Splendid spring returns

Everyone hurriedly turned around, only to see Gu Changting standing behind him with a smile, asking the woman, "What's going on? You can hear commotion in the room."

The mother-in-law explained the matter again, and Gu Changting nodded and said, "Aunt Xin's suggestion is good, so let's replace them with iron poles. There are none in the warehouse, so I will go and make some now. These wooden poles are too dangerous."

Mrs. Liao hurriedly said: "Every year there are many places where iron poles are used in the mansion, why not? Just open the warehouse to get them."

Aunt Gu looked at Gu Changting, and laughed softly: "My lord, I don't know much about myself. Tell you, there really are beasts that eat iron? Then... then, could it be that it has a stomach made of iron? Otherwise, how can it be restrained? Woolen cloth?"

Gu Changting said with a smile: "How can there be a belly made of iron? The black and white beasts eat bamboo, but there are also villagers who often see them going down the mountain and go to the kitchen to eat iron pots. That's where the name of the iron-eating beast comes from." .”

Xin Nian smiled and said: "This is really a big world, full of wonders. It's a pity that Shuzhong is thousands of miles away, we don't have a chance, otherwise we should see what this iron-eating beast looks like."

"It looks very good. Because it is born like a bear and feeds on bamboo, so it is often called Bamboo Bear. I am afraid that you will not be able to move when you see it, especially its cubs, which are very agile and cute. I remember some time ago. A pair of bamboo bears were paid as tribute in the middle of Shu in the middle of the year..."

Several people stood in the courtyard and chatted for a while, until another thunder sounded, Xin Nianfang said: "Seeing that it is going to rain, the prince should go in, and let's go back to each courtyard quickly, so as not to be rained by the rain."

"Exactly, you go quickly."

Gu Changting nodded, and Liao and the others took their leave.

When we got to a fork in the road, Aunt Gu said to Xin Nian: "I won't go to your place to talk anymore, the ethnology school starts tomorrow, I have to go back and see if Brother Chen has cleaned up."

"Okay." Xin Nian nodded, thought for a while and said, "Sister, don't just force Brother Chen to study, he will be the champion in 360 lines, not to mention he is the young master of the palace, are you afraid that there will be no way out in the future?"

Aunt Gu smiled wryly and said: "How could I not know that he is not that material? There are many of them, all of which are low-grade but only study is high. The prince values ​​it, how can I not urge him to work hard."

"There are very few people with both civil and military skills. The prince values ​​the study of the children of the clan, and he also values ​​their martial arts. Brother Chen is excellent in this respect, and he can be regarded as inheriting his father's career. My sister let him let go of his studies. The other children are worse."

Aunt Gu sighed and said, "It's really not possible, this is the only way to go."

The two parted ways, Xin Nian looked at the sky, fearing that the rain would take a while to come down, so he slowed down and browsed the spring scenery along the path.Suddenly she saw a few servants in the distance carrying a bundle of iron poles towards Concubine Liao's courtyard, she raised her eyebrows slightly, stood there and watched these people go, then turned around and went back to Qingliangyuan.

*****************
"Listen, Auntie, the sound of the rain is getting closer and closer, it seems that it will last all night."

As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, there was another thunder rumbling outside.Xin Nian stood up and said softly, "I went to see the children. I haven't seen such a big thunder in the past two years. I wonder if they slept peacefully."

Li Zhi hurriedly took an umbrella, Xin Nian said with a smile: "Just walk along the corridor, no need to open an umbrella."

"The wind is strong, and the rain has drifted in, and the ground in the corridor is wet."

As Li Zhi said, he finally opened the umbrella and stood beside Xin Nian. The two masters and servants came to the wing room along the veranda, first stood outside Gu Yufeng's room door, and heard soft voices inside, Xin Nian pushed away. He walked in and asked, "Yuzhu, are you afraid of thunder, Brother Feng?"

"Why is Si Niang here?"

Gu Yufeng's voice sounded, and soon Yuzhu lit a candle, stood up and said, "Aunt Xin, why are you here?"

"There's lightning and thunder tonight. I'll come and see the children. What's wrong? Brother Feng is afraid of thunder, so he can't sleep?"

"No, I'm not afraid of thunder and lightning." Gu Yufeng smiled slightly: "It's just that I just finished reading, and after turning off the lights, I talked to Sister Yuzhu for a while, and I'm going to sleep now."

"I see." Xin Nian smiled and patted his head: "Go to bed early, I have to study ethnology tomorrow morning."

"Yes, I see, Si Niang should go to bed earlier, don't worry about me."

Xin Nian nodded, turned and went out.Here Yuzhu whispered: "It's still the third young master who is smart and chose to live in Qingliangyuan. Aunt Xin is really a wonderful person, even if Aunt is alive, it's nothing more than that."

Gu Yufeng nodded: "Dad said earlier that Si Niang is a chivalrous woman with a good sense and warm heart. Now it seems that Si Niang is even better than what he said."

Yuzhu smiled and said: "Who says it's not. Chivalrous woman is not a good word among the nobles in the capital. I still think that Aunt Xin is powerful when she should be powerful, but when she should be gentle, she is more considerate and delicate than anyone else. She is really a watermelon." The same woman, no wonder the prince likes her."

It was difficult for Gu Yufeng to continue, so he coughed and got into bed: "Okay, go to sleep, don't forget to cover the quilt at night, it's raining and cold."

Yuzhu stood up with a smile: "Understood, the slaves still need the young master to care about them, the more they live, the more they come back."

After speaking, he came to the door, listened for a while, and heard the sound of footsteps wearing wooden clogs outside the door, from far to near, and then gradually went far away, and knew that it was Xin Niantan who had finished watching Liuzai and Yaya. It's time to go back to the room.So Fang came to the bedside to undress and rest.

"The young master and the girls are all sleeping soundly, so Auntie can rest assured to sleep."

Li Zhi put away her umbrella, and heard another loud thunder roll outside, she shrugged her shoulders and said, "It was a loud thunder, it scared me."

While talking, she turned around and saw Xin Nian was still standing by the door. She was about to speak when she suddenly saw a blue electric spark somewhere in the courtyard, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark night. She couldn't help being startled and said repeatedly: : "Auntie, look, what is that?"

"It's nothing, it was probably caused by thunder."

Xin Nian turned around with a calm expression. She had just seen a bolt of lightning fall, which just happened to land in the large water tank in the courtyard, and immediately exploded the water tank, causing crackling electric fires of blue water.

"On such a rainy night, I'm afraid that kid won't come, right? The prince is sitting in the concubine's courtyard for nothing tonight."

The blue electric fire quickly disappeared.Lizhi didn't take it seriously either, and helped Xin Nian take off her big clothes, muttering something in a low voice.

Xin Nian smiled: "Who says it's not? The prince wants to learn more, I think his wish may come to nothing."

Li Zhi also smiled and said: "If you want me to say, the prince wants to gain knowledge, he might as well come to us. I have never seen that blue spark just now. Who knows if it is haunted?"

"It's fine, what the hell is going on? And I'm not afraid of being haunted, and I haven't done anything wrong."

Li Zhi's face darkened, and she said softly: "Yes, Auntie is not afraid. I think the concubine is about to die of fright, and her eye sockets are all blue. It can be seen that she hasn't slept well for several nights. How do you know that she has done too many bad things?"
