Two days later, news came out of King Huai's mansion that King Huai's prince was engaged to Qiao Sixiang, the fourth girl of Qiao's house, and the wedding date was set for March next year. Two days later, the eldest son of the Liguo Mansion and Gu Qingyan's family affairs were also booked, and the wedding date was scheduled for the end of February next year.

Although there was only half a year between these two family affairs from the small set to the wedding date, several families had intentions with each other early before the small decision, and they were not in a hurry.

After the two small determinations, it was this year's township test in a blink of an eye. Because Gu Cunyu was also about to end the game, Gu Qingwan deliberately sent someone to send a lot of colorful heads with good meanings. It's just that this time the thank you gift was sent by the people around Zhou, the eldest young grandmother of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

It has been almost two years since the Zhou family married to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and she lives in a simple place on weekdays, and she is easily unable to see her. In addition, Gu Cunyu has been concentrating on preparing for the exam in the past two years, so she has taken care of Gu Cunyu wholeheartedly and never cared about the things in the inner courtyard. I don't know if she is too kind or the eldest lady is unwilling to give up power, and in the past two years, I haven't seen the eldest lady mention letting her take care of the house.

But now that Gu Cunyu has survived the township test, whether he is in the middle or not is another matter, it seems that the eldest lady wants the Zhou family to start taking over the family affairs now.

At the same time as Zhou's thank-you gift, there was also Xie Ningxin, who had not shown up for a long time.

After Xie Ningxin and Hu Yin got married, Hu Yin wholeheartedly prepared for the township test, and Xie Ningxin was naturally taking care of his daily life and diet, so he had no leisure. Now that Hu Yinxiang has tried, Xie Ningxin went back to Liguo Mansion and sent a post to Ruiwangfu the next day.

Before she got up, Xie Ningxin saw that she had lost a lot, but her spirit was much more sufficient.

In fact, after careful calculation, Gu Qingwan and Xie Ningxin have only known each other for two years, and they have only met a few times during this time. But this did not hinder the friendship between her and Xie Ningxin at all, that is, they had not seen each other for a long time, and there was no sense of alienation between them.

Maybe things in this world are so strange, she and the girls of the Gu family have lived under the same roof for more than ten years, calculating and hating each other. But for an outsider who has only met a few times, he can be a confidant.

The two continued for a while, and Xie Ningxin saw that the maids had avoided it, and frowned and said angrily: "My eldest brother and Gu Qingyan's matter, presumably my sister also knows the truth, right?" ”

Gu Qingwan looked at Xie Ningxin's very irritable appearance, so she smiled and nodded.

Xie Ningxin showed a bitter and bitter look: "I have been living in another village last month, and I only received the news the day before my eldest brother made a marriage. The old lady never let go before, I thought that this matter would probably not work, but I didn't expect the eldest aunt to say that the old lady would be moved. ”

After that, she sighed heavily, "Gu Qingyan has such a temperament, I don't know what the eldest aunt thinks?" It's a pity that I'm from the third room, and it's not my turn to take care of this matter. ”

When Xie Ningxin was preparing to marry at home, Duchess Liguo faintly had the intention of marrying the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, Xie Ningxin was very disgusted at that time, and said a lot of Gu Qingyan's words in front of Mrs. Xie. It was Mrs. Xie who saw the signs and admonished Xie Ningxin more than once in private.

They are only people in the third room, although it is said that the Duchess of Liguo loves Xie Ningxin very much on weekdays, but if she reaches out to the big room, even if she has good intentions, she may annoy others.

Xie Ningxin was silent at this time, and only locked herself in the room to embroider the dowry.

She knew that Mrs. Gu originally wanted the girl of the Chen family, but she didn't expect that she hadn't screwed the Duchess of Liguo after all.

The old lady is also old, and she has been doing nothing for a long time ago, if the eldest aunt insists on going her own way, how can the old lady alone stop it? Xie Ningxin thought about it, and showed a wry smile.

"You also said that this matter is not your turn, and now that it is a foregone conclusion, you can't change it no matter how distressed you are, why worry about such a thing?" Gu Qingwan thought about it, afraid that Xie Ningxin would drill the tip of the horns, but she couldn't help but persuade her a few words, "You have already left the pavilion, and you will not be out of sight and out of mind in the future." What you're worried about is that Gu Qingyan has too much thought, it's just that you should know how the Duchess of Liguo behaves in the world, even if Gu Qingyan enters the Liguo Mansion, she can only be cautious. ”

Xie Ningxin clapped her hands and laughed: "Yes, I got the tip of the horns." Not to mention the eldest aunt, even the old lady is not a confused person, and my mother, second aunt, and fourth aunt are staring at it. Seeing people's hearts for a long time, Gu Qingyan will see clearly in the future, and the eldest aunt and eldest brother will see it clearly. ”

Gu Qingwan couldn't help but sympathize with Gu Qingyan, she would not only have a powerful mother-in-law, a mother-in-law and a group of aunts in the future, but also a sister-in-law who didn't do much with her. The important thing is that this little sister-in-law who doesn't like her is still very much favored by Mrs. Gu and Duchess Liguo.

I don't know if she will regret the original marriage when she thinks about it in the future.

remembered that Xie Ningxin didn't have such an aversion to Gu Qingyan before, but it was just because she knew that Gu Qingyan had designed her in King Huai's mansion. It's just that Gu Qingyan can't be blamed for what happened at the beginning, if Gu San's careful thinking about Xie Ziran didn't make Gu Qingyan use, make wedding dresses for others at the same time, and harm herself to death?

But Gu Qingyan's approach is also a little more vicious, if this matter is spread out, Gu San's life will be ruined here. However, ruining Gu San's girl is exactly what Gu Qingyan wants to see.

Gu Qingwan sneered in her heart, and swept Gu Qingyan out of her thoughts, only to hear Xie Ningxin talk about her month in the other courtyard.

When it was time for lunch, Xie Ningxin did not shy away from it, so she asked about the injury on Gu Qingwan's hand.

Xie Ningxin has lived in another courtyard for a long time, and Mrs. Hu has always been a taciturn person who does not like to chew her tongue, so it stands to reason that Xie Ningxin should not know about it. It's just that the Duchess of Liguo was present that day, and Xie Ningxin went back to the Liguo Mansion the day before yesterday, but she heard a few words from Mrs. Xie.

She originally wanted to wait for next month to come to King Rui's mansion again, but when she heard that Gu Qingwan was injured, she hurriedly sent a post. Xie Ningxin was genuinely concerned about Gu Qingwan's injury, and did not pay any attention to the specific matters of the day.

Gu Qingwan answered them one by one, and Xie Ningxin talked with her for a while, and then said that she was going. It turned out that if Hu Yinxiang passed the test, he would have to go to the test in one go, and it would only be half a year later, so the two of them did not move out of the village.

After the township test, Hu Yin spent most of the rest of his time asleep except for eating, and Xie Ningxin was not at ease, so he had to rush back as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Gu Qingwan didn't force it, sent Xie Ningxin away, turned around and sent someone to the outer courtyard to inform Zheng Rui.

Since Gu Qingwan learned about Zheng Rui pretending to be stupid, Zheng Rui not only made Gu Qingwan happy and made Gu Qingwan angry, but also unconsciously restrained his words and deeds on weekdays. And Xie Ningxin and Zheng Rui are old acquaintances, if the two meet, Zheng Rui will have to pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of Xie Ningxin.

Therefore, when he learned that Xie Ningxin was coming to the mansion, Zheng Rui got Gu Qingwan's permission as soon as possible and went to the outer courtyard to avoid trouble.

Although Bao Tian went to the outer courtyard to reply, Zheng Rui didn't return to Wanjuan Hall until he was about to knock on the second watch. Gu Qingwan didn't like to go to bed early when she first came, but gradually she got used to it, and when she knocked on the first watch, she washed up and half-leaned on the bed to read the past years.

Although everyone knows that Lord Rui is not mentally complete, there are a lot of copies that should be sent to King Rui's mansion, and now it is just cheaper than Gu Qingwan. She didn't have the opportunity to see these when she was in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, but in the Ruiwang Mansion, she could see which year she wanted, but she could adjust the volume at will.

As soon as Gu Qingwan put down the copy and was about to rest, she saw Zheng Rui enter the house with the curtain open, so she frowned and asked, "But something is delayed?" ”

Zheng Rui glanced at Gu Qingwan, and then responded: "There is something." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Gu Qingwan call the maid who was keeping vigil outside to fetch water to come in, and the rest of the words were swallowed in his stomach.

When Zheng Rui came out of the clean room, he saw Gu Qingwan rolling up a brocade quilt and sleeping a little dazed. Zheng Rui muttered a sentence and chuckled to himself, and then gently lifted the quilt.

The cuffs of the middle coat were spacious, and Zheng Rui did not alarm Gu Qingwan, so he rolled up the sleeve of Gu Qingwan's left hand, revealing an arm as white as jade. It's just that there is a wound on the outside that is more than three inches long, and because the wound is too deep and long, the scab on the surface has not all fallen off. Against the backdrop of white skin like clotted fat, this black scab is very hideous.

Zheng Rui stared at the wound for a while, during which his face changed several times, and finally sighed, and took out a small blue-green jade bottle from his arms, scooped out a little thing from it, and evenly applied it to the wound.

Gu Qingwan was awakened by the cold touch of her arm, and saw Zheng Rui with her head down, concentrating on applying medicine to her.

She was still a little sleepy, so she muttered: "I have been drugged before going to bed." ”

"I know ······" Zheng Rui replied casually, but the movements in his hands did not stop at all.

Gu Qingwan wanted to say something, but in a blink of an eye, she saw the emerald jade bottle held by Zheng Rui in her hand, but it was a little different from the previous one, and she couldn't help but look at it twice.

"It's muscle-building cream." Seeing Gu Qingwan staring at the small bottle in her hand, Zheng Rui replied with understanding.

Gu Qingwan was a little stunned for a while.

Muscle cream is a tribute from the Southwest Domain, not only can it get rid of scars, but also the traces of old wounds, which is still something that Gu Qingyan inadvertently mentioned. Just because the main medicine of the nine-leaf red lotus is very rare, the year is not enough, the effect is not enough, and it is only a few bottles in a few years, and the most popular thing is naturally in the hands of Queen Chen.

It's not that Gu Qingwan didn't have the idea of this muscle-building cream, but the last bottle was rewarded by Queen Chen to Princess Huihe, and the matter of pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth still needs to be thought about. Fortunately, the wound was still covered by clothes, but Gu Qingwan didn't mind it so much.
