However, the young ladies who were following behind them were probably angry that Jiao Jiao, a peasant girl, had received old grandma's kindness. One of them cursed in a low voice," humph, bumpkin!" "
Jiao Jiao had just stood still when he heard this and followed him," who did the bumpkin scold? "
"The bumpkin scolded you! "
Even though the little girl's voice was very low, in such a hall, the maid and the old maid were all tied up to serve her, and the wives of the various families held their own identities. No one was making any noise, so naturally, it was very clear.
So her little verbal encounter with Jiao Jiao was heard clearly.
The little girl saw that all the ladies had covered her mouth with a handkerchief. When she guessed that she would laugh at her again, she cut her legs and pulled her mother's sleeve." Mother, look at this bumpkin bullying me! "
This young lady's surname was chen ming xue' er, and she was the niece of madam gu and gu tianze's cousin. She was usually arrogant and arrogant, but she was considered half the master of the gu family. She was very proud of herself, but Jiao Jiao stole her limelight as soon as she arrived. She couldn' t bear to see it and forgot her family's instructions.
In the end, not only did she not vent her anger, she was embarrassed instead.
Her mother wished she could strangle the girl and bring her home, but it was not easy to do it in front of everyone. She could only tightly hold the girl's hand and smiled dryly. "
"That's right, that's what kids do. They' re making a lot of noise now. I' m afraid they' ll be playing together later." "
Old Mrs. Gu was concerned about her daughter-in-law's face and tried to mediate. Chen xue' er really didn' t have a brain, so when she saw that the old lady didn' t support her, she cut her legs and said angrily," I' m not playing with the bumpkins! I'm going to find my cousin! "
As she spoke, she ran out, causing madam chen to shout," xue' er, come back! "
Unfortunately, chen xue' er had already run away.
Madam chen was very embarrassed. She whispered to the trusted old lady beside her to look for her. At last, she smiled dryly and said," this girl was born with a straight temper and was spoiled by me. "
Madame gu lowered her head, as if the tea today was exceptionally delicious. She did not hear anyone speak at all.
The rest of the ladies continued to talk, and it was not easy for them to talk about their sons and daughters. Instead, they began to pick up the fashionable fabrics and designs in the city.
It was the first time Jiao Jiao had seen such an occasion, and he was sitting behind his aunt, listening with relish. Every now and then, in her spare time, she stole glances at the little girls who were also sitting behind the women.
Perhaps the topic of the adults was boring, and the young girls were also somewhat restless. They could not help but meet Jiao Jiao's gaze. Some people were cold and some looked at her with disgust, as if they were all aggrieved by chen xue' er just now.
Instead, the little girl in blue, who was sitting behind the demure woman, who was sitting at the top of her right hand, gave Jiao Jiao a friendly smile. Jiao Jiao immediately replied with a big, bright smile. It was as if the little girl had seen someone smile so happily for the first time. She couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Old Mrs. Gu was very close to her and said," usually, qing ya is quiet and quiet. If you don' t want to, you' ll be able to live." I heard that she went to my grandfather's house a few days ago to stay. How is my old sister? "
When madam zhuang heard this, an unnatural look flashed across her face. When qingya returned, her mother also instructed qingya to bring two good ginseng to old grandma. I'm busy today. I'll have it delivered tomorrow. "
"Old sister, you' re being polite. I' ve just picked up some good things too. I' ll send the new year gifts during the new year. Remember to inform me and take them with me." "
"Yes, aunt. "
Jiao Jiao was curious when she heard them talking intimately, but she couldn' t say it out loud.
At that moment, gu tianze, who was wearing a silver-colored long robe with a gold crown on his head, walked in from outside. The chicken heart pendant on his waist, as well as the money bag embroidered with the three friends, shook with his footsteps. It was hard to make a young man look elegant and elegant.
He had a beautiful face and smiled as he stepped forward to salute old grandma and the ladies. Not to mention old grandma's smiling face, all the young ladies were blushing.
Jiao Jiao suddenly thought of ye lan and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Was there something unusual about the feng shui in da yue? Ye lan had been calling for her to be his wife since she was ten years old. These little girls were already in love at the age of seven or eight. Could it be that there was an oxytocin in in the air in da yue?
After chatting with the crowd with a smile, gu tianze couldn' t wait to look at Jiao Jiao. He smiled and said," junior sister, mister said that you were cold a few days ago. I was worried that you wouldn' t be able to come today. I don't know you cold is very sharp, that fall injured hand, can leave a scar? "
Jiao Jiao did not feel bad about the gu family at all. The last time she met the bear child, she had indeed received gu tianze's help. She smiled and replied," thank you, senior brother. The cold has healed and there are no scars on her hands. "
Gu tianze was about to say something when chen xue' er, who had chased after him, was annoyed. She jumped out and shouted," cousin, how do you know this wild girl? He even asked her if she was injured. Have you seen her before? Did she hurt you too? "
Gu tianze glanced at his cousin. He was very annoyed that his wife was playing tricks on her husband. When he saw Jiao Jiao smiling sweetly, his eyes were bright and innocent, and his heart was filled with joy.
Hence, she ignored her cousin and bowed to her grandmother. She smiled and said," grandmother, junior sister and senior brother are both here for the first time. I' ll take them around to take a look. How about eating in my courtyard later? "
Old Mrs. Gu had always loved her grandson. Today was her grandson's birthday, so she naturally followed him.
"Well, your yard was meant to be a single table for your good friend. It's up to you to invite anyone over. "
"Thank you, grandmother. Gu tianze was overjoyed. He stepped forward and pulled Jiao Jiao with one hand. Then, he pulled the quiet lin an with the other and whispered," senior brother lin an, I heard that you' ve read the thousand characters and started to learn the analects. I' m the same as you. Let's test each other later." "
"Well, fourth uncle often said that my junior brother is smart, and I am not as smart as him. "
Lin an liked to read books the most. When gu tianze talked about his lessons, he smiled and walked out with him.
Chen xue' er saw that the three of them treated her like air and stomped her feet in anger. She wanted to chase after her, but madam chen caught her and pulled her to her side.
"Your cousin's place is filled with young masters from different families. What do you look like in the past? Stay with your mother and don' t run around." "
"Mother, what right does that wild lass have to go? I can' t go. I want to go too! "
Chen xue' er still insisted on following him. Zhou xinxiu, who was sitting opposite her, had been frowning and couldn' t hold it in anymore as she replied with a faint smile.
"Last time, Jiao Jiao accidentally fell and hurt his hand. It was tianze who helped him a lot. They all said that men and women were seven years old, and my Jiao Jiao was only five years old. He could even personally thank tian ze. Otherwise, he would be laughed at by outsiders for not knowing the etiquette and etiquette and not having any upbringing! "
She tried to explain for her niece, but the corner of her eyes swept over the angry chen xue' er. All the ladies present were smart people, so naturally, they knew who she was referring to.
