"How silly!" Someone seemed to whisper in his ear, as if it was her voice.
Zhao Jingyan sat up suddenly and looked around, but saw no one.
It turned out to be an auditory hallucination.
He wiped away his tears, put his hand on his head, and stroked his scalp inch by inch.
The letter said that there were eighteen stitches on the top of her head. As long as it was that long, this scar was engraved on the top of her head and also on his heart.
After Zhao Jingyan finished weighing, his expression returned to calm. He stood up slowly, looked at the sky for a while, then walked into the tent with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Ah Li came up to greet him, "Sir, the food and wine have been prepared. Please use some."
Zhao Jingyan looked at him and said calmly: "No need, after half a stick of incense, all the generals of the Suppressing West Army will gather."
A Li was stunned, "Sir, what are you doing on a snowy day?"
"If you don't do anything, there are still three months. I want to make these ninety days pass into one hundred and eighty days. Since we want to be prosperous, we should start with the Suppression of the West Army."
Zhao Jingyan pushed him away and said: "From today on, I will eat and live with the soldiers."
A Li was so shocked that his eyes popped out, wondering what kind of stimulation he had received.
Gu Qingguan never expected that Zhao Jingyan would be completely transformed after he hit a wall. Living and eating together in March allowed him to establish a very strong and deep relationship with the Zhenxi Army.
So much so that even the lowest officers in the company would pat their chests when mentioning their general, and proudly say that in a certain year and month, the general drank and got drunk with him.
The soldiers' almost worshipful loyalty allowed Zhao Jingyan to turn the Zhenxi Army into a sharp sword in his hand, making him invincible.
When a greater disaster struck him and Gu Qingwan a long time later, two hundred thousand people from the Zhenxi Army, under the command of Sheng Fang, stood behind them with a copper wall and an iron arm.
This is a later story.
Gu Qingwan was lying flat on the bed, looking at the crying people in the room, and closed his eyes in pain.
Yueniang burst into tears and said: "Miss, you want to force Yueniang to death, but you don't have to force it. Yueniang will die sooner or later, so I just hope that I can die before Miss, so that I don't have to worry and be afraid, and can't even breathe." Come up."
Shi Songyin said in silence: "Gu Qingwan, you are a pig. Even the most powerful person will seek death one day. Let me tell you, if you dare to die before me, I will never let you go."
Gu Qingzhi burst into tears and said: "Sixth sister, it's better to die than to live. If you have any pain or grievances in your heart, just tell the second sister, but you can't do stupid things. No matter how stupid you do, how will the second sister live in the future? ?”
The eldest lady Zhang burst into tears and said: "Silly boy, why should you take those rumors to heart? The Jiang family and our ancestors will make the decision for you. My good life is gone, where can I find such a good wife again!"
Zhu Shi, the eldest grandma of Dudu, said bitterly: "Humph, you are pointing at us who are all ignorant and do not distinguish between black and white. Isn't it just that evil idea? Who can you hide it from? Brothers and sisters, don't be afraid, look back. My sister-in-law is protecting you, and no matter who she is, she won’t dare to throw dirty water on you.”
Qingguan looked at the people in front of the bed, her eyes slightly moist, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
These are not her real relatives, but they all sincerely wish her well. It is not a waste to have them in this life.
"Okay, okay, let's all disperse and let Qingguan have a good rest." Jiang Hongwen's voice sounded outside the window.
At the sound of this voice, Shi Songyin's hand trembled while holding the handkerchief, and he secretly looked at Zhang's expression with his eyes, and lowered his head in shame.
Gu Qingzhi felt relieved. When such a big thing happened to Liu Mei, Master Qi and the Jiang family still fiercely protected her. This is what the Shili family should be like.
There was a smile in Mrs. Zhu's eyes. This seventh child was quite good at protecting his wife. It seemed that he had to discuss it with his ancestors when he returned to his home, and it was time to arrange the marriage.
All the girls had their own thoughts and exited one after another.
Gu Qingguan let out a long sigh of relief when he saw the people dispersed. This guy finally did something good. Otherwise, she would have been drowned in tears sooner or later.
When the girls entered the main room, Yueniang wiped her tears and said, "Madam, grandma, and young lady, please have lunch before leaving. The house is ready."
Mrs. Zhang just had something to say, so she said: "I won't have any food, just have a cup of tea and leave. Second Miss, come and sit down quickly."
Gu Qingzhi's beautiful eyebrows moved, and she took the initiative to step forward and help Zhang sit down, "It's hard for the eldest lady to go all the way to make this trip. This girl is really lucky."
Ms. Zhang sighed softly and said, "What kind of blessing is there? The real blessing is to get married and go home. To be honest, the second lady said, I haven't had any marriages this day, and my heart won't sink in one day."
Now it seems that the child is a high-spirited person who will die for a few rumors outside. Although I was rescued this time, I can't guarantee that there will still be those nagging people.
Hey, let's get things sorted out quickly, so that we can get rid of the errands in the palace and save her from having to worry about her all day long.
This hit the spot exactly what Gu Qingzhi wanted. There were rumors going around, and if she could arrange the marriage at this time, the rumors would be dispelled.
She smiled and said: "Sixth sister will be sixteen after the Chinese New Year, so she should take care of herself. The girl's family can't always be exposed in public. Sixth sister has no elders, and I am useless. Please have mercy on me, madam." , take care of it for her.”
As soon as these words came out, Yueniang felt bitter in her heart and mouth, and couldn't help but look at Mr. Jiang Liu at the door.
Sixth Master, please give us some advice. The first lady is already discussing the marriage.
Jiang Hongwen didn't pay attention to Yueniang's gaze at all. Instead, his eyes fell gently on the woman in red who lowered her head and said nothing, and her heart was in a mess.
Whatever he had to say about this matter, he really couldn't make any progress or retreat. He wasn't afraid of anything else, he was just afraid that Songyin would think too much and become angry for a moment.
Little did he know that at this moment, Shi Songyin was not only not angry, but was also worried about Qingguan and him.
While Mrs. Zhu listened carefully to her mother-in-law's words, she looked at Lao Qi and followed his gaze. The woman sitting on the seat was dressed in red. She had beautiful features and a graceful figure. She looked like a woman from the south of the Yangtze River.
Mrs. Zhu's heart skipped a beat, thinking that there was something unusual about the way Lao Qi looked at this woman.
"Grandma... Grandma!"
When Zhu heard the call, she quickly came back to her senses, "What do you want, Madam?"
Mrs. Zhang laughed angrily and said, "Why are you so lost in thought?"
Zhu pointed her finger and said with a smile: "Sister Songyin, I haven't seen you for a long time, and she looks even more beautiful."
Shi Songyin's face turned red and he stood up to salute.
In the past, Qingguan was recuperating in the Jiang family. She and her sister-in-law were visiting the doctor, so she was somewhat familiar with the Jiang family. Just now, she was only paying attention to Qingguan and forgot to salute.
When Jiang Hongwen saw Mrs. Zhu's eyes fixed on Shi Songyin, he made a few turns in his mind and said, "It's getting late. I'll send my mother and sister-in-law back."
Mrs. Zhang was having a chat with Gu Qingzhi. When she heard that it was embarrassing for her son, she laughed a few words and left with Mrs. Zhu.
Gu Qingzhi had something to do at home, so she told Yueniang a few words and left together.
In an instant, only two people were left in the room.
Jiang Hongwen and Shi Songyin looked at each other from a distance, their hearts trembling, and they were silent for a long time.
Yueniang saw this and waved her hand, signaling the maids to leave. He turned around and went into the inner room, and said a few words to the lady.
Qingguan was drowsy, and her eyes widened in disbelief when she heard this, "The two of them... but are they really?"
Yueniang sighed and said, "It's absolutely true."
Gu Qingguan thought for a while and said, "This matter... is a bit complicated."
"It's more than complicated. It's simple and messy. Miss, what should we do?" Yueniang looked at the calm look on the lady's face and could only hesitate to speak.
Gu Qingwan stopped looking at her and slowly closed his eyes. After thinking for a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "Yueniang, Songyin looks carefree but she is inexperienced. We need to talk this out. Go call her over."
Shi Songyin sat down on Qingguan's bedside, took the medicine brought by Chunni, and said with a smile, "It's your turn to drink the bitter medicine this time."
Gu Qingguan remained motionless and refused to agree.
Shi Songyin laughed again and said, "If you are afraid of hardship, I will ask them to bring out the plums and let you eat them."
Gu Qingguan smiled faintly and said, "I suppose I'm like you. To drink a bowl of bitter medicine, I have to eat two prunes. By the way, I'm going on a long trip, how about you at home?"
Shi Songyin's lips moved slightly, and he struggled painfully in his heart. Finally, he couldn't hold it anymore, and his eyes dimmed, "Qingwan, he... he said he wanted to take care of me."
"This is a good thing!" Gu Qingguan smiled and reached out, took her little hand and scratched it gently.
Shi Songyin held her hand with his backhand, "Qingguan, you really don't annoy me."
"I'm really not annoyed. He and I are just friends, and there is no relationship between man and woman. How many times do you want me to say this?"
Gu Qingguan deliberately darkened his face, "I have a headache right now, and you are angry with me. I will never mind your own business again."
When Shi Songyin heard this, he was neither angry nor laughing. He squeaked and buried his head in his hands, too embarrassed to see anyone.
Qingguan looked at her with a smile.
She suddenly remembered that after the man in her previous life confessed to her, she was the same way. She was so ashamed that she hid in the bed, her whole body was like a cooked scar, red and hot.
Shi Songyin couldn't hear any movement for a long time, so he couldn't help but take away his hand and look at Qingwan with his eyes. When she saw Qingguan looking at her, she was so embarrassed that she covered her face.
"Gu Qingwan, are you laughing at me?"
"Shi Songyin, one of my eyes saw that I was laughing at you, and you're angry with me again." Gu Qingguan had a headache and couldn't speak for long, so he added, "I'm worried about you."
Shi Songyin put down his hand, and the blush on his face slowly faded. Although she was unfamiliar with the world, she also knew what Qingguan was worried about.
Don't care about anything else, just talk about your own body, there is no possibility of having children. How could a family like the Jiang family marry someone who couldn't bear children? She and he were destined to have no connection.
Gu Qingguan thought deeper.
There is no harm without contrast. The reason why the eldest lady is satisfied with her is that she pleases her ancestors, she is a famous doctor, and she can control Jiang Hongwen.
If Songyin had been replaced, I'm afraid there would be a gap in the eldest lady's heart. In addition, Songyin's body is extremely difficult to give birth to, so taking concubines is inevitable. A fertile concubine, with a clean person like Songyin, how can she be an opponent, unless Jiang Hongwen has been protecting her, otherwise...
