Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 167 Good News
In late autumn, the weather has turned cold, Gu Sixiao is busy with the business in the shop, and rarely goes back to Xue's house.

The old lady Xue was quite critical, and she reminded Gu Sixiao not to be busy with the shop all the time and neglect other things.

"It's rare that the senior officials of the Su family didn't ruin their marriage because of those rumors, and they came here specially to make a big engagement next spring, and get married after the summer. Huaer, you should stay at home and prepare your dowry." .”

Gu Sixiao just laughed when she heard this, but Xue Wanhua answered with a smile, "I will help her prepare the dowry for my little sister."

Xue Wanying, who was listening, sneered, but said nothing.

Xue Wanying also behaved in the previous scene.

Since grandma doesn't dote on her like she used to, and she still seems to value Gu Hua'er very much, then she should avoid conflicts with Gu Hua'er in public.

What the official said was right, Gu Hua'er is a damn good girl, she always pretends to be a good person in front of others, and she has to learn this skill of pretending to be a good person.

Although Xue Wanhua interjected, the old lady Xue still frowned, "I can help you to buy those things that need to be bought. But what about the embroidery that needs to be embroidered by myself? I think back then, two years before I married into the Xue family I started to embroider. I embroidered the pillowcases, quilts, even the wedding dress myself.”

As if remembering those things back then, Mrs. Xue smiled slightly, and her eyes became much gentler.

"Hua'er, listen to grandma and embroider a wedding gown for yourself! A woman has to do a lot of embroidery in her life, but only when she embroiders a wedding gown for herself is the feeling of unspeakable joy. "

At Mrs. Xue's age, if she said such a thing, outsiders would feel a little frivolous if they heard it, but Gu Sixiao could understand the old lady's intentions.

"Grandma is right. I will embroider the wedding dress myself. It's just a matter of the shop. I hope grandma will allow me to continue."

"It's just such a small shop..." Mrs. Xue frowned, and wanted to say what's the point of making a fuss.

Xue Wanhua had already answered: "Grandma, don't look at Hua'er's small shop, she earns a lot of money."

Surprised, the old lady Xue turned her head to look at Xue Wanhua, with some interest, "Let's hear it, let me see which of your sisters can make money."

Xue Wanhua smiled, and said sternly: "If we only talk about people, my granddaughter really doesn't earn as much as paintings. Her shop, although inconspicuous, sells items that are said to be 'unique'. Huaer said what is it—— Ah, only the finest and best ones are sold, and the prices are also the most expensive. Even her fans are not less than five taels of silver."

"Five taels of silver?" Mrs. Xue was taken aback.

Usually, a folding fan can only be sold on the street for about [-] renminbi, even the fans of the Su family cost only a few hundred renminbi, but Gu Sixiao sold a fan for ten times the price of others, how could anyone buy it? ?
"Although they are fans, my granddaughter sells more than just fans..."

Gu Sixiao smiled and didn't explain too much.

Some people in this world are so strange, even if it is the same thing, he still wants to buy the most expensive one, so as to show his status.

What's more, her fan is different from other places.The fans she made with her own hands are so confident that they can be used even as tribute fans.

Although it is not the season now, she is not in a hurry to sell fans. The few fans she sold before were ladies' round fans, and there are also folding fans. The people who bought folding fans were students from the nearby college.

The people who come in and out of "Yazhi" are all young ladies. Those students passing by, even if they don't mean to be frivolous, they can't help but take a look at the store. That's how those few folding fans are sold.

Those who are willing to spend five liang of silver to buy folding fans are naturally rich young masters. There are many rich and leisure young masters like this in Jinan Prefecture.When the weather gets hot next year, Gu Sixiao won't worry about her folding fans not being sold.

At the moment, she was speaking simply, but Mrs. Xue couldn't help looking her up and down.

"No wonder Wanhua is so good with you, she is indeed a capable child, and she and Wanhua are really like biological sisters..."

There was a pause in the voice, the old lady consciously said something wrong, but Gu Sixiao didn't seem to notice anything, she still smiled and said: "I'm just my sister and sister!"

"That's right, grandma, all the daughters in our family are capable!" Xue Wanhua said, pulling Xue Wanying beside her.

Xue Wanying was so angry that she shook her hand, but she didn't. She could only turn her face away and touch her belly with the other hand.

It's nice to say, when I can't hear it, you said that Gu Hua'er is the only one who is capable! ?
No matter how powerful she was, could the child she gave birth be named Xue? !

Thinking of this in her heart, she shook her hand even harder.

Xue Wanhua didn't take precautions, was thrown staggeringly, almost fell down.

Fortunately, Gu Sixiao was beside her, and she reached out to help her, so she didn't fall down.

The old lady Xue was also taken aback, and she was also a little angry when she looked at Xue Wanying.

"I, I didn't do it on purpose..." Xue Wanying hastily evaded.

"It's because I didn't stand up properly," Xue Wanhua said with a smile, indicating that she was fine.

But at this time, Mu Feng and Li Chongyang came in from the outside.

Before he understood what was going on, Mu Feng's face turned pale, "Nearly fell? Ma'am, are you okay? I'll ask the doctor to come and have a look."

Hearing Mu Feng's words, Xue Wanying immediately became furious, "Didn't it just almost fall? I didn't do it on purpose, and I didn't fall. Is it necessary to mobilize people like this?"

Staring at Mu Feng, she said bitterly: "You just want to make things bigger, so that people will think that I am bad, and make grandma hate me even more——right!? Mu Feng!"

"I, I didn't mean that..." Mu Feng was a little at a loss, "Wanying, I didn't know it was you—it's just my lady, she might have—I, I..."

"What did you say? Mufeng, you said Wanhua is pregnant?!"

It was Mrs. Xue who was the most sensitive, and she knew the key right away.

"Grandma, I haven't asked a doctor for a pulse check yet, so it may not be." No matter how generous Xue Wanhua is, she feels a little embarrassed at the moment, "It may be because I've been busy recently, so..."

Although she didn't say it clearly, Mrs. Xue has already understood.

Regardless of whether she is pregnant or not, it is certain that the menstrual event will be delayed or not.

"Go get the doctor! Quick—"

Standing up, she held Xue Wanhua's hand personally. The old lady Xue looked at her belly with gentle eyes, "Wanhua, don't be shy, even if you are not, it doesn't matter. Anyway, this is a good thing..."

For the thin Xue family, Xue Wanhua's pregnancy is indeed a great blessing.

But for Xue Wanying, it was not so good.

Staring closely at Xue Wanhua, she stroked her swollen belly, feeling a little gloomy.

If her sister is also pregnant, she will no longer be able to show off her might with the child in her womb as before.

Thinking of this in her heart, she had some hope that she would be happy for nothing.

But the more he was afraid of something, the more he would come. As soon as the doctor finished his pulse diagnosis, he immediately expressed his congratulations.

Needless to say, everyone in the room already knew that the good news was true.

Xue Wanhua and his wife were certainly happy, but Mrs. Xue couldn't keep her mouth shut. Even Xue Wen, who knew the news, was much happier and drank two glasses at dinner.

"Daddy, your lungs are not good, didn't you agree that you can't drink too much?" Xue Wanhua persuaded Xue Wen, and Xue Wanhua started to grab the cup.

Xue Wen blocked it with his hands, "Let Daddy drink two more glasses! Daddy is happy today!"

Holding the cup, Xue Wen's eyes glistened with tears, "Daddy has been suffering all these years! Finally, God has eyes to continue the blood of my Xue family. You and Wanying are both worthy."

Wiping the corners of his eyes, Xue Wen said in a deep voice: "I will go to the ancestral hall tomorrow and tell the ancestors that the Xue family has a descendant."

After giving him a blank look, the old lady Xue reprimanded lightly: "What a fool! You always wait for the child to be born before worshiping the ancestors, how can you go to worship the ancestors as soon as you know the good news?"

"Daddy is too happy..." Xue Wanying said in a low voice, but there was some sourness in her words.

When she was first pregnant, Dad was not so happy.In the end, they still prefer the second sister.

Such thoughts can never be suppressed for a lifetime.Xue Wanying never thought about what it would be like when she was pregnant.

He got pregnant before getting married. Under such circumstances, how could Xue Wen think of going to worship his ancestors? !
She kept thinking like that in her heart, even if she went back to her courtyard, Xue Wanying still felt aggrieved.

There was no outsider, she nestled on the bed and couldn't help crying bitterly.

Li Chongyang sat on the edge of the bed, gently persuading him.

"Sister is pregnant, isn't it a good thing? The Xue family has another offspring, shouldn't you be happy too!"

"I am naturally happy when the Xue family has a baby, but why is my sister so anxious to have a baby? Can't she wait a year or two, and she will have a baby after I give birth?! She insists on having a baby with me Grab, since she was a child, she likes to rob me!"

"That's true," Li Chongyang said with a smile, half-jokingly: "Now my sister is robbing you of the family property, and later her son will rob our son of the family property. We will always be unable to rob them! "

This sentence touched Xue Wanying's mind, raising her eyebrows, she complained: "Who says I can't grab her! So what if she is pregnant? It may not be a boy!"

Rubbing her stomach, she snorted, "In my generation, she is an older sister, so I can't argue with her, but my son is the eldest grandson of the Xue family. I don't believe it, my son can't compare to her son!"

"You are just too strong!" Li Chongyang smiled and put his arms around Xue Wanying, sounding like coaxing her, but when Xue Wanying couldn't see, he showed a gloomy smile.

He can't fight alone, but it's different with Xue Wanying.

If the Xue family's daughter can't be of one heart and one mind, what's so terrible? !
What's more, now is really his chance.

Xue Wanhua was pregnant, and the old lady Xue was very nervous. Although Xue Wanhua said repeatedly that she was fine, she still refused to let Xue Wanhua go to the shop.

There is no way, Xue Wanhua can only listen to the old lady's wishes, raise the baby at home first, and then go to the shop to help when the fetal sign is stable.

Because of this, Li Chongyang finally got the opportunity he had been waiting for, and returned to Xue's Jinlou to help again.

Although this time, Xue Wen also went back to the shop, but in the end, there are still many things that Li Chongyang and Mu Feng were delegated to do together.

Mu Feng is an honest person, and he is not proficient in other things except for accounting.

As a result, Li Chongyang quickly recruited a group of old people to back up Xue's shop, which was even ten times more prosperous than when he was in charge.
