The wife of two taels of silver

Chapter 128 Why don’t you just stop enduring it?

The emperor asked Lin Haitang to come to Beijing to receive the reward.

Gu An stood beside the table. Five old men and Lin Haitang sat in a circle around the table. A piece of paper was placed in the middle of the table. The six people leaned forward to look in the middle, and their heads formed a small circle.

Lin Haitang stared at the words on the note again and again and asked, "Master, can we go back to the capital together?"

The five old men nodded in unison.

The emperor sent a message, asking Lin Haitang and the Anmin Army to go to Beijing to receive the reward.

Yang Zhiwen sat up straight and said, "Girl, don't be afraid. You still have five masters. We will accompany you. Don't be nervous."

Lin Haitang nodded and said, "Well, I'm not nervous. I haven't been to the capital yet. Is it fun?"

Shi Wei recalled the prosperity of the capital and said, "It's fun. Master knows which bakery has the best cakes. When we get to the capital, Master will take you there to eat."

What Lin Haitang has to do now is to wait for the Anmin Army to arrive in Zhanglin County, and then go to the capital with them.

Lin Haitang sat in the rocking chair, watching Gu An making ointment.

Gu An was squatting on the ground stirring the sticky liquid in the pot, his clothes brushing the ground. Gu An's elbows were resting on his knees, and his broad shoulders and narrow waist were unusually obvious.

"Gu An, in your impression, what kind of person is the emperor?" Lin Haitang suddenly asked Gu An.

Gu An's answer was simple: "Ming Jun."

Lin Haitang nodded thoughtfully, but closed her eyes without saying anything.

Zhao Hongwei and his team will probably arrive in Zhanglin County soon, so Lin Haitang needs to make more scar removal cream and earn more money.

When we first came to Zhanglin County, everyone thought we would be able to go back in two months at most. Who would have thought that even now, the time of our return home is still uncertain.

Everyone in the family has been living in the space for several months. They were supposed to be able to return to Hua'an County soon, but now they have to go to the capital. As a result, they will not be able to return to Hua'an County for at least three months.

After dinner, Lin Haitang pulled Gu An into the space.

The space was bustling with activity. Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan's laughter could be heard from far away, mixed with Xiaobai's howling.

"Mom!" Gu Mo saw Lin Haitang first. The moment he saw Lin Haitang, his eyes lit up and he ran towards Lin Haitang.

Lin Haitang bent down slightly and opened her arms to welcome Gu Mo: "Oh! My big baby son!"

Lin Haitang picked up Gu Mo all of a sudden. Gu Mo was very excited. He stared at Lin Haitang with bright eyes and hugged Lin Haitang's neck tightly with his hands.

"Dad! Mom!" Gu Zhilan was not to be outdone. She jumped directly onto Gu An, who lifted her up with a smile.

Gu Zhilan sat on her father's arm, looking at Gu Mo who was being held by her mother, and said excitedly: "Brother! I'm taller than you!"

Xiaobai also came over and rubbed Lin Haitang's legs, sticking out his big tongue and panting quickly, like a dog.

Gu Mo looked at his sister who was taller than him, and said to Gu An, "Dad! Can you pick me up too?"

Gu An raised his eyebrows and without saying a word, he picked up Gu Mo. The two children were held in his arms, one on each side.

"Dad is so awesome!" Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan applauded excitedly.

The strawberries in the space were growing well. Lin Haitang picked one and put it in her mouth. When she looked up, she saw Liu Wanwan running towards her. She was startled and said, "Oh my little ancestor, don't run so fast!"

After Liu Wanwan ran over, she said, "Sister, I didn't run, I just walked a little faster."

Lin Haitang and Liu Wanwan walked forward, talking and laughing, while Gu An followed slowly behind them, holding his two children, and he didn't look tired at all.

Zhao Xiangjun was feeding Gu Chen goat milk.

Lin Haitang leaned over to look at little Gu Chen. Looking at his fair and tender face, her heart softened.

"I want to tell you something." Seeing that everyone was there, Lin Haitang said, "The emperor asked me to go to the capital to receive my reward. Do you want to go with me, or go back to Hua'an County first?"

This news was indeed too sudden, and everyone looked at each other.

Liu Wanwan was the first to express her attitude: "Sister, I want to go to the capital with you. I haven't seen my parents for a long time. It's a good opportunity for me to go back and see them."

Liu Sanyou then said, "I'll follow my wife. Wherever she goes, I'll go."

Zhao Xiangjun patted the little Gu Chen in her arms and said, "I will follow Madam too. Wherever Madam is, I will be there."

Lin Haitang was very happy. Deep down, she wanted them to go with her. Now she had the title of princess and was going to the palace to receive the reward. Maybe she would stay in the capital and not go back.

"Okay! It's settled then." Lin Haitang smiled, unable to suppress her happy expression.

The little fox climbed onto Lin Haitang's shoulder the moment Lin Haitang sat down.

Lin Haitang touched the little fox's head and said, "Little fox, I haven't given you a name yet, right?"

"Sister-in-law, what do you usually call it?" Lin Haitang asked Zhao Xiangjun while stroking the little fox's fur.

Zhao Xiangjun answered very seriously: "We usually call it a fox."

"Hmm..." Lin Haitang pondered, looked at the little fox's fur, and said, "Then why not call me Xiaoli? You're used to hearing it anyway, okay?"

The little fox must have liked this name very much. He tilted his head and rubbed it in Lin Haitang's palm.

After coaxing Gu Chen to sleep in the space, Lin Haitang and Gu An left the space.

The spring night is very quiet, there is no wind, only the moon shining quietly.

Lin Haitang likes this kind of night very much. It is not dark, but a little bright and a little dark. People's shadows will be stretched very long under the moonlight, and so will the shadows of all things.

Looking at the moon through the window, the moon is divided into several small pieces by the window grilles.

"Gu An." Lin Haitang propped herself up and looked at Gu An. It was amazing that even without lighting a candle, she could clearly see the mole at the corner of Gu An's eye.

Gu An put his arm around Lin Haitang's shoulders and lay flat on the bed, his deep pupils staring into Lin Haitang's eyes.

"How about..." Lin Haitang uttered a few words slowly, which really made people feel warm: "How about you stop enduring it?"

Gu An's breathing stagnated. He did not move. After a moment, he asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Lin Haitang nodded, her cheeks a little hot, and she rested her chin on Gu An's chest.

Gu An no longer hesitated. He rolled over and pressed the man under him. He asked in a low, hoarse voice, "Why do you say that suddenly?"

Lin Haitang turned her head away, her fingers tugging at the bed sheet nervously, her breathing a little disordered, and said, "We originally said we'd talk about it after we get home, but now we have to go to the capital, so you'll have to wait another two months."

"I'm worried you'll get sick from holding it in." Lin Haitang spoke in a lower and lower voice, her eyes rolling around but she didn't look at Gu An.

Gu An chuckled again. He lowered his head and pressed it against Lin Haitang. Naturally, he could feel Lin Haitang's heartbeat. He said in a hoarse voice, "Are you nervous?"

"Of course I'm nervous. It's my first time." Lin Haitang admitted it quickly and even wanted to kick Gu An.

Lin Haitang had never been in love before. No, Lin Haitang remembered that she had been in love before, when she was in the third grade of junior high school, but they only held hands.

After hearing Lin Haitang's words, Gu An's breathing became heavier and he used a little more force in his hands.

Lin Haitang trembled all over and stretched out her hands to tightly grasp Gu An's back.

The next day, Lin Haitang couldn't get out of bed.

It was not until noon that Lin Haitang slowly woke up.

"Cough cough..."

Lin Haitang cleared her throat and felt a sharp pain in it. She sat up with a grimace in her teeth, and the pain in her body became even worse.

Gu An was not in the room. If he was, Lin Haitang would probably punch him twice.

After sitting for a while, Lin Haitang felt that her lower body was less sore, and she slowly got off the bed.

It felt like he was run over by a huge truck.

Lin Haitang put on his clothes with a gloomy face, then ran to the table and poured himself a large glass of water.

Crunch

It’s Gu An who’s back.

The moment she saw Gu An, Lin Haitang's face turned black and she threw the cup in her hand over to him.

Gu An reacted very quickly and caught the cup with his hand.

"God damn it," Lin Haitang stared at Gu An and gritted her teeth, "I'm going to kill you!"

Gu An had a smile on his face and was in an unusually good mood. He walked to Lin Haitang, bent down and picked her up horizontally.

"Are you feeling unwell? Can I bring you some food?" Gu An put her on the bed and kissed her forehead gently.

Lin Haitang was already angry, and when she saw Gu An so relaxed and happy, she became even angrier: Why was he so comfortable while she felt pain in her legs even when she walked?!

"I told you yesterday that I didn't want it anymore, why didn't you stop?" Lin Haitang questioned Gu An.

Gu An raised his hands and begged for mercy, saying, "I was wrong. I will listen to you next time."

Lin Haitang sneered: "You still want to have another chance? You wish!"

Gu An grabbed Lin Haitang's hand and said, "Tangtang, I will definitely perform well next time."

Gu An didn't want Lin Haitang to resist this matter, otherwise he would have a hard time in the future.

Lin Haitang's stomach growled. She stared at it for two seconds and said, "You...last night..."

Lin Haitang recalled it, her face darkened instantly, and she said, "Gu An, if I get pregnant again, just wait for me, I'll chop you with a knife!"

In the blink of an eye, Lin Haitang jumped up and went to get some contraceptive pills for herself.

"Go get me some food quickly, I'm starving!" Lin Haitang turned around and said to Gu An, then walked out the door directly.

After the meal, Lin Haitang felt much better. The contraceptive soup was ready. After it cooled down a little, Lin Haitang pinched her nose and drank it in one breath.

Lin Haitang secretly prepared the contraceptive soup in her room. If her masters saw it, she felt that she would never have to face anyone again.

Gu An knew that contraceptive soup was harmful to the body. He watched Lin Haitang finish the whole bowl of contraceptive soup, feeling a little worried and guilty. He said, "Tangtang, I will pay attention next time."

Lin Haitang's tongue was irritated by the bitterness. She quickly ate a candy. When the bitterness subsided, she glanced at him and said, "If you don't pay attention, don't get on my bed in the future. I don't care anyway."

In the afternoon, Lin Haitang showed up at the temporary Imperial Medical Bureau on time to see patients, and Gu An was arranged by Lin Haitang to find a house outside.

Since the whole family is going with us, we can no longer let them live in the space. Otherwise, when we arrive in the capital, it will be difficult to explain why a large family suddenly appears out of nowhere.

After Gu An found a house, Lin Haitang found a time to release them from the space and said that they came from Hua'an County to find Lin Haitang and Gu An after learning that the situation in Zhanglin County had stabilized.

There are many people in the family, so the house cannot be too small. Moreover, they will be leaving for the capital in about half a month. Even if they rent a house, no one will rent it for such a short time. However, staying in an inn would not be so convenient. Lin Haitang and Gu An still want to find a house to rent, even if they have to pay a few more months of rent.

Lin Haitang had lunch with the old gentlemen this afternoon. Gu An was outside looking at houses and had not returned yet.

"Girl, where is Xiao Gu?" Shi Wei asked when he saw that only Lin Haitang came over.

"Oh, Gu An," Lin Haitang said, serving bowls of soup to the masters, "I asked him to go out and look for a house. My family has been away from us for too long, so they're going to the capital, and I want them to come with them. They'll be here in a few days."

Xie Ru heard this and said, "No need to look for a house, we can accommodate you here, girl, save as much money as you can."

Lin Haitang smiled and shook her head, saying, "Master, we have a big family. I have three children, four brothers and sisters, and a big dog, but it takes up a lot of space."

When the old men heard Lin Haitang say she had three children, they suddenly became interested and asked, "Three children? How old are they?"

"The eldest and the second are twins, a boy and a girl. They will be six years old this year. The third is a boy who is one and a half years old." Lin Haitang tore off a piece of steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth and answered.

"Girl, there is something I have wanted to ask you for a long time. Who did you learn this medical skill from?" Yang Zhiwen asked.

Lin Haitang had already thought of the answer to this question. She lied with her eyes open and said, "When I was a child, a beggar came to the village. I gave him my steamed bread, and he started to teach me about medicine. I didn't know his name, but he said his last name was Wu and asked me to call him Old Wutou."

"Is your master still alive?" Yang Zhiwen searched his mind but couldn't figure out who this old man Wu was.

Lin Haitang shook his head regretfully and said, "He has been dead for many years."

Yang Zhiwen also felt deeply regretful. He sighed and said, "What a pity! I was hoping to ask that old man for advice."

Lin Haitang lowered her head, not looking into Yang Zhiwen's eyes, and picked up the spoon to drink the porridge as if she didn't hear anything.

It was late in the evening when Gu An came back from outside.

Lin Haitang was washing clothes in the yard. She was too busy during the day and had no time, so she could only wash clothes at night.

"How is it, have you found the house?" Lin Haitang looked up and asked.

Gu An nodded and said, "I found it. It's not far from here. I'll take you there tomorrow. I've already paid."

Gu An rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let me wash it, you go and have a rest."

Lin Haitang made room and said, "I've already finished washing. Just wring out the water from the clothes. Hurry up, there's chicken soup I made for you in the room."

Gu An had a smile on his lips and a gentle look in his eyes as he watched Lin Haitang walk into the room.
