Chapter 30: Sister and Brother
"Childe has been very good to me, and he has not let me suffer in anything. He replied earnestly, it is true, if there was no son, he would have become a pile of bones, wandering in the world, unable to find a way back.
Tassel nodded incessantly, "That's good, that's good." ”
When she was young, her family was defeated, her parents died, she was humiliated, and she hid in the beauty shop for her livelihood, and saw all the joys and sorrows of the world, so she cooled her mind and closed her heart.
The only thing I was worried about was my younger brother who was secretly hiding at home at the time, and I didn't know his life and death. Farewell, it's nearly ten years.
Gu Qing has been hiding here to eavesdrop on the conversation, what she didn't expect was that the tassel turned out to be a sister and brother with Wei Cai?
Ah Huan squatted on the ground for a long time, his legs were numb, and he pulled Gu Qing's arm and tried to get up, but unexpectedly stepped on the fallen branch and let out a crisp "squeak".
The conversation between the two people on the other side was interrupted, and Wei Cai was the first to shout: "Who is it?
While drinking, he strode over.
I can't hide if I want to, and I can't run away.
Before Wei Cai came over to ask, Gu Qing had already walked out, calmly and calmly, smiled apologetically at the two, and said with a bow: "I'm really sorry, because I got lost in the Prime Minister's Mansion because of the banquet, I didn't expect to hear the conversation of the tassel girl, disturbed, let's go." ”
Pulling Ah Huan and about to turn away, where would Wei Cai let her go? An arrow rushed in front of her and stopped her, and the fox asked, "What did you hear?"
Ah Huan was anxious to explain to her frankly: "My girl got lost in the Prime Minister's Mansion and came here by mistake, as for what this little boy said, we didn't listen carefully, and we didn't write it down." ”
Although Wei Cai is young, under Murong's training, he thinks and deals with problems in the same way as adults. He obviously didn't believe Ah Huan's words, who knows how long they have been squatting here?
If I'm not mistaken, this is Miss Gu in front of me, right? Thinking of meeting her three times before, intentionally or unintentionally, Wei Cai couldn't believe their words at this time.
"You've been hiding here for a long time. Wei Cai said affirmatively, his blazing eyes looked at Gu Qing, trying to see a trace of panic on her face.
Gu Qing knew that he wouldn't believe it, Wei Cai, this kid was very clever, and he was a bit of a bull.
"Because I'm lost, I don't know how to get out. She replied truthfully. A pair of innocent big eyes looked at Wei Cai, and there was nothing else unusual.
"Miss, your body hasn't healed yet, the wind is too cold at night, let's go first. Ah Huan is a smart person, seeing Wei Cai staring at Gu Qing tightly, he told lies at will to break the tense atmosphere.
After she said this, Wei Cai's eyes that were originally scrutinizing relaxed. That's right, the outside world knows that Miss Gu San is seriously ill, and this is thanks to the rumors spread by Chen Yu, which gave her a reason to get out at this moment.
"Ahem......" She covered her mouth and coughed a few times, she couldn't really see her face in the dim light, Wei Cai was a child after all, and her heart was soft, and she couldn't ask what she was going to ask.
"Miss Gu. ”
Tassel called, and she walked slowly, her face dark and unclear, and her steps were so light that she could not hear the slightest footsteps.
She is soft, both in posture and temperament.
Not knowing what she was going to say, Gu Qing deliberately asked in a dumb voice, "What's the matter with the tassel girl?"
Slowly approaching her, Tassel suddenly smiled, raised his hand and pointed to a path in the southwest, and said, "You can get out of the house here." ”
It turned out to be to show her the way.
Gu Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the secluded path, cast a grateful glance at the tassel, and then gave Wei Cai an opinion: "This little prince, there are too few people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, please tell the Prime Minister to recruit more people, otherwise you won't be able to find anyone to ask for directions if you get lost." ”
Wei Cai is just a scholar and a little follower next to Murong, and calling him a little boy can be regarded as exalting him.
"Next time, no one will get lost, because people like Miss Gu can't enter the Prime Minister's Mansion at all. Wei Cai replied directly, he would never suffer, let alone in front of Gu Qing.
What does it mean to be a person like her?
Gu Qing felt extremely unhappy when he was insulted by a child, he was six or seven years older than him, although the two had no seniority, but in terms of age, she had to call her sister, right?
"Miss Gu, don't be angry, my younger brother is a little stubborn, please forgive me if I offend my words. ”
Knowing that Wei Cai's speech was not big or small, Gu Qing was provoked, and the tassel hurriedly played a round.
Gu Qing glared at him angrily, tossing for a day, she didn't have the heart to stay here and fight with him, it was better to go home and sleep.
"What's the tassel girl's words? Miss Ben doesn't know like this kind of little child, but it seems that I have a small bearing. Huan, let's go. ”
"Yes, miss. ”
Tassel suddenly said again: "The path of the Xiangfu is mixed, and it will take a lot of time for those who are not familiar with the road to get out of the mansion." If Miss Gu doesn't mind, let my handmaid show you the way. ”
"There's a tassel girl. ”
"Bi'er, lead the way for Miss Gu. She called out in a loud voice, and a little maid trotted over from the side of the hallway, saying yes again and again.
There is no palm light on this path, Gu Qing can only recognize the road when he sees Bi'er leading the way in front, and it is pitch black everywhere. The direction of this path is the back door, and the tassel points to such a road, and I don't know what it means.
Until he couldn't hear Gu Qing's footsteps, Wei Cai stomped his feet, feeling indignant in his heart, and complained dissatisfied: "I didn't do anything wrong, why did my sister talk to them?"
Angry over a little thing, he is still a child.
It didn't mean anything else, the tassel just didn't want to see her. During the day, I heard her reciting the Tibetan poem behind the screen, which not only contained the word Murong, but also contained Gu Qing's name.
Where does she not understand her daughter's thoughts?
Tassels love to chant poems and songs, Murong only thought about today, let her be behind the screen, and let her take a look at all the poems approved by the examiner. In order to please her.
Later, when he handed the passed poems and articles to the study for Murong to see, he pushed them away one by one, except for the one, the poem written by Gu Qing.
"Who did this?"
In the quiet study, Murong took the paper and looked at it repeatedly, reminiscing about every word in it.
Tassel rolled his eyes and said: "There are too many literati who write poems, and there are some talented women among them, and Tassel can't remember it for a while." ”
Murong nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and pressed the poem under the ink inkstone.
"It's late at night, go back and rest. Tassel thought a lot in his mind, but did not answer Wei Cai's question.
The fireflies fluttered their wings in the small paper cage, the light was faint, and she glanced at it and flew away.
August 29 is a good day, on this day, the show girls of the Department of Etiquette finally have the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the emperor, they studied hard for several months, understood the rules after becoming a concubine, and also understood the way to survive in the harem.
In the Department of Etiquette, there is a Mama Li in the palace, she is a celebrity next to the Queen Mother of the previous dynasty, and after the rise and fall of a generation of dynasties, she has naturally seen more than others.
Kind eyebrows and kind eyes are the evaluation of her by the show girls.
She always has a smile on her face, and when she faces new beautiful girls, she will not tell them about the previous dynasty, nor will she talk about Chen Sesame and rotten grain. All she had to do was complete her task, teach the new girls, teach them the rules, and teach them the methods.
There are some show girls who can't sleep with excitement last night, they hold the quilt, close their eyes and imagine that they will one day become the phoenix among people, sitting on the golden and brilliant phoenix, and the emperor is in the same eyebrow, looking at the world.
Thinking about it, I fell asleep, and even in my dreams, I was full of anticipation.
Gu Ning is the same, she is different from others, she has seen the face of the person sitting on the dragon chair, hmm...... Thinking about it carefully, there was a trace of uninhibited in his distinct outline, and several times she dreamed of his leisurely gaze, which made the corners of her mouth smile in the blurred dream.
It's really crazy.
Gu Ning thought so, when she got up early, she deliberately dressed up the figure in the bronze mirror carefully, with a shallow curl of green silk, revealing a white neck, and a butterfly hairpin inserted in her hair, adding a bit of charm to her.
After dressing up, the show girls gathered in the courtyard, and Mama Li counted the number of people back and forth, and it was not difficult to see that everyone had worked dressing up.
Among the new show girls, most of them are the daughters of noble princes and princes, if there are really ordinary women, her appearance must be stunning.
"Yo, my sister is dressed so charmingly today, and my sister believes that if the emperor takes a look at his sister, he will not be able to take his eyes off. ”
The person who spoke was called Lily, she was the righteous daughter of Li Shen of Zhongshu Ling, and at this moment, when Mama walked in front of them, she couldn't wait to praise Gu Ning.
Gu Ning was simple-minded, and this was what made her happy, so she took it seriously, and said with a shy face: "My sister said that she was laughing, but she was just dressed up normally." ”
These days, I see that my sister is very friendly, very friendly with people, and has an excellent temper. I heard that the queen of the world needs this kind of temperament. ”
Lily leaned into her ear, mysteriously, and the voice became smaller and quieter behind the words. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart, Gu Ning was stunned and secretly remembered these words in his heart.
But he said: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, these words have been overheard by someone with a heart, and we will be punished." ”
"Good, good. Lily hurriedly agreed, no longer approaching her, but glanced at her from time to time.
Gu Qing is right, she is soft-hearted and easy to trust others. Lily's words, Gu Ning put them all in his heart, his face was a little distracted, and he didn't know what to think in his heart.
Even when everyone was about to leave the Etiquette Division together, Gu Ning didn't follow, and was named by Mama Li several times.
The corners of Lily's mouth curved, and it was a satisfied smile.
