Lin watched Gu Xiran and the others leave, and suddenly asked: "Master, why do I feel that Xiran has become a little different? If this matter was left in the past, he would have panicked long ago."

Gu Da was thinking about something in his heart, and said casually: "Really? Probably because he got married, he became calmer. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that his body..."

As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed.

Lin still said: "In the past, Xihe didn't like to look for him, saying that the second brother was suffocating, but now he always runs to Shengmei Pavilion. I'm afraid..."

"What are you thinking about?" Gu Da said disapprovingly, "Isn't brotherhood a good thing? It's better than him going outside to mess around!"

Mrs. Lin always felt that the matter of arresting the documents at sea was a bit strange, so she couldn't be sure that it was really Gu Xiran who did it! It's just that there is no evidence. Even if there is evidence, at most he will be scolded and locked up in front of the master. It seems that her stepmother is mean, so she didn't say any more.

On the contrary, Gu Da thought for a moment and said, "I need your help in this matter."

"Me?" Lin wondered, "I'm a woman, how can I help?"

"Didn't the matter of the county magistrate taking a concubine make his wife unhappy? Then he must have kept his wife a secret from his concubine's brother running rampant outside."

Lin made it clear: "Master's meaning..."

"I've thought about it. If we are a businessman, we still need to be friendly and make money. There is no need to form a dispute with the county magistrate over such a trivial matter. Besides, Xiran never goes out. Even if the sea arrest documents are scattered all over the city, no one knows about the painting on it." The gangsters look alike to him, probably even the magistrate himself doesn’t know that he has fallen into the trap set up by others! We don’t need to point it out, it’s better to take advantage of the trend to suppress the matter quietly, and pretend it never happened, so that It won't make a fuss and tarnish our family's reputation.~"

Gu Da walked up and down while talking: "You think of a way to invite the magistrate's wife to go to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. It's just a gossip. If you reveal this to her, she will definitely be angry with that concubine's brother. Husband's name is publicized, so we don't need to worry about the rest of the matter."

Lin thought for a while: "Do you want to prepare a gift?"

Gu Da picked up the tea bowl and took a sip: "Prepare some common courtesy, don't be too heavy, or you will teach her to guess our intentions."

. "

Lin nodded in agreement, and the matter was just revealed.

Two days later, Shu Huan learned several ways to play the zipper, and improved to string the carved rose beads together. The beads were exquisitely carved, and the horns were dark and lustrous. It is particularly eye-catching and beautiful, not to mention that this bracelet also has a natural, faint fragrance that seems to be absent, which provoked the two maids, Liang Chen and Mei Jing, to praise the second grandma's handiness.

Hearing this praise, Shu Huan was a little dumbfounded. To do this kind of handicraft is considered unpopular in the eyes of rich and noble families. As the second grandmother of the Gu family, if you want to be really skillful, you have to have exquisite embroidery. Aunt Yun gave it to Gu Xiran on her birthday. The purse embroidered by herself, not to mention the exquisiteness, she saw that she wanted to learn how to be a female worker, so she smiled wryly: "No need to exaggerate, the bracelets sold in the jewelry store outside are much more beautiful than the ones I carved."

Meijing curled her lips and said, "Those are made of gold, silver, pearls and jade, as vulgar as they are."

Liang Chen also said: "If you want to find this kind of wooden bead bracelet, you have to go to the temple and nunnery to look for it, but the best material is sandalwood, and most of the carvings are Arhats and Pixiu, which are used to ward off evil spirits. How can it be so beautiful?"

Shu Huan smiled slightly and said, "You guys have praised me so well, it seems that I can give it away.~"

Meimei hurriedly asked, "Who is Second Grandma going to send?"

Her gaze was still on the bracelet, revealing her reluctance.

Shu Huan carved this bracelet just to pass the time, and he didn't feel any reluctance at all. Anyway, if you want it, you can carve it later, so he put the bracelet in Meijing's hand and said: "Which one of you will take a trip?" ? Send this bracelet to the grandma, usually she always sends some food and things, but I didn't return the gift. "

Meimei hurriedly said, "I'll go, I'll go."

Grandma is famous for being kind to her servants, as long as they send things to her, they will be generously rewarded.

Liang Chen didn't compete with her for the job, he just said: "It's not a good idea to carry it like this. I'll find a more delicate box, padded it with brocade and send it over."

As she said that, she went to rummage through the boxes.

Shu Huan smiled, it turned out that gift-giving in ancient times also paid attention to packaging, no wonder there is an allusion about buying a box and returning the pearl.

It was busy here, so Gu Xihe broke in with a smile on his face

.

He was already used to Laisheng Meige, and he had to run here two or three times a day, becoming more and more unruly, and he didn't even need to report, but Shu Huan and Gu Xiran were not people who paid attention to etiquette, so they didn't care.

Shu Huan played with the agarwood in the wooden box, glanced at him and said, "What's so happy about it?"

"That fat..." He was halfway through talking, and felt that it was inconvenient for someone in the room to talk, so he changed the topic and asked, "Where is the second brother? Isn't he here?"

Shu Huan said casually, "I went out for a walk."

These days, Gu Xiran not only basks in the sun, but also goes out for a walk every day after meals, and doesn't want anyone to follow her.

Seeing that they seemed to have something to say, Liang Chen and Mei Mei obediently said that they had some errands to do, and avoided them.

As soon as Gu Xihe waited for them to leave, he immediately climbed onto a chair with beaming eyebrows, put it close to Shu Huan's ear and whispered: "That fat man is out of luck!"

As he said that, without waiting for Shu Huan to urge him to continue, he tapped the dyed ink and said, "Quickly, learn one for Grandpa!"

Dyeing ink was so embarrassing, but he didn't dare to disobey him, so he pinched his throat and imitated a woman's tone, and pointed his hand at Di Yan's head and said sharply: "Little brother-in-law! When did my wife have a brother? He What kind of brother-in-law of yours again? You let him do evil outside, people who don’t know, really think he is my brother, and my mother’s family’s face has been completely disgraced by you old pervert!"

"Pfft—" Shu Huan really couldn't help laughing, Ran Mo's voice hadn't completely changed, it had a little childlike voice, and it looked like a woman, but the overly exaggerated "showing off her female power" really It's thunderous and funny.

However, Diyan was still kneeling beside him and begging for mercy: "Madam, please forgive me! Madam, please forgive me!"

Ran Mo slapped him across the face, of course it wasn't a real slap, but Di Yan covered his face and fell back, whimpering.

"Who in the whole city doesn't know that your brother-in-law was beaten for molesting, and you still issued a sea arrest document? Are you deaf or blind when you are the magistrate? Participating in your favoritism and cheating is enough for you, why don't you hurry up? Withdraw the paperwork and return it to me!"

Diyan nodded again and again: "Madam said yes! I'll go, I'll go right away!"

"slow down

! And your little brother-in-law, tell the yamen servants to catch him back, give him a hundred bucks, and put him in prison! "

Diyan made a bitter face: "Ma'am, it's not good to do this?"

"What? You dare not listen to my words?!" Ran Mo rolled up his sleeves while imitating: "My old lady first captures your concubine and beats her to death, to see if you still protect her..."

Before finishing a sentence, when he turned around, he happened to see Aunt Yun standing outside the door with a slightly pale face, and immediately sensed something was wrong, politely greeted Ann, and retreated to Xihe's side. Get up on the ground, silent.

Aunt Yun heard Gu Xihe's voice and brought tea over. She didn't expect to hear the word "concubine" before entering the door. It hurt her heart, but she had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, "Fourth master drinks tea."

Then he put down the teacup and backed out.

Gu Xihe was used to seeing those concubines in his father's room, so he tugged on Shu Huan's sleeve, and said dissatisfiedly: "We didn't talk about her, why is she so serious?"

Shu Huan also smiled wryly: "Let her go."

Aunt Yun is willing to think more and suffer herself, what can she do? I just hope that you don't think about it, and you can calculate her again!
