Chapter 120: Nocturne

Chapter 120 Nocturne
Gu Yu Gu Shiba Niang's heart shook for a moment, and it seemed that fate still followed its trajectory.
However, what she cares about is the fate of her family. As for the others, she doesn't want to change.
The last time the township trial Gu Hai replaced Gu Yu as the case leader, and this time the trial case returned to Gu Yu, is this destiny variable or immutable?
In other words, everything has variables, all depends on good luck?
The firecrackers are no longer known by whom, the government officials who received the news also sent people to congratulate them, and the alleys of Gu's family suddenly became crowded.
Gu Shiba Niang's expression changed, her eyes were a little confused, she stayed out of the excitement.
"Eighteen mother," aware of the difference in her expression, the Cao family stretched out his hand to caress her shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? But tired?"
During this period, my daughter suddenly became busy. Every time she visited Shunhetang, her daughter was working hard, and the various medicinal materials in the backyard piled up like a mountain.
"It's okay," Gu Shiba Niang smiled at her and saw that the third grandma Huang Shiying, who was surrounded by the crowd, had gone to the patriarch's house, and she pushed Cao's family, "Mother, let's go."
A Jie Yuan and a Hui Yuan came out of one door. This is a happy event that Jiankang Mansion has never had before, and it is also a happy event for the entire Gu family. It is indispensable to celebrate.
The banquet was held lively for three days. Almost all the dignitaries of Jiankang City attended. Of course, more of the focus was on Gu Yu. After all, the weight of Huiyuan was much heavier than a Jieyuan. .
The palace exam will not be held until a year later, and compared to the township exam, the palace exam is also a ranking. This kind of ranking will basically not change much, unless there is some serious behavior, then the exam will be in the exam. It is a certainty that the three hundred people in China will be appointed as officials.
This means that the first champion of their Gu family is about to appear.
People in the Gu clan also deliberately asked everyone to focus on Gu Yu, so the Cao clan and Gu Shiba Niang, who were the mothers and sisters of the 150th Jinshi, seemed to be left out a lot.
Gu Shiba-niang didn't care about this. She didn't have time to participate, and she didn't want Cao to participate. Gu Hai was not at home, and their mother and daughter closed the door and invited everyone from Shunhetang and the servants at home. Homes, have a happy celebration.
When the night was dark, the little garden was still lively, and several maids could not hide their excitement and chatted around the Cao family.
"I don't know if the young master will come back?" They served Cao very thoughtfully by serving dishes, pouring wine, and holding fruit.
Because the little servants who reported the news came back directly from the list, and knew nothing other than the rankings.
"I am definitely coming back for the New Year." Gu Shiba Niang smiled.
"Young Master will be able to get married when he comes back for the New Year this time."
"It's not that the small one after the big one..."
Miaoling's maids talked and laughed together, the Cao family was kind, and Gu Shiba Niang didn't stick to the trivialities, and had only loyal and sensitive requirements for them, so everyone was casual and casual.
"If the young master gets married during the Chinese New Year, then the wife will be able to hold his grandson next year..." The servant women followed suit.
With tears flashing in Cao's smiling eyes, is it easy to get a Jinshi? It's not easy. Don't watch Gu Hai go through this big exam smoothly. Try to see how many students return without success. There are more gray-haired heads among the reference people, and there is no hope for the whole life.
For example, her husband, Gu Leyun, has exhausted his blood in this big exam.
And Gu Hai is less than seventeen years old this year...
Cao's tears finally fell, "Okay, okay..." She reached out her hand to wipe the tears and responded casually.
"Madam, this is a happy thing." The servant women hurriedly smiled and persuaded, and the clever little maid poured the wine up again.
Cao originally didn't drink alcohol, but today she took it with her hand and took a sip. She looked up and saw the opposite daughter facing the two servants and the maid telling something.
In the light of the lights, her daughter's face was cold and clear, the joy between her brows did not add much smile to her eyes, and her expression was as waveless as a dry well.
Cao’s tears burst out like a spring. All of this was brought by her daughter. The reason why her daughter was able to bring all this was to climb out of the Yan Luo Temple...
"Eighteen mother..." Cao put down the wine glass, walked over to hug his daughter and cried.
Gu Shiba Niang was instructing the little servant and maid to go to the capital to do something, but she was suddenly hugged by Cao and cried, shocked.
"My son, you are so bitter, and my mother hurts..." Cao cried holding her.
Is it bitter? It seems that there is no such suffering anymore. At least unlike when she was born again, it was because she was confused and didn’t know what her future would be like. Now she has a firm will and a clear goal. Although life is not satisfactory, it is still there. In her grasp, coupled with Liu Gong's matter, she has too many things to consider, but at night she falls asleep without dreaming until dawn.
"Mother." Gu Shiba Niang laughed, and stretched out her hand to caress Cao's back, "I'm fine, I'm really fine."
While looking at the panicked servant woman on the opposite side, she asked how many glasses of wine she had eaten with her eyes.
The servant woman looked down and stretched out a palm.
Gu Shiba-niang smiled even more. Cao's family had never drunk. He had eaten five cups without knowing it, but it was not drunk.
"...You want to marry a good family, marry a good family..." Cao's choked mutter.
"Okay, I must marry a good family, my in-laws love me, and my husband respects me..." Gu Shiba Niang followed her with a smile, and motioned to the servants to come forward and help the Cao family, "Mother, you go and rest. If I have enough energy to pick a good wife for my brother, how can I marry if my brother does not marry?"
Cao responded with tears and was helped by the servant's wife.
Most of the servant-wives who had left with Cao, the banquet in the small garden was suddenly deserted. It was near Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight was cold, and Qiu Chong whispered.
A maid took the cloak to Gu Shiba Niang.
"Did you write down what I said?" She recovered and looked at the little servant girl in front of her.
"Take it down, miss." The four agreed in unison.
"Then you go, and leave tomorrow morning." Gu Shiba Niang said.
The four people retreated.
The small garden filled with flowers and trees instantly became deserted. The night wind blew through and brought cold dew. The little girl couldn't help shivering, but looking at Gu Shiba Niang who was sitting quietly at the table and drinking slowly, there was nothing. One dare to come forward and persuade.
This young lady in my own family has always said that she does what she does.
Gu Shiba-niang drank a glass of wine and called for a xun. The low and long music in the cool moonlight curled up. Almost at the same time, there was also music outside the wall of the heavy courtyard, but not the xun, but A strange musical sound.
Gu Shiba Niang had never touched these musical instruments in her previous life, and she knew it was nothing more than Qin, Zhengxiao and the like. Hearing this sound was like a flute but it was different.
However, making peace with Xun is extremely beautiful.
At the end of the song, Gu Shiba Niang smiled on her face and raised her hand to greet the quiet servant girl.
"Go, please come in for a drink."
The maid’s face was a little puzzled, but she went away. Only after Gu Shiba-niang ordered the maid to change hot dishes and new wine, she saw the maid leading a young man in a light blue silk shirt to stride. It was Xin Chaoyang behind him. The two charming maids hugged Qin and Xiao followed closely.
"Eighteen ladies are overjoyed." He stretched out his hand to thank him, and a deep purple flute in his hand caught the eye.
"Young Master, this joyful way of true elegance." Gu Shiba Niang endured her humor.
"It's vulgar and elegant." Xin Chaoyang smiled, and sat down generously, "but the little lady can rest assured that the vulgar gifts of real gold and silver have been given as many as possible."
Gu Shiba Niang laughed, and motioned to the little maid to pour the wine, Xin Chaoyang was not polite, she took her wine glass and drank it.
The little maid poured it again, Xin Chaoyang picked up the wine glass and looked at Gu Shiba-niang.
"Excuse me not to accompany me, I have eaten a few cups, and I will get drunk after eating it." Gu Shiba Niang said with a smile.
...Under the sway of the lantern, a faint blush appeared on the girl's face, and a faint gleam in her eyes that she had never seen before.
Since seeing her, the impression that this little lady left him has always been calm and unwavering, Xin Chaoyang couldn't help being a little curious, if this little lady is drunk, will she reveal her unknown authenticity?
But presumably this opportunity is not easy to come by, Xin Chaoyang smiled and drank it by himself.
"Is it the flute just now?" Gu Shiba Niang held her chin and looked at the instrument he put on the table that was shorter than the flute.
Xin Chaoyang picked it up and showed it to her.
"It's like a xun like a chime, the heaven is a man." He smiled.
Suddenly, Gu Shiba-niang couldn't help but stretched out her hand to take it, and carefully examined it before her eyes, "This is what I said originally."
"It's rare for the people to see it, and it is always stored in the palace." Xin Chaoyang said.
Gu Shiba Niang smiled, "So, the young master is a real person."
Xin Chaoyang smiled without answering, and reached out to take it, "Today's good day, the eighteenth lady is having a happy event again, Chaoyang is showing her ugliness."
After speaking, the sound came from the lips, and the maid behind him was already sitting on the spot, playing the piano to tune Xiao Xianghe, which was more graceful than the first xun sound.
The moonlight is like practice, the phoenix bamboo is swaying, the lotus lamp is like a shadow, the youth is elegant, the maid is delicate, the tone and color are pleasant to the ear, this scene is like in a painting.
The maid standing by the side and pouring wine heard the sound in her ears~EbookFREE.me~ Seeing people in her eyes, she was stunned for a while, and she didn't even know that the flask in her hand was tilted.
At the end of the song, there was silence in the field.
Xin Chaoyang looked up and saw that Gu Shiba Niang who was opposite was still holding her chin, her eyes were slightly closed, her face was as cold as a moon, but a line of tears were falling down her cheeks.
"My Gu Shiba Niang never dreamed that she would live such a life..." she murmured, her voice inaudible.
She seemed to see that under the moonlight, she used to be humbled like a mouse, panicked, and looked up at everyone around her, trembling and cautious, lest she would look wrong in one sentence and cause her eyes to cast aside.
Never thought that there would be such a day when so many people were respectful and cautious when facing themselves, never thought that one day, the famous smiling Lang Jun would be so elegant for her.
What is all this for?
She suddenly slapped the table, hiding her face and laughing, but the laughter revealed a deep sorrow
