After the winter snow, the weather is getting warmer, but in just a day's work, the snow outside has almost melted. The wooden window is propped up, and when you look up, you can see a faint greenery, and a little snow is hidden in the middle.

Gu Mingxiu leaned on the small collapse and looked at the wind outside with interest. She hugged the cloak, casually placed the open scroll on the small table, and her side face was a little warm, looking a little less sickly.

Gu Xuan, who had just stepped into the door, was slightly stunned for a moment, and there was deep meaning in his eyes. He coughed lightly, recalling the thoughts of the person who was out of his mind on the small collapse, and then raised his hand and clenched his fist and gently knocked on the door twice, and smiled gently: "Am I here at the wrong time, it seems to disturb the rest of the fourth sister?" ”

"Big brother laughed." Gu Mingxiu pursed her lips and smiled faintly.

Gu Xuan stepped forward and sat down in front of her casually, and only after Mozhu served tea did he look at Gu Mingxiu's expression: "I look much better than yesterday, but I still feel uncomfortable today?" He took a sip of tea, as if joking, "You didn't know that yesterday you were sent home, and your face was almost as white as snow outside." ”

Gu Mingxiu half-hung his long eyelashes, and his smile was a little lonely: "Big brother, don't make fun of it." ”

"It's me who said the wrong thing, fourth sister, don't take it to heart." After carefully observing the person's expression, Gu Xuan put down the teacup and said casually, "Is it because of Changge and Xiaodie's words that the fourth sister fainted?" As soon as the words fell, I saw that the fingers on the outside of the cloak tightened unconsciously, and the corners of the clothes were clenched tightly, but they still remained silent.

Gu Xuan's heart was a little clearer, and his tone was even kinder: "Xiaodie has been arrogant since she was a child, but she is not. Changge has always spoiled her, it is inevitable that she will be bullied, and she is angry with you for a moment of negligence, I listened to yesterday's events, in the end, it is my own sister, I punish her two for copying scriptures, and the right to punish you for being angry, okay? ”

His mind was simple. Gu Changge should be the first talented woman in Yangzhou, and her reputation and talent must not be affected by others, so she is the demeanor of the future mother of the world. Now that I am still young, it is inevitable that there will be some incidents, as long as it is not too big. Yesterday's incident involved Gu Changge in the end, and it seemed that everyone felt that the title of "Yangzhou Yiju" was more suitable for Gu Mingxiu.

The matter of stealing poems on red notes has not been investigated, but fortunately, the people who came from Yilan Garden are all children of the Jingzhong family, so they are not too worried about the spread of the news. Changge's performance was a little inappropriate, but he fell behind, and in the eyes of those young masters, he was completely inferior to Gu Mingxiu.

This is not something that Gu Xuan is happy to see.

He was even more worried that Gu Mingxiu would make trouble about this matter, even if he and his father had the ability to solve it, it would affect Changge's reputation in the end, so he had to try Gu Mingxiu's tone.

"If you're not satisfied, then I'll ask my grandmother to make the decision for you, okay?" Gu Xuan saw that she didn't speak for a long time, sighed lightly, and was quite helpless as if she was going to get up, really going to find her grandmother's posture.

Gu Mingxiu raised his head suddenly, and said urgently: "Big brother! Can't go looking for grandmother! She pursed her lips, her expression slightly anxious, "I... I didn't want to punish the second sister and the sixth sister, I just...."She lowered her eyes and said softly, "I can't blame them, it's just the sisterhood I owe for more than ten years." ”

"They probably think the same way, but you have been unfamiliar for too long, and it is inevitable that you will not express it." Gu Xuan reached out and patted her back as if soothingly, and said softly, "I have punished them for you, and when they come to see you, remember to talk about it." ”

Gu Mingxiu nodded: "I know." ”

Seeing that she was so well-behaved, Gu Xuan nodded with a smile, with a little satisfaction between his eyebrows: "Then the fourth sister, you have a good rest, I have something to do, I will leave first, and I will come to see you later." ”

Quietly taking the person's expression into his eyes, Gu Mingxiu sneered slightly.

How could she not know what Gu Xuan was thinking? It's just that she wants to calm things down and coax her to save Gu Changge's reputation. Since this is the case, she came to help and did this for Gu Changge, but she didn't know if Gu Changge could afford it after her reputation was saved.

Gu Mingxiu said lightly: "Mozhu, what you ordered a few days ago can be done today." ”

Mo Zhu, who was standing behind her, heard this, and the footsteps he had just stepped out were retracted. His eyes fell on Gu Mingxiu's face, and Mo Zhu hesitated: "Girl, you really don't think about it anymore?" This thing...."

"This is what Gu Changge wants to see very much, and it is also what I want to see. She thought that God was helping her, but she didn't know that it was time for her to repay the debt," Gu Mingxiu said casually, sneering lightly, "I just hope that my father, who only wants to pave the way for Gu Changge, will not let me down." ”

Mo Zhu was silent for a moment, faded the hesitation in his tone, and said firmly: "Yes, the slave will do it." ”

She put away the teacup on the small table and quietly withdrew.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Mu Lan coming in with a medicine bowl with a smile, followed by Gu Liyi and Gu Jing, seeing the tea in her hand, Gu Jing frowned and said, "Who has been here?" ”

Mo Zhu saluted and replied, "It's the eldest young master, I talked to the girl for a while and left." ”

"What is the big brother going to do?" Gu Liyi said softly, with a little doubt in his eyes.

When the two entered the house, Miao Lan first brought the medicine in her hand to Gu Mingxiu, and said softly: "Girl, drink the medicine." ”

Gu Mingxiu was about to take the bowl, but suddenly frowned: "I feel uncomfortable when I smell the taste, this medicine is so bitter, where can I stand it when I drink it every day." She withdrew her hand, stared at the medicine bowl and sighed slightly, looking a little resistant.

It's like a child who doesn't like to drink medicine.

Mu Lan was slightly stunned when she looked at her, and her face showed a strange look. I have been drinking this medicine for many years, and when I was a child, the girl cried out a few times bitterly, and since she was older, she had not said these words for several years, and she was always very calm every time she drank the medicine, and she was like this today.

Gu Jingben couldn't help but want to laugh, but when he thought about Gu Mingxiu, he had drunk the medicine for so many years, and he felt very distressed for a while. He looked at Gu Mingxiu's pale cheeks, and said in a softened voice, "Shall I go and get you candied fruit and plums?" After drinking the medicine and eating some of these, you won't feel bitter. ”

"Then there's Lao Ajing." Gu Mingxiu smiled and nodded, "Mu Lan, you lead the way, lest Ah Jing can't find the small kitchen." ”

Although Mu Lan felt strange in her heart, she just nodded and went out with Gu Jing.

After not hearing the footsteps, Gu Mingxiu's expression turned cold, and he said lightly: "Yiyi, I want to ask my mother to take you to the Baiyuan Temple in the suburbs to pray for blessings in a while, and coax Ah Jing over, so don't go back to the house tonight, stay until tomorrow morning and come back." ”

Gu Liyi originally wanted to make fun of his sister, but at this moment he was slightly stunned: "Why do you want to avoid Ah Jing saying this?" She frowned and looked at Gu Mingxiu suspiciously, "Sister Xiu, what are you going to do?" ”

"Tonight in Baiyuan Temple, Xu is able to meet a woman with a young girl, surnamed Xu, who is very kind. The idea is to let her meet her mother, and then let them go, no need to interfere. Gu Mingxiu didn't answer her words, but just explained softly, "It would be better if that woman could come back with you tomorrow, remember?" ”

She looked at Gu Liyi seriously, and said softly: "This matter is very important, it is related to our future plans, and we must not show half of it deliberately." Yiyi, can you do it well? ”

"Nature can!" Gu Liyi was looked at by her like that, and immediately expressed her determination.

Gu Mingxiu smiled lightly and leaned back slightly. Gu Liyi pursed her lips and smiled, and then she felt that something was wrong, and she didn't ask Gu Mingxiu's plans. She stared at her eyes and was about to speak again, when she saw Gu Mingxiu raise her eyes and chuckle: "It's really slow." ”

"It took a bit of a lot of work to choose." Gu Jing walked over embarrassedly, opened the basket in his hand, and first laid out a plate of desserts and said, "This is for the fifth sister, I taste it and think it's delicious." Then he took out the small plate at the bottom, put it on the small table, and said with a smile, "I also chose a few for the fourth sister, huh, can you drink medicine?" ”

"I'll drink it in a moment." Gu Mingxiu said softly, with a little tiredness between his eyebrows.

Frowning and glancing at each other, Gu Liyi stood up and patted Gu Mingxiu's hand: "Sister Xiu, you will sleep after drinking the medicine, and when you wake up, we will come to see you again." She turned her head to look at Gu Jing and said with a smile, "Maybe my mother will come to see Sister Xiu in a while, let's go and intercept my mother first, talk to her for a while, and wait for Sister Xiu to rest." ”

Gu Jing nodded: "Good idea." ”

The two told Miao Lan to wait for Gu Mingxiu to finish drinking the medicine and then let her rest, and not to read books and do other things before turning around and leaving.

Mu Lan looked at the backs of the two of them and said with a smile: "I thought that Miss Fifth was really unreasonable, but now it seems that Miss Five really cares about the girl." She tested the temperature of the medicine bowl and held it up, "Girl, drink the medicine." ”

Gu Mingxiu curled his lips and smiled faintly, and after taking it, he slowly drank a bowl of medicine.

Mu Lan took the handkerchief and was about to give it to her, before she reached out to take the empty bowl, and her hand was immediately held by Gu Mingxiu. The pale-faced girl came over on her stomach, but spit out all the medicine she had just drunk. The black medicinal juice was mixed with a faint smell of blood, which stunned Mu Lan's whole person.

"Aunt—"

"Don't talk." Gu Mingxiu frowned and said, "Don't alarm others, and you don't need to find a doctor, just boil a bowl again, just say that Fang Cai accidentally knocked it over and cleaned it up." ”

Mu Lan hurriedly said, "But the girl—"

"The people in the house who are waiting for me to have an accident are staring, counting on the slightest movement on my side to make them happy. A group of wolves, tigers and leopards are hungry and thirsty, where do we have the reason to send people to the door. Gu Mingxiu covered his mouth with a handkerchief, his face was pale but his tone was extremely indifferent, "If you stare at the enemy with fierce eyes, you won't see the danger behind you." ”

Her eyes were dark, vaguely chilling.

Mu Lan opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she just nodded with red eyes and said, "The slave knows." ”

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
