Chapter 686: The widowed sister-in-law is beautiful but has a tragic fate (14)
The next day, Gu Zhen's cold miraculously recovered. Perhaps it was because she sweated from soaking her feet the night before, and she also had a lot of wild thoughts that surprised herself. Under the stimulation of these two factors, she recovered completely.
But while having breakfast, I found that Wen Zhao was coughing.
He looked unwell, so Gu Zhen reached out and touched him: "I'm fine, why are you sick again? Let someone ask for a day off for you today, so you can rest at home for a day?"
Wen Zhao shook his head: "I'm fine. A little cold doesn't warrant a leave of absence."
Since he was sick, Gu Zhen didn't want to bring up what happened last night, so she pretended she didn't know and talked about something else.
"I had originally declined the invitation from the wife of Chamber of Commerce President Zhang because of my illness, but it seems that it is okay for me to go today. If you feel uncomfortable in the academy, come back and ask someone to go to President Zhang's house to call me."
Wen Zhao immediately retracted the chopsticks in his hand: "President Zhang?"
Isn’t he the distant cousin of that little constable?
"What are you going to do? Who else is going? Why didn't I hear you mention it before?"
Gu Zhen glared at him, "Why are you so disrespectful today? You don't even call me sister when you see me, but just call me by my name or you, yours. Who taught you the rules?"
Wen Zhao choked, and he didn't know why he couldn't shout out. Seeing Gu Zhen getting angry, he held it in for a long time, and finally called out "Sister Zhen" with a red face.
Gu Zhen rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's because winter is coming, and we are discussing donating money for charity. There is no other reason."
Merchants always have to donate money, this is the rule every year.
Wen Zhao was still worried and secretly didn't want Gu Zhen to go: "Let's just donate it. You're just fine. It's cold outside. Don't go out, okay?"
Gu Zhen ignored him and ate his rice in small bites.
Wen Zhao felt very uneasy. As soon as Gu Zhen finished eating and was about to get up to go out, he immediately covered his head with a cry of "ouch".
"Sister Zhen! I have a headache!"
"Let Pan Yu ask for leave for me. I feel uncomfortable." Wen Zhao coughed a few times and he really felt a little uncomfortable.
Pan Yu was his servant, waiting outside after finishing his meal. Upon hearing this, he immediately looked at Gu Zhen.
Everyone knows who is the boss in this family.
Gu Zhen went over and touched Wen Zhao's forehead. It was even hotter than before, so he must not be pretending. She waved her hand and told Pan Yu to hurry up.
"Tell the Master that Wen Zhao should rest at home for two days, and bring back the prescriptions from home. Ask the shopkeeper for the money."
Pan Yu quickly agreed and disappeared.
As they got closer, Wen Zhao smelled a familiar scent and couldn't help but cough twice. He was afraid of infecting Gu Zhen again, so he quickly covered his lips.
Gu Zhen grabbed his hand and felt his pulse. It was indeed serious. Then she saw that he was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday and immediately understood the reason.
"Why didn't you change the clothes I prepared for you? Did you stay up all night again?"
Wen Zhao nodded guiltily: "I read for a while longer and fell asleep on the desk."
This kid must be in a difficult situation as well.
Gu Zhen softened her heart a little. She had no experience in dealing with such things, and she knew that facing those admirers, she could only feel annoyance and resistance. But for some reason, she did not stop Wen Zhao from taking off her shoes last night.
It's a very strange feeling.
She and Wen Zhao were already very familiar with each other, so familiar that they almost forgot each other's identities.
They also got used to eating together, chatting and laughing together, reading and learning characters together in the study, and Wen Zhao standing behind her and holding her hands while she painted.
Gu Zhen was shocked. It turned out that they had become so close.
She doesn't have those rules and regulations in her heart, but she knows how heavy the shackles of rules and etiquette are. If they develop feelings for each other, will Wen Zhao still be able to be an official in the future?
Gu Zhen calmed down and said, "Go back to your room and rest. I'll get you some hot water."
Wen Zhao didn't notice anything wrong with her. Not long after he returned home, he found that the person who brought the hot water was the maid who was in charge of cleaning the house. He panicked and thought Gu Zhen had gone out.
Without caring about anything else, he quickly chased after him.
Gu Zhen saw a gust of wind blowing past the door, and quickly put down the hand warmer and shouted, "Where are you going? Stop blowing the wind!"
Wen Zhao quickly turned back, panting: "I thought you went out to visit someone, I...I..."
"What do you mean?" Gu Zhen stuffed the hand warmer into his arms.
"Even if I go out as a guest, what does it have to do with you?"
Wen Zhao pursed his lips and looked at her: "I don't want you to go."
Gu Zhen: "Why don't you want me to go?"
"Anyway, please don't go this time, okay?" Wen Zhao pleaded in a low voice, "Just consider it as my illness. I'm not feeling well. Can you stay with me?"
Gu Zhen accurately exposed him: "You are afraid that Constable Guo is also here, right?"
The last bit of color on Wen Zhao's face faded away, and he stammered, "I, I, I...he is not worthy of you..."
"Who is worthy of me then? If there is someone more suitable and better, would you be willing to let me remarry?"
Wen Zhao stood there in a daze, unable to react for a long time. He was willing at first, so why was he not willing now?
Gu Zhen sighed, guessing that Wen Zhao was probably still not aware of his own feelings and was in a period of confusion, which was an extremely unstable emotion.
Being easily impacted and suppressed by reality, Gu Zhen decided to observe and wait until he really had to face the choice between love and career, then she could see how much sincerity and how much impulse he had.
Gu Zhen pulled him back to the room: "Have a good sleep and stop thinking about nonsense every day. I have no intention of remarrying, so you don't have to worry about me letting down your Wen family."
Wen Zhao wanted to say no, that was not what he meant, but he couldn't open his mouth.
Gu Zhen pushed him down on the bed without any explanation. Wen Zhao had not slept well the previous night and felt dizzy, but he held onto Gu Zhen tightly.
He fell asleep in a short while, and seemed to be mumbling in his sleep.
I leaned over to listen and heard the word "Ah Zhen".
Gu Zhen smiled bitterly. She didn't raise a number one scholar, but instead raised a debt collector, and the debt he was collecting was a debt of love.
.
Wen Zhao was fine after resting at home for two days. After all, he was young and in good health, and he often followed Gu Zhen to keep fit in the capital, so he became much healthier.
He was going to go back to school as he couldn't delay his studies any longer.
When Gu Zhen saw him off, she spoke slowly, "I have already made an appointment with your teacher to send you to live in the academy. There are many students preparing for exams there. You can communicate with each other and read more books every day."
This saves you from walking back and forth for more than half an hour.
"The test will be held in a year or so. You need to work harder, okay?" Gu Zhen would not allow for rejection.
Wen Zhao felt bitter, realizing that Gu Zhen might have sensed something wrong. He clearly noticed how mature and perceptive this girl in front of him, who was three years older than him, was.
She doesn't like him.
Wen Zhao nodded with difficulty: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
