Chapter Eighty-Six: Playing Gu Detang
"Yingxue, look at how beautiful the scenery here is. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Shen Yan and Qiu Yingxue walked side by side to the most prestigious Xuanshui Lake in Jinling, looking at the handsome men and women who were in three or five shadows chanting poems together, talking about love, Shen Yan said to Qiu Yingxue with a smile.
The autumn breeze blows in the early morning, putting on a pleated skirt for the lake water of Xuanshui Lake, there are groups of fish swimming freely in the clear lake water, some of them are in groups of three or five, chasing and playing, like naughty children, some of the two fish are together, bumping the head and then touching the tail, some are alone, as if they have encountered something sad, and the boats on the lake are like pieces of leaves drifting in the wind.
"yes, it's beautiful." Following the direction of Shen Yan's finger, a faint and sweet smile appeared on the corner of Qiu Yingxue's mouth.
"Let's go, let's row a boat." Shen Yan's mood at the moment was very comfortable, and his heart was so beautiful that he couldn't help but think of boating on Xuanshui Lake, and without waiting for Qiu Yingxue to agree, he took Qiu Yingxue's little hand and ran towards the place where he was rafting.
The boat slowly moves along the wide lake, the water lily is planted near the water, the leaves are oval, floating on the water surface, the whole edge, the leaf base is heart-shaped, the leaf surface is dark green, the back is dark purple, the purple petals are shy to bloom all over the branches, with the breeze blowing across the water, like a girl holding a mirror to take a self-portrait, and she is ashamed to speak. The bright sunlight shines through the trees by the lake, sprinkling kisses like broken gold, the mottled shadows of the trees ripple on the lake, and a faint autumn breeze brings ripples on the water surface, constantly rotating.
Smelling the vague aroma of Qiu Yingxue beside him, Shen Yan felt itchy in his heart, as if a hundred claws scratched his heart. couldn't help but reach out and gently stroked Qiu Yingxue's smooth forehead.
"Brother Shen, you?" The moment she saw Shen Yan touching her forehead, Qiu Yingxue suddenly felt crimson, a trace of annoyance and shame appeared in her eyes, and she glanced at Shen Yan gently.
"I'm sorry, Yingxue, you are so beautiful at this moment, I can't help but have a trace of admiration." The corners of Shen Yan's mouth kept saying some sweet words, and there was a faint sense of defensiveness when he fell into Qiu Yingxue.
"Brother Shen, I don't blame you for being frivolous, it's just that I haven't prepared for this yet." A faint hint of charm appeared in the corners of Qiu Yingxue's eyes, and the crimson on her innocent face was like the red glow in the sky, so beautiful.
"I know I'm abrupt." Shen Yan took Qiu Yingxue's little hand and stroked it gently, a trace of tenderness appeared in his eyes, and he let the boat sway gently with the wind.
Last night's hand-holding made Shen Yan and Qiu Yingxue determine each other's hearts and emotions, and today's hand-holding made Qiu Yingxue's dependence on Shen Yan in her heart a little more, and there was also a sweet desire in her heart.
"Let's go, it's not too late, it's time to go up for lunch." Shen Yan took Qiu Yingxue's little hand and sat on the boat for a morning, letting the wind gently blow the boat, and absentmindedly admiring the beautiful scenery of Xuanshui Lake.
"Yo, isn't this Miss Qiu? Why did you have a tryst with your lover today? Shen Yan and Qiu Yingxue had just pulled over the boat when a slightly arrogant voice came from their ears, "I originally thought that Miss Qiu was a pure-hearted person, but it turned out that she was so wild in her heart. ā
"I don't know where a wild dog barked, and the good mood was ruined by the barking of the dog when he landed." Hearing that someone maliciously slandered Qiu Yingxue, the corners of Shen Yan's eyebrows jumped slightly, and he glanced at Qiu Yingxue with warmth in his eyes to show comfort, and then looked at the young man who slandered Qiu Yingxue with cold eyes.
"Boy, who are you scolding for being a dog?" When the young man heard Shen Yan vaguely scolding himself as a wild dog, the fire in his heart burned inexplicably, and his eyes looked at Shen Yan coldly, eager to chop Shen Yan into meat sauce.
"Whoever barks is whoever." Shen Yan changed his cold eyes, a sly smile flashed in his eyes, he glanced at the young man lightly, and said gently.
"Boy, you're looking for death, do you know who I am, do you know who my father is?" There was a thick anger in the young man's eyes, and he looked at Shen Yan with a blue face.
"I'm not your mother, how do you know who your father is?" Shen Yan was a little funny in his heart, why do these second-generation officials like to ask others at every turn, do you know my father, he is really unproductive, he is a pit father.
"Boy, you dare to look down on me, you listen to me, my father is the official Shangshu Gu Chaoru." A hint of pride appeared on the young man's face, and he looked at Shen Yan coldly.
"Wait, isn't the official department Shangshu Lord Qiu Mu Baiqiu, when did he become Gu Chaoru, wasn't he transferred to Huaibei County as the governor, when did he transfer back?" Hearing that the other party was Gu Chaoru's son, and said that Gu Chaoru was still a minister, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, touched the back of his head, and deliberately pretended not to know anything.
"Stinky boy, it's not okay to make a slip of the tongue for a while, my father was transferred to a local position, but it is real power." There was a hint of panic in the young man's eyes, he was originally attracted by Qiu Yingxue's beauty and carried away, and he was caught by the other party by a slip of the tongue, "Boy, what, be afraid, get out of here if you're afraid, how can you be worthy of Miss Qiu by virtue of your identity as nothing." ā
"I'm afraid, I'm so afraid." Hearing the young man's words, Shen Yan patted his chest very cooperatively, pretending to be very scared, a trace of panic appeared in his eyes, and he looked at the other party lightly, "I know your father's name, I don't know what your name is?" ā
"Boy, I see that you are also quite good, listen up, this son is Gu Chaoru's fourth son Gu Detang. When I saw this son in the future, I avoided it from afar. A hint of arrogance appeared in the young man Gu Detang's expression, as if Shen Yan would roll away as soon as he heard his name.
"Gu Detang, I thought it was bone broth." Shen Yan's mouth rose slightly, and a faint sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"How dare you tease me." Seeing the playful look in Shen Yan's eyes, a trace of annoyance appeared in Gu Detang's eyes, and his eyes stared at Shen Yan viciously.
"Teasing? Why am I playing with you? You're not a puppet, you're not a street acrobatic monkey, how could I play you? You must have misheard, or you didn't get a good night's rest last night and didn't hear clearly. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and a faint hint of provocation appeared in his eyes.
"Boy, where are you messing around, you dare to laugh at knowing the identity of this son." Gu Detang's eyes showed a trace of doubt, and looked at Shen Yan coldly, Gu Detang suddenly saw Qiu Yingxue looking at Shen Yan with a smile on his face and mocking himself, and he couldn't help but have a bad feeling in his heart, the other party won Qiu Yingxue's heart, and he also knew his father's movements, proving that the other party had some identities, or that there was a family member in the court.
Thinking of this, a trace of hesitation flashed in Gu Detang's eyes, no matter how big the real power of the place is, it is not as good as being an official in the court.
