Gu Rui invited Gu Lu to the wine shop, unwilling to let others see the jokes of the brother and sister at the gate of the Fang family's mansion.

He didn't agree with Wang's choice, but he didn't want Wang to be caught by the Fang family again.

Wang's life can be good, and he, as a son, can leave the capital with confidence.

In a slightly dilapidated wine shop in the market, Gu Lu looked at the greasy wine shop in the wind, and saw many men in thick clothes and short shirts coming in and out.

"How did my brother come to this place? Let's find a clean and quiet wine shop. ”

Fortunately, today, Gu Lu's dress is simple, just like a girl in the market.

Gu Rui walked in the door, "Fourth sister doesn't know, this wonton is particularly delicious." ”

The inside of the restaurant is very spacious and looks clean, but the table still feels slightly greasy to the touch.

Gu Lu bit her lip and walked in.

She saw Gu Rui greeting the boss like a familiar one, and said a few words to a few familiar regulars.

"Oh, this is your sister."

The proprietress is in her thirties, still charming, with an apron hanging from her waist, and she has to clean up the dishes and chopsticks left by the guests in front of her.

Gu Rui nodded and said: "It's my fourth sister, I will leave the capital for a few days, and I specially invited her to eat a bowl of wontons today, and Qingniang will put more spicy seeds." ”

"It's so beautiful." The proprietress smiled and said, "Not only do I put more spicy seeds, but I will give you a plate of braised pork, so that your sister can also know my Qingniang's craftsmanship." ”

Gu Rui smiled and thanked him, and after Gu Lu sat down, there was a faint tingling in his heart.

In his previous life, even when his brother was at his most depressed, he didn't call him brother and brother with the people in the market, let alone come to such a cramped place to eat.

Seeing my brother's pie, I often come here to eat wontons.

Gu Rui didn't need to be served by the proprietress, so he directly took the chopsticks and soup spoon, "A few days ago, I often came here to eat wontons, which are even more delicious than the ones made by the chef in the house." ”

"Actually, if I didn't find a job later, I couldn't even afford to eat wontons."

"After I separated from you, I ran into a wall here, and soon I was penniless, hungry for several days, and finally fainted at the door of this store, Qing Niang didn't dislike me, and cooked me a bowl of wontons."

Gu Rui smiled softly, as if he had the most wonderful taste in the aftertaste, "That bowl of wontons is the best I have ever tasted, and later after I earn silver, I will also come here to eat a bowl of wontons." Maybe the silver is earned by my ability, and I feel very sweet every time. ”

"Brother shouldn't be so ......"

Gu Lu choked up and couldn't go on.

At this time, the proprietress brought wontons and braised pork, "It's not enough for my sister to add it to you, little brother, you have to be careful when you go out of Beijing, the road is not very peaceful, your body is weak, it's best to find a companion to go with." ”

Gu Rui smiled and nodded, "I can save it." ”

He seemed to really regard Qing Niang as a sister, and the regulars laughed a few words, and Qing Niang laughed and blocked their ridicule back.

"Don't underestimate Qing Niang, she has been widowed for ten years. At the beginning, her in-laws disliked her husband and kicked her out of the house, when she was only three months pregnant. ”

Gu Rui took a few sips of soup first, and said softly: "She didn't look for death and life, nor did she do the unsightly skin and meat business, she first worked as a maid in a wine shop, and after giving birth to her son, she took her son all the way through to have this wine shop." ”

"Her business is very good, she has an income of more than ten taels of silver every month, and she can also provide for her son's education."

A flash of admiration flashed in Gu Rui's eyes, Gu Lu ate the wontons, and the taste was quite good, "A dozen taels of silver?" It's not enough for my mother to buy rice paper every half month. ”

“……”

Gu Rui sighed meaningfully, "If my mother had the perseverance of Qingniang, and she didn't always pay attention to love and poetry, maybe today we are still the young master and young lady of the Gu family." ”

"Brother resents his mother?"

"Nope."

Gu Rui shook his head and said: "It's just a feeling, Qing Niang's son is very talented, filial and sensible, but at the age of ten, he is like a little adult, and he will always help Qing Niang after reading every day." It's not that there are no gangsters who come here to make trouble, but there are also many neighbors who support Qingniang. ”

"Fourth sister, there are still more good people in this world, as long as they are people with good character, they will always be helped by well-wishers."

Gu Lu was eating wontons, and her heart was covered with an obscure mist.

"Xu is in another ten years, Qing Niang will be the mother of Jinshi, and when she is sealed, I will not have the opportunity to eat the wontons she made by herself."

Gu Rui chuckled, "That kid can be regarded as my student, although I can teach him to a limited extent, I only hope that he can maintain the current strength of hard work, and don't want to calculate anyone, or take shortcuts." ”

"The road to the imperial examination is long and obstructive, and there is no shortcut."

"What about him?"

Gu Lu pursed the corners of her lips, "If there is no shortcut, how can Yongle Hou be the first in the second class of high school?" ”

"There is only one Yongle Hou in the world, the fourth sister, as he said, those who are not convinced can also give birth to a genius like the third brother, not to mention him...... His eyes were injured and he became blind, which was also caused by His Majesty's meritorious service, and the Imperial Examination High School was also a reward given to him by His Majesty. ”

Gu Lu was a little unconvinced, and muttered, "He will flatter His Majesty." ”

"It is also his ability to impress His Majesty." Gu Rui ate most of the bowl of wontons, and put braised pork in his mouth to chew.

"Now that my mother has remarried, she should be satisfied with her life in the Fang family if she marries the person she likes, and don't mention the previous things."

"Brother......

Gu Rui looked at Gu Lu and said solemnly: "No matter who can't stand whom, who is right and who is wrong, they have nothing to do with each other, and my mother shouldn't go to find Gu Siye." If Mother still wants to live a good life, don't bother Gu Siye anymore. ”

"How many times have I been slapped in the face by Gu Siye, and my mother still doesn't know how to be afraid and reflect?"

Gu Lu's eyes flashed, and he argued forcefully: "Mother is just unwilling, but she didn't deliberately go against him, my brother didn't know that Fang Shibo was ...... How miserable was Gu Yao......"

Speaking of this, Gu Lu paused for a moment and pinched the spoon, "Gu Yao said that it was for my sake, but in the final analysis, it was just for Gu Siye." ”

She is not a person who does not know what to do, she was a little moved at the time, but Gu Yao ruined Fang Shibo by doing this, and her life with her mother in the Fang family was particularly difficult.

Looking at Fang Shibo's dejected appearance now, Gu Lu couldn't help but complain that Gu Yao was too ruthless.

"If she really thinks about me, can't she talk to Fang Shibo in private?"

Gu Rui sighed and looked at Qing Niang's busy and diligent figure, "I originally thought that you would be able to understand some things and see through some people when you came here." The fourth sister is no longer Miss Gu's family, not Gu Yao's sister, why should she think about Fang Zhan, who lost her father's face? ”

"The sixth sister has a resolute and resolute temperament, don't mess with her, she is a kind little white rabbit, once she provokes the person she cares about."

Gu Rui said softly: "Then you have to be prepared to be retaliated by her tenfold, fourth sister, I only have one request, don't provoke her again, you can't fight her." ”
