Chapter 146
"Zhao'er......" Gu Qingwan's gaze couldn't help but soften, and he called softly, he seems to have grown very fast in the past few months, and he has a tendency to grow taller after a few days.
When Gu Qingzhao was about to run in front of her, he slowed down, put his hands behind his back, blinked mischievously, and said mysteriously, "Sister, guess what I brought you?" ”
Gu Qingwan put down the scissors, held her pink cheeks with both hands, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, pretended to think hard, and said, "Is it something delicious?" ”
"Half right!" Gu Qingzhao took out a bamboo pole hidden behind him as if offering a treasure, and tied an iron hook to the bamboo pole.
"This is ......" Gu Qingwan looked at this thing, and suddenly she was in a trance, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.
"Sister, do you remember? There is a jujube tree in the courtyard of our academy, and we went to beat jujube at this time last year, and we are going to do it today, okay? ”
"Okay, I remember that the dates were fresh and tender, sweet and delicious."
Gu Qingwan remembered that in order to have a good relationship with Gu Qingzhao last year, she also went to beat dates with him.
"Then let's go, Wen Ze has already moved the basket and went first." Gu Qingzhao stretched out his hand towards Gu Qingwan, Gu Qingwan took his hand without hesitation, and the two happily went to the direction of the academy together.
Zilan looked at her young lady and the young master leaving together, and couldn't help but show a relieved smile on her face, and said, "When the county lord and the second young master are together, they are always the happiest, Zizhu, don't you say?" She smiled and asked.
Zizhu just nodded and didn't say much. In fact, she didn't need to say it to Zilando, she had already seen it
College.
Today's holiday, the entire academy is empty, and when Gu Qingwan walked in, she suddenly felt like she had traveled through time and space.
"Sister, you go down there, and I'll climb up the tree to fight." Gu Qingzhao rolled up his robe, tied a knot around his waist, and then neatly climbed the jujube tree that was said to be a hundred years old with a bamboo pole.
"Okay." Gu Qingwan came back to her senses, held a big bamboo basket high above her head with both hands, and waited for the dates to fall.
"I'm snorting!" Gu Qingzhao said loudly, and then hit the bamboo pole on the dates, and with a slight force, those dates fell like rain.
"Wow, that's a lot......" Gu Qingwan was like a back-to-basics child at the moment, running back and forth under the jujube tree with a bamboo basket, smiling in surprise, letting the jujube fall into her basket one by one.
Gu Qingzhao was playing dates, while looking down at the people under the tree through the cracks in the tree, the haze in her eyes was gone, she smiled so happily, the dappled sunlight fell on her face with a pink carved jade bracelet, her delicate facial features were even more feminine, and the blue satin dark flower chrysanthemum dress on her body floated with the wind with her running, like a flower blooming warmly.
His heart moved slightly, and he involuntarily stopped beating dates, just leaned on the branches, quietly looked at the people below, and a shallow smile quietly bloomed on his handsome and jade-like face.
He wanted his sister to be so happy forever!
"Zhao'er, it's really delicious, you come down and eat." Gu Qingzhao was looking at her figure in a trance, she suddenly raised her head, holding a date in her hand high, with a satisfied smile on her face.
"Okay." Gu Qingzhao put away that touch of thought, jumped down from the tree neatly, took the dates in Gu Qingwan's hand and took a bite into his mouth, the sweet juice flowed into his throat, he ate one in three or two clicks, and said, "There is nothing more delicious than the dates here." ”
"Well, I haven't eaten it in a year." Gu Qingwan looked at the basket of dates in front of her and said with a smile.
"Sister, I know that the second aunt went back to Lu's house to move the rescuers." At this time, Gu Qingzhao looked at Gu Qingwan's face and said.
"So what? I'm still afraid that she won't go, and it's time to deal with the Lu family. Gu Qingwan didn't take this matter to heart at all, picked up another date, wiped it with a silk handkerchief, and then opened her mouth to bite the next bite, and a fragrance lingered between her mouth and tongue.
"Sister, I think about it, I don't want to be the son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, I want to make contributions, I want to be famous all over the world, and be a person who can't hurt anyone, I can do my best to protect my sister in this life, I don't want my sister to fight alone, I want no one to threaten my sister, no matter who it is, there is only one end for hurting my sister, and that is death." Gu Qingzhao's eyes were clear and resolute, and there was no doubt in his tone.
"Zhao'er ......" Gu Qingwan listened, her heart trembled slightly, she stopped eating dates, and looked at Gu Qingzhao's warm face, her eyes suddenly became a little hot-
She deliberately eased her relationship with Gu Qingzhao and the Liu family before, but she didn't want to fight alone, the Liu family and Gu Qingzhao were not her closest people, but they didn't harm her in their previous lives, so she chose to trust them.
But after getting along for a long time, she could see that the Liu family and Gu Qingzhao were sincere to her. Especially Zhao'er really regarded her as her dearest sister, and unconsciously she gradually accepted Zhao'er and really treated him as her own brother.
"No, Zhao'er, my sister has never fought alone, my sister has you......" Gu Qingwan raised her hand, stroked Gu Qingzhao's face, and said softly.
Gu Qingzhao's lips trembled, raised his hand, covered Gu Qingwan's hand, and said, "Sister, I didn't mean to be fun, you wait, Zhao'er will definitely become a person who makes you proud."
Gu Qingwan nodded, "Of course I believe in Zhao'er." ”
Here, the young man made the most important promise in this life, which has been engraved in his heart for a lifetime!
When he walked out of the academy, Gu Qingzhao suddenly stopped and asked, "Sister, will you come here next year to make dates with me?" ”
Gu Qingwan smiled brightly, "Of course it will, Zhao'er." ”
"That'...... What about the year after tomorrow, are you still here? ”
"Of course it will, I come here every year to beat dates with Zhao'er, even if Zhao'er forgets, I won't forget, okay?"
"No, I won't forget, I'll never forget this date tree." As if making an oath to the mountains and the sea, Gu Qingzhao raised his right hand and said, there was a sense of sacred ritual between the movements.

The Lu family.
Lu Shangshu is also regarded as a veteran of the Three Dynasties and is highly valued by the emperor. He has three sons and one daughter, two sons and one daughter are all born by Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu's two sons are quite capable, the eldest son Lu Shan served as the imperial history of the third product in the court, and the second son Lu Jie joined the army and made a lot of achievements, which can be regarded as a big celebrity around the emperor.
At this time, Lu Shi stood in the middle of the main hall, holding a handkerchief to hide her face and sobbing and crying, she was surrounded by a water of sour pear wood furniture, Lu Shangshu loved to collect, and the many treasures on the pavilion were all valuable antiques that he collected from everywhere, looking at it, the wealth was panicking.
Old Madam Lu sat on the Taishi chair, facing Lu's crying, she never had too much expression, just listened quietly, and couldn't see what she was thinking in her heart.
She has always been like this, cold and arrogant, so that neither the Lu family nor Gu Qingyue likes her very much, but she is the mother of the Lu family and the biological mother of the Lu family, so she has to respectfully surrender to her.
The Lu family was also the eldest lady, and Aunt Zhao, Lu Shangshu's beloved concubine, lost her beloved daughter, and was deeply shocked and collapsed. Lu Shangshu felt sorry for his concubine, so he gave the less than two-year-old Lu family to Aunt Zhao to raise, which became a lifelong thorn in Mrs. Lu's heart.
The aunt style that Lu learned from Aunt Zhao made Mrs. Lu very disgusted, and at first Mrs. Lu would mention her, but after a long time, Lu never made changes, and Mrs. Lu became more and more dislike for this daughter. The already estranged relationship between the mother and daughter is even worse.
Love the house and Wu, it may be because of Aunt Zhao, and because she is the only daughter of the Lu family, she is very favored by Lu Shangshu in the Lu family, and Lu Jie also loves his only sister.
Sitting on either side of her were her second daughter-in-law, Hu Shi, and granddaughter, Lu Rong, and grandson Lu Yuan.
Lu Jie has two sons and a daughter, and the eldest son, Lu Yuan, is planning to take the imperial examination this year, but he is a popular candidate for the champion. The second son, Lu Ze, followed Lu Jie to fight at the border pass, and because he had won several battles with Lu Jie, he stood out among the young generals and had a good reputation in the army.
The Lu family was deeply valued by the emperor, and they were the pawns of the emperor to contain the Gu family and the Li family.
After hearing Lu Rong cry about all kinds of encounters in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion and Gu Qingyue's current difficult exit, she immediately became angry, stood up and scolded:
"Gu Qingwan is really too deceitful, my aunt is so kind to her, she actually drove you and your cousin to such a point! Grandmother, she bullied her aunt and cousin just to not take our Lu family seriously, we should personally come to the door to teach that person who doesn't know the height of the sky and the earth a lesson! ”
The eldest young master Lu Yuan was dressed in a cyan brocade robe, although he was from the text, he also lacked the aura of a military general on Lu Jie's body, his eyes showed a look of doubt, and he asked, "Auntie, I remember that Gu Qingwan's qualifications are stupid and dull, and her attainments are mediocre, she is not the kind of person you say, why has she completely changed now." ”
Lu wiped away his tears and choked up, "Don't you know, eldest nephew, this Gu Qingwan's temperament has changed greatly recently, her six relatives don't recognize her, and she has suppressed me and your cousin a lot, and now I am in power, and I am even pressed on the head by my aunt in the house, and Yue'er was injured and locked up in the ancestral temple, and there is no one to serve, I'm afraid no one will know if she dies......" Saying that, Lu cried a few more times, looking extremely embarrassed and miserable.
When Lu Yuan heard this, he hammered his fist on the chair, his eyes burst with anger, and said, "My aunt is the daughter of my Lu family, but they treat you and my cousin like this, this is not in the slightest regard for grandfather and father, and I will never let them go!" ”
