Guo Yan was busy for a while, and finally got a two-day holiday, thinking that he hadn't been to Chengnanzhuang for many days, so he rode a yellow horse out of the city.

When he arrived in Chengnanzhuang, it was the people around his eldest brother Guo Zhu who came to greet him, Guo Yan was a little surprised and asked, "Where is Mrs. Xue?" ”

Although Xue Chuer is in the outer room, in the end, she was also welcomed back by the sedan chair carried by Guo Yan, and the main room was not there, so several people in the house also called her "Mrs.", just to distinguish her sister-in-law, they called her "Mrs. Xue".

Xue Chu'er happened to be not at home at this time, and those few people who were not her would not hide it for her, and when she heard Guo Jun's question, she replied like a bamboo tube pouring beans: "I got up early and saw Mrs. Xue go out in a carriage, and the two maids also took her with me." ”

Guo Yan frowned slightly: "What kind of clothes are you wearing?" ”

The family said: "It's like wearing a purple robe with a red belt and a big-sleeved shirt, which is very neat." ”

Xue Chu'er didn't like these dark-colored clothes, and she looked old-fashioned. But if she goes to Pingkangli, in the face of her little sisters who are like flowers and butterflies, she must dress luxuriously and formally, not only to put on a different show for the limelight, but also to show that graceful and noble style.

That's what women are looking for.

Guo Yan was secretly helpless in his heart, but he already knew Xue Chu'er's whereabouts, so he simply turned a corner and went to meet his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and he happened to have something to tell his eldest brother.

Here, Xue Chu'er didn't expect Guo Jun to take a break today, so she went to Pingkangli early in the morning to find her handkerchief when she was young.

At that time, the little sisters who were about the same age as her, and those who could get her eyes were all well-known in Pingkangli. There are some people who have wasted their years, but they have also saved a lot of money, and they have opened their own teaching workshops and started bustards, and there are also one or twenty girls under them. There are also others, just like her, who found a lover to marry, and it is rare for them to go out again.

She can be regarded as the best married among them, Guo Yan is not much older than her, she is outstanding in all her talents, and she is the only lady in the family. Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, Guo Yan's wife has become a princess, and her sister has become a concubine, and her status has risen.

It's rare that she is still willing to walk around with these old sisters, how can they not be hospitable!

Xue Chu'er didn't come for nothing, she carried most of the high-quality silk on this carriage, as well as a lot of small jewelry, although it was not worth anything, but it was rare that the craftsmanship of the craftsmen of the Guo Mansion was extremely exquisite and beautiful, which could not be bought outside.

Although she has such an identity, in fact, her net worth is not small, and all she spends is her own private savings, but she is particularly face-saving because she has a relationship with the Guo family.

She is generous and generous, and everyone who sees her has a share, so several big workshops in Pingkang Li treat her respectfully everywhere, even if it is a small scale, it is an honor to invite her in and sit for a while.

She came in the morning, when there were no guests in Pingkangli, and the old sisters had time to gather together and gather together with the best wine, snacks, and fruits in the building to make a big table.

The bustard mother of Qiyue Lou took her hand and said with a smile: "Our Chu'er, I have been blessed since I was a child, see if it is not, this little hand is raised, but it is whiter and tender than the new twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, no wonder Guo Langjun likes it!" ”

The other smiled on the side: "Sister Xue is now a noble lady, where do you have to rely on talent, sister's bearing is the most rare, that is, standing next to the eldest lady who has newly canonized the princess above, it should be almost inseparable!" ”

Another touched the fabric of her body and was envious: "What kind of material is this dress, sister, I seem to have seen the servant of the household wear it before!" ”

Xue Chu'er smiled faintly: "I don't know what it is, there are many of them piled up in the Guo family's treasury, and I don't recognize many of them." I can't take care of the house, but Saburo saw what was there, so he threw a few horses to me. ”

So someone said that a concubine who can't manage the family is still like this, and the wealth of the Guo family can be seen to be extraordinary.

Xue Chu'er let them guess, only smiled and didn't say much, and only after they complimented them for a long time did she smile and start a family routine with her sisters: "My family's San Lang has been so busy that his feet don't touch the ground these days, and he hasn't been here for a few days, and I'm afraid that the Langjun officials next to me will also come less?" ”

One of them smiled in a plum red dress and said: "Isn't it, I have a girl in my hand, who served a Langjun of the Ministry of Rites, and I haven't seen anyone for a while, and I don't know how busy I am. ”

Seeing that Xue Chu'er was still smiling so tepidly, he pulled her: "Hey, Sister Chu'er, what is the situation now, should the captain of your family know something?" ”

Xue Chu'er covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "We are from a woman's family, he knows that he can't tell us!" ”

A man wearing a cherry yellow skirt next to him said: "Chu'er, tell me, what's going on in this world, the emperor is still in charge?" For a while, I heard that I had abdicated and lived in Xingqing Palace, and for a while, I heard that there was a white hemp inner life. If you continue to toss like this, won't the girls have to wait for those peddlers and pawns! ”

When Xue Chu'er heard this, her heart jumped a few beats anxiously, and she smiled quietly: "Sister listened to whom, although I don't know the details, but this court is naturally in charge of His Majesty, the Emperor Taishang is cultivating himself in Xingqing Palace to spend his old age in peace, how can there be any white hemp life flowing out, it must be which guest bragging and coaxing!" ”

The woman in the cherry yellow skirt also covered her mouth and laughed: "It turns out that Chu'er doesn't know this either." It's funny to say, a few days ago, I came to a poor man, and I didn't have much money on him, so I had a crush on my sister. I wanted to blast out, but when I thought about it, we opened the door to do business, and it was a little bit to make some money. These days, there are few people who come, and there is a lot of leisure, so I asked my sister to accompany me to a table of wine. That Xiangshi poured a few more mouthfuls of yellow soup, and then opened his mouth, saying that the world is going to be in chaos! ”

Xue Chu'er took a sip of tea and laughed with her: "What a big mess, isn't it possible that the Emperor Taishang gave him Bai Ma an internal order to rebel!" ”

Pingkangli is an unusual place, doing business that is not on the table, and they are used to talking nonsense in private, and these women are open-mouthed, not as cautious as ordinary people.

The woman in the cherry blossom yellow skirt came to Xue Chu'er, looking a little mysterious, but the voice was heard by everyone in the room, "But isn't it, it is said that the Emperor Taishang gave Bai Ma an internal order to Qinzhou Taishou, asking him to raise troops to fight in Chang'an!" Chu'er, do you think this news is reliable? ”

Xue Chu'er still smiled: "Let's not see much, my sister will believe it, hurry up and take the girls under her command to run for their lives first." ”

When the woman saw Xue Chu'er teasing her, she was sure that the Xiangshi was bragging, and she also sneered on her face: "Didn't I tell a joke for the sisters to listen to!" ”

Everyone talked and laughed for a while, Xue Chu'er ordered the maid to go to the car to divide the gifts for the sisters, and when everyone's attention was on things, then he pulled the old bustard of Qiyue Lou to the cubicle inside, and quietly asked some questions, the old bustard answered one by one, and stuffed the paper roll prepared in advance into Xue Chu'er's hand, and Xue Chu'er also took a jade bracelet with excellent water head from her wrist and gave it to her.

At this time, I heard someone knocking on the door outside: "Is Mrs. Xue here?" ”

Xue Chu'er heard the name of her own family, and hurriedly responded, and the person outside: "Mrs. Xue, come down quickly, Captain Guo is here to pick you up!" ”

Xue Chu'er was startled, and hurriedly let go of the old bustard's hand, hurriedly tied his cloak and walked out, and sure enough, he saw Guo Yan standing downstairs with his hands cut on his back. She was about to run down with her skirt, and was about to take a step, remembering her clothes and identity, she hurriedly collected her steps, walked over steadily, and walked to Guo Yan's side and bent down to bend for a blessing, "San Lang." ”

Guo Yan still gave her enough face in the end, smiled gently, took her hand, nodded slightly to her old sisters, and took her into his carriage.

As soon as he entered the carriage, Guo Yan's face instantly turned cloudy and gloomy, and the whole collapsed.

Xue Chu'er was uneasy in her heart, knowing that Guo Yan didn't like her to get involved in these things, she was caught by him again, so she had to be careless with a smile: "San Lang, I ......"

Guo Yan had a cold face: "How many times have I told you, don't mess around with these things!" ”

Xue Chu'er pursed her lips slightly, "San Lang, the concubine also wants to help you a little...... Besides, isn't the concubine also a woman, and she has more things to worry about than the concubine......"

When Guo Yan heard what she said, his heart suddenly became angry: "She is her, who can compare with her?" It's my brother's inability to be an older brother that makes her work hard in the palace! ”

Xue Chu'er's eyes were already red, and she had a handkerchief twisted on her fingers, and the original habit of twisting the handkerchief on the tips of her fingers when she was nervous was like Nianyun, Guo Yan looked a little distracted.

This Xue Chu'er always seems to be learning from Nianyun unconsciously, but she always seems to have an inexplicable hostility towards Nianyun.

He sighed in his heart and stretched out his hand to stop her: "That's it, Chu'er, it's me who is too impatient." You've just made this trip, have you gained anything? ”

Xue Chu'er hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes with the twisted and deformed handkerchief, showed a gentle smile, and took out the paper roll that the bustard gave her from her sleeve.

Rao is writing on the paper briefly, Guo Yan still glanced at ten lines, roughly scanned the content, and there was no too important information, so he returned it to her casually.

Xue Chu'er thought about it, and then told him about the previous Xiangshi and Bai Ma's internal life, Guo Yan listened carefully to what she said, and his face slowly became solemn.

He just got the news of His Majesty's poisoning from the palace yesterday, and here he heard that there is a reappearance of Bai Ma's internal life, is this just a coincidence?
