Chapter 68: Not as Good as You (1st Update)
Qin Tianjian invited the rain god successfully, and the emperor Longyan was happy, and rewarded Qin Tianjian and the six people who accompanied the rain.
The reward was sent to the An family's old house, An Huajin felt that it was worth it to stand on the rain god platform for an hour, and felt that it was not so bad to stay in the capital, and he would be rewarded by His Majesty every once in a while.
She has been in Beijing for more than a month, and the rewards given by His Majesty, the condolences sent by various governments, and the greeting gifts given by the whole Gu family have filled the treasury in her courtyard.
Sun Bole said hehehe, "Since the little county lord came to Beijing, our mansion has seen the father-in-law who came to deliver the decree and reward every three or five days, which is more diligent than the number of times the old slave has seen him for decades. β
An Huajin smiled, "Tomorrow, Jiang Yunyi will escort the military salary to Nanyang, right?" Load all the good medicines in the warehouse and let Jiang Yunyi send them to Nanyang. β
Uncle Sun nodded, "The old slave will go and clean up." β
The old prince is not in good health, and what he needs most is medicinal herbs.
Uncle Sun quickly took people to pack up the three major carts, which were filled with the concubines of Concubine Cheng who pretended to be sick for a while, the rewards of His Majesty's empress, the concubines and concubines of the palace, and the condolence gifts of various palaces in Beijing, all of which were high-quality medicinal materials.
On the second day, early in the morning, An Huajin rode a horse and took three carts of medicinal herbs out of the city, and went to Shili Pavilion outside the city to wait for the convoy escorting military salaries to pass by.
Lu Heng, the squire of the military department, He Lan, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and Jiang Yunyi, the newly promoted commander, as well as a respected Imperial Doctor Sun sent by His Majesty to the same as Imperial Physician Chen, and 10,000 soldiers and horses, set off for Nanyang together.
When An Huajin arrived at the Shili Pavilion, Gu Qingyan was already waiting in the Shili Pavilion, and two big cars were parked outside the pavilion.
It rained yesterday, and it didn't stop this morning, and the rain was not heavy, but it couldn't bear to fall for half a day and a night yesterday, and the ground was soaked and fell into puddles.
An Huajin was wearing a poncho, and when she turned over and dismounted, the boots on her feet stepped on the ground, sticking to a layer of mud, and she didn't care, and walked into the Shili Pavilion with brisk steps.
"Why don't you wear more?" Gu Qingyan sat in the Shili Pavilion, the stone table and stone chairs were very clean, there were tea cups on the table, steaming hot, he was wearing a azure robe today, the same color as the sky, and it was very pleasing to the eye.
"You don't wear much." An Huajin took off the poncho and sat next to him, "It's not cold either." β
Gu Qingyan poured her a cup of hot tea, "Drink two sips to warm up." β
An Huajin picked up the teacup, "How long have you been waiting here?" β
"It didn't take long, just a moment before you."
An Huajin took two sips of the teacup, "What do you want to send to my grandfather?" β
"Herbs."
An Huajin sighed, "My grandfather is my grandfather, I am me, you please my grandfather, and it has nothing to do with me." β
Gu Qingyan chuckled, "Indeed, Grandpa Gu is Grandpa Gu, you are you." β
An Huajin pouted, her grandfather should like Gu Qingyan very much, when he had been hiding her marriage contract before, he said from time to time that the seventh son of the Gu family in Beijing was a young man and a talented man, and he was the only one in the world, saying that Old Man Gu had a good life and had such a good grandson.
The tone was envious and emotional, mixed with a little bit of pride, at that time, she didn't know what that bit of pride was, and then he told her that as early as eight years ago, he rushed to set a marriage contract for the Gu family for her, and she understood.
The feeling is that the grandson is good, he is greedy and wants to grab half of it.
An Huajin's thoughts gradually drifted away, thinking of the moment when she just learned about the marriage contract, and then thinking of that time when she hated it, it turned out that the person who almost killed her three years ago and made an enmity with her was her fiancΓ©.
Later, before she entered Beijing, she left cruel words to her grandfather, wanting her to fulfill the marriage contract, don't think about it!
Now......
The Ten Mile Pavilion is very quiet, and the sound of the rain falling, it is even quieter.
A sound of horses' hooves came from afar, pulling An Huajin's thoughts back from the sky, she turned her head, and saw Chu Chen coming first, wearing a poncho, but he couldn't stop his youthful spirit, quite heroic, she suddenly felt that Chu Chen was also very good-looking.
"He's not as good-looking as me!" Gu Qingyan's voice was not high, but it was clear to the ear.
An Huajin turned his head, glanced at him, and said with certainty, "Well, he is not as good-looking as you." β
However, Chu Chen was only a little worse than Gu Qingyan, and An Huajin naturally wouldn't tell him this.
Chu Chen came in a blink of an eye, turned over and dismounted, strode into the Shili Pavilion, glanced at the two of them, untied the poncho and sat down, and said to An Huajin, "My grandfather heard that Grandpa An is not in good health, and he is very concerned, so he asked the treasury to pick two truckloads of high-quality medicinal materials and send them to Nanyang with the escort military salary." My grandfather said it was a reconciliation heart. β
An Huajin was surprised, "Your grandfather still wants to reconcile with my grandfather in his lifetime?" β
It's not that she suspects, it's really that in the past three years, Prince Good has shouted and killed, and the commotion is too great, and now reconciliation is the same as the sun hitting the west. She thought she would never see it for the rest of her life.
"I really want to reconcile." Chu Chen said seriously, "The two of us have no grudges or grudges, we are both victimized, so don't continue to kill each other, right?" Wouldn't it make the bad guys happy? β
"Do you know who the bad guys are? That's it. Anhua Jin raised his eyebrows.
"I don't know yet, but it doesn't prevent him from being a bad guy who has contributed to the fight between the Good Prince Mansion and the Nanyang Royal Mansion for three years." Chu Chen looked at her, "Especially your grandfather's poor health, you don't want him to bother with trouble because of my grandfather, don't you?" While my grandfather has a heart of reconciliation, how about going down this step? β
"Hmm." An Huajin nodded, very happy, "I will collect these two carts of medicinal materials for my grandfather, and I will go to Prince Shan's Mansion to thank your grandfather another day." β
Chu Chen was immediately happy, "Okay, if Your Majesty hadn't summoned you that day, you would have already been a guest at Prince Shan's Mansion." You can go anytime or anywhere, let me know in advance, and I'll have someone prepare your favorite food and fun. β
An Huajin curled the corners of his mouth, "As long as you and your grandfather don't have other ideas, I will definitely go happily." β
Chu Chen: "......"
He and his grandfather really had other ideas!
But will you tell her? No, it won't! If he said anything more, none of his friends would do it.
His expression couldn't be more serious, "What do you want?" In this way, don't worry, when you have a marriage contract with Huai'an, I won't fight you. But you can't disown me as a friend. β
"Will the little prince use a roundabout policy to save the country?" Gu Qingyan smiled lightly.
Chu Chen didn't want to talk to him, for fear that he couldn't help but be angry by his words, so he didn't say anything.
"Okay!" An Huajin saw that Chu Chen was looking for herself to go down the stairs, so she gave him a face, after all, people really didn't offend her much, she did too much, and she couldn't get over her conscience, since he took a step back, then she would also give way.
Gu Qingyan's expression did not move, and he poured a cup of tea for Chu Chen with his own hands, "There is no such day." β
"Not necessarily." Chu Chen picked up the teacup and drank the hot tea unceremoniously.
Another sound of horses' hooves sounded, Chu Chen turned his head to look, and said, "Hehe", "It's Chu Yan." β
An Huajin also turned his head to look, only to see Chu Yan galloping with a team of men and horses, followed by three carts.
An Huajin felt that the things of the three carts were estimated to be high-grade medicines, no, for Chu Yan, in addition to medicinal materials, there should also be supplements.
Although Chu Yan is indifferent and indifferent, since he was more than ten years old, every New Year's Day, he would order someone to bring things to Nanyang Palace, medicinal herbs, supplements, for her grandfather, bead hairpin jewelry, gorgeous brocade cloth, rouge gouache, these daughters' household things are occasionally carried with her.
She didn't care much about it before, but now she thinks about this seventh cousin, who has actually been very good to her all these years.
The fine rain curtain wet Chu Yan's forehead hair that was not covered by the poncho, and a face that looked a little like the An family, washed by the rain, looked like the first lotus in the rain, and the mud was not stained.
Her seventh cousin is also very good-looking.
Gu Qingyan stretched out his hand and flicked An Huajin's forehead, neither lightly nor heavily.
An Huajin retracted his gaze and glanced at him with disgust, "It's not as good-looking as you." β
Gu Qingyan chuckled.
Should he be thankful that he has a face that no one can match?
Chu Yan turned over and dismounted, walked into the Shili Pavilion with his clothes in the wind, glanced at the three of them, and said to An Huajin, "There is a cart of medicinal herbs that the queen mother asked her to choose for her grandfather, and there are two carts of supplements that I chose." I still have something to do, so I won't wait for the team to escort the grain and grass to come, and you will take these three truckloads of things together. β
"Okay." An Huajin nodded.
Chu Yan seemed to be in a hurry, and after explaining this sentence, he didn't linger any longer, turned around and walked out of Shili Pavilion again.
"Why is he in such a hurry?" Chu Chen asked Gu Qingyan, "Do you know what he's busy with?" β
"Your Majesty plans to establish a prince, and he has been training him these days, and he has explained to him what the second prince and the third prince had done." Gu Qingyan said lightly, "Naturally, I'm very busy." β
Chu Chen said "oh" twice, thinking about the establishment of the reserve, His Majesty finally decided to establish Chu Yan as the reserve.
Half an hour later, Lu Heng, He Lan, and Jiang Yunyi escorted the convoy of Haohao Tangtang, took Imperial Doctor Sun, and came to the Shili Pavilion, where they saw the three of them sitting opposite each other in the pavilion, and ten carts were parked outside the pavilion, and the carts were full of medicinal materials.
The three of them looked at each other and were speechless.
With so many medicinal herbs, has the King of Nanyang finished eating?
