Cai Changting sat in the car for a long time.
When he didn't start the car, it was very cold in the car and his hands were a little stiff.
His longest contact with Gu Qingzhou was when he taught her Japanese.
It was summer.
When she is struggling to learn, she will gently tap the back of her hand with the pen holder. It seems to hurt. She can memorize it.
Cai Changting often recalls her habit.
At the same time, Si Xingpei's yard closed the door, and the whole family began to sit around and eat all kinds of delicious food made by Si Xingpei.
The house was full of laughter.
When they finish the reunion dinner, it will be 8:30 p.m.
The servant brought dumplings again.
"I specially asked my neighbors and said that they should eat dumplings on New Year's Eve and the morning of new year's day. This is the auspicious meaning of reunion." Gu Qingzhou explained to them, "since we celebrate the new year in Taiyuan, we will follow their rules."
All humanity is.
Gu Qingzhou also ate a few.
After eating, they began to set off firecrackers and fireworks.
They need to keep the year old, and there is nothing interesting, so they call ye charming.
The Ye family will have a concert tonight.
The generals first worshipped their ancestors at home and had a reunion dinner. Then they had no entertainment. They went to Ye's house to listen to the opera and watch the new year together.
This is the rule of governor Ye.
When ye was not in the yard, the servant said, "Miss Gu, the play just started. Would you like to listen to it?"
Gu Qingzhou is a little sleepy and wants to wait for his birthday in the early morning. Going out is the best choice. He can also digest a full stomach of delicious food.
She asked the secretary.
"I don't understand Kunqu Opera very well, so I can't go over and have a look," Si said
Er Bao and Qi Shifu are not going. They are knitting a kind of straw sandals with their servants. It is said that they will wear the first incense burning on the morning of the first day of the new year.
This is the rule of Yuecheng. Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingyu can't help.
The couple went to Ye's house.
The adjutant reported to ye dujun, who set up new seats for Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpeng in the flower hall.
When ye dujun was half drunk, he said to Si Xingpei, "the yellow rice wine last time tastes good. Next time, send a batch by plane."
"No problem. I can send someone back tonight. You can drink it at the banquet in the first month." Si Xingdao.
Ye dujun laughed and said it was good.
Then he asked Si Xingpei to go to his study and call the adjutant. He asked the adjutant to go back to Pingcheng to get wine now and try to fill the dinner on the first day of the new year.
"More, better!" Ye dujun smiled.
So he and Si Xingpei left the table temporarily.
Gu Qingzhou was surprised that they didn't come back after they left for a long time.
She had a few words with the sisters Ye Wan and ye Shan, and got up to find Si Xingpeng.
Then she saw another seat, Shiro Hirano with his wife and Cai Changting.
Gu Qingzhou walked over and said to Hirano, "good new year, madam."
Mrs. Hirano's expression was plain. She had an unspeakable indifference to Gu Qingzhou and said, "good Spring Festival."
Shiro Hirano is talking to people around him. When Gu Qingzhou said hello to him for the new year, he didn't hear it.
Gu Qingzhou was so bored that he stood up and left.
She's going to find Si Xingyu.
The whole military governor's house is brightly lit and heavily guarded. In addition to the banquet hall, three steps, one post, five steps and one whistle, and the armed sergeant stood upright.
Cai Changting followed her.
"Canoe?" He shouted her name behind him in a slow voice.
Gu Qingzhou stopped.
Cai Changting smiled and said, "Madam had a quarrel with the general. She's not aimed at you. Don't take it to heart."
He is still Mrs Hirano's most loyal running dog.
Gu Qingzhou said, "well, I know."
She looked at Cai Changting.
The orange light of the street lamp fell on his clothes. He was wearing a black flannel suit, a vest shirt of the same color, and fresh roses in his chest pocket.
He noticed the sight of Gu Qingzhou, picked the flowers and handed them to Gu Qingzhou: "here you are."
Gu Qingzhou said, "you'd better wear it. It's beautifully decorated."
"Well, I still have a gold watch." Cai Changting pulled out the gold watch strap from his clothes pocket. The chain of the gold watch glowed and was more magnificent than roses.
Gu Qingzhou still didn't want it, so she smiled.
Cai Changting suddenly stepped forward and pinned the rose on the comb in her hair.
Gu Qingzhou wanted to pick it, but he found that he was as accurate as the teeth of the comb. If he had to pull it out, he would tear the whole bun of her hair apart.
She smiled and said, "what does a rose stand for?"
Cai Changting said, "beautiful and noble."
Gu Qingzhou laughed: "so that's why you like roses? Do you define yourself like that?"
Roses in this season are very rare, and Cai Changting's one is large and full, which is more special.
Cai Changting, who is beautiful and noble, can afford it.
"In my heart, you are also a rose." Cai Changting road.
"Is it the wild one with thorns?" Gu Qingzhou asked.
Cai Changting also laughed.
The two stopped. Gu Qingzhou wanted to go out to the study to find Si Xingpeng. Cai Changting went back to the banquet hall.
Roses also represent love.
What does Cai Changting's Rose stand for? Embellishment, or useless love? He never thought about it, but now he slipped a few traces in his heart.
The trace was very shallow and fleeting. Cai Changting returned to Mrs. Hirano.
"What did she say?" Mrs. Hirano asked coldly.
Cai Changting said, "she will come back after the annual meeting. Madam, will Qi Laosi continue to check?"
"Check." Mrs. Hirano said with no fluctuation in her tone and expressionless face.
Cai Changting road is.
At the same time, Gu Qingzhou went to the outer study and found ye dujun and Si Xingpeng sitting in the side hall chatting.
They seem to be discussing something.
Seeing Gu Qingzhou coming in, ye dujun first saw the cold and fragrant rose in her long black hair and said, "the flowers are good."
Si Xingpeng also saw it and said, "it's very beautiful. However, people are more beautiful."
Ye dujun looked back at Si Xingyu, couldn't help shaking his head and smiling, and asked him, "what do you always flatter your wife?"
"Who flattered me? I'm from the bottom of my heart. The boat is the most beautiful." Si Xingdao.
Ye dujun couldn't help laughing.
Gu Qingzhou was embarrassed and stared at Si Xingyu.
The secretary was at a loss.
What's funny and angry? Isn't it one of the most basic duties of a husband to praise his wife?
Moreover, any praise on his boat is not enough to express her perfection.
Si Xingpei felt that ye dujun must have never really loved someone, so he didn't understand.
He said goodbye to ye dujun: "the party is too noisy, so we'll go back first."
Ye dujun said yes.
When he came out, Gu Qingzhou said to him, "help me pick the roses."
She lowered her head and leaned close to him.
"It's very nice," said Si Xingpei
"I don't like it." Gu Qingzhou road.
Si Xingyu helped her pick it, held down the comb, held out the bun, carefully picked it off, and still scattered a few strands of hair.
"No, why are you wearing it?" The Secretary asked.
Gu Qingzhou told Si Xingpeng the origin of the rose.
The secretary was stunned and immediately threw the rose on the ground, stepped on it and ground it into mud.
He hugged Gu Qingzhou's waist. His mood remained unchanged. He didn't take it to heart at all. He quietly said to her, "let's set off fireworks?"
"Before dawn?"
"Early in the morning is to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Now fireworks are for fun." Si Xingdao.
Gu Qingzhou said, "the fireworks are not enough. What should I do?"
The Secretary said, "I've asked governor ye for it."
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the adjutant of governor Ye carried a basket of fireworks to Si Xingpei, who was all packed in the trunk.
They found a quiet place and began to set off fireworks.
Si Xingyu held Gu Qingzhou in his arms and watched the fireworks ignite the dark night sky. His heart was satisfied and sweet.
Gu Qingzhou also put his arms around his waist and said, "Si Xingyu, you are really the best husband - compared with other people's husbands."
Si Xingpeng laughed.
He kissed her on the forehead and asked, "is it cold?"
Even wearing thick fur, it's still very cold.
Gu Qingzhou nodded honestly: "cold."
"Well, let's go home."
When the two returned home, it was already eleven o'clock, and the servants had put on their straw sandals and were chatting together.
Si Xingpei sat in front of the warm fireplace and drank the hot wine handed over by the servant, feeling comfortable all over.
Gu Qingzhou also sighed: "in the winter, only the family is the best!"
The Secretary pinched her nose.
It was very early in the morning. Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingfu set off a lot of fireworks and watched what others set off. They didn't go to bed until one o'clock.
On the first day of the lunar new year, she also went to pay New Year's greetings to Mrs. Hirano.
This time, Mrs. Hirano had a much better attitude and asked Gu Qingzhou to go back to live early.
"I missed your sister so much last night." Mrs Hirano sighed.
Gu Qingzhou didn't answer, drank tea silently, and then said he was going to pay New Year's greetings to the old man of the Kang family. He left under the pretext of leaving.
The first day was very full and very tired.
When Gu Qingzhou returned home, the servant had prepared two medical boxes for her according to Gu Qingzhou's instructions, which contained countless proprietary medicines and herbs, as well as some knives, gauze and white coats for western medicine surgery.
This is for tomorrow.
At more than five o'clock the next morning, Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpei set out with master Qi.
He went out of the city until at the foot of a mountain, the sky was white.
Si Xingyu carried one medicine box on his back, and master Qi carried another.
Mountain roads are particularly difficult and complicated.
Gu Qingzhou looks at his watch from time to time.
Walked for an hour, two hours, three hours
They also ate dry food on the way.
After six hours, there was a small hut. Master Qi said to Si Xingpei, "young commander, you have to stay here."
The Secretary said, "well, since I'm here, I'll follow your rules."
"I'll bring you dinner in the evening, and I'll arrange your accommodation later. Don't worry." Master Qi seldom speaks neatly.
The Secretary nodded.
He hugged Gu Qingzhou and said, "be careful. I have pistols in the interlayer of the two medical boxes, and there is one in your coat pocket."
As he spoke, the pocket of Gu Qingzhou's mink coat sank.
Gu Qingzhou said, "I will."
After an hour's journey, they finally arrived at their destination in the afternoon.
Before approaching, Gu Qingzhou smelled the fragrance of flowers and heard the gurgling water.
When he stepped into a cave and walked along the cave for half an hour, he came to a canyon. Gu Qingzhou was stunned.
This is like a fairy cave.
It's winter and December outside, but the valley is like spring all the year round. At the moment, it's the golden season of warblers flying and grass growing. Everywhere is emerald green and bright red, and the color is so rich that people can't open their eyes.
"... is there really a paradise?" The sound of Gu's boat is ethereal.
Then she heard a puff of laughter, the voice of a young man.
When she looked back, she saw a young man standing behind her and master Qi.
