Chapter 48: River Lantern Festival
Gu Jinshu's charming voice carries a low-pitched softness to her voice, and her soft brows and eyes make people unable to feel hatred.
Even more panicked, Pei Yuniang lowered her attitude when asking for help, "Look at this little mouth, sister, how can I still be greedy for your hairpin? If that hairpin is really what you said, since you
If you like poetry and books, my sister can teach you personally."
Pei Yuniang's words established the reason for Gu Jinshu's frequent visits in the future, and the reason was not abrupt, but rather reasonable.
Hearing Pei Yuniang's promise, Zhen Xinyu couldn't help but take another look at her. She didn't expect that Yuniang would fall in love with this little girl at first sight.
Listening to her smart words, Gu Jinshu felt relieved. Although Pei Yuniang was a charming girl raised in a boudoir, she was not a stupid person. She must have understood the deep meaning of her words just now.
In this case, she did not continue to test the idea of proposing something, but went straight to the topic: "Then sister does not dare to let go of such an opportunity, sister will have news after a few days."
"Then I'll just wait for the good news about my sister."
Pei Yuniang now feels mixed feelings in her heart. She already knows Xie Shisan's thoughts from Gu Jinshu's words, but how can he pull himself out of this quagmire?
The Xie family has been noble for generations and has gone through several dynasties. It can be said that it is a scholarly family. However, if you fight against the imperial power, isn't it suicidal?
"I have a lot of manuscripts in various calligraphy here. If you like them, take them!"
Pei Yuniang said that she had already sent people to the study to sort out the posts she had copied, and even left Zhen Xinyu to take her to pick them out in person.
After waving back, she was sorting out the calligraphy copies copied by Gu Jinshu, while squinting her eyebrows and whispering: "Will it hurt the Xie family?"
If it were just Xie Shisan and her, then she would choose to confront the imperial power without hesitation, even if the two of them died in the end.
However, things are often cruel. While they enjoy the convenience brought to them by noble families, they also have to pay something.
For example, your own marriage and future.
"Won't."
The reason why Xie Shisan went to save the country and found Pei Jinniang was to avoid dragging the Xie family into trouble.
"he……"
As if he knew what she was going to ask, Gu Jinshu raised his eyelids and glanced gently, and said in a soft voice with some caution, "Went to Lizhou."
"..."
Pei Yuniang's originally peaceful face suddenly changed color, and then she said a little decadently: "I'm afraid my sister won't come back."
When Pei Jinniang married away from Lizhou, Pei Yuniang was still in her infancy. The relationship between sisters was quite weak, so she probably would not have rushed back.
"It all depends on man-made things, doesn't it?"
With Xie Shisan's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to invite Pei Jinniang back, otherwise she wouldn't have become Shen Qingci's right-hand man in her previous life.
"What you need is to buy time."
When Xie Shisan left Lizhou, it can be said that the most scarce thing was time, and this time urgently needed Pei Yuniang to fight for it herself.
"I know."
Lizhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, and if you go there, you may not be able to impress your biological sister, so the time will be delayed again.
When Gu Jinshu and Ye Qingdai left, Pei Yuniang sent them to the door of Chuihua. Ye Qingdai glanced at her suspiciously: "Aren't you usually the best in this poetic and picturesque scene? Why are you so uninterested now?"
She just described the scene of the River Lantern Festival vividly, but she seemed to be like an old monk who had entered meditation, and she didn't show the slightest interest. It was really strange.
"If I have free time that day, I will naturally go there. What the hell are you doing?"
Fortunately today, Duke Pei's mansion couldn't afford to lose face, so they let her go to the Weeping Flower Gate to see off guests. You should know that she usually couldn't even go out of her own courtyard. It can be seen that the Pei family is determined to get her to marry into the East Palace.
.
Zhen Xinyu spread her hands and smiled at her, then said to Gu Jinshu: "You can say that you have returned home with a full load today, I will take you back to Ye Mansion!"
"good."
The stone in Gu Jinshu's heart also relaxed a little, and she felt a lot more relaxed. Her eyes looked at Zhen Xinyu with a soft light.
If it hadn't been for her unintentional help, I probably wouldn't have met Pei Yuniang so easily.
After seeing them off, Pei Yuniang went directly to the courtyard of Mrs. Pei Guogong. Mrs. Guogong was slightly startled when she saw her coming, and then sent the attendants away: "But are you sending people away?"
"yes."
Seeing that there was no joy on her pretty face, the Duke's wife took two steps forward, took her hand and sat on a soft chair on the side: "I know you are unhappy, but now the die is done and we can't do anything to save it.
.”
She is just a housewife, and what she hopes for most is that her children can live a safe and happy life. However, many things are not decided by her.
"Mother, my daughter knows that the matter is a foregone conclusion, but she doesn't want to leave the mansion so early, nor does she want to fight to the death with the orioles in the East Palace without even having a birthday party."
"this……"
The daughter's hairpin ceremony is held in the twelfth lunar month. Judging from the time agreed upon between the mother-in-law and the East Palace, she may not be able to wait until that time.
"Mom, my daughter has already begun to compromise. Can't you even satisfy your daughter's wish? At the last birthday party, my daughter made a wish to make lanterns with Xinyu and put a river lantern on the East Lake. Now the lantern festival has been held
My daughter doesn’t want to break her promise.”
Pei Yuniang's face showed uncontrollable bitterness, and the slight sneer between her eyebrows seemed to have a world-weary mood. After all, the Duke's wife couldn't bear it: "I'm not sure that I will get what you want, but I will help you fight for it.
"
"Mother."
She fluttered into the arms of the Duke's wife like a swallow fluttering into its nest, and her crystal tears fluttered down, as if she had endured countless grievances and finally met someone who knew warmth, warmth, and loss.
Mrs. Pei Guogong caressed her back and sighed slightly. This daughter was the daughter she had risked her life to give birth to, and it filled up the time when her eldest daughter was not around. It can be said that she put all her love for her two daughters.
On the beautiful woman in front of me.
If the mother-in-law hadn't insisted on doing this, why would she have let her daughter follow the same path as her eldest daughter?
Regardless of Dong Gong's intention to marry Yu Niang, the life-and-death love between him and Jin Niang shocked many people, so much so that the man on the dragon throne had to take measures to force him to marry Cai's daughter.
The Crown Princess of the East Palace.
But now that the court has been emptied out step by step, does the person on the throne still have the ability to control the overall situation?
The river lantern festival in Peidu is in full swing. Before the lantern festival started, many people started making exquisite and beautiful river lanterns, and Gu Jinshu and the others were no exception.
On this day, Gu Jinshu had just had breakfast when Zhen Xinyu and Pei Yuniang came hand in hand at Ye Qingdai's greeting. Their happy look made her eyes pause for a moment.
