Chapter 37 The Lantern Festival

Lantern Festival?
The pen in Gu Xiujing's hand paused for a moment, and Jiang Luoqiao's smiling face appeared in front of her eyes.

He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't say anything to Gu's mother's stern eyes.

Gu's mother has a strong personality and acts resolutely.But the old man echoed what others said and was indecisive.

Since Gu Xiujing was young, mother Gu participated in any important decision.In the past, it was food, clothing, housing and transportation, but now it is a major matter of marriage.

The long-term oppression has made him habitually obey Gu's mother's decision.He hated himself for being cowardly but unable to change the status quo.

The only accident in his life was his relationship with Jiang Luo.

Gu Xiujing now has the idea of ​​rebelling with Gu's mother, but she doesn't have the courage and courage to say no to Gu's mother.He could only use silence to express his resistance to Gu's mother's decision.

But Mother Gu didn't say anything else, and left the study with the help of her servants.

When Gu's mother was no longer visible, Gu Yan hurried in.He took out the earring from his pocket, and asked Gu Xiujing how to deal with it.

"Put it away." Gu Xiujing picked up the pen and dipped some ink.Ever since Gu Yan came to the door for the first time, Jiang Changning turned a blind eye.

Gu Xiujing will prepare two copies of the contents in the box.

One carefully selected, one very casual.

The carefully selected ones were sent to Jiang Luo, and the pair of earrings played a role in making up the number after being returned by Jiang Changning at first.

They won't accept it anyway, so how can anyone know how many times this pair of earrings have been returned back and forth.

It can fool Gu's mother and save a lot of trouble, so why not do it.

On the [-]th, Lantern Festival.

It was not yet dark, but the entire capital was already buzzing with people.

All kinds of lanterns have been hung high, illuminating the ten-mile long street as bright as day.

The snack stalls were also set up early.

The delicate little wontons are rolled in the hot pot and are fragrant, and the clear silver noodles in the soup are sprinkled with a little chopped green onion to whet the appetite.

The skilled street vendors made lifelike little sugar figurines one by one.The sweet maltose is crystal clear and beautiful under the candlelight.

There are also bunches of candied haws, fresh and plump, wrapped in syrup, which makes the children salivate.At this time, the grown-ups would laugh and curse and take out a few copper coins from their waists to dismiss those naughty monkeys.

The young girls wear flowers and colorful clothes.Holding a delicate little lantern in her hand, her white and tender face blushed slightly, and she didn't know which lover she was waiting for.

The sons and daughters are also very handsome and handsome.

Hope to get the favor of some girl in this happy day.

The lively atmosphere outside also spread into Jiang's Mansion, where the door was closed.

As soon as Mother Jiang drank the soothing decoction, she heard the soft voices of the little maids on the porch outside the door.She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and asked unintentionally, "What's going on outside?"

"It's the Lantern Festival today, and the little girls couldn't hold back and said a few more words. Are you bothering you? Madam, wait a moment, the servants will go and teach them a lesson." Although the nanny said reproachful words, her footsteps But did not move.She gently pressed Mother Jiang's shoulders, with a gentle smile in her eyes.

Sure enough, Mother Jiang was not angry when she heard that, she waved her hand to signal the nanny not to reprimand them: "Forget it, there are not many times in a year, let them go." Ever since the last serious illness, Mother Jiang's spirit has been poor many.

After walking for a long time, my legs and feet become weak and out of breath, not to mention that I have nightmares when I close my eyes in recent days.

Only by using some soothing decoction can I sleep well for two hours.

The maids serving in the yard were about the same age as the girls in the house, and Jiang's mother was lenient, so naturally she could tolerate it a little.

Mammy pressed a cup of tea, and Mother Jiang let out a long breath.Only then did he feel his heavy body relax a little.

With a healthy body, she also has the energy to talk to Mammy a few more times.

Listening to the laughter of the little maid outside the door, Mother Jiang naturally thought of her children.

"Brother Bai hasn't returned home yet?"

"Yes, the Eldest Young Master has delivered the message back. There is a banquet in the palace today, and maybe he will rest in the palace after eating wine and not return home."

Jiang's mother nodded, Jiang Changbai has a stable temper and never needs to worry about himself.

"Did Luo'er and Sister Ning go out of the house?"

"No, are you going to call the girls over?"

Mother Jiang didn't answer, she looked at the swaying flower branches outside the window and answered Mammy's words: "Ah Luo, you don't need it, call Ning Jie over."

Jiang Changning came very quickly. She had just finished taking a bath, and her hair was still draped over her shoulders with moisture.

Jiang's mother hurriedly asked Jiang Changning to sit down, and asked Mammy to get a dry handkerchief to twist her hair.

"I'm about to marry into Gu's house, why are you still so reckless. The scholarly family has the most rules, how can you make me feel at ease like this?" Jiang's mother gave Jiang Changning a reproachful look: "How can there be an official lady who wears clothes? He ran out with his hair on."

Jiang Changning obediently admitted his mistake. Jiang's mother didn't really want to blame her, she just said a few words.

Mammy's hands and feet were quick and gentle, and she quickly wiped the water off Jiang Changning's hair.

She combed Jiang Changning's hair, and silently stood behind Jiang's mother.

"What's the point of a mother looking for her daughter?"

"Today is the Lantern Festival, if you have nothing to do, go out of the house and have a look."

Jiang Changning was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect to come up with such an answer.

She hid her surprise very well, raised her head and smiled at Mother Jiang and said, "My daughter is Xijing, she doesn't like to go out and walk around."

"What are you talking about?" Jiang's mother frowned, "You are young and you are enjoying a good time, so there is no one who doesn't like excitement. If you don't learn good things, you can learn from those old women who are dying. What do people do?"
