Chapter Seventy-Six: Comfort (1st Update)
When the sun rose, An Huajin, Gu Qingyan, and the rest of the An family, including Uncle Sun, bathed and changed into new clothes.
Gu Qingyan came to Fenghongyuan in a brand-new agarwood brocade, An Huajin sat at the table and waited for him to have breakfast, and when he saw him coming slowly, he knew that he must look good in it, but he still couldn't restrain himself from showing a stunning look when he saw him.
This dress, she did not use the style of an ordinary robe to do, but made a long gown, so to wear, although the style is simple, but it is more suitable for the material of agarwood brocade, in the hot summer, as cool as a lake, very pleasing to the eye.
She held her chin and thought a little proudly, such a good-looking person is her fiancΓ©! After a few days, he made the azure material as well, and he wore it on his body, and it must look good.
Gu Qingyan entered the house, stood in front of An Huajin, and saw that her eyes did not blink, his eyes moved lightly, and he asked with a smile, "Is it good-looking?" β
"It's beautiful."
Gu Qingyan chuckled, "You can't buy such clothes." β
An Huajin came back to his senses, pretended not to care, and said, "Do you understand?" β
"yes, I understand." Gu Qingyan sat down, "For as long as the Gu family can remember, the first thing they have learned is what to wear. Be fine. β
An Huajin was speechless for a while, squinting at him, "What do you want to say?" β
Gu Qingyan smiled, "Obviously you made it for me yourself, what are you lying to me about?" β
An Huajin turned his head, "I'm happy to lie to you." β
Gu Qingyan: "......"
He chuckled lowly, his voice soft, "Okay, you're happy, I'm happy too." β
An Huajin: "? β
The two had breakfast, and Gu Qingyan took An Huajin out of Fenghong Garden.
Uncle Sun said with a smile, "Little county lord, seventh prince, you two have fun, but be careful, although you have come to Beijing in recent days, there will be people who don't like the little county lord." Don't be careless. β
"Uncle Sun rest assured." Gu Qingyan bowed.
If Uncle Sun doesn't mention it, An Huajin has recently forgotten the dangers around her, although Zhang Zaifu has fallen, he has been in business for many years, and he may not be wiped out. Especially Zhang Zaifu is still in prison now, His Majesty didn't kill him, and he is still torturing him, and his sons and daughters have escaped from Dachu and entered Nanqi and Nanliang, which will be a scourge sooner or later.
This revenge, the first one to take revenge must be to find An Huajin, and the second is to find His Majesty.
An Huajin has been assassinated a lot in the open and in the dark since he was a child, and no matter how much he comes, it doesn't matter, he said to Uncle Sun, "Today, everyone in the house is on holiday, so let's go out to play." β
Uncle Sun nodded.
An Ping came over from a distance and said to An Huajin, "Little county lord, I will follow you secretly." β
An Huajin waved his hand at him, "While playing, I don't need you to follow." β
An Ping said persistently, "Today's Duanyang Festival, there are many people outside, and it is most likely to cause accidents, there is Qingmo by the side of the seventh prince, and I will secretly protect it with Qingmo, and it will not hinder your eyes." β
An Huajin looked at him, "The people who escaped from the Zhang family will also remember you with a grudge, which of us is dangerous and who protects whom, it is not necessarily." β
An Ping choked.
Gu Qingyan smiled lightly on the side, "Follow it." β
An Ping still looked at An Huajin.
"Okay, let's follow." An Huajin spoke.
An Ping nodded immediately.
Out of the An family's old house, Gu Qingyan and An Huajin got into the carriage.
Gu Qingyan told An Huajin that he arranged for the day, "Let's go outside the city to watch the dragon boat race first, and eat in the clouds at noon, I asked people to book a place in advance, and go to the Quxiang River cruise in the afternoon, the night view of the Quxiang River is very beautiful." β
An Huajin nodded, secretly thinking about how this arrangement was so like a date?
She looked at Gu Qingyan with a smile, "How do you spend the Duanyang Festival every year?" β
Gu Qingyan's eyes moved, "Just like ordinary days, stay at home and read." β
"Is it so boring?"
"Well, it's a little boring." Gu Qingyan has something fresh to play with today, that is, the colorful bracelet that An Huajin braided for him, he wrapped it around his hand, and he was playing with it when he was eating, and now he was in the car, still playing, an ordinary bracelet, he looked very fond of it.
Today, this bracelet is his new favorite, and although the auspicious knot is also worn, it has been neglected.
He said while playing with the bracelet, "Every year in the future, it will not be boring." β
An Huajin understood what he meant, and seemed to laugh instead of laughing, "That's not necessarily." β
Gu Qingyan paused.
An Huajin didn't want to spoil his good mood, "My grandfather's birthday is in March, and I just celebrated his fifty-ninth birthday shortly before I entered Beijing. If there is nothing to do next year, I will not be in the capital at this time. β
"Next year's Grandpa An's birthday, I want to go to Nanyang to congratulate him on his birthday." Gu Qingyan raised his eyes, "Duanyang Festival, maybe it's over in Nanyang." β
An Huajin looked at him, "You have an official position, and once you take over the burden of the official book, will you leave?" Will Your Majesty let you leave Beijing? β
"Always try."
An Huajin smiled, "Okay, if you can try it, I will spend next year's Duanyang Festival with you." β
Gu Qingyan nodded.
The city is very lively, there is a lot of atmosphere of the Duanyang Festival, whether it is a busy person or an idler, today have come out for a walk, and the shops along the street have new fresh things for the festival. Rouge gouache shops, knitted silk shops, pearl jade shops, odd crafts shops, etc., all have eye-catching things.
On the long street, the flow of people is endless.
There were many carriages of luxury and luxury or servants in crowds, and they went out of the city.
When traveling in the Gaomen Mansion of the family, most people pay attention to pomp and circumstance, and the license plates of each car highlight the identity of the people in the car.
The carriage of the Gu family is the most low-key, very ordinary, only a carriage, no front and back hugs, only a "Gu" brand, but when pedestrians see it, it is not as bad as giving way to those cars and horses who pay attention to pomp and circumstance.
Many people know that this is Gu Qigongzi's carriage, he doesn't want to be special, but the people remember his carriage the best.
Out of the city, ten miles outside the city, there is a Liancheng Lake connected with the moat, and the dragon boat race is in this place.
Because dragon boat racing has been around for a long time, many houses and pavilions have been built in this Liancheng Lake for people to rest and watch dragon boat racing.
The big families in Beijing, the Gaomen Mansion, and the royal family all have their own places to watch.
The position occupied by the Gu family is similar to that occupied by the royal family, and it has the best sight.
The An family also has a location, although the An family has not been in the capital for a long time, but the location has been kept since the great grandfather divided it. Although it has been idle, it also makes people forget the existence of Anjia. is similar to the Gu family, next to the royal family, and the Gu family is one left and one right.
In previous years, there was a mansion with a not very good location to find a place to borrow from the old house of the An family, Uncle Sun was easy to speak, according to the first come, first served, will lend out, anyway, the old house of the An family is a few slaves, there is no master, and there is no need to squeeze to your land to watch the dragon boat race with the nobles.
An Huajin was in Beijing this year, but she knew that she was going to stay in the capital for the Duanyang Festival, so no one came to borrow it.
Therefore, compared with the overcrowded and crowded territory of other families, on the side of the An family, An Huajin and Gu Qingyan.
After entering the pavilion, An Huajin and Gu Qingyan occupied a chaise longue and waited for the dragon boat race to start.
Not long after they sat down, Chu Chen dressed up vigorously, entered the territory of the An family, glanced at the two of them, was a little jealous, and said to An Huajin, "You are too comfortable here." β
An Huajin raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "What are you...... Fortress dragon boat? β
"yes." Chu Chen nodded, "I just wanted to come over and ask you, there is a person on our boat who suddenly had diarrhea just now, do you want to follow me to the boat for a ride?" Winning the first place in the dragon boat race, Your Majesty has a reward. β
An Huajin's softness in taking His Majesty's reward for a while is no longer as good as when she first received the reward, but she was a little interested in dragon boat racing, and asked him, "You participated in dragon boat racing?" β
"Nature." Chu Chen's eyes were full of starlight, "I participate in the competition every year, except for last year, when I had heat stroke and had no strength and couldn't play, the dragon boat of Prince Shan's Mansion won the second place, and it was the first in previous years." β
An Huajin turned his head to look at Gu Qingyan, "Is it to participate in the competition according to the mansion?" Is there anyone from the Gu family who participates? β
"Yes, my sixth, eighth, and ninth brothers are now on the Gu family's boat." Gu Qingyan nodded.
"Race every year?"
"No, this year, my ninth brother is very interested, I got a dragon boat, and pulled my sixth brother and eighth brother together."
An Huajin looked at him, "Why didn't he pull you?" β
"He didn't dare."
An Huajin smiled, thinking of Gu Jiugongzi, a very interesting young man, he turned his head and rejected Chu Chen, "You can find someone else!" I'm not going. β
Chu Chen looked at her, "You're obviously interested, why don't you go play?" It's fun. β
"I want to help, I have to help the Gu family, if I help Prince Shan's Mansion today and win the Gu family, where will the Gu family's face go?" An Huajin waved his hand, "Hurry up and find someone else!" β
Chu Chen choked, and there was some hatred in his heart, sure enough, he was separated from outsiders, bastard.
