Rudonghai

Chapter 226 Gifts
Seeing him leaving in a hurry, Qiu Hong covered her face with her wide sleeves and said displeasedly, "Do I look like a man-eating beast? Why can I run faster than a rabbit?"

Qiu Lu came from the door, raised her eyebrows and said: "Who told you to scare him, but the Gu family is really annoying, and they sent one after another, it's endless."

"That's right, when we kicked my wife out of the mansion back then, Gu's family probably didn't expect that now only my wife is left to see him off." Qiu Hong smiled sarcastically, thinking that Mr. Gu's current downfall is not just his own fault?

Well, the eldest son raises the five grains regardless of the grain, knows nothing except the wind, flowers, snow and moon, and doesn't know how to manage the house, and spoils Gu Yunyan too much.In the end, he was killed by his confidant, not his own fault, who could be blamed?

The same is true for Gu Yunyan, who has a beautiful skin but is full of bad water, extremely jealous, and even wants to take the life of her own sister if something goes wrong.Later, he framed him again and again, and finally tossed himself to death, which finally stopped.

Fortunately, Gu Yunxiao never liked Master Gu, so his temper was not spoiled.Otherwise, wouldn't there be no normal person in this Gu mansion?

Qiu Hong curled her lips, thinking that Master Gu deserved it!

Gu Yunxiao was picking up the fabric in her hand, and the child came suddenly, so she should also prepare things slowly.Whether it is the clothes on the child or the close-fitting items such as shoes and socks, the longevity lock should also be locked, not to mention that Mrs. Zhen Guohou is going to get a gold collar. After all, she is going to be an aunt. too shabby.

She couldn't help laughing, thinking of the huge gold collar hanging around the child's neck, it might be too heavy to lift her head.

Seeing Madam Zhen Guohou's high spirits, Gu Yunxiao couldn't stop her, so she whispered a few words to Xiao Xilin in private.

Xiao Xilin also followed Mrs. Zhen Guohou's tossing around, but she had to tell Zhen Guohou not to make the gold collar too big or too heavy, otherwise the child would not be able to wear it.

The ceremony is light and the affection is heavy. This gift is precious enough, and there is no need to make it so heavy that it will make the child's neck crooked.

Seeing autumn red and autumn green coming back together, Gu Yunxiao put down the cloth in his hand and asked, "Who is coming outside?"

"It's just for Mrs. Taifu's congratulations. I don't know how many times I've come here. It's really annoying." Qiu Hong said vaguely, then picked up the fabric and said, "Ma'am, this color and material are good. The master is the best at making clothes."

Gu Yunxiao looked at her steadfastly, making Qiuhong a little uncomfortable: "Madam, what are you doing staring at this servant, could it be that there is something dirty on your servant's face?"

"There are no dirty things, but there are four big characters written on the forehead?" Gu Yunxiao smiled and shook his head.

Qiuhong reached out and touched her forehead, wondering: "It's written in big characters, what kind of characters?"

"Nonsense!" Gu Yunxiao stared at her, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you taking the initiative to say it, or let Qiu Lu say it?"

Qiu Hong drooped her head, she didn't expect her wife to be so shrewd, she could tell at a glance that she was lying.She obviously spoke perfectly, so why did Gu Yunxiao see it?

"How did Madam find out? The maid thought she was careful enough to cover it up."

Gu Yunxiao said helplessly: "You little miser, people come to congratulate you on weekdays, and every time you don't complain about the softness of receiving gifts, you also carefully record everything, make a list, and send it to the warehouse in a hurry. This time He came back not long after, and he didn't tell me that what the other party sent was something valuable at the door, wouldn't he be lying?"

Qiu Lu covered her mouth and snickered, Qiu Hong gave her an annoyed look. This person knew that he had made a mistake, so why didn't he have the heart to remind him?
"Good madam, I don't want to bother you with those bad things, so I decided to keep it a secret." Qiu Hong hesitated for a while, and then said lightly about Master Gu.

Gu Yunxiao was taken aback, he didn't expect his eldest brother to die during the period of time he was asleep.

What's more, the dead coward was not because of illness or anything else, but was killed by his confidants and outsiders.

It's too embarrassing for a dignified court official to be killed without being discovered, and let the thief escape.

Gu Yunxiao sighed softly, thinking that Mr. Gu had always loved his son and daughter, but the two of them left one after another, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and he must have felt uncomfortable: "Pick some mild medicinal materials from the warehouse and give them to the Gu family. Sending it over will be considered as a complete filial piety of my daughter."

Qiu Hong pouted, and said unhappily: "In the storeroom are the precious medicinal materials that the young master and Mrs. Zhen Guohou have collected from everywhere. Is it so cheap?"

She fights for her wife's injustice, and no one should take advantage of this eccentric father!

Gu Yunxiao smiled slyly: "It's just sending some medicinal materials, you miser, you are more stingy than me. Just ignore it, who knows how people outside the house will arrange me. There are not many people who know about the Gu family. But I dare to say anything. I don’t care about my reputation, but I can’t implicate my husband.”

And it's just sending some medicinal materials, it's just a little effort.It is really cost-effective to block Yoyo's mouth.

Qiu Lu understood, and quickly responded: "Madam, let this matter be handled by slaves."

"That's fine, Qiuhong is so frizzy, I can feel more at ease when I leave it to you." Gu Yunxiao saw that Qiuhong was a little bit unconvinced with her mouth pouting, and said with a smile: "But Qiuhong has always been lively, so stay by my side , can also make me happy, I can't do without her for a while, so naturally I can only let Qiu Lu go for a walk."

Hearing this, Qiu Hong immediately beamed and smiled, Qiu Lu turned her face away, she was really speechless to this girl who opened a dyeing workshop after giving some color.

It's just that Gu Yunxiao's meaning is very clear. Qiulu's delivery of medicinal materials can be described as mighty. He called four tall and strong Xiao Jiawei, and hired eight bodyguards. They walked slowly for half an hour. It was only then that the things were sent to Gu's house.

The servants of Gu's mansion were very surprised when they saw the medicinal materials in the carriage.

Qiu Lu didn't bother to see Mr. Gu, she just said: "This is my wife's kindness, I hope Mr. Gu can get well as soon as possible."

Naturally, these words were also spoken at the gate of the Gu family, with a loud voice, and everyone heard what should be heard, so Qiu Lu led the people away in a mighty manner.

She didn't miss the servants who were peeking out in the corner, there were quite a few of them, obviously there were quite a lot of people who wanted to see the jokes of the Gu family.

It is said to be a joke about the Gu family, but it is more about Mrs. Xiao's joke.

Qiu Lu couldn't help secretly praising Gu Yunxiao's trick. The medicinal materials in a mere carriage can directly stop the sins of everyone, so why not do it?
She went back to the mansion and reported it to Gu Yunxiao, who only nodded and did not continue to ask about the matter.

She was always at ease when Qiu Lu was doing business, and she didn't have much to ask. Instead, she pointed to the three or four pieces of fabric in front of her, showing a sad face: "This color is too bright, and the fabric is not as soft as the one next to it. I really don't know which one to choose."

After hearing this, Qiu Lu said with a smile: "This servant thinks that these are all used for tailoring clothes, after all, the little master's clothes are indispensable."

Gu Yunxiao always wants to give her children the best things, maybe this is a common problem of being a mother just now, but she got into the wrong place instead: "You are right, the materials are all picked by my aunt, and they must be suitable, but I am hesitant Undecided, wasted a lot of effort, delayed."

Qiuhong took all these materials down, she had a needleworker to work on, and she also planned to make some close-fitting clothes for the little master herself.It's just that thinking about her horrible female celebrity, maybe Qiulu will do it for her in the end.

But drawing patterns is my forte, and the clothes I made with Qiulu can be regarded as a heartfelt effort.

Qiuhong was drawing a few patterns, Gu Yunxiao was discussing with her in a low voice, she seemed to be in good spirits, and heard that Mrs. Zhen Guohou came to the door.

Before she had time to get up, Mrs. Zhen Guohou had already entered in a hurry, and pressed Gu Yunxiao on the soft couch: "My family, you are welcome, what are you talking about? You are weak, and the imperial doctor said that you should lie on the couch more. Come on, you don’t need to get up.”

Mrs. Zhen Guohou took a sip of the tea from Qiuhong, and couldn't help sighing: "I'm so tired, I have to run away to Sanya, it's a bit clean."

Gu Yunxiao was at a loss when he heard it, and didn't know whether he should ask, he hesitated and said: "What is the residence of the Marquis of Zhenguo busy with, to make my aunt so troubled?"

She thought carefully that it was already the end of the new year, because An Guohou rebelled, the palace suffered heavy casualties, and many people died. People, it's fine to have a lively reunion dinner with the family.

There are no major festivals after the new year, and it is only a few days before the Lantern Festival, but Mrs. Zhen Guohou is rubbing her forehead with a tired face, seemingly busy with her feet not touching the ground.

"What else can there be, it's nothing more than being a matchmaker to check." Mrs. Zhen Guohou frowned. She was worried about Xiao Xilin at the beginning, and she looked around, and she knew all the good girls in Beijing.

Who knew that in the end, Xiao Xilin was useless, so she let it go. How could she have thought that it would suddenly come in handy now, catching herself by surprise?
"Third girl should know that the second prince was young before, and the emperor didn't intend to make an announcement so early. But when things happened in the palace, the emperor seemed to be worried, so he started to ask people to choose a concubine for the second prince!"

Mrs. Zhen Guohou shook her head, and sighed again: "Almost all the female family members of the important ministers in Beijing have died this time, and the second prince's marriage can only be chosen from families above the fourth rank in Beijing."

Gu Yunxiao understands that Mrs. Zhen Guohou is most familiar with families with girls in Beijing. The emperor probably wanted to hand over this matter to her, so he was so busy that his aunt was dizzy: "There are many capable people." Lao, the emperor thinks that my aunt can take on this important task, so he has the heart to entrust it."

Although the matter of choosing a concubine is not big or small, if one inadvertently picks up troublesome and restless girls, the second prince will be harmed.
