Splendid spring returns

It was Gu Changting.Xin Nian smiled, stepped forward and said, "I went to the Qingliang Pavilion, but there is no one there now. The project is only half done, and I think there is still a month before the Chinese New Year. Why have all the craftsmen withdrawn?"

"Are you still thinking about Qingliang Pavilion?" Gu Changting looked surprised, and then took her hand: "Nian Nian, now that you are half of the family, you are supposed to be in charge of the backyard, why do you still want to run to Qingliang Pavilion?"

Xin Nian lowered her eyes and said softly: "I'm going to move back before the Dragon Boat Festival next year at the latest. I'm used to being quiet and at ease. Now that Sister Xian is back, grandma is much calmer than before after going through the funeral of the concubine, and my father taught her a lesson. Thinking about it, she should also learn a lot of wisdom, and when the time comes, the key to the warehouse, the kitchen and other places will still be handed over to her or Sister Xian for management..."

"This is nonsense." Gu Changting's tone was filled with anger: "We have already agreed before that I will not give the key to the warehouse to anyone else."

"At that time, the concubine was newly mourned. I knew you were grieving, so I didn't argue with you."

When the two entered the room, Xin Nian reprimanded the girls, poured a cup of tea for Gu Changting himself, and said softly, "When I move to Qingliang Pavilion, I will hand over all of these..."

"No."

Gu Changting flatly refused, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you not want Eldest Sister and Lady Yao to live in the mansion? Don't worry, I never thought of letting them live in the mansion. Now that my mother's funeral is over, I've waited This year, let them move out to the house."

"That's inappropriate." Xin Nian shook his head and said: "Some of your previous actions in the house have been criticized by your servants as being unkind. Now Sister Xian has come back alone. She said she wants to find a place at home. But you kicked her out. Yes, those who knew said that you arranged another place for her to live, but what about those who didn’t know? And you know the eldest sister’s temperament. Although she doesn’t have many close friends in Beijing, she doesn’t have any friends. In front of others, Cry once, and your little brother will become a human being inside and out."

"But should we just allow her to stir up trouble in the house?"

Gu Changting frowned, he didn't know these troubles, he just couldn't bear it.I could hear Xin Nian whispering: "It may not be the wind and the rain. Sister Xian and I have always been at odds, so I took a step back and went back to the Qingliang Pavilion. I think the elder sister and grandma are cousins, so there will be some conflicts. To be able to pass, after all, whether to kiss or not, breaks the bones and connects the tendons."

"You do have confidence in them, but it's a pity that I know them better than you. It's okay for you to be here. When you leave, I'm afraid they'll be beaten out of their brains."

With a "poof", Xin Nian laughed, shook his head and said, "How can you be so exaggerated?" After speaking, he pushed Gu Changting and said coquettishly, "You left me in the backyard just to use me as a shield , to block the anger of Sister Xian and Grandma, right?"

"With my support, you are the one in charge of this house. Who among them dares to show your face?"

"Hehe!" Xin Nian sneered: "Forget it, I know my own affairs, I am now a clay bodhisattva, I have no spare energy to mediate between Sister Xian and Grandma. And... Mrs. Yao is now in the mansion..."

"What does she have to do with us in the mansion?" Gu Changting was in a hurry: "I told you a long time ago that my old feelings for her...for her have long since vanished. The person in my heart is you, and you have always been you. Why don't you believe it?"

Xin Nian stared at him, and suddenly said softly: "I also know that you don't have any doubts about the concubine dying in front of me."

Gu Changting: ...

Xin Nian gave a wry smile, spread his hands and said, "Look, there are some words that you can tell the truth as soon as you hear them. Changting..."

Xin Nian took Gu Changting's hand without waiting for him to speak, and said softly: "No need to say more, I know you have pimples in your heart, and I don't blame you at all, I would have pimples if I were you. I know why It may not be the same as what you always think in your heart. You tell yourself a thousand times or ten thousand times that the concubine's death has nothing to do with me. Human nature. Similarly, how can you tell me now that you have no affection for Sister Yao? Even if you want to say that you have always liked me, not Sister Yao, I would not believe you. In this case, we might as well each other Take a step back and let me go to the Qingliang Pavilion. I don’t show up in front of people, and I don’t need to meet each other, so I can calm down. In the future, when you have no grudges in your heart, and I see that you and Sister Yao are not broken, I will come back at that time , as long as you need, I will be your director, no complaints and no regrets. We still live in peace and beauty, okay?"

Gu Changting looked at Xin Nian attentively and saw that her face was calm, her eyes were as gentle and clear as water, and there was no trace of distracting thoughts.He thought about Xin Nian's words carefully and found that he was speechless. He had to smile bitterly and said: "Well, since you mentioned this, I can't pretend to be confused. But I have to move to Qingliang Pavilion. At least I can wait. Although everyone is not thinking about the New Year now, the ancestor is still alive, so for her sake, this New Year must be lively and lively; secondly, there have been one funeral after another in the past two years, so you should take advantage of the New Year to get rid of any bad luck. Say?"

"Okay. I'll discuss it with grandma and sister Xian then." Xin Nian smiled: "But you have to promise me to send someone to repair Qingliang Pavilion. Don't make a bad idea, thinking that if Qingliang Pavilion cannot be lived in anymore, I have to move back."

"This can't be done." Gu Changting shook his head: "I must tell them to repair it carefully. Otherwise, if something goes wrong and people don't meet, it's fine. If someone does, there will be casualties, it's not for fun."

"As long as you know."

Xin Nian nodded, she was relieved that this important matter was finalized, especially Gu Changting's attitude towards her was a bit reluctant, which was a good sign for her plan of retreating into progress.

"Didn't the prince ask my aunt to help arrange the New Year's affairs? Why do I think you don't care at all. Really, these days some people have reverted to their old ways. Don't mention how arrogant they are. My aunt should show their prestige."

The plum blossoms were in full bloom in the garden, Xin Nian strolled in it, and heard the two women muttering beside her, she couldn't help but smiled, but she didn't speak.

She was lazy to deal with it, so someone would speak for her, only to hear Xinghua sneer and say: "If they want to be proud, let them do it. Don't worry, they are all capable heroes. Our aunt has been busy with the house for the past two years." Things are not on the ground, and the third girl and Lizhi were sent out of the pavilion a while ago. It was so easy to think about resting for two months at the end of the year, and you came to urge your life again. How many things can you do during the Chinese New Year this year? It’s not enough for grandma, let alone grandma Also in the mansion, why do we need our aunt? I advise you, just do your own business with peace of mind and don't worry about the masters, this is what you are good for, otherwise be careful when you will become a pool of trouble Fish, maybe no one will worry about you at that time."
