Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Request at Night

"If you feel like the kick is light, then it is better to push harder next time. Gu Xiangyi comforted Pomegranate: "A person of his character, God will naturally not let him have a good time, there will be a day when he digs a pit and buries himself." ”

"But what if God doesn't have the time to take care of him?" asked Pomegranate ignorantly.

Gu Xiangyi smiled: "I don't have time to take care of it, I'll take care of it for him, I'll definitely be obedient." ”

The night is very hot and dry, even if it is almost autumn, it is still hot and people are anxious. Gu Xiangyi took the fan handed by the pomegranate, no matter how she fanned it, she didn't feel windy, and she pushed the window open when it was hot, wanting to be cool.

At first glance, she thought she had seen something wrong, there seemed to be a figure at the base of the wall. Take a closer look, well, that's right, it's a figure.

"Come out. Gu Xiangyi said with a cold face.

Yi Jingxiao walked out, and the moonlight sprinkled on his body again, pulling the shadow of the elder.

It was inconvenient to talk in the courtyard, so he simply entered the door.

As soon as he entered the house, he unnaturally remembered that night at Ning's house, and the last time he stayed here for half a night, his face was slightly red, his throat was a little dry, and he coughed twice and explained: "I am passing by." ”

"Did you go to the General's Mansion?" Gu Xiangyi asked.

If he hadn't gone straight to Zhongyibo's mansion, he would have to go to Ning's house and stop by her courtyard to have a look.

Seeing that she saw through it at a glance, Yi Jingxiao didn't have to hide it, and suddenly felt no longer so uncomfortable, took the tea poured by the pomegranate and said, "Yes, I waited there for a while." ”

"What are you going to do?" Gu Xiangyi sat down across from him, his long hair draped down his waist like a waterfall.

The candle flame reflected her delicate face, which made Yi Jingxiao's mouth dry for a while, rubbing her throat unnaturally, raising her head and drinking the tea in the cup, and pausing to answer: "I still don't believe that my old friend is dead, and I think maybe I can go back and find him." ”

Not only did he not believe it, but even Gu Xiangyi himself did not believe it.

In her impression, her brother Ning Shu is always sunny and warm, his kung fu is excellent, ordinary people can't get close to him, and he also understands the Four Books and Five Classics, and he is one of the best existences in the circle of sons in the capital.

But such an excellent person, whose whereabouts are unknown now, is likely to die on the battlefield, and it is also likely to be killed by the emperor's secret letter, or possibly... Alive.

Of course, the last one may be the smallest and the least likely.

Seeing that Yi Jingxiao cared very much about his brother, Gu Xiangyi also let down his guard, raised his hand to fill the teacup for him, and comforted: "General Ning Xiaojiren has his own natural appearance, and he will be fine." ”

"How do you know I'm talking about him?" Yi Jingxiao asked.

"You confessed to me. ”

Well, Yi Jingxiao doesn't remember when he admitted it, was it the last time the Ning family was seven o'clock, or was it a subconscious emotion or a look? He couldn't remember it clearly.

I hope that Ning Shu can really be auspicious, and people have their own natural appearance.

The two of them didn't say anything for a long time, and Pomegranate didn't speak first, sitting on the side and looking at the girl and then at him, somehow they saw the husband and wife?

Secretly shook his head, this idea is too dangerous, get rid of it quickly!

What kind of person is that? That's the prince of Jingde! That's the person who wants to become the prince of Jingde in the future, to put it mildly, not to mention that the identity of the girl in his own house is not recognized by the Gu family, even if they recognize that the girl is the blood of the Gu family, so what? If a concubine who has no background wants to marry the prince of the country, it is basically a fantasy.

And his own girl has not avenged her revenge, and she doesn't want to involve any children, but Pomegranate really thinks that this prince seems to have some interest in the girl.

After a while, Gu Xiangyi broke the silence: "Since you care about the little general of the Ning family very much, please don't give up looking for him." ”

Her ability is too weak now, she has no available people, and she can't compete with the royal family, if Ning Shu is really not dead, she always has to look for it, so it is better to let Yi Jingxiao look for it.

"It's natural to look for it. Yi Jingxiao looked up at her and felt that her emotions didn't seem to be quite right when she mentioned Ning Shu.

The inexplicable feeling seemed to be faintly telling him that the two were in the same camp.

He hesitated for a long time before leaving, but still truthfully told Gu Xiangyi of his intention to come today.

The eldest brother of the Yi family chooses a wife, and now the one in charge of the feed is Fang Yuchun, the mother of the eldest brother Yi Jingyan, and Fang Yuchun plans to hold a chrysanthemum banquet in order to marry a suitable family affair for his son, and invite the sons and girls of the right age in Beijing to see their daughter-in-law and their daughter-in-law.

On the surface, it is a chrysanthemum feast, but in fact, it is a meeting, in which Yi Jingxiao is also forced to be present, after all, their Yi family knows, but other outsiders don't know, he can't be there, otherwise it will arouse suspicion.

And listening to Fang Yuchun and his father's meaning, he intended to choose a marriage partner for him at the chrysanthemum banquet, he really didn't want to get married, so he told Gu Xiangyi that he wanted Gu Xiangyi to be present that day, and if she was there, Yi Jingxiao would choose her, and then Gu Xiangyi would refuse him again.

In this way, Yi Jingxiao's affection was in vain, and when the time came, he would be 'depressed' for a while, and the Yi family would no longer force him to consider getting married.

Hearing this, Gu Xiangyi laughed out loud in surprise and asked, "Are you stupid, you will be laughed at to death." ”

"I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid to spend the rest of my life with people I don't know and don't like. This is Yi Jingxiao's true thoughts.

Gu Xiangyi hesitated: "But I'm afraid, I still have to get married, in case others say that my heart is higher than the sky, and as a concubine, I can't even look down on the prince of the Jingde Mansion, then I will be ridiculed no less than you." ”

Yes, Yi Jingxiao didn't think about this.

"It's me who is abrupt. He wanted to make a move again, but Gu Xiangyi made the first move and blocked him.

"I think about it. ”

If there are indeed few girls in the capital that Yi Jingxiao is familiar with, otherwise he would not ask for a concubine who has never met a few times, but more importantly, Yi Jingxiao thinks that her character is written on her face, clear and easy to understand, and it is different from the girls next to her.

Even if she doesn't help him, she will definitely not harm him.

The next day came, and it was hot and humid all night, and it was raining almost at dawn.

At first, the rain was just like a cow's hair, but then it became heavier and heavier, and the room was very dark for a while, and it was daytime, but it needed a palm lamp to keep the light in the room.

"Looks like it's going to be cold. Pomegranate looked at the rain outside the window and muttered.

An autumn rain and a cold, don't look at it is still hot, it may be cold in a blink of an eye, the autumn tiger comes back again, the weather will be hot again, so repeated for a month, and it will be completely cold down in winter.

On a rainy day, neither of the master and servant left the house, but waited for the kitchen to bring breakfast, and Pomegranate came out with a handkerchief, sat down at the couch and began to do needlework.

Needlework on a rainy day affects eyesight, Gu Xiangyi took away the handkerchief embroidered with a little pattern, and said: "Pick a good day and embroider again, if you don't have bad eyes, come over to eat first." ”

As soon as I opened the food box, there was fresh walnut crisp, a small steamed bun and a small bowl of mutton soup.

It's really just a small bowl, steaming hot on this rainy morning.

It was just like that, Gu Xiangyi still gave some pomegranates, and it wouldn't be like this on other masters, but the two of He Yinju were one in honor and disgrace, and Gu Xiangyi didn't care about those vanities.

The pomegranate was almost only two bites, which was considered a taste, and Gu Xiangyi only had a little left.

The mutton soup is fragrant, there is no smell at all, a few thin slices of mutton are boiled, and some chopped chives are sprinkled on the soup noodles, and the cold of the rainy day is driven away in two bites.

I haven't usually given such a good thing, although the amount is not much, but it is indeed given. Pomegranate faintly felt in her heart that it must be the eldest lady who learned that Jiang Niangzi was scolded, and she was happy in her heart and gave her own girl these mutton soups.

But Gu Xiangyi didn't think so.

Is this a beggar? A small bowl of mutton soup, there are no five mouthfuls? There are only two slices of mutton, except for a few soups that are chopped green onions full of soup noodles, and the fragrance is really good, but it is not so humiliating.

Fu Zhirong and Gu Xiangyi's Liangzi is completely concluded, no matter what reason this soup is sent, it can't change Gu Xiangyi's desire to clean up her heart.

In the Huanxiang Garden, a cup full of mutton soup in front of Fu Zhirong was steaming, and Zhou's mother filled a bowl for her and said, "The slave told Steward Ding to give some of this morning's mutton soup to He Yinju. ”

Fu Zhirong nodded, tasted the soup, and the deliciousness and warmth instantly ironed her tongue: "Those six girls are not stupid now, it will be a matter of the future, and it will be extremely unfavorable for me for Mother Ye to be found." ”

The purpose of arranging for someone to send this soup is very simple, it is nothing more than to beat her and tell her that if you are more peaceful, from now on I will have a bite of meat for you to eat, I am the eldest lady of the family, and you can't shake my status if you are tired, but if you are not alive, then you can't even drink the soup, and I am generous to reward you for washing your feet.

Gu Xiangyi understood what she meant, and felt extremely ridiculed at her thoughts.

killed other people's mothers, and this little profit wants to make people talk about it? Is she really good-natured? Although she is not Song Rongyan's own daughter, she wants to spread this matter on her own daughter, and she will not take Fu Zhirong's overtures seriously.

This is a weak heart, and I want to leak some benefits from between my fingers to her, so that she will not go against herself again for the sake of a better life.

The walnut crisp is not greasy to eat, the sweetness is moderate, dense and dense, you don't need to think about it to know that it is a good thing, Gu Xiangyi is not polite, and the two of them work together to win it all.

In the morning, the sky was a little sunny, and Pomegranate took out the handkerchief again to continue embroidering, Gu Xiangyi asked what pattern she wanted to embroider, and she said to embroider plum blossoms.

Plum blossom is Song Rongyan's favorite flower, remember that when Song was still alive, every winter to fold some red plum and white plum in the bottle, over time the pomegranate will vaguely understand, she does not like plum blossoms, but yearn for plum blossoms of the arrogance.
