Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Willow Heads on the Moon
The butler leaned against the door and wondered a little when he heard it, "Why did the boy still say that he wanted to push back the day?" The tassel girl didn't tell her like this, and she wished that she would have a big banquet tonight to entertain the guests.
"Where is the fringed girl?"
Murong said lightly: "I still have the final say in the house." ”
Since he said that Tassel will be the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, most of the relevant matters in the mansion are mainly to ask her opinion, and if there is no major matter, he will not ask Murong for advice. Presumably by conniving at her, it's time to take back this privilege.
The housekeeper said yes, and then asked curiously: "Childe, you and the tassel girl are ...... her"
"What? Want to hear the details?" Murong's tone was obviously indifferent, the housekeeper shook his head again and again, and retreated as he answered: "No, no, the old slave should hurry up and do his duty." ”
The hot steam of lotus seed porridge slowly disappeared, and Murong decided to meet Gu Qing and explain to her in person, no matter what, she couldn't be made to think that she was a negative person.
——————
The night is as cold as water, Xiao Yue'er hangs high in the air, the mottled shadows of the trees are dense, and the plum courtyard is quiet.
As soon as Gu Qing extinguished the candle, she heard the sound of an object falling to the ground outside, she listened intently, thinking that it might be a small animal like a wild cat, but she didn't pay attention.
The crescent moon was already snoring outside the room, and she was running around the yard during the day, thinking that she was tired.
The night is very bright tonight, maybe the moon is shining.
Gu Qing leaned on the side of the bed, and as soon as the surroundings quieted down, she couldn't help but think crankily, thinking about Murong's face, thinking about tassels.
She did not deny that she did have true feelings for Murong.
Maybe it was the throbbing of the first meeting with him in the teahouse, the stability that always appeared when he was in danger, and the touching of what he said from his heart.
She is just a little woman with beautiful dreams, and she often fantasizes about how her husband will be in the future.
Murong's appearance is undoubtedly a touch of splendor in her dark realm.
Since then, she has learned how to write the word peace of mind.
A figure floated in the courtyard in a trance, Gu Qingzheng was in a trance, and suddenly he was startled, only to see the figure standing in front of the window for a long time, and the long figure was about to cover the entire window.
It can't be a robbery, right? Gu Qing was a little afraid, so he casually took the feather duster on the cabinet and held it tightly in his hand, and approached the windowsill with his bare feet.
The people outside didn't move at all, and Gu Qing didn't dare to move inside.
It is said in the book of war that if the enemy does not move, I will not move.
It can't really be a gangster, right? Gu Qing swallowed her saliva, what should she do? Should she shout for help first, or wake up the crescent moon first? The latter shouldn't work, the girl probably has to scream as soon as she wakes up, and she will definitely panic, and it will be bad if her life is not guaranteed.
Or will she take the initiative and take it by surprise?
Gu Qing secretly cheered himself up, and began to slowly pull open the window bolt with one hand.
"A-Qing, I know it's you. ”
The person outside suddenly spoke, Gu Qing was almost half frightened, and when he heard the man call his name, his doubts disappeared all at once, and he pushed the window open to see who the figure was.
Murong.
The feather duster in his hand fell to the ground at some point, making a clanging sound, and the crescent moon babbled with his eyes closed, probably sleeping too heavily and talking in his sleep.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you. He said to himself.
"I ...... Well, you'......"
Cursed secretly, damn it, why did she stutter when she spoke?
"Why didn't you want to see me on the day you proposed?"
Does he remember this stubble?
"I ...... I forgot. Gu Qing looked back at the crescent moon, and the child's sleep was easy to wake up, so he said, "Let's go out and talk." ”
Covering the door and wandering around the courtyard, the moonlight stretched the shadow very long, Gu Qing walked in front, Murong followed behind, and the big figure covered the small figure.
"I ......"
"You ......"
The two of them spoke at the same time, and immediately smiled awkwardly, Gu Qing waved his hand: "You say it first, you say it first." ”
"You haven't answered me yet. He asked, urging.
Although it was night when she couldn't see Murong's face clearly, she could feel those torch-like eyes, with blazing flames. She didn't dare to look at each other, looked down at her toes, and hesitated for a long time, saying nothing.
There seemed to be a sigh in my ears, and it was like the sound of the wind.
"Ah Qing, do you hate me. ”
He asked.
Gu Qing smiled and asked, "What does it mean to hate it?
A meal of air.
Murong furrowed his brows, hugged her shoulder with one hand, and asked happily, "Ah Qing, what you said is true?"
Because the heart cares, the heart will think about it, and because the heart will be suspicious.
Gu Qing put down his hand very calmly, and the moment he touched it, he had a very comfortable feeling.
"That's just before. ”
"What do you mean?"
After finding a stone bench and sitting down, Gu Qing no longer looked at him, and only asked: "Murong, tell me, what attitude do you have to tattoo the pattern on my forehead? What is the relationship between you and the tassel? And I, do you have something to hide from me?"
After asking several questions in a row, Murong sorted out his thoughts from the beginning, and replied truthfully: "The pattern is that I don't want you to suffer from other people's strange eyes in the future, that's all, there is nothing else to think about." The tassel is just a dancer I took in, and between ...... Have clean hands. ”
The latter sentence paused for a while, because he was also confused, what he did that night.
"Just a dancer?" It turns out that in his heart, he actually looks at tassels like this?
"Ah Qing, don't believe the gossip outside, you just need to know that I am dedicated to you. ”
He reached over, grabbed Gu Qing's cold fingers, and covered them in his hands.
What does it mean to be devoted to her?
Gu Qing didn't understand a little, she didn't know anything in the Gu Mansion, the news of the Prime Minister's Mansion was still rumored to be heard, what was he looking at him?
"Tassel is a good girl, treat her well, don't let it down. ”
Without getting angry, Gu Qing was extremely depressed, said a word of blessing, and patted the stone table by the way, but it was himself who hurt.
"Aqing, listen to me. His wrist was pulled by a force, Gu Qing looked back, and met his slightly panicked eyes, "I will never marry Tassel, and the happy event is just from the house." Yes, I had previously announced that I was going to marry Tassel, but then I found out that she was not the person I had been looking for. Rest assured, I will take care of the matter and will never let you down. ”
Frowning slightly, she said, "You don't have to. ”
"Aqing, I like you, I like your stubbornness and simplicity, your strengths and weaknesses. I finally found you. That's why I want to do it even more. ”
The Murong in front of him became so unfamiliar, so unfamiliar that if it weren't for this face, Gu Qing was afraid that he would not recognize him.
Did those words really come out of his mouth?
"You give me time, give me a chance, and I'll take care of everything. ”
"You...... Do you like me?" Instead of the short girl who was ignorant when she was young?
"It's you, Gu Qing. ”
The four words lightly crossed his heart, and no matter how confused Gu Qing was, he couldn't stand such a sultry feeling. No one has ever said love words to her, but since Murong changed his attitude, love words seem to have come out of his mouth.
"It's late at night, you should go back and rest early. ”
She began to chase him away.
Murong didn't object, and looked at her quietly, the people under the moon were even more petite and lovely.
Gu Qing took a few steps back, then stopped, turned around and asked, "How can I trust you?"
His eyes were firm and focused, and his voice seemed to be penetrating: "No matter when and where, my Murong will protect you first, and everything is based on you." ”
But Gu Qing was not satisfied with this answer, maybe he would not be satisfied with anything he said.
She wanted to ask why?
He was just a plain ordinary person, why did he treat her so well? But he didn't dare to ask, Gu Qing knew, the person he had been stationed in his heart was just her when she was young, she was ignorant and ignorant.
It's not love or love, it's just a sense of belonging.
——————
Early the next morning, news came from the palace that Concubine Ning was demoted to a noble concubine, and all relevant people in the palace were halved as usual.
Gu Qing has been panicking since he met Murong last night, he didn't sleep well all night, and he was always in a daze and dreaming differently. As soon as the day dawned, I heard Yu Niang and the others chattering about Gu Ning in the courtyard, so they simply cleaned up and got up, moved a small stool and sat together to listen silently.
Speaking of which, I still don't know why Gu Ning was demoted, if she made a big mistake in the palace, I don't know if it will affect Gu Lin.
"When I passed by Yuyuan, I heard that the eldest lady was very angry, and reprimanded the maids in the courtyard, and none of them dared to say anything. Ah Huan pursed her lips and said: "It's better for our wife, gentle and not angry, how is it like the eldest lady?" Xiaomei in Yuyuan often complains to us, and she doesn't want to stay in that courtyard for a long time. ”
Xiaomei is a person in Yuyuan, and she is good friends with Ah Huan, and she will say some private words between her daughter's family in private.
"Say this in front of us, otherwise if others know, the eldest lady will definitely teach us a good lesson. Crescent Moon answered.
"The crescent moon is right, be cautious in front of outsiders. Yu Niang said.
Gu Qing's eyes were still full of wistfulness, and he looked unsober, rubbed the corners of his eyes and asked: "Since she was demoted, it means that the second sister has committed something, but her temperament is soft and weak, and she doesn't like to fight with others, what can she do in the palace?"
"There are a lot of things in the palace, and the concubines calculate each other, even if they think they are innocent, there are disasters falling from the sky. ”
Yu Niang felt it and remembered the gloomy days in the past. Gu Qing didn't say a word after hearing this, looked at the ground and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Okay, let's all pack up for breakfast, the master has gone to the palace to find out the situation, and we don't need to worry about these things. ”
Crescent Moon stood up with a hum: "I'll go to the kitchen to help." ”
"I'll go too. Ah Huan also said.
Only Gu Qing and Yu Niang were left in the courtyard, and the world became quiet.
Gu Qing was suddenly a little scared to stay alone with her mother, her mother was still the same mother, but some internal things seemed to have changed.
She needs time to digest and she needs time to dissolve
Since Yu Niang explained everything, Gu Qing has not met Gu Lin again, and Yu Xin is also at a loss, not knowing how to face this adoptive father.
