Chapter Ninety-Five: The Snowy Night of Hongtai (Part II)
It was Duan Yingluo who stopped the words: "Miss Gu, you can go to the kang."
Liu Mei'er also helped on the side: "Miss Gu, we will still have a long time together in the future, so don't be polite." After speaking, he actually went to the kang to make a bed for Gu Xiyan in person.
That's too polite!
Gu Xiyan cheered up and carefully entertained.
She smiled and pulled Liu Mei'er, insisting on refusing to let her make the bed herself, Qiu Gui relieved the siege on the side, and she went to make the kang. After moving the kang and laying out two mattresses, Gu Xiyan said a few more polite words, chose a kang head that was closer to the higher temperature, sat down and scattered his hair to let it dry early.
Qiu Gui turned around and put down the tent, ready to wait for Duan Yingluo to wash, but Duan Yingluo politely refused: "It's not early, let's all go and rest." Especially Qiu Gui, thank you very much! ”
Qiu Gui hurriedly politely said.
Liu Mei'er saw that Duan Yingluo's attitude was sincere, and she didn't insist anymore, she accompanied Duan Yingluo to talk for a while when those mothers-in-law were packing up their things, and after those mothers-in-law's things were packed up, they also said goodbye and returned to Qiu Gui's house.
The kang in the Qiugui house burned vigorously. Qiu Gui entered the house and waited for Liu Mei'er to take off her big hat, and said softly: "Girl, let the mother-in-law also carry a bucket of hot water for the girl to clean up!" ”
Liu Meier frowned slightly: "No! ”
Qiu Gui lowered his head and hung the big on the hanger.
Liu Mei'er sighed, and the two of them got on the kang speechlessly and blew the lamp.
The snow outside the house was reflected through the glass windows, and the room was filled with a silver light.
After a while, Liu Mei'er said softly: "Qiu Gui, am I pretty?" ”
Qiu Gui knew that there was something in this. Pretended to smile lightly: "I have never seen anyone more beautiful than a girl when I am so old!" ”
Liu Mei'er sighed lightly: "I used to think so, but ...... He even said it was uncomfortable! ”
Qiu Gui sat up in surprise and shouted "girl".
For a long time, Liu Meier didn't make a sound. Qiu Gui was hesitating to say something, and Liu Mei'er choked up and said, "Start well, just like Mama taught...... I. He, when he untied my clothes, I was so scared, so I pushed him...... He sank his face and got up to leave...... I, I, I had to pull his sleeve in spite of shame. Who knew that he would look at me coldly like that, and I was terrified. And the tears flowed...... I'd heard before that he had a bad temper, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. Seeing me shed tears, he not only didn't ...... On the contrary, I became even more impatient and shouted that someone wanted to send me back...... I remembered my aunt's instructions, and in a panic, I knelt there...... The personal servant he brought was Si'an, who used to drink with his brother, and I had seen him once or twice. He also knows my land. Si'an said a few words in a low voice, he, he actually said it in front of Si'an. said, he, he doesn't like ......" with a little shame, a little grievance, a little helpless, a little panic.
Qiu Gui was surprised: "That." Isn't that girl ......?"
Liu Mei'er burst into tears: "Me." I didn't make it to bed...... Moreover, Grandpa Guo said. Let that girl Duan send me back to Yongzhou tomorrow...... I met my aunt, but what should I do...... She wants to kiss and kiss wholeheartedly, and if my father finds out, he will definitely punish me heavily! ”
Qiu Gui grew up with Liu Meier since she was a child, and the girl in her own family has a weak personality, she knows it best. If this is not the case, the five young ladies of the Liu family, speaking of which, the fourth miss Liu Yue'er and the fifth miss Liu Mei'er are only nine months apart, and they are a few more beautiful than Liu Mei'er, why did they choose Liu Mei'er instead of Liu Yue'er, it is not because she is "well-behaved".
But after all, this is a matter involving the dignity of the Liu family, what qualifications does she, a little maidservant, have to speak.
Qiu Gui only remained silent.
Liu Mei'er was worried: "Qiu Gui, or, or tomorrow you can help me to intercede with him, let him re-me, let me ......" But I can't say anything.
Qiu Gui couldn't cry or laugh: "Girl, where can I speak in front of Grandpa Guo!" ”
Liu Meier was very flustered: "Then what should I do?" So what to do? ”
Qiu Gui had to comfort her: "Girl, blessings and misfortunes come to you, and disasters and blessings depend on you." Maybe that's a good thing, isn't it? ”
Liu Mei'er opened her eyes wide, and Qiu Gui said, "The girl can just go back to the master." It's not that the young lady is unwilling, but the grandfather of the country is unwilling. What else can the master ......?"
Liu Mei'er broke into a smile: "Yes, it's not that I don't want to...... Father had nothing to say then. ”
Qiu Gui hesitated for a while, and said hesitantly: "Who is that Duan girl!" ”
Liu Mei'er has been worried about the things she has been worried about, and her mood has improved a lot, she said softly: "I was kneeling in the inner room, my mind was blank, I only knew that I had messed things up, and I still paid attention to other movements. Later, the person gradually eased his breath, and only heard the footsteps in the outer room, and thought that the master had lost his temper and wanted to drag me out......" Speaking of this, she smiled wryly, "Later, I heard him speak in a calm tone, I felt cold on my body, and I shivered and gathered my clothes, and after a while, I heard the master call me, I went out to take a look, and saw Miss Duan standing beside the master with her hands down, the lord's face was ugly, and I didn't dare to ask anything." Ye pointed to Miss Duan and said to me Give them your bed, you will follow Miss Duan back to Yongzhou tomorrow, as soon as I heard it, if I was amnestied, where would I dare to speak, and I hurriedly followed Miss Duan out to bring her back, but Miss Duan said that she also had a friend, surnamed Gu, who was Miss Gu......
When Liu Mei'er and Qiu Gui were talking, Gu Xiyan was lying upright on the bed and pretending to be asleep.
There are so many things happening today, she has to figure it out.
Although Duan Yingluo didn't hurt her, she also had her own position and would rely on her words, which was one of the important reasons why she came to Hongtai stupidly...... After thinking about it, something was wrong, and it was already difficult to ride a tiger!
It seems that when the person arrives. You'll have to rely on yourself!
Why is it so hard to make a friend?
Gu Xiyan sighed secretly in her heart!
Duan Yingluo looked at Gu Xiyan's irregular and gently squirming eyelids, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If she didn't pretend to be asleep at the moment, and insisted on asking Qi Hao what she said to herself, would she say it or not?
Duan Yingluo couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I can't imagine one day. Duan Yingluo will also do this kind of thing!
I don't know how long it took, Gu Xiyan's breathing and exhalation slowly became gentle, but there was the sound of approaching footsteps in the courtyard. The steps are the same, and the ups and downs are firm.
Duan Yingluo smiled self-deprecatingly, got up and began to put on his clothes.
Footsteps lingered under the lattice, but no one knocked at the door.
She sighed lightly and went to open the door: "Grandpa Guo, I came all the way through the wind and snow, I'm really tired, you just find me a place to rest and rest." I won't bother you! ”
Wearing a dark blue plain round robe, Qi Hao still had bright beads of water on his shoulders after the bright flowers melted. He hesitated and did not enter the house. Standing by the door, he whispered, "She, what's wrong?" ”
Duan Yingluo held back the smile in her heart, and said solemnly: "What else, crying so much, just fell asleep!" ”
Qi Hao's dark eyes flashed brightly in the night: "Siping, you find a place for Miss Duan to rest!" ”
Siping, who had clear eyebrows, didn't dare to raise his head, and lowered his eyebrows and responded with a "yes".
Duan Yingluo put on a thick coarse cloth jacket and followed Siping out of the yard.
Qi Hao shook his clothes, and waited until the coldness on his body was almost dissipated before entering the inner room.
On the fire kang in the inner room. Gu Xiyan lay on his back in a regular manner, with a square long pillow under his neck, and the futon was neatly pulled up to his neck. Through the folds on the futon, you can see that your hands are crossed on your chest.
Qi Hao got on the kang, sat cross-legged beside Gu Xiyan, and looked at her carefully.
Originally, his face was not as big as his palm, his face was pale, and his cheekbones were slightly convex. Eye sockets are slightly sunken. Although asleep, his brow furrowed. It seems to be very uneasy, with a gloomy color that can't be concealed.
Qi Hao's heart tightened, and he softly shouted "Xiyan".
Gu Xiyan seemed to be sleeping very deeply, and he didn't move, and a black crow and green silk were scattered on the silver-red pillow, printed on a colorless face, with a detached beauty.
No, no, no. His sunset is sweet, agile, uninhibited, not like this...... Qi Hao let out a low "Xiyan" as if he was bewitched, and pinched a strand of black hair in his hand.
Silky smooth and silky flexible.
How can someone have hair that is both soft and strong?
Qi Hao was confused, and his hand couldn't help but stroke Gu Xiyan's head.
Gu Xiyan felt that someone was touching his hair, and immediately woke up, a pair of black and white eyes shining like gems in the dark.
That's it, that's it, shining eyes, full of life......
The corners of Qi Haosheng's mouth couldn't help but curl, and a friendly smile flashed in his eyes: "Did you wake you up?" ”
Gu Xiyan felt for a moment that she was in a dream.
At this moment, Qi Hao is kind, gentle and even with a hint of generosity, which is completely different from the indifferent, cold, and dignified image he saw in the East House just now.
"Yes, Qi Maosheng?" Gu Xiyan's hesitant tone was confused.
Qi Hao smiled and nodded: "Why are you so thin?" ”
Gu Xiyan pinched herself in the quilt, which gave her a sense of reality.
Qi Hao asked again: "Why are you so thin?" "In my eyes, there is a deep sense of care.
Gu Xiyan let out an "ah", and she almost wanted to pinch this person, whether it was true or not.
A few hours ago, he saw her like a stranger, and his attitude was still clearly in his memory, and in a blink of an eye, Duan Yingluo was gone, and Qi Maosheng sat cross-legged in front of her, and asked himself lightly, "Why are you so thin......
Gu Xiyan didn't know how to answer well. She got up and wrapped the quilt tightly around herself, and said self-deprecatingly: "Because I'm the princess of Wandou!" ”
Qi Maosheng was angry: "What, Princess Wandou?" ”
Gu Xiyan told him Grimm's fairy tales.
Qi Maosheng listened to her carefully, as if every word that came out of her mouth was the most beautiful music in the world.
Anyone who saw Qi Maosheng's expression at this moment would feel that he had a deep love for Gu Xiyan.
Even Gu Xiyan himself thinks so!
