Litchi spring warm Xijiang

And doesn't care if she treats others the same way.

She knew it would look mean, but she couldn't control it, she couldn't escape.Just like the root buds in the crevices of ice and snow rocks, even if there is a little sunshine to help them, they will grow uncontrollably.

If Gu Zezhi didn't mention this matter, she would even wish to stay here for a longer period of time.But to go.

Wanliang sighed softly, turned around and went to the room, rummaging through boxes and chests to find things.Leave her something, she thought.

She dug out a gilded white jade peony head from a small ebony box. The golden jade peonies on the head were in full bloom, looking rich and elegant.It was a good thing Celan brought from the palace, and he gave it to Wan Liang, but Wan Liang herself had never worn it before, and felt that she couldn't bear such an expensive item.Now that I have seen Gu Zezhi, I know what a real noble girl is, and I will not be buried if I give her this head of gold.

She put the tin head in the ebony box properly, before turning her head to pack other things.

She turned sideways and looked at the warm glow filling the window lattice, the midsummer sun looked very bright.When I first came here, it was still the season of spring, and the air was full of the smell of moist soil from the south of the Yangtze River. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two months.

In fact, it is not short, it is almost a whole spring of warmth.

Wanliang packed her bags, it was already dusk.The setting sun obliquely filled the window lattice, and the shadow of a small gray sparrow flashed on the li shell window.

She sighed slightly, and turned to the inner room to change clothes.She didn't know what to wear when she said goodbye, and suddenly remembered that Gu Zezhi liked those vivid colors, so she picked out a skirt with lake blue embroidered with white cranes, and then found a dress that she had never worn from the closet. The concubine of Xiang wears a jacket in color.

Wan Liang stared at herself in front of the bronze mirror, always feeling indescribably unaccustomed.She took out the ebony box with the peony head from the small box in front of the dressing table, adjusted the hem of the skirt, and walked out of the yard towards Gu Zezhi's yard.

As soon as she entered the Zhilan Courtyard, she saw Gu Zezhi lying on her side on the imperial concubine's couch under the sun. The light green clothes were softly attached to her side, outlining her graceful waistline, making her flesh and bones even more even.Her ink-splashed black hair glistened in the sun, like newly polished black crystal.

"Zezhi?" Wanliang asked softly, afraid that she was falling asleep.

Gu Zezhi immediately turned her head, and Wan Liang saw that she was holding a book in her hand.Gu Zezhi stood up on his elbows, grinning and said to Wanliang, "Why are you here?"

"I..." Wan Liang paused and said, "I'm here to say goodbye."

"Farewell?" Gu Zezhi closed the book with his backhand, slumped and stood up, "So soon?"

Wanliang stood where she was, and nodded slightly.

"Forget it," Gu Zezhi sighed lightly, and said, "Then we still have to stay for a meal, and treat it as practice wine."

Wan Liang looked intently at the person in front of her, and finally nodded slightly.

Gu Zezhi turned around and wanted to tell the kitchen to prepare meals, but Wanliang stopped her with her hand: "I don't know if we can meet again after this...I have something to give you."

As Wanliang spoke, she raised one hand and handed the ebony box to her: "Be careful, just treat it as a parting gift."

"Open it now?" Gu Zezhi asked with a light smile.

Wan Liang nodded slightly.Gu Zezhi raised his finger and pressed the hidden button on the box, and when he saw the white jade gilt peony head, he grinned and said, "It's really beautiful!"

Seeing that she likes it, Wan Liang also feels happy in her heart.

Gu Zezhi had a smile on his eyes and brows: "Thank you, then I won't refuse. I also prepared this parting gift, but I can only give it to you after dinner."

Wan Liang smiled and nodded.It would be even better if it wasn't a parting gift, she thought.

The dinner table was quickly set.

"It turns out that she has already planned to send me away," Wan Liang thought while looking at the table full of Sheng Jian, "Actually, I am the only one who feels reluctant."

But she still smiled lightly, looking extraordinarily gentle and desolate under the yingying candlelight.

"How about some lychee brewing?" Gu Zezhi looked at Wan Liang with her bright peach blossom eyes and said, "It's freshly brewed, and the alcohol is very weak."

Wanliang shook her head and said, "No, I don't like to drink, and I don't know how to. I have to go back tonight, where can I drink?"

After hearing this, Gu Zezhi waved his hand to ask the maid beside him to remove the pot of wine, and then said to Xia Shen: "It's getting dark today, just bring the gift."

Xia Shen responded, then turned around and went to a sandalwood box.

Gu Zezhi took it, then handed it to Wanliang and said, "Let's open it now, this thing will look different at night."

After hearing this, Wanliang opened the box.When he saw it, he was amazed.

It was a pendant carved from luminous stone, and a Chongming bird with wings spread was carved on it. Although the pendant is not big, the divine bird has plump wings and well-defined muscles and bones.When the candles are extinguished, only the Chongming Bird and the bright moon in the sky are shining in the vast night.

"It's not a vulgar thing." Wan Liang sighed.

Gu Zezhi raised his chin with one hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "So it matches you very well. If I wear this instead, it will be a joke."

Wanliang shook her head in disapproval: "How could that be?"

Gu Zezhi smiled and stood up, walked to Wan Liang's side, and spread a hand in front of her: "Shall I put it on for you?"

Wan Liang looked up in shock, Gu Zezhi was smiling, with dimples on her cheeks, Wan Liang nodded in a strange way.

Gu Zezhi stretched out his hand to take the pendant, put his arms around Wanliang's chest, and put them back from the side, his soft catkin hands lightly touched Wanliang's neck.Wan Liang sat on the wooden chair, not daring to move, but felt that her cheeks were hot.She herself didn't know why, she was a little close to those young masters before, and she wouldn't be like this.She still felt happy in the end, and he didn't think about the rest.

"Very beautiful." Gu Zezhi looked down at Wan Liang, satisfied.

After hearing this, Wanliang felt a kind of unexplainable joy in her heart.She raised her head and said to Gu Zezhi, "Thank you."

"Why are you being polite, we've been together for so long, why bother to say these things?" Gu Zezhi smiled lightly, "Besides, didn't you also give me a gift, I like it too."

Wanliang shook her head and said nothing.

Gu Zezhi looked up at the night, and said to Wanliang again: "Are you sure you want to leave tonight? It's getting late."

After hearing this, Wan Liang hesitated.But in the end she still shook her head: "No. Let's just go tonight, and practice all the wine."

After hearing this, Gu Zezhi didn't say much, so she ordered Chun to help her call the guy with the luggage, and then she turned her head and said to Wanliang, "Then let's go, I'll take you to the door."

So the two stood side by side under the moonlight in the sky, walking like a carriage.

Wan Liang peeked at the people beside her in the dark night.Her profile is as sharp as a knife, delicate but with a touch of noble edge.Even under the faint moonlight, her eyes are extraordinarily moving.The crimson lips are slightly hooked, the pear dimples on the cheeks are shallow, and the moonlight is shining on them, like lychee stuffed that I haven't drunk tonight.

Wan Liang turned her eyes back, looking at this already familiar place, this already familiar time.

She lowered her head slowly, her mind was inextricably entangled.

You can't forget, Gu Zezhi.You can't forget the days I walked with you.

Chapter eight

Wanliang went to Feihualou that night, even though it was late at night, the embroidered door pavilion was still filled with melodious music and bright lights.

Wanliang just lowered her head and walked in, but was blocked by a hand stretched out by Hengkong.In front of her was a woman in a crimson gilt dress. She looked like the Luoshen walking out of the painting, and her color was more beautiful than that of Odan, making it unforgettable.

"I haven't seen you back for so many days, but I have to wait," she frowned slightly, and asked, "I asked you about it, do you agree or not?"

Wanliang sighed, and said in a warm voice: "Sister Wodan, don't force me. My sister also knows that I am not good at dealing with people. The imperial city is indeed noble, but it is like facing an abyss. I am afraid it is... "

The woman named Wodan turned her head and sighed deeply: "You think I'm willing to persecute you? It's just...the prefect of Jiangcheng personally nominated your name and reported it!"

"Reported?" Wan Liang raised her head abruptly, her pupils dilated slightly, "But I... I rejected it before..."

"If it's even useful for you to refuse, then he doesn't have to be a prefect." Zheng Wodan blew his eyes lightly, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, "Will they take people like us seriously?"

Wanliang lowered her head even lower, she didn't say anything more, but continued to walk inside.

Seeing her like this, Zheng Wodan raised Yuanshan's black eyebrows, and asked tentatively, "What's on your mind today? Did you suffer wrong in the Gu residence recently?"

Wanliang raised her head in surprise, and smiled again: "Sure enough, everyone said that my sister is the Jieyuhua of Feihualou, but she saw something wrong with me at a glance. Actually it's nothing, it's just like waking up from a dream."

"Awakening like a dream?" Zheng Wodan looked at her amusedly, "You won't like that Gu Yangling, will you? This is not a good thing."

"Why," she shook her head lightly, "it's more complicated than that. I'm just not as open-minded as Miss Ottan. I really can't tell whether this person is good or bad, true or false. .”

"What? Do you think you've been cheated?" Zheng Wodan asked, turning his head.

"Where is it... I just, I just lament that I am too easily moved, even if it is only a small kind of kindness, I will cherish it deeply." Wan Liang said casually in a self-deprecating tone.

"Aren't they all the same?"
