Chapter 630: The Princess Who Eloped with Her Lover (4)

The winter in Qizhou is very cold. Lin Fei is used to such a life. Fearing that Gu Zhen would not be used to it, he gritted his teeth and lit another charcoal basin.

"Girl, where are you from? I'll have someone send you back tomorrow," Lin Fei thought for a moment, "Don't worry, we have women in our village. When the time comes, we can say that you were rescued by an orphan or a widow. We won't ruin your reputation."

Gu Zhen took a sip of hot water, brewed up her emotions, and when she looked up again, her eyes were already misty with tears: "Master, I was abducted. My servant had bad intentions and took me here when I was traveling. After all this trouble, how can I still have a good reputation!"

Lin Fei's eyes widened. He hated this kind of man the most, but he felt something was wrong at the mountain temple before.

"Sir, my servant is actually a teacher hired by my family. He is good at seducing a young lady like me who has never experienced the world. He plans to stay with me for a while. When I come back, I will have to marry him even if I don't want to! Fortunately, he thinks that my father has some power, so he dare not treat me lightly, otherwise I..."

Gu Zhen covered her face and sobbed, her tears were so sincere.

She didn't lie!

Lin Fei saw that she was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, a girl as beautiful as a flower, simple and kind, and she was kind enough to let them go to the mountain temple to avoid the wind and snow. She acted and spoke in a generous and generous manner without any pretense, so she must not be a bad person. He was already 70% convinced in his heart.

He was not good at dealing with women, so he scratched his head and didn't know how to comfort her: "Don't worry, girl, I'll go beat him up and send you back. As long as your father and mother keep the news secret, no one will know."

Gu Zhen was even more sad. "My father is a teacher in Yuzhou. If I had been with a man for a few days, he would doubt my innocence. If I go back, there are only two outcomes: shaving my head and becoming a nun, or drowning in a pond to accompany my ancestors."

Lin Fei thought of the time when the girl was questioned in the mountain temple whether she had forgotten what was said in "Instructions for Women", which showed what kind of education she received in her daily life.

It really is a family tradition. Although he is not very literate, he knows that these things are harmful to people, especially women!

Lin Fei was a passionate young man, and he immediately asked, "What do you plan to do, young lady? If you don't mind, you can stay in the small village. I promise that no one will find this place."

Gu Zhen was overjoyed, and looked at the young man with tearful eyes: "Sir, are you willing to take me in?"

"...I am willing," Lin Fei's ears blushed, "but I am afraid that the conditions here are not good and the girl will be wronged."

He couldn't afford a fox-fur coat or deerskin boots.

Gu Zhen smiled when she saw his eyes on her clothes. The original owner had deliberately picked out the cheapest and most inconspicuous outfit. If she wore that sable cloak, the future young general might be suspicious. How could a teacher's family be so rich?

"Compared to living, these are nothing but clouds, sir. I will not eat and drink for free here. I see there are women and children in the village. I can teach them to read, write, do arithmetic, and embroider. I have also learned a lot from books, and I am sure I can help you in the future."

Lin Fei believed that she was educated, but he didn't quite believe that she could adapt to the harsh environment. However, there was no other way, so let's just leave it this way for now.

"Girl, you are a guest. Take a good rest first and make plans later."

"By the way, girl, I still don't know your name?"

Gu Zhen smiled softly, "I'm not married yet, and my father doesn't want girls in our family to take their father's surname, so you can just call me Zhen'er."

Gu is the emperor's surname, and if Lin Fei were to be told the truth, it would scare her to death. If she had to send her back to the palace, all her efforts would be wasted.

Lin Fei disliked the father that Gu Zhen mentioned even more. What kind of person was he? He didn't even let her have a surname after giving birth to a daughter.

"Then please come in, Miss Zhen'er. I believe the house has been cleaned up." Lin Fei led her to the west side of the village. There were a few small houses built there, so they should be able to squeeze out one.

Aunt Wang from the mountain village came out personally with her daughter-in-law. They all thought that this was a distinguished guest from somewhere and did not dare to neglect him.

Gu Zhen felt very cold when she entered, but the room didn't have any smell and the bedding was old but relatively clean.

This village is full of simple people, and they were really miserable in the original plot. Gu Zhen decided to lead them to live a good and stable life, as a way to atone for the prince's sins.

Lin Fei brought her a charcoal basin, which was of course incomparable to the red charcoal used in the palace. Gu Zhen endured the smell of smoke and opened the window a crack, for she was afraid that she would be poisoned by carbon monoxide.

"Miss Zhen'er, how can you open the window in such a cold weather? You will freeze."

It’s not their fault that they don’t know the danger, but ordinary people would never be willing to burn charcoal before sleeping at night, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of poisoning.

Gu Zhen explained it carefully, and Lin Fei thought to himself that he was indeed born in a wealthy family and knew a lot. He had to pass on this message to prevent anyone from being poisoned when burning charcoal.

He said goodbye first as he could not stay any longer. Gu Zhen, wrapped in a quilt with a cloak on top, shivered and fell asleep.

When she woke up the next morning, her face was cold. Gu Zhen got up and stretched her arms and legs. The original owner had lived a life of luxury and was in good health, so she did not catch a cold that night.

Gu Zhen put on her boots and cloak, casually tied her hair into a bun, and when she went out, she found that many people had already gotten up and were busy starting a new day.

Some people are feeding the chickens and ducks, some are cleaning the yard, some are boiling water and cooking. The curling smoke in the mountains seems so comfortable and warm.

Seeing her, many people smiled shyly. Gu Zhen was very friendly and took the initiative to come forward to help feed the chickens.

She was very skilled in the movements, which surprised Aunt Wang's granddaughter Cuicui: "Big sister, you can do this too!"

Gu Zhen nodded proudly: "Of course, I know a lot, reading, writing, embroidery, shuttlecock kicking, Cuju, I will teach you all in the future."

Cuicui instantly fell in love with this beautiful and lovely sister, and quickly became familiar with Gu Zhen, calling her "Sister Zhen'er" all the time.

Lin Fei and a few of his brothers came back from practice and saw this scene. They looked at each other. They were saying in the morning that Miss Zhen'er might cry, but they didn't expect that she adapted so well.

The useless man in the stable fell ill first, and kept crying out in pain.

Lin Fei was just about to tell Gu Zhen about this, he walked over and asked Cuicui to take care of herself first, and took Gu Zhen aside. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a few stains on her fair face.

He scratched his head, forgetting to get water for the guests last night.

"Wait a moment," Lin Fei quickly went to find a basin, scalded it with hot water, and brushed it carefully before bringing it over, "Miss Zhen'er, go wash your face."

Gu Zhen had the same idea, so he nodded and turned to go into the house without taking the basin.

Lin Fei had no choice but to follow him in and mix warm water for her. Gu Zhen took out a handkerchief from her arms and threw it in to soak it. She wiped her face carefully and then smiled brightly at Lin Fei: "Mr. Lin, are you clean now?"

"......" Lin Fei was stunned for a few seconds but quickly came back to his senses, "It's clean, very clean."

Cleaner than the purest snow he had ever seen.
