Chapter Forty-Seven: Grand (Second Watch)
After breakfast, An Huajin took a mirror and looked at himself, well, I haven't slept all night, and I'm still very energetic, not bad.
She pondered and asked Gu Qingyan, "That day, in the Drunken Flower Pavilion of Qianqing Peach Garden, how did you feel when you saw me?" β
"Good."
"How good?"
Gu Qingyan's eyes moved, "In my eyes, you were more beautiful than all the peach blossoms in the Qianqing Peach Garden. β
An Huajin laughed.
Gu Qingyan looked at her, and the smile also stained the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, "What I said is true." β
"Well, I know you're telling the truth." That painting is proof that he didn't paint a few peach petals, but he painted her eyelashes very finely, which shows that he observed the details of the day, otherwise Chu Xiyun would not have been so heartbroken when she saw the "Beauty Picture".
She stood up reassuringly, "You sit, I need an hour to clean myself up." β
If you go to your fiancΓ©'s house as a guest, you want to clean up your beauty, just refer to the day of the blind date, and you can't lose face to yourself.
Gu Qingyan nodded, indicating that he was willing to wait.
So, Anhua brocade bathed, changed clothes, made up, beaded hairpins, gouache, rouge, and even his nails were repaired and dyed.
The An family's old mansion naturally does not have as many people waiting around the eldest princess, after Uncle Sun moved in with An Huajin, he once said that he would buy a few people to wait for the little county lord, but he was pushed by An Huajin, she didn't need people, she tossed by herself.
The eldest princess gave it, His Majesty gave it, the queen rewarded it, and during her recuperation, although she was closed, all the mansions in Beijing symbolically sent a lot of good things. Nowadays, there are really a lot of good things in my daughter's family, and there is no shortage of them.
While waiting, Gu Qingyan took out the book "Soldiers" and read it, from childhood to adulthood, he didn't like what he learned to watch and do, but because of his early talent, even if he didn't like it very much, he could learn it well and do it well. A thin military book, An Huajin is obsessed, and he also wants to experience one or two of this obsession.
An Huajin packed up and came out, opened the bead curtain, Gu Qingyan heard a sound of beads, he raised his head, the little girl was already beautiful, but now she is dressed up, and she is even more beautiful. A water-red brocade Luo skirt, embellished with jade and emerald rings, is inappropriate.
Such a flamboyant and gorgeous color is completely different from the plain light she has in front of him these days, but it is the same person. A person who can be glamorous to the extreme if he is glamorous, and a person who can be fabulous to the extreme if he is light.
Gu Qingyan felt that his breathing was chaotic, and the "Soldiering" in his hand seemed to have lost its weight.
"How?" Although An Huajin asked Gu Qingyan, his eyes fell on the book in his hand.
Gu Qingyan coughed lightly, immediately tucked the book into his sleeve, and stood up, "The beauty covers the present and the past, and the lotus flower is ashamed." β
Anhua Jin pursed his lips and smiled, very proud, "Praise again." β
She loves to hear people praise her.
Gu Qingyan chuckled, "There is no beauty in the autumn, and it is a beautiful woman to the eye." β
An Huajin blinked, "Anything else?" β
"The vermilion powder is not deep and even, the idle flowers are faintly fragrant, and the good ...... everywhere"
An Huajin: "Stop! β
I can't stand it anymore.
She glared at Gu Qingyan, "If I ask you to praise, will you praise it?" Don't blush? β
Gu Qingyan was really slightly hot behind his ears, he looked away, and said with a smile, "Let's go." β
An Huajin nodded, grabbed a folding fan in a decent manner, and followed Gu Qingyan out of the door in a very beautiful manner.
Walking out of Fenghong Garden, Gu Qingyan suddenly asked, "Your sword, can you take it with you?" β
"Brought it." An Huajin looked at him suspiciously, "What? Is it still dangerous to go to your house? β
Gu Qingyan smiled, "No." β
He just thinks that when the little girl is dressed up in a simple and neat dress, she rides a horse with a sword, and is wanton, which makes people feel that she should be that kind of person, but now she is wearing such a cumbersome daughter's outfit, which is not contrary to the harmony at all, and he can't see that she is not at ease, like a decent, if she is not a person who does not know, who knows that she is not a lady in Beijing? What is it like, even he will be confused by her.
"Isn't it strange that I, a person who has lived in the army all the year round, can wear these clothes and these pearls?" An Huajin turned his head and asked.
"Well, sort of."
An Huajin smiled, "This is going to ask my grandfather, send me to the Cui family for a month every year, and let the old lady of the Cui family teach me hand in hand, in the name of beauty, one day marry into your Gu family, and I will not lose his face." β
Gu Qingyan didn't know about this stubble, Gu, Wang, Xuan, Xie, the four major families all have hundreds of years of family heritage, and the old lady of the Cui family and the late old lady of the An family are handkerchiefs. No wonder she can be so presentable, he didn't know what to say, only said, "The old prince has good intentions." β
An Huajin smiled "ha" and said meaningfully, "It is indeed well-intentioned." "But now he regrets his death." Do you want to know, why does he regret it? β
"I don't want to." Gu Qingyan's intuition is not a good thing.
"I'm telling you." An Huajin didn't let him go, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy, "Cui is the eldest grandson of the Cui family, Cui Zhuo, the word Fengqi, he likes me." β
Gu Qingyan: "......"
He put away his smile, "So? β
An Huajin looked at him innocently, "My grandfather thinks I have a marriage contract, but he likes me, and I can't marry him, so it's just a matter of pit others, but he is the eldest grandson of the Cui family, and he is really troublesome." β
Gu Qingyan pursed her lips, "He hasn't married a wife yet?" β
"yes." An Huajin smiled and said deliberately, "Isn't this waiting for me to withdraw from the marriage?" β
Gu Qingyan suddenly grinded his teeth, "Don't even think about it." β
An Huajin laughed.
"Laughing again, the hairpin is gone." Gu Qingyan suddenly gritted her teeth and provoked Chu Chen, she knew that there was a childhood sweetheart, and now there was Cui Zhuo, did she want to anger him?
"What kind of eyes are you?" An Huajin laughed enough, and snorted lightly, "Isn't it something I was willing to provoke on purpose?" There is a sentence on the lips of people in Beijing, saying that a family has a woman who asks for a hundred families, and a family has a good son and a thousand families to rob. People who like you can line up thousands of miles away from Ronghua Street, and now look at me with red apricot eyes, are you embarrassed? β
Gu Qingyan: "......"
He's so embarrassed!
When he came to Gu's house, Gu Qingyan got out of the car first, stretched out his hand to help An Huajin, An Huajin put his hand in his hand decently, and slowly got out of the carriage with his hand.
Gu Qingyan felt that the palms of his hands were warm and silky, and some of his heart suddenly disappeared.
There were a lot of vehicles parked in front of Gu's house, and there was a long street in line.
Anhua Jin glanced twice, "What are these cars made of?" β
"People from the clan, or relatives who are very close to the Gu family, are all coming to see you."
An Huajin: "......"
She has never been afraid of heaven and earth, but at this time, looking at the vermilion gate of the Gu family, she couldn't move a little, "I'm going back now, can't I have time yet?" β
Gu Qingyan grabbed her wrist and smiled warmly, "It's too late." β
An Huajin: "......"
"Isn't it too grand for your family to be like this?"
"Well, of course yes." Gu Qingyan sighed lightly, "Originally, it didn't have to be like this, just the family just sat casually, but helplessly, Your Majesty had the intention of canceling the marriage contract, if you don't let Your Majesty know that the Gu family values you very much, I'm afraid he will be too easy to speak." β
An Huajin looked at him, but ...... was coaxed by him like this, although he will not cancel the marriage contract immediately, as he wants, and as she wants, but in the long run, isn't it good? It's easy to get to the door, but if you want to break it again, it's hard, right?
She suddenly wondered, "Do you have other intentions besides dealing with Your Majesty?" β
"Nope." Gu Qingyan's expression couldn't be more serious.
Okay, since she's already here, she's not a coward, and she can't really go back.
An Huajin shook off Gu Qingyan's hand and muttered in a low voice, "Don't pull and pull, I just don't leave." β
Gu Qingyan was relieved, let go of her hand, and took her into the Gu family's old house.
"Hello Seventh Son! Hello to the little county lord! β
As soon as they greeted each other, everyone was well-behaved and neat, and it seemed that the servants were wearing new clothes and their hair was meticulously combed. Even if he peeked at An Huajin, he was also happy.
An Huajin has no stage fright in the million-dollar army, such a scene, when she really has to face it, she will naturally not have stage fright, she gently shakes the fan, the skirt walks slowly with her, the graceful arc, the sleeves swing, the fragrance is automatic.
Gu Qingyan thought silently, she should also thank Your Majesty, otherwise, she would not have stepped into the Gu family with her.
When the two came to the second gate, they saw a group of people standing in the dark at the second gate, all dressed in bright and luxurious clothes, and the beads and hairpins were shining with jewelry. There are men and women, all of whom look young, like Gu Qingyan's peers.
An Huajin thought to herself, fortunately she didn't see the elders come out to pick her up.
Gu Qingyan lowered her voice and said, "It's all my brother, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, brother and sister. β
An Huajin nodded, "I can see it." β
The Gu family deserves to be one of the best families.
