Chapter 396: Hiding My Heart
One doesn't know.
If you want to say that people have problems, but after so many days, there is no movement from them.
To say that there is no problem, but Lord Sun's behavior is really suspicious.
The Gu family had never reassured him anyway.
Mother just said that she had been to Lord Sun's mansion and that there was nothing unusual around her when she visited them.
Gu Zizhong always felt something wrong in her heart, but she couldn't say it.
So worried about the past, she fell asleep after a while.
But the next morning, as soon as she arrived, there was movement outside.
To be precise, it was Feng Ming who woke her up.
Feng Ming said that Zhu Shizi was here.
Gu Zizhong took out the pocket watch in his pocket and looked at it carefully, it was still dark outside.
And Feng Ming also said that Zhu Shizi came over with the gift list of the dowry, saying that there was something wrong.
Gu Zizhong didn't change his makeup, he simply wore pajamas, a big cotton jacket outside, and the cold wind whirred as soon as he went out.
She yawned and followed Feng Ming out the door.
As a result, I happened to meet Zhu Shizi who came over on the way.
"Purple weight. Zhu Shizi came to her with a gift list.
Gu Zizhong stared at his face, and saw that his cheeks were red, and he was almost bleeding from freezing.
With an "ah" sound, she reached out and stroked Zhu Shizi's face, and the cold feeling simply pierced her heart.
"It's so cold outside, what are you doing here?" Gu Zizhong was concerned, and without waiting for Zhu Shizi to answer, he continued, "Let's go, let's go into the house first." ”
Zhu Shizi followed in angrily, and when he came to the table, he first received a cup of hot tea from Lord Gu.
Feng Ming brought hot tea, hot water, and put the county lord's changed clothes on the bedside, looking at the county lord's eyes, he understood, nodded and retreated.
Zhu Shizi's spirit eased for a long time before he came to his senses, although the cold wind froze his face was blood-red, but his smile was even warmer: "I'll take advantage of the fact that it's still early, and come over quickly." Otherwise, at ten o'clock in the morning, my father would get up and let me do this and that. ”
When she heard it, she was Wan'er.
Between his eyebrows, Gu Zizhong stretched out his hands and put them on Zhu Shizi's shoulders, blushing with shame, biting his red lips with white teeth, frowning and blinking, he already showed a coquettish attitude: "Shizi, let's go together!"
Zhu Shizi was obviously ready: "I came here so early for this. My father kept me busy every day, let alone have free time. That's why I'm here early today. ”
Gu Zizhong took out the gift slip from Zhu Shizi's hand, and looked at it to himself: "Oh, I see." I don't think there was any cloth on the last gift list, right?"
Zhu Shizi nodded: "It turns out that the county lord remembers it." ”
Gu Zizhong said solemnly: "Of course I remember, in my experience, the boxes you brought last time were missing, and after my aunt read the gift list, I always felt that something was missing. ”
Gently patting the gift list on the table, Gu Zizhong clapped his hands again: "What, do you think I'm too expensive to give a dowry?"
Zhu Shizi said solemnly: "How is that possible? County Lord, you don't know how hard I spent last time to get you the silver......
Gu Zizhong was joking with him, he actually took it seriously.
She chuckled, "Oh, I know. Otherwise, I wouldn't have remembered you like that. I've heard that you've met Japanese people in Hangzhou?"
It's all trifles.
Zhu Shizi laughed, but it seemed a little unnatural, and there was no indifference and domineering between his eyebrows: "No...... No. I'm good with it!"
Gu Zizhong originally wanted to praise him with this matter, why did he look flustered?
She was puzzled and frowned: "What's the matter, I heard that you led your men and horses to beat all the Japanese people in that area." ”
Zhu Shizi didn't want to mention this matter more and more, and now that Gu County Lord was chasing after him, he was a little impatient: "What's the matter." ”
Gu Zizhong saw that something was wrong with him, so he changed his color and said seriously: "Shizi, you ...... What's on your mind?"
Zhu Shizi was in a dilemma, hesitated for a long time, patted his thigh, and whispered to himself: "Who sent this to me......"
Gu Zizhong frowned and was puzzled: "Huh?"
Zhu Shizi was serious again, facing Gu Zizhong with a smile.
It's just that this time the smile seems unnatural: "No...... I was about to come back with the silver taels, but I only met a small number of Japanese people on the way. ”
The more he talked, the less confident he became.
Gu Zizhong still asked.
He really had no choice, so he said honestly: "County Lord, do you know why I haven't been going out much for so many days?"
Gu Zizhong shook her head, she didn't even think about it, she wanted to hear Zhu Shizi tell her about the situation as soon as possible.
Zhu Shizi coughed and said, "We accidentally injured the Ming army. ”
Yes?
The red handkerchief in Gu Zizhong's hand almost fell off.
He said solemnly: "County Lord, listen to me, I have been very dangerous in the past two days, and it is not good to go out and show up to meet people. I also sneaked out today. ”
Gu Zizhong was so anxious that his wrinkles came out: "Tell me what's going on." ”
He slapped his thigh again and said, "There is no impermeable wall." Forget it......"
Rubbing his hands against each other, putting a small gem in the palm of his hand and playing with it, Zhu Shizi said: "Actually, I committed a murder that day. I came back from Hangzhou with people carrying silver, but as soon as I left the city, I was stopped by a group of widows. Those people were ostensibly dressed as would-be pirates. We saw the opportunity and turned against the customer, and caught them off guard. Results ......"
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Shizi continued: "It turned out later that those people were wearing the clothes of the Ming army. It's just the clothes of the would-be robbers on their outside. ”
Gu Zizhong was even more puzzled.
Zhu Shizi said: "In fact, they were deliberately arranged by the Ming army on the top of the mountain twenty miles outside Hangzhou, wanting to lure pirates in this way. As we passed by, they mistook us for pirates. ”
Gu Zizhong was so anxious that he almost patted his chest, and sat in his original position and moved around: "How is that possible? You are people from the imperial court, how can they admit their mistakes?"
Zhu Shizi lowered his voice: "In order not to attract attention, we all wore people's clothes, and we didn't even bring knives on our bodies. Who knew we'd get that kind of thing?"
Gu Zizhong was anxious, but he still looked at Zhu Shizi: "They deserve it, who let them stop people if they don't recognize it clearly?"
But then again, is the city of Hangzhou so dangerous? There will be pirates just twenty miles away?
