Chapter 31: A Delicate Relationship
Gu Mingzhu went to the hunting ground on the outskirts of Beijing with Gu Xiurong and the others, followed by Xu Jue's escort September.
The royal hunting grounds are vast, surrounded by mountains and greenery as far as the eye can see.
A total of more than a dozen people came to the hunt, and there were indeed many female dependents.
Gu Mingzhu followed Gu Xiurong's side, stepped into the horse, and came from a distance alone.
"Xu Shizi, Vice General Gu." The boy was in high spirits, apparently just warming up.
Xu Jue said lightly: "There was a delay on the road, let's go." ”
The four of them walked side by side, and the man asked, "This girl looks at her eyes, I don't know which family's daughter she is?" ”
"Back to the little prince, she is my sister."
"Oh?" The young man turned around and smiled: "It turned out to be the sister of Vice General Gu." ”
Gu Mingzhu bowed: "I've seen the little prince." ”
"Born with a beautiful appearance, no wonder Yun Zhao treats her as a baby."
The hidden amusement in his tone was too obvious.
Gu Xiurong and Gu Mingzhu both looked stunned.
Gu Xiurong was about to speak, Xu Jue took out a small packet of oiled paper from his arms, handed it to Gu Mingzhu, and said, "Bring some of your favorite snacks from the palace and try the skills of the imperial chef." ”
Gu Mingzhu took the oil paper in front of everyone's eyes, and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother of the Xu family." ”
Xu Jue smiled, turned his head, and said to the man: "Ion Yu, what did you just say?" ”
He called out his name, looking unkind, and pulled down his face when he pulled his face: "No...... Didn't say anything......"
Xu Jue stared at him with a smile: "Are you scolding me behind my ear?" ”
Ion Yu's face changed, and he suddenly made a bitter face: "It's my cheap mouth, I said the wrong thing." ”
He turned around and bowed his head to Gu Mingzhu and said, "Miss Gu, please forgive me for my offending words." ”
Gu Mingzhu smiled gently and said: "The little prince doesn't know that Yun Zhao and I have broken off the marriage contract, it's excusable, it's just a gentleman's demeanor, is the little prince idle for a long time, and even his knowledge has been wasted." ”
Ion Yu secretly hated his back molars, but he could only laugh with them.
Xu Jue didn't bother to look at him anymore, and said, "Let's go." ”
After walking away, Gu Xiurong lowered his face and said, "It's really a dog's eyes that look down on people." ”
Gu Mingzhu was accustomed to saying: "This world is like this, he has a good father." ”
Gu Xiurong's eyes were gloomy and he didn't say a word.
Gu Mingzhu looked at his demeanor and said, "Although he has a good father, he still apologized obediently." ”
Gu Xiurong said: "It's not because of Ah Jue. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but be curious, logically speaking, Xu Jue has been stationed at the border all the year round, and he shouldn't have much to do with these children of the family, but why is Iyu so afraid of Xu Jue?
She asked.
Jiu Jiu, who had been following behind him, said: "The girl doesn't know anything, not only Iyu, but the children of this family in Jiangling City are not afraid of the son." ”
"Oh?" Gu Mingzhu turned her head curiously: "Why?" ”
Seeing that she was full of interest, September drove forward and said with a smile: "The prince has a big temper, and he will beat anyone who provokes him, especially the year before last, he stayed in Beijing for two months, and beat several sons of the family to a miserable point." ”
Tempered?
Gu Mingzhu glanced at Xu Jue suspiciously.
He has a calm temperament and a good bearing, why do you have a big temper?
Gu Mingzhu said again: "The people who fight are all royal relatives and nobles, and no one in the palace cares?" ”
"Tube? How? The Xu family is the only seedling, if it is really broken because of these people, the old prince will not stop there, and he is a young man's quarrel, and he really makes trouble in front of the palace, and whoever loses will be embarrassed. ”
The four rode forward and soon reached the center of the paddock.
There are people on the field who are competing in the shooting.
The man in the field was dressed in purple, blindfolded with a black belt, and several swords were fired at the bull's-eye.
All three arrows hit.
"Good!" Someone in the audience immediately applauded: "It is worthy of Ah Zhao!" ”
Gu Xiurong frowned: "I didn't say that Yun Zhao also came this time to hunt Yunzhao." ”
He looked sideways at Gu Mingzhu, who was looking at the middle of the field, and said, "Otherwise, forget it?" ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "What's the matter, Jiangling said that it is not small, it is not big, sooner or later, we must see him, we can't avoid him all the time." I've been ready to accompany you to the hunting ground today. ”
"Brother Gu!" Someone beckoned to Gu Xiurong from afar.
Gu Xiurong was the same age as them, so it was not easy not to deal with them, so he took Gu Mingzhu to step forward with a few words.
Gu Xiurong was introduced by others and got to know everyone in the audience one by one.
Not far away, Xu Jue stood on a horse with September.
I watched it quietly for a while.
September said: "Shizi, when will you be able to catch up with the girl like Mune!" ”
Xu Jue looked at him sideways, September was one of the few people who knew what was on his mind.
September said: "At the beginning, the girl had a marriage contract, and the son of the world acted rightly, and if she didn't want to be a person who snatched love, forget it." Now that people are right under your nose, why don't you move at all? ”
Xu Jue was silent for a moment and said, "I'm afraid of scaring her." ”
"Scaring her? Shizi, don't wait until someone else reaches out before you are in a hurry. ”
"If she treats me as a brother......
"How do you know if you don't try? Chasing girls is shameless! "September is loud.
Xu Jue was silent in place, and he caught a glimpse of Yun Zhao striding in the direction where Gu Mingzhu was.
He raised an eyebrow imperceptibly and drove forward.
Gu Mingzhu looked at Yun Zhao who was striding over, but he couldn't see it, turned his head, Xu Jue had already arrived in front of her, and said to her: "They are going to hunt, I will take you around the enclosure." ”
The four of them all looked up at him, and then at Gu Mingzhu.
Xu Jue didn't realize it, and said to Gu Xiurong as if nothing happened: "I'll take it away if I'm Wanwan." ”
Gu Xiurong didn't think much about it, and felt that Yun Zhao's presence was inappropriate, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, Wanwan will be handed over to you." ”
Gu Mingzhu was really taken away by Xu Jue.
The dissolution of the marriage contract between Yun Zhao and the Gu family has spread in the past two days, and the specific reason is that there are different opinions, and no one dares to ask the parties, and now that Gu Xiurong and Yun Zhao are meeting, some people have a headache.
Soon the discerning men persuaded them to go their own way, and went out hunting.
Xu Jue and Gu Mingzhu rode a horse, she sat quietly on the horseback, the pink and white dress complemented today's hair accessories, the gentle and demure of her daughter's family, her eyes were shining, and she embellished the girl's agility.
It's strange, how can she be so good-looking?
Xu Jue thought secretly.
Gu Mingzhu's eyes circled around, smelled the fresh air, and said, "You said you came to hunt, why don't you go?" ”
Xu Jue said: "I just promised to come to the hunting ground, but I didn't say that I wanted to hunt, this is not far from Qinglong Temple, take you around?" ”
"It's fine."
The two rode horses and turned around, and half an hour later they arrived in front of the mountain temple.
Tie up the horse, step up the steps, and enter the main hall.
Originally, there was nothing to do, so Gu Mingzhu put on the pillar incense and knelt in the main hall to pray for blessings.
Xu Jue never believed in the words of ghosts and gods, but the bell in his ears was far away and loud, and there were pilgrims around, and there was silence in the noise, and he couldn't help but think of the way he met her in Licheng that night.
Suddenly there was a frightened sound of the people in front of the mountain gate.
Xu Jue looked back, and a group of officers and soldiers were rushing up on the steps, taking the lead and shouting: "Fence the temple, no one is allowed to run away!" ”
It's a person from Kyozhao Prefecture.
Xu Jue didn't move, since he had alarmed Jingzhao Mansion, it meant that the matter was not small.
The leader quickly stepped up the steps of the courtyard: "The rest of the people, I will search them carefully one by one, if I let them go, I will not be able to eat and walk around!" ”
