Every day after the marriage, I prepare a funeral for my husband

When Gu Qiao opened his eyes, he was still a little dazed, the sky outside the window had just brightened.

The baby woke up a long time ago, but still didn't cry or make noise, as if he was afraid of disturbing Gu Qiao's rest. Seeing him open his eyes, the little guy yelled twice, and grabbed the railing beside the bed tightly, as if calling for help .

"Aah~"

The next moment, those two fat legs trembled, and the baby fell back on the soft bed.

He opened his rosy mouth, as if he wanted to cry, but after realizing that the fall didn't hurt, he thought about it strangely for a while, and then began to pull Gu Qiao's clothes.

Gu Qiao was still a little confused, and subconsciously untied his belt, revealing half of his chest.

In the quiet room, the only sound was the sound of him patting the child. After a while, he suddenly widened his eyes and said joyfully, "Baby, can you stand up now?"

For both of them, life seems to be a mysterious exploration.

From the time when the first tooth came out, to now being able to stand on his own, every day when he opens his eyes, there may be new surprises waiting for Gu Qiao...

Today, after putting the baby at Mrs. Shen's house as usual, Gu Qiao went through the hustle and bustle of the city again, and walked into the flower building under the sunset.

Miss Yun is the number one brand in Yimenglou. Recently, she is very fond of Gu Qiao's craftsmanship. This has also made Gu Qiao's worth double, and she has become a well-known makeup artist on this street——

Gu Qiao has a very good skin and likes to laugh. Although the girls have seen a lot of men, who has seen a man who walked out of Jinling?

Those old men bought their bodies and their smiles with money, but they can't also spend money to buy Gu Qiao's time, and turn themselves into masters again?

"Little Gu!"

A small window on the second floor was opened, and Gu Qiao looked up, and saw a young sister-in-law wearing a water-red satin shirt with her fragrant shoulders exposed, she looked like a new sister-in-law who just ran out of the marriage bed.

"Did you come early today, after dressing up your Miss Yun, please, can I pick up some decorations for Sister?"

Another voice said: "Your ancestor, you want to grab the guests, you want to grab the makeup artist, and you want to grab everything!"

Someone seemed to be shoving the young kiln sister from behind. With her young body, no matter how she pushed and played, she occupied the entire window and laughed wildly: "Oh, there are people who eat vegetarian meals and sleep every day. Xiao Gu is a sweetheart!" Some people are very hungry for meat!"

"Yaqin, it's fine if you eat vegetarian food, it's hard to sleep when you're vegetarian~"

The girl opposite was also lying on the window. As soon as the words fell, the whole street burst into laughter.

Gu Qiao laughed along with him: "Then, in order to prevent Yaqin from sleeping all day, sisters and sisters should take care of a few more jobs. When I save up a small box one day, I can sleep with Yaqin."

The girls almost burst out laughing, in their world, men and women are always like this, they kiss each other faster after fighting.

Sister Yao answered immediately: "Then are you coming over soon? Look at your Yaqin, and push my mother downstairs!"

"Push your mother!" Yaqin scolded from behind.

Gu Qiao smiled and walked towards Yimenglou, with deep facial features, waving his hands naturally and frankly: "I can't do it today, there is still work for Miss Yun."

……

Compared with the girls outside, the head card is much more stable and elegant. You can probably think of her as the concubine or young mistress of a wealthy family.

When Gu Qiao was packing up the makeup box, she held that delicate face flat, and while wearing jewelry, she chatted, "I've never seen such makeup and hair in Fuyungang, and I haven't asked where you got it from your hometown?"

Gu Qiao gave a random place name.

Miss Yun nodded after listening, "I also think you are a foreigner. By the way, Sister Hua asked me to ask you, do you want to work in Yimenglou for a long time in the future?"

Gu Qiao was startled for a moment, then burst out laughing, and immediately realized: Miss Yun is naturally not afraid of competition, but other girls are not as pretty. Lou alive?

It would be nice to be able to stabilize, Gu Qiao immediately agreed.

Time flies so fast, half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

For more than half a year, although Gu Qiao seldom inquired about the situation outside, he occasionally heard some news from the old gentleman in the school.

For example, the fifth prince Dianxu and the sixth prince Dianchen returned from the north and brought back more than 50 elite cavalry from northern Xinjiang, opened up a vast border territory, and quelled the border rebellion.

The two of them sang together with the third prince and supported each other, and the three of them could almost stand against each other in the Great Yan Dynasty Hall.

But the life of the other princes was not so easy, and they all joined forces to suppress them - no one knew what the emperor was thinking, anyway, he kept silent and just let the children fight each other.

The situation is unpredictable and full of twists and turns.

However, all of this is far away from Gu Qiao, and his life suddenly became simpler. He no longer wants to get involved in many things, and he just wants to save money and raise his baby in that small attic. .

This is his only little wish.

But sometimes, he can't even do this little thing well.

It was a sunny day, it was the first time Gu Qiao made steamed eggs for the baby, and he was a little flustered.When I was standing by the pot for fear of getting old, I suddenly heard a loud "boom" from behind, followed by the heart-piercing cry of the baby!

"Woooo-"

Gu Qiao suddenly became flustered, turned around suddenly, and saw the baby fell off the bed, with a bloody gash on his forehead!

"Xing'er! Don't cry, don't cry, show Dad!"

Gu Qiao told the baby not to cry, but he cried himself, tears falling down in panic, picked up the baby and ran to the hospital.

……

When I returned to the attic in the evening, the pot had already boiled dry.

Fortunately, Gu Qiao didn't put much firewood, and it extinguished itself after burning, and no fire was caused, but the smell of burning was everywhere in the attic, which was very unpleasant, and the wind he had opened the window for a long time could not dissipate .

At night, the baby wrapped a piece of gauze on his forehead and fell asleep in his arms, sobbing.

The gentle spring sea breeze blows over, and Gu Qiao's hair at the sideburns is thin and soft, being rolled up and floating, his eyes are still black and bright, but they are inevitably a little red and swollen.

He patted the baby's small body lightly, and suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped himself hard!

What on earth do you think of children! ?

But then the baby woke up suddenly.

His body was so small and so soft, he raised his fat hand to touch Gu Qiao's cheek, and said anxiously, "No...it doesn't hurt..."

Gu Qiao's eyes became hot, and he almost shed tears. He hugged the baby tightly in his arms, pressed his cheek against the little cheek, and kissed again and again.

……

Perhaps misfortunes never come singly, and within a few days, Gu Qiao's attic was attacked by thieves.

The house was in a mess, and all the clothes were turned over on the floor. After a moment of daze, his first reaction was to dig through the boxes in the drawer.

Sure enough, it was pried open.

All the letters inside were poured out, and a note was placed on the top: You are too fucking poor. Others put money in the box, but your box is for letters. You are so poor!

Although the baby couldn't read it, he tore up the note angrily: "Wow~"

Gu Qiao was stunned, then chuckled, and looked up at the beam——

Fortunately, the cash box in the corner was not found.

In fact, nothing was lost, but at the moment when Gu Qiao found out that the box had been touched, his heart was still cold. Those letters were all written by him to Bao Bao and Lu Yao. In case he meets a bad-tempered thief next time, give him What if it is burned or lost?

Thinking of this, Gu Qiao took out the cash box and counted, and finally decided to move into the inner city and change to a safer living environment.

He spent some time looking for a house, and finally he fell in love with a single two-story courtyard: the area is small, but the layout is very regular, and the most important thing is that there is a cherry blossom tree in the courtyard...

Gu Qiao decided to rent the house, but unexpectedly the owner only sells it and does not rent it.

The sisters in the kiln earn more, so Gu Qiao naturally earns more, but when it comes to buying a house, he is still short of money, so he sighs and prepares to leave.

But at this moment, I saw the baby happily stretching out his little hand towards the cherry blossom tree...

After that day, Gu Qiao began to earn money like Saburo desperately.

When other makeup artists do one makeup, he can quickly do two or three. Even after chatting with Sister Hua of Yimenglou, he even hired a teacher to teach the new girls how to play the guqin. work.

Within a few days, he even worked as a tea orderer in a tea house again.

But such a desperate effort makes the baby see him less and less every day.

Often when he came back in the middle of the night, he could only bring the sleeping baby back from Mrs. Shen—the baby always had tears on his face, probably crying because he missed him.

Gu Qiao sighed, but he could only send more fruit baskets and vegetables to Mrs. Shen's house from time to time, thanking her for her help and care.

It was not only Aunt Shen who saw Gu Qiao working so hard, but also Sister Hua from Yimenglou. Finally, one day, she called him into the private room and said, "Xiao Gu, are you short of money?"

Gu Qiao had nothing to hide, so he nodded.

Sister Hua took a jade cigarette stick, took a puff, and then exhaled lightly to fill the room with misty smoke: "I see that you are not only good at makeup and hair, but also know the rhythm of Guqin, tea ceremony and flower arrangement. What did you do before?" of?"

Gu Qiao thought for a while: "I used to be considered half a son-in-law, and I often played around outside, but later my family fell into poverty, so I can only make ends meet."

Sister Hua leaned forward with great interest: "I see."

She uttered some other words later, but Gu Qiao always felt that some words were not expressive.

Seeing that she was talking about Miss Yun, she saw that Sister Hua knocked the cigarette stick on the table suddenly, and cut straight to the point: "To tell you the truth, besides the kiln business, I actually do other things. Some old men, right?" , They just look down on women, they just like to touch men's bodies... Tsk, you have seen the world, so you probably know what I mean, right?"

Gu Qiao: "..."

Sister Hua hurriedly hit the iron while it was hot: "Don't say it, you are very popular like you, Mr. Chen who came to my place for dinner last time, remember? After he met you, he followed me back and forth. It has been mentioned several times. You look like this, at least you are at the level of Miss Yun, as long as you nod, you won't earn a month's salary as a makeup artist in one night?"

Gu Qiao was shocked: "..."

But it was shocking. Why do these words sound so familiar?

After recalling the scene where he wrapped the bandages for Dianchen, Gu Qiao suddenly found that his mouth seemed to have been opened—err, of course it was opened in the opposite direction.

He casually paid homage to Guanyinniang, but in the end he really returned to Qingyuan, but it was very painful;

The New Year's wish that was made casually, in the end, it really got rid of Dian Chen, but it was also very painful;

Casually said teasing words, the result, hey!

Finally it was his turn to sell himself, but it was not Dianchen, but himself...

After a long time, Gu Qiao smiled with some emotion, got up and said, "Sister Hua, forget it."

If he wanted to live a good life, he could have stolen it long ago, but he didn't want to give the baby a bad image, and Guanyin Niang was watching him. He and the baby's happy life had to be earned by himself. instead of going the wrong way—

He is not afraid of hard work.

Emperor Tian paid off, and when the baby was able to walk steadily, Gu Qiao finally saved enough money for the rest.

In fact, it was a little bit worse, but if he didn't buy it again, the yard would be sold to someone else, so he had to borrow some from the people around him to barely make up enough.

The moment he went to the yamen to complete the seal, Gu Qiao jumped up excitedly!

From today, he and the baby finally have their own home!

When it rains, they no longer need to take a small basin to catch the rainwater falling from the attic!

yeah! ! !

Along with the wind at night, the singing echoes quietly in the courtyard full of cherry blossom fragrance.

Gu Qiao stretched out his hand, and closed the door very carefully, his fingertips trembling with nervousness, little by little, he locked the lock, and put the key into his bosom...

whee.

Gu Qiao smiled happily, like a big boy who doesn't know much about the world, and unexpectedly became naughty a few times after a long absence, yes, people are always willful...

"Mr. Gu!"

However, when Gu Qiao returned late at night, before he had time to tell Aunt Shen that he would be moving out in a few days, she saw Aunt Shen rushing over with the baby in her arms, and said anxiously, "Mr. Gu, Xing'er is sick! "

Gu Qiao's joy came to an abrupt end.

The baby's body has always been very good, it is already one and a half years old, and Gu Qiao has never bothered him much, but at this moment, his little forehead is sweating, his face has turned a strange flush, and he can hardly breathe. ...

On the long street in the middle of the night, Gu Qiao's choked up voice kept ringing in panic: "Doctor, are you there? My baby is sick, is anyone here?"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Open the door, my baby is sick—"

The yawn of the drug boy came from behind the door panel: "Our doctor is out for a visit, come back tomorrow!"

Not long after, on another street, Gu Qiao hugged the unconscious baby with one hand, and slammed on the door desperately with the other: "Help, open the door, save my baby!"

"Is anyone there? My baby is almost out of breath, really! Please open the door!"

"Doctor, is there a doctor here?"

"Baby wake up, please wake up! Doctor! Open the door!"

"Open the door——"

……

"The child is burned like this, why did you send it here?"

In the warm light of the candle, an old doctor turned around and scolded Gu Qiao severely.

Gu Qiao's lips trembled, and his words also trembled: "I, I'm very busy during the day...so, I didn't look at him carefully, I..."

The old doctor glared at him, walked away, and went to get the silver needle.

As soon as the doctor left, Gu Qiao burst into tears.

He hurriedly raised his hand to wipe it off, and knelt beside the crib, holding the baby's soft little hand, feeling a piercing pain in his heart.

He is a fool.

He is a big fool. He clearly knows that Mrs. Shen has so many grandchildren, no matter how much she loves the baby, she can't take care of her, but he still sends the baby there every day...

Baby, I'm sorry...

sorry……

But when the consultation fee came out, Gu Qiao was stunned for a moment: He just bought a house with all his savings, and even borrowed it from the people around him. At this moment, the family only has a little money to buy rice. How can he pay such a fee? Expensive consultation fees?

And, even... Even if he wants to sell the house, he can't guarantee that it will be sold tomorrow, can he?

But then again, why is it so expensive?

The old doctor glanced at him: "Does your family have genetics? This child is not an ordinary wind-cold, but a weakened body caused by the wind-cold. He will definitely need acupuncture frequently in the future. If you don't have money, don't bother." It's happened twice this time, the child will not live well..."

What does it mean?

Gu Qiao was short of breath and was stunned for a long time, speechless.

……

Gu Qiao's mouth was indeed opened in reverse.

But two days later, a faint puff of tobacco hit his face.Sister Hua's mouth is very thin, with a bitter and talkative mouth, she can smile like a warm sun: "Are you in trouble?"

Gu Qiao nodded silently.

In Yimenglou, there are bought girls, and there are also girls who can't survive and sell themselves voluntarily, but no matter what kind of girl they are, they can be trained to be submissive by Sister Hua—to be honest, Gu Qiao doesn't know how she will be. How to train yourself.

But Sister Hua obviously didn't have this plan, she just touched the cards and said: "Okay, I just have a job tonight, a wealthy businessman from other places, I know you are capable, so just go directly."

immigrant?

Gu Qiao tore off his face and asked, "Isn't that Mr. Chen?"

At this time, the girl on the opposite side played a good card and shouted happily.

"If you don't seize the great opportunity, do you think people are waiting for you?"

Sister Hua smiled absent-mindedly along with the girl, then turned her head and said to Gu Qiao, "But that rich businessman is not bad, he seems to have something to do with the Yamen, you can take good care of him, and he can't treat you badly."

"But this is just a one-time business, right? What about after that?"

After asking Gu Qiao, he felt his face burn.

He had never been so ashamed in his life, and it would take about ten Gu Qiaos to share this kind of shame for him.

"I just said that you are clever, and your hard work should be used on the right path...Huh? Wait!" Sister Hua said, pushing down a deck of cards, and she was fooled.

Take a bath, change clothes, get on the sedan chair, and then step into a pool of deep water.

This seemed to be his future fate.

but……

This is at least better than being a thief and a bandit. What if he is caught by the government one day, what will happen to the baby?

When he walked outside, Gu Qiao's tumbling heart calmed down, but after taking a deep breath, listening to the chatter and laughter coming from inside, he opened the curtain——

Then, he met a pair of slender and deep eyes.

"..."
