Chapter 137: Year after Year
Gu Wanchao's memory of her father in her previous life was vague, she only knew that when she was eight or nine years old, her father died of illness.
Looking back now, there are still some happy memories, every winter when she goes to the plum garden, she will always sit on her father's shoulder and break a red plum on the branch.
The laughter and laughter of that time are long gone.
My father has long since turned to bones, and the cause of death is so absurd and ridiculous.
It turned out that Li Yu had already had two hearts, and when he had an affair with others, he threw poison and was thinking about Murong Jinhui's death every day.
The final truth seemed to be under layers of veils, Gu Wanchao gradually saw Li Yu's true face, and became more and more chilling and incredible.
However, such an old thing only made Gu Wanchao sad for a long time, and the stars changed, and that Murong Zhao's soul had already changed his body and started another life.
Approaching the end of the year, the Gu Mansion was busy with the New Year's affairs, Gu Wanchao changed into thick winter clothes, looked at the bright sky, and then realized that you haven't asked Gu traitors and old ladies for a long time.
The two elders must have taken care of her weakness, but only Gu Wanchao knew that the excuse of recuperating was just to escape the errand of accompanying the student, so thinking about it, Gu Wanchao was even more uneasy.
If it is still early today, it is better to go and ask for peace, Gu Wan made up his mind.
It rained last night, and it was damp on the other side, Gu Wanchao walked cautiously, for fear of getting his shoes and socks wet, and the hot breath exhaled hazy his vision, and when he arrived at Gu Traitor's yard, he found that it was very quiet inside, and he could vaguely hear two or three coughs, and the coughing sound was very weak, Gu Wanchao almost thought that he had heard it wrong.
Gu Wanchao was about to step into the threshold, but was stopped.
"Towards the girl."
It was the voice of the old lady.
Gu Wanchao hurriedly turned around and said goodbye, "I've seen the old lady." When I looked up, I was surprised by the change of the old lady, who had left a few handfuls of green silk, but now it had turned white.
Old Madam Gu looked Gu Wanchao up and down, her complexion was indeed much better than before, "Okay, good, you came at the right time, the small kitchen made hemp balls today, don't you like to eat it the most?" Let's go together. Her voice was a little weak.
Gu Wan stepped forward and grabbed the old lady's hand, but she looked back at the courtyard door of the second master, if she guessed correctly, the old lady deliberately let her leave.
Here's why.
"Your grandfather has a cold, you are weak, don't get sick."
Xiao Yu'an naturally knew that the old lady's words were just a pretext, but through her heart, she could know the old lady's worries.
"Shi'an is seriously ill, I don't know when I will be able to recover, and now I just hide it from the outside world and say that I feel a cold occasionally, what if the news leaks?"
Gu traitor is seriously ill?
This is something that Gu Wanchao never expected.
"I have to find a way to cure Gu traitorous ministers, now the whole house has to rely on him to take care of it, without him as the backbone, I'm afraid that the people in the house will be disheartened."
Gu Wanchao's idea is good, but it can't be realized, for the sake of the overall situation, now Gu Fu'an's illness is hidden from the outside and inside.
It was difficult for Gu Wanchao to even see him, every time he walked around in front of the courtyard gate for a while, he would be dragged to eat by the old lady who heard the wind.
However, the old lady has a light diet on weekdays, Gu Wanchao ate a table of clear soup and little water, and silently pinched the meat in her abdomen, and sure enough, she lost a little.
I couldn't see anyone, and the original plan had to be shelved.
Because Gu Shi'an was seriously ill, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home was also very deserted, Gu Wanchao hastily bowed to the New Year, was stuffed with red envelopes by several elders, holding the broken silver in that hand, Gu Wanchao returned to the courtyard, and when he inadvertently looked up, he saw a figure standing on the eaves.
"Lord Xiao is so interested, I didn't expect to be this gentleman one day." Gu Wanchao approached with a smile, since Aunt Hua's incident, she hadn't seen him for a long time, and when she really let go of the mustard, she could ask frankly, "Is the injury on your waist healed?" ”
"It's already healed, for you." Xiao Yu'an stuffed the things in his hand into her hand.
"What is this?" Gu Wanchao looked at the brocade box in his hand.
"It's a thank you." Xiao Yu'an in a nutshell.
Gu Wanchao didn't understand, when he opened the brocade box, he was conditioned to be a rabbit hooked with cotton thread, and his appearance was cute, Gu Wanchao's face was happy, and he played with it in the palm of his hand.
The stitches on the outside are delicate, but the inside must be a cotton filling, which is very soft, "You can't make it, right?" Gu Wanchao said to the side, imagining Xiao Yu'an's appearance with a needle and thread.
"What do you think?" Xiao Yu'an saw that she wanted to get into trouble and broke her illusions, "It's my aunt's return gift to you, I was in the Gu Mansion before, thank you for helping you secretly." ”
"It's a gesture." Gu Wanchao thought that the two rabbits were the New Year's gifts she received, but suddenly felt a strange feeling on the top of her head, and subconsciously touched it, but touched a hairpin.
Xiao Yu'an coughed, "I saw it on the street, and I thought it was very suitable for you, so I bought it." ”
Gu Wanchao felt the sincerity of the person in front of her, she had known each other for a long time, Xiao Yu'an was a friend and a bosom friend to her, and she also hoped that they could spend their years and years like this, "New Year's well." Before the words fell, snow fell in the sky, followed by fireworks exploding in the sky, and the scenery in front of me was breathtaking.
Gu Wanchao looked up in surprise, he was very lucky to be able to enjoy the first snow of the year with the people around him.
Ruixue is a good year, and I think the future will be better and better.
Waiting for Xiao Yu'an to leave, Gu Wanchao returned to the room, and couldn't hold back his curiosity and pulled out the hairpin on his head.
It is a silver hairpin inlaid with jade, but the white jade at the top is made into the shape of a rabbit, and the whole body is polished roundly, "no matter how to send rabbits......"
Gu Wanchao muttered, really loving the hairpin, "But it's pretty good." ”
In Gu Wanchao's view, Ruixue was a catastrophe.
This blizzard came suddenly, and it was not yet seen in the capital, but the farmhouse was already covered with snow.
Most of them were refugees from remote areas, and they all poured into the capital, praying that the emperor in the palace could find a place for them to live.
Naturally, the court would not sit idly by, and when deciding how to solve this matter, it did isolate all the displaced people from the city gate, so as not to disturb the order in the city.
The mourning outside the city also caused panic in the city, and everyone was in danger.
Gu Wanchao also learned about this from the servants, "How can there be so many refugees?" ”
"Most of them came from the border, and now the outside world is not very peaceful, and this snow has also provoked those barbarians on the border to move, and the people can't get by, so they naturally want to run to the root of the imperial city, in their opinion, this is the safest." The maid on the side explained.
When Gu Wanchao went out of the city with the eldest lady once, he had to see the scene in front of him.
