Chapter Twenty-Three: The First Encounter After Being Reborn
Since Gu Qingwan and her father contacted each other, the relationship between father and daughter has been very stable. Gu Qingwan's mood gradually improved, and she regained confidence in the future. She thought carefully about what she wanted to do in the future, and decided to enrich herself and make herself stronger gradually. She has put down too many things, and she must learn from scratch while she is still young.
She felt that she should hire a needlework master, Gu Qingwan was indeed a straw bag who did not learn and did not know how to do anything, and everything was just a little bit of learning. Later, Chen's father and son established a new dynasty, she married Chen Yuan and became the princess of Zheng, in order to help Chen Yuan, she spent a lot of time reading all kinds of obscure books on political affairs, afraid that the prince would harm Chen Yuan, she also focused on learning medical skills. Even if she later became the queen or even the queen mother, the affairs in the harem and court were enough for her to be busy, she didn't have time to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even the lame needlework was still a few days to make a purse for Chen Yuan.
In the past, what she regretted the most was that she only cared about playing and didn't learn anything in her spare girlhood, but now she naturally has to make up for it.
"Miss, where are you going now?" The calm and intelligent Zilan was guarding at home, and Gu Qingwan picked the lively Ziyu to follow her out.
"Go to the embroidery workshop to buy some needlework, and by the way, go to Wufangzhai to buy some pastries."
The place where the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion is located is the most prosperous business district in Shengjing, and what Gu Qingwan wants to go to is the most famous embroidery workshop in Shengjing. The silk threads and patterns here are the most popular and abundant nowadays. She was going to pick out some needlework patterns and go back and try them on herself. Prepare some gifts to make a good impression on the new needleworker, too.
She had already found her father yesterday and asked him to invite her a needlework master, as well as to invite Master Liu, who had been angry with her before, back.
Gu Qingwan first went to the embroidery workshop to pick up a lot of needlework, and then went to Wufangzhai. She used to love Wufangzhai's sweets the most, because Chen Yuan likes sweets, and every time Wufangzhai has a new sweet, he always buys a lot of things to share with her.
It's kind of a little secret between them. Because Chen Yuan's ancestral home is Sichuan Shu, others think that he likes spicy food like most Sichuan and Shu people. Only Gu Qingwan knew that before the age of six, Chen Yuan lived with his biological mother in Yangzhou, and liked sweet and spicy like most people living in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.
No one knows Chen Yuan's background and everything he has experienced better than her, although they have only been together for eleven years. Eleven years is too short for Gu Qingwan. Not long after the battle was over, she thought that it was a bittersweet end, that the years were quiet, but in the end she found that it was just a dream.
Chen Yuan, you still owe me a white-headed old man, and I am here to collect debts in this life.
Gu Qingwan got out of the carriage, and before she could take a few more steps, she heard a loud noise in front of her, only to see a horse in front of her rampage, running forward like crazy, and the person on the horse was holding the horse's neck and shouting loudly, "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! Pedestrians on the road dodged one after another, and there were even roadside stalls that were knocked to the ground by Crazy Horse, and for a while chickens and eggs were beaten, noisy and annoying.
In the midst of the noise, there was a little beggar in the middle of the road before he could dodge, the horse had already run at him, and seeing that the little beggar was about to die under the horse's hooves, but he didn't want to flash a vigorous figure out of nowhere, and when he looked at it, the owner of the figure had already subdued the crazy horse, and the little beggar was standing on the side of the road unharmed, his legs trembling, and his body trembling like a sieve, as if he had been frightened.
Gu Qingwan was stunned in place, watching the man lean over and give the little beggar a small bag of money, and touched his head, then stood in place and watched the little beggar leave. The man turned his back to her, leaving her with a back as tall as a pine bamboo.
The streets have returned to their former bustle, as if the episode had never happened. The various voices in Gu Qingwan's ears gradually faded away, and only the back could be accommodated in her eyes.
"Miss! Miss! Ziyu's voice pulled her thoughts back, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that she had already walked behind him, and they were so close that he could see her as soon as he turned around.
He probably heard Ziyu's voice calling for her, or maybe he had already felt her hot gaze, and he turned to look at her. Gu Qingwan tilted her head and stared at his face, her clear eyes were full of joy.
In front of her, there stood a tall young man in Xuanyi. The young man looked seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate and handsome face, revealing a noble demeanor and temperament all over his body. Although his face still has a hint of youthful immaturity, it is full of calm bearing. Under the thick sword eyebrows, a pair of eyes are deep and bright, as if they are the most brilliant stars in the night sky.
The current Chen Yuan is almost the same as the person in her memory, but he is younger and immature, and he does not have the scheming and strategy at that time.
He is not the iron-blooded emperor who is so powerful that he stepped on the throne with a lot of white bones, he is the unfavored concubine of the Chen family, and he is the young general who has already made great achievements on the battlefield at a young age and is eager to prove himself.
Gu Qingwan hid her emotions very well, and she looked at him with joy as usual. At that time, she was at the age when her love was beginning to bloom, and she only knew that she liked to get along with the Chen family brother who had spoiled her since she was a child, and she felt very secure to stay with him, and she was happy to see him. However, now Gu Qingwan knows very well that Chen Yuan has nothing to think of her at present, because she still has a marriage contract and a fiancé who has only met a few times from afar. After all, even now Gu Qingwan doesn't remember what her fiancé looks like.
It's a long story about her fiancé, Ji Han, the son of King Zhao, a famous son of a family in Shengjing City, is said to be handsome and extraordinary, like Pan An, and has long been famous, I don't know how many women's dream lovers, but unfortunately the engagement contract was young, and the girls who coveted him couldn't marry him. Later, I don't know how Gu Qingyue hooked up with this Ji Han, the two secretly Chen Cang, that Ji Han in order to divorce her, actually bought a batch of stinky Taoist priests, said that Gu Qingwan was a Kefu life, and let Princess Zhao withdraw from this family business. And at that time, the emperor had long been dissatisfied with the Marquis of Zhenyuan's military power, and had already begun to attack the Marquis of Zhenyuan, so Zhao Wangfu was afraid of causing trouble, so he used this excuse to withdraw from the marriage.
Originally, only a few people knew, but Gu Qingyue secretly spread this matter all over Kyoto in order to marry into Zhao Wangfu smoothly in the future, and Gu Qingwan's fate can be imagined, even if the Hou Mansion invited someone to resolve it later, it had no effect.
Since then, Gu Qingwan's reputation of being stinked by the Lu family mother and daughter has added another gram, even if she has seen the true face of the Lu family's mother and daughter, she has no power to return to the sky. When she thought she would die alone or marry off somewhere in a remote place, the killing of her family left her completely homeless, but thankfully, he didn't abandon her.
She will have to withdraw from her good marriage in the eyes of others sooner or later, but it is definitely not the humiliated and spurned retirement in her previous life.
