Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 117 Eavesdropping on the Corner
Gu Sixiao followed up and asked, but Su Jingchun just smiled and said nothing.

Looking at his appearance, he knew that he didn't say it on purpose. Gu Sixiao couldn't help but snorted coldly, "If you don't say it, don't say it. I will always guess it when the time comes! It's just that if you don't say it now , when the time comes, I guessed the wrong person and helped the wrong person, so don't blame me instead..."

When she was speaking, her eyebrows were raised slightly, and she squinted at Su Jingchun, full of provocation.

Seeing her expression, Su Jingchun smiled instead, "You don't need to be aggressive, no matter how hard you say it, I won't say it."

"As if who wants to hear it?" Gu Sixiao curled her lips and turned her head, just in time to see a familiar carriage passing by.

He couldn't help but took two quick steps, and when the carriage stopped in front of the mansion, he smiled and called, "Sister Wanhua!"

The woman who got out of the car turned her head, smiled slightly, glanced at Su Jingchun, bent slightly, and gave a salute.

"Young Master Laosu."

"Mistress Xue, you don't have to be polite. I brought your little sister back from Songjiang, so I should worry about her..."

"Why did you ever worry about me?" Gu Sixiao retorted reflexively, and after finishing speaking, she knew it was too casual.

Lowering her eyes, she secretly glanced at Su Jingchun, turned around and put Xue Wanhua on her arm, and said with a smile: "Sister, it's really hard for you to come back so late."

"It's okay, it's just that some accounts have not been read, so I came back late. But you, even though someone came to the shop to upload a message, it still makes people feel at ease. Next time, if you come back late, ask the person who sent the message to make it clear. With someone——this way, my sister can feel at ease."

Nodding, Gu Sixiao turned her head and gave Su Jingchun a salute, without asking about the chess pieces, she walked into the door directly holding Xue Wanhua's arm.

Holding Xue Wanhua's arm and looking at her half sideways, Gu Sixiao felt a little delicate.

Xue Wanhua was born beautiful, not the beauty of Xiaojiabiyu, nor the dignity of a lady, but the beauty of open-mindedness and shrewdness.

She likes this elder sister, no matter whether she is related by blood or not, she really appreciates such a woman.

But now looking at her pursed lips, lowered eyebrows, and thinking of the words Xue Wanying said before, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

"Sister, do you - do you like Mr. Su?"

She asked in a low voice, but Xue Wanhua was taken aback and withdrew her hand suddenly. She looked at Gu Sixiao and said in a hurry: "What are you talking about? Don't talk about such things..."

"What I asked was too abrupt." Gu Sixiao was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "It's just that I saw the way you looked at Mr. Su. Although it was just a faint glance, I think..."

"Stop talking!" Xue Wanhua interrupted Gu Sixiao's words directly, and Xue Wanhua seemed to be suppressing her anger, "Hua'er, don't spread these words indiscriminately, not only will it damage my reputation, but it will also damage Mr. Su." reputation."

For Su Jingchun's sake, doesn't it mean that her guess is correct?

"I just don't want my sister to miss out on a great marriage. Although my sister has made up her mind long ago, I'm afraid she is suffering in her heart? I think my sister doesn't like Guanshi Li..."

"What else do you know?" Xue Wanhua smiled instead, "I think Hua'er really knows about people, and I'm afraid that like your third sister, she's going to have a marriage proposal—Hua'er,"

She called out in a low voice, and said lightly: "The matter of marriage is not just about your heart, you will understand this truth sooner or later..."

Without looking at Gu Sixiao again, Xue Wanhua walked straight in, leaving Gu Sixiao behind.

Shaking her head, Gu Sixiao followed slowly, but did not say anything about Xue Wanying.

It is indeed like what Xue Wanhua said, the matter of marriage is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, even if she really said it, it may not change anything, right?

I just don't know if Xue Wanying will really go to Xue Wen and tell her about her relationship with Li Chongyang, so as to save the two sisters from suffering.

Putting his mind down, Gu Sixiao went to the Golden Tower every day to act as a buddy, watching more, doing more and less talking, all he wanted was to learn how to do business from Xue Wanhua.

It's just that for some reason, Xue Wanhua didn't take her in and out with her these two days, but brought Xue Wanying with him, even when he went out to meet guests, he also brought Xue Wanying with him.

In front of her, Xue Wanying said with a smile, "we are the real sisters after all", but Gu Sixiao just pretended not to hear it.

In fact, she could more or less guess that Xue Wanhua was probably annoyed by what she said.

It's inevitable that she would be annoyed if she was suddenly told something off her mind. If she tried to talk about something else right now, it would only be counterproductive.

She wasn't jealous either, she worked hard in the shop and only did her own thing, but she became a little more familiar with the guys in the shop.

Within a few days, he received an invitation from the He Mansion.

Everyone in the Xue family was amazed. Xue Wanying, who had been showing off in front of her for the past few days, was angry and hated, even in front of the old lady, she forgot her appearance.

Just like that, he yelled at Gu Sixiao: "What's there to be proud of? Isn't it just to go to a banquet! What happened to the official's house? There are many officials in Jinan's mansion! I used to go to the chief minister's house to eat What about the wine! Look at how you want to laugh but don’t smile, and you don’t even look at who you are, just to help find the magistrate’s daughter! Let’s see how many times I can invite you..."

"Yingying!" This time, the old lady Xue didn't lean towards Xue Wanying any more, and directly yelled with a downcast face: "It's so unruly, and it will be laughed at if it spreads like this!"

"Grandmother!" Xue Wanying was angry and ashamed, stomped her feet heavily, turned around and left, and deliberately bumped into Gu Sixiao.

"This child is usually fine and treats you well, but why does he look like this today..." Mrs. Xue complained angrily, then looked at Gu Sixiao and smiled: "Don't annoy your sister, she also It's just playing with a petty temper, but her heart is the best. You know that she is so kind to you. "

"Yes, granddaughter knows." Gu Sixiao smiled, but said in her heart:
What is Xue Wanying's temperament and how she treats me, don't you know?It's impossible to hide the affairs of this family from others!Xue Wanying hasn't played tricks on her behind her back recently, but that's all.

Even though she was kind and gentle in front of others, she was still sarcastic behind her back, and it was impossible to say that she was kind to her.

But in front of the old lady, of course he didn't say these things.

She didn't say anything, so Mrs. Xue was happy to pretend to be confused, "Hua'er, you are new here, and many people are not familiar with you. I think most of the people Mrs. He invited are unknown to you. Why don't you let Yingying accompany you?" You go, so that I can introduce you to the ladies and wives of the various prefectures, so that you won't be rude."

After hearing this, Gu Sixiao was delighted.

The old lady forgot that she knew most of the people in Lin's house last time.However, when I said this, I didn't really think about her, but I wanted Xue Wanying to show her face more, right?
That's right, Xue Wanying is old enough, and it's time to discuss marriage.

Without intentionally evading, Gu Sixiao agreed without hesitation. The old lady didn't have time to say what she had prepared, but she was a little suspicious.

"It's all about brothers in war. Although I'm not going to war, but no matter what time it is, sisters are the best. My sisters and I can only live better if we help each other—sight, I'm right !"

"Yes, of course it is right!" Mrs. Xue looked at Gu Sixiao with regret.

It's a pity, if these are real sisters, maybe the two sisters Wanhua and Wanying really have a helper.

The news of going to He Mansion for a banquet together reached Xue Wanying's ears in a blink of an eye.

Xue Wanying didn't show her face or say anything else, but picked out a new set of clothes in the shop.

Coincidentally, Gu Sixiao was in the elegant room, and overheard her talking to Li Chongyang.Hearing the voice, she couldn't go out anymore, she wanted to avoid it but there was no place to avoid it.

"Wearing this new hairstyle tomorrow, Yingying will definitely look stunning. Perhaps, she will be spotted by some lady—congratulations!"

The voice is gentle, but this sour tone.

Xue Wanying gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "Thank you, Big Brother Li. With your good words, if I can really be attracted by a lady, marrying a good family, it will be my blessing——and even Brother Li's blessing!"

Turning around, she walked away a few steps, and suddenly echoed again, cursing bitterly: "Li Chongyang, you bastard!"

After cursing this sentence, she turned and ran away.

Gu Sixiao sighed secretly, thinking that maybe Li Chongyang was leaving too, but didn't want the door to be pushed open suddenly.

Looking at each other, Li Chongyang was startled at first, then calmed down, looked at Gu Sixiao with a smile, and said lightly: "I didn't expect Miss Gu to be here—Miss, although the habit formed is difficult to change, but Anyway, you are now a young lady from a rich family, so it’s not always like this, is it?”

Knowing that he meant that she had been a girl, she was used to listening to corners.

Gu Sixiao smiled, and didn't feel annoyed, she just said: "Guan Li is right, some bad habits are not easy to change, if people know about it, I'm afraid it will be a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket."

Squinting his eyes, Li Chongyang stared at Gu Sixiao, just smiling.

Knowing that Li Chongyang tabooed her, Gu Sixiao didn't care.

The next day, she and Xue Wanying went to the He Mansion for a banquet.She was still talking and laughing, looking at Xue Wanying as usual, it didn't look like she had heard Xue Wanying's privacy at all.

Xue Wanying was one of the rare people who didn't mock her anymore, and didn't even wear the new hair she got that day.

Along the way, he was full of worries and had a gloomy expression, which made the two girls who followed him cautious and did not dare to speak loudly.

However, Gu Sixiao ignored that. When he arrived at He Mansion, he first visited Mrs. He, then went to the back garden, chatting and joking with He Yue and the invited companion Lin Mo Niang, and didn't pay much attention to Xue Wanying.

There are not many guests invited by the He Mansion today, much less than when the Lin family invited them before.

However, the banquet in the back garden was still lively.As soon as He Yue saw Gu Sixiao, she pulled her and said that the theater troupe invited today would sing for a day.

Hearing the word troupe, Gu Sixiao laughed.

Although Su Jingchun didn't say anything, she knew that there must be chess pieces made by him in the troupe.

It's just that she didn't know who it was, and she accepted the playbook handed over, she pushed it away with a smile, and handed it to Madam He instead.

The chess pieces arranged for Mrs. He must be playing what Mrs. He likes to watch.Come to think of it, that person will definitely appear in Madam He's play.

I just don't know if this chess is as useful as they thought.
