Chapter 52: Jealousy (1st Update)
There is already the best, who can still live in the eyes and heart of the poor?
If he hadn't met Gu Qingyan, An Huajin would have met Gu Jiugongzi first, maybe he would have chosen him.
Although he is a child of the Gu family, he is not the most important one, and the old man Gu may really allow him to leave the clan and let go of his family. He himself likes to join the army, he went to Nanyang, like a fish into the sea, the most suitable.
But now, An Huajin also thinks about it.
She looked at Gu Qingyan's face as heavy as water, and stepped forward with a smile, "Hey, you won't be jealous, will you?" ”
Gu Qingyan leaned against the wall of the car and closed her eyes, ignoring her.
An Huajin saw that a shadow fell from his eyelashes, and the night pearl in the carriage illuminated his face as white as the moonlight, and the pearl shone on the jade face, and the jade face was like clear snow, she thought to herself, is this really angry?
She pursed her lips and smiled, deliberately teasing him, "Huh? Gu Qingyan, you also have today! ”
Gu Qingyan didn't want to speak.
An Huajin killed his face with his fingers, and when he saw that he didn't open his eyes and didn't make a sound, he killed him harder, and said with certainty, "Oh, you're not jealous, you're angry." ”
Gu Qingyan's eyelashes moved.
An Huajin smiled secretly, "What are you angry about!" ”
Gu Qingyan finally couldn't stand it anymore, reached out to stop her fingers that continued to kill his face, and held it in his hand, his tone was restrained and calm, "Don't mess with me, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”
An Huajin blinked, and wanted to say, "What did I mess with you?" What consequences can I be afraid of? But when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back, if she said these words in front of others, she was sure that she really couldn't help her, but Gu Qingyan, she wasn't sure.
This man is not easy to mess with, and if anyone thinks he is easy to provoke, it is wrong, very wrong.
She pulled out her finger and silently stepped back, "Okay, don't mess with you." ”
Gu Qingyan smiled angrily, "You know how to accept it when you see it." ”
"That's nature." The art of war is not learned in vain.
All the way back to Gu's house, Gu Qingyan didn't pay attention to An Huajin and sent her to the house, after she got out of the car, he didn't even say a word, and told the coachman to drive the car away.
An Huajin stood at the door, watching the carriage he was riding in go away, and laughed.
Uncle Sun asked quietly, "Little County Lord, how do you feel about visiting the Gu family today?" You look happy, you can't go wrong, right? ”
"Nope." An Huajin shook his head, "These two cars of things are all gifts from the Gu family, remember a gift list and put them in the warehouse." ”
Uncle Sun was taken aback, "This ...... It's too much to greet. ”
"The whole Gu family has heads and faces, and everyone went to the Gu family's old mansion today, and everyone gave a meeting gift." An Huajin walked to the house holding the box that Old Man Gu gave her, "Although Gu Qingyan said that I should be sent by him, don't be burdened, but having said that, things can't be done like this, you remember a gift list, and return it on your birthday in the next year." ”
"The little county lord is right, the old slave will personally write down the gift list." Uncle Sun was very happy, "It can be seen that the Gu family is very satisfied with the little county lord, otherwise why would the whole clan go to see the little county lord." It's just wonderful. ”
Although she is also satisfied with her, the most important thing is Gu Qingyan's own words, which is worthy of the whole Gu family.
An Huajin didn't explain, and went back to Fenghongyuan with the box.
The Gu family has been moving a lot today, and it has been lively all day, and there are no secrets in Beijing, let alone secrets that are not concealed. Therefore, on this day, the Gu family, Gu Qingyan, and An Huajin added talk to the mansions in Beijing after dinner.
In the palace, after the emperor went down to court, he got the news that the Gu family invited An Huajin to come to the door as a guest and received him ceremoniously.
The emperor's heart seemed to be pressed a big stone in vain, and he couldn't breathe, he walked around the south study eight times in a sullen manner, barely suppressed his mood, and reviewed the recital for half a day, and at night, he really couldn't hold back, and asked Zhang Gonggong, "Xiao An'er has been in Beijing for almost a month, and he hasn't stepped into the Gu family as a guest, why did he suddenly go today?" ”
Gonggong Zhang whispered, "Today is the day of Gu Qigongzi's rest, if you don't go to Hanlin Academy to be on duty, maybe it's not sudden, it's already planned, otherwise how can the whole Gu family go so completely?" ”
The emperor felt that it was reasonable, and said upsetly, "If you don't go early or late, how can you catch up with today." If it had been two days later, it would have been easier for me to speak. ”
Father-in-law Zhang stopped talking.
The emperor couldn't sit still, glanced at the sky, and ordered, "Swing and go to Fengqi Palace." ”
Father-in-law Zhang should be.
As soon as the jade chariot was ready, someone outside announced, "Your Majesty, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Dali Siqing ask to see you." ”
The emperor frowned and instructed Gonggong Zhang, "It's dark, what are they doing at this time?" You go out and ask, there's nothing important, I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
He didn't want to see the courtiers now, he just wanted to ask the queen if he had leaked the news from her, so that An Huajin suddenly came to Gu's door as a guest.
Father-in-law Zhang responded, and after a while, he came back to say, "It's about the case, whether it is Zhang Zaifu or the same party, it has been disposed of." Now there are still those monks of the Jokhang Temple, and the conclusion has not been conclusive. The two adults wanted to come and ask Your Majesty what to do with the monks of the Jokhang Temple. Those monks are very squeamish, a deacon has died of illness, several elders have fallen ill, and the presiding officer has been sick, and if it drags on, it is estimated that there will be deaths. ”
When the emperor heard this, he remembered the military salary donated by the Jokhang Temple and the silver taels that filled the treasury, because of the robbery involving An Huajin, he suddenly had other ideas, and he was not in a hurry to find the queen, "I will go to the queen tomorrow, I won't go today, let them come in." ”
Father-in-law Zhang nodded and went out to invite the two of them in.
In Fengqi Palace, the queen naturally also got the news of the Gu family, Chu Yan was not idle during the day, and he was always in the future, and he was not free until the evening, so he came to accompany the queen for dinner.
After dinner, the empress lowered her voice about what the emperor had said to him in the morning, and she observed Chu Yan's expression as she spoke.
Chu Yan listened expressionlessly throughout the whole process, and did not show any other emotions at the end.
The queen knows that he has developed this temperament since he was a child, even if the emperor has no intention of giving him the throne, but because of his identity, he has to do a face-saving job. As a result, whenever he faces the emperor now, he can not be happy or angry, and others can't see his true thoughts.
This is a good thing, but it is too lacking in seven emotions and six desires, but it does have the prerequisites for an emperor.
"Yan'er, what do you think, talk to the queen mother." The queen was also very embarrassed, and she didn't know whether to decisively refuse His Majesty to cut off his mind or to urge her niece to marry his son.
"No idea." Chu Yan spoke, "Don't forget, the queen mother, the father and the Gu family, and cousin, none of these three parties can be interfered with by me and you." Let them decide for themselves. ”
The queen was stunned, "What do you mean, you can do anything?" ”
"Hmm." Chu Yan's expression was indifferent, and his tone was indifferent, "My father and emperor used to promote An Gu's marriage, and it took eight years for the two parties to maintain a relationship. Now that she wants to cancel the marriage contract overnight, the queen mother thinks that whether it is the An family, or the Gu family, whether it is Gu Qingyan or her cousin, is it so easy to let go of his mouth and let him nod with a word? Even if it's the Ninety-Five, you can't really easily say erase and erase, and say depiction, right? ”
The queen nodded and took a deep breath, "When Your Majesty mentioned it, the queen mother thought that it would not be easy, and now you say the same, it can be seen that I am not wrong." ”
"Today, my cousin went to the Gu family as a guest, and the whole Gu family went, and the door was like a market, and it was very lively, and the Gu family prepared a meeting gift for the cousin, and only the gift gave two large cars, which shows that the Gu family attaches great importance to the cousin." Chu Yan's tone was calm, unwavering, and stated the facts, "And my cousin is the most surprising, she behaves moderately, politely, gentle and generous, dignified and elegant, and she can't make any mistakes, Queen Mother, your mother has been in the world for twenty years, and your cousin's appearance today is not much worse than what you are now, and the daughters of the Gu family are the same in front of her, she is young, she can do this, how many ladies in Beijing are not as good, Mrs. Gu praised again and again, and the Gu family members nodded one after another, It is said that the rumors outside about Lord An Xiaojun are not credible, and they are really a good match with Gu Qigongzi, just like the natural Gu family. ”
The queen was surprised, "What you said is really Xiao An'er?" ”
"Yes." Chu Yan affirmed, "The queen mother probably doesn't know, these years, every year, my grandfather will send my cousin to Cui's house for a month, and Mrs. Cui will personally take her to teach, and I only know it today." ”
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have wanted to find her to raise her to train her in the boudoir etiquette, and he also wanted to tie her up and take her to his mansion to teach the rules for a few months. But she was shapeless in front of him, she didn't show anything, and finally used Gu Qingyan to block him.
He suspected that Gu Qingyan had known about it a long time ago.
The queen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "Earlier, I was worried that she was incompatible with the Gu family, but I didn't expect your grandfather to hide it from me." In that case, then this matter is as you said, wait and see the result on His Majesty's side. ”
