"I told you before, it's not too late for me to tell you now, it's not early, let's go back early after eating, otherwise it will be unfortunate if we delay the time to catch up with the curfew."

After Gu Jingcheng finished speaking, he even pulled Zhou Lin and wanted to send him out directly.

Su Xiaomu was made to laugh and cry by the appearance of the two of them, but he didn't stop Gu Jingcheng from unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

The posture of the couple crossing the river and demolishing the bridge made Zhou Lin hate itchy, but he was helpless against them, so he could only be sent out by Gu Jingcheng.

Zhou Lin left, and Gu Jingcheng sat back in his place and continued to eat.

At the moment, he is completely salty and indifferent, and he does not have the slightest "ferocity" that drove people away just now.

"Unloading the mill and killing the donkey, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, I never knew that Gu Gongzi had such a ability, and his face was not red and his heart was not beating, it seemed that he was driven by you...... Not your friends in general. ”

Su Xiaomu looked at him eating with a smile: "After Zhou Lin goes back, I'm afraid I will scold you for a long time." ”

"It's rare to be able to eat the food you cooked, so it's a rare opportunity."

Gu Jingcheng ate very seriously, he didn't raise his head and didn't look at Su Xiaomu: "There is something I haven't told you yet, the waterwheel...... When I went back at that time, I wrote an article and handed it to the Master, which explained in great detail the problem of the manufacture of the waterwheel, and the Master did not hesitate to praise you and said many words of praise. ”

Probably because it was difficult to make people feel happy, Gu Jingcheng put down the bowl and wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief before he continued: "Master said that the article is very well written, and your ideas are good, but it is not suitable to tell the names of the two of us to the people." ”

"What do you mean......" Su Xiaomu seemed to understand the meaning of his words, "Master's idea is to let us introduce the method of making waterwheels to the people in an anonymous way?" ”

This is not impossible, originally Su Xiaomu's idea of making this waterwheel was just to improve the water problem in this part of the farm.

She thinks that she is not as noble as Gu Jingcheng, and she can think of the livelihood issues of the people in the whole country from a small matter.

So she didn't think much about it, and agreed with her master's decision: "Anonymous or not, it will save a lot of unnecessary trouble." ”

"This is also the intention of the master, to submit the article to the government in an anonymous way, and then the government will register the article and circulate it, although we can't profit from the people's voice, but we can make friends with the government, which will help you a lot in doing business in the future."

Didn't Gu Jingcheng seriously think about the possibility of this matter?

He is already Xie Yuan, although he has recently become famous in Fucheng and is respected by many scholars, but in the end, he is from a humble background, and he can't help Su Xiaomu in many things, and occasionally he has to succumb to power, and he is not even enough to protect himself.

Gu Jingcheng knew very well that having too high a reputation was not a good thing for either of them until they had enough status.

In the land of one house, two people without any background have a higher reputation among the people than the government and the Confucian family, which will only bring disaster to them.

And Su Xiaomu, how could he not understand this truth?

She knew that the choice Gu Jingcheng made was the most beneficial choice for them at this stage, so she directly asked him to watch it.

"I believe in you, you can do what you want."

It's just a waterwheel, anyway, her brain still has a lot of whimsical ideas, and if she wants to use such objects to invite credit, she can only say that she has a lot.

Ending a topic, Su Xiaomu saw that this meal was almost finished, she poured a glass of wine for Gu Jingcheng, and thought of Miss Zhao Er, whom Luo Yi mentioned to her when she was soaking in the hot spring, and suddenly had the idea of gossiping.

"That Miss Zhao Er in the east of the city......"

Su Xiaomu looked at him with malicious eyes: "I heard that people show their love to you in public, saying that even if you have a family, you must be with you, I also heard that Miss Zhao Er is a beauty, and people are so fond of you, are you not moved at all?" ”

Miss Zhao Er, Miss Zhao......

Could it be that this Gu Jingcheng has a lot to do with the girl surnamed Zhao?

"How could I possibly be tempted by her? That Zhao Er girl is not the person I like, although I have met her a few times, but so far I still don't remember what she looks like, Xiaomu, don't say what you say to the person you meet unexpectedly, as far as I am concerned, I only have you in my heart, and I definitely won't like someone else! ”

Gu Jingcheng really didn't expect that she would suddenly turn the topic to Miss Zhao Er, and he hurriedly explained this matter clearly.

"I have already told my master, if it doesn't matter if the poetry meeting in the future doesn't matter, let him take Zhou Lin to participate, I only concentrate on reading alone, except for you, I don't think much about the rest of the people and things."

"Flutter!"

Su Xiaomu looked at him with an eager explanation, and couldn't help laughing.

A bright smile like a flower bloomed on her face at this moment, this smile quickly rippled on her cheeks, Gu Jingcheng was attracted by her smile, when her smile reached the tip of her eyebrows, the smile gradually became thicker, the corners of her mouth also rose slightly, and the dimples looming at the corners of her lips seemed to be as sweet as honey.

Su Xiaomu didn't notice that Gu Jingcheng's gaze had been staring at her face, and she was looking at him more and more confused as she drank glass after glass of wine.

"I don't believe it...... They all say that men's mouths, deceitful ghosts, you must be facing me now to say these sweet words. ”

"Gu Jingcheng! I'm telling you, I'm not a fool, I can understand you! ”

The fruit wine was so delicious, it was the best wine she had ever drunk in this era.

And don't you say it...... I'm still a little dizzy after drinking it.

She couldn't help but burp after speaking, Gu Jingcheng looked at her dizzy, and originally wanted to defend her reputation at first.

But seeing that she was getting less and less conscious, he reluctantly took the wine glass from her hand, and then picked her up into the house and went to bed.

Su Xiaomu was probably really drunk, she squinted her eyes groggily and hugged Gu Jingcheng's neck, hugged him and leaned her head on his neck, and blew on his neck in small gulps: "Gu Jingcheng...... I'm so dizzy......"

"Get some sleep, you won't get dizzy when you wake up."

He held back the moment when his body stiffened, put her gently on the bed, and then dropped a kiss on her forehead, and his voice was gentle enough to soak out of the water: "Have a good rest." ”

"Don't worry, I only have you in my heart, and after I have you, I can't tolerate others in my eyes."

When Gu Jingcheng said this, he whispered in Su Xiaomu's ear.

And Su Xiaomu was already drunk, and he didn't realize it at all.

She muttered and hugged her pillow and fell into a deep sleep.
