Gu Qingzhao sat quietly on the chair, sipping tea cakes, his eyes couldn't help but look around the room, and when his eyes swept over the window on the east side, he couldn't help but stop, and there was nothing bare outside the window.

He put down the unfinished pastry, walked to the window, poked his head out, and then his lips lifted slightly, as if he had thought of something, closed the window with both hands, and hurried out.

"Young Master, what are you going to do, wait for me." Seeing this, the little guy who was waiting outside hurriedly ran to follow.

After a while, Gu Qingzhao came again, but this time he and Sijiu came with a pot of begonia flowers, and moved them all the way to under the window just now, so that there was greenery and vitality, he smiled with satisfaction, and the brilliance in his eyes couldn't help but move.

Gu Qingwan didn't wake up until she woke up, and after waking up, Ziyu took a small bowl of red jujube black chicken soup that was warm on a small fire and sent it to her.

Zilan combed her hair and said, "Miss, Young Master Zhao came here just now, saw you resting, sat for a while, drank tea and ate some cakes and left." ”

Gu Qingwan nodded, took the porcelain bowl, and tasted it slowly, at this time, the wind was blowing, and the half-closed window was suddenly opened, she raised her eyes and looked out of the window, and was stunned-

I saw a pot of begonia flowers as far as her eye could see, the reddish-pink flowers swaying in the breeze, giving birth to a vibrant vitality, and after being awakened by a terrible nightmare, she felt an unprecedented comfort, and her whole heart was suddenly illuminated by the sun.

She couldn't help but put down the bowl and walked to the windowsill, where the faint fragrance of the flowers still floated.

"Did Young Master Zhao move it from his yard, or did he move it himself, and his clothes were dirty." Zilan said softly behind her.

Gu Qingwan couldn't help but show a faint smile on her face, once she was reborn, she was surrounded by people like wolves and tigers, only Gu Qingzhao was like a wisp of fresh wind, blowing her closed heart, she only hoped that she would protect his beauty in this life and not let his clear eyes be stained with dust.

"Miss, Master Hou sent someone to send a message to call you over." Gu Qingwan was looking at this pot of begonias in a daze, and the maid Mulan came over and said.

Gu Qingwan's eyes paused slightly, and the smile slowly disappeared from the corner of her mouth, as if she had guessed what her father was telling her when he called her over.

She glanced at the begonia flower again, and then asked Ziyu Zilan to accompany her to Gu Tianyuan.

Gu Tianyuan deliberately waited for her in the study early, and when Gu Qingwan came over, he raised his head and carefully looked at the daughter he had grown up with his pet.

"Father, is there anything you have to do with your daughter?"

Gu Qingwan will reach her fourteenth birthday in three months, she is now slim, both in appearance and body shape are seven points similar to her mother, he looked at her as if he saw his original wife Li, he remembered that when he first saw Li, she was only fourteen years old.

Gu Tianyuan retracted his gaze, remembered the purpose of calling his daughter over, and said thoughtfully: "Wan'er, in three days, your grandmother's fiftieth birthday." It's been a long time since you've been to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and your grandmother misses you very much, so you take this opportunity to follow your father to see her old man's house. ”

Sure enough, she always remembered her grandmother's birthday, but she didn't dare to visit her. Counting the time, she hadn't been to the Prime Minister's Mansion for five years, since that incident.

At this time in her previous life, her father also proposed that she follow him to celebrate her grandmother's fiftieth birthday, but she was afraid to go at that time, let alone have the face to go. She used to be a coward, but now she isn't.

Let her make up for the mistakes she has made now.

"I'll go." After a long silence, she spoke.

"Okay, since you don't want to go, my father won't force you to go." Gu Tianyuan nodded subconsciously as expected.

"Father, I said I was going to visit my grandmother." She raised her voice and said firmly.

Gu Tianyuan came back to his senses and looked at her in shock, not expecting her to go.

"Daddy, since it was her daughter's mistake, her daughter will make up for it herself, and Wan'er no longer wants to be a shrunken turtle who will only blindly avoid difficulties."

Gu Tianyuan touched his baby daughter's hair with some relief, and said with a smile: "Wan'er, you have really grown up." ”

Three days later, the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was held as scheduled. Gu Qingwan followed Gu Tian to the Prime Minister's Mansion to celebrate his birthday, the Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion were only separated by two streets, and they arrived in half an hour. From a distance, I saw the little servant in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion standing at the door, and when he saw their carriage with sharp eyes, he immediately ran in with a loud shout.

"Master Hou and Little Miss are here, go and tell the old lady!"

When the two got out of the carriage, a few decent mothers-in-law and stewards hurriedly greeted them with happy faces.

"It's Master Hou and Little Miss, please come in, the banquet will start in half an hour."

The mother-in-law who spoke was in her forties, her face was ordinary but with a hint of shrewdness, I saw that she was plump, and although the dark blue dress was simple, it could also be seen that it was good material. This person is the most decent housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the most trusted Mama Wang by Mrs. Li's side. When everyone in the house saw her, they would respectfully call Wang Ma.

"There's Lao Wang's mother leading the way." Gu Tianyuan greeted politely.

Although Gu Qingwan's biological mother Li went early, and Gu Tianyuan had already married Xu Xian, Gu Tianyuan was a person who valued love and righteousness, Li was the love of his life, and Prime Minister Li was an elder he respected, even if the Li family was gone at a young age, Gu Tianyuan was not estranged from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but visited him often.

Before that incident, Gu Qingwan often followed Gu Tianyuan to visit her maternal grandfather and grandmother in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even stayed for a few days, and every time she went, she stayed in her mother's former boudoir. Her grandmother really felt sorry for her, she felt sorry for her for losing her mother since she was a child, and her father was often not in the capital, she was afraid that Gu Qingwan would be bullied, so she often took her to the Prime Minister's Mansion and took care of her personally.

Under the leadership of Wang Ma, the group walked towards the main house of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Along the way, I passed through a few corridors, and I saw a delicate mansion, and there were already a few maids standing at the door. ”

"Come in, come in!"

A few people walked into the hall and saw two old men in their fifties sitting in the very spacious living room. The old man on the right has half a hundred hair, and his expression is full of kindness, but his eyes are extremely sharp, and he can see that he is a character.

This person is Li Shiqiu, the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now he is still the Prime Minister, with a high and powerful position, and even His Majesty has great respect for him.

The old lady next to him is also fifty years old, because she is well-maintained, she looks extraordinarily young, and between her eyebrows, you can vaguely see the beauty of the year.

Gu Qingwan just glanced at it lightly, her eyes turned slightly red, and when she saw her grandmother, she would immediately think of her mother. No matter how much she wanted to get closer, how much she wanted to throw herself into her grandmother's arms and cry, but she couldn't face it because of the estrangement of the events of the year.

Next to the old lady, there were a few concubines who looked to be elderly, but they were all dressed very decently, and they were Li Shiqiu's concubines. One of the concubines stood at the front, even though she was old, her pink face was white and charming, and her charm still existed. is extremely conspicuous in the concubines, and she is the most favored Aunt Tao.

Standing next to Mr. Li were men, ranging in age from high to low, his sons and grandchildren. Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, Gu Qingwan still remembered their voices and appearances. There is joy and bitterness in my heart.

The female dependents below the old lady are the daughters-in-law and granddaughters. Mr. Li has a total of six sons, two of whom are the eldest son-in-law, Li Shaokang, who is also in his thirties this year, and is currently serving as a waiter in the Criminal Department. The third master, Li Shaoqian, is walking in the palace, and is currently the leader of the Praetorian Guard, and they are Gu Qingwan's uncle.

The other four concubines, of which the second master Li Shaohua was born to Aunt Tao, he is currently the imperial doctor, from the third grade. The others were the sons of a few concubines, and there were no major achievements. There are only two daughters, the concubine is Gu Qingwan's mother Li Jingxuan, and the concubine is Aunt Tao's daughter Li Jingshan.

The wife of the eldest uncle Li Shaokang is the daughter of a famous family, named Fang. The Fang family is currently the head of the Li Mansion, and has two sons and a daughter, the eldest young master Li Yuanzhan, the second young master Li Yuanting, and the eldest lady Li Bingdie.

The second lady Lin is the wife of the second master and the daughter of a powerful family, and she also has two sons and a daughter under her knees - the third young master Li Yuanqi, the sixth young master Li Yuanliang, and the fourth young lady Li Bingxin.

The third lady Chen is from a scholarly family, and there are only the fifth young master Li Yuanshu and the second young lady Li Bingyu under her knees.

"Son-in-law to meet father-in-law and mother-in-law!"

Gu Tianyuan knelt down and saluted Old Man Li and Old Lady Li above the high hall. Gu Qingwan, who was following them, also knelt down and said, "Granddaughter Qingwan, greetings to my grandfather and grandmother!" ”

"Okay, good, good, get up!" Old Lady Li stroked her beard, glanced at Old Madam Li, nodded with satisfaction, and their eyes fell on Gu Qingwan, who was hanging her head down, and they both avoided their gaze intentionally or unintentionally, with complicated expressions.

This time, Mrs. Li's banquet came to many powerful families, most of whom were colleagues and family members who were good friends with Mrs. Li. Soon the banquet began, and the guests took their seats after congratulating the old lady on her birthday, and the male and female guests were seated separately. Gu Tianyuan and Prime Minister Li's sons accompanied Prime Minister Li, the daughter-in-law of the Li family accompanied Mrs. Li to watch the play, and the juniors went to find playmates who were good friends with their peers.

Several of Gu Qingwan's cousins got together and talked and laughed with the ladies of the family who were good friends with them, and almost no one was willing to take care of her.

Gu Qingwan didn't feel embarrassed, she had long expected that she would be treated coldly, she could only wait now, and when the banquet was dispersed and the outsiders were gone, she would go to her grandmother to apologize and apologize to her eldest cousin Li Yuanzhan.
