Ask what should be asked, and see those who should be seen. There was suddenly one more person in the family, and Gu Cheng had to explain it clearly to his mother Xu.

Originally, with twelve points of apprehension, and it was not good to tell him too much, he accompanied Shen Huan carefully to bring Shen Huan to Xu. Unexpectedly, Shen Huan's demeanor was moderate, and he was completely upbringing from a big family, and he was polite and polite to the Xu family, and there was a little concern in his words-that Gu Cheng couldn't feel the heat on her before.

Xu Shi has been lingering on the sickbed for a long time, rarely going out of the door, he is a little unfamiliar with the world outside, and his background is limited, and his eyesight is naturally limited.

After the meeting, the mother and son closed the door and talked in private. Xu still had doubts, "Brother Cheng, is she really your sister of the same year, what is Shen Zhan's sister?" You say he's from Shuntianfu? My brother is gone, and I don't even have any relatives left? ”

The first time Gu Cheng lied in front of his mother, it was still a big lie, and he felt that it was difficult to speak, so he pursed his lips and nodded, and he should have replied.

Xu sighed, "Poor, a girl with a lot of water, I don't look like she came from a small family...... What are you going to do with it, just keep it at home? ”

Gu Cheng nodded, "Entrust it to me, and I'll help take care of it." When she's older, find someone reliable for her. ”

Xu Shi coughed suddenly, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and said while panting, "I'm afraid it's inconvenient?" You haven't started a family yet...... Her brother told you that day? Didn't say it...... Didn't say anything else? It was easy to stop coughing, and took a sip of tea, "I am worried that I will have to buy a dowry for her in the future, and after all these years, our family may not be good." ”

Gu Cheng looked at his mother in surprise, "Mother, what do you mean by this?" ”

Xu's eyes revealed hatred that iron could not become steel, "After the New Year, isn't she thirteen?" It's not too small, you haven't thought about it...... The appearance is really good, the speech is also smooth, although the family background is poor, I will make a small one for you in the future, I think it is still made. ”

Gu Cheng's expression froze, "You think too much, there is no such possibility." She is an orphan girl, I am willing to take care of her, take care of her like a sister, didn't you also recognize her as a daughter? If I had other thoughts, that is, to take advantage of the fire and robbery, to take advantage of the danger of others, I would not be able to do such a thing. ”

He was never so excited, the green tendons on his forehead were revealed, and Xu hurriedly waved his hand, "Okay, whatever you say is what you say, my mother depends on you." Alas, now I can't see the affairs of your juniors, so I just leave it alone. ”

Gu Cheng expressed his attitude, and the family no longer made a fuss about it, and they didn't make a joke. Shen Huan lived a quiet life in the West House, dressed in filial piety clothes, with a hairpin of white flowers, a straight waist, and a slender neck, which was more elegant than ordinary people wearing purple and red. Sometimes Qiao Shengsheng stands in the courtyard and takes the broom in Hanxiang's hand very naturally, not like he has never done it, but it seems to be a little more careful than Hanxiang.

Others didn't know that Mother Zhu and Hanxiang had been dizzy by her, so they ignored the cold chills on her face.

But when Gu accepted her post, before she had time to change her clothes, she first saw her watering flowers in the yard. I don't know why, I just can't help it, and I stepped forward to grab the water scoop. The action was big, and the water splashed out, dripping and dripping himself.

Shen Huan laughed first, "What to rob?" The flowers will not be watered by me. ”

Gu Cheng regretted Fang Cai's actions, and said in a calm voice, "I said that I won't let you do this, you are not a girl in the family." ”

Shen Huan smiled and said nothing, standing opposite him, looking up to see his face clearly, and raising his head a little higher, he could see the sky.

At this moment, in her eyes, he is the man closest to the sky, as long as he raises his face, he seems to be able to have a qiē. Thinking like this, my heart gradually sank, and I twisted my body again and slowly walked back to the house.

Gu Cheng couldn't advance or retreat, and was stunned under the shade of the tree with his hands behind his back. After a while, she heard the sound of the door opening, and she stood there, standing calmly, smiling lightly, "I made tea, come in and take a sip." ”

He relaxed and followed her into the house, the small room had bright windows, and a few bamboo potted plants were placed under the window lattice, which was a rare touch of green in winter. But the most eye-catching thing is a set of dresses on the shelf, goose yellow with bright pink, fresh and shocking, it is the one she wore back from Liuxian Pavilion.

"You still have it? I'll burn it for you. Gu Cheng kindly reminded.

Shen Huan shook his head, "No, watching it like this every day can make me remember a lot of things, I'm afraid I will forget it in the future." ”

Gu accepted her tea, and his fingers trembled slightly, "You have to forget what you should forget, you don't have to worry about being 100 years old in life." ”

Shen Huan tightened the corners of his mouth, and his expression was calm, "Tea should be drunk while it is hot." ”

Gu Cheng was as good as a stream, took a sip of tea, and suddenly raised his head, "What did you put in, there is a different fragrance." ”

"It's rosin, and that's all that's left for this season." Shen Huan turned the cup and calmly changed the topic, "I have something to ask you about, what should I call you in the future?" ”

Gu Cheng smiled, "You are my sister, of course you should call me brother." ”

Shen Huan's head and neck did not move, but his eyes were refusing, "No, I have three elder brothers, but unfortunately their lives are not good." I don't want to call you that, I'm afraid I'll call you bad. ”

This is her crooked reasoning, Gu Cheng disagreed, and asked, "Then what do you want to call me?" ”

Shen Huan smiled, his white teeth were not revealed, "Call Chunjun, do you agree?" ”

It's just a word, although they are peers, but their identities are brother and sister, those two words can only be called by friends and wives, if she calls them out like this, it is blatantly taking advantage of him.

Gu Cheng flatly refused, "In front of people, you call me third brother, and after carrying people behind your back, you can call me whatever you want, but you can't call Chunjun." ”

Shen Huan guessed that he would say this, and Shan asked, "You are three, there should be two brothers in front of you." ”

Gu Cheng's eyes darkened, "The eldest brother is gone, and the second brother was twelve years old when he got the wind cold, and he didn't keep it, so I was the only one left." ”

It turned out that he was also a thin kinship, Shen Huan said bluntly, "Maybe we are both square people, and we can cancel each other out by staying together." ”

Gu Cheng's brows furrowed, and before he could speak, he heard her say again, "But you are not as good as me, and I am the only one left in the family." I just said to call you third brother, you don't know, I used to be the best and worst with my third brother. We're only four years old, and we can play in one place, but we have to make trouble after a while. He didn't let me either, I really didn't have the bearing of a man. But when he locked him up that day, he didn't cry or make trouble, he was generous and calm, as if he had grown up all of a sudden. I knew he wanted to turn around and look at me again, but before he could turn his face, they pushed and shoved him out the door. ”

Gu Cheng's jaw trembled slightly, he hung his head because of the lack of words, and there was a bitter feeling in his throat.

The thoughts that had nowhere to vent were contained in time, Shen Huan smiled, and saluted him, "From now on, I will call you the third brother." I know that you treat me sincerely, so don't bother the second master, please ask the third brother to help me inquire, what is the situation of my father and brothers. To what extent the case is being tried, whether they are alive or dead, I am not afraid to know. ”

The look on her face was as dignified as a bodhisattva in the temple, and Gu Cheng hurriedly responded, "I will do my best." ”

Although everyone is in charge of a stall in Beizhen Fusi, it is not so difficult to inquire about things. The New Year has not yet arrived, the will has been lowered, the three sons of the Shen family sent the northwest to fill the army, and they can't wait for the beginning of spring, and they will be escorted to set off in the lunar month.

When Gu Cheng heard the news, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad, at least his life was saved, and the future would all depend on creation. He agreed to Shen Huan, but he also felt that he couldn't hide anything, so he calmed down his feelings first, and then told her 1510.

Shen Huan just muttered to himself, "Northwest ......" thought for a long time before asking, "The Northwest is big, where is it?" ”

Gu Cheng thought for a while, "It seems to be Ganzhou." ”

Shen Huan nodded, "I heard that it's very cold there, and my third brother is afraid of the cold." ”

"It's good to be alive, maybe there will be a chance to meet in the future." Gu Cheng said this, but his heartbeat was like a drum, this is clearly an irresponsible deception, thousands of miles of mountains, how can she fly across a girl?

Shen Huan suddenly smiled obediently, as if listening to his words, "What about my father?" The court still has to drag out the unresolved case? ”

Gu Cheng replied truthfully, "There will be no news a year ago, and the emperor doesn't seem to have the heart to pay attention to this matter recently." ”

Shen Huan smiled, "Is it that the emperor doesn't have a mind, or is the celebrant Chang Chitose not having a mind?" This is the busiest time of the year, busy receiving gifts, busy counting officials in Beijing and other cities, who should be promoted, who should be imprisoned. ”

She was nurtured by a family of eunuchs, and she was not very old, but she had some knowledge and heard of it. Gu Cheng sighed, "Don't think about it yet, spend the New Year with peace of mind, I believe that your father and your mother are in the spirit of heaven, and they all hope that you can be safe." ”

Shen Huan was a little distracted and shook his head, "That batch of military salaries totaled 150,000 yuan, not because my father was greedy for ink, but for the soldiers at the border pass to ask the imperial court." There are so many people, there is a lack of clothes and few clothes, and the clothes for the winter are extremely shabby, my father can't see it, and he shouldn't treat his comrades like this. He guarded Denglai for the imperial court, trained the water army, and pacified the Japanese invaders; He moved to Liaodong again, and fought for half his life. He may have done something else, but it shouldn't have been for this, they shouldn't have used it to kill him. ”

Maybe there is nothing that should or shouldn't, an excuse, and it is a friend who excludes dissidents and settles cronies. Gu Cheng felt that Shen Huan wouldn't understand, but he couldn't accept it.

This reason does not involve itself, as if it is a matter of course, the numbness of the crowd and the evil of the group, probably nothing more than that.

Gu Cheng was silent, because he couldn't persuade him anymore.

Shen Huan gradually regained his spirit, and his pupils were like wet ink droplets, "My father often said that his best destination is to die on the battlefield. ”
