Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 436

Gu Xinyu smiled and said: "My aunt has been feeling a little uncomfortable these past few days. The two sisters want to wait on the sidelines, but Xin'er is unfilial. She only wants to come out to play tricks on her sisters. The great aunt came here, not anywhere else, so she allowed me to go out alone. Recently, I was studying with my aunt, and my aunt was very strict, so I couldn't visit my great aunt often. If there are too many, you won't be able to have a good talk with the great aunt, so I came earlier, as long as the great aunt doesn't think that I come early in the morning to bother you."

Mrs. Dingguo smiled and nodded Gu Xinyu's forehead when she heard this, and said, "You girl has learned to talk poorly with me."

Gu Xinyu greeted the second and third wives with a smile, then looked at Hui'an, blessed her body, and said: "It's been more than two years since the last time I left the Imperial College, and I didn't have the chance to have a close friendship with my sister-in-law at that time. Xinyu has always regretted it, but she didn't really think that she has become a relative now, but she should be closer."

Gu Xinyu's grandfather, Mrs. Dingguo, and Empress Dowager Ruimin are brothers and sisters of the same mother, so she called Mrs. Dingguo her aunt.Gu Xinyu has been raised in her grandfather's house in the capital all year round, so she has always been very close to the Guan family, and grew up with the Guan family sisters, and Mrs. Dingguo loved her a lot.Seeing her saluting to him with a smile, Hui An hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and said with a smile, "Your sister is right. From now on, my younger sister should come to my yard more often."

Because of Gu Xinyu's arrival, everyone inevitably accompanied her to talk to Mrs. Dingguo for a while. Mrs. Dingguo saw that it was getting late, so she ordered Hui'an to take a few girls to the garden, and the second wife and Mrs. The third wife stayed in the Ford Courtyard, and soon a wife from a similar family would come with a young lady to say hello to Mrs. Dingguo, but she wanted two wives to accompany her.

Hui An brought Yun Yi and others to the garden, the garden had already been tidied up, after a while Mrs Tong and Mrs Xu arrived together, Hui An greeted them, and said with a smile: "The young ladies my aunt mentioned should all be here today, After a while, Aunt Zi will open her eyes and take a good look. But the second elder brother is here?"

Mrs. Tong smiled happily, and said: "I'm here now, I'm talking to my uncle right now. You must make arrangements for him to meet those three girls."

Hui'an approached Tong and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, the girls won't be bothered when they come. They want to play in one place. Since they want to enjoy the flowers, they will inevitably go to the lake. When the time comes, I will ask the servants to pay attention to the three. The girl arranged a painting boat and asked the servant girl to drive the boat to the east of the island in the middle of the lake. The men over there are also free to walk around. My aunt only asked the second brother to stay early at the Jingxin Pavilion on the east side of the island in the middle of the lake. That's fine. I have entrusted the fourth young master to stay with the second elder brother for a while, and when the time comes, I will say that I will hide in the pavilion for leisure, and I will meet the girls when they go to the island in the middle of the lake. It is clear and careful, and it can still speak, but it is wonderful."

Tong Shi was overjoyed when she heard the words, and said hello repeatedly, Hui An said a few more words to her, and asked Dong'er to lead her and Xu Shi to greet Madam Dingguo personally, but Hui An stayed in the garden to receive the guests.

Those who came early were mostly relatives and friends who were close to the Guanfu on weekdays. The male guests went directly to the front flower hall, while the female relatives were led by the maids to the garden. , Grass Fighting Banquet, etc. are all similar, it's all acquaintances, wives and ladies chatting and laughing together, eating wine and having fun, and there is nothing new about it.

As the host, you only need to maintain a perfect posture and greet and send off in a dignified manner, which is not difficult at all.

As the hostess, Hui'an just stood in the garden and waited to see the servant girl bringing the guests, then greeted her, and said a few polite words, the wives were going to visit Mrs. Dingguo in the Ford Court, so Hui'an called the maid to bring the guests. In the past, if you introduced the young ladies to the sisters of the Guan Mansion to greet them, those young wives would hold hands and chat for a few words, and they would find a familiar place to make fun of, so there was no need to bother to greet them.It's just that it's like this, but it's also extremely tiring. After a while, when the garden was full of laughter and laughter, Hui'an's mouth was dry, and his face was stiff when he laughed.

Seeing that Hui'an finally had a moment of leisure, Dong'er hurriedly served a bowl of cold soup, and after Hui'an drank it, he moved to the waterside pavilion and pressed an ice kerchief to his forehead, and then he felt very comfortable.

Seeing Gu Xinyu leaning on the railing and looking towards Hui An, Guan Lizhen pursed her lips unconsciously, and said, "Sister Gu, what are you looking at?"

Gu Xinyu turned her head after hearing the words, and saw Guan Lizhen staring at herself with a pair of crystal eyes, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Look at your sister-in-law, she is really pretty, no wonder the third brother cherishes her so much."

Seeing Gu Xinyu's slightly bitter smile, Guan Lizhen quickly took her hand and said, "I look at Sister Gu so pretty!"

Gu Xinyu shook her head and laughed when she heard the words, then looked at Hui An who was laughing with Dong'er and Qiu'er in the waterside pavilion, and said: "You girl is used to making me happy, how do you get along with your third sister-in-law? "

Guan Lizhen heard her question, thinking about what Hui An said to her in the corridor that day, and thinking about the scene of laughing with Hui An in the garden yesterday, she felt that her affection for Hui An was growing day by day, but now thinking of it, she felt extremely wrong. Staying with Gu Xinyu, she couldn't help showing a little embarrassment, and hesitated for a while before saying: "Anyway, I like Sister Gu better."

After hearing this, Gu Xinyu smiled again, then took Guan Lizhen's hand, and said, "She is a genuine and kind woman. I wanted to have a deep friendship with her when I heard her piano sound earlier. Now that she has become you My sister-in-law, you should get along well with her, and don’t read it again because of me. I was only concerned about my own mood earlier, but I forgot to tell you one or two things, the most important thing is not to be forced, your third brother has no intention As for me, although I feel sad, I also have a bit of arrogance. Although my heart is sad, I don’t want to hate her for no reason. Seeing her and your third brother are in love with each other, and seeing him getting more and more happy, I am also happy in my heart , I hope they can grow old forever. My family has already planned a marriage for me, and I am about to get married, if you continue to have a relationship with your third sister-in-law because of me, it will be my fault."

Guan Lizhen didn't expect Gu Xinyu to say such a thing. She was startled when she heard the words, and then said anxiously: "Sister Gu is going to marry someone? I don't know who she is going to marry."

Gu Xinyu smiled slightly, and said: "It hasn't been decided yet, but I can't tell you now. We have always been close, and I just saw you again as if I thought I deliberately didn't want to get close to your third sister-in-law. Say a few more words. I know that you are kind to me and love me, but you are looking down on your elder sister Gu. Your third elder brother is very kind. He has no heart for me, and now he has married a wife , I have long since made up my mind to let go, if you continue to discord because of me and your third sister-in-law, I will not be happy either."
