Chapter Seventy-Six: Talking in the Snow
In the morning, it was almost noon, but Gu Wanyan's door was still closed, and it seemed that she hadn't gotten up yetβthis was a rare thing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gu Wanyan actually woke up early, but she didn't know why she just didn't have the strength to get up. So she has been lying silently on the couch, sometimes turning over, sometimes opening her eyes in a daze, this is several hours.
When she got up and washed and changed her clothes, she realized that it was not early.
Lan Yue, who was outside the door, seemed to hear the movement in the room, so she knocked lightly on the door and called outside, "Second wife, are you up?"
When Gu Wanyan heard Lanyue calling herself, she knew that she had been waiting outside all morning. Although he was a master and a slave outside the door, Gu Wanyan still had a burning face - she was very embarrassed that she only got up at noon.
She replied hesitantly, "Hmm...... Come in. β
Lan Yue pushed the door in with a smile, went straight to pick up the toiletry used by Gu Wanyan, and then said to Gu Wanyan: "Second wife, there is a son who has been waiting for you outside the door all morning. When he came, the slave and maid said at the beginning that they would wake you up, but the boy would not let the slave and maid call, saying that it would be good to wait for you to get up. β
After Gu Wanyan heard this, she seemed to be unable to breathe, and her heartbeat missed half a beat.
Lanyue has never seen Gu Mo, so she doesn't know Gu Mo, will it be, will it ......
Thinking about it, she unconsciously raised her steps and hurried to the door.
Gu Wanyan couldn't wait to push open the door, and the first thing that caught her eye was snowflakes flying in the sky.
It's snowing!
She was overjoyed, and then she looked at a man in a pure white fox fur cloak standing with his back to her in the snow, his black hair hanging down behind his back, sometimes fluttering in the windβthe image was like a vision, and she was in a trance for a moment.
The man in the snow looked back at this time, and the moment he saw Gu Wanyan, a gentle smile melted at the corner of his lips.
He whispered her name, "Wanyan." β
The slight smile on Gu Wan's face froze slightly, but soon her heart was filled with new surprises. Gu Wanyan exclaimed, "Xu Dong!"
After speaking, she trotted over, looked at Xu Dong with a smile and said, "Where have you been running for a while, I can't find you no matter how you look for it, you're busy!"
Xu Dong untraced the umbrella cage in his hand on top of her head, helping her block the falling snowflakes, and then skipped the question with a smile, and said, "Zhu Qi Feige sent a letter to me saying that you were looking for me, and I came back." β
Gu Wanyan frowned, as if complaining about Xu Dong: "Why didn't you wake me up when you came, why did you stand in the snow for so long?"
Xu Dong shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, and looked into the distance: "Don't you think this scenery is beautiful? I can't even get tired of seeing it." β
Gu Wanyan pursed her lips. Xu Dong slowly showed a smile that he couldn't do with her, and he said: "You always get up early - I know that as long as you get up late, you will be very tired." I'm just giving you a little more rest. β
Gu Wanyan pursed her lips and smiled, and a trace of warmth surged through her heart.
She turned her head to look at the snow and said in a stupid voice, "I didn't expect it to snow." β
yes, unexpectedly, it's snowing.
When it snowed for the first time last year, she clearly remembered that Madame was still there that day, and it seemed that she had an awkward relationship with Gu Mo later because of some misunderstandings.
However, when the first snow fell this year, the Gu Mansion was empty, walking, and scattering.
Xu Dong didn't speak, he took a brocade box on the stone bench next to him and handed it to Gu Wanyan.
Gu Wanyan looked at the stone bench beside Xu Dong, and then looked at the brocade box in his hand, only to find that Xu Dong also brought a box, so he asked, "What is this?"
Xu Dong smiled: "You open it and take a look." β
Gu Wanyan took it with both hands and slowly opened it.
I saw a fiery red fox fur and mink cloak lying quietly in the brocade box.
She was amazed by the beautiful color, and couldn't help but give a soft wow, and then couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
Xu Dong said: "I brought it to you from outside the plug, do you like it?" β
Gu Wanyan's eyes immediately turned into two crescents: "I like it, I like it very much!"
There was warmth in Xu Dong's eyes.
Gu Wanyan looked back and said, "Don't stand in the snow all the time, let's go in and talk." β
Xu Dong hesitated a little, he swept his eyes around, and said hesitantly: "This ......"
Gu Wanyan lowered her head and sighed softly, faintly inaudible - the lady had already left, the old man was sick in bed, the third brother and the fourth brother were busy with business, and the eldest brother and Liu Fengxian were two idlers who were messing around all day long, and no one in the Gu Mansion would come to worry about her, let alone ...... She was about to leave, and she didn't care what others thought of her.
What if the man was said to have a private meeting?
Gu Wanyan knew in her heart that she and Gu Mo would be separated sooner or later.
But the next moment, she had already left away the thousands of melancholy in her heart, and she didn't care about it on her face, she patted Xu Dong's arm: "It's okay, let's go in." β
So the two of them went into the house.
Lan Yue had already walked away with each other, and helped Gu Wanyan retreat from everyone in this courtyard.
As soon as Xu Dong entered Gu Wanyan's room, he felt a faint fragrance.
"Why do you want to go back to your old house, why don't you live in the room between you and Gu Mo?"
Gu Wanyan put down the brocade box, her face was expressionless, and she said lightly: "I just want to live here." β
Then she shifted the subject, pointed to the aromatherapy resting in the corner, and said proudly, "There are more than thirty kinds of mixed floral fragrances, this tastes great." β
Xu Dong took off his cloak and hung it aside, and nodded in agreement: "It's good, and Chu Lanyi helped you research it?"
Gu Wanyan was stunned after hearing this, and then an embarrassed smile appeared on her face: "What did you say?"
Xu Dong glanced at her and sat down: "You think you can fool me?"
Gu Wanyan was a little weak-hearted, and she didn't plan to argue anymore, so she lowered her head in a daze.
"Chu Lanyi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, you are a bit risky to do this. β
Gu Wanyan was not convinced, she raised her head and said, "Chu Lanyi is running for his life and needs a place to live, and I need his help in my business - no one will suffer in this transaction, what do you say?"
Xu Dong nodded first, and then said, "But it is rumored that Chu Lanyi is an extremely fickle person, you can't guarantee what he will do in the future." β
Gu Wanyan spread her hands helplessly: "Actually, I was just about to tell you about it." β
Xu Dong didn't speak, and motioned for her to say.
"I want to ...... Please take over the Aromatic Court. β
It was impossible for Xu Dong not to be surprised, he tilted his head slightly in confusion: "Why?"
Gu Wanyan's expression became a little unnatural, and she looked away: "I feel very tired from doing business, I just want to rest and rest." β
Xu Dong felt that this might not be all true, so he frowned and said, "I can help you, but if you have any difficulties, you must tell me." β
Gu Wanyan smiled bitterly, and there were several waves of sourness spreading in her heart: "I don't have any difficulties-it's just that you are the person I trust the most, and I don't want to give this store to Gu Fu, so I can only ask you." β
Xu Dong was stunned when he heard this, and then only said one word: "Okay." β
Gu Wanyan smiled gratefully: "Thank you." β
Xu Dong smiled and shook his head.
Gu Wanyan paused, and then said, "But I have a reluctant request-can I give eighty percent of the final profit to Gu Fu...... You know, the Gu Mansion needs funds. β
Xu Dong understood Gu Wanyan's thoughts very well, he smiled indifferently and said, "All the receipts are transferred to the Gu Mansion." β
Gu Wanyan was stunned, and hurriedly waved her hand, wanting to say no.
Xu Dong said, "Do you think that since I choose to help you, I will care about this money?"
Gu Wanyan thought about it, and felt that it was indeed true in her heart - in the end, she nodded vigorously and silently repeated thank you over and over again.
Xu Dong got up and walked around the room, and suddenly he noticed something - two embroidery plates were resting on Gu Wanyan's bed, both of which were finished products.
He walked over and picked it up, one in each hand, and then looked at it carefully: "It's already embroidered, so fast?"
Gu Wanyan glanced over there and said vaguely, "Ah, yes." β
Xu Dong smiled and said, "Your promise can be fulfilled, right? Which one was embroidered by you?" β
Gu Wanyan walked over, looked at the two embroidery plates in Xu Dong's hands, hesitated for a moment, glanced at the two comparisons, and casually pointed to his right hand: "This is." β
So Xu Dong put down the embroidery plate in his left hand and began to carefully look at the one in his hand, and admired while watching: "Your embroidery has made great progress." β
Gu Wanyan smiled: "What's the matter, it's just embroidery." β
Xu Dong said: "Then I will accept it unceremoniously." β
Gu Wanyan smiled and nodded, but her heart was empty.
When Xu Dong left, Gu Wanyan didn't send him, but only agreed with Xu Dong to visit the master in Yunjitang the next day.
Xu Dong nodded, then put on his white cloak and left.
Gu Wanyan watched Xu Dong go away, and felt melancholy in her heart.
