Chapter 35: Make a Deal
Under the golden sunlight, a graceful carriage passed on the ground.
The carriage was adorned on all sides with expensive and fine silks, and the gilded windows were obscured by a curtain of purple crepe, making it impossible to detect the dignity of the nobles in this magnificent speeding chariot.
The carriage clattered back and forth, all the way through the bustling bazaar.
King Zhenbei poured himself a cup of tea and glanced at Shang Xi, who had been silent all the way.
She was silent, and her little face was inevitably a little tangled.
She really didn't expect that Gu Xiannian would have to bear the pain of gouging out her eyes for her, which had a big impact on her, but fortunately nothing happened in the end, otherwise......
"Stop ......" Gu Qiannian's cold voice suddenly came, and he listened to his order: "Go buy a string of sugar gourds." ”
The guards who were driving the car outside got the order and went immediately.
Shang Xi was pulled back to his senses by Gu Qiannian's voice, looking at his angular face, he seemed to be just doing an extremely ordinary thing, there was no half of the wave on his face, and he only glanced at her when he looked at her, which was regarded as giving her a look and a response.
Soon, a string of bright yellow sugar gourds with an outer layer was sent in by the guards outside, and Gu Xiannian took it and handed it to Shang Xi and said, "Eat." ”
When she was a child, she was unhappy, and he would give her a string of sugar gourds.
In my memory, the first time I ate sugar gourd, it was given by him, sweet and sour.
In his memory, whenever he came back from going out, he would bring her a string of sugar gourds.
Over time, the sugar gourd has become a food that she has not been tired of eating for a long time, just because he gave it.
But in the past two years, he has basically stopped buying this for her, and occasionally she is greedy, she runs out to buy a bunch by herself, but subconsciously she also feels that this is a child's food, and she is not a child, so she deliberately refuses to eat again.
Shang Xi still reached out to take the sugar gourd he handed over, I don't know how the sugar gourd in the capital is different from hers? She first stretched out her pink tongue and licked it, then took another bite under Gu Qiannian's gaze, and slowly chewed it in her mouth for a while......
"I'm not a kid anymore, and I won't eat sugar gourds in the future." I realized that in Gu Qiannian's eyes and heart, he may have always treated her as a child, so he knew that she was no longer a child, he could still use a string of sugar gourds to coax her, and he could also open his mouth to let her call him Uncle Wang, without any pressure.
Thinking of the title of Uncle Wang, it is really ...... It's unpleasant......
So, she secretly decided not to eat it as a protest against her upset.
"You eat, don't waste it." Although he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't dare to show it too obviously in front of Gu Qiannian, so he could only say glutinously, although he usually protects her, such as today, he can even stand up and say that he wants to bear the pain of gouging out her eyes on her behalf, but this person is born with that momentum that makes people fear him.
Like a little daughter-in-law who had been wronged and oppressed by him, she handed the sugar gourd to him.
He didn't take it, just leaned over, took a bite of the sugar gourd in her hand, took the sugar gourd she had just bitten and even licked in his mouth, and slowly ate it.
Shang Xi's eyes suddenly widened, and the deer on his chest slammed into each other.
He bit half of it himself, and he actually took it in his mouth and ate it himself? She knew Gu Qiannian's temperament, so he wouldn't eat the food that others had touched, let alone let her take a bite......
Seeing his two thin lips touching gently, eating something so beautiful, she unconsciously made a swallowing motion, and she actually hoped that it would be she who would be eaten in her stomach.
This bold idea collapsed into her mind without warning, making her cheeks red instantly, and her intuition was hot, and she didn't dare to look at him again, in order to hide her shocking thoughts, she turned sideways slightly, blushed, and ate the sugar gourds in her hand one by one without a sound.

The carriage returned to Anguo Shenfu leisurely, and the two of them came back like this safe and sound, and the second lady who learned the news secretly bit a mouthful of silver teeth, thinking that this time the emperor would definitely cure Shangxi's sin, hurt the princess, and it was impossible for him to come back alive.
The fourth lady was also angry: "Mother, they are about to get married, and they will leave the Anguo Divine Mansion after they get married, can we only watch Shang Xi, a little cheap hoof, leave like this?" ”
The second lady said unhurriedly: "It's not too early." ”
"It's still early, a month has passed in a flash." The fourth lady is impatient, and she can't wait to crush Shang Xi's bones and ashes immediately, she can't lose her temper with Gu in the past, but this suppressed anger is all used on Shang Xi's body, she still doesn't believe it, and she can't fix Shang Xi's girl.

The gentle wind blew, lying at the door of his house basking in the sun, the ambiguous sun hit people's faces and bodies, not to mention how pleasant it was, but Shang Xi's heart was actually depressed.
There was some noisy sound from the mouth, and Shang Xi shouted, "Autumn, what's going on outside?" ”
"Miss Shang, I'll take a look." Autumn on duty said yes and ran out quickly, and after a while, he ran back to report: "Miss Shang, it's Master Hou who is here with someone." ”
At first glance, when he heard that the waiter was coming again, Shang Xi also sat up and asked, "What is he doing here?" ”
"Isn't the king of Zhenbei going to marry the princess? This yard is to be rectified after all, so Hou Ye sent someone to help clean up, but our Zhenbei King asked people to stop him from coming in...... "This matter was reported to Hou Ye, he was naturally unhappy, so he came to take a look in person, but without the consent of the Zhenbei King, even Hou Ye couldn't enter this courtyard, so Hou Ye was angry at the door."
Shang Xi also stood up at this time and walked out with great interest.
I've been bored in the yard for the past few days, and she's about to get sick.
In this waiting day, if it weren't for Gu Qiannian's sake, she would really want to leave.
~
Shang Xi walked to the gate of Qingfeng East Courtyard, and sure enough, he heard Hou Ye shouting from afar: "You guys quickly call Gu Qiannian out for me." "I'm really angry with him, he, who is an old man, can't go in and out of his courtyard freely.
It is very unfortunate that today Hou Ye met Meng Lang and Shen Shi, these two people are both from the rivers and lakes, how can they put Hou Ye in their eyes, naturally they will not be afraid of his noble identity, but in the end, it is Gu Xian's father, it is Hou Ye's identity, the two of them let him roar, Meng Lang listened honestly, and Shen Shi replied unashamedly: "Hou Ye, you are angry, our master is really not in the house, don't embarrass us." ”
"I'm not in the house, and I'm still not able to go in and out of my son's room freely?"
"Ahem......" Shang Xi covered his lips as he walked over, pretending to cough lightly to show his presence.
As soon as Hou Ye saw her, his stomach was even more angry, and when he looked at her, he couldn't wait to make a hole in her, so he heard Shang Xi say: "Hou Ye, you dissipate your anger, it's useless for you to yell at them, this rule is set by your son, why don't you wait for your son to come, you discuss with him, so that you can come and go here freely in the future?" ”
"Shut up for me." Hou Ye was angry, he really didn't want to deal with her, but when he heard her speak, he couldn't help but want to scold her.
Shang Xi was not annoyed, smiled, looked at the slaves and maids waiting beside Hou Ye, and said, "Hou Ye, let's make a deal, I will let them in to do things, and you promise me a condition." ”
Actually dared to negotiate a deal with him, asking for conditions, Hou Ye couldn't wait to eat her in one bite, but in the end he endured it, Gu Qiannian didn't want to get married to him at all, ten days have passed in this moment, and there is not much time left.
He also knows that his son doesn't want to be this parent, but the matter has come to this, he can't Zhang Luo, he still wants Zhang Luo as a father, and he is marrying a princess, so he can't be cold and lonely here all the time, and Anguo Shenfu still has to talk to each other with joy, otherwise, if it reaches the emperor's ears, it will cause unnecessary suspicion among the emperor.
Hou Ye endured his anger at Shang Xi and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?" ”
