Chapter 71 My Father Just Misses Auntie and Third Sister
Qin Yinqing was about to speak again, but a girl next to her said: "If you don't want to play the harp, I won't play it. The piano is not bad, but my cousin has found a husband? If not, I have a recommendation here."
The speaker was Jiang Zhaoling, the second daughter of Marquis Wenxian's Jiang family. She was sixteen years old this year. Jiang was her great-aunt, so she and Xie Yixiao were cousins.
Jiang Zhaoling has always had a good relationship with Gu You and Xie Yixiao. They were sisters who grew up together, but they were only of Jiang family's blood. As for the other people in the Changning Marquis Mansion, let alone Jiang Zhaoling, the rest of the Jiang family looked down on them.
.
The reason is because of those past events.
In the past, the old Marquis loved his concubine Hu, but the Hu was so evil-hearted that she actually kidnapped the Marquis of Changning. That is to say, when the Marquis of Changning came to the imperial city, he remembered what happened when he was a child, and then returned to the Marquis of Changning's Mansion.
Jiang recognized each other and reunited mother and son.
After the incident, the Jiang family had people beat Hu to death, and wanted to break up with the old marquis and take their children away from the Changning Marquis Mansion. The old marquis refused and knew that he was guilty, so he gave up his title.
He gave it to the Marquis of Changning, and drove the son of the Hu family out of the house. He died of illness a few years later.
The Jiang family hates their elder Marquis Ning so much that he gnashes his teeth and almost digs up his grave. If the second master Gu had not been raised by the Jiang family for so long and had some friendship, the second wife and others would never have had an easy time.
"Not yet. If my cousin introduces me, that would be great."
The group sat for a while and saw another guest coming, so they went to Qinse Garden together. As soon as they entered the courtyard, someone asked about Gu You.
"Then your eldest cousin is really sick?"
"What's going on now?"
"Can we go see her?"
Xie Yixiao shook his head: "It is true that she is a bit seriously ill. Grandma asked her to go out of the house to recuperate, and she is not in the house. When she comes back better, she will invite you to come over to enjoy the flowers and drink tea."
This was also the statement made by the Changning Marquis Mansion to the outside world. It was said that Gu You suddenly became seriously ill and could not get married, so he changed his bride. However, she was not in the manor and was sent to the village to recuperate and could not be visited.
This can be regarded as putting an end to her escape from marriage. Although the reputation of being seriously ill is not good, and it may have an impact when she comes back to propose marriage, but as of now, it is the best way.
Hearing what Xie Yixiao said, several girls were also a little worried.
Although these girls are not so kind every day, they will secretly compare their skills, clothes, jewelry, etc., trying to outdo each other, or quarrel over some unpleasantness, but in the end no one expects anything to happen to the other party.
Xie Yixiao asked people to bring tea and food, and invited everyone to drink some.
The tea is her own fruit tea. The pear slices saved last year are soaked in salt water and dried in the sun. They are paired with chrysanthemums, osmanthus, tangerine peel, Polygonatum odorifera, and icing sugar (rock sugar).
The taste is sweet and fragrant, but not greasy. The sweetness of pear is combined with the fragrance of chrysanthemum and osmanthus, and the sweetness of tangerine peel. It is also paired with pastries such as muffins, mince cakes, or pine nuts, walnut preserves, etc., girls.
Seems to like it very much.
"What kind of tea is this? It tastes so good."
"I prepared it myself. I still have some. If you like it, I will take some back later." Xie Yi smiled and saw that everyone liked it, and was very happy. "It contains dried pears, chrysanthemums, osmanthus, tangerine peel and polygonatum odorifera, and then add some icing sugar.
If you like it sweet, add more.”
"It clears away heat and moisturizes the lungs. It tastes quite good."
Several girls were moved when they heard this.
"Then we won't be polite."
"When I finish taking it, you will be angry."
"There's nothing to be angry about. I just dried a pear to dry. The rest of the things were bought in the store."
Xie Yixiao asked Ming Jing to wrap the prepared fruit tea in mulberry paper one by one. When the girls left, each of them took three or four packages. Before they left, Xie Yixiao also asked them to add icing sugar.
It depends on your own taste.
At the evening meal that day, Mrs. Jiang also set up several tables in the Shou'an Hall and invited the masters of the house to eat. The day before the girl's wedding, the family had a reunion dinner. She will get married tomorrow, and there will not be many opportunities for such a reunion.
.
Mrs. Jiang took Mrs. Zhou to a table with several girls, the aunts sat at another table, and the gentlemen and young masters sat at another table.
Jiang was sitting on the main seat, and Zhou was on her right as usual. As for Sun's previous position, Gu Xiang took it. Today she is the protagonist and deserves this position.
Gu Xiang's face was glowing today, and her smile was much more sincere. This was probably the most beautiful day for her in so many years.
No, maybe tomorrow will be even more beautiful.
Xie Yixiao drank the soup slowly, and the table was quiet. Jiang didn't say anything, and Zhou didn't say anything either. Gu Ying shrank her neck and acted like a transparent person. Gu Ying didn't look good, but she didn't dare to make any mistakes.
.
The aunt's table was also quiet, but the gentlemen's table had already started drinking, changing glasses, and it was quite lively.
The second master Gu and Gu Zhisong looked at each other, and then the second master Gu began to wipe his tears. The man shed tears, attracting everyone's attention, and the scene became a little cold.
Mr. Gu Er said sadly: "I just feel uncomfortable. Today is also a day for family reunion, but your aunt and your sister are not around. I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it."
"Father." Gu Zhisong also showed a sad look and wiped away tears.
The father and son were so pitiful, so pitiful.
The scene was quiet for a while.
Marquis Changning had a bad look on his face. He reached out and patted the second master Gu on the shoulder, and then said: "Second brother, Axiang is getting married tomorrow. Don't think about these things. Since you are confused, you will be completely confused.
Bar."
This sentence seems to have some warning meaning.
Although Marquis Changning is the elder brother, he has to admit that his younger brother is really stupid, and he is not born to the same mother.
Seeing that Mr. Gu had been with the Jiang family for many years, Marquis Changning had always taken good care of his half-brother and helped him clean up his mess.
But this time, Mr. Gu almost made Marquis Changning angry to death.
He actually dared to contact Prince Ning in his name.
Marquis Chang Ning also felt strange that Prince Ning was suddenly so enthusiastic towards him. After some inquiring, he found out that it was this stupid guy who was causing trouble. He actually wanted Prince Ning to come forward to protect his concubines and concubines.
female.
He hasn't settled the debt with this stupid guy yet, but he did it here.
"Uncle." Gu Zhisong took a deep breath and then begged, "My father just misses his aunt and third sister."
"Today is a day for family reunion. Without my aunt and third sister, it is indeed not complete. I also ask my grandmother and uncles and aunts to release my aunt and third sister for a family reunion."
