Chapter 193: The Name Is the Same (4)

Fang Shaoqin was stunned.

It should have been Qi Hongluan's mother who had been in the morning, why did Gu Xiyan go to see Qi Hongluan early in the morning, could it be that he was sick?

"Auntie, but Sister Hongluan is uncomfortable," Fang Shaoqin's face turned red as she said, "Speaking of which, I, as a sister-in-law, haven't given my sister a meeting gift yet!" ”

No matter what Mrs. Xu and Zhenniang's original intentions were, Gu Xiyan agreed with their intention or unintentionally to hide Hongluan.

The society is more harsh on girls, and Hongluan will have to get married and have children in the future, and the reputation of "evil disease" will always have an impact on her future life, and in Gu Xiyan's heart, she doesn't want anyone to look at this child with strange eyes. So, when we don't know how serious Hongluan's condition is, it's better to pay a little attention to the public's gaze.

So Gu Xiyan refused: "She is not in good health and is avoiding people." After a few days, she will be better, and I will take her to greet my new sister-in-law. ”

This was too polite, with a tactful refusal.

Fang Shaoqin smiled wryly.

No matter how much affection Gu has for herself, but after all, she is from Xizhao, and there are some things that she should keep a few copies of!

She stood up and said with a smile: "Since my aunt is busy, then I will leave first." ”

Gu Xiyan looked at Fang Shaoqin's reluctant smile, her expression was a little stiff because of the tightness, and when she thought of the vitality that filled her whole body when she met for the first time, she suddenly shivered.

is also married from afar. Although she has the love of her husband, she lacks an upright name; And Fang Shaoqin, although she has a dignified and upright reputation, but the husband and wife are ...... himself and Fang Shaoqin. In fact, different paths lead to the same end...... Someday, they will be tormented beyond recognition by these family trivialities!

As if to save herself, Gu Xiyan took Fang Shaoqin's hand: "At grandmother's, you are a junior, you have to make rules; In Peanut Alley. You are a housewife, and you have to behave...... When will I be able to breathe? You should be stolen half a day, as if you were back at your mother's house, come to me to relax. Be a big girl again. ”

Fang Shaoqin could no longer hide her surprise, revealing a shocked expression.

Gu Xiyan couldn't bear to look at her, so she turned around and called Mo Ju: "Mo Ju, I'm going to Wanqingxuan for a trip, you serve the young grandmother well!" ”

Hongluan was sitting on the carpet with peony blossoms, holding a purse and looking left and right, as if there was some rare treasure in it, Zhenniang called her, but she ignored it.

Gu Xiyan squatted on the carpet and talked to Zhenniang.

"Is Hongluan okay?"

"Hmm." Zhen Niang smiled. "There are familiar people around. Familiar objects, she felt at ease. I slept well yesterday too. ”

Gu Xiyan's heart that had been hanging was slightly relaxed. Zhen Niang smiled apologetically: "I heard that Mrs. Xu was sick, and I thought that Mrs. Xu didn't come back so soon...... Prepare to wait a little longer......"

Gu Xiyan watched very patiently as Hongluan returned the simple purse, and said with a smile: "I was just afraid that you would be too early, so I deliberately came over earlier...... It rained suddenly, and Yuzhi's new daughter-in-law was ...... at my place"

Zhen Niang's eyes wandered: "Well, the new young grandmother who entered the door is with you." Then I'll go over and say hello to her later! ”

Gu Xiyan looked at Hongluan who was trying to tear the purse, and said lightly: "Gardenia is alone with her." It doesn't matter...... You've passed. Hongluan must always have someone to take care of here! ”

Zhenniang took Ma Za and gave it to Gu Xiyan to sit on: "I still want Mama Lei...... Don't worry. ”

Gu Xiyan took the opportunity to sit on the horse: "Then let's go over later!" ”

Zhen Niang bent her knees and gave Gu Xiyan a salute: "Then I'll change my clothes first!" ”

Gu Xiyan seemed to be attracted by Hongluan, and let out an absent-minded "um". said: "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”

Zhenniang's footsteps gradually faded away, and Gu Xiyan asked Hongluan: "Hongluan, what's in the flower bag?" ”

Hongluan was still playing with her purse, ignoring Gu Xiyan's words.

Gu Xiyan sighed: "You look like this, but your father is in a hurry." Year after year, I missed the best time to learn to speak and walk, and I met a good doctor in the future, and I am afraid that it will be useless! ”

Hongluan didn't seem to hear it.

"Really?"

Behind Gu Xiyan came the girl's worried question.

She looked back and saw Gardenia standing behind her with a set of tangrams.

"Really? Madam, is it really incurable? Gardenia's face was full of worry, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Is this for Hongluan?" Gu Xiyan looked at the toy in Gardenia's hand.

Gardenia nodded, still struggling with the sentence: "Third girl, can't you get better anymore?" ”

"It's not all," Gu Xiyan touched her head with a smile, "Start one day earlier, there will be hope one day earlier!" ”

Gardenia's eyes showed hesitation: "But she is a third girl, as soon as she cries, we dare not let her walk......"

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "Don't you dare, don't you dare Zhenniang?" ”

Gardenia nodded: "Well, everyone doesn't dare." ”

"Why?" Gu Xiyan was very surprised.

Gardenia opened her black grape-like eyes and said as a matter of course: "Because she is the master!" ”

Gu Xiyan was still about to ask something, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw a peach-colored floor-length dress, she immediately changed the topic, and said to Gardenia with a smile: "Then you can help the third girl in the future!" ”

Gardenia seemed to have thought of something, and nodded desperately: "Don't worry, madam, I will definitely help the third girl!" Xingyu quickly placed a few plates of dried fruits on the small table on the kang, and made a new pot of tea. I lit a glass lamp again, and said with a smile: "Grandma, look, is it on?" ”

Fang Shaoqin looked at the hawthorn cakes, cloud chips, orange cakes, black dates, and sesame candy on the small table. Laughing: "It's good! ”

Xingyu bowed and retreated.

Over there, Mo Ju took a azure lake silk quilt embroidered with twig flowers, and put it on her lap with a smile.

Mama Shi knew that Mo Ju was the big girl in charge of Gu Xiyan's house, so she said with some flattery: "It's still Miss Mo Ju who is careful." ”

"Mama complimented!" Mo Ju smiled respectfully, then half-squatted and bowed, and withdrew.

Fang Shaoqin looked at the surrounding arrangements to the fullest.

In the middle is a silk screen embroidered with a baby peony, dividing the bedroom into two halves. The big kang near the window is full of multi-treasure lattices along the edge, and all kinds of things are placed. There are books to read, pen and ink to use. Play as you wish, and return a deck of leaf cards...... Like a maiden's boudoir.

"Tut-tut," Mama Shi also looked at the room, "This young lady is still a child's heart." Girl, look, there's a shuttlecock in the corner over there! ”

Fang Shaoqin looked at Mama Shi's fingers.

Really, there is a small Nanmu box in the corner of the Kangwei Duobaoge, and two chicken feather shuttlecocks are placed in front of it.

Fang Shaoqin looked at the bright feathers. There was a moment of distraction. Mama Shi casually pulled out the Nanmu box. picked up the shuttlecock and shook it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Girl, I didn't expect the young lady to be like you, like to kick the shuttlecock......"

Fang Shaoqin's ears rang with a cheerful laugh like a silver bell.

"Big brother, big brother, look, how high I kick!"

Under the leafy tree, he was wearing a green jacket. With a carefree smile. Swing your hands and twist your waist. Shuttlecocks with brightly colored feathers rise and fall between their feet......

The hand is like having its own consciousness, and the shuttlecock is pinched in the hand.

Over there, Mama Shi has been sucked in by the Nanmu box: "What are you in here!" ”

Fang Shaoqin came back to her senses and was about to stop her, but Mama Shi had already opened the box.

The two of them looked at the contents of the box and were stunned.

It is an unfinished embroidery work, embroidered is a purse, the pattern of the purse is Hanmei Lingxue, the needle angle gap is different, it can be seen that the technique is very rusty, and there are all kinds of embroidery threads next to it.

Suddenly, Fang Shaoqin's eyes flashed with Gu Xiyan's naughty appearance blinking her eyes.

It's like suddenly discovering a secret that no one knows.

Gu Xiyan suddenly became kind and vivid in Fang Shaoqin's mind.

"Mama, put it away!" She said a little hurriedly, "Since it's in the corner, naturally I don't want anyone to know." ”

Mama Shi also understood, and hurriedly covered the box and put it back in its place.

Fang Shaoqin instructed Mama Shi: "Don't say it to anyone." ”

Although Mama Shi nodded, she couldn't help but smile and said, "I really didn't expect the young lady's embroidery work...... Even children of seven or eight years old are not as good as ......."

Fang Shaoqin smiled but didn't answer, and casually pulled out two books from the Duobao grid nearby.

One is "Thirteen Lang", the other is "Caolu Poetry Collection", the former is a Qing opera book, and the latter is a collection of poems by a great poet in Xizhao.

She pulled out all the books in the Dobao grid and looked at them.

Wild history and miscellaneous talks, hundreds of schools of thought, geographical literature, song book lyrics...... There are all kinds of them, some elegant and some vulgar.

Fang Shaoqin looked at the red eight-step bed that was faintly visible in the blank space of the rooster peony silk screen, and was a little stunned.

Gu Xiyan, what kind of girl is she?

In front of people, she follows the rules, is docile and courteous but tactful, but looking at the furnishings in this room, she is full of flying and free, and she is not formal......

If it weren't for such an encounter, would there be another scene between the two!

Fang Shaoqin sighed, and heard a soft voice from outside, and his tone was very respectful.

She hurriedly gave Mama Shi a look, and the two of them put the book in the lattice of Duobaoge.

Fang Shaoqin took a book and leaned on the big pillow.

As soon as she got into a pose, Gu Xiyan walked in with a woman in her twenties. Far away, the woman half-squatted and made a blessing salute, and said, "Little girl, Zhenniang, please say hello to the young grandmother!" ”

Fang Shaoqin hurriedly lifted the bed and got up, looking at Gu Xiyan with a puzzled gaze.

Gu Xiyan introduced them with a smile: "This virgin lady is Hongluan's adoptive mother. ”

Wealthy families will invite a female official from the palace or a woman with a good reputation to be the adoptive mother of the girl, so that they can follow the rules, learn the six arts, and be a qualified lady.

So Fang Shaoqin didn't slack off her, and nodded at her with a smile.

Zhen Niang raised her head, and Fang Shaoqin saw a pair of big watery eyes.

She was stunned.

I remembered Wei Shiying's twinkling eyes.
