It's night, Qinzhou.

Xianwang mansion.

Gu Lanxi, who came out of the diligence building, was very tired. He looked up at the rising moon, and went to the kitchen.

The kitchen of the palace was taken by a Mammy. Seeing Gu Lanxi coming, she hurried forward and said, "I've seen Mr. Gu. Is Mr. Gu not having dinner yet? The old slave went to get the cook

Gu Lanxi shook his hand, "no, let them have a rest. Can mammy do the following? Take some pickles for the next noodle. "

Mammy rubbed her hands, "Oh, Lord Gu is working hard for the royal family and Qinzhou. Can you only eat noodles?"

Gu Lanxi laughed, "if mammy loves me so much, just add two pieces of meat to the noodles."

Mammy was amused, "Mr. Gu, wait a minute. I'll fry two dishes for you. Although I'm not as good as a cook, I can fry two home dishes."

"Well, please, Mammy."

Gu Lanxi said, then out of the kitchen, standing in the kitchen door to the direction of the glass palace to see.

Because Xianwang has no other family members, the population of Xianwang's residence is not large. In addition, Xianwang and his wife live a simple life without extravagance, so there are not many servants in the new residence. Now most of the people have gone to Beijing with Xianwang and his wife. The whole palace is dark and lifeless.

Gu Lanxi looked at the darkness, and there was an unspeakable loneliness in her heart.

Recently, he has been reflecting on why he wants to stay in Qinzhou. Wang Ye has got rid of the problem and has a more capable assistant. Does that mean he can leave?

Letters from his family came to him, urging him to go home.

Is he going to stay in Qinzhou and settle down?

What should he do?

But I don't know whether it's the night that makes people feel at a loss or because of the unspeakable loneliness in their hearts. Gu Lanxi, who always has a very clear purpose, is confused for a moment.

In this confusion, there is a little strange in the bottom of my heart, carefully curled up.

Shaoqing, Mammy brought the food to the table and went out of the kitchen door, "Mr. Gu, it's so cold. You're so thin and stand outside the door. Don't hurt the wind."

Gu Lanxi took back his sight and walked into the kitchen, "I know."

Mammy was embarrassed and pointed to the table, "according to the truth, these dishes should be put in the dining hall, but there is no one in the dining hall and there is no heater. It's too cold The old slave wants to eat in the kitchen. It's hot, though the kitchen is a little rough. "

"Yes, the kitchen is warm and bothers Mammy." Gu Lanxi's voice was gentle. Sitting at the table, he saw a bowl of rice and two dishes on the table. One was scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts, and the other was sliced pork and cabbage. Although they didn't sell well, they were fragrant.

Gu Lanxi took the chopsticks and ate them.

Mammy accompanied him, racking her brains to find out how to make Gu more comfortable, so she warmed a pot of wine for Gu Lanxi. "It's cold, Mr. Gu. Drink some wine to warm up."

"Good." Gu Lanxi smiles.

Shaoqing, the wine temperature is good, for its pour good, Mammy carefully asked, "Gu adult, food appetite?"

Gu Lanxi raised her head and saw that mammy had been carefully accompanying her. She said with a smile, "Mammy, please sit down. There is no outsider on the left and right. It's just to accompany me."

"Well, yes." Mammy wiped her hands and sat down carefully.

"Mammy's craftsmanship is very good," Gu Lanxi put an egg in her mouth, tasted it carefully, and lowered her eyes. "It's very homely."

Mammy was praised, old face smile bloom, "Gu adult like, old slave will fry what dish?"? It's just for the old man and his two sons. "

Gu Lanxi looked down at the dishes, but his eyes were far away. "I miss home."

"Eh?" Mammy was stunned.

But Gu Lanxi did not speak any more.

Mammy tentatively replied, "it's said that Mr. Gu is the prince of the capital. Otherwise, Mr. Gu would take a leave from the king and go home to have a look?" The voice paused for a moment, as if thinking of something, "Oh, by the way, isn't the Lord entering Beijing? Why don't you go back to the capital together? "

Gu Lanxi said, "it's because the Lord is not here that I want to stay here."

Mammy suddenly realized and felt, "the Lord is a blessed man, accompanied by Mr. Gu. To tell you the truth, not only the old slave, but also the whole royal family have great respect for Mr. Gu. I thought before that, if the old slave has a daughter, he must be sent to serve Mr. Gu, follow Mr. Gu, and be a servant girl. It's a pity that the old slave has only two smelly sons and no daughter. "

Gu Lanxi smiles, but does not answer, takes the warm wine to drink slowly.

The wine stimulates the taste buds on the tongue and gradually warms the whole body as it is swallowed.

But even if it is warm, the heart is still cold, is lonely.

……

After dinner in the kitchen, Gu Lanxi went back to his courtyard.

It's still dark.

But he was used to it.

If people in Beijing know that Gu's legitimate son is treated like this in Qinzhou, they must be frightened.

When Gu Lanxi approached the yard, he was acutely aware that there was someone in the room, and he was alert for a moment.Push open the door, to the dark room cold way, "who? Come out

In a short time, with a touch of fragrance, a well-dressed young woman slowly came out of the room. She was wearing new clothes, wearing the most popular bun, and wearing delicate make-up. Although she was not gorgeous, her features were dignified and beautiful, and she had the green and astringent charm of a girl.

Gu Lanxi recognized that the girl was a servant girl in the palace, and she had courted him many times before.

In other words, in addition to this woman, there are many servant girls who make love to each other. As long as he nods, there is no need for Yingyan.

It's not that he is not close to women, but he is also clean. At least he has to have some feelings when he is in love with women.

"Gu Mr. Gu, it's cold today. Can I stay with you? I will never depend on you. As long as it's morning, I will disappear. " The girl's cheeks were red, her eyes were moist, and she wanted to cry, full of prayer.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I prefer the cold," Gu said politely. "You'd better leave. Don't worry, nothing happened tonight. I have no one here in the future."

Has been euphemistic but firm refusal.

Girl helpless, can only wipe tears to leave.

Gu Lanxi lit the lamp on the table with flint and looked at his room.

His house was not locked at ordinary times, so it was convenient for his servants to come and clean it. There was nothing of value. Except for a few sets of government and civilian clothes, he carried all the money with him, and deposited a large amount of money in the royal treasury. However, he didn't have a large sum of money. Because he had a little money, he was cleaned up by the Lord for disaster relief. If he didn't help, he would make up for the expenses of the palace.

A good young master came to Qinzhou to live a hard life.

The furnishings in the room are all folk crafts of Qinzhou, which he collected with interest. Besides, the most are books.

After washing, Gu Lanxi sat in the cold room, took a book and looked through it, only to find that he was not interested in reading it. He said with a smile, "really, should I leave that girl? Am I old enough to need women? "

With self mockery, he threw down the book and got into the bed.

I was so tired that I went to bed soon.

This sleep, then fell asleep.

Dream, a festive red, everywhere decorated, gongs and drums.

It's getting married.

Gu Lanxi looked down and was surprised because he was wearing the bridegroom's wedding gown. What does that mean? Dream of marriage?
