After he finished speaking, Song Yuanxiu looked at him and said quietly: "Take good care of your son and don't let him worry about people he shouldn't."

Meng Haowei was stunned.

Who should not be worried about?

He thought about it and then suddenly remembered that Meng Xiajian seemed to have been beaten because of a conflict over a girl.

That girl is the county magistrate’s daughter.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly became excited, and he nodded repeatedly: "I must control the dog well, and don't let him miss anyone."

He was extremely lucky that he did not go to Magistrate Shen to propose marriage.

Chi Qinghuai glanced at Gu Baiyi and saw that he didn't even look at Meng Haowei, so he said to him: "Okay, it's getting dark, so we won't let you drink tea."

Meng Haowei heard this and said quickly: "No, no, I'll leave now."

After saying that, he saluted Gu Baiyi again, then turned around and walked out.

Gu Baiyi also dropped the last chess piece and said to Cui He: "You lose."

Then he stood up directly.

He glanced at the pile of gift boxes and told De'an: "Send all these things to Miss Shen. Just say that others gave them to her as an apology."

Upon hearing this, De'an immediately nodded and responded respectfully.

Ning Boxing and others were also slightly startled, then looked at each other and smiled.

Not long after Shen Jintang returned home from Zhuangzi, the servants brought De'an to see her.

Because there were a lot of things, De'an also brought several servants here.

Shen Jintang was slightly startled when she saw him.

Dean smiled and handed the gifts in his hands to Qingdai and the others, saying: "This is a gift from the guy who was rude yesterday, to apologize to Miss Shen."

Shen Jintang thought for a moment and understood.

I'm afraid this is not a gift for her, but for Brother Gu.

But since they were all delivered, she couldn't let De'an take them back again.

He just told Poria: "Bring some silkworm chrysalis and a few jars of mulberry wine to Mr. De'an and take them back."

Shen Jintang knew that De'an was an eunuch, and also knew that he was Gu Baiyi's right-hand man.

Upon hearing this, De'an immediately thanked Shen Jintang with a bright smile.

Shen Jintang There is not much here, only silkworm chrysalis and mulberry wine.

Therefore, De'an and several servants left with a full load and returned with a full load.

The silkworm pupae that Shen Jintang asked Fu Ling to give him were all packed in small clay pots, and they were either spicy or salt and pepper.

De'an sent all the wine and silkworm chrysalis to Gu Boyi's room.

Gu Baiyi had just finished taking a bath. He looked at the dozens of jars of mulberry wine placed on the ground and a row of small clay pots stacked high. He opened a jar of mulberry wine and poured it into a cup to drink.

Tomorrow is his birthday.

But he never likes birthdays.

……

Shen Jintang slept for a while, but woke up from a dream.

She pushed herself up, put on her shoes and got out of bed, opened the curtains, and looked at the bright moonlight outside. It was obviously still early before dawn.

She walked to the table, poured a glass of water and took two sips, when she suddenly heard slight movement on the roof.

Shen Jintang put down his water glass, opened the door and walked out.

But she saw an unexpected person on her roof.

"Brother Gu?"

The person on the roof was none other than Gu Boyi. He was sitting there looking up at the moonlight and drinking.

The bright moonlight, the purple wine.

And he is exquisite, handsome and dignified.

Gu Baiyi heard the sound, lowered his peach blossom eyes and saw Shen Jintang in the yard, and smiled sheepishly: "Sister Shen, did I wake you up?"

Shen Jintang shook his head and asked, "Brother Gu, can you come down and talk?"

Gu Baiyi smiled and said to her: "The moonlight is very beautiful here. Would you like Sister Shen to come up and enjoy the moon?"

Shen Jintang was startled and looked around, but found no ladder.

Shen Jintang: "I, I can't go up."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Baiyi suddenly jumped down.

Before Shen Jintang could react, he reached her side and said, "Sister Shen, I'm sorry." He put his arm around her waist, and the two of them flew up to the roof.

Shen Jintang: "..."

Is this Qinggong?

After sitting next to Gu Baiyi, Shen Jintang could smell the strong smell of alcohol on his body.

There is an empty jar of wine next to it.

"Brother Gu, are you unhappy?"

Shen Jintang could feel that Gu Baiyi tonight was completely different from his usual self.

Tonight, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of invisible sadness.

One can't help but feel sorry for him.

Gu Baiyi didn't answer, his jade-white hand was holding the wine jar, and the other hand was holding a small wine bowl.

He poured it eight cents full with his own hands and handed it to Shen Jintang.

After Shen Jintang took it, he poured himself another bowl.

"Come, have a drink with me."

Gu Baiyi's voice was slightly hoarse, no longer the clear and clear voice he usually had.

Hearing this, Shen Jintang touched the wine bowl to him, and both of them drank it in one gulp.

Gu Boyi raised the wine jar again and poured it for them both.

This time neither of them drank.

Instead, he looked up at the moonlight.

The moon is curved, and the clear light falls down, shrouding the figures of the two people on the roof.

Although you won't get a headache if you drink too much mulberry wine, you will still get drunk.

What's more, Gu Baiyi has already drank a whole jar.

Even if you are not drunk to the point of confusion, your mind will not be too sober.

Maybe it was because he was drunk, or maybe it was because the girl who was accompanying him now made his heart beat.

Therefore, he opened his mouth and said something that he would never say anyway.

"Tomorrow is my birthday."

Hearing this, Shen Jintang turned to look at him.

Gu Baiyi still raised his chin slightly, looking at the crescent moon with half-open peach blossom eyes.

Under the illumination of the crescent moon, tears seemed to flash in his half-open peach blossom eyes.

"But I don't like celebrating birthdays at all. I haven't celebrated a birthday since I can remember." He said softly.

Shen Jintang did not interrupt him, but still looked at his side face, listening to him carefully and attentively.

His voice was still soft and hoarse: "My mother-in-law died of heavy bleeding when she gave birth to me."

In other words, his birthday is the anniversary of his mother’s death.

As he said these words, tears also flowed down the corners of his eyes.

Gu Baiyi closed his eyes.

Shen Jintang's heart ached slightly with the tears he shed.

She didn't know how to comfort him or what to say.

After hesitating for a moment, she leaned forward slightly and reached out to hug him.

Gu Baiyi's body trembled slightly.

Shen Jintang knew that this was ancient times, and she was a girl, so it was not etiquette to do so.

If this gets out, people will criticize you.

But now Gu Baiyi is really too sad and heart-wrenching.

Of course, she didn't hold Gu Baiyi for too long.

He just stretched out his slender hand and patted his back gently to show comfort.

After a while, she took back her hand and sat up straight.

Gu Baiyi had already turned his head to look at her.

He didn't know whether it was because he was drinking or because he was crying, but there was a hazy mist in his clear peach blossom eyes.

Shen Jintang looked at him and said softly: "Brother Gu, people should not always be immersed in what has happened in life, but should look forward. In this way, people who care about you will also be happy for you."
