Gu Nan drank the tea in his hand, gently put the teacup back on the table, raised his eyes to look at Guo Jia and asked.
"Would you like some tea?"
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Okay."
Gu Nan picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Guo Jia, the sound of water pouring into the cup made a soft sound, Gu Nan also said.
"There is no millennium, only four hundred and sixty-one years ago."
It's been too long, and she can't remember many things clearly. She remembered this matter very clearly, because she counted it year by year.
"Fengxiao." After pouring the tea, Gu Nan smiled and put down the teapot.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you by telling you this?"
Guo Jia looked at the man in white who was smiling at him, and shook his head with a smile.
"The Mr. Gu I know would not do such a thing. As for this matter, Jia has never told anyone, and he will not tell anyone in the future."
"Really, thank you very much." Gu Nan's eyes gradually became fascinated, and he fell into a long and distant memory.
The corners of his lips curled up, and he said calmly: "Feng Xiao, have you read the Historical Records?"
"Naturally." Guo Jia raised his cup and sipped his tea, "This book can be called a masterpiece of historians."
"You may not believe it." Gu Nan laughed at himself, "The Bai Xiao in the historical records is me."
Guo Jia was taken aback for a moment, and then raised his brows in relief: "Now that things have happened, what else can Jia not believe?"
"One thing, I didn't lie to you." Gu Nan said slowly to Guo Jia.
"That year, I was living on the street and I was hungry, so I went to steal an old man's purse. I was caught on the spot. He held my wrist and couldn't break it. The old man looked at me for a long time , let me follow him, I thought I was out of luck, I could not escape, so I had to bite the bullet and follow. Who knows, the old man treated me to a bowl of bean rice and took me home. From then on, I did His disciple."
A hundred years later, Gu Nan never told anyone about this matter, and now there is finally someone who can talk about it.
But when she said it, she was full of emotions, with a feeling that she couldn't explain it clearly.
It's probably the same as when people are old, lying on a rocking chair, thinking about things in their childhood home. Even if there are thousands of words, when it comes to the lips, they can only speak plainly. At that time, Lord Wu'an's Mansion was her home to her.
Seeing Gu Nan's eyes looking outside the hall, Guo Jia also turned around and found that she was looking at a tree outside the hall.
He silently lowered his eyes, and asked after a while.
"Mr. Gu, in the past four hundred years, has someone accompanied you in every lifetime?"
There is nothing to hide, Gu Nan looked at the tree and replied truthfully: "Sometimes yes, sometimes no."
"Then, Mr. Gu."
Guo Jia turned around and smiled gently. Behind is the warm sun outside the hall, and the swaying shade of trees.
"There are still a few years left in Jiayu's life, so let's take it as a walk with my husband for a while."
Probably blown by the breeze, there were slight ripples on the surface of the teacup placed on the table.
Gu Nan turned her head to the side, and the person at the table was smiling at her, but she only moved her eyes away after a few breaths.
"You know the rest of your life is just a blink of an eye for me."
"So what?" Guo Jia asked, "At least, in the blink of an eye, Mr. Gu will not be alone."
won't be alone.
Gu Nan's eyes are on the tree outside the hall. In the past, when the Wu'an Lord's Mansion was empty, she always liked to sit under the tree by herself, thinking that her old friend was still there.
Maybe she was selfish, she didn't want to do it again.
Standing up and leaving the table, Gu Nan said.
"I'm tired today, Feng Xiao, you should go back first, and I won't send you off."
Said, turned and walked away.
"Sir." Guo Jia's voice came from behind Gu Nan: "Jia can only walk with Mr. in the blink of an eye. In the future, there will be countless years. The road is far away and obstructed. On the way, sir, take care of it."
Gu Nan didn't know if he heard it, so he went down the hall.
But when she walked to the back of the hall, she happened to see Lingqi standing there with red eyes.
Seeing Gu Nan, Lingqi looked around in a panic, smiled, and said in a hoarse voice.
"Sister Xiu'er said that she ran out of needles and threads and couldn't find them in the room, so she asked me to come here to look for them."
She picked up a sewing box from a cabinet, lowered her head, and walked down quickly.
Gu Nan watched her leave without saying a word.
······
After dinner, Gu Nan was wearing a bamboo hat and sitting under the green tiles by the yard with Wuge in his arms.
Looking up and looking through the green tiles, the night sky is clear, and a river of stars can be seen in the dark cloudy sky. The night sky dotted with stars is so different from the cloudy clouds that can only be seen in later generations.
That piece of starry sky attracts people's attention, as if it can make people fall into it.
Gu Nan was also engrossed in watching, until there was a sound of footsteps behind her.
"Qi'er?"
Gu Nan asked out loud.
"Hmm." There was a reply from behind, and Lingqi walked to Gu Nan's side and sat down.
Holding this handkerchief in his hand, he slowly handed it to Gu Nan.
"Master, give it to you."
"Oh?" Gu Nan smiled lightly and took the handkerchief. It was a white square handkerchief with a flower embroidered on it. It wasn't very good, but at least it was recognizable.
"You embroidered this?"
"Yeah." Lingqi pretended to look at the starry sky and nodded, perhaps because of the night, Gu Nan didn't see the slight redness on her face.
Gu Nan lowered his head and looked at the flowers on the handkerchief: "What kind of flower is this?"
"Heather flower." Lingqi replied.
Smiling, Gu Nan put Fang Pa into her arms: "Thank you Qi'er."
Seeing that Lingqi was looking at the sky, she also looked at it together, pointing to the star closest to the North Celestial Pole on a whim.
"That star, called the Polaris, never changes, always points to the north."
Lingqi looked at the star that Gu Nan pointed to and thought for a while, then asked Gu Nan.
"Then master, is there a star that always points to the south?"
"Not really." Gu Nan looked up at the sky, smiled and shook his head.
are not there
Lingqi stared blankly at the starry sky, there were obviously so many stars.
The two of them sat there, and after an unknown amount of time, Lingqi's head rested on Gu Nan's shoulder, presumably she was about to fall asleep.
It was cool at night, Gu Nan patted the person on the shoulder and said.
"Qi'er, if you want to sleep, go back to your room first."
There was no response for a moment, and after a while, the person leaning on her shoulder whispered.
"Master..."
"Huh?" Gu Nan didn't hear clearly and turned his ears.
"do not forget me."
The person leaning on her shoulder was murmuring whether he was dreaming or awake.
Gu Nan was stunned for a while, put his hand on her head, and nodded slightly: "Well, no."
Diao Xiu'er finished washing the dishes, and when she came out, she saw Gu Nan and Lingqi sitting together, Lingqi seemed to have fallen asleep.
With a smile on her lips, she took a coat from the room, walked to the two of them, and carefully covered Lingqi with the coat.
"How can I just sleep like this?"
Gu Nan looked at her, and said softly: "After being busy for so long, you should go to rest earlier, and I will take Qi'er back to her room later."
"It's okay." Diao Xiu'er sat down and looked at the small courtyard peacefully, with a very warm expression on her face.
"I also want to sit with you for a while."
