Pastoral Jiaoyi's mother and father are here

Chapter 179 Duanyang Festival (Part [-])
May [-]th, Duanyang Festival.

Gu Xiangsi lived in Shanghe Village for half a month, helped his fathers and villagers a lot, and then extended his help to several villages, letting them spread the word one by one, so that more people can be taught prevention and control on a large scale, and even Get rid of these pests now.

Previously, Xiling Yan went back to Xilan City several times due to business, and went to the palace to find Xiling Chu several times to discuss.

But Gu Xiangsi is really busy and has no time to do it. Now that it's the Dragon Boat Festival, she has to go back to her mother's house, so yesterday she bid farewell to those folks and returned to Xilan City.

When those folks sent her off, they politely gave them a lot of chickens, ducks, geese, and even various eggs, as well as a pair of domestic meat rabbits, and various fruits and vegetables, all fresh and tender.

Just like that, they pulled a cart full of things and went back to the King's Mansion.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, early in the morning, they went to visit their mother's house, and then went home to celebrate the festival at noon.

When they arrived at Duke Ningguo's mansion, Gu Xiangsi met her new bride and these two new siblings. A meeting ceremony was a must, and she was not the kind of stingy person.

The presents were still the same, Gu Yubai gave a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, and Gu Xiyun gave a set of gold inlaid jade hair, and two pieces of tribute satin.

As for Hua Qingwan?If she didn't give her a meeting gift first, how could she repay her?
Hua Qingwan thought of the pair of jade bracelets that Mrs. Han had sent before, and told her to keep them, so that it would be useful for Miss Duanwu to come back later.

She didn't think about it that much at the time, and her daughter really liked the pair of jade bracelets, so she asked her daughter to take them away.

Seeing everyone's strange eyes now, and Han's glaring at her angrily, she knew what a mistake she had made this time.

It turns out that the pair of jadeite bracelets sent by the Han family were used as a meeting gift for the eldest lady?
By the way, the pair of jade pendants that her son took away should be a gift for Xiaoshizi, the little princess, right?
This is really embarrassing, the first time she saw the child, she couldn't even get any gift...

Han shi was so angry that he was about to burst into flames. It wasn't that he didn't buy jewelry for them, but he was greedy for such a small meeting gift.

She had already seen the pair of emerald jade bracelets on Gu Xiyun's wrists, presumably the meeting gift for Jun'er and Baozhu was greedy by this gambler Gu Yubo, right?

hehe!It's really embarrassing for a family to do things.

Since Hua Qingwan didn't give her a meeting gift with the child, it would be difficult for Gu Xiangsi to pay her back.

Gu Xiyun is a greedy person, she can get good things from her mother wherever she likes, and now the elder sister only gave gifts to the two brothers and sisters, but not to the mother, so she looked at Gu Xiangsi with a smile and asked: " Eldest sister, where's my...mother's gift?"

Han's temper could not be tolerated anymore, she slapped the table and stood up, glared at the three of them with a sneer and sneered: "Since ancient times, there has been no rule that the elders do not give the younger generation a meeting gift first, but lick their faces and ask the younger generation to pay back. "

Hua Qingwan tugged at her daughter's sleeve to signal her to shut up, but she smiled apologetically at Gu Xiangsi and said, "I'm sorry Miss, I... I don't know the rules of the rich, so... I failed to prepare a meeting ceremony for you and the child."

"It's okay! There has to be an adaptation period for everything." Gu Xiangsi didn't want everyone to be unhappy because of this matter, so she simply asked Chu Qing to hand the gift box that Gu Xiyun was staring at at the nurse who served Hua Qingwan. Here, this took the child to give her mother a gift.

When Gu Xiyun saw that her mother's box was bigger than hers, she felt elated. This eldest sister is worthy of marrying a prince, and she is generous in her actions.

And her brother-in-law is also really good-looking. When she saw her for the first time, she thought it was a god who descended to earth!

pity!My brother-in-law already has a big sister, and I heard that he still favors the big sister, so it is impossible for her to have a chance.

After all, she also has self-knowledge. With her face, even Gu Chenxi, a stinky girl, can't compare to her, let alone a big sister who is as beautiful as the aunt.

"Grandmother, this is for you, isn't it pretty?" Baozhu was holding a box in her arms all the time, inside was a small wooden sculpture, the base was a wooden board, and some people were dancing dragons on it, and there were many people watching the excitement around.

Ning Yezi stretched out her hand to take this extremely exquisite wood carving. Others might not recognize it, but she could recognize it. Among the crowd, there were people like them from back then!

It was Feng Qiji, this wood carving was given to her by Feng Qiji, he...

"It's just a woodcarving, do you need to like it so much?" Gu Xiyun whispered, thinking that these rich people are really strange, they don't like golden gold, but like piles of rotten wood.

Gu Chenxi has been staring at Gu Xiyun. When she heard her say these ignorant words, she immediately curled her lips with a sneer and sarcastically said: "If you are ignorant, you are ignorant. Just by looking at it, you can tell that this wood carving is Qinan agarwood. If you don't think about it, you don't know." Know what is Qinan, so-called Qinan! It is only in a large piece of top-quality agarwood wood that there is such a small piece of Qinan agarwood, every inch of wood is precious, and sometimes it is difficult to buy!"

"What? Just this piece of broken wood, every inch of wood is precious?" Gu Yubo stretched out his finger to the wood carving in Ning Yezi's hand in surprise, and was glared at by Han Shi, so he withdrew his hand. He remembered, Pointing at people like that is disrespectful.

"What's all the fuss about? My mother is the elder sister's biological mother. Is it possible that my daughter just gave her mother an ordinary wood carving as a gift?" Gu Chenxi glanced at Gu Yubai in disgust, and how could it be proper to bluff in public?
snort!In her opinion, this Gu Yubai and Gu Xiyun had to teach them how to be polite.

Gu Yubo didn't care about Gu Chenxi's contempt, he thought so, the aunt is the eldest sister's biological mother, as a daughter, it is impossible to give a gift to the biological mother, which is cheaper than the gifts received by them, right?
Lord Xiling also gave his grandmother a gift, which was not an expensive thing, but a very lively picture of the Duanyang Festival, which he drew himself, which is light on gift and affectionate.

Ning Yezi opened the scroll and looked at the richly colored scroll. She smiled and praised her little grandson, "Juner is really good at life. At such a young age, he can draw such a lively and extraordinary picture of the Duanyang Festival."

"Grandmother likes it." Lord Xiling has always treated his respected elders with humility and understanding. He has been painting this painting for four or five days, and luckily it was finished before the Dragon Boat Festival.

"Baozhu is also amazing, grandma, look at it." Baozhu learned a little magic trick from Gu Xiangsi, turned around and waved a small handkerchief, and turned into a pomegranate flower.

"Hey! Our orbs are so powerful, they can do tricks." Ning Yezi hugged the little grandson who rushed over, bent down and lowered her head, and asked the little girl to put the pomegranate flower in her hair.

Seeing her mother's happy mouth closing, Gu Xiangsi gave the ghost girl a look of appreciation, assuming she could coax people.

As soon as Xiling Yan saw Baozhu's ceremony, she knew that Feng Qiji had painstakingly taught Baozhu to do these things.

"What are you talking about? Such excitement?" Yu Liuzhao brought Gu Xiyue into the door with gifts, and as soon as they entered the hall, they were all smiling happily.

"I said third brother-in-law, you don't let anyone tell you when you come, do you really think this is your home?" Gu Xiangsi wanted to hurt him when she saw Yu Liuzhao.

"Tsk! Look at what the elder sister said, isn't this my house? Could it be that, since when have I become an outsider?" Yu Liuzhao has a thick skin, and he is not afraid of his sister-in-law.

Gu Xiyue secretly pinched his waist to be weak again, what are you talking about?Don't be ashamed.

When Shen saw her daughter and son-in-law coming, her eyes lit up a lot!
Yu Liuzhao took Gu Xiyue to meet Ning Yezi first, and then turned to meet his mother-in-law.

The etiquette prepared by Yu Liuzhao is still very particular, Ning Yezi's aunt's is more expensive, but Shen's is more delicate.

Shen looked at her ruddy daughter who seemed to be gaining weight, but she was more and more satisfied with this son-in-law.

As soon as Gu Xiyun saw that her third sister's husband-in-law was also so suave, she turned her head and asked Gu Chenxi in a low voice: "From now on in our house... that uncle, do you want to be good-looking and good at family affairs? ?”

Gu Chenxi looked down on Gu Xiyun, an illegitimate daughter, from the bottom of her heart. She answered her question, but her tone was extremely sarcastic: "Fourth sister, eldest sister! She is the eldest daughter of our Duke Ning's mansion. The one who gets married is naturally a noble person like the eldest brother-in-law. As for the third sister? The third brother-in-law has taken a fancy to her, and she can be the eldest concubine of the Zhenxihou Mansion. As for me? I am the granddaughter of the emperor's aunt "Your majesty, that's my cousin. Do you think I might marry too lowly in the future? As for you? You don't need to tell me, everyone knows that you are... You say, these high-born families who value birth, Will you want a daughter-in-law like you?"

"You!" Gu Xiyun angrily raised her hand to hit Gu Chenxi again, this bitch, how dare she belittle her so much, even if she suffers another [-] hands today, she still has to deal with her...

"Gu Xiyun, what are you going to do again!" Wang stood up angrily and shouted angrily, this Gu Xiyun is too much, they are all here!She actually wanted to do something to Chen'er again.

Hua Qingwan pulled her daughter away in time. Today is a holiday, and all the princes and sons are here. Her daughter dares to slap her sister so presumptuously. Does this mean that her reputation is not bad enough?
Gu Xiyun's eyes turned red with grievance and roared angrily: "Why are you relying on me again? She is obviously wicked and cursed me for not being able to marry into a wealthy family. If I don't beat her, how can I express this anger in my heart?"

Everyone looked at the talkative Gu Chenxi with condemning eyes, mocking their sister like this, she really looked like a sister.

As soon as Gu Chenxi saw that everyone looked at her like this, she really didn't learn the "Female Ring" that made her restrain her temper in vain. She lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "I know I was wrong, so I'll go back and copy "The Female Ring."

Yu Liuzhao's eyes widened in surprise, and he watched Gu Chenxi, who had bowed and retired, leave. He turned his head and whispered to Gu Xiyue, "Did your second sister take the wrong medicine recently? Your temperament has changed too much."

Gu Xiyue heard from her mother before that the second sister was recently sent by her mother to learn etiquette and rules. If the second sister is disobedient, two retired nuns in the palace will beat the second sister. They taught her a lesson for a while. It seems that I have learned a lot and retreated a bit.

However, why is this fourth younger sister so aggressive, she will strike at the slightest disagreement, she looks like a real murderer.

Hua Qingwan walked over as soon as she turned around, knelt down and bowed her head to admit her mistake: "It's all because I didn't teach Yun'er well, so please calm down my eldest sister. I will punish Yun'er severely when I go back, and I will never let her be so disrespectful again in the future." Second Miss."

Gu Xiyun's eyes were red with grievance, but her brother held her arm and motioned her not to speak. I didn't see the whole room full of people, and no one spoke at this time?

Ning Yezi looked at Hua Qingwan who was kneeling and begging for her daughter for a while, then raised her hand and sighed, "Forget it, take her back."

"Thank you, big sister." Hua Qingwan kowtowed to Ning Yezi, then got up and left with her two children.

After the three of them left, Mrs. Han frowned and couldn't help saying: "Sister, let's not talk about girl Xiyun's background, just talk about her rude and aggressive temper that can't be changed. It will be difficult to find a better family in the future." of."

"Then find someone to teach her the rules. Within a month, she must know how to restrain her words and deeds." Ning Yezi's face became a little ugly, and Gu Yun didn't know when to stop her breath. As soon as possible before the beginning of autumn, make an appointment for Gu Chenxi, who is not young, and Gu Xiyun, who is fourteen this year, and the marriage must also be arranged.

Gu Yusheng is a man, even if he gets married in his 20s, it's fine.

But if a girl's family doesn't decide on a marriage, she won't be able to talk about a good family later.

Han's face was troubled, he hesitated for a while, and still looked at Ning Yezi, frowning tightly: "Elder sister, although girl Chenxi is wrong in her words, what she said is right, where is girl Xiyun's background, right? There may be a wealthy family... who will marry her as his first wife."

Even a bastard would look down on an illegitimate daughter like Gu Xiyun.

Why doesn't Ning Yezi understand that illegitimate children have always been looked down upon by others, and Gu Xiyun is someone who loves to compare herself with others, once all the sisters marry well in the future, she will definitely not be reconciled, and there may be another riot at that time .

"If Xiyun doesn't change her temper well, it will be troublesome if she marries into an ordinary family in the future." Han is very worried about this, not to mention that Gu Xiyun's status will not be able to stand on the stage, only her temper and upbringing won't hurt her. It may be suitable to be the mistress of a family, and even if you marry into a wealthy family, it is difficult to get along with sisters-in-law who are well-born and educated.

But Xiangsi and Xiyue... one is already the mistress of the palace, but the other will be the mistress of the family sooner or later.

Gu Chenxi's maternal grandmother is Princess Huijia, who is a daughter of the Wang family. If Wang is so obsessed with becoming Gu Yun's concubine, she will definitely not be able to let Gu Chenxi marry into a family and become an ordinary woman. young married woman.

Even if it is a low marriage, Princess Huijia definitely hopes that Gu Chenxi can be the matriarch of the family when she enters the mansion.

Therefore, Gu Xiyun will definitely make a fuss in the future, because the three sisters are all the mistresses of a family, but she can only marry some concubines as wives. With her heart, how can she be reconciled?
After seeing this new younger sister, Gu Xiangsi also had a headache for her mother.He has little ability and a lot of temper.It is also a woman from a bad family background and arrogant, such a woman, it is really troublesome to talk about kissing.

how to say!She suddenly became rich and considered herself superior to others, in fact!The identity of her illegitimate daughter, but no one can look up to her. If she keeps thinking too high of herself like this, with her eyes higher than the top, in the future, whether she will be high or low, and Gu Yun is dead, it is difficult for her to settle for a marriage. .

When Gu Yun is really dead and her marriage has not yet been settled, then after the three-year filial piety period expires, she will be seventeen, and it will be even more difficult to talk about marriage.

I hope that Liu Niang is not stupid, and she can persuade her daughter with a higher heart than the sky!
The two married women left with their wives and children after the boxing gifts were delivered.

Not long after they left, Ning Yezi asked someone to set up a meal in Qinghui Hall.

Mrs. Gu also came forward, the family always have dinner together during the holidays.

Hua Qingwan also brought her pair of children to Qinghui Hall. There were six tables in Qinghui Hall, and there were no screens. They were all a family, and there was nothing to shy away from having a reunion dinner.

Ning Yezi and Mrs. Gu were at the same table, and there were only their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at this table. Most of the dishes served were hot dishes, with very few cold dishes. After all, Mrs. Gu was old and had a bad stomach, so she couldn't eat cold dishes.

Gu Yuhan has already married, so they naturally sit at the same table as a family, with wives, concubines and children at the same table, there are also six or seven people!
The three brothers Gu Yusheng, Gu Yuyan, and Gu Yubai sat at the same table.

Gu Chenxi, Gu Xiyun, the two sisters sat at the same table.

The four of Han and the others sat at a table, and after a meal, Hua Qingwan was quite absent-minded.

Gu Yubo looked enviously at Gu Yuhan's table for a while, then turned his head and toasted Gu Yusheng with a smile and said, "Second brother, I'm toasting you, I hope that there are many adults, so don't be annoyed by my previous rude behavior. "

"Between brothers, there is nothing to worry about. The fourth brother doesn't have to take this matter too seriously." Gu Yusheng smiled lightly and took a cup, took a sip of bamboo leaf green wine, put down the white porcelain wine glass, and tasted the Kung Pao chicken with chopsticks Ding.

Holding the wine glass in one hand, Gu Yubo looked at this elegant and noble second brother, and really felt that they were far apart.

When Gu Yuyan saw that the boy was staring at his second brother again, he kicked him under the table to make him restrain himself, and don't force him to goug his eyes.

Gu Yubai was kicked by Gu Yuyan, and he turned his head to meet Gu Yuyan's murderous eyes, he was so frightened that he lowered his head and took a sip of wine to subdue his shock.

This third brother is really a person who cannot be judged by his appearance. He looks like an elegant young man, but when he walks around with his fists, he is more scared to death than the bullies in their town.

No matter how pampered and willful Gu Chenxi is, there are still some etiquettes from childhood.

While eating sweet and sour pork ribs, Gu Xiyun glared angrily at Gu Chenxi, who was mocking her. If her mother hadn't repeatedly told her not to cause trouble, she would pour all the food on the table onto Gu Chenxi's head now.

Gu Chenxi used to eat, and usually couldn't talk. However, she and Gu Xiyun's sisters had a problem. Seeing Gu Xiyun staring at her so viciously as she gnawed ribs, she stopped drinking soup, approached her in a low voice and said, "Fourth sister, Gao When a girl from a wealthy family eats, she must not let her hands and mouth get dirty."

Gu Xiyun glared at Gu Chenxi fiercely, holding a piece of ribs in his hand, biting them with sharp teeth, not to mention how vicious it was.

　I wish my dear friends who drink porridge and snort during the Laba Festival will be healthy and delicious.
