in the sound of swallows

Chapter 49

Gu Chaobei felt that Shen Guiyan might have used all her luck to make him happy, so it was her own bad luck that happened twice this time.

Without saying a word, he got up and ran outside.

"Hey, I still have something to say!" Yuwen Changqing stood up and said, "That's the Queen's order, so you should listen to it!"

Today, he didn't come to look for Gu Chaobei with nothing to do, the queen personally entrusted him to "consolate" the newly appointed Minister Gu.This lecture is not over yet, how can there be any reason to let him go?
So Yuwen Changqing also chased him out.

Both of them rode horses and ran very fast, but when they returned to the mansion, they had almost finished playing the board.

Shen Guiyan's expression was quite calm, but the sweat was dripping down her forehead, and her hands were tightly grasped.The board is made of solid wood, and it hurts even if you don't hit it hard, let alone hit it hard like this.

Bao Shan next to him had red eyes and kowtowed to Mrs. Gu non-stop.Madam Gu watched calmly and touched the jade bracelet in her hand.

"Stop!" Gu Chaobei watched from a distance, shouted, and rushed into the main hall, trying to stop the servant who was holding the board.

"Stop him!" Mrs. Gu was taken aback, and waved her hand quickly, and five or six servants came up to block Gu Chaobei.

"The family law is not finished, how can I interrupt it?" Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Chaobei, slapped the table and said, "You are becoming more and more unruly. Even if you have become an official, you are still the heir of my Gu family, and even the ancestors' rules Don't keep it?"

The Gu family's family law is very strict, and no interruptions are allowed during the family law. Even if they hit the wrong person, they have to wait until the beating is over.The family law boards are generally enshrined in the ancestral hall, not ordinary wood.

When Mrs. Gu led Shen Guiyan to the main hall, she caught a glimpse of a house slave reporting the news. She didn't stop her, so she knew that the family law must have been used every now and then, and it would be impossible for Gu Chaobei to stop him when he came back.

Gu Chaobei's eyes widened slightly, Shen Guiyan didn't look back at him, but her body relaxed a lot, the next plank fell down again, with a heavy muffled sound, it made her fall slightly forward, but she supported herself with her hands land.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Chaobei stretched out his feet and kicked away the people blocked in front of him.The servant next to him came up and grabbed his arm, and he yelled, "Zuiyun!"

Zhuiyun from behind followed up to stop the attacking house slave, Madam Gu suddenly stood up and said, "It's against you! How dare you make a move in front of me?"

With a cold snort, Gu Chaobei shook off the group of servants with a sullen face, stepped forward and half knelt beside Shen Guiyan, and looked down at her: "Yan'er?"

"Two more hits." Shen Guiyan gritted her teeth, eyes half closed due to dizziness, and said in a muffled voice, "You didn't come early, since you came late, it's better to let her finish the beating."

Still able to talk, Gu Chaobei heaved a sigh of relief, supported her by the shoulders and said, "If you can save yourself two blows, that's two blows. Don't talk about it, I'll take you back."

Shen Guiyan shook her head stiffly, her voice was so low that only Gu Chaobei could hear it: "You are stupid, if you leave now, everyone in front will suffer in vain."

"You still want her to finish?" Gu Chaobei frowned: "Crazy?"

Shen Guiyan was speechless and just shook her head with her eyes closed.I have already suffered all the suffering, and now I almost lose consciousness on my back. It really doesn't matter if you beat more or less.That being the case, it's better to let her finish the fight and the family law, so she can ask the prime minister to comment.Otherwise, it would be Gu Chaobei who would be punished for breaking the family law.

"Come here, please let the fourth young master go." Mrs. Gu said with a livid face, "I'm not dead yet, so the rules in this house cannot be messed up. It doesn't matter whether he is the servant of the Ministry of punishment or what, even if he becomes the prime minister, as long as he is under my care The mansion must be under my control!"

Hearing the words, the house slave came up to pull Gu Chaobei. Gu Chaobei froze and looked at Shen Guiyan. The latter shook his head slightly, and he reluctantly let them pull him aside.

Yuwen Changqing stood silently at the door, the eyes of everyone in the hall were on Shen Guiyan and Gu Chaobei, and no one noticed him yet.He looked at the back of Shen Guiyan, who was kneeling on the ground, and felt that it was a strange woman who had suffered so many slaps, that it hurt others to see her, yet she could still kneel upright.

After two slaps on the board, it was over in the blink of an eye. The family slave invited the family law back, and Gu Chaobei walked back to Shen Guiyan and squatted down next to him.

"Are you ok?"

Shen Guiyan didn't speak, just knelt and remained motionless.

Gu Chaobei sighed, turned his head to look at Mrs. Gu and said, "What big mistake did Yan'er make to ask mother to ask for family law?"

Mrs. Gu's face was still not very good-looking, she beat Shen Guiyan, but she didn't say a word, which didn't make people feel happy at all.

"Ya'er was pushed to the point where she lost her child, and a family law is nothing more than a small punishment."

Shen Guiya had a miscarriage?Gu Chaobei raised his eyebrows, and was about to say more, but the maid from the east courtyard came in slowly and said, "Ma'am, the eldest young lady has woken up, and said that she has something to say to the lady."

Mrs. Gu nodded: "Then I'll go there first, and you guys take Yan'er back to the North Courtyard first, and according to the punishment, you can't let her go out of the house."

"Yes." Everyone agreed.

Mrs. Gu walked out of the main hall holding the maid's hand, only then did she see Yuwen Changqing next to her.However, she hadn't been out of the house very much, and she was very unfamiliar with this newly promoted celebrity in the court. Seeing his attire, she stopped hesitantly: "Who is this?"

"I was ordered by the queen to come to talk to Gu Shilang. I never thought that I would not finish my sentence, but..."

Queen's people?Mrs. Gu's eyes lit up, and she immediately put on a smiling face: "I have neglected my lord. There is something in the house, and I made my lord laugh. The master should go back to the house later, why don't you move to the main courtyard?"

"No need." Yuwen Changqing said with a smile: "I'm just here to look for the servant."

The smile on her face froze slightly, Madam Gu pursed her lips, she couldn't say much, she saluted and left.

Gu Shilang, Gu Shilang, Gu Chaobei has not been able to officially become the servant, and the queen's people are following him?It's really lucky, but in this way, the possibility of Dong'er wanting to snatch this seat back is even smaller?
Mrs. Gu thought to herself, it's time for her to help Dong'er.

"How did you endure it?" Gu Chaobei carefully carried her on his back and walked slowly towards the north courtyard: "I suffered from that method when I was a child, and I almost passed out five times, but you actually received twenty times. "

"Want to know?" Shen Guiyan closed her eyes, gasping like gossamer.

"Yeah." Gu Chaobei nodded: "Don't fall asleep, tell me."

Shen Guiyan forced a smile: "I was kneeling on the ground, and I kept counting in my heart. If she hit me once, I'll go to her mother. If she hit me twice, I'll go to her grandma. If she hit me three times, I'll go to her mother's house." Fuck her grandma... This method is written in the book, just twenty times ago, the twenty generations of her family should have been greeted by me. I didn't expect it to work, it didn't hurt so much, haha."

Gu Chaobei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What kind of books are you reading?"

"I read all kinds of books." Shen Guiyan's voice became smaller and smaller: "Miscellaneous books and strange anecdotes can be written about everything. My favorite is "The Story of a Mandarin Duck". The young master in it said: I will marry you and love you in this life. , I love you, even if it’s simple, even if the days are boring, I will definitely live up to you.”

Gu Chaobei was slightly taken aback.
