Coming out of the restaurant, Qin Duo's face was slightly disappointed, the hairpin was placed on the table, Si Mengwen looked at the hairpin with a wine glass, and his eyes didn't move for a long time.

Xuan Zhi had already booked a seat in his own restaurant, and he seemed to be very full at noon, and he was very happy.

"Sister, you're here, uncle and aunt are visiting in front, sister, do you want to go?" Xuan Zhi looked at Qin Duo with a smile on his face and said with a smile.

"Is Daddy here?" Qin Duo looked at Xuan Zhi with a smile and asked.

"Come on, my father and aunt are here, after lunch, I just accompanied my uncle and aunt to watch, what about you, sister?"

"Well, I'm definitely not suitable to play at this time, so I'll take a lunch break first, and then I'll play later, how about it?" The corners of Qin Duo's mouth looked at Xuan Zhi with a gentle smile, and said with a smile, after hearing Qin Duo's words, Xuan Zhi nodded, and naturally arranged a place for Qin Duo to rest.

I haven't had a good rest for a long time, as soon as I got on the pillow, Qin Duo began to fall asleep, and it wasn't until dusk that he woke up, at this time it was already lively outside, everyone was sitting in the courtyard below, Zhao Hongmian also came, and the two families sat together, looking very lively.

"Looks like I'm eating again this time!" With a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, Qin Duo sat beside Xuan Zhi, looking at everyone with embarrassment on his face: "The business has been a little busy in the past two days, please forgive me!" ”

After hearing Qin Duo's words, everyone just smiled, and instead looked at the girl opposite, the girl sat there quietly, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, Qin Duo looked at the middle-aged couple next to the girl again, presumably this is the Duan's couple!

"Hello uncle and aunt!" Qin Duo smiled and nodded, after hearing Qin Duo's words, the Duan's couple were a little flattered, for Qin Duo, they were all clear, the marriage between Xuanzhi and Duanlan, the most important person, was still Qin Duo, and the person who chose to see them at the Lantern Festival was also Qin Duo.

"This is Miss Qin, it's really a beauty!" Mrs. Duan glanced at Qin Duo with a smile, but she thought in her heart, the little girl in front of her was the emperor's marriage, and it seemed that she was just Er'er, but she didn't know what was so good that she was going to marry into the palace!

"Aunt is polite, it's Qin Duo who doesn't entertain well, because he is busy, so his uncle and aunt didn't come over to entertain him early, this is Miss Duan, it's so beautiful!" Qin Duo put a small box in front of Duanlan.

"This is a little bit of my heart to prepare, I heard that the Lantern Festival is your birthday, so I prepared this little gift, I hope you like it!" Qin Duo said with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you, sister!" Duanlan hurriedly stood up, took Qin Duo's box, opened it, and there was a jade Ruyi inside, the jade Ruyi itself was crystal clear, and the workmanship was also very exquisite, looking very beautiful.

Wishful thinking, the Duan family and his wife saw the gift given by Qin Duo, and their faces immediately put a smile on their faces, the seven or eight daughters of the Duan family, only four were married, and there were four left, although the Duan family was solid, but the problem of money, in marrying a daughter, there were still some difficulties, if Duanlan could marry the Qin family, the dowry they had to prepare would not be much, maybe they could get a little bride price money, and marry the other three daughters in the future.

"The remaining three are Miss Six, Miss Seven and Miss Eight!" Qin Duo's eyes looked at the three girls beside Duanlan, the three girls were all younger than Duanlan, with a smile on their faces, seeing the gift Qin Duo gave to Duanlan, their eyes were a little envious.

"Yes, they are all indisputable little girls in our family, the two boys over there are two sons, the eldest and the nineth, the eldest has already made a marriage, and will be married in May next year, and the ninth is still young!" Mrs. Duan said to Qin Duo with a smile, Qin Duo nodded, brought the tray as she wished, and gave gifts to the remaining three young ladies of the Duan family, as well as Lao Jiu, as for the boss of the Duan family, Qin Duo did not give it, because these gifts were used to coax children.

"I heard that Young Master Duan likes to study calligraphy the most, and I accidentally got a pair of ancestral calligraphy, which is from everyone, I have already let Xuan Zhi wrap it up!" The corners of Qin Duo's mouth had a gentle smile, and after Boss Duan heard Qindu's words, his eyes lit up, Qin Duo just smiled faintly, and turned to look at the people at the table.

"Let's eat. Wait until the lantern festival on the street begins! Qin Duo said with a smile, Qin Dazhuang glanced at Qin Duo, and saw that Qin Duo was satisfied with Duanlan, and he was also relieved, the Qin family has a big business, and it is generally good to marry a girl, as for the girl's background, she really doesn't care at all.

"Duanlan girl, I heard that you have been alone in the yard and haven't gone out recently, but is it true?" Li looked at Duanlan with a smile and asked softly.

"It's not every day, but during this time, my father and mother said that I was so old that I shouldn't go out to take care of business, so I just didn't go out in the yard!" Duanlan said with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Our Qin family, the most taboo thing is that the girl herself has the ability, if you have something you like to do, just do it, we are very supportive!" Li said to Duanlan with a smile, "Look at our family Duo'er, Xuanzhi, a lot of business is done by themselves, we don't interfere at all, and we don't even know where many businesses are!" Li said to Duanlan with a smile, and the corners of Duanlan's mouth brought a faint smile and nodded.

The guests and hosts of the meal were happy, Qin Duo didn't speak much, Duanlan had been slowly answering Li's questions, the conversation was very good, and everyone was very satisfied, after eating, the Duan's couple and Qin Dazhuang and Li's Zhao Hongmian were reluctant to go out, but when a group of young people walked outside with a group of children, Qin Duo was a little slower, and Li took Qin Duo's hand.

"Xuanzhi and Duanlan's eight characters, I've already gone to meet, it's good, this time for dinner, we also want to settle the marriage, I just want to ask you, what do you think about the bride price?" Li Shi whispered to Qin Duo and said, "I think about it left and right, it's high, I feel that we are a little bullying, and if it's low, it's a little bad!" ”

"What's this, I've already told Xuanzhi about this, Xuanzhi said that it was five shops, five thousand taels, plus things to go to, the Duan family is no better than our family, these things must be discounted in the past, but Xuanzhi's business is good, and he makes a lot of money, so naturally he doesn't care about such a little money, it doesn't matter if he gives more money, he gives more, that is the importance we attach to the Duanjia girl!" The corners of Qin Duo's mouth said with a gentle smile, after hearing Qin Duo's words, Li nodded, since Qin Duo spoke, she also knew that Qin Duo must have thought about it!

"That's it, I'll give the Duan family a thorough understanding later!" Li nodded, "On our side, it is generally thirty-six dans, I thought about it, let's get seventy-two dans, when the eldest girl got married, the Zhao family came to thirty-six, we went to one hundred and eight, Duanlan married over, it was about ninety dan!" ”

"It's okay, seventy-two, Duanlan is a calm girl, and she must know it in her heart, seventy-two burdens are a little heavier, and it is not impossible to make one hundred and eight burdens in the end!" Qin Duo said with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, after hearing Qin Duo's words, Li nodded and went inside, and Qin Duo also walked outside.

"Sister, what's wrong with you today, we've been waiting for you for a long time!" Xuan Zhi's face was slightly unhappy, Duanlan gently pulled Xuan Zhi's hand, and Qin Duo smiled embarrassedly.

"Isn't that trying to figure out what you're doing?" Qin Duo looked at Xuan Zhi with a smile on his face, "Let's go, let's go to the river to watch the lantern festival!" The lantern festival in Cloud City is very lively! Qin Duo said with a smile, a group of people walked outside with a smile and a smile, everyone had a gentle smile on their faces, and there were people talking and laughing along the way.

Xuan Zhi and Duanlan walked together, and Qin Duo was talking to the little three sisters of the Duan family in the back, the little three sisters were very lively, chattering all the way, not lonely at all!

"Xuanzhi, do you think Miss Qin will be dissatisfied with me?" Duanlan turned his head to look at Qin Duo, who was smiling, and asked Xuanzhi softly.

"Didn't my sister give you jade ruyi?" Xuanzhi had a smile on his face, "That means that my sister is very satisfied with you, I told you, my sister rarely gives other people's things, and it is the first time for me to send jade Ruyi!" Xuan Zhi smiled and said to Duanlan, "So you just don't think too much, my sister has always been like this, he only likes others to be lively, not his own!" ”

Listening to Xuanzhi's words, Duanlan nodded lightly, turned his head to look at Qin Duo, Qin Duo happened to turn his head, and showed a friendly smile to her, seeing the smile on Qin Duo's face, Duanlan's heart skipped a beat, and then lowered his head, as Xuanzhi said, indeed, Qin Duo looked like a very quiet girl, listening quietly to her three younger sisters chattering in the back, but she didn't speak.

The group of people walking on the street is naturally very eye-catching, and from time to time there are eyes looking at this side, especially when Duanlan is also a little beauty, and there is a group of little beauties behind, everyone feels very novel to this group of people.

"We're the focus tonight, sister, do you want to come with us!" Xuan Zhi stopped, looked at Qin Duo, and said with a smile, Qin Duo shook his head slightly, looking at Xuan Zhi with some amusement.

"Don't think that my sister doesn't know what attention you played, what, you want me to set off you and your girl on the side?" Qin Duo looked at Xuan Zhi with a smile, "I think you better stop dreaming, I definitely won't do this!" ”

Qin Duo patted Xuanzhi on the shoulder: "Go play with you, I'll watch you from behind, by the way, you have to take a good look at this group of children, so many children, if you lose one, you will have to look for a long time!" Qin Duo said to Xuan Zhi with a smile, Xuan Zhi stuck out his tongue, turned around to follow Duan Lan, and a group of children surrounded him.

Qin Duo stood behind and watched, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a faint smile, his dream was to go back, but then he knew that he couldn't go back, so he thought about raising Xuanzhi, and after raising Xuanzhi, he found that many things can go like this and go like that, and her life has also changed a lot, and such changes have gathered in her heart and given her a lot of ideas.

Now Xuanzhi has grown up and can take charge on his own, with his beloved, standing beside his beloved, looking at everything with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, he is no longer the child he used to be, Qin Duo sighed, everyone has grown up, and the Gu family has also started over, it seems that only she has not changed much.

Qin Duo, Qin Duo, in this world, probably all the unhappy things you have experienced, Qin Duo closed his eyes, almost twenty years of life replayed in his mind, the people he had seen, the things he had done, the broken heart, and finally found that everything was nonsense.

No matter how hard she tries, how motivated, how she wants to change herself, change her life, in the end, everything seems to stop there, her story, her life, everything she has is frozen there, no one says, no one dislikes it, there is just a touch of sadness in the endless memories, perhaps, such a story, she should have been used to it a long time ago.

However, sometimes she still can't think clearly, she wants to think more clearly, she thinks more clearly, and she is afraid to think clearly, and in the end, everything seems to be circling like this, helplessly, she finally took a road that she herself didn't want to take, and did something she didn't want to do!

And she, in the face of such a thing, can only smile and accept!

"Qin Duo, Happy New Year! The year has begun again, I don't know if you can walk on the street so quietly next year, not because of anything else, but because you are you, the simplest you in the world! ”

Qin Duo lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth seemed to have a flash of bitterness, but the bitterness was only an instantaneous thing, she tightened her hands, wanting to take out the hairpin from her arms, and suddenly remembered that the hairpin had been returned to Si Mengwen, that Qin Duo, she could no longer accompany her to talk and chat!

Qin Duo sighed, there was a flash of loneliness in her eyes, but it was just a flash, the rest was gone, she knew that the end of the Gu family was the end, and no one could give a follow-up to the story!

Life is not an excerpt, it will never change because of the author's mood, her world is like this, it will go all the way to the end, there is no end.
