Gu Erbai's Pastoral Life

Chapter 163 (seventh update)
Everything seems self-evident.

The mother and concubine said that the host is a person who has experienced changes.

She was right, as a mother, she could tell at a glance that no one knew a child better than she did.

At that time, the owner was just a child.

But where does he look like.

……

After Jiang Li'er finished speaking, she held her breath and remained silent for a long time.

Looking at the stars in the cool night with her weary eyes through the embroidered screen window, she spoke slowly, her tone as soft as cotton wool.

"Sister, do you understand Brother Qing?"

His heart has been empty since he was 12 years old.

It is like a city that has been frozen for decades by loneliness, covered with snow and ice accumulated all year round.

That is how much love, how much fiery light is needed to fill it up and dissolve it little by little.

Without enough love and patience, it is difficult for ordinary people to do it.

Like, she was worried that Gu Erbai couldn't do it at all.

From her birth.

In the heart of the field owner, he is like a god.

He saved a dying family, gave her a second life, and blessed her to grow up in the most favorable environment.

He is the eternal benefactor of the palace, always ranked first.

She should have been grateful.

But after so many years, when she looked at him, that love had already surpassed her gratitude by a thousand times.

So all these years.

No matter how indifferent and ignoring he is to her, she doesn't care.

As long as he is willing to let her stay by his side, or even unwilling, she just keeps watching silently.

For the rest, she was not at ease whoever they would hand them over to.

When Jiang Li'er thought of the host, she should have been sad, but there was always a gentle smile on her face that she couldn't even detect, she moved her body and faced Gu Erbai, she didn't know how much courage she mustered up.

"Sister, if Li'er is sincere to you, can you tolerate Li'er? Even if you let Li'er be a concubine or a servant, Li'er will have no regrets."

……

In the air, there was a faint fragrance of flowers flowing, and Gu Erbai's even breathing could be heard.

Xiao Taozi sighed secretly, she was so glad that Madam fell asleep at this moment.

She couldn't imagine that Princess Jiang, who has always been arrogant and domineering and self-proclaimed, is willing to be so humble in front of love.

Such a rival in love, to Madam, is like an invisible mountain that cannot be moved or moved.

"go……"

In the dream, Gu Erbai frowned dissatisfiedly, and kicked reluctantly.

Dead Uncle Qing, actually ran over to pull her over, and watched the civet cat change the prince with him, just watch it, and even in front of such a touching, noble and elegant drama, he didn't see the old lady's face next to her Is it all dark?
A certain Bai Yue was left with a deep psychological shadow by a certain wolf at a banquet.

Jiang Li'er gently stretched out her hand, and pulled back the quilt she had kicked off.

When Xiao Taozi saw the slender wrist stretched out, she was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes.

She heard nothing, heard nothing.

Then, shortly after, she repeated verbatim to the lady.

……

Lunong in the middle of the night.

In the bustling banquet hall of the Gu Mansion, the lights are still brightly lit, and the stage of "Yi Yi Ya Ya Ya" has already changed from the civet cat to the prince to Yu Tangchun.

The old lady of Gu's family folded her hands on the crutches, her body was staggering, she was so sleepy that she dozed off, her chin hit her hands for a while, but driven by her will, she still held on tenaciously.

Gu Yiqing looked funny, and told Xiao Xingzi behind him, "Help the old lady go back and rest."

When the old lady heard this, she felt as if she had taken a magic medicine, she was full of energy, and she turned her face with eyes full of vigilance.

"What? Are you impatient again? Just stay with me, an old lady..."

Gu Yiqing listened to her long series of scolding, while she shed sleepy tears, the brows moved slightly, as if a dutiful son understood, he lowered his head and continued to look at the account book.

Behind her, Xiao Xingzi secretly covered her mouth and smiled, how could the old lady act like a child, and she was jealous of the little lady.

"The host, the host~"

At this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the banquet hall.

Xiao Xingzi turned around, and saw Steward Liu walking towards this side in a hurry, followed by a man with a square cap and blue robe, who looked a bit blessed, and the man walked in a hurry, walking to the scene in three steps and two steps In front of the lord, before the lord turned around, wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead, he cupped his hands panting and opened his mouth.

"Wang Fugui, the villain of Water Town, has something to report to the owner."

Hearing this, the old lady turned her face to look at him in surprise. The visitor was unfamiliar, he was tall and thick, with a thick head and a tiger brain, and his behavior was indeed inappropriate. How could he come from the town in the middle of the night to make a report.

Butler Liu glanced at him, feeling very impolite.

Gu Yiqing put down the ledger, raised his eyes and glanced at his anxious face, and said calmly, "Yes."

Panting for breath, Wang Fugui suddenly knelt down with a plop.

The old lady was really startled.

"It's really wrong for the villain to disturb the owner late at night, but the villain has something urgent to say, even at the risk of being maimed by the county magistrate.

A few days ago, the owner of the farm visited our town to inspect the terraced fields. It was the dry season, and you allocated some money to the town to build waterwheels and hire labor for drinking ditches, but I didn’t want to. The money fell to the county In the hands of Cheng, the big guys have never seen it again.

The water town has been in drought for more than ten days without a drop of rain, and the water in the villagers' fields is almost bottomed out. The men, women and children in the town have no choice but to raise funds to divert water.

But this matter had to go through the government again, and the money was swallowed up again. The county magistrate who wanted to be in power was famous for eating vegetarian food in the corpse and oppressing the people. In the end, there was no other way, and the whole family was forced to mobilize, carrying buckets of water into the fields to irrigate.

Pity my 60-year-old father, he still has to go to the field at a very old age, he followed me yesterday, carrying two loads of water, slipped down the mountain without paying attention, and never woke up again, the owner of the field, all this Blame it all on the county magistrate being innocent, you must make the decision for the little one..."

At this time, Wang Fugui had already knelt on the ground with his whole body, and the intermittent mourning tune in his throat was already sobbing.

After hearing this, the old lady took a long breath of air-conditioning, and the fire in her heart suddenly rose.

Gu Yiqing looked at him, tapped the desk with his long fingers very rhythmically, his eyes were covered with an unknown meaning, "Where does the county magistrate use all the money?"

Butler Liu nodded, "I want to report to the host, just as he said, on the second day after you left Shuizhen, the county magistrate will take a card from Man Yuan Chunli back home to be a concubine for fun."

Hearing this, the old lady's complexion was livid with anger, and she clapped her hands on the desk, her expression was very excited.

"Bold! This little county magistrate is sensual and lustful. He exploits the common people and kills them without seeking his own government in his position. He has eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard!"

　There is a foreshadowing for the matter of terraced fields.
