Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 215 Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival
In the afternoon of autumn, the sun is just right and comfortable, neither too dazzling nor too hot, it shines on people lazily, and it makes people feel tired unconsciously.

Xu Shuhua sat in the yard reading a book, and gradually became drowsy as he watched.

Gu Yunji walked over lightly, wanting to put a coat on her, but Xu Shuhua was a light sleeper, and woke up as soon as he approached, and said with a smile, "It's so early today?"

Gu Yunji didn't answer, but sat down next to each other, wrapped her around her body from behind, and said softly, "What book are you reading?"

Xu Shuhua said: "You gave me "Catholic Essentials", just take a look at it when you have nothing to do."

Gu Yunji looked at the "Catholic Essentials" that she turned to the pages of the book, and turned her head to look at her: "How many times have you read this book and are you still reading it? If you like this kind of book, I will read it again in the future." Get some more for you."

Xu Shuhua looked into his eyes and said with a smile: "No need. There are not many books of this kind. I have read most of them. The rest are nothing more than unpopular chapters. Even if you read them, you won't gain much. Why bother you?" How about looking for it again? Besides, I’m not very interested, just killing time.”

Although women in this era have many restrictions, Xu Shuhua was relatively free when he was not out of the cabinet. The family population was simple, Xu Chengyu had always been open-minded, and she was able to go out to play from time to time.Now that she is married to the Gu family, the population is large and strict, and there are mothers-in-law and elders watching over her, so she is no longer as relaxed as before.

It was fine when Gu Yunji was around, but when he wasn't around, Xu Shuhua could only nestle in the yard, reading some old books to pass the time.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunji and her lightly pressed their foreheads together, and said, "There will be a lantern festival on the street tomorrow, let's finish dinner at home early and go out for a stroll together?"

Xu Shuhua's beautiful eyes were slightly surprised: "Aren't you going to be on duty tomorrow?"

Gu Yunji said helplessly: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, have you forgotten? It's because the reunion festival is approaching, so the Imperial Academy opened it earlier today."

Xu Shuhua was startled when he heard the words, and then smiled: "I'm so confused that I almost forgot about the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Looking at the smile on Xu Shuhua's face, Gu Yunji only felt uncomfortable in his heart, sighed silently, held her hand and said: "Right now... I need to endure it for a few more years, when Qiaoqiao gets married or I get promoted from the Imperial Academy, I'll find an excuse, let's go out separately. When the time comes, you can go out and do whatever you want, okay?"

"Actually, it's the same everywhere, it doesn't matter if I go out or not, I feel more comfortable staying at home." Xu Shuhua was relieved, but suddenly remembered something, "Since I'm going to the lantern festival tomorrow, why don't I take Qiaoqiao with me? "

Gu Yunji raised his eyebrows: "What are you taking her for?"

"What do you mean by taking her? Qiaoqiao is your sister." Xu Shuhua laughed for a moment and looked at him helplessly. Every now and then I go out to play with my boudoir sisters. Now that I’m in the capital, I’m unfamiliar with the place, I don’t even have a friend, and I’m almost bored at home.”

Previously, Gu Yunji only thought about living a two-person world with Xu Shuhua. When she said this, she suddenly realized that she had neglected Gu Yunqiao, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "It was me who was negligent as a brother. Then the three of us will go tomorrow." Watch the Lantern Festival, don’t take others with you, let Qiaoqiao have a good time.”

-

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky had just darkened, and all kinds of lanterns, large and small, were hung on the street. The colors were so colorful and eye-catching that it was almost dazzling.

Gu Yunqiao was originally a lively person, she had been confined at home for a long time, and once she was released, she couldn't hold it back.Looking at this for a while, looking at that for a while, my heart and eyes are full of novelty, and I can't calm down at all.

Seeing that Gu Yunqiao was reckless and almost bumped into someone, Gu Yunji said with a straight face: "Qiaoqiao, it's so easy to walk, look at you, you are bouncing around without a shape."

Gu Yunqiao stuck out her tongue embarrassingly, and leaned in front of him to act coquettishly: "Brother, there are a lot of rules in the house on weekdays. They must be dignified and generous, but also restrained and quiet. I don't like it at all, and I have to pretend Everyone looks like a lady, I have already pretended to be tired."

"It's hard to go out today, my parents are away, and no one knows me on the street, so just let me have a good time, okay?"

Gu Yunji was not angry at all, and hearing the words, he couldn't bear to continue to be cold-faced to her, so he patted her head lovingly: "Okay, okay, you can play however you want, just be careful when you walk, there are so many people at the moment , even if it’s not to pretend to be seen by others, it’s also to avoid falling down.”

"Brother is so kind!" Gu Yunqiao happily responded, but in the next second, she was attracted by a small gadget on the stall. Even if Dang ran over, she didn't know if she had listened to Gu Yunji's words.

Gu Yunji shook his head helplessly: "I don't know when this girl will grow up."

Xu Shuhua said in relief: "Little girl, it's all like this. I was as detached as she was when I was young, but when I got older, coupled with repeated reminders and nagging from the elders, I slowly restrained myself. Qiaoqiao still Being able to have such a straightforward temperament is extremely precious in my opinion, if you are still young, let her have fun."

Gu Yunji also felt that this was reasonable, so she let her go.

Looking at the lanterns all over the street, Gu Yunji couldn't help but think of the lantern festival that he visited in Hangzhou Fucheng on Qixi Festival that year, and said in confusion: "It's the same lanterns and the same street scene, but I feel that today is very different from what I saw in Hangzhou Fucheng. It's really strange. .”

Xu Shuhua said with a smile: "One is that the meaning of the festival is different, the other is that the location and time are different, and the third - and the most important point is that your mood now is completely different from what it was then."

"Yes, I was still studying in Luxi Academy at that time, and my mind was full of imperial examinations. Even on festivals like Qixi Festival, I was thinking about going to Kuixing to seek fame." Recalling the past, Gu Yunji was full of emotion, "But I was It's not very sincere, and it's over after a few hasty obeisances. Fortunately, Mr. Kuixing didn't care about it, and finally let me be in the list."

Xu Shuhua teased: "The main thing is that you study hard by yourself, otherwise, even if Mr. Kuixing wants to help you, you don't know where to start. You can't turn into an adult and do the papers for you in the examination room, right?"

Gu Yunji laughed when he heard the words: "That's right, if Mr. Kuixing did the papers for every scholar who seeks fame, I'm afraid he would score tens of thousands of points just for his avatar. That would be really hard for him."

Speaking of this, Gu Yunji's heart moved, and he looked down at Xu Shuhua: "I remember that Kuixing Hall and Weaver Girl Hall were next to each other. I asked Kuixing for fame, and what did you ask for Zhinu?"

Xu Shuhua bent his eyes and raised his eyebrows playfully: "Guess?"
