Chapter 148: The Most Romantic Thing
Although Gu Qiluo has been married for a few months, she has become the backbone of everyone, although she has left enough money for the mansion, Aunt Xiang has been in charge of the family for more than ten years, and it is impossible for anything to happen, but thinking that she is going to leave and will come back in two or three years, everyone feels empty in their hearts.
Early in the morning on the day of departure, Xiao Jiangbei and Gu Qiluo came to bid farewell to Xu Taijun, Xiao Jingshu, Xiao Jingyue and Peng Cherry and other girls surrounded Gu Qiluo, wiping their eyes and tears one by one, Peng Cherry sobbed and cried: "Sister-in-law, come back early, I heard that the hot spring villa is good, but I haven't been to you once." ”
Gu Qiluo said with a smile: "That hot spring villa is indeed good, even if I am not there, you can go over with your sisters and aunts, but there is no prey to eat." It's just that this is easy to do, I told you, there are a lot of old forests in Liaodong, let your brother go hunting when he has nothing to do, and bring you a cart of mountain delicacies and game back at the end of the year, don't cry. ”
Here, Xu Taijun and Aunt Xiang also instructed Xiao Jiangbei: "In the bitter cold land of Liaodong, it is not easy for your daughter-in-law to go with you, you usually have to take care of her more, don't make her angry." If you have a body, remember to send it back immediately to raise the baby, in the final analysis, the doctor is still better in the capital. ”
Xiao Jiangbei whispered: "That doctor Ying will also run at both ends of Liao Tokyo City in the future, and he is the best doctor." Before the words fell, Xu Taijun shook his head and said: "After all, there is only one person in Dr. Ying, and he is a big man, and he mainly depends on the midwife. That Liaodong is a barren land, what good midwives and nurses can there be? It's better to send it back, you listened to your grandmother. ”
Xiao Jiangbei knew that this was the old man's hope for his grandchildren. It's just that he also looked forward to seeing his children for the first time when they were born, so he said vaguely and perfunctorily: "Okay, well, it will depend on the situation when the time comes, as long as the situation allows, I will definitely send her back." ”
"When this bastard boy hears what he says, he's perfunctory to us."
Until Xiao Jiangbei and Gu Qiluo left, and Aunt Xiang came back after sending them away, Xu Taijun still remembered the perfunctory attitude of his grandson. Snorted coldly: "I don't care, as long as Qiluo is pregnant, I will immediately send someone to pick it up for me." How old am I, and when this day comes, my neck will grow, and when my grandson is born, I will see him for the first time. ”
**************************
Unlike Gu Qiluo's original history, the Liaodong General Military Mansion was set up in Guangning Mansion. Because it is mainly aimed at the Jurchens and the tribal settlements of various ethnic groups. Therefore, the Liaodong General Military Mansion of the Great Xia Dynasty was located in Shanchun Mansion, and Gu Qiluo looked at the map and compared, it should be the modern Changchun City. Today's Liaodong is based on Shanchun Mansion as the cultural and economic center, and it is still in a state of vast land and sparsely populated on the whole.
Along the way, on August 15, I happened to come to Shanhaiguan, so as not to miss the accommodation. In the afternoon, they settled down in a village.
The village was not rich, and in the evening. Gu Qiluo ordered people to distribute the moon cakes and other snacks bought on the road to dozens of families in the village, so that those villagers were very grateful, not to mention the children, who may not even be able to eat such delicious dim sum during the Chinese New Year, but now every family has a pack, how can they not help but be excited? One by one, they ran over to kowtow to Xiao Jiangbei and Gu Qiluo to thank them, they were timid at first, but soon they saw that Gu Qiluo was amiable, and everyone was not afraid, pestering her to tell her what they had seen on the road, until their respective mothers called them home for dinner, and they dispersed in a hurry.
Xiao Jiangbei and Gu Qiluo did not have many entourages, but there were also twenty or thirty people, who were scattered in the villagers' homes at this time. The husband and wife and Xinghua Chunyu are in this family is a widow, the villagers call her sister-in-law Liu, about forty years old, with a pair of children, not very talkative, but there is always a kind smile on the face, especially to make a good dish, Xiao Jiangbei and Gu Qiluo Xinghua Chunyu are very happy to eat at night.
After eating, I went out to walk around the village, it was dark, Xiao Jiangbei and Gu Qiluo walked back, and saw Sister-in-law Liu sitting on the stone bench under the grape trellis in the courtyard with a pair of children and apricot blossoms and spring rain, the stone table has been placed with four-color fruit snacks, an incense burner is full of millet, the incense has not been lit, Gu Qiluo knows that this is prepared for the moon.
"Coming back? Just now, the two girls and I were talking about adults and madames. Sister-in-law Liu saw them come back, so she stood up, she and the people in the village didn't know Xiao Jiangbei's identity, only knew that this was a military attache who went to Liaodong to take office, but they didn't know that this was Xiao Jiangbei, the world's famous god of war, and they didn't know that he was the youngest marquis in the Great Xia Dynasty, otherwise just this identity would be enough for this small village to blow up.
After chatting with Liu under the grape trellis for a while, the disc seemed to see the moon slowly revealing from behind the mountain, Liu inserted incense in the incense burner, and worshiped the moon very seriously with everyone, and each prayed silently in their hearts.
When the three incense sticks burned out, Liu distributed the fruit and dim sum on the table to everyone to eat, and the two children each got a piece of moon cake, shouting happily, chasing and playing in the yard, so after a while, Liu called them home to sleep, and asked Xiao Jiangbei and Gu Qiluo and others to rest early.
Xiao Jiangbei glanced at Gu Qiluo, only to hear her smile and say: "I'm not tired, it's rare to have the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is only one a year, I want to sit outside for a while, Sister-in-law Liu and the children go to rest." ”
Liu also knew that these rich young people were different from Zhuang families like themselves, they didn't have to face the loess with their backs to the sky, so they naturally had a lot of time to pay attention to the wind and snow, so they smiled and said a few words, and then took the children to rest by themselves.
Xinghua and Chunyu also yawned, and Gu Qiluo said, "You guys go to sleep too." Seeing the two of them shaking their heads, she smiled and said: "Go to sleep, you don't have my ability, you can fall asleep when the carriage is bumpy, I slept in the carriage in the afternoon, so I am not sleepy at all at this time, and you can't afford to accompany me." ”
Xinghua and Chunyu heard her say this, Fang stood up and went to sleep. Here Xiao Jiangbei pointed to a big lying cow stone next to him and said: "Let's go, let's come here and sit side by side, it's better than sitting alone on a stone bench." ”
Gu Qiluo smiled: "Sit in a row, eat fruits?" As he spoke, he came to sit on the Lying Cow Stone according to his words.
Xiao Jiangbei was stunned and said, "Qiluo wants to eat fruit? Hmm, the fruit on the table has been taken back by Sister-in-law Liu, and you didn't say it just now. As he spoke, he turned his head and looked around, and said to himself, "I remember the ...... of a pear tree around here."
"Poof, are you going to be a pear thief at night?" Gu Qiluo couldn't help laughing, but listened to Xiao Jiangbei say: "What thief?" Tomorrow I give them money. It's a pity that the ripe grapes on this trellis were eaten by those two little guys, and none of them were left for us. ”
Gu Qiluo said: "Country children, isn't this the fun of every day? Since the budding of this grape, I have probably watched it every day, and now there are still a few bunches of green grapes, which is already good. I just casually said a nursery rhyme, I don't want to eat fruit, don't be busy. ”
Xiao Jiangbei sat down and gently hugged his beloved wife's waist, Gu Qiluo took the opportunity to lean her head on his shoulder, watching the bright moon in the sky move its position like a snail at an invisible speed to the naked eye, she sighed and said: "I used to be at home, and I liked to see the moon the most, and the moon at that time was the same as at this time, right?" Today's people don't see the ancient times and months, and this month once looked like the ancients, but unfortunately, they can't go back. ”
"The moon is naturally the same." Xiao Jiangbei listened to his wife's tone a little sad, so he hugged her tighter, and said softly: "As for saying that you can't go back, this is even more stupid, it's just the countryside of Hangzhou, you want to go back, when I have time, I'll accompany you back, you like to live there, we will stay longer, why can't you go back?" But your grandmother, the old man is getting old, and he can't stand the fatigue of the car, and I'm afraid he really can't go back. ”
Gu Qiluo smiled, knowing that Xiao Jiangbei would not understand her sadness and longing, and had the heart to tell him about his origin, but it has become a common practice for people who travel through to almost always keep secrets for a lifetime, and besides, there is actually nothing to say, except for surprise, what can it be? Her specialty is business, and now she has begun to develop gradually, and she can't help with other things, technology or medicine. What's more, it's better to let history develop naturally.
"Jiangbei, I have a secret, but I won't tell you now, perhaps...... Well, when we are all old, you don't have to fight as an official anymore, you can be a leisurely marquis, and I don't have to take care of business affairs anymore, the two of us are boring every day except for teasing our grandson, and occasionally quarrel or something, if by then, you still love me as you do now, I will tell you that secret. ”
Gu Qiluo leaned on Xiao Jiangbei's shoulder, and said lightly with a smile, only to hear him smile and say: "Guarding you, growing old slowly, watching the children go from babbling to starting a family, and then teasing Sun An to enjoy his family, such a day, it really feels beautiful to think about." Don't worry, I'll let you tell that secret. ”
Xiao Jiangbei lowered his head, gently and firmly confessed his intentions, and suddenly saw Gu Qiluo in his arms raise his head and laughed softly: "Oh, for the sake of you being more affectionate than Jin Jian, I'll sing you two songs." After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Xiao Jiangbei to speak, so she hummed softly and slowly: "The most romantic thing I can think of is to grow old with you slowly, collect bits and pieces of laughter along the way, and sit in a rocking chair to chat slowly in the future." The most romantic thing I can think of is to grow old with you until we are old and can no longer go anywhere, and you still regard me as a treasure in the palm of your hand. ”
"Kira, you sing so well, don't worry, we will grow old together, I will make you happy and happy for the rest of your life, when you are old, we will not quarrel, just sit in the rocking chair and talk about these things slowly, that is enough to pass the boring time." (To be continued......)
