Needless to say, the person who came in was Shen Zhuo's mentor Xie Bai, who was collecting medicine in the nearby mountains, and inadvertently saw smoke rising from the direction of his home, Xie Bai knew that no one else would come in the mountains, so he turned around and returned home.

Xie Bai glanced at Gu Sanniang and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Shen Zhuo replied: "This is my newly married lady Gu. ”

After that, he turned his head to Gu Sanniang and said, "This is the first thing I did, and you will also call him Mr. with me." ”

Gu Sanniang hurriedly gave a blessing to Xie Bai, and called him Mr. Xie in her mouth.

Xie Bai heard that Shen Zhuo had remarried, but he took a serious look at Gu Sanniang, he saw that she was quite beautiful, neatly dressed, with a bun on her head and a silk flower on her sideburns, she didn't look like a woman from a rich family, so he bowed his head and said to Shen Zhuo: "It looks like a good boy who knows cold and heat." ”

With a smile on his face, Shen Zhuo said, "That's natural, this is the daughter-in-law that the disciple has been waiting for for three years." ”

When the two of his teachers and students were talking, Gu Sanniang stood behind and didn't interject a word, Xie Bai just caught up with the meal, Gu Sanniang went into the house and took an extra set of dishes and chopsticks, she guessed that Shen Zhuo and his husband must have a lot to say, after sending the dishes and chopsticks, they automatically vacated the place, and didn't want her to turn around and leave, but Xie Bai called her and said, "Don't be formal, just sit down and eat together." ”

Gu Sanniang didn't sit down, but raised her eyes to look at Shen Zhuo first, and Shen Zhuo said with a smile: "Since what Mr. said, you just have to stay." ”

With his words, Gu Sanniang sat down next to Shen Zhuo.

During the meal, the three of them did not speak, there were no good dishes in the mountains, Gu Sanniang simply fried two dishes, and after eating, as the only woman, the work of cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks fell to her, she cleaned up the table with her hands and feet, and brought out a pot of hot tea, Xie Bai looked at her busy figure, looked at Shen Zhuo and said: "It seems that this little woman is very much in line with your heart." ”

Shen Zhuo held a folding fan in his hand and shook it a few times, and replied with a smile on the corner of his lips: "Not only do I like her, but Brother Yu'er also loves her." ”

Xie Bai looked at Shen Zhuo's expression carefully, he and Shen Zhuo had not seen each other for four or five years, and today he suddenly brought a woman to visit, and it was obvious that this little woman was very important to him, so that his whole person seemed to have become different, but to investigate the difference, Xie Bai couldn't say it for a while.

"How many days are you going to stay?" Shepber asked.

Shen Zhuo looked at Gu Sanniang, who was washing in the kitchen, and said, "My wife and I have been away from home for many days, and we will go back tomorrow." ”

Xie Bai nodded, the teacher and student sat opposite each other, and there seemed to be nothing extra to say, Shen Zhuo shook his fan, and glanced at Gu Sanniang in the room from time to time, Gu Sanniang occasionally turned around, and he could collide with Shen Zhuo's gaze.

"Dongfang has returned to Beijing." Xie Bai said suddenly.

Shen Zhuo was a little surprised, a few days ago, he and Gu Sanniang got married, and Dongfang Jian sent a congratulatory gift, at that time he didn't know that he had returned to the capital, but he didn't expect that even Xie Bai, who was in the mountains, had already learned about it.

Shen Zhuo pondered for a moment and said, "I am afraid that it is not a wise move to return to Beijing at this time." ”

Xie Bai meant the same thing as him, he said: "The situation in Beijing is becoming more and more treacherous and changeable, after the Dragon Boat Festival, the dog emperor has been lingering on the sickbed, and now I heard that he has not been to the morning court for half a month." ”

After that, he glanced at Shen Zhuo, and said: "The East Palace is weak, the An family controls the government, and in the long run, it will be a matter of time before the East Palace is abolished." ”

When he spoke, Shen Zhuo always bowed his head and remained silent, Xie Bai shook his head lightly, and said: "I am not saying these words to you, not to persuade you to reconcile with the Jiang family, I just want to tell you, how can there be eggs under the nest?" Whether it is the east wind overpowering the west wind or the west wind overpowering the east wind, as long as one side seizes the power, there will be a great purge between the DPRK and China. ”

"Dongfang Zhen's temperament is not restrained, for the sake of the future of the family, he has to return to the Hou Mansion, and now among the juniors of the Jiang Mansion, it is difficult to have a person who is worthy of the big responsibility, and the inferior party has fallen in the power struggle, so I don't need to say anything to you about the end."

Shen Zhuo raised his eyelids and looked at his husband, and he asked unhurriedly, "Did he come to ask you to persuade me?" ”

Xie Bai smiled, and he said: "Your father has a haughty temperament all his life, and it is more difficult to make him bow his head to others than to ask for his life, how can he ask me to persuade you." ”

Both sides quieted down, and after a long time, Shen Zhuo asked: "Sir, you have lived in seclusion in the countryside for more than ten years, and many of them have asked you to go out of the mountain with a lot of money, why do you want to refuse this low-hanging glory and wealth?" ”

Xie Bai picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said with a mocking face: "There are too many stupid and vulgar people in this world, and it just so happens that I have another disease, but if I get close to them, I will inevitably have chest tightness and headaches, and in order to save my life, I have to stay away from them." ”

Shen Zhuo smiled, in addition to his talent, this poisonous tongue is also the best in the world.

"Ah Zhuo, you and Dongfang Jian are the same, you are born like this, you can't hide and can't escape, if it weren't for the Dog Emperor and Concubine An......" Speaking of this, Xie Bai suddenly remembered Shen Zhuo's heart knot, so he stopped his mouth stiffly.

There was no change in Shen Zhuo's face, he added tea to Xie Bai's teacup, and said in his mouth: "Sir, have you ever been to Lixian?" ”

Xie Bai didn't know why he asked, so he said: "When I was young, I used to pass by there, but it was just a remote county town, and there was nothing special about it. ”

Shen Zhuo glanced at Gu Sanniang in the room again, and he said lightly: "I thought, there must be someone in the dark who guided me to Lixian, otherwise I would have chosen to stop in Lixian three years ago, and I got to know her for this." ”

Now that he thinks about it, Shen Zhuo himself feels incredible, if three years ago, someone said that he would marry Gu Sanniang as his wife, he would not believe it, but fate is so wonderful, he and Gu Sanniang became husband and wife, for this little woman, there are many things that are not worth mentioning in his opinion.

"Lixian is a small place, the days are long, the years are long, the little things of sesame mung beans can make the neighbors talk for half a month, but I have never felt bored, sometimes she sits in the house embroidery, I can quietly watch her for half a day, such days are really precious, once broken, there is no going back."

When he said these words, Shen Zhuo's expression was very calm, he looked at Gu Sanniang's back, and said: "She is an ordinary woman, and if she earns a few more dollars of silver every day, she will be happy for a few days, Mr. knows, the capital is a big whirlpool that devours people, once you walk in, you can no longer withdraw lightly, I am reluctant to make her frightened, and more importantly, after being with her, I have become inexplicably greedy and afraid of death." ”

Xie Bai looked at the disciple in front of him, he sighed and said, "This world, sooner or later, it will be the world of young people!" ”

After saying this, Xie Bai put down the teacup and said no more.

Gu Sanniang, who was busy working in the kitchen, didn't know the conversation between the teacher and the student, and throughout the afternoon, she kept scrubbing around the stove, Xie Bai had lived alone for many years, and his life was extremely simple, Gu Sanniang couldn't help but wonder how he survived.

On the same day, Shen Zhuo and Gu Sanniang lived in Xie Bai's thatched hut, and on the second day, the sky was just slightly bright, Gu Sanniang woke up, she moved, and Shen Zhuo beside her also opened her eyes, Gu Sanniang said: "Woke you up?" ”

Shen Zhuo stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around her waist, and then heard a sound outside, so he said with a smile: "Mr. has not changed one set of five poultry plays every day." ”

The mountain is much colder than the mountain, although it is only September, the morning is already cold, Gu Sanniang pulled the quilt up a little, she thought about it, and said softly: "I don't know if the two children are good at home." ”

This is the first time she has been away from home for so long, and she doesn't realize it when she is busy during the day, as long as she is at night or quiet, she will talk about Xiaoyezi and Brother Yu'er, and there is still a shop at home, although she has Zhu Xiaoyue to take care of her, she can't help but worry about her heart.

Shen Zhuo said: "When we go down the mountain, we will rush home directly, and we will arrive home in a few days." ”

After speaking, he specially advised: "Mr. has a few wild ginseng sticks that are hundreds of years old, as well as various pills he concocted, don't forget to bring some with you when you leave." ”

Gu Sanniang laughed out loud, and she said, "You have really become a thief in Mr. Xie's mouth, and you are not afraid that he will beat you out with a stick." ”

Shen Zhuozhen said eloquently: "No, if you don't take these things, they will be put in vain, and only by using them can you live up to Mr. Wang's hard work." ”

"Crooked!" Gu Sanniang spat at him, then got up and got out of bed.

When Gu Sanniang walked out of the house, Xie Bai's set of five poultry plays had just finished, he wiped his sweat with a cloth towel, and when he saw Gu Sanniang coming out, he only nodded to her, Gu Sanniang returned the salute and went into the kitchen to work.

After breakfast, Shen Zhuo and Gu Sanniang were about to go down the mountain, before leaving, Shen Zhuo really looted a lot of good things from his husband, so angry that Xie Bai scolded the master for his misfortune, and actually accepted such a disciple who had been plucked by the goose, Shen Zhuo didn't care, and said that he was offended, but the hand that picked up things in the baggage never stopped for a moment, which embarrassed Gu Sanniang on the side.

The two of them were leaving, and Xie Bai didn't send them much, so he sent them to the door, and said: "This time, I won't see you for a few years, you can take care of your life." ”

Shen Zhuo looked at his husband and replied: "Sir, please take care, I will bring my daughter-in-law and children to see you in the future." ”

Xie Bai's face turned dark and said, "Excuse me!" ”

After saying that, he closed the courtyard door and drove his husband and wife down the mountain mercilessly.
