Chapter 53: Gift of Jade from Rong
In the middle of April, it has entered summer, the grass and trees are thick and shaded, the shore of Qilin Lake, the willows are full of smoke, the lake is full of colors, and the scenery is beautiful.
Li Guichen travels in a low-key manner, and the boat he takes is also extremely ordinary, not conspicuous in many lakes, and people only think of it as an ordinary noble.
Wei Yuyan was introduced into the boat, and the long curtain completely covered her figure, and when the wind moved, her luxurious skirt was exposed.
"The smoke is late, the fourth master forgives the sin."
After Wei Yuyan entered, he took off the curtain hat, revealing a stunning face. She didn't miss the surprise that flashed in Li Guichen's eyes, and then greeted her and said softly.
"Nothing."
Li Guichen said with a smile, retracted the folding fan, and pointed to the seat opposite, "Sit." ”
"Fourth Master Xie."
Wei Yuyan was not pretentious, and sat down opposite Li Guichen after curtsiding.
Tao Lang had already withdrawn with a very eye-catching eye, beckoning the boatman to sail.
Qilin Lake is named Qilin because it is shaped like a Qilin, blessed and blessed, and the scenery is beautiful. The lake is planted with lotus flowers, the early lotus flowers have appeared in April, and in recent days, the weather has been sunny and the temperature has been slightly higher, these early lotus flowers have been in full bloom. The boat sailed into the depths of the lotus flowers, and the lotus fragrance was fragrant.
"I heard you were sick a few days ago, how are you feeling better these days?"
Wei Yuyan has been sick since Wei Yuxiao came out of the pavilion and has been staying in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
"It's already good, Fourth Master Xie is worried."
The two of them looked familiar, as if they had known each other for a long time, and the relationship between them did not seem to be so simple.
"That'll be fine."
Li Guichen nodded, and said, "Wei Yufei's matter, you did a good job." ”
"The fourth master has a good reputation, and it is Yan'er's honor to share the worries of the fourth master."
Wei Yuyan's assassination of Wei Yufei was Li Guichen's instructions, and she also had her own thoughts, in the end, Wei Yufei died at their hands, although Wei Yuyan didn't understand why Li Guichen would kill Wei Yufei, obviously he was extremely fond of Li Guichen before, and almost everyone thought that she would be the fourth princess. It's a pity that Wei Yufei didn't know until she died that Li Guichen wanted to completely eradicate her.
"You're always so sweet."
Li Guichen smiled and groaned, looking at her eyes full of tenderness, as if he was going to drown people in that gentleness, he said: "As soon as one month, at the latest two months, the mother concubine will choose a concubine for me, are you ready?" ”
"Fourth master, don't worry."
Wei Yuyan's face showed a hint of red, she was bound to win the position of the side concubine of the fourth prince. When Li Guichen said this, he actually promised her the position of side concubine.
"The smoke is ready."
It's not that she doesn't want the position of concubine of the fourth prince, but with her status and status, she can only take the position of side concubine, and no matter how much, it will be impossible. The fourth prince and concubine are very likely to be the eldest lady of the Shifu Shi Caiwei, she and Wei Yufei are known as the Shuangshu of the capital, family background, appearance, talent, Shi Caiwei are all first-class. Now that Wei Yufei is dead, Shi Caiwei's biggest competitor is gone, and she can be said to be the fourth princess.
"That's fine. It's been a long time since I've heard you play the piano. ”
Wei Yuyan heard the sound of the strings and knew the meaning of elegance, immediately stood up, sat down behind the guqin, and asked, "What does the fourth master want to hear?" ”
"Remembering the old people."
Wei Yuyan was stunned for a moment, but still responded in a low voice: "Yes." ”
She is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of which are excellent, You Shanqin, a song "Remembering the Old Man" is naturally difficult for her, but she doesn't know why Li Guichen wants to listen to this song. I don't know who the old man he remembers, is it the person he will never forget in his midnight dream?
The melodious sound of the piano poured from her fingertips, echoed through the ship, and also spread outboard. In the depths of the lotus, a small boat, a fisherman, and a young man.
"Hey, who is this Fuqin?"
The young man's closed eyes were opened, quite interested.
"Childe doesn't know, the early lotus flowers are blooming in the past two days, and many ladies and ladies have come to visit the lake, maybe this is which lady is bulleting."
"I see."
The young man stood up, and soon found the source of the sound of the harp, which was a medium-sized boat, with curtains hanging all around it, and it was so shadowy that two people were seated in it, and a female guest was playing the harp.
The lake breeze moved slightly, and a corner of the curtain was lifted, and the face of the female guest fell into the eyes of the young man. The color of the alluring city flashed away, and the lake breeze went away with the sound of the piano. The young man looked at the boat, and he couldn't come back to his senses.
"Noisy flocks of birds, suddenly see a lonely phoenix."
I don't know how long he watched it, but probably the sound of the piano had stopped, and only the quiet Qilin Lake remained, sparkling and flickering, as if a handful of starlight had been crushed.
"I hope we can see you again one day."
He sighed, he didn't expect that when he first arrived in the capital, he met someone who could be comparable to his friends, but it was a pity that he didn't have the opportunity to meet.
"It's not early, the old man will send me ashore!"
It was time for him to arrive.
"Howler!"
The fisherman paddled to the shore, and then the young man blended into the crowd and headed towards the restaurant by the Qilin Lake.
Qilin Restaurant, he made an appointment here.
"Gu Gongzi, your friend has arrived!"
Seeing him come back, the little second brother hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"When did she come?"
Gu Le was steady, not in a hurry, and slowly walked towards the box.
"That's it! The little one is getting ready to find you! ”
"Now, I'll reward you!"
Gu Le was happy, and casually threw the broken silver to the little second brother.
"Thank you Gu Gongzi!"
The little second brother smiled heartily, and became more and more enthusiastic about the gentleman.
"Let's go pass the food!"
"Okay!"
The little second brother left quickly, and Jun Zile also arrived outside the box he had booked, but his brisk steps hesitated, grinding, and his raised hand didn't knock down for a long time.
"Crunch."
The door suddenly opened, and a familiar face appeared in front of him.
"Why don't you come in?"
But it was not spoken by the man in front of him, but from the house.
Shang Zhi tugged at the corners of his lips, showed a light smile, and said to him, "Fourth son, come in quickly." ”
"Hmm."
Gu Le stubbornly entered the box, and then Shang Zhi swiped the door shut.
Entering the door was a screen, which covered the situation in the room, and only a few people could be seen in shadows.
"Zhenzhen."
Entering the house, Gu Le didn't have that much concern, and after three or two steps, he bypassed the screen and saw the person they were thinking about every day.
"Fourth brother, you're back!"
Wei Yuxiao raised his eyes and saw him, his eyes lit up, and joy appeared on his face.
Gu Le was in a trance, as if he had gone back in time, and they had gone back a few months ago. Every time they met, it was the same as today, and she was so happy, but unfortunately time had passed, and it was only his illusion after all.
"Zhenzhen, you ......"
"Fourth brother, you sit first."
Gu Le had a stomach full of things that he wanted to say to her, but he didn't know where to start when the words came to his lips.
"Fourth brother has lunch?"
"Not yet. I've asked Xiao Erchuan to go, and I've prepared it before, just waiting for you to arrive. ”
Gu Le showed a smile on his face and said, "I order all the food you like, you can eat more later, I heard that the dishes of this Qilin Restaurant are a must in the capital." ”
"Well, thank you, Fourth Brother."
Wei Yuxiao couldn't help but bend her eyebrows, and her heart was warm, Fourth Brother Gu was like this, he thought about her everything, and he couldn't wait to give her the best things in the world.
"Fourth brother, when did you come to the capital?"
However, Wei Yuxiao was caught off guard and asked, "Hui Ran has come with you?" ”
"Uh......"
Gu Lejun's face stiffened slightly, and he couldn't say half a word.
"Fourth brother, you ran out quietly again, my father-in-law and mother-in-law will definitely worry about it again if they know about it!"
The first thing the two siblings did when they met was to be criticized and educated by their sister, Gu Le couldn't cry or laugh, but he also knew that Wei Yuxiao was worried about him, and he stiffened his mouth, "I'm not fine!" Don't worry, I'll go back to Yangzhou after I see you. ”
He didn't want to hide it from his family, but it was obvious that their family was hiding Wei Yuxiao's marriage from him, if he hadn't accidentally heard the conversation between the third child and his parents, he was afraid that he would still be in the dark.
Thinking of this, Gu Le's eyes were clouded.
"Fourth brother!"
Wei Yuxiao was helpless and angry, she knew Gu Le's temper, but this was always worrying.
"Don't worry, your fourth brother and I are strong in martial arts and rich, so I'm not afraid to go anywhere, don't worry."
Gu Le reached out and touched the top of her hair, changed the topic, and said, "Zhenzhen, are you still used to returning to the capital these days, have those people bullied you?" ”
"There's nothing I'm not used to, and they don't dare to bully me now."
Wei Yuxiao is a person who reports good news but not bad news, but Gu Le knows a lot of things, how can he be fooled by her words, "Then why are you sick and being mistreated." ”
It was spread all over the streets and alleys, even if it was for revenge, why did she hurt herself, at her own expense! Moreover, she really married Rui Wangye, was this forced by them?
"Isn't that good right now?"
The person who was asked became Wei Yuxiao, and she forgot about this stubble.
"Humph!"
Gu Le snorted coldly, showing no signs of letting her go at all, and said, "You married Lord Rui, did they force you?" ”
"Half and half."
Wei Yuxiao had long known that he would ask this, but he had a manuscript.
"What's that saying?"
"I married Lord Rui, and during this period there was a design by Qi'an, and I was also planning at the beginning."
However, after marrying Li Fuxian, she knew that this was all the result of his manipulation, but she didn't say this to Gu Le, otherwise she would worry him again.
"That'...... What does he do to you? I heard that the person he always wanted to marry before was Wei Yufei. If you get married, will he embarrass you? ”
He was especially worried about this, if Li Fuxian dared to bully her, he would definitely not let him go!
"Lord Rui is very good to me."
It's good, because he's been targeting her from the beginning, and he's been liking her for a long time, which is ridiculous.
Gu Le looked her up and down carefully before hesitating: "Then what are you going to do in the future?" ”
She can't stay in the capital for the rest of her life.
"We'll talk about it then."
Wei Yuxiao lowered her eyelashes, she didn't know what would happen after that, there were too many variables, she could only take one step at a time.
If it really comes to the day when she is leaving, will Li Fuxian let her go?
