Chapter 226: Frustrate her

As soon as Gu Jiu returned to Zhilan Academy, Xiao Cui came to report.
"The girl came back just in time. The wife sent someone to invite the girl to the Furongyuan to speak, but the slaves stopped people from entering the courtyard. The girl should go to the Furongyuan, if the wife found out that the girl had secretly left the house, it would be over. "
Gu Jiu changed into his maid outfit and put on his own cotton robe, navy blue with white skin.
She asked: "When did it happen?"
"I have a cup of tea."
Qingmei put a cloak on Gu Jiu, and brought a small brass hand stove, "It's cold outside, the girl beware of freezing."
Gu Jiu said, "I don't like to use the hand stove, you can bring the hand warmer."
The hand warmer looks like a small pillow, hollowed out in the middle, and thick cotton is stuffed in the interlayer. Put both hands inside, it's very warm.
When you are tired, it can be used as a small pillow.
The winter in Beijing was too cold this year. Gu Jiu remembered the popular hand warmers in later generations and drew drawings and asked Qingmei and the others to make some.
Putting the hand warmer on the pair of gloves, Gu Jiu took the maid and Sister Fang to Furongyuan.
Furongyuan was very quiet, everyone hid in the room to keep warm.
Since Chunhe became the master's concubine, Xie's side has changed Chuncao.
Chuncao looks ordinary, and Sheng is careful and thoughtful.
Knowing that Gu Jiu had arrived, she personally stirred up the thick curtain, "The second girl is here, and the wife has been waiting for you for a while."
"Sister Hardy Chuncao. Is your wife in a good mood today?"
Chuncao lowered his voice and said, "My wife is in a bad mood today."
Gu Jiu understood, "Thank you Sister Chuncao."
Qingmei was about to stuff a purse into Chuncao's hand.
Chuncao received his purse and welcomed Gu Jiu's master and servant into the room.
Gu Shan is also there, speaking with Xie's.
Seeing Gu Jiu coming in, she stopped talking and gave Gu Jiu a gift.
"Second sister is good."
"Four sisters are polite."
"What is the second sister's hand, looks very unique."
Gu Jiu took the hand warmer and handed it to Gu Shan, "Sister Si, would you like to try it? It's very warm."
Gu Shan took the hand warmer and put both hands in it. It was really warm.
Gu Shan smiled and said: "This thing is really good, and it's not complicated. With this thing when you go out, your hands will not be afraid of cold."
Gu Jiu said, "I came up with this thing just to keep out the cold."
Gu Shan took the hand warmer and looked through it carefully. The stitches are fine and they must be made by Qingmei.
She asked, "Second sister, what is this name? Have you named it?"
Gu Jiu said, "I named it Hand Warmer."
"Hand warmer, the name is really appropriate. Mother, look at this hand warmer, it's really easy to use."
Xie's glanced at Gu Jiu, "Seeing that the wedding is approaching, the second girl still has the heart to make these gadgets, is it leisurely?"
Gu Jiu smiled slightly, "My wife, please. Recently, I'm not busy, but rather busy. But I can't let myself freeze when I'm busy. I thought of doing a hand-warming needlework, and then I got this hand-warming. Bao. If the wife doesn't dislike it, after going back for a while, I will ask the maids to do a few more, and then send one to the wife."
Xie's disapproval, "I looked at this hand warmer, there is nothing difficult, any needlework maid can do better than this."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "What the wife said is. Since the wife hates the bad needlework in my yard, then I will not show my ugliness, and I will not give my wife a hand warmer, so as not to interfere with her eyes."
Xie was angry, and Gu Jiu really dare to say.
She disliked it, and Gu Jiu really dared not give it away. Is Gu Jiu too upright or mad at her?
Gu Shan hurriedly returned the hand warmer to Gu Jiu, "Second elder sister is smart, this hand warmer is very easy to use. After returning, I also asked the maid to make one and stuffed a lot of cotton."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "The more cotton the warmer."
Xie snorted and asked sternly, "I asked someone to call you, why did you come here after a long time. Do you really think you don't have to abide by the rules of the palace if you marry into the palace?"
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "My wife also knows that since I was young, especially in winter, I will get sick if I don't pay attention to it. Every time I go out is like a war, I always have to toss for a long time. I am a little late today, please. Forgive me, madam."
Xie took the lid of the cup and fiddled with the tea leaves floating on the water.
She glanced at Gu Jiu with a smile and a smile, "From the court to the people, everyone talks about filial piety, and I don't know if the two girls have ever known filial piety?"
Gu Jiu’s face was calm and said:
I naturally know how to filial piety. I will never forget my mother’s death every year. I also keep my father’s birthday in my heart and prepare gifts every year. Even my wife’s birthday does not happen every year. Pull down, the gift is delivered on time."
Xie raised his eyebrows and smiled, with contempt in his eyes, "The living is always inferior to the dead."
Gu Jiu laughed when he heard the words, "Of course the living are no better than the dead. It's just that some people want to compete with the dead, showing themselves everywhere, but they love and frustrate everywhere, asking me to say that I am just looking for hardship."
Xie's hand paused, and his hand holding the teacup bulged.
The muscles on her face twitched uncontrollably. With blood-red eyes, Gu Jiu glared fiercely.
After taking two deep breaths, she stopped her anger.
"I heard that the second master of the Su family has arrived in the capital, he will come to give you your marriage?"
Xie suppressed his anger and asked about the Su family.
Gu Jiu was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Xie to be able to hold back his anger.
It seems that the double stimulation of Aunt Tan and Chunhe made the Xie family grow a lot.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "My wife's news is well-informed. The second uncle only arrived in the capital two days ago."
Xie's eyes looked contemptuous, "Some people don't understand the rules and don't know how to greet you. But I can't help but care about one or two."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, Xie's referring to Sang Shuhuai, there is something in the words.
She said to the Xie family: "The second uncle came to Beijing to give me my marriage, and secondly, I don't worry about my cousin Su. When it comes to rules, the rules of the Su family can't be wrong.
If the father leaves early and returns late, it is most appropriate for the second uncle to go to the office to greet him. In addition, the second uncle asked his father to greet his wife. Doesn't the wife know about this? "
Seeing Xie’s silent, Gu Jiu said,
I remember, my father had been resting with Aunt Chun for the past two days. My father didn’t see his wife, so he forgot to mention the matter. He didn’t expect his wife to misunderstand the Su family. No rules, it really shouldn't."
Xie's face sank.
Which pot Gu Jiu opened or picked up, clearly stabbed her in the heart.
Xie raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that after the Su Family's self-defeated, the days have become harder and harder. The original servants were sold, and only a few loyal servants were left to wait on them.
It is rare for Master Su Er to go to Beijing. It stands to reason that even if it is inconvenient for him to come to the door in person, he should send a servant to come and say, let us know that he has arrived in the capital.
Could it be that the second master of the Su family didn't bring anyone with him? It's because the money doesn't join hands, and the meeting gifts are not available, so I don't even need to be the rules. "
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled mockingly.
Xie now can only find a sense of superiority in the Su family.
Gu Jiu raised his head and said, "I disappointed my wife. The second uncle was accompanied by people, and the money in his hand was enough to cover the expenses. The reason why he didn't send someone to inform him was because the second uncle thought it was unnecessary. Scholars, do not look down on the nouveau riche, please forgive me, my wife."
"What are you talking about? Presumptuous!"
"Does the wife mean that I am presumptuous? Or is the second uncle his old man presumptuous?"
Gu Jiu looked at Xie sincerely.
Xie's face could no longer be stretched, his face pale.
She pointed to Gu Jiu and said angrily: "The Su family deceived too much, and the Gu mansion does not welcome their uncles and nephews to visit."
Gu Jiu's face sank, "The Su family is here to be a guest, no wife welcomes. Although my mother has passed away, my brother and I are still alive. Please put your wife in the right position. You can fault anyone, but you are not qualified to fault the Su family. . It is even less qualified to say that the Su family is not welcome to come."
The next room is the next room. Do you really think the Xie family is so awesome?
The Su family was indeed defeated, but it did not fall to the point where it was slapped in the face by the Xie family. Are her two brothers and sisters Gu Jiu and Gu Yu really dead?
Xie said hard: "I'm the wife of the second room in the Gu's house. I said who would not be welcome to come, and I still need qualifications?"
Gu Jiu laughed mockingly, "I welcome the Su family, and my father also welcomes the Su family. Together, my father and I are not worthy of my wife?
Also, the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month is my wedding day, not Gu Yue or Gu Shan's wedding day. Please make sure your wife clarifies the situation. "
Xie said angrily: "What about your big wedding? I am the wife in charge and your elder. I said no one is welcome to come, do you have to fight me?"
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled contemptuously, "To be honest, my wife doesn't listen, but wants to show your so-called authority. Well, as the lady of the Ning Palace, I will tell your wife. On the 16th of the twelfth lunar month, Uncle Su's nephew will come, Gu The house is warmly welcomed, does the wife understand?"
Xie sneered, "Second girl, is it possible that you are not clear-headed? You are not the lady of the palace, you are only the second girl of the palace. Find out your identity and status, and then talk to me."
Gu Jiu smiled, "My wife is right, I am indeed just the second girl from the Gu family. But what? Can the wife stop the Su family? Can you stop me? You said that the Su family is not welcome. Who listens to you?"
Xie's face changed again and again, pointing at Gu Jiu, angrily said: "This is what you call filial piety?"
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Will your wife sue me for being unfilial?"
"I……"
After Xie's blurted out a word, he couldn't say the rest.
She could not sue Gu Jiu unless she wanted to ruin Gu's family and ruin Gu's official career.
The emperor personally pointed out that the girl who married was a rebellious and unfilial person. Whether it was true or not, this was all slapped in the face of the emperor.
Even if Gu Jiu couldn't end well, Gu Mansion didn't end well either.
The emperor has a weird temper, stingy, and grudges.
Who dares not to give the emperor face, the emperor will make his whole family faceless.
Whoever dares to lose the face of the emperor, the emperor will make this person and his family unhappy.
No matter how stupid the Xie family was, he did not dare to point to the imperial decree of marriage and say that the emperor was wrong.
The imperial decree of marriage is clearly written: Gu Jiuqian and filial piety.
Xie's daring to tell Gu Jiu for his unfilial piety, isn't he talking about imperial decree nonsense?
This is a terrible thing.
"Mother, the second elder sister is about to get married and has a busy schedule. Let the second elder sister return to the room."
Gu Shan uttered a sound at the right time to complete the scene.
Xie wringed his handkerchief, a thousand thoughts flashed in his heart.
He De He Neng, Gu Jiu He De He Neng, can be accused of marriage to the emperor's grandson as his wife.
If not, where did Gu Jiu's confidence dare to challenge her, why should she suffer Gu Jiu's idleness and tear Gu Jiu's sharp mouth long ago.
Even when Su Clan was alive, she had never been so angry.
I think that although she was born in a small family, she has been cared and loved by her father and brother since she was a child, and has never suffered or been poor.
When the age is right, marry Master Gu. Within a few years, Su Clan was killed, and then he straightened smoothly.
More than ten years passed smoothly, with both children and husband and wife in harmony.
In the end, it was all because of Gu Jiu, it was this dead girl who caused her and her master to disagree for the first time in a quarrel, and asked the Bai Yiniang to get pregnant.
But God has eyes, Aunt Bai's son is dead, haha...
But why did God not open his eyes, refused to punish him, and clean up Gu Jiu?
Just because Gu Jiu doesn't respect the elders and has no filial piety, he is not worthy of marrying the emperor's grandson, and he is not worthy of being prosperous and wealthy.
Xie's heart is roaring, why is it all?
"If there's nothing else, my wife, I'll leave first."
Xie stayed silent, so Gu Jiu got up and left.
Hearing Gu Jiu's voice, Xie's finally recovered.
Her eyes were bloodshot, cruel and tired, but she never spoke.
Gu Jiu lowered his eyes and smiled, then turned and left.
Xie picked up the teacup and was about to throw it on the ground.
As a result, he raised his hands in the air and stopped again.
She is not angry.
She will not be angry for Gu Jiu.
Gu Shan was nervous, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief when Xie took back the teacup.
Gu Jiu braved the cold wind and walked through the garden, preparing to return to Zhilan Academy.
Old man Gu walked towards him.
The maids were nervous for a while, "It's winter, why did the old man go out?"
You should know that this winter, Mr. Gu never left the courtyard, and he was drinking and playing with his concubines all day, which was absurd.
Gu Jiu waved his hand, "Don't be nervous. That's the old man, not a scourge."
Gu Jiu greeted him, bowed and saluted, "The granddaughter has seen grandfather, please greet grandfather."
"Oh, it's Xiao Jiu."
Elder Gu's eyes were muddy, and he looked drunk.
"I heard that you are going to marry soon, but the grandson of the emperor married."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Exactly. It's cold, why did my grandfather go out?"
Old man Gu stared, "Can't the old man go out? You little girl, who is not very old, has a good control. Here you are, take it."
As soon as the voice fell, Mr. Gu threw an object.
Fortunately, Wang Yi caught it with quick eyes and quick hands.
It's an envelope with things in it.
Father Gu shook his footsteps, "If it is given to you, you will accept it. When you get married, the old man will not come out."
After speaking, Old Man Gu walked away staggeringly.
"Girl, it's a silver ticket."
Wang Yi was very nervous, and quickly handed the envelope to Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu counted carefully, and there were five thousand taels in the envelope.
She looked surprised, this is the makeup that Old Man Gu added to her!
She turned her head and screamed, "Thank you, grandfather."
After speaking, bow deeply.
Elder Gu yelled angrily, "Long-winded! Little girl's film is just asking for suspicion."
Gu Jiu laughed.
All the way back to Zhilan Academy, Gu Jiu told Qingmei, "Send the hand warmers you made before, don't forget the old lady of Hou Mansion."
Qingmei smiled and said, "Don't worry, the maidservant will never forget it."
Together, Qingmei and Xiao Cui went out to give gifts to Gu Jiu.
The eldest wife Zhang, the eldest grandmother Xiao Zhang, and several sisters, all sent them. Only did not send it to Xie.
Just like what Gu Jiu said in front of Xie's face, since Xie's dislikes, of course she will not give the district hand warmer to avoid being an eyesore.
When Xie's learned of this situation, Gu Jiu really dared to skip her, and refused to even send a hand warmer. The anger that had been suppressed was soaring. This time I couldn't hold it down anyway.
Xie smashed a teacup on the spot.
"Unreasonable!"
Chuncao said in a low voice: "Why don't the servants go to remind the second girl, don't forget Furongyuan."
"Remind her what to do? Do you really think she forgot? She obviously did it on purpose."
Xie scolded Chuncao angrily, not allowing Chuncao to go to Gu Jiu, so as not to be ashamed.
After Qingmei and Xiaocui gave away the female relatives in the mansion, they went to the Hou Mansion next door to give gifts.
The little warm hand treasure is not worth anything, but it is also Gu Jiu's heart.
When the old lady Wei received the gift, she immediately tried the effect, "It's really warm and convenient. Xiao Jiu, a child with ingenuity, can come up with this kind of heating gadget."
Qingmei said: "My girl is worried about the old lady going out and freezing her hands, so she specially asked her slave to send the warmest one."
The old lady Wei was cheerful, "She has a heart. Go back and tell Xiao Jiu to tell her to get married."
"Slaves obey orders."
In addition to giving gifts to the old lady Wei, he also gave hand warmers to the three ladies of the Hou Mansion.
The eldest wife, Xiao Wei, took the hand warmer and said with a smile: "Like Xiaojiu wants to get it, it's convenient to wear it when you go out. It's just that the needlework is rough, and the outer layer shouldn't be cotton. I'll order the maid to follow it. Make this pattern better, embroider it with flowers, and send it to the old lady."
The old lady Wei smiled and said: "Do more and give the children one. Don't forget the relatives, this thing is very innovative."
