Gu Jingzhi held Caiwei's hand, a red light flashed, the silver bell disappeared, the world stopped, his breathing gradually became steady, and he finally fell asleep comfortably.
It was such a comfortable sleep. Gu Jingzhi opened his eyes with satisfaction. Feeling full of energy, he raised his arms and stretched.
"Pa da" he bumped into something next to the bed and turned around to look. Caiwei was half lying on the edge of the bed with her hands on Gu Jingzhi. She was sleeping soundly with her brows furrowed. This posture must be quite tiring.
Gu Jingzhi felt comfortable and in a good mood. He took the book from the pillow and read it quietly without waking Cai Wei.
Ping An came in and opened his mouth in shock when he saw this scene. He walked a few steps quickly and poked Caiwei, "Wake up quickly and serve the master. He fell asleep."
Caiwei opened her eyes wide and was startled. She didn't kneel down. She was already half-kneeling. "Second Master, please spare my life."
"Reward!" Gu Jingzhi figured it out. No matter who this girl was, she was currently beneficial to him and he had to treat her well.
The word "reward" made both Ping An and Caiwei smile. One thought that the second master must have slept well this time, and the other thought that he had escaped the disaster and still had money to take.
Ping An felt happy, so he went into the back room and opened the box, picking out a twisted silver bracelet, a silver hairpin dripping with rubies, and two carved silver rings. There are a few boxes of small things like this in the master's house, reserved for rewarding the maids and wives.
"Miss Caiwei, go to bed and come back for the night watch in the evening. These guys will reward you for your job well done." It was obvious that Ping An was quite satisfied with Caiwei and even called her girl.
Caiwei happily took the things, thanked them and went back to the house, receiving them into the space as she walked.
Gu Jingzhi stared at the window, the sunlight was shining brightly on the edge of the window, and the little girl walked by the window with a smile on her face, nothing in her hands.
He laughed secretly and told Ping An, "Send the quilt back to her. There is no need to carry it over. You go to the warehouse to get a set of silk quilts for her to use."
Ping An was happy and sad after hearing this. He was happy that the master could have a peaceful sleep because Caiwei was on duty at night. But he was worried because the master liked such a little girl. She was too young to be the girl in the same room!
Gu Jingzhi had a good night's sleep and suddenly felt refreshed and in a good mood. Gu Hu was assigned to go to Xiangrui Zhai to buy some snacks. He also bought some sauce beef, braised pig ears and special roast goose from Sanshun Delicatessen Shop. "Buy ten bunches of candied haws when you see them!" These words added later made Ping An feel trembled. The food he used to coax the children must have been bought for Caiwei. The second master was in trouble.
Gu Hu was a man with strong work ability. He bought everything his master asked him to buy, and also brought back a lot of preserved fruits. "Second Master, you are drinking soup and medicine. These are just right. Yu Dexuan's preserved fruits are praised in the capital." , I waited in line for half an hour to buy it.”
He had suffered a lot on the way to exile. The pain of the soup and medicine was nothing, but Gu Hu understood the situation and said, "Didn't we agree? You will call me Second Master when you are around, but you will call me Big Brother in private."
As a matter of fact, since the second master’s words were not polite, Gu Hu followed his kindness and honestly called out “Brother!”
"Hey! Good brother!" Gu Jingzhi responded in a hoarse voice. They went through life and death together, good brothers who can give each other's back on the battlefield.
The good brothers gathered together happily. Gu Jingzhi asked Qian to order ten large dishes in the big kitchen. Suspecting that the cook had poisoned him, he sent his mother Li to watch the cooking process.
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Gu Jingzhi and the others chatted happily about Kung Fu and formations, with Fan Fan absent-mindedly and sighing from time to time.
"Hi!" Gu Fan rested his chin on his hand and sighed again. Ping An couldn't listen anymore and hit him on the head with his hand. "Why are you sighing? Are you thinking about the big girl?"
Gu Fan said listlessly, "I'm not thinking about the big girl, I'm thinking about the little girl."
Ping An sneered, "It's not easy! Gu Fan, don't you only love practicing martial arts and not girls? Why do you still want to have sex with a little girl?"
"Are you laughing so much? You think everyone is like you, but you just love to look at big girls and little wives. There is nothing serious to do every day. I found a thousand-mile horse, and I have to be a bole for a while. I am so worried!" Then he sighed twice more.
Now the people who were drinking were also interested, and Gu Ye asked him to quickly tell him what was going on.
"I was at the martial arts training ground in the west courtyard today and found a martial arts prodigy with really amazing bones and extraordinary talent."
Gu Jingzhi, as wise as he was, knew who the person Gu Fan was talking about was not Wu Cailian, the daughter-in-law of his eldest brother Jing Chao!
Gu Nian said in confusion: "You can accept me as your disciple, why are you still worried?"
Gu Ye hit the nail on the head, "It's just a little girl!"
Looking at the entire Gu family, the old Marquis is not the best in martial arts. The top master is Gu Fan's second uncle Gu Chuancheng. He cannot serve as an official because of a scar on his face. I only like to practice martial arts and don't like the officialdom. Most of all, he is very conservative. Pay attention to whether a man or a woman is close to each other.
The third master, Gu Huairu, and his wife had a deep love for each other. They had an only daughter. She was said to be a prodigy in martial arts. She wanted to become Gu Chuancheng's master, but she was sternly rejected. He said that it is virtue for a woman to have no talent, and it is proper to learn to be an embroidery housekeeper.
"Second uncle is just a stubborn donkey. He goes all the way to the dark side and even dares to reject what the old marquis says. Alas! Such a good martial arts practitioner has been blinded for nothing." Gu Fan couldn't help but sigh again.
Sister-in-law Wu Cailian will be a figure comparable to Gu Jingchao in the future. If she can get the guidance of a good teacher at this time, she will surely be even more extraordinary.
"Is the girl you are talking about as skinny as a stick? She looks no different from a boy. If Mother Li didn't say she is a girl, she really wouldn't be able to tell." Gu Jingzhi mentioned this, and Gu Fan suddenly had an idea. He smiled and said: "Hahaha, I have an idea. Let this girl dress up as a man, and my second uncle will not be able to tell."
Children can be taught, Gu Jingzhi praised in his heart.
Gu Hu glanced at the second master who was holding a cup and drinking quietly, then looked at the fool Gu Fan who was dancing and begging for praise.
He gave a thumbs up.
