Chapter 189: Before the Great Feast
Gu Lingge asked Qing Jingyao to check Concubine Yuan, not because she couldn't find out, but simply wanted to find something for Qing Jingyao to do. Although Qing Jingyao is already a heroine among women, Gu Lingge really can't stand her recent resentful appearance.
"Mother, are we going?" Li Xia looked at Gu Lingge's bored appearance, and said as if he had an idea. Gu Lingge leaned on the couch and showed no signs of moving, he didn't even want to move, and chuckled, "No hurry, no hurry." It's just that the speed of the emperor is really fast enough, is it really a relationship that has been alone for too long? ”
Li Xia looked at Gu Lingge's leisurely appearance, and the stone in her heart also fell to the ground, and responded with a smile: "It's a shame that the emperor is not here, if she hears Niang Niang say this about her, she will have to make trouble." "Qing Jingyao's temperament is delicate but not rude, which is deeply understood by everyone in Fenglan Palace, so joking with her will not really make people feel guilty.
It's just that Lixia didn't die or not, and it happened to hit Qing Jingyao's muzzle. As soon as she finished speaking, Qing Jingyao walked in with Shihua, with an angry look on her face. The moment Li Xia saw Qing Jingyao, her heart sank, and she felt that something bad had happened.
"Sister-in-law, I don't believe in that idiot of Chu Zhaonan anymore." Gu Lingge's first reaction when he heard this sentence was surprise. Although she hadn't seen these two people much, she absolutely believed what Chu Zhaonan told her. The people of Liulizhuang have a bad thing about admitting death, saying yes, and never regretting it.
Gu Lingge has not received any news from Chu Zhaonan during this time, and no one has it. So she didn't know anything about what was going on. Originally, she thought that Chu Zhaonan was such a safe person over there, and she didn't have to worry about anything, but now it seems that something unexpected has happened.
Qing Jingyao took a small letterbox and gave it to Gu Lingge, her face was hard to see. Gu Lingge looked at it, it was not Chu Zhaonan's handwriting on the creed, and there was only one sentence of "hello" written on it, which made people scratch their heads. The content of the letter is not the most important thing, the handwriting is important. It's a hidden book. Gu Lingge hadn't seen this font for many years, and he almost couldn't pronounce it.
When she was a child, Gu Huai gave her lessons, and in addition to the necessary literacy and reading, he would also mention some folk knowledge to her. Hidden script is a communication script often used in southern Xinjiang and Mufu, and basically only people from their own tribe can distinguish it.
When Qing Haoxuan was still in southern Xinjiang, he practiced the autonomy of the admiral. Every four years, the imperial court selects and assesses an official of the fourth grade and above to go to southern Xinjiang to manage with Mufu, and all customs and customary laws related to southern Xinjiang are managed by Mufu, and the jurisdiction of officials is limited to administrative and lawsuits.
No one knows how the hidden book came about, only that someone compiled a set of hidden books a long time ago, and it has become an unannounced secret after learning from generation to generation. But the only thing is that the hidden book is not passed on to the outside, and the Han family has never been allowed to learn, let alone be proficient.
Even Gu Huai knew that he had only seen a few pages in the hidden book. When Gu Huai was doing business when he was young, he inevitably greeted people from all over the world, so he knew a little bit about everything. When he told Gu Lingge, Gu Lingge still didn't believe it. But because Gu Huai himself didn't learn much, what he could teach Gu Lingge was really limited. These two words are still the most basic, so she knows.
"Does Yaoyao know what these two words mean?" Gu Lingge didn't want to say right away that he knew that it would attract Qing Jingyao's unnecessary interest, and Gu Lingge didn't want to answer a series of questions that might be there later. These two words give people the feeling that they are written by girls, not to mention the strong smell of Yuanluohua on the letterhead, for fear that they don't know that the person who wrote the letter is a person from southern Xinjiang.
"Shiye knows, but Shiye and Zhaonan went to southern Xinjiang together. No one around me knew what it was, and they didn't even wonder if it was a word. "Although the name of the hidden book is hidden book, it is true that it is not easy to write, and it is also true that it is difficult to recognize. Gu Lingge looked at the shallow sketch at the end, even if he didn't know the hidden book, he would indeed still think it was a girl's handwriting.
"Since I don't know what is written, why are you so angry." Gu Lingge guessed it, but he still wanted to wait for Qing Jingyao to say it. The name Ten Nights, Gu Lingge has never heard Qing Jingyao say it, but now is not the time to mention it.
"That's because, because, no man can write on paper with such a strong smell of flowers." Gu Lingge seemed to tremble a little when she heard her voice, and when she raised her eyes to look at Qing Jingyao, she found that her eyes were already red, and she was a little distressed for a while. "Imperial sister-in-law, look at the strength of this edge, how to look at it as a woman, I know." There was no confidence in the tone of her speech, and she was cowering, no longer domineering and indifferent when she couldn't open the door.
Gu Lingge was speechless for a while, gently squeezed her hand, and said, "It shouldn't be, you also know what your man is like, he hasn't been like this when he has gone out so many times, and he definitely won't be this time." She really won't comfort people, looking at Qing Jingyao's golden beans jumping out as if she didn't want money, Gu Lingge didn't know what to say except for sighing.
"Does the imperial sister-in-law know what is written on this?" Qing Jingyao sobbed and sat down beside Gu Lingge, and just after asking, she changed her words, "Forget it, it's okay if you don't know, anyway, I will let Chu Zhaonan drink a pot." Her eyes flashed with brilliance, but in Gu Lingge's eyes, it was ridiculous.
I believe it, but I am still uncertain and want to make sure again. It's comforting.
"Oh yes, I asked Shihua to bring some tonic medicine today, and you'll see if it works later. Keep it together, make up for it more, make up for it better, and ...... it in the future" After Qing Jingyao finished speaking, her eyes glanced at Gu Lingge's flat lower abdomen. Gu Lingge was stunned, and couldn't help laughing. If she really could, maybe she would have a shy expression now, but she couldn't, so she could only smile a little helplessly.
"Then I'll go first, I'm going to go back and think about how to do it." Qing Jingyao's eyes rolled and looked at Gu Lingge. With cunning and cleverness in his smile, Gu Lingge shook his head and asked Lixia to send people to the palace gate.
"Mu Yi." Gu Lingge stood up from the soft couch, pulled the folds of his skirt, and whispered to the void. Mu Yi stood in front of her, his head lowered slightly, and after a while, he raised it again, looking at Gu Lingge with burning eyes. He vaguely knew in his heart that something was going to happen, so he quietly waited for Gu Lingge's next words.
"Come over with Yun Fan in the evening, I have something to say." The corners of Gu Lingge's mouth twitched, and in the end he was still a little helpless. Something flashed in Mu Yi's eyes, and he withdrew after answering softly.
It was almost time for lunch, and today Gu Lingge's appetite was much better than before, and he ate a full bowl of food, which made Lixia feel very comforted. I even had some extravagance in my heart that Gu Lingge could slowly get better, but I also knew that it was impossible, so I raised my eyebrows and bowed my head speechlessly. After lunch, Gu Lingge stood in the courtyard and asked Lixia to go to Xuanhuyue to come over.
Lixia also moved quickly, and it didn't take long for Hu Yue to stand behind her, looking at Gu Lingge's thin figure, and coughing lightly. He still can't learn from those Confucian scholars, looking at the silhouettes of beauties, he can write poems that will last for centuries in the next second. He tried very hard not to make the atmosphere more rigid, so he could only say it.
"Today is a quick day, it seems to have been done." Gu Lingge looked at Huyue as if he was looking strange. In the past, if Hu Yue wanted to make any medicine, it would definitely be postponed, and then Gu Lingge would ask people to urge him over and over again, and in the end, Hu Yue felt that it was almost enough, so he would give the medicine to Gu Lingge. That's why now Gu Lingge is so surprised, Huyue is going to become not like Huyue.
"What nonsense." Hu Yue looked impatient, and she didn't speak with any anger, "The day after tomorrow is a big feast, I have to kill me if I drag you again." "In the past, it was because Gu Lingge was carrying around, so it didn't matter how he dragged it, but this time it was Gu Lingge's own needs, and he couldn't drag it anymore.
"Yo, the deputy chief of the imperial medical superintendent is really self-aware." Gu Lingge walked in front of Hu Yue and smiled lightly, today's smile still looks like it can make people feel happy. It's just that in the eyes of Hu Yue, it's uncomfortable. The more she laughed, the more uncomfortable he became, as if a big rock was pressing down on it and couldn't get out.
"What are you going to do after that?" It is no problem for a family business as big as Liulizhuang to raise a Gu Lingge, and the Yun family and the Mu family also want Gu Lingge to live with them, but Huyue knows that it is impossible for this person to die in this capital.
He knew that Gu Lingge would not be willing to be trapped in the imperial city, listening to the news of that person, it was as pale as the snow in the palace year by year, and it was mottled little by little like the vermilion paint on the palace wall. She has been trapped in Changling and the palace for so many years, and it can be said that the mission has not been completed before, but after that, there is absolutely no reason to stay. This man is not a wind ghost who can't be caught, but like the wind, he doesn't want to stay.
"I don't have any plans, let's go south, I don't think I've really been to the south yet. Wherever it is dark, there is rest. "Gu Lingge didn't plan it, because it wasn't necessary. In the past, planning these would make her breathless, but after the day after tomorrow, these plans would be easily broken, she just needed to know the direction, and leave the rest to her horse and her own heart.
"It should be good to think about it, there is a warm climate, delicate flowers, and colorful scenery......" Gu Lingge walked to the cloister and sat down, closed his eyes slightly and thought to himself, and finally added lightly, "There is still freedom." ”
Hu Yue didn't say anything in the end, or didn't know what else to say, he handed the medicine to Gu Lingge, and then turned around and left. Gu Lingge looked at his back, smiling desolately, and his eyes were calm.
No one knew what Gu Lingge and Yun Fanmu Yi Chang'an said that night, and even Lixia was sent to guard the door.
Everyone knew that the storm was coming, and everyone understood, but seeing Gu Lingge's flat face, everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts.
