Gu Changge got up suddenly, swept all the things on the table to the ground, and the porcelain cup ink inkstone on the table shattered to the ground, so frightened that Gu Xiaodie took two steps back, looking at Gu Changge uneasily.

Mingzhu lowered her head and respectfully retreated to the same place, not daring to speak again.

The virtuous bearing was completely gone, and the beautiful face was slightly distorted. Gu Changge was unconscious, staring at the void with a pair of round eyes, gritting his teeth: "Gu Mingxiu!" ”

It took her ten years to gain a foothold in Yangzhou, so that those people could ignore her identity as a concubine of the Gu Mansion and could only see her talent. She is a must in Yangzhou, but now she has been brought up again because of a Gu Mingxiu, and she has drawn the line of her concubine.

Miss Chang!

Miss Chang!

It's because of this identity......

Seeing the resentment in Gu Changge's eyes, Gu Xiaodie took a step back with some fear.

After thinking about it, Gu Xiaodie mustered up the courage to step forward and hold Gu Changge's arm, and said with a smile: "Sister Changge, don't lose your temper, it's not good for people to see it." Her gaze swept over the door and whispered comfortingly, "Gu Mingxiu is just a sick seedling, she won't live long." ”

Gu Changge didn't answer, but he didn't continue to be angry.

"It's a big injury, good sister, it's not good to hurt yourself for this kind of person." Gu Xiaodie saw that she didn't push herself away, so she had the audacity to say in a soft tone.

Gu Changge eased up, stared at his sister's innocent appearance, nodded slowly, and smiled slightly: "What you said is that I was impatient." ”

Gu Xiaodie breathed a sigh of relief, she raised her smile and was about to say something, when she heard a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, accompanied by a thin whisper gradually coming into the room. Gu Xiaodie froze slightly, and winked at Mingzhu.

Mingzhu retreated silently, and then immediately turned back, and replied in a low voice: "It's the fifth lady who is here." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a lively voice sounded from behind the screen: "Second sister, sixth sister, come and see me-"

The girl who turned the screen walked in with a stack of rice paper, and her tone was brisk, as if she was about to share something pleasant with them.

The girl's pink dress is playful, and the corners of the clothes are embroidered with narcissus. Her eyes widened, and her eyes sparkled.

Her eyes fell on a pair of sisters at the table, and when she raised her foot and was about to leave, her eyes fell on the mess and she couldn't help but stop, and her sweet smile disappeared.

It was Gu Liyi, the fifth lady of the Gu Mansion.

Gu Liyi raised his head to look at the two, a little at a loss.

Without waiting for Gu Changge to speak, Gu Xiaodie opened his mouth first. As early as the moment Gu Liyi entered the door, she removed the expression on her face, frowned lightly, her apricot eyes were angry, and she glared at the side angrily.

"I said I don't want to practice calligraphy, I've been practicing for so long and I still can't practice well, I don't want to practice." Gu Xiaodie was still staring at the side, and she didn't know who she was throwing a tantrum at, so she raised her foot and kicked the rice paper under her feet very impatiently.

The ink inkstone dyed the rice paper dirty, but the word "Shou" on it could be vaguely recognized.

"A child's heart." Gu Changge rubbed Gu Xiaodie's forehead affectionately, and looked at Gu Liyi with some guilt, "Fifth sister, scared you?" The sixth sister is losing her temper again, fortunately you only came at this moment, if you come early, you may be hit by this crazy girl. ”

Gu Changge called Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, find someone to clean up here." She grabbed Gu Xiaodie and walked inside, turned around and smiled, "Fifth sister, let's go inside to talk." ”

Gu Liyi blinked her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's not the first day that I saw the sixth sister angry." ”

She knew that her sixth sister Gu Xiaodie had always been lively, and she was the most impatient, and she was always easy to throw things when she lost her temper, so she just coaxed.

Thinking of this, Gu Liyi laughed again. She took the rice paper and carefully bypassed the mess, and followed with a smile: "If you don't practice, you won't practice, you see, this is what I practiced, and it's not half as good as you." ”

She spread the rice paper in her hand on the table and stuck out her tongue, a little embarrassed.

Gu Xiaodie was still puffed up, and she didn't want to take a look. Gu Changge walked over and looked at it carefully before he said with a smile: "Where is the fifth sister, I have made a lot of progress in the past few days. She picked one out and pointed, "You see, this one is very well written." ”

"I'm not as good as the sixth sister." was praised by Gu Changge, and Gu Liyi's joy couldn't be covered. She looked at Gu Xiaodie, who was still angry on the side, and said with a smile, "The sixth sister's words even praise my father." ”

"She is still young, she is curious about everything, and she has only been studying for a few years after grinding Aunt Qing, you see, she can't bear it anymore at the moment." Gu Changge pursed his lips and looked at her, with a hint of joke in his tone, "It's really only Aunt Qing who can suppress her." ”

"Hmph, my sister didn't help me, and she followed my fifth sister to bully me." Gu Xiaodie ignored the two of them, and didn't look at them, but said unconvinced, "Aunt Qing also praised me, my handwriting is better than that of the fifth sister." ”

Gu Liyi saw that her pouting mouth was very cute, and she couldn't help laughing, and she didn't care about the unconvincing in her words. Gu Changge looked at them gently, comforted Gu Liyi and said, "Fifth sister, don't listen to the sixth sister." If your mother is willing to teach you, you will write better than hers. ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Liyi was slightly stunned, and her face was a little unhappy: "My mother is so busy, how can she take care of me." ”

"How do you say that?" Gu Changge said softly, "The fourth sister is not in good health, and my mother is worried about it. Besides, the fourth sister and her mother will send some letters back from time to time, why don't they take care of you? ”

“… She only has Gu Mingxiu in her eyes, where is me! Gu Liyi heard Gu Changge mention it, and felt even more aggrieved in his heart, so he simply threw the rice paper in his hand, "What's the use of always sending letters, but not coming back to take a look at me, Gu Mingxiu is really so inseparable from her." ”

Gu Changge still looked at her gently and softly and smiled, and his side face evoked a mocking smile at Gu Xiaodie, who was looking at Gu Liyi, and then pressed it down.

She turned her head and pretended to be naïve: "I'm not angry, Fifth Sister, don't be angry either." I heard that the four sisters will be back soon, and they will be able to see their mother then. ”

Gu Liyi was stunned: "They... Coming back? ”

"yes." Gu Xiaodie nodded, innocent, "Everyone knows, Aunt Qing has rushed to discuss with grandmother." Fifth sister, you know too, right? ”

She asked innocently, seemingly casually. Gu Liyi's face was pale, she pinched the corner of her clothes and got up: "I, I still have to practice calligraphy, I'll go back first." ”

After that, he rushed out without looking back.

Gu Changge looked at her back quietly, his expression calm. Gu Xiaodie jumped down from the seat, casually pulled the rice paper on the table and threw it to the ground, and sneered: "It's stupider than a pig." ”

"Sixth sister." Gu Changge called her in a low voice, a little helpless, with a faint reproach.

Gu Xiaodie looked up at her and blinked innocently: "I also have to practice calligraphy, but I can't let the fifth sister surpass me." ”

The girl in pink smiled slightly, her posture soft.

The old lady lived in Jingrong Courtyard, and it was not far from Gu Changge's courtyard. When Dong Qing had just entered the old lady's courtyard, the old lady was finishing the scriptures and preparing for tea.

On the way here, Dong Qing calmed his mind, and when he entered the door, he was still gentle and obedient.

She saluted the old lady, and after a few words of gossip, she got to the point, and said with a smile: "I heard that my mother wants to pick up Mrs. and Siniang back?" ”

Old Mrs. Gu was also very kind to Dong Qing: "The people in the mansion may not have been reunited for a long time, and the four girls are almost fourteen." ”

Gu Qingyuan loves Dong Qing, and he also intends to raise her as a flat wife, but she was trained by Mrs. Gu in the end. Dong Qing was born in a scholarly family, and he is also a confidant and intelligent person, and he has never had anything to do with his entry.

Mrs. Gu didn't want to see Dong Qing at first, but after seeing An Li leave, Dong Qing took over the management of the backyard and never made a mistake, and treated people moderately, not jealous or quarrelsome, so she was relieved.

Mrs. Gu took a sip of tea: "I didn't want to do any noodles or a big birthday." Now that the four girls are back with An's, they will invite more people to meet the four girls. ”

Dong Qing's heart suddenly cooled. In and out of the words, listening to the meaning of the old lady Gu, she wanted to lead Gu Mingxiu to the people of Beijing, and confirm her position as the concubine of the Gu Mansion.

She smiled, and her face did not show half a point: "I have been away from home for so long, and I want to come to Siniang and Mrs. are also very homesick." She sighed slightly, and said with some sadness, "Siniang's life is hard, she lives far away from home at a young age, and she doesn't have any friends around her, and I don't know how much of a person is boring." ”

Looking up at the old lady Gu, Dong Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "It's okay to come hard, I don't know if this child will be afraid of life after he comes back, whether he is close to us or not, but he has to take good care of it." ”

Listening carefully, these words seemed to be distressing Gu Mingxiu, but after thinking about it carefully, Old Lady Gu paused.

Gu Mingxiu left Yangzhou at a young age to live in Chongming Temple, with only An Li and a few maids beside him, and there was no grandmother. An Li was originally born as a military general, so naturally he didn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he couldn't teach Gu Mingxiu.

The people over there in Chongming Temple also said that An Li cherished Gu Mingxiu, and he had never invited any teacher Xi, and he didn't know what Gu Mingxiu looked like now. Although Shen Qingqing praised it, they were all children in the end, and they couldn't see anything.

Gu Mingxiu occupies the name of the concubine of the Gu Mansion, and her every move represents the face of the Gu Mansion.

The ladies who came on their birthdays were all human spirits, and their eyes must be very picky. If Gu Mingxiu can't be like Gu Changge, Gu Fu will lose face in the end.

Thinking like this, Old Lady Gu's heart was not so joyful, and even a little worried and heavy.

After a little silence, she put the porcelain cup in her hand on the table, and slowly spoke: "The four girls and the An family have also been in Chongming Temple for a long time, and others have said that the four girls look good, so they feel a lot better." ”

"In the end, it's from my Gu Mansion, take it back."

Old Lady Gu's tone was no longer as gentle as Fang Cai's, and there was a little tiredness between her eyebrows.

Dong Qing observed his words and knew that his goal had been achieved. She got up and blessed herself, and said obediently: "I will prepare well, if my mother is tired, rest well." ”

Old Lady Gu waved her hand and said no more.

Dong Qing retreated quietly.

Returning home is a certainty.

The courtyard of Chongming Temple was quietly packing up its burdens, and it did not alarm the rest of the pilgrims.

Gu Mingxiu stood at the gate of the mountain, raised his eyes and quietly looked in the direction of Yangzhou. She was wrapped in a small cloak, and her face was still a little pale, but her eyes were black and white.

She curled her lips silently.

Yangzhou.

Gu Mansion.

Father.
