Chapter 68: Master's Mother
Following.
Broken golden sunlight shone through the faint mist on the streets of Chang'an City.
Shen Zuihuan was pulled into the carriage by Gu Changce early in the morning.
The rich and beautiful golden silk nanmu carriage slowly drove through the streets of Chang'an City and came to a hidden deep alley.
Before he entered the alley, Shen Zuihuan smelled a medicinal fragrance wafting out of the deep alley.
She frowned, turned her head and asked the man holding the scroll beside her, "Gu Jing'an, where are you going to take me?" ”
The corners of his lips curled slightly, and he said, "You'll know when you get there." ”
The carriage did not pause, and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous courtyard.
He took her by the hand and got out of the carriage.
The footsteps stopped in front of the courtyard door and gently knocked on the courtyard door twice.
A childish voice came from inside: "It's coming!"
When I was drunk and surprised.
The courtyard door was opened.
A boy in an indigo shirt greeted him, although he was still young, he looked only a few years older than Gu Tang.
But the long ones are really clear and beautiful.
It's just like Gu Changce, who looks like he likes to keep a face.
Shen Zuihuan was out of his trance, but suddenly heard the boy shouting at Gu Changce: "Master Gu." ”
Shen Zuihuan: ???
Gu Changce bowed his head.
The next moment, he introduced the woman beside him who had not yet reacted to the boy and said, "This is your master." ”
The boy nodded, and called out crisply, "Master." ”
Shen Zuihuan suddenly became at a loss, and smiled at the boy quite embarrassed.
Gu Changce asked him again, "Qin Yu, where is your aunt?" ”
The boy replied, "Auntie and Master Liu are drying herbs in the courtyard."
He said, "Master, you can take your wife to have a sip of tea and rest, and I'll go and call my aunt." ”
He raised his hand to stop him and said, "No, let's talk about it when your aunt is done." ”
He hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
He turned around and led the two of them through a path towards the depths of the courtyard.
Shen Zuihuan took advantage of the walking effort to raise his eyes and look into the courtyard.
I saw a few sparse loquat and orange trees planted in the courtyard.
It's the time when the fruit trees bear fruit, so the yard looks green and yellow.
Tranquil.
Qin Yu has been bringing the two of them to the eaves corridor.
The wooden floor of the eaves verandah is covered with a small mahogany carved table and three or two futons.
He poured a steaming cup of weak tea for each of them.
Tea leaves float and fall in white porcelain cups.
Qin Yu was busy greeting for a moment, bowing his head and thinking, always feeling that it was not the same thing not to call the elders.
So he went to the backyard to call people again.
Gu Changce couldn't stop him.
After Qin Yu's figure ran away.
Shen Zuihuan opened his mouth and asked, "Who is this kid, and why does he call you Master?" ”
He explained in detail: "Qin Yu's father was my former comrade-in-arms, but when there was a disaster in Yanmen before,.... Unfortunately, he died. ”
His slender fingers picked up the white porcelain cup and took a sip of tea.
sighed and said: "His family is full of loyal martyrs, and when the chaos in Yanmen Pass subsided, only his aunt and he were still alive in the family." ”
Qin Siqiong was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, with a nephew who had just been born.
Even if he gives them money.
It is also difficult for two people to hold on to the land of the border city.
Gu Changce remembered what his old comrades-in-arms had said, and gritted his teeth and took them to Shangjing City to settle down.
Later, Liu He often came to teach Qin Siqiong some simple medical skills.
She's a very smart girl.
After completing his studies, he rented a small store in Beijing to open a medical center.
Now it can be regarded as having the capital to settle down.
Hearing these words, Shen Zuihuan nodded thoughtfully.
Thinking of the child who was only eight or nine years old, I couldn't help but feel a little distressed about what happened to him.
Just thinking about it, the next moment, Qin Yu came over with his aunt Qin Siqiong and Liu Hehe.
The two of them were drying medicinal herbs in the backyard.
Therefore, the gray-blue dress he was wearing was a little gray.
Qin Siqiong's skin is not very white, it is a common wheat color for women in border cities.
But her facial features are good, and when she saw Gu Changce, her eyes lit up when she came from the courtyard.
"Brother Gu, why are you here?"
And Liu He next to him noticed Shen Zuihuan next to him first.
He greeted her with a smile and called, "Madam." ”
After saying this, Qin Siqiong also saw a woman wearing a light crimson dress with beautiful eyebrows.
She snapped back to her senses, a shy smile on her face.
He whispered to Shen Zuihuan: "Madam." ”
When she walked to Shen Zuihuan's side.
Shen Zuihuan looked at the delicate-looking woman in front of him, and for some reason, he suddenly felt his breath stop.
There was a pinprick-like pain in my heart.
...... How did she... Like where did you see her?
She tried her best to suppress the strange feeling in her heart, and forced a smile at Qin Siqiong.
Qin Siqiong is not a delicate girl.
I just think that Brother Gu is a good person, so her wife must also be a good person.
Unconsciously walked closer to Shen Zuihuan's side.
Shen Zuihuan keenly smelled the crisp and bitter smell of medicine on her body.
She asked softly, "Miss Qin, the medicinal herbs you just dried are Bupleurum?" ”
When Qin Siqiong heard this, she was slightly stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What we just dried is indeed Bupleurum and Kudzu. ”
After a pause, she asked again, "Madame still has research on medicinal materials?" ”
Shen Zuihuan showed a shy smile on his face: "My aunt was not in good health a few years ago, and she often drank medicine, and when I went to take care of her, I also remembered the names of some medicinal herbs. ”
Qin Siqiong said: "I see. ”
After saying this for a while, the relationship between the two became closer.
The two daughters' families have to speak considerately.
Gu Changce stood up and went to the backyard with Liu He.
Qin Yu was practicing with a wooden sword in his hand.
He tapped his finger.
Time flies in this small courtyard.
Not long after, the red black fell down.
It's twilight.
He and Liu He went to the front yard.
I saw that Shen Huanhuan and Qin Siqiong were still chatting hotly.
When Qin Siqiong opened a medical center in the past, she could talk to anyone.
Now that Shen Zuihuan was talking to her, his face was slightly reddened.
She wasn't usually so energetic when she talked to him.
Gu Changce couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
shouted from afar: "Shen Huanhuan." ”
She suddenly came back to her senses.
The green and yellow shadows of the trees beside the veranda swayed on her white face.
The people who watched were almost stunned.
Qin Siqiong saw that it was getting late, and immediately clapped her hands and stood up, and said to Gu Changce in front of her: "Brother Gu, I'm really sorry, I forgot the hour as soon as I chatted with my wife." ”
Gu Changce glanced at Shen Zuihuan, who was blushing and fluttering, and said, "It's okay." ”
After a pause, he said again: "Recently, there is a shortage of money or something." ”
Hearing this, Qin Siqiong hurriedly waved her hand and said, "There is no shortage, there is no lack of anything." ”
Her wheat-colored face was flushed with a less noticeable red.
Xin said that she had already troubled Brother Gu a lot before, and she was really embarrassed to trouble others again.
Unexpectedly, Gu Changce immediately said: "I will go to Yunzhong in a few days, and it may take several months to return." ”
He was afraid that he would be sorry for his old friend's instructions, so he repeatedly advised: "If you encounter any trouble in the past few months, you can let Qin Yu go to the general's mansion to find someone." ”
Song Yu and the others all knew her aunt and nephew.
Qin Siqiong nodded gratefully.
Several people chatted at the gate of the courtyard for a while.
Gu Changce and Shen Zuihuan got into the carriage.
The two sat side by side on the carriage couch.
The sound of a gurgling carriage rings in my ears.
Gu Changce was reading a book in his hand.
Suddenly, I heard Shen Zuihuan ask him softly, "Why did you think of bringing me here today?" ”
Hearing this, his fingers holding the scroll paused slightly, and his moist thin lips pursed slightly.
said lightly: "Qin Xiaoyu always wanted to see his wife before, but when I was free today, I brought you here." ”
Shen Zuihuan heard this and let out a low "oh".
It seems to believe this statement.
The corners of Gu Changce's lips hooked slightly.
