days of being forced

Zhao Xiulan had known her son's habits for a long time. Before eating, she specially put two bowls aside, and after the meal, she washed the pots and bowls, boiled some hot water, and put the packed rice in it to warm.

After calling Jiang Ning, Gu Xingzhi went into the kitchen and brought out the meal that Zhao Xiulan had left for them.

Now that the weather is cold, there is a fire in one of the Gu family's rooms, and they usually eat here instead. When Gu Xingzhi put the meal on the table, he saw both the fifth prince and Gu Ming were there.

One was sitting by the fire, and the other was reciting in a low voice with a book.

Seeing Gu Xingzhi coming in, the Fifth Prince glanced at him, and remained silent. People who wake up before dawn don't understand this kind of people who sleep so late and get up late, but after a few days, he got used to it.

Soon, Jiang Ning also came in, and he greeted the fifth prince: "Good morning, fifth prince."

"En." The Fifth Prince nodded slightly.

Jiang Ning didn't say much, and went directly to Gu Xingzhi and sat down to eat.

The fifth prince looked at them for a while, thought for a long time, and decided to bring up the topic. He has lived here for more than half a month, but he is not very talkative, and he can't stand no one talking to him, "here Is it the home of your biological parents?"

He was talking nonsense, and Jiang Ning was obsessed with picking up the piece of sweet potato in Gu Xingzhi's bowl. They ate sweet potato porridge in the morning.It was only after Gu Xingzhi reminded him that he realized that the Fifth Prince was talking to him.

"Huh?" He looked blank.

After the fifth prince asked, his heart skipped a beat. Speaking of his biological parents or something seemed a bit of a wound. Not everyone would accept that he was a high-ranking little son of the Hou family and turned into an ordinary person.Seeing the sadness and confusion on Jiang Ning's face, he hurriedly made amends and said: "Although you are not as rich and honored as living in the Hou's mansion in the farm now, I have seen that your brother treats you very well these few days, and he is good. Life will definitely get better and better. Compared with many aspects of the Hou Mansion where people can't help themselves, here is also much more free."

He observed it for a few days, and the relationship between Jiang Ning and Gu Xingzhi was really good.Although their mother, Zhao Xiulan, did not treat Jiang Ning as well as her own son, she did not treat him badly, and the rest of the family had to work, only Gu Xingzhi and him did not, which shows that at least Gu Xingzhi can provide high value on these.

However, thinking of Jiang Ning's little overlord mode in the Hou Mansion before, it seems that his last sentence of freedom is quite boring.

The other party lives freely wherever they are.

Jiang Ning heard what he said clearly, and laughed out of joy. She grabbed Gu Xingzhi's arm beside her with both hands and hung it up. She also laughed and fell on Gu Xingzhi's body. Gu Xingzhi let him lean on firmly.

The Fifth Prince was baffled, he was right, but seeing that Gu Xingzhi, who had been silent all this time, couldn't stop his lips from curling up, he felt that he must be making some joke.

He looked at the child next to him, and Gu Ming's eyes were full of bright smiles. When the fifth prince looked over, he restrained himself a little.

Unexpectedly, this noble master looks cold, but he can comfort others.

After laughing, Jiang Ning took a slow breath, looked at the fifth prince and said, "He is not my brother, he is my husband."

"!"

The fifth prince was startled, he didn't expect Jiang Ning to be married.

"You, why do you...?" Why did you get married so quickly, and she was from an ordinary peasant family.

This is unbelievable. As long as the other party is willing, he believes that many young men in the capital will marry him, even himself. If Jiang Ning really proposes, it will be difficult for him to say whether he can reject such a beautiful beauty.

"My fiancé is him."

Seeing the sweet affection in Jiang Ning's eyes looking at Gu Xingzhi, the Fifth Prince was silent.

After this encounter, the sense of distance between the three of them has decreased a lot.

After eating, Jiang Ning took the initiative to tidy up the dishes and wash them diligently, because with Zhao Xiulan around, he was not very good at acting like a baby and asking Gu Xingzhi to help with too many things in Gu's house.

Gu Xingzhi moved his stool to sit by the fire, and suddenly he glanced at Gu Ming and asked, "I don't seem to have seen Gu Wen these days, where did he go?"

Gu Ming felt disappointed, "He went to study in a private school in the town."

And the family didn't seem to be planning to send him there, so he finally mustered up the courage to bring it up to his parents, only to be scolded back by his mother angrily.

He is indeed not as smart as Gu Wen.

"En." Gu Xingzhi asked again: "I remember, he seems to be a few months younger than you?"

"Two months younger." Gu Ming said.

It seems that the Gu family only wanted to send Gu Wen alone, which was also reasonable, after all, on the surface, Gu Wen had a good memory and comprehension ability, so there was hope.Although the Gu family has a little more money now, it is still difficult to provide for the two children. After all, there is still a big money-using Gu Hua in the family who is studying.

The child couldn't hide his emotions well, and Gu Ming's disappointment was clearly shown on his face.Gu Xingzhi laughed and said, "You should read the books carefully during this time, and then I will tell them to send you to the town to study."

Gu Ming's eyes lit up for a moment, but soon dimmed again: "But I'm too old, grandma won't allow me to go, and there is no money at home."

"Don't worry, I still have the money to send you to study, but..." Gu Xingzhi said: "My money does not support idlers. If you want to study, you have to work hard. You can't just follow you if you see the flowers and plants in the town. Come back to cheat money like a big brother, I am not as easy to fool as your grandma."

He didn't think that Gu Ming would be like this, but to teach children, one should explain clearly the bad things first, and take precautions before they happen.

Gu Ming moved his eyes and nodded vigorously, he was so excited that he couldn't speak. He originally thought that he had no chance to study.

Gu Xingzhi acted quickly, and told Mrs. Gu about this matter when the whole family had lunch together that day, and handed over some money again.For the sake of extra money, Gu Li agreed.

With the Fifth Prince around, Gu Liqin didn't dare to entangle Gu Xingzhi with his private money, and Gu Lishi could only accept it.After all, Gu Xingzhi said that this was a reward for catching criminals sometimes. As for when they were caught, it was impossible for her to monitor them every day, because Gu Xingzhi did whatever he said.

A few more days passed, the fifth prince's injuries were almost healed, and the hidden guards also came to report that the [-] elite soldiers led by the two lieutenants were about to arrive in Jiaoyang City.In other words, it's time for the Fifth Prince to go back and show his face.

And at this time, the rebels from the previous dynasty finally found them.

That night, Gu Xingzhi woke up from his sleep, listening to the cracking sound of the roof tiles above, thinking that his mother seemed to be still muttering during the day that there might be rain in these two days?

He gently pushed Jiang Ning, "Ning Ning, wake up."

"Hmm~ what's the matter?" Jiang Ning buried her head deeper, and rubbed against Gu Xingzhi like a kitten.

Gu Xingzhi stroked his soft black hair, and whispered in his ear: "Someone is coming outside, listen to the sound on the roof."

Jiang Ning's eyes widened in an instant, and the sound from the roof was indeed quite loud. At this moment, he and Gu Xingzhi's thoughts were synchronized, and he said heartbroken: "What if it rains later?" I heard what Zhao Xiulan said, when the village is not looking like it is going to rain, someone will always say a few words of reminder.

And hearing this sound, the tiles facing their bed should have been trampled to pieces.

As for fear, Jiang Ning felt extremely safe with her husband around.

"It's okay, let them fix the roof later before leaving." Because Gu Lishi is planning to build a new house at home, things like tiles are already slowly being rolled into the house.

Soon, the golden sound of swords clashing sounded outside, Gu Xingzhi got up and put on his clothes, "I have set up a barrier in the room, people from outside can't get in, you lie on the bed and wait for me to come back, I'll go take a look How is the fifth prince?"

"Won't this enchantment be broken?" Jiang Ning asked worriedly while sitting on the bed, looking around all the time, and even touched it with her hand, but she couldn't find it.

The enchantment encompasses the entire room.

Gu Xingzhi smiled, and touched his little face comfortingly: "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong. If you are in danger, I will sense it in my heart. Don't be afraid." After finishing speaking, he bowed his head and kissed Jiang rather.

This is not a good time to chat, Jiang Ning nodded obediently: "Okay, you go, pay attention to take care of your parents."

"En." Gu Xingzhi went out with his sword in hand.He cast a curse on the members of the Gu family. As long as they don't deliberately look for a sense of presence, even if these men in black see their figures, they won't think about killing them.

Originally, the target of these people was not the people who took care of the family, so the effect of this spell would be even better.
