Gu Shuo looked at his sister, saw the dirt on her clothes, and knew in his heart what she had done, hiding the displeasure between his eyebrows, and said lightly: "Send my cousin back." ”

Gu Shumani glanced at Rong Wen, and then stepped forward and grabbed Gu Shuo's hand: "Third brother, I have something to do with you, let my cousin go back by herself, it's daylight, and it's not raining or snowing." ”

What to send.

Gu Shuo warned Gu Shuman with his eyes, but he didn't want Rong Wen to speak first: "Third cousin, let's get busy, I just happened to be shopping around." ”

Gu Shuman, who maintained the dignity of a noble girl of the family, smiled lightly at Rong Wen, pulled her brother and was about to leave, Gu Shuo turned his head sideways and said to Rong Wen: "After the Shangyuan Festival, I will take my cousin to practice riding and archery outside the city." ”

Rong Wen didn't answer.

Gu Shuo, who had walked away, pulled away Gu Shuman's wrist, and his voice was reprimanding: "Shuman, what's the matter with you, your aunt's whereabouts are unknown now, you have a better attitude towards your cousin." ”

Gu Shuman didn't care: "My brother protects her like this? You didn't see that you were diligent and wanted to take others to learn to ride and shoot, and they didn't pay attention to you. ”

Gu Shuo stiffened his face: "If it weren't for the right talent and your tone was not concealed at all, how could my cousin ignore it." Gu Shuman saw that her brother was really angry, and his arrogance weakened, so he didn't care whether he was dignified or not, and snorted lightly: "I saw that my grandmother treated her so well, and I was angry in my heart, and I couldn't go to my grandmother to say it, wouldn't it be okay to say two heavy words to her?" ”

and did not drive her out of the Hou Mansion.

After she finished speaking, she grabbed her brother's arm again: "I can see it, my brother likes her, but on Chinese New Year's Eve, can't my brother see it, my grandmother's heart has long been biased." ”

Gu Shuo is a military general, although he is in a family, his mind will not be so simple, but he has a clear temperament, and he is not as calculating as Gu Shuman, so he only warned his sister: "In the future, if I see you with such an attitude towards my cousin again, I will definitely let my father punish you." ”

Gu Shuman stopped talking and hit her brother.

——

On the eve of the Shangyuan Festival, Rong Wen sat in front of her bookcase after taking a bath, the pen in her hand was not working, her mouth was not idle, and she didn't know what she was talking about, Ye Yi added her a cup of hot tea and asked, "What is the girl muttering alone?" ”

Rong Wen raised his eyes a little coquettishly, and said casually: "Scolding." ”

Ye Yi: ......

"Who offended the girl, this is."

Rong Wen no longer writes at this moment, but paints, and replied to Ye Yi casually: "Scold the person who picked up my codex, if that person picks it up, open it and see that it is a woman's codex, I will stop reading it, I will pray for him when I go to the temple to offer incense, if that person knows that it is a woman's codex and still reads it, I will curse him for not being able to get a daughter-in-law." ”

Ye Yi was laughed at by her young lady's serious appearance: "Look at the girl's appearance of such a precious codex, I'm afraid that my husband in the future won't give me a look." ”

Rong Wen thought for a while: "Husband-I can still see." ”

Ye Yi teased her: "The slave maid will ask the gods and Buddhas to let the girl's future husband pick it up." ”

While he was laughing here, Hua Yi stepped forward with an ancient sandalwood box in his hand and said: "Girl, someone from the Third Master's Courtyard sent it, saying that Miss Six has bothered the girl these days, and she is a thank you gift to the girl." ”

These days, Gu Shufan often comes, Rong Wen has taken special care of Gu Shufan since she knew that she lost her mother at a young age, although Wan'er said that Gu Shufan often likes to play tricks on people, it is very good to her.

Rong Wen opened the box, and there was a white jade bottle inside, the jade quality was excellent, only Rong Wen was a little puzzled, how could there be only one jade bottle to give away, and I don't know why.

As soon as the flowers were put away, there were footsteps in the courtyard again, Rong Wen looked out through the window, and only heard a gentle man's voice coming: "The cousin girl is here." ”

Rong Wen could hear that the person who spoke was Jing Si, the attendant beside her second cousin, she frowned slightly, and motioned for Ye Yi to go out and take a look.

After a while, Ye Yi returned to the house, but he didn't hold any box in his hand, Ye Yi smiled with a smile: "Girl, the second son said that there will be a banquet in the palace of the Shangyuan Festival, so let you go with him." ”

Temperature: ......

"I—with him?"

Ye Yi: "Jing Si said, it's the old lady's meaning, saying that the girl is in the house these days, it's weird and boring, let the second son take you to the palace for a walk." ”

——

When the New Year was approaching, the eldest lady cut several clothes for Rong Wen now fit well, Ye Yi picked out a lotus lotus-colored embroidered lotus skirt for her, saying that it was dignified and atmospheric, and Rong Wen did not want to wear it, so she chose a more plain frost white skirt.

After cleaning up, she was tightly wrapped by Ye Yi, leaving only a delicate goose egg face under the hood outside, and the meat she had lost on the way to Beijing in the past half a month was replenished.

The cheeks are pink, and the complexion is exceptionally good.

After cleaning up and leaving the Hou Mansion, Gu Mu's carriage was already waiting in front of the Hou Mansion, Rong Wen went to his carriage to greet him, and then got into the carriage and followed Gu Mu's carriage, walking on the crowded Chang'an Street until it stopped in front of the imperial city gate.

Gu Mu'er was still wearing a scarlet official uniform, and the crane-patterned white jade on his waist was more conspicuous, he was long and jade, and his eyes looked at the palace gate deeply, Rong Wen got out of the carriage and walked to him and called 'second cousin', Gu Mu bowed his head, and his steps were raised.

The guards guarding the door saluted extremely respectfully: "Gu Zhongshu." ”

Gu Mu was tall, his steps were fast, Rong Wen's body was thick, and he almost had to trot to keep up, and after walking for a while, he seemed to realize that there was someone around him, so he slowed down.

At first, only Rong Wen and Gu Mu walked on the palace road of Yongchang, because it was not yet out of the New Year's Pass, the palace was full of red lanterns, Rong Wen looked at it for a while, and when he came back to his senses, many people had already followed the palace road one after another, she and Gu Mu were like candles in the dark night, too many people looked over.

Rong Wen bit his lip and glanced at Gu Mu, those ministers wanted to come to talk to him, but when they saw a woman beside him, they didn't dare to come forward.

Today, the people who came to the palace to attend the banquet in the Hou Mansion were not only Gu Mu and her, but also the second uncle and Gu Shuman.

Gu Shuyao was reluctant to come, it was too boring.

Along the way, she was about to be stared at into a sieve, until she walked into the palace, Gu Mu looked at her sideways, and wanted to let her go to Gu Shumana to sit, but she changed her mind and said in a deep voice: "Follow." ”

Rong Wen didn't know why he did this, she didn't follow him all the time.

Xu is Shangyuan Festival Palace Banquet His Majesty invited too many courtiers, the banquet road Rong Wen felt very long, until the long figure in front of him stopped, Rong Wen realized that they had walked to the front of the banquet.

It is only one step away from the dragon chair of the Son of Heaven.

Rong Wen couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and sat down behind Gu Mu.

After a cup of tea, the Empress of Heaven walked out of the inner hall, and after the ceremony, Rong Wen finally knew why Gu Shuyao was reluctant to come, she only knew that His Majesty had been talking and laughing with Gu Mu, and as for what was said, she had no intention of listening, so she just buried her head in eating.

Gu Shuyao told her: You follow my brother, and the banquet starts, just eat and drink.

Rong Wen didn't know what else to do except eat and drink, only a lady beside her chatted with her, and she didn't know the rest.

After nearly an hour of the banquet, Rong Wen saw that many women went out to breathe, her eyes fell on the golden pot in front of her, if she stayed any longer, this pot of wine would be drunk by her, and she had to restrain herself.

She hesitated behind Gu Mu for a moment, poked his shoulder with her fingertips, and saw him respond sideways, Rong Wen stepped forward and whispered, "Second cousin, I want to go out for a walk." ”

Gu Mu bowed: "Go ahead." ”

——

Rong Wen didn't go to a crowded place, only walked nearby, her sense of direction was not very good, if she got lost, it would be bad, she walked for a while, and suddenly 'snapped', something fell on her back.

Although it was thick on his body in winter, it still hurt suddenly.

Rong Wen turned around, and a four or five-year-old child was hitting the octagonal palace lamp on her side with a slingshot, but it didn't hit it accurately and fell on her.

The boy looked at her with round eyes, looked Rong Wen up and down, and said, "Sister fairy, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit you. After the boy finished speaking, seeing that Rong Wen didn't respond, he just kept looking at him stunned, and said, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Rong Wen took a step forward, squatted down and looked at the boy in front of him, his delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, his face was already pale, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead in the cold winter, the boy's intelligence, after noticing her abnormality, the fleshy little hand pulled her hand: "Sister? ”

Rong Wen came back to her senses, and the reddened eyes added a little charm to the sad woman, and she couldn't hide her eagerness to ask him: "You, whose child are you, your mother?" ”

When the boy saw her speak, he giggled and pulled Rong Wen's hand: "I'll take my sister to find my mother, and my sister will come with me." Rong Wen was so flustered that he didn't even pay attention to the 'mother concubine' in the boy's mouth.

For her, her mother is enough to crush all her strength, but she only sees in this child the eyebrows similar to her mother's, and the whole person has no strength at all.

My mind was full of what my mother had said to her: It's all your fault—it's all because of you—why didn't you die—my whole life was ruined by you—don't call my mother."

She didn't think about it, she was just held by the hand of the boy and kept walking, and kept walking.

When he stopped in front of a garden full of magnolia flowers, the boy raised his fleshy hand and pointed it to her: "Sister, you see, it is my mother who is sitting there and painting." ”

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the candles in the magnolia garden were bright, and through the blooming magnolia flowers, Rong Wen looked a little unrecognizable to the woman sitting under the pavilion.

She covered her face with tulle, looking at the appearance of no more than thirty years old, and was painting with her eyes down, although Rong Wen could not see what she wrote, but she knew that it must be a magnolia flower.

The boy called her mother, and she was His Majesty's concubine.

The corners of Rong Wen's lips hooked a faint smile, and said to the boy who was pulling her hand: "Why does your mother cover her face with a thin veil, does she have anything unspeakable?" ”
