"Who arranged it?"

Xin Nian was also puzzled, and turned around and asked Xinghua, "Why did you invite another troupe in the house?"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Gu Yunxiang walk in from outside the door, nodded and said, "Auntie is right, it is the Chinese New Year troupe, saying that grandma is invited back again, let Ming'er Lantern Festival sing for a long time, after dinner, I have to listen to the two-fold drama again, and then accompany the ancestor and the concubine to the garden to enjoy the lanterns."

"The old ancestor doesn't seem to like listening to this troupe very much, right?"

Xin Nian raised her eyebrows, and she had a bad premonition in her heart: It's not that she is overly cautious, now that Gu Changting is not at home, she can't be fooled by Liao Jiaru.

"The ancestor didn't say he liked it very much, nor did he say he didn't like it. Isn't it all grandma who is in charge of all these things at home?"

Gu Yunxiang smiled bitterly, and Xin Nian realized that her face was not very good, because she was puzzled, "What's wrong with you? But not feeling well? 「

"Nope."

Gu Yunxiang shook his head, thought about it and pulled Xin Nian aside again, lowered his head and whispered, "The concubine just sent someone...... I came to my mother and said...... Said you want to ...... me Allow...... Permission to ......"

"The concubine wants to kiss you?"

The first thought in Xin Nian's mind was: The weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he didn't have a good heart.

"Auntie." Gu Yunxiang looked up at her, and there were already tears in the corners of his eyes: "The concubine wants to marry me off, isn't that just a matter of words?" Where did you come from?"

Xin Nian nodded, and after a while asked, "Whose house is it?"

"I overheard it under the porch, and I didn't hear it clearly, as if it was to say...... Young Master Sun in the third room of the Chengguo Mansion ......"

"Young Master Sun of the third room of the Chengguo Mansion?" Xin Nian frowned: "This ...... I've never heard of it at all, but what kind of person is it? Is character reliable? What about the deeds?"

"I'm the same as my aunt, who doesn't go out of the door, how can I know?" Gu Yunxiang's tears finally fell, and he choked up, "It's just ...... Since the concubine mentioned it, there is probably no room for me and my mother to refuse this family business, I ...... I really can't bear my aunt, thanks to you, my mother and I have only lived a good life for a few days......

"Third sister, don't worry." Xin Nian interrupted her with a smile: "The palace and the Guogong Mansion are going to get married, where can they be scribbled? Didn't have a year and a half to make things happen? What's more, although you are a concubine, the prince is the head of the family in the end, and there is no reason to marry you off without asking him. When the prince comes back, I asked him to inquire about the details of this young master Sun, Cheng Guogong is also a veteran of the two dynasties, and it is really a good one, this is a wishful marriage."

Gu Yunxiang shook his head and said abruptly, "The concubine hates our mother and daughter to the bone, how can she give me a wishful marriage? The eldest sister is her biological daughter, and now the two places are still separated. How much more about me?"

"Sister, didn't you move away later? Besides, even if the concubine doesn't want to see you, there is no reason to push you into the fire pit, she always has to think about the prince, right?"

Gu Yunxiang was still pessimistic, shook his head and said, "Brother Wang hasn't even said a few words to me, how can he care about my affairs? If he had cared for me a little, we wouldn't have been in that situation."

"I didn't care before, but now I don't have me?" Xin Nian took Gu Yunxiang's hand: "Don't worry, Gu Changting is not a cold-blooded person, if that third-room Sun Young Master is not good-looking, even if he doesn't have much brother-sister affection for you, he will never allow you to jump into the fire pit." Don't be sad, you and Aunt Qin just need to be silent now, you can deal with whatever the concubine says, everything will wait for the prince to come back, and he will make the decision for you."

"Okay." Gu Yunxiang looked at Xin Nian eagerly, and choked up, "My life...... It's all up to your aunt, don't forget to tell Brother Wang."

"Don't worry. We've been together for so long, and you don't know I'm a nosy, nosy person?"

Xin Nian hugged Gu Yunxiang and comforted her for a while, but finally let her stop her tears and panic, but this matter was not resolved for a day, and she couldn't be completely relieved when she thought about it, but she had no choice but to wait for Gu Changting to come back.

The next day was the Lantern Festival, and early in the morning, Xin Nian freshened up, and then took Gu Yunxiang and Liuzai Yaya to Shouning Palace to ask for peace.

Although Gu Changting was not in the house because of business, he watched

In the hall, the children and relatives of the whole family surrounded the beads, talking and laughing, which was really a rich and reunited atmosphere, and the old lady's mood was still very happy.

After a few women talked for a while, a daughter-in-law from the kitchen came to deliver rice balls, and Concubine Liao smiled: "It just so happens that everyone didn't have breakfast, so they ate a bowl of rice balls here from the ancestors, which is just hot to keep out the cold, which is also the meaning of reunion."

Xin Nian held the bowl and sent the rice balls one by one, and heard Liao's smile again: "This can only be a cushion, the serious reunion dinner has to wait for the evening to eat, and then listen to the two-fold play after eating, and then you can go to the garden to watch the lights."

"Yes, yes, it just so happens that the sky is beautiful, it's rare to have such a cloudless sunny day today, and the moon should come out after seeing the lights, and we can still enjoy the moon."

Aunt Feng hurriedly agreed, and while taking the rice balls from Xin Nian's hand, she saw her smile and said, "Sister Feng is a good proposal, but the weather is cold at this time, and after watching the lights in the garden, and admiring the moon, wouldn't they all be frozen?" Let's just leave it, the ancestor and the concubine can't stand it."

Aunt Feng hurriedly said, "There are many pavilions and pavilions in the garden, just find a place to go in and burn the charcoal pot?" Or is my sister afraid that we will have to eat a late-night snack again and make the kitchen tired?"

Xin Nian smiled and smacked her, "You just think I'm so stingy? Besides, what do I feel sorry for? There are so many people in the kitchen, and after the Lantern Festival, they can't even supply supper snacks, and they still have the face to continue to dry? I'm afraid that you will do bad things with good intentions, don't provoke the interest of the ancestors and concubines, it's really delayed outside for a long time, in case you catch a cold, it's not fun. Since you are so thoughtful, what do I have to say? Let's see if the ancestors and the concubine are willing to fulfill you."

Everyone laughed, and Concubine Liao shook her head and said, "I think Aunt Xin is right, when the moon is full, if you want to enjoy the moon, you don't have to have the Lantern Festival, the cold winter wax moon, and you don't go out to be cold."

Liao smiled, "Even so, in the end, other full moon times are not as interesting as the Lantern Festival."

Xin Nian said, "Isn't there another Mid-Autumn Festival? The Mid-Autumn Festival is the most suitable time to enjoy the moon, and if it is neither hot nor cold, the osmanthus flowers in the garden are blooming just right."

A group of people were lively and laughed and ate tangyuan and lantern festivals, and they all praised the excellent taste. After eating a bowl, the old lady asked, "The taste of this dumpling with shepherd's cabbage stuffing is chic, so we should make more."

Xin Nian hurriedly said, "Yes. I only said that Sanniang was messing around, how could there be dumplings with shepherd's cabbage and meat filling, isn't that a dumpling? She said that this is the way to eat in Lingnan, and she didn't think that it would satisfy the appetite of her ancestors."
