After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 134 Fruit Saplings

"I told you before, it's not too late for me to tell you now, it's getting late, go back early after dinner, otherwise it will be too late to catch up with the curfew, it's a bad luck."

After Gu Jingcheng finished speaking, he even pulled Zhou Lin and sent him out if he wanted to.

Su Xiaomu was dumbfounded by the appearance of the two of them, but he didn't stop Gu Jingcheng from killing the donkey.

The attitude of the couple crossing the river and demolishing the bridge made Zhou Lin's teeth itch with hatred, but he had nothing to do with them, so he could only be sent out by Gu Jingcheng.

Zhou Lin left, Gu Jingcheng sat back in his original seat and continued eating.

At the moment, he is completely neither salty nor dull, without the slightest "violence" that drove people away just now.

"Unloading mills and killing donkeys, crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, I never knew that Mr. Gu has such abilities, and he doesn't blush without heartbeat. It seems that the person you chased...isn't your friend."

Su Xiaomu watched him eat with a smile on his chin: "After Zhou Lin returns, I'm afraid he will scold you for a long time."

"It's rare to be able to eat the food you cook, such a rare opportunity."

Gu Jingcheng ate and ate very seriously, he didn't raise his head and didn't look at Su Xiaomu: "There is something I haven't told you yet, about the water truck... I wrote an article and handed it to Master when I went back. It explained the problem of waterwheel manufacturing in detail, and the master praised you generously and said many words of praise."

Gu Jingcheng put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief, and continued: "The master said that the article is very well written, and your ideas are also good, but it is not suitable for us Let the people hear their names."

"You mean..." Su Xiaomu seemed to understand what he meant, "Master's idea is to let us introduce the method of making waterwheels to the people anonymously?"

This is not impossible, originally Su Xiaomu's idea of ​​building this water wheel was just to improve the water use in the farm.

She thought that she was not as noble as Gu Jingcheng, and that she could think about the livelihood of the people in the whole country from a trivial matter.

So without thinking too much, she agreed with the Master's decision: "It's good to be anonymous, it will save a lot of unnecessary trouble."

"This is exactly what the master intends. The master submits the article anonymously to the government, and then the government registers the article and passes it on to the public. Although we can't benefit from the public opinion, we can make good friends with the government. This will help you a lot in your future business.”

Hasn't Gu Jingcheng seriously considered the possibility of this matter?
He is already Jie Yuan. Although he has recently become famous in Fucheng and is admired by many scholars, he is from a humble background and cannot help Su Xiaomu in many things. Occasionally he has to succumb to power, and he is not even enough to protect himself.

Gu Jingcheng knew very well that before they had enough status, it would not be a good thing for both of them to have too high a reputation.

In a place where two people without any background have a higher reputation among the people than the government and the great Confucian family, it will only bring them disaster.

And Su Xiaomu, how could he not understand this truth?

She knew that the choice Gu Jingcheng made was the most beneficial choice for them at this stage, so she just let him take care of it.

"I believe in you, you can do whatever you want."

It's just a waterwheel, anyway, she still has a lot of whimsical ideas in her head, if she wants to use these things to claim credit, she can only say that she has a lot.

Ending a topic, Su Xiaomu saw that the meal was almost finished, she poured a glass of wine for Gu Jingcheng, thinking of Miss Zhao Er that Luo Yi mentioned to her when she was soaking in the hot spring, she suddenly wanted to gossip.

"Miss Zhao Er from the east of the city..."

Su Xiaomu looked at him with malicious eyes: "I heard that people showed love to you in public and said that even if you have a family, they must be with you. I also heard that Miss Zhao Er is a beauty. I fell in love with you, and you are not moved at all?"

Second Miss Zhao, Miss Zhao...

Could it be that Gu Jingcheng has a close relationship with the girl surnamed Zhao?
"How could I be tempted by her? The second girl Zhao is not the person I like. Although I have met her several times, I still don't remember what she looks like so far. Xiaomu, don't worry about what people outside say. If so, as far as I am concerned, I only have you in my heart, and I will definitely not like anyone else!"

Gu Jingcheng really didn't expect that she would suddenly turn the topic to Miss Zhao Er, so he hurriedly explained everything clearly.

"I've already told my master, if it doesn't matter, let him take Zhou Lin to participate in the future poetry meetings. I just concentrate on studying alone, and I don't think much about other people and things except you."

"Push!"

Seeing his eagerness to explain, Su Xiaomu couldn't help laughing out loud.

A bright smile like a flower bloomed on her face at this moment, and the smile quickly spread across her cheeks. Gu Jingcheng was attracted by her smile. Slightly raised, the looming dimples at the corners of the lips are as sweet as if filled with honey.

Su Xiaomu didn't notice that Gu Jingcheng's eyes were fixed on her face all the time. She drank glass after glass of wine and looked at him more and more blurredly.

"I don't believe it...it's all about men's mouths, you liar, you must be talking to me now to say these sweet words."

"Gu Jingcheng! Let me tell you, I'm not a fool, I understand you!"

The fruit wine was delicious, the best she had ever had in this day and age.

And don't tell me... I'm still a little dizzy after drinking it.

She couldn't help hiccupping after she finished speaking, Gu Jingcheng saw her dizzy look, and originally wanted to defend his reputation at first.

But seeing that she was getting more and more unconscious, he reluctantly took the wine glass from her hand, then carried her into the room and put her on the bed.

Su Xiaomu was probably really drunk. She squinted her eyes drowsily and hugged Gu Jingcheng's neck, hugged him and leaned her head against his neck, and blew on his neck: "Gu Jingcheng...my head is so dizzy. ah……"

"Go to sleep, and you won't be dizzy when you wake up."

He resisted the moment when his body became stiff, put her gently on the bed, and then kissed her on the forehead, his voice was so gentle that it could soak in water: "have a good rest."

"Don't worry, I only have you in my heart. After I have you, I can't tolerate others in my eyes."

When Gu Jingcheng said this, he whispered it in Su Xiaomu's ear.

As for Su Xiaomu, he was already drunk and lost consciousness at all.

She muttered and hugged her pillow, and fell into a deep sleep.
