Chapter 21: Affection
"What? Can't even talk about it behind your back? I expected him to fight a hundred battles, and he was not so fragile, so what about this guy? He doesn't like to hear it, so he's coming to beat me. "Anyway, it's in his own room, and he is not afraid of being heard, so Gu Qiluo is quite unreasonable.
"Love to hear. Say whatever you like. β
There was a low voice that seemed to be laughing from outside the door, which frightened Gu Qiluo and Xinghua into exclaiming, and jumped up from the chair in an instant, before Xinghua could react, Gu Qiluo had already come to the door of the outer room with an arrow, and opened the curtain, and sure enough, at first glance, he saw Xiao Jiangbei standing outside the door.
This surprise was not trivial, the eldest girl spoke a little unfavorably, and stammered: "You...... How are you, you, ...... Mix...... Mixed in? β
"I didn't get involved." Xiao Jiangbei had some innocent hands: "My aunt ordered me to invite Mrs. Gu and the girl to talk, as long as I stand outside the door and spread the word, it is not overstepping." β
Gu Qiluo almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, this Xiao Jiangbei looked arrogant, but he didn't expect that there were still these careful tricks. Standing outside the door to spread the word? Not overstepping? The problem is that when you stand outside the door, you suddenly come to say, who knows if you are here to pass the word or to listen to the corner?
glared at Xiao Jiangbei fiercely, but saw him smile slightly, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and looking at himself with a gaze as gentle as water, Gu Qiluo was really puzzled: he has neither the posture of a captivating city, nor the power of a prince's daughter, and this man doesn't seem to be a person who can't walk when he sees a woman, so why did he think he seemed to be? Didn't he feel that this marriage was very wronged by him? Don't talk about love at first sight, if you want this guy to fall in love at first sight, I'm afraid that the beauty of Xi Shi Diao Chan may not be able to do it.
Gu Qiluo accidentally fell into his own doubts, Xiao Jiangbei didn't speak, but still stared at her like water, until Xinghua's cough sounded, and the two of them came back to their senses.
"If the girl is tired, take a rest, if she is tired, the aunt and the girls are talking in the hall, and you can be lively and lively in the past." Xiao Jiangbei, who usually cherishes his words like gold, is very caring at this time, and he almost chatters endlessly.
"Okay, thank you Gongzi for coming over to report, I'll go over now."
Because I just arrived in the room, I haven't changed my clothes yet, so I just went over to see Aunt Xiang and them. So Gu Qiluo turned around and said a few words to Chunyu in the room, and then said to Xinghua: "Let's go, let's go over too." β
When she got out, Xinghua fell behind very interestingly, and then she was surprised to see Xiao Jiangbei deliberately lagging behind, until she walked side by side with Gu Qiluo, and then adjusted her pace to keep pace with her own girl, and chuckled: "There are many mountains in this area, and there are a lot of forests, although it is winter now, but there are still many prey infested, I will shoot a few rabbits and roe deer to fight tooth sacrifices, if I can meet a bear, it is the best, the bear meat is very fragrant, but the bear is almost impossible to see in winter, but there are wild boars ......"
Gu Qiluo was a little surprised at first, and always felt that Xiao Jiangbei's facial paralysis should not speak in this style, but she was soon attracted by what the other party said. When she heard Xiao Jiangbei say that there were still a lot of roe deer, elk, muntjac and other prey in the vicinity, the eldest girl finally couldn't hold back anymore and was eager to try: "Sounds fun, when are you going?" Can you take me with you? β
Xiao Jiangbei was stunned, he didn't expect Gu Qiluo to be so bold, but he quickly lowered his head and smiled, secretly saying that he was really stupid, when he gave the knife that day, didn't he know that this woman was as bold as himself?
As soon as he thought of this, his heart was even more joyful, just looking at his sweetheart Xiumei and excitedly faced, he hesitated again and again, but he still couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on it: "Of course I really want to take you there, it's just ...... Do you know how to ride a horse? β
"Will ......" Gu Qiluo, as a member of a military family, how could he not ride a horse? But seeing the rare surprised expression on Xiao Jiangbei's face, she immediately reacted: It is not uncommon for herself to ride a horse in modern times, but Gu Qiluo grew up in the countryside in this era, how could she ride a horse? In the old house in the countryside of Hangzhou, there is not even a donkey, and the horse is returned.
"Yes, of course it's impossible." The eldest girl felt so embarrassed, turned her head and swallowed her saliva, and it took a lot of effort to hold back a sentence. But I heard the young man next to him laugh and said: "It's okay, when I teach you to ride a horse in the future, I can take you to hunt and play in the open." β
Xiao Jiangbei, who was accustomed to fighting and hunting, would never have thought of how powerful this sentence would be to Gu Qiluo. It's just that the sensitivity he trained from the battlefield made him find that the person next to him seemed to be a little different in an instant, so he turned his head to look at it suspiciously, and saw that Gu Qiluo's face had a little blush, and when he saw him, he hurriedly said, "You...... Are you really willing to teach me how to ride a horse? Take me on a hunt? But...... Aren't women supposed to stay at home? β
"My women don't have to follow these rules." Xiao Jiangbei smiled proudly, thought about it and added: "Do whatever you like." β
"Although I really don't want to admit it, I have to say, Xiao Jiangbei, you are so handsome." Rao is eldest girl has always been calm, and at this time she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, and actually said something that shouldn't be said by a girl, and at the same time she secretly clenched her fists in her heart: This man is hers. Whoever dares to make a bad child stumble and fight with her, she will bite him to death.
"Huh?" Faced with the sudden huge praise, Xiao Ergongzi was a little confused: "It's too ...... What's too much? What do you mean? β
"It's not interesting, I just think you're good." Gu Qiluo gave a thumbs up and said seriously.
Xiao Jiangbei looked at her in a daze, for a long time, Fang smiled a little innocently, lowered his head and said softly: "If you like it, I'll rest assured." β
What's there to worry about? Is it okay to worry about yourself? Gu Qiluo looked at the man beside him speechlessly, and only after a long time did he stroke his forehead and mutter, and then shook his head amusedly.
From the conversation between the two, we can know that this road is not very short. It's just that in Xiao Jiangbei's heart, this road is really too short, it seems to be over in the blink of an eye, and he has not said a few more words to his fiancΓ©e, which is really a depressing thing. (Hey!) How many more words do you want to say? It's already a lot, okay? Please also consider it for the author's own mother, this is just a mountain villa, not a palace. οΌ
At the door, Xiao Jiangbei followed Gu Qiluo, until he saw her enter the house and disappear in the middle of a group of girls, then he reluctantly turned around to leave, but unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw Xinghua standing a few steps away from him.
Xiao Jiangbei scratched his head, glanced at Xinghua with some confusion, and thought to himself, isn't this the girl who followed Qiluo? Why is it so far behind? What did you do?
"Second son, that ...... The slave didn't hear what you said to the girl, not a word. Xinghua's concentration is sometimes better than Gu Qiluo's, but at this moment, facing Xiao Jiangbei's eyes, this girl couldn't help but feel that her legs and stomach trembled a little: Woo woo, after listening to the girl and this master say so many private words, she won't be killed, right?
"Just listen to it."
Xiao Jiang walked past Xinghua without changing his color, thinking that this girl is really inexplicable, and Qiluo and I didn't say anything. It's just that, they're all vulgar fans, I don't think those words are anything, maybe they hear it in their ears, but they feel shocking, right? It's really troublesome, no, I have to urge my father and aunt again, hurry up and get married, and at that time, I can face Qiluo day and night. It's so good, so lucky, I was able to meet Qiluo, my father is really discerning.
Xinghua didn't know what Xiao Jiangbei was thinking, and only felt that she had escaped. But when I think about it, I faintly have a hint of envy and amusement, and secretly say what am I afraid of? Isn't it just a few love words? The eldest girl dares to say that I put on a cowardly appearance in front of my future uncle, but I am afraid that he will not like it, but, can I be blamed for this? Who knew the two of them would be so bold to come?
While thinking about it, she slowly went up the steps, and when she entered the house and saw that Gu Qiluo had already sat down, she quietly came to stand behind her girl, and calmed down, and then looked at all kinds of people in the room.
"What our lord means, we will be hired after the New Year, there are a few good days in the spring, let's see if you pick one, and take care of the two children."
The girls were all gathered below to talk, and Mrs. Lu and Aunt Xiang sat opposite each other on the kang bed and whispered about family affairs. Hearing Aunt Xiang say this, Mrs. Lu frowned slightly and said softly, "This ...... Eager, right? Our eldest girl only entered the house this winter, and in less than half a year, she was going to get married, which ...... Anyway, I will wait another year to let her be close to our master. β
Aunt Xiang immediately hesitated, thinking that the eldest girl of the Gu family had indeed been separated from her father for more than ten years, and others didn't know about this hardship, but she knew it best. It's just that thinking of the tone that the second young master has shown in front of herself and the old lady several times, she is a little embarrassed, so she smiled and said: "It's nothing, you probably know our young master's temperament, it's not that strict person." Both of us are in the capital, and after we get married, if the eldest girl misses her father, she can go back to her parents' house for two days. β
Mrs. Lu was full of anxiety, but she didn't dare to show her signs too much, so she had to nod and say, "That's fine, then I'll go back and discuss it with our old lady." I'm afraid that our eldest girl is from the countryside, but the second son is different from the past, and now who in the capital doesn't know how good he is? I'm afraid you'll regret it. β
"What is this called? Is our house the one who forgets his righteousness for the sake of profit? Madame don't have to worry, what's more, I think our second young master still has a good impression of the eldest girl. You don't know, who he talks to on weekdays, his face is expressionless, only talking to the big girl, I look at it and smiles a little. No wonder your old ladies said that day that these two children were right-eyed, a rare match. β
In the end, Aunt Xiang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled softly, not knowing at all how much damage her affectionate and straightforward words had caused to Mrs. Lu.
