The other space of the flower hall is very characteristic of the south of the Yangtze River, and some of the furnishings are also very exquisite, and a delicate screen is placed on the side of the door, which is the kind of hand-embroidered screen, with mountains and rivers, flowers and birds

There is a multi-treasure pavilion on the north side, many of the furnishings on it are brought by Gu Xinyu, and the pillows and pillows on the chaise longue are embroidered by the eldest daughter of the grandmother-in-law of the villa, which is very exquisite, and even the Yuan Niang, who has always been picky, likes it very much.

Now that the room is warm, the maids are busy in an orderly manner, carefully folding the cloaks worn by Gu Xinyu and Changle and putting them in the cabinet, and the maids walked out of the house lightly and closed the door casually.

At this time, Gu Xinyu and Changle sat on the side of the kang, Yuan Niang took Changle's hand, looked at it carefully, and said with relief: "You have grown taller, and your complexion is also very good, it seems that your sister Gu did not bully you."

Gu Xinyu pouted: "Mother, look at what you said, am I your daughter?" ”

Changle was a little relieved at this time, and her expression was also much more cheerful, she liked Yuan Niang, because everyone said that Yuan Niang and her own mother grew up together, and she wanted to know what kind of woman her mother was.

Changle took a bite of osmanthus red bean cake and sighed with satisfaction: "Aunt Yuan, the pastries you make are the most delicious in the world, and even the chefs in the palace are not as delicious as you."

Yuan Niang lovingly looked at the daughter left by her friend, her eyes were a little sour, that beautiful and gentle woman, who died before the age of twenty, leaving a pair of children. The eldest son was born with fetal poison and lingered on the sickbed all the year round, and the young daughter lost her mother since she was a child, and there was no one close to her to teach

Fortunately, God is long-eyed, and now Fu Shu has recovered, and has gone to the court, and followed the emperor to deal with the government affairs, as for this girl, in fact, there is no need for Gu Xinyu to say, Yuan Niang has long had this idea. I just didn't find a chance

Several people sat together. Listening to Gu Xinyu talk about the martial arts competition in the villa a few days ago, Changle gestured from time to time during the period, and it seemed that her mood had returned to normal, if she ignored the loss and gloom in her eyes.

Yuan Niang listened with relish. Unexpectedly, his son-in-law also sat in the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance. In the past few days, the circle of noble ladies in Rongcheng has been talking about this. And the wives of those people looked at them with envy and jealousy, and they only wished that this son-in-law belonged to their own family

Hearing Gu Xinyu say that he had received the emperor's will a few days ago, this martial arts alliance leader Zhou Muhan could take it. Yuan Niang completely put her mind at ease, this matter can be big or small, it depends on what the emperor thinks, fortunately, now the Zhou family is strong

It just so happened that Gu Xinyu didn't have anything to do today, so he simply lived here, Yuan Niang was busy for a day, and her body was a little tired, so after arranging some trivial things for the two of them, she went to rest.

And Changle didn't go to the guest room, but squeezed together with Gu Xinyu, because she had been thinking about it for a day and had something to ask Gu Xinyu

After the two of them had laid down, the maids also took away the lamps, gently closed the door, and went to the side room outside to keep vigil.

At this time, the moon outside was full, and the silver moonlight flowed into the room like water, covering the window lattices and the kang with a layer of soft light veil

The kang under her was hot, and Gu Xinyu, who was full of food and drink, was a little drowsy, but Changle was completely sleepy, she gently pushed Gu Xinyu, and asked carefully: "Sister Gu, Sister Gu, are you asleep?" ”

Gu Xinyu replied in a daze: "I'm asleep"

Changle ""

She still couldn't hold back, pushed Gu Xinyu again, and asked unwillingly: "Sister Gu, I want to talk to you"

As soon as Gu Xinyu turned over, his eyes opened a slit, looking at the little girl in the moonlight, he had a posture that he would not give up if he didn't agree, Gu Xinyu held his forehead, and said helplessly: "My little princess, if you have something to say, I'm sleepy."

Changle bit his lip, and before Gu Xinyu's drowsiness hit again, he finally spoke: "Sister Gu, will General Zhou take you to play?" ”

Well? Gu Xinyu opened his eyes, looked at the little girl opposite who was eager to learn, thought about it, didn't speak for a while, and said for a while: "Actually, he didn't take me to play before, but in the past half a year or so, there is a Swan Lake in Taoyuan Villa, where I often go out, I took you there, do you remember?" ”

Changle nodded, of course she remembered that there was not only beautiful scenery, but also a lot of delicious and fun things, especially those lakes one after another, on which beautiful swans lived, in fact, she didn't know what this animal was called.

I just think this thing looks really good, with a long neck, floating quietly and elegantly on the water, and it's a pair

Or Gu Xinyu told her, this beautiful little thing is called a swan, it can fly, and when winter comes, it will fly to the far south, and when it comes to the spring of the next year, when everything in the north recovers, it will fly back from the south again

Gu Xinyu continued: "When he took me there for the first time, he was a little late to play, and he missed the lunch time, so we roasted wild ducks there, and also roasted wild duck eggs there to eat, which was very fun, and he even had all kinds of spices in his bag."

At that time, the fortune was not very large, just like a puppy, and his favorite thing was to scare the swans in the lake."

Changle's eyes lit up: "Sister Gu, does General Zhou like you very much?" ”

Gu Xinyu poked at Changle with a finger: "How old are you?" Do you know what it means to like? ”

Changle nodded vigorously: "Of course I know, if I like it, I'm willing to take you to play."

Gu Xinyu looked at her in surprise: "Who did you listen to?" ”

"A grandmother in the palace said that my father and brother didn't like me because they didn't take me to play"

Gu Xinyu was shocked when she heard this, who is this grandmother, she is so bold, Changle shook his head: "It's an old grandmother in the palace, I don't know what her surname is, but she is very good to me and tells me stories."

Gu Xinyu turned over, looked at the blanching flowers on the top of the curtain above his head, turned his head, and said to her very solemnly: "They don't take you to play, it's not that they don't like you, it's because one of them is very busy and the other is not in good health."

Changle nodded: "I know, so I never quarrel with them, but, Sister Gu, do you know?" When I first came to Rongcheng, Linlang and I were almost bullied by the villains, it was Brother Leng who saved us, but I didn't expect him to save me later, and then he went to the villa, at first he ignored me at all, I always like to play with him, and later, he was slowly willing to take me to Feifei" (to be continued.) )
