Chapter 155 The Uninvited Guest

In that room, Duan Yi hummed a little tune, and arrived in front of Duan's house in two or three steps, feeling the weight behind her, she was so happy that she wished she could go to the wine shop and buy a pot of sake immediately.

As soon as she arrived at the door, Jiang's mother came out quickly, she seemed a little anxious.

"Why did Sanniang come back just now? The Gu family master came, and the old slave thought that your yard would not be tidied up for a while, and he would not be able to live in it, so he tidied up the Qinglinzhai in the front yard for Sanniang on his own initiative. "

"There is an open space in front, and green bamboos are planted in the yard, which is the same as Sanniang's before. It is also more convenient to enter and exit in the front yard. Zhiqiao picked up Zhilu and came back. Can Sanniang have dinner?"

"I asked the big kitchen to prepare wine and dishes, and the Gu family boss said that I would use it when San Niang came back."

Duan Yi was in a good mood, and nodded at Jiang's mother, "Mom is very well prepared."

Jiang's mother breathed a sigh of relief. She was in the house and heard Duan Yi's great achievements. It was spread all over the streets and alleys. She watched her grow up. Although she was a little at odds in the early years, she was not very close But at this moment, they are still honored.

Jiang's mother thought, and smiled, "Sanniang, people in Jincheng say that with Sanniang here, Jincheng will always be invincible. When Sanniang recruits a son-in-law, our Duan family's old house will It will prosper again..."

As she spoke, seeing Duan Yi's smile fade a little, she quickly patted her mouth, "It's the old servant who is talking too much."

"It's okay, mom used to only think that I could marry a rich man, but now she thinks that I can stand out and recruit a new husband, so I can impress mom. Has mom ever thought about getting a contract?"

Jiang's mother tightened her hand holding the lantern. Unlike the other servants, she has a family and a family in Jincheng, and she has managed the mansion here for many years, and has already earned enough money for the elderly.

In the past, the prime minister's mansion was noble, and there was nothing wrong with being a servant in front of the prime minister's door; but now the Duan family is in turmoil, and Duan Wenchang is in prison.

"What is Sanniang talking about..."

Duan Yi shook her head, "I may have to travel far in the near future, and I don't have any good things, so I will leave them to my mother. If you want to leave this mansion, come early tomorrow morning to find out the way, and she will give you the deeds."

Old Madam Duan left in a hurry, she only brought valuable things and the body deeds of those close to her, as for those who were left behind, they were all abandoned children.Those who belonged to them were also left behind.

Mother Jiang was overjoyed at first, but then she became melancholy, "It's messed up outside, where is San Niang going?"

Duan Yi smiled, "Going to repay the kindness of the old man, I don't know the date of return, I only talked to my mother about this, so don't say anything about it."

Jiang's mother nodded vigorously, not knowing what to say, she just held the lantern and headed towards the Qinglin Zhaixing with a little confusion.

Walking along this road, there are dead branches and fallen leaves everywhere, and even the house of this section of the family seems to be in decline. The scene of endless prosperity when Duan Wenchang entered Jincheng in the past is still in front of his eyes, and everything is already a human being. That's it.

Mama Jiang sighed a little, she secretly glanced at Duan Yi from the corner of her eye.

She was hugging a little fluffy animal, and she was carrying a big burden that was taller than others. Although it looked very weird, it was like a newborn bamboo shoot, and it was naturally rising.

"Qinglin Zhai has already arrived. Brother Mingrui is not an outsider, so he doesn't need to be served by his mother. You should think about it carefully when you go back."

When Jiang's mother heard Duan Yi's words, she blessed herself and left with a lantern in her hand.

Duan Yi didn't look at her, and walked straight into the yard. Once she came in, she couldn't laugh or cry, "What's the matter? Brother Mingrui, you can't move your house here. There's nowhere to set foot in the yard."

Hearing her voice, Gu Mingrui walked out quickly, smiled at Duan Yi, and pretended to reprimand him, "I've been waiting for a while, and it's not uncomfortable to wear a bloody suit? You should come back earlier to take a shower and change."

He said, looked at the boxes and cages in the yard, and said with some nostalgia, "I made an agreement with you when I was young. Every year on your birthday, every year and every festival, I will give you a gift. Aunt... Aunt doesn't care. You, my brother will stock up on your dowry."

"I don't know, it's been six years now... Now that I'm cured, I will make up for you. The other ones are given to you by my mother. They are all mountain goods. My uncle sent someone to send them. A good piece of leather, let Zhilu sew winter clothes for you."

"It's going to be cold this day. Although Jincheng is not as snow-sealed as Beidi, the cold wind is real."

Duan Yi laughed, "Then I've earned it. My brother will be seated first, and wait for me to change my clothes. Let's talk while eating."

Although she didn't remember, Zhilu once told her that Gu Mingrui would often secretly give her things when she was a child.

Gu Mingrui nodded and walked in quickly. Duan Yi stood in the yard and looked at him through the window.

He was wearing a blue robe, like a gentleman's bamboo... The wine was boiling on the small stove, he used a tong, picked up a few pickled plums, put them in, and concentrated on cooking the wine.

Duan Yi watched, her heart warmed, and she walked quickly to the side room, Zhilu had already prepared hot water and clean clothes.Afraid that Gu Mingrui would wait for a long time, Duan Yi quickly tidied herself up and walked towards the flower hall where guests were treated.

As soon as she entered the door, she smelled the delicious smell of mutton pot. Duan Yi sniffed, "I think I can eat a whole sheep by myself now."

Gu Mingrui smiled lightly, and put the blanched mutton into the small plate opposite him, "Why don't you hurry up and eat."

Duan Yi sat down without hesitation, picked up the meat, dipped it in the sauce, and stuffed it into her mouth contentedly.

The idea came to a new place, and it was running around the house.

Gu Mingrui saw that she was eating to her heart's content, so he scooped up the freshly scalded spoonful and gave it to her.

Duan Yi looked at it, took half of it back, and said with a smile, "I can't really ask me to eat a sheep by myself! Regarding the third prince and my grandfather, what plans does my grandfather have?"

"There are too many prisoners of war, and things will change after a long time. And with so many mouths, Jincheng can be eaten up even if they eat it. The news will soon spread to the capital, and I'm afraid it will cause waves."

Gu Mingrui frowned, and sighed softly, "There was a lot of quarrel over there. I changed my clothes and came here. Grandpa hasn't made up his mind yet. It looks like I might not be able to quarrel tonight." A result is coming."

Duan Yi understood.

"However..." Gu Mingrui paused for a moment, and then said, "You know my grandfather's temperament, he would rather point the guns of the Jiannan army at Tubo than at his own people."

"Duan Yi, I should have told you in advance that I have recovered. In this matter, my brother is always sorry for you. I have no brothers and sisters, and you are in my heart, just like my own sister. I don't want the relationship between us A rift arose."

Duan Yi picked up the jug, filled Gu Mingrui's wine, and then filled it up for herself. She picked up the wine cup and said, "You are in my heart, and you are also my real brother, do it!"

Gu Mingrui's eyes turned red, he picked up the wine cup and drank it down in one gulp.

　Xiao Duan Yi will soon embark on a new journey!Go out, travel far!The little furry machine says goodnight to you!
