Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and today will be the Chinese New Year. Mother Zhang and Aunt Qian are very busy. The yard is obviously very tidy, but they just can’t stay idle.
This year, Yu Jinxi only celebrated the New Year in her own courtyard. There was no Gu Qiheng, and there was no old lady. She just closed the door to celebrate her own New Year.
Even so, there were many people in the yard.
There was a charcoal pot burning in the room. Qingti and Bicao were sitting on the carpet cutting window grilles, Qianqian helping them.
Yu Jinxi was sitting on the imperial concubine's couch reading a book. Seeing that Qian Qian was discouraged because she couldn't make a successful cut out of the window grilles, he took the initiative to ask her, "Qian Qian, how does it feel to be an apprentice in the hospital during this time? Is it very hard?"
Hearing this, Qian Qian immediately looked at Yu Jinxi, and then shook her head firmly, "No, I really like going to the medical clinic, and I have learned a lot about herbal medicine during this time."
Yu Jinxi said "Oh" and asked seemingly unintentionally, "Will Xie Yao still come to play with you?"
He nodded lightly, "He knows that I study medicine at the medical center and goes there often. Sometimes he even asks the waiter to bring me food, but he no longer asks about Gu Chengxuan."
Yu Jinxi chuckled lightly, "Gu Chengxuan is just a little loser now. He is Xie Yao's playmate. The Xie family is embarrassed and they ask him what he does?"
After listening to Yu Jinxi's words, Bicao on the side looked at Qianqian and asked with concern, "Qianqian, that Xie Yao treats you so well, does he have other plans?"
"He said I was very cute, cuter than any other sister in his family, so he liked me very much."
Qian Qian added, "He also said that if I feel uncomfortable at Gu's house, I can send someone to tell him, and he will take me to Xie's house."
"Hey, why is he so good?"
Bi Cao deliberately teased her, "Then do you want to go?"
Qian Qian shook her head, "I'm living so well with my godmother, I don't want to go to the Xie family and be a doormat."
Qingti asked in confusion, "Isn't Xie Yao very capable? Will he let you be a doormat?"
"He has a biological sister and a biological brother, so who am I?"
Qian Qian said seriously, "I understand the principle of far away fragrance and near smell."
Hearing her words, Bicao and Qingti looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Bi Cao was relatively close to Qian Qian, and raised his hand to pinch her face, "You little girl, why are you so weird?"
Qian Qian said, "If I were too stupid, you wouldn't like me."
Bi Cao put on a straight face and imitated her serious look, "Nonsense, just for your pretty face, you are just a fool, I like you too!"
Qian Qian pouted, with an unhappy look on her face, "I don't want to be a Han Nier!"
Qingti and Bicao smiled at each other and said quickly, "Yes, yes, you are not Han Ni'er, you are the smartest and cutest."
Qianqian is still angry.
Qingti was about to speak when she suddenly heard a voice, "Why is there so much noise outside? What are you doing?"
Bi Cao also looked outside, but unfortunately she was sitting too low on the carpet and saw nothing.
"I'll go out and take a look!"
As Bi Cao said this, she put down her scissors and stood up, put on her shoes and walked toward the door.
As soon as the door opened, the cold wind rushed straight into her neck. Bi Cao shrank her head and walked out, and saw Zhang's mother standing at the door of the yard.
She walked over and asked, "Mother Zhang, what's wrong?"
Zhang’s mother said, “There are people standing outside!”
"Who is it?" Bi Cao came closer to take a look, her face changed slightly.
"Why is it him?"
Bi Cao looked at Zhang's mother, "Should we tell the lady?"
Mother Zhang glanced behind her and said, "Didn't you just come out when you heard the noise?"
Yu Jinxi must have heard it, but if he didn't hide it, what was the point?
"Then let me tell the lady?"
Mother Zhang hummed and stood guard at the door with a stick.
Bicao came back after a while. When Qingti saw her, she asked, "What happened outside? Why is it so noisy?"
Bi Cao did not answer her, but looked at Yu Jinxi, "Miss, Gu Chengxuan is standing outside. He wants to see you."
Before Yu Jinxi could speak, Qingti said, "He is not a good person. There is definitely no good thing coming to Miss!"
Bi Cao thought so too. Just when she was about to nod, she heard Yu Jinxi say, "I happen to be bored, so it doesn't hurt to meet."
She spoke, and Qingti and Bicao said nothing else. One held a small heater for her, and the other held a large cloak for her. They wrapped her up tightly before letting her go out.
Zhang's mother had just cleaned the yard inside and outside. Qingti and Bicao didn't want Gu Chengxuan to come in, so as not to dirty the yard.
Surrounded by the two of them, Yu Jinxi slowly walked to the door, and Zhang's mother opened the courtyard door at her signal.
Outside the door, Gu Chengxuan was raising his hand and preparing to smash the door.
He was wearing a thin cotton coat, and the cuffs were a little short when he raised his hands. He stood so alone, without a hat, and his ears and the tip of his nose were red from the cold.
During this period, Liu Ruyan was busy scheming against Yu Jinxi, but something happened to Gu Qiheng again. No one cared about him, and there was no Yu Jinxi to take care of him. Even though the Chinese New Year was about to come, he didn't even put on any new clothes. It looked really... Somewhat miserable.
But in Qingti's view, this is the retribution Gu Chengxuan deserves.
Seeing Yu Jinxi appear, Gu Chengxuan kept staring with his eyes, his expression was complicated, but most of it was filled with hatred.
Yu Jinxi looked at him and asked coldly, "You knocked on the door to see me, why didn't you say anything?"
"Gu Qiheng, was it your idea?" Gu Qiheng's eyes suddenly became fierce. He hated Yu Jinxi without saying anything, and he had completely lost his previous respect for Gu Qiheng.
Yu Jinxi frowned, "What are you talking about?"
Gu Chengxuan took a step forward and asked through gritted teeth, "Did you instigate me to be sent to the palace?"
Seeing him approaching Yu Jinxi, Bicao and Qingti quickly protected Yu Jinxi. Even Zhang's mother stood in front of Gu Chengxuan to prevent him from causing trouble.
When Yu Jinxi heard Gu Chengxuan's words, he first made a puzzled expression, then stared at him and suddenly laughed, "Why are you sent to the palace for what? You can't be a guard like this, let alone the prince's companion. Does your father want to send you to the palace?" Are you going to be a eunuch in the palace?"
After saying this, Qingti and Bicao's eyes were full of shock. Even though they knew that Gu Qiheng was nothing, they never expected that he would be so cruel as to send Gu Chengxuan to such a dirty place.
At this time, Gu Chengxuan's face was blue and white, extremely embarrassed, and his eyes were full of hatred.
He pointed at Yu Jinxi and asked sternly, "It's you! You did it, right?"
Yu Jinxi chuckled and said, "Why should I help you enter the palace? If you go to the palace to be a eunuch, if you flatter some noble person and come back to cause trouble for me, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"
"It's not you?" Gu Chengxuan's face froze, full of disbelief.
Yu Jinxi looked at him coldly, "Gu Chengxuan, do you really think I will treat you as well as I did before?"
