Chapter 34: , puppy
Si Xianchun didn't know what to do in this situation, but he also knew instinctively that this kind of thing was very bad.
Gu Miru didn't even let him kiss her, how could he do this?
Si Xianchun was so anxious that his eyes were a little red, but he didn't dare to move.
This is not something he can control, but Si Xianchun feels deeply ashamed for it.
Gu Miru had helped him hide his sister, but he still woke her up accidentally, and had such a reaction to her, making both of them so embarrassed.
Si Xianchun felt that he was really bad.
When he was so anxious that he was about to suffocate, Gu Miru finally got up with her arms propped up, quickly put on her shoes, put on a cape, and left the room.
Gu Miru felt that she needed to calm down, calm down completely.
She went outside for a while while the cool wind was blowing, while her mind was still in a mess. Si Xianchun opened the door and draped his fox fur cloak over Gu Miru's shoulders.
Said to her: "It's too cold outside at night. I'm already comfortable. I'm sorry, I'll go back to my own room now."
"Anyway, it should be dawn soon. My sister slept very hard. I went to see it. I was sitting at the table and doing something..."
After Si Xianchun finished speaking, she turned around and left, Gu Miru moved her feet and moved her lips, wanting to tell him that it had nothing to do with it.
You can't blame him for this kind of thing, it's she who is pressing on him.
And Gu Miru didn't feel offended, how could anyone be offended by apologizing all the time, almost crying with shame?
But Gu Miru moved a bit, but in the end she still didn't go after Si Xianchun.
I can't give him hope, I don't plan to stay, all hope I give him is a knife that stabs him.
Gu Miru stood outside for a while, and heard that Si Xianchun had returned to her room, and then Gu Miru went back to sleep.
But in the second half of the night, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at all. Gu Miru's ears were still pretty good, and she could hear Si Xianchun slowly carving something.
When Si Xianchun carves things, he is very slow and patient, and he treats every little thing carefully and solemnly.
There has never been such a situation where the knife goes too deep. Just like Si Xianchun, he always leaves room for others.
Gu Miru simply couldn't sleep well. She got up very early in the morning and prepared a lot of hearty breakfast after going to practice martial arts.
Cuilian, Zhang Qian, and Xu Si were already able to prepare for the opening of the store on behalf of Gu Miru and the guys in the morning, so Gu Miru even stewed bone soup this morning and steamed a pot of various Small buns like small animals.
It can be regarded as a good reception for Si Jingrou before she gets married.
It stands to reason that before the daughter gets married, the family will cook a lot of delicious food, and these things are handled by the mother.
Si Xianchun and Si Jingrou's mother passed away, and the eldest lady of their Si family mansion would never take care of this kind of thing, so Gu Miru simply prepared it.
I didn't buy the materials on the spot, but Gu Miru's craftsmanship was very good, and the sky was completely lighted up after everything was done.
When Si Jingrou got up in the morning, she saw her brother carving something at his desk, and quietly walked behind her brother and patted her brother.
Si Xianchun's hand didn't even shake, she turned to Si Jingrou and said, "Go wash up, your sister-in-law has already cooked breakfast."
"You got up too early too. How do you know she's already cooked, it's just getting brighter today."
Si Xianchun pursed his lips and didn't answer. He didn't leave the room for a long time, and Gu Miru went to the back to practice swordsmanship.
The meal must be ready now, and Si Xianchun can already smell the aroma.
Now as long as he smells what Gu Miru is cooking, Si Xianchun will feel hungry.
He likes the things Gu Miru cooks very much, likes Gu Miru as a person, likes everything about her.
Just knowing the meaning of liking this, Si Xianchun silently used the word in all things about Gu Miru in his heart.
Apart from these two words, Si Xianchun didn't know what to use to describe how he felt about Gu Miru, just like last night...
He really didn't mean it.
But that was also the first time that Si Xianchun had reacted to a person. It turned out to be this feeling.
It's as dull and uncomfortable as feelings, but it can't be relieved at all.
Si Xianchun closed his eyes and took a deep breath, opened his eyes and exhaled slowly, and then continued to carve the things in his hands.
When the three of them were having breakfast together, Si Jingrou finally realized that something was amiss between Gu Miru and Si Xianchun.
The intimacy still looks intimate, but the movements of the two are extremely unnatural.
Si Jingrou should have left in the morning, but she was very worried when she discovered the problem between the two, so she took the initiative to ask her brother to visit the carpenter's shop where her brother learned craftsmanship.
This request was reasonable and reasonable, so Gu Miru followed suit and said, "Then you can go with your brother. I won't go because the store is busy."
Gu Miru put the two brothers and sisters on the carriage, then smiled and waved them away before returning to the store.
As soon as Gu Miru's figure on the carriage entered the store, Si Jingrou immediately closed the small window, turned her head and asked in a low voice, "Brother, is there a conflict between you and my sister-in-law?"
Si Xianchun was stunned when he heard the words, then panicked in his heart, and quickly said, "No."
"I grew up with you, and I have watched you for many years, brother." Si Jingrou looked at Si Xianchun and said, "Of course I know how happy you are, brother, and what you are worried about."
"Tell me, you looked pretty happy when I came last night, why did you get into trouble all night?"
Si Jingrou said: "It shouldn't be because of robbing the quilt at night."
After she finished speaking, she laughed. As a result, Si Xianchun remembered what happened last night, and couldn't control her face turning pink.
The more he didn't want to do this in front of his sister, the more... he didn't know what to do.
"Don't guess." Si Xianchun said with a serious face: "I have nothing to do with her."
Si Jingrou saw that her brother blushed, and was stunned to recall what she just said.
Then he covered his face and didn't dare to say a word.
Could it be that there was a conflict because of the discordant issue of the bed?
It can't be her brother... Her body hasn't recovered yet, so she can't satisfy her sister-in-law, right?
No wonder I simmered two soups this morning, all of which are Dabu soup.
Omg.
Si Jingrou really didn't know what to say this time, she couldn't say such a thing at all.
The two brothers and sisters blushed, and no one spoke any more along the way. After arriving at the carpenter's shop, Si Jingrou reluctantly stabilized her emotions and took a look around.
After staying for a while, he left. After returning to the shop, Si Jingrou thought that she had to say a few words for her brother.
But she herself is a big girl who has not left the cabinet, what can she say?
In the end, Si Jingrou didn't dare to look into Gu Miru's eyes, and hesitantly expressed that she wanted to leave. Gu Miru asked Zhang Qian to go to the car and was going to send Si Jingrou back.
Before leaving, Si Jingrou got into the carriage, and when the curtain of the carriage was about to be lowered, she grabbed Gu Miru.
He opened and closed his lips several times, and in the end he just said vaguely, "My brother is a slow person... Sister-in-law, you have to be a little more patient with him, he is really nice."
Gu Miru didn't know what she was talking about, so she nodded.
Si Jingrou was still a little worried when she sat back in the carriage, but she couldn't say anything more about this kind of husband and wife.
As soon as Si Jingrou left, the frozen relationship between the two resumed.
It was even more frozen than before. Originally, three meals a day would be eaten together twice in the morning and evening. That was the only time they were together.
But Si Xianchun was very sorry because of what happened that night. He was afraid that his appearance would make Gu Miru uncomfortable, and at the end of the day, he ate in the house.
Gu Miru stayed alone in front of the store during the day, and stared blankly outside after selling the meat.
The system said in Gu Miru's mind: [The host doesn't need to think too much, even if he likes you very much now, the illness will drag on for a few more days, and there will be no dutiful son before the bed for a long time, let alone a husband and wife...]
However, the words the system said were actually quite unconvincing. Si Xianchun's temperament was different from others.
He seems to be a very soft person, but he is actually very stubborn. His soul is very tough, otherwise it would not have reached the point where the collapse and self-destruction would affect the world.
But it's not enough to let him be with Gu Miru. If he is really with Gu Miru, then when Gu Miru leaves, he might die.
The system persuaded Gu Miru, but she couldn't even persuade herself, and Gu Miru didn't respond to it, so she sighed in Gu Miru's mind.
In the blink of an eye, the day has come to the day when Si Jingrou is about to get married.
One day in advance, Gu Miru asked Zhang Qian to drive them to Xunzhou City in a carriage. The two found an inn and stayed at an inn. When they ate in the cubicle at night, they listened to everyone talking about Prince Ning's marriage.
"Prince Ning was imprisoned by the sage in the remote countryside of Xunzhou City, and he used the name of Chongsha to force him to marry a businessman's daughter. Hey, in my opinion, this woman's life is going to be miserable!"
"I heard that Prince Ning's temperament is uncertain, and he often beats and kills family slaves. It is said that many people who were brought out of the palace have been thrown on the mass grave..."
"This marriage is nothing but a humiliation. I heard that there are many nobles in the imperial city. I don't know how lively the wedding will be tomorrow."
"Pity the girl in the Si family who is like a flower and a jade..."
"The daughter married by the Si family is not a direct daughter, but a concubine. It is said that the concubine of the Si family took the place of the concubine's marriage. This concubine does not match the fate of the prince at all!"
…
The discussion below continued, and everything was said.
Si Xianchun wore a hat on his head, he didn't eat anything for a meal, his sleeves on the table were tightly clenched by himself, and his eyes were full of worry.
Si Xianchun also knew that this marriage was not a good marriage, but according to his parents' matchmaker, Si Xianchun, a brother, couldn't even take care of himself, and could not help his sister.
Si Xianchun felt extremely guilty. As an older brother, he didn't even dare to appear in front of people and defend his sister.
Si Xianchun lowered his head and kept looking at the tableware and chopsticks beside his table, he had no appetite.
Gu Miru had already guessed that when he came to Xunzhou City, his mood would definitely fluctuate violently.
This Xunzhou City is where he grew up, and it is also the sad place where he was humiliated and rejected in the plot before.
The system detected that Si Xianchun's mood was declining, and even the self-destruction value was slowly rising. Gu Miru sat there and didn't speak at first.
It was really uncomfortable to see Si Xianchun later. After so many days, I finally took the initiative to tell him, "It may not be as bad as they said."
"I sent someone to inquire about the situation of Prince Ning's mansion. The slaves that Prince Ning killed were all spies sent by his royal brothers."
"He's not born with cruelty and bloodthirsty, it's just that he's rather gloomy. Now he's in a wheelchair and can't beat people. As long as Xiaorou gets married and doesn't provoke him, it'll be fine."
Gu Miru said to Si Xianchun in a calm voice: "A prince who has fallen into such a field and is reduced to marrying a businessman's daughter, this marriage is indeed a humiliation to him."
"So I told Xiaorou that night that she should be optimistic about her own dowry after getting married. Don't go to Prince Ning's side. It's better not to include the room, and be ready to remarry at any time."
"As long as Xiaorou doesn't do unnecessary things and doesn't get involved in those court battles. She's just a small trash fish in Prince Ning's back house. Prince Ning won't deal with her at all."
"You don't have to worry too much, Xiaorou is extremely lucky."
At the end of the book, the heroine becomes the queen. Although there are twists and turns in the middle, it is indeed blessed.
Gu Miru hadn't spoken to Si Xianchun in such a soft-spoken manner for a long time, and this kind of reassurance was extremely useful to Si Xianchun.
Following Gu Miru's explanation, Si Xianchun's heart and emotions seemed to be flattened, and the violently fluctuating self-destruction value gradually calmed down.
Gu Miru continued to encourage Si Xianchun: "Although Xiaorou is a woman, she is not helpless."
"The Si family can't be her backing, but you can. You can learn carpentry in the future, and have your own hobbies and careers. You are Xiaorou's retreat."
"If he really wants to remarry, you can also look at the next husband. You just need to get better and better, and everything around you will get better and better."
Si Xianchun stared blankly at Gu Miru through the hood, and there were thousands of words in his heart, but in the end they condensed into two simple words.
But Si Xianchun did not dare to say these two words.
He just nodded, then picked up his chopsticks to eat.
In the evening, the two of them rested and opened two rooms. Si Xianchun and Gu Miru parted at the door and went back to their respective rooms.
Early the next morning, neither of them had anything to eat, so they hurried to the gate of Si's house.
They sat in the carriage and bought a few buns to eat. This was the first time Gu Miru saw the gate of the Si family.
It's still quite stylish. Although he is in business, this court looks like some princes and generals.
In places like Xunzhou City, it is used to distribute humiliated and unfavorable princes, and the emperor is far away.
Now the gate of the Si family is extraordinarily lively, surrounded by a large number of ordinary people, all of whom are waiting for the Si family to sprinkle wedding candy and happy money.
There were red silk and red lanterns hanging everywhere on the door, and even the ground was covered with red silk, which looked like a big battle. Even if the marriage was a concubine, the other party was still a prince.
The Si family is serious, and the superficial effort is done very well.
Si Xianchun sat in the carriage, looking down the car window towards the gate of the Si family's house. His expression was neither nostalgic nor resentful, but rather empty.
There used to be the person closest to him, his mother.
It's a pity that now his mother has left and only his sister is left.
Soon his sister will be married out of this gate, and this will no longer be his home.
Si Xianchun felt a little sad in his heart for a while, but when he was very young in his memory, this family also brought him very happy memories.
But those things are like dreams now, as if they never happened.
When the auspicious time arrived at the other party's sedan chair, Prince Ning was unable to marry him in person because of his inconvenience.
Therefore, the horse in front of the sedan chair is empty, but someone is leading it, and it is tied with bright red silk and red flowers.
The crackling of firecrackers sounded, and Si Xianchun's thoughts were suddenly broken. He subconsciously shrank his shoulders, and Gu Miru immediately grabbed his hand.
It had been a long time since the two of them held hands like this. Gu Miru knew that Si Xianchun was afraid of the sound of firecrackers, so she grabbed his hand immediately, and the other hand supported his back.
Si Xianchun's shrunken shoulders really quickly spread out, he didn't dare to turn his head to look at Gu Miru, but clenched Gu Miru's hand tightly.
Just a moment.
Even if Gu Miru didn't like Si Xianchun, she still wanted to hold her like this, just today.
He doesn't want to be alone today.
Soon the bride inside was surrounded, and there was a strong servant who carried the bride on the sedan chair.
Many people from the Si family came out to see their relatives. Si Xianchun didn't look over there, but kept looking at his sister.
His sister seemed to cry.
Those who sent their relatives were also crying, but they were all very fake. Gu Miru glanced at it and turned her eyes away with little interest.
Soon their carriage couldn't keep up with Si Jingrou's sedan chair, because the crowd blocked the road, and the whole street was crowded with people looting happy candy and happy money.
The scene was very lively, cheerful joy also played, and the newlyweds began to parade the streets.
Gu Miru and Si Xianchun walked directly into the main street from the alley next to them, and Si Jingrou's sedan chair had to walk three times from the busiest part of the main street.
Most of the porters who carried the dowry behind the sedan chair were hired by Si Jingrou with money, not from the city of Xunzhou.
Si Jingrou has been pretending to be a good daughter at home these days, surrounded by the eldest lady of the Si family and her sister-in-law. The mother-in-law helped with some things.
These things are the key to whether she can get a dowry from the Si family.
Crying is popular in this world, and the louder the cry of the married bride, the more auspiciousness.
Si Jingrou cried so loudly that even Gu Miru and Si Xianchun who were in the carriage could hear when they turned the main street in the first lap.
Very heartbreaking.
It doesn't sound like it's acting.
It's not really acting, but Si Jingrou has been crying fiercely for more than ten years, and the family treated her and her mother and brother harshly.
It was her ruthless father who was crying, who dismissed the prostitute as his daughter, replaced the birth date of his daughter, and pushed himself into the fire pit.
On the second lap of the parade, Si Jingrou's cry had become hoarse, and it sounded particularly miserable.
Gu Miru and Si Xianchun held hands tightly, both of them watched the parade through the carriage window, and neither of them said a word.
On the third lap, when they reached the very center of the main street, Si Jingrou suddenly shouted in a shrill voice: "Mother! I'm married! The Si family wants me to replace the eldest sister, I don't complain, but mother! They even dowry They won't give me-"
This long cry was shouted out, and it was accompanied by joy, and suddenly there was a sense of mourning.
Life on the main street was full of turmoil, and many people heard this cry of injustice and grievance, especially most of them knew that the mother of this married concubine died not long ago.
At noon, her mother shouted, it was a bit scary.
The scarier ones are yet to come.
The porters carrying the dowry in the back quickly got in when they passed a relatively secret alley.
Soon another group of people came out carrying the same box and silently integrated into the team.
Then when they were on the main street, the cries of several people in front fell. All of a sudden, they all looked like children who couldn't walk, their feet crooked, and they fell down on the street—
The big red boxes painted with gold were all overturned on the ground, and the people exclaimed incessantly. The inner three floors and the outer three floors were surrounded, and even the sedan chairs that greeted the relatives could not move.
As a result, what fell out of the box was not a dowry, but a box of black stones.
I don't know who in the crowd took the lead and said: "My God, this is not marrying a daughter, it's not like selling a pig!"
"I heard that this is a replacement marriage. The one who wants to get married is the direct daughter of the Si family. If it is a concubine, it will not even give a dowry!"
"The big business of the Si family can actually do such a thing!"
"It must be the woman in the back house who had a vicious heart and bullied her mother to death. In the end, didn't his mother manifest a spirit? Did you see it just now? A gust of wind blew over and the few people carrying the boxes fell to the ground at the same time. !"
"My God, this is so disgusting!"
"It's still Prince Ning who is married anyway, isn't this just humiliating Prince Ning?"
…
The crowd's discussion grew louder and louder, and the parade was forced to stop. The people in front pushed aside the crowd and wanted to scold these people for blocking the auspicious time. As a result, seeing the black stones all over the place, they were all speechless.
The matter was completely over, the marriage was halfway through, and the dowry turned out to be a pile of stones on the ground. This kind of thing is simply a great shame.
At this time, Si Jingrou's cries continued, and her voice was mixed among this group of people who were talking about it, and she seemed extraordinarily helpless.
I kept shouting mother, mother, and I didn't know whether it was acting or sincere after I shouted.
Si Xianchun couldn't sit still in the car, he knew his sister, she was really crying.
He wanted to get out of the car, but Gu Miru grabbed her hand tightly.
"My sister seldom cried like this since she was a child... She has suffered from convulsions. If she continues to cry like this, she will get convulsions and pass away!"
Si Xianchun is Si Jingrou's brother after all, I really can't listen.
Gu Miru couldn't hold him back, so she simply hugged him and said, "At this time, you must be steady, this matter has almost become a thing by now, and if you suddenly appear, it will cause a riot."
"You're waiting for me in the carriage, I'll take a look at the chaos."
Gu Miru said to let Zhang Qian watch Si Xianchun and not let him get off the bus. Now the crowd is so noisy, if Si Xianchun appears, it will definitely cause a commotion.
At that time, it will not be good to divert attention. We must make these people talk more and more hotly. The worse the scolding of the Si family, the better.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Gu Miru got to the side of the sedan chair and squeezed a happy mother-in-law away, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... There are too many people I didn't see."
He opened the curtain of the sedan chair and quickly got in.
Si Jingrou was crying so hard that she was really crying, and all the grievances of her life were vented today.
Si Xianchun said that if she continued to cry, there might be a problem. Now that the outside is so chaotic, Gu Miru didn't plan to persuade her.
After entering, he raised his hand into a knife and directly knocked Si Jingrou unconscious.
Then Gu Miru got out of the sedan chair, picked up two red silk flowers on the ground, pretending to be a dowry girl, and exaggeratedly shouted: "Sorry! It's too bad! The lady has passed out! I'll call the doctor!"
Then Gu Miru plunged into the crowd, circled a few times, and returned to the carriage.
After opening the car curtain, Si Xianchun hugged her directly. Gu Miru patted Si Xianchun on the back to comfort him and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, your sister was knocked unconscious by me."
It's good to pass out this way, so that you don't twitch.
"Don't worry. I saw that the carriage of Prince Ning's mansion was coming, and the people sent by the Si family were also coming. Your sister's matter has been completed, and it will only be a good day for you."
Gu Miru smiled, lowered her head and stroked Si Xianchun's hair, not knowing whether she was comforting Si Xianchun or herself.
She said these words over and over again, until Si Xianchun stopped shaking at all, and stopped breathing heavily. Outside, Si Jingrou passed out and was carried on Prince Ning's carriage.
This matter has finally come to an end.
The rest of the follow-up solution is for the people from Prince Ning's mansion to come forward and deal with the Si family.
For someone with such a temperament as Prince Ning to lose such a big face, the Si family will never have any good fruit to eat.
And no matter what Prince Ning asks for from the Si family, he absolutely disdains taking up a little girl's dowry.
It will be a good day indeed. As long as Si Jingrou is obedient and does not go to the plot.
Si Xianchun hugged Gu Miru's waist tightly in the carriage, buried his head in her arms, tears welling up in his eyes.
His sister is married, and although life will be a little more difficult in the future, he is getting better and better now.
As Gu Miru said, if he gets better, he can help his sister.
My sister's dowry can be asked for back this time, so I don't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life.
His relationship with Gu Miru was just as good.
He was like that that night, and he had offended Gu Miru in that way. She was still not angry, and she accompanied him to see his sister's marriage like this.
Comfort him, hold hands with him when the firecrackers go off, and help him knock his sister unconscious.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't like him, as long as Gu Miru is there.
As long as she's...everything will get better.
Si Xianchun put down the boulder in his heart completely.
Gu Miru patted Si Xianchun's back, and was slowly giving him the air, when the system in his mind suddenly broadcast a report: [Detected that the self-destruction value of the redemption object has dropped by 30%, and achieved a high-level redemption achievement, the current redemption object The self-destruction value is 10%! The main system is being handed over to determine the quality of redemption...]
[The quality of redemption is judged successfully, the advanced redemption level is a, the reward points this time are 4,000,000, and the current space accumulation is 4,500,000, please keep making persistent efforts! 】
