When Xia Guxin woke up, it was already early the next morning.

He didn't know how he spent the torment of last night, at this time the room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, the original stinging left leg with a cold and comfortable feeling, he turned around in confusion, and saw Xia Qianwei sitting next to his couch with his eyes closed.

His body was still covered with a new thick futon, Xia Guxin had a moment of swaying, and an incredible thought came to his mind, hasn't the third sister been guarding herself in the house?

He was suddenly a little restrained and didn't dare to move, but his eyes couldn't help but stay on Xia Qianwei's quiet and beautiful face. She finally washed off her comical makeup, and at first glance it looked almost identical to the portrait of Madame Yurong that his aunt had treasured.

So in Xia Changfeng's house, he could recognize her at a glance.

"Ahem......" A sudden cough woke Xia Qianwei up, she frowned and stretched out her hand with concern to support the man who struggled to get up, but was avoided by the other party, "Third Miss, the cold room is simple, don't get sick." ”

Xia Qianwei heard the deliberate detachment in his tone, and asked softly and reproachfully, "In the past, Qianwei was not sensible, but my brother blamed me?"

Yesterday, Aunt Su talked about the past, and Xia Qianwei finally understood why the eldest son of the Xia family was a concubine.

But any decent big family will never allow a concubine to give birth to an heir before his wife, and Mrs. Yurong has not come out for many years after marrying General Huaihua, so she persuaded Xia Yihai three times to let her personal maid Aunt Su accept her, and then welcomed several aunts one after another.

Because of this, the former Miss Xia San did not treat the mother and son everywhere and treated them as slaves.

At this time, Xia Guxin's eyes were a little confused, thinking of her two times of mutual protection and help, it seemed that he couldn't believe that this noble sister would be so kind to him.

"I don't dare to ...... it"

Xia Qianwei looked at the humble man in front of her silently, and only after a long time did she sincerely speak, "In this huge general's mansion, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, but my brother is the only one who doesn't need to guard against me." ”

What the?

Xia Guxin raised his eyes in surprise to meet her gaze, pursed his lips, only to feel that his throat was a little dry, and the darkness and inferiority complex that he tried his best to hide seemed to be seen through by her at a glance, and he suddenly felt that there was nothing to hide.

"Will my brother teach me how to paint in the future?"

He was slightly stunned, and didn't seem to react to Xia Qianwei's meaning, could it be that she had been to her study?

Xia Guxin's eyes were a little darker, and the calligraphy and painting skills that he was once proud of could not support his emotions at this time, and from the moment his faith was destroyed, it was decided that the only remaining self-confidence would slowly collapse.

"As long as the third lady speaks, my father will definitely find a famous teacher for you, why bother to raise me. ”

"What if I just want my big brother to teach?"

Xia Qianwei's voice carried a bit of a delicate smile, which made the originally cold room spread a trace of warmth.

Xia Guxin looked into her eyes, and was a little flattered for a while, in his opinion, he was a subordinate who was not even worthy of talking to Xia Qianwei, why did she ...... Comforting him like this?

There was a sudden burst of warmth from the back of the cold hand, Xia Guxin couldn't help but stiffen, and looked down in a daze as she held herself without taboo, subconsciously wanting to break free, but Xia Qianwei grabbed it tighter.

Qianwei understands the grievances of the eldest brother, these nine years are the most precious years for men, and the long eagle still needs to spread its wings and accumulate strength, not to mention the ambitious and talented people. ”

Xia Qianwei's voice was deep, as if there was an irresistible magic, which gradually touched Xia Guxin's heart.

"Everyone said that Miss Xia San was unlearned, unskilled, brutal and willful, compared with the eldest brother who was trapped in the bamboo garden but insisted on reading a wide range of books, Qianwei was the real waste of time. But if your eyes are trapped by the past, how can you see the bright road ahead?"

Xia Guxin's eyes moved slightly, and the corners of his delicate mouth trembled slightly, "In the future, I am already half a waste......

Why does Mama Liu want to steal her eldest brother's calligraphy and paintings and sell them? Even a vulgar person can see the talent of the eldest brother, why do you want to be arrogant?!"

Xia Qianwei's angry expression made him so panicked that he couldn't say half a word, but his hand subconsciously touched his leg.

He is a nine-foot man who is the son of a general, but he can no longer ride a horse to hire Xi Wu to defend the country, his heaven and earth have long been bound in this small side courtyard, and the sky Liaoyuan has nothing to do with him anymore, how can this not make people despair?

"What if I say, 'Big brother's leg can be healed?'

Xia Guxin was shocked, raised his eyes in disbelief, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly, "My aunt has invited several doctors, and they all said that I can only drag this broken leg ...... in this life."

"Just because they can't do it doesn't mean I can't. ”

Xia Qianwei's eyes were firm and confident, she had also hesitated before, and she clearly told her that she should not trust anyone in this life, but in the face of Xia Changxin, she couldn't sit idly by.

The poems he writes do not have the slightest resentment, only endless melancholy, and the paintings he paints are all magnificent scenes of the mountains and rivers in his dreams.

How can a person who always thinks of himself as a sin be a great traitor?

So Xia Qianwei wanted to believe it again, maybe God let her meet this face just to give herself a chance to forgive her sins.

"You ......"

I wanted to take her words as a joke, but maybe I heard too many times that I was powerless, and suddenly someone said that he was still saved, and his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a few beats, and an expectation inexplicably rose, and Xia Guxin also felt that he was crazy.

"The miracle doctor who detoxified the second brother is also good at various bone grafting methods, I don't know if the eldest brother knows the general Qi Han of the Yun Kingdom?"

"It's the ...... who broke his leg bones on the battlefield by the Jin State war horse"

"Yes, General Qi Han's broken leg was healed by this god, if she is willing to come, can the eldest brother dare to give it a try?"

Xia Guxin couldn't describe his mood at the moment, he only felt that he had just fallen into the boundless hell, but suddenly there were hands stretched out to him, wanting to pull him out of the bottomless quagmire, he should have nodded and agreed without hesitation, but he seemed to think of something......

"Me, is that okay?"

At this time, Xia Qianwei slowly stood up, looking at his hesitant expression, "No one can make a decision for the eldest brother, but there are two paths in front of him, in Qianwei's opinion, staying in the bamboo garden forever is not all bad, at least you can stay away from the rights and wrongs outside, once you step out of this courtyard, the eldest brother is ready to face those jackals, tigers and leopards who want to tear you and me to pieces at any time?"

Xia Guxin gradually quieted down, and noticed a figure standing quietly outside the house, it was his aunt who was suffering for him.

Maybe it's because of unwillingness, maybe it's because of self-blame, thinking of the cold eyes and ridicule he and his aunt have suffered over the years, nine years...... Enough is enough, his sins have been atoned for, is it the turn of those whose hearts are sinister to pay the debt?

The man's eyes moved slightly, and then he took a deep breath and raised his head, "Third sister, if you can, I want to fight again......"
