5. Ask each other
In the second half of the day, the sky gradually darkened, and the wind carried scattered snow particles. Gu Cheng felt a little cold, and wanted to ask the girl next to him, but when he turned his head, he was stunned.
A pair of eyes, a look, not the brightness of a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, not the tactful charm of a girl in a green building, light and firm, like a green mountain in the distance.
After a pause, Gu Cheng laughed silently, the other party was just a child, and he was so shocked, it was really unseemly.
But the words of hush and warmth were swallowed by him in the end. He didn't know how to speak, so Shen Huan generously broke the siege, "How do you call you?" ”
Gu Cheng said truthfully, "The surname is Gu, and the single name is a Cheng word." After thinking about it, he drew a snake and added to it, "Gu is the Gu of Gu Nian, and the promise of promise." ”
Shen Huan raised his eyebrows, "Good name, good surname!" What font size? ”
Gu Cheng smiled, "A rough person, no number." The words are pure. ”
Meifeng raised again, this time there was some surprise in her eyes, "The rock is like a trivial stone, the glow is like an ice release, and the famous sword of the pre-Qin Ouyezi is called Chunjun." Are those two words? ”
Gu Cheng's eyes lit up, as if he had met a confidant who had been reunited after a long absence, but his face dimmed again, these two words were too sharp, although they were good, they were not worthy of them, "My father's expectations were too high, and his name did not match it." ”
Shen Huan didn't answer, as if silently affirming his words. Gu Cheng's mood darkened again, and he walked beside her wordlessly. The two of them didn't speak for a long time, she didn't ask where they were going, and he felt that there was no point in saying more.
Yu Guang still couldn't help but look at her, so he noticed a sharp light, somewhat familiar, but for a while he forgot where he had seen it.
Suddenly, I heard her clear and bright question, "Do you recognize my father?" ”
Gu Cheng shook his head, "Shen ...... Lord Shen is a first-class master, and he has no chance to see him below, and he can't climb high. ”
She asked, "Do you know my mother?" ”
He had no choice but to shake his head again, "In Xia and the girl's family, I don't know anything about my life." ”
But he had seen her, and they had a relationship, but listening to the meaning of her words, he had long forgotten about it. In that case, he didn't know how to mention it.
She didn't ask any more. Gu Cheng twisted his face, and suddenly heard a bang, and the flagpole of a wine shop ten meters away in front of him suddenly broke off, and the wine flag flickered, hunting in the wind, and Shaoqing fell to the ground with a bang, kicking up the scattered dust.
Gu Chengwei was a little stunned, he paused, he thought she would be frightened, and hurriedly wanted to comfort her, and at a glance, he realized that he was wrong.
Shen Huan's face was full of smiles, a little self-satisfied, very unpredictable. He suddenly remembered when and where he had received such a smile.
"You ......" Gu Cheng only said one word, paused, and then continued, "You did this?" With the glass beads that I use? ”
She did not deny it, "Ten days ago, I was drugged by my own uncle, and they took advantage of my lack of strength to tie me up and send me to that place. I wanted to try it, and now it's back to a few percent. ”
He was speechless, "That...... Then try it with someone else's flagpole? Don't pay if it's broken? ”
As he spoke, he had already walked to the wine shop, Gu Cheng was full of guilt, and couldn't bear to look at the angry boss, so he pulled her to the side of the road with palpitations.
She actually laughed out loud and relaxed, her eyes were charming, "Otherwise, what's the matter?" Take you to practice? Or take passers-by? Or knock out whose front teeth? ”
It turned out that she remembered everything, remembered that scene, and of course should remember him! Gu Cheng suddenly regretted it, but he knew that his regret came too late.
In the future, she has to follow herself, he can't watch her do whatever she wants, she is not the daughter of the past. What's more, he was just an insignificant subordinate from the fifth grade, and he couldn't bear to take care of this living Bodhisattva.
Don't talk about it, you have to be reasonable. Disagreeing and hurting others, this is not the life principle that Gu Cheng has believed in for 20 years, it is really a great provocation to him.
Gu Cheng is a person, naturally he can't be regarded as having mixed up on the street, he is from a noble background, although his family is in the middle of the road, he is also a poetic heirloom. In the early years, because of his weak body, in order to make a living, Master Gu specially hired a general teacher in Jingwei to teach their brothers' martial arts. It's just learning the basic boxing routines, and I don't pay much attention to it.
There are rules before the master accepts the apprentice, and he must first test his temperament, and if he is a ruthless and brave person, he will not be able to talk about it. If nothing else, I'm afraid of ruining my reputation, and I'm even more afraid of smashing the reputation of a martial art.
Practicing martial arts is to strengthen the body, and the master sees that his qualifications are limited, and he also has a match to teach him, but more to teach him the truth of being a man. After seven or eight years, a set of fists and guns is enough for him to fight more than ordinary people. But the master has a saying, he remembers it more profoundly than boxing marksmanship: When you are fierce, I will coax you. When you coax, I am even more cowardly.
When dealing with personal grievances, I smell it.
People with martial arts are most taboo to bully the weak, fight with people on the street, roll in the quagmire, and become hooligans, which is a good thing.
So he thought about it, Shen Huan, this girl is still young, and someone needs to guide her. Obviously, the words have reached his mouth, but the exit suddenly became like this, "Put away the beads, and it's not good to look back and let people see them." ”
After saying that, he felt depressed, twisted his face to the side, and couldn't look at that person anymore. After a while, Shen Huan didn't pay attention to him, and his words became cowardly self-talk, which made people feel even more chest tightness when they thought about it.
It was easy to walk past the noisy wine shop, and the living bodhisattva beside him finally spoke, "How long will it take?" ”
Is this tired of walking? Gu Cheng's heart softened and his tone softened, "I'm sorry, I forgot to hire a car, and I'll be there two more streets." ”
Shen Huan smiled, "I'm not tired, I'm thinking about where your family lives." The most expensive street in Beijing has passed, and your home must not be too big, nor too good. ”
Gu Cheng's throat tightened, and he couldn't help but sneer, "That's even more sorry, small family, you will be wronged." ”
After saying that, I regretted it, she was an orphan girl, she was young, and she suffered such a tragedy, and she was still a little angry? It doesn't matter if she's mean, it's even more important if she's mean herself, just don't cause trouble everywhere and cause trouble to others.
Gu Cheng turned his head and looked at her seriously, only then did he realize that the clothes on her body were too bright, although she was delicate, but she always felt that something was wrong - this was the makeup of Liuxian Pavilion, and she would definitely not like it herself.
Glancing at the ready-to-wear shop not far away, he asked, "Go pick out a few clothes and change this one." ”
Shen Huan glanced at him, "I didn't spend the money just now, but it's still itchy in my hands?" ”
Gu Cheng choked, "Just take it, you can't always wear the clothes of that place." ”
She laughed again and smiled before asking, "Is there a girl my age in your family?" ”
Gu Cheng thought about it, Hanxiang was a year or two older than her, and her stature was smaller than her, so she nodded and said, "There is one." ”
Shen Huan said, "Then you don't have to break the bank, go back and find some of hers, just borrow me to wear them." She was suddenly so understanding, but she was very surprised.
I wanted to praise her a few words, and then I heard her, "Does she have filial piety?" ”
Gu Chengdeng was embarrassed, "Yes, it's just the old year, I don't know if you wear it properly, if it's not suitable, I'll buy it for you." ”
She was noncommittal, and she stopped talking. The two of them walked silently for two streets and walked back to the door of Gu Cheng's small mansion.
Xu was still resting in the upper room, unable to hear the movement in front of him. Zhu Mother came to open the door, and suddenly saw Gu Cheng behind her, followed by a fairy-like girl, her eyelids jumped, and she hurriedly asked, "Third master, who is this girl?" Are you in the market today? ”
That's not right, the people who sell in the market are all from the families of the criminals, and they are locked up in the detention center for ten days and half a month, and any kind of beauty is only dusty and has sideburns like frost, where is there such a glamorous and moving.
Gu Cheng's eyes flickered, and he hated himself for making up the words all the way, but when he arrived, he still said that it was not good, "No, one, a sister-in-law from a friend's family." Mom, don't ask, please get some food, send it, send it to my house first. Turn around and ask Hanxiang to clean up Westinghouse. ”
I wish my mother's eyes were like torches, and after looking at the appearance of the two of them, I had a joy in my heart, it seems that the third master is a thousand-year-old iron tree to bloom, rare! Congratulations.
I wish my mother a quick hand and foot, a stick of incense, and a dinner has been put on the table. It was the weight of two people, Gu Cheng really didn't have much appetite, so he only handed the chopsticks to Shen Huan, "Let's eat, rest early after eating." ”
Shen Huan swept the dishes on the table and put down the chopsticks, "Your family, usually eat this?" ”
Quiches, sesame crisps, pickled melon strips with white rice porridge, a bright table of meals.
Gu Cheng sighed, "Make do with a meal, what do you want to eat, I'll buy it back for you tomorrow." ”
She smiled softly, picked up the spoon, and took two sips of porridge. After two mouthfuls, he put down the things in his hand.
Gu Cheng had no choice but to persuade him gently, "Is it unappetizing?" You say what you want to eat, and I'll let them do it again. ”
Shen Huan shook his head, "I'll just taste it, and I'm not hungry anyway." Looking up at the window, he suddenly smiled, "I don't know if my father has eaten at this time, my mother, will never be able to eat." ”
She was obviously smiling, but it made people want to cry, Gu Cheng didn't know what to say, so he simply lowered his head and said nothing.
After a while, I saw her purse her temples, and then spread her hands on her knees, "How much did it cost you to redeem me?" ”
He didn't know that she was still thinking about this, it didn't seem to be something that a young lady should pay attention to, and after thinking about it, he still couldn't make up nonsense, "Three hundred taels." ”
Shen Huan really smiled, like a bloom blooming in the dark night, "It turns out that I'm worth this number." ”
Is it too much or too little? Gu Cheng didn't dare to ask, thinking about the smile she had just bloomed made him sadder than thinking about the three hundred taels of silver.
"I don't know what to do on the stove, I haven't done it before, the female red has learned but the stitches are thick, the embroidery lady said I have no talent, she doesn't know, in fact, I did it on purpose." She looked at him with a smile, "I can learn all of this, and I won't do worse than your little girl." You don't have to give the money for the month in the future, sooner or later you will pay off the three hundred taels, let's clear the two, you let me go. ”
Gu Cheng panicked, "No, you...... You think badly. He hurriedly explained, "I didn't buy you, nor did I ask you to come to my house to be a girl, I didn't mean that." ”
She smiled, "Although I am in trouble, I don't want to be a concubine, this matter is not negotiable." ”
He panicked even more, his face getting hotter and hotter, "That's not going to be, absolutely...... Absolutely not. ”
She ignored his embarrassment and looked up and down, "At your age, it's a little late to raise a child and a daughter-in-law?" ”
Gu Cheng stroked his forehead, only feeling that the place where his hand touched it hurt, "You don't have to pay back the money, even if I raised you for nothing, it should be regarded as a favor I owe you." ”
She remembered that the money bag that fell on the ground that day was only twenty taels of silver in the sky, which was twenty taels, and it cost three hundred taels, and she didn't have to pay it back, which was unreasonable and weird.
"What does Gu Ye do, haven't asked for advice yet?" She changed her name, but it didn't make people feel polite.
This is a question that can't be escaped, Gu Cheng can only answer stubbornly, "I am, the ...... of Beizhen Fusi"
Her face really changed color, as if she was looking at an enemy, and after looking at it for a long time, she calmed down again, "I didn't see you that day?" ”
Gu Cheng nodded, "I'm in charge of grain, and I can't do ordinary errands." After saying that, he remembered that something was wrong, and he was inexplicably surprised, "Can you remember that day, everyone?" ”
She smiled faintly, "Enemies, you have to remember your face, so as not to kill good people unjustly in the future." These words came out of the mouth of a girl who was fresher than flowers, and it was really creepy.
Gu Cheng comforted herself, she was just a happy talker, could a little girl really seek revenge? He treats her well, and after a few comfortable days, the old grudges will fade, and there is no time in this world to polish the emotions that will not be dissolved.
Looking at her hands quietly spread on her knees, Gu Cheng felt that she should be given some space to be alone, and she would have the ability to calm herself down.
"I'll go to the Westinghouse and take a look, I'll pack it up, and I'll call you again." He stood up and walked towards the door.
"There is not much grain and straw, where did you get three hundred taels?" She asked clearly, "The money and food from embezzlement?" ”
Gu Cheng was glad that he had his back to her, he couldn't see her contemptuous suspicion, and she couldn't see his embarrassment and shame, "No." ”
obviously should have said a loud sentence, teaching him to be stunned and lacking confidence. It's a pity that she doesn't know the truth of poor Kou Mo chasing, maybe she knows, so she deliberately did it, "That's even more strange, shouldn't it be used, your colleagues honor your corrupt things?" Or simply to take, our stuff? ”
A dark shadow fell from the dark corner, smashing him in the face, making his face red and his eyes full of Venus.
His body's reaction preceded words, and before he could think about how to answer, his hand had already pulled the door open, and he had already responded to her question in a gesture of running away.
