Early the next morning, Hanyan and the others left the villa and went to Xieyang City. Gu Qingyan was woken up by Su Xin, saying that Su Tanxue was waiting outside the door, Gu Qingyan woke up in a daze, quickly washed up, put on the clothes Su Xin brought, put on a mask, and went out of the house first, letting Su Tanxue into the house first.

Su Tanxue sat down, comforted Gu Qingyan and said, "Qingyan, don't worry, it's me who got up earlier in the morning." ”

Gu Qingyan was pulled back by Su Xin to sit in front of the bronze mirror: "It's me who is sleepy." Let you wait outside for a while, you drink some hot first, don't look back and catch a cold. As he spoke, he motioned to Su Tanxue to drink the water that Su Xin had just poured on the table.

Su Xin held Gu Qingyan's hair, picked a pair of flowers and tassels, and shook them for Gu Qingyan to wear, and slightly adjusted a hairstyle. Gu Qingyan's bun has never been complicated, but she must be stable, and she must not be loose when she moves or fights, so Su Xin deliberately practiced her hand. Every time, Gu Qingyan's hair bun is combed first, and then fixed it with some light small hair accessories or headbands.

Su Tanxue took a sip of the hot tea here, feeling warm, but there was no tea taste but a sweet aftertaste, some doubts, Gu Qingyan saw Su Tanxue's expression from the bronze mirror, so he said: "How about it, the taste is different, right?" ”

Su Tanxue nodded, and listened to Gu Qingyan continue: "There is osmanthus and chrysanthemum mixed with some acacia nectar, and it is not good to drink tea every day." ”

Su Tanxue was a little surprised, she really didn't know that so many kinds of flowers could have such a taste together. Gu Qingyan had already fixed her hair bun and walked towards her, Su Tanxue saw that the double step shake could still maintain stability in Gu Qingyan's step by step, and after a closer look, she could see that in addition to this pair of step shakes, the other three small decorations between Gu Qingyan's hair buns were also particularly exquisite, and for a while she was a little unsure what kind of woman Gu Qingyan was.

The two chatted in the house for a while, and then went to the old lady's courtyard, and when they entered the courtyard, they happened to meet Han Zhuo and his wife, who invited An, and simply greeted him at the door, and went to the courtyard.

The two girls went to the courtyard, but the two adults chatted while walking, He Jing asked Han Zhuo: "Which of these two girls do you prefer?" ”

Han Zhuo looked at He Jing, seemed to understand her intentions, and said: "These two children are like two different sides, both have their own advantages, it's just their children's path, how can we say it clearly." ”

He Jing was a straightforward person, and said: "After all, I still think that Qingyan is more suitable for this girl." You know, this land has never been calm, and she is not suitable for exploring the snow. Just like my junior sister was not suitable back then, although I left Tanxue in the villa, I also hoped that she would have nothing to do with the villa when she walked out in the future. ”

Han Zhuo took He Jing's hand and said as he walked: "That's also the children's business, you see, don't you still envy Gu Ning and them?" They can be free and easy because they have their own sense of proportion in their hearts for these children. After speaking, he took He Jing away. The future, who can say clearly, the future road, but also rely on their own, since today, several children have gathered together, that is the fetters given by fate, the result is a solution or a knot, its own certainty.

In Xieyang City, Hanyan took Xu Shaolin and a few people to turn around first, Zong Yue looked at the people coming and going, and couldn't help but say: "I haven't come to Xieyang for a while, and I really miss the sunset here." ”

Whenever the sun sets, the city of the sunset is shrouded in a glow, here to see the sunset is very beautiful, so the city of the sunset is named. Han Yan teased: "If you like it, come more often, and I won't see you doing anything serious every day." ”

Zong Yue said helplessly: "I will be a doctor in the rivers and lakes, and the task assigned by the masters back then was to take care of that girl, but now that girl is alive and kicking, I will be idle." ”

Having said that, Zong Yue has a stalk about Gu Qingyan's scars in his heart, for so many years, he has never developed an ointment that can completely remove scars, this is like a challenge for him, the more he does not succeed, the more he can arouse his desire to conquer, at first Gu Qingyan was persuading Zong Yue to say that it didn't matter, but later he also changed with him.

Putting this topic aside, Han Yan asked, "Are you all going to Biluo Palace?" ”

Xu Shaolin said: "I'm not sure, it's been some time since Biluo Palace sent out a post, but if you look at the west, there has been some dark movement, but on our side, the wind doesn't blow, and the clouds don't move." It remains to be seen. ”

Biluo Palace's sudden post, I can probably guess a seven or eight point intention, not for the so-called alliance leader, I'm afraid that he has this heart, but he doesn't have the strength. And Xu Shaolin's idea is that as long as this fire does not blow on Taohuajian, he will not mix with this kick, after all, Taohuajian has to take care of the court in addition to the identity of the rivers and lakes.

Here, Hanyan took Xu Shaolin and a few people to buy the things prepared for the birthday, and over there, Su Tanxue and Gu Qingyan also came to the old lady's courtyard, said hello, and talked to her for a while by the side of the Hanyin family, and not long after, Master Qu of Hualinzhuang came with a female deputy.

Gu Qingyan and Su Tanxue took the old lady into the back room and changed their clothes. This is a dark red pine crane suit, the color tone is just right to set off the temperament of the elderly, not too bright but not dull.

After straightening out the clothes, the three of them went out together, and the Hanyin clan asked Master Qu to look at it again, the clothes fit very well, so that there is no need to change them, and it is okay to look at the version. After trying on the clothes for a while, the Hanyin clan wanted to take them off, so he asked Yun Fang to help him to change his clothes, and said to Master Qu before turning around: "Measure Miss Tanxue too, it's time to make a few winter clothes." ”

After that, when he saw that Master Qu had returned, he went in to change his clothes. The female deputy stepped forward, holding a few pieces of cloth, and after placing them on the table on the side, as Su Tanxue went to the side to measure the size, Gu Qingyan sat in the hall and waited, and glanced at the fabrics, mostly plain colors such as frost and moon white, and a few of them with a little color also looked a little brighter among them: "These colors were all picked by Miss Tanxue herself?" Gu Qingyan asked.

Her understanding of Hualinzhuang is that Han Yan mentioned a few words, Master Qu is an old craftsman, and most people choose more dazzling colors in order to look warmer in winter, and this is what they do, they will not be ignorant, so Gu Qingyan asked.

Sure enough, Master Qu replied: "Exactly, these colors are cold in winter, but Miss Tanxue loves these colors so much that she also brought them." ”

Gu Qingyan also discovered this in the past two days, Su Tanxue's clothes are mostly plain in color, and the already quiet person looks even colder. Gu Qingyan looked around, picked up a piece of cloth and asked Master Qu, "What color is this?" ”

Master Qu said: "This is a light yellow-brown color, which can often be used as a skirt." ”

Gu Qingyan nodded, just at this time Su Tanxue walked out, Gu Qingyan raised the cloth in his hand and said, "I see that this color is suitable for you, oh, you can compare it." ”

As she spoke, she motioned to the female deputy to take it over and compare, Su Tanxue lowered her head a little embarrassed, since her mother died, she rarely wore colored clothes anymore, and now seeing Gu Qingyan looking at her with a smile on her face, she couldn't refuse, so she let Gu Qingyan and Master Qu sing and set the color, think about it, just let Gu Qingyan go, maybe it's better to change the color.

When the Hanyin clan came out, he happened to see the scene of Gu Qingyan helping Su Tanxue pick a color, and said to Yun Fang on the side: "Have you seen when this girl has helped others like this?" ”

Yun Fang shook her head, Gu Qingyan has always been the kind of person who seems to be nothing, and has not shown it obviously, this is really the first time: "The fourth girl should like Miss Tanxue very much." ”

Han Yin looked at the two girls and said, "Qingyan, this girl has grown up in the boy pile since she was a child, don't look at her extroverted temperament, she is also a girl after all, you see, she can't discuss this kind of thing with those three big men." Tanxue was young because her mother left early, and her personality was much more introverted, but the friendship between girls and girls was very simple, as long as it was the same, it would not be complicated. ”

After speaking, the Hanyin Clan and Yun Fang walked out, and Gu Qingyan saw the Hanyin Clan coming out, and said coincidentally: "Grandma, look, how about the color I picked for Tanxue?" ”

Han Yin scratched Gu Qingyan's nose and said, "It's good-looking." ”

He turned to Su Tanxue and said, "Tanxue, after so many years, it's good to look at other colors." Su Tanxue looked at the loving gaze of the Hanyin clan and nodded: "Grandma, Tanxue understands." ”

The Hanyin clan pulled the two children with satisfaction, and then instructed Master Qu a few words before sending them away.

After lunch, Hanyin had the habit of taking a lunch break, so he went back to the room for a lunch break, Su Tanxue prepared painting tools, Gu Qingyan was bored, so he went to the yard to take a turn, and after a while, Su Tanxue came out, sat down with Gu Qingyan, and chatted: "I have been getting along for the past few days, I envy you so much." ”

Su Tanxue said tentatively, her voice was also very small, thanks to Gu Qing's good ear skills, she was puzzled and asked: "Envy?" Why? ”

Su Tanxue thought that Gu Qingyan would not be able to hear it, but she didn't expect Gu Qingyan to ask like this, so she was slightly stunned for a moment, and said, "I saw you coming from a distance in the front hall that day, as if there was wind under your feet. Later, when I listened to everyone chatting, I always felt that you could say something, as if you didn't have to think too much about what to do. ”

When Gu Qingyan heard this, she suddenly felt that this was not a compliment to herself, but she made herself feel a little embarrassed, and smiled: "I haven't had too many people to care about it since I was a child, as long as I don't lose myself and don't destroy the world, it should be fine." ”

Gu Qingyan actually knew that her ability to do whatever she wanted came from her own character on the one hand, and most importantly from the people behind her who protected her on the other hand. Whether it is her parents, her master or her three elder brothers, they connived at her and let her go presumptuously, just like she said, their bottom line for her is that as long as she doesn't put herself in danger, she can't save herself, as long as she doesn't make a big mess in the world, let her break into this world.

But at the same time, she must cherish herself more, learn to save herself in adversity and danger, and learn to be comfortable between various people, so that they can feel at ease. But is it easy to do? Naturally not.

Gu Qingyan didn't say this to Su Tanxue, because she thought that Su Tanxue's world should be clean and pure, and she had already had blood on her hands.

Su Tanxue didn't feel Gu Qingyan's heart, but when she said what she meant on the surface, she said: "When I was a child, I also saw my mother practice, but my father didn't want me to learn, he said that someone would protect me in the future." ”

Gu Qingyan smiled, patted Su Tanxue's hand and said, "Uncle Su is prescient, you see, this is not in Qingquan Villa, you have someone to protect you." ”

"But you also have brothers, why do you also know martial arts?" Su Tanxue didn't understand.

Gu Qingyan said: "Because they can't be by my side all the time, and I can't always stay in the peach blossom stream, so, let's learn." ”

From the beginning, she and Su Tanxue were two different types of people, she was destined to be ethereal in the rivers and lakes, but if Su Tanxue was not an accident, her life would still be stable now, "By the way, if you want to learn, I can take you to try." Gu Qingyan saw that Su Tanxue had a little lost look, and hurriedly said.

After listening to this, Su Tanxue's eyes lit up and looked at Gu Qingyan: "Really?" ”

Gu Qingyan thought to herself, she couldn't teach anything else and didn't dare to teach, she was afraid that Han Yan would know that she was asking, but she could teach Su Tanxue to try

。 If you really encounter something, you can run faster: "I can teach you light skills, but we can't learn here, if I am discovered by Hanyan, I will be miserable." ”

Su Tanxue nodded, and was always a little curious about the relationship between her and Han Yan, feeling that the two usually met with a cold face like a feud to see each other, and they both lived in each other's mouths when they didn't meet: "Qingyan, you and Han Yan?" ”

Su Tanxue felt that it didn't seem appropriate to ask this question halfway through her words, so she accepted it. At this time, the two of them chatted for a while, and the Hanyin clan also woke up, and this topic was brought over like this, in fact, Gu Qingyan heard Su Tanxue ask, but she didn't think much about it, and she didn't answer for a while, so it was no such thing.

In the afternoon, Hanyin and Su Tanxue were painting on the table, and Gu Qingyan was watching. Gradually, a picture of Lamei appeared in front of him, Gu Qingyan looked at it with admiration, and did not forget to praise it while watching, and the Hanyin clan asked Gu Qingyan to take a closer look.

Gu Qingyan heard the words and took a closer look, and saw that the plum blossom was as if it were real: "This red plum is like the real one." ”

Hanyin smiled, "What about other than that? ”

Saying that, waving his hand above the paper and ink, Gu Qingyan quietly smelled a faint aroma, and then listened to Han Yin's words: "This is a specially blended pigment from Tanxue, mixed with natural flower juice, this color is much fresher." ”

For this aspect, Gu Qingyan admires Su Tanxue, which can be picked out by her, which is really good. After appreciating the painting for a while, Gu Qingyan and Su Tanxue no longer bothered the old lady, so they bowed and walked back.

In two days it will be the old lady's birthday, and it is time for the old lady to rest. The two walked all the way back, discussing what the two of them were going to do in the coming days.

As he was talking, he met a few people from Hanyan who came back from the cloister, Gu Qingyan just saw Hanyan and unconsciously turned cold, Xu Shaolin and the three of them were basically used to it, they didn't see it, Su Tanxue got closer to Gu Qingyan after getting along with each other for a day, and now she also paid attention to Gu Qingyan, seeing her sudden change of expression, she suddenly felt a little funny, so she deliberately said to Hanyan for the first time: "Brother Yan, you are back." ”

Han Yan was stunned for a moment, Su Tanxue was a little less cautious when talking to him now, and she didn't know if it was brought by the girl next to her: "Well, everything is almost bought, what about you?" Grandma, is that okay? ”

Su Tanxue replied: "Everything is fine, grandma's birthday clothes have also been tried, everything is fine." ”

Since Su Tanxue came to Qingquan Villa, she often went to accompany her grandmother, and sometimes Han Yan couldn't get away from it, so she would often listen to Su Tanxue. "Master Qu should also make winter clothes, the color you picked won't be plain, right?"

Han Yan asked, Su Tanxue listened, pulled Gu Qingyan on the side, and said with a smile: "No, this time it was Qingyan who helped me pick the color, and I also think I can give it a try." ”

After finishing speaking, she winked at Gu Qingyan, Su Tanxue gradually began to change a little, and she didn't feel that she was in the eyes of others. Gu Qingyan smiled with her and didn't say anything, but Han Yan's voice came from her ears: "Thank you." ”

Gu Qingyan glanced at Han Yan, and still said coldly: "It's a little early now, and it's not too late to talk about it in a while." ”

The two of them suddenly spoke dumbly, which made Su Tanxue a little confused for a while, Xu Shaolin came out of the round and said, "It's okay, come, this is for the two of you." ”

As he spoke, he saw Dongli walking over with two paper bags behind him, Gu Qingyan had already smelled the fragrance, but it was not easy to say it directly, seeing that Dongli finally took it out, he took it unceremoniously, feeling a little hot, and provoked Zong Yue to say: "My little aunt, you slow down." It's not like I've been hungry for a long time. ”

This thing is a roasted sweet potato, and a few people saw it on the way back, Xu Shaolin thought that Gu Qingyan liked to eat this thing, so he bought two, one for her and one for Su Tanxue.

Su Tanxue was not as anxious as Gu Qingyan, and after taking it, she thanked Xu Shaolin first, and then looked at Gu Qingyan, who had already peeled off her skin.

A few people took the opportunity to sit down at the pavilion in the cloister, and Gu Qingyan said to Su Tanxue: "A few of them don't like to eat this thing, let's leave them alone, it won't taste good if it's cold for a while." ”

Gu Qingyan said, and ate it in one bite. Think about that picture, the woman with the mask is gnawing on the roasted sweet potato one by one, it turns out that the four girls who are cold-blooded and ruthless when they kill people still have such a side that is no different from ordinary people.
