Bring order out of chaos.
Xia Gu was startled for a moment, feeling touched in her heart, but then she felt a little dissatisfied. She looked at Hanzhang and said coquettishly: "Uncle, look at him and he knows how to do riddles."
Hanzhang knew the reason for Gong Mengbi's ambiguity and didn't care about her coquettishness, so he just smiled secretly and said, "Just obey my orders, Lieutenant General."
Gu Xia snorted and returned to her boudoir while shaking her fan.
But after a moment, Hanzhang suddenly looked up and asked uncertainly: "She left again?"
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "Just left."
He and Hanzhang pushed open the door and stood in the courtyard. The night is dark, but there are undercurrents and strange changes.
Gong Mengbi said: "Evil ghosts and demons are causing trouble tonight. Aunt Xia is probably worried about the young master named Jin."
Hanzhang snorted coldly and said: "I think she has been holding back for a whole day without going out to play, and she can't bear the loneliness. What good is that scholar? It would be fine if she had the character of my brother-in-law, but she doesn't. Being frivolous and pretentious is not like a good person.”
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "That's not what you said yesterday."
Hanzhang fell silent, sighed, and said, "I know they can't last long, but I'm afraid she'll be sad. It's so difficult to be in love."
Gong Mengbi said: "With Gu Xia's temperament, I'm afraid she may not have true feelings for him."
Hanzhang wrinkled his nose and said: "The best thing is, it's a romantic relationship, it's easy to get together and break up."
Gong Mengbi couldn't tell whether it was just a matter of getting together and breaking up easily. But from his point of view, these two have to be entangled for a while.
The Jin family's library is not far from where they stay. It is full of flowers and trees, which is quite elegant and interesting.
Jin Wangsun was reading at night in the library, and the boy serving him couldn't stand it any longer, so he urged him to go to sleep.
In the past, Sun Ye, the King of Gold, would not stay up very late. Spending money on gas was a small matter, hurting his eyes was a big deal, and missing tomorrow's teaching was an even bigger deal.
It's just that something happened recently that always made him a little uneasy and unable to concentrate.
He read at night and waited, feeling a little hopeful and a little afraid. His mood was very complicated, and he couldn't quite read the book.
After forcing himself to turn through a few pages of the book, he really couldn't make up his mind, so he had to throw the book on the desk and fold his head at the desk.
"Jin Wangsun, Jin Wangsun, you are finished."
"How could you do such indecent things when your sage books have been read into a dog's belly?"
"Jin Wangsun, please tell her clearly today!"
He kept encouraging himself, but when there was a gentle knock on the door, his eyes immediately lit up.
His body moved before his head, and he almost ran to open the door.
Sure enough, behind the door was a beautiful girl, graceful and graceful, with affectionate eyebrows. The bracelet on her wrist was inlaid with gems and shone slightly.
"Aunt Xia, you're here!"
He behaves at a loss, he loses his progress, he wants to get closer but is afraid, he wants to refuse but is reluctant to let go.
His mind was a mess, but Gu Xia only slowly stretched out a hand. All the sage books, etiquette teachings, fear and hesitation were all left behind by him. His body responded honestly, holding out the hand. He held her in his hand with his long and slender hand, holding her as if hanging a box of jewelry with a silk thread. He invited her into the room with infinite care and treasure.
It rained during the day and was cold at night.
He felt pity and reluctance, gently rubbed her hand, breathed into her cold hand, and said, "Is it windy outside? Why are you so cold?"
He looked out the door, but was blocked by Xiagu. Xiagu looked sideways through the crack in the door. At some point, a white shadow stood in the night, looking at her with a pair of greedy eyes.
Xiagu blocked Jin Wangsun, frowned slightly, and slammed the door shut with her backhand.
A night of silence.
The next day, Jin Wangsun was teaching in the library. Suddenly a group of big men broke in, beat and smashed them, drove all the students out, and punched Jin Wangsun in the face.
Jin Wangsun's eyes were filled with stars, his face immediately became swollen, and his mouth was filled with the smell of blood. He struggled and said, "Who are you? How dare you break into a house and beat people casually in broad daylight?"
A stalwart man in white clothes and a white crown walked out from among the big men. He lowered his head and looked at Jin Wangsun. He reached out and patted his face and said, "Boy, do you know the woman who was resting in your room last night?" Not a human being?"
Jin Wangsun's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately shouted loudly: "That's nonsense, there's no such thing as a woman, how dare you spit on someone!"
When the man in white saw that he didn't recognize him, he couldn't help but get angry. His eyes changed like the eyes of a snake, and said: "I saw it with my own eyes, how dare you deny it? I tell you clearly that that woman is not yours to enjoy. If she comes to you again tonight , you gave this to her to drink."
A medicine bottle suddenly appeared in his hand, and he placed it on the table next to Jin Wangsun.
"If you don't obey, I will not only spread the news of your affair with the demon to all of Gusu, but I will also make you have no peace in this life!"
Jin Wangsun was stunned by his snake eyes and the sudden appearance of the medicine bottle. The big man who grabbed him threw him to the ground and rolled him, and then disappeared into a gust of wind with the man in white.
"Jin Wangsun, I will always keep an eye on you, think about your family, think about your future, think about it carefully."
The voice kept echoing in his ears like a curse. Jin Wangsun was confused and terrified. He looked around the messy library, feeling dizzy. Finally, his eyes fell on the medicine bottle.
Night falls.
Jin Wangsun prepared wine and food, and waited silently in the study as if he was lost.
Soon, there was a knock on the door.
His steps were heavy, as if he were stuck in a quagmire, and every step exhausted his courage and strength.
He opened the door, and outside the door was Gu Xia's worried face. Gu Xia said: "When I came here, I saw that the library seemed to have been smashed. What happened?"
She looked at Jin Wangsun's face. Jin Wangsun quickly lowered his head and turned his face, but she still saw him. She carefully stroked Jin Wangsun's cheek and said, "Were you beaten?"
Jin Wangsun said vaguely: "It's a group of scoundrels who are causing trouble. It's not in the way. Just ask someone to clean it up tomorrow."
Aunt Xia said: "It will be nice if the library is tidied up, but you were hit in the face and you won't be able to get better tomorrow."
She led Jin Wangsun under the lamp, and saw through the light that his face was covered in bruises. He looked ugly and pitiful. She couldn't help but pity and said, "Does it hurt?"
Jin Wangsun held her hand in his and said, "It was painful at first, but it stopped hurting as soon as you told me."
As he spoke, tears filled his eyes for some unknown reason, and he said, "Gu Xia, it's cold at night. Let's have a drink first."
"I'm just really sorry, but I can't keep you here tonight. After you finish this drink, you should leave first. The library was vandalized, and my friend made an appointment to come see me tonight."
He put the wine glass into Aunt Xia's hand and said, "I'll give you a toast."
Jin Wangsun also picked up the wine glass and touched it with Xiagu. Xiagu looked at the wine in her hand, looked at him steadily, and said softly: "Okay."
The two of them raised their glasses and drank together, leaving nothing behind.
Jin Wangsun urged: "Let's go quickly, let's go quickly."
As he spoke, he pushed her out.
Xiagu had no choice but to be pushed out of the door by him. Before she had time to leave, she saw that the library was surrounded by seven or eight men in blue and green clothes. The leader was wearing white clothes and a white crown, and he was covered in moisture. He laughed and said : "You can't leave."
The man in white looked at Jin Wangsun and said, "Boy, you did a good job."
