Chapter 70 How the pines and cypresses are like sheltering from winter worries
At 10 o'clock in the afternoon, there were few inexplicable pedestrians on both sides of the street, only some businessmen and hawkers, deserted. The www.biquge.info wind swept the fallen leaves and floated up, Gu Wanyan paced on the street alone, sometimes with her right arm holding her left arm, sometimes changing, her left arm holding her right arm, as if she only had herself to rely on for warmth, her face was indifferent and slightly depressed.
She has always been afraid of the cold.
When I was young, every time it was winter, my mother wanted to make her a little jacket that was thicker than other people's children, so that she could survive the whole winter.
This year's winter seemed to be colder than last year, and when a sharp cold wind cut over her face, Gu Wanyan thought while slowing down.
Last winter......
If memory serves, this time last year, Gu Yan was busy preparing for the jewelry design competition.
It was also around this time last year, Gu Mo whispered to her in the room where there were only the two of them, I believe you.
But now......
Gu's jewelry was forced to close the door, the old man was bedridden, the lady betrayed and left, and Gu Mo went to a distant place with her estrangement.
Liu Fengxian, Qingkui, Zunwang, Madame, Su Qiu, Chu Lanyi......
These confusing contradictions and doubts are entangled in her heart, like countless knots that cannot be untied.
Gu Wanyan thought about it, smiled bitterly and shook her head, the so-called things are human and wrong, I'm afraid it's just that.
But even if her life is still full of holes, she still has to support the Gu Mansion with her family and wait for the master to come home; she still has to hold her head high and face those intrigues, you come and go.
It's just that she really feels tired, and this time she feels that she has no one to rely on, and she feels so tired - then, Gu Mo, where are you.
I don't know how long I walked aimlessly, and suddenly a black crowd on the side of the city wall came into Gu Wanyan's eyes from afar.
She slowly stopped—looking around, she didn't know what was going on in front of her, only to see that the people were surrounded by three layers of water in front of her.
Gu Wanyan suddenly realized why there were only a few people on the streets and streets of Fangcai, and it turned out that everyone was gathered here.
So, what's up ahead?
Gu Wanyan paused, raised her eyebrows, and walked in the direction of the crowd.
There were so many people that she stood on the outermost side, and she couldn't see what was going on in the middle of the surrounding, even if her neck was stretched out from side to side.
But after a while, she heard a feminine voice that looked like a eunuch in the palace: "After the time of two incense sticks, you all come back here and enter the palace with me." Now if you want to go home and see your parents, go and go back quickly. ”
Only then did Gu Wanyan understand that this was a new batch of palace maids who were about to enter the palace.
The new palace maids were sparsely dispersed, and the onlookers saw that there was nothing to see, so they also left.
As soon as the crowd was evacuated, Gu Wanyan really saw a lot of immature and youthful faces.
The young girls must have gone to the palace on an errand - perhaps they had sought a livelihood and shared the toils of their families, and the faces of the girls were more or less relieved, but perhaps they did not know what it was like in the splendid palace, and there was a hint of confusion on their faces.
Gu Wanyan sighed for them in her heart, and as soon as she entered the deep palace, she couldn't help herself. It's a pity that these young girls want to spend their best years in that golden cage.
Maybe the beautiful girl will be picked by the king as a concubine, or maybe the girl who was involved in the palace strife will be gone forever and become a victim of the powerful......
For some reason, Gu Wanyan suddenly thought of Gu Huan.
Gu Wanyan looked at the women who were about to become palace maids with a touch of gloom in her eyes.
At the moment when she was about to turn around and leave, lowering her head and raising her head again, Gu Wanyan actually saw Su Qiu. I saw Su Qiu standing silently under the big pine tree not far away, and there were many young women around her, some of whom were silent and some were talking.
Gu Wanyan reacted quickly - those women should all be palace maids who are about to enter the palace, so why is Su Qiu also there?!
Gu Wanyan chuckled inexplicably in her heart, her brows furrowed, her eyes were still on Su Qiu, and her head couldn't stop thinking about what was going on.
It just so happened that Su Qiu raised his head and also saw Gu Wanyan, and the eyes of the two naturally met.
But seeing Su Qiu stunned, his expression became gloomy and solemn.
Gu Wanyan immediately lifted her steps and walked quickly towards Su Qiu, but when Su Qiu saw this, she immediately stood up and ran away, obviously she didn't want to see Gu Wanyan. When Gu Wanyan saw Su Qiu running away, she couldn't help but call out her name, "Su Qiu!"
Su Qiu ran and saw that he couldn't get rid of Gu Wanyan, so he simply stopped, turned around and looked coldly at Gu Wanyan getting closer and closer.
Gu Wanyan ran out of breath, stopped in front of Su Qiu, and gasped while stroking her heaving chest and said, "Su Qiu, you ...... What are you running?"
Su Qiu was silent.
Gu Wanyan thought for a moment and asked, "Aren't you going back to your hometown, what were you doing there just now?" Su Qiu remained silent.
Gu Wanyan was stunned: "You want to enter the palace?"
Su Qiu inadvertently took a small step back: "Second wife, yes, I'm going to enter the palace, what's wrong? I'm no longer from the Gu Mansion, you have no right to interfere with me." ”
The strangeness revealed between Su Qiu's cold words made Gu Wanyan really stunned.
When she was slandered by Liu Fengxian at the beginning, the firm face of the little girl who stood up desperately to help Gu Wanyan defend flashed in Gu Wanyan's mind.
Gu Wanyan suddenly questioned her memory, whether the straightforward and loyal Su Qiu really existed.
But Gu Wanyan still frowned, and said worriedly: "Are you crazy? Do you know what your life will be like after entering the palace? The monthly money you took when you left the Gu Mansion was obviously enough to afford your family's life, why did you enter the palace?"
When Su Qiu heard this, she suddenly sneered: "Second wife, you don't have to be hypocritical anymore - I admit that I was forced to betray you, but if you use my feelings for Dongxue to use me and deceive me, I will not give up easily-Dongxue's revenge, I must avenge it." ”
After speaking, Su Qiu took a deep look at Gu Wanyan and left.
Gu Wanyan was stunned in place, her expression stiffened, her mouth slightly open but she couldn't say half a word.
At this time, there was a sporadic light rain in the sky, which hit her face bit by bit.
==================
Outside the main gate of the palace, the guards were heavily guarded, Gu Wanyan turned back and forth a few times, and she didn't know how to get in, so she could only clench her fists helplessly.
But the truth is, she is a civilian, and the guards certainly can't let her in. So in the end, she got nothing but the white eyes of a few patrol guards.
Gu Wanyan knew that she was indeed too self-conscious, so she had to leave in a huff.
However, she suddenly remembered a place, as if she had regained hope, and then returned to the Gu Mansion first without saying a word.
She returned to Gu's mansion and instructed Yu Jin to help her prepare a car, and she casually picked out a set of Gu Mo's clothes and put them on, her hair was curled high into a man's hairstyle, and she went straight to Hongyue Tower.
Will Loulan really be in the Red Moon Tower? She didn't know, but Gu Mo was not here now, and this was the only way she could find Loulan Zhen.
The Red Moon Building is still singing and dancing, and there is a scene of fireworks and willows. Before the person approached, he already smelled a strong and seductive smell of fat powder, comparable to Gu Wanyan's fragrance.
She looked at the men and women who came in and out of the door with lust, and even had a pair of men and women leaning against the wall wantonly lingering regardless of the eyes of others, and Gu Wanyan blushed for a while.
She asked the coachman to wait for her at the door, and then entered the Red Moon Tower in a hurry.
