Inkstone New Tea

Chapter 16

At this moment, Gu Xiyan's cloak fell to the ground, and the appearance covered by it was completely exposed to everyone.She was wearing a white brocade dress with cloud pattern and a layer of gauze outside.She stood there quietly, her clothes fluttering, without the slightest fear of being attacked, her face was as delicate and soft as if carved from white jade, with pearls shining between her eyebrows and eyes.

Gu Xiyan's beauty is not ostentatious, even at first glance she looks dull, but when the gaze falls on her, it can make people unable to move their eyes away.Her temperament is clear and graceful, and because she seems to be unchangingly gentle and elegant, revealing a compassionate and pure kindness.

Seeing her, these common people thought it was a fairy descending at first glance, and for a while, except for a slight gasp, the silence was terrifying.

Even Nangong Pei, who took off her cloak, couldn't help but startled for a while, then he settled down and continued to look at Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan knew that the other party was looking at her, but she didn't look up to the attic. She just told Ah Da: "Come with Alan and bury Aunt Zhuo Shuo."

After she finished speaking, she saluted lightly: "Thank you, Daoist." She turned around and helped Alang get up.

Ah Da lowered his vigilance, stood by Gu Xiyan's side, and ordered people to go over.

"Let's go."

A Lang didn't get up immediately, but took a step back and took Xiao Que'er and Ling'er to kowtow to Gu Xiyan, and then kowtowed to the beggar who was begging for them.Gu Xiyan paused for a moment with the hand that was going to help, and let the boy get up after kowtowing.

Ah Da asked people to leave with the bodies of the Zhuo family and his wife, and Gu Xiyan also walked down the sin-washing platform step by step.The woman who was closer to her saw her appearance, and was surprised to find that those beautiful eyes were out of focus. Although her steps were steady and leisurely, the emptiness was obvious.

"She's actually blind?" the woman asked in disbelief.

At this moment, the people around all looked at his eyes, Gu Xiyan's face was unexpectedly peaceful, without any embarrassment or anger, as if it wasn't her, leading Alang and the others through the crowd that quickly parted ways.

But Ah Qi felt offended, and gave the woman a hard look.

"It's really blind. It's a pity that such a person is blind."

"This blind man, can't he be the eldest lady of the Gu family?"

"That's right, it seems that there are servants of the Gu family next to me. I didn't know that Miss Gu's family was so beautiful."

Ye Qinming watched what happened from a distance, and a stone she just held in her hand was crushed by her.There was some dissatisfaction in her eyes: "This woman is not afraid of death when she shows up in public at this time, pedantic!"

When people are dead, it doesn't matter what kind of corpse it is, it's just a skin.Those two little monsters also wanted their own way of death. If they were good monsters, they wanted to hang out with people, and they were killed by a crazy Taoist priest. They really shamed the monster clan.

Her eyes were faintly red, she glanced at Nan Gongpei, the corner of her mouth was full of sarcasm.Another person who resembles those gods very much, but he didn't learn their hypocrisy, but he learned [-]% of their viciousness.

But no matter how much she slandered, Ye Qinming still dodged and chased after them. If the vixen who was eyeing her made a move, her snacks would be gone.

The Zhuo family and his wife are not from Danyang. Although they live here, they do not have their own ancestral hall.Knowing that they were demons, the people around Zhuo's family naturally did not allow them to be buried on their mountain.

Gu Xiyan sought the consent of his parents, and found a place with good Fengshui in his own mountain forest for them to bury in peace.

Zhuolang and the two younger sisters knelt aside for a long time, and Gu Xiyan felt uncomfortable, but she didn't persuade them, and just stood aside to accompany the three children.

I don't know how long it took, the young man in plain clothes stood up and looked at Gu Xiyan: "Sister Gu, thank you for doing the funeral for your parents and finding a cemetery for them. Our three brothers and sisters will never forget this kindness. But I have nothing to repay." Yes, if Sister Gu doesn't despise us, I'm willing to sell myself to the Gu family and be a cow or a horse to repay you."

Gu Xiyan shook his head: "Aunt Zhuo Shuo is gone, remember to take stock of the things left behind, Xiao Que'er and Ling'er are still young, and you are only 12 years old, so I don't worry about keeping you by yourself. But there is no need to sell yourself, you can Take my sister to stay at Gu's house, and you can also learn some skills from the steward, don't you think?"

Zhuolang's voice was a little choked up, and he nodded heavily.Why didn't he know that Gu Xiyan wanted to help them.

What happened today made Gu Xiyan feel very tired, and sat in her room for a long time after returning home.

On the other side, when Gu Ye learned that she was seen when she went out, he was in a hurry, but he couldn't blame Gu Xiyan after the matter had come to this point.

He also sighed endlessly about the matter of the Zhuo family and his wife.I can only have a headache and think of a way to reject those matchmakers who are ready to move. Seeing his daughter's good looks, I want to be a matchmaker, and I want to be beautiful.

Gu Xiyan asked Ah Qi and the others to go out, and sat alone in the room slowly grinding the tea cakes. What could not be concealed from the bitter taste of the tea was a mellow and refreshing taste.

But Gu Xiyan's heart is still hard to calm down. What she heard from the crowd of onlookers today, the smell of blood in her nose, and the disgusting feeling left by her sense of smell and hearing have been haunting her all the time.

She couldn't see the miserable condition of Aunt Zhuo Shuo, but the gloomy feeling Nangong Pei gave her, and the painful sounds of Zhuo Lang and Xiao Que'er, also reminded her of what kind of scene it was.

She grew up under the protection of her parents for so many years, and her parents were kind-hearted, and she read and practiced calligraphy since she was a child, and what her husband taught her all told her that she should be a gentleman.The so-called move them with affection, treat them with courtesy, establish themselves with virtue, and give righteousness to others.Be honest with others, be strict with yourself, be persistent in dealing with things, and help others with love.

She has never doubted these things, and has always practiced them like this, but after seeing them today, she knows how difficult these things are in the eyes of the world.

Gu Xiyan slowly put down the tea cake and sighed softly.At this moment, Gu Xiyan heard footsteps, not Ah Qi and the others, but someone she was familiar with but hadn't heard for a long time.She raised her head subconsciously and wanted to speak but failed to make a sound, just paying attention to the movement of the person who came.

"This is probably the first time I heard you sigh. It's really rare." Ye Qinming's eyes never left her, and he hasn't looked at her up close for a long time. This feeling is inexplicably nostalgic.

Gu Xiyan was already full of thoughts, but when she heard Ye Qinming's voice, she suddenly felt calm for no reason.

"Long time no see, how have you been lately?"

She raised her head, and because she couldn't see, she was used to tilting her head, pretending to be listening.The lines of her white and jade-like face were soft. At this moment, she was not as low and depressed as before, and she was as soft as when I first met her.

Ye Qinming didn't speak immediately, but just glanced intently across her face.

Although Gu Xiyan couldn't see it, she could clearly feel that Ye Qinming was looking at her intently, with a shallow arc on the corner of her lips: "Is there something on my face?"

Ye Qinming looked away quickly, and sat down on a chair beside her: "No, I'm just curious that you finally have some other emotions."

Gu Xiyan's expression froze slightly, and his smile also subsided.Ye Qinming felt a little regretful when she saw it. She changed the subject and said, "I haven't seen you go to the tea garden recently. I don't care about them after picking tea. It's really cruel."

Gu Xiyan was taken aback for a moment, and laughed a little. Finally, she lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "You seemed very angry that day. I'm afraid you don't want to see me very much."

Ye Qinming was at a loss for words. She stood up and took a few steps back and forth, then cleared her throat and said, "Don't you think it was unreasonable for me to lose my temper that day? Since I was unreasonable, naturally I can't blame you. Why don't I want to see you?"

This statement sounds a bit unreasonable to others, but Gu Xiyan found another meaning from it strangely, Ye Qinming is admitting that he did that day in disguise, isn't it?and what she means...

"Then do you want to see me?" Gu Xiyan subconsciously asked.

"I don't want to see you, why should I follow you, and sneak into you..." Ye Qinming immediately closed her mouth. After a short silence, her cheeks were a little hot, and she said in a low voice: "I told you that Danyang City is not safe, you I'm still going out at this juncture. I just don't want the pills I keep to be cut off by others, so don't think too much about it."

The change in her tone, the excuse she tried to cover up, revealed an awkward cuteness, Gu Xiyan was a little amused in her heart, but she still explained in a gentle voice: "Aunt Zhuo Shuo treated me very well, they shouldn't be treated like this, I can't sit idly by reason."

Ye Qinming's long and narrow eyes carried some scrutiny: "Even if they are monsters, do you believe them? Don't you all think they are monsters, and they will kill innocent people indiscriminately? Do you deserve to die?"

Gu Xiyan turned to face her: "Everything has a spirit, but anyone who asks for something will have delusions. Therefore, unless there is no desire and no desire, there will be malice. The same is true of demons, and so is human beings. The reason why I am afraid of demons is because Demons have supernatural powers, and they are even more unscrupulous when they do evil."

"However, if you want something, you will keep it. If a person has good thoughts, he has a bottom line, and the same is true for monsters. Right and wrong are not absolute, and it is the most unfair to judge based on one's background. The demon's malice is even more ruthless."

As she spoke, her expression was a little perplexed and gloomy, just like what she saw just now.

"Because of today's incident?" Although Ye Qinming felt that it was not a bad thing to realize the dangers of this world, and even in her heart, she felt that she should gloat over others' misfortunes, but now, she did not want to see Gu Xiyan showing such an expression.

"Today is just telling me that the stories recorded in the classics and history of the past, both good and evil, really exist, and they are even more terrifying. The ancients said, don't abandon people's great beauty with small evils, and don't forget people's great kindness with small grudges. And The so-called evil of the Zhuo family is nothing more than being born as a monster, and their past goodness and kindness have been completely forgotten by them."

"But some people remember, don't they? The three children they raised were not white-eyed wolves. Didn't those beggars do their best in the end? Besides, you, why didn't you go there yourself and bury them properly so that they would not be thrown into the wilderness." Just now in the attic, the demon emperor who spurned Gu Xiyan's pedantry and took risks for the useless skin left behind, is now using this to comfort this pedantic woman.

Gu Xiyan was slightly surprised, the surprise on that gentle and beautiful face made Ye Qinming a little awkward, but she felt that such Gu Xiyan was inexplicably cute, so she said bluntly: "Am I not right?"

Gu Xiyan shook his head, with obvious joy in his tone: "Yes."

After she finished speaking, she paused, and a smile appeared on her face.It's not the usual light smile, as if the wind has wrinkled a pool of spring water, causing ripples.In an instant, the room was full of spring, and the bright light fell between the eyebrows.

This smile that lets go of the depression in my heart and blows away all the haze, is indescribably dazzling, like the warm sun in spring, arrogant but not dry, beautiful but not gorgeous, the ripples all the way blow into Ye Qinming's heart .

The evening sun and twilight outside the house divide the whole world equally, and the golden afterglow flows in from the window. The eyes of the woman in the red dress inside the house are shining brightly. Find the tenderness.

The author has something to say: Green Tea said that although I am arrogant and love to hate people, I am also warm.

Bai Lian: Well, you are fine.

Green tea: I really don't have a conscience, I don't care about those teas after they are picked.

Bailian: They are not you. After you and I have finished picking them, we must continue to pick them.
