Zhou glanced at Gu Xiang and felt that she really didn't live up to expectations.
Since you want this marriage so much, you should join in with Gu Yi to please Mrs. Wu'anhou. You can't let go of your figure because of your airs, and you don't want others to bother. Who is this look on!
If you don't work hard yourself, what's the use of relying on others' help.
"Yixiao is here, please invite her in quickly." Mrs. Zhou smiled, then turned to Madam Wu'anhou who was listening to the music and said, "Mrs. Wuanhou, Yixiao is here."
"Oh? She's here?" Mrs. Wu Anhou came back to her senses, feeling a little surprised. It had been so long, and she thought she wouldn't come.
When Gu Yi saw that Mrs. Wu Anhou's attention was not here, she was so angry that she played a wrong note. She panicked and even forgot how to continue.
Mrs. Wu'an Hou suddenly turned around. She smiled awkwardly, then stood up and apologized: "Madam, I'm sorry."
It's just that I can't play this song anymore.
Mrs. Wu'an Hou smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I usually see little girls like you. I rarely hear your music, and I think it's good. The three girls' piano skills are also among the best in this imperial city."
Gu Yi's piano skills are indeed good, and she is well-known among the noble girls in this imperial city. Otherwise, she would not have dared to show it off in front of Madam Wu'an Hou, but she didn't expect to be interrupted midway.
Gu Yi suppressed the anger in her heart and showed a smile on her face: "Thank you Madam for your praise. With Madam's words, A Yi has spent so many years of practice in vain. She doesn't dare to slack off even if it's hot in summer and cold in winter. Now she is considered complete.
Already."
Mrs. Wu'an Hou nodded: "The third girl's piano skills are indeed good."
Mrs. Wu Anhou was actually quite satisfied with Gu Yi, but she felt that this girl was not good enough to be her daughter-in-law. She had too many thoughts and was seductive and seducing men. She did not want such a daughter-in-law.
But there was a nephew in her natal family. Although he was also a legitimate child, he was not the eldest son. That bastard ran around the Willow Street and Flower Alley all day long. There were several concubines in the yard, and they were messing around all day long.
She then thought that if Gu Yi married, she might be able to win her nephew's attention back. She didn't ask him to be outstanding in the future, as long as he was peaceful and contented.
Although her natal family is not as good as the Hou family, it is still a good family, and Gu Yi, a concubine, is just right for her.
It was precisely because of this that she was interested in listening to Gu Yi play the piano.
Ming Xin Mingjing helped Xie Yixiao come in from the door. She was wearing a water-blue waist-length undershirt, maybe because she was a little afraid of the cold. She also wore a half-sleeved double-breasted jacket embroidered with camellia, which made her look green and elegant.
However, it is precisely because of her elegant and elegant appearance that she looks thinner and thinner, and her pale and bluish complexion seems to be unable to be concealed even by a thick layer of makeup.
Mrs. Wu Anhou was startled, and she was so shocked that she could no longer hold the handkerchief in her hand.
She did know that Xie Yixiao was ill. She had been ill for such a long time, and Marquis Changning did not just leave her to fend for herself. The government doctor saw her, and so did the outside doctors, and the imperial doctor was also invited. In this way, naturally
The news has spread.
"Thank you, girl?"
Xie Yixiao smiled weakly, supported her by the mirror and stepped forward to salute: "I've met my aunt, I've met Mrs. Wu'an Hou."
When saluting, it is also necessary to pay attention to the relationship between dignity and kinship. Mrs. Wu'anhou and Zhou are the wives of the same first-class marquis, and Zhou is her eldest aunt, so when she salutes, she must first salute to Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou was a little frightened when she saw how weak she was. She asked her maid to help her sit aside: "Sit down quickly. I saw that you were feeling better two days ago. Why are you feeling weak again today? But
Are you sick again?"
Zhou actually treated her sincerely, and her worries at the moment were really worries.
Xie Yixiao was supported by Ming Xin Mingjing and sat down on the side. She took a breath and then said slowly: "It's not that. I'm just a little afraid of the cold and feel a little cold."
This is true. After such an illness, my body is really weak. It is already March. Other girls have already changed into spring clothes, but she has to take a small coat with her when she goes out.
Otherwise, when the wind blows, I feel chilled in my bones.
After hearing her words, Mrs. Wu Anhou pursed her lips slightly, thinking, if she feels cold at this time, could it be that she has been injured due to a serious illness?
If this hurts the body, it will be difficult for the heirs in the future, and there will be no eldest son, which will be embarrassing.
Mrs. Wu'an Hou previously thought that the Zhou family was unwilling to marry Xie Yixiao into the Wu'an Hou Mansion, fearing that the marriage would become a matter between the Wu'an Hou Mansion and the Xie family, and the Changning Hou Mansion would not benefit from it, so she did not want to let her see Xie Yi.
laugh.
But now that she saw it, Zhou indeed did not deceive her.
To be so thin, with a pale and bloodless face, it is obvious that the illness is not serious, and it did not happen overnight, and it is not yet healed. To put it bluntly, I don't know how many days I can survive.
Mrs. Wu'anhou stopped thinking at that time, but she also felt that it was really pitiful that she was so ill, so she said: "You girl, you are so ill, why do you still come here? Although I am also your elder, but I can't go to see you."
It seems that you are also able to do it."
Xie Yi smiled and said, "It's only right that I come to see Madam. I don't dare bother Madam."
Mrs. Wu'an Hou said again: "Speaking of your illness, have you ever seen a doctor or taken any medicine?"
Mrs. Zhou said: "The doctor in the house was invited back by the Marquis before. He is also good at treating people. He also invited doctors from the Imperial City and the imperial doctor from the Imperial Medical Garden.
.”
The wife of the Marquis of Wu'an said: "Is it good that we never see each other?"
Zhou shook his head: "It's never been better."
In fact, Mrs. Zhou vaguely knew that Xie Yixiao was probably heartbroken, and she also knew that it was because of Gu Zhixuan. However, no matter how much she felt sorry for Xie Yixiao, she would not sacrifice her own son, not to mention that she felt that Xie Yixiao was not a big deal without his parents.
Geely is not suitable to be her daughter-in-law.
"I heard that there is an old doctor named Mr. Sun outside Beicheng. I heard that he has very good medical skills. He traveled all over the world in his early years and treated many difficult and complicated diseases. If you are willing, you can go and ask for him."
"really?"
"Of course I take it seriously. There is no reason for me to lie to you."
"Then I'll ask someone to ask about it later."
While the two were talking, a maid hurriedly came to report from outside the door: "Meet the madam, meet Madam Wu'anhou, and meet some girls."
Zhou frowned slightly, turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
She had clearly told her that she would entertain Madam Wu Anhou today and not to bother her unless there was no big deal.
The maidservant said hurriedly: "In reply to Madam, people from the second lady's natal family, the Sun family, are here. They say... they want to discuss the marriage between the second lady and the young master of the Sun family..."
