The place where Gu Nanxian lives is a large courtyard with four entrances and four exits, and he is not alone in it. In addition to the opera actors in the courtyard, there were also men brought by Gu Zhulan from other places.
As a newcomer, and a newcomer who receives special care from Gu Zhulan, Gu Nanxian has become a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh of other people in the yard.
They formed a small gang, isolated Gu Nanxian, and even began to bully him under Gu Zhulan's nose.
The daily necessities distributed by the stewards were secretly seized by them, and clothes and beddings were occasionally splashed with water. Recently, it even got to the point of fistfights.
The leading man was named Chen Wu. He was the strongest and the first one to start bullying Gu Nanxian.
"Hey, don't slap me in the face." Chen Wu's brother Chen Wen was also brought into this courtyard by Gu Zhulan. The two brothers worked together and became the top gang bosses in the yard.
Although Gu Nanxian had practiced martial arts for a period of time, the opponent was outnumbered and he could only return some punches and kicks at the beginning, but in the end he could only curl up and receive the beating as he did now.
After the gang had beaten enough, Chen Wen bent down and grabbed Gu Nanxian. When he saw the embroidery of rich and noble flowers at the end of the red hairband he tied on his forehead, he looked jealous and said, "Is this the second girl's thing? "
Gu Zhulan's things will be embroidered with a bright red peony flower. This hair tie was tied to Gu Nanxian's forehead by her when they first met.
After entering Gu's house, Ginkgo brought a lot of forehead wipes for Gu Nanxian to use, but Gu Nanxian still had a soft spot for this hair tie. He originally wanted to keep it well, but in recent days, people like Chen Wen and Chen Wu have been rummaging through his things and making off with them.
Gu Nanxian had no choice but to tie the hair tie back on his forehead.
Gu Zhulan's things are naturally excellent, even a small hair tie is a treasure that can protect her from fire and water. Gu Nanxian wears it every day, and the color of the hairband is still as bright as before.
Chen Wen stretched out his hand to grab the hair tie, but Gu Nanxian, whose face was pale after being beaten, found the strength from nowhere and knocked him away with his head sullen.
Chen Wen took a few steps back, bumped into Chen Wu behind him, and cursed angrily. Chen Wu patted Chen Wen's shoulder comfortingly, then went up and beat him again.
Gu Nanxian clutched the hair tie in his hand tightly, and was kicked in the stomach by Chen Wu who was standing beside him. He curled up in pain.
"Damn it!" Chen Wu scolded and hit at the same time, with such fierce momentum that even Chen Wen on the side was stunned. After a while, he stepped forward and stopped: "Brother, brother, stop fighting, someone is going to die." .”
Gu Nanxian has been breathing out more and taking in less air, but he still protects the hair tie.
Chen Wu cursed: "Fox."
The vixen Gu Nanxian's eyelashes trembled, as if his body had been reassembled. The clothes were disheveled and lying on the dirty mud floor. The skin exposed underneath was white and thin, making her look like a woman. And her figure remained as soft and slender as in the theater, and the way her hair was spread out now gave off an indistinguishable androgynous beauty.
The men in the yard were stunned. Some people who have not tasted meat for a long time actually have other thoughts.
Those actors were low-class things to begin with, and it was not uncommon for them to be favored by the powerful and brought into the palace and become male favorites. And someone as good-looking as Gu Nanxian would not have been able to escape this fate if he hadn't been taken away by Gu Zhulan first.
But who knew that Gu Mansion was a good place? Some old people have been here for a long time, and they often see the men in the yard being sent out in twos and threes, and then never coming back. There is no sound from the bird, as if it has suddenly disappeared from this world.
The Gu Mansion looks like a nest of gold and silver, but in fact it is a purgatory.
"What are you doing?" A coquettish voice came from the door of the courtyard.
Su Baiyue, who was just passing by to take a look at Gu Nanxian, immediately became angry when she saw the male protagonist who was beaten like a chicken.
When a large group of men saw Su Baiyue's charming face, they all stepped back in panic, completely exposing Gu Nanxian who was curled up on the ground in embarrassment.
Su Baiyue held back her anger and saw that Gu Nanxian, who she had raised for a month and finally gave birth to some meat, was being tortured like this, and her aunt's heart was about to explode!
"Gu Nanxian." Su Baiyue raised her skirt and knelt down next to Gu Nanxian, took out the handkerchief and wiped his face.
The soft and fragrant feeling rubbed on his cheeks. Gu Nanxian struggled to open his eyes and saw the woman squatting next to him. It's still that pretty face, as bright as a brilliance, and it's as hot as the sun, and your eyes will be burned even if you look at it for a second. The woman in front of him was separated from him by a huge chasm. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't even touch her toes.
Gu Nanxian clutched the hair tie in his hand, his eyes suddenly darkened.
He is too weak.
After wiping Gu Nanxian's face clean, Su Baiyue took a closer look and found no injuries on his face, but she felt even more angry.
These men actually know how to hit someone without slapping someone in the face so that she won't find out. After all, according to Nan Xian's temper, although she looks gentle and soft on the outside, she is the most stubborn and serious person on the inside, and she will definitely not come to snitch on her.
Su Baiyue glared angrily, turned around and said to Ginkgo who was following her: "Go and move a box of gold from the vault for me."
At such a young age, he actually learned to bully the weak and became violent in the yard.
Most of the men in this courtyard are only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the oldest is no more than eighteen, which is still a high school student in modern times. Real school violence!
Ginkgo bowed and went, and after a while she led the two women to bring the gold. Everyone looked at each other guiltily, not knowing what Gu Zhulan was going to do.
"Here are one thousand taels of gold. If you have a fight, whoever wins will have this box of gold."
It is so simple and crude, which is very consistent with Gu Zhulan's wealthy nature. After all, anything that can be solved with money is no big deal.
Everyone's eyes changed instantly. Such a large box of gold, a full thousand taels, is right in front of you, at your fingertips. Ordinary people can't earn money even if they work hard for ten lifetimes, but now they can get it just by working hard.
Under the temptation of money, a bunch of people are ready to make a move.
These young people have stayed in the Gu Mansion for so long, so they naturally understand why Gu Zhulan did this. This was to vent his anger on Gu Nanxian.
Everyone's eyes moved to Chen Wu and Chen Wen. And the two brothers actually still had smiles on their faces. They are the bosses in this yard, so they should naturally take the money. It seemed that the second girl Gu didn't like Gu Nanxian, a foxy guy, much. They beat him up and they still got some money.
The two of them were still complacent, and it was at this time that the accident happened.
It is said that the brave will be starved to death and the timid will be starved to death. Someone took the lead and picked up the thinner Chen Wen to hit him with great discernment. It's like a signal. Those who usually followed Chen Wen and Chen Wu's lead suddenly besieged the two brothers.
Chen Wen and Chen Wu were caught off guard, and they also experienced the pain of being unable to defeat four hands with two fists. In just a moment, he was beaten to the point of losing his human appearance. He huddled on the ground, wailed, howled, and even cursed, but the beating was only worse.
Yes, we also know how to deal with the leader first, and then internally digest and resolve conflicts.
Su Baiyue nodded, very satisfied with the result.
"Ginkgo, clean him up and send him to my room." Su Baiyue pointed at Gu Nanxian from a distance, then turned around leaving a bunch of men who were fighting fiercely.
Gu Nanxian was carried by two women, took a bath and washed, and then sent to Gu Zhulan's house.
Su Baiyue inherited Gu Zhulan's extravagant nature. Her house was filled with rare treasures, and her food and clothing were all excellent. Gu Zhulan also liked those gorgeous things, so the whole room looked particularly magnificent, yet elegant. It was really a gold and silver nest in the world of wealth.
But the most eye-catching thing in the golden cave is the beauty lying on the couch.
Inside the purple mosquito net, the beauty is wearing a thin shirt and seems to be taking a nap. A section of white and tender lotus root arm rests on the edge of the couch, with its thin wrist bent softly. A blood-red precious jade bracelet was stuck there, making her skin like snow and her slender wrists stand out.
Gu Nanxian forgot about Ginkgo's instructions, so he opened the reed curtain and walked a few steps forward. Suddenly he saw a fluttering white dumpling at the end of the couch. It was so furry and cute.
The white dumpling was as big as a palm, whimpering like a small snow dumpling, and was licking Su Baiyue's feet hard.
Gu Nanxian looked down from Su Baiyue's slender waist to the little foot that was lifted out of the silk quilt by the white dumpling.
When they first met, Gu Nanxian couldn't forget this foot. He didn't know what evil possessed him, but it was clear that Gu Zhulan's whole body was extremely beautiful, but he admired her feet the most. She felt soft and fair, which was very different from her charming and attractive face.
It's like a soft core hidden under a cold and hard skin. If you pinch it, it can turn into water.
The cushions and mattresses next to the couch were elegantly furnished. There was a white dumpling sitting there, slightly bigger than the jade-footed one, but still as big as a palm.
Hearing the noise, it looked towards Gu Nanxian with eyes as wide as black grapes, and then immediately bared its teeth and made a threatening sound. It's just that the threatening voice was so soft and soft that it didn't wake Nan Xian's mind back.
Gu Nanxian walked towards the couch without stopping, with the white jade foot in his eyes.
Su Baiyue slept very peacefully. There were plenty of ice cubes in the room. She was not afraid of the heat, but her toes felt wet as if they had been soaked in water.
After opening the door with difficulty, Su Baiyue suddenly saw a black head at her feet. She was startled, and then kicked it.
Gu Nanxian, who had just squatted down before the dog took advantage, felt a pain in his cheek and was kicked to the ground. The wound that was so painful all over his body when he was beaten just now was rolled around again, and his face turned pale from the pain.
"Why is it you?" Su Baiyue exhaled and pulled the silk quilt together. When the white dumpling-like dog saw that its owner was awake, it quickly moved its short legs into her arms.
Su Baiyue held the dog's head obediently and couldn't let go of the palm-sized white snow dumpling.
The neglected Gu Nanxian knelt on the ground, with a little red mark on his cheek from being kicked. He rubbed it, which made it look even more pitiful.
Although Su Baiyue felt embarrassed, she also felt that the male protagonist was squatting at her feet for no reason, and she was frightened and treated him like this.
"Didn't Miss Gu Er just call me here?" Gu Nanxuan lowered his eyebrows and even felt aggrieved when he spoke.
Su Baiyue also felt embarrassed. When she saw Gu Nanxian staring at the white dumpling in her hand, she said happily: "It calls Shushu, do you want to give it a hug?"
A hug? Gu Nanxian raised his head and met Su Baiyue's steamy eyes. The woman had just woken up, her face still wet with sleepiness. The wet eyes were as clear and clean as that little puppy. But that face is so charming and tight, and this extreme two-sided attitude can be strangely integrated into one person.
Gu Nanxian finally understood what those people meant by privately saying about Miss Gu Er: "That's really fascinating at first sight, and I'll never tire of it."
It's a pity that such a woman is not something people like them can imagine.
Gu Nanxian suppressed his dark thoughts, and his usual gentle smile appeared on his face. He reached out and hugged the white dumpling. The white dumpling looked small, but he had a bad temper. He was kicked and bitten in Gu Nanxian's arms, and he couldn't catch it at all. He fled out of sight and disappeared.
"You really don't like Shushu."
So can I please you? Gu Nanxian pursed his lips against his gentle face and said nothing. His heart was as tight as if something was clamping it, leaving deep traces.
He saw Gu Zhulan take out a white porcelain bottle from the secret pocket of her wide sleeve.
This bottle is very familiar to Gu Nanxian. It is the medicine he takes every day.
But today, the medicine is no longer plain, but black and purple. Although it is only the size of a grain of rice, the color is quite scary.
"Reach out." Su Baiyue said.
Gu Nanxian stretched out his hand without hesitation.
Seeing the male protagonist trusting her so well, Su Baiyue couldn't help but sigh deeply again. When she sends Gu Nanxian to the third prince's residence, Gu Nanxian will suffer more, but the most painful thing is the pain of being abandoned and betrayed by Gu Zhulan.
But fortunately, the heroine will heal him. In fact, without her vicious white lotus in front of her, the heroine would not be able to take over to treat the male protagonist's emotional injuries caused by Bai Yueguang. Su Baiyue suddenly felt that she had a heavy responsibility. She was simply the Qinghai-Tibet high-speed railway connecting the male and female protagonists in this romance novel.
"Eat it."
Gu Nanxian swallowed the black pill.
Su Baiyue stared at him closely, "How do you feel?"
Gu Nanxian shook his head, "It's okay... uh..." The boy's throat suddenly tightened, and he knelt down and curled up. Cold sweat broke out on his body, and the blue veins stretched under his skin could even be seen. It was so painful that I couldn't make a sound because of the pain.
Su Baiyue quickly sat up, but before she could sit firmly, Gu Nanxian grabbed her ankle.
The boy's strength was ferocious and ruthless, but he still had his usual gentle look. When he looked up at her with scarlet eyes, he looked like a wolf cub that had shed its outer skin.
Su Baiyue was in pain and subconsciously kicked her again.
Gu Nanxian fell to the ground without any strength, breathing heavily.
Su Baiyue endured the pain, hurriedly limped over, helped the man up, and carefully helped him breathe.
The black and purple pills were indeed poison. It was not that Su Baiyue was cruel, but that she must follow the original book to transform Gu Nanxian into a body that was immune to all poisons. Because Gu Nanxian was in trouble after being sent to the Third Prince's Mansion. He will be thrown into the Cave of Poisonous Snakes. If Su Baiyue softens her heart now, the male protagonist will die without a burial place.
The sweet smell came from the woman's body and penetrated Gu Nanxian's limbs. He held the woman's arm tightly and curled up at her feet, like a devout believer.
Su Baiyue had no reservations about Gu Nanxian's aunty feelings at all, because Gu Zhulan in the book did take good care of Gu Nanxian, but she had ulterior motives. But Su Baiyue is different. She truly feels that the male protagonist in this book understands righteousness and is extremely righteous. He is really a beautiful gentleman with a personality as beautiful as jade silk.
Even after encountering so many things, it is still a straight little poplar tree.
…
When Gu Nanxian woke up, it was already time to light the lamp.
He opened his eyes in confusion and saw the woman sitting in front of the dressing table. The black and oily green silk is draped, the silk and satin are as soft as a waterfall, and the dense color of the glazed lamp shrouds down from the half-open partition, mixed with the frosty moonlight, which makes the woman gentle and soft, and just looking at it makes you feel peaceful.
But it is obvious that this is a very gorgeous and noble peony flower, high up in the sky, making people kneel down, kowtow, and look up at it.
Gu Nanxian was lying on Gu Zhulan's couch.
There are ice cubes under this couch and a silk quilt on top. When I lie down on it, I don't feel hot. I just feel comfortable and cool all over my body. Especially the all-pervasive feminine fragrance, which is really refreshing.
"Girl, wake up." Ginkgo, who was combing Su Baiyue's hair, reminded her.
Su Baiyue turned around and saw the pale-faced Gu Nanxian. She stood up with a guilty conscience and said, "I have arranged for you to have a martial arts master. The medicinal bath once a day will be changed to once every two days. Also, Mr. Teach I have also invited you to move from the yard to my wing tomorrow, study carefully and practice martial arts, and don’t be lazy."
The woman opened and closed her pink lips and said a lot. Gu Nanxian could only nod, his throat dry and tight.
In this way, Gu Nanxian settled down in Gu Zhulan's yard. He no longer had to go back to his original yard and be bullied by others.
I heard that the two brothers Chen Wen and Chen Wu who were originally in the courtyard were beaten to the point of losing their dignity. They even lost face and were kicked out by the steward.
Gu Nanxian is very serious about his work. He has been smart since he was a child and learns quickly. Unknowingly, more than half a year passed, and the young man who was originally as slender as a willow suddenly began to grow taller. His figure was slim and slender. Under the influence of poetry, calligraphy and martial arts, his whole body became more and more aristocratic.
"Sister Ginkgo, I wonder whose calligraphy this is?" Gu Nanxuan smiled and handed the stack of practiced calligraphy to Ginkgo, along with the handsome and powerful copybook.
The boy is good-looking, especially when he smiles. Ginkgo's face turned red and she said coquettishly, "Just learn and don't ask so many questions."
Gu Nanxian's smile became gentler, "I just think the writing is very good, I'm afraid it won't be as good as practice."
"Take your time, don't be in a hurry. Others take a long time to practice this thing. You have only been practicing for a few days and it is already difficult to distinguish between true and false. You are extremely smart."
Is it difficult to distinguish between true and false
Gu Nanxian's hand holding the brush paused slightly. He thought of the men in the yard who all looked somewhat similar to him, and then thought of the old grandmother who had come to teach him the rules in the past few days. A bold idea emerged in his heart. speculation.
They all seemed to be preparing for someone.
This Gu Mansion seemed to be training a shadow, training them to become the shadow of that unknown man. And that man is obviously of noble status. Judging from the look of the nanny, it seems that he comes from... the palace
Gu Nanxian couldn't believe that he was just a small pawn of Gu Zhulan, but that was indeed the case. He looked irritated, turned around, threw away the brush, and stepped into the medicine room on one side.
This is a small recipe that Su Baiyue specially prescribed for Gu Nanxian after he felt that it would be better to teach him how to fish than to teach him how to fish.
Gu Nanxian is now half a medicine doctor.
This is Su Baiyue's selfishness. Although Gu Nanxian in the book was lucky enough to escape from the poisonous snake cave, the root cause of his illness fell into the trap. Although Su Baiyue could not cure the disease and could not prevent Gu Nanxian from advancing, she could do what she could for him.
For example, they worked hard to improve his physical fitness, sent people to teach him medical skills, and even searched for masters in the world to teach him martial arts. They also pulled out hermit masters from the mountains to teach him, and they taught him some treacherous and unethical strategies for governing the country. It is clear that the aunt is prepared for a rainy day.
I hope the male protagonist can understand his painstaking efforts.
Su Baiyue rolled the white dumplings and stretched comfortably.
It will be offline soon, so happy.
…
The lazy warm winter sun pours in from the partitions. The woman was dressed in white fox fur and curled up on the couch. The pink cheeks are slightly red and have a delicate color. The fire dragon was burning brightly in the house, and it spread all over the Gu Mansion. It used smokeless charcoal, and the money it cost every day was enough to make a living for half of the people in the imperial city.
Ginkgo, who was guarding the door, saw Gu Nanxian, wearing a snow-white cloak, walking slowly out of the cold sun.
The boy was born extremely well, with a bright-colored hairband covering his forehead, red lips and white teeth, gentle and handsome.
"This is my newly made incense. I pay close attention to it and present it to the girl."
Ginkgo knew that Gu Zhulan loved Gu Nanxian very much, so she let him in without asking any questions.
When the thick blanket is lifted off, the room is as warm as spring. But women are very afraid of the cold, so they are still wrapped in white fox fur. That charming face was burned crimson.
When Shushu saw Gu Nanxian, she stopped shouting and even came forward to lick him.
Gu Nanxian stood there, looking down at Shushu. The gentle smile on his face faded, and his whole person became more solemn and cold, especially his eyes, which were as heavy as frost in a cold pool.
Shushu shrank for a while and hurriedly hid in Su Baiyue's arms.
Su Baiyue continued to sleep soundly without knowing anything.
Gu Nanxian opened his sleeves, walked to the incense burner, and poured in all the incense in his hand. The white smoke rises, and the people who were sleeping peacefully become more and more lazy. Even Shushu, who was curled up in Su Baiyue's arms, fell asleep as if she was lifeless.
Gu Nanxian reached out, caressed Shushu, and then threw it to the ground.
The author has something to say: There was originally a dragon chair to play in the first world, but I... forgot... to run away with the lid on the pot!
ps: Gu Nanxian is not black enough yet, don’t worry
