Chapter 073: Rongcheng
"Master, Rongcheng has arrived."
On the second watch, a black carriage stopped outside Rongcheng.
At this time, it was curfew time when the city gates were closed. The person sitting in the carriage gently lifted the door curtain, and looked through the gap between the door curtains to look at the two words "Rongcheng" on the city gate.
"This is Rongcheng, and it doesn't look any different from Yecheng."
"What can be fresh in the city gate building, it's almost the same, it looks like this." As he spoke, the driver ignored the closed gates and drove forward. As the carriage approached the city gates, the towering gates opened from the inside, and the two soldiers in charge of opening the doors stood on either side of the gates. When they had entered, the gates were quietly shut.
"After the curfew, the gates will not allow people to enter and exit at will." Yan Suwen looked out curiously: "Is it possible, this defender of the city also recognizes the adult's carriage." ”
"They didn't recognize the carriage, but the sign in Yunfei's hand."
"Waist card?"
"Pretty much." Gu Changfeng lifted all the curtains: "There are a few places worth going to in this Rongcheng, when the matter is done, I will take you to have a look." ”
"Did adults come to Rongcheng often?"
"Not often." Gu Changfeng put down the curtain: "Rongcheng is closer to Yecheng, which is very suitable for selling news, and I will keep an eye on this side every day." ”
This topic is obviously not suitable for further discussion. Yan Suwen lifted the curtain on the other side, and swept his gaze over the closed shop doors: "Are we going to the guest house?" ”
"You'll know when you get there." Gu Changfeng closed his eyes and reached over to hold her: "Are you tired?" ”
"It's fine." Yan Suwen turned her waist sideways, although the carriage of the prime minister's house has been as comfortable as possible, but for people who ride long distances, it is still quite torturous, especially for people like her who are not used to riding in a carriage, all the way down, the bones of the body are not scattered.
"It's coming soon." Gu Changfeng noticed her small movements, and his eyebrows were slightly raised, and then flattened.
After entering the city, I drove for about half an hour and arrived at an annex. At the entrance of the courtyard, two huge lanterns are hung, and the words "Baifu" are written on them. Under the lamp, there were two small maids and two pretty maids in pink shirts and buns.
"Young Master!"
As soon as Yan Suwen was led off the carriage by Gu Changfeng, she saw the four maids and the four maids saluting in unison, and she suddenly stopped.
Gu Changfeng changed his mind to hug, and pushed her forward without a trace. When she entered the door and saw a flower path bending forward, she couldn't help but ask, "What is this Baifu?" Those little maids and maids just now, why did you call you young master?"
"They're used to it."
Got used to it? Well, that's not the point of her question. The point of her question was why the subordinates of the White Mansion would call a person surnamed Gu as the young master, instead of the young master Gu.
One more surname and one less surname, there is more meaning here.
"Madame doesn't know the Bai family in Rongcheng?" Gu Yunfei followed.
Yan Suwen shook his head, looked into Gu Changfeng's eyes and asked, "Should I know?" ”
"You are not from Rongcheng, and it is nothing if you don't know the Bai family in Rongcheng."
Yan Suwen cast his curious eyes on Gu Yunfei: "What is the difference between this Rongcheng Bai family and other families?" ”
"This-" Gu Yunfei scratched his head: "Just like your Yan family is a family of imperial doctors, the Rongcheng Bai family is a martial arts family, and the current head of the family, Bai Fengqi, is also the current leader of the martial arts alliance, and the status of the Bai family in the rivers and lakes can be seen." Also, Bai Fengqi's wife's surname is Gu, and this Mrs. Bai happens to be the aunt of our family. Although she is not a dear aunt, she has grown up in the Gu family since she was a child, and she also grew up watching our grandfather. If it weren't for the fact that Xiangye and his wife had already had a marriage contract, this Bai family would inevitably marry with our Xiangfu. ”
"Yunfei." Gu Changfeng glanced at Gu Yunfei: "Don't say what you shouldn't say." ”
Gu Yunfei covered his mouth and shook his head at Yan Suwen.
"Do you have a cousin, or do you have a cousin?"
"Both."
"Then your aunt was planning to marry that one to you?"
"I don't know."
"Are they good-looking?"
"I haven't seen it."
"My lord, it's good not to bring such perfunctory people, they are your cousins, how could you not have seen them?"
"Even if I've seen it, I don't have much of an impression." Gu Changfeng looked at Yan Su and asked, his expression was serious: "One, I have a marriage contract with you, and I have already given a dowry to the Yan family, and I will only marry you in the future." Second, the Bai family's intention to marry is a matter for the Bai family, and my Gu family has never had this intention. 3. We are only here to stay overnight, and nothing else is involved, if the lady is jealous, there is no reason to eat. Fourth, the Bai family has a special status in Rongcheng, and uses the power of the Bai family to do things better. ”
"I'm not jealous."
"It's normal for a woman to be jealous, and Mrs. doesn't have to feel embarrassed."
"I'm just not jealous."
"The vinegar in Rongcheng is not bad."
"What do you mean?"
"What the master means, it's okay for the lady to be jealous properly, the master likes it." Gu Yunfei touched his nose and walked past the two, deliberately pretending not to squint and not to care about himself.
"Well, I like it." Gu Changfeng actually said the same.
Yan Suwen felt powerless, but he didn't know what to argue. Well, anyway, jealousy won't make her lack a bone or two pieces of meat, they say she eats it, so she reluctantly eats it herself.
Along the flower path all the way forward, at the end of the flower path is a pavilion, around the pavilion hangs a curtain made of fine bamboo, the curtain is only covered by a third, behind the curtain is a hanging white yarn, the white yarn sways with the night wind, but the sound of the gurgling piano comes out from behind the white yarn.
Yan Su was a little speechless.
When they entered the city, it was already the second watch, and they were still sitting in the pavilion playing the piano in the middle of the night, either unable to sleep or deliberately disturbing the people.
Before they could enter the pavilion, the sound stopped. A tactful voice came from behind the curtain: "Father and mother specially ordered Yun Shu to come here to greet him, Brother Yanqing has worked hard all the way." ”
Gu Changfeng frowned and did not speak.
"There is Miss Lao, but my father and wife have traveled a long way, and they are already a little tired at this time. Tomorrow morning, I will go to visit Sect Master Bai and Madame Bai again. ”
"Ma'am?" The white gauze was lightly wrapped, and the curtain was lifted: "Who is Madame?" Who is Madame? ”
Behind the curtain stood a beautiful woman in white clothes and white ornaments, with beautiful facial features and exquisite makeup, with a sense of everyone's demeanor in both stillness and movement.
"Ahem, ahem." Gu Yunfei coughed lightly, moved his gaze to Yan Su and asked, "Madame is Madame, my family's grandfather has been married since he was a child." ”
"The Yan family's? Didn't you say that you had already withdrawn from your family? ”
"Rumors, rumors. The Gu family has always kept its promise, since this marriage contract has been set a long time ago, how can it be casually returned. Miss, don't listen to the nonsense of people outside. Oh, by the way, Xiangye has already given a dowry to the Yan family, and he will send the wedding card to the mansion later, and at that time, please also ask the eldest lady to go to Yecheng to watch the ceremony. ”
"Brother Yanqing, is what he said true?
"It's true."
"Are you going to marry her?" Bai Yunshu had a hint of resentment in his eyes: "Is she the legendary second lady of the Yan family?" ”
"Her name is Su Wen, and she is my wife who has never been through the door. Bai Yunshu, the second daughter born to my aunt and Sect Master Bai. ”
The second?
Shouldn't the second one be the second miss? But Gu Yunfei kept calling her eldest lady.
Yan Su had questions in his heart, but he didn't know how to ask, so he could only smile at Bai Yunshu and called, "Miss Bai." ”
"Yun Shu also has a twin sister named Shu Yun, who died of wind plague when she was eleven years old."
Gu Changfeng explained casually, not noticing the change in the expression on Bai Yunshu's face.
"Brother Yanqing is right, I do have a sister who died young. Therefore, according to the original ranking of the family, I should be the second lady of the Bai family, not the eldest lady. Outsiders didn't know the truth, so they called it away. Bai Yunshu walked up to Gu Changfeng: "Since Brother Yanqing is tired, let's go back and rest early." The guest room is still the one that Yanqing's brother likes, and the furnishings in the room have been maintained and have not changed. I don't know when my brother will come, and I know that my brother likes to be clean, so the yard where my brother lives, every morning and dusk, I will arrange for someone to go over to clean it. ”
"Hmm." Gu Changfeng hummed lightly, took Yan Su and asked to continue walking.
"Brother Yanqing." Bai Yunshu called them: "Although Brother Yanqing has a marriage contract with Miss Yan's family, the two of you have not performed a big wedding ceremony, if you live together at this time, you will inevitably be criticized by others." Brother rest assured, Miss Yan's guest room, Yun Shu has also ordered someone to prepare it. Please, Miss Yan's family, go this way, my girl, will show you the way. ”
You don't have to live in the same room with Gu Changfeng, Yan Su asked for it, she just turned around happily to go with the Bai family's maid, but found that her arm was firmly buckled by someone.
Gu Changfeng almost didn't even look at Bai Yunshu, so he replied directly: "No need, my wife recognizes life, if she leaves me, I'm afraid she will cry at night." Also, my wife recognizes the bed, and without my room, she can't sleep well. ”
Recognition?
She has grown so big, why doesn't she know that she still has a problem with recognizing life?
Scared to cry?
She, a female doctor who dares to dissect even the corpses of dead people, can be scared to cry by a room?
Also, what Gu Changfeng just said, she said that she recognized the bed, and without his room, she wouldn't be able to sleep soundly. Please, we are also prime ministers, we are big officials, can't we be a little more reliable when we speak, can't we be a little more realistic? She won't be able to sleep well if she stays with him.
Yan Su asked hehe and smiled, just wanted to refute, but received a warning glance from an adult, she quickly nodded and said, "What the adult said is true." ”
"Men and women can't stand it clearly, my brother Yanqing is a man, so he won't care about this, Miss Yan Er, you ...... Don't care? ”
"I care, of course I care, but it's useless." Yan Suwen collapsed his face a little helplessly: "In the minds of the people of Yecheng, your brother Yanqing has already been eaten and wiped clean by me." ”
