It's not good to be a widow [Comprehensive]

Ignoring Mr. Mei Er's embarrassing precautions, after drinking the medicine for a month, Lu Jinglu found that if he didn't say anything else, at least his appetite had really improved, and he never had a meal again. It's a sad thing that every bite is full after being served.

However, as the South China Sea enters summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and she, a modern person who is used to air conditioning, is not quite used to it.

Of course, there is ice in the city lord's mansion to cool down the house, but Mr. Mei Da said before that she is weak and can't touch the ice until she is recuperated, so Ye Gucheng told the following not to put ice in the bedroom this year.

A group of maids were very moved by this, and took advantage of the opportunity to sigh to Lu Jinglu: "The city lord treats his wife so well."

Lu Jinglu was speechless, why didn't they think that Ye Gucheng only came back every day to eat supper and sleep, and there was wind at night, after all, it was not as hot as during the day!

There is also supper. Although the two of them still eat together habitually now, the kitchen has begun to serve them separately.

Ye Gucheng can drink ice yogurt that has been put in the ice mirror for several hours every day, but she can only drink steaming white fungus soup, lily soup, etc.

The contrast was too dire, and Lu Jinglu didn't want to eat at the same table with him.

So this evening after dinner alone, she simply asked the maid to inform the kitchen that she didn't have to prepare her portion at night.

Ye Gucheng came back from work, pushed open the door, found that she was not sitting at the table waiting for him as usual, and was stunned for a moment.

The next moment, he frowned and strode in through the bead curtain, and when he looked inside, she was already lying down.

Ye Gucheng paused, thinking that she was unwell, so when he stepped forward, he deliberately relaxed his movements.

Lu Jinglu's work and rest schedule is very stable now, skipping the supper step and going directly to bed, she is naturally not asleep, but turned over and faced the wall when he heard him push the door.

After a while, she heard his cold voice from behind her head, asking her what's wrong and if she needs to call a doctor.

Lu Jinglu: "...No, I'm fine."

Ye Gucheng: "?"

Coincidentally, at this time, the kitchen had also finished tonight's supper, and he said outside the house, "How about something to eat first?"

"I'm not hungry, I won't eat." She grabbed the quilt, she didn't have the nerve to spread all her resentment on him for not being able to eat ice, she turned over again, facing him, and said, "You... how much do you want?" Eat some."

The bed the two of them slept on was bought by the old steward of the city lord's mansion after Ye Gucheng decided to marry a wife. It was wide enough to accommodate five or six people. At this moment, she was huddled in the innermost place, leaning against the wall, thin and thin. The younger one was wrapped in the quilt, only showing half of her porcelain-white face. Looking at it from Ye Gucheng's perspective, she felt that her eyes were full of grievances and pity.

This looks very much like a white cat that was once raised in the city lord's mansion. Ye Gucheng's heart softened when he saw it, and he instinctively didn't want to force her, so he said: "Then you rest first."

Then he turned around and went outside the curtain to eat a plate of cold noodles and a bowl of iced yogurt.

When he came back after eating and washing, Lu Jinglu also felt drowsy, lying on his side in a daze, muttering that you are done eating, and then fell asleep with his head tilted.

Ye Gucheng thought for a while, then stretched out his hand to put the half of her exposed arm back under the quilt, and then closed his eyes with peace of mind.

That night, he dreamed of the cat that he fed every day when he was a child, but finally jumped out of the fence and ran away without warning.

He walked over and gave it a fresh small fish to eat, but it didn't eat a bite, instead it grabbed his sleeve with one claw, threw itself into his arms and rolled twice, refusing to get off him.

He had no choice but to hold the cat to practice swords, and when he turned around after the practice, the cat disappeared again. Under the rockery by the Xijian Pool, Lu Jinglu sat there with disheveled hair, bared his teeth at him, and looked back happily at him. Bumped over excitedly.

Before waking up, he seemed to hear her meow...

This dream is very inexplicable, but as the saying goes, it may be his own fault in the final analysis.

Thinking of this, after he got up, he simply practiced the sword for an extra hour.

The beginning of summer is approaching, and the sword test will be held soon. Because of the thorough preparations in the early stage, there are fewer things pressing on him now.

This was originally a good thing, but he was a little distressed, because he had been eating supper alone in the past few days, even if he came back after dark, Lu Jinglu must have been lying down.

Ye Gucheng finally realized belatedly that his wife seems to be in a bad mood recently.

Mr. Mei Da said that Lu Jinglu's frailty was not only due to the blockage of the meridians caused by the medicine, but also because of her excessive worry and depression in the past few years.In order to maintain a healthy body, in addition to taking medicine for recuperation, one must also maintain a good mood. Otherwise, no matter how many medicines are prescribed to her, it will only get twice the result with half the effort.

Ye Gucheng thought for a while, and ordered his sword servant to ask the maids in the mansion to see if he could find out why Lu Jinglu was in a bad mood recently.

As a result, the maids said in exactly the same way: "Is Madam in a bad mood? Why do I feel the same as usual, I don't see anything."

Ye Gucheng: "..."

Seeing that he had a headache because of this, the two sword servants who had followed him since he was a child looked at each other, stepped forward and asked tentatively: "City Lord, why do you think Madam is in a bad mood?"

Ye Gucheng: "She won't eat at night."

After a pause, he added: "Don't wait for me."

The sword servant was speechless, no matter how it sounds like a conflict between husband and wife, what's the use of asking the maid.

But they couldn’t say that, they didn’t have the guts to ask Ye Gucheng to reflect on what he did wrong, so they could only say: “Otherwise, if you give Madam a gift, maybe you can make her happy.”

Ye Gucheng: "What should I give?"

The two sword servants pondered for a while, then said in an uncertain tone, "Rouge and gouache? Jewelry?"

Rouge and gouache were rejected by Ye Gucheng without thinking about it. He knew that Lu Jinglu didn't use it at all, but jewelry...he didn't seem to see her much enthusiasm.

There are several boxes in the house, and she always only opens the first one, and sticks one into her head at will, and the make-up is completed.

Sword Waiter: "..."

They had no choice but to guess along this line of thought: "Maybe Madam doesn't like those styles."

Then after the sword test meeting is over, ask those caravans who have returned from overseas to buy something different, Ye Gucheng thought so, and he was relieved.

The next day was the five-year sword trial meeting in the South China Sea.

Five years ago, Ye Gucheng had just inherited the position of the city lord. In order to quell the coveting of other sects in the South China Sea for Feixian Island, he specially participated in it.

In fact, it was because he won the first prize at that time that Baiyun City would do it this time.

As if in response to the scene of the sword test, there was a rare rain in the South China Sea in the middle of the night before, which swept away the uncomfortable sweltering heat before.

The temperature outside was moderate and it was extremely lively. Lu Jinglu didn't want to continue squatting in the house to grow mushrooms, so she took her maid to the other garden where the sword test meeting was held on the north side of the city lord's mansion.

On the way, the maids chattered with her a lot about the sword trial meeting.

"The city lord will not end this time, and the leader is probably the head of Xingyuan."

"That's not necessarily true. Didn't you say that Guashan has also produced a very powerful swordsman?"

"Have you forgotten the eldest lady of the Shenji faction, she also participated five years ago, but lost to our city lord in the end!"

Lu Jinglu didn't know any of them, she just thought she was listening to the cross talk, and she was very happy to hear it, and said that she would know if she looked carefully when it came later.

However, before they got there, Ye Gucheng received the notification that she was coming, and came to pick her up on his own initiative.

When the maids saw him, they all retreated immediately.

Lu Jinglu couldn't say anything, so she could only follow him.

He didn't take her through the main entrance, but went directly to a small three-story building between Bieyuan and the City Lord's Mansion.

Looking down from this small building, it happened to be able to see the sword competition arena in the other garden. It was his style to see the excitement and quietness at the same time.

Lu Jinglu looked at it for a while, and realized that he wasn't completely blind. The movements of many sword moves were regular, and there were also connections between sword moves and sword moves, which was very magical.

"The girl in white is going to lose." After a quarter of an hour, she suddenly said, "Is it?"

Ye Gucheng glanced down, nodded and said in affirmation: "Well, she is not as good as that Guashan disciple."

Lu Jinglu: "But her moves are very dexterous, and she performs them beautifully."

"Just having airs, no matter how dexterous it is, is useless."

"..." City Lord Baiyun is really strict.

After watching three games back and forth, Lu Jinglu felt that his eyes were a little tired, so he looked away.

Seeing that her attention was no longer on the ring, Ye Gucheng asked her if she wanted to go elsewhere.

He still remembered her bad mood recently, and thought that taking this opportunity to breathe a little longer might make her feel better, after all, such comfortable weather is very rare in the South China Sea.

The two went down the small building just like that, preparing to cross Beiyuan and go to the other end of Baiyun City.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he passed there, he ran into a beauty in white clothes who came out of the door with a sword on his back.

When the beauty saw Ye Gucheng, her eyes lit up instantly, and then she rushed towards the two of them like a gust of wind.

Lu Jinglu instinctively felt that this was Ye Gucheng's fan girl, so she immediately took a step back and landed behind Ye Gucheng.

Sure enough, as soon as this fairy-like beauty with a sword on her back stood still, she softly called City Lord Ye.

"I didn't see you inside." The tone was three parts joyful and three parts reserved, and the rest was full of admiration, "I wanted to come out to have a look, but I didn't want to bump into you as soon as I came out. What a coincidence."

Ye Gucheng: "Is there something wrong?"

He was so indifferent, the beauty was not surprised, instead she pursed her lips and said: "Five years ago, you and I fought in Guashan, and I lost to you. This time, the sword test will be held again. I know you will not participate, but I... I still want to boldly ask you for advice, I wonder if you can agree to my request?"

Lu Jinglu thought that based on his enthusiasm for the sword, he should agree, but he refused, which was a very shameless way of refusing.

Ye Gucheng said: "When you competed with the disciples of Xingyuan Sect just now, although you won, your mind was not on the sword at all."

"There is such a good sword in Kong, but you don't take it seriously. You are not suitable for using a sword. I have no point in comparing with you."

As soon as these words came out, let alone the beauty who came to talk to her full of admiration, even Lu Jinglu was dumbfounded.

"And you can't beat me." There are even more rude ones.

Lu Jinglu: ...Ye Gucheng is so cruel and manly!
