Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 196 Autumn goes to spring
When Su Jingchun left Jinan, Gu Sixiao didn't go to see him off. She was afraid of seeing him off and facing parting.

The people closest to her in this world have left her one after another like this.

Parting and parting, every time, it was like stabbing a knife in the heart, causing her heart and lungs to hurt.

I stayed alone in the counting room to read the account books, but my mind was always distracted, and I couldn't close my mind.

Unable to count, Gu Sixiao simply dropped the account book, leaving Qiao'er at the door who wanted to follow her, and walked out of the shop alone.Before going out, he ran into Su Song.

"Little lady," gave a salute, and Su Song, who had made things difficult for Gu Sixiao, was now very respectful.

Since she and Su Jingchun got engaged, the attitudes of the three people around Su Jingchun have changed, but Su Song is the most respectful one, unlike Su Zhu, who occasionally says a few witty words.

Su Song was respectful, but Gu Sixiao was not arrogant, on the contrary, he was more polite, "Su Guanshi, is there something wrong?"

Although Su Song is not in charge, he represents Su Jingchun, especially now that Su Jingchun is not in Jinan, he is very busy, so he must have something to rush over suddenly.

Su Song nodded, and took out a letter from his sleeve pocket, "Little lady, this letter was sent to my little lady by my young master."

When Su Jingchun wrote her a letter before leaving, Gu Sixiao reached out to take it, but when he looked at the envelope, he couldn't help saying "huh".

The envelope of this letter was already very dirty, and the words were somewhat unclear, but looking at the slightly messy words, it was clearly not Su Jingchun's handwriting.

"This letter," Su Song hesitated, still said, "It was sent from Xi Daying—my son has not opened it to read it."

"Xi Daying?" Is it a letter from Sun Tiancang?
This is Sun Tiancang's second letter since he went to Xidaying.Except for a letter that was delivered at the beginning, saying that everything was fine, there was no news.

Sometimes she thought about it, maybe she shouldn't have let Sun Tiancang go to Daxiying, so that she didn't even know if he was alive or dead, so she kept worrying like this.

Suddenly receiving the letter, Gu Sixiao only felt ecstatic, but it was difficult to open the letter directly in front of Su Song.

"I see. Thank you, Manager Su, for sending the letter." After a sudden pause, she recalled the second half of Su Song's words, and couldn't help blinking.

It seems that the Su family did not just receive this letter, but Su Jingchun probably didn't want to give it to her.

Didn't take it apart to see - did you want to take it apart? !
Thinking of Su Jingchun holding the letter but hesitating at the table, Gu Sixiao was not angry, but smiled instead.

Su Song looked at Gu Sixiao and smiled, as if he breathed a sigh of relief, "My son said, if the little lady is not angry, then give this letter to the little lady."

This is Su Jingchun's letter. The envelope is specially written in thin gold, "Si Xiaoqing sees you", full of affection, just like this pen.

Gu Sixiao's face was slightly hot, she took the letter and nodded, and called Steward Zhang to come over and let Su Song drink tea, but she returned to the tent by herself.

The two letters were placed on the table, and she opened the letter left by Su Jingchun without thinking too much.

At the beginning, it was still the intimate address on the envelope: "Si Xiao Qing Qing".

"Let me guess, my wife must read my letter first!" A joke made Gu Sixiao seem to see Su Jingchun's smiling face.

"It's almost dawn, but I still can't fall asleep. Sixiao, I haven't left yet, I miss you already—how can I be a 'lovesick' after traveling thousands of miles? I'm afraid, I'm going to be sick when I miss you... "

"I just know the sweet talk..." She reproached in a low voice, lowered her eyes, but already burst into tears.

After wiping away her tears, Gu Sixiao read Sun Tiancang's letter again, and her mood calmed down a lot.

In Sun Tiancang's letter, he was not as glib as Su Jingchun was, and although he said he missed him, he was very reserved.More about his life in Xidaying for two years.

He said that it was very difficult for a newcomer when he first arrived, so he didn't write a letter to Gu Sixiao, afraid that she would miss her, and also afraid that he would receive a reply, so he couldn't help but want to run back.

In the past two years, Sun Tiancang has experienced countless battles, big and small, and has become accustomed to life in the army. He also made military achievements in the border victory last month, and finally felt that he could face Gu Sixiao, so he wrote the good news.

At the end of the letter, Sun Tiancang wrote: "Huaer, wait for me!"

wait for him?wait for them?People who leave will never know how hard it is to wait.

Sighing softly, Gu Sixiao took the paper and ink, spread out the paper, but was the first to write a reply to Sun Tiancang.

First, she answered his greetings in the letter, and then said that she had already recognized her father, but this father——some things are hard to say in the letter, and the specific things will be discussed when we meet in the future.Many things have happened in these years, if we meet, there should be many things, too many to talk about...

There was no mention of engagement, firstly it was inconvenient to speak in a letter, and secondly Gu Sixiao didn't know how to talk about it.We haven't seen each other for two years, and although she still regards Sun Tiancang as her brother in her heart, it is a bit embarrassing to suddenly mention the matter of engagement.

"I have a lot of things to say to you, brother Tiancang. I hope we can reunite soon. Brother, please take care."

Putting down the pen, Gu Sixiao picked up Su Jingchun's letter, but could only smile wryly.

She also wanted to write a letter to Su Jingchun, but how to send it after writing?The sea is no better than land, how can she...

While hesitating, someone knocked on the door outside, and Su Song whispered through the door: "Little lady, there is one more thing I forgot to say. Every other month, there is a fleet of ships going out to sea. If the little lady wants to write to my son, It can be handed over to the villain and sent by the fleet. Although the time of receipt may be later, it is still possible to receive it.”

"Understood!" In response, Gu Sixiao read Su Jingchun's letter again and couldn't help laughing.

It's not that Su Song forgot to say this!It's clear that Su Jingchun had made arrangements a long time ago to talk about this matter at this time.

"You, you, even here, you want to make my heart flutter..."

Picking up the pen, Gu Sixiao thought and thought, but only let out a low sigh.

There seemed to be a thousand words in my heart, but when it fell on the pen, it was just the word "take care".

Turning her head away, it took her a long time before she wrote two words "waiting for you".

After handing the letter to Su Song to take away, Gu Sixiao felt as if there was a void in her heart, panicked and uncomfortable.

Steward Zhang who was following behind lowered his head and said, "Young Master, the shopkeeper Zhang from Qingshui County is here. Look, do you see me now?"

"See you now!" Bracing herself up, Gu Sixiao shook her head to shake off those other emotions.

The shop in Nancheng still needs a shopkeeper. Although Xiao Zhang's shopkeeper is still lacking in experience and qualifications, he is loyal. She also wants to put someone at ease in such an important place as Nancheng shop.

Turning around and walking downstairs, the sadness on Gu Sixiao's face has been wiped off.

Su Jingchun left Jinan with the boat for an indescribable cause.Sun Tiancang fought hard in Xidaying for the purpose of making contributions.And she, this city of Jinan, is her battlefield.

Although her shoulders are weak, since she has a heavy burden on her, she must lift it up.From now on, the Xue family is the home she wants to protect.

Having made up her mind, Gu Sixiao put all her thoughts on the Xue family's property.Although she is not as strong and cunning as Xue Wanhua, but she has hidden needles in the cotton, and the small tricks in the dark are unbearable.

The most wonderful thing is that Gu Sixiao's reputation is excellent.The people who treat Xue's family are very friendly, and every year during festivals, they must give red envelopes.In addition to the red envelopes, there must also be etiquette. Although it is not very expensive, there are a lot of pork legs, wine, and various foods.

If something happened to any guy's family, he would definitely seek medical treatment or help.Although it doesn't seem like a big deal at ordinary times, after a long time, she has gained the title of female Bodhisattva.

Up to the shopkeeper, down to the clerk, the young and the old in the family all give their thumbs up when the young master is mentioned.

Occasionally, I mentioned the former shopkeepers who were replaced, and I only got a "Yeah, those guys who have eaten black hearts, it's right to be driven away! You didn't hear what the young boss said, and they will pay dividends every year in the future. Although How many do not agree, but as long as it is a member of the Xue family, there are all of them. Those damn bastards, back then it was all our money!"

As soon as these words were said, the people who wanted to talk about it also fell silent.

In more than half a year, Gu Sixiao has subdued Xue's family.

Although relying on such small means as small favors and small benefits seems a bit dishonest, but in the end he still has a firm foothold.It's just that Xue Wanhua's prestige is not as good as it was back then, but now the entire Xue family is dominated by her, and there are no voices of opposition from before.

The wind blows, especially with a hint of chill.

Gu Sixiao raised her head, looked up at the branches across the window, saw the new green hair on it, and couldn't help pursing her lips and smiling.

Lowering her head, she opened the small red lacquer box, put the letter in it, closed it gently, and hugged it in her arms.

It was already last month that I received Su Jingchun's last letter.

In the letter, Su Jingchun said that everything is going well, he is now in Silla, and he may return to Middle-earth after a while.

In terms of time, I think it should be almost here.

It was inconvenient to send letters, but every day she felt that there were so many things she wanted to say to Su Jingchun.Every three to five days, she would always write a letter and put it in the box to be delivered when the fleet was about to leave.

"Perhaps, when you receive this letter, you should be on your way back, right?"

Holding the box, she didn't take anyone with her, and walked slowly towards Suji by herself.

Along the way, she occasionally looked up and saw the new green sprouting across the wall, and she couldn't help smiling.

The cold winter is over, spring has come, and the person she is thinking about should also come back.

"Miss Gu!"

Hearing the cry, Gu Sixiao turned around with a habitual smile on her face.

Her gaze flickered across the familiar carriage on the side of the road, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became brighter and brighter.

Slowly moving forward, before she could speak, the girl who was lying in front of the window calling her had already stepped aside, revealing the graceful Lin Mo Niang in the car.

"Sister Hua'er, long time no see, where are you going, I'll give you a ride!"

Smiling and nodding, Gu Sixiao was not polite, got into the car and said lightly: "Go to Suji Fan Walk! Where's Sister Mo Niang?"

Glancing across the car, her smile became even brighter, "Oh, I see, my sister is going to do a dowry!"

With a flushed face, Lin Moniang turned her head away in a concealed manner, but asked again: "Master Su hasn't come back yet? Where did he go? How could he bear to leave my sister alone?"
