Rebirth: Mr. Fu will not cancel the engagement this time

The heavy snow lasted for a whole week, and the entire earth was turned into a fairy tale world of ice and snow.

The snowman in the rose garden stood there firmly, not moving at all.

It's okay when it's snowing, but when the snow melts the cold seems to rush up from the soles of your feet.

Except for the one afternoon when she played with the snow for fun, Shuhua never played around again. She rubbed her hands and breathed out. This damn weather was so freezing.

The heavy snow prevented Gu Jinhe from going out, and little Tang Jiashuai did not come back either because the road was blocked by the heavy snow and he could not come back for the time being.

This day is New Year's Day, a holiday for family reunion.

There were a few snowflakes floating in the sky. Gu Jinhe was walking slowly in the Gu residence with an umbrella. The servants who were sweeping snow gave way to him when they met him on the road. After Gu Jinhe's figure disappeared, they came out again and shoveled the snow quickly.

Before she knew it, Gu Jinhe walked to a yard where no one was sweeping the snow. She looked up at the plaque on the wall.

On the plaque are three vigorous and powerful words: Huayangyuan.

In a corner of the courtyard wall, there is a wintersweet that quietly emerges from the wall. The faint fragrance of the wintersweet is clear and cool, as if it is waiting for an old friend to return.

With a "creak!", Gu Jinhe slowly pushed open the courtyard door that had been closed for years. The first thing that caught his eye was the wintersweet tree in the courtyard. The white snow bent its branches. The wintersweet covered by the snow unwillingly broke free from a corner, emitting a faint fragrance.

Except for this wintersweet tree, everything in the yard was covered with snow, and its original appearance could not be seen.

Gu Jinhe walked in step by step, stood in the middle of the yard and looked up at the wintersweet tree. As she got closer, the subtle fragrance of the wintersweet wrapped in the cold wind gently brushed across her face, cold and lonely.

This yard has been uninhabited for many years. Besides the faint cold fragrance, there is also a sense of loneliness and emptiness in the air.

Gu Jinhe opened a room. The room was decorated in a warm and childlike manner. Everything here was carefully prepared.

Gu Jinhe picked up a wooden carved rabbit toy on the bed. It was smooth and warm, without a single burr, and had been carefully polished.

This wooden rabbit is only the size of a fist and looks delicate and small, but judging from the lines of the carving, it seems that the rabbit was made by a young beginner.

Gu Jinhe stared at the rabbit for a long time and finally put it into his coat pocket.

The master bedroom is on the right side of this room. Gu Jinhe stood at the door and lowered her eyes. After a while, she slowly retreated along the way she came.

The footprints left in the yard were soon covered by the snow and gradually disappeared without a trace.

When Gu Jinhe returned, Xu Cheng was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard. Everyone from several families would go to the old lady's courtyard to have lunch at noon today.

Xu Cheng stepped forward and took the umbrella handle from Gu Jinhe's hand and said, "They have already arrived at Qinglan Courtyard."

Gu Jinhe nodded slightly, then tilted his head to look at the suit on Xu Cheng, and said with a curved lip: "This suit suits you very well."

Xu Cheng: "Thank you, Miss."

Xu Cheng looked gentle and refined in his suit. He did not give people a strong sense of oppression. Instead, he was gentle and elegant, like a scholar.

Xu Cheng talked about the security situation of the saplings. Most of the people inside were those that Gu Jinhe had arranged for him to investigate before, and they are all working there now.

Gu Jinhe said to Xu Cheng, "In two days, that man will be released from prison. Tell him to do something for me and I will help him get revenge."

Xu Cheng frowned slightly. This man had a dirty background and had been walking in the gray area for many years. He was imprisoned for three years this time because he was betrayed. When he got out, he would definitely seek revenge.

Knowing Xu Cheng's concerns, Gu Jinhe said, "I know that his enemies are powerful and he can't take revenge at the moment."

Xu Cheng thought for a while and said, "I'll go see this person in person." He wanted to see this person in person before he could feel at ease.

Gu Jinhe did not object, and the two of them walked in silence all the way to Qinglan Courtyard. The old housekeeper was already waiting at the door. When he saw them coming, he smiled and said, "Come in and have a cup of ginger soup to warm yourself up."

Both sides of the hall were already full of people, with only one empty seat left on the left side of the old lady, which was reserved for Gu Jinhe.

Gu Jinhe sat down and someone immediately brought him a cup of ginger tea. The old lady put a hand warmer in Gu Jinhe's hand and said, "It's so cold today, drink it quickly to get rid of the cold."

Gu Jinhe drank half a bowl of ginger tea as she was told, then looked around while holding the hand warmer and found that only Gu Feiwan was not there. It seemed that she was really under house arrest.

Gu Jinhong raised his eyebrows at Gu Jinhe and motioned her to look towards the fifth room.

Gu Jinhe looked past him and towards the fifth room. After a closer look, he discovered that there was a tiny cut on Gu Jinyu's neck. Judging from the wound, it should have been scratched by a girl's fingernail.

Today is New Year's Day and Gu Jinyu cannot go out, so the person who hurt him can only be someone in Gu's house.

The only person who could have hurt him and yet acted as if nothing had happened could only be Gu Feiwan.

As for why Gu Feiwan wanted to hurt his brother, no one knew.

Gu Jinhong winked at her and whispered, "Miaomiao, do you want to go ice skating with your brother?"

Before Gu Jinhe could say anything, Fourth Aunt glared at Gu Jinhong. Why are you skating on the ice in such a cold weather?!

Gu Jinhe is weak and his leg injury has just healed. If he slips, wouldn’t the situation be even more serious?

Gu Jinhe shook his head and said, "I can't skate."

Gu Jinhong insisted: "Can I teach you?"

Gu Jinhe held the hand warmer and said with a curved lip: "I'm afraid of pain."

Gu Jinhong said: "It's okay, Third Brother is here. Even if you fall, I will cushion you and make sure you don't fall."

Gu Jinhe still shook his head: "I'm afraid of the cold."

Ah this?

There is no way to guarantee this. It is impossible for the ice rink not to be cold. Since Gu Jinhe is not going, the topic ends here.

Gu Jinkuan, who was sitting opposite, said, "If Sister Jinhe is afraid of the cold, I happen to have a piece of fine mink fur that can be made into a shawl. I'll give it to Sister Jinhe to keep her warm."

Gu Jinhe raised her eyes to look at Gu Jinkuan, and meeting his gentle gaze, she pursed her lips slightly and said, "Thank you, big brother."

"Tsk!" At this time Gu Jinyu uttered a very low rebuke. Why was he pretending to be a good brother in front of everyone?

No one paid any attention to Gu Jinyu.

Soon the dishes were served, and the old butler poured a glass of wine for everyone. The wine in front of Gu Jinhe was fruit wine, and drinking two glasses would not make him drunk.

The old lady raised her glass and said, "Let's eat." This meant that she didn't want to talk.

At this time of year in previous years, the old lady would ask the people in each room to make a summary, describing what they had done in the past year, what had been done well, and what had not been done well.

This year, perhaps because Gu Jinhe had just returned, the old lady didn’t want her to feel too disappointed, so she canceled the summary.

It is the coldest when the first snow melts. After lunch, Xu Cheng walked with Gu Jinhe for a while holding an umbrella, and then Gu Jinhe suddenly stopped.

Xu Cheng was puzzled. He stopped and waited for Gu Jinhe to speak, but he heard Gu Jinhe say.

"Today is New Year's Day, I'll give you half a day off."

Gu Jinhe tilted his head to look at Xu Cheng's tough profile. "I should have given you a day off, but I don't think you would agree. Since you came to my side, you rarely have the opportunity to talk to the old housekeeper, right?"
