Chapter 31 A Woman's Heart Shouldn't Be Big
Men's feelings are really like the weather.When it’s sunny and cloudless, I treat you so well that it feels like it’s never going to rain again.But once it rains, no amount of sunny days ahead will count.The change from cloudy to sunny depends entirely on their mood, and they can only accept it.

Gu Chaobei took her back to the room, and said with a smile, "I'm going back tomorrow, are the gifts ready?"

Shen Guiyan nodded: "All the necessary etiquette is complete, and you will have to stay for three days when you go back. Can you stay?"

Gu Chaobei fell on the bed, and said casually: "Is there anything I can't stay, go back to your mother's house, no matter how boring I am, I will stay for three days."

"Thank you."

She really doesn't ask too much of him now, just don't go to Zuihuayin when you return to the door.

Gu Chaobei turned over and looked at her: "Lady, you really don't mind being so flirtatious as your husband?"

Shen Guiyan raised her eyebrows, poured hot tea and handed it a cup: "Do you mind if it's useful? Husband likes that place, and I can't stop him from going there."

"But if you were someone else's wife, you would be angry." Gu Chaobei looked at her, dissatisfied: "You don't seem to have any reaction at all."

"Husband really wants to see my concubine angry?" Shen Guiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Other people's husbands will try their best to coax your wife. It's the first time I've met you so deliberately to anger me."

Gu Chaobei was dumbfounded, drank his tea and took off his outer clothes on the ground with a straight face: "I'm going to rest."

"Okay." Shen Guiyan got up, reached out to pick up the clothes on the ground, and was about to hang them next to her.

But as soon as she picked it up, she couldn't help smelling it, and Shen Guiyan frowned.

When going out, Gu Chaobei was wearing this long gown with blue silver flower arrow sleeves. After staying outside for seven days without changing it, he was drunk and dreamy, but the clothes turned out to be very clean, and there was no smell of rouge or wine.

"Can you help people wash clothes in the shade of drunken flowers, sir?" Shen Guiyan asked in a low voice.

Gu Chaobei turned over on the bed, and said in a daze, "The precious land, who will wash your clothes for you?"

That is, the clothes have not been washed?
It's so strange, no matter what, after staying in the shade of drunken flowers for seven days, the clothes should have smelled of rouge and wine, and would be dirty.It turned out that his piece was just sweaty and not dirty at all.

Hanging up the clothes, Shen Guiyan couldn't help but go to bed to look at Gu Chaobei.This person had an overly indulgent and exhausted look on his face, and the blackness under his eyes was a bit dark.

She was suddenly curious about what he had been doing for the past seven days.

Obviously, Gu Chaobei would not tell her, even if he asked, Shen Guiyan could only rest and wait for the door to return tomorrow.

Going back to the door is just a girl going back to her mother's house to tell how her life is. Aunt Qin is dead, and Shen Guiyan really has nothing to say, but according to etiquette, she got up early in the morning and prepared to go out.

Butler Gu prepared a carriage for them, and Gu Chaobei looked like he was still asleep, got into the carriage and continued to sleep.

Gui Yan lay on the window of the car and looked outside.

A lot of refugees have come to the capital recently, all of whom were displaced by the flood in Cheongju.However, the imperial court only gave a very small amount of money to relieve the disaster, and through layers of exploitation, not even a single coin fell into the hands of the people.

As a result, there were many ragged people on the street, leaning on the corner and crying.

Shen Guiyan saw many children at a glance, sitting next to the adults and looking around helplessly.People in the capital would avoid them when they passed by, let alone lend a helping hand.

"It's so pitiful." Shen Guiyan sighed softly.

Gu Chaobei, who had been sleeping next to her, said: "The world is so big, you can't sympathize with everyone."

Shen Guiyan was startled, turned to look at him and said, "Are you awake?"

"The car is so bumpy, can you fall asleep?" Gu Chaobei closed his eyes and leaned on her shoulder: "I will sleep when I get to the Shen residence."

Shen Guiyan nodded and continued to look outside.

I don't know which high-ranking official's carriage passed by, and a group of disaster victims shrank back to the side of the street in fright.When the carriage stopped, someone laughed loudly: "Look at these people, I'm afraid they have never seen a tall carriage? They are so frightened!"

Shen Guiyan frowned, and saw from the window that the carriage turned around as if having fun, and rushed towards the place where there were many victims, scaring the victims to scramble and scramble in all directions, and then laughter came from the carriage. It's even bigger: "It's very interesting! It's very interesting!"

"Stop!" Shen Guiyan's face darkened.

Gu Chaobei opened his eyes, followed her gaze to look at the carriage outside, and said with a low smile, "Miss, don't mind your own business, let's go first."

"That carriage looks like it belongs to an official!" Shen Guiyan was a little annoyed: "As an official, he doesn't care about the public opinion, but treats the refugees as a joke, driving wantonly to scare them. Isn't this kind of thing stopped?"

Gu Chaobei hugged her over and said with a light smile: "You can do it if you know that many things in this world are not right. It is Uncle Wen Guo's carriage. Even if my father comes, he can't stop it." of."

Uncle Wen Guo, the Queen's younger brother.

Shen Guiyan froze for a moment, then pursed her lips.The queen's party has always been arrogant, and the emperor turned a blind eye to it. Loyal officials died in the court, and treacherous officials ran rampant among the common people. It is indeed not something that a little girl like her can stop.

However, taking a look at the crazy carriage, and looking at the refugees running around crying and running, Shen Guiyan said with a sullen face: "They will have retribution."

"Well, let's go to Shen's Mansion first." Gu Chaobei nodded her nose funny: "You girl, you don't care about rouge and gouache, what do you care about the common people?"

"Sir taught me." Shen Guiyan said with downcast eyes: "I came from the common people, how could I not work for the common people."

Gu Chaobei was slightly surprised: "Your husband taught you to be a man? A woman is in charge of the house, just take care of the family affairs, and leave the outside to the man."

Shen Guiyan glanced at Gu Chaobei with complicated eyes, she didn't mind meddling with the affairs of the Gu mansion, but other than that, could it be possible that this dude could still intervene a little bit?
The carriage traveled far away, and Uncle Wen Guo's atrocities could no longer be seen. Shen Guiyan didn't speak any more along the way, just meditating.

Gu Chaobei glanced at her, and only when Shen Fu was about to get off the carriage did he say: "Everyone is accountable, the world will not be chaotic, Yan'er, you are a woman, so don't think about saving the common people, you can't save them either. "

The corners of Shen Guiyan's mouth twitched slightly, she didn't say a word, how did this person know what she was thinking?

The people in the Shen residence had been waiting early in the morning, but Master Shen and Madam Shen did not come out, and the two aunts were waiting outside.

As soon as she saw them, Aunt Ding laughed and said, "It's actually earlier than Miss Fifth, probably because there are fewer things and the wheels run faster."

You have to bring a gift when you return home. Gu Chaobei is a bastard, so the gift is naturally not as much as Gu Chaodong.But I didn't expect Aunt Ding to talk about it just as I got out of the car.

Gu Chaobei got out of the car first, pretending he didn't hear Aunt Ding's words, turned around and stretched out his hand, and directly hugged Shen Guiyan who was about to get out of the car.

The two aunts were startled, Shen Guiyan blushed, and whispered, "What are you doing?"

Gu Chaobei smiled: "My husband doesn't want you to walk more, so I thought I'd better carry you in."

Shen Guiyan: "..."

Aunt Ding and Aunt Fang didn't know what to say for a while, they were so close in broad daylight...well, they are a couple, so no one else can say anything.

But two people who obviously got married without any relationship, what are they so sticky about?
Aunt Ding snorted coldly, followed behind and went in with them.Hug it if you want to hug it, it will be too dazzling, what else?

As a result, today Gu Chaobei had planned it long ago. He walked all the way without looking at the road, but only stared at Shen Guiyan affectionately: "Are you tired?"

Shen Guiyan shook her head, glanced at the servants around her who were hanging their heads firmly, and said in a low voice, "You don't have to be like this..."

"I'm willing." Gu Chaobei bared his teeth at her, hugged her and went to the hall.

When Master Shen and Mrs. Shen looked up, they saw Fourth Young Master Gu wearing a white-bottomed blue flowered arrow-sleeved robe, holding Shen Guiyan in his arms, and entering the door with a gentle smile on his face.

"Say hello to father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Shen Guiyan stared at him, you put her down after asking An, she hasn't saluted yet!

Master Shen's expression was a bit complicated: "You don't need to be too polite."

"Say hello to father and mother." Shen Guiyan finally struggled to get off the ground, straightened her clothes and saluted.

Mrs. Shen chuckled: "Okay, it's good to see you come back safely. I happen to have something to teach you, so just follow me."

"Yes." Shen Guiyan lowered her eyes, and followed Mrs. Shen to a side hall.

Master Shen got up, approached Gu Chaobei and said, "Fourth Young Master, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Then stop talking." Gu Chaobei said with a playful smile.

Shen Shiqing had faint veins on his forehead, so he didn't talk nonsense with him, and said directly: "Yan'er is married to the fourth young master, but I heard that the fourth young master still often hangs around the place of fireworks?"

Gu Chaobei stood up straight, and smiled lightly: "Yes, how can a man's nature change just because he gets married?"

"You..." Shen Shiqing thought that in front of the elders, this person would at least restrain himself, how could he know that it was so...

"Father-in-law, please don't worry." Gu Chaobei smiled and said, "My son-in-law is also sincere to Yan'er."

Shit!Shen Shiqing was so angry that he took a deep breath, if this person was sincere, it would be raining red!
"The scientific examination is coming soon, does the Fourth Young Master have any ideas?" Master Shen asked after calming down for a while.

No parent would want their son-in-law to be nothing all the time.

Gu Chaobei smiled and shook his head: "It's so boring to be in the officialdom. Now that women are in the world, is there any room for men?"

Shen Shiqing was startled, and tugged on his sleeve in fright: "Fourth Young Master, be careful!"

Half of the world is owned by Queen Wen, if people listen to it, won't it be to blame Lian's family?

"It's boring." Gu Chaobei curled his lips and said, "Don't worry about father-in-law, my son-in-law can live on his own."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and said, "Where is Yan'er's yard heading?"

Shen Shiqing was angry and helpless, he thought it would be good to find a job through connections, but he didn't know that this person was so unmotivated, it was a waste of all his hard work!
