Chapter 149: A Night of Warmth
"Ah Yu, I have something to tell you......" He looked at Gu Yu and said very seriously and happily.
Gu Yu smiled and waited for him to continue, but at this moment, Shen's voice shouted from behind him: "Ah Yu-"
Xie Xuan turned his head sharply when he heard the sound, and when he saw Shen Shi walking towards this side, he was surprised and naturally closed his mouth.
Gu Yu pulled Shen Shi in front of Xie Xuan and said, "It's just right, I also have something to tell you, Xie Lang, this time I am very grateful for helping me find Ge Xian Weng to give my A-Niang a sillness, with his wonderful hand to rejuvenate, my A-Niang's illness has really been cured." After that, she glanced at the Shen family and introduced in a low voice with a smile, "This is Xie Qilangjun of the Xie family of Chen County." ”
said softly to Xie Xuan again: "This is my aunt." ”
Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then bowed to the Shen family very politely, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Shen is fine." ”
Receiving such a humble salute from Xie Xuan, the Shen family was slightly stunned, and actually looked at Xie Xuan in a daze: it stands to reason that with Xie Xuan's noble family background, even if a woman of an inferior scholar clan like them sees it, even if she does not bow her head and salute, it will definitely not be his turn to receive courtesy, in her impression, those high-ranking scholars have always been high-minded and arrogant, because they have been used to being looked up to since childhood, and they will never take those who are inferior to them in their eyes.
And this Xie Qilangjun is really weak and gentle, which is different from most of the gate valve disciples.
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but be a little worried, she herself knew how difficult it was to marry the high-ranking lord and the inferior scholar clan nowadays, she originally had a marriage contract with Gu Yue, but she was humiliated by taking her wife as a concubine because of the family's loss of power, and she always didn't want Ah Yu to follow in her footsteps.
At this time, the Shen family didn't know about the Xie family's request for marriage, and her long-term wait-and-see refusal to answer made Xie Xuan a little embarrassed.
Gu Yu also tugged at Shen's sleeve with a little embarrassment, and reminded in a low voice: "Ah Niang, this time we have to thank Qilangjun for saving him, we should thank him well!" ”
Shen Shi woke up in shock, glanced at Gu Yu quite meaningfully, and said with a bow: "Yes, I have heard the good name of Xie Qilang of Chen County for a long time, thank you Langjun for helping." ”
Xie Xuan smiled slightly, bowed his head to express a polite response, but gave Gu Yu a look and said, "Actually, I didn't help much." It's your daughter who is so powerful and protects you! ”
He didn't do much to help, but as soon as the men arrived, they frightened the Assassins into fleeing.
In a blink of an eye, everyone's eyes fell on the carriage that Gu Yu was riding in that was tied into a hornet's nest, the carriage was just an ebony carriage, but it was larger than ordinary carriages, and the walls of the carriage were thicker, or that the outside of the carriage was decorated with something extraordinarily fluffy, and several arrows were inserted on it flashing with a dazzling cold light.
"Ah Yu, what did you put on this carriage?" Xie Xuan couldn't help but ask jokingly.
Shiqin and Shihua's eyes lit up, and they thought that early this morning, the lady had ordered some of the harnesses to be tied to the carriage, and the kind of saddle smeared with silver powder that had been put on the horse.
"Could this be what the lady said about being prepared?" Poetry and painting couldn't help but be surprised.
Gu Yu nodded, looked at Xie Xuan, and said, "Yes, I just borrowed the wisdom of the sages and ancients, and borrowed arrows from grass carts!" ”
Xie Xuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Borrowed these arrows, and then used the way of others to find out the origin of the murderer?" ”
"Yes." Gu Yu replied.
At this time, Shihua couldn't help but ask: "What about the lady, what about the horse?" Why did the lady make us put that kind of powder on the saddle? ”
Gu Yu replied: "Applying this powder is just to borrow the reflection of sunlight to achieve the effect of interfering with people's vision. ”
Shiqin and Shihua were still a little ignorant, so Xie Xuan continued: "In other words, the position of the horse they see may not be the position of the real horse, so the arrow did not really hit the horse, and the wisdom of Ah Yu always makes my generation of men embarrassed." ”
"It's just that their archery skills are so good, and they didn't slip through the net." Gu Yu also answered seriously.
Xie Xuan looked at her expression, couldn't help laughing, and uncontrollably reached out to Gu Yu's cheek, but his fingers touched the tip of Gu Yu's nose and seemed to be aware of the surrounding gaze, pausing slightly.
was so affectionate and polite, but it made Shiqin and Shihua who were watching from the side couldn't help but laugh.
At this time, Xie Xuan returned to his seriousness and ordered the song behind him: "Put away these arrows, hand them over to Yanwei, and then go to investigate, who did today's assassination?" ”
"Yes! Shichiro-kun! ”
All the tribes responded to the order, and they gathered around, and when they were about to go to get the arrows, they suddenly heard Gu Yu say: "Wait, don't take it first, put on gloves and then talk." ”
Xie Xuan immediately understood, raised his hand to order those subordinates to retreat and leave, and then said to Gu Yu: "Then let's go back to Wuyi Lane first, and I'll take you to see something." ”
After speaking, he subconsciously reached out to take care of Gu Yu's Rouyi, and just stretched out his hand halfway and retracted it forcefully, at this time, the two maids who were watching in a daze finally laughed lowly.
Xie Xuan's ears turned red again, but he heard Gu Yu also laugh with a puff, and when he was a little at a loss, unexpectedly, his hand was warm, and the slippery and warm touch wrapped around his palm like silk, making his whole person a little frozen, and his heart couldn't control the puff and puff.
At this time, Gu Yu looked bitter, and ordered the subordinates and servants behind him: "Let's go, go to Wuyi Lane, go to our new home." ”
The so-called new home is also the house that Xie Xuan sold to Gu Yu, although it is not adjacent to Xie's house, but it is not far away, when Gu Yu and Xie Xuan led a group of subordinate servants to the door of this mansion, they saw that in front of the house was a group of men with big sleeves and black clothes.
Among these Lang Jun, the most eye-catching are the two sons of the Langya Wang family, Langya Wang Wulang and Wang Qilang, and one is Zhang Shilang, whom she has not seen for a long time.
Seeing Gu Yu and Xie Xuan coming hand in hand, Zhang Shishilang's face changed slightly, and he actually showed a little surprise, he really didn't expect it, but he hadn't seen it in just over a month, and the girl who had played with him since he was a child and grew up has now become the most famous talented girl in Health City, and it has also made the Delong Kanghuan clan and the Chen Jun Xie clan compete for marriage.
But Gu Yu walked over with a calm demeanor and said very casually: "Twelve Lang, long time no see." ”
After Zhang Shishilang came to health, he quickly went to Jiangzhou to serve under Wang Yunzhi, and did not come back to participate in the customized assessment until the day of the Zhongzheng assessment.
When we meet again, it's a matter of fact.
Zhang Shishilang also muttered: "Eleven Niang, long time no see." ”
At this time, I don't know who said: "The hands are like soft wattles, the hands are like soft wattles, the skin is like clotted fat, the collar is like a grub, the teeth are like a rhinoceros, the head of the mantis is like a moth eyebrows, and the smile is smiling!" Beautiful eyes! I didn't expect that Gu Shiniang, who was famous in the Health City, was still such a stunning beauty, and if she knew this, she shouldn't have let Xie Qilang Jun take the lead, hahaha......"
"Jiulang, don't talk nonsense, Eleven Niang is different from ordinary beauties, don't be disrespectful!" Wang Lang immediately interrupted solemnly, and then introduced to Gu Yu, "This is also the son of my Langya Wang family, and the concubine of my uncle Wang Yunzhi, Wang Jiulang." ”
Gu Yu's eyes soon fell on this Wang Jiulang, and he secretly said in his heart: It turns out that this is Wang Jiulang, and it is also the concubine of the Langya Wang family married by Gu Shiniang in the previous life, everyone says that the children of the Langya Wang family are like a variety of pearls and jades when they get together, and this Wang Jiulang is no exception, and his appearance is quite strange and handsome, but the kind of gaze that looks at people is quite uncomfortable at first sight.
Gu Yu gave a salute to Wang Jiulang, Wang Jiulang laughed, and said repeatedly: "Fortunately, I will be happy!" I'm just joking, I hope Eleven Niang doesn't mind, I heard that you will move to Wuyi Lane today, and we all come to wish you a housewarming. ”
Gu Yu smiled slightly and returned the salute.
So it was inevitable to hold a banquet in the new house, and after the banquet was dispersed, it was already evening, Gu Yu ordered someone to take down all the arrows on the carriage and collect them, and also arranged for several subordinates to keep an eye on one person.
When he heard that the person Gu Yu was going to target was the Yu family, Xie Xuan's expression moved, and he couldn't help but pull her alone into the pavilion and asked, "Ah Yu, are you suspicious of today's assassination?" ”
Gu Yu nodded.
Xie Xuan's expression changed, and he asked again: "The person you suspect is the Yu family?" ”
Gu Yu nodded again.
Xie Xuan suddenly felt a chill in his heart, a little frightened, and it was common for conflicts and disagreements between his mother and concubine, but it was rare to hate sending so many people to assassinate him.
"Why did she assassinate you? Could she ......?"
"She is the owner of Chongqi Building." Gu Yu replied truncatedly, "And I suspect that my grandfather's rebellion back then had something to do with her." ”
Xie Xuan was silent, he actually wanted to tell Gu Yu that you don't have to worry about these things if they have nothing to do with you, but he still can't say the words when they come to his lips.
Gu Yu saw that his eyes were sparkling, so he asked with a smile: "What's wrong, Xie Lang?" ”
Xie Xuanqing moved, then took her into his arms again, and whispered in her ear: "Ah Yu, there is something I don't know if I should tell you?" ”
"What's the matter?"
As soon as the words were asked, they heard a coughing sound, and when the two looked back, they saw that it was Shen and Chen Yu walking towards this side together.
"Ah Yu, Ah Niang made some dim sum, you and Xie Qilangjun can taste it together." As he spoke, Shiqin and Shihua put a plate of delicate pastries and a plate of goat milk jelly on the table in the pavilion, and hurriedly took a robe from Chen Yu's hand, personally put on Gu Yu's body, looked at Gu Yu with a loving face and said, "It's cold in the middle of the night, don't catch a cold anymore." ”
Gu Yu's heart warmed slightly, and he also said with a smile: "Thank you, Auntie." ”
"Thank you, you are A-Niang's flesh and blood, A-Niang is only your daughter."
After that, there was a bit of sadness in Shen's tone, and this sadness quickly reminded Gu Yu of what she said in the carriage today: "It's not enough for you to take away my son, and now you still want to kill my daughter." ”
Gu Yu wanted to ask what happened when the Shen family gave birth to her, but in front of Xie Xuan, it was inconvenient to speak, so he smiled slightly.
At this time, Xie Xuan saw the appearance of the Shen family like Gu Yu, and his heart was even more complicated and indescribable, and the original idea of telling Gu Yu the truth also fell silent in an instant.
After Shen said a few words, he shook Gu Yu's hand, saluted Xie Xuan, and turned around to leave with Chen Yu and the two maids.
Both maids were a little excited in their hearts, and they wept a little excitedly.
"The lady used to always say that it was not suitable, but it made us worry for a while, but now it seems that she still has intentions for this Xie Qilangjun."
"Yes! Although this Xie Qilangjun is not as handsome as that Huan Langjun, he is also a noble immortal, and his smile is so charming, even I can feel that his eyes are full of admiration and distress when he looks at the lady. ”
The two maids laughed, and Shen couldn't help muttering: "Is it distressing?" If it's distressed, it's fine. ”
Which of these noble children is not just trying to have fun for a while, first, they see a lot of beauties, and secondly, it is easy to get them, and they will not fall in love with a certain person, and they are afraid that they will not know how to cherish it after they get their bodies...... But if you feel distressed, at least people with a conscience will know better how to respect and love someone.
After returning to the courtyard, Chen Yu said happily: "Lady, you really regard Ah Yu as your own daughter now!" ”
Shen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yes! Maybe people are like this, when they get it, they don't know how to cherish, and when they are about to lose, they will be afraid of regret, when she was by my side, I looked at her face, hated her, hated her, and resented all my misfortunes on her, and now, I feel that she is about to be snatched away, but I can't help but be afraid, afraid that she will leave me, afraid that this only daughter will eventually be lost. ”
"Lady, why are you so troubled, Ah Yu, this child grew up under the watch, even if she knows that she is not the mother's own, she will not complain about the mother and leave the mother. Ah Yu is a child who behaves in a standardized manner, she will definitely take revenge if she is kind, and she will never be soft when she has hatred. The lady at least has the grace of nurturing her. And...... And it's all because the man ......"
"Yes! Even I don't want to understand why he took that woman's child and put her by my side when he cared so much about that woman. ”
……
In the pavilion here, when Gu Yu asked Xie Xuan what was the matter, Xie Xuan didn't say anything again, but asked instead: "Ah Yu, what will you do next?" We ......"
He wanted to ask if you would agree to my proposal and marry me now, but he was sincerely afraid of getting an answer that would disappoint him.
If you don't ask, you won't be disappointed, he can wait, let alone three or five years, even a lifetime, he is willing to wait.
At this time, Gu Yu naturally didn't know what he was thinking, but looked up at a star in the north center of the night sky with a very focused expression, and when Xie Xuan walked to her side, she suddenly held his hand, pointed to the position of the star, and said: "Xie Lang, you see, the emperor star is dim, the emperor is in danger in Ziwei Yuan, and I am afraid that something big will happen in this health city." ”
Xie Xuan's expression also changed, and his heart became solemn, and he said secretly: Could it be that that thing is about to happen?
While he was thinking, Gu Yu suddenly turned around, and the soft lip flap gently imprinted his lips, making his body tingle, and his heart fluttered again.
"I know what you want to ask, give me some more time." Gu Yu said in his ear.
Give me some more time, and that's okay! Xie Xuan was overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but hold her tightly in his hand, bumped into her teeth under emotion, chased and frolicked, and fell into confusion.
Soon, he also knew how serious the danger of the Son of Heaven that Gu Yu said, almost the next morning, the news of the Son of Heaven's critical illness came from the palace, and at the same time, another edict reached Gu Yu's mansion.
At this time, the house where Gu Yu was located had been hung with a plaque with the word "Shen Mansion" written on it, and the edict from the palace was also addressed to Shen Qian of the Wuxing Shen family.
