Chapter Seventy-Eight, Joining the Army
The warm sun is falling.
Qiao Wu sat in front of the window, only feeling cold in his heart. He clenched the cup in his hand tightly, and looked at the Gu Liyi sisters who were sitting idly with great grievance: "If your grandfather really cut me, you must remember to collect my body." ”
"I will also offer you three sticks of incense a day." Gu Mingxiu wrote lightly.
Gu Liyi was sending the tea to his mouth, and the happy fetus raised his eyes to look at Qiao Wu. Facing the other party's complaining and miserable, like an abandoned woman's eyes, she couldn't help choking out a mouthful of tea, coughed and turned her head and said, "Ahem, ahem, you..." My grandfather was very busy, and I'm afraid it was—"
Before he could finish a sentence, there was a knock on the door. After receiving the answer, Mo Zhu pushed the door in, saluted respectfully, and said softly: "Girl, the general heard that Gongzi Qiao helped him, and he was grateful in his heart, so he specially invited Gongzi Qiao to go to the study to see him." ”
Gu Liyi: "........" She was silent for a moment and waved her hand, "Grandfather shouldn't be too embarrassed for you." ”
Qiao glanced at her without complaint, and got up and straightened her clothes sadly. He took a step and suddenly looked back, looking at Gu Liyi pitifully: "Your grandfather's study....can't really have a sword, right?" ”
was laughed at by the other party, Gu Liyi sighed: "That's it, look at you like this." Sister embroidery, I'll accompany him on a trip. The latter sentence was said to Gu Mingxiu.
With her head bowed, she watched the two of them go out before she looked at Mo Zhu on the side: "You have something to say?" ”
Mo Zhu nodded: "The gift that the girl asked the slave maid to send to King Xiao's Mansion was returned by His Royal Highness King Xiao. She paused, and then said, "The slave maid has never seen His Royal Highness King Xiao, it was the housekeeper of King Xiao's Mansion who came out to say back." Originally, he received the gift, but later he caught up with the slave and the maid and retreated. ”
Looking at Gu Mingxiu's expression, Mo Zhu said softly: "The slave maid did reply according to the girl's words, but the man said....He said that His Royal Highness King Xiao said, but the girl's gift giver did not come to the door to thank him personally, and the sincerity was insufficient, so it was okay not to accept this gift." ”
Gu Mingxiu took a sip of tea slowly, and his lips were wet with tea, revealing a faint pink. She pursed her lips slightly, and a smile appeared on her face. She didn't speak, but thought thoughtfully about what was going on, until Mulan knocked at the door.
"Girl." Mu Lan blessed her body and said, "Gu....The Seventh Young Master is waiting outside, wanting to see the girl." ”
frowned slightly, Gu Mingxiu pursed her lips and was silent. Seeing this, Mo Zhu hurriedly replied: "The Seventh Young Master came in the morning, and he had never asked for a message before, so the girl went out at that time. When the lady went out, she saw the seventh young master, so she asked the young master to go to the backyard to have tea with the second son, and wait for the girl to come back. ”
"Please come in."
Mo Zhu nodded, and was about to retreat, when she heard Gu Mingxiu call her lightly: "As for the items sent to His Royal Highness King Xiao today, then take them first, don't worry about him." ”
Mo Zhu blessed the blessed body: "Yes, the slave knows." ”
Mu Lan looked at the two of them, and some complicated emotions flashed in her eyes. She didn't say anything, just blessed and went out with Mozhu.
As soon as she walked to the corridor, Mu Lan grabbed Mo Zhu and said in a low voice, "The girl let you go to King Xiao's Mansion today?" ”
"Go deliver something." Mo Zhudao, looking back at Mu Lan's unhappy face, couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong with you?" How did you hear that Xiao Wangfu didn't seem to be very happy. ”
Mu Lan's face was displeased: "I thought the girl was going out with you and Agarwood-" She hesitated, "His Royal Highness King Xiao is unpredictable, I just hope that the girl can deal less with him, it's scary." ”
"The girl has her own opinions." Mo Zhu smiled and comforted her, "I still have to go and invite the Seventh Young Master." ”
With that, he hurried away.
Mu Lan looked at Mo Zhu's figure, staying in place for a long time. She bit her lip and turned slightly pale.
There was a brief movement beside him, and the little maid who was cleaning on the side walked out with a broom, as if she was concentrating on sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground, but she looked at Mu Lan with a smile in her eyes, and said, "What am I talking about?" You are dedicated to Miss Four, but Miss Four may not appreciate it, but dislikes you for being useless, so she doesn't tell you anything. ”
She leaned closer to Mu Lan's side and chuckled, "You and Sister Mozhu obviously grew up with the fourth lady together, and this friendship should not be comparable to others alone." But now you see, the new agarwood is more trusted by the fourth lady than Mu Lan. ”
The little maid said that she was happy, but she saw that Mu Lan suddenly turned around, and shouted at her with a straight face: "Has the yard been cleaned?" Before they finished cleaning, they were dangling around here, didn't they want to be beaten? ”
The little maid shrank back, timidly took the broom and stepped back, and whispered: "Sister Mulan, don't be angry, I, I'm going to clean the yard!" ”
Mo Zhu, who was walking towards him, blessed his body and pointed out the way to Gu Jing. She looked at Mu Lan, who was displeased, frowned and disagreed: "Good and decent, what kind of temper with the little girl." She's younger, if she's playful, you can talk about it, what if you quarrel with the girl? ”
Mo Zhu shook his head: "It's all big girls, and they still have a temper like a child." It's okay in the courtyard, and if you get angry outside, you might end up with someone else's tongue and provoke the girl—"
Before he finished speaking, he was abruptly interrupted by Mu Lan: "I know, I know, as long as you are steady, don't cause trouble for the girl, I'm an annoying spirit!" She pushed Mozhu away and said angrily, "I'll go back to the house now, stay well, don't say anything, don't make trouble for the girl." ”
With that, he walked away angrily and quickly.
Mo Zhu looked at her back in confusion: "What's the matter...."She sighed and hurriedly chased after her, "Mulan, Mulan!" Wait a minute, I-"
"Ah Jing."
When Gu Jing entered, he saw Gu Mingxiu sitting in front of the window, his eyes indifferent. When they looked at each other, she smiled, and the bottom of her eyes was dyed with a little warmth, gentle and kind.
"Fourth sister." Gu Jing called her, and then smiled slightly, then sat opposite her, and said slowly, "I know that you feel sorry for me, thinking that you will follow and leave when you tell your mother and them to leave, and you have never said a word to me, you will definitely feel guilty about me in your heart." ”
Gu Mingxiu lowered his eyes and looked peaceful.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Fourth sister, I wouldn't think like this. Meeting the slightly inquiring gaze on the other side, Gu Jing smiled slightly, "I'm very happy." Fourth sister, you and fifth sister, I am really happy that they can leave the Gu family. ”
"I'm not a fool, and I'm not a kid anymore. My father doesn't like you and targets you everywhere, and I can see it. Gu Jing faded a little immature when he was serious, his eyes were slightly cold, and his back was straight, "Whether it's the second sister or the eldest brother, it's not sincere to you." Gu Fu... It's not a home, and if you're there all the time, I can't put my mind at ease. ”
Gu Mingxiu pursed his lips, but did not speak.
Everyone else could see it clearly, but she was the only one who circled around the group like a fool.
Gu Mingxiu smiled: "It's just... I'm a little sorry for you," she stared intently at the young man's appearance, her eyes stained with a little worry and guilt, "I left you alone in that place, in that place full of jackals, tigers and leopards." ”
She said softly: "Now that something has happened to Gu Xuan, you are the only man in the Gu Mansion, and your grandmother will definitely refuse to let you go." In a while, I'll make arrangements, and I will—"
"Fourth sister, don't bother." Gu Jing interrupted her.
The little boy showed a sunny smile, raised his hand to cover the back of her hand, and said seriously: "Although my grandmother is reluctant to me, it is my old love and my biological mother's affection in the end." She protects me, but I don't want to accept that affection. You are gone, and the Gu Mansion is not my home. ”
"Now that my grandmother is sick, she doesn't have much energy to take care of me. I have already told General An that I am going to enlist. He showed a mouthful of white teeth, and when he looked at it, he returned to his childlike innocent and cute appearance, "I want to follow General An and them to fight, and now there is no war to fight, so I will start as a soldier in the barracks." ”
"You're not here today, and I've been chatting with General An for a long time. He... He is a very good person, several times better than his father. He wouldn't be angry with me because my father was Gu Qingyuan, but told me, Fourth Sister, you mentioned something about me to him. Gu Jing said slowly, "Fourth sister, you are not in good health, but you are always worrying about these things. ”
After a pause, his eyes lit up, and he was very firm: "Fourth sister, don't worry." Wait for me for a few years, wait for me for a few more years, and I will protect you, even if it is a father, I will not be able to hurt you. ”
Gu Mingxiu looked at him in a daze, as if she had seen the young man who was still with her in the temple a long time ago.
is also so firm: "Fourth sister, I will definitely protect you!" ”
Then because of her, she broke into the prison and ended up with a corpse in a different place.
Gu Jing was full of confidence, but he couldn't help but look like a young man when he made a promise. He looked away embarrassedly, coughed lightly, and his eyes secretly fell on Gu Mingxiu's face, but he saw that the girl was slightly stunned, and the mist under her eyes was blurred, and she looked a little sad.
He let out a "chuckle" in his heart, and was a little panicked: "Fourth, fourth sister!" Don't you want me to be a soldier? I-I'm fine, I'm not small, I'm not-"
Gu Mingxiu shook his head slightly.
She leaned over and hugged the little boy into her arms, gently patted his back with her fingertips, and a tear wiped from the corner of the boy's clothes. Gu Mingxiu had tears in his eyes, and his voice was smiling: "Ah Jing, I believe in you." You will definitely do well and become the person you want to be. ”
In the previous life, Gu Changge smiled and smiled with her: "I don't want to hurt the younger brother either, it's just that he is in the way of the eldest brother." ”
She closed her eyes and whispered.
"This time, you'll have a good day."
No one can take your life anymore, the one who doesn't want you to live.
It won't exist anymore.
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
