Xu was afraid that Gu Mei, who had finally let go, would regret it again, and the Zhai family seemed to be unable to wait, and after returning from Qinglong Temple, he went out early and returned late for several days.

After hearing this, Gu Mei praised in her heart, hoping that the Zhai family could grow up and quickly decide on the candidate.

There is also a faint rumor in the mansion that Mrs. Hou wants to take a noble concubine for the prince.

After a few more days, Gu Mei obviously felt that there were many more guests coming in and out of the house than in the past.

There are not only noble daughters, but also beautiful concubines.

Those beautiful concubines would often be sent outside the main courtyard of Xie Wen and Gu Mei, not far away.

I guess I guess how I met Xie Wen by chance.

Seeing this, the maid beside her was a little unhappy, but after Gu Mei knew about it, she only smiled lightly.

On this day, Gu Mei had just gotten up, and Zhai's side sent someone to deliver a message, asking her to clean up and go out with Zhai's to meet guests.

It seems that the Zhai family already has a favorite candidate on her side, and this is for her to meet the candidate who is about to enter the door.

Yingyue, the maid waiting beside her, has followed Gu Mei since she was a child, and she has also heard rumors in the house these days.

She asked with some concern: "Young lady, do you really agree to take a concubine for the prince?" ”

The girl is beautiful and smart, her eyes are moving, and she is full of tenderness, and the pearl of Shangjing back then has been bullied by the old pious woman of the Zhai family for so many years.

Gu Mei rubbed Yingyue's cheeks and told her to help her make up.

Unfortunately, when I went out, the sky was not beautiful, and the rain was floating.

In this way, it can't stop Zhai's ambition to go out, so Gu Mei naturally accompanies him.

As expected, the Zhai family took Gu Mei out of the house, just to see the candidates for the concubines included in the mansion.

At this spring banquet held by Mrs. Hubu Shilang, there were warblers and swallows everywhere.

Zhai Shi looked at the woman who looked a little shy, and said softly, "I came to see your cousin's wife." She's a little older than you, you can just call her sister. ”

When the young woman heard this, she quickly got up and shouted at Gu Meifu, "Hello, sister." ”

Gu Mei smiled. Xie Wen is a cousin, she is Xie Wen's wife, if it is according to common etiquette, how can she be called her sister-in-law.

Where did this sister come from?

Naturally, it started with three wives and four concubines.

She received the woman's salute and took off a bracelet and put it on the other's wrist.

Seeing that Gu Mei did not have any abnormalities, Zhai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When the bride enters, who knows that there will be no such thing as "seeing the newlyweds laughing, but hearing the old people crying"?

Zhai Shi looked at the candidate in front of him, as well as Gu Mei with a smile on his face, and his heart became proud.

Gu Mei didn't like these banquets and gatherings before, and after figuring out the candidate that Zhai had a fancy for, she excused herself to change her clothes and went out of the flower hall.

The spring day was rainy, and the garden of the Shilang Mansion was also shrouded in a curtain of rain, and the cobblestone path in the courtyard was wet.

Gu Mei was wearing soft-soled embroidered shoes today, she gently lifted the hem of her skirt, held an oil-paper umbrella, and walked on the path with Yingyue.

She breathed in the fresh air and exhaled the depression in her chest.

She's alive.

Will live better in the future.

The rain curtain was hazy, Gu Mei was holding an oil-paper umbrella again, he couldn't see the road in front of him clearly, and when he turned towards the rockery, the soles of his feet on the cobblestones slipped, and the whole person leaned forward and slammed into a person.

"Young lady......" Yingyue reached out behind her and wanted to hold her, but she still held an umbrella in her hand, and she couldn't pull it at all.

I could only watch Gu Mei crash into the chest of the arrival.

When the soles of Gu Mei's feet slipped, the umbrella in her hand also took off, and in the confusion, in order to stabilize her figure, she grabbed something, she held it firmly, and still hit the tip of her nose sore.

The person who was hit was quick and fast-eyed, and held her waist to prevent her from falling to the ground.

Gu Mei finally stood firm, and before she could see the person clearly, the touch of holding half of her waist was too familiar.

She froze.
