After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

By the time he returned to the mansion from the street, the sky had completely darkened.

Although Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng's return was not widely publicized, they were not deliberately concealed either.

They also proceeded at a normal speed along the way, so their friends in the capital knew that the two of them had returned.

Before they entered the mansion, Shi Lan had already received several invitation letters in the mansion, inviting them to come to the mansion tomorrow.

Lu Nianyou also sent two copies in a row, making it clear that he wanted Su Xiaomu to go to her house first no matter what.

Gu Ruonan also returned to the mansion.

After she heard that Su Xiaomu and the others were coming back today, she kept coquettishly telling Gu Yiyi that she wanted to go home.

Gu Yiyi thought that Gu Ruonan was so obedient recently, and the third prince was too busy to take care of himself because of his Majesty's suspicion, so he probably didn't have time to look for the Gu family's bad luck, so he sent someone to send Gu Ruonan back home early in the morning.

Such a family reunion at night, Su Xiaomu saw that Gu Ruonan, who had not seen him for two months, grew taller, and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Look at our little girl. I haven't seen you for the past two months and she has grown a lot more beautiful. You are thinner than before, right? The waistline of this dress has grown so much. When I go shopping with my third aunt tomorrow, my third aunt will You buy some new clothes to wear."

Su Xiaomu didn't have any feelings for Gu Ruonan at first, and he didn't feel guilty at first.

After all, when she left, she found such a good support for Gu Ruonan, so that she didn't have to bear any wind and rain in the capital.

But I didn't expect that these were the psychological defenses she made for herself when she parted. Now that she saw Gu Ruonan again, Su Xiaomu's tears couldn't be held back, and they fell down with a splash.

"Why is the third aunt crying? I don't need you to buy me new clothes. These days at Aunt Gu's house, she bought me a lot of new clothes and jewelry. I can't finish wearing them now, and I can't even wear them." Finished, put everything in my dressing box."

Gu Ruonan raised her white and clean hands to wipe away the tears on Su Xiaomu's face, and said in the same crisp voice: "I always miss Third Aunt and Third Uncle, but Aunt Gu said that you are going to do big things. You can't ask me to write letters to disturb you, I'm afraid you will always think about things in the capital and do bad things, so you won't be able to come back soon, so I have been enduring it, and have been obediently learning the rules from Aunt Gu, and I haven't messed around at all."

"I know that our family Ruonan is a good boy, but the third aunt will also buy clothes for you. This is to reward you for being so obedient, and it is something you deserve."

Su Xiaomu also wiped away his tears, and said to Gu Ruonan with an extremely bright smile: "You go into the house first, I'll let Shi Lan wait for you to wash up, let's get up early tomorrow and go shopping in the street, and go to Fanlou for dinner at night. Third Aunt can order whatever you want, but don't be polite to Third Aunt."

"it is good."

Gu Ruonan gently tugged on Su Xiaomu's sleeve, and smiled back at her happily.

At night, Su Xiaomu slept with Gu Ruonan, seeing that the candles in the yard were still burning after she fell asleep.

Su Xiaomu put on his clothes and got up to go out to check. It turned out that Gu Jingcheng was still asleep.

Gu Jingcheng was sitting on a chair in the yard, holding a few freshly opened letters in his hand, looking seriously.

It's just that his brows were frowned, and his face was not very good-looking, so Su Xiaomu also knew that the contents of the letter might not be so pleasant.

"What's the matter? Could it be the third prince's side..."

Su Xiaomu put the cloak that she took out by the way on Gu Jingcheng's body, and she took hot water from the kitchen and poured him a cup of hot water to warm his body. Then she sat across from Gu Jingcheng and asked him: "Mrs. There, tell me, will there still be a struggle between the third prince and the family?"

The title of Marquis Wu Ding was obtained through shelter. He may have some skills in the first half of his life, but after the emperor cut off his wings in the second half of his life, he was just a meek and lame tiger outside.

If the third prince wants to take advantage of the family and still bears a grudge against Gu Jingcheng, Wu Dinghou is indeed a good candidate for him.

"I don't know. It's a coincidence that we are in a hurry. Three days later is the day when Shen Xiyan and Hasimu get married. There are rumors in the capital that His Majesty will personally appear at their wedding to bless them, and then issue an order Tell the world about the real candidate for the crown prince, if that's the case, the Marquis of Wuding's mansion will be nothing."

On the wedding three days later, there will inevitably be many things beyond their control.

"I thought they would get married again after a while. After all, this time the envoys from the Western Regions came here to offer the princess a marriage. It's just that the two of them just got a good look at each other, and that's what happened today."

When Su Xiaomu thought of Hasimu, and thought of Hasimu again, his mood was complicated.

"Then I will go to Mrs. Wu Dinghou tomorrow first, and then I will go to see Lou Qi with you. Since the rumors are already so, Lou Qi should have a countermeasure in order to prevent his sister's wedding from making a big mistake, and we just now Coming back, I'm not familiar with the affairs of the capital, mainly because I don't know why I always feel that the third prince will not let us go so easily."

Su Xiaomu was worried, and the expression on his face was not that pretty.

She said why didn't the third prince wear small shoes in Jiangnan City this time?

I thought it was the third prince who cared about the suffering of the common people, so he let them off once.

Su Xiaomu was still feeling emotional at that time, the third prince looked so vindictive, yet he still had a little love for the common people in his heart.

But he didn't expect that he was really targeted and lost his power in the capital for a while.

Speaking of the change in this matter, it all started when Gu Jingcheng went to Jiangnan City.

At first, Su Xiaomu thought that going to Jiangnan City was to be demoted and to endure hardship.

Thinking about it now, it was a kind of luck that kept them away from the right and wrong of the capital.

The two of them were sitting opposite each other in the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, both of them had a lot of unspeakable words in their hearts.

This night they spent the middle of the night together, until the cock crowed in the courtyard, Su Xiaomu went back to bed with swollen eyes.

Now I can fall asleep, but I have to get up and go out again soon.

Wudinghou Mansion.

Su Xiaomu followed the servant who led the way around the winding corridor, and walked for a while before arriving at Lu Nianyou's yard.

Lu Nianyou packed up early in the morning and waited for Su Xiaomu to come over. Seeing Su Xiaomu enter his yard, he immediately stood up and grabbed Su Xiaomu's hand. After exchanging pleasantries, he sat down with her and took the account books of Xiyue Pavilion these days first. Show it to Su Xiaomu.

"Our business in the past two months has been very good. Since we got the plaque bestowed by His Majesty, there are a lot of people visiting the shop every day. Ordinary people are the main force. Although they don't have extra money, they can enjoy other things in Xiyue Pavilion. service, but the ability to purchase rouge and gouache is unsurpassed.”
