Another night falls, the moon is often hidden in the clouds, but the stars are shining brightly. Servants often come and go in the Hefeng Hall, some offering wine, some taking food boxes, and some Holding blue and white porcelain dishes, everyone is preparing for tonight's reunion dinner.
"Madam, the kitchen hasn't prepared the meal yet. Isn't it a little early to get to the second room on the right? Why don't you wait any longer?"
"Nothing, nothing, I'm too bored staying in the room, and I feel better watching the delicious food appear in front of me one after another." Gu Ruosu waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care.
"But isn't the Duke of Guo also staying with his wife in the house?"
Hearing this, Gu Ruosu sighed and said, "Where is he staying with me? He is holding a book and reading there without talking. He doesn't pay attention to me when I talk. He also tells me to be obedient and not to disturb him while he is reading. …”
"I might as well go out for a walk..."
The east wind often blows in spring. At this time, inside the high wall of the deep courtyard, the winding and long corridor is filled with lanterns and colorful flags. The flags are hung with bells. Due to the blowing of the east wind, the sky is soft. It swings gently, emitting bursts of pleasant ringtones, and the melodious sound of the guqin faintly comes from nowhere. The two complement each other, which is quite interesting.
"Just sit here and rest for a while."
Gu Ruosu randomly found a place where she could hear the sound of the guqin clearly, and sat on the corridor, leaning on the railing, with a relaxed look on her face, as if she liked the music.
"Madam, do you think the sound of the piano sounds nice?"
"Well...I heard the children cry a lot today, and my ears are buzzing. The sound is nice..."
"If Madam likes it, why don't you ask two musicians to play outside the house at the family banquet later?" Zang Lan suddenly said.
"That's no need. It's just a whim. I'm not a refined scholar. I want to have a meal with the music of the piano."
"This song is pretty good, but it's just too sad. It feels eerie after listening to it for a long time..."
"Zang Lan, do you know who played this?"
While adding a silver fox white fur cloak to Gu Ruosu, Zanglan replied: "They must be some of the Prime Minister's disciples. They all live in Jingxinzhai near us. I heard that they are all people with unappreciated talents. Everyone has their own dissatisfaction.”
"Then my eldest son has a good eye for finding so many knowledgeable people."
"The Prime Minister was born in a poor family, so he understands the difficulties of others best, so he supports many students and has many people under his command. If the Madam is interested, the Prime Minister will hold a meeting on the fifteenth day of every month. What are those advisers? They can also eat, drink, write poems, enjoy the scenery and listen to music, which is quite interesting."
"Are those people good-looking?"
Zanglan was stunned, but still said seriously: "I heard from a few maids in the mansion that she is quite handsome, so she must be pretty good-looking."
"Then I really want to go, but... wouldn't it be good for me, a woman, to attend suddenly... and... it seems that it's not easy to speak..." Gu Ruosu's book lit up after hearing this. But when he thought about the involvement, he felt a little embarrassed, and his eyes dimmed again.
"If mother wants to go, I want my son, so where is the trouble?" A cold male voice came from around the corner.
Gu Ruosu and others looked at it, only to see a man walking over under the dim candlelight: The man had three thousand black hair tied up with a carp ink jade hairpin, and wore a silver hibiscus flowered robe, with five knots around his waist. The colorful thread is tied with a piece of beautiful jade with two heads of unicorn, and a pair of silver satin gray-soled bamboo leaf boots. Mr. Xun Xun is extremely beautiful. He is rich in appearance, well-established, and outstanding, as fresh and clear as a willow tree under the moon in spring.
As the saying goes: "If you go around all your life, the jade trees of Yao rank will look like you, but there are few in the world." This is the case.
"My son wishes his mother well. May she be well."
"My slave, please pay your respects to the Prime Minister."
"Excuse me. This is a wind outlet and is prone to wind. Don't let mother be here next time." After saying that, he took a red fire fox fur cloak from behind and wanted to put it on Gu Ruosu.
"yes."
Gu Ruosu slowly recovered from Xie Haowen's beauty and said, "No, I have a cloak. You can wear it yourself."
"Mom, you have just recovered from a serious illness. It's always good to wear an extra layer. It's windy at night, so you won't get too hot if you wear an extra layer." After that, he put the cloak on Gu Ruosu's body and gave it a nice look. knot.
The festive red color made Gu Ruosu look much better when she wore it.
"I'm actually not cold..."
"Mom, please don't show off. If you show off, you need to take medicine. Even if you think about it, mother is not willing to do it."
"Then... ok..." Gu Ruosu put on her clothes helplessly and sighed in her heart: [Well, there used to be only one kind of cold, and it was your mother who thought you were cold; but now that she is a grandmother, she still There is another kind of coldness, your son thinks you are cold. Although the roles of the two are different, for Gu Ruosu, they have the same purpose, and she does not dare to refute them. ]
"Mom, it's almost time. My son, let's take you to dinner. Today, my son has specially cooked your mother's hometown dishes. You should like it, mother."
"Well, you're interested, let's go."
Gu Ruosu and Xie Haowen are close in age, and although they are both older, they are both well-maintained and have outstanding looks. They look the same as young men and women in their twenties and thirties. The moonlight is hazy, Liu There was a light sound of elms, and two people, one red and one white, walked side by side. The two people's slender shadows gradually intertwined with each other. If someone didn't know better, they might mistakenly think that they were a pair of talented and beautiful people. Not a mother and son.
But such ridiculous ideas often only make people feel jealous, and no one dares to say anything.
One is because of the overwhelming power of the Xie family, no one dares to offend her, the other is because the reputation of Gu Ruosu and Xie Ruqing's love has spread all over the world, and the third is because Xie Haowen is so passionate about his stepmother. When it comes to etiquette, she has never exceeded any rules. On the contrary, she serves her mother with all her heart.
