On the day that the news of the Xiying fiasco reached the imperial city, it happened to rain hard.

The showers washed the entire imperial city, but it still did not clear. Low dark clouds obscured the original color of the sky, making people feel heavy and depressed.

Chen Rui inquired several times, but did not get any news about Wu Wei.

I heard that even the emperor's people are looking for his whereabouts everywhere, and his life and death are uncertain.

Gan Peilin remembered what Wu Wei had said to her, her heart was slightly hot, she didn't believe that Wu Wei would have an accident. With his tenacity, he will definitely be able to hold on.

And Gan Jilu chose such a time to go back to her hometown to save her family.

Her carriage stopped outside the gate of Ganfu, and Wanfeng helped her in, followed by a string of maids with raw faces, all carrying gifts in their hands.

The housekeeper led the servant to meet him.

Gan Jilu smiled and said, "These gifts are for my grandmother, and these are for my father." These are for the aunts and sisters in each room. Mother and big sister, I'll send it over in person later. You lead someone to take the gift first, and follow me to greet my grandmother. ”

The housekeeper hurriedly responded and accompanied Gan Jilu into the Zen Heart Temple. The news immediately reached Liu Rumei's ears.

"She's interesting, how to pick this time to come back. King Shengqing's matter has not subsided, she returned to Ganfu at this time, didn't she want to plan for her husband's family, right? No, that's not a good thing. Liu Rumei stroked her stomach, her chest was still stuffy, she frowned and said, "Xiangping, you go and inform the eldest lady." ”

Gan Peilin got the news, but he didn't react.

Liulan had to remind him on the side: "Miss, King Shengqing is in trouble, and the entire Ao Mansion has followed." In any case, Gan Fu must no longer be allowed to interfere in this matter. ”

"I don't have to worry about these things. Father and grandmother must have known it. Gan Peilin said casually.

Chen Rui came in at this time and handed a letter to Gan Peilin.

"This is something that the prince of the Xu Mansion sent it."

"Cousin." Gan Peilin quickly opened the letterhead: "My cousin asked me to put the river lanterns?" ”

"Today's weather, put river lanterns?" Crisp Core was puzzled: "Didn't it sink after a rain?" Where can you drift far? Besides, this is not a year, what kind of river lantern to put on? ”

"You don't know." Gan Peilin raised his eyebrows slightly: "It was said that it was to pray for the soldiers who died in the Xiying, so I chose tonight." ”

"I see." Crispy Core sighed: "Then the young lady should go for a trip." You might be able to pick up some news along the way. ”

Rulan suddenly remembered something. "Miss, today's news is sent back to the Imperial City, I think there must be a lot of people to pray for blessings. The slave maid wants to go out of the house first, maybe she can find my brother. ”

"Go ahead." Gan Peilin nodded: "I'll see you by the moat later." ”

"Yes." Liulan left in a hurry, not even bothering to say hello to the crispy core.

"She never gave up looking for her brother, and she didn't know if her brother would be able to meet her when she was separated from her childhood." Crispy Core sighed faintly: "Miss, the slave maid will find a set of ordinary clothes for you to wear when you put on the lights at night." ”

"Chen Rui, if you ask someone to go to Xu's Mansion to reply, just say that you will see you by the moat in the evening." Gan Peilin saw that he was leaving, and hurriedly said: "I never think that Wu Weihui has an accident." Don't patronize the news from Xiying, pay more attention to the imperial city. If he withdraws, he will definitely return to the imperial city. ”

"Yes. Miss. Chen Rui nodded and left.

There was a dead silence in the room again.

After lunch, Mo Yanqing actually led Gan Jilu and Mo Chuxue to the Star Picking Tower.

Crispy Core's heart beat faster, afraid that Miss would not be able to cope with one enemy and three. But at this time, Liulan was not there, so she could only call Chen Rui to guard outside the door in case of emergency.

"This is a gift I brought to my eldest sister, I hope my sister likes it." Gan Jilu has lost a lot of weight. Especially the slender jade hands, which look like a layer of skin wrapped around bamboo branches, dry and lose the softness of the past.

"The second sister is too polite." Gan Peilin smiled slightly. "I love it."

Mo Yanqing softened her face and tone, and her expression became gentle. "Peilin, in fact, your second sister came over today, and I also hope that you can help."

"Please also ask my mother to make it clear." Gan Peilin naturally knew why, but he was just pretending to be confused with them.

"Actually, Ganfu is pretty good now." Mo Yanqing smiled softly: "Your father still holds important positions, but he doesn't have to go on expeditions from time to time. Although I have been involved in danger several times, haven't they all turned the danger into a disaster! ”

"Mother." Gan Peilin hooked his lips slightly, and the flow rippled: "You have always disliked going around in circles. If you have anything to say, it's better to say it directly. ”

"Okay." Mo Yanqing has never been so gentle, and her smile reflects warmth: "The matter of King Shengqing is involved in Ao Mansion, and your second brother-in-law has been suspended by the emperor and is at home, which is really worrying." Even Ao Sikong was thrown idle and scattered...... Right now, you're the only one who can help? ”

"......" Gan Peilin thought to herself, and the palace was not opened by her. She is not the emperor, so why should she have the final say. "Mother, father has always taught the daughters of Ganfu not to discuss the affairs of the court and China. If you don't talk about these things, your daughter won't know about them, and she really won't be able to help much. ”

"Why can't it help." Mo Yanqing couldn't help but be a little anxious, and her face was a little bad. "You just need to ask the Metropolitan Governor, let Ao Fu completely cut off relations with King Shengqing, and throw himself under the command of the Metropolitan Governor to continue to serve the emperor."

It turns out that Mo Yanqing is playing such an abacus.

She really underestimated them.

I don't want Gan Fu to take risks, and I know that if I can't move my father and grandmother, I can only use this thought.

"Mother, are you mistaken?" Gan Peilin sighed faintly: "Where do I have the ability to supervise and employ people." Even if I did, he wouldn't listen. ”

"No, it won't." Gan Jilu's eyes were moist, and her tone was full of pleading: "As long as the eldest sister is willing to ask the Metropolitan Governor for my husband, the Metropolitan Governor will definitely listen." ”

Mo Yanqing smiled a little embarrassedly, stepped forward and held Gan Peilin's hand: "Peilin, it's all your mother's fault, you have suffered a lot over the years." To tell you the truth, my mother was almost the first lady of Ganfu, but unfortunately your mother appeared halfway and passed me. I hate her and I hate you for this. But thinking about it in hindsight, if it weren't for you, your eldest brother Pu Yang, your father, and even our Ganfu would have suffered a lot. It's because of you that this unfortunate thing can be turned into a disaster. There is no lack of credit for the Grand Governor, but isn't he just thinking of you? Peilin, mother begs you, you can help your second sister. ”

It's really about employing people to face forward, not people to face backward. Gan Peilin had never heard Mo Yanqing say these soft words.

"But Mother ......"

"Peilin, don't be in a hurry to promise your mother. Mother just asks you to try your best, even if it doesn't work. Mo Yanqing wiped away her tears: "Your eldest brother has been exiled, and I don't know what the future holds." Mother doesn't want your second sister to have such a hard time. ”

"Mother, don't feel bad, it's all daughters who don't fight." Gan Jilu also cried.

Mo Chuxue never said a word, she looked at Gan Peilin quietly, without saying a word.

But Gan Peilin could feel that she even wanted her to help the Ao family more than the mother and daughter. After all, she likes Ao Suo.

"Don't cry." Gan Peilin was annoyed, and forced his temper and said: "Since my mother said so, if Peilin sees the Metropolitan Governor, he will try his best." ”

Mo Yanqing burst into tears and smiled, holding Gan Peilin's hand with slight force: "Peilin, then please leave it to you." You can rest assured that no matter whether this thing is successful or not, your mother will remember your goodness. From now on, I will never be embarrassed by you again. must feel as distressed as your own daughter. ”

Gan Peilin didn't say anything, just smiled.

The coolness in my heart penetrated into the bone marrow. That would only make her feel sick.

"Auntie, Chu Xue saw that her eldest sister's hair was messy, and she wanted to give her eldest sister a beautiful bun." Mo Chuxue suddenly spoke.

"Naturally, it's good." Mo Yanqing nodded: "Mother and your second sister still have to go to prepare for the evening." ”

Mo Yanqing turned to look at Gan Peilin: "Your father will come back later, let's have a reunion dinner together as a family." ”

"Then Mother will go and get busy." Gan Peilin wanted to get up and send him off.

Mo Yanqing gently put her hand on her shoulder: "You sit well, don't move." Mother will have you prepare your favorite meals. ”

The person walks out, and the door closes.

Mo Chuxue took the comb and said with a smile: "Is it okay for Chuxue to comb my sister's hair?" ”

"Not necessarily. If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. Gan Peilin stared at her.

"Sister." Mo Chuxue walked behind her and gently plucked her hairpin. "Your hair is really smooth and silky, thick and black. Do you know that when I was young, my hair was a withered yellow color? It was thanks to the fact that he was fostered in Ganfu later, and his aunt was pitiful enough to grow up like this. But it's always not as good as my sister. ”

"If not, it's up to you to compare." Gan Peilin has the impression that this is not the first time she has combed her hair. "I know it's not as good, but it's the most tiring thing to compare."

"Sister is a lesson." Mo Chuxue laughed self-deprecatingly: "The reason why Chuxue said this is to let my sister understand. A person who is not as good as you will undoubtedly be very tired if he wants to be with you everywhere, and more importantly, he will put in a lot of effort. can get closer to what he wants little by little. ”

Gan Peilin's expression was a little heavy: "You want to say...... Ao Xuan? ”

"It seems that my sister understood the intentions of the second son from the beginning." Mo Chuxue's nose was sour, and tears fell. "He ruined his future in order to marry his sister, this time, sister, what do you think he will do?"

Gan Peilin was silent.

Mo Chuxue continued: "Do you think he will ask for the emperor's grace and go to Xiying in order to make another war exploit?" Sister, I'm so scared, I'm afraid he will die just to get close to my sister! ”
