(I've been busy with the script and shooting of a micro-movie recently, and I'm not very diligent in the update, please understand, I'm almost done)

At the end of September, the weather is getting cooler, the cold is shallow, and people are aware. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Gu Mo returned to Dongcheng, he obviously felt that Dongcheng had a little more chill than the towns in the south—at this time, it was already the end of autumn.

On the trees in the streets and alleys, the leaves have almost withered, and only the bare branches remain, and it may not be enough to describe the East City at this time of year.

This is the longest time Gu Mo has left the Gu Mansion since he became a parent.

He sat in the carriage, and when he heard the noise outside the carriage getting louder, he lifted the curtain and looked out—it was already in the market.

The familiar bustling street scene did not soothe the uneasiness in his heart.

Gu Mo looked at it for a while, then lowered the curtain, and leaned heavily on the bumpy carriage, closing his eyes tiredly.

This return is not quite the same as every time I have returned to the East Side in the past few years.

Gu Mo had slightly complicated emotions, feeling both anticipation and hesitation for returning.

The carriage stopped, Gu Mo put on his coat and jumped down, only to see that the gate of Gu's mansion was closed.

He frowned unconsciously—he hadn't received a letter in so long, and he didn't know what was going on in Dongcheng.

He pushed the door open and walked inside, and suddenly a refreshing musky smell hit his mouth and nose.

At this time, Yu Jin happened to come out of it, holding a book in her hand, as if she was about to go out.

"Second son, are you back?" Yu Jin raised her eyes and saw Gu Mo, she was very surprised, "Why don't you say hello in advance?"

Gu Mo said lightly: "The Lanzhou side is basically taken care of, and I'll be back." ”

Yu Jin nodded: "Second son, hurry up and have a good rest, I have to send the second wife's urgent things here." ”

Gu Mo's nerves immediately tensed: "Where is she?"

Yu Jin said: "The second wife is in the store now...... Hey, I can't explain it for a while now, why don't you go and rest first, the second wife, I'm in a hurry to ask for this thing, and I'll explain it to you!"

Gu Mo was stunned, and said expressionlessly: "Then you go quickly-by the way, remember to tell her...... I am back. ”

Yu Jin smiled: "Of course, don't worry, second son." ”

After Yu Jin finished speaking, she bowed down, and then left in a hurry.

Gu Mo stood silently in place, never moving, just looking at the empty mansion - at this moment, he suddenly felt that everything was so strange and distant.

Rustle, rustle.

Suddenly, the sound of someone sweeping the floor with a broom got closer and closer, Gu Mo came back to his senses and looked at the source of the sound.

I saw Steward Fang bending over, holding a broom in both hands, and vigorously sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground, from the direction of the stable to the front yard.

After sweeping the fallen leaves into a pile, Steward Fang seemed to be a little tired, so he straightened up, held the big broom with one hand, and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with the other.

At the moment when he wiped his sweat, Steward Fang saw Gu Mo, who happened to be looking at him.

Gu Mo pulled the corners of his mouth shallowly: "Steward Fang." ”

Steward Fang looked at Gu Mo and was stunned there, and slowly, the eyes of this old man who was over half a hundred years old turned a little red.

Steward Fang hurriedly put the broom aside, walked towards Gu Mo, stood in front of him, his voice was hoarse, and said distressedly, "Second son, you're back...... Why, how did you lose so much weight?"

That's right, Gu Mo is not only emaciated, but even his face is not particularly good, slightly pale, and the stubble is also faintly visible.

Steward Fang can be said to have watched these children of the Gu family grow up, and he feels no less sorry for these children than a father.

Gu Mo didn't say anything, just shook his head.

Steward Fang looked left and right and said, "Don't stand here, it's cold—go in and talk." ”

Steward Fang and Gu Mo walked through the corridor and came to Gu Mo's room in Beiyuan.

As soon as he pushed the door open, Gu Mo only felt that there was a shallow smell of dust permeating the air.

Without saying a word, Steward Fang walked to the side of the bed and tore off the sheets, prepared to change to a new bed, and busily tidied up the room.

Gu Mo frowned slightly: "What's the matter, hasn't the room been cleaned?"

Steward Fang stopped what he was doing and looked back at him: "The second wife said that she won't live anyway, when will the second son come back and renovate this room." ”

Gu Mo didn't say anything, and wiped the thin ash on the table with his fingers.

Steward Fang said again: "In the days when you were away, the second wife lived back in her own room in Xiyuan. ”

Gu Mo suppressed his emotions in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "How is Dad?"

Steward Fang sighed while changing the quilt cover: "Hey, the master has not regained consciousness yet, and the second lady will go to Yunjitang every day to take care of the master." ”

Gu Mo nodded, and asked casually: "Just now Yujin said that the second wife is in the store, what store?"

Steward Fang patted his head: "I forgot to tell the second son about such an important matter!"

Saying that, he walked up to Gu Mo's side: "The second wife rented a storefront in the south of the city, opened a shop, and operated aromatherapy - the three sons have been busy with this matter recently. ”

Gu Mo was puzzled: "Aromatherapy?"

Steward Fang smiled: "The second son may not know yet, I didn't know what it was when I first heard it - this is the second wife's new gadget Zhang Luo, just the small hanging stove hanging in the front hall, it is a fragrance, which was hung by the second wife herself." ”

Only then did Gu Mo know why he smelled a strong faint fragrance as soon as he entered the gate of the Gu Mansion.

But he still didn't quite understand what this was, and asked, "What is this thing for?"

"Hey, listen to the second wife, this thing is very useful. My old man won't be able to explain clearly for a while, so I'd better wait for the second wife to come back and talk to the second son. ”

Gu Mo nodded: "Steward Fang, don't be busy, just find a few maids to clean the house." ”

=========================

After Gu Mo took a hot bath, he waited in the room for Gu Wanyan to come back.

This wait is not tight, but who knows, the wait will be the next morning.

When Gu Mo woke up, he found that he had slept in his clothes last night and fell asleep leaning against the head of the bed.

He knew that maybe he was too tired.

But...... Gu Mo glanced around and found that the room was still empty, and there was no trace of anyone coming.

Gu Mo rubbed his head and sat up slowly, feeling a pain in his head.

Gu Wanyan must have only said that he was back, could it be that she didn't come back?

His heart sank - the last thing he wanted to face was to face it.

Gu Wanyan cares about that incident very much, doesn't she.

After Gu Mo washed, he changed into clean and simple clothes and went to Xiyuan.

He silently prayed in his heart that Gu Wanyan would not go out again, otherwise the two of them would really not be able to sit down and communicate properly.

Gu Mo walked to the door of Gu Wanyan's room, hesitated for a moment, and then knocked lightly three times.

When he heard Gu Wanyan's voice after a long absence, his heart relaxed a little.

"Come in. ”

Gu Mo gently pushed open the door and stepped into her room, and there was also a faint fragrance coming to her nose.

Gu Mo thought to himself, presumably this is the "incense" that Steward Fang said.

I saw Gu Wanyan studying a bunch of large and small incense burners, and after hearing the movement, she looked up, and saw that it was Gu Mo, so she lowered her head and continued to study, without saying a word, without joy or anger, which was chilling.

Gu Mo knew that he was at a loss, and he was not annoyed.

He walked up to her quietly, because he was a little uncomfortable when he came back from Lizhou, he was cold again last night, and his throat was swollen, so his voice was a little hoarse.

"Gu Wanyan, are you okay. ”

The moment Gu Wanyan heard his voice, her heart still trembled.

But she was very stubborn on the surface, and silently told herself not to be spineless - it took her a long time before she said coldly, "Okay." ”

Gu Mo was helpless, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly sat down very tiredly, and said a little gloomily: "Gu Wanyan, I'm sorry." ”

As soon as the words fell, the room fell into a discordant silence.

Gu Wanyan was still intently fiddling with the delicate and small incense burner, and did not respond to Gu Mo's unexplained words.
