Chapter 67 "Let's get started!"
Raindrops were falling, the wind was blowing, and a ray of pale white sunlight penetrated the clouds and fell on the old bamboo hat and the wet straw eaves.
Gu Wan rushed out, rushing towards the person who had returned after going through so much hardship. No matter how good his self-comforting analysis was, it could not completely cover up his worries and uncertainty. The moment he really saw the person coming back, the surging emotions almost made him explode.
Xie Ci caught her, the force of the collision was just like her momentary ecstasy, his lower body was steady, not moving at all.
Both of them were very excited, their eyes became hot and tears welled up.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
"I'm here, I'm here, I'm back."
Xie Ci tried his best to suppress his surging emotions. As they separated slightly, he stood on the moss-covered steps under the eaves and said, "It's okay. It's all over."
He looked at Gu Wan's red eyes and said, she blinked hard and said, "Yeah!" with a happy smile.
He closed his eyes and smiled.
Everyone rushed out quickly, and many people heard the sound of horse hooves first. The hurried and chaotic footsteps rushed down the wooden stairs. Qin Guan and Chen Luo even jumped directly from the second-floor window.
Qin Ying was the second one to come out. She lived in a room on the first floor near the door. Her hair and the front of her clothes were wet. She spilled the water for washing her face and rushed out of the door. Her eyes were instantly red.
Xie Ci said to her, "Second sister-in-law, I'm back."
Qin Ying opened her eyes wide and nodded desperately, "I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back."
She wiped her eyes with both hands and smiled with tears in her eyes.
Everybody came out, and the door of the small farmhouse inn was filled with excited people.
Xie Ci looked around at everyone for a moment, and finally, he said calmly: "Pack up, we will go to Beijing immediately!"
He had experienced the pain of having tendons and bones removed more than once and had long been accustomed to it.
Even in the face of life and death, he remained calm.
As he left the palace and felt the cold wind, he gradually calmed down.
Xie Ci looked at everyone one by one, then at Qin Ying, and finally at Gu Wan's face. He said in a hoarse voice, "We are going back to the Duke's Mansion."
The most unattainable thing is obtained for a moment, but the process is too long, like breaking it into pieces and then crushing it bit by bit into powder.
The shocking fall from grace the night before was so heartbreaking that when it finally fell into my hands, my heart was as hard as a rock.
It came about because he tried his best, without any luck at all.
Xie Ci looked up at the sky. Rain clouds were circling, and black clouds and biting cold wind were meeting.
…
August 30th, the year of Jichou.
In the 41st year of the Longqing reign, the current emperor celebrated his 600,000th birthday.
A person's sixtieth birthday is a cycle of sixty-one cycles, each a Jiazi (Jia Zi) cycle. On a sixtieth birthday, the year, month, day, and hour are identical to those of his birth. Therefore, sixty is considered a very important and significant number by modern people.
If the amnesty is broader, it will become reasonable.
Emperor Longqing was suffering from injuries and illness, and was originally indifferent to Wanshou, but suddenly he became active.
Two days before Wanshou, he suddenly summoned officials from the Ministry of Rites to inquire about the preparations for the ceremony. Immediately afterwards, he summoned the three ministries of Zhongshu, Shangshu, and Menxia to draft an imperial edict of amnesty.
At first, this amnesty edict did not attract much attention, but later, as a fuse, it quickly ignited the gloomy situation in Zhongdu!
This decree of amnesty had unknowingly included the Xie family members of the former Loyal and Brave Duke's Mansion who had been executed and exiled three years ago. "Their crimes have been pardoned, their past deeds will not be pursued, they have turned over a new leaf, and if they do have talent, they should be employed and promoted with the same merits."
On the same day, the emperor issued three consecutive imperial edicts. The first one was a review of the reward and punishment report for the Northwest War that the Ministry of War had submitted a few days ago. Major General Heijia and Li Yi were among them.
Immediately after, the second and third decrees revealed Xie Ci's identity as Major General Black Armor, who had made great contributions to the country by resisting foreign invaders. This caused a huge uproar! On the day the decree arrived, Xie Ci, son of the former Loyal and Brave Duke Xie Xinzhong, was appointed Grand Protector of Shuofang, with concurrent transfer to Zhongdu. He was also granted the rank of General of the Cavalry and Minister of the Secretariat, in charge of both military and political affairs of the court, and in charge of the Left and Right Wing Armies of the Capital Camp.
Xiaoshan King Li Yi made great contributions in saving the battlefield from a thousand miles away, and was granted the title of Grand Protector of Fanlu, and was also transferred to Zhongdu. He was also granted the title of General of the Nation, Minister of the Secretariat, and was in charge of the military and political affairs of the court, and the rear army of the capital camp.
——Ever since the emperor fell off the throne and fell into a coma the year before last, and was bedridden for several months afterwards, more than half of the Secretariat, the court, and the imperial guards were lost. The fierce clash between the power of the prime minister and the emperor made the situation in the capital extremely tense, with an atmosphere of the eve of a bloody storm, stuck together into a thick and sticky layer. Under the dormant calm, there was a panic that could not be torn apart.
Finally, today, two volumes of imperial edicts came like a blood-red thunderbolt, breaking the stalemate with lightning speed!
The entire capital was shocked, regardless of which side it was on, even the royalists.
However, these ups and downs outside have little to do with Xie Ci and others for the time being.
They can't hear yet.
I don't want to pay attention to it for now.
On this sunny late autumn afternoon, Xie Ci, his Xie family, including Qin Ying and Gu Wan, finally received the imperial edict of amnesty.
The eunuch in a silver-purple gauze robe announced the decree: "Your Majesty, let the past be forgotten. I hope you will be loyal and diligent in the king's affairs. From now on, you must not slack off. I decree this!"
Snow-white silk, glossy black ink, bright yellow brocade mounting, and exquisitely embroidered five-clawed golden dragon and soaring cloud pattern are inlaid in the rosewood scroll. In the sunlight, it is a bright golden yellow.
Xie Ci knelt on the ground and took the two heavy imperial edicts.
From now on, people with the surname Xie can stand in the sun with confidence.
He is thanking you.
It’s not Chen Lang, nor is it Chen Huan or Zhu Jun.
The eunuch who announced the imperial edict mounted his horse and left with the guard of honor. He slowly stood up, opened the two volumes of imperial edict, and read them one by one.
Finally, he turned around and said to Qin Ying and Gu Wan, who were both in tears, "Let's go home."
Yes, go home.
There was another sentence in the imperial edict just now, which was to grant the former Duke of Loyalty and Bravery a mansion as a token of gratitude.
Just as Xie Ci expected.
This was not a reward from the emperor, but the inner city was a place of great value, adjacent to the imperial city, large enough and majestic enough, and there were not many mansions that could rival those of Lin Guozhang and Feng Kun, and there was only one vacant one.
After the Duke of Zhongyong's mansion was ransacked and his title was taken away, the mansion was sealed and emptied out. Ordinary people were not qualified to live in a mansion of this level. Those who were qualified did not want to get involved in unnecessary trouble and tried to decline.
So, now this mansion is still empty and sealed.
No matter how steadfast his heart was, tears welled up in Xie Ci's eyes at this moment. He turned around and said to Qin Ying and Gu Wan, "I'll take you home."
…
The mansion is majestic and solemn.
It has not been maintained for several years and is a bit old, but no one has touched it and its clean and solemn atmosphere still lingers.
Xie Ci refused the Ministry of Works' cleaning offer. He took Gu Guan, Qin Ying and the others along the long bluestone street, and arrived at the gate of the Duke of Zhongyong's Mansion amidst the various surprised and complicated gazes of many people.
Xie Ci personally climbed the steps, tore off the seals with his own hands, and pushed open the two dusty doors of the mansion.
With a "Ya Ya" sound, the familiar and majestic vestibule and main hall came into view.
Qin Ying burst into tears.
Xie Ci closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
…
Everyone was crying and laughing, their emotions were beyond words. Even a tough guy in his thirties like Qin Guan wiped his eyes.
Xie Jiawei's Xie Yun, Xie Feng and others burst into tears.
After crying their hearts out, everyone soon smiled again. No matter what, they were finally back!
Returned to the hero's mansion.
Xie Yun, Xie Feng, and a group of big men and young men cried loudly, hugged each other, wiped their tears with their clothes, and went to clean up in a hurry.
Qin Guan, He Yuan and the others did the same. Those who could cook went shopping and cooked, while those who couldn't rolled up their sleeves to fetch water and clean.
The letter of thanks has been sent to the north. The Shuofang Protectorate has a ready-made system based on the previous regulations, so it only needs to be restructured. These matters are temporarily handed over to Qin Xian, Chen Yan and others. I believe that the imperial edict sent through the military channel has almost reached all parts of Shuofang.
"Qin Xian is not in good health. I hope he won't cry too sadly."
Xie Ci said as he sat on the ridge of the eaves.
He and Li Yi were not without background. Qin Xian, Chen Yan and others started to select people for him as soon as they returned to the base. During this period, they received several letters saying that Zhang Qing had gone back to lead the people; the same was true for Xie Yun and Xie Feng.
In the Northern Court, the team will be put in place soon, and this mansion will soon be restored to its former state with guards, patrols and servants, just as before.
But before that, let them celebrate this hard-earned moment together.
Chen Lang took people to buy things in person, and excitedly bought a lot of fruits, vegetables, meat, and other things. Chen Luo took people to carry them. Several young men from Xie Jiawei put on headscarves and aprons and cooked in the clean big kitchen.
The banquet was set up in the main hall, and everyone worked together to prepare it. For Qin Guan, Chen Luo and others, this might be the first time such an experience, and everyone was very excited and happy.
Xie Ci was sitting at the head of the table, where his father had once sat, before the mural of the Whistling Forest, which he had personally cleaned. He raised his glass and said, "Cheers to everyone! You've all followed me all the way to this day, and I'll never forget you. Cheers!"
"Dry!!"
Qin Guan, Chen Luo, He Yuan and others had already stood up, filling the entire main hall. They excitedly raised their glasses, responded, drank it all, and then politely thanked the audience.
After the exciting celebration banquet, everyone just had a sip of wine, and then Qin Guan, Xie Feng and others went to discuss their defense duties. Xie Yun and others also stood solemnly in the corridor, and Qin Ying also returned to her room.
Returning to the old place and drinking some wine, Qin Ying's emotions surged even more. She smiled and said she would go back and take a look first.
Everyone left one after another, and the main hall was quickly cleaned up. The solemn and simple main hall courtyard soon returned to peace.
Xie Ci stood in the quiet corridor for a moment, then jumped onto the roof with Gu Wan, watching Qin Ying's figure gradually moving away. She walked and stopped, sometimes standing for a long time, and finally disappeared at the end of the corridor leading to the west road.
Xie Ci looked at his second sister-in-law's back silently, watching her walk towards the courtyard of the second house.
After a long while, he turned his head and looked back at the familiar double-eaved and flying-roofed houses, the layers of houses high and low all the way to the open space at the end, which was the small parade ground and garden.
He turned around and said to Gu Wan, who had been silent while he was looking out, "Can I take you to see my old yard?"
In the past, he and Gu Guan lived in the inner courtyard and outer courtyard respectively, and they were not familiar with each other. He was unhappy in the only half month after their marriage, and he never thought of taking her to visit his territory.
Xie Ci once thought that he would never have such an opportunity again, but he didn't expect that when he came back, he wanted to take her to see it.
Gu Wan stretched his muscles and smiled: "Okay!"
…
Xie Ci jumped to the ground, and Gu Guan used the side wall of the front yard as a cushion before coming down as well.
She is getting better and better at it now, and doesn't like Xie Ci to lead her. She doesn't like Xie Ci being too weak and helpless. She likes to jump down by herself.
Xie Ci smiled at her, then restrained his expression after a moment. He turned and walked towards the corridor on the east road.
In the past, Xie Qi lived in the first courtyard on the east road, and he lived in the second courtyard. When Xie Ci left, he deliberately bypassed the first courtyard and went around from behind the main hall.
The floor is made of water-polished bluestone, there is a spacious corridor half a meter wide, the walls are made of black tiles and bricks, the railings and pillars are painted red and black, and the paintings on the beams are mostly blue and ink. It is an ancient and solemn mansion.
Xie Ci took Gu Wan through the corridor, around the porch, and walked into the alley along the direction of the moon gate. After turning a corner, they arrived at a large courtyard with two entrances and dark blue bricks and black tiles.
Xie Ci was still young at that time, and there were many colorful things in the yard. There were two large earthenware jars with water-ground green glaze under the eaves, filled with rainwater from the night before. Bowl lotuses were planted in them. The Mid-Autumn Festival had passed, but they had not yet completely withered. A branch stretched out from the green lotus leaves, and next to it were two large, full lotus pods the size of fists.
Xie Ci ran to the water tank and said, "This... I planted it when I was ten years old. I thought it would die, but it unexpectedly grew back on its own. I used to often see flowers here."
There are lotus flowers in the pot. When the flowers bloom, the first thing he does when he wakes up every morning is to run out excitedly and stand under the eaves to admire the lotus flowers.
Xie Ci used to be proud and unrestrained, and had a very lively personality. He loved to wear red, blue, green and purple clothes, all kinds of bright colors in full swing, just like him.
The room had been cleaned, and many things that had been broken were carried out, some of which had been there originally.
Gu Guan saw a red-painted wooden rocking horse. Xie Ci stood in front of it and said, "This was my childhood rocking horse. My mom said I loved riding it."
He rode the horse every day, and after being beaten, he took the whip and rode away, saying that he was going to find his uncle and would not go home.
Xie Ci breathed a sigh of relief and took Gu Wan to see his gun rack, his study, desk, his bedroom, tables, chairs and benches, and the poplar wood bed with a moon-shaped door that had been placed there since he was born.
The Xie family's beds and tables were simple in style, and the wood used was not precious, so they were unexpectedly well preserved.
Now it has been cleaned and is almost exactly the same as before, except for the loss of the brightly colored curtains and chairs.
Xie Ci looked at it for a long time and said, "Let me take you to the training ground. When I was little, I always practiced martial arts first and then read and write. I could only play in the afternoon."
The two of them walked along the alley to the back of the house on the north side, passed through the residential areas in the front and back yards, pushed open the two black lacquered doors, and suddenly their eyes opened up to the training ground and the large garden that occupied one-third of the area of the house. One was on the left and the other on the right, connected by a small door in the middle.
Xie Ci's voice finally showed some interest. He said, "I heard that before I was born, this place was not like this. It was all a large parade ground."
In the words of Xie Xinzhong, how can a military man, especially a general, not have a training ground at home?
So there was no garden at home before, and the back one-third of the area was all training ground.
"But my mother wasn't happy. She said, 'You're lucky to be home for three months a year. Why do you need to build a training ground? We don't even have a place to relax at home.'"
Later, the sisters-in-law came in one after another and agreed with them. The fathers and brothers could not stand up to the women's army. "Finally, the training ground became smaller and smaller. After much arguing, they finally decided to draw a line in the middle. It was the fairest. Both sides had something, and neither side would gain an advantage."
Seeing that the cheerful tone in Xie Ci's voice gradually faded as he spoke, Gu Wan quickly continued, "So that's how it is. When we were young, my brothers practiced martial arts and would jump directly from the small door into the lake in the garden to bathe."
It’s just that at that time, the original owner was living under someone else’s roof and was very sensitive. He seldom went to the garden, and had never been to the small training ground once.
She suddenly turned around and said to Xie Ci with a smile, "I haven't been here before. Why don't we have a competition?"
Xie Ci was stunned: "Comparing what?"
Gu Wan smiled and said, "Horseback riding, duel, archery, saddle puppet chopping! Whoever loses has to promise the other one something. How about it?"
"Okay! You said it."
At the whistle of the two men, two sleek war horses, one brown and one black, broke free from the reins, galloped along the alley, jumped over the stone threshold, and rushed into the gate of the training ground.
Gu Guan laughed heartily. This horse was exactly what she wanted. She touched the shiny horse's mane, pulled the reins, and jumped on.
Xie Ci had already jumped up before the black horse entered the door. The black horse lowered its head and leaped over, and Xie Ci landed steadily on its back.
As soon as a person gets on the horse, the whole momentum changes.
The two men looked at each other tacitly, kicked their horses' bellies, and shouted, "Gee!" They rushed out of the range of the large bluestone mill and galloped towards the end of the loess training ground.
The sharp autumn wind blew past his ears, and all the melancholy he felt at the sight of the scene gradually disappeared. He tilted his head and met Gu Wan's smiling face. She said to him, facing the wind, "Xie Ci! Look how amazing you are! You actually did it and took back this house!"
"We will definitely get better and better in the future—"
Gu Guan shouted loudly, the cold wind of late autumn blew into her mouth, and her whole body was riding the wind on the galloping horse, as if she was about to fly against the wind.
Even if you tell Xie Ci, you are also telling yourself.
From now on, she is a local here. She will put down roots here, fall in love, get married and have children, and eventually become a part of this place.
“This place is also very good!!”
She shouted loudly against the wind.
She is going to leave the past behind and embrace a new life!
"Thank you! Let's fight—"
The two of them rode their horses all the way to the end of the parade ground. Xie Ci was half a horse's length faster than her, then turned his horse's head and came to the center of the parade ground. Gu Guan drew out his two swords, one in front and one behind, and rode on the horse's back and shouted.
"good!"
Xie Ci's blood rushed up, as if it was about to boil, and he couldn't help but shout: "Give me my gun!"
Xie Zi and Xie Ping quickly turned around and ran over, bringing back Xie Ci's shiny silver spear with a red tassel.
The silver spear was thrown up, and Xie Ci caught it with one hand. He danced the spear neatly, pointing the tip of the spear at the ground, "Come on."
Just like a battle in the training ground, the two men rode their horses in circles, concentrating on observing each other. Suddenly, all four hooves of both horses moved at the same time and rushed forward.
With a sharp sound of "clang" as two blades collided, Xie Ci blocked Gu Guan's long sword with his backhand, slightly bent his waist to avoid the other sword, pulled and pushed, and stabbed Gu Guan in the face with his arm.
When Gu Guan blocked the attack, her arms shook and became numb. A huge force paralyzed her knuckles, nearly causing her two swords to slip out of her hands.
…She thought her skills had improved a lot, but she didn’t expect that when she faced Xie Ci head-on, the distance between them was still so far.
I still have this thank you letter to accept.
She exclaimed, "Xie Ci, you're so awesome!"
Xie Ci smiled.
Those rose-like eyes suddenly became lively, and his expression finally became cheerful. He smiled and said, "You have improved a lot. Let's do it again!"
Horse fighting wasn't for her, but she did make great progress.
Gu Guan immediately changed his strategy, playing to his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses, and adopted the method of close-range attacks from a distance. As Xie Ci fought on, he gradually became really involved, swinging his spear wildly, sweating profusely, and his blood and emotions seemed to be ignited.
He completely left those depressed moods behind!
"Next year, when things are more stable, I will bring Mingming back."
After Xie Ci finished the horse battle, he shot ten arrows in a row, each one hitting the bull's eye. The force penetrated the back of the target, and the arrow feathers were still buzzing rapidly. He jumped off the horse and ran his hand over the thick hemp rope target. "When the time comes, I will tell him that this target was made by his father."
When talking about his father and brother again, Xie Ci no longer avoided the topic. He turned around and spoke in the same calm and natural tone as before, his eyes still shining brightly.
Gu Guan jumped off the horse, whip still in hand. She clapped her hands and said with a smile, "That's right."
You've come back despite all the hardship, cheer up and don't be depressed!
The two of them were sweating profusely and went to wash their faces in the small lake in the big garden next door. The sun was setting and dusk was covering the earth. The chrysanthemums in the garden were in full bloom, the lake was rippling, and the small pavilion and the Nine-Curve Bridge in the distance were a crimson gold in the afterglow.
After Gu Guan washed her face, she stood up. Under the setting sun, she looked a little unnatural. She coughed twice and raised her face. Her big eyes were clearly black and white on her fair face, and they looked particularly bright and red under the setting sun.
"Thank you," she took something out of her arms and coughed softly, "You won, so this is for you."
Just now, Xie Ci won the horse racing, fighting and archery.
She threw the things in her hand to him and said, "Go back and take a shower before watching. Okay, I'm leaving!"
She waved her hand and ran away.
She had to run away, otherwise she would feel embarrassed and couldn't stay here.
Xie Ci looked down and saw that it was a wax ball, the size of a thumb. He had no idea what was inside.
But his heart suddenly sensed something and started beating rapidly.
"Hey, Wanwan!..."
He chased for two steps, stopped, turned around and rushed back to his yard.
…
The last ray of rouge-colored afterglow disappeared on the screen wall, and the lanterns under the eaves and the oil lamps in the house had been lit.
Xie Ci hurried back to his yard. The whole yard was already bright and yellow. He took a quick shower, almost soaking wet. But before going out, he thought for a moment, grabbed the soap and quickly rinsed it, then rinsed himself from head to toe. His hair was wet. He put on his inner and outer clothes, a black suit. After getting dressed, he finally sat down at the desk and picked up the wax pill.
He held his breath and squeezed it open.
There was a small note folded inside. He slowly twisted it out and opened it. Under the light, there were only five words on the white paper - "Let's get started!"
Black words on white paper, written in beautiful and elegant strokes, with a kind of unrestrained and free-spirited style, shine brightly into the eyes.
In an instant, Xie Ci seemed to hear that familiar crisp voice ringing in his ears, and said with a smile: "Let's get started!"
Start what?
Of course it’s love!
The ecstasy at this moment went from the tailbone to the top of the head, and Xie Ci almost jumped up.
——In fact, he had a feeling, because when he returned that day, Gu Wan rushed out in excitement. It's not that the two of them had not hugged each other excitedly before, but she had never rushed out like this. There were some subtle differences in her body language when she didn't have that intention in her heart and had already thought it through and was willing to accept it.
At that moment, his heart moved.
But at that time, his emotions and thoughts were occupied by other things and he had no time to think about it carefully.
Xie Ci felt a lump in his throat and his eyes were hot. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and put the note against his heart.
But he was happy, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
He was overjoyed. All the depression he felt in the evening after sweating under Gu Wan's guidance was gone. At this moment, he was truly happy.
This familiar mansion, a house that he knew every eave and tile of, held his emotions, but there was no more gloom.
"It's really uncultured."
Shouldn't we be in love and remember each other forever, with the cold autumn wind blowing and the person finally returning; one mountain, two mountains, and red maple leaves full of longing?
He took another look at the letter and said with a bit of disgust, tears welling up in his eyes.
No, that's not right. The person he is deeply in love with is himself.
She probably doesn't have that much.
It doesn’t matter, there will be more and more in the future!
Xie Ci's heart was in high spirits, he savored the mood and joy of the moment carefully, he could no longer sit still, he ran out!
…
Under the cover of night, she passed through the numerous corridors and stone walkways, and rushed into the courtyard where Gu Wan lived before she got married, with the excitement and joy of a child.
Xie Ping and his friends were very smart and had disappeared long ago.
Under the green eaves, the courtyard is covered with flowers, plants and mosses, but one can still see its former exquisiteness and uniqueness.
On one side of the bluestone flowerbed with scattered chrysanthemums is a wooden corridor with red-painted columns. The door of the boudoir is locked, and a dim light shines through a window, dimly shining outside the house.
When Xie Ci came, Gu Guan had changed into a light apricot-colored skirt. The gauze material fluttered in the night breeze, giving her a flowing look.
She held a bamboo piccolo in her hand, and she flipped it over, so that the flute circled around her thumb and returned to her palm.
Gu Guan can play the flute. On this night, she put the flute to her lips and gently played a "Night Goodbye Song".
After noticing Xie Ci, she put down her piccolo.
The night was quiet, the moonlight poured down like a torrent, and the hoarse night chirping of autumn insects was heard from time to time.
One of them was on the steps of the wooden corridor, and the other was on the ground in the courtyard.
The autumn wind blows, bringing with it a faint fragrance of chrysanthemums.
Gu Guan was a little embarrassed and smoothed his bangs. Oh, I knew he would come.
She thought about it and decided that she was too embarrassed to say it, so she wrote the note. She didn't expect this guy to come back so soon.
But it wasn't very unexpected.
Xie Ci rushed to the bottom of the stairs. He stood in the corridor for a while and whispered, "Wanwan, I'm really happy today!"
The joy in his words flowed out, and even without looking, one could guess the joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Gu Guan's emotions were actually a bit complicated. He had been thinking about it for two days, and after sending the note for an hour, he felt like he had let go of something in his heart. He felt empty and uncomfortable, but at the same time, he felt relieved. Anyway, he had mixed feelings.
But she thought about it and finally said, "I am happy too."
She finally made the decision. Perhaps the groundwork had been laid well before, and she felt more relieved.
Gu Guan turned her head to look at Xie Ci, who immediately took a step forward. He looked energetic and excited, as if he could fight for another five hundred years. She couldn't help but laugh.
alright!
Don't want to think about it anymore.
That's it, I'm about to start a new life.
Let’s start with the thank you!
Gu Wan looked up at the sky, encouraging herself during this period of transition between the old and the new. She glared at Xie Ci and said, "Don't be so excited. You have to work hard!"
If you get knocked down by someone, you'll have nothing.
Xie Ci's voice was almost like a military order. He immediately said, "Don't worry, Wanwan, I will definitely work harder!"
No one can defeat him!
"I'm about to get married and have a family!" Xie Ci's mouth was almost stretched behind his ears. Getting married was not in sight yet, but he was already so excited that he was almost speechless.
“…”
Gu Wan could see the shadows of Xie Yun and Xie Ping outside the courtyard gate from the corner of her eye. She was speechless, but also felt a little bit heartbroken and distressed for this fool. She was so helpless, "Go, go, go back quickly. How many days have you not slept?"
Forget it, she had better send this guy back as soon as possible, otherwise she would lose face and couldn't save herself. The gossipy Chen Lang lived next door to her.
"Hurry back, I want to sleep."
She glared: "Otherwise, I will take back what I said."
“…”
How can that be?
Xie Ci was anxious and closed his mouth, "Then I'll go back to sleep."
How could he possibly give Gu Wan a chance to regret? He put the wax ball in his hand behind his back, said good night, and ran away like a gust of wind.
Halfway through the run, he burst into laughter.
Gu Wan watched him walk away, and finally couldn't help but smile.
The thank you speeches tonight were truly moving.
Okay! I hope I can continue to be happy like this.
The author has something to say:
Xie Ci: I have a wife! Don't worry, honey, I will work harder and do my best to build my career! (Excited and full of energy)
Gu Wan: ...Brother, is your progress bar moving too fast? It seems like I just agreed to start a relationship with you!
(Also, this guy actually dared to look down on me for my lack of literary talent. I can’t keep him. Get him out!)
Hahaha, milestone! Chick Ci's relationship has begun! We need to give Wan Wan a transition! Hahaha, huh?! See you tomorrow, babies~ (*^▽^*)
