Madam, Master Xie Jiabiao and Master Su Jiabiao have come to greet you and are outside the door.

Invite them to come in.

Xie Shi was cheerful and seemed very happy.

The maid bowed to take orders and turned to go out.

Soon, two young men walked in.

I saw the young man on the left, dressed in fancy clothes, suave, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face, but he was slightly greasy.

This is Xie Xian, the son of the Xie family.

The one on the right, wearing a white-washed gown, was thin, tall and straight, with a clean temperament, and faced everyone's gaze calmly.

No need to guess, this person is Su Zheng, the son of the Su family.

Xie Xian said, Meet my aunt!

Su Zheng said, Meet your madam!

Xie Shi smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, Alright, take a seat and serve tea.

I have long heard that the Su family is down and out, and one year is not as good as one year.

Seeing it with my own eyes today, Shi Xie seemed to be drinking a bowl of iced sour plum soup in dog days.

The more desolate the Su family, the better, so as to bring out her blessings. She is the Zhuankesu family.

Sanlang, second girl, come and see the young master of the Su family. My cousin, you can't be alienated just because you live far away.

Xie Shi smiled and looked kind.

Gu Jiu knew exactly what kind of thoughts were hidden in his heart.

It was nothing more than wanting to attack her and Gu Jun.

Look, my mother-in-law's family is so poor, what can you two brothers and sisters rely on?

By the way, let's set off the wealth of the Xie family and bring down Su Zheng's face.

I have seen cousin Su, thank you cousin.

Gu Jiu stood up and was generous. It's just a sick face, looking very weak.

Su Zheng's eyes were calm, and he looked at Gu Jiu more, Cousin is polite! Is your cousin sick?

Gu Jiu smiled lightly, Thank you cousin for your concern,

Taking medicine is much better.

That's good! Su Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Xian squinted his eyes, glanced at the Gu Jiu brothers and sisters, and said aloud, Father asked me to greet my aunt, how is my aunt?

Xie Shi smiled and said, Your father has a heart, and I am in good health. Yue'er, Shan'er, this is your cousin Xie Xian.

Gu Yue raised her brows and laughed, Cousin Xie came to the door for the first time, do you have a greeting?

You child, how did you talk?

Although Xie scolded, there was a smile in his eyes. The family doesn't need to see outsiders, they can joke around casually.

Xie Xian smiled and said, Of course I brought a gift.

Gu Yue became happy, I have seen my cousin!

Gu Shan was polite, followed Gu Yue, greeted Xie Xian, and blessed Su Zheng Wei.

Su Zheng returned a salute.

Xie Xian was very good at chatting, and a few words made Xie laugh, and the atmosphere in the room became lively.

All of a sudden it brought out the embarrassment of Gu Jiu, Gu Jun, and Su Zheng. The three of them are outsiders, redundant.

Gu Jiu and Su Zheng were quite calm.

Gu Jun, on the other hand, seemed very uncomfortable, and found an opportunity to interject, Madam, I'll take cousin Su to settle down.

Xie's expression was indifferent, It's time to settle down earlier. Saburo, you take Master Su down, don't neglect the guests.

Su Zheng stood up, Thank you madam. Come back another day to say hello to madam.

Young Master Su is very polite. Xie's face was full of smiles.

Gu Jun couldn't wait to leave Shangfang.

Gu Jiu also took the opportunity to leave.

Xie Shi didn't keep her, and only warned her two words, Second girl, if you're sick, don't go out next time. If your condition worsens, Master should blame me for not taking good care of you.

Thank you for your concern, my wife. I will definitely take care of my body and live up to my wife's wishes.

Xie waved his hand, Go down! If you have anything, just ask someone to come and say it.

I listened to my wife.

Gu Jiu took the maids out of the upper room.

Passing the garden, Gu Jiu suddenly stopped.

She looked back at Jiang Yan, What's your name?

Slave Jiang Yan has seen the girl.

Gu Jiu nodded, I'll call you Yanzi from now on. Xiaocui, take Yanzi back to Zhilan Courtyard to settle down. Qingmei and Qingzhu follow me around.

The sun is shining, is it okay for the girl's body? Qingmei asked with concern.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, It's fine. It's been a long time since I went out. While you're in good spirits today, you can play with me.

Yes!

Gu Jiu walked through the garden with green plum and green bamboo, and came to sit down at the pavilion in the atrium.

Qingmei and Qingzhu only sat down and rested when Gu Jiu was tired from walking.

But he didn't know that Gu Jiu came here on purpose to wait for someone.

Before the new year, the father and son of the Xie family suddenly came to the door, there must be something wrong.

Gu Jiu felt a little uneasy in her heart.

The maids around her couldn't find any news outside the inner courtyard.

On brother Gu Jun's side, except for Li Chuan, who is quite clever, the other servants are not to mention.

After thinking about it, Gu Jiu decided to cooperate with Cousin Su.

With just one side, she knew that Cousin Su had a clear mind.

Many words do not need to be said, he can understand her meaning.

Given the conflict between the Su family and the Xie family, Cousin Su also wanted to know why the father and son of the Xie family suddenly came to the door.

However, if you want Cousin Su to help you find out the news, you must first give Cousin Su a chance to get close to the Xie family.

After Gu Jiu sat down for a while, a young man walked into the atrium.

Gu Jiu stood up, I have seen the fourth brother.

The fourth brother in Gu Jiu's mouth was named Gu Yu, the elder brother of the same clan.

Master Gu was sent to Jinzhou to serve as a governor, and it was natural to promote the children of his own clan.

Gu Yu is more promising in the family, and people are also motivated.

When Master Gu took office, he took him with him to cultivate.

Gu Yu looked at Gu Jiu in surprise, So it's the second sister. The second sister is in good health?

Gu Jiu smiled weakly, Thank you fourth brother for your concern, it's much better.

Second sister will take good care of her body. If there is nothing else, I will leave first.

Gu Jiu said, I want to ask fourth brother for something.

Gu Yu's face was calm, Second sister, please tell me. Those who can help will definitely help.

Gu Jiu's brows twitched and he laughed, Thank you fourth brother. The cousin of the Su family came to the door, but he has not settled down yet. Can you ask the fourth brother to settle the cousin of the Su family in the courtyard next to the father and son of the Xie family?

That's it?

Gu Jiu nodded, I trouble fourth brother.

Gu Yu said: I will arrange this little thing. Second sister's health is important, the sun is shining, go back first.

Thank you fourth brother for your concern, I'll go back in a while.

Gu Yu looked at Gu Jiu with a pair of eyes, and then left.

When they were far away, Qingmei said, Did the girl come here on purpose to wait for Master Gu Yu?

Gu Jiu smiled, neither saying yes nor no.

Let's go! Follow me to see the third young master.

Won't the girl go back?

Gu Jiu smiled and said, Cousin is definitely still at my brother's place. I'll go over and talk.

After speaking, Gu Jiu lifted the hem of her skirt, walked down the pavilion, and walked towards the courtyard where Gu Jun lived.

...

Brother, cousin Su, what are you talking about? When I was at the gate of the courtyard, I heard my brother's loud voice.

Gu Jiu walked into the room with a smile.

Sister, why are you here. The sun is so big, can your body bear it?

Gu Jiu smiled softly, Brother, don't worry about me. I neglected Cousin Su in the previous room, please forgive me.

Su Zheng said, Cousin Xiaojiu is polite.

Gu Jiu sat down on the chair.

Qingmei brought her a cup of hot water.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, Have you not asked your uncle and aunt, how are they?

Su Zheng's expression was light, Thank you cousin for your concern, everyone in the family is fine.

Gu Jiu's expression was sad, A few years ago, my grandfather passed away. At that time, my brother and I were both young, and we couldn't help ourselves, so we couldn't worship my grandfather's spirit. It was really unfilial.

Su Zheng said calmly, Cousin Xiaojiu, don't blame yourself, we all understand your difficulties.

It's a pity that the situation at home is not very good, so I can't help my cousin. Just don't blame us.

Gu Jiu said in a sincere tone: These years, aunts and uncles have worked hard.

Su Zheng smiled, It's not hard work! It's your cousin, it's not easy for you to make a living under Mrs. Xie.

Gu Jiu nodded, Actually, it's not easy for everyone.

After a pause, Gu Jiu asked the question she had always cared about: Cousin, did you come to Jinzhou on purpose this time?
