Chapter 67
Zhao Xiang'e heard the sound, stopped slightly, turned around, and was able to bear the cloud sleeves gently swinging the butterfly dance, and the slender waist slowly twisted the silk tape.
Zhao Xiang'e's eyes looked at the past tactfully, but it seemed to be bright and dark, as if the glass in the water was flickering in it, the cheeks were dyed red, and the pearls of the earrings were swaying, looking at Gu Huaiteng fixedly, as if waiting for Gu Huaiteng to continue.
Gu Huaiteng's ears were red from his ears to his neck, and he stumbled and whispered: "The girl is alone, it's getting late at the moment, why don't you let me send the girl back......"
Gu Huailang immediately asked in surprise: "Fifth brother, why did you send her?" Do you know this girl? ”
Gu Huaiteng was speechless immediately, clasped his hands, lowered his head, and blushed as if he was about to catch fire.
Zhao Xiang'e tilted her head, others will do some childish actions, but when it comes to Zhao Xiang'e, there is a strange temperament that mixes innocence and charm, and even a little playful. She said in a tactful tone: "Thank you Gu Gongzi, I understand your kindness, I already understand Gu Gongzi's intentions, if Gu Gongzi comes to Wanyanfang one day, I will definitely serve him well." ”
After speaking, Zhao Xiang'e left gracefully and swayingly, and Qianying disappeared behind the heavy rain curtain.
Gu Huailang listened to Zhao Xiang'e's voice, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he thought of something, he should have thought of hearing the same voice at Mrs. Gu's birthday banquet, Gu Huailang's expression immediately became a little shocked and confused, and he couldn't help but stare at Gu Huaiteng, who had just talked to Zhao Xiang'e, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask something, but he didn't ask in the end.
Tan Wenshi also stared at Zhao Xiang'e's disappearing figure, obviously, Tan Wenshi also recognized that Zhao Xiang'e was the sister who had a relationship with Wanxiang Tower. Tan Wenshi couldn't help but squint his eyes, his brows tightened, as if he couldn't believe that he would meet here by such a coincidence, and couldn't help but start pondering.
And Du Qiutong was whispering to Du Zhengshuo, Du Zhengshuo was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes showed a look of horror, and he hurriedly walked in front of Gu Huailang, regardless of the fact that half of his body was in the rain curtain, and said deeply: "I don't know if this is Little Master Gu, I offended just now, there are many rudenesses, Little Master Gu, you have a lot, please forgive me!" ”
Although Gu Huailang's eyes showed disdain, as if he looked down on Du Zhengshuo's flattery, he still said politely: "I'm not an adult, I'm a child, and you didn't offend me, so you don't need to be so polite." ”
Tan Wenshi immediately came to help: "Gu Xiaogongzi is really a generous person. Brother Du, let me introduce you, this little prince Gu is ranked eighth, and standing next to the eighth prince is the fifth prince of the Gu Mansion, as for this ......" Tan Wenshi turned to Gu Xuesong.
At this time, Gu Xuesong had already stood back under the eaves, and was tidying up his umbrella gently, although he was a little wet, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, but gave people a sense of nobility in the rain and mountains.
Tan Wenshi smiled and arched his hand, and said to Gu Xuesong: "Under Tan Wenshi, I don't know what to call this son?" ”
Gu Xuesong smiled, his smile was like a spring breeze turning into snow, illuminating the rainy night, but he just said: "The contemptible surname is Gu." ”
Tan Wenshi was stunned, at this moment, a magnanimous carriage stopped in front of the eaves, a young man lifted the curtain, saw Gu Xuesong, and immediately his eyes lit up, and immediately jumped down, came to Gu Xuesong with an umbrella, and said in surprise: "Childe didn't get rainy, right?" However, before the words fell, he exclaimed again: "Why is Childe's clothes wet?" Do you have a cold? ”
"Watching chess, don't make a big fuss, get in the car." Immediately, Gu Xuesong and Guanqi walked into the rain, and Gu Xuesong's back was like a snowflake falling into the rain, lonely and white in the melting.
Gu Huaiteng and Gu Huailang also followed and got into the car.
As soon as he got into the car and isolated himself from outsiders, Gu Huailang finally couldn't hold it back, and asked directly: "Fifth brother, you are not feeling unwell at all, you actually just don't want to talk to Sister Ning, right?" ”
Gu Huaiteng's blush was still there, he clasped his hands, avoided Gu Huailang's gaze, and couldn't answer.
Gu Huailang chattered: "Why don't you talk to Sister Ning, but talk to that girl from Wan Yanfang?" ”
Gu Huaiteng simply turned his face and couldn't answer at all.
Gu Huailang wanted to ask, but Gu Xuesong opened his mouth and said to Gu Huailang: "Have you thought about it, how will you explain to the third sister-in-law after returning home in a while?" ”
Gu Huailang's eyes suddenly widened, revealing a frightened look, and he muttered: "It's over, it's raining so hard, my mother will definitely come to my room to take a look at me, and she will definitely find out about me slipping out, it's over, what can I do now?" ”
Speaking of this, Gu Huailang's eyes suddenly lit up and looked at Gu Xuesong.
Gu Xuesong smiled faintly and refused bluntly: "I won't send you back to the room to relieve you, as for the anger of the third sister-in-law, you can enjoy it yourself." Gu Xuesong leaned on the back of the car and said rather gloatingly: "You disappeared suddenly, the third sister-in-law must be worried, alas, I can even imagine the third sister-in-law getting angry......"
Gu Huailang was at a loss: "Don't, sixth uncle, help me!" With my mother's temper, she will definitely scold me, maybe beat me, and lock me up for reflection...... Sixth uncle, don't leave me alone, you must save me......"
Gu Xuesong leaned on the back of the car and teased Gu Huailang with interest. Gu Huaiteng glanced at Gu Xuesong quietly, and his eyes seemed to be grateful.
Gu Xuesong's carriage gradually moved away, Du Qiutong's eyes always followed Gu Xuesong's carriage, his eyes seemed to be amazed and admired, but there was a faint loneliness, jealousy and Gu Ying's self-pity.
Du Zhengshuo asked in disbelief: "Could it be ...... Qing'er really wants to marry into the Gu Mansion? How is this possible? What kind of family is the Gu Mansion, what kind of family is the Ning family, this is simply a fantasy! Du Zhengshuo stared at Du Qiutong and asked in disbelief, "You're not lying to me, are you?" Are you sure you heard it right? ”
Du Qiutong said helplessly: "It's true, but at the moment, it just means this, and it shouldn't have been officially decided yet." ”
Du Qiutong lowered his voice and said, "This morning, Old Lady Ning, my aunt, cousin, and Ningxia Zi all went to the Gu Mansion, I guess it was for this marriage." I look at the attitude of the eighth son of the Gu family towards his cousin just now, and it is estimated that during the day, the two families should have a very pleasant conversation. ”
Du Qiutong immediately sneered: "That's right, like this kind of good opportunity for pie in the sky, my aunt will naturally try everything to stammer, how can the conversation be unpleasant?" ”
Du Zhengshuo still couldn't believe it, but Du Qiutong said it so carefully, he couldn't help but believe it. Du Zhengshuo frowned, as if he was shocked and annoyed, his eyes rolled, and he leaned in front of Tan Wenshi and whispered: "Master Tan, in my opinion, you are also interested in Qing'er, right?" ”
Tan Wenshi glanced at Du Zhengshuo coldly, and did not deny it.
Du Zhengshuo then said: "Why don't you go to Ning's house to propose!" You already have business dealings with your uncle, maybe your uncle-in-law will agree to you because of his past feelings! ”
Tan Wenshi glanced at Du Zhengshuo with hatred, obviously telling Du Zhengshuo with his eyes that this was a bad idea.
The Gu family has already opened their mouths to ask for marriage, if Tan Wenshi also goes to intercede at this moment, it is completely equivalent to looking for death.
If he does this, he will definitely offend the Gu family, and he will definitely return in vain. Take 10,000 steps back, even if a miracle comes, he can marry Ningxia Qing without offending the Gu family, which is definitely not his original intention! What he wants is Ning Yongda's mulberry garden, he wants to turn that mulberry garden into his own assets, what he wants is to defeat Master Ning through this mulberry garden and support the third master to take the throne.
Tan Wenshi frowned, thinking about how to break this situation.
And Du Qiutong saw that Tan Wenshi was interested in Ningxia Qing by default, and when he heard that Du Zhengshuo asked Tan Wenshi to also propose to Ningxia Qing, his face couldn't help but turn black again and again.
She was so jealous, but she had nowhere to speak.
Why did everyone fall in love with Ningxia Qing, but no one took a fancy to Du Qiutong? In terms of appearance, Du Qiutong is no worse than Ningxia Qing. In terms of family background, the ancestors of the Du family have been scholars. And what about the Ning family? The Ning family is just a small cloth dealer, a merchant who does not enter the stream! Why can Ningxia Qing be favored by so many people who are either rich or noble?
How noble is the Gu family, why did they fall in love with Ningxia Qing? The three sons just now were all richly dressed, and they were all so polite to Ningxia Qing! Among them, the one who doesn't know his name is the most extraordinary, but he actually holds an umbrella for Ningxia Qing! And the youngest, although naughty, did not lose the number of upbringing etiquette at all, but he was so attentive to Ning Xia Qing, as affectionate as he was to his own family!
Speaking of which, after all, the Gu family knows Ningxia Qing but does not know Du Qiutong, even if they are courteous to Ningxia Qing and ignore Du Qiutong, it is understandable. But why did Tan Wenshi treat Ningxia Qing and Du Qiutong differently? He doesn't have too deep a friendship with Ningxia Qing, and he may not even have more contact with Du Qiutong than he has. But why is his eyes so hot when he looks at Ning Xia Qing, but when he looks at Du Qiutong, there is no wave in his eyes?
Du Qiutong's jealousy ignited at this moment.
Tan Wenshi was silent, Du Qiutong was also silent, the scene became colder and colder, and Du Zhengshuo became more and more stabbed in his back, thinking about it left and right, before he stumbled and said: "Why hasn't Tan Ye's carriage come yet?" It must be that the little guys can't find Tan Ye. I'll go and show Tan Ye and call the carriage for you!" After speaking, Du Zhengshuo took the umbrella in Du Qiutong's hand and rushed into the rain.
As soon as Du Zhengshuo left like this, he left Tan Wenshi and Du Qiutong behind.
Du Qiutong's eyes were moving, and the voice between his breaths seemed to be nothing, like a soft gasp, and he said with some sadness: "Alas, my cousin is a celestial figure, and everyone likes my cousin." I'm different, an ordinary woman like me, even if there is more pain in my heart, who knows? ”
And Tan Wenshi had been pondering, until he heard Du Qiutong's voice, he didn't look over here, but he was already worried at the moment, so naturally he just casually comforted a few words: "Miss Du is too arrogant." ”
By this time, the people who had been sheltering from the rain under the eaves had been picked up by one carriage after another, and Du Zhengshuo ran away again, leaving only Tan Wenshi and Du Qiutong under the eaves. Tan Wenshi naturally walked a little farther away, with his back to Du Qiutong to avoid suspicion.
But Du Qiutong's soft wheezing became heavier and heavier, and kept drilling into Tan Wenshi's ears, accompanied by even the sobbing of a girl.
Tan Wenshi turned around and looked over, only to see that Du Qiutong's eyes had already turned red at some point, and a series of tears flowed silently down her face, but she only sobbed slightly, letting the tears keep flowing down, who could not pity her when she saw her like this?
Tan Wenshi sighed and asked softly, "What's wrong with Miss Du?" Why do you cry so sadly all of a sudden? ”
Du Qiutong suddenly leaned on Tan Wenshi's shoulder, and said softly: "Master Tan, I ......" The voice stopped, Du Qiutong stood up slightly straight, raised a pair of teary eyes, and looked at Tan Wenshi with a sigh of relief.
Tan Wenshi thought that there should be no man in the world who could resist Du Qiutong's eyes.
Tan Wenshi and Du Qiutong were so close, Tan Wenshi could see that Du Qiutong's wet eyes were like a pool of clear water, and there was a drop of water hanging on his slender eyelashes, maybe tears, maybe rain.
Du Qiutong blinked his eyes, and the water droplets fell slowly along the white skin, as if he was reluctant to leave. Behind the water droplets, Du Qiutong's eyes looked misty, revealing endless confusion and ambiguity through the vague water vapor.
Du Qiutong's tear seemed to be able to penetrate a man's heart.
Du Qiutong Yin Yin looked directly at Tan Wenshi's eyes, and said shyly: "Master Tan, as long as you need it, I am willing to do anything for you." ”
When Tan Wenshi heard this, he frowned suddenly, as if he was slightly shocked, but he was a little relieved.
