In Guixuan Ridge, Master Li, who had been waiting for Zheng Quchi's "invitation", heard the saw report: "Uh... Brother Sang didn't know what he told Engineer Mu, so he jumped up and left happily. Ghost Carboxy Ridge.”
Master Li didn't tell anyone that "Sang Xuanqing" was a woman, so Saw always treated her like a man.
After listening to this, Master Li thought quietly for a moment, and then suddenly said: "You mean, she forgot to take me with her?"
The saw looks like an iron tower, and is half a head taller than the tall and slender Master Li, but now he wants to shrink himself a little so that he doesn't have too much of a presence.
Not daring to tell the truth, Zaw could only persuade him tactfully: "Master, it's snowing, we should hide."
There was no special emotion on Master Li's face: "Let's go."
"Where are you going?" Zaw asked in surprise.
"Although she forgot, I didn't forget. Naturally, I had to come to remind her."
As soon as Zaozi heard this, he knew that their master was becoming serious. Once he recognized a truth, others would not give up until they reached the Yellow River, but he would not give up even when he reached the Yellow River.
With him, there were never any roundabout choices. She had to do what she was told. If she couldn't do it, he would let her do it.
Knowing that he was destined to be unable to persuade him, Saw said nothing more.
He scratched his head and thought to himself, he didn't know what Brother Sang's expression would be like when he saw their master coming to visit uninvited.
apology?
happy?
still……
At this time, Guixanling is basically in a semi-stop state. Most of the local masons and laborers have been allowed to go home for the holidays, while those from far away have to stay on duty, but the construction site will prepare some richer meals for them than usual. Eat.
Master Li didn't see many people along the way.
Yes, it's snowing lightly right now, the road is wet and slippery, and there's nothing important, so who would come out and wander around.
The previous excitement seemed to have been taken away with them as everyone returned home for the holidays.
Although Master Li's expression did not change, the increasing force under his feet made Ziaozi see a sense of dissatisfaction and loneliness of being abandoned.
He glanced at his master's upright back, and couldn't help complaining about Brother Sang.
Didn't he agree to his master's promise to live a serious life together? Isn't it too rude to break the promise at the last minute?
She didn't even think about it, who was his master?
In the past, people could not get anything they asked for. I think Yu Wensheng was arrogant enough, so he had to try his best to win over their master to do things for him.
But their master was not willing to pay attention to him, so he just accepted her appointment.
It's good now. Others have almost sent it to her door in person, and she can still miss it. It's simply unreasonable.
Ai?
wrong.
It’s not “send”, it’s “already”.
Even if she was his master's savior, it was too much!
That's too much!
Just when the master and servant had just descended to the mountainside, they met an unexpected person on the road - Gong Shulan.
Dressed in purple clothes fluttering in the wind, with long black hair flowing down her back, and a gentle and elegant temperament, the person lives up to her name, like an orchid in the empty valley.
Saw was stunned: "Second girl?!"
"Brother."
When Gongshu Lan saw Master Li, even though the face was unfamiliar, the familiar feeling on his body made her eyes turn red with grievance, and her long eyelashes were covered with teardrops, as beautiful as hibiscus.
On the contrary, when Master Li saw Gong Shulan, he didn't show much excitement about the reunion of brother and sister. He glanced around her, but no one was following her.
But he was clear-minded in his heart, and after thinking about it, he understood what was going on.
"He let you out? Did he want to make sure I was still in Fu County?"
When Gongshu Lan heard what he said, he immediately denied it: "No, Yu Wensheng allows me two hours of free time every day to prepare some things. I just accidentally saw the words my brother left in the secret part of the workshop. I followed my trace, but don’t worry, I’m sure no one is following me.”
Master Li glanced at her lightly: "There is no need to follow me. As long as you can find me, Yu Wensheng will naturally know that I am still in Fu County soon."
Then it was only a matter of time before he was found out.
Gongshu Lan was startled for a moment, her beautiful eyes opened slightly, and she slowly realized what the other party was planning. She tightened her skirt tightly and immediately apologized: "I didn't expect...it was Lan Fuzhi."
I really didn't expect it...or was she trying to flatter and surrender to Yu Wensheng in this way?
Li Shi, that is, Gongshu Jiruo after disguising himself, he doesn't care what she thinks.
"I mentioned it to Yu Wensheng face to face, but he is not willing to marry you."
As soon as this was mentioned, Gong Shulan became excited. She bit her lower lip: "Brother, do you know why he doesn't want to marry me? That's because he married someone else not long ago!"
This matter must be true, because she accidentally learned about it from Wang Zebang, Yu Wensheng's adjutant.
"What, Yu Wensheng got married?!"
Saw was shocked and blurted out.
Not to mention the saw, even Gongshu Jiruo was stunned for a moment when he heard the words.
"Since he is already married, what's the point of staying here? You must have heard that the Yuwen family has always had a tradition of only marrying wives and not taking concubines, and there is no precedent for divorcing a wife."
Of course Gong Shulan knew.
It was precisely because she knew that she was so heartbroken after learning about this incident.
"I'm not willing to accept it. How could a man as talented and ambitious as him marry a peasant girl from Fu County? He must have been forced by the emperor of Ye State and had no choice but to do it for himself."
But Gongshu Jiruo somewhat understood people like Yu Wensheng, and he asked calmly: "Do you think there is anyone else in the world who can force Yu Wensheng to submit?"
Even if there was external force forcing him to do so, as long as he didn't want to, even if the princess of a country wanted to marry him, wouldn't he still not marry him?
Gong Shulan's face suddenly turned pale.
It was like the fact that he had been unwilling to admit in his heart was suddenly torn apart.
With a "pop" sound, Gong Shulan knelt down heavily.
"Brother, Lan only asks you this time, help me, help me get rid of her. You know I have been waiting for so many years. It is not easy for me to be so close to Yu Wensheng this time. I don't want to, and I can't let other women destroy her." Let go of all this, please, just give me a little more time, and I can make him treat me differently."
"You want me to hurt an innocent person?" Gongshu Jiruo asked back.
Gong Shulan kowtowed to the ground with great determination, and soon his forehead became bloodshot and turned red.
"Please, please, for the sake of my parents' support for each other before they die, just help Lan this time, okay?"
Gongshu Jiruo was not a merciful person, he just thought it was a stupid thing for her to do.
So what if we get rid of that woman? As long as Gong Shulan can't sway Yu Wensheng to fall in love with her, there will naturally be a second and third person in the future. Does she plan to use this shameful method to solve the problem for the rest of her life? Dropping women who are close to Yu Wensheng one after another?
"Then what do you want to do?"
Gongshu Lan paused: "Lan needs to plan this matter carefully. We can't let Yu Wensheng find out that I did it. I just hope that when Lan asks for help from my brother, he will spare no effort to help me."
Gongshu Jiruo looked at her deeply, and after a long while, he said, "If this is what you want."
He knew that once his parents moved out, Gongshu Jiruo would definitely not refuse, but before Gongshu Lan could completely show his smile, Gongshu Jiruo said again: "Gongshu Lan, do you know that what you are spending is what your parents are getting?" A lifetime of accumulated kindness and merit?”
Gong Shulan's expression suddenly froze on her face, she fluttered her eyelashes and lowered her eyes.
"Lan made a mistake and knows it, but... Lan has no regrets."
Gongshu Jiruo said, "Let's wait until later to decide whether we regret it or not."
However, even if you regret it, it is too late.
——
Zheng Quchi and Yu Wensheng returned home together. Brother Sang had already received the news that the laborers and masons from Guixuanling would be returning home from vacation today, so when he heard the door open, he hurried out to greet them.
He was leaning on a crutch, and when he saw Zheng Quchi changing into women's clothes, with a smile on his face and everything was fine, he criticized him with joy and anger.
"You, for so long you only asked others to bring oral messages, and you didn't even know how to go home and take a look?"
As soon as Zheng Quchi saw her brother's energetic expression, she knew that apart from worrying about her, everything else should be going well during this period.
"Brother, I'm busy right now. Look what I bought for you and Yaomei. By the way, where's Yaomei?"
"She went out to play with other children. What did she buy? It was a waste of money."
"Huh? Yaomei is not afraid of people anymore when we go out to play?"
"In the past, other children always bullied her, so she was afraid of others. Now you...your second brother is doing well. I heard from other people that he has done hundreds of jobs. Not only does everyone coax her, but the children also treat her badly." If you are kind, she will naturally be happy to go out and play.”
Second brother?
Oh, isn't the "second brother" her?
"Well, it's better to go out and play with peers more often, so as not to be bored at home."
Although Yaomei is not very bright, fortunately she is young and the other children are probably only a little bit smarter than her, so it is not a big problem.
When Yu Wensheng heard the "second brother" they mentioned, he thought it was "Sang Xuanqing". It seemed that Zheng Quchi was really "Sang Xuanqing's" girl.
He asked intentionally: "Qu Chi, it's New Year's Eve tomorrow. Why hasn't your second brother come back yet?"
Zheng Quchi and Brother Sang were immediately asked.
The two of them looked at each other secretly, and Zheng Quchi laughed and said: "He...he should have gone to do something. I guess he will be back soon. Speaking of my second brother, he is away from home all year round, and sometimes we can't figure him out." 's whereabouts."
This sentence is also in line with the characteristics of "Sang Xuanqing" who is a detailed worker. Now he has to pass information to the "Julu Kingdom", and now he has to serve as an internal agent for the "Mo Family". This must be a bit erratic, and he must be away from home all year round. Only then can things be done.
"That's it."
Yu Wensheng nodded, as if he accepted this answer well.
Zheng Quchi quickly changed the subject: "Brother, have you bought anything for the festival? I didn't buy much here. If I need anything, I'll go there tomorrow. Let me tell you, the county has increased my monthly salary. We can have a prosperous year this year."
"If there is anything missing, go to the kitchen and have a look. I know you want to eat bacon. I asked Hei Ming to buy and smoke a pig. I also bought ten laying hens and raised ten chicks in a bamboo pen. You can just eat more meat to make up for it in the future, so you don’t have to complain all the time that you’re short because you didn’t eat good food.”
"One, a pig?! Brother, you are so extravagant, but...thank you, brother. It's hard for you to prepare so many things because of your limited legs and feet."
"The whole family should stop talking to each other. It all depends on you... The second brother has made money this year. Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You are all wet. I have boiled water for you. Go and wash it quickly. Once washed, I will find a change of clothes for you and hang them in the bathroom."
Although this bathhouse sounds quite high-end, it is actually just a bathing area of about three square meters.
When Zheng Quchi was repairing his house, he paid great attention to bathing and going to the toilet. He didn't want to be like others who had to drag a bucket into the room every time he took a bath, or take a ladle of water to wash himself in the open air on a hot day.
She specially opened a bathroom, which is convenient for taking a bath or shower. The main reason is that it is more concealed and the door can be locked.
At first, the eldest brother thought that she only had some weird ideas and found it troublesome to build an extra bathroom, but he has always been spoiled by her and she can do whatever she wants. Now they are used to taking a bath in the bathroom next to the kitchen. .
Because she specially cut a small hole in the kitchen wall, and embedded a bamboo tube in the hole to connect the kitchen and bathroom. It was very convenient to pour hot water into the bathtub directly from the kitchen without moving it.
As soon as he got home from tiredness, he could take a comfortable hot bath. Zheng Quchi had to sigh - it's so good to have his elder brother taking care of him.
"Brother, please heat up another pot. Feng Mian can also take a dip later."
Thinking of Liu Fengmian, who suffers from cold hands and feet all year round and suffers from cold body, if he can take a bath, he will sleep more comfortably that night.
Liu Fengmian, who was originally ignored by the brother and sister, stood silently aside. Now that he heard Zheng Quchi's words, he was willing to smile with his curved lips at Brother Sang, who had always disliked him.
Brother Sang replied naturally: "You are husband and wife anyway, and the bathtub is big enough, so let's go bathing together."
Zheng Quchi: "..." Brother, do you really know what you are talking about? !
Yu Wensheng: "..." This suggestion sounds quite reasonable.
Brother Sang looked unnatural when he saw them, as if he had something to hide, but then he thought about it. Recently, Zizi seems to be busy helping the county build the city wall. This is a big thing, related to the safety of the entire county, and it really cannot be done in the city. Pregnant at this time.
Oops, he didn't think carefully.
Because I was anxious to hold my nephew, I ignored this point.
He immediately changed his mind: "Forget it, let me boil water. It's really not convenient for two people to squeeze together."
Hearing this, Zheng Quchi breathed a sigh of relief.
Her brother didn't know that they were still a plastic couple just chatting under a quilt. If he found out about this, a person with his traditional temperament would definitely get angry with her.
She raised her eyes and glanced at Liu Fengmian.
If he felt something, he turned his head and "looked" in her direction. The beauty's face under the lamp was so beautiful and white that it was quite thrilling.
