It was not the first time Gu Mengping had seen Xiao Wanyi, and it was not the first time he had spoken to her. But when I saw her this time, I was still a little surprised.

Xiao Wanyi couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw Gu Mengping greeting her outside the street gate. A pair of bright eyes narrowed into two crescents, and his voice as melodious as a silver bell was full of joy, "How can you welcome Brother Gu in person?" ”

As she spoke, she was helped out of the carriage by a maid. She was wearing a moon-white embroidered jacket, with a pretty and lively bun on her head, two corners of her forehead hanging down, and a Yang Fei-colored embroidered cotton skirt underneath. Slim and elegant, such as fragrant lotus.

Gu Mengping was stunned and hurriedly saluted.

And he invited her in.

Inside the door, Kamu stood to the side with his sleeve in his hand, with a happy smile on his face. Although Xiao Wanyi has a noble status, she and Yingsleeve are very cordial, and she has not put on any shelf of a daughter.

Seeing Jiamu, Xiao Wanyi's smile deepened, and she stepped forward to hold their hands, and the three of them instantly burst into laughter.

Jia Mu led her to meet Lao Anren.

After talking to Lao Anren, Xiao Wanyi found an excuse to go to the study.

"Brother Xiao, I'm here to apologize." As soon as Xiao Wanyi entered the door of the study, she made a big salute, which made Gu Mengping startled.

Gu Mengping hurriedly motioned to Jiamu to help her up, and asked Xiao Wanyi to sit on the chair before she spoke: "Where did the girl come from?" The girl has always taken good care of her sister and Ying Sleeve, how could she say something apologic? ”

Xiao Wanyi glanced at Jiamu and said euphemistically: "Originally, it was said that Brother Gongsun would set off back to Beijing at the same time as us, but there are too many things going on there. Now that I know that Brother Gongsun is on the road alone, I really can't help it. Zhang Daochang asked me to come to the house today to apologize! Xiao Wanyi said and bowed her head in the chair.

Back to Beijing? Jiamu was stunned when he said this! Gongsun is far from going back to Guangxi? How did you get back to Beijing? And didn't he go with the monk Rudeng ? Why did Xiao Wanyi say that she was alone?

She looked at Gu Mengping.

Gu Mengping smiled bitterly, and if he told a lie, he had to use countless lies to make up for it. How on earth should he explain to Jiamu why Sun Weizhan didn't go back to Guangxi to serve his illness, but ran away to the capital?

Thinking of this, he coughed and said, "Because Gao Tang is seriously ill, Brother Yuan really can't wait. Therefore, he didn't want to leave, not because he was angry, Miss Xiao and Zhang Daochang just had peace of mind. By the way......" Speaking of this, he changed his words, "I heard that you are going back to Beijing in the near future, can the date be set?" ”

Gu Mengping's words were full of loopholes, but Xiao Wanyi looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes wide open, and even more stumbled at what he said. Gu Mengping was old and serious, and his heart was calm, and his cheeks were also hot when he saw these clear eyes.

Don't look away.

"Yes, Zhang Daochang said the same. The Taoist chief said that there must be an emergency at home, and it is because of the grandson brother that he should not leave. Otherwise, with Brother Gongsun's character, how could he not even say hello? Listening to Brother Gu today, this is really the case. Xiao Wanyi's jaw said yes.

Gu Mengping's face turned even redder.

Xiao Wanyi didn't think about anything else, but when he was shy in the face of himself, he talked to Jia Mu about other things.

The two talked for a while, and the look on Xiao Wanyi's face became more and more gloomy.

Jia Mu hurriedly asked, "Miss Xiao, what's bothering?" ”

Xiao Wanyi sighed, her eyes involuntarily glanced at Gu Mengping, brushed the messy hair on her sideburns, and raised her eyebrows: "In five days, Daochang Zhang and I will return to Beijing together." This time, it was also because Grandmother Lin was in poor health, so I took care of my mother for a while. Now that Grandmother Lin's health is improving, it's time to return to Beijing. After speaking, Xiao Wanyi still looked at Gu Mengping.

Gu Mengping's heart was like a drum being beaten, beating violently twice.

The favor of the Xiao family is too strong, since Xiao Jinxuan's family affairs have been personally pointed out by the emperor, back then, he married the emperor's niece. Later, his daughter Xiao Ruijun married Changxing Hou Gao Kegang, and his son Xiao Chongnian married the daughter of Zhang Dali, the right servant of the Imperial Palace.

One is an idle waiter, and the other is an official without any real power. But these two families are inextricably linked to the royal family, and they belong to the noble family, the royal trusted family.

From far to near, Xiao Wanyi's relatives will definitely be married by the emperor in the future. Who told the Xiao family to be military generals for generations, guarding the northern frontier for the country? There are things that you can't think, shouldn't think, don't think. If he wants to take the road of the imperial examination and enter the court, he is destined to have no chance with her.

Gu Mengping took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the beauty in his heart. Gathering his mind, he turned his attention to the book in his hand.

Xiao Wanyi's face darkened, and then she smiled, "Sister Jiamu, I'm about to leave, I really can't bear it." I want to ask my sister and Brother Gu to go out of the city together tomorrow, just for me, I don't know what the two of you think? ”

What's so bad about that? Jiamu agreed immediately.

Gu Mengping originally wanted to say something different, but when he saw that his sister agreed, he could only acquiesce. has been filial piety for a year, and Jiamu only stepped out of the street door once, and was still invited away by Xiao Wanyi. She is in a bad mood these days, so she should naturally go out for a walk.

"That is fine, and I will call a carriage to pick you up early tomorrow morning. Remember to bring your sleeves......" Seeing that the two had agreed, the girl's mind flew again.

Seeing Gu Mengping bowing at her jaw again, the girl's heart was as sweet as eating a piece of honey.

Before dawn on the second day, the carriage of the Lin Mansion came to the outer third room.

Lao An already knew that the three children in the family would go out to play today, and strongly agreed, "Those who say that they can't go out and can't smile when they keep filial piety are all against their hearts." Parents need to love with their hearts, how can they mourn by mutilating their children's bodies? Laugh when you want, play when you need to. Your parents will be dumbfounded when they see you living so happily and happily in the Yellow Spring. Filial piety is placed in one's own heart, not pretended to be shown to others...... Go play! Miss Xiao treats you with sincerity, but you must not treat her with humility. ”

Saying so, but when they got into the carriage, Lao An still quietly instructed, "If someone mentions your parents on the road, just howl loudly, and you still have to pretend when you should pretend." ”

Gu Mengping and Jia Mu hung their heads.

Lao An smiled and waved his hand, urging the carriage to drive out of the city as soon as possible before dawn and when it was still dark, so as not to be seen.

But she was so careful, but she was still caught. When he turned around, the street door of the outer nine rooms was quietly opened halfway.

Gu Weimao's daughter-in-law poked out half of her head from inside, and said in a weird manner: "Yo, Lao Anren is sending his two grandsons out to play?" Since Sun Weizhan said that he was not familiar with Cuizhu, the relationship between the two families has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

Whenever she saw Lao Anren, Gu Weimao's daughter-in-law would tattoo those two sentences.

"What's playing? Doesn't Wei Mao's daughter-in-law know what solar term it is? The children went out of the city to worship their ancestors. Lao Anren smiled indifferently and turned his head and said, "My nephew and daughter-in-law are really interested, you get up to do housework before dawn?" What a blessing for Vimao! ”

Gu Weimao's daughter-in-law choked, although Qingming has passed, from the twenty-seventh day to the twenty-seventh of the next month, the ancestors can still be sacrificed.

She pursed her lips, not knowing what she was muttering, and slammed the door shut.

Lao Anren's face was gloomy.
