Wuwang reminds book friends to rest their eyes

Gu Xiran was lying in bed reading a book, Aunt Yun was hiding in the west wing room and didn't know what to do, she only came out to show her face when it was meal time, her eyes were slightly red, it was obvious that she had cried.

On a dreary day, Shu Huan didn't know how he passed the time. First he teased the birds, then fed the fish. When he had nothing to do, he asked Huiyun for a box of Go, and taught Liangchen and Meijing how to play together. A little girl is playing backgammon.

Very vulgar entertainment, the only advantage is that it is simple, and Go is easy to get.

In the beginning, she won many battles, but she didn't expect Gu Xiran to come over to have fun seeing them having fun, so Shu Huan began to fight and lose again and again. They had no money, and the lottery they gambled was candied melon seeds. At the end of the game, the three master and servant lost everything, so they could only watch Gu Xiran half-lying in the rocking chair, drinking tea, cracking melon seeds, and eating candied fruit leisurely.

This guy is really hateful, he vomits melon seed shells all over the floor, and the one who declares that he will lose will clean up...

Just spending time like this, and finally came to the time to hold the lamp.

The ancients went to bed early, ate supper, ate two slices of watermelon, and watched the moon, and it was time to go to bed.

Shu Huan made an excuse to move to the east wing to have a look, and the door was locked again, so maybe he's going to rest in Gu Xiran's room again tonight

. Knowing that doing this is the best choice, it is equivalent to having a talisman, but she always resists in her heart. As for what she resists, she can't explain why, so she can only enter the room with a sullen face, holding the copper incense burner in bed.

Gu Xiran looked at it as funny, and didn't say anything to her, and let her go, but when Aunt Yun came in to deliver the medicine, she glanced at the censer twice, and then lowered her eyes, showing no sign of happiness or anger.

Seeing the medicine bowl, Gu Xiran frowned first: "I said I don't want to drink these medicines anymore, so I'll stop drinking them from tomorrow."

Aunt Yun wondered: "This medicine was prescribed by Doctor Ji, a famous doctor in the city. He said he would drink it for a full month. If Second Master doesn't drink it, he might suffer from an old illness."

Gu Xiran said displeased: "It's the medicine that's 30% poisonous. After drinking the medicine for so many years, even good people will drink to death."

Aunt Yun has yet to say more.

He had already lay down, waved his hands and said lightly: "It's fine here, you go and rest."

Aunt Yun looked at the medicine bowl and took it out helplessly.

After she left, Shu Huan snorted softly: "If you don't take the medicine, it's no wonder you'll get better!"

Gu Xiran turned his face away, looked at her for a while, and suddenly smiled slightly: "I'm not well, isn't it just what you want?"

Under the light, his eyes were as bright as stars, and his smile was extremely seductive.

Shu Huan lost his mind for a moment, and finally understood why he resisted sharing the bed with him.

This person is too dangerous, if you get too close, you may be seduced by your soul. She doesn't want to be trapped in this deep house and compound, and she is determined to be that virtuous and virtuous wife.

Thinking of this, she unconsciously looked away, retreated timidly into the bed, and then turned to think about his words, she couldn't help being surprised——

he knows

Was she showing it too clearly

Indeed, she had a vague expectation in her heart, hoping that his illness would not recover soon, then naturally there would be no danger of consummating the house, but that was all she had in mind, and she was not so bad as to hope that he would die of illness...

"I..." She wanted to explain

.

Who would have thought that Gu Xiran would not listen at all, half propped himself up, blew on the lamp by the bed, and said, "I'm sleepy, go to sleep."

With the lesson from last night, Shu Huan naturally didn't dare to disturb him to sleep again, and lay down obediently, closed his eyes, without saying a word all night.

When she got up early the next day, it was still Huiyun who combed her hair, while Liangchen was learning from the sidelines.

After a while, Meimei brought a bright red cloud gauze dress and asked her to change into it.

Shu Huan was taken aback: "Such a bright color!"

Huiyun inserted a ruby-encrusted hairpin in her hair, and said with a smile: "This is the rule. Although it's not the second day of the wedding, once the mistress pays her respects, she may even pour tea for the elders and give money for the younger generation. It’s better to go in a formal dress, if you dress too plainly and don’t say anything if you break a taboo, you won’t be able to remember anything, and you will suffer again.”

Meet the money!

Bringing up money really hurts feelings, Shu Huan has no money, so he can only helplessly look at Gu Xiran who is still pillowed on the bed, looking at her with a smile as she puts on her makeup.

She looked at Gu Xiran, and Gu Xiran looked at Huiyun.

Huiyun smiled: "Aunt Yun is all ready, let Liang Chenmei take it with her when she goes with Second Mistress."

What a capable person.

Shu Huan was not very angry after being stalked by Aunt Yun once, but still hoped that she would take over the management work so that he could feel at ease and less obstruct others' eyes.

After finishing makeup, Shu Huan frowned and looked at himself in the bronze mirror with heavy makeup: "Is the powder too thick?"

"It makes the skin look clearer."

"Too much rouge, like a monkey's butt."

Huiyun suppressed a smile: "Second Mistress, don't wipe it off, it's joy."

Anyway, Huiyun has reason to say anything

!

In a blink of an eye, Shu Huan glared at Gu Xiran, who was holding back a smile, and walked out with her skirt lifted.

Before he left the house, he heard Gu Xiran's advice from behind: "Be careful with your words in the past. If there is anything, let Liang Chen and Mei Jing come back and pass on the message."

His tone was indifferent, as if he was just mentioning it casually, but he couldn't hide his concern.

Shu Huan's heart warmed up, and he nodded involuntarily.

The Gu family's house is very large, and there are many mountains, rocks, flowers and trees that cover the road. After walking a few steps, Shu Huan was already so detoured that he didn't know where to go. Fortunately, there were two maids, Liang Chen and Jing Jing, who led the way so that he didn't go wrong.

The two maids are both young, and they speak straightforwardly. Along the way, Shu Huan also inquired some news from them, and only then did he know that the old matriarch had lost her husband in her early years, and she presided over all family and business affairs. , and raised a pair of legitimate children and a concubine on her own, so she is a one-of-a-kind existence in the Gu family, and no one dares to disobey her. Until now, the master of the Gu family has always gone to her for any business troubles. Ask for advice with an open mind.

It's no wonder that when the maids mentioned her, they all looked respectful and apprehensive, for fear that they would accidentally offend the old lady and lead to a bad life in the future.

After hearing this, Shu Huan could only smile wryly. It was foreseeable that he would go to pay his respects.

The old matriarch lives in Songhe Hall, with five main rooms, which looks much more grand than Shengmei Pavilion. There is an old pine planted in the courtyard, with strong branches, and there is a pair of cranes under the pine tree. I don’t know. Could it be that he has cultivated his feathers, and he doesn't startle or fly when he sees people, but he still looks up and walks in the courtyard with an elegant posture.

There were two servant girls sitting idle on the steps, when they saw Shu Huan approaching, they hurriedly stood up and went to open the curtain, while reporting to Li Tong: "Back to Taijun, the second grandma is here."

The old matriarch had just woken up, and was being groomed by several aunts brought by Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Fang, the newly married wife of Gu Xitian, the eldest son of Gu's eldest son, was also picking up freshly folded flowers to make hairpins for her.

They were chatting and laughing, but they didn't expect the servant girl's report, the old lady immediately lowered her kindly smiling face, and when Shu Huan came in, the others stopped their voices carefully, and everyone in the room Crows and sparrows don't smell.
