Chapter 182: Again and again
Without waiting for Liu Mengyan to react, Guo Yuqi pushed the person in.
And Guo Zitao was already sitting inside.
Liu Mengyan didn't stand firm and almost fell, Guo Zitao immediately stepped forward to support Liu Mengyan, and she fell into his arms.
As soon as the two came into contact, Liu Ruyan immediately pushed Guo Zitao away.
She hadn't seen Guo Zitao for a long time, and at first glance, she seemed a little embarrassed, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Liu Mengyan struggled to get up, "Hmm...... If it's okay, Mengyan will ...... first"
"I heard that you were named the county lord of Anping by the emperor." Guo Zitao suddenly said directly,
"It was just an accident." Liu Mengyan glanced at Guo Zitao and said.
A trace of worry flashed in Guo Zitao's eyes, and then said: "I heard that the emperor and queen mother like you very much, I'm afraid which prince do you want to point it to?" ”
Liu Mengyan was taken aback, and then she knew that Guo Zitao was worried. However, there are legitimate fears.
"Brother Guo, Mengyan has no intention of marrying into the heavenly family as a wife in this life. The emperor can't forcibly marry Mengyan. Brother Guo, Mengyan should go and see Yuqi. Liu Mengyan said, turning around and preparing to go out.
But just as she turned around, Guo Zitao grabbed one of her arms.
"Sister Yan, wait for me. Don't worry, I've already told my father and mother, no matter what, I will go to Liufu to propose to you, and you will wait for me for a few days. He said excitedly.
Seeing him swearing like this, Liu Mengyan showed a hint of a smile and slowly withdrew her arm, "Brother Guo, it's not appropriate to talk about this today." ”
Seeing that Liu Mengyan did not refuse, Guo Zitao felt a little more at ease.
He thought that Liu Mengyan was made the county lord by the emperor, so he was a little farther away from her.
"Yan'er, don't worry, this time, no matter what, I won't let you wait for a long time."
Liu Mengyan nodded lightly, "Mengyan knows, Brother Guo should go out to entertain the guests quickly." It is not etiquette for a lonely man and a widow to be in the same room. ”
Guo Zitao also felt that this was the case when he heard it, now there are many people here, if he is accidentally seen, it will really damage Liu Mengyan's reputation, "Sister Yan is right, it's all my fault for being careless." I'll go out first, and you'll come out later. ”
Liu Mengyan snorted, looking at Guo Zitao's back when he went out, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
In fact, she doesn't have such a strong liking for Guo Zitao.
It's okay not to marry yourself in this life. However, she thought that she couldn't pass the level of her mother and grandmother, and she didn't want them to be sad and sad, rather than asking her grandmother to find a man she didn't know, it was better for Brother Guo, at least someone who knew the roots.
Liu Mengyan thought that if Guo Zitao was really embarrassed, it would be better to forget it like this. But just after his words, she was determined to wait.
After a stick of incense, Liu Ruyan got up, walked to the door, and pushed the door out.
She had just taken two steps when she met a very eye-catching girl in the verandah.
This is the back house of Guo's mansion, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. She also saw that this girl was not dressed like a maid, and she had never seen it before, so she could not help but be a little puzzled.
The girl also thought the same as Liu Mengyan, but since she could enter the back house of the Guo Mansion, she already thought of someone.
At this time, the maid who followed the girl immediately stepped forward and said: "Miss, this is the fourth girl from Liufu next door, who has just been crowned the county lord of Anping by the emperor, and you have to salute when you see her." ”
When the girl heard this, she immediately bowed slightly, "Little woman Yang Chunling, please say hello to the county lord of Ping'an." ”
When Liu Mengyan heard this name, she couldn't help but be slightly shocked: Yang Chunling, she is Brother Guo's cousin, the woman who was married to Brother Guo in the previous life?
Yang Chunling came to Guo's mansion? But why did Guo Zitao say that to himself just now?
Putting away these thoughts, Liu Mengyan hurriedly said, "Miss Yang, hurry up." ”
I saw that this Yang Chunling looked a little beautiful, and her expression was somewhat similar to Liu Ruomei, pitiful and pitiful.
"The little woman was originally Mrs. Guo's niece, and she came to visit her aunt this time. If there is a faux pas, please also ask the county lord Haihan. Yang Chunling said.
Although the tone is polite, but between the lines, she swears that she is a relative of this Guo Mansion, and outsiders can't compare.
Liu Mengyan naturally knew it, presumably this Yang Chunling had already learned about the matter between herself and Guo Zitao from Mrs. Guo.
She smiled and said, "Miss Yang is too worried. Mengyan was just a little lucky, and she was lucky enough to get into the eyes of the emperor to get the empty title of county lord, which is nothing. ”
"Where did the county lord come from? Where are you going? Yang Chunling asked suspiciously, her eyes still looking behind Liu Mengyan from time to time.
She knew that this Liu Mengyan was Guo Yuqi's friend and the person that Brother Guo liked. But this is Guo Mansion, not Liu Mansion, and this Liu Mengyan shouldn't be walking around.
Liu Mengyan heard the meaning of her words, this was questioning her, this is Guo Mansion, she shouldn't be trespassing around.
"I just discussed something with Marsh in her house, and now I'm going to the garden." Liu Mengyan said, naturally avoiding Guo Zitao.
"Does the county mainly go to the garden? The little girl is also about to go, why don't you go together, and I can lead the way for the county lord. Yang Chunling said with a smile, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
"That's very good. Then Miss Lao Yang will lead the way. Liu Mengyan said.
In fact, of course she doesn't need Yang Chunling to lead the way, but she also wants to talk to this cousin who has set up a baby kiss with Guo Zitao, just so that she can listen to Aunt Guo's mind.
Yang Chunling was also not polite, walked in front, and said as she walked: "The county lord and cousin Yuqi are familiar with each other, so they must know that in fact, Chunling and her cousin have already had a marriage contract in advance." ”
Liu Mengyan smiled but didn't agree, sure enough, this Miss Biao already knew about Guo Zitao and herself.
Although in the previous life, Yang Chunling and Guo Zitao had a marriage contract. But in the end, this woman did not marry Guo Zitao, she didn't know the reason, but now from the meaning of her words, it is clear that she wants to marry Guo Zitao.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Yang Chunling thought that Liu Mengyan was shocked by her words, so she continued: "Brother Zitao is a good person and a talent. Once, he went to his grandfather's house and went to catch butterflies in the field with me, and accidentally, I fell and injured my foot, and my cousin went back with Chunling on his back. My aunt told my father at the time that she wanted my cousin and Chunling to set a baby kiss, and this time I went to Beijing for this matter. ”
Liu Mengyan couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and said with relief: "Mengyan has never heard Yuqi mention this matter, and Brother Guo has never mentioned it. ”
Seeing her say this, Yang Chunling smiled awkwardly and said, "How could they casually mention this kind of thing to the county lord." ”
Liu Mengyan glanced at her lightly and said, "In fact, the most important thing to ask about marriage is yourself." The words of the matchmaker are important, but if you marry or marry someone you don't like in this life, won't you be entangled for the rest of your life. Cousin, don't you say? ”
Liu Mengyan's words may have hit the pain point in Yang Chunling's heart, maybe Guo Zitao had already said something to her, but after she heard this, her face showed a trace of astonishment, but the two had already arrived in the back garden, so they each took away their faces and went to the female dependent.
In the back garden, all the ladies of the family were enjoying the flowers, and when they saw Liu Mengyan coming, they all greeted each other with smiles, after all, Liu Mengyan's identity is different now.
Guo Yuqi was talking to another young lady, when she heard the voice and turned her head to look, she saw Liu Mengyan and Yang Chunling together.
She was a little surprised, how did these two meet together? She didn't think much about it, and hurriedly stepped forward.
The women saw that there was an extra woman with eyes next to Liu Mengyan, and it seemed that she was also a young lady. But this young lady of such an age in the capital, everyone will be familiar with each other, why is this young lady so eye-catching.
Someone asked, "Anping County Lord, who is this one?" ”
At this moment, Guo Yuqi walked over and came to Liu Mengyan and Yang Chunling's side, "I'm sorry, girls, I forgot to introduce it." This is Miss Yang from my uncle's house, and she is Yuqi's cousin, her name is Yang Chunling. ”
Yang Chunling is also a person who can read the eyes, as soon as Guo Yuqi finished the introduction, she was slightly blessed, "Please take care of your sisters." ”
Everyone saw that it was Guo Fu's distant cousin, no wonder they felt that their eyes were a little bigger, and they all dispersed after a few polite words.
Seeing that everyone was scattered, Guo Yuqi hurriedly took Liu Mengyan's hand, glanced at her, and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, your third sister has already gone to see Chen Gongzi." ”
Liu Mengyan smiled, but she was a little worried in her heart, I don't know if Chen Gongzi will agree?
If he didn't have this determination, the third sister's life would fall into a fog again.
Yang Chunling originally wanted to be with Guo Yuqi, but when she saw Guo Yuqi holding Liu Mengyan's hand, the two were very intimate, and she was secretly unhappy.
Guo Yuqi took Liu Mengyan to the pavilion, although the pavilion is not big, but there are already a few young ladies chatting and drinking tea inside, just talking about the purpose of Guo's tea party this time, this Guo Yuqi came, and everyone began to joke.
"Yuqi, I heard that this son of the Xu family is a talent, I don't know if you have seen it?" Someone asked with a smirk.
Guo Yuqi smiled slightly, her face was slightly red, and she said unhurriedly: "Xu Gongzi has a valuable character, and he is also born as a dignified person. ”
When everyone heard Guo Yuqi's words, they burst into laughter.
Guo Yuqi has always been cool and doesn't care.
At this time, Xiao Yumei, who was sitting on the stone bench, fixed her eyes on Liu Mengyan, shook her fan and said unhurriedly: "The county lord of Anping was left alone by the queen mother that day, I don't know which prince was assigned to marry?" ”
Liu Mengyan was really a little stunned by this sudden question, and was about to answer her words, but was preempted by another person.
