Chapter 93 Married as a side concubine
At the end of April, the national mourning was over, and the capital, which had been calm and depressing for a long time, suddenly became bustling and lively. People who had been depressed for three months could no longer control their excitement when they stepped out of their homes. , Gathering and playing enthusiasm.

Lei Yingying was the first guest to come to the General's Mansion after the national funeral. She asked the accompanying servants to carry two baskets of early pears to find Lin Shuran in a hurry.

"But sister, I can go out to get some fresh air. You don't even know how I spent the past three months in the mansion!" Lei Yingying couldn't help complaining to Lin Shuran as soon as she met her, but soon she turned her face and smiled again. , pointing to the two baskets of early pears behind him and said, "This is a special product of early pears in Yunzhou. I know you like to eat pears, so I specially sent someone to send them from Yunzhou!"

Lin Shuran asked her to sit down and rest quickly, and asked the maid to serve a bowl of sweet fruit herbal tea, which made her feel much refreshed and refreshed.

"Your early pear is just right. I can add another fruit to my fruit herbal tea!" Lin Shuran took a special look at the early pear that Lei Yingying brought over. In fact, the one who really likes pears is the original Lin Shuran, and now her favorite fruit is peaches.

After finishing a bowl of fruit herbal tea, Lei Yingying unceremoniously ordered another bowl. She had also drank various cold drinks with ice in the summer before, but none of them could compare to the bowl she was drinking now The fruit herbal tea can relieve the heat and is surprisingly delicious, and the whole body feels comfortable after drinking it, without any discomfort stimulated by the cold air.

Seeing that Lei Yingying liked this fruit herbal tea so much, Lin Shuran said to write down the recipe for making the tea back to her. Lei Yingying nodded repeatedly, saying that even if she didn't intend to give it, she would have the cheek to ask for it.

As soon as the two friends met, they seemed to have endless topics to talk about. While talking, Lei Yingying looked at Lin Shuran and asked tentatively: "I heard that a few days ago, Mr. Gu, the son of the country, came to your house to offer wine. gone?"

Lin Shuran nodded, and seeing Lei Yingying's hesitant appearance, he said, "Yes, he came to tell me that he wanted my brother Sifan to go to the Imperial College to study. Why did he suddenly ask about Uncle Gu? What's the matter?"

"Just for this one thing?" Lei Yingying seemed puzzled, and then muttered to herself, "I thought it was for—" But for some reason, Lei Yingying suddenly stopped talking up.

At this moment, Lin Shuran also became suspicious and curious, looked at her and asked, "What do you think it is for?"

Lei Yingying sighed softly, anyway, even if she didn't tell Lin Shuran today, Lin Shuran would know soon, so she said: "You haven't been out during this period, so you may not have heard of some things in the mansion, besides It’s another national mourning period, so it’s not something good to say about it.”

The more Lei Yingying said this, the more Lin Shuran's curiosity was aroused, and she couldn't help asking: "Yingying, what happened?"

"Master Gu's daughter, Gu Xiruo, went to Prince Ling's mansion some time ago, and heard that something happened in the palace. Afterwards, Prince Ling's mansion gave the Gu family a betrothal gift, saying that the son of Prince Ling is going to marry Gu Xiruo as his side concubine. Good day It was set on the sixth day of May. Mr. Gu and his wife didn't seem to want to agree to this marriage, but Gu Xiruo wanted to get married wholeheartedly. I thought Mr. Gu wanted you to persuade Gu Xiruo, after all, before You—" Lei Yingying said with a wry smile.

Gu Jingcheng has been dead for more than three years, and Lin Shuran is also married now. Lei Yingying thinks that when talking about the Gu family, Lin Shuran may be able to accept it slowly. Since she has chosen to start a new life, she should learn to face the past. In Lei Yingying's mind, Lin Shuran has become stronger now.

Hearing the news from Lei Yingying, Lin Shuran was also very surprised. Although she knew that Gu Xiruo seemed to have had a deep misunderstanding of herself since Gu Jingcheng's death, she blamed Gu Jingcheng's death on herself, but she could I understand Gu Xiruo's grief of losing a loved one, so I don't really blame her in my heart.

In the memory of the past, Gu Xiruo has always been Gu Jingcheng's most beloved sister. At that time, Gu Xiruo was doted on by the whole family, kind and simple, but with Gu Jingcheng's death, many things and people are also in the process Changed with the passage of time.

Lei Yingying saw that Lin Shuran didn't talk to her, and the expression on her face was intriguing. It seemed that the Gu family could still influence her to some extent, so she said in a comforting tone: "This matter is a foregone conclusion. Even if the Gu family doesn't want to agree, I'm afraid It's not okay, I heard that Gu Xiruo is already the son of Prince Ling."

Lin Shuran's face showed consternation again. Gu Chang and his wife have always been well-behaved and polite, and the most important thing is their innocence. If Gu Xiruo lost her virginity before marriage, it must be a big blow to them. Xiruo didn't reveal anything about it, maybe he felt ashamed to tell the outside world.

"The road is chosen by the person. If she insists on entering Lingwang's mansion, no one can persuade her!" Lin Shuran also sighed softly. Now Gu Xiruo is no longer the innocent little girl three years ago. Most of them are resentment and unwillingness, and they just want to fly to the branches and become a phoenix.

Lei Yingying also nodded and said: "You're right, but the Ling Palace is not a good place to go now, the Concubine Su has passed away, and the queen has always regarded the Ling Palace as a thorn in the side, you don't know, in the palace At that time, the queen and the concubine of Prince Ling had a big fight, and a girl from the Gu family would suffer a lot of grievances if she entered Prince Ling's mansion."

Lin Shuran didn't know about these things that Lei Yingying said, she had never paid much attention to the affairs of the back house, but Lei Yingying knew much more about these things than she did.

Lin Shuran didn't express any opinions on Gu Xiruo's affairs. From her standpoint, the Gu family and she are strangers now, but in the eyes of everyone, she is a woman who is infatuated with Gu Jingcheng, and the relationship with the Gu family is natural. Not normal.

While the two were talking, Xu An asked someone to bring two baskets of Yunzhou early pears to Lin Shuran, and said that Xu Junze sent them to Lin Shuran. One of his lieutenants was from Yunzhou, and he brought some early pears for him when he returned home. he.

When Lei Yingying saw the two baskets of early pears, she deliberately teased Lin Shuran and said, "I don't know if General Xu really has a lieutenant general from Yunzhou. These early pears are not a real specialty of Yunzhou. Doesn't he know that you like it the most?" Eat pears?"

Lin Shuran smiled at her, and stared at the two baskets of early pears that Xu Junze sent in a daze. Xu Junze probably didn't know that Lin Shuran liked to eat pears before, right? !
