Yu Wu

After this day, Gu Mang had a new understanding of Mo Xi.

Although Mo Xi has a cold and powerful aura all the time, and he remains calm in front of major events.But as the contact between them increased and Gu Mang recalled more of the past, he had a vague feeling that this was not the case.

Mo Xi has been suppressing many emotions, these emotions are under his control, but he can't get rid of them.So much so that Mo Xi's temper is always very irritable, and when he stands alone under the verandah and looks at Xue in a daze, his eyes are also shockingly complicated.

Not to mention his ever-changing tone of voice when he spoke to himself, and the contradictions of slapping his face back and forth, he was just like a terminally ill lunatic who was about to be tortured to death by his own heart, but still wore a cold mask.

Gu Mang always had a feeling that the face hidden behind this mask was actually very fragile.

Because of this intuition, he couldn't even remember to hate Mo Xi for beating him before. He seemed to have an indelible habit in his bones. This habit allowed him to easily catch the subtle pain between Mo Xi's eyebrows and eyes. This habit Let him instinctively want to protect him.

Really weird.

Mo Xi is clearly a man so powerful that it is impossible to imagine his failure.Taller than him, stronger than him, nobler than him, and wiser than him.

What kind of self-important self-importance is there to arouse such an overestimating desire to protect?

Because of these complicated thoughts, Gu Mang, who had recovered a little bit of memory, seemed to be much more uncomfortable than the heartless Gu Mang before.

He often sat on the stacked firewood and stared at his palms in a daze.Every day and every night, I was thinking about the past that I had regained, thinking about what Mo Xi had said to him, thinking about it over and over again, and reading it back and forth.

Mo Xi warned him not to tell anyone about the "Night of the Weak Crown", so he didn't say anything.He hopes to sort out some of the past by himself, but he has too little memory, and he can't connect the past. In the end, he can only hold his head and stay in the yard blankly for a long time.

He also tried to ask Li Wei what kind of person Lu Zhanxing was, what kind of person he was before, and what was the relationship between Mo Xi and him—Li Wei kept everything secret.

Just said: "You shouldn't ask, so don't ask. Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing. Look at you before, how good it is to be stupid."

Looking at the flowers in the fog and looking at the moon in the water, in this ignorance, the New Year's Eve is coming.

On this day, Xihe Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons.The servants were busy exchanging peach charms and hanging lanterns, and the hot white smoke wafted from the kitchen from morning till night.Gu Mang was also busy inside and out, following them to chop stuffing to make dumplings, fry spring rolls in a pan, it was lively and lively for most of the day, and he was extremely busy.

Gu Mang, who was obsessed with his own memories, rarely showed his initial innocence in this world of fireworks. He squatted by the firepit and stuffed rice stalks into it, and then swung a small fan to fan the wind.

The sight of the straw burning in the hearth made his eyes shine, and he added more firewood to it many times in order to see it several times.

However it is not necessary.

The cook turned around and shouted in shock, "Seven Nine Zero! What are you doing!!!"

Seven Nine Zero is the slave registration number hanging around Gu Mang's neck. These servants are not used to calling Gu Shuai by the old name, so they all call him Seven Nine Zero.

Gu Mang poked his head out from the hearth, his face was covered with plant ash, and he sneezed like a cat.

Because he added firewood indiscriminately, the cook's pot of spring rolls was considered useless, and the woman with a big waist angrily dragged him to find Li Wei: "Butler Li, can you change his place! If he stays next to the stove , we can only eat a few large plates of coke for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner!"

The woman became angry like a tiger with canthus. Steward Li immediately gave up, and comforted her with good words for a long time. He led the ashen-faced Gu Mang to the backyard, gave him a broom, and said, "You just sweep here. Sweep the floor."

Sweeping the floor was originally the most comprehensive job, but Gu Mang didn't do it well this time.

According to Chonghua's custom, on New Year's Eve, every household throws some dried fruits such as peanuts and longan on the ground to bring wealth and auspiciousness.Li Wei was so busy that he forgot to tell Gu Mang, so when he came back to see, Gu Mang swept away all the auspicious flowers they had sprinkled in the garden.

Even if you sweep it, it's all down.

Li Wei's face turned blue, and he thought, no, it's an ominous sign.

Fearing that Gu Mang would run into some bad luck because he didn't know the rules, he simply stuffed him with a copy of the "Three Character Classic", which he bought on the street to teach Gu Mang how to read.

Li Wei pulled him to the study room and told him to sit obediently at the desk: "I beg you, sir, don't go anywhere, don't do anything, just read here and wait for dinner. "

Gu Mang is very polite: "I have to do things."

Li Wei didn't know what to do, and got him a stack of paper: "Copying books, copying books is alright, right? It's considered work, after copying a hundred sheets, come over for dinner."

Gu Mang nodded and said, "Okay."

After settling down the wandering troublemaker, Li Wei heaved a sigh of relief, and went out to continue his work with a whimper.Tonight's dishes are rich, and all of them are eaten by these servants. Mr. Xihe is going to the palace to have a New Year's banquet tonight, so he will not be with them.There are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to call themselves kings, so Li Wei is naturally very happy.

Just as he was humming a ditty in good spirits, he bumped into the man in the black robe reaching the floor at the corner.

Like a duck being choked, Li Wei crushed the little tune in his throat with a squeak, and quickly put on a steaming flattering smile: "My lord, are you ready to go out?"

"It's almost time, it's time to go to the palace." Mo Xi didn't stop walking, straightening his cuffs while walking, "Get ready for the car."

"Hey, that's great." Li Wei agreed, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Mo Xi.

"and many more."

"What else does the Lord command?"

"Call Gu Mang over and let him go with me."

When Li Wei heard this, he was startled at first, and then overjoyed.

He was slightly startled because although every noble family would bring one or two personal guards, he never expected that Mo Xi would be willing to bring Gu Mang there.He was overjoyed because Gu Mang ate a lot, and he would grab food from them if he stayed at the house, so he just saved a mouthful when he took it away.

However, such selfish thoughts are one thing. Butler Li is still a competent butler after all. He did not forget to ask loyally: "My lord, this is a big Chinese New Year. If you bring such a...traitor to the past, will the other family be happy?" Not happy to see it."

There was blackness in Mo Xi's brows: "Your Majesty called yesterday to bring him over to see how he is being trained. Or do you think I am willing?"

"Oh, oh, that's it."

Mo Xi frowned and said, "What about others? You tell him to come to the hall to meet me when he's ready, and enter the palace with me."

Li Wei replied hastily: "Yes!"

So Gu Mangshu hadn't copied a few sentences before he was dragged by Li Wei to comb his hair and change his clothes, and then stuffed him into Mr. Xi He's carriage. Butler Li's movements were smooth and swift, and he did it extremely quickly.

So happy!Send the master and the rice bucket away!

Li Wei's heart was filled with brilliant fireworks, but his face was not without respect, and he said calmly towards the carriage leaving in Juechen: "Respectfully send the Lord off."

great! !You can enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner to your heart's content! !

Chonghua's New Year's Eve dinner didn't have so many rules, the dishes were already laid out on the flowing water table, and it didn't matter whether the nobles came early or late.

When Mo Xi arrived, there were not too many people in the main hall, but the palace people had arranged the Golden Luan Hall extremely magnificently. Thousands of blessing and longevity lanterns in the palace illuminated the long night, and the floor was covered with a thick red embroidered peony blanket. The colorful butterflies and birds transformed from force are fluttering in the air, with dots of brilliance scattered on their wings.

Although Mo Xi came here in a low-key manner, but he has broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, and he is accompanied by the traitor Gu Mang who is attracting everyone's attention, so he is very eye-catching.The nobles who came in the hall all came over to greet him one by one.

"Mr. Xihe, you came early today."

"Happy Chinese New Year, Xi Hejun."

Although the etiquette was exhausted to Mo Xi, nine out of ten pairs of eyes were aimed at Gu Mang.

Those eyes were either curious, hating, or loathing, making Gu Mang a little uncomfortable looking at them.Mo Xi was socializing one by one, and Yue Chenqing also came, and when he turned around and saw him, he jumped up and down——

He looked good today, he wore a golden crown, and the snow-white Yue family robe was ironed properly, which also made the young man look heroic.

"Shuai Mo! You are here! Happy New Year and Happy New Year!"

Seeing his cheerful and energetic appearance, Mo Xi knew that his fourth uncle must also be here, otherwise Yue Chenqing, a slacker, wouldn't be happy to go around the venue.Sure enough, looking past Yue Chenqing, he saw Murong Chuyi not far away, wearing a silver-trimmed white robe with a silver belt, standing by the running water table and holding a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine to look at.

Sensing Mo Xi's gaze, he turned his head slightly, and nodded with Mo Xi, which was regarded as a greeting, and then went to pick out drinks by himself.

Chixian is cold and unruly, and he really lives up to his reputation.

Just thinking about it in her heart, she suddenly heard Yue Chenqing say: "That's right! Sister Mengze is here too!"

The word Mengze came to my ears, like a soft thorn piercing Mo Xi's heart.He was startled for a moment, and then said: "...she came back?"

"I'm back, I came back a few days ago." Yue Chenqing blinked and said strangely, "Huh? Didn't she tell you?"

"..."

The soft thorn pierced deeper and deeper into my heart.

To Mo Xi, Princess Mengze means a very special feeling.

He couldn't say what it was, it should be guilt mixed with gratitude, so thick that it became a kind of friendship that was more delicate than love.

There used to be two people in this world, as long as they spoke, Mo Xi would sacrifice his life.

One is his Senior Brother Gu.

Another one is Murong Mengze.

Brother Gu is the person he loves deeply, but in the end he failed him.And Murong Mengze loved him deeply, but he let him down.Now that Mo Xi no longer has Senior Brother Gu, the only weakness he thinks is Princess Mengze.

Mengze has always liked Mo Xi since a long time ago, but at that time, Mo Xi was young and frivolous, he didn't understand the girl's heart, he refused very simply, and he spoke harshly, showing no sympathy or gentleness to others. live.Fortunately, Mengze is a well-educated and reasonable woman, she is very strong in her bones, she was hurt, she didn't complain, and she didn't make much trouble.He just retreated to a corner where he would not be disturbed, and treated him silently for ten years.

Although Mo Xi has a cold temper, he is not really hard-hearted.

He has seen her affection for him for so many years.

When she was in good health, she was obviously a golden branch and jade leaf, but she wanted to go to the battlefield with him wholeheartedly.She refused to say that she couldn't let him go, she only said that she wanted to practice, and she would not give up to a man.

She healed him and gave him medicine.In the dim light, she always wanted to say something softly, but at that time, Mo Xi only gave her a cold face.

She saw it in her heart, so she stopped talking.

Murong Mengze was so forbearing and restrained that he even gave Mo Xi an illusion back then, as if she didn't like him anymore, as if her liking for him was shallow, and after being rejected a few times, they broke up.

But until that year, he was seriously injured by Gu Mang.Gu Mang stabbed a bloody hole in his heart, and his spiritual core collapsed. It was Murong Mengze who led the medicine repairing reinforcements to rush to him.

It was the girl who, he thought, liked him very little, firmly grabbed his hand and brought him back from the brink of life and death.

He once thought that he and Gu Mang had a deep love for each other, while Murong Mengze's love was shallow.

Actually not.

He dedicated everything to Gu Mang, and he couldn't get Gu Mang to turn around.

And she didn't want anything, so she gave him all the power of her spiritual core, and only hoped that he could live.

In order to save him back then, she was seriously injured. In order to keep his heart pulse and spirit core unbroken, she actually used all her life's strength to exchange for it—from then on, she never had a healthy body again. body.Powerful spells can no longer be cast.

She once said with a smile that she wanted to "fight all over Kyushu and sweep the world as a daughter."

Such a vision will never come true again.

"There are still many beautiful things in this world, and gratifying people. You will always meet them." After Mo Xi woke up, when he learned that Meng Ze used his own spiritual core to protect his spiritual core, he went to her sickbed. Before, he was really broken at that time, betrayed by the one he loved deeply, and failed to live up to the deep affection he secretly admired for himself.

He really didn't know what to do, he didn't know why Gu Mang could be so ruthless, why Mengze could be so affectionate.

He asked Mengze why she was so stupid beside Mengze's bed.

Her lips were pale, but she still smiled: "Don't cherish your own life for a moment. I don't ask you to like me." She raised her hand and touched Mo Xi's chest, "I only ask you next time When you are impulsive, you can think about my heart. This is enough."

She did exactly as she said, never mentioning the fact that she gave her spirit core for Mo Xi from now on.

"You don't have to force yourself because of gratitude and guilt. I know you still don't love me, and I can understand your eyes."

So after recovering from illness, she still hid in an inconspicuous place as before, silently taking care of him and following him in her own way.Even though everyone in Chonghua thinks that Mo Xi should be sensible and marry her eventually, Mengze himself is always sober.She never disturbed his already troubled heart.

But the more she endured, the deeper he apologized to her.

Although she didn't become his favorite person, nor did she marry him as his wife, after all, after ten years of affectionate devotion, she became the only girl Xi He cherished and pitied in this world.

She is special after all.

Yue Chenqing saw that his face seemed to be disappointed, and asked, "Mr. Xihe, what's wrong with you?"

Mo Xi came back to his senses: "...It's nothing. Where's her?"

"Let's go to Feiyao Terrace. She said that the lanterns on the stage are beautiful. Let's watch the lanterns over there."

Mo Xi frowned: "It's such a cold day, she is a person with weak spiritual power, why..." He didn't stop in the main hall, walked straight to Feiyao Terrace, and said, "I'll go and see she."

The author has something to say:

Princess Mengze: I think I can still save it. I want to go to the romance group to get the female lead script.

Song Qiutong: Hehe, sister, I came to visit from the crew next door. Listen to my advice, no one can get the script of the heroine except the big dick heroine, so you should come with me and be cannon fodder.

Princess Mengze: I am a daughter, how can I get along with a despicable villain like you.

Song Qiutong:? ? ?Sister, have you made a mistake!I'm the queen in the crew next door!In terms of seniority, you are still inferior to me? ? ?
