It was bright and it was halfway through Si, and there was no movement in the room.

Xia Heqiuchan and her two maids have long been used to it. The girls rarely get up early, and they often wake up when the fragrance of food comes.

But Zheng Lin was not used to it. He suspiciously stumbled his head to test the crack in the door, but unfortunately he couldn't see any of it clearly.

He rubbed the back of his head, quite puzzled. The young master did not have the situation that he had not yet gotten up at this time.

However, after thinking about the reason again, Zheng Lin couldn't help but blush half his face.

In the room, the sunlight passed through the bed curtain, and a warm color hanged down. Zhou Yuan leaned his face to the man's chest, half of it was light and half of it was shadow.

The little girl looked like an octopus, her hands and feet resting on Gu Weiliang, her eyes closed tightly, her eyelashes were not moving, and she was sleeping so hard that she showed no sign of waking up.

Gu Weiliang woke up early. In order not to wake her up, she had just lie down for a long time. But seeing that the girl was sleeping more and more soundly, she finally couldn't help but move for a while and wanted to slowly put her hands and feet down.

But Zhou Yuan was sleeping in this position and hummed twice in dissatisfaction, and his hands on the man's waist tightened even tighter.

Gu Weiliang had no choice but to not touch her, bent her lips with a laugh, and whispered: "Didn't it mean that he would go back to the Zhou family today and wouldn't be able to get back to pay it back, but he wanted the teacher and his wife to wait for a long time?"

"Um..." Zhou Yuan responded perfunctorily.

Gu Weiliang turned his head and kissed her: "Yuan'er?"

Zhou Yuan felt that he was noisy in a daze. A small and soft hand came over from the bedding, and he touched his mouth and couldn't help frowning his brows.

Gu Weiliang couldn't help but want to laugh, and he was quite angry. He deliberately kissed the girl's lips one by one, and opened Zhou Yuan's eyes impatiently. After reacting for a while, he rubbed his eyes and woke up a little.

Her voice was filled with the hoarseness of her first awakening in the morning: “When will it be?”

Gu Weiliang plucked her ears: "It's half way through Si, it will be delayed if you don't get out of bed."

Zhou Yuan sighed reluctantly, and climbed onto Gu Weiliang like a little sable, and lay his whole body in front of him: "Get up."

Gu Weiliang helped her sit up. Even so, Zhou Yuan was sleeping happily on his shoulder. He really didn't even plan to move his hair.

But when the man got up, the little girl subconsciously surrounded his waist.

Gu Weiliang carried her to the small table, poured a glass of water and fed her slowly, and called the maid waiting outside to serve her.

As the days went by, Zhou Yuan did not avoid taboos in front of the maid. He clearly heard Gu Weiliang call someone in, and he did not have the consciousness to go there.

Qiu Chan and Xia He glanced at them, and their ears were red and their heads lowered.

But Zhou Yuan was lying down, Qiu Chan wrung the handkerchief but couldn't start, and said at a loss: "Girl, I will wipe your face."

Gu Weiliang paused for a moment, took the wet veil and said, "I'll do it."

Qiu Chan stopped talking, stepped aside, and even turned around with tactful thoughts.

Just when Lord Gu heard the girl's voice very softly coaxing her to look up, Qiu Chan couldn't help but blush, while Xia He opened her eyes wide and raised her ears and lowered her head to smile.

After Gu Weiliang took care of her to wash, he placed the person on the stool in front of the dressing table. Zhou Yuan was almost awake now and he squeezed a few pearls from the dressing box and put them in his hand to play.

Xia Heqiuchan served on the left and right and tied a simple and decent bun. Because she was back home, she couldn't dress up too grandly, so she only picked up a few jewelry that girls would use on weekdays.

The Zhou family is very lively today. The married girls all returned to their mansion and took advantage of the excuse of the Dragon Boat Festival to gather together.

Because Zhou Yuan was really slow, when the two arrived at the Zhou family, the other sisters were already sitting in front of the hall listening to Liu's speech lively. Even Aunt Yun, who had always been unwilling to go out, sat on the side with a smile.

Zhou Chenglu was authentically sipping old white tea. He raised his head the moment Gu Weiliang entered the door. Seeing Gu Weiliang looking at him, he put down the teacup and said, "Sit down."

A special seat was reserved for Gu Weiliang and his wife in front of the hall, and it was the two closest to the main seat. Because Zhou Yuan was the youngest, she was already very popular, so the best position was always reserved for her.

She leaned over to Liu and said a lot of beautiful words, which made Liu smile so hard that Liu's eyebrows were bent, and she pointed at her eyebrows: "You will fool me."

Zhou Yuan returned to Gu Weiliang with a smile, gave Qiu Chan and Xia He a wink. The two maids immediately presented all the things in their hands.

Zhou Yuan said like a treasure: "Mom likes red coral beads the most, and the rock tea that her father likes."

Zhou Qin glanced at him, probably knowing Zhou Yuan’s intentions, and helped her with a smile: “When did you, such a fool, have you been so thoughtful? Is it all prepared by Lord Gu?”

Liu took the sandalwood box containing red coral beads and took a look. She had no special hobbies on weekdays, so she collected all kinds of coral jewelry. The beads were transparent in color and extremely smooth on the outside. They were definitely the best.

Liu nodded slightly and coughed lightly at Zhou Chenglu. Zhou Chenglu looked up at Gu Weiliang with awkward expression, "I'm sorry, I don't have to bring anything to you when I come back in the future. They are all their own family members, so you can't be polite."

There was a slight silence in front of the hall, and Gu Weiliang's expression moved slightly. A rare trace of emotion was revealed on his calm and reserved face. The corners of his lips were slightly bent, and his voice trembled: "Okay."

The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and Zhou Chenglu took his eyes away first. He breathed a sigh of relief without even figuring out. He looked at the young girl who showed two small dimples beside Gu Weiliang, and his mind calmed down.

——

After lunch, Zhou Yuan and Zhou Qin lay on the carved wooden railing under the corridor to see a very spacious square stone table in the yard, which was laid with white paper on weekdays, which was for Zhou Chenglu to practice calligraphy.

At this moment, Gu Weiliang and Zhou Chenglu stood opposite each other across the stone table, holding pens and painting inscriptions on paper. Without a word, they were rarely at ease.

The other two sons-in-law looked at each side, and from time to time, a sigh of praise overflowed.

Zhou Yuan had a faint smile on his lips, and Zhou Qin turned her head and smiled at her: "Actually, among the three sons-in-law, my father likes Lord Gu the most, but he just held him and refused to say anything."

Zhou Yuan nodded repeatedly: "Second sister, I feel so happy."

As she said, she drilled into Zhou Qin's arms and rubbed the bun that Qiu Chan had combed for her.

Zhou Qin was also happy when she looked at it. While using her hands to sort out Zhou Yuan's hair bun, she said, "Everything is good now. The relationship between parents and Gu Weiliang is still being restored. He treats you very well, so you will have another child."

Zhou Qin was a little worried. Zhou Yuan's child was spoiled by his family before getting married. After getting married, Gu Weiliang also indulged her, afraid that she would be too comfortable and did not know how to plan for her future.

Although it seems that Gu Weiliang has no intention of taking a concubine, the man has never been able to write to him. Even if Zhou Qin holds the yard of the Earl's Mansion, his face looks calm, but how many maids have other thoughts.

She married only the legitimate son of an Earl's Mansion, not the eldest son who inherited the title. Many people have made up their minds. Although Xie Shan was in love with her, he was also attracted to the woman next to her, which was common.

A man’s love can be distributed to many people.

Zhou Qin pursed her lips, but she didn't want to tell Zhou Yuan to know too many bad things. She only mentioned a few words to ask her to take good care of her body and prepare for pregnancy, and she didn't say much else.

Zhou Yuan nodded and replied, feeling embarrassed to say that she had already intentionally maintained her body.

Since Gu Weiliang said that when he was in the rejuvenation hunting, Zhou Yuan began to think of this from time to time, and asked Mother Wu to find some prescriptions for pregnancy preparation.

The two sisters were talking about boudoir affairs, and Zhou Jiangjiang came over with a plate of mint cake.

She held a plain silk handkerchief in her palm and placed the pastry on the bench: "Try both the second sister and the fifth sister. The mint cake is better to relieve heat, and it is best to eat it at this time."

Mint cake is Aunt Yun’s best cake. In previous years, when the sisters were still at home, Aunt Yun also sent pastries to her room in spring and summer.

Zhou Jiangjiang looked into the yard, glanced at the high sleeves standing beside Zhou Chenglu, and couldn't help but pursed his lips.

He was also from the imperial examination after all, and he should be quite good at painting and inscriptions. However, this great opportunity allowed her to perform more in front of her father, but he only knew that he was on the side.

Zhou Jiangjiang had a headache and had no eyes, so he had to withdraw his gaze.

The three sisters sat in the corridor in a row, using the pastries made by Aunt Yun, which was quite comfortable.

But Zhou Jiangjiang suddenly mentioned Shen Yan and asked curiously: "Will sister Shen Yan not go back to her house today? But someone who went to the Lu family would only say "her?"

After the words finished, the cheerful atmosphere was stagnant.

It’s not because of how old she had to celebrate with Shen Yan. It’s just that since the Lu family took her concubine, Shen Yan seemed to have become a different person, becoming sarcastic and mean, and even looked down on other people’s concubines. Occasionally, she offended some people when she went to a banquet.

However, since it is the Dragon Boat Festival, the family banquet held by the Zhou family will naturally not be left behind by Shen Yan.

Zhou Qin patted the pastry residue in her palm, then lit the corner of her mouth with a veil, and said, "I sent someone early to send the post. Maybe something was delayed."

As he was saying this, Shen Yan brought Lu Jiaran to the opposite path, wearing a peach-red coat and gold-jewelled jade bracelet. She did not look harsh, but was very noble.

Only Zhou Jiangjiang was in the whole family, so after Shen Yan brought Lu Jiaran to greet Zhou Chenglu, she went straight to the corridor and held Zhou Jiangjiang's arm intimately.

"Sister Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Zhou Jiangjiang smiled and thought, and pulled Shen Yan to sit down: "I just asked you about your second sister and fifth sister. You are here now, it's a coincidence."

This was just a greeting, but Shen Yan had somehow froze all over, and the corners of her mouth that had just raised her suddenly froze: "What are you talking about me? Sister Erqin and Sister Yuan'er were talking about something bad when I was away?"

Zhou Qin frowned: "What are the bad things about our sisters saying? Don't throw dirty water on us as soon as you come."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhou Jiangjiang also used Tai Chi and pulled Shen Yan's sleeve: "Yes, we just asked you why you haven't come yet, lunch time has passed."

Shen Yan tightened the silk handkerchief in her hand, and knew that she was too extreme, so she calmed down before she sat down.

But when Chen Yan came, the atmosphere was not as relaxed as before. Zhou Yuan leaned against Zhou Qin and refused to speak. Zhou Jiangjiang tactfully pulled Chen Yan to his yard to speak. This was the best.

Zhou Qin sighed: "See, since she got into a concubine in the yard, she has been in trouble all day long. She always feels that outsiders are poking her back and making fun of her."

Speaking of which, it is not a big deal for the Lu family to take a concubine. The big one is that the concubine was taken less than three months after Shen Yan got married. The one who took the cousin of Lu Jiaran was very popular with Mrs. Lu. This story spread to ten thousand times, and Chen Yan became a joke.

Zhou Yuan bit his lips and tumbling his cheeks, but Lu Jiaran was not good either. At the beginning, he insisted on marrying Chen Yan, looking like he was dying of love. It was less than three months after his marriage, and his newness passed.

Zhou Yuan looked into the yard, blinked his almond eyes twice, and his eyes fell on Gu Weiliang like autumn water.

The man sat straight beside the stone bench with his back, holding a wolf's hair in his hand, with distinct joints, and his whole body looked elegant and cold. Zhou Yuan became more and more happy as he looked at it, so it would be better for him.

With the last stroke, Gu Weiliang rolled up his sleeves and put the wolf hair on the mountain-shaped pen holder, as if he noticed the gaze behind him, and he looked at Zhou Yuan sideways.

As if he felt that Zhou Yuanxian was bored, he waved to her to come.

Zhou Yuan received his gesture and ran over with the hem of the skirt. Just as Zhou Chenglu finished his pen, Zhou Yuan had no time to smile at Gu Weiliang, but Zhou Chenglu asked, "Which of these two paintings is better?"

The little girl's pair of beautiful divortexes suddenly froze, looked down at Zhou Chenglu's painting, and then looked at Gu Weiliang's painting, with a slightly solemn expression.
