Mid-autumn should have been killed, but before the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, Gu Zhai descended the New Year first.

The thousand households in charge of grain and straw in Beizhen Fusi were promoted a few days ago, and the vacant position was naturally filled by Gu Cheng, the deputy thousand households, and he himself was indispensable, and people outside were not very hot when they looked at it.

There is no other reason, Gu Cheng is a person, he can't be regarded as a stammering person, but he is calm in temperament, he doesn't dazzle anywhere, and he doesn't annoy people wherever he goes.

But he has deliberately avoided Shen Huan recently, and Shen Huan feels a little upset.

After getting off work, Gu Cheng changed his clothes and washed, and went to the room to ask Xu Shi for peace first. The room was bustling, and laughter floated out before entering the door.

Shen Huan sat down and laughed with Xu, while plucking the fresh walnuts that had just been dropped. Seeing him coming, he got up with a smile and called the third brother.

Gu Cheng didn't look at her, nodded in her direction, and replied intentionally or unintentionally, "Sister sit." ”

The two words of my sister are a little clearer than usual.

Xu didn't know about the lawsuit between them, so he took Gu Cheng's hand and smiled, "The girl has been with me for half an afternoon, serving this little walnut, and her hands are red." She is really filial to me, and she has to thank your sister for me when I go back. ”

Gu Cheng lowered his head and agreed.

Shen Huan smiled generously, "Mrs. is polite to me? It's not worth anything, turn around and boil it into rock sugar walnuts, sweet and silky, and it is the most effective way to cure your cough. ”

Xu Shi looked relieved, turned his head and saw Gu Cheng's face calm, and suddenly sighed, "I just told your sister, and so is the Fang family, we have to wait for the spring of next year to do a happy event, and this delay will take more than half a year." They are not in a hurry, nor do they look at the age of their daughters, they are seventeen years old after the New Year, and they hide and think they are a treasure. ”

Gu Cheng's heart was overjoyed, and he suddenly felt relaxed, "Then it's up to others, let's wait." ”

Xu stared at him and hesitated, "Are you not very satisfied with this family?" I asked you what you meant, and you didn't say anything. I had no choice but to make a hasty decision. In the end, the lintel is low, and I can't complain that you don't like it. ”

Lala was mixed for a long time, and asked on the side, "What do you mean, if you really don't like it, let's leave early?" ”

Gu Cheng raised his head, with a clear firmness in his eyes, "If you don't retreat, it's decided, it's decided, our family can't do such a thing." ”

The voice is not high, but it is powerful enough. Xu's face froze, "The reaction is quite big, you have always had a good temper, but you have recently been promoted, and your anger is a little bullish." ”

Gu Cheng snorted lightly, lowered his eyes, and said slowly, "No, my son is in a hurry, I can't help but care about you." Seriously, our family is also a poetic heirloom, and we can't go back on our word for no reason. ”

"It's not for nothing that other people's families have such things, and besides, their families are dragging their feet first." Xu sighed, "Forget it, you don't want to, what can I say, it's just that I think you have a broader future in the future, and I have wronged you by this family." ”

As he spoke, Shen Huan dialed four or five more walnuts, and his fingertips were red, as if he had lit a piece of cinnabar.

Gu Cheng quietly took the walnut, did it himself, and replied in a low voice, "I'm nothing, just an insignificant little official, maybe I can be a thousand households at most in this life, and now it's over." Why should I look down on the Fang family, people don't think I'm unproductive, I should be content. ”

Xu didn't like to hear this, "It's nonsense, you don't want to quit your family, and you can't break your own future." I know what you mean, I don't move this thought. ”

Shen Huan rubbed his fingers with a handkerchief, lowered his eyebrows and smiled, his laughter was a little fluttering, "I will never regret what I should do, the third brother is really a kind person." ”

It was night, and the moon was in the middle of the sky. The lights in the West Room were on, but the owner stood under the porch of the East House, watching the candles flicker in the room.

Shen Huan didn't knock on the door, only lightly buttoned the window. The light in the room went out at once, and there was no movement.

The finches are not heard, and everything is silent. Shen Huan smiled, "Third brother, I'm standing under the eaves, in case someone sees me, but I can't tell the story." The old grandmother woke up at night, and her mouth was broken. ”

Still didn't move, her laughter became clearer and clearer, "This door can't stop me, I respect you as my third brother, I am willing to wait and not break in." But if you are really impatient, you will not be able to follow the rules if you can't keep it. ”

There was a long sigh in the room, and the lights came back on. Gu Cheng opened the door, leaned sideways, and let her in.

Looking at it, the room was like the master, clean and simple, a cabinet full of books, and there were half-written notes on the desk. A standard literati can't do what he likes, so he has to turn that idea into a daily pastime.

Shen Huan was not worth it, but this thought flashed through his mind. picked the position he usually sitting, unceremoniously, and asked directly, "You are doing it on purpose today, you have to answer Mrs. right like that in front of me?" ”

Gu Cheng sat next to the bed, "No, it's just a matter of heart, it's not intentional or not." ”

Shen Huan looked at him, shrouded in light, his face was even more tranquil and quiet, but unfortunately, the words he said were sentence by sentence.

"Do you have to marry Fang Qiaozhen?" She asked again.

Gu Cheng didn't say anything and nodded.

"Just for the sake of the previous family promise, can't go back on your word?" The voice was low, but it contained anger.

Gu Cheng bowed his head, thought about it, and had a clear attitude, "This matter is what I deserve." I didn't dare to say it loudly, but it was a word. ”

This is to remind her that his commitment to her should also be unswerving?

Shen Huan sneered, "Third brother is a pun? ”

Gu Cheng lowered his eyes for a moment and said lightly, "Whatever you want." ”

"Are you Chengxin and me?" Shen Huan gritted his teeth and smiled coldly, "Or is it with your own heart?" ”

Gu Cheng smiled and calmly replied to her, "You have your obsession, and I also have mine." After a pause, he looked at her, "I don't just let someone pinch it flat, and if it is rounded, I can get along." ”

Huo Ran got up, and Shen Huan looked at him condescendingly, "Okay, I know." ”

She walked out without looking back, Gu Cheng was a little unsure, and asked, "That's it, that's it?" ”

The corners of his lips moved, but Shen Huan still didn't look back, "That's it." ”

Before going out, I caught a glimpse of a sword hanging obliquely on the wall, and felt familiar, standing in the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky, I suddenly realized that it was not the appearance of the Big Dipper hanging obliquely in the sky.

There is heaven and morality in the world, but she doesn't believe it, he just wants to be his own master, the only master in this world!

Gu Cheng couldn't guess Shen Huan's thoughts, and he couldn't figure out what she was going to do next. I just heard that something happened to the Fang family again, and the daughter-in-law who was about to pass through the door, a girl from the Tongju family surnamed Zhao in Shuntian Mansion, was recently frightened by evil spirits and fell ill at home, delaying the upcoming happy event again.

According to the rules of the Beijing Division, marrying a woman and marrying a girl must come in order, Fang Qiaozhen has two brothers in front of her, and one is waiting to get married. The Fang family originally wanted to wait for this side to stop, and then do her and Gu Cheng's business. Who would have thought that at this juncture, the daughter-in-law of the Fang family who was about to pass through the door fell ill again, which was really a sideshow.

Shen Huan would not not understand this rule.

For three nights, she was hovering on the roof of the courtyard of Zhao Tong's house. Today, the night is becoming more and more lively for her, and she even feels that she likes the dark night several times more than the day.

In Zhao Tong's house, the young lady's house was even more lively, and Shen Huan made no effort, and a little eggplant flower fell in the young lady's diet, which would not hurt people's bodies, but would only make people less sane.

Taking advantage of the night, she was dressed in black, fluttering outside Miss Zhao's window, her shadow swaying, and her suspicion gave rise to dark ghosts. Miss Zhao was frightened, and shouted every day to ask Taoist monks to do the work to ward off evil spirits, and soon she didn't even dare to get out of bed, wrapped in the quilt and muttered that there were monsters.

said that people can be scared to death, Shen Huan didn't believe it. It's just that I'm afraid of the last and delayed for a while. After five days of medicine, she felt that it was almost over.

In the night breeze, he was relaxed and rushed to the direction of Gu's house quite comfortably.

There was a sudden chill behind the ears, and a black shadow flashed, slender and vigorous, like a cat passing silently.

It turns out that the night is really lively. Shen Huan laughed secretly, and chased in the direction of the black shadow.
