Chapter 147 Snow

The next morning, when Gu Qinghuan woke up, he heard the sound of Yinzhen getting up outside the curtain.

Even if he was too sleepy, Gu Qinghuan sat up, and called softly through the curtain: "Fourth elder brother?"

"Huh?" After Yinzhen agreed, he asked, "Is it disturbing you?"

"No." Gu Qinghuan quietly opened the curtain a little bit, revealing a small gap, and secretly glanced at Yinzhen outside.

He was putting on his clothes, and his movements were quite agile, as if the one who was injured yesterday was not him at all.

"Are you going to see the county magistrate Chen?" Gu Qinghuan hesitated, "Your injury..."

"It's okay."

Yinzhen said: "I had a good rest last night, but I woke up a bit late in the morning. It's getting late now, I'm afraid it's too late to take the medicine, so I have to go out."

"... "

Gu Qinghuan had an idea, and said, "I think Si elder brother should go later."

"why?"

"Think about it, although that Chen Sheng is not as timid as he looks, but after this incident, he must be careful with you. You came late, just to grind him."

Gu Qinghuan said: "So, it's time to change the medicine first."

Yinzhen seemed to be unable to think of a rebuttal.In the past, he was used to being diligent, and he never thought of being so lazy. In fact, there are many benefits.

"Well, you're the smartest." Yinzhen smiled, sat down on a stool beside him, closed his eyes and said, "But I'm already dressed."

"It's inconvenient to move, and I'm sorry to trouble you."

"... "

Seeing Yinzhen's "thick-skinned" appearance, Gu Qinghuan really didn't know what to say.He had no choice but to obediently go forward and help Yinzhen take the medicine.

Su Peisheng carried the hot water, and this time he behaved well, knowing to knock on the door.

"Si elder brother, have you ever woken up? The servant brought hot water for washing." After Su Peisheng asked, he knocked on the door lightly.

When Gu Qinghuan heard the sound at the door, she came over to help open the door.

As soon as Su Peisheng entered the room... all he saw was Yinzhen who was half dressed, sitting there looking at Su Peisheng with a half-smile.

"Alas!" Su Peisheng was startled here, feeling the cold wind pouring into the room, hurriedly stepped forward to Yinzhen's side, and said, "Si elder brother is not dressed yet."

As he said that, he wanted to continue helping Yinzhen get dressed.

Yinzhen glanced at Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng's body trembled all of a sudden, he was startled, and his hands and feet paused.

"Let me do it." Gu Qinghuan looked at Su Peisheng who was stunned in place, because he only saw a figure from the back and didn't understand what was going on, so he went back to help Yinzhen get dressed.

Su Peisheng watched, then stood aside awkwardly.

He felt...he came here at the wrong time!

After everything was tidied up, it was already a long time.But the day was still gloomy, dark clouds shrouded the sky, and snowflakes kept drifting down.

Standing on the veranda, Gu Qinghuan watched the snow outside for a while.

The cold wind kept blowing, and soon there was some snow on the veranda.Lu Qinghuan shrank her neck, feeling that her eyelashes were about to freeze together.

"Girl Gu."

The old man, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, just came out of the house, holding a kettle in his hand, and looked like he was going to fetch water.I happened to see Gu Qinghuan on the veranda, so I walked over.

"Master Servant." Gu Qinghuan bowed his body, which was regarded as a courtesy.

"Miss Gu, you're being polite." The servant of the Ministry of Industry smiled, and white mist came out of his mouth.At this time, it was indeed too cold.

"Why is Ms. Gu looking at the snow? It's too cold, let's go back to the house to rest. I came out here to pick up the hot water, and I have to go back to the house."

"Your Excellency can actually tell the waiters in the station." Gu Qinghuan said: "It's cold, we should take a rest."

"Yes."

The minister of the Ministry of Industry seemed to be emotional, and said: "This time I went out, and something like this happened. We old men almost dragged our feet, and these trivial matters within our power will not bother others."

"I won't talk too much with Miss Gu here, I'll go get the water first."

As he spoke, he shrank his neck again.He hung the hook of the water bottle on his wrist, made a dumpling with both hands and stuffed it into his sleeve, before heading forward.

Gu Qinghuan couldn't help breathing into the palm of her hand, then rubbed her cheeks, and then went back to the room.

On this day, when Yin Zhen came back, the sky was already gloomy.Gu Qinghuan ate something by himself and was half lying on the edge of the kang, dozing off while waiting for Yinzhen to come back.

It's so late, why hasn't he come back yet?
After thinking about it, Gu Qinghuan felt like a watchdog.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

Lu Qinghuan fell into a drowsy sleep, wanted to open his eyes, but couldn't move.She struggled, only to feel that someone beside her sighed, and then put a blanket on it.

"Sleeping here? Fortunately, there is a hot kang, so I won't be cold. I came back late, are you waiting for me?"

The voice is soft and very gentle, it sounds like Yinzhen's voice.

"En." Gu Qinghuan responded lightly, and asked, "Are you back? Have you eaten yet? It's getting late, do you want to change your medicine? I'm a little sleepy, can I ask Su Peisheng to change it for you?"

"I'm the one who came back. I've eaten, and I'll let Su Peisheng change it later."

Yinzhen answered all of them, and when he turned around, he became quiet again, not knowing what he was going to do.

When Gu Qinghuan woke up again, the sky outside the window was still the same heavy.It's just that there are a few more candles on the table beside him.Yinzhen is still reading at the table.

Gu Qinghuan lifted the blanket, and found that it was the black blanket that Yinzhen always liked to cover.From above, it seemed that he could still smell the faint smell of the golden sore medicine that Gu Qinghuan gave him yesterday.

And... Yinzhen's own taste.

"woke up?"

Yinzhen heard the movement, put down the book, and looked at Gu Qinghuan.

"Hmm." Gu Qinghuan asked: "What did you find out today? Are those Blackwater bandits really just our unlucky encounters?"

"The magistrate, did you know about this before?"

"he knows."

Yinzhen said: "It's just that those mountain thieves are very shrewd and rarely come out to rob. There were a few times before, and the villagers suffered heavy losses. But he suppressed it so that this matter was not publicized."

"He said that he also sent troops to suppress the bandits, but it was a pity that they never returned. Afterwards, he was also afraid of these people. I just hope that this matter will not make too much trouble, so that he won't even get the magistrate Done."

it sounds...

Rather, it seems to be just an incompetent county magistrate who, in order to keep his black hat, does nothing and acts as a pawn to condone those thieves.

"But…"

Gu Qinghuan thought for a while, and asked a question: "But we haven't received any news at all. Is he a bit too smart to be able to do this for a county magistrate?"
