After a while, Gu Wanyin called Danzhi and the two to fetch water to freshen up.

After finishing grooming, Gu Wanyin said, "Is the prince going to rest for a while, or is he going somewhere else?" ”

"I'm waiting for you here." Zhou Ruijing has never liked to deal with people, so he said.

"That's good." Gu Wanyin nodded, thought about it and said with a smile: "If the prince is bored, go to the study to find a few books to read." I'll be back soon. ”

As he spoke, he got up and went first. Only the winter scenery was left to serve in the house.

Walking out of the courtyard, Danzhi saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said what Fang Dongjing said;

Gu Wanyin was also confused after hearing this, and couldn't figure out why she thought about it for a long time. But Danzhi came simply: "Why don't you ask Qinggui?" She must have known. ”

"Okay, I'll find a chance for you later, you can ask quietly." After thinking about it, she thought it was a good idea. Not only can you know what is going on, but you can also test and tempt. Let's see what Qinggui is thinking.

As he spoke, he arrived outside Gu Yingyin's courtyard, but saw that the gate was closed and he looked deserted.

Danzhi stepped forward and knocked, and after a while, a person poked out of it, Gu Wanyin could see clearly, this was the old lady's grandmother in the yard, and she didn't expect that she was sent to guard the door.

"It turned out to be the princess." The woman laughed, in the end, it was the person next to the old lady, although the attitude was a little flattering, but there was no flattery. "The princess is here to see the third lady? Come in, come in, the sun is big outside, and it's not good to have the princess. ”

As she spoke, the woman opened the door wide for them to enter.

Gu Wanyin and Danzhi entered the courtyard, and Qing Gui, who was guarding outside, saw it. Immediately, he hurriedly stood up, and greeted him while greeting him: "The princess." ”

Gu Wanyin nodded. "What about the third lady? Go in and report it. ”

Qinggui hurriedly went in again to report. It's just that Gu Wanyin saw that she only said a word from the outside to the inside, so she withdrew. I couldn't help but be a little surprised at the moment - looking at this posture, Qinggui didn't seem to be waiting by Gu Yingyin's side anymore?

Don't let them think about it, there is already a grandmother in the house, but this grandmother happens to be recognized by Gu Wanyin - and one of the most powerful old people around the old lady. has followed the old lady for many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the right hand of the old lady.

But I didn't expect to see it here in Gu Yingyin.

Surprise to surprise, Gu Wanyin finally suppressed her emotions in her heart, and nodded calmly to the grandmother. Enough face.

The grandmother naturally smiled: "The princess, please come in, and wait in the outer hall for a while." The third lady just got up from a nap. The appearance is not neat, and it is inconvenient to meet guests. ”

"It's okay, I'm here early." Gu Wanyin smiled slightly, sat down on the chair calmly, and waited patiently. As for Qinggui and Danzhi, they had already retreated outside to wait.

Gu Wanyin looked at the bottom of her eyes, but her face did not show half a look. If I'm not mistaken, when I go back. She would also be able to know what had happened between Gu Yingyin and the Qi family.

Another moment. Gu Yingyin was late, and there were red marks on her face, and she really looked like she had just fallen asleep.

Gu Yingyin met Gu Wanyin. At that moment, there was a smile on his face, and he saluted in a proper manner: "The princess." Look at that posture, it is not at all different from the perfunctory appearance of the past, the action is standard, the demeanor is respectful, and there is no disobedience in the past.

Gu Wanyin couldn't help but be surprised, and forgot to speak for a while. After coming back to her senses for a while, she covered up her surprise with a smile: "The third sister has changed a lot recently. While speaking, he looked Gu Yingyin up and down: "It's more beautiful than before." "It's beautiful, but it's not in appearance, it's in the rules of action.

At least, she looks like a gentle and elegant young lady; But it's just like the surface - a young lady who dares to beat her aunt, no matter how gentle she is, it won't help.

If this matter gets out, Gu Yingyin will only be regarded as a shrew.

Gu Yingyin naturally didn't know what Gu Wanyin really thought in her heart, but she didn't believe that Gu Wanyin would praise her, and she subconsciously showed a disdainful look on her face.

"Ahem." As soon as Gu Yingyin's face changed, the grandmother standing on the side coughed. The voice is not loud, but it is extremely serious.

Then something happened that made Gu Wanyin even more surprised - as soon as she heard the coughing sound, Gu Yingyin immediately restrained the look on her face, and returned to her demure and gentle appearance. The movements are extremely fast, as if they are well trained.

"How is the third sister's dowry prepared?" Gu Wanyin suppressed the surprise in her heart and asked with a smile.

Gu Yingyin smiled slightly, pursed her lips and bowed her head and replied, "It's almost the same, only some embroidery work has not been done yet." My sister knows that I am not good at this, so I am doing it slowly. ”

"It's okay, take your time, there's still time." Gu Wanyin smiled, glanced at the grandmother who had been standing next to her and refused to take a step back, and said, "Third sister, don't worry, the people on the Zhou family's side are very easy to get along with." Especially Ruiming, Xingzi is good, and his appearance is superior, I believe that after the third sister marries, Ruiming will definitely treat you well. ”

The expression on Gu Yingyin's face did not change, as if it had been condensed into a sculpture, and when she talked about Zhou Ruijing, she didn't react, just whispered. Naturally, it can also be regarded as shy.

"I heard from my grandmother that the third sister has been taking care of Aunt Qi recently? Also, after all, it is our mother-in-law, and we should also do our best. Gu Wanyin deliberately mentioned this matter, and carefully looked at Gu Yingyin's reaction while talking: "Speaking of which, Aunt Qi has been taking care of the third sister recently, and I heard that she also helped the third sister take care of the dowry. ”

Gu Yingyin's face stiffened, but she didn't have much annoyance, raised her eyes and quickly glanced at Gu Wanyin, and then at the grandmother standing next to her. Finally, he lowered his head again and said "En" softly.

Gu Wanyin felt that when Gu Yingyin looked at her grandmother, her eyes were clearly scared and afraid.

After thinking about it slightly, she suddenly realized that Gu Yingyin had changed so much today, it turned out that it was because of this grandmother! Presumably, this grandmother was instructed by the old lady. What means did you use to deter Gu Yingyin? Otherwise, according to the xingzi of Gu Yin. How can you bow your head easily? Especially was suppressed by a subordinate......

At that moment, she couldn't help but glance at the mama, but the mama was still standing there with a smile, looking kind and lovely, and there was nothing abnormal.

After talking for a while, Gu Yingyin kept that posture, and when she spoke alone, she gradually couldn't find a topic. Coupled with the fact that the end of Xun Si Danzhi was almost over, she got up and said goodbye: "It's not early, I have to go back in a hurry." Let's not talk about it anymore. ”

"The princess walks slowly." Gu Yingyin said very politely, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find. She was visibly relieved. Such rules are indeed uncomfortable. Especially Gu Yingyin, who has always been unaware of the rules.

Gu Wanyin suddenly felt that Gu Yingyin was indeed a little pitiful like this-she was forced to learn the rules like this, and she was subjected to Xiànzhi everywhere...... It can be seen that in this world, there is indeed a cycle of cause and effect. If it weren't for Gu Yingyin, who was too ignorant of the rules and too ignorant, and who didn't know how to restrain herself, how could she end up like today?

If Gu Yingyin thought more about the consequences when she acted, it wouldn't be like this;

Gu Wanyin and Danzhi walked out of the courtyard gate. Then he heard the door behind him shut. Gu Yingyin. Even the freedom to go out at will is gone.

Gu Wanyin couldn't help but sigh. It's not that I sympathize with Gu Yingyin, but I feel a little emotional.

"Do you want to say it now, or do you want to go back and talk about it?" Danzhi asked softly. Fang Cai Qinggui talked to her a lot.

"Let's go back and talk about it." Seeing Gu Yingyin like this, she was really a little tired.

The two went back to the house, but saw Zhou Ruijing holding a book reading, Gu Wanyin leaned in to take a look, but it was a travelogue. couldn't help laughing at the moment: "The prince also looks at this?" ”

"Why not?" Zhou Ruijing raised the book in his hand, and glanced at her with the corners of his lips curled slightly: "As the saying goes, it is better to read ten thousand books than to travel ten thousand miles." You can't go by yourself, but you can also learn a thing or two by looking at the travelogue. ”

"The prince should have been to a lot of places over the years, right?" Although I didn't go to a famous place of mountains and rivers, I also experienced a lot of side plugging style, right?

Zhou Ruijing seemed to understand what she was thinking, and immediately told her about the places he had been: "I can't remember the place where my father was stationed, but I remember that it was very cold in winter and the wind and sand were extremely windy. The place where I joined the army is Miaojiang, and the scenery is excellent, but there are many miasma poisonous insects. This alone makes my army suffer so much. As soon as the Miao people entered the woods, they were slippery like loaches. There are also Miao girls, which cannot be underestimated. The Miao people are good at using poisonous insects, especially some local Gu poisonous ......"

Listening to Zhou Ruijing's eloquent words, Gu Wanyin only felt that a picture scroll had unfolded in front of her. But what he saw was not the beautiful scenery, but the sinister, dangerous, and hardships he had experienced.

"If you let the prince choose again, will you still go to Miaojiang?" Gu Wanyin asked softly. "Such a dangerous and bad place, will the prince go again?"

Zhou Ruijing paused, showing a little smile, but his eyes were still resolute: "It's just a poisonous insect miasma, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

Seeing his expression, she suddenly understood why Zhou Ruijing was so famous at such a young age. smiled slightly, his eyes fluttered, and his eyes looked at him brightly: "I heard that the prince has also suppressed bandits." It was that time that he got the nickname "Cold-faced Killing God". Because of this, no one dares to marry a noble girl in Beijing. If not, how could she have been chosen? Speaking of which, her luck was not ordinarily good.

"Well, I went once." Zhou Ruijing seemed to remember something and frowned. "It's just a rabble, I don't know why the imperial court can't be exterminated many times."

"How can Jing Guan compare with you who have fought on the battlefield with real swords and guns?" Gu Wanyin laughed, but sighed in her heart. The officials in Beijing are all read by books, how do they know this? It's just talk on paper.

"Speaking of which, how does your brother think about it?" Zhou Ruijing suddenly mentioned Gu Congrui: "If you want to go with your father, you have to be faster." Not to other places, but also about the same time. Moreover, it depends on whether he will go with the imperial court conscription or report it himself. ”

"I'll ask in the evening. I just talked to my grandmother today. After thinking about it, she hurriedly ordered: "Don't do the things you went to the battlefield in front of your grandmother." ”

Zhou Ruijing raised his eyebrows, but he felt a little funny. If it weren't for her curiosity, how could he have brought up these things?;
