Chapter 20: Heart-to-heart
Hearing Xiao Yanlin say this, Gu Baiyu breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a somewhat shy expression: "Well, it's good if you like it." ”
Xiao Yanlin made sure that his hands were clean, so he slowly moved on the pair of boots.
"This is the world, no one has ever made boots for me except my mother."
Xiao Yanlin suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Baiyu's eyes, the strong and hot expression almost burned people: "Thank you, Yu'er, this is the best gift I have ever received." ”
Hearing Xiao Yanlin mention his mother, Gu Baiyu was also a little sentimental.
I heard that Xiao Yanlin's mother's relatives were very good, and the old couple had a deep relationship when they were alive, and later Xiao Ruoyun's arrival was somewhat similar to Gu Ruanruan.
Prime Minister Gu was calculated because of others, while Xiao Yanlin's father was depressed because of the death of his wife, and he accidentally had Xiao Ruoyun.
Later, I felt sorry for my wife, and died not long after.
As for Xiao Ruoyun's mother, Gu Baiyu didn't know much about it, and she was probably just an ordinary hard-working woman.
Gu Baiyu thought about what to say to comfort him, so he told Xiao Yanlin the reason why he made these shoes.
"My mother said that a man walks the world, and the shoes under his feet must be good, and she makes boots for my father, hoping to accompany him through the great rivers and mountains of my Daye, I ...... The same goes for my thoughts. ”
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yanlin shook his head after hearing this: "Yu'er, although you are a woman, you don't have to abide by those rules here. What about women? My Xiao Yanlin's wife, as long as you are willing, I will personally take you all over the rivers and mountains of this Daye. ”
"Jiangnan, Dongjing, Mobei, Nanban, Western Suburbs...... You can go anywhere you want. ”
When Gu Baiyu heard this, he remembered that he was confined in the back house and died depressed in his previous life, and he couldn't get out of the boundary of Kyoto until he died, and he couldn't help but redden.
Xiao Yanlin was at a loss: "What's wrong?" Did I say it wrong? It's okay, if you like to stay at home, I can stay with you every day......"
Gu Baiyu noticed his gaffe, picked up the handkerchief and pressed the tears in the corners of his eyes.
"No, I just want to say that since you promised me, you must do it, take me all over the world and experience a life different from other women."
Xiao Yanlin was in Gu Baiyu's gaze, and replied very solemnly: "I will definitely do everything I promised you." ”
He didn't swear an oath, nor did he say anything sweet, but Gu Baiyu felt that he would definitely be able to do it.
This kind of innate temperament that can convince Gu Baiyu, Gu Baiyu feels that there will be no second person in this world to give her this feeling.
Immediately burst into tears and laughed: "Okay, I'll wait." ”
After that, the two talked about some childhood things.
When Xiao Yanlin was young, his family was just an ordinary commoner, and the fun of ordinary children was beyond the imagination of a lady like Gu Baiyu.
Xiao Yanlin saw that she was interested, so he said more.
When Gu Baiyu heard him climb a tree a few feet high to dig out bird eggs, fall down and almost break his leg, he couldn't help but exclaim a little.
Xiao Yanlin only thought she was very cute, and her almond eyes were round, revealing a little bit of playfulness that was different from usual.
Xiao Yanlin loves and pities in her heart, she is still a girl under twenty......
"Love birds? I will take you to Mobei another day, there is the most humane Hai Dongqing there, who is extremely powerful, give you one in captivity, and be able to faithfully protect the Lord at a critical time. Don't be afraid to get separated from me, it can take you to me, no matter when, no matter where. ”
Gu Baiyu's eyes narrowed: "Then will you let me be separated from you?" ”
Xiao Yanlin's throat moved slightly: "No." I'll never lose you. ”
Gu Baiyu was satisfied, "That's good, then you can't do such a dangerous thing, I'll be worried." ”
Xiao Yanlin thought that she was still afraid of the fall that she had just taken out the bird's egg, and said casually: "It's okay, Ruoyun is clever, bring me something to cushion ......"
Suddenly mentioning Xiao Ruoyun, Xiao Yanlin was a little annoyed.
He shouldn't have mentioned his brother.
However, sometimes I was afraid of something, and suddenly there was a familiar voice at the door.
"Big brother, the porter said that there was a guest at home, why don't you call me, who is ......?"
Xiao Ruoyun said half of the word, and suddenly stopped.
He saw Gu Baiyu, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
The atmosphere was a little silent for a while, but Xiao Yanlin opened his mouth first: "What are you doing standing there, come and see Miss Gu." ”
Xiao Ruoyun replied sullenly and walked in: "I've seen Miss Gu." ”
Gu Baiyu also nodded: "Gu Er Shao is fine." ”
An awkward silence followed.
Xiao Ruoyun felt a little restless, thinking about what to say, so he said: "I was thinking of visiting the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I still have to discuss the matter of me and Miss Gu Er, and the matter of the dowry. Even though she was a concubine, I didn't want to embarrass her too much. ”
Gu Baiyu thought for a while, didn't answer Xiao Ruoyun's words, but turned his head to Xiao Yanlin and said, "What does Master Hou mean?" ”
Xiao Yanlin replied cleanly: "It all depends on the meaning of the Prime Minister's Mansion, if Prime Minister Gu Cheng feels that he has forgiven the second lady and is willing to let her marry well, then how much dowry the Prime Minister will give, and the dowry of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei will be doubled." ”
Gu Baiyu nodded, looked at Xiao Ruoyun who was a little unbearable in his eyes, and sighed slightly in his heart.
She still felt that Gu Ruan Ruan had a good hand of cards in her life, and she played poorly.
Even her, an outsider, could see that Xiao Ruoyun still had some friendship for Gu Ruanruan.
Regardless of whether this friendship is promoted by the established plot of the novel, or whether the two people have been in love for a long time, Xiao Ruoyun, the "male protagonist" with soft ears, still has a good impression of Gu Ruanruan, the heroine.
If Gu Ruan Ruan is willing to live a good life with him, everything will slowly get better.
But is Gu Ruan Ruan really the character who can live a good life?
Gu Baiyu has never forced people into a desperate situation, nor will he do the kind of thing that kills them all and leaves no room for anything.
If Gu Ruan Ruan is interested, there will naturally be dowry and dowry.
But thinking of Gu Ruanruan's performance yesterday, Gu Baiyu couldn't answer Xiao Ruoyun immediately for a while.
She pondered for a moment and said, "I have to ask my father and mother about this matter, and I will give you an answer in a few days." ”
Xiao Ruoyun breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and her gaze at Gu Baiyu became a little complicated: "Miss Gu, you are really good, in the past, it was me and Miss Gu Er who were too willful......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Yanlin: "If it's okay, go down." ”
Zhenbei Hou Mansion, Xiao Yanlin has always said nothing, Xiao Ruoyun can only say goodbye and leave.
Xiao Yanlin looked at the back of his younger brother leaving, and the tight strings loosened a little.
He didn't like the way Xiao Ruoyun looked at Gu Baiyu just now.
His lover does not allow anyone to touch him, Xiao thought.
Even if it's a younger brother, it's not good.
When the person left, Gu Baiyu suddenly spoke: "Master Hou, I just deceived the second young master, I can call the shots of my sister's dowry, I just don't want to give him an answer for the time being." ”
