Chapter 31: The Game

The carriage slowly stopped at the side gate of Dingguo Mansion, Mo Lan was already standing by the side of the car, placed the pedals, stepped forward and tapped the curtain lightly, and said with a smile on the corner of her lips: "It's here, wife, girl." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Xie Shi said "um" slightly, then stretched out his hand and got out of the car supported by Mo Lan, Gu Yanling followed closely behind, just stood up, smoothed his dress, but heard the sound of clothes squirming not far away, and when he heard the sound, it seemed that it was Gu Jingzhi, the third master of Dingguo Mansion, who was talking to a man of about twenty-three or four at the moment and saying something, then folded a fan, and got into the carriage with a smile.

The carriage went against the light, but Gu Yanling stared at the carriage and did not move, and then a hint of intriguing smile appeared on the corner of his lips. The person next to Gu Jingzhi, although her figure was blurred against the light, she would never admit her mistake.

At this time, Mo Lan's whisper came from his ears: "With the third master, it seems to be the second master's little uncle." ”

Gu Yanling laughed even deeper when he heard this, not seemingly, but for sure.

Xie Shi's brows furrowed slightly, although his face was not revealed, but there was a little disdain in his eyes, and he said indifferently: "Let's go." ”

After finishing speaking, Xie Shi turned away, Gu Yanling retracted his gaze and followed, but the smile on his lips did not decrease.

If her third uncle is said to be the most idle person in the house, he can't find a second one who can compare with him, holding idle jobs every day, everyone else at home is a beautiful wife and concubine, and as soon as he comes home, it will be the quarrel of the Qin family.

The Qin family has always liked to compete for face, but his mother's family can't compare with the first two concubines, and her husband can't compare with the youngest fourth lady Yuan. Therefore, he dislikes this and that every day, and Gu Jingzhi is a greedy and pure, leisurely person, who doesn't like to quarrel with people, especially women, so he completely ignores it, and only scolds angrily when he is in a hurry.

The funniest thing is that there are two concubines in the three rooms, and they are all Qin's former dowry girls, and other people's concubines are their own masters, and his third uncle is more like Qin's great mercy and great mercy, and other people's concubines are all delicate like flowers, with red sleeves and fragrance, and they are empathetic, but the third uncle's concubine can be regarded as a beautiful and honest person after breaking the sky, and only Qin's wife is the first to look forward.

In fact, the longer he was oppressed, the more fierce the resistance became, so the third uncle, who had a dull life and didn't do anything big, did a big thing and almost took a break from the Qin family.

But what to do, she suddenly wanted to let this happen sooner and make this matter bigger. It's best to be able to pick a second room......

After returning to his own Liuli Courtyard, Gu Yanling was served by Libi and Jiang Zhu and changed into comfortable clothes, and just drank half a cup of almond dew, he heard Jiang Zhu smile and come in and said, "Girl, the fourth master has come back from the barracks." ”

Gu Yanling's eyes lit up, and he really wanted to come to something, so he immediately put down the small porcelain cup in his hand, got up and said, "Let's go, go to Yulan Courtyard." ”

When they arrived at the four-room Yulan Courtyard, the girls outside the house saw it, and they hurriedly raised the gold curtain and hugged Gu Yanling into the house with a smile.

The furnishings in the room are simple and elegant, Yuan Shi, who is wearing a jade-colored spring shirt, is holding a simple bun, only decorated with a transparent hosta, sitting under the south window and doing needlework, and on the other side of the kang table is the seven-year-old Gu Yanlan, who is kneeling at the moment, with two lotus root-like calves on the edge of the kang, lying on the edge of the kang table, holding a lake pen in his right hand and writing on the paper. The sunlight poured in through the lattice window pasted with peach blossom cellophane, coating the mother and daughter in front of them with a thin layer of golden light, which made people feel warm.

Gu Yanling stood there quietly, suddenly a little unwilling to disturb this scene, in the previous life, from her childhood to the death of Xie Shi later, when would she and Xie Shi be able to spend a warm afternoon like this.

Gu Yanling shook his head, and couldn't help laughing at himself for some ridiculous thoughts.

"Ah Jiu?"

A sudden sound interrupted Gu Yanling's train of thought, and when he turned his head, he was facing the fourth uncle Gu Jingming's straight and slightly surprised face.

Gu Yanling put away her emotions, and was about to speak when she heard Gu Yanlan's excited voice behind her: "Eldest sister!"

Immediately, the little girl ran over with her shoes and hugged Gu Yanling's hand, and said with a small face on her pink and glutinous buns, "Is the eldest sister coming to see me?"

Gu Yanling turned her head and touched Gu Yanlan's head, with a faint smile on her lips.

"Sister Lan is out of shape again, have you finished practicing your handwriting?"

Yuan knew that Gu Yanling and Xie were as clean as they were, and they were worried that Gu Yanlan would be too noisy, so he called Gu Yanlan back and continued to sit.

"Oh. ”

Seeing the little girl hanging her head stupidly and walking back step by step, the smile on Gu Yanling's lips couldn't help but deepen a little.

Yuan Shi also got up and said with a smile: "Fang Cai was also in a trance, but he didn't find that Ah Jiu was coming, come, come and sit." ”

Seeing that Gu Yanling hesitated for a moment, Yuan immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Sister Ling is here to find your fourth uncle, right?"

Gu Yanling smiled and bowed slightly, Gu Jingming on the side was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but say, "Oh, what is Ah Jiu looking for me?"

Unexpectedly, the girl in front of her said with an indifferent smile on her lips: "Ah Jiu wants to come to the fourth uncle to play." ”

Gu Jingming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then understood that the little girl had something to say, so he nodded and said, "Come to my study." ”

When the words fell, Gu Jingming had already turned around and walked out, Gu Yanling smiled, turned around and gave a salute to Yuan, and then followed.

The study is located in the southeast corner of Yulan Courtyard, which is relatively secluded, because Gu Jingming is in the military camp for half a month every month, and the study is relatively simple, but it is exquisite, which shows that the fourth aunt Yuan is good at taking care of it.

Gu Jingming entered the room and sat behind the bookcase, Gu Yanling picked the first chair next to him and sat down, and then someone came in and poured tea, and gently closed the door.

"Ah Jiu, what do you want to tell me?"

Gu Yanling looked up, but said with a smile: "Didn't Ah Jiufang say it?" ”

Gu Jingming was stunned again, did he dare to come all the way to play chess? Although he didn't understand, Gu Jingming still got up and walked under the window where the chessboard was resting, and Gu Yanling also got up lightly and sat opposite Gu Jingming.

Gu Yanling chose a black son, Gu Jingming held a white son, lowered his head and said naturally: "The first son and the fourth uncle will let you." ”

Unexpectedly, the girl on the other side shook her head with a smile: "Let the son be useless, but the game is not interesting." ”

Gu Jingming raised his head and saw the star-like eyes of the girl in front of him flickering and said, "Therefore, Ah Jiu thought that if Ah Jiu lost today, he would give the "Pine Shade Huiqin Picture" to the fourth uncle. ”

Hearing this, Gu Jingming's eyes lit up, and his always serious face actually had a hint of surprise.

Gu Yanling's lips smiled, although the fourth uncle Gu Jingming served in the army, he was not a reckless martial artist, and he still had a different hobby for painting and calligraphy evaluation and collection.

"But—"

The girl opened her lips again: "If the fourth uncle loses, he will have to comply with my request." ”

As soon as Gu Jingming heard that Gu Yanling was going to give him the painting he had been thinking about for a long time, where could he not agree, thinking about what big requirements a girl could have, so he did not hesitate and said proudly: "Okay." ”
