Chapter 138 Gu Hui stayed behind

Bai Kou murmured a few very soft whispers behind Gu Yun, Gu Yun coughed dryly and interjected.

"Auntie, are third grandfather and uncle also vegetarian at home?"

"As long as they eat at home, they must be vegetarians. I don't know what they eat when they eat out, but their colleagues all know our family's eating habits. It's rare for them to go out for a month."

"That is to say, basically a year is mainly vegetarian?"

"Yes, even the lunch at the government office at noon is only rice and side dishes."

Gu Yun sighed heavily, got up and whispered to his mother and grandmother respectively, and told him what Bai Kou told him earlier.

Why was it difficult for the four daughters-in-law to conceive before the separation, but after the separation, they gave birth to children one after another, especially the second and third siblings who were in the middle of the family have now given birth to two, but the elder sister-in-law has no more children after giving birth to her daughter The movement, the reason is obviously related to the man's vegetarianism. The incomprehensible vegetarian habit of the third grandfather's family has caused the crisis of children in the family today.

The old lady and the eldest lady were in a dilemma. They were both mothers, so they could see that Gu Hui had to put in more effort than taking care of a healthy child if he wanted to return to normal. The patriarch Fang couldn't really watch their mother and daughter die.

"How about it, Hui'er stays here and plays at home for a few days. If she likes here and can adapt to life in the mansion, we can discuss it in the long term. A good girl like this, I know you are also suffering, Mrs. Ou." The lady finally spoke.

Ou Shi got up excitedly and knelt down to kowtow, while Gu Hui was still sitting like a wooden figure, licking the lollipop one after another.

Mama Pang went out immediately, called Jin Hu and the others to come in, sent Gu Hui back to Jicheng Hall first, cleaned up the back building and settled the little girl.

Mrs. Ou thanked her again and again, and asked Mama Pang to send someone to follow her to find the carriage she was in when she came. There were children's clothes and bags in the carriage, it was obvious that she had already made preparations.

Seeing that it was not too early, thinking that her husband might have already returned home, and told her daughter to play here for a few days, she hurriedly left.

Bai Kou watched an inexplicable scene, and felt that the housework of the Third Grand Master was too superb. Now that Gu Hui is placed here, if he doesn't take care of it well, it will be said that it is the responsibility of the Duke's House.

Gu Yun was also very depressed, he didn't expect how to catch up with such a thing, if he really wanted to keep Gu Hui at home, the painstaking effort and energy he put in was definitely much more than the little money that the Ou family gave him.

After the Ou family and Gu Hui left, the old matriarch was also tired, and the eldest lady resigned immediately. Gu Yun accompanied his mother to Jicheng Hall, and Bai Kou followed silently.

Back in Jicheng Hall, the eldest master and the sixth young master have also returned to rest, the young master went back to sleep first and did not know about Gu Hui, the elder was sitting in the hall drinking tea, Gu Huijing accompanied the last seat, holding a cup of tea in his hand. If she didn't throw away the candy stick after eating, she would suddenly kick people emotionally when the girls wanted to take the stick from her hand. After repeated several times, no one dared to come forward.

Da Furen and Gu Yun saw this impasse when they stepped into the door, and it was too late to regret it.

The Elder Master understands the causes and consequences of the separation of the four sons of his third uncle’s family as well as his mother and wife. After all, when the old Duke intervened in this matter, he was still in office in another place, and he only listened to it when he returned to Beijing to report on his duties at the end of his term of office. The family members said that now he also feels uncomfortable seeing Gu Hui who looks like this.

Gu Yun looked back and saw that Bai Kou didn't follow into the house, so he asked people to go out to find her. Bai Kou was actually standing in the courtyard, and when he heard the call, he hurried in, and was immediately stunned by the strange stalemate in the room. Looking at Gu Hui, she immediately understood.

"The maidservant will go back to Wenling Courtyard and be right back." After speaking, Bai Kou ran away.

Da Furen and Gu Yun sat down to rest respectively, wanting to see what Bai Kou could do. Just in time, the maid who followed Ou Shi to find the carriage led Gu Hui's personal maid, Shui Zhen, into the house to kowtow, but she couldn't do it from herself. The lady took the stick from her hand.

The Wenling Courtyard was bustling with activity. The girls who helped to light the fire had returned a long time ago and brought back a lot of unused ingredients. They were eating and chatting when they saw Bai Kou rushing in.

"Bai Kou, you're back from Rong'en Hall? What does the old lady want from you?"

"Don't mention it, the mess of the third grandpa's family has implicated the mansion again."

When Bai Kou was running, the small kitchen found a big soup bowl from the cupboard, then picked some vegetarian skewers from the Malatang simmering on the tea stove, then made a bowl of salted edamame, and took a few Food dish, and finally took a small stack of mulberry paper to put a food box together.

"What happened to the third grandpa's house?" The facts of the last time were still fresh in the memory, and everyone's face collapsed when they heard that it was related to the third grandpa's house.

"I'll tell you later when I'm free." Bai Kou wanted to pick up the food box and leave, but she was still hungry, so she ate two pigeon legs and a lollipop earlier, and now she saw the food in the pot. The boneless chicken feet were simmered just right, and the saliva couldn't help flowing. He grabbed two skewers and gnawed them before leaving.

Bai Kou rushed back to Jicheng Hall, first grabbed a girl and asked about the situation inside, and then walked into the hall after knowing what was going on. The atmosphere inside was still weird, and Gu Hui sat motionless, still holding the stick in his hand.

The maids helped Bai Kou open the food box, and put the food inside on the small table next to Gu Hui. Gu Hui blinked when he saw so many food on sticks.

Bai Kou first took a piece of mulberry paper and folded a cardboard box, then picked up a bunch of bean rolls from the soup bowl and ate them in big mouthfuls. After eating, he threw the stick into the box, and then reached out for a bunch of vegetarian sausages keep eating.

Gu Hui watched Bai Kou eat three or four skewers in one go, and finally made a move. He threw the sugar stick in his hand into the paper box, followed Bai Kou's example, took a bunch of mushrooms from the soup bowl and opened them awkwardly. eat.

The master, girls and servants who were watching quietly at the side suddenly felt a sense of relief, and their tense shoulders relaxed together.

Bai Kou watched with a smile as Gu Hui ate one bunch of mushrooms and took the second bunch, while she changed hands to eat edamame beans, and threw the bean shells into the paper box.

The child who was forced to be a strict vegetarian due to lack of meat since childhood has mental retardation, slow reaction and abnormal mood. I don’t know whether Gu Hui is mentally retarded or not, but everyone can see the slow reaction and abnormal mood. Whether it can return to normal, her mother, Mrs. Ou, must have decided to send her here because she has no way to save her daughter. After all, how would outsiders know that this stupid girl was actually hurt by her parents and elders.

Gu Hui ate a few skewers and imitated Bai Kou to eat edamame. Looking at her clumsy articulation, she knew that she had never eaten this, maybe she hadn't even knocked melon seeds before, and she peeled the beans with both hands, but she knew how to peel the beans. The shells are thrown into the carton.

The old man felt really uncomfortable looking at it, so he went into the bedroom to take a lunch break.

Bai Kou took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and left the rest of the food for Gu Hui, and then someone outside the door said that the back building had been cleaned up, so Shui Zhen went to pull her own lady, and wanted to take her back to the back first rest.

At this moment, Gu Hui suddenly became irritable again, screaming and pushing Shui Zhen away, all her mind was on eating.

The eldest lady was also helpless, and told the servants and maids to take good care of her, and she also went back to the bedroom to rest.

Both parents rested, and Gu Yun didn't stay any longer, he just picked up Bai Kou and left.
