Chapter 48: The Tortoiseshell Comb

Since sending the set of tortoiseshell combs to Shengping Mansion, Nianyun waited for two or three days, but did not find out that Guo Yan made an appointment to meet Li Chang.

It is not difficult for Guo Yan to enter and exit the East Palace now, but he has not come to the door for several days, and he has not even come to see her.

Nianyun couldn't help but think: When did he become so sullen that he didn't dare to say it to his face if he liked other girls? Could it be that someone sent the things? According to Li Chang's temper, she wished that Nianyun had known that she had gotten along with Guo Yan earlier.

After waiting for a few more days, he still didn't see Li Chang holding the tortoiseshell comb to show off, Nianyun couldn't sit still, put on a men's dress, took a horse from the stable and ran back to find Guo Yan.

Guo Yan is not in Shengping Mansion. Nianyun asked Menzi, but said that he didn't know. Nianyun was so anxious that he ran in to find the little guy in Guo Yan's courtyard, and the little guy said that San Lang had been going to Qiyue Tower recently.

Qiyue Building.

Nianyun's heart sank little by little, maybe what she thought was a good marriage was just Li Chang's wishful thinking. If the girl Guo Jun likes is a singer and dancer in Pingkangli, things will be a little difficult to do.

Nian Yun rode his horse and galloped, and soon arrived at Qiyue Tower. Because she had been here a few times, the maid with some eyesight immediately recognized her and greeted her with a smile: "Gorou came alone today?" Do you want to listen to a little song? ”

Nianyun shook his hand: "Is my third brother here?" ”

The maid smiled and took her upstairs: "San Lang is in Xue Duzhi's house." ”

Nian Yun felt that his steps were very heavy, and he followed the maid upstairs step by step, almost unable to stand on his feet.

The maid stretched out her hand to help her, and said with a smile: "The fifth prince is really jade-handed, even we women are ashamed of ourselves!" Nian Yun had no intention of laughing, and followed her upstairs sullenly.

At the end of the corridor, there was a wooden door carved with lotus flowers, Nianyun stood at the door, listening to the murmuring sound of the piano in the room, and he couldn't knock on the door. After a long time, he slowly raised his hand and knocked lightly three times.

The door opened, but it was Xue Chu'er who opened the door. Nianyun was stunned for a moment, and Xue Chu'er had already smiled: "Fifth son, please come in." ”

The sound of the piano was not interrupted, Nian Yun raised his feet and walked in, only to find that it was not Xue Chu'er who was playing the piano, but Guo Yan, dressed in white, sitting with the piano in his arms, his hair scattered, like an immortal.

He didn't look up at all, and didn't slowly withdraw his hand until the end of the song, smiling and looking up at Nianyun, his eyes wanton and gentle.

Nianyun turned her head to look at Xue Chu'er, and between her buns, there was indeed that set of tortoiseshell combs.

In an instant, many thoughts were realized, just as a man standing in the wilderness with nowhere to run was always facing the dark clouds in the sky, and the raindrops of beans finally crackled down.

There is not only a kind of relief that finally waited for the result and let go of the stone hanging in his heart, but also a kind of despair that was finally drenched but had nowhere to hide, slowly pretending to be in his eyes, and looked at Guo Yan with grievances.

Guo Yan looked at Nianyun, then at Xue Chu'er, and smiled gently: "Chu'er, you go out first." ”

Xue Chu'er was not surprised, smiled obediently, saluted, and retired.

Nian Yun's eyes suddenly became full of resentment when he looked at him, and he sneered angrily: "I heard that the suave Guo Jia Saburo plays the piano very well, I haven't heard of it, but I didn't expect to play the piano for the woman of Qiyue Lou in Pingkangli, and it was passed out to laugh out and lose people's teeth!" ”

Guo Yan looked at her quietly, neither angry nor angry, without the slightest intention of admitting his mistakes, and he did not intend to respond to Nian Yun's anger.

He gently took the piano aside, gently beckoned her to come over, pulled her to sit down on the couch, rested her head on his lap, reached out to arrange her hair, which had been frizzy from the wind, and pulled the collar of her disheveled clothes for her.

Such a gentle movement made Nian Yunhuo's anger disappear a little inexplicably, raised his head to look at him, and asked, "Third brother, have you met your sweetheart?" ”

He nodded slightly, "Yes." ”

Nian Yun slowly lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I always thought that your gift was for Li Chang......"

Guo Yan has been rolling in Pingkang with such a gentleman since he was ten years old, and he has seen a lot of wind and moon, how could he not know that the county lord's careful thoughts about him!

"Didn't you always want me to find you a sister-in-law quickly, I found it, don't you like it?"

Nian Yun pursed her lips: "I don't like her to be my sister-in-law, she is not worthy of you." ”

Although these words questioned his vision, they were heard.

Guo Yan reached out and pinched her small mouth that could hold the oil pot: "Tell me, why is she not worthy of your brother?" Your third brother is the most beautiful man in the world, and he is chic, talented, and extremely smart, right? ”

Nian Yun was completely lost his temper by his words, almost laughed, forced his face, and gave him a blank look: "I've never seen yourself boasting like this, I think you are the first cheeky man in the world!" ”

Guo Yan saw that she couldn't help but laugh and didn't want to laugh, and said with a smile: "It's okay to be the first cheeky in the world, anyway, it's the first in the world, and it's my sister who sealed it, thank you Lord Longen!" ”

Nianyun jumped up and knocked him on the head, and the two siblings giggled again.

Guo Yan is a prodigal son, and getting angry with him is fruitless. Nianyun lowered his eyes and sighed lightly, "Third brother, I still like you to marry a lady smoothly." ”

"When Chu'er was very young, because her father died of illness and her mother had no male under her knees, she was kicked out by her in-laws, so she had no choice but to remarry. A few years later, her mother also died, and her husband's family disliked her as an oil bottle, so they sold her to the workshop. Chu'er's background is not her fault, she is a poor person, it is not easy, I think you can understand......"

Xue Chu'er was born beautifully, and it can be said that she is both talented and beautiful. Nianyun doesn't really look down on the wind and dust woman, Aunt Wei was also like this.

Nian Yun buried his face in his lap: "I can understand, I can understand!" It's not that I dislike her for being from a teaching workshop, but I ...... I just thought that you could marry a good wife who was well-matched, don't be so ill-fated, don't follow the old path of your aunt and third uncle! ”

If it is Li Chang, maybe he only needs his mother to find someone to go to the East Palace to propose marriage, so that there is no harm in both parties, and they will definitely succeed.

She hopes that Guo Yan loves Li Chang, so that he can marry his beloved smoothly and smoothly, and not be like her.

But Xue Chu'er, Nianyun didn't dare to think about it.

Guo Yan is not the kind of man who likes three wives and four concubines to enjoy the blessings of all people, if he really identifies Xue Chuer, he must not be willing to marry someone else, and things will become difficult.

The children of the Guo family, why are they so bumpy here!

Guo Yan sighed in his heart and stroked her hair: "Silly girl, don't worry. Although I can't tell the media that I am marrying Chu'er, I can not marry a wife first. I think the third uncle will definitely support me, don't you say? ”

Third uncle, that's nature, Nianyun nodded.

Since Nianyun discovered Guo Yan's secret, he didn't know how to face Li Chang, so he simply avoided her for three days. However, Li Chang was very persistent, and ran to her every day, but he had no choice but to face her hard, thinking about how to prevent her from mentioning Guo Yan.

Li Chang didn't follow, and asked straight to the point: "Did you run out to see San Lang last time?" ”

Calling him San Lang so affectionately, Nian Yun really didn't dare to accept it, so he had to say, "I'...... I didn't have ......"

Li Chang rolled his eyes, "Come on, you stutter as soon as you lie." You must have gone to see Guo Sanlang, and you won't see me when you see him when you come back, he must have told you something. Hey, what the hell did he tell you? ”

It's really a pot that can't be opened. Nian Yun wanted to divert the topic, but Li Chang chased after him: "Did he tell you that he didn't like me?" Or does he have someone he likes? Good sister-in-law, tell me, which girl does he like? ”

Nianyun shook her head, she really didn't know what to say. Li Chang ran over and shook her: "Good sister-in-law, just tell me, it's not a betrayal of your brother!" ”

Seeing that Nianyun didn't speak, Li Chang said again: "I like him, I just want to tell everyone that I like him openly, you believe me, I won't make it bad!" ”

Naturally, she is not afraid that she will be bad, although she is pampered, she does not have these inferior wrists.

Nian Yun was still thinking about how to speak, but Li Chang snapped and said, "If he likes the eldest lady of which family, I don't think you will be so spittering." I guess what he likes must be a girl with a bad status, are you afraid that I will bully her? I won't, you see my brother also has two concubines, I agree that it is good for him to take a concubine first, I ......"

Nianyun was simply made a big deal by her, sat down with her, and sighed: "My aunt, don't quarrel, you guess right, but whether to marry or not is also my brother's own decision, how can I be the master!" ”

Li Chang was honest and sat aside with his lips pouted. Nian Yun couldn't bear it again, and comforted: "There are so many good sons and daughters in Chang'an City, as long as you are willing, who else can you marry?" My brother is a tenacious person in this regard, and he has identified a person who is not easy to change. If you can forget him, forget him. ”

"What I like is his tendon character! It is not easy for him to fall in love with me, and naturally it is not easy to fall in love with others. If I can make him love me a point, it will be a point that will never be lost, and it is better than ten points that come and go quickly. If my husband treats me well, but if I marry a large group of concubines and treat them well, what am I going to do? ”

Li Chang is the best, it seems that it is not easy to get along, but in fact, she is the most transparent, and she has always been very clear in major matters, no wonder the saint favors her the most.

"Don't worry, my brother won't marry a young lady easily."

Li Chang was silent for a while, and suddenly looked up at Nianyun: "You and my brother didn't get along before. I heard them say that he actually went to Hui Niang's side on the night of the wedding, is it true? ”

"Hmm."

"Then why is it all of a sudden? My brother has come to see you every day, and the county lady's golden seal has also given you, and you are allowed to enter and leave the Chongwen Palaceβ€”I heard that Hui Niang was so angry that she almost had a tire. Good sister-in-law, teach me! ”

Nianyun sighed, how can this be taught?

Does Lee Chun love her? She wasn't sure, but she knew that he and she were the perfect pair of allies at the moment. His heart is divided into many places to pretend to be his home and country, and she helps him rectify the East Palace and clean up the evils of the times, so he naturally wants to treat her better.

Guo Yan is different, his temperament is ...... Take 10,000 steps back, even Guo Yan can regard Li Chang as an ally, but if there is so much hypocrisy and pretense, is Li Chang willing to do it?

Nian Yun smiled bitterly: "My brother is the same as Chun." ”
