Chapter 60 Each person has his own aspiration
First, she was bored for nearly a month at Gu residence. That place was full of people and it was also under the eyes of old madam, Shu Huan had no choice but to endure the boredom and be more well-behaved.
Before coming to the resort, she had fantasized that there was no one to control her here and that she would occasionally go out to relieve boredom. Who would've thought that Gu Xiran and Gu Xihe was busy with learning martial arts and didn't have time to take her out? The maids didn't dare to go out. No need to mention concubine Yun. When there was nothing going on, she (Y) wouldn't even leave j.a.panese Rose Pavilion. She could stay the whole day in her room to embroider flowers.
As for the old maids that old madam sent to take care of Gu Xihe, they weren't within her consideration. She was busy enough preventing them from reporting to old madam, how could she personally send herself over for a nagging?
Hence, when she heard that Gu Xiran said to go up the mountain tomorrow, she was over the moon. She called Meijing and prepared to go pack up things. However, she just walked to the door when she heard concubine Yun ask, "Go up the mountain? Second young master, can your body bear that?"
A person with such an ident.i.ty as Gu Xiran's would never pick a fight with another person. Learning martial arts was just to defend themselves. Although, these days he almost collapsed because of Du Qiu, but he still gritted his teeth and endured it. His physical condition improved significantly. In the past, he would pant even when he just walked a small way. Now, as long as he didn't have to run, his heartbeat wouldn't even accelerate.
Therefore, he smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter."
Concubine Yun was relieved, "Then, I will also go pack."
Gu Xiran raised an eyebrow, shouted to stop her, "It's better for you to stay here and look after the yard."
"…"
Even if you used your toe to think, you would know how embarra.s.sed concubine Yun was now. Shu Huan didn't turn her head and quickly walked out. It's better for them to solve their problem between themselves. She didn't have to meddle in lest to not provoke resentment. However, no matter how fast she walked, she still heard Gu Xiran say, "The road to go up the mountain is not easy. It's difficult to take care of so many people. The maids also don't have to follow."
Meijing walked behind her. after hearing this, she muttered, "Luckily, luckily."
Shu Huan couldn't help herself from laughing, "You don't want to go outside?"
"I want to," while Meijing talked, she looked at her expression and then continued. "But hiking is too hard. There isn't even a road. There is only a path where only one person could walk to go up the mountain. Besides, there was rain the last few days. Perhaps the mud road hasn't dried yet. If you step on it, it's wet mud. If you aren't careful and accidentally slipped…"
Speaking till here, her brows tightened. She said with worry, "Second young mistress, I think you should also beg second young master for you to not go. How great will it be to rest on such a hot day at home. Why should you follow them to go suffer and tire yourself? If you are truly very bored, you can wait till the fifteenth and let second young master take you for a stroll around the market in the village. That is a lot more relaxed and interesting."
