Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 136

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xue would say such words, Gu Sixiao almost held her breath at that moment.

Turning to look at Xue Wanhua, she pursed her lips, wanting to remind Xue Wanhua that if she gave up on the Xue family, then Li Chongyang would take everything from the Xue family.

But when she opened her mouth, she swallowed the words again.

What qualifications does she have for saying such things? !Once she speaks, the old lady will accuse her of having evil intentions, right?

Looking at Xue Wanhua silently, she suddenly remembered that she had asked Xue Wanhua about it before.

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

If Xue Wanhua really likes Su Jingchun, maybe this is an opportunity.

There is no need to recruit a son-in-law, maybe, she can go...

Clenching her fists tightly, Gu Sixiao suddenly felt a little pain in her heart.

"Wanhua, how do you choose?"

Because of Mrs. Xue's deep voice, Gu Sixiao withdrew her mind and looked at Xue Wanhua steadfastly.

Closing her eyes, Xue Wanhua was silent for a long time, then opened her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I have been studying business with my father since I was 13 years old. For five years, I still remember that when my eldest sister got married, I told her that I would be good. Taking care of the Xue family, father and grandmother, will never let the Xue family lose in my generation..."

"Grandma, even today, I still say the same thing! I, Xue Wanhua, will not marry into the Xue family. I will take good care of the Xue family for the rest of my life!"

"Okay!" Mrs. Xue paused on her crutches, praised loudly, looked at Xue Wanhua, and said in a deep voice: "Since Wanhua made the choice, then there are two girls in my Xue family who are looking for husbands-this is another What's the big deal!?"

Hearing this, Gu Sixiao unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the solemn old lady Xue, she suddenly felt that Xue Wanhua really looked like old lady Xue.

Even if the old lady doesn't like her, she doesn't have much affection for the old lady, but she has to admit that the old lady of the Xue family is not an ordinary person.

With such a decision, he is more like a patriarch than Xue Wen.

Turning her head and looking at Li Chongyang, the old lady Xue said in a deep voice: "Since you agreed to join Xue's family, then this matter is settled. The wedding is not too late, and you and Wanying will get married in ten days. ..."

"Mother, is this too urgent? I don't know if it will be an auspicious day after ten days..." Xue Wen still hesitated.

The old lady Xue glanced at him angrily, "Can it be done if you don't rush? You still want to wait until Yingying has a big belly before paying homage? There are no taboos, what are you afraid of!?"

Turning around to greet Aunt Yun, she said lightly: "I will leave this marriage to you. I am too young to take it easy, and Wanhua is in charge of the business of the shop, so I don't have the time. You can do whatever you want." Lord will be fine."

"Yes, mother." Aunt Yun replied, but there was no joy on her face.

Although she is in charge, why isn't she usually in charge?Now I'm in charge of San Niangzi's marriage, if something doesn't go well, I don't know what she will do!

After waving her hand, the old lady Xue said lightly: "It's all gone! I'm tired too..."

"Mother, I'll take you back..."

Aunt Yun stepped forward to help, but the old lady put her hand on Xue Wanhua's.

Lowering her eyes, Aunt Yun had no choice but to back away, silently sending the old lady out.

"Uncle——no, my father-in-law..."

Li Chongyang climbed up the pole, but Xue Wen didn't smile.

Although he wanted Li Chongyang to be his son-in-law before, these things are really troublesome.

Shaking his head, he said in a deep voice: "Don't yell like that, you can change your words after you really pray! Xiaoyun, go back and rest!"

After walking two steps, he stopped again, "Chongyang, since you're married, it's not easy for you to stay at the house, you'd better go back!"

Without looking at Li Chongyang's expression, Xue Wen put his hands behind his back, passed by Gu Sixiao, he stopped again, "Hua'er, you should go to bed earlier, don't always stay up late carving things, it hurts your eyes."

"Yes, Daddy." Gu Sixiao responded, watched Xue Wen leave, and left without looking at Li Chongyang.

"Are you angry?" Li Chongyang asked with a smile behind her, "So what if you try so hard to steal the limelight? I'm not going to be part of Xue's family now! Gu Hua'er, you want to cheat me, why don't you Too tender!"

It's a joy to tear off the mask of hypocrisy like this!
Gu Sixiao thought in her heart, turned her head, looked at Li Chongyang and said with a smile: "I found out that you and the third sister are really a perfect match! They are both self-righteous! Li Chongyang, if you dare to show this in front of my father Face, I look up to you. Unfortunately, you dare not—at best, you are just a despicable villain! The hypocrisy is disgusting..."

With a sneer, Gu Sixiao turned and left without looking at Li Chongyang.

She despises such a villain.It's just that you have to be on guard, more on guard.If there is a chance, I will tell Xue Wanhua and be on guard against this villain.

Going around the flowers, Gu Sixiao exhaled lightly.

I just felt that the stale breath I had held in the hall just now disappeared in the cool air.

Hearing some movement in front of her, she couldn't help calling out, "Xiaodie?!"

What happened just now, ordinary maids and servants were driven back, could it be that Xiaodie came to pick her up now?

After only two steps, I saw a flashing lantern.

However, it was not Xiaodie who walked over quickly, but Qiaoer. Behind Qiaoer was Xue Wanying with an eager face, "How is it? It's gone already? What did grandma say?!"

"Congratulations to the third sister, ten days later will be a happy day."

Hearing this, she was happy at first, but also a little unhappy, Xue Wanying frowned and said: "Ten days later? Is it too urgent? My wedding dress hasn't been sewn yet. Besides, Brother Li hasn't bought a new house yet! Where will I live when I get married? ? There is no place to put my dowry..."

Gu Sixiao smiled, didn't intend to continue to answer, and just wanted to pass by.

Xue Wanying chased after her and asked, "Who is going to arrange the marriage? Grandma? I'll go find her..."

What a fool, how can I do this at a time like this...

"It's not grandma, it's Aunt Yun. Daddy is there." Gu Sixiao thought that after she said this, Xue Wanying would never go to Aunt Yun again.

But she didn't expect her to turn around immediately, "I'll go find her now, if she doesn't do well, I won't follow..."

He opened his mouth, but Gu Sixiao still didn't cry out.

Shaking her head, she didn't want to know how Xue Wanying made trouble with Aunt Yun, so she went straight back to her yard.

The next day, she heard people say that Aunt Yun was being dragged by the third lady, and she went to pick out a new yard in the middle of the night, and at dawn, a large number of craftsmen had been recruited to repair it.

Gu Sixiao didn't go to see it either, but only heard that Xue Wanying chose a yard next to the garden as her new house.He also asked Aunt Yun to repair the yard from the inside out.

"I heard that just repairing the yard would cost at least 500 taels of silver, which is enough to buy a house outside - it's also in a hurry, or else, it's not the price."

Xiaodie's news is very well-informed, and she talks to Gu Sixiao about these things almost every day: "I heard that all the embroiderers in Jinan have been invited to the house these two days, wedding dresses, and those All the pillowcases and quilts have to be finished within five days. Even at night, there are embroiderers working."

"Also, Aunt Yun has been shopping recently, and the money is flowing out like running water every day, and the things are moved home in loads—little lady, when you get married, you have to let the officials do the same for you. make arrangements for."

"Xiaodie," shouted in a low voice, Gu Sixiao looked at Xiaodie, and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk about this in the future, I don't want to marry yet..."

"The little lady is also recruiting a son-in-law?" Seeing Gu Sixiao's calm face, Xiaodie didn't dare to say any more, she bowed her head and retreated.

Although we get along these days, I know that Gu Sixiao is not a very harsh person, but I also know that this little lady is not the kind of soft-tempered master. If she is angered, maybe how to deal with her!

"Acquiring a son-in-law?!" She is not really a young lady of the Xue family, so what kind of son-in-law is she recruiting?
Standing up, Gu Sixiao thought about it, and went to the front yard to meet Xue Wen.

She originally wanted to tell Xue Wen to leave the shop and open the fan, but she didn't want to smell the medicine before entering the study.

Thinking that Xue Wen seemed to be coughing all the time these days, Gu Sixiao couldn't help worrying.

"Daddy, but you are not feeling well?" Holding Xue Wen, Gu Sixiao asked in a low voice: "Did you call the doctor to see it? How many days have you been taking this medicine? Has it worked?"

"It's okay..." Xue Wen coughed, but still waved his hands with a smile, "Come here, Hua'er, this is an old problem, dad, and it's not a big deal."

"If Dad hadn't been in poor health, he wouldn't have allowed your second sister to shoulder this burden at such a young age—it was in Songjiang Mansion that year—it's nothing..."

Xue Wen stopped talking, but Gu Sixiao asked in a low voice: "Dad's old illness, did it fall in Songjiang Mansion? Did he get sick there and not get cured?!"

Smiling, Xue Wen didn't speak.

"But to find me and my mother?" Looking at Xue Wen, Gu Sixiao wondered whether Xue Wen was sick or injured?
She still remembered that when Sun Tiancang was injured, Su Jingchun said that he injured his lung meridian, and he was afraid that there would be sequelae in the future.Xue Wen is always coughing like this, and his body is also weak. Does it also hurt the lung meridian? !
"Don't talk about that, I went too late..." Lowering his eyes, Xue Wen sighed in a low voice, then raised his head to look at Gu Sixiao, his eyes were a little dazed: "You actually look like your mother—— Bigger looks like..."

Biting her lower lip, Gu Sixiao didn't know what to say.What I wanted to say, I swallowed it back, and it was hard to say it.

If she couldn't say it for a while, she would have no chance afterwards. Until Xue Wanying's big day, she still didn't say anything about it.

Xue Wanying was overjoyed, although she was looking for a son-in-law, there were quite a few people who came to congratulate her. Apart from the old men of Xue's family, there were also many business partners, and even Su Jingchun also came to present congratulatory gifts.

This was the first time that Gu Sixiao saw Su Jingchun after the farewell in Qingshui County. Although he saw his figure from a distance, but when his eyes met, Gu Sixiao turned his head away as if he didn't see anyone.

Su Jingchun raised his eyebrows, passed the crowd, and walked directly towards her.

Out of the corner of his eyes, Gu Sixiao hurriedly whispered a few words to Aunt Yun, and found an excuse to leave.

Su Jingchun paused, but still followed with strides.

But he followed, and Gu Sixiao became more anxious. When she left the hall, there were still servants coming and going. She didn't dare to run, so she could only walk quickly, trying to avoid Su Jingchun.

Su Jingchun was not in a hurry, so he followed Gu Sixiao slowly until he entered the garden, but he didn't see anyone anymore, he chased after him with big strides, and caught Gu Sixiao in a few steps.
