Chapter 16: Ge Yi
"Of course, I can't be sure based on this alone, but if I'm not mistaken, Miss Gu also wore a sachet that day, embroidered with blooming red plums. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Li Wan smiled faintly: "The sachets of the two of you are the same style and material, the embroidered patterns are all plums, and the colors are similar, and you are brothers and sisters, so it can be seen that this sachet is from the hand of one person." In addition, the appearance of the sachet is a little old, and the two of you still insist on carrying it with you, which shows that the person who makes the sachet is very important to you, so I will dare to guess, that's all. ”
"Miss Li has good eyesight! The sachet was indeed made by my mother a few years ago, but in the past two years, my health has not been good, and I have not touched the needle and thread again. So Cheng Jiao and I both cherish these two sachets very much and have always carried them with us, but no one has ever paid attention to them......" Gu Chengyu sighed, and then his eyes flashed.
That day, she could have insisted on saying what she just said to save face, but in the end she still left, which shows that she is not the kind of person who has ulterior motives. Such a delicate and transparent woman, he would even doubt her intentions......
There was a little guilt in his expression, so it seemed that he was thinking hard.
He glanced at Li Wan solemnly.
In fact, I don't blame Gu Chengyu for thinking too much. Gu Ge is old and powerful, as his only grandson, since he was a child, Gu Chengyu has met many people who are close to him with a purpose, so he is very disgusted with those who cling to power, and he also attaches great importance to those who are pure-minded.
Over there, Wang Manqing's eyes were already wide, and he looked at Li Guan with a look of adoration: "Guan'er, you are amazing!" With a sachet, you can guess that my aunt likes plum blossoms. ”
"Actually, I was lucky, I just guessed it."
"It's already amazing!" She grinned and grabbed Li Guan's arm and continued to walk forward, "I can't think of these things like me." ”
"You didn't take this to heart, otherwise you would have guessed."
She nodded unceremoniously: "That's right." ”
Li Guan and Gu Chengyu couldn't help laughing.
After a few words of gossip, Manxianglou arrived.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant came out to greet him in person: "Gu Gongzi, you are here!" ”
Gu Chengyu nodded at him.
The shopkeeper led them up to the second floor and to the door of a private room.
"Your guests have arrived." He said as he gently pushed the door open.
Li Wan quickly glanced inside, there was a red lacquered round table in the middle of the room, two people who looked like small people stood in the corner with low eyebrows, and a man in a real purple dark coat stood in front of the window with his back to them,
Hearing the voice, he turned around.
Li Wan only felt that her eyes lit up, Rao is a person in her two lives, and she couldn't help but admire in her heart, this man is really rare and handsome!
He is tall and long, with a purple and gold crown on his head, long eyebrows and sideburns, a pair of peach blossom eyes and a smile, fair and delicate skin comparable to a woman, but his expression is calm and generous, not only does not make people feel feminine, but has a kind of romantic and suave taste.
Gu Chengyu glanced at Li Guan's eyes, his heart was slightly stalked, he raised his foot and walked in, blocked her gaze, and smiled at the man: "I'm late, don't blame Master Hou!" ”
The man hooked his lips and smiled: "The charm of the lower is naturally not as good as these two girls." ”
He was standing by the window just now, Gu Chengyu knew that he must have seen them enter the Manxiang Building with his own eyes, so he didn't explain much, and said to Li Guan and the others: "This is Jinxianghou." ”
Li Guan's eyes were slightly surprised, it turned out that he was Ge Yi, the fourth prince of Xifan, the emperor's newly sealed Jinxiang Hou. She originally thought that Ge Yi, as a proton, should have a hard time in Dakang, but she didn't expect him to look quite nourishing.
Gu Chengyu then said to Ge Yi: "This is the sixth lady of Rong Ningbo's mansion, and the daughter of Lord Li, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. ”
Li Guan hurriedly lowered his eyelids, saluted respectfully, and said with a glance: "Li Guan has seen Master Hou." ”
Compared with her dullness, Wang Manqing looked a little nervous and cramped, she glanced at Ge Yi, her cheeks were slightly red: "Wang Manqing, I've seen Master Hou." ”
Ge Yi's eyes swept over Li Guan, stayed on Wang Manqing's face for a moment, and said with a smile: "The two young ladies don't have to be polite, please take a seat." ”
Everyone sat down, and Xiao Er served tea.
Ge Yi is very talkative, and Gu Chengyu is like an old friend, and you talk about the customs and customs of Dakang every word. He talked quite funny, and he was very impressed by Dakang's wealth and stability between his words, and his witty words made Gu Chengyu and Wang Manqing laugh from time to time.
Li Guan cooperated with them and showed a proud smile, but he was thinking in his heart, this Ge Yi is only afraid that he is not an idle person, no matter how rich Dakang is, he is also a proton of an enemy country, how can he compare to the noble status in Xifan, rich and glorious. With his calmness that has come and is safe, the clouds and rain are just around the corner.
But how could Gu Chengyu get so close to him, his identity is sensitive, someone will be secretly watching, Gu Chengyu is not afraid of suspicion? Even if Gu Chengyu didn't know how powerful it was, Gu Ge Lao was not a fool......
Li Guan's eyes shook suddenly, maybe Gu Chengyu approached him just to understand his personality so that he could further monitor his every move. If so, then does Ge Yi know why?
She glanced at Ge Yi quietly, Ge Yi was talking about something interesting, his elbows were propped on the table and he laughed, Ruyu's face was as bright as a peach blossom, how could he be a little worried.
If you look smart, you should know it, so you don't have to worry about it here.
Li Guan thought so, and a smile appeared on his face, as if he had been listening to them.
She reached out and picked up the teacup on the table, brought it to her lips, and took a sip. The wide sleeves slipped down, revealing a string of bracelets on Hao's wrist.
Ge Yi glanced over inadvertently, and a different color flashed under his eyes.
Li Wan followed his gaze, secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and hurriedly put down the teacup and covered his sleeves.
It's really careless Jingzhou, she can't help but be ** in her heart. This bracelet was brought to her by the messenger sent by Rong Bo, and it is made of a fruit called cocophor with a strange fragrance, which is a miracle medicine for blindly healing wounds, and it is said that carrying it with you can ward off evil spirits. The point is that this camphor tree only grows on the high mountain cliffs on the border between Dakang and Xifan, which is extremely difficult to obtain, and few outsiders know about it except for the local mountain people.
She thought that no one would notice, but she didn't expect to run into Ge Yi. Looking at his appearance, it is obvious that he recognizes it.
Now it's troublesome, she is a young lady from a scholarly family, and her family has been afraid for generations that she doesn't even know where the northwest door is, how can there be such a thing. I'm afraid that Ge Yi will be worried about it, and Li Wan can't help but ring the alarm bell in his heart.
Li Guan was afraid that Ge Yi would see something different, so he didn't dare to show anything on his face, and still had a reserved smile.
Ge Yi acted as if he hadn't seen anything, still talking and laughing.
“…… General Qu is brave and resourceful, and I admire him very much. I wanted to find an opportunity to talk to the general, but I invited him several times, but he refused. Ge Yi sighed, as if he was very regretful, "Could it be that he has some mind about my identity, so he doesn't want to intersect?" ”
Gu Chengyu smiled: "Master Hou is too worried. Our two countries have already talked about peace, and they are friendly countries. I think it's because the general is busy with military affairs, so he can't be free, so you can relax, and the coming days will be long! ”
"I hope ......so," Ge Yi showed a look of admiration on his face, "To put it in an inappropriate way, the general's strategy is rare in the world, and it is comparable to King Chen back then." However, the general is loyal and superior to King Chen. ”
When Gu Chengyu heard this, his face was a little complicated: "I didn't expect Lord Hou to know about King Chen's ......."
Ge Yi laughed: "I have been defeated by Dakang twice, once because of King Chen, and once because of General Qu, I naturally know." His expression froze, and he continued, "When I was a child, I went out with my father and saw King Chen from afar on the battlefield, and his demeanor was really unforgettable, but I didn't expect him to rebel later, which is really surprising......
Gu Chengyu smiled reluctantly and did not answer.
The case of Chen Wang's rebellion in the second year of Qingtai has been 12 years ago, and many people have forgotten it. At that time, he was still young and didn't know much, but I remember that my grandfather sighed when he learned that King Cheng was given death for the crime of treason: "Although King Chen has great talents, he is indifferent by nature, if it is not forced by the situation, thinking of the Queen Mother's nurturing grace and His Majesty's brotherhood, how can he go to the battlefield." There was no horse leather shroud, but he died in vain for this unfounded crime...... Throughout the ages, the words 'high merit covers the master' are really harmful! ”
In fact, everyone knew that King Chen was wronged, but no one came forward to intercede. The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die...... The new emperor ascended the throne, it was the time to eliminate dissidents and gather power, and the current emperor is suspicious by nature, and even the Empress Yuan's family, who helped him ascend the throne all the way, ended up in exile in southern Xinjiang, and Empress Yuan was humiliated and committed suicide in Kunning Palace......
Li Guan lowered his head slightly, and his hands couldn't help but clench the corners of his clothes. She stared at the jasmine on her cuffs in a daze, her eyes dim.
When the carriage entered the Li Mansion, it happened to be Youzheng, Li Wan got off the carriage from the Hanging Flower Gate, and went straight back to the Remnant Lotus Pavilion, and Zhu Fang and Xun Fang followed her cautiously.
Entering the house, Shengfang and Yuanfang greeted them with a smile, and Yuanfang said, "Miss is back!" Mrs. Jinhua Mansion arrived in the afternoon, and Mrs. said......"
Li Wan didn't seem to hear her, and walked through the hall and into the bedroom with a blank face.
Sheng Fang looked at the shaking door curtain and stammered, "Miss, what's wrong?" Isn't it good to go out in the morning? ”
Xun Fang shook her head at them gently: "We don't know very well, it's been like this on the way back...... Tell the people below to be careful. ”
Sheng Fang and Yuan Fang looked at each other.
When Hewang came back from the Zhuji Pavilion, as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he felt that the atmosphere of the Remnant Lotus Pavilion was a little strange. On weekdays, those maids and wives are all happy one by one, and they all greet her with a smile, but today they salute without saying a word, which is quite a bit trembling.
Passing through the hall, Sheng Fang, who was dressed in an apricot-colored gown, was standing under the eaves and reprimanded the little maid in a low voice: "...... Don't do serious things, laughing all day long, where have you forgotten the rules taught by your mother? It seems that I manage you too loosely on weekdays, and you don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick......"
