Chapter 21 De-escalation
On the day when Gu Tianyuan, Marquis of Zhenyuan, returned to the court, both sides of the streets of Shengjing City were bustling, scrambling to witness the heroic posture of Marquis Zhenyuan, and most of the women were vying to see General Chen Xiao.
General Chen's name is Chen Yuan, the second son of the king of Yunnan, although he is a concubine, but this General Chen Xiao is a promising, and he has already made great achievements at a young age. What's more, he is not only strong in martial arts, brave and strategic, but also very handsome, the little general is eighteen years old this year, he is in his youth, he has no wife and concubine, and he is also the dream lover of a woman in Shengjing City.
"Miss, Miss, it's the master and General Chen." Ziyu's sharp eyes saw the tall figure riding a horse, slender and straight, with an extraordinary bearing, but it was Gu Tianyuan, the general of the Zhenguo Kingdom.
Gu Qingwan stood in the crowd and nodded her toes and beckoned to her father and Chen Yuan, Gu Tianyuan saw her with sharp eyes, his expression froze at first, he didn't expect her to wait for him on the street in person, which reminded him of the small group she saw in the crowd on the way back when she was a child, and now in a blink of an eye, the little girl has grown into a big girl, he is such a daughter, naturally the baby is tight, she used to be the most obedient and sensible, thinking of this, his expression gradually eased, and beckoned to her from afar. Chen Yuan, who was beside him, followed his line of sight, and at the moment he turned his head, he happened to look at her from a distance, Gu Qingwan raised a bright smile at him, and waved his hand at him, he greeted her from a distance.
Chen Yuan's eyesight is excellent, and he saw the girl who greeted him in the crowd from a distance, she was wearing a pretty pink skirt, tied in a fashionable bun in Shengjing City, the tassels on the hairpin trembled on her head, and she was even more playful and beautiful, when she beckoned, the long sleeves slipped down to reveal a snow-white wrist, and the jade bracelet on it swayed gently on her wrist, which was particularly pleasing to the eye, and the smile on her face was dazzling, so that he couldn't help but laugh with her.
This reminded him of the scene of the first meeting, when he followed his master to Shengjing City, to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, the six-year-old female doll with two small pigtails, wearing a pink and beautiful skirt, stood beside the master obediently, the master pointed to him and said to the female doll, "Wan'er, this is the second brother of your Chen family, hurry up and meet the second brother." ”
The little girl timidly called him "second brother", her voice was soft and sweet, coupled with her fleshy little face and big eyes, she was very cute.
Now eight years have passed, and the cute little girl who seems to have come out of the New Year's picture has now grown into a slim and beautiful girl.
They used to be childhood sweethearts, grew up together, and worked together to deal with many crises. At that time, whether it was the sword and sword, the bloody battlefield, or the dark and dirty court, he always had her by his side.
Watching them leave, Gu Qingwan also took Ziyu back to the house to wait for her father, according to the rules, her father would go to the palace first and then come back.
As soon as she arrived in her yard, Zilan greeted her, "Miss, the eldest lady is back, and she is now in the old lady's yard." ”
The eldest lady in Zilan's mouth is her father's continuation of the Liu family, the Liu family is the daughter of the generals under Gu Tianyuan, and she is also the daughter of the general, after the death of her mother, the old lady has been forcing Gu Tianyuan to continue the string, Gu Tianyuan chose the Liu family he knows, the Liu family admires him, and knows the roots, I believe that she will not treat her daughter harshly. And the Liu family is indeed gentle and kind, she loves Gu Tianyuan wholeheartedly, and even insists on following him to Huizhou.
Originally, the Liu family was supposed to be in charge of the power of the master mother in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, but the young Gu Qingwan listened to the instigation of the Lu family and resisted the Liu family very much, so the Liu family followed Gu Tianyuan to Huizhou. Thinking about it now, Gu Qingwan felt that she was really stupid, and after listening to the Lu family's provocation, she let the power of the family fall into the hands of the Lu family.
Gu Qingwan took Zilan Ziyu to the old lady's courtyard, and as soon as she entered, she saw the old lady chatting with the Liu family.
"Wan'er is here, come and see your mother." When the old lady saw her, she smiled and beckoned her to come over. The old lady actually didn't like Liu very much, thinking that she was wooden and did not have the majesty of being a housewife. However, this Liu is a good-minded person, not like the Lu family, who can't tolerate people at all, and has always done his best to treat Wan'er.
After seeing Gu Qingwan, Liu's face obviously began to be unnatural.
Gu Qingwan smiled and saluted, "I've seen my grandmother, I've seen my mother." ”
Liu looked at her with some surprise, in the past, when Liu came back, Gu Qingwan never gave her a good look, either ignored her, or sneered, which made Liu and her father very embarrassed, Liu tried to avoid her when he saw her before. He had been treated by Gu Qingwan's sweet mother.
"Wan'er, it's rare for your father to come back, you have to be sensible."
"Wan'er obeys her grandmother's teachings." Gu Qingwan naturally knew that the old lady was warning her not to cause trouble, of course she had to be sensible, and she had to get along well with the Liu family.
Gu Qingwan stepped forward to sit next to Liu, naturally took Liu's arm, and said with a smile: "Mother, I haven't seen my mother lose weight for a year, isn't it very bitter in Huizhou?" Wan'er hopes that her mother can stay and spend more time with Wan'er this time. ”
Liu's body stiffened for a moment, looking flattered, and replied solemnly: "It's not bitter, I'm very happy to be able to accompany Hou Ye." ”
Liu's father is just a micro general guarding the border passes, she is not a noble daughter living in Shengjing City, she has lived with her father in Huizhou since she was a child, learned some martial arts with her father, and has also been on the battlefield to kill the enemy. Later, she met Gu Tianyuan, knowing that he had already married a wife, and knowing that he was in love with his wife, but she still couldn't help but like him. For him, she was reluctant to marry, thinking that she would bury her love for him forever in her heart, when she lived a lifetime alone, she never thought that God would make people, his beloved wife died in childbirth at a young age, and her mother forced him to continue. That was the first time she took the initiative to ask him, and she said that she was willing, she was willing to be his successor, and she would take good care of him and his children.
Maybe it was because she was woody by nature, dull and boring, she didn't please Gu Qingwan, she didn't expect that little girl to resist her like that and hate her. No matter how hard she tried to get close to her, she was like a little hedgehog, and every time she saw her, she would erect sharp thorns to prevent her from approaching. Since she hates her, the only thing she can do is stay away from her.
But when I came back this time, everything was different. Gu Qingwan's change in attitude towards her made her feel like a dream, incredible, unbelievable, but she had been looking forward to it for a long time.
