Chapter 237 Tear off a white lotus (7)
That child...is talking about Xuanyin!
Judging from Mrs. Guo's tone, it seems that the relationship with Xuanyin is not very good. Last time Mrs. Guo said that Xuanyin never kowtowed to her, she thought it was a joke. Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it is true.
But why? Xuan Yin is not like a person with a tune, when he gets along with the old concubine and Lin Lanzhi, he is very filial, why is the whole state wrong when he arrives at Guo's house?
Ning Yue couldn't figure it out, and she couldn't ask blatantly.
At this time, Mother Cui opened the curtain and came in, and said a few words in Mrs. Guo's ear. Mrs. Guo's eyes lit up: "Are you really going out?"
"I'm going out, I'm going this way." Mother Cui said.
Mrs. Guo held Ning Yue's hand more and more affectionately: "I knew you would come, and he will take care of it!"
This Ning Yue understands, and the old lady Guo asked her to come to the mansion just to be a bait to lure Xuanyin into the bait? Ning Yue couldn't laugh or cry.
Old Madam Guo said again: "Last time, it was the first time in so many years that he congratulated me on my birthday."
Ning Yue blinked thoughtfully, guessing that the relationship between Xuanyin and the Guo family might not be very good, but she didn't guess that it was so bad! Even congratulating grandma on her birthday was only done once, and it was... on the day she also came.
Soon, Ning Yue understood the real reason why Mrs. Guo didn't have a big birthday banquet. It wasn't because she was afraid that the national war would be imminent and it would be inconvenient to have fun, but because she didn't want to invite too many irrelevant people and make Xuan Yin feel disgusted. She posted a message to Ma's family with the same purpose as today, when she comes, Xuanyin also comes. In order to meet her grandson, Mrs. Guo racked her brains to such an extent... Ning Yue didn't even know what to say.
I don't know what came to mind, Mrs. Guo snorted: "To be honest, I was happy last time to see Xiao Yin, otherwise, based on the things your second sister caused, I really want to fork her out !"
Ning Yue burst out laughing.
Old Madam Guo quickly covered her mouth, and soon couldn't help laughing.
After that, Mrs. Guo asked someone to bring a dowry box: "Open it and have a look."
Ning Yue opened it and saw that it was dazzling: "This is..."
Old Madam Guo smiled and said, "Do you like it?"
"Give it to me?" Ning Yue asked in amazement, this box of jewelry is worth at least a thousand taels of gold, and she hasn't been married yet, so she definitely can't accept such an expensive gift!
Mrs. Guo couldn't see Ning Yue's thoughts, but things are dead and people are alive. After confirming that Ning Yue is the only bridge for her to see Xuan Yin, let alone a box of jewelry, a hundred boxes of her I'm willing too! The old lady Guo stuffed the box into Ning Yue's arms, and said angrily, "If you give it to you, you can keep it! It's so easy to take back the things from the princess and my daughter-in-law, and the mother-in-law will take mine?"
This is different!
Last time, Sakura's pet broke her necklace and apologized to her. Mrs. Guo and Princess Wang gave her something. By the way, they also gave some to Ning Xi and Ning Wan. But this time—
"Take it, keep it, if Xiaoyin knows that I let you go for nothing, he will call me stingy!" Mrs. Guo handed the dowry box to Dongmei without rejection, "Help your lady take it away." it is good."
Dongmei bowed: "Yes."
Ning Yue found it strange, the old concubine lived in Ding County, and Xuanyin would visit her occasionally, while the old lady Guo lived in the capital, but Xuanyin hadn't come for more than ten years. Ning Yue thought of the pavilion where Xuanyin stared in a daze, wondering if there was any connection between them.
Ning Yue waited at Guo's house until dark, and had dinner with Mrs. Guo, Princess Fuyuan and Guo Zhongxun, until she put down her chopsticks, but she didn't see Xuanyin coming.
