Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 43
Ever since Gu Qingyang played chess with Mrs. Du that day, he came to visit Du's house from time to time when he was free, and visited Mrs. Du once in the inner courtyard, but Mrs. Wang and Du Yanyun were not at home that time, but most of the time He just stayed in the outer courtyard, but Xiao Huaisu had seen him a few times.

"You girl think far and wide!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Du smiled and hugged Xiao Huaisu in her arms, "It's not because of your grandfather's advice, this brain has really opened up." After she finished speaking, she felt a little regretful, "I only tell you this, if Talk to Sister Yu, I'm afraid she won't understand at all!"

Xiao Huaisu pursed her lips and smiled, "Actually, I am quite envious of Third Cousin, who has nothing to worry about and carefree."

Mrs. Du twitched the corners of her lips but didn't speak anymore, but her eyes were deep and she didn't know what she was thinking.

After taking a nap after lunch, Du Yanyu came to look for Xiao Huaisu, Qingmei also held a black lacquered wood carved box, she didn't know what was inside.

The two of them nestled on the kang by the window, and Du Yanyu mysteriously opened the black box, which turned out to be full of pearls and emerald flowers, and the room was filled with brilliance.

Xiao Huaisu looked at it carefully for a while, and felt that it seemed to have been modified by someone, and the style was a bit strange. When she looked at Du Yanyu again, she already raised her small face proudly, "It's beautiful, this is a new year's headgear. Changed a few things, you can see if it suits you, just pick some." But he generously pushed the box to Xiao Huaisu.

Xiao Huaisu casually twisted a butterfly hairpin, which looked familiar.

According to the rules in spring, she also got a lot of headgear and clothes, but she was in the filial period, and these bright things were not very useful, after a glance, Qiu Ling took them away.

Now looking at the butterfly hairpin in her hand, she always felt that something was different, but she couldn't tell for a while, so Du Yanyu smiled and pointed it out to her, "Here, I added some sequins to the wings of the butterfly. Do you feel that it is more shining?" He said excitedly holding it in his hand to show Xiao Huaisu, "I also think that the tentacles are in the way, bending the gold wire, isn't it very unique?"

Xiao Huaisu nodded, then smiled and said: "I think there is something different, but I didn't expect the third cousin to be so dexterous."

Du Yanyu smiled sweetly, "If my cousin has any dissatisfaction with jewelry in the future, feel free to come to me." He glanced left and right, and whispered in Xiao Huaisu's ear: "Although I am learning embroidery now, but I don't want to worry about it." I like to play with jewelry..."

Xiao Huaisu smiled knowingly. The brothers and sisters of the Du family seemed to have some special hobbies, but she actually thought it was quite good.

Although people live within the rules, if they can keep their own heart, they will feel sweet when they recall it in the future.

The two sisters laughed for a while, seeing the time came, Xiao Huaisu went to the small Buddhist hall to listen to Mrs. Du's chanting, and copied a volume of Buddhist scriptures along the way. This has almost become a daily habit and cannot be shaken.

After dinner, Mrs. Wang and Du Yanyun came back from Duke Jing's mansion. Seeing their smiling faces, today's banquet seemed to go well.

Mrs. Wang took the tea from Xiangling and moistened her mouth slightly, then smiled and said: "I have brought my mother-in-law's words, and Mrs. Gu is still asking you how you are." With a glance, there was a smile on the corner of her lips, "Mrs. Guo took my hand and talked for a long time, and praised Sister Yun for being smart and generous... And speaking of your birthday this month, I must personally come to congratulate you!"

Mrs. Du was slightly startled when she heard this, and her eyebrows frowned unconsciously, "It's not my birthday this year, and I just wanted to get my family together, how could she know?"

Wang's face froze, and his expression was a little unnatural, "It's the daughter-in-law who is quick to talk, and accidentally slipped her mouth." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xiao Huaisu, "I didn't expect that mother-in-law's birthday is only one day away from Huaisu's. , Mrs. Guo heard that the son mentioned Huai Su, so she asked me again, and I'm all to blame for this!" After finishing speaking, she looked at Mrs. Du with an apologetic face.

"Forget it," Mrs. Du waved her hand, glanced at Mrs. Wang, pondered for a while, and then said: "Since the words have been agreed, then you should think about what to do, don't be too extravagant, Just invite someone who is close to you, your father-in-law is in that position, and there is no chance for others to give us gifts if they have nothing to do, if the news spreads, I'm afraid it will be bad."

When she said this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but blush. She naturally had her own plans. It happened that Mrs. Jing Guogong thought that Du Yanyun was also a good person. Keep it in mind, so that when it comes time to talk about kissing in the future, it will be easier to speak.

Hearing that Mrs. Du's tone was not good, Du Yanyun hurriedly stepped forward with a smile to apologize, "It's also Mrs. Jing Guogong who values ​​her cousin, and after listening to the elder son and Gu Wuge mention it, she originally wanted to meet her." With a glance at Xiao Huaisu, "I know my cousin is in filial piety, so it's inconvenient to attend the banquet, so I want to come to our house for the reason of your old birthday, so don't be angry!" After saying that, she shook Mrs. Du's hand slightly sleeves, with a coquettish look on his face.

Seeing her granddaughter's flattery, and thinking that she was always well-behaved and sensible, Mrs. Du's heart softened, and a faint smile hung on the corner of her lips. She glanced at Mrs. Wang, and said, "You are the only one who can talk. People say that my daughter is my mother's caring little padded jacket, and that's true." After a pause, he continued: "It's getting late now, you mother and daughter are away for a day, so go back and wash up and rest earlier!"

Only then did Wang get up to say goodbye, dragged Du Yanyun and left.

Mrs. Du called Xiao Huaisu over, looked her left and right, "You are such a likable villain, even Mrs. Duke wants to see you when she hears about you!"

Although Xiao Huaisu was a little displeased that Wang's mother and daughter used her as an excuse, but now that the words have come to this point, thinking about how well Wang treats her on weekdays, she can't refute their face, so she just smiled and joked: " This doesn't mean that Huai Su is good, it's clearly for the sake of my grandfather and grandmother, knowing that you feel sorry for Huai Su, others will just take a high look."

"You girl!"

Mrs. Du nodded Xiao Huaisu's forehead, then pulled her to pat her gently in her arms, "My Huaisu is good everywhere, no matter how high or low others look at you, you are the treasure held in the palm of my grandmother's hand." !"

Xiao Huaisu's nose was slightly sour when he heard this, and he just quietly lay on Mrs. Du's shoulders, the grandparent and grandson were silent for a while.

On the second day, Mrs. Wang really started to organize Mrs. Du's birthday banquet. The layout of the mansion gradually took on a new look. The red and green ones were full of joy. People's training is a bit stricter.

Xiao Huaisu was also slightly surprised when he saw it, this was not just a birthday banquet, even if it was to receive the emperor's relatives, it was not bad.
