marriage contract

"Why do you ask that?" Chu Junyi opened his eyes.

"I just feel..." Gu Chengzhi thought about his choice of words, "Your reaction was too calm." It was too calm.

The corner of Chu Junyi's lips curled up into a faint smile, "Then what do you think I should react? Crying and fussing? Or should I stop you from going?"

Gu Chengzhi got stuck for a moment, kissed Chu Junyi's lips, and flattered him, "It's very good of you."

Chu Junyi sighed. If Uncle Chu or Second Master Chu went out to fight, the old lady Chu and Mrs. Chu would definitely stop them crying, making trouble, and hanged themselves, but Gu Chengzhi couldn't do it. Kind of thing, not to mention...

"Why are you going to fight at the border? What is the purpose of killing the Huns?" Chu Junyi asked lightly.

"Defend the family and the country." Gu Chengzhi replied without hesitation.

"I know, so I won't stop you." Chu Junyi reached out to caress his face.

Defending the home and defending the country can be said by everyone, but it also depends on the actual actions. Sometimes it is not that you are not patriotic, but in comparison, you still feel that your life is more important.

Gu Chengzhi covered his hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it lightly.

"I went to look at the map." Chu Junyi was silent for a moment, "After passing through the three border gates, the road section down to the capital is plain."

The three border passes are indeed dangerous and difficult to attack, but once the pass is broken, the Xiongnu can go straight to the capital, because the road behind can be said to be flat, if so... the soldiers are approaching the city, and the capital is in danger.

Therefore, the border must be guarded. Gu Chengzhi protects not only the border, but also the capital behind him.

"Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen." Gu Chengzhi's arms tightened even more. Chu Junyi understood him and understood him, which made his heart warm and astringent.

"I really think of myself as an Ultraman..." Chu Junyi muttered softly.

"Ultraman? What is it?" Gu Chengzhi asked curiously.

"It's a very unreasonable one who is determined to save the world..." Chu Junyi didn't know how to position Ultraman, and after thinking for a long time, he completed the second half of the sentence, "Half-human creatures are right to say they are non-human. "

Gu Chengzhi: "..."

"Anyway..." Seeing that he was speechless, Chu Junyi chuckled lightly and said, "It's a hero, but Ultraman doesn't really exist... It can be said that he is a hero in the storybook."

"..." Gu Chengzhi rubbed the center of his brows, forget it, anyway, it should be considered a good word if it has the word "hero".

"Stop chatting, go to bed quickly, you have a lot of things to do tomorrow." Chu Junyi pushed him.

Gu Chengzhi glanced at him, kissed him again, and then closed his eyes.

The next day, when Chu Junyi woke up, he was the only one left on the bed. He touched the place beside him, and found that the temperature had already disappeared. Chu Junyi pursed his lips, and lay on the bed for a while before getting up to change his clothes.

It's not just Gu Chengzhi who is busy now, even the servants in the mansion are extremely busy.

After the Chu family split up, Chu Junyi took only two servants to leave. The girl who was originally serving by Mrs. Chu's side was married off by Mrs. Chu after Mrs. Chu's death. Nanny Bai came from the Tang family. Yes, while the other mothers-in-law were assigned to the third room only after they married into the Chu family.

The family that Mrs. Chu married as a dowry belonged to Chu Junyi long ago, and they were not allowed to enter the mansion in those years. Now they can be taken away directly after the separation.

It was the people left behind by the third master of Chu. After Chu Junyi asked, only two rooms were willing to leave with him. It is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. The servants of the Hou's mansion are naturally different from the servants of the side branches.

Chu Junyi didn't force it either, as long as he got the body deeds of the couple, Mrs. Chu didn't talk nonsense, and directly gave him the body deeds.

The people in these two rooms were all stayed by Mr. Chu's side to serve him during his lifetime. Among them was the person who received the letter entrusted by Mr. Chu and the box containing the identity documents.

At that time, Gu Chengzhi also praised Chu Junyi for his good luck. Mr. Zhou was in charge of the Chu family, he was capable and of good character, and most importantly, he was loyal enough.Most of his subordinates are warriors, and when they fight, they are the best of both worlds, but when it comes to managing affairs, they run faster than anyone else.

Gu Chengzhi also needs to bring luggage when he goes out for an expedition. Apart from clothes, medicine and money, Chu Junyi can't think of anything else to bring. After all, this is a quick march and there is no time to travel around. Naturally, light and practical luggage is the best.

Calling Manager Zhou over, Chu Junyi discussed with him, made a list, and asked the people left behind by Gu Chengzhi to look at it, crossed out a few items that were not practical, and filled in a few more, and then Several people prepared separately.

Gu Chengzhi's clothes were placed in the main room, and both of them disliked outsiders entering the main room, so Chu Junyi naturally helped clean up the clothes and the like.

After digging out two sets of durable clothes, they packed them away, and Chu Junyi divided more than half of the banknotes in his hand, and packed them in lotus.

Manager Zhou went to the storeroom to get two ginsengs, wrapped them in silk cloth and put them in a wooden box. These things can hang your life, and they are also just in case.

Moreover, the situation of Marquis Pingding was unknown, so Chu Junyi asked Mr. Zhou to find some medicinal herbs for healing, and picked out some good ones, hoping to help a little.

Then there are all kinds of medicines for healing and detoxification, but Chu Junyi has asked people to prepare everything that can be thought of.

After the luggage was packed, everyone else retreated, and Chu Junyi sat at the table in a daze for a while.

Going to the battlefield is not a joke. If you don't pay attention, you will lose your life. Gu Chengzhi's martial arts are very high, but ants kill elephants more often. Pingdinghou is still seriously injured and unconscious.

Thinking of this, Chu Junyi felt restless, his heart was pounding, and all kinds of thoughts swept over him uncontrollably.

Chu Junyi shook his head, wanting to get rid of those pictures, stood up and took two deep breaths, went into the small study and found a box.

Opening the box, there were a few small peace charms inside, which looked a little old, and they should be quite old.

Chu Junyi picked up a very simple-looking peace talisman, three fingers wide and one finger long, but upon closer inspection, it was found that it was embroidered with fine and dense patterns. It was only because the embroidery thread and the fabric were the same color that it made people feel uncomfortable. If you look closely, you will ignore it.

This was embroidered by Mrs. Chu herself. There are 99 runes representing peace embroidered on this small peace talisman. At that time, he was just born into this world, and he resisted everyone around him because of his fear of this world. .

The Third Mrs. Chu embroidered the safety talisman during the confinement with tears in her eyes, and took him to the temple to pray for blessings with her newly confinement body. seven days.

Chu Junyi's birthday was in the winter moon, the world of ice and snow...the cold Buddhist temple... Mrs. Chu's confinement was not done well, and the root of the disease was also left at that time.

Chu Junyi closed his eyes, his brows were full of melancholy.

Seeing Mrs. Chu San kneeling in front of the Buddha and listening to Mrs. Chu's comforting words, it was from then on that he really wanted to accept this mother.

It's a pity that he wants to accept it in his heart, but his body will still resist uncontrollably, but this peace talisman...

Gently rubbing the runes on it with his fingers, Chu Junyi knew that this safety talisman was useful. When Mrs. Chu brought the safety talisman around his neck, he really felt a sense of comfort from the bottom of his heart .

Although Chu Junyi still resisted others, the sense of ease made him less reject the world.

Chu Junyi picked up another copper coin from the box, which was simple and heavy, with words on both sides, "Peace and Peace" on the front, and "Wealth and well-being" on the back.

That year, the old lady Chu gave the third master Chu a room, but it turned out that Chu Junyi was almost on the verge of death. The third master Chu went to ask for the hexagram, and by the way, also asked for this copper coin for him.

He untied the belt of the peace talisman, put the copper coins in, and tied the belt again. Chu Junyi held the peace talisman in his palm and prayed secretly.

I only hope that these can also bless Gu Chengzhi, he does not force wealth and honor, Chu Junyi only hopes that Gu Chengzhi can be safe, peaceful and healthy.

It is an unwritten rule for the family members of generals leaving Beijing to stay in Beijing.

Rebellion is to punish the nine clans, and the generals and their families will stay in the capital. Even if they want to rebel, they have to weigh it.

If the sons and grandchildren are cut off and the whole family is dead, then what's the point of rebellion.

Of course, there are also people who think that their wives can remarry and their sons can have another child, but we have to see if there are still people who dare to be in-laws with such a person.

The Wei family was trusted by the emperor, and they guarded the border with heavy troops. Naturally, they did their utmost to be loyal to the country.

Even though the border has been a place of bitter cold since ancient times, they have never complained a word.

Even the marriage between Uncle Wei and Second Master Wei was handed over by Marquis Pingding to Beijing, saying that he hoped to stay for the Wei family, the emperor nodded his approval, and that Uncle Wei and Second Master Wei returned to Beijing alternately to get married when there was no war .

And when Grandma Wei and Second Grandma Wei were pregnant, Uncle Wei and Second Master Wei returned to the border, and they didn't even see the child was born.

It's also thanks to the psychological quality of the female family members of the Wei family, if they were soft-tempered, they might have a miscarriage or dystocia.

Gu Chengzhi's subordinates all arrived at the mansion when it was getting dark, and Chu Junyi exchanged pleasantries with them.

Because he didn't know how long they would be waiting, Chu Junyi let them do whatever they wanted while he sat down on a chair.

Seeing what Chu Junyi said, those people didn't refuse, they found a place on their own, and waited for Gu Chengzhi's return together.

Gu Chengzhi didn't come back until dinner time. Chu Junyi had expected that Gu Chengzhi would not come back so early, so he asked Manager Zhou to prepare the meals for these people from the beginning.

Gu Chengzhi came back earlier than last night, and the moment those people saw him, they all got up and lined up, standing upright.

Chu Junyi looked at the tongue secretly. Is this the effect that Gu Chengzhi was stabbed? !

Seeing that all the people had come, Gu Chengzhi nodded, called Chu Junyi to his side, and then began to arrange the follow-up matters.

Beijing must keep people, as well as the transmission of private news, and the most important thing is to protect Chu Junyi.

Those people already knew about these things when they came, but it still didn't prevent them from looking at Chu Junyi with the same eyes as they looked at Daji.

Chu Junyi: "..." Actually, I am really innocent, do you believe it? !

Gu Chengzhi wanted to take some of these people away, and the rest were divided into two groups, one group was left to deal with affairs, and the other group was to stay in the mansion, serving both as nurses and guards. Protect Chu Junyi from the blind spot.

Subordinates: "..."

Chu Junyi: "..."

Seeing that it was almost done, Gu Chengzhi nodded, and the last sentence was that Chu Junyi's authority is equal to his, and all personnel staying in Beijing must obey Chu Junyi's deployment.

Chu Junyi silently looked away.

After Gu Chengzhi finished speaking, he dragged Chu Junyi back to the room, and let those people disband by the way, and went back to pack their things. Those who should go out with him tomorrow should go to the expedition, and those who should move should move.

That group of people just stood there stupidly, watching their boss leave with a Daji-like misfortune, looked left and right, and found that the brothers all had the same expression.

Xue Hu watched coldly, and took them away when they all recovered.

When Gu Chengzhi returned to his room, he saw the luggage on the table. Chu Junyi talked to him, and Gu Chengzhi held his hand after a moment of silence.

"The army has been assembled, and the imperial decree will be issued tomorrow morning, and the army will set off as soon as the imperial decree arrives." Gu Chengzhi said in a low voice.

"Understood." Chu Junyi's expression was very calm, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Gu Chengzhi sighed.

"I'll call someone, just wait a moment." Chu Junyi turned around and went out after finishing speaking.

After the meal, Chu Junyi asked, "Aren't you going to the barracks?"

Gu Chengzhi sat on the couch, drank the tea that Chu Junyi made for him, and breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll go back tomorrow morning. The emperor said he wanted to keep me, but he actually asked me to come back secretly."

Chu Junyi: "..." So, Gu Chengzhi skipped work because the emperor helped cover him? !

"Jun Yi, you must be careful in Beijing." Gu Chengzhi put the teacup aside, held Chu Junyi in his arms and told him that the death of Mrs. Gu was almost a curse, and he was really worried.

"Don't worry, I will be careful." Gu Chengzhi has a grudge against the Gu family, the Chu family and the princes, and Chu Junyi also knows what he is worried about, but he suddenly thought of a question: "Is the emperor very worried?" How many princes do you want to see?"

"Where did you see it?" A trace of surprise flashed in Gu Chengzhi's eyes.

"Name..." Chu Junyi acted in deep thought.
