Chapter 62: Misunderstanding
She walked in front of everyone, bent down and blessed, with a smile on her face, but a little choked in her throat, "Long time no see." ”
She obviously looked at Zihou, but Nianyun always felt that her words were said to Guo Yan.
Guo Yan probably didn't expect her to suddenly appear here, pretending to check on the family's work, and walked away.
Nian Yun remembered that he brought Li Chang out with him today, which was embarrassing. Looking at Li Chang, she sat very calmly on the side, as if she didn't realize what was happening at all.
But there's no way she doesn't know. When she really puts a person in her heart, she will not ignore his every move and a look, and she will not feel Guo Yan's strangeness. Nian Yun could only secretly admire her calmness in her heart.
Xue Chu'er's gaze swept over Nian Yun's face, and Nian Yun actually felt embarrassed. She has never had any prejudice against her because of Chu'er's identity, but the two people involved are people who are very close to her, and she doesn't know how to face her.
Zihou greeted Chu Er, and said: "I haven't seen you for two years, Xue Duzhi's demeanor is better than back then!" ”
The smile in Xue Chu'er's eyes added a sense of sadness, like riding a horse and whipping through the cold smoke of the decayed grass in late autumn, and the endless gloom.
She lowered her eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Liu Lang is too famous." Like Chu'er, who is still staying in Pingkang at such an age, he is already an old tree withered flower. What kind of banquet is there now, it is all invited to Yan Duzhi of Lingbo Building, and the sisters at the same time as me, who are lucky, have already chosen their belovers to redeem themselves, why are they still beating in this nine-song red dust? ”
Nian Yun couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The flowers in Pingkangfang, no matter how famous they are, are all gorgeous for a while. The hearts of women in the workshop are the easiest to grow old, and people also age quickly.
Most of these little ladies debuted with talent at the age of eleven or twelve, and at the age of fifteen or sixteen, they began to choose good people to sell their bodies, and when they reached the age of eighteen or nineteen or twenty, even if they were old and yellow, their worth plummeted.
Xue Chu'er is now eighteen or nineteen years old, and among these newcomers who are constantly pouring out, he is not young. Guo Yan let go, just because she felt that she could meet better people.
With Xue Duzhi's reputation back then, he must have been a pomegranate skirt with countless ministers. And yet she stayed here...... From the look in her eyes just now, she knew that she was afraid that she had never forgotten Guo Yan. If you wait any longer, it will be nothing more than a lifetime, and there is another Tao Zhuo in the world who is trapped by love.
After Chu'er finished greeting everyone with everyone, she gave Xue Chu'er a look, Xue Chu'er understood, and followed over.
There was some indescribable emotion in the eyes of both of them, and Xue Chu'er opened her mouth first: "Mrs. Guo." ”
Nian Yun was stunned.
Xue Chu'er smiled: "I already knew that you were a woman. With such a beautiful face of yours, it's just a matter of hiding it from those scholars who don't know the world, how can you not see it if no one in Chu'er has seen it? ”
Nian Yun knew that she had misunderstood, and came to Guo Jun that time, and only a few months later, she heard the news of Guo Jun's wedding, and she also ordered someone to send a lot of wealth to her.
wanted to explain, but heard her say: "Seeing that your body is weak now, I think you just gave birth to Lin'er, right?" It was you who knew Guo Lang first, you have such talent and character, and your background is worthy of him, you are much better than me. I think Guo Lang treats you really well, don't worry, the gentleman is so beautiful. Although I, Xue Chu'er, am a woman, I will never win people's love. ”
Nian Yun took her hand and said, "Chu'er, in the past two years, I have suffered you, but it's a pity that ......"
Xue Chu'er interrupted her: "Madame doesn't have to worry about Chu'er, I am relieved to see that Guo Lang is doing well." ”
Nian Yun smiled, I am afraid that these misunderstandings cannot be explained clearly in a few words, and although this person is not her, it is Li Chang. She had already thought about arranging a banquet tomorrow to clarify her identity, so she could naturally solve this misunderstanding first. She said: "The day after tomorrow, my third brother and I will set up a banquet for Brother Liu to catch the wind and wash the dust, you also come, I have a gift for you." ”
Xue Chu'er thought for a while and said, "Okay, I also have a gift for you." ”
Nian Yun pulled her and told her repeatedly: "You must come!" ”
Seeing that it was not early, Nianyun said goodbye to Guo Yan, Li Chang and the scholars, and went home.
Nian Yun said: "Guo San's identity has been revealed, Guo Wu's identity is not difficult to guess, I want to set up a banquet for Brother Liu the day after tomorrow, and find an opportunity to explain to them." ”
Guo Yan said: "I also have this heart, let's set up a banquet in Chengnanzhuang to invite them, at that time you can change your clothes and come out to meet them, naturally you don't have to bother talking!" ”
Chengnanzhuang is the grandfather from the front of the garden, the place is wide, the scenery is very good, there are pavilions and pavilions, flowing water, grandfather was the most like that place during his lifetime, and later handed over to his father, now the eldest brother Guo Zhu's family lives there.
Nianyun had the intention of arranging for Guo Jun and Chu'er to make things clear, so she didn't mention to the two of them that she had invited Xue Chu'er, and only asked Guo Ju to arrange the banquet post.
On the third day, Guo Jun invited all the scholars to a banquet in Chengnan Village, the banquet was not luxurious, but it was extremely delicacies from the mountains and seas, birds and animals, and the wine was also excellent, and the eldest brother Guo Zhu also came out to toast together, which was the descendant of the king of Fenyang, and everyone felt that there was light on their faces.
Liu Zi Houyuan has been absent from Chang'an for more than two years, and now he has only come back, and he was surprised when he didn't know about it, and stepped forward to ask: "I don't know ...... Goro"
Nianyun had been waiting in the wing room for a long time, but he didn't see Xue Chu'er coming, and when he saw Zihou asking, he had to open the curtain and walk out, and laughed loudly: "Guo Wu is here." ”
Everyone looked at it and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman, wearing a green skirt, covered with a primrose-colored half-arm, a sandalwood hairpin on her head and a simple bun, inserting a red and bright peony flower, and coming in one piece.
She didn't have a single gold and jade jewelry on her body, but her eyebrows were more and more lined with emeralds, her eyes were like morning stars, and her whole person was as beautiful as a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world, but she felt that any jewelry seemed vulgar and redundant. Everyone had never seen her in women's clothes, and they only thought that this little Langjun was as handsome as a girl, but they didn't expect her to be really a girl, and she was so beautiful that they were stunned.
Nianyun smiled slightly, poured a glass of wine to toast everyone, and said, "I am Guo Wu, because I went out to play with my brother, I pretended to be a man, please don't blame you." You are all the pillars of my future Datang, and I admire the open-mindedness and insight in the conversation. It's been a pleasure to get to know all of you. I hope that everyone will treat me as just Guo Wu in the future, and don't be alienated because of my identity. ”
Nian Yun said it, but no one was willing to blame her. Such a peerless beauty, if she wants to go to Pingkangli, of course, she has to wear men's clothes, otherwise she will be kicked out long ago. Another good deed person asked: "San Lang, does Sister Ling have a promise?" ”
Guo Yan laughed dryly twice and said, "My little sister married the king of Guangling County two years ago and became the eldest daughter-in-law of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Only then did everyone know that Nian Yun was the daughter of Princess Shengping, and she was the granddaughter of the current saint, and this background was not something that ordinary people could afford.
Guo Yan and Guo Zhu brothers were chatting with the scholars here, and after three rounds of drinking, Nianyun walked up to Zihou and asked with a smile: "Why didn't you see Xue Duzhi?" ”
Liu Zihou took out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "Xue Duzhituo brought a letter below, saying that he wanted to send it...... A gift from the county lady. ”
Nianyun pondered in her heart: What gift does she want to give me? Open it and take a look:
Chu Er Meng Guo Lang was wrong in love, and there was no way to repay it. Today, there are Jiangnan businessmen who have redeemed their lives for their slaves, everything is fine, don't think about it. Chu'er words.
Nianyun was so anxious that he jumped to his feet. Dare to love this Xue Chu'er for being smart, ransomed herself with a businessman, withdrew and retreated, and thought that she could rest assured that she would grow old with Guo Yan from now on?
Nian Yunfeng pulled Guo Yan aside in a hurry and showed the letter to Guo Yun. Guo Yan sighed: "Since my fate with her is over, she chooses someone else, so let her go!" ”
Nian Yun was angry: "Third brother, third brother, are you really stupid or fake stupid, you are simply a coward!" She waited for two years and didn't leave, why did she redeem herself and leave as soon as she saw you yesterday? ”
Guo Yan woke up like a dream, and was stunned: "You mean, she has been waiting for me?" ”
Nianyun patted his head hard: "She thought we were ......"
"So she thinks I've changed my mind and forgotten about her completely?"
Nianyun said: "I also saw her yesterday, and I really can't bear it...... I said yesterday that I was going to give her a gift, firstly, to explain my identity clearly in front of everyone, and secondly, to redeem her, whether she is with you or in the world, I want to do something for her, at least she is the person my brother loved deeply. ”
Guo Yan is a fan of the authorities, and when it comes to himself, he is stupid.
"So what do I do now?"
"Go find her! Since she said that she would only redeem herself today, she shouldn't have left Chang'an City so soon. You take more people, look everywhere, and find her. In any case, give her a free body first, and then explain the misunderstanding to her face to face. If she decides to leave, respect her choice. If...... You can do it! ”
"Then you greet the guests for me, and I'll go!" As soon as Guo Yan put the wine glass down, he was about to run out.
"Hey......"
Guo Yan stopped, "What? ”
"Don't hurt Chang'er."
"I know."
Everyone feasted and drank until the evening. Nianyun and Guo Zhu sent them out together, and Zihou said: "I have eyes below that don't know gold and jade, and I have always neglected Mrs. Jun......"
Nianyun said with a smile: "I am Guo Wu, Guo Wu is me, even today, I am still the same Guo Wu, and I hope my brother will not worry about this matter." Guo Wu has always admired his brother's mind and literary talent, and if his brother is promoted in the future, he hopes not to look down on the younger brother's woman's opinion. Next time Guo Wu goes out to play, I hope my brother won't avoid me. ”
Zihou really appreciated her, and since she said so, she also made a serious gesture and said with a smile: "As long as the virtuous brother doesn't dislike us as mountain villagers." ”
Nian Yun patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said goodbye to him.
