Chapter 17: Old Age
Gu Yue and Gu Sheng are twins, one month younger than Gu Xiu, and Gu Sheng is the only male grandson of the big house that Gu Huai attaches great importance to.
It's just that although this matter is closely related to them, to be honest, they who are juniors really don't have the right to add more beaks.
The cousins and cousins of the third uncle's family, in addition to Gu Min, the cousin of Xing Er, who got married, there is also Gu Yan, who is a little cold and arrogant, and Gu Yue and Gu Sheng, who are the same age as Gu Xiu, are polite and humble.
Therefore, although the three Gu Xiu sisters were very angry with Gu Huai and Deng Fengxian's eccentricity of the third uncle's family, they did not show any unhappiness when they met Gu Yan's sisters and brothers on the road.
"Eighth sister, you're finally out of the customs, I've been worried about it before.
I went to see you two days ago, and I didn't know what your situation was, so I didn't dare to disturb, I thought that if there was no news, I would go to beg the second uncle and ask him to go and see you, but I didn't expect that you were already out of the customs, by the way, you successfully introduced the breath into the pulse, right?"
As soon as the two sides met, after seeing them, Gu Yue hurriedly walked up to Gu Xiu, took Gu Xiu's hand and said with concern.
Because Gu Xiu and Gu Yue are close in age and are both girls, her own sister Gu Xuan and Gu Shu are busy cultivating, and she and Gu Yue used to be together a lot.
Before the age of ten, there was no qualification, they and Gu Sheng of the same age could be said to have nothing to do, Gu Xiu was busy inquiring about some things in the Divine Realm, and found some books to read, but Gu Yue was very interested in cooking and liked to make delicious food in the kitchen.
Every time I make a new food, I will bring it to Gu Xiu to taste, and after eating, I have to say a word, what are the advantages of each dish, and what are the disadvantages, all of them must be listed one by one.
In Gu Xiu's opinion, although Gu Yue's cooking skills are not as good as the cooks at home, but in the past two years, the older she gets, the more time she has practiced, and the more delicious the food she makes.
"Seventh sister, ninth sister, fourth brother. Gu Xiu greeted the three of them first, Gu Yan only nodded, but Gu Sheng saluted Gu Xuan, Gu Shu, and Gu Xiu.
"I'm ashamed to say it, I've been grinding in the house for half a year, and this is the only time I can successfully lead the breath into the pulse, the ninth sister, the fourth brother, you should have succeeded a long time ago, right?"
Gu Xiu asked, she was not pure modesty, but looked at Gu Yue and Gu Sheng's expressions, and listened to what Gu Yue had just asked herself, and thought about what she said.
Sure enough, hearing her words, Gu Yue smiled and said: "What is the eighth sister talking about, I am only more than four months earlier than the eighth sister, but the fourth brother, he has good qualifications, and he does not need to transform the pulse of breath, and it only took about ten days to successfully introduce the pulse of breath."
What's even more powerful is that two days ago, the fourth brother had already entered the early stage of condensation, alas, thinking that the fourth brother would not need to use the Transformation Pill for cultivation in the future, I was envious. ”
"Ninth sister, what is there to say about this, I have just started cultivating now, and I don't know in the future, besides, qualification is not the only condition for determining future cultivation, there is also understanding, mood, chance, etc., these are very important. ”
Gu Sheng interjected, disapproving Gu Yue's praise.
"Yes, yes......" Gu Yue smiled at Gu Xiu: "Eighth sister, look at him, I'm afraid that he will have a chance in the future, and we ......will look for him to fight the autumn wind."
"Ninth sister, where do I mean that?" Gu Sheng said urgently.
"Okay, I see what you mean. Gu Yue smiled and took Gu Xiu's hand and said: "Eighth sister, in fact, what the fourth brother said makes sense, cultivation not only depends on qualifications, but also other things such as state of mind and understanding are also very important, so like you and me, although the qualifications are not obvious, they may not be able to achieve the avenue in the future, so you must not be arrogant." ”
Gu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Ninth sister is too worried, over the years, I have also read many classics, some of which are the first predecessors to record and recall their own experiences into books.
After reading the experience of the predecessors, I naturally understand that although the path of cultivation is difficult and abnormal, many times, it is 'the mountains and rivers are doubtful and there is no way, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village', although qualification is important, it is not an inevitable factor for success. ”
Gu Yue was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "What Eighth Sister said is very right, that's what I think." ”
He turned his head to look at Gu Sheng and said, "Fourth brother, you can't relax, your starting point is much higher than ours, if you fall behind me and Eighth Sister in the future, see if you are ashamed?"
"Okay, Ninth Sister, don't tease the fourth brother, you know that he is an honest man. ”
Gu Xiu smiled and said, "Seventh sister, ninth sister, fourth brother, the eldest sister and the third sister and I are going to see my mother, so we will go first." ”
Gu Yue hurriedly said: "Then you go quickly, I delayed you, the eldest aunt suffered a big loss this time, but we have to make up for it, the eighth sister asked the eldest aunt on our behalf, and we will go to see her in two days." ”
"The fourth brother is honest and kind, but because of him, our family is passive everywhere, and I am always a little uncomfortable. ”
After separating from Gu Yue's sister and brother, Gu Xuan sighed.
"If you don't feel comfortable, you won't see each other much, but now that we've all tested our qualifications and successfully introduced our breath into the pulse, we will all be busy cultivating in the future, and there won't be many opportunities to meet. ”
Gu Xiu said, she understood Gu Xuan's feelings, but she felt that these were not a big deal, and now their most important task was to earn gold beads and buy pills for cultivation.
The three sisters were speechless for a while, and after a while, they arrived at the Chengxiao Courtyard where Gu Sheng and Guang Haiying lived.
Chunliu, the mortal maid beside Guang Haiying, saw the three sisters, and her face showed surprise, "Eighth Miss, are you out of the customs?" The eldest lady is still worried, the slave is ready to clean the yard, so let's go and take a look, now it's okay, the eldest lady must be very happy to see the three young ladies." ”
Chunliu said, and hurriedly ran to Guang Haiying's door, and called softly, "Big lady?"
Seeing that she was so cautious, Gu Xiu and the others guessed that Guang Haiying should be cultivating, so they didn't make a sound, waiting to listen to the movement inside.
"What's wrong?"
In a moment, Guang Haiying's voice came from inside, but when she heard this voice at first glance, it made Gu Xiu startled, in her impression, Guang Haiying's voice has always been soft and pleasant, but although this voice is also soft, it is much older, even a little older than her grandmother Deng Fengying's voice.
Gu Xuan was also taken aback, Gu Shu sighed: "After my mother had a miscarriage, her body was greatly damaged, and when you see her in a while, don't show anything abnormal." ”
Gu Xiu had tried her best to imagine Guang Haiying's image in her mind that was different from the past, but when she saw Guang Haiying, she was still taken aback.
I saw that Guang Haiying's original smooth green silk was gone, replaced by gray and dry dry dry hair, wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes and forehead, and even his eyes, which were originally moist and translucent, were dyed dark yellow.
