Chapter 157: A Thousand Miles of Apricot Blossoms
Liu Bing got up very early today.
Dressed in silver armor and cloaked in crimson. There are not many people in the martial arts training ground, and they hunt in clothes and style with one move, and they are majestic.
The silver spear suddenly stabbed out, and the murderous aura froze. Gu Huali avoided it suddenly, pressed the handle of the gun with his backhand, and slapped the head of the gun in a flash, and then stood still.
"I said why did you just run to the border line." Liu Bing slowly put away the gun and smiled a little narrowly.
Gu Huali didn't have any expression on his face, he only raised his eyes and said, "I came today to say goodbye to you." ”
Liu Bing was stunned for a moment and said, "Why?" ”
Gu Huali was silent, and only said after a while: "But if I go back for half a month, if there is any urgency at that time, I am also in the Tao." ”
Now the Xiongnu can't breathe for the time being, and there is absolutely no war in the northwest for a while.
Liu Bing couldn't help but ask a few more words, "What are you going to do?" ”
The expression between Gu Huali's eyebrows lightened a little, and said, "I'll talk about it then." ”
Liu Bing became more and more curious, and laughed: "Isn't it going to give you Zhang Luo's family?" ”
He pressed his forehead and looked tired, "What nonsense?" I'm leaving. ”
Liu Bing was originally going to laugh, but when he looked at Gu Huali's expression, he suddenly couldn't laugh. Gu Huali's whole person was too depressed, like a cold ink block.
The Gu family really only Ling Ling is the most likeable.
At this time, it was May, the northwest was cold, and the apricot blossoms in the side garden bloomed and fell spontaneously beside the bleak official road, which was also bright and deserted.
Gu Huali rode a jujube red horse and slept all the way.
When I happened to see the apricot blossoms blooming just right on the branches, I couldn't help but feel a move in my heart. The branch still carries the dew that has not melted in the morning, and the buds are half-hidden, which is really bright and beautiful, and it is three points deserted.
As soon as his heart moved, he thought of the obedient and cold young sister at home.
Gu Huali suddenly tightened the reins, urged the horse to turn around, broke off the best blooming apricot blossom under the tree, and carefully carried it behind him.
Only then did Gu Huali flick his horsewhip and get back on the road.
……
Mingshu has experienced too many messy things recently, and she misses Gu Huali a little.
Speaking of which, in the entire Gu family, only her grandmother and fifth brother are what she dares to believe. Only these two people can make her feel a little stable.
It's just that Gu Huali disappeared as soon as he went to Canglang Academy, and the third cousin would come to the house on time, but the fifth brother never had a shadow.
Ming Shu thought about it, but still found a few pieces of cloth from the warehouse, and planned to make Xia Yituo's third cousin and bring it to the fifth brother.
She chose a fine blue wishful sarong, and planned to make him a robe. In short, she was idle, so she simply asked Hongli to light the candle, and the two began to cut cloth under the lamp.
In the second half of the night, Hongli couldn't bear it, but Mingshu was still full of energy, she simply drove Hongli to sleep, and continued to tailor clothes under the lamp.
In the end, she couldn't help but doze off while cutting, Mingshu was too lazy to go back to sleep, so she slipped on the small table and squinted, planning to simply wait for the dawn to wash her face before sleeping.
……
When Gu Huali arrived in Kyoto, the sky in Chang'an was not yet bright, and a little fish belly white in the distance had just been revealed, and it was pitch black.
He climbed over the wall and went in with ease, and the apricot blossoms on his back had not yet withered, and even brought morning dew.
Gu Huali stood in the courtyard for a while, as if he was thinking about something. He rarely hesitated about one thing, but he didn't know why, he couldn't make up his mind today.
After thinking about it for a while, he still quietly walked outside Chanjuan Courtyard.
The window of Mingshu's room was in front of him, Gu Huali hesitated for a while, and pushed the window open a crack with a creak......
Mingshu leaned on the small table and fell asleep soundly, and when she heard a slight creaking, she was startled.
She jerked her head up, only to realize that the candle had burned out and gone out, and the room was pitch black.
The window seemed to have been pushed open, and the faint light outside leaked in a little, but it was too faint and dark, and Mingshu still couldn't see anything clearly.
There was a faint fragrance in the air, which seemed to come from the window.
Mingshu's heart was beating wildly, and she was scared and dazed.
She knew there was someone outside the window, but if she screamed, that person could come in and kill him immediately. If she doesn't call ...... Just waiting for the man to come in, as still passive.
"Who is it?"
Mingshu's voice was a little trembling.
Gu Huali was stunned for a moment, and the apricot blossom in his hand almost fell, but fortunately, he was calm.
The two seemed to be silently stalemate for a while, and Mingshu took a few steps forward, holding a single hairpin in her hand. The hairpin was sharpened and used for self-defense, so she wouldn't take it off even when she slept.
But the person outside the window pushed open the window one step ahead of her, and even said, "Lingling." The tone seemed a little helpless, and a little tired.
Mingshu was stunned for a moment, and the hairpin in her hand fell to the ground.
"Fifth brother?"
At this time, the sky was already halfway bright, and in the half-bright light, Gu Huali was covered in dust, and no matter how handsome his face was, he couldn't hide his embarrassment. He held a half-opened and half-wilted apricot blossom in his hand, and his expression seemed a little dazed and uncomfortable.
The corners of Mingshu's lips couldn't be suppressed anymore, and she curled up quickly, and said, "Why did the fifth brother come back?" ”
Gu Huali seemed to wake up suddenly, his expression returned to his previous coldness, and said, "Then I'll go back and freshen up." ”
"Wait."
Gu Huali's steps paused.
Mingshu smiled with a pair of eyes very bright, and there was still a handful of dull hair on her head that had been pressed up by sleep, and her eyebrows and eyes were crooked: "The apricot blossom hasn't been given to me yet." ”
Gu Huali's expression stiffened, and he handed the apricot blossom in his hand to Mingshu with some embarrassment, and said in a calm tone: "It's cold in the northwest, and the apricot blossoms only begin to bloom in May." I thought that there were no more apricot blossoms in Kyoto, so I brought you one. ”
Mingshu put the flower branch to the tip of her nose and said, "I like it very much." ”
Gu Huali nodded, turned around and left.
Mingshu had no choice but to hurriedly ask again: "Fifth brother, when are you leaving this time?" ”
Gu Huali said: "About half a month." ”
Mingshu didn't ask anything anymore.
When Hongli heard the movement, she came over sleepily and said, "Lady, what are you muttering?" ”
Mingshu was afraid that Hongli would ask when she saw Xinghua, so she had to turn her back to Hongli and said, "I'm hungry, I'm so hungry...... Why can't Mama Du get out of bed, I want to eat small wontons, walnuts, steamed buns, goose fat rolls......"
Red Tate's almost didn't laugh.
Mingshu had no choice but to glare at her resentfully, and said, "Then you go and boil some hot water for me, and I'll freshen up and catch up on sleep." ”
Seeing Mingshu like this, Hongli also knew that she hadn't slept for a while, and she was so distressed that she couldn't take care of Mingshu while talking about Mingshu, and she couldn't care about making up for her sleep, so she went directly to the small kitchen to boil water for Mingshu.
Mingshu turned around with an apricot blossom in her arms, her eyes still shining.
She opened the cabinet, turned out a beautiful crystal vase, planted the apricot blossoms, and then rolled them into the quilt, waiting for the red knotweed to boil water to rub her face.
