Chapter 123: Xiao Jiu is a good wife

Everyone came to Songhetang to meet the old lady Wei.
The old lady Wei was happy seeing the girls from the two houses together.
"Good, good! Just come."
She saw Gu Jiu in the crowd.
She waved to Gu Jiu, "Xiao Jiu comes to the old man."
Gu Jiu stepped out and walked to the old lady Wei with a smile.
At this moment, everyone in the room noticed Gu Jiu.
The old lady took Gu Jiu's hand and smiled, "I heard that you did a good job in the calculations, and I also helped your aunt to check the accounts."
"The old lady is ridiculous. The grand niece just knows some knowledge of settlement."
The old lady Wei said cheerfully, "The children nowadays are humble. Zhang, you come to tell everyone, how is Xiao Jiu's final account?"
The eldest wife Zhang suddenly laughed, "Xiao Jiu is quick and good at settling accounts, but he is a good steward and director."
While saying this, Zhang also paid attention to the reactions of all the ladies and wives present, and recommended Gu Jiu to all the wives.
Then, she continued: "I gave her the account book yesterday. She picked up the abacus and settled the account. The account was correct, but the price was wrong.
Things that I don't usually pay attention to, she realized at a glance that it was a fake account. It's all right now, catch a moth, and if you get the money, you can invite everyone to drink. "
Haha...
Everyone laughed.
The old lady Wei also laughed and said to the ladies: "What I said before. I said this kid is capable, you believe it now!"
Everyone agreed, "Of course there is nothing wrong with what the old lady said."
Gu Jiu kept smiling.
How did she feel that the old lady was introducing her to marriage.
The old lady was kind to her, but she had never thought of marrying out so early.
Mrs. Luhou looked up and down Gu Jiu, and nodded secretly. It's not bad. It's very good to ration her three boys.
Mrs. Zhenguo raised her eyebrows, "Who I heard just now said that this girl Xiao Jiu is a sick young girl who grew up in a medicine jar since she was soaked. Old lady, is this true?"
As soon as this was said, the room was so quiet that needles fell.
The wives and wives who were optimistic about Gu Jiu, in a blink of an eye, more than half of the people retreated.
Gu Jiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that the reputation of the diseased rice seedlings would still have this effect, which was not bad.
The old lady Wei first glanced quietly at Xie.
Xie's face was innocent, she was not to blame for this.
Of course, she didn't teach Gu Yue well, it was her responsibility.
Ever since, Xie's stared at Gu Yue again.
Gu Yue's eyebrows were pleasing to the eye, and her eyes were confused, seeming to regret her previous mistakes.
But in her heart, this would be secretive.
That, deserve it!
The old lady looked eccentric, only Gu Jiu in her eyes.
She was also a direct daughter, but the old lady never looked at her more.
Now she wanted to see that Gu Jiu's reputation for sickness had been spread, and the old lady could do anything to reverse this situation.
The old lady Wei said to everyone: "That's all the old calendar. Xiao Jiu's body has long been taken care of. Look at her spirit, how can she look like a sick rice seedling. Last time they held it at the house. At the banquet, this child was busy from morning to night, and he never called tired."
The ladies nodded again and again, and the old lady made sense.
Many people present at the last banquet attended the banquet. They all saw Gu Jiu greet each other in and out. Indeed, she had never yelled tired, nor had she ever left to rest.
Although the child Gu Jiu looks thin, it does not look like he has been in bed all year round.
"I like this kid Xiaojiu. If I can be my daughter-in-law, I can wake up laughing."
Mrs. Luhou laughed. Although it was a joke, there were some real thoughts in it.
What can Gu Jiu do? She can only cooperate, showing a shy smile
The old lady Wei is very happy to be joined.
"Xiao Jiu's marriage is not counted as the old man said. You have to ask her Lao Zi Niang."
When the old lady finished speaking, she laughed again.
Madam Luhou looked at Xie, "Mrs. Gu, what do you think?"
Xie's smiled, "Madam likes Xiao Jiu, that is the blessing of our family Xiao Jiu. As for the marriage, do not rush or rush."
Mrs. Luhou laughed, "I am anxious. Who makes this girl like Xiao Jiu cute."
"Mrs. Luhou is right, Miss Xiao Jiu I also like it."
Mrs. Zhu Guo, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
For a moment, everyone looked at Mrs. Zhu Guo.
Zhu Guo Gong Mansion is the maiden family of the old lady Wei and the young Wei.
Both of them looked unresponsive.
The eldest wife Xiao Wei asked: "Sister-in-law really likes Xiao Jiu?"
Mrs. Zhu Guo smiled, and said unclearly: "I like all girls who look good and capable."
The old lady Wei groaned: "You can't grab Xiao Jiu with the old man. The old man wants to stay with Xiao Jiu for a few more years. With such a smart girl by his side, the old man is happy every day."
Mrs. Zhu Guo smiled and nodded, "I listen to my aunt."
Mrs. Zhu Guogong, the old lady Wei, and the eldest wife Xiao Wei are all smart people.
The three people reached an agreement in a few words.
The Gu and Wei family have been married for two consecutive generations.
Don't worry that Mrs. Guo Gong likes Gu Jiu so much. The two families of Gu and Wei cannot be married for three generations.
The old lady Wei clearly expressed this meaning.
Mrs. Zhu Guo also simply agreed to the old lady Wei's marriage with the Gu family, and she would not mention it ever since.
Gu Jiu also understood the Ji Feng in the three people's words, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, no one was offended.
Xie also heard something in the old lady Wei's words, and felt a little bit in his heart.
In the past, she planned to marry Gu Yue to Zhuguo's government. Because Gu Yue died, the Xie family gave up Gu Yue and instead planned to marry Gu Shan to Zhu Guo's government.
However, looking at the meaning of the old lady Wei and Zhu Guogong today, this generation of Gu and Wei family will never get married.
What should I do now?
Xie's thoughts turned and noticed Mrs. Luhou.
Mrs. Luhou can see Gu Jiu and Gu Shan too!
Gu Shan was no less than Gu Jiu, just as smart.
The old lady Wei spoke again, and Xie put her mind away and talked about it later.
The old lady said to Gu Jiu: "Don't stand, go to the flower hall and play with the girls. Mei girl, you take your sisters over."
Gu Mei responded with a smile, "Sisters, follow me. Let's go to the flower hall to talk and drink tea."
The girls from the Gu family followed Gu Mei to the Flower Hall.
In the flower hall, girls from various houses are chatting.
Seeing the Gu girls coming, they all got up to greet them.
Girl Zhao Liu took the initiative to come to Gu Yue, "Sister Yue, you can count, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Gu Yue was stunned for a moment, then laughed in a blink of an eye, and took Miss Zhao Liu's hand, "Sister Zhao, I miss you so much."
Gu Yue did not expect that the last time she deliberately pleased her, she really got the friendship of Zhao Liu.
Gu Yue chatted with Miss Zhao Liu, and they looked like sisters.
Gu Zhen secretly stared at Gu Yue and sneered when she saw her chatting with Miss Zhao Liu. Turned around and went to find Gu Jiu.
After greetings with everyone, Gu Jiu came to enjoy the plum blossoms outside the flower hall.
"Sister Xiao Jiu, why don't you go to the flower hall to drink tea."
Gu Mei followed.
Gu Jiu pointed at the plum blossoms in the garden and smiled: "It's so beautiful."
"Sister Xiao Jiu likes plum blossoms?" Gu Mei asked with a smile.
Gu Jiu nodded, "Who doesn't like it if you don't fear the cold and bloom wantonly."
Gu Mei said, "No, this plum blossom is like Sister Xiaojiu, no matter how difficult the situation is, she can deal with it calmly."
Gu Jiu shook his head and smiled, "Sister Mei, you said that, I should blush. I'm not as strong as you said."
She is also afraid of pain, and sometimes crying.
Gu Mei opened her mouth. Before she could speak, she heard footsteps behind her back and the maid's exclamation.
Gu Mei turned her head and said in surprise: "Why did my sister-in-law come out?"
Gu Jiu looked over at the sound, she was a pretty little daughter-in-law, tall, fair complexion, and outstanding.
The visitor was the wife of Gu Rui, the elder of the Hou Mansion, and the eldest grandmother Jia.
The last two times, Gu Jiu had not seen Jia's. I heard that she was having an fetus and needed a rest, so I didn't bother.
After recognizing the visitor, Gu Jiu hurriedly stepped forward to see the salute, "I have seen my wife in the lobby."
The youngest grandmother Jia Shi looked at Gu Jiu, a little confused, because she didn't recognize the person.
Gu Mei hurriedly introduced her, "Sister-in-law, this is the second sister from the house next door, Xiao Jiu."
Jia suddenly realized, "It turned out to be Miss Xiao Jiu. I am unbelievable. The last time you came to the mansion, I didn't come out to see you. Don't care about the rudeness."
"Sister-in-law in the lobby is important to her body." Gu Jiu calmly looked at Jia's slightly bulging belly.
Gu Mei said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, it's cold outside, you should go back to your room and rest. If you need anything, just ask the maid to do it."
Jia family glanced at the flower hall, "I heard that it is very lively here, so I couldn't help but come out and have a look. Big sister, don't worry about me, I will leave after a few glances."
Gu Mei hurried forward and personally helped Jia's family, "Sister-in-law, I will accompany you to the flower hall."
"I also want to greet the old lady. Xu never greeted her. It's really unfilial."
"The old lady knows the situation of the sister-in-law, so she won't blame it. Moreover, if she hurts her body, how can she get it."
"It doesn't matter. The imperial doctor said that I can come out and walk around."
Jia's expression was relaxed and did not take Gu Mei's worries to heart.
But Gu Mei couldn't help but worry.
Jia's pregnancy was particularly difficult.
Since she first learned that she was pregnant, she began to have a fetus for three to four months. Seeing that the fetus became a little stable, Gu Mei didn't want to have an accident at this time.
Moreover, if something happens because of her poor care, Gu Mei doesn't know how to face her eldest brother.
The eldest brother is very much looking forward to this child.
Gu Mei carefully supported Jia's family and walked a distance, thinking of Gu Jiu.
She hurriedly turned her head, looked at Gu Jiu and said, "Sister Xiao Jiu, after you have seen the plum blossom, remember to go back to the flower hall. You can also enjoy the plum blossom in the flower hall."
"Sister Mei, don't worry about me, go ahead."
Gu Mei was relieved.
Qingmei sighed secretly, "I didn't expect grandma to have a baby so hard."
Gu Jiu said: "Everyone's physique is different. The physique of the sister-in-law in the lobby is relatively weak, and it is naturally more difficult to get pregnant.
Just because it is difficult to get pregnant, I pay special attention to this baby.
Not only she herself values ​​it, but the entire Hou Mansion takes it seriously.
The old lady Wei and the eldest wife Xiao Wei did not need her to worry about the housework.
The eldest wife, Xiao Wei, also personally cleaned up the coquettish maids in Gu Rui's room, so as not to add to Jia's obstruction.
All this is done in the hope that Jia can give birth to the child safely and import the Hou Mansion.
Gu Jiu stomped his feet, and it was really cold outside.
She returned to the Flower Hall.
As soon as I entered the flower hall, I felt like I was in a warm spring. She quickly took off the cloak and handed it to Qingzhu to hold it.
"Second sister, where are you going? I'm looking for you everywhere."
Seeing Gu Jiu, Gu Zhen hurried to her side and couldn't help complaining twice.
Gu Jiu said, "I went outside to see Meihua. What is the big sister looking for?"
Gu Zhen pulled Gu Jiu's sleeves and pointed in Gu Yue's direction secretly, "Look at the second sister, Gu Yue and Zhao Liu are mingling with each other again. The two are talking and laughing, and we are more intimate than our sisters. "
Gu Jiu glanced, oh, he didn't care much.
Gu Zhen was surprised, Gu Jiu's reaction?
"If there's nothing else, big sister, I'll go and take a look."
Pei Man waved with Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu walked over, "I have seen Sister Pei."
Pei Man pulled her, "I heard people say that my mother is very satisfied with you and wants to hire you back as a daughter-in-law. Sister Gu Jiu, or you will be my sister-in-law."
Gu Jiu looked embarrassed and coughed slightly, "Sister Pei, don't make a joke. Those are all jokes between adults, so you really take it seriously."
Pei Man nodded, "I take it seriously. My mother rarely praises people, especially outsiders."
Gu Jiu was even more embarrassed.
She quickly changed the subject, "Did your big sister not come today?"
Gu Jiu asked Pei Yun. She knew that Pei Yun was in the northwest, but she couldn't let others know that she knew about it. Asking is a matter of course.
Pei Man said hurriedly: "My eldest sister's illness is still not healed, and it will take some time to raise her. But the doctor said, the eldest sister should be able to recover soon."
So Pei Yun will return to the capital soon.
I don't know why Pei Yun hid in the northwest.
Pei Man whispered to Gu Jiu in a low voice, "My mother is so worried, worry about my big sister's marriage. It's not that big sister can't get married, but that there are too many people who are relatives. They are almost picky."
Gu Jiu laughed, "A family of women asks for help, so congratulations to sister Pei Yun."
"Ah, you actually know my big sister's name."
Gu Jiu blinked and pretended to be stupid, "You told me. And it's not difficult to know the name of Sister Pei Yun."
"That's true. Our family knows the Hou Mansion very well. I used to be a guest in the Hou Mansion with my eldest sister. I thought that my eldest sister would make a date with my sister Mei about the same time, but I did not expect that sister Mei would be in the front. His marriage hasn’t been seen yet.

Gu Jiu said: "When Sister Pei Yun's body is well developed, she will naturally find a good marriage."
Pei Man nodded, "You are right."
The maid came to inform that the banquet was ready.
Everyone took the table one by one, enjoying the flowers and drinking, so happy.
At the reception, I didn't see the youngest grandmother Jia, who wanted to come back to the room to rest.
It’s not fun just to have a banquet, and everyone starts to drink.
Drinking order is not difficult for Gu Jiu. For most of the year, I read books and took notes every day, and all the hard work has paid off.
She was full of interest and played with everyone.
Gu Shan had a good time.
Gu Yue made a fool of twice.
Gu Zhen could barely handle it, but Gu Lin was completely blind.
Gu Lin reads for three minutes, let her play with wine, her face turned into bitter gourd.
Everyone had fun, so they just let the maid remove the banquet and prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Everyone wrote poems on plum blossoms.
There is no limit to the format, whether it is words, poems, or tunes, as long as they are well written.
Complete the task within a stick of incense.
Gu Jiu was eager to try it. It was the first time to play this kind of game, which was quite interesting.
The adults sat at the banquet and looked at them with cheerful expressions.
"It's more fun than we played back then."
"That's right. Now these kids have a lot of ideas. It's like ours, the family is strictly controlled, and if you make a mistake, the elders will scold them."
"Girls have lived a good life these few years. When they get married, they will have parents-in-law and sister-in-law, and there will not be a day of leisure. I think, don't hold them and let them play casually. Just have fun."
"That's right, the lady is still insightful."
A maid came in and spoke quietly in the ears of the second wife Wang and the old wife Wei.
Mrs. Wang was not at ease after hearing the maid’s report.
She looked at the old lady, her eyes questioning.
The old lady Wei Shi nodded at her.
The second wife Wang sighed secretly, got up, called Gu Qi, the daughter of the second room, and quietly left the flower hall.
Upon seeing this, Gu Mei took the opportunity to ask Mrs. Wenwen Xiaowei.
"Mother, the second aunt and the second sister left suddenly, did something happen?"
The eldest lady said calmly: "The Prince Zhao's Mansion has sent someone to tell Gu Qi to see it. You just need to know about it, don't tell me."
Gu Mei worried, "The second sister will be fine, right."
The eldest wife Xiao Wei shook her head slightly, "No one can tell now."
