Gu Hongjian recalled for a while, and found that in the twenty years she and Lin Size had known each other, Lin Size had indeed never said love to her.
Say hate, say hate a lot of times.
However, she never said love to Lin Size either.
The number of times she said hate and hate was far more than the number of times Lin Size told her.
Lin Size is actually a very honest and frank person. Although he often looks unpredictable, his love and hate are very clear. Saying hate is hate, and saying love is love.
He loves Zuo Ningyan, so he can paint her portraits for her, write poems for her, red eyes for her, talking about her, affectionately, tenderly and nostalgically, like missing the moon in the sky.
Gu Hong sees it differently. Every time she quarrels with Lin Size and speaks harshly, saying that I hate you, Lin Size, why don't you die, Lin Size, I want to kill you, Lin Size, I hate you... In fact, all she thought was, Lin Size, I like you.
This is probably the same thing in some kind of nature.
In the beginning, not long after the cold and hungry winter solstice of Wanshun's 30 years passed, the spring of Wanshun's 31st year finally came late, and when Gu Hongjian and Lin Size knew each other for the first time, Gu Hong I never thought that the relationship between the two would become what it was later.
If she knew, she thought that she would not slack off to an unmanned palace in the middle of the night when she was still being enslaved and swept the floor, only to encounter Mr. Meng who broke through the siege and climbed over the wall.
But at that time Gu Hongjian was naturally unable to predict everything in the future, so he had been in the palace for almost two years, and Gu Hongjian, who was about to turn seven years old, put down his broom and slipped away to the corner of the deserted palace. , hide behind a tree and take a rest.
Then she saw a man as light and agile as the Persian cat raised by Fu Guiren, climbed over the wall, and then quietly landed on the ground. The man was quite tall, dressed in black, and looked a little sneaky. , Gu Hongjian was startled when he saw it, and accidentally knocked over the broom next to him, the man came to Gu Hongjian's side after a few dodging, his eyes were cold, as if he wanted to take Gu Hongjian's life at any time.
But when Gu Hong saw that she was just a little girl huddled in a ball, the man paused and then said, "Are you a palace maid?"
Gu Hongjian was frightened with tears streaming down her face. She didn't dare to look at him, and then closed her eyes tightly: "Yes. But I didn't see anything, so don't kill me."
The other party probably found it interesting and said, "What if I have to kill you?"
"Then, then I'll shout, if you are found out..." Gu Hong said threateningly, indifferently.
The man seemed to appreciate it and said, "At such a young age, he has a lot of courage and heart. It's a pity that she is a girl."
It's a pity that Gu Hongjian has heard the words of a girl too many times.
She has been very smart and diligent since she was a child, and she will help her parents. However, there are always people who sigh and say, "It's a pity that she is a girl." After her younger brother was born, the frequency of this sentence appeared even more, until the water rose, Her parents simply gave up on her for the sake of her younger brother. She saw her mother in tears and said, "It's a pity that it's a girl."
Gu Hongjian felt very sad in her heart, but there was nothing she could do. A man could still become a eunuch from the palace, so what could she do
After entering the palace, she gradually didn't feel that there was anything. After all, she was going to enter the palace, but the man was going to become a eunuch, but she was safe and sound, she was very lucky...
However, when the man in black said this at this moment, Gu Hongjian was inexplicably angry again, and said, "What about the girl?! You, isn't your mother a girl?!"
Gu Hongjian was too young and had little knowledge. His rebuttals made people laugh. The man couldn't help laughing, and then said, "Well, you're right. Little girl, I like you very much. Let me ask you, do you want more than a man? stronger?"
Gu Hong looked stupid and didn't know why this guy suddenly asked such a question, but she couldn't resist the temptation and said honestly, "I want to."
The man nodded in satisfaction: "Then do you want to learn kung fu to protect yourself and others?"
"think!"
The man's eyes swept across the broom next to Gu Hongjian, and continued: "Then, do you want to be powerful in the future, where one person is lower than 10,000 people, and everyone can no longer bully you, and can no longer decide your life and death, On the contrary, you have to obey, and life and death are under your control?"
This was a situation that Gu Hongjian had never thought of, but she still couldn't help but said "I want" with enthusiasm, and then she became suspicious: "One person is under ten thousand people? Under whom?"
The man laughed: "How smart. That man... I'll take you to see him in a while. Little girl, what's your name?"
"Gu Hongjian." Gu Hongjian said honestly, at that time, she had already been subdued by this man in black who was very imaginative, and she didn't care whether the other party was making promises in vain.
"Hongjian? Good name. My surname is Meng. I will probably teach you a lot in the future. You can just call me Mr. Meng."
Mr. Meng smiled, hugged the little Gu Hongjian, and then recklessly jumped over a wall with light power. Gu Hongjian almost fainted in shock, but gave birth to an indescribable satisfaction and expectation.
One day, she can do the same, not in the arms of others, but with her own strength!
Then she found that Mr. Meng took her to another less traveled place - Baifu Palace.
There, is Lin Size's small palace - this small is a practical description, Baifu Palace is the palace where Lin Size's biological mother was divided before, the little one is pitiful. After Lin Size's mother died, this Baifu Palace belonged to Lin Size.
After staying in the palace for almost two years, Gu Hongjian naturally knew that she had come to the territory of that unlucky ghost Lin Size. She was horrified, but saw that Lin Size was already waiting near the Baifu Palace—in the middle of the night, his Baifu There was no vigil outside the hall, only himself, alone.
Seeing Mr. Meng coming, Lin Size first showed a happy expression, and then he saw Gu Hongjian holding Mr. Meng, and then he showed a hellish expression.
Mr. Meng put Gu Hongjian down, and then patted Gu Hongjian on the head: "Do you know him?"
Gu Hongjian never thought that what Mr. Meng said "under one person" actually meant Lin Size, and thinking of the winter solstice in Wanshun's 30th year, she was a little confused, but she still nodded honestly: "Well ,Know."
Gu Hongjian bowed to Lin Size and said, "Hello, Sixth Prince."
Lin Size ignored her, but looked directly at Mr. Meng and said, "Uncle Meng, who is she?"
"Oh, the little palace maid I met on the road, I said that you must have someone to help you. I think she is quite suitable." Mr. Meng said.
Lin Size's expression was rather subtle at the time, but he still nodded: "Thank you, Uncle Meng."
It was very later that Gu Hongjian realized what was going on.
Although Lin Size's mother was only a palace maid, before she entered the palace, she actually had a marriage contract. It was said that it was the private school gentleman in their village. The private school gentleman was not only brilliant in literature, but also in martial arts. He seemed to be a peerless master. It's Mr. Meng. Mr. Meng heard the news of Lin Size's mother's death outside the palace. He was very saddened. He ran to the palace to find Lin Size.
But Lin Size directly refused.
Later, Gu Hongjian asked him the reason, and he said that instead of being led through an ordinary life, he would rather keep a low profile and take revenge.
At that time, he was paranoid and crazy, hated everyone in the palace, and the purpose of living was to punish those people one day.
Punishment favored his mother, but abandoned her and let her die tragically as the emperor in the palace, punished and insulted him, and looked down on his brothers and servants.
Although Gu Hongjian also wanted to stand at a high place, she didn't have such extreme thoughts as Lin Size, but she had already obeyed Lin Size when she asked these things, so she didn't care whether Lin Size was extreme or not, and instead praised him. The idea is so great that Lin Si Ze doesn't even know what to say.
Lin Size was reluctant to leave, wanted revenge, and wanted to ascend to a high position, so Mr. Meng decided to help him, but he was a man from outside the palace, and although he was strong in martial arts, it was inconvenient to go out of the harem frequently, especially when the Baifu Palace was still there. It is quite inside, although the location is remote, but there are many places that are not too remote.
Therefore, after meeting Gu Hongjian, Mr. Meng's mind moved, and he decided to let this little girl, who was about the same age as Lin Size, and who seemed to have similar experience, become Lin Size's helper.
Gu Hongjian thought to herself, I even saved his life, it seems that everything was destined, and she wanted to help him from a very early time.
However, in fact, although Lin Size seemed to have promised Gu Hongjian to help him at the time, he was actually very dissatisfied with Gu Hongjian. On the one hand, he did not really want a so-called helper, on the other hand, he I felt that the skinny and dumb girl in front of me didn't look like she could be her helper no matter what.
At that time, Lin Size was not euphemistic enough, so not long afterward, Gu Hongjian knew what Lin Size meant. Gu Hongjian was furious at first, but then she had the idea of winning. She must understand that Lin Size can do a lot. it is good.
However, due to various considerations, Gu Hongjian did not tell Lin Size and Mr. Meng that the two were involved on the night of the winter solstice. Her intuition told her that Lin Size was not the kind of person who likes to be exposed.
Mr. Meng taught Gu Hongjian one or two kung fu, all of which are very basic things, but Gu Hongjian often has to work in extremely cold or extremely hot weather, and he is forced to stand and kneel at every turn, and he actually has a good body. and strong endurance, so Mr. Meng is quite satisfied.
Without knowing what tactics Mr. Meng and Lin Size used, Gu Hongjian was quickly transferred to Lin Size's place as an errand. Lin Size was deducted silver taels all year round, and the status was the lowest. No one wanted to go. Gu Hongjian wanted to. It's really easy to change over.
For Gu Hongjian, life is hard everywhere, but following Lin Size's words, she is more free, so she doesn't have much influence.
But Lin Size's attitude towards her was not very good.
In fact, Lin Size's attitude towards Gu Hongjian doesn't matter whether he is good or bad, he just doesn't trust Gu Hongjian.
But at that time, Gu Hongjian just thought that Lin Size didn't like not being disturbed, so seeing that he didn't pay much attention to her, she simply ignored Lin Size.
Anyway, she was also brought by Mr. Meng, and Lin Size listened to Mr. Meng's words very much. As long as Mr. Meng asked her to be here, she could be here—the young Gu Hongjian already had a clear mind and was organized.
She was a bit jealous of Lin Size at first, but seeing that Lin Size would always ignore herself, Gu Hong saw a little indignant at first, but then calmed down and thought, since Lin Size ignored her, she could ignore Lin Size too.
Not only did he ignore Lin Size, but sometimes he even bullied Lin Size.
Like the maids in the past, she deliberately didn't help Lin Size to send clothes to the laundry, and she didn't help Lin Size to get clothes, quilts and meals, but Lin Size actually went to get it by himself and didn't say a word to her.
Seeing that she was half dead, Gu Hong came up with a solution. Sometimes she would eat Lin Size's leftovers for lunch, but she deliberately sat on an equal footing with Lin Size and ate with Lin Size.
Just like that, Lin Size just glanced at her without frowning, and continued to eat.
Gu Hong's mouth was crooked when she saw the anger. Every day, she was inventing ways to make Lin Size angry. Unfortunately, it has not been successful. Lin Size's words to her every day were still "Get out of the way" or "You go."
However, Lin Size never complained to Mr. Meng, even though Mr. Meng would come almost every two nights to teach the two of them homework and kung fu.
It's just that Lin Size is a prince after all. Compared with Gu Hongjian, who is almost illiterate, his level is still much higher. Therefore, every time Gu Hongjian listens to Mr. Meng and Lin Size talking about homework, he is at a loss.
Fortunately, Gu Hongjian really has some talent for learning martial arts, but Lin Size is not a talented martial arts person. On weekdays, when Gu Hongjian has nothing to do, he will squat and practice boxing by himself. After this, within a month, Gu Hong I saw that the bottom line was actually much more stable than Lin Size.
—One time, there was meat in the dishes brought by the imperial kitchen. Gu Hong, who was used to eating with Lin Size on an equal footing, saw his eyes lit up and stretched out his chopsticks to grab it. Lin Size, who was always calm, probably missed the taste of meat, but he didn’t. Extend your chopsticks to grab the biggest piece of meat.
The chopsticks of the two met in the air. Gu Hongjian looked at Lin Size's place, and immediately opened Lin Size's chopsticks with his backhand without hesitation. Lin Size finally showed a displeased expression, flipped his arm, and tapped Gu Hongjian with his chopsticks. chopsticks, and then firmly clamped Gu Hongjian's chopsticks.
Seeing that Gu Hong was almost dying of anger, she couldn't help but get serious, the strength in her hand increased, and her entire arm was raised.
Then, Lin Size turned over and sat on the ground.
Both were stunned, looking at each other in disbelief.
Gu Hong saw that she was dumbfounded for a while, and her first reaction was not to help Lin Size up, who was her master on the table, but to quickly pick up the big meat and eat it.
Lin Size's eyes widened.
This was the first time that Gu Hong saw him with such an expression, and suddenly wanted to laugh a little, but she wiped her mouth anyway, leaned over and said slyly: "Well, His Royal Highness Prince Ping, let me help you up..."
Lin Size stood up suddenly, and said with a gloomy face, "Don't come near me."
Gu Hong said: "Uh, I didn't do it on purpose... Who knew that you were so weak, and you fell down after a wave... Like a girl... "
It's okay not to say it. When he said it, Lin Size was even more angry, but he just closed his eyes and said, "When did your kung fu become so good?"
"Eh?" Gu Hong saw that she was dumbfounded and said, "I don't know... I have nothing to do every day, so why don't I practice martial arts."
Lin Size said nothing, turned and left.
Gu Hongjian saw his air bag, and felt amused, and whispered, "Miss Lin... hehe."
That night, Lin Size told Mr. Meng about this, but he didn't mention Gu Hongjian's robbing of his own flesh, but said implicitly, "I feel that Gu Hongjian's martial arts have improved rapidly."
Mr. Meng smiled and said, "Well, I found out long ago, Hong Jian should have noticed it too, right?"
Gu Hongjian embarrassedly said: "No... It's just that after working occasionally, I feel quite relaxed, and I don't feel tired."
In fact, Lin Size had only one thought in his heart at that time: Do you also know that you only work occasionally
Mr. Meng smiled and said: "I'm lucky, I picked someone at random, and he is quite talented. But Hongjian, your homework is really poor... I can't help you alone, Si Ze, if you have any Kong, let’s start teaching Hong Jian from the basic thousand-character script. Although she is good at her skills, she will help you in the future, and this aspect cannot be left behind.”
Lin Si Ze paused for a while, before choking out the word "good".
Seeing that Gu Hong was stupid for a long time, she could only respond.
Lin Size actually started teaching Gu Hongjian to read.
Gu Hong sees that he has some talent in martial arts, but he really lacks talent in studying.
At that time, Lin Size asked her to write her name, and she wrote it crookedly. Lin Size wrote her name again, reminding her to copy it every day, and asked her if she knew how to write her name.
Gu Hongjian shook his head awkwardly.
Lin Size wrote three words, but Gu Hongjian couldn't write his name completely after memorizing it for three days.
Lin Si Ze was miserable. He only thought that Gu Hongjian must be playing tricks on him, but seeing Gu Hongjian's very hardworking and serious look, but he really couldn't remember how to write, so he could only write his name silently and continuously with a black face. as an example.
In fact, Lin Size guessed right, no matter how incompetent Gu Hongjian was, he wouldn't be able to learn these three simple words badly after so long.
She just enjoyed seeing Lin Size's furious look.
At the same time, she also hopes that she can write the three words Lin Size better. She thinks this is a very beautiful and pleasant name. It would be great if she could write it as vigorous and powerful as Lin Size.
So she deliberately pretended not to be able to write, so that Lin Size could write it over and over again, so that she could imitate slowly.
And time flies, now Gu Hongjian, who can write good characters and articles by her own ability and even enter the palace exam, is no longer the little girl who can't even hold a pen, but she writes the best three The word is still Lin Size.
One stroke at a time, after all, I have traced it in my heart for more than ten years.
