Chapter 31: Marriage
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Gu Baoying went up the mountain with a basket on her back.
Zhiyan's injury is almost healed, so he will follow her.
At this time, there are also many early risers in the village, either to work in the fields, or children to go up the mountain to dig weeds and collect dry firewood.
The two walked together, and Zhiyan's tall figure, like a tail, always followed closely behind Gu Baoying, as if he was afraid that he would get in her way if he walked fast, and he couldn't keep up with her pace if he slowed down.
But walking like this, if she was not careful, either Zhiyan bumped into her, or Baoying tripped over his foot and almost fell.
She had no choice but to stop and turn to look at Zhiyan: "What are you doing?" Wouldn't it be nice to walk next to me? ”
"Oh." Zhiyan nodded and obediently walked to her side.
"Second sister-in-law Feng!" As she was walking, a figure in front of her slowly walked over, Gu Baoying looked at it and recognized it as Feng Shi, the second daughter-in-law of Zhao Jiangpo, and couldn't help beckoning to her in surprise.
"Bao Ying." Feng Shi was also very happy to see her, tightened the heavy basket on his back, and walked over quickly.
Although Feng is the daughter-in-law of Zhao Jiangpo, she has not been contaminated with her philistine at all, and she is well-known, gentle and with a little true temperament.
Gu Baoying has always admired her, and when she met her at this time, she naturally had to stand together and say a few words.
"Second sister-in-law Feng, did you go to the river to wash clothes early in the morning?"
"Yes, Baoying, are you going up the mountain to dig wild vegetables again? Hey, who is this little brother? The first time Feng saw Zhiyan, he couldn't help but be a little curious.
"It's my savior, I was lost in the Forbidden Forest and in danger before, thanks to him for saving me." Gu Baoying glanced at Zhiyan and said.
Although Jiang Zhen had mentioned her, if anyone asked about Zhiyan, he would say that he was a relative.
But Gu Baoying's family are all homeless, where did this relative come from? Moreover, even if she said this, the Yang family would definitely expose it, saying that the Gu family did not have such a relative at all, and maybe she would have to add oil and vinegar to say more ugly things.
So, she simply said so.
Anyway, the benefactor who saved his life, and he was homeless, she left him at home, even if others had the intention to provoke him, but she did this, it was just a gratitude, and it was understandable.
"No, Baoying, you are my savior." At this time, when Zhiyan heard it, he corrected me seriously, "You saved me first, and then healed my injuries." ”
"But you saved me, too." Gu Baoying followed.
"If you hadn't saved me first, how could there have been any follow-ups? Baoying, everything is because of your kindness. ”
“…… Well, I saved you, and you saved me, so it's all right? Bao Ying is helpless, his head is too tendonous.
"Well, that's a lot more appropriate." Zhiyan nodded thoughtfully, so he was satisfied.
Feng Shi watched from the sidelines, a little funny.
She tightened her back basket again, looked at the two of them with kind eyes, and looked at the two gently: "Baoying, it's not too early, I have to go back to prepare for cooking, next time we meet, let's talk about it again, and when I go home, say hello to your mother for me." ”
"Second sister-in-law Feng, go back quickly." After knowing each other for so long, Bao Ying knew that Zhao Jiangpo was the most critical of her second daughter-in-law, so she hurriedly said.
Feng Shi smiled at her again and walked towards the village.
But as soon as she turned around, Gu Baoying found that the clothes behind her were all wet with the wet and dripping clothes in the back basket.
This scene made her heart tighten.
"Zhao Jiangpo seems to be really harsh to Feng, the first time I saw Feng's second sister-in-law, she came out to wash her clothes so early, when the weather was not warm now, those cold river water soaked her clothes and stuck to her body...... How cold does this have to be? How much to suffer? Gu Baoying felt like she was shivering with cold just thinking about it.
It's not that she hasn't seen the other women in the village, they go to the river to wash their clothes with basins, so that they don't get soaked in their clothes, but Feng Shi carries this basket every time.
As a second-class matchmaker, Mrs. Zhao eats the money of the government, and every time she says that she has a red envelope to get when she gets married, she still sells sauce at home, so she can't even afford a pot, so she can only be deliberately abused.
"Strange, according to what you say, doesn't this man from Feng's second sister-in-law know to say a word for her?" On the side, Zhiyan couldn't help but say with some doubts.
"I heard that her man is very cowardly, and he didn't dare to resist Zhao Jiangpo at all, so he could only bully his daughter-in-law by his mother-in-law, in addition, Zhao Jiangpo treated the Feng family so harshly, because she married to the Zhao family for more than two years, and she has not conceived a child yet." Gu Baoying shook her head, not to mention ancient times, even modern times are not uncommon.
"Let's go, go up the mountain first, Jiang Chao and they should have arrived." As she spoke, she continued her way up the hill.
However, after taking a few steps, I felt that something was wrong.
Why didn't her tail keep up?
When he turned his head to look, he saw Zhiyan stopped in place, his sword eyebrows were slightly furrowed on his handsome face, and he seemed to be a little angry, and he was looking at her sullenly at this time.
"What's wrong?"
"Baoying, when you grow up, when you talk about marriage and choose a husband, you must not only look at the other party's family background, but also look at his character." Zhiyan sighed, and his handsome face was solemn.
“……”
"Why do you say that?"
Gu Baoying reacted, and realized that he was actually worrying about himself, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, wanting to hear what was going on in his mind with such an unhappy face.
"Isn't that obvious? Take Feng's second sister-in-law as an example, she and her husband are married couples who share the same bed, but the other party is timid and cowardly, such a person, whoever marries him, will only suffer and suffer for the rest of his life, and will not be happy, but as long as he treats each other sincerely, he will never tolerate his daughter-in-law being bullied, even if that person is his own mother. ”
"Therefore, if you want to marry in the future, you must choose someone who cherishes you very much, even if your mother-in-law is a little difficult, but as long as he, who is a husband, is willing to stand on your side and love you and protect you, you can always live a peaceful and beautiful life." Zhiyan looked at her and said at length in a serious manner.
His words really shocked Gu Baoying.
I am afraid that many wealthy and knowledgeable people may not understand these transparent truths, but it can be known that Yan is a "mountain man" who has lost his memory, but he can blurt it out.
It can be seen that although he has amnesia, the truth he should understand is still in his consciousness.
Looking at his handsome face, the whole person was like a jade tree, a question that she had not thought about in detail these days finally came out of her mind at this moment.
Zhiyan is definitely not an ordinary mountain man, so what will his true identity be?
"Baoying, do you remember what I said?" As soon as she saw the little girl staring at her in a daze, Zhiyan thought that she hadn't listened at all, so she couldn't help but raise her hand and gently knocked on her head.
"Oops! Remember! Gu Baoying hurriedly raised her hand to protect her smart head and glared at him.
However, her apricot eyes were clear and Lingling seemed to have a pool of spring water in her mouth, and she glared at her like this, not only was it not lethal, but she also misunderstood Zhiyan, thinking that she was thinking of marrying someone in the future, and she was coquettish and shy.
He smiled, and his gentle tone was like a spring breeze in March: "However, you are still young, and it doesn't matter if you can't remember, when you grow up to the age of talking about marriage in the future, I will naturally personally see a suitable husband for you, so you don't have to worry about it." ”
