In addition to Gu Xi, there is also Gu Xi's maid, Lotus Fragrance.

Since she can follow, she is Gu Xi's confidant. Gu Xi found a way to live in Pei's house. She had enough energy but found nothing. She knew better than anyone else.

Seeing Gu Xi pacing back and forth, she was also worried and couldn't help whispering softly, "Miss, I've found out what happened that day."

Gu Xi refreshed.

Overhearing the conversation between Lao An Ren and Yu Tang by accident, the intimacy revealed in her tone made her very uneasy, and the things she said between the words made her extremely alert. She sent He Xiang to inquire, He Xiang Xiang has never responded to her.

"What the **** is going on? Tell me!" Gu Xi stopped in front of He Xiang.

He Xiang hesitated for a moment, feeling that Gu Xi would be angry if he knew about it, but if he didn't tell Gu Xi, letting Gu Xi make a mistake in his judgment would cause more serious consequences. She lowered her voice and said, "It's the third master. Seeing that Miss Yu's cloak is a bit thin, she sent someone down the mountain to pick up a white sable cloak and give it to Miss Yu."

Before she finished her words, Gu Xi's expression had changed drastically. She exclaimed: "What did you say?"

He Xiang pursed her mouth uncomfortably, and continued to mutter in a low voice: "The third master was directly given to Miss Yu. Somehow, Lao An learned, and Lao An said that the third master did not understand general affairs before. Ms. Yu treats herself as her own family, so she will be informal."

Gu Xi felt that this sounded like a knife was piercing herself.

What is your family?

What is informality?

The two rankings are so difficult for Pei Yan to pass the exam. If you are interested, would you not understand these etiquette?

Pei Yan clearly looked at Miss Yu in a different light.

And what does Lao Anren mean? Whitewashing like a thief? This is because the more you look at Miss Yu, the more satisfied you are, and you treat her as the person in your son's house, right?

Layers of unwillingness emerged in Gu Xi's heart.

Miss Yu pretended to be deaf and dumb, so why did she press her down without saying a word?

Gu Xi was still considering whether to have a good relationship with the big wife, but at this moment, it seemed that there was a fire in her heart, which not only ignited her sanity, but also made her breathless.

Yu Tang wants to marry Pei Yan, it depends on whether she agrees!

When Gu Xi thought of this, he not only doubled his courage, but also gave birth to the courage to never hesitate.

She smiled and said, "Let’s go to the greenhouse to see orchids? I’ve heard the elders in the family talk about it, saying that the elder wife is a master of orchid cultivation, and she has liked to grow orchids since she was young. Don’t talk about orchids in Beijing, even in Guangzhou. Many people like it, and there have been people who have spent a lot of effort to find it at a big price, wanting to buy orchids raised by the big wife. Since we are here, we have to take a look at what we are going to do, lest others ask, we don’t know."

It’s usually the same, but isn’t it a special situation now?

He Xiang persuaded: "Why are you doing this? The eldest son said, you come here, that is, let Lao An recognize a familiar face, and he has his own opinions on other things. You, just stay at home and wait for the news. Enough."

After all, he was too proactive, not to mention frivolous, and too arrogant.

Gu Xi is an idea, and will not change her mind just because of a few words from her confidant.

She replied in a distracted manner, but in her mind she had to find an excuse to go to the greenhouse frequently so that she could meet the big wife.

This opportunity will come soon.

After Zhang Shao was sent away, Lao An stayed in his yard for a few days. Yu Tang, Gu Xi and the ladies from Pei's family didn't have to go to Lao An to greet him, and arrange their own affairs. Miss 2 and Gu Xi often talk about themselves together, Miss 3 and Miss 4 practice calligraphy together, Miss Fifth comes to Yu Tang to play every day, and learn to make silk flowers with Yu Tang. Moreover, Miss Wu seems to be very talented in this aspect. From the beginning, she did a good job of matching colors, not like Yu Tang, who did her best to make artificial flowers, but made all kinds of silk flowers with contrasting colors. , Once I made a peony with half pink and half pink.

Yu Tang gaped, but had to admit that such silk flowers looked so beautiful.

Miss Fifth gave it to Lao An happily.

Lao An praised Miss Wu and gave Miss Wu a lot of snacks, but did not leave her to speak in her yard.

Yu Tang feels something has happened.

But because he lives in the inner courtyard, there is no way to know what's going on.

People are most afraid of the unknown, she can't help but feel a little anxious, and asks about Pei Yan's whereabouts.

Miss Wu didn't know, or why she asked these things. Aunt Ji, on the contrary, whispered to her: "The third master is hiding in the mountains, and no one wants to see him. Lao An even spared him from the morning and dusk. I heard from my in-laws that it was said that the third master was recuperating in another hospital. ."

Mrs. Ji's in-laws are the shopkeepers of Tong Da.

Yu Tang let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as Pei Yan is stable here, I must be able to live this day safely.

At this moment, Mrs. Shen coughed somehow, so she asked the doctor and said that she often lived in the house where the earth dragon was burned, and it was too dry.

Gu Xi was secretly overjoyed and offered to buy a few golden tangerines back, and said: “Money tangerines have the effect of relieving coughs. Now the weather is getting colder and colder. Even though people can go out frequently to reduce coughing, it can be hot and cold. It’s easy to catch cold. It’s better to boil the money and drink it as usual, which can calm the cough and nourish the lungs."

Lao An is accustomed to staying in a house burned with earth dragons in winter. Among the juniors, only the fifth lady followed the second wife in office since childhood. In winter, he was accompanied by a brazier. He had a cough because of this in the spring of this year. The earth dragon quickly went out, and Miss Wu's cough soon healed. Although everyone knew about the situation this time, they also took the matter to heart, but they were afraid that she would be cold, so they watched carefully. Fortunately, Miss Wu hasn't coughed yet.

Lao Anren felt sorry for Miss Wu, and immediately nodded and agreed, and asked Auntie Chen to send someone down the mountain to the back garden of Pei's mansion to bring a lot of money and tangerines over and raise them next to the greenhouse.

Gu Xi often goes there to pick money tangerines.

Aunt Chen met Gu Xi with a flushed face, and continued to say: "Just tell the maid to pick what you need, so why bother you to come by yourself."

Gu Xi smiled and wiped her hands and said, "Mrs. Shen is my elder after all, and I should honor her. Besides, I am not too used to the earth dragon in the house, it is too hot."

Aunt Chen admired Gu Xi very much, and she got along well with Mrs. Shen, she couldn't help but smiled and said, "You are interested. I will let them burn you? The earth dragons in the house should not burn more charcoal."

"Don't, don't, don't." Gu Xi kept stopping, "It's too cold in the room, and Mrs. Shen will feel too cold."

Aunt Chen didn't want to say anything else, and in the evening, she gave her some loquat ointment.

Gu Xi smiled and gave it to Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen leaned in the room alone, looking at Cheng Chen above her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Gu Xi didn't bother her either, and left after sending the things.

The next day, when she went to pick money tangerines again, she met the big wife as she wished.

The eldest lady looked a little weaker than when she saw her last time, and smiled and greeted her politely.

Gu Xi socialized her for a few words, and then he separated after complimenting the orchid she raised.

Lao An got the news right away, and his face sank.

Unlike Mrs. Shen. The eldest wife wants face, and she may not say anything when she meets Mrs. Shen, but Gu Xi has a brother who has become a disciple of Sun Gao's disciple in the Imperial Court's Zuodu Yushi, and the eldest wife will only give birth to a lot of thoughts.

She asked: "Who put those money tangerines over to the greenhouse?"

Aunt Chen said uneasyly: "It's me! I saw that there was an open space over there, so I let someone put it there. Or I would move them somewhere else..."

"No need!" Lao An said in a daunting manner, "There is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no one to defend against a thief. It will rain if the mother wants to marry, so just let her go."

Aunt Chen didn't dare to say anything, but she reminded Gu Xi again in private.

Gu Xi achieved the goal, pursed her mouth and smiled, went to see Lao An, and asked Lao An to accompany him.

The old Anren laughed and said, "What does this have to do with you? It's just that the old lady didn't like the excitement very much, and family members rarely go to that place. Since you can talk, you can talk to her with her. Ok."

Gu Xi responded, but never set foot in the greenhouse ever since.

Lao An nodded secretly, and said to the second wife: "It's also a sensible person."

The second wife followed Lao An's words and laughed: "Their family is also very complicated, and they must have experienced many of these things since childhood."

Lao An sighed and said nothing more.

This word somehow reached Gu Xi's ears, and there was a slight smile between her eyebrows and eyes.

He Xiang was puzzled, and said, "Is this all right?"

"That's all right." Gu Xi said, "What the Pei family lacks now is the clan wife, a daughter-in-law who is obedient and capable of housekeeping. It is enough to leave this impression on Lao An. The rest is my brother's business."

After a few days of heavy snow, the sky cleared, and people's moods became brighter.

The young ladies of Pei's family couldn't sit still, and ran to Meilin to enjoy the snow and plum together.

This time I didn't write poetry, but replaced wine with tea, sitting in a warm pavilion to order.

Yu Tang remembered the last misunderstanding, and came out this time wearing the cloak sent by Pei Yan.

Although Lao An didn't say anything, he felt that Yu Tang was very beautifully dressed like this, and he was very happy to see Yu Tang's eyes.

Gu Xi sneered in her heart.

New guests were welcomed in the other courtyard.

Mrs. Yi's wife, the grandmother of Miss Er and Miss III.

The second lady hid in the house and didn't want to see anyone.

Miss Fourth and Miss Fifth whispered beside Yu Tang, "Is the person who is looking at each other about to go up the mountain?"

"Why don't you see it in the temple? That's how it is done in the play?"

"It's such a cold day. Go to the temple. What if you catch a cold?"

"Then wait until spring to see each other! Second sister is so beautiful, who can't marry anyone!"

"You are talking nonsense again." The fourth young lady said, "Even if the second elder sister wants to marry, it will have to be seen by others. I heard my grandmother say that the son of that family will enter Beijing to participate in the competition next year, not waiting for the Chinese New Year. We have to set off to Beijing, and we have to make a marriage contract now."

Miss Fifth curled her lips, disapproving: "If their family really wanted to marry the second elder sister, what had they done earlier?"

"Why do you always stand up against me?" The fourth lady said unhappily, "I used to follow my father and brother in office, and they just came back to their hometown. If it wasn't for the blind date with the second sister, I would go directly to the capital."

go back home? Is that the son of someone nearby?

I don't know who is the blind date with the second lady?

Yu Tang was very curious.
