Chapter 546: Chance Encounter
At this time, Gu Jiu didn't know that these changes didn't come from her at all, but someone else.
Because he had let go of a matter in his heart, after he was able to get into the carriage, Gu Jiu's expression was obviously much more relaxed.
When the day came, Qin Zheng was riding a horse, but now it was already dark, and he had just been drinking, so now he got into the carriage with his mother and daughter-in-law.
After getting the Vermilion Bird Street, the Lin family asked the carriage to stop, and said to them with a smile: "It's lively outside at this time, don't hurry home, Zheng'er, take your daughter-in-law for a turn." ”
Gu Jiu was originally a little drowsy, but when she heard her words at this time, she instantly woke up, because she smiled and said, "Mother, let's go together, tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival, it's very lively outside." ”
Although it is now approaching, because of the festival, the streets are full of people, and the roadside vendors are shouting and drinking, and even the air is full of sweet smells.
The Lin family had the intention to let the young couple get along more, where would it be an eyesore at this time, so he smiled and waved his hand and said: "I won't go, my mother has always gone to bed early, and it's a little late at this time, I'm going to go back and rest first." ”
When she said this, seeing that Gu Jiu wanted to refuse, Fu smiled and patted her hand again and said, "You young people should go out to play more, such a good day, sleep at home, and learn what I do as an old woman?" Go, go, go. ”
Lin Shi said as he gave Qin Zheng a look.
These days, Qin Zheng is very busy, rarely accompanying Gu Jiu, the Lin family has already planned, just take this opportunity to let the two of them get along well.
This relationship is getting deeper and deeper the more we get along. Although the two young couples are mixing oil in honey, they also have to live well in order to make their lives better.
The Lin family had a good calculation in his heart, so he naturally refused to join in the fun with the couple.
Gu Jiu persuaded her for a long time, but in the end, Lin smiled and patted her hand, and said, "Mother knows that you have a heart, but my old bones can't withstand the toss, it's not too early, so I'll go back to sleep first." ”
Seeing that she yawned when she said this, Gu Jiu didn't force her, but just smiled: "Then mother will be slower when she goes back." ”
After she said this, she didn't feel at ease, and she diligently told the maids and servants, and the eyes of the Lin family were full of smiles.
Qin Zheng followed the instructions, and after the carriage left, he took Gu Jiu's hand and walked slowly along the side of the road.
The night was dark, but the streets were full of pedestrians, and the palms of the men beside her were warm, and when he held her hand, Gu Jiu's heart warmed up.
She quietly looked up at the man next to her, only to see his gaze towards her.
The stars are shining, and the light in his eyes is more abundant than the starlight.
Gu Jiu inexplicably felt that the previous wine was a little stronger.
Her fingers were folded, and she used some force to grasp his hand.
Naturally, this little action did not hide from Qin Zheng, and the smile in his eyes was a little more, and he smiled: "Silly girl." ”
Gu Jiu glanced at him, and saw that the man's eyes were doting, and he couldn't help laughing, and said coquettishly: "Husband, are you hungry, I'm hungry." ”
When he was in the palace before, Gu Jiu didn't dare to let go of eating too much, and after meeting Princess Tai'an later, he lost his appetite. So at this point, she was hungry again.
The little girl's voice was delicate, and Qin Zheng sighed and smiled: "Let's go, let's eat." ”
It's just that tonight is special, and the two went to several restaurants one after another but didn't find a vacant seat.
It seems that tonight is like this, and it is necessary to book a restaurant in advance.
Rao is Qin Zheng, and he was helpless in the face of this situation, but Gu Jiu couldn't help but smile when he saw his embarrassed appearance: "Husband is so stupid." ”
When the little girl said this, her eyes were full of cunning, but Qin Zheng, who was looking at it, smiled helplessly: "Do you have a way?" ”
Hearing this, Gu Jiu nodded matter-of-factly, and then took his hand and said, "Husband, come with me." ”
Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so there is naturally no place in the store, but that doesn't mean there is no outside the store.
Not to mention that there are food sellers on both sides of this street, but there are also some small shops in the corners, and the taste of the food is also unique.
Gu Jiu was confident, and led Qin Zheng to turn four or five alleys before arriving outside a small shed in the middle of nowhere.
It was a stall propped up by a straw hut, with a few stools on the side, and four or five customers sat sparsely.
The shopkeeper is a couple, about fifty miles away. The old lady was making wontons, and the old man on the side was busy boiling water to cook wontons, the lid of the pot was lifted, steaming, and the ingot-like wontons were fished out and put in a bowl with mixed soup, and the fragrance instantly wafted away.
The two old men cooperate tacitly, and they don't have to be close to each other to feel the warmth.
Qin Zheng was originally thinking about where Gu Jiu was going to take him, but now that he saw that she came to a small stall, he immediately smiled with some surprise: "Is this here?" ”
Seeing this, Gu Jiu nodded first, and then said: "Husband, don't underestimate here, their wontons are a must, and you won't forget them once you eat them." ”
Speaking of which, she stumbled upon it last time, and fell in love with it as soon as she ate it. It's just that in normal times, there is no chance to bring Qin Zheng here.
It's a coincidence.
Hearing the little girl's strong promotion, Qin Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then the husband has to try it." Boss, two bowls of ravioli. ”
I said this to the store.
The shopkeeper happily responded, and asked them to find a place to sit by themselves, while taking the wrapped wontons and putting them in the pot.
The old man was quick to do things, but in a moment he brought the wontons over.
The soup is a bone broth that has been boiled for a long time, and the milky white soup is sprinkled with a handful of chopped green onions, and a small wonton floats on it, and then a spoonful of red oil fried by chili peppers is poured on it, which is enough to comfort the stomach of pedestrians in such a late autumn night.
Gu Jiuduo put a spoonful of chili peppers, and after stirring them, he didn't eat them immediately, but looked at Qin Zheng expectantly, and said, "Husband, you can taste it, whether it's delicious or not." ”
The little girl's expression was full of anticipation, and Qin Zheng, who saw it, couldn't help but smile, nodded in response, and scooped a wonton with a spoon.
The aroma spreads in the mouth instantly.
Qin Zheng took another sip of soup, and after swallowing it, he smiled and said, "What Madame said is not bad, it is really delicious." ”
It was a simple bowl of wontons, but in Qin Zheng's heart, it was much more delicious than the delicacies in Fang Cai's Palace.
Hearing his praise, Gu Jiu's smile suddenly became a little more.
Just now, she thought that people like Qin Zheng couldn't get used to this.
But thinking about it, Qin Zheng has never been squeamish, but he thinks too much.
She smiled and nodded in response, and took a spoon to eat the ravioli herself.
Seeing her bowing her head to eat wontons, Qin Zheng turned his head to look at her.
The little girl's innocence and recklessness are such a valuable quality in his eyes. However, in the standards of those family members, she doesn't understand the rules.
Thinking of this, Qin Zheng lowered his eyes and smiled again, but isn't that what he loves, Gu Jiu.
Although Gu Jiu was eating with his eyes down, the man's eyes were so hot, and Gu Jiu's cheeks were a little hot when he saw it.
She is not a fool, she can naturally feel Qin Zheng's eyes.
She was a little shy to be seen, and she wanted to say something, but she heard a familiar voice coming: "Boss, two bowls of wontons." ”
The voice......
Gu Jiu instantly looked up and met their gaze.
The people opposite, or rather, the two people opposite, were slightly stunned after seeing Qin Zheng and his wife.
It was Jiang Daochen, and the woman he was carrying next to him was Mu Ning, who had not been seen for a long time.
Jiang Daochen reacted first, and nodded: "My lord, madam, what a coincidence." ”
The smile in Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, nodded lightly, and glanced at the woman next to him quietly.
Without waiting for Jiang Daochen to speak, he saw Mu Ning coming over very familiarly, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Qin, let's meet again." ”
Different from her embarrassment when she saw her last time, this time, Mu Ning seemed to be plump, and the smile in her eyebrows and eyes was full of charm, Rao is Gu Jiu knew that she was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface, but when she saw Mu Ning's appearance, her defense couldn't help but lower a lot.
After all, beauties have the capital to be easily forgiven, not to mention, this person ...... Or Mo Yunsleeve.
Gu Jiu had already heard what Qin Zheng had said about back then, so when he saw her at this time, he was a little more sympathetic. Qishu.com
"Well, what a coincidence."
Gu Jiu greeted her, but Mu Ning looked around, and then smiled: "There is no place here, does Madam mind if we sit at a table?" ”
Jiang Daochen suddenly came over and pulled her, but said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I've disturbed the adult's Yaxing, let's buy food and leave." ”
Seeing this, Qin Zheng said lightly: "It's okay, this wonton has to be hot to be delicious, won't it be cold if you bring it back?" Have a seat. ”
Hearing Qin Zheng's words, Jiang Daochen swallowed all the other words, and seeing that Mu Ning had already sat down with a smile, he could only respond: "Thank you, madam, then there will be a lot of disturbance." ”
Seeing the two of them sit down, Gu Jiu somehow felt that the atmosphere was a little more weird.
The four of them were all sitting at the same table, Qin Zheng originally didn't talk much, Jiang Daochen was not a person who talked much, as for Mu Ning, although there was a smile in her eyes, she was looking at Gu Jiu.
Seeing this, Gu Jiu sighed slightly in his heart, remembered one more thing, and said with a smile: "Boss Mu, your cat is still with me, will I send it back to you another day?" ”
Before, Mu Ning was knocked unconscious by Jiang Daochen and taken away, and Armang became a pitiful little man who was left unattended, and after Gu Jiu took it in, now this little pitiful has become a big demon king who has plagued the family.
Gu Jiuyang also had some feelings, so he was naturally reluctant to send it back. But what is Mu Ning's cat, where does she have the reason to dominate?
Hearing Gu Jiu's words, Mu Ning was not surprised at all, and shook her head with a smile: "It's inconvenient for the concubine to be now, I don't know if I can bother Mrs. Qin to help raise it for a while?" ”
In this regard, Gu Jiu was naturally willing, so he nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay, then when it's convenient for you, just come and pick it up." ”
Hearing this, Mu Ning thanked her with a smile, and asked her again: "Is Amang good?" ”
"Naturally, it's well-behaved."
Gu Jiu has raised it with feelings over time, and thinks that Armang is cute even when he is naughty.
It's a pity that Qin Zheng doesn't think so, after all, this black cat has sneaked into the room several times, occupied their bedside, and tried to drive Qin Zheng, the main master, out!
He didn't care about a cat, let alone a woman, so he threw his anger on Jiang Daochen: "Aren't you on duty tonight, come out at this time, but it's all arranged?" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Daochen immediately responded respectfully: "Lord Hui, everything has been arranged, you just have to rest assured." ”
Qin Zheng said in his heart that he was naturally relieved, but he was just looking for trouble, but he couldn't say this, so he only nodded and said, "Remember to go back at night, don't delay the business." ”
Jiang Daochen naturally agreed.
Gu Jiu only glanced at Qin Zheng and knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, while quietly grabbing his hand.
Seeing this, Qin Zheng glanced at her, but mistakenly thought that she was cold, so he immediately changed his proper expression and asked, "But it's cold, why don't we go back?" ”
Hearing this, Gu Jiu suddenly shook his head with a smile and said, "No, husband, why don't you eat?" ”
Qin Zheng took the chopsticks in response, and looked at the two people sitting in front of him, whether they had eaten or not.
There are still two people sitting in front of him who have nothing to eat, and he is eating and others are watching, and it is not good to look at it.
Fortunately, the wontons in that store were made really quickly, but after a few moments, they were served.
Mu Ning was really hungry, smiled and thanked her, and took the chopsticks first and started eating.
Jiang Daochen originally came with her, and he was not very hungry at this time, so he only took a spoon and drank the soup, and then ate slowly.
However, this wonton is really delicious, so Rao didn't have much appetite and ate some of it.
Gu Jiu was satisfied with eating, chatting with Mu Ning at the same time.
Mu Ning has always been talkative, and she can talk to Gu Jiushi, which she has discovered since before.
Rao was wary of her identity, but when he chatted with her, he felt very pleasant.
As he spoke, he talked about tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival.
Mu Ning didn't know what to think, so she asked with a smile, "Madam, can you go out of the city tonight?" ”
Hearing this, Gu Jiu shook his head and said with a smile: "Not yet, you have walked around, is there anything interesting over there?" ”
Mu Ning nodded in response, told her about the interesting things outside, and said with a smile at the end: "But speaking of which, the excitement is true, but unfortunately it's not very fun, but it's a waste of effort." ”
She chatted with Gu Jiu, while Qin Zheng got up to settle the bill, and seeing this, Jiang Daochen also followed.
Gu Jiu didn't see the appearance of the two, and he chatted with Mu Ning.
Qin Zheng gave several people's wonton money, looked at Jiang Daochen and followed, and asked softly, "Why did you bring her out tonight?" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Daochen's expression suddenly became a little more surprised, because he replied softly: "Lord Hui, she is bored at home, I will take her out for a walk." ”
Jiang Daochen said, and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, my lord, I can ensure that it is safe and will not mess around." ”
For Jiang Daochen, Qin Zheng was naturally relieved, so he nodded and said, "You don't have to explain so much to me, just know it in your heart." ”
Seeing this, Jiang Daochen immediately nodded in response, and heard Qin Zheng say again: "There are still ......."
Before he spoke, he heard Gu Jiu call him: "Husband." ”
Hearing this, Qin Zheng restrained the coldness in his expression, agreed, and turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Gu Jiu's eyes were full of a yearning smile, and he asked, "If it's convenient, how about we go to Lord Jiang's other courtyard later?" Boss Mu said that she had recently brewed wine and invited us to come over and taste it. ”
Just now, when she talked to Mu Ning about making wine, she was a little addicted.
As soon as she said this, Jiang Daochen immediately glanced at Mu Ning as if warning, but saw the other party's provocative smile, and said softly: "Don't worry, my lord, there is nothing unclean in the concubine's wine." ”
Gu Jiu looked at Qin Zheng with some expectation, his eyes full of anticipation.
Seeing Gu Jiu's appearance, Qin Zheng nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
He happened to have something to look for Jiang Daochen, and now that he has passed, he will have to go to him alone.
Besides, he is also sure, with his own presence, Mu Ning does not dare to mess around.
Gu Jiu is looking forward to it, Mu Ning is provocative, and Qin Zheng is indifferent.
Among them, the only one who sweated in his heart was Jiang Daochen.
Seeing this, Jiang Daochen had no choice but to nod and say, "In this case, please do it." ”
The group went to the other courtyard, and the original plan to go shopping was ruined.
Gu Jiu didn't plan to eat wontons at that time, and Mu Ning was also a little hungry, so after going back, he first ordered the kitchen to make another table of wine and food, and said with a smile: "Wait for me for a while, the concubine will go and get wine for you to drink." ”
When she did these things, her expression naturally looked like the hostess here, Gu Jiu glanced at Jiang Daochen thoughtfully.
Immediately, Jiang Daochen said sorry and said, "Go down to the kitchen and take a look, my lord, madam, you sit down for a while." ”
Seeing that he was also gone, Gu Jiu said softly: "Husband, why do I think there is something wrong between them." ”
It was clear that the last time, when Mu Ning was taken away, the mood was still very wrong, but this time, it seemed that she was very used to this day.
It's not like being tied up, but it's like a couple of people living together.
This cognition made Gu Jiu also ask with some suspicion: "You say, did that Boss Mu remember something?" ”
For example, her identity.
Hearing this, Qin Zheng shook his head and said, "No." ”
He always felt that this Mu Ning was holding back his demons.
Seeing that Qin Zheng said so firmly, Gu Jiu couldn't help but smile and said, "No matter what, we'll know later." ”
The reason why she came over tonight was not to drink, but she saw that Qin Zheng had something to do with Jiang Daochen, so she agreed.
Naturally, for some other purpose.
For example, watching a play.
