Chapter 22: Autumn and Autumn in Shengjing (II)

The sky in the west is gradually rendered with layers of gorgeous sunset like a shawl, painting Beyuan with a warm golden yellow, and the faint sound of noisy cars and horses in the east highlights its quietness.

Gu Xiyan personally poured a cup of tea for Mama Zhao: "Mama, I've tired you." ”

Mama Zhao smiled indifferently: "Where the girl is talking, I can accompany the girl to talk, that is my blessing." ”

What do two people who don't know each other have to say, Gu Xiyan has always kept silent, and it was Mama Zhao, telling some anecdotes wittily, which made Gu Xiyan happy from time to time.

Gradually, the sky darkened, and Mama Zhao said: "The moon is about to rise later, so it's better to go to the courtyard to admire the moon." ”

Gu Xiyan naturally had no objection, Mama Zhao moved a small table out of the house, Gu Xiyan moved two embroidered piers, and the two of them put out moon cakes, watermelons, apples, dates, grapes and other foods, and waited for the moon to rise while eating.

Mama Zhao peeled a grape and handed it to Gu Xiyan's mouth, and said affectionately: "Second girl, try it, this is Fengtai's tribute, and it is the first time I have eaten it in the past few years." ”

There was still grape juice on her fingers, Gu Xiyan was a little dirty, but she was embarrassed to refuse, so she had to open her mouth and eat it. The grapes are full and juicy, sweet and sour, but Gu Xiyan doesn't like to eat grapes since she was a child, she likes to eat grapes, and of course she is not interested in it. Mama Zhao peeled another one and handed it to Gu Xiyan's mouth, Gu Xiyan hurriedly refused: "It's a little sour." ”

Mama Zhao listened and said, "I'll taste it." He ate the grapes in one bite: "It's not sour, it's sweet!" ”

Gu Xiyan picked up the moon cake that had been cut and looked at the filling, it was Wu Danren, there were red and green xiang in it, she put down the moon cake and picked up the watermelon and took a bite, the rustling was sweet, the fragrance was long-term, much sweeter than any early spring red jade she had ever eaten, maybe there was no chemical fertilizer or anything like that in this world.

Mama Zhao picked up grapes and ate them on the side.

The moon gradually went to the hollow, hanging in the gray-blue sky like a jade plate, and the bright moonlight gently sprinkled on every corner of the courtyard, sprinkled on Gu Xiyan's face and clothes, reminding Gu Xiyan of the night in the camphor forest.

Before I knew it, it had been almost two months since I arrived in Xia Kingdom. Although I encountered a lot of things, I was fortunate that I hadn't been tied up as a monster or something...... Man is the most adaptable creature in the world, and it has only been two months, and the previous life seems to be a dream, gradually fading out of his memory...... Maybe it's because there's nothing to worry about......

Gu Xiyan stood up and waved his fist into the air bathed in the moonlight, learning from the heroines in Korean dramas and shouting: "Come on, Xiyan, come on, Xiyan, life is short for decades, some people will be swallowed to death because of drinking water, the most important thing is to be happy......"

Mama Zhao looked at her dumbfounded.

Gu Xiyan turned around and smiled at Mama Zhao, her beautiful face slowly bloomed in the moonlight, looking forward to it and making people feel provocative.

Mama Zhao only felt a movement in her chest, and blurted out: "The second girl is really like a lady." ”

Gu Xiyan knew that the lady in Mama Zhao's mouth was referring to her biological mother Lian, and asked her curiously, "How did my mother die?" ”

Mama Zhao's whole body stiffened, her face was as white as plaster in the moonlight, and she murmured: "I, we are subordinates, how do we know ......?"

Gu Xiyan sighed secretly in his heart, I'm afraid it's another story!

She stood up and looked around.

The moonlight shone softly in the courtyard, and the bluestone bricks sparkled like a layer of silver, but the mottled black shadows fell at the foot of the trees.

It always happens that where there is light, there must be darkness.

She didn't ask anymore and took the initiative to change the topic: "I think this watermelon tastes good, where is it produced?" ”

Mama Zhao was originally a straight person, but seeing that Gu Xiyan no longer asked, she also regained her usual cheerfulness, and the two of them began to talk and laugh again.

The moonlight is getting fuller, Gu Xiyan has basically read every day since she came here, and now that the biological clock is Su Shu, she began to yawn, and when Mama Zhao saw this, she took the opportunity to go back to the house to rest, Gu Xiyan nodded again and again.

After returning to the house and washing, Gu Xiyan fell asleep.

Mama Zhao blew out the lamp, packed up her things, and saw through the window that the sky in the west exploded from time to time with gorgeous fireworks, knowing that this was the Hou Hou family's house to start the fire dragon dance, last year she was also at home to guard the house did not see it, afterwards I only heard a few old sisters talk about the grand occasion at that time, now I see the fireworks, my heart feels even more itchy, I looked back and saw Gu Xiyan's white jade-like face in the moonlight like a quiet flower peaceful, hesitated for a long time, she still led the door away.

Gu Xiyan lay quietly in the moonlight, bright, elegant, and soft, and the corners of her mouth like a red rhombus curved slightly, as if she had entered a beautiful dream.

When I came in a hundred years, I saw such a scene.

He stared blankly for a long time, and began to tiptoe around the room.

Gu Xiyan suddenly turned over, the sound of squirming between the futons startled for a hundred years, and when he turned around, he saw Gui Guan standing quietly in front of Gu Xiyan's house.

The bright moonlight shone on his handsome silhouette, which looked unusually angular, and his eyebrows were gloomy and depressed.

Bai Bai covered his heart, forced a smile and made a gesture, signaling Guiguan to go out and speak.

The two of them went out and stood on the steps in front of Gu Xiyan's house.

Bai Young said: "I can't bear it for a day, I want to leave, even if it ends up like Huanling......"

Guiguan didn't speak for a long time, just quietly looked at the hundred years, quiet and melancholy.

Bai Bai suddenly became excited under the gaze of Gui Guan, and he said in a fierce voice: "I'm not like you...... You're fourteen years old and you're already developing, and he won't want you to sleep anymore...... Now that Huan Ling is dead, it's just me and Shuxiang...... I can't stand it, I really can't stand it anymore......" The delicate facial features are frighteningly distorted.

Guiguan asked softly, "Where are you going?" Don't forget, you don't have a household, you don't have money......"

Hundred years trembled all over: "I don't care, I don't want to stay here if I die......"

Guiguan looked up at the moon lightly, his eyes sad.

Bai Bai tearfully said "thank you", and returned to Gu Xiyan's house and began to rummage through the cabinets.

There was a faint sigh in the house: "What's the use of these clothes, you have to go to the pawnshop, and people will find out ...... when they check it."

Hearing this, Guiguan pulled out his legs and rushed into the house.

The second girl, Gu Xiyan, was sitting on the quilt, looking at the hundred years with an indifferent expression.

Standing beside the box at a loss, he was still carrying a goose-yellow belly pocket embroidered with peony flowers in his hand.

Gui Guan rushed forward and grabbed Gu Xiyan's neck.

Gu Xiyan was stunned.

She's grown up and she's never been in a fight.

Gu Xiyan was thrown on the bed by Gui Guan and choked his neck.

Her calmness played a role again at this moment, and just as she was thrown down on the bed by Guiguan, she raised her foot at the same time and kicked Guiguan in the lower body fiercely.

Guiguan was so painful that beads of sweat broke out on his forehead at that time, but he still didn't let go, and while pinching Gu Xiyan desperately, he shouted to Niannian: "Don't come and help me yet!" ”

Bai Bai panicked "oh", walked a few steps forward, still holding the goose-yellow belly pocket embroidered with peony flowers in his hand, and said helplessly: "What, how to help?" ”

In just a few words, Gu Xiyan kicked Gui Guan's lower body twice in a row, Gui Guan bent over in pain, covered his lower body with his hand, and fell on the foot of the bed like a shrimp.

Hundred years let out a shrill cry in fright.

"Shut up!" Two voices, a man and a woman, reprimanded for a hundred years at the same time.

Hundred years covered his mouth in horror.

Of course, the man is Guiguan, and the woman is naturally Gu Xiyan. The two reprimanded each other in unison for a hundred years, and then looked at each other in disbelief.

After all, Gu Xiyan is not an ordinary lady, thanks to the information of modern development, her insight is far beyond that of her contemporaries, and she has long seen the strangeness around Master Gu in her heart. Now that she wanted to escape, she told him that she was going to help him, telling him that she had gold ornaments on her mirror platform, but she didn't think about it, but she led to Guiguan's actions, which was completely a frame of killing people after the theft was discovered.

After reading so many newspapers and watching so much television, don't you know what the consequences will be? What's more, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.

Gu Xiyan jumped off the bed with a grim face, took out the belt of his trousers and wrapped it around Guiguan's neck: "If you dare to move, I will strangle you." She was still afraid that Guiguan would not believe in her determination, so she strangled her hard.

Guiguan immediately grabbed the white silk around his neck with both hands, rolled his eyes like a dead fish and straightened up on the couch footboard.

Trembling for a hundred years, he suddenly said to Gu Xiyan: "Second girl, I'll help you call someone!" With that, he ran away in a puff of smoke.

Guiguan raised his head in disbelief, stretched out his hand with difficulty and shouted "you" to the back of the hundred years, and hung down decadently.

Gu Xiyan was even more surprised, he didn't expect that Guiguan had helped for a hundred years, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, even the kung fu of tea cooling.

She smiled coldly and said, "Guiguan, it seems that your brother does not have as much confidence in you as you think. ”

Guiguan grabbed Bai Ling on his neck with both hands and did not move, his face was as calm as water, but his eyes seemed to be burning with a fire that had turned red. Guiguan had never been in contact with Gu Xiyan before, and he regarded her as a famous daughter raised in the deep boudoir, who knew that he had tasted those few feet in the first confrontation this year, and saw the chill in her eyes, he couldn't help but secretly regret that he had put himself in such a dangerous situation in order to help a despicable villain who didn't know kindness, which was also the result of his underestimating people. If he can't find a reason for Gu Xiyan to let him go, then all the humiliation and burden he has endured in the Gu Mansion in the past few years will be in vain, maybe his life will end today.

He forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and said lightly: "I heard that the lord is entertaining guests in the outer courtyard, and they are all dignitaries from the court!" ”

Gu Xiyan knew what Gui Guan meant when he said this.

Negotiations are about to begin!

If you lose, you can't lose the position. Gu Xiyan pretended to look at Gui Guan with a smile and said, "Are you negotiating terms with me?" Her expression was gentle, her voice was soft, but her eyes flashed as sharp as a knife, which made Guiguan clearly understand the resentment in her heart.
