Chapter 45: The Past

By the time they had packed their bags, it was already getting a little dark. Chunsheng took out the tea leaves he brought and sealed them, and then put them in the cabinet. The cold in the room has not dissipated for a long time, probably because no one has lived in it for a long time, and the warmth will end in a moment, and it can't be accumulated.

Su Qingwan walked to the window, and stroked the dark red paint on the window edge, a few places have been worn off, revealing a light wood color, and the carving on the tail is also a little white.

It seems like some years.

It happened that Zhang's mother came upstairs with refreshments, "Downstairs is Zhang Luo dinner, if you are hungry, eat some snacks first." ”

Chunsheng exclaimed, and immediately stepped forward quickly, "It's still Zhang's mother who thinks thoughtfully." She raised her hand and touched her stomach and complained to Zhang's mother, "I'm going to be hungry." Zhang's mother immediately smiled and picked up the snacks and handed them to her, "Come on, eat some cushions." ”

Su Qingwan turned around and sat down, took a piece of dim sum in his hand, looked up at Zhang's mother and asked, "Is this house also the second master's?"

Zhang's mother turned her head to look around in silence, her expression faintly showed a little nostalgia, and she said after a while.

"This is where the second master grew up. ”

She said and took two steps to the window, looked out the window and said, "The location of this house was personally chosen by the eldest lady back then, and it was said to be clean." ”

Su Qingwan turned her head to look at Zhang's mother's back, thinking that when she first came, she saw the neatly arranged flowers and trees in the courtyard, the sense of delicacy everywhere in the room, and even the scenery behind the window seemed to have been carefully selected.

A woman who can take care of a house with such care must have placed very good expectations on it.

"The eldest lady is happy to be quiet, when she first got married, the old man and his wife had a good relationship, and the old man often accompanied his wife back to live, and the wife was always smiling during that time. Zhang's mother smiled as she spoke, and began to sigh after laughing, in a very regretful tone, "But since the old man met the sixth aunt, he has lived in Nanjing for a long time...... Later, so did the second master. Except for his wife's death day, he never came back. ”

The room was quiet for a while, and even Chunsheng was silent and did not speak. Su Qingwan quietly looked up at the window, but it was only jet black, and she couldn't see anything.

Probably influenced by Zhang's mother, at dinner, Su Qingwan subconsciously glanced at Gu Shaoting a few more times. He was still expressionless, and the well-tailored dark suit seemed to blend in with him, and she suddenly understood the reason why he was wearing black, which was really suitable.

Unexpectedly, after eating, he pulled her out, and the winter night was cold and heavy, and she was wrapped in a thick-collared coat, still feeling that the cold was constantly rushing in.

Gu Shaoting turned his back to her, and there were several lanterns hanging under the eaves of the house, the light was not strong, and the shadows were blurry. Su Qingwan called softly, "Second master......"

Gu Shaoting turned around and looked at her with a smile on her face, but his voice was very affirmative, "You have been looking at me just now." Su Qingwan was stunned, and after a while, he lowered his head in a hurry. Gu Shaoting raised his eyebrows, and he didn't delve into it, took a step closer and pulled her slightly cold hand, took off his leather gloves and put them on for her, "Your eyes tell me that you have a question for me." ”

Su Qingwan's gaze went down, and she inevitably saw that he was holding her hand, Su Qingwan pursed her lips before raising her eyes to look at him, "What was the second master thinking when he was eating just now?"

Although his expression was the same as usual when he finished eating, the light in his eyes was cold. Gu Shaoting helped her put on her gloves, and after thinking for a while, he looked at her and replied, "I'm thinking about someone." Su Qingwan could vaguely guess who the person he was talking about was, so she tried to persuade, "If it is the past person, then the second master doesn't have to worry too much......

"Looks like you already know. Gu Shaoting was not very surprised, but smiled lightly, he looked at her and said, "Qingjuan, in fact, my mother, like you, is a gentle and understanding woman, she is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she is a famous lady who is second to none. ”

The wind blew in the middle of the night, the lantern above her head flickered twice, the light became more unclear, and Gu Shaoting's smile slowly faded, "But in the later period of time, she became very sensitive, and her temper changed unpredictably." Su Qingwan tightened her collar and frowned slightly, "Is it really because of that sixth aunt?"

Hearing this name, Gu Shaoting's eyes were cold, "If it weren't for what she said to my mother back then, those means would not have ...... in the end" He didn't finish speaking, just smiled bitterly, "My mother regards her feelings for her father as life, so losing her father's love is an unbearable thing for her." But I didn't expect it...... She would have killed herself. ”

Gu Shaoting closed his eyes and sighed, turned to look into the deep darkness into the distance, there was a bit of sadness in his eyes that could not be concealed, "I can't understand what she did, and I can't forgive her." So I didn't know how to face her. ”

The night was silent, except for the occasional sound of the wind. Su Qingwan looked at Gu Shaoting's back, and a bitter smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

They are so alike.

In fact, why is she not like this, she can't understand and can't forgive. Back then, her mother ruthlessly left her behind, and her father was seriously ill and his days were numbered. She was so frightened that she could barely sleep a single restful night's sleep, but by now, everything had faded.

Gu Shaoting was hidden in the dark, and his whole body was cold. Su Qingwan reached out and took off his gloves, stepped forward to hold his cold hand with his warm hand, and asked softly, "Then I decided to come back here again today, but the second master is relieved?"

Gu Shaoting clenched her hand, slowly turned around to look at her, and finally showed a real smile, "Although I am not completely relieved, but ...... But it's much easier. ”

Su Qingwan stood in place and smiled shallowly, as if he really understood him. The tip of her nose was a little red from the cold, but her eyebrows and eyes were still clear, and she looked up at him intently.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and a long strand of hair scattered in the wind also hit her cheeks, and it was so beautiful in the light.

Gu Shaoting's heart moved, he stepped forward and lifted his coat and hugged her whole person into his arms, with a rare trace of tenderness in his slow and low voice, "Qingwan, you are by my side at the moment, so these things are not the most important." ”
