Chapter Twenty-Seven: Another Storm
The young man's face was raised, and he looked at the vine and vegetable corridor in front of him, the front yard of the bamboo forest, above the white-gray wall, there was a plaque inlaid with gold and green ink, and the plaque was embedded with three vigorous characters: "Ciming Yuan"
Gu Xuan was a little hesitant, and just stepped back on the bluestone paved steps.
"Young Master Xuan, you can go in! The master is having breakfast!" Gu Qian's personal servant smiled and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Gu Xuan nodded, picked up the little milk cat in his arms and walked in.
Before he reached the door of the front hall, he heard a coquettish laugh from inside:
"Father, this is delicious, you can eat more. The crisp voice was like a warbler coming out of the valley, and it was very beautiful, but Gu Xuan's body was shocked.
His face was slightly cold, and he didn't know whether to advance or retreat......
"Come in, come in! What does the pestle look like there!" Gu Qian's cold tone came, and he glanced at the door of the red Nanmu, his face suddenly did not look good, and he did not forget to clip a piece of green glutinous osmanthus sticky cake and put it on the plate in front of Fu Liluo.
Fu Liluo also looked out lightly, and vaguely saw the corner of the white clothes floating in the wind, but he couldn't see the person's face.
Although she couldn't see it, she also knew who it was, put down her chopsticks, she stood up, opened the orange-red roller blinds inlaid with carnelian with her bare hands, and greeted her with a light smile.
The young man raised his eyebrows slightly, not looking at her squarely.
She pondered for a moment, and finally couldn't bear to see him standing in the wind.
"Brother Xuan, have you had breakfast?" Fu Li Luo smiled lightly and took his hand.
Judging from Gu Qian's attitude towards him, Manluo is right, Otsuka Zai really doesn't like this son, is he going to be snubbed because Mrs. Yan died in childbirth when she gave birth to him? She was a little distressed, after all, she occupied Gu Xi's body, so she wanted to be good to him, just because he was Gu Xi's own brother.
"Don't be pretentious!"
The boy shook off her hand, and she stumbled defenselessly, half of her body being thrown against the mahogany door frame.
A dull pain hit her waist and abdomen, she couldn't help but bared her teeth and screamed softly, and Manluo ran over in a panic:
"Miss, it hurts to fall. Manberry anxiously held her on, busy checking her injuries.
She smiled wryly and shook her head: "It's out of the way, I didn't stand firm." ”
She was afraid that Otsuka Zai would blame Gu Xuan, so she endured the discomfort in her waist and stood firm with Manluo's arm.
But it just so happened that this scene was still seen by the coming Otsuka Zai Gu Qian, Gu Qian's beard trembled, and he held Fu Liluo's arm in distress.
Otsuka Zai, who has always been gentle, pointed at the young man and scolded, "If you don't want to come, get out, so as not to dirty my eyes." ”
"Xi'er is your own sister, don't you know what's wrong!"
If it's ugly, Otsuka Jae came as soon as he opened his mouth, not caring about the face of the little boy at all, let alone the father-son relationship.
Gu Qian helped Fu Liluo, who was on her feet, and held each other with manna, and helped her to walk towards the soft couch of Molan brocade.
Gu Xuan's eyes widened, his eyes were cold, and his fair face was a little crimson because of anger.
couldn't help coughing a few times, holding his chest and panting softly:
"Father, she is used to being hypocritical, father, don't be blinded by her!"
Gu Xuan angrily followed Gu Qian, chattering and persuading.
He just couldn't get used to the hypocritical posture of the woman in front of him, and she blindly flattered her father, so that she was alone and favored by her father?
Thinking of the miserable appearance of the weak and docile second sister Gu Yunhua crying, the hatred for the girl in front of him was a little more.
Perhaps, his father dislikes him so much, maybe she is also a ghost.
saw Gu Qian personally bring her food, and loved her so much, he was even more angry and about to explode.
"Father, this woman is a vicious person, father ....."
syllable
Before he finished speaking, the young man had been thrown out, and on the edge of a few flower pots on the log more than a foot away, a stinging pain struck, and the smooth forehead was suddenly blue and red, looking a little shocking, and the little guys hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but he pushed him away.
His eyes widened in disbelief, looking at the angry Gu Qian, the bright red liquid dripping down his thin pursed lips, and then he twisted his eyebrows and coughed violently.
He just said a few words to her, his father actually defended her like this, he knew the power of the slap just now, the young man quickly hid the soreness and pain in his eyes, and lay on the ground coldly.
"Father, my father is angry, and I ask my father to spare him!"
Fu Liluo was also shocked, ignoring the pain in his ankle, he hurriedly got down from the soft lean, and pulled the corner of Gu Qian's clothes to plead.
She didn't expect this Gu Xuan to say about her in front of so many people, and she didn't expect Gu Qian to be so angry!
Gu Qian's eyes widened angrily, he sat on the soft chair of the cloud scarlet plum blossom brocade on the side, stretched out his fingers, pointed at the weak young man lying on the ground, trembling with anger and unable to speak.
If it weren't for the face of his deceased wife Shen Xingruo, he would have ended him with a sword, this rebel must have been blinded by lard, and even his sister-in-law would belittle and slander!
The housekeeper trembled and handed him the new tea, looked at the young man lying on the ground worriedly, shook his head, and silently stepped aside.
"Father, please, spare Brother Xuan!"
Seeing that Gu Qian was silent, Fu Liluo helped the mangrove and walked over.
"Father.....
She crouched beside him and begged him.
correct
The young man glanced hatefully at the girl who pleaded for him, his curled eyelashes covered his loneliness and unwillingness, and he struggled half of his body to pant lightly, his eyes were red.
The little guy next to him was busy, holding his body that was about to fall down at any time, and he didn't dare to come out.
"Gu Xi, you don't pretend to be a good person, I don't need you to intercede for me!"
A cold snort came out of the boy's nose.
sneered at the plain skirt girl squatting on the wool felt of Xiangluan Tuanyun.
"You..... You brute who doesn't know what to do, I'll kill you today! ”
Gu Qian's eyes were scarlet, and he hurriedly ordered the housekeeper to get the thin vine ancient whip.
The housekeeper was stunned, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and Nuo Nuo said: "Master, you must not! Not to mention that the young master's body is delicate and can't bear it, even the little ones can't help the whip!"
And they all turned pale and fell to their knees.
"Don't go quickly! Whoever pleads again will fight with him!" Gu Qian was determined to teach him a lesson, a pair of thick eyebrows stood up, and looked at the stubborn young man on the ground who refused to bow his head with hatred.
The butler lowered his head, went to the low cabinet of hibiscus flowers behind the roller blinds, opened the cabinet door and took the whip.
Gu Qian grabbed the whip, Fu Liluo's face tightened, and he wanted to stop it, but he pounced.
Gu Qian squinted at Manluo, and was angry: "Stop her." ”
Manluo agreed to hug Fu Liluo's body tightly and didn't let her come forward.
The young lady just broke her foot, and stepping forward at this moment will only increase Otsuka's anger even more, so she won't let her go.
"You son of a, I'll kill you. ”
Gu Qian almost jumped up in a rage, and flung the whip in his hand at the pale boy.
Gu Qian did not hesitate at all, let alone relent.
I saw the whip flying with a torrent of cold wind, as if the snake was spitting red letters, and the cold light was grinning, and the wind rolled up by the whip alone frightened everyone present.
The young man stubbornly raised his cheeks, muffled and silent, the sharp pain hit, he lay on the ground crookedly, cold sweat flowed on his smooth forehead, and the jade-like jaw was scraped out of a red mark a few inches long, which looked shocking.
Everyone was shocked, everyone knew that this Lord Otsuka Zai, very unwelcome, and the little young master from the eldest lady's mother, the reason is because the little young master was born to kill his own mother, and according to the fortune teller, the young master's eight characters and Otsuka Prime Minister clash with each other, so he was fostered in the house by the second lady as soon as he was born, Otsuka Zai in addition to seeing him during the New Year's holidays, he is usually lazy to see him, but Miss Gu is regarded as the root of his life by Otsuka Zai, even if she makes a big mistake will forgive her.
Everyone sighed, this Otsuka Jae is too favoritous.
At this time, seeing Otsuka Zai beating the young master so ruthlessly, the eldest lady couldn't persuade him, so a bold little guy took advantage of everyone's inattention, and secretly slipped out under the flowery corridor and went to Juqingyuan to invite the second lady.
After a moment's effort, there was a murmuring cry from the corridor of the outer courtyard.
"Master, please stop fighting. ”
The second lady Yang Suqin walked in with the support of her grandmother, followed by the crying second lady Gu Yunhua.
"Father, don't beat Brother Xuan, he will be killed by you. ”
Gu Yunhua's little face was full of tears, the corners of his eyes were not visible, he glanced at Fu Liluo, who was half-bent, and couldn't help but tighten the plain brocade handkerchief in his palm.
Gu Qian glanced at the thin young man on the ground, his eyes were a little sour, and when he met the young man's hateful gaze, he shook off Yang Suqin's hand, and shook the whip fiercely.
"Father, don't fight...."
Gu Yunhua followed Gu Qian from a distance, looking at the mighty whip with vigilant eyes, for fear that he would accidentally throw it on him, but he was still pleading with mercy.
"Everyone doesn't ask for mercy, otherwise they will fight together. ”
Gu Qian Tie's face was blue, and his eyes seemed to bulge out of anger, which looked very scary.
Gu Yunhua shrank for a moment, lowered his eyebrows, and stepped aside.
The second lady Yang Suqin picked up a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and quickly pulled the shrunken Gu Yunhua with one hand, and pulled it behind her, like a hen protecting her cubs, for fear that she would be affected.
For a while, everyone in the entire front hall was silent, and no one dared to step forward to dissuade them.
This scene happened to be seen by Fu Liluo, who got up, and she couldn't help clenching her fists.
"Shoot you bunny, kill you. ”
Gu Qian scolded in his mouth, and his hands kept stopping.
After a while, the young man's white clothes were a little scarlet, and he looked very shocking.
"Beat you son of a wreck, beat you..."
Gu Qian gritted his teeth and shook his eyes down fiercely, not caring about his life or death.
Everyone trembled, looking at the whip about to fall, it is estimated that if this whip goes down, the young man will definitely die here, and everyone's hearts are in their throats, and their eyes are straight to see that the whip is about to fall......
suddenly
"Ah...h
The girl let out a scream, but everyone had not yet reacted.
When I looked at it again, the eldest lady's slender body was tightly protected by the young man's body, and the cold whip with thin teeth suddenly whipped on her thin shoulders and back, with lightning speed.
"Xi'er, Xi'er, what are you doing here?"
Gu Qian threw the whip and squatted down anxiously.
When he saw the red marks on the girl's back, he felt sorry and blamed himself.
"Xi'er ....."
"Hurry, hurry up and ask Dr. Hu to come and treat the eldest lady, be quick, hurry!"
Gu Qian yelled, picked up his baby daughter and went to the soft couch of Yunmo Meijin.
The young man looked at the girl incredulously, and the girl frowned, and her eyes were shining.
Fu Liluo glanced at the slightly surprised young man weakly, and his face was still the same.
Why? Why did she save herself? That whip was enough to keep her in bed for days.
The young man's eyes flickered, his eyes were deep, and he looked at the girl lying on the soft couch again.....
Don't... Did he really blame her? He ignored the pain in his body and fell into deep thought....
"Brother Xuan, Brother Xuan, how are you?"
Gu Yunhua had a worried face, and hurriedly greeted him, and was about to take the young man's hand.
The young man lightly removed his hand and stood up with his personal servant.
Gu Yunhua fluttered into the air, his face was slightly stunned, and his heart was in a panic, why didn't he even look at her, but looked at the woman on the couch several times, could it be that he knew something? Gu Yunhua moved to the side in a sneer, thinking secretly in his heart.
Pinching her right hand, she walked towards the girl on the couch dejectedly: "Is my sister okay?"
Gu Yunhua brushed aside the mangrove and poked his head out, his face was full of melancholy, but in an instant, the sneer that flashed at the corner of his curved lips was all caught by Fu Liluo, who had just frowned.
"Alas, young master, young master....."
"The young master fainted....."
The little servants screamed, and the young man, who was like jade and snow, lay alone on the side of the door with dark lines of mahogany.
Fu Liluo was very anxious, and was about to stand up, but Gu Qian's hand was held down, and she was busy pulling Gu Qian's sleeve, "Father, let's show Brother Xuan first! ”
At the same time, she swore in her heart with a sad look in her eyes that she would protect Gu Xi's younger brother thoroughly, even if it was a reward for Gu Xi!
Unconsciously raised his eyes at the ancient cloud painting standing at the corner of the couch, and smiled at the ancient cloud painting that was out of his mind.
Although it was a smile, but the cold light under the smile like a spring breeze, Gu Yunhua received it without a trace, she snorted coldly, and twisted Su Pa's hand harder and harder.
