“…… I brought Li Fu to you as the driver, I don't know if you can choose someone to praise and insert the pipe? Mrs. Li asked Gu Lan.

Gu Lan looked at Li Fu first and praised her: "It's the first time I've seen Miss Li Er, she looks really Peugeot!" ”

Li Fu pursed his lips and smiled, but did not speak.

"My father chose my eldest sister to be my admirer." Gu Lan glanced at Gu Jinchao, who was drinking tea, again, and his tone was very calm.

"Chose Miss Gu?" Mrs. Li was a little surprised.

Jin Chao almost choked. I said silently in my heart, what you said about yours, why didn't you even let me drink a cup of tea......

She looked up, and the smiles of Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Li were all gone. Obviously, they all feel that with her virtue, she is not worthy of being a praiser for Gu Lan.

This is what her father said, and she doesn't want to be it yet!

Jin Chao put down the teacup and said lightly: "If Sister Lan is unwilling, I can talk to my father and change someone." ”

Gu Lan's expression was a little aggrieved: "Eldest sister, don't think about it, I don't mean not to be the eldest sister." Don't get me wrong......" She looked timid, as if she was afraid that Jin Chao would swallow her in one bite.

Before Aunt Song could speak, Mrs. Wen's face sank. Hold Gu Lan's hand to comfort her, and say to Jin Chao: "Eldest Miss, forgive me, our Sister Lan doesn't mean anything else, she just doesn't know how to speak." I didn't have anything else on my mind. ”

Jin Chao smiled and said to Mrs. Wen, "How can I hate Sister Lan." He hugged Gu Lan's shoulder affectionately and said, "Just a joke, Sister Lan and I have always been the best." You say, don't you? She winked at Gu Lan.

Gu Lan's whole body stiffened, and she felt that Gu Jinchao's hand on her shoulder made her extremely uncomfortable, but it was not good to have a seizure in front of others, so she nodded reluctantly.

Jin Chao withdrew his hand, lifted the tea lid, and took a shallow sip after a slow blow, which was extremely elegant.

I didn't expect Gu Jinchao to change his face so quickly, Gu Lan and Mrs. Wen didn't know what to say for a while.

It was at this time that Bai Yun came over from the cloister and saluted a few ladies and aunts before saying to Jin Chao, "Miss! Mrs. Ki is here! ”

Jin Chao put down the teacup and said with some surprise: "My grandmother is here?" How did she have time to come? ”

Bai Yun said: "Mrs. Ji made a special trip to give a congratulatory gift to the second lady, saying that she was taking a look at you and Mrs. by the way, and she was in Mrs. Madame's yard at this time!" ”

"Mrs. Ji? The wife of the Tongzhou Ji family? Mrs. Li interjected in surprise.

Bai Yun nodded and replied, "Exactly." Our eldest lady's family is the Tongzhou Ji family. ”

The expressions of the two ladies were inevitably a little different.

They have never paid attention to the affairs of the Gu family. Although they knew that there was still a lady in the Gu family, in their eyes, that lady was like a dead person, and Aunt Song was just waiting to be straightened.

Who knows...... Mrs. Gu turned out to be a member of the Ji family in Tongzhou! No wonder Aunt Song never told them!

If that lady is from the Ji family in Tongzhou, then the possibility of Aunt Song being corrected is a little smaller......

Jin Chao said to Gu Lan: "Since my grandmother has come to give you a congratulatory gift, you must go to meet her old man!" He smiled and turned to the two ladies: "...... If you'd like, why don't you come with me? ”

The two of them were naturally willing.

Even if Gu Jinchao didn't say it, Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Li had to find a way to take a look.

If you can make friends with Mrs. Ji, it will be much more convenient for the family to do business or something in the future. The Ji family is in Yanjing, which is one of the richest in the world, with countless businesses, fields, and real estate, as well as transportation lines that run through the north and south, and tens of thousands of taels of silver are earned every year just for freight!

Aunt Song's face was not very good-looking, but she couldn't stop the two ladies from seeing Mrs. Ji. only sent Qiaowei beside him to follow, saying that he was afraid of the inconvenience of the two ladies and waited on the way.

When she arrived outside the Xixiao Courtyard, Xu's mother was waiting under the corridor, telling her mother that her mother was talking to her grandmother in the inner room of the Jin Dynasty, and Moyu and Momei were waiting outside. He also instructed Moyu to ask the two ladies to go to the west to sit and wait first.

My grandmother hadn't seen her mother for a long time, so she naturally had a lot to say.

The group went to the west room, but saw more than a dozen girls and mothers-in-law standing on the verandah, and there were three stewards with solemn expressions standing next to them. The men all stood with their hands down toward the door, and not a single whisper.

Mrs. Wen asked Moyu in a low voice: "Girl, there are so many maids and daughters-in-law who serve your wife?" ”

Mo Yu smiled: "Madam misunderstood, this is the service brought by Mrs. Ji." ”

Mrs. Wen inevitably said with envy: "...... Looking at the dress and bearing, it is not an ordinary subordinate. ”

She was secretly surprised in her heart that the subordinate who served Mrs. Ji was actually in charge! And followed her into the inner courtyard, and did not shy away from it, it must be the domestic servant who signed the deed of sale. I heard that Mrs. Ji said everything in the Ji family, and it seems that this is indeed the case.

Mrs. Li glanced at Mrs. Wen.

They waited for less than half an hour before their mother and grandmother had finished speaking. Mother Xu personally came to invite them over.

Jin Chao first introduced Aunt Song's two sisters to his grandmother, and Ji Wu was not very enthusiastic, but just smiled, which was regarded as a greeting.

Mrs. Wen smiled and flattered Ji Wu's family: "...... I've heard of your reputation for a long time, and I'm here today! ”

A sneer rose at the corner of Mrs. Li's mouth, but she did not speak.

Ji Shi was lying on the big kang, and her body was covered with a cloud goose pattern brocade quilt, she was weak, although it was early summer, but it couldn't be warm, and she had to burn the hand stove at night. It was difficult to get up, and she only smiled and greeted the two ladies.

Gu Lan was standing behind and looking at her two aunts, expressionless. But I heard Ji Wu's words: "Sister Lan, this child, I haven't seen me for a year, and it's like I don't know ......."

Ji Wu looked at her with a smile, but his gaze was very sharp.

This is to blame her for not greeting the two of them, it is too unruly.

Jin Chao pulled her and asked her to come forward to salute her grandmother, Gu Lan was extremely reluctant, Ji Wu was just Gu Jinchao's grandmother, what did she have to do, she didn't bother to call her!

The voices were a little gnashing: "...... My grandmother is fine. ”

"Sister Lan is getting older and more peugeot, this is going to be a ceremony, it's time to talk about people, right?" Ji Wu asked his mother with a smile.

The mother smiled: "I haven't decided to marry yet, do you see if there is a suitable one, find one for our sister Lan?" ”

Gu Lan said softly: "Mother, don't worry, my father will make up his mind about the marriage." How can you trouble your grandmother? What's more, the eldest sister's marriage has not yet been settled, I think day and night that the eldest sister will marry first, and I will marry out, otherwise wouldn't I not respect the eldest sister? If my grandmother is worried about my marriage, it is better to help the eldest sister pay more attention, because the eldest sister's affairs are more urgent than mine......"

Ji Wu's face sank, Gu Lan was mocking the Jin Dynasty for not having a good marriage, can't he get married?

The Jin Dynasty didn't want Ji Wu's family to worry about Gu Lan, but he just took advantage of a few words, it didn't matter, he was afraid that it would ruin his grandmother's mood when he came to visit them. He smiled and shook Ji Wu's hand and said, "Don't worry, if I don't marry in the future, I'll follow you!" ”

Ji Wu smiled at her: "What kind of stupid words, where is the girl's family not married......"

After saying that, Ji Wu turned his head and looked at Gu Lan coldly.

Gu Lan's scalp was numb when she stared at her, Ji Wu's family was already serious, and this majesty was not comparable to any inner courtyard lady at all.

After a while, Ji Wu turned his gaze back and laughed again: "I am your grandmother, so naturally I have to worry about your marriage, otherwise it will not be good to let some stupid and stupid person marry you." "Beckoned Mother Song to come over," Go, let Steward Zhu bring up the gift I prepared for Sister Lan. ”

Gu Lan chuckled in his heart...... What does Ji Wu mean, does she know about the Mu family's proposal? How did she know!

She looked at Ji again, Ji must have known about this. The two of them have been talking in it for so long just now, are they talking about her?

Gu Lan was speculating in his heart, and the four mothers-in-law came over with two loads of things.

The first load is a one-foot-high jade and jade Buddha, and the second load is all kinds of gilded beads and silver ornaments inlaid with gems. There are no less than a thousand taels of things in two loads, and Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Li who saw it had straight eyes, and they had never seen such a generous gift to others!

Such a big jade jade Buddha, the jade color is still very good, and the bracelets are all of the highest grade, not to mention the jade Buddha!

And those jewelry, which is not very delicate, put in the brocade box to complement each other, it is simply dazzling eyes.

Mrs. Wen smiled with Gu Lan and said, "Your grandmother treats you so well, look at how many gifts she gives you." ”

Ji Wu said: "It's not much, it's just that my grandmother saw that you were dressed plainly on weekdays, so she wanted to give you more heads." If you chant more sutras and worship the Buddha on weekdays, the Buddha will bless you, and it is best to do more good deeds. ”

Gu Lan looked at it but felt very uncomfortable, where were these things given to her, they were clearly smashed on her!

What did she mean by those words, to take money and call Hanako? Or mock her for being vicious?

Ji Wu took in their demeanor, and felt that Gu Lan was too narrow-minded after all, if it was her, he would definitely accept it generously, and thank him with a smile. She turned her head sideways and talked to Jin Chao: "I saw your mother, I should go back after giving your sister and a gift, after all, you can't get rid of the affairs of the family, if you miss me as an old woman, you have to come and see me." ”

Jin Chao looked at his grandmother very kindly, winked at her and said, "Then don't I have to go to Tongzhou every day!" ”

Ji Wu and his mother both laughed.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wen were naturally about to say goodbye, and walked on the bluestone road with Gu Lan, and Mrs. Wen was still saying: "Your grandmother really treats you well and has given so many things, you have to honor her more in the future!" ”

Gu Lan was already angry, and hearing Mrs. Wen say this, his heart was even more uncomfortable. couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Wen coldly, although her aunt was enthusiastic, she was too brainless......

Fortunately, Mrs. Wen said to herself, and she didn't see Gu Lan's expression at all.
