Rudonghai

Chapter 126
When night fell, Gu Yunxiao couldn't wait to take out the wooden flute and play it, and stood in front of the window waiting for Hai Dongqing.

Who knew that the letter paper was sweating in her palm, and Hai Dongqing hadn't been seen yet.

Could it be that there was too little blowing this time, or that Costin was far away, so he couldn't hear it?
It wasn't until Gu Yunxiao was lying on the table that he almost fell asleep that Hai Dongqing arrived late, with Xiao Xilin's handwritten letter on his lap, with only a few words on it: 'Eat carefully'.

Eat carefully?

She felt a chill go down her spine, and she couldn't help frowning while pinching the letter.

Hai Dongqing walked back and forth in front of Gu Yunxiao, seeing that he failed to attract her attention, he flapped his wings unhappily, almost touching her cheek.

Only then did Gu Yunxiao come to his senses, knowing that Kui'er was upset, he quickly took out the jerky and tore it up to feed it, and then put the letter he wrote on its lap: "I'm sorry to trouble you, go back Be careful."

Hai Dongqing waved his wings and flew away quickly.

She didn't dare to leave a note, so she quickly threw it into the brazier, watched it burn to ashes, and then fell asleep on the couch.

When I woke up the next day, Gu Yunxiao told Liu Xu: "Go to the kitchen to get food from now on, don't take the portion that the cook left for Xiangheyuan, go get something from another yard. If the cook blames me, just blame me If you want to eat something else, feel free to find a reason, I will take care of everything.”

Liu Xu was baffled by this, so she obediently went to the kitchen, spotted the stewed eggs and snow swallows in Diecui Garden, put them in the suitable box and brought them back without saying a word.

As soon as the cook turned around, she lost both important things, and was so frightened that she almost lost her wits.

I heard that it was taken by the maid of Xiangheyuan, but I probably didn't see that it was specially prepared for Gu Yunyan.Knowing that the two sisters don't have a deep relationship, it's impossible for them to quarrel over this matter. In the end, it's the cook who is unlucky.

The cook lamented that it was very unlucky, so she hurriedly asked people to take out all the remaining ingredients and make another one, at least she managed to get rid of Qing Ya.

Who knew that Liu Xu took away the two dishes of He Gui Yuan's dishes the next day, and the cook beat her chest and stomped her feet, secretly wondering if the third girl of the Gu family did it on purpose, because I offended her on weekdays?
Gu Yunxiao couldn't take care of the cook, and Liu Xu got the dishes in different ways, but no one came to Xianghe Garden, so she became even more unscrupulous.

Anyway, there must be a reason for Xiao Xilin to tell her to pay attention to eating. It's better to take it from east to west. No one can guess which yard she took from the next day, so it's not easy to do it.

After Ji Jiaqian heard about it, she came over to take care of it: "Third girl, if there is anything you want to eat, just tell the cook. If your maid goes to the kitchen to make trouble, the cook will probably get sick from anger."

Gu Yunxiao's face was powdered, she looked a little pale, and she replied listlessly: "I don't know why these days, but I always suddenly want to eat something else. Liu Xu is also worried about me, so I went to the kitchen to eat all the things I like. Take it back indiscriminately. I'm used to it, but it's causing trouble for my mother."

Ji Jiaqian was taken aback for a moment, she knew that when a woman is pregnant, her taste will be different every day, sometimes she wants sour food, and sometimes she wants sweet food.

It's just a little food, and it's not like the kitchen can't get it out.Just take away a plate or two of food from other yards, and just cook it again, without making Gu Yunxiao unable to eat or get full.

She said with concern again: "There is something wrong with your body, do you want the doctor to come and have a look?"

"Except for not eating well, there is nothing else. Recently, my mother has been busy around, and I heard that some distinguished guests have come to the door, so it is not good to disappoint me."

Gu Yunxiao's thoughtfulness relieved Ji Jiaqian. Originally, Master Gu wanted her to ground her feet, but now she was ill and happened to be out of the yard, which saved Ji Jiaqian from embarrassment.

Otherwise, what reason is there to ground the feet, because Xiao Xilin is going to visit as a guest, and he is going to let Gu Yunyan spend a little more time alone with him, so Gu Yunxiao won't come out to disturb him?
This reason made Ji Jiaqian flustered with embarrassment, she was not Master Gu, and she didn't have much love for Gu Yunyan.

It's up to Mr. Gu to pamper and pity him, but Ji Jiaqian is not him. She can't say that she wants to ground a daughter who has done nothing wrong for no reason.

"Since that's the case, Sanya should rest in the yard. Let the cook make whatever you want to eat, and let her continue cooking until you like it. If you like the dishes from other yards, just take them away. That is, I will ask the cook to make a few more later, anyway, it is not short of this money, so I won’t starve you.”

Ji Jiaqian's joke made Gu Yunxiao smile embarrassedly: "Thank you, mother."

"It's all a family, thank you!" Ji Jiaqian waved her hand, and the matter was settled. The cook couldn't laugh or cry when she heard about it, so she could only bite the bullet and cook more dishes, so that Gu Yunxiao could pick it up One or two discs, it's better to go and get other yards.

It's a pity that things backfired, Gu Yunxiao seemed to deliberately oppose the cook, no matter how many good dishes the cook tried her best to cook, in the end Liu Xu only stared at the other yards to get them back to the Xianghe Garden.

The cook had no choice but to prepare a few more for other courtyards, so that Gu Yunxiao's eccentricity could be satisfied.

After a few days of living in peace, Gu Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Xu is very keen on secretly stealing dishes from other yards, staring at them like a little mouse every day, selling delicious food quickly, and no one can stop them.

It was also the same, she found out that the food in Diecui Garden was not bad at all compared to Hegui Garden, or even better, so she couldn't help complaining for Gu Yunxiao: "In the past, the servants went directly to the kitchen to get food, and they didn't notice that the girl and the second girl The treatment is really different. The cook is also a flattering person, which is too much."

Gu Yunxiao shook his head, but didn't take it seriously.Master Gu is so eccentric, and Gu Xuanyi only thinks about Gu Yunyan, the younger sister, and the servants are all ruthless, and who is favored and who is not, can be seen at a glance.

It is human nature to treat Gu Yunyan like Master Gu.Master Gu and Gu Xuanyi also knew about it, and if no one spoke, it was tacit consent.

If it weren't for Ji Jiaqian's presence, Gu Yunxiao's rogue continued to take away food from other yards, the cook would have been in trouble long ago, why would she be so helpless as she is now to use all the work at the bottom of the box and not care about it?
Over the years, the cook has often asked herself for money, and if she wanted to eat something else, it would be impossible to send it to Xiangheyuan without money.

Gu Yunxiao's move, why didn't it make the cook suffer a little bit and let out a bad breath?
She smiled and said, "You girl, just pick the most expensive and hard-to-cook dishes, I'm afraid the cook will jump."

"That's what she deserves, who dared to neglect the girl." Liu Xu was still upset, and after calculations, Gu Yunxiao became the lowest in the Gu family and the poorest in food.It is already considered light to teach the cook this little lesson.

Suddenly she leaned over and said in a low voice: "Girl, I heard the burning girl muttering, the distinguished guest here is actually Mrs. Xiao."

Gu Yunxiao said that he was sick and stayed in the yard, didn't he miss the opportunity to meet Xiao Xilin?

"Silly girl, dad obviously didn't want me to leave the yard. I followed the trend and claimed the illness first. I didn't want him to find some unreasonable reasons to make me feel uncomfortable." Gu Yunxiao sighed. If she hadn't seen it, she would How can you hide in the yard and dare not go out?

It's better to be soft first, otherwise, who knows what reason Master Gu will find to torment himself so as to satisfy Gu Yunyan?
Liu Xu suddenly realized, and said that her girl would not come early or late, but when Xiao Xilin was about to come to the door, she complained of illness: "Wouldn't it be that I missed it, it's a pity."

"It's nothing to regret, this Hongmen banquet is not that simple." She thought to herself, this is Gu Yunyan's last chance, she wonders how to keep Xiao Xilin's eyes, so as to fulfill her wish?
The autumn wind is getting cooler, and the banquet is not placed in the water pavilion, but in the pavilion in the backyard.

Ji Jiaqian deliberately sent Ji Qingrou back to the Hou's Mansion, so as not to ruin Gu Yunyan's good deed and make Master Gu unhappy.

Mrs. Hou simply left him for a few days, and she was able to teach Ji Qingrou a lot of rules and tricks in the back room, so as not to be played around by a little girl again.

Master Gu was very satisfied with Ji Jiaqian's actions. Without Ji Qingrou, Gu Yunxiao obediently stayed in the yard and did not come out. Everything was ready and only owed Dongfeng.

Before coming here, Madam Zhen Guohou had secretly mentioned to Xiao Xilin that Ji Keran might ask to marry Gu Yunxiao.

My nephew's expression remained unchanged, he seemed to be indifferent, but he agreed to come to Gu's residence without hesitation.

Mrs. Zhen Guohou couldn't figure out what this nephew was thinking for a while, so she simply let him go.Xiao Xilin is knowledgeable and resourceful, much better than her back home woman, so it's not her turn to worry about it.

She just got out of the carriage, when she heard the sound of horseshoes from far to near, looking back, what a coincidence, Ji Keran also came to Gu's residence, could it be that he is also a guest?
Seeing Ji Jiaqian's surprised expression, she obviously didn't know it beforehand.

Ji Keran got off his horse to greet everyone, and said with a smile: "I heard that Miss Gu San was ill, so I came to visit her. I just got a hundred-year-old ginseng, which is very good for the girl's family, so I decided to personally You can rest assured when you send it over.”

Mrs. Zhen Guohou smiled, which was somewhat interesting. Ji Keran's tone was familiar, as if Miss Gu San was already his little wife, caring for everything.

It is estimated that he is used to being strong, and no one in An Guohou's mansion would dare to make him feel uncomfortable, so if he likes it, he should treat it as something in his pocket?
Ji Jiaqian's expression was rather ugly, as if she was complaining that Ji Keran came uninvited, and she didn't tell her in advance to prepare.

Master Gu frowned even more, for fear that with the addition of Ji Keran, something would happen to Gu Yunyan's affairs: "We are guests at the door, so please come to Mr. Ji. The third girl is resting in the yard, and it is not convenient to see guests. The old man accepts this kindness for Sanya."

Ji Keran cupped his hands politely and said, "I'm being rude. I just got this ginseng and I couldn't wait to send it over. I'm bothering Mr. Gu."

He knew that the Gu family wanted to entertain a distinguished guest, and he knew that this distinguished guest was Mrs. Xiao.
