Chapter 7, Sister

The footsteps on the road did not have the original leisure, nor did they feel bored when they returned home after a long absence. An Li followed Dong Qing quickly towards Gu Liyi's courtyard, forgetting that he wanted to go with Gu Mingxiu to meet the old lady first. She just held Dong Qing's hand and looked at the maid who came to pray in front of her at a loss: "Why did you fall into the water so well?" ”

"The slave doesn't know." The maid was a little panicked, and timidly glanced at the anxious An Li, "The slave maid, the slave maid was not present at the time. ”

"Fourth sister, don't worry, although she is not very skilled, but the fifth sister knows how to water." Gu Changge held Gu Mingxiu's hand, obviously with a little worry on his face, but he wanted to turn around to comfort Gu Mingxiu.

Gu Mingxiu ignored her, just followed behind Dong Qing and the others, and whispered to Miao Lan beside her: "You go to Jingrong Courtyard to talk to your grandmother first." I haven't seen each other for many years, and my fifth sister fell into the water, and my mother and I are very worried. ”

Although Mu Lan is young, she understands the intrigue in this backyard. Gu Mingxiu didn't say much in just a few words, but she understood the meaning, and after blessing her body, she went to find someone to lead the way.

After Mu Lan left, Gu Mingxiu looked back at Gu Changge, and her tone was disappointed: "It's my sister-in-law, how can I not worry about Yiyi." ”

Gu Changge didn't say anything when Gu Mingxiu instructed Mu Lan, and a little surprise flashed in his heart.

An Li was panicked at this moment, but Gu Mingxiu was able to calmly fill in the omission. I haven't been back to the house for many years, and the first thing at that time was to visit the old lady, although it was delayed because Gu Liyi fell into the water, and I could understand a little bit of the reason for missing my children when I talked about it afterwards, but the etiquette inevitably made the old lady feel uncomfortable. But Gu Mingxiu was unflustered and knew before and after.

Gu Changge naturally didn't know that the person in front of her was not Gu Mingxiu, who had been recuperating in the temple for several years in the previous life, she was Queen Gu who had gone through intrigue and watched the ups and downs of the dynasty.

Gu Mingxiu knew what Gu Changge was thinking. In her previous life, she was also worried about Gu Liyi with An Li, and she went to see Gu Liyi first without even saying a word. The old lady who was waiting in Jingrong Courtyard naturally didn't wait for Gu Mingxiu and An Li, at that time, Dong Qing deliberately delayed the time before letting people go to tell him again, and An Li and Gu Mingxiu naturally didn't call anyone to explain again.

Although the old lady didn't say anything on her face, she couldn't help but be disappointed in An Li in her heart, and she also had some unspeakable disappointment and small bumps for Gu Mingxiu, so she felt that she was not as gentle and atmospheric as Gu Changge, and she was not as thoughtful as Gu Changge in terms of etiquette, and the rear did not express much opinion on the matter of correcting Dong Qing after An Li's death.

The old lady cares more about the glory of the Gu Mansion than her blood relatives.

As long as she can bring glory to the Gu Mansion, there is no difference between that person and Gu Changge.

The doctor was still seeing the doctor, Gu Liyi was lying on the bed, her little face was miserable and white, and An Li was distressed when she saw it. Gu Xiaodie stood aside, her eyes were as red as rabbits, and she turned her eyes to Dong Qing after a few people entered the door, foggy and aggrieved.

Seeing Gu Mingxiu enter the door, Mo Zhu, who was guarding the bedside, immediately got up, walked to her side and whispered, "Girl." ”

Gu Mingxiu glanced at her and didn't speak. Mo Zhu also retreated behind Gu Mingxiu with interest and did not say a word.

While calming the nervous An Li, Dong Qing straightened up and looked at Gu Xiaodie, frowning and asking, "What's going on?" Didn't your fifth sister play with you? How did you fall overboard? ”

Gu Xiaodie was already holding back her tears, but at this moment, she choked up when Dong Qing's voice was not stern but not gentle. Gu Changge hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his sister, and said in a low voice: "Aunt Qing, the sixth sister is still a child, she must be frightened, don't blame her." ”

Obviously, Gu Changge himself is also a child who has never been in time, and the appearance of hugging Gu Xiaodie makes Gu Mingxiu a little funny.

She said loudly: "Yes, Aunt Qing, the sixth sister is just a child, even if she makes any big mistakes, she is just young and ignorant." ”

"Fourth sister, what are you talking about?" Gu Changge frowned, but he still spoke gently, as if he was afraid to scare her, "I don't know what happened now, how can I wronged the sixth sister like this?" ”

"Second sister, what did I say? Didn't you say that the sixth sister is still a child? Gu Mingxiu's eyes widened slightly, with a little innocence.

Gu Changge was speechless for a while.

Seeing this, Dong Qing hurriedly softened his voice and looked at Gu Xiaodie: "Xiaodie, don't cry, tell Aunt Qing, what happened?" Why did your fifth sister fall overboard? ”

Gu Xiaodie stopped her tears under Gu Changge's comfort, and shrunk into Gu Changge's arms: "Fifth sister, fifth sister said that I wanted to fly a kite to play, but my kite broke the line and landed on the rockery. She rubbed her eyes and quietly glanced at Gu Mingxiu, with a little dissatisfaction in her grievances, "The fourth sister went back to the house, and the maids and servants went to wait at the door, we couldn't find anyone, and the fifth sister said that she would help me take it off, and as a result... As a result, I accidentally fell down....."

"I see." Seeing that Gu Xiaodie was about to cry again, Gu Mingxiu replied softly, she looked at Gu Xiaodie, her eyes were peaceful, but she forced Gu Xiaodie to see something else, which inexplicably made this sister a little afraid.

Gu Changge saw her gaze, as if he had thought of something, and was about to speak, when he heard Gu Mingxiu speak softly.

"Just because I went home, all the maids and servants in the backyard had to go to the front door to greet me." She said slowly and logically, but it faintly made Gu Changge's heart uneasy, "Do you even need to wait for the personal maids of the two younger sisters?" ”

"It turns out that when I went back to the house with my mother, did I want such a big pomp."

At the end of the conversation, Gu Mingxiu casually dragged out the sound, with a little bit of a smile.

Dong Qing suddenly missed a beat in his heart.

said yes, it was obviously her poor arrangement, just let the two young ladies who were not in time to be left unattended in the backyard, thinking about it carefully, it was Miss Chang Gu Liyi who fell into the water, who knows if she had the intention to arrange the hands and feet; Saying no, then Gu Xiaodie said that there was no one in the courtyard is a lie, after all, there is a huge Gu Mansion, and there is not really a maid and slave.

Yes or no, Gu Xiaodie's words couldn't stand up to careful consideration.

Dong Qing's face turned pale, Gu Xiaodie had already broken free and stared wide, and said aggrievedly: "It's because I don't want the maid to follow, so I am stopped from playing with the fifth sister!" What do you have to say in the words of the fourth sister? It's all my fault. ”

Gu Xiaodie seemed to be about to cry again as she spoke, but Dong Qing listened very anxiously. There was a bit of anger on her gentle face, and when she stood up, she made a gesture to raise her hand to hit Gu Xiaodie: "It's all your nonsense!" You girlβ€”"

"Aunt Qing!" Gu Changge was in a hurry, and he was about to face Dong Qing to protect Gu Xiaodie.

In the end, if he didn't beat down, An Li raised his hand and stopped Dong Qing. She looked at Gu Xiaodie, who was so frightened that she wanted to cry in Gu Changge's arms but didn't dare to cry, she just sighed and shook her head: "Don't blame her, it's because I'm naughty, this matter is like this, don't make any more trouble." ”

Gu Mingxiu stood in place, with a little indifference on his face, but he sneered slightly in his heart.

An Li sighed, she watched the doctor take the veil, and asked softly, "Doctor, how is my daughter?" ”

"It's okay, Miss Fifth just choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and there is no danger to her life, she will be fine after waking up for a few days." The doctor touched his beard and happily comforted An Li, "Madame don't have to worry. ”

"Then thank you, doctor." An Li breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the edge of the bed and touched Gu Liyi's hair, and put his mind at ease.

"Mozhu, send the doctor out." Gu Mingxiu bowed slightly.

When the cloth doctor got up, he inadvertently glanced at Gu Mingxiu, and when he followed Mozhu down, the afterglow fell all the way on Gu Mingxiu, hesitating slightly, but he didn't say anything, and packed up his things and left.

Gu Mingxiu was slightly stunned in her heart, and looked at the back of the doctor leaving a little strangely.

All the way out of the courtyard, the cloth doctor asked Mozhu with a smile: "This girl, the young lady who asked you to send me out is Miss Chang in the house, right?" ”

"Yes, it's my young lady."

Doctor Buyi touched his beard and said with a smile: "Miss Yan's bearing is extraordinary," Before Mo Zhu laughed, Doctor Buyi seemed to have no intention of asking, "I don't know if your young lady has a sweetheart?" ”

Mo Zhu's eyes widened suddenly, and when he looked at the cloth doctor, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Is this also something you can ask?" The doctor will take a good look at the doctor and ask my young lady about these things?! ”

Doctor Buyi was not annoyed, but looked at Mo Zhu's angry appearance and said with a smile: "Your young lady is frail, cold and difficult, and very weak. I just looked at her face, her eyebrows were wistful, and she was a little lovesick, which was good for herβ€”"

Without waiting for him to finish, Mo Zhutou didn't reach back and pulled him to the door, and pushed the person out with both hands. Mo Zhu stood at the small door of the backyard, his apricot eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Phew! Where did the rogue doctor come from! Your red lips and white teeth can stain my young lady's innocence out of thin air? My young lady hasn't had a relationship with a strange man for several years, where did the lovesickness come from?! It's inexplicable! You dare to talk nonsense again in the future! Watch out for your signboards! ”

After speaking, Mo Zhu slammed the door shut, leaving the speechless cloth doctor outside the door.

Tut-tut, it's really a little girl who protects the master.

The cloth doctor touched his mustache and walked gracefully to the mouth of the alley. As soon as he walked into the alley, there was a slight sound of clothes rubbing against the leaves from the big tree next to the alley, and the cloth doctor stopped and pouted, "Don't hide." He squinted his eyes into the distance, regretfully, "It seems that the sullen job of inquiring about intelligence is really not suitable for me." ”

There was a sneer from the tree, and then a female voice asked him with a smile, "How are you asking?" ”

"I inquired clearly, Miss Yan of the Gu Mansion has no sweetheart, and the master still has a great chance." Doctor Buyi touched his mustache, and a few flashes of light appeared in his eyes, "I can see it clearly, our future young lady is still quite smart." ”

The tree man smashed down a stone, quite regretful: "Why did you let this second fool go?" ”

"Because Lao Tzu is more handsome than you." Doctor Buyi snorted coldly, beaming with pride.

The man on the tree was silent for a moment, and asked him earnestly: "Is the future young lady's maid ..... easy to bully?" ”

"Get out!"
