Early in the morning, Gu Jiu and the maids went to the upper room to greet him.

When they were about to get to the gate of the upper house, they met Gu Zhen, Gu Yue and Gu Shan.

Big sister, third sister, fourth sister, it's such a coincidence.

Gu Jiu was the first to say hello.

Gu Zhen nodded slightly and asked, Second sister, are you in good health? As soon as I heard that you were going back to the capital, I was worried about the second sister's health.

What if the second sister fell ill before returning to the capital.

Gu Jiu smiled lightly, Eldest sister has a heart. Although my body is not as good as that of eldest sister, but I can survive to the capital, and it will not be a problem.

Gu Zhen laughed, That's great. In this way, I'm relieved.

Gu Shan also said: Looking at the second sister's complexion, it is indeed much better. Congratulations.

Thank you Fourth Sister for your concern.

Gu Jiu stepped forward, but stood in front of Gu Yue.

Gu Yue sternly asked, What are you doing?

Two days ago, Gu Yue ended the ban. Logically, she should be in a good mood, but when she saw Gu Jiu, no matter how good her mood was, it fell to the bottom.

She just doesn't like Gu Jiu, she just hates Gu Jiu.

reason?

Hate someone, do you need a reason?

Hate is hate, everything about this person is annoying. Her smile, what she said, how she dresses, everything about her is disgusting.

Gu Jiu smiled, stretched out her hand, and compared her height with Gu Yue.

In the past, Gu Yue was half a head taller than her. Now, the two are about the same height.

Gu Jiu was really satisfied with this result.

Sure enough, she has grown taller, and soon she will be taller than Gu Yue.

Third sister, we are about the same height. Gu Jiu was in a good mood and didn't care about Gu Yue's attitude.

Gu Yue was immediately upset.

She and Gu Jiu are only half a year apart. In the past, her height was firmly over Gu Jiu's head, but now they are almost the same height.

Don't you say,

She hasn't grown up in the past six months, but Gu Jiu has grown up.

Gu Yue snorted, What's the use of being almost tall, when the second sister is taller than me, let's show off.

Gu Jiu nodded, feeling very reasonable, The third sister is right. I have been growing my body recently, maybe I will be taller than the third sister by the time of the Chinese New Year.

Gu Yue hehe, You are dreaming. In just a few months, you want to be taller than me. Do you think I am not taller?

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled. The height of the child depends on the height of the parents, with some exceptions.

According to Gui Momo, Gu Jiu's biological mother, Su Shi, was a tall and beautiful woman. Mr. Xie stood in front of Mr. Su, not to mention a head shorter.

According to heredity, Gu Jiu is likely to be higher than Gu Yue.

And this trend is already showing.

Gu Jiu said to Gu Yue, We should have returned to the capital by the time of the Chinese New Year. Then we will join the sisters of Houfu to see who is taller.

Gu Yue said, Compared. I'm definitely taller than you.

If you want to grow taller, you have to eat more! Gu Jiu said with a smile.

Xie's physique is prone to obesity, and Gu Yue seems to have inherited this.

Gu Jiu was very happy to see a chubby Gu Yue during Chinese New Year.

Gu Jiu took Gu Yue into the ditch, um, there's nothing wrong.

Gu Yue gritted his teeth and looked unhappy. In my heart, I was thinking, can you really grow taller by eating more?

Gu Jiu almost caught up to her height in half a year. Could it be because she ate too much?

At this time, Gu Lin came.

When Gu Lin saw the four elder sisters, she felt a little flustered and hesitated.

Gu Zhen was the first to see her, fifth sister, you are here too. Come here, we are talking.

Gu Lin smiled, stepped forward, bowed slightly, I have seen the eldest sister, the second sister, the third sister, the fourth sister. Why don't you go in.

Gu Zhen held the handkerchief, covered her lips, and said with a smile: It's still early, it's good for everyone to stand here and talk.

Fifth sister, how is Concubine Bai? Gu Shan, who had been silent for a while, suddenly asked.

Gu Lin nodded, My aunt is fine. Last night, my father went to my aunt's place.

Gu Lin seems to be stating the facts, but in Gu Yue and Gu Shan's ears, she seems to be showing off.

Gu Yue glanced at Gu Lin, snorted, turned around and walked into the door of the upper courtyard.

Gu Shan smiled at Gu Lin, If Concubine Bai is fine, that's great. The fifth sister doesn't know, but my father specially told my mother to take good care of Concubine Bai.

My mother is already weak, and she has to work day and night. I am anxious for my mother. Fortunately, Concubine Bai was doing well, so my mother could relax a bit.

Gu Lin lowered her head, Thank you Fourth Sister for your concern.

Gu Shan smiled, I'll go in first. You guys continue to talk.

After speaking, Gu Shan also entered the door of the upper courtyard.

Gu Zhen said to Gu Lin: Fifth sister, what are you talking about when your father went to Bai Yiniang's place last night. Who didn't know Bai Yiniang was pregnant and was so proud that you even took it out to show off. Are you energetic?

Gu Lin is not afraid of Gu Zhen, they are all concubines, who is afraid of who.

Gu Lin stared at Gu Zhen, Big sister, what nonsense are you talking about. I'm not showing off, I'm just telling the truth. I'm not like a big sister who surrounds the third and fourth sisters all day.

Gu Zhen was annoyed, Gu Lin, did you talk to the eldest sister like this? I am the eldest sister, and I am friendly with the sisters. Is it wrong?

Gu Lin was speechless and opened her mouth, not knowing how to refute.

Gu Jiu, who had been silent all the time, opened her mouth and said, Big sister, fifth sister, you must have been enemies in your last life. You always have to argue a few words when you meet. Let's go in, but we can't let the wife wait for us.

Gu Zhen nodded, Second sister is right.

Gu Zhen held her head high and walked into the door of the upper courtyard first.

Gu Lin walked with Gu Jiu and secretly complained, Eldest sister is too domineering. Every time we meet, she always reprimands me. She is not just relying on her identity as the eldest sister. Second sister, you are obviously the direct descendant. It's too much for her to push you on the head.

Gu Jiu laughed and glanced at Gu Lin.

The little girl Gu Lin also learned to play tricks and provoke her relationship with Gu Zhen.

Gu Jiu only said: She is the eldest sister after all.

Gu Jiu refused to say any more.

Gu Lin felt very boring.

The second sister is not motivated at all, so she is the third sister, and she has to compete with the eldest sister no matter what. Let people know that among the sisters, who has the final say.

After entering the upper room, the five sisters sat in the flower hall one after another, waiting for Xie's arrival.

The wife is here!

As the woman at the door shouted, Mrs Xie appeared in the flower hall with her maid.

Everyone got up and said in unison:

Greetings to mother. These were the four sisters except Gu Jiu.

Pray for your wife. This was Gu Jiu.

Xie said with a light expression, Sit down.

Everyone sat down again.

Xie shi glanced at everyone, Second girl is here, you are a rare visitor.

Gu Jiu said with a smile, Thanks to my wife, my health is much better.

Xie Shi hummed, Just as long as you feel better.

After a pause, Xie continued: You should all know the news that you are going back to the capital. The time to leave is probably in the middle or late next month.

During this time, everything that should be cleaned up is cleaned up, and everything that should be dealt with has been dealt with.

The maid and old lady beside me, which ones should be brought back to the capital and which ones should be sent out. Within three days, the list will be handed over to Chunhe.

The crowd answered in unison.

Mr. Xie nodded and continued: The weather is getting colder gradually, and when I leave for Beijing, it will be cold. I have ordered the sewing room to hurry up and buy winter clothes for you.

If any of you have any difficulties, I will share them with you today, and I will also handle them for you.

No one was in a hurry to speak.

There was silence in the room for a while, Xie shi glanced at everyone and asked, Is there any difficulty?

Gu Jiu was the first to say, I have no trouble here.

Xie's expression was light, and she nodded slightly, Second girl, you have to take care of your body. You have to work hard on the road, but don't get sick halfway and delay your master's trip.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, Thank you, Mrs. for reminding me, I don't dare to delay my father's trip.

So good.

Xie Shi was deeply bored. Gu Jiu was like a tortoise shell. Whether it was sarcasm or sarcasm, Gu Jiu handled it calmly, which was really unpleasant.

Unhappy return unhappy, business has to continue.

Xie looked at the others again.

Gu Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, When I return to the capital, I will meet the sisters in the Hou residence. The sisters in the Hou residence, I don't remember very well, and I don't know what kind of meeting ceremony to prepare. I also ask the wife. teach me.

Xie shi smiled slightly, Girl Zhen is right, after returning to the capital, you have to come and go often with the sisters of the Hou residence.

This is the first time we meet, we have to prepare a greeting.

Not only to prepare gifts for the sisters of the Hou residence, but also to prepare gifts for the old ladies of the Hou residence, aunts and aunts.

In my opinion, the elders are ready for needlework. Sisters of the same generation, you can do whatever you want, needlework, calligraphy and painting, and interesting gadgets.

Gu Zhen laughed, Thank you for reminding my wife, my daughter understands.

Gu Yue asked again: Mother, how many sisters are there in the Hou Mansion, what are their names, and which one is the head of the house, my daughter still hasn't figured it out. You can talk to your daughter about it.

Xie Shi suddenly laughed, smiling lovingly.

If you don't ask about these things, I will tell you. The three heads of the Hou Mansion are all direct descendants.

The few masters who came out of the concubine have already split up, so you don't need to pay attention.

There are seven girls in this Hou Mansion. I let Chunhe prepare all the materials, and I will give them to you later.

You have to remember people, don't go to the Hou Mansion to admit the wrong person, and whoever has offended, I will not be polite then.

When Xie Shi said the end, his face was stern, and he looked extremely serious.

Gu Yue immediately said, Don't worry, mother, my daughter will never admit the wrong person and offend others. I also have to think carefully about the gift to the Houfu sisters. It should be sincere and interesting, which is not available in the capital. .

Gu Shan said: Since you want to choose what the capital does not have, the most suitable one is the specialties from the northwest.

Gu Yue had a look of disgust on her face, How can there be any good things in this poor place in the northwest. Bring the specialty products of the northwest back to the capital to give gifts, fourth sister, you don't want to be laughed at.

Gu Shan's face was expressionless, and she retorted: Gifts are for the heart, not for the value of the gift.

Gu Yue sneered, Which one is more important, a gift for a penny, or a gift for a tael of silver?

Gu Zhen lowered her head, pursed her lips, and smiled secretly.

Gu Shan frowned slightly, a little unhappy.

Mrs Xie glanced at her two biological daughters, Yue'er, don't say a word. Shan'er, what your third sister said makes sense. This gift depends not only on your heart but also on its value. If you like it, then better.

The two of you, think carefully about what gifts you should give to highlight your thoughts.

My daughter knows. Gu Shan replied with a low eyebrow.

Xie shi looked at Gu Jiu again, and wanted to stimulate Gu Jiu, Second girl, you have a bad body, and everyone in the Hou residence knows it. I think you can just do some needlework, as long as your sincerity is enough.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, Thanks for the suggestion, Mrs. I already have some ideas about gifts, and I will let the maid prepare them.

Xie shi frowned, Gu Jiu really didn't get caught.

Gu Yue was curious, Second sister, what gift are you planning to prepare?

Gu Jiu said: It's just a small idea, it may not be successful. Let's wait until the capital.

Gu Yue rolled her eyes secretly, bored.

Xie Shi gave up Gu Jiu and looked at Gu Lin, who was sitting at the very edge, Five girls, how is your aunt?

Gu Lin was nervous, her palms were sweating, she hurriedly stood up, If you go back to my wife, thanks to my wife, my aunt is very good.

Xie shi smiled, That's good. I didn't waste my efforts. I beat the servants again and again a few days ago, and I must take good care of Aunt Bai. It seems that they listened.

Gu Lin lowered her head and whispered, Madam has worked hard.

Xie said: I am a mother, can I not work hard? Your food and clothing costs, lifelong important matters, I don't worry about any of them. I don't ask for anything else, I just hope you can be a little filial, don't take my part Fan good intentions can be treated as donkey liver and lungs.

Gu Zhen said hurriedly, Mrs. is serious.

Xie waved his hand, It's getting late, I have to keep busy, you all leave. Yue'er, Shan'er stay.

Yes!

Gu Jiu got up first, said goodbye and left.

Gu Lin followed closely.

Gu Zhen procrastinated, and finally left unwillingly.

After leaving the upper room, Gu Lin caught up with Gu Jiu, Second sister, wait for me. The wife must have explained the third and fourth sisters to stay.

My aunt said that the third and fourth sisters have secretly learned to housekeeping.

What's good, my wife is close to the third and fourth sisters, but she doesn't think about us. Are we not the daughters of the Gu family?

We don't learn to be a housekeeper now, and when we go out and arrive at my in-law's house in the future, we don't understand everything. Wouldn't it be a joke.

At that time, not only will we be ashamed, but the Gu family will also be ashamed, saying that they don't know how to teach girls.

Gu Jiu turned back and looked at Gu Lin, Did your aunt say these words?

Gu Lin nodded first, then shook her head again, a little guilty.

Gu Jiu smiled knowingly, and Concubine Bai gave Gu Lin a lot of ideas.

Gu Lin said this to her deliberately. Could it be that it was also taught by Concubine Bai.

Could it be that Concubine Bai wanted her to come forward and fight with the Xie family.

If you lose, Gu Lin will not be implicated.

If she wins, Gu Lin can follow Zhanguang and learn to be a housekeeper.

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled when she thought of this.

She said to Gu Lin, Go back and tell Aunt Bai to let her take care of the baby. During pregnancy, thinking wildly is not good for the baby.

After speaking, Gu Jiu ignored Gu Lin and left.

Gu Lin stood there, dumbfounded.

This is completely different from what my aunt said.

Is the second sister angry?

Gu Lin was a little flustered, and hurried back to the Acacia Courtyard to see Concubine Bai.

Auntie, according to your instructions, I will tell the truth to the second sister. But the second sister said, but said...

say what?

Aunt Bai asked casually.

Recently, Bai Yiniang was very proud of her spring breeze, her brows and eyes were filled with a pressing aura, and she also became a little plump.

Xie calculated her, she would calculate it, and in turn calculated Xie. Let Xie's plan against her be dashed.

Aunt Bai was very proud of this.

When a person is proud, he inevitably feels that he is full of confidence and wants more.

Not only did she want to give birth to a son, but she also wanted to cultivate Gu Lin as much as she could, so that she could become a veritable noblewoman.

One of the essential elements of a famous lady, you must meet the housekeeper and director, know the world, and welcome to send.

These cannot be cultivated without training.

Therefore, Concubine Bai made up her mind.

She can't come forward herself, and she can't bring this up to the master for no reason.

She needs an opportunity to bring this up to Master Gu before she has reason.

Of course, Yiniang Bai thought of Gu Jiu.

How fierce is Gu Jiu's fighting power!

So far, Gu Jiu has fought directly with the Xie Clan so many times, and he has not lost a single time.

If you can convince Gu Jiu, let Gu Jiu come forward to fight with the Xie family.

When the two of them got into trouble, she would have reason to persuade the master to make it happen, and let Gu Lin follow the sisters to learn how to be a housekeeper.

Concubine Bai seemed to have been carried away by the success, and she took it for granted that as long as Gu Lin reminded her a little, Gu Jiu would get on the set and charge for her.

After all, if this happened, Gu Jiu himself would also benefit.

So when Gu Lin hurriedly repeated what Gu Jiu said, Yiniang Bai couldn't believe it.

Aunt Bai's smile froze on her face, What did you say?

Gu Lin said again: Second sister asked me to tell my aunt to take care of the fetus. Thinking wildly during pregnancy is not good for the fetus.

She really said that? Concubine Bai still couldn't believe it.

Gu Lin nodded heavily, Really.
