Before Gu Yi insisted on being betrothed to Song Wan Yue, Master Gu sent someone to check the Song family, but failed to find out that the Song family had a connection with someone who knew the art of healing.
“It should be untaught, the Song family’s little girl seems very spiritual.”
Gu Hui didn’t say much, she covered her mouth and smiled, “It seems that little brother really has a good eye, Miss Song is so adept in the art of medicine at such a young age, in time, won’t she be famous all over the world?”
Master Gu paused for a moment, his brow frowning slightly, “You can’t be right? The Song family’s little girl doesn’t look like a flashy one.”
“It has nothing to do with being ostentatious, Miss Song is a warm-hearted person, she would not care if she came across someone who needed saving? One way or another the reputation will spread.”
Master Gu didn’t say anything, stroking his beard and wondering what he was thinking.
Madam Gu also had a stony face.
Gu Hui picked up her tea and slowly took a sip, something flashed extremely quickly in her eyes, and in an instant she was calm again.
“Young master is back.”
The maid’s voice was heard at the door.
The crowd’s thoughts returned, and Gu Hui also put down her tea and looked towards the door with a smile.
Gu Yi walked in cheerfully, “Father, mother, big sister and second sister.”
“What is it that makes little brother so happy?”
Gu Hui asked with an impassive smile.
Gu Yi sat down on the chair beside her, “Little girl said she wants me to follow my parents to her house tomorrow.”
“All go? Then can second sister and I go along too?”
“Yes, can second sister go along?” Gu Wen asked with a smile as well.
She was very curious about Song Wangyue and couldn’t wait to see what kind of little girl she really was.
“What’s the point of you two following and causing trouble? We are going to change the gengtong tomorrow.”
Madam Gu, who had not spoken up, disagreed.
If she wanted to see Song Wangyue, she could just come over, what was the point of having the whole family go to the house?
“I’m not curious, what kind of little girl can charm my little brother like this? Mother, don’t worry, we won’t go for nothing, we’ll give gifts.”
“For what?”
Gu Yi asked with his eyes dripping.
Gu Wen just said so casually, what to give she hadn’t thought of yet, and was instantly stumped by the question.
Gu Hui smiled and answered, “What does little brother want us to give?”
“Give silver tickets, a thousand taels for each person.”
Gu Hui and Gu Wen, ……
Gu Wen rubbed her stomach and laughed, “Little brother, you’re turning your elbows out too far, we’re your own sisters, how can you screw your sisters like that?”
“A thousand taels of silver is a piece of cake for you, it’s different for the little girl, with this silver, she won’t have to pawn the ancestral jade bracelet given by our family if anything happens in the future.”
Gu Wen, ……
Thinking that Master Gu was called to the magistrate’s office all because the little girl of the Song family pawned the jade bracelet to get into trouble, she smiled and responded, “Okay, a thousand taels for a thousand taels, I’ll give it.”
“Still second sister is quick.”
Gu Hui tapped her finger on his forehead, “Big sister is not so cool?”
“Big sister is also quick, so you should prepare the silver tickets early and give them to the little girl when you go tomorrow.”
Gu Hui feigned a sigh, “It’s not easy for us to see our future brother-in-law and bleed so much.”
Gu Yi’s eyes rolled around a few more times, “Eldest sister and second sister, you don’t know, little girl is a delicious cook. She did all the cooking when we were in Fu Cheng, I gained a few pounds, especially the snacks she made, they are simply not available in this world, do you guys want to try them?”
“Yes, let’s get some of little brother’s glory too.”
Gu Yi extended his hand towards the two, “Another thousand taels each.”
Gu Hui and Gu Wen, ……
……
Into the night.
This is the courtyard where she used to live before she left the palace. All the furnishings inside and outside the house are untouched and exactly the same as before.
When she thought of how Gu Yi had given her and her elder sister the silver they had asked for today, Gu Wen could not help but laugh out loud.
“Madam is thinking of the little young master, right?”
The personal maid was a companion of the Gu family and grew up with this Gu Wen, so she knew her mind very well.
“Yes, I didn’t expect the youngest brother to like Miss Song so much.”
The personal maid also laughed along, she was guarding outside the flower hall at that time, naturally she also heard Gu Yi’s words, “Miss Song is pretty, she can heal, and she can cook, not to mention the young master, even the servant girl liked it when she heard it.”
“What are you talking about, so happy?”
The door was pushed open and Gu Hui walked in with her maid.
“Big sister.”
Gu Wen’s smile was still on her face, “Talking about little brother. Big sister is still up so late?”
“I was going to rest, but I thought of you getting older in months, you need to take more supplements, so I asked the kitchen to cook bird’s nest for you.”
“Thank you, Big Sister.”
“Our own sisters, what’s the point of being polite.”
Gu Hui gestured for her maid to put the bird’s nest on the table, waved her hand for Gu Wen’s maid to retreat as well, sat at the table and watched Gu Wen eat all the bird’s nest before getting up, “You should rest early, tomorrow if you can’t get up, you can go to the Song family a little later, the baby in your belly is important.”
“It’s still Big Sister who loves me.”
……
The following day, the Gu family got up as usual, even Gu Wen did not sleep, ate breakfast, sat in the flower hall and talked for a while, and waited until the hour to get on the carriage to go to the Song family.
Master Gu and Madam Gu had a carriage, Gu Yi had a carriage, and Gu Hui and Gu Wen had one.
Gu Hui had long since seen through Gu Yi’s small mind and smiled as she said to Gu Wen, “Little brother is planning not to follow us back.”
Gu Wen also laughed, “Little brother likes Miss Song so much that he may have to grow up in the Song family in the future. Father and mother must not be feeling well in their hearts.”
“That’s not necessarily true, little brother has a lot of eyes now, he might abduct Miss Song to our house every day, and dad and mom will be overjoyed.”
As soon as the three carriages entered the village, the people of the village saw them and followed behind them.
Xiao Si opened the box he kept beside him and grabbed a handful of candies and scattered them. These candies were supposed to be scattered yesterday, but the young master was suddenly taken away by the magistrates and did not make it, so the young master instructed that they should start scattering them as soon as they entered the village today.
The people behind the carriage grabbed them in a flurry.
Song Ming saw it from afar and spat twice towards the carriage. Seeing his daughter-in-law cleaning up on the side, he took his anger out on her, “Just the money loser you gave birth to, it’s been months and not a single coin has come back.”
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law just ignored him and did what she had to do.
Song Ming spat twice more in the direction of the carriage and turned to go into the house.
The carriage made its way to the entrance of the Song family.
The Song family had been waiting for them for a long time and when they heard the commotion, they all came out to welcome them.
Master Gu said smilingly as he got off the carriage, “My two daughters have come back for Yi’er’s engagement, they want to meet Yue’er so much that I brought them here.
“No, I don’t mind.”
Song Lin said busily, gesturing for Song Wan Yue to go and welcome her.
Gu Hui had already gotten off the carriage and turned to help Gu Wen, “Slow down.”
Gu Wen put her hand on hers and was about to get off the carriage when her face suddenly changed, followed by large beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
“I, my stomach hurts!”
