Dinner was served in the old lady's house. Gu Wanyin, who was early, urged Zhou Ruijing to go to the princess, and then went to the old lady's house together. I saw a room full of people, but only Zhou Yufei couldn't see the wind, and the rest were complete. Even Tao was brought over by the second master.

The second wife sat in her place with a gloomy face, somewhat annoyed and embarrassed. Seeing Gu Wanyin and the others coming in, the second wife stood up and blessed the princess, said hello and sat down, ignoring the second master's incessant glances and Tao's timid gaze. The second master was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

Since the second wife has this attitude, the princess naturally didn't see their small movements and Tao's, and she didn't squint with a smile.

The third wife and the third master also got up and greeted the princess. Then the princess took Gu Wanyin and Zhou Ruijing to ask the old lady for peace. The old lady didn't squint, only watched the princess speak with a smile, as if she didn't see Gu Wanyin behind her. For a while, Gu Wanyin seemed to have become invisible. Zhou Ruijing glanced at Gu Wanyin worriedly, frowned and was about to speak, but was held down by Gu Wanyin's probe.

Gu Wanyin sat down with the princess with a smile, not caring about the old lady's coldness. Zhou Ruijing saw such a scene, his chest was stuffy, but he also thought about her reminder, suppressed his emotions vividly, and also sat down.

The second master pushed Tao to come forward to greet the princess, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this is Tao, and everyone will be a family in the future." It's to let her come and give you a salute. ”

When the princess heard this, she turned her head sideways to look at Tao, and Tao hurriedly saluted, naturally she didn't dare to call the princess her sister-in-law like the second wife and the second master, and only said softly: "Concubine Tao, please say hello to the princess." "It is also polite and thoughtful, the attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and it has not lost its bearing and decency. looks, but there is no humility of a concubine. On the contrary, she is like a lady in the main room, and her bearing is clear. Obviously, it's not from ordinary people.

The princess saw it in her eyes and nodded her head as a promise. Although the second wife is not happy, it is also in her eyes, but after all, Tao is already a person in the second master's room, and she can be regarded as having a reputation, since Tao has not lost her manners, she will naturally not lose face; At that moment, he plucked a red gold flower and bird hairpin inlaid with treasure from his head and put it on Tao with his own hands. smiled: "I haven't prepared any greeting gifts, but this can be regarded as a fun, and I hope you don't dislike it." ”

"Princess Xie." Dow thanked him respectfully, and the smile on his face was even more full. Although this inlaid red gold flower and bird hairpin is not a rare object. But it's also worth a lot of money. Naturally, it can be shown that the princess also gave her face. The moment is naturally joy.

The second wife saw this scene in her eyes, but she was only angry and gritted her teeth, and her heart was depressed. After thinking about it, he raised a smile and said to the princess: "Tao is a concubine, this hairpin is so extravagant, I'm afraid it will be unblessed." ”

As soon as the second wife's words came out, it immediately attracted everyone's attention, Gu Wanyin glanced at the second wife in surprise, and shook her head secretly in her heart. If it were her. Since he let Tao enter the door, he won't care about such a trivial matter. In front of so many people, although it was said that it was a slap in the face of Tao, it was also a slap in the face of the second wife herself, right? If the second wife laughed at it, it would seem that Tao's pride and happiness were just a little family. No countertops. Now that he sings like this, he is afraid that the second master and the old lady will be unhappy.

Sure enough, the second master snorted coldly. Seeing that it is about to speak.

However, Tao grabbed the head, pulled off the hairpin on his head aggrievedly, handed it back respectfully, and said: "The second wife is right, please take it back from the princess." It's me...... Wishful thinking. By the end, the voice was already fragmented, and he was aggrieved. Whoever listens to it will also have tears of sympathy.

That's it. But the princess is sandwiched between the two sides, and she is not a human being.

Glancing lightly at the hairpin in Tao's hand, the princess only pursed her lips and smiled, squinting her eyes slightly and not caring at all: "If you want me to say, you are too careful, second brother and sister." What is this hairpin worth? It's just a thing. That indifferent and calm look obviously didn't take the hairpin to heart. The same, but it also represents. Didn't take Dow to heart.

The second wife may not have thought that she would offend the princess with a word, and she was stunned at the moment, and seemed to be a little unable to come back to her senses. However, looking at the equally embarrassed and inexplicable Tao, the second wife smiled again: "Yes, it's just a thing, it's not worth anything, but I care about it." As he spoke, he picked up the tea, took a sip, and then diverted the topic and talked about something else.

And Dow, for a while, was holding the hairpin and didn't know what to do. Accept it, this grievance will be in vain, and it can be regarded as an indirect admission that he is just a thing; If you don't accept it, you can't really give the princess no face.

Gu Wanyin picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea, but it just covered the smile on her lips. Dow can't steal chickens and rice. Tao originally wanted to use the princess to block the second wife. After all, how can you take back what you have given away? If you are an ordinary person, you will naturally cover up the past by saying a few good words. Then Dow naturally regained his face, and he also seemed to be aggrieved. But the princess's words were not salty, but she put Tao on the shelf. It's well deserved. Stealing chickens doesn't make you lose rice, that's about it.

While smiling, she stared at Tao Shi on the other hand, wanting to see if Tao had any other tricks. Unexpectedly, Tao finally gritted his teeth, put the hairpin back away, and returned to the second master again as if nothing happened. This matter naturally passed like this. Dow's grievance was in vain.

However, it can be seen that Dow is really smart. Because this is the best way to calm things down. If it really makes a fuss, the old lady will naturally not be happy, let alone help Tao. In the end, Dow will only suffer a bigger loss. It's better to just calm things down.

After a while, the outside came to ask for instructions to set the meal, and the old lady let the meal be placed in one place, because there were no outsiders, so there was no need to avoid anything, and there was no need to avoid suspicion; However, from the time she came in to the time she was going to eat, the old lady never glanced at Gu Wanyin, or said a word to Gu Wanyin. It was the princess or the third wife who accidentally mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, thinking of letting Gu Wanyin join in, but it was also diverted by the old lady.

The old lady's meaning couldn't be more obvious. Gu Wanyin was indifferent and didn't care at all. I had prepared for the worse before I came, and now I ignore it like this, it's really nothing. Horizontally and vertically, whether the old lady likes it or not, she is just doing her best and doing what she should do.

On the side, Zhou Ruijing kept watching Gu Wanyin's reaction, seeing that she was leisurely and didn't care at all, she just pretended to be embarrassed. At the moment, his heart hurt, so he reached out and quietly tugged Gu Wanyin's sleeve. The meaning couldn't be more obvious - if you don't stay happy, then it doesn't hurt to go back, Hengzhu has already come.

Gu Wanyin shook her head slightly, still smiling and listening to the princess and the others, the expression on her face did not change at all. Since you are here, you naturally have to stay for enough time. However, she also understood that Zhou Ruijing felt sorry for her and was afraid that she would be wronged, so she turned her head again and smiled at Zhou Ruijing when everyone was not paying attention.

Such a smile almost stunned Zhou Ruijing. Zhou Ruijing never thought that Gu Wanyin's mentality was so good. If you were someone else, I am afraid that you would have been wronged a long time ago. Unexpectedly, he was worried about it for a long time. Thinking like this, Zhou Ruijing couldn't help but bow his head and smile dumbly - he really married a good wife with a difference. But it's okay to be more relaxed, not to care, and to be in a happier mood.

The situation of eating was similar to the previous situation, and the old lady never paid attention to Gu Wanyin.

Gu Wanyin didn't care so much, what should be done. Just keep your eyebrows down and don't provoke the old lady, just do your duty. Because Tao was pregnant, the second master pleaded again, and the old lady didn't want to disobey the second master's face, so she had to refuse to let Tao serve them for dinner. But he didn't let Tao sit down, just dialed a few dishes and asked Tao to go to the side hall to eat.

The second wife looked at Tao and blocked her heart, and the third wife seemed to have something in her heart, so the atmosphere was not warm, but a little bleak and cold.

After eating, Gu Wanyin sat with her for a while, and when she saw that the old lady was gradually getting impatient, she got up and retired with interest. At the same time, there is also Dow who proposed to retire. Next, the old lady must have something to say, and that must not be something that everyone is qualified to listen to.

Zhou Ruijing also withdrew with him. When he got out of the courtyard, he reached out and held Gu Wanyin's hand, and said softly: "I have wronged you." If you are not happy in your heart, it is better to vent and vent, don't keep it in your heart. ”

Gu Wanyin smiled slightly, raised her head to look at Zhou Ruijing, and asked rhetorically with a bright look in her eyes: "Why should I be wronged?" I'm in a good mood right now, I'm going to go for a walk before I go back. Look, the moonlight is so nice today. The moonlight is bright, the jade plate is hanging, and the poetry is picturesque, let's not let it down. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Ruijing looked up, and sure enough, he saw a full moon hanging in the sky, and what was even more rare was that there was not even a trace of dark clouds in the sky. Isn't it a good time to see the moon?

Immediately laughed, pulled Gu Wanyin and walked forward slowly: "Then let's walk slowly, it's time to enjoy the moon." When I went back, I was almost able to restrain myself, and I could use some supper again. ”

"Well, isn't it? Today, the kitchen makes assorted rice balls, and I've been hungry for a long time. Gu Wanyin smiled, but slowly leaned her head on Zhou Ruijing's arm, the two snuggled up to each other, and walked forward, their figures stretched in the moonlight, like glue and paint, connected into one.
