Blissful Days After Widowhood

Gu Yin bent her lips, holding the handkerchief and reaching out to wipe the sweat for him.

Wu Qingyi closed her eyes slightly, enjoying her service comfortably.

The coaxing people laughed beside them, and Wu Qingyi, whose sweat was wiped away, turned to look at them, and said to Gu Yin: "There is a lot of smoke and dust in the open space, you go back to the stand."

Gu Yin nodded, "Then go back and change your clothes, and be careful not to catch a cold."

The two finished talking next to each other, and walked side by side to the stands before they separated.

The people who were booing laughed again, laughing and laughing, and I don't know who said: "If only I had a daughter-in-law too. I will treat her like a general treats his wife. OK!"

Then they fell silent.

A group of rough men who have been busy with Wu Qingyi for a long time, look at me, I look at you, and finally there is only a wry smile on their faces - they don't even have a daughter-in-law! Why bother to coax the general and the general's wife to show their affection, isn't this self-inflicted!

After the victory and defeat, the night was a lively bonfire party.

Gu Yin is very particular about how to deal with what kind of meat, she has already learned from shopkeeper Zhou.

Others that can't be eaten are either set on fire and smoked, or smeared with salt to make bacon.

When fully cooked, place the clot in cold water to cool it down. The blood clots produced in this way are no different from the ones that were bought. After cutting into pieces, put them in the chili soup base, and then put all kinds of wild vegetables, and that's it.

At first, Mrs. Wang was afraid that Gu Yin would be tired, and said that she was just going out to play, just take a bite, and she didn't need to do anything else.

After listening to Gu Yin, knowing that the steps are really not difficult, Wang did not stop her, only said that she will cook this dish, and Gu Yin will touch it when the chili soup base is finally fried.

Gu Yin was still in charge of roasting bacon and cured meat, so she let Wang go.

Song Shiliu had to follow Wang Shiliu to help, and Wang Shi even rushed to her, saying that Song Shiliu was not born when she was working, it was just a little work, and no one needed to do it.

Song Shiliu stayed by Gu Yin's side to help.

Not long after, Gu Yin was busy with the work at hand, and went to stir-fry the chili soup base, and together with Wang Shi, made a big pot of hairy blood.

The oily barbecue, the red hair and blood, and the newly made pot of delicious vegetable rice

Wu Zhong and Wu An sat down at the table first. Since they were only eating for their own family, they didn't pay much attention to the rules. The father and son set up chopsticks first.

Wang shi came over with a meal, and when they saw that they were about to eat the blood, he reached out and patted the back of their hands.

"This dish is spicy, one of you is in poor health and the other is young, so you can't touch it!"

Being taught a lesson by his wife, Wu Zhong obediently put down his chopsticks.

My father and I both ate it, and it's fine."

Just as Gu Yin and Wu Qingyi also came over, a trace of unnaturalness flashed on Wang's face, and she turned round and said: "You also said that it was an early adopter, and it's now and then. All of these prey were brought back by your brother, so naturally you have to eat closely with him first."

Wu Qingyi was about to open his mouth to say that he had brought back a lot of things, and he had enough to eat.

But Mr. Wang had already brought a bowl of vegetables to Wu Zhong and Wu An, and took the two of them to another camp to eat, leaving him and Gu Yin to eat alone.

It is a good thing that the two of them can be alone, so Wu Qingyi said nothing.

Half of the barbecue was divided by the Wang family, but the rest of the big pot of hair and blood was still untouched, and the two of them naturally couldn't finish it.

There is no shortage of barbecued meat in the tents, but there is no one who is as thoughtful as Gu Yin to cook other dishes. If you use it as a gift, you don't have to worry that the other party will find it redundant.

Gu Yin divided some and gave them to Queen Zhou. After a while, the maid on Queen Zhou’s side brought a plate of cherries in person and said with a smile, “Our mother feels light I don't want to eat barbecue meat, and the lady just brought the spicy dish, and both the mother and the majesty like it very much."

Empress Zhou made a special trip, and Gu Yin took out a small jar of dried chrysanthemums in return.

Seeing the maid next to Queen Zhou talking to her respectfully and familiarly, after the maid left, Wu Qingyi inevitably asked, "When did you and the empress get so close? "

"When you're not at home, the goddess comes out of the palace to eat for a day. And today you all went out, and the second palace also took a nap and fell asleep, so the goddess came over and rode with me for a while. Ma, let’s talk for a while.” Having said this, Gu Yin thought of the incident that Empress Zhou mentioned in the afternoon, “The Empress also asked me to convey her apology, saying that she shouldn’t have succumbed to you because you didn’t find Xiao Ye. I blame you, I gave you a lot of cold faces."

Wu Qingyi shook her head nonchalantly, "It's okay, the empress did treat me coldly in the past, but the reward and respect she should give has never shortened our family's."

The two chatted while eating, and soon finished their meal.

The entire camp fell silent, and it was time to go to bed.

At this point, Gu Yin realized that there was an inconvenience—she had to sleep in a tent with Wu Qingyi!

Each tent is arranged uniformly after reporting the number of people, and then the subordinates of each family are responsible for decorating.

There are three bedrooms in the tent of the British government, one for Wang Shi and Wu Zhong, one for Wu An, and one for her and Wu Qingyi.

It's still early, and there are many servants around to drive, and it's too late to add another one.

Seeing the tangled look on her face, Wu Qingyi consciously took out a whole piece of animal skin from the cage and threw it on the edge of the bed.

Gu Yin didn't say anything else, turned around and went out to wash.

She also sweated a lot in the afternoon, so she took off her long hair and washed it slowly.

When she packed up and went back to the bedroom, Wu Qingyi had already washed up one step ahead of her.

A bit lazy.

Seeing Gu Yin coming over, he put down the military book in his hand and picked up the dry cloth on the table.

Gu Yin sat softly in front of him, half lowered her head and said softly, "Just wipe it at will."

Wu Qingyi did this kind of work for the first time, a little clumsily wrapped the end of her long hair with a cloth and wiped it gently.

The nightgown on Gu Yin's body is light blue, which is also a conservative style.

But the fabric behind her was stained with water vapor, and it stuck to her body, revealing her fair complexion.

Wu Qingyi glanced at her, only to feel her throat tighten, and immediately dared not look again.

He increased the speed of his hands, and quickly wiped the water vapor from Gu Yin's long hair.

The hair of both of them is half-dry, and it must be difficult to sleep right now.

But in such an atmosphere, sitting alone is a bit awkward.

Gu Yin got up and opened the box. Except for the personal clothes, the other salutes were taken care of by the servants in the house.

After searching, Gu Yin really found two boxes of chess pieces and a chessboard.

Then a new problem comes, neither she nor Wu Qingyi can play Go.

But this is not in the way. She doesn't know how to play Go and can play Gobang. Gu Yin explained the gameplay of Gobang to Wu Qingyi.

The gameplay of Gobang is very simple, Wu Qingyi quickly understood it.

Just after playing for a long time, Wu Qingyi's eyes unconsciously stuck on Gu Yin's hand—

Gu Yin played chess seriously and did not notice his burning gaze, the warm jade chess piece was rubbing against her tender fingertips, and after a while the chess piece fell on the chessboard, she smiled He said angrily: "Just now you said no, and I almost let you win."

After speaking for a long time without waiting for a response from the other side, she raised her head and met Wu Qingyi's gaze.

He just looked at him quietly, but that look made Gu Yin a little scared.

Like a beast staring at its prey.

Gu Yin was caught by the scorching gaze. For some reason, she also felt a little dry, she lowered her eyes in a little panic, picked up the cherries in the fruit bowl at hand and brought them to her mouth.

Wu Qingyi watched her slender neck make a swallowing motion, and followed her throat.

"Do you want some water?" Gu Yin asked, and pushed the tea cup in front of him.

Wu Qingyi didn't reach out to pick it up, but stood up, left a sentence, "I'm going out", and strode away.

Gu Yin waited at the table for half an hour, and seeing that he had not returned, she put away the chessboard and pieces, and went back to the bed to rest.

After lying down, her eyelids became heavy in a short while, but she felt sleepy at the same time.

It's hard to describe what's wrong. It's like after staying up late, the body is very sleepy, but the spirit is very excited, making it difficult to fall asleep.

It was time for another cup of tea, and Wu Qingyi came over with a whole body of water vapor.

"Is the water on the stove still hot?"

Wu Qing responded vaguely, then turned off the lights, and lay down on the floor beside the bed.

It was quiet outside the tent, except for the rustling of the wind blowing through the grass and trees.

The night wind in the mountains was gentle, and the indoor temperature was suddenly much colder than the daytime.

Gu Yin didn't feel cold, but thinking of Wu Qingyi next to her, she stood up again and found another quilt on the inside of the bed, ready to hand over the bed.

However, just as she reached out, her wrist was pinched by a terrifyingly hot palm.

Gu Yin froze, hurriedly explained in a soft voice, "I thought you fell asleep and wanted to add a quilt to you."

Wu Qingyi still didn't respond, but the temperature of her palm was gradually rising, even making Gu Yin feel that her wrist was about to be scalded by him.

"Your hands are so hot." She dripped into the mosquitoes.

In the house, you could hear the needle falling silently, only the sound of the two entangled breathing and the thumping heartbeat.

After a long while, Wu Qingyi said softly, "What did you give me?"

His voice was hoarse, and his throat was like a fireball.

Before Wu Qingyi felt that she was unable to control herself. Staying with her, just wiping her hair and playing chess, was so easy to be distracted.

But just after a cold shower, he still couldn't calm down, and instead felt more and more hot.

In retrospect, everything went wrong since the evening meal.

She said that Wu Qingyi's hands were hot, but in fact her body temperature was not low.

Gu Yin covered her heart and answered naively, "No, although I made the food, my family used it together."

While talking, Gu Yin thought of something and stopped talking.

After a while, the two of them said in unison, "It's that hairy blood!"

It was originally said that the Wang family didn't let Song Shiliu follow him to help, and then Wu Zhong and Wu An were not allowed to eat!

Wu Qingyi shook his head with a smile, "It is estimated that the deer blood was eaten tonight."

Gu Yin said embarrassedly: "It's my fault, I was doing both barbecue and other things at that time, and I didn't pay attention to it."

However, she also carried her own unique fragrance in her hair.

Wu Qingyi sighed, took a few deep breaths in her hair, and muttered to herself, "It's not yet time."

Then let go of her wrist.

Gu Yin withdrew her hand, just opened her mouth to ask "what's the time?", the next moment he went out.

…

That night, Gu Ye, Emperor Zhengyuan and Empress Zhou served a meal together.

The roast meat was cooked by the chef in the palace, with a lot of spices, but he didn't like it.

.

After dinner, he wanted to talk more in front of the emperor and the queen.

After all, they are his own parents, and he is still happy to be a middleman, allowing them to communicate with each other.

You should be exhausted for a while, so go and rest."

Gu Yegang said that he didn't feel tired, but Emperor Zhengyuan gave him a rushing look, and he was sent out by Qian Sansi in a confused way.

"Your Highness, rest in peace, you understand your thoughts, old slave. You don't have to worry about your majesty and the empress, they are well!"

Leave such a sentence, Qian Sansi called Lu Zhao's nanny again, took Lu Zhao out of the tent, and let the other palace servants also withdraw.

Gu Ye couldn't understand Qian Sansi's ambiguous smile, thinking that he was always safe in handling affairs, so he no longer bothered about it.

He returned to his tent.

Xiaoluzi has already prepared people to wash the tub and prepare hot water.

As soon as Gu Ye went back, Xiaoluzi did not let others do it, and personally served him to change his clothes and bathe.

Gu Ye was not used to having maids serve him before, but he was naturally not shy about a little **** like Xiaoluzi, so he leaned lazily on the tub and let Xiaoluzi wash his hair for him.

After washing, Gu Ye was about to fall asleep and asked casually, "What happened in the camp today?"

Although Gu Ye went out in the afternoon, a palace servant like Xiaoluzi who was not skilled in martial arts did not go with him.

The face of this fierce king.

So they all took the time to take the initiative to inquire, and others rushed to deliver things to his ear.

Xiaoluzi reported: "His Royal Highness played with the little Highness for a long time, and the little Highness took a break after lunch. The Empress did not know anyone else, so she went to find the general's wife. horse riding…"

Gu Ye listened with a smile on his face.

He was persuaded by Gu Yin before, and he no longer worried about whether they would be jealous of himself, and sincerely hoped that the two mothers could get along well.

I went up to say hello, but the little lady Lu came over on her own initiative..."

Xiaoluzi relayed the situation to Gu Ye in full.

Gu Ye opened his eyes and the smile on his face faded.

Although he is young, he has an excellent manner and bearing, and he already has a majestic momentum when he sinks his face.

When Xiaoluzi saw it, he said: "Then the little lady of the Lu family is really too frivolous, she has no eyesight, she does not take the general's wife in her eyes, and she does not take Her Highness in her eyes. It's very different. She hasn't become a lady of the country yet."

The last sentence of Xiaoluzi meant something, and Gu Ye understood it after hearing it.

Although the Lu family and the Feng family are engaged, as long as they don't get married for a day, the Lu family is still a merchant family.

The royal family may be a little more apprehensive of the home of meritorious deeds, for fear of taking the risk of chilling the hearts of the founding heroes.

But for someone like the Lu family, there is no need to worry.

If you do, you have to repeatedly weigh between money and fame. Maybe he will go back on this marriage.

Without the protection of the Duke of Lu, Lu Yuanqi is just a merchant girl, so naturally she has no frivolous capital.

Gu Ye shook his head, not sure.

"My mother said that the marriage between the two of them is a 'good thing', and this marriage cannot be broken." Gu Ye pondered, "You have to think of another way."

I can't ruin the marriage between the Lu family and the Feng family, and I have to make the little lady Lu shameless and frivolous. Xiaoluzi really can't help, so he stopped talking immediately.

Soon after Gu Ye finished bathing, Lu Zhao's nurse came over and said that he was crying.

Gu Ye wondered why Empress Zhou was not allowed to coax him, but he went over.

He was really tired in the afternoon, and after playing with Lu Zhao for a while, he fell asleep together.

The next morning, Gu Ye woke up and walked out of Lu Zhao's house lightly, thinking that it was still early, he turned back to the British government.

At this time, both Wang Shi and Gu Yin got up and were sitting in one place talking.

Gu Yin drank the scented tea to herself, but Wang shi did not talk to her as warmly and cordially as usual, but lowered her head and admitted her mistake in a low voice, "I am also kind. It's a pity to throw it away, thinking about the deer's blood tonic, so what kind of blood is made. I didn't think it was so powerful."

Wu Qingyi took a cold shower all night and didn't go back to the house, while Gu Yin suffered from insomnia all night because of the heat.

.

When Mr. Wang saw it, he knew that his plan was in vain, and he wanted to make a bad dish, so he quickly apologized and apologized.

Gu Yin said coolly: "Yesterday, that deer was bloody, but not only Qingyi and I ate it, but I also gave some to the Empress."

Wang shi smiled awkwardly, "Then...then it should be good to eat."

There was something wrong with the atmosphere in the room, Gu Ye didn't go inside any more, he just gestured with the servant at the door and said that he was going back first.

When he returned to his tent, Xiaoluzi waited for him to change his clothes, and Gu Ye asked about the role of deer blood.

Xiao Luzi has long seen that his master is different from ordinary people, so she did not fool him because she was young, and explained that deer blood can strengthen yang and nourish essence, and it is a great tonic for adult men. Offspring are helpful.

Eat some deer blood and you will have a baby, and it is really fresh. However, listening to the conversation between his mother and his mother just now, it must have failed.

Gu Ye couldn't help laughing, and after the call was over, his clothes were changed, and he went to wait in front of Emperor Zhengyuan again.

Xiao Luzi still stayed in the tent, because he failed to help Gu Ye come up with a good idea yesterday, Xiao Luzi felt that he didn’t do the job well, and was blaming and regretting himself, racking his brains.

When I contacted Gu Yewen just now, a light flashed in Xiaoluzi's mind, and he suddenly understood.

Your Highness has a trick!

It was too obscure, and he almost didn't remember it.

Xiaoluzi was not idle in the camp that day, and touched the dining room of Emperor Zhengyuan, asked the royal chef for some good wine and deer blood, and also asked the chef to give the best use of deer blood The practical method is to mix these two things together to make a bottle of deer blood wine.

When the day's hunting was over, the bottle of wine was sent to the tent of Feng Yuan, Duke of Lu, along with other rewards.
