Chapter 20 Occasional Arrival at the Phoenix Pavilion

"When will you join the army?" she meant, following the soldiers to pacify the country and wait for this beautiful mountain and river.

Gu Mo lowered his head and played with a few weeds in his hand, "I will enter the barracks in a few days, and I will go to the frontier in half a year." Father said that a good man should fight in all directions and call him a brother with blood, I think...... It should be right. ”

"Then, are you willing to do it?" Regarding the thing of affection and affection, she still has little understanding, and there will always be stories of husband and wife getting along in the book. Xu is young, she just doesn't want the gentle emotions of each other, she likes to be vigorous and in full swing.

Gu Mo didn't answer, and Gu Qing didn't wait for an answer, so he was pulled away by Ah Huan, who rushed to look for him.

At night, she lay in bed, tossing and turning.

The bright moon in the dark night is still bright, look closely, there seems to be some mottled figure in the moon, Gu Qing supported his whole body with his hands and looked into the distance, is there really Chang'e in it? Chang'e followed Hou Yi or Wu Gang in the end? Can the two who really love each other stay together until they grow old?

After all, Gu Mo left the Gu Mansion a few days later, and before leaving, he was not as excited as Gu Ning, but there was a wisp of deep thought and heaviness on his face.

In front of the Gu Mansion, Liu Ye dragged his sick body to see him off, and there was always something to say when he came. When he was about to get on the horse, Gu Mo pulled Gu Qing to the side, his lips were slightly opened, and his palms were soaked with sweat drops.

Finally, he spoke, "Please help me keep an eye on her, even if it's a greeting, explain it to her on my behalf." ”

This was the first time he had used the word please in his speech, and Gu Qing enjoyed it very much, and nodded with a smile. It's just this part, and I don't know what will happen in the coming year.

Only billowing smoke and dust remained in the place, and the sound of clattering horses' hooves gradually faded away, Liu Ye didn't know what Gu Mo had just said to her, and only glanced at her lightly. In the past few days, Master Gu has been staying in Meiyuan, and she is also angry when she thinks about it, but she doesn't have the spirit to fight with Yu Niang, and her son and daughter are not around, so she has no thoughts.

Seeing that her complexion is much better today, and she has the confidence to speak and train people, Gu Qing didn't want to cause trouble with her, so she hurriedly returned to the Mei Courtyard after saying goodbye politely.

The annual Qixi Festival has arrived, Gu Qing was awakened by Ah Huan in a daze, and saw that she was holding a pink neon dress in her hand, this neon dress skirt is still the new clothes prepared by Yu Niang in advance, in order to let Gu Qing wear it on the day of Qixi Festival, and go out to show those sons and daughters.

In normal days, the daughters in those boudoirs are not out of the door, but today is Tanabata, and the only exception is that the ladies in the boudoir can come out to show their faces.

Yu Niang had long thought that someone could take Gu Qing home, and she had a lot of things on her mind.

Gu Qing's arms were open, still being sorted out by Ah Huan back and forth, she couldn't help shaking her head, there was a golden step in her bun, and her fingers always couldn't help but want to touch it, for fear that it would fall out.

Yu Niang will always stare at her, knowing that she is usually wild, and she has never cleaned up properly, and occasionally dresses up, it is inevitable that she is a little uncomfortable.

However, after a while of surviving, Gu Qing had already cleaned up.

In the bronze mirror, the vague people are a little unreal, but the delicate outline is unobstructed, and the pink clothes are even more white and tender. Yu Niang was very satisfied with her decoration, and looked at Gu Qing back and forth several times, and she couldn't hide the smile in her eyebrows.

Gu Qing felt like a doll, perfect under the pull of Yu Niang.

"Qing'er has grown up a lot, and my mother is afraid that she won't be able to keep you. Yu Niang felt it.

"How can it be, mother, even if Qing'er grows up, what will it be? She felt that her waist was a little tight, and secretly loosened the small movements, and Ah Huan kindly reminded behind her: "Miss, your waist is a little thick, and it looks good if you tie it tightly." ”

The hand hung down weakly.

When he was about to refute, Gu Qing felt that Ah Huan was not wrong.

"Alright, when night falls, you can go out. At that time, there would be many lanterns on the streets, and young women would make wishes in the attic for a good husband in the future. Of course, you too. ”

Gu Qingcai didn't want to follow a large group of women to stand in the attic stupidly, and then make a wish and pray for blessings in the night sky about the Cowherd and Vega, she has always disliked the things of following the trend.

That's right, it's important to be self-asserted.

Yu Niang has already married a wife, and this kind of festival has nothing to do with her at all, which means that Gu Qing can run out to have fun by herself, and it would be even better if she didn't count the slow Ah Huan behind her.

Still, that's not bad for now. Gu Qing sat in the sedan chair, and everywhere he passed, there was a lot of noise in his ears, there was a woman's chuckle covering her mouth, and a man's heroic heartiness. The corner of the curtain was lifted slightly, and the women on the street wore heavy makeup, and a heavy smell of rouge came to the nostrils.

They have come to the most prosperous street in the capital, with high-rise buildings on both sides, flying eaves and pavilions, and trance red lanterns like dazzling stars, which make people unable to take their eyes off them at a glance. Looking up again, there was a faint glint in the dark night sky, Gu Qing rubbed his eyes, and stared at it, it was a sky lantern, flickering all over the sky, especially beautiful.

Sure enough, on those towering attics, all the people looking at the railing were women, with a pious face, for fear that there would be distracting thoughts in their hearts that would ruin the marriage.

Gu Qing pursed her lips, she didn't believe this.

The sedan chair slowly crossed the moat, and the pedestrians on the bridge were crowded, rubbing shoulders and walking next to each other, all with smiles on their faces. Gu Qing told the palanquin man to stop, she lifted the curtain and looked, the sparkling water reflected the lights in the night sky, this day, the water, like one.

From a distance, a painting boat slowly swims in, and two bright red lanterns hang in the corner of the eaves, which are particularly dazzling in the deep night. The painting boat is pointed, a woman kneels on her knees and closes her eyes and plays the flute music, her plain white clothes line her extremely ordinary, but that face is like a flower blooming in the ordinary.

This kind of woman, even if she plays a little music for others in front of the painting boat, must be a woman in the beauty shop.

Beauty Square, in layman's terms, is a place to take in women who sell their art and do not sell themselves, they do not take advantage of it, they do not bully women, but some desperate women are willing to walk in for a living.

"That young lady is so beautiful. Ah Huan also noticed the painting boat, looked sideways, and said in admiration, "I don't know which rich boy can invite such a stunning beauty to play in the painting boat." ”

Gu Qing was also curious, so he looked at the woman's eyes and became more and more engaged.

The corner of the curtain of the painting boat was lifted, and a thin figure came out first, Gu Qing's eyes immediately widened, and then he also bent over and walked out in a white dress, he took a folding fan in his hand, shook off the folding fan with a "bang", and put one hand behind his back, looking up at the picturesque night sky.

If she remembered correctly, the skinny boy was called Wei Cai, who was like a snow-white dress, and she didn't know his name and surname, and she didn't know it, and she couldn't know it.

Actually, she knows.

The last time I said the word Xiangfu from Wei Cai's mouth, I had an answer in my heart. Looking at his body and appearance, he has an innate temperament in his gestures, she knows his name, but she just doesn't want to believe it.

Although she is bold, she has no tricks in the matter of love, and she does not have enough courage to follow Gu Ning's example and say what is in her heart out loud. He is the prime minister, calling for wind and rain in the court, under one person, above ten thousand. And she's just a yellow-haired girl raised in the boudoir and no one knows.

So, where do they intersect?

Gu Qing just stared at him quietly, separated from the water, thousands of miles away.

The moon bent and seemed to blush a little under the light. He suddenly lowered his head and stared at the woman playing the tune, his eyebrows did not ripple, but Gu Qing saw two words in his eyes, pity.

"Miss, that person, did we see it in the teahouse before?" Gu Qing's blazing gaze was too obvious, and he couldn't escape the eyes of his eldest sister Ah Huan.

The corners of Gu Qing's mouth curled, "I've seen it." ”

Since the first acquaintance of the teahouse, I have never forgotten it after a glance.

"So, miss, would you like to go up and say hello?"

Say hello? She hesitated a little, thought about it for a long time or gave up, the two matching white clothes on the painting boat were so compatible, she really didn't want to be a bad guy who disturbed the quiet good time of others.

"Let's go. ”

The faint two words were gone, and the sedan chair driver got up in response, but the corner of the curtain opened by Gu Qing's hand was never lowered, and she watched the people on the painting boat from the side, to the back, until they were covered by the bridge.

Wei Cai noticed her, in the small apricot-colored sedan chair, half of the head poked out of the curtain, and the sedan chair man didn't look like she was rented, it turned out that she was really a young lady from a big family.

The parade in the back became even more uninteresting, she was too lazy to get off the sedan chair and walk, but the silence in the sedan chair was about to isolate the noise outside, coupled with Gu Qing's joyful temperament, the sedan chair finally stopped at the mouth of the alley, and she walked side by side with Ah Huan in the midst of the crowd.

I always think of the painting boat, him and her...... Oops, Gu Qing shook his head, trying to shake off these pictures. Raising her eyes and looking around, a loft in the northwest that reaches into the sky makes her eyes shine, the eaves of each floor of the pavilion are neatly decorated, and the glazed gold tiles shine with a dazzling light, like a heavenly palace.

"What is that place?" she asked, pointing to the attic.

Ah Huan looked in the direction of her finger, thought for a long time and said uncertainly: "It should be the Phoenix Pavilion, I just heard others talk about it, it seems that it was built by the emperor's order." ”

She saw that there were no chaotic figures in the attic, thinking that there were not many people, she was in a little depressed mood at the moment, and it was not impossible to go inside for a walk.

"It's golden and brilliant inside, I think there is a good scene, you can go in with me and take a look. ”
