(407) In the middle of the night, we set off for Yunzhou
At the alternation of the fourth day of the first lunar month and the fifth midnight of the first lunar month, Lin Mengyao was still sleeping hazy, and was called out by Gu Beichen. It turned out that she was going to rob the God of Wealth, worried that the sound of firecrackers would startle her. Lin Mengyao got up, ate some supper, and when her spirit came up, the sound of firecrackers outside rang out one after another, and soon they rang out one after another.
The sound of firecrackers continued for half an hour, and even the smell of gunsmoke filled the air.
"But okay?" Gu Beichen came in, and Lin Mengyao helped him dust off the firecracker crumbs standing on his body.
"Yes, alright. But you can't sleep, so you'll have to pack some clothes and come with me. ”
In the middle of the night, do you want to pack up and leave?
Isn't there something wrong?
Lin Mengyao changed color for a while, and Gu Beichen apologized again and again: "It's all because I didn't make it clear, don't worry, it's just that my father is worried that setting off in the morning will alarm the rich and noble families in Tonglu City." ”
I see!
However, Lin Mengyao seems that Gu Mengde's concern is very real, and on the first day of the first lunar month, some people gave up the custom of warming the New Year, and their eyes went to Gu's mansion to stammer. Today, if you know that Gu Fu will go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he will not be able to send him ten miles away!
However, prosperity will decline, all the glory of this Gu Mansion is owned by Gu Mengde, if Zhu Huaxiu knew everything that day, or she had already known everything, she had poisoned her, then could Gu Mansion still be like this? When the time comes, Mo said whether she can use the power of the Gu Mansion to seek revenge on the Meng family, even if her life can be saved, it will be difficult. Of course, Lin Mengyao will not show these concerns on her face, she will be at ease when she comes, and she will take one step at a time. And she still has chips in hand, and when it comes, she always has to figure out a way.
Lin Mengyao called Cuizhu to pack up his things, and he wrote a text message on the desk, asking Guo Wei to take it with him, and asked him to find someone to send the letter to Fuyang Lin Mansion after dawn. Her letter was naturally addressed to Ruan Qing, and when she went to Yunzhou this time, she naturally wanted to go back to Fuyang to see Ruan Qing.
Everything was arranged, Lin Mengyao brought Cuizhu, and Gu Beichen brought Mingxue. When the four of them arrived at the gate of the Gu Mansion. The crowd was already waiting there.
"Meng Yao, I'm going to be tired of you and the child." Seeing that Lin Mengyao's face was a little tired, Liu immediately felt distressed: "Hey, but there is no way to do it." Wait until you get to the ship. You're resting in good life. ”
Lin Mengyao would never be so squeamish. said "no problem" at the moment, comforted Liu, and then followed Gu Beichen into the carriage.
On the occasion of getting on the bus. Lin Mengyao also discovered that the house slaves who followed today were not all family servants, in addition to the few people who were familiar with the past, there was also Mother An in Taohuawu, and the two teams of sturdy men standing behind her, all of them did not squint, as if they were well-trained.
Entering the carriage, the clatter of the horse's hooves and the squeak of the carriage were very clear in this empty night, Lin Mengyao snuggled on Gu Beichen's shoulder: "Then there is ...... outside."
Gu Beichen didn't hide it at all: "Do you remember when I told you about Mother An's origin?" ”
"I remember."
"Since the death of An's mother's father-in-law, An's mother has taken over the position of nursing home, and she has been trained by her." Gu Beichen said, and then picked a curtain to let Lin Mengyao look at the two teams of people dressed as domestic slaves: "They are all loyal and brave people of my Gu Mansion, or to put it more bluntly, they are dead soldiers." Over the years, in addition to protecting my Gu Fuquan, there are also some people who have gone to Jinghua with their fathers. ”
The word dead made Lin Mengyao look sideways.
Shi died for his confidant, and these people were willing to die for Gu's house!
Is it because the Gu Mansion is so kind to them, or do they all have the heart of a loyal man?
Looking at the two neat teams of dead soldiers, Lin Mengyao felt a lot of emotion in her heart. She didn't think that the Gu family had raised such a dead man, completely out of protecting the Gu family's large amount of property.
"These dead soldiers were raised by my father?"
"Not really, but rather from my mother." Gu Beichen didn't pay attention to the inquisitive look in Lin Mengyao's eyes, and said: "I heard my mother say that I was not born at that time, and my father went to Jinghua to do business, and on the way, he had to pass through a lot of water stalls and mountains, and the threat of thieves was indispensable, so in order to protect his safety, he invited An's mother and his wife to be guards, and later the two of them selected some orphans with good physical fitness and martial arts background, and after more than 20 years, there was an unknown 'dead man' in Gufu." ”
It turned out to be Liu's idea?!
A woman's family has such foresight?
Lin Mengyao once again remembered her guess that the original owner learned that "if you want to die Meng, you should take care of it first", if the guess is good, then her mother-in-law is not an ordinary woman as she seems.
Lin Mengyao thought about it, maybe she thought a lot, and maybe she didn't sleep, and soon fell asleep on Gu Beichen's shoulder. This sleep was very peaceful, and she didn't even know that Gu Beichen carried her on the ship heading south to Yunzhou, and later, if she wasn't hungry, she would have to sleep for a while.
Feeling her body swaying for a while, Lin Mengyao rubbed her eyes, and the sunlight had already penetrated into the cabin through the window.
"Miss, you're finally awake!" Cuizhu has been guarding the side, and when she saw Lin Mengyao wake up, she slept like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and how Gu Beichen didn't know how Gu Beichen carried her to bed, and then she smelled Lin Mengyao's stomach gurgling for a while, and then she remembered that their young lady hadn't eaten for a long time, and quickly got up: "Miss is hungry?" I'll go to the kitchen and get some food. ”
Seeing that Cuizhu was about to lift the curtain and go out, Lin Mengyao hurriedly shouted: "What time is it now?" ”
"Miss Hui, it's already afternoon."
"I've slept for so long!" Lin Mengyao laughed at herself for a while, since her body became heavier and heavier, she was more and more able to sleep. Thinking that it was not too early, Lin Mengyao didn't want to bother others: "Cuizhu, don't go to the kitchen to bother others, just find a pastry and come over." ”
"Hehehehe, Miss, I don't want to run this leg, but my uncle has already instructed the kitchen to warm the food that Miss wants to eat, just wait for Miss to wake up at any time and eat at any time!"
As he spoke, Cuizhu ran out with a smile.
Lin Mengyao's face was red, her heart was warm, she sat on the bed for a while, and felt that she had been lying down for a long time, so she got up and walked outside. After going up a few steps, you can see the deck at a glance, the wind and the sun are beautiful on the deck, and Gu Ruyu and Gu Beichen are standing under the warm sun. Gu Beichen turned his back to Lin Mengyao, standing against the wind, unable to see his expression; But the smile on Gu Ruyu's face was extremely sweet, and the affection in her eyes was even more vein, looking at Gu Beichen was looking at the eyes of her sweetheart.
What a fate!
Lin Mengyao shook her head and sighed for a while, she couldn't see Gu Beichen's expression, but she could imagine that it must not be a pleasure to be looked at by her own sister so affectionately at this moment. With a wry smile, Lin Mengyao went straight to the deck. (To be continued......)
