Wuwang reminds book friends to rest their eyes

In the rainy weather, the most pleasant thing is to stay at home and be lazy without going out.

Shu Huan was quite comfortable at the moment. After bathing, with wet hair on, he sat under the eaves and watched the rain fall outside. The life in ancient times was exquisite and graceful, full of artistic conceptions. Regardless of the annoying things, worries about the future, and missing her parents and friends, she still liked it here.

Hui Yun came over with tea, and said by the way: "Second Grandma, those pets kept for Fourth Master have all been moved to the side room. I let the little maids clean the east room, and opened the windows for ventilation. Smoke it up."

Shu Huan glanced at her, took the tea bowl, and replied casually: "Very good."

Huiyun handles affairs properly, which is reassuring.

She happened to take advantage of Gu Xiran's afternoon nap, and vacated the East Wing. Even if she still had to sleep in the main room at night, she kept that room, so she could have a place to stay when she wanted to hide alone.

Shu Huan took a sip of tea, and suddenly said, "Have you told anyone else about the old pedant teaching me how to read?"

Huiyun lowered her head and said, "When I was taking the books for you that day, Aunt Yun asked. The servant girl knew the rules of the house, so she only replied that the second grandma wanted the book, and didn't dare to say anything else about it."

Shu Huan nodded and said nothing.

Forget it, she doesn't want to pursue it anymore. Anyway, Aunt Yun didn't get the news from Huiyun, or the original owner told her parents. The latter is more likely. Teach her to say anything, if the original owner really learned calligraphy from that scholar, it would not be difficult to find out.

She didn't grow up in the open and secret fights in the house since she was a child. She doesn't have so many tricks to fight with others, and some things are impossible to guard against. Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, just wait and see!

To be alive, the most important thing is to be in a good mood and to live every moment in front of you well. If she is allowed to think about those intrigues all day long and make herself extremely dark, she might as well not live

.

The rain did not stop until night when the lamps were lit, the dark clouds cleared and the air was clear and cool.

When the meal was being served, Gu Xihe rushed in like a runaway horse, shouting, "Shengfan, I'm starving to death."

Aunt Yun hurriedly called for more bowls and chopsticks.

Gu Xiran just picked up the chopsticks, and was a little surprised when he saw this: "Don't you usually eat with the old lady?"

"Don't mention it!" Gu Xihe waved his hands old-fashionedly: "The old matriarch's face is like the weather outside. It's been gloomy all afternoon. She didn't even smile when I teased her, and even drove me outside to play."

After finishing speaking, he sat down and looked at the dishes on the table, his face immediately wrinkled into a bitter gourd: "No way! My wife is vegetarian today, and the table is full of vegetarians. I don't like to eat that, so I came here. Why are you all vegetarians? what?"

"There are two meat dishes!" Shu Huan said, moving the dishes in front of him: "You can eat this."

Gu Xihe obviously didn't have much interest in those two dishes, but after playing for a day, he was really hungry, so he had to make do with it, complaining about the bland taste while eating, it seems that he prefers the thick oily red sauce heavy taste.

After he ate for a while, his speed slowed down a bit, Gu Xiran picked up a chopsticks of food for him, and asked inadvertently, "You didn't make the old lady angry, did you?"

"Me?" Gu Xihe mumbled without raising his head, "The old matriarch has never been angry with me."

What he said was the truth, no matter how big a disaster happened and Mr. Gu was angered, the old matriarch would laugh and say, he is still young, what does he know? It's good to find some, so that you will be smart when you grow up!

In order to avoid bad luck when he went to pay his respects tomorrow morning, Shu Huan asked, "Then why is she in a bad mood?"

Gu Xihe rolled his eyes at her: "How do I know? Ask her and don't say anything, just teach me not to quarrel!"

It seems that there is nothing to ask, but from Gu Xihe's words, it can be heard that the old lady is very angry, so it is probably not a trivial matter.

After dinner, Aunt Yun made tea

.

Gu Xihe has an active nature, how could he sit around doing nothing? He only pestered Shu Huan, quietly asking her what the carving of Yingge Green Qinan looked like.

Thinking of that rogue rabbit, Shu Huan felt it was funny, just wanted to take him to the study to show him, but Zisu, the maid beside the old lady who was in charge of delivering things, came and greeted them and said: "The old lady asked Second Mistress and Aunt Yun to play leaf cards with her!"

leaf brand? She won't at all! But after Shu Huan thought about it, he couldn't help feeling suspicious, isn't the old lady angry? Why do you want to play cards? What's more, people who don't want to see her all the time, if there are not enough card players, the aunts and maids at home can just call two, why bother to call her and Aunt Yun? Could it be...

While pondering, she raised her eyes to look at Aunt Yun, just in time to meet Aunt Shang Yun's equally bewildered and apprehensive eyes.

Here Gu Xiran was also taken aback for a moment, and then he cast a wink at Gu Xihe.

The little guy is very clever, he got up from the chair and dragged Shu Huan away: "Let's go together, no matter who wins, give me points!"

Zisu hurriedly stopped her and said, "Fourth Lord, the old matriarch ordered that only Second Mistress and Aunt Yun should be taught, not even the maids."

How could Gu Xihe have received such cold treatment? Immediately annoyed, he raised his leg and kicked over: "Fart! When did I get stopped when I went to the old lady! Now it's just a game of cards, and I'm not allowed to go?"

Gu Xiran hastily called to stop him.

Zisu was kicked in pain and was so wronged that she said tearfully, "Fourth Lord, this is really what the old matriarch ordered. If you give me ten more courage, I will not dare to stop you..."

Gu Xihe was unconvinced and left to talk, but was pulled to his side by Gu Xiran, so he had no choice but to give up.

This Shu Huan already understood that this card game is really a cover, calling them to go, there must be something wrong, and the matter is not small, it has something to do with the old lady's anger. It's just that she's been quiet during this time, she really didn't do anything like murder, set fire, or go to the house to expose tiles. The only thing that can make the old lady angry is probably the thing that Aunt Yun said in the morning...

She raised her eyes to look at Aunt Yun, who was also looking at her. The eager expression on her face didn't seem to be faked, she couldn't help shaking her head and sighing secretly, and said to Zisu, "Let's go!"

No matter what it is, you have to go if you have been called out. Anyway, when you get there, you will know whether it is a blessing or a disaster, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.

!

Zisu hurriedly lit a lantern, and guided the two of them out the door according to the road.

Gu Xiran pondered for a while, then looked up at Gu Xihe who was still angry at "falling out of favor", and suddenly smiled: "How about playing a game?"

"Who is in the mood to play!"

Gu Xiran's eyes twinkled like stars under the light: "It's very interesting."

Gu Xihe compromised curiously: "Okay, tell me, how do you play?"

"I am the general."

"Ok."

"You are a spy in the army."

Gu Xihe opened his eyes wide, waiting for him to finish.

Who would have thought that Gu Xiran would only say: "Go!"

Gu Xihe was a little confused: "Where are you going?"

"Go to the old lady's sentry to find out the news."

"Ah!" Gu Xihe finally came to his senses, and said angrily, "If you want me to inquire about the news, just say so! What kind of pretense are you using games for?"

Having said that, he was also curious, wondering what the old matriarch called Shu Huan and Aunt Yun to do, and why he was so secretive that he was not allowed to follow.

Thinking of this, he resentfully said, "Okay, I'll help you take a look."

Gu Xiran raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Remember that the spies should keep their whereabouts secret, so that no one can find out and catch them."

When he mentioned it like this, Gu Xihe suddenly felt that playing this game at night was quite exciting, and he couldn't hold back the urge to say—

"General, let's go, soldier!"

After finishing speaking, he turned and ran outside.
