Chapter 15 Warm Ten Miles
Gu Shiwei didn't answer.

She turned her head and looked in the direction of the palace wall. The pavilions and pavilions looked like a monster with teeth and claws in the dark night. Like those so-called big shots, the dead pawn crossing the river was just a move they made. .

Who cares about the death of a chess piece?
Guan Zhengqing, who was as blue as the sky in the hearts of the people, died so easily in a plot against Zhang Chunting.

No one cared who killed him.

Just like back then, no one cared about whether her father was innocent or not, and no one cared about why she was "killed on the spot" when she had never even entered the palace gate.

Gu Shiwei thought and looked away. She threw the bunch of keys back to Wei Changming, "My lord's order, you go and tell Li Sansi. Thank you, but I already have a place to stay."

Her place of residence is Sangzi Lane in the south corner of the city.

There were several mulberry trees planted in the alley. When Gu Shiwei returned, he happened to meet the watchman, who was dozing with his eyes narrowed and weak.

The night was as dark as ink, and there was a small wooden sign hanging in front of the door of the house in the deepest part of the alley, with the word "Gu Zhai" simply written on it.It was still early spring, and the pear tree in front of the door had bare branches.

Gu Shiwei didn't knock on the door, just tapped his foot and flew in directly.

As soon as her feet landed, she saw a figure running out of the house to greet her. She was holding a lantern in her hand, and she didn't stop looking at her clothes.

"Sister, didn't you say you don't have to wait for me? Things in the Imperial City Division never happen sooner or later."

The visitor smiled, revealing Li Guo'er at the corner of her mouth. Her voice was very soft, making people lose their temper.

"I already told you that the girl just calls me Shili, how can I call me "Ajie"? It's so cold outside, you go take a shower and change clothes first, and then come over and drink soup, your favorite chestnut chicken soup."

Shili looked at Gu Shiwei's pale face and couldn't help but ramble.

"It's raining these days, and the late spring cold is even harder than winter. Do you have a cough? Don't be picky. Just eat pine nut candies instead of pear candy. It's best to eat pear candy to moisturize your lungs."

Gu Shinwei's whole body suddenly softened, and she lay down, her whole body hanging on Shili's shoulders.

"If you don't want to be my sister, who will you be? Could it be the pear tree in front of the door?"

Shili is her personal maid, who was forced into her by her grandmother. She is weak and timid, and keeps chattering like a monk chanting sutras in the temple. If you say something to her, she will burst into tears, and her whole body seems to faint.

When she was young, she didn't like it.

Until that day three years ago, Shili went to the mass grave alone. While crying, he looked at each corpse, dug her out from the pile of dead, and just carried her behind his back to touch the pond step by step. The two writers saved her life.

Only then did she vaguely understand why Shili was called Shili.

Probably because no matter how long the road in this world is, under this person's feet is a ten-mile place that can be reached as long as he keeps walking.

Shili was swayed by Gu Shiwei and almost fell to the ground.

She patted the back of Gu Shiwei's hand and said, "Go take a shower first, otherwise the cold air will enter your body. Don't wash your hair. It's easy to get a headache in the cold weather."

Gu Shiwei immediately stood up straight and hugged her fists, "No, I respect your orders."

As she spoke, she rushed to the kitchen first, poured the hot water into a large wooden bucket, lifted it out herself, and then entered the small room specially used for bathing.They had just arrived in Bianjing, and many things were newly purchased. The wooden bathtub still smelled of natural wood.

As soon as Gu Shiwei poured the hot water in, Shili came in with half a bucket of cold water, adjusted the water temperature for her, and then went to the side to add charcoal to the brazier to keep the fire going.

Gu Shiwei took off his clothes and soaked in the water.

Being outside all night really made her so cold that her sword slowed down a bit. Only when she entered the hot water did she feel alive.

Shili stood aside, picked up the water ladle in the tub, scooped out a ladle of water, and poured it on Gu Shiwei's shoulders.

Gu Shiwei has a slender figure and a slim waist. He is the most popular slender figure in Tokyo today.She was good-looking, and if things like that hadn't happened three years ago, she would still be a girl that could make young men dream of her.

She thought her Seventeenth Mother would become a world-famous swordsman.

After wandering around in the world, she returned home and talked happily about her experiences. She had great swordsmanship. She must have sealed her throat with one sword and beat the shit out of her enemies.At that time, she would be so frightened that she would tremble, and then Gu Shiwei would complain angrily and shout, "Shili, no matter how hard you listen to the story, it will make you cry!"
Shili's thoughts were a little far away. When she heard Gu Shiwei open her mouth, she retracted her thoughts, scooped up another ladle of water, and continued to pour it on.

The water flowed down, past the meandering and shocking scar, and kept flowing down.

"Sister, I have selected two people from Renyazi, they are an old couple. The old man's name is Zhang Quan, he is a carriage type. When he comes, let him hitch a carriage. It will be convenient for you to go out in the future."

"The wife Renyazi calls her Mrs. Lin, and you leave all the menial work to her."

When Shili heard this, he was about to speak in a hurry when he heard Gu Shiwei say, "I have more important things to do, let sister do it."

"In three days, someone will send things over from the old house. You take the list and check it one by one. If there is anything inappropriate. I'm not at home, so don't conflict with them. Just make a note and tell me to deal with it when the time comes. Can."

"These properties of mine need someone to take care of them. I don't feel comfortable leaving them to others. Sister, let me take care of the house."

Gu Shiwei spoke slowly, and the warm hot water finally made her pale face look rosy.

The warmth made her throat feel itchy. She couldn't help but cough a few times and continued talking.

"Chi Wuzuo saved my life. Sister has prepared a big gift for me. I need to come to thank you."

As she spoke, she was silent for a moment, and then said, "The boy who welcomes guests at the Hugen Shop in the market outside Yemen Gate in Xi Nei is named Liu Yang. You go to find him tomorrow and ask him if he wants to take the academic examination. I can take the imperial examination for him. Hand him over to practice, and find a powerful master for him."

Shili listened carefully and silently remembered it in his heart.

After Gu Shiwei finished explaining the matter, he asked curiously, "Sister, did you find anything new at home today? Do you know the neighbors?"

Shili was not surprised, Gu Shiwei often asked her this question.

"Well, Aunt Tang, who lives across from us, asked me if I wanted to learn embroidery. She said there was a bank in Mingjing Lane opposite Furong Lane that was recruiting apprentices recently. She heard that I knew how to make an abacus and asked if I could teach her. Xiao Ni'er, she said that the big shopkeeper of that house is a girl."

"So when looking for an apprentice, I only need a young lady who can make a calculation. This matter has recently been spread in Sangzi Lane."
