The person who came was Madam Du, who was beside Mrs. Hou.

With a smile on her face, Madam Du entered the flower hall to greet the eldest Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Xie.

He continued: As soon as my wife returned to the mansion, I heard that Miss Xiaojiu kept the kitchen in good order, and the guests were very satisfied with the flowing water table and were very happy.

No, I specially sent slaves here to thank Miss Xiaojiu first.

My wife said that it was too late today to prepare. Tomorrow, I will send a gift to Miss Xiaojiu, Miss Zhen, and Miss Shan each. You have all worked hard these days.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, smiled, first glanced at Mrs. Xie, and then said, Sister-in-law in the lobby is too polite. Xiao Jiu, hurry up and thank you.

Gu Jiu stepped forward, I also asked Mammy to thank Aunt Hall on my behalf. I just did what I was supposed to do, and I couldn't afford to be so concerned by Aunt Hall, and I even made Mammy take a hard walk. Mammy must drink tea. go.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, nodded again and again, Mother Du is drinking tea.

The maid served tea, and Mammy Du sat down to talk.

She said, Miss Xiaojiu is modest. My wife has already said that, thanks to your decisiveness, the Hou Mansion did not lose face in front of the guests. My wife also said that Miss Mei has to learn from Miss Xiaojiu, and don't stick to formalities in everything. , don't hesitate when it's time to change.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, looked at Mrs. Xie with a half-smiling smile, It's the sister-in-law in the lobby who has insight, brother and sister, what do you think?

Xie Shi was so embarrassed that he could not wait to find a crack to burrow in.

He had just said that Gu Jiu had lost the face of the Hou Mansion, but as a result, the head of the Hou Mansion sent someone to thank Gu Jiu.

Isn't this a slap in the face?

Xie's face was ugly, and her tone was impatient, and she said, The sister-in-law in the lobby is naturally reasonable. I'm tired, so I'll go back to my room to rest first. Here, the hard-working sister-in-law will greet you on your behalf.

After speaking, Mr. Xie didn't care what others thought, and left.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, raised her eyebrows and smiled, shook her head, and said with Mammy Du, Drinking tea, Mammy. The second wife is also getting old. After working hard in the palace for a few days, she should have a good rest. Please don't take offense, Mammy.

Madam Du smiled knowingly and said, The eldest madam has worked hard for a few days, so she should rest early and take care of her health. The slave girl has to go back to resume her life, so she will leave first.

Mammy, sit down for a while.

No,

My wife is still waiting for the slave to return to her life. I'll come back to harass another day when I have time.

Shaoyao, send it to Mammy.

Shaoyao took the order and sent Madam Du away.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, said to Gu Jiu, Xiao Jiu, you know your wife's temper. Don't take her words to heart.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and said, Don't worry, auntie, I am a person who wants to be open and won't take what my wife said to heart.

That's good.

Gu Jiu bid farewell to the Zhang family and returned to Zhilan Courtyard to rest.

Madam Du returned to the Hou Mansion and met with the eldest lady and the little Wei family.

Miss Xiaojiu was extremely polite, and told the servants to thank the madam on her behalf.

The eldest lady, Xiao Wei nodded, Xiao Jiu, this child, has never made a mistake in the rules. I heard that she was in the palace for a few days, and she also learned the palace rules from the mama, and now the etiquette is more and more thoughtful.

Madam said yes. But the second wife in the mansion next door looked unhappy. It seems that before the slaves went, the second wife was scolding Miss Xiaojiu, blaming Miss Xiaojiu for making an assertion and losing Hou's mansion and Gu. the face of the government.

The eldest lady and Xiao Wei sneered, Brother Xie is worried that Xiao Jiu will lose the face of the Hou Mansion, she is clearly worried that our Hou Mansion will blame her, and she will be implicated, and she is anxious to clear the relationship.

That person, Mrs. Ben really doesn't like her, she's too petty, she likes to be smart, and she always says something out of place.

Madam Du said, She was originally a concubine, so naturally she can't be too demanding.

The eldest lady and the little Wei snorted coldly, Fortunately, this lady doesn't have to be a concubine with the Xie family. It's just that the younger brother and sister Zhang suffers. I face the Xie family all day long, and I'm afraid that I will be angry once every three days.

Madam Du said: Mrs. is absolutely right. Fortunately, the second wife has cut off contact with the Xie family. It's less but a lot of trouble.

The eldest lady and the little Wei sneered and said, If the Xie family doesn't cut off contact with the Xie family, the Hou family will have to force her to cut off the relationship with the Xie family. Gu Zhili did a reliable thing anyway, and put the Xie family down. Detain her at home, don't let her contact the Xie family, and prevent her from being a demon with the Xie family.

Mammy Du said, I just wronged Miss Xiaojiu. Fortunately, Miss Xiaojiu's marriage has been settled. My servant also heard that the dowry of girl Xiaojiu, Master Gu personally sent someone to buy it, and the second wife didn't let the second wife intervene.

When the eldest lady and the little Wei Shi heard the words, she laughed, Gu Zhili has become more and more clear about his life, which is really rare.

If he lived so clearly when he was young, he wouldn't be able to do the absurd things of concubine righting.

He was short-sighted, seeing Xie Mao as an official in the East Palace, he couldn't wait to straighten Xie.

As a result, he shot himself in the foot and was almost killed by Xie Mao. I hope he learns his lesson and doesn't do similar stupid things again.

Mr. Xie, who was discussed by the two masters and servants of Xiaowei, would lose his temper in the room.

What does Mrs. Houfu mean? Do you think I'm not pleasing to the eye? As soon as I returned to the mansion, she sent someone over impatiently, and said she was thankful to Gu Jiu. She was slapping me in the face.

Xie Shi was so angry that his expression was distorted, he picked up the teacup and slammed it on the ground.

Chun He hurriedly persuaded: Madam, calm down. Madam Hou's mansion should have no other intentions, just send someone over to say thank you.

Xie sneered, and then scolded Chun He sharply, Nonsense. Do you really think the eldest lady can't guess what happened in our house?

Do you really think she sent Mammy Du here just to say thank you?

She simply sent Mammy Du to slap me in the face. She knew that I was going to teach Gu Jiu a lesson, so she deliberately sent someone over to bring me down. Really deceiving.

Xie Shi was so angry that he couldn't say anything, and cursed a few words fiercely.

Chun He was nervous and hurried to the door to take a look. Fortunately no one.

If the swearing just now reached the ears of Mrs. Houfu, it would be a big trouble.

Madam, calm down first. It's already happened, and it's useless to think about it too much. I'm going to enter the palace before dawn tomorrow, the servants will go to get hot water, and my wife will rest early.

Xie Shi was tired of scolding, and slumped on the chair, his forehead twitching in pain.

On a trip to the palace, she suffered from a migraine.

Xie Shi rubbed his forehead, probably because he didn't rest well in the palace, his head hurts.

It's just that the pain is not very severe, but it is continuous, and there is no chance for people to breathe.

She was so uncomfortable, and her anger had not subsided, she was so irritable that she wanted to kill.

At this time, the little girl came in to report, Madam, the third girl is here.

What is she here for?

Xie Shi looked impatient.

The little maid flinched and said in a low voice, The third girl said that she has something important to report, and it's about Concubine Bai.

Hearing the words of Concubine Bai, Mrs. Xie immediately cheered up. The headache is gone, and the anger has been suppressed.

Let her in.

Gu Yue was invited into the room.

Daughter greets mother? Is mother better?

Xie waved his hand and asked Gu Yue to sit beside him.

You have a heart. Shan'er didn't come, but you came.

Gu Yue suppressed her displeasure and said, These days, my daughter didn't go to the Hou Mansion to help, just because she was thinking about her mother and wanted to guard the house for her.

Oh?

Xie Shi looked at Gu Yue again, and she had grown.

Gu Yue lowered her eyebrows in a pleasing manner, Mother has been tired all day, originally my daughter should not disturb her mother at this time, but she is afraid of delaying things. Qi told mother, the second sister invited two stable mothers for Bai Yiniang today. In the mansion, it's sneaky, and I don't know what to do.

Really? Xie's expression turned cold, staring at Gu Yue.

Gu Yue nodded, This is absolutely true. Mother can send someone to ask the concierge.

Mrs Xie gritted her teeth, Gu Jiu is so courageous that she even dares to invite Madam Wen on behalf of Concubine Bai in private. Concubine Bai saw Madam Wen, nothing happened, right?

Gu Yue shook her head.

Xie snorted coldly, Bai's slut, it seems that she can't sit still. If she stays safe, I will give her respect. But she wants to be a demon while I'm away, no wonder I'm rude to her.

Xie's mind was spinning with various thoughts.

The children in Aunt Bai's womb are all said to be boys.

How could Mrs Xie be happy to see Concubine Bai give birth to a child smoothly.

Bai Yiniang was already arrogant, if she had a son, wouldn't she be even more arrogant.

Gu Yue doesn't care about Concubine Bai, whether Concubine Bai has a son or not, she doesn't care.

What she cared about was Gu Jiu.

Mother, the second sister privately decides to ask for a stable mother for Concubine Bai. There must be something strange about this matter. My daughter thinks that the second sister should be strictly investigated.

Xie shi frowned, What are you checking her for?

No matter what the investigation is, my daughter thinks that this matter must not be left alone. Otherwise, next time, will the second sister want to stand up for Bai Yiniang and fight against her mother.

Mr. Xie nodded secretly, Gu Yue said something made sense.

I'll think about this matter again. Yue'er, you did a good job this time, and you have lived up to the years of careful training I have given you. If you can do things like this in the future, your mother will be satisfied.

Gu Yue suddenly burst into tears, and she wept silently, so pitiful that it was heartbreaking.

She said to Mrs. Xie: My mother's teachings are never forgotten by my daughter. In the past, my daughter was too self-willed and let down her mother's good intentions. From now on, my daughter will definitely make progress and dare not let her mother down again.

Silly boy, what do you say. You just need to remember that everything I do to you is for your own good.

Mrs Xie took out the handkerchief and wiped Gu Yue's tears in person.

Gu Yue nodded heavily and hugged Xie's waist tightly.

My daughter knows that the only person in the world who loves her daughter the most is her mother. In the past, her daughter was too self-willed and didn't know what to do, which made her sad again and again. The daughter regretted it, and it was too late for her to wake up. She made her worry so much for her daughter.

Good boy! It's nice of you to figure it out.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.

The two cried fiercely, and after crying, they both felt their feelings for each other deepened. It was like going back to the best time in the past.

Xie shi wiped away Gu Yue's tears and said, When I'm not in the mansion, you stare at Concubine Bai for me.

Gu Yue nodded, Don't worry, mother, my daughter will definitely stare at her.

Xie Shi laughed, I've wronged you these days, you should go back and rest first. I'll have a good talk with you for my mother another day.

Gu Yue bowed and left, obedient and well-behaved.

Xie's heart was comforted, Gu Yue was still saved.

In just a few days, I don't know what kind of stimulation Gu Yue has received, but he has grown so much.

Chun He was also congratulating Mrs. Xie, Congratulations, Madam, Mrs. Hexi, the third girl is finally sensible.

Xie Shi smiled, I hope she is really sensible.

Xie decided to investigate for a while to see Gu Yue's performance before drawing a conclusion.

In the next few days, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Zhang went out early and returned late, and their hands and feet trembled every day because of their exhaustion.

On the Hou residence side, Jia's funeral will take place seven days after his death.

On the day of the funeral, Jia's family came, and Gu Rui's body recovered.

Gu Rui went out to greet the Jia family in person, with a polite attitude, but less closeness.

The two families are very restrained, and do not want to make trouble on the day of the funeral and make people laugh.

The Jia family has no children, and no one throws the pot and holds the spirit. It was Gu Rui who carried the burden.

She was born to me, and died to be my ghost. I gave her the last ride, as it should be.

No one said anything to stop Gu Rui's move. It is said that Gu Rui and Jia have a deep relationship, but unfortunately Jia is not lucky.

Gu Jiu also went for a ride.

This is the end of Jia's life.

After the funeral was over, everyone was so tired that they lay in bed for two days.

Hou Fu sent a gift of thanks.

Gu Jiu, Gu Zhen, and Gu Shan, each one of the three.

The gift of thanks was very precious, four silks, four satins, and four cottons, as well as beaded jewelry.

Qingmei was very happy to see satin and cotton cloth.

I can make some new clothes for the girl. The girl seems to have grown taller during this time.

Really?

As soon as she heard that she had grown taller, Gu Jiu was more than happy.

When she first crossed over, what she resented most was her height and figure.

After nearly a year of nursing, the results are very significant.

Gu Jiu stretched out her chest and tucked her belly, somehow she had a little curvaceous beauty.

She called Wang Yi.

Among the maids, Wang Yi is the tallest, and it should be more than one meter seven.

Gu Jiu and Wang Yi were taller than back to back, and she was already above Wang Yi's ear.

Wow, does this prove that her height has grown from a dwarf to more than one meter six.

Qingzhu said: The girl has grown a lot taller this year. In the past, her clothes were all shorter.

Gu Jiu was delighted, and became interested, Qingmei, take out the clothes I wore when I was sick last year, I have to see how tall I have grown.

Qingmei pursed her lips and smiled, This slave will bring it to the girl. Fortunately, the clothes were not removed, and there are still a few pieces left.

Gu Jiu tried on a pair of trousers first, which were a lot shorter. The trousers reached the calf.

She tried last year's skirt again, which was also shorter.

Gu Jiu smiled with satisfaction.

It was not in vain that she worked so hard to recuperate her body, eating and drinking every day, plus supplements.

Hard work pays off, and finally has a satisfactory harvest.

Qingmei said: The girl will continue to grow taller. When making new clothes, she has to leave a few centimeters of curling edges. In this way, after growing taller, you only need to put the curling edges on, and it will fit.

Gu Jiu said to Qingmei, You make up your mind on this matter.

Qingzhu came in from outside and said, The girl's wedding dress should also be made as soon as possible. The slaves heard that the lady of the sewing room made the third girl's wedding dress. In this way, the sewing room has no time to make the wedding dress for the girl, and can only On our own.

Qingmei said: From the beginning, I didn't expect the sewing room to make the girl's wedding dress. Qingzhu, you have to put aside your errands. You need to work well. You and I will make the girl's wedding dress.

Qingzhu nodded in response, thinking of another thing, It takes a lot of gold thread to make a wedding dress, what should I do about this?

Ask the sewing room for it. Qingmei said to Gu Jiu again, Girl, the servants go to the sewing room and ask them for gold thread.

Gu Jiu said: Don't worry, say hello to the aunt beforehand, and let the aunt come forward to arrange it.

Qingmei thought for a while, The servant will go to Sister Shaoyao first. Sister Shaoyao's words are more effective.

Gu Jiu nodded, Go ahead. Have a good chat with Sister Shaoyao.

Shaoyao was supposed to accompany the eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, into the palace, but she had a cold and stuffy nose for the past two days, making it inconvenient to enter the palace, so she stayed in the palace. Someone else accompanies the eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, into the palace.

Qingmei found her and brought her a prescription.

This is what my girl ordered me to give to you. Try it out, the effect is very good.

Shaoyao hurriedly said: Thank you, the second girl for thinking about me. I was eating the old recipe left by the original doctor, and the effect was not very good. Your recipe, but it solved my problem in time. Otherwise, those old women should be behind the scenes. Talking about me, saying that I have a lot of things to do, and even a small wind chill has to ask a doctor, and I really think I am a deputy lady.

Don't worry about those bitches, their faces are disgusting.

Qingmei and Shaoyao chatted, and talked about the need for gold thread to make a wedding dress.

Shaoyao asked: The second lady is married to the emperor's grandson, and the gold thread on the wedding dress must not be missing, if it is missing, it will be shameless and will be laughed at.

The third girl's wedding dress needs about four or two gold threads. The second girl's wedding dress, at least eight taels of gold thread.

When my wife comes back, I will bring this up to my wife. Go back and tell the second girl, I will handle this for you.

Thank you, Sister Shaoyao.
