Chapter 45: Encounter (2)
Lin Miaoyin turned around and bent her knees, and said to Nan Jinyan seriously: "My marriage contract with His Royal Highness is an expedient measure to save my father, and I hope Your Highness will not mention it from time to time in the future." ”
"Yin'er! How to talk to Your Highness! Lin Song reprimanded Lin Miaoyin, Nan Jinyan saved him, he was kind to the Lin Mansion, although the grievances were offset, he shouldn't talk to him like this, after all, he was the prince.
Nan Jinyan smiled and said gently: "It's okay, what Miaoyin said is reasonable." Then he arched his hand and said: "Today, Jin Yan will leave first, General Lin take care of his body!" Stay! He turned around and walked away with his entourage.
Lin Song was not very happy to see Lin Miaoyin, thinking about the recent succession of changes, seeing that he was about to go to control the flood again, he hadn't been with his daughter for a long time, and he didn't feel good in his heart, it just so happened that today was Qixi Festival, Lin Miaoyin's birthday.
"Okay, are you still angry? Birthday, let's go, Dad will take you out for a walk! Lin Song gently scratched Lin Miaoyin's nose with his fingers.
Lin Song didn't say that she forgot about herself, it turned out that today was Qixi Festival, this birthday, only her father and her were left, and she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, so ah, you should be happy, shouldn't you? When my mother sees her happy, she will be happy.
Lin Miaoyin's face was clear, and she immediately grabbed Lin Song's arm, stretched her palm forward, and said with a hippie smile: "Let's go!" ”
Gu Beicheng ran off the roof, and went out of the house directly to get into the carriage, General Li Zhen saw that he came back angrily, and asked with concern: "Son, what's wrong?" ”
"It's okay...... Back to the inn! Gu Beicheng forcibly suppressed the heartache, his voice was a little hoarse, although he was wearing a mask, he clearly saw tears shining in his eyes.
Li Zhen asked half-jokingly: "This is ...... Lost a fight? He also knocked Gu Beicheng's knee with the back of his hand, "It's okay, I'll teach you a few tricks when I go back, and I'm sure to win!" ”
Gu Beicheng hit General Li Zhen's hand with his knee, then stepped aside, didn't say a word, didn't look at Li Zhen, tore off the hat, raised his head back slightly, leaned on the carriage, and as soon as he closed his eyes, a tear sneaked into the mask from the corner of his eye and flowed down his cheek.
What bullshit friends! What a bullshit sachet! People think of themselves as fools, and they still think of others as a treasure! The people of the Southern Jin Dynasty deserve to die, and when I remembered that I saw those women in the Qinglou to welcome them, I laughed secretly in my heart, women, are they all so affectionate? Hateful!
The more Gu Beicheng thought about it, the more angry he became, he took out the judge's pen, panted, and stabbed it the carriage next to him, this unexpected move made General Li Zhen's heart palpitate, he raised his hand and wiped it on his face.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the inn, Gu Beicheng's stomach "gurgling", looked up at the sky, it was time for dinner.
However, some of the vendors on the street did not clean up their stalls, and the shouting was endless, and all the shops had already lit up the lanterns at the doors, and there were even hawkers who hurriedly came out of the stalls with their goods.
The lights on the street are also lit up, all kinds, colorful lights, more and more pedestrians, how can this night be more lively than the day? The coachman got down and led the carriage to turn around, and went to the backyard of the inn, where there was a special guard to keep it.
"Childe, you go in first, order some food, I'll go back when I go!" After General Li Zhen finished speaking, he went towards Guangru Library.
Gu Beicheng found a position by the window and sat down, took off his mask, Xiao Er immediately ran over, took off the rag on his shoulder, quickly wiped the table, and asked with a smile: "What do you want to eat?" Why didn't one of the guest officers come with you? ”
"Signature dishes, pick them up and serve them." Gu Beicheng poured a cup of tea, took a sip.
"Gotcha! It's a coincidence today, Qixi Festival, and I'll give you a small dish! With that, he turned around and went to the kitchen.
Tanabata? No wonder, no wonder the street is so lively, Gu Beicheng looked at the passers-by on the street, today they are all in pairs, not far away, a teenager bought a string of sugar gourds, and the girl next to him, you and I eat one bite at a time.
"Guest officer, the wine and food are ready, you use it slowly!"
Xiao Er's voice dragged Gu Beicheng's thoughts back, he poured a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and had a bitter smile on his face.
Pedestrians outside the window suddenly went in one direction, and a woman said to the man behind her: "Alas, you go quickly, the lantern festival begins!" ”
Lantern Festival? Gu Beicheng looked at the wine glass in his hand, and no one appreciated it, so let's drink, he poured another glass, raised his head, and "banged" his stomach.
After a few glasses of wine, the whole person was fluttering, he took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, put it on the table, and roared: "Little Er!" Well...... Checkout! ”
Xiao Er came over to take a look, the dish was not moving, seeing that he was a little drunk, he asked softly, "Do you want to help you go up and rest?" ”
Gu Beicheng stood up, put on a mask, pushed him away, and went outside without saying a word, just after walking for a while, General Li Zhen came back, Xiao Er told Li Zhen what had just happened, and Li Zhen hurriedly went out to find him.
Lin Song took Lin Miaoyin to the Lantern Festival, every year will send lanterns, the number is limited, there is no more if you go late, you are walking, I don't know who shouted in front of me, "Send lanterns!" The flow of people poured away like a flood, scattering Lin Song and Lin Miaoyin.
The crowd was too crowded, Lin Miaoyin was in the crowd, she was pushed over and knocked over, and the steps on her head were squeezed out, which was bought by her mother, she bent down to pick it up, but was pushed by someone, and the whole person fell to the ground.
Everyone went to the lantern fair, they all wanted to rush to the front to grab the lantern, no one cared that there was a little girl at their feet, Lin Miaoyin couldn't get up at all, she curled up in fear, suddenly, someone pulled her up, dragged her up from the ground, and then grabbed her waist, jumped out of the crowd with her, and came to the river.
This person has a faint smell of wine, wears a mask with a smiling face, wears a silver hairpin, and wears a white brocade robe, both in height and silhouette, he looks like Gu Beicheng.
The two stood facing each other, Lin Miaoyin looked at him stupidly, and subconsciously felt that the person in front of him was Gu Beicheng.
"Gu Beicheng?" Lin Miaoyin raised his hand to take off his mask as he spoke, and Gu Beicheng flashed back.
It happened that a person hurriedly ran to the side and hit Lin Miaoyin, her center of gravity fell backwards, and she fell into the river, only to see that she struggled twice and sank.
Gu Beicheng was frightened, as soon as he took off his mask, he immediately stabbed down, the river was very deep, he swam desperately to Lin Miaoyin, grabbed her floating dress, pulled it up hard, hugged her tightly, and swam to the surface of the water.
The people on the shore were crazy to grab the lanterns, no one noticed that someone fell into the water here, Gu Beicheng finally took Lin Miaoyin out of the water and climbed onto the shore, he shook her with his hand, Lin Miaoyin did not react.
There was no way, Gu Beicheng pressed her chest hard with the palm of his hand, then pinched her mouth open, and was about to blow in, Lin Miaoyin coughed a few times and came back to her senses, only then did someone see them, and more and more people came around.
"Yin'er...... Yin'er! Where are you? Lin Song's voice came.
Gu Beicheng replied loudly: "Here!" ”
After speaking, he got up and squeezed out of the crowd, Lin Song came looking for a voice, picked up Lin Miaoyin, she slowly opened her eyes, and looked at his back in a daze, is it him? Is that person Gu Beicheng?
