Chapter 18 The Cause of the Pain in the King's Heart
In mid-November, the first snow of the year fell in the East Side. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Gu Wanyan got up early in the morning, pushed open the window and saw the crystal snowflakes falling one after another, and the ground was also white and bright with the first snow, this scene was so beautiful that her heart was about to melt.
The old man has been pneumatic too often lately, and there are a bunch of problems that make him worry and worry about it repeatedly. The last time Nanxiangshan went to the mountain, it didn't help the master's illness at all. Moreover, now the old man's body is becoming more and more unwell. Since the day before yesterday, he has been feeling dizzy and weak, and he is quite cold now, so he basically lies on the couch in the room to recuperate.
Su Qiu and a few other subordinates went to the tailoring shop to get the winter cotton clothes they had ordered before, and when they returned to Gu's mansion, they took them to Gu Wanyan for a look. Gu Wanyan was in the room, busy with a large pile of new clothes.
The next person's cotton clothes looked relatively plain, Gu Wanyan picked them up one by one and put them in her hand and touched the thickness, feeling more satisfied, and then gave the next person's winter cotton clothes to Su Qiu and asked her to divide them in each room.
Then Gu Wanyan picked out the new clothes made for the old lady, checked them a few times, and made sure that there was no problem, so she took all the clothes in her arms and went to Dongyuan to send them to the two elders.
When she went to the old lady's room, the lady happened to come out of the house, she turned her head to see Gu Wanyan, and whispered to her, "The old man is asleep." β
Gu Wanyan nodded, and then followed Madame to another room with her clothes.
Gu Wanyan carefully put down the new clothes on the couch, turned her head and said to her wife with a smile: "Mother, the cotton clothes for this year's winter are all fabrics and looks that I specially selected for you, come and see if you like it." β
Madame smiled and walked over.
Gu Wanyan prepared six sets of jackets for his wife, all of which were different in color and style. Some are dignified and generous, some are bright and bright, and these new clothes are particularly lined with the temperament of the lady. Madame nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, or Wanyan, you understand my mind, I like it." β
Gu Wanyan smiled happily when she heard this: "It's good if my mother likes it." β
As she spoke, the lady took Gu Wanyan's hand, and the two walked to the table and sat down. The lady asked her: "Let me ask you, I heard that you have been living in the house of Xiyuan recently, and you have not lived with Mo'er, why?"
Gu Wanyan's face burned, not to mention that they have both lived in Xiyuan recently, since they got married, she and Gu Mo have not slept in the same room.
She said hesitantly: "Gu Mo, he has been busy with things these nights, and he doesn't rest until the early hours of the morning every day." No, I'm afraid that I won't have a good rest, so I went to sleep in the original room of Xiyuan first. β
When the lady heard this, she said angrily: "This Mo'er, it's too unreasonable, I'll go back and talk about him." β
Gu Wanyan hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I'm also afraid that it will affect his busyness, after all, Gu Mo is busy with business matters......"
Madame glanced at Gu Wanyan thoughtfully, and then nodded.
Then the lady seemed to have other things to explain to Gu Wanyan, she took out five land deeds and handed them to Gu Wanyan: "Wanyan, you take it." β
Gu Wanyan didn't know what it was, and when she took it suspiciously, she saw that it was the deed of Gu's jewelry branches in five other places, and she was startled. She immediately raised her head and looked at Madame in bewilderment: "This ......"
Madame paused and said, "I have discussed with the master, and now with your ability, you can completely take charge of the Gu Mansion, and I can completely leave it alone." You take these title deeds first, and then here is the lord's seal. β
As she spoke, she handed Gu Wanyan a square seal.
Gu Wanyan took it in fear: "Mother, what is this?"
Madame's eyes rolled inadvertently, and she said with a smile: "The master has always intended to sell these five properties and reopen the branches. You will go to the government tomorrow to change the names of these five title deeds to yours, and you will be able to go through the formalities of buying and selling these properties in the future. β
Gu Wanyan was shocked, she looked down at the five land deeds in her hand in a daze, and then looked up suspiciously and asked, "Why should these five branches be sold if they are running well?"
The lady said, "Sir, he has his own plans. β
Gu Wanyan let out an "oh", and couldn't help but ask: "But why did you change it to my name?
The lady was displeased and asked, "Wanyan, what do you mean by this, don't you believe your mother?"
Gu Wanyan realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, I mean ......"
"Alright. Madame interrupted her, "This matter is the result of my discussion with the master, and you have seen that the master's health has not been good recently, how can he have the strength to take care of these things." So that's not for me to tell you about it. Why, Wanyan, do you believe it until the master personally delivers the title deed to you?"
Madame seemed to be a little angry at Gu Wanyan's hesitation. Gu Wanyan felt guilty all of a sudden, she bit her lip: "Mother, I'm sorry, Wanyan didn't mean that." It's because the stakes are high, and Wanyan wants to figure out ....."
In the blink of an eye, Madame's displeasure disappeared, and a smile appeared on her slightly old but still noble face: "Okay, my mother knows that you are a thoughtful child." It's time to figure it out, right? It's snowing today, so don't go out. I'll do this tomorrow, and when I come back, give me the lord's seal, and you will keep the title deed, and take it when you want to sell it in the future, troublesome. β
Gu Wanyan nodded cautiously.
The law of Loulan State stipulates that the transaction of real estate must be carried out by the owner of the property written on the title deed in person. Now that Gu Wanyan is in charge, she will definitely have to do the matter of buying and selling real estate in the future, so she thought about it, and it is reasonable to change the name of the deed to her name first.
It's just that the lady and the master really trust themselves too much! Gu Wanyan thought.
On the one hand, she was grateful to the old lady for her trust, but on the other hand, she felt a great responsibility in her heart......
However, she knew in her heart that her loyalty to the old lady and the Gu Mansion would never change.
The next day, she went to the government to complete the procedures for changing the name of the property, and then returned to the Gu Mansion.
She didn't go to Xiyuan, but went to her and Gu Mo's wedding room, thinking about getting some things she had left there. As soon as she entered the door with her front feet and was about to sit down and rest for a while, Su Qiu ran over in a panic and told her that there was a little girl doing rough work in the backyard, and she somehow suddenly fainted while washing clothes.
Gu Wanyan twitched in her heart, and her brows tightened. She didn't care about any rest, she put down the things in her hand and hurriedly followed Su Qiu to the backyard.
The little girl seemed to be sick, but she was sick and silent, and she was still washing clothes in the winter, so she couldn't bear it and fainted.
Gu Wanyan immediately instructed Su Qiu and a few other family members to take this little girl to Yunji Hall for medical treatment.
When she dangled back to the room alone, Gu Mo happened to be there.
Gu Wanyan just wanted to say hello to Gu Mo, but Gu Mo turned around and looked at her coldly, his eyes cold.
Gu Wanyan felt that Gu Mo's mood didn't seem right, so she asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Mo slowly raised his hand, and what he held in his hand were the five land deeds with Gu Wanyan's name written on them: "What is this." β
Gu Wanyan was stunned for a moment, and before she could figure out the situation, she still had a smile on her face, and asked Gu Mo strangely: "What is what?"
Gu Mo was suddenly a little tired of the calm smile she had been hanging all day long, and he said coldly: "How did the name of this title deed become yours?"
Gu Wanyan was stunned again, and then suddenly realized, and opened her mouth to explain: "Oh, this, this is ......"
Gu Mo didn't wait for her to finish speaking, then interrupted her: "Why do I believe you? You really still have a purpose, right?"
Gu Wanyan saw that Gu Mo had a deep misunderstanding, so she couldn't help pursing her lips, frowned and said, "You misunderstood......!
As soon as Gu Mo heard Gu Wanyan mention Mrs., he immediately remembered something, and interrupted her again with a cold snort: "Hmph, it seems that you and she are people in the same boat, but they just borrowed me together to achieve your goals." β
Gu Wanyan's brows were twisted, and she looked at Gu Mo inexplicably. She didn't know what Gu Mo meant by this, she didn't know at all! As she tried to think about it, Gu Mo took a deep look at her, and there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes, as if there was a trace of pain.
Then Gu Mo shook his hand angrily and left.
"Hey!" Gu Wanyan suddenly felt very aggrieved, it turned out that Gu Mo, who usually seemed to be rational, was so uncalm when he got angry, why didn't he listen to his explanation at all? She hurriedly turned around and shouted Gu Mo, but Gu Mo still left without looking back.
Gu Mo walked out of the gate of the Gu Mansion with his hands behind his back, his face gloomy.
He hated himself like that. He Gu Mo, when has he ever been angry for others like this. Or rather, there was never anything worth his anger at all.
Why?, he asked himself. Is it because he already believes in Gu Wanyan? That's why he was so disappointed and sad when he knew the truth.
It was about real estate, and Gu Mo wanted to ask the master about it. But when he thought about it, the old man was now overly angry, and his body was almost like that. In case the lord gets angry about this matter again, then ......
In the midst of the contradictions, Gu Mo raised his head and found that he had walked to the gate of the Red Moon Tower.
I don't know if Loulan has really been here today. Gu Mo thought about it, raised his feet and went in.
The girls in the Red Moon Building all recognized him, and a maid directly led Gu Mo to the VIP room on the top floor.
As soon as Gu Mo entered the door, he sat down and said coldly, "Go find me someone to sing." β
The old mother on the side rolled her eyes, leaned in front of Gu Mo, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, the girls who sing songs are the best ones here are Miss Miaolan and Miss Yun Liuxiang." β
The old mother paused, the smile on her face became ambiguous, and then said: "Miaolan's figure is plump and full, but Yun Liuxiang's kung fu is better, I don't know Gu Gongzi, which girl do you want to serve? Or do you two come together?"
Gu Mo was stunned, stiffened, and then straightened his face: "I said I wanted to sing a song-you don't have anyone here who only sells art?"
The old mother was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her face gradually turned into confusion - this Gu Gongzi came to Hongyue Mansion and never wanted the girl to serve. I finally took the initiative to order a girl today, but I specified that I wanted someone who didn't sell herself?
Then she suddenly realized that she slapped her thigh - it turns out that this Gu Gongzi likes to be pure!
The old mother's face was immediately covered with a flattering and flattering smile: "Yes, yes, why not, Gu Gongzi, please wait a moment!"
With that, she walked out of the VIP room with a twist.
As soon as the old mother went out, she said to the maids on the left and right: "The one I bought the day before yesterday, the one that looks quite cute...... What is the name of Qingkui's girl, hasn't she always been reluctant to pick up customers? Call her over and sing a song to Gu Gongzi!"
The maid replied and immediately went to the boudoir of the Qingkui girl to ask her to prepare.
Qingkui is an orphan girl, who has been sold from childhood to adulthood, and has helped others earn money by singing songs on the street when she was a child. Now she was sold to the Qinglou by the previous master, but she was resolutely unwilling to sell herself, the girl in the entire Hongyue Building, only her temperament was incompatible with here, and she was not touched by the dust at all.
Qingkui sat in the room, and as soon as the maid came in, she told her: "There is a son who has specified that as long as you don't sell your body, you should quickly prepare a few tunes and go up and sing them." β
Qing Kui stopped combing his hair: "Really?"
The maid was a little impatient, and when she saw that Qingkui was a newcomer, she was not very polite to her: "Ask so much! If you want to go, you will go! I said that I will not let you sell my body! This son is a distinguished guest, you serve well, and the reward must be indispensable." β
When Qingkui heard the reward, his heart moved. Qingkui needs money, she is now penniless, and she must accumulate capital if she wants to escape from here.
Qingkui bowed his head and said, "Okay, I'm ready to prepare." β
The maid looked at her with special disdain, and whispered: "What kind of innocence do you have to pretend to be here, sooner or later you don't want to become a bitch who serves men in bed." β
Qingkui was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything, and silently reached out to get his pipa.
=======================
When Qing Kui entered the VIP room, Gu Mo was looking down and playing with a delicate wine glass, and he didn't even look at the person who came in.
She looked at Gu Mo, bit her lip and walked over, sat down at a distance from Gu Mo, put the pipa up, and asked timidly, "What song does Gu Gongzi want to hear?"
Gu Mo still didn't raise his eyes to look at Qing Kui, and said coldly: "Whatever." β
Qing Kui was relieved when she heard it, she was worried about what if the other party said a song that she couldn't sing, in case that would be troublesome.
She plucked the strings of the pipa with her white jade handβ
As soon as Gu Mo heard the sound of the pipa, he subconsciously went to see the person playing the piano.
That's right, he remembered Gu Wanyan who played the pipa.
At this moment, he hated Gu Wanyan in his heart. He hated that she was able to deceive him into trusting him again and again, and hated her for pretending to be a good person with unpure motives, so that he gradually fell in love with her.
In addition to hate, there is also inexplicable sadness.
The more beautiful the illusion, the more hurtful the truth.
Qingkui slowly spoke, and the sweet and soft singing voice suddenly filled the entire VIP room.
"When I first saw Qing, I was suspicious, and I didn't understand what Qing's heart meant.
I am worried when I see Qing again, and I am gentle between my eyebrows.
I was moved to see Qing coming again, and I was already sorry for Qing.
I was intoxicated when I saw Qing coming, and Qing smiled like wine.
I want to send my heart to enlightenment, but I hesitate and suffer. β
With the faint sound of the pipa, the first section was sung.
Gu Mo was stunned for a moment, and asked Qing Kui, "What song is this?"
The sound of the pipa stopped, and Qingkui replied: "Hui Gongzi, this song is called "Lovesickness". β
Gu Mo nodded and motioned for Qing Kui to continue.
Qing Kui swept up the strings of the pipa again, and after the interlude she finished singing, she sang softly.
Gu Mo drank a glass of wine and raised his head to look at the woman in front of him. Through the wine, he seems to have begun to dare to face his sincerity these days.
He looked at Qing Kui. The woman in front of her is a Peugeot beauty - with a beautiful face, a dignified temperament, and a charming voice.
However, Gu Mo felt that when he was in front of Gu Wanyan, he felt different from when he looked at other women.
He seemed to feel that from the time he got married to later, the more he came into contact with Gu Wanyan, the more he felt that she could bring people an inexplicable warmth. The warmth is indescribable, as if it comes from her heart, complementing the indifferent smile at the corner of her mouth, and it is also like the gentle finger wrapping around the fingers in March, which makes people feel warm.
Thinking of this, Gu Mo suddenly snorted coldly in his heart, laughing at himself for being so stupid that he was deceived by the illusion. He told himself that everything was fake.
Her indifference, her elegance, and her kindness are all fake. Gu Wanyan is just a vulgar woman who is greedy for money.
The more he thought about it, the more painful his heart became. Until the heart is numb, and there is a cold and bone-chilling as before.
Qingkui was singing, and he couldn't help but look at Gu Gongzi, a girl who didn't sell her body as long as she was acting and not selling herself, and she was faintly curious.
It turns out that there is still such a man in the world?
