The next day is the fifteenth day, and according to the rules, I have to go to Shou'an Hall to pay my respects to Mrs. Gu.

Therefore, Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi got up earlier than usual. After all, they had to have breakfast in their yard earlier and then go over to say hello.

Old ladies in other families like to have their children and grandchildren around their knees and lively, but Mrs. Gu is famous for being quiet and does not like liveliness. She even skips breakfast with her juniors because she dislikes the fuss, unless it is a major festival.

Gu Jingxi waited for her to prepare things outside, and then ate together. When he saw the person coming out of the inner room, he was stunned for a moment, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He has always known that his little wife is a very good-looking girl, but she usually dresses in an old-fashioned way. She suppresses the beauty and beauty that a little girl should have, making her look stable and dignified, and she looks a few years older. , this is also due to Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Sun, who had ulterior motives in preparing such clothes for the little girl.

Today, for some unknown reason, I changed my appearance and dressed up.

The little girl was born beautiful, and she was even more beautiful when she was carefully dressed up. She had eyebrows on her temples and a face like a peach and plum. There were golden begonia beads inserted diagonally in her bun, which complemented the begonia flower between her eyebrows. She was dressed in begonia red. The skirt embroidered with spring flowers and branches with gold thread makes the whole person more bright and eye-catching.

Not only Gu Jingxi, but also Chun Liu and Xia Zhu who were waiting outside were stunned when they saw her.

Ningdong and Qingqiu felt a sense of accomplishment when they saw their reactions. They wanted to dress up the madam well, but conditions were limited. Mr. Sun was afraid that the madam would steal the second girl's limelight, so he would not give her nice clothes and jewelry. Yesterday afternoon, my wife went out and bought clothes and jewelry that suited her so that she could dress up properly.

Meng Jinyao was confident in her appearance, but seeing that Gu Jingxi, who was not a womanizer, looked at her a few more times, she became playful for a moment and couldn't help teasing: "Husband, why are you looking at me like this?"

Gu Jingxi looked away and said in a calm tone: "Madam usually dresses in an old-fashioned way, which is really not suitable for a little girl who is only twenty-eight years old. Now she looks like a little girl."

"I think so too." Meng Jinyao nodded in agreement. Because of this, she only bought something suitable for her when she had money. Then she asked with a smile, "Does it look good?"

Gu Jingxi nodded and replied honestly: "It looks good."

Meng Jinyao smiled with satisfaction and raised two fingers: "Two thousand taels."

"What two thousand taels?" Gu Jingxi had doubts in his eyes, not knowing why.

"I spent two thousand taels yesterday afternoon, all of which were your husband's money." Meng Jinyao said, walking to the seat opposite him, then sat down, turned around and told the maid to prepare the meal.

Gu Jingxi was stunned for a moment, then looked her up and down, and suddenly realized that the two thousand taels she mentioned should have been spent on clothes and jewelry, and she might have to buy a new batch of everything she wore.

In one afternoon, he spent two thousand taels of silver, like a gold-swallowing beast. In front of her, Xiu Ming, who usually had no idea about money, couldn't catch up. It seemed that raising a daughter was not easy. No wonder his colleagues were worried about the daughter. It's not easy to make a living, everything requires precision, and it costs a lot of money.

However, the little girl looked pretty dressed up like this, and the money was well spent. Looking at the little girl's pretty and bright appearance, he felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart, and he experienced the joy of raising a daughter with the little girl.

He smiled and said, "As long as the money is worth spending, so what if it's twenty thousand taels?"

Seeing that he had no objection, Meng Jinyao felt relieved and accepted his kindness with peace of mind. However, she was still quite touched in her heart. She looked at him blankly for two breaths and then lowered her eyes.

Except for her grandfather and grandfather, no one had ever treated her so willingly and spent money on her. Gu Jingxi was the first one.

It's really ridiculous to say that even her father, who has raised her for many years, has spent less than 2,000 taels on her in total over the years, while her husband, who has no relationship with her, actually gave her 30,000 taels. She controls herself.

If it weren't for the issue of identity, she would be perfectly willing to change her father immediately and become Gu Jingxi's daughter.

-

Shou'an Hall.

Everyone in the first and second rooms has arrived and is talking with Mrs. Gu.

Although Mrs. Gu is a legitimate mother, she is not as kind to her first and second wives as she is to her own sons, but she has never treated them harshly, and she is kind to her grandchildren and granddaughters who are not related to her by blood.

At this time, a maid came forward to report: "Old madam, the Marquis and his wife are here."

As soon as these words came out, the people in the first and second rooms all looked in the direction of the door. What happened yesterday caused a sensation in the entire Changxing Marquis Mansion. Even the people outside got the news and started talking about it. Now that the person involved is here, they are gossiping. The thought comes.

When they saw Meng Jinyao coming side by side with Gu Jingxi with a smile on her face, everyone was stunned for two reasons.

First, Meng Jinyao, the person in question, seemed to be in a very good mood.

Secondly, Meng Jinyao changed her mature and stable dressing style in the past. Today she is dressed in a delicate and bright style. As soon as she came in, she gave people a flamboyant and radiant look, which made people's eyes brighten.

In the past, they felt that Meng Jinyao was thirteen years younger than Gu Jingxi, and she deliberately dressed up a few years older to match Gu Jingxi. Today's behavior really confused them.

Meng Jinyao ignored their looks and walked up to Mrs. Gu as if nothing had happened. She respectfully bowed to her as a junior: "My daughter-in-law, please send my regards to my mother. She is well."

Mrs. Gu smiled brightly, looked at her lovingly, and joked: "Oh, my mother is old. I was far away and didn't see her clearly. I thought there was a fairy coming. Only when I looked closer did I realize it was Ayao."

Meng Jinyao responded with a smile: "Mom, don't praise me like that, I will be proud."

Mrs. Gu looked at the little girl with satisfaction, and said: "You usually dress too maturely and plainly, but now it's just right. Good little girl, don't dress yourself up for the sake of the third child. He is younger than you." If you are older, it’s your turn to let him go and dress younger to suit you.”

"Mother."

Meng Jinyao shouted, and then lowered her head pretending to be shy. It was not that she dressed up deliberately, but that the clothes her stepmother had prepared for her were just like this. She had no money to replace them with new ones, so she had to make do with them.

Mrs. Gu thought that she was young and thin-skinned, so she stopped talking and said warmly: "Okay, okay, mother, let's not talk anymore. Sit down and talk first."

The eldest lady Zhang looked at her carefully. She was dressed up carefully in the first place. Now her shy and timid appearance was even more attractive. She couldn't help but murmur in her heart: She was married to a woman who was dressed up and dressed up. Could it be that she was married? A useless husband, after being a widow for a few days, he couldn't bear the loneliness and wanted Hong Xing to cheat on him?
