In the small garden of drinking songs, Gu Lisheng's brother and sister sat in the courtyard, and the two girls of Huachun obediently entered the house after having refreshments, and they knew that his brother and sister must have a lot to say.

"Ge'er, are you alright?" Gu Lisheng poured her a cup of tea and asked with some concern. He just watched Gu Jiuge punish the Jiang family and daughter, and watched her fight against the Chen family, and his heart was shocked, the arrogant and domineering little girl in his memory seemed to be a different person.

Gu Jiuge shook his head when he heard this, and said, "If you meet more, you will get used to it." ”

Her light words almost crushed Gu Lisheng's heart.

He held Gu Jiuge's hand and said in a low voice, "It's my brother who is not good, I shouldn't leave you here alone." ”

Gu Lisheng was full of guilt, he should have thought of it, what was the use of Gu Shuyuan loving her again, he was often busy with court politics, and the backyard had always been in the hands of the Jiang family and the Chen family, how could Gu Jiuge get benefits.

"Then my brother has to compensate me well!" Gu Jiuge saw through the self-blame in his eyes, leaned closer, took his arm and said with a chuckle.

Gu Lisheng nodded her forehead and said dotingly, "Then what do you want?" ”

Gu Jiuge looked at this familiar face, the smile in her eyes gradually dissipated, her eyebrows frowned slightly, the memories of her previous life poured into her brain uncontrollably, she could almost think of how desperate and collapsed Gu Li was when she committed suicide in her previous life, and all of this was brought by her.

Thinking of this, one of her hearts tingled uncontrollably.

She looked at Gu Lisheng's eyes and said softly: "I want my brother to be healthy and happy in this life, and grow old safely." ”

Gu Jiuge's sudden words made Gu Lisheng a little stunned, he could clearly see the guilt and self-blame from those clear eyes, mixed with inexplicable hope and gratitude, and his expression was so complicated that he couldn't read it at all, and he couldn't read it through.

"Ge'er, don't worry, my brother will definitely grow old safely, because in this way you can protect you for a lifetime." Gu Lisheng said with a chuckle, pulling up the hair that was messing around her ears, this good man who was full of murderous energy, now even his eyebrows and eyes are gentle.

The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, and all the previous things were scattered in this laughter.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the brother and sister looked back, only to see Gu Qingwei stretching out his little head and looking inside timidly.

"Fennel! Come on in. Gu Jiu Ge said with a smile, beckoning her to come in.

Gu Qingwei's face flushed, she glanced at Gu Lisheng, hesitated and came in with her head down.

"I've been away for too long, and the third sister is so beautiful now." Gu Lisheng said with a chuckle, full of relief between his words. It's just that she hasn't changed over the years with this timid appearance.

I think that at the beginning, when he was still in the house, he had a lot of pity for this sister, and almost loved her as his own sister.

Gu Qingwei's face turned redder and redder when she heard this, and she stood in front of Gu Lisheng, feeling a little at a loss for a while.

"Sit down, why didn't you go with your big sister to pick me up today?" Gu Lisheng pulled her over and sat down, poured her a cup of tea, and then looked at her and asked softly.

Gu Qingwei's eyes darkened, she didn't want to go to the city gate to greet her, but the Li family said that Gu Qingxue couldn't go out because of her ruined appearance, and she, as a sister, couldn't go out to show her face, so she was detained in the courtyard, and she was not allowed to go out even when she went to the door to greet her.

She's just snuck out.

"Big brother......" She obviously had a hundred things to say in her heart, but she didn't know what to say when it came to her mouth.

Gu Lisheng smiled lightly when he saw this, touched her hair, and said with a smile: "It's still like this." ”

Being teased by him like this, Gu Qingwei was a little better, she turned her head and smiled at Gu Lisheng, but she caught a glimpse of something faintly wrong with the moon-white clothes behind him.

She had doubts in her heart, and she had the courage to touch it, but she felt the wetness of her hand. Gu Lisheng didn't expect her to notice her wound so carefully, and she took a breath of cold air in pain.

Gu Qingwei was so frightened that she hurriedly withdrew her hand and asked in surprise, "Big brother, are you injured?" ”

Gu Jiuge's face was also gloomy when he heard this, and he hurriedly walked behind him, and sure enough, he saw that his clothes were a little soaked, revealing a faint red. She frowned, secretly blaming herself for not noticing!

"Brother, what's going on?" Gu Jiuge asked anxiously.

Gu Lisheng didn't want the two of her to worry, "I encountered some trouble on the way back to the city, and I was slightly injured, so I won't get in the way." ”

"By the way, Ge'er, what's going on with your identity as the county lord?" Gu Lisheng pulled the two of them to sit down beside him, and explained that the topic was diverted. When Gu Jiuge saw him like this, he knew what he was thinking, and he didn't ask anything more.

"In the past few months, the heavy rain has caused waterlogging, and the eldest sister not only settled those refugees, but also cured the plague. Gu Qingwei said softly, but Gu Lisheng frowned slightly when he heard it.

Gu Jiuge did these things, and it can indeed be said that he has made great contributions, but the Dayue Dynasty has never made an exception to give the county lord, how could such glory fall on Gu Jiuge?

"Since ancient times, if you want to give the title of county lord, you have always needed to have merit that can shine for thousands of years, or rely on the ......elders of the clan," Gu Lisheng muttered in a low voice, he raised his head, looked at Gu Jiuge and asked in a deep voice: "How could Your Majesty give you the title of county lord so easily?" And the name Qinghe has a very strong meaning and weight. ”

Gu Jiuge's face was embarrassed when she heard this, how could she tell Gu Lisheng that in fact, her identity as the county lord was asked by Mu Liang for her.

"Ge'er, tell my brother honestly, is something wrong?" Seeing that Gu Jiuge didn't speak, Gu Lisheng became more and more worried in his heart.

"Big brother, you're thinking too much." Seeing that he was in a hurry, Gu Qingwei hurriedly comforted him, glanced at Gu Jiuge, and only continued after getting her permission.

"At the beginning, His Majesty was going to give the eldest sister ten thousand taels of gold and countless brocades. It was His Royal Highness King Liang, who asked for this reward for his eldest sister, and even the name Qinghe was thought of by the prince in advance. Gu Qingwei said softly

After hearing her words, Gu Lisheng was already shocked.

"Ge'er, His Royal Highness King Liang is cold and indifferent by nature, why is he so good to you?" Gu Lisheng asked tentatively, he only remembered now that when he was at the city gate in the morning, he did see Mu Liang standing beside Gu Jiuge.

Gu Jiuge's face was slightly red, and he said perfunctorily: "Like-minded friends." ”

It's just that her words really have some meaning to cover up.

Gu Lisheng was puzzled when he heard this, it seemed that it was time to inquire about what had happened in the five years that he had been away.

Gu Qingwei stayed in the drinking song garden for a while, and then reluctantly left, Gu Lisheng and they wanted to enter the palace to see today's reception banquet. After five years, Gu Lisheng still treats her as well as before, and this is also her brother. Now that Gu Lisheng is back, she is also a child who is hurt.

Along the way, Gu Qingwei was bouncing, the breeze followed behind, and she was full of joy when she looked at it, Gu Qingwei hadn't been so happy for a long time.

But before Gu Qingwei returned to his fennel dock, he was called to Luoxue Pavilion by Luoyu. Gu Qingwei was stunned for a moment, and she was faintly uneasy in her heart, not knowing what the Li family was asking her to do at this time.

"Mother, sister." Gu Qingwei entered the house and shouted timidly, but as soon as her voice fell, she heard the sound of smashing things from inside the house. Gu Qingwei was stunned for a moment, trembling with fright.

"Don't die soon!" There was a roar from the Li family in the house, and Gu Qingwei was afraid in her heart and didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly walked in.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Gu Qingxue sitting on the bed, the ground full of fragments of cups and vases, which showed that she must have lost her temper. Li sat on the edge of the bed and coaxed her softly, and when Fang just yelled at her, he judged the two of them.

"Did you run out this afternoon?" Li Shi glanced at her, looked at her and asked angrily.

Gu Qingwei was frightened when she heard this, and said hesitantly: "Big brother, big brother is back, I'll go see him." ”

She said it cautiously, but she didn't know which sentence annoyed Lee. Li rushed forward with an arrow and slapped her hard.

"Big brother? Your name is so kind! Don't forget, people crawl out of the noble lady of the main room, and you are just a concubine who can't be on the stage! Where the incense goes, drill where it goes, are you a mouse? After beating her, Li was still not satisfied, grabbed her ear, and yelled at her.

Gu Qingwei was in pain and afraid, and suddenly burst into tears, but she didn't dare to resist her.

"Mother, I don't know what my daughter did wrong." She asked crying, but in exchange for more scolding.

"What's wrong? Pretending to be pitiful all day long, I came and went to stammer Gu Jiuge's brother and sister, how could I have such a useless daughter as you! How? Do you look down on me as an aunt now, so you want to climb the high branches, thinking about whether you can be recorded in her Zhao Lin's name and become a concubine, right? ”

The nameless anger of the Li clan became heavier and heavier, and Gu Qingwei hurriedly knelt down.

"Mother! You really misunderstood me, when my eldest brother was still in the house, he took care of me a lot, and now that he is back, I really just went to see it. Gu Qingwei cried and explained, but the Li family had a mind to teach her a good lesson, and it was useless to let her say anything.

"You mean we've done you badly, don't you?" Gu Qingxue also jumped up from the bed, pointed at Gu Qingwei and asked angrily.

The more Gu Qingwei explained, the more chaotic she became, and she burst into tears in a hurry.

Qingfeng finally couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Gu Qingwei.

"Auntie, our young lady is also your flesh and blood, why do you always treat her like this!" Qingfeng asked in annoyance, but before the words fell, Gu Qingxue kicked him to the ground.

"Something! A dares to be so presumptuous! ”

Gu Qingwei hurriedly hugged the breeze and whispered in her ear, signaling her to calm down so as not to be punished.
