In the evening, Gu Nanzhi had dinner with his father and brother, sister-in-law, and little nephew, and the family gathered around a table, talking and laughing, especially the little nephew who had just turned three, and used his innocent fairy tales to make everyone laugh.

Gu Nanzhi can't remember clearly, how long has it been since she had laughed like this, it seems that she has been laughing like this for so long, a touch of self-deprecation flashed in her eyes, isn't this kind of life good?

Why can't she think about it, she has to bow down and be small to hold other people's stinky feet, and finally end up like that.

On the way back to the room, Xia Ling and Qiu Ci were very worried, and the two of them kept chattering, "Miss, if we don't go back, is it really okay?" Will the old lady and the lady be blamed there? ”

Gu Nanzhi gathered the fox fur on her body, she raised her eyes to look at the icicles under the eaves, and a cold light was reflected in her eyes, "That's their business, what do we have to do?" I was too obedient to them before. ”

Xia Ling and Qiu Ci were stunned for a moment when they heard her words.

The room was full of oranges, Gu Nanzhi felt in a good mood when she smelled it, and after cleaning her hands, she lazily climbed on the soft couch, broke an orange by herself, and didn't even go to the orange on it, half-squinting, eating in small bites, like a napping cat.

On a whim, she also asked Xia Ling to throw two oranges into the charcoal basin, and roasted oranges also have a unique flavor.

Xia Ling and Qiu Ci looked at her and couldn't help but want to laugh.

In the afternoon, the young lady was still very resistant to the oranges sent by Lord Shoufu, and shouted in her mouth, don't think that a basket of oranges can buy her, after a while, the young lady kept circling around the basket of oranges, and said in her mouth, I will only eat one.

Later, I couldn't see it, and if they hadn't stopped her, the young lady wouldn't have even been able to eat dinner.

Dead.

Xie Yicai returned to the mansion, he untied the big daunt on his body and threw it away, and without waiting for him to ask, Huo Cen said: "The basket of tangerines left by the master is going to be sent to the palace?" ”

Xie Yi was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes, "Who said that it was going to be sent to the palace?" You are now more than my master, and you will be the master of the house, do you want me to call you a master? ”

Huo Cen's face froze, and he immediately arched his hand and said, "My subordinates don't dare." ”

Yueyang is away from Kyoto is a fast horse, a back and forth also has to be half a month, the master first let people take the waterway, after the waterway can not go, and then change to land transportation, day and night to transport back these two baskets of oranges, each of them are personally wiped clean, is not to be sent to the palace?

The injury on Xie Wei's head had already been treated, he took an orange in his hand, put it in his hand and played with it, a faint soft light spread under his eyes, and he asked casually: "That lady, do you like the atonement gift sent by the official?" ”

But there is a string in her heart, she should like it!

He was a little worried when he mentioned this, he always knew that the master was a little abnormal, but he didn't expect him to be so perverted that he let him climb on the roof of other people's wives and eavesdrop, just wondering if people like the apology gift he sent, why don't people like it, can he still force people to like it?

"Do you want to hear the truth or lie?"

Xie Wei was in the dim candlelight, his eyes narrowed, and he smiled: "Then it depends on whether you want to live a little longer or die young." ”

Huo Czen only felt a chill down his spine, he understood, and then said in a colorful voice, "......"

Gu Nanzhi couldn't have dreamed that when she hugged Gu Nanshan and cried and called for a doctor, there was a person lying on the roof.

After Huo Cen finished speaking, seeing that Xie Yi didn't react at all, he muttered in his heart, their adult dog is a real dog, but that face is still very capable of bluffing, those young ladies, ladies, little ladies or something, which one of them didn't blush like a monkey's ass when he saw him, why was this lady so afraid of him?

Xie Wei didn't raise his eyelids, and waved him to retreat.

After Huo Cen left, he took out the handkerchief that Gu Nanzhi gave him, stroked it gently, and smiled bitterly, "Is that what you think of me?" ”

The next day, early in the morning, the Pei family was in chaos.

The mothers-in-law in charge all gathered in front of Lanyue Pavilion, clamoring loudly to see Gu Nanzhi, and when they learned that she was not there, they actually made trouble in front of the old lady.

"Old lady, what should you do, Mrs. Shizi is not here, who are we going to take the right cards to pay the money? This big family can't all hang their mouths and not eat or drink! ”

"And this is about to open an ancestral hall for the stepbrother, and I have to get a charter."

“……”

A few mothers-in-law gossip, so noisy that the old lady's head is big, she has not taken care of the house for a long time, and she is used to living a quiet life, where can she still hear this.

She asked Mother Song to take the money from her private treasury before sending these mothers-in-law away, thinking that it would cost her almost a hundred taels of silver in just one day, she felt a pain in her flesh, and became more and more resentful of Gu Nanzhi.

"The old lady drank a cup of tea and went to the fire, thinking that Mrs. Shizi would come back soon." In the two days that Gu Nanzhi was away, Jiang Linyue had time to serve the old lady, pinching her shoulders and beating her back, and she was used to coaxing people.

The old lady took the tea and took a sip, threw it on the table, pointed to Mother Song and said, "You go and see if Luo Bai has come back." ”

Last night, Pei Luobai personally wrote an invitation and went out early in the morning to send it, Brother Qian was his biological son, and it was already a grievance to let him pass under his name.

It was close to noon before he returned.

"Something happened to Luo Bai, didn't it go well? How do you look dejected. Seeing that he looked weak, the old lady asked with a frown.

Jiang Linyue's heart also hung up, and she looked at him with blank eyes.

Zhao is a big-hearted person, "Isn't it just to go out and send a few invitations, what can you do?" Luo Bai must be tired. ”

Pei Luobai took a sip of tea and smiled bitterly, it would be good if this was the case, he raised his eyes and looked at the old lady and asked: "Grandmother, I went to the Dingguo Mansion, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and the Song Guo Mansion, but I didn't even enter the door, has it been like this for the past few years?" ”

"You now know that Fuchu is difficult, right?" The old lady raised her eyes slightly, in the past few years, the people have been sophisticated, and she has always been taking care of the branches, her father and brother are powerful in the court, plus she deliberately conceals it, she has never reported good news and not bad news, and she tries her best to maintain the face of the Hou Mansion, so she has the right to ignore it.

Pei Luobai muttered: "The emperor did not condemn the Hou Mansion, why did they do this?" ”

"The unresolved matters are even more frightening." The old lady said for a moment and took a deep breath, "Tomorrow is the day to open the ancestral hall, Luo Bai, you go and pick up the branches, go now." ”
