Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 8

Because after her father checked her homework, Gu Yinfang looked at Yinhuan with a strange look in her eyes. If it was purely because she liked to mess with her in the past, then now there is more hatred, probably because she wants to do nothing. Unhappy, her happiness is based on Yin Huan's pain.

Gu Yucheng only stayed for five days before returning to Hui'an. Because of the construction of the big palace, he couldn't leave for too long. It is conceivable that for Aunt Zhou, there is no chance to meet her in these five days. She stayed in Shi's house for two nights, and the remaining three nights were shared among several other aunts.

After a few days of peaceful days, little bumps and bumps were inevitable, and Yin Huan successfully received the finished small screen frame. Compared with the craftsmen in Gu's mansion, the outside is more delicate. The lacquer floor was very fine, Yin Huan hung the embroidered silk on it, evened the shelves on both sides, and a small screen with a width of more than one foot and a height of half a foot appeared in front of his eyes.

With a slight fold in the middle, the Strelitzia japonica looked extraordinarily lively under the lights, and the red-thread embroidered body and the gold-thread gutter on the side of the Longevity character were very beautiful. Yin Huan then took the brocade box in his hand and carefully put it in.

The dog days are over, and in the middle of August, the temperature has dropped slightly, and the Gu mansion has also become lively. Gu Yulang, the Duke of Gu, who led the army to fight outside, has returned with a congratulatory gift for Mrs. Gu. There are still a lot of things in five boxes Ten soldiers carried it in.

The maids and women in the mansion are also busy, and festive red silks and satins can be seen everywhere in the garden corridor, and the atmosphere in the Zhuqing courtyard is also active. Gu Yinfang, who has been quiet for a long time, is trying to Wearing two sets of newly made clothes, Gu Yinshuang was reading with a notebook in his hand, talking to her from time to time.

Gu Yinfang lifted the hem of her skirt and sat on the couch, picked up the book she had finished reading for a moment, "Second Sister, when did you read the teacher's book?"

Gu Yinshuang put down the book, looked at her sitting posture and frowned slightly, "I haven't had time to read it, the teacher really wrote it well." Gu Yinshuang ordered the maid to bring a handkerchief, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said softly , "Auntie, have you been there?"

"Second Sister, what do you think she will give the old lady?" Gu Yinfang nodded, hesitated and asked.

"Didn't you find out clearly?" Gu Yinshuang turned to the next page, "I heard that she asked Aunt Zhou to ask someone to make something, and then asked someone to buy a good silk."

"Could it be that she wants to embroider the Longevity Picture?" Gu Yinfang guessed but couldn't figure it out. Now that Juxiang has been sent back to the Yingchun Courtyard, Yinhuan can't find anything in that room. Erdong doesn't say anything. The mouths of the two new maids seemed to be stitched together, and they couldn't speak.

"How can she have the kung fu to embroider the Longevity Picture?" Gu Yinshuang's eyes flashed a look of disdain, the things that the aunt prepared for herself, except for the fifth brother, who else can compare.

The more Gu Yinfang thought about it, the more she couldn't figure it out. The mood of trying on clothes was half gone, and everything she saw was a little unpleasant. Looking outside at the rainy day, "Second Sister, I'm going back, this dress needs to be changed."

Gu Yinshuang nodded, and looked down at Chen Wanqing's book. Since her father liked it, she naturally wanted to read it...

On August 21st, there were many horse-drawn carriages and guests at the gate of Gu's Mansion in Lin'an City in the early morning. Mrs. Gu Guogong's wife, the leader of the Mu family, greeted the guests at the gate, and each family entered with gifts. The female family members of the Gu family went to Yihe Courtyard early to pay their respects to Mrs. Gu.

A lot of people had gathered in Yihe courtyard long ago. When Fang brought their first-class sisters in, Mrs. Peng was already there. Fang bent down and called aunt, and Gu Yinshuang and the others also knelt down and called Auntie.

"This Gu's mansion is full of excitement. It's not like Peng's mansion. There are only so many bastards who come and go, and they are the most troublesome." Mrs. Peng Gu Shuqin is a young lady from the Gu family. They are all compatriots of the same mother. After getting married, Peng Guogong loved her very much and had one son and two daughters. After the two daughters got married, the huge Peng Guogong's mansion only had a son, daughter-in-law and three grandchildren, so naturally it was not as lively as Gu's mansion.

"I think those boys are all good. If you don't like them, then give them all to be raised by me. In the future, tell them about our little girl from the Gu family." Mrs. Gu smiled, and the hall was full. People, Yin Huan and the others are all standing up, from the first room to the third room, there are quite a few children.

Yin Huan looked up, but he didn't see the little overlords of the Peng family, but Peng Chuqiu, who obediently stayed by Mrs. Peng's side, "I haven't seen Chu Qiu for a few years, but this girl is getting more and more lively. " Mrs. Gu pulled Peng Chuqiu to her side, "Chu girl, how old are you this year?"

"Old lady, Chu Qiu is eight years old this year. This is the birthday gift that Chu Qiu prepared for old lady. I wish old lady good luck like the East China Sea and a longer life than Nanshan." Peng Chuqiu took the brocade box from the hand of the maid and knelt in front of old lady Gu. Next, said respectfully.

Mrs. Gu smiled happily, and opened the brocade box to see that there were 21 tribute beads from Nanshan Temple, which exuded a faint scent of incense, "Grandmother said that the old lady pays a lot of attention to the Buddha now, and the tribute beads from Nanshan Temple are so delicious." It is said that it also has the effect of soothing the meridian, if the old lady takes it, she will not be too tired after sitting for a long time."

Yin Huan looked at Mrs. Gu holding Peng Chuqiu in her arms and smiled, so she knew her status in the Gu family's heart, at least in the first house of the Gu family. Gu Guogong has no children, and Mrs. Gu still has a son, Gu Chuqiu. However, Yuzhi has two legitimate sons. From the perspective of close relatives, Mrs. Gu has the idea of ​​marrying Peng and Gu's two families.

The first thing was sent by Peng Chuqiu. The young ladies of the Gu family gave gifts to Mrs. Gu starting from the eldest lady. Gu Yinshuang's prediction was correct. When she took out the Jade Guanyin, it really surprised many people present. , including Fang's, but Fang's face is sullen.

"Yin Shuang wishes the old lady good fortune like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan. This is also the Jade Avalokitesvara in the jade vein of Nanshan Temple. Jade can nourish people. I hope that the old lady will become healthier and live longer." Gu Yinshuang's voice is considered pleasant. Yes, there were whispers in the hall, this is more expensive than the tribute beads given by Peng Chuqiu, and it was a birthday gift for an eight-year-old child, and Mrs. Gu felt that it was a bit too much.

"Yilan, why did you ask the child to prepare such a valuable thing." Mrs. Gu still motioned to the maid next to her to take Yuguanyin and said to Fangshi who was sitting there.

A flash of Hao Ran flashed across Fang's face, "Old Madam, I really don't know what the children prepared, I just know that they all spent a lot of thought on the old Madam's birthday. Yes, it's not all their wishes, so I didn't ask."

The words of the old lady's happy praise did not meet the expectation, the expression on Gu Yinshuang's face changed slightly, and the second lady Tang pursed her lips to smooth things over with a smile, "The old lady also said, such a Guanyin, this child must be alive!" Many times, there is a lot of thought here, this fiftieth birthday, it should be so good!"

Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Yinshuang with a smile, and asked the servant girl to take a red envelope, "I have a heart."

Yin Huan inadvertently looked at Gu Yinshuang's reddened eyes with her head lowered, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Without the most embarrassing her, this is beyond the birthday gift, how could it not attract attention, but this attention is not what they expected It's just bad.

By the time Yin Huan stepped forward, Mrs. Gu had already placed a lot of things on the table, including the string of beads that Gu Yinfang gave. With Peng Chuqiu's tribute beads, Gu Yinfang's was not outstanding, and Yin Huan was slow. Slowly walked in front of Mrs. Gu and knelt down.

He kowtowed sincerely, "May the old lady be as blessed as the East China Sea and live longer than Nanshan." Yin Huan would also like to thank Old Madam Gu, if not for her words, Yin Huan would have suffered even more.

"Yin Huan embroidered this by herself. It can be placed in the old lady's room for decoration, and it can be folded up to make lighting. I hope the old lady likes it." Yin Huan took the brocade box from Er Dong and took out the small screen.

Mrs. Gu looked at the small screen placed on the table, with a look of surprise on her face. When the servant girl lit it up and the triangles merged, a beautiful silk lampshade appeared in front of her eyes. It is very beautifully embroidered, matching the character of longevity, and the workmanship is fine.

"Yo, it's really a delicate thing." Mrs. Peng said, turning her head to look at Yin Huan who was kneeling, "Girl, how did you come up with the idea to embroider this?"

With a touch of shyness on Yin Huan's face, he said unhurriedly, "The old lady's room must not lack these, and Yin Huan wanted to make the old lady happy, looking at the big screen in the room and thought of this, I hope The old lady can live a long and healthy life, just like this strelitzia."

Mrs. Gu couldn't help but look at her a few more times. The concubines in the third room were also having a hard time. Even if Yilan wasn't a jealous mistress, seeing these precocious children made one feel Distressed.

"Get up, you have been kneeling for so long, I heard from your mother that you saved Xiao Liu a while ago, good boy, get up quickly." Yin Huan got up, took the red envelope from Mrs. Gu, with a smile on her face. Always smiling lightly, Fang looked behind her, with a smile on his face, not showing any joy, he was a child who could feel at ease.

Compared with his father's admiration, Mrs. Gu's admiration represents the entire Gu family, and it is the first time that Yin Huan has been pushed out of everyone's eyes. This child who looks a little like Gu Yucheng in his eyebrows is a delicate, kind and well-behaved child. Girl.

Yin Huan returned to Fang's back, and clearly felt the eyes of others. The small screen was not conspicuous, nor expensive, and it was not as good as what others gave them, but compared to those jade Guanyin, Buddha beads, etc. Only her things are thoughts that cannot be bought with money.

Older people don't care much about these luxurious things, because it's their [-]th birthday, and the things sent by each family are expensive, and no one will take out an embroidery as a gift at will. Yin Huan's small screen became the only one.

Looking up and seeing the kind eyes of the girl from the Fan family standing opposite, Yin Huan smiled and nodded at her, quietly waiting for everyone to celebrate their birthdays, and then followed Fang to the small garden.

Sitting in the pavilion, Yin Huan watched Gu Yinlian and the others feed the fish in the pond in the small garden. Seeing that Gu Yinfei wanted to go there too, he stopped him, "Be careful, it just rained, it's slippery." Now, be careful slipping into the water."

"Aren't Fifth Sister and the others just playing, Seventh Sister, let's go over and have a look, okay?" Yin Fei looked at Yin Huan longingly, and Yin Huan took the fruit on the table and put it in her hand, "Okay, then let's go over there." Look, you have to promise me that you can't stand too close."

Gu Yinfei nodded quickly, and dragged her to the pond...
