Night Speech

On May 18th, the 12th year of Shuntian, Gu Jinzhi gave birth to another baby boy.

The whole process went very smoothly.

The child was born with six pounds and four ounces, with bright eyes and a black fetal hair.

As soon as he was born, his eyes and mouth could be seen to look like Zhu Zhongjun.

It grows gradually and looks more and more like...

Zhu Zhongjun said, "Gu Jinzhi, this child looks like Rongnan..."

Rongnan looks like Zhu Zhongjun...

Gu Jinzhi glanced at him and thought a little.

Zhu Zhongjun didn't notice Gu Jinzhi's expression. He was very happy. He wanted to give the child a nickname Rongnan and his big name Yanying.

Gu Jinzhi said: "Yanying sounds very nice. Ying is talented, outstanding, and has a good meaning. She is called Yanying, and her nickname is Ying Geer..."

She disagrees with her second son's nickname Rongnan.

Zhu Zhongjun also glanced at her.

Then, he thought Gu Jinzhi's words were very reasonable. It would be better not to call this child Rongnan. In his previous life, he had a deep relationship with Rongnan.

He smiled and said, "Then what is the nickname you call?"

"You don't have to have a nickname." Gu Jinzhi smiled, "Our brothers and sisters have never given nicknames. They just call them Ying Ge'er. In the future, if you have children, you won't have nicknames. Yanshan is different, he is in the mansion.

The eldest son should be tapped, and the younger brothers below are not necessary to be on par with Yanshan..."

Gu Jinzhi's words are good.

Zhu Zhongjun did not refute her and smiled and said, "Then Brother Ying?" Then he acted well and said to Gu Jin. "Let me have a daughter next year?"

Gu Jinzhi pretended to be angry and pushed him: "Didn't you say that no matter how many sons there are, don't you dislike me?"

"Of course, the more sons, the better, but my daughter is a caring little cotton-padded jacket, and my son can't compare to it. I also want a daughter." Zhu Zhongjun said with her arms around.

Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "I'm so greedy."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

This year, Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun were twenty-three years old.

They are already parents of two children.

Thinking of the time of their previous life, they had not graduated yet, both of them felt a lot of emotion.

In the 12th year of Shuntian, the imperial court ordered the prince to return to the capital to celebrate the New Year.

Zhu Zhongjun's two children, one is three and a half years old, but are weak and thin; the other is seven months old, and Gu Jinzhi has given birth, so it is not suitable to travel long distances. He wants to refuse to go to Beijing for the New Year again.

Gu Jinzhi advised him: "We haven't returned to Beijing for the New Year for four years. The emperor is just afraid that he will think too much. When you go back this year, you will hand it to my parents and show your filial piety."

Zhu Zhongjun shook his head: "I promise you that I will accompany you every New Year in the future. In the past, we always said that we had to force ourselves and couldn't celebrate the New Year together. There were not so many forced ourselves, but we were heartless but not. Now I don't want to worry about these things, I

There is nothing more important than you, mother and son to celebrate the New Year…”

Gu Jinzhi frowned slightly.

She privately advised Zhu Zhongjun: "If you have made those cannons, what if the court becomes suspicious and find out? It's better to go back and let the court rest assured..."

"I don't care." Zhu Zhongjun said, "What I hide. If the court can find it, I will live to the end. Gu Jinzhi. Believe me..."

Gu Jinzhi bit his lower lip lightly.

She didn't sleep well that night.

She was thinking about Zhu Zhongjun's words repeatedly.

Then, she leaned silently on Zhu Zhongjun's back and hugged his arm. At first, she was a little loose, but gradually became tighter and tighter, awakening Zhu Zhongjun.

In the darkness, he was speechless and asked, "What's wrong? Have you had a nightmare?"

Gu Jinzhi whispered softly, "No", burying his head behind him.

Zhu Zhongjun woke up completely. He turned over, hugged Gu Jinzhi in his arms, and asked her, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Gu Jinzhi did not answer.

After a moment, she said, "I love you..."

Zhu Zhongjun was shocked.

He quickly got up and called the maid to move in with the lamp.

Gu Jinzhi had no choice but to get up too.

He took the lamp and shone it on Gu Jinzhi's face. Seeing her eyes were red, he couldn't help but feel worried and asked, "Why are you crying? What's going on in the middle of the night? Tell me what's going on? Was it a matter of going back to Beijing?"

Gu Jinzhi blinked gently, trying to relieve his discomfort in his eyes, and said, "I haven't cried. I haven't fallen asleep, my eyes are a little dry."

Zhu Zhongjun looked at her face again.

She had no choice but to smile and make Zhu Zhongjun feel at ease.

"Then you just said..." Zhu Zhongjun's voice was filled with joy, "Why did you suddenly say such numb words?"

Gu Jinzhi lowered his eyes and smiled.

Then, she grabbed Zhu Zhongjun's hand, rubbed it gently, and said in a quiet tone: "I used to say a lot of excessive things... At that time, I felt resentful. I mistakenly thought that you never cared about a husband and wife for the rest of your life.

I always feel uneasy when I pass by. Now, those words have become your constraints... I feel very guilty..."

The more Zhu Zhongjun listened, the more solemn his expression became.

Finally, there was already mist floating in his eyes.

He suddenly hugged Gu Jinzhi in his arms, holding her a little suffocating.

"...If you don't go back to Beijing, you are not sure that the emperor will not suspect you, but is afraid that I will complain again in the future, complaining about you leaving your wife and children?" Gu Jinzhi's voice suddenly became wet, "I'm sorry to you. Zhu Zhongjun

, You said you like me, and I believed it, and I was relieved. It is enough for you to care about me, it is worthy of everything I have to offer to you. Don’t worry about me too much. Gu Jinzhi, who was full of resentment in the past, is no longer here

,We trust each other, okay? This year, you go back to Beijing..."

"Okay." Zhu Zhongjun answered firmly. Then, he said, "You can say that just now to me again."

Gu Jinzhi was right in his ear and said again, "I love you."

Zhu Zhongjun hugged her arm, tightened a little more, and said, "Don't regret it."

"Don't regret it." Gu Jin's way.

****

During the Spring Festival in the 13th year of Shuntian, Gu Jinzhi spent the Spring Festival with two children.

She calculated the days, and Zhu Zhongjun could only quit his leave after the fourth day of the New Year and then went home. It took at least two months from the capital to Luzhou, and he should be able to get home in March.

It was a time when peach blossoms were in full bloom.

Maybe, ten-month-old Yan Ying can speak.

Unexpectedly, in mid-February, when the flowers and willows in the spring city were flying, Zhu Zhongjun returned to Luzhou. He brought two guards and came back quickly.

It will take at least half a month for his luggage to arrive in Luzhou.

Yanshan was happy and called his father and threw himself into Zhu Zhongjun's arms.

Zhu Zhongjun held his son and kissed him again and again.

He suddenly felt a little moved: Yanshan is really unusual.

Zhu Zhongjun has been away from home for more than two months.

In his previous life, he often traveled on business for two months. At that time, Rongnan, who was four or five years old, was away from home for a long time, and Rongnan would recognize his child after he came back. If he didn't know Zhu Zhongjun, he would have to coax him for a long time before he could

Close to Zhu Zhongjun.

Yanshan has no.

Zhu Zhongjun hugged Yanshan, feeling a special satisfaction in his heart.

This is the first time.

Then, he hugged Yan Ying from Gu Jinzhi's arms.

Yanying's cheeks were chubby and almost fell off, which was particularly interesting, exactly the same as Rong Nan when she was a child.

All the hard work of the journey has gone into nothing.

Zhu Zhongjun felt that such a life was down-to-earth and quiet. It was what he dreamed of.

But Gu Jinzhi took Yan Ying back from his arms, and smiled and said to Zhu Zhongjun: "Have you worked hard all the way? The hot water is ready. Go and wash it to relieve the fatigue."

Zhu Zhongjun nodded.

Taking advantage of Zhu Zhongjun's bathing gap, Gu Jinzhi sent all the children back.

Yanshan is very obedient and more docile than girls; Yanying is only eight months old. He doesn't understand very much.

Then, Gu Jinzhi went to serve Zhu Zhongjun in person, wiped his body, and took a clean middle cloak for him to change.

Zhu Zhongjun casually put his clothes on the screen and picked up Gu Jinzhi horizontally.

He just hugged Gu Jinzhi and returned to the bedroom from the clean room.

Gu Jinzhi struggled for a while and wanted to ask him to put on his clothes so that he would not embarrass the maids. But looking at Zhu Zhongjun's chaotic eyes, he didn't say much.

The night's pain made Gu Jinzhi feel sore all over.

She had a lot to ask Zhu Zhongjun, but in the end she fell asleep first, and went to bed from the afternoon until the next morning.

When she woke up, it was not bright outside the window. In the dawn, there was a slight rustling sound of the old woman cleaning the courtyard in the yard, and she couldn't help laughing.

When did you become so careless?

However, she seemed to have never deliberately avoided her abnormality.

Zhu Zhongjun is still sleeping.

He didn't wake up until the beginning of Si.

Gu Jinzhi served him to wash, then comb his hair, and then asked him: "Have you gone to my house and have you seen my parents?"

"I saw it." Zhu Zhongjun smiled, "I came back first by riding a horse, and there was still a carriage to go to Luzhou in a few days. Your mother gave you some things."

Gu Jinzhi was moved.

She asked about her parents' health again.

Zhu Zhongjun smiled and said, "Your parents are less than forty years old, what can you do? You are in your prime, so good..."

Gu Jinzhi was speechless because he was blocked, so he had to gently tap the top of his head.

After thinking about it carefully, she laughed herself.

Then, she asked about her younger brother again.

In the past four years in Luzhou, Gu Jinzhi often received letters from his mother, so she knew most of the things. But she had to listen to Zhu Zhongjun say it again, as if this was the case before she could confirm it.

She was fascinated by the fact that Zhu Zhongjun was happy to speak.

The two of them just spent the whole morning.

"Concubine De and Concubine Su both gave you a gift..." Zhu Zhongjun said again.

Gu Jinzhi smiled and said he knew.

"Your brother did something disobedient." Zhu Zhongjun said again, but his tone was filled with a smile.

Gu Jinzhi was surprised and asked, "Another quarrel with my uncle?"

"No." Zhu Zhongjun deliberately kept it in hiding, and then stopped and looked at Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi nudged him: "Say..."

Zhu Zhongjun then cleared his throat and said, "When your grandfather passed away, didn't he leave a last word? Will the Gu daughter marry again?"

Gu Jinzhi nodded, she remembered this.

My uncle was quite disdainful at that time.

But in the end, the uncle carved the words left by his grandfather on a wooden sign and hung them in the ancestral temple as one of the Gu family's ancestral teachings.

"Your elder brother burned this one..." Zhu Zhongjun said, "Everyone in the capital is saying it. Fortunately, your elder brother is not an official, otherwise this crime of unfilial piety will be blamed. The court officials also criticized your uncle and said that he

The emperor ignored these words…”

"Why did it burn?" Gu Jinzhi asked, "Is it because something happened to my fourth sister or the fifth sister?"
