Ye Yun paused and said without looking back: "I wonder what Mr. Fu has to do with me."
Looking at Ye Yun who didn't even want to look back, Fu Qimo felt depressed in his heart. He tried hard to suppress his unhappiness and said, "It's a very important matter. Let's talk about it after we come in."
Not sure what kind of medicine Fu Qimo's gourd was selling, Ye Yun thought about it for a moment and decided to take a look.
So, he turned around and entered the pavilion.
"Tell me what's going on." Ye Yun said straight to the point.
"Sit down." Fu Qimo poured a cup of tea and put it on the opposite side. Ye Yun glanced at the teacup, paused, and sat down.
"You can tell me this time."
"It was the Fourth Prince who rescued Tong Ying in the mountain behind Hanshan Temple that night. I suspect that the assassination was probably related to the Fourth Prince." Fu Qimo lowered his voice very low. After speaking, he glanced at Ye Yun, but I found that the other party's expression was as usual, as if he had known it for a long time.
Fu Qimo said in surprise: "You know?"
Picking up the teacup on the table and moistening his throat, Ye Yun looked at Fu Qimo and said in a cold tone: "If my affairs are not settled, please worry, and... take care of yourself."
After saying that, Ye Yun stood up and walked out of the pavilion. Outside the pavilion, Heng Wu glanced at Fu Qimo, who was sitting in the pavilion blankly, and raised his heels.
At noon, joy was playing in the front yard. Ye Yun was about to rush to the front yard with Heng Wu, but they happened to meet the maid who came to invite them, so they went together.
When Ye Yun arrived, everyone was already seated at the table. When Guo Huai saw her coming, he hurriedly led her to the main seat and sat down.
"The eldest princess of the imperial sister is so arrogant." Yu Wenyi, who was sitting on the right side of Ye Yun, mocked.
Glancing at Yu Wenyi from the corner of his eye, Ye Yun said without any pain or itch: "Who told me to be reborn as a fetus?"
"You! Huh!" Yu Wenyi snorted coldly and drank two glasses of wine before he could stop his anger.
As delicacies continued to be served on the table, it soon came to the birthday celebrations. What was called a birthday celebration was actually nothing more than a birthday speech and birthday gifts from the Guo family.
As for other people's birthday gifts, the waiter had already given the gift list and the birthday gifts to the servants of Guo Mansion when they came to the door. At this moment, they just need to sit quietly and eat.
Birthday greetings always pay attention to the order of elders and younger ones. Guo Huai and Jiang glanced at each other. They stood up and came to the old lady and said in unison: "My son and daughter-in-law wish my mother that the sun and the moon will shine together and that she will never grow old."
After saying this, Mrs. Jiang continued: "My mother has always paid homage to Buddha, and my daughter-in-law ordered someone to build a white jade statue of Guanyin. I hope my mother will like it."
While they were talking, the maid handed over the things. The old lady opened the gift box and saw the lifelike Guanyin statue inside, which was translucent. She immediately smiled from ear to ear and shouted: "My daughter-in-law has a heart, my daughter-in-law has a heart." Yes, mother likes it very much!"
Immediately after Guo Huai, there was Guo Taan and his wife Li Shi.
"My son and daughter-in-law wish my mother a happy birthday, and wish her a prosperous sun and moon, and a long spring!" the two said in unison.
After finishing speaking, Guo Tan added: "A few days ago, my son found a picture of the Eight Immortals celebrating their birthday, and saw this opportunity to present it to his mother."
Then a maid presented the picture. The old lady showed kindness and took the scroll from the maid's hand without opening it. She handed it to the maid behind her and said three times: "Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Seeing this, Li's eyes darkened as he stood at the bottom. Without saying a word, he followed Guo Taan back to his seat.
After the elders have celebrated their birthdays, it’s time for the younger ones.
Seeing that it was his turn soon, Guo Qian was running around anxiously, wondering what to do, what to do, why was this good thing missing?
Ruyi, the personal maid who was following her, had a face full of guilt: "Miss, it's all Ruyi's fault. Ruyi deserves to die. He actually lost the birthday gift that the lady personally prepared for the old lady." Ruyi said as she knelt down with a sigh. She said with a tearful tone: "Miss, please punish me!"
"Oops," Guo Qian rubbed her chubby face a few times irritably and said, "What's the use of punishing you? Can you get back the birthday gift you gave to your grandmother? Okay, okay, get up quickly and think about it. Think about it, where are things most likely to fall? Did you meet anyone on the way here?"
After hearing this, Ruyi hurriedly got up from the ground, thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, miss, on the way to the front yard, the gift box was bumped by a miss. The birthday gift may be there." It fell out of time!”
"Then what are you waiting for? Go find it quickly!" Guo Qian said anxiously.
"Yes, slave, go now!"
Guo Qian wanted to go along with her, but when she turned around, she saw that her second sister Guo Ying had already begun to give gifts. As a last resort, she could only put all her hopes on Ruyi, hoping that she could get her things back soon, while thinking The method can delay it for a while.
At this time, Guo Ying had already sat down at the table, and Mrs. Li looked at Guo Qian, who was still standing by blankly, and gave a look to her confidant maid.
The maid gave Li a gentle nod, then walked to Guo Qian and whispered: "Third Miss, it's time to go and celebrate the old lady's birthday."
When Guo Qian came back to her senses, she saw everyone at the table looking at her. She blushed and stepped forward. She cupped her hands like a birthday boy and said, "My granddaughter Guo Qian pays her birthday to my grandmother. I wish her a happy smile." Stay safe!"
Because her actions were so endearing, Mrs. Guo was amused by her playful appearance and laughed loudly: "Haha, with a girl like you by my side, it's hard for me not to be happy even if I don't want to!"
"It can make grandma happy. It seems that granddaughter is of some use." Guo Qian blinked at Mrs. Guo, and the old lady liked her smart little appearance even more.
"Among the three sisters, you are the one who is the best," the old lady joked with a smile: "Your eldest and second sisters have prepared gifts for me. Third girl, where is your birthday gift?"
Guo Qian smiled at the old lady and said, "Please wait a moment, grandma. Today is my grandma's birthday. My granddaughter is overjoyed and has specially composed a song to entertain everyone."
Because it was a last-minute idea and there was no one to accompany him, Guo Qian could only sing a cappella.
As soon as Guo Qian's voice came out, everyone's expressions were full of surprise. They had always heard the eldest daughter of Guo Mansion's piano music, but they didn't expect the third daughter to be so outstanding. This voice can be called the sound of nature!
After the song ended, everyone was like the lingering sound, unable to come back to their senses for a long time. At this moment, Guo Qian caught a glimpse of Ruyi's figure and saw that she was holding the box where the birthday gift had been placed. She thought she had found the things, and there was a look on her face. He was so happy that he hurriedly waved to her and said: "Ruyi, quickly bring over the birthday gift I gave to my grandmother."
"Miss..." Ruyi looked at Guo Qian hesitantly, the corners of his mouth twitching, but he hesitated to speak. A discerning person would know there was something wrong at a glance.
However, Guo Qian was immersed in the joy of regaining something, and did not notice anything unusual about Ruyi. She was impatient, and when she saw Ruyi's delay, she simply stepped forward, grabbed the box from Ruyi's hand, returned to the old lady, and said, "Grandma, This is a Ruyi pendant specially made by my granddaughter. The pattern inside was designed by my granddaughter herself. Grandma, please take a look and see if you like it?"
"Okay! Then let me see the difference between the three girls' Ruyi Pei." The old lady took the gift box from Guo Qian's hand with a smile, and then opened it.
Her eyes only stayed in the gift box for a moment. The old lady was so frightened that she immediately tightened her eyes and let out a scream of "Ah". She climbed up her legs and spread out on the chair, her mouth wide open and she was breathing heavily.
