Chapter 231: Stop

End of Chapter 231
The downfall of the house caused a hustle and bustle, and when the hustle and bustle gradually fell silent, Da Zhou entered another winter.
Accompanied by the cold north wind swept across the south of the Yangtze River, the temperature dropped sharply, and people put on winter clothes. A few days later, the first winter snow hit, and the city was completely plain.
In Gu's study, a few pots of charcoal fires quietly burned, making the room warm, and snow flopping on the window lattices, adding a bit of life to the quiet study.
Footsteps sounded outside, someone pushed the door in, and the snow outside the door rushed in with the wind, instantly turning into water vapor.
"Brother, everything is packed..." Gu Shiba Niang gently shook the snowflakes on the cloak, and smiled while looking at Gu Hai, "If the schedule is set, I will go to the cart..."
Gu Hai put down the book in his hand, smiled at his sister, and said hello.
Gu Hai's case was cleared, and the official was still restored to his post. The court sympathized with his imprisonment and allowed him to rest for a new year, but Gu Hai remembered everything about Lizhou, so he was ready to leave.
"This time, our family can spend the New Year together..." Gu Shiba Niang smiled, with eyes full of anticipation. The meaning of the year is very important to everyone and every family, but to their family. more important.
One year represents life and the preciousness of life.
Gu Hai did not speak, and was silent for a moment. He hesitated and said: "Eighteenth mother, you really don't plan to..."
It stands to reason that Gu Shiba-niang’s qualifications to enter the palace ceased when she was taken away by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. But now the situation is that the Ministry of Ceremony not only did not explicitly send the edict to disqualify herself from marrying, but instead sent them to the palace Notice.
Of course, Gu Shiba Niang had already taken back her fame through the Gu Haishushu, but she did not reply for a long time.
Gu Shiba Niang smiled and nodded, her gaze turned to the door, the wind swept the snow flakes randomly.
"Oh by the way, brother, I'm here to tell you, I'm going out..." she changed the subject.
"Where? It's snowing..." Gu Hai frowned.
"Go to Lingyuan to tell the individual..." Gu Shiba Niang said, smiling.
The Zhu family's affairs are over. Although Lingyuan is still a thief, no one is staring at this anymore, so Gu Shiba Niang looked for a place outside the city and built a cloak mound for him.
The Cloth Tomb was standing near the West Lake, a place where a cemetery was concentrated. Gu Shiba Niang felt that Lingyuan had lived alone for a while, and didn't want him to be deserted when he died.
The snow did not rush, making this originally a bit gloomy place, but it became silver-clad and plain, adding a bit of coldness.
Refusing the maid to follow, Gu Shiba Niang asked her to stay by the car and walked to Lingyuan's grave with an umbrella and a basket.
There is no surname on the tombstone, only the simple two characters Lingyuan, and there is no person who erected the monument. It looks particularly bleak.
Gu Shiba Niang slowly squatted down, put the umbrella aside, smashed away the snow with her hand, swept out a clearing, and slowly arranged the offerings in the basket.
"Come on, let's have a drink..." She pours two glasses of wine and mutters to herself, "Speaking of which, we have never had a drink together..."
Saying that I drank it first, then spilled another cup in front of the tomb, and then poured another cup.
"I can't drink too much, my health is not good..." She smiled and looked at the tombstone, as if Lingyuan was sitting opposite, "I'm not happy if I drink you...you drink for me..."
While she was talking, she slowly poured both glasses of wine on the ground, and then stared at the ground with melting snow.
The snow kept falling, and quickly covered her. Although the maid beside her was anxious, she did not dare to come over.
Gu Shiba Niang looked at the tombstone again, tears slowly slipping down, "Why can't we be alive and have a chance to come back... Why can't we live well..."
Her voice choked more and more, and finally she couldn't cry. She stopped talking. Instead, she took out two red ropes from the placket. One was tied with a piece of jade, and the other was a small wooden Buddha.
She stretched out her hand to untie the piece of jade, slowly dug a hole in the grave with her hand, and buried it in it.
"I gave this to you. I haven't had time to give it to you..." she murmured, watching the snowflakes quickly cover the new soil that had been turned over.
Quietly looked at the tombstone for a while.
"I'm leaving..." She stretched out her hand to caress the surface of the monument, stood up, because she squatted for too long, her figure couldn't help but shake.
The maid was so scared that she ran over to help her.
"It's okay, let's go." Gu Shiba Niang signaled that she was okay, cleaned up with the maid, and returned to the carriage.
The carriage moved slowly. Gu Hai in the carriage had asked someone to prepare a charcoal stove, hand stove, etc. to keep him warm. He quickly eased over, and the maid gently wiped the snow on her head with a dry towel.
The carriage that was originally not fast stopped suddenly.
"Miss..." the guard house outside the car whispered by the window, "Someone is coming..."
Someone coming? Gu Shiba-niang frowned and raised the driving curtain, but saw a long and happily figure standing in the middle of the road in front of him. He was standing in the middle of the road wearing a large purple cloak, tilted his head slightly, and waited silently.
Gu Shiba Niang was shocked, and she was busy getting out of the car and bowing to her. A guard raised her hand to stop her movement.
"Have you seen the ten scenic spots of West Lake?" Wenjun Wang asked when she approached.
Gu Shiba Niang shook his head.
"Neither did I..." Wang Wenjun smiled, "It seems that we are really ordinary people, and we have never seen any good and beautiful..."
"His Royal Highness..." Gu Shiba Niang said with her head down.
"Let's go." Wang Wenjun didn't wait for her to finish, and turned to go ahead.
Gu Shiba Niang did not speak any more, and followed.
Here is close to the Baidi, and when you go east, you will see the broken bridge. When you get here, you will see people coming and going, which is very lively.
"The victory of West Lake, Qinghu Lake is not as good as Yuhu Lake, Yuhu Lake is not as good as Moon Lake, and Moon Lake is not as good as Snow Lake..." Wenjun Wang admired, "Sure enough..."
The guards dispersed, inadvertently dividing a space around them.
"Yes.." Gu Shiba Niang replied in a low voice, her eyes swept across the refreshing beauty, "It's so beautiful..."
Wang Wenjun did not speak any more, and the two of them strolled in front of each other in the snow, the Subai long embankment was like jade, the lakes on both sides were like mirrors, the nearby cruise ships were dotted with the snowy mountains in the distance.
"Is there no chance to enjoy such a beautiful scenery in the future..." Wenjun Wang suddenly sighed with a smile after not knowing how long he had been walking.
"His Royal Highness has no bounds and boundless rivers and mountains..." Gu Shiba Niang lowered her eyes and said in a low voice.
"I'm happy again?" Wenjun Wang smiled and looked at her sideways.
Gu Shiba-niang had a short stature to kneel down.
"Let's talk hard..." Wenjun Wang stretched out his hand to stop her.
His hand supported Gu Shiba Niang's wrist, nostalgic for a moment, and slowly retracted.
"Why not?" He asked lightly.
"Gu Xiang, this life can be like this, thanks to the gift of Master Liu Gong..." Gu Shiba Niang whispered slowly, explaining how to meet Liu Gong and how to visit his teacher.
"Gu Xiang has made a mistake in his previous life, and this life will pay for her..." She raised her head, and for the first time did not avoid the eyes of King Wenjun, "We can only pay back in the next life..."
"Perhaps you make medicine, and you accept apprentices..." Wenjun Wang looked at her and said slowly.
Gu Shiba Niang's figure quaked slightly.
"Gu Xiang, I just want to have someone by my side, just like when I was sick..." Wenjun Wang said with a light sigh, "Why is the danger possible, but not at this time..."
Gu Shiba Niang looked at him, bit her lip, and finally lowered her head slowly.
"His Royal Highness... Gu Xiang is not worthy..." she said in a murmur, "Gu Xiang... only willing to accompany His Royal Highness, it will always be that Gu Xiang..."
That Gu Xiang, submissive, kind, loyal...
That Gu Xiang, at that time removed all disguise, all precautions...
But at this time, Gu Xiang's heart is full of holes, every layer of defense, and everything is calculated. She can't stop, can't help herself, can't take a hostile...
"Gu Xiang..." He looked at her, seemingly sighed, and then smiling, "You...don't believe me?"
If you don't believe me, I can give you days without calculation and defense.
"Don't dare..." Gu Bainiang said with her head down.
"Gu Xiang, think about it, there have been all kinds of things, even though you didn't believe me, did I disappoint you?" Wenjun Wang said lightly.
If you say Gu Haisheng, I will be born, I believe you...
You say you can save me, I believe you...
Gu Shiba Niang's tears dripped, and she had nowhere to go, so she had to run into it desperately. There was no hope of surviving, but he raised his hand.
"I know..." she replied in a low voice, so she knew what she was doing, so she gave up her indifference and looked on the sidelines and went to risk making dragon tiger soup.
"Gu Xiang..." Wenjun Wang's voice fell and slowly stretched out his hand in front of her.
"Gu Xiang can't be unfaithful or unrighteous..." Gu Shiba Niang hung her head and short body, her voice was already choked, "Gu Xiang doesn't want to be ashamed in front of the temple..."
The snow slowly fell, sprinkled one after another, and soon a layer of whiteness was spread in the palm of Wenjun Wang.
She lowered her head, and did not see the seemingly self-deprecating, self-deprecating and pitiful look on Wenjun Wang's face.
Wang Wenjun smiled slowly, shaking off the snow in his hands.
"Okay, you can do whatever you want..." he said with a smile, "you...go..."
Gu Shiba-niang burst into tears, "His Royal Highness..."
The person in front of him did not leave.
"You go first..." Wenjun Wang's voice fell gently from the top of his head, "It's rare to have a lonely leisure time, enjoy the scenery..."
Gu Shiba Niang bit her lip and choked, once again she was short and deeply saluted. After a long time, she turned and walked away quickly.
"Your Highness..." Huang Nei's attendant walked over, holding an umbrella, choked up.
Wang Wenjun withdrew his gaze from the vast snow scene, saw his swollen eyes and tears streaming down his eyes, he burst out laughing.
"Look at what you look like..." Wang Wenjun laughed and cursed, "I want to laugh when I see you crying..."
"His Royal Highness..." The servant Huang immediately shed two more tears when he was aggrieved, "The old slave is sad..."
"What hurts you..." Wenjun Wang smiled.
"The old slave is sad for your Highness..." Huang Neishi wiped his face with his sleeve like angrily, and said angrily.
Wang Wenjun smiled, did not speak, let out a sigh of relief, and cast his eyes on the snow scene again.
"The old slave just doesn't understand. Why is she like this..." Huang Naifu said angrily, sucking his nose, tears again.
Wang Wenjun smiled lightly, "You don't understand..."
His voice was quiet, and he only felt lonely when he heard Huang Naishi's ears.
"Your Highness understands?" Huang Nei Attendant asked with a wrinkle.
King Wen did not speak, but watched the silent snow falling from the sky.
"Yes, I understand..." he seemed to say to himself, "I met her too late..."
Naibu Huang was puzzled, late? What's late? Didn't they know each other early? Besides, what does it matter if it is late?
It means that Lady Gu has gone to the teacher, so she can't turn her back, so she is too late?
But it's not right... Huang Nai waiter was puzzled, and when he was about to ask, he raised his eyes to see King Wenjun's expression, but he sighed and said nothing.
Now that they all understand, why should he worry about him as an outsider, nothing more...
The snow stopped a few days later, and when it was light, three carriages left the gate.
"This house has been sold, it seems that I don't plan to come back..." Gu Yu dismounted and said, taking the wine glass from Gu Hai.
"It's not because of your love, you can't afford it if you don't sell the house..." Gu Shiba Niang smiled, holding a wine glass in her hand.
"Can you pay it back after you sell the house?" Gu Yu said lightly, drinking it all.
Gu Hai smiled and drank it.
"Take care..." He nodded and said, reaching out and patted Gu Yu on the shoulder.
Gu Yu frowned and took a step away, "You don't need to tell me this..."
Gu Hai laughed and patted his shoulder again, "Okay! I'll tell myself for you!"
"Hurry up." Gu Yu said lightly without avoiding this time.
Gu Hai nodded and saw Gu Shiba Niang on the side slowly finishing her wine, and hurriedly reached out to take her wine glass.
"You can't drink... Join in for fun..." he groaned.
Gu Shiba Niang smiled and shook his arm, "Brother, I'll just have a drink..."
"A cup is not good..." Gu Hai stared.
Looking at the two brothers and sisters who were full of warmth and laughter, Gu Yu frowned and coughed.
"Hey, you guys did this on purpose," he asked.
Gu Hai smiled, turned around and stretched out his hand again, "So are you, socializing in officialdom, eat less wine..."
Gu Yu moved a step away, and Gu Hai's hand fell through.
"Take care, take care." Gu Hai laughed and arched his hands.
Gu Yu nodded and watched the brother and sister turn and leave.
"Young Master Yu... come to Lizhou anytime..." Cao nodded softly at him.
Gu Yu nodded slightly and did not speak. He watched Gu Hai helped Cao get into the car. The mother and son were talking and laughing. The tenderness between his eyebrows overflowed, and he felt a pain in his heart, and then it was empty.
There are some things, after all, it is hard to make up for the lack of a corner.
Gu Shiba Niang stopped suddenly, spoke to Gu Hai, and walked over again.
Gu Yu looked at the girl who came to him with a smile.
"It's so jealous..." Gu Yu smiled.
What he said was headless and disorderly, but Gu Shiba Niang understood.
"Is it because of this?" Gu Shiba Niang smiled, "So why don't we look at us?"
"Why? Can't it?" Gu Yu raised his eyebrows.
Gu Shiba Niang smiled, "Of course I can...but..."
She paused slightly, took a step forward, and reached out to hug Gu Yu.
Gu Yu was taken aback for a moment, and his body became stiff, apparently in a big accident.
"Brother.. There will also be people who are jealous of you..." Gu Shiba Niang was a head shorter than him, and gently touched her forehead in front of him, and whispered, "...because you will do it for you too." The younger sister and brother who protect by fate..."
Seeing the carriage gradually turned into a black spot on the horizon, Gu Yu stood still in place for a long time.
"What? She really didn't enter the palace..." Gu Luoer was shocked when she heard the words, her hands in front of her trembled uncontrollably, and then she laughed, "I knew she couldn't get in... this cheap maid... .."
Gu Yu sneered and stood up, "Cousin, don't you understand me?"
Gu Luoer smiled and looked at Gu Yu.
"It's not that she can't get in, but she doesn't get in..." Gu Yu said, standing up and going out.
"Nonsense!" Gu Luoer sneered, "Suffering a swollen face to fill a fat man! How can she not want to enter if she can enter!"
Gu Yu put her feet away..., turned around and looked at her with a smile.
"There is a kind of person in this world who will never surrender his destiny to others..." he said lightly, "However, you, a person like you, will never understand..."
After speaking, he did not stop and strode away, leaving Gu Luo'er in the hall with a pale face, her chest rising and falling.
Never leave one's own destiny to others...
A smile from a woman outside interrupted Gu Luo'er's thoughts, she raised her head, her brows erected.
"Who is making a noise there!" she shouted, her voice full of anger.
"Madam is here..." a enchanting woman outside the door whispered, looking slantingly at her, "I thought you and the lord went to a banquet at my lord's house..."
The irony in her words is obvious. The relationship between Gu Luo'er and her husband has been very stiff recently, and she was not even allowed to attend such gatherings between relatives and friends. These words were piercing Gu Luo'er's heart. She slapped the table and stood up.
"Come on, palm!" she shouted.
Although Gu Luo'er had a bad relationship with her husband, it did not hinder her status as the mistress of the house. A few wives immediately emerged and held the woman down.
"Why are you hitting me! What's wrong with me? Madam, what are you angry at me!" the woman shouted in anger.
"Why? I'll beat you as a concubine, do I still need a voucher." Gu Luoer sneered, "What if I sold you?"
As soon as she waved her hand, the women understood, and immediately raised their hands to beat, and the woman's cry suddenly sounded.
"What the is this!" There was a shout outside the door, making the scene of jumping around suddenly quiet.
The third son of Baoding Hou, who was drunk on his face, strode forward, sweeping his eyes across the chaotic crowd.
"Master..." The concubine broke free of her mother-in-law, and ran a few steps over to Lihua, who was kneeling in front of him and crying with rain.
"What is this for?" Baoding Hou San Young Master frowned, looking at Gu Luo'er with a bit of displeasure.
"It's nothing, the concubine is not sensible, let me teach you a lesson." Gu Luoer said lightly.
The third son of Baoding Hou sneered, "You know that you are not sensible..." His eyes were full of mockery, and he looked at her from top to bottom, "I thought you didn't understand..."
In the crowd, this was undoubtedly a resounding slap on Gu Luoer's face, her complexion instantly turned pale and her figure shook.
Everyone in the family knows that the relationship between the two has been very stiff recently, but they didn't expect it to be so stiff. Suddenly everyone looked at Gu Luo'er with deep meaning.
Countless light pierced the body like cold needles, Gu Luoer only felt that her breathing was stagnant and her eardrums hummed.
After learning that she was inquiring at the Criminal Ministry and proving that Gu Shiba Niang had a close relationship with the thieves, Baoding Hou Sangongzi was furious. The couple who had never been blushing after their marriage quarreled for the first time, and the Zhu family suddenly fell. Pingyang Hou was implicated, and Gu Luoer also suffered a lot of cross-examination by the third son of Baoding Hou because of his testimony. Since then, the relationship between the husband and wife has deteriorated sharply.
The husband and wife have not slept together for more than a month, but just nodded when they were eating.
But Gu Luo'er didn't expect that he would embarrass herself in front of so many people. For a while, it went black and almost fell.
"Go..." Baoding Hou Sangong snorted, pulled up the concubine who had been stunned on the ground, and strode away.
Until then, Gu Luoer couldn't hold it anymore and sat on the chair with a puff.
"Women like Er rely on their parents at home and their husbands when they get married..."
"It depends on the words of obedience to the parents, and it depends on the actions to please the husband's family..."
"Everything you get is not a gift from others, so how proud and arrogant..."
"Have you ever thought that once you lose your parents' asylum and your husband's favor, you will be panicked and helpless?"
There was a sound of words in her ear, and the faint look of Gu Shiba Niang appeared in front of her eyes.
"May you be reliable forever..."
She turned black and finally passed out.
When I woke up again, the lights in the room were dim and silent.
Gu Luoer remembered what had happened, and her hand on her side couldn't help but clenched. The sorrowful voice awakened the maid accompanying the bed.
"Madam, you are awake..." they asked hurriedly.
Gu Luo'er glanced across the room, out of the person they didn't want to see.
"Master..." she asked in a dry voice.
The maid lowered her head and dodged somewhat.
"The master invited the doctor, and the doctor said to let his wife rest..." she whispered.
"I'm asking where is the master?" Gu Luoer interrupted her.
"Master... Master is with Aunt Mei..." The maid couldn't hang her head any longer, and the sound was like a mosquito.
Gu Luoer closed her eyes and did not speak any more.
"I never wanted anyone to respect, nor did I want to compare with anyone, I just want to live, live like a human..." Gu Shiba Niang's voice rang in her ears again.
Gu Luoer's tears slowly flowed down, her hands under the quilt clenched tightly.
Yes, I am jealous of you, jealous of madness, jealous of you can’t wait for you to disappear forever, jealous, how can someone fight for what they want so arrogantly, and let go of what they don’t want so freely and decisively, why can she? Live like that!
Gu Luo'er's hand was slammed, shaking the maid who was kneeling by the bed.
I don't know how long it took, Gu Luoer took a deep breath and opened her eyes.
"Go call Rouer and Huazhi..." she said slowly.
Rouer and Huazhi are the maids brought by Gu Luoer from her natal family. They are cute, lovely and beautiful, and they are well treated by Gu Luoer. They are the first-class big girls around, but they never do the rough work of other maids~www. EbookFREE.me~ This kind of maid has a unified identity, that is, the concubine the mistress uses to win over her husband as a solid pet, and these candidates must be the mistress's cronies.
"Yes.." The maid withdrew in response.
Not long after, two enchanting figures appeared outside the bead curtain outside the door.
Seeing the two closer figures, Gu Luoer closed her eyes again. She thought she would never use these two people in her life...
To live is to live, you can do it, and I can do it, but you have your way of living, and I have my way of living...
"Gu Xiang... I will live well... I can... I can definitely..." Gu Luoer murmured, biting her lower lip tightly, and slowly sitting up, raising her arrogance slightly as always. His chin looked at the two daughters who were curled down on her knees.
