The little petite bag of the fourth master of Qingchuan

Chapter 180
In the early hours of the morning, the snow outside the house broke the branches in the yard - the dead branches fell to the ground with a "click".

This sound woke Gu Yaoyao awake.

She turned over, rubbed her eyes with her hands, and was about to continue sleeping when she suddenly felt empty around her.

The fourth elder brother is no longer by her side.

He was facing away from the bed, silently looking out the window in a daze.

Gu Yaoyao lost all sleepiness immediately, sat up from the bed, put on her clothes, and wanted to put on her shoes and get out of bed, but the fourth elder brother heard the movement, turned around and forced a smile at Gu Yaoyao.

The ground outside the window has been covered with a piece of white—although there is no moon in the sky, the snow reflects light, which looks like the dawn light.

The courtyard was silent.

Gu Yaoyao knew that the fourth elder brother was sad, but she tried her best not to show it.

She didn't say anything, she put on her shoes, got up, took a coat from the hanger at the side, and went to put it on for the fourth elder brother.

Although the room was warmed by the hot tub, but the window was outside after all—it was still cold.

After Gu Yaoyao put on the clothes for him, she couldn't help but hugged her arms and rubbed them gently.

The fourth elder brother sighed imperceptibly, stretched out his hand to hold Gu Yaoyao's hand, and hugged her in his arms.

The two of them didn't say anything, just cuddled together, watching the falling snow outside the window.

After a while, the fourth elder brother said softly: "Several things have happened in the mansion this year, I hope next year..."

Gu Yaoyao thought to herself: Isn't it?

First it was the matter of Bian Gege, then it was Brother Hongyi who was limping, and finally it was Big Gege...

The fourth elder brother didn't say any more, just hugged Gu Yaoyao's arm tightly, and said in a rough voice: "Go back, you are weak, you can't be so cold."

After he finished speaking, he noticed that Gu Yaoyao was not wearing socks on her feet, so he bent down and hugged her up—walked to the side of the bed and put her down.

The quilt was still warm, Gu Yaoyao rolled into the quilt, and moved aside.

Leave it to the fourth elder brother.

She only realized it after doing this action - the fourth elder brother always rushed to enter the palace early in the morning, and with the time for washing and getting ready, he probably wouldn't sleep much.

Just as Gu Yaoyao put down the quilt, she raised her hand again.

...Oh, no!
Now because of the pox in the mansion, the fourth elder brother can't go to the Forbidden City.

Seeing her lifting the quilt for a while and putting it down for a while, the fourth elder brother couldn't help but smiled, stretched out his hand and squeezed her chin: "I can't sleep well, what kind of trick is this?"

After he finished speaking, he kissed her lightly on the forehead.

The servant outside heard the movement inside - he thought it was the master who was about to get up, so he came over and asked quietly at the door if he wanted to bring in hot water for washing.

It was rejected by the fourth elder brother.

No matter how warm the room is, it is incomparable to the hot quilt.

Gu Yaoyao hid half of his face in the quilt, and saw him take off his outer robe, and then came to the couch.

This time, neither of them felt sleepy anymore.

Thinking of the sadness of losing Da Gege—the fourth elder brother suddenly understood in his heart the heartache of Concubine De: she was still very lowly at the time, and was not qualified to raise the prince.

The fourth elder brother who was clearly born after struggling desperately was sent to be raised by other concubines by the Lord Long Live in the blink of an eye.

For her, this pain is not much less than the real loss of a child.

All the pain, there is no empathy - unless you experience it yourself.

The fourth elder brother lay silently on the pillow, unable to tell what it was like.

Gu Yaoyao knew that he was feeling uncomfortable, so she leisurely changed the topic again, and after asking a few words, the conversation started.

The fourth elder brother simply told her about the gossip of his childhood.

Although he was taciturn, he was actually very eloquent, and he could say a simple thing with wit and wit, and Gu Yaoyao listened with great interest.

In the end, the two of them actually talked about the bright sun.

Dailan and Erman came in to serve, and they were naturally happy when they saw the master holding Gege's hand and looking like he couldn't finish talking.

Gege is trying to distract the master's attention.

It's just like this--the master is trapped in the mansion and cannot get out, and Fujin is pregnant, so it is not easy to serve him; Li Fangfu Jin puts his heart on the eldest brother, Guo Gege's heavy makeup that day angered the master , and even with Qin Qiuzhai's other princesses, the master didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Now it is Gege who wins the master's heart the most.

When the master is happy, whoever stays with him does not necessarily mean who is favored.

But when the master is sad, who needs to be by his side - that's a big difference.

Staying here with Gu Yaoyao until almost noon, the fourth elder brother left.

After going to Fujin Main Courtyard for a brief lunch, the fourth elder brother went back to the study in the front yard and took a rest.

……

This great epidemic is coming fiercely. Thanks to the previous experience of the imperial court and all levels of government, although they are prepared in full battle, they are not panicked.

Finally, at the beginning of April, the epidemic began to show a trend of being brought under control.

Because in the mansion, only two servants who were born to serve beside Da Gege were infected, and they were sent out of the mansion long ago. After a while, the fourth elder brother was finally able to go to the palace to face the saint.

Although Kangxi couldn't help but feel sour about Da Gege's matter, he was much less sad than the fourth elder brother.

After all, he had too many sons and daughters, and even more grandchildren.

What's more, children are just growing up, and they change every half a year. If they haven't seen each other for two or three years, they won't be able to recognize them.

Da GeGe's small face and name, he couldn't match it at all.

Concubine De copied a lot of Buddhist scriptures, and she shed tears - after all, Da Gege and Hongqin both came to Yonghe Palace before and played around her knees.

……

In Sibeile's mansion, Song Gege lost weight day by day.

Outside the window is the red flowers and willows, and the beautiful spring weather. She is lying on the bed, but she is like a body that has been deprived of energy.

As the matter of Da Gege gradually faded away, she gradually became an existence forgotten by everyone in the house.

Kou Lan, who was beside Song Gege, spent her life and sent a purse to Dai Lan - she just begged that one day, if Song Gege was gone, she would be able to come to Gu Gege to serve her.

Even if she is a second-class maid—following Gu Gege, she still has a bright future.

Baylor's mansion is rich, and the maids who are used to here may not all be willing to leave the mansion if they are under the age.

Dai Lan confiscated her things, and told Gu Yaoyao all the things, and said that although Kou Lan's words were very euphemistic, the implication in her words was very clear: Song Gege may not survive this month, so he should do it sooner. Intend.

Gu Yaoyao felt desolate for Song Gege when she heard it.

It happened that Wu Gege came to see her, so the two of them went to Song Gege's yard together.
