Chapter 127 Husband? Home.
"Really? Then I really have to try it. I've never had it before." Gu Xixi was very supportive and took a piece to try. The taste was just grassy and cornbread. It wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either.
Seeing Shen Qingyan come down, she took a piece and handed it to him, "Would you like to try some?"
Shen Qingyan took the cake, then took out her own handkerchief and handed it to Gu Xixi to wipe her hands. Her gaze swept over the two of them briefly before she asked sincerely, "Sister Gu, is this handsome older brother your husband?"
"Cough cough cough..." Gu Xixi almost choked to death on the pancake she was swallowing. She found it both funny and terrifying, and quickly grabbed a bottle of mineral water to gulp it down.
Once she calmed down, Shen Qingyan's worried expression also disappeared. "Cao Cao, don't talk nonsense. You'll ruin your sister Gu's reputation."
"Oh, isn't that right? But everyone's guessing that. So who is the big brother?" Cao Cao scratched her head innocently. Her mother had said that when a woman and a man live under the same roof, they are husband and wife.
Most importantly, if he were an older brother or younger brother, why has Sister Gu never called him that?
Her question stumped Gu Xixi as well. Gu Xixi looked at Shen Qingyan, who then answered, "Yes, they are relatives, distant relatives. They will be staying for a few days and then leaving."
Cao Cao nodded as if he understood, then patted his chest and said, "That's good. Although you are very handsome, I think a fairy like Sister Gu is the best match for Lord Shen Qingyan."
Gu Xixi almost spat out another mouthful of blood.
Shen Qingyan smiled warmly, radiating an unprecedented gentleness. "Oh? Why does Cao Cao think Lord Shen and your Sister Gu are a perfect match? What if Lord Shen is ugly and a cripple? Would they still be a good match?"
After a brief and careful consideration, he solemnly replied, "Because they are all the best people in the world, and everyone knows that Lord Shen is a top scholar in both civil and military affairs, handsome and imposing, he can't be ugly."
Cao Cao felt that Shen Qingyan was deliberately picking a fight, so she silently took two steps back to distance herself from him. "Sister Gu has met Lord Shen. If he were ugly, Sister Gu would have said so herself just now. Sister Gu did not object."
Gu Xixi: ? ? ? !
No, she was just watching a play, how did it turn into her wanting to be a couple with Shen Qingyan?
However, Shen Qingyan just smiled at her, and she couldn't make up lies... Helpless, truly helpless, Gu Xixi pressed down on Cao Cao's shoulder, "Cao Cao, if you become an official in the future, you'll be something else."
"What's so great about it?" Cao Cao chuckled foolishly when he heard that he was going to be an official, and kept looking back as he walked out.
“There are so many wrongful convictions,” Gu Xixi added, and Cao Cao immediately burst into tears. She would never be a bad official.
"Stop! Once you've earned some money, use it to go to school, understand? The more you study, the more capable you'll become like Lord Shen, and there won't be any more wrongful convictions. Go and earn some money!"
Gu Xixi stuffed a lollipop into her mouth and chased her out.
Turning her head, Shen Qingyan's gaze was fiery, and Gu Xixi's face flushed. She stuffed another lollipop into his mouth, but his eyes showed even more doting affection.
Gu Xixi burned her fingers holding the lollipop stick and quickly pulled them back. "You get out of here too. Are you smiling now that lunch is ready?"
Shen Qingyan suppressed her smile and bowed, "I will follow your instructions immediately."
Gu Xixi: ...
After two busy hours in the afternoon, Gu Xixi hurriedly went up the mountain with the villagers to collect herbs. The bandits returned for the second time to report and leave. Only then did Gu Xixi see Chen Yanxu riding back on horseback.
After sending the bandits off to distribute leaflets in the new counties, it was time to leave work. After waiting for Chen Yanxu to enter the house, she closed the door and went upstairs together.
The two sat down in the living room, where Shen Qingyan was scooping dumplings from a pot into a bowl in the kitchen.
Gu Xixi went over and brought out her and Chen Yanxu's food, placing it on the dining table. "Teacher, shall we go over and talk?"
Chen Yanxu stood up and couldn't stop talking, "During my trip, I heard a lot of news, all praising this Prince Zhen. It seems that the world will soon be in his hands."
"And your fellow disciples, they are all working under the King of the Town. According to them, the King of the Town's attitude towards you and me is exactly as stated in the notice."
Then Shen Qingyan and Chen Yanxu are safe.
Was her hidden mission really that easy to complete? Gu Xixi felt that this wasn't the usual way things were done in games, but it did fit the system's usual pattern... not making things difficult for her.
"What do you mean, teacher?" Shen Qingyan sat down. He had already washed up and changed back into his own clothes.
"What I mean is that when Miss Gu leaves tomorrow, I will also leave to personally investigate the situation at the King of Zhen's place... You stay here and await good news. If bad news comes, our master and disciple will not be completely wiped out."
Chen Yanxu already had a plan in mind.
"You don't need to say anything more, just listen to my arrangements. Let's eat." Chen Yanxu hurriedly ended the conversation, afraid that Shen Qingyan would object.
Shen Qingyan is injured, so Chen Yanxu would naturally be the best choice, but safety... Gu Xixi thought for a moment, put down the dumplings, and asked, "How many of the pistols and bullets I gave you last time are left?"
“We used them all up during our last escape,” Shen Qingyan replied. “Now we only have one grenade left.”
"Okay, you see that supply delivery machine on the second floor? Wait for me there after I leave tomorrow, and I'll bring you some more for the teacher to use for self-defense."
"In addition, I will give each of you a stab-proof vest. The vest will be impervious to knife cuts or stabs, which will make you even safer."
"I can't believe such a thing exists in the world. I can only thank you again for your great kindness, young lady." Chen Yanxu was deeply moved and believed Gu Xixi's words without a doubt.
"No need. What you did is something I, as a woman, should also thank you for. Since we share the same goal, we are like-minded people, so there is no need for thanks."
Gu Xixi picked up her bowl and continued eating. She was unconcerned with formalities, and Chen Yanxu and Shen Qingyan could only smile helplessly.
The next day.
Gu Xixi settled Cao Cao's headcount and hourly fees for yesterday, made an appointment with her to come back in three days, and then sent her home.
Before lunchtime, Gu Xixi saw off the last group of customers who were delivering herbs, then closed the shop and went upstairs.
Shen Qingyan and Chen Yanxu were already waiting on the second floor, looking reluctant to part.
