Chapter 214: I should like her very much

I talk in my dreams when I sleep.

Shen Bai's expression was narrow, as if he had discovered something terrible.

Gu Hengzhou's eyebrows didn't move, and he asked lightly, "What did I say?" ”

"This matter is very important, it has always been hidden in your heart, do you really want me to say it?" Shen Bai raised his eyebrows and asked, Gu Hengzhou was expressionless, sat up and ordered, "Pour a glass of water." ”

Shen Bai poured water for him, Gu Hengzhou looked at her after drinking it and said, "Say it." ”

His expression was very frank and upright, and there were no secrets that could not be known.

Shen Bai was originally lying to him, but when he saw this, he was relieved, it seemed that he had really forgotten, and made it up casually, saying, "You said that you like to eat sweets and are hungry for rock sugar gourds." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Gu Hengzhou stiffened his face and didn't speak, Shen Bai patted his chest and said, "But don't worry, I will never go out and talk nonsense about this kind of thing, I know that you have to maintain the majesty of the great commander and deter the three armies." ”

Gu Hengzhou slept for a long time, but he was not sleepy at this time, he asked Shen Bai to light the lamp and prepare to deal with military affairs, Shen Bai originally planned to serve beside him, Gu Hengzhou glanced at her and said, "These are all important military affairs, avoid them." ”

It's such a cold day, where to avoid it.

Shen Bai stared at the tent curtain for a long time, and slowly moved to the door, the wind and rain outside were even worse, and the tent crackled.

"Where?"

Gu Hengzhou opened an official document and asked, Shen Bai replied obediently: "Didn't you let me go out and avoid it?" ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't raise his head, and asked in a cold voice, "I let you out?" ”

That's really not the case.

Shen Bai thought about it, stood at the door and faced the wall, and after a while, Gu Hengzhou said in a deep voice: "I don't want a door god." ”

Don't go out, don't face the wall, don't you...... Put her to bed?

Shen Bai couldn't believe it, but the Zhenbei Army in the previous life also had rules for treating prisoners preferentially, and she has not been confirmed to be a meticulous work now, and it is normal for Gu Hengzhou not to treat her harshly.

Shen Bai moved to the side of the bed in small steps, and seeing that Gu Hengzhou did not react, he lay on the bed and pulled the quilt to cover his head.

Gu Hengzhou didn't speak again, Shen Bai was very surprised, he didn't expect that he really let himself come to bed to sleep.

How can this person be the same as in the previous life, he is obviously good to people, but he is not polite at all when he speaks.

Gu Hengzhou's body temperature was still left in the quilt, and Shen Bai soon fell asleep and fell asleep in a daze.

When he woke up again, there was a slight sound of conversation in the room, he pulled the quilt and arched his head, and through the gap in the screen, Shen Bai saw that several deputy generals were in the camp, discussing something with Gu Hengzhou, and he didn't know if he was afraid that she would hear it, the voices of this group of generals were very low.

But when did you get an extra screen in the house?

Shen Bai was a little confused, he didn't want to disturb their conversation, so he lay on the bed and didn't move.

After a while, everyone left, and Gu Hengzhou said to the screen: "Get up when you wake up, don't pretend to be asleep." ”

From such a distance, you all know that I am awake, is my breathing sound so heavy?

Shen Bai muttered secretly, got up, folded the quilt and walked out around the screen.

It's still raining outside, the humidity is heavy, and the chill is getting a little heavier.

After Gu Hengzhou finished handling official business, he moved his neck, and the soldiers guarding outside came in and respectfully reminded: "Great Commander, it's time to change the dressing." ”

"Hmm."

Gu Hengzhou responded, and took out a bottle of trauma medicine and a roll of gauze from the cabinet below, and the pro-soldier didn't have the eyesight to see it, seeing that he was about to take medicine, he turned around and left directly.

Gu Hengzhou began to untie his belt with one hand, and Shen Bai asked weakly: "Great Commander, do you change the medicine yourself?" ”

Gu Hengzhou stopped and looked at her.

Shen Bai gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, "If the Grand Commander doesn't mind, I can help you change the medicine." ”

Gu Hengzhou stopped his movements and said confidently: "This is the Zhenbei Army camp, if you dare to play any tricks, you will be shot into a hedgehog by random arrows when you walk out of this camp." ”

Yes, yes, I don't dare to play any tricks.

Shen Bai walked over and helped him take off his coat, revealing his injured arm.

The wound was a little deep, and the gauze was soaked in blood, so Shen Bai carefully untied the gauze, cleaned the wound and reapplied the medicine.

I haven't done these things for too long, and Shen Bai's movements are a little rusty and clumsy.

Gu Hengzhou kept looking at her, Shen Bai was a little stressed, and said dryly: "I really know how to bandage, don't worry, the commander, I will definitely not hurt you." ”

Although Shen Bai said this, Gu Hengzhou still didn't look away, Shen Bai was a little stressed, and when he finally tied the gauze, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his back was a little sweaty.

Gu Hengzhou moved his arm, didn't feel any discomfort, and got dressed by himself.

However, it was a little difficult to tie the belt with one hand, Gu Hengzhou didn't get it right for a while, and Shen Bai took the initiative to say, "Otherwise, I'll do it." ”

Gu Hengzhou did not refuse, Shen Bai half-squatted in front of Gu Hengzhou to help him tie his belt.

Gu Hengzhou has grown a lot taller than before, her body size has not changed much, there is only a small one squatting in front of him, with narrow shoulders and a delicate neck, as if she can be pinched off with a slight pinch.

Gu Hengzhou lowered his eyes and looked at her, and asked after a while: "You said before that you were sick, what symptoms do you have on weekdays, and what medicine should you take?" ”

Gu Hengzhou asked seriously, he couldn't hear the concern, like an interrogation, Shen Bai thought for a while and said: "Actually, there is no major illness, just lie down, you can't sit and stand for a long time, and you can't do any heavy work, otherwise you will have angina, but you haven't had any illness these days, it should be that your body has improved." ”

The medicines that Shen Bai ate were specially prepared by the incense makers of the Oriental family, which were different from ordinary medicinal materials, not to mention whether such medicinal materials could be found in Zhaoling, and the prescription was written, but I was afraid that Gu Hengzhou would not believe a word, and he would arrest her and deal with her carefully.

Gu Hengzhou didn't bother with the prescription, and asked, "If you can't sit and stand for a long time, what do you rely on to make a living?" ”

"I have a deep relationship with the Dongfang family, although I am almost the same as a waste now, but they do not dislike it and have always raised me, so I can live to this day." Shen Bai said frankly, thinking about going back, and added, "What I said is absolutely not half a lie, and when the people who went to Nanxiang to inquire come back, the general will be able to know the truth or falsehood." ”

Gu Hengzhou was unmoved, and said coldly: "Nanxiang is thousands of miles away, even if Shen Bai is really treated as a guest in the Dongfang family, it can't prove that you are her, and this matter needs to be investigated carefully." ”

The corners of Shen Bai's eyes twitched, what this means is that even if the person who went to inquire comes back, it will not be credible, so how can she prove her innocence?

Shen Bai was a little big, Gu Hengzhou started a different topic, and said: "Since you said that you have been suffering from an old disease, let the military doctor treat you well these days, and when the truth is revealed, if you are really innocent, I will personally send you back to Nanxiang." ”

I'm not afraid that you will treat me harshly, but I'm afraid that if I accidentally die in this tent one day, I will cause you a lot of trouble.

Shen Bai slandered, and thanked him with a smile on his face.

In the afternoon, the military doctor came to treat Shen Bai.

As soon as he got on Shen Bai's pulse, the military doctor's brows were twisted into hemp rope, he had never seen such a strange pulse, obviously this person looked good, there was no injury at all, but the pulse was quite disordered, like a dying person.

The military doctor asked Shen Bai about her recent diet, and carefully asked her about her previous illness, and searched for half a lifetime of medical experience, but did not find a situation similar to her illness.

The military doctor first prescribed a prescription for Shen Bai to drink, touched his beard and prepared to go back to read the medical book and study it.

This time, he grasped the fine work, and the serious injury was regarded as a great achievement, and the army reported it to the imperial court, and Zhao Che's commendation came down quickly.

In addition to promoting Gu Hengzhou, he also allocated food and salary to reward the officers and soldiers in the army, and asked Gu Hengzhou to return to Beijing for the New Year to report on his work.

The army was excited, and several deputy generals were active and organized a celebration banquet, which could be regarded as seeing off Gu Hengzhou, and it would take at least two or three months to return to Beijing to report on work.

Shen Bai used to like to join in this kind of excitement the most.

Shen Ruxiu is old-fashioned, Sun talks a lot, what festivals are there, Shen Bai escapes outside to play alone, the lights of thousands of homes outside are very lively, although it is not hers, it makes her feel more comfortable than Taifu Mansion. 520

There are many incense makers in the Oriental family, who travel abroad all the year round, and rarely stay at home, in the past three years, Shen Bai has basically lived day after day, and now he has the opportunity to join in the fun, so he naturally refuses to let go.

She stayed in Gu Hengzhou's camp all day long, coming and going, and several deputy generals also made some friendships, taking advantage of Gu Hengzhou's inattention, she secretly helped out with a lot of ideas, wanting to make this celebration banquet more lively.

The celebration feast is set on the day of Laba.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, everyone in the gang head camp was going to the city to purchase and prepare for the celebration banquet, Shen Bai got the letter early in the morning, stretched his neck and looked outside the tent, and wanted to go to the city with them.

In her upper and lower lives, she didn't have much chance to visit here.

But she hasn't cleared up the suspicion of meticulous work yet, and she doesn't dare to mention it to Gu Hengzhou.

Gu Hengzhou has been dealing with official business, and when it was almost noon, he put down the pen and paper and said lightly: "Let's go." ”

Shen Bai stood up suddenly, and asked reservedly, "Where are you going?" ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't explain so much, he only said coldly: "Follow it." ”

Shen Bai didn't ask much, and followed happily.

It had just snowed in Yuanfeng County, and after leaving the camp, the cold wind immediately invaded, Shen Bai shrunk his neck, and was so drenched by the wind that he coughed.

Gu Hengzhou rode over on his jujube red horse and ordered in a deep voice, "Come up." ”

Shen Bai walked over, grabbed the saddle and stepped on the horse.

Coughing twice, Shen Bai's throat hurt a little, but she didn't care, and said happily, "I'm fine." ”

Gu Hengzhou grabbed the horse's belly and rode out of the camp, sitting on the horse's back could not maintain his balance on his own, Shen Bai didn't dare to hug him, only pulled his clothes for support.

There were many people in the camp, and the sound of the exercises on weekdays was also loud, and the camp tent was set up on the outskirts of the city so as not to disturb the people, Gu Hengzhou rode a horse and quickly took Shen Bai into the city.

Shen Bai has been to Yuanfeng County several times, and his deepest impression of this city is that there are traces of war smoke everywhere.

But now Yuanfeng County is much more lively than before, there are more shops in the city, and there are more vendors and merchants on both sides of the street, the streets here are not as wide as Hanjing, after entering the city, Gu Hengzhou first went to the post station to store the horses, and then took Shen Bai to the city to wander.

The soil of Yuanfeng County is barren, and there is not much grain production, and the streets used to sell rations, but now there are more ready-to-wear shops, rouge shops, and all kinds of gadgets for people to play with.

Shen Bai was a little dazzled, and couldn't help but say to Gu Hengzhou: "Your Majesty is really amazing, in just three years, you have improved people's livelihood to this extent." ”

Before, the people of Yuanfeng County only wanted peace, but now, Shen Bai saw wealth on their faces.

Not only is there no invasion of war, but you can also live a life without worrying about food and clothing.

That's great.

Gu Hengzhou had been walking in front of Shen Bai unhappily, and when he heard this, he stopped, looked at Shen Bai sideways and asked, "Have you been to Zhaoling before?" ”

I'm originally from Zhaoling.

Shen Bai responded in his heart, and said vaguely: "I just heard a little, and I have read about the customs and folklore here in some travel journals, and now I have seen it with my own eyes, and I think the difference is quite big." ”

Gu Hengzhou pursed his lips without saying a word, took Shen Bai to walk two more streets, and walked into a restaurant.

This restaurant is quite similar to the Crane Chasing Tower in Hanjing, but it is not as luxurious as the Crane Chasing Tower, and only green plants are placed in the corner for decoration, instead of the previous vase calligraphy and painting.

When they came, it was a meal, there were quite a lot of people eating, there was no place in the private room, the guy took them to the window in the hall and sat down, and the guy had to report the name of the dish, Gu Hengzhou had the same style as before, as long as three dishes and one soup.

The food came up quickly, and the portion was quite sufficient, and Shen Bai waited for Gu Hengzhou to move his chopsticks before he tasted it.

The taste is also very good.

Shen Bai's eyes lit up, and he wanted to visit other places in the afternoon, so he didn't dare to speak to make Gu Hengzhou unhappy, so he only ate with his head bored.

When he was eating, Gu Hengzhou suddenly said, "I suddenly remembered something. ”

Shen Bai's hand shook, the piece of braised pork fell, and he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Gu Hengzhou said: "It is about to be Prime Minister Shen's 50th birthday, and His Majesty asked me to return to Beijing, which also means to congratulate Prime Minister on his birthday." ”

Old man Shen will be fifty so soon?

Shen Bai was a little surprised, Gu Hengzhou continued: "The prime minister has always been low-key, and the government has never done anything in a big way, and this time it is also His Majesty's intention to do a birthday for him." ”

Old man Shen is now considered a patriarch, and for the sake of Zhaoling, it is only natural for Zhao Che to bother to give him a birthday.

"Your Majesty really has a heart." Shen Bai complimented, thinking that Gu Hengzhou had a headache What congratulatory gift should he buy, and said tentatively, "I heard that you Zhaoling, the prime minister, is rich and rich, and loves poetry and books the most, just now I saw a bookstore on that street, and I may be able to find some books that are not available in Beijing, or I will accompany the general to go shopping inside in a while?" ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't answer, and after laying the groundwork for a long time, he finally got to the point, and said: "I remember that in addition to a young son, there is also a daughter under the knee of the Prime Minister, if I remember correctly, that Miss Shen is also called Shen Bai." ”

Shen Bai grunted and swallowed what was in his mouth, and was thinking about how to answer better, Gu Hengzhou said again: "This Miss Shen disappeared without a trace three years ago, life and death are uncertain, I heard that she also had a marriage contract with me, you have the same name and surname as her......"

"By chance!" Shen Bai couldn't wait to interrupt Gu Hengzhou, "This is purely a coincidence, there are more people with the same name and surname in the world, maybe you will turn your head and meet another Shen Bai." ”

Gu Hengzhou looked at Shen Bai and didn't refute, Shen Bai was weak-hearted, and couldn't help but ask again: "That Miss Shen has a marriage contract with the Grand Commander, why hasn't the Grand Commander even seen her face?" ”

"Yes."

Gu Hengzhou said, Shen Bai's eyes were round, and he almost wanted to jump up and run away, but Gu Hengzhou said: "She has pretended to be a man for many years, and when she was in Tai Academy, I was a classmate and friend with her, but then I had a strange illness, and when I woke up, I forgot what she looked like." ”

"You remember everything about everyone, but you forgot what she looked like?" Shen Bai asked, Gu Hengzhou nodded, Shen Bai frowned, and asked again after a while, "Then how do you feel when you mention her now?" ”

"It's just an ordinary person who doesn't know what to look like."

Gu Hengzhou said, Shen Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, Dongfang Ying said that the anxiety solution will strip a person's feelings, no matter how much he likes it before, he will be heartbroken when he mentions it in the future.

That's fine.

Shen Bai said to himself, seeing that Gu Hengzhou was still looking at himself, he fanned the flames and said: "The Grand Commander LinkedIn is mighty and has a great future, and this Miss Shen disappeared without a trace without a word, she must be a willful and selfish person, she is really not a good match with the Grand Commander, and the Grand Commander should be glad that she did not marry her, and now she can choose a good wife." ”

Shen Bai spared no effort to discredit himself, Gu Hengzhou took a bite of food, lifted his eyelids, and asked faintly: "In your opinion, what kind of woman is a good wife?" ”

Shen Baike had something to talk about on this topic, but when she bumped into Gu Hengzhou's dark and deep eyes, inexplicably, she couldn't say a word.

She let it go, how could she be qualified to say anything.

Shen Bai lowered his head, poked the rice in the bowl, and said with little confidence: "Good wives and bad wives, everyone has their own opinions, the most important thing is that you have to like it, after all, it is the person who wants to accompany you to old age." ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't speak again, and this topic ended here.

After eating, Gu Hengzhou and Shen Bai went to the bookstore, Shen Bai volunteered to help pick a congratulatory gift, and Gu Hengzhou naturally asked her to choose.

This shop is an old store, the decoration is average, but there are quite a lot of books inside, not fashionable books, but some old books handed down from ancestors.

Shen Bai remembered Shen Ruxiu's preferences, and picked two ancient books and a unique inkstone.

The inkstone was covered with dust, and it was very unsightly, but after washing it, it should not be difficult to see where it went.

The shopkeeper wrapped up the things, Shen Bai took the initiative to hold it in his hand, Gu Hengzhou paid, and the two walked out of the store together.

After walking forward for more than ten steps, Gu Hengzhou suddenly said, "I think I should like her very much." ”

Shen Bai stopped, turned around and pretended not to understand, and asked, "Who did the Great Commander say?" ”

Gu Hengzhou looked at her eyes and said word by word: "I think I should like my fiancΓ©e very much." ”

Shen Bai was speechless, wishing that he could suddenly disappear at this moment.

Gu Hengzhou didn't notice her abnormality, and continued: "If it weren't for liking, I wouldn't have a marriage contract with her." ”
