Chapter 5
Just as Gu Ruoyao entered the courtyard, a small figure rushed towards her from afar and threw herself into her arms.

"Sister, why did you come here! Why did you come here, don't you want Brother Chen too!" Gu Zichen hugged his sister, crying selfishly.

He had never seen his mother, had no idea what a mother was.

But as long as he can remember, his sister has been with him every day and has never left.

But a few days ago, my father disappeared, and my sister was lying in bed every day.

He secretly heard from the little maid in the yard that his sister was sick and seemed to be dying.

He knows what death is.

If he died, he would never see him again, just like his father, even if he looked for him day and night, his father never appeared again.

He doesn't want his sister to die, he doesn't want his sister, he doesn't want him.

Gu Zichen gently grabbed Gu Ruoyao's neck with a pair of small hands, refusing to let go.

Gu Ruoyao's eyes were slightly red.

"Slow down, slow down, you're sweating profusely." Gu Ruoyao comforted her younger brother for a while, then coaxed him out of her arms, and wiped the sweat on his face with an embroidered handkerchief. A thin layer of sweat.Then he pulled Gu Zichen to introduce Lin Ruizhi.

But he didn't want Gu Zichen to widen his eyes when he saw Lin Ruizhi, shouted "Brother Seventeen", and rushed into Lin Ruizhi's arms like a small cannonball.

"Brother Chen doesn't seem to be eating well, why is it still as light as before?" Lin Ruizhi picked up Brother Chen effortlessly, and then supported Brother Chen's little buttocks, sitting firmly on his shoulder.

Brother Chen yelled in surprise, and the two started running in the yard.

This is really long-lost happiness.

Gu Ruoyao squinted her eyes.

Mother Hu wiped the corners of her eyes, then hurriedly turned around to bring a cup of hot tea, and the two of them stood under the corridor and watched them play.

"Brother Chen has seen Brother Seventeen?" Gu Ruoyao asked.

"I saw it once years ago. At that time, the brother of the Lin family seemed to have brought a wood sparrow over. With a twist of its wings, the bird started to walk on its own. The young master was very happy." Mother Hu sighed.

Gu Ruoyao nodded.

She had seen the moving sparrow.

It turned out that the bird was given by Brother Shiqi, but it is strange that Brother Chen still remembers him.

Children always have deep memories of people or things that bring them happiness.

It's a pity that I came back in a hurry this time, and the wood sparrow was not brought back.

Gu Ruoyao smiled.

But it doesn't matter, she believes that it won't be long before their siblings can leave Shanyang and return to Huaining County.

As for Shanyang County, let them all rot together.
Brother Chen couldn't sleep well in the past few days, and now he was tired after playing wildly, and fell asleep in Gu Ruoyao's arms before Madam Hu could change him into dry clothes.

After Brother Chen was settled, the two sat down in the courtyard again.

Vanilla served tea to the two of them, then stepped aside.

"My school and I asked for leave for three days, and we have to leave today. Does my sister have anything to say? Brother Seventeen will definitely do his best." Lin Ruizhi said after taking a sip of tea.

Lin Ruizhi was studying at Songhe Academy in Huaining, and he will end this year. He is talented and intelligent, and his master thinks highly of him, so he naturally takes a close look at him.

Gu Ruoyao thought for a while, then took off her purse, took out the seal of Baicaotang from it, and put it on the table.

"This is...?" Lin Ruizhi was puzzled.

"Brother Seventeen, please help keep it." Gu Ruoyao pushed the seal in front of Lin Rui, "My father is newly mourning, Ruoyao may not be able to take care of Baicaotang's business during this time, please take care of Brother Seventeen, I Here I will write a letter to tell the medicine cabinet of Baicaotang, if there is any embarrassment for him, I will go to the academy to find you." After speaking, he got up and bowed.

This is the meaning of entrustment.

Gu Ruoyao doesn't have many people around her now, but it's just Mama Hu's family.

But on the one hand, she can use them here, and on the other hand, Mother Hu's family is too honest to be involved in business matters. After thinking about it, only Brother Seventeen can entrust her.

Although Lin Ruizhi didn't know why the younger sister of the Gu family trusted him so much, but since she dared to hand over Baicaotang to him, he would naturally dare to accept it, and he would definitely live up to his younger sister's entrustment.

Thinking of this, he calmly accepted the seal, got up and returned a salute, and didn't say much else.

He, a scholar, can't help here in the left and right inner houses, and the sister of the Gu family doesn't seem to be worthless, he just needs to look after Baicao Hall for her, and he is trying to figure out other things, no matter how bad they are.

Lin Ruizhi bid farewell and left, and Gu Ruoyao brought the vanilla to the gate.

Seeing Lin Ruizhi's figure disappear outside the gate, Gu Ruoyao turned around.

"This Seventeenth Young Master is really extraordinary." Vanilla chuckled, perhaps thinking of the confrontation between him and Jiang Shi.

Clear-headed and organized.

"Yeah, Brother Seventeen is very good." This help is really unexpected and perfect.

And she also has a family.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but lighten her steps.

But Vanilla looked at the relaxed lady and was a little puzzled.

When did Miss know about Young Master Seventeen?Why have you never heard the lady mention it before?
After a while, Vanilla's doubts were quickly forgotten, and what the hell, wasn't the matter perfectly resolved?Vanilla followed closely behind her own lady, "Miss, wait for me."

When the two returned to the inner house, it was already dark.

Yuehuan still hid in the house this time.

The two servant girls are still missing.

Vanilla knew it was useless to be angry.

While changing Gu Ruoyao's clothes again, she brought hot water in and waited for Miss Zi to clean her face, then hurriedly took the food box and went to the big kitchen to get food.

According to the rules of the Gu family, except for the New Year's Day, all the masters' meals are taken from the big kitchen by each room.

There are other things in the small kitchen, but only for Jiang's.

Even the three-bedroom and four-bedroom do not have this treatment.

As for Gu Ruoyao's place, Yuehuan Riri and the young lady usually stay behind closed doors, and the two little maids don't see each other every day. Gu Ruoyao doesn't want to care too much about it, so Vanilla does it by herself to bring Gu Ruoyao's meals every day.

It's just that today, the time for vanilla to go out seems to be a little longer.

Under the oil lamp, Gu Ruoyao glanced at the hourglass, and put down the medical book hesitantly.

It was pitch black outside the house, only two lanterns were left swinging in the cold wind.

She couldn't help but think of Vanilla's previous life.

Two years later, Jiang used the excuse that Vanilla was old enough to match her with a servant from the outer court. When they met again, Vanilla's cheeks were blue and haggard. It turned out that her man was addicted to drinking and gambling.She once called the boy over and severely punished him, but even though the boy was obedient to his face, when he turned around, he became even more severe.

She had no choice but to ask Mrs. Jiang, but Mrs. Jiang looked at her in surprise, "However, you don't know that the young man has redeemed himself and left the house, did they both leave together?"

So far, she has never seen Vanilla again.

Gu Ruoyao stood under the corridor for a while, then turned around and came to the door of the wing room, and stood quietly for a while.

Kicked open the door of Yuehuan's room.

There was a "bang", and the door was suddenly kicked open.The people in the room were startled, and subconsciously looked towards the door, only to see Miss Gu standing at the door, looking at them indifferently.

Three people in the house are eating around the table.

Yue Huan Na Na stood up, and the two little maidservants lowered their heads in panic and retreated to the side, kneeling down heavily.

Miss didn't have dinner yet, but they ate it first.

There was a quarrel, even the old lady had no reason to protect them.

What's more, they are not the old lady's people at all.
