Gu Lao was taking a nap in the room, and when he heard the maidservant report that the eldest lady was coming, his eyes suddenly opened. He knew that the kid Bingxue was smart, so how could he hide it. As soon as he got up and ordered the maid to serve tea, Shen Tingge had already stepped into the door and walked straight to the left door.

"Grandpa, with such good weather, it's not uncomfortable for you to stay in the room all the time." Shen Tingge squinted his eyes and smiled warmly and quipped.

"I'm getting old arms and legs, and I'm a little tired after turning around early in the morning. It's you, a kid, why are you running around before your body is well? Gu Lao pretended to be disgusted, patted the fire kang, and let Shen Tingge sit up. Smelling a fragrance, his eyes followed the pastries that Shen Tingge put on the kang table, came to him and tasted them, and said in surprise: "Are the apricot blossoms already blooming?" ”

The backyard he went to yesterday didn't see the apricot blossoms!

Shen Tingge said with a smile: "The apricot blossoms in Yujiang Village bloom early, and the housekeeper will send fresh apricot blossoms to Xiao'er every year. How's that, it's delicious, right? ”

Gu Lao ate another piece and nodded: "Well, it's not sweet or greasy, the apricot blossom flavor is mellow, it's really good." ”

Shen Tingge leaned on the pillow cushion and watched Gu Laolian eat a few pieces, drank tea, and then said slowly: "Grandpa has eaten Yao'er's apricot blossom cake, can you tell the truth to Yao'er?" ”

Old Gu shook his hand and said vaguely: "What truth?" You're just in good shape, what are you thinking about all day? ”

Shen Tingge smiled, took a sip of tea, looked at the greenery outside the window, and said leisurely: "Grandpa, you see that the cold winter of Tiansheng has also passed, who would have thought that after a heavy snow melts, it is actually green branches budding and red plums blooming." If you have experienced winter, you will not be afraid of the cold. Turning her face, she looked at Gu Lao, who was already solemn, and continued: "Grandpa, in fact, as long as I am willing, nothing can be hidden. But I still want my nearest and dearest people to tell me the truth. ”

Gu Lao stared at Shen Tiange for a while, and suddenly sighed, and his heart was sour again. His baby daughter, a daughter with talent and appearance, if she has a trace of open-mindedness from the child in front of her, she will not be hurt by love. But this child is rational and pitiful.

"Well, this matter can't be hidden after all." Gu Lao sighed and took out a letter from the drawer of the kang and put it in front of Shen Qinge.

Shen Tingge looked at the two words of Dragon Flying and Phoenix Dance in a daze, and the smile froze at the corner of his mouth, gradually rising into a self-deprecating arc. She thought about a lot of possibilities, maybe Bai Liyao wanted to put himself in the whirlpool of the new regime, maybe he didn't want to worry about the recurrence of his old illness, maybe he thought that he was the most important in the Gu Mansion at the moment, and maybe, he had a lot of doubts in his heart, and he would deliberately snub if he wanted his own explanation...... I didn't think that he actually gave himself a letter of resignation. Well, she felt right, he barely went to the gate of Gu Mansion again, and he never came to visit him. Maybe Xiao Tao and Gu Fu didn't know about the suspension of the book, and they just complained because he snubbed him.

'The Shen family has both talent and appearance, a rich dowry, and a copper smell, but the people in the Shou Wangfu are thin, and the treasury is poor and difficult to feed, burying the Shen family's business talent. May a piece of paper dissolve the marriage, and the sky and the sea are wide to travel. Resolve grievances and release knots, and don't hate each other. One parting and two wide, each life rejoices. ’

"Hehehe...... One parting and two wide, each life rejoices. Grandpa, what do you think of Bai Liyao's writing? After a long time, Shen Tingge raised his eyebrows and asked, reloaded the letter of resignation, and saw that Gu Lao looked at himself worriedly and wanted to comfort, he flicked the envelope with his fingers and continued: "Bai Liyao's retirement is really not very good, you say, is there still a divorce in the world because of a rich dowry?" No level! Okay, grandpa, you have a good taste. ”

"You're ...... Do what you like, and your grandfather won't stop you from doing whatever you want, even if you are the enemy of the world, Gufu is still your mother's home! Gu Lao's eyes were red, and he thought that whether he was crying or angry, it was better than the light breeze now. His infant son is so strong that it hurts.

"Grandpa-" Shen Tingge stretched out the last note, stepped forward to hug Gu Lao, and quipped: "What are you doing to be the enemy of the world?" Xiao'er doesn't want to be a female emperor. ”

"What are you talking about, you kid!"

Gu Lao reluctantly smiled and feigned disgust, and said seriously: "In the past few days when you have been in a coma, the palace has sent someone to visit and sent a lot of supplements. Especially the queen mother, who has been here in person, seems to really care about you. But you and I should understand that the superior will not be kind to you for no reason. ”

Shen Tingge nodded, they were good to themselves at first, it was because of Bai Liyao, but now?

"The palace didn't know you woke up yet." Gu Lao added.

Don't you know? Perhaps. But how could Bai Liyao not know.

The spring breeze in the afternoon lingered on the cold of late winter, and Shen Tingge walked a few steps, wrapped his cloak tightly, and took a slight breath, feeling that his feet were empty. Xiao Tao was so frightened that she hurriedly called out and hugged her, but was stopped by Shen Tingge with his eyes, glanced at a few mothers-in-law and maidservants on duty in the yard, and said softly: "It's still early, let's go to the second sister of Bichunyuan to chat a few words and then go back." ”

Xiao Tao understood, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, it just happened to be on the way." ”

Bichunyuan's grandmother was startled when she saw Shen Tingge's master and servant, thinking that she was dazzled, she wiped her eyes and was sure that it was the eldest lady, so she hurriedly greeted her, greeting respectfully, her eyes only hanging on the ground, not daring to look at it.

"Grandma Sun doesn't need to make a big salute, get up and take me to see the second sister."

Shen Tingge said, Xiao Tao had already helped Grandma Sun up, thanked her, and Grandma Sun took the two of them to Gu Lian's boudoir.

"Miss, the second miss has come to see you."

Suddenly hearing Shen Tingge coming, Gu Lian was taken aback, and hurriedly got off the kang, here Grandma Sun had lifted the curtain, and Shen Tingge walked in.

"Cousin, why are you here?" Seeing that Shen Tingge's face was as pale as snow, Gu Lian was startled and hurriedly let go of the kang.

"Grandma Sun, can you make a cup of hot tea and warm up my young lady."

Mama Sun listened to Xiao Tao's kind words, and hurriedly nodded her head and went out.

"Cousin, I just came from my grandfather's place, and I suddenly felt dizzy, so I can only come to you to rest for a while. My grandfather is old, and I don't want to alarm him and make him worry about me. ”

Gu Lian understood, and hurriedly put the pillow away and said, "Although my cousin is resting, my second sister knows what to do." ”

When Grandma Sun came in with tea, Shen Tingge was lying crookedly on the pillow, holding the warm gloves that Gu Lian was sewing in her hand and looking at it, and Xiao Tao waited for a few sips.

"Mama, you can go down too, our sisters say something considerate, nag about homely things, don't let the little girls disturb you, without my orders, you don't have to be on duty."

Gu Lian's voice was as soft as her face, but the tone still had the majesty of Miss, and Mama Sun immediately answered and walked out.

Shen Tingge smiled, it seems that the eldest aunt really taught Gu Lian well, so that she has the demeanor of everyone's daughter-in-law.

"I didn't expect the second sister's hands to be so skillful, and the wiring was so exquisite, and the colors were bright and lifelike. It's just that the material here, what kind of sewing, light and not bloated, but so warm? ”

When Gu Lian heard the praise, her face turned red, and she whispered: "Practice makes perfect." Because the holy doctor of the hundred poisons said that the spring cold is precipitous, and my cousin can no longer be invaded by the cold, so I tried this warm condom, and if it did, I would make a frame for my cousin. ”

Shen Tingge's heart warmed when he heard this, and he turned over the lining and stroked it, it was indeed very soft and velvety.

Gu Lian saw that Shen Tingge seemed curious, and said: "When I was in the Lin Mansion before, I saw the old lady in the embroidery room twisting waste wool into threads and sewing them into cheesecloth, although it didn't look good, it was very warm. So I cut and glued the fox fur from my coat into thick threads and sewed a thick layer on the cotton cloth. ”

Shen Tingge looked at Gu Lian, she knew that Gu Lian was out of the Lin family, and because she had no relatives since she was a child, she was very unpopular, and she did embroidery work for a large number of ladies and ladies in the embroidery room all day long. Now she mentioned the sorrow of the past without a trace of complaint and resentment, and there was still a bit of nostalgia in the depths of her eyes.

"Is the old lady still there?"

Gu Lian looked sad, and said softly: "She passed away before I left the Lin Mansion. ”

"Who else is in her house?"

Gu Lian shook her head: "I heard that she was a dumb child picked up by the old lady from Beihai when she was studying abroad, and later she was disfigured by smallpox, because the embroidery was very good, the old lady left her in the embroidery room, and she was never harsh on food and clothing." It's just that because she had smallpox and has a weird temperament, no one in the house is close to her. ”

Shen Tingge sighed in his heart when he heard it.

Disfigured by smallpox? I'm afraid it's another dirty thing out of the backyard. Just twisting animal hair into threads instead of fur for warmth, is not something that can be imagined out of thin air. The old lady came from Beihai - the forbidden book records that the Lian clan in Beihai had studied thin and warm cotton spinning because of Emperor Zhaoyang's casual remarks, and the Zhaoyang Emperor praised Lian for creating a new history of the textile industry.

Could it be that the old lady is a descendant of the Lian family! Yes, it must be.

After hundreds of years, the Lian family has long since declined, and fate has allowed Gu Lian to inherit his skills.

"Second sister, I like it very much, thank you." Shen Tingge thanked him from the bottom of his heart, Gu Lian was flattered, and looked at Shen Tingge at a loss. Compared with those young ladies in the Lin Mansion, my cousin has a much more noble status than them, but she is so kind and kind, and she doesn't like her birth, which makes Gu Lian's heart moved.

"Look at you, we're sisters. Come on, you go on, I'll sleep a little bit. ”

Shen Tingge spoke softly, handed the warm sleeve to Gu Lian, Xiao Tao hurriedly helped her smooth her body, put a pillow, covered a thin quilt, and sat next to Shen Tingge. Gu Lian was in a trance, sat on the kang, and was stunned for a while.

Shen Tingge didn't really want to sleep, she just had an empty heart, but her thoughts were tumbling like a nuclear wave, if it weren't for Bichun Garden, it would be difficult for her to stick to Zhuohuaju. Gu Lian's embroidery attracted his attention, and then Lian's family, Shen Tingge's self-deprecating flat mouth, she was really a businesswoman who was full of copper stench. With Bai Liyao's resignation book in his arms, he immediately thought of business opportunities when he heard about the skills of wool spinning.

The palm of her hand was gently pressed on her chest, and the letter of resignation was like a cold Ugin, and her heart was trembling cold.

Bai Liyao, are you too arrogant or have you forgotten our agreement, and you dare to make a decision privately without my consent, I Shen Tingge will definitely ...... His cheeks were wet, and Shen Tingge didn't expect that he would still cry for this letter of resignation.

Their marriage was originally fake, and the letter of divorce was just a formality for terminating the contract, how could she, why should she take it seriously? Shen Tingge closed her eyes and took a deep breath, telling herself that she was not attached to Bai Liyao, she was used to controlling everything, and Bai Liyao's letter of resignation caught her off guard, so the initiative in this matter should still be in her own hands.

Gu Lian stood at the door in a daze, and Grandma Sun called her a few times before she came back to her senses, and asked unsurely: "Grandma, did my cousin tell me something when she left?" ”

Grandma Sun grinned and her face almost bloomed, and she pulled Gu Lian to the kang and said happily: "Miss, you can be regarded as having survived." When the eldest lady leaves, let you prepare to prepare, and enter the palace with her tomorrow to meet the queen! ”

Entering the palace? Do what?

Looking at Gu Lian with a blank face, Grandma Sun looked like she hated iron but not steel, and said in a low voice: "My aunt, you have long passed the end of your life, and you are a few months behind the eldest lady, and you should be the age to discuss marriage." But although you are already the young lady of Gu Mansion, Gu Mansion is not familiar with Tiansheng's life, and you have no chance to participate in the banquet of the princes and nobles, who will propose to you? Who knows what Miss Gu Fu is like? But it's different for the eldest lady to take you into the palace, first, it's an opportunity to show your appearance, and second, the eldest lady's status is precious, and you are her valued sister, who doesn't rush forward to stammer? ”

"What should I do? Mama, don't say these words again. I can be liked by my mother, and I am very content to have the identity of Miss Gu Fuyan now. Those princes and aristocratic families, I don't envy them. ”

Seeing that Gu Lian was angry, Mama Sun gave herself a slap and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, it's all the old slave's mouth is too much." How could the old slave of Miss's non-competitive temperament forget. It's just that the young lady is adoptive in the end, and she can't be compared to her own child, and when she marries into her husband's family in the future, she must have an identity that makes them jealous. Could it be that the young lady forgot how her aunt died? ”

Grandma Sun said that her aunt wiped away her tears, and Gu Lian sighed and said with a pleasant face: "I know, Grandma is also thinking about me." Let's go, go talk to your mother. ”

Xiao Tao stood in front of Lamei in the corridor with a heavy heart, and the abnormality of the young lady made her feel uncomfortable. She had heard about the book of resignation from the mouth of the shaking light in the Shouwang Mansion, and she could even remember the woman's gloating look clearly.

Although the young lady didn't say it, she knew that she must have seen the letter of resignation. What she is more worried about is what will happen if Miss Tomorrow enters the palace and meets Bai Liyao?

There was a chill behind him, and the demon wind asked in a low voice, "Miss knows?" ”

Well.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Xiao Tao sighed heavily at the demon wind, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay if you are angry and sad, or cry silently, but Miss still looks fine except for her pale face, and she has eaten an extra dinner." I knew that the calmer the young lady became, the more sad she became. I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I will meet that bastard when I enter the palace tomorrow! ”

Xiao Tao thought of Bai Li Yao and was angry, she saw clearly, in fact, Miss also had Bai Li Yao in her heart.

"Originally, if it weren't for Miss, would Bai Liyao still be alive today? Now that the Holy Doctor of Hundred Poisons is here, he will kick Miss away! ”

Xiao Tao muttered in annoyance, in fact, this is what she can't figure out the most. Bai Liyao and Miss met in a young man, he saw the friendship of Miss in his eyes, no matter how he thought, it should not be as Shaoguang said, Bai Liyao is angry Miss and Yunli are not clear, and even dedicated himself to saving Yunli in the underground palace.

"Miss's affairs, she will take care of it herself."

Demon Wind said in a low voice, and disappeared in an instant.
