After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Gu Rou also heard what Liu said. She glanced at Gu Jin and secretly curled the corners of her lips.

Liu loved her youngest daughter the most. In her heart, Bai Yiyi, her granddaughter, was much closer to her than all of them. Gu Jin was afraid that he would bleed heavily today.

"Aunt, cousin Yiyi, you are finally back." Gu Rou drew aside the curtain, a few tears welling up in her eyes at just the right moment, vividly portraying the joy of reuniting with relatives after a long separation mixed with heartache and regret for their circumstances.

Gu Jin cheered secretly in his heart. Gu Rou's instantaneous change in expression could definitely be included in an acting textbook.

Bai Yiyi, dressed in plain clothes, stood up to greet them. She had only lightly applied powder and applied light makeup, with her brows lightly slender. The slightly red eyes and nose made her look more delicate. Her slender figure was like a willow swaying in the wind, which would inadvertently move people's hearts of pity and love.

"Yiyi meets my two cousins." Bai Yiyi held Gu Rou's hand and knelt down to greet her, but her eyes passed over her and fell on Gu Jin who was walking behind her.

What a bright and charming face of a beauty!

Bai Yiyi was secretly surprised. The last time she saw Gu Jin was seven years ago. She didn't expect that after not seeing her for a few years, her cousin had grown up to be so beautiful. No wonder people said that General Xie was so gentle to her.

"My aunt and cousin had a hard time traveling all the way.

My husband asked me to bring some sea cucumbers and bird's nests. My aunt and cousin are so thin, they need to be nourished." Gu Rou smiled softly, and at the same time showed Xie Qing's appreciation for her without making a sound.

After hearing this, Liu's face was full of smiles, and she felt that Gu Rou made her proud.

Baozhu and Yiyi are her dearest ones, and no one is allowed to treat them badly as long as she is around.

Gu Baozhu also said to Gu Rou in a gentle tone: "You have been considerate and sensible since you were young. Now that you have grown up, you are more and more like a great man. No wonder Master Xie values ​​you. When Master Xie inherits the title in the future, you will be able to manage the Marquis' Mansion in an orderly manner."

Gu Rou lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly, "Aunt, my husband is not the only legitimate son of my father-in-law. Please don't say such things again in the future, or someone will hear it."

Gu Baozhu disagreed, "In terms of the eldest son, the position of the Yongchang Marquis should belong to the eldest son. This is a well-known fact. Who dares to say it is not the case?"

When Gu Baozhu said this, she glanced at Gu Jin intentionally or unintentionally.

Gu Baozhu had always been at odds with Gu Jin's mother, Zhao. She looked down on Zhao's commoner background, and even more so on her own brother's excessive doting on his wife. Therefore, she had no good feelings towards her niece, Gu Jin.

Gu Rou curved her lips and said to Gu Jin with a smile: "Big sister has been talking about my aunt and cousin Yiyi just now, I wonder what kind of gifts you have prepared?

My sister owns so many shops, so I think she must be much more thoughtful than me."

She saw clearly just now that Gu Jin and her maid came out of the Marquis' Mansion empty-handed.

Grandma will never let Gu Jin have an easy time!

Liu and Gu Baozhu both looked at Gu Jin. Gu Jin sighed deeply and looked pitiful. "Second sister, you are joking again. When big brother inherits Yongchang Marquis Mansion, the entire mansion will belong to you and big brother. My husband and I will have to rely on you two in the future.

If we talk about a comfortable life, it has to be you, my second sister."

Gu Rou felt very comfortable hearing this.

After a pause, Gu Jin continued in a gentle voice, "My husband also often reminds me to be respectful to my elder brother and second sister, and not to embarrass you in public, let alone steal your limelight.

I didn't know what gifts my second sister had prepared for my aunt and cousin, so I didn't dare to make the decision on my own. Now that I know, I will definitely make up for it according to the rules when I return."

What she meant was that the gift from Gu Jin could never be better than what Gu Rou gave her, and given the way Gu Baozhu bossed her around, she would pretend to have a bad memory and completely forget about it when she got back.

Not to mention bird's nest, I won't even give her a single bird feather!

Several people were speechless because of Gu Jin's silence, especially Gu Baozhu who had just vowed that Xie Qing would inherit the title, and now they could not find any fault with Gu Jin.

"Big sister, what you said is too distant. My aunt and I are blood relatives, so there is no need for all these false formalities." No wonder Gu Jin was so sweet today, it turned out that he had bad intentions!

“What my second sister said is that of course we are one family and we are inseparable.

Just like this bird's nest, although it is placed in the storeroom of the Marquis' Mansion, it was actually sent by the Su family's uncle specifically for my mother to recuperate, but it is also very good for my second sister to use it for my aunt and cousin to recuperate. "

Gu Jin smiled gently, her bright eyes full of innocence, as if she was not aware that her words had put everyone in the room in an awkward position.

Gu Rou felt her cheeks burning. She was indeed reluctant to use her own private money, but she had no idea that the things she took from the Marquis' Mansion turned out to be Su's.

Gu Baozhu's face was not looking good either. She had just been praising Gu Rou and talking to her, but Gu Rou turned around and gave her Su's things. Wouldn't this make her lose face in front of Gu Jin?

In the end, Li came out to laugh it off, "Jin'er and Rou'er are right, we are all family and the closest thing to each other, as long as we think of each other in our hearts, etiquette is not important."

Gu Baozhu pulled the corner of her mouth, her tone not as intimate as before, "Second sister-in-law is right."

Gu Jin nodded and said in agreement, "Second Aunt is right.

We are all very happy that my aunt and cousin are coming back to Beijing this time, for the sake of family reunion, it is impossible that someone is asking for gifts from my aunt!"

Everyone: “…”Isn’t that you?

Gu Baozhu was so angry that her face turned blue, but Gu Jin's sincere tone prevented her from getting angry. She could only grit her teeth and said, "Even if I know you guys miss me, how can I, as an aunt, forget my nephews and nieces?"

So Gu Jin and Gu Rou each got a pair of gold bracelets with old-fashioned patterns.

Gu Rou's standards have now become higher, so she naturally looks down on this pair of outdated bracelets, but Gu Jin's eyes are still bright and he happily accepted them.

No matter whether it is new or old, it will all be good gold after being refined.

"Jin'er." Liu said solemnly with a stern face, "Your cousin has just arrived in the capital and is unfamiliar with the place. Tomorrow you can take her to your Jinyu Pavilion to choose some jewelry."

Liu was very dissatisfied with Gu Jin's performance today, so her tone was very tough and she didn't show any intention of negotiation.

Gu Jin kept smiling and nodded obediently, "Okay, I have nothing to do on weekdays anyway, so it's best for me to go shopping with my cousin."

Liu was surprised that Gu Jin was so easy to talk to, and then she said to Bai Yiyi earnestly, "But you must not learn from your second sister. She actually went to Jinyu Pavilion to buy jewelry without telling me, and she refused to give me a discount even if I asked her to.

My husband praised my second sister for being the daughter of a noble family, unlike those who only knew how to take advantage of others and were greedy.

But you said that we are sisters from the same mansion, how can you let my second sister spend the same price as others! "

Gu Rou: “…” This damn past hurt her again.
