Xijing Chronicle

Gu Huaisheng and Jin Xuenian returned to the Shizi Mansion, and as soon as they stepped into the courtyard, Chu Tingya greeted him with some excitement: "My lord!"

Going out to drink tea today, Gu Huaisheng ordered Chu Tingya to do other things. Seeing that he was wet all over, but he didn't even bother to change his clothes, he looked eager to report, like a beggar Like a praised child, I can't help but be a little dumbfounded.

Gu Huaisheng cut off his words: "Go and change your clothes first."

"...Okay." Chu Tingya retreated resentfully.

Gu Huaisheng and Jin Xuenian separated, and returned to their own room. After walking for so long, their hair was also steamed, and it felt a little uncomfortable to be bundled in a crown.He took off the jade crown that bound his hair and let his hair loose.Just after changing clothes, there was a knock on the door, and Xue Zinu's voice sounded outside the door: "Brother Gu!"

Gu Huaisheng fastened his belt. Although he was a little surprised why he came now, he still said: "The door is not locked, come in."

As soon as the words fell, the door opened, Xue Zinu strolled in with a food box, and said with a smile: "Just now I went to the kitchen to find some snacks, and I happened to see the cook making ginger soup. After I asked, it was specially ordered by the madam. , I just found out that Brother Gu, you are out today. There are not enough staff in the kitchen, so I passed by you, so I brought you ginger soup."

As he spoke, he put the food box on the table and opened the lid, only to see three hot porcelain bowls in the box, and he was dumbfounded: "Even if you count me, there are only two people, what's the use?" I got three bowls, Brother Gu, did the cook make a mistake?"

"There is no mistake in counting, just three if you don't count." Gu Huaisheng raised his eyes and saw Chu Tingya, who had changed his clothes, poking his head outside the door. He couldn't help but said, "I haven't come in yet."

Chu Tingya smiled awkwardly, his eyes dodged, and he became a little reserved: "I, I still can't..."

As he said that, he was about to turn around and slip away, but Gu Huaisheng said two words lightly: "Stop."

Chu Tingya paused, with a mournful face: "Master, I am in good health, this bowl of ginger soup is better for this little brother..."

"He didn't get caught in the rain." Gu Huaisheng didn't say anything else, he glanced at Jiang Tang, then at Chu Tingya, the undeniable meaning was clearly expressed, Chu Tingya immediately hit the eggplant with Shuang The same, he walked in sluggishly, picked up a bowl of ginger soup and poured it into his mouth.

Seeing him pouted childishly and his eyebrows twitched into knots, Gu Huaisheng thought it was funny, he was still a child after all.Thinking of this, he took out a brocade box of lacquer oil from the drawer, opened it and it was filled with all kinds of candied fruits, he took two and put them in front of Chu Tingya, and said kindly: "Eat two to taste .”

"I'm not a child anymore..." Chu Tingya turned his head with a dark face, and stubbornly refused to touch it.

Xue Zinu's face turned red from holding back his laughter, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.

Gu Huaisheng re-covered the remaining two bowls of ginger soup, carried them in his hand, and said before leaving, "Ting Ya, play with Zi Nu for a while."

"Brother Gu, where are you going?" Xue Zinu asked curiously from behind.

"I must have gone to Brother Jin."

This is Chu Tingya's voice. He is very familiar with him. Not long after he came here, he called "Brother Jin" and called himself "Young Master"... Gu Huaisheng walked under the eaves without any barriers , The sound of the rain was rattling, as if it was going to swallow up other sounds, and the two children in the room were muttering, but the specific content was not clear.

Raindrops fell from the eaves of the corridor in strings, as if someone was pouring a whole bucket of water down. From time to time, water droplets splashed down the corridor, but the hem of the clothes was soaked in just a dozen steps.

Standing outside the west wing, Gu Huaisheng knocked on the door with his fingers, and the door opened after a while. Jin Xuenian stood inside the room, wearing a dark long gown. "Young Master Gu?" Seeing Gu Huaisheng, he was obviously stunned for a moment before stepping aside: "Please come in."

"what happened?"

"It's nothing." Jin Xuenian couldn't help but glance at Gu Huaisheng again. I usually see that Gu Huaisheng is meticulously groomed. This is the first time I have seen him look so slovenly, but it matches his temperament. It seemed abrupt, and there was a sense of free and easy, such Gu Huaisheng was even more eye-catching.

"Master Gu..." Jin Xuenian closed the door and asked inexplicably, "Why did you come to me?" Shouldn't he be listening to Chu Tingya's report now?

"It's raining fast today, and Mrs. Shizi ordered someone to boil ginger soup for us." Gu Huaisheng put the food box on the table. After opening the two bowls of ginger soup, although they were still hot, they were not too hot. He said quickly, "Hurry up." Drink it while it’s hot, and it won’t work if it’s cold.”

Jin Xuenian was much more straightforward than Chu Tingya, it was useless for Gu Huaisheng to talk more, he took a bowl and drank it in a few sips.He put down the bowl, just in time to see Gu Huaisheng also picked up another bowl and drank it down, his brows moved imperceptibly, hesitated for a while, Jin Xuenian pulled a plate of candied fruit from the corner of the table and put it in front of Gu Huaisheng, saying : "This one is sweet."

"..." The news of the world came really fast, Gu Huaisheng picked up a candied fruit and put it in his mouth expressionlessly.

After putting away the food box, Gu Huaisheng did not leave in a hurry, but looked around. Jin Xuenian had no luggage, and there were only some decorations arranged by the servants in the room, which looked empty.

"How are these days?" Gu Huaisheng asked.

"It's very good here," Jin Xuenian glanced at him, "When I came back just now, Ting Ya seemed to have something to say to you..."

Gu Huaisheng cleared his throat: "It's just that I ordered him to do some things. It's not a difficult thing to do. Judging by his appearance, he should be able to do it. He is talking to Zi Nu in my room, and I... You stay here for a while and then go back." Chu Tingya's talkative, once started, he couldn't stop, so he asked him to chat with Xue Zinu first, so that he could go back later for a while.

Jin Xuenian gave him a strange look, and Gu Huaisheng sat down on the chair calmly, turning his back on the guest: "You sit too, let's talk."

"say what……"

"Let's think about it," Gu Huaisheng really tilted his head and thought for a while, and then said, "Don't always talk to each other, it's strange, even though I am six years older than you, I am He Rui's friend, and you are also He Rui's friend." Rui's old friend, we are friends of the same generation, so you can call me 'Huaisheng' just like He Rui."

Jin Xuenian was a little hesitant, calling him by his first name would be too intimate... He asked, "What's your name?"

"Words?" Gu Huaisheng lowered his eyes and smiled, "I don't have words."

He Rui has a word called "Huaiyu", but now it can no longer be used openly, only Yu Wuyan and Wen Jingzhou call him this way when there is no one in private, and "Gu Huaisheng" has no word, so it is not impossible to use it again. Take one, just don't want to do that.

His name was given to him by his father when he was 12 years old. Huai Jin was holding Yuxi, and he was so poor that he didn't know it. His father hoped that he could be a person of high moral character. A gentleman is like jade, and jade has five virtues. I used to try my best to get closer to that direction, hoping to get more praise and praise from my father.

At that time, he also thought that he had achieved it. No one in Xijing knew that the second prince was a gentleman and he was the emperor's favorite prince. His father never hesitated to praise him, but he punished He Ze even more.Even he himself thought that his father loved him, but later, when he wanted to pick one of the princes to be a proton, his father sent him out.

The royal family has always been so cold, and it wasn't the first time he knew about it, but it was the first time it was so chilling.His name is He Rui, and his name is Huai Yu. Everything is the past left in his life, the traces that cannot be erased. He carries them on his back, and they always remind him that he is too lazy to give his There are more traces in life, Wen Jingzhou once said that he did not want to look forward, he laughed it off, the past has not been completely resolved, so how can there be a future to look at.

Jin Xuenian frowned slightly. When Gu Huaisheng said this, he seemed to be far away from the world all of a sudden. There was an indescribable loneliness in his brows. He thought for a while and said, "I don't have words either."

Gu Huaisheng was slightly stunned, pulled back from his thoughts, raised his head to look at him, Jin Xuenian looked away, and said indifferently: "Usually, when the Jin family is an adult, it will be given by the parents. I was [-] years old, and my father hadn't had time to read the words for me yet."

Gu Huaisheng's heart moved, and he said, "Why don't I get one for you."

This is a bit out of bounds, but they are like this now, why should they obey any rules... Jin Xuenian was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Okay."

"What do you think of the word 'Yuan Xi'?"

Yuan, the beginning of all things, Chuye, Xi, the twilight of the sun, this is the most sincere blessing and expectation.Jin Xuenian lowered her head to hide her reddish eye sockets, and said with a smile, "I like this word very much."
