Wuwang reminds book friends to rest their eyes

As soon as Aunt Yun left, the room became lively again, because Shu Huan never put on airs like the host's grandma, and Ran Mo and Di Yan were not too restrained, chatting endlessly.

After hearing the fat man's tragic experience, Shu Huan smiled, still not convinced: "Did you make it up?"

"Who edited who edited it?" Gu Xihe said dissatisfied: "I figured it out"

Ran Mo immediately came up to flatter him: "Yeah, the fourth master is very powerful. He gave me two taels of silver to buy the servant of the county magistrate's family, and he told me all about it."

This is really rich money can make ghosts go round

Just as they were making a fuss, Jingmei came in with a basket of grapes, and said with a smile, "Second Mistress, I sent the bracelet to my eldest grandma. My grandma was very happy to see her, and she said that it troubled you. When the newly picked grapes come, let me bring some back by the way. Grandma also said that this year’s grapes are very sweet, but the first batch is not much, so don’t be disgusted, try something new.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Xihe snatched the basket in her hand like a hungry tiger, picked grapes and put them in his mouth.

.

Jingmei was taken aback for a moment: "Fourth Master, this hasn't been washed yet..."

Gu Xihe waved his hand, and just wanted to say that it was all right, when he suddenly saw Shu Huan reaching out and pointing at the grapes, he took a closer look, and there was a fat and plump worm curled up there that sucked the grape juice, and suddenly felt Feeling nauseous, I almost vomited.

He is not afraid of bugs, but it doesn't mean he doesn't feel like he almost ate bugs.

Looking at the grapes again, Gu Xihe had already lost his appetite, so he walked out: "I'll go to the old matriarch's to see what else is delicious."

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Gu Xiran came in slowly and said to him, "Thank you."

"I..." Gu Xihe was depressed, it was obviously just a coincidence, and after being thanked by him, he became a servant who specializes in opening curtains for others. He stomped his feet unconsciously and said, "Second brother is really bad."

Gu Xiran smiled: "Thank you for the compliment."

Hey, that's too thick-skinned. Gu Xihe didn't withdraw, so he turned around and was about to leave.

After sitting down, Gu Xiran straightened his clothes and said, "Xiao Si, wait a minute."

"how?"

"Go to the old matriarch to inquire and see if she is going to another hospital to escape the summer heat."

This is the usual practice in previous years. Whenever the steward of the other courtyard comes to deliver things in hot weather, the old matriarch will tell the steward to go back and clean the other courtyard, and choose a good day to move to escape the summer heat. No matter how luxuriant the flowers and trees are, it is not as cool as the other courtyards facing the mountains outside the city.

Gu Xihe scratched his head, and said a little annoyed: "You don't need to ask, right? Her old man said two days ago that this year's body is not as good as in previous years, and she will catch the cold easily when she goes to another hospital. I originally wanted to take advantage of it." Well, there is no chance."

"You want to go?"

"think"

Gu Xiran smiled slightly: "Then ask the old lady to go."

"It's useless to beg. Elder brother is busy. Second brother, you are sick. Third brother, I hate his cold face. No one is with me. Why would the old lady let me alone..." Halfway through the words, Gu Xihe suddenly opened his eyes, pointed at him and said, "Second brother, you want to go, so you let me ask the old lady?"

Gu Xiran nodded slowly, and said: "Smart"

"You...I..." Gu Xihe was tricked, and was very depressed: "Can't you ask for it yourself?"

Gu Xiran stretched out his index finger and shook it in front of him: "First, I don't ask for help; second, even if I beg the old lady, I may not agree."

. As for you, whatever you want to do, roll around or cling hard, you can always get her to let go. "

Gu Xihe really wanted to refuse, but remembering that the master is not very free in the mansion, and there is no one in the other courtyard, he can play wildly, so after thinking about it, he couldn't resist the temptation, so he agreed.

When he went out, Shu Huan got up without saying a word and wanted to go back to the inner room.

Gu Xiran smiled and said, "Why, hide when you see me?"

Being used to being teased by him, Shu Huan's ability to adapt is much stronger than before, and he opened his mouth and said, "How dare you? I'm going to pack my clothes for my master, so as not to turn around and forget something in a hurry."

You don't need to think about it. If Gu Xihe came forward to ask, the old lady would probably agree. To be honest, she was also very happy. After all, she has been bored in Gu's house for a long time, and she really wants to see the outside world. This feeling wasn't strong at first, but ever since she came back from the street that day, she yearned for freedom, and became more and more uncomfortable with the days when she couldn't get out of the door and didn't step out of the door.

Gu Xihe's reply was quite fast, and in the evening, he sent Mo Ran back and forth, saying that the old lady had agreed to let Gu Xiran follow him to recuperate, and take care of Gu Xihe by the way, but he was worried after all, except for Gu Xihe's In addition to the nanny Xiao, she also ordered four old mothers, four nurses, four rough envoys' wives and a cook to follow, and finally remembered that Aunt Yun was a prudent person, so she asked her to follow.

The old mothers are all the elders of the Gu family. As the saying goes, a servant becomes a master after a long time, so they naturally have to bring their little maids to serve them, but the little maids only care about them, so they have to bring a few maids who do heavy work, right? In addition, Gu Xihe's two bookboys were going to be taken away, and Aunt Yun's personal maid, Xiangqian, was also going with her...

In this way, a large group of people will suddenly be pulled, plus the luggage of these people, this is not a summer vacation, it is like moving

Not to mention that Shu Huan was taken aback, Gu Xiran was also very surprised: "Why are there so many people?"

Ran Mo smiled and said: "There are only about thirty people, not too many. If the old lady goes to escape the summer heat, more than half of the people in this family will be taken away."

Originally, I wanted to go to another courtyard to be free, but who knew that so many people went with me, how could there be any freedom at all? However, changing the environment is better than being bored in the Gu family, so Shu Huan could only comfort himself like this

.

Gu Xiran is obviously not a person who likes to comfort himself, he frowned slightly and said, "You don't need to go, you can stay in Shengmei Pavilion and take care of the house."

Aunt Yun was startled, before she could speak, Ran Mo shook her head: "Si Ye told the old matriarch, the matriarch said..."

"say what?"

Ran Mo gave Shu Huan an apologetic look: "The cook only needs to cook three meals, and Aunt Yun's cooking skills are good. If I go with you, in case the two masters are hungry at night, it will be convenient to think of what to eat, let alone two The decoction here is also indispensable for the master, as for the second grandma... I guess it would be good if she can make steamed buns and pickles, so let's go and play around."

Madam, what you said is really hurtful

After thinking about it, Shu Huan felt that she didn't go to pay her respects these days, so she didn't offend her old man at all, but when she thought about the meaning of that sentence, she suddenly realized, could it be that the old lady thought that going to another hospital was her out of business? idea

Thinking about it, the old matriarch is a smart person, and he has to think over and over again in his heart when he encounters a problem. How could he not guess that Gu Xihe's sudden arguing to go to another hospital was instigated by others? When she was just packing up her things, Aunt Yun also said that the second master had never been to other courtyards, so she didn't know what to bring. It can be seen that Gu Xiran used to stay at home very peacefully, so the culprit was her, who was used to showing her face before, and An Who else can there be for a poor girl who can't afford it

Since it was her idea, and the old matriarch is reluctant to let Gu Xihe stay away from his side, this account will naturally be settled on her head, and it is already very generous to just hurt her to vent her anger

Shu Huan thought about it and couldn't help but smiled bitterly. Of course, the bitter smile was not because she took the blame for Gu Xiran, but because she felt that the old matriarch really flattered her, thinking that she could still make some corn-bread pickles. In fact, she was also spoiled since she was a child. , apart from being able to make instant noodles, I have never even held a spatula
