Cai Changting went out in a hurry, but he was in a good mood when he came back.

Gu Qingzhou had dinner in front of Mrs. Hirano, and Shiro Hirano was at the station, and the two of them ate silently, only a little soft sound when the chopsticks touched the porcelain plate.

After dinner, Mrs. Hirano and Gu Qingzhou chatted, and Cai Changting came back at this time.

Counting the time, he went out exactly three hours.

"Madam, the plum blossoms you asked for have been picked." He said to Mrs. Hirano.

Soon, a servant brought in two large plum bottles and inserted two bright plums.

The plum branches are cut very artistically, sparsely reclining, and each has its own style.

The light fragrance of plum lingers in the house.

"Qingzhou, I also gave it to you, but it's just a small bottle, on the table." Cai Changting said.

Gu Qingzhou asked: "You went out so late, did you pick plum blossoms?"

Mrs. Hirano stood up, gently bypassed the plum bottle, picked a twig, and played with it in the palm of her hand.

The plum branch is tan, and her palm is as white as jade, and the color is eye-catching. The red plums dotted on the plum branches are even more beautiful and as bright as blood.

Mrs. Hirano raised her eyes and answered Gu Qingzhou's words for Cai Changting: "I ordered him to go."

They were both in a good mood.

Gu Qingzhou didn't know what to do, his expression was soft and quiet, and he was silent.

It always felt like they had done something.

However, what was going on and what it had to do with Gu Qingzhou, she couldn't guess for a while.

"The flowers are good." Mrs. Hirano said to Cai Changting with satisfaction, "Changting is neat and decisive. ”

Cai Changting thanked him.

It was getting late, and Mrs. Hirano yawned while saying that the plum blossoms were good and that she could paint tomorrow.

Gu Qingzhou got up and said goodbye.

Cai Changting still sent her.

On the way, Cai Changting talked about Lamei and told Gu Qingzhou a story.

"My plum is picked from the Chengxuguan next to the Sanqingguan outside the city, do you know that allusion?" Cai Changting asked her.

Gu Qingzhou said: "I haven't heard of Chengxuan."

"There is a plum forest in the void, which does not bloom in winter, and it will not bloom until around the tenth day of the first month, and it will be full of bloom overnight." Cai Changting said.

Gu Qingzhou asked: "Is it the special underground temperature over there that causes the delay in the blooming of the flowers?"

Cai Changting was stunned, and then laughed: "Qingzhou, you are really not romantic." I've said there are allusions, you have to be so pale. ”

Many beautiful legends will be a big disappointment when they have shed their gorgeous robes in front of science, revealing their original plain appearance.

Gu Qingzhou shrunk his hand into the pocket of his coat and said, "You go on, I just don't interrupt."

Cai Changting really took the above words.

He told Gu Qingzhou about the allusion.

The allusion is very cheesy, that is, the little thing between men and women, the man failed the woman, and the woman cursed the plum garden. On the tenth day of the first month of the first month of each year, when she dies, the soul of injustice comes out to cry blood, so the plum blossoms in the garden are in full bloom, and the cherry blossoms are red like blood.

Cai Changting said slowly, his voice was beautiful.

Gu Qingzhou listened and didn't say anything.

Cai Changting asked her: "If your husband also reneges his oath and finds a new love, will you be like that woman, and would rather be broken?"

Gu Qingzhou said: "No."

"Why?"

"My husband will not break his oath." She said.

Cai Changting: "......"

"Changting, you are vicious and vicious, how can you still believe this kind of allusion? Even the storyteller is embarrassed to mention this kind of vulgar passage. Gu Qingzhou said again.

Cai Changting smiled and finally spoke: "Do you think I'm ruthless?"

"Aren't you?"

"I'm not, but I'm honored to be so evaluated by you." Cai Changting said, "Qingzhou, love is beautiful, no matter how vulgar the story is, it has its beauty." ”

"You have this story, it is very permeating, where is it beautiful?" Gu Qingzhou asked him.

Does he like this kind of perverted love?

When it comes to love, Gu Qingzhou thinks of Ah Yu.

Cai Changting has ever been in love with Ah Yu? Gu Qingzhou couldn't judge that Cai Changting was a fan, and he was not tainted with tackiness.

Even if he said a vulgar story, it also had an otherworldly artistic conception, and Gu Qingzhou was a little jealous to belittle him.

Soon arrived at the gate of Gu Qingzhou's courtyard.

Gu Qingzhou subconsciously looked at the door of the lower courtyard.

I looked at it when I went out in the morning, and there were no flowers on the courtyard gate, but she thought about it too much.

Looking at it now, there will be no more.

Cai Changting's words today were clueless, making Gu Qingzhou unpredictable.

She waited and watched.

When she entered the door, Cai Changting kept sending her to the steps, and suddenly said, "That's good."

"What's better?"

"I can send you back, it's been a long time since I've done this, it's good." Cai Changting said.

Gu Qingzhou went to see him.

In his eyes that were refined to the extreme, there was a kind of arrogance that he was determined to achieve, but it was only for a moment.

The eyes are very complicated, and I am not a person I am very familiar with, and it is a bit difficult to capture very accurate information.

Cai Changting's eyes, Gu Qingzhou was puzzled, and when she looked over again, his smile was clean, without any flaws, like a very well-behaved and gentle brother.

Gu Qingzhou's heart was stunned.

"Thank you." Gu Qingzhou said.

"I'm happy to do so." Cai Changting said, "Qingzhou, we can't do without you, I am willing to do anything for you." ”

We

Gu Qingzhou smiled: "If you pin your hopes on others, you will be easily disappointed." Changting, I know that you will never be the only one, and you will never be separated from me. ”

As she spoke, she had already ascended the steps.

Cai Changting stepped back a step, so he raised his face slightly to see her face.

"It's hard to get your trust." Cai Changting seemed to summarize.

Gu Qingzhou was noncommittal.

She didn't say anything more, just said goodnight and went back to her room.

After going back, thinking carefully about Cai Changting's words, he always felt that he was misleading her, misleading her thinking and deviating from his purpose.

What the hell is going on?

Gu Qingzhou thought that Mrs. Hirano had just admitted her identity. Is it a public admission, not a specious obscurity, then they definitely need something.

"What's the secret behind it?" Gu Qingzhou became more and more curious.

She thought about it for a long time, but she didn't think about it.

Early the next morning, Gu Qingzhou went to see Ye Yu as usual, and then messed with Ye Yu.

Ye Dujun went home at noon and took a telegram to Gu Qingzhou.

"Si Xing Pei sent it." Ye Dujun said.

The telegram sent by Si Xingpei was in cipher, and the codebook was in the safe in his courtyard.

Gu Qingzhou said, "I'll go back first."

When I returned home, Erbao was not there, so I went to Kang's house to accompany Kang Han, and I heard that I lived in Kang's house.

The servants and adjutant guarded the door.

Gu Qingzhou went upstairs, found the code book, and began to decipher Si Xingpei's message.

The message was brief.

After Gu Qingzhou finished reading it, he frowned slightly, and thought, "Is this a ploy by Mrs. Hirano and Cai Changting?" Is their purpose just to separate me from Si Xingpei? ”

She didn't feel like it.

Gu Qingzhou pondered for a moment, read Si Xingpei's message repeatedly, and then went to Ye Dujun's side.

"Overseer, please help me get two telegrams back." Gu Qingzhou took the telegram and sent it to Ye Dujun.

One is on the surface, Gu Qingzhou wrote a simple five words: "Bring people to me."

And the other one, which is also a password.

The password was much more complicated, it was messy and long, and Ye Dujun couldn't understand it, so he nodded.

At the same time, he asked, "Who have you caught?"

"You'll find out soon." Gu Qingzhou said.

With that, she smiled mysteriously, smiling maliciously, making Ye Dujun frown.

At dusk, after Ye Dujun finished handling government affairs, he received a telegram from Si Xingpei.

There is also a secret exchange of information between him and Si Xingpei, so they also have a code book.

Si Xingpei wrote a telegram to him with a code, and the matter was very serious, and Ye Dujun immediately went to investigate.

After finding out the telegram and reading the contents, Ye Dujun wanted to scold his mother.

It just so happened that Gu Qingzhou was still on Ye Yu's side.

Ye Dujun sent someone to call Gu Qingzhou over and asked her, "Is it your idea?" You two are so bold that you don't take my life seriously? ”

"Overseer, there will be no danger, don't worry." Gu Qingzhou said.

Ye Dujun wanted to smack her.

It's time to move a gun, how can there be no danger?

"Tell me honestly, who do you want Si Xingpei to bring over? Make it clear, otherwise I won't cooperate with you, and you will play by yourself. Ye Dujun said fiercely.

Gu Qingzhou was embarrassed.

Ye Dujun stood up and called the adjutant to see off the guest.

Gu Qingzhou said: "Overseer, we just ask you to do a small favor."

"You're busy." Ye Dujun said.

Gu Qingzhou had no choice but to tell him truthfully.

Ye Dujun felt that they were making a big fuss, and even putting the cart before the horse. Since he has caught someone in his hand, he can be tortured and interrogated by himself, why do you have to involve Ye Dujun?

Doing so is dangerous and may outweigh the losses.

"Overseer, please do me a favor." Gu Qingzhou said.

Ye Dujun has a request for Gu Qingzhou, and his own body still depends on Gu Qingzhou's medicine.

And Gu Qingzhou also said that his illness was not overnight, the medication was long-lasting, and he had to beg Gu Qingzhou for a long time.

He had no choice but to say, "Okay, you can tell me how to prepare."

Gu Qingzhou smiled and told Ye Dujun about the plan one by one, and at the same time, she also told Ye Dujun that this was not her idea, but Si Xingpei's.

They talked for a while, and Gu Qingzhou went back.

Returning to Shiro Hirano's mansion, Gu Qingzhou connected everything before and after thinking about it, and always felt that there were shortcomings.

It must be a minus or something - somewhere, somewhere.

However, she thought of everything she should have thought about, where is it missing?

"Si Xingpei, it would be good if you came back, I can still discuss it with you." Gu Qingzhou sighed.

This question bothered her and kept her awake all night.

In a blink of an eye, after four or five days, it was the Lantern Festival.

The night of the Lantern Festival was very lively, but Gu Qingzhou went to bed early.

At dusk on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Gu Qingzhou received a call.

The call was made by a dog.

"Come back, ma'am. The division is back, and he brought someone with him! The dog's voice was nervous, full of hatred for the person brought back by the master.

The servants in the family all call Si Xingpei the teacher's seat, and the dog is also as good as a stream. It's just that in his heart, he is his wife's servant, not a teacher's.

Therefore, he was obliged to give a message to his wife.

Gu Qingzhou hung up the phone, and loudly ordered the servant to prepare the car, and without saying hello to Mrs. Hirano and Cai Changting, he returned to Si Xingpei's courtyard.
