Chapter 41: Love in the Famine
Although Kwok's Courtyard is rich in grain, it still eats wild vegetable bark. The grain was originally for Guo Tu to donate to officials, to pave the way for Guo's future, and to save the lives of scholars.
Seeing Zuo Yuya's appearance of digging wild vegetables, Guo Jia's mind couldn't help but think of the scene of watering vegetables when he was a child, and the emotions of bamboo horses swaying. It was a different joy from Zijin, where there was his real experience, not imagination. It's like they're digging wild vegetables together. She was always at Guo Jia's nearest place, although she didn't say too much. Then it was replaced by Huang Achu's fine wine and food, the aristocratic superiority, Guo Jia did not refuse. Therefore, the Guo clan also improved a little, and looked at Huang Achu differently, and some people even affectionately called her little sister-in-law.
Guo Jia doesn't hate Huang Achu, and Huang Achu also knows how to make Guo Jia happy, and by the way, he makes the Guo clan happy. Huang Achu didn't care about this sacrifice, now wine is a priceless luxury, she can get it, it was the little sister-in-law who shouted that made her excited. At this moment, only Zuo Yuya is eating the usual coarse tea and light rice.
In the winter, the Guo clan further lowered the food dose, Guo Tu in order to win the hearts of the people, has always been evenly rationed by men and women, and he himself has never added the slightest preferential treatment, and the clansmen are of one heart and one mind. Guo Jia, who is accustomed to sweet and sour schisandra, also feels pitiful with little rice. But after entering October, Huang Achu also began to be struggling, especially Guo Tu's donation, which unexpectedly disrupted her plans, and it was very rare to go to Guo's Hospital. Whenever Zuo Yuya saw that Guo Jia couldn't eat enough, she always thought of giving a part to Guo Jia.
She said: "I am a woman, the amount of food is small, your body is not good enough, you can no longer keep up with nutrition, this famine is a war." ”
Zuo Yuya's food is less than Guo Jia's. Guo Jia's face was still pale, while Zuo Yuya was slightly yellow.
October 16, until the day Zuo Yuya couldn't get out of bed. Guo Jia realized that the person who was most easily ignored always silently helped his relatives.
He made a common-sense mistake, remorseful, afraid, he was afraid that Zuo Yuya would never get up again, and he shed the first tears in his life since he could remember. The bitterness that slipped from warm to cool to his mouth so aptly expressed his changing mood. He took Zuo Yuya's hand and put it to his face. He was so afraid that she, like the other students, would never get up again. Zuo Yuya, who was in a coma, felt Guo Jia's body temperature, opened her eyes with great effort, and tried hard to move her heavy hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Guo Jia's mouth, and she smiled happily. Guo Jia saw her smile and unconsciously laughed along with her laughter. At this moment, if they freeze into a painting, it will be the most beautiful picture, revealing the most sincere emotions.
When Guo Tu was in the limelight, Guo Jia waited for Zuo Yuya, who he almost lost, and the price he paid was too great, and he almost lost the person closest to him. Fortunately, Ya Mei'er woke up, and he finally understood her place in his heart. When Zuo Yuya was in a coma, except for praying for her to wake up, except for worrying and being afraid, everything else was gone, all of them were gone, and he only felt that life was like suddenly collapsed, but fortunately, God had mercy on her and let her return to his side. She used to be plump, but now her body has become light and weak, but her face has not yet been fully revealed. Guo Jia guarded Zuo Yuya, who fell into a deep sleep again, like this.
Seeing all this, Guo Tu warned the Guo clan that they must protect Zuo Yuya's identity and prevent the little witch Huang Achu from being jealous and hurting people. Guo Jia paid for him, which moved him and felt guilty, he hugged the quilt and squeezed together with others, leaving a single room for their young couple.
Where did Guo Jia's ration go, and it could still make his sister hungry. It's the drama Zhicai, or the arrogant drama Zhicai.
Xi Zhicai has no wisdom and dignity in front of a person, and that person is the red lotus he has been thinking about for a long time. Red Lotus's Fragrance Pavilion was also closed in the famine, and all she cared about was the distant lover, when she would be able to see him again. Guo Jia wrote to Honglian and asked her for help. Xi Zhicai never thought that such good luck would befall him, and he could be treated differently by Red Lotus. As soon as Red Lotus greeted, he hurried to Red Lotus with all his might, forgetting what hunger was, and just running obediently with his tail like a pug pleasing his master.
Xi Zhicai walked into the prosperous Piaoxiang Pavilion, everything was empty, so quiet that he could no longer find the shadow of the former high friends, the song and the swallow dance, and the Piaoxiang Pavilion in the famine was like a grieving and infatuated abandoned woman, quietly waiting for its lang. It can be said that there is a commotion in front of the door of the prosperous era, and food and clothing in the troubled times are the first.
The first time he walked into Red Lotus's room, he was so eager that he couldn't hide his eagerness to look around. Honglian is sitting precariously at the moment, like a dignified and quiet lady, and she can't find a trace of the singer's grace. On the contrary, it was the first time he looked at his goddess Red Lotus so closely, quite uncomfortable, his white face flushed slightly, and when he saw Red Lotus's eyes, he lowered his head, and the sound of his heartbeat could not hide his fluctuating mood. No matter what the identity of the red lotus is, the image of the holy and inviolable goddess in Xi Zhicai's heart has never changed.
Honglian smiled and said: "The actor is highly intelligent, and people say that you are dissolute and uninhibited, but you are also a shy person. ”
Xi Zhicai stabilized his mind and said: "The Red Lotus girl carries love, happiness is a little too sudden, and Zhicai is still a little dizzy now." ”
Honglian smiled and said in surprise: "It turns out that the son is also quite funny. Honglian has always admired Childe's talent and learning, and now the world is not good, and there is a lot of leisure time, I don't know if I can have the honor to ask Childe to teach me, three or twice a month. ”
Xi Zhicai didn't think about it, and blurted out happily: "Yes, that's exactly what I can't ask for." ”
Honglian smiled and said: "Then I will ask Mr., this is my monthly salary, I hope Mr. will not refuse, it is not much." ”
Xi Zhicai did not refuse, as long as he could see the red lotus, the red lotus said whatever it was, twice a month was a lot of love, and he was immediately satisfied, only by solving the problem of eating, could he live and persevere, seeing his beloved red lotus, love in the famine, became the biggest motivation for him to live, but he didn't expect that all this was planned for him, and for this reason, that person almost lost his love.
In the Yingchuan Academy during the Yellow Turban Riots, I am afraid that no one can have the mood of Xi Zhicai, even Guo Tu's act of offering food cannot be compared with his emotions and food and clothing satisfaction. Full of smiles blooming on Xi Zhicai's bitter face, it's really rare, he is really satisfied.
Honglian looked at him, thinking that one day he would know that all this was arranged by Guo Jia, and I don't know how he would feel. Honglian didn't know why Guo Jia loved this senior brother so much, and later Guo donated food to the entire Yingchuan Academy, and she seemed to understand the reason.
