Chapter 1071 Sewing Clothes
Gu Jin understood clearly and said with a smile, "Young Master Mei is very filial."
"yes."
The two walked to the corridor of the bedroom. Before entering the room, they heard Mrs. Mei asking inside, "Isn't Xiaojin here yet?"
Sister Shan smiled at Gu Jin, opened the door and shouted, "Here, Xiaojin is here."
Gu Jin followed and walked in with a pure smile, "Grandma."
Mrs. Mei had already stood up when she heard the sound, and when she saw Gu Jin's eyes turned red, "You girl, you know you've come to see me."
Gu Jin went over and held Mrs. Mei's hand, "I just returned to the capital, and when I heard about you Ye Zi, the first thing I thought of was to come and see you."
"You girl still has a conscience." Mrs. Mei, with a loving smile in her eyes, pulled Gu Jin to sit down.
Liao Jia hurriedly greeted Gu Jin, "Mrs. Shen."
Gu Jin smiled slightly and nodded.
Sister Shan brought the things Xiao Jin brought to Mrs. Mei, "This is the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum that Mrs. Shen brought to Mrs. Mei, as well as good medicinal materials and herbal tea."
Old Mrs. Mei frowned and pretended to blame Gu Jin, "As long as people come, what else do you bring with you? I'm not lacking, so I'll be happy to see you."
Gu Jin joked, "My parents grew Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng. The quality is very good and you can't buy it outside. I made this herbal tea specially for you. It nourishes the mind and strengthens the body. No one else can make it."
Mrs. Mei was overjoyed, "Those are all treasures, I have to keep them well."
Gu Jin chuckled, "Is grandma in good health? Can she adapt to life in Beijing?"
"Okay, there's nothing serious. How are your parents doing? Why didn't they go to Beijing with you?"
"I really want to bring them with me, but my parents are used to living in the countryside. It's more comfortable to live at home. As for my parents, they are in Beijing now."
"Yes, people don't like to move around when they get old. I met your parents a few days ago."
"Um."
Sister Shan brought a bowl of tea, and Gu Jin stood up to pick it up, "I'll do it."
Sister Shan paused for a moment. Seeing that Mrs. Mei had no objection, she handed the soup to Gu Jin.
It's different now than before. Gu Jin is Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Qiao, not just the god-granddaughter recognized by Mrs. Mei.
However, Mrs. Mei only regards Gu Jin as her granddaughter from the bottom of her heart, and she is still the same as before.
After serving Mrs. Mei and finishing her tea, Mei Ronghuo came in from the outside, greeted Mrs. Mei first, sat on the chair opposite, and said with a smile to Xiao Jin, "I didn't even go out when I knew you were coming today."
Gu Jin said, "I'm not here to see you."
Mei Ronghuo said "ha" and said to Mrs. Mei, "Grandma, you see she dares to criticize me like this in front of you, and she doesn't even take my brother seriously in private."
Gu Jin thought of Chu Shiyu and snorted, "You are such a casual brother."
Mrs. Mei laughed and said, "As long as you don't bully her, I can't control what she does to you."
Mei Ronghuo showed an expression of despair, "With Xiaojin, my status has plummeted."
Gu Jin raised her eyebrows, "Then if you go out less often and spend more time with grandma, you might have a chance to improve your status."
These words deeply touched Mrs. Mei's heart, and Mrs. Mei's smile became even stronger.
Mei Ronghuo pretended to be stunned, "I understand."
The servant came in with tea. Liao Jia stood by the door and stepped forward, "Sister, let me do it."
She was brought into the house by Mr. Mei, and Mrs. Mei recently liked her. She didn't say anything, only showed a hint of sarcasm that was not easy to distinguish, and handed the tray to Liao Jia.
Liao Jia held the plate in both hands, twisted her waist and stepped forward, bending down to place the tea quilt on the coffee table next to Mei Ronghuo. The expression on her face was subtle and gentle, just right.
Gu Jin glanced at her and looked away.
Liao Jia served Gu Jin tea again, and Mei Ronghuo suddenly said, "You are pregnant with a child, so you should drink less tea."
Mrs. Mei was startled for a moment, then she became happy. Her eyes fell on Gu Jin's belly, "How many months are you pregnant?"
"More than three months." Gu Jin chuckled.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Mrs. Mei pretended to blame her, but she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes. She turned around and ordered, "Bring two mats for Xiaojin to put under them, as well as those sour plums and hawthorns.
Bring them all."
Gu Jin smiled and said, "Don't let me eat anything you don't plan on. I'll spit out sour water when I hear it."
"Me too." Mei Ronghuo followed.
Gu Jin burst out laughing.
Mei Ronghuo glanced at her, "What are you laughing at?"
Gu Jin tilted his head and asked, "How many months is Mei Shao old?"
Everyone reacted and burst into laughter. Old Mrs. Mei even burst into tears from laughter.
Mei Ronghuo was so angry that his teeth itched, and he laughed angrily, "I am so worried that I stayed in the capital waiting for you today, waiting to be bullied by you."
Gu Jin tilted his head and said proudly, "I won't bully you as long as my grandma supports me. How long are you waiting for?"
This sentence made Mrs. Mei laugh again, and she called Sister Shan repeatedly, "I am so teased by these two little beasts, come and help me."
Sister Shan came over with a cushion, "Only Mrs. Shen can make our Young Master Mei suffer a loss."
Gu Jin stood up and asked Sister Shan to put down the mat. Who knew that her uncle was pressed under the chair? As soon as she stood up, she heard a slight "sting" sound and a piece of her clothes was torn.
Mei Ronghuo suddenly looked arrogant and said, "You just bullied me, now is the retribution coming?"
The smile on Mrs. Mei's face had not yet disappeared, "I'll have someone prepare a set for you to change later."
Gu Jin said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's a little torn and can't be seen."
Liao Jia turned her eyes and retreated quietly.
The three people in the room continued to talk. After a while, Liao Jia walked in, holding a sewing box in her hand. She walked straight to Gu Jin and said softly, "I used to sew clothes for my brothers and sisters at home. If Mrs. Shen
If you don't mind, just let me mend the damaged areas of Mrs. Shen's clothes."
Gu Jin looked at the damaged area, shook his head and said, "No need to bother, just go back and replace it."
"I know Mrs. Shen doesn't care about a dress, but it doesn't look good when going out like this. I'll try sewing it first. If Mrs. Shen doesn't like it, I'll take it apart." Liao Jia said sincerely.
Having said this, Gu Jin couldn't refuse anymore, so she had to say, "I'll trouble you."
"It's my duty, Mrs. Shen, please don't be polite." Liao Jia smiled softly, then knelt down on the ground, threaded the needle and thread, held Gu Jin's uncle in one hand, and began to sew.
Gu Jin felt that this was not good and asked Sister Shan to get a small bench for Liao Jia to sit on.
Liao Jia refused to sit down, saying it was more convenient, so Gu Jin had to let her sit.
While chatting, Liao Jia had already finished sewing, bit off the thread, and showed it to Gu Jin, "What do you think, Mrs. Shen? If you don't like it, I'll change it."
Gu Jin lowered her head and saw a few small daisies in the damaged areas of her clothes. She was wearing a light yellow loose skirt today, while Liao Jia wore a darker yellow. It was not obtrusive or ostentatious, and looked very good.
"It looks great, thank you for your hard work." Gu Jin said with a smile.
Sister Shan helped Liao Jia get up, and Liao Jia was very gentle.
Mrs. Mei took one look at her, nodded her head and praised her, saying, "Yes, this girl is clever and handy, and she is good at singing porn/plum opera. She is liked in every way."
Sister Shan echoed, "Liao Jia knows that Mrs. Mei likes to rinse her mouth with tea when she gets up early. She collects the dew on the lotus leaves every day before dawn, boils it and makes tea. The whole yard can smell the fragrance of the lotus leaves."
Liao Jia hurriedly lowered her head and said, "It is a blessing that I can enter the Mei family and know you in my previous life. I am taken care of by Young Master Mei and Mrs. Mei in the Mei family. I always feel uneasy in my heart and want to do more to be able to bear it."
Such a great blessing.”
After she finished speaking, she turned her head slightly and said to Mei Ronghuo, "Young Master Mei asked me to sing for Mrs. Mei. It is Young Master Mei's filial piety. I dare not let down Young Master Mei's filial piety."
These words touched Mrs. Mei's heart again, and Mrs. Mei was filled with relief.
Gu Jin glanced at Liao Jia, smiled lightly and said, "You are serious."
"I am willing but afraid that I will do something wrong. As long as Mrs. Mei and Mr. Mei don't dislike me, it will be fine." Liao Jiacheng said fearfully.
"You did a good job." Mei Ronghuo looked towards Liao Jia.
Liao Jia's eyes sparkled slightly and she said happily, "I don't dare to take it. I just hope that I can do better in the future and be worthy of the kindness of Mr. Mei and Mrs. Mei."
