On the east side of the Warm Wind Pavilion, Gu Xuesong and Gu Huaiteng sat together, chatting and drinking tea.

Gu Xuesong smiled faintly and said, "I didn't expect that I would come back so coincidentally this time, just in time for your happy event." ”

Gu Huaiteng scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Gu Xuesong lowered his head and asked, "Did you see that girl just now?" I see you like that girl very much. ”

Gu Huaiteng's face turned red instantly, and he whispered, "Sixth Uncle, don't make fun of me......"

Gu Xuesong didn't give up: "Auntie just asked you to go and ask for peace, this should be the first time you have seen that girl, right?" ”

Gu Huaiteng nodded.

Gu Xuesong pretended to be ridiculous and asked, "That girl was born like that, and it disturbed that you were all about that girl in your heart, right?" ”

Gu Huaiteng even turned red at the tips of his ears.

On the west side of the Warm Wind Pavilion separated by a long verandah, the ladies of the Gu Mansion were talking and enjoying the scenery with the guests from the Ning family, and from time to time there was a loud or low laughter, like a light breeze blowing the pond water. At this time, Ning Ningqing said something, and her voice was transmitted to the east side with the breeze, although it was vague but soft, and at this moment, Gu Huaiteng's neck turned red.

"Fifth brother! You're shy! Gu Huailang jumped out of nowhere, pulled his neck and shouted, "Fifth brother, weren't you still talking to the Ning family on the west side just now, why are you so shy?" It's like a big girl! ”

Gu Huaiteng hurriedly said, "Don't ...... Don't talk nonsense......"

Gu Huailang grinned: "That sister of the Ning family was born as beautiful as a fairy, more beautiful than our sisters, fifth brother, are you satisfied?" ”

Gu Huaiteng hung his head, clasped his hands, and whispered, "Full ...... Satisfied, it's just that I don't deserve ......"

Gu Huailang, who was jumping up and down, patted his chest and said, "Fifth brother won't be unworthy!" The fifth brother is just rich! Besides, the door of the Ning family is not high, and the reason why our family looks down on the sister of the Ning family is because the sister of the Ning family is good-looking! If the sister of the Ning family was not born like this, she would not marry into our family! ”

Gu Huaiteng hurriedly covered Gu Huailang's mouth and whispered, "Eighth brother!" Other...... Don't talk nonsense......"

"I'm telling the truth!" Gu Huailang said with a stiff neck, and then turned his head and asked Gu Xuesong: "Sixth uncle, tell me, is what I said very reasonable?" ”

Gu Xuesong said lightly: "Okay, don't mess with your fifth brother." ”

Gu Huailang pursed his lips, didn't dare to mess around anymore, rolled his eyes, and then asked Gu Xuesong: "Sixth uncle, there is still some time before you take office, you can stay in my house, will you accompany me more?" ”

Gu Xuesong smiled faintly and did not say anything.

Gu Huailang was unyielding: "Sixth uncle, today is the Begging Festival, we are going to sneak out to go shopping in the evening, you can go with us." ”

Gu Xuesong was helpless: "Don't think I don't know what the hell you have in mind." Are you thinking that if the third sister-in-law finds out, if I am here, the third sister-in-law will be embarrassed to say anything serious, and she will be embarrassed to punish you, right? ”

Gu Huailang smiled embarrassedly, and then said coquettishly: "Sixth uncle, you will accompany us." When you take office, you'll be very busy, and you'll have no time to play with me. ”

Gu Xuesong still didn't agree.

Gu Huailang's little baby had a broken mouth and began to chatter: "Sixth uncle, you will accompany us, maybe you will meet the sisters of the Ning family on the street at night." ”

Gu Xuesong's brows loosened slightly.

And Gu Huailang had already turned his head to look at Gu Huaiteng, and continued to joke about Gu Huaiteng: "Fifth brother, you also hope to meet the sisters of the Ning family, right?" Well, I'll go and ask, and ask them if they can't get out tonight, and where they'll go if they do! As soon as the words fell, Gu Huailang jumped to the west like a monkey.

Gu Huailang made a fuss and ran away, and only Gu Xuesong and Gu Huaiteng were left on the east side.

Gu Xuesong's eyes were a little gloomy, and he asked in a low voice, "Did the old lady set a date for you?" When? ”

Gu Huaiteng lowered his head and said, "It's still ...... It's not decided yet. Alas...... Anyway, since it's the old lady's opinion, it's up to the old lady to decide......"

Gu Xuesong raised his head suddenly, keenly aware of something, and couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Could it be ...... You didn't like that girl? But when you first saw the girl, your eyes were straight. ”

Gu Huaiteng waved his hand again and again: "That girl is naturally very beautiful...... It's just that ...... "Ningxia Qing is very beautiful, not inferior to Zhao Xiang'e, but Ningxia Qing has a sassy and sassy woman's demeanor, which is very different from Zhao Xiang'e's tactful and charming posture.

Gu Xuesong asked meaningfully: "Could it be ...... Do you already have someone else in mind? ”

"I ......" Gu Huaiteng hurriedly waved his hand, signaling Gu Xuesong not to say it, and then hung his head to his stomach, and said aggrievedly: "The person I look at doesn't pay much attention to me, and he doesn't look down on me......"

Looking at Gu Huaiteng's appearance, Gu Xuesong's eyes suddenly darkened, as if Gu Huaiteng's humble appearance had hooked out the hidden weakness in his heart, and asked casually: "Who is the woman you look at?" ”

Gu Huaiteng raised his head and looked at Gu Xuesong, as if he was a little hesitant to say it, and finally stumbled out: "Sixth uncle, if I tell you, you ...... Don't be angry...... The person I like, she is in Wan Yanfang. ”

Gu Xuesong was stunned for a moment, and then understood why Gu Huaiteng didn't want to say it just now, so he laughed and comforted: "Don't worry, I don't mind." ”

Gu Huaiteng was on the verge of amnesty, and the expression on his face was relaxed.

Gu Xuesong got up, leaned on the railing, looked at the lotus flowers by the pavilion, and said leisurely: "At your age, it is common to have a woman in your heart that makes you miss. ”

Gu Huaiteng was comforted, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Gu Xuesong's back, and said sincerely: "Sixth uncle, I really admire you, you have come to this day, and everyone else is impressed by you." I can't do it, I'm dull in talent, in this family, everyone looks down on me, only the young eighth brother is willing to play with me......"

Gu Xuesong looked back at Gu Huaiteng, and saw that Gu Huaiteng was no longer the shy appearance just now, but showed an extremely sincere annoyance and humility, Gu Xuesong couldn't help but darken his eyes, sighed, and patted Gu Huaiteng's shoulder with comfort.

On the west side of the Warm Wind Pavilion, Mrs. Gu sent away her daughters, and glanced at Ningxia Qing again, and Mrs. Ning immediately understood and asked Ningxia Qing to take Zi'er to play.

Ning Xia Qing understood that the reason why Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Ning, and Cao drove everyone away was because they were going to start talking about Ning Ningqing's lifelong events, and when they thought of this, Ning Ningqing's smile gradually faded.

Ningxia Qing took Zi'er to wander in the Gu family's garden, and met several girls from the Gu family, who were playing together, and saw Ningxia Qing and Zi'er coming over, some smiled and talked to the two sisters, some nodded perfunctorily, and then turned their heads and left, and some said hello, and then found an excuse to go back to the room, in short, in the end, only Ningxia Qing and Zi'er were left alone.

Zi'er tugged at Ning Ningqing's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you really want to marry here?" ”

Ningxia Qing asked softly, "What?" You don't want your sister to marry here? ”

"Hmm." Zi'er's little head nodded, and then she whispered: "I think that no matter what people here do to us on the surface, they actually look down on us, and if my sister marries, she will be bullied." ”

Ningxia Qing smiled and said nothing.

Zi'er chattered: "Sister, I heard from my grandmother that my sister hasn't decided yet, so I'm just here to have a look today." In that case, don't say yes, sister, I don't want my sister to marry here. ”

Ning Ningqing's eyes darkened, and he didn't know how to answer, so he pointed not far away and said, "Look at this Gu Mansion's garden, it's really fun, there are even little rabbits!" ”

Zi'er's frustration was swept away, and her little head suddenly shook left and right: "Little rabbit!" Where are the bunnies? ”

"It's right behind that clump of flowers, like a cotton ball, it's still moving, see?" As soon as Ning Ningqing's voice fell, Zi'er was already like an arrow off the string, and her calf ran towards the little rabbit upside down.

Ning Xia Qing looked at Zi'er and ran to the rabbit's side, the rabbit was obviously used to contact with people, and was not afraid at all, Zi'er was about to stretch out her little hand to touch it, and the rabbit was still chewing the grass in his mouth unconsciously.

"Pretty sister!" Gu Huailang suddenly jumped out from the side!

Zi'er was startled, and Gu Huailang had already jumped in front of Zi'er and asked triumphantly, "Is my little rabbit very attractive?" ”

Zi'er stood still, frightened and stupid.

Gu Huailang asked briskly, "Do you want to touch it?" ”

Zi'er looked at Gu Huailang, and then at the little rabbit, obviously extremely entangled, after being entangled for a while, Zi'er pouted and nodded timidly.

Gu Huailang generously gave the little rabbit to Zi'er, and when Zi'er stretched out his little hand, Gu Huailang also stretched out his thief's hand and stretched out to Zi'er's fluffy little head. ”

Ning Xia Qing followed the sound and saw the man in a plain robe, like a white cloud rolling in the sky, coming.

The moment she saw Gu Xuesong, Ning Ningqing's mood was extremely complicated. This man was saved by her, and it was an amazing feeling to see the person she saved standing in front of her.

"Gu Gongzi." Ningxia Qing stood up and saluted.

Gu Xuesong's smile was meaningful: "I didn't expect Miss Ning to be in this garden, but it was a coincidence, there was something in the next place, and I wanted to ask the girl." ”
