Chapter 24: Encounters
"Okay, where did you think of it, girl?" Fu Zheng smiled and patted her on the head.
Sure enough, within a few days, Gu Yunchuan, the second son of the Gu family, was about to come to Fenghua Xueyue.
Presumably Gu Yunchuan is a distinguished guest, Aunt Chun has been gathering up since a few days ago, and inspects the girls' dresses up and down every day with a fan and silk handkerchief, for fear of neglecting the guests. The fragrance of the fat powder in the past few days is even stronger, as soon as Fu Zheng leaves the room, he will immediately be choked and coughed, and he simply stays in the room and does not go out. Aunt Chun didn't care about him.
Night.
Downstairs and its lively, the guests are staggered, talking very happily, singing and dancing on the stage, the dancers are dancing with flower fans in their hands, and the dance clothes are flying, as if they are blooming peony flowers.
Aunt Chun looked at the handsome boy who was sitting at the table in the private room on the second floor drinking with a sneer, and said with a flattering smile, "Gu Gongzi, our Oiran is completely worthy of being a national beauty, and I will definitely not let you down!" β
Gu Lingchuan still smiled and drank quietly, his eyes wandering on the dancers on the flower platform downstairs.
Aunt Chun was taken aback, and pulled the girl who was accompanying the wine to the side and asked quietly, "Why hasn't Ziyu come down yet?" How dare you make Gu Gongzi wait so long? β
At this time, there was a sudden applause and cheers in the hall, Aunt Chun only felt that the candlelight in front of her was dim, and a long red silk hung down from the roof of the flower platform in the water, and the wisteria flowers were flying all over the sky, and the purple moon dragged the red long silk around the flower platform and rotated in the air, wearing a purple gauze skirt, covered with purple veil, the shining headdress jingled, and the long hair was like a waterfall, as if it was a Lingbo fairy dancing on the water.
"It's so beautiful......" The girl who accompanied the wine couldn't help but cover her lips and exclaimed.
Gu Yunchuan looked straight at the purple-clothed fairy who was spinning on the flower platform, and the wine cup was put to his lips, but he didn't drink it for a long time.
Thousands of wisteria flowers flutter in the sky like rain, like a meteor shower covering the universe, piercing the night sky, leaving thousands of beautiful trails.
Ziyu dragged the red long silk higher and higher, and finally almost all of them flew against the wooden railing on the second floor, her long hair flew like a butterfly, and when she spun in front of Gu Lingchuan, the purple veil suddenly fell, revealing the appearance of the alluring city, at that moment, her lips smiled slightly, and her quiet eyes turned into fleeting meteors, just that glimpse was enough to take away everyone's heartbeat.
The purple veil fluttering in the air slowly and lightly fell, Gu Lingchuan involuntarily stretched out his hand, and the veil slowly fell on his hand as if he knew it.
Ziyu loosened the red silk and landed lightly on the flower platform in the water and continued to dance quietly, but with the performance just now, she received waves of applause.
Gu Yunchuan took the purple veil, lowered his head and sniffed lightly, the smell of wisteria flowers.
"Aunt Chun." He spoke, his eyes fixed on the girl in purple dancing on the flower platform.
Aunt Chun hurriedly stepped forward, "What do you have to say to Second Prince Gu?" β
"What's this girl's name?"
Aunt Chun was stunned, her heart was overjoyed, and she hurriedly replied, "Her name is Ziyu." β
"Purple jade?" Gu Lingchuan slowly read the name, and a charming smile appeared on his lips, "Oiran...... It's really a beautiful country. β
Ziyue, who was dancing on the flower platform, suddenly glanced at Gu Yunchuan upstairs, and her thin lips outlined a beautiful but weird arc.
After that, the people in the whole Yangzhou went viral, and Ziyu was taken by Gu Ergongzi, and he wanted to marry home and be the wife of the main house.
The weather was sunny today, Yusheng Han and Fu Zheng were taking them, Xiaolian was wandering on the street, and it happened that Xiaolian's things had fallen and squatted down to pick them up.
"Drive! Drive! β
The sound of heavy horses' hooves knocking on the ground made a crisp sound from far and near, and the pedestrians on the street avoided one after another, only Xiaolian was still squatting in the middle of the road, not aware of the danger at all.
Suddenly, seeing a huge shadow shrouded in the ground, Gong Qianzhu looked up, only to see the iron hooves of the horses raised high in the dazzling sunlight, and the pedestrians on the side of the road gave way.
"Ahh
There was an exclamation.
Xiaolian subconsciously raised her hand to cover her head and closed her eyes.
"Phewβ"
The horse neighed and stopped, and the iron hooves that were about to step on her stopped, and it was the man on the horseback who stopped the reins in time.
"Girl, are you alright?" The man on horseback hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and asked with concern.
As a result, before she could ask a word, Xiaolian fainted.
Yu Shenghan and Fu Zheng hurriedly ran over.
When Gu Linfeng saw Fu Zheng, the whole person knelt down.
"Subordinates see the general, this is where the general has run in the past two years, why is there no news"
Fu Zheng hurriedly helped him up: "You are all a general now, don't kneel down and salute like this at every turn"
"If it hadn't been for the cultivation of the general, and a lot of care on the battlefield, I would have died on the battlefield a long time ago."
"Okay, let it pass, let's take a look at Xiaolian, he seems to be scared a lot"
In this way, Yu Shenghan and his party all arrived at Gu Linfeng's house, but there were some special things today, after Yu Shenghan was taken care of, he hurried out to pick up someone.
Yangzhou Gu Mansion.
A man dressed in dark color stood at the door of the house, waiting for someone to return, and several family members stood respectfully behind him.
"Husband." A soft and weak voice came, and a woman in a gorgeous dress with Liujia came with the support of the maid, walked up to the man and smiled.
Gu Linfeng hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Shan'er, why did you come out, didn't you let you rest in the room?" β
Ning Shan smiled lightly, "Yunchuan is coming back with his future brother and sister, and I, as a sister-in-law, can't be closed doors." β
"How's that girl?"
"I haven't woken up yet, I'm afraid I'm scared."
Gu Linfeng sighed with some self-reproach, "I'll take a look later." β
A luxury carriage stopped at the gate of Gu's mansion, the coachman jumped off the horse, and Gu Yunchuan then came out.
Gu Linfeng hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him with a smile, "Yunchuan, you're back, I asked the cook to make your favorite stewed lotus root." β
"Thank you, big brother." Gu Yunchuan said with a smile.
"What about the future siblings?" Ning Shan looked around.
"Still in the car." Gu Yunchuan lifted the curtain of the car, leaned over and smiled, "Madam, come out." β
Ziyu put her hand into Gu Yunchuan's palm and leaned over to get out of the carriage.
When she lifted her face, the midday sun shone brightly, burning the eyes of both of them.
Ziyu's lips hooked up with an almost cruel indifferent smile, extremely sarcastic.
"The little woman Ziyu has seen the eldest brother and sister-in-law."
Ning Shan's face turned pale in an instant, and Gu Lin'an's face was also very bad, and his gaze fell on the hands of the two of them, which was even more ugly.
