Chapter 044: Harmony and Turmoil (5)
Since returning from the palace, Gu Yunjin's mood has been very low for a few days, and he can't lift his spirits when he does anything, and being in a daze has become the norm.
This morning, Gu Yunjin took a book and nested on the hammock swing, ready to read it while basking in the sun, but when he lay inside, he involuntarily wandered, staring at the sky without blinking, and his thoughts drifted to somewhere.
At this time, Yue Liushao came over with a cup of tea and said, "Miss, the autumn chrysanthemum tea you want is ready." ”
Gu Yunjin came back to his senses, stared at the scroll with his eyes and said, "Let's put it aside first, I'll drink it later." ”
"Yes, miss." After Yue Liushao put the tea cup in a clean place, she turned to look at her and said, "Miss, the tea is not very hot anymore, and it can't stop for too long." ”
As she spoke, her eyes inadvertently swept over the scroll Gu Yunjin was reading, and her eyes widened suddenly, "Miss, you took the book down, didn't you see it?" You've been looking at it for a while. ”
Gu Yunjin looked at it when she heard this, and if this was the case, she couldn't help laughing, but this smile was mixed with some bitterness, she sighed and turned the book upside down.
Yue Liushao took the book away from her hand, then handed Qiu Ju tea to her, and said worriedly: "Miss, let's have a cup of tea and rest first." What's going on with Miss these days, I always feel like I'm in a daze, I'm in a daze at every turn, isn't there anything uncomfortable? ”
Gu Yunjin sat up, took the tea and held it in his hand, took a sip lightly, and then stared at the gently swaying tea and said, "I'm fine." ”
Yue Liushao sighed helplessly and said: "The time for the slave maid to follow the young lady is not short, can't the slave and maid still see that the young lady has something to do?" She thought for a moment and proposed: "Miss, there is a temple fair today, why don't you go out and have a look, the temple fair is on Ronghua Long Street, not far from the General's Mansion." ”
Gu Yunjin shook his head and whispered, "I don't want to go out now." ”
Faced with such a master who was not interested in anything, Yue Liushao had no choice, "Then what does Miss want to do?" That's not enough. ”
"Sister Yunjin." Just then, a familiar shout came.
Before Gu Yunjin could look back, Yue Liushao had already greeted him with a smile, "The county lord is here, now my young lady has a playmate." ”
"County Lord." Gu Yunjin was a little surprised when he saw that it was Dai Leyan, and asked with a smile: "The county lord is here with the princess again?" Then he moved to make room for her to sit.
Dai Leyan ran up to her, shook his head and said, "No, I came alone today." ”
"Alone?" Gu Yunjin was surprised, "Is there something wrong with coming to me?" ”
"It's okay, I'm just here to play with you, it's boring at home, and the princess doesn't go to my house now, and no one plays with me."
Gu Yunjin hesitated for a moment before asking, "Since the day of the banquet, hasn't the princess been to the palace again?" ”
Dai Leyan sat down beside her, swayed his legs casually and said, "I haven't been there once, I heard my mother say that the princess seems to be sick." ”
"When? Is the princess's illness serious? Gu Yunjin felt uncomfortable for a while, suffering from double torture, Zhao Ruojun was probably really sick this time.
Dai Leyan frowned and said: "I don't know very well, it was my mother who came back from the palace yesterday, who knows what the princess's situation is now." Sister Yunjin, let's go into the palace tomorrow to see the princess, if the princess really goes to kiss in the future, it will be difficult to see her. ”
When it came to the matter of harmony, the atmosphere was a little sad, and Gu Yunjin nodded silently in agreement to her proposal.
"County Lord, come and have a cup of tea, this is the Qiu Ju tea made by my young lady herself, it's very good, the county lord also tastes it." Yue Liushao smiled and took the tea brought by Ji Hongxuan and sent it to Dai Leyan.
When Dai Leyan heard that Gu Yunjin made it himself, he was immediately interested, took it with both hands full of anticipation, and then held it in his hand and savored it.
After drinking tea and eating some snacks, Dai Leyan got up and said, "Sister Yunjin, I came to you today to let you accompany me to the temple fair." ”
"I ......" Gu Yunjin was not in the mood, and wanted to refuse, but then he thought that Dai Leyan didn't come many times, and he didn't want to disturb her interest, and then thought that he was really too depressed these days, and he should really go out for a walk to adjust his mood.
Thinking of this, she stood up and said, "Okay, I'm also thinking about going out for a walk." ”
Dai Leyan suddenly remembered something again, and said, "By the way, Sister Yun Xin, ask her to go with her, there are so many people and fun." ”
Gu Yunjin explained with a smile: "She has been feeling unwell for the past few days, so I won't let her go, and we will have the opportunity to play together again in the future." ”
"It's fine." Dai Leyan nodded in understanding.
Then, Gu Yunjin went to ask the Pan family for instructions on leaving the mansion, and the Pan family agreed yes, but because he was worried about the safety of the two of them, he insisted on assigning a number of guards to follow and protect them.
Gu Yunjin had no choice but to accept it.
Because the general's mansion and the temple fair site were very close to each other, Gu Yunjin and Dai Leyan decided to walk.
As soon as he got out of the General's Mansion, Gu Yunjin saw cars and pedestrians coming and going on the street, and all kinds of sounds were interacting with each other, which was very lively.
Dai Leyan is sexually playful, seeing this lively scene, he is very excited, looking east and west, and when he encounters something that catches his eye, he tells the maid to buy it, and there is no time to be idle. Along the way, the arms of the maid behind him were already stuffed with all kinds of gadgets.
Gu Yunjin couldn't help but smile and said, "County Lord, did you buy so many things to play over?" ”
"It's okay, if you can't play, you can give it to others to play, Sister Yunjin, which ones do you like, I will leave it for you directly when the time comes."
"You don't have to worry about me, I buy what I want." Gu Yunjin said, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a finely carved wooden sword in a stall not far away. She stepped forward and prepared to buy a few for her nephews.
But as soon as her hand touched the sword, her other hand was also placed on the sword. The hand was so close to hers that it even pressed down on her fingertips.
Time stood still for a moment, and then both hands moved away at the same time.
Gu Yunjin looked up and saw that the other party was a son who was about eighteen or nineteen years old, so he hurriedly staggered his gaze again, and then hung his head and left.
But she didn't know that the person in front of her was Long Yize, the dragon prince of Qingxiao Country who she had heard of but had never seen.
"Master, do you want to buy this thing?" Seeing that his master kept stroking the wooden sword, the entourage couldn't help but step forward to ask.
Long Yize touched the wooden sword in his hand, but his eyes kept following the figure that appeared and disappeared in the crowd for a long time, and then he ordered in a deep voice: "Go and find out which young lady she is." ”
The entourage was stunned for a moment, and then followed his gaze, "The one who is with her seems to be the county lord of the Nanling Palace......"
A layer of frost appeared on Long Yize's cold and resolute face, and he said word by word in a cold voice: "I asked you to check her." ”
"Yes." The attendant immediately responded with a straight look, and then quickly disappeared in front of him. Soon, he turned back and reported: "Master, I have found out, she is the eldest lady in the Guoda General's Mansion in Dacheng Town, her name is Gu Yunjin." ”
Long Yize confirmed again: "Gu family? Gu Weizheng? ”
The attendant nodded heavily.
