At the end of April, the national funeral ended, and the Beijing City, which had been calm and depressed for a long time, instantly became prosperous and lively, and people who had been depressed for three months could no longer control their excitement of stepping out of their homes.

And the first guest to come to the door after the national funeral in the General's Mansion was Lei Yingying, who asked her entourage to carry two baskets of early pears and found Lin Shuran in a hurry.

"Sister Ran, I can go out to breathe, you don't know how I spent the past three months in the house!" As soon as she saw Lei Yingying, she couldn't help but complain to Lin Shuran, but soon she turned her face and smiled, pointed to the two baskets of early pears behind her and said, "This is a special early pear from Yunzhou, I know that you like to eat pears, so I specially asked someone to send it from Yunzhou!" ”

Lin Shuran asked her to sit down and rest quickly, and asked the maid to serve sweet fruit herbal tea, a bowl of cold and cold stomach, and the whole person was much more refreshed.

"You gave the pear this morning just right, I just have one more fruit in this fruit herbal tea!" After Lin Shuran finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at the early pears brought by Lei Yingying, in fact, it was the original Lin Shuran who really liked to eat pears, and now the fruit she likes to eat is peaches.

Lei Yingying drank a bowl of fruit herbal tea, and unceremoniously asked for another bowl, she had also drunk all kinds of cold drinks with ice in the summer before, but none of them could compare to the bowl of fruit herbal tea she was drinking now, which could not only relieve the heat but also be unexpectedly delicious, and the whole body was comfortable in the stomach, and there was no discomfort stimulated by the cold air.

Seeing that Lei Yingying liked this fruit herbal tea so much, Lin Shuran said that he would write the recipe for making tea to her, Lei Yingying nodded again and again, saying that even if she didn't plan to give it, she would have to be cheeky and open her mouth to ask for it.

As soon as the two friends met, they seemed to have endless topics to talk about, and as they talked, Lei Yingying looked at Lin Shuran and asked tentatively: "I heard that a few days ago, Lord Gu came to your house for the Guozi Festival?" ”

Lin Shuran nodded, and when he saw Lei Yingying's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he said: "Yes, he came to tell me that he wanted my brother Sifan to go to study in Guozijian, why did he suddenly ask Uncle Gu, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Just for this one thing?" Lei Yingying seemed to be puzzled, and then muttered to herself, "I thought he was for-" but I didn't know what came to mind, Lei Yingying suddenly stopped talking.

At this time, Lin Shuran was also puzzled and curious, looked at her and asked, "What do you think it is for?" ”

Lei Yingying sighed lightly, anyway, even if she didn't tell Lin Shuran today, Lin Shuran would know soon, so she said: "You haven't walked outside during this time, so there are some things that you may not have heard in the mansion, and besides, it is a national funeral, this matter is not worth saying about anything good." ”

The more Lei Yingying said this, the more Lin Shuran's curiosity was aroused, and she couldn't help asking, "Yingying, what happened?" ”

"Gu Xiruo, the daughter of Lord Gu, went to King Ling's Mansion some time ago, and heard that something happened in the palace, and then King Ling's Mansion gave the Gu family a dowry, saying that the prince of King Ling wanted to marry Gu Xiruo as a side concubine, and the good day was set on the sixth day of the fifth month. For this marriage, Lord Gu and his wife don't seem to want to agree, but Gu Xiruo is bent on getting married, I thought that Lord Gu wanted you to persuade Gu Xiruo, after all, you were before-" Lei Yingying said with a wry smile.

Gu Jingcheng has been dead for more than three years, and Lin Shuran is now married, Lei Yingying thinks about talking about the Gu family now, Lin Shuran may be able to accept it slowly, since he has chosen to start a new life, he should learn to face the past, in Lei Yingying's mind, the current Lin Shuran has become stronger.

Hearing the news that Lei Yingying said, Lin Shuran was also very surprised, although she knew that Gu Xiruo seemed to have a deep misunderstanding of herself since Gu Jingcheng died, and she blamed Gu Jingcheng's death on herself, but she could understand Gu Xiruo's grief for losing her relatives, so she didn't really blame her in her heart.

In my memory, Gu Xiruo has always been Gu Jingcheng's most beloved sister, Gu Xiruo was pampered by the whole family at that time, kind and simple, but with Gu Jingcheng's death, many things and many people have changed with the passage of time.

Lei Yingying saw that Lin Shuran didn't talk, and the expression on her face was also a little intriguing, it seemed that the Gu family could still influence her to some extent, so she said with some comforting tone: "This matter is a foregone conclusion, even if the Gu family doesn't want to agree, it's not okay, I heard that Gu Xiruo is already the son of King Ling." ”

Lin Shuran's face showed surprise again, Gu Chang and his wife have always been polite and courteous, and they value their innocence and reputation the most, if Gu Xiruo lost her virginity before marriage, this would definitely be a big blow to them, but the last time Gu Chang came to see him, he didn't reveal anything about Gu Xiruo, maybe he felt that he didn't have the face to say it to the outside world.

"Lu is chosen, if she insists on entering the Ling Palace, no one can persuade her!" Lin Shuran also sighed lightly, the current Gu Xiruo is no longer the innocent and simple little girl she was three years ago, what appears most in her eyes is resentment and unwillingness, and she is bent on flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix.

Lei Yingying also nodded and said: "You're right, it's just that King Ling's Mansion is not a good place to go now, Concubine Su has passed away, and the queen has always regarded King Ling's Mansion as a thorn in the flesh, you don't know, when you were in the palace, the queen and Princess Ling Wang had a big fight, and the girl of the Gu family entered King Ling's Mansion, so she had to suffer a lot of grievances." ”

Lin Shuran didn't know these things that Lei Yingying said, she had always been not very concerned about the things in the back house, and Lei Yingying knew much more about these things than her.

Lin Shuran didn't say much about Gu Xiruo's affairs, from her standpoint, the Gu family and now she are strangers, but in the eyes of everyone, she is a woman who is infatuated with Gu Jingcheng, and the relationship with the Gu family is naturally not ordinary.

While the two were talking, Xu An asked people to also carry two baskets of early pears from Yunzhou to see Lin Shuran, saying that Xu Junze asked people to send them, and one of his lieutenants was from Yunzhou, and when he returned home, he brought some early pears to him.

Lei Yingying saw these two baskets of early pears, and deliberately joked to Lin Shuran: "I don't know if this General Xu really has a deputy general of Yunzhou, this early pear is not a real specialty of Yunzhou, doesn't he know that you like to eat pears the most?" ”

Lin Shuran glanced at her with a smile, and also looked at the two baskets of early pears sent by Xu Junze in a slight daze, Xu Junze shouldn't know that Lin Shuran liked to eat pears before, right?!
