“It’s getting late. Mom, can you have a meal?” Shang Xingchen asked gently.
Mrs. Shang nodded and looked at Gu Ling and said, “Miss Gu together?”
Gu Ling hurriedly said, “It’s better for my wife to call me Ling’er. My parents always call me like this at home.” Gu Ling said with a smile, no longer having the expression of pear blossoms with rain.
“No, the rules cannot be broken.” Mrs. Shang refused without thinking.
It made Gu Ling feel at a loss. She had a good chat just now, and she thought she was just one step away. Why did Mrs. Shang turn against each other faster than reading?
Mrs. Shang stood up and asked softly, “Xingchen, how is Qingqing?”
“It’s okay, I’m sleeping soundly.” Shang Xingchen looked at Gu Ling’s speed of changing face and felt extremely disgusted with her, but on the surface he was still polite.
“That’s good, let’s go. The weather is good today. Let’s go to Huxinting together.” Mrs. Shang said softly.
Gu Yunqing vaguely remembered that there was a large pond in the yard behind Shang Mansion. There was indeed a pavilion in the center, which seemed to be called this name.
“Yes.” The four of them walked slowly towards Huxin Pavilion along the path of Shang Mansion. I don’t know if it was intentional. Shang Xingchen specifically looked for difficult roads to walk forward. Mrs. Shang and Gu Yunqing were fine. They were simple and convenient to wear. The most difficult thing was Gu Ling. Her skirt was rubbing on the ground, and soon it was stained with dust. Gu Ling’s heart was bleeding. This was her best skirt.
But looking at Mrs. Shang who was still walking in front of her, she could only grit her teeth and follow. When the four of them walked to the pavilion, there were a lot of soil and leaves on the corners of Gu Ling’s skirt, and the thread in some places had been worn open. The new skirt that had only been worn twice turned into an old skirt.
If it weren’t for the fact that Mrs. Shang could have turned around and left long ago.
