Chapter 152: Ask Jun Ran otherwise
"Why don't you let Qing Ning go directly to the table......? Oh, I see, are you afraid that Yin Jiheng will be suspicious?"
After knowing the movements of the imperial court, Jiang Hechuan came to Sangu to discuss matters, and occasionally had this question.
Gu Qingxuan had a pile of red paper in front of him, and he was writing a wedding card.
The marriage between Gu Qingfeng and the county lord of Chengshuo is approaching, and the wedding card of the Jin Wangfu has been sent out, and their Gu family is not too late.
Jiang Hechuan has just experienced marrying a daughter, and he is familiar with all kinds of matters related to happy events and wedding banquets, so he often comes to help the Gu family manage these things.
Gu Qingxuan said: "I still have to prevent him from being suspicious, if he does it too conspicuously, it will not be good for Qing Ning." We don't fight for great success, so let's let the two Si Cheng adults enjoy it. ”
Jiang Hechuan helped him stamp his family seal, and said with a smile: "Come on, the final great success, isn't it all yours?"
The two brothers of the Gu family went home to decorate the mansion after the dispersal, after all, they were marrying the county lord, and the mansion was not easy to be simple, what should be decorated still could not be saved, they were running inside and out, Gu Qingfeng would only jump up and down and not help Even if it was good, it was still necessary to let Gu Qinghuan worry about it.
At this moment, the two of them hung red lanterns in front of the study, the two elders discussed the wedding banquet in the study, and the Gu Mansion was busy inside and out, only Gu Qingning was nowhere to be seen.
It's getting late, and she is still adding value to the official office to make pictures, and she is doing her best to build a dangerous secret room, and she has no time to meddle in the happy events at home.
In fact, she didn't want to care about this matter from the bottom of her heart.
Don't even want to face the fact that this thing is coming.
You can only numb yourself with busyness.
……
After hanging the lantern and resting for a while, Gu Qingfeng leaned on the beam and joked to Gu Qinghuan: "It's really an honor to have Gu Shangshu help hang the lantern." ”
Or because there were too many movements just now, and the body was unbearable, and now he felt a little breathless, Gu Qinghuan glanced at Gu Qingfeng: "I'm about to get married, and I haven't got a positive shape yet." ”
After speaking, he remembered that he hadn't taken the medicine tonight, so he sat under the porch, asked the maid on the side to bring water, he took out the vial in his arms, poured out the pill and took it.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng suddenly became a little nervous, and asked, "Brother, what kind of medicine are you taking?"
He smiled and replied: "It's nothing, it's just a general tonic, and I've been so busy lately that my body has become weak." ”
Gu Qingfeng jumped off the beam, a little hesitant, and came to his side and said, "This gourd vial of your medicine is quite chic, who gave it away?"
Gu Qinghuan replied casually: "Miss He, this medicine was given to me by her sister-in-law." Speaking of this, I couldn't help but think of Mrs. He's illness, and my heart was a little sad, and I stared at the bottle for a while.
Gu Qingfeng also looked at the bottle and said, "Brother, I didn't say it, then Miss He is really good to you, and she cares about you." I heard that she is also very good and has saved you? I really want to learn from her...... Eh, if she were my sister-in-law, it would be good, what do you say?"
"Huh?" Gu Qinghuan didn't care about his previous muttering, but this last sentence made Gu Qinghuan really embarrassed, and he chattered in pieces: "Don't talk nonsense, let's worry about your own business first...... I don't know who it was, and I stayed in the palace all night...... I don't know what to do, I'm really bold enough......"
Gu Qingfeng seemed to remember something, and unconsciously turned red in his ears, and was a little panicked in front of his brother, "I, I, I ......"
Gu Qinghuan got up proudly, got up and looked at the gift boxes piled up under the corridor: "What are you? Are you still embarrassed? Anyway, in my father's opinion, you are more powerful, he said, the inheritance of the Gu family depends on you, just give me up, you can go." ”
Gu Qingfeng didn't know why, he only laughed a few times, and then sat down on the side, leaning on the fence and sitting with his legs curled, becoming extremely silent.
Tang Bolai passed that dinner was ready, and the brothers called Gu Qingxuan and Jiang Hechuan in the study to go to the main hall to eat together, and walked all the way, the corridor was red and colorful, and the glory was swaggering, and what they saw in their eyes was completely different from the usual Gu Mansion.
Only the lantern on the corridor was not replaced with a red light, and it was not abrupt at all.
This is the first time since Shen Lanxi's death that the Gu family has had such a grand happy event.
Her youngest and most distressed son is about to start a family.
Gu Qingxuan raised his eyes all the way to look at the brocade lantern above his head, and at the corner, he glanced back at Gu Qingfeng who was following behind, and found that he was also looking upward......
New people, new things, new joys, no return to the old.
……
After dinner, Gu Qingning still hadn't returned home, Gu Qingxuan asked Gu Qingfeng to go to the Ministry of Industry to have a look and pick up his sister early.
In the evening, the father and son of the Gu family and Jiang Hechuan were cooking tea in the study, Gu Qinghuan was susceptible to the cold, so he put on a thin coat at this time, and listened to his father and uncle while reading a book.
Uncle Tang, who had been outside, suddenly walked to the door with a happy face, and said to the three people inside: "Miss is here......
"Qingning is back?" Gu Qingxuan was a little surprised why Uncle Tang was so happy.
Tang Bo shook his head, his mouth was grinning, and he couldn't say anything happily, "No, it's Miss Xiange, Mrs. Yang." ”
He watched these two children grow up, and this was the first time Jiang Xiange came to the Gu family after getting married, so he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
The people in the study were also happy when they heard this, Jiang Hechuan heard that his daughter was coming and got up directly to greet him, Gu Qingxuan glanced at Gu Qinghuan and didn't say anything, and also got up to greet him.
Jiang Xian Song came suddenly, wearing a goose yellow embroidered cloak to the ground, a felt hat half-covered face, put down the hat, combed the woman's bun, inserted gold and jade steps to shake the pile of silk begonia flowers, virtuous and generous, and more coquettish.
"I've seen my father, my uncle. She entered the house to salute the elders and smiled at Gu Qinghuan.
They ushered her into a seat, and the elders were overjoyed to see her. She asked, "Why is my father here tonight?" I was going to come home to see you after I was here?"
Jiang Hechuan heard his daughter say that he was going to go back to visit him, not to mention how beautiful he was, but he deliberately put on a look of grievance on his face, and complained: "My daughter is married, and I will be alone, how lonely I am at home, don't you just run to your Uncle Gu all day long?"
Gu Qingxuan said: "Don't listen to your father's complaints, he is doing a big business now? How can he have boring leisure? If you can come to my Gu Mansion a few more times, we will still miss Pengsheng." ”
Jiang Xiange was amused by the two elders, washed the leaves and made tea casually, and listened to Gu Qingxuan ask: "Why did Xiange come tonight? Uncle thought that you had forgotten about our mother's family after you got married." ”
"How can there be ......" She listened to his voice, her hand shook and almost spilled hot water on the back of her hand, put down the teapot, looked up and replied, "Uncle also made fun of string songs." I'm here to see you tonight, Chang'an City seems to be in turmoil recently, and I heard that many officials have been attacked, and I think of you, uncle...... The family is an official, and it is inevitable that there is some uneasiness in my heart, and I always want to come and see it to put my mind at ease......"
Hearing her speak, the other three people present looked at each other and laughed together.
Jiang Xiange saw this, and immediately understood, and pouted: "It seems that my worries are really unnecessary." ”
Everyone laughed, they all knew it, and they didn't say anything anymore, Jiang Xiange seemed to be deliberately not asking questions, and had the intention of staying out of the matter.
As he spoke, Jiang Xiange noticed Gu Qinghuan and asked strangely, "Is Qinghuan cold......? It's not so unbearable to stand the cold......"
As soon as she said this, Gu Qingxuan and Jiang Hechuan noticed this, while Gu Qinghuan was in a trance for a moment, and he didn't know what to think in his heart-
So she would pay so much attention to herself?
He only smiled and said unharmed: "It's nothing, maybe because it's cold this year, it's easy to feel cold." ”
Jiang Xiange looked at his complexion, as if he was still at ease, and pushed the first cup of hot tea that had been brewed and poured to him: "Take care of your body." ”
Gu Qinghuan was moved in his heart, nodded, took the cup to drink, and then asked, "It's so late, why don't you let Rong An accompany you here?"
The light wave in her eyes stagnated slightly, and she smiled indifferently: "He came home late today, and I don't want him to work hard, so let him rest early at home, and I can come to see my mother's family by myself." ”
Gu Qinghuan seemed to vaguely feel something, and he couldn't figure out his intuition for a while, so he only smiled: "Young Lady Yang is really virtuous." ”
"Qinghuan made fun of ......"
……
When the study was enjoying himself, Tang Bo ran to the door again, and pushed the door open directly in a panic, "My lord!
Gu Qingxuan hurriedly asked what was going on, and Tang Bo said: "Just now Chang'an ordered someone from the Yin Mansion to say that not long ago, a villain broke into the Ministry of Industry and wanted to do something wrong......!
Jiang Xiange was really frightened, and quickly stood up and asked, "Then what's wrong?"
Uncle Tang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Miss was almost injured by the villains, but fortunately, the second son and the patrol guards arrived to save the miss! But the drawings of the political hall stored by the Ministry of Industry were snatched away! Miss and Gongzi were taken to Chang'an to order the Yin Mansion to record the case, and let their people come over to inform the adults to know." ”
Hearing that Gu Qingning was fine, Jiang Xiange put his mind at ease, thought about it, and felt that it was wrong, afraid that he had overreacted again, so he turned his head to look at Gu Qingxuan.
Gu Qingxuan got up and said to Uncle Tang: "Okay, I know, I'll go and see it later." Uncle Tang, you should send the people from the Yin Mansion to leave first. ”
Seeing that his eyes were calm and waveless, Jiang Xiange was completely worried, and after Tang Bo left, she wanted to ask the truth, but she couldn't ask, so she could only sigh: "How can you make ......a game with yourself?
Gu Qingxuan only stroked his short beard and smiled: "Don't worry about string songs, don't you let Qingfeng go? Qingning won't be hurt." ”
After that, the father and son of the Gu family were all dressed in coats and ready to go out, and the father and daughter of the Jiang family were relieved to stay in the study and wait.
Gu Qingxuan and Gu Qinghuan rushed to Chang'an Lingyin Mansion by carriage and asked about the situation, and soon the Gu family sisters and brothers who had been recorded in the Records Division came out.
Gu Qingfeng helped Gu Qingning to walk towards them, Gu Qingning was beaten by the "gangsters" a few times in the struggle, the corners of his mouth were a little bruised, his forehead was swollen, and his legs were also injured.
This family is all officials, and no one dares to slack off the poor Chang'an Ling Yin Mansion, who is on duty at night, and he greets carefully inside and out, and he doesn't ask too much when recording the case, and secretly rejoices that Gu Qingning and Gu Qingfeng are humble and know everything, and they have never embarrassed them.
After saluting the deputy commander Yin and saying goodbye, the family of four got into two carriages, and Gu Qingfeng was speechless all the way.
Gu Qinghuan and Gu Qingning's carriage walked behind, he was concerned about his sister's injury, and couldn't help but tease: "Sister, you are really open-minded, this time you will suffer." But it hurts, doesn't it? Before we came, we promised you that you would be fine? ”
Gu Qingning was tired and leaned against the wall of the car, "Why can't I hear if you feel sorry for your sister and me, or if you feel sorry for Xiange?"
Gu Qinghuan choked up and was speechless, and then muttered: "I am sorry for your top boss Liu Yingsu Liu, I'm afraid he is sleeping peacefully now, and he never dreamed that something like this would happen tonight...... The pattern of the anti-danger secret room of the government hall kept in his public house was stolen in this way? The subordinate who happened to bump into the gangster and tried to retrieve the drawings was injured again...... How will he explain to the Prime Minister tomorrow? When people fall asleep at home, the black cauldron comes from the sky, and when they wake up, they should have a headache. ”
Gu Qingning was laughed at by his gloating appearance, rubbed his sore knee and said, "The drawings I handed over to him were lost in his public house, can you blame me?" Anyway, tomorrow I will go up to the court like this, see who can poke me in the head?"
"I calculated my boss, and I set a trap for Yin Jiheng, killing two birds with one stone, sister, you are ruthless!" Gu Qinghuan sighed, and looked at her now injured and pitiful appearance, and couldn't help but feel: "I can now be regarded as knowing the advantages of women being officials." ”
Gu Qingning glared at him: "What do you mean?"
Gu Qinghuan raised his eyebrows and said, "You guys are more distressing." Tears came to your eyes, look at who can blame you for that old man. ”
When Gu Qingning heard this, he immediately punched him, originally feigned anger, and taught him that he was unforgiving, and he didn't want to hit the jade gourd he was wearing on his chest, he was so hurt in his chest that he almost couldn't breathe.
Gu Qingning patted him on the back and looked at it, but he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Next time, let Miss He make you a silk lotus packaging pill, how awful this hard jade is in my heart." ”
……
In the carriage in front, Gu Qingxuan and Gu Qingfeng sat opposite each other, he saw that his youngest son had been keeping his head down and not saying a word, he felt a little strange, and he was suspicious, and asked, "What's wrong with Qingfeng......?
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Qingfeng, who was hanging his head, suddenly spoke, and said in a deep voice: "That's the martial arts of the Heluo Sword Sect......"
Gu Qingxuan was stunned, "What?
Gu Qingfeng raised his head and looked at his father with an indifferent expression: "Although those people are well disguised with their faces, even their martial arts are well disguised...... But when he fought with me, he was inadvertently forced out of his own move, which was the martial arts of the Heluo Sword Sect, which I was very familiar with...... And obviously show mercy to my sister's subordinates, otherwise I may not be able to save it...... Father, has Master come to Chang'an? Why don't I know?"
Gu Qingxuan saw the transparency in his eyes, and knew that it was useless to cover up, so he only said: "You're going to get married, why wouldn't he come to drink the wedding wine?" But he still has to arrive in a few days...... Those are the people he stayed in Chang'an a long time ago to help us in our affairs......"
"So Master, including our Heluo Sword Sect...... It's been in his father's camp for a long time?" he felt that he couldn't bear it, and his worries were even heavier.
Gu Qingxuan didn't answer directly, but acquiesced, and said, "There are some things that my father needs to rely on your master's strength and needs the help of the people of the rivers and lakes...... And your master, your Heluo Sword Sect sometimes also needs to rely on the power in Chang'an City to grow...... Don't forget, your master is not only a Jianghu person, but also a businessman. ”
Gu Qingfeng's nose was sour, and his heart was blocked and uncomfortable: "I see, it's ......"
Gu Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, looked directly into his son's eyes with serious and passionate eyes, showed this side in front of him for the first time, and said sonorously: "Only when we join hands can we go a long way and realize the grand wish in our hearts! For this reason, there are some things we have to do." ”
Gu Qingfeng smiled bitterly, there was an obvious hoarse cry in his tone, and asked, "Then dare to ask my father how far he has to go? If there is a quagmire and abyss ahead, can he turn back?"
Gu Qingxuan was shocked by his gaze and words, but his heart became more and more flames, the stars were burning and out of control, he pressed Gu Qingfeng's shoulders and said, "No, nothing can make us turn back!"
……
After returning home, Jiang Xiange saw that Gu Qingning's injury was really distressed, and gave her medicine to treat her, the two sisters had not spoken well for a long time, Jiang Xiange asked people to bring words back to Yang's Mansion, she stayed in Gu Mansion tonight and came back tomorrow, and the sisters lay down together that night and talked heart-to-heart.
Gu Qingning cared about her after marriage, and asked her, "Are you okay in the new mansion?" What is it like to change from the eldest lady to a lady who takes care of the whole mansion......" Gu Qingning knocked his chin on her shoulder and lay down against her.
Jiang Xiange looked at the top of the bed and gauze tent with his eyes, in a chaos, in fact, he couldn't see anything, holding Gu Qingning with one hand and stroking her face: "Actually, there hasn't changed much, Rong An is afraid that I will be tired, and the trivial things in the house will be handed over to the housekeeper to take care of, I will help, and I will go to the mansion every few days to ask my in-laws for peace, his sister is still young, and she is easy to get along with, and she often comes to our house to play and be my companion......"
"You still go to Dafu often? Yang Longxing didn't embarrass you, did you? You also know his ......."
She shook her head: "No, he is still very good in front of us elders, especially to Rong An, after all, he is the only son, he is careful about everything, and the things he gives to our house are also the best...... It's good, it's really good. ”
Gu Qingning raised his palm, lay on his side, supported his head, looked at her string song through the dim moonlight, and smiled: "I believed it when you said it was good the first time, and I didn't believe it the second time." String Song, what's wrong? Isn't there something going on?"
She looked at Gu Qingning's pitying gaze, and the vast points of light in her eyes flickered and disappeared, and she breathed a long sigh of relief, "I...... He and I still haven't had a relationship......"
