Shen Jinyan walked out with a pale face.

The blood stain on his right hand was unusually striking.

"Childe, why is your hand injured!" Gu Fu was shocked: "The slave will call the military doctor to come over and bandage the child's wounds." ”

"No need. Shen Jinyan said in a low voice: "I want to be quiet alone, you step back first!"

Gu Fu was stunned again.

In this trance, Shen Jinyan has already gone away.

Gu Fu was about to catch up, but Gu Jinxing sent someone to summon him in for questioning. Gu Fu had no choice but to take the order into the house.

Gu Fu is the son of Gu Song, the housekeeper of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and Gu Jinxing are of the same age, they have known each other since childhood, and they grew up together. Although there is a difference between master and servant, they are very familiar with each other.

Gu Jinxing didn't go around the bush, and asked bluntly: "You have been following the fourth brother, do you know which lady he admires in his heart?"

Gu Fu: "......"

Gu Fu, who was clever and sleek, couldn't react for a while, and his expression suddenly stiffened.

The entanglement between Shen Jinyan and Gu Guanqi is known to very few people. He happened to be one of them......

Seeing Gu Fu's reaction, Gu Jinxing became more and more suspicious in his heart, and a vague and terrifying conjecture suddenly swept through his heart.

He stared at Gu Fu tightly and asked in a deep voice, "What do you know, come quickly!"

Gu Fu's whole body was agitated, and he quickly came back to his senses, and flatly denied: "The general misunderstood. Minions don't know anything!"

Gu Jinxing snorted coldly: "Gu Fu, don't shake off your cleverness in front of me." If you don't tell the truth, I will order someone to beat you with a hundred boards. ”

The fierce threat did not scare Gu Fu. However, Gu Jinxing's attitude is so tough, it is not okay not to tell the truth today.

Gu Fu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "This was four years ago......"

……

It's not a long story, but it's a matter of moments.

Gu Jinxing's whole body stiffened, and he didn't know what expression to squeeze out on his face.

Shen Jinyan...... Qi Wan'er......

What kind of evil fate is this!

Could it be that God is punishing the Gu family?

Gu Fu said with red eyes: "In the past three years, Shen Gongzi has never mentioned Fourth Miss. However, the slave knew that Gongzi had been thinking about the fourth miss in his heart. ”

"Once the sea was difficult to water. In this life, I am afraid that I will not get married again, and I will be lonely for the rest of my life. ”

After a pause, Gu Fu said in a low voice: "Gongzi has said before that the Shen family only has his bloodline. He will never become his own son, so that the Shen family's bloodline will be cut off. ”

Gu Jinxing's whole body shook slightly, and his eyes were indescribably complicated.

After a long time, Gu Jinxing said: "Don't tell the fourth brother what you said to me today." ”

Gu Fu responded, and when he withdrew, his back was already covered in cold sweat.

……

This night, it was not only Shen Jinyan who couldn't sleep all night, but also Gu Jinxing.

The two brothers were full of their own hearts, and in the next few days, they tacitly avoided each other for a few days. After five or six days, when they met again, the two of them were back to normal, talking and laughing as usual.

It was as if the events of that night had never happened.

Time flies, and two months pass.

On the day of Shen Jinyan's birthday, he happened to receive a letter from Gu Guanning. The letter was accompanied by a stack of medical books and a few carts of medicinal herbs.

Sure enough, it's my own sister! The gift is so much to his liking.

Shen Jinyan opened the letter with a smile.

Since my brother-in-law's illness was cured and he cheekily coaxed my sister back to her heart, the husband and wife have been like honey blending oil, and they are very affectionate. Shen Jinyan was far away at the border and could not witness it with his own eyes, but he often received letters from Gillian and Yi's sisters and brothers. The two siblings mentioned in the letter that they were obsessed with each other.

Especially Ah Yi, who has a lot of resentment. I often read in the letter: My father often handed over the recital to me for review, and then went to accompany my mother to enjoy the moon and flowers.

Every time he sees such a letter, Shen Jinyan always shows a knowing smile.

His sister is the closest person in the world.

He only hopes that his sister will have a happy and smooth life, and there will be no more twists and turns.

Gu Guanning didn't like to say much, even if he wrote a letter, he only said a few words.

As usual, she inquired with concern about his recent life, and at the end of the letter, it was quite tactfully implied that he was twenty-three years of age, and that if he was lonely, she would choose a family for him that he would like.

Shen Jinyan wrote a reply.

“…… Sister, I have received your letter. I'm doing well in the border army, so don't worry about my sister. ”

"I study medicine every day and treat the soldiers in the army, and I am not alone. I have resolved never to marry a wife in my life. My sister doesn't have to worry about this anymore. ”

Gu Wanqi's pretty and bright smile suddenly appeared in front of him, and Shen Jinyan felt a pain in his heart.

It has been nearly four years since they were separated, and her smile is still deeply engraved in his heart. It has not faded with the passage of time.

The tip of the pen rests on the paper for a moment, and a drop of ink falls.

It was like tears in his heart, quietly flowing out.

……

Since then, Gu Guanning's letter has never mentioned the matter of getting married.

Shen Jinyan still lives a lonely and peaceful life.

Every time Cui Junyao ordered someone to send delicious food, Gu Jinxing still called Shen Jinyan to drink, but he never asked Shen Jinyan if he was marrying a wife.

Time passed slowly, and it was another cold winter.

This year's winter was exceptionally cold, and there were two snowfalls in a row at the border.

Fortunately, the imperial court sent enough cotton clothes and food to the army in time, and the soldiers had cotton clothes to keep out the cold, and there was enough food to keep them fed, and there were not many sick people.

However, many people in the border cities were frozen to death, and countless people were severely frostbitten.

Gu Jinxing was worried about the people, and allocated part of the military rations for disaster relief. Shen Jinyan led more than 100 military doctors to work hard to treat the frostbitten people.

In just a few days, more than half of the army's medicinal materials were consumed, and several truckloads of medicinal materials sent by the palace were also used up.

If this continues, the army's reserves of medicinal materials will be greatly scarce.

It was cold and frozen, so I sent a letter to the capital to ask for medicinal materials, but I couldn't catch up.

Shen Jinyan was so anxious that the corners of his mouth frothed, and he came to Gu Jinxing to discuss: "...... Now, what should I do?"

These days, Shen Jinyan goes out early and returns late every day, his face is tired, and he has lost a lot of weight. The elegant and calm noble man's bearing on his body is also gone, and he looks quite embarrassed.

Gu Jinxing glanced at Shen Jinyan, and suddenly said, "Why don't you go to the shower and change clothes first?"

Shen Jinyan: "......"

Shen Jinyan was stunned.

Gu Jinxing cleared his throat and said, "I have good news for you. A wealthy businesswoman came to the border and brought 30 carts of grain and 10 carts of medicinal herbs. ”

Shen Jinyan couldn't believe it, and was pleasantly surprised: "This is true, big brother, you didn't lie to me, right?"

This is simply a relief in the snow, and it solves the urgent needs of the border city.

"Of course it's true. Gu Jinxing said: "The rich female businessman wants to see you." ”

Shen Jinyan: "......"

Shen Jinyan realized it later, and he also heard that something was wrong.

What rich businesswoman, why do you insist on seeing him?

Gu Jinxing glanced at Shen Jinyan meaningfully, and then turned to leave.

Shen Jinyan's heartbeat suddenly increased.

The door was pushed open again, and a young woman in her twenties walked in.
