Cai Changting went out in a hurry, but came back in a good mood.

Gu Qingzhou had dinner in front of Mrs. Hirano, and Shiro Hirano was at the station. The two of them ate silently, except for a slight noise when the chopsticks touched the porcelain plate.

After dinner, Mrs. Hirano chatted with Gu Qingzhou, and Cai Changting came back at this time.

Counting the time, he went out for exactly three hours.

"Madam, the plum blossoms you asked for have been picked." He said to Madam Hirano.

Soon, a servant came in with two large plum bottles and inserted two bright and dripping plums.

The plum branches are cut very artistically, sparse and reclining, each with its own charm.

The light plum fragrance lingers in the house.

"Qingzhou, I also gave it to you, but it's a small bottle, put it on the table." Cai Changting said.

Gu Qingzhou asked, "You went out so late to pick plum blossoms?"

Mrs. Hirano stood up, walked around the plum bottle gently, picked a sprig, and played with it in the palm of her hand.

The plum branches are tan, and the palm of her palm is as white as jade, which is striking against the background. The red plums dotted on the plum branches are even more beautiful, as bright as blood.

Mrs. Hirao raised her eyes and answered Gu Qingzhou's words for Cai Changting: "I told him to go."

They were both in a good mood.

Gu Qingzhou didn't know what to do, his expression was soft and quiet, and his expression remained calm.

It always feels like they have accomplished something.

However, what was going on and what it had to do with Gu Qingzhou, she couldn't guess for a while.

"The flowers are very good." Mrs. Hirano said to Cai Changting with satisfaction, "Changting does things neatly and decisively."

Thank you Cai Changting.

It was getting late, and Mrs. Hirano yawned as she said that the plum blossoms were very good and that she could paint tomorrow.

Gu Qingzhou got up and said goodbye.

Cai Changting still sent her.

On the way, when Cai Changting talked about Lamei, he told Gu Qingzhou a story.

"My winter plums were picked from Chengxu Temple next to Sanqing Temple outside the city. Do you know that allusion?" Cai Changting asked her.

Gu Qingzhou said, "I've never heard of Chengxuguan."

"...There is a plum forest in Chengxuguan, which does not bloom in winter. It has to wait until around the tenth day of the first lunar month before the garden is fully bloomed overnight." Cai Changting said.

Gu Qingzhou asked: "Did the special underground temperature over there cause the delay in blooming?"

Cai Changting was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Qingzhou, you are not romantic. I said there are allusions, you have to be so pale."

Many beautiful legends, in front of science, take off their gorgeous robes and reveal their plain original appearance, which will be disappointing.

Gu Qingzhou tucked his hands into the pockets of his coat and said, "Go on, I won't interrupt."

Cai Changting really took the above words.

He told Gu Qingzhou an allusion.

The allusions are very tacky, that is, between men and women, men fail women, and women curse the plum garden. Every year on the tenth day of the first lunar month, which is the day of her death, the grievances come out and cry blood, so the garden is full of plum blossoms, and the cherry blossoms are red like blood.

Cai Changting came slowly, and his voice was pleasant.

After Gu Qingzhou heard it, he didn't say anything.

Cai Changting asked her, "If your husband also breaks his oath and finds another new love, will you be like that woman, preferring to be broken?"

Gu Qingzhou said, "No."

"Why?"

"My husband will not betray his oath," she said.

Cai Changting: "..."

"Changting, you are vicious and cruel, how can you still believe in such an allusion? Even the storyteller is embarrassed to mention such a vulgar plot." Gu Qingzhou said again.

Cai Changting smiled and finally said, "Do you think I'm cruel?"

"Are not you?"

"Although I'm not, it's an honor for me to get such an evaluation from you." Cai Changting said, "Qingzhou, love is beautiful, and no matter how bad the story is, it has its beauty."

"You can tell this story, it's very intriguing, where is it beautiful?" Gu Qingzhou asked him.

Does he like this kind of perverted love?

When it comes to love, Gu Qingzhou thinks of Aheng.

Did Cai Changting ever fall in love with Ah Heng? Gu Qingzhou couldn't judge that Cai Changting was a fan, and he was not stained with tackiness.

Even if he told the most vulgar stories, it still carried an otherworldly mood. Gu Qingzhou was a little jealous to belittle him.

Soon he arrived at the gate of Gu Qingzhou's courtyard.

Gu Qingzhou looked at the gate of the lower courtyard subconsciously.

I saw it when I went out in the morning. There were no flowers on the courtyard gate, but she thought too much.

Looking back now, there will be no more.

Cai Changting's remarks today are mindless, making Gu Qingzhou unpredictable.

She waited.

When she entered the door, Cai Changting kept sending her to the steps, and suddenly said, "It's so good."

"Which is good?"

"I can take you back, it's been a long time since this, very good." Cai Changting said.

Gu Qingzhou went to see him.

In his exquisite eyes, there is a kind of arrogance that is determined to win, but it is only for a moment.

The eyes are very complicated, and I am not a person I am very familiar with. It is a bit difficult to capture very accurate information.

Gu Qingzhou was puzzled by Cai Changting's eyes. When she looked at him again, his smile was clean and flawless, like a well-behaved and gentle brother.

Gu Qingzhou paused in his heart.

"Thank you." Gu Qingzhou said.

"I'm happy to do so." Cai Changting said, "Qingzhou, we can't do without you, I'm willing to do anything for you."

we......

Gu Qingzhou smiled: "Put your hopes on others, and you will be easily disappointed. Chang Ting, I know that you will never have only me, and you will never be without me."

When she spoke, she was already up the steps.

Cai Changting stepped down a step, so he raised his face slightly to see her face.

"It is difficult to gain your trust." Cai Changting seemed to sum up.

Gu Qingzhou was noncommittal.

She didn't say anything else, just said good night and went back to the room.

After going back, thinking about Cai Changting's words carefully, he always felt that he was misleading her and misleading her thinking away from his purpose.

What the **** is going on?

Gu Qingzhou thought, Mrs. Hirano just admitted her identity. It's an open acknowledgment, not a specious ambiguity, then they definitely need something.

"What secret is buried behind it?" Gu Qingzhou became more and more curious.

She thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't figure it out.

The next morning, Gu Qingzhou went to see Ye Wu as usual, and then spent time with Ye Wu.

Governor Ye went home at noon and took a telegram to Gu Qingzhou.

"Si Xingpei made it." Ye Dujun said.

The telegram sent by Si Xingpei used a password, and the password book was in the safe in his yard.

Gu Qingzhou said, "I'll go back first."

When I got home, Erbao was not there, so I went to the Kang's house to accompany Kang Han, and I heard that he was living in the Kang's house.

The servants and adjutants guarded the gate.

Gu Qingzhou went upstairs, found the codebook, and began to decipher Si Xingpei's message.

The message was brief.

After reading it, Gu Qingzhou frowned slightly and thought, "Is this the plan of Mrs. Hirano and Cai Changting? Is their purpose just to separate me and Si Xingpei?"

She doesn't feel like it again.

Gu Qingzhou pondered for a moment, read Si Xingpei's telegram repeatedly, and then went to Governor Ye's side.

"Overseer, please help me return two telegrams." Gu Qingzhou took the telegram to Governor Ye.

One was on the bright side, and Gu Qingzhou wrote five simple words: "Bring people to me."

The other one is the password.

The password was much more complicated and messy and long, and Dujun Ye couldn't understand it, so he nodded.

At the same time he asked, "Who did you catch?"

"You will know soon." Gu Qingzhou said.

After saying that, she smiled mysteriously, smiling maliciously, causing Du Jun Ye to frown.

At dusk, when Dujun Ye finished his government affairs, he received a telegram from Si Xingpei.

There are also secret intelligence exchanges between him and Si Xingpei, so they also have a codebook.

Si Xingpei wrote a telegram to him with a password. The matter was very serious, and Dujun Ye immediately went to investigate.

After finding out the telegram and reading the content, Governor Ye wanted to scold his mother.

It happened that Gu Qingzhou was still with Ye Wu.

Ye Dujun sent someone to call Gu Qingzhou and asked her, "Is it your idea? You two are so daring and don't take my life seriously?"

"Overseer, there will be no danger, you can rest assured." Gu Qingzhou said.

Ye Dujun wanted to slap her.

It's about to shoot, how can there be no danger?

"Tell me honestly, who do you want Si Xingpei to bring here? Make it clear, otherwise I won't cooperate with you, you can play by yourself." Ye Dujun said ruthlessly.

Gu Qingzhou was embarrassed.

Ye Dujun stood up and called his adjutant to see off the guest.

Gu Qingzhou said: "Overseer, we are just asking you to do a little favor."

"You are quite busy." Ye Dujun said.

Gu Qingzhou had no choice but to tell him the truth.

Ye Dujun felt that they made a big fuss, and even put the cart before the horse. Since he has caught someone, he can be tortured and interrogated by himself, so why do you have to involve Ye Dujun?

Doing so is dangerous, and it may be worth the loss.

"Overseer, please do me a favor." Gu Qingzhou said.

Ye Dujun asked Gu Qingzhou, and his own body also depended on Gu Qingzhou's medicine.

And Gu Qingzhou also said that his illness did not happen overnight, and the medication was long-term, so he had to beg Gu Qingzhou for a long time.

He had no choice, and said, "Okay, let's talk about how to prepare."

Gu Qingzhou smiled and told Dujun Ye the plans one by one. At the same time, she also told Dujun Ye that it was not her idea, but Si Xingpei's.

After they talked for a while, Gu Qingzhou went back.

Back at Shiro Hirano's mansion, Gu Qingzhou thought about everything before and after, and always felt that there was something missing.

There must be something missing - somewhere, in some link.

However, she has thought of everything that should be thought, where is it missing?

"Si Xingpei, it would be great if you came back, and I can discuss it with you." Gu Qingzhou sighed.

This problem bothered her and kept her up all night.

In a blink of an eye, after four or five days, it was the Lantern Festival.

The night of the Lantern Festival was very lively, but Gu Qingzhou went to bed early.

At the dusk of the 16th day of the first month, Gu Qingzhou received a call.

The call was made by a dog.

"Madam, come back soon. The teacher is back, and he has brought someone with him!" Gouzi's voice was tense, and he was full of hatred for the person brought back by the teacher.

The servants in the family all call Si Xingpei the master, and the dog is also kind. It's just in his heart that he is his wife's servant, not his teacher.

Therefore, he was obliged to tip off his wife.

Gu Qingzhou hung up the phone, loudly ordered the servant to prepare the car, and returned to Si Xingpei's yard without saying hello to Mrs. Hirano and Cai Changting.
