23 Chapter 23

After the beginning of spring, the weather gradually warmed up, Rong Wen ordered someone to set up a swing in the backyard, the wine secretly bought from the restaurant a year ago has already been drunk by her, she plans to make wine in the back cover room when the spring flowers bloom.

The place where she lives is quiet, and very few people come, and when she makes wine for the first time, the whole Hou Mansion will not waft away with the aroma of wine.

At this time, Ye Yi and Hua Yi were already quietly preparing all the materials for brewing.

After going to the old lady to say goodbye early in the morning, Gu Shuyao followed Rong Wen to her Jingyin Courtyard, with a sad face, took Rong Wen's hand and went to the low couch in the house to sleep, and complained while eating chestnut cakes: "Cousin, I've been uncomfortable these days, my mother has been in a bad mood recently, so she took me away and tossed me, and my ears are calloused." ”

Rong Wen just sat down, and was about to pick up the cup with his hand, paused, and looked at Gu Shuyao: "Auntie-is it because of grandmother, is she in a bad mood?" ”

She had already told her grandmother about it two days earlier, and in recent days, her grandmother was still very friendly to her eldest aunt, she looked at Gu Shuyao seriously, looking forward to her answer.

Gu Shuyao chewed something in her mouth and 'hummed' twice: "No, she is worried about me and my brother, saying that I am not as dignified and gentle as the fourth sister, and scolded me again and again, if I want to say, she just doesn't dare to scold my brother, so she catches me, a bully." ”

"A few years ago, my mother said that she would prepare a banquet in the Hou Mansion after the Shangyuan Festival, and give my brother a fancy to the daughter of the family in the capital, but before this matter was opened, my brother stopped it."

Gu Shuyao looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's difficult, it's too difficult to be a man, especially for someone like me." ”

Rong Wen was amused by her appearance, took a green jujube and chewed it in small bites, and asked Gu Shuyao quite curiously: "The second cousin is not young anymore, and I used to wonder why my eldest aunt was not in a hurry for him to marry a wife." ”

Gu Shuyao snorted twice: "Master Hongyuan of Shou'an Temple outside the city divined my brother, saying that if he marries a wife within three years, there will be a big disaster, otherwise my mother would have gone crazy." ”

Gu Shuyao's words were in Rong Wen's heart, and the words on the paper she saw in Master Hongyuan's meditation room in Shou'an Temple were vivid in her mind, and she was still wondering why Master Hongyuan had nothing to do with those things on the paper.

I see.

The second cousin and Master Hongyuan met, and he went to Master Hongyuan to divinate the fate, so she saw the second cousin's obscure thing by chance.

Rong Wen bit his lip at the thought of this.

In the corner of the pine table in Master Hongyuan's meditation room, there is a piece of dusty silk paper, which is clearly written: I am lacking, and I dare not delay others.

It's no wonder that he found other reasons to prevaricate his eldest aunt, otherwise if the eldest aunt knew the truth, she would only have the second cousin's son, how could she stand it.

However, on Chinese New Year's Eve, she had already seen this with Gu Muyan in Master Hongyuan's meditation room, and he was not annoyed and angry, and there was no difference between normal days.

It's just that a man with such a skin as him is lacking, which is a pity.

Gu Shuyao saw that she was chewing green dates in her mouth in a daze, and there was an indescribable look between her eyebrows and eyes, Gu Shuyao called her: "Cousin, what do you want?" ”

"Huh?" Rong Wen came back to his senses and doubted: "No, it's nothing, I'm just thinking, it's not easy for my aunt, you are still obedient." ”

Gu Shuyao snorted a few more times and bit the chestnut cake in his hand one bite at a time.

——

Rong Wen often went to the little uncle's courtyard in the past two days, and the little uncle told her very clearly about how to take care of Zhuangzi, but every time she didn't talk about the essence, Gu Shufan pulled her to play.

Yes, she went for several days in a row, and she didn't listen to her uncle explain it clearly.

After lunch, Wan'er walked into the house and replied: "Girl, the third master has ordered someone to deliver something again, this time it is a big object, a bookcase of Jin Song Nanmu, saying that it comes with rosin, and the girl will often be busy taking care of Zhuangzi and the shop in the future, just to refresh her mind." ”

Rong Wen is embroidering sachets on the low couch in the house, her grandmother is old, often sleepless at night, she wants to embroider a soothing sachet for her and put it next to the pillow, and when she hears the words, she will stay in the courtyard to take a look.

She stood in the courtyard for a while, and said to Ye, "Come out with me." ”

A few days earlier, she had returned all the things sent to her by Gu Tan, the third master of the Hou Mansion, and told him in person that she didn't have to send them again, but she didn't expect that the little uncle would continue to send her things while agreeing.

Rong Wen came to the Cedar Courtyard where Gu Tan lived, Gu Shufan slept late last night, and was taking a nap at this time, Gu Tan smiled heartily when he saw her: "Wen'er is here, do you like the bookcase that your uncle gave you?" ”

Gu Tan is only thirty-two years old this year, his face is handsome and very young, but he is just mixed in the business field, although he is tall and slightly fat, his belly in front of him seems to be pregnant in four or May, and it is bulging.

Rong Wen politely called the little uncle: "There are all kinds of things in the Jingyin Courtyard, I don't lack these, don't send me anything in the future." ”

Gu Tan motioned for her to sit, poured her a cup of osmanthus drink, and said softly: "Since Wen'er has come to the Hou Mansion, she is a person from the Hou Mansion, and your grandmother has repeatedly asked us as elders to take care of you, and besides, Shufan She likes to play with you," Speaking of this, he was very pleased: "You don't know, since the death of her mother, this child has become more and more difficult to discipline, and now that you are here, uncle is not to mention how happy." ”

Rong Wen can empathize with Gu Shufan's experience, she picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of tea, and listened to Gu Tan and said: "In the future, when I go out to do errands, I can worry less, Wen'er, uncle wants to thank you, and you will accept the things you give." ”

Rong Wen still refused: "I will keep the golden silk nanmu bookcase, but in the future, my uncle will not send anything else, I really don't need it." ”

Gu Tan didn't argue with her, but said: "If I go to Yangzhou in the future and come back to bring some hometown items to Wen'er, the girl's family will always be homesick when she is away." ”

Rong Wen raised her eyes and looked at her little uncle, this kind of words were too fatal for her, and she answered with her head bowed.

Rong Wen sat here for a while, and after Gu Shufan woke up from a nap, he dragged Rong Wen to accompany her to the backyard to play, Gu Tan stood aside and watched this scene, and was very happy in his heart.

Only his eyes mostly fell on Rong Wen, a graceful girl, with black hair and a shawl, a raw hibiscus face, and a slender neck as white as snow in the sun, extending downward, as if you could get a glimpse of the delicate color of snow skin.

Gu Tan's eyes were slightly downcast, and the palm hanging down his side clenched unconsciously, as if he was grasping the softness.
