The name of that shop is Gelluxiang.

When she heard the name of the shop, Gu Xiangyi's hand paused, and the fine rosewood brush fell to the ground, and the ink stained her skirt.

Pomegranate hurriedly picked up the brush: "Girl, what's the matter?"

"Nothing. Gu Xiangyi settled down: "I'll go next door and take a look." ”

The storefront of Ning Lu Xiang is not large, similar to the Lingbi Zhai, and the signboard on the door face is carved with a budding begonia flower, although the begonia flower is carved from wood, but it is extraordinarily real, and it looks like a real flower of earth brown.

"Is your owner here?" she asked tentatively.

"The owner is not here. The miscellaneous man was busy wiping the table, and took the time to raise his head and smile at her: "You are the proprietor of the Xuanbi Zhai next door, right?

Gu Xiangyi smiled faintly: "I can't afford it, I want to ask more, is your owner a man or a woman?"

"The owner of our family is a girl, about the same age as you, and it is also an inheritance from the family, but the family is not in the capital. ”

In just one sentence, Gu Xiangyi's footsteps seemed to have taken root, and he was a little reluctant to leave when he stood in Ning Luxiang's shop, and asked again at the counter: "Then what is your owner's surname?"

Pomegranate didn't understand why her girl was so curious about a shop that had just opened, and she didn't know why she was curious about a girl she had never seen before.

The miscellaneous person was even more puzzled, and after looking Gu Xiangyi up and down, and making sure that she didn't look like a bad person, he replied: "It seems to be surnamed Bai, right? I haven't met the owner a few times, and I don't know much about her." ”

He said this on purpose, because he didn't want Gu Xiangyi to continue asking.

But just such a short white word made Gu Xiangyi's figure shake, his hand suddenly grasped the pomegranate, and he said incoherently: "She is here!"

"Who?" said Pomegranate, who didn't hear clearly.

Gu Xiangyi patted her hand: "Let's talk about it later." ”

In the pen room, Gu Xiangyi sat on a chair, quietly looking at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him, and picked up a brush with slender jade fingers and wrote the words white condensation on the rice paper.

The Bai family is the maiden family of Ning Chu's mother, and Bai Ninglu was born to Ning Chu's uncle.

Looking at the slightly dazzling three words on the paper, Gu Xiangyi's eyes narrowed slightly, remembering a long time ago. 's mother died early, and the Bai family and the Ning family didn't have much contact, because of the death of their mother, the Bai family had some resentment towards their father, but Bai Ninglu was different, she still had a close relationship with Ning Chu.

The first queen came from the Ning family, and the Bai family, who was married to the Ning family, naturally provoked the fear of King Ye and others, before the accident in the Ning family, the Bai family was framed for disloyalty to the monarch, Ning Yuanjiang left the capital and went to the Bai family in person, rescued the old and the young, and the whole family, but Ning Chu's uncle died in the chaos.

There are people in the Bai family who are in business and there are also officials who are officials, and those who are officials are killed, but those who are in business survive. Bai Ninglu's father took the road of business, presumably after their Bai family suffered this catastrophe, Bai Ninglu revitalized the family style, used better than the money, not only survived with the clansmen, but also opened a shop in the capital.

It's just that what is she doing in the capital to open a shop? As far as Gu Xiangyi knows, they don't have any business in the capital.

So she told Aunt Zhao that as long as she saw Ning Luxiang's owner coming, she must send someone to tell her.

After leaving Xuanbi Zhai, Gu Xiangyi did not go home, but went to find Jiang Yan. She wanted to see her brother so much, she didn't know how Ning Shu was doing now, if she knew that she was still alive, he would be very happy.

But thinking of this, Gu Xiangyi suddenly paused.

yes, how could anyone believe such a thing? Even she couldn't figure out what it was all about.

Jiang Yan opened the door for the master and servant, welcomed them in, stretched out his hand to untie his cloak and put it on for her, and said with concern: "It's been cold these days, why are you still coming out? ”

Gu Xiangyi smiled: "It's not for you." ”

After rolling his eyes, Jiang Yan said helplessly: "It's for Brother Xiaoshu, right?"

"If it's really my good brother, everything is close to me!" Gu Xiangyi touched Jiang Yan's face: "Take me quickly, I was very careful when I came, I didn't let people see it, and I wouldn't reveal his whereabouts." ”

"That being said, I'd love to see you too. Jiang Shi said: "But you also know that Brother Xiao Shu was rescued by Yi Jingxiao, and now Yi Jingxiao has arranged a place to live, after the last assassination of Yuan Dong failed, Yi Jingxiao was a little worried, and said to Brother Xiao Shu that he was not allowed to come out again in the near future, I dare not rush to find him, I am afraid that it is not a good opportunity at this time." ”

He made everything clear, and Gu Xiangyi understood. She doesn't force it, anyway, no matter how long it takes, there will always be a day when she sees her brother.

She asked, "How was my brother last time I saw him?"

"Brother Xiaoshu, like you, worries about revenge all day long, loses a lot of weight, and is depressed. ”

This is natural, just after a big victory over the enemy army, after turning around and escaping the clutches of death, I learned that all my family members had died, who could feel good on whom?

Ning Chu died in the Yewang Mansion, but Ning Shu did not die, and he has experienced no less than Gu Xiangyi these days.

"Does my brother know I'm still alive?"

Jiang Yan nodded: "I know, I told him, but I didn't say your current identity." ”

If you don't see a real person, no one will believe you even if you say it.

Gu Xiangyi pondered for a while, but decided to tell his own business: "We have a new shop next door to Xuanbi Zhai, called Ning Lu Xiang, do you know Bai Ning Lu?"

"I know, I've seen her coming, the daughter of my aunt and brother. Jiang Yan's tone changed abruptly: "Didn't the Bai family fall a while ago? That dog emperor bullied the weak first, and only attacked the Ning family after moving the Bai family, dog thief!"

Pomegranate poured two hot teas for the two of them, Gu Xiangyi didn't drink it, just held the tea in his hand to keep warm; "The Bai family doesn't know much about the affairs of the capital, and the officials of the Bai family are all foreign appointments, so Cao Xin did not kill the Bai family, even if they can't be officials, they still have shops to operate, and the assets of the Bai family that have been inherited for hundreds of years will not be less." ”

"Does that sister suspect that the shop was opened by Bai Ninglu? What is she doing in the capital? Why is this happening?"

The questions Jiang Yan asked were all doubts in Gu Xiangyi's heart.

She also wanted to know why, and she also wanted to know what the shop had to do with the white condensation.

In recent days, the snow has been falling non-stop, and the rooftops and treetops are covered with a layer of frost. Gu Xiangyi stood in front of the window, stretched out his hand and pushed the window open, the cold wind mixed with the cool blowing in from the window, the startled Qiu Tao put down the things in his hand and hurriedly closed the window.

"The girl is just sick, but don't catch the wind again, you are weak now!"
