Chapter Seventy-One: Impatient
All kinds of possibilities give rise to infinite reverie, sometimes warm and intimate, sometimes cold and alienated, making Gu Xiyan live in a trance like a year, but time did not stop because of this, but stopped quickly in the early morning of July 13 at a speed that Gu Xiyan couldn't detect.
Ding Cuiniang brought even worse news: Qi Yuzhi and those masters are gone!
Gu Xiyan was anxious, but he didn't dare to show it, and said with a smile: "Then we can only think of other ways after the celebration on July 14." ”
Ding Cuiniang hesitated: "The girl should come up with a way as soon as possible." I heard that the seventh master's younger brother is still locked up in Yandi's prison, and his life and death are unknown. ”
Gu Xiyan was a little surprised by Ding Cuiniang's calm words, but she still said sincerely, "Thank you." ”
Ding Cuiniang retreated silently.
Huilan came over to ask her: "Girl, this is still summer, although it is to clear the winter clothes, but Shengjing's winter jacket is ready, I think these wool coats are still put in the box first, if it snows today, it is not too late to take them out." ”
Gu Xiyan casually took the black fox fur that shimmered like a needle tip after shaking it away, and a bleak smile appeared on his face: "It didn't snow last winter, so let's take out your winter clothes and dry them!" After speaking, she turned around and instructed Mo Ju: "You go out for a walk with me, there are Huilan and Xinghong to clean up!" ”
Mo Ju answered, and tiptoed out of Beyuan behind Gu Xiyan.
Huilan stared at Mo Ju's back for a long time with a cold face
The two of them walked silently in the inner courtyard of the Gu Mansion one after the other, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the Dicui Pavilion of Xiuhe Garden. Gu Xiyan stood under the magnolia tree and looked at Dicui Pavilion blankly, his eyes were unfocused, and his expression was dazed.
Mo Ju stood behind her, standing silent.
The two of them stood quietly like this, this Ziyan Red and Zhong Yu Jingxiu had nothing to do with them, they were just standing here in a landscape, accompanied by the silence of the hundred-year-old trees...
Gu Xiyan had a broken gall in his mouth. Bitterness goes from the taste buds to the stomach and then from the stomach to the limbs. Gradually, I can't tell the taste. Many years ago, on that equally hot summer day, for the first time in his life, he flew to that coastal city and despised the girl with a haughty and reserved attitude. said indifferently: "I see...", then took off the platinum ring on his hand and threw it on the dining table, turning around with no nostalgia.
At that time, there was a raging fire burning in the heart, which was the anger after being deceived; Now, too, there is a raging fire burning in my heart... Qi Maosheng, Qi Hao... Tomorrow. You've got to show up, you've got to show up... You haven't given me an explanation yet, you can't just leave inexplicably...
The summer sun is getting hotter, and Mo Ju only feels that her hair is wet, and beads of sweat come out from her sideburns from time to time. She looked at Gu Xiyan a little anxiously, and reminded softly: "Girl, it's almost time for lunch!" ”
After a while, Gu Xiyan let out an "oh", came back to his senses, and said blankly: "Then, let's go!" ”
Mo Ju looked at Gu Xiyan's sun-scarlet cheeks, and led her through the shade back to Beyuan.
When Huilan saw it, he blamed Mo Ju for not serving Gu Xiyan properly. boiled water again to wash Gu Xiyan's hair, take a bath and change clothes.
Mo Ju smiled bitterly, didn't make a sound, and helped carry the water.
They were busy here, and Aunt Qin, accompanied by Mama Tian, suddenly came to visit Gu Xiyan, and Gu Xiyan packed up and sat down. Aunt Qin explained the intention of coming.
Originally. Aunt Qin had already found a house in Tongyifang near Dongshi, but during this time, Jingzhong was on guard. It's hard to move, and when tomorrow's celebration is over, they'll move. Today, I came to say goodbye to Mrs. Gu and thank her for taking care of her during this time, and secondly, I came to say goodbye to Gu Xiyan, and she didn't come on the day she moved.
Gu Xiyan sat for a long time and asked, "Mr. Huang, do you have any news?" ”
Aunt Qin smiled bitterly: "No." ”
Gu Xiyan was silent for a long time, and said faintly, "Colorful clouds are easy to disperse, glass is fragile", very sad, Aunt Qin also felt something, and reluctantly pulled out a smile on her face: "What the girl said is a good drama!" ”
For a while, he was relatively speechless.
Aunt Qin sighed, got up and said goodbye.
Duanniang sent Aunt Qin out, Aunt Qin walked to the door of Beyuan and looked back, looked at the courtyard full of shade Beyuan stood for a long time, and said softly to Duanniang: "Please tell the girl, thank you for your kindness, if there is any use to get the people of our longevity class, just open your mouth." ”
Duan Niang sneered in her heart. Amitayus Buddha, it's good to have people who haven't used your longevity class in your life! With a kind smile on his face: "I inherited the love of my aunt, this sentence must be brought." There's something else going on with the girl, so I'll send it not far away. ”
Aunt Qin left Beyuan gloomily, Duan Niang turned around and went back to the house, giving Mo Ju a look, a few little girls retreated knowingly, Duan Niang quietly said to Gu Xiyan: "According to your instructions, Mrs. told Madame, Madame asked me to say hello to the girl, if the girl has no disagreement, let Mama Tian pick two rooms from home as a companion room." ”
Gu Xiyan then remembered that he still had a lot to do. She cheered up and said, "Duanniang, I want Mo Ju to go with you." This girl is thoughtful and assertive, and if there is anything, you also have someone to discuss. ”
Duan Niang disagreed: "The girl's side has not been worded, and everyone has been scattered, who will go when the time comes." Let Mo Ju follow the girl. ”
"But I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of her then." Gu Xiyan also had her worries.
"It's better to make things clear to Mo Ju." Duan Niang said, "She is also a smart person, and she acts on her own initiative." ”
Gu Xiyan was shocked when he heard this, he used to always talk about team strength, but now he is such a big hurdle, how can he get through it by himself. Although it is a bit risky to explain the words to Mo Ju, it is better than letting her touch the elephant blindly. Being able to know the goal and give full play to his intelligence to achieve the goal is a good subordinate, and Mo Ju has never lacked such talents. It's time to put her to use!
Gu Xiyan nodded: "Then there is Aunt Lao!" ”
At night, Mo Ju is still on duty.
The moonlight is as pure as jade.
Gu Xiyan clasped her hands into fists on her chest and bowed her head in prayer, Mo Ju could vaguely hear her muttering: "... Virgin... Bless him tomorrow... I am willing to believe in you for the rest of my life..."After a long time, Gu Xiyan drew a cross on his chest.
Mo Ju looked at Gu Xiyan in surprise.
Girl, girl turned out to be a Christian...
Gu Xiyan raised his head and smiled at her, with a slight sorrow between his eyebrows: "Mo Ju, Duan Niang told you!" ”
Mo Ju restrained her surprise and nodded.
Gu Xiyan said: "You have to think clearly. A moment determines the life of a person. ”
Mo Ju smiled: "I listen to the girl." ”
Gu Xiyan looked at her with a melancholy gaze, her face was full of worry, and the self-striking bell was ticking in Mo Ju's ears, making the room seem more quiet. Mo Ju's face showed calmness for the first time, and she said half-teasing and half-sincerely: "People like us don't grab a lot of money in every house, it's rare for a girl to see it precious, and it's not in vain for me to go through this world." ”
"Ahh Gu Xiyan laughed in surprise. Is this considered to be a personal value and ignoring the risks of life?
On the 14th of July, it was a fine day, and there was still a little mist when I woke up in the morning, but it quickly dispersed.
Gu Xiyan felt that her eyelids were jumping hard as soon as she woke up in the morning, and she asked Mo Ju: "Is there a saying that the left eye jumps wealth and the right eye jumps disaster?" ”
Yes, Moju is a smart and clever person, although she doesn't know why Gu Xiyan is so abnormal these days, but she knows that Gu Xiyan has been worried about something happening, she smiled: "I haven't heard of this." ”
Gu Xiyan listened, she ran to the mirror to look in the mirror, and after a while, she beckoned to Mo Ju: "Come and show me, am my left eyelid jumping or my right eyelid jumping?" ”
Mo Ju walked over and looked at it very seriously, and then replied very seriously: "Girl, I don't think the girl's eyelids are jumping!" ”
Gu Xiyan listened and muttered, "Could it be the effect of the heart." ”
After a while, Gu Xiyan hurriedly ran to Xiuhe Garden, picked a moon flower, stood next to the flower garden and began to pull out the petals, one by one, while pulling back and saying "appear, don't appear, appear, don't appear...", pull to the last piece and read "appear", she will smile, but in a blink of an eye, she frowned again, and said, "This probability is too small, I'll try again", and then picked another flower and began to pull out the petals, while pulling it out and saying "Don't appear, appear, don't appear...", pull the last piece and become "don't appear". She turned pale and said, "No, the first time I said that it appeared, and the second time it should start from the appearance, this time it doesn't count...", after saying that, she picked another flower, and started to pull it again while saying "Appear, don't appear..."
The path next to the flower garden is full of falling red...
One morning, Gu Xiyan didn't know how many such strange things he had done.
During this period, Mo Ju was urged by her to go to the Hanging Flower Gate every once in a while to see if the lively little guy who was bought by Gu Xiyan for ten taels of silver came back.
When Mo Ju ran to the weeping flowers for the fourth time, he saw Liu Zuocheng who was happy: "Ouch, isn't this Mo Ju girl?" He greeted her with great enthusiasm, "The second girl is in the house?" ”
Mo Ju didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly gave Liu Zuocheng a blessing gift, shouted "Seventh Master", and said, "The girl is taking a walk in Xiuhe Garden!" ”
Liu Zuocheng smiled and said, "Then trouble the girl to report it, and say that I have something urgent to see." ”
Mo Ju responded and hurried in front of Liu Zuocheng to return to Gu Xiyan, who knew that when Gu Xiyan heard this, his face changed drastically, and he was uncertain.
Is it a blessing or a curse?
After being silent for a long time, she muttered, "Then, let's meet each other!" ”
