"Something?" Xie Yi smiled slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Then invite her to come in and sit down." ”

"Yes." Black Tea was ordered to retreat and invite Gu Xiang in.

Mingxin urged her to drink the medicine quickly: "Girl, drink it quickly." ”

Xie Yixiao reached out and touched the bowl, and then said, "It's still a little hot, and you can dry it again." ”

Mingxin thought about it: "That girl must drink it in a while." ”

"Hmm."

As she spoke, Black Tea had already led Gu Xiang in, she was wearing a lotus-colored dress, a simple golden hairpin on her head, her face was a little pale, and she was followed by a maid in a narrow-sleeved green coat, carrying a package on her back.

There is an unwritten rule among the powerful clans of the Imperial City, if it is a family concubine, there are two first-class maidservants and four second-class maidservants, the first-class maidservants serve closely, and the second-class maidservants specialize in helping to run errands, and if they are concubines, they are halved.

The first-class maid next to Xie Yixiao is Mingxin Mingjing, and the second-class maid starts with red letters, namely black tea, red maple, red lotus, and red yarn, and the four of them perform their own duties.

The black tea is in charge of the reception of guests, informing, guiding, and sending off guests, while the red maple is in charge of the cleaning problems in the yard, and every day you have to keep an eye on the people below to clean, wipe, prune, and manage flower beds and potted plants.

Red Lotus is in charge of eating, what is in the kitchen every day, what the master wants to eat, and many other things, so that the master eats happily and satisfied.

The last red yarn is in charge of the clothes of the four seasons, such as the preservation of clothes, incense, handover laundry with the pulp washing room, etc., and what clothes to do every month, she has to communicate with the embroidery girl.

Gu Xiang is the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and it should be according to the example of the concubine, she originally also had two first-class maidservants, and she was driven away for some reason, and then only one was left.

The Zhou family is the housewife, and she also had the intention to add one to her, but Aunt Xu mixed it up, and the Sun family couldn't stand up, and she dragged her feet and thin mud, so it was delayed, as for the second-class maidservant, she had a name, and it was almost the same as not.

In this way, there is only one servant girl named Zhaoshui by Gu Xiang's side.

Speaking of which, Gu Xiang's concubine is also very pitiful, no wonder she looks like a hedgehog, whoever provokes her will stab whom.

Gu Xiang was a little embarrassed, and his face was a little embarrassed: "Cousin, take the liberty to disturb." ”

"Cousin." Xie Yi smiled with a smile on his face, "I'm not feeling well, so I won't be polite to you, and sit down." ”

Gu Xiang is not good at greeting people, so he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then sat down on the side of the wooden couch, and someone quickly brought a cup of tea, which Mingxin took and put in front of her.

Gu Xiang saw that her face was pale, delicate and weak, as if she could be broken with a slight pinch, and there was still a bowl of hot medicine on the table, so he asked, "Cousin, is she feeling better today?" ”

Xie Yi said with a smile: "It's better than yesterday, and if you have to drink medicine for a few days, and if you raise it for ten days and half a month, you will probably be fine." ”

Gu Xiang often has a cold face on weekdays, raises her chin slightly, and makes a strong and domineering appearance that is not easy to bully, others say that she is arrogant, has a bad temperament, and is not easy to get along with, but if she is half weak, she will be bullied to death by Aunt Xu's mother and daughter.

But because of this, her reputation is not good, and she doesn't have any friends, even when she talks to people, she is a little stiff.

"That's good." Gu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, the expression on her face slowed down a little, and then she began to stiffen again, she moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but she was a little difficult to speak.

Xie Yixiao sat aside, seeing that she had something to say, she didn't urge, just waited quietly, looked down at the twig embroidery on the cuffs, and waited for a while before the other party spoke: "Cousin, in fact, I came here today to ask for something." ”

Gu Xiang's face was a little stiff, and he was awkward: "I think you also know what happened last night, I came here today to let you take me in for one night." ”

Gu Xiang is not a person who is embarrassed, but she has no other choice now, the Jiang family doesn't care about this matter, the Zhou family wants to take care of it, but she can't interfere too much in the affairs of the second room, at most she will send her back, and then warn and reprimand Aunt Xu, but it is useless.

Gu Ying is an opponent with her, and she won't help her, thinking about it, she can only come to Xie Yi to laugh.

"Cousin, although I don't have anything to give you now, if I can become the wife of the prince in the future, if you have anything, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."

Xie Yixiao raised his eyes to look at her, and saw that although her expression was a little stiff, her gaze was firm, and even a little bent on going her own way.

Gu Xiangren is not bad, but her life is a little difficult, she probably feels that this is her golden opportunity, as long as she seizes this opportunity and marries into the Wu'an Hou Mansion as the wife of the prince, she will be able to get out of this mud pit in the future, and even protect her younger brother.

According to Xie Yixiao's thoughts, it is best for Gu Yi to marry him, these two are a perfect match, let them toss it themselves, but Gu Xiang has to fight for this.

Xie Yixiao kindly reminded: "Do you want to be the wife of the prince of the Wu'an Hou Mansion?" Do you know what's going on? ”

Xie Yi smiled and saw Gu Xiang silent, and then analyzed for her: "Don't talk about anything else for the time being, let's first talk about this Mrs. Wu'anhou, Mrs. Wu'anhou is most satisfied with the eldest cousin, the eldest daughter of the dignified Marquis, and she is the best candidate for the eldest daughter-in-law, you yourself understand your situation, Mrs. Wu'anhou must not be satisfied, and she will be picky in the future." ”

"And the prince of Wu'an, who was also in love with his eldest cousin before, and couldn't wait to hold her in the palm of his hand, if you marry in the past, so that he and his eldest cousin miss, it is not impossible to resent you and hate you in the future, and to bully and scold you."

"I know the reason why you want this family affair, but you just want to protect yourself and your brother, but I'm afraid the future will not be too good, I just hope you think twice."

Gu Xiang laughed, his voice helpless and desolate: "I naturally know that the future may not be easy, but if I don't fight and miss this time, there will be no such a good opportunity next time, and you also know my mother's temperament, in the future, Zhilan and I may fall into the hands of Aunt Xu, what good life can we have." ”

"I have made up my mind, I must fight for this family matter, although I am not as good as the eldest sister, but compared to the other two, in the end, I am still the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and there is always a chance of winning."

"This time, I also asked my cousin to take me in for one night, let me spend tonight, and I will definitely repay you in the future."
