Chapter 4 The next morning, before dawn, Gu Jianli woke up.
It's always bad to let others know that she slept on the Arhat's bed last night.
The pair of wedding candles on the table had not yet burned out.
Gu Jianli suddenly remembered that when his sister got married, his stepmother once said that the wedding candle on the wedding night must be lit until dawn so that everything can go smoothly for a hundred years.
She walked over and sat down at the table, holding her chin up and looking at the swaying flames.
It took a long time before her eyelashes would flutter with the flames.
She didn't dare to sleep anymore.
Seeing Li An sitting quietly in the dark room waiting for dawn, Gu couldn't help but think of the situation in Guangping's residence.
She was originally going to marry Ji Xuanke, and she knew something about the affairs of the Guangping Mansion.
The old man in the Guangping Mansion is quite old.
He has five sons and one daughter.
The first five sons are the sons of his first wife, and the youngest daughter is the daughter of his stepmother, who is now the old lady in the house.
Among the five masters, the eldest son has a moderate official position, the second master and the third master are not very promising, the fourth master died in his youth, and the fifth master is now hanging on.
There are a few promising people among the grandchildren, especially Ji Xuanke.
Why did he think of Ji Xuanke again?
Gu Jianli frowned slightly and looked sideways at Ji Wujing on the bed.
Speaking of which, the person with the most power among the old and young in Guangping's house was actually the former Ji Wujing.
He had no rank and official position, but he had great power, which made the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty fear him.
Nowadays, the Holy Emperor finally ascended to Jiuding after going through the battle to seize the throne.
When the Holy Emperor sat on the Dragon Throne, the court was not stable, so the Xuanjing Gate was set up.
Some people who deserved to be killed but could not be killed openly were handed over to the Xuanjing Sect.
Ji Wujing is the second head of the Xuanjing Sect.
In his weak years, the word "mirror" was given by the Holy Spirit.
If Xuanjingmen is His Majesty's sword, then Ji Wujing is the sharpest edge on this sword.
He has killed rebels, loyal ministers, assassins, and princes.
If Ji Wujing was just working for His Majesty, her reputation would not be so bad.
It's just that some people say that Ji Wujing enjoys killing people.
Some people say they have seen him eating human flesh and drinking human blood.
Some people say that his whole body is full of hidden weapons.
If he looks at you and chuckles, you may not see the sun tomorrow.
One year when the Holy One was traveling, people were kneeling in the street to worship him.
Suddenly, a bold assassin attacked him.
Ji Wujing skinned the assassin in public.
He stood on a horse dressed in red, picked up the human skin with his long sword, and said with a smile, go back and make a human skin lantern for fun.
That scene made the people watching horrified.
Another year when foreign envoys provoked him, he was still dressed in red, lazily leaning against the pillars with his arms crossed and sneered.
The messenger shouted, but before he could finish his words, he bled to death from his seven orifices.
Ji Wujing spread his hands, half-smiling but not smiling: "I didn't do it."
If not you, who else could it be.
A person like that in the past was now lying on the bed waiting for his return date, and Gu Jianli felt a little emotional.
Perhaps thinking of his father who was also lying in bed and in a coma, Gu Jianli's eyes when he looked at Ji Wujing lost a lot of the previous fear and timidity.
Yes, they are all dying, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
At least you don't have to be afraid until you reach the underworld.
At dawn, Nanny Lin came to help her wash up.
Although her marriage is special, she still has to go to pay her respects today.

Walking under the eaves, Gu Jianli was a little worried and asked, "Come with me.
Is Liu Lang and Fourth Sister's arrangements in place?"
"Madam, don't worry.
When the slave came out, the two young masters were still asleep, and Lizi was watching over them."
Granny Lin explained again, "Although Lizi is a little clumsy, she can also tell her some simple things.
Do it well.”
Gu Jianli nodded: "I'll go check on them when we get back to the yard."
Nanny Lin, who was half a step behind, looked at Gu Jianli's dignified and upright back and felt very surprised.
She originally thought that a crying mistress would be brought in, but she didn't expect that Gu Jianli would be so calm and indifferent.
It's not like she knows that her time is running out and she's waiting to be buried with him.
Not only does she shed a tear, but she also deserves to eat and drink.
That's all, he still cares about the two young masters, there is nothing wrong with etiquette.
It seems like he really plans to live a good life.
When she thought that she was only fifteen years old, Grandma Lin was even more surprised.
Nanny Song raised the curtain to announce the arrival of the Fifth Madam.
Gu Jianli walked into the main room, interrupting the original chatter and laughter in the room.
Countless eyes came over, looking at Gu Jianli up and down, wanting to see through her.
Gu Jianli knew almost all the female relatives of the Guangping residence.
Gu Jianli turned a blind eye to all the busy looks and walked up to the old lady with graceful steps, bowing politely.
Calm and decent, without any mistakes.
"Get up."
The old lady nodded and asked Nanny Song to hand over the pressed red wine.
Gu Jianli met the three sisters-in-law again and called out "eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law" in turn.
The second lady's face was obviously embarrassed.
All etiquette was correct, but the atmosphere in the room was very strange.
The eldest girl Ji Yueming suddenly said: "Jian Li, I haven't seen you for more than three months.
Now that we meet again, things have changed.
I didn't expect that you didn't become my cousin-in-law, but instead came to celebrate my fifth uncle's birthday."
Ji Yuewen and Ji Yuezhen looked at Ji Yueming in surprise.
The already awkward atmosphere became even more awkward.
Gu Jianli suddenly remembered that his father once said: "Xuan Ke is a good kid, and he will definitely do something great in the future.
But when you marry him, you have to get along with his family.
The Guangping Mansion only has the name of a royal family member, but there is a lot of truth in it.
It sucks.
I’m afraid I won’t be happy with that family’s behavior.”
Gu Jianli looked at Ji Yueming.
Ji Yueming suddenly felt guilty.
The entire capital once supported Gu Jianli, and there was little chance of getting close to Gu Jianli.
Now that there was trouble at Gu Li's house, and he was reduced to trying to make others happy, Ji Yueming's long-suppressed self-esteem suddenly burst out, and she couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.
Gu Jianli had a slight smile on his face and said, "Sister Ming, I called you wrong."
Ji Yueming was startled and looked up at Gu Jianli in disbelief.
However, Gu Jianli had already averted his eyes, looked at the eldest lady, and said warmly: "If I remember correctly, Sister Ming had her haircut two or three months ago.
Now she should know some rules to avoid making mistakes outside."
Gu Jianli's voice was a bit sweet to begin with, and when she spoke softly, her voice made people feel particularly comfortable.
It was clear that what he said was an accusation, but it was very well listened to.

The eldest lady was worrying about Ji Yueming's marriage these days, when Gu Jianli's words suddenly hit her.
She wasn't complaining about Gu Jianli's injustice, but she didn't like her daughter not behaving appropriately in public.
Especially when his daughter stands next to Gu Jianli, who is of the same age, the gap She immediately scolded her daughter with a long face: "No matter how big or small she is, as a legitimate sister, why don't you take a few younger sisters and call her fifth aunt?"
The eldest lady's look scared Ji Yueming's words of humiliation away.
Ji Yueming gritted her teeth and reluctantly knelt down to Gu Jianli: "Yueming says hello to Fifth Aunt."
Ji Yuewen and Ji Yuezhen stood up to say hello.
The eldest son of the mansion, Ji Xuanshen, also brought several younger brothers to say hello to Gu Jianli.
There are a total of five young masters in the mansion, except Ji Xuanke, everyone else is there.
Gu Jianli remained calm, but he couldn't help but think that Ji Xuanke deliberately avoided today's scene because he felt embarrassed.
There were also several children from the old lady's cousin's family present in the hall.
However, the old lady had no intention of letting Gu Jianli deal with these relatives.
She rubbed her brows and asked the juniors to step back.
She said it had been cold recently, so there was no need to come here every day to say hello, and she specifically asked Gu Jianli to take good care of Ji Wujing.
Gu Jianli understood.
It is not certain whether other people will come to greet her in the future.
The old lady directly refused her visit.
The dignified smile on Gu Jianli's face has not changed at all, and there is no fluctuation in his heart.
But when Gu Jianli left, she felt an overly direct gaze.
She turned around and met the malicious eyes of Young Master Zhao Biao.
Gu Jianli frowned and looked away, feeling that his father was indeed right.
Back at Fifth Master's yard, Gu Jianli didn't go back to his room.
He first went to visit four-year-old Liu Lang and his fourth sister.
The two children were still asleep, and Gu Jianli didn't wake them up, so he walked over and took a look.
Both children are as cute as snow dumplings, and their appearance when sleeping is even more endearing.
Especially the girl sleeping outside, like a soft little kitten, makes people feel soft just by looking at it.
"Madam, please go back and rest first.
When the young master wakes up, I will carry him over to see you."
Gu Jianli glanced at the two sleeping children again, then turned around and returned to the room.
She thought very well.
After spending the whole day with the two children, she didn't have to go back and face Ji Wujing alone.
Unfortunately, the two babies were sleeping soundly.
After returning to the house, Gu Jianli leaned against the window and picked up a book to read.
If reading could distract her, it could make her forget about the other person in the room.
When she read two-thirds of the book, she turned her head slightly and realized that the sky outside the window was gloomy, as if it was about to snow.
Hearing someone walking into the room, Gu Jianli's eyes were still on the book page and he asked casually: "What's the matter, mama?"
"Fifth cousin."
The man's voice was flattering.
Gu Jianli was startled and raised his head suddenly.
Zhao Fengxian took a step forward.
Gu Jianli put the book in his hand on the table and asked solemnly: "Is this a place where you can enter at will?"
Zhao Fengxian was obviously frightened for a moment by Gu Jianli's sudden momentum, but it was only for a moment.
He continued to walk towards Gu Jianli and said with a smile: "Fifth cousin, I couldn't say hello to you this morning.
Fengxian feels very sorry and has come to say hello to you personally."
In the past, Gu Jianli could never come into contact with such a person, or in other words, no matter how despicable a person was, he would put on an elegant appearance in front of her.
In the past three months, she had seen too many gangsters.

She was too familiar with Zhao Fengxian's words and expressions.
Gu Jianli grabbed the tea bowl on the side and threw it towards Zhao Fengxian's feet.
He said with a cold face: "If you don't get out, I will call someone."
Zhao Fengxian still had a playful smile on his face and said: "When my fifth cousin was good, he liked the dead the most and hated the living.
His yard is the most remote.
There is no one, so you can't call anyone."
He narrowed his cross-eyed eyes and looked at Gu Jianli from head to toe, then changed the topic: "Besides, you have misunderstood Fengxian.
Fengxian has admired his fifth cousin for many years, and he just wants to talk to her.
Other bastard things I won’t do it.”
The author has something to say: the male protagonist will wake up in the next chapter, and then the crazy plot will begin.
