The sun is getting bigger, the midday sun is very bright, and the awnings are set up during the banquet, and pots of ice cubes are lifted up, and occasionally a fresh breeze is very cool.

The ladies of the official family gathered together to talk, Gu Ziqing sat on the side alone, no one cared about it, and those who could be invited by the Liu Mansion were all powerful people, if the Gu family was not next to the Liu family's in-law relationship, I was afraid that she Gu Ziqing would not sit here.

I was bored when there was a commotion outside.

Tan took Liu Yanling from the side hall, followed by a large group of people behind him, and the old woman wearing a Fushou gown in the front was none other than Mrs. Liu.

Old Mrs. Liu greeted others as she walked, and the Tan family behind her pulled Liu Yanling to greet those ladies and ladies.

After sitting on the main seat, Mrs. Liu exchanged a few words with everyone, and then turned her head and asked, "Where is the Gu family's girl?"

Everyone looked at Gu Ziqing, she was also stunned, as if she didn't expect Mrs. Liu to call her name as soon as she came, so she immediately stood up and approached: "Old lady." ”

"Good boy, you're suffering. Mrs. Liu reached out and touched her forehead and asked, "How is it?"

The tip of Gu Ziqing's nose was sour, Mrs. Liu was the only person in the Liu family who was good to her, but this good must also be based on her marriage contract with the Gu family.

"It's much better, it doesn't hurt anymore. She replied obediently.

"It's okay, Zong Cheng has been worried about it these days, but now he can rest assured. Mrs. Liu said.

Tan hurriedly said: "No, seeing that Qingqing is okay, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief." ”

Gu Ziqing nodded and smiled, and asked the green calyx to bring the gift over and said: "Let the old lady worry, is it Ziqing's, this is the golden figure of Guanyin that Ziqing specially went to the temple to beg, I hope to bless the old lady with good health, happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan." ”

Everyone hugged Nazun Jinxiang, and Mrs. Liu nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Yanling also stood up at this time and said: "My gift is not as generous as Sister Ziqing's, but it is also my granddaughter's intention, and I hope my grandmother will not dislike it." ”

Then the others unfolded a one-meter-long embroidery, on which hundreds of longevity characters were embroidered with gold threads, which were bright and eye-catching.

Tan Shi was pleasantly surprised: "You kid, you still have such skillful hands, mother, look." ”

Mrs. Liu also smiled: "Yes, yes, this embroidery of Yanling has won my heart." Then he removed the green bracelet from his wrist and placed it on her hand.

"Thank you, grandmother. Liu Yanling smiled and bowed, and then glanced at Gu Ziqing, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

"And Ziqing, grandmother knows that you have a lot of good things at home, this pearl bracelet was given by your grandfather Liu when your grandmother was young, it is not a valuable thing, but it also carries a true feeling, you are about to marry into the Liu family, this bracelet is considered as a meeting gift from your grandmother. The old lady looked at her kindly.

Gu Ziqing took it, nodded and thanked him, glanced at Liu Yanling next to him, and sure enough, he saw the almost unconcealable jealousy on the other party's face.

Liu Zongcheng stood behind Mrs. Liu, his eyes were cloudy, Liu Yanling looked up at him, his eyes showed a touch of sadness.

"Okay, knowing that you young people like to play, you don't have to wait here with me, an old woman, go down. The old lady waved her hand and said.

A few people retreated, Liu Yanling sat in the water pavilion with her, and the other party pulled out a smile with difficulty: "Congratulations to Sister Ziqing." ”

Gu Ziqing said: "Sister Yanling, where does the joy come from?"

"Didn't Grandmother Fang Cai say that you will marry into the Liu Mansion soon, isn't this a happy event?" Liu Yanling smiled, but the hand under the table was stirring the handkerchief, as if he was twisting Gu Ziqing's head.

"Oh, it turned out to be this. Gu Ziqing lowered her head, and two flushes appeared on her cheeks, as if she was shy.

"Brother Zongcheng told me that our wedding date will be set today, Brother Zongcheng also said that he has finally waited for this day, and he will take good care of me in the future, love me and love me, and only like me in this life. ”

"Yes...... Really?" Liu Yanling smiled stiffly, his face distorted for a moment.

"Yes, Brother Zong Cheng also said that Sister Yanling has not found Ruyi Langjun yet, he is very worried, after all, you are his only sister, and you still want me to palm your eyes more and find a good son-in-law for you as soon as possible. Gu Ziqing didn't know how to stick a knife in Liu Yan's heart, seeing that the other party's face was getting more and more ugly, and at the same time he was disdainful in his heart, he also had a little more refreshment.

The smile on Liu Yanling's face was almost unsustainable, and she staggered to her feet, her face pale.

"Sister Yanling, what's wrong with you?" Gu Ziqing stretched out his hand to pull her, but the other party directly took half a step back, and said with a blushing face: "Sister Ziqing, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things, so I won't accompany you much." ”

Then he walked briskly out of the water pavilion.

Gu Ziqing looked at her back, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile that was in her hands.

......

In the backyard, Liu Zongcheng looked around, and when he saw that there was no one, he pulled Liu Yanling into his room.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Yanling threw himself into his arms and cried: "Brother." ”

"What's the matter, Yan Ling, who bullied you?" asked Liu Zongcheng eagerly.

Liu Yanling shook her head, her eyes teary-eyed: "I am the second lady of Liufu, who else dares to bully me?"

"Then why are you crying?" Liu Zongcheng wiped the corners of her eyes and said distressedly.

"I just thought, my brother is going to marry Gu Ziqing now, obviously you and I are confidants, why do you have to suffer like this? Is it because of this brother and sister status on the surface?" Liu Yanling cried.

Liu Zongcheng's face was condensed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Yan Ling, you are the only person I like, that Gu Ziqing is just a chess piece, when my father sits on the position of governor, and we get the financial resources of the Gu family, whether we find a reason to abandon her, or completely cut the grass and eradicate the roots!"

"But...... But Gu Ziqing also said today, you only like her, and you have to ...... for me Looking for a good husband. ”

"Nonsense! Yan Ling, don't you know my affection for you? We grew up together, and no one in this world knows each other better than us, what kind of thing is she Gu Ziqing? If it weren't for the Gu family, she would not even be qualified to lift shoes for you by virtue of being the daughter of a merchant! If you want to be the young lady of the Liu family, you have to see if she has this life!" Liu Zongcheng's eyes flashed with a touch of cruelty, and he comforted Liu Yanling.

Liu Yanling nodded, and was about to say something, but his eyes fell on the sachet on his waist, and then ripped it off: "It seems that Gu Ziqing is really dead set on you, and she treats her like that, and she is so faceless and skinless, if she is really the daughter of a merchant, she doesn't even understand etiquette, righteousness and shame." ”

"Why bother with her, this sachet is to be worn by her today, otherwise if she is suspicious, my mother will scold me again. Liu Zongcheng said.

Liu Yanling snorted coldly, threw the sachet aside, reached out to wrap his arms around Liu Zongcheng's shoulder, and leaned closer to kiss his neck.

The aroma in the room was faintly wafting, her brain was a little confused, and there was an impulse in her body, which was not obvious before, but after seeing Liu Zongcheng, she was faintly a little unable to suppress it, at this time, she was completely subconscious.

Nephrite is warm and fragrant, Liu Zongcheng naturally won't just look at it, even if he moves his hands and feet, but he is much more sober, knowing that today is Mrs. Liu's birthday banquet, and it is not this time to want to be warm.
