July 3 is the 60th birthday of the old lady of Zhenguo. The Li family and the second young lady had prepared something that should be used early, and the family was going to celebrate their birthday.

Old Madam Ning is now "sick" and can't go out, but the fourth young master rarely came back from Guozijian and went with him.

He is also a young talent, although he is weaker than Song Qingyun and Yu Xingzhi, and has always been in the third, but because he is the third, no one mentions it, so he is a little obscure.

He is very similar to Yu Xingzhi's life experience. is also a concubine, his biological mother died early, and he has followed the Li family since he was a child, but he is much more open-minded than Yu Xingzhi, and his words and deeds are atmospheric, but he ...... Like Ning Guogong and Second Young Master Ning, he is also an unsmiling person.

The father and son stood together coldly, and Ning Shuo looked angry. He wore a light blue dress today, embroidered with green bamboo, and the shoes under him were also meandering and dotted with silver threads to highlight the bamboo forest, which looked very rich.

The feast bell went out and met everyone at the door, and the first thing he saw was him. He was the tallest of them all, and the only one who chuckled at the sight of her.

When she saw the smile, she felt that the smile was like a spring breeze, so she smiled at him as well. When the fifth girl saw it, she asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Feast Bell pointed to the little unicorn hanging on Ning Shuo's body, "Look, it's quite a match." ”

Li Shi also looked at it and said with a smile: "I specially let him wear it!" Your unicorn has brought him good luck, feast bell, and I want to thank you. ”

Feast bell was embarrassed, "Aunt always thanked me for being weak." ”

Li Shi hugged her: "But you also want to thank your cousin, he chose this hairpin on your head." He has a good eye, and the ones he picked for Xiao Wu and Yun Niang are all good-looking, so I asked him to pick one for you too, and it is really good-looking. ”

The feast bell is wearing the clothes of a hundred butterflies and dancing peach stamens today, but the hairpin on his head is a peony carved style. Her appearance is a little charming, the peach stamen is budding and waiting to be released, suppressing some of the gorgeous, but the peony reveals her dignity, which complements her charm, and the real light makeup is always appropriate.

Waiting for the carriage, the fifth girl and the feast bell in a carriage, she whispered: "When I was a child, the third brother was sent to the Autumn Mountain Academy, and my mother couldn't bear it, so I took it back several times, but my father insisted on sending it, and the third brother himself didn't want to stay at home, he liked to stay in the mountains." My mother said at the time that the third brother would have an estrangement with the family in the future, and in order to let him get more familiar with us, she always pulled him to choose things for us. ”

Over time, it becomes a habit. She sighed, "The third brother is so good now, he used to be silent, I was really worried about him." ”

Feast Bell has never seen the appearance of the third cousin in the past, but he also recognizes that the current third cousin is very good. She said, "People always experience life and death, and then they suddenly become enlightened, and they will slowly live as they want." ”

The fifth girl glanced at her, "Usually when you say this, you will be followed by your husband's words." I've heard you talk about your husband for so long, and I probably guessed that your husband must have seen through life and death, right? ”

She said excitedly: "Tell me quickly, what does your husband feel about life and death?" ”

Feast Bell smiled shyly, but shook his head and said abruptly: "My husband said that he has never seen life and death. He actually had something very important to do, but he couldn't do it, so he had to wait for death in Lingnan. Because you can't do it, you have an obsession, and you can't look down on life and death. ”

She still remembers that when her husband said this, it was the spring day of the second year of coming to Lingnan. She sat under the wall covered with flowers, holding a bowl of hot porridge in her hand, and listened to her husband say in a very regretful voice: "Now, I am just a piece of dead wood...... Yan Fu mentions sentient beings, and when he starts to think, everything is karma, and everything is a sin......"

This made her extremely sad, and she once asked her husband what he was going to do, but he just smiled and said, "Spring is over, and it is useless to think about it." ”

But he was still overthinking. The doctor said that if the husband thought less, he could live a few more years.

Thinking of this, she sighed, "Later, I didn't dare to ask my husband what he was going to do...... I should have asked. If I knew, no matter how difficult it was, I would do it for my husband. ”

This is also a small reason why she wants to find out her husband's background.

The fifth girl was relieved, "I hope you can find it." ”

Feast Bell thought, she still has to look for it secretly now, and it is even more difficult to find it.

It's really sad. On a good day, she didn't want to let herself show a sad look, thought about it, and changed the topic, "Fifth sister, you tell me about the girls of the Zhenguo family, the ladies said hello and left, and the girls said that they couldn't talk together." ”

The fifth girl nodded, "Yes, I definitely have to speak." Although it is said...... The Zhenguo Mansion is the prince's father-in-law, and the prince and the king of Jin are ...... But we still have to have fellowship, and we can't hide, lest people think we have other intentions, you know? ”

Feast bell understands. Although she had just come to Kyoto, she had also heard of the feud between the crown prince and the king of Jin. And the Ningguo Mansion is the Yue's family of the four princes.

The fifth girl whispered, "The crown princess is twenty-seven years old this year, the same age as the prince, and she is the eldest girl in the family. Under her, there are nineteen girls, but fifteen have already married, some are married in Kyoto, some are in Kyoto, but the people who marry are not noble, and when they come back today, they are also returning as aunts, and they will not have time to talk to us for a long time. ”

So there were only four girls they had to remember.

The fifth girl was a little embarrassed, "Actually, I can't remember all the girls in her family." ”

It's just too much.

The feast bell thought about what the fifth girl had just said, grasped the words "It's not expensive to marry", and also lowered her voice and asked, "Is it ...... Only the crown princess is a concubine? ”

The fifth girl nodded, "The prince of Zhenguo only has one concubine, the crown princess, but he has three concubines. He had five sons, only two of whom were concubines. But there are many grandchildren...... Anyway, he has too many heirs in the family. ”

Feast Bell gasped, "So much......"

Fifth Girl: "Yes. So sometimes the outside compare our family with his family. ”

There are few heirs in the Ningguo Mansion.

Then he looked left and right, even if he was sitting in the carriage, he was still cautious, his voice was lowered and lowered, and finally he wanted to speak, but he was still afraid of being heard, so he simply attached it to the ear of the feast bell and said: "Actually, it is not only compared with our family, but also compared with the previous family." ”

"Suijia is also a son, that adult has not taken a concubine, since the death of the housewife of Suijia, he has lived alone with his son."

When people in Kyoto talk about him, they all say that he is a gentleman who is not close to women, and Zhenguo Gong has a concubine room and a room, and more than 20 children have been born.

Anyone who says this to other girls in Kyoto can understand it. But the feast bell didn't know, she was curious: "With home? ”

The voice was just a little louder, and the fifth girl was so frightened that she hurriedly attached it to her and whispered: "Yes, the previous prince and the prince followed the family and Boying." ”

Four or five years ago, when the family was wiped out, the fifth girl was already eleven years old, but she remembered many things. She saw that the feast bell didn't know anything about it, so she said, "This thing is taboo, you must not say it." Especially in the Zhenguo Mansion. ”

She briefly talked about the case of Sui Boying's embezzlement, and then said: "Back then, Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo, and Sui Boying were rumored to be the same monarch and minister. Zhenguo Gong and Sui Boying are the same age, and they are both important ministers who assist the prince, one is the prince's concubine, and the other is the prince's father-in-law, the two are very good friends, often go out to drink together, and sometimes Sui Boying will sleep in the Zhenguo Mansion. ”

"Because they are so close, many people compare them, and some of them are more than their children."

Feast Bell first lamented that the people in Kyoto were bored, and then sighed, "It's a pity that such a big official is actually corrupt." ”

After a pause, he said: "Fortunately, he has few heirs, otherwise it would be like the Zhenguo Mansion, if he is convicted, he really wants to raid the family and destroy the clan, then it should be ......"

How many people should be damned.

The fifth girl nodded, "Who said it wasn't." ”

But the two soon felt that the topic was heavy again, and immediately returned to lightheartedness, such as the temperament of the sixteen, seventeen, eight, ninety, and four girls who remained in the Zhenguo Mansion and did not marry, and whether they got along well.

After saying this for half an hour, the carriage slowly arrived in front of the Zhenguo Mansion.

The feast bell got out of the carriage and saw the two stone lions in front of the door were mighty and extraordinary, and the traffic was constantly busy, and he sighed: "The prosperous home written in the book should be like this." ”
