Chapter 111: The flowers fade and the red and green apricots are small
The wind was a little cool, Jin Xiaolou turned around and left after speaking.
Her mind was buzzing all over the place, she just wanted to be quiet and slow, and she didn't want to see him again.
Gao Lang stopped in front of Jin Xiaolou in two steps, wanting to explain the previous incident in detail: "Xiaolou, I hurt you more than a year ago, I was attacked by the enemy in the abdomen and back, and I was accidentally poisoned, but fortunately I met you, and I was able to survive." ”
Gao Lang paused, he was grateful to her from the bottom of his heart, but he also felt guilty about her.
"It's just that at that time, it was inconvenient for me to stay for a long time, and I couldn't give you an explanation, I thought about it every day, so I came to Jingkou Village whenever I had the opportunity, just to find you."
Hearing this, Jin Xiaolou lowered his head and laughed self-deprecatingly.
It turns out that the love she has always thought is just his repayment?
Jin Xiaolou is not a confused chaotic brain, as long as someone treats her well, she will follow that person.
The relationship she wants is the ignorant and warm feelings of both parties, the sincere care for each other, appreciation, support, and love.
Whatever it is, don't repay the favor.
She raised her head suddenly, stared at Gao Lang's eyes without blinking, and said: "The person you are looking for, the woman who stupidly saved you, but lost her innocence and conceived a child, the peasant girl Jin Xiaolou who didn't know a single word in Jingkou Village, died as early as when she gave birth to Lin'er for you." ”
Jin Xiaolou's heart ached, she thought of the first day she came to this world, the warm blood that spurted out of her body really took away a life.
She pitied that Jin Xiaolou, and also made a promise to her to find the man who hurt her for her.
Now, that man is right in front of him.
But it was the person who came into her heart little by little.
Jin Xiaolou can accept that Gao Lang is a fool, but he can't accept that Gao Lang is the villain in the sorghum field more than a year ago, and he can't accept all the love Gao Lang has for her, it has never been love, but it comes from guilt and gratitude.
Jin Xiaolou suddenly became louder, a little hoarse: "Jin Xiaolou is very unlucky, she didn't wait for you, and she didn't live!" Jin Xiaolou is dead, she took her own life to save you, but you couldn't save her, live a lifetime with this guilt and gratitude! ”
As soon as the words fell, the family of Hefu leaned over with a lantern.
From afar, they saw the Assassin leader lying here, and were about to come over to examine the corpse.
Jin Xiaolou hurriedly buried his head and ran out, Gao Lang wanted to chase, but his body just moved, but he stopped, looking at the figure that was gradually moving away.
Chang'an came to Gao Lang's side and called in a low voice: "Seventh Master." ”
Where has he ever seen his seventh master be so attentive to people, but he has been rejected so thoroughly.
"Miss Xiaolou will understand you eventually." After hesitating for a moment, Chang'an still spoke more, he looked at Gao Lang's bleeding hand, "Master, your injury ......"
"Let's go." Gao Lang's face returned to coldness, glanced at the family who was getting closer and closer, leaned over to pick up his long sword, and brushed his clothes away.
At this time, it was getting late, and the husband walked along the street with a gong to remind the people that the curfew was imminent and that they should not move around at will.
The officers and soldiers in the city all flocked to Hefu, and there were few patrolling the streets.
Jin Xiaolou didn't even have a lantern, so he touched the darkness and walked to Shanji.
Shan Kee has a sign that is open for twelve hours, from morning to night, and from night to morning, and a lantern is always lit at the door.
Although as soon as the curfew time came, no one would come to Shanji again, but at this moment, this bright lantern drove away the darkness around Jin Xiaolou and ironed her panicked heart.
Before he could get to the front, he saw Gui Zhi leaning against the door, looking forward to it.
Zhou Shuli seemed to be very worried about the winter, the cold wind blew on Guizhi, and he stood carefully upwind to block the cold air for Guizhi.
Jin Xiaolou's face, which had been calm, stretched out at this moment.
Seeing Jin Xiaolou coming back, Gui Zhi hurriedly took a cloak and put it on for her, and stuffed a hot kettle into her hand: "Hefu is really, I don't know how to send a sedan chair to send you back, it's freezing this day, what should I do if I get cold!" ”
"How can you be so squeamish!" Jin Xiaolou laughed, "It's not paper paste, is it possible that it will fall when the cold wind blows?" ”
"Come on in." Gui Zhi hugged Jin Xiaolou and stabbed Zhou Shuli beside him, "What are you still doing in a daze, tell Sister Ruyue to put the dumplings in the pot quickly, those little girls in the house have been waiting for their eyes to glow green." ”
After speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and said slowly: "Gao Lang has slept all day, and in the evening, Lu Yun can't afford to call it, and he still locks the door, Xiaolou, I'm a little worried, but don't have a fever and burn people in a mess." ”
As soon as he heard Gao Lang's name, Jin Xiaolou paused, and what he had forgotten just now poured into his heart again.
Gui Zhi saw that Jin Xiaolou was not leaving, and thought that she was worried about Gao Lang, so she joked: "You go and call, he must get up." When the time comes, the two of you will win a lottery, and you will add a sister to Lin'er next year. ”
Jin Xiaolou smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No need to call, he's not at home." ”
"Not at home?" Gui Zhi was stunned, "Then where can he go alone, Xiaolou, don't scare me." ”
Jin Xiaolou held Gui Zhi's shoulder: "Don't worry about him, not only is he not stupid, but he is much better than us...... Let's go, let's eat dumplings, I'm already hungry with my belly sticking to my belly. ”
Gui Zhi was stunned.
Gao Lang is not stupid? Then how could he come to this poor and remote place with the housekeeper of the house, and make the marriage so casual?
Gui Zhi had a stomach full of doubts, but it could be seen that Jin Xiaolou didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask anymore, just followed the cooking dumplings.
The dumplings with cabbage and pork have thin skin and large filling, fragrant and juicy, and the whole body is warm after a bowl of belly.
The two copper coins were both eaten by Jin Xiaolou, and everyone praised Boss Jin for definitely having greater wealth waiting for him in the future.
And Gui Zhi ate a red date, she didn't say anything, Zhou Shuli, who was sitting next to her, blushed first, happy and shy, lowered her eyes and touched her head, and looked at Gui Zhi from time to time. The people at the table laughed loudly, which made Guizhi very embarrassed, and threw the chopsticks and ran to the backyard.
Seeing Zhou Shuli scratching his head, looking stunned, Jin Xiaolou slapped the table: "What are you doing, chase after it!" ”
Zhou Shuli reacted at this time, and hurriedly threw away his chopsticks and went to the backyard.
Gui Zhi sat under the magnolia tree, Zhou Shuli slowly leaned over, and it took a long time before he spoke: "You just ate a jujube, which is a good color, which means giving birth to a noble son early." ”
By the curtain of the kitchen door, Jin Xiaolou and Lu Yun secretly opened a crack to look outside.
Ruyi was boiling the dishwashing water, and Ruyue held Lin'er and looked at the two people by the curtain and shook her head, but she couldn't help it, and smoothed her eyes to the outside of the curtain.
"This ...... You still need to ......" Gui Zhi saw Zhou Shuli sitting beside him, turned around and twisted the corners of his clothes, and turned his back to him.
Zhou Shuli smiled, and said slowly: "There is an allusion to this jujube and a noble son, legend has it that a long time ago, there was a big sand gang in the southern suburbs, and the radius of dozens of miles was filled with yellow sand, and ......it was deserted."
The more Jin Xiaolou listened, the more anxious she became, Zhou Shuli, a nerd, when she was talking about any allusions now, she stomped her feet, lifted the curtain, and shouted: "Give birth to a noble son early, how can this Guizhi have a child alone!" ”
Lu Yun also giggled, and shouted, "Guizhi, who are you going to have a baby with?" ”
Gui Zhi never thought that there were still people eavesdropping on the side, so he was so ashamed that he hurriedly got up and wanted to leave. Zhou Shuli finally had a spirit, and said to Guizhi: "My child, Guizhi, we will have a noble son early." ”
After that, he was so anxious that he stretched out his hand and grabbed Guizhi, and remembered that men and women could not kiss each other, so he hurriedly let go, and said loudly: "Huang Guizhi, I ...... I...... I have admired you for a long time, if you agree, I will call a matchmaker to propose to you, can you marry me? ”
Guizhi's eyes were wet, and she turned around.
The candle flame in the courtyard shattered the magnolia tree into ripples on the ground, rippling on the two people, one high and one low.
She bit her lip and said, "My family is a broken family, and I have also become a relative once, you ...... Don't you mind? ”
Zhou Shuli shook his head vigorously: "Guizhi, what I admire is you as a person, and it has nothing to do with your family or your past. ”
Zhou Shuli said sincerely, Gui Zhi's tears flowed uncontrollably, she stopped talking, lowered her head, and ran towards her wing, leaving Zhou Shuli standing in the courtyard.
Lu Yun looked at Jin Xiaolou: "Shopkeeper, Gui Zhi just ran away, did you agree, or didn't you agree?" ”
Jin Xiaolou shook his head, and before he could speak, he saw Gui Zhi come out again, holding a piece of paper in his hand. ran out and stuffed it into Zhou Shuli's hand, and said softly: "I'm only alone, don't talk about matchmaking or anything, this is a good day, can you see if it's appropriate." ”
After saying that, he turned his head and hid back in the house, this time closing the door tightly.
Zhou Shuli opened the paper in his hand and saw that it was a page torn from the yellow calendar, and the calendar date of this official seal was clearly written, and it was suitable for marriage.
Zhou Shuli was overjoyed, and shouted at Guizhi's wing: "Suitable, very suitable." ”
……
This night, Jin Xiaolou hugged Lin'er, who was sleeping soundly, and was happy for Gui Zhi from the bottom of his heart, but somehow he thought of Gao Lang again, and the details of Gao Lang rolled through thousands of times in his mind, and the sky dawned without paying attention.
After wrapping the dumplings yesterday, Gui Zhi sent some to Carpenter Sun's house in Jingkou Village, and early this morning, Carpenter Sun personally drove to deliver goods to Shanji.
This carriage was bought early, so as not to have to call a car every time for delivery, which is not only inconvenient but also more expensive.
Carpenter Sun moved the fresh vegetables, chickens, ducks and pork that had just been slaughtered, and Jin Xiaolou stood aside and asked Zhou Shuli to keep an account of the goods.
"How's the farm?" Jin Xiaolou handed this month's monthly money to Carpenter Sun, a full hundred taels of silver, and put it heavily in the baggage.
Carpenter Sun took it and replied, "According to your drawings, it is almost done, a few days ago the women of the village went everywhere to collect some chickens, ducks, piglets, and calves, and came back, and now, every family has arranged work, and everyone feels that life is much better than before, not only do they not have to worry about food and clothing, but they can also have some money left." ”
Jin Xiaolou nodded, and was about to ask a few more questions, when he listened to the sound behind him, and said loudly: "Why does this chicken look like something is not quite right this time?" ”
