Chapter 201: I'll Call Him Brother Gu in the Future (One Change)
Shen Bai got into the carriage with his skirt and sat opposite Gu Hengzhou.
From the outside, the carriage was quite wide, but Gu Hengzhou had long hands and long feet, and after Shen Bai sat down, he felt that the space was a little narrow, and subconsciously wanted to stretch out his legs, and as soon as he raised his eyes to Gu Hengzhou's deep eyes, Shen Bai's movements stiffened, and he obediently withdrew his legs.
Yes, you have to behave in front of Brother Gu.
Gu Hengzhou is wearing a silver-gray embroidered pine needle brocade robe today, the material is the best Su brocade, and the pattern should be double-sided embroidery, low-key and exquisite, but the color is cold, which makes his whole person look more and more difficult to get along with.
Before going out, Shen Bai knew that Gu Hengzhou had sent a lot of gifts to the Taifu Mansion during this time, but when he saw him at this time, not only did he not have any warmth at all, but he also didn't want to deal with her.
Shen Bai secretly rolled his eyes, since he didn't want to deal with her, what did he do when he came to pick her up early in the morning?
Shen Bai didn't care about Hengzhou's breath, the carriage drove forward for a while, listening to the noisy shouting outside, Shen Bai couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going today?" β
Gu Hengzhou said: "You'll know when you arrive." β
Short and forceful, I don't want to say more than a word at all.
Shh
The master also has a temper, okay, the master let you coax you before because the master likes you, and the master doesn't like you now, if you put a face on the master, the master won't do it!
Shen Bai slandered, the smile on his face was also restrained, he raised his eyes and looked at Gu Hengzhou and said: "Yesterday I went home and heard that Lujian said that you sent me a lot of things, anyway, we will dissolve the marriage contract in the future, I can't use those things, let people return them to the Guogong Mansion first, lest the people in my yard accidentally break things." β
In terms of the ability of angry people, no one dares to admit that Shen Bai admits the second.
After she finished speaking, the aura around Gu Hengzhou's body became more and more cold, his thin lips pursed, and his eyebrows were slightly raised.
It was the first time for Shen Bai to contradict Gu Hengzhou like this, but in fact, he was quite bottomless in his heart, seeing that he couldn't bear it, Shen Qi let go of Shen Bai's arm and flew to the middle of the carriage, glared at Gu Hengzhou and said, "Don't bully my mother!" β
His little milk voice has no deterrent effect at all, Gu Hengzhou reached out and grabbed the back of his neck and dragged him into his arms, Shen Qi struggled a few times and couldn't break free, Gu Hengzhou looked at him with lowered eyes, and said lightly: "If you don't want it, throw it away." β
This tone sounded like the Guogong Mansion had a lot of money, and he didn't care about the thousands of taels of jewelry.
Shen Bai was about to refute, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside the carriage, and the next moment, the curtain was lifted, Zhou Jue's face came into view, he lifted the curtain from Gu Hengzhou's side, the first thing he saw was Shen Bai, and he immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you in the car?" β
"Why don't I get you in the car?" Shen Bai immediately asked, Gu Hengzhou quietly pressed Shen Qi in his arms, Zhou Jue ignored Shen Bai, and said to Gu Hengzhou: "I still want to visit Brother Gu, aren't you still injured, why don't you rest well, and go out to the banquet like this?" β
Gu Hengzhou stiffened his face and was silent, Shen Bai saw that the wind poured in, blowing the tips of his hair slightly, and immediately said to Zhou Jue: "You all know that Brother Gu has injuries on his body, don't hurry up and put down the curtain, pig brains, you." β
"You're a pig!"
Zhou Jue retorted, but he was not so naΓ―ve and angry with Shen Bai, and obediently put down the curtain.
Shen Qi had already settled down, Gu Hengzhou lowered his eyes and touched the fetal hair on the top of Shen Qi's head, the temperature around him warmed up for some reason, and after a while, he whispered: "The matter between me and you is too unbelievable, if you want to break the marriage contract, you need to find a suitable time, before that, you still have to get along with me as before, so as not to make people notice that there is something wrong and cause more trouble." β
This is to ask Shen Bai to accompany him to act.
This request was not difficult for Shen Bai, but she was curious: "How did I get along with you before?" Are these times any different? β
In Shen Bai's impression, she and Gu Hengzhou are almost like this in the upper and lower lives, he always looks cold and doesn't care about anything, Shen Bai is a little hot and cold to him, she doesn't plan to get used to him, but as soon as she sees him cold, she still breaks the gong, so Shen Bai doesn't feel any difference.
Gu Hengzhou's movements paused slightly, and he said softly: "Since you came back from Nanxiang, you have never called me Brother Gu. β
ββ¦β¦β
Shen Bai was stunned, he didn't expect Gu Hengzhou to be called this accountant.
Her expression was a little unnatural, and she looked away and said, "You are indeed not Brother Gu." β
Gu Hengzhou pursed his lips and stopped talking, the atmosphere in the carriage slowly became dull, Shen Bai secretly glanced at Gu Hengzhou, and inexplicably felt that he looked a little aggrieved.
With such a face, Shen Bai really couldn't see Gu Hengzhou showing such an expression.
And she was the one who had to provoke people at the beginning, and she was naturally at fault.
Shen Baili was not upright or weak, and said cowardly: "Okay, in front of other people, I will still call you Brother Gu in the future." β
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped, the guards helped lift the curtain, Shen Bai got out of the carriage with his skirt, and then turned around and asked Gu Hengzhou: "Brother Gu, do you want me to help you?" β
Gu Hengzhou didn't speak, just raised his hand.
Shen Bai understood and helped help him out of the carriage, stepped on the mat to get out of the carriage first, and then helped Gu Hengzhou out of the carriage.
After getting off the car, Shen Bai found that the carriage passed through the downtown and came to the Miaoxin Lake in the north of the city, which is the largest lake in the city.
Zhou Jue rode a horse and followed the carriage, waited for Shen Bai to help Gu Hengzhou out of the car, and immediately walked over, Xianzai carefully looked at Gu Hengzhou for a long time, and said with a sigh of relief: "I just returned to Beijing when I heard that Brother Gu was injured, I knew that there would be turmoil in Lingzhou, so I would come back later, maybe I can help Brother Gu a little, and it won't get so serious." β
Gu Hengzhou said: "It's more important to rush back to Beijing to recover your life, you did the right thing." β
Gu Hengzhou said lightly, Zhou Jue touched the tip of his nose and said, "This thing is also strange, how could you suddenly plant your horse at that time, Brother Gu?" But who drugged your food and tried to kill you? β
"This matter has been thoroughly investigated, no one wants to murder me, it is me who happened to have some physical problems at that time." Gu Hengzhou said in a deep voice, stopping Zhou Jue from continuing to diverge his thinking and speculation.
When Shen Bai went out today, he still saw the sun, and when he arrived at the lake, the sun was covered by clouds, and the cold wind was slow, Gu Hengzhou was still a little uncomfortable, but he held Shen Bai's hand, and his body was slightly inclined towards Shen Bai.
Hearing Zhou Jue say this, Shen Bai became more and more ashamed, if it weren't for that Lingmeng, Gu Hengzhou should not have been injured, so she was the one who indirectly injured Gu Hengzhou.
Not only did he hurt people, but he also had to break off the marriage contract with someone when he came back.
Phew, negative girl!
Shen Bai scolded himself silently, and reminded flatteringly: "Brother Gu, there are small stones on the road ahead, you should be careful." β
Gu Hengzhou snorted, and Zhou Jue rolled Shen Bai's eyes very unceremoniously: "The surname is Shen, you are enough, speak normally, it's disgusting." β
Shen Bai ignored him, and concentrated on helping Gu Hengzhou to walk forward, and when he was about to reach the first pavilion, a green-clothed maid came over and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness, Young Master Zhou, and Miss Shen, please come with the slaves." β
The green-clothed maid led them for a short walk by the lake, and walked for a quarter of an hour at the end of the month from a fork in the road paved with goose warm stones, and entered a small attic.
There was a charcoal fire burning in the small attic, full of warmth, and as soon as he entered the door, Gu Hengzhou's brows furrowed, and he coughed lightly with restraint.
The maid pushed open the door, and Wu Shouxin, Jiang Qinse, and Su Ying, the second lady of the Su family, were already sitting in the house.
The maid made a gesture of invitation, Shen Bai helped Gu Hengzhou to go in and sit down, and before saying hello, he poured a cup of hot tea and put it in front of Gu Hengzhou, and then sat down and swept around the house.
This loft is quite elegant, with windows on all sides, so you can look out over the lake when the weather is nice.
Shen Bai sat next to Su Ying, Gu Hengzhou sat next to her, followed by Zhou Jue and Wu Shouxin.
Shen Bai often participated in this kind of party when he was a man, but generally there were few young ladies from the family at the same table, and today's table is like three pairs of young people with marriage contracts going out to contact their feelings, if it is spread out, they will also be laughed at.
Everyone sat down, and Su Ying immediately asked Gu Hengzhou: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince was seriously injured in Lingzhou, and His Royal Highness the Prince of the World didn't look very good today, but the wound didn't recover well?" β
After Su Ying finished speaking, Zhou Jue immediately disagreed: "Your Majesty sent Imperial Doctor Zhang to Lingzhou to help Brother Gu with treatment, although Imperial Doctor Zhang is not the head of the hospital in Tai Hospital, but his medical skills are also excellent, Brother Gu is seriously injured, and it is normal for him to recover slowly, Miss Su Er should be cautious." β
Su Ying didn't take Zhou Jue's words to heart at all, and said confidently: "My eldest sister has excellent medical skills, and it is obvious to all in Beijing, I asked His Royal Highness the Prince like this, and I also wanted to make a contribution, if His Royal Highness the Prince is willing, I will go home today and talk about this matter in front of the eldest sister, and the eldest sister may be able to write a prescription to make His Royal Highness's injury heal faster." β
Speaking of Su Xiaoqiu, Zhou Jue was speechless all of a sudden, Su Ying was a little proud, and wanted to continue to persuade, Gu Hengzhou took a sip of tea and said lightly: "I am measured, I don't need Miss Su Er to bother." β
Su Ying didn't understand, and blurted out: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is healing faster, and he can return to Muzhou as soon as possible, doesn't His Royal Highness the Prince of the World want to go back to Muzhou?" β
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Jue and Wu Shouxin both changed their faces.
Outsiders don't know that Gu Hengzhou took the initiative to go to the imperial front to ask to give up the post of captain of Lingzhou and go to Muzhou instead, and they are still speculating why Emperor Hengde is separated from the Guogong Mansion, at this time Su Ying said that Gu Hengzhou does not want to return to Muzhou, isn't this indirectly saying that Gu Hengzhou is dissatisfied with Emperor Hengde?
Gu Hengzhou put down the teacup, the cold coercion spread, Su Ying finally noticed that something was wrong, and looked at Jiang Qinse for help, Jiang Qinse said softly: "Our daughter's family doesn't understand these official duties, if there is anything wrong, please forgive His Royal Highness the Prince and the two young masters, and today Sese invited everyone to gather here, mainly to invite a few people to be a witness." β
Witness? What testimonies?
Shen Bai raised his eyebrows, and saw Jiang Qinse standing up under the gaze of everyone, and walked in front of Shen Bai, there was no maid in the house to serve, Jiang Qinse personally poured a cup of tea, handed it to Shen Bai, and said softly: "Cersei had a bad temperament before, and he once slandered Miss Shen, and asked Miss Shen to have a lot, don't be as knowledgeable as Cersei." β
After speaking, Jiang Qin was furious, and half-squatted in front of Shen Bai respectfully, pouring tea and admitting his mistake very sincerely.
Shen Bai thought that he was talking to Zhou Jue and them today, but he didn't expect that he would become the protagonist after coming.
Shen Bai pondered carefully, she and Jiang Qinse didn't seem to have any head-on conflicts, at most, that time Ye Wanyu was on her birthday, Jiang Qinse watched the battle next to her and didn't help her speak, Miss Jiang didn't have any friendship with her, and it was normal not to help her speak.
Shen Bai stretched out his hand to take the tea, but Gu Hengzhou pressed his hand on the table, and asked faintly: "When did Miss Jiang slander my fiancΓ©e, why don't I know?" β
Shen Bai had learned the rules and knew that Jiang Qinse was the most tiring to squat like this, Gu Hengzhou didn't let her take the tea, and asked the ins and outs, which was a little embarrassing.
Jiang Qinse glanced at Gu Hengzhou unexpectedly, Su Ying now has a good relationship with Jiang Qinse, and whispered: "Sister Cerse has already apologized, why does His Royal Highness the Prince still want to get to the bottom of it?" β
Gu Hengzhou ignored Su Ying, and only looked at Jiang Qinse fixedly, Jiang Qinse had never been able to get off the stage like this, a flush of shame appeared on his face, but he still stood straight, and the tea in his hand did not shake in the slightest, and the demeanor of the noble lady of the family was fully displayed.
Jiang Qinse said: "Cersei's reputation was ruined before, although it was finally confirmed that it had nothing to do with Miss Shen, Cersei still couldn't control her resentment, after hearing that His Royal Highness the Prince was going to marry Miss Shen, she was confused for a while, so she said a little bad word about Miss Shen in the ear of Second Mrs. Gu, so that Second Mrs. Gu made things difficult for Miss Shen on the day of the birthday banquet and caused trouble. β
Shen Bai thought that Jiang Qinse was watching the excitement from the side, but he didn't expect her to talk behind her back and pout.
Miss Jiang is such a high-minded and arrogant character, if she hadn't said it herself, no one really thought that she could do such a thing.
Gu Hengzhou bent his fingers and tapped lightly on the table, thought for a moment and asked, "Miss Jiang covered up this matter with the sentence of 'causing trouble', do you know what kind of consequences have been caused?" β
Jiang Qinse squatted lower, buried his head, and said sincerely: "I know my mistake, and I ask His Royal Highness the Prince to forgive me." β
Su Ying also attended the banquet that day, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "What can be the consequences, Miss Shen is not a weak and powerless woman like us, at the banquet that day, she made Second Mrs. Gu very angry, even my mother and Mrs. Shangshu were counted by her, which is very powerful." β
Su Ying didn't feel that Shen Bai had suffered a loss, Gu Hengzhou's eyelids lifted, and his eyes were coldly nailed to Su Ying: "Miss Jiang sowed discord that day, causing this son's fiancΓ©e to be incompatible with her second aunt, and this son was forced to set up a house to set up her own door, so that the entire Hanjing people saw the joke, Miss Su Er felt that this consequence was not serious enough?" β
Su Ying was trembling when Gu Hengzhou saw it, and she was even more startled when she heard what he said, and asked sneeringly: "His Royal Highness the Prince has set up his own door?" β
The people in the second room didn't want to publicize this matter, and it just so happened that Gu Hengzhou went to Muzhou to take up his post again, and the news was tightly covered, and no one else knew.
At this time, Gu Hengzhou blew himself up, and Zhou Jue and Wu Shouxin were shocked.
The atmosphere was a little stiff because of this, Jiang Qinse's forehead was sweating, Su Ying wanted to say a few words for her, but she was shocked by Gu Hengzhou's majesty and didn't dare to say more.
After a while, Zhou Jue still couldn't stand it, kicked Gu Hengzhou's leg and said, "Okay, okay, for my sake, even if this matter is over, okay?" β
Gu Hengzhou didn't make a sound, and Zhou Jue looked at Shen Bai.
This person is Jiang Qinse's fiancΓ©, and it is normal to help Jiang Qinse, Shen Bai didn't hold the shelf too much, took the cup of tea and put it to his lips, and before he drank it, Gu Hengzhou snatched the cup of tea and put it on the table.
Jiang Qinse had already gotten up, and when he saw Gu Hengzhou like this, he wondered: "What does His Royal Highness the Prince mean?" β
Gu Hengzhou said lightly: "I had an accident in Lingzhou, although I didn't find any clues, I was more cautious about eating than before." β
After Gu Hengzhou finished speaking, no one else took out a silver needle to test the poison.
Jiang Qinse and Su Ying's faces were not very good-looking, but Zhou Jue echoed: "Brother Gu, you are still injured, you should be cautious." β
Gu Hengzhou tried it to be poisonous, but he didn't let Shen Bai drink that cup of tea, and directly poured a new one.
Zhou Jue was very arrogant, he didn't think there was anything, Jiang Qinse's face was not very good-looking.
Shen Bai didn't know why Gu Hengzhou was so abnormal today, and took the initiative to break the embarrassment and start the topic, except for Gu Hengzhou, the others were not people who didn't talk much, and the atmosphere was quickly mobilized.
The servants quickly delivered hot meals, Shen Bai chatted with them enthusiastically, but the action of picking vegetables for Gu Hengzhou never stopped, remembering that Gu Hengzhou was injured and couldn't eat spicy, Shen Bai deliberately picked some relatively light and healthy dishes for him.
Gu Hengzhou basically didn't speak, he ate whatever Shen Bai gave him, and he was afraid that he was injured, Zhou Jue and Wu Shouxin didn't persuade him to drink, but Shen Bai accompanied Jiang Qinse and Su Ying to drink several glasses of fruit wine.
The fruit wine was sweet and the strength was also very weak, Shen Bai didn't drink it well, but hooked out the gluttonous insects, and while no one was paying attention, she secretly poured herself a cup of pear blossom white and drank it like a thief.
After drinking, he turned his head and found that Gu Hengzhou didn't know when he stopped moving, so he just leaned back on the back of the chair and looked at her, his eyes were focused and restrained, and the pear blossom white that Shen Bai had just drunk instantly turned into heat and steamed to his face.
She took the wine glass and asked in a low voice, "Brother Gu, what's wrong?" β
This appearance reminded Gu Hengzhou of when she accompanied Zhou Deshan to drink after she was arrested and entered the lieutenant camp, and asked herself if she could drink.
At that time, she said that she had made a pact with him and promised him that he would not drink.
Now that I think about it, that agreement was made by her and another him.
There was a faint sourness in his chest, Gu Hengzhou directly picked up the pot of pear blossoms and put it in front of her, and said in a dumb voice: "If you like to drink, drink more, no one will stop you." β
The people at the table stopped moving, but they didn't expect that Gu Hengzhou would be silent for a long time, and finally persuade Shen Bai to drink.
Shen Bai's face was hot, and just when he wanted to deny it, he heard Gu Hengzhou say, "If you don't drink it today, don't drink it in the future." β
ββ¦β¦β
How did it turn into a one-shot deal?
Shen Bai bit his lip, and after struggling for a long time, he still gave in to his desires, and poured himself another glass.
Life must be happy, what is the meaning of not even being able to drink alcohol?
However, Shen Bai forgot that her current alcohol consumption was not comparable to that of the previous life.
After a few cups, her tongue began to knot, Gu Hengzhou grabbed her and stood up, and said calmly: "She's drunk, I'll send her back first." β
Zhou Jue: "......"
Brother Gu, wouldn't you bring your injuries to the banquet just to get this person drunk and bring him back?
