Chapter Twenty-Eight: Misery
The second more
The feeling of Kira's painting is not something that you can figure out by looking at a military map. If she really looks at the drawings, she is meticulous in her drawings and follows the drawings. But the drawings and the terrain are actually very different.
The way they draw the picture is different from that of the actual marching man. So in this life, in addition to looking at military maps, the old man believes more in his scouts, and they draw things on the spot, and then compare them with the old maps. These are all things he is very familiar with, Qiluo painted the feeling that a soldier should paint, and the old man made up the painting, not because she didn't paint well, but because he was helping Qiluo to make amends, he couldn't let people know that it was painted by Qiluo. Now he gently placed the drawing by the candlelight, and watched it turn to ashes.
Cheng Ping smiled, he is much more stable than his father, and these days, his brain is much clearer, he is taking younger siblings for his parents. At this time, he realized his father's kindness to Kira, and he wanted to protect this girl.
"It's a pity!" The old man sighed again. He had forgotten how many times he had said this, and each time, his regret was even greater.
"Actually, we should have supported the second child in the first place." Cheng Ping also felt a little bit, and felt that he didn't ask at the beginning, and directly found a stick to beat Cheng An. If it were at that time, they all took the slightest effort to get to know Qi Niang and support Cheng An, would Cheng An be very happy, and the Cheng family would have ushered in a new generation of female generals. The female generals of the Cheng family, like Taijun, can support the female generals of the Cheng family at any time.
"Don't be delusional, she doesn't look down on Erlang." Taijun came in from outside.
"When did you come?" Taigong smiled at his wife.
"It's been a while. Seeing that Qi Niang is here, it's next door. "When Taijun came over, he saw Kira talking about the thunder. She went to Cheng Ping's room, and she suddenly wanted to take a look at Qiluo again. The two consultation rooms are actually separated by a large room. This kind of temporary place can't do anything at all, so both taijun and lu can quietly hear what is being said next door, although they can't see it, but. This will make Taijun's mind clearer.
"She married a good man." Lu Shi helped Taijun and smiled softly. Lu is really grateful to Qiluo, and she snatched back her husband's life. So now she is not standing on the position of the Cheng family, but on the position of Qiluo.
The Cheng family glanced at the Lu family, lowered their heads and sighed, no matter what Gu Ren was. But. Qiluo didn't give Cheng An a chance at the beginning, so no matter how much they regretted it, she couldn't be a member of the Cheng family.
The Cheng family refused to admit that Gu Ren was better than their Cheng An.
On the second day, Qiluo and Gu Ren went to Cheng's house together. There should be a welcome at the door, but Gu Ren insisted on sending Qiluo to the second gate. He glanced Kira up and down, and Kira was also dressed up to attend. It's just that this costume also carries Gu Ren's deep helplessness.
"Don't underestimate yourself, they've invited us." Gu Ren encouraged Qiluo hard.
Kira pursed her lips and laughed. She really felt that Gu Ren was really cute at this time, obviously he felt that he was in pain to death, but he desperately comforted himself. She really didn't think about it that much. She had attended this kind of banquet countless times, and she had long passed the time when she cared about what others thought.
Once the daughter of a commoner's medical hall, she was obviously a widow and had no children, you know, in the Yong'an Dynasty, there was no tradition of asking widows to observe festivals, the Lu family was a famous and noble daughter, and in the Lu family, there were still such festival-keeping women in every generation. For the Lu family, everyone will say that the eldest grandmother is worthy of being a famous noblewoman with a strict family style, but for Qiluo behind Taijun, they will only think that she is reluctant to let the Cheng family be rich. If she really cared about what other people thought, she would have died a hundred times. However, at this time, she did not show her calm demeanor.
"Well, don't worry." Qiluo nodded deliberately seriously, and said in a timely manner that she was actually a little nervous, Gu Ren was obviously more worried, Qiluo wanted to hug her husband, she was gorgeous and coquettish with Gu Ren.
"Mrs. Gu!" Lu Shi greeted him and shouted affectionately.
"Big grandma!" Gu Ren and Qiluo followed the Lu clan and bowed their heads.
"Don't worry, it's the right day, just your loved ones. Except for the old relatives of the Cheng family, Taijun's mother's family, and my mother's relatives, there are no outsiders. Lu Shi said softly.
Gu Renzhen didn't know how to give Lu Shi an expression, what Lu Shi said said was that there were no outsiders, what could we ask us to do? But think about it, really according to the big banquet, Qiluo is even more troublesome, after all, this is the Guogong Mansion, and the big banquet has specifications, if you really let Qiluo participate in the big banquet, Qiluo will have no place to stay.
"Mr. Gu, please come here." Cheng An took the letter and came over. He came out with a blank face and stretched out his hand to point out. Do you have to show their affection in the second door of their family?
"Mrs. Gu, this way." Lu Shi hurriedly stretched out his right hand to Qiluo and asked her to go inside.
Qiluo smiled comfortingly at Gu Ren, lowered his head and followed Lu Shi in, Gu Ren really still looked worried. Cheng An and Gu Ren also had nothing to say, they just silently led him out of the second gate, Gu Ren and Cheng Ping had nothing to say, and stopped him after thinking about it.
"Master Cheng, this, I forgot to return you." What Gu Ren deliberately brought today was the jade pendant, after repairing it, he didn't show it to Qiluo, and gently opened the box, a jade pendant wrapped in a fine gold wire net, shining in the sun.
I have to say that the master is really powerful, he repaired it so that he couldn't see that it had been damaged, and the thin gold wire mesh, where it couldn't be seen, wrapped the broken place, and it couldn't be seen from the outside at all. At this time, what Cheng An saw was a brand-new jade pendant wrapped in bright gold wire.
"It's not mine." Gu Ren stared at it for a long time, thought for a while, and then said slowly.
"That's it, because it accidentally broke, but, you see, I fixed it, and I can't see it at all. So, please take it back. Gu Ren hurriedly explained, he really didn't want to stay by his side, especially, this thing, he didn't want Qiluo to see it at all. Putting such a thing by his side and Qiluo's side is like sharing Qiluo with Cheng An.
"Mine is broken, it's yours." Cheng An glanced at it again and said word by word.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he now understood that Gu Ren was the one who could protect Qiluo. He saw this gold wire net at that time, but he felt that this jade pendant was not the most beautiful in the net. So under the pretext of being in a hurry, he only took the jade pendant. Now zaijian, I thought he had deliberately inlaid it, but listening to his meaning, this is broken, and it will be like this.
That day, in Renxin Hall, except for Taijun who went, he actually went, how could he let Taijun go to Renxin Hall alone. And Taijun didn't go in, he followed Taijun and stood next door. Listening silently, from the beginning of Qiluo's amazing whimsical ideas for Qiluo's military talents, to Gu Ren's eagerness to stop it.
An effort to make himself live, but from the words, with a deep disdain. What kind of woman is this? And when Gu Ren tried hard to get this matter back on track, Cheng An thought much more than he was sitting there, and when he saw this jade pendant at this time, he suddenly became clear.
The jade pendant is very beautiful, when it was first made, he was deeply overwhelmed by the jade pendant, this is the Qiluo in his heart, the flawless Qiluo. At this time, when he saw the jade pendant with a fine golden net, it was the first time he really saw the jade pendant under the fine net. He never knew that the jade pendant under the fine net did not damage the original beauty of the jade pendant at all, but added to the brilliance. The jade pendant is in the fine net, and the infinite brilliance before has changed, and there is some mature and restrained Yongrong.
So if the jade pendant is the incarnation of Qiluo, then Gu Ren is this golden silk net. Therefore, Kira may be crushed in his own hands. And by Gu Ren's side, he wrapped Qiluo in this net like this golden wire net, so that she could shine in front of people arbitrarily, so think about it, this jade pendant is not his own, but theirs.
Gu Ren was stunned for a moment, that's what it meant, right? He finally let go. Gu Ren didn't feel at ease, that weishenme, still felt weird in his heart? silently followed behind Cheng An.
Entering the lobby, the old man and Cheng Ping were both seated, the old man laughed loudly from time to time, and Cheng Ping's face was still terrifying, even if Gu Ren was actually used to it, but he still didn't dare to look at his face. At this time, Cheng Ping didn't seem to care at all, just in the middle of everyone, accepting everyone's concern, knowing that Gu Ren was the son-in-law who saved the Cheng family's father and son, everyone was enthusiastic about him, making Gu Ren seem in dire straits here. In the middle of a group of high-ranking people, feeling their so-called enthusiasm, Gu Ren was really going crazy.
And in the inner hall, Qiluo, there is no such mess, as Lu said, the inner room is full of close relatives and friends of the Cheng family, and they are all acquaintances and familiar people of Qiluo, she has no understanding of these people's temperament, as soon as they open their mouths, she can know what they want to say. So in the inner room, she is very comfortable, of course, this kind of comfort means that she can politely chat with everyone, but in her heart she thinks about another thing, completely undisturbed.
So she was at ease, and everyone else was uncomfortable, they were all close relatives and friends, but they were also from a first-class family, and they met a person who had no rank here, and they had been instructed by Taijun before, so they were all thinking about how to deal with this woman, but the problem was that now when this woman was more indifferent than them, they didn't know how to deal with it.
