Zong Yue had just come out of the customs, and there were still things to deal with in the courtyard, so he went back to Baicaotang first, and Gu Qingyan took Baili Mo all the way to the kitchen and warehouse to confirm that everything was in order.

returned to Xu Shaolin and went back to their respective houses. Back at the Pure Heart Courtyard, Gu Qingyan called Beiming and asked about the personnel on duty during the Chinese New Year.

Beiming reported one by one, Gu Qingyan nodded with satisfaction and let Beiming go down.

Calling Su Xin, Gu Qingyan wanted to change her hairstyle and go to her mother again, Su Xin helped Gu Qingyan take off the mask and gave her a bun that was simply pulled up in the morning.

picked out a few side comb decorations, re-combed Gu Qingyan with a more well-behaved cross bun, and picked out two low-key veils and a plain mask for Gu Qingyan to choose.

Gu Qingyan raised her hand, her fingertips crossed the mask, a little cool, looked at the veil, thought about something, and asked Su Xin: "Is Hua Tian still there?" ”

She doesn't remember how many years she hasn't used Huadian, and she kept the good-looking Huadian that she had sent, but she didn't know where she received it.

As soon as Su Xin heard Gu Qingyan take the initiative to ask for Huadian, she remembered that Gu Qingyan and them had really seen each other the day before yesterday, and smiled.

"Keep it in the West Chamber, go get it."

Gu Qingyan nodded, and Su Xin trotted out.

After a while, holding a tray, Xiao Xiao came to Gu Qingyan's side. Gu Qingyan's Huadian has a regular eyebrow Huadian, and there are also a concealment Huadian specially made according to the shape of her scars.

Gu Qingyan couldn't choose, so he let Su Xin make his own decisions, Su Xin picked a big pattern, and began to draw from Gu Qingyan's right forehead, and the feathers that wanted to float gently fell on Gu Qingyan's face.

The wounded heart on the right cheek covered the scar with falling petals, and the color of the flower was not as red as usual, but it was just enough for people to see, and it didn't look too much.

Gu Qingyan looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, thanked Su Xin, and as soon as she went out, she flew away and went to another courtyard.

"Dad, mother." As soon as he entered the gate of the courtyard, Gu Qingyan shouted into the house. Gu Ningzheng and Xing Ming didn't know what to talk about, and they chatted happily.

Seeing Gu Qingyan come to them very quickly: "Dad, third master." ”

"What are you doing in a hurry, kid?" Gu Ning's voice fell, and Gu Qingyan looked up.

The six eyes met, Gu Ning and Xing Ming blinked at the same time, if they were not mistaken, today's Gu Qingyan was not the same as usual.

Tilting his head at Gu Ning Xingming with a smile, Gu Qingyan asked, "Where is my mother?" ”

Gu Ning pointed to the back room, Gu Qingyan owed, bypassed the two, and went to the back room.

The two of them looked at Gu Qingyan's back and glanced at each other again.

"If I'm not mistaken, Yan'er didn't wear a mask today." Xing Ming said.

Gu Ning responded: "Well, that's true. ”

It was not only the two old men in the outer house who were surprised, but Yunluan in the inner room was also slightly stunned when she heard her daughter's voice and didn't turn around, but she quickly regained her expression.

After all, compared to others, she had more time to see Gu Qingyan's original appearance.

When Qianhuayu walked over, she was also surprised, didn't say anything else, and praised: "It's still so good-looking." ”

Gu Qingyan hadn't spoken yet, Yun Luan took Gu Qingyan's hand, patted it gently, looked at her lovingly, and replied to Qianhuayu's words for her.

"You don't see who gave birth to it."

Gu Qingyan echoed: "That's it." After speaking, he leaned over to Yun Luan, leaned on Yun Luan's shoulder, and sprinkled coquettishly.

The four adults also kept their mouths shut about the mask, but when Gu Qingyan was still dressed as usual today, they coincidentally protected the psychological barrier that Gu Qingyan was unwilling to break through now, just like Su Xinbeiming and them.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Gu Qingyan saw that the spring flowers in the courtyard were beginning to sprout, and said, "It seems that the flowers will bloom early this year." ”

Yun Luan said: "Isn't it, plus your third master and your father take good care of it, the flowers and plants in this courtyard have already shown signs of spring." ”

"In this way, girl, the magnolia and Xifu begonias in your courtyard are estimated to be soon." Gu Ning said.

Gu Qingyan doesn't like pink things, and the same goes for plants and flowers, the most prestigious peach blossoms in Peach Blossom Stream don't have one in her yard, but Magnolia and Xifu Begonias are all beautiful in previous years.

Gu Qingyan said: "It should be, the eldest brother has arranged someone to take care of it." ”

Gu Qingyan thought about waiting for the flowers to bloom, broke the branches, and arranged flowers in the house to make a scene, which was beautiful.

After chatting for a while, someone came to pass the word and invited the old lady and the four girls to have dinner in front. The men went to the patio together.

Along the way, everyone who passed by Gu Qingyan and saw that today's four girls were different from the past, and they all smiled lightly.

Just like that, he was watched all the way into the warm pavilion, Xu Shaolin, Zong Yue, and Bai Limo were already waiting there, and when they saw a few people coming, they stepped forward to greet them: "Master, madam." ”

"Big brother, second brother, third brother." Gu Qingyan still had a harmless expression, which made the flower on her face look even more delicate.

The three of them were all slightly stunned, and when they saw Qianhua Yu, they nodded at themselves, and then they returned to normal.

Today is a family feast, there are not too many rules, everything is casual and natural.

Gu Qingyan shouldn't have touched the wine, but when he smelled the aroma of the wine, he always felt that it was unsatisfactory if he didn't taste one or two sips.

So while Zong Yue was talking to others, Gu Qingyan quietly poured himself a glass, took a sip, and instantly felt refreshed, squinting at it, no one noticed it, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

Wine is a good thing if you don't touch it, but if you don't have fun touching it, you will always think about it.

Gu Qingyan was five or six minutes full of food at this time, the small wine glass was just a stone's throw away, and his restless hands began to move again.

Got the opportunity, and quickly took another sip, before it was discovered, Gu Qingyan secretly smiled happily to herself.

"What for?" But he didn't want his expression to be happy alone, and Bai Limo turned around.

Baili Mo took the opportunity to look over, and saw that the wine glass in Gu Qingyan's hand had not been put down, and he instantly understood the meaning of the expression just now.

The thief looked at Gu Qingyan and smiled maliciously: "Little girl, you are secretly drinking behind your back." ”

Bai Limo's whisper was just for Gu Qingyan, Gu Qingyan was a thief herself, and she was busy putting her index finger against her lips, signaling Bai Limo not to speak.

"Shhhh Don't let the second brother know. "Otherwise, if the root of the ear is not red, it can be tortured and go crazy.

Keeping vigil tonight, Gu Qingyan doesn't want to be talked about by Zong Yue from this year to next year, which is not a good sign.

Baili Mo also knew that this sip or two was actually not too much of a hindrance, so he just told Gu Qingyan not to be greedy.

Gu Qingyan nodded vigorously, this time there is Baili Mo to cover her up, so she can finally get over her addiction.

Bai Limo smiled helplessly, he knew that Gu Qingyan was measured, if she was not sure of proportion, he would not compromise so easily.

Talking and laughing, playing and making trouble, it was originally peaceful at this banquet, but suddenly someone came to report that Guo Gonggong, who was sent by the palace to give gifts, came.

Everyone had to get up to greet them, Gu Qingyan's expression changed when he heard this, and he moved behind Baili Mo the moment Guo Gonggong came in, hiding half of his body, and hiding that half of his face by the way.

Xu Shaolin saw Gu Qingyan's small movements, and naturally knew what this meant, so he also stepped forward and stood on both sides of Gu Qingyan's body with Baili Mo, one left and one right.

"Peach Blossom Stream, everyone receives the gift."

Guo Gonggong shouted loudly, and everyone was just a ritual, kneeling on one knee, clenching his fists and listening to the order.

I only heard Guo Gonggong read the things sent by the palace this year, what gold silk jade, precious herbs, rich in variety, and everything.

The group got up in thanks, and Guo Gonggong did seem to have something to say, and glanced at Gu Qingyan who was behind, and he didn't know whether he should call this emperor out.

Yun Luan said: "What else is there to do with my father-in-law? ”

Gonggong Guo bowed respectfully to Yunluan, and then said: "Back to Emperor Dachang, the emperor still has one more thing to give to Emperor Qinrui." ”

"Qingyan is not feeling well these days, and I have collected something for my father-in-law." Yun Luan said.

"This..."Guo Gonggong was in trouble for a while, if someone else said it, he could say something more, but Yunluan's words still accounted for weight after all, and he could only respond.

Wave his hand and let the little father-in-law behind him take the brocade box, send it to Yun Luan, open the brocade box, and the things inside Yun Luan are familiar with, it is Gu Qing Yanqinrui Emperor Ji's token.

When she left the palace that year, she returned the tokens of herself and Gu Qingyan to the palace, and after so many years, Gu Qingyan's tokens came back.

Thinking about it, if they take out the Heavenly Machine Order, they will be able to have less worries, and in order to make it easier for Gu Qingyan to do things for them in the future, it is understandable to take out the Emperor Ji token.

Yun Luan motioned for Xu Shaolin to take the token for Gu Qingyan and gave it to Gu Qingyan.

Holding the token, Gu Qingyan sneered in his heart, and he still said a sentence on his lips: "There is Lao Guo's father-in-law." "That's thanks.

Xu Shaolin didn't want this person to stay here and disturb the atmosphere, so he said: "There is a thin wine in the valley, and my father-in-law and his party will rest in the valley tonight, and someone will send my father-in-law out of the valley tomorrow." ”

"Thank you to the valley master, the slave will retire."

Guo Gonggong is only late today, and he can't go.

Seeing off Guo's father-in-law, everyone returned to the banquet, Gu Qingyan put away the token and continued to chat about the previous topic, so that this little episode could not disturb her interest in secretly drinking.

Unlike Peach Blossom Stream, the family banquet in the palace said that there was no restraint, but it was not the most comfortable. King Yu sat in the banquet, and suddenly felt a little envious of Gu Qingyan.

Two days ago, he had already returned to the imperial capital, entered the palace and invited An to see the emperor, talked about the recent events of Peach Blossom Stream, took out the heavenly order, and repeated Yunluan's words to the emperor.

"Let's go to the imperial tomb, Gonggong Kang is there." The emperor said.

"Okay."

After leaving the palace, King Yu went to the imperial tomb first, where he saw Gonggong Kang, who he hadn't seen for many years.

Years urge people to get old, many years ago he was still the high-spirited head of the inner house, and now he is also half a hundred old men, with gray hair in his temples, and a few more strands have been added.

King Yu took out the Heavenly Order, asked about the events of the year, and got confirmation from Gonggong Kang.

"That year, in order to clear the floating water, the secret guards under the order of the heavenly machine lost a lot, and there have been no newcomers since then."

Kang Gonggong recalled the past, and there were no longer any waves in his heart.

Time is like this, it will slowly precipitate in the years, and those past will become light and light.

"In the year that the first emperor died, the eldest emperor Ji and Gu Erye quietly returned." This is something that even the emperor does not know.

"That year, at this altar, the last time I used the Heavenly Decree to gather all the remaining secret guards, in front of the Great Elder Emperor Ji, in front of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and in front of the old slave, Second Master Gu personally abolished the martial arts of the secret guards, and dismissed them from then on."

"What!" Yuwang didn't know that the original Heavenly Machine Order was already an empty shell, no wonder Yun Luan would say that it was no longer needed, such similar words.

"Yes, we all feel unbearable, but in order to have less scruples, we can only be ruthless and abolish our martial arts, so that we can save our lives."

On this day, Gonggong Kang's words have been pressing on King Yu's heart, and he told the emperor in a different way, and finally let them all let go of their fear of the Heavenly Order.

Now that the banquet is singing and dancing, King Yu can't see the moon and stars outside, only the eaves, covering the hearts of the people in this room.
