What day is June 21st.

The red note in He Xiaoge's hand gave the answer.

Pingnan waits for his birthday.

The season of joy is the most lively, and it is also the time when it is most likely to breed trouble.

Thinking about He Xiaoge's behavior a few times, Gu Nan also had a rough idea in his heart, and raised his eyes to look at He Xiaoge again, the latter looked back with a calm expression.

"You say, what does He Xiaocheng want to do?" Gu Nan raised his eyebrows.

Although the words were questioned, the tone was very brisk. Looking at him like this, He Xiaoge's eyes softened, and he stepped forward to look at Nan's soft hair affectionately and smiled.

He rarely smiled, and the curvature of his lips fell into Gu Nan's eyes for a moment, as if spring flowers were blooming, and the ripples were incomprehensible.

Such a smile should be guarded for a lifetime.

Thinking of this, the corners of Gu Nan's lips hooked, and he reached out to hold He Xiaoge's hand and put it on his cheek, his eyebrows and eyes curled.

Pingnan's birthday is approaching, and the Hou Mansion is soon busy.

He Xiaoge and Gu Nan temporarily moved back to the Hou Mansion, and they were idle every day and watched the busy surroundings, making tea and light wine by themselves, and looking very chic.

At first, the Qin clan also sent people to test them, but seeing that they were just nesting in the courtyard cooking wine and writing poems, they gradually lost their vigilance, leaving only a few people to report their whereabouts at all times, and let them go.

In the end, the surveillance also tended to dissipate, so no one noticed that when there were still seven days before the birthday, a man in Tsing Yi quietly entered the Hou Mansion and left quietly with a letter.

Three days later, the Pingnan Hou Mansion received news that the old man He, who had already returned to his hometown and looked at Xianyun and did not care about the world, was going to come to preside over his birthday.

What kind of person is Old Man He, most of the younger generation in the capital don't know it now, but if you push it forward for another twenty years, I'm afraid everyone will know his name.

The decades when he was the head of the family were the most glorious time for Pingnan Houfu.

Although he has returned to his hometown now, as long as he is willing, Pingnan Houfu is still his place.

For Old Man He, Pingnanhou is more respectful and fearful than close.

Therefore, when I learned the news, I was shocked and overjoyed, and there was a lot of panic mixed with it. On that day, the Pingnan Hou Mansion was busy again, Gu Nan and He Xiaoge sat under the tree drinking tea and playing a game, occasionally looking back at the people hurrying by the gate of the courtyard, and smiled slightly.

In the rainy June capital, on the day of Pingnanhou's birthday, it was a rare sunny day.

The red silk was hung early outside the Hou Mansion, and it looked very festive from a distance. This kind of day is naturally inevitably polite and flattering, and Ping Nanhou smiled in the crowd, extremely happy.

At noon, Old Man He arrived.

Hearing the report, Pingnanhou immediately took a large family out to greet him. The old man was used to being wanton in the countryside, wearing green clothes and cloth shoes at will, but even so, Ping Nanhou, who was dressed in brocade clothes, stood in front of him, and his momentum was still a little weaker.

"Father." Pingnan Hou bowed his head with the Qin family, and the juniors also bowed down and called their grandfather.

The old man hummed lightly, stepped forward but walked to He Xiaoge's side first: "I heard about your mother, don't be too sad." ”

He Xiaoge lowered his eyes and said yes, Old Man He looked at his calm face and sighed silently in his heart.

This kid is rare and affectionate, and he really doesn't look like anyone in this Pingnanhou Mansion.

He Xiaoge's heart was not particularly calm at this time.

He has some impressions of Old Man He, when he was a child, when the head of the Pingnan Hou Mansion was still Old Man He, compared to his only son and grandson, the old man was most interested in seeing He Xiaoge, who was born in the concubine's room. Back then, with the protection of the head of the family, He Xiaoge and Mrs. Ning had a good life, but later the old man stepped down as the head of the family and returned to the field, and since then it has only been the past.

Old man He didn't see the wrong person, He Xiaoge is indeed a person in love.

So it was that little bit of goodness when he was young, and He Xiaoge never forgot it.

It's just a pity that it's too late.

He Xiaoge frowned and was silent, the old man looked at him deeply, turned his head to look at Pingnanhou and Qin, whose faces were not very good, and his eyebrows wrinkled quietly: "Go in." ”

No matter what is in your heart, at this time, the face is always happy.

The guests and hosts are in the same hall, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and appreciating the gonghou together.

After noon, guests are taken to their rooms for a short rest, and the servants clean up the mess in the front hall, and by the afternoon, it will be a different scene.

This time it is said that it is the birthday of Pingnan Hou, but it is still determined by the preference of Old Man He.

The old man was born in Ronghua, and he only loves two things in his life, one is the Jin Ge Iron Horse, and the other is the spring dawn of the pear garden.

Pingnanhou specially invited the most prestigious troupe in the capital, everyone sat under the stage and listened, the tone was tactful, the drama was soft, and the water sleeves were flying and the eyes flowed, which was the most wonderful color.

The old man listened with a pleasant expression, and occasionally hummed a few words along with the drama above, looking very happy.

Gu Nan and He Xiaoge sat behind him and raised their eyes to look at the stage above, and glanced at each other for a long time, Gu Nan bowed slightly, got up and quietly retreated.

When I went out and turned to the garden, I saw the willow pavilion, and on the stone steps of the pavilion stood a person dressed in royal blue clothes, looking at Gu Nan with a smile on the corner of his mouth and raising his eyebrows, it was He Xiaocheng.

Seeing Gu Nan, he walked down the steps slowly, stretched out his hand and wanted to pat Gu Nan on the shoulder: "It's here." ”

Gu Nan took a step back to avoid his hand and said lightly: "Answer." ”

"What's the hurry?" He Xiaocheng withdrew his hand, sneered, and then turned around: "I want to know, it depends on whether you dare to come with me." ”

The place where He Xiaocheng took Gu Nan was a partial house in the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

It was very quiet here, even in such a lively season, there was no one around, and he followed He Xiaocheng all the way into the room, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he smelled the smell of sandalwood.

Gu Nan glanced at He Xiaocheng expressionlessly, raised his feet and walked in. The latter smiled and closed the door after entering: "Sit down." ”

The person he was looking at still looked at him lightly: "Answer." ”

Seeing him like this, He Xiaocheng raised his eyes and glanced at him with a smile, his eyebrows and eyes were deep: "You are in a hurry." ”

After that, he smiled, and suddenly stepped forward and lowered his head to Gu Nan's eyes: "But you know, I won't embarrass you, right?" ”

Gu Nan didn't move, and quietly looked into He Xiaocheng's eyes. The distance between them was very close, the tips of their noses were almost close to each other, and Gu Nan could even feel his breathing, which was very light and light, and there was a kind of crazy heat.

"Why don't you speak, huh?" He Xiaocheng said in a low voice, his deliberately suppressed voice was slightly hoarse, and with a gentle tone and a slightly provocative tail note, he brushed his heart from Gu Nan's ears, and felt strange for no reason.

"Answer." Gu Nan's tone did not have a trace of waves: "It's not more than three, the same two words, I don't want to say it again for the fourth time today." ”

The words he said in a very flat tone made the smile that was almost invisible in He Xiaocheng's eyes completely hidden, he looked at Gu Nan fixedly, for a long time, laughed and said softly: "Okay, then I'll sue you." ”

After speaking, he leaned forward with his head slightly tilted forward, and whispered in Gu Nan's ear: "You guessed it, I did it." ”

The heat sprayed on Gu Nan's ears between the words, Gu Nan could even feel that the other party's lips had touched his ears, frowned and took a step back, Gu Nan raised his eyes to look at him, and did not hide the disdain in his eyes at all.

The Hou Shizi of Pingnan, who was pressed by his concubines everywhere, was most afraid of the eyes of others in his life. If he had seen it before, he would have been furious, but now when he saw Gu Nan's eyes at such a close distance, he smiled even more and stretched out his hand to touch Gu Nan's eyes: "What a good look, but ah......"

Gu Nan looked at him coldly.

In such a cold gaze, the smile on the corner of He Xiaocheng's mouth could not be maintained in the end, and the hand that touched the skin at the corner of Gu Nan's eyes paused slightly, suddenly raised, and then fell down fiercely before Gu Nan could react.

Gu Nan quickly tasted the smell of blood in his mouth.

"However, as soon as you are a rabbit who lives on others, you are really not qualified to look at me like that." He Xiaocheng withdrew his hand, smiled and looked at Gu Nan's swollen cheeks and the blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and after a while, his tone suddenly softened: "Actually, I really like the way you look now." ”

“……”

"Didn't you ask me if Mrs. Ning's death had anything to do with me? Of course. He Xiaocheng stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of Gu Nan's lips: "At that time, I also felt that she was looking at me with this kind of look, so I made a move, at that time she was very similar to you now, but I am much more gentle with you, at least you are okay for the time being except for your face, right?" ”

Gu Nan's eyes flashed, and he remembered the bruised scars on Mrs. Ning's body in the coffin, and gritted his teeth.

"Looking at you like this, I'm afraid I've already discovered Mrs. Ning's scars, right, how smart you are." He Xiaocheng smiled softly: "That kind of scar, how beautiful, you don't need to think too much, because...... Soon, you'll have it too. ”

"Today is the birthday of the Hou Ye, and the old man is also here, do you dare to do it?"

"Isn't it normal that there are many people who come and go, and the doctors who are powerless are tortured and killed by the people who come in?" He Xiaocheng said with a smile, and after speaking, he glanced at Gu Nan gently: "It may hurt, but it will be beautiful, don't be afraid." ”

Gu Nan felt a little disgusted: "You're not afraid?" ”

Hearing this, He Xiaocheng paused for a moment, and then laughed in a hoarse voice: "I was naturally scared at first, at that time I couldn't sleep every night, and as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw Mrs. Ning standing in front of me, looking at me with a face very similar to He Xiaoge, glaring at me with bruises, and saying that she wanted to ask me for her life." ”

"I was so panicked and scared at that time, but I dreamed a lot, and I suddenly remembered everything that happened that day, I remember the sound of Mrs. Ning's screams, I remember the way she struggled, and I remember the way she looked like she had tears in her eyes but couldn't do anything......" He Xiaocheng whispered, his expression gradually became crazy and hideous: "That's good, a person is under my control, I want her to hurt, I want her to hurt, how good it feels, how good......"

In the end, He Xiaocheng was nervous and kept muttering three words, his expression was crazy and obsessed.

This person's heart has long gone crazy.

Gu Nan looked at him vigilantly, moved quietly in the direction of the door, and as soon as he moved, He Xiaocheng raised his head suddenly, with such a mixture of obsession and madness on his face.

"Moreover, after you and He Xiaoge came back, I saw He Xiaoge kneeling in Mrs. Ning's mourning hall in such pain and despair, you don't know how happy I am." He Xiaocheng smiled hoarsely: "I have tried my best to make him miserable for so many years, and it was on that day that I suddenly discovered that there is actually only one way to make him miserable, and that is to make the people he cares about uncomfortable." ”

"Mrs. Ning died, so miserable, let me see He Xiaoge's desperate and painful appearance."

He Xiaocheng raised his head, looked at Gu Nan's face with burning eyes, and laughed hideously.

"So now, it's your turn, Mr. Gu."
