Thinking of this, Tong Yuqing had a smile on her lips, "What Uncle said is extremely true. ”

With her attitude, Lu Tiansheng's tone was much softer, "Your parents have gone, and I can't personally prepare for the wedding for you, so I have asked the Gu couple to do it for them, preparing five ceremonies for Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, and asking for the date, among the six ceremonies, only one is a personal greeting, Puxi's personal welcome is not quite the same as Pudong, and it is not the groom who personally goes to his mother's house to welcome the bride." The specific etiquette, the Gu family will clarify with you. Today, Yang Hao will escort you to Ningtai Gu's house, and on the 16th will be a gift of personal welcome, on the 17th of the ceremony of becoming a woman, and on the 18th of the antique system, and behead Qiu Zeyuan and Yiyou at the abandoned city, such an arrangement...... Are you satisfied? ”

Ginger is still old and spicy! The difference between marriage and funeral made all the initiative in his hands.

Tong Yuqing's heart was desolate, but her face was as smiling as a flower, and she said: "Uncle's arrangement is very proper, I'll go pack up and set off for Ningtai." ”

Lu Tiansheng said to Yang Hao again: "Protect Miss Tong, if there is anything wrong, I will only ask you!" ”

Yang Hao said solemnly: "Yes! The subordinates are determined to send Miss Tong to the Gu Mansion safely, please rest assured that the Overseers will not worry. ”

Tong Yuqing returned to the room, and Miao Wen asked, "Miss, is there anything wrong with the Overseer?" ”

Tong Yuqing shook her head, "Sister Wen, you help me pack my luggage, I'm going to Ningtai Gu's house to get married." After that, you will go back to Jindu with the Overseers, and you won't have to run with me, and we will see you in Jindu. ”

Miao Wen was about to refuse, but Tong Yuqing said again: "There is nothing more important now than finding Tong Baiyi, you are doing me a favor by checking his whereabouts, and you don't have to worry about other small things." ”

Miao Wen was afraid that she would show any more traces, so she had to promise Tong Yuqing to return to Jindu......

The cold wind blowing through the bones seemed to turn into silver needles on the body, piercing the fragile bone veins at once, and the pedestrians on the street wished to turn themselves into hedgehogs, with a hard shell that could withstand the wind and frost.

The woman in the car dressed in a plain white velvet coat saw the goose-feather snow falling endlessly from the gray sky, and sighed: "No wonder the people of Pingqiao have a difficult livelihood, summer drought and winter snow, and none of them can escape here." ”

The man sitting in front of her didn't know what the weather was like in Pingqiao in previous years, but seeing the snowfall, it was speculated that the woman was right, "Natural and man-made disasters, the people have always been unavoidable." ”

"Listening to General Yang's words, it seems to be quite touching?"

"I don't have such a good fortune as Miss Tong. I was born in troubled times, and I was an orphan since I was a child, and if it weren't for the Overseer's appreciation, I would have starved to death long ago. ”

Being born as a human being has never been something you deserve. The good or bad circumstances are compared with others, and the misfortune in one's own eyes may be a blessing in the eyes of others.

Tong Yuqing said, "The Overseers don't appreciate anyone for no reason, you are indeed brave and resolute, and you are loyal to the Overseers. ”

Although Yang Hao is a martial artist, he has been by Lu Tiansheng's side for many years, and he can still hear whether the person who speaks is intentional or sincere, "Miss Tong is also capable of bending, sincere and filial, different from other beautiful and unpretentious women." Say a word of arrogance, the second young master is generous, benevolent, and filial, gentle and elegant, and you are a match made in heaven. ”

Tong Yuqing smiled faintly, and then said: "We still have a lot of dry food with us, what do you think about sending the surplus dry food to the official office?" ”

Yang Hao smiled and said: "I have this intention, and I don't know how to open my mouth to Miss yet...... Saying that, Yang Hao has already seen the door of the official office, "Miss Tong, then I will send the dry food in, and you will wait in the car." ”

Tong Yuqing bowed his head, and Yang Hao said to the soldier who was driving: "Protect the good lady." ”

As soon as Yang Hao left, a beggar came over and knocked on Tong Yuqing's car window......

The soldier's driving voice swept away Tong Yuqing's shock, and she hurriedly said, "It's okay, you don't have to drive him, you go to the trunk and get him something to eat." ”

After the soldier got out of the car, Tong Yuqing could no longer hide her shock, and asked in a low voice, "Are you crazy?" ”

The man's eyes were not frightened and his heart was not beating, "I will go to the hotel where you are staying to find you at the beginning of the morning tonight, you find a way to take these people away in advance, otherwise I will break in openly, and everyone will die together." ”

When he had said this, the soldier had already brought the bread to him, and he pretended to be the same, took the bread and took a big bite, and went back to the place where he had begged and squatted down.

Tong Yuqing was so angry that she couldn't speak, but there was nothing else she could do. The revenge has not been avenged, and she can't entangle with him anymore, so she can only make a decision tonight.

In the evening, Tong Yuqing drunk Yang Hao and the soldiers who escorted her in the name of comfort, and she also drank a lot, but fortunately, she had already refined a thousand cups of not drunk body, and she would not be delirious.

She returned to her room, watched the quicksand slide down, and counted the time that had passed, until there was a few knocks on the door, and she came back to her senses and whispered, "Come in." ”

Bai Qiaoxuan was dressed as a waiter, looking tired, and now it was even darker, obviously he hadn't slept well for several nights.

Tong Yuqing was almost out of breath when she saw his haggard appearance, and the words of despair that she had prepared countless times were difficult to say. She closed her eyes, not daring to look at him again, afraid that if she looked at him again, the defense line she had worked so hard to build would collapse, she used all her reason to suppress the fire in her heart that was naturally ignited by her feelings, stabilized her tone, and asked coldly: "What is the matter with me?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan's lips were full of smiles, the spirit between lovers did not need to be maintained in words, what she was thinking, he couldn't be clearer.

"I thought many things before I came, were you angry, rejoicing, or calm as you are now at my unsightly behavior? You are really still you, the Tong Yuqing who can be calm no matter what happens. I have thought about how to answer your anger, joy or peace, but now I don't know how to answer. ”

Tong Yuqing was silent, she was afraid that it would be an irreparable mistake to open her mouth, Bai Qiaoxuan smiled again, "Actually, I also guessed that it is very likely that I risked my life to come this time in vain." In your heart, nothing is more important than your parents and family, but since I have met you, I still have to ask, if I want you to leave with me now, will you agree? ”

Tong Yuqing's hand hidden in his sleeve trembled faintly, and he was silent for a long time. The fine sand on the side is still dripping and sliding, not waiting for half a minute for the footsteps of the world......

Bai Qiaoxuan's smile was flawless, and he gently dropped two words, "Farewell." ”

"Second lady, is this okay?" The man standing on the stool asked in a loud voice.

"Half an inch further to the left, half an inch is fine!" The woman who shouted was dressed in a soft satin fleece coat embroidered with butterfly patterns in the color of Akane, and a black cloak on the outside. She stared at the man's hand without blinking, and was about to say "stop" but was suddenly hugged from behind, she screamed in surprise, and the person behind her laughed proudly, "Auntie, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed." ”

She slapped the man's hand hard and scolded: "Stinky boy, it's so big that you haven't been in shape yet, and you still don't let go?" When your father sees you, he peels you off! ”

The man laughed again, "It's just that I know that my father is not there, so I dare to blatantly scare my aunt in public......" As he said, he looked at the people around him, "You, and you, are not allowed to sue." ”

The little guy who was familiar with him smiled: "Then the eldest young master has to think carefully about how to block the mouths of so many of us." ”

He laughed and scolded, "Huh? I said I didn't see you for a few months?! ”

The little guy was obviously not afraid, and raised an eyebrow at him.

"Look, you don't have a serious appearance on weekdays, and even your subordinates don't take you seriously. You......" The woman twisted his arm, and he cried out in pain, "Now your father is not in the house, but he will be back soon, are you still like this?" ”

He immediately put away his smiling face, and handed a piece of gold to the person standing on the stool who was sticking the word "Xi", "Steward Luo, you will give these to them later......" As he spoke, he turned to look at the people who were covering their mouths and snickering, "Don't laugh, save people's lives!" ”

He helped the woman to sit down and rubbed her shoulders diligently, "Auntie......

The woman sighed, "Well, when did my aunt tell your father that you didn't say a word?" ”

He smiled, "Auntie loves me the most!" ”

The woman gave him a blank look, "You know, why don't you sit down?" My aunt has to decorate the hall. ”

He asked, "Mother has left this marriage to you to take care of?" ”

The woman looked at the red silk on the beam and said, "Hasn't it been like this for so many years?" Except for some major events on the scene, when did your mother take care of the affairs in the house, didn't I ask? ”

He laughed and sighed: "Yes, with you, mother only needs to enjoy Qingfu, it's really hard for you." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a small servant rushing to report, "Second lady, eldest young master, master has returned home." ”

He lowered his head and straightened his shirt, and then asked, "Auntie, there's nothing wrong with me, right?" ”

The woman couldn't help but feel amused when she saw his nervous appearance, and mocked: "It's your father who wants to see, and you are not an outsider, why are you so like a great enemy?" ”

He muttered: "It's not that I'm afraid that I won't be able to get into the eyes of his old man, and I will be beaten ......."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a deep and mellow voice coming from outside the Hanging Flower Gate, "Do you still know that you are unorthodox?" ”

He bowed his head weakly, wishing that his father could not find himself among the crowds, and heard others shouting in unison, "I have seen the master." Then he saluted: "I have seen my father." ”

He watched the long shadow stretch towards him little by little, and his heart beat faster and faster, just as he was about to kneel down to plead guilty, the shadow leaned to the side, and then a gentle voice sounded, "Get up, when I came in, I saw that the main entrance had been arranged, thank you." ”

The woman was as respectful as ever, "The lord is polite, this is a matter within the status of a concubine." ”

"Go down first."

When he heard this, he was like a pardon, and he bowed and retired like everyone else, but unfortunately he heard the sentence "Weiqing stays." ”

He trembled in fright, maintained a bowed posture, did not dare to get up, let alone raise his head.

Time passed inch by inch, and he felt that his hands were stiff and his waist was sore, but his father did not have the slightest intention of letting him get up, he looked at his aunt for help, and the woman called out tentatively, "Master, ......"

Gu Huaijue continued to sip the tea, without even lifting his eyelids, until he felt that his waist was about to break and his body couldn't stop shaking, Xi Yiling finally couldn't help but beg: "Master, let Weiqing get up, the child knows it's wrong." ”

Gu Huaijue looked at her, with a faint smile on his lips, "Really?" ”

Xi Yiling hurriedly gave Gu Weiqing a look. Father's wrist, Gu Weiqing has been taught since he was a child, and he knows that he is afraid that there will be more sins if he is not soft, and he thinks that the hero will not suffer the loss in front of him, he hurriedly said: "Yes, the child knows that he is wrong, he shouldn't go home for so long, let his father, mother and aunt remember it." ”

Gu Huaijue narrowed his eyelids slightly, and said slowly: "Oh...... You're wrong about that......"

Gu Weiqing could only continue to admit his mistake, "The child has been wandering outside, and he can't spread the branches and leaves for the Gu family, nor can he share his worries and relieve his father, it's the child's unfilial piety." ”

Xi Yiling also helped on the side, "Master, although Wei Qing is casual, he also knows how to be measured, and he has never done anything out of the ordinary." If you order him to come back, won't he come back? The child still has filial piety, so you can spare him once. ”

Gu Huaijue sighed softly: "Mother is so defeated, he is used to you and your sister!" I haven't said anything yet, you are distressed like this, how can he become a weapon? ”

Xi Yiling saw Gu Huaijue complaining, but his expression was not as gloomy as Fang Cai, and motioned to Gu Weiqing to ask for it again, Gu Weiqing was also clever, and said softly: "Father, if you have anything to call me back, I will definitely do it for you, and I will not let you lose your dignity." ”

Gu Huaijue didn't want to delay the business, so he asked, "My beloved fiancée wants to come to my Gu family to get married, do you know this?" ”

Gu Weiqing said: "Of course I know, this is too outrageous, that woman has not yet come out of the filial piety period to do a happy event, Uncle Lu is so anxious and not afraid of getting angry, what kind of woman Ziting is looking for can't find it?" ”

Gu Huaijue was so angry that he slapped the table, "Shut up!" Look at what you hear, this is what you call knowing the proportion, not out of line! ”

Xi Yiling was also angry that the fire that she had finally extinguished was easily lit by Gu Weiqing, and scolded: "Weiqing, have you been crazy outside for too long and forgotten your identity?" Is it the overseer that is outrageous and unlucky? Also, have you forgotten the rules of this house? There has always been only Lu Jingzhi in the Gu Mansion, and there is no Qing Ziting, don't you know that the Overseers don't like to hear their son call him by his surname? ”

Although Gu Weiqing was very unconvinced, in order not to beg for a beating, he still bowed his head and pleaded guilty.

Gu Huaijue said fiercely: "If I hear you slander the Overseer again, and call the name Qing Ziting at home, see if I don't expose your skin!" ”

Xi Yiling said softly: "Master, you are dissipated, don't you still have something serious to tell Weiqing?" ”

Gu Huaijue took a sip of tea and said, "Tong Yuqing doesn't have a brother, I came back to you because I wanted you to pretend to be her brother......

Before Gu Huaijue finished speaking, Gu Weiqing asked, "Huh?" Do you want me to take care of the bride price? I...... I won't either......"

Gu Huaijue was annoyed when he saw his unproductive appearance, "Of course I didn't expect you to achieve any big things, the bride price is all handled by your aunt and Wei Wei, you just need to pretend to be her brother, carry her to the sedan chair, and then send the sedan chair with Wei Hong, you should be able to do this little thing, okay?" ”

Gu Weiqing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I can do it well, my father can rest assured, I am the best at protecting beautiful women." ”

As soon as the words fell, Gu Weiqing realized that he had said the wrong thing again, but fortunately, Xi Yiling reacted quickly and told Gu Huaijue that his sister had something to discuss with him, so that Gu Weiqing avoided another catastrophe.

After Gu Huaijue left, Xi Yiling picked up Gu Weiqing's ears, "It's okay if you are full of women outside, when you return home, you don't know how to restrain in front of your father, are you tired of living?" It's just that you're tired of living, so I have to worry about it with you, a little ancestor, your aunt is already an old person, and she can't stand your scare. ”

Gu Weiqing bared his teeth and cried out in pain again and again, "Auntie, I'm wrong, wrong......"

Xi Yiling let go of him and said, "Why don't you go back to the room to change your clothes?" I'll see your mother later. That Tong Yuqing will arrive tomorrow, you give me a hundred thousand points of spirit to deal with it carefully. There are no outsiders today, I don't care about you, if you are as open-mouthed as you are today, and you lose your face in front of outsiders, not only your father, but I will not let you go, do you hear? ”

Gu Weiqing rubbed his ears and said aggrievedly, "Yes, aunt." ”

At noon the next day, Tong Yuqing arrived at Ningtai Gu Mansion under the escort of a group of soldiers, a ray of sunshine shone on her, making her feel the long-lost warmth in the long winter, and Steward Luo, who had been waiting outside for a long time, stepped forward to salute, "Miss Tong, here is the housekeeper of the house, the master is waiting for you in the living room, please come with me." ”

Tong Yuqing smiled and nodded, and Yang Hao said to the soldiers behind him: "I'll just go in with Miss Tong, you can wait outside." ”

Tong Yuqing walked while looking at the carved beams and jade bricks in the mansion, compared with the golden splendor of the Jindu Overseer's Mansion, the Gu Mansion was even more small and exquisite. Another point, Tong Yuqing didn't know if it was her own delusion, she felt that although the Overseer's Mansion was magnificent and majestic, it was lifeless, and although this Gu Mansion was small, it was full of vitality.

Looking at the birds that stopped everywhere in the courtyard, Tong Yuqing unconsciously let go of the burden in her heart and smiled sincerely.

"Master, Miss Tong brought it." Steward Luo's voice pulled Tong Yuqing out of her joy, she looked at everyone in the hall, the man in the middle was wearing a dark ink and auspicious cloud pattern robe, his face was not angry, and the eyes under the sword eyebrows were bottomless. The woman who lived in the middle with him was dressed in a red sandalwood gold and lotus flower brocade dress, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a gentle smile seemed to make people forget their worries. Beside her stood a woman in a purple embroidered butterfly pattern brocade sweater, which, like her, was unforgettable. On the left side of the three of them are three men and one woman, the man at the head is more beautiful than any man Tong Yuqing has ever seen, his beauty is even above Qiu Zeyuan, but the laziness and casualness revealed between his gestures makes his temperament unrivaled Qiu Zeyuan. The man sitting under him has gentle eyebrows and a smile, not as beautiful as the former, but it is comfortable and reassuring. The girl sitting in the third place looked like the youngest of the four, wearing a goose yellow color embroidered phoenix pattern soft satin dress that made her playful and cute, but although she smiled, Tong Yuqing couldn't feel her happiness. The man at the bottom of the throne has a slender posture, resolute eyebrows, and is as calm as a mountain, but at a young age, he is as moody and intimidating as the man above the main throne.

Tong Yuqing respectfully bowed to the people above the main seat, "Tong Yuqing greets Master Gu, Mrs. Gu, and Second Lady. ”

Xi Yiqian personally stepped forward to help Tong Yuqing, "Hurry up, you don't have to make this big gift." You can call me aunt now, and when you get married, you can call my uncle and uncle with your beloved son. ”

Tong Yuqing replied: "Yes, Aunt Gu." ”

Yang Hao saluted everyone present after Tong Yuqing, "Yang Hao has seen Master Gu, Mrs. Gu, Second Lady, Grand Young Master, Second Young Master, Miss, Third Young Master. ”

Gu Huaijue said: "No courtesy, it's hard work to escort Miss Tong to the house safely." ”

Yang Hao said respectfully: "It's all the credit of the brothers, and the prefect's praise, Yang Hao is ashamed." ”

Gu Huaijue nodded approvingly, "Steward Luo, take Vice General Yang and all the soldiers to rest." ”

"Yes, sir."

After Yang Hao left, Xi Yiqian took Tong Yuqing's hand and said, "Come, I'll take you to meet my children." This is the dog Weiqing, the preface is the eldest son, on the eldest and youngest, you should call him the eldest brother. ”

Tong Yuqing just wanted to see the ceremony, but was stopped by Xi Yiqian, "Don't worry, wait for me to introduce them one by one, it's not too late for you to greet each other again." ”

Gu Weiqing saw that her mother's eyes had been staring at her when she said this, and she knew that she was worried that she was being rude, so she had to cheer up and deal with these false courtesies.

Xi Yiqian saw that Gu Weiqing finally sat up straight, so she continued to say to Tong Yuqing: "This is the dog Weiwei, the second son, you can call the second brother." This is the little girl Wei Yan, you can call her little sister. This is my sister's Wei Hong, the preface is the youngest son, now you call him the third brother, and after you get married, just call him the third brother with your son. ”

Tong Yuqing first saluted Wei Qing, Wei Wei, and Wei Hong, and then saluted Wei Yan, and after the four of them returned the salute, Xi Yiqian pointed to the position on the right side of the main seat and said, "Sit down." ”

Although there is no distinction between east and west in Puxi Prefecture now, Tong Yuqing knows that according to the old rites of Puxi, the right is the honored seat, she does not dare to be rude, but she thinks of the intention of the master who came to the door for the first time, but she is disrespectful, and she refuses and sits down.

Gu Huaijue said: "You come to the house today, rest tomorrow, and welcome you the day after tomorrow." The Overseers are kind, and all ceremonies are prepared according to the highest etiquette in Puxin Prefecture, and you will not be wronged in the slightest. ”

Tong Yuqing smiled dumbly, where is this prepared for her? It's all for his son, but as a father, there's nothing wrong with it, as long as she can get revenge, she can do anything.

"Yes, thank you Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu for your work for Yuqing's marriage, Uncle and Aunt Gu's kindness, Yuqing keeps it in mind, and he will repay it in the future."

Xi Yiqian smiled: "We don't want your repayment, as long as you take good care of Zhi'er in the future, it's a matter of our hearts......"
