The sky that had been snowing for three days finally cleared, and the sunlight sprinkled through the clouds on the streets of Yushan Town, shining the thick snow on the roadside, and Yushan Town, which had been deserted for a few days, was finally lively again.

"Hey, Miss Gu, why are you here?" Xing Manfeng and Xing Manlan walked into the Tianyue Inn together, but saw Gu Tongye holding Erlang's legs, holding a pot of wine in his hand, leaning lazily on the chair, one hand still on his lap and tapping rhythmically, looking very enjoyable.

Gu Tongye lifted his eyelids, looked at the door, and when he saw that it was an acquaintance, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "Yo, Xing Zhutou, Lord Xing, it's been a long time since I've seen it more and more beautiful!" ”

Xing Manfeng scratched his head embarrassedly and laughed twice. Xing Manlan smiled helplessly, looked around, and asked curiously, "Why don't you see Doctor Ye, Master Mu and Prince Xixue?" ”

When Gu Tongye heard this, the smile on his face suddenly decreased, and he smiled a little bitterly, "They? A few of them are good brothers now, I didn't see that I was kicked out of the house! ”

"Huh? How can it be? Xing Manfeng exclaimed, looked Gu Tongye up and down, nodded as if he saw something, and said clearly, "But it's no wonder, Miss Gu, your body is too thin, just like a man, tsk, this is not good, no wonder you will be bullied by men like this." ”

The corners of Gu Tongye's mouth twitched, glanced at Xing Manfeng's swollen muscles, and secretly said in her heart, she would rather be bullied by a man than become a female King Kong!

Xing Manlan pulled Xing Manfeng and sat down close to Gu Tongye, "Lin Yuanshuang's matter is over, and Xixue Gongzi has also been released, what are Miss Gu's plans in the future?" ”

Gu Tongye handed the wine jug to Xing Manfeng, looked at the other party's heroic mouthful, admired it a little in his heart, turned his head to Xing Manlan and said with a smile, "Plans?" What can I do, open a shop in Yushan Town, make a small profit, and then drink a little wine every day to see a beautiful man. ”

"Hey, didn't Mu Gongzi say that you were going to the capital?" Xing Manfeng asked.

"Well, there is a plan, but it hasn't been decided yet, if he wants to go, let him go." Gu Tongye said with a smile, but she was a little depressed in her heart, indeed, Mu Xiu mentioned to her that she would go to the capital, and she didn't have anything to do, anyway, she was alone here, and it was not the same where she went, but she didn't like the feeling that Mu Xiu still hid from her.

Since he even took out the token of the Phoenix Queen, what else could not be said, he wanted to let him go back to the capital with him, but why did she want to go to a completely unfamiliar place with him, in Yushan Town, she had her own property, her own house, and people she knew, why did she go to that completely unfamiliar city with him in a carriage for a few months because of his vague and unclear statement.

She is a person who knows how to enjoy, but also a person who likes comfort, and she doesn't like to try this kind of thing unless it is absolutely necessary.

Now Mu Xiu is smart, he actually dared to hit Xi Xue and Ye Zhenyan with the idea, and this morning was the same, she hadn't fully woken up in the morning, Mu Xiu came to knock on the door, saying that Xi Xue was unwell and needed to be properly adjusted, and Ye Zhenyan said that to completely cure Xi Xue, you need several precious medicinal materials such as Tianshan Snow Lotus, and these medicinal materials are only available in the Jiuzhao Kingdom Palace.

Gu Tongye already had a strict sense of getting up, and because of Mu Xiu's trouble, the pent-up anger of several days suddenly burst out, and he ran out of the house in a rage after putting on his clothes.

"Forget it, don't talk about me, but when will Lord Xing return to Beijing?" Thinking of this, Gu Tongye's mood became more and more depressed, and after changing the topic, he stared at Xing Manlan and asked.

Xing Manlan called for everything on the table, she nibbled on the buns, drank another sip of hot porridge, and replied, "It's been a few days, a few days ago, the heavy snow closed the mountain, and the road was not safe, so it was delayed for a few days, but if it is sunny today, I believe that the snow should melt in less than a day, and it is time to return to Beijing." ”

"Hehe, cousin, you have removed the emperor's heart this time, what do you say the emperor will reward you?" Xing Manfeng asked happily.

Xing Manlan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't ask for any reward, I just hope that the empress can recover soon, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, if the empress's health is not good, alas, the country will be in chaos!" ”

Xing Manfeng nodded in agreement, and suddenly said in surprise, "By the way, isn't Doctor Ye still with Miss Gu?" Do you want to invite Doctor Ye to treat the emperor? ”

The smile on Gu Tongye's face froze, and she scolded Xing Manfeng in her heart, and let Ye Zhenyan enter the palace, but she couldn't figure it out, even if Ye Zhenyan was really skilled in medicine and Hua Tuo was alive, she didn't look at it, what kind of place was the palace? It's a place where you can't eat people and don't spit out bones, a nerd like Ye Zhenyan, not to mention whether he can cure the emperor, even if he is cured, if the emperor loves talent, and even more so he falls in love with his beauty, then Ye Zhenyan will not have to be trapped in the palace for the rest of his life!

Bullshit idea!

Xing Manlan's eyes lit up when she heard this, but she was quite calm, and she didn't agree immediately, but looked at Gu Tongye, and in her heart she had already acquiesced that Ye Zhenyan was Gu Tongye's person.

"What does Miss Gu think?" Xing Manlan asked.

Gu Tongye smiled happily on his face, but he actually gritted his teeth angrily, "I think it's more appropriate to ask Ye Zhenyan himself about this matter." ”

Xing Manlan understood and echoed, "This is nature, this is nature." ”

Then the three of them talked about it all over the world, until someone from the yamen invited Xing Manlan to return to the mansion.

Gu Tongye sold a few more dishes to Zhao Dongyan, and the other party smiled without eyes, and then respectfully sent Gu Tongye out of the inn, the attitude was very different from the first time I saw him.

Gu Tongye didn't poke it either, and followed with a smile on his face, until he left the inn, the smile on his face immediately faded, and mockery appeared in his eyes.

"Lotus seed porridge, lotus seed porridge, hot lotus seed porridge, cleanse the intestines and moisten the lungs and extinguish the fire, come and buy it, delicious lotus seed porridge!"

"Lotus seed porridge, delicious lotus seed porridge, hot lotus seed porridge!"

Gu Tongye heard this shout, which was clearly louder than ordinary people's voices, and couldn't help but look over, only to see a couple selling lotus seed porridge on the street not far away, the woman had dark skin and a pair of eyes that were particularly attentive, but the man looked weak and gentle, standing next to him to help hand over the dishes and chopsticks to collect money.

"This young lady, do you want to drink a bowl of lotus seed porridge? Home-made, guaranteed to be delicious! Seeing Gu Tongye coming over, the swarthy woman immediately greeted her and asked with a smile.

Gu Tongye glanced at it, and saw that the family's stall was clean and tidy, and the boss was also very good, so he nodded when his heart moved, "Well, but can this lotus seed porridge really extinguish the fire?"

"Yes, of course!" The woman said as a matter of course.

Gu Tongye nodded, and asked again, "But can you pack it?" ”

"Yes, yes!" The woman replied happily.

"How much does that young lady want?" The woman asked again, and as she spoke, she took out a bamboo tube from the basket covered with a broken cloth in the back!

Gu Tongye couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, she didn't see that this smug woman still had this mind, and knew how to use a bamboo tube to pack takeaways!

"Come on...... Forget it, let's have four bowls! Gu Tongye hesitated, but decided not to deal with Mu Xiu's stinky boy and cheapen him.

"Okay, right away!" The woman answered, then picked up the bamboo tube and poured in some milky white liquid that I don't know if it was milk or goat's milk, and then poured boiling water from the huge copper stove and rushed in, and then added some things, and after stirring for a while, it became a viscous lotus seed porridge, but in Gu Tongye's opinion, this should be called lotus root paste!

Carrying four cans of lotus seed porridge, Gu Tongye hurried home, she went out on impulse in the morning, and she didn't know if the three of them had breakfast.

Ye Zhenyan said that he would not do anything except cure diseases and save people. The brook and snow are even more frightening, and the ten fingers do not touch the spring water. Mu Xiu, forget it, don't count on him, thank God if you don't burn down the kitchen.

"Squeak-"

The door opened, Mu Xiu looked at Gu Tongye who was raising his hand and preparing to push the door in surprise, his mouth opened slightly, the joy in his eyes flickered, and his shoulders seemed to loosen up, "I thought you ran away from home again." Mu Xiu said, with a hint of complaint and a hint of happiness in his tone.

Gu Tongye rolled his eyes, "Don't forget that this is my home, and if I want to run away from home, I have to change hands on the house before leaving!" ”

When I walked into the courtyard, I saw the other two people as if they had made an appointment, one sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, making tea in his hand, and the white jade cup and green onion fingers reflected each other, like a beautiful scenery; The other sat on the swing under the maple tree, curled up, looking intently at the medical book in his hand, when a gust of wind blew and the swing swayed, but he didn't notice it.

Seeing Gu Tongye coming back, both of them looked up, Xi Xue smiled like a spring breeze and was intoxicating, "You're back." ”

Gu Tongye nodded a little weakly, then put the lotus seed porridge in his hand on the table, and shouted at Ye Zhenyan, "Idiot, come here, I'll bring you something delicious!" ”

Ye Zhen let out an "oh" after saying this, and then closed his medical skills and walked over.

Mu Xiu was a little embarrassed, after all, he had just finished arguing with Gu Tongye, and he hesitated whether to leave, but he didn't want his stomach to be very angry.

Gu Tongye glanced at Mu Xiu's stomach narrowly, Mu Xiu became more and more embarrassed, glanced at Gu Tongye crampedly, and said, "I still have something to do, let's go back to the room first." ”

"Stop!" Gu Tongye's face suddenly changed and he snorted coldly.

Xixue's action of pouring tea paused slightly, and then continued. Ye Zhenyan was also shaking the bamboo tube, and looked at Gu Tongye.

Gu Tongye handed all the bamboo tubes to Ye Zhenyan, "You go to the kitchen and get four dishes and chopsticks, I have something to talk about with Mu Xiu, you two eat first, otherwise it won't taste good when it's cold." ”

"Oh." Ye Zhenyan nodded, pulled his legs and ran to the kitchen, and did not forget to sneak a glance back at Gu Tongye in the middle.

Gu Tongye looked at Xixue again, only to see that on such a cold day, he actually sat on the cold stone bench without even wearing a cloak, his heart was angry, and his tone was not good, "Why don't you know how to cherish your health so badly, what if you are sick if you wear so little." ”

Xixue didn't care about her moodiness at all, and still nodded and said gently, "Okay, I'll go back and add clothes." As he spoke, he got up and walked to his room, without dragging his feet so much that Gu Tongye felt a little inexplicable.
