Blissful Days After Widowhood

Chapter 66

Views:

Gu Yinben was also worried that Gu Ye and Wu Qingyi would not get along well, thinking about how to ease the relationship between the two.

I didn't expect her to take action at all, and the relationship between the two became closer day by day.

First, Gu Ye rode on Wu Qingyi's neck that day and played all afternoon.

It was getting dark the day before, and the family found an inn to stay in. Wu Qingyi unfastened the horse from the carriage and took him on a night horse.

The two continued to play until the night was heavy before returning.

Gu Ye went crazy with joy, and took Wu An's hand and said, "It's a pity you don't go, it's so fun!"

At that time, Wu An had just finished writing his homework, and envied: "I have asked for so long a leave, and if I don't write again, I will not finish it."

"It doesn't matter," Wu Qingyi also sweated and said with a smile: "I have spent a lot of time on horseback riding. When I return to Beijing, I will choose a pony for each of you, and you can ride it at home."

What little boy can say no to a foal? The eyes of the two little guys lit up immediately.

"I want the black one!" Gu Ye said immediately.

"Then I want snow white." Wu An thought for a while.

After they finished talking, they immediately discussed what name they would give their foal. Wang raised their neck collars one by one and said, "I haven't played yet, don't give me the skin, go take a bath first!"

The family asked for three rooms, Wu Qingyi's room was at the very end near the stairs, and Gu Yin and Wang's room were at the back.

The Wang family brought them back to the house, and only Wu Qingyi and Gu Yin were left in the house.

It has been a while since the two met again, but neither in the thatched hut in Batou Village nor in the carriage on the road, they have never been alone together.

Now that I can finally speak quietly for a while, Gu Yin handed him her handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and then asked, "That time you said reinforcements had arrived, but I heard later that there were only over a thousand people here. ?"

At that time, the fine work was still in the army, and the mobilization of the large troops would definitely let the emperor get news in advance. Wu Qingyi only asked his confidants to come to support overnight.

More than a thousand people played against tens of thousands of people, although most of the opponents were palace guards who had never been on the battlefield, it was not an easy battle.

But fortunately, Gu Yin's method really worked. At the beginning, only half of the people developed symptoms. The longer the battle dragged on, the more people were poisoned. In addition, Wu Qingyi burned the place where they stored food at that time, and the deposed emperor asked him to kill it, which made it a lot easier.

"I didn't take credit for you after I returned to Beijing." Wu Qing said apologetically.

At that time, he never thought that she would be his wife. He only thought that the remnants of the abolished emperor had escaped. If he took credit for her and announced it to the world, it would inevitably bring trouble to her.

Gu Yin shook her head, "I didn't want that credit either."

Is she a cook after all, let the world know that she can poison so many people with common ingredients and not scare people? Also talk about what to do in the food business.

And now that everyone is a family, there is no need to worry about who is responsible.

Seeing that he was really a little unhappy, Gu Yin smiled and said, "Then why don't you give me the reward for your meritorious deeds?"

"It's natural."

The righteous king imitated the previous dynasty, and did not give him any different surnames. The king's position was over, and the Wu family could not be promoted. The reward for meritorious service was nothing but gold and silver treasures. Their father and son lived frugally and never used it at all, etc. Back in the capital, it is natural to leave it to Wang Shi and Gu Yin to take care of it.

As soon as I said this, there was a movement of scratching the door at the door.

It was Gu Ye who called her to go back to sleep after taking a shower.

Gu Yin shook her head amusingly and got up to leave.

When I came out of the house, I saw Gu Ye standing with wet hair and wearing only middle clothes.

"Why don't you just call me after you've washed it? Why do you learn to scratch the door like a wild cat?" Gu Yin took him back to the house and wiped his hair with a dry towel.

Gu Ye smiled and said nothing.

Although the ugly-faced uncle is quite likable, mother, he is still alone for the time being!

Seeing that Uncle Ugly was riding a horse for him and taught him how to ride, he had already asked his mother to speak to him alone for a quarter of an hour!

After wiping his hair, Gu Yin also went to wash.

After she had washed up, Gu Ye went to bed.

He usually moves very quickly, but today he went to bed slowly and grinning.

Gu Yin went to the racecourse to play in the past life. After riding for a while, the inner thighs were reddened, and she guessed that he must be injured.

Fortunately, they went out with the wound medicine.

"Are your legs frayed?" Gu Yin said and was about to take off his trousers.

Although there were still big four-corner shorts in the pajamas - Gu Yin asked Wang to make them for them, but Gu Ye blushed and pulled his pants tightly to prevent her from taking them off.

Gu Yin couldn't help it, but now that there is a man in the family, there is no need to invite a male doctor, so she went to the next door again and invited Wu Qingyi over.

Gu Yin stood outside the house and asked Wu Qingyi to check on Gu Ye alone.

This time, Gu Ye was no longer embarrassed. After a while, his giggling came from the room.

After a while, Wu Qingyi came out and said apologetically, "It's okay, just a little bit of skin is broken. It's my fault, I didn't expect him to be injured."

When he first joined the army, he was eighteen or nineteen years old. He was naturally injured when he first learned to ride a horse. The tight-fitting trousers stuck to his thighs.

But today he kept holding Gu Ye halfway on his arm, but he didn't expect the child's skin to be tender, so he was still injured. But of course it wasn't as serious as he was at the time, just a little bit of oily skin was abraded.

"It's okay, he's not that kind of squeamish child." Gu Yin bent her lips, "Look, he has to clamor for a horse tomorrow."

This really made Gu Yin right, and Gu Ye's voice came from the room immediately, "Uncle, go to bed early, let's ride a horse together tomorrow."

Hearing that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Gu Yin still had water vapor on her body, and her dark eyes were foggy, not as bright as usual, but with a soft beauty.

Wu Qingyi immediately looked away and looked away - her coat was simply draped, revealing a smooth and white neck. So slender and fragile, it seems that as long as it is lightly grasped, it can be played in the palm of your hand.

"Rest early." After saying this, he ran away.

Gu Yin looked at his back strangely, and was urged by Gu Ye to enter the room, so she went into the room and went to bed to rest.

Gu Ye rested for one night, and the next day was alive and well. By the end of the month, before they returned to Hanshan Town, he could already ride a short distance by himself. Of course, it must be Wu Qingyi's presence, otherwise his little butt will suffer again.

Before returning to Hanshan Town, the Wang family held a small family meeting. The content of the meeting revolved around Wu Qingyi.

Wang felt that the identity of the eldest son could not be revealed.

Jinyi's return home is of course decent, but the current martial arts family is not generally developed, and it sounds more powerful than the high officials in the play.

Such an identity, in this small town, is tantamount to throwing water droplets into a hot pot of boiling oil. Who knows if there will be trouble

And as sung in the play, there are many white-faced tricks around the rich and powerful.

Those who open their own doors and do business have established a good relationship with the guests from all over the world. What if someone uses the identity of their old friend to do bad things after they leave because they are familiar with his family

In particular, the family of the Wang family is still here. Although the two black-hearted couples are gone, there are still Wang's nephews, nephews, nieces and grandchildren. Although they look good at the moment, they haven't done anything wrong. But times change, people are unpredictable, and it is hard to guarantee that one day they will become big, or they will be harassed by others, and something will happen.

I have to say that although Wang is a peasant woman, she still knows how to take precautions before it happens.

Wu Qingyi also means this. In these years of war, he has made many enemies. The remnants of the abolished emperor fled to the south. A land like the capital can still be said to be peaceful, but a small town like Hanshan Town is beyond the reach of the whip. Don't look back and get involved with Wang Shi and Gu Yin. Friendship people.

Gu Yin is not a person who likes to show his prestige, and of course there is nothing wrong with it.

The three of them hit it off and immediately discussed their rhetoric, saying that Wu Dad and Wu Qingyi went to fight with the rebels back then.

He told the two children that before returning to town, Wu Qingyi took off the mask, revealing the red scar on his face.

At that time, Wang Shi was ready to see half of his face beyond recognition. When she saw the red scar on her thumb, she laughed and said: "Is this the rumored scar that can scare away Wanjun? I have to leave. A few steps, or eyes that are not easy to use, can't see at all!"

This remark made Wu Qingyi also joke, saying: "This is a rumor on the battlefield, it can't be true."

The scar is not an eye-opener, and when he puts on his strong suit and wears an ordinary bunt, the more no one will doubt his identity.

At the end of July, the group returned to Hanshan Town.

As soon as the carriage stopped at the gate of Gu's house, Song Shiliu trotted out, "The old lady is finally back! I'm worried about the dead servant!"

When they returned to Batou Village, Song Shiliu wanted to join them, but she was only a half-old child, so with another one, Gu Yin and Wang Shi were afraid that they would not be able to take care of it, so they did not let her go.

Gu Yin asked her why she was at home at this hour, Song Shiliu helped her out of the carriage and explained: "Grandpa Zhong has suffered from heat stroke these two days, and the slave has asked the doctor to show him and prescribed medicine. The shopkeeper will let the slave Watching at home, saying that the old lady and wife should be back in the past two days, and no one at home is always bad."

Mrs. Wang was really exhausted. When she got home, she immediately loosened up. Seeing that Song Shiliu was rushing to pick up her luggage, she went into the house to see Uncle Zhong, who was suffering from heat stroke.

"The two young masters have lost weight!" Song Shiliu pushed them through the door, not letting them carry their luggage by themselves.

In the end, only Wu Qingyi was left, and Song Shiliu didn't recognize him, so he was not polite to him, and asked him to help with the luggage.

Just as the group walked from the front yard to the back yard, Song Shiliu said, "This eldest brother has worked hard! My wife will settle the cost of the security guard later, please stay."

This is to drive people out.

Moreover, although Song Shiliu's words were considered polite, the expression on her face was grinning. She didn't know where to touch a laundry mallet in front of her, as if to say that if he dared to take a step into the backyard, she would Work hard with him!

Gu Yin couldn't help laughing and said: "Pomegranate, why did you stop him, didn't you realize that he looks like my mother and Wu An?"

Song Shiliu finally stopped showing her teeth and claws, put down the laundry mallet and asked, "Is this the old lady's country relative?"

"It's my eldest brother." Wu An looked at her helplessly.

"Your brother isn't..."

The Wang family took out the rhetoric that had been negotiated before, saying that he thought he was dead before, but this time he returned to his hometown to meet him, and only then did he know that he was still alive.

"Oh, this servant has eyes but doesn't know what mountain!" Song Shiliu quickly apologized.

Of course Wu Qingyi wouldn't bother with such a little girl, and he nodded slightly to reveal the matter.

He really had no discomfort in his heart. He had been thinking about orphans and widows before, and his life must have been very unsatisfactory. He was afraid that he would not be willing to tell him many sufferings, which would add to his sadness.

Looking at this bright and spacious house now, although it cannot be compared with the martial family in the capital, it is not like the two thatched cottages in Batou Village.

The teenage girl was so alert, obviously she was well trained on weekdays.

After resting for a while and relieving the heat, Gu Yin greeted everyone to eat for the day.

Shiwei Tianwu market has passed, Gu Yin asked Song Shiliu to send a letter first, and asked the shopkeeper Zhou to prepare meals for them, and also informed everyone that Wu Qingyi had been found.

"This is a good thing!" After hearing the news forwarded by Song Shiliu, Chef Xu immediately went out and bought two strings of hanging whips, which were immediately placed at the door.

Song Shiliu misidentified Wu Qingyi as a person from the escort agency. She felt that she had done something wrong, and wanted to make up for it. She also borrowed a gong. Accompanied by the sound of crackling firecrackers, she stood at the door and banged on the gong.

Unceremoniously, he released two large strings of hanging whips and banged gongs. When the guests and nearby residents heard the noise, they asked what happened. After I asked, I found out that it was the man from Shiwei Tiandong's family who came back!

In this battle of firecrackers and gongs and drums, Gu Yin and her party were eating for heaven.

"Our boss is not a widow!" Song Shiliu beat the gong and shouted to announce the good news to everyone, "Our boss's man is back!"

When Gu Yin showed up, everyone looked at her in unison, and they all congratulated her.

"Gu Niangzi is overjoyed, I think you are lucky!"

"Gu Niangzi's craftsmanship is good, the man is back, and someone will take care of it, the business will definitely get better and better!"

There is no doubt about Gu Yin's craftsmanship, but it is much more difficult for a woman to stand up than a man in this world. In particular, some people who are not used to food and have a good business are arranged behind a "widow shop", saying that their shop is full of widows, which is very unlucky!

They are all sincerely happy for Gu Yin.

However, the so-called social death scene is nothing more than that!

Gu Yin wanted to run back for a moment, but as soon as she took a step back, her back bumped into Wu Qingyi's arms.

"Be careful." He stretched out his hand to hold Gu Yin's waist, then took a step forward and stood in front of her.

At this time, everyone's eyes naturally focused on him.

"This is Mrs. Gu's husband, what a wonderful life!"

"What a handsome and handsome son, Madam Wu and Madam Gu are very lucky!"

Wu Qingyi didn't mind being seen by everyone, and whenever anyone praised him, he would nod his head slightly to express his gratitude.

With his cover, the group finally entered the store.

"Pomegranate, you..." Gu Yin looked at her resentfully.

She just asked Song Shiliu to inform the guys, how did she make such a big battle

Song Shiliu immediately put down the gong and started throwing the pot, "Master Xu bought the hanging fire and the cannonball, so I'm just beating the gong!"

Chef Xu immediately said, "I asked the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper didn't object!"

Shopkeeper Zhou coughed lightly and smiled awkwardly: "I think it's a big happy event for the family to reunite again. If one doesn't look at them, the movement will make a big noise."

"Forget it, forget it." Gu Yin helped her forehead helplessly, so she simply asked the man to write a notice and post it.

As soon as the notice "Happy owner, 20% off today" was posted, even though it was a hot afternoon, a lot of people poured into the store.

Later, even Master Wen Er heard about it, and hurriedly sent a storyteller to add a storytelling session.

Now I can listen to the storytelling again, and I can come to see the Wu family's fortune-telling, Yingwei and tall son, and the store has become the same as before.

Seeing that Mr. Wen Er knew, Gu Yin simply took Wu Qingyi to see Mr. Wen.

Mrs. Wen was still worried about her when she heard the news that her man had returned, but she was obviously a little different to the rebel general before. After the general returned to the capital, there was no news from him. Guess it wasn't a good thing. It's better to live with the scumbag husband.

Of course, he also has to meet people to see if the other party is worth entrusting, otherwise even if they got married earlier, the old man can't watch Gu Yin live with the unsightly people.

When we meet again, naturally, there is no need to worry. The old man took Gu Yin aside and left Wu Qingyi in the study to talk.

Gu Yin didn't know what he was talking about, but since the fight this time, the old man has become more affectionate towards Wu Qing.

The news spread like wildfire, and before the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone in the town didn't know that Gu Yin was no longer a widow.

Selling moon cakes again, this time the sales of moon cakes have increased a bit more than last year. First, the reputation of Shiweitian is getting better and better, and more and more people know about his family. Second, it is festivals. The reputation of the "widow shop" is taboo, and now there is no need to be taboo, and naturally it has become a patron of food for the sky.

In the past, Gu Yin and others were too busy to touch the ground, but this time everyone was much more relaxed. Wu Qingyi is very capable. Although he doesn't know how to cook, his strength, the rough work of chopping wood and carrying water, is easier than anyone else.

There is enough water, the firewood is burnt, the dishes are washed quickly and cleanly, and there is nothing to say about one person serving five people.

Gu Yin sometimes sees him busy with work, and feels very sorry in her heart.

A good general, who does rough work day and night in his own kitchen, is always a bit overkill, like using a knife to kill chickens.

Several times she wanted to help, or she could hire helpers. Anyway, during the New Years and festivals, she used to hire temporary workers to help.

Wu Qingyi said no, and said, "You and your mother can do these rough jobs, why can't I do it?"

After eight years of absence, when he arrived at Hanshan Town, he realized how much he had missed.

No one likes to work, and he is no exception, but doing these things makes him feel closer to those missing years.

"It's just that I haven't done a lot of work for a long time. Look at this pot, I just forgot that you said to keep the oil layer and not to brush it too clean." Wu Qingyi said seriously, "If you really want to help, why not? Be an overseer, if you don’t do well, I’ll go back to work.”

Just as Mr. Wang walked into the back kitchen, he almost didn't laugh when he heard this.

In the kitchen, these are simple and rough jobs that individuals will do, and assign a supervisor

Moreover, when he was at home, Wu Qingyi did all the rough work at home from a young age, until he left home at the age of 20, and he could forget all about it in just over eight years? It's a real bullshit!

Wang Shi was about to mumble that her son was stupid in the war, but seeing that her usually very smart daughter-in-law really nodded, moved a small bench and sat next to him, "Then I will help you palm and eye."

Two fools, they can really play together! Wang shi turned his toes, and went out with disgust and laughter.

This day, the food was open until it was dark. After eating the evening food, Mr. Xu did not go home after grinding his teeth with Mrs. Wang, but left.

Others don't know that long before the Wang family set off back to Batou Village, they had agreed that they would formally match Gu Yin and Xu Qingchuan when they returned.

Xu Qingchuan had already greeted Xu Qingchuan long ago. Although Xu Qingchuan was not as excited and happy as she and Wang's, he was still as indifferent as ever.

But his own son knows that he has no objection, and he has not said the big truth of "no fame, what is home?", obviously he also has that kind of heart.

The Xu family has a good time. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, let the two children watch the lanterns again, cultivate their relationship first, and then walk around more frequently when they are in the capital. In February next year, Xu Qingchuan is admitted to the jinshi, and then he can arrange the happy event.

Now that Wu Qingyi is back, this matter has become a matter of course. Although Mrs. Xu is also happy for Mrs. Wang, she has no such a good daughter-in-law.

Walking to the door of the store, Mrs. Xu saw Gu Ye being surrounded by a group of children talking.

Xiao Pang sucked his nose and said enviously, "Brother Ye's father is so tall and strong, can he hold you on top of his head all the time?"

Gu Ye still doesn't call him Dad, but he doesn't mind when others call Wu Qingyi that, otherwise, it's always weird when people say "your mother and your uncle".

"Yes, he even took me to ride a horse on the way back. I can already ride a horse now."

"Wow!" The children are envious. Most of them have only seen horses on the street in their lives, never touched them, let alone know how to ride a horse.

"Brother Ye's father fought the world with the emperor!" Fan Jinsong puffed out his chest proudly, "What's the point of being able to ride a horse!"

Gu Ye is about to leave Hanshan Town, and a new child king is about to be born. Especially a month after Gu Ye left town, a child had an "ambition" and wanted to press him before he left, okay As soon as he took up the throne, he heard the words and said, "What do you want to conquer the world, isn't Ye Ge's father an ordinary person now? He is no longer a general! Have you never heard the word "removing armor and returning to the field"

Gu Ye kept his mother's words in mind and couldn't disclose his uncle's identity, but he didn't like to be contemptuous when others mentioned him, and immediately said: "Although he is not a general, he also has errands in the capital."

People ask him what's wrong

Gu Ye tried his best to recall.

The Wang family had asked Wu Qingyi before, if he said that if he stopped fighting, would he have nothing to do? It is said that military generals in troubled times are highly used, and civil servants are popular in peaceful and prosperous times.

Wu Qingyi said no, "Although we don't fight, we still have to train troops. Currently, he is also in charge of the imperial guards in the palace."

In charge of the imperial guards in the palace, that is, the emperor entrusted his life and wealth to him. This kind of errand can only be done by the cronies of the cronies.

Wang Shi didn't understand that, so he laughed at the time: "Wow, show the emperor the gate! The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, if anyone dares to look down on you, you won't even let him enter the gate of the palace!"

So after thinking about it, Gu Ye said, "Watching the gate in the capital, you have to listen to him when you go in and out."

The children cheered again.

Beijing hey! They only heard good places from people, not to mention them, even their parents, grandparents, they have never been there in their entire lives!

I heard that it is a hundred times more prosperous than Hanshan Town, and what to eat and drink is fun, only they dare not think about it, and there is nothing there. To be able to watch the gate there, and to listen to him when entering and leaving, is really very capable and powerful!

When Xu Shi heard that, Yu died beside him.

Not to mention watching the gate in the capital, even watching the gate in the palace, that is just a good job for ordinary people.

But her family, Qingchuan, was a jinshi from the Juren, so how could she lose to the Wu family's gatekeeper's son

Blame God, let Gu Yin marry the son of the Wu family first, otherwise she will definitely fight for her son!

Seeing Wang Shi again the next day, Xu Shi's eyes were full of resentment.

In fact, Mrs. Wang was also a little guilty. Mrs. Xu had melted her favorite gold bracelet that had been hidden for many years, saying that it would be a shame for Gu Yin in the future.

But when her son came back, she definitely couldn't push out such a good daughter-in-law as Gu Yin, and she could only feel sorry for Xu's gold bracelet.

Of course, Mrs. Xu didn't embarrass Mrs. Wang in the end, but said bitterly, "If your son dares to treat his daughter-in-law badly, I will, I will..."

She "just" for a long while, without saying why.

Seeing that she was willing to take the initiative to speak, Mrs. Wang was delighted, and immediately took her chubby hand and assured: "Don't worry, there is a day when I will hang him first, and then hang his father! He will discipline him. Yes, definitely not with me!"

Thousands of miles away in the capital of the British government, Wu Zhong sneezed fiercely.

After sneezing, Wu Zhong said that he was embarrassed, and irritably repelled the servants in the whole room.

After the room was quiet, Wu Zhongku sat for a long while before wiping the saliva that was on his lips, and then with difficulty he opened the letter sent by his son with one hand.

The father and son are rough, and they only send a letter to each other for half a year every day. This time, it was strange. After only one month of going out, they sent a letter back.

I thought it was some daily greeting, but I didn't think he saw something else this time!

After reading it quickly, Wu Zhong became more and more stunned. He read it over and over again several times, and slapped the conscious half of his face. Only then did he know that he was not dreaming!
