Gu Yilan did not show her vulnerability in front of others. Her tears came and went quickly.

When she came out of Old Madam Mu's house, she deliberately lowered her head all the way, and tears slipped directly from her eyes, not even staining her cheeks, but directly dripping onto her light red clothes. With only a few tears in her eyes, she quickly controlled her emotions, and when she looked up again, the summer breeze had even helped her dry the moisture from the corners of her eyes.

Therefore, even the personal maids Fang Zhi and Fang Xin, who were following her, did not notice that Gu Yilan was crying, but they were still very worried about Gu Yilan, and the two maids showed a cautious look on their faces, as if they wanted to comfort their young lady, but they didn't know how to speak.

And Gu Yilan, who had reorganized her emotions, seemed to be much calmer than the two maids, and she even smiled at Fang Zhi and Fang Xin with a strong spirit, and whispered: "I'm really fine, don't make too much of a fuss, let your husband see that it will be uncomfortable." ”

Gu Yilan didn't go anywhere, and directly took the maids back to her yard, and at this time, Mu Zhengyi was busy checking the ordnance that had been loaded and ready to go, and she didn't have time to go home early to accompany her newlywed wife.

When Mu Zhengyi finally came home after being busy, he had already turned on the lamp, Gu Yilan was still waiting for him to eat, and the soft couch next to the bedroom window was full of things, and two neatly packed packages were put aside.

Mu Zhengyi looked at the things on the soft couch, his heart was complicated and unspeakable, Lan'er already knew about it, and even began to pack his luggage for him, and he still didn't know how to apologize to his new wife.

"What are you doing?" Gu Yilan leaned over with a smile and pulled Mu Zhengyi's robe: "Why don't you hurry up and change your clothes, wait for you to have dinner." ”

"You haven't had dinner yet," Mu Zhengyi immediately turned around and reached out to hug Gu Yilan: "...... in the future"

He originally wanted to say that if he returned late in the future, he would ask Gu Yilan not to wait for him, but halfway through his words, Mu Zhengyi stopped talking. Because he was going to leave for the north the day after tomorrow, Gu Yilan, who was left alone in the capital, naturally had no need to wait for him to eat. This "later" ...... It's a bit inappropriate to say it now.

However, Gu Yilan didn't seem to notice Mu Zhengyi's abnormality at all, but she took the initiative to smile and said, "What's the matter, don't you want me to wait for you to eat in the future?" That's not possible, after you return to Beijing, I still have to wait for you every day, it's boring to eat alone. ”

"Well, that makes sense." Mu Zhengyi smiled at his wife very cooperatively: "When I went to the north, you were too lonely, so it was better to go to your grandmother's house to eat, my younger brothers and sisters have always eaten in my grandmother's house, and my aunt and mother will go there occasionally, so it will be more lively." ”

"That's what I plan," Gu Yilan smiled easily: "Didn't the housekeeper in the aunt's room come yesterday, saying that she would set up a small kitchen in our small courtyard in two days, and let me pick two pleasing cooks by myself." I thought, the cost of the small kitchen is not small, and there is no need to set it up if you are not there. I went directly to my grandmother's yard to eat. "Bookbag nets

"This is the kindness of the eldest aunt," Mu Zhengyi shook his head with a smile: "How much can a small kitchen add to the expenses, two or three cooks are just at the mercy of orders every day." The ingredients are all from the big kitchen, and they are all the same. Your family originally married you a cook, isn't it a waste not to have a kitchen? Besides, my aunt and mother have small kitchens in their yards, and we are not the only ones who have them, and you don't need to be so frugal. ”

"I'll discuss with my aunt when I go back," Gu Yilan smiled and pushed Mu Zhengyi: "Go change your clothes, let's eat." ”

"What else are you discussing," Mu Zhengyi said with a smile while changing clothes, "Just listen to my best." Didn't you say before that you wanted to show filial piety by offering food and drink for your grandmother? Having a kitchenette is not just convenient. ”

"I'll take care of it," Gu Yilan replied, "You don't need to be so worried about me, I'll be fine when you go to the north." It won't be boring, you can rest assured. Don't talk about it, there is a little sister with me. My little sister came over after school in the afternoon, and went back before dinner. Don't worry, husband, you trust me. ”

"Lan'er, I'm sorry." Mu Zhengyi put down the cloth towel to wipe his face, walked in front of Gu Yilan, and finally said his apology bravely: "I actually don't know how to talk to you." We've only been married for more than 20 days, and I shouldn't have left at this time. It's just that you also know that the Rong Di mission will soon enter Beijing, and whether this truce agreement will be signed or not, and how to sign it, you need to sit down and discuss it in detail. This military negotiation will not be able to count on the officials of the Ministry of Rites. ”

"I know," Gu Yilan smiled and glanced at Mu Zhengyi, and took the initiative to reach out and lead him to the dining table and sit down: "It's about the northern border, and our General Mu naturally can't stand idly by." The uncle can't come back, of course, the third uncle can only assist the officials of the Ministry of Rites to negotiate with the Rong Di people, and the third uncle can't leave Beijing at this time. So husband, where do you start with this apology? I don't need you to apologize, you're just doing what you have to do. ”

"Lan'er......" Mu Zhengyi wanted to say something more, but Gu Yilan reached out and pressed him on the chair, and stuffed the chopsticks into his hand: "Okay!" If my husband says anything like apologies, I don't like to hear it. It's late, eat, aren't you hungry? ”

"Hmm. I'm hungry. Mu Zhengyi raised his head and smiled gently at his wife, he knew that his words really didn't need to be said again, his Lan'er understood them.

"There happens to be a lion's head you like tonight," Gu Yilan pursed her lips and smiled: "Grandmother specially ordered the kitchen to make it." But husband, I didn't know you liked lion's heads, but now my grandmother only found out when I mentioned it. I went to ask my little sister before we got married, but she only said that you like rouge shrimp. ”

"This," Mu Zhengyi smiled and shook his head: "Little sister said that I like rouge shrimp, which is actually true." I do love annatto shrimp when I'm at home. However, when I arrived at the border and went to the battlefield, I gradually became less particular about my life. After half a month of patrolling outside, who can afford to think of delicate dishes such as rouge shrimp after returning to the camp, most of the time, his mind is full of coarse dishes such as braised pork and lion's head. Besides, in the northern place, even if there is no restaurant with rouge shrimp, mutton pot is very common. ”

"So that's the case," Gu Yilan nodded a little distressedly: "It seems that grandmother still understands you." ”

"Grandmother doesn't know me," Mu Zhengyi replied, "It's about a long time in the north, and it's going to be like this, right?" Actually, my uncle and my dad also liked coarse dishes such as lion's head and braised pork. ”
