Early in the morning, before dawn, Gu Qing was awakened by a nightmare, got up and saw the surroundings before remembering that he had escaped from danger, sitting on the bed, Gu Qing's loneliness followed, and he didn't know where to go in the future. At this time, there was the sound of people walking outside, and thinking that I couldn't sleep anymore, I got up and walked out of the room.

"Grandma, where are you going?" As soon as Gu Qing came out, she saw Grandma, who had already packed up and was ready to go out.

Grandma Chen didn't expect Gu Qing to get up so early, she was a little surprised, "I'm going to go out to work, if Chen Chen's sister wakes up later, you can take care of her, you won't work, you will always take care of people, right?" ”

Gu Qing didn't care about Grandma Chen's sarcastic words, "Okay, Grandma, don't worry, my sister will be handed over to me!" ”

Not long after sending Grandma Chen away, Chen Chen also got up.

"Sister, it's early!"

"Morning, Chen Chen."

Gu Qing was boiling water in the kitchen, "Come, come and wash your face." ”

Chen Chen took the handkerchief, "Sister, don't you look like a person who can boil water?" ”

Embarrassing, although Gu Qing has been served by others all these years, she will not forget some common sense of life, okay? Besides, in fact, if Grandma Chen hadn't set up a fire before leaving, in fact, whether this pot of water could be boiled out is also a question.

"Wash your face, why are you up so early?" Gu Qing said angrily.

Chen Chen wiped his face carelessly, "I'm going to the mountains to pick some herbs and exchange them for money." ”

"Going so early? Is it safe? Gu Qing looked at the slightly transparent sky, not very relieved.

Chen Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's okay, I've been there many times." ”

Although he was a little worried, Gu Qing couldn't stop it, "Then you go early and come back early." ”

"Okay, sister, you can stay at home and take care of Ah Jing."

"Uh-huh, I see."

After sending Chen Chen away, Gu Qing began to sweep the floor, and the entire yard was cleaned by Grandma Chen, and Gu Qing just swept the dust simply.

"Ahem."

Hearing the voice coming from the back room, Gu Qing hurriedly put down what he was doing and knocked lightly at the door, "Is Ah Jing awake?" Can I come in? ”

"Please come in." The voice of the voice is very small and gentle.

Sure enough, when Gu Qing entered the room, he saw a girl who was sitting, a girl with a smile on her face, looking very cute.

"That, my name is Gu Qing, and I only came here yesterday......"

"I know, Grandma told me about you." Chen Jing has a good impression of Gu Qing, after all, beautiful girls are more likeable.

Gu Qing touched her nose, this girl is not very old, she didn't expect to speak so maturely, "By the way, I'll bring you dinner." ”

Looking at Gu Qing who was going out in a hurry, Chen Jing thought of Grandma Chen's description of Gu Qing, a beautiful, simple, and lacking social practice.

Gu Qing, who had delivered breakfast, sat on the edge of Chen Jing's bed and chatted with Chen Jing.

"Sister, where are you from?"

"I'm from Yanjing."

"Yanjing, what kind of place is that?"

Gu Qing didn't expect Chen Jing to even know about Yan Kyoto. "Yanjing is where the emperor lives! You don't know that? ”

"Yes, since I was born, I can count the number of times I have been out of this yard on both hands." Chen Jing didn't take Gu Qing's contempt to heart.

Hearing Chen Jing say this, Gu Qing thought that her body didn't seem to be very good, "Well, don't talk about this." Let's change the subject. ”

"Okay!" Chen Jing spoke cooperatively. "Sister, is Yanjing fun?"

"Huh? You alright! In that case, there is not much fun in normal times, but during the holidays, it is very lively, when we all go out at night, the girls carry their favorite lanterns, and the boys join in the fun. At night, there are jugglers, singers, and most importantly, fireworks! ”

Speaking of strolling around Yanjing Street, it was still last year's New Year, and Gu Qing was a little nostalgic and a little sentimental.

Chen Jing, who has always been sensitive to emotions, thought that Gu Qing must have encountered something when he came from Yanjing alone, otherwise he would not be alone.

"Hmm. Presumably we will have it during the Chinese New Year, and if my health can be a little better, then we can go out and have a look together. ”

Packing up her mind, Gu Qing returned to her old appearance, "Okay, when the time comes, my sister will buy you the most beautiful lantern." ”

"Okay!" Chen Jing, who has not been in contact with the outside for a long time, likes to chat with Gu Qing very much, Gu Qing knows many things that she doesn't know, and all of these things are what Chen Jing yearns for.

At noon, Grandma Chen and Chen Chen came back together, carrying fat meat in their hands, and their faces were beaming.

"Today I was lucky, I bought the medicine at a good price, and we can open meat at noon today." Chen Chen smiled and said to Gu Qing and Chen Jing, "Sister, how are you feeling today?" ”

"It feels good, brother, go wash your hands! It's dirty. Chen Jing said.

"Okay, you all sit down, let me, a big man, cook you a delicious meal today."

"Stinky man, what kind of big man are you pretending?" Grandma Chen slapped Chen Chen on the head, "Go quickly, go to work." ”

"Oh, Grandma, I'm not kidding!" Touching the place where he was beaten, Chen Chen quickly escaped from the house.

"Grandma will boil the medicine for you later, drink the medicine and then eat!" Grandma Chen first touched Chen Jing's forehead with her hand, and the temperature was normal, so Grandma Chen was relieved. "You have to drink medicine obediently, so that the disease can get better quickly."

Chen Jing nodded obediently, this sentence "the illness gets better quickly", Chen Jing can't remember how many times she has heard it, she used to have some hopes, but now, she doesn't have much to look forward to.

After appeasing Chen Jing, Grandma Chen finally remembered to stand aside Gu Qing, "Go, go out to work with me, you have to listen to my arrangement at my house, I'll tell you ......"

Although Gu Qing knew that Grandma Chen was not bad, she still couldn't help but grimace behind Grandma Chen, and Chen Jing, who was seen, was happy.

"Ah Jing's medicine must be stewed with fire, so you can't use large pieces of wood fire, then the fire will be too strong, you can only use it, these are not enough, you just cut these big ones!"

Gu Qing looked at the materials that Grandma Chen pointed at and swallowed, "This...... So much? How long is it going to be cut? ”

"How long do I care if you cut it? If you don't want to do it, leave my house immediately. After speaking, Grandma Chen handed over the machete.

Gu Qing thought that he had no way out, so he resigned himself to his fate.

"Oh, my mother!"

"I cut, I cut, I cut and chop!"

Gu Qing had never done rough work, and he didn't have much strength, so that each piece of wood needed a lot of time. It didn't take long for Gu Qing's hands to be blistered.

The pain in her hand stimulated Gu Qing, thinking that she had also been sick before, and she didn't know how long those subordinates had been chopping wood. Thinking like this, Gu Qing suddenly found that she missed Yan Ze a little.

If Yan Ze saw her miserable situation now, Yan Ze would definitely feel very distressed when he thought about it, but now it is useless to think about this, after all, she has been "sold" now, and Yan Ze will not look for her again.

Thinking about it, Gu Qing's eyes were a little moist, if she couldn't stay here, she wouldn't have anywhere to go. If you can live a stable life for a lifetime, it seems good to be a "material girl" for a lifetime.

Gu Qing comforted himself while chopping wood, and at the end of the day, Gu Qing barely finished chopping, which was only enough for Chen Jing to boil medicine once.

"Moving so slowly? Continued tomorrow. Grandma Chen dropped this sentence, handed Gu Qing two steamed buns and left.

Gu Qing was completely devastated, and finally finished her work, she thought that Grandma Chen would praise her, but what she didn't expect was criticism. In the past, when Yan Ze was there, even if he brought him a glass of water, Yan Ze would kiss her and praise her for her ability.

"Sister, don't cry." Chen Chen came out after Grandma Chen left, and looked at the crying Gu Qing, he was a little at a loss.

At this time, Gu Qing was quiet in sadness, where could he stop? Finally, accompanied by Chen Chen, Gu Qing had dinner and stumbled back to the room.

Tonight's night was a little cold, Gu Qing hid in the quilt, thinking that if he was sick, he was afraid that he would have no money to see a doctor! Gu Qing took out the only remaining necklace around her neck, which was given to her by Yan Ze, saying that this was one of the dowry gifts left by his mother before her death, and when she took the princess before, she didn't use all of them, which made Gu Qing cheaper.

The design of this necklace is very simple, the pendant in the middle is the outline of a butterfly, and the butterfly's eyes are inlaid with black gemstones, which looks very exquisite.

Gu Qing thought that if she went back to before, she would definitely not go out to play, she would stay in the palace honestly, and be her aunt, although she was a wife, she would also be spoiled, and the princess was a kind person, and the days were smooth, which was also to blame for being playful.

Thinking about it, Gu Qing fell asleep, and in the dream, Gu Qing found that she had returned to the palace, and the princess was not poisoned, everything was fine.

When she woke up in the morning, Gu Qing realized that it was a dream, and Grandma Chen's shouts had already come from outside the door.

"What are you doing? It's so bright, you haven't gotten up to work, are you trying to be lazy? ”

"I'm coming, right away, right away."

A new day began, Gu Qing looked at himself in the bronze mirror and cheered for himself.

During the day, Grandma Chen did not arrange for her to do anything other than arrange her to cut wood, Gu Qing was still a little puzzled at first, and later learned from Chen Jing's mouth that Grandma Chen guessed that Gu Qing was homeless, and seeing that she was so weak and would fall down as soon as the wind blew, she was a little worried about her future life.

Grandma Chen hasn't read much, and she was favored by Grandpa Chen because of her strength and good farm work, and Grandma Chen is not a person who can express herself, so she acts according to her own thoughts.

After Gu Qing knew, she was a little moved, in the days that followed, Gu Qing was more obedient and obedient, working hard during the day, Grandma Chen no longer scolded her, and Gu Qing could see Yan Ze in her dream at night, and she couldn't miss her. The days went on in such an orderly manner.
