Chapter 418: Honest Fear

She didn't know what kind of pain her unintentional words made Zheng Rin's heart hurt. Looking at his wife's busy back, even if he knew that she was in front of him, he couldn't imagine how she survived. I could only stand like this, watching her put the planned food into her bag little by little.

The dialect is too different from the general dialect, so the dialect found in the text has been simplified, so that only someone said that the pronunciation has changed, so that colleagues can not see it clearly

October 16 was a good day, with fine skies and warm winds.

After half a month of recuperation, Guo Mianmian's ankle is no longer in serious trouble. It's not a bouncing of determination, and there is no big problem with walking in Pingju, but the gait is not very natural. Therefore, she insisted on sending Zheng Rin and them to the town with her family.

The two children were left at home, especially Tang Yuan'er, knowing that her father was going to a far, far away place, she would have a long, long time without seeing anyone, and she cried secretly in the bed last night, and her eyes were swollen like two small walnuts when she got up in the morning.

Afraid that she would cry when she saw her father leave, the two of them coaxed each other, and called her little companions to the house, and let them tease the little squirrel together before they forced the person to stay.

Guo Mianmian herself was also very reluctant, and when she sent the people to the town to be divided, she couldn't wait to get into the carriage and go with her.

Seeing that her eyes were red, Zheng Rin said sarcastically: "In the morning, I also said that Tang Yuan'er was ashamed, how could I go to school." ”

Guo Mianmian didn't want to show such a useless look in front of the man, so she pretended to be sinister and said: "It is said that the man will be wild as soon as he goes out, you give me a steady, if you dare to make willows and flowers in it, you will kneel ten washboards for me." ”

Zheng Rin wanted to make her happy, but she said a little witty: "My wife is beautiful and capable, I don't know how many people admire her husband, it should be you who are not at ease for your husband." ”

Guo Mianmian snorted: "It's good if you know, in short, you give me a safe return, if there is one less hair, you can do it yourself!" ”

Zheng Rin clenched his fists and said wittily: "The wife and son have orders, obey them for their husbands!" ”

If you want to rush to the next town before nightfall, you can't delay the time any longer, Guo Mianmian urged Zheng Rin to hurry up and leave.

Zheng Rin took advantage of the rest of the people not paying attention, and quickly kissed her on the face. Before she came back to her senses, she turned over and smiled at him, and said with her mouth: Wait for me to return!

Guo Mianmian wanted to cry again, picked up a small clod of soil from the ground and smashed it on the horse's buttocks: "If you want to go, you can go, there are so many empty words." ”

When Mu Shi saw it, he angrily condemned: "Ah Rin is going to go far away, what are you messing around." ”

Guo Mianmian hung her head and didn't make a sound, and when she looked back again, she only saw the back of the man walking away. She looked forward to him turning back, but she was afraid that he would turn back. It's not the first time I've seen him go out, but this time it's the most painful.

In her subconscious, this time in Beijing is extraordinary, she is afraid! This fear, she had never shown in front of his eyes.

"Let's go, we should go back too." Mu Shi looked at the eldest daughter who seemed to be following Soul, understood her mood very well, and took her arm and turned around and walked back.

Guo Mianmian silently followed Mu's footsteps, turning back step by step, until the man and horse disappeared from view and could no longer be seen.

When Zheng Rin and his entourage came to the county seat, they wanted to go straight to the East City Gate, where Guo Yu made an appointment with the two classmates to meet.

Just halfway through, Guo Yu opened the car door, and said to Zheng Rin in a little not very good: "Brother-in-law, I have something to ask Zhao Zhifu, so I will get off here first, you go to the East City Gate first, and I will come over in half a day at most." ”

Zheng Rin was not at ease, so he went alone, and said, "The second brother and second sister-in-law will go to the East City Gate first and wait, and I will go with you!" ”

Guo Yu knew what the eldest brother-in-law was worried about, and wanted to say that it was not necessary, and he could only nod his head at the eldest brother-in-law's unrefusable demeanor, and said to Guo Lin: "Then the second brother and sister-in-law will go to the East City Gate first, if my two classmates arrive first, the second brother will help me answer." ”

Guo Lin and his family naturally had no suggestion, so they drove the carriage to the east city gate.

When he arrived at Zhao's house, Guo Yu knocked on the door of Zhao's house. Zheng Rin waited under a big tree at the door and did not follow.

The concierge of the Zhao family is very familiar with Guo Yu, and in the past, he always let people in. It's just that after the last part-time job, Guo Yu didn't go to the door, and the porter didn't know what the master's attitude was towards him, so he said: "The master has just returned from the school, and Rong Xiao will go in first to report it." ”

Guo Yu's expression was a little gloomy, or he rushed to the door and said, "I'm tired." ”

The porter soon returned, and said with a smile: "The master is waiting for you in the study, you can go forward!" ”

Guo Yu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded at the porter and walked towards the direction of the study.

In the study, Zhao Juren was painting, and it was almost completed in a few strokes. Hearing the slight footsteps, he didn't look up, but said, "Yu'er, come and see how the old man painted." ”

Seeing that Zhao Zhifu's attitude was no different from before, Guo Yu was completely relieved, and quickly stepped forward to browse Zhao Zhifu's paintings: but in a blank snowfield, a cluster of red plums was full of shapes, and a round of morning sun slowly rose, just like a picture of the sunshine of red plums in a snowy scene.

It should have been a heavy snowfall a while ago that inspired Zhao Zhifu to make the final touches on this painting today.

Guo Yu praised from the bottom of his heart: "The husband's painting skills have improved again. ”

Zhao Zhifu was very complacent, stuffed the brush into Guo Yu's hand, pointed to the unfinished painting and said, "You make up for it." ”

Guo Yu knew the nature of Zhao Fufu, so he did not refuse, only to see a few strokes, and a round of sunrise jumped on the paper.

"Not bad, not bad." Zhao Zhifu nodded his beard and asked, "Today is the day you set off for Beijing, how did you think of coming to find the old man?" ”

Guo Yu said: "I will review it behind closed doors, and Yu has something to understand. ”

Zhao Gongfu's eyes froze, and he looked at Guo Yu fixedly. It wasn't until he saw that his eyes dodged involuntarily, and he didn't dare to look at himself, so he smiled lightly: "You and I have known each other for three years, and I can be regarded as the old man's protΓ©gΓ©, can the old man still know you?" Say, what is going on? ”

was seen through his mind at a glance, Guo Yu's face turned red, but he couldn't speak.

When Zhao Zhifu saw it, he was angry and scolded: "How can you not even speak when you are a dignified person?" If you don't say it, hurry up and let the old man out, the old man is very busy and has no time to spend with you. ”

After being scolded, Guo Yu rose up his courage, and in the staring gaze of Zhao Zhifu, he said something that almost made Zhao Zhifu's jaw drop: "Servant, Yu Xinyue Zhao girl, if you want to marry Zhao girl, I want to be thoughtful!" ”

With that, he hugged his fist towards Zhao Zhifu and bent down deeply.

……

At the door of Zhao's house, Zheng Rin, who had been waiting for almost two moments, was bored and leaned against a big tree, flipping a dead leaf between his fingers, and letting the horse's head rub against his body.

At this moment, a carriage drove up and stopped not far from him. Soon the door of the carriage opened from the inside, and when a servant girl stepped down, she saw that she helped a young woman out of the carriage. The woman turned her back to him, not seeing for a moment what her demeanor was.

Zheng Rin glanced at it casually and recognized that this maid was Chun Yi who was called out for questioning last time, and then guessed the identity of the girl. The two didn't understand, so he stepped forward and snored.

Just as Zheng Rin retracted his gaze and continued to fiddle with the dead leaves, Guo Yu walked out of the door and happened to take a look at the master and servant of the Zhao family who were about to enter the door.

Guo Yu hurriedly stepped aside, and a flash of joy flashed on his face that was not easy to detect: "Miss Zhao! ”

Miss Zhao, that is, Zhao Sirou looked at Guo Yu, her eyes were as clear as water, and her voice was soft and smart: "Guo Gongzi." ”

A flush climbed into Guo Yu's ears, he coughed calmly, and had nothing to say: "It's already time, Miss Zhao can effectively have breakfast?" ”

As soon as the words came out, he lowered his head in a hurry. Thinking of something again, his eyes glanced hurriedly, and his brows furrowed: It seems that he has lost a lot, is it for that incident?

Guo Yu's question made Zhao Sirou stunned, and replied truthfully: "Thank you Guo Gongzi for your concern, I have already used it." ”

Guo Yu said: "That's good, that's good......"

Chunyi on the side looked at him like this, and couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering. Thinking that it was so inappropriate, he quickly took his hand down and forced a smile. This look of not smiling looks quite funny.

Zhao Sirou saw it, looked at her with disgust, and saw that Guo Yu had no benefit from blaming it. There are often people coming and going at the gate, she has a bad reputation, and she is worried that being seen will bring Guo Yu's reputation, so she said euphemistically: "Guo Gongzi, I will go in first if I have something else, please take care of yourself." ”

After that, without waiting for Guo Yu to reply, he went in with spring.

Guo Yu looked at Zhao Sirou's back in a daze, and stood in place for a long time without moving. It wasn't until he was tapped on the shoulder that he snapped back to his senses.

"Eldest brother-in-law......" saw that it was Zheng Rin, and immediately reacted that the scene just now was seen by the eldest brother-in-law, and his face was suddenly flushed.

Looking at the brother-in-law's demeanor, what else is Zheng Rin not clear? Thinking that his mother-in-law was heartbroken about this brother-in-law's marriage, he couldn't help but smile, thinking that his mother-in-law's wish would soon be completed.

Looking at the brother-in-law who was silent, he didn't ask much, but said, "It's not too early, it's time for us to pull out." ”

Guo Yu breathed a sigh of relief and raised his feet to follow in the footsteps of his eldest brother-in-law.

On the other side, the master and servant of the Zhao family returned to the room, Chunyi poured a glass of water for his own girl, and groped and asked: "Girl, every time I meet Guo Gongzi, I always think that he is so fresh, but it happens that the master is full of praise for him, and always says that he has poetry and books in his belly and is a great talent." ”

Zhao Sirou didn't notice the meaning of spring, put down the teacup and admonished: "Guo Gongzi lifted people from high school, which shows his talent. As for your stupidity, that's because of your nature, not because of your laughter. ”

Seeing that the girl had misunderstood her benefits, Chunyi hurriedly said, "Girl, don't you see that Guo Gongzi is only like this in front of you?" ”

She had seen what kind of demeanor that Guo Gongzi had in front of her master, and compared to Shicai, he looked like two people. Even she could see that Guo Gongzi was not ordinary to her own young lady, why couldn't the young lady see it?

Zhao Sirou's expression turned cold, and she condemned sharply: "Can you say this? You are my maidservant, if it spreads, how will others treat me, how will they treat my father and mother and the Zhao family? ”

Outsiders will say that she doesn't know humiliation, and intends to climb high and have endless ways out; will say that her father used power for personal gain, and used his protΓ©gΓ© to whitewash her, a disgraced daughter. She Zhao Sirou has a bad reputation, and she doesn't bother to do this kind of thing.

"Aunt, girl, don't be angry, don't say it, don't say it!" Zhao Sirou rarely has a personality, and in such a stern environment like now, Chunyi can't remember when the last time it was, and she was suddenly frightened and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

Zhao Sirou is not a mean person, seeing that Chunyi knew that she was wrong, her expression softened: "It's good to know that it's wrong, you have to remember, don't mention it again in the future, and it will be impossible in front of your father." ”

Chunyi was united towards Zhao Sirou, and naturally she would not refute her words, and said honestly: "Girl, the slave listens to you, and will never talk nonsense in the future." ”
