Gu Yuanbai looked at the rain curtain in the room, and Chu Wei played the piano with the sound of rain. +++ Popular Tanmei Novels: www.novelhall.com

The six arts of gentleman, ritual, music, shooting, imperialism, book, and number, these six arts are compulsory courses for ancient gentlemen. Gu Yuanbai is a fake gentleman, not as proficient as a pure ancient gentleman.

Chu Wei is an excellent example of a standard ancient gentleman.

Gu Yuanbai does not know the guqin, but it does not affect his appreciation of it. Tian Fusheng made a pot of hot tea, poured him a cup and brought it to him. Gu Yuan held the tea in his hands and tasted the fragrance of the tea. Looking at the rain curtain outside, his nerves relaxed and he narrowed his eyes comfortably.

After a while, a young man in Chu's mansion ran over and reported outside: "Master, someone is coming to visit outside the door. The visitor is the eldest son of Xue's mansion."

Chu Wei stopped playing the piano, and the melodious piano sound stopped abruptly. He raised his head to look at Gu Yuanbai, "Holy, Master Xue should be here."

Gu Yuanbai lazily said, "Let him come in."

After a while, Xue Yuan, holding the birdcage and umbrella, slowly stepped into the eyes of the two people.

Xue Yuan walked very slowly, and his figure was vaguely hidden by the rain curtain. This person was still dressed in black, and Gu Yuanbai sat up and set his eyes on the bird cage in Xue Yuan's hands. When Xue Yuan walked into the corridor, he asked, "Where did the birds come from?"

Xue Yuan approached and placed the bird cage in front of Gu Yuanbai. He also squatted down, opening the cage while laughing casually: "The minister said that he wanted to catch a bird and show him a look, but the cage opened. , This little thing got in."

He stretched his palm into the cage and grabbed the sparrow in his hand. "Look at it, my sage, doesn't it look like the bird that grabbed your jade finger last time?"

Half of the captured bird was exposed out of his palm, and Gu Yuan raised his brow, "Don't all sparrows look the same?"

He raised his hand to touch the bird. The feathers of the sparrow were dark and lustrous, not as glamorous as the precious birds, but it was very comfortable to touch. Xue Yuan's eyes fell on Gu Yuanbai's thumb, which was wearing a white jade finger.

Xue Yuan's mouth twitched, "The Holy Spirit is right, sparrows are the same, who can tell who can tell."

He retracted his eyes and saw Chu Wei, so he politely said, "Master Chu, it's been a long time."

As soon as he saw him, Chu Wei thought of what the chief guard said just now. He really didn't get better with Xue Yuan's senses. When he saw him, he was disgusted from the bottom of his heart and nodded coldly, "Master Xue."

When Gu Yuanbai's fingertips stroked the bird, he would swipe Xue Yuan's hand lightly several times. Xue Yuan suddenly stretched out his hand to hold his fingertips, lifted Gu Yuanbai's hand up, and said with a smile: "Holy, the feather is here, you touched the hand of the minister."

"..." Gu Yuanbai retracted his hand, stopped touching, said blankly, "Xue Qing is interested."

Xue Yuan smiled and threw the sparrow in the cage. Putting it aside, he slowly stood up, and then looked around, naturally showing the master's style, "What about the chessboard?"

Someone on the side listened and moved the board cleverly. Gu Yuanbai still glanced blankly, "Xue Qing and Chu Qing will talk about it."

Xue Yuan was not disappointed either. He stretched out his hand and said politely, "Master Chu, please."

Both Chu Wei and him were seated, and the two of them played Othello separately. They were silent with each other. They looked like they were harmonious, but they were facing each other on the chessboard.

Gu Yuanbai hadn't looked at him for a while, he finally knew why Chang Yuyan would say Xue Jiuyao's chess path resembled him. The chess surface is a battlefield, and the test is the ability of people to line up troops and the overall thinking of the overall situation.

No matter how well this person pretended to be, and no matter how unpredictable he became, his essence was still like a mad dog. From the very beginning, his sharpness was directed at the enemy's gate.

When Gu Yuanbai saw half of it, he knew that Chu Wei was defeated.

Chu Wei's chess path is stable and well-founded. After thinking about three moves in the next step, he has foresight and played chess with Gu Yuanbai. He knows this kind of chess path. But there is no way there are counts, no matter how stable the market is, it will eventually reveal flaws if he keeps hiding.

Gu Yuanbai stood up, walked to the corridor to see the rain, listened to the sound of rain and the sound of chess, closed his eyes.

I don't know how long it has passed, and a burst of warmth approached behind him. Xue Yuan put his coat on Gu Yuanbai's body, then walked aside, "The saint likes to read books, but he also likes to watch the rain."

"It sounds comfortable," Gu Yuanbai was a little tired. "It's good to rest on rainy days."

Xue Yuandao: "Sleepy?"

Gu Yuanbai said, "Xue Qing should watch your bird go."

Xue Yuan smiled, "The Chen's bird is on the Chen himself."

He said this sentence lightly. Gu Yuanbai thought he had heard it wrong, his eyelids twitched, and he turned his head to look at Xue Yuan suspiciously, "What did you say?"

"The bird that the minister brought you to see is in the house," Xue Yuan said. "Look at what it does, you can't even understand it."

"This is very interesting," Gu Yuanbai, "Does Xue Qing want the birds to understand what you are saying? I laughed."

There was a little rain and dew that was blown in by the wind on his forehead hair, and Xue Yuan's voice suddenly softened, "Holy, there is rain outside, don't stand so close."

It's just that his voice is hoarse, and that piece of softness is hidden in the dumb voice with stones, and it can't be found.

Almost at the same time, a warm voice came from behind the two of them. The voice was clear and gentle, and it sounded like a bead and a jade, round and round, "Holy, come in and avoid the rain."

Set a verdict on top of one another.

Xue Yuan smiled imperceptibly, and followed Gu Yuanbai into the room.

The room was dull. When Chu Wei and Xue Yuan were together, neither of them spoke. Fortunately, the rain stopped soon, and it was only half an hour before and after.

Gu Yuanbai had no intention of staying at Chu Wei's house. He was about to leave, but Chu Wei remembered something and hurriedly said, "Holy, wait a minute."

He turned around to get something, Yu Guang glanced at Xue Yuan, and changed his mouth coldly: "Master Xue will go with me to get some warm clothes for the saint?"

Xue Yuan narrowed his eyes and walked forward, and the two disappeared along the corridor to the end of the road.

Gu Yuanbai looked at their backs. The two of them were slender and healthy, and they looked like a good match.

He looked away for a while, but suddenly saw a small head sticking out behind the column on the side. Gu Yuanbai smiled, "Brother Yi, come here."

Chu Xiaosi walked out from behind the pillar with a very ashamed expression. He grasped the corner of his clothes and confessed his mistake to the holy priest: "The child is not a child who is ignorant of etiquette. The child is here to look for you."

Gu Yuanbai said, "Your Nie'er is not here now."

Chu Xiaosi raised his face in confusion, "Where is the child protecting you?"

Gu Yuanbai is always a bit nasty for such a well-behaved and obedient child.

"Your Nie'er," Gu Yuanbai pretended to think for a while, then suddenly smiled deeply, "Brother Yier, I have eaten a very delicious dish before. You shouldn't have eaten it before."

The child swallowed, and said: "Please also the Holy Spirit for advice."

"Put Chu Wei in a frying pan and fry it, then dip it with sauce and chopped green onion," Gu Yuanbai's lips curled up, and his voice was deliberately lowered. "It's delicious, and Xue Yuan next door cried."

Chu Xiaosi was frightened, his face turned white, and sobbed with teardrops, "Has Zihu and Zihu Nizi been eaten?"

"Cough." When the child was really crying, Gu Yuanbai felt guilty again. He touched his nose and was about to jokingly tell the truth when Tian Fusheng next to him started coughing so hard.

Gu Yuanbai paused, then turned around and looked back. Xue Yuan and Chu Wei were standing not far away. One of them had a slightly raised eyebrow, and the other had a complicated complexion. They were both looking at Gu Yuanbai.

Gu Yuanbai asked back, "Why are you standing there? Come here soon."

As soon as Chu Wei walked over, Chu Xiaosi cried and threw himself into his arms. Chu Wei comforted his uncle in a low voice, the original complexity in his heart slowly turned dumbfounding.

Tian Fusheng took the cloak and put it on his shoulders. The Holy Spirit coughed twice. Chu Wei took the fourth uncle and sent the Holy Spirit to the outside of the mansion. The two of them gave the Holy Spirit a salute together, waiting for the Saint to leave. .

On the way, Xue Yuan followed Gu Yuanbai and suddenly said, "Holy, what is greedy and crying for me?"

Gu Yuanbai turned against the general, "What are you doing with me?"

Xue Yuan was still carrying the birdcage in his hand, and he stopped when he heard the words, "That official is here to send him a gift."

"..." The faint irritability in Gu Yuanbai's heart surged. This irritability was inexplicable. Gu Yuanbai pressed it and was about to leave in a big stride. Xue Yuan mutely called him from behind, "Holy."

Gu Yuanbai stopped.

"The jade finger of the sage has been changed," Xue Yuan, "I wonder if the jade finger is still there?"

Gu Yuanbai straightened his lips and said nothing.

"The saint said that he had to satisfy a request of the minister," Xue Yuan said in a low voice, "the minister think about it, if not, just use it now."

"If the sage doesn't like the jade finger, please don't throw it away and return it to the minister. This jade finger is really liked by the minister and can be given to his future daughter-in-law."

"Xue Qing, the whole world belongs to me," Gu Yuan's white words were full and his voice was cold. "My jade finger, even if I don't like it, I have to stay in my private vault to make ashes."

This sentence, just like what he said, "My country is picturesque", and Xue Yuan's heart pounded again.

Gu Yuanbai's words were overbearing and Xue Yuan's heart was right. Does he mean to Xue Yuan?

A gust of wind blew, and the hair twitched the tip of his nose, and Gu Yuanbai coughed in a low voice. The cough was dull, one after another, and there was almost no time for him to calm down.

People around them panicked and called "Shengshang" and "Towelkerchief", but there was no hot water around them, and no one had the courage to go up and support him and pat him on the back.

Xue Yuan sighed and walked forward quickly, pushing away everyone who was in the way. The guards and eunuchs walked in front of Gu Yuanbai step by step, and then took Gu Yuanbai in his arms, let him lean on him, and gently followed his thin, bony back.

Gu Yuanbai grasped his clothes tightly, his fingers were white, his head leaned in front of Xue Yuan, most of his weight was supported by Xue Yuan.

Xue Yuan followed his breath while looking up at the gloomy sky in the distance.

Gu Yuan coughed dizzy and his brain swelled. When his hands were weak and about to fall, Xue Yuan held his hands for him.

"Your body is always so bad."

The tone was low, like a puppy covered in rain.

"But you can't just because you are weak," he, "you always bully me."
