Chapter Fifty-Six: Di Cuichen's Words
Gu Xiyan lifted the table, still puzzled, looking at the room full of embarrassed books, and kicked the table that was overturned to the ground again. [Full text reading. 】
Who knew that the table was pitch black, but it was a hundred-year-old red sandalwood, which lifted Gu Xiyan's feet.
As the saying goes, ten fingers connect the heart. This kick hurt so much that Gu Xiyan hugged his feet on the spot, and tears flowed down. This cry didn't matter, and it brought out her sadness. Thinking that she has to worry about everything since she became the second girl of Gu Mansion, not to mention that when it comes to the critical moment, no one has no money, and there is no sense of direction, and when she punches out, it is like hitting cotton at all......
Grievances came to her heart like a tide, and she cried through the pain of her feet.
In the hazy eyes of tears, she heard the laughter of Huilan Zheng and Xinghong muttering, and she felt even more sad and felt self-pitying.
Who am I provoking whom, it turns out that I can also have three or five confidants to talk happily, who knows that fate plays tricks on people, and let me cross into such a family...... At this point today, fate is controlled by others, freedom, and others dominate, and life is really not a human life.
Gu Xiyan's tears flowed even more fiercely, but he didn't dare to cry out loud, for fear that Huilan and Xinghong would be talked about and joked about.
In the spacious hall, Gu Xiyan buried her chest and sobbed silently, looking so lonely and helpless......
After crying for a long time, Gu Xiyan easily held back her tears, got up, wiped her tears, helped up the table, put the books scattered around one by one, put them on the table one by one, sat down, calmed down, and started reading again.
Halfway through, Mama Zhao came to see her: "Let Xinghong make a summer cloth tent." The weather is too hot to block the sun from the chrysanthemum. ”
Gu Xiyan smiled and promised: "I don't have anything to do here, she and Huilan are playing together, you just call it." ”
I went back to Beyuan, had dinner, lay on the bed, read for a while, and came back before Duanniang. (Computer reading) sat on Gu Xiyan's bed strings with joy and worry on his face, and whispered to her: "Jinxin said that as soon as the ninth prince returned to the house yesterday, he was locked in the study with the Hou Ye, and after talking for a long time, the Hou Ye went out of the door of the study and let the lady go to the house of Master Li of the Hanlin Academy. invited the wife of his family to go to Gongzi Mei to propose marriage, and told the eighth girl of the Jiang family to Master Mei, and he personally went to the eldest princess's mansion and invited the eldest princess to come to our house to ask for marriage. The ninth prince also asked Jinxin to bring a message to the girl, saying that if the girl is not a girl, she will not marry ......"
Gu Xiyan was abrupt: "I and him are only one-sided, how can this be?" ”
Duan Niang said with a smile: "Mo Ju heard from a close big girl next to Jiu Gongzi that Jiu Gongzi thinks that the girl is extraordinary and qualified to be the head of his house......"
Where does this begin?
Gu Xiyan suddenly brightened.
So it turned out that because of his own talk, he suggested a plan to save the people......
She sat up sharply.
That Zuo Xiaoyu...... Is it because of this?
What a curse comes from the mouth?
Gu Xiyan was depressed: "What is the Jiang family's reaction to Zuo Xiaoyu's proposal?" ”
Duan Niang said with a smile: "Jiang Jiugongzi said that the girl should not worry, and the Hou Ye will enter the palace tomorrow to see the Queen Mother." ”
Gu Xiyan smiled bitterly.
Duan Niang also knew that this matter was beyond them. I had to comfort Gu Xiyan: "Girl, no matter what, the two families are meritorious and famous, and it is not a grievance for the girl to marry into whichever family she marries, as long as the husband respects the family, it is not the girl who has the final say...... With the girl's appearance and family background, there is still a ...... that I don't love"
Gu Xiyan listened absentmindedly and thought of countermeasures.
Now only Gu Chaorong can stop this matter.
But. What should I say to impress Gu Chaorong?
She tossed and turned, couldn't sleep, didn't wait for the sky to get up, saw the fragrant Mo Ju sleeping in the Bisha kitchen, and quietly made two twist braids, wore a rose-red high-waisted pomegranate skirt and went out.
There are many woods in the empty house, the summer morning is slightly cool, and there are still two or three stars twinkling in the western corner of the sky.
Gu Xiyan unconsciously walked to the front of the Dicui Pavilion in Xiuhe Garden.
By this time, the sky was already white.
Gu Xiyan leaned against the magnolia tree in front of the pavilion, only looking at the big buds and was stunned.
Soon it was getting white.
Beyuan: At this time, everyone should wake up, if she is gone. Everyone must be very anxious, especially Duanniang, maybe they will misunderstand what stupid things she has done.
Gu Xiyan let out a long sigh and turned around to prepare to go back to Beyuan.
She had barely taken two steps when she heard a slight rustling sound in the woods beside the Dicui Pavilion.
Gu Xiyan couldn't help but shout in a hurry: "Who?" Who's there. ”
Be still and listen. It was as if there was no sound.
Maybe I misheard.
She took a few more steps forward. It was as if I heard a rustling sound again.
Gu Xiyan was frightened in her heart, and her face turned pale. Lift the corners of your skirt and run.
Someone behind her shouted to her: "Second girl, don't panic, it's me!" Someone walked out of the woods as he spoke.
Gu Xiyan looked back and saw that it was Mr. Huang.
She lost her voice and said, "How is it sir?" ”
Mr. Huang seems to have been in the forest for a long time, and there are still one or two drops of dew hanging from his sideburns. He smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I was walking by Yuanxiang Lake, and there was a narrow path, and I was a little curious, who knew that it was connected to Xiuhe Garden...... Fortunately, I met a girl, if others really didn't dare to come out, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to tell the truth......"
Take a walk so early?
Suspicion flashed in Gu Xiyan's eyes.
Mr. Huang seemed to be very emotional, so he stood there and chatted with Gu Xiyan: "Mr. Li Fusheng from Jiangnan County will come in two days, Mr. Li, you don't know, he is Yingsheng's senior brother." Singing Xiaoshengdi is the first character in Jiangnan, we invited him to rehearse a new play, I thought of making a dress in red clothes, who knew that I would encounter such a thing...... Alas. What a tragedy! At the feet of the Son of Heaven...... Human life is like grass! ”
This sentence should be sighed by me, who was born in the peaceful era of the 21st century!
Gu Xiyan muttered in his heart, but he replied to him: "Fortunately, it's not a troubled world!" ”
"What is the difference between the present and the troubled times!" Mr. Huang's face was sad: "Last year, Longzuo Dilong turned over, and Lingnan County and Hainan County were implicated. There were countless casualties, and in some places there was no harvest, and many people died of starvation in winter; Today, in the spring, the plain county has been rainy for a long time, the early rice seedlings have died, and the fertile soil is about to turn into sand, and I don't know where the grain is this autumn......"
It's not that serious! Thousands of miles of fertile soil turn into sand, and it is not possible to turn into ground overnight.
Gu Xiyan felt that Mr. Huang's words were a bit extreme.
"Those are all natural disasters," Gu Xiyan said with a smile, "Natural disasters are unavoidable by humans." As long as the court is dedicated to overcoming this difficulty, the days in the future will be better. This is far from the troubled times! ”
"Oh!" Mr. Huang asked with interest. "What does the girl think is a troubled world?"
It's a big topic.
But Mr. Huang stared at her with blazing eyes, and his expression was very serious.
Gu Xiyan was reluctant to discuss these political things with Mr. Huang, and she smiled: "I am a little girl with limited knowledge, and I really can't answer Mr. Huang's words." ”
Mr. Huang didn't give up: "The girl always feels like this, right?" There was stubbornness in his expression.
Gu Xiyan smiled, and when he was in the immortal class, he still felt that Mr. Huang was a very kind person, but now it seems that he has not encountered a topic that interests him. It's not exactly a momentum that can't be asked.
In order to return to Beyuan as soon as possible, Gu Xiyan said briefly and hurriedly: "In the troubled times, my understanding is that those women who are making clothes in red clothes feel that they can't live anymore......"
"How is this possible?" Mr. Huang frowned: "Girl, this is joking!" ”
"It's just a little bit of my personal feeling!" Gu Xiyan smiled and blessed Mr. Huang and said, "It's not too early, I'm going back, the girls in the garden should be in a hurry." Mr. Huang should go back the way he came. After all, this is an inner courtyard, and it is inconvenient! "Finished. She blessed Mr. Huang again, turned around and walked away briskly without looking back.
Mr. Huang looked at her back and remained silent, pondering.
Back in Beyuan, the girls were really anxious there, and they thought she had secretly run away again.
Gu Xiyan smiled bitterly.
Running away is not such a simple thing!
Knowing that she went for a walk. Duan Niang let out a long sigh. Caressing Gu Xiyan's sideburns, he said a little sadly: "Girl." ...... at a young age I can't finish! With that, he turned his back and secretly wiped the corners of his eyes.
After breakfast, Gu Xiyan went to ask Mrs. Gu for peace as usual, Mrs. Gu was busy dressing up, Liu Er had several clothes on her arm, and was waiting for Mrs. Gu to choose, Gu Xiyan asked with a smile: "Where is Mother going this morning?" ”
Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Xiyan's eyes with pity, and Gu Xiyan's heart was beating wildly.
What happened to the difficulty?
She was about to ask Mrs. Gu, but sighed: "Someone came to tell you that my lord asked me to enter the palace to ask the imperial concubine, I was about to go to the Zongren Mansion to hand over the sign......"
Gu Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief, blushed, lowered his head, and said, "...... My daughter is still young......"
Mrs. Gu sighed again, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said abruptly: "Your marriage master promised the imperial concubine to be the master of the house......
Gu Xiyan's heart was shocked, and he quietly changed the topic: "The outside guard can be solved?" ”
Mrs. Gu said, "Not yet." It's a lot looser than yesterday...... After all, our family is a royal family and has a title, although it is a little obstructive to get in and out, but it is not so that we can't move around in this Shengjing...... However, the criminal department is too unsuccessful, how did a felony run out, it is said that in the past few days, the imperial historians have played the torture department, and the twists and turns are like snowflakes. ”
The two chatted a few more words, Mrs. Gu was already dressed neatly, and Gu Xiyan personally sent her out of the Hanging Flower Gate before turning back to Beyuan.
The Gu family can now be said to be strong on the outside and big on the inside, there are few servants in the inner courtyard, and the children in the outer courtyard often go in and out of Xiuhe Garden, which is a bit remote, and this morning she actually met Mr. Huang, which made Gu Xiyan feel even more unsafe, she asked Mo Ju and Xinghong to move the books left in Dicui Pavilion to Beyuan, and decided to go to Dicui Pavilion less in the future.
She personally followed Gu Xiyan's instructions to bring the book over, but when she came back, she was still with Huilan.
