MTL - Long Wind Crossing-Chapter 73
Zhang Huaili gave lectures in Yangzhou before he became famous. Gu Jiusi and Ye Shian were his students. When he heard the news of his death, especially in this way, Gu Jiusi felt a little guilty. . Even though there was no intuitive evidence, he couldn't help but say, "Is it Luo Zishang?"
Ye Shian shook his head: "It's hard to say."
Everyone fell silent, everyone considered the information, and after a while, Liu Yuru said: "Everyone, stop thinking about it, Brother Ye and Yuner are more important to recover, if you have anything, we will go back to Wangdu. Speak slowly."
"Yuru is right." Gu Jiusi heard this, and hurriedly said, "It's because I didn't think carefully, I sent Brother Ye."
Ye Yun was alone in another room, and Liu Yuru helped her into the room. She kept her body stiff, Liu Yuru noticed her movements and didn't speak. When she entered the room, Liu Yuru closed the door and made a bed for her, and told her to look after her just like when she was young.
They were like this in the past, Miss Ye Yun has a temperament, she doesn't pay attention to many things, and Liu Yuru takes care of her.
She always responded with a smile, but now she is standing beside Liu Yuru, calmly responding to Liu Yuru's words, looking very respectful. After Liu Yuru was talking, she stopped talking. Ye Yun looked up at her, and said blankly, "How's it going?"
Liu Yuru turned her back to her, and after a long time, she finally put up with all the words, and sighed: "It's nothing, I just think you have a lot less words."
"After all, it's not what it used to be." Ye Yun smiled and said bitterly, "The identity is different, and the person is different."
"You and I are always the same."
Liu Yuru replied, she raised her eyes to look at Ye Yun, and said seriously: "You will always be my friend."
Ye Yun was stunned for a while, and after a while, she bowed her head with a wry smile: "Yuru, I really never thought that you would tell me that."
Speaking, she sighed: "It's a good thing that you and Gu Jiusi are together."
"Why do you say that?"
Liu Yuru was a little puzzled, Ye Yun sat down and poured tea for herself, she looked out the window, and said peacefully: "We two played together when we were young, after your concubine entered the door, you My mind is heavy. In fact, I know it in my heart. You have requests from me and from the Ye family. You are a man of deep calculation and not frank enough. As for me, it is also because of a bad temper and no friends. When we hang out together, we each get what we need. It’s just that we have been friends for a long time, and we have a bit of sincerity. You saved me, I was already surprised, now you are the wife of the official family, and I, "Ye Yun smiled, raised her eyes and said, "It's been like this in my life. I'm really grateful that you are still willing to talk to me like this."
"When you marry him, you finally look like a child. I think that if a person can live his truest appearance, he should be living well."
"I...do live well."
Liu Yuru reluctantly answered, she raised her eyes to look at Ye Yun, she knew Ye Yun's heart knot, losing her body in Wang Shanquan was a hurdle in her heart that she could not overcome for the rest of her life. She wanted to persuade her, but couldn't say anything, until Gu Jiusi's voice came from outside, calling her, "Yuru, are you going back with me, or will you wait?"
Liu Yuru came back to her senses, Ye Yun held the teacup in her hand and said softly, "Come on, I'm fine here."
"Then..." Liu Yuru finally said, "Then I'll go first."
After she finished speaking, Ye Yun took her to the door, Gu Jiusi stood at the door waiting for her, Gu Jiusi nodded to Ye Yun, Liu Yuru said goodbye to Ye Yun, and walked with Gu Jiusi on the corridor. Gu Jiusi stretched out his hand to hold her, he looked at her expression, Liu Yuru noticed it and turned to look at him: "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Gu Jiusi smiled: "I see that you don't seem very happy, so I will take a closer look and remember what it looks like when you are unhappy."
Liu Yuru was amused by him: "You think about these useless things every day."
"No no no," Gu Jiusi hurriedly said, "This is my top priority."
The two entered the room while talking, and the doctor came to check again, confirming that Liu Yuru was fine, and after making her drink some tranquilizers, Gu Jiusi discussed with her: "We will wait until tomorrow. Let’s go back to Wangdu first, and let Brother Ye come back later, I still have some things to deal with in Wangdu City.”
Liu Yuru responded, thought about it, and said, "You want to see your father, right?"
Gu Jiusi was a little embarrassed, he lowered his head, took his clothes and turned behind the screen, muttering, "What do I want to see him do?
Liu Yuru pursed her lips and smiled without saying much.
When Gu Jiusi finished washing up, Liu Yuru also went to take a bath. After she got out of the bath, she saw Gu Jiusi sitting on the bed, reading with a book, Liu Yuru was wearing a single shirt and her hair was dripping water.
It's warm, come in."
Speaking, he raised his head and looked at the person in front of him, stunned.
Last night, and there was a dispute in the morning, until this moment, he really paid attention to this person. I haven't seen each other for more than three months. Liu Yuru has lost a lot of weight. After losing weight, her facial features stand up, her eyebrows and eyes are open, and she looks more beautiful and beautiful.
He felt like he had raised a tree, planted a flower, and she took root, sprouted, and bloomed in his heart. He didn't know if it was his own illusion or reality, but he felt that the eyebrows of the people in front of him were like mountains and dark eyes, and everything was exquisite and beautiful.
Although she is thin, the part under her neck is plump, and now she is only wearing a single shirt, you can see the mountains rolling, water droplets stained with candlelight, all the way down the river, Passing through the ravine, hidden in a piece of white jade.
Gu Jiusi suddenly felt a little dry, and his gaze seemed to be warm, which made Liu Yuru panic for a while. She didn't dare to move or move forward, so she lowered her head and lowered her eyes, whispering, "What are you looking at, Lang Jun?"
Gu Jiusi was a little flustered by her question, but she still pretended to be calm, and said with a smile, "Why don't you put on more clothes, come up quickly?"
Liu Yuru replied, she sat on the bed with the handkerchief, Gu Jiusi wrapped her in the quilt, as if she was afraid of her cold, and seemed to be afraid of something else.
After wrapping it up, Gu Jiusi breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the handkerchief, wiped her hair, and said softly, "I'll wipe your hair, it will cause a headache when you get old."
Liu Yuru frowned, she felt that this person was busy behind her, she suddenly remembered Ye Yun's words-
It is a good thing that you and Gu Jiusi are together.
She suddenly felt that in this world, she was already a very good girl.
She felt that the sky was falling, and she was not afraid.
She lowered her eyes and said slowly: "This time you prepared the money and rations, and solved Fan Xuan's worries. Is it a great achievement?"
"Yes," Gu Jiusi said casually, "I am still letting the refugees reclaim wasteland in Wangdu, and I also set the rules of the upper and lower, now you go to Wangdu, it is safe and clean, compared to Yangzhou although It’s still a little bit lacking, but it’s pretty good,” Gu Jiusi said, with a smile in his eyes, “If this continues, at the latest three years later, everything we’ve done will be able to see results. By then, I hope there will be money and people. Don't worry anymore."
When Liu Yuru heard this, she couldn't help but say: "Listening to you, I finally understand what a parental official is. You are worrying about this as a child."
"You're right," Gu Jiusi sighed, "but it's also because you're not here, you're not here, I miss you, so I always have to find something to do, otherwise I'll be busy every day for you If you write letters, you will bother others as well. If you take care of the national debt, then I will be busy with other things."
Gu Jiusi combed her half-dry hair and said softly, "It's quite novel when I'm busy. Oh, you must have no idea how much I learned."
"Huh?" Liu Yuru opened her eyes to look at him, Gu Jiusi said happily, "I can plant rice, drill wells, and inspect dams, I think, even if I'm not an official, I will only plant The land can also support you."
These words made Liu Yuru laugh out loud, she couldn't help but say, "You are so shameless, who of us feeds who."
Gu Jiusi heard this and hurriedly said: "You support me, but I want to support you in my heart. That's all," he sighed, "You are too talented, I shouldn't be a big one. The officer really doesn't deserve you."
"What did you say," Liu Yuru raised her hand, held Gu Jiusi's hand, lowered her eyes, and seemed a little embarrassed, "However you are my husband, whatever is my best that person."
Gu Jiusi didn't move, he felt that this person fell on the palm of his hand, and her palm still had a good wound, a few calluses, and it didn't look like those delicate palms of everyone. He remembered that she was not like this before. When she first married to the Gu family, although she was not favored, she was always an eldest lady who had never lacked food or clothing since she was a child. Even if you are not a lady, but Xiaojiabiyu does. Now her hand seems to be a notebook of her life, clearly recording everything she has experienced, but he doesn't think it's bad, besides feeling distressed, he thinks that Liu Yuru like this is very good.
He held Liu Yuru's hand with his backhand, hugged her from behind through the heavy quilt, and whispered, "Yuru."
"Huh?"
"We'll have a baby after a few years."
Liu Yuru was stunned when she heard this. After a while, she felt her heart beating fast and panicked, and there was a bit of indescribable surprise. She responded in a low voice and whispered: "Um."
"I want a daughter," Gu Jiusi whispered, "It's better to be like you, obedient and obedient, I will be a high official in the future to protect your mother and daughter."
"Of course, so is my son," Gu Jiusi didn't know what to do, but suddenly began to imagine the future, and said slowly, "If it were a son, I wouldn't hit him, I would play with him since he was a child. ."
"Are you playing like you?" Liu Yuru couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, "No good girl would marry like that."
"How come," Gu Jiusi immediately retorted, "a good girl is not blind, she can see our good. Just like you," Gu Jiusi brought her face up and said happily, "I feel I'm very good, right?"
Liu Yuru smiled and did not speak, her hair was dry, so she took the handkerchief away from Gu Jiusi's hands, got up and blew the candle, then returned to the bed, lay down with her back to him and said : "Sleep."
Gu Jiusi sat next to him for a while, he laughed suddenly, he got into the quilt, he lay quietly, the two of them didn't close their eyes for some reason.
Liu Yuru was a little nervous, but Gu Jiusi could feel that she could clearly hear her heartbeat.
I would fall asleep on the same bed without moving on the floor, and then I would try to hold back and not speak, and I had an impulsive and ignorant attempt. There has never been a day like this night, when my mind has been determined and the future is clearly defined.
Gu Jiusi intuitively knew what to do, but she was a little flustered, and Liu Yuru also knew what Gu Jiusi would do, so she tensed up and said nothing.
After a long time, Gu Jiusi finally moved, he turned over and hugged her from behind.
Liu Yuru froze. She blushed and reminded in a low voice, "We have to hurry tomorrow."
"I know." Gu Jiusi said gently, "I'll hug you."
Liu Yuru relaxed, she leaned against this familiar embrace, and after a long time, she heard Gu Jiusi whisper: "It's time to get married again."
Liu Yuru: "…"
Liu Yuru was actually very tired for the past few days, her energy was tense, and she finally reconciled with Gu Jiusi, the whole person relaxed, and she fell asleep a little.
When he woke up, Gu Jiusi had already prepared the horses and vehicles outside. After Liu Yuru washed up, he said goodbye to Ye Shian and Ye Yun. Look back first.
The two of them watched, even though this time was completely different from the last time, they still felt a little uncomfortable.
There are refugees all the way along the way. Before they reached Wangdu, the two already knew some of the frontline situation.
Fan Xuan led the army to overwhelm the entire line and pressed against the Eastern Capital. To the northeast of King Liang, Fan Xuan fought hard, and in the southwest behind Liu Xingzhi, the military envoy of Jiannan, harassed and pressed hard. As long as the Eastern Capital was captured, The King of Liang should not be afraid.
After getting the news, Gu Jiusi seemed a little worried, Liu Yuru couldn't help but say: "Master Fan is about to take the Eastern Capital, what are you worrying about?"
"King Liang is nothing to be afraid of now," Gu Jiusi sighed, "But now King Liang has cut off all the royal children, and Master Fan has entered the Eastern Capital, and who will be elected emperor? To convince the crowd?"
Liu Yuru did not speak, Gu Jiusi sipped her tea and continued: "There is a very high probability that Mr. Fan will ascend to the throne himself, if he does this seriously, others will surely follow, and if he does not say anything else, he will Speaking of Liu Xingzhi, he is now sitting in the two states of Yijing and Jing, how can he be convinced? Apart from Liu Xingzhi, Yangzhou Liangzhou Jiaozhou, and various princes and princes, which one is easy to be with?"
Liu Yuru was silent, after a long time, she sighed, held Gu Jiusi's hand and said: "Don't think too much, you just take care of the good hope, what happens in the future, wait for him to Fan Xuan If you get your corresponding salary, you will worry about him again."
After saying this, Gu Jiusi was stunned for a while, and after a while, he couldn't help but smile: "That's right."
It's not about the salary or not, but this kind of thing, he shouldn't be a county magistrate to worry about.
It's just that he is also in his heart, and he always sends people outside to investigate the situation. After walking for ten days, the two finally returned to Wangdu. Gu Jiusi asked someone to send a letter first. When the two arrived at the door of the house, Jiang Rou had already brought someone to stand at the door with a brazier of mugwort. Gu Jiusi and Liu Yuru came down together, and as soon as they got down, Gu Jiusi's eyes froze. There was an old man sitting in a wheelchair at the door. His hair was a little white, and his face was serious. Gu Jiusi looked at the other party, but the other party didn't speak. After a while, Gu Jiusi took two steps in three steps and rushed towards Gu Langhua. Gu Langhua looked at Gu Jiusichong Come, immediately raised your hand, and said angrily, "What are you doing, Nizi!"
These words made everyone stunned, Gu Jiusi subconsciously said: "You still scold me at this time?!"
Gu Langhua also felt that this reaction seemed too big, he coughed lightly, and then said, "I'm not scolding you."
Speaking, he scolded again: "Why are you rushing towards me so fast? I'm afraid you will bump into me."
Gu Jiusi didn't get angry, he just looked at Gu Langhua, and subconsciously wanted to rush over to play a big show of the love of a father and a son, but the old man was so capable, It made him lose all his warmth and emotion, and he couldn't help saying: "How dare you blame me? You don't give me a letter after being outside for so long, you know me... My mother is so worried about you, she made herself come back like this , do you look like a father?"
"Jiusi," Liu Yuru saw that the father and son were arguing, and hurried forward, grabbed Gu Jiusi and said, "Father-in-law just came back, you should talk well."
Seeing this, Jiang Rou also hurried forward, grabbed Gu Langhua and said, "Don't say a few words."
With the comfort of the two women, the two finally stopped arguing, but Gu Langhua put his hands in his sleeves, turned his head, hummed, and nakedly expressed his dissatisfaction.
When Gu Jiusi heard the "hum", he sneered and stopped looking at Gu Langhua.
Liu Yuru and Jiang Rou looked at each other, both of them were a little helpless, Jiang Rou sighed and said, "Don't talk about it, let's step over the brazier and enter the door."
Gu Jiusi led Liu Yuru across the brazier with a stern face, and splashed water on her body with wormwood before entering the gate. After entering, Liu Yuru watched Jiang Rou push Gu Langhua. The two didn't say a word. She knew that Gu Jiusi was thinking about Gu Langhua, so she hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, let Jiusi push your father-in-law in."
"I don't want," Gu Langhua immediately refused, "He is very reckless, I'm afraid he will hurt me."
"Whoever wants to say it." Gu Jiusi sneered, Liu Yuru was a little helpless, and could only say: "Then let me come."
Speaking, she walked to Jiang Rou's side, Liu Yuru's face was given to Gu Langhua, his daughter-in-law came to push the wheelchair, he didn't say anything, Liu Yuru pushed the wheelchair and said with Gu Jiusi: "Nine Si, come beside me and talk to me."
Gu Jiusi responded with a dull voice, and when Zhen came to Liu Yuru's side, Gu Langhua showed some surprise, but didn't say much, the two men were silent, Liu Yuru smiled and said, "Father-in-law is alone here. Has Yangzhou suffered?"
Gu Langhua listened to Liu Yuru's question and said stiffly, "Ah, it's okay."
"Father-in-law may as well talk about what happened in Yangzhou at that time."
Liu Yuru glanced at Gu Jiusi and said with a smile, "Me and Jiusi were thinking of you all the time."
"It's nothing," Gu Langhua wrote lightly, "I came out of the secret passage and was rescued. I accidentally broke my leg, and was later found by Young Master Ye and kept in custody."
"What danger did you encounter and were rescued? How did you break your leg? How did Ye Shian discover it?"
Gu Jiusi asked a series of questions, Gu Langhua subconsciously wanted to ridicule, Jiang Rou coughed lightly next to him, and then said: "Langhua, Jiusi has suffered a lot these days, you should be more considerate as a father, Don't be so old, still thinking about playing a child's temper."
Gu Langhua finally silenced when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he answered Gu Jiusi's questions one by one. With this beginning, the follow-up talk is much easier. Liu Yuru and his party went to the main hall. Everyone drank tea and listened to Gu Langhua talking about his situation. After Gu Langhua finished speaking, Gu Jiusi recounted what happened to them.
After finishing speaking, the two men were silent for a long time, Gu Langhua said: "Just come back safely, everyone is tired, go back first."
Gu Jiusi responded in a low voice, Liu Yuru took Gu Jiusi to get up, and the two walked out of the door. Before reaching the door, Gu Langhua suddenly stopped him: "Jusi."
Gu Jiusi stopped, he listened to Gu Langhua: "Come here, let me see if you are strong."
Gu Jiusi was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw Gu Langhua's face was deliberately stern, but there were tears in his eyes that could not be hidden, Gu Jiusi's heart softened, sorrow and sadness came together, he Go to Gu Langhua.
He was much taller than the man in the wheelchair, so after a pause, he squatted down on one knee, Gu Langhua looked at him quietly, then reached out and patted his shoulder, After a while, Gu Langhua smiled and said, "I have grown up."
Speaking, he didn't know whether it was gratification or emotion, and he repeated: "Grow up, it's a big child."
"I'm not a child anymore." Gu Jiusi muttered, "I'm the county magistrate now."
"Nonsense," Gu Langhua stared, "Even if you become prime minister, you are my son in front of me!"
Hearing this, Gu Jiusi laughed and was sour. He raised his eyes and said, "Yes, yes, I'm your son, you can beat or scold you whatever you want, okay?"
"You can't think of me," Gu Langhua raised his hand and patted Gu Jiusi's head, angrily, "Being a father wants to support you, I beat you and scold you, not for the same reason. Hello? So next time, don't have anything to do with me if I die." Gu Langhua slapped Gu Jiusi's head down with a slap, gritted his teeth and said, "Next time, I will kill you."
