When the winter snowflakes fell, Xu Ping'an was already able to walk all over the ground steadily.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the Gu Mansion was bustling.

Several people sat around the fire, outside Gu Ruyan took Xu Ping'an and Ming Yichun'er to set off artillery battles, and Xu Jue leaned on the pillar in front of the hall door to watch.

The city is full of fireworks tonight.

Gu Mingzhu sat by the fire with Gu's mother, listening to the laughter outside, Gu Mingzhu made a cup of Longjing before the rain and handed it to Ning Qing, who took it and sighed: "The New Year at home has not been so lively for a long time. ”

She felt it for a while, Gu Mingzhu's expression flashed and she was stunned for a moment, and said, "In the future, I will often come back with peace." ”

Gu Mu smiled and said: "He's used to you, which country has nothing to do with going out of the palace every day?" ”

Gu Mingzhu turned his head to look at the figure at the door and said, "It's okay anyway." ”

Gu Mingzhu is indeed right in what she said, she is alone in the entire harem, there are no other doors or other halls, the maid ring in the garden is in charge of Chun'er, and other affairs are asked in the early autumn, she doesn't want to ask about the things in the court and doesn't bother to ask, everyone tacitly doesn't want to move trivial matters to her, Gu Mingzhu's life is simply freewheeling.

Gu's mother smiled with relief, and said, "It's time to ask Master Xi for advice after the safe Chinese New Year, right?" Has anyone chosen one? ”

Gu Mingzhu had been annoyed about this matter for a while, and said, "Not yet." ”

Since Xu Ping'an can walk, the whole person has become more and more uneasy, uneasy in the world in the palace, hollowed out her mind to go out, at first she didn't have any opinions, but later, there were rumors that the little son of the Prime Minister's Mansion was beaten, and then there were rumors that the two-year-old young master of the Second Lieutenant's Mansion was beaten by a milk doll and cried......

At first, Gu Mingzhu couldn't suspect Xu Ping'an's head, after all, she couldn't imagine how the one-year-old Xu Ping'an held down the two-year-old child to beat her, until she finished lunch that day, Gu Mingzhu thought that it was cold, and it should snow heavily in a few days, and wanted to tell Chun'er to buy some candied fruit in advance, so as to save the snow and run away.

The hall was empty, and the cold wind was howling outside, and after Gu Mingzhu called Chun'er twice and didn't get a response, he stepped out of the door to look for it in confusion.

The three of them sneakily gathered in the corner at the end of the porch.

Xu Ping'an grabbed the corner of Chun'er's clothes with one hand, and grabbed the hilt of Mingyi's sword with the other, begging left and right, his words were not very clear, but Chun'er and Mingyi knew him very well, and they knew what he was going to pull as soon as Xu Ping'an pouted.

Chun'er persuaded bitterly: "No! If you let the young lady know, you won't be able to run away from the punishment this time! ”

Xu Ping'an turned around and looked at Ming Yi: "One ...... One Uncle ......"

Ming Yi also looked at him and shook his head with a serious face, and said very directly: "Miss doesn't know about the last time you injured the little son of the Wei family, the last time you cried about the young master of the Prime Minister's family, and the last time you ...... it"

Ming's mouth suddenly closed, and the whole person froze.

The cold wind was too strong, and the three of them were too focused on the discussion, and he didn't hear the footsteps of anyone approaching at all.

Gu Mingzhu clasped his arms not far from the three of them, narrowed his eyes, and sneered: "Say, why don't you continue?" ”

The three heads turned around in unison, and their faces were all shocked.

Gu Mingzhu's expression suddenly appeared angrily, and he strode over a few times, and picked up Xu Ping'an with one hand: "What did you tell me?" Miss your grandmother? Xu Ping'an! You're dead! ”

Xu Ping'an fluttered like a small fish in the air, babbling and shouting: "Mother...... Mother's ......"

——

Gu Mingzhu shook his head helplessly.

Gu Mu was surprised: "There is no one feasible in the Manchu Dynasty?" ”

Gu Mingzhu calmly took a sip of tea and said, "There are quite a few celebrities with outstanding literary talents, but I just met such a bad ...... I'd better not harm the readers. ”

Gu's mother smiled dumbly and said, "Why is Ping'an so skinny, it's normal for boys to be lively." ”

Gu Mingzhu said: "You guys just get used to him." ”

The mother and daughter chatted about some daily trivial matters again, and couldn't resist the excitement outside, the two went out of the hall, and Gu Ruyan was ready to take them out to play.

Xu Ping'an's white hand beckoned in this direction: "Grandmother ......"

Gu's mother trotted forward with loving eyes.

The two followed behind the team, and after walking for a while, Xu Jue stretched out his hand to hold her, and at that time they had reached the lively street, and someone was lighting Kong Ming lanterns by the moat not far away.

Gu Mingzhu remembered that when he was a child, when Gu Xiurong was still there, every year he would take himself out to put on the lights, visit the night market in Gusu City, and buy a string of sugar gourds, and when he was tired of playing, he would carry her home without hesitation.

Gu Mingzhu stared at it for a while, until a white Kong Ming lantern that had not yet been unfolded was handed to her.

Xu Jue said: "Let's put one too." ”

Gu Mingzhu nodded, cooperating with people, Xu Jue lit the lamp, and after waiting for a while, the lamp body puffed up, and the faint yellow and bright Kong Ming lantern was slowly released.

Gu Mingzhu has never believed in ghosts and gods, but like the people on the side, he closed his eyes religiously: the new year, the year is safe.

Gu Mingzhu opened his eyes, looked at Xu Jue and smiled, the two stood under the tree, Xu Jue held the person tightly, and walked towards the long street.

Chinese New Year's Eve is followed by New Year's Eve.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Gu Mingzhu was playing with Chun'er in the yard, Xu Ping'an was sweating after running, and his face was flushed, but he was still young, and the whip was waved in an orderly manner.

I was having fun when someone came at the gate of the park.

Gu Mingzhu handed the drawstring to Chun'er on the side, and stepped forward with a smile.

Liu Qige and Xu Jue walked side by side, and when they saw her, they saluted: "Master." ”

Gu Mingzhu said: "When did you arrive?" What about Yueyan and Ah Yan? ”

Liu Qige said: "There are many affairs in the Southeast New Year, Yueyan can't leave for the time being, and the princess can't come back for a while when she goes to Liangzhou." ”

Gu Mingzhu nodded, the three of them walked forward, Gu Mingzhu said, "How is Liangzhou?" ”

Liu Qige said: "After the winter of Biansha, he continued to provoke, but the movement was small, and it was not worth making a big move. ”

Gu Mingzhu wanted to ask Yueyan about the current situation, the last time they met was a long time ago, and the letter was also written in three months or half a year, just about to open his mouth, suddenly a thin black shadow was thrown towards Gu Mingzhu without warning, Xu Jue reacted very quickly, reached out to catch it, and although he caught it, he was hit on the back of his hand by the gyro whip.

Gu Mingzhu's face darkened in an instant, she turned her head and confronted Xu Ping'an, who was standing and didn't dare to move.

The little man was so frightened by Gu Mingzhu's face that he was about to cry in the next second.

Gu Mingzhu was pushed to the extreme by what he had done this month, and squinted: "Tears will hold back my tears!" ”

Xu Ping'an couldn't control it, opened his mouth and cried.

He cried and wanted Chun'er to hug him, Chun'er took a step back, and wanted to find Mingyi with teary eyes, only to find that Mingyi was sitting on the roof, looking left and right, there was no way to cry while closing his eyes and walking towards Xu Jue, howling and shouting: "Daddy...... Daddy......"

Xu Jue picked the person up and said with a serious expression: "If you cry again, I can't control your mother from beating you, and didn't your father teach you, don't men flick when they have tears?" ”

Gu Mingzhu was stunned: "Xu Ping'an, do you know that after the New Year, you will have to read and break words!" You have a playful temperament, even if you invite the master, most of you will be angry with you! If you do this again, believe it or not, I'll throw you out the door! ”

Xu Ping'an seemed to understand and didn't seem to understand, but he cried louder and louder, and finally the movement was too big to attract Ning Qing, hugged Xu Ping'an and asked, Gu's mother, who was distressed about her grandson, immediately turned the artillery fire and said Gu Mingzhu, and finally said: "Isn't it to teach Master Xi?" Isn't Liu Gongzi back? Wouldn't it be nice to let him teach peace? What are you doing in the New Year! ”

It's really a next-generation pro!

Gu Mingzhu was angry and smiled: "...... Mother, you should get used to him! ”

"I'm just such a grandson, I'm not used to anyone!"

Gu Mingzhu couldn't tell her, so she simply shut up.

So on the fourth day, when Xu Ping'an got up early in the morning and wanted to go to his mother to hug and play as usual, there was no one in the garden.

Xu Ping'an pushed door by door with his little short legs, and finally cried so much that it was earth-shattering.
