Back To My Husband’s Youth - Chapter 92
Days pass by.
Finally, the 20th anniversary of the celebration of New Year’s Eve is ushered in, and it is also the first New Year’s Eve since Gu Wuyou’s rebirth.
Early in the morning, Dingguo Gong’s office began to get busy. The woman underneath and the maid sweeping the courtyard, cleaning the door lintel, and pasting the Spring Festival couplets and blessings, replacing all the old lanterns with new ones. The whole mansion is filled with the joy of welcoming the spring and leaving the old.
Gu Wuyou got up early too.
After eating breakfast, Bai Lu handed her a booklet in her hand, “The things that Langya sent have arrived, and the slaves have been sent to the old lady and others. This is the old lady alone. For you.”
“The slaves have been proofread, and all the ones that are needed now have been moved to the next room, and those that are not needed are moved to the warehouse, so that they can be registered and taken care of.”
These things are usually handled by Bailu and Hongshuang.
Gu Wuyou has always ignored it. Hearing the words, he just nodded, then opened the booklet and took a look, and saw the three-page gift, almost all of the food, clothing, and daily life. She said helplessly: “Why did my grandmother give it again? So much?”
When she came back earlier, my grandmother gave me a few carts of things.
It has only been more than a month, and so much has been given away.
Bai Lu smiled and said: “The old lady loves you for fear that you will be inconvenient in the capital, so I naturally think of sending you whatever is good.” She added a cup of tea for others, and then said: “Furthermore, this is not from the public. The money that comes out is the old prince’s personal money, even if it is given to you, no one else can say anything.”
“That’s what I said, but if my grandmother is like this, I’m afraid my aunt and the others will be distracted.”
Gu Wuyou sighed. After all, it is the aunt and they are taking care of her grandmother. She is now in the capital, so far away, and can’t take care of her. Grandma’s heart is so biased, the people below dare not talk about her majesty. , But there will definitely be complaints in private.
Thought for a while.
She said to Bailu, “After the Spring Festival, it will be the birthday of my aunt. I’m afraid I won’t be able to go this time. You can prepare more things to send to me. My aunt likes Guanyin Master. I remember there is a white jade carving in the warehouse. Yes, take this one too.”
Although she doesn’t like these people’s sophistication, it is not impossible.
Favoring contacts means having contacts. She made her aunt relieved, and they will naturally treat her grandmother well.
Bai Lu didn’t expect that she had considered so much now, and she was relieved and happy, and she was busy.
Gu Wuyou continued to look through the booklet. Apart from the gift from her grandmother, behind her were the things given to her by a few cousins and aunts, but what surprised her was…this time, Wang Zhao also gave it to her. Something.
but.
She didn’t think too much, and closed the booklet after a glance.
Just as Hongshuang came in, Gu Wuyou asked them to take out all the gifts she had prepared earlier, and then instructed the two of them, “These strings of jade pendants are for daddy, third brother and ninth brother. Yes, and these shoes are for Daddy alone.”
“The two strings with jade beads are for the second sister and Ayu.”
“You send someone to deliver it first.”
She did it herself. The grandmother gave the gift earlier, and she didn’t do anything else. As for Madam Fu and the third aunt, she asked Bailu and the others to prepare a gift. This will wait for two girls. After answering, he asked again, “What did Madam Fu and Third Auntie prepare?”
Bai Lu replied: “Ms. Fu prepared a pair of bracelets made of white jade. The third lady likes gold and silver, so she gave a pair of pure gold bracelets.”
Gu Wuyou nodded, and then exhorted, “Since it’s the New Year, in addition to the rewards given by the public, you will wrap a red seal for the people in our yard. As for Mother Meng, remember to wrap one more. Fortunately, I heard that her daughter-in-law is about to give birth, which is a bonus for me.”
“Let her rest for a few more days, and let her go home to gather with her son and daughter-in-law.”
Bai Lu Hongshuang replied “Yes” in unison. When they went out and ordered to give gifts, Gu Wuyou sat on the soft couch holding the fifteen in the new clothes, and while lowering his head and handing it pine nuts, he whispered to him, “Xiao Shi Fifth, today is also the birthday of the general. Speaking of which, I haven’t spent my birthday with him in a long time.”
In my previous life, there were foreign criminals approaching the New Year for several years, and the general went to the border every time he hadn’t passed for a year.
The last time I couldn’t come back…
Thinking of the scene in the previous life, Gu Wuyou, who was still bending his eyebrows, suddenly became silent.
Fifteen did not know what she was thinking, and seeing the pine nuts were gone, she squeaked softly, and shook her tail, as if to please her.
Gu Wuyou withdrew his mind from his thoughts and saw the childish face of Fifteen. He smiled and raised his hand to caress his head. Without saying anything, he continued to hand him the pine nuts.
On New Year’s Eve, no guests will come to the door. This is a day for family reunion.
According to the previous situation, the juniors always went to Mrs. Gu to talk and chat. For example, Fu Jiang and Liu clan would take care of the banquet at night. As for Gu Wuji and Gu Changyong, they would come over to greet him first, and then go. Take care of your own business.
The royal hunting has been confirmed a while ago.
This matter was entrusted by the Tian Family to Gu Wuji, so even Xie Mu, he was still busy for a while. On weekdays, he did not ask his subordinates to pay attention to the royal hunting matters, or let him Gu Changyong paid attention to the defense that day.
The third master Gu Changyong served as the commander of the imperial army to protect the emperor’s safety.
When Gu Wuyou passed by, Gu Wuji and Gu Changyong had just finished greeting Mrs. Gu. They were coming out from the inside. Seeing her going in, Gu Wuji stopped, raised their hands and touched her head. Days, the relationship between their father and daughter is getting closer.
“Manman gave the jade pendant and shoes, which my father likes very much.”
In fact, the new shoes are a bit awkward, but when Gu Wuji received them, he put them on without saying a word. He even changed his clothes specially to match the jade pendant.
Seeing that he liked it, Gu Wuyou’s eyes were bent into a crescent-like shape, and his voice was in a joyful tone, “Daddy likes it.” He glanced at Gu Changyong, who was looking down at her and smiling. Moments pleased someone to Ann and shouted: “Uncle San.”
Gu Changyong looks very similar to Gu Rong, and he smiled at this meeting: “In a blink of an eye, the man has grown up.”
Gu Wuji smiled, “Your second sister and the others are already there, go in and play with them.” Then he took Gu Changyong out.
Gu Wuyou walked into the house.
The earth dragon inside was so hot that she unbuttoned her cloak, and just turned the screen, she heard Gu Yu’s laughter from inside, “Brother, you lose, give money, give money!”
Then Gu Rong laughed helplessly, “You girl, you are not afraid that your mother will see you and say you are unruly.”
Xu Ye heard the footsteps, and Gu Rong raised his eyes and looked over. He gave birth to a pair of peach blossom eyes. When he saw people, he brought a kind of peach blossom love of three spring months, which was very similar to Zhao Chengyou. But Zhao Chengyou’s eyes are hot outside and cold inside. Even if he is smiling, it seems to be covered by a barrier. No one knows what the desire deep in his eyes is.
Gu Rong is not.
His smile is a real smile, like Jiyue Qingfeng, which makes people close and depend on.
Gu Rong looked at her and smiled, “Little Wu is here.”
Gu Yu was calculating the money for the leaf card, and when she heard this, she turned her head and looked over, and laughed: “You came just right, taking advantage of the third brother’s presence today, let’s win him more, just as our new year’s money. “
Gu Wuyou also laughed, “How can I not play leaf cards because my third brother is so smart?”
Every time I played leaf cards during the Chinese New Year, the third brother was the one who lost the most. At first, Gu Wuyou thought that the third brother had deliberately let them, but later, she knew that the third brother really couldn’t.
Looking at the two younger sisters, Gu Rong smiled more helplessly.
Gu Wuyou asked as he went to the table, “Where is the second sister?”
“I’m in the back room, with my grandmother.” This Gu Yu was sitting in the village. She was giving out the cards while biting her ears. “The Han family is here to deliver something.”
Well?
Han family?
Gu Wuyou was holding the card in one hand with some doubts in his eyes. After a while, he asked quietly, “Mr. Han’s house?”
Gu Yu nodded.
It stands to reason that these close families do have the habit of sending things at the beginning of the new year, but sending things over on New Year’s Eve has a different meaning. She heard that Mr. Han is pursuing the second sister…
“Actually, I think Mr. Han is pretty good.”
Gu Yu has already dealt the cards. While looking at his cards, he whispered: “He and the second sister are both in the college, and they know each other. The most important thing is that Mrs. Han has a good temper. If the second sister marries, , Will definitely be happy.”
Gu Wuyou thinks so too.
But before she could speak, she and Gu Yu suffered from Gu Rong’s thud. Although it was not heavy, it was still a little painful. Gu Wuyou pouted and covered his forehead with his hand, not very happy, “Brother, What are you doing!”
Gu Rong nodded the cards in his hand and said with a smile: “Play the cards well.”
Gu Yu also held his forehead and vomited: “No matter how hard you fight, you won’t win.” However, after all, I didn’t talk about this topic anymore.
Gu Rong looked at the two who bowed their heads and counted the cards, and looked over the fan into the back room, with a sense of sorrow in his eyes. This marriage is good, but the second sister will definitely not agree… Spring is about to return to the capital.
He couldn’t help sighing again.
Gu Jiufei was the latest to come here. He helped his mother to look at the ledger sent outside for a while, recalculated some figures, and after verifying that they were correct, he was sent to his mother… He saw one of his mothers when he was a child When a person counts on the account book until midnight, sometimes he wakes up as soon as he sleeps, and his mother is still calculating, and his eyes are red.
In fact, he always thought that his mother should marry a military commander like his aunt.
The sky is high and the sea is wide enough for the birds to pass.
Rather than being stuck in the yard where you entered, managing general affairs, but his mother liked it, he couldn’t say anything, he could only do his best to make people relax.
“Young Master Nine.” The maid wanted to step forward to help him untie his cloak.
Gu Jiufi shook his head, untied his cloak and handed it to him. Hearing the movement inside, he asked, “Three brothers are they all here?”
“It’s all here.” The maid took the cloak and said with a smile: “This will be playing the leaf card. The third young master and the fifth miss have lost a lot.”
Gu Jiufi nodded and didn’t say anything. There were still some immature teenagers with a quiet expression on their faces, and the steps under their feet were also very calm. Just when they hit the curtain, they saw Gu Wuyou sitting at a table.
Gu Yu and Gu Yu piled up a lot of money in front of them.
In contrast, Gu Rong and Gu Wuyou were empty in front of them, and there was a maid who specializes in bookkeeping next to them. At this time, they smiled and said, “The third young master owes five taels of silver, and the fifth young lady owes three taels.”
Gu Yu laughed when he heard this, “Did you just talk about the third brother?”
Gu Wuyou didn’t expect her card skills to be so bad. She blushed so badly, but she said unconvincedly: “Come again.” She didn’t believe that she was really so unlucky and lost everything.
The family played cards and didn’t care about the money. It was not even the time to eat at this meeting, so they were naturally happy to indulge her.
This is just Gu Yu’s turn to sit in the village.
She saw Gu Jiufei just after shuffling the cards and shouted with a smile, “Jiufei is here.”
Gu Jiufi nodded, walked in and shouted, “Second Sister, Third Brother, Fifth Sister, Seventh Sister.”
After each greeting, Gu Rong asked him, “Do you want to play with Brother Nine?”
Gu Jiufi shook his head, “No more.”
The maid brought a chair for him, and Gu Jiufi sat beside Gu Wuyou. Everyone didn’t care about him when they saw that he refused to go to the table. Gu Yu dealt the cards, and Gu Wuyou took her own cards. After playing for so long, she was a little dizzy, especially after losing so many times, she hesitated more about how these cards should be played.
Gu Yu urged her by the side.
Gu Wuyou gritted his teeth. Just about to play a card, he saw a hand stretched out beside him and pointed to one, “This.”
“Hey?”
Gu Wuyou was taken aback for a moment, and when she turned around, she saw Gu Jiufei, who was still looking blank. She had never seen Jiufei play cards. It should be said that she had never seen him participate in any activities at home. Although she was at odds with her family before. , But if the third brother is there, she will also play a leaf card or throw a pot or something.
But Jiu Fei has never participated.
Gu Jiufei didn’t say anything when she saw it, but looked at her calmly.
Gu Wuyou hesitated for a while, and still played the cards according to his wishes. The cards behind Gu Jiufei would be reminded whenever he hesitated when he saw her. After a few rounds, she let her win back all the losses.
Gu Yu felt a little unhappy when he saw this. “Nine brother, you are too partial, so why do you help Gu Wuyou?”
“Ha~”
Gu Wuyou was very happy, especially when he looked at the pile of money in front of him, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but raised. Hearing Gu Yu’s words, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: “He is my brother, of course he will help me.”
Gu Rong and Gu Yu looked at the sisters bickering, smiled and shook their heads.
Only Gu Jiufi looked a little startled after Gu Wuyou finished speaking… Brother?
This seems to be the first time she called him this way, using a proud, proud tone, and unabashedly swearing sovereignty with others.
Gu Jiufi couldn’t tell what kind of mood he was, but he felt that his heart was beating a little fast, and his fingertips couldn’t help but caress the jade pendant that Gu Wuyou sent here this morning. He heard Gu Wuyou’s voice in his ear. “Nine nonsense, you can help me see.”
It is already completely unconcealed to ask for foreign aid.
Gu Jiufi looked at her sparkling apricot eyes and didn’t think about it anymore, instead he stretched out a few cards, and he pursed his mouth when he saw the joy of someone winning.
Wait till dinner time.
A lot of money was already piled up in front of Gu Wuyou.
Mother Xie came in and called them to eat. When she saw this, she smiled and said, “How come Miss Fifth has won so much?”
Gu Yu pouted her mouth, still not very happy, “Which is she winning, obviously the ninth brother helped her.”
Gu Wuyou didn’t refute, but still with her eyes bent. She divided the money in front of her into four piles and smiled: “Okay, don’t you still make new year’s money for you?” Then she gave a pile to Gu Yu, a pile of money. I gave it to Gu Jiifei and a bunch of it to myself.
Another bunch-
He hid another purse.
Gu Rong looked at her and couldn’t help but smile, “Xiao Wu, why did you give yourself two bags? If you can’t fit it, you can give it to the third brother, and the third brother will help you get it.”
“No.” Gu Wuyou smiled and fastened the belt, then tied it around his waist. When he was going to see the general later, he would give him this bag of silver as his new year’s money.
Gu Rong tapped her head lightly, “It was the third brother who won, and he wouldn’t even give a penny, you little miser.”
It really is.
Today, Gu Rong loses alone. All three of them are winners. It’s just a matter of how much they won.
“Don’t give it.”
Gu Wuyou smiled and got off the table, dragged Gu Yu and walked outside. Gu Rong and Gu Yu followed behind. Gu Jiufi looked at the pile of money in front of him, thinking that Gu Wuyou had just said something to him. “This Give you New Year’s money”, he put the money in his purse after a while, and then got up and followed them out.
…
Dinner is eaten together.
Mrs. Gu sat in the main seat, and did not let Fu Jiang and Liu clan wait on her side. The family sat together. Because of the Chinese New Year, the rule of “don’t speak” was temporarily forgotten, and a group of people were lively. Noisy eating and talking.
Wait until dinner is over.
The elders continued to change places to drink and discuss matters. The juniors either continued to play leaf cards and pitchers, or went to the yard to watch the fireworks. But Gu Wuyou was going out today. Seeing that Dad and Uncle were going to drink in another place, they chased them out. Wuji said, “Daddy, I want to go out to watch the fireworks.”
“I heard that there will be beautiful fireworks on the East City Gate today.”
Gu Wuji stopped, and wondered: “Why do you want to see the fireworks?” After thinking about it, he said, “The snow has not melted outside. It is not convenient for you to go out. Dongcheng Gate is not far from our home. You are here. You can see it at home.”
On such days, he can’t worry about his daughter going out.
“No, I haven’t been to the East City Gate for several years.” Gu Wuyou took a man’s sleeve and acted like a baby.
“that–“
Gu Wuji hesitated for a while, “Daddy accompany you?”
Gu Wuyou was going to see Li Qinyuan, how could he let his father accompany him? Busily said, “You still have to discuss things with your third uncle. I’ll go out and have a look. If I don’t get out of the carriage, I’ll come back after a look. Okay?”
When hitting the youngest daughter, I never acted like this with him. Gu Wuji was reluctant to agree to it. He touched her head helplessly and relaxed, “Well, then you come back earlier. I will let you Changshan.” Uncle is with you.”
“Just let Uncle Changshan take a day off. I’ll let Bailu stay with him and come back after watching the fireworks.”
Gu Wuyou smiled, “When I come back, I will buy the almond tofu you like to eat for my dad, and then stay with my dad to keep the year old.”
When it comes to this, Gu Wuji is not good to say anything, so he can only tell Bai Lu, “Miss Haosheng, take care of her.” Then he said to Gu Wuyou, “Go in and talk to your grandmother, go early and return early.”
Gu Wuyou naturally has no reason to be unreasonable, “I know.”
After the two left, she went in and talked to her grandmother. Mrs. Gu didn’t stop her, but told her to come back earlier.
