Chapter Forty-Eight: The River Lantern Festival
Gu Jinshu's voice was delicate, with a low voice and soft words, and the soft appearance of her eyebrows and eyes made people unable to rise to hatred.
What's more, at this time, Pei Yuniang lowered her posture even more when she asked for help, "Look at this little mouth, sister, can I still be greedy for you a hairpin?" If that hairpin is really as you say, since you like poetry and books, my sister can teach it herself. ”
Pei Yuniang's words laid the foundation for Gu Jinshu's frequent visits in the future, and this reason is not abrupt, but reasonable.
Listening to Pei Yuniang's promise, Zhen Xinyu couldn't help but look at her more, she didn't expect that Yu Niang would actually hit this little girl at first sight.
Listening to her intelligent words, Gu Jinshu was a little relieved, although Pei Yuniang was a delicate girl raised by a deep boudoir, she was not a stupid person, and she must understand the deep meaning in her words just now.
In this case, she didn't continue to explore the idea of mentioning something, but went straight to the point: "That sister doesn't dare to let go of such an opportunity, my sister will have news in a few days." ”
"Then I'll just wait for my sister's good news."
Pei Yuniang's heart is mixed now, from Gu Jinshu's words, she already knows Xie Shisan's intentions, but how can he pull himself out of this quagmire?
The Xie family has been noble for generations and has gone through several dynasties, so it can be said that it is the top scholarly family, but isn't it self-defeating to fight against the imperial power?
"I have a lot of manuscripts of all kinds here, if you like it, take them!"
Pei Yuniang said that she had asked people to go to the study to clean up the posts she had copied, and even left Zhen Xinyu halfway through and took her to pick them out in person.
After waving back left and right, she sorted out the copybook for Gu Jinshu, and said softly with her eyebrows and eyes: "Will it affect the Xie family?" ”
If it was just Xie Shisan and her, then she would choose to fight head-on with the imperial power without hesitation, even if the two of them would not die well in the end.
However, things are often cruel, and they have to pay something while enjoying the convenience brought to them by the nobility of the family.
- For example, one's own marriage and future.
"No, it won't."
The reason why Xie 13 saved the country and went to find Pei Jinniang to come back was to avoid dragging the Xie family into the water.
"He ......"
As if knowing what she was going to ask, Gu Jinshu raised her eyelids and glanced at them gently, and her voice was soft with a little caution: "I went to Lizhou." ”
“……”
Pei Yuniang's originally peaceful face changed color instantly, and then she said a little decadently: "I'm afraid my sister won't come back." ”
When Pei Jinniang married Lizhou, Pei Yuniang was still in infancy, and the sisterhood can be said to be quite weak, so she shouldn't rush back.
"It's man-made, isn't it?"
With Xie Shisan's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to invite Pei Jinniang back, otherwise he wouldn't have become Shen Qingci's right-hand man in his previous life.
"What you need is to buy time."
Xie Shisan's departure from Lizhou can be said to be the most scarce thing, and this time urgently needs Pei Yuniang to fight for it herself.
"I know."
Lizhou is also thousands of miles away from accompanying the capital, and if you go, you may not be able to talk about your sister-in-law, so this time will be postponed again.
When Gu Jinshu and Ye Qingdai left, Pei Yuniang sent people to the door of the weeping flowers, only to see Ye Qingdai glancing at her suspiciously: "Aren't you usually the best at this poetic scene?" Now why is there a lack of interest? ”
She just described the scene of the River Lantern Festival vividly, but she was like an old monk who had settled down, and she was not interested at all, which was really a little strange.
"If I'm free that day, I'll naturally go, what the hell are you doing?"
Today's loss is that Pei Guogong's Mansion can't afford to lose this face, so she was sent to this hanging flower gate to see off guests, you must know that she can't even go out of her own courtyard in normal times, it can be seen that the people of the Pei family are determined to let her marry into the East Palace.
Zhen Xinyu spread her hands and chuckled at her, and then said to Gu Jinshu: "You can be said to have returned with a full load today, I'll send you back to Ye Mansion!" ”
"Okay."
The stone in Gu Jinshu's heart was also put down a little, and she was also a lot more relaxed, and her eyes were glowing with soft light when she looked at Zhen Xinyu.
- If it weren't for her unintentional help, I am afraid that I would not have met Pei Yuniang so easily.
Sent the two away Pei Yuniang went directly to the courtyard of Duchess Pei Guo, and Duchess Guo was slightly stunned when she saw her coming, and then sent the people who were waiting on the left and right out: "But you sent people away?" ”
"Yes."
Seeing that there was no joy on her pretty face, the Duchess took two steps forward and took her hand and sat on the soft chair on one side: "I know you are unhappy, but now that the wood is in the boat, we have no power to return to the sky." ”
She is only a deep housewife, and nothing she hopes for more than a few children to live a safe and happy life, but many things are not up to her.
"Mother, my daughter knows that the matter is a foregone conclusion, but my daughter doesn't want to leave the mansion so early, and she doesn't want to even have a birthday banquet, so she fights to the death with the warblers and Yanyan people in the East Palace."
"This ......"
The daughter's gift is in the wax moon, but according to the time discussed between the mother-in-law and the East Palace, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for that time.
"Mother, your daughters have begun to compromise, can't you even satisfy your daughter's wishes? At the last birthday banquet, my daughter made a wish to make lanterns with Xinyu and put a river lantern on the East Lake, and now the lantern festival has arrived, and my daughter is unwilling to break her promise. ”
Pei Yuniang's face showed uncontrollable bitterness, and the scorn between her eyebrows seemed to be world-weary, and the Duchess couldn't bear it after all: "I'm not sure it will be as you wish, but I will help you fight for it." ”
"Mother."
She threw herself into the arms of the Duchess like a milk swallow fluttering on her nest, and her crystal tears fell down, as if she had suffered thousands of grievances and finally met a person who knew how to warm and cold, and knew how to lose.
Duchess Pei Guo stroked her back and sighed slightly, this daughter is an old girl born to her desperately, and it fills the time when the eldest daughter is not around, it can be said that she put the love of her two daughters on the jade in front of her.
If it weren't for her mother-in-law's insistence on this, why would she let her daughter follow the path of her eldest daughter?
Regardless of the intention of the East Palace to marry Yu Niang for the time being, the love between him and Jin Niang at the beginning shocked a lot of people, so that the one on the dragon chair had to take measures to force him to marry the Cai daughter as the crown princess of the East Palace.
It's just that now that the court has been elevated step by step, does the one on the dragon chair still have the ability to control the overall situation?
The river lantern festival in the capital is in full swing, and many people have begun to make exquisite and beautiful river lanterns before the lantern festival starts, and Gu Jinshu and them are no exception.
On this day, Gu Jinshu had just had breakfast, Zhen Xinyu and Pei Yuniang came together under Ye Qingdai's greeting, and the happy appearance made her eyes pause slightly.
After hearing the intention of the two, Gu Jinshu couldn't cry or laugh in her heart: "The two sisters are also courageous, and the work of making lanterns is not easy. ”
