Si Xingpei said that there was a person hidden in the safe.

Gu Qingzhou shuddered.

Because what is hidden in it cannot be a living person!

The mountains were colder than outside, and it was winter, and when the door of the safe was opened, a cold current paved the surface, and Gu Qingzhou's cheeks were frozen stiff.

Si Xingpei gathered the iron gray big man, restrained his expression, and the lines of his face were tense, solemn and solemn.

"Come on." He returned his hand and pulled Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou's hand was already frozen, and the warmth of Si Xingpei's palm gave her warmth, and she held it tightly and refused to let go.

Si Xingpei led her inside.

This secret room is even deeper than Gu Qingzhou imagined, and the safe-like door is not to prevent theft, but to block the chill inside.

Both sides of the aisle are covered in ice.

Gu Qingzhou blinked, feeling that his eyelashes were heavy, and a layer of ice slag formed in a moment's effort.

When they stopped, Gu Qingzhou forgot to breathe, allowing the heat to ripple and turn into ice in an instant.

In front of Gu Qingzhou, there was a huge crystal coffin.

The crystal coffin is embedded in ice, the inside of the coffin is very dry, and it is surrounded by flowers made of cloth.

In the splendid pile, there was a woman sleeping peacefully.

This woman is wearing a gown from the pre-Qing Dynasty, royal blue, embroidered with folded branches and begonias, the colors are gorgeous, and the petals of the begonias are blooming layer upon layer, which is very gorgeous.

Her hair was loose and hung low at the sides; A moon-white plain dress and a pair of royal blue sleeping shoes.

It's just that her face has been covered with a thick layer of ice, and only the outline can be seen, and in the snow-white crystal, you can vaguely see red lips and eyebrows, and her hands are wearing white fluffy gloves.

"This is my mother." The priest said.

Gu Qingzhou could guess.

When she looked at it, she didn't feel terrified, she secretly felt that it was Si Xingpei's relative.

is Si Xingpei's relative, so he won't harm her.

"In fact, inside the clothes, there is only flesh and blood made of white flour, and she has long since become white bones; The head is also made of white flour, and it is exactly the same as it was when he was born. Luckily, it's frozen, or you'll be scared. Si Xingpei's voice was gentle and slow, as if he was afraid of waking up the people in the crystal coffin.

Gu Qingzhou was actually not afraid at all.

Not only is she not afraid, but she is even a little warm: this is her mother, Si Xingpei's mother.

"Mother" is a very solemn and deep word, no matter where you go or who you put it on, it can exude warmth and kindness.

The face that was frozen was obviously just a white face with dry bones from the skull, and Gu Qingzhou could also see that it was kind.

If Gu Qingzhou also had her mother's bones, she would also want to be such a person, put it in this coffin, she couldn't touch it, but she seemed to be able to see her all the time.

She was just asleep.

"I was only three years old when she left, and by the time I could afford to build such a tomb for her, she had been rotting underground for more than ten years, but unfortunately she was so good that only white bones remained." The priest said.

Si Xingpei's mother is very beautiful, and on the few photos left, you can also see her peerless elegance, to the point of captivating the country and the city, Si Xingpei's appearance has inherited ninety percent of his mother.

If he had not been a soldier and had been pampered, he would have been more beautiful, more beautiful than all the people in the world. It's a pity that it's a little rough now, but of course it's still very handsome.

The world says that the current Overseer's wife, Cai Jingshu, is a stunning beauty, a beauty that is rare to see in a hundred years, but everyone knows that the old servants at home, including Si Xingpei's grandmother and aunt, all say: It's far away!

Whether it is appearance or character, it is far from the same.

Men are sometimes very cheap, and he often doesn't know what he has lost, just like Si Xingpei's father.

Of course, he didn't think it was his father—he had always called him an Overseer, like his boss.

Gu Qingzhou was silent.

"Do you think I'm perverted again?" Si Xingpei turned his head and asked Gu Qingzhou in a low voice, "I'm just for myself." Putting her bones in such a costume here, I have a concern in my heart, as if I have a mother."

"No, no change!" Gu Qingzhou's voice was buzzing, maybe it was too cold, and her teeth chattered when she spoke, "This is much more real than the photo, I like this!" ”

The corners of Si Xingpei's lips curled slightly, revealing a smile.

He put his arm around Gu Qingzhou's shoulders and led her to the front of the crystal coffin.

He said to the white-faced man in the coffin very seriously: "Mom, Qingzhou has come to see you." ”

Gu Qingzhou stood in front of him, motionless.

After a long time, Si Xingpei said again: "Qingzhou, you kowtow to my mother." ”

Gu Qingzhou said okay.

There is no futon on the ground, and a layer of ice.

Her palms were on the ground first, and she immediately froze stiff, and the cold currents on her knees flowed along her limbs, and she was so cold that she was about to freeze.

Gu Qingzhou kowtowed three times.

Si Xingpei helped her up.

Then he knelt down and kowtowed three times very reverently.

"Mom, in the future, I will bring a light boat to see you during the New Year's holidays, and you want to bless the light boat." Si Xingpei said in a low voice.

When they came out, Si Xingpei locked the door, and someone brought hot water to wash their hands.

With his hands soaked in hot water, his knuckles were slowly able to move, and Gu Qingzhou's body slowly warmed up.

Then, someone brought hot tea.

Gu Qingzhou drank two cups of hot boiling tea before he could breathe a sigh of relief.

"My mother loved cleanliness all her life, and when the servants talked about my wife, they said she was too clean. She must not be happy to let her suffer underground for so many years. Si Xingpei said, "I used to dream of her before, and she cried to me; It wasn't until I moved her here that she fell asleep and laughed. ”

Speaking of this, there was a very pure warmth on his face, like a child.

He had already told Gu Qingzhou his most important secrets.

Si Xingpei also asked Gu Qingzhou: "Do you miss your mother?" ”

"Honestly?" Gu Qingzhou asked with sideways eyes.

"It's the truth!"

"I was born prematurely, and my mother has not been in good health since I was born, so the first milk I took was given by my nurse Li's mother.

When I was only two years old, my mother died, and I don't remember anything, but Mother Li took me to the countryside. In fact, I never thought about my mother, because I did not lack maternal love, and Mother Li loved me very much.

In my heart, Mama Li is my mother. Mother Li said that she wanted the Gu family to repay the Sun family, and I was willing to go to the city. Si Xingpei, I am different from you, I am a person with a mother. Gu Qingzhou said.

Mama Li is her mother, at least in her heart.

They depend on each other for their lives.

Gu Qingzhou did these things, seemingly for the Sun family, for her biological mother, but in fact, for Mama Li.

Because Mama Li wants her to take revenge.

Of course, Gu Qingzhou also hated Gu Guizhang and Qin Zhengzheng, but without Mama Li, she would not be so desperate.

"Then bring your nurse to the city, and we'll take care of her." The priest said.

Gu Qingzhou shook his head: "Mother Li said that she didn't want to be a constraint. When it's over, she'll come back. ”

Si Xingpei didn't force her.

Seeing his secret, Si Xingpei and Gu Qingzhou stayed on the mountain for three days.

Si Xingpei took her to see all kinds of weapons, and even taught her how to use cannons.

The people in the institute were all respectful to Gu Qingzhou.

In such a confidential place, Gu Qingzhou is not an expert in weapons, and she is not a high-level in the army, she appears here, and she has only one identity: the future hostess!

They respected her very much, and you could see it in their eyes.

Gu Qingzhou could also guess their thoughts, which was a little embarrassing.

They stayed at night in the two houses at the foot of the mountain.

Si Xingpei slept on the outside, and Gu Qingzhou slept on the inside.

The next night, Gu Qingzhou listened to the wind whistling in the mountains and asked Si Xingpei, "Why do you want to tell me such an important secret?" There's always a reason. ”

"Because you saved my life, because you were by my side." Si Xingpei said, "I said that in the future, our lives will be shared, and everything I have is yours!" ”

Gu Qingzhou wanted to ask: Then will you marry me?

Then she thought that this kind of problem would increase his burden.

If he really wants to marry her, what qualifications does she have to be his wife?

Does she have enough money and background to provide him with troops and munitions to help him cross the Yangtze River and achieve the unification of China?

Was she vigilant enough to escape death from the hands of the Assassins again and again, so that he would not lose the power of his family and wife?

Is she really qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with him?

Love can be between you and me, but marriage needs to be evenly matched.

Thousands of years of "the right door" is not an empty word, but a truth derived from the test.

Gu Qingzhou didn't ask.

Or perhaps, just because she didn't love him, she didn't ask this state of mind.

She let the wind blow in her ears and sang softly all night.

She fell asleep, her sleepiness was relatively shallow, and she only remembered that Si Xingpei fished her twice, and every time she accidentally let go of her, he immediately woke up and held her firmly in his arms before he could continue to sleep.

His breath was warm and landed on the side of her face.

Gu Qingzhou tilted his head slightly, and he could kiss him on the lips. She wanted to soak up that warmth, especially on a cold winter night like this, but she held back.

She turned sideways and let him hold her from behind, and she curled herself into a ball.

Early in the morning of the third day, Si Xingpei cooked noodles for Gu Qingzhou to celebrate her birthday, although it had been two days since her birthday.

On the eighth day of the new year, I went to the base and went to see Si Xingpei's mother again, and they were both very tired.

When Si Xingpei was about to get up to cook noodles, he was stopped by Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou said: "The day after tomorrow is Christmas in the Western calendar, and we also have a fashionable festival and mix with my birthday." ”

Si Xingpei agreed.

"Light boat, long life!" He cooked the noodles and served them to Gu Qingzhou seriously.

He kneaded the noodles himself, made his hijab himself, and boiled the chicken soup last night.

Gu Qingzhou tasted it, it was delicious, the noodles were very strong, and the hijab was also sweet and delicious.

The taste of the people of Yuecheng is sweet, and the hijab made by Si Xingpei is always just right, no more than no less.

"Thank you!" Gu Qingzhou changed his squeamishness in the past, picked up the bowl of noodles, followed the example of Si Xingpei, and ate it in a big gulp.

Si Xingpei's smile reached deep into her eyes, gently touched her head, looked at her, and looked at her with satisfaction.
