Chapter 12: Do You Still Love Him?
The Lingering Garden has only been open for a short time, and literati and artists like to come to this place, and the scenery is really good.
In fact, the folk customs of Daqi are open, and women can also go to the Lingering Garden to have fun in an ornamental garden, but Chaoli has never been here in her previous life, and she always pays attention to whether her behavior will be inappropriate, and she is worried about discrediting Gu Hanzhang, so she didn't come.
When you enter the Lingering Garden, you can hear the sound of silk bamboo, through the layers of green bamboo, and a wide water pavilion is displayed in front of you.
There are tables, chairs, refreshments on the water pavilion, and there are women's music on the shore, a stringed zither and two bamboo flutes, which are quiet and beautiful.
"This place is quite an elegant place." Towards the departure port.
Song Lingxin chuckled, "Yes, I asked you to come over a few days ago, you said that you want to get married with peace of mind, and today you want to have a good time following the opportunity." ”
"You're absolutely right." Chao Li nodded.
She stayed at home for a whole month before she got married, also to avoid leaving Gu Hanzhang behind.
Now, what's the deal?
Gu Hanzhang can throw her halfway to meet her sweetheart, and she can also travel with her friends.
"Ah Li, I have booked a private room, and the window can see the flower forest behind, and I heard that the plum blossoms are blooming beautifully. How about enjoying the plum blossoms in a private room without anyone disturbing you? Song Lingxin hurriedly said.
Chao Li bowed slightly, "Very wonderful." ”
The two walked side by side to the south corner, and just as they walked to the corner of the corridor, Gu Hanzhang and Cheng Feng came from the other side of the corridor one after the other.
Gu Hanzhang raised his eyes, his pupils shrank slightly, as if he didn't expect to see Chaoli in the Lingering Garden, even though Chaoli was followed by her best friend Song Lingxin, but this move should not have appeared on her.
Towards her, he has never been so disproportionate.
"What's wrong, Hanzhang?" Cheng Feng asked in a low voice.
Because Cheng Feng was walking behind Gu Hanzhang, he didn't see Chao Li and Song Lingxin walking in front of them, turning into another corridor, which happened to be blocked by the rockery in the middle.
"Nothing." Gu Hanzhang replied.
said so, but Gu Hanzhang did not leave, his eyes still stayed in front.
It's strange, it's just a back, I haven't been very kind to see her before, I've never given her a good face, and it's only been a day since I got married.
Now, he recognized Chaoli at a glance.
There were a lot of people traveling here, and some women had already recognized Gu Hanzhang, and even whispered.
"Didn't Fang just say that the carriage of the prince went outside the city? Why is he himself in the garden? ”
The other replied in a low voice, "It is not unreasonable for the prince to go outside the city first, and then come to the Lingering Garden, so that we can see it." ”
"However, the prince didn't get married yesterday, and he went out to play with Cheng Gongzi today. Maybe the wife didn't like him, then we might still have a chance. ”
The discussion continued, even if it was lowered, it couldn't hide Gu Hanzhang and Cheng Feng, two people with martial arts.
However, Gu Hanzhang didn't care, but stared at the corridor in front of him.
The Lingering Garden is very large, the promenade is more than 50 meters, and it takes a little time to walk.
Chengfeng folding fan snapped open, and looked at several women with a romantic but not obscene smile on his face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Hanzhang just got married yesterday, and his wife is still a great beauty, it is the time of deep affection, so don't waste your efforts. Look at me, although I am not as handsome as Hanzhang, I am also a personable son, and my status is not low. ”
With Chengfeng enlivening the atmosphere in the middle, the ladies also laughed and chatted with him.
"Let's go first."
Gu Hanzhang raised his feet and walked in the direction where he had left with Song Lingxin just now.
Cheng Feng wanted to say something, but he was entangled by four or five women and couldn't get out, and he was a self-proclaimed amorous son, so he couldn't do anything to leave the woman.
Chaoli didn't know that Gu Hanzhang was following them, and soon went to their private room with Song Lingxin, and Tsing Yi and Song Lingxin's maid Purple Kite were guarding the door of the private room.
Gu Hanzhang turned around and dodged, landed behind the private room, and hid his body in a cage of bamboo next to the water pavilion.
"Ah Li, is Gu Hanzhang very bad to you?" Song Lingxin immediately asked what was in his heart.
If Gu Hanzhang was in front of her, she wouldn't dare to call him by his name, after all, that person was really cold.
But now that people aren't there anyway, she's not afraid at all.
Gu Hanzhang stood in place, looking at Chao Li through the mottled bamboo knots.
"Ling Xin, I forced it, don't worry about me, I've already let it go. At first, I insisted on marrying him, but I ignored the fact that he didn't like me at all. When Xiangshan first met, I fell in love with him at first sight, and all parties inquired and finally learned his identity. Later, I saw you again at the Bridge of Sighs, knowing that I couldn't do it, I held my heart in front of him and let him trample on it. Everything that got married yesterday woke me up because of the slap in the face, and I won't do stupid things in the future. Now I'm more worried about you, you're going to get married, and I hope you can be happy in the future. Chao Li's voice was soft.
If she remembers correctly, Song Lingxin will discuss marriage in a month and marry in half a year.
If Song Lingxin marries well, it's nothing, the key is that the person she married is not a good thing, and it will cost her two lives.
In any case, let her see her future husband for what he really is.
Song Lingxin didn't know that Chao Li was worried about her, and she only felt distressed to hear it at this time, and she didn't even dare to think about what kind of pain Chao Li had experienced to say this.
"You said you let it go, so do you still love him now?"
Gu Hanzhang breathed lightly, his Adam's apple moved, and he didn't know why it was like this today.
Today's Gu Hanzhang was a little out of shape, first he saw Chaoli beating Hongyu in Shaohuayuan and didn't pursue it, then he helped her when he got off the carriage at the palace gate, and now he will make eavesdropping behaviors that a gentleman can't do, none of which seem to be things he did.
But now, that's what he did.
"It doesn't matter whether you love or not, he is not my lover. Ling Xin, I will reconcile with him in a year, don't make a noise about this matter, if someone hears it, I am afraid that there will be trouble. Chaoli replied.
In the face of Song Lingxin's concern for being so concerned, she has nothing to hide, it is a fact.
Song Lingxin's eyes widened, she didn't expect Chaoli to be so bold at all, she almost wanted to wake her up directly.
How can these words be easily spoken?
"Ah Li, you're crazy! This is the marriage of the Queen Mother, if you propose to divorce, you will lose half your life! ”
Chao Li's eyes were full of determination, "What if you lose half your life?" I've made up my mind that you don't have to worry about me. After leaving, even if she paid her hair to be a sister-in-law, it was better than spending years in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and life was better than death. ”
Seeing this, Song Lingxin couldn't help crying.
At this moment, the cage of bamboo outside the window suddenly sounded a sparse sound, and a cage of bamboo was shaking.
"Who!"
