The flowers and rain are swaying, falling leisurely from under the cliff, and the people and the scenery are integrated, like a wonderful picture drawn by a famous artist with his life.

Zhang Huaiyu stood in the rain of flowers, raised his head and closed his eyes, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, feeling the coolness of the red petals falling on his face, and the snow-white clothes stained the petals, like a rainbow in the sky leaving a color in the world.

Gu Qing stood quietly beside Zhang Huaiyu, watching her head and body covered with petals, a rare smile appeared on her face, laughing like a child, she was dressed in white and dancing lightly in the rain of red petals, like an elf chanting softly in the mountain stream.

Perhaps, this should be the happiest moment of her life, right? She, like herself, has never been treated well by the world.

"Is it pretty?" Gu Qing asked with a chuckle.

Zhang Huaiyu nodded happily, smiling with a little excitement and a little reserve.

"You got it?"

"Well, it's called romance."

"What is 'romance'?"

"The barbarian language is to arrange a beautiful scenery to make women happy." Gu Qing's explanations have always been simple and crude.

Gradually, the flower rain became less and less, and finally stopped.

Zhang Huaiyu's expression was suddenly a little lost, and he looked up at the top of the cliff unwillingly, and said, "Why did you stop?" ”

Gu Qing smiled embarrassedly: "It's too hasty, there are not many petals collected, there are only plum blossoms at this time, and the plum blossoms on the nearby mountains are almost all picked up by the villagers, and there is only so little ......"

Zhang Huaiyu smiled: "So, the villagers who sprinkled the petals below just now?" ”

"You don't think it's really God who rained petals on you, do you?"

Zhang Huaiyu glanced at him and said: "Let's say, it's watching the sunset again, and it's the petal rain, why do you want to arrange these?" ”

"If you don't dislike it, I don't know if you want to be buried in my Gu family's ......" Gu Qing said that the general emergency brake, and immediately changed his words: "...... Is it so, if you don't dislike me, don't you know if you want to marry me? ”

Zhang Huaiyu was stunned, and then the naked eye could see that her cheeks were gradually dyed red, and she turned her face uncomfortably, and the hand in her sleeve trembled slightly.

"You...... What are you talking about? I don't understand. Zhang Huaiyu said calmly.

Gu Qing was also stunned: "Isn't what I said human?" Ask for a kiss, you marry me, be my wife, I didn't explain any sentence just now, you tell me, I will help you translate. ”

Zhang Huaiyu's cheeks were still flushed, but he secretly rolled his eyes.

"You...... is so rude, how can it be so reckless to ask for marriage? If the etiquette is not in line, it is not right. Zhang Huaiyu blushed, trying to maintain the reserve on his expression, but the accelerated heartbeat was always uncontrollable.

Gu Qing was shocked: "It's sunset again, it's petal rain again, I only asked for a kiss after coaxing your flowers and branches to tremble, where is it reckless?" The atmosphere is clearly in place. ”

Gu Qing said that the atmosphere was in place, and his reasonable posture was very reasonable, but Zhang Huaiyu suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little stiff for some reason.

How do you describe how you feel at this moment? Originally, Gu Qing arranged such a wonderful and picturesque scene that Zhang Huaiyu was quite moved, and the scene of the rain of petals falling under the golden sunset may be deeply imprinted in her mind for the rest of her life, and she will never forget it until she dies.

But at this moment, Gu Qing suddenly reasoned with her, like the Hu traffickers in Dongshi gushing with her about how good and cheap their goods were sold, Zhang Huaiyu suddenly felt that he had changed from a dusty peerless pearl to a bundle of leeks sold on the roadside, and the psychological gap was very huge.

Where did this guy come from, he can destroy the good atmosphere in an instant.

Obviously, Zhang Huaiyu underestimated Gu Qing's ability to destroy the atmosphere.

This is not over, Gu Qing saw that Zhang Huaiyu was silent for a long time, as if he suddenly thought of something, he took out a bunch of bits and pieces from his arms, there was a dagger that Zhang Huaiyu gave him at the beginning, some snacks such as dried fruits and dried meat, and a large piece of silver cake, Gu Qing frowned and picked from this pile of bits and pieces for a moment, gritted his teeth and handed her the silver cake of about ten taels.

Zhang Huaiyu was stunned and stood still.

"Take it, a token of love." Gu Qing said chicly.

"You call this thing a token of love?" Zhang Huaiyu's three views were shattered.

"It's the most valuable thing on me, I can't give you a piece of dried fruit, can I? That would be rude, and it's prone to mold and spoilage. Gu Qing looked serious.

For some reason, Gu Qing felt that his image at the moment was very magnificent, and the domineering president in the TV series in his previous life launched a bank card in a dashing manner, and handed it to his beloved woman heroically, so that she could spend it casually.

Today is too hasty, next time prepare enough, fill a box of silver cakes and give it to her, I am very much looking forward to Zhang Huaiyu looking at herself with adoring eyes like a mentally handicapped girl, that scene may be more shocking than the rain in the sky.

Therefore, romance is better than waste.

Zhang Huaiyu was stunned for a long time, holding his forehead and moaning: "I, I...... The wound is a little painful and needs to be recuperated by going down the mountain. ”

"Okay, I'll send you down, slowly, accept the love token first, when do you think it's appropriate for the wedding date? I listen to you. ”

Zhang Huaiyu hesitated for a long time, looking hesitant.

What she hesitated was not whether to marry Gu Qing, but whether to beat him.

In fact, Gu Qing arranged all this with good intentions today, and she was already very moved.

Although Gu Qing's performance collapsed a little later, Zhang Huaiyu always endured it, and the happy scene of the petal rain just now still made her reminisce and couldn't extricate herself for a long time.

But Gu Qing's confident appearance was very annoying, as if she was sure that she had no choice but to marry him, especially when she actually regarded the silver cake as a token of love, without the words of a matchmaker, and without the permission of her parents, she actually urged her, the client, to ask when she would get married, so rude was really unbearable.

So, to beat it or not?

As soon as the petal rain stopped just now, he immediately rushed down the mountain, never listening to him say a word of nonsense, at least in his memories there were only red petals flying in the sky, and there was a young man standing under the cherry blossom tree, looking at her with gentle eyes...... The picture is perfect, without a single blemish.

Now, there are too many blemishes.

The more he thought about the petal rain just now, the more angry Zhang Huaiyu felt, and he hated Gu Qing for arranging everything and destroying everything.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Huaiyu decided to endure it.

The most memorable scene of this life appeared today, presumably today is an auspicious day of the zodiac. The auspicious day of the zodiac should not be reckless.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Huaiyu said, "I, I...... I don't want to marry you. ”

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and looked at her in disbelief: "Did you reject me?" ”

Zhang Huaiyu said with a straight face: "Yes." ”

"Why?"

Zhang Huaiyu said quietly: "Gu Qing, I know your mind, but I haven't seen your mind." ”

Gu Qing blurted out, "I ...... you"

Zhang Huaiyu suddenly interrupted him and said, "Gu Qing, don't say it now." ”

"Why?"

"It's not time yet."

"When is the time?"

Zhang Huaiyu's clear eyes stared at him fixedly, and said slowly: "Gu Qing, if you are a mediocre and ordinary man, I will promise you today." But you are destined not to be ordinary, so I want you to marry me in the future as a prince. ”

"If you're the one I'm meant to be, then do something for me. Feng Hou worships the general, holds the authority, and paves a smooth and smooth road for the common people, such a hero of the world, so that I Zhang Huaiyu is willing to give birth to children and children for him all his life. ”

"Gu Qing, I know you have ambitions, and since I met you, I have also had ambitions. My ambition is to help you achieve your ambitions. If you can promise me, I will wait for you, I will wait for many years, until death. ”

…………

Three days later, Gu Qing, Li Shiniang and others left Shiqiao Village and embarked on the road back to Chang'an.

Feng Aweng led the villagers to send them off until they were sent to Qingcheng County before reluctantly going back.

Zhang Huaiyu didn't send him off as usual, and she didn't even go out of the house.

When Gu Qing and the others left the entrance of the village, Zhang Huaiyu was still sitting under the eaves in a daze, listening to the movement outside, and playing with a ten-tael silver cake in his hand with a confused expression.

Her eyes were already red, Zhang Huaiyu wanted to cry, and even more wanted to rush out of the door desperately, let Gu Qing take her away, and then tell him what princely identity and what scenery to marry, in fact, everything is not important.

The so-called conditions are just an incentive to urge this man to forge ahead, what she wants is not a prince and a lady at all, but this man's white head.

Xiu'er hurriedly ran in, and when she saw Zhang Huaiyu sitting under the eaves in a daze, Xiu'er was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "Brother Gu is leaving, why don't you go out to see him?" You should go with him! ”

Zhang Huaiyu came back to his senses and smiled sadly: "I can't see him." ”

"Why?"

"I'm afraid that the love of children will wear down his spirit, and I am afraid that I will become a drag on him. In the officialdom, I can't help him, and he should be like a lonely wolf, fighting and biting people without worry, and realizing his ambitions step by step, so when he goes to Chang'an, he shouldn't have me by his side. ”

"Besides, I can't give up here, Shiqiao Village is his only way out, I want to help him guard it."

…………

Gu Qing and Li Twelve Niang rode in the same carriage. The two were still not healed from their injuries and had to travel in a carriage.

The carriage was covered with a thick mattress to try to slow down the bumps and vibrations, Gu Qing lay on the mattress, and Li Shiniang meditated cross-legged.

Gu Qing was not in a good mood, he was silent along the way, Li Twelve Niang didn't pay attention to him, and the two kept quiet all the way from Qingcheng County to Bazhou.

After finding an inn to rest for the night, he continued to set off the next day, and Gu Qing was still silent.

Li Twelve Niang couldn't stand it anymore, and sighed: "Huaiyu didn't reject you, she is inspiring you, can't you see it?" ”

Gu Qing said listlessly: "Of course I can see it, but her requirements are too high, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to meet them." ”

"Is it very demanding to be a prince?" Li Twelve Niang showed a smile in her eyes: "For you, I don't think it's high, maybe you can reach it in a year or two." ”

Gu Qing looked at her in amazement: "Aunt Li, who gave you the confidence to have so much confidence in me." Since Gaozong, how difficult it is for the Tang Dynasty to be crowned marquis, after the opening of the Yuan Dynasty, the Son of Heaven has intentionally or unintentionally reduced many titles, and many descendants of the founding princes have decreased with the successive generations of titles, after all, they have only official positions, and there is no title, the title of the Son of Heaven is so strict, how can I do it? ”

Li Twelve Niang said leisurely: "I still say the same thing, for you, it is not difficult to be a marquis, you are a person with great luck, what others can't do, it doesn't mean that you can't do it." ”

Gu Qing sighed helplessly: "I'll try my best, if I can't be a marquis in this life, I can only die alone." ”

Li Twelve Niang looked at him funny: "How long have you liked Huaiyu?" ”

Gu Qing thought for a while and said, "Not long after, I went back to Qingcheng County this time and found out that I liked her. ”

"I've known each other for so long, why did I like her when I came back this time?"

Gu Qing said with a blurred gaze: "Perhaps, it is her persistence, or perhaps, it is her silent dedication to me for so long." That day, I lay in the house with her to recuperate, quietly watching the drizzle outside, and I suddenly realized that it was not bad to live this life with her like this, and I was even a little looking forward to it......"

"Then, I heard a voice in my heart saying that I had to be involved in this woman in my life, so I asked her for a kiss."

Li Twelve Niang sighed faintly: "I really envy your youthful spirit, do whatever you think of immediately, no matter whether there is a result or not, it will not live up to a life." If I had been braver......"

Then Li Twelve Niang smiled bitterly: "It's useless to be brave, he can't accommodate other women in his eyes, a hundred flowers compete for beauty, he only loves one." ”

Gu Qing smiled: "Since he has no intention of appreciating the flowers, why shouldn't Aunt Li bloom for other belovers?" The flowering period is short, so don't waste it. ”

Li Twelve Niang glared at him and said, "At this point, you are not as good as your father." I find you to be an amorous, maybe you don't realize it, but I can see it. Let me ask you, since you love Huaiyu, what about Huaijin in Chang'an? ”

Gu Qing was stunned: "What does it have to do with the third brother?" ”

Li Twelve Niang snorted coldly: "I don't believe you can't see Huaijin's heart for you, or rather, are you pretending not to see it?" ”

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The third brother is just not deeply involved in the world, just impulsively, the little girl's love comes and goes quickly, and she really loses." ”

Li Twelve Niang said coldly: "I'm also from here, I can't see that she is impulsive." The little girl is afraid that you are deeply rooted, although she has a lively temperament, but she is also a person who admits death, once she recognizes that you are a good person, she will never give up easily, and the Zhang family does not know what evil has been created, and the two sisters are moved by you......"

Gu Qing smiled bitterly: "Inexplicably, I was sandwiched between the two sisters, and it was obviously me who caused the evil......

Li Twelve Niang sighed: "Gu Qing, love is also a catastrophe, you have to be careful, don't mislead people for life." ”

Gu Qing responded silently, but he was helpless in his heart.

I am single in two lives, and my hand speed can be called the king, I have never been in love, but I didn't expect that this life will become a fragrant glutton, am I too good or a girl in this era is too blind?

Gu Qing quickly left Zhang Huaijin behind, in his eyes, Zhang Huaijin was just a simple little girl, and the little girl's love and hatred were like tropical showers in summer, coming and going quickly.

Maybe when he sees her again in Chang'an, she will rush over and hug her fists with a good face, and call him second brother enthusiastically.

This is the correct way to open between brothers, Gu Qing thinks she is a brother, but she wants to sleep with a brother, which is too much.

After walking on the road for half a month, Gu Qing, Li Shiniang and others finally returned to Chang'an.

After a long journey, those heroes also said goodbye and returned home one after another on the way, and when they returned to Chang'an, there were only a few guards left around Gu Qing and Li Shiniang, including Li Guangbi's family and Zhang's family.

After entering the city, the guards led the horse to say goodbye to him with a lot of scars, Gu Qing had mixed feelings in his heart, and solemnly saluted the guards, who were quite sad and returned the salute with red eyes.

Gu Qing didn't go home after entering the city, and first came to Li Guangbi's mansion with the surviving guards.

Li Guangbi personally greeted him out of the house, laughed with Gu Qing, and saw that there were only a few people left in his own guards, Li Guangbi looked stunned, and then seemed to understand something, sighed gloomily, and patted the guards on the shoulders hard.

The guards fell to their knees and shed tears in silence.

Gu Qing bowed his head with great guilt and said, "Uncle Li, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for your personal brothers......"

Li Guangbi said with a strong smile: "The general will inevitably die in battle, since he is ordered to come out, life and death are their own lives, and I don't blame you." ”

After ordering the guards to retreat and settle down, Li Guangbi pulled Gu Qing into the hall, and after retiring all the subordinates, Li Guangbi crossed his legs and stroked his beard, and said with a serious expression: "Your affairs in Qingcheng County, the Son of Heaven and the court have already known. ”
