Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 21

"Hey, over there, wipe it clean—yes, on the railing..." Stretching out a finger, Caiyi knocked on the melon seeds, and spit out the skin of the melon seeds on the ground.

Gu Sixiao didn't take it seriously, she wiped the railing clean with an honest look, then turned her head and asked with a smile: "Sister Caiyi, the yard has been cleaned up, do you think you should clean up the study as well?" ?”

"I'm in the study! Where do you look?" Caiyi raised her eyebrows and snorted twice, "Hua'er, you have to figure out who you are, and know who is respected in the study..."

Seeing her madness, Gu Sixiao sighed in her heart, but her face was still respectful, "Sister Caiyi is older than me, and she came first, so naturally Sister Caiyi is the main one. This, Huaer I still understand."

"Since you understand, that's fine!" Caiyi clapped her hands, threw away the remaining melon seeds, and said with a smile, "Since you are a sensible person, then I, as a sister, can't lose you! Well, just Let you enter the study to open your eyes..."

Gu Sixiao looked up, watched Caiyi push open the study door behind her, and couldn't help but clenched the broom in her hand.

It is said to be the back study room, but in fact it is a small courtyard. In addition to the main room as the study room, there are two side rooms on the left and right, and a side room at the back. It seems that the two girls lived in the side room.

The courtyard is shaded by phoenix trees, and the study room pushed away by the colorful clothes is not very bright, it is faint, like a mysterious dark hole, which will swallow the colorful clothes standing in front of the door at any time.

Ren was mentally prepared, but Gu Sixiao still failed at this moment, and could no longer maintain his pretended calm.

Perhaps sensing her strangeness, Caiyi suddenly opened her arms, "What are you thinking? Let me tell you, this study is mine! You can come in when I let you in to clean up—don't think you If you come into this courtyard, you can push me down—well, you don’t understand how much I am in the hearts of the officials..."

Gathering her mind, Gu Sixiao finally turned her eyes to Caiyi, first she smiled timidly, and she looked at Caiyi with envious and fearful eyes, "I heard from Luluo that sister Caiyi, you want to be an official I'm your concubine! We'll have to call you Aunt from now on..."

"Ah! You all know it!" With Gu Sixiao's envious eyes, Caiyi raised her head, "It won't be long..."

Sighing, she snorted, "But I won't move out of the back study until I'm given my title! What kind of girl, who cares?! Want to use an excuse to lock me in the Muchun Courtyard I won't do it if I'll be a housekeeper for the rest of my life!"

Tongfang girl?And this thing!
Gu Sixiao blinked her eyes, looked at Caiyi, and unconsciously twitched her lips.

Although this Caiyi is older than her now, she is really careless, and she tells everyone about these things...

Lowering his head, Gu Sixiao stretched out his hand to clean the anti-zipi, and did not look at the open study.

"Hey, you don't want to go into the study to have a look?" The more Gu Sixiao stopped looking, the more Caiyi wanted to show off.

"Well, come in and wipe the table..." After coughing twice, Caiyi forced Gu Sixiao to go into the room to clean.

Seeing Gu Sixiao entered the room, she lowered her head and swept the floor without looking around, she couldn't help coughing, "Here, take a rag to wipe the dust - did you see, this table is made of yellow rosewood, Do you know what huanghuali wood is? Have you never heard of it? And that vase, a serious blue and white plum vase, that, but the Tang Sancai Terracotta Warriors, the one over there—be careful, it’s broken, it’s for sale You can’t afford it ten times! And these books, don’t you say you can read? You can’t count the tables in this room..."

Really, this room is full of books!
Gu Sixiao blinked, and although she didn't speak, she couldn't help but praise her in her heart.

Although Gu Yong is not a scholar who is eager to learn and is willing to calm down, there are really a lot of these books.She was in a daze, just like when her father was still using this study.

In response to Caiyi's words, Gu Sixiao's hand holding the rag was tightly squeezed.

With her gaze fixed on the bookshelf, she quietly bit her lip.

Behind the bookshelf is the dark room, where she—— died...

Her heart was beating wildly, and an inexplicable complex emotion made her hands tremble a little.

Fear, hatred, and apprehension, even at a certain moment, she still wondered if she would see her dead body when she opened the switch to reveal the secret room inside.

Naturally, it is impossible...

"Hey," Caiyi suddenly yelled, looking at her expression, pointing at her with a smile, "Are you startled? You never thought there were so many treasures in this study, did you? Let me tell you, I heard There are a lot of things here that are priceless, and the officials are very relieved to leave them to me to take care of..."

Gu Sixiao raised her eyebrows, and followed Caiyi's words: "The officials are so kind to my sister..."

Priceless?There are a lot of things in this house, all of which belong to her family. Although they are worth some money, they are not worth a lot of money.

Only those who have never seen the real treasure will believe the words of invaluable value.

Squinting her eyes and looking at Caiyi, Gu Sixiao thought to herself that the news that Caiyi was sold from a wealthy family may not be all true, right?Even if it was true, she must not be a big girl serving in front of her master, otherwise how could her vision be so low?
Of course, relatively speaking, if it was Luluo and the others, they would naturally be frightened by Caiyi's half bottle of water, but to her, it only exposed Caiyi's own shallowness.

But it's okay, such a half bottle of water is convenient for her to do things.

Seeing Caiyi turn her head, Gu Sixiao immediately stepped forward and carefully looked at the part of Buyou's mechanism.It looks like an ordinary carving, if you don't pay attention, you won't find it at all. I don't know if Gu Yong has discovered the mechanism here...

Just as she was engrossed in watching, she heard the sound of soft footsteps behind her. Gu Sixiao raised her eyebrows and turned around pretending not to know.

"Ah - I was shocked..." She patted her chest and looked at the obviously disappointed Caiyi, as if she was really taken aback.

Caiyi pursed her lips, and looked around, "What are you looking at? Ah, it's that glass bottle! Don't be mean, if you let..."

Before she could finish her sentence, someone answered outside: "What wickedness?"

"How are you, senior official!" Turning around and running over, Caiyi stared at Gu Yong who came in, his eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky.

Such eyes full of admiration are what Gu Yong loves the most, he raised his hand and pinched Caiyi's face, he moved closer, and was still waiting to speak, but Caiyi flashed.

Gently pushing Gu Yong, Caiyi smiled and said, "Officer, my lady has transferred a younger sister to wait on you, officer."

Gu Yong raised his head and saw Gu Sixiao standing with his hands down, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Is this girl sent by the lady?"

"That's right, my lady is afraid that the servants will not serve you well!" Caiyi raised the corners of her lips, and said with a smile without hesitation: "The officials know that the servants are wholeheartedly devoted to the officials, so how can they not serve them well?"

"Yes, of course I know what you want..." Fascinated by the winking eyes thrown by Caiyi, Gu Yong waved his hand, "Go out first! I want to read a book, so it's okay to wait in the study alone. enough……"

Gu Sixiao agreed, took the broom and walked out. Before he could walk out the door, Gu Yong caught sight of Gu Yong's arms around Caiyi's waist and feet, pulling him into his arms.

"Hua'er, don't run around, just stay at the gate of the courtyard..."

Rolling her eyelids, Gu Sixiao walked out of the study and led the door. Before she could leave the courtyard, she heard the woman's panting.

Looking back, reflected on the window paper, is the silhouette of hugging people.

The woman was pressed on the desk made of huanghuali wood, and the man leaned over to press it, so tightly...

With a slightly red face, Gu Sixiao snorted, turned around in a hurry, left the courtyard, closed the courtyard door, walked a little further, but came back again.

Standing at the door, watching the few people coming out from the depths of the garden, she greeted each of them with a smile.

Mrs. Zhang, who was walking in front, gave her a blank look, "It's good for you, you are assigned to serve in the back study, and you can play in the garden all day..."

"Don't dare to run around, sister Caiyi told me to be at the door..." Covering her mouth, Gu Sixiao seemed to have made a slip of the tongue, her eyes widened and she was at a loss.

Before the rude girl behind Mrs. Zhang could react, Mrs. Zhang had already spat "bah", "That vixen, what kind of tricks are you doing--you are really shameless, huh, now she is messing around, and she will suffer in the future... ..."

He took the people away and did not forget to teach the lesson: "You all also remember that after finishing the work these few days, no one is allowed to run to this side of the garden casually. If you cause trouble to the old lady, let's see how the old lady will deal with you. ..."

Gu Sixiao smiled slightly, and sat obediently on the stone steps at the door after seeing the person walking away.

When it was almost dusk, Caiyi opened the door and turned out.

"Painting, pack up, go to the kitchen to get food and come back - the official is still having dinner in the back study today - by the way, my share is cheaper for you..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Sixiao knew that Caiyi was going to eat with Gu Yong.

Gu Sixiao nodded, turned around, looked back and said: "Sister Caiyi, I just stayed at the door honestly, if Mrs. Zhang and the others talk nonsense that I ran to play, don't believe it."

Caiyi was taken aback, "Sister Zhang and the others came just now?"

"Well, just now she brought the people from the rough envoy to come here after finishing their work, and she scolded me for being lazy! I said that Sister Caiyi ordered me to guard the gate, and she scolded..."

"What are you scolding me for?" Caiyi was furious, and she couldn't help being even angrier after hearing Gu Sixiao hesitantly learned it, "Isn't she just a rude woman, and she dared to scold me behind my back—yes, she did it because of me." The lady's power is all from the same group... Hua'er, you are stupid!"

Suddenly reacting, she pointed at Gu Sixiao and scolded: "I asked you what you were doing, wouldn't you say that you were playing at the door? What did I call you—you, don't cry, I just scolded you—" Really, it's not Xiao Hua..."

He waved his hand impatiently, "It doesn't matter, you go to the kitchen first. You don't need to watch the door in the future, and when the officials don't need you to wait, you can just play around..."

Chasing Gu Sixiao away angrily, Caiyi turned her head angrily, looked across the flower and wood house, and looked into the depths of the back house.

A group of old women, she didn't believe she couldn't beat them...
