Blissful Days After Widowhood

Gu Yinben was also worried that Gu Ye and Wu Qingyi would not get along well, thinking about how to ease the relationship between the two.

I didn't expect her to do anything at all, and the relationship between the two became closer day by day.

First of all, Gu Ye rode on Wu Qingyi's neck that day and played all afternoon.

The day after that was getting dark, and the family found an inn to stay.

The two of them played until it was dark before returning.

Gu Ye went crazy with joy, took Wu An's hand and said, "It's a pity you don't go, it's so fun!"

At that time, Wu An had just finished his homework, and envied: "I have asked for such a long leave, and if I don't write again, I will not finish it."

"It's okay," Wu Qingyi also sweated and said with a smile: "I have spent a lot of time on horseback riding. When I return to Beijing, I will choose a foal for each of you, and you will be able to do it at home. ride."

What little boy can say no to a foal? The eyes of the two little guys lit up immediately.

"I want the black one!" Gu Ye said immediately.

"Then I want snow white." Wu An thought for a while.

After they finished talking, they immediately discussed what to name their foal, and Wang raised their neck collars one by one and said, "I haven't played yet, don't give me the skin, Take a shower first!"

The family asked for three rooms, Wu Qingyi's room was at the outermost part near the stairs, and Gu Yin and Wang's room were at the back.

Wang took them back to the house, and only Wu Qingyi and Gu Yin were left in the house.

Now I can finally speak quietly for a while, Gu Yin handed him her handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and asked: "That time you said that the reinforcements arrived, I heard people say later, In fact, only a thousand people came?"

At that time, the fine work was still in the army, and the mobilization of large troops would definitely let the emperor get news in advance. Wu Qingyi only asked his confidants to come to support overnight.

More than a thousand people fought against tens of thousands of people, although most of the opponents were palace guards who had never been on the battlefield, and it was not an easy battle.

Fortunately, Gu Yin's method really worked. At the beginning, only half of the people developed symptoms. The longer the battle dragged on, the more people were poisoned. In addition, Wu Qingyi burned the place where they stored food at that time, and the deposed emperor asked him to kill it, which made it a lot easier.

"I didn't ask for credit for you after I returned to Beijing." Wu Qing said apologetically.

At that time, she never thought that she would be his wife, and only thought that the rest of the emperor would escape a part.

Gu Yin shook her head, "I didn't want that credit."

She is a cook, let the world know that she can poison so many people with common ingredients, and must not scare people? Also talk about what to do in the food business.

And now that everyone is a family, there is no need to worry about who is responsible.

Looking at him, he seemed to feel a little unhappy, Gu Yin smiled and said, "Then why don't you give me the reward for your meritorious deeds?"

"It's nature."

The righteous king followed the example of the previous dynasty and did not give him a different surname. , I have never used it at all. When I return to the capital, I will leave it to Wang and Gu Yin to take care of it.

Just now, there was a movement at the door.

It was Gu Ye who called her to go back to sleep after taking a shower.

Gu Yin shook her head amusingly and got up to leave.

When I came out of the house, I saw Gu Ye standing with wet hair and wearing only middle clothes.

Gu Ye smiled and said nothing.

Although the ugly-faced uncle is very likable, but mother, he is still alone for the time being!

Because Uncle Ugly was riding a horse for him and taught him how to ride, he already let his mother speak to him alone for a quarter of an hour!

After wiping his hair, Gu Yin also went to wash.

Gu Ye went to bed only after she had washed up.

He usually moves very quickly, but today he went to bed slowly and grinned.

Gu Yin went to the racecourse in her previous life. After riding for a while, the inner thighs were reddened, and she guessed that he was injured.

Fortunately, they went out with medicine.

"Are your legs frayed?" Gu Yin was about to take off his pants.

Although there are big four-cornered shorts in the pajama pants - Gu Yin asked Wang to make them for them, but Gu Ye blushed and pulled his pants tightly to prevent her from taking them off.

Gu Yin can't do anything about it, but now that there is a man in the family, there is no need to specially invite a male doctor, so she went to the next door again and invited Wu Qingyi over.

Gu Yin stood outside the house and asked Wu Qingyi to check on Gu Ye alone.

This time Gu Ye was no longer embarrassed, and after a while, he giggled from the room.

After a while, Wu Qingyi came out and said apologetically: "It's okay, just a little bit of skin. It's my fault, I didn't expect him to be injured."

When he first joined the army, he was already eighteen or nineteen years old. He was injured when he first learned to ride a horse, and his tight pants were stuck to his thighs. Skin.

But today he has been holding Gu Ye halfway on his arm, but he didn't expect the child's skin to be tender, so he was still injured. But of course it wasn't as serious as he was at the time, just a little bit of oily skin was abraded.

This really made Gu Yin right, Gu Ye's voice came from the room immediately, "Uncle, go to bed early, let's ride a horse together tomorrow."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Wu Qingyi immediately averted her eyes and looked away - her coat was simply draped, revealing a smooth and white neck. So slender and fragile, it seems that as long as it is lightly grasped, it can be played in the palm of your hand.

"Rest early." After saying this, he seemed to be running away.

Gu Yin looked at his back strangely, and was urged by Gu Ye to enter the room, so she went to bed and rested.

Gu Ye rested for one night, and the next day he was alive again. At the end of the month, before they returned to Hanshan Town, he was able to ride a short distance by himself. Of course, it must be Wu Qingyi's presence, otherwise his little **** will suffer again.

Before returning to Hanshan Town, Wang held a small family meeting. The content of the meeting revolved around Wu Qingyi.

Wang felt that the identity of the eldest son could not be revealed.

The return of Jinyi is of course decent, but the current martial arts family is not generally developed, it is more powerful than the high officials in the play.

With such an identity, putting it in this small town is tantamount to throwing water droplets into a hot pot of boiling oil. Who knows if there will be trouble?

And as sung in the play, there are many white-faced tricks around the rich and powerful.

He opened his own door to do business and established a good relationship with the guests from all over the world. What if someone pretended to be familiar with his family and used their old friend's identity to do bad things after they left?

Especially the family of Wang's family is still here. Although the two black-hearted couples are gone, there are still Wang's nephews, nieces, nephews and grandchildren. , I haven't done anything wrong, but times change, people's hearts are unpredictable, and it's hard to guarantee that one day he will be mad, or he will be swayed by others, and something will happen.

I have to say that although Wang is a peasant woman, she still knows how to prevent problems before they happen.

It implicated those who had friendship with Wang Shi and Gu Yin.

Gu Yin is not a person who likes to show her prestige, and of course there is nothing wrong with it.

.

I told the two children again, before returning to town, Wu Qingyi took off the mask, revealing the red scar on his face.

Wang was ready to see him half-faced, and when she saw the red scar on her thumb, she laughed and said: "This is the rumor that can scare away thousands of people. Is it the army's scar? It takes a few steps away, or the eyes are not easy to see, you can't see it at all!"

These words made Wu Qingyi laugh, saying: "This is a rumor on the battlefield, it can't be true."

The scar is not an eye-opener, and if he puts on a heavy suit and wears an ordinary bunt, the more no one will doubt his identity.

At the end of July, the group returned to Hanshan Town.

As soon as the carriage stopped at the gate of Gu's house, Song Shiliu trotted out, "The old lady is finally back! I'm worried about the dead slave!"

When she returned to Batou Village, Song Shiliu wanted to be with them, but she was only a half-old child, so she was not allowed to bring another one, Gu Yin and Wang Shi were afraid that they would not be able to balance it out go.

Gu Yin asked her why she was at home at this hour, Song Shiliu helped her out of the carriage and explained, "Grandpa Zhong has suffered from heat stroke these two days, and this slave has asked the doctor to show him and prescribed medicine. Eat. The shopkeeper asked the servants to keep watch at home, saying that the old lady and the wife should be back in the past two days, and that no one at home is always bad. "

Wang was really exhausted. When she got home, she immediately loosened up. Seeing Song Shiliu rushing to pick up her luggage, she went into the house to see Uncle Zhong, who was suffering from heat stroke.

"The two young masters are black and thin!" Song Shiliu pushed them through the door and did not let them carry their luggage.

In the end, only Wu Qingyi was left, and Song Shiliu didn't recognize him, so she was not polite to him, and asked him to help with the luggage.

As soon as the group walked from the front yard to the back yard, Song Shiliu said, "This eldest brother has worked hard! My wife will settle the cost of the **** later, please stay."

This is going to drive people out.

Although Song Shiliu's words were quite polite, the expression on his face was grinning, and he didn't know where to touch a laundry mallet in front of him, as if saying that he would dare to One step to the backyard, she will fight him!

Gu Yin couldn't help laughing: "Pomegranate, why did you stop him, didn't you realize that he looks like my mother and Wu An?"

Song Shiliu finally stopped showing her teeth and claws, put down the laundry mallet and asked, "Is this the old lady's relative in the country?"

"It's my eldest brother." Wu An looked at her helplessly.

"Your brother is not..."

The Wang family took out the rhetoric that had been negotiated before, saying that he thought he was dead before, but when he came back to his hometown and met him this time, he knew that he was still alive.

"Oh, this slave has eyes but doesn't know what mountain!" Song Shiliu quickly apologized.

Wu Qingyi certainly won't care about such a little girl, and nodding slightly is to reveal this matter.

He really has no discomfort in his heart. He used to think about orphans and widows, and his life must be very unsatisfactory. I am afraid that many sufferings are reluctant to tell him, adding to his sadness.

The little girl in her teens is so alert, obviously she has been trained very well on weekdays.

After a while, to relieve the heat, Gu Yin greeted everyone to eat for the day.

Shiwei Tianwu Market has passed, Gu Yin asked Song Shiliu to send a letter first, and asked Manager Zhou to prepare meals for them, and also informed everyone about the discovery of Wu Qingyi.

"This is a good thing!" After hearing the news forwarded by Song Shiliu, Chef Xu immediately went out and bought two strings of hanging whips, which were immediately placed at the door.

Because she misidentified Wu Qing as a **** person, Song Shiliu felt that she had done something wrong, and wanted to make up for it, and borrowed a gong, accompanied by the sound of crackling firecrackers, she stood at the door and banged Bang the gong.

The guests and nearby residents heard the sound and asked what happened. After I asked, I found out that it was the man from Shiwei Tiandong's family who came back!

In this battle of firecrackers and gongs and drums, Gu Yin and her party were eating for heaven.

"Our boss is not a widow!" Song Shiliu beat the gong and shouted to announce the good news to everyone, "Our boss's man is back!"

When Gu Yin showed up, everyone looked at her and congratulated her.

"Miss Gu is overjoyed, I think you are lucky!"

"Gu Niangzi's craftsmanship is good, the man is back, and someone takes care of it, the business will definitely get better and better!"

Gu Yin's craftsmanship is beyond doubt, but it is much more difficult for women to stand up than men in this world. In particular, some people who are not used to food and have a good business are arranged behind a "widow shop", saying that their shop is full of widows, which is very unlucky!

They are sincerely happy for Gu Yin.

However, the so-called social death scene is nothing more than that!

Gu Yin wanted to run back for a moment, but as soon as she took a step back, her back bumped into Wu Qingyi's arms.

"Be careful." He stretched out his hand to support Gu Yin's waist, then took a step forward and stood in front of her.

At this time, everyone's eyes naturally focused on him.

"This is Mrs. Gu's husband, what a wonderful life!"

"What a handsome and handsome son, Madam Wu and Madam Gu are very lucky!"

Wu Qingyi didn't mind being seen by everyone, and he would nod his head slightly to express his gratitude when everyone praised him.

With his cover, the group finally entered the store.

"Pomegranate you..." Gu Yin looked at her resentfully.

She just asked Song Shiliu to inform the guys, how did she make such a big battle?

Song Shiliu immediately put down the gong and started throwing the pot, "It's the firecrackers and cannonballs that Master Xu bought, I'm just beating the gong!"

Chef Xu immediately said, "I asked the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper did not object!"

Treasurer Zhou coughed lightly and smiled awkwardly: "I think it's a big happy event for the family to reunite again. If one doesn't look at them, the movement will make a big noise."

"Forget it." Gu Yin helped her forehead helplessly, so she simply asked the man to write a notice and post it.

As soon as the notice of "The owner is happy, 20% off today" was posted, even though it was a hot afternoon, many people came in at once.

Afterwards, even Master Wen Er heard about it, and hurriedly sent a storyteller to add a storytelling session.

Seeing that Mr. Wen Er knew, Gu Yin simply brought Wu Qingyi to see Mr. Wen.

Mr. Wen was still worried about her when she heard the news. Her man came back, but she was obviously different to the rebel general before. After the general returned to the capital, there was no news from him. Guess it wasn't a good thing. It's better to live with the scumbag husband.

Of course, he also has to meet people to see if the other party is worth entrusting, otherwise even if they got married earlier, the old man can't watch Gu Yin and the unsightly people live.

What Gu Yin said, Gu Yin does not know, anyway, since the fight this time, the old man has become more affectionate towards Wu Qing.

The news spread like wildfire, and before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole town did not know that Gu Yin was no longer a widow.

Sales moon cakes again, this time the sales of moon cakes have increased a little more than last year, firstly, the reputation of Shiweitian is getting better and better, more and more people know his home, secondly, it is a festival Yes, some sophisticated people used to be taboo on the reputation of the "widow shop", but now they don't have to be taboo anymore, and naturally they have become the patrons of food for the sky.

Leave Gu Yin and the others too busy to touch the ground, this time everyone is much more relaxed. Wu Qingyi is very capable. Although he doesn't know how to cook, his strength, the rough work of chopping wood and carrying water, is easier than anyone else.

Sometimes when Gu Yin sees him busy, she feels very sad.

Sometimes she asked for help, or hired helpers.

Wu Qingyi said no, and said: "You and your mother can do these rough jobs, why can't I do them?"

After eight years of absence, when he arrived at Hanshan Town, he realized how much he had missed.

No one likes to work, and he is no exception, but doing these things makes him feel closer to those missing years.

"It's just that I haven't done a lot of work for a long time. Look at this pot, I forgot that you said that you should keep the oil layer and not brush it too clean." Wu Qingyi said seriously, " If you really want to help, you might as well be an overseer, and if you don't do well, I'll go back to work."

Just as Mr. Wang walked into the back kitchen, he almost didn't laugh when he heard this.

In the kitchen, these are simple and rough jobs that individuals will do, and assign a supervisor?

And when I was at home, Wu Qingyi did all the rough work at home from a young age, until he left home at the age of 20, and he could forget all about it in more than eight years? It's a real bullshit!

Wang was about to mumble that her son was stupid in the war, but seeing that her usually very smart daughter-in-law really nodded, moved a small bench and sat next to him, "Then let me help Your palms and eyes."

Two fools, they can really play together! Wang shi turned his toes, and went out with disgust and laughter.

…

This day, the food is open for the day and it is open until it is dark. After eating the evening food, Mr. Xu did not go home after grinding his teeth with Mrs. Wang, but left.

Others do not know, long before the Wang family set off back to Batou Village, they had agreed to formally match Gu Yin and Xu Qingchuan after returning.

Mrs. Xu also greeted Xu Qingchuan long ago. Although Xu Qingchuan was not as excited and happy as she and Mrs. Wang, she was still as indifferent as ever.

But his own son knows that he has no objection, and he has not said the big truth of "no fame, what is home?", obviously he also has that kind of heart.

The Xu family has a good time. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, let the two children watch the lanterns again, cultivate their feelings first, and walk around more frequently when they are in the capital. In February of the following year, Xu Qingchuan was admitted to the jinshi. You can do happy things.

Now that Wu Qingyi is back, this matter is naturally yellow, although Xu is also happy for Wang, but it is plain that there is no such a good daughter-in-law, and Xu's mood is naturally a bit low.

Walking to the door of the store, Mr. Xu saw Gu Ye being surrounded by a group of children talking.

Little Fatty sucked his nose and said enviously, "Brother Ye's father is so tall and strong, can he hold you on top of his head all the time?"

Gu Ye still doesn't call him Dad, but he doesn't mind when others call Wu Qingyi that, otherwise, it always feels weird when people say "your mother and your uncle".

"Yes, he even took me to ride on the way back. I can ride now."

"Wow!" The children are envious. Most of them have only seen horses on the street in their lives, never touched them, let alone know how to ride a horse.

"Brother Ye's father fought the emperor with the emperor!" Fan Jinsong puffed out his chest proudly, "What does it mean to know how to ride a horse!"

Gu Ye is about to leave Hanshan Town, and a new child king is about to be born, especially one month after Gu Ye left the town, a child has "ambition" and wants to be in him Before leaving, he pressed him down so that he could take the top position. Hearing the words, he said, "What are you doing to conquer the world, isn't Ye Ge's father an ordinary person now? He is no longer a general! Have you never heard of the word "recommendation"? How can I remove my armor?"

Gu Ye kept his mother's words in mind and couldn't disclose his uncle's identity, but he didn't like to be contemptuous when others mentioned him, and immediately said: "Although he is not a general, he is in There are also errands in the capital."

Everyone asked him what he was doing?

Gu Ye tried his best to recall.

Before, Mrs. Wang asked Wu Qingyi, if he didn't fight, would he have nothing to do? It is said that military generals in troubled times are highly used, and civil officials are popular in peaceful and prosperous times.

Wu Qingyi said no, "Although I don't fight, I still need to train soldiers. Currently, I am also in charge of the imperial guards in the palace."

In charge of the palace guards, that is, the emperor entrusted his life and wealth to him. This kind of errand can only be done by the cronies of the cronies.

The Wang family didn't understand that, so he laughed at that time: "Okay, show the emperor the gate! The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, if anyone dares to look down on you, you won't even let the gate of the palace. He's in!"

So after thinking about it, Gu Ye said, "When you look at the gate in the capital, you have to listen to him when you go in and out."

The kids cheered again.

Beijing! They only heard good places from people, not to mention them, even their parents, grandparents, they have never been there in their entire lives!

I heard that it is a hundred times more prosperous than Hanshan Town, what to eat and drink is fun, only they dare not think about it, there is no such thing. To be able to watch the gate there, and to listen to him when entering and leaving, is really very capable and powerful!

Mrs. Xu listened to Yu Shi's heart and was broken.

Not to mention watching the gate in the capital, even in the palace, that is just a good job for ordinary people.

But her family Qingchuan was admitted to the jinshi exam, so why did she lose to the son of the Wu family's gatekeeper?

It's God's fault, let Gu Yin marry the son of the Wu family first, otherwise she will definitely fight for her son!

When I saw Wang again the next day, Xu's eyes were full of resentment.

In fact, Mr. Wang was also a little guilty. Mrs. Xu had melted one of her favorite gold bracelets that had been hidden for many years, and said that she would give Gu Yin a head in the future.

But when her son came back, she definitely couldn't push out such a good daughter-in-law as Gu Yin, and she could only be sorry for Xu's gold bracelet.

Of course, Mrs. Xu did not embarrass Mrs. Wang in the end, but said bitterly: "If your son dares to be bad to his wife, I will, I will..."

She "just" for a while, and didn't say why.

Seeing that she was willing to take the initiative to speak, Wang Shi was delighted, and immediately took her chubby hand and assured: "Don't worry, there is a day when I will hang him first, and then hang him. His father! He disciplined them all, he definitely didn't follow me!"

The British government in the capital, thousands of miles away, Wu Zhong sneezed fiercely.

After sneezing, Wu Zhong was embarrassed and irritably repelled the servants in the whole room.

Father and son are rough, they only send letters to each other for half a year every day, but this time it's strange. After only one month of going out, they sent letters back.

I thought it was a daily greeting, but this time he saw something else!

After reading it quickly, Wu Zhong became more and more dazed, and read it over and over again several times, and slapped the conscious half of his face, only then did he know that he was not dreaming!
