After dressing as a widow

For so many years by Lin Zhen's side, Gu Lin seldom sees bright colors on him. He likes all colors that look cold, such as black, white and gray, as well as clothes, shoes and headbands.

At this moment Lin Zhen was sitting in the carriage jointly owned by the Wang family and the Huang family. The quilt was light jade color, embroidered with cherry red flower branches on the quilt, a pair of pine green pillows with tassels on both ends.

With just such a bright color, the skin of Lin Zhen who was sitting on top was made whiter, and the pure and seductive eyebrows exuded a charming atmosphere.

His Uncle Lin is a very beautiful brother.

Gu Lin knew this a long time ago.

He pursed his lips, bent over and stood beside Lin Zhen, and said, "Uncle Lin, after I pass the provincial examination, can you give me a chance?"

Lin Zhen knew what opportunity he was talking about. If Gu Lin had just made up his mind, he would have grabbed the pillow next to him and smashed it over his head and face to wake him up.

But after so many things, Lin Zhen's eyes became flickering.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the carriage: "Gu Lin, have you packed your bags, we are leaving!"

It was Wang Qin who was riding in the same carriage with Lin Zhen and was calling Gu Lin.

Lin Zhen raised his head to look at Gu Lin, and answered him directly: "Okay, but Gu Lin, I don't guarantee that I can give you the same feelings back."

He has always been straightforward and has a character of doing what he wants to do immediately. The only person who has struggled for such a long time in so many years is Gu Lin expressing love to him. He does not accept Gu Lin or remains the same, and And this thing that had so many things going on with him.

In the past few months, Lin Zhen thought about it from time to time, and finally decided to give today's reply.

Gu Lin's heartless and handsome eyebrows were suddenly filled with warmth and joy, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his thin lips raised a little.

Suddenly, Gu Lin leaned over and bent down, wrapped his arms around his back, and pressed Lin Zhen's body tightly against his body: "Uncle Lin, I am very happy."

He has always been reticent, and the word joy has almost never been heard in his mouth.

Lin Zhen, who originally wanted to push him away, hesitated because of these two words.

Soon, Gu Lin let go of him, and with obvious relaxation and joy in his voice, he raised the curtain of the carriage and turned to Lin Zhen and said, "Uncle Lin, take a good rest."

Wang Qin, who was waiting for Gu Lin to get into the carriage, felt that something was wrong the moment he saw Gu Lin. He looked at Gu Lin for a while before he realized where the strange feeling came from. meaning!

You have to know that even if he said something funny on weekdays, Gu Lin still looks so cold that he can't be colder. If it weren't for the occasional other expressions towards Uncle Lin, he would wonder if Gu Lin was born with that cold expression. Face, unable to make other expressions.

Wang Qin put on an expression that I really want to know, and hurriedly leaned in front of Gu Lin: "What's the matter, just now you went to Lin Shu and Uncle Lin to tell you something good, so happy."

The slight arc of Gu Lin's mouth still remained, and he sat on the other side of the couch.

Wang Qin, who thought he could talk, put his ears close to him, but he didn't hear a sound for a long time, he pushed Gu Lin's shoulder: "Hey, what's the relationship between us, can you tell me something good? "

"No."

"——" Wang Qin returned to the time when he went to Zhenyouwei Snack Restaurant for the first time as a guest, thinking that he was Gu Lin's friend, but was rejected by him.

Depend on! ! !

He sat far away from Gu Lin angrily, he missed Yuwen and Chen Xing so much.

Why is he so reluctant to ride in a carriage with this sawed-off dumb gourd!

"Drive." The servant who drove the carriage shook the whip in his hand, and the carriage rolled forward. Before leaving Anyuan Town, Lin Zhen didn't feel it. Soft, he was almost dizzy.

Lin Zhen felt that he had overlooked one thing. The so-called official roads in this era were just dirt roads, which were drenched by rain and run over by passing carriages. It's strange to be upside down.

"Bang——" Just after passing a pit, the wheels of the carriage sank into another pit, and Lin Zhen who was on the couch was almost knocked to the bottom of the couch, and what was even more unlucky was that he was knocked a little dizzy in the carriage——

Lin Zhen simply got up from the couch, lay down at the window, lifted the curtain and looked out the window.

I saw that the withered mountains and slopes they walked through last time were all green, with lush trees and weeds, and cuckoos were singing cuckoo cuckoo in the woods.

Lin Zhen was fascinated by the sight. Only those who have really experienced the drought will cherish the scenery in front of them.

Suddenly, Lin Zhen was knocked off the couch with his buttocks, and his forehead was knocked on the window coffin. He didn't expect to be knocked, so he gasped in pain and covered his forehead.

The coachman driving outside heard the commotion inside, and asked while driving, "Master Lin, are you all right?"

Lin Zhen didn't even have the energy to say that it was all right, he simply walked out holding onto the wall of the carriage, and sat next to the servant driving the carriage: "I'll come outside to get some air."

The driver of the carriage was an old man in his fifties, with gray hair and beard.

Seeing Lin Zhen sitting next to him regardless of his identity as the master, he smiled kindly: "Did Boss Lin be shaken a lot?"

Lin Zhen nodded: "I still thought about sleeping in the carriage, but I realized I was thinking too much when I left Anyuan Town."

Before they returned to Anyuan Town from Fucheng, they walked. Except for the time of drought, the big guy was not busy, and it took half a month to arrive. The taste of the carriage.

The old man smiled and said: "These official roads are not bad. If you encounter those roads in the countryside, there will be big pits and small pits. If you accidentally get stuck on a rock, you have to get out of the car to lift the car."

Just as he was talking, there was another hole ahead, Lin Zhen quickly grabbed the wooden board under his buttocks, and when he was ready, at least he was not as embarrassed as before, at least he didn't bump into it.

Lin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the old man, "It's much faster to ride a horse on this road?"

The old man looked at Lin Zhen who was slender everywhere: "Master Lin can still ride a horse?"

The only time Lin Zhen rode a horse was when he was taken back to Anyuan Town by Gu Lin. He said vaguely, "It doesn't count as being able to ride, but just being able to climb up."

The old man nodded and said with a smile: "Riding is fast, but it can't pull things. After riding for a long time, it will grind the meat. Those veteran riders have calluses on their legs."

Lin Zhen really didn't want to go into the carriage and get dizzy, so he just sat outside and chatted with the old man. Seeing that there was going to be a big hole, he quickly grabbed the board, which was more comfortable than being in the carriage.

Soon, night falls.

There were no villages or shops on the road, and the experienced servants found a leeward hillside to stop the carriage, some of them went to find firewood, and some took out the pots and pans they brought, and went to the river to fetch water for cooking. meal.

After bouncing in the carriage for a long time, and then sitting outside all afternoon, Lin Zhen felt that all the bones in his body were not his own, so he walked to the resting place with a bit of a strange gait, and sat on the rock.

Gu Lin, Wang Qin, Huang Yuwen, Chen Xing and others who also got off the carriage were all similar to him except Gu Lin.

Especially Huang Yuwen, who has a white face and walks step by step.

Lin Zhen, who was in pain himself, wanted to laugh when he saw it, patted the stone beside him, and said to Huang Yuwen, "Come and sit."

It was not the first time for Huang Yuwen to take a carriage. They would also take it when they returned home from Fucheng, but this time the road was extremely bumpy due to several heavy rains, and their buttocks were almost split into eight petals.

Seeing how difficult it was for him to walk, Wang Qin and Chen Xing almost lifted him up and put him on the stone next to Lin Zhen. Wang Qin looked at Lin Zhen and Huang Yuwen, and touched his buttocks: "These The official road has not been rested for several years, and I don’t know when it will be repaired.”

Restoring an official road is not so easy. It requires expropriation of corvees, money and food.

Dayu only experienced such a severe drought last year, and it may take several years to recover. It is his turn to rest this official road, and he does not know that he will have to wait until the year of the monkey.

Lin Zhen majored in chemistry at the university. It is not difficult for him to make cement, burnt glass and other things. He can write a cement recipe and submit it now.

But he thought about it and decided to forget it. He is just a commoner now. In the ancient times when the class was so strict, his prescription might not be handed over to the person in charge of this matter, and he would be watched by others. must.

In the future, Gu Lin will be transferred to another place to be an official, and he will give him the cement prescription, and let Gu Lin toss it by himself. Anyway, on the territory under his jurisdiction, he can do whatever he wants.

The raging fire was burning, and the servants who were with him cooked porridge, poured some convenient pickled vegetables brought from Anyuan Town into the bowl, and baked some cakes and steamed buns.

Perhaps the bump was too severe, and the contents of the stomach were knocked down. The group of people was very hungry, and the porridge was eaten clean. There were not any cakes or steamed buns left, not even a single pickle.

Then they slept in the carriage, and the servants took turns guarding the fire.

On the eighth day, Lin Zhen and Gu Lin's group finally arrived at the city gate of Fucheng. They saw a long queue lined up at the city gate. Some went to the city to sell wild vegetables and gadgets, and some carried baskets on their backs. Those who buy things, and those who ride in carriages like them.

If it weren't for the old city gates that could still vaguely detect traces of the past, the vagrant army had never entered, and everyone lived as they are now.

They had a total of five carriages, three of which were pulling people, and two of them were carrying Wang Qin's and Huang Yuwen's luggage.

After entering the city, Wang Qin and Huang Yuwen asked Lin Zhen, "Uncle Lin, go to my place to rest tonight, and we'll talk about it after you find a house."

The Wang family and the Huang family sent people to find a house as early as the two of them decided to come to Fucheng, and they could wash and rest as soon as they went.
