Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 119
Talking and laughing, Gu Sixiao carefully touched the piece of paper in his sleeve pocket with his left hand.

In the book that fell on the floor just now, she saw this piece of paper at a glance. Although she didn't see it clearly, she saw the word "Gu" at that glance. Intuitively, she felt that this piece of paper might have something to do with the Peach Blossom Fan case. related.

By helping to tidy up, she quietly tucked the piece of paper into her sleeve pocket. The He father and daughter were talking, but no one noticed her small movements.

When He Yue and He Yue returned to the garden, Lin Mo Niang had already returned to the banquet first, the performance on the stage was over, and the actors were shooting awards.

Mrs. He was engrossed in watching the play, she was smiling and rewarding An Yuting who sang Wudan, she didn't notice He Yue and Gu Sixiao at all, but Mrs Lin smiled and grabbed two small silver ingots for Gu Sixiao , let her give rewards to those actors.

Seeing this, Xue Wanying casually snatched the gold ring from her finger, threw it on the actor who came over to thank her, and turned her head to Gu Sixiao and raised her chin.

Gu Sixiao didn't look at her at all, and threw the silver ingot over with a smile. She stared at An Yuting closely, thinking that if he is really Su Mei, there should be some hints at this moment, right?

An Yuting smiled and cupped his hands to thank him, without saying a word, but when he passed by, Gu Sixiao clearly heard the word "water", the voice was extremely low, if she hadn't been paying attention, she might not be able to hear it at all arrive.

water? !What does it mean?
Although she was sure that An Yuting was Su Mei, she still didn't know what to do with such a word reminder?
What does Su Mei want her to do?Drink water?Splash water on Mrs. He?

Holding the teacup, she made gestures, thinking about how to pour water on it, but suddenly she had a flash of inspiration.

Coughing lightly, she smiled and touched He Yue, "Have you ever caught fish? I saw fish in the small lake at the waterside pavilion before!"

As soon as she said that, He Yue's eyes immediately lit up, and Lin Mo Niang who was beside her opened her mouth, but she still didn't try to dissuade her, but Xue Wanying snorted unceremoniously: "The lake is full of koi, you want to fish for fun." ? A bumpkin who has never seen the world."

"Who do you say has never seen the world?" He Yue curled her lips and glared at Xue Wanying angrily, "I was talking to Sister Gu, who asked you to interrupt! We are just fishing for koi, so what is your business?!"

Holding Gu Sixiao's hand, she turned to call the maid, "You, you, go and help me and my sisters prepare fishing tackle, we are going fishing!"

The servant woman who came over complained in her heart, but she dared not refuse to agree. She could only answer first, but she winked and told someone to ask Mrs. He for instructions.

Unfortunately, today Mrs. He also had a good time listening to the opera, and she was laughing and talking about the opera with Mrs. Lin, and even raised her finger to learn how to sing.

Mrs. He didn't listen to what the maid said.

Mrs. Lin was amused to watch it, and she thought that this magistrate is really a real person. She usually looks like nothing, but she just likes to listen to operas. As long as she hears a good play, she will forget herself. After all, it is not everyone who came out.

"Since the little lady likes it, you just wait on me—sister, why don't we move to the water pavilion and watch these girls go fishing and play?"

Now she is in a good mood, and Mrs. He doesn't care if this is in compliance with the rules. Instead, she and Mrs. Lin are talking and laughing and calling the servants and maids to prepare another banquet by the lakeside pavilion.

"Ah, it's a pity that the show ended. If not, it would be interesting to ask them to sing a song across the water!"

"I think I haven't left yet, so it's a good idea to call someone now."

"I'm afraid they all took off their makeup."

The two ladies were discussing whether to call the theater troupe over, and the servant woman had already neatly prepared the fishing tackle by the lake.

Xue Wanying didn't have that interest at all. In fact, as soon as she came and found out that there were not many people coming to He Mansion, she already regretted coming. She only liked listening to operas and fishing!
Lin Mo Niang didn't really want to fish, but it hindered Gu Sixiao's desire to fish, so she just stayed with her at the scene, and said with a smile, "It's really a first-time experience for me to catch koi, and my sister is very elegant. "

Covering her mouth and laughing, Gu Sixiao looked at He Yue who was scurrying around by the lake, and said with a smile: "Yue'er, how can you catch fish if you keep moving around like this! This fishing is a word for 'quiet' Just do it!"

Turning her eyes away, she looked at the group of people who were being brought over by the maid in the distance, and couldn't help blinking.

It was Su Mei, and a few people from the theater troupe, but they had already removed their make-up at this time. Although they still had beautiful features, they were no longer as charming as they were on stage, but more heroic.

But that's it, Su Mei, who is more feminine, is still as handsome as a woman.However, no matter how handsome the appearance is, the heart is also hard.

She had seen how Su Jingchun and the "Three Friends of Suihan" killed the man in black who was attacking.

But, what does the word "water" mean?Now she has led everyone to the water's edge, did she want to?

Just as he was muttering to himself, everyone in the theater troupe had already walked over.

Su Mei didn't show up, but the troupe owner came over to salute, saying that because she had removed her make-up, she was afraid of being in a hurry and begged for forgiveness from the wives, could he just sing a few verses like this.

"It's okay, let Boss An sing like this." Madam He smiled and glanced, "It's not the same as on stage, although not as handsome as on stage, but he is still a pleasant young man."

These days, most opera singers are men, and some of them are more beautiful than women when they put on make-up. Even without make-up, they behave like daughters.

Su Mei stepped forward and sang a few lines, and Gu Sixiao heard it. What is the song "Hong Luan Xi" about?Something to do with water?

Oh, that's right, it's about the story of Jin Yunu rescuing a poor scholar and getting married, but was rejected by the successful scholar and pushed into the river to be rescued...

Push overboard? !Is it this one?
Almost reflexively, Gu Sixiao smiled and said: "I remember someone told me that there was an elegant woman who fished with willow branches and crushed flower cores into erbium, which was extremely elegant."

As soon as she said this, He Yue stood up immediately, "Why is this so difficult? Isn't that the weeping willow?"

Sure enough, there are several weeping willows growing by the lake, close to the water, the drooping willow silk brushes across the water from time to time, causing fish to swim by, and the water ripples slightly.

Without asking the maid to help, He Yue jumped over by herself, tiptoeing to reach the willow branch, Gu Sixiao followed, but hesitated when raising her hand, biting her lip, closing her eyes, she still squeezed over, touched He Yue.

"Ah—" He Yue fell into the water in response, and Gu Sixiao immediately yelled.

There was a pause in the music, and Mrs. He, who was listening raptly, also came back to her senses.She was still a little dazed when she turned her head, but when she heard the servant woman yell, "Little lady has fallen into the water", she immediately got up and hurried to the lakeside.

"Yue'er? Yue'er..."

Mrs. Lin was also taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze? Save people!"

Concerns lead to chaos, how can Mrs. He wait for someone to rescue her? Although she is a married woman who is used to enjoying life, she still rushes to the lakeside, jumping in a hurry.

Crouching by the lake, Gu Sixiao was reaching out to pull He Yue who was thrashing in the water, "Madam, pull me..."

Seeing her daughter flopping about in the water, Mrs. He lost her position a long time ago. As soon as Gu Sixiao said that, she stretched out her hand, but she didn't want Gu Sixiao to hold her hand, and then she would tilt her body and fall into the water. fell into the water, and even Mrs. He fell into the lake.

There was an exclamation on the shore, a group of servants were looking for bamboo poles, and they were in a mess. At this moment, a black shadow rushed over and jumped into the water.

"Come on—" Mrs. Lin stopped her voice suddenly, looked at the man jumping into the water, and realized a little too late, isn't this the actor? !
Although the person fell into the water, Gu Sixiao's mind was very clear. She also knew that Su Mei jumped into the water after her.Without looking, she swam straight to He Yue, hugged He Yue, and held her head.

On the other side, Su Mei also successfully rescued Madam He, and carried Madam He ashore.

"Ma'am, are you alright?"

Mrs. He leaned on the ground, coughing fiercely, and when she heard the sound, she turned her head in a daze, only to see the man who rescued her clearly, and he was pushed aside.

"What are you doing here? Hurry up and go away!" Mrs. Lin snorted, looking at the young man who was drenched all over but with an increasingly handsome face, she still couldn't help but praise in her heart.

This young man was really handsome and kind-hearted, and he saved Mrs. He.He was just saved, but he was a man, and he hugged Mrs. He up like that. If it got out, Mrs. He's reputation would be damaged, and this young man would not be in the same boat.

Although she didn't speak very clearly, the troupe owner was a sensible person, and immediately dragged the person out as soon as she heard it. Su Mei didn't struggle, but the person turned his head and looked at the past.

Across the crowd, facing Mrs. He who was being lifted up, he suddenly smiled brightly...

Gu Sixiao, who stood up, happened to see this scene, and although there was nothing unusual on the surface, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

That, is this a hero saving the beauty? !

Is it the same plan as her carrying Yi He Yue to send her back home?But why did she feel a little weird?
Although it was still midsummer, after falling into the water like this, she felt a little uncomfortable. On the way home, Gu Sixiao kept sneezing.

Xue Wanying stared at her and sneered, "Even if you want to please others, you don't have to work so hard! If you really drowned like this, Dad will be very sad."

These words were really bitter, Gu Sixiao looked up at her, did not speak, and did not get out of the car at the door of the house, "I will go to the shop."

She said she was going to the shop, but Gu Sixiao went to Su's tea house.As soon as she entered the door, the shopkeeper had already greeted her, without saying a word, he took her directly to the backyard.

"I knew you would come over immediately." Su Jingchun raised his head, but frowned, "Did you catch a cold?"

Without waiting for Gu Sixiao's answer, he came up to meet her, grabbed her hand and put it on her wrist.

A little surprised, Gu Sixiao didn't throw him away hypocritically, "I don't know Mr. Su will still see a doctor."

"I know a thing or two," Su Jingchun smiled, let go of her hand, and said lightly, "It's just a trivial matter, I'll just prescribe a prescription and drink a few - but, Si Xiao, it's not a good thing to think too much. "

"Who told you to yell like that!" Gu Sixiao didn't pay attention to anything else, but looked out the door nervously.

"No one eavesdropped." Su Jingchun didn't care, but laughed instead, "I should miss it very much, right?"

"There's nothing to miss. My father and brother also called me Huaer..." Gu Sixiao pursed her lips, suppressing the agitation in her heart, but kept a cold face.

"No one calls you that? That's fine, I'll call you that from now on—if someone asks, it can be said that I chose the word for you..."

"Who are you to me? Take the words for me?!" Gu Sixiao sneered, already a little annoyed, but seeing Su Jingchun still smiling, she was not easy to get angry.

"Stop talking about that, Su Mei should have come back, what did he tell you? Well, look at what's written on this piece of paper..."
