The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

"tired."

Qin Di nodded, pondering that it would be better to have someone come over with a shoulder, anyway, this palace doesn't have to be visited today.

However, before she could say anything, Gu Zezhi stepped forward and walked in front of her, bowed slightly, and said warmly, "I'll carry you on my back."

Carry her?

! Qin Di simply wondered if he had hallucinations. Isn't he afraid that the servants of the palace will see it when the sky is clear?

Seemingly aware of her hesitation, he turned his face slightly, looked back at her, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Are you shy again?"

The ghost is "shy again"! As soon as Qin Di's mind became hot, he lay down on his generous back, put his arms around his neck, and responded to him with practical actions.

Anyway, he is not afraid of others saying he is afraid of his wife, what is he afraid of!

Gu Zezhi supported her leg and walked forward with her back steadily.

His body was warm, like a big stove, and his body exuded the incense scent that he often used, the scent like green bamboo, light and refreshing.

Qin Di was a little embarrassed at first, but after being carried by him for a while, he didn't see anyone along the way.

She didn't care if anyone in the corner she couldn't see was peeking at them, anyway.

She lay down on Gu Zezhi's back, and her body relaxed.

The silk sash on his hair fell down and just touched her face. She felt a little itchy, and withdrew the hand that had been around his neck, wanting to throw the silk sash towards him, but when The moment Si Luan reached between her fingers, her hand froze, and only then did she realize that the Si Luan he used to tie his hair was hers.

The silk thread that was still in her hair yesterday was on his head today.

Qin Di felt like his heart was filled with honey, sweet, and couldn't help but think of a word: knot hair.

She wrapped the long silk sash in circles with her slender fingers, feeling like something was lingering lingeringly around her heart.

She whispered softly, "Zezhi."

It was the first time she called his name.

"Um."

He responded with a smile.

"After returning home tomorrow, would you accompany me to pick out a few books from Shuhaizhai?"

"it is good."

"good!"

She leaned over and kissed him on his jade-white earlobe, and found that he trembled slightly, a crisp smile escaped from his mouth, a little complacent and a little coquettish.

Gu Zezhi only paused for a short time, and then continued to walk forward. On his handsome face, the corners of his lips were raised, and his eyebrows were bright.

Does this girl think he can't do anything to her now?

Thinking of going back home, Gu Zezhi didn't do anything to her after all. That night, Qin Di had the first good night's sleep in three days. When he woke up the next day, he just felt refreshed.

Early in the morning, Qin Zeyu came to pick them up from the Qin Mansion. As soon as he came, he called Gu Zezhi for his brother-in-law, which was more affectionate than Qin Di.

Qin Di, as the princess of the county, was given a Zhu Lun cart by the Ministry of Rites. When she returned home today, she also traveled in a Zhu Lun cart. When they arrived, they saw Qin Zening greet him in person outside the Hou residence.

Before he said anything, Qin Zeyu had already shouted loudly: "Brother, what are you doing here?

I said, I will definitely pick up my sister and brother-in-law on time. "

Qin Zeyu felt that his brother did not trust him too much.

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb."

Qin Zening's eyes twitched, and he almost didn't give the bear child a shudder.

At this time, Qin Di got off the Zhu Lun cart with the help of Gu Zezhi, and couldn't help but laugh.

Her bright face was filled with a bright smile, her complexion was ruddy, and she was full of energy.

Seeing her smile came from the heart, it was obvious that the past few days had been going well, Qin Zening finally let go of his heart, and there was a smile on his face, and said, "Xiaoji, come in, grandma and everyone are here. waiting for you."

Today is the day when the three dynasties go back to the house, and let the new uncle go to the woman's house to recognize her relatives.

Therefore, today the patriarch, clan elders and other relatives of the Qin clan arrived at the Hou Mansion early in the morning and are now gathering in the main hall.

Qin Di and Gu Zezhi first went to offer tea to Mrs. Qin Tai, and then Qin Zening personally led Gu Zezhi to recognize them one by one.

After recognizing their relatives, the Qin Zening brothers took Gu Zezhi to the front, while Qin Di stayed to accompany Mrs. Qin Tai and all the daughters of the Qin family.

The house was full of fragrant temples.

After the men were gone, the air immediately became more lively, and the women were chatting non-stop.

An elderly lady looked at Qin Di with a smile and praised: "Our sister Di is really a beautiful bride."

Mrs. Qin Tai always liked to hear these kind words, she was so happy as if someone was complimenting her, she smiled with a deep wrinkle at the corner of her eyes, and said, "I look at her and she looks good.

This child is fortunate, and he has a destiny on the day of the wedding. "

Just like asking for the title of the crown prince, it needs to be approved by the emperor, and the princess of the county should have been asked by Gu Zezhi himself to ask for the title for his wife. Like Qin Di, he is the princess of the dignified county. There are several women with such honor. can have!

The other female relatives also echoed incessantly, rushing out as if they were obedient and didn't want money.

Originally, the Marquis of Zhongyi was the most honorable line of the Qin family, and Qin Di was married well, so they naturally wanted to have a good relationship with Qin Di, and it would always be good to have more help in the future!

Qin Di just pursed his lips and smiled.

The house became more and more lively, and everyone's faces were full of joy.

Mrs. Qin Tai looked around at these relatives and sighed in her heart. Today, the rest of the Qin family came, as did the third room. Only Qin Sheng and the others did not come. It seemed that they wanted to completely break with the long room.

To be honest, she originally had a glimmer of hope, and wanted to use today to make Qin Sheng and Qin Di reconciled... Now, this hope has been shattered like a bubble.

fair enough.

She said to herself in her heart.

She is getting older, and since she was "sick" because of the Su family not long ago, her body has deteriorated a lot, and she is afraid that she will not have a good life for a few years. If there is no harmony, then it can only be done.

After going through the affairs of Su Shi, Qin Zhun and Qin Xin, Mrs. Qin Tai also understood that nothing can be forced.

Mrs. Qin Tai didn't show anything on her face, and talked with Qin Di and other female relatives affectionately.

From start to finish, the scene was full of joy.

After having lunch at the Qin family, Qin Di and Gu Zezhi left. However, halfway through the journey, Qin Di realized that they did not go back to the manor or to Shuhaizhai, but went out of the city.

"where are we going?"

Qin Di asked curiously.

Gu Zezhi said: "Send the incense."

People at that time either believed in faith or believed in Buddhism. After Qin Di came to ancient times, he was used to it long ago, and he only thought that he would accompany Gu Zezhi to the incense.

When they reached the Guanyin Temple, the Zhu Lun Cha stopped.

A scent of incense sticks unique to the temple came along with the wind and penetrated into Qin Ji's nose. In front of him was a quaint temple, and clusters of lush tree crowns protruded from the bright yellow wall, swaying against the cold wind.

The two of them walked into the temple, and some people walked out of the temple. The two girls walked while talking:

"Sister Wang, I just hope that I will come all the way here today to ask the goddess Guanyin, and the goddess can hear my heart."

"Sister, don't worry, the Guanyin Bodhisattva here is the most effective in seeking marriage.

Look, my second uncle's cousin Li turned out to have a very difficult marriage. After coming here last month to ask for a marriage contract, the marriage was negotiated within a few days. "

"Then I'll ask you for auspicious words."

The two of them walked past Qin Di and Gu Zezhi, and saw that they were wearing the same green lotus-colored clothes, and Qin Di was wearing a woman's hair style. I couldn't stop looking at the two of them, I just felt that this pair of beautiful people was like walking down from the painting, one handsome and the other pretty, the couple came hand in hand, as if the stars and the moon set off each other, with a high bearing, watching Brilliant, perfect match.

The two girls couldn't help but bit each other's ears, and vaguely heard words such as "newly married", "returned vow" and so on drifting in the wind.

Just as the two girls just said, this Guanyin Temple is very effective, but its effectiveness is famous for its marriage lottery, just like the "Three Lives Stone" of Lingyin Temple. Jiming Temple has a marriage temple. Like the reputation of Guanyin, most of the pilgrims who come to this Guanyin Temple come to ask Guanyin for marriage and peach blossoms.

Last time Qin Di came with Yun Jiaoniang.

But at that time, she was already engaged, and she just came along to join in the fun.

Is it possible that Gu Zezhi also came here to seek marriage, so he came here to repay?

Imagining that scene, Qin Di became silly alone.

Although it was the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, it did not affect the incense of the Guanyin Temple in the slightest. All the pilgrims could see, and 90% of the pilgrims were women. The younger ones came to seek marriage, and the older ones accompanied their daughters. Or juniors such as granddaughters come to seek marriage.

As a result, Gu Zezhi's arrival inevitably seemed to stand out from the crowd. The eyes of those women and girls all turned to him, and their eyes shone with brilliance.

Some people will keep their voices down, while some people can't control the volume at all, a middle-aged woman's slightly sharp voice clearly penetrated into Qin Di's ears: "NanNan, look, that little lady must be Bring your husband to repay your vows."

Qin Ji: "..."

The middle-aged woman was still talking: "Nan, later, you have to ask the goddess Guanyin to be sincere, and also ask for a beautiful husband like this, even if you look at it, you will be in a good mood."

Qin Di couldn't help but went to see Gu Zezhi, well, he looks really good!

The corners of her lips lifted up again, revealing a pair of shallow pear eddies.

She followed Gu Zezhi lightly and walked in, and came to the bottom of a vigorous century-old osmanthus tree. The lush branches were covered with many red ropes making wishes.

Under the tree, dozens of girls surrounded the sturdy trunk of the osmanthus tree, all struggling to throw the red rope with a wooden sign at one end to the branch.

Legend has it that as long as the red rope is hung on a branch, a good relationship can be obtained. The higher the branch is, the greater the blessing and the better the marriage.

Standing here at this moment, Qin Di suddenly knew why Gu Zezhi came here.

The last time she and Yun Jiao Niang came here, because they were already engaged, they didn't ask for a marriage sign, but they still threw a wishing red rope onto the tree.

Yun Jiao Niang has practiced martial arts since she was a child. She is stronger than her, and her head is better than her. Naturally, her throw is much higher than her.

She also mentioned this matter to Qin Zeyu casually, but didn't tell anyone else, so it's obvious who Gu Zezhi heard from.

Qin Zeyu can really tell Gu Zezhi everything.

In his thoughts, Qin Di watched Gu Zezhi go to add money for sesame oil, and then came over with a red rope with a wooden sign.

He chose a position under the tree, grabbed the red rope with wooden signs hanging at both ends in his hand and weighed it. Qin Di saw sharply that the wooden signs at both ends of the red rope had their names written on them. The handwriting is vigorous, with a bit of flying in the thick, and at first glance, it is from Gu Zezhi's hand.

When the other girls around saw Gu Zezhi's posture, they knew what he was going to do, and they all stopped their movements and were stunned.

It has always been women who will throw the red rope under this osmanthus tree, and this is the first time they have seen a man do this.

In the eyes of everyone, the red rope in Gu Zezhi's hand was gently and skillfully thrown up, flying higher and higher, and accurately hung on the highest branch of the osmanthus tree.

When the wind blew, the red ropes hanging on the branches swayed in the air with the branches and leaves, and the wooden signs collided in twos and threes, making a crisp sound.

Qin Di looked up and saw the two wooden plaques with their names written on the highest part colliding with each other with the traction of the red rope.

She reached out and lifted his index finger, shook it, and then folded her hands together, lowered her eyelids, and looked at the osmanthus tree as if she was praying for blessings.

Gu Zezhi also put his palms together, praying silently in his heart, completely unaware that Qin Di quietly opened one eye, in the black jade pupil, as if a little golden light was shining on the clear lake, his smile followed. Ripples of the lake rippling.

After the two prayed for blessings, they left hand in hand. The girls looked at the pair with envious eyes, and someone whispered, "After I get married, I will bring my husband to repay the vow!"

The other people nodded their heads with deep conviction, only in this way can they be sincere and find a good man like that beautiful lady!

When Qin Di and Gu Zezhi came out of the Guanyin Temple, the sun had already set in the west.

Gu Zezhi accompanies Qin Di to the carriage, and takes her slender shoulders and makes her lean against his arms.

After a day of tossing around, Qin Di was also a little tired. He leaned on him lazily, rubbed his head in his arms, and put his cold hands into his sleeves, drawing warm body temperature from him. .

Gu Zezhi kissed her on the top of her hair, and suddenly said, "After the new year, we have to go back to Western Xinjiang."

Qin Di answered absentmindedly, greedily crawled his cold fingers a little further into his sleeve, and let out a satisfied sigh.

In this cold winter and twelfth lunar month, Gu Zezhi is really a human-shaped heater that doesn't need charcoal fire, which is great.

Gu Zezhi was a little itchy from her restless fingers, so he simply let her rest on his lap, and then covered her cold hands with both hands.

The imperial doctor said that because of her suffering in those years, her foundation was weak, her qi and blood were deficient, and her hands and feet would only get cold in winter.

In the past year, although Empress Wei and Qin's family have given her a good boost, it is not a matter of taking care of her body overnight, it has to be taken slowly for two or three years...

Gu Zezhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said again, "We went to the Western Border this time for King Yu."

Qin Di, whose eyes were half-closed and half-squinted on his knees, suddenly opened his eyes.

Gu Zezhi continued: "After the year, there will be a battle between the imperial court and King Yu."

Qin Di's drowsiness disappeared completely, his almond eyes were clear and black, and he looked at him seriously.

Seen from this angle, her eyes are bigger, and her eyelashes are as thick as a fan.

Gu Zezhi continued calmly and said, "The imperial court will have a fight against King Yu, and Yuzhou can't continue to grow up."

"A few years ago, because of the bandits in Beiyan, Xijiang, Minzhou, and Jinzhou, the court really had no spare power, and now it is considered a little spare..."

It's just a little spare.

Although he had collected a lot of money from the pirates in Minzhou in the first half of the year, as well as from Beiyan, he and the emperor knew very well that it was far from enough to maintain the battle with King Yu with these money. of.

But now is the best time to wait. If you miss this opportunity, you will have to spend more effort when you want to clean up Yuzhou next time.

"If the imperial court wants to take Yuzhou, it must use tactics."

Take Yuzhou at the least cost.

Whether it was Concubine Fang or Gu Xi, they were all for this inevitable battle.

Gu Zezhi was still smiling, but his eyes became sharper.

Qin Di answered casually: "So, we are going to the Western Xinjiang?"

Qin Di's words were completely followed by Gu Ze's previous words. In fact, she didn't understand at all. What was the connection between winning Yuzhou and their going to Western Xinjiang.

Gu Zezhi blinked at her, "As a son, isn't it logical to take your new daughter-in-law back to pay respects to your father and king?"

Qin Ji: "..."

What she can be sure of is that there is definitely a conspiracy in the golden thigh, there must be!

Facts have proved that people who are targeted by golden thighs often have no good end! Qin Di silently broke a cold sweat for the person he was staring at.

Gu Zezhi leaned down and kissed the corner of her lips, and said in a warm voice, "Don't worry."

He wouldn't let her fall into a trap. It was this long journey that he was afraid that he would tire her.

His warm voice revealed a slightly dull charm in this small carriage.

Qin Di made an "um" and casually played with the suet jade pendant he tied around his waist, not at all worried.

With Gu Zezhi here, what does she have to worry about!

Anyway, what she couldn't think of, he must have thought of it.

Qin Di moved to a more comfortable position on his lap, and said, "Are you going to leave after the new year?"

Seeing her sparse brows, Gu Zezhi's eyes were full of smiles, and her face was reflected in his pupils, "There is one more thing to do first, and then we will set off."

"Then I'll let Du Ruo start packing as soon as possible, so as not to be in a hurry."

Qin Di didn't hesitate at all, and answered cheerfully, "That's right."

She said, propping up her upper body slightly with her elbows, "How many days do you have during the Chinese New Year?"

Gu Zezhi said: "Seven days."

Qin Di stroked his palm and said, "That's right, I have a hot spring village, how about we choose two days to live there for a while?"

This hot spring village was bought cheaply from Qin Zhun at the beginning, and finally gave her as a dowry. Now the weather is cold and it is suitable for hot springs.

"Listen to you."

Gu Zezhi was like that woman singing along with her husband again, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became charming.

Qin Di's ears were inexplicably warm, and he always felt that he had thought of going somewhere he shouldn't have thought.

She explained something, and felt that she was trying to cover up what she said.

Forget it, she doesn't know anything.

She started to break the jar again, closed her eyes and rested, but she seemed to hear someone's low smile, and then felt a soft and hot touch on her lips...

The sound of horses' hooves and the sound of the wheels of the wheel overwhelmed the subtle humming and the screeching sound of the clothes being rubbed together.

As dusk approached, the sky gradually darkened.

The emperor only gave Gu Zezhi three days of marriage leave, and the next day, the 14th day of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Zezhi went back to work.

Qin Di was not idle either. She pinched the corner of Mrs. Xiao's clothes, who was planning to go back to Xiao's mansion, and pretended to be weak.

Her pitiful appearance made Mrs. Xiao feel distressed for a while. Thinking of her background, she felt that this child was not easy.

So, Mrs. Xiao stayed behind, taught her housekeeping, accounting, imperial court, etc., and took her to take care of all the properties of the county king's mansion.

Gu Zezhi had just been ennobled, and Duanwang's mansion was not divided. His estate was very thin. Qin Di calculated it and found that the estate of the county prince's mansion was not as much as her dowry.

Golden thighs are so poor! Qin Di nestled on the beauty's couch holding the account book and snickered happily.

When Gu Zezhi came back, all he saw was the little girl smiling like a flower.

As soon as he entered the small study, Du Ruo waited for a few maids and then retired wisely, so as not to grow needles.

Gu Zezhi also sat down beside the beauty's couch, took the account book in her hand, and threw it aside at will, "It's dark, be careful if you lose your eyes."

Qin Di rushed over, lay down on his broad back, put his small chin on his shoulder, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen it for a long time, am I such a diligent person?"

She said this with confidence.

She is not like golden thighs, but toiled.

Thinking of his life of crowing every day and sleeping less than three hours every night, Qin Di looked at him with sympathy and pity, patted him on the shoulder grandly, and said with a smile, "You Yes, don't work too hard.

I will take care of you in the future! "

Gu Zezhi: "..."

He smiled happily, even his chest and shoulders shaking slightly.

Qin Di only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and was caught off guard by him on the beautiful couch. She almost exclaimed, but thinking that Du Ruo and the others were still outside, she gritted her teeth and didn't dare to make a sound.

Gu Zezhi buried his head between her neck and smelled the faint fragrance on her body. It was obviously the same incense, but it seemed to have a bit of sweetness on her body.

After a while, she heard him say in a low voice, "Okay."

OK, let you raise it!

However, Qin Di regretted it.

She shouldn't make such a big talk, this person has such a big appetite, how can she have the ability to support him!

Qin Di slept until the third day of the day. Usually, she didn't know when Gu Zezhi got up. Occasionally, when she was half asleep, she noticed movement beside her.

The same is true on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. She slept peacefully, but the court was not very peaceful.

Early in the morning, the imperial court received a package from Yuzhou. King Yu righteously claimed that Gu Xi and Duanrou County Master and his party did not return to Yuzhou. The emperor was deceived by a traitor and detained them. In addition, King Yu also stated that he was absolutely He did not send someone to set fire to Tai'an Palace, but a traitor was framing him, intending to provoke the relationship between the imperial court and Yuzhou.

When the emperor was in the morning, Lei Ting angrily slapped the table and scolded: "Open your eyes and talk nonsense! King Yu clearly wants to cover up Gu Xi and clean himself up."

Regarding the question of Yuzhou and King Yu, in the past, there were different opinions in the court, but this time, all the ministers were surprisingly united, and they all agreed. They felt that King Yu was really shameless, and Gu Xi had long since returned to Yuzhou with Concubine Fang. , King Yu actually wanted to rely on the emperor.

Before the seal was sealed, the emperor issued an edict, announcing the world, scolding King Yu for his unrighteousness, concealing evil intentions, and so on.

Under the deliberate indulgence of the imperial court, this incident spread widely in the capital, and all the blame was directed at Prince Yu and his son.

From the common people to the scholars and scholars, they were filled with righteous indignation, and they talked a lot in the streets and in the teahouses and restaurants:

"King Yu is clearly framed and blamed!"

"That is, King Yu asked his son to come to the capital to stir up the storm. I think it must have some sinister intentions!"

"That's it.

It was clearly King Yu who let his son set fire to save Concubine Fang, and now he has to pour dirty water on the emperor, it's really insidious and cunning! "

"Hmph, I think it's ambitious, don't have any plans."

"..."

The voices of various discussions and speculations have not subsided for several days, and there is a tendency to intensify.
