Rebirth of the only favorite fool

Walking around the corner in small steps, a big girl with a high bun gave instructions to the two little girls in a low voice.

Relying on her good relationship with the eldest maid, a little girl pursed her lips and asked in a low voice with a smile: "Sister Jiyu, I heard that all the daughters of the Xue family are here?"

Another little girl also covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister Jiyu, is the girl from Xue's family particularly good-looking?"

The big maid named Ji Yu immediately slapped the two little girls on the head with a straight face: "Don't be naughty, hurry up and go to the kitchen to urge the vegetables, if there are not enough people, I will beat the big ladies in the kitchen."

The two little girls were not afraid, and ran away grinning as they agreed.

Ji Yu turned around and saw a person, he was startled suddenly, his heart skipped a few beats, he patted his chest and said in a low voice: "I'm scared to death, people are really scary. What are you doing standing here? ?”

Another big maid standing at the corner and wearing a light blue skirt glanced at her indifferently, and said in a calm voice, "I have seen enough of the Xue family's virtues last year. Although there is nothing in Yuncheng, you can't take the girl out to meet guests." This old-fashioned custom, but who doesn't know what it means for the Xue family to bring a daughter here this year?"

Ji Yu is kind and kind, never casually talking about his master in private, but just shaking his head at the big maid opposite.

The maid named Su Yu was cold and arrogant, and snorted coldly: "It's really not enough to sell a son, and I want to fill in my daughter as well."

Ji Yu didn't expect this, and looked at Su Yu in a daze: "Don't talk nonsense."

Su Yu looked at Ji Yu pouted, turned around and left.

When Ji Yu re-entered with the jug, the atmosphere at the banquet was just right.

According to the general rules of ranking, the host sits at the main seat, and the guests sit at the bottom; if the seniority is different, the elder sits at the top and the junior sits at the bottom.

This time, Gu's residence was a family banquet, so they didn't pay too much attention to the table seating.Gu Zhongming and his wife sat on the central seat, under the left hand sat Mr. Xue and his wife, further down sat the three sons of the Xue family, Gu Huaiyu and Xue Jia sat in the back; under the right hand sat Gu Jiude, because of Gu Jiude It's the widower, then there are Gu Huaiyuan, his wife and children, and the two girls of the Gu family sit at the head of Yin Jingyi.

Master Xue Xue Ren started talking, and smiled at Gu Zhongming: "Brother Gu, this Qianjin wine is really different, it tastes really fragrant and mellow, and it can't be compared with the daughter red wine that has been buried in the ground for 30 years .”

Mrs. Xue, who was sitting next to Xue Ren, hurriedly laughed and said, "Yes, yes, thanks to the second young master who dug this wine back from Taocheng, otherwise Yuncheng would not be able to drink such a good thing."

Gu Zhongming heard people praise his family's wine, but he was most proud of his two sons, especially the youngest son, who made him feel that his life was quite complete.When you are young, you travel far and wide, you have to work hard, and when you are in your forties, you can live at home, with your wife and children by your side, and your younger generations look forward to it. What could be more satisfying than this?

Mrs. Xue's words were obviously a compliment to Mr. Gu's idea. Gu Zhongming stroked the beard on his chin and laughed: "Brother Xue and his younger siblings are really overrated. Huaiyu just went to Taocheng to play and heard local legends. , I bought this wine shop, without him there will always be someone else. He is still young, so don't praise him too much, and be careful that he gets carried away." But looking at Gu Zhongming's expression, how can he not be willing to be praised by Gu Huaiyu?

Mrs. Xue had the most winking eyes, with a smile on her face, and she continued to follow the words: "Where is the second young master, who is young and talented, and with the help of such an outstanding elder brother, I think he will become a great weapon in the future."

Xue Ren and Gu Jiude who was sitting across from each other echoed a few words, making Gu Zhongming and his wife smile.

Gu Huaiyu, who was sitting at the bottom, didn't move after hearing this, but turned his head and told Xue Jia in a low voice, with a smile in his eyes: "Don't drink too much wine. If you really want to drink, when you get back to our yard, you can drink as soon as you want." You can drink whatever you want."

When Xue Jia heard that Xue's family was coming to visit today, her expression was a little dull, and she couldn't get interested in seeing anything.If he heard Gu Huaiyu make fun of him in the past, he would always retort a few words, but now he just responded with a hmm, and there was no other reaction.

Gu Huaiyu pursed his lips, and stretched out his hand for Xue Jiasheng soup.

The few people sitting at the table couldn't help accommodating each other, and when they were talking lively, Mrs. Xue changed the subject with a smile: "Look at the young master who wants to have both children now, I think the second young master will have a few soon. Yuxue is a cute little child."

Xue Jia just took the spoon from Gu Huaiyu's hand, and was stirring slowly in the bowl when he heard that the spoon knocked on the bowl.

Gu Zhongming coughed twice in embarrassment.Gu Huaiyu had told them categorically before that if he didn't take concubines, he would adopt them even if he had a child. How could he have a child in a short while?These words were a bit difficult to answer, Gu Zhongming wanted to say a few words vaguely: "My child, sooner or later there will be."

Hearing Mrs. Xue hitting a snake with a stick, she smiled and said: "The family is always lively when there are children. You don't know that Jia'er has been obedient and obedient since he was a child. He has the most appropriate temperament and is the best at taking care of his younger siblings. When she was at home, Yue Lan also liked his brother the most, when she was a child, she always yelled that she would always be with her fourth brother in the future, she really had a very good relationship."

What nonsense is this?What kind of brother and sister does Jia Er have a deep relationship with?

The corners of Gu Huaiyu's mouth curved slightly, his eyes were full of coldness.On the surface, Mrs. Xue is just talking about the fun stories of the Xue Jia brothers and sisters when they were young, but what does it mean to "always be with the fourth brother"?The meaning is so obvious, who can't hear it?

It's really not enough to fill in one son, do you want to add another daughter?It's really a good plan.

Now there are rumors in the city that the Second Young Master Gu dotes on Xue Jia, so he just came to visit the Gu family at a time when the Gu family and the Xue family were on good terms.When the Xue family sent their son over, the Xue family was reluctant to send the aunt's son. Now that the clerk looks like he has established a firm foothold in the Gu family, he wants to send the aunt's daughter in.

Although Xue Jia is his husband, he is only a concubine after all. If this matter can be settled, the concubine will naturally be different from ordinary concubines.With the identity of Xue Jia's younger sister, she wanted to come to Xue's family to let her prostitute become a common wife, or at least a noble concubine.As we all know, Second Young Master Gu likes men and has long-term affection, and his back house is clean. Even if he will raise a few male favorites in the future, there will only be Xue Yuelan as a woman.And once Xue Yuelan gave birth to his child, it would probably be the only child of the second wife of the Gu family.

Why didn't the Xue family do such a cost-effective business?

Oh, that depends on whether he is willing or not!

Before Gu Huaiyu could speak, Mrs. Bo looked at Xue Yuelan and smiled: "Yes, I think Yuelan is very good, handsome and proficient in four arts. I don't know if there will be such a good lady in the future. Which lucky medium is marrying and welcoming back to be his regular wife."

The implication of Bai's words is also very clear: since such a good daughter in your family can marry out as a legitimate wife, how can there be any reason to come to someone else to be a concubine?

In this way, even if the Xue family didn't blush at what they planned to do, they were still too embarrassed to say it outright.Sure enough, Mrs. Xue didn't even blink her eyelids, and with a few words with a smile on her face, she changed the topic to something else.

Gu Huaiyu looked at his mother, feeling warm in his heart, he quietly reached out to hold Xue Jia's palm in private, turned his head and smiled at him sideways.Xue Jia was not as dull as before, and rarely smiled back at him.

No one else saw it, only Gu Lianfang who was on the opposite side had been paying attention to Gu Huaiyu's movements and expressions, and happened to see the two of them looking at each other and smiling, biting their lower lip tightly, and clenching their nails in the palm of their hand.

In the afternoon the adults were still sitting and talking, Gu Zhongming asked Gu Huaiyuan to take them, the juniors, to the Juzhen Pavilion of the Gu Mansion to play, and if there was anything he liked, he could choose one and take it away.

Some big families in Yuncheng and Huaicheng have such a kind of attic, where the treasures and furnishings of the mansion are displayed. If there are distinguished guests coming, they will let them enter the pavilion to show the way of hospitality, and it is also a way to show the family's financial resources. way.

After arriving at the Juzhen Pavilion, several people couldn't help sighing slightly. The Gu family's wealth really lived up to its reputation. The sights were full of mercury pearls, agarwood coral, gold and silver, and the pearls shone. It seemed that treasures filled the entire pavilion.The Xue family also has a similar attic, but it is far from comparable to the Juzhen Pavilion in Gu's mansion, which makes the few people who can pick one thing to take away can't help secretly happy.

Gu Huaiyuan stood at the door and introduced a few words to them, allowing them to act on their own.The Juzhen Pavilion has a rather large terrain, and the few people quickly dispersed as they walked, each picking out the things they liked.

Xue Jia seemed to have a peaceful temperament, but he was a bit arrogant in his bones. He was not tempted by the rare and rare treasures in the eyes of others, with a relaxed expression, and Gu Huaiyu dragged him to wander around the pavilion.

Gu Huaiyu looked sideways at Xue Jia, couldn't help but smiled and reached out to rub Xue Jia's face: "Look, is there anything you like? Take everything you like back to our yard."

Xue Jia's eyes twitched, and she glanced sideways at Gu Huaiyu: "If I like them all, can I take them all back to the yard?"

It's rare to see Xue Jia have such an expression. In Gu Huaiyu's eyes, it is naturally charming, and it tickles his heart.Gu Huaiyu coughed a few times in a low voice, touched his nose and answered honestly: "No."

Subconsciously, Xue Jia wanted to snort coldly, but before she could utter a sound, she realized that she was acting like a spoiled child to Gu Huaiyu, her face darkened suddenly, she quickly tightened her expression, and took a few steps forward.

Gu Huaiyu hurriedly chased after him, held him in his arms from behind, rested his chin on Xue Jia's shoulder, and smiled crookedly: "Jia'er, it's not that I'm reluctant to give you this treasure, it's just that these belong to my family, aren't they?" I can make decisions by myself. But I have a small warehouse in private, which I saved before, and I can show you to see it in person, and if you like it, I will give it to you."

These treasures in the Juzhen Pavilion are just some of the properties that the Gu family put on the surface. Some extremely precious private collections will not be displayed for real. They will be placed in the secret rooms and basements of the mansion. in this way.Master Gu won't show those treasures that are too eye-catching, but it doesn't mean that he won't distribute them to his two sons in private. I also know how valuable the private treasury of the second young master of the Gu family will be.

Xue Jia hurriedly broke away from Gu Huaiyu, lowered her eyes: "Keep it for yourself, I don't want these things."

Gu Huaiyu naturally knew that Xue Jia was not angry for these jewels.Since Xue's family came to the door today, Xue Jia's demeanor has been very indifferent. Thinking about it, he actually doesn't want to see these so-called relatives again, and he feels a little depressed.Xue Jia didn't like them, and Gu Huaiyu hated these Xue family members ten times in his heart, and he planned to put the original plan on the agenda a few minutes earlier.

Just as she was about to rush to coax her husband again, she heard a noise from the other side of the pavilion: "It's just a girl from a small family, and she actually took the idea of ​​my brother and husband, really shameless!"
