Chapter 283 Do you want more?
Cui'er received instructions and went to the courtyard where Master Gu was.
The morning light penetrated the clouds and illuminated the roof and courtyard little by little. Yuzhu spent the night on a recliner and woke up early.
She got up and went outside to wash up. When she returned to the room, she found that Gu Yuanjia had also woken up.
Yuzhu noticed that Master Gu's Adam's apple moved slightly, and asked him softly, "Are you thirsty?"
Gu Yuanjia nodded slightly.
Yuzhu walked to the table, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of warm water, brought it to the couch, fed it to Gu Yuanjia, and asked him, "Do you want more?"
Gu Yuanjia said hoarsely: "Not necessary for now."
Yuzhu said, "It's still early, and breakfast isn't ready in the kitchen yet. If you're hungry, I'll get you something to eat."
Gu Yuanjia said, "I'm not hungry."
"Is it the wound that hurts?" Yuzhu thought, she shouldn't have woken up so early.
Gu Yuanjia didn't say anything.
Yuzhu knew that it was the pain of the wound.
"I'll get a doctor to check your injuries." Yuzhu said as she walked out.
"Yuzhu." Gu Yuanjia called her.
Yuzhu turned and looked at Master Gu, "Master, do you have any other instructions?"
The morning light illuminated the courtyard. Yuzhu was the only one in the huge house. Gu Yuanjia seemed to have returned to a few years ago.
At that time, he was the leisurely eldest son of the Gu family, and Yuzhu was a little maid who was deeply in his heart.
The world is bustling with people coming and going for profit, but it has nothing to do with them.
Gu Yuanjia looked at Yuzhu and was stunned for a moment.
Yuzhu waited for a long time, but Master Gu didn't speak. She turned back to the bed and went to see Gu Yuanjia. "Are you okay?"
"Nothing serious is happening." Gu Yuanjia whispered, "Don't bother the doctor. It's boring to lie in bed all day recovering from injuries. Can you help me find two books to read?"
Yuzhu frowned slightly and said, "The imperial physician said you need to rest. How can you rest if you're tired from reading?"
Gu Yuanjia liked the way Yuzhu was thinking about him, and his thin lips lifted slightly unconsciously. "I'm not trying to delve into academics. Just find me a couple of books to read, travelogues or novels will do."
Yuzhu still felt something was wrong. "How can you read if you can only lie down?"
"Then I won't read it." Gu Yuanjia said, "Can you read it to me?"
Yuzhu can read. When she worked as a maid in the Gu family, she mostly did chores in the study, grinding ink, adding incense, mixing colors and making incense. Sometimes she also read some interesting miscellaneous books to the tired Master Gu.
But when I think back on those things from the past now, it seems like a lifetime ago.
Yuzhu didn't respond immediately.
Gu Yuanjia waited for a moment before speaking again: "It's already very troublesome for you to take care of me, and I really shouldn't ask you to keep accommodating me..."
"Mr. Gu, you're too kind. Reading a few pages of a book isn't a big deal. You don't have to be so serious." Yuzhu couldn't bear to hear Gu Yuanjia talking like that, so she said immediately, "Wait, I'll go find some travelogues."
As she said this, she was about to walk out.
Gu Yuanjia's smile deepened, and he immediately said, "You don't have to look elsewhere, I have it in my house."
Others might be surprised that someone like Mr. Gu would also read idle books?
But Yuzhu knew Gu Yuanjia better than anyone else. She turned to look at him and asked, "Where?"
Gu Yuanjia said, "It's on the left bookshelf, fourth shelf, far left."
Yuzhu looked for it as Master Gu had instructed, and soon found several travel notes and storybooks on the bookshelf.
The storybook was full of love stories between men and women. Yuzhu felt it was inappropriate for her to read these to Gu Yuanjia, so she put it back.
She came to the couch with a few travel books, opened one of them and read it to Gu Yuanjia.
"Sit down and read." Gu Yuanjia narrowed his fox eyes, "You are blocking my light."
Yuzhu paused, sat down on the couch and began to read the travel notes.
Yuzhu likes reading travelogues very much and has thought that the world is so big that she wants to travel everywhere.
Unfortunately, when she was young, in order to pay for her mother's medical treatment, she had to sell herself into slavery and became a maid in the Gu family.
After much difficulty in saving up enough silver, he counted the days to redeem himself and restore his good status. He was looking forward to visiting famous mountains and rivers, but he also had a crazy night with the drunk Gu Yuanjia and had thoughts of Er.
Fate always likes to play jokes on people.
Now Yuzhu only wants to raise Nian'er well and live a peaceful and tranquil life.
But she never imagined that she would be so close to Gu Yuanjia in this life.
Yuzhu tried her best to put aside all distractions and concentrate on reading the contents of the travel notes.
Her voice was gentle, and she was very engrossed in reading. Gu Yuanjia had actually read these travel notes before, but listening to Yuzhu reading them now was a completely different experience.
He knew that Yuzhu yearned for the world outside the mansion and wanted to see the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas. He had also thought about taking her to travel all over the world.
But changes always happen faster than planned.
Gu Yuanjia looked at Yuzhu who was sitting beside the couch with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Yuzhu's eyes fell on the travel notes, and she gently turned over page after page.
When Cui'er came to this courtyard, she stood in the yard and saw this scene through the small window.
Cui Er couldn't bear to break such a beautiful scene. She stood outside for a long time before she raised her hand and gently knocked on the window, calling softly, "Sister Yuzhu."
Yuzhu didn't hear it at first. She was immersed in the world of travel notes and continued to turn the pages.
It was Gu Yuanjia who reminded her: "Someone is looking for you outside the door."
"Who?" Yuzhu put down her travel notes, stood up and looked out the door and windows.
"Sister Yuzhu, it's me, Cui'er." Cui'er said, "The princess sent me to ask if you are free to go to the Song residence to attend Miss Song's coming-of-age banquet."
Yuzhu was good friends with Song Wan'er, so naturally she wanted to go, but she also knew that Gu Yuanjia was seriously injured and couldn't leave home without someone.
She did not answer Cui'er immediately, but turned to look at Mr. Gu.
After hesitating for a moment, Yuzhu finally said, "I've prepared a small gift for Wan'er. It's in a mahogany box on my dressing table. Please take it to her. As for the coming-of-age banquet, I'll..."
"If you want to go, go." Gu Yuanjia said at this time: "Just come back early."
Master Gu knew that Yuzhu didn't have many friends, and Song Wan'er was extremely important to her.
Princess Chang'an and Princess Thirteen both attended the Song family's coming-of-age ceremony, but she was the only one absent, which was always a pity.
What's more, Gu Yuanjia didn't want Yuzhu to have any regrets because of him.
Yuzhu was still a little hesitant, "But..."
Gu Yuanjia whispered, "If you really can't bear to leave me, it would be better if you don't go."
Cui'er, who was standing outside the window, couldn't hear clearly, but Yuzhu, who was standing beside the couch, could hear it clearly.
"What are you talking about, Master Gu? Who can't bear to leave you?" Yuzhu was confused when she heard this. She immediately said, "I'm going to the Song residence for a banquet. You should lie down and recuperate."
Seeing Gu Yuanjia about to speak, she immediately added, "Talk less, or better yet, don't speak at all."
Gu Yuanjia smiled, called out "Yuzhu," and said to her, "Come back soon."
