Chapter 37 Aunt Sui has arrived

"Thank you aunt for giving us such a good honor!"

"Yes! The things from Wanbaozhai have always been priceless in the capital! I didn't expect that we could get such a complete set this time!"

The ladies were chattering. Gu Wenling and Gu Wenting also had smiles on their faces at this time.

Gu Wenling put on her head, face and jewelry and walked slowly to Lan Feirou and said:

"Auntie is so kind to Ling'er! Thank you auntie for the reward."

She looked at Gu Wenting and Gu Wenling with relief and said:
  "Yes, they are all pampered girls from our General's Palace. You have to work hard for this banquet. Whether you can enter the Imperial Academy depends on you two!"

The old lady had just walked to the front hall and happened to hear Lan Feirou's words. She frowned and said:

"Hmph, our General's Mansion has been in the army for generations, even girls don't need to be pampered. If you really pamper your children like you do, where does the glory of this General's Mansion come from!"

Mrs. Gu walked into the front hall on crutches as she spoke.

When Lan Feirou saw Mrs. Gu walking in, she quickly stood up and helped Mrs. Gu to a sitting position.

"Mother, why are you here?"

The old lady sat in her seat, looked at the ladies of the Gu family present, frowned and said:
  "Where's that girl Youyou? Why haven't you seen her coming?"

Lan Feirou panicked and immediately said with a smile:
  "Mother, that girl Youyou is used to being wild. I asked my servants to look for her. She refused to come!"

The old lady frowned and looked at Lan Feirou, with disappointment in her eyes.

"So, you didn't cut the child's clothes at all?"

Lan Feirou smiled awkwardly:
  "Mother, I don't want to either! It's just the relationship between the child and me. As you know, she doesn't listen to me. How can I cut clothes for her?"
  The old lady sighed deeply:

"You are so mean to Youyou. I hope you will not regret what you did today in the future. Feirou, it has been twenty years since you married into the Gu family!"

Hearing the old lady ask this, Lan Feirou's heart skipped a beat. The old lady continued:

"You are managing the Gu family's property conscientiously. Thank you for your hard work. After this banquet is over, you can temporarily hand over the housekeeping rights to the second house!"

Lan Feirou looked in disbelief. After taking care of the house for so long, the old lady took it away right away?
  "Mother, what do you mean by this? I am the mistress of the general's house. How can you let your sister-in-law manage such a big family! If word spreads, you will be laughed at!"

"What's so funny? Since you, the mistress, can't handle a bowl of water evenly, then I, the old woman, will let others take care of it!"

Lan Feirou gritted her teeth. She knew that the old lady was deliberately trying to make her compromise, but she couldn't do it when she thought of bowing to Gu Youyou.

But if she doesn't do this, the housekeeper's rights will be taken away, and how will she live in the general's mansion in the future.

"Mom, my daughter-in-law did something wrong with this dress. Otherwise, I would have called the tailor to come again today and make it overnight!"

Gu Wenling also said at this time:

"Grandma, it's too late to make it overnight. I think sister Youyou is about the same figure as me, and I just have an extra set of clothes. Why don't you let your sister wear my outfit?"

Gu Wenling's voice was soft and her expression was graceful.

Mrs. Gu nodded happily:

"Wen Ling is still sensible, but that girl Youyou is very proud, and I don't know if she is willing. Mother Feng, go to the island in the middle of the lake and call that girl over."

Mother Feng was the old lady next to Mrs. Gu. She stepped forward and saluted: "Yes, old slave, go now!"

Mother Feng was about to leave as she spoke. At this time, the housekeeper walked into the main hall and said:

"Old madam, madam! Aunt Sui from the palace wants to see you!"

Hearing the name Aunt Sui, everyone present felt their hearts twitching. The Crown Prince of Chang'an actually invited Aunt Sui here?
  The old lady was happy:
  "Please!"

After a while, I saw a kind nanny walking up. The grandma was smiling and her clothes were meticulous.

There was only a golden hairpin on her gray hair. She walked slowly into the main hall, smiled and saluted the old lady:

"Old slave Sui Wanniang has met the old lady!"

"Old sister, please get up quickly. I still remember that when my wife entered the palace, she was taken care of by her!"

Aunt Sui smiled and said:
  "It's all in the past. I came here today because of the prince's instructions!"

At this time, Mrs. Gu was already happy. She didn't expect that the Crown Prince of Chang'an would actually invite Aunt Sui here.

"You're here to teach my granddaughter etiquette, right? I just called someone to fetch her!"

When Nanny Feng came to the water, she happened to see Chu Ren sitting by the water, waiting for something.

"Little brother, you are Miss Youyou's bodyguard, right? Madam, please come over!"

Chu Ren stood up and saluted Grandma Feng very respectfully:
  "Okay, I'll call my master right now!"

Chu Ren did not row the boat, but directly jumped up and flew directly across the lake to the island in the middle of the lake. In less than a moment, he saw Chu Ren rowing a new boat carrying Gu Youyou towards the shore. Come.

"Youyou has met grandma, but I don't know what to call her!"

Aunt Feng looked Gu Youyou up and down and said with a smile:
  "Miss, just call me Nanny Feng. The Crown Prince of Chang'an has sent someone here. Madam, I would like to ask you to speak to me in the front hall!"

"Okay, mama, please!"

Gu Youyou acted very calmly, and the smile on her face was just right. This demeanor and the air of her whole body made Grandma Feng couldn't help but admire her.

Entering the front hall, Gu Youyou saluted Mrs. Gu:
  "Youyou has met the old lady and met Madam Gu!"

Gu Youyou's title made Lan Feirou tighten her fists. In front of outsiders, Gu Youyou still called herself Mrs. Gu. Was this clearly telling the outside world that she was not on good terms with her?
  Lan Feirou wanted to speak angrily, but Xiangxiu beside him quickly grabbed his wife's sleeve. Only then did Lan Feirou realize that she could only sit in her seat and sulk.

Mrs. Gu didn't care about Lan Feirou's state of mind at this time, and introduced to Gu Youyou with a smile:

"Youyou, this is Aunt Sui, who teaches the rules in the palace. She will enter the palace for the banquet in three days. You can study hard with Aunt Sui in Youlan Garden in the past two days! As for the clothes for the banquet, Grandma will definitely ask the best tailor in the capital to cut it for you!"

"Thank you, grandma. Youyou has met Aunt Sui!"

Gu Youyou saluted the old lady, then turned around and saluted Aunt Sui again.

Aunt Sui had long heard that the Gu family did not like their newborn daughter. Now that she saw it, she suddenly understood. She looked at Gu Youyou up and down and said with a smile:
  "Please get up quickly, Miss Youyou is really a wonderful person. Madam, you don't have to worry about the clothes. The prince even asked me to bring something with me when I came here this time!"

After finishing speaking, Aunt Sui said to the door:
  "Come in!"
