Chapter 20: Start

Warm, there is movement in the courtyard of Mingxin Pavilion. Agarwood was the earliest, she was Gu Mingxiu's personal maid, and she didn't have much work to do. I couldn't help but stand quietly outside the door, watching the maid sweep the yard with a broom.

Mu Lan was fiddling with the Momei they had brought back, and with great interest, she took the scissors and cut off the extra shoots. Early in the morning, she sent Momei to Mrs. Gu and An Li's yard with a few other ladies, and Shuangxi also praised a few words, thinking that the old lady should also like it.

Gu Qingyuan didn't like flowers, and Dong Qing didn't like plum blossoms, so neither of these people's yards was sent.

It's still early, and there is no need to say goodbye, Gu Mingxiu has not woken up yet.

When Miao Lan had almost trimmed the plum blossom branches, and pulled the agarwood with a smile to ask if it looked good, Gu Liyi walked in from the door slowly with Lingqiao.

Seeing the two of them, Mu Lan couldn't help but put down the things in her hand in surprise, and immediately saw Ling Qiao smiling and shouting softly at her, she glanced at her with a smile, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Gu Liyi on the side dragging her steps, the expression on her face was not very good, and she looked reluctant, as if she was forced.

Mu Lan pursed her lips, reluctantly stood up and blessed her body: "Fifth Miss, our girl hasn't woken up yet." ”

Snorting softly, Gu Liyi turned his head and muttered, "I'm not awake yet, what do you look like." The second sister has been up a long time ago, and she has read a chapter of the book. ”

Looking at Gu Liyi with a frown, Miao Lan raised her head. Gu Liyi's voice was not soft, and it became clearer and clearer in the quiet courtyard, and the servants on the side couldn't help but raise their heads and look over. Mu Lan glared at the past and whispered, "Do your job!" What to see! ”

The crowd immediately scattered like birds and beasts, bowing their heads and not daring to look at it again. Mu Lan also looks younger, smiling all day long thinking that she has no temper, and she is a bully, and she only knows how powerful this girl is when she is punished.

Turning his head and looking at Gu Liyi amicably, Miao Lan said: "The girl always wakes up late, it's not as good as the fifth miss....." Mu Lan paused, curled her lips and smiled sweetly, "Come in first and sit down, the slave will go and say goodbye." ”

Mu Lan originally heard the news from others, saying that Miss Wu was at odds with her own girl, but she didn't see it with her own eyes. Today, I saw Miss Five, but I saw the impatience on people's faces, and I was a little unhappy in my heart. She originally wanted to say that she would let Gu Liyi go back first, but when she turned her head and thought about how much her girl loved this sister, now Gu Liyi was willing to come to the girl's yard voluntarily, no matter what it was for, it would always make the girl happy, and she couldn't help but change her words, and her attitude was a little better.

Hearing this, Gu Liyi looked a little hesitant: "Then how long will I wait.....

Before Mulan could react, there was a sound of brisk footsteps behind her. Turning the screen, Mo Zhu appeared at the door, blessed his body with a smile, looked at Gu Liyi and said, "The fourth girl has woken up, please come with me." ”

Gu Liyi wrinkled her nose, sighed, and walked the steps to follow Mo Zhu into the inner room, and Ling Qian stayed at the door to accompany Miao Lan and the others.

"Miss Five, what do you mean by that?" Mu Lan took Ling Qiao's hand, quite unhappy.

Ling Qiao touched his nose and was a little embarrassed: "It's for the red plum in the early morning, and I came to thank the fourth lady." ”

"Where does she look like she's thanking her?" Mu Lan pulled her to sit down under the porch and whispered, "It looks like someone else forced her to thank her." If you don't thank you, you won't thank you, is this look like you're angry with my girl. ”

Ling Qiao frowned and didn't speak, and Agarwood suddenly spoke: "Mulan, if you say too much, you will lose." ”

Subconsciously turned his head to look, but saw that Agarwood's eyes fell directly on the few maids who were cleaning the yard, and he couldn't see any mood. Miao Lan blinked, Ling Qian glanced at the agarwood gratefully, then took Mu Lan's hand and nodded approvingly: "My girl taught me that the wall has ears." Mulan, talk in this house, but be careful. ”

Mo Zhu led Gu Liyi to the door and stopped: "The girl is waiting for you inside, the slave and maid are waiting outside the door, if you have any orders, just call the slave and maid." She raised her head to look at Gu Liyi, who was a little impatient, and smiled slightly, "No one in the inner room can enter, and there is agarwood guarding outside, Fifth Miss, you can rest assured." ”

A little embarrassment appeared on her face, Gu Liyi relaxed her expression, smiled at her, and pushed the door in.

There was a small stove burning in the room, and it was quite warm. The girl leaned back on the couch and casually flipped through a scroll. She had long eyelashes and a serene expression. Today, only a simple bun hung loosely on his shoulders, and a step was swayed diagonally, and the rest of his long hair was softly draped over his shoulders.

She wore a soft plush jacket in a long white dress and an embroidered coat, and her posture was lazy and elegant.

Gu Liyi smiled, took two steps forward and threw herself into her arms, and the book was also pressed between the two: "Sister Xiu, I think you are getting better and better." ”

"Did you eat candied fruit today?" Gu Mingxiu patted her back with a smile and asked casually, "Did Gu Changge ask you to come?" ”

Buried in her arms and didn't get up, Gu Liyi nodded: "Not long after Sister Xiu sent Hongmei, Gu Xiaodie came to look for me." At that time, I was still angry and said that I was going to throw the flowers, and she persuaded me for a while, so I pretended to be embarrassed and accepted it. ”

Leaning on Gu Mingxiu to get up, Gu Liyi met her gentle eyes: "Later, we went to see Gu Changge together, she said that you just wanted to send me one person by sending flowers, and by the way, you just sent them, let me come and say thank you to you." It seemed that she had thought of something, Gu Liyi's expression suddenly became a little cold, and she smiled coldly, "It's very nice to say, don't want to blow your affection, make you sad, let me coax you more, but the words are all provocative." ”

She clenched her fists, a little indignant: "In my last life, I misbelieved their nonsense like this, and this is how I coaxed you, but behind my back, I pinched me to threaten you and teach you to be in a dangerous place. ”

Raising his hand and gently touching the top of Gu Liyi's hair, Gu Mingxiu smiled casually: "But it's not wrong, the flowers just want to give them to you, and they will give them easily, but it's because the old lady still has to do the whole play." ”

As if remembering something, Gu Li looked at Gu Mingxiu fixedly, and stretched out his hand to hold her: "Sister Xiu, my father doesn't like us like that....what should I do?" Haven't we sent a message to our grandfather? ”

"Silly girl, don't worry." Gu Mingxiu smiled and rubbed the top of her head soothingly.

Her expression did not change, her eyes were slightly gloomy, and she was a little distant: "The chess game is all set, Gu Qingyuan has already stepped in, and the game will be over after a while." ”

Gu Liyi tilted his head, looking like he didn't quite understand.

After chattering for a while, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and Mo Zhu was respectful: "Girl." ”

"Really?"

Gu Xiaodie turned her head to look at the kneeling person below with a smile and asked her, "Is that really what Gu Liyi said?" ”

"The slave and maid are close, and they hear it really." The maid lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Miss Fifth doesn't like Miss Fourth very much, and the maid next to Miss Fourth Mu Lan doesn't want to see Miss Fifth when she looks at it." ”

Nodding with satisfaction, Gu Xiaodie turned her head to look at the person who was concentrating on embroidery on the side: "On weekdays, there is no drama for Gu Liyi to see, she can speak for the second sister, and it is not bad to add to the fourth sister." ”

Gu Changge smiled slightly, and concentrated on embroidering the picture under his hand: "The fourth sister's maid is less educated in the house, and if she dares to be disrespectful to the young lady, she will definitely be punished if she changes people." She carefully looked at the flowers under her hand, and said, "It's just that the maid is also the protector, but she is loyal, and she can't bear to be told the slightest bad word about her master." ”

Raising his head to look at Gu Xiaodie, who was confused, Gu Changge sighed and taught gently: "Such a maid, if she touches a master who doesn't think about herself, she will bite back." ”

Gu Xiaodie nodded and laughed happily: "Xiaodie knows." ”

While he was talking, the little maid in the porter knocked on the door and walked in, and after saluting, she handed over the greeting post in her hand: "Second Miss, this is the entry post sent by Yilan Garden." ”

Seeing the red post, Gu Changge's eyes overflowed with a little tenderness: "At that time, prepare an extra carriage, the fourth sister doesn't know about the activities in Yangzhou, and invite her to take a look together, it's good to relieve boredom." ”

When the maid heard this, she did not hesitate at all: "Miss Four's post has been sent, and she said that she will go to the appointment then." ”

After a pause, several people in the room stopped together. Gu Changge's smile froze, and he said sensitively: "What post?" ”

"Yilan Garden's post." The maid said.

Gu Xiaodie smashed everything in his hand, opened his eyes wide and said, "Impossible!" It took the second sister three years to get the top spot, and Gu Mingxiu only came back for a few days, how could it be?! Are you mistaken?! ”

The maid was startled, glanced at the two young ladies who were not quite right, and said respectfully: "It is indeed a post from Yilan Garden, and the post of the fourth lady is not a post, it is a plum blossom post." ”

Dong Qing, who had just entered the door behind him, suddenly paused.

Fingertips stroked a hollow plum blossom on the pale white post, Gu Liyi said in surprise: "Sister embroidery!" It turned out to be a plum blossom post, and Gu Changge would definitely be angry when he heard it. ”

Gu Mingxiu bent his eyes, stared at the post, smiled a little carelessly, with a little certainty: "It's not going to be angry, but if you want me to die, it will definitely be." ”

Hearing this, Gu Liyi turned his head to look at Gu Mingxiu.

Her gaze swept through the air and fell into the abyss, so deep that people couldn't see anything, as if they were wrapped in a fog, but with a little cold smile, which made people inexplicably a little frightened.

Just as Gu Mingxiu thought, at two o'clock in the night, the maid's low scream resounded throughout the entire Mingxin Pavilion, waking everyone up. As if he was prepared, the neatly dressed Gu Changge led the people to come in a hurry, and the sleepy-eyed Gu Mingxiu frowned and got up, and was hugged into a teasing embrace.

"Beauty, you can't escape."
