The two decided to travel, so they entrusted Duan Niang to go to the lobby sister-in-law Cui's place. Reprinted from my own book

After they finished freshening up and having breakfast, Gu Xiyan asked Fang Shaoqin to go to Wanqingxuan together.

Hongluan had just gotten up and was still getting dressed, and when she saw Gu Xiyan and Fang Shaoqin entering the house, she showed an impatient expression on her face.

Gu Xiyan turned a blind eye and greeted Hongluan with a smile, but Hongluan turned her face sideways and ignored her.

When Fang Shaoqin saw it, she couldn't help but whisper: "She looks like this, how can she get it in the future...... Anyway, the rules still have to be followed, it's okay to accommodate her once or twice, and in the long run, Hongluan's reputation will also be damaged. When the time comes, you won't be able to get out of it! ”

Gu Xiyan gave her a bitter smile: "So, it's embarrassing for the stepmother......"

Fang Shaoqin shook her head helplessly.

After Hongluan got dressed and finished grooming, Zhenniang appeared in Hongluan's room with a close-fitting girl.

When she saw Gu Xiyan and Fang Shaoqin, she was stunned, but when Hongluan saw her, she showed a sweet smile and stretched out her hand to hug her.

Zhen Niang bowed to the two of them, and then hugged Hongluan, and Mama Shi came in with a small plate with a spoon, and in the spoon, it was a black and fragrant Yangrong ointment.

Gu Xiyan took the plate and scooped up the spoon to feed Hongluan.

Hongluan buried her head in Zhenniang's arms.

Gu Xiyan began to count.

If it was normal, Hongluan would have stared at Gu Xiyan with a decorated gaze, but this time, she didn't even raise her head.

Gu Xiyan counted to a hundred. With a wave of his hand, the spoon was scooped away.

Hongluan was still unmoved.

Play with my heart's eye!

Gu Xiyan smiled and instructed Mama Shi: "Put the jar containing the Yang Rong paste in my room." ”

"Young lady!" Zhen Niang's face turned pale, "Hongluan is a child, and occasionally there are times when he has a temper, you might as well try again!" ”

Gu Xiyan smiled but did not answer.

Fang Shaoqin's eyebrows moved slightly.

Zhen Niang's expression was a little excited, and she said, "Madam, you can't ...... like this."

Gu Xiyan looked at her with a smile, asked Cuiyu to hold the jar of Yangrong paste in her arms, and then went back to the pear orchard with Fang Shaoqin.

As soon as the two of them sat down in the Zhuji Pavilion, Fang Shaoqin sneered: "This Yanguo Mansion." Get rid of some demon moths! ”

"yes!" Gu Xiyan sighed, "You say, according to her, wouldn't my hard work in the past two or three months be in vain." If I don't bring that nourishing ointment into my house...... I'm afraid that if I walk on the front foot, she will feed her a spoon on the back foot......"

Fang Shaoqin frowned, and said, "I think it's only right to find a few experienced nurturing grandmothers with Hongluan......

Gu Xiyan smiled bitterly: "I don't know. It's just that Hongluan's situation is different from other children...... You know that, too. No matter how you have to take care of your child's emotions. This matter can only be done slowly, and there is no need to ...... it."

Fang Shaoqin's eyes turned: "Auntie, you don't want to go to the lobby sister-in-law to reopen the Zhuji Society, so as to drag Zhenniang along!" ”

Gu Xiyan didn't hide it from her, and nodded with a smile.

Zhen Niang is very keen on this kind of social activity!

If a person is distracted, there are naturally some things that he can't take care of...... Therefore, Gu Xiyan came up with this method of getting the best of both worlds......

She didn't have anything to do with Zhenniang, she just felt that Zhenniang knew her influence on Hongluan. is also acting like this, which is quite unpleasant for people to be held by the throat.

Fang Shaoqin couldn't help but giggle.

The plan to go to Cui's Manor to live was much smoother than Gu Xiyan imagined.

First of all, Cui's place, as soon as Duanniang went to talk about it in the morning, she immediately sent a few housekeepers with heads and faces in the family to the small manor to do something, and went to Mrs. Xu in the afternoon. Officially invited Gu Xiyan and Hongluan to her as guests.

Mrs. Xu went to Peanut Alley early in the morning. It is said that Wei Shiying was lying on the bed with a bang, a large room of mothers and maidservants were serving, and the doctor said that Wei Shiying's body was weak and he wanted to have a baby in bed. Mrs. Xu turned around and pulled Qi Yuzhi to cry. Before leaving, Mrs. Xu asked Qi Yuzhi to go to the Yanguo Mansion to bring Fang Shaoqin back. Qi Yuzhi followed. met Fang Shaoqin, but was speechless. Fang Shaoqin couldn't see anything unusual. He proposed to go to Cui's small manor with Gu Xiyan to live for a few days, saying that when his aunt was out of the house, there should be a person to serve her.

In this case, of course, Mrs. Xu immediately agreed.

In this way, early in the morning of the second day of August, Gu Xiyan and their mighty more than a dozen cars headed towards Cui's small manor.

Cui's words were quite modest, Gu Xiyan thought it was a few acres of land, and then there was a few houses in the middle. When she arrived at the realm, she realized that it was far from what she had imagined.

On the side of the wide and smooth bluestone road, there are houses next to each other, all of which are high-rise and extraordinary.

Gu Xiyan and Fang Shaoqin couldn't help but exchange a look: "This, this is a small manor!" ”

Fang Shaoqin leaned over the window to watch, covered her mouth and smiled.

Zhen Niang sat in the carriage with Hongluan in her arms and said, "This place is called Houhu, and it is famous for having lakes. The wealthy families of Yandi like to build manors here, lead the water in the lake into the garden, and make gardens according to the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River......"

Fang Shaoqin couldn't help but glance at the scenery outside the car window, and said with a smile: "Since it's so close, why don't you lead the water of Houhudi Lake into Yongzhou City...... Speaking of which, although the Yanguo Mansion is large and the scenery is beautiful, there is no lake view. I don't think there is anyone in Yongzhou City! ”

Zhen Niang smiled and said: "It seems that if you bring living water into the house, the project is quite large, and a few houses will have to be demolished...... That's it! ”

Gu Xiyan thought of something else.

In this case, Ye Shisu jumped to his death, which river did he jump to?

"Then do you know where the nearest river to Yongzhou City is?" Gu Xiyan said as if unintentionally.

"In the spring!" Zhen Niang said. "It's only two or three taels away from Houhu, and there is a thin river that flows into the Ying River to the east."

As they spoke, the carriage stopped.

Immediately a small servant ran over in front of Guangliang's door, lowered the high threshold, and the carriage drove into the manor on the bluestone slab.

Cui's had already led a large group of maids and maids to wait at the second gate, and as soon as the carriage stopped, she greeted her.

When everyone got out of the car, it was naturally a greeting.

The Cui family placed Gu Xiyan and Fang Shaoqin in the East Cross Courtyard. Gu Xiyan lives in a larger place, with a back cover room, which happens to place Zhen Niang and Hongluan there, while Fang Shaoqin lives in the courtyard next to her.

Everyone freshened up, and then gathered in the flower hall.

Cui's set up a banquet in the flower hall to wash the dust for Gu Xiyan and Fang Shaoqin.

Before the wine and food were served, Cui Shi gave Gu Xiyan a look, and then chatted with Fang Shaoqin very enthusiastically, telling some jokes from time to time, making Fang Shaoqin laugh.

Gu Xiyan took the teacup and took a sip quietly. Looking at Cui's words, who were more exaggerated than usual, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It seems that the Cui family has gotten the news, otherwise, they wouldn't have acted like this!

During this period, Hongluan has been hugging Zhen Niang tightly, looking around nervously, and not wanting to leave for a moment, Zhen Niang sat on the Taishi chair with the child in her arms, and gently patted the child's back. Soothe her emotions.

Cui Shi and Fang Shaoqin said a few words, and Hongluan suddenly lost his temper and struggled in Zhenniang's arms, Zhenniang coaxed in a low voice, but it didn't work.

Who knew that Cui Shi suddenly turned around and said, "Zhen Niang." Hongluan sat impatiently. You're just going to carry her around......"

Zhen Niang blushed, stood up with Hongluan in her arms, answered in a low voice for a while, and then walked out of the flower hall with the child in her arms.

Cui Shi saw Gu Xiyan looking at her with some surprise, a little coldness appeared on his face, and said, "Ninth brother and sister, I didn't say you, although you are young. But it's also the one who makes the decision at home...... Which family's adoptive mother is like her. Everything goes in and out with the master. Sometimes, you have to scoop up a little hard. ”

Gu Xiyan was stunned. muttered: "I see you, you have a good time with her, so ......"

Cui Shi said quickly: "Aren't we looking at it for the sake of our younger siblings? ”

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but be shocked, but immediately understood.

No matter what Zhenniang's identity was before, but she is now a foster mother in Hongluandi, and for the Xiangcui family, she is a servant...... Fortunately, he is married to Qi Maosheng, and he is a person who can be the master of the house, if he marries into someone like Jiang Xinglin, he may make some jokes......

But if Cui's rejection of Zhen Niang, then during this time, Zhen Niang only needs to be tired of being with Hongluan every day, isn't this completely different from his own plan?

She couldn't help but look at Fang Shaoqin.

Although Fang Shaoqin felt that what Cui said was reasonable, she had agreed to Gu Xiyan before. So he said against his will: "Auntie, Zhenniang is of noble birth, and she has always been conscientious to Hongluan, which is different from ordinary adoptive mothers, so my aunt has special respect for ......."

Cui Shi pursed his lips disapprenously: "If you want people to respect, you must first respect yourself." If you don't do it, you want to be a mother, how can you make others respectful! ”

Gu Xiyan and Fang Shaoqin both felt that there was something to say in this, and couldn't help but say: "Sister-in-law in the lobby, but, Zhenniang, what's ...... not?"

"The ninth brother and sister don't know!" Cui Shi looked out the window at Zhen Niang, who was walking around with Hongluan, and said, "She married into the Wang family with the tablet of Wang Gongzi, the Wang family is up and down, not to mention the concubine, that is, the aunts have seen it, and they are also respectful to her, and the old lady is closer to her than her own daughter, and the degree of food and clothing is compared to that of her mother-in-law." She was good, she came to the house to be an adoptive mother, she knew, said that she was good friends with Mrs. Ye, and kept her promises, but if she didn't know, she thought that the Wang family couldn't tolerate this widow...... But who believes it, who is willing to be the master and is willing to bow his eyebrows and serve others. You say, let's be respectful of those of us who are relatives! ”

Cui, aren't you too excited?

Gu Xiyan and Fang Shaoqin couldn't help but look at each other.

Cui is also a clever person, and said bluntly: "My mother, surnamed Wang, is her aunt ...... in-law."
