Rebirth of marriage

Gu Xiao was suddenly sad and funny.

Even when she cried in her man's arms, she was worried about losing her majesty as the master of the pavilion.

She's really trying to grow.

He sighed softly, obeyed her, let her get into his arms again, and wrapped her head with his robe.

He patted her back gently, and felt terribly distressed when he saw her crying like she couldn't breathe.

He held Xie Jiu in his arms with one hand, stood up and poured a glass of warm water. After he sat down, he let her sit on his lap and fed her water.

Xie Jiu's crying had gradually stopped, but her crying and hiccups were still uncontrollable. She opened her mouth and took two sips of tea, but still couldn't slow down, so she simply lay in his arms and let him hold her.

Gu Xiao carried it on his back step by step.

Outside the room, Lin Shu's frown relaxed.

Xie Jiu covered his head with his robe again, but he could still hear it even if he stood close. She came to see Xie Jiu about something, and when she walked to the door, she heard Xie Jiu crying. She was worried and kept standing outside the door.

Now that it sounded like nothing was going on, he left quietly.

Gu Xiao heard that the footsteps did not belong to Mo Li Mo Qi and the two of them, and he turned his eyes and guessed it was Lin Shu.

She has an unusual relationship with Xie Jiu and cares about her very much.

Feng Zhilan was also kind to Xie Jiu, but according to her temperament, even if she didn't break in, she would stay outside the door and ask for a reason before leaving.

After Xie Jiu calmed down, he put her on the chair, took the basin and went out.

Her eyelids were slightly swollen from crying. Cold water would make her feel better and reduce the swelling.

She was thinking about the majesty of her pavilion master, and he kept the majesty for her. Therefore, he did not use the maidservants, avoided people, and went to fetch a basin of cold water to apply to her eyes.

Seeing that she was still lowering her eyes with an embarrassed look after applying it, he joked, "It's the first time I know that my wine can cry like this, and it almost washed me away with tears."

Xie Jiu sniffed when he heard this, and said hoarsely, "Then I will be swept away with you. You promised me that you will protect me for the rest of my life, and get rid of me later."

Gu Xiao's eyes tightened, and there was a strange sour emotion in his heart. He hugged Xie Jiu tightly and carefully rubbed the top of her head with his chin.

The coldness in his brows faded away and became a little warm, "When we get back, I will talk to the boss. If he insists on returning to the capital, let the old lady stay.

He impeached Cao Zhicheng last time, causing Cao Zhicheng to lose some rights and lose his popularity. He must be resented by the Cao family. The old lady is old, and I can protect her if she stays in Yuyouguan. "

"Okay." Xie Jiu responded, knowing in his heart that Gu Xiao agreed with the boss to return to Beijing.

He took the initiative to stay with the old lady. The old lady would be very happy to know about it. As for the old lady, Gu Xiaoding will also send someone to protect him. When things are decided in the future, he will also follow Gu Xiao. The separation is only temporary. .

She also thought that the three of them were shy about expressing themselves and had awkward temperaments, so she took advantage of the situation and said, "Ah Xiao, let's spend New Year's Eve this year with the boss and the others."

"Okay." Gu Xiao did not refuse.

Hearing Xie Jiu say again, "There are also Lin Shu and Zhi Lan. After all, Lin Shu is still your cousin. Ah Xiao, you have a grandfather, a grandmother, a cousin, me, and Mo Li Mo abandon."

We all lived in the same house. Although no one made it clear about Gu Xiao's relationship with the boss, Feng Zhilan also knew about it, so Xie Jiu didn't want to neglect the sisters.

Gu Xiao responded well, feeling in a daze that he actually had such a relative.

The old man's story turned around, and Xie Jiuzhong talked about Magistrate Yu's story again, "I don't know why, but I always want to find out the secret of that weird book."

For no reason, she felt that the secret was related to her.

Gu Xiao said, "I will send someone to keep an eye on him."

At the same time, he reminded, "Jiu'er, if Jiuxiao Pavilion wants to establish a complete intelligence network, it must dig deeper and wider. When you want to know a person, it is best for Jiuxiao Pavilion's intelligence network to be able to connect The circumstances of the eighteen generations of his ancestors are presented to you."

Xie Jiu nodded, knowing that what Gu Xiao said was right, "I will instruct the spies over in Yancheng later to check more about Prefect Yu and the old Prefect of Yancheng."

Gu Xiao's people have already made inquiries in Yancheng, but it has been so long that they haven't found any really useful information. He didn't intend to disrupt Xie Jiu's plan, so he didn't mention it. The two chatted about Meishan and What happened on New Year's Eve, Xie Jiu gradually became sleepy and fell asleep in his arms.

While waiting for dinner, Lin Shu saw Xie Jiu and saw that she and Gu Xiao looked good and didn't seem to be at odds, so he didn't ask any questions.

Xie Jiu didn't know what Lin Shu was thinking, so he told her that he would leave home tomorrow and asked her to pack her luggage, then went to find Lou Qi and explained to him again.

Early the next morning, the 200 people were sent away, and Xie Jiu and his party also left the Beast Mountain and rushed to Yuyou Pass.

When we arrived, we rode quickly and it only took three days.

When they returned, because Su Mengjiao was weak and Gu Xiao heard that she had worn the inner thighs while riding a horse, he asked Mo Qi to prepare a carriage and pull it with the fast horse they brought.

Although not as fast as riding a horse, it was much faster than an ordinary carriage. Finally, we made it back to Yuyou Pass on the afternoon of the day before New Year's Eve.

After entering the city, Gu Xiao led his people back to the camp through the secret passage. He had left Yuyou Pass these days under the pretext of training in the camp, and only a few close friends in the camp knew about his departure.

As the Lord of the Two Cities, his whereabouts attracted people's attention. Once people noticed that he was gone, it would easily cause unnecessary trouble.

Xie Jiu also understood this, and his heart felt warmer.

She returned to the exile area and asked Yanzhi and Diancui to take Su Mengjiao to the courtyard where they stayed.

She and Lin Shu and Feng Zhilan returned to Lin Shu's house.

The old man and the old lady originally wanted to go back to their mud house after the snowstorm, but Lin Shu persuaded them to stay. In addition, thinking that they would leave here after the year, Lin Shu continued to live there for a few days without disturbing them.

As Xie Jiu expected, the two old men were very happy when they heard that they would spend New Year's Eve with Gu Xiao. The old lady kept muttering, "I have to cook some delicious home-cooked dishes for him tomorrow."

When she found out that Gu Xiao had left her behind, the old lady's eyes immediately turned red and she asked Xie Jiu, "Will I ever hear him call me grandma in my lifetime?"

Xie Jiu was touched and nodded, "Yes."

The old lady immediately laughed and punched the old man, "Old man, you have to take care of yourself from now on. I have to stay with my grandson."

The old man also laughed and said, "Okay."

He turned to look at Xie Jiu, "Good boy, thank you."

He knew that Xie Jiu played an important role. Without Xie Jiu, their ancestors and grandson would still be polite to each other.

In order not to reveal the relationship between the boss and Gu Xiao and the others, Xie Jiu decided to spend New Year's Eve in a mountain villa.

The next day, she gave Li Sheng a sum of money early in the morning and asked them to take Su Mengjiao and the others to celebrate the New Year.

She led the boss and the others directly from the secret passage to the other courtyard. Feng Zhilan knew the importance of her sister's situation and was worried about what she would reveal in the future, so she blindfolded her with a black cloth in advance.

The other courtyard had already put many of the ingredients that Mo Li had brought.

Gu Xiao is the busiest on New Year's Eve. In addition to official duties, he also has to go to the camp and can bring Mo Qi over in the evening.

The old man took out the couplets they had prepared last night and put them on the window grilles. Mo Li hung the red lanterns that the prince asked him to buy all over the courtyard. The feeling of celebrating the New Year came immediately.

The women were frying and cooking in the kitchen and had a busy meal.

When the sky was just getting dark, Mo Li Mo Qi lit all the red lanterns and lit a bonfire in the yard. Everyone's faces were filled with smiles.

Gu Xiao walked into the other courtyard amidst this joy.

When the banquet started, he walked up to the old man and the old lady, raised his hand and said, "Grandpa, grandma, please take a seat."

The tone was so natural that even Xie Jiu was surprised that Gu Xiao recognized them like this. Then she thought that maybe Gu Xiao had always longed for family affection.

The two old men held back tears, each held his hand, and sat down happily.

Gu Xiao motioned for everyone to sit down again, leaving the seat next to him for Xie Jiu.

After thanking the wine and taking a seat, Gu Xiao held her hand under the table and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work."

When calling out his grandfather and grandmother, he truly felt the presence of his relatives.

Xie Jiu was very happy for him, as were Mo Qi Mo Li and the others. Feng Zhilan stood up and suggested, "Today is New Year's Eve, and there is something exciting happening. Can we all have a drink together?"

"Okay." Everyone agreed, with the boss He Xiejiu's voice being the most positive.

Gu Xiao was stuck in his throat. He was very happy to thank Xie Jiu today, and everyone was also happy. He didn't want to spoil the fun, but his eyes kept falling on Xie Jiu so that he could take the wine in her hand in time after she took a sip. Wine glass.

But Xie Jiu was so happy today that he opened his mouth and drank a glass of wine.

Gu Xiao's Adam's apple rolled nervously. Just as nervous as him was Mo Qi, who was diagonally opposite, staring at Xie Jiu with burning eyes.
