Duan Ling'er moved lightly, pretending not to notice the way the third child looked at her, she didn't care about these trivial matters now, she just wanted to do the business beautifully, but suddenly made Gu Changfeng trance.

She always felt that there are two kinds of happiness and wisdom in life.

One is to know what you want,

One is knowing what you don't want.

Not far away, Gu Changfeng was accompanying his uncle to enjoy the lanterns, Yu Linlang and his father were also on the side, Duan Ling'er saw Song Zhifu, and suddenly remembered Xie Ci and Song Yan, but the figures of the two of them could not be found.

And the women who were guests in Duan Mansion, no matter what kind of family, all gathered in twos and threes, telling boudoir jokes, and talking more about the rights and wrongs of other ladies.

There are also some walking, halfway encountered, the lamp is not appreciated, and instantly take out a pair of their sharp teeth, teasing each other, as if the words prevail, the whole person can be more outstanding than others.

Duan Ling'er shook her head helplessly.

This is not the life she wants.

"Sister." The third child took a steady step, and suddenly spoke, with a pair of eyes full of deep meaning: "There is something unknown for my brother." ”

"Why was I born to be a scholar?" Duan Ling'er raised her head and looked at the lights in front of her.

Her glass-colored eyes also contained the firelight, and she smiled lightly: "There are many strange things in this world, if it weren't for my own personal experience, I would find it hard to believe." ”

The third child was dumbfounded, and for a moment he almost applauded Duan Ling'er's eloquence, but he clearly felt that what the girl in front of him said was also a little true.

He gazed at his sister, and saw that her eyebrows were delicate as ink paintings, and her eyes turned with a light like fire

Duan Ling'er laughed, the red plush threads on the two little buns were very well-behaved and cute, and two shallow pear vortices floated on her cheeks: "Third brother, I'm tired, so I won't walk around with you." She turned around and was about to leave, but after taking two steps, she suddenly turned back and said, "That's right! ”

Duan Ling'er smiled playfully and said: "Third brother, if it weren't for the strange things happening in the world, my arithmetic would not be as good as you, and I ventured in for business that day, so don't take it to heart." ”

After saying that, she turned around, stabilized her chaotic thoughts, and quickly left.

It wasn't until she couldn't see the figure of the third child that Duan Ling'er eased her emotions a little, she stood on the small bridge and looked at the reflection in the water.

I will never be a woman who lacks physical strength and is unable to farm independently to support herself.

The purpose of life is to live happily, and if the person you like is fundamentally contrary to your own thoughts, then what's the point of liking it?

Duan Ling'er was thinking about her own business, when she was suddenly interrupted by a burst of laughter.

"Seeing a girl standing here from a distance and not working, I was about to reprimand, but when I got closer, it was Xiao Jiu who didn't know the height of the sky!" A delicate and sharp voice sounded, and Duan Lan walked over with a swing.

Duan Lan said unhappily: "Xiao Jiu, are you addicted to wearing slave clothes?" What day is it and what are you wearing? ”

There is also a beauty next to these two sisters, and the one Duan Ling'er has seen is Gu Changfeng's sister Gu Qingwu.

Gu Qingwu shaved her shoulders and waist, Gu Pan Shenfei, wearing a light green Suluo dress, the skirt was embroidered with bright begonia flowers, and there was a bouquet around her waist, which made her figure appear slender like a soft willow, and she had the cowardice of a flying swallow in the wind.

And Duan Lan never showed weakness, she held a golden beaded peach blossom hairpin, and the long pearl jade jade added to her delicate and beautiful color.

When these two people walk together, they only feel like the flowers of spring dawn blooming, like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is really beautiful.

Duan Ling'er looked at them, a trace of sadness faintly flowed in the depths of her eyes, but such a beauty put all her mind on the struggle in the inner house, and wasted her own effort and youth in vain, enclosing the wisdom that could have seen the world in a small fence, and thought that this was the true meaning of a woman's life.

"Xiao Jiu doesn't know how thick the sky is, so naturally he doesn't know how to dress." Duan Tong walked up from behind, shaking a fan.

"Tong'er, how can you talk to the ninth sister like this!" Duan Lan frowned lightly and looked at Duan Xiang, full of disapproval.

Duan Yun, who was still aggressive, immediately changed his face, went up to hold Duan Lan's arm, and shook it coquettishly, "Big sister, I'm just joking with the ninth sister." ”

Duan Lan's beautiful eyes stopped on Duan Ling'er's face, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiu is also a business person now, it's not the same as before, you have to remember this." ”

Duan Lan is Duan Lan, as the eldest daughter, it is easy to play the party that administers justice.

Duan Yun said coldly and stiffly beside him: "Xiao Jiu has his father's love, and the sisters are envious. Just now, she also instigated Gu Gongzi to teach Sister Nian'er and Sister Qing in the house over there, which is more promising. ”

When Duan Tong talked about Gu Gongzi, he gritted his accent as if he didn't have it, and it sounded like he was gritting his teeth.

Duan Ling'er didn't bother to have a verbal dispute with them, so she turned around and left, and the complexity in Gu Qingwu's eyes was deeper.

She couldn't recognize that the impolite and likable concubine in front of her was her brother's sweetheart.

Seeing that Duan Ling'er was leaving, Duan Tong hated it even more, she hurried to Duan Ling'er's side and deliberately stretched out her feet.

Duan Ling'er sighed in her heart, but she didn't see it, and walked straight past them, Duan Tong triumphantly hooked the corners of her mouth, just waiting for Duan Ling'er to make a fool of herself in public.

Who doesn't know how, I only heard Duan Ling'er scream, and then Duan Lan and Gu Qingwu beside him actually fell down with Duan Ling'er, and the three of them fell into the lotus pond next to them together, Duan Tong was stupid all of a sudden!

Duan Ling'er had a muddy face, as soon as she came out of the water, she immediately reached out and pulled Duan Lan up, Duan Lan and Gu Qingwu's beautiful skirts were full of mud, their hair buns were scattered, and the whole person seemed to be stunned, completely unaware of what was going on.

Duan Tong didn't expect that she originally wanted to make Duan Ling'er look ugly, but she inexplicably took Duan Lan and Gu Qingwu to be unlucky, and even affected her sweetheart, and she was so frightened that she couldn't speak on the spot.

The girls hurriedly pulled the four of them up, and several of them came out of the pool one after another, still covered with muddy water.

As soon as Duan Ling'er came up, she looked at Duan Tong, and sighed slightly in her heart, the tree wanted to stop but the wind was not quiet, the wind was repeatedly stirring, and the tree had no choice but to fight back.

immediately straightened his face and said with a displeased face: "Seventh sister, you don't like me, but how can you even push the fourth sister and the guests down together?" ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Duan Yun's body at once, although she usually relied on her mother to be of the Su family's bloodline, and the eldest lady was her aunt, so she never put others in her eyes, but now in this situation, she didn't expect it at all.

Duan Tong spoke incoherently in everyone's eyes: "No...... Big sister, Sister Gu, I don't have ...... I just want to push her...... I didn't know it would be like this! ”

Duan Lan's gaze hesitated on Duan Tong and Duan Ling'er for a while, she knew that Duan Tong was going to make a stumbling block for Duan Ling'er, but how she fell into the water inexplicably was a question.

Gu Qingwu wore her skirt wet and sneered: "The Duan family's Xiaojiu is so powerful. ”

Duan Ling'er met her gaze without fear, and even smiled slightly.

Gu Qingwu flicked his sleeves and walked away, Duan Lan stomped his feet angrily, turned around and went back to change his clothes.

Duan Tong was at a loss, called "big sister", and hurriedly followed, but he was reluctant to please Gu Qingwu, and he was so anxious that he almost gritted his teeth.

Duan Ling'er was wet and hugged by An Niang, who rushed over, and hurriedly took it back to Hefeng Xiaozhu and changed into the clothes brought by the Shen family.

The Shen family was talking to the concubines of the other mansions in the main hall at this time, Duan Ling'er changed her clothes and sent An Niang to serve the Shen family, and she wanted to go around alone.

She walked to the rockery with her head down, sat there and sighed.

"What's wrong with you?" Xie Ci's voice rang out, and she turned her head to find that Xie Ci was by the pond behind the rockery, throwing stones with a heavy heart.

Duan Ling'er shook her head, took a stone from Xie Ci's hand, and threw it into the pond, and the stone slammed across the water.

"I've had a great time at the Grange these days, but when I come back to the house, it's really annoying to have a lot of quarrels between sisters like before, jealousy and jealousy over trivial matters. It's like the whole Duanfu, the people around me, except for my mother and brother, they all think that I shouldn't go into business to earn money to support myself, and they think I'm disgraced. ”

Xie Ci looked at a full moon on the pond and said, "I think you did the right thing." ”

"What?" Duan Ling'er turned her face.

Xie Ci still looked at the full moon: "Although my grandmother is a woman, she was also a boxer when she was young, when I was young, she rarely sewed and cooked for me at home, but worked with my grandfather, and later went to teach female disciples kung fu to earn some household food and drink for the family, even if her stitches were not tight, my clothes were not broken." Who says a woman has to live in an inner house? In the event of war, women can also go on the field to kill the enemy, and now that it is peaceful, it is not a bad thing for women to not let their eyebrows when doing business. ”

Duan Ling'er's eyes were a little red, and she stared at the waves of the pond, trying not to let her tears fall.

"You remember, if someone laughs at you in the future, you don't care about it, the so-called face is earned by yourself and has nothing to do with others, so the so-called shame is even more stupid. You have to do what you think is right, and don't give up halfway, don't give up on yourself. After thanking him, he stood up and put all the stones in his hand in Duan Ling'er's palm.

"I'm leaving, I've been delayed in your mansion for a long time, and I have to study the case when I go back." After thanking him, he didn't look at Duan Ling'er, but from her side, extremely light, but he could also feel the temperature on his body, just rubbed his body and walked by, and walked into the lamplight without looking back.
