beauty heart thorn

Chapter 55
Gu Mingzhu was petite and was carried behind his back. The two turned around the rock and followed the direction of the stream.

Just as Qiong Wu put the harpoon on fire, he looked back and saw that no one was there. He looked around in doubt for a while, and turned his head in vain.

The fish in the stream are vigorously moving, and the sunlight falls on the water through the leaves, like copper and silver falling one by one.

The two walked for a while, and then Xu Jue put her on a raised stone.

The stream is cool.

Gu Mingzhu looked left and right and asked, "Where's the pearl fish?"

Xu Jue took a few steps forward and said, "This is it."

He pushed aside the piled rocks, and the rocks sank to the bottom of the water with a plop, and soon all the fish lying under the rocks were swimming around.

"Hey...Look, there are really pearl fish!" Gu Mingzhu's tone was like a child who found something interesting: "It's over there!"

The whole body of orange-red fish wagged its tail and ran wildly.

Gu Mingzhu excitedly said: "How do you know there are pearl fish here?"

Xu Jue crossed her hips, looked up at her, and said with a smile, "This is a small fish I released when I was young. Now that I have grown up, there are more pearl fish."

Today he was wearing a light blue double-breasted robe and a high ponytail. Because of Gu Mingzhu's excitement, he also had a triumphant smile on his face.

A high-spirited young man.

Gu Mingzhu stared fixedly at him in the water.

"What's wrong? Looking at me like that?" Xu Jue asked.

Gu Mingzhu stood up on the rock, she looked down at him, and he looked up at her.

Gu Mingzhu suddenly smiled and said loudly to him, "Follow me."

As soon as the voice fell, it fell towards him.

Xu Jue was startled: "Wanwan..."

He stretched out his hand involuntarily, his arms sank suddenly, and he staggered a few steps. Gu Mingzhu had already landed firmly in his arms.

Xu Jue stabilized his figure, seeing Gu Mingzhu smiling like a flower in her arms, he couldn't help saying: "Reckless, I'm not afraid of falling into this water."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Didn't you catch me?"

"What if I don't catch it?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "If you don't catch it, just take a bath."

Xu Jue was amused by her words, he had an extremely strong arm, he weighed the person, and said: "Nonsense."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Xu Jue."

"kindness?"

She looked at him, and suddenly leaned forward, pecked his cheek, and said with a smile, "This is your thank you gift for catching me."

Xu Jue said: "Wanwan, why don't you dance again and see if I can catch it this time."

Gu Mingzhu said: "That's not going to happen, don't use your brains."

Xu Jue smiled slightly, and said regretfully, "Okay, I have to let go."

"Ah Jue... sister..." Gu Xiurong's voice came from not far away.

Gu Mingzhu responded loudly: "Here it is!"

She said to Xu Jue in a low voice, "Let's go back."

Xu Jue returned the same way with Gu Mingzhu on his back, and when he circled around the rock, Gu Xiurong, who was under the shade of a tree, waved to them.

When the two reached the shore, he asked, "What did you do?"

Xu Jue twisted his wet robe, and said without changing expression: "I took her to see the fish. When I was young, I put a few pearl fish in this stream. Later, the host told me that the pearl fish breeds here. A home is settled in the midstream."

Gu Xiurong said: "The pearl fish here was actually released by you, I can't tell, you still have such leisure."

Qiong Wu had already grilled the fish, and handed the fish respectfully to Xu Jue, then to Gu Xiurong and Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu took it with a smile, put it in her mouth and was about to bite, when she realized that it was hot, she put the fish aside to cool.

Gu Xiurong had already started to bite.

"Well, Qiong Wu's grilled fish is pretty good."

Qiong Wu was praised, and immediately laughed: "Of course, this is the secret recipe passed down from the ancestors."

"Lao Shizi's ancestral secret recipe, you have been by my side since childhood, is it my secret recipe?"

Gu Mingzhu laughed out loud.

Xu Jue handed the fish in his hand to Gu Mingzhu, and said, "This one is not hot."

His movements were very natural, Qiong Wu took a quick look, then lowered his head and continued to fish.

Gu Mingzhu glanced at Gu Xiurong a little stiffly, reached out to take it, and said, "Thank you brother Xu."

Xu Jue pursed her lips and said nothing.

Gu Xiurong smiled and said, "Ah Jue, you are a better brother than me."

He bit the fish, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Sister, have you returned the jade pendant to A Jue?"

"What?" Gu Mingzhu was puzzled.

Gu Xiurong said: "It's the sapphire jade pendant at the Wu family banquet. A Jue said that it was just to save you from the siege that night. The sapphire pendant was passed on to the daughter-in-law by the Xu family. You must not just keep it just because it looks good."

Gu Mingzhu was biting the fish, so she couldn't help but look at Xu Jue.

Xu Jue said, "It's back."

Gu Xiurong nodded: "That's good."

Gu Mingzhu once told others not to know about the matter between the two of them, and Xu Jue also knew that the Xu family tree was very flamboyant, too much flamboyance might be bad for her, so she complied.

Gu Mingzhu lowered her head and gnawed on the fish.

This picnic didn't end until after noon.

When the three of them finished their pleasant day and rode their horses back to Jiangling, it was almost dusk.

Gu Mingzhu returned to the garden, took a hot bath first, and then called Yueyan.

"Early tomorrow morning, you go to the bank, pull out the money on the account, and transfer it back to Liangzhou."

Gu Mingzhu spread out a piece of rice paper, and picked up a pen to write a letter.

Yueyan said: "How much?"

Gu Mingzhu didn't raise her head: "All of them."

Yueyan raised her head suddenly: "All?"

"You heard me right, it's all." Gu Mingzhu said: "The situation has changed, and I can't delay any longer. Liangzhou spends a lot of money, so I can't be negligent."

Liangzhou...?
Yue Yan looked at the person who was writing quickly, her face was rather dignified, she stopped writing quickly, blew on the ink, and said: "You send this letter yourself, go now."

Gu Mingzhu folded the letter, handed it to her, and called out, "Ah San."

Ah San quickly entered, "Miss."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Prepare the car, I'm going to the Thirteen Gardens."

"Yes."

When Chun'er brought food into the house full of joy, Gu Mingzhu and Ah San had already entered the Thirteenth Garden through the side door.

The first floor is full of tables, and the Spring Garden troupe is performing on the stage.

Gu Mingzhu led Ah San straight to the private room, the servant served tea, Gu Mingzhu waved his hand, and he retreated out with great insight.

Gu Mingzhu pushed open the window. This private room has the best view in the Thirteenth Garden. There are two windows at the front and back, so you can see the front hall and the lake behind.

She quietly looked at the people in the lobby, wondering what she was thinking.

Ah San stood beside her, and after a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Close the door and enter.

Gu Mingzhu turned around, Ah San closed the window, and she said, "Uncle Guan, it's so late, why are there still these guests?"

Guan Dao: "Miss, I don't know. Recently, the business of the Thirteenth Garden is getting better day by day. There are still people who want to send it to the house. Don't be busy."

Gu Mingzhu smiled slightly: "Uncle Guan has worked hard."

"It's not hard work, it's just..." Guan Da paused, and continued: "Miss, I want to hire another master."

Gu Mingzhu sat down at the table and said, "Today, I'm just talking about this matter."

Guan Da was taken aback: "...Miss wants to change the chef?"

Gu Mingzhu shook her head: "Uncle Guan guessed wrong. In the thirteen gardens, Uncle Guan can invite people as he wants, and he doesn't need to discuss with me."

Guan Da was still a little confused.

Gu Mingzhu said: "In the future, I won't come to the Thirteen Gardens, and Uncle Guan doesn't need to go to Gu's Mansion again."
