The mistress of the Hou family worked herself to death, and she did not serve after her rebirth

Gu Tingzhi promised to give Brother Yu a bath, but when he really carried the child into the bath room, he remembered that he had never bathed anyone before, especially such a young child.

He hesitated for a moment, stripped off Brother Yu's clothes, and then threw Brother Yu into the water.

This is how he and his brothers in the barracks washed. In the first few years after he joined the army, he led some new soldiers, some of whom were a few years older than Brother Yu. Some of them were landlubbers and were very afraid of water.

After being kicked down, he learned to float in the water after just a few tries.

It was not until Brother Yu floundered a few times and sank to the bottom that he shouted, "Brother Yu" several times but received no response, that he became completely panicked.

I quickly reached in with my big hand and fished Brother Yu up. I saw that Brother Yu's face was pale, obviously he had choked on water. I quickly laid Brother Yu flat on the ground and pressed gently for a few times until the water came out. Brother Yu's pale face regained its color, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

But after all this trouble, he was so anxious that the corners of his eyes turned red.

Brother Yu's look just now really scared him. He didn't even dare to think that if Brother Yu couldn't wake up, the woman outside would probably want to kill him.

How could he be so careless? When he saw the child for the first time after he was five years old, he almost drowned him.

Seeing that Brother Yu's breathing was getting smoother, he excitedly held Brother Yu in his arms.

As soon as Brother Yu calmed down from the shock, he fell into a broad embrace. He was a little scared and struggled slightly.

Gu Tingzhi realized that he had frightened the child again, and he relaxed a little. He gently placed his hand on Yu Ge's soft shoulder and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Child, are you okay?"

"You, crying?" Brother Yu looked at the corners of his eyes which were still red and pointed timidly.

"No, Daddy is a man, and real men don't cry."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Gu Tingzhi's face, and he didn't dare to look into Yu Ge's pure eyes.

"Just, cry." Brother Yu seemed to have discovered something new and strange. It turned out that not only he would secretly wipe his nose, but his tall father the Marquis would also cry.

"Shut up." The more embarrassed and angry Gu Tingzhi became, the more stern he became. For a moment he even forgot that the person in front of him was his son.

Frightened, tears immediately welled up in Yu Ge's eyes, but he stubbornly opened his eyes wide to stop the tears from flowing down, as if if he did so, he would not be a man and would admit defeat.

Gu Tingzhi suddenly came back to his senses and wanted to slap himself. The child had just been a little nice to him, but he scared the child to tears.

No wonder some of his brothers in the army once joked that he could scare children into crying.

But he looked at Brother Yu, who was obviously more distant from him than before, and didn't know what to do. He wanted to raise his hand to wipe his tears, but Brother Yu pouted and avoided him, then secretly turned his back. When he turned around again, although his eyes were red, there were no tears.

He thought of the child's appearance just now and couldn't help laughing. "You are still young, it's not shameful to cry. You can't cry when you grow up."

"I didn't cry."

Brother Yu puffed up his face stubbornly and was very angry. This person was just as annoying as in his dream. He wanted to drown him and scare him.

"Okay, you didn't cry, I was the one who cried. Well, I didn't mean it just now. Could you please not tell your mother?" There was a hint of flattery in Gu Tingzhi's tone.

"You, are you afraid of your mother?"

Gu Yu blinked and looked at him.

afraid?

Gu Tingzhi wanted to laugh, he had never been afraid of brutal enemies, but just as he was about to say this, he looked at the child with a mocking look on his face, and he remembered that a centurion brother once talked about how proud his wife was when she chased him and beat him, and said, "It's not shameful to be afraid of your wife," and he stopped talking.

His silence had a different interpretation in Gu Yu's eyes.

Gu Tingzhi glanced at his gloating expression and patted him on the back of his head, "Aren't you afraid that your mother will spank you?"

"Mother, be nice to me and don't hit me."

Gu Yu glared at him in dissatisfaction, then smiled and boasted, remembering something and said, "Mother slaps me, hugs me, and kisses me every night."

As he thought about it, his eyes sparkled.

"Hey, little bastard, are you showing off to me?"

Gu Tingzhi angrily grabbed Gu Yu and was about to slap him on the butt. Gu Yu was so scared that he screamed and threatened to tell his mother, so he held back and just slapped him lightly twice.

But Gu Yu seemed to have found something against him, and would tell his mother if he was not satisfied. At first, he was really angry, but he remembered that his brothers in the army talked about the bastards at home, and they often mentioned that the bastards were taking advantage of the power of the tiger and telling on the tigress all day long. Perhaps, bastards all like to take advantage of the power of the tiger.

However, Gu Tingzhi had his own way of punishment. Every time he would deliberately throw Gu Yu down, and when Gu Yu got scared, he would quickly pick him up. Seeing Gu Yu's face turn pale with fear, and then survive the disaster, he thought, humph, you bastard, let's see if you dare to use your mother to bully others.

But gradually, he felt something was wrong. Why was there less and less fear in the bunny's eyes, and more excitement and anticipation? He realized that he had been fooled by the bunny.

But before he knew it, he actually started to like this kid Gu Yu.

But he really didn't know how to bathe a child. In the end, he just pushed him into the water randomly and lifted him up. Seeing that his body was covered in boiling water, he thought that should be enough, right?

The little guy seemed to be nicer to him than before. When he was lifted up, his two skinny arms were around his neck, making his body wet.

Finally he stripped himself naked and washed briefly.

When he was about to carry the dressed Gu Yu out, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Gu Yu warily, "Boy, could you please not tell your mother just now?"

"No." Gu Yu said, but subconsciously glanced at the sword he had just put on his waist. He understood instantly, ruffled the boy's hair, and said arrogantly, "I can't give it to you. This is a reward from His Majesty for my victory. If you want it, go earn it yourself."

There was a flash of disappointment in Gu Yu's eyes, but then he became determined again.

At this time, Gu Tingzhi spoke again, "But if you don't tell me, I can make you a wooden one, just like this one, and when you learn my swordsmanship, I will give it to you."

Gu Yu seemed to have little interest.

Gu Tingzhi laughed, and stretched out his hand to pinch Gu Yu's thin arm, "Boy, you look like a weak chicken now, even if I give it to you, you can't lift it."

As he said that, he pulled out his sword and handed it to Gu Yu. Gu Yu wanted to learn how to catch it with one hand, but his face turned red and he failed to catch it. He lowered his head in frustration, but soon he clenched his fist and raised his head to swear, "I can catch it big."

"Okay, I'll wait until you grow up."

Gu Tingzhi smiled, put his hand on his shoulder, picked him up and walked out.

Outside the bathhouse, Pei Jiuniang was already getting a little anxious waiting.

It's been an hour and a half. What on earth have these two people been doing in there?

She almost rushed in.

Then I saw Gu Tingzhi slowly coming out holding the child.

She couldn't help but blame him a little, "It's just a bath, I thought you choked my child to death."

Pei Jiuniang made a casual remark and the faces of Gu Tingzhi and Gu Yu changed. Gu Tingzhi didn't dare to look at Pei Jiuniang, but glanced at Gu Yu secretly. He was relieved when he saw Gu Yu nodded at him.

"Mother, I'm sleepy."

Seeing Gu Yu stretch out his arm, Pei Jiuniang quickly took him in her arms and walked towards the dormitory.

Looking back, he saw Gu Tingzhi following him in a scattered manner, and his expression immediately changed, "It's getting late, I won't keep you, sir."

"Okay, okay."

Gu Tingzhi could not hide the disappointment in his eyes. He, he was actually disliked.

Ugh.

It's just like what those military brats said, if you offend the tigress at home...

Pooh.

Pei Jiuniang is not a tigress. In fact, she is quite nice when she is not fierce. He still remembers their wedding night...

Forget it.

Thinking about it again, this night will become even more difficult to endure.

But did she take a shower just now? She was clearly not wearing this before.

Also, he could vaguely smell a light fragrance coming from her, but he couldn't tell what it was. It would be nice if he could ask again.
