067 Can You Marry Me
Gu Qingwan followed Lou Minning a few steps to an alley next to him, seeing that Lou Minning wanted to go inside, Gu Qingwan broke free of his hand and said, "What does Brother Ning want to say to me?" β
How could Lou Minning not see Gu Qingwan's defensive look, and looked at her for a while, his face became more and more disbelievable, and his eyes were full of pain.
He gave birth to a pair of very deep peach blossom eyes, black pupils, such eyes are easy to intoxicate people, when there is a hurt color in the eyes, it can be instantly felt. There is a bewitchment that makes people feel distressed as he hurts.
Gu Qingwan was stared at by him like this, her heart became empty, and she unconsciously shrunk her neck.
So I saw Lou Minning laughing bitterly and said, "You're actually afraid of me?" β
His voice was very soft, with a bit of self-deprecating bitterness, Gu Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he felt more and more uncomfortable.
This is a very close and familiar person in her memory, but he is a stranger to her, this feeling is too subtle, so that she doesn't know how to treat Lou Minning at all. Because of his weak heart, the acting skills that he has at his fingertips on weekdays are a little ineffective, and this Lou Minning is really not a simple character, even if he is very gentle with her, Gu Qingwan can always feel coercion.
If it was the owner, he probably wouldn't have rejected Lou Minning like this.
Gu Qingwan lowered her eyes, simply reddened her eyes, and said, "I didn't, Brother Ning, I just don't know what to do......"
Her voice trembled softly, and her slender figure stood in the dark alley, looking so helpless and hesitant, some faint lights shone into the alley, reflected on her face, and her long eyelashes trembled gently and uneasily, like a butterfly with nowhere to hide in the wind and rain.
The voice was thin and broken, nasal.
It's like when she did something wrong in the past and didn't know how to face herself. But it's not the same, when he left, she was still a little girl with a girlish charm, but at this moment, three years have passed, and she has grown.
Out and down slim, clear and beautiful, the whole body can no longer see the immature place, like a newly bloomed begonia, the stamen is still shy wrapped, but the petals are unscrupulously stretched, wantonly blooming the beauty of the girl.
It's pitiful and distressing.
Lou Minning looked at Gu Qingwan in front of him, his heartbeat accelerated a lot, thinking of the days and nights when he was away in the past, when he was free, he looked at the moonlight, missed his girl, and imagined her appearance. I felt that she was better than he imagined, and every place made him unable to extricate himself and his heart was excited.
He thought that he could marry her when he returned, and he could embrace her in his arms, and at this moment, she was in front of him!
Lou Minning didn't suppress himself anymore, took a step forward and hugged Gu Qingwan into his arms and hugged him fiercely.
Gu Qingwan's eyes widened, his whole body stiffened, he didn't expect him to be like this suddenly, he looked like a courteous gentleman, and in Gu Qingwan's memory in the past, the two of them were indeed affectionate and polite, at most they held a small hand, and they had never hugged and hugged like this.
But Gu Qingwan didn't want to think about it, this body was still a twelve-year-old little girl, even if Lou Minning was young and frivolous, how could she not restrain herself in the face of a little girl who had been guarding her since childhood? Now that she has become a real girl, Lou Minning is also not young, she has been waiting for a long time, and she has returned after a long absence, so it is naturally difficult to restrain herself for a while, and she can't help herself.
Gu Qingwan struggled, but Lou Minning hugged her tighter, chuckled in her ear in a low voice, and said, "Don't move, otherwise Brother Ning really does something, you don't have to cry." β
His voice was slightly hoarse, and when he spoke, he lowered his head slightly, leaning against her ear. There was a dangerous breath caressing the small auricle, and Gu Qing froze for a while and quieted down.
Lou Minning was afraid of scaring her, so she slightly loosened some of the strength that was clasped on her waist, and seeing that she was no longer struggling, she sighed softly on her neck as if relieved and satisfied, and hugged Gu Qing for a while.
Gu Qingwan was like grass growing all over his body, struggling for fear of angering Lou Minning, just like that, there was Lou Minning's heartbeat in his ears, and the light ink fragrance on his body between his noses, and in this dark alley, it was too ambiguous.
And she is not the master at all, with the face and body of the master, suffering from this qiΔ, Gu Qingwan actually has a sense of being a junior. For a moment, she gritted her teeth, and wanted to tell Lou Minning the truth directly, so that he would know that he was not Gu Qing.
But as soon as this thought arose, she suppressed it again. She didn't dare to take risks, according to Lou Minning's feelings for the master, knowing that his sweetheart was occupied by her, he would definitely treat her as a lonely ghost or something like that, what would he do to her?
Gu Qingwan didn't dare to say it, but she couldn't stand it when she was held by him like this, and after thinking about it, she couldn't help but speak, her voice was light and low, and said, "Is it because I'm not a girl from Taishifu, Brother Ning doesn't need to keep the etiquette anymore?" β
Lou Minning stiffened, as if she had been stung by something, she let go of Gu Qingwan almost instantly, took a step back suddenly, and stared at Gu Qingwan with an ugly face.
Even in the dim light, Gu Qingwan could clearly see the disbelief and anger condensed between his sharp eyebrows, she clenched her fists slightly, but she didn't dare to let herself retreat half a step, and said, "Is there something wrong with what I said?" β
As she spoke, Lou Minning's hand clasped on her shoulder, and then he took a step forward, and Gu Qingwan took a step back because of his strength and leaned against the wall.
Lou Minning didn't bully her, but just pinched her shoulders so much, forcing her to look at him, and he stared at her with a good eye, and said half-loudly: "You obviously know that this is not the case, why do you have to say such things, hurt you and hurt me, Wanwan, why bother?" β
Gu Qingwan pursed her lips, sighed, the cold color on her face melted, and she only said: "I know what, Brother Ning, you and I are not the only ones in this world, you are like this, in the eyes of the world, this is the case." will make the world look down on me, they will not accuse Brother Ning, but will only praise Brother Ning, you value love and righteousness, and never give up, but to me, they will only say that they buried the name of the Gu family and committed themselves to being a concubine.
The Gu family is famous, committed to being a concubine, and is shameless. You see, the world is always so harsh on women, and now I have no family protection, I just want to live a peaceful life with my sister-in-law, waiting for my eldest brother to come back. I have nothing left, and I am struggling so hard, can Brother Ning still bear it, and I will endure the pain of criticism and abuse from the world? β
Gu Qingwan's eyes were clear, and she looked at Lou Minning so stubbornly and earnestly, and asked.
Lou Minning felt that the blood all over his body was coagulated, and the whole person seemed to be pinched by a hand, and he couldn't breathe. He didn't know that his late night could be like a knife, sharp and ruthless, and he could be so good at attacking people's hearts, and the people he killed were powerless.
And she actually used his love to attack his shield, drew a line in front of her, and prepared to stop him from the line, making it difficult for him to enter!
He entered, and that was cruelty to her.
Lou Minning's hand on Gu Qingwan's shoulder, her five fingers couldn't help but tighten a little bit, and Gu Qingwan's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, she didn't make a sound, she still looked at Lou Minning with unblinking eyes, and said: "Brother Ning, you know, I can't be a concubine, I still have a choice, if I follow Brother Ning like this and be a concubine, I'm afraid that my grandfather and grandmother, husband and wife and mother will be ashamed of me." Brother Ning, can you marry me? β
Lou Minning was forced to ask by Gu Qing's voice in the evening, and the hand on her shoulder finally let go.
He stood there, looking at Gu Qingwan silently, with a puzzled expression.
Gu Qingwan's attitude, Lou Minning was surprised. In his impression, Gu Qingwan was a weak and fragile woman, and she was already extremely infatuated with him. He originally thought that with their relationship, when he came back in such a difficult time, she would rely on him wholeheartedly, seek refuge from him, and regard him as the backbone.
However, the reality was completely different from what he thought, she was so strong, so decisive and ruthless to cut off his one. It was a surprise to him, but when he thought about it, he felt that he could understand.
In the past, Gu Qingwan, as the concubine of the Taishi Mansion, was talented and good-looking, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she was arrogant, even if the Gu family is gone now, Gu Qingwan is a weak woman, but that kind of pure arrogance is integrated into her blood and bones, and she refuses to be wronged as a concubine, which seems to be reasonable.
In fact, she is his beloved woman, a childhood sweetheart, and he didn't want to wronged her. Previously, he had already thought about it, to settle her down first, and slowly plan for the future, even if he couldn't be a wife, he would try his best to plan for her to be a wife. He didn't want her to follow him inexplicably.
This is what he promised her father when he was married, and he would be good to her. He Lou Minning is not a person who does not believe in his words, even if the Gu family is overturned now, the promise of the past is still there.
But now Gu Qingwan is so strong, but it makes him feel as if he can win the position of equal wife, and he can't keep her. There was even a faint feeling that her heart was no longer in him.
He frowned slightly, and only after half a sound did he speak: "It's man-made, Brother Ning will fight for it, but you don't believe Brother Ning so much, but Brother Ning didn't expect it." β
He thought of Qin Yu for a while, and thought of the scene of Qin Yu fighting with him in the military camp.
Qin Yu is actually not a stranger to Lou Minning, although that person looks arrogant and domineering, in fact, he is a cold character inside, and he has always wanted the wind to be windy and rainy, and his eyes are above the top, which really makes him worry, and there are not many things or people that he is interested in snatching. Even if you scramble for something, it's boring and a little careless.
But that day in the barracks, Lou Minning could see that Qin Yu was serious.
Lou Minning didn't suspect that Gu Qing was a little later, but he was actually an arrogant person in his bones, he was confident in himself, so everyone was in the clouds, and everyone in the barracks was spreading about Gu Qingwan and Qin Yu, but Lou Minning scoffed, and never thought that Gu Qing would really have something to do with Qin Yu at all.
And Gu Qingwan's attitude towards Qin Yu that day also illustrates this. In the barracks, although Gu Qingwan also injured him, most of Gu Qingwan's anger was actually directed at Qin Yu.
However, at this moment, looking at Gu Qingwan, who was so tough and didn't miss half of the old feelings, and then wanted to be a thing in the Japanese military camp, Lou Minning had a strange suspicion in his heart.
He actually felt that Gu Qingwan's response that day was a little deviant, not at all like her temperament, that wild and untamable, sharp and arrogant attitude, it was a little similar to Qin Yu!
This thought made Lou Minning squint his eyes, staring at Gu Qingwan's eyes a little obscure.
Gu Qingwan was a little shocked by his words and his eyes. She didn't expect that she had tried everything, but Lou Minning was still unwilling to let go, and she was not dominated by her as she expected.
This person is too difficult, God knows how a stupid Bai Tian like the master found such a difficult man. Even compared to Qin Yulai, who would jump on her feet with a slight pick, Lou Minning in front of her was more calm like a man, and it was more difficult to fool and deal with it.
Gu Qingwan didn't know what Lou Minning was thinking, she felt that the expression on her face was stiffened, and her lips were also dried by him, and she was about to say something, when she heard Lou Minning say again: "In the past, Brother Ning thought that Wanwan was a girl made of water, but now I know that Wanwan is so soft on the outside and rigid on the inside." β
Gu Qingwan's heart beat like a drum by his cold words, and she always felt that his words really said the biggest difference between her and the owner, and for a while, she felt that his eyes were like a demon mirror, with a sharp light, which could penetrate people's hearts and see her inside.
She barely supported herself, lowered her eyes, and said: "The family has changed dramatically, and the relatives are almost dead, and I have seen my grandfather and father's heads fall to the ground, if I still only know how to cry as before, I will not be able to hold on now, and I will have gone to see my grandfather, father and mother a long time ago." Not to mention ......"
She paused slightly, her whole body was tense, revealing a sense of sadness and resistance, and said: "It is the emperor and the queen mother who ordered to copy my Gu family and kill my father and ancestors, and it is Brother Ning's sister and nephew!" β
Lou Minning
Lou Minning's body suddenly stiffened when she was shocked by her obviously resentful voice, and said, "Wanwan suspect that I knew about the Gu family?" β
Gu Qingwan shook her head and said, "If I were suspicious of Brother Ning, I wouldn't be standing here and talking to Brother Ning at this moment." I believe that Brother Ning doesn't know, but so what, the blood is constantly parting, although it is not a rational thing to be angry, but the lives of my relatives are too heavy, I can't help but be angry and resentful. β
Gu Qingwan's words were not fake, the master did have a grudge against Lou Minning before he died, resented why he was not in Dafeng at the most critical moment, and resented his relatives for killing her father and ancestor, making her grandmother unbearable and gone. also resented Lou Minning's delay in returning, so she waited bitterly.
Lou Minning's face was a little pale because of Gu Qing's late words, he took a step back, and said: "When the Gu family had an accident, Brother Ning was not in Dafeng, but in Yinling Mountain, the northernmost part of Dayan...... The affairs of the Gu family, after returning to Beijing, Brother Ning will investigate carefully. β
Gu Qingwan hung her head when she heard the words and did not speak.
She felt that Lou Minning's words were a little vague and untrue, even if he was in the snowy mountains at that time, the roads were blocked, and the letters were blocked, when he came out of the snowy mountains, he should have received the letters, but the Gu family had an accident for half a year before he came back. Could it be that the news of the capital has lagged behind for half a year?
Seeing that Gu Qing was silent, Lou Minning closed her eyes slightly, then sighed lightly, stepped forward and raised her hand, as if she wanted to touch the vague scars on her face, her fingers moved slightly, but she paused again, and said, "It hurts......"
Gu Qingwan could feel the temperature of his fingers, only to feel that his behavior of wanting to touch it but holding back it was even more irresistible than when he touched it directly, and he couldn't help but tilt his head and said, "I used the jade snow frost rewarded by the eldest princess, and it was already good." β
Lou Minning saw her turn her head to dodge, clenched her hand slightly into a fist, took it back, and looked at Gu Qingwan twice, then took her hand and said, "Let's go, Brother Ning will send you back." β
Gu Qingwan was dragged out of the alley by him, the light brightened, the crowds around him surged, and the tense heartstrings were released. Because he knew that it was useless to struggle, he let Lou Minning escort her back to the inn as when she came.
When he arrived at the back door of the inn, Lou Minning stood still and looked at Gu Qingwan again, and said, "You have a grudge in your heart, Brother Ning won't force you." I originally prepared a courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, and it was pure for you to live there, but now it is...... You have to take care of yourself, if you can't do it, then you don't want to, and Brother Ning won't let you go. β
When Gu Qingwan heard him say this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said busily: "I will take care of myself." β
Lou Minning took a step back, Gu Qingwan didn't stay longer, turned around and pushed the door open, walked in without looking back, and closed the door with his hand.
The door panel blocked her figure, Lou Minning stood in the dark alley for a while, the figure was silent and lonely, the night was as cold as water, Cheng Mo didn't know when he had stood behind Lou Minning, seeing that the master was not moving, he couldn't help but step forward again, and said: "It's late at night, the prince will go back and rest." β
Lou Minning turned around at this time, walked out with a step, and ordered: "Prepare the horse and return to Beijing." β
These days, Lou Minning has been living in the same post station or inn arranged for Gu Qingwan, only separated by a wall, and it is also arranged in the inn tonight, Cheng Mo thought that Lou Minning would stay at the inn today and continue to follow Gu Qingwan, but he didn't want him to suddenly let go of Gu Qingwan and go back to Beijing on his own.
After being slightly stunned, Cheng Mo was busy responding, and hurriedly went to make arrangements.
At the same time, in the palace of Prince Li in the capital. In the autumn courtyard of Prince Li, the lights are bright, and it is like a brocade.
The east ear room is the living place of the study of the princess of Li, at this moment, the princess of Li is wearing a garnet red placket embroidered with a wide sleeve of peonies, a horse-faced skirt of Ming Zifengxiang for nine days, lazily leaning on the beauty couch, scattered with green silk, closed eyes.
A maid in a blue gown was kneeling beside the beauty couch, drying her wet hair with the heat rising from the green jade and gold moire smoker, and another maid wearing a ginger bikini kneeling beside the beauty couch, kneading her calves unhurriedly for the princess.
And a grandmother wearing an autumn-scented gown with a shrewd face stood aside, holding a gift list in her hand, and was reading a long string of gift names to Prince Li.
"What Baojun Wangfu sent was a pair of white porcelain carved chrysanthemum Ru kiln vases, cloisonnΓ© enamel Wen Wang Ding, and two high-grade fire fox skin ......"
The grandmother was still reading, but the princess of Li showed impatience, waved her hand, and said, "That's it, that's it, let's put it all in the warehouse, these things are left and right, just put away the gift list." Haven't the two masters come back from the palace yet? β
Yesterday, the Qin Yi brothers have returned to Beijing, these two days, the palace is more than the gifts sent by the palace to celebrate the triumphant return of the Qin Yi brothers, all piled up into a mountain, the next people are busy sorting out, today Mama sent over the gift list, only read less than a tenth, the princess is impatient.
The grandmother knew that the princess had always been lazy, so when she heard the words, she put away the gift list and replied respectfully: "If you go back to the princess, the prince and the second master have not come back, and Zhou Ping, the little servant next to the prince, came back from the palace to report the news, saying that the emperor in the palace set up a banquet specifically for the prince and the second master to celebrate, and the ministers are all there, but I am afraid that it will be late to come back, so that the princess does not have to wait longer." β
Prince Li frowned and said: "It is said that it is a celebration, who knows what moths will come out, I don't wait and how can I rest assured, go, let people go to the palace gate to greet them, and their grandfather and son will report a message in time when they leave the palace." β
Mama Chen knew that the princess was frightened by the assassination of the two masters in the Sanzhou Mansion of Shouzhou some time ago, so she answered the call and was about to go out to give orders, but she saw that the first-class maid Xiang Xue, who was being served by the princess of Li, hurriedly walked in, and said after blessing Fu: "Princess, there is a carriage outside, and the car is followed by Mama Zou from the eldest princess's mansion, and she is ordered to send a maid named Ziyun over." Say yes, our prince's command. β
Prince Li smelled
Prince and Princess Li were stunned when she heard this, then glared, sat up with a sigh, and said, "Can you hear clearly, is it really what the prince ordered?" What is the maid called purple is the maid of the eldest princess's mansion? β
"The slave heard it clearly, and said so." Xiang Xue replied respectfully.
Princess Li's face was immediately full of excitement, and she said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Xiang Xue, you go and call that Mama Zou over, and Concubine Ben will ask her personally." β
Xiang Xue went, and the princess said to Mama Chen: "Mama, do you think what this princess guessed should not be wrong?" That maid should have been touched by Brother Yi, so she would be sent to our palace, right? β
Mama Chen was so overjoyed when she saw that Princess Li was so happy, her face was flushed, and she laughed for a while. It is no wonder that Qin Yi, the son of Prince Li, was seventeen years old when he set out on the expedition, and the children of ordinary noble families were all released in the house at the age of fourteen.
The same is true for Qin Yi, after his fourteenth birthday, Prince Li and Princess Li selected two good ones and arranged them by Qin Yi's side, but they were stunned and didn't be touched after a year.
Prince Li thought that it was the two Tai Mu Na, and her son didn't like it, so she changed four more, with fat and thin temperaments. As a result, there was still no movement, so it was tossed to Qin Yi seventeen, and the maids in the house were still clean.
Prince Li and Princess Li were anxious, and she was a little suspicious of Qin Yi's sexuality. Every time the princess mentioned Qin Yi's family affairs, Qin Yi also shirked in every way.
That's not all, Qin Yu grew up with his eldest brother, Qin Yi has a calm personality since he was a child, although he is only two years older than Qin Yu, but he is also a brother and a father to Qin Yu, probably influenced by Qin Yi. Qin Yu was over fourteen years old, and there was a maid in the house, but it was the same, and there was no movement.
For a while, the sexual problems of these two sons were about to become a piece of the heart of Prince Li. At this moment, hearing that the eldest princess's mansion actually sent a maidservant girl over, Prince Li guessed that there would be a situation in this, how could she not be happy and excited?
Mama Chen also did not dismiss the interest of the princess, and said with a smile: "There is no shortage of maids in our palace, and the eldest princess so solemnly asked the grandmother of the princess's mansion to send a maidservant girl over, and said that it was the order of our princess, presumably it can only be what the princess thinks." β
Prince Li immediately stroked her palms and laughed, and said, "Okay, good, that's exactly the truth." Mama Chen, if this is the case, the concubine will go to incense her ancestors in a while. By the way, now that Brother Yi has hope, Brother Yu has always followed his eldest brother in everything, and now that he is eighteen years old, two intimate people should be arranged around him to serve him first. Miaozhu and Miaoju who were placed in his yard before are both old, but I'm afraid it's not suitable, Mama said, shouldn't this concubine choose two more? β
When Mama Chen heard this, she smiled and said: "This time the two masters will be gone for three years, this time the triumphant light yΓ¬ will not leave Beijing, the princess is in a hurry to handle the family affairs of the two masters, but it is not a matter of one day or two days, not to mention, in ancient times, the old and young are orderly, and the two masters of the palace are busy with the big wedding at the same time. β
Prince and Princess Li nodded again and again, and said, "That's right, how does Mama look at Yingxia and Ling Xue?" β
Mama Chen thought about it, but praised with a smile: "Ling Xue is exquisite, the most gentle and careful, Yingxia is smart and dexterous, they are all excellent, or the princess loves the second master the most, and she gives up the best girls around her to the second master." β
