marriage contract

It is impossible for Brother Qi not to know that someone has taken a fancy to Gu Chengzhi. On the day he saw Chu Junyi, Brother Qi bowed his head and stood in front of Chu Junyi, apologizing in a low voice.

Chu Junyi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you do wrong?"

Brother Qi didn't know what to say. He knew about Miss Tong pestering Gu Chengzhi, but he couldn't say "shouldn't save people".

"I don't know what I did wrong, why do I have to apologize?" Chu Junyi asked calmly.

Brother Qi still drooped his head and remained silent.

"Is there anything wrong with saving people?" Chu Junyi asked.

Brother Qi shook his head.

"Did you let Miss Tong pester your father?" Chu Junyi continued to ask.

Brother Qi almost shook his head off this time.

"Since you did nothing wrong, why did you come to apologize?" Chu Junyi looked at him firmly.

Brother Qi pursed his lips, raised his head cautiously, and asked a little nervously, "Is Daddy not angry?"

"I want you to apologize when I'm angry?" Chu Junyi said angrily, "Is my belly size that low? Or do you think I will blame you indiscriminately?"

"No, no, no! Daddy's temper is good!" Brother Qi rushed over and hugged Chu Junyi's arm, coquettishly saying nice things at the same time.

Chu Junyi stared at him for a while, sighed slowly, touched the top of Brother Qi's head, and said, "You are my son, so you don't need to think so much, we will not abandon you no matter what. "

Brother Qi buried his head in Chu Junyi's arms, and it took a long while before he answered in a muffled voice.

In fact, Chu Junyi has always known that Brother Qi is always worried, worried that they will not want him, because he is not their own flesh and blood, he is afraid that they will separate, each marry a wife and have children, so he is always very careful at home. Be well-behaved and never make them angry.

The same is true of the obsession with the younger sister. If there is a younger brother, Brother Qi will be afraid that they will leave him, so the younger sister is the best.

If there is a girl who inherits their blood, then he will not worry that they will separate, nor will he worry that they will not want him.

It's a pity that Chu Junyi can't have children, no matter male or female.

Both Chu Junyi and Gu Chengzhi noticed brother Qi's little thoughtfulness, but they didn't want to expose it directly, so they didn't have to scare their son.

Over the years, Brother Qi has let go a lot, can laugh and make trouble, and has done enough things that children should do.

But this incident directly aroused his nerves. He was afraid that Miss Tong would affect the relationship between Chu Junyi and Gu Chengzhi. Once the relationship between the two fathers broke down, what should he do.

So Brother Qi came to Chu Junyi to apologize, hoping that he would not care about Miss Tong, and that he would not be angry with Gu Chengzhi.

But on the issue of saving people, Brother Qi seemed very entangled. On the one hand, he felt that saving people should be done, and on the other hand, he felt that this situation was caused by him saving people.

Chu Junyi didn't want his son to become that kind of cold-blooded and ruthless person. There was nothing wrong with saving people. He knew that Mu Shaoai was the problem of Miss Tong, and it was Tong County Magistrate who contributed to the trouble.

After comforting his good son and saying many times that he and Gu Chengzhi hadn't quarreled or felt angry, Brother Qi left with peace of mind.

When Gu Chengzhi heard Chu Junyi talk about this matter, he didn't react too much. He just took Brother Qi out for a walk the next day, and in the evening he returned to his original caring and good son.

The tour team didn't stay in the county for a long time, only a few days in total.

From that day on, Miss Tong didn't come closer to Gu Chengzhi, but just hid in the corner and peeked silently.

Both Gu Chengzhi and Chu Junyi saw it, but they really didn't want to make trouble with a little girl, and they all hid in the corner, so there was no need to make an ugly scene.

On the day of departure, County Magistrate Tong came to see him off, but Miss Tong was mentioned in the nonsense. She followed the county magistrate's wife back to her natal home, and it seemed that she was going to meet her son-in-law.

Gu Chengzhi is not interested in Tong County Magistrate's act of offering a daughter and finding a new home for his daughter. The next time he goes on tour, Ms. Tong might be married, and if she behaves a little out of the ordinary, her husband's family will take care of her. These things have nothing to do with him. irrelevant.

Far away from the county town and Miss Tong, Brother Qi seemed happier. He was studying martial arts and had to follow Gu Chengzhi to watch him handle official duties. Looking carefully, he was even busier than Gu Chengzhi.

But Brother Qi is in good health, full of energy, and doesn't feel tired, and he doesn't delay in the same thing.

Afterwards, the itinerary went smoothly, because the emperor just got angry and cleaned up the place, all the government officials are now as good as cats, and they will not stick out their tongues when they stretch out their paws. What.

When I returned to Anqing Mansion in mid-December, everything was the same as before I left.

When Uncle Yu saw them, he greeted them with a smile, and then dragged Gu Chengzhi back to the Taoist Department. He missed them very much after walking for a few months.

Chu Junyi shook his head and laughed, guessing that the official affairs on Gu Chengzhi's desk had already piled up like a mountain, otherwise Uncle Yu wouldn't be so anxious to drag him back.

On New Year's Eve, Uncle Yu spent the New Year with them, and they were both thousands of miles away from home, celebrating the New Year together.

The annual gift to be sent back to the capital has been prepared long before the tour, Chu Junyi asked Song Guo to send it to the capital according to the time, no matter whether the relationship is good or bad, it must not be picked on by others in face.

During the first month, people from various government officials and local wealthy households came to give gifts or pay respects.

Except for officials and wealthy households, the rest are local people. During the Chinese New Year, they must come to kowtow, otherwise they will feel uneasy.

Uncle Yu felt a little sour in his heart, but soon some people came, and the gifts were all common and easy-to-storage vegetables, but he felt happy when he saw them. When the people left together, apart from those things, there were acknowledgment and satisfaction of him.

Ordinarily, the distance between the fourth-rank officials and the common people should be farther, but Gu Chengzhi and Uncle Yu are relatively close to the people, and they usually go out a lot, and the prefect Fan is still in the middle, and the officials and the people are a harmonious family. The new officials couldn't be more pleased.

In fact, the demands of the common people are really not high. As long as the officials don’t come to harm the village, they will be satisfied. If the officials can take them into consideration, then they are good officials.

Prefect Fan of Anqing Mansion is a good official, and later Mr. Gu and Mr. Yu are also good officials. In addition, the weather has been good in recent years, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are smiling people everywhere.

Uncle Yu's side is quite normal, Gu Chengzhi has a bonus of goodwill, at first he thought that he and Chu Junyi could keep one side safe, but now he feels that good officials are rare.

Gu Chengzhi thinks this change is very good, he doesn't like when people mention him and ignore what he has done, but focus on those mysterious and mysterious things.

Now when others mention him, they will praise him as "a good official", instead of just saying "living Bodhisattva" as before.

When they have enough food and clothing, people will always find something to pass the time.

The people of Anqing Mansion were idle and had nothing to do, and suddenly they thought that their officials and lords had no one to take care of them.

Prefect Fan brought his wife and children with him, which is fine, but there is not even a single person in Mr. Yu's house who knows what is cold and what is hot, how can this work? !

All the aunts in Fucheng who had nothing to do at work walked around the streets, collected a stack of lists, and appointed an aunt to be a lobbyist.

When Uncle Yu heard this, he almost spit out his tea. It turned out that when he became a good official, people would feel sorry for him and have no one to serve him.

Dumbfounded, Uncle Yu went to ask for reinforcements, and pushed Chu Junyi forward, while he went to the road department to continue working. If he just took a woman back like this, not to mention whether the grape trellis in the backyard would collapse, but Saying that his old-fashioned father can beat him up, maybe he will scold him: "I let you go out to let you go out, not to let you sleep with women!"

Uncle Yu slipped away quickly, leaving Chu Junyi and Aunt Lobbyist staring at each other.

When the aunt saw that there was a change of person, she didn't care, and asked by the way: "Master Chu, do you want it? Those girls are all gentle and virtuous, and they are the best candidates."

Chu Junyi twitched his mouth, shook his head and refused.

Just kidding, he would only agree to let a woman in when he was insane!

As a result, this word spread out without knowing how, and the more it spread, the more outrageous it became.

Gu Chengzhi's face turned dark instantly when he heard about it, and he put aside his official duties, and flicked his sleeves to find Chu Junyi for a theory.

Uncle Yu somehow thought of the matter that he asked Chu Junyi to help block the peach blossoms, after much deliberation he decided to be as quiet as a chicken.

As soon as Chu Junyi sent his son away, he almost swore that he never thought of letting a woman in.

After Gu Chengzhi came back, he couldn't help but drag Chu Junyi back to the main room.

The two didn't say a few words, and a servant came to report, saying that Uncle Yu had sent someone to send a letter, asking them to go out and have a look.

Knowing Uncle Yu's temperament, Gu Chengzhi pulled Chu Junyi out of the door.

Pedestrians on the street were rushing towards one place, Gu Chengzhi and Chu Junyi looked at each other and walked over.

Love to join in the fun is just like the habit of human beings. The bustling city in front is crowded with people, and it will be even more crowded if there is something to do. The crowds are piled up in front, even if you have the ability to climb mountains and mountains, you can't squeeze through.

Gu Chengzhi frowned, and pulled Chu Junyi to a secluded place where there were fewer people, wrapped his arms around his waist, and jumped to the roof with all his strength.

After choosing the location, the two of them looked down from the roof. Fortunately, the voices from below were so loud that even Chu Junyi could hear them clearly.

The following two groups are confronting each other, one of which is the group of aunts who want to be matchmakers, and the other is the farmers from the neighboring village who usually come to pay their respects.

And the central idea of ​​their quarrel was about matchmaking.

Chu Junyi was embarrassed, but Gu Chengzhi looked at him with a half-smile.

"I said it has nothing to do with me." Chu Junyi argued.

Gu Chengzhi glanced at him, then looked down, nodded thoughtfully and said, "I know."

"Then you still ask me to reason." Chu Junyi said dissatisfied.

"Who made you unclear, someone took advantage of your loophole." Gu Chengzhi curled his lips.

Gu Chengzhi naturally knew that Chu Junyi would not let women in, and it was probably because some words were misinterpreted.

The two confronting groups below were about to fight, the farmer's team was filled with righteous indignation, and the aunt's team was also indignant.

The farmer's team said that they must never put people around Gu Chengzhi and Chu Junyi. If the relationship between the two breaks down, who will be responsible for another natural disaster?

The aunt team said that they are all kind-hearted, and it is really distressing to see that there is no one around the adults to serve them. Besides, the girls they choose are gentle and considerate, and they will never provoke their relationship!

The farmer's team didn't believe it, one more person in this room would be a lot more, who would want to give away his own man!

The aunt team felt that adults are not the kind of narrow-minded people, and they are served by multiple people, how could they not want to!

The two sides have their own opinions, and the war is imminent.

"Did they all forget... that they planned to be a matchmaker for Big Brother Yu?" Chu Junyi was embarrassed and tangled.

Gu Chengzhi smiled coldly, and said, "Maybe it was aimed at you and me from the beginning."

"Then what should we do now?" Chu Junyi pointed down.

"Wait a little longer." Gu Chengzhi took his hand and asked, "Is it cold?"

Chu Junyi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's okay."

Gu Chengzhi didn't say any more, just stretched out his hand and hugged him into his arms.

"It's not cold anymore." Chu Junyi raised his head and smiled.

"En." Gu Chengzhi cast his gaze downstairs.

The government servants arrived quickly, but the two gangs still did not fight.

However, before the farmer left, he said harsh words, if he dared to put people around the two adults, he would definitely disturb them.

The aunts are all from Fucheng, that is, they want to find something to do when they have a good life. When they met the fierce eyes of those farmers, they were already a little weaker in momentum, but now they are even more sluggish, just to save face. Just hold on.

Chu Junyi looked at it with warmth and guilt at the same time. He knew all the farmers, most of them were from the villages near the river bank.

Some of their villages were destroyed and some of their families lost their lives, but they returned to their hometowns after the flood receded.

They felt that the receding of the flood was due to Chu Junyi and Gu Chengzhi, so they would enshrine longevity tablets at home, and they would bring their families here to kowtow to pay their respects during the Chinese New Year.

Even though Chu Junyi said that those things had nothing to do with them, those people still expressed their gratitude in their own way.

The troublemakers left, and the spectators gradually dispersed. Seeing that there was nothing left and right, Gu Chengzhi took Chu Junyi back. After being out for a long time, he was also afraid that Chu Junyi would catch cold and get sick.

"You must be a good official." Chu Junyi said with emotion: "Otherwise you would feel sorry for them."

"I know." Gu Chengzhi said in a deep voice.

The troublemakers all entered the government office, and were released after being criticized by the magistrate Fan.

The aunts went home, while the farmers went to see Chu Junyi.

Usually at this time, Gu Chengzhi is at work, and they meet with Chu Junyi more often than this busy Mr. Gu.

The farmers briefly mentioned what happened today, and then talked about the harm of concubines.

For example, so-and-so's family in a certain village took a concubine, and the husband and wife turned against each other, and the father and son became enemies.

In a so-and-so family in another village, the man became angry and sick of the old mother because of a woman, and the daughter-in-law and son ignored it. In the end, the vixen took the family's belongings and ran away with the adulterer.

More recently, when the flood came, a man in a neighboring village left his family behind and fled with a woman. His parents, wife and children didn't care about it, so the woman must have instigated it.

The relationship between Chu Junyi and Gu Chengzhi is good, and the farmers can see it, but no matter how good the relationship is, it cannot withstand the instigation of villains.

One hundred years of cultivation can cross the same boat, and one thousand years of cultivation can sleep together. Cherishing blessings is the best, and cherishing blessings is the best.

In fact, Chu Junyi wanted to say that this kind of thing should be the fault of both parties, a slap can't be slapped, the woman has a problem, and the man is not much better.

But thinking about the situation in this world, he didn't intend to say too much, anyway, it's useless, the world is used to blaming women, how can a few words of his change their thinking for decades.

However, he still accepted the kindness of the farmers. There would definitely not be any women in their homes, but there should not be too many people with this kind of thinking. Just thinking about it makes them feel annoying.

Chu Junyi and Gu Chengzhi are still very grateful for the maintenance of the farmers, but it is best not to have this kind of thing happen again, the impact is not very good.

The farmers agreed with all their mouths, and went out to talk to the aunts, but the matchmaking ended here, and even the uncle Yu was clean.

It didn't mean that the uncle was emotional, Gu Chengzhi packed his luggage again, and the tour in mid-February arrived.

This time, Chu Junyi had a better mind, took care of things early, and followed Gu Chengzhi.

The tour lasted five months in February, which was enough time to turn Anhui Province around.

From time to time, Chu Junyi left the group and walked alone, walking around the surroundings. Gu Chengzhi felt relieved because there were people around him.

When they reached a village, Chu Junyi ordered people to stop to rest, while he got off the car to exercise his muscles.

In two months, he will be released for a year. Apart from his official duties, Gu Chengzhi is going after Master Gu.

Chu Junyi and He Hua got along well. When Master Gu was killed, He Hua was the one who was investigating the matter, but all the traces were wiped clean, and there was very little that could be found.

This also proves from the side that the people behind it have all-hands and eyes, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Chu Junyi brought people out alone, also wanting to see if he could hear some other things, there are always some things that are easy to be ignored.

The village was peaceful and harmonious. Chu Junyi said a few words to the farmers, and when he saw nothing unusual, he wanted to leave.

Suddenly, a pigeon flew over Chu Junyi's head, circled twice in the air and then swooped down in one direction.

Chu Junyi: "..." Can he say that this pigeon looks familiar?

"Is that pigeon from your village?" Chu Junyi asked.

"No." The farmer shook his head and said, "Some time ago, a convoy encountered bandits and stayed in the village after being rescued. The pigeon was looking for those people."

Chu Junyi asked where those people lived now, and said that those people might be his friends, because the pigeon was really familiar.

Farmers were skeptical, but still pointed out the direction.

Chu Junyi searched all the way, and finally found the family. He heard from the farmer that there were a lot of people in the convoy, and they rented a large yard. The owner of the yard returned home on business, so he entrusted the yard to Li Zheng.

The courtyard door was unlocked, but Chu Junyi didn't push the door and go straight in. Even though he had seen someone in the courtyard, he still harassed him.

Standing in the courtyard was a woman with a graceful and graceful back. Even though she was dressed in common clothes, she did not behave like an ordinary girl.

The woman paused slightly when she heard Chu Junyi's voice, but she didn't turn her head, but carefully played with the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

Chu Junyi knew that he had disturbed them, so he didn't feel angry, he just stood outside the courtyard and waited quietly.

Moreover, he always felt that the woman's back was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

There is a familiar pigeon in front, and a familiar woman in the back, how can we not say "coincidence".

However, after thinking about it, Chu Junyi couldn't remember where he had seen this woman.

At this moment, the woman finished fiddling with the flowers and plants, put down the objects in her hand, and slowly turned around.

When Chu Junyi saw her face, he froze in place for an instant.

There are always a few people who you can remember who he (she) is the moment you see him (her).

"Sixth Master Chu, long time no see." The woman greeted with a smile.
