Tangled

Chapter 76

Back at Qingzhu Xiaozhu, Shen Qiqi was still reminiscing about Gu Tingshu's words, and really couldn't think of what he wanted, but it couldn't be bought with money.

He already has power, if there is anything else in the world that he wants, he only has the supreme position.

But he is not the kind of ambitious person, so what else can't be bought.

"Mommy, do you think there is anything in this world that money cannot buy?"

Nanny He came over to wipe her face with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "The girl is young and has never been in the world, so it's not surprising that she doesn't know these things."

"There are so many things that money can't buy in this world, there are really too many to count. Just one word of love can sum it up."

"It's the relationship between our master and servant, which cannot be bought with money."

He Nanny dialed carefully, but Shen Qiqi still half understood. After listening to it, she thought about it carefully and made a long "oh", but still didn't understand.

Seeing her ignorant eyes, Nanny He shook her head and laughed, "Young lady, if you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. When you get older, you will understand."

Shen Qiqi nodded, handed over the handkerchief, and took out the scripture book with her backhand.

She could calm down and couldn't stop after reading it. By the time she collected the book, the sun had already set.

"Girl, the young master said that he can't come over for dinner tonight, so he asked you to eat more."

She felt relieved that he didn't come to eat at first, but now he can't talk about it, and she feels an indescribable loss in her heart.

She responded in a low voice, she really couldn't get any energy up, and she didn't even have a good appetite, she only ate half of the usual amount.

Nanny He came in with some cakes, she would eat a few pieces no matter what, but now she didn't eat any.

"Mommy, I don't have lunch today, I want to rest now."

There is still an hour before bedtime, so I will sleep now, I think I am really exhausted today.

"There is no one to wait in the house, you all go out."

Now she still doesn't sleep well, she just wakes up by herself, so why add one or two more.

"Girl, it's better to leave someone in the house to wait on you."

"No ma'am, I want to sleep alone."

She insisted so much, but Nanny He stopped persuading her, made the bed and undressed her, then closed the window tightly and backed out.

"Girl, the old slave is at the door. If you have something to do, just give a soft shout."

When sleeping alone, Shen Qiqi didn't want to turn off the light, she leaned against the head of the bed, she really didn't feel sleepy.

She doesn't think about anything now, she just wants to be alone for a while.

Too many things happened these days, and in just a few months, it was more exciting than her past fifteen years.

After these things, she obviously felt that she had changed a lot, but she couldn't tell exactly what changed.

Sitting against the head of the bed until her body became numb with acid, she felt a little sleepy.

Not long after lying down and staring at the flickering candle, she gradually fell asleep.

For the next few days, Gu Tingshu left early and returned late, and Shen Qiqi went to Changfeng Pavilion several times, but they all returned without success.

Taking advantage of the setting sun, she sat in the yard with a book in her arms, watching Jinbao and Yinbao playing with butterflies.

There were no butterflies in this yard, but Jinbao Yinbao was not very happy to see her, so he went to find some and came back.

I don't know where they found them, but these butterflies are as big as a palm, and they are colorful and beautiful.

Seeing the butterflies flying around but not leaving the yard, Shen Qiqi was really curious and beckoned Jin Bao to come over.

"Jin Bao, why don't these butterflies fly out of this yard?"

There is no enchantment here, and there are not enough flowers. It is really strange that the butterfly does not leave.

"Girl, the maid sprinkled a lot of incense powder in this yard, which is the most attractive to these butterflies. As long as the fragrance does not dissipate, these butterflies will not leave."

Shen Qiqi put the book upside down on her lap, and stretched out her hand, "Is there any more fragrance powder?"

Jin Bao dug into her bosom a few times, took out a finger-sized bottle, and carefully poured some into her palm.

"Girl, spread the powder like this, and shake it a few times with your hand, the butterflies will be attracted by the fragrance."

It is said to be face powder, but the smell is not too strong, only a faint fragrance.

She really couldn't believe that these pollen could attract butterflies, but after waving her hands as Jin Bao said, a few butterflies really flew towards her looking for the scent.

She put her palms up on the table, afraid of startling the butterfly away, so she froze and did not dare to move.

When Gu Tingshu came in, she was staring at the butterfly on her palm, and she didn't notice even when he came up to her.

He had a dusty smell on his body, and the scent of the powder was washed away after he approached, and the butterflies flapped their wings and flew away.

Shen Qiqi looked up at him, as if she couldn't believe it, she blinked and saw that he was still there, so she pursed her lips and showed a sweet smile.

"Is my cousin finished?"

"I'm going to Ningzhou tomorrow, and I'll come to accompany you today."

She didn't come for several days, and when she came, she said she was going to go far away, Shen Qiqi couldn't be happy.

The corners of her raised mouth gradually flattened, and finally drooped down like a capsized boat.

She took back her hand that was on the table, and wiped it with a handkerchief.

Her happiness and anger are written all over her face, and now her whole body is full of unhappiness.

Gu Tingshu sat down opposite her, took her kerchief, dipped some tea in it and wiped it off for her.

"I'll try to come back as soon as possible. If you feel bored, you can go to Yuntai Mountain to have a look."

"There are flowers blooming all over the field now, and there must be countless butterflies flying around. I think you will like it."

There is a large flower field deep in the valley of Yuntai Mountain, and there are hot springs in it, so the flowers bloom all year round.

However, May and June are when the flowers are at their peak, when there are the most butterflies and the most beautiful scenery.

Yuntai Mountain is far away, if she goes out, she will definitely spend the night in Yuntai Mountain, she really doesn't want to go just by herself.

"Go again if you have a chance in the future. Cousin is going to travel this time. Are all the handcarts and horses ready?"

"Going to Ningzhou is a private visit, and it should not be too ostentatious. I will go with the prince."

The last time I went out to bring so many people, I almost died. Now there are only two people. What if I encounter bandits again.

Shen Qiqi bit her lip, raised her eyelids and looked at him one after another, hesitated to speak.

"Just say what you want." Gu Tingshu put away the handkerchief and patted her hand.

He took away another handkerchief, and I don't know how many there are, and if I take it again, I am afraid that I will have her eyes embroidered.

Shen Qiqi withdrew her gaze, wrung her hands together, "Cousin, let's bring more people."

"It's a long way, and I don't know how many dangers there will be. It will be safer to bring some people."

"Others don't know the purpose of our trip, and it will be more secretive without people."

"I know you're worried, so I'm here to talk to you."

Now that we've talked about this, what else can Shen Qiqi say, and he can only respond sullenly.

"There are so many women in Beijing, you should also meet some like-minded people, instead of staying in the mansion every day."
