Chapter 358 Going to the county seat

Gu Jinli said: "Mrs. Jiang sent this message to my family. My family can take whomever they like. Besides, she was rejected by the Yuan family and will have to be sad for a while. Why would she want to visit Jiang's house as a guest?"

In fact, after Gu Yumei was initially angry, she was now extremely happy. She was waiting for Wan Xiucai's family to come to propose marriage so that she could marry into the town and become a young mistress.

"That's right, then I can play happily." Luo Huiniang didn't like Gu Yumei. After hearing Gu Jinli's words, her unbearability disappeared instantly, and she said to Gu Jinli: "What fun things are there in the county? Jiang Mansion Is the food delicious? Will my brother go to Jiang Mansion today? "

Gu Jinli lifted the small curtain of the car window, looked at the scenery outside and said, "I should go."

Her sister went to Jiang Mansion today. Since Luo Wu liked her sister's enthusiasm, it would be strange not to go to Jiang Mansion to see her sister.

Luo Huiniang became happy after hearing this. She kept talking to Gu Jinli and Gu Jinxiu in the mule cart, and laughed when she talked about something happy.

After running for half an hour, the mule cart arrived at the intersection of Shangjia Village. After meeting up with Shang Xiucai's family who was waiting there, they ran towards the county seat together.

Today is the Qiqiao Festival, a festival held at her daughter’s house. Originally, Gu Jinan was not supposed to go, but Shang Xiucai wanted to accompany Mr. Jiang back to her parents’ home. He wanted Gu Jinan to get in touch with the wealthy circles in the county, so he brought him here to meet him. world.

 The mule cart ran for another hour and finally arrived at Jiangfu, the county seat.

Mrs. Jiang is a guest of the Jiang Mansion, and Nanny Wen, who is beside Mrs. Jiang, came to pick her up personally.

"Auntie, you are finally back. Madam has been waiting impatiently." Aunt Wen came forward with her maids and stretched out her hands to help Mrs. Jiang get out of the mule cart. The maid next to her took Yuanyuan and held her in her arms.

Yuanyuan knew that maid. He didn’t cry when she was holding her. Instead, he smiled happily and said, “Sister Lianhe, Yuanyuan misses you so much~”

Maid Lian He smiled, but before she could say anything, Yuan Yuan saw Gu Jinli and the others coming down, and immediately stretched out her hand to Gu Jinli: "Sister Xiaoyu, give me a hug~ It must be delicious."

Gu Jinli smiled, this little kid always said this every time he saw her, is she her mobile kitchen?

Ms. Jiang was helpless and scolded Yuanyuan with a smile: "You fat girl just remember to eat. No matter how many good things your sister Xiaoyu has, you can't stop eating them."

Yuan Yuan was displeased when his mother called her fat girl. She pouted and said, "It's not a fat girl, it's a Fuwa. Grandma said that."

Mother Wen hurriedly praised: "Yes, our cousin is a lucky baby."

He looked at Gu Jinli and the others again and saluted them. Gu Jinli and the others hurriedly avoided them.

Gu Jinli said: "This nanny doesn't need to be polite. You are just embarrassing us."

Nanny Wen said: "This old slave is a servant of Jiang's family. You are the savior of Miss Jiang's family. You deserve the courtesy from me."

This little girl may not know how important cousin is to the Jiang Shang family. If something happens to cousin, neither Mr. Jiang nor Mrs. Jiang will survive.

Ms. Jiang smiled gently and said, "Xiaoyu, you are the guests invited by my mother. You are honored guests of my family. You don't have to be polite."

Gu Jinli and the others had no choice but to accept Nanny Wen's gift. After that, the group followed Nanny Wen to the backyard of Jiang Mansion.

Gu Jinan followed Shang Xiucai to the study room in the front yard.

The courtyard of Jiang Mansion is deep, and every ten steps has a view. Luo Huiniang and Gu Jinxiu have never seen such a large house. They are a little scared every step they take. They hold Gu Jinli's hand tightly. Luo Huiniang still regrets coming to the county town.

 She felt that she did not dare to laugh loudly in such a big house. Nanny Wen was a delicate person. Seeing that they were nervous, she followed them and talked along the way.

Ms. Jiang was also afraid that they would be frightened when they first arrived, so she told them about the Jiang Mansion in a gentle voice beside her, which made their fear disappear a lot.

After a cup of tea, they finally arrived at the flower hall in the main courtyard of Jiang Mansion.

 There are already many guests sitting in the flower hall, all ladies and ladies who are familiar with Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang was in her fifties and looked gentle and amiable. When she saw them coming, she immediately stood up and came over to greet them. She took Gu Jinli's hand and said, "You are Xiaoyu, right? I've wanted to see you for a long time, and today I finally get to see you." ”

"

Mrs. Jiang pointed to her bun and said: "Xue Niang said that no matter where you go, you always wear a bun, unlike other little girls who always wear a bun."

Gu Jinli touched his bun and said with a smile: "It's convenient to tie it up like this. It will take a long time to comb the double bun, which will delay your work."

Mrs. Jiang laughed loudly after hearing this: "You kid is really interesting."

Then he looked at Gu Jinxiu and said, "You are the embroidery sister, right? The embroidery pictures you sent me have gained me a lot of dignity. Even the shopkeeper of Huaiyu Embroidery Shop praised your craftsmanship and wanted to spend money with me." I refused to buy your embroidery pictures, and the shopkeeper of Huaiyu Embroidery Shop became anxious with me, saying that he would cut off the handkerchief with me."

After speaking, he looked at the old woman sitting in the first seat on the right side of the flower hall: "Old sister, what I said is right."

The shopkeeper of Huaiyu Embroidery Shop laughed when he heard this and said: "That's right, you got so many good pictures to show off to me, but you are reluctant to give me even one and let me just look at it with greed. Can I not be angry?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang looked with a bit of pride on her face. She looked at Luo Huiniang next to her. Seeing her nervously holding Gu Jinli's hand, she smiled and said, "You must be Huiniang. Your eldest brother will be here today. You will come at noon." To be able to see him.”

"Really?" Luo Huiniang heard that her brother would come, and saw that Mrs. Jiang was very approachable. The nervousness and fear in her heart finally disappeared. She pointed at her face and asked, "Madam, do you know me too? Madam, do you It’s really amazing. You haven’t even seen the three of us before, but you recognized all of us when we first met. Are you a **** who knows magic?”

“Haha, this girl is also very interesting.” Mrs. Jiang is older and likes girls like Luo Huiniang who have round faces and look blessed and cute.

“Grandma~Grandma, you don’t even care about Yuanyuan.” Seeing that Mrs. Jiang kept talking to Gu Jinli and the others, Yuan Yuan became unhappy and reached out for Mrs. Jiang to hug her.

Mrs. Jiang loves her granddaughter the most. When she heard this, she hugged her quickly. Seeing that her hand was heavy, she laughed at her and said, "Grandma's Fuwa is fat again."

As she spoke, Mrs. Jiang asked Mrs. Jiang to lead Gu Jinli and the three of them to sit down, and then introduced them to the guests in the flower hall.

There were quite a lot of guests, including the wives and ladies of the county government officials; the wives and ladies of several wealthy households in the county; and the wives and daughters of the government officials. There were more than thirty guests alone.

 They were accompanied by at least two maids.

 Fortunately, the Jiang family's flower hall is big enough, so many people gathered in the flower hall, and it didn't seem crowded.

After everyone saw the ceremony, the shopkeeper of Huaiyu Embroidery Shop couldn't help but ask Gu Jinxiu: "Did you bring new embroidery pictures today? Can you show them to us?"

Today is the Qiqiao Festival, and the girl who comes as a guest will definitely bring one or two pieces of embroidery of her own.

Gu Jinxiu smiled and nodded: "If you bring it, Madam can of course watch it."
