Chapter 57: Beating the Gong and Drum

It was already evening at the end of the chanting, and they could all go back to their mansions tonight, and when they left, the Queen Mother kept holding Shen Seventeen's hand, reminding her to enter the palace more to accompany her, and Shen Seventeen also kept nodding and saying that he would.

Back at King Mo's Mansion, Yi Qingwu was already waiting outside the door, and he was surprisingly polite to Shen Shiqi, and clinged to Gu Jinghuai coquettishly, "Lord Wang, Wu'er misses you so much!" Shen Qiqi listened to the cold on the side, touched his arms with both hands, and walked towards the Green Yang Pavilion without stopping.

After this worship, the days returned to their original state, and they were all right.

This year's New Year's Day is relatively late, and the New Year will only be celebrated in late February, but at the beginning of this month, preparations have begun to be made outside, lively and lively, beating gongs and drums, and a festive scene, Shen Seventeen noticed these on the way to worship this time.

Mowangfu was already preparing for the New Year, and the big red lantern was hung high again, which made Shen Qiqi feel uncomfortable when he thought of the scene when he got married, but he didn't like red anymore.

Since the last pilgrimage, Gu Jinghuai seems to have become even more unrestrictive to Shen Seventeen's freedom, she can enter and leave the Mowang Mansion at will, and she no longer needs to inform him.

Today, before Shen Seventeen had time to play anywhere, there was an uninvited guest who came to the door of Lord Mo, and the other party was looking for himself.

When Shen Qiqi heard Haitang tell her that it was Gu Lianfan, the seventh prince, she was still a little surprised in her heart, although they were quite able to chat that night, but it was not enough to have a deep friendship, and today, Gu Lianfan actually came to find herself, how could she not be surprised.

Although surprised, Shen Seventeen didn't dare not see each other, so he simply cleaned up and went to the lobby, and there, Gu Lianfan was chatting with Gu Jinghuai, although the two chatted not very happily, but the atmosphere was not bad.

Gu Lianfan suddenly turned his head, and saw Shen Seventeen, who was looking at him from afar at the door, and immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Third sister-in-law, long time no see." ”

"Long time no see."

Shen Qiqi smiled and responded politely, it seemed that they hadn't seen each other for a day, they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Third sister-in-law, look, I brought you something good today!" Gu Lianfan said, took out something from his arms, Shen Qiqi took a closer look, an egg-sized jade, look at the texture, the jade is smooth, shiny and shiny.

"This is the warm jade I found from the Fourth Brother's Mansion, and there are the most such things in his Mansion!" Gu Lianfan continued, completely ignoring that Gu Jinghuai was still present, and stuffed the warm jade into Shen Qiqi's hand, "You touch it, isn't it very delicate, it will feel a little cold at first, but it will warm up after you hold it for a long time, amazing, right?" At the beginning of Shen Seventeen, he felt that his palm was stuffed into the jade like an egg, which was cool, but after a while, the jade really became warm, and it was warm in his hand.

"This is for me?" Shen Qiqi held the warm jade and asked, why did the seven princes suddenly come to send him warm jade.

"That's right! Does the third sister-in-law like it? If you like it, I'll continue to bring it to you from the Fourth Brother's Mansion. ”

Forehead... All from the fourth prince Gu Lianting? Shen Qiqi looked at the piece of warm jade in his hand and felt embarrassed for a while, feeling that this seventh prince likes to give away other people's things?

"No need, the Seventh Prince's kindness has been comprehended, and the Seventh Prince's Seventh Prince, such a valuable thing, should be returned."

If Gu Lianting, the fourth prince who loved to collect rare treasures, knew that he had received his things, Shen Qiqi didn't dare to imagine what he would do to him when he came back.

"Huh? Why don't you like it again? Seeing that Shen Seventeen didn't want to, Gu Lianfan frowned, and then turned his head to look at Gu Jinghuai, "Third brother..."Gu Jinghuai had been ignored by those two people just now, and he was already uncomfortable in his heart, seeing Shen Seventeen rejecting Gu Lianfan's warm jade, for some reason, he felt better in his heart, and when he heard Gu Lianfan call himself, he pretended to continue drinking the tea in his cup, ignoring him.

"The third sister-in-law... You just accept it, I'm also kind, that night I saw that the third sister-in-law was also a person who was afraid of the cold, so I wanted to send warm jade to the third sister-in-law, I... I'm also kind......" The more Gu Lianfan spoke, the more aggrieved he became, and the more he spoke, the quieter his voice became.

That night? Shen Qiqi suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a thing, and later that night he shivered a few times because of the temperature drop, but he didn't expect Gu Lianfan to notice it, and he specially came over to give him this warm jade, Shen Qiqi felt a warm current in his heart, and his heart was warm, so he no longer refused.

Gu Lianfan saw that Shen Qiqi finally got his own gift, he was happy again, laughing like a child, and kept saying that he would send her something good when he saw it in the Fourth Brother's Mansion in the future, but Shen Qiqi shook his head and said no, after all, it is not a good act to give away other people's things, and she is not at ease when she receives them, not to mention that these are all valuable things, and she wants it even more.

Gu Jinghuai, who was drinking tea, was depressed, it turned out that she was with her seventh brother Gu Lianfan that night, and the relationship between the two became very good after one night! Seventh brother Gu Lianfan has never sent anything to himself! "Third brother, third brother!"

"What's wrong?" Gu Lianfan shouted Gu Jinghuai several times before Gu Jinghuai came back to his senses, put down the teacup, and asked.

"I'll stay for dinner later, the third brother doesn't mind."

"Don't mind."

It's just an extra pair of chopsticks, Gu Jinghuai doesn't mind.

But then they had a conversation, and Gu Jinghuai minded.

"Okay, third sister-in-law, let's go out, right now!"

"Okay, let's go."

The two of them directly ignored Gu Jinghuai and walked outside.

Are they out of the house? Gu Jinghuai asked in his heart, did he agree? But the man has gone far.

Shen Qiqi followed Gu Lianfan on the streets and alleys, the two are the same age, the most important thing is that the two have similar personalities, they can say whatever they like, they don't care about anything, and along the way, they talk and laugh.

Shen Seventeen took Gu Lianfan to the teahouse he used to go to to listen to gossip, and Gu Lianfan took Shen Seventeen to the casino to watch others gamble.

In the Mowang Mansion, Gu Jinghuai has always had a cold face, his angular face already gives people a cold feeling, but at this time, it is even colder, colder than the cold wind outside.

It's noon, it's time for lunch, and those two people haven't come back yet, looking for death! Yi Qingwu sat beside Gu Jinghuai and was so cold that he didn't dare to say a word, what happened to the prince today, who angered him again? The food had already been set on the table, and it was steaming all the time, but as time passed, the temperature of the food slowly cooled down, and the two men laughed and walked inside.

"Yikes! Third brother, you haven't eaten yet? Gu Lianfan looked at the table in front of Gu Jinghuai and asked.

Gu Jinghuai's face became even colder, who said that he would stay here to eat today!

"Ahh I remembered, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry third brother, third brother, in fact, the two of us have already eaten outside. ”

Gu Lianfan said apologetically, they felt hungry on the road, so they ate directly outside, but he didn't expect the third brother to be waiting for them, he suddenly felt sorry in his heart, and kept apologizing.

"Ehaha~~ It's okay, it's okay."

Shen Qiqi saw that Gu Lianfan had been apologizing and was busy playing a round, if she wanted to say this, she would also be guilty, she turned to Gu Jinghuai and said, "Lord Wang, this matter is not good for the concubine, please don't blame the seventh brother." ”

"No, third brother, it's me who is not good."

Gu Lianfan took the responsibility on himself, and both of them were in a hurry to take the responsibility on themselves, Gu Jinghuai's face was even worse, hum! Gu Lianfan had only known Shen Seventeen for a long time, so he defended her, this Shen Seventeen is really a good skill, so he let the seventh brother revolve around her so quickly.

"Okay, this king knows, you don't have to take responsibility for each other anymore."

The more he looked at the two of them like this, the more Gu Jinghuai felt irritable in his heart, when would this Shen Seventeen be able to treat himself like this, no! He's not unusual.

Gu Lianfan stayed until the afternoon before leaving the Mowang Mansion, and after Gu Lianfan left the Mowang Mansion, Shen Qiqi retracted into his Green Yang Pavilion and put the warm jade sent by Gu Lianfan into a small cabinet.

The next day, Shen XVII went out again.

Gu Jinghuai listened to the report of his subordinate Lan Mu in the study, "Lord, the princess is out of the house." ”

"Hmm."

On the third day, Shen Seventeen still went out.

Lan Mu continued to report to Gu Jinghuai, "Lord Wang, the princess is out of the house again. ”

"Where?" This time Gu Jinghuai asked, put down the pen in his hand, and he couldn't calm down.

"Teahouse."

"Wait for her to come back and inform her that she will enter the palace with this king tomorrow to visit the queen mother."

"Yes."
