Litchi spring warm Xijiang

In-laws.It's very lively in the house today! "

"In-laws... people from An Guogong's mansion?"

"That's right. This marriage is a sure thing. I heard that the only thing missing is the imperial decree."

Wan Liang nodded, thanked the little maid, and left slowly.

Walking in the corridor, the festive atmosphere is overwhelming.The five-edged lanterns hanging on the corners of the pavilions are shining with golden light, which complements the golden waves of the pond in the setting sun, creating a scorching brilliance.The maidservants and mothers who came and went in a hurry were dressed in red and green, and their rouged faces were full of joy.

Looking at the extremely bustling Gu Mansion, Wan Liang felt a long silence in her heart.In any case, she has decided to take today as a memorial.Now, with the festive clothes and Yaohuang's festive arrangements, no matter who it is for, she will feel very good, and she will be very happy in a strange way.

Wan Liang walked back to the Nuan Pavilion.She stared at the fancy dress on the table, not knowing what she was thinking.She shook off the complicated dress and put it on for herself meticulously.The brocade-faced beige is slippery and cold, but its color is scorching red, and the bergamot patterns are colorful and flowing, intertwined and blooming.

Wanliang usually doesn't like wearing makeup, but today is different, today should be festive.

Dab the hosta powder lightly, apply the peach blossom powder to the face, a little plum falls on the forehead, sweep the snail lightly, and the eyebrows form double swallows.

Wan Liang looked at the makeup of the person in the mirror with a cold and indifferent expression.She couldn't tell what kind of mood she was in, she was happy, but sad enough that her heart turned cold.

Wanliang dragged the dowry on the table to her, picked out a set of hairpins made of lotus flowers, and put them on the crow-feather-like bun.Flipping through it casually, a delicate sandalwood box appeared in front of my eyes.Wanliang unscrewed the concealed button, and a piece of clear crane pendant stood out strikingly.Wan Liang stared deeply at the pendant for a while, then gently took it out and let it hang around her neck.

The makeup and clothes are all done, and the sky has already darkened.Wanliang pushed open the door of the warm pavilion and walked towards the banquet hall.

There is a lot of cars and horses, and there is a lot of voices.Looking up, the dusk is heavy and the sky is wide, the lights are shining brightly, the golden wind is blowing, the light and shadow are intricate and mottled.Looking at the boundless brocade of prosperity, Wan Liang felt lonely and dizzy.

"Miss Wanliang," Xia Shen stood in front of Wanliang and said with a smile, "Today is so radiant that Xia Shen couldn't even recognize her."

Hearing the sound, Wanliang raised her head, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Master Gu thinks highly of Wanliang, and asked me to play and sing tonight, how can Wanliang slack off?"

Xia Shen chuckled and said, "I haven't seen the girl come to play with the young lady for a long time."

Wanliang pondered for a while, then replied in a low voice: "Zezhi is getting married, I can't pester her every day."

Xia Shen blinked and looked at her puzzled.Wanliang faltered, found an excuse, and hurriedly turned and left.Holding the hem of her skirt, she ran to the back door of the banquet hall without stopping, fearing that someone else would come to question her again.She stopped, gasping for breath, raised her hand to touch her cheek, thankful that the autumn night was cool and her makeup didn't get wet.

"Miss Wanliang?" A girl dressed as a maiko called softly, "Hurry up and take it easy, the banquet is already underway."

"Hey, you girl!" An older woman beside her interrupted her with a smile, and then said to Wanliang, "Don't worry, girl, you came later. This is the girl's pipa, right? A maid sent it just now."

Wanliang breathed a sigh of relief, took the pipa, and thanked the two with a nod.She found a secluded place and sat down, fiddled with the pipa casually.

Be festive, cheerful.Wan Liang smiled wryly and frowned, but her hands never stopped.Everyone sitting around looked at her.

"Sister," a young dancer ran up to Wanliang, raised her head and asked her, "What's the name of this song?"

"'Flower Catch'." Wan Liang smiled at her.This was a song she had heard a long time ago, when she was still young, but surprisingly, she remembered it firmly.

"Is there any lyrics?"

"No words," Wan looked at her with a sneer, "the rhythm is too fast, it's hard to fill in the words."

She practiced over and over again, and soon it was time.

"Sister Wanliang, it's your turn!" the maiko who had just returned from serving the banquet said hurriedly.

Wan Liang nodded, carefully arranging the flowers and the hem of the skirt.

Seeing her walk in, Gu Zezhi was a little dazed for a while.The celestial being in front of him is fluttering like a phoenix bathing in fire, and even his makeup is drunk and full of beauty.She just stood there quietly, her cheeks flushed, like a bride to be married.

Wanliang saw Gu Zezhi almost the moment she walked in the door.Why doesn't she wear red?Wanliang felt a disappointment that even she herself thought was ridiculous.

Her eyes did not stay on Gu Zezhi, but turned to look at Getai.She sat down on the hollow carved low stool and picked up the pipa.

Gu Zezhi, this piece is very festive, I don't play it for others, I only play it for the two of us.She spoke silently in her heart.

The rotating shaft plucks the strings, and the pearls and jades are full of disks.In the crisp and bright sound of the pipa, there are the whispers of that person, the smiling face of that person illuminated by the fox lamp, and the shining night under the fireworks.

Gu Zezhi looked at her, his eyes were like a bottomless pool of water, and only the figure in flames on the stage was reflected.That figure said to her three days ago: I like you.After that, there were only these four words left in her mind.

At the end of the song, there was endless praise in the banquet hall.

"Master Gu, you are very capable. Who would have thought that Miss Wanliang's playing and singing are hard to come by, and you can actually invite people to your home!" An Guogong said with a smile.

"Hahahaha, my lord is just joking. Your lord came to the banquet, and the humble house is full of splendor, how can you neglect your distinguished guests?" Gu Huairen's face was faintly smug.

"That's wrong," An Guogong said with a smile, "Our Ye Gu family will be in-laws in the future, so why should we divide them?"

After saying this, all the guests present laughed and rushed to have a drink with Gu Huairen.

Wan Liang felt a little uncomfortable.She sat on the singing platform expressionlessly, holding a heavy pipa in her hand.

After Gu Zezhi heard what the man said, she immediately raised her eyes and looked at Wan Liang who was sitting stupidly on the stage.She frowned, put down the dishes, and wanted to go forward and drag Wan Liang down.At this time, a drunken voice sounded: "Why is Miss Wanliang sitting there alone? Come on, let us have a few more drinks with this famous flower."

As soon as the frivolous words came out, everyone laughed ambiguously.

Gu Zezhi narrowed his eyes and glanced at the man, then went up to the stage to grab Wan Liang's hand.Looking at Gu Zezhi, Wan Liang felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart, but she was unexpectedly not embarrassed.She shook her head towards Gu Zezhi, and said, "Don't be like this, Zezhi. Don't make Master Gu unhappy, I can handle it."

After saying that, she vigorously broke away from Gu Zezhi's hand, and walked towards the group of people with a smile.She bent down and saluted, and said softly: "Wanliang has always been too strong to drink, I hope you will forgive me."

"Hey," the man narrowed his eyes with a smile, and looked at Wanliang's attractive peach blossom makeup, "Miss Wanliang looks down on me, Ye Weihua? .”

"Yes." Wanliang had no choice but to agree, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

The wine poured into his throat, and the red lips were stained with a thin layer of water. The man was fascinated by it, so he lightly raised his arm and slowly placed it on Wanliang's waist.Wanliang immediately dodged to the side, dodging the shackles without a trace.But Ye Weihua refused to let go, and pulled Wanliang over to wrap her in her arms, resting her chin on the side of her neck.

Gu Zezhi saw it, stood up abruptly, and walked quickly to Wanliang.

"Yo, sister-in-law is here," the man said with a chuckle, "what does sister-in-law want me to do?"

"I think you want to die." Gu Zezhi almost gritted these words between his teeth.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? She's about to get married, so it's not okay to be so young." Ye Weihua thought that Gu Zezhi was annoyed at him for molesting Wanliang in full view, so she joked.

"Zezhi, why are you talking to the third younger brother like that?" Ye Weiting frowned when she saw that she was rude to the younger brother, and accused her in a deep voice.

Gu Zezhi ignored him, and only wanted to get Wanliang out first, and then deal with Ye Weihua by herself.

"Don't leave in a hurry, Miss Wanliang," Ye Weihua stopped them, and said with a smile, "There are such famous flowers in the world, why don't you allow me to appreciate them?"

"Of course not," Gu Zezhi sneered, "What kind of tricks can a beast's eyes see?"

"Gu Zezhi!" Ye Weiting yelled sharply, "try saying something again!"

"What kind of majesty are you playing around here!" Gu Zezhi tore off the brocade cloth on the wooden table, and the vegetable soup was dripping with juice all over the long skirts of the two brothers of the Ye family, avoiding it.The two were stunned immediately.

"Zezhi, it's done." Wan Liang gently grabbed Gu Zezhi's sleeve.

"If you're winking, go back to An Guo Gong's mansion by yourself, it's not good to be kicked out." Gu Zezhi didn't want to embarrass Wanliang here, so he planned to drive him away first.

"Kicked out?" Ye Weihua laughed angrily, "You, Gu Zezhi, don't forget that you are going to marry into An Guogong's mansion in the future!"

Gu Zezhi hooked the corners of her lips contemptuously, apparently not wanting to bother about her own affairs.

"You and Miss Wanliang have such a good relationship," Ye Weihua smiled ambiguously and viciously, "Then why don't you let elder brother marry the two of you together, so that you don't have to separate."

Gu Zezhi grabbed his neckline, narrowed his eyes, and said in a thin but powerful voice, "Say it again."

Ye Weihua tried her best to break away from her hand, but she couldn't shake it at all.Gu Zezhi had a hobby of carving jade since childhood, so the strength of his hands should not be underestimated.

"It's really jealous," Ye Weihua gave up struggling, and smiled, "So,
