"Miss, I'm afraid..." Taohong repeated when the thunder sound passed.
She thought Gu Han didn't hear it.
Gu Han waved his hand to interrupt her, and asked the other girls serving in the room to go out first, then asked, "How old are you?"
"I'm thirteen years old."
Gu Han said "yes" and said, "I'm pretty old."
Taohong Nuonuo should be that she doesn’t understand what the lady wants to say and dares not say much.
Gu Han sewed the edges together, cut the excess thread with scissors, and put it in the basket.
The raised plain hands are slender with ten fingers, and the wrists are like white lotus roots.
Taohong looked down at her single shoes. The green satin fabric on it was appreciated by the lady during the Chinese New Year last year. The girls who were above the third grade and above in Chunzai Hall were divided into three feet... She was so immersed in thinking, but she heard the lady whisper: "You serve me to have tea."
Taohong agreed to go to the high table to get the pastel flower tea set.
Gu Han observed quietly, washing cups, putting cups, making tea... until he gave it to her, and no water droplets splashed out.
He is indeed very smart.
It's just not very steady.
Maybe he is young.
When I was thirteen years old in my previous life, I still quarreled with Gu Xing every day.
Gu Han lowered his head and smiled slightly.
The etiquette of drinking tea has been specially taught by the Gu family.
It’s just that it’s so carefully and in place like peach rosé, it’s rare.
I must have put in my efforts in private.
It's also a good enough effort.
Gu Han drank half a cup and asked Taohong every day, "...Where is my hometown?"
"From Yongqing countryside."
Taohong replied: "It's not far from Kyoto, it's time to take a carriage for a day."
Gu Han smiled, "How many people are there in the family?"
"...I've died early, and my brother married into Lin Village."
Taohong's voice sounded dull: "There is only one old lady left at home."
Gu Han paused his hands with the teacup, got up and went to Duobao Pavilion to pick up five taels of silver for peach red, and grabbed another handful of silver and naked sons with red cloth: "During the Dragon Boat Festival, you go home and take a look. Buy some fruits and pastries, just think I've spent money."
The amount was more than seven taels... Taohong was shocked, too much... The lady was raised by a cute lady. She may not know how much seven taels of silver was, but she understood it.
The Lizheng family at the east end of the village is the richest in the village, with more than ten acres of land. It is a good year. After a year of diligence, I only have more than six taels of extra money... I refused: "Miss, I bought pastries and other things by myself, and I can't use that much money."
If you want other people's loyalty, of course you must be kind to others.
Gu Han smiled and pressed the silver in her palm and said, "Go to the house to leave some for the elderly, and there is a minor illness that can come in handy.
If there is any extra, it is also good to go to the neighboring village to see your brother and sister-in-law."
When a man gets married, he doesn’t dare to speak loudly, and life is very sad.
Taohong thanked her repeatedly and knelt down and bowed.
For a moment, I felt that the lady was really good to treat her.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the world seemed to be separated by a flowing Milky Way.
Gu Han waved her hand and asked her to get up, took out the ginseng health pills contained in the brocade box, and asked Taohong to see, "When did you see that there was something wrong with it?"
Tao Hong was thinking a lot and spoke tentatively: "... Since taking the pills, the lady has a better complexion, but her spirit is getting worse and worse, and her awake time during the day is getting shorter and shorter.
I think that if it is really a good medicine, it shouldn’t be just a good complexion, a good spirit and other aspects.”
Even outsiders can see that it is inappropriate.
Gu Han thought, doubts became even more serious.
In her previous life, she had never taken ginseng health pills, but her body gradually recovered after she was fifteen years old... This pill was made by her grandmother, but her aunt Zhao was in charge of various common affairs in the mansion. Will she do anything secretly?
"Miss, the old lady said, it's raining heavily, so you can have dinner by yourself, so you don't have to go to the main hall, so as not to suffer from the wind and cold again."
Caiqin picked the curtain and came in to report.
Gu Han nodded and took over his chaotic thoughts.
Wave your hand and let Taohong go down and rest.
The kitchenette prepared dinner and brought it here, and Gu Han rested early after eating.
She had been doing needlework for a long time in the afternoon and was a little tired.
But she didn't sleep well that night, tossing and turning.
The rain stopped in the middle of the night, and the remaining raindrops dripped from the eaves of the corridor, making people sleepless.
She closed her eyes and gasped, her heart beating very fast, she was anxious, and her whole body was sweating.
She was thinking about the conversation with Taohong, knowing that she should check the ginseng Yangrong Pills... but how to check it.
People in the mansion must avoid it. It would be fine if there is no problem. If something is discovered by my aunt in advance, she would definitely be obstructed in every way.
Besides, it is just a doubt, but it is not good to be well known to everyone.
Gu Han thought for a long time, but felt that there was no need for the eldest aunt to do this... The difference between the eldest and second bedrooms was one in the sky and the other in the ground, and what else was there to be inconvenient for her?
She fell asleep in a daze when it was dawn.
I dreamed that the first winter when she just married Zhang Juling many years ago, the snow was heavy and it was soaring, and it took three days at once.
When the sky clears, everything you see is white, like a glazed world.
She was having fun together, and she built a snowman in the yard and used carrots as her nose.
He was so happy during the day that he had a high fever at night, which scared Zhang Juling even if he talked nonsense.
He barely took the medicine but did not sweat. He asked someone to order several stoves in the inner room and sat at the head of the bed all night.
She actually knew that he was kind to her.
Later, all those who served her were punished, and she couldn't even plead for mercy.
"Miss, Miss, wake up..." Qiaoling turned to the blue saut cabinet to call Gu Han up, but unexpectedly saw her face full of tears, and was very surprised.
Gu Han shuddered and sat up, asking, "What's wrong?"
My mind is blurred and still being affected by the things in my dreams.
"It's dawn, it's time to pay tribute to the old lady."
Qiaoling hung up the curtain.
After Gu Han moved to Lingboyuan, the old lady refused to let her go to the second room to pay homage to Sun. She said that the children had more sleep and let her sleep for a while would be nice to her.
Everything is for the sake of the girl, so Sun naturally has no complaints.
Qiaozhen heard the noise and came in to serve Gu Han, and the hot water in the copper basin was also ready.
But Gu Han sat against the head of the bed for a long time.
The sky after the rain was significantly clearer than usual, with the sun hanging high above the head, shining with golden light.
As soon as Chen Hours arrived, those who paid tribute to Lingboyuan came one after another.
It happened again that Gu Lin and Gu Jingran were resting, and the descendants of the Gu family gathered together.
The whole hall was filled with laughter and joy.
Wu's face couldn't help but smile as she watched her husband's grandsons make art.
When a person lives his whole life, he will suffer all the hardships and blessings he should enjoy.
Isn’t it just to have a prosperous family business and a lot of children and grandchildren?
Gu Han sat nearest to the door, watching the sunlight shine through the inner window, and suddenly felt lonely.
The excitement in front of me was clearly in front of me, but it seemed to be far away from her.
After Qingming Festival, Beizhili entered a rainy season - late spring, which is the last stage of spring.
The rain always comes with the wind.
The wind in late spring has no longer the cold air of early spring, and it is warm and not cold at all when it blows on your face.
Zhou Haobo came to the Gu family at the end of March. In addition to bringing a meeting gift to the Gu family, he also brought two book boys and four servants.
He first went to Jinxiuyuan to pay homage to Sun, and then went to pay tribute to Wu.
"Mother, this is Bogore."
Sun smiled and introduced to Wu.
Zhou Haobo bowed and said, "...I feel very guilty when I come to disturb the old lady this time.
I heard that you like to drink tea, my mother prepared the newly released Emei bamboo leaf green this spring, saying it is very nourishing to the stomach and let you taste it."
He was wearing a beautiful blue silk robe and a free scarf of the same color tied to his head.
Very elegant scholar dress.
The servant who accompanied him presented three boxes of Emei Zhuyeqing with both hands.
"I'm sorry your mother is worried about it, is she in good health?"
Wu smiled and asked the girl to pick her up, and said, "...Good kids, they have grown up so big, they are about the same height as Brother Nuan."
As he spoke, he asked the girl to tell the young men in the school.
"Mom is all right."
Zhou Haobo has a pair of black round eyes, big and shiny. When he smiles at you, his entire pupils will only contain you.
This made him look particularly gentle and sincere.
Wu talked to him for a while, and when he saw that he was very polite, he nodded sincerely.
"Sister Han, come here and see your cousin."
Sun pulled the girl next to him.
Gu Han has not said anything since Zhou Haobo entered the door. He was not deliberately avoiding him, but meeting "old friends" or "old friends" with a vicious heart... She really doesn't want to be silly.
Due to love, he had to... Gu Han's eyes tightened and he bent down to salute.
"……how?
Don't know your cousin anymore?"
Seeing that the girl didn't say anything, Sun smiled and rubbed her hair.
Zhou Haobo smiled and stood up to return the gift.
His impression of his cousin was the little girl who ran behind him when he was a child.
"I haven't seen each other for a few years, so I have a lot of life."
Wu waved to his granddaughter to come to his side, and said with a smile: "Don't stand, sit down quickly."
A girl who was standing and serving her had hot tea.
At this time, Gu Shu and Gu Nuan brothers came over.
Zhang Juling was followed behind.
He was pulled by Gu Nuan and said that everyone is young and needs more contact in the future. It is better to get to know each other in advance.
They are all familiar with each other. After performing the ceremony, they introduced Zhang Juling.
Gu Han looked at Zhou Haobo's every move, feeling unfamiliar.
Why did she like this person who doesn’t have a smile to the point of view in her previous life?
"Second wife, is Bogoer's residence proper?"
Wu asked.
Sun smiled and said, "I want him to live with Brother Nuan. My cousins ​​are more familiar with each other and they are more comfortable no matter what they say or do."
Of course she had her own selfish intentions. The second wife was weak, so she was just a man.
Being able to make friends with your nephew will also help him in the future.
Wu nodded and praised, "You are considerate."
After talking for a while, Gu Nuan led Zhou Haobo to recognize where he lived.
The rest of them also dispersed.
Gu Han looked at Zhang Juling's upright back and suddenly had an idea in his mind.
The arrival of dusk is always gloomy.
The candlelight in Dongfeng Pavilion was already lit, and Zhang Juling sat in the study and read a book.
"Young Master, Miss Gu Jialiu is here and I say I have something important to see you."
Shuming knocked on the door and walked in.
Zhang Juling was stunned, "Look for me?"
Shu Ming nodded, his eyes particularly strange.
"Please come in."
