Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 209
In mid-June, Lin Mo Niang's big day finally arrived.

As a wedding sister, Gu Sixiao not only had to send her off, but also had to stay at the groom's house for two days, and did not accompany the bride and groom back to her mother's house until she returned home in three dynasties.

This is a custom, but Gu Sixiao really doesn't want to live in Zheng's house, even if it is for an hour, he will feel sick.

Looking at Zheng Xuan's thoughtful smile at the banquet from a distance from the corridor, and then turned back to the room, looking at Lin Moniang who was wearing a red hijab, Gu Sixiao really had the urge to lift the hijab and tell Lin Moniang who Zheng Xuan was. What kind of loss.

But at this moment, she can't do anything.

"Sister Mo Niang, I'll be going back soon. There must be someone in the villa to take care of it. Otherwise, when you and your son return home, you will be too negligent."

"I'm sorry, my sister," Lin Mo Niang said sincerely.

"If she didn't want to help me, my sister could have lived in the Hou's residence for two days..."

Listening to Lin Mo Niang's words, Gu Sixiao just smiled faintly.

The aloofness in the past was just an appearance, in Lin Mo Niang's heart, she still valued her family status, so what about the Hou Mansion?It may not be more comfortable than living in your own home.

It's just that these words cannot be said to Lin Mo Niang.

Gu Sixiao turned around and called the girl who was waiting outside, "Your name is Lianhua, right? There is no one in the room right now, so you should wait inside!"

Lin Moniang's dowry girl had just been replaced for dinner, and only the girl from the Hou family was left in the yard.Gu Sixiao is also a casual person.

After giving the order, she turned around and walked out. Glancing out of the corner of her eyes, she saw that Lianhua had a strange expression, which seemed to be frightened and excited, and even her hands were trembling.

Thinking about it in her heart, she felt a little worried, "Sister," she turned her head, looked at Lin Mo Niang, and said hesitantly, "If the prince drinks too much later, why not let him rest in the study next to him!"

Lin Mo Niang was silent for a moment, and then said quietly: "If my sister wants to leave, you can go back first, I will figure it out."

As soon as Gu Sixiao heard it, she knew that Lin Mo Niang must have misunderstood.

The reason why she said this was because she knew that Zheng Xuanfu Wushisan had a violent temper and had once beaten to death a girl beside her.Although I have switched to the "Fushou Ointment" now, I don't know what kind of effect it is, but the violent temper may not be able to change.It was only then that he was worried that Zheng Xuan would hurt Lin Mo Niang after drinking, so he reminded him of this sentence.

She meant well, but since Lin Mo Niang didn't take it seriously, she didn't have to say anything more.

Leaving Lin Mo Niang behind, she left the yard straight away and walked towards the corner door on the side.

After passing through this corner gate, there is a garden. Pass through the garden, exit the second gate, go straight along the corridor, and you can go to the yard where you got off the car. Su Mei should be waiting for her there.

Passing through the garden, one could vaguely hear the commotion of the front yard.Even in the backyard, and in the big garden to the side, there were faint laughter.

Today's Jianchanghou Mansion is full of lights and festoons, full of joy.She had sneaked a look at the banquet in the front yard before. Although none of them were wearing official uniforms, but listening to the words, this one is an adult, and that one is also an adult.

Later, at the banquet for the female family members, when she was seated before, the female family members from various prefectures were seated with jewels and jewels. You don't need to listen carefully to know that these must be the wives of officials.

Such a banquet, if she stayed for a moment longer, she felt her chest was tight, and she casually drank a glass of wine with the aunt of the Hou family who came here to respect her natal sister, and she found an excuse to leave.

"Don't look at the wealth and honor of this mansion, it looks like flowers blooming like a brocade, and it won't take long to cook the oil..."

Whispering in a low voice, Gu Sixiao didn't dare to raise her voice even if she deliberately didn't let the girl lead the way.

Her eyes flickered, she stopped and subconsciously looked at the flowers not far away.

Is she too suspicious?I vaguely felt that there was someone behind the tree.

After pausing for a moment, she immediately moved forward quickly.

With a sound of "Hula", a big black bird flew out from behind the tree in front, scaring Gu Sixiao back.

Before she was in shock, she felt a person pinching her arm behind her.

Shocked, Gu Sixiao didn't even look at it, and directly pulled out the hairpin from her hair and stabbed it fiercely.

She wears a wooden hairpin just for self-defense.

Gold and silver are too soft, but this sharpened wooden hairpin is a sharp weapon.

"It hurts..." The visitor let go of his hand in a low voice, but complained in a low voice, "Hua'er, are you going to kill me?"

After calming down and using the moonlight to see who was coming, Gu Sixiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Brother Tiancang, why are you here?"

Sun Tiancang didn't answer her question, but just looked at her, his eyes flickering, "Hua'er, did you get scared just now? Your face is so pale?"

He lowered his eyes, looked around, and then asked in a low voice: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that someone in the Hou's mansion will harm you?! You, your enemy, are you really the prince?!"

Surprised, Gu Sixiao didn't hide it for a while, "How do you know?"

Who told Sun Tiancang?She hadn't revealed this before.

Hearing her question, Sun Tiancang still couldn't understand, "It really is true——what do you want to do?"

Gu Sixiao didn't speak, but just looked at Sun Tiancang fixedly.

Seeing her expression, Sun Tiancang was inexplicably sour, "Su Jingchun told me everything, but I don't know what he wants me to do? Does he also want me to introduce General Li for him?"

"Jing Chun—have you met him?" There was a hint of joy in her voice, and after seeing Sun Tiancang's eyes, she restrained herself a bit.

"Brother Tiancang, it's not that I want to hide it from you, but that this kind of thing is really hard to say - when I knew that Zheng Xuan was the killer, I was also very scared..."

"Zheng Xuan is the one who killed you?" Unconsciously, Sun Tiancang clenched the handle of the knife tightly.

Nodding her head, Gu Sixiao said in a low voice: "If you want to kill Zheng Xuan, you have to bring down the crown prince first. I'm not afraid to tell Brother Tiancang that Jing Chun and Prince Rui have other ideas, and my brother is also a big thinker." If you have the heart, you might as well give it a go—I have already bet the entire Xue family..."

Gu Sixiao didn't dare to say more, she gently shook Sun Tiancang's hand, and said softly: "Brother, I regard you as a brother, and I only hope for your well-being. Even now, I am the same as the original sentence." Words. It’s too dangerous, I don’t want you to take risks…”

"What did you say, you, you all said that you regard me as a brother..." Sun Tiancang's face was a little hot, and he only felt that his chest was swollen and uncomfortable. Although the night was dark, he was still afraid that Gu Sixiao would see his expression, Turning his head and taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice, "Since you call me brother, then I have to look like a brother. Hua'er, don't worry..."

Gu Sixiao's heart moved slightly, and he wanted to ask again, but Sun Tiancang laughed and said, "I have to go back to the front table, um, I'll take you back to the front yard..."

It's not easy to ask any more, so Gu Sixiao had no choice but to swallow his words, and walked forward with his head down.

Seeing that the second gate was about to be reached, the lanterns raised by the woman in front of the gate could be seen clearly. Sun Tiancang stopped and hid behind the flowers. Door.

Turning her head subconsciously, the light was dim, and she could no longer see Sun Tiancang's figure.After pausing on the second gate for a while, Gu Sixiao turned around and walked towards the yard where the carriage was parked.

"Also ask my mother to help me call my driver." It's not good to call someone directly, Gu Sixiao smiled and asked the doorkeeper's mother to help me go this way.

The mother turned around, and within a quarter of an hour, Su Mei rushed over.

It's not easy to say much in the Hou's mansion, Gu Sixiao didn't ask Su Mei if she could gain anything, and got into the car directly.

When the carriage drove out of the Hou's mansion, she asked in a low voice: "How is it? What did you find?"

Did not hear Su Mei's answer, Gu Sixiao frowned, and was about to poke his head to look, but felt a gust of wind, and a black shadow jumped into the carriage with the curtain lifted.

Gu Sixiao was startled at first, but when he saw the person clearly, he rushed over immediately.

"Jingchun..." Gu Sixiao threw herself into Su Jingchun's arms, her voice choked up.

She hadn't seen Su Jingchun since she came to Beijing. Although she heard about Su Jingchun from Su Mei, she still felt uneasy.

"Why did you come? What if someone sees you?" Suddenly awakened from the danger, Gu Sixiao pulled the curtains tightly with a nervous expression.

Pulling her into his arms with a smile, Su Jingchun said softly, "Don't worry, Sixiao, I won't be caught easily." With his arms around Gu Sixiao, Su Jingchun rubbed his head into her arms aggrievedly, "You don't know me How impatient, I'm afraid that if I don't come to see you again, you will be hooked away by another kid!"

"Nonsense again..." After a pause, Gu Sixiao unconsciously turned her head to look outside. Although she couldn't see anything across the carriage, she still hummed.

Su Jingchun knew so clearly, so it was Su Mei's words.This guy said he was protecting her, but after all he was spying on her secretly.

Feeling a little unhappy, she nudged Su Jingchun, and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, what did you say to Brother Tiancang? What do you want him to do?"

"It's nothing," Su Jingchun smiled, and didn't answer her directly, "Can you still not trust me? Sun Tiancang is your righteous brother, how could I cheat him?"

"It's fine if you don't!" Gu Sixiao stared at him, and said in a deep voice, "Jingchun, I really regard Tiancang as my elder brother. If it wasn't for him, I would have died a long time ago."

"I know that I will repay the kindness to you in this world." Stroking Gu Sixiao's hair, Su Jingchun said softly: "Don't worry, I never thought about letting Sun Tiancang do anything dangerous, at most let him Do a little thing."

Nodding her head, Gu Sixiao didn't ask any more questions, she believed that Su Jingchun would not lie to her.

"Sixiao, in two days' time, it will be the Fan King Conference. You have to be prepared. The top three winners will get the right to purchase tribute fans. Those who defeat the Korean and Japanese missions may even be killed by the nobles in the palace. It is a reward, and I have the opportunity to enter the palace to participate in the sacrificial ceremony of the Hungry Ghost Festival."

Although his voice was low, Su Jingchun's eyes were very cold at the moment, "That night was Zheng Xuan's end..."

"On Hungry Ghost Festival?" Repeating Su Jingchun's words, Gu Sixiao pursed her lips, and her hands trembled unconsciously. Even she couldn't tell whether it was because of fear or excitement.

Since the Great Xia had a state, every Zhongyuan Festival must hold a sacrificial ceremony.A large boat filled with flames was released from the waterway in the palace to burn clothes and deliver food on the Bian River in the city to save all living beings.

That night, not only in the palace, but also among the people, there was an activity of releasing river lanterns. It can be said that it was the most lively night in the whole year after the Shangyuan Festival.

It really was a good day to do it that night.
