Chapter Ninety-Nine: Running Away from Home
On February 26 of the first year of Jianwen, the spring breeze thawed.
The days that calm down always pass very quickly, if you ignore the invisible undercurrents, in fact, Gu Huai's days are not bad... The perfume of Liuzuifang is selling better and better, the carriage and horse shop has begun to open up business routes to the south, and after the new play of Goolan has set off a trend, the secret spy department is also on the right track, at least in the case of a clear division of labor, the control of Beiping has reached a level.
But there are still accidents, for example, the line about Jinyiwei found by Qingming was inexplicably broken, the peddler who made a windfall suddenly died in front of his house one morning, and the small building found by the spies of the secret spy department was also empty.
Actually, it's not too surprising when you think about it... A behemoth like Jinyiwei has given a little flaw, but the current secret spy department can't fully grasp it, which is also a very reasonable thing.
Therefore, before setting off for Jinling, the idea of digging out the Jinyi guards lurking in Beiping and then touching the melons along the vine was in vain.
But it seems to be trickier right now...
In the backyard of the shop, Gu Huai took out a bowl of egg fried rice from the kitchen and put it on the table, looking at the tsundere Lori opposite: "Why don't you look happy?" ”
Tsundere Lori picked up the spoon and ate two bites, as if she had no appetite for her favorite egg fried rice, and said quietly: "Sister asked me to go back to Jinling..."
Gu Huai was slightly stunned, and then reacted: "The will of the imperial court has come down?" ”
"Well, my brother-in-law went back to Beijing to pay tribute to the excerpt of the filial piety tomb, and the court is ready to play," Tsundere Lori cried with a sad face, "My sister has to let me go back to Jinling together." ”
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"It's not a good thing!" Tsundere Lori raised her little face and puffed out her mouth, "I don't want to go back!" My sister said it, and the letter sent by my eldest brother said that as soon as I went back, he would lock me up and never allow me to go out of the gate again! He also said that he would marry me off! ”
Gu Huai didn't open which pot to mention: "What is it to marry that Zhang?" The son of the political envoy of Peiping? ”
"Not really! The eldest brother said in the letter that he wanted to find me a new home," her little tiger teeth gritted the little spoon and creaked: "Hmph, I don't want to let them be at their mercy!" Who knows who the big brother wants me to marry when the time comes? When the hijab is revealed, whether it is tall or short, fat or thin depends on luck, what if it is an old man? I don't want it! ”
A bad premonition rose in Gu Huai's heart: "The county lord is here to find you..."
"I don't care, you have to find a way," Tsundere Lori's face was full of pleading and threat, and the devil knows how she showed both emotions at the same time: "I don't want to marry, and I don't want to go back to Jinling!" ”
Gu Huai ate and spoke: "But below... Where can I interfere with Wei Guogong's decision? Besides, the eldest brother is like a father..."
"I don't want to get married, and I don't want to cause trouble for my sister and brother-in-law, if I continue to be in Beiping, it will be difficult for my eldest brother to do it..."
Probably the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, she couldn't help wiping her tears, even the spoon fell into the egg fried rice, Gu Huai sighed: "Since the princess has made a decision, the county lord is afraid that he will still have to go back to Jinling, the county lord thinks well, now that the court is so suspicious, if the county lord is still in Beiping, it will inevitably make the Zhongshan Palace's position a little embarrassing..."
Tsundere Lori suddenly blinked her eyes wide, and her long eyelashes broke her tears: "Are you going to Jinling too?" ”
"I will go south with the prince in the next place."
"Listen to my sister, are you from Yangzhou?"
"Yes, it's not too far from Jinling, and I plan to take time to go back to the ancestral house after entering Beijing with the prince... The county lord asked what this was for? ”
Tsundere Lori's eyes lit up: "That... Shall I follow you back to Jinling and then go to your house to live? Anyway, as long as I enter Jinling City, my brother-in-law will definitely not care about me, as long as I don't enter the Zhongshan Palace, I can go to your house to live! ”
The more she thought about it, the happier she became: "When the time comes, if I feel homesick, I can quietly go into the city to take a look at the third brother, and the third brother won't be too worried... And when the time comes, I can quietly go back to Peking with you..."
Gu Huai couldn't cry or laugh, thinking to himself that you are really addicted to running away from home? Besides, it's not good for you to harm anyone, if you really let Zhu Di know your plan, how will you be? The weird uncle who abducted Lori?
He shook his head desperately: "I can't help it, if I let the prince know..."
Tsundere Lori pursed her mouth: "Okay!" People have also helped you a lot, why are you so stingy? It's just to go to your house for a while, and no one is afraid of what you're afraid of. ”
The already extremely beautiful tsundere Lori used a cute offensive to not many people to parry, Gu Huai was grabbed by the arm and shook for a long time, neither daring to agree, nor daring to refuse, so he could only smile bitterly.
In the end, it really couldn't drag on, seeing that Tsundere Lori's big eyes were foggy again, Gu Huai reluctantly nodded: "That... Well, when I get to Jinling, the county lord will go to live at my house, but I'll say okay first, the conditions may not be too good... At that time, the family road was in the middle, and there was a disaster, and the land was sold and the life could not go on, so I thought about going north to join my friends, the ancestral house has not been back for many years, and I don't know what it looks like now, and the county lord is afraid that he will have to suffer some grievances for a long time. ”
"Are people so squeamish?" Tsundere Lori put away her tears and rolled her eyes, "After I went to your house, I will eat what you eat, where do you sleep with me..."
Halfway through speaking, I felt that something was wrong, and my face slowly turned red, but in the end, I glared at Gu Huai fiercely.
It's fierce.
In fact, Gu Huaizhen doesn't want to have anything to do with this matter... Think about it, the little county lord of Zhongshan Wangfu, the wife and sister of King Yan, went back to Jinling and didn't go back to his own house to live in the house of a divorced son-in-law, what are you like? Zhu Di may not say anything yet, what will the princess think if she finds out? And the third brother who wants to marry her?
But Gu Huai thought about it, this time I went to Jinling and came back, I am afraid that the battle of Jingyan will start, and then the Zhongshan Mansion will not be able to find its own trouble, so it is better to help Tsundere Lori.
If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have a relationship with Yanwangfu, and even if Pu Hong was solved, there would be a lot of trouble, not to mention Qingfeng Lou's help, as well as advertising perfumes...
Besides, such a beautiful and cute Lori begged herself with tears in her eyes... It's really ruthless to be a wicked person.
Thinking of this, Gu Huai advised: "The prince must bring guards when he goes south, and when he arrives in Jinling, there will be people from the court to greet him, and there are many people, and the county lord said that he wants to go back to the Zhongshan palace in advance, the prince is reasonable, and he must not want the county lord to be embarrassed, and he will agree, and the county lord will wait for me outside the city at that time. ”
Tsundere Lori nodded again and again: "Okay, I listen to you." ”
She happily stretched out her little finger, which was white and transparent in the sun: "Pull the hook!" If you don't come... I'll ignore you again! ”
Gu Huai couldn't cry or laugh.
