When Gu Xin went to sleep at night, she treated her pillow as her Yuan Yuan brother and pounded it several times, but she still didn't feel comfortable. She then took out the twelve zodiac animal wood carvings that Lu Zheng had given her and did some calculations herself.
She was born in the Year of the Tiger, and Yuanyuan is five years older than her. Five years before that, she is born in the Year of the Dog.
She took the dog out, put it on the bed, sat cross-legged, pushed the dog over with her hand, then picked it up, kicked it away with her foot, picked it up again, and punched it with her hand.
I played for a long time before going to sleep.
She had no idea that she was still holding the dog's hand while she was sleeping.
She had a dream that night.
In my dream, I was talking about myself again as an adult.
She loved the beautiful courtyard, where the garden was full of flowers.
She was playing with a snow-white dog, which was very beautiful and pure white.
She was very happy in her dream.
Beside her, a man was playing the zither, the music cheerful and melodious, but she still couldn't see the man's face.
When she woke up the next morning, she looked at the dog in her arms and thought of her dream from the previous night.
Yes, I must learn the piano.
Yu can play the zither, the man in her dream can also play the zither, and her father can also play the zither.
You must learn it yourself.
Gu Shouxin can play the zither. Gu Xin didn't ask him how he could play because in Da Zhou, formal academies usually have this course. People like Gu En are already learning it, but he just doesn't like it.
In the formal academies of the Great Zhou Dynasty, not only were the subjects taught for the imperial examinations taught, but also the Six Arts of a Gentleman: rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics.
In the entire Taoyuan County, there are only two formal academies: one is the official school in the county town, and the other is the academy opened by Master Zhou in Zhoujia Town, which specifically accepts school-age children from the surrounding area. The tuition is not high, and it can be considered a form of charity.
Other academies in Taoyuan County were not as well-developed, and everything was mainly focused on the imperial examinations.
Gu Shouxin used to study at the academy in Zhoujia Town, so it wouldn't be surprising if others thought he could play the zither. After all, he was known as a child prodigy when he was young.
During her morning exercise, Gu Xin thought of her dream from the previous night and asked, "Sister Huihui, sister, have you ever seen a dog that is all white?"
Gu Hui shook her head.
Gu Nian asked in surprise, "You've seen Xin Xin before? Where have you seen her?"
She remembered that in the book, the male protagonist knew that the female protagonist liked animals. After returning from a military campaign, the emperor asked him what reward he wanted. He didn't want anything but a dog that had entered the palace from outside the palace that year. The dog was pure white. As for its breed, Gu Nian didn't know. Her nephew, that idiot, didn't write it at all, probably because he was too lazy to write it. Anyway, the female protagonist really liked this dog.
Later in the story, a girl in the capital is jealous of the female lead. While out for a spring outing, she happens to meet the male and female leads. Seeing how attentive the male lead is to the female lead, the girl secretly has her maidservant poison the white dog when the female lead is not paying attention.
The female lead lost her white dog, and the male lead discovered the dog had been poisoned. He then ordered everyone he had met during the outing to be investigated, eventually finding the girl. He threw her into the moat; had someone not happened to be passing by, she would have drowned, or at least been half-dead. Later, her family, knowing she had offended the male lead, forced her to marry far away. At that time, Lu Zheng had just achieved military merit, and apart from a few princes and their maternal relatives, no one dared to offend him.
Gu Nian was afraid that Gu Xin would remember her past life of serving the emperor, so she was a little nervous.
Gu Xin shook her head: "I've never seen one! That's why I asked if you've seen one. I was thinking, if there's a white rabbit, will there also be a white dog?"
