Chapter 47 Be thick-skinned
Gu Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief, and after feeding him all the rest of the things to eat, she began to pack up her things while tentatively asking him if he wanted to go out for a walk.
Li Yuanzhan looked at her and became resentful, "I'm a waste now, going out will only make people laugh, why should I humiliate myself." In everyone's eyes, I am a waste person who can never stand up, I am no longer the young master of the Li Mansion at the beginning, people like me are not worthy of life, and my life is like this, I no longer have any hope. You are different, you are the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and you are the fiancΓ©e of the prince of Zhao, why should you bother with me, a wasted person, because of your noble status. β
In the end, his expression changed from resentment to despair, he began to laugh self-deprecatingly, the low laughter made Gu Qingwan feel heavy and uncomfortable, and the old scar in his heart that had been difficult to heal was torn open again, and it had become a blur of flesh and blood, and it was full of holes.
"Cousin Yuan Zhan, your leg will definitely be cured, you won't be like this for the rest of your life. Wan'er will definitely find the best doctor, you wait for Wan'er for a while. She turned her face away and wiped away her tears.
"I'll come back tomorrow to see my cousin." After saying that, she packed up her things and left silently.
Looking at her back farther and farther away, he opened his mouth, but he didn't speak after all.
In the next few days, Gu Qingwan often ran to Dafang and Li Yuanzhan, and she felt that her skin had reached a certain extent. From being sad and sad at the beginning, to being indifferent now, no matter how poisonous Cousin Bing Butterfly is, how cold her uncle and aunt are, she treats them all warmly, which makes everyone in the Li Mansion helpless against her.
Thanks to Mrs. Li's help, Gu Qingwan now knows how to use to achieve the best results. In fact, up and down the Li Mansion, the only one who is really estranged from her may be the big house, and the other rooms are all hindered by the big house, maintaining a wait-and-see attitude. After all, it is a relative, and it is not good to favor anyone, not to mention that Gu Qingwan is just a foreigner.
In the main room of the Li Mansion, Gu Qingwan smiled, looked at her ice butterfly cousin with a look of disgust, and didn't care at all.
"Why are you here again? The skin is really thick, don't you know what shame is? Li Bingdie gave her a cold look, she really couldn't understand this girl, she couldn't scold her no matter how she scolded.
"Cousin, is my aunt there? I'm here to visit her today. β
"My mother manages such a big family, where do you have time to come to see you, if there is no big matter, let's leave quickly, you are not welcome here!"
Li Bingdie glared at her and spoke angrily. At this moment, a somewhat serious voice rang out.
"Die'er, how do you talk to your cousin?"
At the gate, Fang Shi made a face and looked at his daughter with some reproach. For a long time, the Fang family had indeed been angry with this niece because of the matter of their eldest son, and they had almost never had a good face. However, after all, they are blood relatives, and they will not show their resentment and dissatisfaction so obviously. The most important thing is that Die'er is a dignified young lady, and her behavior cannot be so rude.
"It's okay aunt, cousin, this is playing around with me! Auntie, I'm just about to look for you! I didn't expect you to come back by such a coincidence. β
Gu Qingwan hurriedly spoke, got up and greeted her, although her attitude was eager, Fang didn't react much. She nodded faintly and said lukewarmly, "Do you have anything to do with me?" β
"That's right, I heard that you have been a little tired lately, and you always have insomnia at night, so I specially sewed a fragrant wood pillow for you. I put fragrant wood and lemon verbena in it according to the recipe of Chinese medicine, which can soothe the mood, reduce stress and help sleep. I heard that the effect is very good, aunt, please try it! β
Not minding Fang's cold face at all, Gu Qingwan handed over the fragrant wood pillow that she had worked so hard to make. Li Bingdie's whisper came from his ears: "Hmph, I will do these gadgets to please people, who is rare!" β
Fang Shi glared at her fiercely, stretched out his hand to take Gu Qingwan's pillow, and nodded: "If you bother, I'll take it." Anything else? If it's okay, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave. β
"Auntie, if you have something to do, go and get busy first, I'll just talk to my cousin." Gu Qingwan smiled indifferently and spoke, as if she hadn't heard the eviction order from Fang's mouth. Fang Shi glanced at her a little helplessly, "Okay then, you sisters let's talk first!" β
As he spoke, he instructed the maid to take the fragrant wood pillow sent by Gu Qingwan and leave the main room.
"Who wants to talk to you, self-inflicted!" Li Bingdie's unwilling voice came from her ears, Gu Qingwan smiled faintly, no matter what, this can be regarded as progress, isn't it?
Li Bingdie didn't want to talk to Gu Qingwan, Gu Qingwan naturally wouldn't stay to be bored, she planned to go to see her cousin Li Yuanzhan, and then go back to Zhenyuanhou Mansion. Although Li Yuanzhan's attitude towards her is lukewarm and ignorant, he has not been angry with her like the first time.
"Miss Cousin, you're here!" When the little guy Chu Jiu saw Gu Qingwan, the look on his face suddenly became happy, but he quickly restrained his excitement, pretended not to care much and said with a sad face: "Miss Cousin, you came just in time, the eldest young master doesn't drink medicine, and the slave is worried!" β
"It's okay, I'll go and persuade my cousin." Gu Qingwan smiled and spoke, opened the door and walked in. I saw Li Yuanzhan lying on the bed, with a medicine bowl on the table next to him, and there was a faint steam. Hearing Gu Qingwan's footsteps, Li Yuanzhan also seemed to be noticing anything, looking at the roof with a straight face, looking sad.
Walking to the side of the bed, Gu Qingwan picked up the medicine bowl and approached Li Yuanzhan, and said softly: "Cousin, come and drink the medicine." If you run out of medicine, I'll tell you a story. β
When Chu Jiu outside the door heard this, his expression suddenly became a little strange. Does Miss Cousin treat the eldest young master as a child? I even said such a thing as storytelling. However, the eldest young master must also be willing, otherwise, he would not be so obedient, got up and turned his head.
Gu Qingwan automatically and consciously handed the spoon to Li Yuanzhan's mouth, and Li Yuanzhan opened his mouth to drink, spoonful after spoonful. Then I began to talk about the story of my early draft, which was nothing more than some inspirational stories, hoping to encourage my cousin. I don't know when she got used to such actions. Obviously, if you drink it in one gulp, it won't have such a serious bitter taste, but my cousin is only willing to feed her spoonful by spoonful. However, as long as her cousin can drink the medicine, she is willing to do anything.
That's it, Wang Bai just relied on his feet, but he became a famous calligrapher. A person's true wealth lies not in his body, but in his heart. Only if the heart is strong enough can you make a difference. β
She lowered her head and described the story in a soft voice, immersed in the perseverance of those great men. The whole body reveals a tenacious and energetic brilliance, and the delicate and delicate face is even more indescribably beautiful and moving at this moment. Li Yuanzhan looked at her quietly like this, and a little blush appeared on her delicate and pale face. There is an indescribable complexity in the eyes, mixed with admiration, happiness and sadness.
Wan'er, if this moment can continue like this forever, how good would it be? But now I can't do it like I used to, even if it's just to protect you. Even if I can only do this for the rest of my life, I never regret my decision. As long as you look good and lose these legs, then what's it?
Li Yuanzhan thought silently, but his eyes lingered greedily on her body, as if he wanted to engrave her face in his heart. The girl he decided to protect from the first sight has grown into a young girl, and even in a few years, she will become someone else's wife. He grew up with her since childhood, I don't know when his feelings for her are no longer simple brother and sister love, knowing that she has been engaged to other men since she was a child, but he still can't control his feelings for her. The most devastating thing about his crippled legs was not that he had become a wasted man from a promising genius boy, but that he and her were completely impossible.
Just treat her like a sister! Li Yuanzhan, in fact, you should have been sober a long time ago. Some people, even if they stand in front of you, can only be close to the end of the world, a glance for ten thousand years.
Leaving the Ming Garden, Gu Qingwan looked at the late sky, and planned to say goodbye to her grandmother and go back. Walking to the top of the corridor, I was greeted by a middle-aged man with a tall figure and a gentle and heroic face. Because Gu Qingwan was lowering her head and thinking about her thoughts, she didn't notice it, but the man opposite saw her and stopped her in a deep voice.
"Isn't this Wan'er?"
Gu Qingwan raised her head and saw the man in front of her, the look on her face suddenly changed slightly, she quickly saluted the man, and said crisply: "It turned out to be the second uncle!" Wan'er greets her second uncle! β
"Where can a family need such politeness! Our little Wan'er has grown up, and she is really getting more and more beautiful! Why didn't you come to your second uncle and aunt when you got to the house? Your cousin Bingxin misses you, how about it, how about going to your second uncle for a day? β
The man spoke, his tone was a little reproachful, but his eyes contained doting. Being watched by the pampered eyes of the elders, Gu Qingwan did not feel happy or fluttering. An apologetic smile appeared on her delicate little face, and she spoke softly.
"I'm sorry, second uncle, it's getting late, I have to go home. My dad curfew me, and I didn't dare to make him angry. When I come back next time I have time, how about Wan'er go to the second uncle's place? β
"Well, Wan'er, you have to remember! The second uncle also had some things, so he left first. The man smiled kindly, touched Gu Qingwan's head, and then got up to leave. And Gu Qingwan watched his figure slowly disappear, and the look on his face became stiff.
