The woman who talks to Gu Qingzhou is not the person of he family, but the sister-in-law of he Mingxuan, the "aunt" of he family.
This woman's name is Xue Ying. Twenty years ago, her husband passed away, and her brothers in her family were all defeated. She may blackmail her dowry. Therefore, she took a lot of wealth to her sister and brother-in-law.
He Mingxuan's wife, then, is eighteen years older than Xue Ying. The two sisters have a common feeling. Moreover, they are not born by one mother. Xue Ying is a concubine.
Mrs. Kehe is cowardly and soft. The concubines rush to her. Her husband is born with charity, so he takes this little girl in.
Xue Ying lived here for 20 years.
During this period, she helped her sister and brother-in-law run the family, and Yan Ran was the second hostess.
She is indispensable for any important occasion of the he family.
He Mingxuan trusts her very much. Let alone Xue Shi, who is the eldest daughter-in-law now in charge, she cannot go.
Outsiders don't know.
"No, it's your cheongsam. Is it Luo Wuniang's skill?" Gu Qingzhou has a soft smile. She smiled a little bit, so she looked a little bit charming.
The girls of the he family are relieved.
The eldest grandmother said with a smile, "little madam, you really have good eyesight. This is the folding branch and Begonia embroidery work that luowuniang is good at."
"I look like that." Gu Qingzhou road.
Xue Ying's smile is more gentle: "if you like it, I'll give you a pair of shoes, which is also the craftsmanship of Luo Wuniang. She never makes shoes. It's a rare pair. "
That is to say, her relationship with Luo Wuniang is so good that she can send her shoes in private.
Gu looked at her feet and said, "I'm afraid that if we are different in size, I won't take advantage of others."
She smiled and shifted the subject.
Xue Ying is also very measured. According to the words, she stops talking. As expected, she doesn't mention it again.
Gu Qingzhou talked all the way to the main courtyard.
The stage of the he family has already been set up, and the brocade flag is full. The stage looks lively, luxurious and colorful.
On the stage at this moment, there are two martial arts students fighting against each other, but there is no sonorous sound of gongs and drums around. In this way, it is lively and not too noisy.
The seat of Gu Qingzhou is the first table closest to the front row.
"The governor and his wife will also come today. Is this the table?" Asked Gu Qingzhou.
Last night, the superintendent called Gu Qingzhou. He was going to come back in person.
The reason is very simple. He Mingxuan doesn't have a supervisor's seat, and he can't suppress the public opinion at this moment.
Nanjing and Yuecheng are very close. There were many politicians in Nanjing to buy homes in Yuecheng. They come back on Friday and return on Sunday night. It's very convenient.
"Yes, little lady." The eldest grandmother replied.
Gu Qingzhou nodded a little: "go ahead, I know there are many guests today."
The girls of the he family said yes.
Xue Ying, the grandmother, stayed to chat with Gu Qingzhou: "little madam, I'll relieve your boredom so that you don't have to sit alone."
She still doubted the intention of taking a look at her.
Gu Qingzhou smiles: "it's hard"
she doesn't seem to know how to call her.
Xue Ying hurriedly said: "people in the he mansion call me Auntie and grandma. My late husband's surname is Qi. I prefer to be called Qi's wife."
Qi?
Gu Qingzhou's mind converged and smiled and said to Xue Ying, "do as the Romans do, and I'll teach your aunt. Have you been in Yuecheng for some years? According to your accent, you are from Yuecheng. "
"I've been living with my sister." Xue Ying said with a smile, "our family has moved to Yuecheng for about twelve or three years."
Our family?
Gu Qingzhou looks at this Auntie who can be the master of the family, but can speak. I don't know what kind of mood Mrs. he is in?
If you take care of the boat, you will never allow others to occupy her family like this.
"That's a long one, too." Gu chuckled.
Xue Ying said, "yes. Only when Yuecheng is peaceful can we take root. It's all given to us by the military government. "
After that, she praised the military government.
Gu Qingzhou did not listen to any of them. When he heard the interesting place, he smiled a little and did not move at all.
They said a few words, and Mrs. Yan arrived.
Gu Qingzhou stood up and said, "Mom, are you here too?"
"How can I not come on such a happy day?" Mrs. Yan said with a smile.
Xue Ying also exchanged greetings with Mrs. Yan.
Mrs. Yan smiled warmly, listened to a few words, and suddenly asked, "are you?"
Next to he's grandmother, a little embarrassed: "this is my aunt."
Mrs. Yan looked at Xue Ying and said meaningfully, "Oh, it's the aunt of he Fu, but she's heard of it."
After that, she said to Xue Ying, "you are such a smart person."
Mrs. Yan is very gentle. She doesn't stab her heart. Xue yingleng doesn't get up naturally. She has ghosts in her heart, so she naturally feels that others are calling on her.
"Thank you very much, Mrs. Yan." Xue Ying said to Gu Qingzhou, "little madam, Mrs. Yan, I'll go to entertain first."
Gu took a look at her back.
"What are you looking at?" Mrs. Yan asked Gu
"She has a phoenix blood jade bracelet on her wrist, which seems to be very valuable." Gu Qingzhou road.
Mrs. Yan laughed: "do you still envy others' jewelry? However, the pure natural Phoenix blood jade can be met and can't be asked. I don't have it. I can't give it to you. "
Gu chuckles.
She had an idea in her mind.
Xue Ying's face and jade bracelet told Gu about one thing.
Maybe Gu Qingzhou will soon find her master.
She was thinking, and there was laughter outside.
The guests rose in a commotion.
Gu Qingzhou also stood up and walked a few steps forward. It must be the governor's arrival that can cause such a sensation. Moreover, she also heard the governor's laughter.
She stepped forward.
"The boat first?" As soon as the chief inspector saw Gu Qingzhou, his smile immediately turned into a kind deep smile. He turned to him Mingxuan and said, "don't say that you have been crazy for a long time, but the wisdom and ability of Qingzhou are rare in ancient times. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can ask your wife."
Everyone took a breath.
They know that Gu Qingzhou is very powerful, and they know that even they admire her for resolving the crisis in Yuecheng.
But she was so valued by the inspector general that the guests did not expect it.
For a while, the attitude of people to take care of the light boat became more and more respectful.
The Secretary's wife, who was following the governor, took a deep breath and then resisted the change of face.
After the governor's husband and wife, there are sifangfei and Sifangzhi.
Siqiongzhi turned his face away from the light boat, but sifangfei smiled softly and cried out, "second sister-in-law."
In front of the superintendent, sifangfei was very respectful of the light boat.
Gu Qingzhou's smile did not change. He exchanged greetings with her and said, "Fangfei, are you tired from riding all the way?"
