Houfu Songhe Hall.

The eldest lady and the little Wei, with her daughter Gu Mei, accompany the old lady Wei to speak.

The old lady Wei asked casually, Did Gu Yue and Gu Jiu have a lot of trouble in the flower hall today?

Gu Mei shook her head slightly, Reporting to the old lady, it's not that great.

Talk to the old man.

Gu Mei hesitated.

The eldest lady and the little Wei Shi nodded at her, If you have anything to say, don't worry.

Gu Mei responded, and then said, Sister Gu Yue probably wanted to smear Gu Jiu's nickname as a sick child, but she didn't expect that Gu Jiu not only took the initiative to confess, but also took the opportunity to tease her with her broken mouth. Brain. Sister Gu Yue lost her face, but she was persuaded by sister Gu Shan.

The eldest lady and the little Wei frowned, I didn't expect that on the second day after returning to Beijing, the girls in the next mansion started to make trouble. It seems that those girls are very conflicted.

The old lady Wei Shi smiled, Girl Gu Jiu is smart and adaptable.

The eldest lady and the little Wei nodded, I really didn't see it at first. Gu Yue looks smart and powerful, but it's not as good as Gu Jiu. Of those girls, compared to the rough ones, Gu Jiu is better. It's just a pity that his body is weak. it is good.

Gu Mei hurriedly said, Sister Gu Jiu said that her health has gotten better. She has been taking less medicine recently.

That's good. Looking at Gu Jiu's complexion today, it really doesn't look like the sick seedling in the rumors.

The eldest lady and the little Mrs. Wei looked at the old Mrs. Wei again, Old lady, do you want to do the things that Brother Xie entrusted us with?

The old lady Wei said, Let's do it. I have already promised her that I want to watch the marriage for Gu Yuexiang, so it doesn't count if you can't talk.

The eldest lady and the little Wei frowned, It's just Gu Yue's temper, so it's not easy to get along with. She has to be strong and not tolerated. Her marriage is hard to say. Blame me for being a matchmaker.

On the other hand, Gu Jiu, as long as she is healthy, it is not difficult to talk to her about a good marriage. That's a smart kid. People like us like a smart and skilled girl like her.

The old lady Wei Shi nodded again and again, Now it seems that this child Gu Jiu has the ability to be a young grandmother.

It's a pity that the Xie family never gave Gu Jiu a chance to exercise. Gu Jiu has never been a steward.

I have to take the time to talk to Zhili,

Several of his girls are all grown up, and they should learn to be stewards.

In a family like ours, girls can't be scumbags.

The old lady is right, the daughter-in-law thinks the same way. I should think of a way to mention my brother and sister Xie. Gu Jiu is also her daughter in name. If Gu Jiu can marry a good family, she must help her brothers in the family. sisters.

The old lady Wei Shi laughed, Xie Shi doesn't look like such a generous person.

The old lady and Xiao Wei discussed these topics without avoiding Gu Mei. In fact, this is training Gu Mei.

Gu Mei's marriage is about to be decided, and there will be at most half a year to a year before she will get married.

So the old lady and Xiao Wei took the time to exercise Gu Mei.

Learn a little more about the world at her mother's house, and when you encounter things at your husband's house, you won't be in a hurry and you will be able to deal with it calmly.

The old lady Wei said to the eldest lady and the little Wei again: Gu Yue's marriage, you have to be more attentive. Help as much as you can. You have already agreed to Xie's, so it's hard to go back.

The eldest lady and the little Wei Shi were a little embarrassed, Gu Yue's temper is not easy to find a marriage relationship.

The old lady Wei Shi said: The capital is so big, you can always find suitable people. In any case, you have to come up with a few candidates, at least let people know that our Houfu has done its best.

The eldest lady and the little Wei nodded, I listen to the old lady. What about Gu Zhen's marriage?

Just the concubine young master of Haixi Bo's house, look for opportunities to see each other, it's not suitable to look for others.

The old lady Wei made a final decision, and Xiao Wei made up her mind.

It was already late, Xiao Wei and Gu Mei said goodbye to the old lady and left Songhe Hall.

The mother and daughter returned to the big room.

The eldest lady and the little Wei said to Gu Mei: In the future, you should stay away from the girl from the Gu Mansion next door, especially that Gu Yue and that Gu Zhen. These two children...

The rest of the words, Xiao Wei did not say anything. But looking at her expression, she also knew that Little Wei was very dissatisfied with Gu Yue and Gu Zhen. The performance of these two girls is really indescribable.

Gu Mei nodded in response, I listen to my mother. Then sister Gu Jiu, should you also avoid it?

Xiao Wei asked, Tell me carefully what kind of person Gu Jiu is.

Gu Mei explained the experiences of the day in detail.

Little Wei nodded secretly, It's a smart child, it doesn't matter if she comes and goes. But she's at home, with her stepmother Xie looking after her, so she's definitely not that comfortable. It's not easy to go out. I'll meet you in the future. Take care of her more.

My daughter understands.

Xiao Wei let out a sigh of relief, It's a pity Brother Su, such a good person, left early. If she were alive, she would be very happy to see her daughter grow up so big.

Gu Mei asked curiously, What kind of person is Sister Gu Jiu's biological mother?

Xiao Wei thought about it and said, She is a good woman.

The three words of a good woman have said Su Shi's life.

When she was at her parents' home, Su was a good daughter. After getting married, she is a good wife. After having children, she is a good mother.

It's a pity that his lifespan is limited, so he left early.

Gu Mei asked again, Mother, is there anything strange about the death of Aunt Su?

Xiao Wei frowned, There shouldn't be anything strange. When she was a few months pregnant, Xie was pregnant with her. When I went to see her, she was depressed, and she didn't want to start really. In fact, when Xie gave birth to Gu Ting When you were at the time, your Aunt Su was a little lost.

Later Xie became pregnant again, which aggravated her condition.

At that time, something happened to the Su family, and she couldn't help, and the child was born prematurely.

You know what happened next. The Su family fell, and the Xie family's eldest brother became an official in the East Palace, watching the Xie family become richer day by day. After all, it's life.

Gu Mei said: Sister Gu Jiu is also very lucky, and she can grow up safely.

Who said no. When I knew that their family was going to the northwest, I was worried that Gu Jiu wouldn't be able to raise a child.

The mother and daughter chatted for a long time. That night, Gu Mei stayed in the upper room, and the mother and daughter rarely slept together.

...

In the morning, Gu Jiu got up.

After washing up, as soon as I went out, I felt a biting cold wind.

It rained last night and the temperature plummeted.

Winter in Beijing has finally arrived.

Qingmei quickly put the cloak on Gu Jiu.

Be careful of catching a cold, girl.

Gu Jiu tightened his cloak, raised his collar to block the cold wind blowing into his neck, and prepared to go to the Furong Court to greet Mrs. Xie.

Yesterday, she and Xie had such a big conflict, and today everything is calm.

Do what should be done, and nothing will change because of yesterday's conflict.

After all, in the mansion, Gu Jiu will not evade what Gu Jiu should do.

After all, Mrs. Xie was the wife and mistress of the house.

Gu Jiu will follow the rules, at least on the surface, people can't make mistakes. She won't let anyone get caught.

Gu Jiu went out with the maids, and as soon as she walked outside the courtyard, she saw Guo Taohua, who was working in the Furong Courtyard, hurried over.

Guo Taohua ran in front of Gu Jiu, The slave maid greets the second girl. The wife ordered the slave maid to inform the second girl that there is no need to greet the second girl this morning.

Gu Jiu asked, Is your wife ill?

Guo Taohua hurriedly said, My wife is not sick. The servant heard that my wife received a post from Xie's family and will be a guest at Xie's family today.

Gu Jiu asked curiously, When did the Xie family send the post?

Guo Taohua answered honestly: The post sent by the Xie family yesterday, when the wife and the girls were drinking in the Hou Mansion.

Gu Jiu nodded in understanding, You've worked hard for a trip, I understand.

Guo Taohua hurriedly waved her hand, obviously not used to being complimented. She was a little nervous, It's what slaves should do. slaves, slaves...

Gu Jiu smiled softly, If you have anything to say, just say it.

Only then did Guo Taohua gather up the courage to ask boldly, This servant wants to ask Jiang Yan's whereabouts.

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, Didn't Jiang Yan tell you?

Guo Taohua shook her head.

Gu Jiu told Guo Taohua with the reasons prepared before: Jiang Yan is ill, and she signed a living contract, so she will be sent to the house. I don't know where she went.

Guo Taohua was very worried, Then she...

She has money on her body and is smart, so you don't have to worry about her.

Guo Taohua was comforted, Thank you, Second Lady.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, Go and do your work, I should also go back to my room to rest.

Gu Jiu returned to Zhilan Courtyard.

A charcoal pot was burned in the study, and the room was warm.

Gu Jiu took off his cape and sat at the desk, ready to practice calligraphy.

She asked Qingmei, Do you know where the cousin of the Su family lives?

Qingmei nodded, I know the address. It's just that I haven't had time in the past two days, and Er Zhuang hasn't had time to visit the young master of the Su family.

Gu Jiu said to Qingmei, When you're done working for a while, you can ask Er Zhuang to see the cousin of the Su family. Just say that my brother and I invited him to come as a guest.

Qingmei responded and went to the outer courtyard to ask Li Chuan to pass a message.

Back in the capital, everything else is good, the only bad thing is that going out has been greatly restricted.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, is in charge of the house and has a strict door.

Gu Jiu wanted to repeat the old tricks, bribing the back door woman and sneaking out through the back door, which was almost impossible.

Now, if you want to communicate with the outside world, you can only rely on Li Chuan, the servant next to Gu Jun, to spread the word. Work through Er Zhuang, who lives outside the mansion.

Er Zhuang did not follow Gu Jiu into the house.

Gu Jiu asked Er Zhuang to rent a house in the capital, live there first, and then make plans for the next step after understanding all aspects of the capital.

Gu Jiu secretly sighed.

Talent, talent.

What is lacking most in this age is loyal and reliable talents.

There are very few people who can trust Gu Jiu and leave things to them.

A few maids around him are suitable.

It's a pity that a few maids can't easily leave the house, let alone do things for her outside.

Gu Jiu wrote five pages in one breath, and she was quite satisfied.

Ome came back from outside, with the cold air of winter.

Seeing her, Gu Jiu asked, Is it raining again?

Qingmei nodded, There is a little drizzle, I don't know if it will be big.

Gu Jiu said, On a rainy day, I wonder if my wife will be a guest at Xie's house at another time.

Qingmei said: When the slave servant came back from the outer courtyard, he saw his wife's carriage leaving the house. The third girl, the fourth girl, the sixth young master, and the eighth young master all followed.

Gu Jiu smiled in understanding.

At this time, Wang Yi came in with a cup of warm tea, Girl, drink tea.

Gu Jiu looked at Wang Yi, and suddenly asked curiously, Can you fly up to the roof?

Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, and didn't seem to react. Then she waved her hands again and again, Slaves don't have that ability. Slaves are very good at playing sticks, but they can't climb as high as the roof. But ordinary courtyard walls can't beat slaves.

It turns out that there is no light work!

Gu Jiu was a little disappointed.

She remembered the Liu Gongzi whom she met in the northwest. Without moving, the boat rushed out like an arrow and ran unimpeded in the lotus pond.

It seems that Wang Yi's force value is not of the same order as that of Liu Gongzi.

Gu Jiu asked Wang Yi again, Are you still used to it when you arrive in the capital?

Wang Yi nodded again and again, I can eat enough every day, slaves are very used to it.

Gu Jiu laughed, Just get used to it. If you don't understand anything, just ask Qingmei, Qingzhu, and Xiaocui. If you have any difficulties, feel free to bring them up.

The slaves have no difficulty. The slaves' parents and elder brothers are gone, and the slaves are the only one left in the family.

This topic is a bit heavy.

Gu Jiu cared a few more words, and let Wang Yizi go to work.

Gu Jiu sat in the study, wrote and painted, and read books. The day passed quickly.

This is the third day back to Beijing.

The first two days have been a lot of jumping around, either this or that.

Nothing happened today, and I passed it peacefully, which was surprising and a little uncomfortable.

Qingmei came in with some snacks and said with a smile, Don't wait for something to happen, girl. It's rare to be quiet, so let everyone have a good time this year.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, I just said it casually.

Qingmei put the dessert on the table and said, My servant heard from Xiao Cui that my wife just entered the second door.

Is your wife back?

Qingmei nodded, I'm back. I heard from Xiao Cui that the clothes that the sixth master was wearing were different from the clothes he wore in the morning. They should have been changed. Xiao Cui also said that the sixth master was indifferent when talking to his wife. .

Huh?

Gu Jiu was curious.

Xiao Cui went to see the second door?

Qingmei smiled, nodded and said, Xiaocui knows that the girl cares about her wife. As soon as she heard that her wife is back, she ran to the two to guard her. She just came back and said a few words, and then ran out again. She said yes. Furongyuan is looking for those little maids to eat snacks together.

Gu Jiu laughed, Now Xiao Cui is a veritable inquisitor.

Qingmei sighed, I used to think that Xiaocui was stupid and had no brains. I really didn't expect that she could still do bag inquiries and do it so well.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, Xiao Cui's talent and skills are probably all about inquiring about news. In terms of serving people, it's really not that good, that's why people used to think that Xiao Cui was stupid.

...

A few days later, there were rumors in the mansion that the Xie and Gu families were going to marry.

Hearing this rumor, Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment.

Xie Gu two married? impossible.

When he was in the northwest, Master Gu had already made it clear that he would not marry the Xie family.

Why is it now rumored that the Xie and Gu families are getting married?

It feels weird.

Gu Jiu was wondering where the rumors came from, when Xiao Cui came in to report.

Miss Qiqi, Mrs. Xie brought Miss Xie's young master to visit the mansion. Madam asked everyone to visit the Furong Courtyard.

Gu Jiu blinked and asked Xiao Cui, Are you sure it's the eldest wife of the Xie family?

Xiaocui nodded, It's absolutely true. The slave saw with her own eyes that Mrs. Xie brought the young master of the Xie family into the Furong Courtyard.

strangeness.

Master Gu made it clear that he wanted to turn against the Xie family.

But seeing the situation now, the Xie and Gu families are clearly communicating normally.

A few days ago, Mr. Xie went to Xie's house as a guest.

Today, Mrs. Xie brought someone to the door.

Could it be that Master Gu has changed his mind and wants to continue to be friendly with the Xie family?

With doubts, Gu Jiu came to the Furong Courtyard.

When they were about to reach the courtyard gate, they met Gu Zhen and Gu Lin who came.

I heard that Mrs. Xie is here. Gu Zhen was very curious.

Gu Lin secretly pouted, her eyes contemptuous.

Gu Jiu said, Let's go in. It's not good to keep the guests waiting too long.

Second sister is right.

Walking into the Furong Courtyard, I heard bursts of laughter coming from the main room.

Chun He raised the curtain and walked out of the main room, Miss eldest, maiden 2, maiden 5, you have come, my wife has been waiting for you for a long time. The three girls, please come in.

Sister Chunhe has worked hard.

Gu Jiu stepped forward and held Chun He's hand. A small purse was placed in Chun He's hand.

With a smile on his face, Chunhe quietly accepted the purse.

It's not hard work for slaves, it's what slaves should do. Second girl, come in quickly.

Master didn't come here? Gu Jiu asked with deep meaning.

Chun He said: Master went to the Ministry of Officials. I heard that I will have a drink with some master classmates at night.

It turned out that Master Gu was not in the mansion.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, Thank you, Sister Chunhe.

The second girl killed the slave and maid.

Gu Jiu let go of Chun He's hand and walked into the main room first.
