42. Although the author has always been cute
The sound of the wheels of the carriage resounded on the empty stone street, no matter how lively the wedding was during the day, Yangzhou at night must still be under martial law, no one on the street, and every family closed their doors and turned off the lights to rest. Walking down the street, it feels like a ghost town, only the distant sound of a watch reminds Yi Cui that it is late at night.
The guests dispersed, Wang Fenghuai was also sent to the annex to rest, Song Wuyi was taking care of chores in the house, Yi Cui was wearing a coat, holding a small copper stove, leaning on the wall of the car, sleepy and drowsy. His legs and feet are inconvenient, Yan Zhao shouldn't have sent him to visit Zhao's family, but ** Qi is Yan Zhao's most relied on general, and Yi Cui's status in Yan Zhao's heart is clear to everyone, sending him here is to show that he attaches great importance to **, and the other is Yan Zhao's opportunity to contact Gu Chaoge in ChuangzΓ o Yi Cui, he insists that a fool will give up such a good girl.
But tonight is destined to backfire.
When Yi Cui walked slowly into the backyard of the Zhao family under the guidance of the soldiers, he first heard laughter.
The laughter of a man.
The first thing he saw was Gu Chaoge who was being lifted, and it was a posture like a child. She kicked her legs in the air in vain and said angrily: "Senior brother, I'm going to turn my face!" β
It was the same man's laughter again: "Little tear pack, didn't I show Brother Yang and them, I used to lift you up like this when you were a child, you like it the most!" β
Small tear packs? Hehe, that's ugly.
Sure enough, it was Chu Dongyuan's guy showing off. Before Yi Cui came in, Sheng San told him, and tonight Zhao Mansion staged a good scene of "recognizing relatives".
Lift high? It turns out that she likes to play this, it's a pity, a cripple like him who can't even stand on his feet, can't even play this kind of game with her for the rest of his life.
Chu Dongyuan is really a young talent with both civil and military skills. Itsui stood on crutches, his head slightly bowed, and suddenly smiled, but this smile was very strange, the disharmony of smiling and not smiling, everyone who saw it would definitely feel uncomfortable.
Gu Chaoge turned her back to Yi Cui and didn't see him, she was obviously very angry, and clenched her fists to hit Chu Dongyuan: "I'm not a child now!" β
"Yes, yes, it's a big girl, or a great doctor who solved the plague in Yangzhou, it's amazing! Senior brother is here to compensate the divine doctor! Chu Dongyuan laughed, took off his cloak with his hand, waved it into the air, and wrapped Gu Chaoge's petite body: "The night is windy, if the divine doctor falls ill, I can't afford the consequences!" He said a few words, which made Gu Chaoge lose her breath, she clutched Chu Dongyuan's black suede cloak, and muttered, "That's nature." β
The tone is really coquettish.
Yi Cui was familiar with the feeling of her talking, but he hadn't heard it in person for several days, and today he was really lucky to have this kind of "ear blessing".
He laughed again, sarcastically.
"I don't need it, put it away." He whispered to Sheng San behind him, and Sheng San understood, rewrapped the plush cloak that was intended for another person, and handed it to the accompanying soldiers to take back.
Yi Cui is not an invisible person, Yang Wei and the others who came to visit him have already discovered that he is coming, so when Chu Dongyuan and them showed off their junior sisters, the facial expressions of several people were very strange. Chu Dongyuan has been in the Red Turban Army for less than a year, and most of the time he has been fighting with Xin Yan in the south, and he has been on the front line for a long time, so he naturally doesn't know the first gossip in the rear of the Red Turban Army.
He reunited with his junior sister, and learned from Yang Wei and others and his junior sister that she had made outstanding contributions this year, Chu Dongyuan and Rong Youyan were so happy that their minds were all on Gu Chaoge, and they didn't notice that someone was coming again.
He didn't notice that Yang Wei and the others could see it clearly. When Chu Dongyuan took off his cloak and wrapped it in Dr. Gu, Mr. Yi's whole face turned green.
Don't ask how you can see whether a person's face is green or not at night, a man's intuition. Mr. Yi's smiling expression made Yang Wei and the others feel cold down their backs, the last time he showed this kind of expression was when he decided to show Wei Chongqian's head to the public.
It's a pity that Chu Dongyuan doesn't know. He had just met Yi Cui yesterday, and he was very polite and amiable, thinking about the military rations that had almost never been delayed, and he had a good impression of him. Coupled with the fact that this person has a leg disease, he has a little more sympathy and admiration for Yi Cui.
Therefore, when Yang Wei stepped forward to salute Yi Cui and said, "Mr. Yi is also here", Chu Dongyuan was very enthusiastic, and he took Gu Chaoge and pulled her forward: "Brother Yi, come and see, this is my fellow sister, she was played with me when she was a child, and the relationship is the best!" It was an unexpected surprise to meet Brother Zhao at Brother Zhao's mansion this time! Small Tear Pack...... Oh no, uh, Chaoge, this is ......"
"It's Yi Gongzi, I know." Gu Chaoge tugged at the placket of his shirt to prevent his senior brother from being embarrassed. Pulling his arm off his shoulder, he grabbed her so tightly that she was almost out of breath.
"I've been taking care of my legs, and we've known each other for a while." After she explained to Chu Dongyuan gently, she went to see Yi Cui again and explained to him: "General Chu, he ...... He is my fellow brother, and I only learned about it today. β
For some reason, when she looked at Yi Cui, she felt empty, and her eyes couldn't help but drift.
Oh? Don't dare to look at him, or don't want to look at him?
Yi Cui smiled slightly: "Yes, I never heard you mention it before, and I thought that Miao Xianggong was only one disciple of you." He smiled gently, but even Gu Chaoge sensed that something was wrong.
He's not happy?
Why?
Gu Chaoge was actually quite afraid that Yi Cui would be unhappy, he once lowered his face and forced her to do something she didn't want to do, and that kind of Yi Cui made her feel worried to this day. So seeing his expression tonight, Gu Chaoge subconsciously grabbed Chu Dongyuan's shirt beside him, senior brother should always protect her when he is next to him, right? Gu Chaoge thought so, and replied to him stumblingly: "Senior brother, he doesn't like medical skills, so he left the sect very early. And also, well, you never asked me. β
"Oh, that's mine, no." She hates him so much now, she doesn't even want to look at him if she says a word to him, she has to hide behind Chu Dongyuan? Yi Cui's eyes darkened, and his smile remained unchanged when he spoke, but Gu Chaoge felt ...... He seemed even more upset.
No, it's not that he's unhappy, he's obviously angry.
But...... Angry at what? Who's angry?
It can't be hers, he doesn't like her, and he can't be jealous because she is close to her senior brother, so she shouldn't be amorous and cranky.
Maybe he was too tired today, and that Wang Fenghuai was very annoying, so he was in a bad mood. Gu Chaoge explained to himself like this, but he grabbed Chu Dongyuan even tighter.
Chu Dongyuan is a coarse and fine person, if he can't see anything between Xiao Tear Pack and Yi Cui at this time, then he is a fool.
But what the specific relationship, he didn't see for a while.
The little tear pack seemed to be very afraid of this person, Chu Dongyuan felt strange, but it was not suitable to ask on this occasion, so he didn't think about it, grabbed Gu Chaoge's shoulder, and smiled at Yi Cui Haha: "Brother Yi came forward on behalf of Jun, but he has been chatting with us here for so long, hehe, let's talk about it in the first house." β
Yi Cui glanced at him lightly: "The patient in the room is resting, and it is not suitable to disturb, so I will not go in." Just come over to see the situation and ask Miss Gu if it's not the most suitable? β
"Oh, that, Mrs. Zhao has fallen asleep after drinking the medicine, the high fever has subsided, and she is fine for the time being. But it is possible to repeat, considering the situation of the fetus in the womb, there is still a danger, I will keep vigil at Zhao's house tonight," she replied in detail and seriously, like a student handing in homework to his master, "If there is no longer a fever during the day tomorrow, Mrs. Zhao will be fine, I am here to watch, you can rest assured." β
As soon as she said this, Chu Dongyuan stopped doing it: "Vigil? Can you afford it? The girl's vigil is easy to get old, why don't you go back to the house to rest first, I am here to watch, and I will call you whenever there is a situation. β
"Oh? General Chu and Miss Gu are from the same school, presumably their medical skills are also excellent? Yi Cui asked lightly, he actually asked knowingly, Sheng San had already told him about the previous situation, he asked like this, just to see Chu Dongyuan embarrassed.
Who knew that Chu Dongyuan felt good about himself, he laughed: "That's!" I have read a lot of medical books, but my practical experience is poor, not as good as my junior sister. β
"It's not 'as good as that', you won't treat people at all." Gu Chaoge quietly dismantled his senior brother's platform, and at the same time stayed away from him very cleverly: "I'm not worried, it's better to stay in person, people's lives are at stake." β
While talking, the ** who had been guarding Mrs. to put her to sleep got up, he gently closed the door, and saw that the brothers were still there, and Yi Cui also came, and couldn't help but be very moved: "She is asleep, there is Dr. Gu here, it must be fine, everyone go back, thank you today." He saluted Yang Wei and the others, and greeted Yi Cui again: "Mr. Yi, why did you come in person because of your inconvenient legs, alas, I'm sorry for your majesty today." β
"No one would have expected Mrs. Zun to get sick, what are you sorry for? As long as the mother and child are safe, the king will recite Amitabha Buddha for you. Yi Cui smiled, this time the smile was warm, which made the ** look at the ironing in his heart.
"Miss Gu said that she would stay and keep vigil, and she couldn't stay up all night, so why don't you arrange a side room in this courtyard to let her rest, and let the maids take turns to keep vigil, and call her if there is something. This room is full of female dependents, and a few of us big men have a lot of inconvenience here, so you will leave later, and I will send someone to send Miss Gu's clothes and toiletries from the Taishou Mansion. If there are any medicinal materials needed or other difficult matters, even if you send someone to find me in the Taishou Mansion, I will do my best. β
In a few words, he arranged the next things properly, and felt that his arrangement was no better, so of course he did it.
However, he not only arranged where Gu Chaoge would rest, but also considered what she needed to go to bed and what clothes she would change into tomorrow, which was a bit ...... Overly thoughtful.
This kind of single-handed style is almost as if Gu Chaoge is his person.
Chu Dongyuan saw it in his eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze turned between Yi Cui and Gu Chaoge, who had no eye contact. Then he dragged the senior sister standing next to him, bent down and whispered in her ear: "Little tear pack, your relationship with Brother Yi, huh?" β
Gu Chaoge's eyes flashed with a weak heart, but after thinking about it, what kind of good heart did she have, everyone rejected her, and there was nothing between the two of them. So she shook her head very seriously and whispered, "What, Yi Gongzi is my patient, otherwise?" β
Or else? Hmph, Chu Dongyuan laughed, no matter what there was, he would know sooner or later.
He was thinking like this, and thinking of himself as a senior brother who should discipline and protect his junior sister, and when he was thinking about how to make Little Tear Bag obedient in the future, tell him everything, and rely on him, Yi Cui came to interrupt.
Of course, he had to interrupt, and he couldn't hear what Gu Chaoge and Chu Dongyuan were talking about, but just the behavior of biting his ears so close was enough to make him feel irritable.
"General Chu, you can't seem to help much here, right?" Yi Cui looked at Chu Dongyuan with a strange expression: "It's late at night, don't you plan to leave yet?" β
This is a bit rushed, and it is not the usual style of Itsui. Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Chu Dongyuan to answer, Yi Cui's gaze turned between Chu Dongyuan and Gu Chaoge again, and said with a faint expression: "Miss Gu is not married yet, even if she is a senior brother in the same family, she behaves so intimately, I am afraid that there is something wrong." β
Heh, he's pretty wide.
Is this unsightly? Eye-catching him?
Chu Dongyuan hooked his lips and smiled, and was about to do a few more "intimate" manners show Yi Cui, but Gu Chaoge had already come out of the crook of his arm: "Senior brother, you go, everyone has to go." "What are you doing here?
Yi Cui's eyes just now made her feel like her hair was standing on end! She was sure and sure he was angry! And he is very sulky, and the more he doesn't show it, the more it shows that he is angry!
But why...... Gu Chaoge thought bitterly, could it be because of her......
She lowered her head and frowned, people who didn't know thought she was unhappy, at least that's what Itsuri thought. She didn't even want to look at him, she was rushing Chu Dongyuan away on the surface, but in fact, she was hinting that he should go.
Thinking about it like this, he even smiled bitterly, and he couldn't maintain the hypocritical smile on the surface, and said tiredly: "What Miss Gu said is that inconsequential idle people and others really shouldn't be here. After speaking, he took his crutches, said goodbye to **, and left with Yang Wei and others, who were embarrassed to watch the play. Of course, Yi Cui will not forget Chu Dongyuan, he is gone, there is no reason to let Chu Dongyuan stay by Gu Chaoge's side to take advantage.
Yi Cui didn't open his mouth to urge, but he would let Yang Wei urge, Chu Dongyuan patted Gu Chaoge's shoulder: "Little tear bag, I'm leaving, you're okay." β
"Hmm." Gu Chaoge nodded blankly, but her eyes were looking in the direction of Yi Cui, and she felt that Yi Cui's words were said to herself. However, she didn't think he was an idle person at all......
