The past gratitude and resentment have passed, and the misunderstanding that should be lifted has also been lifted.
Yao is not a vicious stepmother, and Gu Changqing is also a good big brother.
For Gu Yan and Gu Jiao, he risked his life several times. Yao's heart had no complaints about him. Some were only deeply moved and grateful.
But it's one thing that I don't have a grudge in my heart. It's another thing to really open the gap in the open.
She said she didn't expect, but at this moment, she realized that she had been waiting for the mother.
"Look at you, why are you crying?" Lord Gu, on the other side, saw that Yao shed tears with his tea lamp, and hurriedly took out his handkerchief to wipe it for her. "Didn't he just call someone?"
Although he was muttering like this, he knew in his heart that Yao had been waiting for his mother for too long.
When his son was a child, he didn't know how many methods he had used. He used both soft and hard methods to force them to honor Yao's family and call Yao's mother. However, the three brothers were very hard and would rather be killed than do so.
The old lady loved her grandson and forbade him to force three more children. So far, the shouting was delayed.
Now the eldest son takes the initiative to speak. To be honest, he is very surprised.
However, thinking about their relationship in recent years, I think it is natural.
Yuan Baolin looked at Yao and Gu Changqing, who was calm on the surface but must have had a lot of waves in her heart. She also took the tea from the servant and presented her hands to Yao: "mother, please drink tea."
"OK, OK!" Yao took the cup of daughter-in-law's tea with a tearful smile.
Yao also gave yuan Baolin a box of jewelry, which she and Gu Jiao chose from the shop. It is novel, concise and atmospheric, which complements yuan Baolin's temperament.
Yuan Baolin saw that the gift had taken a lot of thought. She smiled and thanked: "thank you, mother."
The couple had lunch in Yao's yard.
After leaving the hospital, the two walked back together. When passing by the small garden, Gu Changqing suddenly stopped and said to Yuan Baolin, "I'm going to the military camp later. I may not come back tonight. You can arrange for yourself earlier."
Without waiting for yuan Baolin to speak, the old Marquis came with his hands behind him.
"Grandpa." they saluted him.
The old Marquis nodded: "I'm going out. Go back to the yard."
Gu Changqing said, "did grandpa go to the military camp? I went with him."
The LORD looked at him strangely: "what are you doing with me? I'm giving you a holiday. You don't have to go to the military camp this month, so that you can stay at home with Pauline."
Gu Changqing choked: "I......"
Yuan Baolin's lips turned up.
"I'm leaving." the old Marquis left with a faint look.
Yuan Baolin smiled: "Grandpa, go slowly."
"HMM." the old Marquis, who had already taken two steps, said solemnly.
Yuan Baolin looked regretfully at Gu Changqing: "what should I do? Grandpa won't let you go to the barracks."
Gu Changqing was at a loss. He practiced martial arts since he was a child. At the age of 15, he went to war with his grandfather. He was either training troops or licking blood at the edge of the knife all day. He was really not used to being idle all of a sudden.
He sighed, "I'll practice my sword in the back mountain."
Yuan Baolin said in a low voice, "you... Still have the strength to practice sword?"
Gu Changqing didn't react for a moment: "of course I have..."
It was only here that he realized what yuan Baolin meant.
Only two days later, the embarrassment did not subside. He cleared his throat and said, "I'll take you back to the yard first."
Gu Changqing sent yuan Baolin back to his new house before he went to the back mountain to practice his sword.
This practice lasted until the evening.
He returned to the yard sweating and found that Yuan Baolin was sitting in the room waiting for him. There were several exquisite and delicious dishes on the table, but it seemed that they had been placed for too long and had no heat.
"Are you back?" Yuan Baolin said hello to him.
He nodded slightly and asked her, "are you... Waiting for me?"
"Yes." Yuan Baolin answered his words and said to the servant girl, "yue'e, take these meals to make the kitchen warm."
"Yes, miss." yue'e took the food down.
Yuan Baolin handed him a square towel. He paused, took it, and then said, "if I come back late in the future, you can eat it yourself. Don't wait for me."
Yuan Baolin said, "it's strange for me to eat first. It's easy to show my feet, so that people can see that we are fake couples."
Gu Changqing thought, it's such a reason.
"Then I'll... Come back as soon as possible," he said
After dinner, they washed and were ready to go to bed.
Gu Changqing was well dressed from head to toe, and even her collar was tied to the highest. Besides being clear and meaningful, her whole body exuded a cold breath of abstinence.
Yuan Baolin didn't dress as formally as he did, but she was also well dressed.
Yuan Baolin opened the red tent and went to bed. Gu Changqing closed the door and went to hold the bedding on the floor as usual, but found that the bedding in the cabinet was missing.
He frowned.
Yuan Baolin stretched her head out of the curtain: "what's the matter? What's the matter?"
Gu Changqing frowned and said, "there's no mattress."
Yuan Baolin asked, "how could this happen?"
Gu Changqing still frowned: "maybe the servants who cleaned the house saw that the mattress was dirty, so they took it to wash it. I'll ask them to bring some new ones."
"Hey! Gu Changqing!" Yuan Baolin called her. "If they took it away when they saw it dirty, then you slept on the ground tonight and let them find it dirty tomorrow morning? It's good to sleep twice, and more times. Sooner or later, your sleeping on the ground will reveal the truth."
It seems to be a perfect strategy for the man in the story book to make a floor shop on the ground in order not to share a room with his wife. In reality, we can know where the loophole is by experimenting.
Is the servant blind?
Where can I know that this mattress has been spread on the ground?
Gu Changqing didn't think so much at first, mainly because he didn't expect that his grandfather would not let him go to the military camp. If it was dirty under his mattress for a month, it would be impossible for people to doubt.
"Come up and sleep," said Yuan Baolin. "The bed is big anyway."
Gu Changqing looked at the door with the latch.
Yuan Baolin glanced down his eyes and said, "they are watching outside. If you go to sleep in the study, the whole house will hear the news of our newlywed disagreement tomorrow."
Gu Changqing looked at several benches in the house: "I can sleep on the bench."
Yuan Baolin: "Oh."
Gu Changqing arranged the stool. Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay on it, the stool collapsed.
Gu Changqing, who was stunned by the fall of his head: "
Gu Changqing finally had to lie down in the red tent.
The bed is very big. Yuan Baolin sleeps on the innermost side. He sleeps on the edge of the bed. He wishes he could lie in a row in the middle.
Yuan Baolin closed her eyes and fell asleep in a moment.
Gu Changqing lay flat, his hands folded on his abdomen, looked faintly at the top of the red tent, her ears were her even breathing, and the tip of her nose was haunted with her soft aroma.
The red tent completely gathered her fragrance in this narrow world, and the night made everything strong.
Due to the limited eyesight, other senses were infinitely amplified. In addition to her voice and breath, the touch brought by the soft bed under her body and the silky brocade quilt on her body all stimulated his instinct as a man.
The picture of the wedding night flashed in my mind involuntarily - she was crying under him, her soft body trembling gently
He clenched his fist slightly, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and forcibly removed the thoughts from his mind.
……
The day Gu Changqing accompanied yuan Baolin back, there happened to be a lantern festival on Chang'an Street.
Yuan Baolin wanted to go to the Lantern Festival, and Gu Changqing accompanied her.
"I'll go too! I'll go too!" Yuan Tong said, holding his sister's hand.
Mrs. yuan gave her little daughter a hard look. She didn't have enough eyesight. Your sister and brother-in-law went shopping. What are you going to do?
However, Yuan Tong did not receive the eye knife from her mother. She was dying of her sister these days. Her sister finally came back. She was reluctant to separate from her sister so soon!
"Can my sister come together?" Yuan Baolin asked Gu Changqing for advice.
"Of course." Gu Changqing generously responded to Yuan's father and Yuan Fu, "please rest assured, father-in-law and mother-in-law, I will send people back after the Lantern Festival."
Yuan Tong smiled happily: "my brother-in-law is very nice!"
For this, Mrs. yuan was inconvenient to stop Yuan Tong, so she had to go.
When he came, Gu Changqing and Yuan Baolin were in the same carriage. At this time, Yuan Baolin was more. To avoid suspicion, Gu Changqing rode ahead.
In the carriage, the sisters talked about their own words. Yuan Tong grabbed his sister's hand and whispered, "sister, tell me the truth. Is your brother-in-law treating you?"
Yuan Baolin said, "very good."
"Really?"
"Really."
Yuan Tong nodded: "then I'll rest assured."
Gu Changqing had no intention of eavesdropping, but her ears were there. It seems that Yuan Baolin didn't even tell her closest sister about their fake husband and wife.
Chang'an Avenue was so congested that the carriage could no longer drive when it came to the side. Several people had to abandon their cars and horses and walk.
Yuan Baolin and her sister walked in front hand in hand, and Gu Changqing quietly followed.
As night fell, rows of shops were brightly lit, and dazzling lanterns were hung on the stalls on both sides of the road. At a glance, the candlelight was bright, like a winding dragon in the night.
Yuan Baolin looked back from time to time. When she saw him, she would smile at him and then continue to stroll around the lantern with her sister.
After walking for a while, on the second floor of a restaurant, someone suddenly leaned out of the window and surprised Gu Changqing and shouted, "big brother?"
Gu Changqing paused and looked up.
The yuan Baolin sisters also looked at the man.
After Yuan Tong saw who the other party was, he immediately became disgusted: "is it you?"
Gu Chengfeng's face was black: "Why are you there?"
