Fat, like a big cloud that can walk, everyone who used to play together called him "Gu A fat".Looking at the thinner face now, he almost couldn't cry out.

Before Lu Xingliu left, Gu Xi asked, "Are you leaving tomorrow?" Two black eyes were embedded in his pale face, and he just looked straight at him.He couldn't even look into those eyes.

Lu Xingliu said he would leave the next day, went out to find Sun Yu to borrow an umbrella, and went back to the inn.

Of course he will not leave tomorrow.Gu Xi fell like this, and he couldn't leave with peace of mind.

Of course, he really didn't know his way in this strange place.There were very few pedestrians on the road in the middle of the night, so he asked questions along the road, went around twice but returned to the door of Gu Xi's house.Lu Xingliu thought, this is either a ghost hitting a wall or God's will.

Lu Xingliu hesitantly knocked on the door, and it was Miss Sun Yu who opened the door.He said he couldn't find his way back to the inn at night and wanted to stay overnight.Miss Sun Yu agreed without hesitation, immediately pulled him in, asked the younger siblings to give up the room to bathe him, and asked the younger siblings to give up the room for him to sleep for the night.The enthusiasm made him a little overwhelmed.

Lu Xingliu repeatedly said that it was too much trouble, he said that he and Gu Xi would sleep together, and that it would be enough to go to Gu Xi's room and lay a floor on the floor.Only then did Sun Yu find a straw mat and come out.

Sun Yu said to Lu Xingliu: "You asked Axi to play the floor. He has rough skin and thick flesh. You are so expensive that you sleep on the bed."

Lu Xingliu entered the house with the straw mat in his arms, and found that Gu Xi had already fallen into a drowsy sleep.After being locked up on the mountain for several days in a row, and after so much tossing and tossing today, he should indeed be tired.

Lu Xingliu lay down on the straw mat, his mind was a little unsteady, even after several days of exhaustion, he still found it difficult to fall asleep.The rain rustled outside the window, and the occasional wind knocked on the casement.Gu Xi's breathing on the bed was steady and real.

He closed his heavy eyes, not knowing what familiar scene he was dreaming of.

……

Gu Apang was born with an obedient and deceptive appearance since he was a child.When I was a child, I had a round head, a round belly, a round buttocks, and became fat like a small ball.He loves to laugh, and when he smiles, he has white teeth and dimples, and only one eye slit can be seen.

It is said that he looks simple, honest and blessed. He does look honest, but he is weak behind his back.

The broken low wall of the academy was broken.Who did it?Lu Xingliu did it.The watermelon grown by Mr. Backyard was stolen.Who did it?Lu Xingliu did it.Mr.'s collection of books was torn.Who did it?Lu Xingliu did it.The short classmate was bullied by Gu Apang.This time it was Gu Apang who did it, right?No, it was ordered by Lu Xingliu.

After Gu Apang was caught, he patted Lu Xingliu on the shoulder, and told his husband nonsense: "Lu Xingliu is my boss, and I will help him vent his anger on anyone he dislikes. This is brotherly loyalty."

Lu Xingliu: "...Thank you."

Gu Apang is simply a bully of the academy. He used Lu Xingliu's name to bully his classmates. Obviously no one dared to provoke him. Take Lu Xingliu as a backing.

Gu Apang looks well-behaved and docile, and is easy to confuse people, while Lu Xingliu is the opposite of Gu Apang. He lost his mother since childhood, and has a colder temperament. He has a rebellious face, which looks like he will cause trouble and refuse to obey discipline. Therefore, he has taken a lot of blame for Gu Apang since he was a child.

Lu Xingliu should have turned against this kind of bastard who was keen on stabbing his brothers, but he did too much and really made Lu Xingliu angry. group.

Gu Apang often said: "We have been neighbors since we were born, and our two families are still family friends. Uncle Lu and my father planned to make a baby marriage for us, but it is a pity that I was born as a boy. Since we can't be husband and wife, we They became brothers, so my affairs are your affairs, and your affairs are still your affairs."

Lu Xingliu said: "Then I really thank you."

At that time, Uncle Gu was still the Minister of Rites of the imperial court, and Mrs. Gu had not died of illness yet.As the eldest son, Gu Apang was so spoiled that he didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth. When he was a teenager, he was idle all day long and loved to do anything wrong.For a while, Mrs. Gu was locked in the room to study because of the excessive noise.

The Gu family is the family of court officials, while the Lu family is a well-known family of merchants.At that time, Lu Xingliu, who was also the eldest son, was already learning how to do business.In summer, it was too hot to stay in the house, so he took the account books and abacus to the gazebo to check the accounts. Seven times out of ten, he would meet Gu Apang who sneaked out, and he didn't come through the main entrance.

Gu Apang was afraid that the servants at the gate of Lu's house would see and tell his mother, so they all came in over the wall.He looked chubby, but he was quite nimble. It could be said that he was as light as a swallow.After he turned into the backyard, he liked to sleep in the gazebo where Lu Xingliu settled accounts. If he didn't sleep, he would talk nonsense, which made Lu Xingliu unable to read the account book.

Lu Xingliu asked him: "If you haven't prepared well for the scientific examination, what are you going to do in the future?"

Gu Apang lay on his back, crossed his legs and said, "I'll just sleep at home and eat and wait for death. How comfortable it is. If it doesn't work, I'll just follow you. I believe that there is a boss who will eat everything, and I will definitely not let me go hungry .right?"

He turned his head to look at Lu Xingliu with a smile on his face.His two dimples are just right.Lu Xingliu blushed, lost his mind for a while, lowered his head and ignored him.He thought that Lu Xingliu thought he was noisy again and was making fun of himself, so he covered his face with the book and fell asleep.

Gu Apang didn't have the heart to study, everyone said he was worthless, and he thought he was worthless, so he was willing to dawdle like this.Later, he often ate, drank and whored with his friends... he didn't go whoring, and he didn't have the courage, but the gambling was real, and he often went to the casino for a while.

Uncle Gu also reprimanded him a few times, but Gu Fatty pretended to be sincere, but it went in from one ear to the other and went out from the right, completely ignoring him.I promised well the day before, and went to the gambling house the next day.Once, Uncle Gu was so angry that he vomited blood and fell seriously ill, but Gu Apang still didn't know how to repent.

It was after Mrs. Gu died of illness that he suddenly realized.When Mrs. Gu was dying, she asked Gu Apang to promise him to quit gambling and study hard, and cut off contact with those cronies.

Gu Apang agreed.

As the saying goes, if a prodigal son turns his head back, money is not worth it. It is not easy for Gu Apang, a prodigal son.

Gu Apang knelt in front of his mother's mourning hall for a few nights and thought about it for a few nights.After that, when he came out of the mourning hall, he went into the study room with his mother's tablet in his arms and studied diligently.At that time, Lu Xingliu had to run business with his family, and he hadn't seen him for more than half a year.

When Lu Xingliu saw him again, he had already lost weight, and his temperament had changed a lot, as if he was a different person.

At the age of 17, Gu Xi already had an elegant air, perhaps because he read a lot of books, it is inevitable that his temperament will be contaminated with a bookish air.Gu Xi is a smart person, and his literary spirit is not superficial, it's just pedantic and show off, but it's deposited in his bones.From the surface, he still has the bohemian/uninhibited temperament, free and carefree, and he is never afraid of offending people when he speaks out.

Uncle Gu didn't like his temper, and often said that his temper was too upright and unsuitable for officialdom, and wanted to sharpen his edges and corners.Lu Xingliu hopes that Gu Xi can always maintain this nature.He likes Gu Xi like this.

Lu Xingliu is one year older than Gu Xi, and at that age, the family has already planned to find a marriage for him.Lu Xingliu didn't have that kind of thought, and no one looked down on him.Erniang racked her brains to put eyeliner around him again, trying to put a concubine in his room, but he refused.

Lu Xingliu felt that he might be sick, and he dreamed of Gu Xi repeatedly in his dreams. He had dreamed of all kinds of Gu Xi.I have dreamed about Gu Apang, and I have also dreamed about Gu Xi who has become thinner, and his eyebrows and eyes are all twinkling.He calmly understood that his sleeve was completely severed.

Lu Xingliu clearly knows what he wants, but because he is so clear, sometimes he has to be confused.He didn't know whether he should keep silent for protection, or confide for protection.

Lu Xingliu thought for a long time.

In Gu Xi's year, Uncle Gu was beheaded, and the Gu family fell into ruin.Until Gu Xi finally left quietly, Lu Xingliu didn't say that phrase of liking.

……

Gu Xi's foot was injured, and it was difficult for him to walk for the first two days, so Lu Xingliu stayed for a while longer to take care of him at home.

Lu Xingliu also specially let the carrier pigeon go out, so that the accompanying servants could return home instead of accompanying them in Yinzhou, saying that he would go back in a few days.

Gu Xi asked him curiously if he would delay the date of marriage proposal if he stayed in Yinzhou.

Lu Xingliu changed his medicine, and said, "I just said it casually. It was the arrangement of my family, and it's up to me to listen or not. I'm used to being alone, and I don't want to be married and suffer for myself."

"What about your business?" Gu Xi asked.

"The silver I earned is enough for my next life, and I don't need these tens of thousands of taels."

Gu Xi thought, this might be the boss.

Gu Xi walked up and down the ground, except for going to the Yamen to record the statement about the bandits in Mingshan, he had never been to any other place, so he could only stay at home.And even if he doesn't serve the decoction himself, he still has to visit Mr. Sun every day.

After so many years, the old man has long regarded him as his own grandson.He fell ill, always felt that his time was approaching, and he couldn't let go of some things in his heart, so he pulled Gu Xi to talk, telling him to take good care of Sun Yu.

Gu Xi said: "Ayu is my younger sister. Even if you don't tell me, I will definitely take good care of her. You just need to rest in peace and recuperate."

The old man said that otherwise he would let Xiaoyu marry him.Gu Xi's face changed when he heard this, and he said vaguely for a while that he only regarded Ayu as his younger sister, and they were not suitable.

The old man was in a hurry, and it was inappropriate to ask why.Gu Xi made an excuse to boil water, and quickly asked Lu Xingliu to help him out.

Lu Xingliu was silent for a while, then said, "Miss Ayu is pretty good."

"She's pretty good, I didn't say she's not good." Gu Xi jumped like a little jumping frog.
