Chapter Seventy-Five: The Peach Blossom Hairpin
Gu Ruonan has always been close to Gu Jingcheng, and she is very happy to be able to ride an ox cart home with him.
"I can't go back until the evening, and there are still some things to take care of in the academy, so you can leave first."
Gu Jingcheng shook his head, he looked at the food in the bowl, and he didn't have any desire to eat.
The Yin family and the Chen family were also happy that the little uncle suddenly wanted to go back.
After all, when the Li family went out, they told them to bring Gu Jingcheng some food, and now that he wants to go back, there is no need to do more.
One more person went home for dinner, and they bought more when they were in the city.
Su Xiaomu likes to eat pig's head, so they asked for a whole pig's head.
Because they bought a lot, the boss was going to send the pigs to them in the water.
But that thing was dirty and difficult to cook, and after Yin bargained with the boss, he got a few pork ribs and took them back to stew in soup.
The Li family didn't say anything after knowing that Gu Jingcheng was coming back.
She had planned to let her baby son come back to celebrate together, but if she wasn't worried about affecting his study, she would have asked the Yin family to call him early in the morning.
Now that he had returned on his own, she was of course happy in her heart.
Jing Cheng goes home a few more times, and he can cultivate a relationship with Xiao Mu a few more times.
She actually feels like a mirror in her own heart.
knows that the two of them have no feelings until now, and if they only rely on the relationship between husband and wife and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they will not be able to tie up Su Xiaomu, who has his own ideas in his heart.
On the other hand, Gu Jingcheng didn't know that his mother was thinking about him giving birth again, so he went home directly after taking leave from the academy on the grounds that there was an urgent matter at home.
But after seeing a jewelry shop at the gate of the academy, he stopped for no reason.
Su Xiaomu celebrates her birthday, and he should give her a congratulatory gift.
So he went in to pick out the gifts, and at a glance he saw the peach hairpin on the shelf.
"The peach is dying, scorching its beauty, the son is returning, it is suitable for his room, the son looks so young, he must have been married to his wife not long ago, right? This newlywed, the most suitable thing to send is our family's peach blossom hairpin, can the son take a look? ”
As soon as the owner of the jewelry store saw the clothes Gu Jingcheng was wearing, he knew that he was not an ordinary ordinary person, so he worked hard to sell to him.
"Son, don't think I'm talking too much, this little couple has just gotten married, and they need to give each other more gifts to better connect their feelings.
You said that you gave your wife a hairpin, and then personally put it on her hairpin, doesn't it mean to raise your eyebrows in it? ”
Su Xiaomu didn't know about Gu Jingcheng's return.
She has been lying in bed in the morning, and after waiting for her two sisters-in-law to come back at noon, she was arranged by Li to take a few children to the mountains to play.
She didn't have a home for half of the day, so when she came back from dinner, she was quite surprised to see Gu Jingcheng talking to Old Man Gu in the courtyard.
"Why did Xianggong come back? Today is not the day for you to meditate. But what happened to you at the academy and you want to come back and discuss with us? ”
Su Xiaomu reflexively played a harmonious couple with Gu Jingcheng in front of people, and she walked beside him affectionately to dust off his clothes for him.
A pretty little face added a little uneasiness: "If you knew that you were going to come back, you should have asked the two sisters-in-law to wait for you, and the family sitting in a car together is always more at ease than someone else's car." ”
Old Man Gu wanted to go back to the house when he saw his little daughter-in-law coming, but at first glance what she said made sense, so he also echoed a few words.
"Xiao Mu is right, let them wait for you next time you come back, it won't take much time."
"My son knows, and next time I will remember what I told my sister-in-law."
He saw the worry on her face that was about to overflow, and his eyes became more and more complicated.
She was worried about him, and he should have been happy.
But he knew that her happiness was just a joke, and there was actually no affection between the two of them.
Thinking about this, Gu Jingcheng's heart sank directly.
Li beckoned her eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law to make a table of dishes.
She originally wanted to make a big deal for Su Xiaomu's birthday, and when she heard that her baby son was back, she waved her hand, added several meat dishes, and moved out the home wine that Old Man Gu pressed at the bottom of the box.
"Xiaomu, try it, this wine is our home-brewed sorghum wine.
It was brewed when I first married your father-in-law, and if you count the vintage, it is bigger than your eldest brother. ”
Li Shi was happy, she didn't have any scruples when she poured the wine, and the old man's distressed face was about to distort.
She happily pulled Su Xiaomu and looked at the other two daughters-in-law and said.
"Their old Gu family is really blessed, they can marry such a sensible daughter-in-law of the three of you, old family, don't blame your mother for being talkative.
Although I always blame you for not being able to give me a baby grandchild, Ruotong and Ruonan and I also love the same, and I have never wronged them. ”
"I know my mother, I don't blame you, I didn't succeed the Xianggong lineage, I know it's all my own fault."
Probably talking about the sad place, the sister-in-law wiped her tears while sobbing.
One of them was sadder than the other, and each one looked sadder than the other.
It's not okay to let Su Xiaomu, the birthday star, eat with chopsticks for a while, and it's not okay to be sad with them when he picks up wine.
She was a little overwhelmed and looked left and right, and then fixed her eyes on Gu Jingcheng for help.
Oh my God, come out and save her!
It's so embarrassing and embarrassing now, so embarrassing that she has to pick her toes on the ground!
Of course, Gu Jingcheng noticed her gaze, he put down his chopsticks and coughed lightly, "I came back early today because I have something to tell my father." ”
"What's the matter, Jingcheng?"
As soon as he heard the voice of his precious son, Li instantly came back to his senses and looked at him lovingly, "But the money in the academy is not enough?" ”
"It's not." Gu Jingcheng almost choked, "The head of the academy, Song Shanchang, recommended me to a famous master, and he asked me to go to Fucheng half a month early to prepare for the government exam.
I came back this time to tell my father and mother that if there is no accident, I will invite someone to study in half a month. ”
This was a rare opportunity for him, and Gu Jingcheng had already made up his mind to seize it.
"Oops! The mountain chief of your academy is really a good person, giving Jingcheng such a good opportunity, when you come back from the exam in Fucheng, our family can go together to thank you Mountain Chief! ”
When Lee heard the good news, he felt more and more that he had made the right decision to celebrate with wine today.
She was overjoyed and poured a glass of wine for one person at the table, and told them to stand up together to congratulate Gu Jingcheng.
And he replied one by one.
As soon as such good news came out, everyone at the dinner table was congratulating Gu Jingcheng on his future.
Su Xiaomu was still satisfied with the pig's trotters.
After eating, Li pulled Gu Jingcheng and Su Xiaomu into the house, she packed her two sisters-in-law to wash the dishes, and then took out a bag of silver from the box under her bed and handed it to Gu Jingcheng.
Lee's mood at the moment is no longer as happy as just now.
Instead, she looked at her baby son worriedly and distressedly and said, "Although it's not the first time you've gone out, my mother is still worried that you will suffer outside."
Mother Xing Qianli is worried, you must take Xiaomu with you when you go out this time, she will always take care of you on the side, and your father and I will not worry about you at home. ”
