Chapter 3 Wind and Rain
After a few days of teaching in the house, Gu Rong gradually found that Xie Junwan said that she wanted to learn from female red, she really wanted to learn real skills, as long as she sat down quietly to take a needle and thread to study, Gu Rong pointed out something, and she listened to it.
Later, she gradually got acquainted, she came later every day, left later, and every time she entered and exited through the side door, plus Xie Junwan was a female dependent, and she became a guest of heart learning, and half a month passed, Gu Rong rarely met anyone else except for the subordinates she dealt with on weekdays.
It's already winter, and there are snowflakes floating on the way in the afternoon, Qing'er hurriedly held an umbrella for her, and when she arrived at the side door, Gu Rong took the umbrella and said, "Today is the last lesson of double embroidery, it must be later when it takes time and effort, you don't have to wait, the weather is very cold, just give you half a day off and go back to visit your parents." ”
Qing'er said happily, "Qing'er thank you for your kindness." She turned around and went back to the carriage to get the cloak, and tied it for Gu Rong, "It's cold today, Miss pay attention to your body." ”
"Go ahead."
Qing'er thanked her and left.
Gu Rong opened the side door and went to Xie Junwan's courtyard by herself, but Xie Junwan was not in the house.
Yahuan told her that the county lord was delayed in the front hall, and asked her to wait.
When she saw Xie Junwan, it was already an hour later, and as soon as she entered the door, she said, "Sister Rong has been waiting for a long time, there are important guests in the front hall, and I can't leave for a while." ”
Gu Rong is three years older than Xie Junwan, Gu Rong's teaching is fine, the explanation is easy to understand, she learns attentively, since the two got acquainted, she called her sister, Gu Rong has already smiled and put the needle and thread, "Anyway, I'm fine, it's okay to wait, you are back, then let's start." ”
Who knew that Xie Junwan sat down and shook his head, his brows dyed with sorrow, "I really don't want to study today." ”
As soon as she entered the house, Gu Rong noticed that she was not in high spirits today, and she had heard some news in the past few days, "But for the sake of the third prince?" ”
"Although the prince is good, it's not what I think, but Chrysostom is down, but it's not something I can stop."
I didn't expect this to be a foregone conclusion! Gu Rong frowned.
"Sister Rong, I want to go to the Great Yin Temple to repay my wish, can you accompany me?"
Gu Rong looked at her now in an irritable mood, how could she still say a word, nodded, and someone went to prepare for departure.
Because they didn't want to alarm others, the two took only a coachman and two guards and went out of the city.
The snow was scattered shallowly, the speed of the car was very fast, and when it reached the foot of the mountain of Dayin Temple, the layers of stairs were no longer allowed for the carriage to move forward, so the two got off the car and walked, and the coachman stayed at the foot of the mountain to wait, and the four of them went up the mountain.
But the snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the sky was rumbling, and it was trying to rain.
Finally arrived at the temple, Xie Junwan went to repay the vow, Gu Rong was sorting out the cloak wet with snowflakes outside the door, only to hear a few booms, the sky was lightning, and the heavy rain came down, the first snow and the first rain in winter, just in this almost dark dusk, were mixed together.
Gu Rong looked at this snowy day, and her mood became faintly heavy.
Xie Junwan returned her wish to come out at this time, and when she saw the rain, "I never thought that it was not suitable to go out today, but I encountered a ghost weather with snow and rain." ”
Gu Rong frowned, and the people around her had already spoken, "Sister Rong, let's stay overnight today, and let's leave tomorrow when the rain stops." ”
Gu Rong shook her head, "We didn't inform the princess and princess when we left, if you can't be found in the palace, it is estimated that the entire Yancheng will be turned upside down." ”
"It's easy, let the guards go back and pass on the word......"
"County Lord." Gu Rong interrupted her for the first time, "According to my meaning, bring rain gear and go down the mountain overnight, today's snow is probably washed away by the heavy rain, and we may have to get a little rain." ”
Xie Junwan didn't know why she insisted, and was about to speak, when she heard Gu Rong say again, "No matter what it is for, this Dayin Temple can't be left today." ”
Xie Junwan looked at Gu Rong beside her very seriously, and saw that the woman's usually gentle and smiling eyes were faintly solemn at the moment, Xie Junwan no longer asked the reason, and said coldly, and ordered the guards on the side, "Go and ask the host for four pairs of rain gear, and we will go down the mountain overnight." ”
The rain gear was quickly retrieved, and the four of them put on their clothes, hid in the heavy rain, and headed straight down the mountain.
As soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, the coachman saw four people and hurriedly greeted the carriage, and a sharp arrow shot out of thin air from a distance, and one arrow hit the coachman's eyebrows, and the man was killed and fell down on the spot.
Gu Rong hurriedly pulled her to the front of the carriage and pushed her into the carriage with a sharp voice, "Go in!" He sat down in front of him, raised his whip on the side, and "drove ......"
There was a chasing figure in the dark night, where did Gu Rong dare to slow down, the horse whip kept whipping the horse, and the two guards broke off one after another, and finally fell in the rain.
In the blink of an eye, the carriage was surrounded by men in black.
The leader said in a deep voice, "Please come with us!" ”
Gu Rong stopped in front of the door and said nothing.
In the afternoon, he came out of the door temporarily, but he was intercepted by someone following him, this Xie family is in Yancheng, and it is not very peaceful, these people are obviously here for Xie Junwan, she is the daughter of the Xie family, if she is used as a handle, she will be blackmailed......
Gu Rong was a little unbelievable.
Xie Junwan had already lifted the curtain, "I'll go with you, but you have to let go of the girl who is with me." ”
Gu Rong clenched the horsewhip, her heart mixed.
The man in black led by him was also overjoyed when he saw her, "Our mission is only to take the county lord back." The implication is that Gu Rong can go.
Xie Junwan looks weak on weekdays, and the overall situation is not dragging her feet at all, it is useless to delay at the moment, she can only compromise. She had already gotten out of the car, halfway, but Gu Rong grabbed her wrist tightly, and under the rain, Gu Rong's face was cold, and she was so strong that she couldn't break free.
Two weak women, one can walk is one. Xie Junwan was sad in her heart, not only because of the danger she was in now, but also because of the words of the noble concubine during the day, thinking that it would be better to make things worse, and she would not have to marry this prince, "Sister Rong......"
Gu Rong had already turned over and got out of the car, "Since you call me Sister Rong, how can I let you have trouble." ”
She lowered her head slightly, Xie Junwan could only vaguely see her chin, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, and suddenly she raised her head, and the two looked at each other.
Lightning in the sky split the light in the night.
"I just want you, after tonight, everything will never be mentioned, never mentioned!"
The night was dark and the rain was weakening.
The officers and soldiers on night duty at the gate of Yancheng saw a carriage approaching from a distance, he shouted to stop, never thought that it was a girl driving, the girl didn't say a word, took out the token in her hand, the officers and soldiers who led the team couldn't help but tremble when they saw the token, and they had softened, "I never thought it was the carriage of Xie Wangfu, a small reckless." Hurriedly gave way.
When the carriage was far away, he noticed that it was not just rain dripping from the ground.
Gu Rong no longer went to King Xie's mansion, and Xie Junwan had a serious illness for three days in a row, and did not attend the birthday of the Queen Mother.
Winter snow fell again, obscuring everything from the day before.
The Queen Mother's 80th birthday is naturally celebrated by the whole world.
Since the morning, I haven't heard the artillery battle for days, and the songs in the theater are all congratulatory messages.
I don't know what kind of excitement should be in this palace.
Gu Ping swept the snow in front of the door, sweated and returned to the house, Aunt Gu had already brought hot dumplings to the table, "It's time to eat, let's eat dumplings today." ”
Gu Rong wore plain green clothes today, and had already gone to get the dishes and chopsticks, and the three of them gathered around the dining table, baked on the stove, and ate dumplings.
It was late at night, the banquet in the palace dispersed, and Xie Changfang, who was not completely drunk, was pulled by his colleagues to chat, and it was a night in a flash.
And in the pawnshop, Aunt Gu, who felt unwell while eating, couldn't help but vomit all the rice, her face pale.
Gu Rong had already hurriedly probed her pulse, and couldn't help but be stunned after a while.
“…… Ximai ......" The voice was light and fluttering, and Gu Rong felt that she didn't believe it, let alone Gu Ping, who was nearly forty years old.
Aunt Gu was injured when she was young, which hurt her roots, so it was extremely difficult to get pregnant, and she had been recuperating for many years.
Does the Gu family have a queen?
Gu Ping was so frightened that he stammered a little, "Rong...... Rong'er, you read that right? ”
Gu Rong was also suspicious of her medical skills at this moment, so she took the pulse again, and said extremely solemnly after a while, "Uncle Gu, it's safer to go and ask a doctor." ”
This is the first time that the Gu family wants to invite a doctor, which is also unusual.
Gu Ping personally went to invite the deputy shopkeeper of Tongrentang, took the pulse and looked at the color, and made a final decision.
"Congratulations to the shopkeeper Gu, madam, this is a happy pulse, congratulations."
The Gu family really has a queen!
Gu Ping didn't seem to be able to bear the good news, leaned back, sat on the chair, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was already in tears, "I never thought that God would favor me, the Gu family has a future......
Gu Rong had already taken the honorarium to send the doctor out, turned around and closed the door, and in an instant Gu Ping was ecstatic, and hugged his daughter-in-law, "Okay...... What do you want to eat......"
Gu Rong hurriedly said, "Uncle, be careful, auntie is weak." ”
Gu Ping reacted, let go of his daughter-in-law, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Good Yan'er, what do you want to eat, tell me I'll buy you ......"
This big New Year's celebration is really happy from the sky!
