There is a girl in the village

Lu Yuanchang's departure made Gu Xiaofu feel the helplessness of being a military lady again, even if she was sent away, so what, after all, she couldn't keep this person.

In fact, the current life is already very happy, at least, Lu Yuanchang is still in the city, instead of going to the front line to die, Gu Xiaofu feels that as long as this person is still alive, it will be fine.

For Lu Yuanchang's resolute opposition, Gu Xiaofu was very sad. This was the first time she had the idea of ​​doing things for herself instead of becoming someone else's vassal. Whether it was Zheng Da or Lu Yuanchang, Gu Xiaofu felt that , although she is a weak woman, she can do some things, even if it is just a small pastry shop, it is her hard work and achievement.

In this era, women do not have independent personalities and ideas. All their time and energy are devoted to their husbands and children. For a lifetime, from the cardamom age to the gray hair, they do not live for themselves, but always live for others.

However, Gu Xiaofu, who had been thinking about it all night, made a very bold decision. She wanted to spread the cakes without telling Lu Yuanchang!

In the past few days, although Gu Xiaofu was extremely busy, she was extremely fulfilling, handing boxes of pastries to others, and hearing the affirmation of others, Gu Xiaofu felt that her work was not in vain.She has been ignored for too long, and she has endured for too long. The stubbornness in her bones has kept her from giving up on herself when encountering various difficulties. Then, why can't she work harder to realize her own value? .

Gu Xiaofu knew that her thoughts were too bold, something that women of this era would never dare to have, and it was not tolerated by the code of ethics. She had never resisted Lu Yuanchang's decision, even if she wanted to sever ties with the Gu family, Lu Yuanchang married Zhu's family without discussing with herself, and she accepted it silently.At that time, she never thought of struggling, maybe she didn't dare, maybe she didn't want to, women just accept it, not to mention that Lu Yuanchang was thinking of herself.

But this time, Gu Xiaofu just wanted to do it, especially those strong and brave women in the history books, who wandered in power, no matter what the purpose was, but they all did great things, and history has not forgotten them.

Gu Xiaofu did not dare to be compared with the women in the history books, but the fearlessness of the women in the history books gave her great courage.

After breakfast, Gu Xiaofu told Zhenniang about Lu Yuanchang's decision. Sure enough, as Gu Xiaofu thought, Zhenniang felt regretful and helpless, but she didn't resist at all.

"Sister-in-law, I thought about it all night last night, and I decided to open a pastry shop." Gu Xiaofu knew that it was absolutely useless for her to open a shop by herself, and she must drag Zhenniang into the water, so that Yang Rong would come to help, even if She opened the shop, and it was impossible for her to show her face in public. For outside affairs, she had to rely on Yang Rong.

"Didn't A Yuan dislike your opening a shop?" Zhenniang looked at Gu Xiaofu in surprise, feeling that something about Gu Xiaofu seemed to have changed.

"She doesn't like me showing up in public, and she doesn't want me to work hard to open a shop. I know all this. But, sister-in-law, think about it, the things in Fencheng are so expensive. When we come to the city, we can't do anything, so we rely on you Yuan's salary wants to live a family, can it work?" Gu Xiaofu would not talk about her ideals and wishes with Zhenniang, and if she said it, she would not be treated as a monster.

"That's right, among other things, Dandan will discuss marriage in a few years. Our family doesn't even have a place to live. Dalang (Yang Rong) has no skills, so he can only work as a coolie in the city, or give others How long will it take to save some money by copying books?" When Zhenniang said these words, she felt very ashamed. Yang Rong was the elder, and Lu Yuanchang was the youngest. They should be the elder brothers to help the younger brothers. Now they are all living in the younger brother's yard, isn't it? Slap in the face?

"Sister-in-law, brother, tell him when you come back, let's open the shop without telling Dalang (Lu Yuanchang), and the family will each take [-]% of it. Business, how much you do is your own business, and you don’t have to go out to give people part-time jobs to see people’s faces.” Seeing that Zhenniang was very moved, Gu Xiaofu continued to say: “Sister-in-law, don’t think that Da Lang is very majestic, It's not easy for her to live in the General's Mansion, it's also difficult to be controlled by someone above and pushed up by someone below her."

"Fu Niang, after all, you are literate, and you think clearly. A Yuan also loves you so much that you are not allowed to open a shop. Don't be sad." Although Zhen Niang agreed, she was still a little uneasy. Lu Yuanchang refused, but if Yang Rong wanted to, that would be another matter.

Coincidentally, Yang Rong came back that night, and Zhenniang tried her best to dazzle Yang Rong, so she agreed in a daze.

When he woke up the next day, Yang Rong leaned on the bed and thought about the plan of the two women. He felt that it was feasible. Going to the cavalry gambling house, I have been worrying about this recently.Now it's a great thing to open a shop at home, and seeing someone come to ask for pastries early in the morning, Yang Rong is determined.

According to the discussion of the three, Yang Rong opened the shop, and Gu Xiaofu and Zhenniang were just helping out. In this way, Gu Xiaofu would not be considered as violating Lu Yuanchang.Yang Rong got busy that day, he asked Guan Zhong to help him find a shop, while Gu Xiaofu and Zhen Niang were dealing with people who came to ask for pastries, while discussing the fancy patterns of pastries in the shop, but they were busy. Extremely.

Lu Yuanchang, who was concealed by his closest relatives, still received protection fees every day, closed the city and went to the general's mansion to see Yunyan.A few days later, Yanyun's injury has healed a lot. For a person like her, as long as she is given a chance to survive, she will not give up.

There is no need for persuasion to eat or drink medicine. When she can go to the field, Xiaocui will let Xiaocui walk around the yard to bask in the sun.

On this day, Lu Yuanchang took the Four King Kongs to Yunyan Courtyard as usual.The Four King Kongs did not enter the house, but stopped after following in the courtyard.

"Brother Cheng, you said our boss wouldn't really like Miss Yunyan." Feng asked suspiciously. It was because Lu Yuanchang was too gentle with Yunyan, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"I haven't hooked up with a woman before, so I don't understand." Zhang Cheng hummed, but there was worry in his eyes.

"Brother Zhan, do you understand?" Feng Huai raised his eyebrows and asked, he always liked to talk about Fei Zhan's appearance.

"Boss won't!" Fei Zhan said firmly.

"Why?" Feng Huai didn't understand, where did Fei Zhan have the confidence.

"When the boss looked at Miss Yunyan, his eyes were ruthless." Fei Zhan said.

"Yo yo, brother Zhan is a sensible person." Feng Huai couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

In Yunyan's house, it is very quiet. She is a person who knows how to enjoy herself. She lights a stove of smoke, makes a pot of tea, and reads opera books leisurely. What Lu Yuanchang sees is this seemingly harmless, elegant and indifferent woman. woman.

"Are you feeling better?" Lu Yuanchang asked lightly.

"It's good to eat and drink, and it's good to be good." Yan Yun put down her hands, leaning on the bed and looking at Lu Yuanchang.

"Do you know how you got such a life?" Lu Yuanchang couldn't understand Yunyan's indifferent appearance, but she didn't want to disturb her mind because of her. She calmed down and said, "Treasure it well." , you only have ten days to live."

"Oh? Didn't you save me?" Yun Yan seemed to have not heard that her death was not far away, she remained calm.

"The general only gave you a half-month deadline. If you don't recruit again, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass this test." Lu Yuanchang also played tricks, and the deadline of January was obviously [-] days.

"I'll just die, I shouldn't have lived in this world." Yun Yan took a sip of her tea and spoke calmly.

"You should die, it's a pity, bad guys can always live for a long time, but..." Lu Yuanchang looked at Yunyan, raised his eyebrows and said: "I don't know what happened to you, why did you sacrifice your life for that person, but , have you ever thought about what you are in his heart!"

Yun Yan maintained a faint smile all the time, but after Lu Yuanchang turned and left, her whole body collapsed. She had been waiting for the man to rescue her, but it had been several days without any news.

Yun Yan knew that in this situation, she was afraid that the person had given up on herself. She was not afraid of death or torture. What she was afraid of was just the belief in her heart suddenly collapsing at a certain moment.

Wang Chao received a report from someone who came to know the relationship between Lu Yuanchang and Yunyan, and felt that he was ridiculous. He was not angry that Lu Yuanchang didn't confuse Yunyan according to his own ideas, but he realized that someone like Yunyan Brothel girls, how can they value feelings, whores are ruthless, actors are ruthless, and Yun Yan, besides being a brothel girl, should be a spy who has been mobilized and taught since childhood, how can such a person speak out for the sake of feelings.

Guan Zhong is a capable person, within a few days, he found a small shop in a part of West Avenue, Gu Xiaofu wore a veil, and Yang Rong and Guan Zhong took him to see it, although it was not the most prosperous The location is not bad, but the wine is not afraid of deep alleys, as long as her pastries are delicious, people will come to buy them.

The shop was small, and they couldn't afford the big one, so they negotiated with the shop owner and rented it at a monthly rent of 20 taels of silver.The shop was originally a study business, and the decoration equipment inside was not complete. Yang Rong took Gu Xiaofu home and discussed with Zhenniang about the renovation of the shop.

In the midst of being busy, the days passed quickly, and it was Lu Yuanchang's rest day. In order to hide from Lu Yuanchang, Yang Rong specially asked the workers in the shop to call off work early that day, and bought a lot of ingredients for Gu Xiaofu. Make a big meal.

During dinner, Yang Rong and Lu Yuanchang talked about the current situation of the family. The two elders of the Yang family will not enter Fencheng in the short term. The Zhu family will probably come in three days. He was well-educated, and was hired as a teacher by a nobleman in the city. Zhu Dalang and Zhu Erlang were studying while opening a private school, preparing for the court Enke in the next year.

"A Yuan, everything is fine at home, don't worry." When Yang Rong said this, he was hesitant to say anything. He really wanted to tell Lu Yuanchang about the shop, but when he saw Gu Xiaofu gently yelling at him, Shaking his head, he swallowed the words abruptly.

Lu Yuanchang saw that Yang Rong's complexion was different, and her heart was pounding. Now all the close relatives are settled, and only Yang Rong has not made a living yet. She thought, maybe she was helping Yang Rong on an errand in the General's Mansion. , the general's mansion is so big, it is still possible to house individuals.It's just that her relationship with Wang Chao has been a little stiff recently because of Yunyan's incident. If she asks for help at this time, it may not be easy to succeed.

Zhenniang was very winking, knowing that it was not easy for Lu Yuanchang to come back, so she urged everyone to eat early, and asked Gu Xiaofu to accompany Lu Yuanchang back to the room to rest, while she slowly cleaned up the dishes.

Gu Xiaofu followed Lu Yuanchang back to the room, and was very worried that she would rush forward like last time. Although she also wanted Lu Yuanchang, she didn't like Lu Yuanchang's rush, as if she was only for sex. In intercourse, two people get together less and leave more, and it is more intimate to talk about what is in their hearts.

However, Gu Xiaofu's worries were superfluous. Lu Yuanchang was in a bad mood for a while, and when he got back to his room, he sat by the desk in a daze, which made Gu Xiaofu wonder.

"A Yuan, aren't you happy in the General's Mansion?" Gu Xiaofu walked behind Lu Yuanchang, and gently pressed her head for her.

"No, you don't have to worry, everything is fine." Lu Yuanchang leaned back in his chair, enjoying Gu Xiaofu's tenderness.

"Godfather and godmother will arrive in the city in three days, do you have time at that time?" Seeing Lu Yuanchang closing her eyes comfortably, Gu Xiaofu smiled slightly. She liked this kind of tranquility very much, just like in Luoxi Village. like that.

"I was in office that day, but I can go to the city gate to greet you when I patrol the city. How about I accompany you to pick me up?" Lu Yuanchang knew that it was not appropriate to be busy with personal affairs when he was in office, but Zhu's family was Gu Xiaofu after all. If she doesn't show up to her natal family, where will Gu Xiaofu's face be put?

"If you can't get away, you don't have to force it. It's the same when you visit your godfather's house after Muxiu." Gu Xiaofu said very caringly, how could she not understand Lu Yuanchang's intentions? Sometimes fine, although he is a bit domineering in some things, but he is always good to himself.

Lu Yuanchang didn't want Gu Xiaofu to be too tired, so he took her little hand, hugged her in his arms, tried not to think about the bad things in the general's house, and said dotingly: "I don't have parents, your biological father I don't know where my mother is, my father-in-law treats you so well, how could I lose my manners, how could I let you lose your head in your mother's house."

Gu Xiaofu gently stroked Lu Yuanchang's exhausted face that could not be concealed. She felt distressed and felt guilty. She wanted to tell her about the shop several times, but she couldn't get the words out of her mouth.

Ever since the Wenxiang Tower incident happened in Fencheng, Wang Chao ordered the entire city to be under martial law. Recently, many people were arrested, causing panic in the city. Gu Xiaofu knew that Lu Yuanchang, who was Wang Chao's personal army, would definitely It's very busy.The affairs of the general's mansion are all military matters, Lu Yuanchang can't say anything, Gu Xiaofu can't ask, except for cooking a delicious meal for Lu Yuanchang when she is resting, and taking good care of her diet and daily life, Gu Xiaofu will never talk about it. Lu Yuanchang couldn't be helped.

"A Yuan, rest more outside, drink less, there are many people and things are complicated, and there are always some things that are difficult to deal with. You don't have to be too serious, everything is decided by the general."

Lu Yuanchang looked at the gentle Gu Xiaofu, and was very moved. No matter how troubled he was outside, when he returned home, seeing Gu Xiaofu smiling at him would always make his heart open and peaceful.

"Fu Niang, do you like life in the city?" Lu Yuanchang looked at Gu Xiaofu and asked, because she was busy these days, she neglected Gu Xiaofu, since she decided to go to the city, it was only herself decision, and did not ask Gu Xiaofu what he thought.

"Compared to Fencheng, I still prefer Luoxi Village. However, if you are on the front line, I think the current life is the best. At least, you are still by my side, and I always know your safety." Gu Xiaofu said honestly that Lu Yuanchang is a person who likes to hide his thoughts in his stomach, if Gu Xiaofu doesn't talk to Lu Yuanchang again, the two will only become more and more distant.

Fencheng is not Luoxi Village. The sky and the earth are big here, and there are many people and things. If you change the environment, people will always change. Gu Xiaofu herself has changed, and Lu Yuanchang is outside every day. How can she always be the same Luo? Lu Yuanchang from Xi Village.

Hearing this, Lu Yuanchang felt a little sour in his heart. She is not a person with great ambitions. It is just fate's arrangement to get to where she is today. She was forced to go forward and couldn't turn back. Lu Yuanchang hugged Gu Xiaofu tightly. Tightly, looked at Gu Xiaofu affectionately, and said solemnly: "My wife, I promise you, no matter where I am, I will never be greedy for glory and wealth. Once the war is over, I will accompany you back to Luoxi Village. Still living an ordinary life, I hunt, you do needlework, if you have free time, I will take you out to play, and I will accompany you wherever you want to go, okay?"

"Yeah!" Gu Xiaofu nodded deeply moved. This seemingly simple promise is extremely precious. Few people can refuse a high position of power. Few people can be so affectionate. Lu Yuanchang has many shortcomings. , but the heart she treats herself is always so sincere.

This night, both of them hid their thoughts, but it seemed that their hearts were much closer.
