Splendid spring returns

Gu Changting reached out to wipe away her tears, and said in surprise, "Nian Nian, what's wrong with you? This is a good thing, why are you crying?"

"It's not because of this." Xin Nian sniffed, stretched out his arm to wrap Gu Changting's arm and leaned his head on it, and said softly: "Because of your care for me, you still think of not worrying about me I thought sister Yao is back now, and your thoughts are all on her."

Gu Changting: ... "Uh... you know everything?"

"Such a big matter, can you still hide it from me?" Xin Nian raised his head: "The first day Sister Xian and Sister Yao came back, Sister Gu came to tell me. It's a coincidence, how could they be here? We met on the road? I heard that Sister Yao is alone. Could it be that something happened to her husband’s family? But Mrs. Yao is now a second-rank official in Yangzhou, a rich and prosperous place. Even if there is something wrong with Sister Yao, she should go back to her natal home That's right, why did you follow Sister Xian back?"

Gu Changting sighed, and said softly: "Her husband's family was confiscated and ransacked, and all the female relatives were sold. As for her father, you may not know Lord Yao, he is a very upright and stubborn official..."

Gu Changting didn't say the rest, but Xin Nian already understood: Isn't a particularly upright and stubborn official just a stubborn old master full of moral articles?This kind of person might not be able to accept a daughter who was sold by her husband's family, so Yao Yutong is really helpless now.

"Speaking of which, elder sister Yao is really pitiful. How do you plan to arrange her?"

Gu Changting said: "After my mother's funeral is over, let her move out with my eldest sister. Those houses are also idle, and they are told to pick a place. They are both widows, and they can be companions for each other..."

Before he finished speaking, seeing Xin Nian's stunned expression, Gu Changting's mouth twitched a few times, and said angrily, "What kind of eyes are you looking at? Is it wrong for me to arrange this?"

"Yes, yes, but...that's Sister Yao."

"So what about Sister Yao? Eldest sister is still my own sister. I know they are pitiful, but there are so many poor people in the world, should we all take care of them?"

Xin Nian raised his chin: "You know that's not what I mean."

"Then what do you mean?"

"What do I mean you really don't know?"

"do not know."

Gu Changting's answer was decisive, which made Xin Nian puzzled: "Didn't you like her the most before? Why now... you don't leave any room for it?"

"That was ignorance when I was young. Now I have both wives and concubines, and a group of children. I have already forgotten what happened so many years ago. Moreover, if I leave room for her and let her and eldest sister stay in the mansion, will you be suspicious again? I You won't be fooled by this."

"Okay." Xin Nian couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled: "I know that the prince is extremely smart and unparalleled in wisdom. So, you can just do it yourself, I won't talk too much."

"I don't need you to talk too much. I said that I will not let you down in this life. There is nothing else to worry about." Gu Changting stroked her smooth hair, then stretched his waist: "Is there any snacks and tea? Girls, bring some to eat, after eating...I have to go to watch for my mother."

"it is good."

Xin Nian nodded, the apricot blossoms and lychees were already prepared here, so she hurried into the room and put some delicate snacks and a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus liqueur on the table.

Xin Nian asked: "It's fine if you don't drink tea at night, you can get some water, why did you pour this thing?"

"Don't tell me, I just want to drink some wine right now, not strong wine, this sweet-scented osmanthus wine is just a little bit sweet, it just happens to be a snack."

Xinghua also said: "This wine has a low alcohol content, so you won't get drunk even if you drink it, but it does have some sleep-promoting effects, so bring it for the prince to drink."

"Okay, it's rare that you are so thoughtful."

Xin Nian nodded, here Gu Changting ate his snacks and sweet wine to his heart's content, before he bid farewell to leave.

Xin Nian sent him to the door, leaned against the door frame and saw him go far away, ordered the woman in the yard to close the door, and changed into her pajamas as she entered the room, sitting in front of the mirror, looking at the beauty in the mercury mirror, her mind drifted away Go, secretly thought: I don't know what sister Yao looks like now, I think she should still be pure and beautiful, right?Otherwise, with Gu Yunxian's heart, he might not be willing to take her along.

Just thinking about it, I heard Xinghua and Lizhi talking and laughing outside, I don't know what Xinghua said, Lizhi wanted to chase her and hit her.Xin Nian then said loudly: "Okay, what time is it? You are still naughty. Lizhi, you are also a person who is getting married, why do you look like a little girl? Xinghua, come in and help me make my bed."

Laughed for a while outside, only to hear the footsteps going away, then Xinghua came in and smiled: "Look, Auntie, this person really shouldn't do good things, I just told Lizhi not to worry, she will marry soon Give it to Mr. Zhao, and she will beat me instead."

"Are you doing something good? You are just teasing her narrowly."

Xin Nian saw that Xinghua had made the bed and was about to go there to rest when she saw her confidant girl come over and said with a smile: "Auntie, can you rest assured now? The prince is still the same to you as before, and he didn't get angry with you because of the concubine's matter." to you."

Xin Nian nodded, and said softly: "It's really beyond my expectation that he can untangle his heart so quickly."

"Auntie usually arranges for the prince, and now you have seen it. Tell me, Miss Yao and Miss Xiao can't compare to your position in the prince's heart."

"That's hard to say." Xin Nian shook his head: "Silly girl, do you really think that there will be no gap between us when the prince comes tonight? Sure enough, there is no pimple left in his heart, and he will stay here tonight gone."

"Ah?" Xinghua was stunned: "But the lord... the lord said it very well, and I'm afraid that it will be difficult for you to ask my aunt to host the marriage between the third girl and Lizhi, so I have considered this for your sake... "

"This is his rationality. He is such a smart person, of course he knows that it was lightning that caused the concubine to die, and this thing is not something I can create and control, so no matter how you look at it, the death of the concubine has nothing to do with me. But emotionally, always Suspicious, wondering if I did something to attract the lightning strike? This is a thorn in his heart, if it can't be removed, then in the future, he can only be a loving couple and respect each other as guests."

"Ah?" Xinghua was stunned again: "A loving couple treat each other like guests...isn't it good?"

"Of course it's not good. Treat your wife as a guest, with more than respect but no love, what kind of couples are you doing like this? It's better to be ordinary friends. The effect is the same, and it's even better."

"It sounds a little bad. Now the prince and the aunt are talking and laughing freely, and they look like honey mixed with oil. If they treat each other as guests in the future, wouldn't they be polite? It's not like the love between husband and wife. gone."
