The warm sunlight fell on the light yarn, and a little lighter color sprinkled on the bluestone slab. A few days after the winter snow melted, the partial bright sky was vaguely revealing a bit of inflammation.

Very strange climate.

Gu Mingxiu returned home, but he had not yet called the maid. In addition to Gu Mingxiu's master and servant in the courtyard, only the rescued girl remained. Occasionally, there was the rustling sound of the breeze sweeping through the leaves, and the whole courtyard was quiet.

Mo Zhu and Miao Lan were not far from the position, although the two of them deliberately lowered their voices, they still fell into Gu Mingxiu's ears word for word.

The dark eyes sank slowly, and Gu Mingxiu casually lowered her long eyelashes, revealing a shallow smile.

Since she was reborn and awakened, many things she has manifested are no different from those of her previous life. Mo Zhu and Mu Lan grew up with her since she was a child, and they are familiar with her many behavior habits, and they also know her temperament a little.

With a huge change overnight, they must not be without surprise and surprise.

She hadn't played chess for eleven years, and she hadn't seen any chess games. The two of them must be well aware, but they behave naturally.

Mozhu is calm and measured, and Miao Lan is lively and intelligent. Whatever she commanded, they would both do it, whatever it was.

It's just that Mozhu Mulan has been with her for too long, and she is somewhat restrained by family etiquette, and she can't completely do too much for her. The second is that people don't know martial arts, and many things are extremely inconvenient to do.

She must find another reliable person, not from the Gu Mansion, let alone through the hands of Dong Qing and Gu Qingyuan.

His eyes slowly moved to the woman kneeling in front of him, Gu Mingxiu did not put down the book in his hand and did not move.

They did not buy new clothes, and the cloth clothes that the women were wearing had been replaced by Mozhu's clothes. Her body is somewhat similar to Mozhu, and there is nothing wrong with dressing it.

After being brought in by Mozhu, she knelt quietly in front of Gu Mingxiu's chaise longue. The body bent slightly, and his head was lowered without saying a word.

The woman's appearance is also good, and she is quite moving after dressing up, so it's no wonder that she was dragged away by those people.

Gu Mingxiu didn't speak, nor did she call her up. The woman knelt quietly, her hands on her knees in a regular manner, and there was no resentment or humiliation on her face.

"You know the rules?" The hand holding the scroll is lowered and placed on the chest. Gu Mingxiu tilted her head slightly, and her eyes fell on her face with a bit of curiosity.

There is also a slight bit of hidden sharpness and scrutiny in the curiosity.

The woman nodded, without any concealment: "I have worked as a maid for the local rich and noble, served the young lady, knows a few words, and understands some rules in the palace." ”

The post county town they passed through was second to that of Yangzhou. Although there are rich and noble people, it is not false, just know the rules of the city government, why do you still understand the rules of the palace?

Mu Lan didn't ask, but her expression was undisguised with confusion.

Seeing this, the woman was silent for a moment, and then said, "Miss originally wanted to enter the palace, so she invited the old lady who left the palace to teach. The young lady was playful and impatient, so let me remember. ”

With a gentle "hmm", Gu Mingxiu blinked, but she did not eliminate the scrutiny in her eyes, she stared at the woman thoughtfully: "Let me ask you again, would you like to treat me as the master?" ”

She knew that this woman was learning martial arts, and she also knew that she had some contact with the noble girl circle. She asked this sentence, and she also believed that the woman in front of her could understand what she meant.

Regard her as the Lord and take her as the sky. But whatever she commands, she can't refuse, even if Gu Mingxiu wants her life, she must obey.

"I did save you, but I didn't just sympathize with you with a soft heart. I saved you so that you could do something for me. Gu Mingxiu looked at her lightly.

As soon as the words came out, not only Mo Zhu and Miao Lan behind them were stunned, but even the kneeling woman no longer maintained her calm mood, and a look of surprise flashed on her face.

Gu Mingxiu lowered his head, with a little carelessness.

"Mozhu and Mu Lan are my confidants, they are me, and I will naturally treat them sincerely. But they don't know martial arts, and it's inconvenient to do many things for me, and my purpose to save you is not pure, but at the moment it is for you to choose. ”

"If you consider me Lord, I will be true to you. If you don't want to, I won't force you, just finish some things for me and leave. Gu Mingxiu put down the hand supporting her head and said lightly, "In the same way, I won't treat you sincerely." ”

This is said bluntly and frankly, that is, there is no concealment in the slightest. The woman subconsciously looked up, Gu Mingxiu's face was indifferent, and her dark eyes were as clean as a landscape painting, but there was a bit of cold chill.

The woman trembled slightly, and then replied: "No matter what the purpose is, it is true that you saved me, then from now on, my life is yours." ”

"Your life is your own." Gu Mingxiu curled the corners of her lips, with a slight smile in her tone, which made the woman stunned again, "I want you to do things for me, but I don't want you to risk your life to do it." ”

"If you save your life, you can do more."

The woman looked at Gu Mingxiu in a daze, but there was something strange in her heart. The girl in front of her is obviously upright and lively, but her demeanor and thoughts are completely different from her, and she even has a little... With a bit of a bit of pessimism about the world but not to break through the red dust.

She was moved for a moment, and then she heard Gu Mingxiu say lightly: "What's your name?" ”

Hearing this, the woman bent her body and rested her forehead on the back of her hand: "The slave is nameless, please give the girl a name." ”

Gu Mingxiu said softly: "You have a faint agarwood fragrance on your body, from now on, you will call agarwood." ”

"Yes, Agarwood thanked the girl." The woman thanked her seriously before she straightened up, and when she saw Gu Mingxiu bowing her head slightly, she calmly got up and stood aside.

Mo Zhu and Mu Lan glanced at each other, the latter stepped forward to hold Agarwood's hand, and said with a smile: "In the future, I will accompany the girl together, I am Miao Lan, younger than you, this is Mo Zhu." ”

Compared with Mu Lan's enthusiasm, Mo Zhu smiled slightly, with a kind meaning: "My clothes are a little old, I will buy you new clothes tomorrow, and I will have some today." ”

"No, the clothes are good, thank you." Agarwood's temperament was a little cold, but he just shook his head, but his tone was very gentle.

………

It wasn't until night that Gu Liyi woke up. At that time, there was still some time before dinner, Gu Mingxiu was tired and was taking a nap, and Mo Zhu didn't wake her up after thinking about it.

Dong Qing looked for a few gentlemen and asked An to leave to discuss which one was more suitable to teach Gu Mingxiu.

Gu Liyi was the only one left in the courtyard, Gu Xiaodie.

Seeing that Gu Liyi woke up, Gu Xiaodie breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes turned red first: "Fifth sister, you scared me to death, I won't dare to let you climb so high in the future." She rubbed her eyes and said to the maid on the side, "Go and tell the second sister that the fifth sister is awake." ”

The maid nodded, turned around and hurried away. Seeing this, Gu Liyi's personal maid Ling Qiao stepped forward and said softly: "Sixth Miss, the slave maid will go and talk to Fourth Miss." ”

"Don't go!" Gu Xiaodie glared at Ling Qiao, pouted and reprimanded, "Don't you know that the fourth sister is not in good health?" Didn't I hear Aunt Qing say that the fourth sister rested first, the fourth sister has been busy for a day, if she is resting now, if you go to disturb her again, Aunt Qing will definitely scold me! ”

Ling Qian hesitated for a moment: "But..."

"But what's it, don't you go to the kitchen to see if the medicine is ready." Gu Xiaodie glared at Ling Qiao unhappily, and her tone sank down, but it was really a little fierce, "It's stupid." ”

“… Yes, the slave and the maid will go. Ling Qiao Fu body, raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Liyi on the bed worriedly, got up and hurried out.

Only Gu Xiaodie and Gu Liyi were left in the room, and the little girl with an ugly face regained her lively posture. She turned her head to look at Gu Liyi, who was still a little dazed, and said in a low voice: "Fifth sister, don't be afraid, the second sister will come to see you in a while." ”

As if thinking of something, she smiled and said, "The second sister has been guarding you, but the fourth sister said that she was going to visit her grandmother, and the second sister was not worried that the fourth sister accompanied her, and she came back to see you when it was over." ”

"The fourth sister is not in good health, and she will go back to the yard after meeting her grandmother, and the fifth sister will probably not see the fourth sister today." Gu Xiaodie said very calmly, as if she was simply relaying the facts.

Gu Liyi was originally very disliked for Gu Mingxiu, but now that she heard that this sister was indifferent to her, she would inevitably be even more disgusted.

Gu Xiaodie felt that she still knew Gu Liyi very well.

The little girl on the bed blinked, listening to Gu Xiaodie's chatter with some difficulty. Her expression was dazed, and her gaze never focused.

Staring at the brocade tent on the bed for a long time, Gu Liyi slowly moved his gaze to look at the decoration in the room.

"Fifth sister?" Seeing that Gu Liyi didn't answer herself, Gu Xiaodie opened her lips and called her.

Gu Liyi's gaze slowly fell on Gu Xiaodie's worried and innocent face, and the hand under the brocade quilt trembled suddenly. Her gaze instantly became clear, but her voice was a little uncertain: "... Look at... Butterflies? ”

has never been called by Gu Liyi with a surname, Gu Xiaodie was stunned for a while: "Fifth sister, fifth sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's you!"

The pale-faced girl sat up suddenly, her hands clasping Gu Xiaodie's shoulders. She stared at Gu Xiaodie hatefully, her eyes were full of hatred, which made Gu Xiaodie shudder.

"Five, fifth sister, what's wrong with you...?"

The hand pinched her painfully, Gu Xiaodie was angry and frightened in her heart, but there was only panic and helplessness on her face: "Help!" Help—Fifth Sister is Crazy—"

"Fifth sister! I'm Xiaodie! ”

Gu Liyi didn't seem to listen to anything, just glared at her viciously, grabbed her shoulders and shook her uncontrollably, muttering in her mouth that she didn't know what to say.

Gu Xiaodie's tears fell from her shake, and fear appeared in her eyes.

As soon as Ling Qiao and Gu Changge entered the door, they were frightened by this chaotic scene. The two of them were stunned together, and then rushed over to pull away the general. Ling Qian hugged Gu Liyi and pulled her away anxiously: "Girl! Girl! ”

"Fifth sister!" Gu Changge hugged Gu Xiaodie and called out urgently.

Gu Liyi was hugged and pushed and let go of his hand. Gu Xiaodie was in tears, and she couldn't stop choking while hugging Gu Changge. Raising his hand to appease his sister, Gu Changge frowned and looked at Gu Liyi.

Gu Li, who was wearing a single robe, leaned on Ling Qiao's arms, his mouth moved, and his eyes closed and he fainted.
