The preparations for the New Year in the house were all done thoroughly, pasting window flowers to prepare rice cakes and fruit cakes, everything was complete, Gu Mingzhu didn't have anything to worry about for a while, but was idle.

She simply went to the shops everywhere to take a look, and asked Mama Han to stay in the mansion with Ah Bi, and then the heads of the Zhuangzi who delivered New Year's goods from the Zhuangzi waited in the mansion.

I went to a few shops in the West Market, the stewards took care of it very well, and the New Year was approaching, and the business was booming, and the guests were like clouds, Gu Mingzhu took a look, and took the carriage to the East Market with satisfaction.

She couldn't understand why Dongshi was closer to the county lord's mansion, but she had to spare a whole circle in Chang'an City and finish all the other shops before coming to Dongshi.

It's just that there is a clear trace of anxiety and secret expectation in my heart.

Even when Xiaokui opened the curtain and looked out of the carriage, she couldn't help but glance out and take a few sneaky looks.

It's just that when the carriage stopped in front of the spice shop, Gu Mingzhu got out of the carriage, but saw that the window on the second floor of the pawn shop opposite was closed, and the door to the second floor was also closed.

Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, he wasn't there?

The loss in her heart spread little by little, she bit her lip, and walked towards the spice shop with Xiao Kui, no longer looking at the pawn shop.

It's just that after sitting in the spice shop for a while, her mind is not in the shop, and she was distracted by the steward and the very profitable account book, but Xiaokui called her softly before she came back to her senses.

"You have done a good job, you can do your errands with peace of mind, and I will not treat you badly." Gu Mingzhu put away the loss in her heart, chuckled and talked to the stewards, "The dividends of the New Year will not be less, it can be regarded as a reward for you." ”

The stewards were naturally overjoyed, thanked them again and again, and kept showing their loyalty.

Gu Mingzhu was still lacking in interest, and he couldn't keep his spirits up, so he went back to the county lord's mansion in a carriage.

It's just that as soon as I returned to the county lord's mansion, someone asked to see me in front of the mansion.

Gu Mingzhu listened to Mama Han's report and was stunned: "Is it Cui Qilang?" ”

Cui Yi turned out to be here.

Cui Yi, who was dressed in a dark embroidered cloud pattern silver robe and had a wicked smile on his face, entered the flower hall and smiled at Gu Mingzhu: "The layout in the county lord's mansion is very atmospheric and graceful, but it is the first time I have come back." ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at him, vaguely guessed his intention, his heart moved, and said with a smile: "Qilangjun is a rare guest, and it is rude to come to the door for the first time." ”

Cui Yi sat down on the couch with a big grin, looked at the tea soup that was served, and said with a bitter face: "I have been busy these days, and the tea soup has been poured into my stomach." ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled and ordered Xiao Kui to change the hot cheese to come up, and then smiled and said, "Is there anything important about Qilang-kun's return?" ”

Cui Yi took a bite, looked up at Gu Mingzhu, and smiled evilly: "What if I said that I came to see the county lord and come over to catch up with the old days?" ”

Gu Mingzhu rolled his eyes in his heart, and his face was still calm: "Then Qilangjun, please speak, I'll just listen." ”

Seeing that she was not in a hurry at all with a smile, Cui Yi pursed her lips and said stupidly: "You are as boring as the fifth brother, and you can't take the bait no matter how funny." ”

He took a box from the servant's hand and sent it to Gu Mingzhu: "The fifth brother asked me to send it, and he sent A-Niang back to Boling." ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at the box, the flush on her face slowly climbed up, and the original loss became a little sweet, and it was heartwarmed.

It's just that in front of Cui Yi, she was embarrassed to take it, but she turned her face away: "Where did he go, why did he come to know with me." ”

Cui Yi saw that there was something coming at this time, and put down the box with a smile: "It's me who has a lot of things, I'm idle to talk to the county lord, the fifth brother is gone, His Royal Highness is also busy these days, thinking about it, only the county lord is a person who can talk, so I'll take a walk." ”

After eating two bites of crisp cheese, he got up: "Okay, the wind and snow are heavy again, I will go back to the palace to eat and drink, and then I will leave." ”

He acted most wantonly, walking the same as coming, without any rules, so he said goodbye and walked into the snow.

Gu Mingzhu asked people to send him out, but he looked at the box on the table, and he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, he went back to Boling to send Mrs. Cui away, but he was still thinking about letting Cui Yi send this, and came to tell her where he went, does this mean that he cares about himself very much?

As soon as she thought of this, Gu Mingzhu's face turned red to the root of her ears, what was she thinking about, and she actually remembered this.

She couldn't help but reach out to open the box, and when she looked at the contents inside, she couldn't help but sit there for a while without moving, and it took a long time to pick it up and put it in front of her eyes.

There was a lotus lamp inside, which was a little old, and the red glaze had faded a little white, but it looked so familiar.

It was the first lotus lantern she put down during the Chinese Valentine's Day, and finally moved with the waves, fell at Cui Lin's feet, and was picked up by him, so that they had a conversation later, and put the lotus lantern together.

She didn't remember this lotus lantern for a long time, but she had already lost it, but she didn't expect Cui Lin to treasure it for so long, so good, he really liked her, even one of her inconspicuous little things was so carefully treasured, is there anyone who cherishes himself more than him?

Gu Mingzhu took the lotus lamp, her mind was confused, and she sat there motionless.

He had always been helping her, protecting her, cherishing her, just as he had said to her that day, in fact, he had done so long before that.

After a long time, she put the lotus lantern back in the box and called Ah Bi in: "Put it away." ”

He also instructed Xiaokui: "Go and prepare Dayu, go to the General's Mansion." ”

He has done so much for her, although there are still many obstacles ahead, but she can't bear to let him face it alone, and after letting him solve everything, she nodded and agreed.

She is also willing to move forward, as long as the two people walk in the opposite direction, they will definitely be able to meet.

Waiting for Xiaokui to tie a Zhaojun set to her, holding the stove, accompanied by Ah Bi, Gu Mingzhu strode into the wind and snow and walked towards the general's mansion.

The servant of the General's Mansion was surprised when he saw Gu Mingzhu coming, hurriedly saluted, opened the door and welcomed her in, and quickly went in to pass the word.

When Mao got the news, he was also surprised, not to say that he came again on Chinese New Year's Eve, why did he come today, could it be that there was something urgent?

She took her mother and maid out, but saw Gu Mingzhu standing under the corridor in a daze, but those eyes were bright and breathtaking.

"County Lord, is there something going on?"

Gu Mingzhu raised her head and smiled at her: "No, I'm here to see my father, I have something to say to him." ”
