The boat travels for more than half a day, the sound of the swaying oars is "欮 nai", the river surface ripples in the place where it passes, the mountains on both sides of the river, all the greenery is continuous, and it is in the center of it.
Gu Shu pushed Shi Yin, and Shi Yin slowly let go of her, and the two looked at Jiang Jing side by side.
Shi Yin asked the housekeeper to inquire about Guihuai Town, just now, the housekeeper said that there was a person waiting for Gu Shu in Guihuai Town, and he didn't know anything else, but he knew that he was an old gentleman in a private school, who was weak and sick for a long time.
"I heard that you have an old man in Guihuai Town?"
Gu Shu was slightly stunned, turned his gaze to the river, his eyes showed longing, and he said without hesitation: "Yes, after so many years, I don't know if he is still there." ”
Shi Yin stood with his hands in his hands, thinking deeply about the river without saying a word.
The mist had long since lifted, and a few houses were scattered in the mountains, and curling smoke was rising, and the embankment could be faintly seen. At this time, the shipkeeper shouted that it was almost there, and the guest officers could pack up and prepare to disembark.
In the sparsely populated mountains and forests, the boat was moored on the shore, and when he got off the boat, he helped Gu Shu, and he never let go. Gu Shu asked him to help Shi Xu go, how could Shi Xu need him to help, there was a housekeeper.
Shi Yin and Gu Shu walked in front, seeing that her face was serious, and then she had to lead everyone to walk the mountain road, over the mountains and mountains, she was not sure about this road, what if she got lost.
The soldiers who followed behind didn't know, how boring the journey was, the soldiers chatted about it, and some of them heard about Gu Shu's identity, and the soldiers felt that she didn't look like a lady in the palace at all.
Another soldier interjected, what is this, this lady is the princess of brocade clothes and jade food, I don't know if it is the rumor that came out, it is said that Mrs. was kicked out of the palace when she was a child, and she could still support herself alone when there was a famine in the country, and her ability was not small, and the more she talked, the more respectful she became.
I walked through the mountain road, entered a town, and asked for an inn to stay. Gu Shu suddenly remembered that today was July 15, the Midyear Festival, and she would inevitably go to the river lantern to pray for blessings every year, so she slowly asked: "Second master, the night market here is lively, can you be interested in going shopping?" ”
Shi Yin spoke: "If you want to go, I'll go with you after dinner." ”
Shi Xu knew that he would go with him after he died, saying that he had never been there before, and he was very curious.
Gu Shu said, "Take Shi Xu with you, he will be happy if he is playful." ”
"Okay." Shi Yin said.
It is also the Shangyuan Festival, the twilight is sparse, and all kinds of paper lamps have long been lit up under the eaves of door to door. It was a little dark, and some people took river lamps to the river, far and near.
A girl suddenly burst out of the dark alley, just running around in the crowd, attracting the attention of others, and behind her was chasing a few strong men with bamboo sticks, all with a fierce face.
"Help! Help me! She only screamed twice, and the strong man hit Gu Shu's back with a bamboo stick, and made up a few sticks, so painful that she curled up and couldn't speak, and someone surrounded her, and it was full.
Someone came out to theorize, "Why are you like this, is there any royal law in this world?!" ”
"What's wrong with beating her, she is a girl who escaped from the Qinglou, and she signed a deed of sale!"
Immediately after she was carried by the strong man, the fire on her back hurt, she heard the strong man scold, "There is no worry about food and clothing in the building, and it is your blessing to be able to keep you a little beggar. ”
This time, she was taken back to the Qinglou and tied up tightly and sent to the bustard.
When the old bustard was young, she may have been a peerless woman, although she was stained with the smell of a woman in the dust, she couldn't hide her arrogance, but she spoke with the charm of a fireworks woman, "Little beggar, you look down on the woman in the dust." ”
She took a small pipe, put it in her mouth, closed her eyes and inhaled, and spit out all white smoke, reflecting the tears in the corners of her eyes, "A good family has the benefits of a good woman, and a woman in the dust also has benefits, and they also have their own sufferings. The girl in the building fell in love with the benefactor, and the benefactor ransomed her and accepted her, but she was bullied by the prominent housewife, and she was infamous as a prostitute until she died. The girl from a good family either believes in fate, and is obsessed with looking for a true man, but in the end she is just a negative person, and she can't resist Miss Qianjin to give Lang Jun a good future. Either the words of the matchmaker, the life of the parents, the picture is all about the right family, money, fame and fortune. ”
"This is saying that a good family and a woman in the dust are not easy to live, is it saying that I am more unbearable than them now, and I have no status, so I am advised not to make trouble as soon as possible?"
The old bustard smiled, "The little girl is quite smart. ”
This year's Shangyuan.
Shi Yin walked side by side with her in the market, Shi Xu was really a child, everything was interesting, and he was running around in front of him.
Shi Yin stopped in front of a stall, reached out and picked up a hairpin, shook it in front of Gu Shu's eyes, and put it on her bun again, and said sweetly: "This hairpin is very good with a lady."
As he spoke, he paid for the silver and bought it, and the mother-in-law of the stall praised the son's good vision again and again, not only this lady is also beautiful, but this hairpin is also well chosen.
Gu Shu hurriedly stopped him, she didn't need so many hairpins, and persuaded him that it was better to buy himself a new dress if he had this silver.
Shi Yin was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect it, and then put down the hairpin, nodded and said a little unwillingly: "Listen to Madame." ”
In front, Shi Xu turned around and shouted Shi Yin: "Brother, come quickly!" This one is interesting. ”
Shi Yin agreed, but walked slowly, Gu Shu could still hear the laughter of the Shi brothers in the distance, his heart warmed, and he said softly, "I'm fine now, I'm very happy, don't worry." ”
Suddenly, when he turned around, Shi Yin was behind him, carefully putting something into his hair, and Gu Shu reached out and touched the bead flower.
Hearing his nonsense, he said smoothly: "I wanted to listen to Madame, but I saw that this one was more beautiful than that one, and I couldn't help but want to buy it for Madame." ”
A serious nonsense Shi Yin is really interesting.
"I know you're not happy in Luguo, why are you so unhappy when you return to Hub, how beautiful your smile is."
"Shi Yin." She reached out and touched the hairpin on her head, her heart warmed, and she called him with a smile.
is not small, dare to call him by his name. Although he complained in his heart, the corners of his mouth were a little tense, and he laughed.
"It's late at night, let's go home."
On the way back, Shi Xu ran far in front, and Shi Yin took Gu Shu's hand behind, strolling and talking.
Shi Yin said casually, "Madam, you married far away at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and now that you have returned to your homeland, do you want to go back to the palace?" ”
Gu Shu understood what he meant, "The concubine is willing to always be by her husband's side." ”
"Second master, the concubine will discuss with you. The house has not been taken care of for many years, so you can let the housekeeper take someone to leave early to clean up and make your stay more comfortable. ”
"Madame is thoughtful, hard work, you are in charge."
After half a ring, Shi Yin suddenly made people feel low, and shouted in a warm voice, "Madam." ”
"Huh?"
Suddenly hugged her into his arms, met her eyes full of surprise, and explained with a smile, "It's cold." ”
Shi Xu didn't dare to look back.
