The people in the room were silent......

Gu Yunxi panicked: "Sister, don't be angry, listen to my explanation......"

"Yunxi, don't be deceived by that eunuch's rhetoric!"

Suddenly, the wooden door trembled, and Gu Yunyao in the room reacted extremely violently, constantly banging on the door with her fists, her voice was poignant and angry.

"He's lying to you! Don't go with him! Don't-"

"Sister! Sister, listen to me! ”

Gu Yunxi was worried that the eldest sister's excessive reaction would attract the nurses, so he also knocked on the door outside and begged her to be quiet.

Finally, Gu Yunyao was tired and leaned against the door panel to gasp. I haven't eaten well in a few days, how much strength can a girl who has only turned sixteen have?

"Yunxi, you are too simple, and you are the easiest to believe in other people's words. I don't know exactly what the eunuch is trying to do, but you must not go with him. East Factory ...... Not a girl's place to go......"

Shocked, Gu Yunyao panted slightly, and slowly advised Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi lowered his head sadly, and a sad voice came into Gu Yunyao's ears through the crack in the door:

"But, but...... You're about to enter the palace...... In the future, who else can I rely on but him......"

Gu Yunyao's eyes widened suddenly, her lips trembled, and she stopped talking. After a moment of silence, she closed her eyes unusually tiredly.

"Sister, you believe me! I'll get there and learn a bit of a skill and leave. As long as I have the ability to survive, I will be able to support myself wherever I go in the future. You must wait for me in the tribute courtyard, another day when the overlord is in a good mood, I will beg him again to let you go, and don't send you to the palace again! You must wait for me! ”

Ay! My silly clouds......

Gu Yunyao was still silent, and a pair of apricot eyes welled up with misty tears.

Gu Yunxi stood in front of the door and waited, but he still couldn't hear the movement inside, thinking that the eldest sister was really angry. Flattened her mouth, she felt so aggrieved.

"Cloud Tide...... When you get there, remember to take care of yourself......"

Suddenly, Gu Yunyao's forbearant but helpless voice floated out of the door.

Gu Yunxi immediately came to his senses, and his expression was happy:

"Yes! Sister, don't worry! ”

"I have one more thing to entrust you......"

"You say, sister, I'll do it for you!"

"No matter when you leave to go to Dongchang, if you have the chance, go to Zhao Prison to find Zhao An...... Tell him that if he can go out, live a good life, and don't ...... anymore Stop thinking about me...... Tell him to forget me! ”

Gu Yunyao said slowly and weakly, her voice becoming more and more shaky. Suddenly paused, and finished the last sentence in one breath, the crisp and neat tone seemed to her resolute heart.

"Sister......

Gu Yunxi didn't know what words of consolation to say at all.

I often hear people say: fate is not part, which means that two people who like and love each other may not be together in the end. At this moment, looking at the unattainable relationship between Gu Yunyao and Zhao An, it should be called fateless......

"Sister, don't worry! When I get to Dongchang, I must find Zhao An. However, you and he are not without a chance, you ......"

"Yunxi, bring him my original words!"

Without waiting for Gu Yunxi to finish, Gu Yunyao repeated what she had just said again, this time her tone was obviously much heavier.

“…… Be. Yunxi, listen to my sister's words......"

Gu Yunxi's body trembled, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Inside the room, Gu Yunyao's voice changed back to its original calm:

"Well, you must remember. Go ahead, I'm tired and want to rest. ”

"That'...... I'll go first. Sister, I will come to see you again. ”

Gu Yunxi reluctantly left the door, walked down two steps and looked back at the door. Seeing that there was no movement in the house, he turned around and left.

——

It was dark very early in early autumn. A faint mist floats in the dark sky, the light of the stars is bright and flickering, and a cool evening breeze blows through the grass where the autumn insects live.

At this hour, the lights were lit inside and outside the Youzhu Tribute Courtyard. The candlelight shines through the red silk on the outer layer of the lantern, which emits a unique bright red light, decorating the eaves and corridors of this imperial courtyard with extraordinary brightness and brilliance.

Leng Qingtang had dinner in the East Hall and was ready to return to the East Factory. I haven't returned for a few days, and there has been a lot of official work over there.

"Master Overseer, you're good to go."

Gu's mother led Gu Yunjin and a few servants to send him all the way to the gate of the Tribute Courtyard.

Cheng Wanli, who was in charge of Xing Qianhu, came over early in the morning and led a team of people to wait outside the gate.

Cheng Wanli has been following Leng Qingtang for a long time. This burly and tall man with a square face and a black face belonged to Fanwei, and he had always been loyal to the Overseer, but if the Overseer explained things, he couldn't do it.

Seeing the overseer coming out of the courtyard, Cheng Wanli hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Overseer, everything is ready, please get on the sedan chair."

"Hmm."

Leng Qingtang responded lightly and took a few steps down the steps. Walking to the sedan chair, an attendant immediately bowed down and lifted the sedan curtain.

As if he had something on his mind, Leng Qingtang was not in a hurry to get on the sedan chair, but turned around, and his eyes frequently looked inside the tribute courtyard.

Cheng Wanli didn't know why, thinking that the overseer had something to order.

"Is there anything wrong with the Overseer?"

“…… It's okay, let's go. ”

Leng Qingtang was turning around, looking lonely. Just as he was about to lift his legs into the sedan chair, a clear voice suddenly came from behind:

"Wait, Lord...... Lord ...... Cold"

Gu Yunxi got out of the pile of people with a weak body and ran quickly to the front of the sedan chair. Her sudden appearance made his eyes light up, and his expression of loss instantly turned into a lot of relief.

The little girl in front of her was slender and soft, with a simple Huanshan bun on the side of her head, and only a simple plain silver hairpin was inserted next to the bun.

It's cold autumn now, and she only has an out-of-season cyan shirt around her, paired with a white pleated pomegranate skirt. A slender neck is exposed, and just looking at it makes people feel cold. Her humble body trembled slightly under the blowing of the dark night wind, as light as a thin paper kite.

"Overseer, I'm ...... I ......"

I just went to look in the east hall, but I didn't see a single figure, so Gu Yunxi ran desperately all the way from there to chase after him. At the moment, she was out of breath.

"Girl, don't worry, talk slowly......"

The moment his eyes stared, Leng Qingtang only felt that his heart was a little messy, and he felt too much pity.

"I, I...... I am willing to go to the East Factory with you! ”

After Gu Yunxi finished speaking in one breath, he looked up at Leng Qingtang's gorgeous face, the light in his eyes was like stars, and his expression was unusually determined.

"Hey, what is this girl talking about-"

Without waiting for Leng Qingtang to speak, Gu's mother quickly walked down the steps to the front of the sedan chair, and her wrinkled old face was long, full of displeasure:

"The Overseer has something important to do, don't make trouble, go back quickly!"

Only then did he reach out to pull Gu Yunxi away, but when he saw Leng Qingtang next to him a sharp look thrown over, Gu's mother was so frightened that she withdrew her hand and didn't dare to move anymore.

Leng Qingtang directly took off the thick black color eight balls of satin with the fire fox fur hooked robe that was draped on the outside of his body, and wrapped his hands around Gu Yunxi's body, wrapping her shivering body tightly.

"Let's go now!" His voice was deep and firm.

"...... now?" Gu Yunxi was stunned.

She just did what he wanted, and ran to give him an answer in the evening, but she didn't expect his decision to be so sudden.

"That's right! Let's go now and go to the East Factory! Eyes met, and he finished with a straight and decisive expression.

"Yes." She nodded. So far, she can only obey his arrangement. You have to follow him anyway, what's the difference between early and late?

Gu's mother stood aside and watched this sudden change, and felt more and more that Leng Qingtang's approach was indeed not a joke. With a smile on his face, he took a few more steps forward:

"My lord, what do you mean by this? The old man has done everything you commanded before, and he has sent someone outside to buy the new things that the girl's house needs. You're suddenly going to take people away, ...... You made me ......"

"Mother Gu, these girls were brought to the Tribute House by Ben Du himself. Now that Bendu wants to, why don't you go back?! ”

Leng Qingtang suddenly widened his phoenix eyes, and a chill oozed out of his words.

He was not angry that Gu's mother refused to let go, but he was angry at her treatment of Gu Yunxi for a long time. Had it not been for the public recurrence of her illness that gave him a chance to enter her bedroom, he really knew how much the poor girl would have to suffer in the yard.

"No, no, that's not what the old body meant......"

Gu's mother knew that he was angry, so she hurriedly changed her words:

"You know, Yunxi's health is not good, she can't even take care of herself...... How can I serve you......"

"How do you know that the girl in the stove here will not be able to become a climate when she arrives at Bentu?"

Leng Qingtang looked directly at Gu's mother, his eyes revealing fierceness. Seeing that she didn't dare to refute anything, she personally helped Gu Yunxi:

"Girl, let's get on the sedan chair."

The sedan chair is not large, and only one person can sit in it. Gu Yunxi sat in, and Leng Qingtang waved his hand to the attendant and asked him to lower the curtain.

"Lead a horse." He gave orders to the guards behind him.

Xiao Xiaoshen, the close attendant, took his mount, and Cheng Wanli, who was in charge of Xing Qianhu, stepped forward to stop him when he saw this. His complexion was originally dark, so he couldn't see anything unusual when he blacked out, and he could only see the boss's displeasure from his expression.

"Overseer, this ...... It's really out of line! ”

Leng Qingtang snatched the reins and squinted at him:

"Do you have an opinion?"

"Subordinates don't dare to ......"

Cheng Wanli shrunk his neck and retreated helplessly to the side.

Leng Qingtang turned over and got on the horse, Xiao Xiaoshen asked for a horse from a horseman, and then quickly rode on horseback, and set off with the team to protect the overseer and the sedan chair.

When the team walked away, Gu's mother became weak and sat on the ground.

Gu Yunjin was crazy next to him, and kept shouting:

"Oh, I said Gu's mother, why do you still have something to worry about! Didn't you promise Boss Li of Fu Fangzhai, who sells rouge gouache, early in the morning, to wait for the second wood's body to heal, and promise her to his crazy son? You have received half of the dowry, and now the people have run away, and you will see Boss Li in the future, how can you tell him! ”

Gu's mother beat her chest with remorse:

"You ask me, I ask who to go! Didn't you see it just now, that master wants to eat me, can I afford to mess with him? If you want to say that the master is really weird, what kind of eyes are there, why do you fall in love with such a thing?! ”
