Red House Spring Fiber

The messenger knocked on the door.When the door opened, without waiting for the concierge to ask a word, he smiled all over his face, his round face was also glowing red, he opened his mouth to talk to Tan Hualang, and closed his mouth to say congratulations.Old Li, the concierge of the Gu's family, only responded in his mouth, and before he came back to his senses, countless auspicious and festive words rushed forward in front of him, leading him to endless joy, rubbing his hands and not knowing what to do: "Yes, is it our uncle? This, this is really..."

Before the real word was written down, the neighbors nearby, the helpers who watched the theater, etc. had already heard it and understood it, and immediately started making noises, saying that he was so ignorant, such a big matter, it must be taken care of Report to the owner inside.That old man Li just came back to his senses, went inside without touching his feet, announced the news loudly, and didn't even care about the opening of the gate next to him.

When the people outside saw it, they seemed to be involved in some happy event, and their cheeks were full of joy, and they began to say something here and there.There are also neighbors in the neighborhood who think that such a Wenqu star has appeared in their own neighborhood, and feel that they have a face, stick to the word "close", and talk about all kinds of things about the Gu family.At this moment, these are naturally compliments, because the Gu family's house is not very deep, and there are two or three female relatives who have seen Gu Qian twice, so they dare not really say it To describe your figure, just point out two or three sentences, and you will be envied by others, and you will feel happy and proud.

There was a lot of chatter outside, but when the news spread inside, Gu Mao just nodded, and walked to stand in front of the desk with a sullen face, spread the paper and rubbed the ink, and practiced calligraphy by himself.The lowly servants and others did not dare to be alarmed. After looking at each other for a while, they all reported to Gu Qian inside again.

Gu Qian had already got the news at this time.

Because today is the day when the imperial examinations are released, she has been thinking about it since yesterday, but today, she has become more and more restless.Fearing that this worry would make Gu Mao feel uneasy, he refused to show the slightest bit.It's a pity that she had already arranged all the accounts and even the housework one by one before the head, and now she has nothing to do to kill the time, so she had to turn out a booklet in the end.But at this moment, he didn't have the heart to read it, and turned it over and over again but didn't read it, so he put the book on the square table and sighed to himself: such a thing, it's useless to worry about it.This reason is clear, why can't I suppress it now?

Just thinking about it, Birui, the big maid from the other side, ran in with a smile on her face: "Girl! Girl! Good news has been reported outside, and it is said that our uncle has been selected by the current emperor to be a prostitute!"

"What!" Gu Qian stood up, she was startled at first, but she calmed down later, and a smile appeared on the corners of her lips and brows: "Okay, okay, this is a happy event. Hurry up and tell the person who reported the letter." Wait for Feng'er, and spread some copper coins outside..." She ordered, she straightened her clothes and hair a little, and then went to Gu Mao's place, she didn't want to finish the order on etiquette, and turned around Thinking about it again: "Brother, did you know? Is there anything you can tell me?"

"Don't worry, sir, I've already made people talk about it." Birui smiled and stretched out her arms to support Gu Qian, thinking in her heart, now that the uncle has won the prize, it is naturally more different from the past, and the flattery in her mouth and heart is more and more Lai: "As far as what to order, there are girls who take care of it, and it's just a few words in vain."

Hearing these two sentences, Gu Qian paused, and glanced sideways at her. Seeing her flushed face, she pursed her lips and went to Gu Mao's place.On the way, I met a young man beside Gu Mao washing ink, and he opened his mouth to say something, saying that Gu Mao is writing now, and he doesn't know why.

"It's better for my brother to be calm." Gu Qian knew immediately that she wanted to use calligraphy to calm her mind: "Just go and serve, and ignore the others. When my brother finishes writing, I will serve you a bowl of tea and say that I am going outside to write. All matters such as rewarding loose money have been sorted out." As she spoke, she turned around and was about to walk back.

After hearing this, Xi Mo hurriedly agreed, took a few steps back, and then went back to the study.

Bi Rui, who was supporting Gu Qian, couldn't help but opened her mouth and said: "Why doesn't the girl go to the uncle to congratulate? If the uncle sees the girl, he will let go of everything, and it's a happy event, so just talk about it."

"You know a lot." Gu Qian said lightly, watching that Birui lowered her head, she frowned in her heart, and thought to herself: This Birui was originally the big maid next to her brother, and she thought it would be convenient for herself. dial over.Unexpectedly, it is not easy.I have also been a maid myself, thinking about her is not easy, and thinking that she is getting older, so I will just let her out in a year or two.Now it seems that it is better to make some plans early.

Thinking in her heart, Gu Qian didn't say a word, she just went back to her room, sent Birui to the cook to order dinner, called a few housekeepers over by herself, and said, "Brother Now that you have won the prize, the mansion in the back is naturally busier than usual. You have to cheer up these few days and put aside other things. First, you should inquire about the etiquette. Once some of the cooking is clear, it will save me a lot of effort in the future.”

After so many days, these housekeepers have also been taught, and they all know that the big girl is very powerful in the housekeeper. Hearing this, even Zhang Hua, the oldest housekeeper, did not dare to speak up. Weiwei agreed.

When Gu Qian saw this, she didn't say much, she gave them a few important instructions and sent them away.At this time, a letter was sent outside, and there was Yang's family inside. The first was congratulations, but the second was the date agreed by Daiyu, no more, no less, exactly three days later.

"It must have been time-calculated before such an hour was set." Gu Qian's lips curled up slightly, and she returned a letter from home, and sealed it with her congratulatory mother-in-law.Later on, there was a lot of excitement in the Gu family, some congratulating, some contacting, some courting, some giving gifts to the door, relatives far and near, new friends and old friends, all of which are different, and there are all kinds of happy fruits scattered in the house. The red copper coins and the like had been making a fuss for two full days before it gradually subsided.

Gu Qian only stayed in the inner house, and had Gu Mao and Jiang Yun to support her outside. Although they were a bit tired, they could support each other because they had prepared early and everything was clear.Waiting to understand everything clearly, Jiang Yun and Gu Mao had tea in the study, and after talking, he said: "The elder sister is clear and sophisticated in the world, not to mention that I live here, I should eat and wear it, and go out to do things. Yes, I understand. Even if there are so many guests coming, and there is a lot of traffic, she is also preparing early and clearing things up one by one. If she works harder in her studies and understands the truth, it will be even better. But she is getting older and her elder brother is her father. You have to get ready early."

Gu Mao was very proud of what he said before, but when he said it later, he frowned and felt reluctant: "I have to think about it before I tell her. Not to mention the others, this way For the matter, she always has to be happy with her own heart. If not, it doesn't fit the word of age, so it's easy to agree. "

"You know what's in your mind." Jiang Yun knew that they had just met each other, and they might not be willing to think about their respective marriages for a year or so, so he only mentioned one thing and said nothing more.They were talking about Gu Qian. Over there, she was asking about the family affairs in detail. When she saw that there was nothing important, she got on the carriage and drove all the way to Yang's house.

When he arrived at Yang's house, he got out of the carriage and entered the yard of the house. When he looked up, he saw Daiyu and Yang Huanxiao standing on the steps, pursing their lips and looking at her.Gu Qian had a slight smile on her face, but when she saw them, her eyebrows and eyes curled up, she raised her skirt up the steps with her lips curled up, and she read a few words: "In this season, even though it's spring, it's still warm and warm." It's cold, why don't you stand here and blow the wind?"

Yang Huan smiled all over his face, and joked: "Naturally, the sun is good here. It's clear from this. Stand up and take a look at the girl from Xinke Tanhua's family. What does she look like? This looks clear, and I will talk to others later. Get up, sister and brother, you can also say that Tanhua Lang can really be called Tanhua."

After hearing this, Gu Qian stretched out her hand to pinch her mouth, and spat at the same time: "It's okay for others to talk, even you are joking." Saying this and laughing, when they arrived in the room, Yang Huan sat with him After a while, he chatted a few more gossips, then found an excuse to lead everyone else down, leaving only the two masters and servants in the past.

Daiyu saw that people were gone, Fang Lian smiled, and first congratulated Gu Mao for winning the prize, but her brows gradually became clouded with sadness.

Seeing her look like this, Gu Qian sighed inwardly, leaned forward and held her hand: "I used to take care of you, calling you a girl, but I was just like a younger sister in my heart. Although I have different identities now, I love you so much." But it's normal. What's the matter, can't you tell me?"

"I also regard you as a sister." Daiyu was a little sad when she heard this, but now she relaxed her brows and eyes slightly, and stretched out her hand to hold Gu Qian's hand, only to feel that the touch was soft, and her mouth I couldn't help talking about recent events: "Since you left, things here have increased day by day. Zijuan must have heard what happened to Tao's family before you, so you don't need to mention it. Afterwards, what happened to me There is an ibis in the house, which also belongs to the old lady and me. She has a docile nature and seems to be aggressive. When I talk to her, I can only talk in general terms. I talk about clothes and food, but I can't say much about the inside. There is one thing. One happy event, one sad event, but I can still say a few words.”

Hearing about the Tao family, Gu Qian deliberately explained the reason for the Tao family's resignation, so as not to make Daiyu feel sad, but she didn't know the details.But after hearing this, she swallowed it for the time being, and said with a slight smile: "Speaking of which, it's really more troublesome than before. It's just worrying, it's always a bit embarrassing, and it's difficult for a while. Cooking, there is something to talk about. What kind of happy event can you say a few words?"
