Chapter 288

Niu Hulu's depression was less than a month, and he quickly cheered up.

Although she didn't get the master's favor at all during this month, Fujin rewarded her constantly.

Seeing that it was already the end of the year, Niu Hulu took the things in his hands and went to the other grids.

It's also thanks to Fujin, otherwise she might not have so many good things that can be used as favors.

Go to Genggege's residence first.

Niu Hulu didn't dare to go to see Wu Gege rashly - I heard from people in the mansion that Wu Gege and Gu Fangfujin had a good relationship, and Wu Gege was the first group of people to enter the mansion.

Although the master didn't go to Wugege's place very much, he still kept some face.

The same goes for Fujin.

A well-behaved old man should be treated more favorably - Fujin also wanted to use Wu Gege to set an example for the people around him.

Geng Gege lives in the southwest corner of the Old Summer Palace. This place is called Yingshui Lanxiang. The southeast is Diaoyuji, and the north is Yinyue Pond and Zhigengzhi. The name sounds very quiet.

It's a pity that it's too quiet - the fourth elder brother basically hasn't been here for a year.

The other concubines, Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Na, and Mrs. Chun are all in the small courtyard next to them, not far away, facing Geng Gege's Yingshui Lanxiang, forming a star-like momentum.

After all these years, although Geng Gege still has the desire to compete for favor, he is no longer the same as he was eager to try a few years ago. In addition, the situation in the mansion is gradually solidifying, and the fourth elder brother does not come here, so Geng Gege used to be cautious. Also put away.

Perhaps what is revealed now is the true face of her heart.

What Geng Gege likes most now is to ask Mrs. Chen and the others to roll dice and wipe cards, and they have been wiping cards since getting up in the morning.

Being able to play for a full day can be regarded as a spiritual sustenance.

Geng Ge is not favored, and Ge Ge's status is not high enough - the charcoal used to burn the floor heating basin in the house is not as good as Gu Yaoyao's. It has been on for a long time, and it is smoky, and the room is filled with a damp smell. heat.

Smoky.

There were melon seeds smashed all over the house, and the old maids were not in a hurry to clean them up. After Gege and a few concubines finished sharing the change, they left some bits and pieces to give to the old ladies.

Hearing that Niu Hulu Gege came over, Geng Gege was playing cards in high spirits, and he was full of disapproval to the unexpected visitor: "Just say that I'm not feeling well, and I haven't woken up after taking a nap, let her go back!"

Mrs. Chen was at the side, rolled her eyes, and persuaded Geng Gege in a soft voice: "I heard that this new Gege——Fu Jin has been rewarding constantly recently."

It means that the people who are supported by Fujin should give some face anyway, so they shouldn't be too self-willed.

Nashi and Chunshi also thought so, leaning on the table and nodding.

It is impossible not to hear such a big movement of playing cards inside. The servants went out and said that Ge Ge had fallen asleep. Would Niu Hulu believe it?

Ghosts believe it.

And this Niu Hulu family doesn't know what kind of temperament it is. If it is a high-minded person, it knows that there are Chun family, Na family and others playing cards inside. With Geng Ge Liwei, he couldn't step down.

Maybe I will bear the grudge from today on.

Then why?
Geng Gege ate a bowl of wine just now, at this moment he stretched out his hand and slightly loosened his collar, and said impatiently to Mrs Chen: "It's been a month since I entered the mansion, and there is no movement from the master - it's Fujin Look good, so what?"

Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "Everyone is here, let her come in anyway, I heard that she is still young, she is a half-grown child, it is so painful - just think that there will be another younger sister who wipes cards with you in the future." Is it not good?"

Hearing the last sentence, Geng Gege raised his eyebrows.

Mrs. Chen saw Geng Gege's expression was a little loose, so she turned her head, called the servants to come over, removed the dice from the card table, etc., and opened the window in the room.

The cold wind outside the house blew in, rustling the pages of the ledger book playing cards next to the table.

Geng Gege sat up straight in a grand manner, Nashi and Chunshi stood up and walked around behind her, staring at the door together.

Niu Hulu was brought in.

Although she is also Gege, she is a newcomer after all, unfamiliar with her place of life, and young and immature, so it is inevitable that she will be suppressed a bit.

Standing six or seven steps away from Geng Gege, Niu Hulu stopped and saluted Geng Gege respectfully and cautiously.

Geng Gege actually didn't return the courtesy, and just accepted it so abruptly.

Mrs. Chen was at the side, coughed slightly in embarrassment, covered her lips with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Sister, sit down!"

As she spoke, she turned her head and beckoned someone to bring Xiudun over.

Na and Chun were concubines, and when Niu Hulu finished saluting Geng Gege, the two had no choice but to go to salute Niu Hulu.

As for status, it doesn't matter if it's not important; it's important even if it's important.

Compared with real love, status can't suppress people.

But after all, it is a lower limit, a decent guarantee—otherwise, how can two old people salute a newcomer?

……

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Geng Gege felt that Niu Hulu was no longer in his eyes.

I don't know why Fujin took a fancy to this little girl?
His appearance was unremarkable, and his speech was meaningless—No matter what topic he talked about, Niu Hulu could only agree with him, and he had absolutely no ability to start a new topic, let alone lead the direction of the topic.

Just... dry.

Don't think it's just a chat - in fact, being able to chat well is also a skill.

Fourth master went to the newcomer's place, and it was impossible to stay overnight as soon as he came, and he always had to say a few words.

At the same opportunity, someone can make the master remember him with a few words, or make the master smile knowingly and feel happy.

Some people can only miss this opportunity in vain.

……

After making a conclusion on Niu Hulu in his heart, Geng Gege became more and more rude: "Your clothes belong to the mansion, right?"

Niu Hulu had just entered the mansion not long ago, logically speaking, he couldn't catch up with the sewing room to make new autumn and winter clothes for the masters in the backyard.

So her clothes can only be rewarded by Fujin.

Geng Gege said: "The clothes are pretty delicate."

The implication is that people are not beautiful enough to support the set of clothes given by Fujin.

Niu Hulu smiled.

Geng Gege originally thought that the little girl would be more or less self-effacing after hearing this, and maybe she would flatter herself a little more.

But I didn't expect Niu Hulu to just smile.

Geng Gege scolded in his heart: Just say it is a piece of wood!
Exactly.

Before leaving, Mrs. Niu Hulu stood up, turned her head and motioned for the maid to bring up the gift she had prepared in advance.

The brocade box was placed heavily on the table.

After all, I have been in the mansion for ten years, and I have never eaten pork, and I have seen pigs running - Geng Gege knows the weight of this meeting gift, and is even more surprised that this little girl is so generous.

She was stunned for a moment, and for the first time looked at Niu Hulu from top to bottom.
