Chapter 244: Buying a Family Business

The carriage couldn't be bought for the time being, so Shen Bai took Xiaoqi Xiaoba to find a place to eat, and then bought some nourishing gifts and went to a mansion in the south of the city.

The courtyard is the same as in Shen Bai's memory, there is still no gatehouse to guard it, and the New Year's pictures posted on the door are still very new, quite powerful and domineering.

Shen Bai walked over and knocked on the door a few times, and soon a hearty voice answered: "The door is not bolted, come in." ”

Push the door, and sure enough, the door is loosely hidden.

Cui Niang was sitting in the yard, digging well water to wash clothes, and when Shen Bai came in, she didn't recognize it for a while.

Shen Bai walked over and said softly, "Hello Auntie, I am Dongfang Kite, and today I am Dai Fujun who came to visit Aunt and Uncle Li." ”

Cui Niang is very familiar with the neighbors, she has never seen Shen Bai like this, frowning and puzzled, Shen Bai reminded: "At the end of the year before last, Commander Gu took me here once, and I ate the pot side bun made by my aunt, and I have been reminiscent until now. ”

At the mention of Gu Hengzhou, Cui Niang immediately remembered, quickly stood up, put her hand on the hem of her clothes and wiped it, took Shen Bai's hand and went to the house, and said as she walked: "I just look familiar, it turned out to be you, come in and sit." ”

Entering the house, Cui Niang eagerly poured tea for them, and when she saw that Shen Bai had mentioned a lot of things, she couldn't help but say: "It's all my own family, just come, what else do you bring, have you eaten?" ”

"Eat." Shen Bai replied gently, he liked the fireworks on Cui Niang's body very much, looked around, and saw that Li Yunjue didn't seem to be at home, so he asked curiously, "Why isn't Uncle Li at home?" ”

Hearing this question, Cui Niang couldn't stay idle, and said: "He just can't be idle, he is a lot older, and he still has back pain every three or five times, and he thinks he is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, last year someone in the city opened a martial arts gym and asked him to be a teacher, he is very energetic, he gets up early every day and is greedy for darkness, and he can't wait to live in the martial arts hall directly, where do you remember that you have a home." ”

Cui Niang's tone had two complaints, she was born in the dust, and after being married home by Li Yunjue, she just wanted to live in peace, the two of them could talk together, Li Yunjue threw herself on the martial arts hall, so she naturally snubbed her, and it was normal for her to be dissatisfied.

Shen Bai smiled and comforted: "Men are like this, Uncle Li has fought on the battlefield all his life, even if he returns to the field and lets him stay at home all day, he will be bored and panicked." ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Cui Niang nodded approvingly, "He has been fighting and killing all his life, and his bones itch when he doesn't move for a day, which is more uncomfortable than being sick." ”

Cui Niang still feels sorry for Li Yunjue in the end.

Shen Bai comforted her a few more words, and said: "Men have men's things to do, we women will be bored if we are idle all day long, I just arrived in Yuanfeng County, and there are still many things to do, if my aunt is not too troublesome, can you help me?" ”

Shen Bai was quite polite, there was no shelf at all, Cui Niang hurriedly said: "No trouble, no trouble, what do you want to do, just tell me, you need to do it yourself." ”

"I've never been a housekeeper, so I still have to understand what to do at the beginning, and then I can let others do it, my husband is training and fighting in the military camp, and I can't make trouble for him at home." Shen Baiwen said with a smile, there was gentleness between her eyebrows and eyes, and Cui Niang also knew that the life of a big family and ordinary people was different, so she nodded again and again: "This makes sense." ”

Shen Bai wants to hire two or three cooks, his hands and feet are quick, he is diligent and honest, not to say anything, it is best not to talk too much.

There are many people talking, and Shen Bai doesn't want to have something in the house, so he spreads it outside to make people listen to the joke.

The time for Gu Hengzhou to rest may not be certain, and sometimes it is inevitable that he will be injured, so Shen Bai plans to leave one person on duty every night to ensure that there is also hot water and hot meals at night, and the salary will naturally be slightly higher than in other places.

Cui Niang came out of the dust, and she was very accurate in looking at people, as soon as Shen Bai finished saying the request, Cui Niang immediately had several suitable candidates in her heart.

Shen Bai asked Cui Niang to help ask these people if they were willing to work, and if so, they could try it at the house tomorrow.

Cui Niang should take a bite.

After marrying Li Yunjue, although Cui Niang is not rich and expensive, she is also worry-free, she has been bored to death in the past two years, Shen Bai invited her to accompany her to walk around the city these days, Cui Niang was so happy that she enthusiastically left Shen Bai and Xiao Qi Xiaoba for dinner.

Li Yunjue didn't come back to eat dinner, but Shen Bai and them were there, Cui Niang was quite happy, halfway through the meal, Shen Bai asked Cui Niang unintentionally: "Auntie, I have been married to my husband for a year, because some things have been delayed, so I am only in Yuanfeng County now, this year, my husband has not provoked any peach blossoms, right?" ”

Cui Niang knew what Shen Bai was worried about as soon as she heard it, and immediately shook her head and said decisively: "You put a hundred hearts, Xingyuan is definitely not the kind of person who is in the twilight and messing with flowers, he is the same as your Uncle Li, he only has his soldiers in his heart, and he will definitely not look at the woman next to him." ”

Shen Bai believed this.

She nodded, and heard Cui Niang say: "But they are not afraid of shadows, and they can't cover the wild bees and butterflies that have to pounce on them, last year there was a half-old, in the name of selling tofu brains, to your Uncle Li Shush and ask for warmth, if it weren't for the old lady's keen observation and timely curb, you may be able to see the two aunts now." ”

Treating Shen Bai as her own, Cui Niang didn't have so many scruples when she spoke, Shen Bai was amused and laughed, and echoed: "Auntie's charm still exists, but it is not comparable to ordinary people, Uncle Li should not be blinded by the flowers and plants outside." ”

Cui Niang shook her head and said: "You are still young, I don't understand how many faceless and skinless cheap hooves there are in this world, in order to rob men, they can use any unsightly tricks, although Xingyuan always has a cold face, but that appearance is well-known in our Yuanfeng County, and he is an upright person, aunt said something bad, this woman, I like to hook up with this kind of man the most, look at him out of control, I can't help it." ”

That's true.

Shen Bai's favorite is also Gu Hengzhou's red eyes, panting, pinching her waist and sweating uncontrollably.

is like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, and she is infected with fireworks, which tickles people's hearts.

But this kind of picture, Shen Bai didn't want the second person to see it.

She took Cui Niang's hand and said, "It's not rough, I have written down what my aunt said, and if there are any goblins in the city who have to pounce on my husband in the future, I will ask my aunt to help me clean it up together." ”

"It's nature." Cui Niang said solemnly, "The old lady can't tolerate those cheap hooves in her eyes, they will tear one when they come to an old lady, you are delicate and expensive and inconvenient to do it, just watch from the side." ”

Shen Bai nodded obediently, trying to maintain the image of "delicate and expensive" in Cui Niang's heart.

After eating and thanking Cui Niang for her hospitality, Shen Bai took Xiao Qi Xiaoba home.

Yuanfeng County is not as prosperous as Hanjing, and there are no people on the street after dark, quietly, only a few dogs barking occasionally are heard.

There was no one at home, there was not even a lantern at the door, and it was dark and lifeless.

Shen Bai thought of Gu Hengzhou, in the past year, I don't know how it felt when he came home from the camp to see such a home.

After returning home, Shen Bai asked Xiaoqi Xiaoba to find a ladder and found two big red lanterns from the warehouse to hang on the door.

Now that there is her, Mrs. Gu, at home, guarding her, she can't be as cold and lonely as before, and her little days have to get dry.

After hanging the lantern, Xiao Qi Xiaoba boiled hot water, and Shen Bai took it to the main house to take a bath.

After doing all this, the night was a little late, Xiao Qi Xiaoba secretly yawned next to him several times, Shen Bai asked them to go to sleep first, and only after they were quiet did they have the time to carefully look at the furnishings of the main house.

The mansion was specially purchased by Gu Hengzhou for Shen Bai, and the style of the main house was slightly similar to Shen Bai's boudoir in Hanjing, except that the bed was a little bigger, and there was an extra shelf for weapons.

Gu Hengzhou rarely stays at home, and this shelf is empty and has no things, but Xiao Qi Xiaoba is very obedient and cleans the house very clean, and there is no dust at all.

There were only a few pieces of Gu Hengzhou's clothes in the closet, which looked a little empty, Shen Bai didn't plan to keep them empty, her clothes had to be added first.

In addition to these, Shen Bai also saw a large bookshelf in the house, which was used as a screen to separate the inside and outside, but there were not a few books on it, and there were some strange gadgets.

There are bamboo-woven dragonflies, small tigers, and all kinds of wood carvings and face figures.

They are all things that Shen Bai liked to play with when she was young, there is no one else here, it should be bought for her by Gu Hengzhou.

Shen Bai imagined the scene where Gu Hengzhou went to buy these things with a cold face, and the corners of his lips rose uncontrollably.

Brother Gu is really as cute as ever.

As soon as he slept until dawn, Shen Bai woke up relatively early, and as soon as he had eaten, Cui Niang took five people to apply for the job as a cook.

Cui Niang was very considerate to help Shen Bai beware of the little goblins, and the women who called were all about thirty women with big shoulders and round waists.

These people look very honest and down-to-earth, Shen Bai asked them a few questions, Cui Niang has already said that she wants to be on duty at night, they can accept it, Shen Bai simply put forward some requirements, two were a little hesitant, Shen Bai left three people, and immediately signed a contract with them, and the salary was twelve more than ordinary people every month, and they were on duty in turn.

The three of them immediately stayed behind to help Shen Bai and them prepare meals.

Cui Niang stood next to her and didn't speak, she only felt that Shen Bai had a clear mind, calm atmosphere, and a very housewife-like demeanor, and praised Shen Bai fiercely, Shen Bai responded, and then said: "My husband and I got married in Hanjingcheng, and it took a year to come, and the people in the city probably don't know about me, and it will be the first anniversary of my marriage to my husband and me in a while, I want to take the opportunity to set up a banquet, so that I can get to know everyone, but I don't know this guest list, my aunt may help me find out these days?" ”

Cui Niang is not good at these, and said with some embarrassment: "You and Uncle Li have not done a big deal, and there are no guests at home on weekdays, and Xingyuan doesn't look like a person who is willing to spend time doing superficial work, so it's better for you to discuss this matter with him." ”

Discuss with him, he must not want to do anything.

Shen Bai patted Cui Niang's hand and said: "It's good that the husband worries about the things in the camp, these little things don't have to worry him, and the aunt doesn't have to be stressed, these days you take me to recognize people, and I will have a measure in my heart." ”

Shen Bai said earnestly, Cui Niang inexplicably felt that she was very reliable, and nodded immediately.

In the afternoon, the two went to the ready-to-wear store together to buy clothes.

Gu Hengzhou bought a lot of jewelry for Shen Bai this year, but Shen Bai didn't buy it, and seeing that the weather was getting warmer and warmer, he bought two new clothes for Gu Hengzhou.

When I went home after shopping, I happened to pass by the Ming Qiwu Hall where Li Yunjue was, and Shen Bai and Cui Niang went in to have a look.

The area of the martial arts hall is quite large, bypassing the big stone screen, behind it is the school field that is dozens of meters square, there are dozens of teenagers standing on the school field, the teenagers are walking on horses, there is an incense burner under them, and they are practicing hard.

Every four or five columns there is a teacher, and they walk through it, correcting the posture of the teenagers from time to time, which is very decent.

After looking around, Cui Niang didn't find Li Yunjue, Shen Bai took her forward, and sure enough, she saw Li Yunjue and a young man in a green robe standing on a high platform, and the two were talking with their heads down.

Cui Niang said angrily: "He goes out before dawn every day, and the curfew will come back, the old lady still thinks he is busy here, but I didn't expect to hide on the side and watch the excitement, I don't think he wants this home!" ”

Cui Niang said a little aggrieved, Shen Bai smiled: "Uncle Li used to be the deputy general of Lord Guogong, and it is already a very great thing for the martial arts hall to invite him, so naturally let him be the head of the sect, although he doesn't have to go down to mark people personally, but to be in charge of the overall situation, the responsibility is much heavier." ”

Cui Niang's face improved a little when she heard this, but she was still a little unwilling, she was thinking about renewing the incense for this old man to give birth to a child, he was good, he was bent on other people's children, and what should I do if I can't give birth when I'm older?

Shen Bai walked over with Cui Niang, Li Yunjue heard from Cui Niang last night that Shen Bai was coming, and when he saw the two of them, he immediately stopped talking and strode over, knowing that Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou were married, Li Yunjue couldn't stop the smile on Shen Bai's face when he saw it again.

"I've seen Uncle Li."

Shen Bai bowed, she was far from the appearance of pretending to be a man before, Li Yunjue originally wanted to pat Shen Bai on the shoulder, but after approaching, he was a little at a loss, so he could only smile dryly: "It's all a family, don't be so polite." Then he asked, "Why did you come here?" ”

Cui Niang glared at him and said dissatisfiedly: "What, the martial arts hall was opened by you, and we can't come?" ”

Li Yunjue also glared at Cui Niang, not wanting the two to quarrel, Shen Bai said: "I heard that Uncle Li is the head of the sect here, so I want to come over and have a look, and I want to hire ten nurses, and I am not familiar with this place, so I want to ask Uncle Li where to hire it." ”

The Grand Commander's Mansion and the Guogong Mansion are both in Hanjing, and the guards in the mansion are all drawn from the army, although this courtyard is where Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou live permanently, it is also a private house, and it is not reasonable to transfer manpower from the army.

This matter is the right person, Li Yunjue pulled the young man behind him over and said: "This is Mingji, my deputy head of the martial arts hall, and also the young master of this martial arts hall, the people who can enter the martial arts hall are innocent, and it is best if you want to hire someone from here." ”

Mingji had been standing behind without speaking, and was suddenly pulled to the front by Li Yunjue a little uncomfortable, Shen Bai bowed his head and said, "It's better to be less in charge." Ming Ji returned the salute, Shen Bai clearly expressed his appeal, and said: "I want to hire ten nurses, I hope they can be stronger, if I can, I want to hold a competition in the martial arts hall, the winner is preferred, and the contract will start from ten years, after all, I don't want to always change people, I will give a higher commission." ”

Shen Bai is dressed as a woman, petite, gentle temperament, and has a noble dignity that does not belong to Yuanfeng County, Mingji originally thought that Shen Bai was just here to ask Li Yunjue for help, but she didn't expect her to think about it quite comprehensively.

Surprise flashed in Li Yunjue's eyes, and Shen Bai continued: "I will be responsible for the cost of organizing the competition, if the young master thinks it is okay, I can pay the deposit first, and when my husband has time, I will come with him to watch the battle and choose." ”

Mingji said: "Of course you can, I will have someone pass on the news later." ”

Shen Bai paid Ming Ji ten taels of silver as a deposit, and talked to Li Yunjue for a while before leaving with Cui Niang, passing by the bookstore, Shen Bai bought pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and went home to write down the expenses of the two days.

Although she and Gu Hengzhou are not short of money, this money can't be spent in vain, maybe one day someone will not know if it is blackmailed.

In the next two days, without Shen Bai's invitation, Cui Niang herself will come here.

To hold a banquet, Shen Bai pre-purchased ten tables and matching chairs, bought a lot of tableware and kitchenware, and bought a lot of various teas for the guests, and he didn't stop for a few days.

Gu Hengzhou rested on this day, and as soon as he finished the exercise, he rode home.

It was a bit late, and it was curfew when I got home.

From a distance, he saw two more red lanterns at the door of his house, and the red ones emitted a soft light, like a fire, and they warmly poured into his heart.

Pushing the door, the door was not bolted, and the horse was led into the courtyard, and Gu Hengzhou went straight to the main courtyard.

When he was about to arrive in the front hall, Xiao Qi came over with a lantern, and when he saw him, he said happily: "The Great Commander is back!" ”

"Where's Madame?"

Gu Hengzhou asked, and Xiao Qi said crisply: "Just after eating, Mrs. took a walk in the yard to eat." ”

I knew she couldn't be idle.

Gu Hengzhou strode in, and found that there were lights burning in the corridor of the courtyard every other distance, like a guide, he quickened his pace, and stepped into the main courtyard, and sure enough, he saw Shen Bai walking around the courtyard with his waist crossed, humming an unknown little song in his mouth, lazy, inexplicably crispy bones.

Gu Hengzhou stopped at the door, Shen Bai seemed to feel something, turned around and saw him, and immediately grinned and showed neat white teeth: "Husband, you're back." ”

Under the dim light, she smiled like a flower, bright and warm, Gu Hengzhou's heart was pounding, and finally he couldn't control it, and strode over to hug her into his arms.

Tight, never want to let go again.

Shen Baileng paused for a moment, then wrapped his arms around his waist, leaned on his chest and said, "Husband, I want to kill you." ”

This person will say that this kind of rhetoric is demagogic.

It's just that he, the person who doesn't like flamboyant tongue the most, eats her set.

After standing in the courtyard for a while, Hachi came running with a lantern and asked in a low voice, "The hot water is ready, can the Grand Commander take a bath first?" ”

"Yes." Shen Bai responded, pulled Gu Hengzhou into the house, and said, "Husband, wash up first, I have spent a lot of money in the past few days, and I will talk to you in a while." ”

Gu Hengzhou was quite satisfied with the title of husband, squeezed her hand and said, "It's all yours, you can use it if you use it, you don't have to tell me." ”

"That's not going to work." Shen Bai said solemnly, "Although the money belongs to me alone, the home belongs to the two of us, you have the right to know, and you have to have a sense of participation." ”

As they spoke, Sister Zhang and Sister Li brought hot water, and Shen Bai urged Gu Hengzhou to take a bath and brought him a new underwear.

Gu Hengzhou quickly washed it out, he has never been particular about what he wears, but the texture of the new underwear is soft and very comfortable to wear, he couldn't help but touch it twice, and Shen Bai immediately invited credit: "How, it's comfortable to wear?" I walked around for a long time before choosing this one. ”

Gu Hengzhou nodded, and found that there was a meal on the table, two dishes and one soup, which was hot, just enough for his appetite.

Not to mention that when he returned here before, even when he returned to the mansion from the lieutenant's camp, no one necessarily remembered to leave him food.

The Adam's apple rolled, Gu Hengzhou walked to the table and sat down, and began to eat, Shen Bai muttered beside him: "I invited three cooks, and I am going to hire ten nurses, if the concierge is concerned, I have to pick two clever ones, by the way, in a few days it will be the day when we have been married for one year, I plan to hold a banquet and invite the more high-status lady and lady in the city to have a meal, do you have a vacation that day?" 90 Literature Network

As soon as Shen Bai heard it, he knew that she had done a lot of things these days, suppressed her emotions, and whispered: "If you don't like to deal with those people, you can ignore them." ”

"It's natural, when have you ever seen me wronged myself?" Shen Bai said without hesitation, "I'm calling it to do something in his place." ”

She said with high spirits, and her eyes were all bright and shining, Gu Hengzhou hooked her lips and said, "No one will dare to let you be wronged in the future." ”

"That's it."

Shen Bai was quite proud, and took the account book to Gu Hengzhou again, just in the past few days, she spent hundreds of taels, if this is put in ordinary people's homes, she will be scolded for being a loser, but Gu Hengzhou didn't say anything.

Shen Bai's accounts were recorded in detail, he didn't spend it at all, the money was used on the blade, and when he heard that she was going to pick a nursing home, Gu Hengzhou decided to go to the martial arts hall with Shen Bai tomorrow.

After talking about business, Gu Hengzhou also finished eating.

Xiaoba packed up the dishes and chopsticks and sent them to the kitchen, Shen Bai pulled the door bolt, turned his head and said to Gu Hengzhou: "Husband, do you want to exercise after dinner to eliminate food?" ”

Gu Hengzhou stared at her with dark eyes and asked, "How to eliminate it?" ”

Shen Bai licked his lips and raised his eyebrows to suggest: "The injury on my leg is healed." ”

The desire in Gu Hengzhou's eyes rose sharply, and he said, "Come here." ”

Shen Bai pounced and heard Gu Hengzhou's low, thick voice: "I'll check it first." ”

Gu Hengzhou inspected quite carefully, from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, Shen Bai could tease Gu Hengzhou a few words at first, and it didn't take long for him to start pretending to beg for mercy.

How could Gu Hengzhou not see her disguise?

She only knew that she Xiao had been thinking about him for more than ten years, but she didn't know that he had been thinking about him for more than her, and he had more forbearance and restraint than her.

She didn't know anything, and kept teasing, but she didn't expect that as soon as this gate opened, even he himself could not control himself.

When the day was almost dawn, the movement of the main courtyard slowly stopped, Gu Hengzhou put on his robe, quietly went to the kitchen, found that there was still hot water simmering in the pot, frowned slightly, took hot water and went back to help Shen Bai clean, and hugged people to sleep.

Thinking about going to the martial arts hall to choose a nursing home, Shen Baiqiang woke up before lunch, this time the side was still empty, but Gu Hengzhou didn't go out, he was in the house.

Seeing that Shen Bai was awake, he hurriedly walked to the side of the bed and fed her saliva.

Sweet.

Shen Bai was a little surprised, Gu Hengzhou fed her rock sugar pear water.

"I heard you have a hoarse voice last night, drink more." Gu Hengzhou said seriously, his expression was serious, not at all as fierce as last night's bed and couch, Shen Bai drank it in one go, and couldn't help but say to him: "I can't stand it, you still don't stop." ”

Shen Bai's tone was a little sad, and his whole body was very sore at this moment.

She hadn't dressed yet, she only loosely covered her body with a quilt, her black hair was scattered, in stark contrast to her white and tender skin, her eyes were still red, and her voice was hoarse, instantly pulling Gu Hengzhou back to the dark and hot scene last night.

He lowered his eyes and didn't look at Shen Bai, grabbed the bowl in his hand, and whispered, "I can't stop." ”

She tasted so good, and he liked her too much, and once he touched it, all the forbearance of reason was destroyed and collapsed, and even he felt that it was not like himself.

Shen Bai didn't expect Gu Hengzhou to give such an answer, and after being stunned for a while and wanting to say something more, Gu Hengzhou let go of her and said, "If you still want to go out today, don't recruit me." ”

Shen Bai swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and asked instead: "It's so late now, are you still going to the martial arts hall today?" ”

Gu Hengzhou said: "I sent someone to the martial arts hall to say, only choose ten nursing homes, one afternoon is enough, after dinner, we will go together." ”

That's fine, too.

Shen Bai endured the soreness and got up, and when he changed clothes, he could still bear it, and when he walked, he suddenly felt that his legs trembled, and he couldn't use his strength.

Shen Bai wanted to cry without tears, why didn't she find out that Brother Gu's combat power was so strong before?

How did Shen Bai know that the two times she and Gu Hengzhou had actually been worried about her physical discomfort and had not fully developed it, now that she was sure that she was in good health, she didn't know how to tease her life or death, so she naturally had to spare no effort to excavate.

Seeing that she was trembling and trembling, Gu Hengzhou directly carried her to the front hall.

The meal had already been served, only the little seven and eight were waiting, and the two little girls blushed and didn't dare to look at them.

Gu Hengzhou didn't let the two of them serve vegetables, and personally helped Shen Bai to serve soup and vegetables, which was quite considerate, Shen Bai was mentally comforted, and the soreness in his body could be endured.

After eating, Gu Hengzhou hired a carriage to drive the two of them to the martial arts hall, Mingji received the notice, greeted him at the door early in the morning, and when he saw Gu Hengzhou, he saluted very respectfully: "Meet Commander Gu." ”

After speaking, he looked at Shen Bai again, and said apologetically: "The grass people didn't know that it was the wife of the commander before, and they were so sloppy, so I asked the lady to forgive me." ”

Shen Bai shook his head again and again and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

The throat was still sore, Gu Hengzhou frowned slightly, and said on her behalf: "Neiko is unwell, it is inconvenient to speak, she has a free and easy temperament, she will not mind these little things, and she doesn't have to be like this, let's go first." ”

Gu Hengzhou opened his mouth, and Mingji was naturally not polite, welcomed the two in, and specially ordered his subordinates to send tea to moisten the lungs and protect their throats.

Although he didn't know Shen Bai's identity in advance, Shen Bai's commission was not bad, and there were many people who signed up for the job, including thirty-two.

Gu Hengzhou is also a person who does things simply, he didn't say anything to Ming Ji, and came directly to the school field, and the thirty-two people were already standing on the field waiting for the competition.

Gu Hengzhou is a well-known figure in Yuanfeng County, although not everyone knows him when he shows his face, but people who practice martial arts generally know him.

The thirty-two people originally just came to apply for the nursing home, but they didn't expect to see Gu Hengzhou, they were a little stunned, and after Gu Hengzhou explained that he was here to pick a nursing home for his wife today, these people couldn't help but get excited.

They all have families, and for various reasons they have not been able to enter the military camp to serve the country, and it is also excellent to be able to become the guardian of the wife of the commander and contribute to Zhaoling, and the competitive atmosphere is restored.

Mingji explained the rules of the competition, everyone can choose their own weapon to compete, two people fight, the winner and the third person fight, and win two rounds in a row to be selected.

There are many people in the martial arts hall, in order to save time, these thirty-two people are divided into ten groups to fight at the same time, and the extra two wait until the end to pick someone to challenge.

The competition started soon, the blades were connected, the sound of ping-pong came and went, Shen Bai couldn't see it, Gu Hengzhou patted her hand, signaling her not to be nervous, with him, the people who were picked out would not be too bad.

Most of these thirty-two people are quite good, and half an hour later, the competition is over, and ten people win.

Gu Hengzhou named out two people and disqualified them from being selected, because one of them used a yin trick, and the other was too ruthless and almost disabled the opponent.

Shen Bai just came to select the nursing home, not to select people to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

Gu Hengzhou picked two people to make up for it, and the two who were disqualified had nothing to say, Shen Bai took out the contract that had been prepared a long time ago, and these people came to sign and draw the pledge in turn, and they could go to the house tomorrow to guard it.

After signing the contract, Shen Bai gave the rest of the money to Ming Ji.

Because of the competition in the afternoon, the martial arts hall was on holiday, Li Yunjue did not come to the martial arts hall, the two said a few words to Mingji, and left the medical hall.

It was still early, and Shen Bai took Gu Hengzhou to the ready-to-wear shop.

She had taken a fancy to a few pieces of fabric before, and deliberately took Gu Hengzhou to measure the size and asked the tailor to make him a few summer shirts.

The weather was about to heat up, and he had been practicing hard in the camp all day, and it was always good to have a few more changes of clothes.

The two of them entered the garment shop together, Gu Hengzhou and the tailor went to the inner room to measure the size, Shen Bai sat outside drinking tea and waited slowly, and after a while, a shadow came in from outside the door.

It was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, she was wearing a carmine cardigan, a peach-pink gauze skirt, her waist was slender and soft, and her lotus steps moved slightly.

And she was born very beautiful, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dignified and generous, with black hair combed into a falling horse bun, with the unique liveliness and brightness of this age.

As soon as she entered the door, Shen Bai's gaze fell on her and could not be taken away.

When he was still Young Master Shen, Shen Bai liked to look at beauties.

The beauty also noticed Shen Bai's gaze, bent her eyes and smiled, and took the maid to choose the materials.

Shen Bai's eyes chased her, and after a while, he found that the beauty had taken a fancy to the few pieces of cloth that he had picked for Gu Hengzhou.

The material of those pieces of cloth is not good, it is ordinary cotton and linen, and the color is dark, Shen Bai picked them, because he felt that the clothes made were dirty, and they were comfortable to wear, which was suitable for Gu Hengzhou, so he didn't know what this little beauty was going to do when he bought them.

Just thinking about it, Gu Hengzhou measured the size and came out of the room, and the beauty's eyes were naturally attracted by him, and then showed a big smile, and said happily: "Brother Gu, are you also here to buy clothes?" ”

Shen Bai raised his eyebrows.

What a coincidence.

Gu Hengzhou has been staring at Shen Bai since he came out, he didn't notice that there was another person next to him, after hearing the voice, he glanced at it, but his expression was also very light, he walked to Shen Bai's side first, and then said to the beauty: "I came with my wife." ”

The beauty's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal, and saluted Shen Baifu: "Ye Miao has seen Madame, but she didn't recognize Madame, and I ask Madame for forgiveness." ”

Ye Miao was very polite, Shen Bai was just about to speak, Gu Hengzhou preemptively said: "My lady is unwell, it is inconvenient to speak, Miss Ye doesn't have to pay attention to us, please excuse me." ”

Gu Hengzhou's tone was quite blunt, where was it to ask Ye Miao not to pay attention to them, it was simply to ask Ye Miao not to disturb them.

Ye Miao's eyes darkened, a little hurt, she bit her lip, she didn't know what to say for a while, the maid next to her immediately said: "Commander Gu, my young lady just took a fancy to two pieces of cloth, and I specially wanted to buy them to thank the commander, it just so happened that the commander was here, it was better for the commander to see if he liked it or not." ”

After the maid finished speaking, the guy standing on the side immediately pointed to the two pieces of cloth and said, "Great Commander, please see, Miss Ye has a fancy for these two horses." ”

Gu Hengzhou's face tensed, he didn't expect to encounter so many things when he came to visit a ready-to-wear shop, he didn't look at the two pieces of cloth, and said in a deep voice: "It's just a gesture, if Miss Ye really wants to say thank you, think more before you act in the future, and don't have any accidents." ”

Gu Hengzhou was reminding Ye Miao, but the girl's family was thin-skinned and had a good face, Gu Hengzhou's words were simply disguised as saying that she was reckless and causing trouble to others.

Ye Miao's face turned red all of a sudden, and her eyes were also red, and she was ashamed for a while.

In the end, it was Shen Bai who took pity on the jade, she sighed, and said softly: "The two pieces of cloth that Miss Ye chose are very good, things have happened, it is rare for her to have this intention, so the husband will accept it." ”

Gu Hengzhou glanced at Shen Bai and said in a cold voice: "What Madam said is that it just so happens that you have chosen a nursing home today, so it is better to buy a few more horses to make a uniform costume and send them down, and when the time comes, others will be able to recognize this as a member of our family at a glance." ”

People specially picked up the clothes to give you, and you took them to the nursing home, isn't this throwing people's hearts on the ground and stepping on them?

Ye Miao couldn't stay, so she ran away with red eyes, and the maid chased Ye Miao away.

Shen Bai accepted Gu Hengzhou's proposal, bought a few pieces of cloth of the two colors, and chose another color for Gu Hengzhou to make clothes.

After paying the bill, the two got into the carriage and walked back.

Gu Hengzhou had a straight face, and there was a low pressure all over his body, Shen Bai couldn't help laughing, propped his head and said, "Brother Gu, this is the peach blossom you provoked behind my back, why are you still angry?" ”

Even the husband didn't call him anymore.

Gu Hengzhou looked at Shen Bai coldly, as if he wanted to use his eyes to let Shen Bai know where he was wrong.

Shen Bai coughed lightly, straightened his attitude, and asked, "Brother Gu, how did you save that Miss Ye?" ”

"Last autumn, she and a few young ladies went to the mountains for an autumn trip, she chased the thrush, got lost in the woods, Ye Junshou anxiously asked me for help, I took a team of personal soldiers to go, found her, ordered the personal soldiers to send her back to the county guard, and there has been no intersection since then."

Gu Hengzhou expounded this matter in the most concise sentences, I don't know if it was Shen Bai's delusion, he seemed to be able to aggravate the words "order the soldiers to send her back to the county guard's mansion".

The pro-soldiers sent the rescue pro-soldiers, and she didn't say anything.

Shen Bai nodded and said, "It turned out to be the daughter of Lord County Shou, no wonder I just saw her with a different temperament from others." ”

Gu Hengzhou's eyes narrowed slightly, and Shen Bai hurriedly added: "Brother Gu is already a married man, it is appropriate to keep a distance from these little girls, it is my mistake, I should not accept Miss Ye's gift in order to show my virtue and generosity, I will definitely not do this again in the future." ”

Shen Bai's words were to the point, Gu Hengzhou's face looked a little better, and said: "The Gu family's family style is like this, I don't like to accept gifts, no matter who gives me gifts in any name in the future, you can refuse." ”

Shen Bai nodded and said, "I understand, our family has money, and we will not take a penny from the people!" ”

When he got home, the sunset soon sank in the west, Shen Bai pulled Gu Hengzhou to the backyard, and discussed with him that he planned to make the backyard into a large open space, and put a few more wooden stakes on it, so that Gu Hengzhou could practice even when he came back.

"You don't have to deliberately accommodate me, I don't come back much, I don't need this." Gu Hengzhou didn't agree very much, Shen Bai tilted his head and said, "It is precisely because there are few times when my husband comes back, so I have to use some methods to let my husband come back to see me more." ”

This statement is flattering, Gu Hengzhou can't help it, and heard Shen Bai say: "Even if Brother Gu doesn't use it, if we have children in the future, we can use it." ”

Gu Hengzhou had that picture in his mind, and after a moment of warmth, he said, "Not now." ”

"Huh? Brother Gu, don't you like children? ”

Shen Bai was surprised, he never expected to have a disagreement with Gu Hengzhou on this issue, Gu Hengzhou strode up to Shen Bai, grabbed her waist and said, "You gave me too little time." ”

He hadn't lived enough of the two-person world with her, and he didn't want to be disturbed by other people so soon, even if it was his and Shen Bai's children.

Gu Hengzhou's words were a bit complaining, and a little childish, Shen Bai reacted for a long time before he figured it out, and couldn't help but kiss Gu Hengzhou and said, "Brother Gu, I like you so much." ”

When the words fell, Shen Bai was directly carried by Gu Hengzhou.

Under the surprised gaze of Xiao Qi and Xiaoba, Shen Bai was carried back to the main courtyard, and before he even ate dinner, he was turned over and over by Gu Hengzhou and liked it.

The next day, Gu Hengzhou returned to the camp, Shen Bai didn't know when he left, and when he opened his eyes, it was already noon.

His throat couldn't make a sound at all, and his body was so sore that he couldn't move, anyway, there was no one in the house, Shen Bai lay directly on the bed and asked Xiao Qi to send the rice to the bed to eat.

After recuperating for a whole day, Shen Bai barely survived.

The next day, I was going to buy a carriage, but I didn't expect someone to visit first.

When I went to the front hall, Ye Miao was sitting upright in the room, and there was a stack of exquisitely packaged gifts next to her.

Shen Bai walked in, Ye Miao immediately stood up, and whispered: "The day before yesterday in the ready-to-wear shop, I was a little out of shape, and today I came to apologize to my wife, and asked my wife not to meet me in general." ”
