Chapter 35: Threats

Waiting for Gu Yan to sleep at night, Chu Yu returned to the room, staring at the days on the yellow calendar that were circled by himself, today is the ninth day of October, Chu Ruoyu's birthday.

She opened the drawer and took out the little figure she had carved yesterday, which she carved as she saw Chu Ruoyu outside the palace gate last time. The villain was wearing an official uniform, his facial features were delicate and handsome, his posture was straight, and he was smiling at himself.

Chu Yu lay on the table and stared at it quietly. The candlelight fell on her long eyebrows, reflecting the girl's boundless longing.

After staying in the car for an afternoon, she thought clearly, since the Gu family came back from Gu Yan, they have been involved with the Chu family, and there will only be more days when everyone will see each other in the future, instead of panicking and reappearing in front of them like old people, it is better for everyone to pretend not to know each other, and let them treat themselves as if they were really dead, and died in the fire that year.

"Brother, forget about Ah Yu!" Chu Yu wiped the thoughts from his eyes, resolutely put the villain back in the drawer, and added a lock to lock it.

During the days when Gu Yan was recuperating in the East Courtyard, it rained for a long time. In the blink of an eye, in November, as the weather got colder and colder, Chu Yu changed into a Qingqi placket jacket, embroidered with a circle of pink plum blossoms on the skirt, and when she ran into Gu Yan's house, she always shook off the raindrops on her hair while sighing.

"You can't hold an umbrella?"

Gu Yan saw her like this several times, and finally couldn't help but say a word to her.

She put the food box in her hand on the table, and then went to his desk to add charcoal fire, and said disapprehantly: "It's just a drizzle, don't be so troublesome." ”

"You're so lazy."

Gu Yan pursed his lips, then took out an umbrella and stood by the door.

Chu Yu looked at him, bent his eyebrows and said, "This is the Xu Ji dim sum you are clamoring to eat, it has just been baked, hurry up and eat it." When she had taken out the snack, she stepped aside and carefully wiped her rain-soaked hair with a handkerchief.

"Come, I'll help you!"

Gu Yan looked at her and spread out his hands.

"What?"

Chu Yu's face was dazed.

"Give me the veil."

"Oh."

Chu Yu no longer twisted, and calmly handed it over.

I don't know if the charcoal fire in the house is too warm, Chu Yu feels that as soon as he gets close to him, his body is not so cold. He raised his head and carefully wiped her hair, each stroke fell very gently, the pine fragrance on his body filled his nose, Chu Yu stared at his shocking appearance, and felt like he was in a dream.

"Alright."

After wiping, he handed the handkerchief back.

"Gongzi Xie."

She hurriedly restrained her strange look and distanced herself from him.

"Tomorrow is the day when the martial artists make a list, so you can accompany the old lady and the fourth lady to Hanshan Temple to pray for blessings." Gu Yan's eyes did not leave the book and instructed her.

"The slave has written it down." Chu Yu didn't think much about it.

The New Year is approaching, and the high-ranking families in Bianjing have begun to go to the temple to pray for blessings, praying for the safety and smoothness of everything in the house in the coming year. As early as a few days ago, Grandma Sun in Xie's house went to the courtyards to say hello.

The next day, after Chu Yu saw Gu Yan take office at the gate of the mansion, he hurriedly followed the convoy of Yuwangfu towards Hanshan Temple. Hanshan Temple is outside Bianjing ~ outside the city, and it takes a day to come and go, so they have to stay in Hanshan Temple for a night.

"Mother, you see, he is an exception, as if everything in King Yu's mansion has nothing to do with him."

Watching Gu Yan's carriage walk away, the Cao family began to whisper him in Xie's ear.

"If he doesn't want to go, he won't go, and his body is just right, so he is not suitable for tiring travel." Xie didn't seem to take it to heart, and was helped into the carriage by Grandma Sun.

"You mouthy."

Sending his mother to the carriage, Gu Yanchang turned around and scolded Cao.

"Oh, even you're going to make me up? Yes, you treat others as a precious son, but they don't take you seriously. ”

Cao and he argued with each other and got into the carriage.

After a day of driving, when it was getting late, the convoy of Yuwangfu fell to the foot of Hanshan Temple.

Hanshan Temple has always been full of incense, especially in this kind of blessing season, the people who come to offer incense are endless, even if the sky is dark, you can see the people walking in a hurry in the twilight.

There are also many carriages from the noble mansion of Gaomen, which have stopped at the foot of the mountain. Among them, there are also Chu families.

Yuwangfu offers a lot of incense to Hanshan Temple every year, and when the convoy of the palace arrives, the abbot of the courtyard is already waiting at the foot of the mountain.

"Old lady, the eldest lady of the prince is tired of traveling and driving, the meditation room has been prepared, please come with the old man." Seeing Xie Shi, Gu Yanchang and others getting out of the carriage, he stepped forward and saluted them.

"There is Abbot Lao."

The people of Yuwang's Mansion all saluted him in return and followed him up the mountain.

The meditation rooms of the masters of the house are arranged in the courtyard of the temple backyard called the Shengdao Courtyard, and there is a hundred-year-old banyan tree growing in the courtyard, revealing the solemnity and solemnity of the century-old temple.

Xie's room was arranged in the middle, and the rooms of Gu Yanchang, Gu Yuan, Gu Sheng, Cao, Lan, and Gu Qianqian fell on both sides, and men and women were divided into Xie's sides.

Xie went to bed early, and after praying a few Buddhist scriptures for dinner, he fell asleep. As soon as she stepped out of the threshold and closed her door, Chu Yu was immediately stopped by Shen Mo and took her to Gu Yuan's house.

"The eldest prince?"

Chu Yu watched Shen Mo close the door, looking at the person leaning on the meditation seat with vigilance.

In the pure land of Buddhism in Hanshan Temple, Gu Yuan even had a wine bottle on the table, he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup lazily, lifted the wine bottle and came to her, the next moment her hands were clamped behind her by Shen Mo, Gu Yuan pinched her chin hard, his eyes were covered with drunkenness and sneered: "Ah Yu, you dare to call the old lady to check and balance me, punish me for kneeling in the ancestral hall for seven days and seven nights, betray me, you should know what the end will be?!" ”
