Wuwang reminds book friends to rest their eyes

Shu Huan has a habit that can't be said to be good or bad. When sleeping, she has to hug something to feel at ease, otherwise her arms will be empty, and she always feels that something is missing

.

Before time-traveling, she always had one or two puppet toys in her chest, which she could usually use to sit on and hold while sleeping. After crossing, there is no such condition. Fortunately, the weather is very hot, and sometimes even the thin blanket can't cover the upper body, and it just rolls up into a ball for hugging.

It's just that when she woke up early this morning, she found that the thing she was holding in her arms felt strange to the touch. When she opened her eyes, she found that her head was pressed against Gu Xiran's chin, and she was curled up in his arms, with one arm around his body, one The legs rested on his lap domineeringly, completely entangled him like an octopus.

This pose is too embarrassing!

Shu Huan has always known that his sleeping position is not very elegant, but now he realizes that it is so indecent. At the same time, he was startled and his heart was beating wildly. Seeing that Gu Xiran's eyes were still closed, he hurriedly tried to get away from him. He broke free from his arms.

Unexpectedly, when she struggled slightly, Gu Xiran moved, and put her arms around her waist.

The bodies of the two were even tighter, so tight that she could feel the strangeness of his body, and her complexion suddenly became strange. She didn't care about waking him up, so she opened his arms and sat up.

Gu Xiran's sleep was very shallow, and she was awakened immediately, but her consciousness was still in a daze. She slightly raised her eyes to look at her, and murmured: "Are you awake?"

After Shu Huan sat up, he found that he was squeezed so close to the wall, and there was still a lot of space on his side, so he immediately understood the reason for sleeping in that position, he was the one who leaned in! If I fall asleep, I will not refuse anyone. If there is something at hand, I will hug it naturally!

Angrily, she was about to accuse him, but she was surprised to find that his voice was tired and weak, so she couldn't help feeling a little worried, and stretched out her hand to touch his forehead, for fear that he would get sick again.

Fortunately, the forehead temperature is normal.

It's just that the hand she reached out was caught by him.

Gu Xiran opened his eyes again, and said with a slight smile, "Don't worry, I'm not sick, just a little sleepy."

Shu Huan withdrew his hand and said stiffly, "Who is worried about you? You're just being sentimental!"

After finishing speaking, she suddenly blushed, got up and got out of bed quickly, and stayed away from Gu Xiran

.

She is still physically young at present, but her mental age has already matured. Even if she has not experienced many things, she still vaguely knows what is going on. The reason why Gu Xiran is sleepy is related to the sleeping position of the two of them, so she dare not go Guessed. However, the vigilance against him last night was a little less. If he didn't take the opportunity to move his hands and feet after being hugged all night, he should still be a magnanimous gentleman.

Since he is so sleepy, I won't bother him to sleep.

Shu Huan cleaned up as lightly as possible, and then went to the old lady to pay her respects.

I don't know if it's because Gu Xihe said good things for her, or because the old matriarch's anger has subsided a lot after punishing her. In short, for the next ten days, every time I go back to pay my respects, although the old matriarch still treats her honestly, I don't like to talk to her, but scolding and corporal punishment have never happened before, and I only need to stand there for a long time, Gu Xihe must come to interrupt, and I begged the old lady's consent, and dragged her back to Shengmei Pavilion to play with pets, This made it much shorter for her to set up the rules, and she could barely cope in front of the elders.

The uneventful life made her bewildered and confused heart gradually settle down.

In the past few days, I have learned a lot of things. For example, Master Gu Gu Dan took many concubines. Together with his first wife Yang and his second wife Lin, they had four sons and three daughters. Two sons got married and one daughter After getting married, among these children, Master Gu values the eldest son Gu Xitian the most, while the old matriarch loves the youngest grandson Gu Xihe the most.

The other children have their biological mothers to take care of them. Even if they are not very favored, at least some people feel the pain and love. Only Gu Xiran and the third daughter of the concubine, Gu Xuan, whose biological mothers have passed away, are extremely neglected in this Gu family.

Gu Xiran is better. Although he has been ill for a long time and stays at home, he is the son of the first wife, and no one dares to be too contemptuous of him. However, Gu Xuan's mother was originally a singer outside, and was favored by Master Gu. The one she bought was considered a lowly concubine, whose status was so low that it was not worth mentioning. Gu Xuan was still young at this time, only twelve years old, so one can imagine how difficult her life was.

I don't know if it's out of sympathy, or I feel that Gu Xuan's situation is similar to her own. After knowing these things, Shu Huan has paid special attention to that delicate and cute little girl. She just observed secretly for a few days, and she found that Gu Xuan's personality is obviously It is different from children of the same age. It is not lively at all, but very quiet. Every time I come back to pay my respects, I only bring a personal maid, who comes in quietly, and then goes out quietly after paying my respects. Xin, he didn't notice her existence at all, and naturally he didn't have the chance to talk to her.

Only on this day, when Shu Huan was dragged out of Songhe Hall by Gu Xihe, he happened to meet her

.

Gu Xuan politely made way for them, and lowered her eyes and called respectfully: "Second sister-in-law, fourth brother."

Gu Xihe snorted, raised his head and dismissed her.

On the contrary, Shu Huan agreed, and chatted with her a few gossips. After a while, Gu Xiren, who was dressed in fluttering white clothes, appeared. This time, he didn't greet anyone at all. He just glanced at Gu Xuan and said coldly: " It's getting late, why are you still standing here?"

After finishing speaking, he entered Songhe Hall with his head held high, but Gu Xuan immediately panicked, and didn't even bother to say goodbye. She only gave Shu Huan a sorry look, and then followed Gu Xiren in with her skirt up.

Shu Huan stared at their backs for a moment, then Gu Xihe stretched out his hand to grab her, and said dissatisfiedly, "Hurry up, you two weirdos, what's there to see?"

"wack?"

"Yes! One can freeze to death like an ice cellar, and the other can suffocate to death like a rock. I hate them two the most at home. Even my wife told me not to associate with them."

Shu Huan was taken aback: "They are your brothers and sisters."

"What siblings?" Gu Xihe said disapprovingly, "You little bastard born to a lowly maidservant!"

Shu Huan was speechless for a while: "That's hard to hear, and they haven't provoked you, so don't say it again in the future."

"You didn't mess with me?" Gu Xihe said angrily, "You didn't see how those aunts tried their best to rob my father! Even the wife said they were lowly maidservants, why can't I say that?"

She has seen all of Mr. Gu's concubines, some are young and some are older, they all look quite stable and honest, usually in front of the old matriarch, those with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes rarely make a sound, but Mrs. Lin looks like a concubine. Shrewd, but you can't judge by appearance, who knows what's going on behind the scenes

Shu Huan was skeptical of his words, but fortunately, this kind of thing had nothing to do with her, so she didn't have the qualifications and didn't need to meddle in other people's business, so she just said: "Second Master and I don't like to hear such things, you will listen to them in the future." Say as little as possible."

Gu Xihe glanced at her, turned his head and snorted, noncommittal.
