Concubine's true colors

Chapter 139 The Gu Brothers and Sisters
As soon as she left Prince Rui's mansion, Xiao Jinxuan saw Wen Xin driving the carriage outside, waiting for her.

After the two got together, Wen Xin first asked a few questions with concern, and seeing Xiao Jinxuan's normal expression, she finally let go of her heart.

"Jinxuan, it's time for us to go back home. After all, if we haven't returned all night, it would be bad if we were found out."

Xiao Jinxuan was helped into the carriage, and after she sat firmly, she replied softly:

"Don't worry, it's still early in the morning. It's easier to attract attention if you go back so early. When it's noon, let's go back directly from the main gate of the commander's mansion. Let's say that we left early today. Because the gate was not open, we walked by the side door. With Jin Chuan's help at that time, I think it won't show my feet."

Wen Xin naturally understood Xiao Jinxuan's meaning. He smiled and thought it was a good idea. He immediately drove his horse to the street and asked again:
"Since we're not in a hurry to go back, where should we go now? We can't just hang out on the street all the time."

Hearing these words, Xiao Jinxuan thought for a while, and then said: "Go to the Golden Study, if you can come across a few orphan scrolls, then this trip will be worth it."

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan talking and laughing freely, it was as if the crying out of control last night had never happened.But the more Wen Xin saw how calm she was, the more uneasy she felt.

"Jinxuan, are you really okay? If you feel uncomfortable, don't suppress it, otherwise you will get sick."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan poked her head out from behind the car curtain, and then slapped Wenxin hard on the shoulder.

"You can't wait for me to order, okay, I cried and cried yesterday, and I was drunk, but I have to go on this day, don't worry, I'm fine, everything is over, and this kind of thing will never happen again .”

After Xiao Jinxuan finished speaking with a smile, she retreated into the carriage again, but the moment her face was blocked by the curtain, the smile on her mouth disappeared.

Closing her eyes in pain, she sighed silently. In fact, Xiao Jinxuan was just acting free and easy, and she couldn't really let go deep in her heart.

However, after this incident, Xiao Jinxuan also resigned to her fate. In the past, if she still had a chance, she felt that the so-called abandonment of love might not really harm others or herself.

But now that Zhou Xianyu was seriously injured, she couldn't help but believe that there was indeed a giant net binding her in the dark, as long as she dared to take a step over the thunder pool, the giant net would suddenly tighten, not only would it strangle her She suffocated to death, and would drag the person she admired alive into the abyss of death.

So she is so calm now, but she has sealed her heart for the next time. If she refused to accept Zhou Xianyu before, it was because she was too disappointed in her feelings in her previous life, so she lost confidence and was always afraid of being hurt. harm.

Now she decided to draw a clear line with Zhou Xianyu again, in order to protect the other party and not suffer any accidents because of her.

As for herself, Xiao Jinxuan was reborn for revenge, and if she hadn't encountered Zhou Xianyu's change, she would never have considered remarrying at all.

Therefore, she decided to bury the feelings between each other deeply in her heart from now on, as long as Zhou Xianyu is safe and sound, even if she is depressed and suffering, she will be happy with it, without complaint or regret!
Xiao Jinxuan was bored in the carriage, thinking with a lonely expression, after a short while, the Golden Bookstore arrived.

Gathering up her emotions, Xiao Jinxuan got out of the carriage, and then walked in with Wen Xin.

After being reborn, Xiao Jinxuan loved reading very much, so seeing the three-story study room filled with all kinds of books, she looked around, and even the depression in her heart just now dissipated a lot.

But Wen Xin didn't think that his adoptive father was a scholar, but he was not interested in reading by nature. If his mother hadn't forced him to read and write, Wen Xin might have been illiterate.

So for a person who doesn't like books, entering the study will be a kind of torture. After a while, Wen Xin will have a lot of hacks, and his eyelids will become more and more heavy.

Being extremely bored, he picked up a book casually, flipped through it twice, and muttered:
"There are indeed a lot of books in this study, but the writing on the plaque is too vulgar. It's still a golden study. The stench of copper is so strong that it doesn't look like a place selling books."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan, who was walking in front, couldn't help but burst out laughing, and turned her head to give Wenxin a funny look.

"Seeing that you don't like reading on weekdays, I don't think that what you said is really incisive and vivid, and it hits the nail on the head."

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan actually agreed with her own statement, Wen Xin became more energetic now, immediately hummed twice, and said triumphantly:
"That's not true. I don't understand reading, but I am familiar with gold. It's also the best study in the capital. It's so vulgar."

After saying this, Wen Xin put her hands behind her back, shaking her head and shaking her head, Xiao Jinxuan covered her mouth and laughed lightly.

In fact, Wenxin was deliberately trying to make Xiao Jinxuan laugh, but it was obvious that Xiao Jinxuan laughed at his behavior, but it also made others unable to stand it anymore.

Just as Wen Xin's voice fell, a man in green shirt suddenly walked out from the side of the bookshelf.

This man was dressed in a bamboo-patterned blue silk gown, holding a booklet in his hand, his brows were refined, full of bookishness, and his expression was full of scholarly temperament.

And as soon as this person walked in front of Wenxin, he bowed politely, and then said in a persuasive tone:
"You must stop talking nonsense about what this brother is just now. The name of this study is gold, which means a thousand taels of gold, and it is hardly worth ten thousand volumes of poems and books. It means copper stink."

Wen Xin stared blankly at the man in the blue shirt, how could he think that a joke of his own would provoke a lecture from this man.

Although he was usually articulate, he didn't have a lot of ink in his stomach. Seeing the man in the green shirt, every sentence was full of great truth, and he was speechless for a while, and he had no power to resist.

But when Wen Xin was questioned, her expression was full of embarrassment, and Xiao Jinxuan who was on the side couldn't stand it anymore.

Xiao Jinxuan's temperament was extremely protective after her rebirth, so even if the man in the blue shirt was right, she would not see Wenxin being criticized like this.

And the most important point is that she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what Wen Xin just said.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan took a step forward, protected Wenxin behind her, and then gave a blessing to the man in the blue shirt with a smile.

"This young master is very eloquent. Presumably he must be a man of great talent and learning. As the saying goes, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book. I think the young master must know what this means."

The man in the blue shirt saw that Wen Xin was silent, but the woman next to him stepped forward to ask questions, and immediately returned a salute in a hurry, thinking about the difference between men and women, and couldn't care less about answering, so he quickly lowered his head, for fear of looking directly at him. Xiao Jinxuan seemed too rude.

Seeing that he was silent, Xiao Jinxuan didn't have these pedantic scruples, and immediately continued:
"The original meaning of these two sentences is that as long as you study hard, you will get gold and beauties once you study hard, and you will be able to get gold and beauties, and live a life that others envy. I don't know if my explanation is wrong. .”

After staring at Xiao Jinxuan in astonishment, the man hurriedly lowered his head again, coughed twice in embarrassment, but still bowed and replied:

"Miss is right. These two sentences really mean that."

Hearing these words, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help nodding her head, and a sly look suddenly flashed in her eyes.

"Since the young master said that what I explained was not wrong, then these two sentences are so philistine, and the word "gold" in them is full of vulgarity, so why is there anything wrong with what my friend said just now?"

The man in the green shirt opened his mouth. He really wanted to tell Xiao Jinxuan that the gold on the plaque in this study did not mean the same as the gold she mentioned, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by someone first. up.

Suddenly, behind the man in the green shirt, came another girl wearing an apricot red gauze embroidered skirt.

Seeing this woman, her eyes are like flowing waves, her eyebrows are like two willows, and her temperament is like a girl from the south of the Yangtze River.

And as soon as the girl came close, she smiled and took the man's wrist in green, and then said softly:

"Brother said he would accompany me to go shopping, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye. Qing Ge knew that you must have come to the study, but he didn't expect you to be chatting with Miss Jinxuan. Could it be that the two of you have known each other for a long time?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but looked at the girl in surprise, wondering how the other party knew her.

And the woman saw her doubts, immediately gave a blessing, and said with a smile:

"I'm afraid Miss Jinxuan won't recognize me. My surname is Gu, my name is Qingge. My father is Gu Yizhou, Minister of the Household Department. The last time I went to the Guanyin Academy, I accompanied my mother. That's why I met you, Miss Jinxuan."

When Xiao Jinxuan heard the words, she hurriedly returned the gift. When she was in the Guanyin Academy, she was only concerned with scheming and scheming, and she really didn't go around with the daughters of Beppu much, so she didn't have the slightest impression of Gu Qingge.

But at this time, the man in the blue shirt, after learning of Xiao Jinxuan's identity, actually bowed to her and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that Miss is the one, the daughter of the Xiao family who made great contributions to the snow disaster. I, Gu Qingping, have offended me just now. I hope Miss Jinxuan will not be offended."

Seeing that Gu Qingping was adhering to etiquette, Xiao Jinxuan smiled embarrassedly.

"Young Master Gu, don't say that. It's just a small talk. It's rude to offend you."

After saying this, Xiao Jinxuan looked outside, seeing that it was time to go back home, she couldn't help giving a blessing, and said goodbye to the Gu brothers and sisters and left.

After her figure got into the carriage and disappeared into the crowd, Gu Qingping, who personally escorted her out of the study, still stood there without moving a single step.

Seeing his elder brother's appearance, Lu Qingge couldn't help chuckling, and said playfully:
"The beauty has gone far away, and my brother is still so out of his mind. Could it be that you fell in love at first sight and fell in love with her?"

After being teased by his sister, Gu Qingping finally recovered, and then his whole face flushed red, and he hurriedly said in embarrassment:
"Stop talking nonsense, Ge'er. Miss Jinxuan is a woman who has not left the court. If you let others hear your words, it will damage her reputation. Brother just appreciates her eloquence, cleverness and eloquence. But without any extravagant thoughts.”

Seeing that Gu Qingping was really in a hurry, Gu Qingge quickly stopped laughing, and hurriedly accompanied the wrong one and said:
"Brother, don't worry, Qing Ge was joking with you, let's hurry up and go shopping, the purse I need to sew is still short of more than half of what I need."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingping looked at the younger sister with pity, and then said with a sigh:
"You, after my father came back from court a few days ago, as soon as he said that the royal king wanted to return to the court, you couldn't wait to embroider a purse. You have to embroider a purse for this prince every time he triumphs, but After so many years, they have not confiscated half of them, my silly sister, you are seventeen now, do you really plan to never marry for the sake of that Zhou Xianyu, and you will not be able to be an old girl for the rest of your life?"

Sadness flashed across Lu Qingge's eyes, but then he walked forward with a smile, and said with anticipation:
"Brother, you have been persuading me for more than ten years, stop nagging now, Qing Ge believes that one day His Highness will see me in his eyes and understand my feelings for him. It's important to buy fabric, let's go quickly."

Seeing his younger sister looking at him coquettishly, Gu Qingping shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to follow behind her and walked into the noisy street again.
