Speaking of Gu Xueqi again, Gu Shangqing sighed and said, "I didn't expect this girl to be so resolute." She said she was thinking very clearly, and she wanted to see Seventeen get better. I asked him, you are the first time you have seen that kid, do you care if he is good? As a result, Xueqi told me that some people pass by, and some people glance at each other for thousands of years, in short, they are all different fates, she doesn't force it, but she doesn't want to refuse. ”

"Ahem" Su Jinyao was choked for a moment, and then she understood what it means to be a versatile lady.

Gu Xueqi looks like a gentle and kind weak girl, but she still has a stubbornness when she speaks.

Su Jinyao took a breath and said to Gu Shangqing: "I think what Xue Qi said is right, it seems that Gu Xuebin and I have the same feelings about Chu Kefan, and you can't put it away in your heart, not if you want to let it go." ”

Speaking of this, Su Jinyao thought of Mu Qingyu and Qiu Ying again. That's the weirdest couple, well, not even a couple.

But it was also Mu Qingyu who fell in love with Qiu Ying at first sight, and it seems that this is also a kind of fate that can't be abandoned.

And Chu Kefan has become Gu Shangqing's weakness, as long as these three words are mentioned, Gu Shangqing can be happy for a long time.

Su Jinyao looked at Gu Shangqing's thoughtful appearance, and no longer bothered his unrequited love.

After waiting for a while, Gu Xueqi came back first. It looks like I've washed my face, and the hair on my sideburns is still a little wet. But his face finally stopped reddening.

Su Jinyao pulled Gu Xueqi to the side and told her about the steps to be carried out in a while. He also deliberately said: "When I use the knife, you must not be surprised by what you see, and do not try to stop it." There is a slight deviation in the falling knife, but something is wrong. If you really can't stand it, I'll ask my big brother to help. ”

"I can do it, really." Gu Xueqi nodded vigorously and insisted again and again.

Su Jinyao said a few more precautions, and Seventeen also came back. Wearing the wide-eaves hat on his head, he could barely see his face clearly, and he was carrying things in his left and right hands, and it seemed that he had bought all the things Su Jinyao needed.

"Miss Liu, this is medicine, according to what you wrote in the prescription, all of it has been ground into powder." Seventeen put the paper bag in his left hand on the table, lifted a small bag in his right hand, and said, "These are the knives, scissors, and needles and threads you wrote, and they have all been bought according to the dimensions you marked." There may be a difference in the thickness of the needle, but I really can't find the size you said. ”

Su Jinyao got up and went over to take it, first opened the cloth bag to check the tools she needed, and then said, "It's all available." Then sit down, and let's get started. ”

Seventeen didn't say a word, but still sat down in the chair he had just sat down. But this time, I learned to be obedient, and I automatically raised my head and raised my face without Su Jinyao's reminder.

Every time Su Jinyao carefully looked at the wounds on her seventeen faces, her heart was twisted. Now I'm ready to start helping him recover, but I can't tell what I feel in my heart.

Thinking about it carefully, maybe he was a little worried, afraid that after he did this, Seventeen would be punished more severely.

"Seventeen." Su Jinyao called him and asked, "Can you break away from the supervision of the Shadow Guard Pavilion?" How about asking Gu Xuebin to write a pardon order and transfer you out? ”

Seventeen heard Su Jinyao ask this, and was obviously stunned. Then he swallowed his saliva and said, "Miss Liu, since the day we entered the Shadow Guard Pavilion, our lives have been put in it. Since your life is not your own, how can you get rid of it? ”

Su Jinyao was unwilling to hear this, but thinking about it, Seventeen was actually a bit dead-eyed, and she didn't mention it anymore.

Anyway, she will discuss it with Gu Xuebin, and she doesn't have to make her own decisions.

When Gu Xueqi heard Su Jinyao's words, her heart also turned and turned.

It's just that Gu Xueqi has a good temperament, so she never interjects. Plus she saw that her heart began to beat again after she came back, so she could only stand aside silently, quietly waiting to cooperate with Su Jinyao's work.

Su Jinyao didn't say anything anymore, and first sealed the seventeen acupoints with silver needles, which played a role in stopping bleeding and relieving pain. Then pick up a sharp knife and start to remove the scar with your hands.

With a knife down, the surface of the skin was cut, and blood flowed down.

Gu Xueqi couldn't help but let out a "ah", and then covered her mouth tightly with her hand. But the circles under his eyes began to heat up for a while.

The whole process of surgery was definitely a severe test for Gu Xueqi. But she didn't know how to persevere, and she was even able to wipe off the blood stains and apply ointment according to Su Jinyao's request.

The gap between the two is too great

Smoothing the scar on her face was a minor operation for Su Jinyao, so it was done quickly.

However, when it was done and bandaged, Su Jinyao did not let Gu Xueqi do it, but she personally gave seventeen packs with a white cloth.

This kind of mummy dress with the whole head entangled made Su Jinyao very satisfied, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Seventeen looks honest, looking like he is being slaughtered. Even if the whole face was wrapped, there was not the slightest objection.

It wasn't until he heard Su Jinyao's soft laughter that he frowned slightly and asked, "Miss Liu, are you okay?" ”

"I've always been good." After Su Jinyao answered the question, she finally cut the remaining strip of cloth in her hand that had not been wrapped, and if she wrapped it again, she was worried that she would suffocate Seventeen to death.

Gu Xueqi looked at Seventeen's head that was obviously bigger, and finally changed to a look that wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh.

Su Jinyao picked up the ointment that was still half left after applying, stuffed it directly into Seventeen's hand, and said, "After three days, the cloth strip will be untied, and I will apply the medicine myself at the wound." Taken once every three days, these medicines can be used twice. Come to me when you're done with it, and I'll check it on you again. ”

Afraid that Seventeen would not listen, Su Jinyao said again: "This is my order, if you don't do what I tell you, I will tell Gu Xuebin." ”

Seventeen pinched the medicine **, as if the corners of his mouth twitched. However, because the face is wrapped in too thick strips of cloth, any expression is extremely subtle and almost undetectable.

Su Jinyao smiled again, then pointed to Gu Xueqi beside her, and said, "Now it's time for you to thank the eldest lady of the Gu family, she really helped a lot." ”

Seventeen nodded, got up respectfully, bowed to Gu Xueqi to the ground, and said, "Thank you, Miss Gu." It's just that Seventeen can't be rewarded. ”

"I'm just helping Jinyao, don't thank me." Gu Xueqi's voice was small, but it was very clear.

After saying that, as if she had mustered up enough courage, she raised her head and smiled at Seventeen. The smile is very peaceful and warm, but there is no special emotion.

Su Jinyao listened to Seventeen's words, and wanted to interject, saying, "I can't repay you for making a promise." But his mouth opened, and he glanced at Gu Shangqing squinting from the side, and swallowed the words back.

Seventeen never reacted otherwise, bowed to Gu Xueqi again, and didn't speak again.

Su Jinyao sighed secretly, and she didn't know if she was doing it right or wrong.

She likes Gu Xueqi's gentle and kind temperament very much, and she also wants to be a real good sister with her. And Su Jinyao felt that a good sister should not help like this?

But now it seems that Gu Shangqing's stop seems to be justified. Gu Xueqi and Seventeen are indeed too far apart.

Although Seventeen's face was now wrapped like a rice dumpling, he didn't seem to care much. In other words, as a shadow guard, he is the shadow of the master, and he only has the appearance of the master in his eyes, and he never cares about his appearance.

Then Seventeen said goodbye to Su Jinyao, put the medicine ** into his arms, and reached out to put the hat on.

Seventeen's hat noodles also have a layer of gray tulle that can be rolled up or put down. After putting the hat on this time, Seventeen put down the tulle and covered the strips of cloth that covered his face.

Su Jinyao didn't have any excuse to leave him, so she couldn't invite him to dinner at the Gu family. Therefore, he just said: "Be careful on the road, remember to rub the medicine." ”

Seventeen agreed, bowed to Gu Shangqing and Gu Xueqi, and said goodbye, and then turned around and left.

Su Jinyao's eyes glanced at Gu Xueqi, wanting to see if she was reluctant or had a stagnant look. But she only saw Gu Xueqi bowing her head and starting to clean up the bloody strips of cloth on the table, but her movements were a little stiff.

Su Jinyao completely understood that Gu Xueqi was not like a water, at least she knew her own identity very well. She didn't dare to expect anything to develop with Seventeen.

On the contrary, Su Jinyao looked at Gu Shangqing again, and felt that men were still bolder, at least he looked at Chu Kefan, and he dared to admit and pursue.

The matter has come to this, Su Jinyao has nothing to say. However, she did not regret healing Seventeen, let alone letting Gu Xueqi help.

After cleaning up for a while, Gu Xueqi raised her head and asked Su Jinyao, "Jinyao, is there anything else?" ”

"No, it's fine. Thank you, Xueqi. Su Jinyao shook her head, knowing that Gu Xueqi was also leaving.

And Gu Xueqi is sure that her heart is not as calm as she appears now, she needs to be quiet to sort out her thoughts.

Sure enough, Gu Xueqi smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go back first." When I saw the blood, I didn't feel it just now, but now it's a little uncomfortable. ”

"Well, you go back, I'll come to you later, let's have dinner together." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she took over half of Gu Xueqi's things.

Gu Xueqi just agreed, turned her head to say hello to Gu Shangqing, and left.

Su Jinyao looked at Gu Xueqi's back, took a deep breath, and shook her head again.

Gu Shangqing stood up at this time, sighed with Su Jinyao's sigh, and then said, "Now I know." The daughters of the Gu family are not all as noisy as you and Xiang Yuxuan. ”

Yes, if it is replaced by Gu Yuxuan today, and it is a small city sitting in front of you......

Small town! Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, only to realize that since she separated from Xiaocheng'er yesterday, she hadn't seen him appear again.

Su Jinyao patted her head and felt that she was also an unqualified sister. He forgot about his younger brother, and he didn't ask Seventeen if he saw Xiaocheng'er, after he sent Gu Xuebin back, did he go back to Gu's house?

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao hurriedly asked Gu Shangqing, "Brother, yesterday you asked Xiaocheng'er to send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to Beijing, and I haven't seen Xiaocheng'er since then." Did he go straight back to the Gujia Courtyard? ”

"Huh? Don't you know yet? Gu Shangqing was also stunned by Su Jinyao's question, and asked rhetorically: "I thought my grandfather told you." ”

Su Jinyao looked puzzled and said, "Grandpa? No, I don't. Didn't we sit with Grandpa yesterday? And then from this morning to now, you were there when I saw my grandfather, but my grandfather wasn't there when I saw you. What can he tell me? ”

Gu Shangqing blinked his eyes and said, "Grandpa let Xiaocheng'er go home." ”

"Home? Which home? Didn't he always study in the other courtyard of the Gu family? The more Su Jinyao listened, the more confused she became, and how could she feel strange about this matter?

Gu Shangqing shook his head and said, "It's not in the other courtyard, he went back to your hometown in Nanpingzhou." ”

Why didn't Xiaocheng'er say goodbye

Xiaocheng'er went back to his hometown in Nanpingzhou? Su Jinyao was stunned when she heard this, and asked, "Then when did he leave?" Is it an errand? ”

If it weren't for the fact that he was in a hurry to do something, Xiaocheng'er would have come to say hello and goodbye to him.

This time is not like before, Su Jinyao's identity cannot be put in the open. Now Su Jinyao is already the young lady of the Gu family, although Xiao Cheng'er is still a scholar next to the old man, but everyone in the Gu family knows the relationship between the two, it is more than ten years of sister and brother love, how can it be possible not to let Xiao Cheng'er say goodbye.

"It's not about the Gu family. It seems to be ...... Something happened to your family. Gu Shangqing hesitated for a moment before saying, "I guess grandpa didn't tell you, it's because of this." ”

"What's going on at home? Brother, don't you tell me sentence by sentence, can you do it? Su Jinyao was anxious, and grabbed Gu Shangqing's sleeve in the past.

Although she once wanted to leave that home, she has to say that since she crossed over, it was everything in that home that gave her the feelings of returning to ordinary people.

Whether it is the harmony and happiness of the family in the past, or the pain that cannot be forgotten, it is the process of letting Su Jinyao have feelings little by little.

Looking back now, without everything in the Su family, including the trivial things in the village, including the third aunt's family or the Li family, and the Wu family's tattered things, Su Jinyao would not have turned herself into a small village girl all of a sudden.

So now, as soon as she heard that something might be wrong with the Su family, and it was something that made Xiaocheng'er go back in a hurry, Su Jinyao was also completely nervous.

Gu Shangqing grabbed Su Jinyao's wrist with his backhand, patted her arm, and said, "Don't worry, Jinyao, you sit down and listen to me." ”

Su Jinyao twisted her eyebrows, and looked at Gu Shangqing's expression that was not too nervous, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Gu Shangqing is sometimes unreliable, he still loves himself in his bones, and he is also smart and measured in his work, so he will not deliberately joke with himself about things at home.

Su Jinyao took another breath and did not sit down, but tried her best to calm her eyes and looked at Gu Shangqing.

Gu Shangqing said: "I don't know the specific situation. The person who came was sent by someone named Ma Liu from Anji City, saying that something happened to your eldest sister, and it seems to be related to the scar on her face. But they didn't tell us how they came, they just talked to Xiaocheng'er, who was in a hurry to go back. ”

After thinking about it, Gu Shangqing said: "Time, it's probably when you and your second aunt went to pick out clothes, and someone came to find the house." Because he was directly looking for Xiaocheng'er, and it was a family matter, Grandpa asked someone to lead the messenger to Xiaocheng'er, saying that he didn't have to come back to take leave, and went back directly. ”

Is it Sophie's business? When Su Jinyao came out of the house, she left enough medicine for Su Fei'er.

But Sophie's face has too many scars, and of course this situation is not something that can be quickly improved with a panacea, and it will take some time to slowly heal.

And Ma Liu called someone to find Xiaocheng'er, but he should not have gotten the news that he had returned to Beijing.

But Ma Liu is measured, and Su Jinyao knows. He also knew very well what the spy in Su Jinyao's hand was doing.

A lot of secret agents are distributed, and they are all covered by Ma Liu's carriage and horse shops, restaurants, and inns across the country.

So once there is really a big event, Ma Liu will not use such a relationship to contact him, but deliberately go to the unfamiliar Gu family to find Xiaocheng'er.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief again, thinking that it should really be the Su family's business, and it was not about herself, so she asked Xiaocheng'er to go back and deal with it.

Think about it, or maybe Su Fei'er and Su Xiangui already have a little bit of life for Su Jinyao, so they don't want to trouble Su Jinyao, so they come directly to Xiaocheng'er.

Although this thought made Su Jinyao a little bored, she felt that the family still regarded herself as an outsider after all.

But if you think about it carefully, she has now returned to the ancient family, and with the temperament of Su Xiangui and Su Fei'er, she doesn't dare to "climb high".

In the end, Su Jinyao felt that her relationship with the Su family and Pingshan Village was only a small city.

Gu Shangqing looked at Su Jinyao's slowly changing expression, pressed his big hand on Su Jinyao's shoulder, and said, "Although I didn't see Xiaocheng'er leave, I told the person who sent the letter, once there is any news after he goes back, let him think of sending the letter again." Whatever the news, let it know. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Thank you, brother." ”

"Since you still call me 'brother', don't say anything 'thank you'. Go back and go to Heming Mountain on my behalf and give your sister-in-law a New Year's greeting. Gu Shangqing's originally peaceful and elegant face suddenly showed a look of expectation.

Su Jinyao glanced at him and secretly supported her forehead. It seems that once an infatuated man falls in, he can't pull it out. I'm afraid that Chu Kefan won't appreciate it, how should she match?

Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing talked for a while, and it was not too early to see that it was dark, so they went back to clean up and prepared to go to Gu Xueqi. She promised to ask Gu Xueqi to go to dinner together.

Gu Xueqi's boudoir is also very elegantly decorated, but unlike Su Jinyao's plainness, there are many trinkets in the house as decorations.

And because it came to the end of the year, hand-woven various colors of yarns, national knots, as well as various colors of silk threads, tassels, and beads were placed on a table.
