Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Expedition
"Kira, when the hell are we going to get married?" Xiao Jiangbei is most anxious about this matter now, only when Gu Qiluo enters the door of Xiao's house, those troublemakers will be completely dead.
"Don't worry, as soon as this matter is over, you can get married if you want to, I don't believe that our wife can find anyone else." Gu Qiluo smiled slightly, stretched out his other hand and patted Xiao Jiangbei's hand gently, and said softly: "Good food is not afraid of being late." β
"Okay, then I'll wait." Xiao Jiangbei nodded solemnly: "I believe in you." Do you have enough money to spend? I now have a net worth of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver......"
"It's enough, it's not enough, I've already opened up to you." Gu Qiluo still smiled: "You keep that silver, in the future, we will make the business bigger, counting on that to be the capital, you don't think my ambition is just to open a private restaurant, right?" β
"It's all up to you, as long as you like." Xiao Jiangbei smiled, and suddenly heard Gu Qiluo say: "Yes, is the person you are looking for reliable?" Don't go to the end, she can't be fascinated by atoms, but by atoms. β
"Rest assured, this will never happen. I forgot to tell you......" At that moment, Xiao Jiangbei told him about the origin of Liu Piao'er, only to hear Gu Qiluo was surprised, shook his head and said: "It's really unimaginable, it will be Brother Liu's sister, so to speak, our actions to save Brother Liu that day probably fell into her eyes, otherwise how could she help like this?" β
"I guess so." Xiao Jiangbei nodded, thought about it and said, "Although this Miss Liu is in the Qinglou, she is a very amazing woman, and not many people have seen her. Because she has always maintained a good relationship with the Eighth Prince, everyone said that with the arrogant character of the Eighth Prince, she may be accepted into the mansion as a concubine in the future. β
"So what? Is this a good fate? Maybe it seems to you that it is. But I think it's a pity that such a strange woman can only be a concubine in the end. Gu Qiluo shook her head and sighed, she was really worthless for Liu Piaofu.
Xiao Jiangbei said in a deep voice: "Not all women will think like you, maybe in Miss Liu's heart, she can marry into the palace as a concubine." It's a lot of luck, after all, many famous prostitutes in Qinglou, and the final outcome is just to be a concubine for a rich businessman. They are already very grateful to have something to eat. β
Gu Qiluo knew that Xiao Jiangbei was telling the truth, and she also knew that this fiancΓ© would not care about the fate of Liu Piaoxi, a woman in a green house, but she was still gloomy in her heart. The hardest part is. Liu Piaoxu is the person of the Eight Princes. It wasn't her turn to redeem herself.
As soon as he thought of this, Gu Qiluo sighed faintly, and suddenly heard Xinghua beside him laugh and groan: "What does the second master think?" Do you also think that it is a blessing for men and wives and concubines to have a group? β
This seems to be a casual question, with the understanding of Xiao Jiangbei's character, Xinghua and Chunyu are now not afraid of this future male host, otherwise she would not ask such bold words. It's just that the implication in these words is too obvious, so that Xiao Jiangbei, who has always thought that a woman's heart is a needle, suddenly understood, so he shook his head and smiled: "I have Qiluo alone." What else do you want those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods to do? β
"Hey!" Gu Qiluo almost squirted out a mouthful of tea: "Can you speak?" What is a cow ghost snake god? Isn't it too much to describe the woman in front of you in this way? β
"Hmm......" Xiao Jiangbei scratched his hair: "That...... Vulgar powder? β
"Is there a vulgar fan like Miss Cheng Jiu?" Even Gu Qiluo didn't like to see Cheng Qiuchan. But I have to admit that the other party's beauty and vulgar powder are not related. Although the other party dared to snatch love, didn't he take it away in the end? So Gu Qiluo is willing to give her a fair and just evaluation.
"Miss Cheng Jiu?" Xiao Jiangbei looked up at the sky and thought hard, and scratched his hair again after a long time: "Who is that?" The name is a bit familiar. β
"I'll ......"
Gu Qiluo sympathized with Cheng Qiuchan in his heart: so much effort, even at the expense of falling into the water to create a hero to save the beauty, as a result, Xiao Jiangbei couldn't match the name with the person, this ...... What a terrible word.
"It was ...... that I fell overboard on the bridge last winter"
Anyway, there was nothing else to do, Gu Qiluo was happy to gossip with Xiao Jiangbei, and was about to help her fiancΓ© recall his memories, when he suddenly saw Xiaoqiao hurriedly walk in and said: "Second master, there is a will in the palace, let you enter the palace immediately, saying that it is an urgent report for eight hundred miles at the border pass, and the Northern Hun is guilty of the border." β
A sentence was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, exploding on the heads of a pair of children with affection. Xiao Jiangbei Huo Ran got up, while Gu Qiluo subconsciously grabbed his hand, his eyes were full of fear.
Lovers have always been bold, how could they be afraid because of the Northern Hungarian Tatars? Knowing that Gu Qiluo's fear was because of his worries, Xiao Jiangbei's heart became softer and warmer, and he gently pulled the pair of slender jade hands and held it, and he said in a deep voice: "I am likely to go to the border pass this time, you don't have to be afraid, I am familiar with fighting the Huns, and it will be fine, I am just worried about your ......."
"I don't need you to worry about it." Gu Qiluo quickly calmed down and shook Xiao Jiangbei's hand vigorously: "Everything is arranged, you can relax." β
Xiao Jiangbei knew that the woman he liked was not an ordinary weak boudoir daughter, so he nodded vigorously and said, "I naturally believe in you, and I have always believed in you." The military situation is urgent, I will try to see you again before I leave......"
Without waiting to finish speaking, he listened to Gu Qiluo and said: "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight." You don't have to worry about me, just do it cheaply. I'll just tell you one thing, and you have to keep it in my mind. β
Xiao Jiangbei's expression immediately became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "What words? β
"Don't get an accident." Gu Qiluo looked at the man she loved affectionately, at this time, how could she pay attention to what evasion? Because of the firmness, he said word by word: "Come back alive." I don't want to be a widow for the rest of my life. β
Xiao Jiangbei's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he replied word by word: "I will live up to the trust." Do what you like, and wait for me to come back and marry you. β
With that, he turned and strode away. There seems to be no more reluctance and parting between the two, but the tenderness is full of heart, but only each other can understand that it is really a lingering finger-twisting tenderness.
*************************
"I really didn't expect that the second master would leave like this, and that Tartar is too unparticular, what are you doing at this time?"
Chunyu muttered angrily, while Xinghua glanced at Gu Qiluo worriedly, and said softly: "Girl, aren't you really going to send one to the second master?" If you rush to this time, I'm afraid it's still too late. β
Gu Qiluo clumsily dropped the last stitch on the embroidery bandage, raised his head and rubbed his sore neck, shook his head and said: "Don't send it, I heard a saying when I was a child, saying that when a man goes on a journey, it's best for relatives not to send it away, so ...... There will be a goodbye day. β
"That's a new statement." Xinghua nodded lightly: "I haven't heard of it, but if you think about it, there is probably a reason." In the years when I followed Renyazi, I also traveled a lot of places, and once I met a very loving couple in the inn, and the husband had a big scar on his face, which was left on the battlefield that day, and he also said that if he didn't want to come back to see his wife for the last time, he was afraid that he would not survive. β
Gu Qiluo nodded and said: "That's true, people's will to survive can create miracles, so I won't see Xiao Jiangbei today, I'll wait for him to come back to see me in triumph." After she finished speaking, she looked at the courtyard gate in a daze, and suddenly said softly: "You say, has he already left the city gate?" β
"Not so fast, a hundred thousand troops." Chunyu muttered quietly, but heard Xinghua and Gu Qiluo laugh together: "Stupid, the 100,000 army is in the suburbs of Beijing, and he is going to the suburbs of Beijing to take over the people and horses before setting off to the frontier." β
The three of them were silent for a while, and Xinghuafang sighed and said: "The second master has been fighting since he was a child, and he has not been defeated until now, so don't worry, what I'm worried about now is the girl's side, the peach blossom class's "Laughing Marriage" has been sung for several days, why hasn't there been any movement on the Atom Fei side?" I haven't heard of him coming to my door for the past two days. β
"Laughing Marriage" is the new drama of the Peach Blossom Class based on Xiao Jiangbei and Gu Qiluo, since it was sung in the Prince's Mansion, it took less than half a day to know, and the streets and alleys were known. Before the people in the Peach Blossom Class could take a breath, their fears became a reality: the owners of all the opera gardens in the capital almost poured out their nests, and invited them to sing this drama in their own opera gardens through all aspects of human relations.
Fame and fortune that I never imagined suddenly rolled in, and if everyone in the team could stay sober, of course it was impossible. Fortunately, the peach blossom class master and Liu Rufeng, the pillars, are both bright-eyed, although the others are staggered by temptation, but the two Dinghai Shen needles do not move, they just think about it in their hearts, and the daily life singing is still according to the step-by-step.
"This is the calm before the storm, wait, it's only been a few days, after the calm, there must be a storm."
Gu Qiluo sneered lightly: The drama of the peach blossom class has been sung in the capital, and the people all know that this play is based on the Gu family's "one daughter marrying two husbands" as the background, and this play has begun to doubt the authenticity of the paper marriage contract of Atom Fei, the wind direction is no longer one-sided, more and more doubts and voices of grievances for Xiao Gu Er's family appear, and it is strange that those forces behind Atom Fei can calm down: Even if you can control all the yamen in the capital, can you control the people's leisurely mouth?
As Gu Qiluo expected, early in the morning of the third day, she was talking to Mrs. Zhou after she finished grooming, and saw Xinghua hurriedly running in, her face was full of anxiety, but in front of Mrs. Zhou, it was not easy to say anything, because she didn't get out of the hospital, and the two girls of Peach and Begonia were also tight, so even if the city was full of wind and rain outside, the old lady didn't know.
Gu Qiluo stood up quietly and said goodbye, Mrs. Zhou did not doubt him, and watched her leave with a smile. (To be continued......)
PS: Whew! That's right, the big thing I said yesterday was that Xiao Jiangbei went on an expedition, did you guess right? The title of the next chapter is "Forced Marriage", can you guess what it is? Hehe, that's right, it's time to start dealing with the despicable and shameless villain of Atom Fei.
