The wind was cold, so Jin Xiaolou turned and left.

Her head was buzzing. She just wanted to calm down and not see him again.

Gao Lang walked in front of Jin Xiaolou and blocked his way, wanting to explain in detail: "Lou, a year ago, I was the one who hurt you, and I was the one who got poisoned. Luckily, I met you, and I survived."

Gao Lang paused for a moment. He sincerely felt gratitude towards her and also felt guilt towards her.

"It's just that it was inconvenient for me to stay for a long time at that time, and I wasn't able to give you an explanation. I've been thinking about this every single day, so whenever I had the chance, I would come to Wellhead Village just to find you."

Hearing that, Jin Xiaolou lowered her head and laughed at herself.

So the love she had always believed in was simply his gratitude?

Jin Xiaolou didn't have a muddled mind. As long as someone was nice to her, she would follow that person.

The feelings she wanted were the warm feelings between them, the sincere love for each other, the admiration, the support, the love.

Whatever it is, it must not be a repayment.

She suddenly raised her head and stared into Gao Lang's eyes without blinking, and said: "The person you were looking for, the silly woman who saved you, but lost her innocence and became pregnant because of this, the peasant girl Jin Xiaolou who didn't recognize a single word in the Wellhead Village, she died a long time ago when she gave birth to you from the Lin'er."

Jin Xiaolou's heart ached, she thought of the day she came to this world, when the warm blood gushing out from her body had truly taken away a life.

She pitied Jin Xiaolou and also promised her before to find the man that harmed her.

Right now, the man was right in front of him.

It was the person that had slowly walked into her heart.

Jin Xiaolou could only accept Gao Lang as a fool, but not as the villain of a sorghum field more than a year ago. Furthermore, as she could not accept all of Gao Lang's love for her, it had never been love, it had only originated from guilt and gratitude.

Jin Xiaolou suddenly shouted with all her might, "Jin Xiaolou is very unlucky. She did not wait for you nor did she survive! Jin Xiaolou is already dead, she sacrificed her life to save you, but you were unable to do so.

As soon as he finished, the servants of the Residence of He came over with lanterns in their hands.

They saw from afar that the assassin leader had fallen on the side, and was about to inspect the corpse.

Jin Xiaolou quickly buried her head in her chest and ran outside. Gao Lang wanted to chase after him, but just as he was about to do so, he stopped and looked at the figure that was gradually disappearing in the distance.

Only then did Chang An come to Gao Lang's side, and quietly called out to him.

He had never seen his own Seventh Elder treat people with such diligence, and yet he was completely rejected.

"Lady Xiaolou will understand you eventually." After hesitating for a moment, Chang An continued, "Master, your wound …"

"Let's go." Gao Lang's expression became ice-cold again. He glanced at the servants who were getting closer to him, bent over and picked up his sword, then left.

It was already late in the night when the gongzi carried the gong along the street, reminding the people that curfew was imminent and that they should not walk around as they pleased.

The city was swarming with soldiers and soldiers, and there were only a few patrolling on the streets.

Jin Xiaolou didn't even have a lantern, she touched the darkness and walked towards the Mountain Note.

Mountain Note had the sign that it was open for business twenty-four hours, from morning to night, and then from night to morning.

Although no one came to the Mountain Note anymore after the curfew time, at this moment, this bright and harmonious lantern drove away all the darkness in Jin Xiaolou's body, and made her anxious and anxious heart feel comfortable.

Before he could reach the door, he saw Gui Zhi leaning against the door, looking forward to it.

Zhou Shuli seemed very worried that winter would come, the cold wind blew into the osmanthus branch, and he carefully stood at the mouth of the wind, shielding it from the cold air.

Jin Xiaolou's calm face relaxed at this moment.

Seeing that Jin Xiaoliu had returned, Gui Qi hurriedly put on her cloak and even placed a hot pot in her hands. "It's really quite true that He Mansion sent a palanquin to escort you back. It's freezing cold. What should I do if I catch a cold?

"How can he be so delicate!" Jin Xiaolou laughed, "It's not like it's made of paper, don't tell me you want to fall just by blowing the cold wind?"

"Come on in." Gui Qi embraced Jin Xiaolou and nudged Zhou Shuli who was beside her, "What are you waiting for? Tell Sister Ruyue to quickly cook the dumplings, the little girls in the house all have green eyes from waiting."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and said slowly: "Gao Lang has been sleeping for the entire day, and in the evening, when Lv Yun went to wake him up, she could not wake him up, and had even locked the door.

The moment she heard Gao Lang's name, Jin Xiaolou stopped in her tracks.

Seeing that Jin Xiaolou was no longer leaving, Gui Qi thought that she was worried about him and joked: "Go and call him, he will definitely get up. When the time comes, the two of you will have one chance to win, and next year, you can add a little sister to Lin'er. "

Jin Xiaolou laughed bitterly and shook her head: "No need to shout, he's not at home."

"Not home?" Gui Zhi was stunned. "Then where can he go alone? Lou Lan, don't scare me."

Don't worry about him. Not only is he not stupid, he's even much stronger than us …" Jin Xiaoluo held onto Gui Zhi's shoulder. "Come on, let's go eat some dumplings. I've been starving to death.

Gui Qi was stunned.

Gao Lang was not stupid? Then how could he have followed the housekeeper to this remote place and made the marriage so casual?

Gui Zhi was filled with doubts. Seeing that Jin Xiaolou was not willing to speak further, she did not ask anymore and just followed along to cook the dumplings.

The dumplings made from Chinese cabbage and pork had a thin skin and big filling. They had a rich fragrance and juicy taste. After eating a bowl of the dumplings, his entire body felt warm.

Jin Xiaolou had eaten both copper coins, and everyone was praising the fact that there would be more wealth waiting for him in the future.

On the other hand, although Gui Zhi had eaten a red date, before she could say anything, Zhou Shuli, who was sitting beside her, had already blushed. She was happy and shy at the same time as she rubbed her head, looking at Gui Zhi from time to time. The people at the table burst into laughter, causing Gui Zhi to feel extremely awkward. He threw away his chopsticks and ran towards the backyard.

Seeing Zhou Shuli scratching his head with a dazed look, Jin Xiaolou slammed the table: "What are you standing there for, quickly chase after him!"

Only then did Zhou Shuli react, and he quickly threw his chopsticks back into the courtyard.

As Gui Zhi sat under the magnolia tree, Zhou Shuli slowly walked over. After a long while, he finally said: "You just ate some dates, that's a good prize.

By the side of the kitchen curtain, Jin Xiaolou and Lv Yun secretly opened a crack and looked outside.

As Ru Yi was boiling the water to wash the dishes, Kuang Ruyue looked at the two of them shaking her head as she hugged Lin'er.

"This... "I don't need you to say that …" Gui Qi saw that Zhou Shuli had sat down by his side, and turned his body to twist his clothes, with his back facing.

Zhou Shuli chuckled, then said slowly: "This kid has a story behind him. Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a large sand hill in the southern suburbs.

Jin Xiaolou became more anxious the more she heard about it. This bookworm Zhou Shuli was not the type of person to start off with stories, he stomped his feet, pulled open the curtain and shouted, "Have children earlier, how are you going to give birth to children?!"

Lv Yun also giggled and shouted after her, "Gui Qi, who are you trying to have children with?"

Gui Zhi didn't expect that someone would still be nearby, eavesdropping on him. Embarrassed, he quickly got up and prepared to leave. Zhou Shuli finally calmed himself down and said to Gui Zhi, "My child, Gui Qi, the two of us will bear children long ago."

After she finished speaking, she anxiously reached out to pull at Gui Zhi. Remembering that men and women were not close to each other, she immediately let go and spoke in a clear voice, "Huang Guizhi, I … I... I have admired you for a long time, and if you allow me, I will ask the matchmaker to propose to you.

Cinnamon's eyes were wet, and she turned away.

The candle flame in the yard shattered the magnolia tree into ripples, rippling on the two of them.

She bit her lip and said, "My family is poor, and I've also been engaged with them before. You … Do you mind? "

Zhou Shuli shook his head with all his might: "Gui Qi, the person I admire is you. It has nothing to do with your family, or your past."

Zhou Shuli spoke sincerely, and Gui Zhi's tears flowed uncontrollably. She did not speak anymore, and with his head lowered, he ran back to his own room, leaving Zhou Shuli standing in the courtyard.

Lv Yun looked at Jin Xiaolou: "Innkeeper, Gui Zhi just ran away like that, is this a yes or no?"

Jin Xiaolou shook her head, but before she could say anything, Gui Qi appeared again with a piece of paper in her hand. She rushed out and stuffed it into Zhou Shuli's hands and said gently: "I'm just by myself, there's no need to talk about matchmaking. This is a good day, how about you take a look at it?"

After saying that, he turned around and hid back in the room, even closing the door tightly this time.

Zhou Shuli opened the paper in his hand and saw that it was a page torn from the Yellow Calendar.

Zhou Shuli was ecstatic, he rushed to Gui Qi's room and shouted: "Suitable, very suitable."

That night, Jin Xiaolou hugged Lin'er who was soundly asleep, and was happy for Gui Qi from the bottom of his heart. Unknowingly, she once again thought of Gao Lang, and the details of how she slept with Gao Lang countless of times rolled through her mind.

Yesterday, after wrapping up the dumplings, Gui Zhi sent someone over to deliver some to the Wellhead Village Carpenter Sun. This morning, the Carpenter Sun personally drove over to deliver some goods to Mountain Note.

This carriage was bought very early, so as to avoid having to call for a carriage every time the goods were delivered. It was inconvenient and expensive.

Carpenter Sun carried away the fresh vegetables and the chicken, duck and pork that he had just slaughtered. Jin Xiaolou stood at the side and asked Zhou Shuli to record all the goods into his account.

"How's the farm?" Jin Xiaolou gave Carpenter Sun the monthly allowance for this month. It was a full 100 silver, which she placed heavily in her bag.

Carpenter Sun took it and replied: According to your blueprints, it's more or less done. A few days ago, the women in the village went around to collect some chickens, ducks, and puppies, and now, all the villagers have arranged for them to work. Everyone feels that their days are much better than before, not only are they not worried about food or clothes, they can even spare some money.

Jin Xiaolou nodded her head, she was about to ask a few more questions when she heard Kuang Ruyue speak from behind him: "This time, why does the chicken look a little strange?"
