It was still dark, and the upper room was brightly lit.
Gu Shubai and Gu Jiuge packed up, and when they went to the room and passed the west wing, they stopped unconsciously.
Then, the two brothers looked at each other.
Gu Jiuge was a little embarrassed, covered his mouth and coughed lightly, "Go ahead, there's still time, I'll go to the room and tell my father first."
At least a few months, at most a year or two, he must want to see Yufu before leaving.
"Thanks."
Gu Shubai threw the sword to him unceremoniously, turned his head and flew up, leaping onto the wall of the west chamber—
It was too early, and the courtyard door of the west wing was not even opened.
The woman on duty at night heard the noise and came out with a candlestick, seeing that it was Gu Shubai who was in a hurry to wake up Lianzhu and Lianbi, Gu Shubai hissed at them both.
"Don't wake her up, I'll take a look and leave."
Lianzhu and Lianbi understood, held up a dimly lit lamp and placed it at the end of Yufu's bed, then stepped back tactfully.
Yu Fu was sleeping soundly, the faint candlelight shone on her face, her pink lips were lightly pursed, peaceful and peaceful.
At the turn of spring and summer, she was only covered with a thin silk quilt, Gu Shubai carefully picked up the blanket from the bed, and covered her quilt.
Yu Fu noticed something in his sleep, and muttered a few words uncomfortably.
He moved his face closer, trying to hear what she had to say, but only heard muffled babbles.
This little girl, don't you know that if he goes today, he will not see her for a long time? To be able to sleep so soundly.
He complained and scraped lightly on the bridge of her nose, turned around, raised the lamp and walked out.
"Big brother… "
In the end it was waking her up.
Gu Shubai looked back, Yu Fu turned over, closed his eyes and muttered, "Big brother, big brother."
It turned out to be talking in sleep.
He whispered to himself, "I don't know what I dreamed about."
If he hadn't set off in a hurry, he really wanted to sit here until dawn, and when she woke up, he would ask her what dream she had.
pity…
He showed Yufu a doting smile, and quietly exited the inner room.
"Young master."
Yao Lan walked over in a daze, holding a sachet in her hand, "Miss embroidered this for the eldest son before, and it was supposed to be given to you during the Chinese New Year. But many things happened at that time, and the sachet did not come." When the embroidery is finished, Miss will entrust me to give it to you."
Gu Shubai took the sachet, the plum blossom pattern on it is suitable for wearing in winter, but now it is spring and summer.
that winter day...
He vaguely remembered that his life was hanging by a thread by the forest in Changzhou Prefecture, that he took Gu Yi to hide in the dark cave, and that Yufu's figure appeared in that cave like an angel.
Thinking of her taking care of herself day and night, thinking of her feeding herself medicine and porridge, bit by bit lingered in her heart.
A strange medicinal fragrance brought his thoughts back to reality.
He brought the sachet to the tip of his nose, "The spices in here seem to be unusual, what is it?"
Yao Lan didn't know either, "It was made by the lady herself, and the servants don't know what it is."
"Why doesn't she give it to me herself?"
"Miss said that the Eldest Young Master will set off before dawn, and she may not be able to wake up at that time. The Eldest Young Master must be reluctant to call her. If that is the case, let the slaves hand it over."
Gu Shubai smiled.
She didn't avoid suspicion at all, she was reluctant to say such a thing, so she said it in front of her servant.
"Understood, tell your lady that I will wear it with you. You have to take good care of her during the days when I'm not here, and discuss with the Fourth Young Master if you have anything to do, understand?"
When he said this, he was not only looking at Yao Lan, but also Lianzhu and Lianbi.
Everyone agreed, and Lianbi hesitated for a moment, "Eldest and Second Young Masters should also take care of themselves, don't worry Miss."
Lianzhu looked at her suspiciously, then quickly lowered her head and said nothing.
Gu Shubai suddenly thought of the word "Peach Blossom Tribulation".
"rest assured."
He left only two words, strode out, and his figure quickly disappeared in the west chamber.
Yao Lan yawned, "I want to go back to catch up on the cage sleep. The two sisters will come too? It's still early."
According to the usual practice, Yu Fu would not wake up until at least one hour later.
Lianzhu listened carefully, "I'm afraid I won't be able to make up for the sleepiness, I heard some movement in the lady's room, did you wake up?"
Several people went in with a lamp and took a look, and Yu Fu was sitting on the bed in a daze.
"Huh? I seemed to be dreaming just now."
She half-opened her eyes ignorantly, Lianzhu and others had been serving her for a long time, knowing that it was because she didn't wake up, and planned to let her continue to sleep.
Pian Yaolan was mischievous, "What did Miss dream about?"
"I seem to be dreaming of my big brother. He came to see me and talked to me."
She touched the bridge of her nose, the lingering familiar touch made her unable to tell whether it was a dream or reality.
Lianzhu and the others stood aside without urging her, waiting for her to lie down by herself.
Yu Fu suddenly yelled, "Oh, that's terrible! What time is it now? Have the generals set off?"
"Miss is not dreaming, the Eldest Young Master has indeed been here and has already left. Counting the time, he should have set off by now."
Yu Fu quickly got off the bed, ran with her shoes on, Lian Zhu only had time to put a coat on her body, "Miss, put on your clothes before going out!"
By the time the clothes are put on, people have already left!
Wrapped in his coat, Yu Fu hurriedly ran to the upper room, only Qi An was picking up the leftover tea in the room.
"Steward Qi, what about the General and the others?"
Seeing Yu Fu running out wearing only a middle coat, Qi An was stunned, and subconsciously pointed to the outside of the gate, "Master Hou and the two young masters have already set off."
Yu Fu ran out slowly, and when she arrived at the gate panting, she could only see the backs of the long queue.
The light of each torch turns into a long dragon composed of small dots, getting farther and farther away in the quiet night...
