Chapter 66: A Story on Paper
In the morning, Qin Huai stretched out and walked out of the house, trying to open her eyes to get used to the sunlight through the clouds, and when she finally opened all her eyes, she found that Gu Baixiu had been standing in the courtyard and looking at her for a long time.
She hurriedly withdrew her outstretched arms, jumped up to him, and asked, "Did Gu Shaoxia find something?" β
Gu Baixiu took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Qin Huaidao: "I received a letter from my junior sister from Biyun Island, she said that An Rumu's sister has been successfully treated, and she and Biyun Island do not owe each other, so we don't have to worry about her." β
Biyun Island and An Rumu or something, Qin Huai didn't know anything, she only remembered that the last time she said goodbye, Liu Yanxin only said that they would meet again, but she didn't tell Qin Huai that she was going there.
After that, Liu Yanxin's itinerary was only known after Qin Huai asked Gu Baixiu, it seemed that Yanxin's mother had a deal with the owner of Biyun Island, and as for what this deal was, Gu Baixiu didn't know very well.
"Sister Yanxin is so smart, of course I'm not worried about her, but isn't she worried about me?"
Qin Huai looked down the letter word by word, for fear of missing a little bit of advice to her.
It was originally a mutter, but Gu Baixiu took it seriously, he smiled slightly, and his tone was light, as if he was stating a certain fact.
"With me by your side, she naturally doesn't need to worry."
This...... It also makes sense.
But what does this phrase mean?
ββThe state of Chu and his party are imminent, and the Three Kingdoms have a long way to go. The mountains and rivers are densely covered, and it is the responsibility of my generation to adapt to the times.
"Hey, does Sister Yanxin still want to go to Chu State? How weird the country of Chu is, and the relationship between the Chu people and us is not harmonious. Is this also your mission to break through the army mountain? β
The state of Chu has never been close to Tianyu and Xijin, and there is no contact with the twelve tribes, they seem to be unique and deliberately want to block themselves, so the rumors about the state of Chu from the outside world are also half-true, mostly ghost anecdotes.
Gu Baixiu's gaze quickly followed the sentence, and after seeing the words, he shook his head, "I can't say anything about this matter for the time being." β
Unspeakable......
Qin Huai always felt that he had heard the word "mountain and river roll" somewhere, as if his father and second emperor had mentioned it a long time ago, but because Qin Huai was still young at that time, he didn't have any memory of that aspect.
However, Gu Baixiu said that he couldn't say it, which meant that he knew why Yan Xin was going, and he also had reason to keep this matter a secret. Qin Huai didn't understand these morals of the people in the rivers and lakes, but since Gu Baixiu chose not to mention them, then Qin Huai had no reason to persecute them.
At the end of the letter, except for the five words "ask Qin Huai'an on behalf of him", there was no other way to mention himself.
It's hard for Qin Huai to often recall the time with Liu Yanxin in Xunyang, do you think that Liu Yanxin has encountered any interesting things, but she didn't expect Liu Yanxin to take her good friend to heart at all.
Qin Huai repacked the letter and returned it to Gu Baixiu, and the whole person could not hide his loss.
"The princess is angry?"
Gu Baixiu looked at her with an abnormal expression, and asked questions after taking the letter.
But where is it so easy to define such a thing as a girl's family not being angry?
"No, how can I be angry, now I'm just a down-and-out princess, and it's already benevolent and righteous for Sister Yanxin to let you take care of me, how dare I force her to think about me a little more." Besides, when I was in Xunyang, I was so fierce to you, you didn't take it to heart, it was already your generosity, if I had the luxury of expecting anything else, I would have to inch in! β
Qin Huai didn't know what he thought, he was forced to complain by a greeting word.
But after listening carefully to Qin Huai's testimonial, Gu Baixiu also commented very naturally.
"The princess seems to be a lot lean today."
He even thought that these words were his own feelings?
"You!"
I wanted to be reasonable, but even if she explained Gu Baixiu, she might not be able to understand.
Looking at Gu Baixiu's puzzled appearance, facing his good-looking face, Qin Huai suddenly deflated, even if he had a big grievance, he endured it, who made him look so good.
"Forget it, I have a headache, I went to sleep."
It's useless to think about it, if you want to leave the cage of Yunzhou, you still have to rely on yourself, it's better to think about how to make your father happy after you go back.
She stepped into the house with one foot, and Gu Baixiu in the courtyard had another proposal that could make her regret it.
"Originally, I wanted to take the princess out to listen to books today, but since the princess has something to do, let's change the day."
"Wait? Whoever said I had something to do, go now. β
Gu Baixiu didn't see how Qin Huai came to his side in two steps, he didn't change his smile, he stretched out his hand and was about to hug Qin Huai and turn it out with light skills, but she refused.
"I'm going to walk out of the gate in the open, and I'm going to see who dares to stop me today."
Gu Baixiu could feel that since Mu Guanqing came, Qin Huai's courage had become more and more bold, and his work had become more and more public, while the rest of the Yan family had also restrained a lot, and he had some demeanor in Xunyang City.
Perhaps, this is what Senior Sister Yanxin often says, the words and deeds of those who are in power can stir up a thousand waves.
"I don't think Gu Shaoxia likes to listen to books, why do you have such leisure today?"
Qin Huai looked at the signboard of Qianqiu Building, and then looked at Gu Baixiu's dress, he didn't look like a person who likes to listen to love stories.
Even if he wanted to come to this place, it should be to hide people's eyes, such as meeting with the disciples of the master's sect, in order to convey the whereabouts of a certain demon who kills people without blinking......
Gu Bai is tall and good-looking, and he is dressed very elegantly, as soon as he enters the teahouse, he becomes the scenery in the eyes of many people, and even Qin Huai has become the object of suspicion of others.
Qin Huai had no choice but to wipe out Fang Cai's conjecture in the cradle.
"Yesterday, when I was close to Shen, Yan Mo Gongzi came to this teahouse, and he deliberately listened to a complete story before leaving, Gu didn't pay attention to it, but Gu felt that the storyteller's story Gu felt familiar."
"DΓ©jΓ vu?"
Could it be that Gu Baixiu had also experienced some immortal love before?
That's impossible!
Gu Baixiu seemed familiar with straightening an upside-down cup from the table and poured Qin Huai a cup of tea, somehow, Qin Huai always felt that he was going to give himself some unexpected surprise.
It was still early at this time, and it should have been the time for the families to come out to buy, but there were already a lot of people sitting in this teahouse, both men and women, and most of them were ordinary people in the market.
Qin Huai had also heard stories on Xunyang Street before, but most of them were places to receive powerful people, and she had never listened to books with ordinary people.
"You guest officers have been waiting for a long time, don't forget to add more clothes to the guest officers who came to listen to the story of the little second child today."
After a while, an old man with a gray beard sat down in front of everyone with a booklet in one hand and a conspicuous figure in the other.
"Last time, we talked about it, the princess of the former dynasty straightened an unfavored young lady in the mansion, and designed to remove the real power of the eldest lady, which is really calling for wind and rain in the mansion."
Isn't this the book that Guandu gave to Qin Huai last time?
What is it called...... Across the clouds?
Yan Mo specially picked a time to go out, just to listen to the revenge history of a princess of the previous dynasty?
"On this day, the handsome boy who all the women in the city want to marry actually came to the door to propose, but guess what our princess said......"
Qin Huai listened to it for a long time, and the more he listened to it, the more confused he became, no, what this princess did and said, why was she so like herself......
Qin Huai looked at Gu Baixiu suspiciously, but he got an affirmative look from him.
He said that this book was indeed made up based on her, so what does it have to do with Yan Mo?
When I recalled that when I flipped through the book before, I seemed to have a special glance at the author, which seemed to be called Mo Yan, taking the meaning of Mo Mo romance.
Ink words, words and ink......
Yan Mo!
No, why didn't she think of it earlier!
This can also explain why there are so many idle books in his room, and it can also explain why he is not interested in dancing knives and guns, but prefers to dance and ink.
However, I am afraid it is not good to use my own deeds to write a story, after all, I haven't agreed to it yet.
Taking advantage of the gap when the storyteller had just finished speaking, Qin Huai whispered with Gu Baixiu.
"Why can the princess of the previous dynasty only be a maid in a big family, am I not worthy of being an aunt? If I want to write it, I will write the kind of story about the young lady who happened to replace someone else's illness and married the prince and general, and it was interesting to dominate the situation in the mansion. β
Qin Huai used to read some picture books written about the general's wife or the princess, so he was quite proficient in this kind of story and could find a synopsis of the story.
But for the first time, the protagonist turned out to have a princess background, but she was a maid, which made it a little difficult to use her imagination.
It was originally a joke, but Gu Baixiu, who had always been able to only touch the meaning of the words, grasped the wrong point again.
"It turns out that the princess prefers to marry the prince and general?"
What kind of thing is this?
Seeing that Gu Baixiu's comprehension ability was limited, Qin Huai immediately changed his words.
"No, no, no, in fact, you don't have to marry those people, the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, in my opinion, the Jianghu who is home from all over the world is not bad, and sometimes it is a kind of comfort to be free."
Looking at Gu Baixiu's thoughtful appearance, Qin Huai secretly scolded himself for being stupid in his heart, and was about to praise Gu Baixiu for relieving his embarrassment, but was interrupted by a sharp female voice.
"Yo, whose son is this, come out with the girl to listen to the book, don't you mind if we have a table?"
Who is the girl?
Qin Huai looked up, just in time to see a woman with a pockmarked face, knocking on their table, and his colleague's eyes were still looking Gu Baixiu up and down.
"You're the girl."
Qin Huai slapped his palm on the table, staring at the woman who had no eyesight.
The people around were shocked, and they all cast their eyes to see the excitement, and there were a lot of stories about beautiful men and faceless women, but this was the first time I encountered them on weekdays.
I thought that with attention, this woman would be restrained, but I didn't expect her to shrug her shoulders and sneer: "Naturally, it's you, looking at your dress, is it possible that you are not a girl or a princess?" β
She borrowed the story of "Across the Clouds" to satirize Qin Huai, but she didn't know that Qin Huai was really a veritable princess.
At this time, Qin Huai was not in a hurry to correct her, but looked down at today's dress for the first time, although it was a simple lotus color, but it was also a good satin, it was obvious that this woman had eyes and no beads.
