Rebirth: Bringing a Husband to a Well-off Society

Chapter 23
After the meal, Gu Xicheng told Gu's mother to bring Shen Lu into the mountains. Naturally, Gu's mother would not disagree. She always focused on her son's opinion, but Gu Xixue, who was sitting in front of the main room with a small stool and embroidering flowers, disagreed. I have to have my brother and sister-in-law take her with me.

Gu Xicheng patted Gu Xixue's head and said: "Xue'er, be good, listen to my brother, I will take her there, and I will be back in a while, Xue'er will obediently embroider flowers at home. Girls always need to do a good job of embroidery before they can get married." people."

Although Gu Xixue was reluctant, she still nodded her head. She was always used to listening to her elder brother's words, so no matter how reluctant she was, Gu Xixue couldn't follow her.

Gu Xicheng walked in front with a basket on his back, and Shen Lu followed behind him like a little daughter-in-law. When the old lady in the village saw the two walking one after the other, she joked with a smile: "What does the Gu family boy do with his wife?" Go, look at the appearance of your daughter-in-law, Shui Ling, you have to hurt a little, just by standing there, she doesn't look like a country girl."

Gu Xicheng stopped in order to wait for Shen Lu, and was also afraid of her embarrassment. Besides, the aunt's words probably said that Shen Lu couldn't stop working. After all, the mother really let her rest for a long time, so she answered the question " Aunt Chen praised her, it is her blessing, but after all, she is a country girl, she is not like what the aunt said, but she is not feeling well these days, my mother loves her, let her rest for a few days, and do some odd jobs at home That's all, this person has to be spared, if there is something wrong, it's still my family."

Aunt Chen is so old, she can hear the good words, so she naturally knows that Gu Xicheng has something to say, she nodded and said: "The Gu family boy is very right, after all, he is a scholar who understands these things, like you, Uncle Chen, who never knows how to be considerate , your daughter-in-law is a blessed one."

When Gu Xicheng saw Shen Lu walking up to him, he nodded to Aunt Chen, took Shen Lu's hand and left, Shen Lu didn't know what happened, so he was pulled by the hand, feeling a little awkward, but he couldn't say anything .

At the foot of the mountain, Gu Xicheng let her go calmly, and Shen Lu asked tentatively: "What happened just now? What did that aunt say?"

Gu Xicheng glanced at her and turned his head and said: "It's nothing, it's just that you like to gossip. You're walking too slowly, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up."

Shen Lu nodded lightly and didn't speak any more.

Gu Xicheng looked around casually and said, "Do you want to go directly into the mountain, or look at the foot of the mountain, Xue'er probably didn't finish taking you around."

Shen Lu looked around and said, "Let's go directly into the mountain today, and bring me back when there is nothing else to do."

Gu Xicheng nodded and said: "Let's go, go into the mountain, I'll show you some other place, there are some places where one person can come and the other can't, Xue'er will take you to safe places, there are Do not go to several places, although there are no wild animals, but there are poisonous snakes and poisonous things."

Shen Lu followed Gu Xicheng silently, listening to his explanation.

Seeing her following behind, Gu Xicheng said, "Hand in hand, you follow behind me, if something happens, I don't know."

Shen Lu pursed her lips, and handed her hand to Gu Xicheng, without saying anything. It would be useless to say any more polite words now, she was the one who proposed to enter the mountain, and he also said that he would protect her, so since it is mutual wish, then there is no need to say anything Gu Xicheng probably doesn't like to hear any troublesome words.
