Shou'an Hall.

Today is a holiday, and it happens to be the day to pay respects to Mrs. Gu. The first, second and third bedrooms all arrived at Shou'an Hall at the same time.

At this time, Mrs. Gu was having breakfast, and the juniors wanted to show their filial piety by serving her breakfast, but she didn't want to do this. She felt that the juniors were making noise and affecting her meal, so she sent them to the hall to wait. .

It is a blessing for a daughter-in-law to have such a trouble-free mother-in-law. Some old ladies, even though they have a room full of maids, still ask their daughter-in-law to come over every day to wait on them when they get up, have meals, and set rules for their daughter-in-law. This is annoying. very.

As for their old lady, if you want to show your filial piety and try to please her, she will just say: "You were married as a wife, not a maid, so you don't need to do this kind of thing."

You thought that the elderly woman would definitely be lonely, so you went to greet her every day and talk to her to relieve her boredom. She disliked it so much that she said bluntly: "You guys come here early in the morning every day. I can't even sleep peacefully. It takes a long time." I’ll get up early to see you, and from now on I’ll just come over to say hello every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.”

Regarding this point, both Zhang and Chen, who had always felt that the old lady was partial to their own son, felt that their mother-in-law was very loving in this regard.

After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Gu came to the hall after breakfast, and the juniors paid their respects to Mrs. Gu one after another.

After everyone sat down, everyone in the first and second rooms looked at Gu Jingxi and his wife. They were the only couple here today. Gu Xiuming had been released from the ban, but there was no sign of them.

Mrs. Gu also noticed that her most beloved grandson was not here, and she couldn't help but feel disappointed. However, she was also a little numb when she thought of the ridiculous things Xiu Ming had done in the past few days.

At this moment, the little maid came in and reported: "Old madam, the prince is here."

Although she was disappointed with her grandson, she was still her grandson whom she had loved for many years. She had not seen him for more than a month. Mrs. Gu still missed her in her heart. She said in a gentle voice: "Go and invite the prince in."

After a while, everyone saw Gu Xiuming with a spring breeze on his face, and the delicate and timid girl walking beside him.

Everyone was stunned.

Li Waner was carried into the house on a small sedan the day before yesterday. She and Gu Xiuming were out of the house for a whole day yesterday and had not shown her face in front of anyone. When she saw her today, she subconsciously looked up at her to see if she could What kind of girl would it be that would cause Gu Xiuming to cause such a scandal as elopement.

I saw that she was wearing a light blue cloud and smoke gauze dress. She looked beautiful, elegant and graceful. She was two different types of beauty from Meng Jinyao's dazzling beauty. At this moment, she was walking timidly beside Gu Xiuming, her head slightly lowered and she didn't dare to When he looked up at people, he was greatly discouraged in everyone's mind.

I don’t understand why Gu Xiuming, as the heir apparent of the Hou Mansion, would find such a petty and unworthy girl. Meng Jinyao originally came to offer tea on the second day after her wedding, but she was still able to cope with it generously and without showing any timidity despite being under great pressure. He can still cope with crowds of people.

Gu Xiuming just picked up the fish eyes and lost the pearls.

The next moment, everyone realized another problem. Li Waner was a concubine. Why did the concubine come to join in the fun?

Mrs. Gu used to allow concubines to come to pay her respects, but ever since there was a time when Jing Sheng's concubines were jealous, made jokes, were inappropriate, made Mrs. Gu unhappy, and were reprimanded by Mrs. Gu, everyone tacitly agreed that they could not treat her like this. My concubine was brought here to say hello. Anyway, my concubine is not a serious daughter-in-law, so it doesn’t matter if she is not treated by the elders.

Since then, the two brothers Gu Jingsheng and Gu Jingsong have not allowed any concubines to come to Shou'an Hall to pay their respects to Mrs. Gu. The eldest grandson Gu Xiuyuan also has a concubine. After his wife Jiang entered the house, he took the maid of his wife as a concubine. He never showed his face in front of Mrs. Gu.

But now, Gu Xiuming has brought a concubine who is not worthy of publicity. I don't know if he is being arrogant or because he thinks that he is the heir apparent and his grandmother's most beloved grandson, so he will be an exception.

Gu Xiuming also noticed the subtle atmosphere, but he did not look away and respectfully greeted Mrs. Gu: "My grandson, please greet my grandma. Grandma Jin'an."

Li Waner was a little at a loss when she was looked at by so many pairs of eyes. When she saw Gu Xiuming saluting, she hurriedly saluted Mrs. Gu: "My granddaughter-in-law, please give my regards to my grandmother. Grandma Jin'an."

As soon as this statement came out, the atmosphere became even more subtle. What kind of granddaughter-in-law is this concubine? Only the main wife who is being married by the Ming Dynasty is a serious granddaughter-in-law. The concubines call themselves granddaughter-in-law. Fortunately, there are no guests present, otherwise it will be embarrassing and make people laugh.

Mrs. Gu frowned slightly, but she still gave her grandson face, and did not scold her in front of the whole family. She just ignored Li Waner and said warmly to her grandson: "Xiu Ming is here, stop standing, sit down and talk. "

Gu Xiuming was about to introduce his beloved girl to his elders, but seeing his grandmother's attitude, he did not dare to disobey her and moved to sit down below Meng Jinyao.

Li Wan'er also felt that her elders were deliberately ignoring her. Her face turned pale and her eyes were covered with mist. She followed Gu Xiuming timidly and sat down below him.

It was okay that she didn't sit down, but as soon as she sat down, everyone's eyes fell on her again, and that intriguing look made her feel on pins and needles.

The eldest and second bedroom members were not only looking at the joke, but also found it very confusing. Even though Meng Jinyao was the eldest daughter of a down-and-out family, she was still a dignified and decent daughter. However, Gu Xiuming didn't want Meng Jinyao. He wanted this unruly girl. I don't know. What did he think.

A concubine dared to sit on an equal footing with them. In the past, when the old lady allowed concubines to come to greet her, she always stood next to the main wife to wait on her after greeting her. How could she have the right to sit down? It's a blessing to be able to come and say hello.

Mrs. Gu didn't look very good when she saw this, but she still gave her grandson face. She didn't want to cause too much trouble and didn't reprimand him on the spot. She would talk to her grandson later.

Seeing her mother-in-law's ugly face, Mrs. Zhang knew that her mother-in-law didn't like Aunt Li, so she didn't have to worry about it. Her tone was gentle, but her words were sinister: "Is this Aunt Li? She's really good-looking, and I feel sorry for her. I like it, no wonder this kid Xiu Ming is so precious, he is just too informal."

As soon as these words came out, Li Waner's face turned pale. She could tell that this was not a compliment, but a mockery of how she used this face to confuse Brother Xiu Ming. As for the informality, she was a little confused. She had just entered the room and had not done anything yet. What have you been doing, why are you so informal?

Gu Xiuming's face changed. He felt heartbroken when he saw his sweetheart on the verge of tears and looking at him with a helpless expression. Just when he was about to speak for his sweetheart, he heard a "bang" and his heart skipped a beat. One shot.

This was the sound of the teacup being placed on the coffee table, and the fact that it was placed on the coffee table with increased force also indicated that the person who placed the teacup was unhappy.

He followed the sound and saw his father's face showing frost. His heart tightened and he swallowed the words that came to his lips. He did not dare to say a word and calmly held Li Waner's hand, comforting her silently.
