Chapter 169: Transformation
When Zhou Ruijing came back in the evening, it was already the hour when he was about to fall asleep.
Looking at his tired face, Gu Wanyin felt a faint pain in her heart. When he changed his clothes, he couldn't help complaining: "Is there no other person in the court?" Won't they take it? Why do you let the prince do everything? ”
Zhou Ruijing looked down at her slightly pursed pink lips and the complaint on her face, her mood was actually happy, and the fatigue on her body also dissipated a lot. The corners of his lips curled slightly, and he smiled: "It is precisely because I took the money that I should do it better." ”
"The prince is too solid-eyed." Gu Wanyin bit her lip and glanced up at him, her watery eyes with a hint of complaint: "These things are not done by the prince alone, when it is time to shirk, what if he shirks?" ”
Zhou Ruijing knew that she was just talking, and immediately smiled and said, "I'm hungry." ”
As soon as Gu Wanyin heard this, she didn't care about complaining anymore, and hurriedly went to tell the girls to bring the prepared meals. Unconsciously Zhou Ruijing talked about this, but it was just to divert the topic.
Zhou Ruijing looked at Zhang Luo, who was busy with her, and her heart softened, and there was some softness in her deep eyes. Even his face, which looked too cold and hard under the light, loosened a lot.
"Shizi Ye tastes." After the meal was arranged, Gu Wanyin pushed the kimchi in front of Zhou Ruijing. There was a hint of apprehension and anticipation in his clear eyes: "This is the kimchi I talked about with the prince last time." I also gave the old lady a taste today, and the old lady liked it very much and used it a lot. At dinner, it was almost the same as ever. My spirit is also much better, and I have been talking to the third aunt and the second aunt for a long time. ”
"Oh?" Zhou Ruijing tasted it, the sour taste was indeed very appetizing, and the rice was even more suitable. I heard her say that the old lady was much better. At that moment, the center of her eyebrows stretched a lot, and her gaze became softer and softer. Listen to her talk about the trivial things at home. I feel a little warm.
After eating, the two of them just freshened up and lay on the bed, although they couldn't sleep for a while, but it was also very comfortable to read on the bed with the lamp crooked.
It's just that the weather is hot and humid, and it's hard to calm down. Gu Wanyin finally couldn't help but put down the book, looked at Zhou Ruijing and tilted his head and asked him: "Lord Shizi, you said, after the holy sacrifice to the sky, will it rain?" ”
Zhou Ruijing also put the book aside when he heard this: "I can't say." However, if it doesn't rain again, I'm afraid that many places will be in trouble. ”
Gu Wanyin nodded thoughtfully. There has been no rain for a long time. The grains and vegetables in the field naturally cannot grow, even in her few villages, although there is a water source, but it is also affected. Listen to the Wang family. Many farms without living springs. After the drought in the river, the crops in the fields have died of drought. Unexpectedly, this year's harvest will be reduced by several percent.
It's okay for people like them; After all, I don't really expect the grain produced by Zhuangzi to eat and live, and there are more or less other industries, so it won't be affected too much. Even if it is food, there are also hoarded in previous years, and they have enough to eat. It's just ordinary farmers......
Thinking of this, she couldn't help sighing: "But it's better not to cause a drought." ”
"It's just that even if it rains in time now, I'm afraid that this year's harvest will be reduced." Zhou Ruijing's eyes were a little deep. There was also concern in his tone: "If there is a real drought, if there is no disaster relief in time." Maybe there's more**. "This has happened in previous years. It's just that there are many kinds, and some people who can't get by will leave their homes, large-scale displaced people, maybe there will be looting for food, and then it will already be a rebellion. In others, due to the lack of water, people and animals may also break out of various diseases and plagues.
"Hey." Gu Wanyin sighed, "I just hope that God will open his eyes." ”
For a while, the two had nothing else to say. After a while, they went to sleep and did not mention it.
The old lady finally got better day by day, which made Gu Wanyin and the others breathe a sigh of relief. And after this time, the old lady was much more tolerant of her.
Because the old lady is well, Gu Wanyin just wants to go back to her home to have a look. Especially about the matter of renewing Gu Changfei's strings, you should also ask the Li family how he is doing. Early in the morning, while the weather was still cool, she hurried out.
When she arrived at Gu's house, before the Li family came, Gu Wanyin went to the old lady's courtyard first.
After the old lady fell ill last time, she has been lingering on the sickbed for so long, and it seems that the successive blows have finally hurt the roots.
Seeing that the old lady no longer had the energetic appearance of the past, Gu Wanyin couldn't help but feel sad again. It's just that in front of the old lady, she can only force a smile and say: "Grandmother looks much better, it can be seen that taking medicine is also effective." ”
"It's just a matter of earning your life." The old lady was very clear about her body, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I don't know if I can survive until Cong Rui comes back?" If I can see him marry and have children, I will have no regrets. ”
"My brother wrote to him that he had reached the border and that everything was fine, and that my grandmother didn't have to worry so much." Gu Wanyin quietly turned her back and pressed away the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes, and comforted the old lady softly. "The prince has taken care of everything. There won't be any problems left and right. As long as the grandmother takes care of it, she can always see her brother marrying a wife and having children, even Cong Qi, waiting for her grandmother to officiate at the wedding. ”
The old lady seemed to imagine the situation she described, and she couldn't help laughing at the moment, and her expression softened a lot.
Afraid that the old lady would think of Zhou Ruijing's sadness, Gu Wanyin diverted the topic and talked about the Zhou family: "I wanted to come back and see it a long time ago." However, the old lady suffered from heat stroke, and she lay down for many days, and she was not separated from anyone, and she gradually got better in the past few days. I didn't dare to come back and see. Grandmother, you should also pay more attention. It's just that I can't be there for you...... In the end, I was not filial, and my grandmother hurt me like that. ”
The old lady laughed: "Now that you are married, you don't have to worry about family affairs." It is serious to serve the old lady of the Zhou family well. There are your father, your younger brother, and the Qi family, your uncle and three uncles, and I still lack someone to serve me? You have sent people back to visit you from time to time, and you have sent so many things, if you are still unfilial, how many filial people can there be in the world? ”
Gu Wanyin burst into tears and laughed, "It's good that grandmother isn't angry with me." ”
Then she picked some trivial things to relieve the old lady's boredom, but it also made the old lady say a lot of things.
Not long after, Qi and Gu Congqi, Gu Conglin and others all came over, and Li also arrived; The room is gradually becoming lively.
Gu Wanyin couldn't help but pull Gu Congqi to look at her for a while.
I haven't seen him for a while, and Gu Congqi is very different from the past. Not only is it a lot calmer, but the childishness on his face has faded a lot, and most importantly, he has grown a lot taller. It's just that I'm tall but I don't see any flesh, and I look a little thin. She couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "Why don't you eat more?" I lost a lot of weight. ”
Gu Congqi should have been in the past and didn't look like he was in shape, and smiled slightly: "It looks thin, but it's actually tightened." I've recently learned boxing with the nursing home. ”
"It's good to exercise, but don't tire yourself out." Gu Wanyin was afraid that he would hurt herself, so she couldn't help but ask.
"I save it, sister, don't worry." Gu Congqi tugged at her shirt, and suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Sister, can you find a master for me?" My grandmother was worried that I would hurt myself and was reluctant to ask me to ask a master to teach me martial arts. It's just that I thought that in the future, if I want to call a character like my brother-in-law, I must not only be brilliant, but also martial arts. ”
Looking at Gu Congqi's dark and bright eyes, flashing with anticipation, Gu Wanyin was a little funny: "Who told you that your brother-in-law's martial arts are brilliant?" ”
"It's a legend out there." Gu Congqi blinked his eyes and said seriously.
"Nonsense." Gu Wanyin shook her head with tears and laughter: "The writing is brilliant, and the martial arts are also world-famous." Where did such people come from? Where can you believe the rumors outside? It's good for you to practice martial arts, and you can always keep fit. It's just that don't fall behind in your homework, and it's never wrong to read wisely. If you don't study, how can you be reasonable? If there is only force, it is just the courage of a horseman. Do you remember? ”
Gu Congqi nodded thoughtfully. After thinking about it, he asked, "Then why is my brother-in-law so powerful-"
Gu Wanyin couldn't answer, and when she saw that he was looking forward to it, she smiled; "Since you want to know, why don't you ask your brother-in-law another day when he's free?"
As expected, Gu Congqi suddenly shrank up, a little afraid: "Forget it, my brother-in-law is so busy, my sister just ask for me." With that, he ran away in a puff of smoke.
Gu Wanyin smiled and shook her head. Although he has matured a lot, he is still a child, and he is still a little childish.
Qi has lost a lot of weight during this time, and her description has become more and more thin and petite, and her expression and posture with her only make people feel weak and pitiful.
Gu Wanyin looked at her with a smile: "Why has Aunt Qi lost so much weight recently?" Grandmother is counting on you to take care of her, but if you don't take good care of it, what if you get sick? ”
Qi smiled humbly: "Thank you for your concern." It's fine. ”
"Hey, if my father had remarried in the first place, he wouldn't have made Aunt Qi so tired." Gu Wanyin sighed, and when she saw Qi's face change, she smiled even more: "I brought back a lot of supplements, Aunt Qi will take some back in a while, and it's good to eat and make up when you have nothing to do." ”
"Concubine Xie Shi's love." Qi's smile was a little pale, and his face was even stiffer. Some time ago, she got the news that the Li family deliberately leaked the news, saying that she might have to give Gu Changfei a concubine, and she knew that her good life was coming to an end. What kind of person is Gu Changfei? Qi is the clearest. came a more charming and younger person, but I am afraid that in less than three days, Gu Changfei will completely forget about the others.
