Disaster

Su Nianci gently poured a cup of tea for the girl sitting beside her, and smiled for a rare moment: "Ning'er, I knew you would come to see me."

Mu An Ning took the teacup and said with a smile, "Sister Su, why do you suddenly want to open a clinic?"

Yesterday at the Tan residence, Su Nianci mentioned this to her, saying that if she was also interested in contributing, she could visit the Su residence today.

Su Nianci held the handkerchief tightly and coughed. Her face was suddenly filled with grief. "The plague in Jiangnan killed thousands of people. Among them were Wen Huai's parents, my uncle and aunt."

Mu An Ning frowned, she had also heard of this matter.

It seemed that Yunniang and her two children came to the Marquis' Mansion because of the plague.

Su Nianci's face turned a little paler, and her tone was somewhat dry and sad: "Wen Huai said that my uncle and aunt's condition was not that bad originally, and there was still a chance for them to survive. But the doctors in the city are running away or dying, and the medicinal materials are becoming increasingly scarce..."

She choked up in the middle of her words and couldn't go on.

Mu An Ning knew that Su Nianci had been a kind-hearted and sentimental person since childhood.

Even though she was not close to her uncle and aunt, she must have mixed feelings at this moment.

Seeing her crying silently, Mu An Ning felt a bitter pain in his throat.

Except for life and death, everything else in the world is trivial, but life and death are the most difficult to predict.

She and Tan Wenhuai are quite similar in this respect, both of them are orphans.

She leaned forward slightly, gently wiped away a few tears from Su Nianci with a handkerchief, and said softly, "Sister Su, let's not talk about this anymore."

She took back the handkerchief and changed the subject, asking, "Sister Su, do you have any plans for the clinic?"

Su Nianci's tears finally stopped, but the turmoil in her eyes had not yet subsided: "Ning'er, this was actually my mother's idea." She paused and whispered softly: "I know you know something about pharmacology and you are also quite interested in this."

Mu An Ning's eyes moved slightly, and he listened quietly without interrupting.

Su Nianci smiled and said, "Actually, I have already decided where to open the clinic, but I am still short of staff."

Although Mu An Ning did not say it explicitly, how could she not see that her friend was in a rather awkward situation in the Marquis' Mansion and needed money to support herself.

She happened to be recruiting these days, so she thought of Mu An Ning.

Seeing that Mu An Ning was still thinking, she suddenly stood up and said softly, "Ning'er, why don't I take you to see it first? It won't be too late for you to make a decision then."

Mu An Ning pursed her lips and stood up.

In fact, she would be happy if she could help Sister Su.

She had some concerns in her heart, still because of her status as the adopted daughter of the Marquis's family.

[Dog system, so you mean, now more than one character has problems? ]

[Then...why hasn't the plot been reset this time? ]

[Check? Then when will it take? ]

Mu Wan'er was lying on the couch, chewing melon seeds and crossing her legs. She looked relaxed, but her heart was in a mess.

So that's why the male protagonist's favorability level has not changed because of this.

But in a few months, it will be the most important wedding scene in the book.

If the favorability is still not high enough by then, wouldn't she be forced to block another sword for the hero?

Although the system will block five points of pain, there are still another five points!

The first time she entered the book, she felt like she was pierced by a sword. She really didn't want to experience it again.

However, she had a confidence that this would be the last time she would travel through a book.

Otherwise, why do the plots always have some unfixable bugs?

There was a knock on the door, and Mu Wan'er came back to her senses from her reverie. She quickly sat up straight, acting like a lady from a wealthy family.

"Miss, the lady is looking for you."

On the busy street, Gu Ji walked beside Gu Huai and advised earnestly: "Sir, if you want Miss Mu to change her mind, the first step is to change your impulsive temper."

His son has always been a man who does what he thinks. If he wants to do something, he will do it directly without caring about the consequences.

Gu Huaizhi laughed incredulously and raised his eyebrows: "You said that this prince was impulsive?"

Seeing Gu Ji nodded seriously, Gu Huaizhi suddenly stopped talking.

Well, he admitted...

He was indeed impulsive sometimes, otherwise he would not have agreed to her breaking off the engagement, which made him upset and regretful now.

If he could go back to that day, even if she beat him or scolded him on the spot, he would never give in easily.

Gu Ji suddenly stopped and said, "Sir, we're here."

Gu Huaizhi came back to his senses, looked up at the plaque, and a trace of doubt surged in his heart: "A clothing store? Why did you bring me here?"

He seldom went to the clothing store. The last time he went there was when he had no choice but to buy clothes for the two sisters Mu Anning who were dressed as men.

Gu Ji swallowed his saliva, made up his mind, and said, "Sir, I have wanted to say this for a long time."

He stared at Gu Huaizhi's brocade clothes, hesitated for a moment, and then bravely said what was in his heart: "You wear scarlet every day, you are not tired of it, and others are tired of it too..."

Especially Miss Mu.

He observed that when Miss Mu saw the young master wearing a blue robe in the inn that day, her eyes were "staring straight".

Gu Huai choked and unconsciously lowered his head to look at his clothes.

He didn't really like the color red, but he found it troublesome, so he had been wearing the same color all these years.

He would occasionally change his color, but he would feel weak and uncomfortable all over.

Gu Ji secretly observed his young master's expression and asked him gently, "Besides, young master, have you noticed that other young masters wear different clothes every day?"

Gu Huaizhi's expression changed slightly, and the timid Tan Wenhuai suddenly flashed through his mind.

It seems to be true that every time I see him, he changes his clothes.

However...

Gu Huaizhi sneered and kicked Gu Ji hard: "Ridiculous! Do you want me to follow others' example?"

I thought Gu Ji could provide some useful solution, but I didn't expect it to be changing clothes.

If he changes his clothes, will Mu An Ning look at him more?

Besides, how could she be so superficial as to only look at the man's clothes?

The more he thought about it, the more speechless he became. He turned around with his robe brushed, but he ran into a familiar person face to face.

He stopped in his tracks and looked at the old man in ragged clothes. He was surprised: "Old man? Why are you here?"

Gu Ji wanted to explain, but seeing that the two men must have something to talk about, he could only step aside silently.

Xuan Ling laughed, not at all surprised: "Master, didn't I come here to see your evil disciple?"

Gu Huaizhi was full of disbelief. The fact that his master would think of coming to see him was like a pig flying.

Xuan Ling took a look at his apprentice and stroked his white beard with a smile: "Broken engagement?"

Gu Huaizhi's heart moved, and then he raised his eyebrows indifferently: "Old man, don't say that you figured this out. This matter is not a secret in Shangjing."

No one knew who it was, but within a few days of breaking off the engagement, the news spread to everyone.

Whenever his good friends saw him, they would congratulate him on finally getting what he wanted and escaping from the sea of ​​suffering.

It's really jarring.

Xuan Ling smiled noncommittally and said, "Master has seen her."

This time Gu Huaizhi was really surprised.

How come everyone says they have seen her? Not only Master and Yun Zheng have seen her, but even the old man says he has seen her?

He wondered what she looked like, as he had never told them before.

However...she did have some fame among the beauties in the capital, and she was so beautiful that it would not be surprising if they could recognize her if they had seen her portrait.

He nodded to himself, the smile in his eyes was like a gurgling stream, about to overflow.

Xuan Ling looked at the young man's silly look, blew his beard in frustration, and said in a serious tone: "Boy, I am here to tell you that you and that girl are destined to meet a disaster."

Since ancient times, the word "love" has troubled and harmed countless people.

Gu Huaizhi's smile froze on his lips, and he pretended to be indifferent and said, "Old man, why do you always play tricks on me? You fooled those pilgrims, but now you fool me."

But seeing Xuan Ling remained silent, his tone unconsciously slowed down: "Then tell me, what is this... calamity?"

In fact, this old man is sometimes quite accurate in his fortune telling.

Just like when he was still in Huiming Temple, the old man said that he would get engaged soon.

He refused to believe it at that time, but he felt like he was struck by lightning after returning home.

Xuan Ling shook his head and laughed, "Teacher can only tell you, don't force anything."

His disciple went to Huiming Temple because he was born with bad luck, and the girl also had bad luck in her fate.

The mental method he gave her that day could only temporarily suppress the strange voices in her heart.

Gu Huaizhi crossed his arms, his eyes dim and unclear: "Don't force it?"

I knew that this old man couldn't say anything good. From what he said, it seems that he should forget about renewing the engagement?

He was silent for a moment, then raised the corners of his lips: "What if I insist on asking?"

The old man had predicted the outcome a few years ago, but he had not expected that they would break off the engagement now.

Since the current hexagram has changed, does it mean that the future hexagram will also change?

Xuan Ling knew his disciple's temperament very well. He sighed in his heart and patted his shoulder: "It all depends on your luck."

Every disciple has his own blessings.

He finished speaking and turned around as if to leave.

Gu Huai was stunned and called him: "Old man, where are you going?"

This old man is always nervous and elusive.

I didn't see him when I went to Huiming Temple to visit them last year. Now that I finally got to see him, he just said a few words and left.

Xuan Ling didn't look back, but just smiled and said, "I've tasted all kinds of things in the world."

Gu Huaizhi stared at his back closely, feeling inexplicably disappointed.

Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, Gu Ji returned to the young man's side, but found that his face was as gloomy as if it was going to rain and ready to explode at any moment.

After a while, Gu Huaizhi snorted coldly: "This prince really doesn't believe in evil."

He sneered, turned around and walked into the clothing store.

The spring hunt is coming soon, and all the young men and women in the capital will participate.

Although Mu An Ning doesn't know how to shoot arrows or hunt, he has never missed it in the past.

He just listened to Gu Ji and changed his clothes.

Gu Ji opened his mouth and hurriedly followed in.

Just now, the young master refused to go in no matter what you said, how come he suddenly came to his senses?

Little did they know that as soon as they entered the tailor shop, two girls got off the carriage across the street.
