"My aunt got up early, and she came to the tent to drink tea."

Liao, Xin Nian and the others took the umbrella and walked into the tent, only to see Concubine Liao smile and said: "I was sick for a while before, and I didn't have the heart to come to the tent to enjoy the rain. In such weather, why bother to come here with mud and water."

"My aunt treats us very well, but the etiquette can't be wasted, just two days of greetings, we can't be lazy anymore, not to mention just rain, lightning and thunder, we have to come over."

The Liao family sat down next to Concubine Liao, but Xin Nian and the others could only stand, the tent was not big enough, and there were not so many chairs.

As if in response to her words, he heard a burst of thunder rolling in the sky, and Liao hurriedly said, "Hey! I'm quick to talk, what kind of thunder? Isn't that really thundering? It's going to rain heavily for a while, and I can't go back to the house, so it's not good to catch a cold, auntie, let's go back."

Xin Nian's heart suddenly lifted, but he saw Concubine Liao waving her hand and smiled, "What are you afraid of, the thunder can't hit our tent again." Come, try this cannolo, I think it's pretty good from the kitchen."

"Is that Du Sanniang's craft again?"

Liao picked up a cream roll and looked at Xin Nian with a smile, but saw Concubine Liao nodding and laughing, "But what." I heard that she got up in less than four watches, and she sent it to me personally, and it was still raining heavily at that time, so it was hard for her to be so considerate."

Xin Nian's hand couldn't help but shake it, and he didn't say anything. Here, when Concubine Liao saw that she didn't react, she also felt depressed, and said lightly: "Okay, you guys go, I haven't seen Jiaru for a few days, leave her to talk to me for a while."

"Yes."

Xin Nian and the three of them saluted together and were about to leave, but they suddenly heard Liao's smile and said, "It's okay for Aunt Qiu to go back, it's better to stay and help me pick two brocades, which my aunt promised me last time." Don't worry, I won't let you pick in vain, and if you go back to whatever horse you like, you will also take it back to make a new coat."

Aunt Qiu responded happily, and then the thunder rolled over the sky one after another. Xin Nian and Aunt Gu came out of the tent, and it wasn't until they got out of the courtyard that Aunt Gu said angrily, "What about the concubine, just such a force? You are in charge of the treasury and it is not the prince's preference, it's not that they are pouring too much into their mother's house, the prince wants to give you the treasury, and it is difficult for the tiger's mouth to seize this right, and now he hates you so much that his teeth are itching, such a weather, we sincerely come to ask for peace, there is still thunder rolling in the sky, she will drive us out like this, so that the people can see, what do you mean?"

After talking for a long time, there was no sound around her, and Aunt Gu turned her head: "Hey! Sister, what do you want? Have you heard me complaining for a long time?"

Xin Nian didn't hear Aunt Gu's words, her mind was full of the scene she saw just now before leaving: at that moment, Concubine Liao was talking with Liao Jiaru in her arms; Behind them, Aunt Autumn was beaming, probably thinking about the brocade; The servants hung their heads because of the oppressive atmosphere; Aunt Gu had turned around and was almost out of the tent, and she was about to turn around, her eyes still on the iron rod standing upright in the middle of the table.

It was at this moment that she saw a few rays of lightning fleeting from the iron, and then there was a rolling thunder overhead, but the irons did not move.

Why? Thunder and lightning struck the iron, but why was the table and the people in front of it all right? Why was that person killed directly by lightning that time in Qingliang Pavilion? Is the time not yet coming, the retribution yet to come? But even so, there should always be some traces on the table, why did it disappear silently.

"Sister...... My sister ......"

"Oh?"

Xin Nian came back to her senses and smiled at Aunt Gu, "It's nothing, I'm thinking about something, what did my sister say just now?"

Aunt Gu was helpless, so she had to repeat the previous words again, and when she saw Xin Nian slanting at her after speaking, she couldn't help but quickly look herself up and down, and found that there was nothing wrong, so she wondered, "Why does my sister look at me like this?"

Xin Nian smiled, "It's nothing. I just feel that my sister just said, 'Sincerely go to ask for peace, it seems a little insincere."

Aunt Gu was speechless, as Xin Nian said, what sincerity can they have towards Concubine Liao? Stomping his feet in embarrassment:

"Look at you, I'm just holding grievances for us, and you and I pick out this word."

Xin Nian laughed more and more happily, and when she saw that Aunt Gu didn't stomp her feet, she put her arms around her shoulders and comforted, "Okay, but it's all for show, it's normal that the concubine doesn't want to see us, are we very willing to see her?" Since we hate each other, it would be better for her to kick us out sooner. Do you want to be like Aunt Qiu, who stands behind her grandmother like a pug because of a brocade?"

"Phew!" Aunt Gu couldn't help but take a sip: "I used to be really blinded by lard, how could I be courteous and flattering in front of them. Aunt Qiu is also a fool, with the example of me and Aunt Feng, I can't see that grandma is a jackal who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, and she still serves loyally."

"Everyone has his own ambitions, so there is no need to force them." Xin Nian looked at the sky: "I think this rain is going to fall, why don't you go back directly, Brother Chen'er comes back from school, with you, Zhang Luo, who is a mother, hot soup and hot water can be prepared."

"But so." Aunt Gu hurriedly said: "Thanks to you for reminding me, then I will go back, and you should hurry back to the room, now that most of the power in the house is in your hands, I don't know how to be busy."

The two then went their separate ways.

When Xin Nian returned to the courtyard, she saw Gu Yunxiang under the corridor, and asked her while climbing the stairs, "It's raining today, I'll stop your girls' classes here, you don't have a good rest in the house, why did you come here in the rain?"

Gu Yunxiang only smiled and said that he had nothing to do, so he came over to take a look. Then the two entered the house and talked for a while, Xin Nianfang saw through Nizi's intention: "I said, it turns out that today is Enke's exam, so let's say, several of the people in our house have gone to the Gongyuan?"

"No, it's like this." Gu Yunxiang turned his head to look at the rain outside the window: "Brother Wang said that nearly half of the sheds in the Gongyuan are not very good, and I don't know if they can get a good seat."

"It doesn't matter if someone else has a good seat or not, the most important thing is that Jiang Gongzi must have a good seat, right?"

Gu Yunxiang was distracted, nodded subconsciously when he heard the words, and then came back to his senses, his face couldn't help but turn red, he got up to beat Xin Nian, and shouted, "Auntie bullied me again."

"How dare I bully the third girl, don't say that Aunt Qin doesn't spare me, just let Jiang Gongzi know that he will scold me as a tigress behind his back."
