The next morning, after sending Zhang Hanfang away, there was no one in the other courtyard who looked down on her. Finally, Shu Huan breathed a sigh of relief, happily picked up her paintbrush, and touched the embroidery needle back, while Gu Xiran was He was busy dealing with the aftermath of the fire, and sent people back to his home to deliver letters.
For three meals a day, the two of them hide in the room and eat opposite each other. There are no extra people around, so there is no need to avoid talking. While eating and chatting leisurely, suddenly there is an illusion that the years are quiet, as if at this moment. However, the long-term happiness can continue until the gray hair is gray and the end of time.
It's really just an illusion.
If they live in modern times, once the door of their room is closed, they can enjoy the world of two, but in this large house with a large population and constant events, even if the door is closed, someone will still knock on it.
Before going to bed at night, Shu Huan just took off the hairpin and loosened his hair when he was startled by a sudden knock on the door and almost jumped up.
Gu Xiran was half lying on the bed reading a book, when he heard this voice, he frowned in displeasure, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Hey, why are you saying again
The two looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.
It was Huiyun's voice that sounded outside the door, and it was definitely not a trivial matter to make her anxious.
"Second Master, Second Mistress, get up quickly, someone from the house has come to spread the word that Uncle...he has passed away"
Shu Huan's heart skipped a beat, she hurriedly put down the comb, stepped forward and opened the door: "What's going on, please explain clearly."
Huiyun shook her head vigorously: "I don't know. Ask the person who sent the message, and he couldn't tell. He just said, please go back quickly. The house is in chaos. The master fell ill, and the prince cried. I almost lost my breath, the big*grandmother was dumbfounded, when I talked to her, she just yelled to find a rope... "
Hearing this, Gu Xiran knew that there was nothing more to ask, so he just said: "Get the car ready, let's go immediately."
Things are a little bizarre, but serious.
Shu Huan bit her lip and thought for a while, calling out to the servant girl again and again, and finally rushed over with a flustered Meijing: "What's the second grandma's order?"
"Go to Doctor Ji and Master Du and tell them that we are leaving immediately. If they are willing to stay for another two days, they will stay for two days. If they don't want to stay any longer, they will ask the person in charge to prepare a car for them. After entering the mansion, let him stay with Doctor Ji for a few days, and when the matter is settled, the second master will naturally look for him."
Meimei responded and left.
Shu Huan didn't have time to pack anything, so he only brought the gold and silver jewelry, and together with Gu Xiran, he found two thick clothes, then he casually pulled his hair, called Xiangxin to pick up the lantern, and rushed outside the gate of the other courtyard.
The whole journey was in a hurry, no one was in the mood to talk, half way Aunt Yun and Xiangqian chased after her, also silently.
Walking through the night, Shu Huan involuntarily raised his head to look at the sky when he was blown by the wind that was so cold that it made people shiver, to see if there was any sign of a change in the sky.
Obviously it was August 10th, the time when the moon was at its fullest, but that month was hidden in the clouds, not even the stars were visible, and the deep night sky was like a huge black net, rushing toward us.
She suddenly became tense, feeling a barren feeling of weeds growing wildly in her heart.
Traveling through time for so long, she has never met Gu Xitian, so naturally she can't feel any grief for the death of this stranger, but just feels that life is illusory and the world is impermanent.
A few days ago, a person who was enthusiastically planning to go out to do business after autumn passed away suddenly died. No matter what, she felt that there was a strong mysterious atmosphere in it, and the importance of Gu Xitian in the Gu family was doomed. His death will cause a series of chain reactions in the Gu family. It is unknown whether the final change will be good or bad for her and Gu Xiran.
After rushing to the door, there were already three cars prepared there, so it was impossible for all the servants in the other courtyard to follow immediately, they only picked up a few important ones and followed, and the others left to pack up before going back.
Shu Huan walked to the front of the car, and found that in such a hurry, the person in charge had forgotten to prepare her feet, and it was Gu Xiran who gave her an arm to support her into the car. A few lanterns chased after them, but it was Ji Danqing, Du Qiu and Du Mu who also rushed out.
Seeing Ji Danqing carrying a medicine box, Gu Xiran frowned slightly: "Doctor Ji, this is..."
Ji Danqing still had a gentle expression, cupped his hands and said: "It's not safe to travel in the middle of the night, I discussed it with Du Qiu, let's go together, if there is anything, there should be someone to take care of you on the way, besides, you are all gone, we It's no fun staying here."
Gu Xiran nodded slightly, and raised his voice to ask the manager to prepare another car, but he had already occupied several cars when he sent Zhang Hanfang away, so the manager could barely scrape together another car, and asked Ji Danqing to sit with Du Qiu, and Mother Du Then go to the front and ride with Aunt Yun.
Just when Jingmei was waiting for the maids to get into the car in a hurry, Gu Xiran raised his eyes and saw Huiyun, thought for a moment, and suddenly said to her: "You stay in the other courtyard for now, when you return home, wait for me to send someone to tell you."
Huiyun was startled, then felt sore in her heart, she didn't dare to say anything, she just handed the things in her hand to Jingjing, and said: "Yes."
This is tantamount to expulsion and alienation in disguise.
She thought that if she procrastinated and didn't choose someone to marry, she would be able to relax for a few more days, and maybe things would turn around, but she didn't expect that no matter how careful she was, she still couldn't stay by Gu Xiran's side.
Aunt Yun happened to hear this before she got into the car, and her thoughts moved slightly. She wondered if she would end up like Huiyun in the future, and suddenly felt a sad feeling of remorse. You should not have any bad thoughts, guard your own identity, and live a peaceful life without contention.
When everyone got into the car, they listened to the coachman waving his whip and shouting, and drove the car forward.
It's just dark at night, and there is no moon, only relying on several wind lamps in front of the car to illuminate, the car can't gallop, all the mules and horses are led by the coachman, trotting all the way forward, it looks very hard.
Shu Huan couldn't see it, and asked Gu Xiran in a low voice: "Are we too impatient, we won't be able to catch up much with this way, why don't we go after dawn, we can catch up with this night road in less than an hour, It also saves these coachmen from being so tired."
Gu Xiran sighed slightly, and lowered the curtain of the car: "You are right, but traveling all night after hearing the bad news and sleeping until dawn before getting up and on your way are two different things in the eyes of others."
this is reality
Sometimes I have to wear a mask of hypocrisy, not because I want to gain a good reputation of brotherhood, but because I want to be as thorough as possible and reduce unnecessary troubles.
Shu Huan was silent for a long time, then suddenly reached out and tugged at Gu Xiran's sleeve: "Is there any chili water I prepared last time, give me some, I'm afraid I won't be able to cry when I get nervous."
She only experienced the funeral of her grandmother and grandfather when she was a child. They were blood relatives. Grief is natural, but Gu Xitian is just a complete stranger to her. She can feel sympathy, sigh, regret and a little sadness, but It will never reach the point where tears flow down her face and her heart is piercing her lungs. She is really afraid that she will be caught in a group of crying people, and it will be embarrassing if she can't cry.
