Rebirth: The first daughter-in-law

In the early morning at the villa, the snowflakes had stopped. Although the villa was surrounded by hot springs, the cold air had not dissipated.

After opening the floor-to-ceiling glazed windows, there is not only a large hot spring pool, but also a crystal clear water pool. Not far from the pool, there is a large lake. The weather is so cold, but the lake is not frozen.

The ice is fast, like a pool of blue waves, reflecting everything here.

Xie Jingya's sleep has always been light and she wakes up earlier.

During such a quiet time, she ignored the cold and walked toward the lake alone, quietly admiring the beautiful winter scenery.

I don't know when, Gu Haiyuan actually followed her. When she turned back, Gu Haiyuan stepped forward and put a big cloak behind her. Then he turned to the front of her and handed the cloak to her.

She tied it up, and finally put the brim of the cloak on her head.

"The morning dew is heavy and the cold is tight."

"When did you come?" Xie Jingya was concerned about when he started following her.

However, Gu Haiyuan flicked her forehead with his finger, "How could I be willing to let you catch a cold for too long?"

The implication is that he only appeared for a short time.

When Xie Jingya heard this, she couldn't help but feel shy again. The feeling of being watched and cared about by someone at all times made her enjoy and feel anxious at the same time.

Gu Haiyuan took out another thing from his arms, put it on Xie Jingya's hand, and said softly: "Your hand is cold, warm it with Tang Pozi!"

What Tang Pozi warms is not her hands, but her heart.

Although she pretended to be calm when she faced him, her heart was already in chaos.

"Thank you!" she said softly, with a tenderness in her tone that even she didn't know she had.

In this way, the two of them walked side by side, quietly, no one spoke, but it was as quiet as the lake, beautiful and clear.

After walking more than half a circle around the lake, Gu Haiyuan asked, "When are you planning to return home?"

Xie Jingya stopped and replied: "It should be after breakfast tomorrow."

"Then what are the plans for today?" Gu Haiyuan continued to ask.

Xie Jingya smiled softly, pursed her bright red lips, and said, "Grandma said that she would go to the temple below to offer incense and pray for blessings today."

"Do you want to go?" Gu Haiyuan just asked her what she thought.

Xie Jingya nodded, then shook her head, which made Gu Haiyuan a little surprised. Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Xie Jingya burst into laughter.

When Gu Haiyuan saw her smile, he was slightly lost in thought. He had seen her beauty a lot, but this was the first time for her to be so innocent and playful.

"Going to the temple to offer incense to the Bodhisattvas is a virtuous thing to do, but I don't want to spend most of the day there." Xie Jingya told her truthfully what she was thinking.

Gu Haiyuan smiled and said, "I'll ask Chuchen to accompany you to the temple. After I finish offering incense, I'll take you two to the mountains for a look. Do you want to?"

"If there are no good things on the mountain, I won't go there." Xie Jingya asked him playfully.

Gu Haiyuan said with a hint of mystery, "You will know when you go."

Xie Jingya raised her head and looked at the mountains of Xishan. This is only a small part of Xishan. There are three mountains in Xishan. One is mainly the Jingcheng Academy and the Jingcheng Women's Academy, and the other is the Forbidden Mountain. The royal family sometimes goes there.

While exploring, the third place is temples and hot spring resorts.

"Don't worry, even though it's freezing and snowy, it won't be dangerous." He explained because he was afraid that she would worry.

Xie Jingya believed in what he arranged and nodded to him.

Tiantan Garden is very large, and Gu Haiyuan patiently walked with her for a long time, carefully introducing to her the scenery she walked through, as well as the changes here throughout the year.

"Do you come here often?" Xie Jingya asked him.

Gu Haiyuan nodded, "I came here a lot when I was a child. At that time, my father and mother brought me here, and more often than not, my grandmother and grandfather brought me here. In my impression, my grandmother and grandfather were very loving. They are the most beautiful people I have ever seen.

The most loving couple ever.”

After hearing about the loving couple, Xie Jingya glanced at Gu Haiyuan secretly.

"This place was specially built by my grandfather for my grandmother. It took ten years." Gu Haiyuan looked around and sighed, "At that time, I often saw my grandfather accompanying my grandmother writing and reading, listening to the rain and admiring the snow. Because I

As a child, they never tabooed me. Sometimes my grandmother would tease me and say that when I grow up, I will be as loving as them to my wife. I responded very quickly at that time."

When he said this, he just looked at her without blinking.

"I basically practiced martial arts here since I was young. The days at that time were very happy, but this kind of life lasted for less than a year. Later, the war broke out. My grandfather, my father, and I

My uncles all died on the battlefield, and my grandmother supported the Duke of Jin in that almost desperate environment."

Xie Jingya gently stretched out her hand and held him, the warmth in her hand melting him.

"Three years after they died, I was thrown into the army. I was only eight years old at that time. When I went to the army, although there were several skilled guards around me, I didn't feel the fear in my heart.

Young, but when I think of the tragic death of my relatives, I must not be afraid, I must find out why they suffered such a tragic defeat."

"Did you rarely smile from that time on?" In Xie Jingya's impression, she rarely saw Gu Haiyuan smile. The few times he smiled, Xie Jingya felt that the smile was as comfortable as the white clouds in the sky.

.

"After experiencing that incident, there were very few things that made me laugh. Gradually, I forgot to laugh."

Xie Jingya could imagine that almost all the most important men of the Duke of Jin died in that battle, and those who came back alive were also disabled. For example, Mr. Gu, although he came back alive in that war, he lost his legs.

After experiencing such an incident, Gu Haiyuan must have grown up at ten times the speed of his peers, and at a young age he had to go through things that adults endured.

"When you went to the army, didn't your grandmother and mother object?" Xie Jingya asked him.

Gu Haiyuan thoughtfully said: "My grandmother is very strong at heart, but after this series of things happened, she told the three of us brothers that one of us must go to the army to find out the truth about the war, and

I went there on my own initiative."

Hearing what he said, Xie Jingya's heart felt so soft that it ached, and she held his hand tightly.

Gu Haiyuan held her back, and gently stroked the few broken hairs that fell on her forehead with his other hand, and said softly: "Although those days were painful, tiring and scary, after going through those days

After that, a different kind of spirit came over me, and this spirit has always been with me and I am not afraid of anything."

It was precisely because of that period of hard work that he became the Gu Haiyuan he was.
