The hand holding the fake chest trembled slightly

It was freezing cold.

The soles of the child's shoes were torn, and with every step, some snow seeped in, and the soles of the feet were blistered by the scraping of stones.He saw that the wind and snow had stopped, and the sun came out from behind the clouds, so he hurried out with the freshly washed clothes to dry.

He was short and lean.Both hands were red from the cold and lost pain, and they were trembling slightly, putting their clothes on the hemp rope.The rope was not high, just as high as he could reach on tiptoe.

But his feet were so red and swollen that he couldn't stand on tiptoe.After trying a few times, he still fell down, but he immediately stood up again, patted the snow on his body, picked up another unsoiled clothes and hung it up again, still did not give up.

A white hand rests on his wrist.

"What's your name?"

The man helped him hang up his clothes.The kid immediately picked up the other one in the basket and went about his business, completely ignoring the man's questions.

Why ask for a name?As if my name could determine my fate.

But the man took the initiative to take the clothes in his hand and wanted to help him hang them up. With his help, a few clothes would be hung up immediately.The child thought for a while, then replied weakly: "Gu..."

The man repeated: "Gu?"

"My mother calls me 'Gu'er'."

Look at the name, orphan?

Compared with a servant's child, he has to work harder.But his surname is Yuan, which is the origin of the master and the life of the servant.This situation is too common, there are countless sons of concubines in this world.

The corner of the man's mouth was uncurved, and with a gentle smile in his eyes, he reached out and rubbed Gu'er's head.Gu'er, on the other hand, had a scared expression and closed his eyes tightly. He didn't dare to open his eyes and raise his head until the man moved his hands away to see the man's appearance clearly.He was dressed in plain white clothes, with long black hair hanging down to his waist. He was in his early twenties, but there was no trace of youthful childishness on his delicate face.

"Master, the time has come." A strange man appeared in his yard, and respectfully said to the man in white beside Yuan Gu. "Madam Yuan and Master Yuan are already waiting."

The man in white said coldly: "Then continue to wait." His face was full of displeasure.

Yuan Gu was surprised by the sudden appearance of a stranger at home.Just then a maid ran over: "Hey, why don't you run out of the house! Tell me to find it!" She pushed Yuan Gu and was about to leave.

Yuan Gu looked back again and again, the man in white had already turned to speak to his apprentice.He didn't pay attention to his feet, and when he was walking, he tripped over the steps, and the skin on his forehead was bleeding from the fall.

In a hurry, the servant girl led him directly to the kitchen to find the nearest water source to wash his forehead.Before drying it with a rag, he was led to change clothes again.After leaving the kitchen and letting the wind blow, Yuan Gu couldn't help shivering.

Why let him change this body?Yuan Gu doesn't understand.Until the servant girl led him to the front hall.When he saw his elder brother and his wife, they were all sitting upright with proper demeanor.Very funny.But he didn't dare to laugh, the lady frowned and gave him a disgusted look, and then told him to stand beside her son.

His elder brother didn't even have a straight eye. He squinted at him standing next to him, and smiled inadvertently, as if mocking him for his disheveled forehead, which became the best person to set off himself.

Yuan Gu vaguely guessed that some important person came to the family, so big that he wanted them to treat guests like this.But even if the lord of Qiangyang City came to visit, Yuan Gu did not see Mrs. Yuan like this.

Yuan Gu's older brother, Yuan De, was strictly taught by his mother the Four Books and Five Classics after his father died. He always asked the teacher to teach alone at home. Yuan De had never been to a private school.And Yuan De is also talented, already famous at a young age, Mrs. Yuan is the owner of Jindao Town, but Yuan De is the head of the Yuan Mansion.Therefore, Yuan De sat in the direction of the entrance of the front hall, and there were several small steps to lift his seat to a certain height. He looked like a little emperor.

Mrs. Yuan was sitting at the table on the right side of the stage, and the table opposite her must have been prepared for guests.

Yuan De looked at his mother frequently, and asked with his eyes: Why haven't you come yet?

Mrs. Yuan's answer was: continue to wait.

Yuan Gu didn't dare to look up.What if the madam sees him looking up and says that he is looking at people randomly.

It didn't take long for the guests to arrive.

"I've been waiting for a long time, Mrs. Yuan, Young Master Yuan." A man's voice came from below, and Yuan Gu felt familiar without looking up. It was clearly the voice of the man's apprentice just now.Who is the honored guest whom the lady treats kindly?

"Human Valley Baiqin, I have long admired your son's name."

Sure enough, the man in white appeared.This Taoist priest is really clear and innocent, there is no dust whisk that a Taoist priest should have, only a sense of immortality rushing towards his face.

Human Valley - Baiqin.

white celery.

white celery.

Yuan Gu quietly recited it three times in his heart.remember.

Mrs. Yuan introduced: "This is my son—Yuan De." Then she said to Yuan De: "Why don't you salute Master soon?"

Yuan De stood up and was about to call "Master", but Bai Qin waved his hand to stop talking, he said: "There is no need to stick to the etiquette, the future will be long, and the matter of paying homage to Master Renjiangu can be carefully considered."

Yuan Gu didn't know where the Human Valley was, but the person who could make his brother bow his head must be very powerful!

It seems that Mrs. Yuan didn't mean to introduce herself, and Yuan Gu didn't expect to be noticed, and even hoped that they would forget about herself.Who would have thought that Bai Qin would ask directly, "What's the name of the servant next to you?"

Look, I was asked to set off Yuan De, and this time it was even worse that I was directly treated as a domestic servant.Yuan Gu saluted Bai Qin.Because there is no need to wait for him to speak, Madam Yuan will introduce him soon.

"This? This is the birth of a concubine, who has no relatives and no reason. God fortunately didn't drive them away, and the master stayed in the house after he left."

The answers are the same every time, Yuan Gu is used to it, and he doesn't even frown.After saluting straight to Baiqin, he stood back to his position and looked down at the tip of his shoe slightly.

"Second Young Master?" Bai Qin asked.

Yuan Gu felt a "thump" in his heart, and then said against his will: "It's not... the birth of a lowly maidservant... is also a pariah..."

Madam Yuan gave him a blank look, as if she wanted to blame him for talking to the guests without permission.Fortunately, what he said was "right", Madam Yuan didn't care too much.

Yuan Gu knew that Bai Qin had clearly recognized him, recognized that this was the "little domestic servant" he had just met in the backyard, but he did not expect that it was actually the second son of Yuan Mansion.

Bai Qin smiled, and it was fleeting: "Since you want to join my sect, why don't you let me have a try first?"

Yuan De panicked suddenly, and it was most obvious from Yuan Gu's perspective. His feet shook twice, and he shrank back vaguely. "Can."

Bai Qin stood up and asked slowly, "Which wind is your favorite?"

What is the problem? ? ?

Yuan De was dumbfounded...he never dared to look at his mother.But he heard a tiny voice: "Cool breeze...cool breeze..." Yuan De realized that it was Yuan Gu who was at the side secretly reminding himself.

Cool breeze?Yuan De scolded in his heart: Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!Cool breeze?I'm still hot!

Yuan Gu reminded him for a while, thinking that the one he remembered most clearly was the one his brother disliked very much, so he changed his reminder and said, "Ming...Ming Shufeng..."

Yuan De vaguely remembered something, as if he had learned such a thing, but Liang Feng still didn't remember it.Afraid of asking Bai Qin to wait for a long time, she borrowed the answer and replied: "Ming Shufeng."

As if the answer was correct, Bai Qin smiled with satisfaction.Yuan De thought he had escaped, and was looking for an opportunity to take a long breath.Bai Qin praised: "It turns out that the eldest son has such a heart. It is really rare not to forget the foundation of the country and the foundation of all things because of his wealth."

Only then did Yuan De remember that the Ming Shufeng was the wind from the east at the vernal equinox, and when the Ming Shufeng rose, it was time to start tidying up the frontiers and fields.Because of using this answer, the future master misunderstood me! ! !Yuan De scolded Yuan Gu in his heart, and he must find an opportunity to teach him a lesson later!territory?field?What does that have to do with him?He just wants to be his superior "little emperor".

Yuan Gu never went to a private school, but because he often helped his brother copy books, he would learn something by watching it, and if he didn't understand, he could ask other children.How can a person stop a child from studying?

Bai Qin asked again: "Since this is the case, does the eldest son still know Ming Shufeng's poems, words or related allusions?"

Yuan De's heart turned cold.

He almost couldn't remember what Ming Shufeng was, so he asked him to talk about poetry!

Yuan Gu didn't say anything.Because when Bai Qin asked this question, she left her original position and approached them.Yuan Gu didn't dare to speak, he was afraid of being found out, if this apprenticeship was ruined, he might not know how he and his mother would be tortured.

Bai Qin seemed to see his thoughts, and said: "If you know the answer, Second Young Master, you might as well try it."

Yuan Gu was startled, and looked up at them.

I wanted to pretend to be stupid, but looking at Baiqin's gentle gaze, I couldn't help but say an answer: "Dong, Dongfeng... Thawing, stinging insects... Shi... Zhen... Fish on ice..."

Yuan De suddenly got angry with him and said: "It's Ming Shufeng who asked!"

Isn't this Dongfeng the Ming Shufeng?Do you want to dig out words in a proper way?Then he really has never heard of such a style of poetry and dictionaries.

"Dongfeng... is Ming Shufeng..."

Yuan Gu's voice was always very low, barely able to be heard clearly.Yuan De didn't expect him to refute himself, this was the first time, so he felt very fresh: "Are you talking back?"

"No..." Yuan Gu hurriedly explained.

Madam Yuan's face was a little ugly.Before the two brothers could fight, Bai Qin interrupted them: "This is not good."

The two brothers quickly shut their mouths when they heard him speak.

Bai Qin said seriously: "Second Young Master, it's not right for you to do this."

Yuan Gu has been treated like this a lot.Every guest will always favor Yuan De for various reasons, and he is used to it.But I was still a little sad in my heart, knowing that the way I looked at the other party was so reliable just now, as if I was telling myself: I can't make a mistake in doing things according to my own feelings.

cheated.

Bai Qin continued below: "You should hold your chest up and speak loudly. The eldest son has done a good job in this. You should learn from your brother."

Yuan Gu hid his emotions and saluted again: "Yes. Thank you for your enlightenment, sir."

Madam Yuan didn't think it was too embarrassing, so she hurriedly asked, "When will the dog report to Human Valley?"

Bai Qin replied: "No need, just tell him to go with me. There is one less young master in the house, so I'm afraid it will be a lot deserted..." Madam Yuan also said to herself: "I am also quite reluctant to let him leave the house of."

Bai Qin walked up the small steps, facing Yuan Gu and said: "Go and pack your things, follow me."

There was an instant silence in the hall.

Madam Yuan's face was about to turn green: "Daoist, are you making a mistake?"

Bai Qin didn't turn her head, she just looked at Yuan Gu and asked, "What do you think, Second Young Master?"

Yuan De has been stunned for a long time: "Why!" This roar seemed to make Yuan Gu wake up from a dream: "Yes...why...why it's me..." He kept his head down, not daring to look at Bai Qin .

Bai Qin only replied with one word: "Good boy."

Silenced him.

"Let's go."

"No!!!" Yuan Gu said loudly, "I can't leave! My mother... and my mother..." He left everyone and ran away.

It was deep in the deserted backyard of Yuan Mansion, Yuan Gu's mother was arranged to live there, as if hiding something shady.

A strange feeling arose spontaneously in Yuan Gu's heart.What is the man in white going to do?No matter how you look at it, he is far inferior to his elder brother, but he seems to have decided his choice early on. Could it be that he just wants to take away the clumsy one so that he can show his ability as a teacher.ridiculous……

The mother lay motionless on the bed with her eyes closed.is seriously ill.Yuan Gu held her hand and smiled: "Mother..."

The woman slowly opened her eyes, as if she had to squeeze out a few words to call him even if she didn't have the strength to speak: "Gu'er..."

Yuan Gu smiled happily and said: "Mother, your son is promising. There is an unlucky master who wants me."

He lied because his mother's hand was cold.

"Yuan Gu." Bai Qin appeared behind Yuan Gu.What he said was Yuan Gu's mother's current title.His mother's surname was Gu, but Yuan Gu's name had other meanings.

No matter what kind of suffering the child suffers in the future, the parents will silently guard him behind him. "Gu" means "looking back". As long as he looks back, his parents can tolerate everything about him.

"I'm sorry." At this moment, Yuan Gu could only say this to her son.

Bai Qin stood at the bedside to feel her pulse, shook her head and said, "There is no cure for medicine, it's too late." As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Gu's tears were already streaming down his face.

"Son," she smiled, "don't cry... stupid people have stupid blessings, it seems... a good master..."

The light in her eyes has gradually disappeared, and she couldn't help but clenched Baiqin's hand tightly: "He is very sensible and won't make trouble... no relatives..." Even the wife and young master of the Yuan family can't be called him. loved ones! "Remember! In this life! Never do anything you regret! No one can protect you anymore! No! No..." The voice was almost drowned out.

"It's called 'Yuan...Wu Gu', my son..."

"Sorry……"

……

The tear stains are dry.

Yuan Wugu rubbed his eyes.

Bai Qin led him and walked slowly at the child's pace.

"Why do you like cool breeze?"

Yuan Wugu replied: "...No, I like days when there is no wind but the sky is clear."

Bai Qin seemed to smile, but it was fleeting.

Advisor Yuan Wu: "What about Master..."

"Guangmo."

There is a cloud in ancient books——
