Chapter 55, Mother

Dongxi is driving, Xiaofeng is blowing in the forest.

Mo Zhu instructed the maid to clean up the yard quietly, and explained some things, and then turned his head to look at the agarwood guarding the door, a little unclear. There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Mo Zhu immediately turned around, hurriedly stepped forward to support the little girl who went out, and said softly: "Girl, why did you get up so early?" ”

"Miss Shen made an appointment to meet in the east of the city today, and the girl is going out." Mulan pursed her lips and smiled.

Gu Mingxiu bowed his head, casually looked at the people who were busy working around, and said lightly: "Mozhu, go and prepare, and when you come back from your mother's greeting, you will go out directly." ”

"Yes, don't worry, girl." Mozhu nodded, turned around and headed inside.

Agarwood was guarding the door, and when she saw Gu Mingxiu and Mo Zhu finish speaking, she came over and whispered something in her ear. His eyes were slightly cold, and Gu Mingxiu sneered: "I know what they must do, but I don't want to fight this idea." ”

"Girl, how?" Agarwood asked.

"Hold still." The corners of Gu Mingxiu's lips were slightly raised, a little careless and lazy, and after a little deep groaning, she commanded softly, "You delay this matter, and be sure to let them find someone a few days before the palace banquet." Don't worry too much about other things, small actions are up to them, only people can't let them find them before. ”

Agarwood was a little puzzled, but didn't ask, just nodded: "Yes." ”

Mu Lan stood aside, and when she saw that the two of them had finished speaking, she accompanied Gu Mingxiu out of the door to An Li's courtyard. She helped Gu Mingxiu, biting her lip with a little tangled.

"What's wrong?" Gu Mingxiu said lightly.

"It's nothing...."Mu Lan hesitated for a while, secretly glanced at Gu Mingxiu's face, and said, "Girl, what are you planning, never let the slave know, the slave is a little worried..."

That's not what Muran really worries about. She and Mozhu have accompanied Gu Mingxiu since childhood, and they can be regarded as knowing their own girls, but since they returned home, they feel that their own girls have become more and more impenetrable. After having agarwood, among the three people, agarwood is the most valued by the girl, and many things are handed over to agarwood to do.

Mozhu also has to be explained by the girl, and she is doing something secretly, but she is rarely explained by the girl, and she always feels....There is a feeling of emptiness.

Miao Lan didn't say it, but it didn't mean that Gu Mingxiu didn't understand: "Agarwood knows martial arts, and I also know that disaster comes from the mouth, and I am most at ease when she does things." Mozhu is steady and knows the weight. You're the only one....I'm still like a child, and it's hard to entrust you with a heavy responsibility, can't you take care of me? ”

"That's not what slave means."

Miao Lan was a little anxious and was about to explain, but saw Gu Mingxiu stop, looked ahead, and said softly: "Second sister." ”

"Fourth sister." Gu Changge replied softly, she slowly got up from the small table, and said softly, "Fourth sister, are you going to see your mother?" ”

Gu Mingxiu smiled slightly: "After all, the second sister is authorized by her mother, so she doesn't have to go to ask for peace every day." Siniang is not as easy as the second sister, she has to go to her mother to say goodbye during the day, and she has to accompany her grandmother to chant at night. ”

It's okay not to say anything, but as soon as Gu Changge's smile came out, he unconsciously froze on his face.

said that it was a concession, but it was clear that An Li didn't want to see her, and his cold tone exempted her from coming to ask for An, but he said something so as not to make her feel wronged and make the master unhappy. Grandmother too, Gu Changge volunteered to accompany the chanting, but Mrs. Gu said that she was impetuous and not suitable for the Buddhist hall, and also rejected her request.

When was she treated like this? Gu Mingxiu is clearly not the bloodline of the Gu family, but she dares to press her everywhere here.

Gu Changge forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and the smile on his face couldn't be maintained: "Yes, I know that the fourth sister is hard, so I won't take up your time, if I ask for peace for a while, maybe my mother will say that mine is not." That's it, I'll go first. ”

After that, without waiting for Gu Mingxiu to answer, he hurriedly got up and left.

Staring at the other party's figure, Gu Mingxiu sighed lightly, and Tong Miao Lan did not stay long.

An Li watered the flowers at the gate of the yard, accompanied by Gu Qingyue, who didn't like to talk much. The little girl who is silent on weekdays is accompanying An Li and doesn't know what she is talking about, and she smiles slightly.

Gu Mingxiu stood at the door for a while before calling softly, "Mother." After the two of them looked over, she smiled slightly at Gu Qingyue, who was a little uneasy and withdrew her smile, "Third sister." ”

"Fourth sister." Gu Qingyue narrowed her eyes and said softly.

An Li put down the things in his hand, called Gu Mingxiu into the door with a smile, and asked softly, "Have you ever had breakfast?" ”

"Not yet, I'm not hungry yet." Gu Mingxiu replied.

"Mo'er, go make some food." An Li ordered, pulled Gu Mingxiu to the room, and said with a smile, "That's a coincidence, Qingyue and I haven't eaten yet, it just so happens that we eat together." I don't see you on weekdays, and I don't know if you have eaten well, and the girl in your yard is with you, and she doesn't tell me the truth. ”

Gu Mingxiu said: "Haven't I been doing well these days, I haven't invited a doctor, so my mother doesn't have to worry too much." She raised her eyes to look directly at An Li's eyes, and said lightly, "It's my mother, I heard Mo'er say that my mother hasn't eaten well for several days, and she wanted to wait for her father to eat together, but her father always doesn't come." ”

She said calmly, but Gu Qingyue, who was on the side, was slightly stunned, and then lowered her eyes to look at the tips of her shoes without saying a word.

"That was a few days ago." An Li smiled reluctantly, his eyes fell on Gu Mingxiu's face and paused, he reached out to touch Gu Mingxiu's cheek, and said softly, "Xiu'er, you....what do you think of your father?" As if thinking of something, she added, "You don't have to care about what your mother said before, and you don't have to care about the others, just tell the truth." ”

Gu Mingxiu thought for a while: "I have no opinion on my father. ”

An Li was stunned: "That's your father..... he hasn't come to see you for several years, and now it's not good for you, you... Don't you complain? ”

Mo'er had already ordered someone to put the food on the table, Gu Mingxiu turned her head to look at the steaming millet porridge on the table, and her face didn't care: "Xiu'er is weak, maybe she will leave her mother when she will——"

Before he finished speaking, the back of his hand was patted, and the force was not small.

Gu Mingxiu met An Li's slightly angry gaze, tilted his head and smiled lightly: "Mother, I'm not wrong." Even though I am strong enough to live to be 100 years old, I don't have a big opinion on my father. Although I am of the same blood as him, I am not taught by him, raised by him, or wished by him, but I am like a stranger. Besides, this life is so short, if I have the heart to travel all over the world and like the people I like, why waste time and emotions on people who don't care? ”

So everyone else doesn't care, only the Gu family can't forget each other. Don't resent or hate, just because they are bound to die, and now they are planning to pave the way for them, so why care?

What you really can't care about should be your mother's kiss.

Gu Mingxiu scooped up a small bowl of rice porridge and said lightly: "I don't care about my father, and I won't let my father give me grievances and sadness." I don't accept any of this, and as far as I'm concerned, I only have my mother. ”

When An Li heard this, he was stunned for a while, looking at Gu Mingxiu, who was concentrating on eating millet porridge, and some complicated emotions appeared in his eyes. Gu Qingyue was also eating half a bowl of millet porridge, and she didn't look at them from beginning to end, nor did she make a sound, as if she didn't hear them speak at all.

It's just that the long eyelashes hanging down can't help but tremble slightly.

After eating breakfast, Gu Qingyue first said goodbye and left, and Gu Mingxiu was interrogated for a moment before being released. An Li sent her to the door, looked at her with some hesitation, and didn't speak for a long time.

Gu Mingxiu looked up at An Li, and asked softly: "Mother, I don't like my father, will you be angry with Xiu'er, and don't you like Xiu'er anymore?" ”

An Li was stunned, and hurriedly smiled, and rubbed the top of Gu Mingxiu's hair: "No, it's just...." She paused, didn't say anything after all, and said softly, "Didn't Xiu'er make an appointment with someone, go quickly, pay attention to safety." ”

Gu Mingxiu nodded and took his leave.

An Li looked at Gu Mingxiu's departing back, and stood at the door for a long time, his expression was very complicated.

Mo'er saw that she had been standing, and she didn't know why: "Madam? ”

"Mo'er, you say ....." An Li's voice was a little confused and uncertain, his eyes were a little stunned, and he didn't know where to look, "I came back with Xiu'er, did I do something wrong?" They... It didn't seem very glad that we were back. ”

With a wry smile, An Li shook his head: "After returning home, there are always many inexplicable things happening around Xiu'er. Xiu'er's temperament... It's not as unrestrained as in Chongming Temple, but it's a different person, and it's not particularly smiling.. It's always not as happy as I used to laugh. ”

"Sometimes I see her laughing, but I don't think she's really laughing. The boy had obviously a lot on his mind, but he wouldn't tell me any more. ”

In the end, his own child knows best, although Gu Mingxiu's temperament is relatively cold, but after returning home, it became very sudden, which made An Li a little confused, and the reason that could be found was only related to Gu Qingyuan.

An Li let out a long sigh, a little confused: "I took Xiu'er back to the house, but let her meet such a father....The master doesn't like Xiu'er, why doesn't he like it, but he never wants to talk to me." ”

"Ma'am, don't think about it." Mo'er helped An Li and couldn't help but speak, "Fourth Miss is very smart, she probably doesn't want you to worry." ”

An Li sighed again and didn't say anything more.

Gu Mingxiu and Mu Lan walked out of the house, and before they reached the gate, they were stopped.

It was not someone else who stopped her, but the two masters and servants of Gu Qingyue, who had already left and said goodbye early.

"Third sister, have been waiting for me for a long time."

Gu Mingxiu stopped in place, looking at the uneasy Gu Qingyue and smiling slightly, not surprised at all.

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
