The woman who was talking to Gu Qingzhou was not from the He family, but He Mingxuan's sister-in-law, the "auntie" of the He family.

This woman's name is Xue Ying. Her husband died 20 years ago. Her parents' brothers were all defeated, and she might blackmail her dowry. Therefore, she took refuge with her sister and brother-in-law with a wealth of wealth.

He Mingxuan's wife is 18 years older than Xue Ying. The two sisters have a similar relationship, and they were not born from the same mother. Xue Ying was born by a concubine.

But Mrs. He was a cowardly person, and the younger sister defected to her. Her husband was born charitable, so he took in this little girl.

Xue Ying has lived here for twenty years.

During this period, she helped her sister and brother-in-law in housekeeping, and Yanran was the second hostess.

She is indispensable for any important occasion in the He family.

He Mingxuan trusts her very much, not to mention the original wife Xue Shi, even the eldest daughter-in-law who is now in charge, can't surpass this aunt.

Outsiders do not know.

"No, it's your cheongsam, is it Luo Wuniang's craftsmanship?" Gu Qingzhou smiled softly. She smiled a little big, so she looked a little coquettish.

The family members of the He family breathed a sigh of relief.

The eldest grandmother smiled and said, "Young madam, you really have good eyesight. This is Luo Wuniang's embroidery of broken branches and begonias."

"I look the same." Gu Qingzhou said.

Xue Ying's smile was even more gentle: "If the young lady likes it, I will give you a pair of shoes. It is also Luo Wuniang's craftsmanship. She never makes shoes, this is a rare pair."

That is to say, her relationship with Luo Wuniang was so good that Luo Wuniang gave her shoes in private.

Gu Qingzhou looked at her feet: "I'm afraid we're not the same size, so I won't take it for granted."

She smiled and changed the subject.

Xue Ying was also very measured, Yiyan stopped the conversation, and she didn't mention it again.

Gu Qingzhou spoke all the way to the main courtyard.

The stage of the He family has already been set up, and the pennants are full. The stage looks lively and luxurious, and the colors are prosperous.

On the stage at the moment, there are two martial students fighting against each other, but there is no clanging sound of gongs and drums around. In this way, it is lively and not too noisy.

Gu Qingzhou's seat was at the first table closest to the front row.

"The governor and his wife will also come today. Is this table arranged?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Last night, the commander-in-chief called Gu Qingzhou, and he wanted to come back in person.

The reason is very simple. He Mingxuan is not in charge of the commander-in-chief, and he cannot suppress the tumbling public opinion at the moment.

Nanjing and Yuecheng are close to each other. Originally, many politicians from Nanjing set up family businesses in Yuecheng. They came back on Friday and returned on Sunday night, which was very convenient.

"Yes, young lady." The eldest grandmother replied.

Gu Qingzhou nodded slightly: "Go ahead, I know there are a lot of guests today."

The female relatives of the He family said yes.

The aunt, Xue Ying, stayed and chatted with Gu Qingzhou: "Young Madam, I'll relieve your boredom so that you won't get tired of sitting alone."

She still doubted Gu Qingzhou's intention to look at her.

Gu Qingzhou smiled: "then there is work"

She doesn't seem to know what to call her.

Xue Ying hurriedly said: "Everyone in the He House calls me my aunt, my late husband's surname is Qi, I prefer to be called Mrs. Qi"

together?

Gu Qingzhou calmed down and said to Xue Ying with a smile: "Do as the locals do, and I'll teach your auntie too. Have you been a few years old in Yuecheng? Listening to your accent, Yanran is from Yuecheng."

"I've been living at my sister's house." Xue Ying smiled, "It's probably 12 or 13 years since our family moved to Yuecheng."

our home?

Gu Qingzhou looked at this aunt who could be the master of the house but could talk, wondering what Mrs. He's mood was like?

If it was Gu Qingzhou, she would never allow others to occupy her family like this.

"That's quite long." Gu Qingzhou smiled.

Xue Ying said: "Yes. Yuecheng is peaceful, we can take root, it is all given to us by the military government."

After all, she praised the military government.

Gu Qingzhou listened one after another, and when he heard something interesting, he nodded slightly and smiled, without showing any emotion.

After they said a few words, Mrs. Yan arrived.

Gu Qingzhou stood up: "Mom, are you here too?"

"How can I not come to such a happy day?" Mrs. Yan said with a smile.

Xue Ying also greeted Mrs. Yan.

Mrs. Yan's smile was warm and gentle. After listening to a few words, she suddenly asked, "Who are you?"

The eldest grandma of the He family next to her said a little embarrassedly, "This is my aunt."

Mrs. Yan glanced at Xue Ying, and said meaningfully: "Oh, it turns out to be the aunt of He Fu, but I heard about it."

After she finished speaking, she said to Xue Ying again, "You are really a clever person."

Mrs. Yan was very gentle, and her words didn't hurt her heart very much. Xue Ying was stunned. She had a ghost in her heart, so she naturally felt that others were accusing Sang and scolding Huai.

"Thank you Mrs. Yan." Xue Ying said, and then said to Gu Qingzhou, "Young madam, Mrs. Yan, I will go to entertain the guests first."

Gu Qingzhou glanced at her back.

Mrs. Yan asked Gu Qingzhou, "what are you looking at?"

"She has a phoenix blood jade bracelet on her wrist, which seems to be very valuable." Gu Qingzhou said.

Mrs. Yan laughed: "Are you still greedy for other people's jewelry? However, the pure natural phoenix blood jade is something you can't find, and I don't have it either, so I can't give it to you."

Gu Qingzhou smiled.

She already had an idea in her mind.

Xue Ying's face and Xue Ying's jade bracelet told Gu Qingzhou one thing.

Maybe, Gu Qingzhou can find her master soon.

She was meditating when laughter came from outside.

There was a commotion, and the guests stood up one after another.

Gu Qingzhou also stood up and took a few steps forward. What can cause such a sensation must be the arrival of the governor, and she also heard the laughter of the governor.

She stepped forward.

"Qingzhou arrived first?" When the commander-in-chief saw Gu Qingzhou, his light smile immediately turned into a kind deep smile, and he turned to He Mingxuan and said, "Don't say that you are crazy, Qingzhou's ingenuity and talent are rare in ancient times. If there is any difficulty, you can ask the young lady for advice."

Everyone took a deep breath.

Gu Qingzhou is very powerful. They know that Gu Qingzhou has won the hearts of the people. They also know that they even admire her for resolving the crisis in Yuecheng.

But it was unexpected for the guests to think so highly of her by the commander-in-chief.

For a time, everyone's attitude towards Gu Qingzhou became more and more respectful.

Mrs. Si, who was following behind the commander-in-chief, took a deep breath before holding back her face.

Si Fangfei and Si Qiongzhi followed behind the governor and his wife.

Si Qiongzhi turned her face away, but Si Fangfei didn't take care of Qingzhou, but she smiled softly and called out affectionately, "Second sister-in-law."

In front of the commander-in-chief, Si Fangfei respected Gu Qingzhou very much.

Gu Qingzhou's smile didn't change, he smiled and greeted her, and said, "Fang Fei, are you tired from the car all the way?"
