The third sister has regained her previous vigor, playing in the yard all day long, and she can't see half of her thoughts and loneliness in the past. Regardless of whether she made it on purpose or what, in short, the quiet pool of stagnant water in the Gongfu finally rippled a little.

But such days did not last long, and before the summer heat had time to go into battle, someone came to propose marriage. Large and small boxes were sent into the house like water, even if I knew all the gold, silver and jade, I was still shocked, and I was so generous that I knew that it was a wealthy family with bells and food, and it was enough to see their fancy and sincerity for this marriage.

There is an unwritten rule in the capital: men should marry low, and women should marry high. Relying on the status of the mother's family, the left who came to propose to the third sister is only a more prominent prince and grandson, anyway, it will not be Pei Ran, whoever is left, and the third sister is not uncommon.

I wasn't interested, and was about to go back to my room to avoid it, but the little maid next to me was very curious, and had to drag me to the front hall to join in the fun.

We hid behind the screen, and saw Shangshu, who had always been above the top, piling up his face full of flattery, and Mrs. Shangshu, who had always been simple, also dressed up. The young man standing next to them was elegant and gentle with poetry and books, and he was the son of the Shang Shujia and a famous genius in the capital, in the words of the third sister, a useless scholar.

The phrase "a gentleman of words, gentle as jade" is perfect to describe the young man in front of him. He does not have the usual dull pedanticism of a scholar, but his sleeves are pure and clear, and there is a little righteousness between his eyebrows.

I have seen him when I was very young, it seems that his name is Gu Xi, among the people I have seen, except for Yujing, he is the most different, even his mother, who has always rarely praised people, also praised him, and once joked that he wanted to set a baby for us, Mrs. Shangshu naturally did not take it seriously, and it was over with laughter.

Mrs. Shangshu is gentle and virtuous, and she smiles when she meets people, and thanks to her temperament, she can love Shangshu for many years when she sees everyone with angry eyebrows. Originally, the relationship between our two families was not bad under the linkage of the ladies of each family, but after the death of my mother, Mrs. Shangshu only met once during the condolences, and gradually became estranged from the government. It's not because of anything else, but Mrs. Shangshu can't get used to Chen's behavior, and Shangshu and his father have always disagreed on the government, so they simply put it away, so as not to make a lot of unpleasant trouble, and neither of them can get off the stage.

Such conditions can be regarded as a good match for the third sister, and with Gu Xi's ability, he will definitely show his edge in the government and the opposition, and it will also be beneficial to his father, who is a military general.

The third sister came in surrounded by a crowd of people, and bowed to Shangshu and Mrs. Shangshu with an expressionless face, and this family affair was decided. Because of the turmoil in the previous family business, no one asked her if she was willing, and no one cared if she was willing. But when Gu Xi looked at her, there was such a warm light in his eyes, the moon on the sea was the moon in the sky, and the person in front of him was his sweetheart.

He is so good, he still can't compare to Pei Ran, there is no high or low relationship, but he always pays attention to a first come, first come. There is only one human heart, once it is delivered to others, it is difficult to take it back.

The date of marriage is set for next month, the time is pressing, Chen ordered people to make wedding dresses for the third sister day and night, and the biological mother of the third sister also began to prepare a dowry for her.

On the day of the third sister's wedding, the second sister also came, and she hadn't seen her for a long time, she had lost a lot of weight, only her lower abdomen was slightly bulging. The maid next to me was afraid that I would be reckless and startle the second sister's fetal gas, so she was more protective of me, and the second sister pulled me over with a smile and said to the person next to her: "Little sister and I rarely see each other, don't restrain her." ”

The third sister reached out and pinched my face, and said, "I asked my little sister if she wanted you a few days ago, and she said she didn't want to, but she would be coquettish with you at this time, this little villain!" ”

Chen came in with the wedding dresses and grooming grandmothers, and the laughter in the room came to an abrupt end, and the three sisters looked coldly at the mask-like smiles on their faces, and even the most coarse people could feel the embarrassment at that time. Even so, no one dared to persuade her to smile, just rejoice, why bother.

When the people who greeted the relatives came, the gongs, drums and firecrackers at the door made people's ears hurt, but the third sister who had already made up was unmoved. The smile on everyone's faces froze, and then they tried to persuade them, three girls, the auspicious time has come, don't miss the time.

The third sister suddenly stood up, and the beads on her head collided with her anger. I thought that the third sister would pull off the beads on her head and make a big fuss, but she didn't, she grabbed the hijab on the side and ran out with the corner of her skirt by herself.

The people behind were frightened and chased after them in a panic. The third sister stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky at the corner of the eaves, the light and shadow cut an image along the outline of her face, she suddenly smiled, and the image instantly became soft.

She was a bright red in the blue of early summer, and her arrogance finally compromised into the most helpless gesture. I really wanted to go over and hug her, but I couldn't take a step, I didn't have the right to feel sorry for her, and in the near future, maybe I would be the one standing in her position.

Gu Xi stretched out her hand to the third sister, but the third sister only grabbed his wrist, if the road in the future could not completely smooth her mind, she would not force herself to bend to meet him. But people are not stubborn stones, this is forever, who can determine what has not yet happened?

The sound of gongs and drums faded away, and the firecrackers also shattered into fragments after the loud noise, leaving only a mess all over the ground.

This huge Guogong Mansion was empty after all.
