Chapter Eighty-Three: His Means (Part II)
There was silence on the streets of Fengcheng, the rain was still falling, the twilight was getting darker, the night was shrouded in rain, and only the lanterns under the eaves on both sides of the street were faintly lit.
There was the sound of horses' hooves on the road, and a coachman was driving the car in the rain, and the car quickly stopped at the gate of Wangchun Pavilion, and someone got out of the carriage.
Shangguan Wan'er was wearing a bright yellow gauze skirt, flying clouds into her temples, eyebrows in the distant mountains, and when she got out of the car, she reflected the empty building.
On the first floor, there is a drama girl playing the pipa, babbling and singing.
"The leaves are green, and the white dew is not dawning. The so-called Iraqi people are ...... in the water of the Mae
The drama girl is tactful, and she sings three sentences of soft ah, which sounds like a bone at this time.
Shangguan Wan'er went up to the second floor, and when she saw her thanks, she saluted slightly, "Shizi......"
"Sit and drink tea, this tea was given to me by my mother, and it tastes very good." He meant something and smiled a little strangely.
A little girl stepped forward to pour tea, and she smiled softly and took a sip.
Shangguan Wan'er understands tea, and frowned slightly at the moment, this tea is estimated to be inferior to the tea leaves of ordinary teahouses.
Xie saw that there was something strange between her eyebrows, and raised her eyebrows, "What?" Dislike? β
"I like it."
Thanks smiled kindly, and said, "This tea goes well with you." β
Shangguan Wan'er froze when she heard this, and looked stunned.
Xie Yi picked up the teacup, smelled the tea, and looked disgusted, "If this is Rong'er, she will definitely not drink it, she is very picky, as if she can do anything, but she is really picky and squeamish." As for me, I naturally don't want her to be wronged, I will give her what she wants, and I will give her what is good, but ......" his eyes changed, and his warm smile was cold, "You shouldn't have moved your mind to her!" β
Shangguan Wan'er's eyes rose angrily, only to feel that her whole body was soft, and she exclaimed, "You! What did you do? β
Xie Yi shook his head, "You should ask yourself, what did you do this morning?" β
Shangguan Wan'er looked at the cup of inferior tea in horror, "In the tea...... Tea ......"
"Naturally, it's Qinghexiang."
She couldn't believe it! Thank you for being so heartless!
Xie Yi looked at her coldly, with disgust in his eyes, "I don't care how famous you are in the imperial capital, how talented you are, for me, you can't even compare to a single hair of Rong'er!" The virtuous and virtuous daughter of the Shangguan family was ruthless and spicy when she started to move. She didn't say a word to offend you, and you thought about destroying her! This huge Wangchun Pavilion, who are you arranging here! And what are you going to do to her! β
Shangguan Wan'er's body was weak, and she glared at him resentfully, it turned out that all kinds of things in the day were just an elephant!
"Someone! Drag it in! β
"Yes!"
Soon two people came to drag Guan Wan'er, and she suddenly struggled violently, "Let go of me!" Let me go! My dad won't let you go, thank you! You let go of me! β
"Your father?" Xie Yi's smile was intriguing, and his eyes were cold, "Do you think that the Xie family has been standing for many years, and they will be afraid of a Shangguan Fu?" Drag it in! β
"Thank you! You let go of me! Let me go! β
The servants gagged her and threw her into the next room, and soon there were terrified cries, "Brute! Brute! Let me go! You let go of me! β
Ming Ba hurriedly went upstairs, listening to the shouts next door that were gradually weakening, and said expressionlessly, "Shizi, I found it, Shizi Concubine has returned to the imperial capital." β
"Ready, let's go back to Luan City."
Ming Hachi hesitated a little, "Then this?" β
Xie Yi had already gotten into the carriage, and when he heard this, his eyelids were raised, and he looked coldly at the faint light on the second floor, "Good life look, let her always remember this night." β
"Yes!"
On the night of the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Gu Rong finally arrived in Luancheng.
The cold in the north was a little unbearable, Gu Rong was so cold that she stomped her feet and knocked on the gate of the palace.
It was very late at night, and the little vigil was confused, "Who?" "I didn't sleep in the middle of the night and came knocking on the door! Disturbing dreams!
"It's me."
The door was opened a crack, and Gu Rong looked at him with a smile outside the crack in the door, and the little girl instantly came to her senses and said in surprise, "Miss is back!" He hurriedly pulled the door open, "Miss is back!" β
"Shhhhh......hh β
"Good! Good! Miss, go back to the house, it's cold. β
Back in his garden, it was dark and quiet, only a few lanterns hung under the porch, and red stickers were faintly visible on the windows and doors around him.
The New Year passed like this, and Aunt Gu was afraid that she would be angry when she saw her.
Gu Rong was tired all the way, she was really tired, thinking about tomorrow or tomorrow, she didn't even wash her face, she fell asleep wrapped in a quilt.
At dawn on the second day, the house was pushed open, and someone came in with a charcoal fire, and when he saw that she was still sleeping, he went up and pulled down the curtain.
Gu Rong screamed in a daze, "Auntie." β
Aunt Gu saw that she had woken her up, so she had to sit down, and when she saw that she was intact, she couldn't help but scold, "You said you!" Don't tell me in advance before you go out, I've been worried for a long time, your eldest brother said that you went to the south, what are you doing in the south? It's so dangerous there, don't you want me to worry about death! I'm in this world, except for Nian Ping and you, I ......" she said and couldn't go on, her eyes were red, "Where are you going, tell me!" Let me know that there is a hope! β
Gu Rong knew that she was wrong, and when she saw that she was sad, she hugged her and said, "Auntie...... I was wrong, next time ......"
"Dare to have a next time!"
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
"Now that you're awake, get up and eat something, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, do you have anything you want to procure? I asked the girls to buy it, ginger tea was boiling in the kitchen, the girls were weak, and the weather in Luancheng was very cold, so you had to pay more attention. β
Aunt Gu chattered non-stop, Gu Rong listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a few words, and seeing that there was no little doll beside her, she hurriedly asked, "What about Nianping?" β
"I'm learning words, your eldest brother found him an enlightenment teacher a few days ago, he's almost three years old, it's time to read."
Gu Rong nodded, "Since it's the teacher that the eldest brother is looking for, it should be reliable." β
The two were talking, and saw Yuan Wang Yan coming in a hurry from a distance, Gu Rong put down the bowl, greeted him, and said with a smile, "Big brother." β
Wang Yan saw that she looked very good, and said with a cheerful smile, "It's good to return safely, I probably know about the affairs of the southern border, this time the Northern Yuan won a big victory, and the vitality of Dongyue was greatly damaged, and within ten years, there is no possibility of making waves." β
"The news spread so fast."
"The verdict of the overnight talks between the two countries was transmitted back to Luancheng yesterday afternoon."
"What did Big Brother hear?"
"Ceded Liaocheng, pay an annual tribute of 30,000 taels of silver, and from this year onwards, Dongyue will send a prince to live in Beiyuan permanently."
Gu Rong was surprised, "Dongyue also agreed to such conditions?" β
Wang Yan drank a bowl of porridge and was picking up vegetables, and when he saw her surprised, he smiled and said, "Guess what you say about gratitude?" β
Gu Rong asked curiously, "What did he say?" β
"He said that he was going to wave his troops south and set foot on Dongyue."
