The girl standing in front of Gu Yaolian was wearing an azure skirt, and she combed a drooping bun that only a woman with a big Yan and a flute would comb.

There was a faint sorrow between her eyebrows, like the mist that lingered on the lake in the early morning, both innocent and pitiful.

Even if she doesn't speak, it will make people want to take care of her.

This is Gu Yaolian's sister-in-law - Gu Yaoqing.

"Why can't I see my sister?" Gu Yaopian was puzzled, "Could it be that my sister did something to be sorry for me?" will be so cranky. ”

Gu Yaoqing was slightly stunned, "I saw two cousins that day, and I wanted to invite them to shoot seven together, but I didn't want you to be gone when I came back." ”

Later, my uncle sent Xiangwu and Xiangtan back to Liu's house, and he lost his temper with his uncle. As you know, the eldest uncle has always respected his uncle, and then he beat Xiangwu and Xiangtan to death. ”

"Xiangwu and Xiangtan have served you for many years and are loyal to you, but they don't want to let them lose their lives because of my mistakes."

As she spoke, she went to hold Gu Yaolian's hand, "Uncle is the most kind, he will do this, I'm afraid it's just to make my uncle angry." ”

Gu Yao was pitiful when he heard this, but his smile was extremely faint, "My sister also said it just now, this is your fault, why did you say it and become angry for your uncle?" ”

"Xiangwu and Xiangtan were originally the maids sent to me by the Liu family, and my aunt also kept them because of the kindness of the Liu family. Especially Xiangwu, she has only been by my side for a few years, and she has already been a first-class maid, and when I am ready, she will be able to promise a decent steward. My aunt treated me very well, and she treated Xiangwu and Xiangtan well. ”

"My sister also knows my aunt's body, she doesn't like to go out and walk around, I was raised by her, and my temperament follows her. I would accompany my sister to enjoy the lanterns that day, also because my sister said that she was not familiar with Yanjing. Xiangwu, as my personal maid, just left with my sister, and later ran back to the Bofu to slander me and ruin my innocence. Shouldn't such a slave who deceived the master be sent back to the Liu family? ”

"My aunt is kind, and my uncle doesn't like to see blood, so he sent them back, thinking that since they are members of the Liu family, the eldest uncle may spare their lives. As a result, the eldest uncle had them killed, but it became the fault of the uncle and aunt? ”

Gu Yaoqing's face changed slightly.

Gu Yaolian is still the same as before, and she has nothing to hide from her, but why does she feel different?

Gu Yaoqing thought about it, but her voice was extremely aggrieved, "It's my sister's fault, don't worry." There are just two subordinate girls on the left and right, so don't mention them. Today is the death day of my mother, so let's not hurt my sister's harmony in front of her tablet. ”

Maybe he had already felt this kind of disappointment in his previous life, so when Gu Yaoqing said this, Gu Yaoqing didn't feel a trace of sadness.

Gu Yaoqing always said vaguely to Gu Yaoqing in the past that her father treated her poorly, and her life at the border was very hard.

Therefore, Gu Yaolian always wanted to compensate her sister in private, and she didn't hide anything from Gu Yaoqing if she had something in her heart.

This is her sister-in-law, they have the same blood in their bones, can they still harm her?

But there are always some people in the world who are naturally vicious and can't see the slightest kindness from others. It seems that only by stepping people who are better than themselves into the mud will they feel relieved.

Gu Yaolian didn't speak again, but entered the Buddhist hall with Gu Yaoqing, and offered incense and worship to his mother's tablet.

Gu Yaolian has been to the small Buddha hall many times, and most of them will stay alone in the small Buddha hall, talking to herself about her mother's tablet.

She hadn't seen her mother, but she had heard her aunt mention it.

My aunt said that her mother loved her very much and arranged a lot for her before she died.

Gu Yaolian sometimes thinks that if her mother is here, she should love her as much as her aunt.

The deceased is gone, and all she can do is remember.

"When my mother was in the boudoir, my aunt was still young." After Gu Yaoqing burned the paper, he said, "Every year during the Double Ninth Festival, my mother will prepare good desserts and fruits, and then cook a pot of chrysanthemum tea herself to entertain my younger brothers and sisters at home. ”

"My aunt doesn't like the taste of chrysanthemum tea, and every time my mother puts a few red dates in my aunt's tea, so that the tea has a sweet taste."

Every time my aunt mentions her mother, she is reluctant, and her eyes are red. They have a deep sisterhood, and even after so many years, my aunt still remembers her mother. ”

Gu Yaoqing smiled as if talking about something beautiful, "My sister and aunt are very similar in temperament, and I don't like the taste of tea. ”

Gu Yaolian listened, but his thoughts drifted away.

After she was forced to return to the Liu family in her previous life, she became ill again due to excessive worry, and she had a bad time during that time, and she couldn't tell the bitterness in her heart, and her mind was in chaos.

Seventh Aunt Liu Xiang and her sister have always been by her side to take care of her, and they will make her happy from time to time.

At that time, she really believed that although some people in the Liu family wanted to use her, her aunt and sister were sincere to her.

It's ridiculous to think about it now......

At that time, my aunt was afraid that she knew that her father Gu Changming was going to marry the only daughter of General Chen, but Liu Xiang knew that she couldn't compete for the only daughter of the Chen family, and she was unwilling to give up the glory in front of her, so she acted like this.

Gu Yaolian has been with her aunt for many years, her body looks thin but her foundation is very good, how can she be sick for a few months?

When her father returned, her aunt was willing to be a concubine for her father under the pretext that she was not worried about her body and wanted to take care of her personally.

As for her sister, she was afraid that she had already taken a fancy to Jiang Wensheng at that time.

They are more calculating than anyone else, but Gu Yao pities himself like a fool.

"Nope." Gu Yaolian walked out of the Buddhist hall and replied, "Since the incident of the incense mist, I have been afraid of the dark. ”

"Today, I need to go back early."

Afraid of the dark? Gu Yaoqing remembered that Gu Yaoqing was not even afraid of ghosts and gods, how could he be afraid of the dark?

It's just an excuse.

Gu Yaoqing hurriedly took Gu Yaolian's hand, "Then you can't go back without eating anything?" Why don't you use some tea before you go? ”

"Aunt Seventh deliberately took the snow water buried under the plum tree last year, saying that I would make tea for you to eat, you can't live up to your aunt's kindness."

This snow water again? How much snow did Liu Xiang hide in the jar, why is it endless?

Gu Yaoqing didn't give Gu Yaolian a chance to refuse at all, took Gu Yaolian's hand, and walked towards Muxiangyuan.

The main courtyard of the Liu family is a few steps away from the Muxiang Courtyard, where Gu Yaolian's mother used to live, and now Gu Yaoqing lives in it temporarily.

There are several hundred-year-old ginkgo trees planted in Muxiangyuan, and now they are even more golden in autumn, and the scenery is very good.

There is a pavilion outside the Muxiang Temple, and there is a rockery behind it, and you can see the ginkgo biloba when you raise your head, and it is the best place to eat tea here.

Everything needed to make tea had already been prepared in the pavilion, and Gu Yaoqing began to make tea skillfully.

Ordering tea and arranging flowers is the favorite thing for everyone in Yanjing City to use to pass the time, and Gu Yaoqing, who has been outside the gate for many years, is even more familiar with these elegant things than Gu Yaolian.

It's no wonder that Jiang Wensheng was fascinated by Gu Yaoqing later.

"Today's tea, the bite is excellent." Gu Yaoqing handed the teacup to Gu Yaolian, "Sister, try it." ”

Gu Yaolian shook his head, "Sister, do you have anything to say to me?" ”

She will not eat anything from the Liu family again, especially after Steward Zhou reminds her, she will not touch a mouthful of water.

"Or maybe my sister has something she wants to convey to me for my aunt."
