"Her daughter did it herself. She doesn't know what status I, the cousin in the next room, have in front of her daughter. If she wants to get angry with me, then just go ahead and get angry. I am only one person. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. She is the one who worries the most. Aren't you afraid that I will fight her to the death?" Gu Shichu said without caring.
But Zhiqiu was startled: "Miss, it's not the end of the world yet, right?"
"Ah, I was just talking casually." Gu Shichu smiled at her.
The master and servant walked to the back mountain. Wanfo Temple is a popular temple and receives many pilgrims every year, so the surrounding scenery is well taken care of. There are many pear and peach trees planted in the back mountain.
It's not spring when peach and pear blossoms are in full bloom, but there are small fruits growing on the trees, the branches and leaves are lush, and everything you see is green, so it's refreshing to look at it.
In ancient times, she had just sat down on a stone bench under a peach tree when her ears suddenly twitched, and a thin sound reached her ears from not far away:
"Mr. Li, this is a purse made by the little girl. There are some soothing spices in it. I heard that you have been studying very hard recently and you are easily restless. Why don't you wear this purse? It can also relieve your reading time. I'm tired, calm down..." A soft and pleasant female voice said with a little shyness.
"Miss Chen, thank you for your kindness. How can Mr. Li make Ms. Chen bother so much? Mr. Li will definitely treasure the girl's thoughts..." This is a male voice that seems to be full of infinite affection.
"Master Li..."
When Gu Shichu heard about the intentional meeting between the man and the woman, he couldn't help but rub his forehead, stood up and whispered to Zhiqiu: "Let's get out of here."
"Why? Miss, we have just arrived here." Zhiqiu asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Gu Shichu pulled her a little further and then said, "Not far away there is a pair of lovers telling each other their feelings. How embarrassing it is for us there."
When Zhiqiu heard this, his eyes immediately widened. He couldn't help but lower his voice and asked curiously: "Miss, who is that? Is he someone we know?"
Gu Shichu chuckled lightly and said, "I don't know. I'm probably a student staying overnight in this temple or a young lady from some family who came to offer incense."
Speaking of this, she thought of the ancient Yao, wasn't it also a match between a poor student and a rich lady?
It's not spring now, so why is everyone so busy courting a mate?
In order not to run into embarrassing things, Gu Shichu simply gave up on going for a walk, took Zhiqiu back to the temple, and read the past life scriptures to the original owner and the original owner's father again.
I didn't plan to stay overnight when I came here, but Gu Shi Yao wanted to be Tang Buqing's benefactor, so she might want to stay the night.
Gu Shichu didn't want to get involved in her matter, so she planned to go back home today, so she went to find Gu Shiyao.
"Is the eldest lady inside?" In ancient times, it was natural to know that people were inside, but didn't you have to ask politely?
"Yes, Third Miss, please wait a moment. I will go and report to the eldest daughter first." In ancient times, Yao's maids had very strict rules, and even in the temple, they had to use the same rules as in the palace.
Gu Shichu waited for a while, and then the maid took her in after Gu Shiyao agreed.
"What does Third Sister want from me?" Gu Shiyao asked impatiently when she saw Gu Shichu. Her eyes were slightly hostile, "I still have to take care of the patients. If there is nothing important, don't do it." Find me."
Gu Shichu didn't care about her attitude and said directly: "Cousin sister, I have offered incense and chanted scriptures to my father. Have you finished your work? I want to go back to my hometown now, otherwise it will be too late to return to the city. ”
"What? Are you going back home now? Don't you want to stay for one night?" Gu Shiyao asked in surprise.
Gu Shichu made a puzzled look and said, "I have accomplished my purpose of coming here. Now it's time to go back home. There's no need to stay overnight, right? Besides, there are still many students living in the temple. Although there are female and male dependents, The rooms are separated, but there will always be some inconvenience, so if you can go back on the same day, you can go back on the same day. Do you want to stay, eldest sister?"
Gu Shiyao suddenly choked. She actually had no reason to come to Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, but she remembered that Gu Shichu met Tang Buqing who was in a coma on the way to Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. She wanted to come and intercept Hu, the future prime minister. This just followed Gu Shichu, so for a while, she really couldn't find an excuse to stay.
But if she didn't stay, wouldn't her efforts today be in vain? After all, Tang Buqing has not woken up yet and has no idea that she is his benefactor. What if she goes back today and Tang Buqing ignores her as his "benefactor"? Then can she still successfully marry him?
No, she can't take this risk! Thinking of this, Gu Shiyao's eyes suddenly became firm. She said to Gu Shichu: "Third sister, it's rare for us sisters to go out of the house. Shouldn't we enjoy this rare leisure time? What if we go back to the house? , we have to be restrained everywhere, do you want to go back home early and be a well-behaved public servant, without even smiling a little more?"
She tried her best to persuade Gu Shichu to stay with her, but Gu Shichu didn't want to help her, so she shook her head firmly and said: "Sister, we can enjoy our free time when we go back home, but we can't bear it in this temple. Less restraint, after all, there are many students, we have to avoid suspicion everywhere, and it is not fun to play, so we might as well go home.
If you are not willing to go back, eldest sister, then I will go back by myself first. "
"No! We came out together, how can we not go back together?" Gu Shichu retorted anxiously. She racked her brains to convince Gu Shichu to stay with her. She also knew that if she stayed to take care of Tang Buqing, it would be impossible. If it is too conspicuous, her mother will definitely notice something, and she can't tell her that she wants to marry Tang Buqing yet. After all, Tang Buqing is just a poor student now and is not worthy of her as a public lady.
Gu Shiyao's eyes rolled over and over again, but she refused to let Gu Shichu go back home first. Gu Shichu became impatient with her, and immediately thought of a way, and directly grabbed her vital part and said hard: " By the way, eldest sister, didn’t you save an unconscious young master when you came here? Is he awake now? I want to see him. If he has any difficulties, I will help him if I can..."
"No!" When Gu Shiyao heard this, her face suddenly changed and she objected out loud. After she finished speaking, she realized that her reaction was too great. Even Gu Shichu looked at her in confusion. She hurriedly showed a fake smile and explained He said, "What I mean is that he hasn't woken up yet, so there's no point in going to see him. Also, if he needs help, I can help him myself, and I don't need you to worry about..."
