(32) Sister-in-law?
"Hey, Master Gu, why are you standing here?"
When approaching Hai, Lian Qingwan was in a happy mood and returned to the house humming a little song. But when she was about to go back to the room and passed by her brother's garden, she saw Gu Caizhi standing in the garden, with his hands behind his back and his head up, looking at the bright moon in the sky a little blankly.
"Ahh Haven't slept so late? ”
Gu Caizhi retracted his gaze and looked at the girl not far away.
"No, I ...... Just got back from outside. Lian Qingwan smiled, "Lord Gu won't leave tonight, right?" ”
"Yes."
was asked by a girl's family, Gu Caizhi was more or less uncomfortable.
"Where's my brother? Why didn't I come out to accompany you? ”
Lian Qingwen slowly approached Gu Caizhi, stood side by side with him, and asked.
"He just drank a little wine, and he was a little drunk, so he went to sleep first."
Gu Caizhi replied.
"Oh, actually, my brother's alcohol consumption is not good at all." Even Qingwen looked up at the night sky, "Because he hasn't drunk much since he had a cold illness." However, drinking less can also help him get rid of the cold. ”
"Oh." Gu Caizhi responded: "Is it true that he can't be cured of this cold disease?" ”
"Back then, the emperor invited Qin Sangzi, a famous doctor from Bo Yanguo, to see his brother, but Qin Sangzi said that he could only recuperate, not cure." Lian Qingwen sighed, "Actually, if my brother can rest well every day and pay attention to keeping warm in all seasons, this cold disease will not be so tricky, and my brother's body will not be so weak." ”
"Then why was he so sick the previous year?"
Although Gu Caizhi already had a guess in his heart, he still asked.
"Alas, it's not because the emperor got a priest three years ago. Originally, my family was just an ordinary eunuch family, and my grandfather and father were both officials when they were alive, and they were not involved in court disputes. But three years ago, the emperor set up the Duxing Division because he couldn't bear the Prime Minister's control of the six ministries, and then because his brother had saved him desperately when he was a child, he handed over the Duxing Division to his brother to take care of. But since my brother entered this department, he has been both physically and mentally distressed, and his body has naturally deteriorated year by year. ”
Every time I mentioned this, even Qingwu was dissatisfied.
"I really don't know if the emperor really values his brother when he does this, or if he wants to ...... it on purpose"
Although Lian Qingwen stopped talking before she finished speaking, Gu Caizhi already understood what she meant.
"Ah Wan, don't worry, in the future, I will help him."
Gu Caizhi looked at the worried girl beside him and said word by word.
"Well, hehe, how fortunate my brother is to meet you." Lian Qingwan turned her head to look at Gu Caizhi, "Then, Master Gu, why are you so young that the emperor asked you to serve as the secretary of the Criminal Department?" ”
"Me?" Gu Caizhi was stunned for a moment, as if reminiscing, while saying: "My parents died when I was a child, and I ran around to make a living, but fortunately I met a private school gentleman, who was very good, not only gave me food and clothing, but also taught me to read and write, and later I recognized him as my father-in-law." ”
Speaking of this, Gu Caizhi paused.
"Later, my father-in-law died, I took over from him, and continued to teach children to read and write in the private school, and then one year I accidentally met the emperor who went out on patrol in micro-clothes, he said that he appreciated my talent, so he took me to this Qiluo City, and let me teach those eunuchs to read in the royal academy. But last year, because my predecessor was killed in an accident while going out, the emperor ordered me to take over the post of secretary of the Criminal Department. ”
"It turns out that Lord Gu's life is also so bumpy."
Lian Qingwen stretched out her hand and patted Gu Caizhi's shoulder arrogantly.
"After that, I will protect my brother and you even Qingwen."
"Lady ......"
Hearing this, Gu Caizhi couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Hey, don't believe me." Lian Qingwan clenched her fists, "Since my brother was sick, in order to protect him, I have worshipped a famous teacher and learned martial arts, otherwise why do you think I can be on duty in the Criminal Prison Division." ”
"Ah Wan is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go."
Gu Caizhi couldn't help admiring the girl beside him from the bottom of his heart, and said.
"That's it."
Even Qingwan didn't push back.
"Then if you don't mind, in the future, call me brother."
Gu Caizhi raised his hand and brushed away the hair that the wind had blown on his face.
"Haha, are you sure you want me to call you brother?"
Lian Qingwen smiled and looked at Gu Caizhi, who was a little unclear.
"That'...... What does Ah Wan want to call me? ”
Gu Caizhi looked at Lian Qingwu, who was smiling with a little ill will, suspiciously.
"Since you are with my brother, then I, as my sister, should naturally call you...... Sister-in-law. ”
"Sister-in-law...... Sister-in-law? ”
Hearing this title, Gu Caizhi was obviously a little broken. No wonder these two people are brothers and sisters, they are both people who can kill people with a word.
"Yes, sister-in-law." Lian Qingwan smiled deliciously: "Since you and my brother are in love and have a heart-to-heart relationship, when are you going to marry into our family?" ”
"Who said I was going to marry into your family?"
Gu Caizhi said in a muffled voice.
"Huh? Have you changed your mind? My brother said you were going to marry ......"
"He doesn't count."
Interrupting Lian Qingjue's words a little anxiously, Gu Caizhi silently made a note for Lian Qingjue in his heart.
"Uh-huh, he doesn't count."
Lian Qingwan glanced at the door of the house, yawned, and said, "It's not early, I'm going to sleep, and I'll be on duty tomorrow." ”
"Well, let's get some rest early."
Gu Caizhi looked at Lian Qingwan with some doubts with a strange look, but unexpectedly, as soon as Lian Qingwan left with his front foot, he fell into a cool, but full of familiar embrace.
"What did you just say?"
"Huh?"
Gu Caizhi was surprised, when did this person wake up? Then it became clear again, no wonder Ah Wan's expression was so strange just now, she had already seen this person standing at the door.
"Say that just now, say it again."
Lian Qingjue hugged him tightly from behind Gu Caizhi and said softly.
"Which word?"
Gu Caizhi pretended not to know.
"Looks like I need to be reminded?"
After Lian Qingjue finished speaking, without waiting for Gu Caizhi's reaction, he twisted Gu Caizhi's head with his hand and kissed it deeply.
"Ah...... Jue ......"
Gu Caizhi called softly, and then all his reason was gradually lost in this deep kiss little by little.
