Chapter 1 Private Determination for Life
The new general will enter the formation to compose string songs, and the consensus is that Lanling Jia Yuduo is more.
Make a dance and a worker, and when the banquet is like a guest.
- "Lanling King's Entrance Song"
The cold wind was howling, and the carriage was covered in silver.
The coachman was driving his horse with difficulty, and inside the carriage, Gu Zimo's patience was about to reach its limit.
If it hadn't broken down on his way back to the city, he, who had always been high, would never have gotten into this carriage.
Several men in the carriage looked at him with obscene eyes unabashedly, and when they saw that he lowered his head and was speechless and expressionless, they simply began to ask the price: "Little brother, you look so handsome, as long as you accompany me for one night, the price is as you like?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Gu Zimo's face turned pale from the cold, and he swept coldly over the obscene man.
Fuck it, I actually treat him as a small restaurant in the Qinglou!
are still two yellow-haired boys who are only in their early teens and are still in the period of voice change!
If it weren't for their young age, he would have kicked the two hairy boys out of the carriage with a merciless kick.
"Why don't you speak? Is one night too short? β
ββ¦β¦β
Gu Zimo's silence aroused the dissatisfaction of the young man: "Little brother, should you say it?" Don't you think we can't afford to pay? Do you know who I am? I'm the son of Song Yuanwai in Tianyun City, my father is very rich, if you play with me all night......"
"What is his father? My dad is amazing, my dad's restaurants are all open to Yecheng, little brother, you haven't been to Yecheng yet, Yecheng is the capital of our Northern Qi Dynasty, and it is even more prosperous than this whole Yongcheng......"
The two seemed to be competing, and the more they talked, the more they went too far, Gu Zimo really couldn't listen to it, and slammed his fist on the wall of the carriage, and roared: "Lao Tzu is also the king of Lanling, Gao Changgong!" β
With that, ignoring the two men who were stunned, he lifted the curtain and shouted to the groom, "Stop!" β
"Phewβ"
The carriage stopped, Gu Zimo got out of the carriage, settled the fare, glared at them coldly, and scolded in a low voice.
Wrapping the messy clothes tightly, and picking the green silk to the neck, touching the kiss marks and tooth marks on the neck, Gu Zimo had a gentle smile on his still gloomy face.
Thinking of last night's lingering, his mood instantly stirred.
After admiring that man for so many years, the raw rice was finally cooked into rice.
Half a day ago, a letter came from home, saying that the Gao family had sent someone to the door, and it seemed that the family matter was going to be settled.
Knowing this good news, he has always attached the most importance to grooming, but he didn't care about delaying the time to tidy up, so he rushed back all the way back in disheveled clothes.
When he stepped into the gate of the Gu family, Gu Zimo was almost sweating.
Inside the house, Gu's mother was talking to someone, and her words were respectful, thinking that the person who came was noble.
Gu Zimo followed his mother's line of sight, and on the seat, there was a strange middle-aged man.
He glanced around the house a little eagerly, but he didn't see Gao Xiaolin, and he couldn't help but feel lost: "Mother, is he the person sent by the Gao family?" β
Why is this middle-aged old man? He also thought that Gao Xiaolin would come over in person......
Gu's mother heard Gu Zimo's voice, her face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly walked to Gu Zimo and dragged him to the middle-aged man: "Zimo, you are back, this is the manager sent by the Gao family, and I want to discuss marriage with you." β
The surname Gao is the surname of the country, and Gao Xiaolin in his impression, his speech and demeanor are all noble, and he wants to be born in a noble.
Gu Zimo stood there, his face was calm, but his heart was already in chaos.
Things weren't what he expected.
He thought that Gao Xiaolin would come in person, but now, ......
After the chief steward sent by the Gao family looked Gu Zimo up and down, he shook his head, got up from his seat, walked in front of Gu Zimo, and waved very respectfully, "In Xia Gaowen, I salute my son." I don't know Gu Gongzi, can you hand over your token to go back to your life in the next place? β
Gu Zimo was slightly stunned, "Token? β
"The hairpin on your head will do." Seeing that Gu Zimo was puzzled, the chief manager hurriedly explained.
Gu Zimo's background is not noble, just ordinary people, up and down, only this hosta has been with him for the longest time, but it is just an ordinary white hosta, which is not worth a few dollars.
"Give." Raised his hand to pull out the hosta and handed it to the chief manager, as long as he could be with Gao Xiaolin, let alone a hosta, even if Gao Xiaolin asked him to go with the army, he was also willing.
After the chief manager took the hosta, he handed the brocade box prepared in advance to Gu Zimo, and bowed respectfully, "This is the token that my master asked me to hand over to you, if you figure it out, please bring the token to the Shanshui Garden, my master will be there in the near future to wait for you, then, I will leave first." β
ββ¦β¦β
The words of the manager, not only did Gu Zimo be confused, but Gu's mother and Gu's father were confused.
Isn't it a marriage negotiation?
Why is it that you are about to leave after exchanging tokens?
"Please stay ......"
Gu Zimo hurriedly caught up and stopped in front of the manager: "You left like this?" High ......"
Before he finished speaking, the manager interrupted him with a smile: "What my master means, Fang Cai has already made it very clear to my son, if my son has any objections, you can go to the Shanshui Garden to discuss with my master in person." β
After the words fell, the manager arched his hand and strode away from the Gu family.
Gu Zimo was holding a brocade box with a special texture, and Gao Xiaolin's face couldn't help but flash in his mind, and his heart warmed.
With a smile, he couldn't wait to open the brocade box, but the moment he opened the brocade box, the smile on the corner of his mouth stiffened, and he stared at the danqing in the brocade box with wide eyes.
Isn't this the one he gave Gao Xiaolin back then?
Now Gao Xiaolin asked the manager to return it to him, what does this mean?
Closing the brocade box, he wanted to calm down and tell himself that he was too careful.
He and Gao Xiaolin were still warm last night, it shouldn't be like this......
There must be some misunderstanding.
After deciding this, Gu Zimo took the brocade box and was about to go out.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, Gu's mother hurriedly chased after her, and asked worriedly, "Zimo, where are you going?" β
"Shanshui Courtyard."
"Can't you go again tomorrow? It's going to get dark......"
"I can't."
Gu Zimo is the only heir in the family, Gu's mother has always loved him, and she has nothing to say to him, at this moment Gu Zimo's tone is firm, Gu's mother no longer hinders, just advised: "It's dark and the road is slippery, you pay more attention to safety when riding a horse......"
"Got it."
When the words fell, Gu Zimo left the house without looking back.
It was already an hour later when I hurried all the way to the Shanshui Garden.
I don't know if the landscape garden has been so brilliant for twelve hours, or if I know that he is coming to specially arrange, the dozen or so lanterns at the door will shine brightly on this dark cold night.
He has always admired Gao Xiaolin's taste, and it can be said that he can convince him of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Gao Xiaolin is one of the few and only ones.
The manager heard the movement, and hurriedly walked out to greet him, and he was not surprised to see him, and said with a particularly calm expression: "Zimo Gongzi, are you here?" β
Compared with calling him Gu Gongzi rigidly in the Gu family, Zimo Gongzi at this moment shortened the distance between the two a lot in an instant.
Gu Zimo's fingers holding the brocade box tightened a little, "Is your master inside?!" β
The chief manager saw the brocade box in Gu Zimo's hand, shook it respectfully, and said, "Yes, he is inside." Zimo Gongzi, please come with me. β
After the manager finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to Gu Zimo, and walked in front with a respectful bow, leading the way for Gu Zimo.
Gu Zimo followed closely behind the chief manager, and from time to time he arrived at the bottom of a high platform in the courtyard.
The chief manager stopped, pointed to the high platform, and said to Gu Zimo: "My master is on the moon platform. The words fell, and without waiting for Gu Zimo's words, the manager had quietly retreated.
Gu Zimo stepped on the stone steps and climbed the moon-watching platform, there was no moonlight tonight, but the brilliant lights in this landscape garden made this moon-watching platform shrouded in a layer of brilliant brilliance, as if the moonlight was sprinkled down.
And the one standing in the corner of the moon platform, the fluttering figure in white clothes, the black green silk dancing in the wind like a waterfall, just a back, but Gu Zimo's eyes lit up.
The white figure stood quietly on the moon platform, holding a battle report in his hand, and he was so engaged in reading it that he didn't notice that Gu Zimo was approaching step by step.
When he saw the last line of the battle report, his eyes were suddenly covered by a pair of slightly cool hands.
Immediately afterwards, the man buried his head in his green silk and rubbed it as if attached.
He has always been vigilant, and only in his own private sphere will he relax like this.
If you are in the barracks, if you dare to post it so suddenly, I am afraid that you will already be in a different place.
And the person who suddenly came over, with a unique aura on his body, made him instantly recognize his identity.
Only then did he restrain his killing intent and did not remove those arms on the spot.
"Xiaolin, why do you want to give me back the Danqing I gave you? What do you mean by that? Didn't we make a private decision last night? β
Suddenly there was a low question behind him, not so much a question as a murmur between lovers, because his voice was very gentle, and his tone did not have the slightest resentment.
And although Gu Zimo's voice was small, he still heard the word Xiaolin clearly.
Almost rudely, he tore the hands that covered his eyes away from his eyes, and turned around indifferently.
His eyes swept over him like ice.
Gu Zimo was still immersed in the tenderness between lovers, and the moment the man turned around to reveal his beautiful face, he was stunned......
"Who are you? Why are you in Hyorin's other house?! β
Looking at Gu Zimo's eyes that were still dazed, the man's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and his sexy thin lips opened and closed, but he deliberately slowed down his speech and pronounced his name: "Tall, long, and respectful." β
