When Xue Hainiang returned to Furong Garden, she saw Bauhinia cleaning the courtyard with a broom.

Zijing saw the smear of Tianshui Bi Qianying coming, and hurriedly put down the broom in his hand and stepped forward to say goodbye.

"Aunt Xu, have you ever embarrassed?" Xue Hainiang did not greet her, and went straight to the topic as soon as she came up.

Zijing lowered her head with her eyes down, and after standing in place for a long time, she suddenly knelt down and sobbed in a low voice, "The slave maid is not doing well, and she has failed to live up to Miss's trust, and Miss Wang's punishment is heavy." ”

Xue Hainiang smiled meaninglessly, "If you didn't miss, but made me uncomfortable, that Xu Lianshuang's methods are quite superb, you are definitely not her opponent, this time I will ask you to come back, so as not to be tortured by her when you fight her in the future." ”

Zijing suddenly raised her head and looked at Xue Hainiang in front of her, feeling inexplicably relieved.

"Thank you Miss for saving her life, if Miss tells me in the future, the slave will definitely go to the soup and fire. Bauhinia kowtowed heavily, her voice soft but revealing a firmness that could not be denied.

Xue Hainiang's phoenix eyes flashed slightly, and she stared at her for a long time, and then smiled: "You go down to rest first, you have contributed a lot to entering the Splendid Pavilion this time, and you will follow Mingxi in the future." ”

Bauhinia was ecstatic and nodded busily. "Yes. ”

She was originally of a humble status, and she had just entered the mansion for a long time, and she was assigned to the Splendid Pavilion to secretly monitor Xu Lianshuang because of Xue Hainiang's appreciation, but now she was transferred back to Furong Garden after she made a mistake and exposed her feet, thinking that Xue Hainiang would punish her, but she never thought that she would have such treatment.

She looked at Xue Hainiang who was walking away, with a frightening eagerness in her eyes. That's recognition that emanates from the depths of your heart.

Before the early winter arrived, the snow began to fall first, and they all changed the land to a simple and elegant scene.

After another day of the province, Xue Hainiang just wanted to go back to the courtyard, but was pulled by the Li family and said that he wanted to give her something, although he was puzzled, Xue Hainiang still followed the Li family to Qiushuiju.

On the way, Xue Hainiang asked curiously: "Mother, you said that you want to give your daughter something, I don't know what it is?

Li Shiwan smiled, and a touch of cunning flashed in his beautiful eyes, "Today is different from usual, you will know when you go." ”

With a stomach full of confusion, Xue Hainiang and the Li family stepped into the courtyard of Qiushuiju together.

The Li family loves red plums very much, and the courtyard is full of red plums, which looks like a plum forest from a distance, and it is particularly beautiful in winter.

It coincides with the early winter, the branches are already blooming delicate and delicate, proud of the wind and frost, the snowflakes are flying, the branches are already covered with a layer of white snow, and the blood-like red plum on the ground is more and more vivid.

Under the red plum and in the snow, a touch of cyan shuttles back and forth from the plum forest, the sword is shining, and between the sword light and sword shadows, a large area of crimson is sprinkled, as if it is about to be scattered all over the ground, adding a touch of red to the monotonous and deserted snow.

Xue Hainiang lost her mind.

Growing up in the boudoir since childhood, she is like an ordinary famous noblewoman, she has never seen a man dance a sword, even if she married into the palace as a concubine in the previous life, she is also in contact with a harem woman, even if there are guards and other martial arts are strong, but where is the harem have any opportunities to see these? And Nan Jiuxi has never shown her swordsmanship in front of her, yes, it can be said that she has survived for two lifetimes, and she has been detained in the backyard.

In a trance, a deep, slightly magnetic voice came into my ears.

"Villain Gu San, meet Miss. ”

Xue Hainiang came back to her senses and saw that the pale blue figure was already kneeling on one knee.

The young man in Tsing Yi lowered his head and lowered his eyes, holding a sword in both hands, the sword god was sharp, and there was a patch of crimson on it, which was the red plum in the courtyard.

Xue Hainiang raised her eyes and saw that the sword where the man was dancing was still covered with snow within a radius of a few zhang, and it had not been stained with a single petal.

This man, when he danced the sword, actually took the red plums that fell around him accurately......

Xue Hainiang frowned slightly, "You, who are you?"

Before Gu San could reply, Li Shi had already explained to Xue Hainiang with a smile, "Gu San is the third son of Mama Yi, because he is the third in the family, he is named Gu San, I heard Mama Yi say that Gu San has been running around with the bodyguards of the dart bureau since he was a child, and he has learned martial arts, but in recent years, the dart game has declined, and Mama Yi didn't want him to continue to be outside, so she called him back to the capital." A few days ago, I heard Mama Yi mention him, and I felt that he was full of martial arts, and it was good to stay by your side to protect you, so I brought him over to meet you. ”

Mama Yi naturally recognized that she was the bridal girl of the Li family, and gave birth to three sons with a guard in Xue Mansion, Mama Yi is also a hard-working person, her husband died at an early age, she raised the third son alone, the eldest son is now married, and opened a tavern outside, the second son is a guard under Xue Jingzheng in the house, and Gu San has a stubborn personality since he was a child, and he followed the dart game around before he reached the crown.

Xue Hainiang didn't fully listen to Li's words, she stepped forward and looked down at the man kneeling on one knee, his dark hair was only a cyan hairband with a high bundle, revealing a full and delicate forehead, thick ink-like eyebrows, slightly drooping eyelids, thick and slender eyelashes, a nose like a hanging beam, and a light pursed lips.

"Gu San?"

"The small ones are. Gu San always kept kneeling on one knee, lowering his head and eyes, and his posture was humble.

"Miss Ben asks you, what will you do?"

Gu San said in a deep voice: "The little one has learned martial arts from the master of the Dart Gate since he was a child, although he doesn't dare to say that he is exquisite, but the guard lady is more than enough. ”

The red lips were raised lightly, Xue Hainiang did not let him get up immediately, but was a little aggressive: "There are so many people who are good at martial arts in this Jingshi, if you just need a guard with mediocre martial arts, why does Miss Ben have to be you?"

That Gu San's face turned blue and white for a while, and his heart was full of anger, but because of Mama Yi's instructions before coming, even if there was fire in his heart, he could only force it down.

However, even if he didn't plan to get angry, he didn't want to be belittled like that, so he opened his mouth and wanted to make it clear that he had no intention of staying.

The corners of Xue Hainiang's mouth hooked, "Miss Ben doesn't care what you Gu San knows, but you Gu San needs to know what Miss Ben wants." Do you understand?"

Gu San frowned, he raised his eyes and looked at Xue Hainiang and the others.

It was a pair of eyes as black as obsidian and as bright as stars, as black as dripping ink.

What a pair of beautiful eyes-

Gu San realized that there was some rudeness, and hurriedly lowered his head, "The villain is presumptuous, dare to ask Miss what do you need?"

"I want to take care of your sincerity and loyalty. Xue Hainiang smiled.

Gu San hurriedly lowered his head to show his loyalty, "The villain is willing to guarantee his life with his life, protect each other with his life, and never give up." ”

She stretched out her jade arm and gently lifted up the man who was kneeling on one knee in front of her, and said, "Very good." ”
