Chapter 59:

In the past, Gu Suier had to go to the fair to buy Chinese New Year goods when celebrating the New Year at home. Usually, when the time comes, the mother will open the summer mat and take out all the broken copper plates hidden underneath, and give it to Dad, and ask Dad to buy this and that.
This is the happiest time for Gu Suier and her brother in a year.
Dad would buy all kinds of delicious, red, green and green New Year pictures, couplets to buy blessing characters, he would also buy first flowers for Gu Suier, and a rare little toy such as flying top for his younger brother.
Later, when Gu Suier grew up, she went to help in the town. He would also take out the little personal money he usually saved before the New Year, sell some snacks that are only available in the town to his parents, and buy some gadgets for his younger brother.
This is Gu Suier's New Year before.
Now in this Houfu, the New Year is very different from before in Gujiazhuang.
There are also couplets with blessings in the Hou Mansion, but the blessings in the couplets are all gilded, and there are lanterns and festoons in the Hou Mansion. There are even small red lanterns hung on the bamboo leaves outside the Bamboo Garden. Happy and lively.
The lady and grandma in the mansion are also very busy. The elder lady is busy arranging the various places in the mansion, and she has to prepare the gifts exchanges for the families in the capital during the New Year, and go to the palace to see congratulations during the New Year. The two young ladies couldn't be idle either, they had to follow the old lady.
Originally, Xiao Jin and Xiao Xu were the most leisurely in previous years. The girl had nothing to do at home, reading books to see the scenery, and playing with friends in her boudoir. This year has passed. However, the lady in the mansion meant that Xiao Jin should be married next year, and she can no longer be so idle, she must learn to take charge of everything in the house with her.
Of course, this is just plain words. Only the few in the mansion who know the details understand that this eldest girl and the guard next to the Third Young Master are a bit unclean. The Third Young Master sent the guard out directly and is not allowed to enter the mansion. As for the eldest girl, there seemed to be a lot of noise in secret, and reported to Hou Ye, who was furious and fined the girl not to be discharged from the hospital for one month. When such a thing happens, it is natural to send off the marriage early, so as not to have extra branches.
As for Xiao Xu, although it is said that he does not have to be married in the next year, he is now admitted to the women's school and should follow along. Therefore, the two girls have no time to do so, and both learn from the master behind the lady.
Xiao Xu was very happy when he heard it.
She was admitted to women's school before, and she was so happy with something, the old lady and the old lady also praised it, but she always felt that it was not that way. Later, I thought about it, maybe Xiao Jin was so good that she followed Xiao Jin's buttocks to get things done without being noticeable at all.
Now that I heard that the lady let her and Xiao Jin learn to manage affairs together, she felt that this was an opportunity, and she must follow the lessons well, so that the big guys were admired.
Seeing this, Mother An smiled to Gu Suier behind her back: "The second girl is too stupid. She always thinks she is the same as the older girl. She thinks that as long as she works hard, she should be better than the older girl. But she didn't. I thought that in this mansion, the eldest lady and the two young grandmothers are all toward the eldest girl. They are kind to her, and the boss is willing to take her to learn things like that. It’s the lady’s heart, but not It really treats everyone equally."
Now Xiao Xu is very fond of listening to Zhuyuan, and sees that Gu Suier is the sister-in-law and the eldest sister-in-law, but Mother An still despises her in her heart and does not care too much.
Gu Suier heard this, but she was a little bit emotional for Xiao Xu: "Even though she is not as noble as a big girl, but she is willing to make progress, which is good. It is worse than making progress."
She looked down at her little Achen, it is inevitable that things would hurt him, rubbing the little Achen's well-behaved head, and said softly: "I only hope that my grandmother will have a good life. When the third master gets married, she will be able to get a picture. Madam is so tolerant and generous, she can accommodate our mother and son anyway."
Seeing this, Mother An smiled and said, "San Ye, I'm afraid it is different in the end."
Gu Suier didn't know the rumors, and wondered: "Why is it different?"
In fact, they are all the same. She is a concubine, and her young lady will be a concubine's child.
Mother An hesitated, remembering to talk about the three young masters, but after all, it was a matter of chasing the shadows. Although she believed, she did not dare to pass it on to her master. At the moment, she just said vaguely: "Always read Look behind."
Seeing this, Gu Suier didn't care, and again bowed her head to take care of her little Achen.
After the New Year, Ah Chen was almost a hundred days away, and the Hou Mansion gave Ah Chen a hundred days banquet. The scenery was lively, and it was almost the first month of the year.
The house is busy, but Gu Suier has nothing to do. All she has to do is to accompany her little Achen, listen to Xiao Heng's words and learn more words, and occasionally find time to embroider small things for her little Achen.
Counting with my fingers, I hope that the spring plowing at home will be busy, so that my parents and younger brother can come to Yanjing City to see themselves.
She was embroidering that day, and the maid outside reported that she was a distinguished guest and asked Gu Suier to come over.
When Gu Suier heard this, she didn't dare to delay, so Guizhi asked Guizhi to look after the young lady, brought her maid, and went to the old lady's side together.
When I entered, I heard that there was a lot of excitement inside. There were many maidservants and some new faces standing outside.
It just so happened that Ruyi around the old lady came out. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Lady Ruyi, which lady is here today?"
When Ruyi saw Gu Suier, she covered her lips and smiled: "The one who came today has something to do with the little lady. If you don't listen to Zhuyuan, there will be a big happy event."
Gu Suier was slightly startled after hearing this: "Happy event?"
Jixiang next to him lightly poked Ruyi, and Ruyi stopped saying: "You go in first, the old lady is waiting."
When Gu Suier saw this, she was naturally a little confused, but she had already reached the door, so she naturally went in.
After entering, I saw that it was very lively inside. The old lady was sitting on the soft collapse, surrounded by a crowd of people in two rows next to them, all wearing gold and silver. The watch lady Lu Qingyi was also there, chatting with everyone. Among them, there are two unfamiliar faces. One is a woman in her forties. She has some wrinkles on her face and looks quite vicissitudes of life, but she is extremely rich in clothes.
The other was sitting next to the old lady. He was about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was wearing a snow-white brocade jacket. Underneath was an aqua-green silk pleated satin skirt. His skin was white and delicate, and his appearance was momentarily set off. The crowd was overshadowed.
Looking at this woman, Gu Suier remembered what Ruyi had just said about the upcoming happy event in Zhuyuan. If she felt something in her heart, she held Ah Chen, lowered her head, and respectfully went to the old lady first.
The old lady smiled and said authentically: "I forgot to say, this is Suier, Ah Heng's concubine room."
As he said, the old lady said to Suier: "You come here first and meet Mrs. Zuo and Miss Zuo's family."
Gu Suier faintly felt that today's scene is different from other times, now that she is more respectful and dare not careless, she hurriedly handed Ah Chen to Gui Zhi next to her, and bowed respectfully.
Mrs. Zuo looked at Gu Suier with a smile, and said with a smile: "It looks like a pure-minded child."
The old lady sighed, "Isn't it? Suier was raised in the country before and didn't know how to read. She didn't know how to have such a fate with Ah Heng. She was pregnant before she was put into the house. Otherwise, with Aheng's temperament, there is really no one around him!"
Mrs. Zuo hurriedly said: "The Third Young Master is not too young anymore. This is the age of a weak crown. There should be someone in the room. If you change to another one, I don't know how many."
After listening, the old lady nodded and said with a smile: "It's the same reason. Actually, Ah Heng in our house is an honest man. People are just a nerve. Only the court is in my mind."
Mrs. Zuo is full of praise: "This is good, this is good."
Gu Suier stood by silently, listening to the old lady and this lady Zuo say these things, her heart slowly settled, knowing that this was going to kiss Xiao Heng?
In fact, I have long understood that this day will come sooner or later, but I am still a little worried when things are coming.
She quietly looked at the girl from the Zuo family next to Mrs. Zuo, and when she looked like this, she saw that the girl also happened to look at her side.
Their eyes met, and both of them closed their eyes.
Just at this time, Mrs. Zuo and the old lady mentioned the girl Zuo in words.
"Xiuyan has a bad life. Since she was born in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, she has not enjoyed any blessings, but she has suffered a lot afterwards, and her body is not well."
Mrs. Zuo said that her eyes were red.
The old lady hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter. We have good doctors in Yanjing City, who are in good health and can be healthy and recuperated. We will come over slowly. Now we have gotten to the end, we will have a good life in the future.
After that, the old lady greeted the left girl, and kindly took her hand and asked her something.
Gu Suier lowered her head from the side, put her ears in her ears and listened carefully.
I heard that the girl from the left was graceful, and when she recalled the old lady's words, she was also very organized, and she looked pretty good.
For a while, I couldn't help thinking, if I guessed right, this would really become Xiao Heng's wife, that would be great, maybe I could accommodate myself and Xiao Achen.
Seeing her appearance, the old lady was quite admired: "Looking at her, I think of Wanning from the past, she looks really like it!"
At that time, Zuo Wanning, the eldest eldest daughter of the Anguo Government, was both talented and beautiful and outstanding.
The eldest lady also nodded again and again: "At first glance, I thought Wanning was here. Everyone said that the niece was like an aunt. This is true."
The old lady smiled and said: "A Heng doesn't know how long he will come back. When he comes back, let him come here and get off."
When Mrs. Zuo heard it, she smiled and said: "I came back to Yanjing City this time, there were so many things inside and out, I didn't have time to see the Third Master."
The old lady took Madam Zuo's hand and said, "A Heng looks very good now, you will know it when you see it. Speaking of which, Xiuyan looks so good, standing with A Heng, that’s a natural match. , As I see it, it deserves it!"
Mrs. Zuo was in the middle of her arms, although she was a little embarrassed, she still laughed from ear to ear: "Isn't it? I thought, this was meant to be a kiss and kiss. After all, I have been thinking about the three young masters all these years I can see it again, but it's my wish!"
These two people said and said, this marriage is almost going to be done right away.
The left the side straightened her back, slightly raised her shoulders, her posture was extremely elegant, her lips were smiling, her eyebrows drooped, and she looked virtuous and gentle. But occasionally, she would look towards Gu Suier inadvertently.
Gu Suier felt it, fearing that the girl left was unhappy, and lowered her head more respectfully, not dare to be careless.
