Chapter Seventy-Four: Better (1st Update)
In the Liguo Mansion, the eldest princess received a message from An Huajin, saying that she and Chu Siyan had returned to the mansion together, and she also thought that something had happened to these two people, and it was generally not good to smash the tea banquet of the Liguo Mansion, so they left together to deal with it elsewhere.
She couldn't ignore it, and immediately asked Mama Du to go to An's old house in person to ask what was going on.
After hearing this, the Duchess of Liguo also thought the same as the eldest princess, and immediately sent a close waiting grandmother, and Jiang Yuncai was even more worried, she knew that it was Chu Siyan who took the initiative to find An Huajin today, and the two of them would never return, she still had to entertain a group of young ladies, and she couldn't leave, so she could only send a maid who was waiting closely, and went to the old house of the An family with Mama Du.
An Huajin sent away Chu Chen's brothers and sisters, and went back to the room to make up for sleep.
Originally, she was not used to taking a nap, when others took a nap, she always had to find something to do, since that day from the palace to deal with His Majesty and the Queen, she tasted the good taste of taking a nap, and she had to take a nap for both days.
So, when the two mothers and a maidservant came, An Huajin had just fallen asleep.
Uncle Sun naturally couldn't let people disturb his little county lord to rest, he only said that the little county lord brought a girl back, but it was not the little county lord of the Good Prince's Mansion, but the small county lord of the Liguo Mansion, the little county lord and her friendship seemed to be good, and the hospitality people ate the dishes made by Anping, during which the little prince of the Good Prince's Mansion Chen came and ate together, and after eating, everyone left.
Mama Du and the three of them looked at each other, it was clear that the little county lord of the Liguo Mansion was entertaining people at home, where had they ever come to the old mansion of the An family?
Jiang Yuncai's maidservant stepped forward and told her little county lord about entertaining people at home, and asked Uncle Sun if he was mistaken? In fact, the person brought back by the little county lord An is the little county lord of the Good Prince's Mansion?
Uncle Sun was also confused at this time, "In short, the little county lord treats the girl politely, the person has left, there is no fight, and he has eaten peacefully, the three of you can rest assured." ”
What Mama Du and the three of them need to know is that they didn't fight, so they left the old house of the An family, thought about it, and after all, they didn't feel at ease, and went to Prince Shan's mansion together.
When I came to Prince Shan's Mansion, I asked the person guarding the door, the little county lord had come back, and he looked very good, and he came back with the little prince, and the three of them were relieved and returned to the Liguo Mansion together.
After hearing this, the eldest princess, the Duchess of Liguo, and Jiang Yuncai were also completely relieved, since they went back safely, there was no fight, and nothing happened, so it would be okay.
Jiang Yuncai was very curious about what Chu Siyan was looking for An Huajin, and thought that he must ask another day.
But there is a stir in Beijing, and there is no one who is not alarming, especially An Huajin, who has her own topicality, and her every move in Beijing has been noticed by people.
Therefore, as soon as Chu Siyan and Chu Chen stepped into the door of Prince Shan's mansion, they were called to the study by Prince Shan.
Chu Siyan is different from Chu Chen, she is still quite afraid of his grandfather, so, under the pressure of Prince Shan, she went to see An Huajin today, how did she cry, and now she relies on An Huajin to follow her home and change her clothes, and now she stays in the An family's old house for a meal, etc., all of which are explained.
Chu Chen listened to such a detailed experience, compared An Huajin in a few words, and finally found the problem.
He suddenly looked at his sister with a sense of realization, "So, it's because you cry ugly that Xiao An'er took you so well?" ”
Chu Siyan was angry, "No, she praised me for crying beautifully, saying that my eyes are like a spring, watery, like rain and sunny weather, without any impurities, they are the most beautiful eyes she has ever seen." ”
Chu Chen: "......"
Prince Shan: "......"
There was silence in the study for a moment.
Chu Siyan was still confident, "She really said so, she also brought me her handkerchief to wipe her tears." ”
Chu Chen sat on the chair and commented, "Unbelievable." ”
Prince Good was silent for a while, and commented, "That little girl is quite good at pitying fragrant jade?" ”
Chu Siyan: "......"
The news of An Huajin and Chu Siyan's reconciliation spread to everyone on the same day.
Although countless people don't know the inside story, it doesn't prevent everyone from spreading the news by word of mouth.
Chu Siyan has offended a lot of people over the years because of her domineering temperament, a month ago she offended An Huajin by throwing a handkerchief at Gu Qingyan on the long street and being cleaned up by An Huajin, many people laughed at her behind her back to watch the excitement, and she was also honest and obedient for a while.
But no one thought that the person who offended An Huajin would be able to reconcile with her again.
For example, Chu Chen, who was beaten three years ago, and Chu Siyan, who was taught a lesson a month ago. These two brothers and sisters are simply amazing!
Gu Qingyan was dealing with a lot of things in the household department, and he was very busy, so he heard about it.
So, after getting off the Ya, when he went to the An family's old house for dinner, at the dinner table, he looked at An Huajin carefully several times.
"See what I'm doing?" Anhua Jin slept for more than two hours at noon, and now he is very energetic.
"It's spread all over Beijing today, saying that you and Chu Siyan have reconciled?" Gu Qingyan smiled and asked, "Because of what?" ”
An Huajin smiled, "It seems that you are right, my every move is within the sight of others." It's just such a small thing, so that you have heard about it in the ministry. Are all the adults in the ministry idle and like gossip very much? ”
"You have been in Beijing for more than a month, but you have made Beijing change the sky again, for everyone, any thing is not a trivial matter."
An Huajin blinked, "Does everyone include you?" ”
"Including."
"Oh?" Anwar looked at him, "What's the matter?" ”
Gu Qingyan gave him a chopstick dish, and said softly, "Chu Chen wants to marry you, so he is waiting to find an opportunity for you and me to cancel the marriage contract, originally he had a grandfather, sister, and mother who did not agree to drag his feet, but now I am afraid that there are no these." Shouldn't I be worried? ”
"No, no." Gu Qigongzi was a little more confident. ”
"How did you reconcile with Chu Siyan today?" Gu Qingyan could actually send someone to check, but he didn't want to check this.
An Huajin did not hide it, compared to dealing with Chu Chen's words, and the details of her retelling to Gu Qingyan.
Gu Qingyan listened quietly.
After An Huajin finished speaking, he said with emotion, "My grandfather said that his daughter's family has tears and does not flow lightly, and he told me since he was a child, how tricky do you say this old man is? If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to cry. ”
Gu Qingyan's chopsticks suddenly paused, "Why are you crying?" Wouldn't it be nice not to cry? ”
He has never cried since he was a child. Old man Gu said to him that men don't flick when they have tears, and his grandfather also said.
The old Nanyang King raised his only granddaughter as a boy, but it was not the same, at least, she was sent to Cui's house for a month every year, and her daughter's family should know, she would, and she should learn, she also learned.
"That's what you haven't tasted like crying but can't." An Huajin was careless, "Eight years ago, when my father and brother died on the battlefield, I wanted to cry, my eyes were bloody, I couldn't cry, it hurt dryly, at that time, I listened to the cries of the servants of the Nanyang Palace, the cries of the people in the city, and I felt that it was good to be able to cry, and I would cry too." ”
Gu Qingyan's heart suddenly tore and hurt, he put down his chopsticks, and understood, "So, Chu Siyan is crying in front of you today, you ......"
"Well, I think she looks good crying." An Huajin took his words, "Later, she stopped crying, and I thought she was very cute." ”
Gu Qingyan was silent.
An Huajin reached out to help him pick up the chopsticks and handed them to him, "Eat, it'll be cold for a while." ”
Gu Qingyan nodded.
Three years ago, after he fed her a hundred kills, he went and returned, thinking that if she couldn't stand it, he would take her away, but then he didn't expect that she didn't say a word from beginning to end, and she didn't shed a drop of tears, and when she was dying, she gritted her teeth and sent a signal to the secret guard of the An family, until she was taken away by the secret guard of the An family, he never saw her cry out in pain or cry.
At that time, he thought, it was really a person from the An family, who knocked out his teeth and swallowed blood, had backbone and integrity, and was very strong.
Now, he finally understands that after the battle of Yuxueling eight years ago, she didn't cry, how could she tear her when she was killed?
After dinner, the two sat and drank tea.
"Tomorrow is the Duanyang Festival, and the imperial court will have a day off." Gu Qingyan said softly, "Early tomorrow morning, after breakfast, I'll take you out to play." ”
"Hmm."
Gu Qingyan sat for a while, and when he saw that it was getting late, he returned to Gu's house.
Old man Gu had nothing to do today, thinking that his grandson had returned to the Ministry of Officials from the Hanlin Academy, and he heard that Zhao Shang, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, was planning to retire after the Dragon Boat Festival, and wanted to push Gu Qingyan to take his place, so he talked to his grandson and asked him about his plans.
He saw that Gu Qingyan's expression seemed to be different from usual today, and something was wrong, so he asked, "What's wrong?" Is it a matter of trouble in the court? Or is it because of the little girl in the An family? ”
"There's nothing to worry about in the court."
"That's the little girl of the An family? What's wrong? Old Man Gu was curious.
Gu Qingyan sat down and sighed lightly, "Grandpa, I think I'm not good enough for her, I have to be better for her." ”
Old Man Gu: "......"
