The Gu family has been doing business for generations, relying on their connections in the court.
And the Master Bai in front of him has a silent face, but at a glance, you can see the alienation inside. He obviously doesn't mean this. Only his brother, a fool, keeps getting closer.
After all, in the Hanlin, promotion is a matter of time, so there is no need to offend others.
Besides, the person in front of him should have some connection with Shen Shoufu, so his brother couldn't touch him.
It's a pity that Gu Junjiu couldn't understand the meaning in his elder brother's eyes, so he rushed to Gu Zixu and said, "Brother, didn't you just say that you still have some unfinished business?"
Gu Zixu took a deep look at Gu Junjiu, then looked at Bai Yu'an and said, "My Xiaojiu is spoiled by the family. If there is any irregularity, please forgive me, Mr. Bai."
Bai Yu'an heard the meaning of Gu Zixu's words and smiled: "It doesn't matter."
Gu Zixu glanced at Gu Junjiu worriedly, but said goodbye to Bai Yu'an before getting up and going out.
As soon as Gu Zixu left, Gu Junjiu completely let go, and immediately lifted the quilt, revealing his calf tightly wrapped in white cloth, and said pitifully to Bai Yu'an, "The kneecap is broken."
Bai Yu'an was slightly shocked when she saw Gu Junjiu's legs. She didn't expect Gu Junjiu to be so seriously injured.
She looked at Gu Junjiu with the same playful smile as before, thinking that he was not seriously injured.
After letting out a slow breath, Bai Yu'an looked at Gu Junjiu. She wanted to ask him why he jumped from the window, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.
She asked in a low voice: "What did the doctor say?"
Gu Junjiu was only wearing white pajamas. He usually looked like a showy and willful young man, but now he looked a little thin and haggard.
He looked at Bai Yu'an longingly and said in a low tone, "The doctor said my legs are lame in the back."
The cup in his hand swayed slightly, and Bai Yu'an turned to look at Gu Junjiu's knees.
Gu Junjiu's laughing voice came to his ears again: "But it's worth the fall on my leg. At least Mr. Bai came to see me."
He said and smiled again: "I jumped from the window and didn't see Mr. Bai. I still saw Mr. Bai even though his leg was broken."
Bai Yu'an frowned slightly, and then met Gu Junjiu's smiling eyes.
There were emotions in her eyes, she pursed her lips and paused, then she said to Gu Junjiu: "What do you want me to do for you?"
Gu Junjiu was stunned for a moment, the smile in his eyes froze. He paused for a long time before he could react, and asked Bai Yu'an, "What does Mr. Bai mean?"
Bai Yu'an's eyebrows were still very light. She took off her cloak and placed it on the back of the chair behind her. She was still dressed in white lotus flowers, cold and clear, separated by a long distance.
Bai Yu'an looked at Gu Junjiu seriously: "You are what you are today, it is indeed related to me."
"You came to save me that day because you were trying to save my life. You came to see me through the window because you were worried that I was seriously ill."
"I am not a heartless person. If you need me to repay you, I will definitely repay you."
Seeing that Bai Yuan had obviously misunderstood what he meant, Gu Junjiu waved his hands in a panic and said, "That's not what I meant."
He looked at Bai Yu'an blankly: "I have never thought of asking Master Bai for anything in return."
A few strands of hair fell from Gu Junjiu's forehead. The young man's lips were pale and his eyes were panicked. For some reason, Bai Yu'an suddenly remembered the scene when he first met Gu Junjiu that day.
That day, Gu Junjiu, dressed in red, was showing off, head raised, looking at nothing.
The expression on his face couldn't help but relax a little. Bai Yu'an pulled off the belt from his waist and handed it to Gu Junjiu:
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go shopping with you when you look like this."
"Take this pendant. Whenever you need it in the future, ask someone to come to me with this pendant. If I, Bai Yu'an, can help you, I will definitely help you."
That jade pendant was worn by Bai Yu'an since she was a child. It was not considered a good jade. She bought it casually in a jade shop and asked the shopkeeper to have it engraved on it.
But Nayu has been with her for so many years, and it can be regarded as something close to her all year round.
She thought that this time she met Gu Junjiu, and the next time she moved house, she didn't know when she would meet. In short, she owed him a favor, so she had better repay it early.
Gu Junjiu was stunned and took the jade pendant from Bai Yu'an's hand. It was a common jade pendant. It was very smooth and moist to the touch, and had a gentle luster under the light. At a glance, he could tell that it had been worn by him for many years.
Seeing the word Yu'an engraved on the corner of the jade, Gu Junjiu couldn't help but tighten the jade pendant in his hand. Gu Junjiu looked at Bai Yu'an in a daze.
He still has such a fairy face, and he still looks a little warm.
Bai Yu'an had always treated him coldly before and had never been nice to him, but this time she actually came to see him.
Gu Junjiu knew that Bai Yu'an wanted to repay his favor so that they could distance themselves from each other.
But after all, they were related, and he wished he could save Bai Yu'an ten or eight times.
What he wanted to say has been said, and Bai Yu'an can't do anything more if he sits here again.
She stood up from the stool, her eyes fell on Gu Junjiu, and her voice was low: "Although the doctor said that he will be lame in the future, don't believe it all. Take good care of the injury, maybe the leg can be healed."
Bai Yu'an paused and softened his voice: "If you still have time, I'll come see you again."
Gu Junjiu raised his head to face Bai Yuan's face, and when he saw the compassion on that compassionate face, his heart jumped inexplicably.
This kind of Bai Yu'an is really more beautiful than Guanyin Bodhisattva. He is like a banished immortal in heaven, always alienated, but gentle to others.
Gu Junjiu came to his senses, suddenly grinned and screamed, then fell down on the bed, holding his legs as if in great pain.
Bai Yu'an was stunned when she saw Gu Junjiu's sudden movement. She didn't expect that Gu Junjiu would suddenly act like this. She hurriedly took a step forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Junjiu raised his face and looked at Bai Yu'an. The flamboyant young man was well-behaved and weak at the moment: "I moved my leg just now, and it hurts so much now. Master Bai, can you rub it for me?"
Bai Yu'an frowned slightly and looked at Gu Junjiu's face.
She saw him hugging his leg with a pale face, as if he was really in pain.
But Bai Yu'an looked at Gu Junjiu's legs again and thought: "Your legs are full of wounds. If I rub them for you, won't it hurt more?"
Gu Junjiu immediately shook his head: "No, no, my girl rubbed these two ends for me when I hurt them, and they stopped hurting after a while."
Bai Yu'an was dubious: "Then why not ask that girl to come over? After all, she knows what to do."
Gu Junjiu still grinned and said, "That girl happened to go home yesterday."
As he spoke, Gu Junjiu looked at Bai Yu'an pleadingly: "It's been hurting for a day. Master Bai, please rub it for me."
Gu Junjiu's eyes were eager and expectant, as if Bai Yu'an would die of pain if she didn't rub him.
Bai Yu'an naturally didn't believe Gu Junjiu's nonsense about the girl just returning home, but looking at Gu Junjiu's condition now and thinking that he said he would be lame in the future, he still felt compassion.
But after all, she was not a man and would not really rub Gu Junjiu's legs.
And she knew Gu Junjiu's intentions towards her, and she would not leave him with the slightest illusion.
Bai Yu'an sat back on the stool again and said to A Tao behind him: "A Tao, go and rub Mr. Gu."
Gu Junjiu was stunned, and all the servants in the room were called out by him, apparently forgetting A Tao next to Bai Yu'an.
Seeing that A Tao responded and was about to come over to rub his legs, Gu Junjiu quickly put his hands in front of him and said to Bai Yu'an with a bitter face: "Is Mr. Bai really so cruel?"
Bai Yu'an looked at Gu Junjiu: "Gu Junjiu, tell me the truth, is your leg really lame?"
If Gu Junjiu is really in pain, who would rub it would be the same?
Seeing that he was talking to her as if it didn't hurt anymore, Bai Yu'an had reason to suspect that Gu Junjiu had lied.
Gu Junjiu was mute and kept quiet for a long time. Then he lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong and whispered: "It's not a matter of being lame, it just takes a long time to raise..."
After hearing this, Bai Yu'an put the tea cup in his hand on the table next to him, and there was a "snap" sound that made Gu Junjiu's heart tremble.
Bai Yu'an stood up again and said to Gu Junjiu: "If your leg is injured, take good care of it."
She lowered her eyes at him and said, "It's not nice to have a lame leg. When it's time to drink medicine and eat, just listen to what others say, otherwise you'll be harming yourself."
Gu Junjiu listened blankly, and then heard Bai Yu'an's cold voice: "You take good care of her first, I'll leave first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Bai Yuan turn around and walk outside.
Bai Yu'an walked away neatly, her clothes and belt were flowing, as if she were an immortal, leaving behind a faint cold fragrance.
Gu Junjiu became anxious as soon as he saw Bai Yu'an was about to leave. He leaned forward involuntarily, trying to catch the person, but his hand missed and he fell off the bed, half of his body falling to the bottom of the bed.
