Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 105 Obstruction
When returning to Xue's house, Gu Sixiao was still a little dazed.

She just said who she was!Su Jingchun didn't call the Taoist to "catch ghosts"!How could you say "help her"? !

Did she hear it wrong, or was she just dreaming today? !

A little dazed, she patted her head, and when she heard Xiaodie calling her, she immediately smiled reflexively.

However, when she glanced over Xiaodie and saw Xue Wanhua clearly behind her, she couldn't help being stunned.

"Sister," Gu Sixiao walked up to her quickly, and Gu Sixiao smiled naturally, "It's really a sin to worry about my sister."

"What sins are not sins? My sisters, don't talk about these..." After returning home, Xue Wanhua, who changed into women's clothes, was even more gentle.

Pulled Gu Sixiao and smiled: "Besides, I'm not worried. Although Su Jingchun is as cunning as a fox, his character is still trustworthy."

Didn't you say there was a suspicion? !

Gu Sixiao turned her head to look at it, but Xue Wanhua didn't seem to notice, she just smiled and pulled Gu Sixiao over, "Come and have a look at these fabrics, I told Aunt Yun, the people from the sewing room will come over to measure your clothes tomorrow, Let’s make this skirt first—well, I think this silver-red one is the most beautiful, bright and playful. Huaer, what color do you like?”

"It's better to be simple and elegant," Gu Sixiao replied with a smile, turned her eyes, saw the jewelry boxes on the table, and couldn't help saying: "Sister, you and daddy have already given me a lot of jewelry before, so I really don't need to buy any more jewelry." Here comes the jewellery."

"It's your first time to attend the flower viewing banquet, how can you be underestimated!?" Xue Wanhua pinched Gu Sixiao's cheek with a smile, and said softly: "Hua'er, although you haven't changed your surname to Xue, in my heart, you Both are my younger sisters like Yingying, I won't be partial to any one..."

After a pause, she sighed again: "There is no boy in our Xue family. The only ones we can rely on are our sisters. We can't let the family business passed down by our ancestors be lost in our hands. Huaer, my sister is looking forward to it." How can I have a good helper like you!"

Along with laughing, Gu Sixiao didn't know what to say.

What can she say?Was Xue Wanhua telling the truth?She said she would not be partial, but how dare she believe that Xue Wanhua really treated her and Xue Wanying equally?

She didn't speak, Xue Wanhua didn't go on, just said in a low voice: "I still remember the situation when my eldest sister married far away in the capital, she told me that if she hadn't made a marriage contract since she was a child, she would have stayed at home to support this Secondary burden—she is so stupid, she thinks about us sisters, how can the sisters not think about her? She is so gentle and kind, how can she be tough enough to deal with those old foxes? Unlike me, they all say that I Born to be a little fox, full of tricks..."

With a low laugh, she turned her head away, "He thinks so too..."

In a word, Gu Sixiao raised his eyebrows.Although Xue Wanhua spoke vaguely, but this him? !

It doesn't sound like they are talking about Li Chongyang, does Xue Wanhua have someone else he likes?Not sure which one?
It was only she who looked at Xue Wanhua. Xue Wanhua had already reacted and turned sideways. She wiped the corners of her eyes and stood up in a disguised manner, "Really, I came here to help my sister choose materials, but she actually said these things. Huaer , you are tired too, just rest first, don’t rush to the shop tomorrow, um, I see you brought those materials back, maybe you want to make fans by yourself? Su Jingchun is a very capable person, yours The workmanship must be very good."

This is the second time she mentioned Su Jingchun.Good character!He has real skills!Obviously, there should be no friendship, but when meeting a person who has always been hypocritical and polite, he talked about his benefits in such a very understanding tone.

Very sensitive, Gu Sixiao's heart skipped a beat.Could it be that her sister likes Su Jingchun?

For a moment, she really wanted to ask, but before she did, Xue Wanhua had already left with a smile.

Swallowing the words to his lips, Gu Sixiao sent Xue Wanhua away, and was still thinking about it when he came back.

Xue Wanhua talked about her talent and appearance, and she was really as talented as Su Jingchun, but it was a pity that Su Jingchun would never marry, and her sister would never give up on the Xue family—what a pity!

"Little lady?"

When Xiaodie called her, she realized that she was sighing, "Oh, it's nothing, um, you can help me light some more candles later, I'm doing something."

Xiaodie agreed, but didn't move, she still looked at her until Gu Sixiao came to see her knowingly, and she said: "Little lady, that... Otherwise, don't go to the Lin Mansion to enjoy the flowers!"

Turning her head, Gu Sixiao looked at Xiaodie, and smiled faintly, "Why? It is said that going to the Lin Mansion to participate in the flower viewing banquet is an honor for all the young ladies in Jinan Mansion. Why, Xiaodie, persuaded me not to go! "

Under her gaze, Xiaodie lowered her eyes, a little uneasy, "Well, I just thought that there must be a lot of people going to the Lin Mansion, and there are many little ladies with eyes above the top. Being suspected of being the daughter of a merchant, I was afraid that the little lady would go and be ridiculed..."

"Really? Xiaodie, you are really loyal. You think of me like this." Gu Sixiao smiled softly, as if she didn't see Xiaodie's uneasiness.

"It's not unreasonable for you to think." Looking at the relieved Xiaodie, she laughed, "It's just..."

One is just that Xiaodie's expression has changed, but Gu Sixiao didn't seem to notice it, and still said: "It's rare that Mrs. Lin invited me. If I don't go, wouldn't I be too ignorant. Just think, I am Make a shield for my sister, if they ridicule her, they will only come at me."

"Little, little lady is really kind..." Xiaodie smiled and walked out, walking in a hurry.

Gu Sixiao lowered her eyes and smiled coldly, wondering if it was Xue Wanying's idea or Mrs. Xue's idea that made her not go to the flower feast.

However, no matter who it is, Xiaodie can't really reuse it.

Shaking his head, Gu Sixiao quickly put aside the matter.Xiaodie didn't know where she went, she knew it well, and without waiting for her, she called the little girl in and lit the candles, sorted out the materials, and started making fans.

What I made was a round fan, and I didn't use particularly expensive materials. It was just an ordinary bamboo ring covered with fine silk.This is the most common round fan,
The round fans sold in the street stalls cost more than ten or twenty renminbi. Although the materials are quite different, they are still made of this kind of material.

It's just that the seemingly inconspicuous material comes from her hands, which is another value.

On the second day, Gu Sixiao didn't go to the silver building either. When the people from the sewing room came to have her body measured, she still made her round fan as usual. less than.

No matter what Xiao Die had to say, it probably wasn't what she wanted to hear.

But one day, the skeleton of the round fan has been completed, and all that remains is to paint the fan on the white silk.

If the fan fails, the white fan is probably thrown on the stall, and no one cares about it.

"Little lady," Xiaodie came into the room before she started painting, as if hesitating, she pursed her lips, and after a long time, she said: "Just now I heard that the old lady is not feeling well, Aunt Yun is calling Doctor, look, do you want to go over and say hello?"

uncomfortable?When she went to say hello early in the morning, she never heard that Mrs. Xue was not feeling well!
I know there is a difference, but the word filial piety crushes people. If Gu Sixiao doesn't go to greet her at this moment, if it is spread by others, she will only get sick.

Furthermore, she also wanted to know what the hell Xiaodie was doing.

At the moment, without telling the truth, Gu Sixiao went to Cixuan Hall with Xiaodie.

At first I thought it was Xiaodie coaxing her, but I didn't expect that a doctor actually came out of Cixuan Hall.

I don't know what happened to the old lady. When Gu Sixiao entered the room, Xue Wanying was crying in the old lady's arms.

Seeing Gu Sixiao enter the door, she raised her head and took a look, then lay down again and cried, "I don't want to go to the flower feast, I will stay here to serve my grandmother..."

Should I say this to her or to Mrs. Xue?

Gu Sixiao's eyes flickered slightly, and she stepped forward to salute, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Gu Sixiao, the old lady Xue just supported her head and lowered her eyes, "Old, people are useless once they get old, and there is no place to feel comfortable all over the body. Yingying, get up quickly, grandma knows you are filial, but Grandma can't stop you young girls from playing, you don't have to stay, go and play!"

"Having fun is not as important as grandma!" Xue Wanying smiled, and then looked up at Gu Sixiao, "Your sister thinks the same way, right? Neither of us will go, just stay with grandma..."

Facing Xue Wanying's gaze, Gu Sixiao smiled warmly, "Sister is right, grandma, my sister and I will stay with grandma."

This illness is strange, maybe it's just to keep her from attending the flower viewing feast?
She knew it in her heart, but Gu Sixiao didn't mention it, she just went to take care of the sick during the day, and when she came back at night, she only said that she was tired and wanted to rest early, and drove Xiaodie back to her room.

Fortunately, since she entered Xue's mansion, she didn't let Xiaodie sleep in the outer room to watch the night. This would mean going to bed early, Xiaodie only thought she was tired and didn't suspect it.

Fearing that people would find out, she only lit a candle and stayed up all night to finish painting the fan in the dim light.

Although it seems that neither of them will go to the flower viewing banquet anymore, but Gu Sixiao knows in his heart that Xue Wanying will never not go to the flower viewing banquet.

Sure enough, on the first night of the flower viewing banquet, Mrs. Xue recovered from her illness without any medicine, so she graciously let the two girls go to play, so they don't have to accompany her anymore.

In front of the old lady, Xue Wanying looked at Gu Sixiao with regret and pity, "I'm afraid my sister won't be able to go, right? Didn't you say that you want to make a fan yourself? How can I send the fan to you now that I haven't finished it?" What? Oh, it doesn't matter, I can ask my sister to prepare a gift for you, but I'm afraid Miss Lin will think that gift is tacky."

"Let my sister worry about it, Xu Shi, I can get out if I stay up all night."

"Yeah, stay up late to catch up with work! My sister, don't get dark circles under her eyes, she's a shameful person."

Covering her mouth and laughing, Xue Wanying only thought that Gu Sixiao was really going to stay up late, but she didn't know that Gu Sixiao lit the candles brightly at night, but she fell asleep on the bed.

When I woke up the next morning, I felt refreshed.

Xiaodie came in to serve her, she didn't need Xiaodie, she just put on light makeup casually, and picked up a light jade hairpin to wear.

She didn't even wear the new clothes that Xue Wanhua asked the sewing room to make this time, but a spring shirt that she made when she just entered the mansion.

The light green spring shirt, paired with the hosta hairpin on the head, looks so elegant no matter how you look at it, standing beside Xue Wanying, it looks even more colorless.

Xue Wanying, who is dressed in silver and red, is bright and charming, full of jewels, looking at Gu Sixiao's expression, she almost missed pointing at her and saying "you are a girl".

Gu Sixiao didn't take it seriously, even after entering Lin's mansion, she was still generous, without even realizing that her body was too plain, and she didn't look like a young lady from a rich family at all.

The Lin family's flower viewing party is really famous, the car stopped in the courtyard of Ermen, when Gu Sixiao got off the car, he saw several young women getting off the car.

Although I didn't look carefully, but looking at the figure and clothes, they must be young and beautiful, and they must be from well-known and wealthy families.

Xue Wanying also saw those little ladies, but she just snorted and didn't go up to greet them at all.

Those little ladies glanced over here, but they just smiled, and when they turned around, they were surrounded by servants and maids.

Xiaodie who followed whispered in Gu Sixiao's ear: "Just those few who laughed at the third lady as a business woman..."
