1390 Pigs Are the Happiest
Seeing Gu Ningping's painful look, Gu Xiaowan felt really uncomfortable. She pressed his hand and said, "Ningping, she asked you before, and my sister saw it. Whenever my sister mentions you, she will be very happy and say hello. Just fine!"
"Really?" The stars flashed, like a ray of light, illuminating the dark heart.
"Ning Ping, let's go to the general's mansion to post a post tomorrow, and I'll take you to see her!" Gu Xiaowan said.
Gu Ningping shook his head: "Sister, how can I be worthy of her now, she is so noble, I can't do anything, how can I get close to her!"
Gu Ningping stared helplessly at his own hands, and sat on the ground helplessly, covering his head and embracing himself, just like a child who lost his favorite toy, his loneliness made people feel distressed.
That night, Gu Xiaowan tossed and turned, and when she closed her eyes, she would see Gu Ningping's panicked eyes, full of longing but a little desperate, where there was no trace of the past, like an extinguished candle that had turned into a Total darkness.
Tossing and turning at night, but the more I think about it, the more I can't fall asleep.
Ah Zuo, who was sleeping outside, heard Gu Xiaowan's tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, lit a lamp, and came over: "Girl, can't you sleep?"
Through the curtain, Gu Xiaowan could feel A Zuo's deep concern.
Gu Xiaowan nodded. As for Ah Zuo, she was a little older than herself, but because of her rich life experience in ancient times, Gu Xiaowan did not regard Ah Zuo as her maid, but as her sister. If she had any doubts, I would tell her about difficulties, Zuo was well-informed, and sometimes gave a lot of pertinent suggestions.
Gu Xiaowan sat up, opened the curtain, and patted the place beside her: "Ah Zuo, come and sit with me!"
This is not the first time, Ah Zuo skillfully put the candle in his hand aside, and made it to the side of the bed.
Looking at Gu Xiaowan, who was not at all sleepy, she asked, "Girl, are you worried about meeting Princess Huguo this afternoon?"
Gu Xiaowan nodded: "Yes, Princess Huguo, sometimes when I think about it, I feel that this world is really wonderful. A Princess Huguo who is far away in the capital, we have this opportunity to know her and become good friends. It's incredible."
Gu Xiaowan said mockingly.
A Zuo said seriously: "Girl, you can't say that! Although you were born in a mountain village, you have tenacity and hard work that ordinary girls don't have. A hardworking person like you, no matter how far away from the capital, One day, I will still come to the capital and become a master!"
It turns out that Gu Xiaowan's idea is to become a master, earn the most money, buy more land, live in a good house, and eat good food. This has always been her lofty ideal.
It's just that, following it, there are more troubles than when there is nothing!
Just like Gu Ningping!
If they had been unknown all their lives, only worrying about their livelihood, solving the problem of food and clothing, and never having so many thoughts, maybe by this time, she would have already married and become a mother.
And Gu Ningping, maybe he worked as an apprentice in a shop in the town, then returned to the village, married a wife from the same village, and had another child. He would stay in the village all his life and would not have the opportunity to see the outside world.
In this way, there is nothing wrong with it!
Life is carefree, eating is sleeping, sleeping is eating, how can there be so many troubles!
Ah Zuo smiled, looked at the angry Gu Xiaowan and said, "Girls like to tell jokes, sleep when they eat, eat when they sleep, isn't that a pig!"
"Being a pig is also very good. You will be fed when you are hungry, and you will sleep when you are full. You don't even need to exercise. If you lose weight, someone will give you extra meals. If you are fat, you don't have to worry about losing weight. How wonderful! And, The fatter people are, the more they love them, and apart from opening their eyes during the Chinese New Year, when the white knife goes in and the red knife goes out, there are almost no worries, this life of a pig is so happy!" Gu Xiaowan said with emotion.
Although Ah Zuo felt that Gu Xiaowan's analogy was not very good, it seemed to be true.
"Girl, from what you said, it seems like it really makes sense!" In this life, a person needs to eat, drink, sleep, fight against the sky, the earth, and others. Those who do not fight well will become clouds and smoke, and after a lifetime of hard work, in the end, all things will be brought to life or not to death. This is really the truth!
"Puff..." This time it was Gu Xiaowan's turn to smile, and seeing Ah Zuo's nodding in agreement, Gu Xiaowan laughed and nodded Ah Zuo's cheek: "So you really believe it, knowing that people are like you Where is the biggest difference in pigs?"
"where?"
"Here, here..." Gu Xiaowan tapped her temple with her index finger: "The biggest difference between a human and a pig is that one has thoughts and the other has no thoughts. If a person lives for a lifetime without the ability to think, he is really a pig! "
"Girl, although Ah Zuo doesn't quite understand what you said, but Ah Zuo has heard a saying since he was a child. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tool. If you want to carve exquisite ornaments, you must have a good knife." , don’t you think so?”
Seeing that Gu Xiaowan didn't speak, Ah Zuo continued: "A Zuo has heard that as long as you practice hard enough, you can grind an iron pestle into a needle. There will be setbacks for a while, but after this period of time, there will be another village. !"
Gu Xiaowan lowered her head slightly, thinking of what Ah Zuo said about the bright willows and bright flowers in another village, and then she smiled heartily: "What a bright willow and bright flowers in another village, Ah Zuo, I am usually the one who comforts others. You made sense. That's right, there must be a road before the driveway, sharpen the ink for me, I want to write a greeting card!"
After writing the greeting card, Gu Xiaowan
Put the things into Ah Zuo's hands: "Tomorrow morning, you will go to the gate of the General's Mansion and wait, and send this invitation to Princess Huguo! Just say that I want to see her, the sooner the better!"
"Miss, don't worry, Ah Zuo will go on this trip tomorrow before dawn, and he will definitely get things done! Girl, it's already late at night, girl, please rest early! Otherwise, your body won't be able to survive."
After Gu Xiaowan had something to do, she felt lighter all over, turned off the light, lay down again, closed her eyes, and fell asleep after a while.
In the early morning of the second day, Gu Xiaowan just opened her eyes, and it was still dark outside. Gu Xiaowan called Ah Zuo twice, but no one answered, but Gu Fangxi answered, "Xiao Wan woke up? Zuo Tian got up and left before dawn!"
"Auntie, why are you so early?" Gu Xiaowan hurriedly got up, and saw Gu Fangxi opened the curtain and walked in, holding a basin of hot water in her hand.
"I went to bed early last night and woke up early, but you didn't close your eyes very much last night. Look at your eyes. Do you want to lie down again?" Gu Fangxi said distressedly.
Gu Xiaowan shook her head: "No need, aunt, I'll get up, maybe there will be a message from the general's mansion soon! I'll be waiting too!"
"Is it because of Ningping?" Gu Fangxi sighed: "This child is a real one! After so many years, I still think about it in my heart, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing!"
Gu Fangxi said with emotion.
Gu Xiaowan got up, got dressed, washed, and Gu Fangxi also brought breakfast.
Just after eating, someone came to announce: "Girl, there is a girl outside the door who wants to see you! She said she is Ayu, the personal servant girl of Princess Huguo!"
The person who came was a maid surnamed Kou. She was dressed in green palace attire and had a big face. She looked naive but had some strength. He heard from Qin Yizhi that she was born in a previous family and was reliable and trustworthy. So, Gu Xiaowan stayed behind.
A girl named Kou Dan and a man named Kou Hai, both were twins from Qin Yizhi's previous family. Their parents used to work with Qin Yizhi's parents. A pair of twins, Qin Yuzhi let them go.
Unexpectedly, they met again later, the two people saw Qin Yuzhi, and they wanted to follow him no matter what, Qin Yuzhi just thought that the huge house at home needed someone to take care of him, so he agreed.
Kou Dan was placed in the inner house, and Kou Hai was placed in the outer house. Although they looked silly, they were both wise and foolish, caring and sincere.
Hearing that the maid said that Ayu was here, Gu Xiaowan hurriedly said, "Go and invite me!"
Then hurriedly stood up, simply didn't even eat breakfast, got up and walked outside.
Gu Fang was delighted to see that Gu Xiaowan woke up early in the morning and didn't eat anything. She felt very distressed. She picked up a plate of crystal dumplings and shouted from behind: "Xiaowan, Xiaowan, you haven't eaten anything. Eat two dumplings first!"
Gu Xiaowan turned her head and waved at Gu Fangxi: "Auntie, wait until I come back to eat!"
After finishing speaking, she quickly walked out of the yard, and Gu Fangxi stomped her feet angrily: "It will be cold when you come back, how can you eat!"
Gu Fangxi was so distressed, she thought about it, and hurriedly picked up the dumplings and went out, walking quickly in the direction Gu Xiaowan was going.
Gu Xiaowan walked through the corridor familiarly, and when she came to the front hall, she happened to see Ayu walking this way.
Seeing Gu Xiaowan, Ayu immediately helped her down: "Ayu, please greet Anping County Lord!"
Gu Xiaowan hurriedly stepped forward to help her: "Miss Ayu, you don't need to be like this, get up quickly!"
