Splendid spring returns

Qiu Ling nodded, thought for a while and then said: "But Mr. Zhang has been here several times these days. Isn't this... a bit too frequent? What if I meet someone?"

"How can it be such a coincidence? Besides, it's dark at night. Zhang Lang knows kung fu and is familiar with the house. Even if he meets someone, he can't hide in time." Aunt Qiu didn't take it seriously. She thought about it and smiled: "Besides, he comes more frequently. , isn’t it good? Doesn’t the fact that he is more and more diligent means that he is greedy for our bodies? Although they say that infatuated women are heartless, but there are also men who, once they are fascinated by a woman, cannot let her go. "

"Amitabha!" Qiu Ling clasped her palms together and prayed: "I hope my aunt and I can have good luck and meet our beloved, and it will be in vain that you have kept this empty room in the house for a long time."

"Who says it isn't? Speaking of which, you are also lucky. Otherwise, look at the Guizhi beside grandma. I heard that he followed the Tian family to guard the mausoleum. The lame man insisted that he was her master. He was punched and kicked every day, and now he is I’ve been tortured to the point of dementia, and I’m afraid I’ll only have to endure it for another three to five years at most.”

"It's not that the slave said bad things about her behind her back. That Guizhi followed grandma with the same heart as a snake and a scorpion. She was the one who provoked grandma into many things. It ended like this. She is not unfair at all."

"Who says it's not? Well, after all, it's a matter in the yard. Now that even grandma can't be saved, why should we still take it to heart? Instead, we should seriously think about what to wear for the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner tomorrow."

"Yes. I think the lake green jacket that my aunt made a few days ago is just right. It matches your skin tone very well..."

The master and the servant walked away while laughing.The sun sets in the west, shrouding Liao's courtyard in the afterglow. The scenery everywhere remains the same, but there is no longer the joy and laughter of the past.

******************
"The suit our ancestors are wearing today is really nice. It looks particularly energetic. Is this Xiuyue's craftsmanship? You, Shouning Palace, think of her as doing a good job in needlework."

"Hahaha! It's not that good, but I like this child's work, and this set was not made by her. As soon as it was made, I fell in love with it at first glance, and told me to keep it for me to wear during the Mid-Autumn Festival. "

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, soon after the sun disappeared behind the mountains, it gradually became dark.

It was the time when the lanterns were first turned on, and the lights in Shouning Palace were brightly lit. Several old ladies from the palace gathered in front of the old concubine, chatting and laughing. In the midst of the excitement, I heard the girl outside the door shout loudly: "My aunt and Lady Yao are here."

Before she finished speaking, Gu Yunxian walked in like a gust of wind. She was dressed very luxuriously. With her good-looking face and the honorable temperament she had cultivated since childhood, she was really graceful and elegant.

Behind her was Yao Yutong, who was wearing a moon-white brocade jacket and a dark blue pleated skirt. Compared with Gu Yunxian, she had another very light and elegant style. The two of them stood in front of the old concubine. Just in line with the saying: Spring orchids, autumn chrysanthemums, each has its own victory.

"Old Ancestor, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the house has not had a good time for a long time. Today, taking advantage of the reunion festival, we are going to have a lot of fun."

Gu Yunxian sat next to the old concubine, and the servants quickly moved a stool for Yao Yutong to sit on the other side.Here the old lady smiled at Gu Yunxian and said: "You have been so busy these days that you are more energetic. Look at your face. It is much more radiant than when you just came back." Gu Yunxian said He rested his head on the old concubine's shoulder and said softly: "What else don't you know, ancestors? The difficulty of being a wife is nothing compared to the freedom of being at home. Now that I have been raised at home for so many days, it is not just Raised."

The old concubine was silent for a while, and then said with a faint smile: "Although I say so, as the saying goes, a married daughter throws away the water. There is no reason why a married girl always relies on her parents' family."

Gu Yunxian's expression changed slightly, and he hugged the old concubine's arm and said with a sweet smile: "My ancestors just love me. There are so many unreasonable things in the world, how many people have the heart to meddle in other people's business? Not to mention me. Although I got married and my parents are gone now, my brother is Prince Duan, and no one in the capital doesn’t know what he is capable of. So what if I live in his house? If my brother doesn’t speak, is there anyone who is full and full? Is he aggrieved?"

After speaking, she lightly glanced at an old nanny, who then smiled and said: "Auntie Zhenzhen is a capable person. Since the concubine left, Aunt Xin went to Qingliang Pavilion again. Fortunately, this stall in the mansion has My aunt took care of me, otherwise I don’t know what kind of chaos it would be. After all, she is her own family, and she is considerate in her use. Although grandma can also do it, she may be too sad because of the incident with the concubine, and she has not recovered until now. Qianer heard I'm sick again, I'm afraid I won't even be able to attend this family dinner."

Gu Yunxian curled his lips and said leisurely: "It's not like she can't come. Everyone knows that physical illnesses are easy to cure, but mental illnesses are difficult to cure. My mother spoiled Jiaru in the past, and she behaved a bit arrogantly. Now that my mother is gone, I don’t know when her illness will end.”

The old concubine frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.Suddenly I heard the girl outside shouting again: "Aunt Xin, Aunt Gu, the second young master, the third young master, the sixth young master and the fourth girl are here."

Yao Yutong smiled slightly, stood up and prepared to greet each other, while saying: "They are really good friends now, and they even act in unison."

Gu Yunxian also smiled and said: "Isn't it true? It's a blessing that these two people came here and actually brought half of the palace with them."

Everyone didn't understand what he meant, and neither did the old concubine. Gu Yunxian clapped his hands and explained with a smile: "The second young master, the third young master, the sixth young master, and the fourth young lady, if you count, not nearly half of the children of Changting are here. ."

Only then did everyone understand and couldn't help but laugh.Seeing Aunt Xin Niangu come in with a few children, she first greeted the old concubine, and then heard Gu Yunxian smile and say: "Although Qingliang Pavilion is remote, you ladies have nothing to do, and you arrived later than us. , this is outrageous. Tell me, how many drinks will you have to punish yourself later? "

This question was really a smile hiding a knife. Aunt Gu suddenly became a little nervous, but she saw Xin Nian smile slightly and said calmly: "Isn't it because I know that my aunt likes to be lively. On such a day, you must have come here early, then we still have Why are you worried? Naturally, I’ll pack up and come back.”

After saying that, he looked outside the door and said with concern: "Yes, when I came in, I saw my cousin outside, accompanied by a girl looking at chrysanthemums. She was a little lonely. Why didn't my aunt bring her in?"

Aunt Gu almost didn't laugh out loud, she hurriedly lowered her head to cover it up, and said to herself: This is when you meet an opponent in chess and you meet a good talent.My aunt preemptively launched an attack to accuse her, but Sister Xin lightly blocked it and even made a few excuses in secret. I just thought that would be the end of it, but I never imagined that the real knife was behind me.The cousin girl was supposed to be raised in the Duke Anguo's palace, and her aunt was going to live in the palace for a long time. However, this daughter always reminded her that she was an outsider, so she was rarely brought out.Today, she had no choice but refused to let her in to pay her respects to her ancestors. As a result, Sister Xin exposed her with just one word, and she felt angry for some reason.
