Chapter 53 The Sister Appreciating the Lotus
Jingyi once again looked at the old lady with admiration, can she still speak up for such a request?Let your daughter-in-law give money to her natal brother?Why?Leaving aside that uncle and grandpa didn't do their best for the Su family, isn't the amount of money he gets from the old lady every year still small?This old lady's face is really thick, she can say such words with confidence, and she still looks like she is planning for her mother!
Mrs. Gu took a sip of tea and said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law knows that you love me, but no matter how much you love me, we can't break the custom! Our custom here is to prepare even-number brocade for the uncle's family every Mid-Autumn Festival." Forgings, pastries, drinks, if you don’t give them away, wouldn’t it be a joke? We thought that our Houfu was in ruins, but we couldn’t even afford to give away a few things.”

The old lady's complexion changed. This daughter-in-law has been in the door for more than ten years, and she has never defied her like this.In the past, no matter what request she had, she would do it according to her order.What's the matter today?
How did she know that since the Gu family in the other hospital knew that she had been changed her medicine and had her diet controlled, she was no longer willing to flatter her.Especially when she later learned that Jing Yi fell from the rockery and hurt her head, she was even more annoyed at the old lady and Bai Shi in her heart!Seeing that he was filial to her with all his heart, Mrs. Gu had to be poisoned by her like this, and he had already lost all thoughts of her in the past!
Gu Shi saw that the old lady's face was not good-looking, and she didn't want to wait any longer, so she got up and said, "Since mother has no other orders, the daughter-in-law will leave first."

Seeing that Mrs. Gu led Jingyi away, the old lady was very angry and anxious!it is good!Hello Gu Shi!How dare you ignore me so much!Okay, just wait, don't think that without Bai Shi and Liu Shi, I can't cure you!snort!If the tiger doesn't show its power, you will treat me as a sick cat!Mrs. Gu, I will let you know soon, who has the final say in Hou Mansion?
Mrs. Gu took Jingyi out of Heshou Hall and went straight to the warehouse.

Jingyi knew that her mother must be sullen, so she interrupted and said: "Mother, you said that Concubine Shu loves jade, so why don't we send the Jade Buddha there. This will not show off, but also win Concubine Shu's favor."

Mrs. Gu nodded, and asked someone to find several Jade Buddhas of different sizes, and put them in the middle.

"Although this statue has a good face, it's a pity that the quality of this jade is too poor. This statue is too stingy." Mrs. Gu said to herself, and looked around several jade Buddhas, all of which were not satisfied.

"Mother, what do you think of this one?" Jingyi pointed to a Jade Buddha about one foot high, and asked Gu to look at it.

Mrs. Gu took a look, "Well, the fineness of the jade is not bad. The carving skills are not bad, especially this face, which looks blessed and compassionate, not bad. Let's take this one. Mother Liu, send someone to Make a high-quality red sandalwood box, then wrap it with high-quality red silk and put it away. Let Minger send it to the sixth prince later, and the sixth prince will hand it over."

Jingyi smiled and said: "Mom, since you've come to the warehouse, you can even pick out the gifts from uncle. Also, Yiyi heard that the uncle's cousins ​​are all dragons and phoenixes! Let's We must pick some rare things and send them over, so that it will appear that the mother has a heart."

Gu Shi lightly poked Jingyi's forehead with her index finger, and scolded with a smile: "You ghost girl! But you want to see your cousin Yu?"

Jingyi smiled, shook Gu's arm with her hand and said: "Mother, I really think about my mother. Besides, you only have a niece, sister Yu, don't you miss her?"

Mrs. Gu gave her an annoyed look with a smile, "Okay. Tell me, what do you want to give you to Cousin Yu?"

Jingyi sifted through a pile of gold and silver jewelry for a while, and finally found a peanut-shaped jadeite pendant! "Mother, look quickly! Just give this. Cousin Yu is already engaged, so let's give her this lucky bean." After speaking, he showed the jade pendant to Mrs. Gu.

Gu Shi took a closer look, "That's right, you still have your heart."

Jingyi accompanied Gu Shi to pick out some gifts, and it was almost noon before returning to Gu Shi's yard to have lunch together.

The next day, Mrs. Gu asked Su Qing and Su Ming to take leave, and accompanied her and Jing Yi to the General's Mansion in Weiyuan to deliver gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

When he arrived at the gate, Gu Wen had already brought his wife Liu Shi and several children to wait at the main entrance. Seeing Gu Shi coming, he hurriedly walked down the steps and hugged Yiyi up. "Yiyi has gained weight recently and has grown a lot taller. When you come back next time, I'm afraid uncle won't be able to hold you anymore!" After speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

"Brother, put her down quickly. How old is she, and you are still holding her, so be careful to let people see and gossip." Gu complained.

Unexpectedly, Gu Wen raised his eyebrows and stared, "Who dares to gossip? Why can't I hug my niece?"

Mrs. Liu hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, let's go in quickly. The mansion has already prepared refreshments, and we are waiting for you to come."

Everyone entered the courtyard together and went straight to a gazebo 'Bing Xin Pavilion' in the main courtyard.

After entering the pavilion, Gu Wencai put Jingyi down, took another pastry and coaxed, "Yiyi, this is the walnut cake made by your aunt, try it quickly."

Jingyi took it and put it in her mouth, "It's so sweet! It's crispy and delicious!"

Mrs. Liu said happily, "Eat more if it smells good. I made a lot, and you will take some with you when you leave in the afternoon."

Jingyi hurriedly nodded her head with a happy face.Gu Yu, who was sitting next to her, hurriedly brought over a cup of tea, "Eat slowly, drink your tea quickly, don't choke!"

Jingyi took a sip of tea, then turned to look at Gu Yu: "Cousin, you haven't seen me for a long time."

Gu Yu smiled and lowered her head, "Yiyi, last time I heard that you were injured by that Jingmei, I was very anxious. But my mother said that I was just engaged and it was not appropriate to go out of the house, so I didn't go. Did you keep the things I asked my mother to bring you?"

"Yes. The ink that my cousin gave me is very useful, and it has a faint fragrance of ink. I am reluctant to use it."

"If there's anything you can't bear, turn around and I'll let someone buy it again."

The two were chatting and laughing here, ignoring the others.

Mrs. Gu looked at it with a smile on her face: "Look at these two sisters, they are closer than real sisters! Once we meet, we can't finish talking."

"That's right!" Mrs. Liu also laughed and said, "A while ago I heard that Jingyi was injured, so I insisted on going to see it, but you also know, my sister, that she just got engaged, so it's not right. I'll go to your house When we were together, she urged me to come back and tell her about Jingyi's affairs in detail. I'm afraid that my sister will be wronged."

Gu sighed lightly and said: "Isn't that right? I was recovering from illness a while ago, and I really wronged this child. Tomorrow will be better, how old is it, but Yiyi, alas!"

Su Qing interjected: "Mother, isn't it very happy to be together with my uncle's family? After those things are over, I don't want to. The days to come will be long."
