Chapter 75 Disputes
When An Yan came to find it, Gu Mingxiu was not upstairs, but leaned against the railing downstairs and looked at the people who were about to splash ink and paint landscape paintings. She stood very straight, her hands on the vermilion wooden railing, a pair of eyes staring at the painter with extremely serious eyes, her skirt hanging on the ground, purple and white light gauze, extremely dignified.
The girl's side face was full of brightness, and a handful of sideburns floated next to her ears and brushed her cheeks, as if she was about to fall on people's hearts.
The young man on the stairs paused, and his anxious emotions were somehow smoothed out. He stood there and watched for a long time before he stepped forward and called her, "Cousin, how did you get here?" β
Gu Mingxiu came back to his senses and pursed his lips, but he looked a little apologetic: "I thought that there were a few calligraphy and paintings missing in the room, and I looked a little uncomfortable, so I wanted to look for it, but I came across the painting, and I thought it was interesting, so I looked at it more, and forgot to tell my cousin, it's mine." β
"I'm in a hurry." An Yan paused, took over the matter, and said as if unintentionally, "Grandfather wrote a good handwriting when he was young, and his style is awe-inspiring. If your cousin likes it, you can ask your grandfather to write a few. β
He said: "Cousin can ask Tingting, grandfather's handwriting is indeed very good." β
An Yan said and made a move to walk upstairs, and Gu Mingxiu immediately followed up, parallel to An Yan. She didn't look suspicious, but hesitated slightly: "But...grandfather Fang Hui, there are a lot of trivial things to think about." Xu is still going to enter the palace to face the saint, and there must be many affairs to deal with. β
"...... doesn't have much to do." An Yan hesitated slightly, as if he didn't know how to speak.
The two of them went back to the third floor at this moment, and An Yan changed the topic and said, "Someone just made trouble, so I'll go to find you." I haven't looked at these weapons properly. The weapons here are very rare compared to Jing Zhou, so I'll take a closer look. β
"I'll take a look, too." An Yan originally wanted Gu Mingxiu to take a walk at will, so she heard her say softly, "Agarwood, you can choose one of the available ones, it's better to keep it for self-defense." β
When An Yan looked over, Gu Mingxiu smiled slightly: "It's always easy to be calculated, and I wanted Agarwood to prepare weapons earlier." It's just that there was not enough silver in the past, but today I was stuffed with a lot of silver by my uncle before going out. β
The girl was a little embarrassed when she spoke of silver, but her eyes were bright.
The young man was silent and said, "If you have something you like, just buy it." I don't have enough money here, so we'll buy whatever you like. β
Gu Mingxiu nodded obediently and did not refuse.
An Yan did come to see the weapon. Seeing that the baby didn't say much, but the bottom of his eyes lit up slightly, Xiao Er explained to him the origin of the treasure weapon, and led An Yan to see other weapons.
Although Agarwood had Gu Mingxiu's permission, she didn't go too far away from her, just followed her to choose.
Gu Mingxiu stopped on a shelf, his eyes attracted by a dagger under the shelf. The dagger lay horizontally under a sword, seemingly falling.
The dagger is very small, but it is extremely light in the hand. The handle is engraved with ten unique patterns, inlaid with a faint blue gravel, revealing a bit of cold light, it seems to have a melancholy light flickering from a distance, but there is no light when you look closely.
Gu Mingxiu looked at the dagger in his hand curiously, and a little thought flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, Xiao Er, who was standing on the side, thought that Gu Mingxiu had seen something, so he stepped forward with a smile to explain to her. When his eyes fell on the dagger in the other party's hand, his body stiffened slightly, and he stopped in place with some embarrassment and didn't know what to say, he silently retreated and hurriedly went in one direction.
After a while, someone rushed over: "Miss Gu, do you fancy this dagger?" β
But it is the red sleeves of Yilan Garden.
"Well, this dagger is pretty good." Gu Mingxiu cushioned the dagger in his hand, held the handle tightly and slowly pulled the dagger halfway, put it in his hand and flipped it over.
The dagger is light and convenient in her hands, and it is indeed a good weapon if it is in the hands of someone who knows martial arts.
Red Sleeves looked at her at the dagger and smiled a little reluctantly: "Miss Gu, be careful, this dagger is very sharp." It's easy, it's easy to hurt-" Before he finished speaking, he saw Gu Mingxiu pull out the dagger in its entirety, but the action was a little thrilling, and it was very easy to hurt his palm.
Without waiting for Red Sleeves to speak, Gu Mingxiu stuffed the dagger back again: "I bought this dagger." She touched the dagger, looking a little reluctant, "I just don't know how much silver......
Red Sleeves paused, a somewhat complicated light flashed in his eyes, and then said with a smile: "This dagger originally asked for money, but if Miss Gu wants to buy it, then there is no need for silver." She reminded, "Miss Gu won the first place in the second test of piano and chess in the Wenhui, and she was also in the top three in the book test, so she could choose a favorite thing in our garden to take away." β
She smiled and blessed herself: "It was our negligence that we have not invited Miss Gu to come so far, and today's hospitality is not considerate." This dagger, I asked someone to wrap it up for Miss Gu. β
Gu Mingxiu nodded: "In this way, then there will be work." β
"Girl!" Mo Zhu's voice came, she was just sent by Gu Mingxiu to see Gu Liyi and the others, and she hurried over at this moment, and whispered, "Something happened to Miss Five." β
Gu Mingxiu's eyes were slightly dark, and he walked quickly towards the red sleeve and chin head.
Staring at the back of the beautiful woman in the distance, Red Sleeves touched the dagger in his hand, lazily handed it to the frightened Xiao Er behind him, and ordered: "Go, wrap this dagger." If the master asked..... he would say that his dagger had been bought by Miss Gu Si. β
β¦β¦β¦
It wasn't Gu Liyi who quarreled with someone, it was An Ting.
Lifted a few tables, smashed porcelain cups and clay pots on the ground, and made a mess everywhere. The bright girl held a bow and arrow in her hand, stared at the few red-faced boys opposite, and sneered: "Just you, you want to stop me?!" β
Those sons and brothers held back their anger and didn't dare to argue with her, and they were annoyed by many onlookers for a while, so they didn't say much, but just blocked the two of them and didn't let them go.
When Gu Mingxiu and An Yan came over, they saw such a scene.
After a pause, Gu Mingxiu stood in place, his eyes faintly swept over Gu Liyi and the others, and when he fell on the pile of boys, he suddenly smiled lightly: "I don't know, when did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince become a person who likes to watch dramas." Seeing that others were embarrassed, the little girl didn't say anything, and blocked people to prevent them from leaving. β
As soon as she finished speaking, there was silence all around.
Someone behind the boy smiled lightly: "I haven't seen you for many days, but the fourth lady still remembers me." β
Hearing this voice, Gu Liyi's body froze, and a trace of anger rose on his face. She pushed An Ting away abruptly and ran to Gu Mingxiu's side, holding her hand, and staring at the person who slowly stood up with full vigilance.
After signaling the group of people to stand down, the person who stood up was indeed Shen Yang.
He has a handsome face, and when he smiles, he is kind and gentle, without the slightest royal arrogance.
After bowing his head, Shen Yang's voice was a little helpless: "Fourth Miss, it is indeed a misunderstanding." The... This girl's archery skills are exquisite, and these friends saw that she was still young and suspected her of cheating, so they questioned a few words, and they didn't want to. This girl couldn't bear it so much, so she started to do it on the spot. β
"If you lose, you lose, and if you don't let me go, it's nothing." An Ting didn't give face at all, just sneered, "Don't talk so much nonsense, if you stop me again, you will all be beaten down." β
"Tingting!" An Yan scolded.
Gu Mingxiu glanced at An Ting, who was angry: "If you just stop it, my cousin won't be so angry, I think you still said some annoying things." She smiled slightly, but she didn't look at the prince Shen Yang, "Winning or losing is a common thing, and if your skills are not as good as others, it's so boring." β
She said lightly: "She is the granddaughter of General An, so why can't she be proficient in archery when she is younger." β
The group of talents on the opposite side changed color slightly, and some people around looked at An Ting, and they talked in a whisper.
"Your Highness shouldn't know these people, so it has nothing to do with Your Highness." Gu Mingxiu looked at Shen Yang, her tone was apologetic, and she seemed to be very sincere, "The courtiers thought that His Highness was watching his cousin being bullied, so she said something offensive, and asked Her Highness to forgive me." β
Shen Yang looked at her quietly, with a consistent smile on his face: "It's okay, but Miss Jiao'an is frightened." After a pause, he looked at Gu Mingxiu meaningfully and said, "This time, don't you want me to call the shots for you?" β
His tone was meaningful, and he made people look different.
Gu Mingxiu's face did not change: "There are so many witnesses, naturally there is no need to bother Your Highness." The last time His Royal Highness was in charge of the courtier's younger brother in the racecourse, the courtiers were very grateful and did not dare to bother His Highness again and again. β
Shen Yang wants to set up a trap for her, but it also depends on whether she is willing to enter. The front foot heard that General An was back in Beijing, and the back foot came over to take the opportunity to test it, but it was as reckless and ridiculous as ever.
Gu Mingxiu's expression was faint, and his half-drooping eyes flashed a little sarcastic.
"My sister is stubborn, it's her to do it today, and I'll compensate you." An Yan stepped forward, bowed his hand to a group of people with ugly faces, and raised his head in a slightly deep voice, "It's just that the General's Mansion has never been easy to bully, and I will ask you for an explanation when we find out what is right and wrong." β
Everyone was silent and looked at each other with some embarrassment.
After a moment, one of them coughed: "No, no need. It was because we had eyes and didn't know Mount Tai and offended Miss An. She, she played well, she played very well, we should fight. β
"Yes, yes, it's our fault, please Miss An don't care about it anymore." The other person hurriedly took over the conversation, glanced at them cautiously, and begged for mercy in a low voice, "We won't dare in the future, and please let Miss An and Young Master An let us go." β
An Ting snorted coldly: "Get out!" β
Seeing this, those people hurriedly covered the injured place and turned around and ran away.
Shen Yang looked at Gu Mingxiu and said softly: "I haven't seen Miss Gu for a long time, but it is also fate to meet here today, why don't you go to the elegant house and sit down and gossip?" He sighed, his tone a little regretful, "Last time, I sat opposite your brother and sister, but now Brother Gu isβ"
"My cousin is no longer from the Gu Mansion now." An Yan suddenly spoke, interrupting Shen Yang's words coldly.
He arched his hand, not caring at all about Shen Yang's slightly different face: "We have been out for a while, and if we go back late, we will be punished by our grandfather, and we can't be invited to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for forgiveness today, so we will leave first." β
After saying that, he bowed his head again, and turned around with Gu Mingxiu and the three of them.
In the huge hall, everyone else dispersed. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had a mild complexion, stared at the few people who were far away, and his eyes suddenly became cold, revealing a bit of gloom.
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
