Chapter Ninety-Six: Obsession
After Xiao Jiangbei left, the prince came to Xiao Jingchun's courtyard, and when the two talked about today's events, the prince sighed and smiled: "I feel that even God is helping me, you see what kind of virtue Prince Yu's brother-in-law is?" In addition to robbing men and women and being domineering, what else will they do? Look at the brother-in-law of Hongu. Hehe, Prince Nayu still wants to fight with me, why should he? is the brother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the palace, and they are all many times stronger than him. β
Xiao Jingchun also smiled: "The girl of the Gu family is indeed not a simple girl, I heard that the Baiwei Restaurant is becoming more and more prosperous now, although the business is the last section, but it is not easy to do a good job, especially her style, the best and largest restaurant in the capital dare to be as arrogant as her?" I prefer many people to eat her set, which even I have to admire. Abei will have her to help me in the future, so I won't worry about it, but His Royal Highness can't spoil him too much, and that kid is also lawless when he comes up with a temper. β
The prince smiled: "My brother-in-law I don't know yet? Although he looks cold, he is not a domineering guy, unless he is provoked. He has been at the border for more than ten years, but he has never heard of anything out of the ordinary, so strict with self-discipline, how can he be spoiled by me? Don't worry about it. β
The two talked for a while, and before they knew it, it was the third watch, so Fang An rested and didn't mention it.
***************************
Two days later, Xiao Jiangbei finally couldn't help it, because he left the house in the morning, he arrived at the Gu family with a few gifts: the person who should be looking for has already been found, and the atom is probably drunk in the gentle countryside at this time. He didn't think that he still had the need to pretend to be in a cold war with Gu Qiluo.
It happened that Gu Qingyun was also at home on this day, and Mrs. Lu heard that Xiao Jiangbei was coming, so she hurriedly called her son out. Xiao Jiangbei smiled enthusiastically at the bottom: "Speaking of which, Qingyun can also be regarded as your younger brother, but you usually don't have close contacts, shouldn't this be, Qingyun, don't you scholars also pay attention to reading thousands of books than traveling thousands of miles?" Your second brother Xiao has been locked up at the border for fifteen years, and his knowledge and experience are not comparable to you, the son of the capital. You have to ask him a lot of advice. β
Gu Qingyun nodded slightly, but his heart was a little heavy: although he didn't go home often, the relationship between his mother and Gu Qiluo. How could he not know anything about it? At this time, seeing that my mother was so enthusiastic about her future brother-in-law, I felt that something was wrong.
Xiao Jiangbei was originally not a person who would wronged himself, but seeing Gu Qingyun's elegant and generous conversation, he was not as disgusting as Mrs. Lu. Only then did I have to spend patience and say a few words to the other party.
It's just that Second Master Xiao's patience is limited after all. Seeing that Mrs. Lu was excited to interject at every turn, but never asked about his intentions, he became impatient in his heart, and was about to get up to explain his intentions, when he heard a soft voice outside: "Mother, see what delicious food I brought you?" β
When the words fell, a bright girl rushed in like a wind outside the door, and saw Xiao Jiangbei in the hall. The girl stood still, hiding her cherry mouth. seemed to be very surprised, who else would there be if it wasn't Gu Jinxiu?
"I didn't know that the second brother was here, I was abrupt." Gu Jinxiu hurriedly saluted, but her eyes turned slightly on Xiao Jiangbei's face and left, and then turned her head to Gu Qingyunjiao and smiled: "Brother is also here." β
Gu Qingyun's brows furrowed, and he nodded, "Why did the third sister come over?" β
What happened to Gu Jinxiu? Of course, it was Mrs. Lu who ordered someone to report the letter, so she hurried to show her face in front of Xiao Jiangbei. But this time, the three girls also learned to be smart, after all, they have eaten several trenches, and if they don't make any progress, they are mentally retarded.
Because she thought that since Xiao Jiangbei liked Gu Qiluo's wildness, she only wore it neatly today, and deliberately made a lively and cheerful appearance, and after seeing Xiao Jiangbei, she refused to show her on her face, but played the trick of wanting to catch and indulge.
Even Mrs. Lu was very satisfied when she saw her daughter's dress. Yin smiled and said, "What good things did you bring with you?" Show me, it just so happens that the second son is also there, if it's really good, please also ask him to taste it, people can give us a lot of game, then tiger meat can't be eaten in vain, isn't it? β
Gu Jinxiu smiled slightly, put the food box in his hand on the table, and then opened it, and a sweet aroma of peaches overflowed. She took out two plates from it, each plate was four fist-sized peaches, she first picked one up and handed it to Mrs. Lu, and then picked up another and handed it to Xiao Jiangbei, while saying with a smile: "Just now Zhuangzi came up and sent two baskets of good peaches, so I hurriedly picked up a few big ones to pay respect......
The third girl's words came to an abrupt end, her outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, Xiao Jiangbei didn't pick up her peach at all, which made her extremely embarrassed, and her face turned green.
"I'm here to visit Mrs. Tai, and I hope Mrs. will send someone to report it." Xiao Jiangbei glanced at Gu Jinxiu indifferently, and said lightly: "As for the peaches, I'll just go to Mrs. Tai's to eat them." β
What to visit Mrs. Tai? Who doesn't know that the wild girl and the old woman are in the same courtyard? This Xiao Jiangbei is clearly a drunkard, not in wine. Mrs. Lu was so angry in her heart, her face turned cloudy, and she said indifferently: "The second son came to the door in person, is there anything to find the old lady?" β
"I haven't come to visit Mrs. Tai since she recovered." Xiao Jiangbei's voice was like thin ice fished out of the river water in early spring, and when he saw that Mrs. Lu didn't speak, he said coldly: "What? Could it be that Mrs. Fei is not even willing to fulfill my filial piety as a junior? β
"How so? I just thought that the old lady is now old and easy to fatigue, I don't know if she is sleeping at this time, wait for me to send a girl to see, if the old lady is energetic, and then call the second son. β
Mrs. Lu finally recognized the shape in front of her, so she swallowed the resentment fiercely, and said with a smile reluctantly, before the words fell, she heard Xiao Jiangbei say indifferently: "I'll be with the girl, if Mrs. Tai is not in good spirits, I won't bother her too much." β
"Mother, I heard that my grandmother's illness that day was thanks to Second Brother Xiao's invitation to the imperial doctor to treat her, and now he wants to visit his grandmother, which is also right." Gu Qingyun suddenly spoke, and there was already a faint displeasure in his tone.
Either to say that the son Mo Ruo's mother, of course Mrs. Lu understands what kind of personality her son is, and sighed in her heart at the moment, then nodded and said: "In this case, Qingyun, you can take the second son over." She was a little weak-hearted, for fear that her son would question her, so it was better to send him to go with Xiao Jiangbei, and think about what to say when the time comes.
*******************
"I went to the Baiwei Pavilion yesterday, and the people in the peach blossom class were not there, and I heard that which opera garden invited them to sing two temporary performances, but in the end they went to the Prince's Mansion to gild, and the effect was immediately different. Sister-in-law Shi said that the side concubine Niangniang rewarded their troupe with one hundred taels of silver, and also gave Liu Ge'er a set of head and face clothes, which is extremely noble, I know, this is all your face, and the side concubine Niangniang is supporting you. β
Sitting under the vine shelf in the courtyard, Gu Qiluo was talking to Xiao Jiangbei freely, she hadn't seen each other for so many days, and she really missed Xiao Jiangbei, because although the two were sitting quietly, their eyes were very hot in each other's eyes.
Gu Qingyun naturally knew Xiao Jiangbei's thoughts, so he sent him over, and he went back after saying a few words to Gu Qiluo. Leave this world to this pair of well-known bold lovers in the capital.
Hearing Gu Qiluo's words, Xiao Jiangbei said softly: "It's not because of me, my sister and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like that Huangmei tune very much, and Liu Rufeng really acted very well, so he should be rewarded." β
Gu Qiluo looked at him and said, "To be honest, I have also seen those head and face clothes, they are indeed very valuable, and they look like a layer of treasure from a distance, this can't be a violation of the regulations, right?" β
"No, it's all fine jewelry, but nothing is violated, who is my sister? How can we do things without measure? β
"That's good." Gu Qiluo was completely relieved this time, because he said with a happy smile on his face: "Now that this drama is singing, the wind direction in the capital can finally be turned, hum!" I don't believe it, those black hands behind the atom can really cover the sky with one hand? β
"I can't." Xiao Jiangbei said coldly, a murderous aura flashed in his eyes: "According to my heart, these despicable rats are slaughtered with a knife." β
"Killing people can't solve the problem, and you're not a reckless man, so you can't even understand this truth, right?" Gu Qiluo glanced at her fiancΓ©, looking very cute.
"As long as I think that atom Fei dares to touch you, I want to break him into pieces."
Xiao Jiangbei said seriously, if it weren't for Gu Qiluo, he really wouldn't care about slaughtering such a dog's life. In fact, even if Xiao Jiangbei really killed Atom Fei, with the emperor and the crown prince to protect him, he would be fine. But in this way, those who hide behind his back and release cold arrows will naturally help him vigorously promote the "specialty" of "lawlessness and murder", and at that time, under the crowd, Xiao Jiangbei's reputation will be over, and if there is no danger of destroying the country, he will never have a bright future.
"I can understand your feelings, but because of this, we can't cheapen this bastard, what is death? One hundred dead. What we have to do is to let him live in pain, and from then on when he hears your name and I will be frightened into a trembling cricket, so that he can live up to his painstaking calculations for us. β
Hearing his lover say that he could understand his feelings, Xiao Jiangbei was very anxious in his heart, and both of them put their hands on the stone table, so he couldn't help but move, it seemed that he wanted to go up and pull Gu Qiluo's hand, but his eyes looked at his sweetheart's face carefully, as if he was testing her bottom line.
Of course, Gu Qiluo knew the "Sima Zhao's heart" of that hand, she was angry and funny, but the hand on the table did not move. I don't know how long it took, the wide palm that was moving at a more outrageous speed than a snail on the stone table finally crawled over, gently holding Gu Qiluo's fingers, and at this point, the two hands with a good heart finally completed the meeting victoriously, and the next moment, the wide palm wrapped the other delicate and soft hand tightly.
