Chapter 45: Expired sugar is sugar after all
On the carriage, Gu Chuyue was stunned holding one of the candied fruit jars, and her apricot eyes didn't know what she was looking at, full of confusion.
"Miss......" Pearl was a little worried.
Wasn't Miss very happy to see so many candied fruit jars at first, why did it become like this all of a sudden?
Gu Chuyue tilted her head and leaned on the pearl's shoulder, holding the cold candied fruit jar in her arms, and bowing her head slightly was the sweet taste, but in her heart now, she was not comfortable.
She originally thought that God had given her an expired candy, but after going to the General's Mansion today, she found out that even if it was expired sugar, it was still sugar after all, and it couldn't be bitter.
Her current life is a thousand times better than Sister Yijing, who can only change her fate by getting married, and she can't just think about eating and drinking.
The plan that should be done must be done as early as possible.
Grandmother is old, and today's Aunt Ann is a warning to her.
Gu Chuyue didn't speak, but the arm holding the candied fruit jar tightened slightly.
It wasn't until the coachman said that the bachelor's house had arrived that she returned to her usual smile.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw Gu Yinyuan, who was wearing an official uniform and was about to enter the mansion.
Gu Chuyue handed the candied fruit jar in her arms to Pearl, stepped forward to bless her body, and said obediently: "Daddy." ”
Gu Yinyuan also saw his eldest daughter as soon as he got out of the carriage, and when he saw her coming over, he couldn't help frowning, "Didn't you say that you should learn from the past at home, why did you run out again?" ”
Gu Chuyue lowered her eyes and said, "My daughter went to visit Aunt An's grandmother on the order of her grandmother. ”
It turned out to be on the orders of my mother.
Gu Yinyuan's brows stretched slightly, but as soon as he heard her say that she was going to General An's Mansion, he thought of what An Tai said that day, and his face instantly became not so good-looking.
"Daddy......" Gu Chuyue raised her head slightly, her apricot eyes flashed with crystal tears, she couldn't help but reach out and gently grabbed the wide sleeves of Gu Yinyuan's official uniform.
"This ...... What's going on? ”
Gu Yinyuan was a little uncomfortable with the sudden intimacy of his eldest daughter.
In his impression, his eldest daughter has been a troublemaker since she was a child, arrogant, and her eyes are eager to grow to the sky.
"Daddy......" Gu Chuyue called him so quietly, like a cat caught in the rain.
Seeing that his daughter, who had never been like this before, came back from the General's Mansion like this, Gu Yinyuan squinted his eyes, and his voice was a little impatient, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Gu Chuyue couldn't control her emotions at all now, she flattened her mouth and said glutinously: "Daddy, I saw Aunt An's grandmother today, she is so seriously ill......"
Hearing the eldest daughter mention Mrs. An, Gu Yinyuan couldn't help but sigh, after all, it was her aunt who watched her grow up, and she said that there was no family affection, which was a lie.
He turned his eyes to look at the eldest daughter in front of him, who had not been close to him for many years, and had grown from the fierce dough since she was a child to a girl who would shed tears.
Gu Yinyuan stiffly raised his hand and touched his daughter's sideburns, although his voice was deep but a little kind, he let his daughter pull his sleeve, bowed his head and said, "Go home." ”
Gu Chuyue nodded, still in a childish whisper, "Okay, go home with Daddy." ”
……
Inside Shouhui Hall.
"Coming back?"
The old lady was wearing a warm camel-colored embroidered large Sumei Ruyi pattern gown, with a sandalwood kingfisher wrapped in a hairpin, half-lying on the kang couch, holding a few unread pages of Buddhist books in her hand, and her eyes were half-open.
"I'm back, and the old slave heard that the eldest lady still entered the door with the master."
Fang Gu sat on the round stool next to the kang couch and picked up the needle and thread in the wooden box, "I just heard that the eldest lady is a little depressed." ”
The old lady's eyes never left the Buddhist book for half a minute, and sighed softly, "Have you been to that courtyard?" ”
"I've been there." Fang Gu squinted her eyes and threaded the needle, although she was talking, the movements of her hands did not slow down at all, "Miss sees Mrs. An's current appearance, I don't know how uncomfortable it is, why should the old lady let Miss send it herself." ”
The old lady put down the Buddhist book, pursed her lips and said nothing, and after a while, she sighed: "If you don't go to the General's Mansion, don't go to the deep secluded courtyard, and don't see a daughter to be married, how can my Yue'er know how comfortable she is." ”
"The eldest lady has worked very hard." Fang Gu added.
"Yue'er is still two and a half years away, the marriage is undecided, and she still has a lot to learn." The old lady did not disapprove of Gu Chuyue's efforts, but hoped that she would become better.
"Aunt Fang, how many years have I not worn that county lord uniform?" The old lady rubbed her temples.
"If the old slave remembers correctly, he hasn't worn it for thirty years, but the old slave has ordered someone to take it out and wash it carefully every year, and the color is the same as the day the old lady was sealed, and even the needle and thread are not loose."
Fang Gu thought of how gorgeous the young lady was when she was enthroned, and she still had the amazement of the year in her eyes.
"Let's get it out in the next few days."
Fang Gu's movements in her hand stopped, and she raised her head and said, "What does the old lady want?" ”
I saw the old lady looking back at the pale night outside the window, her face was not gloomy, "Acquaintance is that body, and farewell is also that body." ”
"The old slave knows."
Fang Gu knew it in her heart and responded.
At this time, Yin Moon Garden.
Gu Chuyue came out with a plate of fruit, and said with a smile: "This is not something I want to eat myself, you will find someone to send it to the second lady later, and tell her that this is the fruit made by Sister Yijing herself, by the way, you come over with your ear......"
The candied fruit made by Sister Yijing is so delicious, and the second sister will definitely like it.
Ah Li obeyed the order.
"What is Miss thinking?"
Pearl put the guqin in her arms on the table, she just went to get the piano, why was the young lady so sullen.
Gu Chuyue glanced at the leaky pot on the case, and it was time to practice the piano again.
"It's not that Sister Yijing is going to get married, so I can't bear her."
Pearl put the refreshing tea in the lady's hand, "The slave maid heard that Miss Yijing's wedding date was set in a hurry, and Miss Yinyin Yijing has half a year to go, and I don't know how it will be set at this improper time, and now many people in the capital are making fun of Miss Yijing about this." ”
Gu Chuyue took a sip of tea and said with a sideways look: "What do you say?" ”
"It is said that Miss Yijing is afraid that she will not be able to get married, so she married early."
She nodded in approval, "Sister Yijing really can't get married if she doesn't marry again." ”
Pearl was shocked: "Ah...... Why do you think so even Miss......"
Gu Chuyue glanced at the pearl, "I mean, haven't you seen Aunt An's current physical condition, if I guess correctly, I'm afraid that this wedding date was decided by Aunt and Grandmother with a lot of effort." ”
Pearl scratched her sideburns, "Miss, I still don't understand." ”
