Before General Gu could think of any clues, he heard a gurgling sound. He had keen ears and looked down following the sound. Zhao Zhilan's face turned red and she didn't care to cry. She stretched out her hands to hug her belly and jumped from the ground. Get up, bypass General Gu and rush to the table.
There are many things on the table, including four-color snacks, four-color dried fruits, peanuts and red dates. Zhao Zhilan quickly pinched a piece of rose cake and stuffed it into her mouth. The rose cake was sweet and crispy. It was so delicious that Zhao Zhilan wanted to continue crying. This must be the most delicious thing in the world. She has never eaten it in her life. I've never had anything more delicious than this piece of rose cake.
General Gu stood behind and watched her devouring her food, as if she didn't care about her image at all - how could a newlywed lady eat like this in front of her newlywed husband? Even though General Gu was inexperienced, he felt that the bride should look at the groom lovingly, and then shyly and restrainedly express that she was not hungry and would not eat - if there was a taste in her mouth, wouldn't it be embarrassing later? ? Even he himself was reminded by the housekeeper just now to eat less food with garlic.
If Zhao Zhilan knew what General Gu was thinking, he would probably have only one idea - he must have never been hungry.
In fact, General Gu has also suffered from hunger. How can a person on the battlefield eat on time every day? Sometimes, if we send troops in the morning and don't come back for two or three days, we may not even be able to get a meal. In the best case scenario, you can have one meal at night.
Zhao Zhilan ate four pieces of snacks in a row to fill her stomach, and finally she didn't feel that panic anymore. She turned her back to General Gu and carefully thought about what she had just said to make sure there were no omissions. Then she turned around and looked at General Gu hesitantly.
General Gu paused for a moment and did not intend to bring up the previous topic - he is a decisive person. No matter what happened before, he is now married to Zhao Ruolan. If he pursues the past affairs again, the Zhao family and the Gu family will be in trouble. It's okay if they don't live in peace. If they make the third prince angry and the royal family loses face, it's really not worth the gain.
If Zhao Ruolan had feelings for him and had to change their marriage under the pressure of the Zhao family because he and Zhao Zhilan did something wrong, then he could not forgive Zhao Ruolan and just find opportunities to make amends in the future. But since Zhao Ruolan has become the third prince's concubine, this compensation should be done secretly to avoid misunderstanding by the third prince and another setback.
As a man, General Gu felt that he understood men to some extent. Which man could accept help from his wife's ex-fiancé and tolerate his wife being missed by another man?
If Zhao Ruolan has no friendship with him, and everything is a calculation, all for the sake of changing the marriage today, then he and Zhao Ruolan have nothing to do with each other, no one owes anything to the other, and he doesn't care that Zhao Ruolan owes him. From that day on, just stay far away, and there is no need to make a fuss. He is not a chaste and martyr woman. If someone deceives her body and mind, she will not be able to live. If she makes a fuss, she will commit suicide.
"It's getting late..." General Gu spoke, and Zhao Zhilan's face showed a bit of panic: "Do you want to rest? I, I, I... can... I don't know what you are thinking, but if you don't care about me, Friendship, should we wait a little longer?”
General Gu thought suddenly and raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you already suffer it?"
Zhao Zhilan's face instantly turned pale. She couldn't help but take a step back and hit the table with her waist: "Do you also regard me as a ****? Do you also feel that I am a dirty person now that I am not a woman? You are Don’t you think that because of what happened, I deserve to be laughed at, looked down upon, and ridiculed by others?”
"That's not what I meant." General Gu immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized: "I mean, now that we are married, let's not talk about the past. From now on, I respect you and me as husband and wife. I love you, so if you have any requests, just ask them."
Zhao Zhilan pursed her lips, unable to shed tears: "How dare I ask for anything? I am a ruined person, with ruined flowers and willows. To marry you is a high achievement. I shamelessly stole my sister's marriage. , that you can accept me is already a blessing saved by my eighteen generations of ancestors, and I should thank the gods and Buddhas. How dare I ask for anything?"
General Gu has one head and two heads.
When he was engaged to Zhao Ruolan before, Zhao Ruolan was really a very rule-abiding person. Not to mention crying like this, she never said a word that was out of line. The two of them always get along indifferently. He would say that the weather is nice today, and Zhao Ruolan would say that the flowers are blooming well outside.
The two of them had never spoken loudly, let alone quarrels. He was not lucky enough to see his parents get along with each other, and he didn't know how ordinary couples got along, but the book said that they should treat each other with equal care and respect each other as guests. Thinking about everything, they always talk to each other and understand each other in a gentle voice.
First, Zhao Zhilan cried pitifully, and now she said derogatory words about herself. Seeing that she looked so stubborn and aggrieved, General Gu didn't know how to deal with it.
After all, there was no woman. After a while, General Gu said dryly: "Are you thirsty? You just ate snacks and didn't drink water. Do you want someone to bring you a pot of tea?"
This one in the house has been there for a day and is completely cold. Even in summer, it probably doesn't taste good.
Zhao Zhilan opened her mouth, intending to add more chips to herself, but she was really thirsty. No matter whether she was crying, talking, or eating snacks, who doesn't want water? She was afraid that there would be a taste in her mouth so she didn't dare to eat. She was also afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold it in and wanted to go to the latrine. She didn't dare to drink. It was okay when she wasn't reminded and she could hold it in. But after the reminder, it really made her throat smoke.
After a pause, she decided not to embarrass herself. She had to drink water, and the quarrel could come later.
Seeing her nod, General Gu breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to the door to ask the maid to bring tea. Zhao Zhilan hurriedly added: "Just boiled water, not tea, lest you drink too much tea and be unable to sleep at night."
The maid hurriedly responded, turned around and left.
Another maid secretly looked at this, then that, and hesitated: "Master, do you want to take a bath?"
Newlyweds, a big day, what's the point of quarreling in the house without a wedding night?
General Gu paused and looked sideways at Zhao Zhilan. Zhao Zhilan pursed her lips and said politely, "Can someone bring some hot water? I want to wash it off."
In this summer, getting married was a torture. At the end of the day, her clothes were wet and dry, and she felt like she smelled.
While the maid went to ask for hot water, Zhao Zhilan hurriedly returned to the house, sat in front of the bronze mirror, reached out and removed all the things on her head, her crying was interrupted, and now it would be hard to do it again. , it needs to be brewed again, and another opportunity must be found, and the previous things must be made up for so that General Gu will never mention it again in the future.
Otherwise, it would be like an ink dot on a white drawing paper, which would be an eyesore whenever you see it.
If you lose your virginity before getting married, even if this person is your current husband, it will be seen as inferior and looked down upon. Your own husband will do the same, looking down on you and feeling that you have no rules and can't keep them, even if he doesn't keep them himself.
In this world, the so-called innocence is more important for women. Men can have a romantic relationship before marriage, they can turn around as prodigal sons, and they can love their wives as teenagers, but women cannot. Women must keep their chastity, live a pure life, and not have any stain on them.
If she wanted General Gu to think highly of her, take her to heart, respect and love her, she would have to expose this matter.
She was thinking about something in her mind, so she neglected the movements of her hands. Without paying attention, she turned a hairpin upside down and hooked it with her hair. She couldn't see it herself. It was a bit difficult to reach out and touch it, so she planned to call someone. Come.
But as soon as she turned her head, before she could speak, a pair of big hands fell on her head. Zhao Zhilan was startled, and when she turned her head suddenly, the thing on her head was almost thrown out, pulling her scalp painfully.
"Don't move." General Gu said. The hand holding the knife and gun was gentle and gentle, and he untied the hair bit by bit very carefully. Zhao Zhilan didn't feel any pain in the process. For some reason, Zhao Zhilan felt her eyes. One hot.
She quickly took the opportunity to turn her head and wipe it with her sleeve, but she had cried a lot today, and now she couldn't stop her tears. Isn't it just about untying your hair? A man can do it, so what's there to cry about?
General Gu put the hairpin he took off on the dressing table and went to pick something else before Zhao Zhilan could say anything. Zhao Zhilan stretched out her hand to protect her head: "I'll do it myself."
"Now that we are husband and wife, we should love each other from now on. If we hold resentment and complain in our hearts, we will not be able to survive this life." General Gu paused for a while, then said after careful consideration: "I don't necessarily have to go on an expedition at any time. If you are angry and unwilling to face me, then maybe..."
Zhao Zhilan quickly turned around and stepped on his feet, then waved her hand: "Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wuji, bah bah bah."
General Gu couldn't help laughing and reached out to touch her head: "Let's live a good life and try to have a baby as soon as possible. This way, no matter what happens to me in the future, I can feel at ease."
You can't talk about divorce. If you say this just after getting married, it will inevitably ruin Zhao Zhilan's reputation and make people think that she may have committed some unforgivable sin to let her husband's family mention such a thing during their wedding. .
Even if he really couldn't survive and reached this point, Zhao Zhilan should have brought this up, not him.
"Let me think about it." After a while, Zhao Zhilan said softly. She did not raise her head, fearing that General Gu would see the smile on her face. Look, she had to coax General Gu before, but now isn't it the other way around?
