Cannon Fodder is No Longer with Me - Chapter 283
Mu Xing and Gu Qiaoyin both noticed the change of Gu Wanyin.
Although she still looks gentle and chaste, but a few days ago, she always felt a layer of sadness and uneasiness under her calm appearance.
Now, the sadness and hesitation have been swept away, and the whole person has become brighter.
She even thought about arranging the carriage and took the two little ones to enjoy the maple outside.
On the fifth day of the seventh month, the three did not go anywhere.
Gu Wanyin stayed at home and read to her two children.
Gu Qiaoyin always felt that her sister paid extra attention to herself today, and looked at herself from time to time.
She was a little puzzled, but she liked her sister’s attention to her very much. Every time Gu Wanyin looked over, she raised her head, showed a well-behaved smile, and looked back.
until it gets late.
Fu Xiu came in, gave a bow, and said with a smile, “Miss, everything is ready.”
Gu Wanyin smiled a little, stood up, and held Gu Qiaoyin and Mu Xing: “Come.”
Lanterns were hung in the yard in advance, and a table of sumptuous meals was placed in the small pavilion for viewing the view.
Gu Wanyin is not a person who likes extravagance. On weekdays, the three of them eat with four or five dishes that are slightly passable. It is rare to be as extravagant as today.
The inner and outer courtyards also set up banquets for the servants serving in the other courtyards.
The three sat down.
Gu Wanyin was obviously in a good mood, and even asked Fuxiu to prepare a small pot of fruit wine for herself.
In front of Gu Qiaoyin and Mu Xing, there is also a delicate little wine jug, but it is filled with sherbet.
Gu Wanyin had someone pour a glass of sherbet for the two children, and toast with them, the smile on her face never stopped.
Mu Xing asked curiously, “Sister Gu, is today a good day?”
Gu Wanyin answered cheerfully, “Yes, today is a good day.”
Qiaoyin did not drown, nor did she die.
She will be fine, looking at the syllables and the stars.
Today is the day she bid farewell to that dream.
On Gu Wanyin’s fair and beautiful face, two blushes clearly appeared.
She stood up and waved boldly: “Come, my sister will take you to have fun!”
Crossing the flower and bird corridor, there are already several maids waiting for them there.
Mu Xing saw what they were holding at a glance: it was a number of huge Kongming lanterns.
Following Gu Wanyin, Mu Xing saw that there was a table next to it with pen and paper on it.
Gu Wanyin walked to the table and wrote down one of her wishes very religiously.
Then brought Gu Qiaoyin over and asked her, “Does Qiaoyin have any wishes?”
Gu Qiaoyin replied cutely: “I’ll be with my sister forever!”
Coaxed Gu Wanyin to bow her head and kiss her, then held her hand and wrote stroke by stroke on the white paper: “May Gu Qiaoyin live a happy life, free from illness and disaster.”
Then, carefully fold the wishing note and put it into the Kongming lantern.
He brought Mu Xing over and asked him the same.
Mu Xing felt that he had nothing to promise, the biggest catastrophe of this body was over, and now he found Gu Wanyin, a gentle and kind owner.
Moreover, Mu Xing thought proudly: Making a wish to Kongming Lantern is not as effective as my wish.
But when he met Gu Wanyin’s earnest eyes, he didn’t want to spoil the little girl’s interest.
He said, “Then I hope that everyone’s wishes come true.”
Gu Wanyin burst out laughing, reached out and tapped his forehead: “You are too greedy.”
Finally, she made a wish for her brother, not to make achievements, not to shine on the lintel, but only hope that her brother can return safely and be reunited with the family.
As for the family far away in Beijing?
If Gu Wanyin had such a faint fantasy about her father before the dream, then after waking up, there would be nothing left.
The maids helped light the fire.
The movement here naturally also alerted other places.
Mother Wang, who was in bed, couldn’t help frowning when she heard the noise outside: “It’s so late, what happened?”
The little girl who took care of her was one of the people she chose after she came to Ronghua Town. She originally planned to train her and send it to Gu Wanyin.
Gu Wanyin was sent directly to take care of her, and the two went to the east wing together.
The little maid said enviously, “Miss today is in a good mood. I ordered everyone to enjoy the flowers and drink in the yard. Everyone will be rewarded.”
As a mama who is “respected” by Gu Wanyin, the east wing naturally also has rewards.
It’s just that compared to the lively outside, the two here are alone and facing a gloomy old face. It is natural to say which is more comfortable.
Mammy Wang has been in trouble lately, and she frowned as soon as she heard it: “It’s not an important festival, so extravagant, isn’t it a joke?”
The little maid was lying on the edge of the window and looking out, when she saw a few bright sky lanterns rising, she couldn’t help shouting: “Ah! There are sky lanterns, so beautiful! “
Mammy Wang became more and more unhappy, and sat up with support: “It’s getting worse and worse, no, I have to go and see…”
With such a smash, Wang mama was inevitably dizzy again.
Since that day, she cried and complained that she was old and frail, and after Gu Wanyin let her take a good rest, she felt like a ghost, really sick.
It’s not uncomfortable here, it’s uncomfortable there, and I don’t have the strength.
She was suspicious at first, afraid that someone would harm her, and did not trust the doctor that Gu Wanyin found, so she quietly asked the doctor to see her.
After the doctor’s diagnosis, he only said that he was working hard all the year round.
I didn’t say when it would be better, just let me rest.
But after so many days of recuperation, the medicine is also taken every day, and there is no effect at all. I was very tired all day, I felt dizzy when I moved a little bit, the weather was almost bad, my arms and legs were sore all over my bones.
Seeing her like this, the little girl rolled her eyes, came over to cover her with the quilt, and complained: “I said, mammy, if you’re not in good health, don’t be stubborn, it’s me who suffers in the end. .”
She was assigned to Wang Mama.
She is old and bad-tempered.
The more I thought about the little maid, the more indignant I became. Seeing that Mammy Wang was still sullen and disapproving, she couldn’t help but said: “Mama, you should calm down. Miss benevolent, nostalgic. Qing, when you lift you up, do you really think of yourself as the master here? No matter how decent you are, you are nothing but a slave. You really think of yourself as an elder, and you want to teach people a lesson?”
Mother Wang turned blue with anger and glared at her: “You bastard! I’ll go tell the lady right now and let her sell you out!”
My lord or something…”
Mother Wang’s expression changed.
Mother Wang glared at her fiercely, speechless.
The little girl said those words impulsive, and she actually regretted it.
But the matter has come to this point, she and Wang mama broke up, but she became more courageous.
I simply threw the handkerchief in my hand, ignored Mammy Wang, and went outside to eat – Gu Wanyin did everything, Mamma Wang couldn’t come when she was ill, and she also Let someone bring a table of good dishes.
The little maid had a good meal by herself, picked up some leftovers and put them together, and handed it to the bedside of Wang mama: “Eat it by yourself.”
Mother Wang: “…”
She said fiercely: “Stinky girl, you have the ability, don’t let me get better.”
The little maid was stunned by the eyes of this evil spirit, but when she thought of Wang Mama’s recent appearance, she suddenly regained her confidence.
Just like this, it’s hard to say whether it will get better.
With this idea in mind, she became more and more inattentive when she served her. Every day, she only kept Wang Mama’s body clean, so that outsiders could not see anything wrong.
Later, she gradually found that no one came from the east wing, and she became more courageous. Even the medicinal materials sent by Gu Wanyin dared to hide it quietly and sell it, and then buy some cheap ones. Fully charged.
Wang mama never imagined that she would be planted in the hands of the maid she chose by herself.
How could Gu Wanyin not know anything about the movement in the east wing?
It’s just that the mama Wang was held back by the little girl and didn’t dare to tell her, and she was happy to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
She wished that this wicked woman would die soon, but now she has the chorus and stars by her side, and she doesn’t want to get her hands dirty in front of the two children.
More than ten days passed in a flash.
There has been no letter from the capital, and Fuxiu couldn’t help but say: “The Mid-Autumn Festival will be coming soon, won’t Master come to send a letter to urge Miss to return to the house?”
This kind of family reunion festive day, is it difficult for the young lady to spend it alone outside?
Gu Wanyin’s eyes sneered: if she could choose, she would be more than happy to live here with Qiaoyin Xingxing.
No.
If both parents are at home, she will not go back during the Mid-Autumn Festival alone, and on the second day of custody, there will be rumors that the eldest daughter of Gu Shilang’s family is not filial.
She sighed: “Go on, pack up, let’s go back to the capital in two days.”
Fu Xiu just responded, and Lingxiu suddenly jogged in beaming.
“Miss!” She held an envelope in her hand, her cheeks flushed with excitement and joy.
This scene is so familiar.
Gu Wanyin’s eyes widened, her heart suddenly thumping.
“Lingxiu…” she shouted hoarsely.
Lingxiu finally took a breath and shouted: “Eldest son! It’s a letter from the eldest son!”
Just at this moment, a little maid hurried over from the other side with a panicked face: “Miss, it’s not good, Wang mama… she’s going to die!”
Mu Xing walking hand in hand with Gu Qiaoyin: Aw! Double happiness!
