Chapter five hundred and sixty second: Gu's sister-in-law
The next day, before dawn, Su Jinxin woke up, and Mr. Gu Liu was still sleeping. Su Jinxin reached out to touch his eyes and began to play with the strands of long hair that he had hung down.
"Stop making trouble." Mr. Gu Liu was sleeping vaguely, but he grabbed Su Jin's turbulent tenderness with one hand.
It was rare that he was still conscious at this time, and Su Jin comforted him. This Gu Xiaoliu would never wake up until the sun was noon. Even if there was thunder outside, he would not wake him up.
"Jinxin...Madam..." Begging for mercy in confusion, but Mr. Gu Liu's eyes were closed.
Su Jin couldn't help but be angry. He was so sleepy, but he was very energetic last night. He was so troubled that she was willing to let her go to bed in the middle of the night. She thought he had changed his temperament and was feeling that he was sleeping now. I'm afraid that he would not get up even if he was no more than a day today.
The first door of the door was not in the morning and evening. It was especially entitled by the prefect, but the second day after entering the door, it was not enough to say that I had to pay my respects to my parents-in-law. I didn’t have to worry about my eldest aunt, but I had to give some face to my father-in-law. Otherwise, the female relatives of the Gu family would make a fuss and drown her by just spitting. To put it nicely, her bride just didn’t understand the rules of the Gu family as soon as she entered the door. To put it bluntly, she was Su Jinxin, relying on her husband’s love and favor, and corrupting the Gu family’s style.
"Go to sleep. I will let Qiaolan bring you lunch." Su Jinxin put Master Gu Liu's hand into the brocade quilt, put on a coat, and walked off the bed.
In bed affairs, Mr. Gu Liu is a considerate and good husband. Although Su Jinxin had been dating him for a long time last night, Mr. Gu Liu was taking care of her and did not make her feel too painful.
"Jinxin." I felt that there was a shortage of people next to the pillow, and Mr. Gu Liu sat up suddenly.
Su Jinxin burst into laughter. Mr. Gu Liu, who was half wrapped in a brocade quilt, looked tired, his eyes closed, but he was still calling her name in his mouth.
"Gu Xiaoliu, lie down for me quickly!" Su Jinxin deliberately scolded, his tone was like accusing Fan Yichu of studying.
Hearing Su Jin's familiar voice, Mr. Gu Liu actually lay down obediently, covered himself with a quilt, and fell asleep again.
Su Jinxin covered him with a brocade quilt and pulled the bed tent.
"Sisters are waiting for the sixth young lady to wash."
As soon as he walked out of the inner room, Qiaolan, Zhilan and Qinglan each brought two little maids to wait in the outside room. Qiaolan was holding a copper basin, Zhilan was holding a silk skirt, Qinglan was holding tea, and the remaining little maid was holding jewelry, sachets and other items that Su Jinxin usually wore.
Su Jinxin soaked her hands in a copper basin, chewed her teeth in the morning, and then washed her face.
Finally, I asked these maids to serve her to dress up.
Su Jinxin came from the Su family and brought only three maids Qiaolan, Qinglan and Zhilan. The other little maids were sent by the housekeeper Gu Zhong. Originally, Mr. Gu Liu's house was full of young and beautiful maids, and they all had good looks. Mr. Gu Liu was not a polite person, so he often played with these maids. Mr. Gu was worried all day long, afraid that these little vixen would take his little Liu to take his concubine. Mr. Gu Liu disagreed and only worried that the governor Gu could not sleep every night. Later, Mr. Gu Liu came back from Lin'an and drove away all the maids in the house. Mr. Gu was worried again. What should he do if Xiao Liu was not close to the female sex? Now that Mr. Gu Liu married his wife, Mr. Gu felt at ease and stopped interfering in the affairs of Mr. Gu Liu's yard.
"Second Miss, there are three mothers and four servants in our yard..." Zhilan is the oldest among the three maids. She used to be in the Su family, and she was also in charge of Su Jinxin's yard. When she arrived at the Gu family, she naturally took over the courtyard where Mr. Gu Liu lived.
Su Jinxin raised his hand to stop him, "You have always been sensible in your work. You don't have to tell me about this in the future."
"Yes, Miss Second." Zhilan closed the roster and said respectfully.
"Miss Second Miss, this hairpin was customized by the second aunt himself. It's ordinary, and it can't be seen at all." Qiaolan inserted a green jade hairpin into Su Jinxin's hairpin and complained, "Also, the texture on this hairpin is not well-carved at all, rough and ugly."
"Looking at the color of this hairpin, you will know that it is a top-notch jade, but it is not satisfactory in the workmanship." Qinglan whispered.
"Don't say anything more. Besides, I'm afraid the second lady will be annoyed." Zhilan said with a smile, "This hairpin seems simple, but it's also my second aunt's wish."
"I can't hide anything from you." Su Jin's face was dizzy and stood up. He wore a silk skirt with a smoky and cloudy lace. The hem of the skirt was outlined with colorful silk patterns. His feet were embroidered with shoes. The satin surface of the shoes was embroidered with small branches of white plum blossoms. His face was beautiful. Although it was not a charming look, it was also bright and radiant.
"I will return to the sun tomorrow, and the gift list is ready." Although Lin and Aunt Liu and others are not worthy of her nostalgia, the Su family, Mei, Ping'er, Uncle Fu and others should go back and take a look.
Zhilan stepped forward to Fusu Jinxin, "I have prepared it for my wife, for the third lady, for the fourth lady, for the Mei and Liu, and none of them left behind."
Zhilan has always been thoughtful in everything, and Su Jinxin is relieved, "Let's go, I didn't go to pay my respects yesterday, I can't be late again today."
"Where is the second sister-in-law?" Qiaolan pointed to Mr. Gu Liu who was sleeping inside.
"If he gets up to pay his respects, I am afraid that my lady's father-in-law will fall off the chair." Su Jinxin joked, Qiaolan, Zhilan and other maids beside him all covered their mouths and smiled.
After leaving the courtyard, Su Jinxin met Nian and Jiang Sufang’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the winding veranda.
"Sixth brother and sister, I got up very early today." Nian smiled kindly.
Jiang Sufang saluted Su Jinxin, "Sixth aunt."
Su Jinxin nodded and called Nian "Sister-in-law". Her smile was faint, and her eyes were neither alienated nor warm.
"Dad went to the yamen to handle the work in the morning. You also know about my mother's situation. When you came back, our Gu family fell ill and the disease was not cured." Nian said something, and Su Jinxin could hear it as soon as she heard it. It was her fault for making her angry aunt.
"Isn't my sister-in-law saying it? This marriage is a joy for other people's family, but when we arrive at our Gu family, it will cause trouble." The fifth young lady Tong came out of another courtyard. When she saw Su Jinxin, she deliberately surprised her, "Oh, sixth brother and sister-in-law, the fifth sister-in-law didn't see you. I'm sorry, sorry, fifth sister-in-law, I've always been outspoken, don't take it to your heart."
"We don't know if you are outspoken or not, but you are afraid that the world will be in chaos, Tong Wan will always be you." Immediately afterwards, the third young lady Youshi also came.
"San Sister-in-law, what about the third brother? Isn't going out to catch crickets again?" Tong and Youshi were not in harmony. After the adoption yesterday, their enemies were even more jealous when they met. If they didn't say anything to each other, they felt uncomfortable.
"You!" Mr. Gu San was born to a concubine whom Gu was the most unpopular concubine. You married him. He thought that no matter how bad Mr. Gu San's son was, the third son of the prefect's family would not be too bad. Unexpectedly, Mr. Gu San's son began to like to raise crickets, catch crickets, and fight crickets... Mr. You once burned Mr. Gu San's cricket jars, and Mr. Gu San's son quarreled with her and said he wanted to divorce his wife. You were afraid, so he could only let Mr. Gu San's son hold his cricket for the rest of his life. Fortunately, Mr. You gave birth to a son and then focused all his attention on his son, so he no longer cared about Mr. Gu San. But at this moment, the child poked You's scar in front of Su Jinxin, the new sixth lady. You were so angry that he gritted his teeth, "Aren't the fifth brother walking birds and doing nothing?"
"Ha...San Sister-in-law, I'll say you're a small family and have no knowledge. Which family in this wealthy family has not raised a bird or two? My husband's red-billed parrot is very good. Feeding once is enough for ordinary people to eat for a month or two." Mr. Gu Wu was just a scholar after taking the exam. He was dull and could not speak very well. Tong also slapped his front teeth and swallowed his stomach, but he still did not forget to attack Mrs. Yu on his face.
"San Sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law." Seeing that Youshi Tong was about to fight again as she spoke, Su Jinxin kindly reminded, "Do we go and pay our respects to our mother?"
"Fifth brother and sister, your Tong family is also a well-known family in Guizhou. Don't lose your identity." Nian started to scold Tong, but this was a bit of belittling the third young lady You. You were angry, but because Nian was the eldest sister-in-law, she couldn't say anything.
This Nian clan obviously protected Tong clan and looked down on You clan. Su Jinxin thought to himself that because she promised Mr. Gu Liu not to participate in the Gu family's inner house fight last night, she pretended to be a fool who could not understand anything.
"What my sister-in-law said is that a family with status like our Gu family cannot do this without identity." Su Jinxin pretended to agree with Nian, and naturally said this without any leakage. At first glance, he was standing on Nian's side, but after careful consideration, he was also ridiculed. As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family, Nian secretly instigated Tong to make enemies with You and isolating Lu, and it should not be the thing a sister-in-law should do.
Nian glanced at Su Jinxin. She was such a clever sixth sibling. If she hadn't lived a long life and was sophisticated, she would probably not have heard the sarcasm of the third and fifth siblings.
"It's getting late, let's go." Nian said seriously. This is also Nian's sorrow. Although she is about the same age as Mrs. Gu, in terms of seniority, Mrs. Gu is the mistress of the Gu family and her mother-in-law. Mrs. Gu does not like stepmother, but her legitimate daughter of the Nian clan cannot do anything that is not abide by etiquette.
After Nian finished speaking, he walked in front of the third young lady, fifth young lady, and Su Jinxin followed closely.
As soon as he arrived at the courtyard where Mrs. Gu lived, the second young lady and the fourth young lady also arrived.
When Lu saw Su Jinxin, he pleased, "The sixth brother and sister are weak, and my father has saved you from this morning and evening. The sixth brother and sister are actually here. It's so filial."
"They are all daughters-in-law of the Gu family, how dare Jinxin be exceptional?" Su Jinxin said neither humble nor arrogantly.
At this moment, the butler Gu Zhong hurried over and saw Su Jinxin and others, saying, "I have seen several young ladies."
"Why are you so panicked?" Nian asked.
Gu Zhong was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, "Report to the eldest young lady, it was the fourth lady and the fourth aunt, and they started fighting!"
