"The fourth sister was spoiled by her mother, thinking that we all had to let her."

As soon as the words fell, the door of the room on the side was pushed open, and Ling Qiao walked in respectfully, blessed with a blessing: "Fifth Miss, Madam is here." ”

"Since Mother is here, we won't bother you to catch up." Gu Changge spoke gently, but saw Gu Liyi clutching the sheets, and he was indeed a little nervous. Moving his gaze upwards, seeing the complicated expression on the face of the fifth miss of the Gu family, Gu Changge paused slightly, and said softly, "Mother has taken care of the fourth sister for so many years, after all, we are closer." If she intercedes with you for the sake of her fourth sister, fifth sister, you must talk well with your mother, and don't lose your temper and make her sad, you know? ”

Obviously, it should be the eldest sister's gentle and intimate advice, but Gu Liyi's expression suddenly changed. She was slightly stunned, and the hand holding the quilt loosened a little, and the nervous and worried emotions on her face disappeared, leaving only the irritability and shallowness of indifference in her eyes.

A hint of mockery flashed across her face.

Knowing that Gu Liyi had already had a different idea about An Li, Gu Changge smiled softly. She touched the end of Gu Liyi's hair and said softly: "Mother must have a lot to say to you, I will go back with my sixth sister first, if there is anything unhappy, my sister will come." ”

Gu Liyi didn't answer, just looked at the corner of the bed in a daze, looking a little listless.

Even satisfied with this appearance in his heart, Gu Changge got up and left with Gu Xiaodie. As soon as the two of them walked into the courtyard, they collided with An Li, who was coming towards them, and after saluting, Gu Changge said softly: "Mother, the fifth sister has always been willful, if she says something wrong for a while, please don't care about her young age." ”

Her eyes were lowered, and her tone was very sincere.

Gu Xiaodie nodded her little head on the side, innocent: "The fifth sister just fell into the water and was also frightened, mother, don't blame her anymore, if you want to be punished like Aunt Qing, Xiaodie can copy the book for the fifth sister." ”

The tone of the two of them was very sincere, as if they were really worried about Gu Liyi, but An Li didn't feel good when he heard it. She has been away from home for too long, for fear that Gu Liyi will not be close to her, but in the end, she is her own daughter, and now she is afraid that she is the one who has come to do something to hurt her.

A little bit of mixed taste, An Li smiled, but he was also relieved that the two of them were sincere for Gu Liyi: "Don't worry, I won't blame her, don't worry." ”

Gu Changge and the others nodded, and after saluting, they quietly retreated.

Turning the courtyard door, I saw An Li hurriedly entering the door, Ling Qiao went in and sent tea and came out with Mo'er, and the two stood guard at the door and did not talk. Gu Changge walked forward with elegant steps, but Gu Xiaodie, who was beside him, glanced at him restlessly, and asked softly: "Second sister, will Gu Liyi really contradict her mother?" ”

"The fifth sister is too young." Gu Changge smoothed the corners of his clothes and smiled gently.

Dong Qing is in control of the overall situation in the backyard, obviously as the mother of Gu Changge and Gu Xiaodie, in the eyes of outsiders, he loves Gu Liyi a little more. But whenever Miss Wu did something wrong, Dong Qing always gently and gently soothed her, at most she just punished her for copying books.

Completely pampered.

Gu Mingxiu would not treat her gently like Gu Changge, and An Li thought that Gu Mingxiu would also comfort this daughter, but for Gu Liyi, these two would be enemies who would not let her go well.

She smiled with a smile in her eyes, meaningful.

Schemes from enemies are not terrible, but knives from those close to them are the most terrible. Whether it's words or attitudes, they can hurt people.

……..

When Governor Shen's carriage appeared, Mo Zhu had already set up the tea, took out a few stacks of pastries and placed them in the pavilion. Seeing that the shadow of the carriage was half covered by Merlin from a distance, Mo Zhu'an quietly retreated and stood beside Agarwood.

Shen Qingqing got out of the car outside Meilin and came slowly with the help of the little maid.

Gu Mingxiu sat alone in the pavilion and tasted tea, took the wind and snow hat, but a few petals were still blown on his head, and even a few fell on the table. She lowered her eyes, stared at the plum blossom petals floating in the teacup, and slowly raised her head to look when she heard the movement.

"I thought you weren't familiar with Yangzhou, and I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to find the way, so I deliberately came early, lest you walk some roads in vain, but I never thought that you came earlier than me." Shen Qingqing left the maid, waved her hand to let her go down, stepped forward with the hem of her skirt, and looked at her with a smile.

The maid quietly walked to the side and stood with Mozhu and the others.

Gu Mingxiu smiled lightly, lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea, and slowly pushed it in front of Shen Qingqing: "If I teach you to wait for me for a long time, it's not right for me, and I have nothing to do, let's take a look at the scenery first." ”

Shen Qingqing sat down, picked up the cup and took a sip: "I know that you like it here, in the whole Yangzhou, probably only the scenery here will make you feel good, fortunately, you are the current Yangzhou, if you come back later, I can't show you." ”

Putting down the teacup, Shen Qingqing looked at her seriously: "Why do I think your face is a little bad, it's not as good-looking as the last time I saw you in the temple." ”

"I'm not in good health, and you've probably heard of it." Gu Mingxiu stared at the petals on the table and said lightly.

Shen Qingqing nodded: "On the second day you came back, I handed over a post to invite you to meet, but I ignored this point and never let you have a good rest." ”

Shaking his head, Gu Mingxiu shook his head to meet Shen Qingqing's gaze, and smiled slightly: "I obviously want to thank you for inviting me out, but let me be clear for a while." She casually turned her gaze, with a slight smile in her tone, "I'm afraid that I can't do it if I want to rest for a while in the house." ”

Instantly realized, a few traces of disdain flashed on Shen Qingqing's face: "Which sister of yours is how?" ”

Gu Mingxiu said: "The second sister is gentle and intelligent, and she is indeed intimate. ”

Before the words fell, Shen Qingqing sneered and looked at her with a smile: "Miss Gu Family, don't be a drama in front of me, I don't believe you can't see the true face of your sister." ”

Calmly meeting the other party's gaze, Gu Mingxiu said, "What if you see it?" She smiled slightly, her tone a little meaningful, "It's fun to pick it up." ”

When Shen Qingqing heard this, he should have picked up the cup for a moment, and then put it back on the table. She looked at Gu Mingxiu, the emotion in her eyes was unclear.

The back house is calculating, Shen Qingqing knows. In addition to her mother, Governor Shen's family also has several aunts, but she is the only child in the courtyard, so there are no twists and turns. She is very favored in the Shen family, and her parents never reprimand her, so at this moment, she has a little understanding of Gu Mingxiu's situation at home.

Gu Changge is too smart and his kung fu is too good, so sooner or later he will take away Gu Ming's embroidery.

Shen Qingqing didn't know the true situation of Gu Mingxiu, but simply thought that she was at odds with Gu Changge. She didn't like Gu Changge in the first place, but she didn't feel uncomfortable listening to it.

She said, "What are you going to do?" The Governor can help you. ”

Gu Mingxiu raised her eyes to look at her, her eyes were a little meaningful, as if she was thinking about the truth of Shen Qingqing's words, but she played with the porcelain cup in her hand and did not respond.

"If you need the governor's help, just ask." Shen Qingqing said again.

Gu Mingxiu smiled faintly: "Some things can't be accepted at will, and some plans are not petty," she glanced at Shen Qingqing meaningfully, and there was a slight chill in her eyes, "It may even implicate a family and hundreds of lives." ”

Shen Qingqing was slightly stunned, and she unconsciously tightened her fingers when she saw it like this. After a moment of silence, Shen Qingqing raised his head and said, "Then don't implicate the governor's family, if you have any request, I can help you." As if thinking of something, she smiled slightly, and was in a very happy mood, "I, Shen Qingqing, don't have many friends in Yangzhou, but there are a lot of people who can do things." ”

"My friend, Gu Mingxiu, you are one."

She said frankly and didn't feel anything wrong: "I like your temperament very much, you said that you have a fate to say goodbye....although it is artificial, but we still say goodbye, is it considered a kind of fate?" ”

Gu Mingxiu smiled faintly: "People are determined by heaven, and they are all the same word." ”

Hearing this, Shen Qingqing smiled, she picked up a piece of pastry, and asked casually: "Do you know Yilan Garden?" ”

Gu Mingxiu nodded: "I've heard a little." ”

Yilan Garden is the largest entertainment shop in Yangzhou, with restaurants and elegant seats, splendid pavilions, pot throwers, and sheng singing and dancing sleeves. The park is for the literati to talk about poetry and talents, and also for the children of the nobles to have fun and pastime, and many children of families in Yangzhou like to come and go here to play.

The furnishings in the park are elegant, and they are all very valuable.

There are also many people who like to come here to discuss business, just because the rule of Yilan Garden is that those who come are guests, and they don't ask for a way out.

In the previous life, there were many things in Yilan Garden, but all of them were suppressed. When she was doing things for that person, she had also dealt with Yilan Yuan a few times, and it was indeed difficult to break the rules. He also checked who the owner behind Yilan Garden was, but he couldn't find out the slightest rumor, and then the first emperor died, he ascended the throne, and Yilan Garden quietly evacuated, and overnight, people left the building.

Gu Mingxiu lowered her eyes slowly, and Yilan Yuan in this life will be her greatest help.

"In a few days, Yilan Garden will hand out posts and invite many young ladies of the family to listen to the wind platform in the park, in order to enjoy the last snow of the year." Shen Qingqing said.

Yilan Garden is indeed a place to do business, but it is another thing to listen to the wind station in the garden to send posts.

Tingfengtai is the place where the annual cultural meeting in Yangzhou is held, the so-called literary meeting is a place for the young ladies to show their talents, Shen Qingqing also won the title of the first chess in Yangzhou here, and Gu Changge is also called a unique place in Yangzhou because of this place.

The plum blossom post sent by Tingfeng Tai is for those people who are recorded in Yangzhou and have excellent talents.

How many people participate in the literary meeting every year, although they can get the entry post of the listening platform, but they can rarely get the plum blossom post.

Gu Changge won the top spot for three years in a row before he received the entry post in the fourth year.

Shen Qingqing knocked on the table and smiled slightly: "The owner of Yilan Garden invited me to set up a chess game and gave me a post in advance. Gu Changge and the others probably don't know yet, I'll send you one at that time. ”
