Everyone hurriedly turned around, only to see Gu Changting standing behind him with a smile, and asked the woman-in-law, "What's going on?" and all the people in the house heard a commotion. ”

The mother-in-law told the matter again, Gu Changting nodded and said: "Aunt Xin's proposal is good, then replace it with an iron pole, there is no one in the warehouse, so I will go and beat a few now, this wooden pole is too dangerous." ”

Liao hurriedly said: "There are many places where iron rods are used in the house every year, why don't you have them?" Although open the treasury to take it. ”

Aunt Gu looked at Gu Changting and laughed quietly: "Lord Wang, the concubine has no knowledge, let you say, there are really beasts that eat iron?" That...... Isn't it an iron belly? Otherwise, how can you restrain your movements? ”

Gu Changting smiled: "How can there be an iron belly?" The black and white beasts eat bamboo, but some villagers often see them coming down the mountain and running to the kitchen to eat iron pots, and the name of the iron beast comes from this. ”

Xin Nian smiled: "This is really the size of the world, there are no surprises. It's a pity that Shuzhong is thousands of miles away, so we don't have a chance, otherwise we have to see what this iron-eating beast looks like. ”

"The appearance is excellent, because it is born like a bear, and feeds on bamboo, so it is called a bamboo bear, I am afraid that you will see it, and you can't even move your steps, especially its cubs, which are very smart and cute. I remember that a few years ago, Shuzhong paid tribute to a pair of bamboo bears......"

A few people stood in the courtyard and chatted for a while, until another thunder sounded, Xin Nianfang said: "Seeing that it is going to rain, the prince should go in, and we will hurry back to each courtyard, don't be doused by the rain." ”

"Exactly, you go."

Gu Changting nodded, and Liao and the others said goodbye and left.

When she walked to the fork in the road, Aunt Gu said to Xin Nian: "I won't go to your place to talk, tomorrow the clan school will start, and I have to go back to see if Brother Chen'er has cleaned up." ”

"Okay." Xin Nian nodded, thought about it and said: "Sister, don't just care about forcing Brother Chen to study, three hundred and sixty lines will be the champion, not to mention that he is the young master of the palace, are you afraid that there will be no way out in the future?" ”

Aunt Gu smiled bitterly: "I don't know that he is not that material?" There can be a few, all of them are inferior, only reading is high. The prince values it, how can I not urge him to work hard. ”

"There are few people who are both civil and military, and the prince values the children of the clan to study, and also values their martial arts. Brother Chen is very good in this regard, and he can be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business, and his sister let him go to school, and he may not be worse than other children in the future. ”

Aunt Gu sighed: "It's really not good, it's the only way to go." ”

The two parted ways, Xin Nian looked at the sky, and the rain was afraid that it would take a while to come down, so he slowed down and browsed the path in spring. Suddenly, she saw a few family members in the distance carrying a bundle of iron poles to Concubine Liao's courtyard, she raised her eyebrows slightly, stood in place and watched these people go, and then turned around and went back to Qingliang Courtyard.

*****************

"Listen, auntie, the sound of this rain is getting closer and closer, and it seems that it will be the next whole night."

As soon as Lychee's words fell, I heard another rumbling thunder outside. Xin Nian stood up and said softly: "I'm going to see the children, I haven't encountered such a big thunder in the past two years, I don't know if they sleep peacefully." ”

Lychee hurriedly took an umbrella, and Xin Nian smiled: "Just walk along the verandah, you don't need an umbrella." ”

"The wind is strong, the rain is drifting in, and the cloister floor is wet."

Lychee said, in the end, he opened the umbrella and blocked Xin Nian's side, the master and servant came to the wing room along the verandah, and stood outside Gu Yufeng's door first, and heard a thin voice inside, Xin Nian pushed open the door and walked in, while asking: "Yuzhu, Brother Feng is afraid of thunder?" ”

"Why is Siniang here?"

Gu Yufeng's voice sounded, and soon Yuzhu lit a candle, got up and said, "Aunt Xin, why are you here?" ”

"Tonight's lightning and thunder, I'll come and see the children, what? Brother Feng is afraid of thunder, so he can't sleep? ”

"No, I'm not afraid of thunder and lightning." Gu Yufeng smiled slightly: "It's just that I just finished reading, and after the lights went out, I talked to Sister Yuzhu for a while, and I was going to sleep." ”

"I see." Xin Nian smiled and touched his head: "Go to bed early, Ming'er will enter the clan school in the morning." ”

"Yes, I know, Siniang should go to bed early, don't worry about me."

Xin Nian nodded, turned around and went out. Here Yuzhu whispered: "The third young master is still smart, and he chose Qingliang Courtyard to live, Aunt Xin is really good, even if the aunt is alive, that's all." ”

Gu Yufeng nodded: "Father said earlier that Siniang is a chivalrous woman, and she has a lot of ideas and ancient ways, and now it seems that Siniang is even better than he said." ”

Yuzhu smiled: "Who said it wasn't." Chivalrous women are not a good word in the nobles of the capital, I still think that Aunt Xin is powerful when she should be powerful, but when she should be gentle, she is more considerate and delicate than anyone else, she is really a woman like water, no wonder the prince likes her. ”

Gu Yufeng couldn't continue with this, so he coughed and got into the quilt: "Okay, go to sleep, don't forget to cover the quilt at night, it's raining, it's cold." ”

Yuzhu got up with a smile: "I know, the slave maid still needs the young master to care, and the more she lives, the more she goes back." ”

After speaking, he came to the door, listened for a while, and heard the footsteps in clogs outside the door, from far to near, and then gradually went away, and then knew that it was Xin Nian who had finished watching Liuzai and Yaya, and this was the time to go back to the room. So Fang came to the bedside and rested in his clothes.

"The young master and the girls are sleeping peacefully, and the aunt can always sleep with confidence."

Lychee put away her umbrella, heard a huge thunder rolling outside, and couldn't help but shrink her shoulders and said, "What a loud thunder, it scared me." ”

While speaking, she turned around, only to see Xin Nian still standing by the door, she was about to speak, when she suddenly saw a blue electric spark somewhere in the courtyard, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark night, and couldn't help but be startled, and said continuously: "Auntie, look, what is that?" ”

"It's nothing, probably because of the thunder."

Xin Nian turned around, her face was calm, she had just seen a thunderbolt fall, which happened to fall in the big water tank in the courtyard, and it exploded the water tank, causing a crackling water-blue electric fire.

"On such a rainy night, I'm afraid that little ghost won't come, right? The prince is sitting in the concubine's courtyard tonight. ”

The blue electric fire quickly faded away. Lychee didn't take it to heart, helped Xin Nian take off her coat, and muttered in a low voice.

Xin Nian smiled: "Who said it wasn't?" The prince wants to see for a long time, and I see that his wish is about to fail. ”

Lychee also smiled: "If you want me to say, the prince wants to be knowledgeable, it is better to come to us, I have never seen the blue spark just now, who knows if it is haunted?" ”

"Good and decent, what the hell? And I'm not afraid of being haunted, and I haven't done anything wrong. ”

Lizhi's face darkened, and she said softly: "Yes, my aunt is not afraid." I see that the concubine is about to be scared to death, her eye sockets are blue, it can be seen that she hasn't slept well for a few nights, do you know if she has done too much bad things? ”
