Chapter 119: Boudoir Chatter
Gu Chao thought for a while and said.
"Yes! Now that I have opened such a big inn with a thriving business, it is better to support myself and be happy every day than to marry to that remote place and be looked down upon by those elders and gossip every day. ”
"Indeed."
Thinking of this, Gu Chao couldn't help but want to ask a few more words.
"Ling Zhuo, you said that you haven't married a wife yet, wouldn't it be because the person you like was also rejected by the elders of the Li family?"
Wei Ling snorted.
"What do you mean I haven't married yet? Do I look old? ”
Gu Chao hurriedly waved his hand.
"No, I'm just saying that you live in Kyoto, then your family must also ask you to find a good little daughter-in-law, so if you like someone, then it will be all in vain?"
"yes."
Wei Lingmiao replied lightly.
Hearing this, Gu Chaoke came to his senses.
"Is that really the case? Then why did you refuse to answer when I asked you many times before? ”
"I just said yes, and I didn't say who I liked."
Gu Chao was like a deflated cloth bag again.
"Okay, I look at you, you just don't keep a little mysterious, I'm afraid it's uncomfortable, forget it, anyway, after I help you this time, we won't have anything to do with it, when the time comes, I don't care who you like to marry, and whose girl you marry, I don't care, right?"
When Wei Lingmiao heard this, the light in his eyes suddenly became fierce.
"What? Now that you are very dissatisfied with me, you have already started to imagine the future, and it is time to leave me? ”
Gu Chao sighed, shook his head and said.
"Why are you so fond of drilling? Isn't this what you nobles in Kyoto look like? No wonder my father didn't want me to go to Kyoto, because he was afraid that I would be choked to death by you. ”
Wei Lingmiao listened and asked curiously.
"You don't even know your own background, don't you wonder why your father didn't allow you to go to Kyoto?"
"What's so suspicious about this, Kyoto is full of noble children, what good can I do there? Maybe some kind of big official who cares about people's lives has taken a fancy to me, and wants to take me for the blame or something, which is common in my notebook. ”
Wei Lingmiao nodded silently, indeed, although it is not exaggerated to find a random person on the street who can be a scapegoat, but at least the maidservants who serve in the homes of those big officials often die unexpectedly because of the master's various schemes.
Especially my sister's family, who has melted the princess's mansions, in order to make all kinds of conspiracies and tricks to harm others, I don't know how many poor scapegoats have been found, and those little servants who are already conscientious and conscientious think that they have been dressed under a large enough force, but they still can't get rid of the tragedy of losing their lives.
"Okay."
"Okay, what do you mean? It's strange how you talk with a beginning and an end. ”
Maybe it's because Wei Linghao has chatted more often in the past few days, and every time he speaks, there is a long time, which makes Gu Chao mistakenly think that Ling Zhuo is a very talkative person.
But in fact, Wei Lingmiao's bones are still a person who doesn't want to express or express herself, but when she saw Gu Chao and saw her puzzled expression, she wanted to explain a few more words to her.
"You can think whatever you want, you're right, but it's not all right, and then it's good to see for yourself, and ask me what's the use."
Gu Chao pouted, and didn't continue to talk to him.
And after a while, the Song family was about to arrive, and it could be seen that the two of them were talking for a long time in the carriage.
Gu Chao didn't want to continue talking to Ling Zhuo, and felt that it was really embarrassing for the two of them to sit in the carriage, but now that they had arrived immediately, this was really the best way to solve the embarrassment.
Gu Chao got out of the carriage, greeted Brother Jin, and was led straight to Song Jinyao's boudoir.
Song Jinyao didn't know that she came so early, she heard a knock on the door, and she was still half-leaning on the side of the bed to embroider, and when she heard someone coming in, she thought it was Brother Jin who came to clean the room again, so she was indifferent.
After Song Jinyao saw clearly that the person who came in was Gu Chao, she immediately threw the embroidered bandage aside and jumped in surprise.
"Oh, you're here, I thought you'd be coming until almost night, and I'm still thinking about you? You came ahead of time, and I didn't prepare anything, so I was a little sluggish. ”
Gu Chao rushed up to hold her hand and said with a smile.
"Congratulations, the only imperial merchant in Qingcheng County, but the flowers have fallen to your family, and your father will no longer have to worry about who will threaten you in the future, I think the Li family is still arrogant?"
Song Jinyao smiled embarrassedly.
"It's not up to you to help a lot, otherwise my father is still anxious and doesn't know what to do, you are really a noble person in my family, since I met you, many difficulties have been solved."
Gu Chao smiled, then took her hand and sat down, and after calling Brother Jin back, he wanted to talk about Erma Ayi, but he was afraid that he would be disappointed as soon as he came in, so Gu Chao decided to change the topic first.
"You know what? Although your family's affairs are now settled, I still promised to help them do something, so I still have to stay here for a while, and my senior brother has not come back to see off my relatives, so I have more time to come to you. ”
Song Jinyao smiled and patted her hands.
"Okay, okay, then you often come to my house for dinner, I will treat you well, anyway, I'm bored sitting alone in the room, how good it is for you to talk to me, look at that Jin brother, I know how to do things all day long, and when I talk to her, she is also respectful, it's really boring."
"After all, it's your father, who was selected to accompany you on purpose, and I'm not afraid that she will say the wrong thing and cause you to want to go out to play."
Song Jinyao raised her head and sighed proudly.
"Is this what he wants to stop? He sent a Jin brother, although it did trap me for a while, but I didn't want to go out, so I could go out secretly. ”
Gu Chao lowered his head and asked quietly.
"You're not afraid to meet your dad on the street, and someone on the street sees who you are and runs to tell your dad secretly, so what should you do?"
"You are stupid, of course I chose my father to go to other counties to buy goods, and you also know that there are a few people in this Qingcheng County who have seen my face, and no one knows me, which lady are they all from, and they came out to play with the curtain."
Listening to Song Jinyao talk about going out to play, the words came to his lips a few times, and Gu Chao barely swallowed it.
This time, Song Jinyao decided not to act rashly, anyway, she will stay here for a long time, so let's not talk about it yet.
I'm still very happy to see Song Jinyao today, if I say it, it will make it very embarrassing to use it at today's dinner, wouldn't it be too disappointing?
Gu Chao looked around at Song Jinyao's room, looking at the golden furnishings in her room, as well as the table next to the screen, the stacked silk satin, which almost dazzled her eyes.
"Alas, I said you, noble lady, those big wooden boxes must be all jewelry from your father to you, right? I look at those trees on the mountain every day, and I don't know the goods, so today you let me see those new things! ”
Song Jinyao stood up and immediately went to fiddle with those wooden boxes.
"Don't say it's for you to see, I'll give you a box, this thing is piled up everywhere, I'm not rare, you said that my father didn't allow me to go out, and gave me hairpin ring jewelry, I dressed up and showed the old locust tree in the yard?"
