Chapter 160: The Marriage Line
On the way back, Su Mian pondered all the way, and Mid-Autumn Festival couldn't help but say, "I ...... just now I see you have pressed the silver under the bowl. β
I didn't expect that what I was doing would be discovered, Gu Zhao's expression paused slightly, and it looked a little unnatural.
I knew this kid was going to have that on his face!
Sure enough, as long as you find a way to get along with this kind of tsundere, you will find many interesting things!
Satisfying the strange desire to explore in his heart, Su Mian opened his mouth and praised: "You did a good job, I thought you wouldn't feel anything after watching it." β
"How?" Gu Zhao retorted to her without hesitation: "Although the country and the people are safe at the moment, but not everyone can have no worries about food and clothing, I still have a lot to do." β
He was a little old, and he didn't speak in the same tone as a sixteen-year-old boy should be.
"Tired?" Su Mian suddenly asked.
"What did you say?" Gu Zhao was stunned for a moment, and his footsteps stopped.
Su Mian smiled, looked at him and asked with a serious expression, "I said, do you feel tired?" β
Gu Zhao has not had a good life since he was a child, and after being supported by Gu Zhixing to the throne, he has been learning all kinds of things every day in order to make himself a powerful king.
From a man who didn't know what to say in the face of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, to Gu Zhao, who has become able to handle all kinds of things with ease today, no one has ever asked, he is not tired.
Tired, how can it not be tired.
But this is his fate, perhaps a fate that has been determined since birth.
After a moment of silence, he continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "I'm not tired." β
Knowing that he must be reckless, Su Mian immediately chased after him and retorted: "How can you not be tired? I get tired just looking at your whole bunch of notes every day, not to mention the fact that I have to review each one of them and deal with all sorts of other things. β
"That's what I'm supposed to do." Gu Zhao replied seriously.
Sighing in his heart, Su Mian's tone became a little helpless: "Of course I know, these are what you should do, but I just want to say, you don't have to be so tight, it's okay to feel tired occasionally, if you want to take a break one day, come to me, I can take you to do experiments, or teach you to make fireworks, what do you think?" β
The bottom of his heart moved slightly, and Gu Zhao only felt that there seemed to be some warm feeling passing through his heart, which he hadn't felt for a long time.
There was a slight smile in his eyes that he didn't even notice, and he was silent for a long time before he said lightly: "Say it again." β
Knowing that he said "say it again" meant that he would consider this matter, Su Mian's expression was a little relieved for a while.
Look, I've long said that if you treat someone with sincerity, you will definitely get a response!
Gu Zhao, a stinky boy, has softened a lot more than his previous attitude towards me, but he doesn't want to admit it!
With a feeling of joy in her heart, Su Mian only felt that everything she saw was very pleasing to the eye for a while, and as soon as she entered the city gate and walked not far away, she stared at the vendor selling sugar gourds not far away.
"It's a sugar gourd! Do you eat or not? Su Mian pointed to the front with a somewhat excited expression.
As she spoke, Gu Zhao saw two children about three or four years old running over from not far away with two strings of sugar gourds, and immediately refused: "Childish." β
"What's so naΓ―ve about eating? I can eat it if I like it. Su Mian replied dissatisfiedly, and without saying a word, he ran forward directly, gave the vendor a few copper plates, and then picked two of the largest and roundest sugar gourds and ran back.
"I ...... I don't want to. "You don't have to guess to know that the other one must be for yourself, and Gu Zhao didn't want to refuse it directly.
Walking around the street with a sugar gourd really made him feel a little ...... Lose face.
Su Mian didn't care about this, seeing that he refused to continue, he instantly took his hand with lightning speed, and when he didn't react, he stuffed the sugar gourd into his hand, and then jumped a little faster.
"It's yours in your hands, you can throw it away if you don't want to eat it, but it's too wasteful!" She said deliberately loudly.
Many people around were attracted by her, looked towards this place, and saw the young man standing in the middle of the road with a sugar gourd at a loss, and they all showed a kind smile.
Gu Zhaochang was so old and had never felt so embarrassed like now, so he had to glare at Su Mian angrily and strode forward.
Su Mian accepted it when he saw it, hurriedly sped up two steps and followed, looking at his somewhat unhappy look, he couldn't help but tease him: "Just taste it and see, haven't you eaten this for many years?" β
Gu Zhao's heart moved slightly by what she said, and he subconsciously looked at the round red thing in his hand.
Since the death of the mother...... I don't think I've ever eaten anything like this......
"Taste it...... It's really delicious! Think of it as a reminiscence of when you were a child! Su Mian continued to persuade without giving up.
She could see that Gu Zhao didn't dislike it.
After hesitating for a long time, Gu Zhao frowned slightly, looked at Su Mian with some disgust and said, "It's ...... noisy."
As he spoke, he looked a little impatient and bit off a sugar gourd from the top, pretending to take a bite because he didn't want to listen to Su Mian continue to chatter. 118
The hawthorn in the mouth is sweet and sour, wrapped in a thin sugar coating, and it is indeed a taste that I haven't tasted for a long time.
Carefully savoring the feeling in his mouth, Gu Zhao couldn't help but think of the scene when his mother held a sugar gourd to tease him when he was a child.
Why do you always think about your mother every time you stay with Su Mian, a stupid woman?
Gu Zhao's eyes flickered for a moment, and his heart was slightly soft.
The two of them walked on the street for a while, Su Mian was interested at this time, looking at the jewelry for a while, and looking at the vase decoration for a while, and having fun along the way.
Seeing that she was shopping happily, Gu Zhao did not disappoint her and followed her quietly.
In a teahouse not far away, Liu Ce was sitting by the window, quietly listening to the piano and tasting tea.
"Look, my lord...... Is that the emperor? The attendant with him was standing by the window, and he had already stared at the street downstairs for a long time, and almost as soon as Su Mian and Gu Zhao appeared, he recognized the person.
"Your Majesty?" Liu Ce was stunned for a moment, hurriedly stood up, and paced to the bedside.
Downstairs, Su Mian was carefully selecting a few bracelets in front of a stall where she bought flower ropes, and behind her was Gu Zhao with an expressionless face.
"These ropes are worth your choice for so long?" Seeing that she hadn't picked the right one for a long time, Gu Zhao simply took out her money bag, intending to buy everything and let her go back and pick it slowly.
Although he felt that he didn't like Su Mian, Gu Zhao also knew that there was no reason to let the woman's family pay for it when they went out together.
Su Mian was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt a little crying and laughing.
is worthy of being an uncle and nephew, why do I think Gu Zhao's current action of taking out money is exactly the same as Gu Zhixing?
Hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and Su Mian explained: "Of course, this kind of thing only makes sense to pick your favorite, and if you buy more, it's not interesting." β
"That's what the girl said!" The stall owner immediately chimed in: "This marriage rope naturally has to pick your favorite!" β
"Marriage rope?" Su Mian looked at the colored rope in his hand and was slightly stunned.
The stall owner immediately nodded mysteriously: "I don't know about this, it seems that the girl is not our Western Sage, this marriage rope is also called the marriage line, if the girl has a sweetheart and it is not easy to say, then buy a tie on the wrist for him to see, in order to show his heart, if the person is also interested in the girl, he will buy an identical one, and then tie the rope of the two people together on the concentric tree of the Yuelao Temple in the south of the city, and it will not be separated for the rest of his life." β
I see......
But the relationship between himself and Gu Zhixing now ...... You don't need anything like that, do you?
Su Mian nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Gu Zhao and asked, "You knew what this was just now, why didn't you remind me?" β
"I thought you knew, you wanted to buy it on purpose." Of course, Gu Zhao didn't know what kind of caution she had in her heart, and when she was going to believe these folk nonsense, she pulled Gu Zhixing to tie some marriage line.
"Does the girl have a picture? Or pick a few colors at random, and I'll make one up for the girl on the spot. The stall owner saw Su Mian's tangled look, and thought that she had not chosen the right one.
Knowing what this colored rope is used for, where does Su Mian dare to buy it again.
Obedient...... If Gu Zhixing knew that I bought this kind of thing, he would impulsively propose to me on the spot!
I won't buy it!
"No need, I won't buy it, thank you boss......" smiled at the stall owner a little embarrassedly, Su Mian quickly turned his head and continued to walk forward.
Gu Zhao's eyes flashed with a hint of puzzlement, but he didn't say much.
Anyway, tying a rope can not separate the whole life, this kind of thing is originally a lie to children.
Upstairs, watching the two of them walk away, Liu Ce sighed, turned around and sat back at the low table in the room.
The tea in the cup had already cooled, and he was not in the mood to continue tasting tea.
"My lord, didn't you say that the emperor was very repulsive to that Su Mian, but why did he ...... it" The attendant beside Liu Ce looked a little puzzled.
With a leisurely sigh, Liu Ce shook his head slowly, and a dark light slipped under his eyes.
It was true that Gu Zhao was very repulsive to Su Mian at first, but now he ...... Not necessarily.
Su Mian's little girl has two brushes, and she can make Gu Zhao willing to go out of the palace with her in such a short time......
Seemingly...... It's time for me to go into the palace to find out.
If Gu Zhao was really won over by her, then he would ...... It's time to find a way to get rid of this woman who is in the way.
and the one who is high and invincible...... Regent.
This Western Sage will one day be in his pocket.
