XIII. First encounter

Guo Kun looked back at Guo Xiaoxiao, and there were tears in the corner of his eyes. Guo Xiaoxiao looked at her father in front of her, and her heart was full of helplessness. This is a world of power after all, whether you are justified or not, power can overshadow everything. Guo Kun may understand the acquiescence in Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes, and stretch out his hand to take the heavy holy decree. "The minister accepts the decree, thank the emperor for his grace."

"Master Guo, the old slave will go back to his life."

"Congratulations to my father-in-law." After watching Du Ruhan leave the house, Guo Kun looked at Guo Xiaoxiao, who was weak, "Xiao'er, Daddy is sorry for you." ”

"Daddy, you don't have to blame yourself. Xiao'er knows how to do it... Xiaolian helped me back to my room. ”

"Yes." Xiaolian slowly helped Guo Xiaoxiao up and walked towards the courtyard step by step.

Guo Kun also felt sad in his heart after Guo Xiaoxiao left, spit out a mouthful of blood with a poof, and the whole person fell to the ground.

"Daddy." Guo Jin's hand quickly caught Guo Kun, who was about to fall to the ground. "Daddy."

Bai Qi looked at Guo Xiaoxiao who was leaving, didn't react for a while, and only came back to his senses when Guo Jin shouted his father twice, kneeling beside Guo Kun, his voice trembling, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Madam, I'm fine, your usual dignified atmosphere, today is really impulsive." Guo Kun shook his head, "You go and watch Xiao'er first, I'm afraid that Xiao'er will do something stupid." It's me who didn't protect Xiao'er. ”

"Sir."

"I'm fine, go ahead. There's a brocade here. Guo Kun patted Bai Qi's hand and signaled her to rest assured.

Guo Jin also nodded, and Bai Qi turned around and left.

Originally, this day was the Peach Blossom Festival, and it should have been happy, but when it came to these things, the entire Guo family seemed to have a tacit understanding and did not mention the matter of being married.

After returning from the main hall, Guo Xiaoxiao locked herself in her room and didn't let anyone disturb her. But in the afternoon, Guo Xiaoxiao went to Guo Kun's room, and then Guo Kun ordered someone to start preparing for the wedding.

"Daddy, Xiao'er also thought about it just now, you don't have to feel too guilty, your daughter can marry Du Yu."

"Xiao'er." Guo Kun was puzzled

"Xiao'er, Daddy is sorry for you."

"Daddy, things have been fermented like this, and the Du family still marries me in this way, which is already Xiao'er's biggest scenery, and it must also give our Guo family enough face." After Guo Xiaoxiao said his thoughts, he fell into deep thought and said: "Daddy, I'll go back first, Xiao'er is fine, you have to hold Xiao'er's wedding in a big way, and you can't let the Du family look down on us." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

……

"What?" Du Yu jumped off the bed and looked at his mother in front of him with a look of disbelieving. "Guo Xiaoxiao is really willing to marry me?"

Chen Wenjing nodded and said with a smile: "Didn't you always tell me before that you like Xiaoxiao very much?" No, my father went to the palace this morning to ask the emperor for his life! ”

"Mother, you let me slow down first." Du Yu poured a glass of water and drank it gurgling.

(Official complaint: Is this to drink water pressure to suppress shock?) )

"Slow down, you listen to me first, your wedding will be held in three days, and the next day you will take Xiaoxiao into the palace to thank you. And after Xiaoxiao enters the door, you can't bully her, treat other girls well, live a plain life, protect and love her, if I find out that you are bullying my daughter-in-law, I will not let you go first. ”

"Mother." Du Yu looked at Chen Wenjing with a heavy face, and said, "But something like this happened to us yesterday, can I really get along with Xiaoxiao?" ”

"Yu'er, my mother knows your character, you won't do such a thing, you can confess to Xiaoxiao on the night of your wedding. Xiaoxiao is a good girl, I'm sure she'll understand. ”

"Okay." Du Yu nodded firmly, "Mother, I know, Xiaoxiao is the girl I have always liked since I was a child, and I will not disappoint her." ”

"Okay, okay, it's good if you have an idea in your heart, remember what you said today."

The moon slowly rose over time, hanging high in the sky, and the entire Dongcheng town was covered with a thick layer of moonlight, which could be seen clearly without the need for lights. He Mu had eaten dinner early, and this would be pulling in front of Murong Sanniang's door, urging Murong Sanniang in the house.

As soon as he finished dinner just now, Wan Qinghan picked up Murong Sanniang and ran away, He Mu didn't have time to stop him, and Wan Qinghan said that he wanted to promote the relationship between the two of them.

He Mu rolled his eyes as soon as he heard this, and said in his heart: To promote feelings, it's not about driving.

"Wan Qinghan, you old naughty boy, let my aunt out. Let me tell you, if you don't let my aunt come out, I will set fire to your house as soon as I return to Lingshan. He Mu knocked on the door while Master's aunt shouted. Maybe it was because he was disturbed by He Mu, and after a muffled snort, Wan Qinghan's voice came, "He Mu, go back to Lingshan to think about it behind closed doors for a month." ”

"Impossible." He Mu rolled his eyes. "Hurry up and let my aunt out."

After a while, the door opened from the inside, and Wan Qinghan's eyes stared straight at He Mu, who was stared at with a confused expression. "Master, where's my aunt?" Wan Qinghan snorted and ignored He Mu, and walked away from He Mu's side. He Mu looked at Wan Qinghan's departing back, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Master, this is obviously a desire and dissatisfaction.

"Xiao Mu." He Mu, who heard Murong Sanniang's call, turned around and saw Murong Sanniang coming out of the house.

"Auntie. The Peach Blossom Party has all started, and we are already late. ”

Murong Sanniang straightened her clothes. "Let's go!"

This peach blossom meeting is organized by the Du family, and Du Yu gets married, which can be described as a joy and joy. That's enough money. And all the restaurants under the name of the Dujia, the entertainment venues are all free for three days from today, and they are the main venues for the Peach Blossom Party to take out the three restaurants. One is a piano, chess, calligraphy and painting institute, one is a song and dance academy, and the last one is a blind date.

The Peach Blossom Club has an unwritten rule that people under the age of 17 are not allowed to participate in the Peach Blossom Club, and can be used as an escort, but they are not allowed to show themselves in person, and they must have a hood before entering the hospital.

The Peach Blossom Festival will open at five o'clock in the afternoon, and by the time He Mu and Murong Sanniang arrive, it will be two quarters past five o'clock.

When He Mu and Murong Sanniang entered the hospital, the courtyard was already crowded.

There were countless young women and young men present, some of them just came with their cronies, some came with three or five friends, and some were accompanied by parents like He Mu.

As usual, the Qin Academy was the first session. He Mu was two minutes late, and at this time, there were already people performing on the temporarily expanded stage. He Mu and Murong Sanniang also hurriedly found a place in the lobby and sat down.

"Sanniang, whose child is this?" He Mu asked as soon as he sat down.

Murong Sanniang opened the activity flow list given by the doorman when she entered the door, and looked for them one by one. "The flow chart indicates that she is an official lady in Linbian Town, surnamed Shen and Shen Jiayi. He is eighteen years old. The song she sings now is a self-composed song called Ni Weaving My Core. ”

"Do you know my heart?" He Mu, who heard the title of the song, turned his eyes to look at Murong Sanniang.

"Neon of neon, weaving of weaving, wick of wick."

"Uh-oh." He Mu suddenly realized. "This little girl has someone in her heart."

"It's the same thing."

"Auntie, then why did she come to participate in this peach blossom party when she has someone in her heart? What if her sweetheart doesn't come to attend? ”

"I don't know very much about that."

"This girl is not the first time to participate in the Peach Blossom Party." A male voice disrupted the conversation between He Mu and Murong Sanniang.

He Mu and Murong Sanniang looked for the direction of the sound and saw the table. A man dressed in light green with a fan in his hand, who looked like a rich child, sat next to him and looked like he was only eleven or twelve years old in a scholar's clothes, and at first glance it was the man's entourage.

"According to Childe's meaning, it's not that you've been here many times."

"Laugh and laugh." The man covered his mouth with a fan and smiled. "The main thing is that there are many women in the family, and they often chat at home, and they will naturally know more when they listen to it."

"Then you heard the conversation I just had." He Mu tilted his head and smiled.

"Girl, forgive me. It's just that there are a lot of people coming today, and the position of this table and chair is inevitably closer, and the words that the two girls have just said have been heard below. After a pause, he spoke again, "In Xia Huangyu, dare to ask the girl's honorable name?" ”

Huh, heh, He Mu rolled his eyes in his heart.

"He Mu, this is my aunt Sanniang." After He Mu finished speaking, he pointed at Murong Sanniang, who could only nod to Huang Yu with a veil.

The latter also nodded. At this time, He Mu picked up the tea in the cup and wanted to clink glasses with Huang Yu, who also picked up the teacup at hand and touched it with He Mu, "I will toast Huang Gongzi with tea instead of wine, and it is a kind of fate to be able to meet Huang Gongzi at the Peach Blossom Club today." ”

"Miss Mu is right." The two put their teacups down.

"By the way, Huang Gongzi, I heard my aunt say a thing or two about this peach blossom meeting, saying that it is to commemorate the first emperor and first queen."

"Yes, yes, but that's just one of them."

"He Mu is willing to hear about it."

"The Peach Blossom Club is mainly a lottery. According to the women of the family, there are actually three main factors in the Peach Blossom Festival, the first of which is to commemorate the former emperor and the first queen. Second, if you can get on the top list of this Peach Blossom Club, the palace will reward you with a thousand taels of silver. The last point is the blind date. Anyone who has participated in the Peach Blossom Club, if you see it right, the Peach Blossom Club will be able to come to the door as soon as it is over, and the most important thing is that if you get married in the Peach Blossom Club, the family will agree to it, and there will be no more obstructions. ”

"Huang Gongzi, then you mean that Miss Shen is not here for a blind date, but just for the competition?"

"Half probably."

"Huang Gongzi, are you here for a blind date or to win the championship?"

"I don't have a clear goal in the next place, but when I reach the age, I am naturally urged by the elders in the family to come."

"But I just heard you say that there is a woman in the family, could it be that the son is just here for fun?"

The girl laughed. The parents and women mentioned below are just some wet nurses, grandmothers, and maids. ”

He Mu still wanted to speak but was interrupted by applause, it turned out that while He Mu was speaking, Shen Jiayi had already finished performing. The principal walked up to the stage, "Next, we have invited Chen Bai Fanchen Gongzi and Du Yu Du Gongzi to play on stage. ”

As soon as the principal's voice fell, everyone in the audience applauded repeatedly, and the applause also resounded through the sky. Chen Baifan and Du Yu each walked up from both sides of the stage, Du Yu clasped his hands into fists, and said softly: "Du Yu, the eldest son of the capital family in Dongcheng Town, please ask Chen Gongzi for advice." ”

"Passing the prize." After Chen Baifan finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Du Yu, and just wanted to pick up the black chess next to him, but was stopped by Du Yu's voice.

"Chen Gongzi, Du is not talented, and he wants to play black chess."

Chen Baifan turned his eyes to look at Du Yu for a while, and then said, "Please." ”

The two swap places. The black piece came out first, Du Yu picked up a black chess piece and threw it at the checkerboard hanging on the wall, with a slight force in his hand, and the black chess piece stopped firmly on the checkerboard. In order to facilitate viewing, the original checkerboard was enlarged several times, and it is said that the restaurant owner and his partner worked hard to hang it up.

He Mu really didn't know how to play, so he dozed off at this time, and the man who was originally talking to He Mu turned to look at He Mu, only to see He Mu looking confused, and couldn't help laughing softly. "Girl, but she's not interested in chess?"

"I can't do this kind of quiet thing, and I get sleepy when I read the chess book. Mainly when I was a child, the elders in the family often made chess appointments, and my buttocks were numb for most of the day, and I didn't want to learn this way. ”
