Chapter 164 (1/2)
The second day of October is the birthday of Si Xingyu.
Every year on his birthday, when the old lady asked him to go back to dinner, he would refuse, and even feel very bad.
”That day my mother suffered and gave birth to me...” He always says that.
He can't recall.
He couldn't accept anything about his mother.
The world didn't know the truth about his mother's death, and Si Xingyu disdained to pour out his bitterness. He carried all his own affairs.
This is what sister-in-law Zhu wants to tell Gu Qingzhou.
It's sister-in-law Zhu's belief to eat longevity noodles for her birthday.
Sister-in-law Zhu wants to trouble Gu Qingzhou to cook noodles for Si Xingyu.
”The Young Marshal always fights outside. How can he do without some luck? I cook longevity noodles and he won't eat them. He listens to you most. You can cook him a bowl of longevity noodles.” Sister-in-law Zhu begged Gu Qingzhou road.
Gu Qingzhou was embarrassed: ”but I won't.”
She didn't expect that today was Si Xingyu's birthday.
”Let me teach you something.” Sister-in-law Zhu said.
Sister Zhu reconciled the noodles and told Gu Qingzhou how to knead them.
Gu Qingzhou's injury has healed, but she doesn't have enough strength. Sister-in-law Zhu rubs it hard and asks Gu Qingzhou to rub it symbolically.
When she woke up, sister-in-law Zhu chatted with Gu Qingzhou and talked about Si Xingyu's mother.
”My wife was hanged, not dead. Outsiders don't know about it. The young commander doesn't allow me to talk nonsense. I only told you.” Sister Zhu whispered and told Gu Qingzhou the secret.
She probably felt that Gu Qingzhou would not leave the company. It was her own.
Sister Zhu paused and continued, ”when my wife left, the young commander was only three years old. Just a year later, the governor married a new wife.”
Gu Qingzhou was silent.
Speaking of this, Gu Qingzhou felt a little guilty. She knows one thing, but she can't say it for the time being.
”... his wife threw herself into the house. There was no one in the house. Only the young marshal was at home. He held his wife's leg and cried for most of the day.” Sister-in-law Zhu said.
A chill spread from the back of Gu's boat.
She bit her lip gently.
”What a pity!” Sister-in-law Zhu began to wipe her tears. Some things, no matter how long they have been in the past, are still heartbreaking to mention.
Then sister-in-law Zhu said, ”I worked at my wife's house when I was eight years old and grew up with her. Later, my wife married and took me to the Secretary's house. On the day my wife died, she deliberately supported me.
When I got back to the Secretary's house, my wife was put on the board. I don't know why the seven orifices began to bleed. I'm afraid I'm reluctant to give up the young commander. When we said that his wife had left, the Young Marshal said no, 'mummy is still bleeding, and the dead don't bleed.' the young marshal was three years old at that time! ”
Gu Qingzhou was still silent, but his heart was sore.
Did Si Xingpei feel that bleeding was the sign of life from that day on?
Did his bloodthirsty madness fall from that time?
Maybe that was just the beginning, let him understand: bleeding is good, bleeding means he didn't lose his mother.
”... alas, poor.” Sister-in-law Zhu sighed deeply and couldn't help crying.
She didn't want to cry today, so she tried to hold back and interrupted to teach Gu to knead noodles in the canoe.
Gu Qingzhou was also slightly touched and said, ”I... I'll do it myself!”
She rubbed a ball of dough into the hard way and exerted a little force, resulting in fine sweat on her forehead.
Si Xingyao seldom came back early in the afternoon. He didn't think that today was his birthday, but the weather turned cold. He bought Gu Qingzhou a shawl.
This is a pure white snow silk shawl, decorated with a long white thick tassel. Wearing it on her, it looks like a blooming white rose, swinging open one after another.
He thought it was very nice. Just after the military affairs were handled, he came back early.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Gu Qingzhou busy in the kitchen.
Gu Qingzhou was wearing a homely lotus colored slanted jacket with half rolled sleeves, thick green hair in a low bun and a drooping pink neck. He looked like a wife.
The heart of the company moves slightly.
Putting down the gift, he went to the kitchen and saw Gu Qingzhou kneading his noodles. Si Xinghui frowned: ”you haven't recovered from your injury. What are you doing with so much effort?”
Gu Qingzhou lifts Yi's smile and reveals his small waxy white teeth.
Sister-in-law Zhu explained: ”today is the Young Marshal's birthday. Miss Gu wants to make longevity noodles for the Young Marshal.”
The secretary was stunned.
He wanted to get angry. His face sank slightly. At the same time, he saw Gu Qingzhou struggling to knead the noodles. His heart softened again, and the fire went down.
”I'm just a birthday.” Si Xingpei said, and then came forward to take care of the boat's hand, ”wash your hands, let's go out to dinner!”
Mrs. Zhu stood nearby and didn't dare to persuade deeply.
Because sister-in-law Zhu grew up next to Si Xingpei's mother, she looks like Si Xingpei's aunt and more like an elder. Si Xingpei respects her very much and doesn't use her as a servant.
Si Xingyu will listen to everything sister-in-law Zhu says. Dudu's birthday violates his taboo.
When it comes to birthday, you think of his mother
He can't think!
”I rubbed it for a long time.” Gu Qingzhou hesitated, ”sister-in-law Zhu and I have prepared all morning and are about to get better. Longevity noodles are blessed. You often have things all year round. What if your luck runs out?”
Her worried eyes fell softly on Si Xingyu's face.
The company was a little shaken.
Gu Qingzhou struck while the iron was hot: ”I cook for the first time...”
This sentence finally moved Si Xingyu.
”OK, try your craft.” He said.
Gu Qingzhou's face was almost kneaded, and sister-in-law Zhu helped to knead it a few more times, and then it was completely kneaded.
