Chapter 15: Ten Miles of Warmth

Gu Shiwei didn't answer.

She turned her head to look in the direction of the palace wall, and the pavilion was like a monster with teeth and claws in the dark night, like those so-called big men, and the dead pawns crossing the river were just a move for them.

Who cares about the death of a chess piece?

Guan Zhengqing, who was like a blue sky in the hearts of the people, died so easily in a game against Zhang Chunting.

No one cares who killed him.

Just like back then, no one cared whether her father was innocent or not, nor did she care why she was "killed on the spot" when she had never even entered the palace gate.

Gu Shiwei thought about it, retracted her gaze, she threw the set of keys and threw them back to Wei Changming, "Your Excellency's order, you go and tell Li Sansi." Thanks, but I already have a place to stay. ”

Her place of residence is Mulberry Lane, in the southern corner of the city.

Several mulberry trees were planted in the alley, and when Gu Shiwei returned, he happened to meet the husband who was squinting and napping.

The night was as dark as ink, and there was a small wooden sign hanging in front of the house in the deepest part of the alley, on which the word "Gu Zhai" was simply written. It was still early spring, and the pear blossom trees in front of the door were bubbling with bare branches.

Gu Shiwei didn't knock on the door, his feet lightly touched the ground, and he flew in directly.

As soon as her feet hit the ground, she saw a figure rushing out of the room, carrying a lantern in her hand, dressed neatly and not resting.

"Sister, didn't you say you don't have to wait for me? The affairs of the Imperial City Division are not sooner or later. ”

The person who came smiled, revealing the pear vortex at the corner of her mouth, her voice was very soft, making people lose their temper when they heard it.

"I said that the girl called me Shili directly, how can I afford to be a sister? It's so cold outside, you go to the shower and change clothes first, and then come over for soup, your favorite chestnut chicken soup. ”

Shili looked at Gu Shiwei's pale face and couldn't help but chatter.

"It's raining these days, and the cold in spring is harder than winter, do you have a cough? You don't pick your mouth, just eat pine nut candy, not pear paste candy. The pear paste candy is the best to eat to moisten the lungs. ”

Gu Shiwei's whole person softened suddenly, she fell over, and the whole person hung on Shili's shoulder.

"If you don't give me a sister, who do you want to be a sister? Could it be the pear blossom tree in front of the door? ”

Shili is her personal maidservant, grandmother forced over, born weak and cowardly, has been chattering like a monk chanting scriptures in the temple, she said a word, she was in tears, the whole person seemed to faint.

When she was young, she didn't like it.

Until that day three years ago, Shili went to the mass grave alone, while crying and chirping, while looking through every corpse, digging her out of the pile of dead people, and carrying her step by step to the Chi Cheng writer, saving her life.

She vaguely understood that the reason why Shili was called Shili.

It is probably because no matter how long the road in this world is, under the feet of this person, it is a ten-mile land that can be reached as long as you walk with your head bored.

Shili was hung up by Gu Shiwei and shook him, and he almost didn't fall to the ground.

She patted the back of Gu Shiwei's hand, "Go take a bath first, otherwise the cold will enter the body, don't wash your hair, it's easy to get a headache when it's cold." ”

Gu Shiwei immediately stood up straight and hugged his fists at her, "No, obey the orders of the adults." ”

As she spoke, she rushed to the room, poured hot water into the large wooden barrel, lifted it herself, and then went into the small room dedicated to bathing.

They had just come to Bianjing, and many of the things were newly purchased, and the wooden bathtub still had a natural smell of wood.

As soon as Gu Shiwei poured the hot water into it, Shili walked in with half a bucket of cold water, mixed the water temperature for her, and went to the side to add charcoal to the brazier to make the fire prosperous.

Gu Shiwei took off his clothes and soaked in the water.

Being outside tonight really made her so cold that her sword eased a little, and when she got into the hot water, the whole person felt alive.

Shili stood aside, picked up the scoop of water in the bath bucket, scooped a scoop of water, and poured it on Gu Shiwei's shoulder.

Gu Shiwei has a slender body and a thin waist of willows, which is the most popular slender appearance in Tokyo today. She was born good-looking, if it weren't for something like that three years ago, she would be a girl who can make Xiaolangjun dream.

She thought that her family's Seventeen Niang would become a world-famous swordsman.

After returning home after wandering the rivers and lakes, she told the story of her experience with flying eyebrows, she was skilled in swordsmanship, and she must have sealed her throat with a sword and beat the enemy to the ground. At that time, she would tremble with fright, and then Gu Shiwei would complain angrily, shouting "You can cry no matter how you listen to the story!"

Shili's thoughts were a little far away, and when she heard Gu Shiwei open her mouth, she retracted her thoughts, scooped up another scoop of water, and continued to pour it.

The water flowed down, over the winding and shocking scars, and flowed all the way.

"Sister, I have already selected two people from Renyazi, an old couple. The old man's name is Zhang Quan, it is a handlebar type, he came and asked him to set up a carriage, so that it will be convenient for you to go out in the future. ”

"The woman calls her Mrs. Lin, and you leave all the rough work to her."

When I heard it, I was about to speak in a hurry, when I heard Gu Shiwei say, "I have more important things to do, leave it to Sister A to do." ”

"Three days later, someone from the old house will send things over, you take the list and check it one by one, if there is anything inappropriate. I'm not at home, so don't get into trouble with them, just write it down and tell me when the time comes. ”

"These properties of mine need to be taken care of, and I don't feel at ease when they are handed over to others, Sister will give me a housekeeper."

Gu Shiwei's speed of speech was not fast, and the warm hot water made her pale face finally a little rosy.

When it warmed up, her throat itched a little, and she couldn't help coughing a few times before continuing to talk.

"Chi Tongzuo saved my life, Sister Ah prepared a heavy gift for me, I need to come to thank me."

She was silent for a moment, and then said, "The welcome boy of the soup shop in the market outside the gate of Xineiye is named Liu Yang, you go to him tomorrow and ask him if he wants to do the academic examination, I can tie him up for him, and find a great master for him." ”

Shili listened carefully and silently remembered it in his heart.

After Gu Shiwei finished explaining, he asked curiously, "Sister is at home today, what is new, do you know your neighbors?" ”

Shili was not surprised, Gu Shiwei would often ask her this question.

"Well, Aunt Tang, who lives across the door from us, asked me if I wanted to learn embroidery. Said that it was on the opposite side of Furong Lane, there was a money village that was recently recruiting apprentices, and she heard that I was going to plan to ask if I could teach her little Nier, saying that the big shopkeeper of that house was a girl. ”

"So looking for an apprentice, as long as you can plan the little lady. Word of the news has recently spread in Mulberry Lane. ”
