174. Chapter 174
Gu Chongyang made up his mind to teach Wang Jiulang a lesson. Therefore, in the next few days, in addition to the necessary contact for Jiulang's treatment, Gu Chongyang tried not to be alone with Wang Jiulang, either nesting in the house to do needlework, or going to Mrs. Baozhen's house to write.
Seeing that she was working so hard, Mrs. Baozhen persuaded her: "The weather is so hot, it's hard to get out of it, you should have a good time." I'm old and don't want to move around, you can go to Jiurou, he knows a lot better than me about what to do in this area. โ
Gu Chongyang couldn't help but jump in his heart when he heard this.
Could it be that the gentleman saw something?
She looked up at Mrs. Baozhen, and saw that Mrs. Baozhen looked calm, with a bit of motherly care: "It's not just that I want you to rest, but mainly I want Jiulang to relax." He hardly comes out these days, I have the heart to persuade him a few words, and I know that he won't listen, I think he is quite kind to you, eighty percent is because you are young, and you helped the second old lady to cure the disease before. If you are free, you must help me to persuade him. โ
Gu Chongyang thought about it, and also felt that he had snubbed Jiulang in the past few days, and he felt a little blamed in his heart, and was going to go to Jiulang to come out to play after lunch and wait for the day to be a little cooler. Come to think of it, she's been here for a few days, and she hasn't seriously visited this garden.
Unexpectedly, Gu Chonghua came in the evening, and she sent something to Gu Chongyang.
As soon as she entered the door and saw that Gu Chongyang's house had all the things furnished, she smiled: "Look at me I'm so stupid, why didn't I expect the fourth sister to prepare things in advance, I'm still worried that the fourth sister left in a hurry and didn't bring anything." โ
Scold! She has been living here for four days, even if she doesn't bring anything, the eldest sister has only sent it to her now, will it be too late.
Since he knew that Gu Chonghua was using him, Gu Chongyang was full of defensiveness and dislike for this big sister. Now that she knows that Wang Jiulang also likes her, it is a sweet time, Gu Chonghua came uninvited like this, she felt even more angry, and unconsciously regarded Gu Chonghua as a rival in love.
In the past, she didn't know that Jiulang liked her, but now that she knows, she has to guard her battlefield well and never let anyone with ulterior motives break in.
"Thank you big sister for thinking about it, I don't lack anything, but I wasted your kindness." The voice was faint, and there was no previous intimacy on his face.
Gu Chonghua smiled as if he hadn't seen it: "We are sisters, I am sisters, don't worry about who you worry about, fourth sister, don't be polite to me." โ
I'm here again to look like a good sister!
Gu Chongyang smiled coldly and did not speak.
There was a little cold, Amin and Ana looked at each other and looked at Gu Chonghua vigilantly.
Miss is kind-hearted, not to mention the eldest lady Gu Chonghua, she usually treats them as kind people, she suddenly colds the eldest lady, it must be that the eldest lady has done something wrong, otherwise she would not have chased her here from the capital.
Gu Chonghua's face finally showed a little embarrassment. She pursed her lips, stepped forward and said, "Fourth sister, I have a few private words I want to tell you......"
I'd like to see what else you have to say!
Gu Chongyang said to Amin and Ana: "Go and see if dinner is ready." โ
The three meals a day were prepared and delivered from the kitchen, and they didn't need to ask at all, so Amin and Ana heard the sound and retreated.
Gu Chongyang sat on the chair and asked casually: "It's hard for the eldest sister to come here from the capital, if you have anything to say, you can just say it." โ
"Fourth sister!" Gu Chonghua suddenly stepped forward and shook her hand: "I'm sorry, I was wrong." โ
Gu Chongyang was unmoved: "What do you mean by what big sister said?" โ
Gu Chonghua's face was full of shame: "Fourth sister, I really know that I was wrong. I'll admit that I did take advantage of you, and I did have ulterior motives. When I was eleven years old, I met Wang Jiulang once, and I remembered him in my heart, always thinking that one day I could walk by his side and let him see me. Therefore, I have been working hard to make myself excellent all these years, just to become a disciple of Madame Baozhen, so that I can contact him openly. โ
"I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just that you were young before, and I'm afraid you don't know what it is, and my thoughts are really hard to say."
Gu Chongyang withdrew his hand and stared at her coldly: "So, you actually resent me, because I became a disciple of Madam Baozhen, and I broke your hopes." โ
"No, no." Gu Chonghua hurriedly shook his head, with a little panic on his face, and shook Gu Chongyang's hand again: "When I first learned that you became a disciple of Mrs. Baozhen, I was indeed very disappointed, and I complained about you for a while, but more often than not, I complained that I was not capable. Later, I figured it out, thinking that even if I wasn't a disciple of Mrs. Baozhen, I could still approach Wang Jiulang, but there was just a shortcut missing. โ
Under the gaze of Gu Chongyang's sharp gaze, Gu Chonghua gradually lowered his head, and said unspeakably: "That's right, I do have an unsightly mind and want to borrow you to get close to Wang Jiulang, but that's all because I think the fourth sister is still young, and I definitely don't know what feelings are." It wasn't until the Yaoqin Festival a few days ago that I understood that the fourth sister, you are the same as me, you are all ......"
"When I came home these days, I was tossing and turning, I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep at night, and I didn't know what to do."
Gu Chonghua's eyes turned red, and tears gradually welled up in his eyes: "On the one hand, I am a good sister who grew up, and on the other hand, Wang Jiulang, it is really difficult for me to decide." โ
The expression on Gu Chongyang's face was a little complicated, as if he was shocked by her frankness: "Then have you decided now?" โ
"Hmm." Gu Chonghua nodded heavily, and tears fell in large numbers: "Jiulang is the son of Yushu, many boudoir women love him, I have the same thoughts and it is not ashamed to spread it, but if there is a sister-in-law dispute, where will our Gu family's face be placed?" If you and my sister really in the same room, what will my grandmother think of me? I can't do it by my own temperament. โ
The words are both righteous and awe-inspiring, and bear the burden of humiliation.
But Gu Chongyang is no longer the Gu Chongyang of the past, after experiencing all kinds of betrayals, she has her own set of standards for judging right and wrong.
She never believed what someone said, only what that person did.
No matter how good Gu Chonghua sounds, she is still skeptical, unless she shows her determination with actions.
Gu Chongyang's eyes also reddened: "Big sister, what you said is true, are you really willing to give up Jiulang?" โ
Gu Chonghua burst into tears: "What can I do if I am reluctant, for the sake of the reputation of the Gu family, for the affection of our sisters, I must force myself to give up no matter how reluctant I am." โ
"I've wronged you, big sister." Gu Chongyang shook her hand and was very moved.
"I'm not aggrieved." Gu Chonghua wiped his tears: "Seeing that day you and Jiu Lang were so harmonious with the qin, I knew that you and Jiu Lang must have been in touch for a long time." I've figured it out in the past few days, you are better than me, and you deserve to be loved by Jiulang. Jiurou has been alone all these years, and with you by my side in the future, I can completely let go, so, in the end, it is still my time to thank you. โ
is so well aware of the righteousness and the high wind and bright festival, Gu Chongyang can't admire it if he wants to, but admiration is admiration, which is not the same thing as trust.
Gu Chongyang said: "I didn't expect the big sister to be so good to me, so broad-minded, I was still the big sister who came to rob Jiulang with me, so I gave the big sister a look just now, don't blame me, big sister." โ
"It's that I didn't make it clear, how can I blame you for thinking too much." Gu Chonghua smiled, still the eldest sister's style.
"Then the big sister should stay here for a few days, we sisters haven't talked well together for a long time."
"That's not going to work." Gu Chonghua said: "I came this time to untie the knot in your heart, and now that I have said it, people should go." Besides, there are a lot of homework assignments in the academy, I have to go back, and when my homework is done, the fourth sister should also go back, and then we will talk about it again. Tonight, I will harass my fourth sister here all night, and I will leave at dawn tomorrow. โ
Gu Chongyang didn't do it reluctantly, sent someone to tell Ruifeng about it, and allocated a small courtyard to Gu Chonghua alone.
Early the next morning, Gu Chongyang got up to comb his hair, and suddenly Gu Chonghua's girl ran and said, "Fourth Miss, our eldest lady suddenly fainted." โ
Gu Chonghua suddenly fainted, it was not a big deal, but he squatted for too long and suddenly became violent. But because he fainted and knocked over the teapot on the table, the boiling water was poured on his legs and feet, and he couldn't walk, so he had to stay in Huiyuan to recuperate.
Gu Chongyang couldn't tell whether she was intentional or unintentional, and only looked at her faintly.
"Fourth sister, it's all my fault, I actually ripped off a good pearl necklace." Gu Chonghua was full of chagrin and regret: "I'm worried about you." โ
"It's fine." Gu Chongyang patted her hand to show comfort: "You can stay in peace, with me, I will definitely heal the burns on your body." โ
Seeing that her expression was not as affectionate as yesterday, Gu Chonghua suddenly grabbed her hand and said anxiously: "Fourth sister, will I have a scar on my body?" โ
Because the tea was just boiled in the morning, she โกโก a lot of blisters on her legs and feet outside, although she applied ointment at the moment, it was still shocking to look at.
"No, it won't." Gu Chongyang's eyes were less vigilant, and his tone was much lighter than just now: "You forgot, I'm a miracle doctor." โ
Gu Chonghua pursed his lips and smiled, looking relieved: "Then I'll count on the fourth sister." โ
"You lie down, I'll go back first, just tell Uncle Ruifeng if you don't have anything."
When he got out of Gu Chonghua's courtyard, the smile on Gu Chongyang's face fell.
What a powerful method! First of all, she told her heartfelt feelings last night, and even she was almost deceived by her.
But there is a saying that is too much.
Judging from their conversation just now, her every move and every word came with her own reaction.
first explained that she fainted because she squatted down to pick up pearls and squatted for too long, and when she saw that she didn't believe it, she quickly said that she was afraid of leaving a scar to divert her attention.
It was the fear of scars that made Gu Chongyang suspicious.
A young girl is the time to love beauty and beauty, shouldn't normal people worry about whether they will have a scar at this time, and then think about other things?
But as soon as she came up to apologize, she obviously overacted.
This big sister is really not an ordinary person, she is so open-minded, obviously her plans are not small. Jiulang is so good, it is indeed worth her to care about the consequences so much.
Thinking of this, Wang Jiulang's light and breezy appearance appeared in front of her again, and Gu Chongyang suddenly pursed his lips and smiled.
She should have some confidence in Jiulang, so she didn't believe that Jiulang would be so lightly tempted by Gu Chonghua.
When I met Jiu Lang for the first time, he was still fresh in his mind, since Gu Chonghua wanted to die, then let her go, she pretended not to know, and saw how she ended.
This is the benefit of Jiulang, if it were another man, she would probably have been panicked at this moment. is Hao Shaoyang, who is a childhood sweetheart, she has never been so relieved, when Zhao Menglan appeared, she always felt very worried, but with Jiulang, she didn't have to worry about anything.
This matter will be handed over to Jiulang to deal with, anyway, he will leave everything to her, and he is reluctant to let her suffer a little grievance, and even does not hesitate to refute Princess Hanshan just to fight for a better ranking for her, what else does she have to worry about?
Gu Chongyang was in a good mood, and returned to the banana garden with the Nanjing minor tune that Shen Su had learned.
Wang Jiulang was sitting in the Ming Hall, and when he saw that she hadn't entered the room yet, the delicate and pleasant tune came in, and he couldn't help frowning.
She has been too idle these days, so idle that she won't go to him if she doesn't treat him. It's as if they're really just ordinary patients and doctors.
Gu Chongyang entered the house and saw Wang Jiulang sitting on a chair, his eyebrows were cold, and his face was as heavy as water.
Her heart jumped, and she walked quickly to Wang Jiulang's side: "Jiulang, why are you here?" Is there something going on? โ
"Hmm." Wang Jiulang nodded: "Sit down and talk." โ
Gu Chongyang sat down obediently and stared at him with big eyes, Wang Jiulang was a wolf for a moment, he just came to see her, and there was nothing to do.
"It's been a few days since you've been here, I promised to accompany you to have a good walk but haven't been free, the weather is not bad today, you clean up, I'll take you around."
With that, he stood up and walked to the door and stood as if he were waiting for her.
Looking at his majestic figure, Gu Chongyang smiled secretly.
Jiurou obviously wanted to go out with her, but he deliberately said that he had promised her before. He was obviously like her, and he really wanted to be alone with her, but he deliberately didn't say it.
Gu Chongyang remembered that he had only made up his mind a few days ago that he would not follow his wishes and not let himself leave everything to him......
Gu Chongyang looked at Wang Jiulang's slender jade-like fingers behind him, and suddenly felt a little reluctant, it was rare to come to a new place, it was rare for her to go out with Jiulang alone, if she didn't go, what a pity.
Forget it, just go, as long as she makes up her mind, no matter what Jiuro says or does, she always remains calm, never blushes, and her heartbeat makes him see jokes.
Well, it was decided.
Gu Chongyang said happily: "Jiulang, let's go, I have nothing to clean up." โ
Wang Jiulang turned to Amin and said, "Take the hat." โ
Gu Chongyang's eyes widened and said, "You don't need a hat, you can't see outsiders around here." โ
Wang Jiulang took the hat in Amin's hand and put it on her with his own hands: "It's sunny outside, I don't feel it when I go out, but when I really feel the heat, my face will be sunburned." โ
Gu Chongyang pursed his mouth, wanting to refute why you don't wear it yourself, but looking at Jiulang's focused eyes, feeling the strap of his hat that he gently tied for her, her heart was beating wildly, and she forgot what she had to say.
Gu Chongyang was annoyed for a while, feeling that he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself, and he would still be a nymphomaniac, Jiu Lang must be very proud in his heart, and he was secretly annoyed and ashamed, and the veil of the hat fell, covering her red face.
Gu Chongyang couldn't help but be overjoyed.
yes, she's wearing a hat. In this way, even if she loses her temper again, Jiulang will not be able to see it.
She was in a good mood for a while, and walked out first: "Before the sun comes out, we have to hurry up, Jiulang, hurry up." โ
Seeing her walk in front with light steps, as innocent as a little girl who doesn't know anything about the world, Wang Jiulang's heart became soft, and he was willing to exchange everything he had for her peace and happiness in her life.
The grass is green, soft and elastic to step on, and the wind blows from the lake, which is cool and pleasant. The bamboo forest swayed with the wind, and the birds chirped and sang loudly.
Gu Chongyang and Wang Jiulang walked side by side, and neither of them spoke.
Wang Jiulang finally noticed the strangeness of the little girl, before she had been chattering and asking questions and talking non-stop, why was it so quiet today.
"Chongyang, do you like it here?"
"Hmm." Gu Chongyang's voice was loud and crisp: "I like it very much." โ
Shouldn't it be so concise and to the point?
Wang Jiulang looked down, but saw a hood, the water-colored light veil covered her delicate face, and he couldn't see anything.
He smiled helplessly: "Take off your hat, there is no sun here." โ
"If you don't take it off, taking off your hat will mess up my hair." The little girl said the reason one by one: "Besides, I'll have to wear it later, how troublesome it is." โ
Finally, she had a hat to cover her face, so she wouldn't be fooled into taking it off.
Gu Chongyang curled the corners of his mouth, feeling extremely proud, and even took two steps forward.
What is this little girl thinking?
Wang Jiulang took her to the path by the bamboo forest.
The bamboo forest is forested, the lake is full of water, and even the air has become exceptionally fresh.
Wang Jiulang looked at the hat on her head, how to look at it and feel that it was an eyesore.
Anyway, he was going to marry her, and he had surprised her many times anyway...... Anyway, he knew that he couldn't be a gentleman when he faced her.
Wang Jiulang suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her arm.
Gu Chongyang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but turn his head, and Wang Jiulang gently took her into his arms.
Smelling the good smell of wood on his body, Gu Chongyang smiled, she knew that Jiu Lang liked her, and she knew that Jiu Lang had ulterior motives for bringing her here.
The erection neck was cold, but it was Wang Jiulang who put his hand into the hat and untied the strap of the hat.
How can this be! Without the hat, she looks like a stupid nymphomaniac, isn't she going to be exposed to Jiurou again?
Gu Chongyang was in a hurry, and pressed Jiulang's hand: "Don't untie my hat." โ
Her hands were soft and small, and they couldn't cover Wang Jiulang's slender and cold hands at all, but Wang Jiulang stopped moving as if he had been immobilized.
"Bang Bang", "Bang Bang"
Gu Chongyang heard her own heartbeat, and that was because she held Jiulang's hand, because of the impact that the physical contact brought to her.
The two stood dumbfounded for a while, and Gu Chongyang felt that the burning feeling on his face had returned.
Wang Jiulang suddenly grabbed her hand with his backhand, put it down, then lowered his head, and whispered in her ear that only she could hear: "Take off the hat, be good!" โ
Perhaps because of the veil of the hood, Wang Jiulang was closer this time than before, and his warm breath blew the tulle, and the hot breath hit her ears, giving her goosebumps all over her body.
Gu Chongyang's mind was blank, and he even forgot to speak.
Seeing that she was silent, Wang Jiulang thought she was unwilling, so he couldn't help but whisper again: "Let me take off my hat, huh?" โ
The word "um", stretched long, with the end of the note raised, was full of temptation, Gu Chongyang listened to it in his ears, and felt that his bones were crispy.
"Okay." Gu Chongyang said in a very small and low voice, not daring to speak loudly, for fear that if the voice was loud, he would reveal his mood. But Rao was like this, and his voice was still a little trembling. Although it is only one syllable, it is wonderful.
When Wang Jiulang heard it in his ears, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Feeling the changes around him, he quickly took a deep breath, dispelled the charm in his mind, and untied her hat while smiling bitterly.
I almost played with fire**!
Gu Chongyang half-lowered his head, took the hat, and continued to walk forward.
Wang Jiulang took him to the depths of the bamboo forest, the scorching sun was covered by the tall bamboo, and only occasionally leaked a little light from the gap, Gu Chongyang felt that the bamboo forest was cool and gloomy, and he couldn't help but follow Jiulang's steps, and didn't dare to go too far away from him.
Seeing her so cautious, Wang Jiulang hurriedly walked to her side, feeling a little regretful.
I was afraid that she was hot just now, and I felt sorry for her again this time.
What should I do with this little girl? If he could, he would rather hold her in his arms and carry him away.
Gu Chongyang clung to Wang Jiulang tightly, looking at the bamboo forest on the left and right, his eyes blinked extremely fast, for fear that some monster would suddenly run out of the bamboo forest.
Suddenly, there was a "hulala" sound in the bamboo forest on the left, and Gu Chongyang was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged Wang Jiulang's arm.
The warm body, incredibly soft and two balls tightly clinging to his arms, Wang Jiulang was stunned.
is greedy, but he is even more afraid of frightening the little girl.
He reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." โ
Being held in Jiulang's arms, she suddenly felt safe, but she still didn't dare to raise her head, only hugged Wang Jiulang's waist, buried her face in his clothes, and looked like she would rather die than let go: "What was it just now?" โ
"It's a pair of pigeons."
Wang Jiulang stopped and patted her on the head, and then said, "Close your eyes, hug me tightly, and let's go out." โ
It seemed that after only a few breaths, Gu Chongyang felt a bright light sparkling on her face.
Wang Jiulang let go of her: "Okay, open your eyes." โ
