When the first sun rose on the horizon, Gu Zhaoyan was already sitting in the carriage back to Beijing, the road down the mountain was a little steep and swaying, which made Gu Zhaoyan a little sad, she leaned on the back of the carriage and closed her eyes to recuperate.

Gu Qifeng looked at her slightly pale face, felt a little guilty in his heart, and asked with concern, "Yan'er, are you okay, but you need to stop and rest for a while." ”

Gu Zhaoyan opened his eyes, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Father, I'm fine, let's continue to hurry." ”

Gu Qifeng wanted to speak and stopped.

Gu Zhaoyan shook his head with a smile, "I'm really fine, just rest for a while!" With that, she closed her eyes again.

Finally, after a few hours of turbulence, when they arrived at the Gu Mansion, the Gu Mansion and his party were already waiting at the door.

Gu Qifeng took the lead in picking up the curtain and got out of the car, Gu Zhaoyan couldn't hold back the churning feeling in his stomach, lifted the curtain, stepped on the wooden steps, got out of the car, and for a moment, her head was a little dizzy, Gu Qifeng reached out to help her, she smiled, "Thank you, father!" ”

Suddenly, a few eyes fell on her, of course, not a kind gaze. Gu Zhaoyan was stared at with goosebumps, but fortunately, it didn't last long.

Gu Qifeng walked in front with his hands in his hands, and Gu Zhaoyan followed behind him not far away.

As soon as the people at the door were dry, they immediately knelt down and saluted, and said in unison, "Welcome Xiangye back to his home!" Welcome home!"

Gu Qifeng nodded, "Get up!" Everyone bowed again and got up.

A woman wearing a beaded hairpin, black hair coiled on the top, and a silver chrysanthemum in full bloom pinned to her temples greeted her, her face full of worry, her voice sobbing slightly, and she stretched out her hand to grab Gu Qifeng's arm. "Xiangye, it's back!" Gu Zhaoyan looked at her appearance, as if she was a little familiar. In his early thirties, but he doesn't look old, and the charm is still there,

This is probably Aunt Xue back then, and Mrs. Xue now.

Gu Qifeng replied nonchalantly, and slightly sideways to avoid the outstretched hand of Madame Xue. Said lightly, "Has the Zhaoyue Pavilion taken care of it?" ”

Madame Snow's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air with some embarrassment, and she withdrew her hand and replied, "According to your orders, it has been prepared a long time ago." Turning his head to look at Gu Zhaoyan, he stepped forward with some enthusiasm and grabbed her hand. This is Yan'er, it's really beautiful!"

Gu Zhaoyan couldn't resist her so clearly, she didn't think at all how kind a woman who could change from an aunt to a lady could be, and how good she could be to a former lady's daughter, it was really fresh, but the etiquette still couldn't be lost, thinking of this, Gu Zhaoyan raised a big smile, pulled out the hand she was holding, leaned over slightly, and gave a salute, "I've seen Mrs. Xue!"

Mrs. Xue hurriedly dragged her up, "This child, what kind of lady is called, if you don't dislike it, call me..."

"No, just call Madame! Let's go inside!" Gu Qifeng interrupted her.

Mrs. Xue's face turned pale and froze in place, the meaning of this sentence was to remind her that her identity had not changed over the years!

Gu Qifeng didn't notice Mrs. Xue's abnormality, and ordered, "Tell Risheng to go to Zhaoyue Pavilion to wait for Miss Yan." ”

Mrs. Xue had just come back to her senses, and when she heard this, she hurriedly said, "I'm afraid it will be inappropriate for Risheng to go!" ”

"That's it!" Gu Qifeng waved his hand, "Yan'er, let's go!" With that, he walked in.

This time, Gu Zhaoyan was surprised, to say that there was no trace of emotion in his heart, it was impossible, he sighed in his heart, and followed with a step.

Behind her, Madame Snow's eyes were rippling, resentful, jealous, unwilling, and frantically surging, and she understood that it would be different in the future. At least, the concubine of the Gu family is no longer the only one.

Passing through the long pavilion corridor that folds in a few folds, finally walked into a leisurely and quiet courtyard, the courtyard gate is an arched stone gate, there are two clusters of lush phoenix tail bamboos on both sides of the stone gate, a white plum in the courtyard, it is already early summer, it is still blooming gorgeously, in addition, both sides are planted with epiphany, a few peonies are dotted in the meantime, it is very good-looking. The fan-shaped door plaque, the three big characters of the book Zhaoyue Pavilion, the glyph is beautiful and smooth, a light green tassel is tied on both sides, the breeze blows, and the wind swings lightly.

There were already a few people standing at the door, and when they saw them, they immediately knelt down in unison, Gu Qifeng nodded, "Yan'er, this is waiting for you, can you take a look?" ”

Gu Zhaoyan waved his hand, "Father, one or two people are enough!" "Don't really want so many, there are too many people, and there will be chaos!

The first one immediately knelt down, "Miss doesn't like them, the maid will immediately choose a new one for you!" "The man who spoke was sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was old in talking and doing things.

Gu Zhaoyan leaned over to help her up, "I'm just not used to so many people at once!" It's not your fault. ”

"You are the concubine of my Gu Mansion, these people who are waiting are necessary, if you are really not used to it, send them to the outer courtyard, and you can leave one or two personal attendants." Gu Qifeng looked at her and said in a low voice.

Gu Zhaoyan said helplessly, "Okay! ”

"Yan'er, go in and have a look, see if there's anything missing, I'll let them make it up for you later!" Gu Qifeng said softly.

Gu Zhaoyan nodded, pushed open the door, a faint touch of sandalwood lingered in it, all kinds of utensils were readily available, she glanced at it casually, and replied, "Father, I don't lack anything." ”

"That's fine, you can take a good rest, tell Risheng if you need anything, and besides, there is a night banquet tomorrow, you can prepare well." After Gu Qifeng finished speaking, he was about to turn around and go out, but Gu Zhaoyan stopped him, "Father, I want to go see my mother!" ”

Gu Qifeng paused, and then walked out of the courtyard without stopping, "When the banquet is over tomorrow night, I'll take you there." ”

"Thank you, father!" Gu Zhaoyan was slightly attached and gave a salute. When she turned around, she saw that the old girl was standing aside with her hands down, and when she saw Gu Zhaoyan looking over, she hurriedly lowered her body, "Servant Risheng!" ”

Gu Zhaoyan knew that this was Risheng, but he was very clever, no wonder Mrs. Xue was so unwilling, "In the future, Zhaoyue Pavilion will be taken care of by you!" ”

Risheng folded his hands, put them on his forehead, and leaned over, "The maid will definitely live up to the trust of the young lady." ”

Gu Zhaoyan clapped his hands with satisfaction, "Okay, I'll go sleep for a while." The rest is up to you! Risheng obediently responded and pushed the door open for her.

Gu Zhaoyan waved his hand, "Go get busy!" Risheng nodded, turned around and went out, and was about to cover the door for her, but heard Gu Zhaoyan ask, "Risheng, do you know Shuxi?" ”
