"My name is Ajiu? I'm your husband?"
Gu Qingcheng suppressed his entanglement with Huoshui and exquisitely portrayed a poor young man with amnesia.
"He" was originally confused and helpless, but after knowing his "identity", he seemed to feel a little more at ease.
There was also a bit more trust in the way "he" looked at Wu Yanniang.
Gu Qingcheng is now like a chick that has just hatched from its shell, treating the first person she sees as her closest relative.
Not to mention, this person claimed to be his wife.
The relationship between husband and wife is one of the closest in the world.
There is no blood relationship, but there are bonds given by law and morality.
"Yes! Your name is Ajiu, and your last name is Dong!"
When Wu Yanniang said that just now, it was just an impulse.
Her mouth moves faster than her brain.
By the time she reacted, she realized that she had already told a lie.
Her heart was pounding.
The hands holding the bowl were shaking slightly.
She was afraid that her words would not be able to deceive this beautiful boy.
If he doubted her, not only would she not be able to become his wife, but even the grace of saving her life would be erased.
Even if they can't be husband and wife, she can get some compensation for saving her life.
oops!
I was really confused just now.
How dare you say anything out loud?
yes!
The young man in front of him was indeed extremely handsome, and he was wearing clothes embroidered with gold thread. At first glance, he was obviously a young man from a wealthy family.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will be a noble man that a country girl like Wu Yanniang would never be able to meet in her lifetime.
But you can't just talk nonsense just because you have thoughts that you shouldn't have.
Just when Wu Yanniang was feeling flustered and annoyed, she heard Gu Qingcheng's words and saw "his" dependent eyes.
Huh?
He believed it!
Does this mean that I, I succeeded?
Wu Yanniang's heart beat faster and faster.
Her mouth was dry, and she swallowed hurriedly, nodding vigorously, "Yes! Your last name is Dong, and your name is Ajiu!"
Perhaps because she had told a lie and had already crossed the moral bottom line, Wu Yanniang became more and more calm.
As she spoke, she put down the bowl and took out a jade pendant from her bosom, "Here, look! This is the betrothal gift you gave me!"
"It is said that this is a treasure heirloom from your family, and your surname is on it?"
As Wu Yanniang spoke, she had already come in front of Gu Qingcheng.
She brought the jade pendant to Gu Qingcheng, pointed at a seal-shaped character on it and said, "It's the word 'Dong'."
Gu Qingcheng remained calm and continued to play the role of the amnesiac boy, "Yes! This is the character Dong! So, my last name is really Dong, and my name is Ah Jiu?"
Seeing that the young man truly believed in her, Wu Yanniang felt more confident.
She was secretly glad in her heart: Fortunately, in the evening, I went down the mountain and asked the village teacher about this jade pendant.
Wu Yanniang's original intention was to ask whether this thing was valuable.
She hadn't thought of cheating at that time.
She just felt that the young man had nothing valuable on him except this jade pendant.
I saved him, so even if I don't expect anything in return, I can't pay for his medical expenses, food expenses, etc.
If the boy's condition worsened and he needed to see a doctor or buy medicine, she would pawn the jade pendant.
I heard that the teacher of the private school at the foot of the mountain was a scholar from the city.
It’s hard to say whether he is a big shot or not, but he is someone who has truly seen the world.
Wu Yanniang felt that he should recognize this jade, and he would not say anything nonsense just to bargain!
As expected, the master told her, "This is top-quality mutton-fat white jade, of excellent texture and exquisite carving. This piece alone is worth a hundred strings of cash."
More than one hundred strings of cash?
My God, my father worked hard hunting for more than ten years, and even killed a fierce tiger before he died. Wu Yanniang sold the tiger skin, tiger bones, etc., and only got more than ten strings of money.
And that was the money my father earned at his own risk!
This young boy of unknown origin is only wearing a piece of jade, but it is worth so much money.
That’s right!
And the robe he was wearing, the embroidery thread looked golden, probably mixed with gold thread, so it should be very valuable!
"This jade pendant must be a family token! Look, there's even a surname on it!"
"That's the word, 'Dong'!"
The teacher was very thoughtful and pointed out the seal script to Wu Yanniang.
At that time, she really had no delusions.
She just wanted to wait for the boy to wake up, or for his condition to worsen, and then sell the jade pendant.
Wu Yanniang never expected that the boy woke up but couldn't even remember who he was.
Chance!
This is definitely her chance!
In a fit of rage, Wu Yanniang told this outrageous lie.
"Dong, Jiu!"
Gu Qingcheng seemed not to notice Wu Yanniang's nervousness, excitement, or secret joy. She held the jade pendant and muttered to herself.
If he didn't have the original owner's memory and knew that this jade pendant was actually a small item given to his son by Concubine Dong before leaving, he might have believed Wu Yanniang's words just by looking at her confident look.
This person is really not an ordinary village girl.
Look at the lie he told, it was well-reasoned and sound as if it were the truth.
There is a jade pendant with a surname on it. This is quite convincing for a young man who has lost his memory and is seriously injured!
"Jiulang, you were once the son of a wealthy family, but your family fell into poverty and was caught in the chaos of war, leaving you alone."
"I met you when I went to the city with my father to sell game. We met by chance several times and eventually became husband and wife."
