During the Qixi Festival, there are many people who worship the Weaver Girl and the Kui Xing, and the government simply vacates two adjacent halls in the City God Temple, and puts the Weaver Girl on the left and the Weaver Girl on the right for people to worship and pray for blessings.

Outside the temple, there are also many speculative vendors who set up stalls to sell things, and unlike the streets full of lanterns, there are mostly strange knick-knacks, masks, needles, trinkets, etc., and most of the people who stop are young people.

Gu Yunji and his entourage walked straight to the main hall, and as soon as they walked outside the hall, they saw that the crowd was clearly divided.

The young man who prays for fame worships the Kui Star on the left, the young woman who wishes for marriage worships the Weaver Girl on the right, the young man on the left is full of vigor and vigor, and the girl on the right is full of youth in groups, looking orderly and harmonious.

Su Qi was about to walk up the steps, and when he saw Xu Chengyu stopping and not following, he asked, "Won't the mountain chief worship Kuixing with us?" ”

Xu Chengyu waved his hand: "Worship Kuixing is to ask the gods to bless the high school, I don't need to take the imperial examination at my age, so I'd better just go outside, you can go." ”

As he spoke, he turned to Xu Shuhua again: "Shuhua, since you are here, you should also go and worship the Weaver Girl." ”

Xu Shuhua responded and said, "Then you just wait here, and I'll come out in a while." Seeing Xu Chengyu nodding, she turned around and walked towards the Weaver Girl Palace. Gu Yunji and the others stopped grinding and walked to the Kui Star Hall on the other side.

In the Kuixing Palace, on the futon in front of the statue, there were already several young people dressed as scholars, all of whom bowed their heads and chanted words in their mouths, looking very pious.

Gu Yunji has always been not very concerned about ghosts and gods, and the reason why he was in such a hurry to pull Su Qi to worship Kuixing was also to break the ambiguous atmosphere when eating Qiaoqiao's meal. At this moment, he knelt down and hastily kowtowed a few times like others, and then the worship was finished.

Just as he was about to go out, he heard Su Qi say, "Yunji, won't you bow for a while?" Such a perfunctory star will think that you are insincere, you should be like us. As he spoke, he folded his hands and leaned over again.

Gu Yunji turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Su Qi and Cheng Yan with straight bodies and kneeling very upright on the futon. Hearing this, he smiled: "For this kind of thing, you still have to rely on your own ability, and praying to God and Buddha is just to find peace of mind, just have a look." ”

"That's not necessarily, next door is the Weaver Girl Palace." Su Qi cast a narrow look, "Didn't you hear what the vendor who sells Qiaoqiao rice said?" Miss Xu is going to marry a wishful Langjun who is on the high school gold list in the future, if you are not sincere, how can you realize your wish? If you don't win, you won't even be able to fulfill Miss Xu's wish with the Weaver Girl next door! ”

"What do you say?" Gu Yunji felt that they were really getting more and more excessive, and he had to ridicule them when he had the opportunity. But when Su Qi said this, he couldn't help but start imagining: What kind of wish would Xu Shuhua next door make?

Suddenly came back to his senses, and saw that Su Qi and Cheng Yan couldn't hide the smile in their eyes, Gu Yunji's face turned red, he shook his head, suppressed the little thoughts in his heart, and said with some humility: "Worship yourself, I'll go out first!" ”

At this moment, the sunset on the horizon has faded to the point of being completely invisible, the night is gradually sinking, and the lanterns in the distance are lit up with a little streamer, covering the smiling faces of the crowd in the dimness with a layer of softness, which looks colorful.

Gu Yunji walked out of the main hall, and the little heat that had just come out of the hall was cleaned by the cool night breeze, which made him feel relaxed. There were people coming and going at the door, and the place was a little narrow, and when Gu Yunji turned sideways to give way, he happened to meet a pair of eyes that were soft as autumn water next to him.

Looking at the young man's clean and clear eyes, Xu Shuhua was slightly stunned, and then she immediately lowered her eyelashes and looked away casually. Seeing this, Gu Yunji also hurriedly looked away, he looked up at the dark sky, and coughed a little uncomfortably, not knowing what to say for a while.

At this moment, a young man and a young woman walked out of the left and right halls respectively, and the two came together in front of Gu Yunji and Xu Shuhua, lightly touching each other's elbows, whispering something, looking like a pair of intimate lovers.

At this time, Gu Yunji and Xu Shuhua were even more embarrassed, each other's eyes were wandering and their expressions were uncertain, and they didn't even know where to put their hands.

"Ahem, what about that, teacher?" Gu Yunji thought about it for a long time, and finally found a topic to talk about.

Xu Shuhua looked around as he said, and sure enough, he didn't see Xu Chengyu's figure, but he was not in a hurry, and said softly: "Maybe it's to buy pastries, in previous years, Yufangzhai would set up a few stalls in crowded places every festival, and Daddy always had to buy some back when he saw it, so let's wait here for a while." ”

"Oh, that's right." Gu Yunji didn't expect this topic to end so soon, and after he answered it in a curt, there was silence between the two again.

He was thinking hard about what kind of topic he wanted to find again, when he heard Xu Shuhua take the initiative to speak: "Did you do the matter of Fang Zigui?" ”

Gu Yunji didn't expect her to suddenly mention this, she was stunned when she heard this, and then said generously: "I did it, since he threatened you with his reputation, I will also let him taste the taste of losing face." ”

Xu Shuhua looked a little hesitant: "But in this case, I'm afraid of ......"

Gu Yunji thought that she was still worried that Fang Zigui would come back to find trouble in the future, so she said:

"Don't worry, he has the good reputation of Longyang, he shouldn't dare to harass you again, as long as he dares to come, you can call people loudly, even if he pours dirty water on you, others will not believe that the dignified daughter of Xu Shanchang will definitely stand on your side if she can see a person who is a brother of an old man."

Xu Shuhua knew that he had misunderstood, and showed a helpless smile when he heard this: "I didn't mean that, I mean that you don't have to make a grudge against him for this little thing like me." Fang Zigui's father is a cabinet scholar, and he is a very good person, and he is afraid that he will wait for an opportunity to retaliate against you in the future. ”

Gu Yunji understood that he had a wrong idea, and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Miss Xu doesn't have to worry, Fang Zigui is not easy to mess with, and I am naturally not a clay sculpture, so I am not so easy to be defeated." I'm just afraid that I will frame others this time and act unscrupulously, so that Miss Xu will feel that I am acting with means and will not look down on my person. ”

"How so?" Xu Shuhua smiled lightly, "Gu Gongzi taught me a lesson, it's too late for me to be grateful, how can I not look down on it?" What's more, Fang Zigui has a despicable character, Gu Gongzi is not afraid of the other party's evil power to help me, although the means are tortuous, but the result is very happy, this is what a real gentleman does. ”

Being praised by her like this, the corners of Gu Yunji's mouth rose unconsciously, but she was afraid that Xu Shuhua would be under too much psychological pressure because of this, so she still said:

"Whereever, Fang Zigui's misconduct and dirty behavior are unbearable for a person, I just do it casually. Even if someone else was bullied by him that day, I would have stopped it in the same way. ”

Listening to this meaning, if it was another woman who was coerced at that time, would Gu Yunji do the same? It turns out that his care and appreciation are not for himself alone. Thinking of this, Xu Shuhua was inexplicably a little lost.

Gu Yunji retained some women's intuition in his heart, and he instantly keenly captured the change in Xu Shuhua's mood, but he couldn't figure out the origin of the other party's bad mood for a while.

Did he bring up something sad? Or is it a mistake? Or is it because he said that no matter who it is, he will help, and it seems that Xu Shuhua is not special in his heart?

What do you think, too confident. Gu Yunji sighed slightly in his heart.

If she gets angry just because Xu Shuhua's position in her heart is not special, doesn't it mean that she is also very unusual in her heart?

This is inevitably too outrageous, how can he be so important in Xu Shuhua's heart?

Just when Gu Yunji's thoughts were in full swing, Su Qi and Cheng Yan also came out of the Kuixing Palace. The two didn't notice the strangeness between Xu Shuhua and Gu Yunji, and after waiting outside the hall for Xu Chengyu to come back after buying pastries, they made an appointment to see the lanterns together, so the group left the City God Temple and walked towards the street outside.

What a few people didn't notice was that in an inconspicuous corner next to the Kuixing Palace, Fang Zigui, who didn't know how long he had been there, had all the conversations between Gu Yunji and Xu Shuhua in his ears.

At this moment, his face was gloomy, his eyes staring at Gu Yunji's back were like quenched poison, and he gritted his teeth and said secretly: "Gu, Yun, Ji, you wait!" ”
