Litchi spring warm Xijiang

Disappointed, but she did not argue, just followed Gu Zezhi forward.She was a little curious about Gu Zezhi in her heart.In the past, she was only said to be a domineering girl, but she never expected to be so gentle and kind.

The breeze before noon is the warmest, carrying the faint fragrance of flowers and grass in the air.

Song Shui Yiyi, the river becomes a street.The soft tone of babbling is faintly heard in the distance, it should be the rare spring stage in this old street.

The sun is like a stumbling alcoholic, smearing golden warm light in every corner of this deep alley.

Chapter Six

That day, the two of them ate the black rice highly praised by Gu Zezhi, but in fact it was just fragrant and delicious, and there was no such thing as "a delicacy that even the emperor could not find".But Wanliang didn't refute, because she knew in her heart that the things she likes to eat and the places she likes to go to may not all be because they are delicious or beautiful-those delicious and beautiful things will eventually be tired of one day .If you like something for a long time, it must be because there is a very rare memory there, and memory is something that is not out of date.

The spring theater set up in the old alley was very crude, but the two still wanted to see it, but it would only open in the evening, so they had to give up and took the boat back early.

When he was about to arrive at Bieye, Gu Zezhi suddenly said: "I know that there is nothing interesting here, I just miss the old days. Thank you for coming here with me, and listening to my random sighs."

Wan Liang opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say to answer.She was not good at words, so now she could only smile and shake her head.

Gu Zezhi didn't care, just called Chun to take her to Fengshui Pavilion to rest, then ordered Xia Shen to settle the white cat, and then went into his yard.

She trotted all the way into the room without even brushing off the dust on her clothes.She came to a red lacquered wood cabinet, rummaged through it, and finally found a carved sandalwood box.She opened the box, and inside there were only a pair of suet white jade bracelets carved with begonias and a piece of paper.These are all relics of Gu Zezhi's mother.

She unfolded the piece of paper carefully, only to see that it was written in the lower letters of the hairpin flower: "Your heart is like a mirror, and you will not be greeted."

At this time, Gu Zezhi suddenly felt like a needle had been stuck in his lungs, and it hurt even to breathe.

"Since when did I become such a person..." She stared at the note with wide eyes, and murmured in a low voice, "The heart is bitter and the mouth is sweet, the tricks are exhausted, and the only thing is profit..."

She suddenly put the note on the table behind her back, raised her head and sighed.

Gu Zezhi went to Shenhuai Lane today, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar low-walled courtyard along the way, the past came to his mind, and his heart felt indescribable pain.But she always smiled, greeted the old man with a smile, ate the familiar black rice with a smile, and looked at the spring stage that had not changed through the years, as if it was time to laugh at this time——she also I have always thought so, because almost everyone in the world who is like her will do the same.

But in that place—the place where her youthful dreams were hidden, she suddenly felt that her mother was actually watching her—everything she did.Gu Zezhi who always smiles when meeting everyone; Gu Zezhi who talks nonsense when he sees people; Gu Zezhi who can exchange terms with the most contemptuous Mrs. Gu for the land lease he wants, and even tramples on others.

During these years, I don't know what has changed, many years of subtle influence or a moment of rebirth, in short, it has deviated from the original intention very far.

But he couldn't turn back—and didn't want to.If you finally want to embark on your own mother's old path, it's better to be like this all the time. Even if you are hurting and tired, you will at least get what you want, and at least you won't let others bully you.

Gu Zezhi spread the note carefully, opened the lid of the box and put the note in, and put the box in the cabinet of agarwood.

"Maybe from now on, it will be put on the shelf forever." She smiled slightly, and gently closed the cabinet door.

Xia Shen outside the door saw that she was bored in the room for a long time and would not come out, so he called her a few times.

Gu Zezhi lowered his eyes, raised the corners of his lips deeply, and walked towards the door with his head slightly raised.

"What are you calling me for?" Gu Zezhi asked with a smile.

Seeing her come out, Xia Shen breathed a sigh of relief: "I am just afraid that you will be bored in the room. Also, Miss Wanliang wants to go to the study to get some books and ask if you agree."

"Then there's no need to ask," Gu Zezhi sneered, "It happens that I'm fine, so I'll go with her."

Gu Zezhi said, then walked to the study.Maybe it's because I'm used to intrigue in the past, but the life in this other industry is really a bit like "stealing half a day's leisure", doing everything is fun, even if you don't do anything, it is considered leisure.

Wan Liang saw Gu Zezhi coming along from a distance, so she stepped forward to meet her.

"Why is Ms. Gu here?" Wan Liang asked with a smile.

"Yesterday, you just said you called me Zezhi, can you forget it so soon?" Gu Zezhi glared at her feigning anger.

"Zezhi." Wan Liang curled her lips and called softly.

"That's it. I happened to be idle, and I heard Xia Shen say that you were going to the study, so I followed along." Gu Zezhi started to walk towards the man under the shade of the big silk tree. Go to the study.

"This collection of books," Wan Liang stretched out her hand and gently stroked the books lined up, "is quite a lot. I thought there wouldn't be too many books since there is no owner living in this place."

Gu Zezhi replied to her: "These books were all purchased by my mother, and the book list was almost displayed by herself. Some books are already old, and I am afraid that there are not many books beside them."

Wanliang nodded slightly, reached out and took out a copy of "The Complete Works of Lu Fangweng", flipped through it casually, and only stopped on one page: "The small building listens to the spring rain all night, and the deep alley sells apricot flowers in the Ming Dynasty... I used to, but I don't know how much I like it." This sentence!"

"This line of poetry can be regarded as the soul of Jiangnan through the ages." Gu Zezhi nodded approvingly, and then said again, "But this line is not my favorite in this line. Grass, Qingchuang, Xiruxi and tea' is the most wonderful meaning."

"Short papers are slanted to make grass, and the clear window is full of fine milk to share tea..." Wan Liang read with a chuckle, and closed the pages of the book with her backhand. "Such a leisurely and elegant taste is extremely rare."

"But Lu You couldn't do it in the end—maybe he did it for a while, but he still didn't have the mood in the end. It's always easy to think about it, but it's just a bad fate."

Wan Liang lowered her eyes and stopped answering.She took a copy of "Worshiping the Moon Court" from the bookshelf, then went to the carved li shell window, and read it carefully.

Seeing her like this, Gu Zezhi took out a small miscellaneous diary, and imitated her as she sat by the window, and raised her hand to pour two cups of tea from the pot.

The squashed shells on the Li shell window are glowing with light and colorful colors, and the warm glow outside is faintly visible, and it looks very gentle through the fine texture of the shells.Wan Liang raised her eyes slightly from the book, and looked at Gu Zezhi under the light halo. She had peach blossom eyes that were always smiling, and Yuanshan's black eyebrows stretched gently.The gilded peony flowers are embroidered on the white cross-collar jacket, which is as lively as a living thing.

Wanliang suddenly felt that she was liking this kind of gentle life and this kind of gentle treatment very spinelessly.

Because I have never felt it before, I feel that all this is precious.Although it is a sad treasure.

In the next few days, Gu Zezhi spent a lot of time dealing with the account books, sometimes reading books and feeding the cat, while Wanliang often composed music and lyrics, and sometimes went to the study for a long time.Most of the day, the two are always together, although they are busy with their own.With nothing to do, Gu Zezhi would take her to think about new snacks, or talk about ancient and modern poetry and prose.

That's how life goes.

But at this time, some disappointing people came to visit, such as Gu Zezhi's brother, Gu Yangling.

Gu Zezhi's first reaction when he heard the news was to immediately ask Xia Shen to order his servants, don't let Wanliang know about this.

"If Wanliang doesn't know, this matter will be much easier to handle," Gu Zezhi frowned slightly and said to Xia Shen, "You go ask Gu Yangling to wait in the flower hall, and serve you with good tea and fruit. I'd rather Let's see, what tricks he's playing again!"

After saying that, Gu Zezhi got up and straightened the hem of her skirt, and walked to the flower hall by herself.As soon as she arrived at the flower hall, she saw Gu Yangling's white jade crown belt, splendid clothes, and the appearance of a romantic and handsome young man.

Gu Zezhi raised the corners of his mouth, bowed to him, and said: "Why did my brother come to Bieye today, did you go home before returning from the capital?"

Gu Yangling laughed, and said, "Sister, you asked me two questions as soon as you came up, but how would you answer me?"

"Forget it," Gu Zezhi lowered his eyes and smiled, "Then brother, just explain why you are here."

"The reason for coming... Will Zezhi not understand? You are not allowed to join forces with your mother to be hostile to me." Gu Yangling said with a light smile.

"Brother," Gu Zezhi sighed, "Not to mention how you feel about that girl, I'll just assume that you really like her, don't you worry about her at all?"

"What's there to worry about?" Gu Yangling frowned.

"If it wasn't for your mother's interference, why do you think you came here to find her?"

"I know that my mother did it, but she didn't do it for my own good? That Wanliang girl is known for being kind and gentle, so how can she really blame me?" Gu Yangling said nonchalantly.

After hearing this, Gu Zezhi suddenly felt sullen in his heart, and replied lightly: "Mother is doing it for your own good, but she really hurt Miss Wanliang. Why can't she blame you? You really think you are a A great person?"

Gu Yang
