The Guhou Mansion, which fell into silence a few years ago, only a few trusted generals of the Gu Jiajun came to worship the New Year during the New Year.
In previous years, the scene of New Year's greetings in Mentingruo City ceased to exist. Those who were afraid of Ning Chengzhi and Yin Shuo dared not come, and Gu Huaijiang, who dared to come, refused to let them come.
"Gu Hou Mansion is now on the cusp of the storm. Your kindness has been led by the Hou Hou, and it is absolutely impossible to be implicated."
Gu Huaijiang didn't complain about himself, but thought about the courtiers everywhere. His loyalty was moving, and it was embarrassing.
Finally, when the Spring Festival came, lanterns were hung up in the mansion as in previous years. Only when Gu Shubai waited for the younger generation to visit Lin'an at night to watch the lanterns, there was a lively atmosphere in the mansion.
"Second brother, when are you going to pick up Ji Yan?"
Seeing that it was getting late, everyone gathered in the West Wing, Yufu asked Gu Jiuge.
Gu Jiuge said: "She said it would be inconvenient to pick her up at Xiangfu, and it would be easier for her to come by herself. Fortunately, she is a member of Xiangfu, even if someone sees her walking to Guhoufu, she will not be implicated."
Yufu nodded, a little anxious, "Ji Yu can't be free in the house, and I don't know if her father and brother will let her go out!"
"Miss, sons, eat some glutinous rice balls before going out!"
Aunt Li, Lianzhu, and Lianbi came up with glutinous rice balls, the warm sweet fragrance spread out in the room, and everyone was eating the dumplings while waiting for Yin Ji to come.
"Wow!"
A white shadow rushed into the inner room sniffing the fragrance, and Gu Hanmo quickly grabbed Bai Ying's tail.
"Ohhhhhh!"
It turned out that it was the white fox sent by the village Zhuangzi. Yufu raised it with Fat Jiu and named it Fat Wu.
Gu Hanmo grabbed its tail, and immediately arched its two front paws pitifully, like a man arching his hands.
Everyone laughed when they saw it. Gu Yi almost squirted out the glutinous rice balls in his mouth, trying to control himself, but still squirted out a sesame seed, which happened to fall on Gu Xiang's cheek.
The two twin brothers fought instantly.
Fat Jiu took a nap and looked around in the doghouse. Without finding his new partner, he moved his round body and spread his four short legs forward.
Hearing the movement of Gu Xiang and Gu Yi fighting, it took a look on the back porch and pounced in.
Said it was a pounce, in fact, its four fat legs couldn't run fast at all. Gu Hanmo heard the call from the other side and put Fat Wu on the ground.
Fat Jiu and Fat Five played in a ball, Bai Ying and Fat Bai Ying tossed up and down, Gu Jiuge suddenly pursed his lips, "Five brothers and six brothers, does this look like the two of you fighting?"
Gu Xiang and Gu Yi stared at the movements of the two of them, only to see Fat Jiu's short claws flicking around, and finally relying on the weight advantage to press Fat Wu under his ass, and Fat Wu screamed.
It turns out that in Gu Jiuge's mind, their skills are so bad
The two were reluctant, until Gu Jiuge admitted that they had said something wrong, and they were willing to give up.
Yufu laughed while eating glutinous rice balls. After eating two of them for a long time, he found that Aunt Li's glutinous rice balls were ingenious, "Big brother, what's your glutinous rice balls filling?"
Gu Shubai said: "Black sesame filling, yours is sweet-scented osmanthus filling, what kind of filling is the second brother?"
Gu Jiuge patronized and played with them, and then went to see the glutinous rice balls in the bowl. He picked up one and took a bite. The sticky white glutinous rice balls showed pink fillings, which looked very delicious.
"Well, it's filled with roses."
Lianbi stood aside and suddenly blushed and bowed her head slightly. Yufu just saw her face and suddenly realized.
"Yufu!"
A familiar voice came from outside the courtyard, and Lianbi immediately picked up the tray on the table, lowered her head and retired from the back porch.
Yin Jizheng walked in happily, with brisk footsteps, and the same posture of sick Xi Shi that was swayed three times before. Everyone in the room was quite shocked.
Yufu was not surprised, and stepped forward to pull her, "You can be counted here, what is so happy?"
Aunt Li served her a bowl of glutinous rice balls, and Yin Jizheng sat down to eat, watching Gu Jiuge's eyebrows slightly.
How long has it been since then, how could she have completely changed her personality...
When she first told her the mystery of her life experience, she still had teary eyes in her mind, and the casual and hearty posture at this moment really smelled like a general.
There was an unspeakable strangeness in his heart. He only listened to Yin Ji while eating and saying: "I wanted to climb the wall and sneak out, and I didn't want to be discovered by my father. He asked me where I was going, and I answered him truthfully. You I don’t know how nervous I was at that time. I think if he doesn’t agree, I’ll ask him why he has repeatedly targeted Guhou’s Mansion and why his Majesty is absurd and doesn’t stop it!"
When Gu Shubai and others heard this, they were quite moved.
Yu Fu hurriedly said: "After all, he is your father, how can you talk to him like this? Besides, I don't think the old prime minister intended to make the court situation like this. At least he helped us persuade Yin Shuo, but he didn't succeed. "
Yin Jizheng smiled and said: "Yes, I used to think that my father and eldest brother are the same, but now they are not the same. My father heard that I was coming to Guhou Mansion, but was silent for a moment, and then ordered someone to set up a car. The horse sent me here and told me to be careful along the way."
Everyone was even more surprised when they heard this.
It seems that the old prime minister and Yin Shuo's father and son are at odds with each other, it has become a fact...
Yin Ji's brows frowned suddenly, "So sour... How can there be kumquat filling in this glutinous rice ball?"
She ate well in front of her, but this one was extremely sour kumquat. When she spit it out, the filling was green.
No wonder it's so sour, it's clearly immature kumquats.
Aunt Li greeted guiltily, "Miss Yin, take a sip of tea and rinse. It's strange, how come there are sour kumquat fillings? I obviously watched them one by one..."
Gu Xiang testified to Aunt Li, "Yes, I have eaten up all this bowl. It is sweet kumquat. How can there be a sour one?"
Yufu looked back at the back porch, looked at the direction Lianbi had left, and couldn't help but smile.
She got up and pulled Yin Jizheng's hand, "Okay, don't think about it, let's go out and watch the lights!" Yin Jizheng smiled and walked side by side with her, but Gu Jiuge fell behind.
His eyes fell on Yin Ji's back, his expression more complicated, and Gu Shubai suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
"In the past, you didn't like Miss Yin, but now Miss Yin doesn't take the initiative to get close to you, do you feel very disappointed instead?"
Gu Jiuge was said to be mind-centered, and he refused to admit it to death, "How come? There are so many women who got close to me. After all of them have gone, I am lost. Isn't the loss endless?"
"Then what are you doing so staring at others?"
Gu Jiuge looked away with a guilty conscience, "I'm just curious, when did she have such a good relationship with Yufu? Big brother doesn't think that every woman who gets close to Yufu can't help being attracted to her and becoming infected with her. Temperament?"
Gu Shubai thought for a while and nodded slightly, "You mean that Miss Yin's temperament is much more cheerful, right? I feel that way too."
"Not only her, but also the princess Xikun. When she first came to Dongling, she endured the humiliation, and she became bolder after she was in the same place with Yu, and she was no longer as forbearing as she was at the beginning."
Gu Shubai thought of Yin Ji's sour glutinous rice balls, and thought that they were not the only ones who became bold after being in the same place with Yufu, but Gu Jiuge didn't know it.
At the beginning of the night, the lights are dimmed, and now is the best time to watch the lights.
Gu Huaijiang ordered Qi Zhou to send them out. Gu Wenqing wanted to stay with him in the mansion, but he sternly refused, "It's rare to go out to play during the Yuan Festival. I will look at the lights in the mansion with Guanjia Qi, and you don't need your juniors to accompany you."
Yufu Road came back and wanted to bring him the newly made snacks from Yushan Building. Everyone quit Gu Huaijiang and went out happily.
Yin Jizheng said as she walked: "Shall we go in a carriage? I don't know how to ride a horse."
Yufu smiled and said: "The tradition in our mansion is to watch the lanterns without riding a carriage or riding a horse. The Long Street is not far from here, and it's just one street away, you see—"
Yufu stretched out his hand and pointed out, his smile suddenly froze on his face.
Everyone looked at her, and saw a group of ritual rods approaching Guhou's Mansion. They were very dazzling and grand, and they were very familiar with the people on the side of the sedan chair.
Isn't that the father-in-law Chi next to Ning Chengzhi
They don't want to know who the person in the sedan is.
The staff of rituals stopped outside the gate of the mansion, Grandpa Chi bent down and opened the car curtain, and Ning Chengzhi strode forward in casual clothes, "I came at the right time. Are you going out to watch the lights? Tonight I will follow you too. The Hou’s tradition is not to take a sedan chair, but to walk to watch the lights."
The atmosphere of joy suddenly fell to the bottom, and the smiles on everyone's faces were suddenly stiff and embarrassed.
