Hu Xianxian couldn't remember what he knew about Mrs. Gu, so he deduced that he had something urgent to leave. Hang Wuyi didn't really want to leave, so he asked her to see someone and then say, maybe people have something important to ask for, if they don't see it, they may miss something.

When he arrived at the small hall next to the main hall, he saw a noble lady waiting at the door.

"Xianxian, I haven't seen you for a few years, you don't recognize me?"

Hu Xianxian looked at her for a moment before remembering that she was Gu Changen's wife Hu Hairong, but she couldn't think of what she was looking for.

Seeing Hu Xianxian's lukewarm appearance, Hu Hairong smiled and said, "I have also met Dengtai a few times in the past few years, and he also said something about you." Please sit down and have tea, and our aunt and nephew will have a good chat. ”

"Aunt and nephew? Mrs. Gu, I don't dare to kiss you. Hu Xianxian and Hang Wuyi entered the room and sat down, unable to understand why Hu Hairong was so attentive.

"Although we are distant relatives, we always belong to the same Hu family's bloodline, you really don't have to call me 'Mrs. Gu', it's better to call me 'Aunt Rong'."

"Aunt Rong? I call Gu Ji's housewife 'aunt', and if outsiders hear it, they will laugh at me for being cheeky and climbing high branches. ”

Hu Hairong didn't care about Hu Xianxian's sneering, and slowly talked about some miscellaneous things. After Gu Changen died, there was less resentment in her heart, and she burned incense and prayed everywhere when she had nothing to do.

The Gu family's business once fell to the verge of collapse, but later Gu Sizhe gave up his studies and took care of the family business, and the Gu family prospered again.

Hu Hairong said that she was very grateful to Hu Xianxian, who gave He Dengtai a way to live, and thus allowed her and her son to live in peace.

"You're here to thank me?" Hu Xianxian believed that she was grateful, but it didn't make sense to come early in the morning to thank her.

"Alas...... Sizhe is friends with Ruan Shaolun, Ruan Gongzi and Du Zhendu Gongzi, and after they met the national teacher last night, they asked Sizhe if he wanted to participate in the imperial examination next year. When they were talking, they accidentally mentioned that you had also arrived at this idle cloud view, and I would come to see you. Well...... I want to ......" When Hu Hairong talked about the reason for seeing her, he couldn't explain it clearly for a long time.

"Is there anything you are embarrassed that you would like me to do? But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"It's related to Dengtai, he went back to Lingzhou, and I heard that he had some fights with my eldest brother. It was my eldest brother's fault back then, but he is my eldest brother after all. Besides, Sizhe doesn't know his true background yet, my eldest brother ......"

Hu Xianxian somewhat understood, and after He Dengtai broke away from Orihun, he returned to his hometown on the outskirts of Lingzhou. The culprit who caused the tragedy of that year was Hu Haizhong, and presumably He Dengtai would not spare him.

But when Hu Hairong saw that his son had a stable life, he didn't want to mention the old things anymore, and he didn't want those things to affect his son. Hu Haizhong took advantage of her psychology to blackmail her to keep him safe.

Hu Xianxian asked tentatively: "Is it that Hu Haizhong is afraid that He Dengtai will kill him, and wants you to stop He Dengtai?" If you can't stop He Dengtai, he will let Gu Sizhe's life experience be exposed, and let the relatives of the Gu family drive your mother and son out of the Gu Mansion? ”

Hu Hairong nodded to indicate that her guess was correct, and choked up and said, "No matter what fate I end, I deserve it, but I can't let Sizhe suffer."

Sizhe doesn't know anything, he is so filial to Gu Changen, if he knows that Gu Changen is not his biological father, he is a spurned illegitimate son, what should he do in the future?

The Gu family's business has been taken care of by Sizhe and Brother Fu with all their efforts in the past few years, and if I let those relatives of the Gu family take it for nothing, I am indeed unwilling. ”

After hearing her say this, Hu Xianxian pondered for a moment and agreed to the request. When they came out of the small hall, they saw Gu Sizhe, Ruan Shaolun, and Du Zhen coming.

After greeting each other, Ruan Shaolun said that Cheng Haofeng asked them to come here today to see Qiao and Shi. asked Hu Xianxian again why he didn't greet them when he saw them yesterday?

Hu Xianxian didn't know how to answer, Gu Sizhe asked his mother with some curiosity, why did he come to see Hu Xianxian?

Hu Xianxian put aside Ruan Shaolun's question and helped Hu Hairong answer: "Aunt Rong asked me to bring something back to Lingzhou, and I will go to see your uncle for her." “

In this way, he didn't continue to ask. Let's talk a little bit and say goodbye.

Hu Xianxian took Hang Wuyi to step out of the palace gate and go to the main gate of Xianyunguan, Cheng Haofeng and Qiao Yishi came together.

Seeing that Hang Wuyi was carrying a small burden, Cheng Haofeng said to her, "Want to go? Not allowed to go. ”

After that, he directly ignored Hu Xianxian, and walked into the small hall with Qiao and Shi.

This sentence made Hang Wuyi happy, but Hu Xianxian was a little sullen. They wandered around the watch, and when they heard laughter in a small garden, they went over to look.

I didn't expect to see acquaintances as soon as I went, and I was very happy to meet my old acquaintances in a foreign country.

When Qiao Chushi arrived at Bixi Palace, she took Sang Wenxiu and Ruan Wenyue with two apprentices; Qi Chuluan also said that Ye Saiying was an art investment teacher, so there was no need to follow her to practice in Qionglian Palace every day, and she also followed her to Bixi Palace.

Qiao Chushi wanted to go to Xianyunguan for Bixi Palace to get some magic weapons, and Ruan Wenyue heard that her brother was coming to Xianyunguan, so she pestered her master to follow. Since she came, Qiao Chushi brought Sang Wenxiu and Ye Saiying.

Du Wanzhi's second sister Du Wanlan came to incense with her daughter, and when she heard that Du Zhen was coming, she stayed a little longer. Du Zhen is her distant cousin, who returned to Wanzhou not long ago, and she wanted to inquire about her father Du Chuan's current situation.

Her daughter's name is Zhang Ruijuan, and she and Ye Saiying originally knew each other, and they also hit it off with others at first sight, so they played and laughed.

They are playing shuttlecock kicking at the moment, attracting some little Taoist children to watch. After Hu Xianxian greeted them in the past, he also had a lot of fun and wanted to play shuttlecock with them.

The small garden was a little cramped behind the large kitchen in the view, and Hu Xianxian proposed: "This place is too narrow, let's go to the open space behind the main hall to kick it, and have fun if we want to play." And they all agreed, and said yes, and the group went there.

The open space is between the main hall dedicated to the patriarch and the steward's room where Governor Zhou lived, and in order to show respect, the distance between the main hall and the steward's room is relatively far, and there is an open space. And there is a dense nanmu bush outside the steward's room, which means not to let the steward's room be vulgar and pollute the gods.

Governor Zhou temporarily placed the tea and wine in the utility room of the steward's room, and they were frightened for a long time, and they were sighing in the bushes at this time.

Hearing the commotion, they came out, and the wine shouted, "Don't frolic here, you will offend the gods." ”

Ruan Wenyue replied to her disdainfully: "What offended the gods?" This is behind the main hall, and there is no statue facing the deity. Besides, we haven't done anything bad, and the patriarch won't blame us. ”

Cha'er raised her chin slightly and scolded in a low voice: "The national teacher has always liked to be quiet, and idle people are not allowed to make noise here. ”

She used Cheng Haofeng to suppress them, Ruan Wenyue didn't want to say more, so she had to turn around and leave, and the others followed suit, all of them were unhappy.

Hu Xianxian was angry and beckoned everyone: "Don't go, let's compete here!" In the rules set by the patriarch, there is no prohibition to kick the shuttlecock behind the main hall, will Senior Brother Cheng be less friendly than the patriarch? ”

Everyone happily gathered around them again, and Cha'er and Jiu'er had to retreat to the Nanmu bushes and look at them hatefully.

Among the group of them, Hang Wu is 14 years old, Zhang Ruijuan is 16 years old, Ruan Wenyue is 18 years old, and Sang Wenxiu is 19 years old, all of whom are young and young Ai Zhengmei.

Ye Saiying is twenty-five years old and Hu Xianxian is almost twenty-seven years old, but the two of them are full of aura and have skills in rejuvenating their faces, and they seem to be like teenage girls. Even middle-aged Qiao Chushi and Du Wanlan still have charm.

Any one of these women will make people look at each other twice, and getting together like this is even more eye-catching. Originally, only a few little Taoist children followed them, and they kicked the shuttlecock, which attracted many pilgrims to stop and watch.

When people gather more, it becomes more noisy. Governor Zhou wanted to say that they were not easy to say, so he asked Xiao Daotong to inform Qiao Jishi.

Qiao Jishi asked a subordinate to stop them, and when the man saw that Qiao Chushi was also there, he didn't dare to say anything, and went back to inform Qiao Jishi.

Cheng Haofeng, who was also discussing in the small hall, also heard the reason for the matter, so he suspended the discussion and went to the corridor behind the main hall with them to see what they were doing.

"Nonsense! Chu Shi, as the palace master of Bixi Palace, how can you bring people to make noise here? Qiao Yishi first trained his sister-in-law, lest Cheng Haofeng start a fire to anger Qiao Chushi. Because he has already been trained, Cheng Haofeng is always bad at saying anything more.

After Qiao Jishi reprimanded, they all stopped playing, and Cha'er looked at Cheng Haofeng expectantly. She was a little nervous and a little excited, and the imagination that he would punish them severely made her sneer.

"If you want to compete, you should play well one by one to see who plays well and plays more. It's really nonsense to scramble around so much. Cheng Haofeng said solemnly, Qiao Qishi's eyes bulged when he heard it, and Ruan Wenyue and Hang Wuyi were already cheering.

Ruan Wenyue was the first to kick, she kicked the shuttlecock flexibly, kicking, kicking and kicking felt that one leg was not enjoyable, so she exchanged legs and kicked each other. The shuttlecock goes high and low, and the jump doesn't stop.

Two little Taoist boys spontaneously became counters, and when the shuttlecock landed, they both counted 613 times.

Ruan Wenyue bent down and thumped her legs, panting and laughing, "I'm amazing, right?" You just admit defeat and want to surpass me. ”

"Let's wait until we're all done." Ye Saiying will not admit defeat.

The shuttlecock bounced on her instep again, and she kicked and spun in circles. When she kicked five hundred times, she stepped on a small pebble carelessly, and although she did not fall, the shuttlecock fell to the ground.

Next, Sang Wenxiu kicked 480 times, and Zhang Ruijuan kicked 450 times, which was not as much as Ruan Wenyue's kick.

Ruan Wenyue was triumphant, and she was very unconvinced. But she wanted to kick more than Ruan Wenyue, and after thirteen sharp kicks, she twisted her foot and fell down.

Although they cared about her and asked her if she was seriously injured, her competitive little was defeated before he could fight, which made them want to laugh.

Hang Wuyi was so angry that he jumped on one leg to chase Ruan Wenyue, and Ruan Wenyue had the heart to let her, so she ran slowly. She ran slowly, but Hang Wuyi jumped in a hurry, and fell down Ruan Wenyue without paying attention.

"Okay, it's you who wins......" was overwhelmed by Hang Wuyi, and Ruan Wenyue was still laughing.

Qiao Chushi and Du Wanlan were busy asking people to help the two of them, both of them were anxious and funny.

"Naughty ......," Qiao Qishi shook her head and sighed.

"Well, naughty." Cheng Haofeng agreed.

Qiao Qishi and Cheng Haofeng looked at each other and smiled, most of them were smiling, and even the corners of their lips were slightly hooked.

These smiles were very hateful in Cha'er's eyes, and she said in a voice like a gnat and a gloomy expression: "Where did this Hu Xianxian recruit such a group of messy people? ”
