The moon stars are scarce, the autumn breeze is bleak, there is a bamboo forest on the shore of Weiyang Lake in the north of the city, there is a pavilion called Leisurely Pavilion in the forest three miles, there are few people here, originally this small pavilion has been dilapidated, and later found by Lu Yuanzhi and Gu Qingning, they were the age of cardamom at that time, and they were warned at home that it was inconvenient to come and go in the face, so they often met in this pavilion to meet in this pavilion, and renovated this leisurely pavilion, which is an elegant place. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Unconsciously, it's been more than a year since they last came here.

When the bright moon was on the willow tops, Lu Yuanze came with a lamp, walked through the forest path, saw the lanterns hanging in the pavilion from afar, lit a few bright candles, and a green Yi shadow stood in the pavilion, leaning on the stone pillar, looking up at the moon, the wind blowing the green silk, adding endless loneliness.

"Qingning......" he walked outside the pavilion and called her name softly.

When she heard this, she turned back in an instant, and with tears in her eyes, she stepped down the stairs and threw herself into his arms. Lu Yuanze's heart trembled, and he suddenly became sour, threw away the lamp, and hugged her tightly: "Qingning, I'm sorry ......."

She put her fingers on his lips and shook her head with tears: "No, don't say I'm sorry. ”

She wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned into his arms, crying wordlessly. Lu Yuanze kissed her forehead and eyebrows, and saw that she was haggard and thinned a lot, and he was doubly distressed.

"I know what you're seeing me for, I know it, I deliberately told your sister that I wouldn't attend your wedding because I wanted to see you, and I knew you would come ......"

"You want to see me?" he wondered, "Don't you hate me?"

She punched him and said, "I hate you, of course I hate you! But Lu Yuanze, you can be ruthless, but I Gu Qingning can't! I know what it means for my family to appear at your wedding banquet at this juncture! If you want to clear up the rumors, I will help you! Why not become the laughing stock of others?"

Lu Yuanze's heart shook, "Isn't it really ...... The rumors you're spreading?"

Gu Qingning was startled, as if someone had slashed him with a dagger, he pushed him away violently, and asked with tears: "What? You actually suspect that it is us? What good will it do me for me to release rumors? Why am I so infamous and being pointed out by others now? Is it not because of these rumors? Do you even think that we did it on purpose? Lu Yuanze, Lu Yuanze, you yourself are shameless! You still speculate about us like this!"

He was distraught, and hurriedly said: "No, Qingning, we misunderstood, after all, only our two families know about those things, this rumor is prominent, and we are not allowed to doubt it......"

"Only our two families know?" she complained sharply: "Are you sure that only our closest relatives know? We have been friends for so many years, and we have frequent contacts, no matter how secret we are, it is inevitable that people will be noticed, not to mention that there are so many people in your Lu family's mansion, from the back gate guard to the back garden manager, who doesn't know it? And the last time I went in directly from the main gate to see you, so many people saw it! Are you sure there are no people who have many hearts? You still think that you have always kept it a good secret, right?"

When she said this, Lu Yuanze also agreed, thinking that it might not be the Gu family, and comforted: "Qingning, don't be angry, I don't mean to be suspicious, it's just that the situation is special now, so I have to be careful." Our Lu family is sorry for you, so it is inevitable that we will be weak-hearted, so we will speculate. ”

Gu Qingning eased up, calmed down his anger, turned his back, and said, "It's true that you're sorry for me, but in fact, I also have a place where I don't live for you, I just want to ...... when I see you today."

Lu Yuanze thought she was angry, took her hand and said, "What's the matter?

Gu Qingning shook his hands back, lowered his eyebrows, and said, "Haven't you noticed it yet?" The Guanghe Palace sample map I drew for you is wrong. ”

Lu Yuanze was shocked: "What? But Guanghe Palace is halfway built! Qingning, don't scare me, this matter is not trivial!"

Gu Qingning said: "I also found out later that there are a few structures that cannot be realized at all, and now only half of the construction is not visible, but if the roof beam is added in the future, there will be a big problem, if it is built according to the original plan, then the Guanghe Palace will inevitably collapse in less than a year." I drew the drawing, I was clear, the people in the engineering department couldn't see that it was natural, and I found my mistake after repeated study......"

Lu Yuanze was incredulous, and said angrily: "Qingning, are you deliberately harming me?"

Gu Qingning shook off his hand and said angrily: "Are you still suspicious? If I really wanted to harm you, I wouldn't tell you now! I will wait for the construction of Guanghe Palace to finish before ridiculing you! But I didn't!"

"In other words, it's still too late to make amends?" he asked urgently.

She nodded with a cold face: "Yes." ”

"Then tell me how to modify the drawings?"

She shook her head: "It's useless to just modify the drawings, the palace has been halfway built, the basic framework has been completed, and then it's useless to look at the drawings, only by looking at the facts and making adjustments and modifications can be completely corrected, even if I don't look at the facts now, I can't point out how to adjust the specifics...... And most importantly, if you blatantly correct it, it is equivalent to admitting that you are wrong, and then the blame is on you......"

Lu Yuanze was really anxious, and took her hand again: "Then Qingning, tell me what to do?"

She looked up and met his eyes: "Let me enter the Ministry of Works." ”

"What? This can't be, how can you be an official if you're a woman?" he wondered.

Gu Qingning didn't think so, got closer to him, and looked at him with a smile: "How is it impossible? Which article in the law of Daqi says that women are not allowed to be officials? Besides, I don't want to be an official, I just want to enter the Ministry of Industry as a temporary counselor, and then quit after helping you correct your mistakes, the counselor is an alternate title, and most of the construction counselors of the Ministry of Industry are from the people, so many as a cow's hair, who cares if there is one more me? Otherwise, do you have any other good way?"

Lu Yuanze was uneasy and hesitated: "But I'm still worried...... If I recommend you to the Ministry of Works, you will be suspicious, and my father will not approve of it......"

"Do you still dare to let him know?" she smiled bitterly: "This kind of mistake is very important, if you don't correct it, you will lead to the destruction of the first Heavenly Treasure Hall built by the new emperor after he ascended the throne, such a mistake, you still dare to let your father know?

He was stunned, and spoke slowly: "Qingning, you're not deliberately earning me, are you?"

Gu Qingning shrugged his shoulders and chuckled: "If you don't believe it, go and look at the drawings again, I estimate the construction process, and you will be able to notice something strange in a few days." ”

"In order to avoid tongue-in-cheek, I will attend your wedding banquet, and it will not be too late for you to give me the sponsorship document at that time, and you are married, and others have no doubt, what do you think?"

Lu Yuanze turned his face to look at her, as if he had seen through something, but he couldn't, so he could only nod: "Okay, I'll give it a try." ”

Gu Qingning also nodded, her eyes suddenly changed, and the tenderness reappeared, which caught him off guard, she lowered her head and shook his hand lightly, and muttered his name: "Yuanze...... ...... Tozawa"

She slowly leaned towards him, climbed up to his neck, and whispered in his ear: "In the past, in this leisurely pavilion, what a good pair you and I were, I can't believe that you are going to marry someone else......"

Her breath lingered around his neck like a warm breeze from the rising sun, making him intoxicated and confused, caressing her cheeks, kissing the fragrant lips, unable to suppress the impulse in his heart, holding her tightly in his arms, kissing her, his palms trembling and eagerly pulling her clothes......

She felt his pain and impulse, and she couldn't help herself, but she grabbed his hand and bit his lip at this moment.

He suddenly felt pain, the corners of his lips were bleeding, and he pushed her away, "What are you doing!"

Gu Qingning wiped away the blood stains on his mouth, looked at him with a smile, and stepped back step by step: "Remember, I have been thousands of times more painful than you." ”

She turned away, without a lamp, and went into the night with the moon.

Gu Qingning returned to the mansion, Gu Qinghuan was already waiting for her in the front yard, and when he saw her coming back, he greeted her and asked, "Sister, how is the matter?"

She laughed and nodded. Gu Qinghuan looked happy and said, "Congratulations to my sister on becoming the first female official in Daqi." ”

Gu Qingning looked at him, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to be happy so early?" It's just an alternate counselor, and for the time being, let's use this to paralyze Lu Yuanze, so that he thinks that I have no contention, and it's too early to really be an official." ”

"In short, it's worth being happy to take this first step, sister, you are a construction wizard, as long as you enter the Ministry of Engineering, you will definitely make a difference!"

Gu Qingning smiled silently, and he continued to ask, "Sister, when did you find out that the pattern was wrong?"

She replied, "I've always known it, I've known it since I started drawing it." I was just waiting for the time, and now the time has come. ”
