，

July will last until the third watch.

The bustle in the longevity garden has dispersed, but the front and back doors are particularly lively.

Even if there are carriage servants waiting outside, there are more patrols in the city tonight than usual, but the families in the prefectures are not at ease, and there are many fathers and brothers who come to pick them up.

In the Shilang Mansion, the sisters of the Xu family who Xu Chi came to pick up.

Not to mention Coco Wang's troublemaker, Xu Lingjie was still having a lot of fun today, and she was tired at this time, and as soon as she got into the carriage, she dozed off against the carriage.

Xu Lingyi helped Xu Chi's hand to get into the car, and when he saw his father's concern, he didn't rush into the carriage, but smiled and said, "There are few people who don't open their eyes, and my father doesn't have to worry about me." ”

When Xu Chi heard this, his hanging heart fell.

Xu Lingyi was about to say something, but suddenly felt that someone was staring at her.

There were many people around, and the carriages from various mansions were crowded together, greeting each other with familiarity, and there was no lack of movement of mothers-in-law and maids, but Xu Lingyi had such a feeling that there was a pair of eyes hidden among these people, looking at her all the time.

It's a really unpleasant taste.

She subconsciously glanced twice, but did not find the owner of her sight, so she could only enter the carriage and ignore it again.

Xu Lingjie was dazed and asked vaguely: "Why are you so slow, I'm sleepy, go back to sleep earlier." ”

Xu Lingyi responded casually and did not elaborate.

When she was followed all the way from Xishan to the mouth of Pearl Lane last time, she and Wei only told Xu Chi and the other people in Shilang's mansion, and they kept it a secret.

Although she wasn't sure about that gaze, Xu Lingyi vaguely felt that it was probably related to the people of that day.

On the other hand, Gu Yunjin walked in the carriage of the county lord of Shou'an.

She didn't have a father and brother to pick her up, and Shou'an said that she didn't feel at ease at all, and she had to send people back to Pearl Lane.

Gu Yunjin couldn't screw her, so he simply listened to Shou'an.

The county lord of Shou'an was still in excellent spirits at this time, and he couldn't help but speak by relying on Gu Yunjin: "After Zhongyuan, Changping and I want to go to the lake, and my sister will come together?" ”

Gu Yunjin smiled when he heard this.

These two little girls really refuse to stop at all.

Shou'an wants to swim in Pinghu, Pinghu is in the capital, the water area is wide, not to mention boating, even if it is a royal flower boat, slowly walking through the lake, it has to be an hour smaller.

There are several small islands in the middle of the lake, and the scenery is different throughout the year, and it is also a good place to enjoy and play in Beijing among the people.

Shou An said yes, so he took Gu Yunjin as a response, and waited until she entered the courtyard before letting the carriage turn around and go back to the Gongfu.

As soon as the Chinese Valentine's Day passed, the prefectures were busy preparing for the Midyear Festival.

Gu Yunjin and Xu sat together folding ingots, and Wu came over from the front and moved the pestle to sit down.

While folding, Wu said in a low voice: "I just went to find the eldest mother, the eldest lady means that she is not particular, and it is okay for us to put it here, but I pondered and pondered, this matter is not appropriate, and I still have to go back to Beisanhutong." ”

Wu is talking about the Zhongyuan sacrifice.

Regardless of whether this is Jiang Muyuan's house or Jia's woman's house, it is not the Gu family after all.

It is really inappropriate to set up an offering table in someone else's house and worship their ancestors, even if the Jia woman doesn't care, the three of them can't do such a thing.

Xu agreed with Wu's words: "In the same capital, the matter of a carriage lives in Beisan Hutong, and it is only three days left." ”

That's what they said, but when they returned to Beisanhu in a big bag, Gu Yunjin was still a little worried.

The reconstruction of the North 1st and North 2nd Hutongs is in full swing, and the movement is really not small.

Gu Yunjin and the Wu family are just that, they are afraid that the Xu family will not be able to bear it.

After greeting the neighbors on the left and right, Gu Yunjin entered the small courtyard.

There have been no people living for some days, and there is still a lot of ash everywhere, so Mama Shen took a few maids to clean up with their hands and feet, and let Xu sit down and rest first.

The offering table is set up, the Wu family has experience in doing things, and there is no shortage of tribute incense, and it is well organized.

Gu Yunjin saw that there was nothing she needed her help with, so she went out to find the Huang family's grandmother.

Grandma Huang was very kind, and told Gu Yunjin about interesting things in the alley for a while.

Gu Yunjin listened carefully, and asked again: "Is it still clean at night?" ”

"It's not clean," Grandma Huang sighed and said, "They built a house, and the time was tight, and they were busy until the day was dark, and the next morning, there was some light and work started again."

I'm old and don't get sleepy, so my children can't bear it and cry all day long.

Grandma reminds you again, I'm afraid it's even more noisy these nights, your wife is not in good health, it's better to live in Pearl Lane, so as not to be annoying. ”

Gu Yunjin listened to it roughly, but didn't understand what Grandma Huang meant, and when she saw Grandma Huang pointing to the pot of burning ingots placed on the wall, she suddenly realized.

In the first Zhongyuan after the North 1st and North 2nd Hutongs went to the water, if there were relatives in the family who were killed, they must have to burn paper.

It is not uncommon for new bereavements to cry all night.

With Xu's body, it's better not to suffer from this.

Grandma Huang pursed her lips and said: "The words of gods and ghosts should be respected, don't say anything from afar, and only look at Yan Qingzhen people if you are close, you will know." ”

Gu Yunjin was stunned for a moment, and then he realized Grandma Huang's second meaning.

The Midyear Festival is also a Halloween Festival, and the night is not peaceful, and children and frail people are the easiest to collide with.

Gu Yunjin believed, put it in the past, she would be suspicious of what she said, in line with the attitude of preferring to believe it or not, but now, she has lived again, and many thoughts are different.

There are probably ghosts and gods in the world, but if not, what is she?

Gu Yunjin thanked Grandma Huang and went back to persuade the Xu family.

The Xu family attaches great importance to the matter of sacrifice, and never hides lazily in keeping vigil, listening to Gu Yunjin's persuasion, she didn't agree until Gu Yunjin moved out the Wu Imperial Doctor, she nodded.

Doctor Wu is busy, and she only worked hard to see the doctor for the sake of Mrs. Jia's face, and the doctor is so dedicated, how can she, a patient, mess with her body.

Before dark, Gu Yunjin sent Xu to Pearl Lane first, and then returned to Beisan Hutong.

When I returned to East Street, it was a lively time, and many shops had lanterns at the door, and some people bought them and took them to Pinghu to put river lanterns.

Gu Yunjin thought about it, turned around and went to Suxiang Building.

She remembered that Suxiang Building had a private room on one side, and she could overlook the Pinghu Lake from afar.

Su Xianglou's business is still good, but unfortunately the private room on the other side is full, so she has to sit in the street first, waiting for the opposite side to vacate before moving over.

Nian Xia sat by the window and looked at the street, suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said, "The slave seems to have seen the big girl." ”

Gu Yunjin laughed: "Big sister must be wearing a hat when she goes out, you look at it condescendingly, can you tell who is who?" ”

Nian Xia stared at it for a while, and said, "It's the big girl, the one on the side is Qingmist, the big girl's clothes were made with the girl before, and the slave and maid recognized it." ”

With that, Gu Yunjin also leaned to the window and looked down.
