Chapter 37: Something on the Mind?
When the meal was finally finished, Gu Jiu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin's medicine was drunk after meals, and when the group left the small flower hall, the maid brought the medicine and served her to drink.
Gu Jiu helped her get the candied fruit on the side, and when Lin finished drinking the medicine and handed it to her, Lin immediately smiled and said, "Okay, thank you." ”
She didn't feel bitter about this medicine all these years, but now that she got a candied fruit handed over by her daughter-in-law, she actually figured out the sweetness.
Qin Zheng accompanied her and chatted with her for a while.
said that it was a chat, but in fact, Lin was saying unilaterally, Qin Zheng's interface was two or three words, or um or ah or nodding.
On the contrary, Gu Jiu's attitude was much better than his, when she talked to Lin, her voice was extraordinarily gentle, such a harmonious and beautiful scene made Qin Zheng feel a little warm.
He rubbed his fingers thoughtfully, looked at the two chatting, and for a while had the thought of hoping that this atmosphere would last a little longer.
After chatting like this for a while, seeing that the Lin family was a little tired, the two of them asked An to retreat.
It was already completely dark.
Rare good weather, the night is low, but the sky is full of stars, and a round of moon hangs in the sky, sprinkling the moon shadow and clear light on the bluestone road.
Gu Jiu followed behind Qin Zheng, and when he was blown by the wind, he felt more and more that his brain had entered the water before.
What was she thinking at that time, actually serving vegetables to Qin Zheng?
However, her remorse was only for a moment, and she heard Qin Zheng speak first.
"Thank you for today."
Gu Jiuzheng was immersed in his emotions, and when he suddenly heard this, he instantly paused for a moment, and asked, "What?" ”
Qin Zheng turned around, and when he saw her stupid appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head, the arrogant appearance in the past had faded a lot, but it also added a bit of fireworks: "In front of my mother, it's hard to serve you wholeheartedly." ”
Hearing this, Gu Jiu understood, and subconsciously said, "It's okay, my mother is a good person." ”
After she said this, she felt ambiguous, as if she was alluding to other people in the mansion, so Gu Jiu thought about it for a while, and added: "Besides, in my family before, wasn't the son of the world also very dedicated, and it was all mutual." ”
Hearing her words, Qin Zheng nodded, but he didn't say anything, but when he saw that she was walking slowly, his steps slowed down a little, and he gradually walked side by side with her.
Minglan Yuan is still some distance away from the Ninth Courtyard, all the way to wear the corridor to walk over, there are seasonal flowers placed under the corridor, the fragrance is light, but in this night, it seems to be so strong that people can't ignore it.
Gu Jiu followed him forward, and saw that he was holding a lantern, and as the lantern swayed as he walked, the candle flame also leaked out of it.
Suddenly, she felt a little sour in her heart.
Counting up, in her previous life and this life, it was the first time she walked side by side with Qin Zheng, and she was still so harmonious and peaceful.
This atmosphere was too beautiful, even if Gu Jiu wanted to distance himself from him, he would find that Qin Zheng was quietly adjusting to his pace.
Just enough to keep them in a range that doesn't overstep the rules and makes her feel safe.
Gu Jiu took a deep breath, and the hand hidden in his sleeve slowly loosened.
Such an atmosphere made her unbearable to break.
Noticing that she was walking slower and slower, Qin Zheng simply stopped, turned around and asked, "Something on your mind?" ”
Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his head, he unexpectedly bumped into the other party's eyes, and suddenly said, "No, no." ”
She took two quick steps forward, but found that Qin Zheng was behind her, so she slowed down again and walked side by side with him.
After doing all this, Gu Jiu realized what he had done, and simply began to look for a topic: "Actually, Mrs. She is very good and very attentive to you. If you have time, come and see her. There you go, she's very happy. ”
In the end, Gu Jiu himself sighed a little.
In fact, in her previous life, Lin's health had never been very good, and when Gu Jiu went to see her, she was sick eight out of ten times.
So later, Gu Jiu was not surprised by Lin's death.
Such a sick and crippled body, delaying is probably a sin for her.
Just when he was just now, Gu Jiu thought of another thing from the past. Ranwen
In her previous life, she had always felt that Qin Zheng was cold-hearted and cold-hearted, but she was such an indifferent person, and she never came out half a year after Lin's death.
Even if he acted in the same style as usual, under the occasional meeting and her deliberate inquiry, it could be seen that Qin Zheng was much more depressed than usual.
Lin's death also hit him hard.
This person is not really as indifferent as he seems, and what Lin said is indeed true, he is not good at expressing it.
Qin Zheng didn't love her in his previous life, and later died in his hands, if Gu Jiu didn't resent her, it was impossible.
But in this life, she got this opportunity, and she avoided Qin Zheng too.
What's more, if it weren't for his rescue yesterday, I am afraid that he would have died in the hands of that Sun Boyin, where would he be safe now?
Gu Jiu has always had a clear grievance, and she has kept this kindness in her heart.
Even for this kindness, Gu Jiu was willing to say a few more words to him, lest he leave more regrets: "She is not in good health, why should you let her feel sad again." ”
Qin Zheng didn't expect Gu Jiu to say such a thing.
He paused and looked at the person in front of him fixedly, but he didn't know what to say.
In fact, Qin Zheng has always said little, but he just doesn't want to say it, but he has a plan in his heart.
However, the person in front of him is different from the others.
Not a boss, not a colleague, not a prisoner.
is obviously an ordinary little girl who stalks and doesn't marry him, and he has seen a lot of such women over the years.
Even if he agreed to marry her at the beginning, he was just thinking that he would marry a wife sooner or later, and the position of Mrs. Shizi could not be empty for a lifetime.
It's just a position in the house, what is there to think about it?
But since the wedding night, in just a few days, she has shown too many different sides to him.
She was no longer just an inconsequential person who occupied the position of Mrs. Shizi, but a woman who had noticed him outside of his relatives for the first time in his life.
Xu is Qin Zheng's gaze was too aggressive, just one glance, Gu Jiu couldn't help but avoid his gaze, and his heart beat wildly: "I said it, but it's too much?" ”
Qin Zheng retracted his gaze again, as if his previous gaze was not his own: "No." ”
His voice sounded unremarkable, and even his walking movements were calm: "Mother would probably be very happy if you cared about her so much." ”
He walked in front, Gu Jiu only looked at his back, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "Blood is thicker than water, what Madam wants to see more is actually you, the son of the world." ”
It's a dark night, and it's probably the wrong one.
Hearing this, Qin Zheng's footsteps paused, but he didn't say anything.
However, Gu Jiu remembered one thing, because he asked, "Madame's body, has it always been so bad?" ”
In her previous life, Lin's sense of existence was very low when she was alive, and when she died, no one in this mansion would mention her.
Gu Jiu remembered to burn incense and paper for her, but that's all. She herself is still struggling in the Guogong Mansion, where has she done too much?
It's just that when she talks to Qin Zheng now, she remembers it.
Qin Zheng replied this time, but his voice was very flat: "Since I was a child, she has been sick for a long time, and she has been taking medicine all these years. She was afraid that she would give me too much sickness, so she never let me see her. ”
Because her back was to Gu Jiu, she couldn't see the expression on his face, let alone see that Qin Zheng's hand holding the lantern suddenly clenched, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were revealed.
Gu Jiu didn't expect this reason, it turned out that it wasn't that Qin Zheng was unwilling to go, but that the Lin family himself didn't let him go?
Thinking like this, she thought that the Lin family didn't have much time left, so she said tentatively: "I see that Mrs. is happy tonight, and after the son, can I move around more?" ”
Guijiu Courtyard was already in front of him, Qin Zheng stopped and looked back at her.
Gu Jiu didn't dare to look at his gaze, but when he saw the lantern in his hand shining on the steps for him, he thanked him first: "Thank you, Shizi." ”
Qin Zheng just looked at her and answered the previous question: "Well, okay." ”
When Gu Jiu stepped on the steps, he heard his deep voice.
