Chapter 114:

"Tired." Qin Jiu nodded, thinking that he might as well let someone raise his shoulders. Anyway, this palace doesn't have to visit today.
However, before she could say anything, Gu Zezhi stepped forward to her, bowed slightly, and said warmly, "I'll carry you."
Carry her? ! Qin Jiu almost doubted whether he was hearing hallucinations. Isn't he afraid that the people of the palace would see it?
As if aware of her hesitation, he turned his face slightly, looked back at her, raised his sword eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Are you shy again?"
The ghost is "again" shy! ! ! Qin Jiu's brain heated up, and he leaned 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 steadily carrying her.
His body was warm, like a big stove, and his body exuded his usual scent, the green bamboo-like fragrance, light and light.
Qin Jiao was still a little embarrassed at first, but after being carried by him for a while, he didn't see anyone along the way. He said in his heart: The servants of the palace are really winking!
She didn't care if anyone was peeking at them in the corner she couldn't see, anyway, she could not see.
She lay steadily on Gu Zezhi's back and relaxed.
The silk ribbon on his bun drooped and just touched her face. She felt a little itchy, and she took back one of the hands that was originally holding his neck, trying to throw the silk ribbon in front of him. The moment the silk ribbon reached her fingers, her hand stiffened, only to realize that the silk ribbon he used to tie the hair belonged to her.
The silk ribbon that was still in her hair yesterday came to him today.
Qin Jiu felt that his heart was honeyed and sweet, and could not help but think of a word: knot hair.
She used her slender fingers to roll the long silk in circles, feeling like something lingering around her heart.
She yelled softly: "Ze Zhi."
This was the first time she called his name.
"Yeah." He responded with a smile.
"After returning home tomorrow, you accompany me to pick out a few scripts from Shuhaizhai, OK?"
"it is good."
"Good!" She leaned over and kissed his jade-white earlobe, and found that he trembled slightly, and a crisp smile escaped from his mouth, with a touch of complacency and a touch of coquettishness.
Gu Zezhi only paused for a short time before continuing to walk forward, his handsome face curled up, his eyebrows radiant.
Does this girl think he can't do anything to her now?
Thinking of going back, Gu Zezhi didn't do anything to her after all. This night, Qin Jiu slept for the first time in three days. When he got up the next day, he only felt refreshed.
It was Qin's house where Qin Zeyu came to pick them up early in the morning. As soon as he arrived, he called his brother-in-law to Gu Zezhi affectionately, even more affectionate than Qin Jiu.
As the princess of the county, the Ministry of Rites assigned Zhu Lunche to Qin Jiu. Today, when she returned to the door, she was also traveling in the Zhu Lunche. When they arrived, they saw Qin Zening personally greet him outside the Hou Mansion.
He didn't say anything, Qin Zeyu already yelled, "Big Brother, what are you doing out? 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 thinks you are a dumb." Qin Zening's eyes twitched, almost not rewarding the bear child with a thud.
At this moment, Qin Jiu got off Zhu Wheeler with the support of Gu Zezhi, and couldn't help laughing.
Her bright face was filled with a brilliant smile, her complexion was ruddy, and she was full of vigor.
Seeing her smile from the heart, it is obvious that these few days have been very good, Qin Zening finally let go of his heart, and there is a smile on his face, saying: "Xiao Jiu, go in, grandma and everyone are here. Waiting for you."
Today is the day for Sanchao to return to the door, to let the new uncle go to the woman's house to recognize a kiss.
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 Jiu and Gu Zezhi first offered tea to Mrs. Qin, and then Qin Zening personally led Gu Zezhi to recognize people one by one.
After acknowledging their relatives, the Qin Zening brothers took Gu Zezhi to the front, while Qin Jiu stayed with Mrs. Qin and the Qin family's daughters.
There is a shadow of clothes in the room.
After the men walked away, the air immediately became more active, and the female family members were chattering non-stop.
An elder's wife looked at Qin Jiao with a smile, and praised: "Our sister Jiao is really a beautiful bride."
Mrs. Qin has always liked to listen to these kind words. She was so happy as if someone else was complimenting her. She smiled so that a deep wrinkle appeared at the corner of her eyes, and said, "I look at her and look good. This child is a good man, married. There will be a mission that day."
It’s like asking the emperor to ask for the emperor’s approval. The princess of the county should also be asked to seal the wife by Gu Zezhi himself. The princess of the county like Qin Jiao is the dignified princess of the county. There are several women with such honor. can have!
The other female relatives also echoed, so obedient and wanting to go out.
Originally, Zhongyi Houfu was the most noble line of the Qin family, and Qin Jiu married well, so they naturally wanted to have a good relationship with Qin Jiu, and more help would always be good!
Qin Jiu just pursed his lips and smiled.
The room became more and more lively, and everyone's faces were beaming.
Mrs. Qin looked around at these relatives and sighed in her heart. Today, the rest of the Qin family came, and the third room also came. Only Qin Sheng and the others did not come. It seemed that they wanted to completely break with the long room.
To tell the truth, she originally had a glimmer of hope, and wanted to use today to make Qin Sheng and Qin Jiao reconcile... Now, this glimmer of hope is broken like a bubble.
fair enough. She said to herself in her heart.
She is getting older. Since she was
ill
with Su’s not long ago, her body has deteriorated a lot. I am afraid she will be able to live well within a few years. She hopes that the family can be harmonious, but since she is even pretending to be If you don’t have any harmony, you can only give up.
After experiencing the incidents of Su Clan, Qin Zhun and Qin Xin, Mrs. Qin Tai also understood that she could not force anything.
Madam Qin didn't show anything on her face, and talked with Qin Jiao and other female relatives affectionately.
From beginning to end, the scene was beaming.
After lunch at Qin's house, Qin Jiu and Gu Zezhi said goodbye. However, when they were halfway through the carriage, Qin Jiu found out that they were not going back to the house, nor did they go to the study hall, but out of the city.
"Where are we going?" Qin Jiu asked curiously.
Gu Zezhi said: "Shangxiang."
People at that time did not believe in Buddhism, or believe in Buddhism. After Qin Jiu came to ancient times, he had long been used to it.
When it was at the Guanyin Temple, Zhu Lunche stopped.
A smell of incense and candles peculiar to temples came with the wind, and penetrated into Qin Jiu's nose. In front of him was a simple temple. Clusters of lush tree crowns protruded from the bright yellow wall, swaying in the cold wind.
The two of them walked into the temple, and some others walked out of the temple. The two girls walked while talking:
"Sister Wang, I just hope that I will come over here all the way to ask for the goddess of mercy, so that she can hear my heart."
"Sister, don’t worry, the Guanyin Bodhisattva here is the most effective in asking for marriage. Look, my second uncle’s cousin Li, who had a very difficult marriage, came here last month to ask for a marriage contract. The marriage is settled."
"Then I will leave you with good words."
The two of them walked past Qin Jiu and Gu Zezhi as they said, and saw that they were wearing the same green lotus-colored costumes, and Qin Jiu was combing the woman’s hair style again, beautiful and charming, and he looked like a newlywed mother. I couldn’t help but glanced at the two people more, I just felt that the biren were like walking down the painting, one handsome and the other pretty. The couple came hand in hand, as if the stars and the moon set against each other. Glorious and a perfect match.
The two girls couldn't help biting each other's ears, and vaguely heard words such as "newly married" and "repaying a vow" floating in the wind.
Just as the two girls just said, this Guanyin Temple is very efficacious, but its efficaciousness is famous for its marriage lottery, like the "Sanshengshi" of Lingyin Temple. Jiming Temple has a marriage temple. The pilgrims who come to this Guanyin Temple mostly come to ask for marriage and peach blossoms from the Guanyin Empress.
Qin Jiao came with Yun Jiao Niang last time. But at that moment, she had already made a kiss and was just following to join in the fun.
Is it possible that Gu Zezhi also came here to ask for a marriage, so he came to pay his wish? Imagining that scene, Qin Jiu was silly and happy alone.
Although it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, it did not affect the incense of the Guanyin Temple in the slightest. All the pilgrims looked at. Ninety percent of the pilgrims were women. The younger ones came to seek marriage, and the older ones accompanied their daughters. Or younger generations like granddaughters come to seek marriage.
As a result, Gu Zezhi's arrival inevitably seemed a bit out of the ordinary, and the eyes of the women and girls all looked at him, each of them shining brightly.
Some people still suppress their voices, while others can’t control the volume at all. A middle-aged woman’s slightly sharp voice penetrated Qin Jue’s ears clearly:
Nun, look, that little lady must be Bringing her husband to return the wish."
Qin Jiao: "..."
The middle-aged woman was still saying, "Nanny, in a moment, you also want to be sincere with the Guanyin Empress, and also beg for a beautiful date like this. Even if you look at it, you are in a good mood."
Qin Jiu couldn't help but went to see Gu Zezhi, well, he looked really good!
The corners of her lips curled up again, revealing a pair of shallow pear vortices.
She followed Gu Zezhi lightly in her footsteps, and came under a vigorous century-old laurel tree. The luxuriant branches were covered with red ropes for wishing.
Under the tree, dozens of girls' houses surrounded the thick trunk of the laurel tree, all struggling to throw the red rope with a wooden sign at one end onto the branch.
Legend has it that as long as the red rope is hung on the branch, a good relationship can be obtained. The higher the branch, the greater the blessing and the better the marriage.
Standing here at the moment, Qin Jiu suddenly knew why Gu Zezhi had come.
When she and Yun Jiaoniang came here last time, they didn't ask for a marriage contract because they had already made a relationship, but they still threw a red rope to the tree.
Yun Jiaoniang has practiced martial arts since she was a child, she is stronger than her, and her accuracy is better than her, so she is naturally much higher than her.
She also mentioned this incident casually to Qin Zeyu, without telling anyone next to her, so it was obvious from whom Gu Zezhi had heard of it.
Qin Zeyu can really tell Gu Zezhi everything.
In his thoughts, Qin Jiu watched Gu Zezhi go to add the sesame oil money, and then brought the red rope with the wooden sign.
He chose a place under the tree, grabbed the red rope with wooden signs on both ends in his hand and weighed it. Qin Jiu saw with a sharp eye that the names of the two of them were written on the wooden signs on both ends of the red rope. The handwriting is strong and vigorous, and it seems to be from the hand of Gu Ze.
As soon as the other girls around saw Gu Zezhi's posture, they knew what he was going to do. They all stopped their movements and were dumbfounded.
All the time, the people who came to throw the red rope under this laurel tree were all women. This was the first time they saw a man doing this.
In the scorching eyes of everyone, the red rope in Gu Zezhi's hand was gently and skillfully thrown up, flying higher and higher, accurately hanging on the highest branch of the laurel tree.
As soon as the wind blew, the red ropes hanging on the branches were swaying in the air along with the branches and leaves, and the wooden signs collided in twos and threes, making a crisp sound.
Qin Jiu looked up and looked at the two wooden plaques with their names on the highest point colliding with each other as they were pulled by the red rope.
She stretched out her hand and raised his index finger and shook it. Then, she folded her hands, lowered her eyelids, and prayed to the laurel tree.
Gu Zezhi also put his palms together, praying silently in his heart, without noticing that Qin Jiu quietly opened one eye. In the ink jade-like pupils, there seemed to be a little golden light shining on the clear lake, with a smile following The ripples of the lake were rippling.
After the two prayed for blessings, they joined hands and left together. The girls looked at the Biren with envious eyes, and some of them muttered softly: "When I get married, I will bring my husband together to votive!"
Others nodded their heads with deep approval. Only in this way can they be sincere and find a good man like that beautiful lady!
When Qin Gui and Gu Zezhi came out of the Guanyin Temple, the sun was already slanting west.
Gu Zezhi got into the carriage with Qin Jiu, and took her slender shoulders and let her lean in his arms.
After almost a day of tossing, Qin Jiu was also a little tired, leaning on him lazily, rubbing his head in his arms with attachment, put his cold hand into his sleeve, and drew warm body temperature from him. .
Gu Zezhi kissed the top of her hair, and suddenly said: "After a few years, we have to go back to Xijiang."
Qin Zhuo absently responded, and greedily crawled his cold fingers into his sleeve a little, and let out a satisfied sigh.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, Gu Zezhi is really a human-shaped heater that doesn't require charcoal fire, great.
Gu Zezhi was itchy by her restless fingers, so she simply put her on her lap, and then covered her cold hand with both hands.
The imperial doctor said, because she had a hard time in those years, her foundation was weak, and her qi and blood were weak, her hands and feet would get cold in winter.
In the past year, although Queen Wei and Qin's family have given her a lot of supplements, the matter of conditioning her body is not an overnight task, and she has to slowly raise it for two or three years...
Gu Zezhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "We are going to Xijiang this time for King Yu."
Qin Jiao, who was half-closed and half-squinted on his knee, opened his eyes suddenly.
Gu Zezhi continued: "In the next year, there will be a battle between the court and the king of Yu."
Qin Zhuo's sleepiness disappeared, his black and white eyes were dark and clear, and he looked at him seriously.
From this angle, her eyes are bigger and her eyelashes are thick like a fan.
Gu Zezhiyun continued calmly and said: "The court must have a battle against the king of Yu, and Yuzhou can no longer continue to sit up."
"In the past few years, because of the bandits in Beiyan, Xijiang, Minzhou, and Jinzhou, the court really didn't have any extra energy to move, and now it's a bit of extra energy..."
It's just a little spare.
Although in the first half of the year a lot of money was smashed from the sea bandits in Minzhou and a fortune from Beiyan, both he and the emperor knew that it was not enough to maintain a battle with the king of Yu with these money. of.
But the time is not to be missed. Now is the best time. You can't wait any longer. If you miss this opportunity, you will have to work harder when you want to clean up Yuzhou next time.
"If the court wants to take Yuzhou, it must use a strategy."
Take down Yuzhou with the least cost. Whether it was Princess Fang or Gu Xi, they were all set for this inevitable battle.
Gu Zezhi was still smiling, but his eyes became sharp.
Qin Jiao answered casually: "So, we are going to Xijiang?"
Qin Jiao's words were completely in line with Gu Ze's previous words. In fact, she didn't understand at all. What connection is there to take Yuzhou to Xijiang?
Gu Zezhi blinked at her, "Isn't it a logical thing to be a son and take his new wife back to meet the father and the king?"
Qin Jiao: "..."
What she can be sure of is that there is definitely a conspiracy in Golden Thigh, there must be!
One by one facts prove that people who are targeted by Golden Thighs often have no good end! Qin Jiu silently pinched a cold sweat to the person he was staring at.
Gu Zezhi bowed his head and kissed her on the corner of her lips, and calmly said, "Don't worry." He wouldn't let her fall into a trap. It was this long journey, for fear that she would be tired.
His gentle voice revealed a slightly dull charm in this small carriage.
Qin Jiao let out a "um", casually playing with a piece of suet jade pendant around his waist, not worrying at all.
With Gu Zezhi, what can she worry about!
He must have thought of everything she couldn't think of anyway.
Qin Jiu moved a more comfortable position on his lap, and said, "Will you leave after the Chinese New Year?"
Seeing her sloppy eyebrows, Gu Zezhi's eyes filled with smiles, her face reflected in her pupils, "There is one more thing we need to do first, and then we will set off."
"Then I'll let Du Ruo start packing up earlier, so as not to be in a hurry." Qin Jiu didn't get a little tangled, and responded cheerfully, "That's right."
She said, supporting her upper body slightly with her elbows, "How many holidays do you have during Chinese New Year?"
Gu Zezhi said: "Seven days."
Qin Jiu stroked his palm and said: "That's right, I have a hot spring village, how about we choose to live for two days?"
She bought this hot spring village at a low price from Qin Zhun at the beginning, and finally became her dowry. Now the weather is cold and it is suitable for hot springs.
"Listen to you." Gu Zezhi was like that woman singing and singing, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became charming.
Qin Jiu was inexplicably hot in his ears, and he always felt that he had thought of something that he shouldn't have thought of.
What she explained, and felt she wanted to cover up everything she said.
Forget it, she doesn't know anything.
She broke the jar again, closed her eyes and rested, but she seemed to hear someone's low smile in her ears, and then she felt a soft and burning touch on her lips, and the tip of someone's tongue was lifted. Her lips...
The sound of horses' hoofs and the rustling of carts overwhelmed the faint humming and rustling of clothes.
As dusk approached, the sky gradually dimmed.
The emperor gave Gu Zezhi only three days of marriage leave. The next day, which was the fourteenth of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Zezhi went back to work.
Qin Jiu was not idle either. She pitifully pinched Madam Xiao who was going to return to the Xiao Mansion, and she said that she was alone in managing such a big mansion, and no one could help.
Her pitiful appearance made Madam Xiao feel distressed for a while, thinking of her life experience, she felt that this child was not easy.
So Mrs. Xiao stayed and taught her stewardship, accounting, imperialism, etc., and took her to manage all the properties of the prefectural palace.
Gu Zezhi had just been knighted, and he did not separate his family. His family was very thin. Qin Jiu made a calculation and found that the family of the prefecture was not as much as her dowry.
Golden thighs are so poor! Qin Jiu was lying on the beauty couch holding the account books, and snickered happily.
When Gu Zezhi came back, all she 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 wittily, so as not to grow needles.
Gu Zezhi also sat down by the beauty couch, took the account book in her hand, and casually threw it aside, "The sky is dark, be careful of your eyes."
Qin Jiao leaped forward and lay on his generous back, with a small chin resting on his shoulders, and said with a smile: "I haven't looked at it for long, am I such a hardworking person?" She said this with confidence.
She is not like a golden thigh, just toil.
Thinking of his life when he cocked every day and slept for less than three hours every night, Qin Jiao's eyes were full of sympathy and pity when he saw him, patted his shoulder very angrily, and said with a smile: "You Yes, don’t work too hard. I will support you in the future!"
Gu Zezhi: "..."
He smiled happily, and even his chest and shoulders shook slightly.
Qin Jiao felt that the world was spinning, and was caught off guard by him on the beauty couch. She almost whispered, but thinking that Du Ruo and the others were still outside, she hurriedly bit her teeth and did not dare to speak.
Gu Zezhi buried his head between her neck and smelled the faint fragrance of 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."
Okay, let you raise it!
However, Qin Jiao regretted it.
She shouldn't let this big talk, this person has such a big appetite, how can she support him!
Qin Jiu slept three rods every day. Generally speaking, she didn't know when Gu Zezhi got up. Occasionally she noticed movement next to her when she was half asleep and half awake, that is, she opened her eyes and rolled over and continued to sleep.
The same was true on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month. She slept peacefully, but the court was not peaceful.
Early in the morning, the imperial court received the Zhezi from Yuzhou, and the king of Yu abruptly claimed that Gu Xi and the princess Duanrou and his party did not return to Yuzhou because the emperor was deceived and detained by the emperor. In addition, the king also stated that he absolutely No one was sent to set the Tai'an Palace on fire. It was a traitor who framed him with the intent to provoke the relationship between the court and Yuzhou.
When the emperor came up in the morning, Lei Ting furiously slapped the case and reprimanded: "Open your eyes and talk nonsense! King Yu clearly wants to protect Gu Xi and pick himself up."
Regarding the question of Yuzhou and the King of Yu, the courts used to have different opinions, but this time, the ministers were surprisingly united, and they all responded, thinking that the King of Yu was really shameless, and Gu Xi had already returned to Yuzhou with Concubine Fang. , Wang Yu actually wanted to rely on the emperor.
Before the pen was sealed, the emperor issued an edict to announce to the world, and reprimanded the king of Yu for his wrong intentions and for hiding evil intentions.
Under the deliberate indulgence of the imperial court, this incident spread in the capital, and all the spearheads were directed at King Yu and his son.
From the common people to the literati, Mo scholars were filled with outrage, and they discussed in the streets and alleys, tea houses and restaurants:
"The king of Yu is clearly planting a blame!"
"That is, Wang Yu asked his son to come to the capital to stir up the wind and the rain. I think it must have some sinister intention!"
"That's right. It's obviously that the king of Yu let his son set the fire and rescued Concubine Fang, and now he has to pour dirty water on the emperor. It's really sinister and cunning!"
"Huh, I think it's ambitious, don't have a plan."
"..."
All kinds of comments and speculations have not subsided for several days, and there is a trend of intensification.
