Chapter 616: Loyalty
"Zhou Ruijing." Gu Wanyin raised her head, her clear eyes were like the warm sun in winter, shining into Zhou Ruijing's eyes, and her voice was even clearer and softer like a gurgling spring water, which was particularly pleasant to listen to, making people happy: "I said, I am your wife." ”
Since it's fuqi, how can you say such an outward word? Although this sentence has never been spoken, she believes that Zhou Ruijing must be able to understand.
Zhou Ruijing was almost stunned for a while, but he clearly felt like a little person in his heart was so happy that he almost rolled over. In the end, a thousand words dissipated on his lips, and not a single word could be spoken. Maybe at this time, it's superfluous to say anything, right? So, there's no need to speak.
Gently clenched Gu Wanyin's hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled, which was not worth a thousand words.
Several girls were taken aback by the news that they were going back to Beijing, especially Suqin: "Why are you going back at this time?" "After all, this is the New Year just now, and besides, Gu Wanyin and Zhou Ruijing went back together. The princess and the sunset stayed here. How can you not be surprised?
Gu Wanyin quietly glanced at a few girls who had been following her to serve, including big girls like Danzhi and Bimei Suqin, who had heads and faces, and some second- and third-class girls. Seeing that several girls were stopped, she said slowly: "Now that something has happened in Beijing, I and the prince must rush back." I only have one thing I want to tell you - you have also been with me for so long, and you must know the situation between me and the prince. Now I won't hide it from you, I'm only afraid of going back to Beijing this time...... It's not that easy. You've been serving me for so long, and I don't want you to risk me. Now you can choose for yourself, you can stay or follow me back to Beijing. No matter what, I won't say a word, let alone be unhappy. ”
Gu Wanyin's gaze slid over the young and delicate faces of these girls one by one, and she sighed slightly in her heart. I don't know if the last of these people will stay and which ones will leave?
Danzhi Bimei didn't speak; However, Su Qin impatiently expressed her heart: "Hengzhu, I want to follow the princess all the time." That determined and eager look made Gu Wanyin couldn't help but smile slightly. In the past, I only thought that although Suqin was a usable, it was a little frizzy, but now it seems that it ...... But it can be entrusted with great tasks. By this faithfulness is stronger than anything else.
As soon as Suqin's words fell, Danzhi Bimei also looked at each other and smiled, and then they all said in unison: "I am naturally the same as Suqin." ”
The next few girls all expressed their intentions. They were all willing to follow, but Helu was the only one who stepped forward. Whispered, "I want to stay." ”
For a while, several girls were a little stunned, and looked at Helu a little annoyed. There is even more Su Qin's willow eyebrows: "You and I are both married, why are you so spineless?" Horizontal and vertical is just a life, and it is worth it? It's also a shame that the princess of the world values you so much! ”
This is also a bit heavy. Danzhi hurriedly pulled Su Qin to make peace: "Okay, okay, everyone has their own thoughts." It's just that the tone is a little cold, and I'm afraid that I still can't look down on Helu in my heart.
He Lu bent her knees and ignored the eyes of the other girls, and only knelt straight down towards Gu Wanyin: "It's not that the slave maid is unwilling to follow the princess. It's just that the sisters have all left with the princess, but there can't be no one around our eldest lady. The slave maid Su Ri is in charge of this, and the princesses are very relieved to have their sisters around to take care of the slaves and maids. Therefore, the slave maid had the courage to beg the princess to allow the slave and maid to stay and take care of the eldest lady. ”
Gu Wanyin looked at Helu quietly, and her eyes gradually became a little wet. Helu is younger than everyone else, but she has always been a steady and calm person, but she looks a little calmer than Suqin. Now...... Helu said this. It shows that Helu has understood her intention to leave the princess and daughter here.
Sighing softly, looking at Helu still with a somewhat green face, Gu Wanyin stretched out her hand, personally helped her up, and said solemnly: "Then I will entrust the sunset to you." ”
Helu bit her lower lip, and her voice was as quiet as a pool of water, although it sounded soft. But there is a tenacity in it: "The princess just rest assured." Sister Suqin is willing to give up her life for the princess, and I can also give up my life for our eldest lady. That posture is clearly the posture of "the eldest lady is here, I am here, the eldest lady is not here, I am not there".
Gu Wanyin nodded, only to feel like her throat was choked. After thinking about it, he whispered: "If you can survive this calamity, I will eliminate all of you from slavery." Allow you to marry freely, and give you a dowry. ”
A few girls are naturally all moved. Being a slave and maid naturally knows the hardships of being a slave and maid, who doesn't want to be free? After getting Gu Wanyin's promise, I am afraid that I was still wavering in my heart, but I am also firm. As the saying goes, there is still a way to live. Who wouldn't want to be free? You can get free everywhere, but once you become a slave, you can't live or die.
Naturally, when Gu Wanyin said such words, she also had such a strong meaning. Loyalty is one thing, but there are benefits to be gained from loyalty, and that is the best of both worlds.
Gu Wanyin didn't say anything more, and only asked He Lu to call the nurse over. Then he took everyone else out.
The nurse saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and before Gu Wanyin could say anything, she was a little timid. Seeing such a scene, Gu Wanyin naturally sighed in her heart - this nurse is honest and loyal, and she is also considerate of Xiao Qixia. It's just that the only deficiency is that I am really a little timid and a little short-sighted.
After thinking about it for a while, when Gu Wanyin spoke, she naturally said a little tactfully: "Nurse, in addition to our family, you are also the closest to Xizhao;." Now I don't want to hide it from you, do you know that the prince and I are going back to Beijing? But I don't want to take Xizhao back, and I plan to leave her on the Zhuangzi. So ask you what you mean, and see if you want to stay, or will I hire another nurse and give you a sum of money to send you back to your house? ”
The nurse seemed to be stunned when she heard it, but she didn't come back to her senses for a long time: "I don't understand what the princess said. Why don't you take the eldest lady back to the capital? Although it is good here, but in the end, it is the ...... who wronged the eldest lady" In the days of Zhennan Wangfu, I touched my conscience and said, compared to being in Zhuangzi, it is really a heaven and an underground. Although Zhuangzi is not bad, it is not as expensive as the gold in the Zhennan Palace. The nurse felt from the bottom of her heart that she had wronged Xiao Qixia by staying like this in Zhuangzi all the time.
Gu Wanyin smiled slightly, but her smile looked somewhat bitter. Not only the smile, but also the voice, but also a little five: "If I can't bring her back, why should I leave her here?" ”
The nurse looked at Gu Wanyin speechless. Apparently not understood. However, there may be some ominous taste in my heart, and the look on my face is becoming more and more frightened.
Gu Wanyin was not a little impatient, although it was not good to break everything up and say it carefully, but for the general reason, there was no concealment: "You also saw the monstrous wealth of our Zhennan Palace." But what you don't understand is that the more top-notch we are, the easier it is for people to worry about us and make people want to uproot us. Today's saint is not in good health, but he has not yet decided on a prince...... The situation is chaotic. Our Zhennan Wangfu is also involved, and this time I went, and I couldn't come back if I couldn't say it. ”
When the nurse heard this, her face turned almost white with fright. However, the nurse was not too confused, and nodded immediately: "I understand what the princess means." In other words, it is similar to some situations in our village. An old man is dying, he has several sons, and some family property. But now he is sick and confused, so he can't distribute these family properties fairly, and his sons want to keep them alone or want to take more. So several brothers fought, and some relatives and neighbors were also involved. Isn't that the truth? ”
Gu Wanyin listened to her analogy and almost didn't laugh out loud. Although this metaphor is a bit crude, it is really apt. Isn't that what it means? nodded again and again, but added another sentence: "The meaning is similar, but now the situation is much more dangerous than you said." If you're not careful, it's a matter of life. ”
After saying this, she looked at the nurse seriously: "You also understand the current situation, do you want to stay, or ...... You don't have to be afraid, just say whatever you want, I naturally don't care. ”
The nurse thought about it seriously. lowered his head and rearranged what Gu Wanyin said before and after today.
Gu Wanyin didn't urge, she quietly drank tea and waited, this is a matter of her life, and it is reasonable for the nurse to be solemn.
In the end, the nurse slowly knelt down towards Gu Wanyin, with a hint of awe: "I'll stay." I don't have a home anymore, and it's my blessing to be able to serve the eldest lady. ”
Gu Wanyin nodded, and it was false to say in her heart that she was not happy. Although she can find another nurse to replace this at any time, she doesn't dare to guarantee that others can treat Xiao Qixia wholeheartedly, right? Now that the nurse is willing to stay, it is naturally a good thing.
However, since you want to stay, there are some things that you can't help but explain. At that moment, Gu Wanyin beckoned the nurse and Helu to get closer, and said in a low voice: "Since you are all willing to protect the sunset, I won't say anything about it." There are only a few things to take care of you. ”;
