Chapter 103: The Past
The mysterious man who was still hidden behind the gauze tent smiled slightly, and looked at the window lattice that had been moved: outside, there were roses under the courtyard, and there was only a bamboo pole on the windowsill, Qin Yao could stand for so long and so steadily, and his kung fu really couldn't be underestimated.
"The seventh brother's skills are getting better and better, and I didn't even notice it."
Qin Yao was wearing a crown of pearls and jades on his head, and he was still only wearing the pale purple embroidered Taoist robe with dark patterns of immortal crane and grass, and only a faint layer of makeup was applied to his face, which made his skin even more delicate - it was obviously just the makeup in the play, but there was nothing ridiculous on him at all.
He was supposed to be putting on makeup, but he couldn't get here, so he hurried over.
"Big brother's skills are even more eye-opening!"
He smiled meaningfully, but the smile turned empty and cold at the bottom of his eyes.
"I've heard everything Big Brother said."
"Oh? Then how are you going to do it, seventh brother? β
"Big brother, the scales in your heart are very stable and finely calculated, and the younger brother can only admire."
Qin Yao's eyes suddenly flashed, and the spear in his hand changed to a thorn-
"But I'm curious, what kind of face do you use to say this?"
Under the power of the spear, the entire gauze tent was torn to pieces, and the true face of the eldest brother's Lushan also appeared in front of the two.
Through the faint light outside the window, you can see that his face is delicate and elegant, his smile is amiable like a spring breeze and rain, and he is dressed in a blue shirt with a bachelor's scarf, which is even more beautiful, and his temperament is like a Zhilan jade tree.
The 'big brother' who controls the entire Jinlan Club is such a weak scholar?!
Qin Yao was stunned, and in the next moment, he only heard a low cry of surprise, full of shock and disbelief-
"It's you!!"
Xiao Gu couldn't stand this unexpected stimulation, the whole person lost his center of gravity and staggered, and the long sword in his hand also fell to the floor, making a loud noise.
Suddenly. The music upstairs stopped.
It was as if someone was asking what was going on, and then footsteps began to move towards the ground.
Qin Yao and the eldest brother glanced at each other, and immediately had a tacit understanding with their backhand, the eldest brother grabbed Xiao Gu and hid behind the screen in the corner, while Qin Yao began to stand on the platform casually and danced the spear in his hand.
Not long after, someone came down from the third floor, opened the door, and scolded a little arrogantly: "Several adults are listening to the play upstairs. Who dares to make noise here anymore!! β
Qin Yao hurriedly put down the spear in his hand, smiled slightly towards the door, and immediately let the other party's scolding swallow in his stomach, "It turns out that Boss Qin is practicing you!" β
"I'm really sorry, I made a noise by missing my hand for a while, but I disturbed the Yaxing of several adults...... Three glasses of wine will be punished later. β
The chief was suddenly overjoyed, "Boss Qin is willing to give face, that's the best, Ha Lu Ha ......"
He turned and walked away. When the footsteps were completely far away, the two people behind the screen slowly appeared.
"Let go of me!"
Xiao Gu desperately broke free from the grip of the eldest brother, and glared at him fiercely with shocked and excited eyes, "Brother Jing." It turned out to be you! β
Staring at his familiar and unfamiliar face, her gaze was blank, and her cheeks also flew red, I don't know if it was because of anger. Or for some other reason.
"Sister Rujun, it's me."
The other party's answer finally made her confirm. The man in front of her is Brother Jing, Jingyu, who she has been haunted by her dreams and has been waiting for many years, but has mysteriously disappeared.
Her body trembled slightly with excitement and shock, and her hands were twisted on the white edges of her cuffs, almost clutching into the fleshβshe looked at him so infatuatedly that she almost thought it was an absurd and bizarre dream in front of her!!
"How could it be you?"
She muttered, asked incoherently, and then eagerly grabbed the hem of his shirt, "Where have you been all these years?" β
103
The night breeze blew the wooden windows back and forth, squeaking against the window frames, and an oil lamp brought in by Qin Yao had been blown out - the light of the Chinese lanterns on the third floor was reflected and projected on the faces of the three people, but only the changing shadows remained.
In the face of Xiao Gu's questioning, the man in blue, who was the leader of the Jinlan Society, was silent, and the atmosphere in the inner room became strange and condensed.
Qin Yao didn't make a sound, just put away the wooden pole and quietly wiped the shiny gun head, but his eyes were focused on Xiao Gu and the 'big brother'.
Xiao Gu was trembling all over, his eyes widened blankly, and he muttered: "For so many years, I have been inquiring about the news of you, because you said that you would definitely come back to see me safely, but I really didn't expect ......"
She took a deep breath and continued in a low voice, "You would appear in front of me in such an identity! β
She came early tonight, regardless of the opposition of the seventh brother Qin Yao, and insisted on meeting the eldest brother Bingrong to make it clear.
She had calmly and calmly predicted many possibilities, but what was happening in front of her was beyond the limit of what she could accept in her heart!!
It turned out to be him!!
This is the most vicious joke God has played on her!
Xiao Gu was excited, only to feel a blur in front of her, and she was about to fall down when she stumbled under her feet - she had been tired for many days, and she inhaled too much smoke in the cellar fire and choked her lungs, coupled with the ups and downs just now, the whole person seemed to be tired and lost all her strength.
The man she called "Brother Jing" hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her at this time, "What's wrong with you?" β
The look of concern in his eyes was not fake, but Xiao Gu quickly slapped his hand away, and said in a cold and embarrassed whisper: "I'm fine!" β
"You haven't been injured for a long time, when will you be able to change your impulsive temperament?"
He sighed helplessly, but was glared at by her fiercely, "It's all thanks to you!" β
Qin Yao watched coldly from the side, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart: he had also known Xiao Gu for many years, she had always been calm and intelligent, even if she was in danger, she was at ease, but she had never seen her so emotionally exposed!
It's like ...... A cat that has been abandoned, with hair standing on end, fierce and embarrassed!
"Do you think I'm going to really watch you die?"
Jing Yu also frowned deeply at this time, and said in a deep voice: "How do you think Lan Ning and that kid found out that you were in danger underground?" β
Xiao Gu shook his head, and finally regained some consciousness, "It's Boss Huang's pigeon who reported the news-"
She finally came to her senses and asked in a sharp voice, "Is he your man?" β
Inexplicably, she felt a heat in her heart, and the dull pain of pins and needles eased at this time, but then she completely understood. Chills began to run all over his body, "In other words, this mission, from beginning to end, is under your surveillance and control?" β
"If you don't even have this ability, I am not qualified to be your big brother."
Such a calm and waveless answer, without deliberately exaggerating confidence, is a detached and calm in the chest.
Like a national player, gently pick up the chess pieces and put them in the center of the board. Settle the day.
Seeing that she was stunned, the other party immediately sighed: "However, you saw through my plan, but you also broke almost all my designs, plus the kid surnamed Shen reacted in time, although this operation was loud, it did not receive the expected effect...... Even Ji Gang, who was blown apart, was just a stand-in. My calculations still can't be said to be incomplete! β
His regretful sigh rang in his ears. She raised her head to look at the other party, but fell into that gentle and deep gaze, and her whole body shivered.
Terrible scheming, far-reaching layout...... Ruthlessness can sacrifice all determination. The person in front of her is both familiar and unfamiliar, not at all like the simple and kind, bookish and righteous little boy in her memory!
"Ayu, how did you become like this?!"
Xiao Gu couldn't hold back any longer. Whispered.
was called his nickname, and the man in blue couldn't help but clench his hands in his sleeves, and then let go again. He didn't show it on his face, but a gentle and sad smile appeared in his eyes, which made people's hearts ache-
"Rujun, what do you think I should become?"
Xiao Gu was stunned for a moment, his lips trembled, but he couldn't say a word.
The drums and music are playing in unison, and the excerpts upstairs are being performed to the end of the section of "Cai Lou Match", in the noisy gongs and drums, the people of the entire Chang'an City are crazy about the marriage of Wang Chengxiang's second daughter, but Xue Pinggui got the hydrangea.
Thinking of the allusion to this drama, Xiao Gu's eyes were fixed on Jing Yu, and grief flashed in his clear and moving eyes.
Her father, Hu Yan, was the secretary of the Dali Temple when Emperor Jianwen was established, but the weight of the saint was not below a few elders. Before Hu Mansion did not raid the house, there were also many dignitaries who came to visit and socialize, but Jing Yu and his father Jing Qing were the most shabby and inconspicuous among them.
Xiao Gu still remembers the scene when they first met-
Because she avoided the malicious push and beating of the maid, she accidentally pushed the paper into the small pond, the water in the pond was very shallow and only reached the waist of the person, but the note cried "scared and fainted", and the servants in the courtyard were so shocked that they hurriedly went to report to the master, and Xiao Gu suddenly knew that he was in trouble.
The little girl was only more than four years old, but her body was very flexible, and she escaped from the crowd's pursuit and interception, and ran to the wall next to the Hanging Flower Gate in one breath.
Because of excessive fear, she stepped on the rockery and pine branches on the wall three or two, and sat on the wall only to realize that she was already high above the ground.
Her two little short legs were dangling, but the expression on her face was helpless and frightened, and she was about to cry but stubbornly endured.
The shouts of chasing behind him got closer and closer, and the little Rujun gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and jumped out of the wall.
"Be careful!"
A childish and slightly hoarse voice sounded, and then she found herself falling to the ground, and it was a young boy of about ten years old who was pressed under her to make a meat pad.
Although Xiao Gu is in the inner courtyard, she has a strong curiosity about the outside world, and she has secretly run to the garden of the outer courtyard many times to peek at the guests who come to visit.
Most of them are dressed in gorgeous clothes, and some bearded people like to wear cloth robes, but the fabric is not bad, but only the young man in front of him, a lake blue robe has been washed white.
"It hurts......"
Just when Rujun was at a loss, the little brother on the ground stood up with a groan and pain, he picked up Rujun, who was still stunned, although he had a color on his face, he still smiled softly at her, "Little sister, are you okay?" β
Rujun's eyes widened and he shook his head.
The young man immediately raised his head, looked at the wall, squatted down and frowned and said to Rujun: "Don't climb the wall naughtyly, it's too dangerous!" (To be continued......)
