The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 70 Visiting the Gu Mansion
The next morning, the two children went to school normally, but in the afternoon, the family of four went to Gu's residence.

Fang Xiuyi did not expect that she would visit Gu's residence so soon.When they reached the gate of Gu's mansion, Gu Zhun and his wife were already waiting there.

"Master Gu, Mrs. Gu, I'm really sorry!" Fang Xiu got off the carriage and greeted the host and his wife apologetically.

"Where, my sister is really a rare guest!" Mrs. Gu greeted Fang Xiuyi warmly.

As soon as Fang Xiu knew that the relationship between He Huai'an and Gu Zhun was unusual, she really wanted to have a good relationship with Mrs. Gu, but under the current situation, people can't communicate or talk casually between people. A layer apart, especially Fang Xiuyi's background, is even more of a threshold for other wives.

Because Feiyu and Siyuan are the same husband, He Huai'an took the two children to the husband's place, while Fang Xiuyi followed Mrs. Gu to Mrs. Gu's place to say hello.

This is Fang Xiuyi's second time on this road, and she has to admit again that Gu's mansion is much more groomed than He's mansion.Although the weather is a bit hot now, the shade of the trees here blocks most of the sunlight. Walking under the shade is really a kind of enjoyment.

"Sorry, Sister Hong, you are so busy, we still bother you."

"Where is it, I was looking forward to having someone to talk to with me." Mrs. Gu spoke quite briskly.

"As long as Sister Hong doesn't dislike me. I don't have many friends on weekdays. Maybe I will come to the house to bother you often in the future."

"Sister Fang seems to like to live in seclusion, and she doesn't usually see you going out for a walk. Actually, there are many interesting places in the capital. If you don't mind, let's make an appointment to have a company and make it more lively."

"Okay. I haven't been around town yet. There must be a lot of novelty."

"Yes. I heard that there is a shop with some foreign gadgets, which are very rare. Why don't we go and see it another day."

"Okay." Fang Xiuyi responded in a good manner, "I heard from my adults that sister Hong was born in general and can ride and shoot well. I really want to see it. And, if possible, I also want to learn how to ride a horse."

Mrs. Gu was silent for a while, and then said lightly: "I made my sister laugh, it was just a girl who was ignorant. Why don't you learn more about housekeepers back then."

Fang Xiu could tell that Mrs. Gu felt this sincerely.In this era, there is very little space left for women, especially these aristocratic women, who don't have to run around for survival, and dedicate everything to their husbands and children.

"Sister Gu, you don't need to deny the past. Although we have lived a hard life, our life is so many decades. If you miss it, you will never have it again." Fang Xiuyi is really not suitable to be a "life mentor". Well worth the effort."

"Does Sister Fang really think so?"

"That's right. I imagined how exciting it would be to ride a horse galloping freely!" Before, Fang Xiuyi once rode a horse on the grassland. Those horses were all trained. At that time, she rode carefully, but even In that way, she also felt very happy.

"Sister He agrees with such an idea?"

"I haven't told my lord yet, but he should not object." Fang Xiuyi understood Mrs. Gu's concerns, how could a noble lady have so much freedom.It's just that she is a person who lives a new life and really doesn't want to waste it.

"It seems that Mr. He is really considerate."

"Hehe, I made Sister Hong laugh." Fang Xiuyi knew that He Huai'an had given her the greatest freedom. So far, as long as it was something she wanted to do, He Huai'an had never objected.

While talking, the two came to Mrs. Gu's yard.As soon as Fang Xiuyi entered the courtyard, he heard a burst of laughter coming from the main room, as well as children's voices, which sounded very warm.

Mrs. Gu was sitting on the kang, with a baby lying beside her, who was the eldest grandson of Master Gu, babbling.Sitting next to Mr. Gu's eldest daughter-in-law, and Mr. Gu's younger sisters-in-law, the whole room was bustling with people.

"It's Mrs. He. Come and sit down!" The old lady greeted Fang Xiuyi with a smile.

"Madam, I'm here to disturb you again."

"It's too late for me to be happy that you can see me as an old woman!"

The others greeted Fang Xiuyi, and several people went back and forth before Fang Xiuyi finally sat down.

"This child has changed a lot. I haven't seen him for a month. She looks like another person. Look at this skin, it's so white and tender." Fang Xiuyi teased the child, "It's so cute!"

"That's right! If I don't see you for a while, my heart will be empty." The old lady had a happy expression on her face.

"That's right, mother has a great-grandson now, and we don't even want to see her anymore." It was Gu Zhun's sister-in-law that Fang Xiuyi saw last time who spoke.

"Are you still jealous with a child who is a few months old?" Mrs. Gu joked.

Everyone in the room smiled happily.

Fang Xiuyi drank tea, although all this did not belong to her, but she could enjoy it, seeing others happy, isn't it a good mood?

"I made Mrs. He laugh, the family is used to jokes!" Although the old lady said that she disliked her daughter-in-law, the satisfaction on her face was beyond words.The four generations of Gu's family are happy and harmonious, isn't it the representative of consummation? !

"Where, how many people are envious of the four generations living under the same roof!"

"Yes, what Mrs. He said is that when people get old, they like to have children and grandchildren."

While talking, Xiao BuDian cried.

"Come and see, are you hungry?"

Taking advantage of this time, Mrs. Gu said: "Sister Fang, please forgive me for being so busy. Why don't we go to my place and talk."

"Yeah, take Mrs. He there quickly, it's a mess here, it's really not suitable for receiving guests."

"Then I'll be rude. I'll come to visit the old lady some other day." Fang Xiuyi also felt that it was time to tell Mrs. Gu about her plan.

Madam Gu brought Fang Xiuyi to her place, and Fang Xiuyi clearly felt the sense of ease and ease in Madam Gu.It seems that no matter when it is, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very tense.If Mrs. Gu wants to be a perfect lady, she may have to pay more and endure more, not just the horse riding just mentioned?
"The weather is so hot, it really makes people feel irritable." Mrs. Gu took a sip of tea and said somewhat explanatoryly.

"Yeah, I don't think there's enough ice." Fang Xiuyi was glad that there were few people in He's mansion, otherwise, just the people waiting to eat and drink in this mansion would be enough to make people collapse.

"My sister is here today, what's the matter?"

"It's really something," Fang Xiu said with a smile, "I discussed it with my adults and decided that Siyuan will not come to the school. Besides, Feiyu only attends half a day and stays at home in the afternoon."

Mrs. Gu didn't expect this to happen, she paused for a moment, and asked: "Sister and Master He made such a decision, is there something wrong in the house?"

"Sister Hong misunderstood, the care of the family is more considerate than mine. But we think it might be better to provide targeted education and guidance to Siyuan." Fang Xiuyi said to Fei Yu again, "Where is Fei Yu, We feel that it is enough to study with Mr. Wang in the morning.”

Fang Xiuyi deliberately lowered her stance. Her and He Huai'an's teaching ideas and methods may not be tolerated by the current people. Speaking of this, she is even more grateful to He Huai'an for giving her unprecedented freedom.

"Master He's decision is quite new. Do Siyuan and Fei Yu also agree?" Mrs. Gu thought it was He Huai'an's decision.

"It should be said that it was our joint decision, so the two children readily accepted it." Although Fang Xiuyi knew that human beings are social animals, these two children of his are quite special. If they were educated in a normal way, their talents would be wiped out. , the gain outweighs the loss, so it is better to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, not to mention, He Fu's current conditions can completely do the same.

"If that's the case, it's really a pity. The teachers in the school are often proud of Siyuan, and my Qizhi is inseparable from the Jun Jun. She will definitely be very disappointed when she finds out."

"I'm very glad that Feiyu has a friend like Qizhi. Feiyu only goes to school for half a day, not cutting off contact with friends. I like Qizhi very much, so I just let them have more contact. Next time Qizhi will come to my house , I will cook food for them." Although Fang Xiuyi was unmarried in her previous life, she also knew that when the children's friends came to the house, the mother would have to work back and forth to cook all kinds of food for the children. return.

"Qizhi must be very happy to hear my sister say that."

"Fei Yu will come to bother you more in the future, and I hope my sister doesn't mind." Fang Xiuyi talked about the female red again. Among Fei Yu's masters here, only the female red master is female, "Fei Yu I also learned from female celebrities here, and now I have to leave, I want to talk to her."

Mrs. Gu smiled in surprise, "No need, I'll just tell her later."

Fang Xiuyi thinks that Fei Yu is her own child, and all those who teach her are teachers, shouldn't parents just respect teachers?For this reason, she brought a special gift today.However, she did not continue to force Mrs. Gu, after all, the two have very different views.

"Then I'd like to trouble Sister Hong to find someone to bring my maid over there to meet her."

Mrs. Gu probably didn't expect Fang Xiuyi to be so persistent, but she still called the maid beside her to take Shan Xing to Master Nuhong's place.

"Thank you sister!"

The two chatted casually for a few more words, and Fei Yu came over.

"Madam Gu!" Fei Yu bowed to Madam Gu, and then stood beside Fang Xiuyi.

"Fei Yu, have you met your husband with your lord?" Fang Xiuyi felt proud when she saw her daughter standing beside her gracefully.Fei Yu's later attire covered some of her color, so at first glance she was just slightly prettier than ordinary people.

"Yes, mother."

"Have you invited your friends to visit the mansion in the future?"

"some."

"That's good, be good!" Fang Xiuyi naturally touched Fei Yu's face and hair, just like usual, Fei Yu subconsciously smiled innocently.

Mrs. Gu was dumbfounded, she didn't know how Fang Xiuyi got along with the children like this, and she had never seen Fei Yu look so childish, she usually acted like an adult.Now it seems that, to put it bluntly, both of them are smiling like fools.

"Sister Hong, I have nothing to offer. This is a little scented tea I tried to make some time ago. It is made of apricot blossom and Maofeng. The scenting time is a bit short, and it tastes like apricot blossom. It's relatively light, and I hope my sister doesn't dislike it." Fang Xiuyi is not used to drinking tea, nor does she know how to taste tea, so she started thinking about making some scented tea in the mansion.She didn't know how to do it either, so she looked it up from the book, added her own imagination, and tried to do a little bit first.

"Scented tea? It sounds fresh. I don't know if my sister has this ability." Mrs. Gu took the box from the maidservant's hand, "Sorry, I'm too curious. If my sister doesn't mind, I want to open it now."

"Of course I don't mind. I also hope that my sister can give me some advice after drinking it. I'm tossing around on my own."

Mrs. Gu opened the box, and a burst of sweet apricot blossom scent wafted out along with the aroma of tea, "Sister, this is really a rare thing."

"I made my sister laugh. I didn't understand it at all. I just had nothing to do on weekdays and found a job for myself. At the time, I didn't think too much about it, so I used apricot blossom. But in fact, there are other scented teas. I made other things, and gave them to Sister Hong to taste. However, sister, don’t dislike my craftsmanship, this is also the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair. Everything is in the process of groping.”

"What did my sister say, I really like this scented tea. Hearing what you said, I really look forward to other varieties."

"It's actually very simple. If there is a chance, let's do it together, just as a hobby."

"What? I can do it too?" Mrs. Gu thought it was a unique secret book that would not be passed on to the outside world.

"Of course I can. See what kind of tea my sister likes to drink and what kind of flowers she likes. Then use fried green tea and flowers, each layer, and after a while, you can change another layer of flowers. The longer the scenting time, the more fragrant the flowers will be. The more intense it is." Fang Xiuyi said clearly, but in fact it was her first time making.

"It sounds very interesting. My sister is really an interesting person. Let's do it together some other day." Mrs. Gu seemed very interested, but she was also in a dilemma. "It's just that my big family has a lot of things to do, so my sister may Let's move in."

"No problem. It's fun when everyone does it together."
