The night was splashed with ink, and there was no moonlight at all. After a while, the wind blew again, and a light rain began to fall.

Xu's mother closed the fan, and the room suddenly became quiet.

She walked to the bed, helped Ji fold the quilt, and said softly: "You see that the eldest lady is very good." Our eldest lady is silent on weekdays, who knew that there would be such a big movement as soon as she made a move...... It's a calm one. I'm afraid Aunt Song has a headache! Sister Lan has committed seven sins, she is the one who taught Sister Lan to grow up, Sister Lan's virtue is not good, she can't escape the blame. I'm afraid I'm going to alienate her in the future......"

The corners of Ji's mouth raised a light smile: "Sister Chao'er is very good, I don't need to worry too much now...... When I go, she'll be able to take care of herself. He covered his mouth and coughed a few more times, the phlegm was heavy, and his breathing was heavy as if he couldn't breathe.

Mother Xu was busy giving Ji a smooth breath, her eyes moistened: "Don't say unlucky words!" You'll be fine. ”

The fan was pushed away, and the sound of the rain became clearer. Mo Yu's voice came from through the curtain: "Madam, the master is here." ”

Mother Xu whispered to Ji's family: "It's so late, do you want to see the master?" ”

Ji shook his head and said, "...... Say I've fallen asleep. He also instructed Xu's mother, "Blow out the lamp." ”

Mother Xu walked to the side of Gao Ji, took off the lampshade and blew out the light, and the room suddenly became dark.

She had been sick for so long, Gu Dezhao had only stepped into her inner room twice, both times when she was ill.

Mo Yu withdrew from the inner room, walked to the corridor and saluted, "Master, Madame has already slept." If you are in a hurry, do you need a slave to wake your wife? ”

Gu Dezhao stood under the corridor, and the little guy next to him collected the oil-paper umbrella and waited. The rain outside the porch was blown obliquely on him by the wind, and it was a little cold.

He didn't speak for a long time, looking at the inner room that had been darkened, and the clear fish algae carvings on the maulle fan.

"Then forget it. When she wakes up, just tell her I've been here. ”

Gu Dezhao sighed, waved his hand and left with the little guy.

There was a flash of lightning in the sky, and there was a boom, and the rain fell heavier, like a scoop.

It's almost summer.

Jin Chao had just gotten up, his hair was only combed with a grate, not curled, and the green silk was draped behind him. She wore a lilac eggplant gown, which she didn't intend to see at all.

Qingpu came over and replied: "Before dawn, several housekeepers came to invite you, and Mother Xu came to visit in person." I followed your instructions and said that you were too sick to attend the second lady's ceremony, and they all went back after hearing this, and they did not force it. ”

Tsefu came in with two girls and put a few refreshments on the small table.

Jin Chao took a sip of tea, thought for a while, and said, "After the ceremony, the news of our sisters' discord will soon spread...... You go to the ceremony on my behalf, and see who is the guest of honor in place of Mrs. Wen. ”

If she hadn't miscalculated, Aunt Song would have begged her father to let the second lady intervene for Gu Lan. The praiser and the master can just choose two young ladies of the right age, but they don't have to bother.

Qingpu took Caifu to Cuixuan Courtyard.

Jin Chao asked Bai Yun to take her unfinished Bogutu big bandage and continue to embroider a blue-glazed vase with two ears and four squares.

……

Gu Lanmao got up when she was young, her heart was heavy and she didn't rest well, and her eyes were bloodshot.

Aunt Song came after a quarter of an hour and personally combed her hair and applied powder. She looked at her daughter's delicate and soft face like a lotus, and whispered to her: "Don't think about anything else, you just need to know in your heart that today is your ceremony." If you lose, you don't lose the battle, you admit defeat in your heart, and how good will it be in the future. ”

Gu Lan looked at himself in the bronze mirror, still a little worried: "But, mother, how can I still be comfortable in front of my father and Jinrong in the future...... I, I have already committed seven sins......" She has always been gentle and commendable in front of everyone.

Aunt Song said lightly: "At this point, you are not as good as Gu Jinchao." Since these things are irreparable, you can only act as if nothing happened. You were a filial daughter in front of your father and a loving sister in front of your brother, and you continue to do this...... Gu Jinchao is not without mistakes, the things she did were a hundred times more than you, do you think she has ever been shy? ”

Gu Lan thought quietly for a long time before nodding lightly.

At this time, Aunt Du and Aunt Guo also came.

These two people have always been wise in the Gu family, after all, their status is low, and they only gave birth to a daughter, and their status in the mansion is not high. Both of them had heard about the wing room yesterday, but they didn't dare to snub Aunt Song and Gu Lan at all, so they came to help early in the morning.

After tidying up, the group went to the hall. Gu Dezhao and the second wife of the Gu family's ancestral family were already waiting in the hall, and the Ji family attended due to physical inconvenience, and there were also the fifth ladies of the Gu family and several wives who watched the ceremony.

When it was auspicious, Gu Dezhao got up to salute, Gu Lan walked in and knelt on the seat, the praiser combed her hair, and the second lady, who was wearing the dress of the four-grade lady, picked up a sandalwood hairpin on the lacquer plate and a butterfly love flower golden hairpin inlaid with rubies, and with the assistance of the driver, pulled up Gu Lan's hair bun, inserted the hairpin for her, and bowed three times and three times. After the ceremony was over, Gu Lan looked at the viewing table, but did not see Gu Jinrong's figure.

Ji was seriously ill, and Aunt Song entertained the viewing banquet on her behalf.

Gu Lan thought for a moment, and took Ziling to the room where Gu Jinrong lived temporarily, where he was practicing calligraphy in the study next to him.

Gu Lan opened the bamboo curtain and entered the study, and when she saw Jinrong writing silently, she asked Qing'an to step aside, and she personally sharpened the ink for Gu Jinrong.

Gu Jinrong ignored her until he saw her move her inkstone, the boredom in his heart suddenly rose, and the brush in his hand was thrown on the bookcase with a snap, and half of the words were soaked in ink. "What are you doing here! Get me out! ”

"You didn't go to the ceremony, my sister just came to see you." Gu Lan smiled lightly.

Gu Jinrong stared at her very angrily: "I didn't go because I didn't want to see you!" Why do you have to be disgusted! ”

Gu Jinrong had never said such heavy words to her!

Gu Lan's face turned pale, but thinking that she couldn't get into trouble with Gu Jinrong, she quickly showed an apologetic smile: "I just want to come and see you, since you don't want to see me, then I have nothing to say......" Her voice suddenly lowered, and she quickly sobbed quietly, her voice was very depressed.

When he raised his head, Gu Lan was full of smiles again, but he smiled very reluctantly, and his voice was choked: "Sister is just here to apologize...... I don't expect you to forgive, it's just that we have been in love for more than ten years, even if you don't want to recognize me, I still want to recognize you. People are not saints and sages, and my sister will make mistakes, I ...... I ...... "The tears are already unstoppable, and I can't speak."

Gu Jinrong was frightened by her for a while, and his heart softened a little unconsciously: "Why are you crying, I wronged you?" ”

"I'm not wronged, I'm just remorseful! hated that he couldn't distinguish between right and wrong, and spread the news of his eldest sister in vain to damage her reputation...... But, Brother Rong, think about it carefully, my sister and you have been together since childhood, is my sister that kind of person? Gu Lan's voice was sad, "Isn't my sister also in order to live a better life, so she has to obey other people's arrangements and strive for some things to ......?"

“…… I am not a concubine, and without the honor of the eldest sister, no one will do everything in front of me. I can't help myself! ”

Her words implicitly pointed out that someone had instructed her to do these things.

Gu Jinrong frowned and looked at her: "If you don't want to do it, who else will force you to fail?" ”

Gu Lan took another deep breath and said, "Father scolded me yesterday, and the eldest sister doesn't want to be my praiser anymore, Mrs. Wen has already left." I'm having a hard time...... But I never said these words, after all, my aunt raised me. I don't care about anyone else, but I have to care about our sister-brother friendship for more than ten years, so I have to come over and explain it to you......"

Gu Jinrong thought for a long time before he understood, and his eyes widened in shock.

Could it be ...... Gu Lan is saying that it was Aunt Song who instructed her to do this?

If Aunt Song instructed her, how could she explain to her father that with Gu Lan's kind character, it was impossible to involve her biological mother! And Aunt Song wants to do this, which is even more forgivable. The reputation of the Jin Dynasty is bad, and in addition to Gu Lan, there is also her Aunt Song!

He also felt strange in his heart, strange that Gu Lan would become like this...... If it was instructed by Aunt Song, then it would be reasonable!

Gu Jinrong asked Gu Lan in a low voice, "What you said is true?" Be...... Aunt Song instructed you to do this? ”

Gu Lan bit his lip and stopped talking, just sobbing slightly, that was the acquiescence.

Gu Jinrong gasped, sure enough!

"She actually instructed you to do these things, and she is still your biological mother in vain!" Gu Jinrong was a little angry, and said to Gu Lan after a while, "Second sister, if she asks you to do this next time, you will tell your mother or eldest sister that you can't let you be wronged." But the eldest sister's side...... You—You'd better apologize too. Even if you can't explain it clearly, let the eldest sister know that you don't mean it after all. The eldest sister has a kind personality, I won't blame you! ”

Gu Lan responded repeatedly: "I am also very guilty in my heart!" ”

After these things, Gu Jinrong obviously trusted Gu Jinchao even more, Gu Lan thought to himself.

Transferring Gu Jinrong's anger to his mother, although he still blames himself, he will also sympathize with himself. And her mother has no direct stake in Gu Jinrong, and Gu Jinrong's trust is not important to her.
