Chapter 119: Her family chooses Teng's concubine(1/2)
Qiao Guxin smiled and took Gu's arm, "Grandma is probably looking forward to it after getting the news. It's only October, and even if it snows, it's just light snow, so it won't be a problem."
Seeing the hesitation on Mrs. Gu's face, Qiao Guxin continued, "If we don't go there, grandma will probably be worried."
The old man was looking forward to seeing someone in front of him. He would definitely not think that a little snow would block the road, and he thought something had happened at home.
Originally, Qiao Guxin's marriage was in trouble, but now that her future in-laws are coming to visit her, they are no longer coming as promised, so she will definitely think too much about it.
Qiao Guxin said this, and Gu could only nod in agreement, but when going out, Qian Dingzhu and Wan told her to make sure the carriage goes slower.
After saying goodbye to Mr. Gu, Qiao Wenzhi felt relieved.
She had already made an appointment with Feng Zhaoan. If she didn't go there, Feng Zhaoan would be left freezing in the snow.
Knowing that she felt sorry for Feng Tanhua, Qiao Guxin immediately ordered the carriage to go faster.
After turning around alley after alley, even with the help of the Chu family, Feng Zhaoan is a foreigner after all, and it is rare to be able to buy a yard here.
Even Qiao Wenzhi had never been here before. She secretly lifted the curtain and looked outside with bright eyes without any disdain.
After many twists and turns, we finally arrived at the place.
The snow was not heavy, so there was no need to hold an umbrella. After getting off the carriage, Qiao Guxin just gathered up his robe to prevent the cold wind from blowing in.
"Hello, ladies." Feng Zhaoan had been watching at the door for a long time. When he saw that the carriage of the Marquis Mansion had stopped, he immediately took a few steps.
Qiao Guxin stamped his feet, "I happened to pass by when I went out today and disturbed Mr. Feng's peace."
Feng Zhaoan waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm just being rude, and I forgot that you don't care about me, young lady."
He is an honest person and does not like to say such superficial things. A young man is passionate and will always forget etiquette regardless of his personality. Only after receiving a reply from Qiao Wenzhi late last night did I know that his invitation was indeed inappropriate.
At this moment, in front of Qiao Guxin, I made a serious compilation.
Seeing Feng Zhaoan being as pious as worshiping gods and Buddhas, Qiao Guxin smiled and said, "Young Master Feng said seriously. I heard that your father will be arriving soon. It is also a happy event for the family to be reunited."
Calculating carefully, we haven't seen each other for almost half a year.
The path to study is ultimately difficult.
Feng Zhaoan hummed, "It will arrive in three to five days."
The journey is long and difficult to walk. In addition, the day is short, the light is bright and the evening is dark quickly, so the time on the journey has been greatly shortened. It was the Feng family who thought of a way to come over quickly, thinking of quickly packing up and settling down, waiting
During the Laba Festival, it is best to give Laba porridge to your relatives.
The Laba porridge made by Feng's mother is excellent, but this porridge needs to be cooked slowly and carefully, and there is no need to rush. If you are pressed for time, you may not be able to cook it well.
After all, it was the Marquis's compound. They had never seen anything good before, so they definitely couldn't neglect it.
But Feng Zhaoan would definitely not say this. It was obviously the Feng family's responsibility, but if he brought it up specifically, it would be like asking for credit.
The three of them exchanged a few words and then dispersed.
After all, she was passing by, but Qiao Wenzhi still looked in from outside the door, curious.
Sitting in the carriage, Qiao Gu thought about the way Feng Zhaoan lowered his head, thinking that he was deliberately controlling it. The newly promoted courtier marrying the concubine of the Hou family is not really a high-ranking person, so there is no need to be so humble. In the final analysis, it is still
Because Feng Zhaoan cares about Qiao Wenzhi and doesn't want her to suffer any injustice.
She was really happy for Qiao Wenzhi to have such a good match.
The two opened the drawings sent by Feng Zhaoan. Although this place was remote, they did not expect that it was a four-in-one courtyard, which was spacious enough to accommodate the few of them.
I think he was careful. He lived in a remote place. Feng Zhaoan must have gotten up earlier when he went to court in the morning. I think it was also for Qiao Wenzhi. Both his concubines and concubines grew up in the Hou Mansion, so living in a courtyard that was too small would definitely not be comfortable.
Qiao Guxin looked at Qiao Wenzhi and clicked her tongue twice, "Look, this is the world your Tanhua Lang has won for you."
From now on, this big courtyard will be under the control of Qiao Wenzhi.
Qiao Wenzhi blushed at Qiao Guxin's laughter, "Big sister has also learned bad things."
Qiao Guxin leaned on the carriage, leisurely and contented, "Mrs. Feng is also now sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued?"
The more she talked, the more she got angry. Qiao Wenzhi directly covered her face with a handkerchief.
Qiao Guxin smiled and took down Qiao Wenzhi's hand, "I see that the Feng family must be quite anxious."
Feng Zhaoan is not young anymore, and the wedding date will probably be set for next year. He thinks that next year the Hou family will leave the two girls at once, and it will be deserted after all.
"If you are wronged, don't hide it. Brother Qing is also your brother." It doesn't mean that people who share the same mind will always have everything they want. This family can't live without touching the bowl. Qiao Wenzhi doesn't like it.
If you really feel wronged, you can only hold it back.
Qiao Wenzhi couldn't help but lean on Qiao Guxin, "Sister, I suddenly don't want to get married anymore."
Qiao Wenzhi was inexplicably worried about her future life.
Qiao Guxin smiled and rubbed Qiao Wenzhi's head, "Silly girl."
When two people are in love, it is the way of heaven for a man to marry and a woman to marry.
People say that when a married girl throws water away, her family doesn't have that kind of rules. As long as she can free her hands, she will never let go of anyone.
There was a delay in the middle, and it was almost noon when we arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion. Old Mrs. Gu was indeed waiting for people outside. Grandma greeted them first and said, "The old lady was very happy when she heard that the two girls were coming.
."
On weekdays, Qiao Guxin mostly follows the Gu family, and there are many rules. There are no children who come by themselves to make people happy.
This car entered the courtyard, and as soon as the curtains were lifted, Mrs. Gu heard the sound and stood up directly. "Why are your hands so cold? Were they frozen all the way?"
Before the two of them could greet each other, Mrs. Gu pulled them over one by one.
After hearing what Mrs. Gu said, Grandma was very discerning and prepared a hand stove for the two girls.
"It's not cold either." After sitting down with the old lady, there was no way to greet her, so Qiao Guxin had no choice but to reply directly.
The old lady snorted and said, "You're just lying to me." She rolled her eyes at Qiao Guxin and then said, "I always keep saying that your carriage should be replaced. What your mother said in the way is eye-catching. I watched the dignified Marquis's residence.
They are all poor."
Qiao Guxin covered her mouth and chuckled, "I also want Brother Qing to see that as an official, you must be as honest as your grandfather."
Pulling out such a luxurious carriage always makes people feel as if there is a lot of money in the house.
In fact, the carriages of the Gu family are also commonly seen, but the old people feel sorry for the juniors, and there is no bottom line when they are around them.
While he was talking, grandma brought over a plate of iced apples and said, "This is something you don't usually see. I remember you loved eating it when you were a child." She turned to Qiao Wenzhi and said with a smile.
This fruit is well made, even the pleats on the apple are delicate and balanced, which shows that real effort has been put into it.
There was only so much in the Prime Minister's House. The old lady was usually reluctant to eat it, but now she brought it all out.
On weekdays, if Mr. Gu were here, he would definitely say that the girl's family couldn't eat cold food. Now that no one is taking care of it, the old lady naturally let it go. She thought that it wouldn't be a big deal if she ate like this once.
"Thank you, grandma." Qiao Wenzhi whispered back.
She definitely couldn't let go here, but she felt from the bottom of her heart that the Gu family's people were really well-educated. Even if they were concubines, it didn't matter. If they called Gu family mother, the Gu family would treat them as their own children.
Although she knew in her heart that she couldn't compare with Qiao Guxin, but on the surface, if she gave things to Qiao Guxin, she would definitely give some to the concubines and concubines. It didn't matter whether they were equally valuable, but on the personal level.
mind.
During lunch, Mrs. Gu specially called Mrs. Hu over. Mrs. Zhang was not in the house, and they, the younger generation, had something to say when they were together.
Now that Mrs. Hu is pregnant, she doesn't have much reaction. Even so, everyone will look after her when she comes, and many inedible things will definitely not be seen on the table.
After lunch, Qiao Guxin and Qiao Wenzhi went to Hu's courtyard.
Mrs. Hu said that she was pregnant now, and she only had time to eat and sleep every day.
Mrs. Zhang is not demanding, and has never asked for anything from her. She lives very comfortably here.
It happened that I had slept for a long time this morning, and now I was feeling tired, so I invited my two sisters to sit down.
Although there are concubines in the family, I still feel that I am not as comfortable speaking in front of my aunt's children who are married outside.
After all, she is the daughter-in-law who has been welcomed in. She can't help but compare, and she will restrain herself even if no one asks her. But Qiao Guxin and the others are different. They are just relatives and guests, and they cannot go beyond her.
Cousin Gu was also a caring person, so he was afraid that it would be inconvenient for Mrs. Hu to go out because she was pregnant, so he collected many novel gadgets from outside. Even Qiao Guxin, who didn't like to make trouble, couldn't help but play with it at this moment.
"Brother and sister-in-law have a deep love for each other, which is enviable." Qiao Guxin played with the little thing in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.
Mrs. Hu lowered her head and pursed her lips and smiled, "You are a sweet-talking person. You are about to get married, so someone will hurt you."
The elders were not happy about Qiao's old intention, but most of them would not tell Mrs. Hu. Mrs. Hu said the happy words smoothly.
Qiao Wenzhi glanced at Qiao Guxin, and then sat in front of Mrs. Hu, "That's not as good as my brother and sister-in-law. Feng Tanhua's cousin and Cousin Gu are both in the Ministry of War, and we often hear about Cousin Gu's heroic deeds."
Mrs. Hu stirred up the handkerchief and gave Qiao Wenzhi a sweet and angry look, "Second cousin knows a lot."
No matter what, this topic always gets sidetracked.
It gets dark early now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if I go back late, so I'm ready to leave as soon as Shenshi arrives.
Mrs. Hu was pregnant, so it would be inconvenient for her to come here. Old Mrs. Gu originally wanted to come out, but the wind was too strong and kept coughing, so Qiao Gu would not let Old Mrs. Gu go out.
The nanny in front of Mrs. Gu sent them out.
"Cousin-sister-in-law looks at her, she seems to have something on her mind?" While staying at Mrs. Hu's place, Qiao Guxin noticed that Mrs. Hu was alone several times in a daze, as if she was melancholy.
When asked about this, grandma just sighed.
It is said that the Hu family saw that Mrs. Hu was in bad health, so they asked her to choose a concubine from the clan to serve cousin Gu.
