I remember the first time, just after we met, he asked her to go back, which was a refusal, but the action of opening the door was already an endless sincerity.

Gu Qingzhao didn't go down the narrow steps, but stood on the steps, looked at her with his eyes, and said in a slightly cool voice: "Miss An, it's snowing today, and I can't sit on the stone pier over there." ”

An Ning nodded, she knew.

He continued, "So, if Miss Ann doesn't mind, come into the house and rest for a while." ”

The corners of An Ning's lips became more and more obvious, and her eyes were full of smiles, "Thank you, Mr. Gu." ”

Gu Qingzhao clasped the door at the door, obviously waiting for her to go in first.

An Ning lifted the hem of her skirt, stepped on the steps, and once she entered the house, she could store everything at a glance. In the cramped thatched room, the bed was barely large enough for a person's body on one side of the wall, and the bedding was washed white, but it was clean and neatly stacked on top of each other. On the other side is all pots and pans hung on the wall, meticulously, and below is a stove with a little dry wood on the side. Everything is old, but spotless.

On the other side of the bed, there were two small wooden stools, and there were some fragments of charcoal burning next to them, which looked like they were freshly burned.

An Ning looked at the charcoal fire and said to Gu Qingzhao: "Mr. Gu, did you guess that I was coming again?" Because she saw that the charcoal basin was also new, thinking that he usually did not have the habit of burning charcoal pots, the new carbon and the new charcoal basin, An Ning's heart was a little warmer, "Thank you, Mr. Gu." ”

Gu Qingzhao's expression was as usual, as if preparing a charcoal basin for her was just an ordinary thing, and he said in a warm voice: "Have you been infected with wind and cold?" ”

An Ning paused, then shook his head slightly, "It's not a cold, what about Mr. Gu?" "That day he also fell into the water.

Gu Qingzhao said: "No." Miss Ann, sit down. ”

An Ning nodded and walked over to the two small wooden stools, huh? An Ning squatted down and touched the wooden bench, this is also new?

"Ahem." Gu Qingzhao coughed unnaturally, "Knowing that Miss An will come, the sky is getting colder and colder, and it is not appropriate to talk outside." ”

Gu Qingzhao looked like he cared about people, if he let his students see it, his eyes would widen, after all, in winter, when his students came to visit him, they were standing outside the house and talking, how could there be such treatment of inviting people into the house. Those who have entered Gu Qingzhao's cabin so far are afraid that An Ning is the first person.

But An Ning didn't think much about it, he just felt that Mr. Gu was a warm-hearted person.

After the two sat down, An Ning looked at the person opposite and pondered, "Mr. Gu... What are your plans for the future? ”

She will be clear and clear.

Gu Qingzhao got up, "I didn't think clearly." He walked to the stove, and boiled a pot of tea or water on the stove, he took the teapot in his hand, poured a cup of hot water into the teacup next to him, and then under An Ning's gaze, he reached out and put the hot water in front of An Ning.

An Ning took it with her hand, it was water, and the teacup was not hot, and it burned just right.

"This water is boiled, you can drink it, and you can warm your hands." Gu Qingzhao sat down again.

An Ning thanked him again, and the topic was not finished just now.

"Mr. Gu, what are you thinking about? Do you want to enter the court as an official again? ”

Gu Qingzhao's gaze moved to An Ning's glass of water, and he sighed lightly and said softly: "Yes, I am thinking about whether to enter the court as an official again." ”

An Ning remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

"Gu likes the countryside and mountain streams, and he doesn't like the court's calculations. But Yu Chaotang is nothing more than a country and a mountain, and Gu's heart has never been able to keep Gu out of the matter. ”

She knew that it was because of what he had seen and learned since he was a child, and because he was extremely sober, so he didn't want to watch the court sink and the society corrupt.

An Ning looked at his cold eyes cautiously and said, "Come back, Mr. Gu, the court needs you, and the people of Daye need you." During the years you were in, Daye was thriving, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a prosperous age. But after you left, the court's sense of corruption gradually rose, the saint was kind and trusting, the saint needed you, and Mr. Gu's students were also waiting for Mr. Gu to go back. Mr. Gu··· Will bring back the lost. ”

"A sober person infects others. I thought, I know, because I'm too... So. In the past, some people said that there is a great responsibility for the ability, in fact, I think the real meaning of this sentence is that a person who has really seen the heavens and the earth, has the truth in his heart, has seen a grass, a sea, a flower as it should be, and this original appearance has suddenly changed, and everyone says that they have always been like this, because in their cognition it has always been like this. And Mr. Gu, An Ning wants to say that people like Mr. can't deceive themselves, those who have been treacherous are normal, and they have always been like this. ”

"So, sober people have to work hard to make changes."

If it was in the prosperous era, Gu Qingzhao stayed in Dali Academy and cultivated countless talents for Daye, which would be more beneficial to the community than being an official. But after he left, the two princes wantonly colluded with officials in the court because of the dispute for the prince, and some of the students from Dali Academy were rebelled and forgot their original intentions, and those officials who still maintained their original intentions and did not collude with them were gradually cleaned out.

The corruption of official money by court officials and the framing of subordinate officials was the last straw that crushed the camel.

Gu Qingzhao pondered for a long time.

"Miss Ann."

An Ning was looking at the scenery outside the window at the moment, and a breezy sound came to her ears, and she turned around, "Huh? ”

Gu Qingzhao chuckled at the corner of his mouth, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, and his eyes overflowed with a little warmth, which was a smile from the heart.

An Ning was stunned for a while, why in this winter, it feels like a spring breeze.

"Huh? Mr. Gu? An Ning, who came back to his senses, smiled weakly.

"Miss An, just like in Miss Ruan's paintings, is left behind and independent."

Sure enough, he recognized the person in the painting as her.

"Now it seems that Gu and Miss An are people on the same road."

An Ning turned her head sideways again, looked at the snow scene outside the window, and showed an exceptionally bright smile.

There is a word, it is called confidant. The geometry of life meets a confidant, it is indeed ... Someone who can be honored.

Before she came, she wanted to give Mr. Gu a few secret guards to protect his safety, but now it seems that she doesn't need it.

"It's not too early, Mr. Gu, let's take my leave first." She drank all the warm water on the book, Gu Qingzhao took the cup she drank at any time, and if you looked closely, you could find that she used the same one last time.

Gu Qingzhao took out a worn-out umbrella from the corner of the bed, the umbrella stem was slightly thick, and there was a little unevenness on it, and it looked like it was carved by himself, "Miss An, there is a lot of snow on the road, Gu will give you a ride." ”
