Chapter 107 Favored by Mrs. Pei
She gently stroked Tu Suminyang's head, hurriedly folded the letter neatly, and hid it in her arms. Trying to maintain a calm demeanor, she asked, "Mother, did she say anything else?"
"I didn't mention much, just wanted you to rest assured that everything at home is fine."
The post station attendant wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "If the letter is correct, I will take my leave."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Gu Yuexuan personally saw him off to the door. After the other person's figure disappeared into the distance, she slowly turned around and squatted down.
The box was so huge that she could hardly close it with her arms, let alone lift it by herself.
Tu Suminyang tried to lend a hand, but to no avail. He lay on the box in distress, muttering to himself, "I really can't move it."
"It would be nice if my brother were home."
In his heart, his eldest brother is like his own brother, omnipotent.
If big brother were here, he could easily lift two boxes like this at a time!
Gu Yuexuan couldn't help laughing after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, she decided to seek help from others.
During this encounter, she saw that her parents' family had sent someone to deliver gifts, and Xi Lanfang and others hid in the house, avoiding her gaze, as if to avoid causing her unnecessary sensitivity.
However, the envelope in her arms was hot, and she didn't have anything private to hide from others this time.
She summoned Xi Lanfang and Li Shi, and they worked together to carry the heavy box into the stable. When she was about to open the lid, they turned and left.
"Mother-in-law, Third Aunt, please wait a moment."
Gu Yuexuan struggled to open the sealed box, sat on the small stool that Tu Suminyang had brought, and said, "The gifts Mother sent this time are quite generous, and there are also some for my brothers and sisters. You might as well take some back with you."
Xi Lanfang was slightly stunned, and then saw Gu Yuexuan constantly taking things out of the box.
There were small cotton-padded shoes that were not delicately crafted but very thick, as well as several small hats carefully sewn from sable skin and warm hand-protecting jackets, all of different sizes, and there were several of each.
Moreover, each item is labeled to indicate who it is for, making it clear at a glance.
"Grandma, these two little hats are for Minxu and Yunxi, and these two little jackets are also prepared for them."
"Aunt, this one is for Yan Ting."
"Minyang, this belongs to you and your brother. Take it to show your mother."
Tu Suminyang ran away quickly with the thick new clothes in his arms. Li was speechless for a moment: "I... I'm so sorry."
They were once the wives of prominent families, noble and arrogant, and rarely showed kindness to their servants.
If Tu Subo had not insisted on marrying Gu Yuexuan, even if they were in the same capital, they might never have known that the Gu family had a concubine named Aunt Xiao.
Even after learning about it later, no one, including Xi Lanfang, considered this insignificant concubine as a relative who could be accepted.
How can a concubine of low status who is not even allowed to enter the house be on equal footing with these wives who are born with noble status?
However, with the decline of Tu Su's family, all the friends and relatives who had been close to her and had made good friends with her had disappeared without a trace. The only one who still cared about the bitter cold land of Fangling was this person she had never met and who had once been despised...
The item in Xi Lanfang's hand seemed to be burning hot: "Xuanxuan, your mother's life in the mansion is also not easy. This..."
“No matter how difficult it was, didn’t we get through it?”
Gu Yuexuan was confused and said, "Although these gifts are not rare, they are all sincere gifts. Is there anything wrong with that?"
She gently tapped the exquisite little jacket in Xi Lanfang's hand, a mischievous smile flashing in her eyes: "Now that it has been delivered to your house, if mother-in-law doesn't accept it, where should this little piece of clothing be sent to?"
Those clothes were calculated for each head and tailored to the different body shapes of the children. They were obviously not prepared for her.
Xi Lanfang lowered her head with mixed feelings and said with emotion, "Your mother really took a lot of trouble."
"If there is an appropriate opportunity in the future, I will personally send Minxu and Yunxi to your residence to express my gratitude."
Gu Yuexuan gently tugged at the corner of her black jacket, her eyes lowered, a forced smile on her lips, and whispered, "Why are you being so polite, mother-in-law?"
If she really wanted to express her gratitude, she should express her gratitude to Tu Subo...
Aunt Xiao was thoughtful and not only prepared gifts carefully, but also took everyone into consideration, except that the number of adults was not as many as that of children.
Among them, the one who gained the most was naturally Gu Yuexuan, followed closely by Tu Subo, the future son-in-law, who had not yet had the opportunity to meet his mother-in-law.
Xi Lanfang and Li noticed that her expression was a little strange, and guessed that she might be missing her hometown, so they found an excuse to let her be alone.
When the door of the stable closed again, Gu Yuexuan took a deep breath and couldn't help but take out the letter paper she treasured.
In the letter, Aunt Xiao mentioned that the silver she had transferred through a reliable person had arrived safely, and she strictly ordered her not to do so again next time.
also……
She also revealed that shortly after receiving the silver, Mrs. Pei from the Fuguo Mansion came to visit her in person and made it clear that she only wanted to see her.
Mrs. Pei explained to Mrs. Gu that her young son could not rest day or night. After being advised by an expert, she needed to find a person with extraordinary destiny to sew a small quilt for him to comfort his soul, and Aunt Xiao was the person she was looking for.
Although the Gu family was also a prominent family, its reputation in Kyoto was far less than that of the Fuguo Mansion. Mrs. Pei simply asked a concubine to pray for her son and do some needlework, which naturally would not be rejected.
As a result, Mrs. Pei developed a liking for this inconspicuous concubine and sent her gifts from time to time, gradually improving Concubine Xiao's situation in the Gu family.
A concubine favored by Mrs. Pei, although her status is still insignificant, no one dares to look down on her from then on.
He could get medical treatment in time when he was sick, and there was endless charcoal fire when it was cold. Even his younger brother, who had always been neglected, was able to enter the Pei family's clan school for further studies, and was no longer confined to wasting time in that small courtyard.
Outsiders all said that Aunt Xiao suddenly gained the favor of a noble person, which was a rare ray of luck in her misfortune.
However, what is little known is that the young master of the Fuguo Mansion and Tu Subo had formed an indissoluble bond, trusting each other with their lives, and there was also the secret letter that Tu Subo had quietly sent along with the silver...
Such a long time passed, but Tu Subo never uttered a word to her.
Tu Subo...
Gu Yuexuan bit her lower lip tightly, carefully put the letter away, then turned her head to look at the quilts that were neatly folded against the wall, and an inexplicable feeling of congestion surged in her heart.
It's already the seventh day, why hasn't Tu Subo returned yet?
At the same time, in the snow-capped mountains and forests.
Tu Subo, hiding in the snow cave, couldn't help but shudder. Seeing this, Hu Hongsheng beside him smiled and joked, "Hey, is someone at home missing you?"
