Chapter 316
"Miss, Mr. Chu sent someone to send a pair of night pearls." Xiaoyu came in holding a brocade box and said.Hearing Mr. Chu's name, he didn't show the same joy as other girls in the building, but said lightly: "Put it there." Saying this, he didn't take his eyes off the painting in front of him at all. .

That painting is obviously quite old, the silk scroll has some mildew spots and is a little yellowed at the edges, it shows a man standing under the willow, he is three points more handsome than Mr. Chu who often comes here, but It looks very lonely and difficult to get along with.Beside the picture scroll is a poem inscribed in lowercase script, the handwriting is delicate and beautiful, one can tell it was written by a woman, but what is being carried is Shaoyou's "Jiangchengzi".

"The willows in the west city make the spring soft, move away from sorrow, tears are hard to shed, I still remember the passion, I used to be a boat for the return. Biye Zhuqiao, no one is seen, and the water is empty. The youth is not reserved for the young, the hatred is long, when to rest, When the catkins are flying and the flowers are falling, as soon as you climb up the tower, it will be like a spring river full of tears, endlessly flowing, full of sorrows."

Xiaoyu has served Jin Nu for many years, and he is no stranger to the picture scroll in Jin Nu's hands.Jin Nu kept that scroll of paintings with her after the He family ransacked her home, but Xiao Yu rarely saw her take it out to read, and I don't know why she took it out today.

"Replace that "Butterfly Wearing Peony Picture" and hang this one up." Jin Nu said lightly, Xiaoyu looked at the delicate and colorful peony picture hanging on it, and then looked at the picture in his hand. The handwriting on the yellowed picture scroll was almost blurred, and the pattern was a bit hesitant.That painting is the most conspicuous place to come in, "Miss, this peony picture was made by Mr. Chu last year. If Mr. Chu comes and sees that Mrs. changed the picture, will you be angry?" Xiaoyu reminded very tactfully Jin Nu said.

Jin Nu glanced at Xiao Yu, and said with displeasure: "Tomorrow there will be a distinguished guest, so if you want to change it, just change it."

Xiaoyu knew Jinnu's moody temper, so he had no choice but to take down the hanging painting and replace it with himself.Jin Nu was very satisfied seeing the painting hanging in the most conspicuous place, and his cold face eased a little earlier, he looked at the small plain scroll, and suddenly asked: "Little fish, what do you think Mr. Chu treats me?"

Xiaoyu didn't expect Jinnu to ask this suddenly, so he quickly said without hesitation: "Young Master Chu is naturally good to the girl. There is nothing to say. The girls in the building are not envious of the girl's good life. All the good things that Young Master Chu has these years Sending it to the building, whether the girl wants to see guests or not is all determined by the girl's own preferences, with Mr. Chu backing the girl, how can anyone who is not good-looking dare to provoke the girl."

"Then where is Mr. Chu and Lin Xueluo?" Jin Nu asked suddenly, the little fish who was eloquently talking about the benefits of Chu Qianyin suddenly lost his voice. Didn't the girl always hate that Lin Xueluo? Some will mention that person's name and compare him with Mr. Chu.But the man surnamed Lin hadn't seen him coming to Miaoyin Pavilion to pester the girl for many days.

Seeing Xiaoyu's dumb look, Jinnu smiled silently, and said: "There is no way to compare the two, one is Zhilan Yushu, the other is ordinary-looking; one is the son of a prince, and the other is from a commoner."

Seeing what Jin Nu said, Xiao Yu also echoed and said: "Yes, girl, the difference between the sky and the earth is different, how can there be any comparison..."

Jin Nu's eyes fell from the picture scroll in his hand to the picture scroll hanging on the wall, yes, there is no possibility of comparison...

Xiao Que's skirt and sleeves were all spotted with red bloodstains - he coughed when he was poisoned just now, and looking at his pale face, Gu Rui became furious, frowned and scolded: "She You left as soon as you left, and it's not like you won't come back. You made yourself like this for a woman?"

Regarding his only apprentice, Gu Rui felt that he definitely owed too much debt in the first half of his life, so he accepted this apprentice to pay off the debt.He devotes himself to teaching him to become a talent, and he lives up to his expectations that Qing is better than Lan, and he is not inferior to him in terms of martial arts or strategy. Not bad at all.

This is not a bright thing.He was born in a family of martial arts, with amazing talent, he became famous at a young age, and won the famous sword Xuechan in the sword test competition before he was a weak crown. He didn't hesitate to practice the swordsmanship taboo of the Gu family-Treading Snow Swordsmanship.

It's not that he doesn't know that if he wants to practice the Treading Snow swordsmanship, he has to abandon the seven emotions and six desires.But he was originally from a noble family, became famous as a young man, and always acted rashly without thinking about the consequences.At that time, he loved martial arts and became crazy, even the previous martial arts saint once said that he was completely a martial arts fanatic because of martial arts.He is ruthless at first, but he is not afraid of getting tired of love even after he has practiced the snow-treading swordsmanship.

Many years later, when Gu Rui thought of the day when he decided to practice the Snow Sword Technique, he would never have imagined that one day, the emotions and desires he decided to give up would be exhausted by it, and he would become a martial idiot ever since. After all his martial arts were exhausted, he became a useless person.It can only be said that the law of heaven is reincarnated, and karma is impermanent.

Precisely because he had mastered the Snow-Treading Swordsmanship and was backlashed by it, he taught Xiao Que everything but did not teach Xiao Que the Snow-Treading Swordsmanship.Unexpectedly, in order to become stronger, Xiao Que secretly learned the snow-treading swordsmanship. Obviously he should abandon the seven emotions and six desires, but he used the word "love" which should not be touched among the seven emotions and six desires.

And Xiao Que's situation is even more dangerous than he was back then.

He was backlashed by the "emotion" of Treading Xue swordsmanship, his inner breath was unstable, and he was almost insane. As a last resort, he had to abolish all his martial arts to save his life.But Xiao Que is different, he has a strange poison in his body, although Ruochenzi has been looking for ways to detoxify him all these years, but he still has to rely on internal strength to suppress the poison, how can he dispel martial arts like he did back then.

If you don't dissipate your martial arts, you will be backlashed by the snow-treading swordsmanship, and you will become obsessed; if you dissipate your martial arts, you will have no internal force to suppress the poison, and your meridians will definitely not be able to withstand this overbearing toxicity.

Seeing Gu Rui say this, Xiao Que was silent for a while, then slowly opened his mouth, but what he said had nothing to do with what Gu Rui asked: "I dreamed of her again."

Gu Rui sat there, his expression calm and majestic, and the hand on his knee moved unconsciously because of Xiao Que's words. He knew who Xiao Que was talking about.

"Master, more than 20 years have passed, have you ever dreamed of her?" Between the master and the apprentice, there was rarely a time when they were not fighting each other. Seeing the mocking smile on the corner of Xiao Que's mouth, Gu Rui didn't dare to look at those extremely similar eyes.

More than 20 years have passed, how many midnight dreams come back to those very similar eyes, looking at me with accusation and sorrow, begging him to take her away.After many years, those eyes became my nightmare, I dare not think about them, I don't want to look at them.Gu Rui didn't speak, and closed his eyes, as if he was resisting a certain kind of pain, and he didn't seem to want to answer Xiao Que's words, seeing the extremely similar eyes of the mother and the child.It was a dream that had been haunting him for 20 years. As time went by, the mother's grievances in the dream would not fade away gradually. Before that kind of grievance was calmed down, it would last forever with the passage of time. Fresh.

In normal times, Xiao Que seldom mentioned about his mother to Gu Rui. After that year, mother has become a common taboo between master and apprentice.But tonight, just waking up from a nightmare, Xiao Que couldn't help but hide in his heart the despair and discouragement of his mother for many years, what his mother never said until she died, finally asked.

"Have you ever regretted that you didn't take her away back then!" Have you ever regretted it?In so many midnight dreams, he thought more than once, if he could see his heart earlier at that time, he could be stronger when she was most ignorant.In the end, she traveled the rivers and lakes, the couple of gods and gods, how could she not be able to keep her last ray of soul.

However, there is no such if in the world.Among them, some people met too early, some people met too late, but they just met too early.

At that time, his ambition was in the Jianghu, he was undecided, and he was obsessed with martial arts, so how could he be tired by his son and daughter's affection.When he understood what he wanted, he was both a teacher and a friend with her, and that man had already inserted himself into her life forcefully.Fate is like that, no one will stay in place and wait for someone, once missed, it will be a lifetime.

Even those insiders couldn't understand what happened in the past. Twenty years later, the child with her blood asked him if he regretted it at that time.Even if you really regret it, how should you express the complicated feelings in your heart?
Even if he took her away back then, could he really leave?

Maybe that woman didn't know it until she died, but he already had a deep love for her.This feeling can be recalled, it was only common at that time.

"Things have passed for so many years, I don't want to say who is right and who is wrong. It's just that what happened back then was not what you saw." Some words cannot be said.Now that some people have already left, the words that cannot be said can only be hidden between the years and stopped in the lips and teeth.

Xiao Que didn't know if he had listened to Gu Rui's words, looked at Gu Rui, and said, "But everyone has betrayed her, right?"

Gu Rui was silent.

After a long time, Gu Rui looked at Xiao Que and could only say: "Now she is going back to Ningzhou - if she goes back to Ningzhou, the Pei family will definitely not let her go to Luoyuan. If she doesn't go to Luoyuan, there will be no It is absolutely impossible for people to restrain the soldiers and horses of the Pei family."

These years, although Emperor Zhao neglected the Pei family, the Pei family has been loyal for generations, and their loyalty to the emperor and the court is unquestionable. As long as there is any change in the capital, the Pei family's army will definitely go to the capital to serve the king.

At that time, no matter what, it is absolutely impossible for Xiao Que to accomplish that without bloodshed.

And if Fu Yunshu really returned to Ningzhou, the Pei family would definitely think that Xiao Que bullied Fu Yunshu.The Pei family always protects their weaknesses, and it will be even more difficult to speak at that time. It is public and private, Xiao Que wants to carry out that matter, and it will not be as smooth as expected.

It would be fine if the Pei family alone would become the biggest obstacle to Xiao Que's plan. Gu Rui was most worried about Xiao Que's body, which was a dream, extremely poisonous; Even Ruochenzi could no longer save Xiao Que.

Although Xiao Que hated him because of that incident all these years, after all, he was the apprentice who he watched grow up, and it was really related to Xiao Que's life safety, it was impossible for Gu Rui to stand idly by.

But Xiao Que obviously didn't appreciate it, and said indifferently: "Master, rest assured that I have my own measure, and I will definitely not repeat the mistakes you made back then."

One is that his snow-treading swordsmanship has not been practiced as advanced as Gu Rui's back then, and the other is that the reason why Gu Rui lost all his martial arts back then was because he couldn't help himself.

If the meaning of his life before was only revenge, but the appearance of that little girl brought a different meaning to his life.

Once people have something they want to cherish and protect, they will live well, no matter how difficult it is, they will find a way to live...
