Gu Erbai's Pastoral Life

Chapter 395 He Will Not Come Back Tonight
Gu Erbai hurriedly congratulated, and Aunt Wang exchanged greetings with her, they all praised her for her good life, which seemed to be extraordinary words.

Uncle Wang also came down and croaked for a while, seeing that it was getting late, he dragged Aunt Wang who was chattering and let Gu Erbai go.

Unluckily, Aunt Wang pulled her mysteriously at the end, avoiding the crowd and walking to one side, whispering in a low voice.

Gu Erbai looked at her hesitant look on her face, and her speech was also hesitating, which was really not like the usual straightforward style, so he said bluntly, "Auntie, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"It's like this... Erbai, I know I shouldn't make things difficult for you. He's just a bitch. He has been working in the Muying Prison for quite a few years. You know that he is hard-working and willing to work. Our family will return soon." If you want to add another breath, if you want to give Xiaobao the best, you can't be tight all the time..."

Gu Erbai heard the meaning, raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively, "But you want a salary increase?"

Aunt Wang saw that she was so direct and happy, she nodded with a smile, "It's not just that, although it is said that with the strength of Goudan, he will definitely be able to become the superintendent one day sooner or later, but I heard from Mr. Ancheng dispatched talents to do it, and the dog would have to struggle for a few more years. You said it was ready-made, and it would be a waste to find someone else. Maybe the owner is busy on weekdays and doesn't know the ability of the dog..."

Aunt Wang chatted mysteriously with her for most of the day, and the dog on the yard seemed to realize something was wrong, and called her behind her.

Gu Erbai glanced at him, then turned towards Aunt Wang's eyes, "Then... I know Brother Goudan's abilities, and his brothers usually love him, or I'll go talk to the owner Tell me, mention it, okay?"

Her own father often does things about going through the back door, and now...it's going to be passed on to my little dad, bah, my husband.

When Aunt Wang heard this, her eyes lit up immediately, "Erbai, I feel at ease with your words."

"Whether it makes it or not, I will..."

"As long as you tell the owner, it will definitely happen."

"..."

Gu Erbai raised her eyebrows in a funny and helpless way, the people around her always had more confidence in herself than she did.

Xiao Yan was listening secretly from the side, and when she retracted her ears, she also saw her thoughts, and silently shook her head and sighed, "That's because Madam, you are a fan of the authorities. It looks really bright."

"..."

What do you know, it's fun.

Gu Erbai rolled his eyes at her, and ignored her when she couldn't spit out ivory.

Brother Goudan came down and dragged Aunt Wang to berate him, Gu Erbai was finally sent off by Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang and Dad, and finally got into the carriage at sunset.

A round of red sun stretched the shadow of the carriage very long, and it was reflected into the quiet pot house.

The red-painted bright wood square cart got off, and the wheel rolled down the path and turned onto the main road, chasing the fallen leaves all over the ground, making a creaking sound.

There are Ah Huang and Xiao Yan by my side, and there is the sound of wind blowing and fallen leaves rustling all around.

Gu Erbai opened the curtain slightly, looking at the plants and trees that she once knew here. Walking the dog, growing vegetables, and swimming here are the most special experiences in her life. At this moment, everyone is swaying in the posture of parting .

After the past years, it should be a good day and beautiful scenery.

This is farewell.

Goodbye, pastoral.

Goodbye, Qing family.

"noob!"

When the surroundings were silent and only the sound of wheels could be heard, there was suddenly an almost high-pitched call from behind the carriage, undulating like the peaks of thousands of mountains passing through, from high to low, continuously.

Gu Erbai's brows twitched, he repeatedly told the driver to stop the sedan chair, lifted his robe and got out of the car.

At the end of the long road, A Niang stood there with a roasted chicken in sesame oil in her hand, watching her from a distance.

For some reason, Gu Erbai's eye circles turned red when he saw that scene.

She ran straight to A Niang, her long arms hugged the old man tightly, "Mum, I'm sorry, Xiaobai lied to you."

Auntie of the Qing family was in tears at this yell, she still had no resentment in her heart, she stretched out her arms to hug her, only murmured silly child repeatedly in her mouth.

"You are still willing to call me mother, I never blamed you, I dreamed that you came to see me last night, and today you really came, mother is very happy, just thinking about you all day long in the palace is unbearable." No guilt, the old lady treats you well..."

Gu Erbai's nose was sour, his throat was tight, his voice was low but powerful, "I didn't suffer, good, very good, Uncle Qing is very good at taking care of others, and the old lady also likes me very much."

"That's good, you silly child, you usually play around at your mother's house, and you are very talkative. You can't do this when you get married in the future. When you get to Gu's mansion, you must treat the old lady well, listen to the owner's words, learn to be sensible, and don't move around. Playing a child's temper."

"I know, I know everything."

Gu Erbai hugged her tightly and nodded, like a daughter just getting married.

A Niang laughed through tears, and stuffed something into her hand, "You take this roast chicken with you. I think you like it very much. After you get married, you will often come back to see it. Come and make one for you once." back."

Gu Erbai lowered his head, only kept lighting, tears rolled in his bright red eyes.

A Niang patted her on the back lightly, "Okay, big girl, don't cry every now and then, the old lady will be worried when she sees it later, it's getting late, you should go back early."

A Niang pushed her away, but her eyes were full of reluctance, Gu Erbai nodded, bit his trembling lips tightly, and gradually turned around.

When she was about to get into the carriage, she wanted to turn around and call mother again.

No, I heard A Niang's instructions from a distance.

"My child, I'm an adult in the future, I can't be willful anymore, just leave as soon as I say it. Even if I suffer any grievances in life, I have to say hello to Yiqing wherever I go.

That child in Yiqing was hurt in the past, and mother forgot everything when she saw him with you.

He values ​​feelings more than anything else, and puts all his thoughts on you again. If you are unhappy, you can't play jokes with him on your mother, he won't be able to bear it..."

After A Niang finished speaking, Gu Erbai's tears poured out like a gate in an instant, the woman's back trembled in a big arc, without saying a word, she lifted the curtain and got on the carriage.

……

Xiaoyan comforted her all the way, and Ah Huang kept licking her master's hand.

Gu Erbai just kept shaking his head, saying it's all right, he laughed out loud while talking, and finally wiped away his tears, he was really all right.

When they arrived at the gate of Gu's mansion, they got out of the carriage under the watchful eyes of Butler Liu.

Xiaoyan got out of the car behind her, her brows were troubled, and she shook her head in puzzlement. Is Madam's affection for Qing's family so deep?

"Xiao Yan, go and give the roast chicken to the old lady."

"Here."

Xiaoyan responded, and Gu Erbai walked towards Qianyi corridor.

No matter how well she pretended, Liu Butler could still see the strangeness in her at a glance, and asked cautiously, "Madam, is there something wrong? Why don't you go to the Medicine Pavilion with the old slave to see the doctor."

"It's okay, I'm just a little happy to see the second elder today."

Gu Erbai shook his head, as if thinking of something, he asked another question, "I heard that Shuifu will take two days to wake up? Is there a way to make her wake up now?"

"It's the old slave's dereliction of duty. Seeing her distraught and dizzy last night, Ben Cheng thought of taking a sleeping pill for her to rest for a while, and then answer when she regained her sanity.

I don't want to be inadvertently snatched the medicine bottle by her, and swallowed several pills. This sleeping pill is so powerful that most people will not be able to wake up after swallowing it for a while. In addition, she is weak and mentally disturbed. The result is not as expected. "

Gu Erbai listened, and nodded heavily, his heart was already condemned, life would be better than death, it would be more liberating than death.

"There's no need to wake her up. The doctor will check her up. Make sure not to let her die. If there is any sign of trouble, please tell me immediately."

"Here." Butler Liu responded, and asked again, "Madam, do you want to interrogate her personally?"

Gu Erbai didn't return him, but looked up at the lonely and endless Ganyi Corridor, and asked in a muffled voice, "Uncle Qing, haven't you come back yet?"

Steward Liu paused for a moment when he heard the words, stretched his sleeves, and nodded as if he was ashamed, "Here."

After the words fell, he obviously felt that the figure of the woman beside him froze for a moment, and even had the illusion of reaching out to help her for a moment.

It took him a while to realize that it wasn't the person who was about to fall, but the god shaking.

He has observed that Madam's state, in fact, has changed slightly since she came back from Putuo Temple last time, and he can't tell if he said it. Obviously, the person is still the same person, and the things are the same, but it always feels less A ray of soul is mostly the unknown heaviness after laughing and cursing.

Perhaps, the owner of the field is also feeling this, so he can't wait to...

"I see."

Gu Er's white throat moved, and he replied in a deep voice, with a hint of difficulty in his voice, he turned around and walked towards the Waterside Garden.

Butler Liu looked at the shaky thin figure from a distance, and a sense of impatience surrounded his chest for no reason. He couldn't relieve it for a long time, and wished he could catch up and finish his sentence in one breath.

But in the end, he still had the courage to bite the bullet, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and didn't say anything about it.

Ah Huang followed behind, walking silently with one person and one dog. When passing by Yuchun Hall, her gaze drifted inadvertently.

Sure enough, as Xiaoyan said, the Yuchun Hall is very lively, until dusk, there are still people kicking shuttlecock in groups.

The crisp and pleasant smiles, the frank and lively faces, and the flying shuttlecocks all show off the vitality of youth, as if they will never get tired.

Obviously, she also belongs to this most beautiful time, but at this moment, she looks like a person from two worlds.

During the days with Uncle Qing, she spent all her luck and spent the best days of her life.

All the remaining days without him are like twilight, without hope.

Sitting there quietly, following the arc of the setting sun.

Hearing this lively scene, Ah Huang beside him couldn't help spreading his hooves and rushing in to play. The girls in the courtyard were startled by the sudden surprise, and when they realized it, they all laughed happily. dog.

Gu Erbai raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and walked towards the Waterside Garden alone.

The cold wind lifted her sleeves, and the place was still desolate, and there was no one there.

Once such a person broke into your life, he would tell you that all the previous years were wasted.

Rather, this short period of time.

……

Waterside garden.

When Xiaoyan pushed the door open, there was no light or movement inside.

She lightly rubbed the flint, lit the red candle, and saw the person on the bed turned over, the candlelight hit her face, and the pale face reflected, with tears in her eyes, looked even painful.

"Ma'am, you haven't had your dinner yet, why don't Xiaoyan bring you porridge to warm your stomach."

Xiao Yan couldn't bear it, she squatted slightly on the bedside, and asked in a soft voice.

Gu Erbai fell into a drowsy sleep, not knowing what eve it was, he just tried his best to open his eyelids and asked softly, "What time is it?"

"It's almost Haishi."

"Haishi, it's Haishi again...he won't be back tonight."

The little woman spoke softly, like a wisp of lifeless soul, floating with a bit of desolation.

She rolled over, with tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, and fell asleep again.

Looking at Madam's figure, Xiaoyan seemed to feel the loss and ardent longing, and for no reason felt bitter and uncomfortable in her heart. She frowned tightly, and just about to speak, she seemed to think of something and rushed out of the door .

Outside the door, Steward Liu and Zhang Tan had been waiting for a long time. When they saw her come out, they kept asking what was going on.

Xiaoyan shook her head with tears in her eyes, her eyes were red, and she even looked at them with resentment.

"If it weren't for the fact that there is still a younger brother in the family, I would tell Madam about the matter even if I violated the curse. You wouldn't tell me even if you killed me. Do you know how uncomfortable Madam is feeling now?"

Steward Liu sighed deeply after hearing this, rolled up his sleeves, and decided to open the door cruelly, "In that case, I will violate the owner's order this time and go in and tell the truth."

Seeing the situation, Tan Zhang stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Forget it, anyway, it's just a day, Madam is asleep now, if you make her sleepless by talking about it, you'll know tomorrow night whether it's good or bad.
