Chapter 22: Cannes
Gu Huanyi still has an understanding of this.
still remembers that in the spring, Lin Youhai came to spy on Li Congxin's injury, and Gu Huanyi just used scissors to cut his fingers as a cover, which made Li Congxin angry.
It can be seen that if King Ming sacrifices himself, how angry, remorseful, and hateful he will be.
Li Congxin saw that she was always absent-minded, and sighed helplessly.
He said this to her today, not because he was drunk, nor did he expect her to understand his decision to give up his heir, but because he expected her to remember not to sacrifice herself for him.
After the death of King Ming in the previous life, Li Congxin was estranged from the emperor, and his prejudices deepened, and finally the emperor abolished his crown prince and replaced Li Chengxu, the son of King Jixian, as his heir.
After Li Congxin and Gu Huanyi met, the two gradually discovered the conspiracy of King Xian's father and son, and in the process of joint verification, Gu Huanyi died for Li Congxin.
Every time Li Congxin thought of the events of that year, he deeply blamed himself, he never wanted to see Gu Huanyi die for him again.
He didn't know if today's conversation would make Gu Huanyi remember, and he would have to find an opportunity to talk to her repeatedly in the future.
Because Li Congxin stayed at home, the two talked about serious topics before going to bed, so Gu Huanyi didn't sleep well, and got up early the next day to have breakfast.
But Li Congxin got up earlier than her, and when Gu Huanyi came to the courtyard, Li Congxin was already practicing swords.
Li Congxin's swordsmanship is like a dragon, fast and steady, with an elegant posture, in the dark dawn and morning light, he only feels that there are many phantoms.
Gu Huanyi knew a little about swordsmanship, and after only a few moves, he knew that Li Congxin's martial arts were extremely high, and he was envious for a while.
Li Congxin put the sword back into its sheath, walked up to Gu Huanyi with a slight sweat on his forehead, and asked, "Why did you get up so early?" Did I wake you up? ”
Gu Huanyi shook his head: "The guests are all awake, how can my master's family still be sleepy?" But you don't have a lot of sleep, do you? Is it that you can't sleep in a bed? ”
Li Congxin said: "I'm used to getting up early to exercise, and I'll wake up when the time comes." ”
Gu Huanyi secretly exclaimed, such diligence was better than that of his brother, and it should be very rare among the princes and nobles.
To have an identity, to have talent, and to be so diligent, Gu Huanyi admires him even more!
When Song Zhengrui got up, the two children had already finished breakfast and put on their cloaks and were ready to go out.
He said embarrassedly: "Yesterday I was greedy for a cup, and I overslept for a while, which was rude." ”
Gu Huanyi pursed his lips and smiled: "It's not that my uncle is late, it's that we got up too early." ”
Now that the sun has not yet appeared, the white belly of the fish has only appeared on the horizon.
Song Zhengrui saved some face and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Gu Huanyi said: "The prince said that he came in a hurry this time, and he didn't bring a New Year's gift, so he had to take me out to buy." ”
"Ah...... Wouldn't it be bad for you to go out on the streets like this? Song Zhengrui worried.
People with status in Liangzhou all know Gu Huanyi, she will be recognized when she appears, and with a very conspicuous Li Congxin, it can be said that she is swaggering through the market.
Gu Huanyi said: "Uncle, don't worry, let's go to Cannes." ”
Liangzhou is the largest city in the most border area of the north, mainly as the place where the official office and the military camp are stationed, although there are also markets, but because there are often wars, the scale is not large, only for the local military and civilian life supply.
Kangcheng, 30 miles south of Liangzhou, is protected by Liangzhou barriers in the north, and several big cities such as Dijing and Yongjing in the south are the main places for border trade.
Song Zhengrui nodded, looked at Li Congxin again, there were only two guards behind him, and said worriedly: "There are fewer people, why don't you transfer a few martial artists from Master Wang's side to go with you." ”
Gu Huanyi shook his head and said, "It's inconvenient to have a lot of people. ”
After seeing Li Congxin's swordsmanship in the morning, Gu Huanyi was still more relieved.
After preparing the horses, Li Congxin, Gu Huanyi and the other four went south to Cannes.
At daylight, the crowd arrived in Cannes.
At this time, it is the time to buy New Year's goods, and the city is very lively, the market is crowded, and the air is filled with the heat of selling breakfast, and the sound of selling is endless.
Gu Huanyi has often come to Cannes to play since he was a child, and the calligraphy and paintings of the Hall of Regrets, the jewelry of Diancuige, the dim sum of the guests, the leather goods of Guan Shanyue, and the weapons of the Star Casting Workshop are all extremely famous within a radius of 100 miles.
After entering the city, Li Congxin let go of Haikou and let her buy whatever she wanted, without having to save money for her.
Gu Huanyi was a little unable to let go at first, but she hadn't been on the street for more than half a year because of her filial piety, and after visiting two shops, she completely opened her hands and feet.
And Li Congxin also understands her mind very well, not only is she very patient when she buys things, but also when giving reference advice, she often says that Gu Huanyi's heart is up.
Gu Huanyi prefers patterns such as rabbits, butterflies, camellias, and kingfishers, and her mother used to say that these styles were not atmospheric enough, so she always bought her clothes and jewelry such as Meilan, Zhuju, Four Gentlemen, or Songhe, Lotus, etc.
When choosing fabrics and jewelry this time, whenever he asked Li Congxin's opinion, he always pointed to the type that Gu Huanyi liked, which made Gu Huanyi particularly happy.
After shopping all morning, the harvest was quite fruitful, and the swagger of the four masters and servants with large bags and small bags passed through the market, which was very eye-catching.
When it was time for lunch, the two of them were going to go back to Liangzhou after eating something in the drunken building.
After sitting down, Gu Huanyi looked at the two guards who were carrying their own things, and said apologetically: "Let the prince break the bank." ”
Li Congxin smiled: "Ordinary objects, why bother with money for me." ”
When I was in Diancui Pavilion before, there was a set of butterfly crowns among the flowers, the style and workmanship were excellent, Gu Huanyi clearly liked it very much, but a full set of gold jewelry was very expensive, and she refused to ask for it on the grounds that she could not wear it during the filial piety period.
Gu Huanyi is not short of money, if she spends her own money, it is okay to buy it first and put it away later, but because it is Li Congxin's money, she doesn't want it.
Li Congxin knew that she was meeting with herself, so she didn't persuade her, so she went back and asked Liu Pei to buy it and send it over.
After the two of them had eaten and rested for a while, they planned to go back as soon as possible, so as not to be unsafe to travel at night.
Coming out of the drunken building, a group of frolicking children broke over on the road.
Li Congxin protected Gu Huanyi to dodge, but he himself was hit by a young man next to him.
Gu Huanyi only heard Li Congxin sneer, and before he could react, Li Congxin ran after the young man.
She looked at the two guards in amazement, and the two guards looked at her in amazement.
"There is a thief, chase after him." Gu Huanyi said.
The guards hurriedly put down their things and chased Li Congxin and the thieves into the alley.
Gu Huanyi was a little anxious, Li Congxin was a dignified son, and he had to chase a thief in person, he really didn't know what to say.
She waited at the door of the drunken building for a while, wanting to find it, but she was afraid of getting separated.
Just as he was hesitating, he saw Li Congxin come back with the guards.
