Chapter 175: The Rain Comes

Gu Zhai, a lamp burned quietly, casting three figures on the window paper.

"If she likes to check, she will check ....." Gu Bainiang stroked the scroll and said lightly, "I don't ask who she wants to deal with, but if she threatens me, I won't let her take advantage..."

"She will never take advantage, miss, don't worry." Lingyuan said.

Although he was standing indoors, he still didn't undo his cloak, and obviously didn't plan to stay long.

Gu Bainiang shook her head at him and smiled at him with relief, "This is not a matter of life and death, I can handle it, you don't have to worry about it...."

Ling Yuan nodded, his eyes swept over Gu Banniang's face with a bit of nostalgia.

"Brother, drink a bowl of tea soup..."Lingbao happily brought over the warm and delicious soup and tea.

Ling Yuan smiled at his sister and took a breath and drank it.

"I'm leaving." Ling Yuan once again took a deep look at the two of them.

The chrysanthemum light in the room is warm, and the smile is really soft, all of which he could have every day, but he made a mistake because of a wrong thought.

"Brother...."Lingbao was reluctant and grabbed his sleeve.

Ling Yuan stroked her head, and his eyes were reluctant, but he turned around without hesitation.

"I'll send you." Gu Bainiang stood up and followed.

Ling Yuan hesitated slightly, I am afraid that there will be fewer and fewer opportunities in this way, so let him be greedy again.

The two walked side by side, Lingbao lantern led the way in front, the night was thick, the moon and stars were scarce, and the earth was covered with a layer of bright veil.

"When our family went to Nanzhang, you sent those people, right? There are not many mistakes," Gu Bainiang asked.

"Yes...."Ling Yuan replied in a low voice, "Miss, don't blame Ling Bao, it's me who made my own decisions...."

"How can I blame you, thank you, just tell me in advance next time." Gu Banniang turned her head to look at him and smiled.

The relationship between the Zhu family and Gu Hai is like this, and what Lingyuan scruples about is exactly what Gu Bainiang thinks.

In the past, he relied on Gu Bainiang, but now he relies on traitors, but he has never relied on his own strength.

Ling Yuan lowered his gaze slightly.

"Lately....busy?" Gu Bainiang looked at him again and asked.

Because of his identity, it was so awkward to ask this originally ordinary caring words.

Ling Yuan sighed, and continued, "I'm studying. ”

It seems a little embarrassing to say this.

"Reading?" Gu Bainiang was very interested, looked at him and smiled, "That's good, read it?" ”

Ling Yuan was even more embarrassed, pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer.

"Hey, are you too embarrassed to tell me?" Gu Bainiang looked at him with a smile, reached out and patted his arm.

"It's not... It's the Book of Songs..."Ling Yuan said in a low voice.

"The Book of Songs? That's very good, I remember my father said, in fact, what poetry expresses is people, people's nature, people's desires, people's actions, and I also like the Book of Songs. Gu Banniang looked up at the night sky, and said with a little reminiscence, "Three hundred poems, in a word, say, thinking is innocent." ”

After a short conversation, he arrived at the door in a blink of an eye, and the two courtyards that had been waiting here hurriedly opened the door.

"Take care." Gu Bainiang looked at him and said solemnly.

Ling Yuan understood what she meant, lowered his gaze slightly, arched his hand, and turned around and walked into the darkness.

The night was deep, and the bustling capital finally fell into a deep sleep.

Fuyuan Mansion, the third lady Shen lived in the middle of nowhere, but the light was still on, she leaned on the soft pillow, squinted slightly, and spoke slowly, and there was a servant woman sitting at the table, writing.

As the last word fell, the servant got up and shook the letter paper, and carefully brought it to Mrs. Shen San for her to see.

Third Lady Shen then glanced at it casually.

"Madam, you said that you want the young lady of your uncle's family to discuss marriage with Da Yousheng, this, Da Yousheng is a merchant, I'm afraid that my old lady is not very happy, right? No mistakes," the servant woman asked cautiously.

Mrs. Shen San casually threw the letter to her, "You don't understand this, this person is willing or unhappy in the world, it depends on the conditions given by the other party, I think my condition, my sister-in-law should be very satisfied....."

The servant woman remembered the vaguely mentioned in the letter about asking for a decree for the old lady, and couldn't help wiping her sweat.

As the daughter-in-law of the Fuyuan family, although the relationship is far away, at least she can talk to the Fuyuan Gong, and her son is very likely to become the next Fuyuan Gong in the future.

Just for a cheap maid who once slapped her face, she made such a big investment, this Third Mrs. Shen is really a bit of a magic barrier.

"In case, the son of the great life is stronger than the cheap maid ....." The servant woman dutifully reminded.

Mrs. Shen San laughed, "Love is stronger than Jin? ”

She seemed to hear what a funny joke, and tears of laughter were about to fall.

"People go to high places, water flows to low places, this is the norm of heaven and earth, how can you think that people choose better and say that people are ruthless?" Mrs. Shen San laughed, replaced it with a kind and kind smile, and said to the servant.

This kind of laughter made the servant woman shudder, and she hurriedly bowed down and laughed again and again, "Little Lu Lu, how do you know this, just listen to the lyrics of the play so ....."

Third Lady Shen snorted and did not speak.

"However, what you said is right, it's not that the cheap maid is a big pharmacist, and everyone in those pharmacists compliments her, so it is very possible to say that the big girl is more affectionate to her than Jin Jian, this merchant is not short of money, but they lack power, don't look at their bright clothes, people look like people before and after, but it is a tree without roots, the higher it grows, the easier it is to fall, so they need a pole, even if it is a small pole, it is extremely rare for them, but our Great Zhou Dynasty has a clear boundary between agriculture and industry, It is very difficult for these generations of merchants to marry a real lady of the world, and those young ladies of the family are poor in the family who can't open the pot, and they will never give up their identity to marry," Mrs. Shen San fiddled with her fingernails and smiled, "Although the seventh uncle is just a person, he is not a scholar who has been raised by generations of poverty, first, our Zhao family is also a wealthy family, and second, there is not the Shen family on my side, how many people are waiting for such a good thing, it can be their turn to have a great life, but I should really thank that cheap maid." ”

The servant woman nodded yes hurriedly, folded the letter and sealed it, and suddenly paused again, thinking of something urgent.

"If...," she muttered as she looked up.

Mrs. Shen San frowned slightly, and there was already some impatience on her face, after enduring it for so many years, she finally got her wish, she got her wish, then those who had made her unable to get her wish should pay the price.

The little beast finally had a crippled leg, and the old guy also became a waste who did not die or only knew how to eat and sleep, and with the help of this little beast, his son finally got a chance in front of Fuyuan Gong and left a good impression, as long as her son became the heir of Fuyuan Gong, then in the future, her mother would be able to raise her eyebrows in front of those uncles of the Zhao family, let them bow their heads in front of them, and they could get rid of the Zhao family who pressed themselves before their lives and pressed them after death.

Shen Anlin is crippled, a waste, and will die soon....

"Don't want to be with that old guy in this life, when your son dies, I will crush your mother and son to ashes, I will finally overpower you in this life, and you will never want to turn over again in the next life" Mrs. Shen San clasped her hands, and a smile of joy and hatred appeared on her face.

The servant swallowed back what she was about to say with her laughter, and she picked up the letter and bowed out, closing the door with a sigh of relief.

"What if that doesn't have a relationship with that great son?" She still whispered her doubts, "Isn't that chasing a whirlwind in the field and being busy in vain?" Or is there anyone else who has affection for her? You can't all get in the way, can you? There are not many mistakes, and there are not so many daughters to marry....."

She shook her head, however, with the mentality of Mrs. Shen San now, she is afraid of killing a hundred by mistake and refuses to let go of one, anyway, Mrs. Shen San herself has no loss, so she should be idle and have nothing to play, only this cheap maid prays to God to bless Mrs. Shen San to let her go as soon as possible, this little girl is too, provoke her well, children are children, they don't know how to advance or retreat, don't let go of such a good thing as marrying into the Shen family, it's really a good life but asking for trouble.

The night finally engulfed the light in the house of Mrs. Shen San, and after a short period of darkness, the east began to turn white, and a fast horse galloped over, and immediately the people shouted an urgent report to break through the duty room of the yamen of the ministry, and at the same time, the morning light kicked off the prelude to the day.

Two days later, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was the first time since her rebirth that Gu Bainiang had celebrated the festival by herself, although she was accompanied by Lingbao to talk and have fun, she was still a little stunned.

The people who were sent to give Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to Cao and Gu Hai and asked them when they left to come back did not come back, and there was no news to send them back.

Set up a table of good wine and good food, Gu Ba Niang gave all the rewards to the people to enjoy, she only sat down slightly, then wrapped in a cloak and sat in the garden to admire the moon, while blowing Xun to relieve her sorrows, she suddenly heard that someone came to report that Peng Yi's family was coming, she was busy dressing up and coming out to meet, the originally lonely living room was already laughing Xuanxuan, it was lively.

Not only Peng Yizhen's family came, but even Xin Chaoyang also came.

"Knowing that the young lady is not at home, I am afraid that the young lady will cry alone....." Peng Yizhen laughed.

"Look at your broken mouth, how can you talk to Miss....." Peng Yizhen's daughter-in-law glared at him, holding the baby in her arms and said angrily.

Peng Yizhen got another son, which can be described as a proud life, but his reputation is still very little.

"There are more people in the family now, although there is no need to eat now, but in the future, half of the children will eat and kill Lao Tzu, and the capital is expensive, I think it will not improve in another half a year, so I will return to my hometown, it is my own house, and there is some thin land, and the rent can be saved..... Peng Yizhen once revealed this idea to Gu Bainiang in private.

Everything has changed, Shen Anlin's leg is not disabled, and naturally there is no chance for Peng Yizhi to become famous, it was he who swore to tell Peng Yizhen to come to the capital to become a miracle doctor, but it was he who changed this fate.

I'm afraid that this is the last time they will sit down to eat together, Gu Bainiang's heart is a little sour, Peng Yi is for her, although at the beginning of the acquaintance, everyone has their own thoughts and wants to find their own uses, but all the way to the present, it is not a relative but a relative.

"Really crying?" Xin Chaoyang asked in a low voice.

"Do you think I will?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Gu Bainiang glanced at him, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she was very surprised by his arrival, "Why didn't you go back to Jiankang?" ”

Xin Chaoyang touched his nose, but did not speak.

"Huh?" Gu Bainiang looked at him with some puzzlement, and said with a smile, "Money can't be earned, the eldest young master doesn't look like a person who doesn't know this truth?" ”

"I think you won't believe what I say, so I just don't say it." Xin Chaoyang smiled and turned his head to look at her.

Under the bright lotus leaf lamp, his eyes shone like stars.

Gu Bainiang was almost about to blurt out a question, but after suddenly meeting his eyes, the words stopped abruptly.

The laughter of Peng Yizhen's family around him, as well as the sound of the maids brought by Xin Chaoyang, seemed to have disappeared.

"Come, come, let's have a drink together, being a stranger in a foreign land, and the same is the end of the world....." Peng Yizhen held the wine glass and dragged the text.

made everyone laugh, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and when they put down the wine glass, Gu Bainiang and Xin Chaoyang glanced at each other, and then they both smiled.

"I believe it." She picked up her wine glass again, raised it to the rising sun, and said suddenly.

Xin Chaoyang raised his eyes to look at her, the smile also spread out in his eyes, he raised the wine glass and touched Gu Bainiang's wine glass lightly, in the cheerful piano flute next to him, the crisp sound clearly fell on the hearts of the two.

Early in the morning, when Gu Bainiang woke up, she still had some residual headaches, she drank two more glasses of wine last night, she rubbed her forehead and got up, and just after washing, she heard a burst of anxious footsteps outside the door.

"Miss..."Lingbao pushed the door open violently, his face turned pale, "There is a plague in the state capital to which Nanzhang belongs."

Gu Bainiang's face suddenly turned pale.

"Where's the news?" She asked, shaking her hands.

"The government, the news of the government, my brother sent it to someone, my brother has already gone to Nanzhang, saying that he will bring the lady and the young master back no matter what... Miss... Miss..."Lingbao said hurriedly, seeing that Gu Eighteen Niang was unstable on her feet, she rushed over and helped her sit down on the chair.

After being busy, Gu Bainiang stepped down and said that she wanted to be quiet.

Lingbao repeatedly asked her to be relieved, "Madame, young master, auspicious people, and an official of the imperial court, must be fine..."

No, they won't be auspicious... Gu Banniang stroked her head and waved her hand to signal Lingbao to step back as well, her mind was buzzing and she needed to be quiet.

The room was finally silent, and Gu Bainiang only heard her own deep exhalation.

Plague... The word plague was the one she was most afraid of hearing, wasn't it all over? Haven't all changed? How can there still be a plague? Why is there still a devil like the plague next to my brother?

Her body trembled violently, and she shook off the corner of the table to clasp a book, and the book fell to the ground, and a small strip of paper floated out.

Gu Bainiang recognized that this was the sign that Lingbao asked her for in the Peach Blossom Temple.

Her hands trembled slightly, and she finally slowly reached out and picked it up, trembling, and used all her strength to slowly open the note.

"If you don't move, if you don't move, if you move, it's empty, you come, it's like a dream."
