Rudonghai

Chapter 101 Consolation (Part [-])
As the head of civil servants, he has the power to directly advise the emperor.It seems that those guards in the hunting ground have been kicked out, and their official careers in this life are completely over.

What happened this time probably touched Xiao Xilin's inverse scales. Was it because of the third girl of the Gu family that she was so angry?

Mrs. Hou can only guess Ji Qingrou's thoughts, and Gu Yunyan's admiration for Xiao Xilin can also be guessed, but Gu Yunxiao does not seem to be ambitious, nor is she a cowardly person who is obsessed with promises, but she can't see that she is very fond of the Taifu. Look at it differently.

Now it seems that Xiao Xilin is more concerned about her, not only sent her back in person, but also hurriedly invited the doctor from Zhuangzi to see Gu Yunxiao's wound.

Saying that Xiao Xilin has no feelings for Gu Yunxiao, this old lady doesn't believe it at all.If you can make friends with the Gu family, if Gu Yunxiao really falls into Xiao Xilin's eyes in the future, An Guohou's mansion will also be honored, there is nothing wrong with it.

It's just a show of favor to a little girl, you don't have to be too deliberate, and you don't have to be too enthusiastic. It's good to be close to her on weekdays. Gu Yunxiao is not as cold-hearted as Gu Yunyan, who knows who is good to her.

After all, the family of Gu's family is not high. If Gu Yunxiao marries Xiao Xilin in the future, there may be a big gap in status.To be able to get closer to the Hou's Mansion, it is natural to have a big backer.Which is more important, Gu Yunxiao must also understand the joints, so why not do it?
Immediately, the smile on the corner of Madam Hou's mouth deepened: "Then there is Mrs. Lao Xiao. The hunting guards are probably used to idleness, but their salary is higher than normal. They are big-hearted. They should be taught a lesson. By the way, after beating The guards should be more careful."

Xiao Xilin nodded, and quickly said goodbye and left.

The old Langzhong's words were still in his ears. He had quietly felt the pulse when he was helping Gu Yunxiao to mount the horse. He had known for a long time that the girl was fine, but she was frightened and exhausted.

However, it took a while to escape from the black bear, and when Haidongqing went to help, it had to be said that it was also a skill.

It's so embarrassing for such a little girl, if she was an ordinary lady, she would have been so frightened that her legs would have been weak, how could she know how to fight back?
When he returned to Zhuangzi, Xiao Jiawei was already waiting for him.They searched the East End to make sure no other large beasts came from the West End.In his hand were four feathered arrows stained with blood.

"My lord, there are two feathered arrows on the black bear. One arrow hits the tree trunk, and the other arrow breaks into two parts. I'm afraid it was broken by the bear's paw." Xiao Jiawei also admired Miss Gu San quite a lot, such a big black bear , even if they are alone, it will take some effort to win.

It is really not easy for such a little girl who has no martial arts and can be regarded as powerless to restrain a chicken, but only uses poor archery skills to escape alive.

"Four arrows?" Xiao Xilin frowned. He thought that when Gu Yunxiao met the black bear, there were only a few feathered arrows in the quiver, and he didn't cry in fright, but gritted his teeth and shot arrows to prevent the black bear from approaching.Just thinking about it, one can understand the danger at that time: "They should have just entered the hunting ground not long ago, why is Miss Gu San's feather arrows almost used up?"

Xiao Jiawei said again: "My subordinates found the same feather arrow of the third girl of the Gu family in another forest, but the color of the tail was different, and the feather arrow of another color belonged to the second girl of Gu family. I am afraid that on the way, the third girl of the Gu family took the same feather arrow. Some of the feather arrows were given to Miss Gu Er."

Xiao Xilin is very aware of Gu Yunyan's character, probably not because Gu Yunxiao took the initiative to give it away, but was forced to give up most of the arrows.

His fingers tapped on the table, again and again.Xiao Jiawei, who had been by his side all year round, understood that this was the eve of Xiao Xilin's anger, and someone else would soon be in trouble.

"I always feel strange about this matter. It's just a little girl who can stretch her arms so long and come to the hunting ground?" Master Gu is only a mere fourth rank, even if he marries Ji Jiaqian, it is impossible for him to gain the power under the Hou Mansion.

"Check carefully the second girl of the Gu family, maybe there is something mysterious about it."

Xiao Jiawei quickly withdrew, but in his heart he didn't really think that a little girl like Gu Yunyan was so capable.It's just that Gu Yunxiao is her own sister after all, could it be that Gu Yunyan can really do it?

And the one who didn't deal with Gu Yunyan, everyone could see that it was Ji Qingrou.Just entering the hunting field, Ji Qingrou lost, and she didn't have a good look at the second girl of the Gu family.

If it was said that Ji Qingrou let the Hou Mansion act secretly to deal with Gu Yunyan, secretly, but accidentally got Gu Yunxiao involved, he would believe it.

Could it be that Gu Yunyan intentionally provoked Ji Qingrou, attacked her, but quietly pushed Gu Yunxiao out as the scapegoat?

It's possible, but it's too cruel.

It is said that the second girl of the Gu family is beautiful and beautiful, and she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she did not expect to be such a vicious girl.

Xiao Jiawei's back felt cold, no wonder the master once said that women in the deep house are no more soft-hearted than eight-foot men when they start their hands.

It's no wonder that Xiao Xilin stays away from female sex, these women are jealous, and if they don't pay attention, they will be covered in blood, and they will suffer from the disaster.

Gu Yunxiao woke up slowly, only feeling a little sore all over his body.The arms and neck are cool, it should be that they have been given wound medicine, and the pain has been relieved a lot.

She felt the softness under her body, and knew that she had returned home safely, and her uneasy heart was completely calmed down.

"Sister is awake?" A voice of surprise sounded, Gu Yunxiao slowly turned his head, and what he saw was Gu Yunyan's stunning face was just a few feet away.

She lowered her head, the worries in her eyes dissipated, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "My sister has been in a coma for a long time, and she should wake up. There is hot porridge left in the kitchen, and Liu Xu went to pick it up in person, and brought over the medicine ordered by the doctor by the way." .”

Gu Yunxiao looked around, and there were three young maids waiting in the corner. It must be that Madam Hou saw that Liu Xu was too busy, so she came to serve her.

It's just that why is Gu Yunyan here, with a surprised look waiting for her to wake up?
There are no outsiders here, who is showing such a sisterly affectionate appearance?
Gu Yunxiao was full of suspicion, and saw Liu Xu slowly coming with the medicine soup carefully, and when she saw Gu Yunyan, she was about to salute, but was stopped by Gu Yunyan: "My sister is awake, quickly bring the soup, it's cold Not good."

After finishing speaking, she turned to Gu Yunxiao again, pointed to the sweet soup brought by the little maid, and said, "Bitter medicine, my mother was worried about my sister, so she asked the cook to make a bowl of sweet lily soup."

Seeing Gu Yunxiao waking up, Gu Yunyan walked to the couch with the medicine bowl in her hand, but she didn't intend to hand her the medicine soup, so she got up with a sneer and said, "Since my sister is fine, there are a few maids waiting on her, I So don't stay here to get in the way. You have a good rest, and I'll go and talk to my mother right away so that she won't worry. "

As soon as the words fell, she Shi Shiran got up and left cleanly.

Gu Yunxiao was at a loss, originally thought it was strange that Gu Yunyan was suddenly getting close, but now it seems that she is doing a show for Ji Jiaqian, this is how she looks like a sister.

She breathed a sigh of relief, took the medicine bowl in Liu Xu's hand, smelled the strong bitter smell, and couldn't help frowning: "You went to the kitchen to fry this medicine yourself, did anyone else help?"

Liu Xu quickly shook her head, and replied: "My servant has been guarding by the stove. The medicinal materials are delivered by the old doctor's boy in person. This servant dare not leave a step, and has been obediently watching."

Gu Yunxiao didn't ask too many questions, and seeing Liu Xu's whole body tense, as if someone in the village wanted to harm his own girl, she whispered: "Girl, but there's something wrong with this soup?"

"Where, I'm just asking casually. You can tell it must be bitter from the smell." She smiled wryly. If she could, she really didn't want to take the medicine.

When Liu Xu heard it, she couldn't help laughing: "My good girl, it's a bitter medicine, let's drink it while it's hot. Otherwise, when it's cold, I'm afraid it will be even more bitter."

She pointed to the sweet soup held by the little maid behind her again, and said with a smile: "Madam has prepared this sweet soup long ago, the girl will drink it later, so naturally she won't feel bitter."

"It can only be like this," Gu Yunxiao sighed, lowered her head and drank the soup, her mouth was full of bitterness, and her small face couldn't help but wrinkle into a ball.

Liu Xu hurriedly handed over the sweet soup to let her suppress the bitterness in her mouth.

It's just that before the sweet soup came, there was a sound from the window, and a black shadow flew in. With a bang, the sweet soup fell to the ground and spilled everywhere.

When Liu Xu saw it, she was so frightened that she hurried forward to check, but luckily Gu Yunxiao was not splashed by the sweet soup.

She raised her head again and backed away in shock: "Girl, isn't this the Hai Dongqing owned by Taifu Xiao?"

It was indeed Quill, it made a mess in the room, tilted its head, and looked over innocently with a pair of small eyes, as if it didn't understand what was going on.

Gu Yunxiao sighed, and had to wave his hand: "Hurry up and clean it up, and bring me a cup of warm water to rinse my mouth."

Liu Xu agreed, and when she turned her head and saw the little maids running out in fright, she was afraid they were going to report to Ji Jiaqian or Mrs. Hou, so she sighed and carefully cleaned the dirt on the bed under Hai Dongqing's eyes. , also retreated to the door.

"Girl, can this Haidongqing peck people? Why did it come here at night? Could it be that it couldn't recognize the door and lost its way?" She had a lively temper, seeing Haidongqing standing obediently on the couch On the small table in front of her, Liu Xu couldn't help but step forward curiously, and asked in a low voice.

Who knew that Hai Dongqing seemed to understand that they were talking about herself, and with a low cry, she suddenly stretched out her sharp claws, grabbed the ground, and flew into the air.

Gu Yunxiao was taken aback for a moment, and then found a veil in the corner, which seemed to have been dipped in sweet soup, and Liu Xu hadn't noticed it just now.

He didn't know where Hai Dongqing was going with the handkerchief, he got out of the window and ran away.

When Ji Jiaqian led the maid over to have a look, she saw Gu Yunxiao crouching on the soft couch, catkins cleaning up, and there was still a sweet smell in the room: "What are you all standing there for? Why don't you tidy up quickly? The third girl's room will not be occupied for the time being, and Liu Xu will help your girl to rest next door, and don't let these clumsy maids disturb her to rest."

Liu Xu hurriedly threw the work in her hand to the other little maids, helped Gu Yunxiao up, put on her cloak, and walked slowly to the room next door that had already been tidied up.

Gu Yunxiao sat down on the couch, feeling that the quilt was still warm. It seemed that before Ji Jiaqian came, she asked the maid to clean up the room next door quickly, and even smoked the quilt with a hand stove.

Liu Xu tucked the quilt up for her so that Gu Yunxiao wouldn't catch a cold, so she untied the cloak and put it aside.

Ji Jiaqian asked with concern: "Is the third girl better? You were sent back covered in blood, which really scared me. I have already sent a letter back to the mansion, but the Ministry of Rites has been busy recently, and the master can't get out. People sent a lot of medicinal materials, and they also brought a sealed letter, and they are also thinking about your injury."

She said this tactfully, but Gu Yunxiao knew in his heart that Master Gu was not busy, but he didn't care about himself at all, why would he come here to take a look?
Ji Jiaqian said directly: "After he has been busy for the past few days, he will come to Zhuangzi. The third girl just needs to rest well, don't turn around and let him see that you have lost weight, and you have to settle accounts with me."

"What did the mother say? It was originally an accident. Who could have predicted it? It must be the daughter's fault, which made the mother worry." Gu Yunxiao responded obediently. To put it mildly enough.

She is no longer a child of three or five years old, how could she cry to her father just because she was injured?
