Gu Yanzhang looked at the girl's nervous face, and there was a little trepidation in her voice, and when she saw the light in the side room, she had already guessed a few points.

Sure enough, when he entered the inner room, the table by the window was unusually clean, there was not a single book, the head of the pen was black, and the pen on the table was still half full of water, and he didn't have time to cover it, and the bed tent was put down in time, but the hanging hooks at the two corners were still shaking slightly.

The leak in the corner dripped water, and the shaft of the arrow rose slowly, and by the light of the candle in the room, it was clear that it was ugly.

There were two white waxes lit on the table, which was very bright, and Qiuyue didn't need to hold the lamp, but only came over and whispered: "Official, Madame has rested." ”

Gu Yanzhang nodded, walked lightly to the side of the bed, lifted the bed tent, and sure enough, Ji Qingling had a thin bed on his body, facing the side of the wall, although he couldn't see his face, he looked like he was sleeping enough.

He didn't go to the shower, but went to the cubicle to take a bath, and then went back to the bedroom, where the two candles on the table had been extinguished, and only a small oil lamp was placed on the low cabinet outside the bed, half-dim - it looked like a sleeper.

Qiu Yue waited for Gu Yanzhang to enter the door, and seeing that there was nothing different on his face, he secretly gasped in his heart, closed the door, and went back to the house to rest without mentioning it.

Gu Yanzhang was not in a hurry to go to bed, he only plugged in the door bolt, and seeing that there was no movement on the bed, he didn't make a sound, and went to the table with the oil lamp to look around, and soon found a box on the bookshelf on the side that Ji Qingling used to put his manuscripts every day.

He opened the box, saw a thick stack of manuscripts piled up inside, put his finger on it and touched it, the ink on the top one was not dry, although it was headless and tailless, only glanced at it, and saw that the beginning was a sentence "Each person pays 400 Wen and 2 buckets of rice, counts 80,000 yuan, and 40,000 stones. "——Sure enough, it is a law to copy and soothe the people.

Gu Yanzhang put down the oil lamp in his hand, took out the manuscript in the box, only looked at it roughly, and then held the box in one hand and the oil lamp in the other hand and returned to the bed.

He put the box on the side of the pillow, carefully got on the bed, watched the left shoulder and arm of the person on the bed slightly bow together, silently counted a hundred times, and saw that there was no movement, so he blew the oil lamp outside through the bed tent, and also fell asleep facing the wall, adjusted his breathing, closed his eyes, and followed as if he was asleep.

After about half a cup of tea, he felt a slight movement next to him, and his heart was more angry than funny, and when he opened his eyes, he saw an unsuspecting face.

Ji Qingling was carrying the outer skirt that she had just taken off, and was about to pass over Gu Yanzhang, who was sleeping outside, and put it on the bedside table, but before she put it away, she only inadvertently lowered her head, but she was facing a pair of eyes looking at her, and she was startled, although she was empty in her heart, she would still pretend to be stupid, and whispered: "Fifth brother Mo cares about me, I'll go to the cubicle." ”

She found a reason to go to the toilet, and was about to get out of bed with her outer skirt, but she didn't want to get up halfway, so she heard a very gentle voice beside her: "What time did you sleep tonight?" ”

Ji Qingling's heart trembled, she was about to blurt out perfunctory, but she heard that the voice was wrong, and when she looked down, she saw a face with a faint color of wind and thunder, and in an instant, the belly-full cliché was beaten flat, so she had to pinch her outer skirt and lie back again.

She knew that the other party was really unhappy this time, so she leaned forward again, hugged Gu Yanzhang's waist with her right hand, and said obediently: "Fifth brother, I slept a little late tonight......"

He also said: "I had been lying down early for a while, but I took a nap for half an hour at noon, and I really couldn't sleep, so I thought about getting up to read a book and write, and I didn't want to come up on a whim, so I didn't ...... a good hour."

Gu Yanzhang didn't follow her words, and asked again, "It's just that you slept late tonight?" ”

Ji Qingling was startled, and secretly glanced at him with his eyes.

Gu Yanzhang sighed and said, "Why are you coaxing me to come?" ”

As he spoke, he half-sat on the head of the bed, took the box next to the pillow, opened the lid, and said softly: "How long have you been here?" Such a thing can be written in a dozen days? ”

He added: "I came back half an hour early tonight, for fear of noisy neighborhood, I didn't beat my horse when I entered the alley, and I ordered the door to be left outside in the morning, so that I could catch you...... The ink marks on it are not dry...... If I don't find out, how long are you going to stay up? ”

Ji Qingling knew that something was wrong, so he had to shrink his head and listen to the training.

Gu Yanzhang saw her pitiful, although he was still angry in his heart, he was a little reluctant, so he put the box in his hand aside, hugged the person into his arms, and coaxed: "I know your thoughts, but you have also read medical books, don't you understand that if you don't sleep at the right time, your liver and spleen will be out of tune?" It's easy to raise some meat on my face in the past two years, and this time, I'm so thin that I'm gone, and there is an epidemic in the city right now. Do you want to coax me to say that it's only one time tonight, and you recognize you when I am the first day? ”

Ji Qingling saw that his tone eased down, so he leaned forward and whispered: "I really have a little tonight, when I got to the son before, I fell asleep, this time because the thing was written during the day with only one tail, I thought that it would be done in one night, and in two days the fifth brother epidemic camp was finished, and I will soon free my hands to take care of the copying, and I will definitely be able to use it at that time." ”

She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yanzhang carefully, and said: "I asked the steward to inquire outside, that one Xu Duzhi has the heart to do things, but his method is too slow and not cheap, I take out this ready-made thing, and the fifth brother will refer to the people in the yamen, although it may not be of great use, it is good to end up with a shelf, and it is better to change it than to do it from scratch to save trouble?" ”

And said: "I'm just at home for a whole day, it's better than the fifth brother running out day and day, day and night without rest, this one is done, I can be regarded as a thing, there is no big thing to do in the future, I have my own kung fu to give birth to for a while, and I will raise it back, and then I will say it, it's only a few days of hard work, it's really nothing, I'm in good health!" ”

Gu Yanzhang heard it from the beginning to the end, and sighed: "You don't want to rely on me and be reluctant to scold you, you still know how to perfunctory me, how many times should you have promised to go to bed early?" As soon as something happened, he didn't admit it, and he only used it to coax me, and he never counted......"

And said: "You have the heart to do things, when did I stop you?" I also know what you're for, and I know what you're thinking, but next time I really don't want to stay up at night, I really can't bear your nonsense, and you will be more conscious from tomorrow. ”

Ji Qingling felt guilty in his heart, and honestly responded yes, this time he was sincere in his mistake, and he was frank, and he finally coaxed people well, and the two talked next to each other again, and then hugged each other and fell asleep.
