On the phone, it was the voice of the company.

This voice often comforted Gu Qingzhou when she dreamed back at midnight, but it was so harsh to hear at the moment.

Si Fangfei's sudden call, such a coincidence, what the purpose is is self-evident.

Gu Qingzhou was already suspected by Si Fangfei.

The crescent moon is like a hook, surrounded by stars, setting off the inky night dome.

The wind blowing into the house, as well as the residual fragrance of the wood, also added a coolness.

Gu Qingzhou put down his shawl.

"Do you know who the Overseers will recommend to succeed the new mayor?" Si Xingpei said on the phone.

This is the secret that Si Xingpei wants to tell Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou wanted to know that this matter was also about Yue Cheng, but she was in no mood now.

She put the microphone to her ear and tilted her head to tuck the long tassel from her shawl.

She broke up the tassel one by one, and then knotted it again, and gently responded to Si Xingpei's words, at most, there was a "um" sound, and nothing else.

In front of her eyes, Si Fangfei's face always flashed, and she relied on Si Xingpei to be coquettish.

Gu Qingzhou understood at this time how Si Xingpei ate her and Gu Shao's vinegar at the beginning.

However, she felt that Si Xingpei was perverted at that time, and she still feels that eating this kind of vinegar is not on the table.

Gu Qingzhou is a little persistent in her bones, she always knows what she can't do and what she can't say.

She doesn't express that vinegar.

"It's He Mingxuan. I got the information that the Overseers had elected He Mingxuan as the successor mayor, and the document was sent to the Political Department, and it was approved. Si Xingpei said.

Gu Qingzhou came back to his senses and asked rhetorically: "He Mingxuan, the chief minister of the Yuecheng Ministry of Finance?" ”

Si Xingpei smiled: "Do you remember him? ”

Gu Qingzhou's willow eyebrows frowned slightly.

She didn't remember He Mingxuan, but He Mingxuan's daughter He Chenru.

At the beginning of the year, the rebel general Zhou Chengyu teamed up with the Germans to kill Si Mu and was executed by Si Mu, but Zhou Chengyu's lover He Chenru sought revenge on Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou rebelled against the army and asked He Chenru's husband and father-in-law to come to see her ghostly appearance, and by the way, he also found He Chenru's father, He Mingxuan, and asked him to see his daughter's gaffe.

That day, Gu Qingzhou met He Mingxuan.

Later, He Chenru's whereabouts were unknown.

"I remember." Gu Qingzhou said lightly, "He is in his sixties, can he still take on this heavy responsibility?" ”

The Overseer's transfer of Yuecheng's finances to He Mingxuan shows the importance they hold on him.

This time it was also a temporary replacement, and it was a very important position, and the public opinion in Yuecheng was so turbulent that the people would worry about whether other people would also endanger their survival.

In this situation, there is a need for a person of high moral integrity and a person who can be trusted by the people.

"He Mingxuan is old, and he has a good reputation in Yuecheng, and he is serious! What the Overseers want now is not a mayor who can do great things, but a mayor who can stabilize people's hearts, and no one is more suitable than He Mingxuan. Si Xingpei said.

He Mingxuan's age is enough to calm the people's worries.

Gu Qingzhou thought about He Chenru's whereabouts, and didn't know what the situation was with her and the He family.

Her mind moved slightly, her emotions were hidden in her eyes, and she didn't say anything more.

"I see, good night." Gu Qingzhou said.

Si Xingpei held the phone and refused to let go: "Qingzhou, do you have something to hide from me?" Yue Cheng didn't do half of the damage, on the contrary, you earned a good reputation, you should be happy, but you are in a very bad mood. ”

Gu Qingzhou's breath was blocked in his chest, and he couldn't go up or down.

After a moment of silence, she said, "I miss my loved ones." My nurse, my master"

Si Xingpei held his breath.

Gu Qingzhou's mood was a little damp. Sadness was like a tide, and it surged up all of a sudden, drowning Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpei.

"Good night." She said.

"Good night on the boat." Si Xingpei didn't insist this time.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Qingzhou's mood did not improve.

She took Mulan and Dusk Mountain out for a walk, walked a long way, and walked to the door of the Yan Mansion, but did not enter; When she came back, she passed by Yan Luoshui's house and heard the sound of the piano and the laughter of Yan Luoshui's family, but she didn't bother.

After taking a bath and lying down, Gu Qingzhou had a dream.

She dreamed of one night. The weather is cold, and the wind carries the cold rain and pours it on people.

Gu Qingzhou was very cold and kept stomping his feet.

Her hands and feet are small, and when she looks down, she can see her small red leather shoes and milky white rainproof cloak, which are particularly bright.

There is a shop not far away.

The shop was lit with dim lights, and the orange lights diluted the night, as if a warm brocade was scattered down; The shop is a chintz curtain, and a white mist comes out, mixed with the fragrance of red beans.

"I want to eat red bean cake." Gu Qingzhou said so.

A delicate white hand stuffed a handful of banknotes into her.

She raised her head to see the face of the woman who had given her money, but she was too small and at night to see anything.

She stepped on the waterlogged ground and happily ran to the shop.

Holding the hot red bean cake, she stood under the eaves and ate it.

Warm currents, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her whole body was warm.

On the steps under the eaves, there sat a boy, who looked to be in his teens, very beautiful and handsome, more delicate than the person in the painting.

He sat there alone and smoked.

His brow furrowed, and his eyes seemed to be frosty.

He looked so sad that he was about to cry.

Gu Qingzhou stepped forward, pointed to his eyebrows, and asked him, "Why don't you cry?" ”

In the distance, someone called out to her: "Light boat? ”

Gu Qingzhou responded crisply: "It's here." He hurried away.

When he woke up, Gu Qingzhou still remembered the taste of the red bean cake.

And the boy in the dream is Si Xingpei.

Gu Qingzhou rubbed his head: "It's so funny, I can actually imagine what Si Xingpei looked like when he was a child!" ”

The dream was clear.

It was so clear that she remembered the taste of the red bean cake, remembered that she poked Si Xingpei's eyebrows, and his eyebrows were cold, and even remembered that Si Xingpei spit out her face of smoke impatiently.

At that time, Si Xingpei was sitting under the eaves and smoking.

At the age of fourteen or fifteen, he was even more handsome than he is now, almost evil.

A light smoke poured from his lips, covering his brow.

He was very sad at the time.

"When you talked to him on the phone last night, you dreamed of him, right?" Gu Qingzhou thought.

She pondered for a long time.

At this time, the adjutant came in and said, "Young lady, the young marshal is back." ”

Gu Qingzhou stood up suddenly.

Simu is back?

How could he come back?

Inexplicably, he panicked in his heart, thinking that he shot himself, Gu Qingzhou's heart couldn't settle down.

She took a few deep breaths and suddenly asked, "Which young marshal?" ”

"Big young marshal." Adjutant Tang Pingdao.

Gu Qingzhou glanced at him.

Tang Ping lowered his head.

It's Si Xingpei who is here.

Gu Qingzhou patted his chest lightly, and said to Tang Ping: "Let him wait in the conference hall, and don't allow him to enter the inner courtyard." ”

Tang Pingdao is.

Gu Qingzhou went upstairs again, combed a low bun, brought a red gold hairpin, changed into a goose-yellow shirt and moon-white skirt, and then walked out.

When Si Xingpei saw her, he felt that she was like a young grandmother in the previous dynasty.

The red gold hairpin, shining with golden light, and she was wearing a goose-yellow diagonal shirt embroidered with begonia flowers, which looked like a blooming spring flower.

Si Xingpei walked over: "This dress looks good today." ”

Gu Qingzhou bowed slightly, and said in a low voice: "This is the new mansion of the Si Mansion. ”

She raised her eyes and looked at Si Xingpei.

He was supposed to have hurried back on a plane at dawn.

When I came back before, I always called her to go to his annex, but this time I actually broke into her home.

Her bad mood last night must have worried him.

In Gu Qingzhou's heart, there was a little guilt and unbearability, and she didn't plan to toss.

But one's own feelings are often uncontrollable, and reason cannot overcome them.

"Came back to see me?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Si Xingpei stretched out his hand and pinched her face: "When did I come back and didn't come to see you on purpose?" ”

Gu Qingzhou frowned and dodged back: "Be careful!" ”

"What are you afraid of, you have divorced Si Mu, I touch you upright!" The priest said.

Gu Qingzhou's expression changed suddenly.

Seeing that she was annoyed, he reined in a little and said, "Okay, don't make trouble." ”

He also took two steps back.

As if angry, they were far apart, looking at each other.

Gu Qingzhou's eyebrows were sharp, as if a blade had flashed.

"Are you okay?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Si Xingpei said: "Of course I have something. ”

With that, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Gu Qingzhou.

Say it's paper, it's more like a photo.

The photo is torn off in a piece, very small and can only accommodate the figure of one person.

"Give." The priest said.

Gu Qingzhou took it.

Sure enough, it was a photo.

Black and white photo, the traces on the photo have turned white. She saw a man, of medium stature, with large, dull eyes that looked lazy and squinting.

This person is her master!

"You!" Gu Qingzhou stood up suddenly, "What about the whole photo?" ”

Si Xingpei smiled: "The whole photo? If you want it, I'll give it to you? ”

"Si Xingpei!" Gu Qingzhou gritted her teeth, and anger burst out from between her teeth.

She resembles a fried cat.

Si Xingpei stepped forward, hugged her in his arms, and said, "Don't let me touch it?" There is a time when you beg me! ”

Gu Qingzhou pushed her hard, she was anxious and angry, and her voice suddenly rose: "You think this is a joke?" ”

Si Xingpei also found out, and she was so angry that her body trembled slightly.

Her lips kept trembling, and her face turned pale in an instant. She stared at him, there seemed to be gloom in her dark eyes, a little cruel and ghostly: "Give me the whole picture!" ”

She was emotional.

Si Xingpei was also upright: "That's how you begged me?" ”

"Si Xingpei, don't be too desperate in your work." Gu Qingzhou's voice trembled slightly, "Do you want us to settle all the old accounts, or do you answer my questions honestly?" ”

The pain of her heart and gallbladder pierced Si Xingpei's heart.

Si Xingpei took out the remaining photos from his arms and handed them to her.

"Take it." He said.

Gu Qingzhou snatched it over.

She couldn't wait to get his master up.

A complete photograph was presented in front of her.
