"Husband, in fact, in your heart, you are not as gentle and elegant as you seem." Jiang's words carried a bit of speculation, but he seemed to have made up his mind, and he didn't dare to look at Gu Xuesong with his head down, but just tried his best to say what was in his heart.

Gu Xuesong, who was punctured, remained motionless, thought for a while, and said in a still calm and calm tone: "Everyone has an unknown side." ”

"However, husband, your unknown side will never be shown in front of me." Jiang's tone was already a little aggrieved.

Gu Xuesong frowned softly and said, "You are the lady I am marrying, so I naturally respect you." ”

Jiang turned her head slightly, a strand of broken hair on her sideburns accidentally hung down, covering half of her side face, looking gentle and aggrieved under the candlelight, Jiang said slightly sadly: "Since I was assigned to marry my husband, I have heard a lot of things about my husband, so I guess there must be a lot of grievances in my husband's heart." ”

Jiang's eyes suddenly flashed, and he realized something, so he hurriedly explained: "I have no intention of exploring my husband's heart, I just hope that my husband will not suppress all the suffering in his heart, if he can, my husband can talk to me, and it can also make my husband feel less wronged." ”

Gu Xuesong was stunned for a while, and said kindly: "You are a very good woman, gentle and intelligent, kind and not extreme. ”

Jiang suddenly frowned, and said, "Is my husband so unwilling to open his heart in front of me?" I've said all these things, do you still have to pretend to be calm in front of that person? ”

The movements on Gu Xuesong's hands had already recovered, his slender fingers twisted the chopsticks, eating the supper that the Jiang family made for him, and when he was in the Jiang family, Gu Xuesong had even finished eating two steamed dumplings with jade shoots without changing his face.

Gu Xuesong put down his chopsticks and said gently: "I have to go to the study to deal with some things again, it may be late, you don't have to wait for me, go to bed early, and remember to drink the fetal ...... prescribed by the doctor for you before going to bed" At the moment when Gu Xuesong raised his head and looked at Jiang, Gu Xuesong was suddenly stunned.

Jiang's eyes were slowly resentful and sour. That kind of resentment is not only the wife's resentment towards her husband, but the woman's resentment when she does not receive a response from her beloved husband.

Jiang's square eyes slowly climbed into tears in the dim candle flame, shining as bright as two stars in the sky.

Gu Xuesong was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, seemed to have a little lack of confidence, and said calmly: "Rest early." Then he got up and left the house where Jiang was.

Gu Xuesong left, and the supper that the Jiang clan had prepared for Gu Xuesong before was also cold. Jiang's bridal maid walked in and asked in a low voice, "Madam, do you want to take it to the ......kitchen again for supper?" The maid was stunned, eagerly walked to Jiang's side, and asked uneasily: "Madam, why are you crying?" Isn't your body feeling well? Do you want to get a doctor? ”

Jiang shook his head weakly, looking at the direction in which Gu Xuesong had left, tears welling up in his eyes.

The bridal maid saw Jiang looking in the direction of the study, and said puzzledly: "Could it be that the adult said something that made the lady unhappy?" How so? Adults are the most polite......"

The unknown dowry maid hurriedly squeezed out a smile and whispered to persuade him: "Didn't Mrs. also say that since it is the words of the matchmaker of the parents, then marry the chicken and follow the chicken, but I didn't expect the adult to be such a character, it is just like coming out of the book and painting, the jade tree is in the wind and calm and polite, Mrs. still feels lucky, and wants to grow old with the adult......"

Jiang couldn't help but close his eyes in despair.

The bridal maid realized that she had said the wrong thing, and her face turned pale and frightened. Jiang has been a little unwell since she was pregnant, and the maid was afraid that Jiang's worries would damage her body too much, so she hurriedly persuaded her in a good voice: "Madam, don't be sad, your body is important......"

Ningxia Qing took the jade straight to Nanmu Temple, and when he arrived at Nanmu Mountain, the sky was dark.

Unfortunately, the abbot of Nanmu Temple left this morning to go on a cloud tour!

The abbot of Nanmu Temple has always loved to travel, and never bring an entourage when traveling, nor will he explain his whereabouts and time to come back, he will leave without saying a word, and there will be no news for a long time when he goes out, and sometimes he will even come back for two or three years.

The little monk who was guarding the gate of the temple saw that Ning Ningqing's face was really pitiful, so he said kindly: "The epiphany in the back mountain is about to bloom, and this year's epiphany is growing better than in previous years, and the abbot may come back to see those few epiphany." If the female benefactor does not mind, she can stay here for a few days, etc., and there are nunnery rooms for the female benefactor around the temple. ”

Ningxia Qing was anxious, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only live on Nanmu Mountain for the time being. She didn't know if those few epiphanys could lead the abbot back to Nanmu Mountain, but this was her only hope, and she only hoped that the abbot would remember those epiphany.

A few days passed, and the abbot was still nowhere to be seen. Ningxia Qing could barely sleep, and when the moon was on the willows one night, she couldn't stay any longer, walked out of the nunnery, and walked towards the back mountain.

Those few epiphanyes were her only hope, and she suddenly wanted to see them.

When she walked to the back mountain, bursts of fragrance rushed towards her, and it turned out that those epiphanyes were just blooming!

In the mountains behind the desolate Nanmu Temple, the flower tube of the epiphany slowly lifts, the purple coat slowly opens, and the white petals unfold layer by layer, bright and clean like water lotus. Sprinkled with intoxicating incense powder. The layers and pieces of petals are like heavy snow, and they are moving.

Ning Xia Qing stood in place, not knowing what to say, as if she had also turned into a silent epiphany, standing there stunned. Suddenly, the white mille-feuille petals trembled, and then slowly closed in Ning Ningqing's dizzy gaze. In front of such a beautiful scenery, Ningxia Qing suddenly cried.

The epiphany has bloomed, but the abbot has not returned, isn't it...... She can't wait for the abbot?

On this night, Nanmu Temple ushered in an old man.

This man was not dressed in official clothes, only dressed in white, and climbed the high stairs in front of Nanmu Mountain at night, and the moonlight lengthened his shadow, which was divided into a section by the stairs, and he was like a thousand petals of a white epiphany, climbing hard in the dark night alone and silently.

Guanqi followed behind, carefully holding on, but did not dare to say anything.

After Ning Ningqing left his house that day, Gu Xuesong sent his men to Nanmu Temple to ask, and learned that the abbot had just left Nanmu Temple, so he sent people to the nearby counties to find it, and finally invited the abbot back.

Gu Xuesong told the abbot that there was a woman waiting for him in Nanmu Temple, so he hoped that the abbot would not be publicistic when he came back, and wait until Gu Xuesong also arrived.

The stairs of Nanmu Temple appear spacious and magnificent during the day, but at night, when there is no one else, it seems to be particularly empty and pious, the high stairs seem to lead to the misty sky, Gu Xuesong stepped on the stairs step by step with difficulty, like a sincere believer.

"Girl...... Girl...... Are you there? Cuiyu's uneasy voice sounded in the night, getting closer and closer from behind Ning Ningqing.

"Girl! So you're here! Why did you run out without saying a word? I woke up and found you were gone, I ...... I'm scared to death......" Cuiyu, who was almost crying, ran up from behind and pulled Ningxia Qing to let go, suddenly stunned for a moment, and asked, "Girl, are you crying?" ”

Before Ningxia Qing could speak, suddenly a little monk also ran to them, the little monk obviously looked for Ningxia Qing for a while to find this side, as soon as he came over, he said: "It turns out that the female donor is here, the abbot is back, is the female donor going to visit her?" ”

"The abbot is back?" Ning Xia Qing couldn't believe it, so he immediately raised his hand to wipe the tears on his face, and hurriedly followed the little monk who led the way to the abbot's meditation room, but he was even more surprised to see Gu Xuesong at the door of the meditation room.

Gu Xuesong did not wear an official uniform, but as he did when he first met Ningxia Qing in Gu Mansion, he was wearing a simple plain robe and stood in the courtyard of Nanmu Temple, but his face was no longer as gentle and calm as it was then, his expression was serious and unattainable, and the moonlight reflected his pale complexion compared to others, as in the past but not as before.

"Lord Gu......" Ning Xia Qing didn't know why Gu Xuesong appeared here, she seemed to be unable to think about the problem, she could only look at Gu Xuesong, helplessly in a daze, helplessly calling him "Lord Gu".

Gu Xuesong said in a cruel tone: "Ning Dangjia, I have already told the abbot about it, but the abbot has already been born, and I don't want to be contaminated with the world anymore, I'm afraid I can't help it." ”

Ningxia Qingdeng was about to cry, but she didn't expect that she had waited for a few days to come to such a result, she said sadly: "That...... Can I ask the abbot in person? ”

Gu Xuesong shook his head: "The abbot doesn't want to see you." ”

Ning Xia Qing didn't know what to say, she was standing there, and the abbot didn't want to see her...... I don't want to see her...... She suddenly fell to her knees!

Gu Xuesong looked at her, as if she was not surprised by her actions, but her eyes were very sad, and she walked into the abbot's meditation room without saying a word, and closed the door.

Ningxia Qing really had no choice but to kneel here and beg the abbot with a dead face. Just now Gu Xuesong said that the abbot didn't want to see her, but he didn't invite her back, she couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope, maybe the abbot was not so resolute...... Perhaps seeing her so pitiful and helpless, the abbot would change his mind......

Gu Xuesong walked into the meditation room and walked behind the abbot master.

The abbot meditates with his back to the door and the statue of the Bodhisattva in the house.

The abbot's voice sounded extremely old, but it was very imposing: "Gu Gongzi, do you know why I have my back to you?" ”

Gu Xuesong thought for a moment and replied sadly: "Because mortals always refuse to turn back." ”

The abbot sighed: "Gu Gongzi is the same, he always refuses to look back. Lao Wei has already said that he has long stopped asking about the world, and it is useless for Gu Gongzi to ask for it. ”

Gu Xuesong suddenly knelt down, knelt behind the abbot, and begged: "As long as the master doesn't drive me away, I will continue to beg here, begging the abbot master to come out of the mountain." ”

The meditation room fell silent, and no one spoke.

Ning Ningqing knelt outside the meditation room, the moonlight shone on her increasingly pale face, her body gradually began to tremble, and she felt more and more physically exhausted.

She didn't know if the abbot would be soft-hearted if she knelt down like this, and whether he would agree to go out of the mountain for her.

She didn't know if Gu Xuesong would say good things to the abbot for her, she suddenly began to regret it at this moment, she felt that it was really a wrong and extreme decision for her to anger Gu Xuesong so much before, maybe she should use a more gentle way to solve this matter, but she was too anxious at the time.

She even felt the moonlight gradually slanting westward, and through the branches of the magnolia tree, the moon gradually moved westward, moving from the east branch of the tree to the top of the west branch, the moon was moving, and the trembling of her body became more and more violent......

"Girl, girl......" Cuiyu hugged Ningxia Qing from behind distressedly, resisted the mountain night wind blowing from behind Ningxia Qing, and helped Ningxia Qing's gradually exhausted body and soul......

Suddenly, there was a "squeak" and the door of the meditation room opened from the inside.

Gu Xuesong stood by the door and looked at him, under the illumination of the moonlight, his face looked extremely pale, pale like a piece of paper, and his bloodless face was even more bloodless than ordinary people's bloodless face on weekdays.

Gu Xuesong stood at the door of the meditation room, looking at her from above, his eyes were indifferent, his expression was detached, and he looked down at Ning Ningqing from above.

Ning Xia Qing raised her head with difficulty and looked back at Gu Xuesong, she once again saw from Gu Xuesong's eyes that Gu Xuesong's recklessness, as well as the extremism in his bones, and the pleasure after his revenge in his bones.

"Ning Dangjia has always been at ease, and there are times like this." Gu Xuesong's tone was calm, even with a sad sigh, but it seemed to be just a ruthless judgment that had nothing to do with himself.

"No one can always be at ease, no one can always win, everyone has an unknown, helpless side, doesn't it?" Ningxia Qing said sadly.

Gu Xuesong looked at her pale face from kneeling for a long time, and didn't say anything more, just softly instructed Guanqi: "Funing is in charge, and the abbot wants to invite Ning in to speak." ”

Ning Xia Qing's eyes and mouth opened wide at the same time in surprise, at that moment she was simply unbelievable, Cuiyu was also stunned for a moment, and then immediately wanted to help Ning Xia Qing in surprise, and Guanqi also walked out from behind Gu Xuesong to help Ning Xia Qing.

Gu Xuesong had been standing indifferently at the door of the meditation room, watching Ning Ningqing stand up with trembling legs.
