Chapter 208: Born in the same quilt, died in the same hole
After the reunion dinner, Gu Yu went back to rest, and Cheng Lang handed Gu Ruchu to the wet nurse. He accompanied Su Yuan to wait for Zishi and the arrival of the new year.
"It's windy at night! Don't catch a cold." Su Yuan put one of her own cloaks on Cheng Lang.
Cheng Lang held her in his arms. "Another year has passed! I will be going to East City by early spring at the latest. Is Yuan'er ready?"
Su Yuan was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "We're ready! Chuchu is a little older now, so she can go with us."
"Are you willing to leave Yu'er?" Cheng Lang was still worried that Su Yuan would not be willing to leave Gu Yu, so she would stay in Kyoto.
"Yu'er is grown up now. He has his own ideas. He wants to stay in Kyoto. I won't force him to leave." Su Yuan explained.
Gu Yu is fifteen years old this year and can stand on his own.
She would respect Gu Yu's choice and would not force him to do anything he didn't want to do.
What's more, Kyoto is safe, so she feels relieved that Gu Yu stays in Kyoto.
"I can't bear to separate you and Yu'er." Cheng Lang still felt a little sad and conflicted.
Cheng Lang tilted her head to look at him, and she suddenly smiled and said, "How about Chuchu and I stay here, and you go to East City alone? Then you can come back to see us occasionally."
"No! No! I..." Cheng Lang was about to explain, but when he saw Su Yuan's cunning smile, he suddenly laughed too.
"Are you kidding me?" Cheng Lang pinched her hard.
Su Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Who told you to act so pretentiously here?"
Cheng Lang: ...
How is he pretending?
He really couldn't bear it, but in comparison, it would be better to let Gu Yu suffer from lovesickness.
Sooner or later, Gu Yu will grow up, get married, start a family, and have his own wife and children.
Instead of feeling sorry for Gu Yu, he should feel sorry for himself.
Su Yuan leaned in his arms, listening to the first sound of firecrackers coming from outside.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, His Majesty passed away and the whole country observed mourning for three months.
In early February, Crown Prince Sima You ascended the throne.
The young prince Sima Ziming was made crown prince.
At the beginning of March, Your Majesty allowed Sima Ziyue to return to his fiefdom as King of Jin.
Before Sima Ziyue left, he became sworn brothers with Liu Xun and Gu Yu.
"I have been in Kyoto for so many years, and I really don't want to leave! Big brother, third brother, you must come to Quzhou to visit me when you have time!" Sima Ziyue reminded.
Liu Xun nodded, and Gu Yu smiled and said, "Your Highness, go to Quzhou and reunite with Prince Jin and Princess. Maybe in a few years, you will run back to Kyoto again."
With Sima Ziyue's personality, he definitely doesn't want to stay in Quzhou for the rest of his life.
Kyoto is bustling, so he will still come to Kyoto.
Their separation was only temporary.
"Wait for my eldest brother's wedding! I will definitely come back! And I will also come back when you get married." Sima Ziyue said with a smile.
Gu Yu glanced at Liu Xun and said, "Big brother is seventeen this year and has already been engaged to a girl from the Mu family. Maybe they will get married in the next two years."
Liu Xun glared at him, "The marriage is not yet decided, don't talk nonsense!"
"One of you has Miss Mu, and the other has Sister Luo'er! I am the only one who doesn't have a confidante! I have to go to Quzhou to find a young lady." Sima Ziyue said casually.
Liu Xun and Gu Yu looked at each other and said nothing.
"Okay! It's getting late, I'm leaving! Take care of yourselves." Sima Ziyue said, and then he got on the carriage.
Liu Xun and the other person waited until the group had gone far away before going back with Gu Yu.
Gu Yu sent Sima Ziyue away, and then he was about to send Cheng Lang and the other two away.
The Zhennan Marquis Mansion announced that the lady was ill and recuperating, so Su Yuan left with her wet nurse and Gu Ruchu.
"Mom! You and your sister must take good care of yourselves! When you have had enough fun outside, come back to Kyoto to accompany the children." Gu Yu held Su Yuan's hand reluctantly, still reluctant to let Su Yuan and the others leave.
But he also understood that his adoptive father needed his mother and sister more than he did.
He didn't want to force his mother and sister to stay and leave his adoptive father alone.
He was in Kyoto, with his elder brother and Luo'er by his side, but his adoptive father only had his mother and younger sister.
How could he bear to fight with his adoptive father?
"Silly child! In one or two years, mother will bring your sister back to Beijing! Mother will definitely come back when you get married." Su Yuan said with a smile.
She just wanted to go out and have some fun, and when she had enough fun, she would still return to Kyoto to settle down.
Gu Yu pursed his lips slightly, waiting for his wedding...
He still doesn't know when he will get married.
"When I have time, I will go to East City to visit mother and sister." Gu Yu said with a smile.
Su Yuan nodded. "Everything in the mansion is now in your hands. Your father...I'm afraid he won't have much time left. When the time comes, you will be responsible for the funeral. Can you do it?"
Gu Yu nodded firmly, "Of course! Just don't worry, Mom."
In that case, Su Yuan has nothing to say.
She believed in Gu Yu.
Su Yuan handed Gu Ruchu to the wet nurse and asked them to sit in a more stable carriage at the back, while she and Cheng Lang sat in the front one.
After waving goodbye to Gu Yu, Su Yuan lowered the car curtain.
She leaned lightly on Cheng Lang's shoulder, not knowing what she was thinking.
Cheng Lang held her hand and said, "Why are your hands so cold? It's already March."
Su Yuan shook her head. "It's okay! I just can't bear to leave Yu'er."
The first thing she did when she came to this world was to ask Cheng Lang to come forward and save Gu Yu.
Fortunately, God still favored her and allowed her to come into this world before Gu Yu got into trouble. Otherwise, she would definitely regret it for the rest of her life.
"If you hadn't rescued Yu'er in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Brother, thank you! You are Yu'er's savior! Su Yuan will definitely be grateful to you." Su Yuan said, holding Cheng Lang's big hand.
Cheng Lang smiled and said, "It was you who saved Yu'er, not me! I, as your brother, was not responsible enough, otherwise Yu'er would not have suffered for so many years, and would not have...
That’s all! It’s good like this now!”
"Brother, do you know when I fell in love with you?" Su Yuan suddenly asked him with a smile.
Cheng Liang became interested and wanted to know too.
Su Yuan bit her lip. "From the first moment I saw you, I've had a crush on you! You're such a handsome duke, and a gentleman who keeps himself clean. Any woman would be attracted to you."
Cheng Lang: ...
I just have a liking for you, not love you!
"Really? But you don't want to marry me." Cheng Lang said seriously.
Su Yuan: ...
Again!
"Is a marriage certificate more important, or is mutual understanding more important? Is it more important that I marry you, or is it more important that I love you?" Su Yuan asked.
Cheng Lang gritted his teeth. Su Yuan knew how to control him.
"Of course loving me is more important! It doesn't matter if I have no name or status in this life! It's enough to have Yuan'er love me." Cheng Lang admitted it.
Su Yuan hugged him tightly, "A hundred years from now, I will be buried with Su Yan. Does this count as marrying you?"
Cheng Lang's heart skipped a beat, "Forget it!"
I don’t even need a marriage certificate!
In this life, he has Su Yuan's body and heart, which is enough.
?They sleep in the same bed in life and are buried in the same grave in death. They are truly husband and wife.
