"Ring, ring, ring..."

Qingguang took the bell vine ball back, shouting "meowed" and walked back and forth in front of Gu Yanfei, shaking in front of her eyes.

"Be good!" Gu Yanfei praised perfunctorily, touched the cat's head and let it play.

Gu Yunzhen simply took the bell ball and threw it out gently. The cat jumped up again and went to chase the ball happily.

Gu Yunzhen squatted on the ground and played with the cat. He quickly continued: "After marriage, my grandfather and my grandmother were in harmony. I didn't expect that shortly after my uncle was born, my grandfather fell seriously ill and almost scared my great-grandfather."

"At that time, great-grandfather was old and covered in old injuries. If his grandfather had gone at that time, with his great-grandfather's body, he would probably not be able to support his uncle's growth, and then the marquis's mansion would be completely declining."

"For my grandfather, I visited doctors, imperial physicians, witches, Taoists, etc., and the fragrance of medicine was wafting in the mansion every day during that time."

"A month later, my grandfather's illness recovered."

Gu Yanfei looked at the rune with a little bit of concentration, and his index finger on his right hand was depicted in the void, and asked absent-mindedly: "What's next?"

"Later," Gu Yunzhen caught the bell ball that Qingguang slapped, shook the ball, and then continued, "Grandfather has always been very healthy... However, his relationship with his grandmother is not as good as before."

"After my grandfather recovered from illness, he took the grandmother and concubine as his concubine not long after..."

As he said that, Gu Yun's expression was a little subtle, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his meaningful voice echoed in his ears:

"Sister, remember your mother's words, friendship is the most useless. Look at your grandmother, even if you have a mediocre relationship with your grandfather, she is still the grandmother of the Marquis's house, and no one can beat her."

Their three rooms are common houses. Since the death of the old marquis, their status in the marquis' mansion has been very awkward. It can be said that they are living in the cracks.

Aunt Sun once specially guided the third wife Yan. Now Yan thought that her daughter was about to get married, so she also told her about the old things about the Marquis’s mansion, just to mention her daughter.

"Sizi..."

Another drop of candle tears flowed down slowly, and the candlelight swayed gently.

Gu Yunzhen's black hair was softly dispersed behind her, and the jade hairpin on her temples reflected a dismal luster in the candlelight.

Her eyelashes drooped, half of her face was hidden in the flickering shadow of the candlelight, and her whole body exuded a quiet atmosphere.

Gu Yunzhen raised his wrist and threw the bell ball in his hand again.

This simple action has the smell of desperate bets, and seems to be venting something.

Gu Yunzhen stood up again, breathed silently, and said, "Fourteen years ago, my grandfather suddenly became seriously ill and was dying in a few days..."

"I heard from the grandmother of the ancestors and concubines that my grandfather seemed to know that he was not long before, so he told them not to hire a doctor anymore."

Her last sentence attracted a little reaction from Gu Yanfei. Gu Yanfei raised his eyes and looked at her. At the same time, the finger of his right hand drew the last stroke in the void.

In an instant, something seemed to fluctuate in the air, and circles of invisible air flow appeared, like layers of ripples appearing on the water surface, fleeting in an instant.

Then, Gu Yanfei slowly put down the talisman in his hand, and his heart was bright.

Sure enough, she guessed correctly.

Gu Yanfei's pupils were dark, clear and bright in the reflection of the candlelight, like a deep ancient well, rippling slightly.

"It's so pitiful." Gu Yanfei sighed softly.

Her voice was very soft, so gentle that Gu Yunzhen couldn't hear it seriously, so Gu Yunzhen asked, "What?"

Gu Yanfei asked back without answering: "Big sister, will you send a dowry tomorrow?"

"I won't marry." Gu Yunzhen said lightly, his tone calm.

Neither hysterical nor righteous indignant, he just smiles on his lips, and is as dignified and virtuous as ever.

Gu Yanfei bent his lips and smiled, saying meaningfully: "...I won't marry."

Gu Yunzhen was infected with her smile and laughed, even though she didn't understand what was hidden in Gu Yanfei's words.

Gu Yanfei raised his hand and brought the talisman paper closer to the candlelight.

The candlelight instantly ignited the talisman paper and greedily swallowed the paper. A trace of black air that seemed to be there or not was hidden in the bright yellow flame.

Gu Yanfei threw the talisman paper into the treasure pot used to burn paper money.

The burning talisman paper slowly fell, the flames swayed, sometimes high and sometimes low, and the moving flames left light and shadows intertwined on her fair little face.

"Ring, ring, ring..."

The bell vine ball was slapped by the cat and rolled around, and the sound of bells came one after another, becoming more and more urgent.

The movement inside was heard by the old woman guarding outside.

The old lady opened the door, walked through the front hall, and rushed over, but saw that the two sisters were not kneeling, but Gu Yanfei was also burning things in the treasure pot, not knowing whether they were burning paper money or keeping warm.

The woman was shocked and shouted in a high voice: "Big girl, second girl, I'm going to punish you to kneel down, not to let you come to the ancestral hall to play!"

"If you don't kneel down, I will tell the lady."

The woman approached the two of them a few more steps and straightened her chest.

The talisman paper in the treasure pot was completely burned to ashes by the flames, leaving only a few spots of fire.

The surroundings became much darker again, and the candle, which was only one inch left, was still burning.

Gu Yanfei yawned lazily, too lazy to tuggle with the old lady, and called out again: "Qingguang."

The sunlight, who was playing with the ball, immediately heard the sound of the Śrāvaka and whispered softly.

It had a great time having fun. The green cat's eyes shone brightly in the candlelight, shining with a charming light, instantly seducing the old man's heart.

"Little cat," the old lady bent down, looked at the three cat cat with a diligent and flattering look, rubbing her hands and asking, "Do you want to roast the fire? I will get you the charcoal fire."

Gu Yanfei threw a purse to the cat, so the cat took the purse and sent it to the old lady, and shook her tail in the direction of the candle.

The woman poured out a dried fish from her purse, and immediately understood it and said consciously: "I will help you roast dried fish."

"It's best to grill dried fish with candlelight."

Taking advantage of this skill, Gu Yanfei directly pulled Gu Yunzhen's hand and walked towards the front hall of the ancestral hall.

Gu Yunzhen was still a little reluctant to leave, and turned around while walking, sighing enviously: "I also want to help Qingguang roast dried fish!"

"There will be a chance." Gu Yanfei casually told her, and then changed the subject, "Big sister, you will follow me to Yuhengyuan to rest tonight."

Gu Yunzhen: "..."

Gu Yunzhen has been taught to be gentle, dignified and obedient since childhood. She was punished to kneel down today but did not. She is no longer used to it. Now she still has to run away, and she feels even more uncomfortable.

Seeing Gu Yun's real thoughts, Gu Yanfei smiled and took her hand forward: "It's okay, let's come here early tomorrow, just hurry before everyone comes."

"No, right." Gu Yunzhen said this, but her body followed Gu Yanfei away honestly.

When he stepped out of the gate of the ancestral hall and stood under the eaves, Gu Yunzhen felt like he was a dream.

She really came out?!

This is the first time Gu Yunzhen has done such an extraordinary thing in his life.

Facing the night wind that was coming, Gu Yunzhen shuddered, but smiled, and felt very comfortable and happy.

It seemed that the breath that had been held in my chest for a long time suddenly became clear, and my eyes suddenly became clear, and my whole body was refreshed.

The two sisters walked east with their hands holding hands. Gu Yunzhen looked at Xingyue in the night sky and said, "Yan Fei, when I told the lady that I was not married, I was actually a little scared."

But, she knew she was not alone.

She knew that even if her mother didn't stand on her side, her second sister would stand on her side.

The silver moonlight poured softly from the night sky, placing a faint halo on their bodies and casting two long shadows on the ground.

Two graceful figures snuggled up to each other.

It feels great to know that there is someone who will stand on her side!

"I like my second sister the most."

Gu Yunzhen leaned on Gu Yanfei's shoulder intimately, and the smile of stars spread out in her eyes.

The girl under the moonlight had a pair of soft water-curved eyebrows, like a wave that cut through the clear water. When she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were graceful and gentle.

Gu Yanfei also smiled, with the same dazzling light blooming in his eyes. In an instant, a stream of light filled with light, and an indescribable joy surged into his heart.

Her elder sister should have been like this, magnificent and elegant, blooming in the cold wind like the bright camellia, rather than having just arrived in the flowering period like in the previous life, but withering early.

ripples rippled in Gu Yanfei's heart, holding Gu Yunzhen's arm, and said with a gaze: "Big sister, don't sleep anymore, let's go drink!"

Ah?! Gu Yunzhen didn't react and went to look at Gu Yanfei with a confused look on his face.

When did they talk about drinking?

"I got a jar of good plum blossom wine a few days ago, which was from Qiongfangzhai." Gu Yanfei was a little playful, proud and show off, "It's still limited edition wine, only twenty jars in total."

"..." Gu Yun was really not good at drinking. She was actually moved by Gu Yanfei's little look that was flying freely like a little fox, and her heart was soft.

Anyway, she is so out of style today, so just out of style.

"Okay!" Gu Yuanzhen nodded with a smile, "Let's go drink!"

The two sisters happily spoke all the way, walking along the way, laughing and laughing, and soon returned to Yuhengyuan.

When the little maids saw Gu Yanfei coming back, they hurried to inform Juan Bi. After a while, Juan Bi came to greet him in a breeze, smiling happily.

There is a warm pavilion in the backyard of Yuhengyuan. According to Gu Yuan, it was rebuilt by his father for his mother when he was alive.

With a command from Gu Yanfei, Juan Bi and other maids took action, burned the stove in the warm pavilion, brought the wind-proof screen and two high-backed chairs, and then brought a small red mud stove and a basket of charcoal and hot wine.

Plum Blossom Wine is not a strong wine, and the taste is very light. Gu Yanfei will not get drunk even if he drinks a jar of wine, but Gu Yun’s alcohol tolerance is obviously a bit short of it.

After three glasses of wine, Gu Yunzhen's fair cheeks were dyed with peach-like blush, as if it was coated with rouge, with rippling eyes, still rippling with rippling water, which was charming and charming.

As soon as she got drunk, she began to recite poems, chanting the poems related to wine one by one, from "a pot of wine among the flowers", to "Haha, hehe" and then to Emperor Taizu's "Ask the sky with wine".

Juan Bi was drowsy, but the person who fell asleep first was the drunk Gu Yunzhen. Gu Yunzhen fell down and fell asleep in a daze on the table.

Gu Yanfei didn't sleep, and his clear eyes seemed to be filled with stars after drinking.
