It even missed that it was the moment of Yin.
The sky outside was pitch black, and the "rustling" sound of the wind blowing the branches was vaguely heard.
Qiaoling brought a cup of hot red dates and longan tea to serve Gu Han and talked to her, "Miss, during the day, the eldest lady sent her pills, saying that it was made of extremely precious ginseng.
I heard it is very energetic.
Do you want to take one?
Dr. Han said that you are too weak to sleep well.”
Gu Han lazily leaned against the green brocade large welcome pillow, and was not very energetic: "I don't want to eat."
While speaking, two more yawned.
Qiaoling felt sorry for her and advised: "It's still early before dawn, so let's sleep for a while."
Gu Han responded and lay back in the bed.
The jumping candlelight, the real voice of her speech... slowly calmed down her nervous mood.
Dreams are dreams after all.
Since she is reborn, how could she die again?
Qiaoling saw her close her eyes, gently put down the Qingluo tent, and retreated to the outside room.
When I woke up the next day, the sun was already rising very high.
Gu Han's head was a little dizzy. She was always half-dream and half-awake in the second half of the night, which was extremely exhausting.
She hung up the tent herself, Qiaozhen came in to serve her to wash her face and hands. As soon as she applied the balm, Gu Xi came over.
Gu Han gave up and talked to her: "Why did the fifth sister come to me at this time?"
Since Gu Xi recovered from illness, she has become much closer to her. Gu Han knows that Gu Xi is grateful to her... In any case, this does not prevent the increasing relationship between the two sisters.
"You don't welcome it?"
Gu Xi smiled, took the ivory white jade comb from the girl's hand, dipped it in the magnolia flower dew several times to help Gu Han tie his hair, "...I'm looking for you, of course I'll go to pay my respects to my mother later."
Her skillful hand made her a beautiful hanging bun in just a few strokes.
"Where I say...I like you to be with me."
Gu Han took a look in front of the mirror, took out the blue jade beads and flowers from the makeup trunk and put them on his head.
I changed into a narrow-sleeved wool embroidered goose yellow embroidered branch pattern.
Wait until the girl brought breakfast.
Gu Han glanced at it and found that there were light flavors, including rose sweet date porridge, lily crisp, fresh mushrooms and vegetable hearts, and chopped green onion egg pancakes.
Taohong set up bowls, cloth and chopsticks for the two of them, but Gu Xi said she had eaten it.
Gu Han didn't find it strange. Each room of the Gu family has its own independent kitchen. Unless it arrives at a grand banquet during the solar term or the grandmother asks, the whole family will have a meal together, and the rest will be eaten with their own food.
Seeing that the time to pay tribute to his mother was up, Gu Han ate a little simple and went to Jinxiuyuan with Gu Xi.
As soon as they walked into the courtyard, they heard the clear laughter of the young man. The sisters looked at each other and guessed that it was brother Gu Nuan inside.
The little girl guarding the door lifted up the fine curtains of the main room, and Gu Han followed Gu Xi into the house.
Sun was not surprised to see them coming to pay their respects together.
These two people have been together recently, either going to the garden or making needles.
She has encountered it several times.
Gu Nuan said all interesting things in his studies, and the humor he said, everyone in the room laughed.
It was just lively, and the eldest maid Qiuhe of Wu's family came and said that the old lady was a little uncomfortable and that she would be spared today's morning.
Sun asked the girl to give Qiu He a handful of silver and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with my mother?"
Qiuhe bent down and thanked her, and replied with a smile: "Second Madam, don't worry.
The old lady just caught a cold at night. After seeing it, Dr. Han had already fallen asleep... nothing big happened."
Her red lips and white teeth are very bright.
"...I'm sorry for Miss Qiuhe to take good care of her grandmother, we'll see her tomorrow."
Gu Nuan asked.
Qiu He agreed, bent down and retreated.
Gu Nuan sat down for a while and left. It was Mr. Wan’s lecture in the morning, so he didn’t dare to delay.
Sun Shiyao looked at her son's back and disappeared, then sat down and talked to Gu Han, and asked Li Yu to get the monthly routine he had received from the big house.
"Sister Han, this is yours."
Sun handed the girl with a fifteen-two-straw silver pattern.
Gu Han refused again and again: "Mother, I can't use it, so I can stay with you.
My brother is studying in school and it costs a lot, so you must pay for it.”
Sun smiled: "Silly child, just take what you give it to you.
No matter how bad my mother is, the money from the second wife is still enough."
She gave the girl a color.
Gu Han was stunned, looked at Gu Xi, who was silent, and understood.
Gu Xi is also a girl from the second wife. Her unintentional actions put Gu Xi in an embarrassing situation... It was her business that she did not accept money, and it seemed like she was a role model for Gu Xi, and she was forced to not accept it.
"Thank you, mother, then I'll take it."
Gu Han took it and tilted his head playfully.
"Good boy."
Sun nodded with a smile, and asked the girl to hand over ten taels of silver to Gu Xi.
Gu Xi took it and stood up to salute Sun.
It’s not that she is unwilling to share the joys and sorrows with her second wife, she is really powerless.
She can't think about herself at all.
Sun does not value her concubine's daughter, and she has no father, so her aunt is a ungrateful person... She will feel more at ease if she only needs more money on her body.
It’s also a matter of saving a dowry for yourself.
Sun gave the monthly routines of the girls in Chunzai Hall, the mother-in-laws, and the big girls in the bamboo pavilion to Gu Han and Gu Xi, and told them to send them to the next time they went back.
At almost noon, Gu Han pulled Gu Xi and Sun to say goodbye, but was stopped, "I asked the kitchen to stew quail eggs and tremite soup for your brother to moisten the dryness and get rid of the anger. He probably will leave school later. You go to Xuexuan Pavilion to send it to him."
Gu Han should be.
After a while, Xiangyun came from outside with a red sandalwood box in her hand and handed it to Taohong.
Gu Han left Jinxiuyuan and separated from Gu Xi, leading the maids and the women to the outer courtyard.
Although the outer courtyard is where men live, they are all descendants of the Gu family. Gu Han had nothing to hide from in the past.
Xuexuan Pavilion has planted many osmanthus trees, green branches and leaves, and elegant style. There are three or seven houses, and there are strange rockery rocks and ivy beside them.
A breeze blew, and the rattans swayed constantly, graceful and beautiful.
Gu Nuan's big girl Qiaorong, Qiaohui was walking towards the main room with her bowls and chopsticks. She looked up and saw Gu Han, bowed and bowed: "Hello Miss Six."
Gu Han nodded and asked, "Where is the third young master?"
"The Third Young Master is preparing for lunch."
Qiaorong helped to pick up the curtain while talking, and the few of them went in together.
There is a large round table of yellow rosewood in the main hall of Xuexuan Pavilion, which is filled with dishes, steamed fish, pickled cucumbers, red bean cakes, Dongpo pork, stewed chicken shredded porridge, crispy duck, etc.
Gu Nuan sat in the main seat facing north and south, next to him was Zhang Juling, wearing cloud-white fine cotton cloth, bamboo leaves pattern.
"Brother, I..." Gu Han just started to see Zhang Juling. Before she could take away the joy on her face, she bent down and saluted: "I have met Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Juling stood up and returned the greeting.
Gu Nuan didn't remember anything to avoid. Zhang Juling and his sister had met several times, and they were also considered familiars.
He asked with a smile, "Sister Han, what are you here to do?"
Gu Han asked Taohong to bring the red sandalwood box to the table and replied: "I gave you soup, my mother cooked it specially."
"This is?"
“Quail Egg and Tremella Soup.”
Taohong brought out the soup bowl.
Gu Nuan smelled it and praised: "It smells so good."
He turned around and ordered Qiaohui, "Go and get another set of bowls and chopsticks for Miss Five."
"elder brother."
Gu Han shook his head: "...I won't delay your time. I'll go back to Chunzai Hall to eat."
"Where do you mean?"
Gu Nuan got up and pressed her sister to her seat, rubbing her hair: "What are you polite with your brother?
After eating, you will go back. You are weak and you will be yelling that you have stomachache when you missed your meal."
Zhang Juling didn't say anything, so he persuaded him: "Listen to Gu San, otherwise he would be uneasy."
Gu Nuan has always been worried about this sister the most.
Gu Nuanxing is the third place, and he will also call him this in private.
Gu Han was stunned and immediately a girl served her a bowl of shredded chicken porridge.
She had no choice but to sit down.
At the table, Gu Nuan and Zhang Juling were joking, but Gu Han didn't participate much, but listened very seriously.
She wanted to learn more about Zhang Juling.
The steamed fish was placed in front of Zhang Juling, with finely cut ginger shreds on it, and the base of the celadon plate was made of a sauce.
Seeing that he only ate fish and almost didn't move the other dishes. Thinking that the taste was not harmonious, Gu Han subconsciously picked all the shredded ginger into his small plate.
Zhang Juling looked at her quietly, her expression was very comfortable, as if she was used to it.
