CHAPTER XVII
Gu Qingyan looked at An Huajin, frowned slightly, as if he was extremely disapproving of her words, reached out and dragged An Huajin into the innermost part of the carriage, and the shoes were separated from the insoles and stepped on the luxurious mink cushion.
An Huajin was stunned, "What are you doing?" ”
Gu Qingyan let go of his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's just a carriage, where are you afraid of getting dirty?" ”
Anwar Jin glanced at his feet, a little speechless.
Gu Qingyan slowly sat down, looked at her, and smiled again, "Say, what do you want to settle accounts with me?" Is it the jade pendant that was left to you three years ago? Or something else? ”
An Huajin suddenly became angry, and sat up straight in annoyance, "What's going on with that box?" Why do you give it to me? Still waiting for me to go to Lanfang Pavilion again? ”
If she had opened it earlier yesterday when she was in Lanfang Pavilion, and knew that it was him, she would have settled accounts with him yesterday.
Gu Qingyan whispered, "After the incident, I thought that you would come to the capital again soon to settle accounts with me, so I deliberately left a token in Lanfang Pavilion, but I didn't expect you to enter Beijing for three years." ”
An Huajin: "......"
So she worked hard to order someone to check for two years, and her hard work was in vain? As long as she enters Beijing, she can know who he is?
She was so angry that she didn't want to talk anymore.
Gu Qingyan looked at her angry face, "I was wrong back then, but there is no other way." If my people stop Chu Chen, my identity will inevitably be exposed, and if I happen to meet you, I will just use you. ”
An Huajin put his head aside.
Gu Qingyan coughed lowly, "I don't justify what happened back then, do it again, maybe I will feed you a hundred kills." After all, the case of the eldest prince's private weapons is really too involved, and since you came to me today, you must have seen that list. ”
An Huajin turned his head back in annoyance, "What are you going to do with your jade pendant and list for me?" Do you want me to report you? ”
Gu Qingyan blinked, "I just want to tell you my identity and let you come to me to settle accounts." I know you won't denounce me, you are talented and smart, and you have a strong temper, if you want to denounce me, you will enter the palace to denounce me if you don't return to Nanyang three years ago. ”
An Huajin snorted coldly, took out the box from his sleeve and threw it to him, "Here you go, I don't want your things." ”
Gu Qingyan didn't answer, "If you give it to you, it's yours." ”
An Huajin rolled his eyes, "Forget it, I can't afford it." ”
Gu Qingyan picked up the box and stuffed it back into her hand, "If you can't afford it, no one in the world can afford it." The words fell, and pressed her hand tightly, "Don't you want to know why so many people are involved in the case of the eldest prince's private weaponry?" ”
An Huajin broke free of his hand and froze.
Gu Qingyan said softly, "If you accept this, I'll tell you." You and I now have a marriage contract, and if the marriage contract is really dissolved in the future, it will not be too late for you to pay me back. After a pause, he added, "With my jade pendant, I can do a lot of things." ”
"Huh? Like what? An Huajin looked at him.
"For example, in the Red Pink Lane of Eighth Street, you can take out a jade pendant to any shopkeeper, and he will follow your orders. You can also instruct me to do things for you. ”
An Huajin squinted, "You? Another example? ”
"For example, I can come forward to help you settle the Seventh Prince, so that he doesn't ask you to discipline you."
An Huajin glared at him, "You know this, too?" When the words fell, she looked at him vigilantly and dangerously, "Is it your idea for Chu Yan?" Let Chu Yan take care of me? ”
Gu Qingyan shook his head, "No, I just got the news this morning, after the Seventh Prince came out of Fengqi Palace, he asked if there was any nurturing grandmother in the palace who was now idle." Guess he's looking for you. ”
An Huajin looked at him strangely, "Gu Qingyan, you don't want to rebel, right?" Is it a word from a noble person in the palace, you know everything and can guess the meaning behind it? ”
This man is terrible!
Gu Qingyan chuckled, "If the Gu family wants to win the world, they don't have to wait until today. ”
An Huajin nodded, too, the Gu family has been entrenched in three dynasties, and they have never had the idea of winning the world, otherwise it would not be the turn of the current Chu family.
She simply took back the box, took out the jade pendant from it, put it in her arms, and then threw the box back to him along with the gold leaf, "I don't want this, you take it back." ”
She didn't want to keep this scourge.
Gu Qingyan saw that she only accepted the jade pendant, bent the corners of her mouth, happily accepted the box and the gold leaf, and said in a low voice, "You have been living in the army, do you know why you have settled down and gone to the battlefield for decades, although you have won one battle after another, but you have buried one person after another?" ”
An Huajin was silent, just looking at him.
Gu Qingyan sighed, "It's because the weapons are outdated, the former emperor and the current majesty re-govern the country with literature, although the imperial court raises millions of soldiers and horses, but it doesn't pay attention to the weapons supervisor." The eldest prince invited His Majesty several times to rebuild the Weapons Supervision Bow and Crossbow Workshop, His Majesty did not allow it, the Great Prince was helpless, eight years ago, after the Battle of Yuxueling, he united several people to privately build the Weapons Prison. ”
An Huajin's face was shrouded in a layer of mist, eight years ago, it was the battle of Yuxueling, her father and brother buried their bones, her mother was sad, she couldn't afford to be sick, it dragged on for half a year, and she died.
Yuxueling's tragic victory in the first battle has become the biggest pain in Nanyang Palace.
Grandpa didn't say a word for seven days, and he was sick for more than half a year, and after her mother went, he finally survived.
At that time, she was eight years old, holding the coffin of her father and brother, and sent it to the Anjia cemetery for burial, thinking of what her grandfather often said to her, "Good soldiers, loyal souls bury bones, and the battlefield of Anjia will never be in the court, but in the frontier." ”
At that time, her two brothers, one of whom was married, and the other was still young, did not leave any heirs.
Her mother closed her eyes and took her hand and said sorry for her, she went down to take care of her father and brother, so she entrusted her to her grandfather, fortunately she is a daughter, no matter what, there is no need to go to the battlefield, she is very relieved.
That was the year, Nanyang Wangfu settled up and down, only grandpa and her were left, and she became the only seedling in Nanyang Wangfu.
Her eldest brother once served as a companion for the eldest prince in Beijing, and he had a very good relationship, and the eldest prince is said to have been ill for three months.
She always knew that the weapons in the army were outdated, and the court did not start to improve them, she once asked her grandfather, who just sighed and said nothing.
Now, she knew that it was His Majesty who did not allow it.
She was silent, Gu Qingyan looked at her, her eyes fell on her face, and her eyes were also covered with clouds like her.
After a long time, An Huajin asked softly, "Only by enriching the country and strengthening the army can the Quartet barbarians congratulate him, why is Your Majesty not allowed to improve the weapons prison?" ”
Gu Qingyan pursed his lips, "Strong generals and strong soldiers, all of them are generals, and they are famous, even if they are not anti-willful, but they are in charge of millions of soldiers and horses, you said that the emperor and His Majesty may be in peace?" ”
Anger rose in An Huajin's heart, "Is this the reason for the loyal generals to bury their bones because of old weapons?" Now the Ann family is a family, the old one is full of gray hair, and the young one is only my daughter's family. Now Your Majesty is relieved? ”
Gu Qingyan sighed, "So, after Yuxueling, the old king of Nanyang entered Beijing to discuss the matter of military power with His Majesty, and happened to see my "Mountains and Rivers", and finally came up with a method of marriage contract, so that the An family and the Gu family could marry and guard the country with one article and one martial arts." ”
An Huajin finally understood, "I see." ”
No wonder her grandfather made an exception to set Gu Qingyan for her, no wonder His Majesty made a concerted effort, no wonder the eldest princess had no pressure to be a matchmaker, and no wonder Gu Qingyan said that this marriage was good for both the An family and the Gu family.
The Gu family does not have the heart to fight for imperial power, the world can see it, and the emperor also believes in the Gu family.
She is the only one in the An family, and the Gu family gives up Gu Qingyan.
The best of both worlds, mountains and rivers can be solid.
