Chapter XI
The maid walked out of the house for a long time with a red paper lantern, and said to Mingshu resignedly: "There is no water chestnut cake in the house, it seems that the cousin has made a mistake." ”
Mingshu's tender white fingers pinched the flower stalks, and the flowers were resting on the corners of her lips, which was very cute.
She tilted her face to look at the maid, her star-like eyes were very bright and clear, and she blinked, then wrinkled her nose and said, "I remember clearly." The kitchen will deliver pastries every day, and I heard about the water chestnut cake delivered today. Mingshu's tone was soft, but very clear, "Also, how can you say that the master is wrong?" If you follow other masters in the future, you will be slapped in the mouth. "Pause," or sell it directly, the little peach at home is like that. ”
The maid knelt in front of Mingshu and hurriedly defended, "Cousin, I'...... I, I didn't know I had a water chestnut cake today......"
Mingshu was looking at the ground obliquely, and naturally knew that the place where she knelt was full of pebbles. The maid didn't care so much in a hurry, and knelt down with the strength to pull out the mountain and cover the world.
It hurts to think about it, and Mingshu is relieved. So he got up with the flower branch and smiled at the maid: "Okay, okay, I know you didn't steal food." ”
"......" the maid was so embarrassed that she wanted to stuff her face into the cracks in the pebbles.
Mingshu really didn't plan to continue to care, she took the lantern by herself, walked out of the courtyard happily, and went all the way to the courtyard where Gu Huali was placed.
Gu Huali lives in Luomei Courtyard, which is more spacious than the Red Xuan Pavilion, but not as exquisite as the Red Xuan.
When Mingshu walked in, she felt empty and dark, and she didn't have much popularity. She waited at the door with a lantern for a while, and Gu Huali's cough came from inside, "Come in." ”
He still held a book in his hand, which was now hanging down and half-hidden in his wide sleeve. The warm yellow candle flame shone on the side of his face, half dark and half warm, handsome and distant.
Ming Shu suddenly connected him with Gu Huali, who later destroyed the Gu family, and the joy in his heart was suddenly extinguished.
"Fifth brother is living well?" Mingshu said dryly.
He nodded almost invisibly, and pointed to the brand new chair next to him, as if he was about to walk over and sit down.
Mingshu also walked over to sit down, the maid served her a cup of hot tea, Mingshu lowered her eyelashes and drank slowly, and Gu Huali sent the rest away.
"Tell me more about today." His gaze fell on the scroll, and his expression and tone were very calm.
Ask her what this does? But Mingshu still explained in a few words, and probably many people knew about it.
He looked at the little girl with an indifferent face, and explained a few words without being salty. Mingshu felt bored and nodded casually.
After training the maid, Mingshu was in a good mood for the time being, put down the tea bowl in her hand, and suddenly asked, "Fifth brother, do you like the Gu family?" As soon as the words came out, he felt inappropriate, so he hurriedly added, "The Li family is my grandfather's family, but it's ......"
Hearing Mingshu's first words, his expression changed slightly, and then as usual. But when the second sentence came out, Gu Huali looked at Mingshu quietly for a while before he said, "What kind of person are you willing to be?" His hand subconsciously clenched the scroll.
The little girl's cheeks were round and white, a few strands of black hair, and her eyes were clean and bright. It should be a clean and bright person.
Mingshu lowered her eyes and looked at his hand, unable to speak for a while.
When she just came back from rebirth, she couldn't wait to kill Gu Huali directly, so that she would not have the right to subordinate Gu Huali in the future, and it was impossible for the Gu family to be destroyed.
But this idea, can only think about playing.
Today's Gu Huali is just a very outstanding teenager. What's more, he was even willing to save her, and even willing to send her to the Li family.
"I don't know." But I thought in my heart, it doesn't matter what kind of person you are, as long as you can protect yourself and important people. Mingshu raised her face to look at Gu Huali, and suddenly smiled: "But Fifth Brother is a very powerful person!" "For good and evil, he is indeed powerful.
He had a faint look, but at this time he was a little gentler, put down the scroll and said, "It's late at night." ”
"......" is really fast and direct.
Mingshu was a little embarrassed, coughed, pushed away the teacup in his hand and said, "Then I will leave." Then he stood up and saluted.
Before she finished speaking, Mingshu was a little angry in her heart, so she walked neatly. In three or two steps, you are already about to be discharged from the hospital.
Who knew that Gu Huali's voice behind him suddenly sounded, "Wait." ”
Mingshu paused suspiciously, and saw the young man striding towards him, and the moonlight fell up, frost-soaked and snow-stained cold and handsome.
He had a cloak of silver-gray squirrel skin lining in his hand, and with a slight lift of his hand, he put it on Mingshu's shoulder. Said: "It's a little big, be careful on the road." ”
He didn't say anything anymore, as if waiting for Mingshu to say goodbye again.
Mingshu suddenly magically felt that his fifth brother was actually a very good person.
Moreover, she is the only one who knows that he is good.
So Mingshu took a step forward, tugged at his sleeve and shook it, like a little girl and her brother were coquettish, bent her eyebrows and smiled happily: "Fifth brother, then I'll go first!" ”
Before Gu Huali could come back to his senses, Mingshu jumped out of the distance, like a white glutinous glutinous rice ball bouncing on a black plate.
His expression was also a little softer, and a sentence passed through his mind - what kind of person would you like to be? I couldn't help frowning again.
……
On the second day, Mingshu still got up early in the morning, cleaned up, and went to the old lady to wait.
Shortly after Mingshu left yesterday, Zhao hurriedly came to comfort the old lady and said some good things for Mingshu. When the old lady saw Mingshu today, her expression was much calmer.
Mingshu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
The old lady's spirit was better, she drank half a bowl of bird's nest porridge today, and picked up two small steamed buns with walnut cream, Mingshu stood behind her and served to eat, even if it was past breakfast.
Helping the old man to sit on the Luohan bed, the old lady lowered her eyes to look at Mingshu who gave her a pillow, and said leisurely: "Your mother was much more squeamish than you when she was a child. "I didn't move today.
Mingshu's white and tender hand paused slightly, "My grandmother loves my mother, so she is naturally doing well." "She used to be squeamish, but now she's not squeamish all the time.
The old lady is not a fool, a small child, a sister and brother who has no parents and no siblings, and even her grandmother feels disgusting to her.
It's extremely pitiful.
She sighed, stroked the top of Mingshu's hair and said, "It would be nice if my sister Lan was still here." "No matter how pitiful it is, no one is more important than her own daughter.
Mingshu's nose was a little sour, and when she saw the old man looking at her, she looked at her with hatred and pity, and her heart seemed to be being twisted with a knife.
"Grandmother......" Mingshu turned her face away and suddenly wanted to give up.
