The past grudges are over, and the misunderstandings that should be resolved are also resolved.
Yao Shi is not a vicious stepmother, and Gu Changqing is also a good eldest brother.
For the sake of Gu Yan and Gu Jiao, he sacrificed his life several times. Yao shi's heart no longer had any complaints against him before, but he was only deeply moved and grateful.
But it's one thing to have no grudges in your heart, and it's another thing to really open the gap on the bright side.
She said that she had no expectations, but it was only at this moment that she realized that she had been waiting for this mother.
"Look at you, why are you crying?" Gu Hou, who was on the side, saw Yao shi holding a teacup and wept, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her, "Didn't you just call someone?"
Although he was muttering like this, he also understood in his heart that Yao Shi had waited too long for his mother.
When his son was young, he didn't know how many tricks he used. He used both hard and soft skills, forcing them to honor Yao Shi and calling Yao Shi a mother, but the three brothers were very hard-boned and would rather be beaten to death than do the same.
The old lady felt sorry for her grandson and forbade him to persecute the three children. At this point, the matter of calling someone was delayed.
Now that the eldest son took the initiative to speak, to be honest, he was quite surprised.
But thinking about how they have gotten along in the past few years, I feel that it is a matter of course.
Yuan Baolin looked at Yao Shi, and then looked at Gu Changqing, who was calm on the outside but must have a lot of turmoil in her heart. She also took the tea cup from the servant and presented it to Yao Shi with both hands: "Mother, please drink tea."
"Okay, okay!" Yao Shi took the cup of daughter-in-law's tea with a tearful smile.
Yao Shi also gave Yuan Baolin a box of jewelry, which she and Gu Jiao went to the shop to choose. The style is novel, simple and elegant, which complements Yuan Baolin's temperament.
Yuan Baolin knew at a glance that this gift was a lot of thought, she smiled and thanked: "Thank you mother."
The young couple had lunch in Yao's yard.
After leaving the yard, the two walked back together. When passing the small garden, Gu Changqing suddenly stopped and said to Yuan Baolin, "I'm going to the military camp in a while, and I may not be back tonight. You can arrange it yourself earlier."
Without waiting for Yuan Baolin to speak, the old marquis walked over with his hands behind his back.
"Grandfather." The two saluted him.
The old marquis nodded: "I want to go out, you all go back to the yard."
Gu Changqing said, "Is my grandfather going to the military camp? I am walking with my grandfather."
The old marquis glanced at him strangely: "What are you doing with me? I'm giving you a holiday. You don't have to go to the military camp this month, so that you can accompany Baolin in the house."
Gu Changqing choked: "I..."
The corners of Yuan Baolin's lips twitched.
"I'm leaving." The old man left with a light expression.
Yuan Baolin smiled slightly: "Grandfather walk slowly."
"Yeah." The old man, who had already taken two steps, replied solemnly.
Yuan Baolin looked at Gu Changqing with regret: "What should I do? Grandfather won't let you go to the military camp."
Gu Changqing was at a loss. He practiced martial arts since he was a child, and when he was fifteen years old, he went on an expedition with his grandfather.
He sighed: "I'll go to the back mountain to practice swords for a while."
Yuan Baolin snorted and whispered, "You... still have the strength to practice swords?"
Gu Changqing didn't react for a while: "Of course I have..."
Speaking of this, he realized what Yuan Baolin meant.
It's only been two days, and the embarrassment has not subsided. He cleared his throat and said solemnly, "I'll take you back to the yard first."
After Gu Changqing sent Yuan Baolin back to her new house, she went to the back mountain to practice swordsmanship.
This practice will be practiced at night.
He returned to the yard sweating profusely, and found that Yuan Baolin was sitting in the room waiting for him. There were several delicate and delicious dishes on the table, but it seemed that they had been left for too long and the heat was gone.
"You're back?" Yuan Baolin greeted him.
He nodded slightly and asked her, "You... are you waiting for me?"
"Yeah." After Yuan Baolin answered his words, she said to the maid next to her, "Yue'e, take these meals to the kitchen to warm up."
"Okay lady." Yue'e brought the food down.
Yuan Baolin handed him a towel, he paused, took it, and then said, "If I come back late in the future, you can eat it yourself, and you don't have to wait for me."
Yuan Baolin said: "It would be very strange for me to eat first, and it would be easy to show off, and let people see that we are a fake husband and wife."
Gu Changqing thought for a while, it was such a rationale.
He said, "Then I... come back as soon as possible."
The two had eaten, washed up, and prepared to go to bed separately.
Gu Changqing was dressed tightly from head to toe, and even the neckline was tied to the highest level. Apart from being clean, her whole body exuded an aura of cold abstinence.
Yuan Baolin was not dressed as formally as he was, but she was still fully dressed.
Yuan Baolin picked up the red curtain and went to bed. After Gu Changqing closed the door, she went to hold the quilt on the floor as usual, but found that the quilt in the cabinet was gone.
He frowned.
Yuan Baolin stuck her head out of the curtain: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Gu Changqing frowned and said, "The mattress is gone."
Yuan Baolin asked, "How could this happen?"
Gu Changqing's brows were still furrowed: "It may be that the servant who cleaned the house saw the mattress was dirty, so he took it and washed it. I'll go and ask them to bring some new ones over."
"Hey! Gu Changqing!" Yuan Baolin stopped her, "If they took it away because they saw it was dirty, then you sleep on the floor tonight and let them find it dirty again tomorrow morning? It's okay to do it once or twice, but a lot. Well, sooner or later what you're sleeping on will be revealed."
The man in the storybook builds a floor on the ground in order not to have the same room with his wife. It seems like a perfect strategy. In reality, you can find out where the loopholes are by experimenting.
Is this guy blind
How can you not know that this mattress has been laid on the ground
Gu Changqing didn't think about it so much at first, mainly because he didn't expect that his grandfather would not let him go to the military camp.
"Come up and sleep." Yuan Baolin said, "The bed is big anyway."
Gu Changqing looked at the door that was bolted.
Yuan Baolin followed his gaze and said, "They are guarding outside. If you go to sleep in the study, there will be news of our newly-married disagreement in the whole house tomorrow."
Gu Changqing looked at the benches in the house: "I can sleep on the bench too."
Yuan Baolin: "Oh."
Gu Changqing placed the stool, but as soon as he lay down, the stool collapsed.
Gu Changqing, who was stunned by the fall, said: "..."
In the end, Gu Changqing could only lie down in the red tent.
The bed was huge, Yuan Baolin slept on the innermost side, he slept on the edge of the bed, and wished he could lay down a row in the middle.
Yuan Baolin was distracted, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in a matter of seconds.
Gu Changqing lay on her back, her hands folded on her abdomen, and she looked at the top of the Hongluo tent lightly, her ears were even breathing, and the tip of her nose was lingering with the soft fragrance that belonged to her.
The Hongluo tent completely gathered her fragrance in this narrow world, and the night made everything thicker.
And due to limited vision, other senses are amplified infinitely. In addition to her voice and breath, even the touch brought by the soft bed below and the silky quilt on her body stimulates him as a man in every way. instinct.
The image of the night of the bridal chamber flashed in my mind involuntarily—she was in tears under him, her delicate body trembling slightly...
He clenched his fists slightly, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and forcibly removed the distracting thoughts from his mind.
…
On the day Gu Changqing accompanied Yuan Baolin back home, it happened that there was a lantern festival on Chang'an Avenue.
Yuan Baolin wanted to go to the lantern festival, and Gu Changqing accompanied her there.
"I'm going too! I'm going too!" Yuan Tong said, holding her sister's hand.
Mrs. Yuan glared at her little daughter, her eyesight was lacking. Your sister-in-law and husband-in-law were visiting the lantern festival, what are you doing to join in the fun
However, Yuan Tong didn't receive the eye knife from her mother. She was thinking about her sister's death these days. She finally came back, and she couldn't bear to be separated from her sister so quickly!
"Can my sister come together?" Yuan Baolin asked for Gu Changqing's opinion.
"Of course." Gu Changqing responded generously and said to Father Yuan and Madam Yuan, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please rest assured, I will send people back after the lantern festival is over."
Yuan Tong smiled happily: "Brother-in-law is so nice!"
At this point, it was inconvenient for Mrs. Yuan to stop Yuan Tong, so she had to let her go.
When they came, Gu Changqing and Yuan Baolin were riding in the same carriage. At this time, there was more Yuan Tong, so Gu Changqing rode ahead to avoid suspicion.
In the carriage, the two sisters talked about themselves, Yuan Tong grabbed her sister's hand and whispered, "Sister, tell me the truth, is brother-in-law treating you well?"
Yuan Baolin said, "It's good."
"real?"
"real."
Yuan Tong nodded: "Then I can rest assured."
Gu Changqing had no intention of eavesdropping, but her ear was there. It seemed that Yuan Baolin never even told her closest sister about their fake husband and wife.
Chang'an Avenue was so congested that the carriage could no longer travel when it came to the side, and several people had to abandon their carriages and horses to walk.
Yuan Baolin and her sister walked arm in arm in front, and Gu Changqing followed quietly.
When night falls, the shops are brightly lit, and the stalls on both sides of the road are hung with dazzling lanterns. At a glance, the candles are shining brightly, like a long dragon winding in the night.
Yuan Baolin turned her head from time to time, and when she saw him there, she smiled at him, and then continued to stroll around the lanterns with her sister.
The three walked for a while. On the second floor of a restaurant, someone suddenly leaned out of the window and shouted at Gu Changqing in surprise, "Big brother?"
Gu Changqing paused and looked up.
Sister Yuan Baolin also looked at the man.
After Yuan Tong saw who the other party was, he instantly became disgusted: "Is it you?"
Gu Chengfeng's face darkened: "Why are you here?"
