Xiu'er didn't waste any more words: "Miss, please get ready, I'm going to stand up."
Gu Xianting held the tree trunk with both hands, and with Xiu'er's support, his body slowly rose.
Although the height this time was much higher than that of jumping with all his strength just now, Gu Xianting stretched out his hand, but still couldn't reach the upper branches.
I stood on tiptoe again, but still couldn't reach it.
Xiu'er said, "Miss, how about I go fetch a ladder?"
Gu Xianting stared at the branches within reach, and her heart skipped a beat.
Xiu'er felt her shoulders sink and saw the young lady grabbing the branch.
It's just that I don't have enough arm strength to pull the whole person up. The person is hanging in the air, the skirt is swaying, and there is a bit of exposure under the skirt...
At this moment, Xiu'er didn't care to remind Gu Xianting to pass by, and said urgently: "Miss, try harder!"
Gu Xianting cried: "Xiu'er, I tried too hard and couldn't get up."
The young lady in front of her was about to lose her support and fall. Xiu'er tried to hold her up but couldn't reach it. She said in desperation, "Miss, hold the tree between your legs!"
Holding the tree between the legs is a basic movement for climbing a tree. However, Gu Xianting, a lady of a wealthy family who usually behaves elegantly, had done such an inappropriate behavior before, so her instinct did not react.
After hearing Xiu'er's reminder, her legs in her skirt clamped around the tree trunk. This way, her arms would save a lot of effort.
At this moment, Gu Xianting was lying on a tree trunk. As a maid who had served her for many years, Xiuer had never seen Gu Xianting like this before, and she didn't know how to describe it.
I only saw that pretty and round figure, and I thought to myself, the young lady is really good at it, her waist is so thin, but she is pretty in the right place, and she will definitely give birth to a fat son in the future.
Bastard, I'm taking advantage of you.
Gu Xianting was unable to get up or down at this moment and said anxiously: "Xiu'er, what should we do now?"
"Miss, if you use both arms hard, do the same with your legs."
Xiu'er was below giving guidance and encouraging Gu Xianting.
After much effort, Gu Xianting finally climbed up the branch, panting heavily.
Xiuer smiled helplessly: "If you fall, how can you still be a bride?"
Some people will never understand the feeling of trying your best for something and finally succeeding.
Gu Xianting looked up and saw the scene in front of the door clearly.
Xiu'er asked: "Miss, have you seen it?"
"finding."
…
When Gu Quan heard the report, he hurried to the door of the mansion to greet her, but he didn't expect that his daughter had already arrived and climbed up the tree to take a look.
"Brother Shichuan, Gu Quan has missed you."
Xie Guangde chuckled and said, "Brother Anzhong is so polite."
The last time he came to the Gu Mansion, he was brought in by his servants.
This time Gu Quan went out to greet him in person, but he was much more hospitable.
Gu Quan glanced at the motorcade, and when Xie Guangde saw this, he smiled and said, "A thin gift is not a sign of respect." This generous gift was enough to give the Gu family face.
Gu Quan asked, "Brother Shichuan, are you the only one here?"
He was about to take Xie Fu for a nice tour of the mansion. Last time Xie Fu treated him kindly, this time he also needed to show his kindness as a landlord.
Xie Guangde thought that Gu Quan was talking about the gift of thanks, and said with a smile: "Although the etiquette is simplified nowadays, our families are both famous families with a long history, and the marriage between Yangwu Gong and Ziyan Gong was arranged a hundred years ago. If you believe that you should follow ancient etiquette and do things according to etiquette, let the thanksgiving ceremony avoid any suspicion."
Gu Quan nodded: "Xie Fu isn't here either?"
"coming."
Gu Quan was delighted when he heard this: "Where are the people?"
"Oh, many people in the convoy got sick while on the road yesterday. Fu'er was responsible for finding these people to stay in a restaurant and settle them down. In order not to waste time, he let me go first."
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.
There was a sound of galloping horse hooves.
A white horse came galloping, and the man on horseback, dressed in white clothes, rushed from a distance like a ball of snow passing through the study hall.
The long sword hangs on the waist, full of awe-inspiring aura, and the majesty has reached its peak.
Who is this person if he is not Xie Fu?
Now that I see a gentleman, Yunhu is not happy.
Gu Xianting looked at her infatuatedly, her sweetheart came towards her through mountains and rivers, which was better than all the tenderness in the world.
"Miss, are you here?"
Gu Xianting said softly like spring water: "Here we come."
Xie Fu jumped off his horse, and Gu Quan stepped forward as if greeting an old friend, laughing loudly: "Young Master Pianpian accidentally learned the sword, half in the studio and half in the arena, what a talented martial artist!"
Thank you Fu and salute: "Uncle Gu."
Gu Quan patted Xie Fu on the shoulder: "Brother, it's my turn to treat you well this time."
Xie Guangde watched Gu Quan behave affectionately towards Xie Fu and wondered, Gu Quan must have made a mistake. He had already made it clear. When he suddenly heard Gu Quan call him brother, he was startled. What is going on?
Gu Quan took Xie Fu's hand and led him into the mansion: "Fu, sit down and chat in the mansion."
After passing the door, I realized that Xie Guangde was standing aside. He turned around and said with a smile, "Brother Shichuan, please come to the house."
To be honest, Xie Guangde was quite embarrassed.
The housekeeper of the Gu Mansion ordered his men to move the betrothal gifts sent by the Xie family into the house and at the same time settle the people down.
Gu Xianting, who was hiding in the tree, was very happy to see his father being so affectionate to Xie Fu.
He understands his father's temperament. If he likes him, he will like him, and if he hates him, he will hate him. He will never love his father.
It was obvious that Xie Fu had convinced his father in some way, which was why he loved him so much.
As expected of an adult, even my father, who is so arrogant, is convinced.
Previously, my father had disliked the Xie family in every possible way, and he smiled, thinking, Father, are you satisfied that I have found such a husband?
Xiu'er saw the young lady pouting and snickering on the tree, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, what's interesting?"
Gu Xianting lowered his head and smiled: "Father seems to like him very much."
Xiu'er snorted, "It's not just for your sake."
"You are wrong. My father will not give me any face. If it were someone else, my father would be very disdainful and would make things difficult for me. Do you think it is easy to be his son-in-law?"
Xiu'er smiled and said, "Not all fathers are like this. To give away a daughter that you have raised so hard would make anyone feel uncomfortable and full of hostility."
"He doesn't know how to treat adults."
Xiu'er said with a look of disbelief: "I'm going to take a closer look later to see if what you said is true or not, miss."
"Okay, miss, come on down. It's the first time you've done something like this. I feel really unsure."
"Once something is born, something is familiar again." Gu Xianting said and got down from the tree.
Xiu'er laughed and said, "It sounds like a thief." Suddenly he saw the young lady's legs under her skirt rubbing against the tree, and said hurriedly: "Miss, be careful, don't miss the mark."
Xiu'er was really a crow's mouth, and Gu Xianting really missed the mark. Fortunately, it was already halfway down, so it wasn't too high.
But he still fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
When Xiu'er saw Gu Xianting's legs spread apart and the hem of her skirt exposed, the first thing she did not care about was Gu Xianting's injury. Instead, she stepped forward and pulled down her skirt to cover her beauty. Then she asked with concern, "Miss, does it hurt from the fall?"
Gu Xianting chuckled: "It hurts so much, it's like being slapped."
Xiu'er carefully helped Gu Xianting up. Gu Xianting smiled, but frowned slightly, with a very strange expression.
"Miss, where did you fall?"
"Butt."
It was obviously a sensitive word, but Gu Xianting said it was naturally cute.
Xiu'er started to rub it, and Gu Xianting said softly: "Xiu'er, please be gentle."
Xiu'er complained: "You screamed in pain when I touched you lightly. It was obviously a heavy fall, but you still laughed, Miss."
"It doesn't matter if it hurts. I'm happy. If I don't laugh, how can I cry?"
Xiu'er was helpless and speechless, "Miss, let's go back."
Gu Xianting looked down and saw that her dress was torn in several places, and
He was dirty and full of mud, and his image was wrong. He said, "Let's go back, don't let anyone see it."
With Xiu'er's help, the two sneaked back together.
Back in the room, Gu Xianting frowned as soon as his butt touched the chair, but this time he didn't scream.
Xiu'er frowned and said, "I'm going to be a bride soon. If I fall and lose my arms and legs, wouldn't I have to be independent during the ceremony?"
Gu Xianting chuckled: "Xiu'er, you are so funny."
Xiu'er said seriously: "Who am I teasing you? I'm serious to you, miss. You won't do it again."
"Okay, okay, I won't do anything risky again before we get married."
"Let me see how the fall went?"
"Hmm...it's okay, just a little bruised at most."
"If people see it, it won't hurt to death."
Gu Xianting spat: "That's nonsense, how can others see that place?"
"On the wedding night, the groom is not allowed to see you."
Gu Xianting blushed: "What did you say?"
Seeing that the young lady was shy, Xiuer immediately became excited and said, "The groom will definitely exclaim when he sees her."
Gu Xianting said shyly, "I'm very happy that he feels sorry for me."
Xiu'er imitated Xie Fu's serious tone: "Other brides' buttocks are white, why is my bride's buttocks green?"
Gu Xianting cursed in embarrassment: "Xiu'er, are you looking for a beating?"
Xiu'er laughed so hard that her branches trembled, "Okay, let's lie down on the bed. Before you go through the door, you still have to have a maid to take care of you for this kind of thing."
Gu Xianting smiled and said, "Xiu'er, don't worry, I will bring you with me when the time comes. We sisters will never be separated."
"Of course, this will save you time in your new home. Miss, you have a gentle temper, but if you are bullied, I, Xiu'er, can still handle it by fighting three or five evil slaves and maids."
"Then from now on, Xiu'er will still have to take care of me for this kind of thing."
"That's not certain."
Gu Xianting asked curiously: "Why?"
"My uncle is definitely going to snatch it from me."
Gu Xianting became angry with embarrassment: "I swear, I will give you a good beating today to save you from teasing me like a noodle in the future."
The hem of her skirt was lifted up and her plain pants were taken off. Xiu'er saw that she really had a lot of bruises.
Xiu'er felt distressed and couldn't bear to tell the lady about it, so she applied the medicine carefully.
"Miss, are your feet healed?"
Back then, the two of them, the master and maidservant, were traveling all over the world in search of the Lord. Once when they were walking through the snow, Xiu'er was exhausted and fell down. It was the young lady who carried her through the ten miles of snow.
Xiu'er couldn't imagine how a young lady who had always been weak could have such great power.
That time the lady suffered frostbite on her feet.
Gu Xianting said calmly: "It's usually fine, but it hurts when it rains."
"Miss, you have paid too much for him, and he will never be able to repay it in ten lifetimes."
Gu Xianting smiled faintly: "Between men and women, it is important to be in love with each other. No matter how much I do to be passionate, it is equivalent to doing nothing. Do you understand?"
Just when Xiu'er was about to speak, Gu Xianting changed the topic: "Fortunately, all the efforts have been in vain. The Bodhisattva has pity on me."
"Miss, you must tell him everything you have done for him."
"Maybe, when I can't find a topic in the future, I'll just talk about it."
…
Xie Guangde found an opportunity to come to Xie Fu and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
Xie Fu responded: "What's going on?"
"Why did Gu Quan call you brother?"
Xie Fu smiled in his heart after hearing this. Maybe this made his grandfather lose face, "Maybe Uncle Gu is enthusiastic and speaks casually."
Xie Guangde warned: "He is an elder and can do as he pleases. You are a junior, but you cannot do as you please, lest you lose etiquette."
Xie Fu nodded.
In the hall, Gu Quan accepted the betrothal gift. The two parties had gone through the process of setting the wedding ceremony, and then the wedding date was set. Both parties had already optimistic about the auspicious date, and they hit it off immediately.
In fact, Gu Quan and Xie Guangde had discussed the wedding in detail when they were in Xie's house. This time when Xie Guangde came over, they also went through a process and followed the etiquette.
After the business was finished, Gu Quan held a banquet in honor of his grandfather and grandson.
After three rounds of drinking, Xie Guangde was a bit old, and he was tired from traveling for several days, so Gu Quan ordered his servants to send Xie Guangde to stay and rest.
At the banquet, I renewed my previous conversation with Mr. Xie to make up for the reluctant parting that day.
It is strange to say that Gu Quan is arrogant, but there is no barrier between him and Xie Fu even though they have known each other for generations.
It was probably in Xie Fu's humble room that Gu Quan read Xie Fu's manuscripts to recognize his talent.
On the day when Xie Fu came back, he kowtowed to Xie Guangde three times and Gu Quan saw his filial piety.
Sipping tea on the bed, Gu Quan saw his sincerity again.
The three points of talent, filial piety and sincerity left a deep impression on Gu Quan.
After the banquet, Gu Quan invited Xie Fu to visit the mansion.
Gu Xianting really wanted to say a few words to Xie Fu, but it was not appropriate to meet him directly, so he had to send Xiu'er to inquire and look for an opportunity to meet.
Xiu'er left and came back again. Before she could speak, Gu Xianting couldn't wait to ask, "Xiu'er, how's it going?"
Xiu'er responded: "I'm tired of being with him and can't find any chance. I even suspect that I want to steal your husband from you. Miss, do you think I have any special hobbies?"
Gu Xianting gave Xiu'er a fierce look and said, "You can talk nonsense like this. Do you want your butt to turn blue?"
Xiuer stuck out her tongue repeatedly, looking cute.
Gu Xianting said solemnly: "It is no joke for Father to get angry. You are not allowed to say such words in front of me in the future."
Xiu'er nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. When the young lady was training people, her attitude was very serious.
Gu Xianting ordered: "Xiu'er, if you continue to squat, you can still sleep together in the same bed at night."
Xiuer's expression was astonished, Miss, you were talking about me just now, why are you talking nonsense now?
Gu Xianting suddenly realized, "I mean they will separate sooner or later, you will definitely find an opportunity."
Xiuer giggled and said, "Miss, have you thought about it?"
Gu Xianting's face was stern: "Go quickly!"
Gu Quan was really enthusiastic and stayed with him all the time, but Xiuer couldn't find any chance.
Seeing that it was almost dusk, it would get dark if he waited any longer, so he boldly showed up in front of Gu Quan.
Pretending to be passing by in a hurry, he stopped in front of Gu Quan and saluted: "Master."
Gu Quan asked calmly: "Xiu'er, what are you going to do in such a hurry?"
"Sir, Miss fell down, please go to Madam for some medicine."
Gu Quan said, "Go ahead." He didn't show the slightest concern, as if the one who was injured was not his daughter.
But Fu Xie's heart trembled after hearing this, and he paid special attention to it. Xianting fell, and he didn't know whether it was serious.
