Chapter 19:

Of course not.
Gu Suier knew that deceiving people would not work.
No matter how round the lie is, as long as he glances at it with that kind of see-through eyes, she will be exposed immediately.
So she still lowered her head and walked into the yard like a little maid who wanted to do something wrong.
As soon as I entered, I saw the man sitting under the green bamboo.
Under the emerald green bamboo leaves, the man in a loose white robe is sitting on the bamboo chair, holding a book in his slender and beautiful hands, looking down.
He should have just bathed, and his hair has not yet dried completely. He wears a magenta jeweled wipe on his forehead, and the magenta ribbon is draped over his shoulders with long black hair, dotted on the soft white robe. .
Occasionally when the autumn wind blew up, the bamboo leaves rustled, and the corners of his white robe was quietly lifted and fell.
He gently lifted his slender fingers and opened a page.
At this moment, Gu Suier forgot to breathe.
She stood there, staring blankly at the man in front of her.
She didn't know that a man could wear a white robe so gorgeous, or that someone could have such an elegant and noble posture just sitting there.
She was stunned in her mind, just looking at him idiotically, the sky and the earth disappeared at this moment, and she herself disappeared. There is only him in this world.
"Come here." I don't know when, the man has put down his hands and raised his head to greet her.
She didn't move.
He heard it, but her feet didn't listen, she looked at him foolishly.
"Come here." The man still had the same expression, still the same tone, and said the same words.
This time Gu Suier finally returned to her soul, barely regaining some strength, raised her foot, and approached.
The man raised his head slightly, staring at her, taking a good look at her.
Gu Suier always felt that his eyes were like the water in the Black Dragon Pool behind the mountain.
But now, she realized that it didn't seem to be the case. There was fire in his eyes, and the fire burning on the cold water was so hot that it could melt people away.
Her heart shrank slowly and clearly, and she clenched her fists, not knowing what to do for a while.
On that day, his lips brushed her face.
She thought he would do something afterwards.
I was looking forward to it.
Because of anticipation, as soon as I get close to her, my heart beats pounding.
But then she found out that he had done nothing.
It was as if that day didn't exist at all, as if it was just a coincidence that his lips brushed her face.
The hot eyes looked at her, her face was burning, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at him again.
"Wipe my hair." The man turned his gaze back, looking at the swaying green bamboo, and said in a low voice.
His voice is different from the usual coldness, and now he is a little dumb, as if he just woke up.
"Ok."
Gu Suier only discovered a handful of Hanyang white towel hanging next to her. She took it and wiped his hair carefully, separating it by strands, wiping them dry, and combing them.
It was almost done. Gu Suier looked at Xiao Heng carefully, only to see that he closed his eyes slightly, not knowing whether he was asleep or awake.
She didn't know what to do, so she stood there, afraid to disturb him.
Who knew that his figure moved slightly, and he touched her on the side of his face.
His face just touched her stomach, and his jet black hair pressed tightly to her waist.
Gu Suier's body was a little stiff at the beginning, and her sudden movements made her wonder what to do, but then slowly slowed down, and she looked down.
Men are very good-looking, so she doesn't know how to describe his good-looking to others.
She always thinks of the snow in winter, holding it in her hand, the clean beauty, the cold beauty, maybe this is the feeling Xiao Heng gave her.
At this moment, the little tadpole in his stomach arched, as if turning over.
Xiao Heng seemed to feel it, and stopped moving at that moment.
The little tadpole in his stomach gently kicked Xiao Heng in the face.
Xiao Heng didn't move at first, but then rubbed his face.
Across the belly, Gu Suier really felt that the father and son were hitting me with you, one rubbing against the outside, and the other kicking and kicking inside.
She stared down at him, his eyelashes hung down with her eyes closed, her eyebrows were slightly curled, and she concentrated.
In fact, she was a little tired at this waist, but she bit her lip and tried to endure it.
He seems to like this very much, and the tadpoles also like it.
At this moment, Xiao Heng raised his hand, gently wrapped her waist, and supported her body.
The wind blew his black hair, and purple silk ribbons fluttered in front of her. She looked at him motionlessly on her belly.
She felt that she could stand like this for a long time, for a lifetime.
"Why doesn't it move?" Xiao Heng suddenly asked in a dumb voice.
"...Maybe tired." Gu Suier guessed.
"Ok."
After a low mumble, he said nothing, got up, took her hand, and walked to the study.
After walking a few steps, he saw the clothes on her, and his eyes stopped for a moment.
She was guilty and avoided his eyes.
"Huh?" He raised his eyebrows.
"I was wrong..." She confessed her mistake quickly and said in a low voice.
Xiao Heng watched her obediently admit her mistake, but didn't say anything, and led her into the house.
He wants to check her literacy progress.
First, take out the words taught to her recently and let her identify them one by one, and she read them all in a low voice.
He didn't say anything, but Gu Suier knew that he had read it right.
Xiao Heng asked Yanmo to practice calligraphy.
After learning such a period, her handwriting has already looked a little bit, although she is still raw and immature, but after all she has written it correctly, she can also write dozens of characters.
Xiao Heng took out another book of poems and read it to her. According to Xiao Heng, this is a collection of poems compiled in the previous dynasty. She slowly learned to read and listened to Xiao Heng's explanation.
In fact, she didn’t quite understand it. There were deserts and sands in it, all with swords shining on Kyushu. She didn’t know what the desert looked like, let alone what the sword looked like. As for where Kyushu is, neither understand.
But she still memorized it seriously.
Xiao Heng occasionally praised her lightly: "You learn quickly."
She shook her head hurriedly: "I'm too stupid."
Xiao Heng glanced at her, did not speak, but walked to the bookshelf and took another book of poems: "Remember this all again."
Gu Suier's shoulders suddenly drooped.
She managed to memorize one book, but there is another one?
Xiao Jin was looking forward to going to Guiyuan, and came back and forth to listen to Zhuyuan many times.
Sometimes in fact, Xiao Heng was not at home at all, and Xiao Jin came over, just sat there bored, talking to Gu Suier, occasionally standing at the gate of the yard, admiring bamboo, reading books, and even teasing cats and dogs.
Recently, the women's school was temporarily closed, and she had enough time to come over to listen to Zhuyuan.
At the beginning, Gu Suier was cautiously entertaining, for fear that the eldest lady Xiao Jin would be dissatisfied, but then she always had a vague feeling.
In fact, Xiao Jin came to listen to the Bamboo Garden not to come to play with him, but for other reasons.
But what else is it?
After all, sometimes, Xiao Heng is not at home.
Standing in the yard, Gu Suier looked at the listening to the bamboo garden, but still couldn't find anything that might make characters like Xiao Jin like it.
In the end she can only think, maybe she just prefers those bamboos, after all, doesn't she like the bamboo handkerchiefs she embroidered?
Just thinking about it, I saw that figure not far away, Jiang Zheng.
Since some time ago, the two guards of Xiao Heng have not entered the yard, but have been waiting outside. Later, even if Xiao Heng was not at home, there was always someone standing outside who was the gatekeeper?
Today’s shift is Jiang Zheng.
Jiang Zheng and Xiao Heng were about the same figure, standing straight in the distance, without moving their eyes.
Looking at Jiang Zheng in front of him, Gu Suier suddenly remembered those things about her in the country.
It was Jiang Zheng who brought her out of the village and Jiang Zheng who sent her to the mansion. It can be said that when she saw Jiang Zheng, she remembered the way she came.
Jiang Zheng seemed to feel her gaze, bowed to her respectfully, and then continued to look straight.
Gu Suier smiled and went back to the room with her belly in her hands.
She discovered that apart from still thinking about her parents and younger brother, in fact, she had gradually forgotten that part of the road.
In the expectation that Xiao Jin came to listen to the walks of Zhuyuan from time to time, the day to go to Guiyuan finally arrived.
On the first day of departure, Mother An was busy.
She began to prepare all kinds of soft mattresses, spittoons, etc., and said that the weather was cold enough to prepare a hand warmer, and to keep warm without freezing the little lady.
Gu Suier's belly is no longer small, and she walks awkwardly. She felt that she had better not go. However, he raised a mouth with Xiao Heng, but he didn't care about it at all.
It seems...must go.
Gu Suier started to pack up and prepare herself. She found that it was really troublesome for a woman with a big belly to go out. She had to toss for a long time and got ready before going to sleep.
Early the next morning, a large carriage drove into the vicinity of Tingzhu Garden, Jiang Zheng and Hu Tie were both waiting beside them.
Mother An took a group of maids to wait on Gu Suier into the carriage.
As soon as she went up, Mother An couldn't like it anymore: "This carriage is spacious, and it's more spacious than ordinary ladies in the house."
At this time, Hu Tie outside heard this, and said, "Mother, I am afraid I don't know it. The third master got this specially. It is spacious and stable, so it won't be bumpy."
Jiang Zheng was a real man, not too fond of talking, so he winked at Hu Tie, Hu Tie hurriedly withdrew, and stood aside as a wooden man and stopped talking.
Mother An was even more happy, and whispered to Gu Suier secretly: "Little madam, the third master is very kind to you."
Gu Suier also felt that Xiao Heng was kind to herself, her face was red, her lips pressed and her stomach was pressed, all she thought was Xiao Heng.
Mother An still smiled: "Blessed is my old lady following the little lady!"
With that said, she asked the maid Jingyue to wait on the carriage with Yaoguang while Yaoguang stayed at home to watch the door. As for the treasure ducks and golden mallards, naturally she stayed at home.
Baoya Jinmo stood there eagerly, rather disliked it, but did not dare to say anything.
Since that time Xiao Heng embarrassed them because of Gu Suier's affairs, they have been more respectful in front of Gu Suier.
After the carriage went out of Tingzhuyuan, the door was opened all the way, and even the threshold was removed, so that Gu Suier didn't have to get off the carriage.
After walking out of two doors, Lu Qingyi and Xiao Xu were coming.
Lu Qingyi did not bring the maid, but Xiao Xu did.
"I'm watching the second elder sister lead a maid, and sister-in-law, you have to take it here if you are pregnant, for fear that you won't be able to sit in the carriage.
Gu Suier was grateful for Lu Qingyi's thoughtfulness, and said with a smile: "This carriage is spacious and can be seated."
Lu Qingyi saw that it was spacious, bigger than the car in her house.
When everyone got in the car, Gu Suier, Lu Qingyi, leaned against the left window, Xiao Xu and Mother An leaned against the right window, and Xiao Xu’s maids, Mei Hong and Qingyue, waited in the back, taking care of the tea, handing water and getting things.
There are a total of six women's houses, and the carriage is very rich, and it doesn't feel crowded at all.
When the carriage left the house and walked on the road, it was really safe.
When Gu Suier was in the countryside, he had only ridden in bullock carts and donkey carts. The roads were so bumpy and incomparable with this kind of carriage.
She sat here comfortably, enjoying Mother An's attentive service, but suddenly remembered something.
"Is this carriage leaving the Hou Mansion?"
"Yes, this is the south gate of the Hou Mansion." Lu Qingyi said with a smile; "Look, there is the main entrance, but the main entrance is generally not open."
Gu Suier looked over from the car curtain, and it was true that this street seemed to have known each other before, as if it was really the way Jiang Zheng brought her here.
She has been here for more than a month, and now is the first time she has left the Hou Mansion.
"This is all out of the Hou Mansion, why didn't the big girl come up?" She wondered, it was Xiao Jin who was looking forward to going to Guiyuan most.
"She, ride a horse!"
"Huh? Horse riding?"
This is something Gu Suier didn't expect.
"Well, Xiao Jin loves riding horses. She usually rides with her cousin when she goes out. Now there are three cousins ​​with her. Of course she doesn't want to squeeze in the carriage with us."
"such……"
Gu Suier looked out of the curtain and saw that one of the people in front of him was Xiao Jin.
She wore a different dress today than in the past. She lacked cumbersome skirts and was neat and refreshing. She rode a bordeaux horse by Xiao Heng's side, looking at her different heroism.
"The big girl is really amazing." She couldn't help feeling: "She is different from our ordinary women."
"What's the big deal, we can ride too, but we are not as ostentatious as her!" Xiao Xu interrupted suddenly, quite disdainful.
Lu Qingyi glanced at Xiao Xu, did not care about her, laughed lightly, and then explained slowly: "When our great ancestors, we have set up a school for girls and allowed women to ride and shoot arrows. Although this trend has not been as good over the years. In the past, most of the women were at home with husbands and children, and they traveled by carriages, but most of them were able to ride horses. It’s not bad to ride once in a while."
Only then did Gu Suier understand: "It turns out that way."
Lu Qingyi and Xiao Xu can also ride horses, but as women, they should be careful about everything and would not ride with their brother.
The carriage continued to move forward, and when it was about to turn at the entrance of the alley, the curtain swayed, and Gu Suier looked outside through the curtain.
I saw Xiao Heng riding in the middle.
Xiao Heng is wearing an indigo robe today, with his feet leaning on the horse drums forcefully, holding the reins in one hand, and he is so heroic.
She was watching quietly, Xiao Heng suddenly looked back and looked over here.
She was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly lowered the curtain and hid in the carriage.
