Mountain People

Dong Chenghu patted Gu Shuixiu's hand reassuringly, and said with a long sigh of relief, "I know what you said, Niuniu... She really cares about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but so what? As long as she's still our Niuniu, it's fine, as for the rest, we don't know it, as long as our family is fine."

Dong Chenghu knew more things that Gu Shuixiu didn’t know, and even in some cases he knew better than Gu Shuixiu. But what he feared was not why Dong Qinyan was so abnormal, but that Dong Qinyan would suddenly leave them.

Thinking back to the first time he knew he had a daughter, he was so excited that it was like a dream, he still remembers that he was afraid of melting the daughter in his mouth, holding it in his mouth. Afraid of falling in his hand, the baby is incredible. If something really happened to Dong Qinyan, he would not be able to accept such a blow.

Gu Shuixiu seemed to feel Dong Chenghu's unease, she was silent for a while, pursed her lips, and said softly: "Chenghu, after this matter, let's help Yuan Xu lay the foundation of Daqi, just Is it good to go back to seclusion? Go back to Cuizhu Mountain and continue to live a life of living and resting at the sunrise.”

"You like that kind of life? Don't you think it's hard?" Dong Chenghu asked amusingly, but his heart was filled with warmth. His water show is always his water show. no change.

Gu Shuixiu shook her head gently and said softly, "It's still a solid life in Cuizhu Mountain, although there is no such wealth and glory, but the peace of mind is my hometown, and Cuizhu Mountain is the two of us. The painstaking effort belongs to us only, and if I can spend my old age there, I will be content."

Dong Chenghu heard the words, hugged Gu Shuixiu tightly, his eyes were full of tenderness, "Yes, when Daqi stabilizes, I will give the throne to Yuan Xu, if I can stay there When I find my hometown, let's go back and have a look. If we can't find it, we'll go back to Cuizhu Mountain and continue to live as hunters in the mountains. When we have leisure time, we go out to hunt, and even if we don't go out, we can eat what we raise at home. Livestock, have their own fields, plant your favorite flowers and plants, drink tea and blow the wind in the shade of the yard in summer, and chat in the warm sun in the yard in winter, how wonderful..."

In the beautiful life sketched by Dong Chenghu, Gu Shuixiu fell asleep unexpectedly. In her dream, there was no country, no politics, no conspiracy, no children, only the two of them. happy ordinary people live.

Time flies between my fingers, but in a few moments, Dong Qinyan gets married.

A carriage slowly drove into Jiankang City Gate. On this special day, if you want to enter and leave Jiankang, you need to go through layers of inspections, but this carriage is unobstructed, all the way through Jiankang Kang Street, headed straight to the direction of the Imperial Palace.

Zhang Nian'er in the carriage was a little nervous and a little hopeful, looked at Dong San on the opposite side and asked: "Grandpa Dong San, today is the wedding day of Princess Qingcheng, so I entered the palace like this. , will it cause trouble for the Empress?"

When she set off from Linhai County, her uncle told her repeatedly. Now the Dong family is not what it used to be. She can no longer call her aunt and grandmother. Aunt Yan can't be called Aunt Yan anymore, she must be called Princess Qingcheng respectfully. She has repeatedly warned her several times along the way, and it's much easier to call her now.

Dong San said lovingly: "Miss Nian'er, don't worry, if the Empress and Princess Qingcheng see you, they will be very happy. That's it."

Zhang Nian'er nodded obediently, and secretly lifted a corner of the car curtain curiously, looking at the bustling Jiankang Street with excitement in her heart.

The carriage drove through the bustling street and began to enter the quiet residential area of ​​the mansion. Zhang Nian'er looked at it for a while, and then put down the curtain of the carriage and continued to sit obediently.

After a while, the carriage stopped, and there was the sound of soldiers questioning outside. Dong San lifted the curtain of the car and went out to say a few words, then turned around and said to Zhang Nian'er: "Miss Nian'er, we are here. The palace is over, we can't continue to ride in the carriage, we have to come down and walk, can you?"

Zhang Nian'er got up and got off the carriage without hesitation, and her petite body stood beside Dong San, looking very cute.

Those soldiers were all in the Imperial Forest. When they saw Dong San bringing a little girl into the palace, they thought it was the child of their own commander, and their eyes widened in amazement. Some of them were familiar with Dong San. The guards of the Imperial Forest Army even sneaked up to ask, "Commander, is this child your daughter? She looks so cute!"

Dong Sanhu stared, and was about to explain when Zhang Nianer showed her cute little tiger teeth and smiled sweetly: "Uncle, I'm not Grandpa Dong San's daughter."

"Grandpa Dong San? Commander, when did you have such a high level of seniority!" Just called grandpa?

The guards of the Royal Forest Army listened, and they scattered in droves, not daring to stay for a long time.

One big and one small in the palace, and finally came to Mingxiu Palace. Gu Shuixiuzheng and Cuixi Meimei were talking about Dong Qinyan's marriage, and suddenly they heard the news from the outside palace. , Dong San asked to see him.

Gu Shuixiu smiled in surprise: "They are back! Quickly invite them in."

Zhang Nian'er followed Dong San closely, looking at the people around her curiously. There was the beauty of Cuixi she was grooming, and there were many strangers she had never seen before.

Seeing Zhang Nian'er in the beautiful scenery, her eyes are full of love, she stepped forward to give Zhang Nian'er a half salute, and said with a smile: "Miss Nian'er, the servant will take you to see the Queen, remember to salute the Queen. …”

The beauty was explained again in Zhang Nian'er's ear.

In just a while, Zhang Nian'er has come to Gu Shuixiu, looking at Gu Shuixiu who is smiling softly, but very dignified, Zhang Nian'er feels both familiar and unfamiliar, remember Zhang Junchi and Jingjing's advice , immediately knelt down to salute Gu Shuixiu, "Zhang Nian'er pays respects to the Empress, the Empress will go to Wanfu Jinan."
