That night, Xie Ruqing and Gu Ruosu talked about a lot of things because of the unrest in the house of Prince Shouguang in Beijing, which was famous. They talked about many things until they could stop when the moonlight was dim on the branches.
Since Gu Ruosu came to this era, she has basically been living according to the schedule of the ancients, but she suddenly fell asleep so late tonight that she couldn't get out of bed at all the next day.
Originally, this was not a big deal. After all, it was already tacitly understood by everyone that Gu Ruosu slept until midnight every day.
But it happened that Hai Pingting, who had lived in the Duke of Yan's residence for a period of time, was getting married today. She had even sent an invitation specially before. Gu Ruosu was not allowed to attend such a thing. In addition, Hai Pingting originally had a relationship with Xie Gu Ruosu was even more unwilling to do anything about Chang Lv, but Hai Pingting's husband was the eldest grandson of Zhang Laohou, the city's xuanhou. Zhang Laohou and Xie Ruqing had been together many years ago. He worked in the Ministry of Punishment and took great care of Xie Ruqing at that time. He could be said to have taught him all his skills and he could be regarded as Xie Ruqing's good teacher and helpful friend.
The Hai family sent a copy of this invitation, and Mr. Zhang also asked someone to send a copy to Xie Ruqing and Gu Ruosu in his name. Therefore, due to emotions and reasons, this wedding, Xie Ruqing and Gu Ruosu Must go.
But with Gu Ruosu's high energy, Xie Ruqing was worried for her.
So, Xie Ruqing thought for a long time and decided to bring Xie Yihua and Gu Shu with her. These two children were relatively stable and they should be able to take good care of Gu Ruosu.
As for why he did not express gratitude, this is not because Xie Ruqing is partial or thinks that Xie Yi is not a useful person. On the contrary, he thinks that Xie Yi is a very talented child. If he is taught well and his temper is restrained in the future, he might try it in the future. Examine female officials.
However, today, as the daughter of the Hai family and Hai Pingting's aunt, Haishi naturally has to go to the Hai family to attend the banquet with gratitude. Not to mention that it goes against the direction of Cheng Xuanhou, even if the two families The direction is the same, but the meaning of thanks is also limited, so naturally it cannot bring the meaning of thanks.

(I am a super cute dividing line)
In the early morning, the swallows are busy, the orioles are lazy, and the flowers are fragrant. In front of the gate of the Duke of Yan's mansion, the leaves and small flowers of the magnolia tree fluttered and fell, stretching gently in the wind. The graceful dancing mother-in-law painted dots on the green grass and green brick floor, and the flowers and leaves made her Leisurely taking advantage of the early summer breeze, he quietly entered the carriage parked under the tree.
This is a good time for the morning water and fresh breeze to blow, and flowers and leaves spread out in all directions against the bead curtain on the carriage. Slowly, he wanted to float into Gu Ruosu's arms, but just like before, he was lifted up by a gust of summer wind.
After Xie Ruqing watched Gu Shu and Xie Yihua get into the carriage at the back, he immediately ordered everyone to set off, and he quickly got into the carriage where Gu Ruosu was.
As soon as Xie Ruqing entered the gorgeous and spacious carriage, she saw Gu Ruosu, wearing an indigo flower-and-bird patterned dress and a sapphire headdress, leaning against the inner wall of the carriage and sleeping.
The flowers and leaves were finally stained on Gu Ruosu's clothes. The flowers and leaves of the magnolia tree clung to her like flying snow and were lightly embellished like jade, adding different patterns to her clothes.
Seeing this scene, Xie Ruqing was reluctant to wake up Gu Ruosu. She quietly sat beside Gu Ruosu and carefully began to clean the flowers and leaves on Gu Ruosu's body. There was no other reason than that Xie Ruqing remembered that Gu Ruosu What bothers me the most is getting flowers and leaves on my body...
Xie Ruqing was very meticulous, and he had to clean every trace of flowers and leaves for Gu Ruosu. However, I don’t know whether it was because Gu Ruosu slept too hard, or because Xie Ruqing’s movements were very gentle. Gu Ruosu slept very soundly along the way. , there was no sign of waking up at all. It was not until the carriage slowly stopped in front of the Cheng Xuanhou Mansion that Xie Ruqing woke Gu Ruosu up.
Although Gu Ruosu was still a little tired, she was in much better spirits after all. So, with Xie Ruqing's support, Gu Ruosu smiled and went in with Xie Ruqing and two flower-like little girls under the leadership of the Zhang family. City Xuanhou Mansion.
Gu Ruosu, Xie Ruqing and others arrived early. Although the wedding banquet was well prepared, it had not started yet.
Therefore, after Xie Ruqing exchanged a few words with Cheng Xuanhou, he asked Cheng Xuanhou to give him a wing to accommodate Gu Ruosu, while he continued to socialize with everyone. As for the remaining two little girls, it was natural for him to let Cheng Xuanhou The girls from Xuanhou's family led them to play around and refused to let them disturb Gu Ruosu.

(I am the dividing line that you are very familiar with~)
"Miss Xie, Miss Gu, this is the first time we meet. I am Zhang Wei. I am Miss Sun, the direct descendant of Chengxuanhou Mansion. I should be two years older than you. If you don't mind, I will call you two younger sisters."
"Today, my brother is getting married. Thank you so much for coming to celebrate."
"Of course I don't mind. It's not too late for us to be happy. Miss Zhang has a reputation for virtue. Yihua and I have heard about it for a long time. It is an honor for Yihua and I to be entertained by Miss Zhang today." Gu Shu said this.
"Miss Gu is really ridiculous. It's just that people outside looked at me a few times because of my grandfather. I still have a lot to learn from my elders in the family."
"It's early summer now. Although my family is small, we have a pond of lotus flowers, all of which were nursed by my grandfather. There are also many carps in the pond. Although they are not precious species, they are worth seeing. , two girls, please come this way."
Although Zhang Wei has an ordinary appearance, he has been well-educated since he was a child and has a good temperament. Every move he makes shows his ladylike demeanor. He is walking in the back garden of Chengxuanhou Mansion with Gu Shu and Xie Yihua, two noble girls. He was also very decent in his words, and he was no less impressive when standing with the beautiful Gu Shu and Xie Yihua.
Zhang Wei brought Gu Shu and Xie Yihua to the huge pond. They only saw five-inch lotus leaves holding delicate lotus flowers. The lotus leaves were densely attached to the water surface. Under the water surface, there were still one after another wandering around. A scene of fish radiating "golden light".
At this moment, the summer wind blows slightly, blowing a pool of clear water, and then blowing ten miles of fragrant lotus. The fragrant lotus is fragrant, and the weeping willows are lingering, which makes many girls standing by the pool admiring the beautiful scenery feel very happy.
Under the leadership of Zhang Wei, Gu Shu and Xie Yihua blended into the group of girls and boys who came to attend the wedding banquet with their elders. The girls and boys chatted, mostly with compliments and auspicious words. , for a while, it was very harmonious.
But at this moment, Qi Lin, the topic of conversation some time ago, his wife Yu Ling, and their second brother Qi Lan suddenly appeared together by the pool. Suddenly, everyone focused their attention on Yu Ling and Qi Lin. , whispering...
This was the first time Xie Yihua saw the rumored first love of Qi Lan, Yu Ling. Therefore, a pair of eyes stared at Yu Ling almost unabashedly, even though Gu Shu secretly pulled her sleeves and Qi Lan's gaze on her could not make Xie Yihua divert his fiery gaze away from Yu Ling...
Although Yu Ling's face is not a beautiful woman in the traditional sense, she is born with a unique charm; she is as beautiful as her aunt, Princess Yu, the crown prince of Shouguang.
Just look at Yu Ling's slightly wrinkled eyebrows, and under the willow eyebrows are a pair of clear pure black eyes. If you look closely at these pure black eyes, it seems that there is often mist, thick and simple. If her eyes are Looking at you almost makes me feel pity for you.
Yu Ling's skin was the same as Qi Lan's. It was a bit sickly pale, and the veins under the skin were almost looming... Coupled with an impressive small and exquisite lotus-pink plump lips and a delicate nose, What makes her face very special and beautiful...
Today, Yu Ling is wearing a moon-white satin dress with golden auspicious cloud patterns. On her black hair, there are two cloud-footed pearl tendrils and a simple but elegant silver magpie bead. Flowers, but on her ears, she suddenly wore a pair of cloisonné and red coral earrings.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence or something, but Xie Yihua also wore such a pair of cloisonné and red coral earrings. Therefore, when Xie Yihua saw such a beauty and such a pair of earrings, he immediately subconsciously wanted to cover them up. pair of earrings.
"Yihua, although this Yu Ling is good-looking, she is much worse than you..." Gu Shu naturally noticed Xie Yihua's movements, and she also guessed Xie Yihua's thoughts in all likelihood. , Therefore, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop Xie Yihua's hand and said this.
"Well..." Xie Yihua touched his face, and suddenly felt confident in his appearance again, but he suddenly remembered the irreplaceable relationship between Yu Ling and Qi Lan, but there was something a little... He was not confident, so he just answered Gu Shu in a low voice.
"Hello, Miss Zhang. It's the first time we meet. I'm Yu Ling~"
After Yu Ling winked at Qi Lin, she walked gracefully to Zhang Wei who was beside Xie Yihua and said with a smile.
Zhang Wei looked at Yu Ling, who was all in white except for the earrings, and frowned slightly... then he saluted Yu Ling and said:
"Hello, Mrs. Qi Sansun. It's the first time we meet. I'm Zhang Wei. Thank you all for coming to support me..."
"No, no, my mother-in-law is not feeling well today, so I brought my husband and second uncle here with me. Miss Zhang, please don't take offense~"
"If possible...it is not the turn of someone with my status to lead the team..." As he said that, Yu Ling's eyes suddenly filled with tears...
"What Mrs. Yu said is really serious... Everyone here is a guest. Mrs. Yu, you and the two young masters of Qi are here to support us. Our Zhang family is already very happy... Naturally, we will not be so petty and care about this... "
Zhang Wei saw Yu Ling pretending to be weak in front of her, and felt a little unhappy in her heart. The education she received since childhood made her dislike the behavior of such a woman. In addition, Yu Ling only cared about her own good looks and did not care about the occasion. In the end, Zhang Wei couldn't help but say something to Yu Ling...
Yu Ling's face suddenly stiffened, but she was thinking in her heart, how could these people be so unkind... She had encountered such a big thing recently, and she didn't know how to comfort her... or to vent her anger...
Yu Ling complained about Zhang Wei's "ruthlessness" in her heart, but she still looked weak and helpless. Then she saw the two beautiful girls beside Zhang Wei, Xie Yihua and Gu Shu.
Because Xie Yihua and Gu Shu were both girls who had just returned to the capital this year, and Yu Ling had been busy preparing for the wedding since this year and rarely went out, so she did not know Xie Yihua and Gu Shu, nor did she know. Their identity is that they are relatives from Qiufeng. In addition, at this moment, there is only jealousy in their hearts that their skins are more beautiful than mine...
So, Yu Ling turned her attention to Xie Yihua and Gu Shu, pretending to be very surprised and said:
"Hey~ Where did these two fairy girls come from? How come they are so beautiful~ They are somewhat similar to the little girl in my family~"
"Oh, look at my mouth, I said the wrong thing~ I should be beaten~ The two sisters shouldn't mind~"
"I'm a quick talker, so I just say whatever I have to say. Looking at the temperament and appearance of the two sisters who have been brought up, I really can't help but say it~"
As soon as Yu Ling finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar. After all, Yu Ling himself was ignorant, but that didn't mean that other girls and young ladies were ignorant. They knew the identities of Gu Shu and Xie Yihua very well.
Yu Ling looked at the reactions in the audience and suddenly felt something bad in her heart. Sure enough, the next moment, she saw Xie Yiehua, who was originally a little envious and "fearful" of her, said:
"Of course we won't mind. After all, my grandfather Yan Guogong and my grandmother Yan Guogong's wife have taught me that I should be generous since I was a child. Even if what Mrs. Yu said today is very inappropriate, we will not argue with you. Careful."
"However, even though I don't care about it, I think Mrs. Yu San should still apologize to us properly. After all, although we are not the best among the ladies in Kyoto, we have been taught by our parents since we were young. What you said really hurt our parents’ hearts.”
Yu Lingtong's face turned blue and white. Looking at Xie Yihua and Gu Shu, the two little girls who had not yet reached the age of hair extensions, he couldn't help but apologize. Then, he glanced at Qi Lan who was silent and said immediately. :
"It was really an unintentional mistake... Why is Miss Xie so concerned with me... Besides... our second uncle is related to your family... we are all relatives... It's just a joke... Why are you so worried about me... "
"Are you right...Second uncle..."
Although Xie Yihua liked Qi Lan in his heart, in front of the Xie family's face, Xie Yihua felt that he would never let Yu Ling go out of consideration for Qi Lan's face, even if Qi Lan was the one who made the mistake today. The same was true for me, so Xie Yihua pursed his lips and said immediately before Qi Lan could speak:
"Mrs. Yu Sanshao, even if we are relatives, you must be careful when speaking. If you are joking, it must be something that both parties find funny. If we don't feel happy, it is wrong. If we are wrong, we should be brave. Just accept your own mistakes."
"Yes, my niece Yihua said it right. Since you have made a mistake, you should admit it in time. How can you go around thinking about using relatives to excuse yourself... What's more, I think, Mr. Qi Lan If you know right from wrong, you will definitely not condone Mrs. Yu Third Young Master."
As soon as Gu Shu's words came out, Yu Ling felt as if she had been greatly wronged. Tears began to flow from the corners of her eyes, and her whole body was crumbling. The person behind her
"Hmph! It's just a trivial matter. You want my wife to apologize to you. What do you mean? Do you think my wife is not worthy to be compared with you? You may not be able to marry someone as good as my wife in the future. Okay! Our Qi family are relatives of the emperor!"
"Right! Second brother!"
After saying that, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Qi Lan. Qi Lan was silent for only a moment, then walked to the middle of the crowd. Regardless of the expectant looks of Yu Ling and his brother, he said:
"Third brother, what you and your third brother and sister said is really wrong... Apologize to Miss Xie and Miss Gu."
"..."
"..."
No one at the scene seemed to have expected that Qi Lan, who was rumored to be very filial and valued brotherhood above all else, and was known to help his relatives but not take care of his relatives, actually chose to help his relatives rather than take care of his relatives today. Therefore, the whole poolside was inexplicably confused. fell into a strange silence...
