The official documents of the daily government are delivered through the post station, ordinary people want to send a letter to their families, most of them have to be sent to the Dongsheng Inn, the inn either brings a message to call someone to pick it up, or personally sends it to the door, but this is only limited to the people in the county, like the far away ten miles and eight towns, the inn generally will not collect it.

Gu Sanniang asked, "Who sent this?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head, he just ran errands, he said, "I don't know, the shopkeeper said that it was brought by a caravan from the capital." ”

Hearing that the letter was sent from the capital, Gu Sanniang felt inexplicably 'chuckled' in her heart, the shopkeeper looked at her curiously, he sent a lot of letters for others, and most of the people who answered the letters were smiling, which was like her not happy but worried.

"Shopkeeper Gu, if it's okay, I still have to go back to work in the shopkeeper." The shopkeeper is still waiting for her to run away with silver.

Gu Sanniang came back to her senses, and then she counted more than ten copper coins to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper thanked him and turned to leave.

After arriving at the store, Gu Sanniang opened the oiled paper bag, the letter was very thin, about only one page, and there was a row of words written on the envelope, Gu Sanniang didn't know anyone except Shen Zhuo's name, she stood at the gate of the courtyard for a while, turned around and walked into the east chamber.

When he walked to the bottom of the corridor, Gu Sanniang's footsteps stopped and looked towards the school, at that time Shen Zhuo was taking the students to study, he was wearing a cyan half-worn robe, his hands behind his back and pacing back and forth in the school, occasionally there were students in the jungle, he stretched out his palm and touched the top of the student's head, those naughty students stuck out their tongues, and then shook their heads and read the book.

As if he had a heart, Shen Zhuo in the room turned his head to look out the window, he looked at Gu Sanniang's figure, his lips couldn't help but rise, the two looked at each other from a distance, Gu Sanniang's heart gradually settled down.

The children still had classes, Gu Sanniang didn't disturb them, she glanced at Shen Zhuo again, and shook the letter in her hand towards him, Shen Zhuo didn't care, only bowed her head slightly, Gu Sanniang sent the letter to Shen Zhuo's study, and didn't mention it since she returned to the West Chamber.

Soon, the students dismissed school, and after half an hour, Shen Zhuo came in, Gu Sanniang was preparing dinner, she saw him with a solemn expression, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Zhuo took out the letter and asked, "Where did this letter come from?" ”

Gu Sanniang replied: "It was sent by the shopkeeper of Dongsheng Inn, isn't there anything wrong?" ”

Hearing this, Shen Zhuo immediately fell silent, and Gu Sanniang also hung up, Shen Zhuo has rarely dealt with people, only one Dongfang Jian has come to see her in the past few years, he did not mention his past, and Gu Sanniang has never taken the initiative to ask, but now this sudden letter made her panic.

"Who sent the letter?" Gu Sanniang asked anxiously.

Shen Zhuo's brows were deep, and he said in a deep voice: "The letter was sent from Beijing, and the Dongfang Hou Mansion was raided, and now all the men in the Mansion have been imprisoned. ”

Gu Sanniang was taken aback, although she had often been running outside in the past few years, things like raiding her house were too far away from her, and she vaguely heard that Dongfang Jian was a little marquis, could it be that a royal prince like him could also be imprisoned lightly?

"This ...... How good is that? "Dongfang Jian is a good friend of Shen Zhuo, and he has helped their family before, and when he heard that his family had suffered such a misfortune, Gu Sanniang also became overwhelmed.

Seeing that Gu Sanniang had been bluffed, Shen Zhuo hurriedly reached out and touched her back, and comforted her: "Don't panic, this matter has nothing to do with us." ”

How can Gu Sanniang not panic, her chest suddenly jumped, this raid is not a trivial matter of fighting and scolding, if it is not good, it may lead to a catastrophe, besides, Shen Zhuo has not returned to Beijing for three years, but this letter was sent to him, what does the person who sent the letter mean?

Thinking of this, Gu Sanniang was shocked and frightened, and she asked, "Is this letter from the Dongfang family?" ”

It's not that she just cares about sweeping the snow in front of the door, their family of four is a small people, no matter how noble Shen Zhuo's identity was in the past, now he is just a teacher, and those conspiracies have nothing to do with him.

Shen Zhuo shook his head, and he said, "No, it was sent by someone else." ”

After thinking for a while, Shen Zhuo clasped Gu Sanniang's hand, and said: "If someone sends a letter over, don't take it anymore, these days I have restrained the children and told them not to go outside and move around." ”

Gu Sanniang didn't understand these things, she just nodded vigorously, Shen Zhuo finished explaining these words, and sent the letter to the fire without saying a word to burn it, the fire reflected his face, and his expression did not have a trace of waves, but Gu Sanniang knew that he was not a ruthless person, and now that Dongfang Jian was in trouble, he didn't know the future and fate of his family, Shen Zhuo must be more concerned than anyone else, but he was far away from the capital, and what way could he help Dongfang Jian?

This matter is like throwing a small pebble in their peaceful days, after the ripples, the fluctuations left are still there, Gu Sanniang does not dare to have the slightest carelessness, especially in this extraordinary period, she does not let Xiao Yezi and Yu Ge'er go out, it is herself, she originally planned to go to Tongcheng, but she also temporarily dispelled this idea.

In the next few days, another letter was sent one after another, Gu Sanniang remembered what Shen Zhuo said, but she didn't accept all the letters sent by the capital, so after a while, suddenly no one sent the letter again, Gu Sanniang was relieved, but Shen Zhuo's brows still did not stretch, his face was gloomy all day long, which made Xiao Yezi and Yu Ge'er not like to come to him.

After a few days like this, the government issued an official document, saying that the emperor is seriously ill today, and the medical officials in the palace are helpless, so they want to find a master of the apricot forest among the people, as long as he can heal the emperor's body, he will be crowned a big official.

After Gu Sanniang learned that the imperial court was looking for famous doctors, she couldn't help but feel up, and she also specially asked Qin Lin to inquire, but unfortunately although he was a tolerance in the government, but their Lixian County was far away from the capital, and he didn't know much more than Gu Sanniang.

On the contrary, it was Shen Zhuo, he was getting more and more worried in the past few days, Gu Sanniang knew that he must be worried about Dongfang Jian's situation, but she was just a woman who had no knowledge, she just wanted to comfort him, and she didn't know where to start.

This night, Gu Sanniang beckoned the two children to rest, and then sat under the lamp and played the strings, unconsciously, she had more than a dozen threads, and Shen Zhuo was still sitting in front of the bookcase to write letters, these two days, as long as he was free, the pen and ink in his hand did not stop, Gu Sanniang looked at him for a moment, sighed a few times in his heart, put down the yarn in his hand, and went to the kitchen to make him supper.

After a while, Gu Sanniang entered the study with a bowl of boiled noodles, she looked at his back at the desk, and said, "The night dinner is not delicious, you can eat a bowl of noodles and take a break." ”

Shen Zhuo turned around and looked at Gu Sanniang, the light and shadow were hazy, Gu Sanniang's eyebrows and eyes were soft and docile, which made Shen Zhuo's heartstrings that had been tense slightly relaxed, he put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "I'm just hungry, you just cook and eat, what kind of good luck did I have to marry such a considerate lady back?" ”

Gu Sanniang pursed her lips and smiled, she twisted a handkerchief and handed it to Shen Zhuo to wipe her hands, but she didn't say a word.

The room was quiet, when Shen Zhuo was eating noodles, Gu Sanniang sat quietly and looked at him, neither of them spoke, until Shen Zhuo finished eating a big bowl of noodles with soup and juice, Gu Sanniang asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

"It's delicious." Shen Zhuo nodded seriously.

The two looked at each other and smiled, but they were quiet together, and after a while, Shen Zhuo held Gu Sanniang's hand, he hesitated, and said, "I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

Gu Sanniang's body trembled suddenly, and then she lowered her eyes and said, "You say, I'll listen." ”

Looking at Gu Sanniang in front of her, Shen Zhuo's heart tightened, she was a smart little woman, and there were many words before he could say them, she had already guessed a few points.

"Dongfang has an accident, I can't sit idly by." Shen Zhuo looked at Gu Sanniang and said word by word.

Gu Sanniang bit her lip, from the time the letter came, she knew that Shen Zhuo would not be indifferent to his friend's suffering, if that was the case, he would not be the Shen Zhuo she knew.

The light shadow flickered a few times, Gu Sanniang's face flickered, she didn't say a word, which made Shen Zhuo hold her hands tightly, he looked at Gu Sanniang, her eyes had a lingering melancholy, Shen Zhuo had never seen it on her face in the past, he was afraid that she would cry in the next moment.

It's just that Gu Sanniang didn't cry, she looked at Shen Chu's face directly, and asked in a daze: "Is it dangerous?" ”

Shen Zhuo's chest froze, he wanted to lie to her that it was okay, but Gu Sanniang was not one of those ignorant women, so he paused before saying: "I don't know, the situation in the capital is very complicated, I went on this trip, and I may not be able to help anything." ”

Gu Sanniang rubbed the back of Shen Chu's hand, and she whispered: "I can't take the initiative to ask you to risk your life, if you want to go to Beijing to rescue Dongfang Jian, I won't stop you with my stunts." ”

Shen Zhuo couldn't hold back any longer, he stretched out his hand to hug Gu Sanniang, and said with self-reproach: "Sanniang, I'm sorry, I'm afraid to let you follow me." ”

Gu Sanniang leaned on his arms, this was a man she could rely on, no matter what happened, he would always stand in front of her to shelter her from the wind and rain and close her eyes.

"You promise me that you will return safely." Gu Sanniang said.

Shen Zhuo solemnly promised: "Don't worry, I will." ”
