I saw that he was dressed in a white military uniform with black edges, the soft armor on his body was semi-open, inlaid with silver, and he looked delicate and extraordinary, and a red forehead band was tied on his head, which was bright and bright, and his complexion was even more beautiful.

I haven't seen him for many days, his fair face has darkened slightly, and he is taller, handsome and masculine, and the big girls and little daughters-in-law around him have straight eyes, and several of them are full of peach blossoms, smiling and dizzy.

He was accompanied by several robes of the same costume, all of which were white and well-armoured—Xiao Gu recognized it at a glance: this was the standard attire of middle- and lower-ranking officers in the Beijing camp.

Jingying!

Her eyes froze slightly, and then she looked at him stupidly, as if she was very surprised.

"Stunned? Silly girl doesn't even recognize me? ”

A mellow and magnetic voice sounded, he left a few colleagues, strode to her side, looked at her with a smile, and pinched his little face casually-

"It's still so much black ash, don't you ever wash your face?"

It's still as poisonous and mean as before!

Xiao Gu opened his mouth wide and said almost stuttering: "Second, second young master, how dare you still appear?" The stewards of the outer court are looking for you everywhere! ”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but look outside, on the corner of Qianmen Street, the two little servants and carriages sent by Steward Wu to follow her were still waiting!

Guangsheng smiled slightly, his beautiful peach blossom eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he put his hand on her head, snoring and snoring, and his smile looked confident and domineering: "No matter who wants to arrest me in the Shen family, I am afraid that I will have to stand over and lie down." ”

Xiao Gu looked at the Xueliang saber, Xuantie bracer and cowhide soft armor on his waist, and couldn't help but nod in convincing.

She blinked, looking at everything on him with a curious and ignorant gaze, "Second Young Master, have you become a general?" ”

Such a childish question caused Guangsheng to chuckle, "Not yet, maybe someday in the future." ”

"I've seen the general in the play, he is majestic, and he can click whoever he wants...... Second Young Master, will you be so majestic in the future? ”

Guangsheng saw that her eyes flashed with excitement, and he pulled her braids angrily, "Who do you want to click?" You don't need to be a general, I'll take care of him for you first! ”

When Xiao Gu heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red, she lowered her head and was silent.

Guangsheng keenly found it, frowned and wanted to ask, but hesitated but changed the topic-

"What are you doing here?"

Xiao Gu raised a piece of food note in his hand, "Steward Wu sent me here to order food." ”

"Will the dignified Jining Hou Mansion even lack food?"

Coldly sneering, he glanced at the menu with a smirk.

Xiao Gu flattened his mouth, "The chef on the stove, Granny Lin, has slipped back to do a happy event, and now she can't find anyone." ”

As she spoke, her voice was hoarse, and tears flowed down her face.

"What are you crying about at every turn, people still think I have something wrong with you!"

Guangsheng said in a low voice with some embarrassment, looked around and saw that no one was looking here, so he simply took out a towel and wiped away her tears.

His handkerchief was cut from light silk, and a few tufts of flowers were embroidered on it, and it was evident that the embroiderer was not very careful, and the wash was white, and it would tear with a force—probably the only household item he had brought out when he fled in a hurry that day.

He wiped her tears vigorously and roughly, but found that the veil was dyed with a layer of black, and her face was still black, as if there was a thin layer of oil paint, and she was about to look carefully, but Xiao Gu squatted down and simply cried.

"What the hell is going on? You say! ”

Listening to the miserable cry, Guangsheng only felt dizzy, "Tell me what happened, can't I help you!" ”

Xiao Gu raised his head, and his palm-sized face showed a pitiful and stupid look like a puppy being abandoned, "Chu Lan, Chu Lan, she-"

She sobbed and said the matter, "That idiot nephew of Mrs. Lin's family is going to come to marry Chu Lan in the afternoon!" ”

Before Guangsheng could react, she suddenly dragged his sleeve, and her eyes full of admiration and hope were more like puppies, "Second Young Master, you are also an officer now, right?" ”

"Can you send someone to rob Chu Lan halfway?"

Now it was Guangsheng's turn to be dumbfounded.

****

After the soft and hard grinding made Guangsheng agree, Xiao Gu walked into Zhenweixuan, touched his sideburns, and inserted an orchid hairpin into his hair.

The wooden hairpin is simple and simple, but the orchid shape is beautiful and peculiar, and the green lacquer light is like glass, which looks very conspicuous.

After a while, a guy came up to greet him, and while looking at the menu, he whispered, "What do you have to say?" ”

"Do the young officers from the Beijing camp come often?"

"They just came down from the second floor and drank for two hours."

"I'm going to get up and drink here - next time they come back, I'll keep an eye on the handsome one in the middle."

Xiao Gu took the receipt handed by Xiao Er, and quietly commanded: "What they said and who they met, it is best to hear it clearly." ”

Seeing that the guy's face was embarrassed, she added quietly, "I have already heard of your special walls and screens, so I am not allowed to refuse!" ”

"Yes."

*****

After returning to the Shen Mansion, the big kitchen was already a mess of chickens and dogs.

Mrs. Lin was still nowhere to be seen, Steward Wu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he looked around, and saw that the blue terrier rice was steaming quickly, and he was about to get angry, but he saw Xiao Gu coming back with two small servants, carrying dozens of food boxes on top of each other, and he was immediately happy, "Hurry up, all ladies and ladies are in a hurry!" ”

Everyone knew that the Tao was powerful, and they divided the dishes and snacks, and hurriedly ran to the small courtyards of each master.

What was left after the last was a bowl of egg custard, ginkgo shrimp and a West Lake vinegar fish - the shrimp was already cold, and the fish was still leftover, and the skull was broken.

"Xiao Gu, you take the rest and send it to Miss Ruyao."

Steward Wu was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and he commanded without looking back.

Mother Qin suddenly threw down the steamer in her hand and hurriedly added, "I'll go with her." ”

Steward Wu coughed and said in displeasure: "When do you have to run around!" ”

Mother Qin raised her head and squeezed out a smile at him, showing more and more charm, "It's always a little sluggish to be so busy today, I'll explain it, Miss Ruyao has a good temper, and she will definitely not care." ”

Steward Wu sneered, "Even if she wants to take care of it, which master can she find to sue?" It's just a concubine, and it's a ...... in the next room."

A flash of anger flashed on Qin's mother's face, but she couldn't help herself, Steward Wu waved her hand, "If you want to go, go ahead, I know that you are loyal to the eldest lady in the forefront, but you should also recognize the situation!" ”

Mother Qin bent her knees slightly, pulled Xiao Gu and went to deliver the meal.

****

Passing through the north-south sandwich road, except for the main courtyard of the old lady in the center "Xuanrun Hall", the rest is divided into east and west, the courtyard on the east side is occupied by several young masters and young ladies in the second room, and the two three-entry courtyards in the west are the owners of the big house.

Miss Ruyao of the big house is entering the side courtyard at the back of the northwest.

As soon as you enter the courtyard gate, you will find that the blue bricks are paved, and the courtyard is quiet. Although some people tried their best to clean it, there were still many broken brick corners, and the pink and white of the corners of the walls had peeled off a lot, and even the doors looked dilapidated and could not see the bright lacquer color.

There was a little maid standing under the porch, very regular, seeing that lunch was finally delivered, she took it silently, but when she saw Qin's mother, her eyes became surprised.

"It's Mother Qin here!"

A girl's surprise came out of the room, and a big girl with a calm and ordinary face came out of the room, smiling and looking at Qin's mother, "Mom is here, we are all looking through the autumn water!" “

She glanced at Xiao Gu next to her, and her smile immediately narrowed slightly.

Mother Qin glanced at Xiao Gu beside her, wiped the sweat on her forehead for her, turned her head to the big girl and said, "Miss Qingyi, please say hello to the eldest lady for me." ”
