The courtyard was quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the gurgling stream behind the rockery.
The girl, who was originally very angry, actually looked lonely and somewhat sad when she heard the news that the man was leaving.
After she sat down next to the man, she curled her legs, put her chin on her knees, and whispered, "Can't we just leave?"
Guiliu shook his head and said: "It's impossible not to leave. There is no possibility of peace between me and Zhang Jiqi. I am of no use here, and I am restricted by her in every way."
"That's not what I meant." The girl hesitated and said, "With her here to quell the rebellion, isn't it enough? There is no need for you to get involved in this matter."
Gui Liu smiled and stretched out his hand to rub the girl's head, but due to the discord between men and women, the hand was finally placed on the back of his head.
"You are still too young. You will understand in the future that if you leave some things to others or do it yourself, even if the final result is the same, the process is different and it will still be different after all."
As soon as her age was mentioned, the girl immediately became dissatisfied, "I'm not young, I'm already fifteen years old!"
"Fifteen years old?" Guiliu asked in surprise: "Already past the age of hair? If we were in the Dajing Dynasty, we would have already reached the age to talk about marriage."
"So I'm not a child. Please don't treat me like a child in the future." The girl warned.
Guiliu picked up the pot, raised his head and took a sip of wine. He was satisfied and said cheerfully: "Let's continue talking about the top five beauties in the world?"
"Look at this person first."
The girl's eyes followed the small seal pen held by Gui Liu. The name that was outlined actually only had the word "Anonymous" written on it.
But this name clearly ranks at the top of the list.
Isn't this the most beautiful woman in the world supposed to be famous all over the world? How could she be anonymous?
Guiliu guessed the girl's doubts and said: "The nameless woman who occupies the top position is the rumored top star of Chunxian Tower. Unlike other women who have been rated, there are only a few people in the world who have seen her true appearance. 1. Especially since even her surname has been deliberately erased and not made public, it is as if she has been covered with a hazy veil, which is both confusing and alluring. People can’t wait to lift the veil to see her true face, so She has also become the most talked about woman in beauty reviews."
"Look at the comments given to her. Let me explain in advance that this was written for her by my mother herself. These four words are simply disrespectful to the imperial court."
The girl's eyes touched those four words, as if her breathing stopped.
Guiliu said softly: "You read that right, it means harming the country and the people. To use the word "causing harm to the country and harming the people" to evaluate a woman's appearance, there is no one in the past, no one in the future, only my mother."
The girl's mind was swaying as she heard that, and the graceful figure of the nameless woman had already appeared in her mind. But that face was always blurry, because she really couldn't think of an appearance that could be called "a disaster for the country and the people".
Guiliu continued: "Not only that, she is also the leader of the lyrics review, which is the so-called sage. Since the Dajing Dynasty implemented the Tianxia Review, she is the only one who can win two top prizes in a row."
The girl held her chin in her hands, and after just listening to a few simple words, she completely became an admirer and murmured: "I really want to see her beauty."
Geiliu nodded: "Sometimes, women like good-looking women more than men. Most men and women in the world have the same idea as you when they look at the rankings."
"Speaking of which, you are the prince. Even if she deliberately conceals it and does not want to show it to the public, with your status, it should not be difficult to find her, right? You have never thought of capturing her and then using some means to make her miserable for the rest of her life. Follow you wholeheartedly?"
The girl said without surprising, "Anyway, if I were you, I would definitely do this."
Guiliu couldn't laugh or cry, "It's such a cruel statement. I finally understand. You are just cute on the outside, but in fact, you have some inappropriate thoughts in your heart, which are no worse than those of us adults."
"But, you are wrong." Guiliu was a little proud, "She is my sister, you didn't expect it, right?"
The girl's eyes widened and she asked in surprise: "Your sister?"
"Not only that." Guiliu smiled and circled another name that was also on the top of the list, and said: "This person has the same surname as me. If my and her names are combined, it will be the word 'Qingliu'. You can say that in the world How could such a coincidence happen?"
The girl was stunned, in disbelief, and murmured: "How is it possible? Both leaders are your sister?"
Guiliu looked arrogant, "Envy me."
The girl didn't look at him and just stared at the four-character comment of "iceberg beauty". She held it in for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say that sentence: "You are indeed a girl lover."
Geliu was stunned for a moment. He thought of many things the girl might say, but he never expected that she would comment on him like this.
"Abnormal." The girl couldn't help but said.
"Wait a minute." Guiliu held his forehead and said distressedly: "I'm afraid you may have misunderstood me."
Guiliu opened his mouth to explain, but the girl quickly covered her ears, shook her head and said, "If you don't want to listen, you bastard is chanting sutras."
Guiliu didn't tolerate her, so he reached out and knocked down the chestnut.
"You!" The girl covered her head, widened her watery eyes, frightened and angry, "You dare to hit me?"
Guiliu slowly put away his hands, leaned against the rockery lazily and comfortably, and said calmly: "If you were my sister, you would be knocked eight hundred times a day."
How could the girl give in? She suddenly showed her small silver teeth, grabbed the man's arm, and bit it without hesitation.
Guiliu felt pain for a while, and quickly begged for mercy: "It hurts, it hurts, let it go! I was wrong, let it go!"
With the girl's vengeful nature, how could she easily bypass him? Instead of letting go, she strangled his arm with both hands to prevent him from twitching back.
"Ruirui, what are you doing!"
The sudden sound startled both the perpetrator and the victim.
The girl quickly let go and wiped her saliva. Guiliu also quickly withdrew his arm, trying his best to cover up the horrific bite marks. The two people subconsciously moved in the opposite direction, away from each other.
I came here to look for my daughter, but who would have expected that I would encounter this scene. Even Mrs. Zhang, who had always been gentle, was extremely angry at this moment.
The girl lowered her eyes, and she also knew that her mother was really angry this time.
Zhang's chest was rising and falling, obviously suppressing great anger, and she said in a cold voice: "Ruirui, please leave."
"Yes." The girl responded and left silently.
Somehow, she really wanted to turn around and look at the man, but she couldn't muster the courage to look back when she finally walked out of the courtyard.
Next, there were only two people confronting each other in the courtyard.
Both sides were silent for a long time, and Gui Liu could clearly feel the stinging gaze. He knew very well that Zhang was waiting for him to give an explanation. If she didn't speak first, she would never speak.
"She and I are definitely not what you think, madam."
That's how it is to be a human being. Even words that are tempered and perfected are not as sincere as a straight-to-the-point statement.
"If it were anyone else, I might still believe it." Mrs. Zhang said coldly: "But you are the prince, and you are the greatest dandy in the world. How can you expect me to believe you with just words?"
Guiliu said calmly: "She is only fifteen years old. No matter how heinous I am, I will not seduce a girl who has just passed her hair age. If Madam doesn't believe it, I can swear to you, even to blood or poison." .”
Mrs. Zhang looked slightly moved and stopped talking. At the same time, she was conflicted, and not just one conflict.
Should he follow the world's gaze and regard the man in front of him as the world's greatest playboy, or should he stick to his previous thoughts?
Taking a step back, even if he is the former, maybe it doesn't matter?
If Ruirui has feelings for him, it's not impossible.
Zhang's eyes were complicated, and she sighed softly and said, "Is His Royal Highness the prince telling the truth?"
Guiliu nodded and said: "I speak from the bottom of my heart. I only regard your Ruirui as my younger sister, and I never think twice about her."
"That's it." Ms. Zhang said softly: "Then what if my Ruirui likes sir?"
Guiliu was stunned, and then shook his head, "How is it possible? She has such a jealous temperament, she will not like me, a notorious prince. Besides, after being with her for so long, she always dislikes me, either yelling at me or She hit me and had a very bad attitude, but I didn’t see any sign that she liked me.”
"Does it mean that if you like her, you have to be reserved and speak softly?" Mrs. Zhang smiled, "Sir, when it comes to love between men and women, he really understands everything but knows nothing about it."
Geiliu shook his head and gave a negative answer again, "No, she and I are just people on two paths who happened to come together. But the paths under our feet are different after all, and we will eventually separate after a brief encounter. She If you are smart, you must understand this truth."
Mrs. Zhang nodded, "I hope so."
Suddenly, the tranquility of the courtyard was broken, and a little girl ran in with a groan.
Guiliu and Mrs. Zhang looked at each other and knew clearly that it was Zhou Zerui who had sent this little girl here.
"Didn't you say there was a quarrel? It doesn't seem like there was one." The little girl thought and ran to Gui Liu's side. Her head was still muddy and she had no idea what to say.
Guiliu grabbed her and asked, "This courtyard is private land, why are you here?"
The little girl rolled her big black eyes and said sincerely: "I knew you were here, so I came."
Guiliu asked doubtfully: "You know I'm here? How did you know?"
The little girl kicked the messy wine bottle at her feet, "Do you still have to ask? Because my sister said that you get drunk here every day, and specifically asked me to come over and see you every few hours, for fear that you would drink to death. Sigh."
The corner of Guiliu's mouth twitched. If Zhang hadn't been present, he would have given the little girl a big bump on her head.
Mrs. Zhang spoke, "Sir, you haven't told me yet why Ruirui bit you?"
"It's my fault." Guiliu said with a bitter smile, "I hit her on the head, and she bit me."
Mrs. Zhang nodded, "That's really what you should bite."
Gei Liu looked embarrassed.
"One more thing." Ms. Zhang hesitated and said, "What if Ruirui really likes sir?"
At this moment, the breeze stopped for a moment, and any sound was hidden without a trace. Except for silence, there was only silence.
After a long silence, Geiliu smiled and said: "If she really likes me, then that's fine. But I can't accommodate anyone else in my heart, so I will only treat her as my sister."
Mrs. Zhang smiled a little.
Guiliu didn't understand what it meant, "This sentence... shouldn't be that funny, right?"
Mrs. Zhang said: "I thought that Mr. Sir was very carefree. It turns out that he is also an infatuated person."
In the distant sky, the fire clouds were burning red. After a brief period of splendor, the dark night ushered in.
"Sir, you are leaving tonight, right? It will be hard to eat and sleep in the open air. The master of the house is not here for this last meal, so I will do it for him on his behalf."
"Also, sir, your arm needs treatment. Since it was Ruirui who bit it, sir, please ask her to bandage it for you."
After saying this, Mrs. Zhang turned and left.
When the figure was no longer visible, the little girl grabbed Guiliu's arm and frowned in distress, "Does it hurt? Let's bandage it."
Guiliu took his sleeves back and said, "It's just a bite. It's a small problem."
"I knew you would say that." The little girl slapped Guiliu's waist, "As far as our relationship is concerned, you shouldn't show off. Daddy taught me this. I used to bandage Daddy when he was injured. , now go back and I will bandage you."
"That's fine." Guiliu nodded with a smile.
One of the snow-white sleeves was stained with blood, and it was too horrible to see. So Guiliu held the little girl with his other hand.
The two walked out of the courtyard together.
Facing the dazzling light, someone accidentally bumped into Guiliu's arms, but he didn't see clearly.
"What did my mother say to you?"
Guiliu helped her steady and said with a smile: "It's nothing. I've already explained it to her. It's just a misunderstanding."
The girl lowered her head and saw the man's cuffs that were still dripping blood. She frowned and said softly: "Go to my room and I will bandage you."
The little girl immediately grabbed his other hand hard.
The girl noticed her intention and raised her eyebrows, "You know how?"
"Why can't I? But you, can you?" The little girl said tit for tat.
The girl sneered: "I bit it, of course I have to bandage it."
The little girl said contemptuously: "How dare you say that? Just because you bit it, I can't let you bandage it."
The two of them suddenly stopped talking.
Guiliu immediately felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, two scorching gazes hit him at the same time.
Guiliu swallowed, "What about that, how about you continue to fight?"
"no!"
The girl and the little girl said in unison.
Guiliu said cautiously: "How about I bandage it myself?"
"no!"
Guiliu stopped talking. At this moment, he was really in a dilemma.
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him.
"What's the fuss about?"
It was Mrs. Zhang who had just left and returned.
She already had the silk and gold sore medicine in her hands.
In front of Mount Tai, little girls and young girls did not dare to continue fighting.
Gui Liu took the initiative to roll up his sleeves, revealing his whole bloody arm, and communicated with Zhang from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, madam, for helping me out."
Mrs. Zhang smiled, but did not bandage Gui Liu. Instead, she handed the golden sore medicine to the little girl and the silk for bandaging to Zhou Zerui.
"The rest will be left to you two. Come over for dinner after bandaging."
After Zhang finished speaking, he left first.
Guiliu sat down cross-legged, raised his arms straight up, and said, "You two, please."
Opening the small stopper, the little girl carefully shook the powdered medicine onto Gui Liu's wound, and quietly paid attention to Gui Liu's expression to judge whether he was in pain.
It was the girl's turn. She squatted next to Gui Liu, first uncovered a layer of gauze coated with medicine, and gently applied it to Gui Liu's wound. Then she wrapped it with silk and tied it with a beautiful bow. .
Knot, my heart is knotted, my heart is knotted.
The ancient Chinese interpretation of the word means "the knot of conclusion."
