Chapter 41:

Gu Celadon made a fuss once, and confessed that it was reconciled. Because of Li Chengze's behavior, he became more dependent on him that he didn't know.
After drinking two pieces of medicine, the unbearable pain in the lower abdomen gradually receded, and there was no longer a little face stuck on the bed to bake pancakes.
The next day's spirit level recovered more than half, but Gu Celadon was still tired and didn't want to move.
Thinking of the pile of newspapers Liu Shuyue gave her, she let Yuzhu show it to her while Li Chengze was out.
There is a date on the Di Bao, and one issue after another will not appear chaotic. Gu Celadon took the top one, which was the first one.
She was nesting on the hot kang in the Nuan Pavilion. There was a small table on the kang and snacks on the table.
Gu Celadon spread out the newspaper and began to read it.
At the beginning, he was just passing the time, with a lazy expression.
But unconsciously, the more I watched, the more I became involved. Soon, after reading the first copy, Gu Celadon picked up the first copy and opened it to continue reading.
For most of the morning, I was completely fascinated. Yu Chuan brought the medicine over. Without raising her eyelids, she quickly said, "Leave it there first. I'll drink it later."
In view of Gu Celadon's good behavior these past two days, Yuzhu didn't persuade him much, put down the medicine bowl and went out.
However, I didn't expect that Gu Celadon's moment was an hour's effort.
After reading these several newspapers in succession, she still didn't get her head back. She rummaged over there and muttered: "Why are they gone, oh, that's it."
A look of disappointment, itching in my heart, scratching my heart to read the following story, worried that Cui Saburo could turn the danger into a breeze.
Here, Yuzhu Yuchuan walked in with a lot of clothing materials in his hand, raising the curtain, originally wanting Gu Celadon to choose. It seems that Chinese New Year is about to come, so I have to get some clothes for the old lady Bai's and two girls in the east courtyard.
When I came in, I just looked at the medicine on the table and kept it there, and didn't drink it.
"Oh my grandmother, why did you forget to drink the medicine?" It was cold after touching it with her hand, "I need to heat it up again." Yuzhu hurriedly put the pile of clothes on the other end of the Kang bed, and said anxiously. Say.
Gu Celadon was still working on a few weekly papers, with a look on his face.
As soon as her stomach pain improves, she naturally loses her heart after drinking the medicine. Typically, the scars are healed and the pain is forgotten.
I didn't care, but I finally raised my head when I heard someone talking, stretched my neck and asked: "Why did you take so much material out?"
Yu Chuan had the ready-made clothes. She said, "These are the new clothes of grandma and grandfather. They are all made by Xiaoman Guyu. They are good at craftsmanship. They learned from Xiu Niang since childhood. Lost to the one sold in Fairview Place, grandma see for herself."
After that, the jade pearl and jade Chuan shake off the clothes one by one, showing Gu Celadon.
Gu Celadon straightened up and touched her hands. She had nothing to say about the material, it was all the finest materials prepared by the second wife.
It's the craftsmanship of Xiaoman and Gu Yu, this is the first time I have seen each other. When she was a girl in the mansion, her second wife prepared everything she did. Regardless of her eating and dressing, everything was first-class. Gu Celadon never worried about anything, let alone where she came from. Coming.
I only knew that there was a sewing room at home, and when it came time to get married, the second wife chose two needlework girls from the room to give Gu Celadon the dowry.
Gu Celadon was not familiar with these two people. The maidservants she used to serve, the first class, the second class, and the third class, totaled more than a dozen. In the end, she only had the temperament to serve her big jade pearl and jade Chuan.
"Mother feels sorry for me and gave me these two dexterous hands." Gu Qingci said with a smile.
She has a picky vision and is very satisfied with the new clothes, and can't fault it.
If it weren't for her body is not clean now, she would like to try her upper body immediately.
"Hey, take a look at the mate's," Gu Celadon said again.
The two jade girls pursed their lips and smiled, then unfolded the clothes of the two men and showed them to the master.
Gu Celadon saw the other side from this side, and finally nodded in satisfaction: "It's done well, but I don't know if it is appropriate or not. When I come back, I will let him try."
Yu Chuan laughed out loudly: "Grandma is confused, the uncle's stature was noted early in the morning, and he brought it over when he was hired, one by one in the notebook, Xiaoman and the others did it according to it. Where will it not fit."
Gu Qingci knocked on his forehead and smiled: "I am confused. I forgot that there is still this. Yuzhu, you go open my box and take two slings of money out to reward Gu Yu and Xiaoman, saying that they have worked hard. Take Some money to buy snacks."
Yuzhu should be down.
Gu Celadon said again: "Why didn't you make a shirt?"
Yu Chuan replied: "Grandma's meaning is that grandma's undershirt let grandma do it by herself, so she can show some sincerity."
Gu Celadon opened his mouth and said for a while, "Where can I get this."
Yuzhu smiled and explained: "I don't do much. Yuzhu and I are helping with the cutting. Grandma puts on a few more stitches, I think it will not be difficult."
Gu Celadon was relieved and nodded in agreement.
There is a female red master in their mansion who teaches needlework, but Gu celadon is not good at learning and can't make clothes. He can barely make a few stitches, so he embroiders a purse handkerchief or something, but these should generally be handled by maids.
"The rest is for the master of the eastern courtyard, but we don't have many people. Grandma has an idea whether to send the brocade directly, or to make the clothes and send it over?" Yuzhu asked.
Gu Celadon pondered for a moment, thinking that if only the brocade is delivered, it is estimated that Bai's will finally make clothes with Li Zhi and Li Chan.
So he said: "The two younger sisters were detained by their mother-in-law in the year to learn to do things. They haven’t come here for a few days. Then you can invite the two younger sisters over to have a meal with me, and then ask them to help. Let them come over these few days to help cut materials."
Yuzhu also thought it was okay. The two Li girls are both good tempered, and every time they see them, they are kind.
At noon, Gu Celadon asked the kitchen to make a table.
Li Zhi and Li Chan are still shy, but they are no longer as unfamiliar as they were at the beginning, and talking to Gu Celadon is not so embarrassing.
They are actually about the same age, and they should be less restrained if they see more.
Gu Celadon doesn't know much about people here, and two sisters who talk are not repelled.
Saying a few words while eating, the little girls of the family have less rules.
Li Zhi was a little worried, and said carefully: "Sister-in-law, my sister and I have rough hands and feet, and I'm afraid we might ruin the good things of sister-in-law."
Following the example of Li Chengze, Gu Celadon raised his eyebrows and joked with a smile: "Sister, I asked you to help. What you do is the clothes of your grandmother, mother, and you. If you do it, I don’t care. Yes, I have to go with my grandmother and say that I can't rely on me."
Li Zhi's face turned red after a while, a little embarrassed. She didn't expect her sister-in-law to ask them to help, to make clothes for the family.
I didn't know what to say at this moment, and after holding back for a long time, I said: "Sister-in-law is too expensive, we don't need it."
Like Li Zhi, Li Chan looked shy when he first came, but after getting along for a long time, he knew that the two girls were still different.
Li Chan's temperament is a bit lively, and it will gradually show up after getting acquainted with people.
Right now she and Li Zhi reacted differently. Both eyes were shining, and they said, "Thank you sister-in-law, sister-in-law is really good!" This is true. Although their Li family is not too poor to eat, but their mothers rarely give it. They make new clothes, and the grandmother will share a piece of cloth for the Chinese New Year. This year, the family sold the field and set up a house. It should be tight on hand and this crop is gone.
There is some spare money in Bai's hand, but it will not be spent on her daughter. Besides, she is always gloomy in private for this period of time, and the two sisters dare not provoke it.
Li Zhi glanced at his sister helplessly.
Gu Celadon ate well here. The two sisters usually eat less meat and fish, so Gu Celadon told them to use it more.
She speaks freely and bluntly, sometimes choking, but she never babbles, as the two sisters had learned early on.
I get along a lot, knowing that although this sister-in-law has a temper, she actually treats people very well.
The two rooms on the right of the West Wing were turned into a large room, which served as Gu's celadon storeroom. Su Ri was locked, and it was filled with her dowry.
The two rooms on the left that entered from the central hall were arranged into a flower hall. Two charcoal basins were burned inside. As soon as Li Zhi and Li Chan came in from the outside, he felt the heat rushing over his face, warm and comfortable.
Like just in Gu Celadon's warm pavilion, I didn't feel cold at all.
Gu Celadon asked everyone to work here. The place is spacious and bright. Xiao Man Gu Yu is already there, sitting cross-legged on the kang head, holding the material in his hand and bowing his head while sewing.
Seeing Li Zhi and Li Chan came in and had to get up and salute, Li Zhi hurriedly said no, and held it down.
Yu Chuan led them over and asked the two girls to sit on the fire kang.
He smiled and said: "The two girls hurry up and warm up. Our grandma is too busy, otherwise we can come and accompany the fun. It's just that at the end of the year, the Zhuangzi manager will send things to the account book. A basket of things will be troublesome, grandma. These two days have been big, and I really can’t spare time, just begging the girl to help with the cheeky.

"Where, my sister-in-law is taking us to be an improper outsider, so I can help a little bit." Li Chan said with a pursed smile.
Yu Chuan spoke for a while, and asked Qiu Ju to bring tea, water, and fruit, before leaving.
She didn't tell a lie, and the people sent the New Year gift and the account book two days ago.
Gu Celadon dragged her body for two days, but she couldn't drag it. It took time to see that she was having a headache.
At this moment, Yuzhu helped to count the items delivered, most of which were chicken, duck, fish, cured meat, game, and more vegetables and fruits, all of which were delivered here.
Gu Celadon never lacks food in this small kitchen. There are two masters here, and they can't make it anymore, not to mention that the second wife always asks someone to send it over at short intervals.
Now there is no pile at home.
Gu Celadon said: "Don't leave things. We are still piled up here with mother's gifts. I don't know what year and month they are going to be eaten. All of them are sent to the grandmother of the east courtyard. It just happens that the old lady will not buy the New Year goods. The basket of charcoal, we left two baskets and we made them, and the other two baskets were also sent over. Just now, you heard the two girls say that it was cold. I think there is no charcoal in the house over there. I use it here, but it’s not cold over there. it is good."
Yuzhu nodded in response, remembering one by one on the paper.
In addition to the New Year's gift, there were also ledger books and cash produced by Zhuangzi in a year.
These accounts must be passed one by one, to prevent the people below from being greedy and expiring.
Gu Celadon dealt with these things for the first time, and the account books were a little bit unclear, and I didn't even know if there were any false accounts in it.
Not only was it slow to watch, but I also felt that a thread was tangled up and it was unclear.
In the afternoon, Li Cheng came back, and Yuzhu asked Yuanbao to help, and together with Liu Da, who was driving the car, sent the three trucks of New Year goods delivered by Zhuangzi to the east courtyard.
Yuzhu speaks nicely, so she doesn't need Gu Celadon to ask him a word, just the good words make Sun's eyebrows smile, and she feels more fond of Gu Celadon.
Gu Qingci was not so happy here. When he saw Li Chengze coming, he quickly got off the kang and ran over to pull the sleeves of Li Chengze's clothes, and said pitifully, "Sang Gong, come and help me."
Li Chengze didn't have time to take a sip of the tea, and laughed, "I don't wear shoes well. Go and sit down. Why is it so urgent?"
After the two sat down together, Gu Celadon frowned and said, "Look at these, Tiandi Zhuangzi sent the accounts, but I don't quite understand them."
Li Cheng was surprised, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Have your mother-in-law taught you a housekeeper?"
Gu Qingci sighed: "Mother was thinking about teaching slowly, but didn’t I just marry your house suddenly? I have seen the ledger, but I have never studied it carefully. I am completely confused at the moment. ."
Li Cheng didn't rush to answer, and first took a cup of tea.
After a long while, he slowly said, "Isn't it afraid to show you the grandfather?"
Gu Qingci blinked strangely, "What are you afraid of."
Li Cheng was taken aback, then smiled, and stretched out his hand to squeeze her face.
Sighed: "I teach you to read the books, don't worry."
Gu Celadon laughed immediately.
