C99

Big Sister Shuang Hua was handsome and confident, her eyes sharp.

He had only swept away the haze that had shrouded his heart these past two days, but he was actually thinking how much better it would be if Shuang Hua was his own sister!

After Shuang Hua was sent away, Gu Mingyan returned to the hut and continued with his reading.

According to what was said before, there would be half a month's rest after this holiday, and a few days after that, there would be all kinds of things, such as sweeping dust and praying for dust, offering sacrifices to the gods, but even though she was the first daughter of the household, she was too lazy to fight with Gu Ziyan over this difficult task. She only wanted to take a few days' rest.

The Madam Liu was still on guard against the Han Courtyard, but Gu Mingyan behaved like a coward. He went to the shop outside of the courtyard to buy some medicine to remove scars, but he did not go out again.

He stayed until night.

Gu Mingyan punctually went to the kitchen to ask for more food. He said that his Highness liked meat, so Madam Liu opened his eyes and asked for more meat, causing Gu Ziyan to laugh.

Yet he did not know that these words had already fallen into Gu Xu's stomach.

That night, Gu Mingyan asked Aunt Zhou to teach him a set of wooden sword and a long rod, and also got a few books on martial arts from His Highness, while he himself found some books in the study room to open his mind and send them over.

Gu Xu came over after eating his fill, and said: "Father said that he will invite Sir over for me."

"Teacher is naturally good, but aside from this, you should also have your own thoughts."

Gu Mingyan patted the pile of books in front of him and looked at him: "Other than the two books that I told you to definitely finish, read all of these yourself. If you like them then read them, if you don't like them then don't read them."

"Should I choose?" Gu Xu's eyes were wide opened, was reading even free?

However, if there is no one to teach you, you will run into a wall. What you need to learn now is to go and touch those walls, and after you clearly see these things, I will teach you some simple things.

Gu Mingyan rubbed his head, then placed his empty chopsticks back into the food box.

Gu Xu didn't seem to understand, but his temper was quite crude. In the past two nights, he had been hammered by Gu Mingyan to walk and rest.

Even though it was unspeakably bitter, it was still much better than cold words.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Gu Mingyan gave him some silver, "Money can make a fool out of itself, if you ask where this silver came from, you can say that it was exchanged with an aunt's item."

"Why?" Gu Xu didn't want to give any of this credit to the malicious aunt.

"That's why they think you can't get into the lobby and treat you like nothing. "Be patient and be patient. Shocking the world in the future is what you should do."

Gu Mingyan taught him with all his heart, so this little brother was willing to listen.

However, she herself had never grown up in such an environment. Her relatives and siblings in her previous life were all able to speak like this and speak like crazy with the patients. Her kin, on the other hand, had hit the nail on the head with their words, which was not pleasant at all.

At most, Gu Mingyan would just rub his head a few more times, which would create a gentle appearance.

But every time he looked at his younger brother's hopeful eyes, Gu Mingyan hoped that his grandmother would come back quickly and take care of her. If not, if Gu Xu still stuck to him like this during the day and exposed himself, what would happen?

"Then how can elder sister teach me martial arts?" Gu Xu struggled out from under her palm.

"Learn by yourself, I don't even know how to swim."

Looking at the shock in the eyes, he could only cough twice: "Even if it's not swimming, I don't even know how to hit Tai Chi. If you let me teach you personally, I'm afraid even if you're a prodigy, you'll be taught to be a second fool by me."

Gu Xu did not know whether to laugh or cry, he did not want to be the second fool!

However, with this wooden sword and wooden stick in his hand, even the secret scriptures were eagerly sent over. He actually didn't even have a master!

Seeing that his brother was wronged, Gu Mingyan also awkwardly flipped through the secret scripture.

The ancient pictures were too abstract for her to understand.

When he looked at the words on the manual, they were very big.

As a practitioner of medicine, why did she know these words? Putting them together, they made her unable to understand them.

It seemed that even with her mediocre roots, she would not be able to comprehend it.

"This Martial Arts, it should be fine as long as it doesn't go berserk …" Gu Mingyan carefully held onto the book.

"Qi deviation!" Gu Xu shouted in shock.

"It's better if you start practicing. Big Sister has no choice in this matter."

Gu Mingyan threw the two books to the side, then took out a pen and paper to teach him how to write.

He ignored the disappointment and helplessness in Gu Xu's eyes.

Because she was afraid that Gu Zhiyuan would come visit her some time later, she only slept until the point where she usually woke up before she stopped. She could only use the afternoon as a chance to catch up on her sleep, and it was not a long term solution.

Gu Xu was already twelve. Other than simple worldly wisdom and simple logic, he was practically a blank sheet of paper in terms of knowledge.

It was also when he was growing up, staying up late was not a good choice.

Thinking to this point, Gu Mingyan couldn't come up with a better idea at the moment.

Just as she was meditating after her afternoon nap, Chun Ying had already walked over and whispered to her, "Miss Zi Yan is at the door. She said that she will be out with her friends from the academy tomorrow and will bring you along with her."

"Just say that I'm not feeling well …"

"Elder sister, you can't refuse." She was dressed in white robes, but when she turned into snow, she looked even more refined. She only said in a low voice, "Those friends are all children of old friends of father and their families are prominent. There is absolutely no reason for them to reject."

Gu Ziyan did not have a smile on his face, it seemed like he had found out about a lot of things together with Madam Liu, and did not want to keep up the act.

Closing the book, Gu Mingyan pouted. "Sister Ziyan, that's enough, I'm just a little country girl …"

"Elder sister, how long do you want to pretend?"

Gu Ziyan walked over and interrupted her.

"What does little sister Zi Yan mean by that?"

"Qiu Mei belongs to my mother, but Chun Ying belongs to my grandmother. These two definitely won't tell my father about our true identities, so why should we hide it?"

Laughing lightly as he walked over, Gu Ziyan bent his body slightly to look at Gu Mingyan face to face.

Gu Mingyan looked at the pair of eyes that were filled with smiles. He never expected that Chun Ying was actually the loyal one.

But there was something more important to say.

"I have never hidden anything. This is my true nature."

Gu Mingyan laughed and fell down the pathway, his cold legs seemed to be unsteady.

She could only hold onto the pillar for support as the smile remained on her face. "You, on the other hand, haven't had enough time to remember your original appearance?"

Gu Ziyan frowned in ridicule, as if he did not agree with what Gu Mingyan had just said.

"Then, today, let me see your true nature."

"You'll see."

The hint of gold on his wrist was covered by the red rope, and the killing intent in Gu Mingyan's eyes had completely disappeared without a trace.

However, there was another faint trace of blood on her fingertip. She raised her hand to pull at Gu Ziyan's wrist, and said with a smile: "Whether we fight or not, is my nature."
