Chapter 219 Coming to the door

Auntie Guan paused for a moment, then continued: "Sixth Master cares about the people in the Chengguo Palace. Seeing that the young lady is so caring, he will definitely be grateful to the young lady. This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone."

Wang Peiyun was so excited that she threw herself into Aunt Guan’s arms, “Mommy, you are my lucky star, and I am the best.”

Mammy Guan hugged Wang Peiyun, smiled and let her act coquettishly in her arms.

Wang Peiyun acted coquettishly for a while, then stood up and said, "Mommy, let someone come in and change my clothes. Let's go to the Duke Chengguo's Mansion."

Grandma Guan smiled and asked, "Are you going over now? I haven't submitted the post yet."

Wang Peiyun shook his head, "No need to hand in the post, let's go directly to the door. Just go to a nearby garment shop to make clothes, and stop by to visit Mrs. Qin."

Mammy Guan smiled and nodded, "This is a good idea. I will let them come in and help the young lady change."

 At the Duke Chengguo's Mansion, after breakfast, Mrs. Qian asked: "Mother, I have someone prepare the gifts. Shall we leave now?"

 Hua and Ye were family friends, and Mrs. Ping and Mrs. Ye were close friends. After Gu Huayu's life experience was revealed, it was time for the Ye family to come to congratulate her.

After discussing with the family last night, it was decided that Mrs. Qin would take the female family members to Wutong Lane.

Mrs. Qin took a sip of tea and said, "Okay, let me pack up and then we'll set off."

Mrs. Qian leaned forward and said, "There's no rush. There's plenty of time. Mother will take care of herself."

Mrs. Qin put down the tea cup in her hand and tried to stand up with her hands on the table. Seeing this, Madam Feng and Mrs. Qian hurried forward to help her. Mrs. Qin smiled and waved her hand, "No, I can do it on my own in the morning." If you drink too much porridge, I’ll go to Gong’s room first.”

Mrs. Qian reminded: "Mom, please slow down, we have plenty of time, there is no rush."

Mrs. Qin responded: "I understand, you should go and get ready." Aunt Feng helped Mrs. Qin go to the court room.

Ye Mingjin said to Mrs. Qian: "Aniang, I'm going to change clothes. Meet us at the second door later."

Mrs. Qian waved her hand, "Go and hold on tight, don't let your elders wait for you."

“I know.” Ye Mingjin responded as he walked.

 Mrs. Qian looked at Mrs. Ye and asked, "Sister Shan, aren't you going to change?"

Mrs. Ye shook her head and asked uneasily: "Sister-in-law, can I go there like this? Will it cause trouble to Ziqin?"

 A few days ago, Mrs. Ye heard from Zi Su that the British government sent people to keep an eye on Wutong Lane. If the Duke knew that she had gone to Wutong Lane, would it embarrass Ziqin?

 Mrs. Qian understood Mrs. Ye’s concerns and comforted her, “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.

You and Yingzi get along well. When Hanru was alive, you often played together.

I heard from the master that when Mr. Hua was in Beijing, he often came to our house to drink tea and talk with his father.

 To sum up, Hua and Ye are family friends.

Now that the daughter of the Hua family is back and has been made a princess by the emperor, it is only natural for us to go out and celebrate.

Since it is human nature, one should be generous. What do you think? "

Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "That's right, I'm overthinking. I'm a person who pretends to be insecure and has something on my mind. I'm always hesitant and timid."

Mrs. Qian smiled and said, "If you are concerned, you will be confused."

Mrs. Ye smiled, stood up and said, "Then I'll go change too."

Mrs. Qian smiled and joked: "Go, go. When you see your daughter-in-law, you have to dress up beautifully."

“That’s right, you can’t embarrass your son, you must dress up beautifully.” Mrs. Ye replied with a smile.

Mrs. Qin finished packing and came out. Seeing Mrs. Qian alone outside, she asked, "Where are Sister Shan and Girl Jin?"

Mrs. Qian came over to help Mrs. Qin and said, "We have all gone to change clothes. We agreed to meet at the second gate. Let's go there."

 The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the second door talking and laughing. Ye Mingjin was already waiting. When he saw them coming, he raised his voice and said, "Mom, let me hurry up!"

Mrs. Qian smiled and praised, "Well, not bad. The clothes you wear today are also good. The light blue matches your skin color very well."

Ye Mingjin smiled and replied: "Of course, Xiaoyu said that I have a summer skin color, which is suitable for soft and elegant colors."

"Oh? The princess still knows this?" Mrs. Qian said in surprise.

Ye Mingjin nodded proudly, "Of course, Xiaoyu knows a lot. On the opening day, she even tested some of us with colored cloth..."

Before Ye Mingjin finished speaking, a servant came over and said: "Old madam, madam, the third lady from the Prime Minister Wang's Mansion has arrived at the door. She said she was going to a nearby garment shop to make clothes. She stopped by to pay a visit to the old madam."

Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Qian looked at each other.

When Ye Mingjin heard that Wang Peiyun was coming, his face instantly darkened and he asked, "What is she here for? Grandma, Aniang, what should I do next? Are you still going to Wutong Lane?"

Mrs. Qian sighed and said, "These people are blocking the door, how can we get out?

Go to Shanglinyuan and tell your aunt so that she knows what's going on. By the way, go to Zizhuyuan and tell Ziqin. "

Ye Mingjin nodded and said: "I understand. Mom, I don't like talking to talented women. I went to look for Yamei."

"Yamei must have gone to Wutong Lane today. Where can you go to find her?" Mrs. Qian reminded her loudly.

Ye Mingjin said "Oh", "I forgot about this. Then I will go to my uncle's house to play with my cousin."

 “You kid…”

Mrs. Qin said: "Let her go."

Mrs. Qian sighed and said, "Oh, I can only let her go. I don't know what's wrong with this child? I haven't liked playing with the girls from the Wang family, Cui family, and Lu family since I was a child. I hide from them when I see them."

Mrs. Qin said: "Everyone has their own destiny. Jin Yatou and the three girls of the Shi family get along well. I'm afraid they won't be able to go out today, so let them go back."

Mrs. Qian nodded, turned around and asked the coachman to drive the car back, asked Aunt Feng to help Mrs. Qin back, and went to meet Miss Wang San.

 When Mrs. Ye learned that Miss Wang San had come to her door, she didn't know what to say.

Ye Mingjin said: "Auntie, I told you to make sure you know what's going on. I've brought the message to you. I have to go and report the news to Brother Ziqin, so I'll leave first."

Mrs. Ye waved her hand and said, "Go ahead. I know what's going on."

After Ye Mingjin left, Mrs. Ye walked around in the room and said to Grandma Yao and Zi Su: "She really came to visit grandma? Only a ghost can believe it, but I don't believe it anyway."

Grandma Yao said: "If you don't come early, you won't come later. After Miss Gu was named the princess, Miss Wang San came over in a hurry. Does Miss Wang San know anything?"

Mrs. Ye also thought of it and said, "She must know something. Jin Yatou said that on the day Miss Gu's shop opened, Miss Wang San came to find trouble."

Aunt Yao said: "So, Miss Wang San should have come well prepared today. Madam, what should we do next? Go and meet Miss Wang San?"

Mrs. Ye said with a headache: "No, I'll go see her. What should I say when I meet? I'll give her a warm reception. I'm afraid she will misunderstand her, and I'm afraid Ziqin will misunderstand her.

 If you don’t give a warm reception, it’s not the way to be a guest. Now I am in a dilemma. "

 Mother Yao asked: "What should we do? Let's get out?"

 Mrs. Ye looked at Aunt Yao and asked, "Where to avoid?"

Zisu said: "Madam, I haven't made clothes for a long time. Let's make some clothes."

Mrs. Ye thought for a while and said helplessly: "Okay, let's make clothes. Let someone tell my sister-in-law quietly that we will eat lunch outside."

Zisu turned around and gave instructions.

Mrs. Ye packed up and took Zi Su with her. Aunt Yao walked to the side door, where she met Lu Ziqin and Ru An who were about to go out.

When Lu Ziqin saw Mrs. Ye coming, he bowed and said, "Where are you going, mother?"

Mrs. Ye said angrily: "Thanks to you, I have a family and can't stay home, so I can make some clothes."

Lu Ziqin asked with a smile: "Which shop does mother go to to make clothes? How about my son accompany you?"

Mrs. Ye was in a good mood and said with a smile: "This is the first time in your life that you have offered to go shopping with me."

Lu Ziqin leaned forward and said, "How about my son spending more time with his mother from now on?"

 “Then what are you waiting for? Let’s go.”

So, Lu Ziqin accompanied Mrs. Ye to a tailor shop, then to a silver shop, and then accompanied Mrs. Ye to Chang'an Restaurant for lunch.

Ru'an sent someone back to Chengguo's palace to see if Miss Wang San had left. The servants went back and forth several times. It was not until the end of the year that they received a letter from Miss Wang San that she had left, and Lu Ziqin sent Mrs. Ye back to Chengguo. Government.

Mrs. Ye returned to the house, "What did you talk about? Why did Miss Wang San take so long to leave?"

Mrs. Qian spent a day with the guests, and she was so tired that she shook her head: "We started gossiping about common things, and then Miss Wang San talked about playing leaf cards.

Our mother said we didn’t know how to fight, so Miss Wang San enthusiastically taught us step by step, and we continued playing until the end of the day.

 Miss Wang San said she would come back to play with her mother another day. "

Mrs. Ye’s eyes widened and she asked in surprise: “Are you coming again?”

Mrs. Qian nodded and said truthfully: "I think she will come to our house often in the future. You'd better know what she is doing."

Mrs. Ye turned to look at Lu Ziqin and said bitterly: "Ziqin, what should I do? I don't want to go shopping every day. I'm too tired from shopping."

 Lv Ziqin looked up at the sky speechlessly.

Mrs. Qin said: "Let's talk about it when we get here. It's useless to think too much. Go and see if the food in the kitchen is ready. The office worker will be back soon."

 Mrs. Qian turned and went to the kitchen.

 Soon, Ye Cheng and Ye Minghao went to Qingfang Hall to pay their respects to Mrs. Qin.

Lu Ziqin had dinner with his family, returned to Zizhuyuan, changed his clothes, and took Ru'an to Mingyue Pavilion.

Gu Huayu was busy until the end of the day, sending away the guests who came to congratulate her one by one. She was preparing to have dinner with her family when she received a report from Qing Yu, "Princess, the child is awake."

Gu Huayu told her family and followed Qingyu to Mingyue Pavilion.

On the way, Qing Yu reported: "Princess, at the end of the day today, the third lady from Wang Xiang's Mansion went to Chengguo Mansion, and she has not left yet."

 He who arrived at the end of the morning has not left at this moment?

 Gu Huayu felt a little sour in her heart, and said lightly: "I know, take the person back, there is no need to keep an eye on him."

After Wang Peiyun went to Huayu Pavilion, Gu Huayu made people stare at her.

Qingyu responded: "Okay, I will turn around and pull the people back."

When Gu Huayu arrived at Mingyue Pavilion, Liu Guang greeted her, "The princess is here, Bao'er has been crying."

Gu Huayu raised her head and looked upstairs and said, "I didn't hear any sound."

Liu Guang explained: "He didn't cry, he just kept crying. He looked very pitiful. He didn't let anyone get close to him. If anyone came closer to the bed, he would shrink back." Liu Guang said as he moved forward. Gestures on the face.

"I know." After saying that, Gu Huayu turned and went upstairs.

 When Ruji saw her coming in, he bowed and said, "Princess."

Gu Huayu nodded slightly, looked at the bed, and asked, "How long have you been awake? How are you?"

 Ruji glanced at the hourglass and replied: "I've been awake for half an hour. I'm not in a good mood. I keep crying. I won't eat and won't let anyone get close to me."

Gu Huayu said: "I understand, if Ji stays, the rest will go out first."

 Liu Guangqingzhu and others retreated.

Gu Huayu asked softly as she walked to the bed: "Why is Bao'er crying? Is it because he has a headache?"

 Bao'er looked at Gu Huayu and instinctively shrank back without replying. His tears were like broken beads, rolling out big and small.

Gu Huayu smiled at Bao'er and said: "Bao'er, don't be afraid, I just want to help you wipe your tears. If you don't like it, then we won't wipe it. Okay?"

Gu Hua coaxed her with gentle words for a long time.

Baoer looked at Gu Huayu, maybe thinking that she meant no harm, so he relaxed and lay on the bed, staring at Gu Huayu for a moment.

 Gu Huayu was speechless and said: "What does Bao'er usually like to play? Do you like hide and seek? I especially liked hide and seek when I was a child. I also like to play throwing sandbags and skipping rope.

 Does Baoer like skipping rope? By the way, at Bao'er's age, he probably doesn't know how to jump rope yet. When Bao'er gets older, can I teach you how to jump rope? "

 Gu Huayu spoke very slowly, her voice was very gentle, she looked at Bao'er with a smile in her eyes, and observed the changes in his expression.

Slowly, Gu Huayu saw that Bao'er's clenched hands relaxed, and his eyes were not as frightened as before.

Gu Huayu continued: "When I was a child, I loved listening to stories. I always pestered my elders to tell me stories. As long as I listened to the stories, the pain in my body became much lighter. How about I tell Bao'er stories today too, okay? good?"

Gu Huayu found that Baoer actually nodded in agreement.

So, Gu Huayu told Baoer a story.

As she was talking, Gu Huayu held Bao'er's hand seemingly casually. Bao'er did not avoid it and let Gu Huayu hold his hand. She looked at Gu Huayu expectantly, hoping that Gu Huayu would continue talking.

 After the two stories, when Gu Huayu smiles at Baoer, he will smile back to her.

 Gu Huayu asked: "Does Bao'er have a headache?"

Bao'er shook his head. His head pulled the wound, which made him feel pain, so he nodded again.

Gu Huayu asked Bao'er while feeling his pulse: "It won't hurt if you don't move your head, right?"

 Baoer nodded.

Gu Huayu gently touched Bao'er's face, "Then let's not move. We'll wait a few days until the injury on Bao'er's head is healed before moving again, okay?"

 Bao'er replied softly: "Okay."

Gu Huayu pinched Bao'er's nose: "Bao'er is hungry, let's have some porridge, okay?"

 Bao'er responded obediently: "Okay!"

 Gu Huayu turned to look at Ruji. Ruji brought the porridge over. Gu Huayu took it and fed Baoer spoonful by spoonful. After Baoer drank most of the bowl of porridge, she handed the empty bowl to Ruji.

Gu Huayu wiped Bao'er's mouth with a handkerchief and asked him to drink some water. "Bao'er is tired. Close your eyes and go to sleep."

 Baoer closed his eyes obediently.

Gu Huayu waited for him to sleep soundly before getting up and retreating outside the house.
