Splendid spring returns

"My aunt got up early, so she came to drink tea in the tent at this time."

Liao Shi, Xin Nian and others put away their umbrellas and walked into the tent, only to see Concubine Liao laughing: "Before I was ill for a while, I didn't feel like coming to enjoy the rain in the tent. The first time I came in to enjoy it, I was met by you. In such weather, why bother to come here.”

"My aunt has treated us very well. She is so polite. We can't be lazy in just two days of greeting us. Let alone the slightest rain, we will come over even if there is lightning and thunder."

Mrs. Liao sat down beside Concubine Liao, but Xin Nian and the others could only stand, the tent was not big enough and there were not so many chairs.

As if in response to her words, she heard thunder rolling across the sky, and Liao hurriedly said: "Hey! I'm too quick to talk, what thunder are you talking about? Isn't this really thunder? Forget it, don't wait for the rain to rain heavily, no Fa'er goes back to the house, it won't be good if he catches a cold, Auntie, let's go back."

Xin Nian's heart suddenly lifted, but she saw Concubine Liao waving her hands and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, the thunder can't hit our tent. Come on, try this butter roll, it was sent by the kitchen earlier, I think it's not bad .”

"Is that Du Sanniang's handicraft again?"

Mrs. Liao picked up a butter roll, looked at Xin Nian with a smile, but saw Concubine Liao nodded and smiled, "But. I heard that she woke up in less than four o'clock, and when she was done, she brought it to me personally. At that time It's still raining heavily, so it's hard for her to be so considerate."

Xin Nian shook hands involuntarily, but said nothing.Seeing that she didn't respond, Grand Concubine Liao felt annoyed, and said lightly: "Okay, you go, I haven't seen Jiaru for a few days, let her talk to me for a while."

"Yes."

The three of Xin Nian saluted together and were about to leave, when Liao suddenly said with a smile: "Aunt Qiu is fine when she goes back, why don't you stay and help me pick out the two brocades that my aunt promised me last time. Don't worry, I won't let you choose for nothing. , When you turn around, whichever horse you like, you can also take it back and make a new dress."

Aunt Qiu happily complied, when the thunder rolled across the sky one after another.Xin Nian and Aunt Gu came out of the tent, and when they were out of the yard, Aunt Gu said angrily, "What about the empress dowager, is she so generous? It's not because the prince prefers you to manage the storeroom. The prince just wants to give you the treasury, and it's hard to seize the right. Now I hate you so much that I hate you so much. In this weather, we sincerely come to greet you. There is still thunder in the sky, so she drives us out like this, and calls me down. People see, what do you mean?"

After talking for a long time, there was no sound around her, so Aunt Gu turned around and said, "Hey! Sister, what are you thinking? I've been complaining for a long time, do you hear me?"

Xin Nian didn't hear Aunt Gu's words, her mind was full of the scene she saw just before she was about to leave: Concubine Liao was hugging Liao Jiaru and talking; Aunt Qiu was beaming behind them, probably thinking about the brocade; The servants all lowered their heads because of the oppressive atmosphere; Aunt Gu turned around and was almost out of the tent, but she was about to turn around, her gaze still remained on the vertical iron pole in the middle of the table.

It was at this moment that she saw a few strands of lightning flashing from the iron rod, and then there was a thunderous sound above her head, but the iron rod did not move.

why?Sure enough, the thunder and lightning hit the iron rod, but why are the table and the people in front of the table all right?Why was that person killed by lightning in the Qingliang Pavilion?Could it be that the time has not yet come, and the retribution has not yet come?But even so, there must be some marks on the table, why did it disappear so quietly.

"Sister... sister..."

"Oh?"

Xin Nian recovered, smiled at Aunt Gu, "It's nothing, I was thinking about something, what did sister just say?"

Aunt Gu had no choice but to repeat what she had said before, seeing Xin Nian leaning towards her, she couldn't help but quickly looked up and down, and found that there was nothing wrong, then she wondered: "Why is my sister looking at me like this?"

Xin Nian chuckled: "It's nothing. It's just that what my sister said just now, 'greeting you with sincerity' seems a bit insincere."

Aunt Gu was speechless, just like what Xin Nian said, what kind of sincerity could they have towards Concubine Liao?Because of embarrassment, he stomped his feet and said, "Look at you, I'm just complaining about our injustice, you and I are picking this word."

Xin Nian laughed more and more happily, seeing Aunt Gu not stomping her feet, she put her arms around her shoulders to comfort her: "Okay, but it's just a show, it's normal that the concubine doesn't want to see us, don't we really want to see her? Since we hate each other, it would be better if she kicked us out earlier. Don’t you want to be like Aunt Qiu, standing behind grandma like a pug because of a piece of brocade?”

"Bah!" Aunt Gu couldn't help spitting: "I was really deceived by lard before, how could I flatter them in front of them. Aunt Qiu is also a fool. With the example of Aunt Feng and I, I still can't see it." Grandma is a jackal who cannibalizes people without spitting out bones, and she serves her faithfully."

"Everyone has his own aspirations, so don't force them." Xin Nian looked at the sky, "I think it might rain, so why don't you just go back, Brother Chen came back from school, with you as a mother, the hot soup is hot." The water is all ready."

"But." Aunt Gu said hastily: "It's fortunate that you reminded me, so I'll go back now, and you should hurry back to your room. Now you have more than half of the power in the mansion. I don't know what to do."

The two then parted ways.

When Xin Nian returned to the courtyard, she saw Gu Yunxiang on the corridor, and asked her as she went up the stairs: "It's raining today, so I'll stop your girls' lessons. If you don't stay indoors, take a good rest." , why did you come here in the rain?"

Gu Yunxiang only smiled and said that he had nothing to do, so he came to have a look.Then the two entered the room and talked for a while. Xin Nianfang saw through Nizi's intentions: "I mean, it turns out that Enke's exam is held today. So, all the candidates in our house have gone to the Gongyuan?"

"No, it just happened to be such a weather." Gu Yunxiang turned his head to look at the rain outside the window: "Brother Wang said that nearly half of the sheds in the Gongyuan are not very good, and I don't know if they can get a good seat."

"It doesn't really matter if someone else gets a good seat. The most important thing is that Mr. Jiang must get a good seat, right?"

Gu Yunxiang was in a trance, and nodded subconsciously when he heard the words, and immediately recalled it, his pretty face flushed, he got up and beat Xin Nian, and shouted: "Auntie bullied me again."

"I don't dare to bully the third girl. Don't say that Aunt Qin won't spare me. Even if Mr. Jiang knows, he will scold me as a tigress behind his back."
