Chapter 9: Eavesdropping
If it was in someone else's house, Zhou Baolu would naturally leave quietly from another road when he heard such a secret thing, but this is different here, this is in his uncle's house, and today is a good day for his uncle, there is obviously something wrong with these two people, if something happens in his uncle's house, it will be a disaster.
got closer, the voices of the two of them became clearer and clearer, and Zhou Baolu didn't need to look at her face to find this crying girl, she knew.
This is the third lady Gu Yurong of the Changguo Mansion, the Changguo Mansion is also a few families in the imperial capital, the most famous is that their family Gu Lao Guogong has passed down to this generation for three generations, although the son has many wives and concubines, but he has nine daughters but has not even given birth to a son.
Miss Gu San is a concubine, and she didn't have much contact with Zhou Baolu, but when the ladies gathered, they didn't stick to the poetry meeting, and occasionally met to say hello, but Zhou Baolu was born to never forget the voice, and this time she had already recognized Miss Gu San just by listening to the crying voice and talking with a crying voice.
As for this teenager, Zhou Baolu, naturally he didn't know him.
The two of them cried and said, there were a lot of love and love things mixed in the middle, which was very delaying, Zhou Baolu listened attentively, just hoping that they could quickly talk about Ji Lu, don't 'I only love you one' or 'There will be no one like you in this life' or 'I just hope to die with Lang' These boring words.
When he was engrossed, suddenly a corner of light blue appeared in the corner of his eye, Zhou Baolu turned his head slightly and found that behind the tree next to him, there was a man standing.
Zhou Baolu was taken aback, but fortunately, her temperament has always been in her hands, although she was startled, she didn't scream, she just stared at him with wide eyes, so it looked like her round eyes, a little frightened and a little innocent, but a little like the fawn she raised.
In fact, that man is not a man, he looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, he is still a teenager, his face is not very good, his facial features are very ordinary, he should have been put in the pile of people and will be submerged immediately, but he is tall, wearing a very ordinary plain blue satin robe, even hiding behind a tree, and there is no sneaky appearance, but as calm as a leisurely stroll, and his eyes, slender and bright, straight like stars in the night sky, very bright, shining in this dim forest, Nothing seems to be able to take away his brilliance anymore.
Zhou Baolu felt that not to mention in this dim forest, even among thousands of people, it was also a person who could be seen at a glance.
No matter how ordinary his facial features are, they can't hide the brilliance of his eyes.
The young man in blue naturally saw Zhou Baolu, but he didn't look surprised at all, but smiled with a little comfort.
Then the young man in blue made a gesture and pointed to the back of the tree, meaning to tell Zhou Baolu to listen, don't startle the snake, this time is naturally not the time to care, Zhou Baolu nodded generously, and continued to lean behind the tree and listen quietly.
Miss Gu San and her party cried, and the young man next to her persuaded in a low voice, and the words were very numb, and after a while, Miss Gu San sobbed and cried: "I, I also know that things are important, but it's just ...... It's just that I'm very scared, what if someone finds out, what can I do? β
The young man persuaded in a low voice: "If you don't move, I'm afraid that you won't be able to hide it, and if you pass the door tightly, you can still say that you were born prematurely, and if it's too late, I'm afraid that it won't happen, Rong'er, think about it, if this matter is known to your parents, I'm afraid that we will be killed immediately!" It's not a pity for me to die, but how can I give you up? Willing to give up our children? β
Then Miss Gu San cried more and more.
And kids! Zhou Baolu rolled her eyes behind the tree, what is this!
These two people are also too naΓ―ve!
Hearing this, Zhou Baolu probably understood a little in his heart, Gu Yurong and this young man had a personal relationship, and they also gave and received each other privately, and they were pregnant, it is estimated that this man's status is not high, Gu Yurong can't marry him, and he doesn't have the courage to confess to his parents.
There are nine daughters in the Changguo Mansion, and there are three of them, and the wife of the prince of Changguo is a very powerful one, and the aunt in the yard has already cleaned up and obeyed, and now a concubine has such a thing, let alone getting married, the lightest is afraid that she will be immediately sent to the family temple and locked up, or simply force her to commit suicide in order to keep the reputation of the other daughters in the family.
Their calculation is probably to find a big wrongdoer, create a blind date, so that they can marry him, they really don't have any brains, although Zhou Baolu is not very old, and she is a young lady, but she has seen a lot of rules and etiquette, even if she has a reason to marry a man, it will take several months from making a decision to getting married, and she can't hide it.
It's better to think of a way now, buy a doctor, and hit the child with a piece of medicine, so that it is appropriate.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Baolu also underestimated the courage of this little couple, and after hearing it, the little couple had already discussed that as long as the facts were caused, the young man would find an opportunity to send Gu Yurong to a private meeting, and he would be able to cover it up overnight.
It's quite thoughtful!
The young man said: "I have inquired about that person again and again, I also used the excuse to encourage my cousin to talk to him for a while in the Zhengqi Hall, and drank a cup of tea, he is indeed an honest person, he is only detained by the elders in the family to study on weekdays, and he does not even have a room, but I am afraid that I have never seen any girls, and I don't understand anything, so you are coaxing him, but I am afraid that he will believe it." β
Then he sighed again: "It's just that I am willing to give it!" β
As he spoke, the two hugged their heads and cried.
Yo, even the wronged boss has been found, and I don't know who it is.
Later, Gu Yurong finally cried and nodded, although she agreed to this, but she thought of going to do this with a strange man, and what would happen if the matter failed, and she was reluctant to be a lover, so she just cried.
The young man couldn't help but persuade again and again, almost telling the plan in detail, repeatedly reassuring that nothing was wrong, and Zhou Baolu listened to it funny.
This kind of old-fashioned trick to save a strange man in the water is often the first choice for the daughter of the boudoir after she has a certain idea, because of its ease of operation and success rate. Zhou Baolu has heard her aunt tell this kind of story several times, and often chooses to have a banquet at someone else's house, because it is an "unintentional" skin-to-skin blind date in broad daylight, some people are watching, and the two sides can't afford to lose this face, as long as the identity gap between the two sides is not a huge gap, most of them can contribute to an unlikely family affair.
Of course, the risk is low, which is also the reason why girls like to choose this strategy, that is, it is not successful, it is nothing more than an accident, and girls are always innocent.
Zhou Baolu laughed while thinking, and the blue-clothed young man behind the tree looked at her several times in surprise, seeing that her round face was full of smiles, she seemed to think it was very interesting, and a pair of almond eyes smiled crookedly, which was very attractive.
He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, did the childish and boring plan of these two people sound so funny?
After the young couple finished discussing the so-called serious things, the words became more and more ambiguous and affectionate, perhaps the two thought that there was no one else here, so they couldn't help but hug each other, kiss and caress, and their voices were sticky and ambiguous, becoming more and more unbearable.
Zhou Baolu didn't think that there would be such a follow-up comfort, for fear of alarming them, and couldn't walk away immediately, her face suddenly turned red, and she only felt very embarrassed, the young man in blue looked at her funny, was glared at by her fiercely, and quickly reined in, honestly looked at her nose and nose, nose and heart, and no longer dared to move.
However, at this time, Zhou Baolu, whose face was flushed, was like a red apple, her small round face looked very cute, and her big eyes looked especially crystal clear in this dim forest.
The young man in blue couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The little couple finally got tired of it, and slowly walked out of the way, about to arrange for the implementation of the foolproof plan in their mouths.
Zhou Baolu saw them leave, let out a sigh of relief, patted his heart, and was about to slip away.
This action is like a round little cute cat.
As soon as he took two steps, he heard the young man in blue who was also hiding behind and eavesdropping, "Girl, stay." β
Zhou Baolu looked back, the young man in blue was looking at her and smiling, Zhou Baolu was standing on the ground, looking at him suspiciously, although there are men and women, but the age of both is not so old, this young man is just the age of his cousin Zhou Anming, and it is far away, but it is not in the way.
Zhou Baolu is used to playing with a few cousins in the Wu'an Hou Mansion, even in other young ladies' mansions, when the poetry club is flowered, there are often sons, sometimes across a small stream, sometimes only through the screen to talk and laugh, and it is not overstepping.
Especially in the top wealthy circles of the imperial capital, after the marriage of the founding of the country for 200 years, who can't find a little bend relatives? Cousin, cousin, cousin
The young man in blue smiled: "Thank you for this girl." β
Zhou Baolu became more and more puzzled, and pointed to his nose: "Thank me?" Thank me for what? β
The blue-clothed young man smiled: "I was only in the pavilion over there before, but then I saw the girl coming over with a deer from a distance, and I didn't know each other, so I didn't dare to rush into it, so I came out of the pavilion and walked this way, but I happened to hear it." β
Zhou Baolu's big eyes were still flashing with doubts, just listening to gossip, what is there to be grateful for? Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately understood, and couldn't help laughing: "It turned out to be you?" β
The unjust boss in the plot of the little couple, the unlucky guy who is about to become a father, it turns out to be him!
The young man in blue didn't expect Zhou Baolu to be so wise, and before she could explain, she understood, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's exactly below." β
Zhou Baolu was overjoyed, and his smiling crooked eyes only looked him up and down, probably because of hearing such a secret, it seemed that he was no longer so strange, and there was a vague sense of closeness.
