Gu Nianzhi advised from the side: "Thank you, cousin, if it really hurts, don't hold on. I know the pain of ankle sprains is really like walking on the tip of a knife."
Xie Qingying was embarrassed. It seemed like she was being pretentious if she tried to shirk it again.
He nodded towards Gu Nianzhi, "Nianzhi, thank you, then I'm welcome."
She moved towards He Zhichu's broad shoulders, narrow waist and inverted triangular shape and gently clung to his back.
Clinging to He Zhichu's stiff shoulders, Xie Qingying thought to herself, she didn't expect that He Shao looked thin, but actually had quite a muscular figure...
Her pretty face was slightly red, and she tied her head on the side of He Zhichu's neck, and was carried by him all the way into the gate of Xiangxuehai.
Gu Nianzhi followed He Zhichu and Xie Qingying, looking around curiously while helping to support Xie Qingying.
No wonder this place is called "Xiangxuehai", because these are the three characters inscribed on a big stone next to the entrance gate.
The houses in Meiyuan are built in an antique style.
The fence is a wooden fence painted with tung oil, and there is a screen wall facing the gate, blocking the scene in the yard.
Walking around the screen wall, an ancient mansion on the top of a hill appears in front of you.
It has green tiles and white walls, black painted corridor columns, front eaves and rear buildings, thin lattice windows covered with snow-white window paper, and a few lanterns hanging under the eaves.
Gu Nianzhi was so dazzled by what he saw that he didn't pay attention to the road under his feet and almost fell down.
Although He Zhichu was looking ahead with Xie Qingying on his back, the corner of his eye was always on Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi's body just turned sideways, and He Zhichu immediately reached out and held her arm firmly.
"Thank you, Mr. He!" Gu Nianzhi thanked him with a smile and helped him support Xie Qingying who was carrying him on his back.
Xie Qingying's mood was like that of a deer, her attention was all on He Chu, and she didn't notice what happened just now.
It wasn't until Gu Nianzhi held her back that she turned to look at her and asked with concern: "What's wrong with Nianzhi? Is something wrong?"
Gu Nianzhi smiled and pointed to the door in front, "We're almost there. I'll ask the people here if they have any medicinal wine. I think safflower oil is very good."
Xie Qingying said with a smile: "Safflower oil is indeed good, but it has a strong smell. If it is not available, temporary ice application will do."
Gu Nianzhi nodded and looked up to see that the door of the mansion in front of him had been opened. A handsome young man wearing a smoky gray cashmere cardigan came out and said in surprise: "Master He? You are finally here!"
Then seeing Xie Qingying carried on He Zhichu's back, the man suddenly showed a narrow smile: "What's wrong with Miss Xie? - Mr. He, is it because you lost the bet, so you have to carry our Miss Xie in?"
Xie Qingying said hurriedly: "Xiao Li, don't talk nonsense. I have a sprain in my foot and can't leave. By the way, do you have any medicinal wine for bruises here? For example, safflower oil?"
"Ah? Are you really sprained?" The young man named Xiao Li glanced at He Zhichu in surprise, and then quickly glanced at Xie Qingying's legs wearing high-heeled boots.
It’s really not easy to walk in these boots when it’s snowing.
Xiao Li's face became serious and he said, "I'm going to find someone to get medicinal wine. Do you want to call another sprain doctor?"
"Don't bother. I have a family doctor at home. Just let him take a look at it later in the evening." Xie Qingying said with a smile. It was too troublesome to refuse Xiao Li.
Xiao Li had his own idea, whether to just want medicine and wine or to call a doctor. He had to look at Xie Qingying's injury before making a decision.
He turned around and opened the thick leather door curtain, letting He Zhichu carry Xie Qingying in.
As soon as he opened the door curtain, soft music could be heard from inside.
The sound like the guzheng and the gurgling spring water are particularly warm and moving on this snowy day.
Gu Nianzhi enjoyed the beautiful music and walked in.
As soon as I entered the house, I realized that this mansion was truly unique.
Here, the three rooms of the ancient building, one bright and two dark, have been opened up and turned into a large living room that can be used as a ballroom.
The left and right sides are divided into several interconnected but relatively independent small spaces by a series of irregular-shaped Duobao Pavilions.
Each small space is equipped with a corner sofa with a simple and exquisite shape in the post-modern style. The ground surrounded by the sofa is covered with carpets of geometric patterns.
In the north right corner, surrounded by green plants, is a small garden landscape.
Xiaoqiaoliushui Octagonal Pavilion, a beautiful girl in ancient costume is sitting in the Octagonal Pavilion playing the guzheng.
The living room is filled with young men and women dressed in low-key and luxurious clothes, sitting or standing in twos and threes, forming small groups.
They were holding cocktail glasses, joking and joking with each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious and friendly.
Gu Nianzhi was amazed: The city knows how to play.
As a country girl, she should go back to the countryside.
He Zhichu and Xie Qingying were nowhere to be seen. Xiao Li, who led them in just now, came over and said with a smile: "Miss Gu, right? Mr. He took Sister Xie to check the injury. Sit down, you're welcome."
Gu Nianzhi also smiled and said hello, "Excuse me, Mr. Li. Xie Qingying is my cousin. I also want to see how she is injured."
"Sister Xie is your cousin? Oh, then you are my cousin." Xiao Li smiled broadly, "My mother is the distant cousin of Sister Xie's father."
Gu Nianzhi had a headache because of this relationship, so he could only say, "Where are they? I'll go take a look."
"Hey, Miss Gu, let's not make light bulbs anymore." Xiao Li stopped her laughing and said, "Isn't it fun here? Can I find a handsome guy to talk to you?"
Gu Nianzhi hurriedly waved her hands, "No, no, I'm just worried about cousin Xie. A sprained foot wearing such high-heeled boots is not a minor injury."
"So I have sent someone to ask for a doctor..." Xiao Li whispered, "Don't let Cousin Xie know..."
His cautious and amusing expression made Gu Nianzhi relax. She nodded and said, "Okay," and then asked him, "You are familiar with Cousin Xie and Mr. He, right?"
"We are very familiar. We have known each other since childhood." Xiao Li looked Gu Nianzhi up and down and said with a smile, "Actually, we played together when we were children, but you definitely don't remember me."
Gu Nianzhi pointed to his head and said with a smile: "Yes, I don't remember things before I was twelve years old so clearly. Some do, some don't."
In fact, she didn't remember anything at all, but because of the lawsuit with Qin Yaoguang and the others, she had to "remember" some things that happened before she was twelve years old, otherwise Lu Jin's secret identity would not be preserved.
Gu Nianzhi is very cautious and will not fall into anyone's trap at any time.
Xiao Li shook his head sadly and added: "But you are much more beautiful than when you were a child. Are you single now? Can I pursue you?"
Gu Nianzhi was amused by Xiao Li's serious look, and said evasively: "I am still young, and now I have to put my career first. But Mr. Li, you are unreasonable. You clearly like the girl who plays the guzheng over there, so why are you here with me? Just asking for words?"
Xiao Li touched his chin and asked doubtfully: "Is it so obvious? I thought I hid it well..."
"When you are talking to me, your eyes look over there every five seconds on average. Do you call this a good concealment?" Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but curled his lips in disdain.
Compared with the king of dramas like Huo Shaoheng, Xiao Li's moral character can't survive more than three seconds in a TV series.
"Hey, isn't she beautiful? She plays the guzheng so beautifully... although I can't understand it at all..." Xiao Li whispered to her, making her very happy.
Not long after, Xiao Li's cell phone rang suddenly.
He took it out, looked at it, stood up quickly and said, "The doctor I invited has arrived and I'm going to pick him up. Miss Gu, please do it yourself."
Gu Nianzhi hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm fine, please leave me alone and quickly take the doctor to check on Cousin Xie."
Not long after Xiao Li left, he came in with someone.
Gu Nianzhi looked up at the door and saw two men and one woman following Xiao Li in.
The man walking next to Xiao Li was tall and tall, carrying a small medicine box and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He looked gentle and elegant. He followed Xiao Li to a small door on the east side of the living room without looking away.
The other man and woman did not follow. They stood at the door and glanced at the situation in the living room.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at the two people curiously, and suddenly felt they looked familiar.
The woman standing at the door had long, straight black hair, with thick bangs covering her slender eyes, very charming.
Snow-white skin, small nose and mouth, face as round as a full moon.
Gu Nianzhi's heart moved, thinking that this woman looked a bit like Wen Shouyi.
But not as bookish as Wen Shouyi.
The man's facial features were good, but his eyes were cloudy and his eyes were vulgar, making him uncomfortable at first glance.
Gu Nianzhi looked away and decided to take one more look at the girl playing the guzheng in the Octagonal Pavilion to wash her eyes.
At this time, the man with lewd eyes also saw the girl playing the guzheng in the Octagonal Pavilion. His eyes lit up and he wanted to rush over to talk to her, but was firmly held back by the woman beside him.
"Second brother, don't look for that kind of woman who can't get on the stage. How many times have you played with this kind of woman? Are you still not tired of it?" The woman who followed the doctor said impatiently, and then pointed in the direction of Gu Nianzhi. , "Even if you have to look for her, look for the one over there. - If you marry her, you will save more than ten years of struggle."
