Chapter Forty-Six: Coaxing (1st Shift)
When Gu Qingyan came to the An family's old house, it was an hour earlier than usual.
The doorman opened the door with a yawn, rubbing his eyes, "Seventh son? How did you get here so early today? β
He stepped on the hour every day.
Gu Qingyan said softly, "I got up an hour early today. β
The doorman nodded and hurriedly invited him in.
Gu Qingyan entered the inner courtyard and met Uncle Sun who was yawning and walking towards Fenghongyuan, Uncle Sun was also a little surprised when he saw Gu Qingyan, "Seventh Prince, why did you come so early today?" β
Gu Qingyan smiled, "Today I want to take the little county lord to my house as a guest, so I came early." β
"The little county lord has been in Beijing for more than 20 days, and he hasn't gone to the Gu family to visit the old man, so it's time to go." Uncle Sun immediately smiled, "But the little county lord picked up the lamp to read at night, didn't sleep all night, didn't eat much for dinner yesterday, didn't eat two bites of supper, and now he is still holding a book, if he goes to be a guest today, I'm afraid he will be unenergetic." β
This Gu Qingyan also thought about it, and said with a smile, "It's okay, the little county lord once told me that if she wants to do one thing, she won't sleep for a few days and nights, and she will be very energetic." It's only been one night now, and I guess I'm still in good spirits. β
"That's right." Uncle Sun was relieved, "The old slave will go to the kitchen and let them hurry up to make breakfast, and you can take the little county lord back early." β
Gu Qingyan nodded and entered Fenghong Garden.
An Huajin got a good book, he couldn't put it down, he didn't sleep all night after reading at night, he was still in good spirits, and he was not sleepy at all. She sat at the table and chair in the inner room, still dressed as she was yesterday, holding a book and reading, while gesturing her fingers on the table. I heard someone push open the door and walk in, without raising his head, very immersed in the book.
Gu Qingyan saw her obsession with military books yesterday, and when she saw it today, she couldn't help but smile and shake her head.
Although he came to An's old house every day and went in and out of An Huajin's courtyard, he stayed outside the painting hall and never stepped into her inner room. Today's situation is special, if he doesn't come in and drag her away, don't wait for her to come out by herself today. Don't even think about inviting her to your home. Looking at this appearance, she has a military book and can go without eating or drinking for three days.
The first time he stepped into the boudoir of his daughter's house, the white jade bed, the rhombic mirror, the eight-treasure incense table, and the golden phoenix carved vase, were full of daughter's breath, and the slightest wisp of rouge incense.
Although Gu Qingyan was ready, he still paused at the door with the curtain for a long time before he stepped in slowly, came to the table as much as possible without squinting, and reached out to hold down the military book in front of An Huajin.
An Huajin was pondering, the book in front of her was covered by a slender hand like jade, she looked up along this beautiful hand, and saw Gu Qingyan standing in front of her.
In the morning light, the blue and white light outside the window reflects the candlelight in the room, this person has a long body and a picturesque face.
She was stunned for a moment, and then asked slowly, "What are you doing?" β
Gu Qingyan saw that she was really as he guessed, her eyes were clear, and she couldn't read the slightest bit of confusion at night, she reached out and pulled out the military book under her hand, stuffed it into her sleeve, and said to her gently, "You promise me one thing, otherwise I will return this book to my second uncle." β
An Huajin woke up and looked at him suspiciously.
Gu Qingyan winked at her, "You heard it right. β
An Huajin glared at him, "What did I promise you?" β
Gu Qingyan smiled, "Go to my house today as a guest and meet my grandfather, grandmother, my parents, brothers and sisters. Maybe there are also relatives from the side branches of the Gu family. β
An Huajin's eyes widened suddenly, and at this moment, the spirit was completely withdrawn from the military book and returned to its original position, "I won't go." β
Gu Qingyan smiled gently, "If you don't go, you can't do it." β
"I won't go."
Gu Qingyan looked at her with a smile, "If you don't go, I'll return this military book." β
An Huajin glared at him again, "It's already given to me." β
"The second uncle gave it to you because you are my fiancΓ©e, and it has been more than 20 days since you came to the capital, so it's time to go to the house to sit." Gu Qingyan coaxed her gently, "Be good, just go for a trip." Just go, I promise, and tonight, the book will be back in your hands. β
Without the book, he didn't know what to threaten her to be a guest at home. With her temperament, if she doesn't catch something she is very addicted to, I'm afraid she won't be able to threaten her, even if she coaxes, I'm afraid it's not so easy to coax when she resists.
An Huajin narrowed her eyes, and locked on his gentle and light smile smartly, as if she wanted to see him through to the bone, and suddenly, she leaned back and leaned back in the chair, "Say, why did you suddenly let me go to your house as a guest today." β
There is also such an emphasis on conduct.
Gu Qingyan looked at her, "If I say, my family wants to see you." β
"You also said that I have been in Beijing for more than 20 days, and this day is not missing."
Gu Qingyan sighed lightly, as if she was a little melancholy, "My fiancΓ©e is too smart, and it's embarrassing to be fooled." So, he decided to tell the truth, "Your Majesty wants to cancel your marriage contract with me, and before Your Majesty speaks, you must go to your house, so that Your Majesty will not be able to open this mouth in a short time." β
An Huajin was stunned, and slowly sat up straight again, puzzled, "Why?" β
His Majesty has always tried his best to promote this marriage, and he did not hesitate to issue an order to let Gu Qingyan, a court official who was highly valued by the emperor, accompany her to cultivate feelings all day long with nothing to do. What happened? He even asked him to cancel their engagement?
"Prince Good entered the palace to fight for you for Chu Chen, Your Majesty suddenly felt that it was not impossible to change someone, in addition to me, Chu Chen, and the Seventh Prince Chu Yan, now in Your Majesty's opinion, Chu Yan is the most suitable." Although Gu Qingyan's voice was calm, his eyes stared at An Huajin without blinking, not missing the slightest expression of her.
An Huajin was completely stunned.
Chu Yan? Her seventh cousin? Your Majesty now thinks he is the most suitable person to marry her? More suitable than Gu Qingyan? Is he planning to pass on the throne to his seventh cousin?
In an instant, many thoughts popped into her mind, and one by one she exclamated in affirmation.
Yes, Zhang Zaifu fell, Concubine Shu and the second prince died, and the third prince was also implicated, and now Chu Yan naturally has a sacred heart. Instead of letting An Gu marry, it is really better to marry her to the royal family.
Chu Junding, Nanyang Army is stable, and Da Chu'an.
An Huajin: "!! β
She didn't speak for a while, and she didn't know what to say for a while, and at this moment, her mind was clear and chaotic.
Gu Qingyan didn't see anything from her face, even a pair of eyes that were straight to her heart, they looked very calm. His heart gradually tightened, and his fingers clenched the corners of his sleeves.
The room was quiet, and the unextinguished lights made a "crackling" sound, and the lights clearly burst out, one after another.
"What are you thinking?" Gu Qingyan finally couldn't help but speak, and her voice was a little hoarse.
An Huajin raised her eyes to look at him, only to see his thin lips pursed slightly, a pair of clear spring-like eyes with layers of mist, she looked at it for a while, and suddenly smiled, "So, I have to go to your house as a guest today?" β
Gu Qingyan acquiesced.
An Huajin smiled again, and his tone was inexplicably a little pleasant, "Gu Qingyan, you really don't want to cancel the marriage contract with me?" Why? You really like me, don't you? β
Gu Qingyan pursed the corners of her mouth again, but still didn't speak.
An Huajin was suddenly overjoyed, "Are you a little scared?" Are you afraid that I will agree to Your Majesty's decision for the sake of the Nanyang Army? So, the Nanyang Army has no worries for a hundred years. β
"You and I won't cancel the marriage contract, if you marry me, the Nanyang Army will be worry-free for a hundred years." Gu Qingyan's voice was soft, "I promise." β
An Huajin stood up with a smile, grabbed Gu Qingyan's arm, sat all night, her body was a little stiff, she stood up with Gu Qingyan's arm support, her legs were a little numb, she stomped her foot hard, kicked away the chair, half of her body was close to him, and reached out to pinch his face.
Gu Qingyan stood still and let her pinch it.
An Huajin pinched his cheek and pulled it hard, smiling softly in his voice, "You haven't slept all night?" Just because of this? Gu Qigongzi, this shouldn't be your style. β
Gu Qingyan continued to be silent.
An Huajin pulled it twice, let go of her hand, and saw that she pinched out a red handprint on his fair face, like a plum blossom falling on a white jade plate, she couldn't tell in her heart whether it was the pleasure of finally letting him fall into the love network she had compiled, or whether it was more relieving than she also put a sword on his neck to feed him a hundred kills.
"Why don't you speak?" An Huajin quickly dug his hand into his sleeve, intending to snatch back the military book by surprise.
Gu Qingyan reached out and pressed her hand, "Follow me to the house, and I'll give it to you at night." β
An Huajin snorted lightly, "I don't like others threatening me the most." β
"I'm no one else." Gu Qingyan looked at her and said seriously, "Even if we cancel the marriage contract one day, it should have nothing to do with Your Majesty's decision, and it has nothing to do with anyone, but the two of us can't simply go together." It shouldn't be because of other external forces. You don't like that either, do you? β
An Huajin was silent, this is true, although His Majesty is the Supreme of the Ninety-Five, and although the An family is loyal to Da Chu, she cannot sell her marriage contract again and again. When she sold it to the Gu family, she was still young, and she didn't know that her grandfather was hiding it from her, so it was just that. But if she sells it to her seventh cousin, she will at least not want to do what Her Majesty wants after knowing about it at this moment.
Gu Qingyan breathed a deep sigh of relief in his heart, and his tone became relaxed, and coaxed, "You freshen up, we have breakfast, just come with me, okay?" The Gu family is not a rule everywhere, and it is useless in your eyes. β
"Okay." An Huajin couldn't help laughing, is this person so good at coaxing people?
