Chapter 219: A Small Town Out of the World
It wasn't until the emperor returned to the room that Xiaolan refused to leave for a long time, and Qin Boyong realized that something was wrong.
"Xiaolan, where is your girl?" Qin Boyong's calm face made Xiaolan's heart sigh.
Cui Ping was sitting on the bed at all, looking at Qin Boyong's appearance, she already knew that she was not the real Gu Muzhi, so she hurriedly lifted her hijab and knelt at Qin Boyong's feet.
"If she doesn't want to say it directly, why did she study hard every day when she was raising her grandmother to teach etiquette, but she left on the day of her wedding?" Qin Boyong looked at the two kneeling in the room with an annoyed expression, they were Gu Muzhi's maids and a rare close person to Gu Muzhi.
"Back to Your Majesty's words, Miss She...... She refused to marry you, but she was forced by the Holy Decree to come up with such a plan. I hope Your Majesty doesn't blame you, Miss She, she said she would ride a horse and find a direction at will. ”
Xiaolan lowered her head, Gu Muzhi asked her to say this. put all the fault on Gu Muzhi's head, so that she and Cuiping could live.
"You two go down!"
Gu Muzhi's escape from marriage Qin Boyong didn't want to alarm so many people, so he directly asked his relatives to follow him to find someone.
It is conceivable in the world that it is a day of great joy and he, the lord of a country, is looking for his wife and his queen in the wilderness.
Gu Muzhi found a direction at random, carrying the disguise medicine he got from the Tang family. She didn't change much of her appearance, she just made her complexion look almost good, with a few more moles on her face, and her face looked bigger. After all, this medicine is limited, and she can't squander it too much.
"Hey! Girl, how did you end up in such a place alone! ”
The place where Gu Muzhi went was a small town at the foot of a mountain, with a beautiful environment by the mountains and rivers. It's just that this town is relatively poor, and it's obviously not far from the capital. But it seems that it has not been disturbed by the war, like a paradise.
"Auntie, I'm fleeing. My relatives are gone, and now I am homeless...... Auntie, do you know that there are houses sold around here? I still have some silver taels and want to settle here. ”
Gu Muzhi looked around and looked like he liked the environment here. In fact, Gu Muzhi really likes this place, but he doesn't know what life is like here.
"Hey~" The eldest lady was dressed in coarse cloth, stretched out her hand and slapped her leg vigorously, trotted to Gu Muzhi's side, and pulled Gu Muzhi's arm: "Girl! I'm the only one in the house and the two little ones, if you don't dislike it, I'll live in my mother's house. The two of them were only five or six years old. ”
"This ...... Auntie, this is not a big deal! ”
"What's this? Besides, all the places in our town that can live are full, and there are not many families like ours that have only one mother-in-law, a boy and a woman and two young children. Most families have unmarried men, or they are crowded together. It's already good to have something like ours. ”
Looking at the eldest lady's words, Gu Muzhi lowered her head slightly: "Then I'll disturb the eldest lady, my name is Gu and Gu Manzhi." What do you call it, auntie? ”
"Me! Just call me Aunt Qiu, my girl's nickname is Yingzi, and her son is called Goudaner. The two of them are in my house now, and Manzhi is a good name. Is it okay for the aunt to call you a branch girl? ”
"Aunt Qiu can call it whatever she wants." Gu Muzhi smiled playfully, and now she was wearing the clothes that Xiaolan had prepared for her. Abandon the gorgeousness of the past, simple and pure.
It was probably Aunt Qiu who saw that Gu Muzhi was originally a young lady from a large family and was not good at working. So Gu Muzhi spends most of her time watching the children at home and doing some light work with the two children.
"Aunt Qiu, I, I want to ask the girl from your house...... Is she married, I, I...... I like her. A man looked at Aunt Qiu with a wooden face and a firm look in his eyes.
"This one! Where did you know about the branch? This...... I'll have to ask her, but that's a good thing. Xu Yan, do you really want to marry my girl? ”
Aunt Qiu looked Xu Yan up and down, nodded with approval on her face, and lived the situation of the Xu family in her heart:
This Xu Yan's family is a wealthy family in the town, and there are not so many dirty things at home. There are many girls in the town who want to be mother-in-law for the Xu family, although this person is a bit silly, but ...... It's just a matter of temperament, not really stupid. And at first glance, it will hurt the daughter-in-law and admit death. It's just that I keep shirking this and don't want to get married, but I didn't expect to fall in love with her girl. This can also make their family of three shine, and maybe they will live a better life.
"I've been to see that girl for the past few days, and I secretly watched her take Yingzi and Dog Egg to pick wild vegetables, touch fish, wash clothes or something......"
Xu Yan reached out and touched his head, and then assured Aunt Qiu in a serious voice: "Aunt Qiu, I really want to marry that girl." Even though I don't know her name yet, she's the best-looking girl I've ever seen. Not only is it good-looking, but it also feels good. ”
"This ...... Auntie go back and ask, I want to say! Whether my girl wants it or not, you can't do more, you know? My girl's name is 'Gu Manzhi', this name is good! ”
Looking at Aunt Qiu's departing figure, Xu Yan showed a smile and nodded: "It's good, but it's good." Gu Manzhi, Ah Zhi! It's good, it's good. ”
"Girl, do you want to hear about my good thing here?" Aunt Qiu originally went to wash clothes, but after meeting Xu Yan, she came back directly with her clothes.
"Auntie, what kind of good thing made you not even wash your clothes?"
Gu Muzhi smiled slightly, reached out and took the clothes in Aunt Qiu's hand and put them aside. looked at Aunt Qiu with a serious face, waiting for Aunt Qiu's next words.
"Girl! You're not too small, are you? Although I have a house for you to live in, you can't always follow an old woman like me, can you!? So my aunt wants to ask you, have you ever said before, there is a kid in our town who has taken a fancy to you. That Xu Yan is very honest, there is nothing to worry about at home, and he still misses you. Do you think about it? ”
"This ......" Looking at Aunt Qiu's serious expression, Gu Muzhi was a little helpless. She has no idea of getting married now, let alone with someone she has never even met.
"I said that there are two people, and I will tell the truth, auntie. It's true that I'm the only one left in my family, but that's why I escaped...... In fact, I am running away from marriage, and I don't want to marry anyone yet. ”
Gu Muzhi looked helpless, she didn't know why people were worried about her wherever she went.
"This ...... Is there something hidden in the branch? Which kid is telling you that is not good to you? You ......"
"Auntie, others are very good. It is...... In his heart, righteousness is heavier than mine, and our two families were originally hostile. With him, I can't get past that level in my heart. Gu Muzhi lowered his head, and a touch of sadness crossed his eyes. If she is not from the mother family, if Qin Boyong is not from the royal family, the two of them should have a different ending!
