The branches were cool, and the water droplets rolled down the branches, falling into the light veil and melting into a piece. The curling mist was slanted by the wind, blurring the few refreshments on the table. The girl in the light pink cloak sat quietly under the tree, leisurely took the book and looked at it, and asked casually, "How is it?" ”

"The eldest young master and the seventh young master set off the day before yesterday, and they will be back in a few days." Mo Zhu replied patiently, she refilled the cup of tea she had just brewed, and looked at her absent-minded girl with a smile, "The slave knows that the girl remembers the little master, but you have asked seven or eight times in the past half an hour." ”

Gu Mingxiu sighed, a little surprised: "Have I asked so many times?" Without waiting for Mo Zhu to answer, she frowned again and muttered to herself, "If you hurry up, you should be back now." ”

"Girl, young master, they also have to rest on the road." Mo Zhu looked at the frowning little girl with a smile and sighed, "Don't worry, nothing will happen, drink a cup of tea to warm up." ”

Closing the book and putting it aside, Gu Mingxiu took the tea handed over by Mozhu, lowered his head and took a sip: "I know that nothing will happen, but... I haven't seen him for a long time, and I'm afraid that he won't recognize me anymore and won't be close to me. ”

The skinny child in memory always stared at a pair of stubborn eyes, guarding against her closeness.

Obviously, he always twisted his appearance, looking very strange, and after she married that person, the farther and farther she went, the two became more and more strange, and hated her more and more.

But when he heard that she was framed and imprisoned, he led his soldiers to break into the prison to rescue her.

"How so?" Mo Zhu smiled, and comforted his girl with kind words, "The girl was too sick at that time and had to leave." Although the little master was reluctant, he was sending letters to the girl every day, but when he went to the academy, he couldn't write, and he thought that he would not alienate the girl. ”

Gu Mingxiu smiled faintly and did not speak.

Gu Jing, the seventh young master of the Gu Mansion, was the child that Gu Qingyuan hated the most. After Dong Qing married Gu Qingyuan, about the two were also true love, and Gu Qingyuan did not marry again. Dong Qing is also powerful, and he forcibly tossed the aunt and An Li, and became the only hostess of this backhouse.

Gu Jing is not my aunt's child. At that time, Dong Qingcai was not long pregnant, Gu Qingyuan slept with a servant girl after drinking, and after waking up, he was quite disgusted, but he didn't want the servant girl to conceive a child. Gu Qingyuan didn't like it, but Mrs. Gu couldn't bear it, so she ordered the maid to take care of her.

The maid knew that she was not liked by the master, and the child had no name, so she committed suicide by throwing herself into the water shortly after giving birth to the child, only hoping that Gu Qingyuan could take good care of the child. In the end, it was Mrs. Gu who put the child on the family tree and raised it under An Li's name.

Gu Mingxiu liked Gu Jing very much, and he also took him over to live in Chongming Temple for half a year. It's just that Gu Jing later went to the academy with the eldest young master Gu Xuan, and there was no correspondence again.

She closed her eyes and sighed softly, saying no more.

As soon as Mu Lan sent Mr. Jiao Xi away, another person was ushered in.

"Sister Xiu, you will enjoy it more and more." Gu Liyi smiled and walked from a distance, waving his hand to signal that Ling Qian didn't have to follow to find Mu Lan. She walked with light steps and sat down opposite Gu Mingxiu at will.

Instructed Mozhu to send some sweets over, Gu Mingxiu looked at her with a smile: "You can't waste it if you can spend a few days free, don't you say?" ”

After An Li took power, the house was much cleaner, and Gu Changge stayed in the room all day to teach Gu Xiaodie embroidery, but he never came to find any trouble.

As if remembering something, Gu Liyi pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "I guess Sister Xiu is so happy because I heard that my little brother is coming back, isn't it?" She blinked, quite a bit of a taste, "In Sister Xiu's heart, after thinking about it, the younger brother is more important than me." ”

"You girl." Gu Mingxiu rubbed her head funny, her eyes were slightly deep, "I really miss Ah Jing, it's just that our eldest brother is back....I can't calm down for a few days." ”

Gu Liyi frowned and thought for a while: "In the previous life, the eldest brother rarely talked to us, and he looked a little fierce. ”

"Fierce? It's just a fake, our big brother, but he's very scheming. Gu Mingxiu smiled faintly, her voice was a little cold, "Aunt Qing and the second sister can stay and deal with it slowly, but they want to send a good thing to our eldest brother." The corners of her lips curled, and her smile became colder and colder, "It's okay to pay off the debts of these two lives together." ”

"Did he do something?" Gu Liyi held Gu Mingxiu's hand and asked worriedly.

Looking at his sister's uneasy gaze, Gu Mingxiu took away the coldness and said lightly: "It was he who led people and copied General An's mansion." ”

"What-" Gu Liyi's eyes widened.

"It was Gu Xuanjian who beheaded and sent his grandfather away." Gu Mingxiu said softly.

It was she who couldn't move and was forcibly sent to the execution ground, standing in the crowd of onlookers, watching her gentle eldest brother who had always smiled throw out the sign, staring at General An's family being beheaded one by one without squinting.

General An's family looked serious and did not have the slightest timidity. Just stared at the dead eyes and looked up at the blue sky. Her little aunt was still pregnant with a child, gently stroking her abdomen, but she was also in a different place, and closed her eyes quietly.

"Sister embroidery!"

"Sister Embroidery!!"

Hatred surfaced in my heart layer by layer, almost overwhelming Gu Mingxiu. Her mind was full of the bloody scene, and the indelible despair and unwillingness at that time were clearly squeezed in her heart at this moment, causing her face to be pale and her whole person overflowing with a bit of murderous intent.

A sudden and urgent call pulled her back to reality with a hurry.

"Sister Xiu, it's okay, it's okay." Gu Liyi clenched her hand worriedly, stared at her eyes tightly and refused to leave, "Sister Xiu, take a look at me, I'm here, nothing has happened yet, you said that everything will not happen again, Sister Xiu, isn't it, it's still too late, isn't it?" ”

Staring at his sister's eyes, Gu Mingxiu closed his eyes and took a light breath and then relaxed.

She opened her eyes and looked at Gu Liyi, her expression had returned to her usual indifference. Raising his hand and gently stroking his sister's hair, Gu Mingxiu took the person into his arms and said softly: "Well, everything is still in time." We're going to make them pay the price, that's what happened... It's just a nightmare that will never happen again. ”

Hurried footsteps came from the front yard, Mo Zhu turned the small courtyard, and opened his mouth from a distance: "Girl! Girl! The eldest young master is back! She hurriedly ran to the two of them, and before she had time to breathe, she continued, "The little young master went to the school first, I'm afraid I'll come back later, the eldest young master came back first, and I was about to see the old lady and the lady." ”

Gu Mingxiu showed a happy look on her face, then she suddenly got up and ordered: "Prepare, Mozhu, you tell your mother, I won't accompany her to eat tonight, so don't worry about it." She turned her head to look at Gu Liyi, "Yiyi, come with me?" ”

Knowing what Gu Mingxiu was going to do, Gu Liyi sighed, as if reluctantly: "If this continues, I will probably be jealous with my younger brother....." Yu Guang saw Gu Mingxiu smile and smiled, and then she smiled, "Then I'll go back and change my clothes first, and I'll wait for you at the door in a while." ”

After changing his clothes, he instructed Mo Zhu to look in the courtyard, and Gu Mingxiu took Miao Lan and Agarwood out of the courtyard.

Today is not too cold, slightly open some spring, water ripples clear waves. The eldest young master who had just returned to the Gu Mansion was coming out of Jingrong Courtyard to Anli's courtyard to meet his mother.

Walking through the corridor, I saw several people passing through the rockery. The little girl at the head wore a green long skirt and a soft velvet cloak, walking steadily and indifferently, and the skirt was slightly spread out in the shape of lotus leaves, walking in the winter mood, which was quite moving. She only showed a side face, her expression was calm, but she was very aura.

Gu Xuan was slightly stunned, his heart moved, he took two steps forward, and called softly: "Fourth sister? ”

Sure enough, seeing the three people in front of him stop, Gu Mingxiu turned his head slightly. As if he had just seen Gu Xuan, Gu Mingxiu blinked, a little confusion flashed on his face, he hesitated in place, and saluted with some puzzlement: "... Big brother? ”

Her voice was crisp and weak.

Gu Xuan strode up to Gu Mingxiu, stopped a few steps in front of her in a decent manner, returned the salute, and got up and smiled slightly: "I said where is there such a good-looking girl in the house, it turns out that the fourth sister is back." ”

Gu Xuan was dressed exquisitely, and the whole person was graceful. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is very honest when he looks at it, with a little smile in his eyes, and a little heroism, not so wooden. When he spoke, he smiled slightly, not making people feel frivolous and excessive, as if he was sincere.

Her eldest brother, who looks loyal and honest, is friends with General An's grandson in the academy, and also knows General An's son, and is treated by General An's family.

Gu Mingxiu stared at the person in front of him quietly, and slowly showed a smile, with a little surprise, his eyes widened slightly, full of innocence and cuteness: "Big brother is really good at talking, do you often praise the second sister like this?" She pursed her lips, as if she was a little embarrassed, "It's been a long time since I saw my big brother." ”

"Fourth sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you feeling better?" Gu Xuan asked her with concern.

Gu Mingxiu nodded: "It's much better, I can go farther, now I want to go out with my fifth sister." She paused, and looked at Gu Xuan with a slight hesitation, "Big brother...."

"What's wrong?" Gu Xuan asked her gently, looking at her eyes very patiently, "Just tell the eldest brother if you have something, they are all a family, don't be afraid of being troubled." ”

Gu Mingxiu was still hesitating, and a little hesitation and entanglement flashed in her eyes. She lowered her head, and her tone was a little low: "I haven't seen you for so long, but my eldest brother is still so kind, and I'm very happy to talk to you." But—" she looked up at him, biting her lip, "It's like being estranged from a few sisters and sisters." ”

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
