Chapter 9 Love has been deeply rooted
Yan Xiaoqiao suddenly felt heart-wrenching sadness in her dream, she didn't understand where this sadness came from, this sadness didn't seem to have anything to do with her life, but a kind of heartache that was born with tears. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info she walked in the clouds in a trance, and every step forward, her heart was like a knife...... What's wrong with me? As soon as she panicked, her feet were light, and the person fell. When I woke up, I found myself in a room that was both familiar and unfamiliar. Looking at the curtain above her head, she also knew that this could not be the kitchen where she slept herself, but why was the familiar faint scent of plants and trees so familiar?
Raising his eyes, he dimly saw a figure in white, a peerless face smiling at him.
"Male fairy, you save me?" Yan Xiaoqiao sat up.
"Little Joe, you're awake. "A familiar voice rang in my ears.
Only then did I see that the person in front of me was Gu Chen.
Just now, Yan Xiaoqiao seemed to think that the white-clothed immortal was Gu Chen. Probably because I was in a daze...... Yan Xiaoqiao thought to herself.
Looking around, it was indeed Gu Chen's house.
"Brother Gu, thank you for saving me. ”
Yan Xiaoqiao lifted the quilt and sat up. I remember that I should have an injury on my body, but why doesn't it hurt at all now......? As soon as his face turned red, he wanted to turn over and get out of bed.
"Don't get busy, you can rest for a while. Gu Chen pressed her shoulder.
"But ......" Yan Xiaoqiao looked out the window and exclaimed, "Ah, it's dawning outside, why didn't my aunt call me, what should I do with the noodle stall?" As soon as the words came out, she smiled dumbly again, and said in frustration, "I'm so stupid, I forgot that my aunt had sold me." ”
"Don't think about those things anymore, it's all in the past. Gu Chen touched her head with his hand, "Look, what is this?"
Yan Xiaoqiao looked down and saw that it was a scroll. When it was opened, there was an immortal caressing the qin, Yan Xiaoqiao looked at the poem on the painting again, and read word by word: "Jin Se has fifty strings for no reason, one string and one pillar Si Hua Nian." Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and hopes that the emperor will trust the cuckoo in spring. There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking. This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time. ”
After reading it, Yan Xiaoqiao blushed and whispered, "I don't understand much." ”
Gu Chen smiled: "You can read all the words, you have made rapid progress." You are still young, and you will understand the meaning of this poem in the future. ”
Yan Xiaoqiao nodded, and then asked, "Why is the immortal in the painting facing away from us?"
Gu Chen said: "I painted a friend from my hometown, but I haven't seen him for a long time, I can't remember his appearance clearly, I just remember that he is very good at playing the piano and composing poems, with his blessing, you will definitely be able to study and improve." ”
Yan Xiaoqiao was puzzled: "Is it your friend in Gongyue City, why can he bless me with my progress in reading?"
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, it was he who negligently said that he had leaked his mouth, and quickly explained: "This...... That's right, this man is our talent, and he can be an example for him to follow, to see more, to touch his aura. Many of our children worship his portraits when they read. ”
"Oh, I see, just like the Sage Confucius here, right?"
"Count...... Right. ”
Yan Xiaoqiao smiled slightly: "Thank you Brother Gu, I will definitely collect it well." ”
"I have one more gift for you. ”
"What?"
A piece of white ancient jade appeared in Gu Chen's palm. The jade was white and flawless, as beautiful as the bright moon in the sky.
"It's such a beautiful jade, it's too precious, Xiao Qiao doesn't dare to accept it. ”
Gu Chen ignored her and put it directly around her neck, "This is the jade I brought from my hometown, you must wear it well, don't fall off, you know?"
"But ......"
"Don't be, don't you appreciate Big Brother Gu's intentions?"
Yan Xiaoqiao had no choice but to bite her lower lip and nodded slightly.
Gu Chen smiled happily at this time.
Yan Xiaoqiao raised his head: "By the way, what about my aunt?"
Gu Chen put away her smiling face: "I don't know, she came back late last night and never went out." ”
"I want to see her. ”
Gu Chen nodded: "Okay, I'll accompany you." ”
The two came to the front yard outside Aunt Bai's room, Yan Xiaoqiao looked up and knocked on the door, the door was not locked at all, and it opened as soon as they touched. Aunt Bai sat on the ground with her hair scattered, and when she saw Yan Xiaoqiao, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
"Auntie. Yan Xiaoqiao called her.
Aunt Bai opened her mouth and looked at Yan Xiaoqiao in surprise. "You, you still call me Auntie?"
Yan Xiaoqiao didn't answer her words, but asked, "What about that person?" She was referring to Zheng Butcher.
Aunt Bai said hatefully: "That bastard took a hundred taels and wanted to turn over, and he lost all the bets and ran away overnight." I hated that we had been cheated out of our savings! I stopped him, and he beat us...... That bastard also said that he would continue the string, it's all a lie!" Aunt Bai touched the red mark on her face.
Yan Xiaoqiao said with a straight face: "Forget it, I don't want to know about you and him, I only know that selling me, you are not voluntary." ”
"Xiao Qiao!" Aunt Bai stepped forward to take her hand, but Yan Xiaoqiao took a step back and avoided her hand.
"I was brought up by you, and your identity will always be my aunt, but there are some things to be made clear, since you have sold me, from now on, I will no longer belong to you. Brother Gu spent a lot of money last night to save me, and we can't pay it back in our lifetime. Yan Xiaoqiao said word by word.
Aunt Bai looked at Gu Chen in surprise and then at Yan Xiaoqiao, her heart full of questions. "Who is this son?"
"He's the scholar who lives in our backyard. ”
Gu Chen looked down at Yan Xiaoqiao, he had never seen such a serious expression on Yan Xiaoqiao's face.
"Auntie, I'm sixteen, and I'm no longer your property, I'm my own. I will continue to take care of you and my sisters, but the money we earn can't be given to anyone else, and I can't pay it off for the rest of my life that I owe Brother Gu, and every penny I can earn in the future, I must pay back Brother Gu first. Yan Xiaoqiao said.
After she said that, she turned her head to look at Gu Chen and said, "Brother Gu, in the future, in addition to the money earned by the noodle stall for you, I will also help you with laundry and cooking, so you should ask me to do a long-term job." Even so, I don't think I'll be able to pay off the debt I owe you in this life. But that's the only thing I can do. ”
It turned out that Yan Xiaoqiao's heart was so strong! Gu Chen secretly felt admiration in his heart. Then he began to be disappointed inexplicably, Xiao Qiao's heart was actually thinking about paying off his debts, which was obviously treating him as an outsider. Where would he ask him to pay his debts, as long as he stayed with him in peace. Gu Chen was taken aback by his own thoughts.
Aunt Bai was stunned for a long time, and said ashamedly: "What else can I say now, I'm sorry for you, what will happen in the future, it's up to you." ”
The world is unpredictable.
The king butcher was caught that night by the people of the gambling house, cut off a hand, gouged out an eye, and then he disappeared.
Jueyan Willow originally had a way to deal with the official silver, but who knew that it happened that the old patron was investigated for corruption in the Ministry of Rites, and even caught the private collection of official silver in Jueyan Liu, the store was sealed, and Boss Liu was also assigned to the army.
As the so-called reincarnation of heaven, good and evil are rewarded.
Since Gu Chen invited Yan Xiaoqiao, a "long-term worker", he has become even more homely. His work and rest time is later than normal, he gets up at noon to eat, walks in the afternoon, and waits for Yan Xiaoqiao to come back to read books with him at night. Yan Xiaoqiao's reading time was also postponed at night, and he always helped him clean his room, fetch water and make tea first...... couldn't persuade her, so Gu Chen simply went with her. With the lovely little Joe waiting by his side, the days of the house are extremely nourishing.
But one day when he saw Xiao Qiao hanging his calligraphy and paintings on the kitchen wall, Gu Chen's doting emotions began to flood again.
When Yan Xiaoqiao came to clean up in the evening, Gu Chen said, "Why don't you just move in with me." ”
"No, it's inconvenient. Yan Xiaoqiao didn't raise his head, concentrating on wiping the table.
"What's so inconvenient about two men. Aren't you my long-term worker? I find it sometimes inconvenient to call you. Don't all the long-term workers live in the master's house?" "Gu Chen didn't dare to say that I felt distressed when you lived in the kitchen, so it wouldn't scare Xiao Qiao away."
"Our yard is so small, you can call me if you have something. I can hear you. Yan Xiaoqiao still ignored him.
"Ahem," Gu Chen threw away his self-esteem, "I've been in a hurry lately, and it's good that someone hands a night pot or something." ”
When Yan Xiaoqiao heard him say this, he immediately threw away the rag, touched his forehead and said: "Brother Gu, don't worry, hurry up and find a doctor to see, the old man of the blacksmith shop opposite is like this, it is said that he was in a hurry at night, and then he couldn't pee, and he looked at many doctors, and they all said that it was difficult to treat it for a long time." ”
Gu Chen grinned: "Uh, is it? I also have the old man's illness." I'll go to see the doctor tomorrow. ”
Yan Xiaoqiao said with a concerned face: "Then I'll sleep in the living room tonight, Brother Gu is so pitiful, why do good people have this disease." Call me at night if you feel unwell, and I'll go to the doctor. ”
In the middle of the night, Otaku lost sleep again. It's amazing, in the past few months of acquaintance with Yan Xiaoqiao, he has actually suffered from insomnia three times. The first time was the night he took Xiao Qiao to read a book, the second time was the night he rescued Xiao Qin from the Smoke Willow, and then tonight, he almost had no sleep all night.
Hearing Gu Chen's voice tossing and turning, Yan Xiaoqiao, who was sleeping in the living room outside, shouted, "Brother Gu, do you want it?"
"It's fine. ”
After a while, "Brother Gu, how's it going?"
"It's fine. ”
After another while, Gu Chen was still tossing and turning. Yan Xiaoqiao ran in: "Big brother, are you very uncomfortable, I'll go find a doctor for you!"
"Wait," Gu Chen grabbed his hand. A turning force made Yan Xiaoqiao stand unsteadily, and he turned around and fell right on Gu Chen's body. The two were eye to eye and nose to nose, smelling each other's hot breathing, and Gu Chen's heart began to beat wildly again.
Yan Xiaoqiao reached out and touched his forehead: "Brother Gu, do you have a fever, your forehead is very hot." ”
"Hehe, it's fine. I just have insomnia, so I don't need to call a doctor. Gu Chen laughed dryly.
"Why do you have insomnia, by the way, you don't seem to have a night rush tonight, have you reached the level of the blacksmith grandfather......?
Gu Chen moved inside to make some room, "I can't sleep anyway, let's talk about it for a while." ”
"Well, no. Although Yan Xiaoqiao has always dressed as a man, she still knows in her heart that men and women must not lie on the same bed.
"What's wrong?" Gu Chen was a little lost.
"I'm not used to sleeping with people...... You know I sleep alone in the kitchen. Yan Xiaoqiao was afraid that he would be unhappy, so he had nothing to say: "Big brother, you look very healthy on weekdays, how could you get this disease?"
Where did Gu Chen know, so he had to say casually: "Don't worry, I'm not the blacksmith's grandfather's disease, I'm just an old problem when I was a child, and I'll be fine in a few days." ”
Yan Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "Brother Gu, why don't you tell me the story of your childhood, as well as the story of your hometown Gongyue City, I have never heard of you." ”
"My house? It's a long way away. ”
"How far?"
"It's far, far away, and people can't get there in a lifetime. ”
"Then how did you come to Chang'an?"
"Okay, be careful of the cold, go back to sleep. Gu Chen rubbed her head, "I'll have the opportunity to tell you the story of Gongyue City in the future." ”
