On the day of Valin's birthday, Gu Chongyang dressed up a little, took the birthday gift prepared for Valin and went out.

Valin personally greeted Gu Chongyang at the Hanging Flower Gate, and his face was full of joy: "Sister Gu, you can be regarded as here." ”

She was wearing a pink half-arm shirt and combing her budding bun, she hadn't seen her gain weight for a while, and her little face was round and very cute.

"Sister Ling, happy birthday. I wish you a happy day, the longer you grow, the more beautiful you become. Gu Chongyang pinched the flesh on her cheek and handed her the gift with a smile.

"What is it?" Valin looked curious.

The gift can't be opened in front of people, otherwise it will be disrespectful to people, but Gu Chongyang didn't feel anything, she encouraged: "Just open it and see!" ”

Valin wanted to open it, but hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Forget it, my brother knows, and he will definitely scold me." No matter what it is, as long as it's sent by Sister Gu, I like it. ”

"But I haven't seen each other for just over a month, and Sister Ling has become so polite, it's really impressive."

The two held hands and entered the door together.

Hua Rong was already waiting in Valin's yard, and when he saw Gu Chongyang coming, he nervously stepped forward to greet Gu Chongyang: "Miss Gu is finally here, Sister Ling has been waiting for you all morning." If I hadn't been with her, she would have even gone to Gu's house to find you. ”

So, in fact, like Sister Ling, I've been looking forward to seeing you as soon as possible.

Hua Rong glanced at Gu Chongyang, and saw that she was wearing a water-green shirt, with an outstanding temperament, more beautiful and bright than before, and her heart couldn't help beating even harder.

Gu Chongyang couldn't help but admire: "No wonder Sister Ling is so polite now, it turns out that it is the result of Hua Gongzi's careful teaching." It's a blessing to have an older brother like Hua Gongzi, Sister Ling. ”

Not having a brother born to a mother has always been a regret in her heart.

Gu Chongyang just said it casually, but it had another taste in Hua Rong's ears, Miss Gu was praising him, right?

Hua Rong felt that his cheeks were slightly hot, and he couldn't say anything nervous, only grinning.

Gu Chongyang knew that Hua Rong was shy, but he didn't care, and only smiled and nodded at Hua Rong.

It's okay if she doesn't laugh, when she laughs, Hua Rong feels that all the flowers are blooming at this moment, and he is bathed in the spring sunshine, and the whole person is about to melt.

When Mrs. Hua came in, she saw her son looking at the little girl in front of her in a daze, his face turned red, and his mouth was about to grin behind his ears.

What a fool!

Staring at other people's girls like this, it won't scare people away!

"Why are you standing here? It's going to be a banquet soon, Sister Ling shouldn't take you Sister Gu to sit soon. Mrs. Hua smiled and said, "Brother Rong'er go outside." ”

Hua Rong reluctantly glanced at Gu Chongyang and went to the outer world as he said.

Due to the initial recovery from a serious illness, Mrs. Hua was afraid of losing Valin's blessing, so this birthday banquet was particularly simple, so she had a hearty lunch, and there was no other arrangement.

After the banquet was dispersed, Gu Chongyang proposed to say goodbye, she had a rare trip, Valin naturally did not let go, Gu Chongyang missed Valin very much, and the two went back to Valin's boudoir.

In June, the weather is very hot, and the afternoon sun is particularly scorching, even if you hide in the shade, you still feel steaming.

An ice basin was placed in Valin's house, and two little girls were talking while lying on the bed covered with a new cool flute.

"Sister Gu, what's in your box?"

Hualing put the small box that Gu Chongyang gave her on her stomach, and her white tender hand touched it without a match.

Gu Chongyang knew that with Valin's temperament, he would definitely not be able to help it. She smiled and took the small box from Valin's stomach and opened it to show her: "It's a pair of gold bracelets." ”

The gold bracelets are small and lovely, polished delicately smooth, carved with moth butterfly flowers, and there are two gold bells on each bracelet.

Valin liked it at first sight, quickly put it on his hand, and raised his arm high to show Gu Chongyang: "Sister Gu, look, is it good-looking?" ”

The little girl's arms are thin and soft, her skin is fair and delicate, and she looks particularly good with a golden bracelet.

"It's so pretty!" Gu Chongyang praised: "This is what I personally selected for Sister Ling, can it not look good?" ”

"Thank you, Sister Gu." Valin was happy, and kept shaking his two arms, and the little bell made a sound, and Valin liked it more and more, shaking his arms from time to time.

Playing and playing, Valin didn't move, Gu Chongyang looked at it, and saw that her breathing was steady and long, her little belly was bulging, and she was already asleep.

She smiled, covered Valin with a thin quilt, and walked out of the room.

After sitting outside for a while, Hua Rong came.

Gu Chongyang hurriedly said: "Sister Ling is asleep. ”

Hua Rong couldn't help but be happy, his sister has the habit of taking a nap, and he deliberately chose to come over now, just to be able to be alone with Miss Gu.

Afraid of waking up his sister, Hua Rong lowered his voice and said, "Miss Gu, I'm here to find you." ”

Hua Rong's hands were clenched tightly, I don't know if it was because he was shy and nervous, or because he was walking in the sun just now, his face was red at the moment, and his face was sweaty.

Seeing that Gu Chongyang didn't mean to be angry, he looked at himself quietly, and when he continued, Hua Rong became even more nervous: "I...... Something to think about...... Tell you, can you come out for a while? ”

"Okay." Gu Chongyang nodded: "There is a pavilion at the back of the courtyard, let's go there and talk." ”

The pavilion was built at the junction of several courtyards, and the maids and women came and went. Going there to talk will not disturb Valin, but also avoid the embarrassment of being alone in the same room.

Seeing that Gu Chongyang agreed, Hua Rong was overjoyed: "Then I'll wait for you first." ”

In fact, he wanted to walk side by side with her, but he was afraid that Miss Gu would be angry and that Miss Gu's reputation would be ruined.

However, Miss Gu was very happy that she could agree to go out to talk to him.

Hua Rong walked towards the pavilion with his mouth cocked, took two steps and stopped, looked back at Chongyang and said, "It's a big day outside, don't be in such a hurry, hold an umbrella and walk slowly." ”

His voice was soft and soft, like coaxing a child.

He must often coax Valin like this, that's why he is so careful. is really worthy of being an elder brother, and he is indeed very good at caring about people.

Gu Chongyang smiled: "Okay, thank you for the reminder, you should also go slowly." ”

Hua Rong was even more excited, and his eyes were shining: "Miss Gu, don't worry, I'm ...... I don't feel hot. ”

As he spoke, he walked away with a crimson on his cheeks.

Amin was a little unhappy: "Hua Gongzi is really, what can't be said here, it's so hot outside, and Miss's skin is so delicate, how can you stand it!" He wants to make barbecue himself, just go and take the lady to do something. ”

While complaining, he took the medicine bag to repel mosquitoes and put it in Gu Chongyang's purse. There are a lot of flowers and trees planted in the pavilion, and you can't wear this thing.

Thinking of Hua Rong's sweaty head and red cheeks just now, it was indeed a bit like roasted meat.

Gu Chongyang smiled: "Don't arrange Hua Gongzi, he is afraid of disturbing Sister Ling's lunch break, he is a considerate brother." ”

"He is considerate of his sister, but he wants her to suffer!" Amin pursed her lips, thinking that if she let Jiurou know, she and Amin would definitely be scolded.

Jiulang is reluctant to let Miss get it.

This Hua Rong puts his sister first and puts the young lady behind, and just wants the young lady to marry him, it's just a leper who wants to eat swan meat □□.

Amin took the fan and muttered in his heart as he went out the door.

Ana held an umbrella and covered Gu Chongyang's head, and the two of them protected Gu Chongyang in the middle, one left and one right.

Even so, when he walked to the pavilion, Gu Chongyang's face was still slightly red, and a layer of sweat appeared on his body.

Hua Rong had a belly of words and imagined Gu Chongyang talking, but Amin and Ana, who followed Gu Chongyang like shadows.

Ana is okay, with a straight face and no expression, as long as he doesn't look at her. But Amin's eyes widened and swept around him like two demon mirrors, as if he were a bad guy with bad intentions.

Hua Rong just has a lot of words, but he can't say it.

"Miss Gu, I have something to tell you." As he spoke, he glanced at Amin and Ana: "Can these two sisters go to rest elsewhere first?" ”

Gu Chongyang turned around and looked at it, and said to the two maidservants, "You two stand under a few trees over there." ”

The trees grew tall and luxuriant, casting shade on the ground, and the two of them would not be exposed to the sun when they stood there. The most important thing is that it is not far or close to the pavilion, so that you can clearly see every move in the pavilion without hearing them speak.

Ana's mission was to protect Gu Chongyang's safety, knowing that it was a safe distance, he turned around and left.

Amin handed the fan to Gu Chongyang: "If it's hot, Miss, remember to play the fan, don't get heat stroke." ”

Then he glared at Hua Rong fiercely before leaving.

Gu Chongyang shook his head helplessly, and then asked Hua Rong gently: "Master Hua, what do you have to tell me?" ”

Hua Rong was ready to ask Gu Chongyang with a stomach, but he was glared at by Amin just now, and he didn't know if it was because he was weak or what was going on, and he couldn't ask all the words when he came to his mouth.

"Miss Gu, I'...... I would like to ask if you will be attending this year's Yaoqin Festival? ”

"Participated." Gu Chongyang nodded: "Hua Gongzi, do you also participate?" ”

"Yes." Hua Rong's palms were sweaty: "Then have you found the right person for the piano?" ”

To the piano people?

Gu Chongyang was a little puzzled.

She didn't understand what Hua Rong meant.

The Yaoqin Festival has changed from a pianist competition to please the queen to a grand gathering of young boys and girls.

After years of improvement, the people who participated in the competition at the Yaoqin Festival were divided into the Shuyuan group and the Junyan group.

The content of the competition is also divided into piano fighting and piano like a project.

The piano fight is a solo performance, and the top three in the Shuyuan group and Junyan group are selected respectively, this project is relatively ordinary, whoever has the highest piano skills wins, and the top three can make a big show.

The piano is very different, it is selected by the Shuyuan group and the Junyan group, and the two play together, and the piano music is harmonious. This requires a high degree of tacit understanding between the two, and the better the cooperation between the two, the more beautiful the natural music will be.

And the pair with the highest degree of cooperation will be talked about for a long time.

Many famous Shuyuan and Takato Toshihiko are married to each other, and the first place in the pair of qin has the highest probability of getting married.

Even if you can't be the first place, many people can find soulmates at the Yaoqin Festival.

Over time, the annual Yaoqin Festival has become the most popular blind date festival in Beijing. Young boys and girls can choose their favorite objects in a bright and bright way, harmonize with him, and test each other's hearts.

Seeing that Gu Chongyang didn't talk, Hua Rong's heart became cold.

He's delusional! Miss Gu is so beautiful, and she is a disciple of Mrs. Baozhen, how can no one want to play the piano with her?

In other words, Miss Gu actually already has a favorite object!

Hua Rong felt that his heart was sore and painful as if he had been caught, but he had to squeeze out an ugly smile and said sadly: "It turns out that Miss Gu already has someone who is on the piano, and I am abrupt." ”

"Hua Gongzi is too polite." Gu Chongyang saw that his face was not good-looking, so he pointed to the stone bench in the pavilion and said, "Are you suffering from heat stroke, sit down and talk." ”

Hua Rong wanted to escape from this sad place immediately, but his legs and feet obediently walked to the stone bench and sat down as if he did not obey the call.

Gu Chongyang saw that he was dumbfounded, wooden, and became more and more sure that he was suffering from heat stroke.

She put her hand on Hua Rong's forehead, and when she saw that his forehead was hot and sweaty, she went to give him a pulse.

Hua Rong was short of breath, and his heart was pounding and almost jumping out of his chest.

Miss Gu touched his forehead and touched his hand!

Although he knew that she was treating him, his mind couldn't help but think about it, and he only felt that Gu Chongyang's hands were the best breeze in the world, blowing away the heat and discomfort all over his body.

Gu Chongyang gave him a good pulse, and when he saw that he was not suffering from heat stroke, he withdrew his hand.

The gentle touch disappeared, Hua Rong felt deeply regretful, and Gu Chongyang's crisp and delicate voice came from his ears again: "Hua Gongzi, I don't have a person who plays the piano." ”

Hua Rong's eyes widened, and he looked at Gu Chongyang in disbelief: "Miss Gu, what you said is true?" ”

"It's true." Gu Chongyang nodded: "I have never participated in the Yaoqin Festival before, and I don't know anything about the Yaoqin Festival. ”

Gu Chongyang really didn't understand.

In her previous life, she was raised crooked by Ge Bilian, she didn't understand anything, she was a straw bag beauty, she had always been squeezed out by famous and noble women, and she was not qualified to participate in such a lofty event as the Yaoqin Festival. Yes, she didn't pay attention either.

Later, she learned to play the piano, but people were in Liangxiang Grange, and they couldn't get in touch with these things.

It turns out that Miss Gu has no one to play the piano!

That is, he still has a chance.

Hua Rong was excited, and hurriedly explained: "In addition to the fighting of the piano in the Yaoqin Festival, the piano is also based on the ranking, and the higher the ranking in the piano competition, the more priority there is in selecting the right piano person." Of course, those who are selected also have the right to refuse. In order to avoid being rejected and embarrassed when the time comes, many people will find someone to make an appointment in advance so that they will not be embarrassed when the time comes. ”

I see.

Gu Chongyang roughly understood: "Hua Gongzi, have you found the right person for the piano?" ”

Is Miss Gu inviting him?

"No, no." Hua Rong's face was red, and he suddenly twisted a little: "So, I want to invite Miss Gu to be the person who plays the piano in my Yaoqin Festival, I wonder if Miss Gu is willing to play the piano with me?" ”

Except for Wang Jiulang, she really hasn't played the piano with anyone else.

However, the people who participated in the Yaoqin Festival in the past were all enthusiastic and unrestrained teenagers and girls, and most of them were rushing to become famous, will Jiulang participate?

Gu Chongyang thought of Wang Jiulang's coldness, sitting with a large number of Mu Ai teenagers with sparse eyebrows, how could he think about it and feel particularly disobedient.

Gu Chongyang couldn't help laughing, Jiu Lang was definitely not so boring.

"Is Hua Gongzi afraid that he will be rejected if he invites other famous Shuyuan?" She looked at Hua Rong with crooked eyebrows: "It's the first time I've participated in the Yaoqin Festival, and there is no one to play the qin for the time being, if that day comes, Hua Gongzi doesn't have the right person, just invite me, I will definitely not refuse Hua Gongzi." ”

Hua Rong thought that Gu Chongyang would promise to be his only opponent, but he didn't expect that she just said that she would not refuse.

Although it is also for the qin, this also means that Gu Chongyang will not refuse other people's invitations to the qin.

This made him feel slightly disappointed.

Miss Gu is beautiful, has good piano skills, knows medical skills, and is a disciple of Mrs. Baozhen, and on that day, there must be many people who invite her.

She is such a good person, this time she participated in the Yaoqin Festival as a disciple of Mrs. Baozhen, and she will definitely not refuse others to embarrass others.

During this time, he must practice the piano hard, strive to be in the top few in the piano competition, and become the first person to play the piano with Miss Gu.

As long as he achieves a good ranking and complements Miss Gu when he is on the piano, others are afraid of making a fool of themselves, so they will naturally retreat.

Thinking about it like this, Huarong has confidence again.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the middle of June, and the weather is hot day by day, let alone going out, even sitting in the house without moving will sweat. Wealthy families have long used ice, but Wang Jiulang has not even used a piece of ice this year because of his treatment and strict compliance with the requirements of taking care of Chongyang.

Sweating a lot, Wang Jiulang loves to be clean, and he can't use ice and cold water to cool off the heat, so he can only rely on frequent bathing to solve the problem.

He took a shower, changed into a clean muslin cotton robe, and waited for Gu Chongyang while reading.

When Gu Chongyang came, he saw such a scene: the carved Arhat was covered with a white jade cushion on the cool collapse, and a man with a face like a crown of jade, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a well-defined silhouette was very casually half-leaning on the cool collapse, he pillowed one arm behind his head, and read the book very seriously in one hand. The arm holding the book was half-raised, and the wide sleeve had faded to the crook of the arm, revealing a strong, white arm like jade.

He is like a jade, and Lie Song is lying there idly like a jade, with a fairy-like appearance and posture, which makes people's eyes look straight.

Gu Chongyang retracted his reluctant eyes, touched his wrist, and then compared Jiulang's arm, only to find that his arm was very slender, lowered his head and secretly glanced at it, feeling that the skin on Jiulang's arm was as white as his own, and couldn't help but secretly envy Jiulang's skin as a man was so white, God was really unfair!

Wang Jiulang put down the book, got up from the cold collapse, and walked in front of her.

When he was lying down, he didn't feel that when he stood up, Wang Jiulang was very tall, and Gu Chongyang had grown taller in the past two years, but it was still only to his shoulders, and when he looked at him, he was just facing the place under his neck.

In order to wait for the convenience of taking medicine and undressing, Wang Jiulang casually draped a robe on his body, the robe was light and thin, sticking to him, and only tied a thin belt at will, Wang Jiulang's good figure with wide shoulders, narrow waist, long arms and long legs was presented in front of Gu Chongyang's eyes at a glance.

There is also his slender and white neck, well-defined collarbones, and the firm and tight upper half of his chest are also exposed.

Gu Chongyang's eyes swept slightly, and his gaze couldn't help but be attracted by his good figure, and his eyes became a little unnatural.

Wang Jiulang saw her staring at her naked with fiery eyes. The exposed skin, like a puppy seeing a bone, his eyes lit up and he was almost drooling, and he shook his head amusefully and helplessly.

This little girl, don't you know how seductive her eyes are at this time!

If you are an ordinary person, how can you hold it?

Thinking of the changes in his body in the past month, he knew that this time was really different, the little girl really used the right method, and she could really cure him.

If she likes it, just show her, anyway, it's just a matter of sooner or later.

He simply took two steps forward, almost clinging to her, his chest facing her face, almost touching the tip of her nose.

Firm, powerful, white-flowered ...... It is more sturdy than the laborers she saw doing rough work and carrying buns on the shore on the way to Taihu Lake before, and she is full of beauty and strength.

Gu Chongyang felt that he was about to have a nosebleed.

She wanted to poke with her fingers, pick at them with her fingertips.

Wang Jiulang's slightly helpless voice came from overhead: "Can we start now?" ”

Damn it!

How she was stunned! It's useless!

Gu Chongyang then remembered that she was here to see Jiulang, she hurriedly took a step back, and her face had turned pink.

After doing such a shameful thing, Gu Chongyang dared to raise his head, so he just said, "It's okay." ”

The eyelashes trembled slightly, his face flushed, and he gently bit his seductive red lips with his teeth after speaking.

The little girl's shy appearance was simply a plate of delicacies, Wang Jiulang couldn't bear to swallow his saliva, took a deep breath, and turned around to go behind the screen.

Gu Chongyang patted his face, waited for a while, took the acupuncture bag, and walked in.

It's been a month, and it doesn't hurt as much as it started with, but it still hurts.

Therefore, Gu Chongyang had to stay by Wang Jiulang's side.

The brewing medicine was very hot, the room was full of mist, Wang Jiulang sat in the bathtub, revealing his two arms, but the atmosphere at this time was not as charming and ambiguous as just now, and some were only nervous.

Wang Jiulang's whole body was red, his head was sweating like pulp, and his teeth were clenched but still trembling slightly.

Gu Chongyang's face was solemn, and according to his reaction, needles were applied to his arms and back.

She didn't dare to speak, for fear that she would be distracted and make a mistake.

Like the previous month, the two were silent, but they were all doing their best.

When it was almost over, Wang Jiulang suddenly spoke: "Chongyang, it's been a month, how is my situation?" ”

His voice was tired, not at all clear.

Gu Chongyang was very distressed when he heard this, but he didn't answer, and after holding his breath and taking back all the silver needles on his body, he said: "Very good, Jiulang practiced internal kung fu, and his recovery was much faster than ordinary people." It doesn't take a year and a half to heal, eight to ten months is enough. ”

Wang Jiulang's brow, which was only furrowed from pain, suddenly relaxed.
