After Gan Qi gave her orders, two disciples soon came up to take Yi Qing away.It was the first time Su Wan encountered such a thing, and she lost her heart.In comparison, Yiqing was much calmer.

Su Wan didn't want Yiqing to comfort herself in turn, so she took the initiative to follow.Seeing her following, the two disciples knew that she had something to say to Yiqing, so they stopped.Yiqing turned her head and gave Su Wan a comforting look, Su Wan froze, opened her mouth and couldn't speak.

"I... I believe you." Su Wan pondered for a long time, but only these three words came out of her mouth, she couldn't think of anything else, she was angry and annoyed.

When Yiqing heard what Su Wan said, she opened her eyes wide in surprise, and then quickly recovered her calm expression, even showing a rare tenderness: "I know."

Before Su Wan could answer, Yiqing turned her head and was led away. Su Wan could only watch the corner where she disappeared, and then she was also brought back to Qinshui Pavilion.

It was already full light when I went back, and Su Wan counted the days, only to find that it had been three or four months since she was reborn.Midsummer has long passed, and she didn't even have time to catch the tail of late autumn. Soon the winter solstice will come, and she doesn't know that people here can't survive the winter. In her hometown, there is a saying "the winter solstice is a big New Year".

During winter solstice reunion with other people's family, she can only be locked up in a mansion alone.In the past, she would have moved in without hesitation as a house girl, and would have stayed on the bed for a whole day without moving.Now she is not satisfied, and always feels that no matter where she looks, she is not pleasing to the eye.

This is not her home, there is no home for her.The ancients are right, "every festive season misses relatives", the traditional cultural concept of festivals is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is unforgettable.

Why do you suddenly start to appreciate ancient poetry? !

Withdrawing her thoughts, Su Wan sat down on the bench by the veranda, and the servants came and went past her, no one stopped to ask her why she was alone, maybe they were really so busy.If Yiqing was here... Su Wan smiled, if she was there, she would just stand quietly by the side, but this gave Su Wan the greatest sense of security.

Qinshui Pavilion is actually not that big. The small space and compact layout can give people a sense of security. At this moment, Su Wan stays here, but she can't wait to seal up the whole courtyard.

This place terrified her from the inside out, and she wanted to escape physically, mentally and physically. She even had an idea that she would rather be locked up with Yiqing now, even if it was the opposite cell, it would be more reassuring than here.

It's ridiculous to say that Su Wan never felt afraid when she was reborn in this strange world.The relationship between her and Yiqing is not good, it can only be said that a dynamic balance has been maintained.While maintaining a certain distance, they will not be too alienated. Once the balance is broken, one of them will take the initiative to make concessions and develop together towards the direction of restoring a stable relationship.

This way of getting along made Su Wan feel very comfortable, but she still didn't have any real friends. While feeling lonely, she gradually got used to sharing everything with Yiqing, such as writing a book.

Thinking of this, Su Wan realized that she could write a book to pass the time.Su Wan got up and walked to the study room, and took out a stack of rice paper from the hidden compartment of the cabinet.She started writing this draft at Su Feng's house a few days ago, and she was too busy during the preparation for the competition, so she put it down temporarily.

After picking up the pen and starting to write, the anxiety in her heart after Yiqing left finally eased a bit.

Affected by her emotions, she changed the style of writing in the second book, and the plot was abusive and thunderous.The consequence of abandoning the outline was that many places could not be connected. Su Wan was forced to stop and reorganize the outline. At this time, a maid came in and was about to light the lamp in the study.

"Don't light it up." Su Wan stopped her, "I'll go back after I clean up, so there's no need to waste the wax."

The servant girl's eyes seemed to reveal contempt. As the heroine who has been disliked the most times (once a day) in history, Su Wan should have gotten used to it long ago, but she didn't this time.

"What do you mean?" Su Wan stared straight into the other person's eyes, so frightened that she quickly lowered her head, thinking that she had offended her by not answering Su Wan's order, and timidly said: "I heard this, my servant now Just go out."

After she finished speaking, she was about to leave in a panic, but Su Wan put the manuscript on the table and stopped her: "Wait a minute." She walked around the table and walked up to her for a closer look. She felt that this person looked familiar. .

"You are from my father's house, right?" When buying in Qinshui Pavilion, Su Feng was worried that Su Wan was not used to living here, so he sent some of the servants who took care of her here, almost patchwork, Only in one day can we prepare the current logistics team of a dozen or 20 people.

Su Wan frowned, she didn't stay in Su Feng's house for a long time, but she always treated these servants very well and never beat or scolded them.Coupled with Su Feng's original attitude towards seniors, many people don't take her seriously.In the past, with Yiqing standing in front of her, she couldn't see these things, but now it seems that her heart is a little too soft.

The servant girl nodded her head when she heard the words, lest she might make too many mistakes.She kept looking down at the ground, her eyes glistening with tears, her hands clasped together until her fingertips turned white.Ordinary people may think that she is innocent and pitiful, but as Su Wan is a master lotus planter, she can see through with the naked eye at this level. It can only be said that she is really lifeless. Even a maid with such a low level clearly looks down on Su Wan. Strength.

"Then did they teach you to knock first when entering my room?" Su Wan narrowed her eyes and smiled kindly, but the maid couldn't hear the irony in her tone.

Immediately, she knelt down and kowtowed heavily: "I don't know, I won't do it again next time, Miss, please forgive me this time."

Su Wan walked a few steps towards the window, and when she saw the figure outside the tulle, she chuckled, ignored the servants who were eavesdropping, and turned to stare at the maid who was kneeling on the ground: "Look at you, I still have nothing Said, you just kneel down and admit your mistake, how can I answer this?"

Resisting Su Wan's yin and yang strangeness, the servant girl bit her head and said: "Young lady can say whatever she wants, and servants like servants have no reason to refute."

Su Wan waved her hand: "Okay, I'm so domineering and dictatorial. I'm not an unreasonable person, so I will punish you to go outside..." She paused, her thoughts wandered to other places, and she asked, " Can you play any tunes?"

"I don't understand music theory, I only know a few nursery rhymes." She wanted to ask Su Wan what she needed to do, but felt that it was not her business to ask, so she shut her mouth wisely.

"Nursery rhymes, nursery rhymes are also fine, just go outside and knock on this door, knocking according to the rhythm of nursery rhymes, and you can leave after knocking a hundred times."

The maid was stunned for a moment, then stood up in a panic, rushing to carry out her strange punishment before Su Wan repented, and soon Su Wan heard rhythmic knocking on the door outside.The maid was indeed not lying, her sense of rhythm was really not that good, anyway, Su Wan couldn't hear the tune, she could only figure out that it was similar to the tune of "Two Tigers".

While tidying up, Su Wan recalled whether what she had done just now had exposed her secrets. On the one hand, she really wanted to beat these people up.On the other hand, now is an extraordinary period, these people come and go all day long, and it is hard to guarantee that those among them will be bribed, framed and framed.The punishment is a bit ridiculous, but she can only use this old-fashioned method to get the effect of killing chickens and monkeys.

Locking the manuscript in a secret compartment, Su Wan left the study.With her here, other people would not go up to ask the punished maid, so that the effect she expected would not be achieved.

After eating and washing, Su Wan went to bed and rested.What Ganqi meant was that after three days, I would definitely give everyone an explanation. Su Wan hoped that the three-day deadline would pass if she opened her eyes and closed her eyes now.Of course this is impossible, the only thing she can do is to go to bed early.

-----------------

The moon rises, the fisherman's song rises from Yuanting, and the will-o'-the-wisp emerges from the broken tomb.Occasionally, wolves howled from the outskirts of Yeling, and the sharp howling pierced the quiet sky, gloomy and terrifying.

Su Wan, who was hiding under the blanket, kept comforting herself that it was only Liang Qing and Liang Weixiu, father and son singing folk songs.But that level of brainwashing doesn't help as other weird noises follow.

"Damn, I feel like I've slept in the Classic of Mountains and Seas!" Su Wan cursed in a low voice, lifted the quilt and sat up, the answer was the suddenly quiet surroundings.

If this was in her previous life, Su Wan would definitely suspect that the movement just now was a hallucination, but now it's different, her back felt cold on the spot, she hugged her legs nervously, and gasped heavily while clutching her chest.

Oh my god, these things can hear her! ! !

Holding the quilt pitifully, she thought for a while and didn't know who to turn to for help, not to mention that she was still grounded and couldn't even get out the door, so why ask for help?

If conditions permit tomorrow, she must find a portrait of Zhong Kui to guard the house.However, the winter night was so long, Su Wan was worried that she would not be able to survive tonight.Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, suddenly, she thought of a good idea.If she sleeps on Yiqing's bed, those monsters come in to look for her, and if they see no one in the bedroom, will they just leave?

Of course, the most important thing is that even if the monsters knew that she was sleeping on Yiqing's bed, they would not dare to approach the territory belonging to a big monster like Yiqing.

It must be for this reason, Su Wan made the decision immediately, and promised that she was not climbing Yiqing's bed for the purpose of secretly prodding, she had some difficulties.

Getting out of bed and quickly putting on her shoes and cloak, Su Wan walked to the outside room in two or three steps, and behind her was Yiqing who was resting softly.In fact, Yiqing is not much taller than her, and the small bed looks a little rough because of the lack of shelves and bed curtains.After rummaging through to find the neatly folded quilt, Su Wan lay down on it unceremoniously.

As soon as the quilt was wrapped, a strange fragrance came over her face, the same as what Su Wan smelled from Yiqing's clothes last night, quiet and elegant, just like the purple lotus planted in Qinshui Pavilion, Su Wan couldn't help but inhale a few more mouth.Later, she realized that this behavior was a bit abnormal, rubbed her nose annoyed, and forced herself not to think about it.

Yiqing slept on this couch all night, the breath left behind was not strong, but it was enough for her to use for the night.At least after she lay down, the noisy and strange noises were much less, and she could finally rest easy in the second half of the night.

When Su Wan woke up the next day, she felt refreshed, her waist was no longer sore, and her hands were no longer hurting.She was about to go for a walk when Gan Qi found her and brought an extra acquaintance over.

"Mochizuki, why are you here? I just received the letter. You don't come here on horseback, do you?" Su Wan looked at the person in front of her. Her hair was smooth and her clothes were neat, but there was some fresh dirt on her shoes. , but it was obvious that he walked up from the bottom of the mountain, and he obviously had not experienced the dusty days, and his spirit was as high as the peach trees in full bloom outside.

Mochizuki stepped forward to take over the task of making tea, and while pouring tea for Ganqi, she replied: "Miss Gan brought the servants here, and she sent a flying boat, so it was much faster than the carriage journey."

"Yeah, I wondered if Miss Qing wasn't with you? There is no one here to wait on you. It happened that Mr. Su mentioned that you still have some familiar people in Baijiang, so I sent someone to bring them over." Gan Qi After sitting down, he explained.

Su Wan sat down in the armchair beside her, and looked out the door after hearing the words: "Didn't you mean them, why did you see Mochizuki alone?"

Gan Qi shook her head: "I don't know about that." She saw that the master and servant had something to say, so she got up and left.

Su Wan looked at the sun, and although she didn't see anything, she said one more thing: "It's still early, I'll see you off."

Ganqi was not easy to refuse, so Su Wan asked Mochizuki to stay in the small pavilion, and went to deliver Ganqi herself.Su Wan couldn't let go of the guardian god who came to your door, and she said to Gan Qi as soon as she walked out of the small pavilion: "Senior Sister, although I don't really want to trouble you, this matter has troubled me all night, and I really tossed and turned during this period." , I have trouble sleeping and eating, I really don’t know who to turn to to complain about.”

"What's the specific matter, why don't you tell me and listen to see if I can help you." Gan Qi paused and turned to look at Su Wan.

Su Wan sighed softly, and said aggrievedly: "This matter is easy to say, but I'm afraid you will think I'm ignorant and courageous if I tell you."

Gan Qi was taken aback for a moment, and her usual gentle and elegant smile soon crept back to her face, taking up the original position, she shook her head slightly: "But it's okay to say."

"Well, it's like this. When I was sleeping in my room these two nights, I could always hear some strange sounds. Sometimes it was like the roar of a wild animal, and sometimes it was like the sound of the wind. I..." Su Wan didn't give a reply yet. Looking for excuses for his timidity, he heard Ganqi's unstoppable laughter.

Su Wan looked helpless, rubbed her nose, and said, "Is it that funny?"

Gan Qi covered her mouth with one hand, and waved the other hand: "No, you don't know, didn't Qi Xing recruit some new students recently? Then Liang Qing... You should know about his re-entry competition, right?"

Almost everyone knew that Su Wan used small means to run Liang Qing down. Gan Qi learned from Liang Weixiu that Liang Qing went to find Su Wan later, so she guessed that she knew about it.

Su Wan nodded, and Gan Qi continued: "He has received the favor of the seniors, and the other disciples didn't like it, that day..." Gan Qi laughed again, her eyes were full of tears, Su Wan heard the sound and looked at it. In the past, he was stunned with just one glance, and forgot to urge her to speak quickly on the spot.

Gan Qi noticed the look in Su Wan's eyes from the corner of her eyes, and after turning her mind, she continued, "Those who didn't like him yesterday, united and said that there will be another competition, vowing to let Liang Qing lose to them."

Su Wan raised her forehead and said casually, "Wouldn't the competition be about who is the loudest?"

After bursting out laughing, Gan Qi turned her face to the side and adjusted her expression before confirming, "You guessed right."

"No way." Su Wan almost collapsed, God knows how long she was terrified last night!

Not too long actually...but that's no reason to forgive them for being scary!

Gan Qi patted Su Wan's shoulder reassuringly: "Of course they wouldn't say that on the surface, but fortunately someone told me later that they were messing around. I went there and drove them away."

Su Wan looked at Gan Qi with envious eyes, and suddenly felt that she was emitting a dazzling light.It turned out that it wasn't Yiqing's breath that helped her drive away the monsters, but the elder sister of Dongri Xiayun in front of her.Su Wan clutched her chest, let out a breath slowly, and said gratefully: "Senior Sister, thank you so much, I was almost scared to death last night."

Gan Qi coughed lightly, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and humbly said: "These are what I should do." She took Su Wan's right hand and turned her around, facing the direction of Qinshui Pavilion , "Okay, go back quickly, Liuxiang and the others are still waiting for me."

Su Wan sniffed, reluctantly said: "Okay, then go quickly, don't delay the business." After bidding farewell to Gan Qi, Su Wan's heart was still full of joy, and she jumped into the small pavilion.

The bedroom was no longer empty, Su Wan arranged for Mochizuki to take Yiqing's place, and called her to ask about the sales volume of the first book she wrote.As expected, the first part of "Brother Like Jade" sold very poorly.

Mochizuki lowered her head and raised her eyes, peeking at Su Wan's face, and said cautiously: "The owner of the bookstore said... that Miss's writing is not delicate enough, and her plot is not bold enough, but there are some novelties, so it is normal to sell ten or twenty copies."

Su Wan hid in the deep boudoir in Baijiang for a long time, the owner of the bookstore didn't know her identity, and she also took advantage of this convenience, only telling the boss her pen name, and never showing her face directly in the bookstore, so there is a reason for the boss to speak harshly.

She asked Yiqing about her pen name, and at that time she gave Su Wan a suggestion to name it "Fufeng".Su Wan liked it very much when she heard it, and when she asked the reason for this name, Yiqing refused to say anything.

After thinking for a while, Su Wan realized that her mind was not on this, so she stopped worrying about sales.Knowing that Mochizuki had suffered from the boss, she coaxed: "It's not your fault, it's my problem." After taking a small bag of silver, she suddenly stood up and stuffed the money bag into Mochizuki's hand, "Just It's your reward, you've worked hard these days."

Mochizuki said no, Su Wan took a few steps closer and said in a low voice, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, I have something to trouble you for."

Wangyue was originally from Mrs. Liao's side, Su Wan was always polite to her, so she took it with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Miss just said it, there is no such thing as troublesome or not, these are the slaves' duty." Internal affairs."

Su Wan smiled, put down her hand on Mochizuki's wrist, and sat down again: "You are better at judging people than I am, these few days are very critical, I don't want to cause trouble in my own home, you can beat Qinshui Pavilion for me The servants in Li, those who are dishonest should be locked up first, and then dismissed after the matter is resolved."

Mochizuki: "Yes, this servant will definitely get things done and live up to Miss's expectations."

"That's good. I don't have anything to do here. You can do whatever you want." Su Wan waved her hand. She felt that it was more comfortable to stand by her side before. Although the aura was strong, she didn't feel much presence after a long time. .

There are still two days, so bear with it.
