Chapter 84: Slapped (two more)

Early in the morning, Gu Jiu took the maids and went to the room to ask for peace.
When I was approaching the gate of the upper room, I ran into Gu Zhen, Gu Yue, and Gu Shan.
"Big sister, third sister, fourth sister, such a coincidence."
Gu Jiu took the lead to say hello.
Gu Zhen slightly nodded and asked, "Second Sister, are you in good health? As soon as I heard that I was going back to Beijing, I was worried about the second sister's health.
What should be done if the second sister falls ill before returning to the capital. "
Gu Jiu smiled lightly, "Big sister is interested. Although my body is not as good as the big sister, it is not a problem to stay in the capital."
Gu Zhen laughed, "That would be great. So, I'm relieved."
Gu Shan also said: "Looking at the complexion of the second sister, it is indeed much better. Congratulations."
"Thank you four sisters for your concern."
Gu Jiu stepped forward, but stood in front of Gu Yue.
Gu Yue scowled, "What are you doing?"
Two days ago, Gu Yue ended the ban. Normally, he should be in a good mood, but when I saw Gu Jiu, no matter how good he was, he fell to the bottom.
She just doesn't like Gu Jiu, but she hates Gu Jiu.
the reason?
I hate someone, do I need a reason?
Disgusting is disgusting, and everything about this person feels disgusting. Her smile, what she said, her dress, everything about her, made people feel annoying.
Gu Jiu smiled and stretched out his hand to compare his height with Gu Yue.
In the past, Gu Yue was half a head taller than her. Today, two people are about the same height.
Gu Jiu is really satisfied with this result.
Sure enough, she grew taller, and soon she would be taller than Gu Yue.
"Three sisters, we are almost tall." Gu Jiu was in a good mood, regardless of Gu Yue's attitude.
Gu Yue was immediately upset.
She is only half a year apart from Gu Jiu. Before, her height steadily pressed Gu Jiu, but now they are almost the same height.
Doesn't it mean that she hasn't grown one in the past six months, but Gu Jiu has grown one.
Gu Yue snorted, "What's the use of being almost tall? When my second sister is taller than me, let's show off again."
Gu Jiu nodded and felt reasonable, "The third sister is right. Recently, I have been growing physically, maybe I will be taller than the third sister by the time of the Chinese New Year."
Gu Yue Haha, "You can dream it. In just a few months, you want to be taller than me. Don't you think I'm taller?"
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled. The height of a child is determined by the height of the parents, with some exceptions.
According to Mother Gui, Gu Jiu's biological mother, Su, was a tall beauty. Xie's standing in front of Su's, a little bit shorter.
According to heredity, Gu Jiu is likely to be higher than Gu Yue.
And this trend has now been revealed.
Gu Jiu said to Gu Yue: "By the time of the New Year, we should have already returned to the capital. At that time, we will join the sisters in the Hou Mansion to see who is higher."
Gu Yue said, "Compared. I am definitely taller than you."
"If you want to grow taller, eat more!" Gu Jiu said with a smile.
Xie's physique is prone to obesity, and Gu Yue seems to have inherited this too.
Gu Jiu was very happy to see a chubby Gu Yue during the Chinese New Year.
Gu Jiu took Gu Yue into the ditch, um, nothing wrong.
Gu Yue gritted her teeth and looked upset. But I was wondering, can I grow taller by eating more?
Gu Jiu almost caught up with her height in half a year. Could it be because of eating more?
At this time, Gu Lin came.
When Gu Lin saw the four sisters, she felt a little flustered, a little flustered and hesitated.
Gu Zhen saw her first, "Fifth Sister, you are here too. Come here, we are talking."
Gu Lin smiled, stepped forward, leaned slightly, "I have seen Big Sister, Second Sister, Third Sister, 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 Aunt Bai?" Gu Shan had been silent, suddenly asking.
Gu Lin nodded, "My aunt is fine. Last night, my father went to my aunt."
Gu Lin seemed to be stating the facts, but in Gu Yue and Gu Shan's ears, it seemed to show off.
Gu Yue glanced at Gu Lin, snorted, turned and walked into the upper courtyard gate.
Gu Shan smiled at Gu Lin, "Aunt Bai is fine, that would be great. The fifth sister didn't know, and the father specifically told her mother to take good care of Aunt Bai.
My mother's body was weak, and she had to work day and night, so I was anxious for my mother. Fortunately, Aunt Bai is doing well there, so mother can relax a little too. "
Gu Lin lowered her head, "Thank you Sister Si for your concern."
Gu Shan smiled, "I'll go in first. You guys keep talking."
After speaking, Gu Shan also entered the upper courtyard gate.
Gu Zhen said to Gu Lin: "Fifth Sister, what did you say that my father went to Aunt Bai's place last night. Who didn't know that Aunt Bai was pregnant and was so proud that you even showed it off. Are you energetic?"
Gu Lin is not afraid of Gu Zhen, she is a concubine, who is afraid of whom.
Gu Lin stared at Gu Zhen, "Big sister, what are you talking about. I'm not showing off, I'm just telling the truth. Unlike my big sister, I wander around my third and fourth sisters all day."
Gu Zhen was annoyed, "Gu Lin, did you talk to your eldest sister like this? I am the eldest sister, and I am so loving with my sisters. Is it wrong?"
Gu Lin was speechless and opened her mouth, not knowing how to refute.
Gu Jiu, who had been silent for a long time, said, "Big sister, fifth sister, you must have been friends in your previous life, and you always have to argue a few words when you meet. Let's go in, but you can't let your wife wait for us."
Gu Zhen nodded, "The second sister is right."
Gu Zhen held her head high and walked into the Shangfang courtyard first.
Gu Lin and Gu Jiu walked together, secretly complaining, "The eldest sister is also overbearing. Every time I meet, she always has to train me. She is not relying on the identity of the eldest sister. Second sister, obviously you are the prostitute. She wants to overwhelm you, which is too much."
Gu Jiu laughed and glanced at Gu Lin.
Gu Lin's little girl 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 words.
Gu Lin felt very boring.
The second elder sister is not at all motivated, so she is the third elder sister, and she has to fight with her elder sister for anything. Let people know who has the final say among the sisters.
After entering the upper room, the five sisters sat in the flower hall one by one, waiting for Xie's arrival.
"Lady here!"
As the lady at the door shouted, Xie appeared in the flower hall with a maid.
Everyone got up and said in unison:
"Greetings to mother." These are the four sisters except Gu Jiu.
"Give your peace to your wife." This is Gu Jiu.
Xie's expression was faint and said, "Sit down."
Everyone sat down again.
Xie glanced at the crowd, "The second girl is here, you are a rare visitor."
Gu Jiu said with a smile, "Thanks to my wife, my body is getting better."
Xie sighed, "It's fine when you get better."
After a pause, Xie continued: "You should know the news of returning to the capital. The time of departure will be about the middle or late next month.
During this time, everything that should be cleaned up was cleaned up, and everything that should be handled was handled.
The maids around, which ones are to be taken back to the capital, and which ones are to be sent out. Within three days, the list will be handed over to Chunhe. "
Everyone should be in unison.
Xie nodded and continued: "The weather is getting colder and colder when I leave for Beijing. I have ordered the sewing room to hurry up and buy winter clothes for you.
If any of you have any difficulties, I will tell you today, and I will deal with it for you. "
No one was in a hurry to speak.
There was silence in the room for a while, Xie glanced at the crowd and asked, "Are there any problems?"
Gu Jiu said first: "I have no difficulty here."
Xie's expression was faint, and he nodded slightly, "Second girl, you have to be careful about your body. You have to work the road, don't get sick halfway, and delay the trip of the master."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Thank you for your wife's reminder, I dare not delay my father's schedule."
"That's great."
Xie felt boring. Gu Jiu is simply a tortoise shell, hard and soft, and invulnerable. Whether it was ridicule or insinuation, Gu Jiu handled it calmly, which was really uncomfortable.
Unhappy and unhappy, business has to continue.
Xie's looked at the others again.
Gu Zhen hesitated and said, "When I return to the capital, I will meet the sisters from the Hou Mansion. The sisters from the Hou Mansion, I don’t remember very well, and I don’t know what kind of meeting ceremony I should prepare. Please also my wife. teach me."
Xie's smiled slightly, "Lady Zhen is right. After returning to the capital, you will have frequent visits with the sisters in the Hou Mansion.
This is the first time we meet, we have to prepare for the meeting ceremony.
Not only to prepare gifts for the sisters of the Hou Mansion, but also to prepare gifts for the old ladies and aunts of the Hou Mansion.
In my opinion, the elders are ready for needlework. Sisters of the same generation, please feel free to use needlework, calligraphy and painting, and interesting gadgets. "
Gu Zhen laughed, "Thank you for my wife's reminder, my daughter understands."
Gu Yue asked again: "Mother, how many sisters there are in the Hou Mansion, what are their names, and which head of the house, the daughter hasn't figured out yet. Tell your daughter if it's okay."
Xie suddenly laughed, with a loving smile.
"If you don't ask about these things, I will tell you too. The three heads of the Hou Mansion are all prostitutes.
The masters who came out of the concubine have already separated from each other, so you don't need to pay attention to them.
There are seven girls in this mansion. I have all the information ready for Chunhe, and will give it to you in a while.
You have to remember the people, don't go to the Hou Mansion to admit the wrong person or offend anyone, then I won't be polite. "
Xie's face was stern and serious when he said it.
Gu Yue immediately said: "Mother can rest assured that her daughter will not admit the wrong person and offend the person. I also have to think about the gift to the sisters of the Hou Mansion. It must be sincere, but also novel and interesting. It is not available in Beijing. ."
Gu Shan said: "Since I have to choose something that is not available in Beijing, the most suitable one is the specialty of the northwest."
Gu Yue looked disgusted, "What good things can there be in this poor place in the northwest. Bring northwest specialties back to the capital to give gifts, fourth sister, you don't want to be laughed at."
Gu Shan was expressionless, and retorted: "Gifts are for heart, not for their value."
Gu Yue laughed mockingly, "Which one is more minded, a gift of a penny or a gift of a penny or two?"
Gu Zhen lowered her head, pursed her lips, and smiled secretly.
Gu Shan frowned slightly, a little unhappy.
Xie glanced at the two biological girls, "Yue'er, just say a few words. Shan'er, your third elder sister said some truth, this gift depends not only on the heart, but also on the value. If you like it, then Just better.
You two, think about it carefully, what kind of gift you should give in order to highlight your heart. "
"Daughter knows." Gu Shan replied pleasingly.
Xie looked at Gu Jiu again, and wanted to stimulate Gu Jiu, "Er girl, you have a bad body, and the people in the Hou Mansion know about it. I think you can just prepare some needlework as you please, and your sincerity will do."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you for your wife's mention. I already have some ideas about gifts, and I will let the maid prepare them."
Xie frowned, and Gu Jiu really didn't get on.
Gu Yue was curious, "Second Sister, what gift do you plan to prepare?"
Gu Jiu said: "It's just a small idea, it may not be possible. Let's wait until the capital."
Gu Yue rolled her eyes secretly, boring.
Xie gave up Gu Jiu and looked at Gu Lin, who was sitting on the far side, "Wu-girl, how is your aunt?"
Gu Lin was nervous, her palms were sweating, and she hurriedly stood up, "If you return to your wife, thanks to your wife, your aunt is fine."
Xie's smiled, "That's good. I didn't waste my efforts. The other day, I repeatedly beat people down and must take good care of Aunt Bai. It seems that they are listening."
Gu Lin lowered her head and whispered, "My wife has worked hard."
Xie said: "I'm a mother, can I not work hard? Your food and clothing costs, life-long major events, which I don't worry about. I don't ask for anything else, I just hope you can be a little filial, don't let me Fan good intentions can be regarded as donkey liver and lungs."
Gu Zhen said hurriedly, "My wife 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 and left.
Gu Lin followed closely behind.
Gu Zhen procrastinated, and finally left unwillingly.
After going out of the room, Gu Lin caught up with Gu Jiu, "Second sister, wait for me. The wife must have explained otherwise when she left her third and fourth sisters.
My aunt said that the third and fourth sisters have secretly learned to be a housekeeper.
What's good, the wife is close to the third sister and the fourth sister, but does not consider us. Aren’t we Gu’s daughters?
We don’t learn to be a housekeeper now. When we go out in the future and arrive at the husband’s house, we don’t understand everything. Isn’t it a joke?
When the time comes, not only will we be ashamed, but the Gu family will also be ashamed, saying that they will not teach girls. "
Gu Jiu turned around and looked at Gu Lin, "Your aunt said these things?"
Gu Lin nodded first, then shook her head again, a little guilty.
Gu Jiu smiled clearly, and Aunt Bai instilled many ideas in Gu Lin.
Gu Lin specifically said this to her, maybe it was also taught by Aunt Bai.
It's hard to say that Aunt Bai wants her to come forward and fight Xie's.
If you lose, Gu Lin won't be involved.
If she wins, Gu Lin can follow Dengguang and learn to be a housekeeper and director together.
Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and smiled thinking of this.
She said to Gu Lin: "Go back and tell Aunt Bai, let her take care of the baby. During pregnancy, thinking about it is not good for the fetus."
After that, 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 Xiangsiyuan to see Aunt Bai.
"Auntie, I will follow your instructions to tell the truth to the second sister. But the second sister said, but said..."
"Say what?"
Aunt Bai asked casually.
Aunt Bai is proud of the spring breeze recently, her eyebrows and eyes have a compelling momentum, and she has also become a little plump.
Xie counted her, she would count, and in turn count Xie's. Let Xie's plan for her shattered.
This matter made Aunt Bai very proud.
When a person is proud, it is inevitable that he feels full of confidence and wants more.
Not only did she have to give birth to a son, but she also wanted to train Gu Lin as much as possible, and train Gu Lin to become a true lady of the family.
One of the essential elements for famous ladies is to be able to steward the directors, understand the human relationship and the world, and welcome them.
These cannot be cultivated without exercise.
Therefore, Auntie Bai got up her mind.
She could not come forward, nor could she mention it to the master for no reason.
She needs an opportunity for her to start this matter before Master Gu has a reason.
Of course, Aunt Bai thought of Gu Jiu.
How powerful is Gu Jiu's combat power!
So far, Gu Jiu has fought directly with the Xie family so many times, without a single defeat.
If Gu Jiu can be persuaded, let Gu Jiu come forward to fight Xie's.
When the two quarreled, she had reason to persuade the master to facilitate the matter and let Gu Lin follow the sisters to learn about housekeeping.
Aunt Bai seemed to be dazzled by her success, and she took it for granted that as long as Gu Lin reminded her a little, Gu Jiu would put her on and charge for her.
After all, if this happens, Gu Jiu himself will be good.
So when Gu Lin hurriedly repeated what Gu Jiu said, Aunt Bai couldn't believe it.
Auntie Bai's smile froze on her face, "What did you say?"
Gu Lin said again: "Second elder sister asked me to tell my auntie, so that my auntie can raise her baby. It is not good for the fetus to think about it during pregnancy."
"She really said that?" Aunt Bai still couldn't believe it.
Gu Lin nodded, "Really."
