Chapter 7: Chance Encounters
Gu Ange hung the word Nalan on the plaque of the mansion openly, and the news to the outside world was not covered up much, so everyone who should know knew that the Fanyin Gongzi of Nalan Villa had come to the capital to live in the capital recently. Fanyin Gongzi has superb medical skills and a kind heart, so for a while, people come and go every day in Nalan Mansion, although Nalan Gongzi has rules and does not treat people in the court, but there is no absolute thing in this world, and I can't tell when the price he proposed will make Fanyin Gongzi's heart move, but when it is not easy to do everything.
Therefore, our Fanyin Gongzi is quite helpless to receive those who come to visit every day.
"Childe, this is a gift from our Highness that our Highness asked his subordinates to give to Childe, and please accept it with a smile." A young man dressed as a guard stood in the hall and said respectfully. Behind him were two small servants holding two brocade boxes, which contained a snow lotus and a box of night pearls.
"Thank you to His Royal Highness the Prince, but it is useless, Nalan Fanyin just came to the capital to live for a while to relax, and I really can't afford the gift of His Highness." Gu Ange was dressed in green clothes, and his light brown eyes seemed to be full of gentle kindness, but he really looked like a good son, a gentle young man, and he really could afford to be called a fairy boy in private by the rivers and lakes.
"It's... His Royal Highness has ordered, and I also ask the prince not to embarrass us. The people standing looked embarrassed, their Royal Highness's health has not been good, if they can make friends with Fanyin Gongzi, they may be able to improve in the future.
"Nalan is just a scattered person, and he has never dealt with people in the court, so I am afraid that he will live up to His Highness's kindness. Someone, send off! Although Gu Ange still had a smile on his face, his brows furrowed fiercely several times, obviously he was already very impatient.
"It's... Alas... That's bothering the son, so I'll leave first. Seeing Gu Ange's resolute appearance, there was obviously no way, after all, Gu Ange's words had already been said so bluntly. I can only retire with someone, even if I can't make friends, I must not make enemies, right?
As soon as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's people left, the porter came to report that His Royal Highness the Third Prince had sent someone to visit.
Gu Ange could only frown again and deal with it.
After the people of the third prince left, Gu Yue came over with a smile, and when he saw Gu Ange's tired appearance, he couldn't help but smile even more cheerfully, "Master, what's wrong with you." ”
"Ah Yue, I really don't want to deal with these favors in the future, and my face is stiff when I laugh." When Gu Ange saw Gu Yue, he hurriedly complained, "If someone comes to the door in the future, you will be responsible for the reception, and my son will not do it." ”
"Oh? Is what the master said true? Gu Yue raised his eyebrows.
"Of course it's true, this kind of thing is simply not done by people." Gu Ange nodded again and again.
"Okay, then just now the porter reported that the side by side royal mansion sent someone to the door, and you didn't see the master?"
"Huh? Side by side in the palace, does Mo Wuxian have anything to explain, you bring people in, I will see you. When Gu Ange heard this, he hurriedly sat up straight.
"Master, didn't you say that all these entertainments will be handed over to me in the future, why did it become so fast when I heard that it was the people who were side by side with the palace." Gu Yue raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and teased.
"Ah Yue~ You have itchy skin, right?" Gu Ange stared at Gu Yue, suddenly smiled, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth. Isn't it too good for these guys lately, one by two have been skinned.
"Don't, master, I'm wrong, I'll go and call someone for you." Gu Yue saw Gu Ange's gloomy smile, his body trembled, and he hurriedly begged for mercy.
Soon, Gu Yue walked in with Kun Tu.
"I've seen Childe." Kun Tumu had a face and saluted respectfully. Kuntu's age is a little younger than Lihuo, but I don't know what's going on, but he has developed an ice cube face, and he looks a lot more mature than Lihuo, who jumped out.
"Well, why did you come here, does your prince have something to explain?" Gu Ange waved his hand and signaled him to excuse himself.
"The prince said that now all the forces in the capital are visiting the prince, if he doesn't follow the trend, I am afraid that it will arouse the vigilance of the palace, and there is that someone in the palace sent a medicinal herb, and the prince asked his subordinates to bring it to the prince." Kuntu opened the jade box in his hand, revealing a white flower that looked like jade and not jade, accompanied by a sweet smell, and everyone who smelled it couldn't help but be in a trance.
"Take it and let me take a look, maybe your prince really sent me a nice thing this time." Gu Ange's eyes lit up when he saw the medicinal herbs in Kun Tu's hand.
Kun Tu respectfully sent the things to the small table in front of Gu Ange, and then retreated to his original position and stood with Gu Yue.
"Sit down, don't get tired from standing." Seeing his restrained look, Gu Ange couldn't help but have a headache.
Kuntu tugged at the corners of his mouth a little stiffly, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile. Instead, Gu Yue smiled and pulled him to find a random place below and sit down. Gu Ange has always been kind to the few people around him who grew up together, so these guys are a little more casual when they get along with her in private.
"Go back and tell your lord, I took this thing, thank him." Gu Ange checked the medicinal herbs in front of him, and the smile on his face was even more obvious.
"Yes." Kuntu responded.
"Master, what is this, you are so happy." Gu Yue saw the joy on Gu Ange's face, and couldn't help but be a little more curious.
Gu Ange closed the lid of the jade box and rubbed it involuntarily, "Who made you not study well when the master wanted to teach you medical skills, and you didn't even know this jade jue grass." ”
"Jade grass?" Gu Yue frowned, as if he was trying to remember what this thing was, and after a long time, he looked at Gu Ange with a bitter face, indicating that he really didn't remember what this thing was. In fact, just like Gu Ange who can't learn martial arts, Gu Yue doesn't have the slightest talent in medical skills, so at the beginning, under the eyes of his master's hatred of iron and steel, he chose a book of piano practice exercises, and thus embarked on the road of a generation of piano masters.
"You, this jade grass grows in the deep mountains of southern Xinjiang, and it is extremely difficult to pick. I just heard the master say, it can refine an excellent hallucinogen, can make people trapped in the hallucination can not get out, and finally be played to death by the hallucination, the effect is extremely domineering, the most important thing is that this hallucinogenous drug has almost no antidote, the only more reliable solution, it is said that you need to let go of most of the blood in the body, but, you know, after letting go of most of the blood in the body, whether you can survive is still a question worth thinking about. Of course, this hallucinogenic drug is also very difficult to refine, so you can rest assured. However, it just so happens that I have the prescription for this medicine in my hand, and I can find almost all the medicinal materials I need. Gu Ange stared at the two people sitting below with a smile, with a kind face.
But the two people below obviously didn't feel where Gu Ange's kindness was, they all shook their bodies, and couldn't help but glance at each other, they both saw fear in each other's eyes, people who can play with poison are simply terrifying.
"No, no." The two of them waved their hands one after another, this kind of poison to solve the thief pit is better to leave it to the professional above.
"You're welcome, this medicinal herb can be refined a lot." Gu Ange looked at the two people below, and suddenly felt a little funny.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Really, we're not welcome at all.
"Okay, I won't tease you, Kuntu, you go back first, it's not good for the prince if you stay in the mansion for too long." Gu Ange coughed lightly, restrained the smile on his face, and straightened up.
Kun Tu obviously knew that what Gu Ange said made sense, and hurriedly stood up, "Yes, then the subordinates will retire first." ”
Gu Ange nodded, and suddenly her eyes fell on the jade box placed on the table, she took out a silk handkerchief from her arms, took out the jade jue grass, and wrapped it carefully, "You take the box together." "After all, all the gifts sent to Nalan Mansion have been returned, and if you accept Mo Wuxian's gifts now, you will inevitably get into trouble.
"Yes." Kun Tu obviously understood what Gu Ange meant, and hurriedly stepped forward to cover the jade box, held it in his hand, and left Nalan Mansion.
Obviously, Gu Ange's concerns were correct, Kuntu left the mansion on the front foot, and on the back foot, the news was sent to the bookcase in the palace.
"The King of Side by Side also sent someone to Nalan Mansion?" The old man in a bright yellow dragon robe with gray hair sat on the golden dragon chair, looking at the secret guard kneeling below, and his tone was flat and he couldn't hear any emotions inside.
"Yes." The kneeling guard below replied briefly.
"How?" The Eastern Zhou Emperor asked.
"Nalan Fanyin did not accept gifts from the King of the Side, and had the same attitude as the other people who came to visit." The Dark Guard replied.
"Well, okay, I know, let's go down." This Nalan Sanskrit sound is quite interesting, and there is nothing that should not be involved with Mo Wuxian. Although he didn't believe that Nalan Fanyin had the ability to cure Mo Wuxian, a person who had been judged by the Tai Hospital to be absolutely impossible to cure, it would be better if he could have less trouble. No matter how superb Fanyin Gongzi's medical skills are, no matter how he is praised by the people on the rivers and lakes, for the Eastern Zhou Emperor, he is just a scattered person in the rivers and lakes, and he really doesn't believe that a teenager has better medical skills than the Tai Hospital.
Gu Ange lived in the mansion for two days, nesting in the mansion every day, making up for the relationship between the capital and the forces of the city today, and some secrets, Gu Yue, who had been watching from the side, really couldn't stand it.
"I said master, can't you go out for a walk, aren't you bored staying in the house every day?" Gu Yue plucked the strings in his hand casually, a little heartbroken, if his master stayed like this any longer, what would he do if he was stupid.
"I still have some information that I haven't read, what are you going to do?" Gu Ange didn't feel that there was anything wrong with staying in the mansion at all, so he waved his hand indifferently and rejected Gu Yue's proposal.
"There's no hurry to see anything, it's not a way for you to look like this every day, and it's not good for your eyes, let's go, master, you haven't been in the capital for so long." Gu Yue spared no effort to suggest, and strived to let Gu Ange go out for a walk.
"Master, you can go out for a walk. Master~"
Gu Ange had no choice but to nod his head and agree, "Okay, okay, I'll go, okay." ”
"That's right." Gu Yue nodded with satisfaction.
So, Gu Ange had no choice but to go out.
Gu Ange, who was walking on the street, looked at the lively scene around him, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, his mood seemed to be a little better, but he felt in his heart that Gu Yue's words still made some sense, and sure enough, he was really comfortable when he came out for a walk.
Looking at the stalls on the street, I was also a little more interested, and slowly paced over and walked slowly.
"It smells so good." Gu Ange's eyes lit up when he smelled the smell from the wonton stall next to him.
"Boss, let's have a bowl of ravioli." Gu Ange walked to the side and sat down, not caring that it was inappropriate for him to come to this kind of stall to eat in this kind of dress.
"Come on, little boy, you sit down first, and the wontons will be fine immediately." The stall owner is a middle-aged woman with a kind face. Prepare the ingredients quickly, put them in the pot, and after a while, a bowl of fragrant chaos is ready. The stall owner brought the wontons to Gu Ange's face, "Little boy eat it while it's hot." ”
"Thank you, boss." Gu Ange thanked him politely, and then began to eat the wontons in front of him quite happily, and while eating, he couldn't help but praise the boss's craftsmanship is really good, this taste is really amazing.
Just when Gu Ange was enjoying eating, a gentle male voice came from behind him, "This little boy is a Sanskrit boy?" ”
Gu Ange was eating happily, and suddenly his name was called, he couldn't help but feel a little unpleasant, put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, frowned and turned his head to look at where the voice came from, but saw Zhou Qifei in purple and Gu Yiyi in a light pink dress standing on the side of the street looking at him, Zhou Qifei still had a gentle smile on his face.
"Who is this son?" Gu Ange hid the impatience in his eyes and asked. She wasn't worried that the two people in front of her would see her identity, after all, she had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and Gu Ange was still very confident in her dress.
Gu Ange, who is in women's clothing, is gentle and moving, with picturesque eyebrows, and is a standard sick and weak lady; But Gu Ange, who is in men's clothing, is as bright as the moon, more like a man than any man, and his gestures are slowly free and easy. No one would associate these two diametrically opposed people. For so many years, only Mo Wuxian has seen through her dress, but she definitely doesn't believe that there are so many people with martial arts as high as Mo Wuxian, at least, there is definitely no one in this capital.
"In the next week, Qi Fei, the third prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty." Zhou Qifei walked over with Gu Yiyi and sat opposite Gu Ange, although Zhou Qifei didn't care about the simplicity around him, but Gu Yiyi looked disgusted, and stood aside a little cautiously, unwilling to sit down.
"It turned out to be the Third Highness, but this son was rude, Your Highness forgive me." Gu Ange didn't care about Gu Yiyi's approach, and was polite to Zhou Qifei without a match.
"Where, the prince of Fanyin is polite, the palace has never seen the son, and it is understandable that the prince does not know the palace." Zhou Qifei is very modest, and he can't see the arrogance of being a prince at all.
"Then thank you Third Highness, I don't know what His Highness is going out ......" Although Gu Ange didn't want to be polite with Zhou Qifei, he also saw that Zhou Qifei would not let himself go so easily.
"Today's weather is good, I'll take Yiyi out for a walk, and buy her something she likes by the way." Zhou Qifei turned his head to look at Gu Yiyi beside him, his tone was gentle, and his eyes seemed to be dripping with water.
"Oh? Is this the Third Princess? I have seen the three princesses in Xia Nalan Fanyin. Gu Ange pretended not to know.
A touch of embarrassment flashed on Zhou Qifei's face, "Haha, no, it's me, yes... It is Miss Gu San of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion. "And then hide it with a haha.
"Oh, that's rude, Miss Gu San." Gu Ange didn't care, raised his eyebrows casually, and then arched his hand perfunctorily.
Gu Ange's style is actually quite rude, Zhou Qifei saw this, but he was still very calm, he just smiled and didn't speak, but Gu Yiyi, who was standing beside him, snorted a little unhappily, "You are so bold!" I didn't know how to salute when I saw Miss Ben. ”
Gu Ange raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Yiyi, and then turned his head to Zhou Qifei, his eyes were very weird. This guy's brain was really raised by Gu Rong, didn't you see that Zhou Qifei was polite to him. It's really interesting, how did such an idiot hook up with His Royal Highness the Third Prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, could it be that this person's taste is so heavy, she clearly remembered that the third princess in the information was still very tricky.
"Yiyi, don't be rude!" Zhou Qifei obviously understood the meaning in Gu Ange's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and hurriedly scolded. In fact, Gu Ange wronged him, Zhou Qifei's vision is no problem, because most of the time, Gu Yiyi is cute and cute in front of him, even if she is a little domineering occasionally, but a noble girl, who doesn't have a little temper, for Zhou Qifei, this is just a harmless little taste. The most important thing is that he likes her is a small aspect, and more importantly, he needs to take the line of the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion through Gu Yiyi.
"Your Highness~" Gu Yiyi didn't know why Zhou Qifei was unhappy, and looked at him a little coquettishly, with a delicate face.
Gu Ange looked at the two people in front of him with an interesting face, "It's okay, the third lady is also straightforward." ”
The look on Zhou Qifei's face became even more embarrassed, frank? Speak openly, without eyes, don't know when to say what you mean? "Forgive me."
"It's nothing, I'm done eating, so I'll leave first." Gu Ange didn't bother to let these two boring guys disturb his rare leisure time, and got up to leave.
"Fanyin Gongzi, please stay." Zhou Qifei also stood up.
"Is there anything else going on with the Third Highness?" A trace of impatience flashed on Gu Ange's face.
"His Royal Highness is sincere in making friends with the son, and I also ask the son to give face." Zhou Qifei's face was full of sincerity.
"His Royal Highness has raised Nalan Fanyin, and he is scattered in the next rivers and lakes, and he doesn't dare to climb high." Gu Ange arched his hand, then put the money on the table and left without looking back.
"Fanyin Gongzi..."Zhou Qifei wanted to say something, but it was too late. In an instant, the original gentle smile on his face suddenly fell, and his face was gloomy and terrifying. He is already such a polite corporal, this Nalan Sanskrit is still so faceless, he really doesn't know how to lift.
"Your Highness?" Gu Yiyi pulled Zhou Qifei's sleeve, looked at his gloomy face, and was a little scared for a while.
"Huh? What's wrong? Zhou Qifei was pulled by her like this, and suddenly came back to his senses, restrained the anger in his eyes, raised a smile on his face again, raised his hand and touched the top of her head, Gu Yiyi lowered his head shyly, but he didn't see that his eyes had drifted to I don't know where to go. Forget it, there are always some people in the rivers and lakes who have a high temper, as long as he ensures that he has always had this high temper and does not associate with people in the court, otherwise once he agrees to treat the people in the court, he will quickly gather a large number of contacts in his hands, and such a person, no matter which force he has an accident with, is a scourge.
"Your Highness, I want to go shopping." Gu Yiyi blushed with a small face, and her voice was weak, where did she remember Zhou Qifei's gaffe just now.
"Okay, let's go." Zhou Qifei took Gu Yiyi's hand and also merged into the middle of the crowd.
