Xijing Chronicle

There has been a gossip circulating among the servants of Prince Xian's Mansion in recent days, and it has been going on for a long time, and every time it is mentioned, it has a new theme.

The news first came from the little girl of the cook's family who was delivering meals to the Fengxingyuan. That day the little girl ran back to the kitchen in a panic and handed her a handkerchief—a big girl in charge bit her ear.

"Fangfang, guess what I saw just now?! That Mr. Gu actually held a man's hand!"

what? What?Mr. Gu holding a man's hand? !

You must know that the virtuous king is strict in running his family, and the atmosphere in the mansion is very upright. It has been a long time since he has decent gossip for you to entertain. In addition, Mr. Gu has good facial features and outstanding temperament. The difference between him and Ni, I don't know how many maidservants of the right age have secretly expressed their love for him, and at this moment when such news suddenly came out, the hearts of all the maidservants were suddenly broken.

"I know what all the fuss is about," Jin Chen, the big maid in the embroidery room, was very disdainful when she heard this, "What's so surprising about this, have you finished all the work?!"

"Sister Chen," a little maid hurriedly leaned forward, "Do you know something, tell me, this Mr. Gu is really, is... a broken sleeve?" The last two words were extremely low, As if the sound was a little louder it would have come true.

Jin Chen was proud of himself, but deliberately put on airs for a while, and then reluctantly said: "Oh, look at your appearance, let me tell you, just last autumn, Chuan Er and I went to the Fengxingyuan to give some advice to our concubine. Mr. Jin made tailor-made clothes, and Mr. Jin was not there at the time, but Mr. Gu told him his stature, you say, what kind of relationship does this have to be able to know the other party... well?"

The maidservants turned pale with fright, so the rumors about the new version quickly dissipated - that Mr. Gu is a broken sleeve, and he is on good terms with Mr. Jin, and he has done everything that should be done and should not be done. Everyone Put away that little thought.

As the weather got hotter, the maid in the warehouse took two rolls of light gauze and went to change the curtains of the Fengxingyuan. When she came out, her face was red and she was chased and asked for a long time before she said: "Mr. Gu and Jin The relationship between the young master is really good, the two of them have been friends for so long, but they are still like glue, and just now, Young Master Gu even personally fed Young Master Jin sweets!"

I don't know that they have become "glue-like" two people in the mouth of the maid. At this moment, they are sitting face to face in Gu Huaisheng's study. There is a plate of hideous caramel on the table. Looking at him, still holding a piece of candy in his hand, he put it to his mouth coaxingly.

"Xue Nian, eat another piece. I made this for you myself. Didn't you say it's not bad to eat? If you like it, eat more."

"..."

Seeing that Jin Xuenian gritted his teeth and refused to speak again, the corners of Gu Huaisheng's eyes dropped, his brows were slightly frowned, and there was a hint of hurt in his eyes.

"..." Knowing that he is pretending in all likelihood, Jin Xuenian is still a little soft-hearted after all, but it is okay to eat candy, and then let Gu Huaisheng feed it to you... Jin Xuenian turned his head slightly, and stretched out his hand from Gu Huaisheng's hand Grabbing the candy, he gritted his teeth and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it whole.

The corners of Gu Huaisheng's lips raised slightly, and when he was about to take another candy, Jin Xuenian quickly grabbed his hand to stop him.

"What, don't you like to eat?" Gu Huaisheng asked softly.

"..." Jin Xuenian couldn't help but sighed, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Don't you know, I told you before," Gu Huaisheng picked up a candy and put it in front of his eyes, as if he was looking at the candy, and he seemed to be looking at a piece of the past through the candy, "I like you, so I want to marry you." Put the best thing in front of your eyes, this candy may not taste good, but in my opinion it is the best thing..."

He smiled lightly, this smile was no longer as gentle and sweet as before, it made people feel bitter.

"Do you think it's strange that I am such an old man, but I still like to eat sweets? I know it even if you don't open your mouth. You must think so. I once encountered a catastrophe, and I can't get over it soon. Yes, but at that time, I touched a candy from my body who didn’t know who put it. I stuffed the candy into my mouth. It was very sweet. It made me see some beautiful things in the endless despair and darkness. A sudden burst of hope made me survive that catastrophe. Since then, I have felt that there is nothing more beautiful than sweetness in this world."

Jin Xuenian didn't expect that such a past of Gu Huaisheng would be brought up, and she immediately blamed herself and felt distressed. She wanted to say something to comfort the man in front of her, but she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

Gu Huaisheng had a panoramic view of his tangled appearance, and he knew it in his heart, but the expression on his face was very sincere: "Xiao Nian."

Jin Xuenian was shocked all over, and raised her head to look at him in a daze.

Before that, Gu Huaisheng had always called him by his full name, and when he got closer, he called him Xue Nian. He had never called him that before... And for some reason, the moment he called him "Xiao Nian" just now, it reminded him of many years. The voice of the former second prince calling him...

Speaking of which, they all love sweets...

Jin Xuenian tried hard to suppress the vibrato in her voice, making it sound more natural: "You... who gave you that candy?"

"One..." Gu Huaisheng smiled lightly, "Savior."

savior...

Jin Xuenian only felt that her heart was extremely bitter, as if something was slowly recovering, but now it was sluggish.Looking at the man in front of him who seemed to have a sincere and gentle smile, he suddenly didn't want to ask the rest of the words.

Gu Huaisheng didn't seem to notice his abnormality, he slowly stretched out his hand to hold his, and said softly: "Xiao Nian, I treat you sincerely, if you don't believe me..."

"You don't have to do this." Jin Xuenian withdrew her hand like an electric shock, stood up abruptly, turned her head and walked out, took two steps but then stopped, her voice sounded much calmer than before.

"Gu Huaisheng, as I said, don't lie to me... I will do what I promised you no matter what, so let's call it a day..."

After finishing speaking, he hurried out as if he was hiding something, his steps were hasty, and it made people feel distressed for no reason.

Gu Huaisheng watched him walk away, and didn't say anything to stop him, but his eyes were slightly lowered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"...every time you show this look, someone is going to be in trouble." There was a deep and artificial sigh from behind the window, and a figure rolled in awkwardly, without the slightest guilt of eavesdropping on the corner, sitting carelessly just now. The place where Jin Xuenian was sitting.

Gu Huaisheng glanced at him: "I asked you to go to Xunzhou to assist Uncle Ming and Tingya, what are you doing here?"

"There's nothing going on there for the time being. I'm a casual doctor. I haven't fought a war yet, so I can't do much. I go to the mountains every day to gather some herbs. I was lucky enough to come across this not long ago, so I brought it to you."

After finishing speaking, Yu Wuyan carefully took out a jade box from her bosom. This jade is an excellent cold jade, and after taking it out, she felt that the temperature of the surrounding air dropped a little.

Opening the jade box, I saw a cicada covered in red gold lying inside. It had been frozen by the cold jade for a long time, but it was still alive, and its wings were trembling slightly, as if it still wanted to struggle out of the box.

"This golden cicada is a good thing that can only be found in ancient books. Eating one can only increase your skill for at least ten years. I have never seen it in my life. I always thought it was a myth made by the ancients. I didn't expect it to exist. "Yu Wuyan was a little proud, "I got such a good thing, but I rushed here without hesitation, isn't it interesting?"

Gu Huaisheng looked at the golden cicada in his hand, feeling a little moved, but he didn't reach out to pick it up: "You can eat this kind of good food by yourself, at least it can increase your skill for ten years, and you can find someone to refine it for you later, so you can inherit it too." A little bit of the martial arts of Miracle Doctor Valley."

Yu Wuyan waved her hand, closed the box and threw it on the table: "I'm not this kind of material in the first place, and I think it's a waste to eat it."

Gu Huaisheng thought for a while, put the jade box in his arms, got up and took down a very old bamboo slip from the shelf behind him, being quite careful in his movements.

Yu Wuyan's eyes lit up when she saw the Gu Jian, and when he took it over, she couldn't wait to grab it.

"Be careful, it's been too long and it's easy to fall apart," Gu Huaisheng sat down opposite him again, and said with a slight smile, "I've been looking for this medicine commentary for a long time, and I wanted to give it to you on your birthday... ..."

"This is a treasure! What birthday are you waiting for! If you really treat me as a friend, you should give it to me as soon as you get it!" Yu Wuyan held the ancient slip and fondled it repeatedly, while taking time to stare at Gu Huaisheng, "It's a pity that as soon as I have something good, I want to send it to you, but you don't take me to heart at all!"

Gu Huaisheng was so choked by him that he didn't know what to say.

Baby Yu Wuyan had had enough of the ancient slips, and finally became more sober. She reminded Gu Huaisheng: "You should eat the golden cicada now, and the medicine will lose all its effects when it dies."

Gu Huaisheng shook his head, "This is not for me."

"You didn't eat it yourself? Then who do you want to eat it for?!" Yu Wuyan suddenly widened her eyes as if thinking of something, "You don't think you want to eat it for that kid from the Jin family!"

Gu Huaisheng smiled lightly, without denying it.

"You regarded him as a savior, but you also saved him," Yu Wuyan couldn't help frowning, "I remember you told me that Jin Xuenian had the will to die, but he had you in his heart, so you deliberately Pretend to like him to stimulate his will to survive. But Huaiyu, you have done enough of this, enough to repay him for the sugar that he gave back then, and he is so ignorant that he just said something like that to you... ..."

"You don't understand," Gu Huaisheng cut off his words, "If it was you, and your sweetheart told you that he liked you, how would you react?"

"...That must be ecstatic!"

"Yes, normal people are like this, there is no time to think about other things, but when I told Jin Xuenian that I like him, his first reaction was to be skeptical, and he saw through it at a glance with a very rational attitude. My intention."

"That's because he's sensitive and smart."

"It's not like that, he's smart, but the fundamental reason why he's like this is because he hasn't been able to get out of the past."

"What does it mean?"

"Although he seems to be no different from ordinary people now, the marks that were imposed on him in the past cannot be healed. While admiring me, he restrained his admiration from the bottom of his heart. Emotions have any expectations, so when I respond to him, his first reaction is denial, not joy."

"You are so narcissistic, you never thought..." Yu Wuyan was a little speechless, "He doesn't like you at all?"

Gu Huaisheng answered this question quickly: "Whenever you see me misread someone, his eyes are too obvious, I will never misread."

"That's right, actually, the way he looks at you is indeed different from the way he looks at other people, then you..." Yu Wuyan was a little confused, "You have already saved his life, so what does he think is up to you again?" What's the matter, don't you still want to take care of it?"

"I..." Gu Huaisheng twirled his fingers, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and his tone became a little uncertain for the first time, "I just wanted to save his life, I didn't want to get involved... But seeing him like this, I It will hurt..."
