In a blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.
The weather is hot, so Gu Jiu will not take the initiative to go out without Mr. Gu deliberately knocking.
Gu Jiu suffers from the bitter summer, and his body is weak. When the weather is hot, he can't cheer up every day, and he feels sick.
She wanted something cold, so Qingmei and Qingzhu stopped her.
The reason is that her body is weak, and eating too much cold food is not good for her health.
Gu Jiu suddenly felt that there was no love in life.
She was holding a round fan, lying on a soft bed, fanning the wind lazily.
The sun is shining brightly outside, and the birds are calling blindly on the branches. The branches and leaves are curled up, looking listless.
Gu Jiu felt sorry for her.
In such hot weather, no one can cheer up.
Jiang Yan walked in with a booklet.
"This is the handwriting copied by the servant girl, please check the girl."
Since Gu Jiu came back from Tianmen Temple, Jiang Yan officially followed Gu Jiu to read and write.
Qingmei, Qingzhu, and Xiaocui also followed Gu Jiu to read and write.
It's just that the three of them have no interest in reading. They feel headaches when they get the books, and feel that they can't control their hands when they write.
Qingmei also plausibly said that as long as she can read and do accounts, it's fine, and she doesn't take an exam, so why study so hard.
Hearing this, Gu Jiu stared at the sky speechlessly.
Three maids, wasting her heart and soul, she is really unpursued.
Only Jiang Yan studied very seriously and worked very hard.
In addition to completing the homework assigned by Gu Jiu every day, he also practiced by himself.
In just half a month, her handwriting has improved greatly from the ghostly drawn symbols at the beginning to barely catch the eye.
Gu Jiu took the booklet from Jiang Yan's hand and flipped through it page by page.
All of them are copied by Jiang Yan, which shows her hard work and hard work.
Gu Jiu nodded, "It's not bad, keep working hard, it will get better and better. Have you memorized all the "Thousand Characters" I gave you earlier?"
Jiang Yan lowered her head and said nervously: "Girl Hui, I don't recite it firmly enough. I always recite the back and forget the front."
"It's like this at the beginning, take your time, don't be impatient. Try to memorize them all in these two days."
Jiang Yan nodded heavily, "Your servant will remember."
There is a student who works hard and is motivated. As a teacher, he actually has a sense of accomplishment.
Even knowing that Jiang Yan is ambitious and unwilling to be mediocre, Gu Jiu is still willing to teach her and give her a chance to climb up.
I just don't know if Jiang Yan can seize the opportunity.
Xiao Cui came in from the outside, "Miss Qi, the eldest girl and the fifth girl are here to visit the girl."
"Big Sister and Fifth Sister are here, please come in quickly."
Gu Jiu laughed.
Jiang Yan retreated knowingly. She is good at sewing, and she usually makes clothes for Gu Jiu together with Qingmei.
Gu Zhen and Gu Lin were invited into the study room on the east side.
As soon as you enter the room, you feel cool. It turned out that there was an ice basin in the house, which was braving the cold.
Gu Zhen said: "Second sister's place is better, it's much cooler than my room."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Big Sister, Fifth Sister, please sit down."
The summer in the Northwest is hot, and there is limited ice storage in the house.
As a concubine, Gu Zhen got half as much ice as Gu Jiu, so she naturally had some thoughts in her heart.
Gu Zhen sat down next to Gu Jiu, "Second Sister, are you feeling better?"
Gu Jiu fanned the round fan lazily, nodded and said, "It's much better, Dr. Chen's medical skills are really good."
Gu Zhen said: "Aunt Hu is suffering from a bitter summer, and she is not in good health. I also want to ask Dr. Chen to come to the house to treat Aunt Hu. It's just that my wife values Dr. Xu more, so I invited Dr. Xu."
Gu Zhen's biological mother is Aunt Hu.
Aunt Hu gave birth to a son and a daughter, and she is very respectable in the mansion.
It's just that now that I'm old, my color is fading and I love to relax, so I don't care about the adults' love.
Aunt Hu is a low-key person, and under normal circumstances, Mrs. Xie would not intentionally embarrass her.
Gu Jiu held a round fan, covered half of her face, smiled slightly, and said, "Eldest sister should listen to my wife. My wife eats more salt than we have ever eaten. She said that Dr. Xu is good, so there must be nothing wrong." .”
Gu Zhen looked at Gu Jiu, "Second sister, is she sincere when she says this? Didn't you say that Dr. Xu is inferior to Dr. Chen?"
Gu Jiu shook her head, "Big sister misunderstood, I never said such a thing. I just said that Dr. Chen is better at internal medicine, while Dr. Xu is better at surgery."
Mrs. Xie would definitely not invite Dr. Chen, it would be so embarrassing.
Gu Zhen frowned.
Gu Lin secretly laughed.
The eldest sister is really confused, why bother with the second sister, there is no benefit at all.
Do you really think that if you embarrass your second sister, you can show your face in front of your wife? How naive.
The wife has a biological daughter, so it is rare to have a concubine.
As for Aunt Hu, she is old and decrepit, and she is low-key. If she doesn't cause trouble, she can't help the wife much.
The wife has never valued Aunt Hu, and maybe she will guard against Aunt Hu, after all, Aunt Hu gave birth to a son.
Thinking of this, Gu Lin felt a little proud, but her aunt could understand.
Gu Zhen frowned and asked, "Is that so?"
Gu Jiu nodded affirmatively, "I did say so."
Gu Zhen smiled when she heard this, "I misunderstood the second sister, so please don't argue with me."
"Big sister, you're welcome." Gu Jiu smiled.
Gu Lin took the opportunity to say: "Second sister, I heard that Mrs. Fu Yin sent a message to his wife, asking us to come over to enjoy the flowers and drink. Will you go?"
Gu Jiu didn't know about this.
"When?" she asked.
Gu Lin said: "Ten days later. It is said that Fu Yin's wife specially borrowed the garden of the General's Mansion for this banquet, and used it as a place to entertain guests."
The General's Mansion that Gu Lin mentioned was the residence of Luhou Peiren, the General of Zhengxi, in Jinzhou City.
I heard that there is a very beautiful garden in the General's Mansion, which is managed by a special person.
Lu Hou Peiren lived in the barracks on weekdays, and the General's Mansion had been vacant since the day it was built.
Before Gu Jiu could speak, Gu Zhen asked first, "Fifth Sister, who did you listen to? Why didn't I know about this?"
Gu Lin pursed her lips and smiled, with a little smug look on the corners of her brows and eyes.
"I heard what my aunt said. Early this morning, when my aunt was in the room to serve on his wife, a nun came to Fu Yin's residence to send an invitation to his wife.
I heard that Mrs. Fu Yin specially ordered that the girl in the family must be brought there, and there were so many people. "
"Really?" Gu Zhen snorted coldly to herself, Gu Lin actually knew what she didn't know, hum!
Then she said in a strange tone: "Auntie Bai has been working hard recently, and she has to go to the wife every day to set rules. It must be very tiring."
Gu Lin's complexion suddenly became white.
She grabbed the handkerchief and tried her best to laugh, "It's the right thing for my aunt to set up rules with my wife."
Gu Zhen sneered, "Aunt Bai has been in the mansion for more than ten years, but she still has to establish rules, it's really hard work.
I've never heard of anyone whose aunt, who has been in the mansion for more than ten years, is required to set rules every day.
Unless that person does something wrong, he will be punished by his wife and asked to set rules every day.
Fifth sister, go back and ask Aunt Bai, what did she do wrong, which made my wife set rules for her. "
Gu Jiu looked around, Gu Zhen had a lot of resentment towards Gu Lin.
Gu Jiu has also heard about Aunt Bai being disciplined recently.
Probably because some time ago, Mrs. Gu rested in Aunt Bai's room every day, which angered Mrs. Xie.
Therefore, Mrs. Xie made a rule for Aunt Bai, that she must punish Aunt Bai severely, in order to get rid of the bad breath in her heart.
It has to be said that Xie's soft knife kills people, and it is used very sneakily.
Yesterday Qingmei was still talking about how she met Aunt Bai on the road. Aunt Bai's face was so haggard that she couldn't see it, she was so thin and skinny, her appearance plummeted.
I don't know how much training I have suffered to become like that in just half a month.
Gu Zhen became anxious, her chest fluctuated, her face couldn't be tense, and she said loudly: "Eldest sister has little experience, so don't come out to make a fool of yourself. Who told you that an aunt who has been in the mansion for more than ten years will not be disciplined. You ask two questions. Sister, is there such a saying?"
The corner of Gu Jiu's mouth twitched, how could the flames of war burn on her all of a sudden.
Gu Zhen looked at Gu Jiu, "Second sister, did I say something wrong when you judged me? My aunt who has been in the mansion for more than ten years is still being disciplined by my wife. It's rare that it's not because she did something wrong and angered my wife. "
"You are talking nonsense, my aunt did nothing wrong." Gu Lin's eyes were wet, and she was about to cry.
Gu Jiu coughed lightly, and said: "You should ask your wife about this matter, no one knows better than your wife. Another thing, it's not our turn to discuss matters between your wife and aunt.
Big sister, fifth sister, stop arguing. Still think about what clothes to wear if you are going to attend Fu Yin's wife's banquet. "
"Ah!" Gu Zhen exclaimed, "I have worn the new clothes made at the beginning of the month twice, and they are not suitable for wearing to a banquet. What should I do? In ten days, can I have time to make two new clothes?"
Gu Lin snorted coldly, "Big sister, you should first ask your wife if she would like to make you new clothes."
Gu Zhen laughed, "Madam is the most generous, so of course she is willing. But you, fifth sister, don't wear old clothes to the banquet.
Ah, no, it should be said, Madam will let you attend Fu Yin's wife's banquet
Don't let us all go to the banquet at that time, leaving you alone in the mansion, how pitiful! Ha ha… "
Gu Zhen covered her mouth and laughed loudly, smiling at Gu Lin nakedly.
How could Gu Lin bear it, she burst into tears, covered her mouth and ran out.
Gu Jiu: It really beeped the dog.
Why did the two quarrel on her territory.
