Chapter 224, Lantern Festival
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the air is filled with the faint aroma of tea.
Wan Nianqing firmly occupies the corner of the wall, scattered with fallen leaves flying down. The green of the branches withered, and the leaves swirled in the wind, and flew quietly down on the hem of the girl's skirt.
The person cooking tea under the tree wears a purple placket that looks extremely ordinary, and a light-colored white gauze skirt is buttoned over it. The skirt is embroidered with a little ink plum, and the wind blows like a flower. It is covered with a white plum blossom half-arm, and the arm is embroidered with a pattern of embroidery thread, which is small and delicate. She also wore a very comfortable and warm cloak, but she had never put it on, but she had just draped it casually over her body.
There is a circle of fluff around the cloak, and when the wind blows, it is fluffy and very cute.
The young girl, who has become a woman, has black hair and delicate beaded pendants in a bun, and dangles in her ears when she moves. Under Dai's eyebrows, her eyes are dark and bright, black and white, like autumn water. She has long eyelashes and hangs lightly, concentrating on cooking tea, and her movements are elegant and skillful, as if she has done it thousands of times.
An Li observed Gu Mingxiu, and finally was a little satisfied.
Compared with before getting married, Gu Mingxiu did not continue to lose weight, but was a little rounder, but there was no fat at all, her cheeks were complex, and she wanted to pinch it ruddy. Her expression is gentle, her eyes are full of comfortable and lazy luster, her posture is casual and elegant, and she looks like she is being well nurtured.
An Li finally put his mind at ease, then picked up the teacup with a smile and said softly: "If you don't want to be alone in the house, just talk to me." I'll go over and be with you, or let them be with you. ”
"Don't you want me to come back?" Gu Mingxiu said, "People say that the married daughter spilled the water, I-"
"It's really a fight, it's all nonsense." An Li patted the back of her hand with a smile, and said gently, "It's just that you are now the mistress of Xiao Wang's Mansion, and you will still be in charge of the house in the future. Xiu'er, you're still young, and you still have a lot to learn, but... But I don't have much time to learn. ”
Her tone was a little melancholy, and she also sighed and said, "It's my fault, I haven't learned any housekeeping skills in the first place, and I can't say anything to you." ”
Gu Mingxiu paused, and before he could speak, someone cheered first: "Sister embroidery!" ”
Gu Liyi spoke out first, but when he ran closer, he saw An Li, hurriedly retracted his steps, stuck out his tongue and said, "Mother!" She rushed towards Gu Mingxiu, holding her arm and being a little happy, "I heard from them, you want to live in the mansion for a few days?" Is that okay to play with me? ”
An Ting was one step slower than Gu Liyi, and greeted An Li with a smile before saying, "That's it!" Xiu'er hasn't played with us for a long time, and if you don't follow us today, I won't agree. ”
"You two kids." An Li couldn't cry or laugh, shook his head and said, "Xiu'er, now that you have become a relative, you naturally have to be more stable, how can you mess around with you?" is so childish, and I don't know who to learn from,
I don't know if I can find my in-laws in the future. ”
She just smiled, and when she saw Qiao Wuwu following behind, she stopped talking and said with a smile: "Then I'll go back first, I think your sisters have a lot of words, and talk slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”
An Ting didn't see Gu Mingxiu last time, so he couldn't wait to say: "Xiu'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, how do I think you are becoming more beautiful now, um.... Just like Qingqing, people will become better looking when they get married. ”
Gu Mingxiu was dumbfounded, but just smiled and shook his head: "You asked this question a little well, but I don't know." "Shen Qingqing is about to give birth, because it is inconvenient to meet people, Gu Mingxiu and others may not have met her for a long time. Gu Mingxiu looked at Qiao Wu behind him and asked, "What are you doing standing?" ”
Raising his eyebrows and saying nothing, Qiao Wu sighed, and slowly rubbed next to the three of them, and then complained a little: "You are satisfied with this marriage, and it is very embarrassing to leave me left and right." He brought the teacup to him, and said, "I entered the house to treat you, but now I have run away, I'm this, this ........"
He touched his head and sighed: "Your general's mansion, there are still people who are dissatisfied with me always dangling around the two little girls, saying what it looks like for me to be in one place with women all day long." But this is not what I want, it is the two of them who are always pulling me, what can I do? ”
Joe was speechless, and full of resentment.
Hearing this, Gu Mingxiu laughed lightly: "I came back today for this matter." I was negligent before, and I didn't live with you. She said softly, "Xiao Wang's Mansion is very big, even if you go back to Xiao Wang's Mansion with me, anyway, you and Shen Huai also know each other, but you are not afraid." ”
"It's... It's not good, you two couples, I'm an eyesore. Qiao Wu said that, but his expression was obviously relieved, and a little joy unconsciously surfaced between his eyebrows.
Gu Mingxiu smiled and ignored him.
An Ting said: "Xiu'er, are you going to the lantern festival tonight?" We have inquired, tonight's cruise must be very lively, and maybe there are many anagrams to guess, my little cousin and I have prepared a lot, tonight will be able to guess a lot of lanterns! ”
Gu Mingxiu thought about it, but it didn't matter: "Even so, you can also go and take a look." ”
After getting Gu Mingxiu's promise, several people cheered and changed the topic again, chattering about something else. In the evening, when General An returned, after everyone chatted for a while, the ladies in the house were ready to go to the Lantern Festival. The lantern festival in Jingzhou is not much the same, and it is full of excitement.
Gu Liyi and a few juniors pulled Gu Mingxiu, An Yan and the others to go to the lake, Xu Shi and the others followed behind with a smile and swayed slowly, but after a while, they were divided into two teams. There were also many guards following Gu Mingxiu's side, and Xu Shi and the others were not too worried.
Walking and stopping along the way, he was a little tired after a while, An Yan naturally proposed to go to the restaurant to sit, but An Ting was not very happy, but pulled Gu Liyi and Qiao Wu to play again, An Yan originally wanted to accompany him
Gu Mingxiu, but worried about An Ting, Gu Mingxiu smiled and told him to go to An Ting, and sit upstairs by himself.
After repeatedly making sure that Gu Mingxiu would not wander around, An Yan went to find An Ting.
But I didn't expect it, and I met someone I didn't want to meet when I went upstairs.
"It's been a long time, Miss Gu." The person who played with the porcelain cup in his hand smiled casually, and his tone was a little cold, "No, I should call you... Princess Xiao. ”
"Prince Song." Gu Mingxiu saluted, and his tone was light.
Song Xuan smiled, sat up straight and said, "Meeting is fate, why don't you sit down and talk about today's beautiful scenery?" He casually played with the porcelain cup, seeing that Gu Mingxiu seemed unwilling and didn't care, "Let's talk, after all.... It's the first time I've seen you since the general's mansion was rumored to be guilty of rebellion. ”
Hearing the ill-intentioned in the other party's tone, Gu Mingxiu paused, and then said lightly: "Luo Feng, guard at the door." ”
Luo Feng was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't say much, just said respectfully: "Yes, princess." Don't forget to throw a threatening and warning look at Song Xuan.
Before he stepped into the house, he was quickly closed by the guard's hand. Mo Zhu immediately protected Gu Mingxiu and looked at Song Xuan vigilantly. Under the fireworks, the people who have always been gentle have no masks, and the chic and easy-going have all faded, and there is a cold killing intent in his eyes.
Song Xuan hooked his lips, but he didn't smile much: "How much do you know." ”
This question was inexplicable, but Gu Mingxiu smiled slightly: "What, Prince Song is now... Figured it out. ”
The haze under his eyes was immediately over, Song Xuan stared at Gu Mingxiu's face coldly, and crushed the porcelain cup with a force in his hand. The wine ran down his fingers, but Song Xuan didn't care, just said slowly: "I underestimated you, thinking that you were just a smart little sheep, but I didn't expect that I was the one who thought to be smart, heh..... but it was planted in your hand. ”
"What Prince Song said, I don't have any ability." Gu Mingxiu said softly, "After all, Prince Song's elite soldiers are strong, and I have no one in my hands, where can I have any ability to surrender." When she said the last sentence, the face of the person opposite became more and more ugly, Gu Mingxiu said, "It seems that ..... The so-called fish that slipped through the net are afraid that they have also been caught in the net. ”
As soon as the words came out, Song Xuan's eyes immediately turned red, and he gritted his teeth a little: "You, you...... Gu Mingxiu! Did you hook up with Shen Huai early! Scold! I should be a tall woman, but I am also a slut behind my back! ”
What he said was shameless and straightforward, and there was anger in Jiao Mozhu's eyes, but Gu Mingxiu didn't fluctuate at all.
Song Xuan thought that he had the chance to win, but it was just wishful thinking. He lost so many people, and the soldiers and horses that were finally left behind were completely arrested by Shen Huai a few days ago, but the matter was pressed tightly. Now that he is being attacked by the enemy in the belly of Da Shen, there is no one available, and he even lost the important chess piece of Dong Mansion, which was only angry when he was mentioned by Gu Mingxiu at this time.
Shen Yang was angry, and he was also angry, but he had no plan
Yes.
Today I just came to have a drink, but I didn't want to meet Gu Mingxiu. Seeing that the little girl was smiling like a flower and in good spirits, he remembered his oath that day, and felt that he was humiliated and ridiculed, and was played with by this little woman in applause.
Gu Mingxiu looked at Song Xuan's reddened eyes lightly, and said lightly: "Prince Song is drunk, so I won't accompany him much." ”
"Who gave you the guts to leave-" Song Xuan shouted angrily.
"Luo Feng."
With Gu Mingxiu's faint voice, Luo Feng kicked the door on the door, his posture irritable and neat. His hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword, and dozens of people behind him looked at the people in the room coldly, Luo Feng took away his stupidity, and he was full of deterrence: "Princess, your subordinates are here." ”
"Let's go." Gu Mingxiu said lightly.
"Yes."
Luo Feng escorted Gu Mingxiu and turned to leave, not forgetting to take another cold look at Song Xuan.
Song Xuan, who gritted his teeth, pinched the broken porcelain cup fragments, almost hating and wanting to kill, but he could only watch Gu Mingxiu leave the Yashe under the protection of Luo Feng and others, and went upstairs. He smashed the thing out of his hand and shouted, "Get out!" ”
