Red hearts boldly raised their eyes and looked at Gongxi Chu, "Gongxi Gongzi, I know that with my identity, I am not worthy of letting Sister Ronghua ...... at all"
Gong Xichu couldn't help but interrupt her angrily when he heard her words, "What do you call her?" "Who wants to call her sister?
"Huh." Red Hearts was stunned for a moment before smiling self-deprecatingly, "It should be called Mrs. Gongxi, the difference in kung fu is already so big in just one year, but don't worry, Childe, I have absolutely no ill will towards Mrs. ”
"If you don't have any malice, you shouldn't agree to her."
"But I don't want to die!" Red Hearts picked her lips and wanted to laugh, but she didn't want tears to drip down, "I don't have a home now, the man is dead, and I don't have the ability to eat, even if I give up my face to do this kind of thing, how long can I live?" I know that my past will discredit my wife, but I really want to live, please take my son with me! ”
As he spoke, the red heart knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to Gongxi Chu again and again.
Gong Xichu frowned, he wanted to intimidate the red heart to dispel his thoughts, but now it is a little difficult to ride a tiger, he would have known that he would let Mo An do this, but he was unwilling to let him agree to this matter, and when he was hesitating whether to do something secretly, he suddenly heard Hua Ronghua's voice shouting Niu Ya.
"I don't mind raising an idler, but if your existence threatens Madame, don't blame me for being unkind!" Gong Xichu got up and said to the red heart who was still kowtowing, forget it, if you don't take her away, the woman is afraid that she will always be thinking about it in her heart, and she should accumulate blessings for her two sons.
Until Gongxi Chu went out, Red Hearts was still kneeling on the ground in a daze, and he couldn't imagine that Gongxi Gongzi would really agree to take him away, everything was like a dream.
After a while, she heard the tall girl ring calling her outside the door.
"Madame told you to go!" Niu Ya looked at the disheveled red heart and said to her.
Red Hearts got dressed and followed Niu Ya to Hua Ronghua's room and found her lying on her side on the bed.
"You sit by yourself, I've been standing on the ground for a little long, and I'm tired and panicked." Hua Ronghua beckoned and said casually.
"Okay." Hearts smiled and sat on the low stool beside the bed, feeling like they were all upside down now.
After a pause, Hua Ronghua really didn't know how to speak for a while, although it was to save her, but she was going to be a slave, and she might not agree to it if she was herself. "That, hearts, I have something to ask you."
Red Hearts looked at her and couldn't help but smile and ask, "Did you mean to take me away?" ”
"Huh? You got it? Hua Ronghua's face was full of surprise, and he wanted to ask her.
"Gongxi Gongzi told me just now."
"What did he tell you? I thought ......" Hua Ronghua thought to himself, just now he still looked disgusted, how could he be ...... Could it be that he misunderstood, in fact, he is a warm-hearted and good person?
Red Peach looked at Hua Ronghua's entangled face and was funny, and what she thought in her heart was all on her face, "Actually, what Madame wants to do, Gongxi Gongzi is secretly helping you to do it, maybe I don't want Madame to worry too much about you." ”
Thinking about it carefully, it's really, not to mention inviting hearts to go with him this time, even if he saved Chunniang and Zhou Tielang in the past, it was thanks to Gongxi Chu's help, and he also took revenge on Widow Jiang and Chunniang's father-in-law, thinking about it, since he was with him, it seemed that he had relied on him for many places, but he couldn't do anything for him, and he was faintly uneasy for a while.
After the hearts left, as soon as Gongxi Chu entered the house, he saw that Hua Ronghua was a little embarrassed, and looked at him apologetically.
"What's wrong with you?" Gong Xichu was a little nervous, walked over to her quickly, helped her up and leaned against his arms, and carefully examined her and her stomach.
"Oh, don't get it, it's so itchy!" Hua Ronghua knocked off the man's hand that was touching everywhere on his body, and couldn't help laughing.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be injured like this, Gong Xichu relaxed slightly, and stared at her with curiosity, "What happened to you just now?" Why are you looking at me so much? ”
"Alas!" Hua Ronghua let out a long sigh, leaned his head into the man's arms, and said a little melancholy: "It's that I just found out that after being with you for so long, I don't seem to have done anything for you, but you have been helping me!" ”
After thinking about it for a while, Gong Xichu knew why this woman was so sad again, "Is it the heart that said to you?" ”
Hua Ronghua shook her head, "She only said that you asked her to follow us, and the rest is what I thought." You see, ever since we met, it seems like you've been helping me all along. She began to count her fingers and read the man's great deeds, and finally tugged at the corner of the man's clothes with some regret, "But I haven't done anything for you, do you think I'm too incompetent?" ”
What is this woman thinking? Although Gong Xichu thought so, he couldn't help but feel a little sweet in his heart, it didn't matter how much he did for her, anyway, those things were just a piece of cake for himself, and he should pass the time, maybe receiving Hua Ronghua's gratitude from the bottom of his heart was an unexpected joy, which made his mood soar.
Gong Xichu raised his hand and hugged the woman's waist, and said angrily: "What is the stupid woman thinking? You are my woman, who am I not helping you? And who says you're incompetent? You see, you are pregnant with my child, and this is the best thing you have done for me! ”
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Don't you think I'm a useless wife? I don't have a good background, I want you to help me take care of it, and I can't manage the inner house well, I can't think of rewarding my subordinates with red envelopes......" Hua Ronghua said and felt a little unable to raise his head.
"Don't think about it!" Gong Xichu raised the woman's chin, "My woman only needs me to say yes, as for other things, it doesn't matter, the master doesn't care about his background or anything, as for Zhuangzi and the inner house, there are housekeepers!" ”
Hua Ronghua raised his hand and tightly strangled Gong Xichu's body, buried his face in his arms, and said in a muffled voice: "Husband, you are so good!" ”
"Husband?"
"Xianggong, you are so good! I'll be nice to you, too, and I'll give you a token of love when I get to the capital! Hua Ronghua pondered in his heart, his original money was not much, but the last time the old lady gave him a New Year's gift, Gong Xichu gave him a lot of silver tickets, enough eight hundred taels, plus selling strawberries, the private money is really a lot, it should be enough to buy him a decent chic token!
Gongxi Chu smiled, "Okay! It's just that you are not allowed to send those things that make your grandfather 'fire' big, and now you can't do your best to help you put out the fire! ”
After a day of rest in Wanglai County, the next day, the whole convoy headed for the capital again.
At the beginning, Red Hearts still wanted to serve by Hua Ronghua's side, but she was always blocked by the nurse intentionally or unintentionally, and she was often coldly looked at by others, so she learned a lesson and no longer moved forward, but hid in the carriage behind all day long.
Hua Ronghua didn't think it was wrong, she and Red Hearts were friends, and she was really not used to letting her friends serve her suddenly, until Red Hearts no longer appeared in front of her, she quietly let out a sigh.
The convoy continued to move forward at oxen speed, and the capital was south of Wanglai County, and the further south it went, the hotter the weather became.
On this day, the convoy slowed down the trip because of Hua Ronghua's severe morning sickness, and seeing the sun set, he didn't even look at the edge of a village or town, and everyone was secretly anxious.
Gong Xichu looked at Hua Ronghua lying groggily in the carriage as if he was asleep, so he drove to the front of the convoy to find the steward and asked, "How long will it take to get to a populated place?" ”
Steward Gou wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the sky, and said to Gongxi Chu with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it will have to be after the sun sets, this section of the road is relatively long, and I can get to a small village before the sun sets at a normal speed, but now I ......."
"A small village?" Gong Xichu frowned.
"Yes." Steward Gou nodded, "The small village we passed by when we came, but that village is relatively barren, there are no twenty families in total, and most of them are old and weak, women and children, and the young people heard that they all moved away a few years ago to avoid the bandits in the nearby mountains. ”
"Bandits nearby?" Gong Xichu's heart became more and more worried.
"It's just that I heard from those villagers, the slaves didn't see half of the bandits along the way, and I heard that it was three or four years ago, and I haven't heard of anyone seeing it since the officers and soldiers came to suppress it." Steward Gou said with a smile.
"Be careful, then." Gongxi Chu turned back to Mo An and said, "Tell Mo Yan to follow his wife's carriage, and don't leave a single step!" I don't know if it's his delusion, but after listening to Gou Guan's words, my heart is even more uneasy, this feeling is the same as when he met the enemy on the battlefield.
Seeing this, Steward Gou hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, the third prince, even if there are really bandits, don't be afraid, these people brought by the slave are personally selected by the old lady, and they are all good at two times!" ”
Gong Xichu ignored his words and asked directly, "How many people did you bring who are good at kung fu?" ”
"Uh......" Seeing the master like this, Gou was inexplicably nervous, and asked carefully: "Third son, is it really ......?"
"What do you ask?"
Steward Gou struck a spirit, "That, the servant brought a total of two male servants over in the mansion, and the old lady sent ten more people to protect the third prince and drive the carriage." ”
"Let the valet and the servant come as far as you can, and call the ten men to me." Gongxi Chu paused, there were a total of seven carriages, and the two male servants plus Mo An and the cockroach were still not enough, so he said again: "Those who really can't spare their hands will pick the weaker ones to continue to drive the car, and the rest of the people will come over!" ”
“…… Be! "I don't know if the third prince really found something dangerous all of a sudden, and he was able to come over without a little reaction for a while, and only after being stared at again did he go to work in a hurry.
The atmosphere in the convoy suddenly became tense, and even the ladies noticed it.
The nurse pulled the curtain and stretched her neck to look ahead, only to see that the drivers who were originally driving the car were all walking forward, surrounding the third son, and I don't know what to say, "What's the matter?" If there is anything you can't say anywhere, it's getting dark! ”
"Did the master take them to hunt game again?" Niu Ya also came over, she still remembered that two days ago, Mrs. had a bad appetite, and the master personally caught a pheasant to roast it for Mrs. to eat, and she also rubbed a chicken butt at the beginning, and the taste was really delicious!
