After a while, Gu Chaorong smiled bitterly: "I know, I know, but because of this, I hope you can marry the prince." You are the same age, and if you give birth to Lin'er in a few years, we all have a ...... to rely on."

Gu Xiyan was puzzled.

"We don't want to fight with the people of the Fang family." Gu Chaorong explained, "Only when the prince grows up can he be crowned the king and open the mansion, and there are also those who ask the emperor to leave the palace and go to his son's domain when he is in power." In the 129th year of Xizhao, Emperor Jingzong's virtuous concubine invited herself to leave the palace and took her aunt Concubine Yu to her son King Qing's domain; The imperial concubine of Emperor Xizhao Shengzong invited herself to leave the palace and took her sister Pan Baolin to the domain of her son King Yu...... There are precedents for these. My sister doesn't have a chance anymore, and she's all counting on you to take me out......"

Gu Xiyan felt sad in her heart when she heard this, her eyes couldn't help falling, she blinked her innocent and clear eyes like an elk and said, "Sister, you are still young...... I'll help you go to Qixiaguan for medical treatment......"

Gu Chaorong's face changed greatly, covered Gu Xiyan's mouth, and whispered in her ear: "What do you think my sister is sitting in this Chengqian Palace...... That's because I'm obedient...... Don't mention this anymore, you know? At the end of the sentence, the tone gradually became stern.

Gu Xiyan nodded sadly, and Gu Chaorong let go of the hand covering her mouth.

The two sisters looked at each other speechlessly, but there was no atmosphere of embarrassment or alienation, but it was as if there was a tacit understanding lingering around them because they had a common secret, and their expressions became warm.

Gu Xiyan let out a long sigh and said apologetically: "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't think about it so much...... Is there any remedy? ”

Gu Chaorong smiled teasingly and said, "Alas! Even if you want to enter the palace now, it's too late, and the time to choose a concubine has passed. However, if you really want to marry the crown prince, I still have a way......"

Gu Xiyan hurriedly waved his hand: "Sister, don't make fun of me!" I know it's wrong, can't I? ”

After a few teasing words, the atmosphere between the two has become warm and harmonious.

On the contrary, it was Gu Chaorong who enlightened Gu Xiyan: "Don't blame yourself." Like you said, if my sister really thinks about you, she should find you a family business that makes you a blessing and prestige. Sister takes this matter to heart, and she will definitely not wronged you again. As for your father, don't be afraid, with me, he won't dare to do anything to you. But you can't be as temperamental as before, you have to follow Aunt Cui to learn the rules, poetry, qin, calligraphy and painting, and needlework and female red can't be pulled down, and when you get married in the future, your in-laws will respect you......" She nagged and said a lot of things about the "four virtues" of women, Gu Xiyan nodded obediently, not feeling verbose in her heart, but with a sweetness in her heart.

That's what it feels like to have a family!

Gu Chaorong chatted for a while, and Mrs. Gu came back from the official room. Gu Chaorong immediately stopped the topic, everyone exchanged a few more words, and Gu Chaorong's face appeared tired.

Mrs. Gu knew that it was time to say goodbye, and after a few words, she stood up and said goodbye, Gu Chaorong didn't keep much, and gave Mrs. Gu a string of agarwood prayer beads, a ruby ring inlaid with the size of a grain of rice, and a pair of jasper bracelets to Gu Xiyan. When she took the bracelet to Gu Xiyan, the female official also deliberately whispered to Gu Xiyan: "Niangniang said that this is the old jade of Fengtai, let the girl keep it well, and she will be a dowry in the future." ”

Gu Xiyan looked at the jade bracelet, a blue color like water, the whole body was clear, without a trace of flaws, knowing that it was worth a lot, and thanked him again and again.

After leaving the Chengqian Palace and walking on the long red passage, Mrs. Gu asked Gu Xiyan in a low voice: "What did you say to Niangniang?" ”

Gu Xiyan said: "Niangniang said that she would help me tell my father." ”

Mrs. Gu breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly: "That's good, that's good!" ”

Back at the Gu Mansion, Gu Xiyan and Mrs. Gu felt that something was wrong as soon as they walked into the door of the garden, the atmosphere was deserted, and there was no one to greet them.

Mama Tian, who had been following Mrs. Gu and waiting, said with a smile: "Where have these little monkey grandsons gone......" Before the words were finished, the voice suddenly swallowed in her throat as if she had been cut by a knife.

Master Gu was standing quietly next to the small flower garden in the garden, with a smile on his eyebrows, an elegant demeanor, and a pomegranate flower that had just been picked in his hand.

Didn't he lie on the bed with a waist injury, how could he walk on the ground so quickly?

Gu Xiyan muttered in her heart, but she clearly saw that Mrs. Gu's body was trembling, her legs were weak, and she looked like she was about to fall.

Don't be afraid to be like this!

Gu Xiyan was busy supporting her behind her, but Mrs. Gu took the opportunity to grab Gu Xiyan's hand.

The palms of my hands are wet.

Gu Xiyan's heart softened and sighed secretly.

Gu Chaorong said that he would help her make the decision, what else did she have to fear. Gu Xiyan took two steps forward, passed Mrs. Gu, and said with a smile: "Father is not feeling well, if you have any instructions, how dare you come in person!" ”

Master Gu smiled, coldly threw the flower in his hand on Gu Xiyan's face, and asked with a pale face: "Where did Guiguan and a hundred years go!" ”

Gu Xiyan's sweet face was covered with a layer of ice-like coldness, she stared at Lord Gu with a cold look in her eyes, and said softly: "Father, how do I know where Guiguan and Bai Bai have gone." I said last time, because of chickenpox, my daughter has been worshipping pox at home for the past two months, which is not only known to the grandmothers up and down the house, but also in the court, and the case has been prepared, why is the daughter well, and the father is sick! ”

Master Gu was so asked that he swallowed there, he glared at Gu Xiyan with a fierce look, as if he was about to eat her, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth: "You ...... of evil seeds"

Gu Xiyan said solemnly: "Father said the wrong thing again. Evil species, isn't this slandering the ancestors of the Gu family, it should be a bad animal, the daughter was sent to the countryside by her father since she was a child, and it is inevitable that there will be a lack of discipline and education. Raising a child is not the fault of the father, speaking of which, the father seems to have a bit of responsibility! I don't know what the father of the evil should be called......"

Where does Master Gu still have the demeanor of everyone just now, and where does he still have the bearing of pinching flowers and smiling just now, he looked around left and right, grabbed a flower pot next to him and smashed it at Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan pulled Mrs. Gu on the side and hurriedly dodged.

Master Gu grabbed another flower pot and was about to smash it at Gu Xiyan. At this moment, someone shouted hurriedly behind Gu Xiyan: "Brother Baozhang, Brother Baozhang, stop quickly, the child is still young and ignorant, so it is inevitable to do something to collide......"

Gu Xiyan looked at Master Gu vigilantly, afraid that the flower pot in his hand would smash over, and he didn't dare to look back at people. Mrs. Gu beside her shouted "Seventh Brother" in surprise and joy.

Master Gu, who was facing Gu Xiyan, blushed, put down the small potted plant in his hand, and said with a shameful face: "Brother Zuo Cheng, let you see the joke." ”

Only then did Gu Xiyan dare to look back at the person who spoke.

The person who came was Mrs. Gu's seventh cousin, Liu Zuocheng. He is not very old, just in his early thirties, with an ordinary appearance, a pair of big eyes with a smile, giving people a very kind and easy-going feeling. He felt Gu Xiyan's gaze, nodded at her with a smile, and then took a few steps forward to greet Master Gu, and grabbed Master Gu's arm: "Brother Baozhang, this is all my sister's fault, there is no way to teach my daughter, and I hope that Brother Baozhang will look at the face of the third uncle, and don't worry about my sister in general." He spoke in a sincere tone, with a deep apology, as if it was completely his fault that Master Gu hit Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan secretly praised in his heart: This is a master!

Mrs. Gu was dumbfounded when she heard it, pointed to her nose and said, "I, how can I ......?"

Liu Zuocheng glanced at Mrs. Gu with a warning in his eyes, and then looked apologetic: "Brother Baozhang, you are angry." Although it is inconvenient for us men to interfere in the affairs of their backyard and house, my sister is too ...... Don't worry, I'll immediately repair the book and send it to Aunt Jiangnan...... I am a rough person, but my third aunt was born in the Du family in Shouzhou, Jiangnan, and she can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, so let the third aunt discipline and discipline her sister well......"

When Master Gu heard this, he smiled heartily, where was the half-point appearance of being extremely angry just now. He and Liu Zuocheng affectionately put their arms together: "Look at what Brother Zuo Cheng said, aren't I angry." In the past few years, Gu Fu has been thanks to Caixia, otherwise he might not know what the chaos would be. Speaking of which, it's all my fault for this, I usually spoil my daughter too much, and I have developed her character that is not afraid of heaven and earth. It doesn't matter if she's at home, but she's not too young, I'm really worried...... Leave a spicy reputation......"

The two talked and laughed and talked happily.

Gu Xiyan hurriedly glanced at Mama Tian, Mama Tian is also a clever person, and took advantage of the time to speak and stepped forward and said: "Uncle is here, but it is really a rare guest, Mrs. ordered to prepare tea by Yuanxiang Lake, it is better to accompany Uncle to sit over there and enjoy the scenery." Look, sir......"

Master Gu nodded with a smile: "It's still Mrs. thoughtful, Brother Zuo Cheng, don't live up to Caixia's kindness, it's better to go and sit by Yuanxiang Lake." ”

Liu Zuocheng hurriedly said, "Then I'll bother." ”

Master Gu was personable, made a gesture of "please" in a chic manner, and said enthusiastically: "In my inner house, only Yuanxiang Lake is still a little interesting." The row of silver weeping willows next to it was transplanted from Jiangnan when my father was young, and it is said that I was not born at that time......

The two walked out of the garden as they spoke.

Mrs. Gu's body weakened, clutched her chest and said, "I'm scared to death!" ”

Gu Xiyan vigorously held Mrs. Gu's arm, so that she was not paralyzed on the ground.

I didn't expect that the duel I was preparing to fight against Yayuri ended like this. However, she is still very grateful for Liu Zuocheng's timely appearance. Otherwise, although he has received Gu Chaorong's support, Master Gu is angry, and the county officials are not as good as the current ones, and they will inevitably suffer a little bit of flesh and skin.
