Chapter 23: Childe accompanies her to see each other
Gu Xiyan returned to Xiyuan, opened a few portraits and looked at them again and again, but his mind drifted away.
Chunhua and Qiushi are full of joy, missing a King of Qin, and there are so many excellent men for girls to choose from, which is really a blessing in misfortune.
"The slave maid thinks that Xu Sangongzi is the best-looking, and he is the best match for the girl." Chunhua also came up to take a look, and fell in love with Xu Yanqing at a glance.
Gu Xiyan smiled dumbly: "Why are you so superficial, just looking at your face?" ”
"Qiu Shi, do you say that Xu Sangongzi is the best match for the girl?" Chunhua looked at Qiu Shi and asked.
Qiu Shi has his own thoughts: "Xu Sangongzi is born good-looking, but he must also have a good character." The most important thing is that the girl likes it herself. The slave maid hopes that the girl can meet a husband who truly loves the girl, and her appearance is secondary. ”
Gu Xiyan thought deeply: "No matter how good the skin is, there will be a day when you will grow old." ”
She put the portrait aside, feeling that it was still silver that made her feel safe.
A few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhou Du sent someone to hand over a message to Gu Xiyan, the time to see each other was set for tomorrow, the location was Xiangguo Temple, and this time the object of the meeting was Dong Yong, the third son of Yongcheng Hou.
After Gu Xiyan received the news, the happiest people were Chunhua and Qiushi.
If they really look at the right eye, tomorrow that son may be their uncle, how can they not be happy?
The person concerned, Gu Xiyan, was very calm. She felt that she was just looking at each other, even if she fell in love with others, they might not like her, after all, she was embarrassed in the Hou Mansion.
Although she has Zhou Dui's support, she can't marry forcibly.
However, seeing the happy appearance of the two girls and Shen's mother, she couldn't bear to pour cold water on them.
The next day, Gu Xiyan got up early and was pulled by two girls to sit in front of the makeup mirror and dress up.
She has a beautiful face, and even if she doesn't wear makeup, it's hard to take your eyes off. This time, she deliberately put on light makeup, highlighting her soft facial features, and her beautiful eyes are like clear lake water, translucent and charming.
Even the two girls who were used to seeing her beauty, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but hold her breath when she saw her makeup and dressing up.
This is clearly a fairy descending to earth.
"Keep it today, Dong Gongzi can't take his eyes off when he sees the girl." Chunhua said, and specially helped Gu Xiyan choose a red dress.
Gu Xiyan shook his head and said, "Let's go to Xiangguo Temple, there's no need to dress too brightly, just dress normally." ”
It's to look at each other, and it's not to marry today, why do you have to dress like this?
Chunhua had no choice, so she finally picked out a plain light-colored dress and helped Gu Xiyan change into it.
Before going out, Liu Chaoyan happened to meet Gu Xiyan, who was about to go out, and immediately made sarcastic remarks: "You run out all day long, won't you have anything good outside?" It doesn't matter if you are ruined, don't affect the marriage of other sisters. ”
Several girls in the Liu family have reached the age of kissing, and Liu Junyan is also looking at each other. Gu Xiyan really wants to spread some scandal, but it will affect the entire Hou Mansion.
She looked at Gu Xiyan as a restless person, and she was likely to do something immoral.
Gu Xiyan didn't bother to pay attention to Liu Chaoyan, and planned to go out with Chunhua and Qiushi.
Liu Chaoyan looked at Gu Xiyan's back, and it was not pleasing to the eye when he looked horizontally and vertically.
Zhou Xing hasn't come to the Hou Mansion recently, and since the old lady's birthday banquet, Zhou Xing hasn't walked around the Hou Mansion, which makes her panic.
"Xiang Tao, you sent someone to inquire about the recent whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Qin. If there is anything abnormal, report it to me immediately. Liu Chaoyan was suddenly afraid of Zhou Xing's empathy.
She didn't want to think about what happened that day in Qingxin Xiaozhu, but if Zhou Xing had been with Soho recently, what would she do?
"Yes, girl." Peach took the order and left.
The carriage that Gu Xiyan was riding had just left the Hou Mansion, and the carriage that Zhou Du was riding was also close behind.
It is more than half an hour away from Xiangguo Temple, Gu Xiyan is a weak woman, and the two maids around her are also powerless, so he naturally doesn't worry about her going to Xiangguo Temple by herself.
As for the rest of Wanqinghou Mansion, he can't count on it, so he can only keep an eye on it.
Qi Zhiyuan felt that his son-in-law was really heartbroken for Miss Gu's marriage, and people who didn't know thought that his son-in-law was Miss Gu's father, and even Miss Gu had to watch her carefully.
Chunhua was the first to notice that a carriage was following behind him, and reported the matter to Gu Xiyan as soon as possible.
Gu Xiyan lifted the curtain and looked over, and recognized that it was the carriage that Zhou Du was riding: "It's Zhou Gongzi." I didn't think I was worried about going to Xiangguo Temple alone, so I followed. ”
Chunhua quipped: "Zhou Gongzi treats girls so well, I don't know, I think Zhou Gongzi likes girls." ”
Gu Xiyan smiled and shook his head: "Don't say such things in the future, Zhou Gongzi is an unmarried, and he will never marry anyone in his life." ”
Qiu Shi and Chunhua glanced at each other and asked in unison, "How does the girl know?" ”
Gu Xiyan can't say that in his previous life, Zhou Duan became an emperor and didn't get married, right?
He is not interested in the love between men and women at all, he probably grew up in the Fallen Immortal Temple, he has no desire for power, and he has no interest in women.
She was vague and brought up the topic.
Dong Yong accompanied Mrs. Yongcheng to Xiangguo Temple early.
Originally, Gu Xiyan's divorce by King Qin caused a lot of trouble in the city, no matter which family of famous nobles it was, it was impossible to be interested in a down-and-out noble girl who had just been retired and was not valued by the family.
A few days ago, Liu Qing, a celebrity beside Emperor Chengde, personally sent the imperial tribute fruit into the Wanqing Marquis Mansion, and this matter had already spread in the capital.
And this time it was Emperor Chengde himself who was the matchmaker, in this case, no matter how down-and-out Gu Xiyan was, he became a sweetheart.
Dong Yong is actually not interested in looking at each other. He's only eighteen years old, and he just wants to make a name for himself at the moment. Men are ambitious in all directions, why should they be confined to the love between men and women too early?
Moreover, he doesn't have much thought about women. In view of the fact that he was born in a noble family like the Hou Mansion, although he is not a prince, he should have a lot of wealth at all.
At the moment, he has no interest in getting married.
If it weren't for his mother's claim that His Majesty was the matchmaker, he would not have come to Xiangguo Temple to see each other today.
There was still a quarter of an hour before the agreed time, and at this time, Gu Xiyan went to the lotus pond of Xiangguo Temple accompanied by Chunhua and Qiushi.
A young man dressed in a lilac trim embroidered with dark moire stripes had his back to her, watching the fish in the pool.
Gu Xiyan didn't know if this was the object of her attention, and she was a little hesitant to take the initiative to say hello.
Chunhua and Qiushi had a tacit understanding, and at the same time pushed Gu Xiyan.
Dong Yong heard the movement behind him and turned around, and what he saw was a girl in a light blue dress, she was wearing light makeup, her facial features were exquisite, her skin was like snow, her beautiful eyes were beautiful, and she was slim.
A gust of wind blew, revealing her slender waistline, and her soft figure was like a green willow, as if she wanted to ride the wind back.
is actually a stunning beauty who is both innocent and charming to the extreme.

There is a treasure who can't figure out Xiyan's life experience, Daqian is here to explain:
Liu Shu is Xiyan's father, and Wan Qinghou is Liu Shuzheng's younger brother. Da Gu is Xiyan's mother-in-law, but she died, and Xiao Gu is Da Gu's sister-in-law, but married to Wan Qinghou. In a word, the Gu sisters married the Liu brothers, I don't know if it will be easier.
The treasures ran after reading it, leaving some footprints to see, and giving Daqian a little encouragement.
