Lucky Star Gao Zhao

Chapter 216

After breakfast the next day, Wu Xuemei waited for Mrs. Gao's to come, and she wanted to see her well.

She has been curious about this for a long time. After the uncle came first, he told his mother that the Gao family is a good family, but the family background is too low. It is difficult to explain the reason directly. Why don't he go to Wucheng County and become a gentleman? It just happened that the gentleman from the county school went home to recuperate due to illness, and said that after he settled down, he would take his younger brother there, get in touch with the Gao family slowly, and then propose marriage after getting acquainted.

The mother was dissatisfied with Gao's family status, and said that she would let the younger brother live in the county, but she did not want to, but the cousin said that he would not care about it, so the mother had no choice but to agree.

Grandmother was very satisfied with Mrs. Gao's family after she went back. This time, my cousin didn't say anything until he returned to Beijing for three days.

Early in the morning, she sat in the living room with her daughter in her arms and waited until a message from a servant of Gao's family to Xi Bei came, saying that she and Mrs. Qian would not come when they heard of Jia's visitor.

Wu Xuemei was a little disappointed, but then she thought about how the Gao family knew about the Jia family's visitors, did they keep paying attention to the Jia family's movements?
She remained calm and said with a little regret: "If you still want to see Mrs. Gao, thank you in person. Mrs. Gao, who has suffered a lot these days, comes to accompany you every day."

Jia Xibei said proudly: "I told Sister Zhao that she must come to accompany me every day, or the relationship will be severed!"

"How about I go to Gao's house with some gifts, so I can thank him in person."

"Okay, take Cousin Hua there. Sister Qiaoyun is two years older than Cousin Hua. Let them get to know her too. Sister Qiaoyun is really fun."

Wu Xuemei asked the nurse in charge of the courtyard to go to Gao's house to talk first, and then ordered to prepare gifts.

Gao's family, Gao Zhao sent a letter to his family, and sent Xianglan to Qian's house to deliver a message, and then went to his mother's house.

While talking, someone from Jia's family came and said that he would come to visit in a while.

Gao Cui didn't hear clearly who was coming, Gao Zhao explained: "It's Wu Changliang's sister who came here, the one I saw yesterday was his sister."

"Oh, do you want to prepare a meal?" Gao Cui asked as the chief manager of the Gao family, and because the Jia family came to eat here.

Jiang Shi didn't know either, looking at his daughter, Gao Zhao said, "No need to prepare, I probably won't be staying for dinner, and I'm bringing a little girl with me."

"Then you go back to the house and change your clothes. It's not good to wear this when you meet guests later."

Gao Dian looked down at herself, a small flower padded jacket, a padded jacket and skirt on the lower body, a full-fledged village girl.

When she came back after changing her clothes, she saw that Qiaoyun had also changed, a satin embroidered padded jacket, embroidered by her mother herself, and a blue cotton skirt, this was the first time she wore it for going out to meet guests in winter and during the New Year.

Gao Zhaoxi said: "Qiaoyun looks really good wearing this."

Qiaoyun covered her face when her elder sister was about to come over, "Eldest sister can't kiss anymore, Qiaoyun has grown up."

Gao Zhao retreated, regretting, "Why does it feel like my sister has grown up in the blink of an eye?"

Jiang Shi pursed her lips and smiled, the eldest daughter always spoke like this, as if she was so old.

Gao Cui also went back to the house to change, and wiped her hair with sweet-scented osmanthus water, which Jiang had already tidied up, and she even wore a gold hairpin on her head.

Now Gao's family has also burned the kang, and the house is not cold, but Gao Cui is still holding the hand stove, sitting upright, with a serious expression on his face.

Gao Zhao touched his sister's little hand and said, "Auntie, it's not cold in the room."

"I see that big families all hold hand stoves like this. That's a face. By the way, why don't you guys use hand stoves?"

Immediately, a picture appeared in Gao Zhao's mind, the guests came in, and the four of them were sitting upright with no expression on their faces, each holding a stove in their hands, that picture, tsk tsk!
Gao Cui heard her niece snort, and hurriedly asked, "What? Is something wrong?"

"Auntie, you don't need to take it if your hands are not cold. We all take one, and it's all given by Sister Jia, isn't it good?"

Gao Cui hurriedly put down the hand stove, "That's right, then I'll put it back, so that people can see that we don't have a hand stove."

She walked out quickly, Jiang said to her daughter: "Auntie wants to take it, let her take it, why are you talking so much."

Gao Cui carried a hand stove with her wherever she went these few days, but she didn't dare to take it when she went out for fear of losing it, so today she also wanted to show off in front of the guests, and she asked her daughter to tell her.

Gao Zhao also regretted talking too much, so it's okay to let the aunt show off for a while.

When Auntie came back as if nothing had happened, Gao Zhao exaggerated that Auntie's skin is now white and her hands are smooth. Gao Cui was embarrassed and said, "It's a pity that I used that face cream and gave away those at once. , I said to use it for your mother. If your mother said to give it to me, don’t be reluctant, and don’t leave it unused. It’s so rough, you don’t need to scratch the thread when you do needlework.”

"Auntie, don't be reluctant, especially in winter when it is relatively dry. Use it after washing your hands. In spring, your hands will definitely look like peeled eggs. They are so smooth and tender."

She was so happy that Gao Cui pressed the back of her hand to her face, felt it, remembered something and hurriedly said: "Zhao'er, didn't you say that there is a little girl, Niang Juan, then we have to prepare a meeting ceremony, I forgot about it."

Jiang took out some little ladies' jewelry that he had bought for his eldest sister not long ago, and prepared them to be useful when the time comes.

"This is for the eldest sister, and it will be a meeting gift when I come here later."

Gao Cui took it, and saw that it was a small head flower, just suitable for a two or three-year-old girl.

"Thank you, Juanniang. I will also prepare a few in the future. In case a guest from the family brings a young lady, I will also take it out."

Before she could speak, Jiang smiled, and reported to Jia's family outside.

Gao Zhao opened the door and went out to greet him.

I saw the young woman I saw yesterday leading the little girl, followed by Jia Xibei and Yu Qingwa.

Gao Zhao didn't know how to address her, so she called Sister Wu and followed Jia Xibei's address, but she couldn't react for a while, so she had to salute first.

"Sister Zhao, this is my cousin and my cousin Hua."

Wu Xuemei was disappointed when she saw Gao Zhao, but she also smiled and said, "It's Sister Zhao, I'm Xun Sheng's eldest sister, please call me Sister Mei."

"Sister Mei Ann."

Gao Zhao opened the door, and after several people entered the room, she closed the door again.

Wu Xuemei led her daughter to the middle of the room, saluted and said, "Aunt Jiang, Aunt Gao."

The Jiang family was fine, but Gao Cui stood up all of a sudden, and hurriedly said, "Get up, Zhao'er, quickly let Xunsheng and his elder sister take a seat."

This eldest sister is too imposing, although she has a gentle attitude, but the way she walks and salutes, including smiling, has an indescribable air, which makes Gao Cui unable to sit still.

Wu Xuemei asked her daughter to greet her again. Jiang Shi didn't know how to deal with such a strict look at such a young age. She had never seen such a person.

After hearing Qu Meihua's self-proclaim, Gao Zhao took Qiaoyun by the hand, walked up to him, and knelt down, "Your name is Hua, right? This is my sister Qiaoyun, she is five years old."

Qu Meihua looked at her mother, and Wu Xuemei said, "Sister Hua, these are Aunt Zhao and Aunt Yun."

"Aunt Zhao, Aunt Yun."

There is no need for the Gao family to ponder seniority, that's settled.
