Kyoto is bustling, especially at night, from the castle gate towers to the streets and alleys, to thousands of households. The red lanterns provoked and the gorgeous fireworks bloomed, in this city that never sleeps with fire trees and silver flowers, the door of the third master is even more chariots and horses, and the door is like a city.

"Miss, Madame instructed you to drink this bowl of bird's nest soup while it was hot." At such a busy moment, Mama Lu beside Wu's side brought a bird's nest.

"Grandma Lu, I've already eaten a bird's nest soup, can you stop eating it." Diancui is still sweet in her mouth now, looking at the big bird's nest full of worries, she has to be like Grandma Lu.

"Eat half a bowl." Grandma Lu never couldn't resist Diancui's coquettish idiot, so she had to give in.

Diancui smiled, no longer insisted, obediently took a few bites, and did not forget to ask my third brother if they were back.

"Zhuang Yuanlang and the little master have returned from the street tour, and now they are going back to the courtyard to change their clothes." Grandma Lu smiled and said, Miss will be able to see them in a while.

"I haven't seen it for many years, and the fourth sister is still as ...... as when she was a child" A Qingyue gentle voice came from a corner, and it was Gui Chuying who spoke, and she saw it since she came to this yard. But Diancui was surrounded by everyone, but she didn't see her.

Diancui turned his head and saw Gui Chuying, who was dressed in full costume and exquisite makeup, sitting upright in a corner, his expression flickering under the lantern.

"It turned out that the big sister was here," Diancui walked over, and said with a smile that I didn't see the big sister after I came for a long time, and I wanted to make amends with the big sister.

Oh, sure enough, I haven't grown as before, I just know how to please people with smiling faces.

"Madame, be careful!" Diancui turned around and walked towards her, the ground was paved with pebbles, and I don't know which one of the subordinates accidentally sprinkled some water on it, and the winter snow on the side and Xin'er supported her at the same time.

"Why don't you wipe the water off the ground!" Grandma Lu also found out, and immediately changed her face: "Forget it, call Diao Sanzi, remove all the pebbles here, and tomorrow you should lay the grinding plate, and cover it with red felt today." ”

"Miss is here, and you good students are taking care of it." Grandma Lu instructed again, and everyone said yes.

"Grandma Lu, leave me alone, go to my mother's side to help." Diancui urged her out of the courtyard.

Everyone who returned home was so nervous, Gui Chuying couldn't help but sweep Diancui's abdomen, and asked leisurely, Could it be that the fourth sister is also pregnant?

used a word, and asked this question, as if I was afraid that the world would not know that she was pregnant with a child for the second son of the Luo family.

"How many months has the fourth sister been pregnant?" Gui Chu Ying asked leisurely.

"It's been almost three months." Dian Cui is happy today, and this person is also a little more patient: "What about the big sister?" ”

"I've been in the past four or five months, and less than three months is the most dangerous, maybe it will be gone if there is a little thing, the fourth sister must be careful." Gui Chuying looked at her gently and said softly.

Her expression was very earnest, but it was really unpleasant to hear these words in people's ears.

Dongxue's face changed, she still remembered that the eldest lady had killed his wife who had fallen into the water, and was about to speak, but she heard a little cui smile and said:

"The child in this womb has always been delicate, but this has always been about fate. If you don't have a chance, let alone three months, even if it's four or five months, you have to say that you don't have it. ”

Gui Chuying was stunned for a while, and once thought that she had heard it wrong, did this really come out of the mouth of the fourth sister opposite?

"Why does Big Sister keep looking at me?" Diancui touched his face, and his expression naturally said that it was not what was on my face.

"I didn't ...... No. Gui Chuying quietly grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, and her heart went from disbelief to annoyance, what did she mean by this, was she cursing herself.

Dian Cui sneered slightly, and said that he was the one who others love to shake their faces, and if they want to be sarcastic, they can say a few words of sarcasm.

"I came out in a hurry this time, I didn't prepare much, this is a congratulatory gift for my sister to return to Beijing," Gui Chuying's face quickly changed back to her previous calm and gentleness, beckoned, and the high-spirited little maid next to her came over, presented a long ebony box, and put it in front of Diancui and bowed slightly.

"Sister Xie, it's not good to put it away." Diancui smiled and ordered the letter beside him.

"Fourth sister, don't you see what's inside?" Gui Chuying's face did not move, but his eyes were burning.

Dian Cui was helpless, and stepped forward to open the box, which was a scroll of paintings.

"This painting is painted by Xianggong and he found a famous teacher in the capital, the fourth sister can take a look at it?"

It is Luo Jing's painting, so what does it mean for her to give it to herself, Diancui looked back at her with some puzzlement, and Gui Chuying lowered her head to eat tea, and when she looked up, she was indeed smiling.

Diancui frowned, she really didn't understand what kind of medicine she was selling in this gourd, Dongxue also felt that this eldest lady was very weird tonight, could she still be in this picture scroll in front of everyone.

Thinking of this, Dong Xue took out the picture scroll, took a step back, and opened the picture scroll with a sigh towards Gui Chu Ying. Jiuhe Library

Gui Chuying glanced at the picture scroll with disgust, and scolded the girl who has no rules, this is a painting for my fourth sister, don't show it to her.

Dong Xue ignored her, and directly reversed the scroll, she wanted to see what was in this painting.

Taking a closer look at the lantern, Dongxue's face changed greatly, and he threw the painting on the table with a snap, and scolded what do you mean by this!

Gui Chuying sneered and didn't answer, she didn't bother to talk to a maid.

"Dongxue, what's wrong? What are you angry about? Dian Cui picked up the picture scroll on the table, and Dongxue hurriedly shouted

"Miss, don't look at it!"

"Don't look at anything," he said, and Diancui opened the scroll and looked at it.

After a while, Diancui turned her head to look at Gui Chuying fixedly, her eyes were eager, there was contempt, resentment, and a look of watching a good show.

Diancui is not afraid of the woman in front of her, she only feels that her face is much more hideous than before, and her eyes are no longer clear, although she doesn't know what has happened to her over the years, but it is also her sadness to become like this.

"I don't know what my big sister meant by giving me this painting?" Diancui asked straight out.

The evening breeze blows, and the large wisteria flowers on the picture scroll seem to come to life, and under the wisteria flowers are a pair of men and women who look at each other, the woman is petite and exquisite, combing lively buns, her eyes are cunning, and her face is covered with a veil, and one side of the veil seems to be slipping down...... Although the face is half-covered and half-hidden, the shape of that body is depicted vividly, if you are familiar with it, you can recognize it at a glance.

As for the man's back after a few strokes, he couldn't tell which one it was, only a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and there was a faint word "Luo" on it......

If it weren't for the other meaning of this painting, Diancui couldn't help but admire the subtlety and beauty of this painting. But now that he sees this painting, the anger in Diancui's heart is monstrous, but at this time he has to endure it alive.

"What do you mean?" Gui Chuying muttered: "You came to ask me what I mean, I don't know, but I just feel that there is a poem missing to match this painting." ”

"The spring of mercy and grace is now over, and Pei will return to the temple gate every day. The melancholy spring can't be stayed, and the wisteria flowers are gradually dusk. Gui Chuying read word by word: "How about this poem and this painting?" ”

Diancui frowned slightly, how did she know about this poem, she just read it casually in order to ask Na Luojing for a quick time.

"The poem is good, but the painting is boring and tight, now that it is summer, where is there wisteria? Since it's something that's gone, don't keep it. Xin'er took it and burned it. Dian Cui threw the painting in his hand into Xin'er's hand lightly.

"You!" Gui Chuying didn't expect Diancui to be so rude and direct, and she was about to burn the painting in front of her. This is to slap her in the face on the spot, leaving no trace of affection.

"You're going too far! I kindly gave you a painting, but you are going to burn it in front of me. Now that you are also a mother, how can you still be so uneducated. Gui Chuying's face was disappointed, and the training became more and more sincere when all the slaves were present.

"Send me a painting, whether it is a good intention, I know it, which ill-intentioned person made me too lazy to ask. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, the big sister wants to keep it, just keep it, if you like it, you hang the bedroom every day and watch, and no one cares. Diancui said with a bit of malice.

You came to disgust me today, don't you know that you are actually embarrassing yourself! It seems that her big sister is going back more and more.

And in Gui Chuying's opinion, why haven't seen her for many years, her fourth sister has become such a scoundrel. I wanted to use this painting to shame her, but I didn't expect her to have no shame.

In this way, Gui Chuying didn't know what to do.

"This Mrs. Yuan, the slave maid has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." The high-spirited maid beside Gui Chuying suddenly spoke.

"When you don't talk about it, you have to talk about it, why do you talk so much nonsense." Xin'er snorted coldly, she hadn't forgotten that her wife had told her to burn the painting.

The maid cleared her throat and said, "This person must have a sense of integrity, and if he does not have a sense of integrity, then he will be broken." Especially if we are in the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is not a remote place in the south of the Yangtze River. If you don't have a good reputation, then you can walk an inch. ”

"Oh?" Diancui squinted her eyes, the cat's eyes that were originally bright and bright have now become the sharpness of a leopard, and she said slowly: "Then which one of you say has no shame, and which one has a bad reputation?" ”

"This ......" This maid was originally the son of Luofu's family, and she naturally had a better face than other maids in Gui Chuying, but she didn't expect to be asked directly by the one in front of her.

"Reply to our lady's words!" Xin'er seemed to be smiling, repeating which one should not be shameless? All the subordinates who were doing the work on the side also stopped, some with brooms, some with dusters, and looked at the master and servant who came to find their eldest lady.

The little girl bit her lip, almost biting out the blood, and retreated indignantly.

Diancui sighed and said: "Today is a big day, the eldest sister wants to come and have a glass of wine, I welcome it, but if there are other thoughts, I advise the eldest sister to rest first." Today's such an important occasion is not someone who wants to come and mess around, what do you say, big sister? ”

"As for this painting, I said it, it has nothing to do with me. The eldest sister said that the second son of the Luo family was looking for someone to paint it, and I will go to Jing Zhaoyin to beat the drum and sound the grievances another day, why will my appearance be on the painting of the second son, do you want to ruin my reputation, or do you think that my family is kind and easy to deceive? ”

said it so frankly, but Gui Chuying's mind was surging, she didn't care so much, but her father-in-law was obsessed, which made her feel even more depressed and angry.
