The dead enemy in the previous life gave me joy

Even though he really doesn't want to admit it, Gu Zhai has really made these two things for so many years. Shepherd's purse wonton and water shield soup are all learned by Gu Zhai in the military camp, and he himself once thought that as long as his mouth is not picky, eating these two things will satisfy him , and his hand wontons and soups are already perfect, which brother in the camp would not say that they are delicious.

But what Chu Chu said was clearly disgusting.

Gu Zhai asked, "Do you think it tastes bad?"

But Chu Chu replied sincerely and calmly with the words "delicious", which made Gu Zhai a little confused.

After recuperating for a long time, until the beginning of May, the weather finally warmed up, taking advantage of the good mood, and when Gu Zhai finally agreed to lift his gate control, Chu Chu ran to Zuimenghuan.

I heard that a kind of leaf brand has become popular in Shangjing recently, and there are people doing it every day in Zuimenghuanli, and it just so happens that Meisu and the others did one today.

Chu Chu had never heard of this leaf card before, so she was naturally curious.

On the five-color glazed square table was the leaf card. Mei Su, Lu Ruo, Chu Chu himself and the Lu brothers sat down accordingly. Chu Chu didn't know how to play. Slowly understand the mystery.

Such as those "tigers eat leopards, leopards eat wolves, wolves eat monkeys..." and so on, the mind is as exquisite as his, and it doesn't take too much effort to play.

After getting better and better, relying on good luck, he won several hands from the three houses on the opposite side, and earned a lot of good things from them, such as Mei Su's fine paintings, several altars of wine collected by Lu Ruo, Lu Ruo's A few bolts of Hangzhou silk newly purchased by the brothers from Suzhou and Hangzhou...

Who knew that Chu Chu was actually a person with extraordinary talents. If not for this, the four of them would not have played cards with him. They still wanted Chu Chu to bleed profusely, so why did they themselves get the "hurt" in the end?

Chu Chu looked at the good things he had won, and went home happily, and went back with a pair of leaf cards by the way.

He thought that someone like Gu Zhai, who has been in the army all year round, would definitely not know this new thing. If he could play a good hand of cards and beat Gu Zhai, he would be able to see Gu Zhai become a defeated opponent. ...

In the past, it was fun to tease him every time on the battlefield. Thinking of this, Chu Chu was in a better mood, and even thought about what to do if Gu Zhai lost and punished him.

Gu Zhai's study room, if it can be used as a bargaining chip, at least let him go in and see what kind of treasure is hidden there, he pursed his lips, and the corners of his eyes glowed.

"Go and invite the general, just say that I invite him to play something new, hurry up!" Chu Chu said to Zhou Yun.

Gu Zhai was free these days, so he didn't go to the military barracks, and stayed in his study room that no one could enter. Day Yun didn't dare to touch Gu Zhai's bad luck, disobeyed Gu Zhai's order, and only dared to stand outside the study room and take Chu Chu I reported my intention to Gu Zhai, but when I saw that there was no movement in the room, I thought it was Gu Zhai who didn't want to respond, so I gave up.

At this end, Chu Chu arranged the cards, but Gu Zhai hadn't been seen for a long time, and a trace of displeasure crept into his heart.

He flicked the cards in his hand back and forth boredly.

First press the next one,

Gu Zhai will definitely come back, he will definitely be curious...

Press another one,

Gu Zhai is definitely not coming!There must be something more interesting than playing cards in his study, what to do, he really wants to know...

Press another one,

Gu Zhai will definitely come, he often comes to his courtyard to play with the fox on weekdays!

Chu Chu leaned on the stone table, feeling bored.

——"What do you think?"

——"I wonder if Gu Zhai will come..."

—"You want him to come?"

--"Um."

Before entering the mansion, Gu Zhai often heard that the princess' son-in-law was very romantic and the most debauched, but now he felt that he was quite well-behaved except for being a little willful and sometimes doing some out-of-the-ordinary things.

Gu Zhai walked around Chu Chu and sat down on the stone bench facing him, "Tell me, what's new? That little fox isn't big enough for you to play with it?"

"Little fox doesn't know how to play this, Gu Zhai, what do you see in my hand?" He excitedly held up the card in his hand to show him, "This is the most popular leaf card in Shangjing recently. I'll teach you how to play, it's easy."

Chu Chu arranged the cards and carefully taught Gu Zhai bit by bit. Wang Po sells melons, and she has to praise her if she doesn't sell well!

Bah, bah, bah, he is the belief of the people of the Ling Kingdom, how can he not sell well a little "melon"!

Seeing Gu Zhai get started little by little, Chu Chu was a little relieved, and even more excited!He couldn't wait to play a game of leaf cards with Gu Zhai, this time he was going to kill everyone.

It's not that Gu Zhai doesn't know how to play leaf cards, the routines on this card can be roughly understood by Chu Chu once he explains it, but it's interesting to see Chu Chu painstakingly explaining it to him, so he doesn't bother stop him.

The final result was two victories out of three, and Gu Zhai took the lead to win two rounds, which Chu Chu didn't expect, Chu Chu thought, luckily he didn't mention the bet quickly, otherwise he would lose!

"In a few days, I will go to pay homage to my mother, and I want to take you with me." Gu Zhai said to him with a straightened attitude.

Chu Chu didn't think too much, since he bears the title of the wife of the general's mansion, it is really necessary to go with Gu Zhai to worship, so he agreed.

In midsummer, it was indeed a bit sweltering, and if Chu Chu hadn't been ill for so long, Gu Zhai would have taken him to the grave early in the Qingming Festival to pay homage.

After reporting to the princess and the bachelor, on this day, Huang Mo set up a carriage for the two masters early on.

The speed of the wheels rolling was not very fast, and Chu Chu didn't know the specific direction to go after leaving Shangjing, but seeing that Gu Zhai's expression didn't suggest that he was going the wrong way, he felt relieved.

After arriving at the destination, Chu Chu found that the grave of Gu Zhai's mother was different from what he had expected. Like the graves of ordinary people, the tomb of the mother of a general who is the god of war in a country was so inconspicuous.

Gu Zhai put out joss sticks, fruit offerings, and paper money from the basket, and pulled Chu Chu to kneel in front of his mother's grave, with a sad expression on his face.

This is a different Gu Zhai, or it can be said that it is Gu Zhai that Chu Chu has never seen before. The tenderness he exudes is not so paranoid, strong, and arrogant.

It turns out that a god of war as strong as Gu Zhai also has such a soft side in his heart, Chu Chu sighed.

After offering sacrifices to Gu's mother, Gu Zhai made a detour to the rear again, but this time he did not lead Chu Chutong.

Feeling curious, Chu Chu quietly followed behind him and saw a small tombstone.

The tombstone is made of bluestone, simple, without a word engraved on it, it is actually an unnamed tomb, but I don't know who is buried inside, Gu Zhai is probably an extremely important person depending on how much he cherishes it?

"I won't be returning to Shangjing for the time being. My mother owns an old house in Cangchun Town, which is far away from the world. You have just recovered, so I will take you there to relax."

"Alright." Chu Chu allowed him.

He is very satisfied with a lotus pond, two fences, and three small courtyards, which are completely different from their Lingguo life.

Chu Chu even thought that it would be great if he could live in such a rural courtyard like this for the rest of his life, without war and disturbance, so that he could forget the war and disturbance in his heart for a moment.

At night, when the crescent moon hangs over the forest, Gu Zhai took Chu Chu to go boating on the lotus pond with great interest. In the pond, the dark water was flowing and the eaves were decorated with bright stars. Chu Chu probably understood why there are always those people in Sichuan who love The poetry is right, probably because this kind of life is so beautiful, it really makes people want to relieve.

A light boat with a leaf was floating, because it was May, and the lotus stem had not yet had time to sprout buds, only a little bit of soft pale pink was exposed. Chu Chu picked a lotus leaf to cover her face, and lay on her back in the boat , The breeze slowly sent wisps of lotus fragrance, refreshing the heart and spleen.

"Gu Zhai, the lotus pond in your house is really nice, I've never felt so comfortable before." Chu Chu said to Gu Zhai.

"It's not a good season at this time. It will be good when the lotus in the June Pond is in full bloom. These lotuses were planted one by one by my mother back then."

Unexpectedly, such a large lotus pond was actually planted by Gu's mother!

"My mother is a lotus picker. When I was very young, she would wrap me in cloth and tie me behind her back, and pick lotus in the lotus pond." Gu Zhai stared at the lotus leaves, "Later, when I grow up, I will help She rowed a boat and dug lotus root with her..."

Chu Chu had eaten the candied lotus root of the old man in Panning City, but had never seen a real lotus. It was a little hard to imagine. He only remembered a sentence from a poem that read "the lotus leaves are infinitely blue in the sky, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun." [1 ]

He wanted to see the pond full of green leaves and red flowers!

Keenly aware of Gu Zhai's sadness when he mentioned his mother, Chu Chu hurriedly comforted him: "When the season comes, I can also accompany you to pick lotus roots. Your lotus pond is here, and you don't have long legs."

The young man was dressed in red silk, which was a bit hazy under the reflection of the moonlight, but Gu Zhai saw his sincere face and bright eyes when he said these words.

Gu Zhai's mood eased, Chu Chu felt relieved, and asked him casually: "Excuse me, who is buried in the unwritten stele next to your mother's tomb? If you don't want to say, just pretend that I never asked."

"There is nothing to say, he is someone I love very much."

Loved one?

Could it be Gu Zhai's sweetheart?

Chu Chu recalled the situation in the Golden Luan Hall, when the emperor pointed out the marriage. At that time, Gu Zhai also said that he had something to belong to, so that was the case, because the person he loved had already passed away, so he couldn't say it out loud.

It can be explained, but why not engrave the name?

The more he thought about it, the more curious he became, so Chu Chu had no choice but to persuade himself to give up. Gu Zhai had already made a concession to return to him just now, so it was better not to pester him to find out the name of his sweetheart, who lived and where he lived. The stele can keep the beauty's name in my heart.

"The general is really the number one lover in the world." Chu Chu praised.

Gu Zhai laughed, he didn't know what he was laughing at, he said: "People are gone, what's the use of being infatuated now..."

These words seemed to be self-deprecating, Chu Chu heard a bit of helplessness and sadness, but most of them didn't know what to understand. Perhaps he could only understand the meaning of it when he also had someone he truly loved one day.

Chu Chu thought, it would be great if there is wine at this time, but if you don't sing and get drunk on the lotus pond, everything will be silent.

Beautiful scenery on a good day, pleasant things[2], he really shouldn't have been so sentimental, he felt a little regretful, he shouldn't have talked too much about asking Gu Zhai about this.

The author has something to say: [1] From Yang Wanli's "Send Lin Zifang at Dawn at Jingci Temple".

[2] From the preface of Xie Lingyun's "Imitation of Prince Wei's "Ye Zhongji" Poems": "It is difficult to combine the four of good times, beautiful scenery, pleasing the heart, and pleasure."

Gu: What do you think?

Chu: I was wondering if Gu Zhai would come...

Gu: Do you want him to come?

Chu: Yes.

Chu:?

Chu: woc! ! !I ain't I don't!

To avoid misunderstanding, friendly reminder:

It is not Tao Jiang who was buried in the wordless stele. Tao Jiang was buried in Wengshu Tomb in Caotang Temple of Lingguo (recorded in Chapters 12 and 13), but please note this bluestone wordless stele.
