After eating the glutinous rice balls, Gu Lan glanced at the time. At ten thirty, it was a long time longer than Qingqing's usual bedtime.
He put away all the tableware and chopsticks and threw them into the sink, which will naturally be clear tomorrow, and then picked up Qingqing, and urged the old housekeeper to go back to rest by the way.
The old housekeeper waved his hand and signaled Gu Lan and the others to go first.
"The second young master takes the eldest lady to rest first. Your bedroom is cleaned every day. It is very clean. I want to sit alone for a while. I get old and feel light. I can't sleep at this hour."
Gu Lan looked out and saw that the security guards patrolling the house were walking nearby. The old housekeeper was not like no one watching, so he was relieved to prepare to take Qingqing back to the main house bedroom.
"Qingqing said goodnight to the housekeeper's grandmother." He turned Dianqing Qing and motioned her to say goodbye.
"Good night, grandma the housekeeper." Qingqing shook her hand, and the soft and waxy voice of a little milk was as sweet as sugar.
"Okay, good night, miss you can go to bed earlier."
The old housekeeper smiled and waved goodbye to Qingqing, watching her being taken away by Gu Lan.
There was only the old housekeeper in the kitchen at night. Looking at the empty kitchen, she suddenly sighed, her old voice with indescribable loneliness.
"Does the eldest lady dislike eating glutinous rice balls wrapped by the housekeeper's grandma?"
In the silence, only the glutinous rice balls that hadn't been touched accompany the old housekeeper in silence.
Six white and fat glutinous rice balls nestled quietly together, like small rounded jade stones. Suddenly, the soup shook gently, and the five jade stones rolled into a ball again.
***
Gu’s family is very large, and the entire ancestral house is comparable to a five-entry courtyard house. There are courtyards, running water, rockery, and swimming pool. Naturally, there is also a mansion for people to live in.
The five-story main house in the middle is mainly for the hosts and guests of the Gu family. There is a small three-story building next to the main house.
The kitchen was separated from the main house because of the heavy smoke and fire, and was built in another place not far from the main house.
The entire ancestral house is very quietly furnished, and it shows the background and wealth, which shows that Gu's ancestors are definitely not a simple family.
Because there are only two or three kittens left in the entire Gu family, and they often don't come back to live there, the whole main house looks a little empty and lacks popularity.
If it wasn't for Gu Lan who had grown up here and was very familiar with everything inside, he would naturally have a sense of closeness. Looking at this gloomy scene, he might think that he had entered some ghost house.
Not to mention, their construction pattern and ancient-style buildings are really suitable for use as material for supernatural scenes.
He and Gu Qingqing’s bedroom is on the third floor.
The first floor of the residence is the banquet hall and meeting room, the second floor is the guest room and some functional areas for guests to rest, and the third floor and above are the main living areas of the host’s house.
The top floor is a sky garden with a small swimming pool. It used to be Mrs. Gu’s beloved, but now it has long since become a wasteland that no one cares about.
The fourth floor basically lived with the parents of Gu’s parents, Mrs. Gu’s father and Mrs. Gu, including the dead Uncle Gu and Gu Yanyu’s rooms are all on the fourth floor.
As for the third floor, it was entirely his and Gu Qingqing's world.
Just stepping on the third floor, Gu Lan saw the white chalk line extending from the stairs.
Recalling the origin of this chalk line, the thin lips unconsciously aroused, the throat vibrated, and the deep laughter overflowed from the gap between the teeth: "I didn't expect this to be there."
Qingqing looked at Gu Lan who was laughing suddenly, his little head tilted: "Brother, what are you laughing at?"
"Laugh at us, it was naive back then."
With his eyes lingering on the crooked chalk line with nostalgia, Gu Lan can still clearly remember how he bent over back then, lying on the ground and drawing the line little by little.
In fact, this can be regarded as a different kind of "38 line", which often appears on the desks of elementary school students.
Gu Qingqing has a strong sense of territory, and she does not allow young Gu Lan to enter her room at will.
Once again, Xiao Gu Lan was pissed off by her. In order to piss off her sister, she deliberately ran to open the door of Gu Qingqing’s room and put all her lipstick...
Bend it all!
They even put them on the clean white sheets that had just been washed.
Think about it, Gu Qingqing, who had just returned home from get out of class, faced this'blood-stained' scene...
The string called reason broke directly, and it broke into several knots in a row, and it couldn't be connected no matter how it was connected.
At first, Xiao Gu Lan, who triumphantly thought that he had succeeded in revenge, completely ignored the disparity in force value brought about by the huge age difference between the two brothers and sisters, so that his little butt was directly beaten.
After the fight, Gu Qingqing still pointed to Gu Lan's nose angrily and yelled: "You are not allowed to step into my room again, otherwise I will see you hit you once!"
It may be that she was frightened by her sister's violent state, or was aroused by rebellious psychology.
Year only
The ten-year-old bear child, Xiao Gu Lan, lay down on the ground tearfully drawing the dividing line with his red and swollen butt, and threatened.
"From now on, this side will be yours and that side will be mine. From now on, whoever we step into each other's territory will be a puppy."
Then…
Gu Qingqing had her arms around her chest, her beautiful peachy eyes staring at Gu Lan from a high level, and then slowly raised her red lips: "Wow."
He yelled twice, and immediately in front of Gu Lan, trampled his boundary line to nothing.
In the end, she ridiculed mercilessly: "It's a child who obeys this fool's treaty."
Little Gu Lan: "..."
He was crying in anger, loudly, even if all the servants in the family took turns to coax others.
In the end, Gu Qingqing, who was filled with his magical voice, couldn't help but walked out aggressively and stuffed a chocolate into his mouth.
"Do you dare to howl, believe it or not, I will stuff you with poison?"
This chocolate is dark chocolate, with a cocoa content of almost 80. It was terribly hard to eat in his mouth, so he directly forced Xiao Gu Lan's white flour bun into a brown sugar bun.
With his courage and courage, he dared to bite the bullet and negotiate with his sister: "You are not allowed to step into my territory anymore. If you walk in again, even if you feed me poison, I will quarrel you first!"
"... You can do it, if you don't step on it, you won't step on it, you are really a treasure house over there, and you can protect it like something."
So far, not only did Gu Qingqing never step into Gu Lan’s turf from now on, she didn’t even let people wipe off this naive chalk line, but kept the evidence, waiting for Gu Lan to grow up and be ruthless in the future. That thing laughed at him ruthlessly.
Unfortunately, when Gu Lan grew up, she seemed to have forgotten about it.
Gu Lan did the same. He can think of it now because he was in love with the scene for a while.
Now there is no need for Gu Qingqing to laugh at him, he also knows how stupid he was back then.
Turn around and ask people to destroy the corpses of this black history!
Forcibly breaking Qingqing's curious gaze, Gu Lan took Qingqing to her room. When stepping into that line, she suddenly had a whim: "Qingqing, follow me and say'Wang Wang'."
"Wang Wang?" Qingqing followed in a stupid way, and felt something was wrong after she finished reading: "Brother is bad, cheating Qingqing to learn from dogs."
She pursed her little mouth, and accused a certain old man who was too old and lied to children.
It's really bad.
"Hahaha... Who called you stupid."
Gu Lan's conscience won't hurt because of this, instead, he has tasted the long-lost happiness from bullying the children.
Sure enough, not only must the younger brother be beaten as early as possible, but also the older sister must be bullied.
morning.
Obviously, the clothes of the adult Gu Qingqing left by the Gu family could not be worn. Fortunately, Gu Lan brought her a change of clothes from the hospital.
After washing the child, he put the person on the big bed and went to clean up himself.
Qingqing is too young and needs parental care to sleep, so Gu Lan directly carried her into her bedroom.
The little guy was still sick, and after tossing for so long, he soon fell asleep with exhaustion.
When Gu Lan came back, seeing Qingqing sleeping soundly, he didn't bother her. He just hit a bunk on the ground and fell asleep.
There is only one bed in his room. Qingqing occupies the bed, so he can only feel wronged and sleep on the floor.
Gu Lan stayed asleep until midnight before getting up.
Together, he found that Qing Qing had disappeared.
The messy bedding was piled up on the ground, forming a cushion between the bed and the floor, with a slight depression in the middle.
It seems that Qingqing should have walked out after waking up.
Even if there were servants and security guards in the house, Gu Lan still went out to find someone uneasy.
This search led to the garden pavilion.
At that time, Qing Qing was lying on the lap of the old housekeeper, listening to her slowly telling the story with her little head tilted up.
The original boring story is transformed into a humorous story after the old butler’s words, which can attract the attention of children.
At least Qingqing likes it very much.
Gu Lan also noticed that most of what the old butler briefed Qingqing was all fables with various common sense principles. Whether Qing Qing listened or not, she learned a lot with her subtle influence.
No wonder Qingqing can be so sensible and well-behaved. It turns out that besides Aunt Ding, there is the old housekeeper, a real treasure in the house.
"Second Young Master."
Qing Qing didn't hear the footsteps behind her, but the old housekeeper's voice reminded her instead.
She turned her head when she heard the words, and then happily ran towards Gu Lan: "Brother!"
It's like a little meat dumpling that is tumbling very fast.
Gu Lan habitually squatted down slightly, spread his arms, and greeted Qingqing's "throwing his arms and hugs".
All of a sudden, Gu Lan didn't even sway. He steadily picked up Qing Qing and walked to the old housekeeper who was basking outside the house.
"Got to go?"
The old butler looked a little bit sad, "Let's finish the dessert before leaving."
Gu Lan lowered his head, only to find that there were two bowls of ginger juice on the small table beside the old housekeeper.
One of the bowls was already half empty. Needless to say, he knew who was in his stomach, and the other bowl was still full, obviously waiting for him to eat.
