The pastries carved with plum blossoms and lotus flowers are snow-white, and there are diced grapes or watermelons on them, and the color is so bright that people can't help but move their index fingers.

Wang Jiulang's expression was faint, and he didn't want to taste it: "Thank you...... I don't eat after that. ”

Gu Chonghua hurriedly said: "Look at me, such a reckless person, let Jiulang see the joke." "Three points of chagrin, five points of confusion, and two points of coquettishness.

"Let's go back if it's okay." Wang Jiulang stood up: "It's late at night. ”

Gu Chonghua thought that Wang Jiulang was going to send her, and he was overjoyed: "I came suddenly, I didn't say hello in advance, and I disturbed Yaxing, who was reading a book." ”

As he spoke, he took two steps back to the side, intending to wait for Wang Jiulang to come over and follow behind Wang Jiulang.

The moon is shining tonight, and when they walk under the moon together, even if something happens, it is logical.

Unexpectedly, Wang Jiulang went straight into the inner room, and didn't even say a polite word, obviously not taking her in his eyes.

Gu Chonghua was arrogant, he felt humiliated, his face was flushed, and his mind was blank.

It wasn't until Ruifeng came over to pack the pastries and handed her the food box that she reacted: "I'm really sorry to bother you to do it yourself." ”

She reacted quickly, and she didn't forget to smile politely and reservedly.

Ruifeng sent her out: "We are subordinates, and it is no longer appropriate to do these things." ”

Gu Chonghua didn't believe his words, and said softly: "You are the old man next to Jiulang, and I think you are an elder in my heart." ”

Looking at the respectful appearance of those subordinates to Ruifeng, you can know that he is not an ordinary servant.

"Haha." Ruifeng smiled a little smugly: "The elders don't dare to be, but they have been with the ninth master for a long time, and the ninth master sees that I am old and gives me some face." ”

Gu Chonghua was overjoyed, knowing that he had found the right person, and his voice was a little more polite than just now: "I took the liberty of coming tonight and disturbed Jiu Lang's reading, and I was very sorry not to go, you can help me make up in front of Jiu Lang." ”

"Our ninth master doesn't like sweets, and he doesn't eat after the end of the day, it's not Miss Gu's fault, you don't have to take it to heart."

Gu Chonghua sighed when he heard this: "The fourth sister has lived in the house for so long, thanks to Jiulang's care, I have been bothering myself for a long time, I thought of making something to thank Jiulang personally, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating." I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, and I don't know if I'll have a chance to thank Jiurou in person. ”

Ruifeng listened to a slight groan and did not speak.

Gu Chonghua's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly took out a purse and handed it to Ruifeng, Ruifeng pinched it, and only then did a smile appear on his face: "It's getting late today, and the ninth master won't come out again." However, our father would boxing and practice at the lake every morning and midnight. Miss Gu will get up early tomorrow, before she goes out, it is still possible to meet the ninth master. ”

Gu Chonghua was pleasantly surprised, but his face remained indifferent: "Thank you Uncle Ruifeng for your advice, I will come to say goodbye to Jiulang in person early tomorrow morning, after all, I have been bothering for many days, so I just left, I really don't want to go." ”

Ruifeng nodded and watched her leave.

When she was far away, Asher and Adelfang jumped out of the grass and stretched out their hands to ask Ruifeng for a purse.

Ruifeng made a tiger face: "You are getting bolder and bolder, do you think I didn't hear you follow?" What if it is detected? ”

"Uncle, Brother Asher and I are agile, how can we be discovered, and not everyone is as discerning as you, uncle." Ade smiled and pulled Ruifeng's sleeve: "We haven't encountered this kind of thing for several years, anyway, you can't look down on the silver in your purse, so buy me and Brother Asher candy to eat." ”

"Two little monkeys!" Ruifeng smiled and scolded, but still threw the purse to them: "Get up early tomorrow." ”

"Don't worry, uncle, you won't make a mistake." While dividing the money, the two muttered: "Either you send food or stain your clothes, or you fall into the water, can't you think of some fresh tricks?" ”

How did Gu Chonghua know that her actions had already been seen clearly, and she was still complacent about her intelligence.

Sure enough, it is worthy of Wang Jiulang, she is so petty and gentle, but he is not moved at all. It can be seen that he is exactly the same as the rumors, not close to women, cold and proud, and contemptuous of all things, how can such a person look down on Gu Chongyang's little girl.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't look down on himself, as long as the plan succeeds tomorrow, with his pride, he has to marry her, day and night, one day he will hold his heart to her. Such a cold person, if she is moved and doesn't know what it looks like, she can always wait for that day.

One will be Wang Jiulang's cold eyes, and the other will be his gentle and smiling look at her, Gu Chonghua tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Gu Chongyang was the opposite of her, she was not idle during the day, and she never fell into the wind at night, she ate and drank enough, she was tired and sleepy, and she fell asleep as soon as she fell into bed.

She slept very deeply, and Wang Jiulang deliberately lightened her steps again, so naturally she didn't alarm others.

He stood on the edge of the bed, listening to her long, well-proportioned breathing, and couldn't help but smile.

In the past, he was only kind to her, and she was used to it. There was suddenly one more person today, and he didn't show any special disgust, but took the initiative to talk, and he would inevitably feel uncomfortable with a woman's heart to protect food.

He firmly believed that although she was generous just now, she must have forced a smile on her face, and she would definitely cry when no one was around.

I didn't expect him to think too much, the little girl didn't care at all that he talked to other women, it was really annoying.

"Uh-huh." The little man with the small bed rolled over, and made a long voice in his throat, obviously very comfortable.

Wang Jiulang felt even more angry.

In vain, he was worried about her, he felt sorry for her, she slept so sweetly, she really had no conscience.

Wang Jiulang really wants to fart in her. A few slaps on the thigh as punishment, and in the end he only lowered his head, kissed her face, and covered her with a quilt before leaving.

I wanted to use Gu Chonghua to provoke her, but I didn't expect him to be angry. It's also time for Gu Chonghua to leave, he is so cold tonight, if she is a sober person, she will naturally leave obediently tomorrow. If she didn't know what to do, he wouldn't have to save face for her.

The wind blew on his body at night, Wang Jiulang looked at the full moon on his head, and the bright big eyes of the little girl appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help laughing.

Gu Chonghua got up on time, it was early in summer, but it was still slightly bright at the moment.

She carried a small basket and walked towards the lake with the maid and the goose, and the thin fog of the early morning mixed with the water vapor rising from the lake, making the white figure who was boxing not far away more and more startled.

She took a few steps forward, and when she saw that she was close to the person, she pursed her lips and deliberately amplified her voice: "Luo Yan, look at the lotus bud in front, it is big and white, and when I go to pick it, I made a pastry for the fourth sister, and it is not in vain that she took care of me during this time." ”

"Miss, be careful, watch your step."

As soon as Luo Yan's words fell, he had to listen to the sound of "poof", and Gu Chonghua fell into the water.

"Ahh Oh no, Miss fell overboard. Luo Yan looked anxious, and ran behind the white figure and shouted for help: "Ninth Master, my young lady has fallen into the water, you quickly think of a way to save our young lady's life." ”

Although she knew that Gu Chonghua came to see Wang Jiulang in the morning, she didn't know Gu Chonghua's plan to fall into the water, so her anxiety was out of sincerity, and she didn't adulterate it at all. This is Gu Chonghua's caution, she was afraid that the wild goose would show clues, so she even hid Pingsu, the most intimate maid.

The man turned around and rushed in the direction where Gu Chonghua had fallen into the water.

Gu Chonghua, who was originally holding on to the grass by the lake, let go of his hands, and while letting himself be completely submerged in the water, he gently ripped off the clothes on his body.

The cold water made her teeth chatter, the lake flooded over her head and poured down her throat, and just as she was confused and terrified, worried about whether she would die here, a pair of hands held her waist.

Gu Chonghua breathed a sigh of relief and finally passed out.

When she woke up, she was on the bed, but when she opened her eyes, she didn't see Wang Jiulang's concerned eyes, and the imaginary scene of shouting and asking for warmth did not appear, let alone Gu Chongyang's angry gritted teeth but helpless.

What she saw was a simple furnishing, a muslin curtain.

She was stunned by the neat but shabby house in front of her: "Where am I?" ”

This is not the courtyard where she lives, and it is definitely not Wang Jiulang's house.

Gu Chonghua stared at Luo Yan and asked.

Luo Yan hurriedly walked over and put the pillow on Gu Chonghua's back very considerately: "Miss, this is the Yongdingmen Inn." ”

Gu Chonghua's face suddenly turned snow-white.

There are a total of seven gates in the capital, and the southernmost part of the capital is Yongding Gate, which is the main road from the south to Beijing. When she went to the royal courtyard before, she went out of the city from Yongding Gate.

And the Yongdingmen Inn is at the time of a stick of incense from the Yongding Gate, and the people who go out like to sprinkle wine here to say goodbye, and the people who have not had time to enter the city before the city gate is closed will also settle here. Over time, the Yongdingmen Inn became the largest inn in the vicinity.

She fell into the water, her clothes were half-distangled, Wang Jiulang saved her, she should continue to stay in Huiyuan to recuperate, but now she was left in the inn...... It can only show that Wang Jiulang didn't want to get involved with her at all, saved her, hugged her, looked at her body, and left with a shake of his hand!

Is this still the indifferent but arrogant and noble Wang Jiulang in her impression?

Things were not at all what she expected, what was the business trip.

"Miss, are you alright? Is there anything wrong with it? Luo Yan saw her sitting in a daze, her face seemed to be unwilling, and she didn't dare to disturb her loudly, so she asked cautiously: "Do you want me to ask the doctor to come and show you?" ”

Gu Chonghua Mu Di grabbed the quilt with both hands: "I'm fine, you help me up, let's go home." ”

She is destined to marry Wang Jiulang, such a thing happened, he wants to treat it as if there was no write-off, where is it so easy? She Gu Chonghua is the concubine of the Qingyang Marquis Mansion, the confidant of Princess Hanshan, and the number one talented girl in Ruizhu Academy.

It was he who was ruthless first, and don't blame her for making things bigger, when the time comes, it will be difficult for him to ride a tiger, and he can't marry her if he wants to.

Luo Yan saw that although her face was not very good-looking, she still had the strength to speak, so she put her mind at ease: "But it scared me to death, miss, you didn't know, you fell into the water at that time, fortunately the Wang family's little servant was by the river, fortunately he is also a person who knows water, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable......"

"What did you say!" Gu Chonghua's eyes widened as if he was struck by lightning, and he grabbed Luo Yan's arm: "You said that the little maid of the Wang family rescued me?" ”

"yes." Luo Yan saw that her face was not good, and hurriedly shook her hand and comforted: "Although it was the little guy who rescued you, except for me and the little guy, only Uncle Ruifeng knew about it, and no one else saw it." The Wang family has strict rules, and they will never let this matter leak out. And the fourth lady of our family is a disciple of Mrs. Baozhen, even for the sake of the fourth lady's face, the Wang family will never let your reputation be damaged. ”

The innocent eldest lady was touched by the little girl, not only touched, but the young lady's entire clothes were washed away by the water, and most of her belly pocket fell off. Whoever it is, you won't be able to accept it when you hear the news.

Gu Chonghua's body couldn't stop shaking, and it was only at this moment that she suddenly realized that her idea had already been seen through by Wang Jiulang. He could have rejected her directly, and he could have reminded her in other tactful ways, but he didn't do anything, he just watched her be embarrassed.

No, no, no, if he just stood by and watched, he actually used someone to humiliate her.

She thought that Wang Jiulang was just cold and proud, but she didn't expect him to be so ruthless. To do this kind of thing to her, an innocent, soft and weak little girl, and throw her to the inn, are you not afraid that something will happen to her, a weak woman?

No wonder he would play the piano with Gu Chongyang that day, no wonder Gu Chongyang would be so fearless to regard Wang Jiulang as his own, it turned out that Wang Jiulang had long been fascinated by Gu Chongyang, they had already breathed out of one nostril, only she was in the dark and knew nothing about being played by them as a monkey.

Gu Chongyang was so angry that the blood in his heart was surging, his eyes were red, and he couldn't stop his tears: "Gu Chongyang!" You snatched away my qiē, ruined my qiē and mocked me proudly, I am unwilling, I am so unwilling. ”

She hammered the quilt with both hands, crying loudly, and gritting her teeth and calling Gu Chongyang's name with hatred.

Knowing that she left Huiyuan early in the morning, Gu Chongyang was a little surprised, but more than that, he was happy. The big sister is finally gone, and she has more time to get along with Kuro.

It's a pity that Wang Jiulang seems to be extremely busy and always can't see anyone. Gu Chongyang felt a little lost in her heart, but she quickly put it aside, because she also had something to do. Chai Xiyue harmed her in the previous life, and she can ignore it after she is reborn, but she can't just forget the account in Guangji Temple before.

She released the pigeons and called Gu Tai to come to the royal courtyard.

It was only half a day's work before Amin came in and reported: "Miss, Gu Er's steward is here." ”

The second steward of Gu in her mouth is Gu Tailai, since he came to Gu Chongyang's side, Gu Tailai followed Gu Chongyang through ups and downs, and after Gu Weirui inherited the title, Gu Chongyang asked him to follow the chief steward of the Hou Mansion to learn housekeeping, and now he has become a steward.

"So fast?" Gu Chongyang smiled before he could say anything: "Hurry up and ask Gu Er to come in." ”

Gu Tailai walked in, wearing a bamboo green collared robe, decent and majestic, and those who saw him knew at first glance that he was a steady and clever young man.

As soon as Gu Tailai entered the door, he came up and saluted Gu Chongyang respectfully: "Miss, what are you asking me to do this time?" ”

He is the second manager of everyone, but in front of Gu Chongyang, he is always the same Gu Tailai as before.

Gu Chongyang smiled, "It's Miss Chai Biao's business, you go and find out where she lives now." ”

"Miss Chai Biao has been found by Mrs. Chai and Young Master Biao, and now their family of three lives near Guangji Temple."

Gu Chongyang was taken aback: "Didn't Miss Chai Biao make an outer room for people?" How did you come back again? ”

"It's an outer room for people, Miss Chai Biao came to our house when she just came back, and asked the old lady and the fourth lady to make her the decision, it is said that the person is the Fu King."

Gu Tailai was a head taller than Gu Chongyang, but he was standing in front of Gu Chongyang at this moment but bent down slightly: "But our old lady said that she was old, no matter what happened, the fourth lady pushed to have a safe pregnancy, Miss Chai Biao and Mrs. Chai cried and begged for a long time, and finally had to leave." Later, Miss Chai Biao bought a single-door house behind Guangji Temple, and Miss Chai Biao never said that the person was King Fu. Eighty percent of it was King Fu who gave hush money, and she could only take the money to eat this dumb loss. ”

Chai Xiyue will be such a result Gu Chongyang was a little disappointed, he originally wanted to take care of Chai Xiyue, but he didn't expect her to be so miserable now, her desire to shoot. There is no hope. But she didn't plan to let Chai Xiyue go like this: "You go and find out what's going on with the Chai family recently, you don't have to come to tell me in person, we will go back to the capital in a few days." ”

"Yes." Gu Tailai bowed, walked to the door and saw Ana standing straight with his hands on his chest, so he greeted: "It's so hot, why are you still standing under the corridor?" Miss is not intolerant, why not go in? ”

Ana's originally expressionless face showed a little indifference: "It has nothing to do with you!" ”

Gu Tailai didn't get angry when he touched the nail, he only smiled and took out a small box from his sleeve cage: "This is a dart given to me by the people below, I don't use it on weekdays, but it's just left at home for nothing to fall into dust and rust, if Ana's eyes are eye-catching, take it." ”

Ana's face turned and he didn't look at him: "It's useless, and I don't dare to accept the things of the second manager." ”

"I'll keep this thing and keep it, it's better for you to use it to reflect its value, besides, you stay by Miss's side all day long, protecting Miss's safety, how can it be useless."

Gu Tailai opened the box, sent it to Ana, and said, "It's the first time I've seen this kind of dart, I really don't know how to use it." ”

People who know kung fu have a few weapons at hand. When Ana used to be at home, she used a dart, and she knew at a glance that the dart in front of her was not ordinary.

This is not an ordinary dart, the darts are packed in a small box, which is full of mechanisms, and when in danger, as long as the darts are gently pulled, they can be launched, usually in the sleeve cage, no one knows.

Ana said: "This dart has a mechanism, and it is very clever. ”

Seeing that she didn't walk away with a cold face like before, Gu Tailai couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart, and pretended to exaggerate: "Is there a mechanism?" Where is the mechanism, how do I not know? ”

Ana pointed to him: "There are mechanisms here, here, and here." The more she looked at it, the more she felt that the dart box was made of exquisite work.

Gu Tailai said: "Speaking of which, I have never used this thing." I'm afraid I'll hurt someone, Ana, can you show me a little bit of it? ”

Ana, without doubt, took the dart box and aimed it at a tree not far away, only to hear a "whoosh" sound, and the dart had been firmly nailed into the trunk.

"Ana, you're amazing!" Gu Tailai praised again and again.

Ana was still expressionless: "It's a dart that is powerful." She said, walking toward the tree, ready to retrieve the darts that had been sent out.

But when she took down the dart from the tree, Gu Tailai had already walked a long way, and he grinned and beckoned to Ana: "Ana, you can keep this dart for me for the time being, and you can return it to me when I want to use it in the future." ”

Ana thought for a moment and tucked the dart into his sleeve.

When I turned around, I saw Amin standing behind me, and I was so frightened that she screamed because she suddenly turned around: "Why did you suddenly turn around and not say a word, it scared me a lot!" ”

Originally, she planned to scare Ana, but she didn't expect to be scared by Ana.

Ana didn't say anything and continued walking.

Amin hurriedly followed, and smiled at her with malicious intent: "Ana, Gu Er's steward is really good to you, this time I sent something again, it's a pity that the rouge you sent last time was thrown by you, what is it this time?" Don't throw it away, if you don't like it, you can give it to me, I'll use it. ”

Ana glanced at her and continued to ignore her.

Amin laughed, "Oh! I know, it must be that you are tempted by Gu Er's affairs, so I accepted his things. Okay, I'll sue Miss Sù and let Miss be in charge of marrying you to Gu Er. ”

Gu Chongyang had already heard Amin's chattering in the house, and she was actually a little puzzled about Gu Tailai's love for Ana, no matter how you look at it, Amin is more lively and cute and more compatible with Gu Tailai, why did he fall in love with Ana, who doesn't like to talk.

But whether it is Amin or Ana, it is the same in her heart. She won't force them to marry just because Gu Tailai likes it, if Ana is willing to marry Gu Tailai in the end, then everyone will naturally be happy, if Ana is unwilling, she will pick someone else for Gu Tailai.

At this point, Gu Chongyang had already planned for a long time.

On the second day of Gu Tailai's departure, it suddenly rained heavily for two days in the capital, which made the originally sultry heat drop a lot.

On the afternoon of the third day, the weather suddenly cleared, and Wang Jiulang came over to discuss with Gu Chongyang, planning to return to the capital early tomorrow morning.

"Does Jiurou need to go back to the capital for something?"

Recently, Wang Jiulang has been extremely busy, and there have been several times when Gu Chongyang went to treat him, and he waited for him for a long time before he hurried back from outside.

Wang Jiulang did not deny it: "The emperor has decreed that the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households will prepare to go hunting in Yaoshan, and a riding and archery competition will be held in Xishan Villa in early August, and the outstanding children of the family can be qualified to accompany them." ”

In other words, things are exactly the same as in the previous life, and the beginning of the previous life was a surprise on the way back to Beijing from Yaoshan hunting. Change the beginning.

Gu Chongyang couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "Jiulang, what are you going to do?" ”
