Chapter 164: What the Heart Thinks
The so-called winter is also the end of the year.....
The beginning of winter is approaching, and the drizzle is cold and there is no frost.
Gu Xiaoman stood under the court, looked up at the sky that had already darkened, and the smoke rising from the cooking of some people's cooking in the distance....
I pulled the outermost velvet jacket, but I still felt that the wind was getting in.....
Looking at the pitch-black sedan chair not far away, and the Xuan Ye who opened the sedan curtain and waited for her to enter the sedan chair, he took a breath of cold air and said, "Your master let me go over at this time, but you want to invite me to dinner?" ”
Xuan Ye said: "If Boss Gu wants to be anything, tell his subordinates that it is..."
Gu Xiaoman: "........"
I almost forgot that this Xuan butler is also Chu Luo's personal chef......
In the end, I still lifted the steps and entered the sedan car.
There are no more people on the street at this hour, the drizzle outside is silent, Gu Xiaoman is a little drowsy leaning there, the sedan wall is covered with layers of velvet all around, no matter how cold it is outside, it is indeed quite warm inside....
She leaned on her eyelids and half-mouthed, thinking about what Jiang Yao had said to her before....
"Now Wei Nanfeng's wife is actually a continuation, Wei Nanfeng's ex-wife doesn't seem to be in good health, and Wei Ru died of illness not long after, and now this housewife seems to be called ...... Zhou Jin, a peasant girl from an ordinary family, heard that she had saved Wei Nanfeng many years ago, Wei Nanfeng has always remembered it, and later after being crowned a general, he immediately came to the door to propose..... In fact, not many people know about this matter, because his Xu Xian doesn't seem to be in very good health, and he basically doesn't go out on weekdays, and she rarely goes to the parties of those noble wives in Yaodu..... But although the person has not arrived, every time the ceremony is in place, and although the two brothers and sisters of the Wei family are not her own children, she treats them better than some people's biological ones, so she is still quite good in the reputation of the wives of Yaodu, everyone talks about them and their husbands and wives, saying that Wei Nanfeng's affection and righteousness are just worthy of Zhou Jin's gentle and virtuous lady........."
Affectionate and righteous? Gu Xiaoman despised it in her heart, maybe some people's faces were really just because of this, anyway, she had thoroughly experienced the four words of ruthlessness in him, and the pinch of her chin forced her to say the face of the red fox with a hideous face, even after so many years, she still remembered it vividly.
But over the years, Wei Nanfeng really hasn't done anything that can make people hold the handle, compared to Zhao Qingshan, who is also a fake military ration and a private pig iron, Wei Nanfeng is much more low-key, every day after the court, he goes out of the city to the city defense camp to train, and when he arrives, he doesn't even have any bad habits......
Maybe that's what made Gu Xiaoman neglect to pay attention to his inner courtyard....
The footsteps of the eight people carrying the sedan chair were very fast, and it didn't take long for the sedan chair to arrive at the east chamber of Baifu, and the sound of Xuanye came from outside.
"Boss Gu, it's here...."
Gu Xiaoman raised his eyelids, a little half-asleep, snorted, opened the curtain and went out, it was very warm outside, because the sedan chair was carried directly into the house, and the four stoves in the corner of the house were burning red charcoal, which made Xiang Lai cold in winter Gu Xiaoman felt a little warm....
She walked into the back room, and the person on the bed had put the book down on the quilt and looked up at her.
"Coming?"
He is the same today as that day, his black hair is scattered on his shoulders at will, he only wears a light undershirt, his face is still pale, but Xu is warm in the room, his lips are quite red, his face is very good-looking, at this moment the house has been lit up a dim yellow lamp, illuminating his facial features more distinct, the dark eyes of the past, today seems to be a layer of hazy, so that there is a touch of softness in it.....
She looked stunned, and then saw the corner of his mouth seem to smile, only to realize that she was in his male color again, and then looked away in embarrassment, and then pretended to be very sleepy and snorted
"It's just past unitary, why are you sleepy?"
Seeing that she stopped not far from the bed, he had to reach over and bring her over.
Gu Xiaoman stumbled under his feet, half-closed his eyes and said, "Because there is Yan Ruyu in the dream and the golden house in the dream...."
Hearing this, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her by the waist and took her into his arms.
"Do you have me in your dreams?"
He leaned over, their faces suddenly tightened, and she could even feel his hot and wet breath across her cheeks, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that her face was a little embarrassed under the soft eyes.
Her mouth opened for a while, and she couldn't help but say, "Chu Luo, how did you become like this?" ”
He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? What has become of it? ”
She frowned: "It's become a ruffian, it's become bad....."
He smiled a little: "It's not like someone took it badly..."
"......" Gu Xiaoman, "You can't be me, right?" ”
"What do you say?"
The corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, and the hot fingertips seemed to rub her ears and temples, the temperature should be contagious, she thought, otherwise, how could the place where his fingertips rub suddenly seem to burn? This burning heat continued to flow down from the ears and temples until it reached the place in the chest and began to beat wildly....
Then his face grew closer, his breath grew thicker, and her hands suddenly pressed against his chest.
"Chu Luo, where did you get your confidence, you think that after twelve years, I still like you?"
He couldn't help but be stunned, she tried hard to push him away, but he didn't move, his soft eyes just had a happy color, but because of her words, he frowned slightly.
"Gu Xiaoman, then where do you get your confidence to think I don't like you?"
She was stunned, and repeated the four words almost reflexively: "You. . . Like me? ”
Chu Luo seemed to sigh, he really didn't know what to say, if he didn't like her, he would look for her for so many years? If he didn't like her, would he go to live in her nameless house? He doesn't like her, will he detoxify her without his life?
"But... But don't you have a girl you like? The girl who would eat a piece of pastry if you thought of her...."Gu Xiaoman asked with round eyes.
Chu Luo smiled and scratched her nose.
"Do you like pastries?"
Gu Xiaoman nodded, and then realized something, his eyes were full of disbelief.
The so-called authorities are fascinated, it is her state, don't look at her in the fun when the old man is at ease, but when she encounters her own affairs, she is still confused, in fact, she is not to blame her for this, when Xiang Lai was Chu Luo ran, she chased, she took the initiative, Chu Luo refused, so that she gradually began to lose confidence in herself, even if she could see the purpose of all the men's actions to have fun, she couldn't see Luo's clearly, this is the sequelae of a person who is habitually rejected.
Her eyes suddenly turned red, and the mist began to rise, and he was startled, and was about to ask her what was wrong, but she put her arms around his neck.
sniffed and said: "Chu Luo, you obviously said that you didn't like me all your life, but now you are so rebellious, be careful to become a big fat man in the future..."
He smiled and patted her head, "Judging by the amount of food you and me, your chances are greater..."
Gu Xiaoman snorted and was silent.
Chu Luo pushed her away slightly, gently held her shoulder, and said, "Ah Luo, I... It may not say nice things, but you remember, here'....." He held her hand and gently put it on his chest: "With you.., so promise me that no matter what happens in the future, just believe me..."
Gu Xiaoman looked at him and nodded, his eyes were a little dumbfounded, a little stupid, because this kind of scene where Chu Luo spoke to her so gently had only happened in her dreams before, her eyes that had just receded from tears were shining, her cheeks were a little red because of the rubbing on his shoulders just now, and she also snorted her nose as if she didn't have any, that look, like a little white rabbit who is being bullied.
Chu Luo's heart moved, he leaned down and kissed on that seductive little mouth...
It seems that the butterfly that has been spinning for a long time has finally landed on the long-desired flower and picked sweet flower juice.....
The two of them breathed staggered, and the temperature in the room became hot....
Her eyes began to blur, but she was still on the edge of reason, and the hand nudged his shoulder.
"Etc.. Wait a minute, you... Your poison...."
But the next words disappeared from his mouth...
The bed tent falls lightly, hiding the alluring spring color....
The next day, Gu Xiaoman woke up at noon, she turned her head slightly, and the people around her were leaning there in good spirits looking at something.
The man's eyebrows were picturesque, his eyelashes were lightly cast on the side of his nose, and the sunlight fell obliquely from the lintel on that side, striking his shoulder, and his whole being seemed to melt into the light.....
"Is it pretty?" He asked suddenly.
She pointed to her chin and nodded, "Beautiful." ”
"Can't you get tired of watching it?" He put down the book and turned his head to smile rather than smile.
She grinned: "I don't get tired of watching it....." and then poked her head over: "You don't get tired of reading some books every day, how can you get tired of me looking so good?" ”
Then he flipped through the book on his lap and saw the word "Buddha's Language".
........
"You... Is this a plan to become a monk? The corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
Tossed with her until midnight last night, got up early in the morning to read Buddhist books, how did he manage to wade through the red dust while being meticulous?
He leaned his face over slightly: "It seems that what I did last night was not obvious enough, and I let you still have such a misunderstanding...."
She leaned back again and again: "Then why do you read this kind of book?" ”
"Is there anything wrong with reading this kind of book?"
She nodded: "Of course, it will make people misunderstand that you plan to stay away from the red dust.... ”
He raised his eyebrows: "Just reading this book, can it still be like this?" ”
"Of course..."She suddenly thought of something, her eyes crossed with a touch of cunning, and she grinned, "No, I'll bring you a book to read..."
Last night, she even said that she was broken, hehe, then she didn't fulfill the following really brought that hat in vain.....
Lunch was eaten in bed, Xuan Ye was worthy of Chu Luo's personal chef, and her cooking skills naturally had nothing to say, after she was full of food and drink, she sighed sincerely: "Steward Xuan, the girl who marries you in the future must be very happy...."
Before Xuan Ye could speak, Chu Luo had already raised his eyebrows and spoke: "Why do you say that?" ”
"He is so good at cooking, so won't his future wife be able to enjoy food every day, and won't she be happy?" She said with a look of envy.
Chu Luo glanced at Xuan Ye as if he didn't seem to have any, Xuan Ye's back was slightly cold, and he hurriedly said: "My subordinates don't plan to marry, if Boss Gu wants to eat, he can come to the palace often..."
After speaking, without waiting for Gu Xiaoman to say anything, he walked out quickly.
Chu Luo raised his eyes, grabbed her hand, and took her into his arms: "What else do you want to ask, just ask this king..."
Gu Xiaoman saw his somewhat displeased look, and was a little unclear: "It's nothing, I just want to ask Steward Xuan if he found the lucky bag..."
"Since it's a blessing bag, why don't you ask this king?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone was not very good.
She blinked: "Didn't you say it, that thing was put by Steward Xuan?" Naturally, I'll have to ask him..."
He reached out and picked her chin, "Really?" I thought that Boss Gu was deliberately looking for an opportunity to talk to Steward Xuan? ”
Deliberately? She listened with a confused face, why did she want to do it on purpose... What is this, why did she suddenly want to talk to Steward Xuan, and she was about to open her mouth to refute it.
He said again: "I have long heard that Boss Gu prefers men, especially for men with slightly better appearance, not to mention eating tofu, cuddling and hugging is even more commonplace.. Didn't Boss Gu take a fancy to Steward Xuan? ”
She was about to refute the words and suddenly got stuck there, the first few were true, she did like the handsome little brother, but the last one.
"Chu Luo, you want to add to the crime, why do you want to add to it, I don't look down on anyone who wants to win people around you, right?" She said with round eyes.
His eyes narrowed slightly: "Who do you really look at?" Say, who? ”
She put her hands around his neck with a smile: "Who else can I look down on, except for you, no one can look down on him..."
"But last night someone clearly said that twelve years have passed, and he doesn't like me anymore..."
"Angry talk...."
"What about the preference for men?"
"Uh...."The corners of his mouth stiffened in embarrassment: "That... Isn't that a job requirement..."
"Need for work? What is needed? Need you to touch a man? Need you to eat men's tofu? After saying that, his eyes were cold, let go of her, leaned there and picked up the book of Buddha again.
Gu Xiaoman: "........."
This.... Are you angry?
She cautiously reached out and tugged at his sleeve, and he shook it off, and she slowly moved her ass over, leaning on his shoulder, and he moved next to him, leaving her head empty.
......
The first time I found out, this man turned over the old accounts, and he also smelled of vinegar....
Stretched his head over, kissed him on the face, he paused, and then swept his eyes over, but in his eyes, there was some complaint, like the woman who was burdened by a man.
Gu Xiaoman wanted to laugh a little, but he still held back, and said with a serious face: "Okay, admit that some of my previous actions were out of line, but I promise that I will never touch any man again except you in the future, okay?" ”
He stared at her for a moment, then leaned over, "Okay...."
She panicked and hurriedly said, "Your body has just improved a little, and some things are still in moderation."
The latter words were directly drowned in his breath.....
Gu Xiaoman stayed in Baifu for two days, almost all of which were spent in bed, chatting, eating, reading, playing chess, occasionally.... Do exercise...
She really didn't expect it, why is this person in such good spirits? Didn't you say that you were unconscious a while ago and were in danger? It's a little too fast....
On the third day, she was hurriedly called back by Bai Qi, because the person who went back to get the lucky bag for Hua Hong was attacked....
"Attacked?" She frowned.
Hua Hong said: "Well, it seems that I met a robber halfway, and the lucky bag was snatched away..."
Actually grabbed an old lucky bag? Gu Xiaoman frowned suspiciously.
"You also think it's a little strange, right..."Hua Hong said: "Although the thousand-faced fox is not the top level, but each has been trained for several years, even if there are many people on the other side, they can't beat it, there should be a way to get out..."
Gu Xiaoman was silent for a moment and said, "What about people? Are there any injuries? ”
Hua Hong shook her head: "It's okay, the other party seems to just want something, and took everything from her...."
Gu Xiaoman pursed his lips, although it was a little strange, but it couldn't prove that the other party was for the lucky bag, after all, she had to tell others about the lucky bag except Jiang Yao and Hua Hong.
But in the evening, Jiang Yao brought a piece of news, Wei Nanfeng took Zhou Jin to leave Yaodu, saying that his body had been sick and weak, Wei Nanfeng was very worried, and looked for doctors everywhere, and later heard that there was a famous doctor in Ruizhou, so he waited for Zhou Jin to take a look.
If it was just a coincidence that the lucky bag was snatched away, then Zhou Jin's departure would be a bit too coincidental, and in this world, things that are too coincidental are not coincidences...
Gu Xiaoman thought about it for a night, and decided that she had to go to Baifu tomorrow, and now there was only Chu Luo's lucky bag left, no matter whether Zhou Jin was Yao Jin or not, she had to figure out this matter.
But the next day, she went to Baifu, in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, she asked Bai Qi to take her directly over the wall to the east chamber, but after entering, she found that there was no one in the house, Chu Luo was not there, not only Chu Luo, but even Xuan Ye and Chu Yi and other guards had already left, and asked the attendants who had served Chu Luo to know that Chu Luo had left Bai Mansion and returned to the Regent's Mansion this morning.
She hesitated, but she still planned to go to the Regent's Palace, although Nazai was also there, but the palace was so big, it shouldn't be so difficult to avoid....
For example, the attendant borrowed two sets of the maid's clothes and went to the palace while strolling.
Bai Qi followed behind her, also dressed in a small housedress, she looked at Gu Xiaoman, who was humming a little song while eating sugar gourds, raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm in a good mood..."
Gu Xiaoman turned his head to look at her: "Of course I was in a good mood when I ate sugar, my mouth was sweet, and my heart was also sweet..."
Bai Qi shook his head: "It's not because of sugar..."
Gu Xiaoman he.....he
But who would have thought that she didn't finish the string of sugar gourds after all, and the sugar was not sweet to her heart after all...
Because the one in front of him, who had told him not to touch anyone else, was now holding another woman in his arms and hurriedly got into the carriage......
