Gu Qingjin likes peonies because of the "Peony Preface" that she learned before she crossed over, the story about peonies and the empress, so when she planned to plant flowers, the first thing she thought of was planting peonies.

Before, the people who found peony seedlings that had already grown and grown into adult plants were sent for the first time. If I'm not mistaken, the seeds of peony flowers don't grow until the next year. After handing over those seeds to the mandarin duck, Qing Jin's daily thoughts were on the peony that had become an adult, pondering the knowledge about peony planting and cultivation that she had seen before the crossing.

After Gu Qingjin got up in the morning that day, when the mandarin duck was respectfully waiting for her to freshen up, she listened to the noisier sound outside than usual, and asked the mandarin duck next to her, "Why is it lively outside today?" ”

When the mandarin duck heard Gu Qingjin's question, she kept her hands and replied to Gu Qingjin: "Back to the girl, the house is so lively because the housekeeper received the news early this morning, saying that the third master and the third lady will be there at noon in a while, by the way, the old lady also sent someone to order, saying that the girl does not need to go to the old lady's side to say goodbye this morning, and the old lady has temporarily exempted everyone in the house from good morning today." ”

Gu Qingjin was stunned when she heard Mandarin Duck's words, "Really?" The only piece of information that appeared in my mind was that Gu Qingyao was coming back.

Although she had learned the news some time ago, she herself had thought about the attitude she should have towards Gu Qingyao after Gu Qingyao came back, but when she heard the fact that Gu Qingyao was coming back today, Gu Qingjin was still in a trance, staring blankly at the youthful and gorgeous face in the mirror.

When the mandarin duck saw her own girl in a trance, she didn't know why every time she mentioned the third master's family, the girl's expression would become ethereal and different from the silence of the past, and there were some things that she couldn't understand, but made her feel bad.

Obviously, her own girl has never seen the third master's family, is the girl worried that the third master's daughter-in-law and the fourth girl will come back? But the girl is the eldest girl of Anjihou Mansion, even if the fourth girl is the daughter of the third master, she can't compare to the identity of her own girl Anjihou's daughter, so why is the girl like this?

She waved her hand to let the little maid who was waiting in the room withdraw quietly, and stood beside Gu Qingjin like a stone sculpture in her duty, no matter what, she was always by the girl's side and loyal to the girl. She likes what the girl likes, and she must hate what the girl hates, and anyone who wants to hurt her girl must first step over her corpse.

Looking at the girl's ethereal expression and age-inappropriate expression reflected on the bronze mirror, Mandarin Duck had never seen the third master's family, but at this time she had already decided that no matter what happened to the third master's family, Mandarin Duck decided that she would start to hate the third master's family.

Standing quietly behind Gu Qingjin, hearing the sound of the sudden more lively and noisy outside, the mandarin duck looked through the window, it was so lively outside, it should be the third master's family entering the house, madam...... No, after the third master comes back, he should be called the eldest lady, and the eldest lady's crisp voice can occasionally hear a sentence or two.

The mandarin duck looked back at her own girl who was still in a daze in front of the bronze mirror, should she persuade the girl to go out for a walk, it is best to go with the eldest lady to greet the third master's family, so that she can know why every time the third master's family is mentioned, the girl is so abnormal. When I saw the girl's figure, I felt confused again, if the girl was really in a bad mood because of the third master's family, and she was asking the girl to go out to see the third master's family, wouldn't it make the girl even more uncomfortable? Thinking of this, the mandarin duck continued to stand quietly behind Gu Qingjin, quietly serving as a backdrop.

When the sun sets, the earth is bathed in the colorful glow of the afterglow, and the evening breeze slowly blows a burst of fragrant flowers and trees, which makes people feel refreshed and happy, and spontaneously gives birth to the infinitely good feeling of the sunset.

Gu Qingjin took the personal maid Mandarin Duck through the layers of courtyards to her grandmother Shen's Chaoxia Courtyard, her expression was comfortable, not at all absent-minded as the Mandarin Duck saw in the morning, and even with a faint smile.

In the Hou Mansion, when the orderly subordinates saw the two girls walking towards them, they couldn't help but stop and bend down to salute, and waited until the figure of the second girl was far away before they did their own things.

The second girl in the past let them curry favor, since the second girl woke up from illness, managed the accounts in the house, and thoroughly checked the accounts some time ago, after the thunderous means dealt with the corrupt and opportunistic subordinates, let them face the second girl from the beginning of admiration to the present respectful and polite.

When Gu Qingjin stepped into the gate of Chaoxia Courtyard with the mandarin duck, she heard her grandmother Shen's voice coming from the back room.

"You come back safely, even if the family is reunited in the Anjihou Mansion, I-this old bone is worthy of the old man who died early."

When Gu Qingjin heard Shen's voice, she immediately understood that the third uncle and the third aunt should be in her grandmother's inner room at this time, and grandmother Shen's words were obviously said to the third uncle and the third aunt Su, listening to grandmother Shen's words, the third aunt should have just entered, she stood quietly outside the house, and was not in a hurry to enter.

It didn't take long for a soft, sweet girl's voice to sound: "Say hello to grandmother." ”

Gu Qingjin didn't hear the voice of her grandmother Shen in the house, and even the sound of laughing with each other in the room just now was gone, Gu Qingjin waited patiently, and sure enough, it didn't take long for a deep voice to take the lead and say: "Son bothered you, son is not filial, he has not served his mother for so many years, his son is ashamed, and my younger brother is grateful to my eldest brother for his filial piety to his mother instead of his younger brother for so many years." ”

Could it be that her father was also in her grandmother's room, Qing Jin wondered.

"The third brother doesn't need to say that, the eldest brother is the eldest son, and we inherit the title of Anji Marquis, so it is natural for him to be filial to his mother." A gentle voice sounded, it was the voice of Qing Jin's familiar father, Gu Huaili.

"You don't have to feel guilty about the third child, the boss takes care of me very dedicatedly, and besides, both of you came out of my belly......" Needless to say, it was the voice of grandmother Shen. After the grandmother finished speaking, it was the father and the third uncle who responded in unison.

Then I heard my grandmother's voice again, but this time it seemed to be said to Gu Qingjin's third aunt: "It's really not easy for you to live in a wild place with the third child for so many years. Mingxuan, you have a good upbringing, you have the demeanor of his old man, and the Qi girl is also very good, she knows books and etiquette, Yao girl-"

Then Gu Qingjin heard the crisp and sweet voice again: "Grandmother." ”
