Chapter 205: Private Meeting
When the holy decree of marriage was finally sealed, in Qinghe County, Ning Zhiyuan was sitting in a private room in a teahouse. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He was waiting for Gu Qingwei.
In fact, he didn't know if Gu Qingwei would come, he just hoped that she would come, which was why he waited so uneasily.
Since knowing that Chu Chengqi wrote a letter back to Beijing to ask Concubine Liu Xian to help him ask for marriage, Ning Zhiyuan hadn't slept for several days, and at this moment he was wearing the clothes that had been smoked with Jialuo incense, although his body was quite neat, but his face was full of stubble, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely haggard.
If in the past he could still be said to be a young man, then today he looks at least ten years older.
As soon as he got the news from Chu Chengqi that day, Ning Zhiyuan immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the capital quickly using the special channel of Jinyiwei to transmit the news.
He actually didn't know if his letter could be delivered to the eldest princess of Anping before Concubine Liu Xian's action, but no matter what, he couldn't do nothing.
In fact, if he could stop this matter by rushing back in person, Ning Zhiyuan would definitely rush back to the capital as quickly as possible.
As soon as the letter was sent, Ning Zhiyuan had been looking forward to the reply from the capital, because he was worried that Emperor Yuanchang would really be told by Concubine Liu Xian to give Chu Chengqi and Gu Qingwei a marriage, he was worried and angry these days, and his temper was extremely irritable, and even Chu Chengqi, the prince, was taught a hard lesson by him several times.
So many things were made by Chu Chengqi, as long as Ning Zhiyuan thought of this, he could only relieve his hatred a little when he repaired Chu Chengqi.
After waiting for so many days in a row, calculating whether the things in the capital were good or bad, there should have been a conclusion in the past two days, Ning Zhiyuan couldn't hold back the desire in his heart to see Gu Qingwei, and asked people to go to Gu's house to send a letter.
The time on the letter was set at the beginning, but Ning Zhiyuan waited in this private room after breakfast, and it took several hours to wait.
If he hadn't given enough money, I was afraid that the shopkeeper of this teahouse would have come to drive people away.
During the time of waiting, thinking about the affairs of the capital, Ning Zhiyuan was powerless for a while.
In his previous life, he had suffered this kind of setback, he became famous as a young man, and then he took charge of the brocade clothes guard, and continued the Dingguo Mansion from his father safely, and after the prince ascended the throne, he was regarded as a confidant.
Although there is a reason why this incident is too sudden, if his ability is stronger and he thinks it more thoroughly, there will be no situation where he can only wait.
With these churning in his heart, Ning Zhiyuan was both anxious and a little frustrated.
What Gu Qing saw when he pushed the door open was Ning Zhiyuan's hands in his hair, burying his head in the crook of his elbow.
Even if she had lived with Ning Zhiyuan all her life in her previous life, she had seen him like this a few times.
Since Chu Chengqi left the Gu family, in the past few days, Ning Zhiyuan has secretly asked people to pass some small notes to her, Gu Qing did not estimate that he racked his brains to say those comforting words.
Gu Qing was not moved so easily, and the reason why she was invited to this teahouse was not because of this.
Seeing that Ning Zhiyuan heard the sound of opening the door, Gu Qingwei was slightly stunned by the haggard look on his face, but then he recovered, raised his feet and was about to go to the elegant room.
"Girl......" The picture screen that came with Gu Qingwei whispered a little disapprovingly.
Huaping has a gentle temperament, but compared to Qiu Lan, she is more disciplined.
The girl went out to see Ning Shizi this time, but she didn't have the old lady and the eldest lady, in other words, the girl and Ning Shizi were having a private meeting!
If outsiders know about it, what will the girl's reputation have?
Although the painting screen is just a maid, but after so many years in the Gu family, she knows everything she should know, so she knows that her words may not have much weight to Gu Qing's future, but she still can't help but stop it.
Gu Qingwei looked at the disapproval on her face, and she also knew that she was protecting her, so she shook her head gently, "It's okay." ”
Then he ordered the picture screen to stay outside, and he went into the private room.
When only Ning Zhiyuan and Gu Qingwei were left in this elegant room, Ning Zhiyuan patted his body a little crampedly, and then said, "You are here." ”
If he could, Ning Zhiyuan didn't want Gu Qing to see him so sloppy, but he had been too tormented in the past few days, and now this is the result of careful attention for a long time this morning.
Gu Qingwei sat opposite Ning Zhiyuan, and poured himself a cup of hot tea very leisurely, "I'm here, what do you want to say to me?"
Xu is Gu Qingwei's appearance was too meaningless, which made Ning Zhiyuan a little surprised.
He thought that even if Gu Qingwei was not heartbroken when he learned that he might marry Chu Chengqi, he would definitely not think about getting thinner and thinner, but now it seems that Gu Qingwei is even calmer than him?
"You ......"
Ning Zhiyuan had a thousand words in his heart, but when the words came to his mouth, he only spit out such a word.
Gu Qingwei took a sip of hot tea, and then took the pastel porcelain cup in his hand and played with it.
Although there may be a turning point in the matter of giving marriage to Gu Jinyuan last time, after all these days, she has actually faintly accepted the fact that she may marry Chu Chengqi, and because of this, when she looks at Ning Zhiyuan again, the boredom brought from her previous life is less.
If she really wants to marry Chu Chengqi, then she and Ning Zhiyuan will no longer have anything to do with her, and those entanglements in her previous life will naturally have no meaning to her.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that she is a little more lenient towards Ning Zhiyuan, and when she is invited by Ning Zhiyuan this time, she will gladly agree.
It's like, a burden that has been hanging in my heart for a long time suddenly let go, relaxed at the same time, but faintly a little lost.
Gu Qingwei's mood is probably like this now.
Seeing that Ning Zhiyuan didn't speak for a long time, she drank all the tea in the cup and said, "Ning Shizi has anything to say, in the end, I am also a woman, so I have a private meeting with a foreign man, if I am looked down upon by others, my reputation will ......."
Halfway through the words, thinking of the possible marriage, Gu Qingwei's red lips hooked slightly, "That's right, reputation is of little use to me now." ”
Inexplicably, Ning Zhiyuan's ears were slightly red because of the word "private meeting", but when Gu Qingwei said this, his face, which was already a little dull because he had not rested well, sank even more, "Seventh girl, how important reputation is to women, how can you not take your own reputation seriously?"
The face that was originally a little weak because of its fair skin sank like this, but it also faintly had a bit of a black-faced appearance. (To be continued.) )
