Chapter 145: New Year's Gift

Regarding why Gu Hengzhou married Su Xiaoqiu, Shen Bai knew really well.

Su Xiaoqiu was the only girl who stayed in Gu Hengzhou and Shen Bai in her last life.

When he went to the battlefield, she sent him off the battlefield, or she greeted him in triumph, he was injured, she helped him bandage and heal, he won the battle, and she cheered for him.

All his joys, sorrows, and sorrows were witnessed by the girl named Su Xiaoqiu with him, and Shen Bai only appeared in his life occasionally as a gentleman, with the thought that he would be beheaded, and called him Brother Gu casually, and waited for him to report back to Beijing, and ordered a table of good wine and food to catch him up and wash the dust, but that's it.

It's natural for him to marry someone else.

Shen Bai's eyes flashed slightly, and he thought for a long time and said, "Of course, it's because Brother Gu you like Miss Xiaoqiu." β€œ

Gu Hengzhou did not accept this reason, and asked rhetorically without hesitation: "What does she have to like?" β€œ

Shen Bai: "??"

Brother Gu. The person who married a wife in the last life was you, how do I know what she likes about it, and it's not that I like her.

There is no way to argue with this kind of thing, Shen Bai gaged and said: "This is all a dream, I don't know very well, since it is a dream, some things can't be taken seriously, Brother Gu, don't take it too seriously." β€œ

Gu Hengzhou pursed his lips with a tense face and said nothing, he didn't know what he was playing on the school field, there were bursts of cheers, if it was in the past, Shen Bai would definitely go to join in the fun, but at this time she wanted to accompany Gu Hengzhou, so she suppressed her restless heart and said to Gu Hengzhou: "Brother Gu, I also brought something interesting, do you want to take a look?" β€œ

Gu Hengzhou glanced at Shen Bai and said, "Clean up yourself first before you go." β€œ

Shen Bai: "??"

Brother Gu, is this disgusted that she has been driving on the road for so long, and her body is dirty?

Shen Bai was a little injured, and Gu Hengzhou ignored her. Asked someone to bring a wooden barrel and hot water to Shen Bai to bathe.

There is only a North Hengshan Mountain between Yuanfeng County and Mozhou, Mozhou often has floods, but Yuanfeng County is short of water, and the water in the army is even more frugal, Shen Bai knows this very well, and he did not shirk it, and took the opportunity to take a bath comfortably and take a bath.

After washing, Gu Hengzhou asked people to carry the used water away, and Shen Bai changed into a silver-gray brocade robe. Hair is being twisted with a dry handkerchief.

She was bent on going out to play, and after hastily rubbing her hair twice, she wanted to run out, Gu Hengzhou walked over and pressed her on the seat, took the handkerchief and helped her wipe her hair.

Shen Bai was a little stunned, and it took a while to realize that Gu Hengzhou was helping her wipe her hair, the corners of her lips rose uncontrollably, and her old face was rarely hot, and she was a little embarrassed.

There could be no mirror in the barracks, and Shen Bai couldn't see Gu Hengzhou's expression. I only know that this person's movements of wiping her hair are extremely gentle, and her slender and powerful fingertips occasionally pass through her hair and press her scalp lightly, not at all like killing people on the battlefield without blinking.

Shen Bai's heart pounded twice, and for the first time, he was consciously quiet and did not speak.

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Hengzhou said, "Okay." β€œ

Shen Bai came back to his senses and touched his hair, his hair was already fifty or sixty percent dry, Shen Bai still wanted to tie it up, Gu Hengzhou took his cloak and put it on her. said, "That's it, you can't do it if you tie it up." β€œ

The cloak was wide, completely covering Shen Bai, and there was a drag on the ground, Shen Bai felt that Gu Hengzhou was reasonable, so he didn't tie his hair, obediently put on the cloak and walked out of the main tent with Gu Hengzhou.

There were too many people in the school field, and he didn't want to be too ostentatious, so Shen Bai took Gu Hengzhou to the back mountain in the opposite direction of the school field, and there were basically no people here.

Gu Hengzhou followed behind Shen Bai, and when he saw her familiar appearance, he couldn't help but ask, "Have you been here?" β€œ

Anyway, he used his dream to make a cut before, and Shen Bai didn't hide it, and said generously: "I came once in my dream and stayed in the camp for some time. β€œ

Before, Gu Hengzhou was a little suspicious of Shen Bai lying, but at this point, he had to completely believe it, even if Shen Bai had secretly left Hanjing, it was impossible for her to enter the Zhenbei military camp without knowing it.

She was so familiar with the barracks. It only shows that she really came here in her dreams.

What kind of dream made her dream of real people and things, and everything she experienced in her dream was really just a dream?

Gu Hengzhou couldn't understand, Shen Bai was walking too fast, his cloak was hanging by a branch on the side of the road, Gu Hengzhou reached out to help her take it off, and couldn't help but ask again: "Why did you come here in your dream?" β€œ

Why?

Because the court is dim, the magnates are selfish and only want to benefit themselves, and His Majesty cannot find a grain and grass escort who can be trusted.

Because Brother Gu has been dormant for three years, he wants to recapture Yuanfeng County in one fell swoop, avenge his father, and also build power for Zhaoling and the new emperor.

This matter is not only about Zhaoling's face, but also about the status of the new emperor.

From the bottom of her heart, she gave 3,000 elites to Shen Bai, and asked her to rush to the border with 3,000 stones of grain and grass.

Three thousand elites escorted three thousand stones of grain and grass, how many mountain bandits coveted along the way, and how many thrilling bumps Shen Bai couldn't remember clearly, she only knew that it was the first time she left Hanjing alone to meet Gu Hengzhou.

She barely slept a full sleep along the way, and she didn't dare to rest, for fear that if she was a day and a half late, Gu Hengzhou couldn't wait to lead the troops to set off.

When she arrived at the Zhenbei Army barracks, she was thin and out of shape, and she was embarrassed compared to now, I don't know how many times, her legs were worn out, and her feet were full of blood blisters. But the next moment, she saw a girl wearing a white dress and a waist as thin as a willow come out behind Gu Hengzhou.

That girl was born beautifully, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, and she was easy to get along with at first glance, standing with Gu Hengzhou, she was unspeakably worthy of boarding.

That was the first time Shen Bai had seen Su Xiaoqiu.

It was also the first time she experienced what it was like to be wronged.

She came to see him non-stop with grain and grass, and thought about how to pretend to be weak and sympathize with him on the way on the way, but she never expected that he would bring a beautiful woman to meet her.

That day, Shen Bai turned over and dismounted, gritted her teeth and endured the pain all over her body, and greeted Gu Hengzhou casually, she drank a whole jar of burning knife wine at night and couldn't get drunk.

Later, Gu Hengzhou personally sent her back to the camp and gave her a bottle of trauma medicine, he said: "The weather is hot, the wound is easy to pus, rest for a few days and then leave." β€œ

He said calmly, but her emotions suddenly burst into the embankment, and she asked with teary eyes: "Brother Gu, how can you see that I am injured?" β€œ

Gu Hengzhou didn't answer this question, just touched her head and said, "It's hard work, rest early." β€œ

Shen Bai returned to the camp, took off his pants and drugged himself, crying profusely.

Even if Brother Gu observes the details, he can only see the injuries on her body, and I don't know how sad and sad she is.

The mind drifted a little farther away. Shen Bai didn't notice his feet, he stepped on a stone and almost fell, Gu Hengzhou's eyes were quick, and he grabbed her waist and scooped her into his arms so that he didn't fall.

Gu Hengzhou reprimanded: "Why do you want to be so engrossed and don't even look at the road?" β€œ

Shen Bai hugged his waist and said coquettishly: "I forgot to carry the lantern when I came out just now, it's so dark, Brother Gu, you have to hug me tight." β€œ

Gu Hengzhou didn't speak, but the hand that was across Shen Bai's waist never let go.

The two walked to a clearing at the foot of the back mountain. Shen Bai took out the fire fold from his arms and blew it up, looked around, and found a small box, which Shen Bai opened, which contained a box of wooden sticks.

Gu Hengzhou asked, "You brought me here specifically to see this?" β€œ

Shen Bai nodded, took out a wooden stick and lit it with a fire breaker, and the wooden stick immediately burst out with shining sparks.

This is not a wooden stick, it is a firework she bought from Mozhou.

Shen Bai handed the fireworks to Gu Hengzhou, and said with a sparkling look in his eyes: "How can there be no fireworks and firecrackers during the New Year?" This is a rule passed down from our ancestors. Right, Brother Gu? β€œ

Gu Hengxiu and Gu Heng decided to play fireworks during the New Year's Festival, Gu Hengzhou originally liked it, but he had a cold temperament since he was a child, and he didn't know how to express his needs, Ye Wanyu always thought that he didn't like to play with these, so every time he only prepared Gu Hengxiu and Gu Heng to play, Ye Wanyu always told Gu Huai that Gu Hengzhou was too old.

After these few times, Gu Hengzhou also lost interest in these. If he has fun with these kung fu, he might as well do more schoolwork.

So think about it seriously, when he grew so big, Gu Hengzhou didn't even play a single fireworks.

At this moment, Shen Bai smiled brightly, blinking his eyes and looking at him expectantly, Gu Hengzhou's heart throbbed uncontrollably, and he inexplicably felt that the eyes of the little liar in front of him were brighter than the fireworks that were burning.

Gu Hengzhou didn't answer, and Shen Bai saw that the fireworks in his hand were about to burn out, so he hurriedly took another one and lit it, and urged in a low voice: "Brother Gu." Don't you like playing with this? β€œ

Gu Hengzhou finally took the fireworks, and replied gently: "I don't like it." β€œ

There's no dislike, that's like.

Shen Bai didn't expect Gu Hengzhou to answer, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with bent eyes: "If Brother Gu likes it, I will accompany you to set off fireworks every year in the future." β€œ

Fireworks will be set off together every year since then.

This promise made Gu Hengzhou's heart soften, he lowered his eyes and looked at the fireworks in his hand that were almost burning, pursed his lips and fell silent.

Gu Tingge is not young, and he will retire in a few years. Gu Hengzhou most likely wanted to inherit his mantle and guard the border passes, and at that time, it would be impossible for him to accompany Shen Bai for the New Year every year.

He lives too seriously, and he will never promise easily what he can't do.

Just wanted to refuse, Shen Bai took another firework and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "I want to accompany Brother Gu to set off fireworks, and I don't want Brother Gu to accompany me, no matter where Brother Gu is in the future, I will find Brother Gu to accompany Brother Gu, if I don't do it in the end, I am the one who broke the appointment, and I have nothing to do with Brother Gu." β€œ

Yes, from the beginning, it was her who said she liked, and it was his freedom no matter what kind of response he made, and she never asked him to do anything.

Gu Hengzhou's brows relaxed slightly, and he let go of the fireworks in his hand when it burned to the end, and then took the one that Shen Bai handed over again, and responded with a solemn expression: "Okay." β€œ

In the future, fireworks will be set off together every year to celebrate the New Year together.

Got the answer, Shen Bai smiled even more happily, lit a lot of fireworks and took them in her hand to spin in circles, in the flying fireworks, she smiled brightly and movingly, like a warm flame, slammed into Gu Hengzhou's heart.

Shen Bai said that he was playing with Gu Hengzhou, but Gu Hengzhou's temperament was already like this, and he was not very enthusiastic about everything. Most of the time, Shen Bai is still playing.

Gu Hengzhou didn't speak, Shen Bai didn't feel embarrassed, he had a lot of fun playing next to him, Gu Hengzhou looked at her quietly, his eyebrows and eyes were unconsciously dyed with a smile, and the picture was very harmonious and beautiful.

A box of fireworks was quickly gone, and the surroundings fell into darkness again, with only the soft moonlight gilding everything with a cold color.

Gu Hengzhou said: "The fireworks are over, and the hour is not early, go back." β€œ

Shen Bai looked at the moon, there was still a moment left in the ion, Shen Bai said to Gu Hengzhou: "Wait a minute, I still have something to show Brother Gu." β€œ

Gu Hengzhou asked, "What?" β€œ

Shen Bai touched it in his arms for a while, took out a slender box and handed it to Gu Hengzhou: "Well, this is the New Year's gift I specially prepared for Brother Gu." β€œ

Gu Hengzhou was surprised, but he didn't expect Shen Bai to prepare a gift for him.

He took the box and opened it in front of Shen Bai, and saw a white hosta inside.

The white hosta is white all over. The hairpin head is in the shape of a wave, the wave has a light azure blue, the hairpin tail is slightly pointed, the whole hairpin has no other decorative embellishments, it is natural, although it cannot be said to be priceless, but it is also valuable.

Gu Hengzhou looked at it for a while, and asked a very beautiful question: "Have you embezzled public funds?" β€œ

Shen Bai immediately defended himself: "Brother Gu, how can you think of me like this? Am I such a treacherous person in your heart? The people were in distress. How could I embezzle? β€œ

"And where did this come from?"

"I use Wei Xun's name She's account, he wants my life, I spend a little money on him, and he is not wronged."

Shen Bai touched the tip of his nose, very reasonable, but heard Gu Hengzhou ask: "I remember that you also used his money to buy a lot of things for your male pet." β€œ

Shen Bai covered his lips and coughed twice, and laughed hehehe: "Brother Gu, you also know that it was all a last resort, and it was all fake." Can't count, and buy them those are worthless gadgets, Brother Gu, your hairpin is the treasure of the town store that I ran all over Mozhou, and I chose it from a store. β€œ

Brother Gu, your gift is the most valuable and the most attentive, you can always be satisfied now, right?

Shen Bai looked flattering, Gu Hengzhou put away the hairpin, no longer entangled in this topic, and asked instead: "Your Majesty asked you to go to Mozhou to control the water, and your canal has been repaired?" β€œ

"The canal will be completed in a few days, and the people in the city will rush to apply for the canal when they hear that the canal can be divided into fields, and it will take much less time than expected." Shen Bai replied without hesitation, thought for a while and added, "I didn't come to Yuanfeng County without permission, I came here by His Majesty's decree." β€œ

Gu Hengzhou's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "Your Majesty has issued another decree?" β€œ

Shen Bai nodded.

When Gu Hengzhou was in Mozhou, he wrote a letter to Beijing to ask Gu Tingge to verify the captivity. It is also required to temporarily master the military talisman, and the edict of Emperor Hengde to Mozhou is related to the talisman.

Gu Hengzhou also guessed this, looked at Shen Bai suspiciously for a while, lowered his voice and asked, "The talisman is on you?" β€œ

Shen Bai hooked his lips and smiled brightly, and did not answer positively, but said: "Brother Gu, as long as I want, now I can order you to do anything." β€œ

That's on her.

Gu Hengzhou didn't know what to say about Shen Bai, the talisman that Emperor Hengde sent to Mozhou was Gu Tingge, which was something that could command hundreds of thousands of troops in Zhaoling, Shen Bai carried the talisman on his body, and dared to run around with two Praetorian Guards, if something happened on the road, the consequences? ? Disastrous!

Gu Hengzhou looked Shen Bai up and down and asked, "Where did you hide the talisman?" β€œ

Shen Bai spread out his hand and said confidently: "Anyway, it's hidden in a place where no one can find it, Brother Gu doesn't believe it, you can search it now." β€œ

As soon as Shen Bai finished speaking, Gu Hengzhou lowered his cloak and hat to completely block her face, and said coldly: "Can people search for your body casually?" β€œ

Shen Bai pulled his hat away and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't let others search for it." β€œ

Gu Hengzhou reprimanded with a straight face: "Even if it's me, I can't!" β€œ

If you can't do it, you can't do it, Brother Gu, what are you doing so fiercely.

Shen Bai slandered, the fireworks were released, and the gifts were also given, he was really tired at this time, and he couldn't help yawning and began to feel sleepy.

"I'm back."

Gu Hengzhou said. Shen Bai nodded and followed him back, and after walking a few steps, Gu Hengzhou reached out and scooped her into his arms, Shen Bai was surprised to hear him say, "Hold it tight, I won't care about you if you fall." β€œ

Shen Bai immediately hugged Gu Hengzhou's waist, and was almost half-hugged and taken back by Gu Hengzhou.

When the two of them were about to arrive at the main tent, they happened to see Sun Yiguang and Li Yunjue coming, Gu Hengzhou subconsciously let go of Shen Bai, Shen Bai felt about them similar to Gu Tingge, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he stood up obediently and said hello: "Uncle Sun, Uncle Li, you still haven't slept so late." β€œ

Li Yunjue said: "I didn't see you just now, so I didn't feel at ease, so I came out to see, where have you been?" β€œ

Shen Bai replied with a smile: "I went to the back mountain to set off fireworks." β€œ

Li Yunjue glanced at Gu Hengzhou unexpectedly, but he didn't expect Gu Hengzhou to have the heart to take people to set off fireworks.

Sun Yiguang also smiled. But facing Shen Bai, he said: "Xiaobai must be tired, Yun Jue and I just went around, and found that Xingyuan hasn't asked anyone to help you pack up the camp tent and come out, it's too late today, if Xiaobai doesn't dislike it, it's better to spend the night with me, although I'm a little rough, but unlike your Uncle Li, I still snore when I sleep." β€œ

Li Yunjue immediately retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about, dead old man? I'm snoring, you're still grinding your teeth! β€œ

Sun Yiguang immediately replied: "That's much stronger than you!" β€œ

The two quarreled a little back and forth, and they were full of childishness.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the two of them had no intention of stopping, Gu Hengzhou said lightly: "The two uncles don't have to fight, the camp I live in is very large, and she can sleep with me." β€œ

Gu Hengzhou gave a solution, but Sun Yiguang immediately vetoed: "No, Xingyuan, you have a cold temperament, and you are used to being alone, Young Master Shen will definitely not sleep well when you sleep with you." β€œ

Li Yunjue also echoed: "That's it, and Xiao Bai Wenwen is weak, and he is used to sleeping by himself in Taifu's Mansion, you two children stay together, what if you grab the quilt and get infected with the wind and cold and hurt your harmony?" β€œ

Gu Hengzhou said: "I won't grab the quilt with her." β€œ

Li Yunjue didn't believe it, raised his eyebrows and asked, "None of you have slept together, how do you know that you won't grab the quilt?" β€œ

Gu Hengzhou's temples jumped suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "I've slept!" β€œ

Li Yunjue looked surprised: "Xingyuan, what did you just say?" β€œ

Gu Hengzhou had no patience, and said word by word: "I said that we slept together before!" β€œ
