  Chapter 94 Double Ninth Festival

  Xin You returned to Shaoqing's Mansion and welcomed a sumptuous dinner.

   "Qingqing, grandma has lost weight seeing you. Are you too tired these days?"

   "Let my grandmother worry about it. I'm not tired, and I just need to tell you what to do."

   "That's good. This maw stewed chicken is good, you should eat more." The old lady looked at her granddaughter lovingly.

   "Thank you, grandma." Xin You lowered her eyes and took a sip of the chicken soup, and glanced at Duan Shaoqing who was also drinking chicken soup from the corner of her eye.

  If not everyone at the table ate it, she would have suspected that the chicken soup was poisonous. But now, it can only be classified as being courteous for nothing, **** or steal.

   Could it be that the business of the bookstore is booming and you want to intervene?

  Xin You secretly guarded, until the bowls and plates were removed, the old lady said with the tea served by the maid: "Yuzhu, go and get the things for the girls."

   Not long after, Yuzhu came over with a tray.

  The old lady smiled and said, "The set of gold collar belongs to Yan'er, and the other three sets of gold bracelets belong to each of you three."

  Following the old lady's signal, Yuzhu held up the tray in front of Xinyou, asking her to choose first.

  Duan Yunling didn't respond to this, Duan Yunhua couldn't help biting his lip.

  Grandmother is becoming more and more eccentric. She is obviously the granddaughter of her own biological relatives, but Kou Qingqing must be the first to choose jewelry.

  The three sets of jewelry each include a flower hairpin, a bracelet, and a pair of earrings. The materials used look similar, except for patterns and styles. Xin You chose a set at random, thanked her, and the granddaughters who received the gold jewelry also thanked her.

   "I'm happy that you guys are all dressed up tomorrow. It's getting late, let's all go back and rest."

  Back to Wanqingju, Xiao Lian couldn't help muttering: "Girl, why did the old lady suddenly give you jewelry? Do you have any plans for tomorrow?"

   "Let's see it tomorrow." For Xin You, as long as she doesn't touch her bookstore, everything else is fine.

  The sky was high and the clouds were light, and several carriages stopped at the Chuihuamen.

   "Qingqing, sit with grandma." The old lady held out her hand to Xin You.

  Xin You helped the old lady get into the front car, and Mrs. Zhu took her daughter into the back car. Duan Yunhua and Duan Yunling looked at each other, and got into the third car with a dark face and helplessness.

   Behind it, the maids and servants will sit.

  The carriage started, and the atmosphere in the first three carriages was different.

   "There are a lot of people today, so don't run around when you get there, or it will be bad if you had an accident like your cousin." Zhu Shi gently told her daughter.

  Duan Yunyan nodded obediently.

  Mr. Zhu took out the cake from the box and handed it to Duan Yunyan, and touched her daughter's bun.

  Following in the last carriage, Duan Yunhua and Duan Yunling leaned against each other, and no one spoke for a while.

The sound of squeaking wheels came to my ears, and it was so boring that it was annoying. Duan Yunhua finally couldn't hold back his anger: "Why, it's disappointing not to be able to ride in the same car with Kou Qingqing? It's a pity that he has a grandmother who hurts, and you just want to move forward There is no chance."

  Duan Yunling's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he didn't say a word.

  Duan Yunhua burst into anger, and his words became more and more impolite: "Duan Yunling, are you dumb?"

  He used to be submissive in front of her, but now he turns a blind eye to her, and concentrates on leaning towards Kou Qingqing's side.

  Duan Yunling remained silent.

  Duan Yunhua was furious all of a sudden, and stretched out his hand to twist Duan Yunling's arm.

  A hand is stretched out, grasping the outstretched hand firmly.

"you-"

  Duan Yunling looked at those stunned eyes, and asked coldly, "Second sister still wants to beat me?"

   "You think I dare not?" Duan Yunhua trembled with anger.

   "Then what? Will I be locked up by my grandmother again?"

  Duan Yunhua froze, lowered his voice and asked coldly: "You think you are Kou Qingqing, and grandma will make decisions for you?"

Duan Yunling looked at Duan Yunhua with pity: "I am me, the same as before. What about the second sister, do you still think she is the former second girl? Grandma will not make decisions for me, but she won't make decisions for you either. Let's lock up together."

  Duan Yunling's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Duan Yunhua's heart hard, making her unable to react for a while.

  Duan Yunling pushed away Duan Yunhua's hand and lifted the curtains of the car.

  The late autumn wind blows in, sweeping away the dryness, and the girl shows a relaxed smile.

  In the carriage at the front, the old lady kept smiling: "Qingqing, you are still living at home today, don't worry about it, your cousin and the others will be back from vacation tomorrow."

   "Okay." Xin You obediently agreed.

  The old lady asked some more about the bookstore, and leaned against the carriage with her eyes closed to rest.

  Xin You also lifted the curtains of the car just like Duan Yunling did.

  The autumn wind blows all over the face, refreshing, and there is the sound of horseshoes.

   Not long after, a young man rode past.

  The bay red horse kicked up smoke and dust, and the young man on the horse was extremely reckless. Xin You immediately recognized that it was Dai Ze, the son of Uncle Gu Chang.

  Dai Ze did not study in the Imperial College, so it is very likely that he will go out for an autumn walk today, which is why Xin You is willing to join in the fun.

  Maybe apart from Dai Ze, I might be able to meet other people in Guchangbo Mansion.

   This thought flashed by, and the sound of horseshoes approached again.

  Xin You glanced back and saw a burly man riding on the horse.

  She also recognized this person at a glance, it was Dai Ze's father, Gu Changbo.

  Although the bookstore is busy these days, Xin You still patiently figured out the faces of the key figures in Gu Changbo's mansion, and Gu Changbo is undoubtedly the number one.

   Without thinking too much, Xin You immediately took out a stone from his purse and shot it skillfully at the horse.

  The horse that was running suddenly felt pain, and suddenly raised its two front hooves. Seeing Gu Changbo leaning against the horse's back, he realized that the horse was out of control and turned over decisively and jumped off.

  The horse ran forward, and Gu Changbo, who had jumped off the horse, stood up on one hand, brushing the dust off his body with a sullen face.

  Because of this accident, the driver of the carriage that Xinyou was riding in pulled the reins to avoid the side of the road and stopped, and the carriage behind him also stopped.

  The old lady opened her eyes: "What's wrong?"

  Xin You poked her head out and looked out, showing the little girl's curiosity: "Someone's horse was startled, and that person jumped off the horse."

  She learned from He Qingxiao that Gu Changbo followed Jinshang to conquer the world, and his martial arts were outstanding. With the lesson of failing to assassinate He Qingxiao first, she can't act rashly, and find an opportunity to try Gu Changbo's skills.

   I didn't expect to meet by chance today, the opportunity came so quickly. And the result of the test has verified He Qingxiao's words.

   In this way, we will be more cautious in the future.

  The old lady heard that someone was startled, so she also looked out of the car window, and recognized Gu Changbo at this sight.

   "Qingqing, help me out."

  Xin You didn't show any emotion on his face, but anticipation rose in his heart.

   Could it be that the Shaoqing Mansion and the Guchangbo Mansion still have a relationship?

  The old lady got out of the carriage and walked towards Gu Changbo.

   "Uncle, do you need help?"

   Gu Changbo glanced at the old lady, but he didn't recognize her.
