Chapter 170: Who does Gu Ji like?
Chu Huai'an flipped his wrist, and the dagger swept in front of Chu Gua's eyes, and was immediately blocked by Su Li with his hand raised.
"Chu Huai'an, what are you doing?"
Su Li asked very urgently, her breathing was unsteady, and a cold sweat broke out on her back, her wrist strength was not as good as before, Chu Huai'an had a bad idea about Chu Gua just now, and Su Li almost didn't stop it.
If this knife goes down, Chu Gua's eyes will definitely be ruined, so what is left of his life except darkness?
Thinking like this, Su Li's expression also became cold, and she glared at Chu Huai'an viciously, Chu Huai'an was just an impulse for a moment, Yue Yan watched from the side, and took the opportunity to step forward and hug Chu Gua aside, I don't know if it touched the wound, Chu Gua started crying again, and Chu Liu was still talking outside the door, asking them not to hurt Chu Gua's life.
All the chaotic sounds poured into his ears, making people upset, Chu Huai'an retracted his strength, flipped his wrist, closed the dagger, and grabbed Su Li's hand to see if she was injured.
"What do you see in his eyes?"
Chu Huai'an asked, seeing that Su Li's wrist was a little red, he rubbed it gently.
Su Li still had palpitations, and her tone couldn't help but be tough: "No matter what I see, you shouldn't hurt him in this way, he's just a child!" ”
“…… Well. ”
Chu Huai'an deserved to be a little perfunctory, and clearly didn't listen to Su Li's words, no matter if it was a child or someone else, as long as someone hurt her, in his eyes, she was someone who shouldn't live.
He didn't know when he became so brutal, but as long as she wasn't good, he couldn't control the impulse.
"You ......"
Su Li wanted to say something, but Chu Huai'an changed the topic: "You draw the person you saw, and I'll let people check it, since he has a long face, he won't have a name." ”
This matter is very mysterious, but whether it is the change in Su Li's eyebrows or the ethereal legend of the afterlife, as long as Su Li said it, he chose to believe it without hesitation.
He didn't think she was becoming more and more like a normal person, and he just wanted to do his best to protect her by his side until he was old and until he died.
When it came to business, Su Li was distracted, she saw that Chu Gua was a little frightened, so she asked Yue Yan to go out with Chu Gua first, explain to Chu Liu the reason for taking off the rope on her fingers, and when Qibao sent a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, she began to ink.
The strange thing is that whether it was in a dream or just now, Su Li remembered that she could see the person's face very clearly, and even remembered the lines of his clothes, but when she picked up the pen, her brain was empty, and she didn't know how to ink.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Huai'an asked, Su Li closed her eyes and tried to remember, her eyebrows gradually became hot, and her brain became dizzy and unable to think.
Her body shook for a while, and Chu Huai'an immediately took her into his arms, and through the thin autumn clothes, she felt that her body was also hot, and the flowers in her eyebrows seemed to be glowing.
Chu Huai'an's expression froze, and he picked up Su Li horizontally and put him on the bed: "Ah Li, tell me where you are uncomfortable!" ”
He said that he saw that the flower in the center of Su Li's eyebrows was stretched out little by little, and a faint golden light was faintly leaked, which was the color of the stamen that Su Li had mentioned.
This flower is blooming even more!
Chu Huai'an was shocked by this perception, and heard Su Li's uncomfortable whisper: "It's so hot." ”
Chu Huai'an immediately let people carry cold water in, Su Li's mind was not clear, Chu Huai'an helped her take off her clothes, and found that her skin was so hot that it seemed to be burning, and put her in the bathtub.
Soon it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky is already very cold, Su Li is a woman, it is very uncomfortable to take a cold shower in this weather, but as soon as she touches the cold water, she sighs comfortably, humming and wanting to stuff her head into the water, but Chu Huai'an holds her chin to stop her.
"Hot!"
Su Li muttered dissatisfiedly, her whole body burned red, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and although most of her body sank underwater, the water was very clear, and she couldn't cover anything, but there was a feeling of half-covering and half-covering.
Since she had a fever, Chu Huai'an had never had sex with her, and she was uncomfortable at this time, but she didn't know that he was tortured more.
His throat rolled up and down, Chu Huai'an held Su Li's chin and covered it, and coaxed him in a warm voice: "Ah Li, bear with it for me, okay?" ”
Where could Su Li hear his words at this time, he was very hot, and his breath was even hotter, so he instinctively refused to escape, Chu Huai'an could only hold her, lest she choke on water.
Unable to break free, Su Li snorted, helpless and aggrieved, sounding like he had been bullied by him a few days ago.
Chu Huai'an was tense, and a fire appeared in his heart, but there was no way to vent.
He couldn't help but bite Su Li: "Don't cry." ”
"Woooooooooo
“……”
Su Li is now completely childlike, and Chu Huai'an's eyes flashed darkly.
Although Chu Huai'an only played with those women before he got married, and didn't really do anything, he read a lot of books on this subject, and he was a talented person, and he was self-taught.
The cold water was still effective, and Su Li gradually felt better.
Chu Huai'an has been paying attention to her expression, she is very well-behaved, she doesn't cry or make trouble, she hums twice from time to time, like a deer, hitting his heart seven times and eight times.
"Ah Li, are you still uncomfortable?"
Chu Huai'an asked, Su Li's face was even redder than before, her forehead was sweaty, she didn't speak, she only rubbed against his arm, and her body instinctively flattered.
Chu Huai'an fell in love with her like this, leaned over and kissed her eyebrows: "I love you." ”
When the words fell, a faint color of blood floated in the water, and the crimson on Su Li's face gradually dissipated, and then turned into a muffled snort: "It hurts!" ”
“……”
Su Li came to the small day, Chu Huai'an fished the person out of the water and wrapped it in the quilt, and immediately asked Qibao to send the stove and the menstrual affair.
When Qibao beckoned someone to carry the water out of the ear room, he saw that there was blood in the water, and his heart was horrified: The young lady has come to Xiaotian, but the Hou Ye gave her a cold bath, what is this for? Doesn't Hou Ye actually love the young lady?
After Su Li came to Xiaotian, the burn on her body subsided that night, but because she took a cold shower, she suffered a lot of sins the night before, Chu Huai'an guarded her all night, and her face turned green.
He wanted to protect Su Li, but he didn't expect it to be like this, she shrank into a ball and shouted in pain, which hurt more than letting him be slashed.
After a night, the flower in the center of Su Li's eyebrows was completely opened, and the slender blue petals stretched out layer by layer, and in the middle of the petals was a golden stamen, with a bright light, but it was not very obvious in the daylight, and it could barely cover the past, but if it was night, it would not be able to hide it at all.
The abnormality of Su Li's eyebrows should be discovered soon.
Chu Huai'an hadn't thought about how to deal with it yet, he didn't want to restrict Su Li's freedom in order to hide this flower, so that she could only be outdoors every day before sunrise and evening.
The rivers and mountains of Yuanzhao are beautiful, and he still has a lot of scenery that he hasn't taken her to see, and he doesn't want to see her trapped in this small world.
When Su Li fell asleep in a cold sweat, Chu Huaian hugged her all night.
On the second day, Su Li was much better, Qibao changed the stove for her, and fed her the medicine to warm the palace, and after breakfast, her improvement improved, and she was in good spirits.
Su Li's memory of yesterday's painting is very vague, but she still remembers that she couldn't pick up the painting yesterday, and after sleeping all night, some impressions in her mind became clearer.
Su Li drew a small mountain village, and then drew the bamboo house in her memory, but the figure of the man in the house was very blurry.
His face was clearly in Su Li's mind, but he couldn't describe it.
When Su Li bit the tip of the pen and twisted her eyebrows to think, Qibao said that the guests were coming and they were going to the side hall to receive them.
Su Li was a little strange who came to visit her, so she simply cleaned up and walked over, and before she entered the house, she heard the giggling of children.
Where did the children come from?
Su Li walked in suspiciously, and at a glance saw Wen Ling sitting in the room with a bright child in his arms, and a modest man sitting next to him.
Wen Ling's attention was on the child, but the man found Su Li first and immediately stood up excitedly.
Su Li felt that the man's face was a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, she remembered that he was Su Heng, the eldest young master of the Su family in Lizhou before.
After remembering his life experience, he didn't even return to Lizhou? Su Li was surprised, and after thinking about it, she felt that it was very reasonable, there was no one in the Su family in Lizhou, and it was actually not interesting for him to go back.
"Young lady!"
The man greeted Wen Ling together, and Su Li greeted him with a smile: "No need to be like this, I just returned to Beijing, and I accidentally contracted a cold in the past two days, and I haven't taken time out, and I want to go see my sister in a few days." ”
The child in Wen Ling's hand didn't recognize his life, and when he saw Su Li, he smiled with crooked eyebrows, and opened his hand to Su Li to ask for a hug.
The child was much smaller than Chu Gua, she was a girl, her eyes were round, her whole person was pink and tender, and she was very cute, Su Li immediately took her into her arms.
"It's beautiful."
Su Li praised it, Wen Ling was also very relieved to see that the child liked her, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh: "When Ah Li left Beijing, I was still in confinement, and I didn't help much, but later I heard that you left the fields, shops and 100,000 taels of silver under your name for me to dispose of, which scared me even more." ”
Speaking of this, Su Li remembered that she was not doing very authentically, and hung her head unnaturally.
"Madame, don't blame me, I have limited contacts in Beijing, and people who can be trusted can be counted on both hands, Madame has the talent to do business, and the character of benevolence and strength, only by entrusting these things to Madame, can I feel at ease."
As it turned out, Su Li's decision was right.
She is not in this year for more than a year, Wenling will open the shop very well, the widows and families of the Zhenbei Army have almost been recruited to the embroidery village, the cloth made in the embroidery village is of high quality, the price is relatively affordable, the ready-to-wear is more novel and beautiful than other styles, and it has been sold very well in the surrounding neighboring countries since the beginning of this year.
In all fairness, Su Li wasn't sure if she would be able to get her business up and running in such a short period of time.
"Ah Li, why should you be so polite, you are the child's godmother, I am a few months younger than you, if you don't mind, call me a sister." After a year of polishing as a businessman, Wen Ling's temperament has become much neater, and she can speak simply, she can do this, Su Lizi will not say those unnecessary polite words.
"It's good that my sister doesn't blame me."
After talking for a while, Su Li's hands were tired, Wen Ling's eyesight was excellent, he took the child and let the accompanying maid take him out, seeing that the posture had something to say to Su Li.
"It's not a secret, today is the Hou Ye sent someone to the house to send a message, let me come to see Ah Li."
As soon as the child was taken away, Wen Ling went straight to the point, Su Li was a little strange, Su Heng, who had not spoken, stood up and walked in front of Su Li, and bowed: "Young lady, can you let me see the flowers on your eyebrows?" ”
"Huh?"
Su Li was very confused, Wen Ling explained beside him: "Hou Ye said that Ah Li's eyebrows gave birth to a flower that will shine, and I am afraid that walking on the street will be regarded as a strange thing by onlookers, let us find a way to develop some pigments to promote in Beijing, if everyone has painted Huadian, the flower in the heart of Ah Li's eyebrows will not look abrupt." ”
“……”
Su Li didn't expect Chu Huai'an's thoughts to be so thoughtful, she was moved for a moment, and then her attention deviated, and she looked at Su Heng curiously: "You are a painter now?" I remember that the Su family in Lizhou opened a medical center. ”
She mentioned the Su family in Lizhou, indicating that she still remembered who Su Heng was, Su Li's eyes lit up, and her expression also soared: "The Su family does open a medical center, but all aspects of life are actually closely related to medical skills, and a large part of the ancestral medical books of the Su family are dedicated to the production of spices." ”
Su Li didn't know that the eldest young master of the Su family in Lizhou was extremely talented, not only good at cleverness, but also good at making good fragrance.
It was precisely because of this that Old Man Su sent Su Heng to Xunzhou to develop other trade routes.
"Brother Su is very powerful, the rouge gouache and various spices we sell now are all made according to the recipe he gave."
Yue Yan helped and said that he trusted Su Heng very much, and Su Heng touched the tip of his nose uncomfortably, after all, men making incense always made people feel a little disobedient.
Su Li looked at him with wide eyes slightly, and praised him for a while: "It's really amazing." "Let her be ashamed of herself as a woman.
The tips of Su Heng's ears were a little red, although he heard that the scar on Su Li's face had been healed a few days ago, he was still amazed when he saw Su Li's intact face for the first time.
She was beautiful, much more beautiful than he had imagined.
However, Su Heng didn't dare to cross the rules, and quickly focused his attention on the flower in the center of Su Li's eyebrows, the style of the flower was very peculiar and very rare.
Su Heng was tall, and after standing in front of Su Li and blocking the light, he could faintly see the faint light of the flower.
"Young lady, I am offended."
Su Heng said, Xiu Run's fingertips gently pressed against Su Li's eyebrows.
The tentacles are soft and smooth, and the flowers are under the flesh and skin, and although the shape can be seen, it is one with the flesh and skin, and it cannot be perceived.
Su Heng's hand left as soon as he touched it, and he took two steps back politely and said softly: "This light is very faint, not strong, if you crush the night pearl into powder and mix it with paint to paint Huadian, it should have the same effect." ”
The night pearl is a rare thing, who will grind it into a whitewashed flower, is there so much money that there is nowhere to spend it?
Su Li wanted to complain, but Wen Ling clapped his hands: "It's just right, the night pearl is rare, ordinary people can't learn the essence even if they follow the trend, if someone sees the flowers in Ah Li's eyebrows will shine, they must think that Hou Ye has spent a lot of money, hurting Ah Li to the bone, and invisibly showing a wave of affection, excellent!" ”
Wen Ling's words and demeanor were very similar to Zhang Zhizhi, Su Li couldn't help laughing, sure enough, it was a family, and after living for a long time, even the temperament was the same.
The atmosphere between Su Li and Wen Ling was relaxed and harmonious, but Su Heng was thinking about the hem of his clothes.
"The pattern of the young lady's eyebrows...... I seem to have seen it somewhere. ”
"Huh? Have you seen it? ”
Su Li was attracted to attention, this afterlife flower is very rare, how could Su Heng have seen it?
Su Heng thought hard for a long time, and said in a low voice: "There was an elder in Lizhou before, and the mask he wore seemed to be painted with this pattern. ”
Su Heng said hesitantly, and there was a voice in the deepest part of his heart saying: No, it's not just that mask, he has also seen it in other places.
The elder Su Li that Su Heng said knew it, but at that time, Su Li didn't pay much attention to what kind of mask the elder was wearing, and the elder died after assassinating the Queen Mother.
Thinking of this, Su Li's thoughts paused, a little unsure.
The old man at the beginning...... Is it really dead?
Su Li pondered, Su Heng really couldn't remember where he had seen the flower, so he didn't waste time here: "It's not too early, I'll go back to develop the pigment first, and strive to produce the finished product as soon as possible." ”
Su Li's eyebrows didn't know what else would change, and the sooner she came up with countermeasures, the better it would be.
Wen Ling still wanted to talk to Su Li for a while, so he asked Su Heng to go first.
After Su Heng left, Wen Ling sighed and talked about Zhang Zhizhi's marriage.
Zhang Zhizhi's age is not young, when Su Li returned to Beijing, Chu Liu's family included her in Chu Huai'an's ranks, and after all these years, she has not yet married, and she is considered an older leftover woman in Beijing.
"Zhizhi's appearance is also outstanding, although the skeleton is a bit big, and some fists and feet may scare off some men, but it won't be impossible to find a suitable family, right?"
Su Li was puzzled, in her opinion, Zhang Zhizhi has a hearty and straightforward personality, she is a very good girl, and she has never said that she can't get married.
Wen Ling shook his head with a wry smile after listening to Su Li's words: "She has a straight temperament, but she is a good person, a few days ago, His Majesty lifted the marriage ban in advance, and several matchmakers came to the door to probe the news, but she refused." ”
"Refused? Does she already have someone she likes? ”
“…… Yes. ”
Wen Ling replied hesitantly, looking at Su Li expectantly, Su Li suddenly felt that it was not very good, and the next moment, sure enough, she heard Wen Ling's soft voice: "Zhizhi she, like to make Gu Ji Gu." ”
“……”
My good girl, you're a strange taste!
The corners of Su Li's eyes twitched, she didn't expect Gu Jiong's cold-faced and ruthless appearance, in addition to Yue Yan, there were still women who could fall in love with him.
"Zhizhi was deceived by Gu Zhi's rumors, and the ghost was confused? Gu Jiong's temperament is very fierce. ”
Su Li tried her best to say euphemistically, Gu Zhi is not only a murderer, but also a big devil who kills people without blinking! And the big devil and the lord of Renxian still have a past that can't be told by outsiders, how can this matter be mixed together?
After Gu Zhi became a wronged envoy, he had long been famous in Beijing for his bloody and brutal case-handling methods, Wen Ling knew what he was like, and nodded in agreement: "Everyone in Beijing knows that Gu Zhi's methods are ruthless, my in-laws and father-in-law have persuaded her, but she seems to have fallen into an evil spirit, if Gu Zhi does not marry, I really can't do anything about her, so I want to ask Ah Li to help persuade her." ”
The affairs of men and women are all your and my wishes, how to persuade this?
Su Li was a little big, Wen Ling saw that she seemed a little embarrassed and said: "I heard Zhizhi say, it seems that Gu Zhi already has a favorite woman in his heart, Ah Li knows who that woman is?" Zhizhi has always felt that the woman is dead, she still has a chance, if the woman can appear, maybe she can completely break Zhizhi's thoughts! ”
"Gu Zhi told Zhizhi that he had someone in his heart?"
Su Li raised her voice, as if she had heard something strange, Wen Ling was worried about Zhang Zhizhi's marriage, and did not notice Su Li's tone: "It's not that Gu Zhi said it himself, it's just that Zhizhi accidentally found that Gu Zhi was carrying a hairpin with him, which was a woman's thing, and Gu Zhi carried it on his body, there was always something different." ”
Maybe it's Gu Li's old thing.
Su Li thought in her heart, but her eyes lit up unconsciously.
If the hairpin was not left by Gu Li, then who else could it be?
Gu Zhi looked cold-hearted and ruthless, but in fact, it was not!
Thinking of this, Su Li responded to Wen Ling's request: "To be honest, I also think that Gu Zhi is not a good person, I will find a chance to talk to her if I have time in the past two days." ”
"Thank you so much!"
Wen Ling thanked him gratefully, and the two talked for a while, Su Li sent Wen Ling out together, but the maid did not wait for Wen Ling outside, Wen Ling's face suddenly changed: "Ruan Ruan! ”
She called her daughter's name, and Qibao hurriedly stepped forward to reply, saying that the maid had taken Ruan Ruan to the garden to play.
"The house is heavily guarded, and there will be nothing wrong."
Su Li comforted Wen Ling while accompanying her to the garden, and when she was about to arrive, she suddenly heard a loud cry, and the two immediately quickened their pace to rush over, but saw Chu Gua sitting on her own small rocking chair fluttering her limbs and crying happily, Ruan Ruan next to her was sitting cutely, grinning, seeing Su Li and them coming, she also stretched out her tongue and licked her lips, as if she had just eaten something delicious, and the maid who took care of her knelt down in fright.
"What's wrong?"
Su Li asked softly, walked quickly to Chu Gua's side, and helped him pat his back to smooth his breath.
The maid was so frightened that she kowtowed, Wen Ling saw that her daughter was fine, so she knew that her daughter was in trouble, and her face was cold: "The young lady asked you, didn't you hear?!" ”
"Back to ...... Back to the young lady, the slave deserves death, and if she doesn't notice it for a while, let the young lady ...... lightly Thin little Shizi! ”
Su Li: "......"??
Light...... Thin?
Seeing Su Li, Chu Gua stopped crying, Su Li stared at his face for a while, and saw a small tooth mark on his lips, and inexplicably wanted to laugh.
The little girl was so strong that she bit out the print.
"You're still a brother, you know how to cry."
Su Li scraped the bridge of Chu Gua's nose, Chu Gua didn't understand that Su Li was teasing him, and his mouth purred and laughed.
"It's okay, it's just a kid's play, get up."
Su Li asked the maid to get up, and said a word about what had just happened.
If Chu Gua didn't have a yin and yang face, and he didn't have six natural fingers, Su Li might have pulled Wen Ling to kiss the two children at this time.
Su Li doesn't mind that Chugua is like this now, but it doesn't mean that others don't mind.
Life is just a few decades in the world, it is easy to get married, but it is difficult to find a partner who truly loves each other, but who is sure that Chugua will not meet true love in the future?
Thinking of this, Su Li's expression brightened, Wen Ling thoughtfully, bowed his head at Su Li gratefully, and left with Ruan Ruan in his arms.
Su Li accompanied Chu Gua to bask in the sun in the garden, Chu Gu didn't know if he was hungry or bored, he grabbed Su Li's hand and bit it gently, his teeth hadn't grown well, and his strength was not big, and it didn't hurt to bite, but it wasn't very clean in the end.
"Don't bite your hands!"
Su Li was educating Chu Gua, Yue Yan came to change Chu Gua's medicine, Su Li turned her head and was about to talk to her, when there was a stinging pain in her fingertips, and before she could scream in pain, there was one more person in her sight.
