On the night of the small bridge and flowing water, the people shuttle in the market, and the stalls and restaurants are so lively. In the crowd, a young man dressed in extraordinary clothes and magnificence was quietly passing through the crowd, walking to the bridge and taking the last note. There was no trace of impatience in his expression, and he even showed a smile at the child, with childlike gentleness.

Gu Mingxiu's hand unconsciously rested on the edge of the cloak, and his eyes stared at the little boy without blinking.

She hadn't seen this brother for a long, long time.

It was he who stood in front of the carriage that came to pick her up from Gu Mansion, carefully grabbed her sleeve, and asked her in a low cry: "I don't want to go to the academy, I don't know anyone, fourth sister, can I stay with you?" When she saw him again when she returned home, she only got a false "Fourth sister, long time no see".

Fingers unconsciously wrapped around the cloak, Gu Mingxiu remembered that she went to look for him when she noticed that Gu Jing was becoming more and more distant from him, and the person in front of her was a little aggrieved, but she smiled lowly. He looked at her and asked softly, "Fourth sister, do you remember that you said that you would accompany me to watch fireworks?" ”

Gu Jing looked at the maid who hurriedly came to find Gu Mingxiu behind him, and all the grievances on his face dissipated.

He said lightly: "The fourth sister is very busy, and the younger brother will not bother." ”

There was a hint of hatred in his eyes.

Gu Mingxiu, who was caught in the inexplicable remarks on the streets and alleys and couldn't get out, could only watch Gu Jing leave, unable to even explain. After returning home, there were many big and small things, and the turmoil on her body was not settled.

Old Madam Gu was disappointed in her, Gu Qingyuan looked at her coldly, and An Li was sick because of this. She stepped on Gu Changge's trap again and again, and before she could find the trust that Jing Jing had in her, she pushed him away again.

At that time, the handsome young man threw the tea cup in his hand at her feet, with disappointment in his eyes, but he sneered coldly on his face: "Fourth sister still cares less about my affairs, anyway, you haven't taken care of me for so many years, why bother meddling now?" If you have time, the fourth sister should not worry about herself, hum, you are really....disappointing. ”

The hatred in his tone was unpretentious, and then he brushed his sleeves and left for the barracks, where he did not return for eight years.

The last time Gu Mingxiu saw Gu Jing, she was counted in prison by Gu Changge, Gu Jing was also calculated that she would be beheaded, and broke into prison with her soldiers, and said to her firmly: "Fourth sister, don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can hurt you." ”

Then he was beheaded for treason, and Gu Mingxiu couldn't even give him the body.

Suddenly closing his eyes, Gu Mingxiu forced himself to withdraw from his memories and stood in place to slowly calm down. She walked to the bridge, stood not far behind Gu Jing, raised her eyes to look at the fireworks in the sky, and said softly: "I promised you to show you the fireworks, didn't I take you to see it, I promised you that I would do it." ”

When Gu Jing heard the voice, he couldn't help but turn his head suddenly, frowning at the girl wearing a hat behind him.

The girl stood in place, raised her head slightly, and seemed to be admiring the fireworks in the sky: "Tonight is not a festival, the fireworks are a little lonely, and it is not a good atmosphere in the end." She hung her head and said softly, "Do you think it looks good?" ”

The fireworks were coming to an end, and after a few explosions there was no sound, and then it was quiet again. The people who watched the excitement looked at the dark night with regret and shook their heads, and then dispersed and went about their own business completely. A few pedestrians were scattered on the bridge, but the two of them were still standing.

"Wait until the next Lantern Festival, and I'll accompany you to watch, okay?"

The girl asked him softly, with a gentle attitude. Gu Jing clenched the note in his hand, nervous for no reason. He looked closely at the girl opposite him and sighed softly, stretched out his hand and pulled the light veil up, revealing a delicate face.

The beautiful woman in the green shirt with a seven-point smile and three points of helplessness blinked her eyes and pursed her lips to look at him: "You don't say a word, is this good or bad?" She lifted her hat from her hand and raised her head to meet his gaze.

Gu Jing's gaze fell on the hairpin between the buns.

It was a treasure that he bought in a bunch of small stalls under Chongming Temple back then, and it was very rare to give it to someone who was about to celebrate his birthday. It was just a few things, but the man never disliked it, never discarded it.

The girl smiled: "Ah Jing, I'm back." As if she realized what Gu Jing was looking at, she sighed slightly, looking quite sad, "But you don't recognize me anymore, can you only rely on the hairpin to recognize people?" Shall I not wear it every day in the future, lest you not recognize it—"

"I'll buy you a new one." Gu Jing subconsciously spoke, and couldn't help but be stunned by Gu Mingxiu's smiling gaze. He was stunned, then quickly looked away, a little embarrassed, and wanted to mumble in a low voice: "I was not sensible at that time... This hairpin is not good-looking, and you have to wear it..."

"It's not good-looking, but you gave it away." A smiling female voice interjected, Gu Liyi walked over with three sugar gourds, and naturally stuffed one into Gu Jing's hand, "Just now I still ate Wei Xiu Sister only gave you fireworks, and she never prepared any gifts for me, now you still have to eat Wei Little brother, you only remember to buy hairpins for Sister Xiu, and you don't have my share?" ”

When Gu Mingxiu pursed her lips and smiled and took over another sugar gourd, Gu Li pretended to be sad: "It's me the most pitiful, I remember you when I buy a sugar gourd, but unfortunately no one pays attention to me." ”

Gu Jing looked at Gu Liyi's movements, and then looked at the sugar gourd in his hand, and was a little stunned for a while. Gu Liyi saw his expression, his eyes widened and said, "Isn't it that you don't recognize me without a hairpin?" I'm your fifth sister. ”

"Playing poor." Gu Mingxiu rubbed the top of Gu Liyi's hair, and naturally took Gu Jing's hand and walked forward with him, "Go inside to talk, it's not tiring to stand outside, right?" ”

Gu Jing was stupidly led forward, his ears were red when he reacted, he glared at Gu Mingxiu and was about to break free, and found that the other party's palm was cold, and he couldn't help but soften his attitude, and some of them were led away.

Along the way, the three of them sat down, and Gu Jing coughed and said, "Fourth sister, I'm not a child anymore, I don't need someone to lead me." He paused, then looked at Gu Liyi, "Fifth sister, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Aren't you staying here now? I thought you had become a nerd in the past few years at the academy. After taking a sip of hot tea, Gu Mingxiu turned his head and looked at him with a smile.

Gu Jing was not stupid, he was just confused. He knew that Gu Mingxiu had come back very early, but Gu Mingxiu had never written a letter to him over the years, and Gu Jing thought that he had been forgotten early.

But today, when he saw what Gu Mingxiu had prepared for him, and saw that the fifth sister, who had never been familiar with him, was also so affectionate, the two of them seemed to treat him as if they had been so intimate for several years, without any strangeness, which made Gu Jing inevitably a little confused.

He looked at the sugar gourd, and then at the sincere smiles of the two people in front of him, and suddenly felt that the urine in his heart was a little childish, if the fourth sister was here at the moment, and still remembered him, then what were those years.

Gu Jing smiled, his smile was a little childish: "Okay, next time I will go with the fourth sister and the fifth sister." Gu Mingxiu smiled lightly, Gu Jing raised his eyebrows and smiled, "But the fifth sister... I've been hungry for so long, so give me sugar gourds? ”

In the end, it's a child, and when he figured out his temper, he was very good, so he let go of his pretense and looked quite lively.

"Where did she give you food, it's obvious that she is greedy." Gu Mingxiu shook the sugar gourd in her hand with a smile, and instructed Miao Lan to call someone to serve the food, "I told my mother that I won't go back to eat tonight, but I'm going to go tomorrow, and Ah Jing hasn't seen my mother for a long time." ”

Talking about An Li, Gu Jing paused, and a little apprehension in his heart couldn't help but float again, but before he hesitated to ask, Gu Liyi turned his head to look at him, and his tone was sad: "Little brother, you have to be careful, my mother is getting more and more verbose, the last time she talked to me, she kept asking me if I was thin, whether I had eaten well, and brought out new clothes for me." ”

As she spoke, she carefully looked at Gu Jing's appearance, and sighed: "Don't you know, my mother's embroidery has not grown at all, and the embroidered flowers that don't fit the clothes are still like claws, and I also looked at what she made for you, I'm afraid you will be treated with me....."

Although Gu Liyi complained, he didn't have a half-disgusted tone. Gu Jing blinked his eyes when he heard that An Li had also made clothes for him, and the uneasiness in his heart completely disappeared.

The bamboo skewer shook in front of Gu Liyi, scaring her into silence.

Swallowing a sugar gourd in his mouth, Gu Mingxiu held a few sisters' shelves: "You are poor, don't teach him badly." The bamboo skewer nodded to the two of them, and the girl smiled, "The clothes made by my mother are not suitable and ugly, and you have to wear them, and you are not allowed to wear them." ”

Gu Liyi put his palm to his mouth and said to Gu Jing: "Sister Xiu is getting more and more fierce, and no one wants her in the future." ”

"You say it again?" Gu Mingxiu drank a few sips of tea to suppress the sweetness, frowned and said, "This sugar gourd is so sweet..."

"It's okay, the fourth sister can't get married, I'll just keep it." Gu Jing grinned, took a bite of the sugar gourd, and nodded with a smile, "I don't think it's very sweet, Fifth Sister, it's delicious." ”

Gu Mingxiu looked at the two people who nodded to each other incredulously, and turned his head to look at the three people in the corner: "Do you think it's sweet?" ”

The three people who had also eaten the sugar gourd blinked, and Agarwood nodded expressionlessly: "Sweet." ”

"Ask your own maid not to count." Gu Liyi smiled and dragged Gu Mingxiu back, as if she remembered something, she suddenly sat up straight, "Okay, little brother, you don't raise Sister Xiu and don't support me, don't you?" ”

Gu Jing was not afraid of her pretending to be fierce at all, and asked with a smile: "The fifth sister, the fourth sister can't be married to me, do you want to marry or I will raise you?" ”

"Of course I ....."

“.……..”

Gu Liyi was stunned, covered her forehead and said aggrievedly: "Sister Xiu bullied me, forget it, it's over, and there will be another one more to bully me." ”
