Gu Shanchang and Xie Mingxi have been apprentices for several years, accompanied day and night, and their relationship is harmonious, which is much better than the intimacy between mother and daughter. Naturally, Xie Mingxi was reluctant to leave the academy.

"Mingxi, I can't bear you either." Gu Shanchang sighed softly: "It's just that you are the daughter of the Xie family." It doesn't hurt to study in the academy and live with me, but if you stay in the academy and don't return to Xie's house after graduation, you can't be honest. ”

"Besides, you are not young, and you will be married next year, and you will have to embroider the dowry. Staying in the academy is inconvenient everywhere. ”

"I know you can't bear me living alone in the Lotus Pond Academy. When I have time, I often come to talk to me, so I don't have to live in the academy. Let's go back to Xie Mansion! ”

Xie Mingxi said, "I won't go back." ”

Gu Shanchang: "......"

"Master, I've thought about all your concerns." Xie Mingxi quickly continued: "I have already discussed with my father in private, and I will go back for a few days when the ceremony comes." The rest of the time, until I got married, I lived in the college. The father had agreed. ”

Gu Shanchang was stunned again, and subconsciously asked, "Your father really agreed?" ”

Xie Mingxi nodded.

It is not difficult to convince Xie Jun.

Half a month ago, she mentioned this matter to Xie Jun.

Xie Jun was a little reluctant at first, feeling that spreading it would hinder the reputation of the Xie family.

She smiled slightly: "The closer I get to Master, the more the Queen Mother will look at me differently in the future." Our Xie family has a shallow foundation, far inferior to the maiden families of the rest of the princesses. What I have done better than them is that I have a good master. That being the case, I should be closer to Master. ”

"I know my father is worried that I have been living in the academy and not being close enough to my family."

"If you are worried about this, your father doesn't have to. My surname is Xie, I am the daughter of the Xie family, and my blood is thicker than water, no matter when it is. I will not be estranged from my father and grandfather. ”

"Now the eldest brother is recuperating in the Grange, and the second sister lives alone in the county lord's mansion and refuses to return to Xie's house. The fourth sister and the fifth brother are still young, and I will take care of them in the future. Father just rest assured. ”

Xie Jun is nothing more than worried that her daughter is not close to her family and is not intimate, and she will marry in the future and her mother's family will be indifferent and unwilling to carry her.

After she made a promise, Xie Jun was quickly persuaded and said, "That's it, you have always had your own opinions. Now that you have thought clearly, it is up to you. You're done with your studies and you have a lot of free time, so you might as well go home often. ”

……

Xie Mingxi nodded, and Gu Shanchang immediately stretched his brows, and a smile welled up in his eyes.

Xie Mingxi was rarely naughty, and made a grimace with a smile: "Master wants to let me go early, but it's not that easy." I have to rely on Master for another year or two. ”

Gu Shanchang's heart was hot, and he reached out and stroked Xie Mingxi's hair.

It wasn't until he stretched out his hand that he realized that at some point, Xie Mingxi was as tall as himself.

Gu Shanchang couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Time flies so fast. I still remember when you first entered the Lotus Pond Academy, and in a blink of an eye, you have already graduated. ”

Isn't it?

Xie Mingxi was also a little embarrassed: "Yes! I also feel like time flies. ”

There is no feast in the world. She understands this truth better than anyone else. can be separated from classmates, and it is still so difficult to give up. No matter how calm she is, she is indifferent and cold-blooded, and she has the urge to cry again and again today.

It's just that she's good at covering up, and no one notices.

Gu Shanchang seemed to have a glimpse of her thoughts, and sighed softly: "You, you are just too strong." If you want to cry, you can cry, is there still someone who laughs at you? ”

Xie Mingxi's nose was slightly sour, and the warm liquid rolled in his eye sockets, but it didn't fall off for a long time.

Gu Shanchang couldn't help but sigh: "You girl, in front of the master, you still have to hold on." Stretching out his arms, he gently took Xie Mingxi into his arms.

The two tears in Xie Mingxi's eyes quickly slipped down. Then, two more drops......

After crying silently for a while, Xie Mingxi's agitated mood finally calmed down. She wiped away her tears with some confusion and stood up straight: "It's getting late, Master should rest early!" ”

is so black-hearted and thick-faced on weekdays, but at this time I am embarrassed to shed a few tears.

Gu Shanchang chuckled silently, nodded, and turned to leave.

Xie Mingxi's mind was churning, and he couldn't calm down for a while, so he stood in place for a moment before going to the clean room to bathe and change clothes. By the time he went to sleep, it was past the hour of his son.

Today's emotions were so agitated that she thought she would inevitably stay through the night. When his head touched the pillow, the drunken spirit that had been pressed down by the medicine quietly came up, and he fell asleep quickly.

……

The winter days and nights are long, and when it comes to the fifth watch, the sky is still dark and gloomy.

Xie Mingxi, as usual, woke up on the fifth watch. Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly remembered that she had finished her course. There is no need to wake up early to read today.

Let's go back to sleep!

Xie Mingxi closed his eyes again, but he couldn't sleep. Laughing helplessly, he simply got up and stayed.

Knowing the sound of Suosuo's dressing, he woke up Congyu, who was sleeping on the small collapse.

"Miss, why did you wake up so early!" From the jade bone turned up, shook his head vigorously, and tried to open his eyes wide: "The slave maid waits for the young lady to change clothes." ”

Xie Mingxi smiled casually: "I'm used to getting up early, and I can't sleep if I want to, so I just get up and walk around at will." You don't have to wait. ”

How can this work?

Congyu immediately stepped forward, took the comb from Xie Mingxi's hand, and combed Xie Mingxi's hair.

Ye Qiuniang is also accustomed to preparing breakfast every day at the fifth watch.

Xie Mingxi freshened up and dressed neatly, and the hot breakfast was delivered.

The chicken broth that had been simmering all night was skimmed off and only the clear, hot soup remained. The strong hand-rolled dough is very finely stretched, and then some green fresh and tender vegetable leaves are put to look light and taste fragrant and delicious.

After eating the hot chicken noodle soup, the whole person warmed up.

At this time, the sky is slightly bright.

Xie Mingxi pushed the door out and exhaled deeply, the unique clean and cold breath of winter penetrated into his mouth, and it was extremely comfortable.

As usual, she went to the stable first and fed the bean cake and water to her beloved horse Treadsnow. Then ride out of the academy on snow.

Treading snow is confined to the stable every day, and only in the early morning can I go out to have fun like this, which is quite cheerful.

After about two incense sticks, Xie Mingxi turned around.

By this time, the sky had dawned, and the soft morning light was falling. At the entrance of Lianchi Academy, there was also a gradual movement, and students came one after another.

Xie Mingxi walked to the school.

The spacious and tidy school building looks empty and deserted today.

In the coming year, new students will come to the school. From this time until the end of the year, it will always be empty.

Xie Mingxi sat down in his place, picked up the book, and read it silently.

Footsteps rang out at the door.

Xie Mingxi raised his head, and when he saw the person coming clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Why are you here?" ”
