Yuxiang Building.
This is the largest restaurant in Lin'an City. The dishes are never mentioned, and even the scenery is excellent.
Li Qinyuan ordered a few special dishes at random, and then sent people out. When everyone went out, he raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Gu Wuyou, then lifted the two gauze curtains for her, and asked softly, " Bored?"
After speaking, no one answered, and when he looked up, he saw that she was holding her chin and looking at her without blinking.
Gu Wuyou replied, "Li Lang is so handsome."
This is what the daughters along the street said when they passed the long street earlier.
When Li Qinyuan heard this, he knew that the little girl in his family was going to settle an old account with him, and thanks to her being able to endure the whole way, the movement of peeling oranges in her hands did not stop, but there was some helplessness in her eyes, and whispered for mercy: "You can Don't listen to the nonsense of people outside, I don't know how good I am in the past few months."
Hearing him seriously saying that he was good, the corners of Gu Wuyou's mouth couldn't hold back, but he didn't want to let him go like this, he still held his chin, and with a long hum, he asked, "Why are you good, let me listen. "
Li Qinyuan didn't immediately return to her, but fed her an orange first and asked, "Is it sweet?"
Gu Wuyou nodded, the oranges in this season should be a little sour, but Li Qinyuan peeled them for her and they were very sweet. She has always liked sweetness and not sour. She raised her eyebrows in satisfaction and bit the flesh lightly. Zizi's juice burst out in his mouth.
Very hydrating.
Li Qinyuan, who was looking at her with a smile from the corner of his eyes, realized that he was being fooled again. He puffed up with anger, raised his hand and patted his arm, and said angrily, "You are not allowed to give it to me. Off topic."
"Why don't you make it clear to me, today, today..." She rolled her dark eyes, suddenly thought of something, and hummed, "I won't let you go home today."
It's like a newlywed couple after getting married, and they won't let him in when they're angry with their husband.
How powerful is her palm, Li Qinyuan prefers to tease her, hugging his arms with a bitter face, and said pitifully, "It hurts."
Gu Wuyou was really anxious, "I, I didn't use much force? Why does it hurt? Let me see." She was about to move closer, but before she got close, she was hugged by Li Qinyuan, who had a weak face just now. into the arms.
Looking up and seeing the smile in his eyes, Gu Wuyou knew that he was being fooled again, and he was so angry that he was about to have a seizure when he heard someone say softly, "Okay, don't make trouble, what do you think? Listen, I'll tell you everything."
That's more or less.
Gu Wuyou kept his mouth small, stopped making trouble, and obediently listened to what people said.
Li Qinyuan hugged her and said with a smile: "There are a few girls in Lin'an City who like me and have people come to inquire about my situation, but I refused all of them. I wanted to say your name directly, but you are still here after all. Girlfriend, if I say this, I will ruin your reputation."
Gu Wuyou pouted, "I don't care about those reputations."
"I know you don't care..." Li Qinyuan had a strong smile on his face, and handed another orange to the person's mouth before he said, "But you have to consider it for your family."
"But it's all right now. You've been by my side all day. Those people know that I'm not a liar, so naturally they won't hit me."
In fact, what do those people like
It's just because of his appearance and the power behind him, which is disgusting.
Gu Wuyou tilted her head and thought, that's not necessarily true. After she married the general, there were still many people who would attack him, but whether it was in her previous life or in this life, she didn't worry about it...
Her general has a sense of proportion in her own heart, and she doesn't need to say more.
Li Qinyuan saw her brows and eyes stretched, knowing that this matter was over, he whispered coquettishly with her again, without being embarrassed at all, "You don't know, I've been out to talk about business these few months, and everyone else is Surrounded by singers and dancers, I am the only one, and everyone outside tells me…”
Gu Wuyou widened his eyes curiously, "What do you pass on?"
When someone whispered something in her ear, she was startled at first, but then she couldn't hold back anymore, she laughed out loud, her eyes were already moist, and at this moment, she laughed so much that tears came out. coming.
Even the thick long eyelashes are also stained with some water, trembling like dewdrops on the green leaves that are about to fall.
"Are you still laughing? Who am I saying this because of?" Li Qinyuan pursed his lips and became unhappy. He liked to play with his little girl when he was unhappy. Ask, "Are you still smiling?"
Gu Wuyou was the most ticklish, the tears that were about to fall rustled down, and begged for mercy, "Li Qinyuan, don't bully me."
It would be fine if she didn't beg for mercy.
But at this time, tears were streaming down his face, and his face was shyly begging for mercy. Li Qinyuan was able to bloom on the spot even if an iron tree, not to mention, he didn't have any resistance to her, and the hand that was on her arm suddenly tightened. , There is also some itching in the throat.
Outside the half-open Xuan window is a wonderful spring.
And this room lit with the fragrance of pear blossoms seems to be a little charming all of a sudden.
Li Qinyuan's dim eyes looked straight at the person, and just as he was about to speak, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Gu Wuyou in his arms hadn't reacted yet, but he immediately lowered his face, and quickly pulled down the gauze curtain for her to ensure that no one would see her face, and then turned his head and looked at Miao Ling who was standing at the door. The woman, with a gloomy face and a furious voice, shouted in a low voice, "Get out!
The visitor obviously did not expect to encounter such a picture, she was stunned at the door, as if she was stupid.
When she regained her senses and saw Li Qinyuan with a gloomy expression, her beautiful face showed a bit of embarrassment again. She naturally did not miss the tenderness that Li Qinyuan showed when she looked at that person when she came in just now.
That is-
A side she's never seen.
Zhuang Ru has never suffered a loss since she was a child. Thinking that there are many people outside who read her jokes, she was stunned and refused to go out.
Even though he was afraid of Li Qinyuan's imposing manner, but relying on his father's ability in Lin'an, he still gritted his teeth and walked in. He closed the door behind him with his backhand, and glanced at the hat he had already put on and was tightly guarded in his arms. Gu Wuyou looked at Li Qinyuan again.
"Li Lang, is this your fiancee?"
Li Qinyuan was disgusted in his heart, how could he care about her? Feng Mu glanced at her coldly, didn't say anything, retracted her gaze, and gently helped Gu Wuyou back to the chair, then turned her head to look at Zhuang Ru, her thin lips slightly parted, and she spit out two words: "Get out." He added, "If Miss Zhuang doesn't want to lose face completely, don't let me repeat it a third time."
He sat upright on the chair, his face was indifferent without any emotion, and he also had an indifference that rejected people thousands of miles away, which was completely different from the gentleness he had before facing Gu Wuyou.
Seeing him like this, Zhuang Ru's pale face became more and more difficult to look at.
Since the first time she saw Li Qinyuan, she has secretly promised her, and with the power behind Li Qinyuan, her family has never stopped her from approaching people.
For so many years, she has always been accustomed to running rampant in this Lin'an City, and even the ladies from the official family are also friendly to her. In the past few months, she has been laughing at others because of Li Qinyuan's affairs. Although Li Qinyuan never gave her a straight eye, But she wasn't afraid.
She wants money and money, and she wants beauty and beauty.
Even if it is a piece of wood, she can make people become her soft fingers.
Who would have thought that this cold-blooded and ruthless person had really become Rouzhirou, but not because of her.
She didn't go out these days because she felt the cold, so naturally she didn't know what was going on outside. Today, someone suddenly came to the house, obviously to visit the doctor, but in private they came to laugh at her for being a fool, everyone has a fiancée, and she still At home, I dreamed of going to the imperial government.
Thinking of the series of sarcasm, she felt annoyed and angry.
Gritting his teeth against Li Qinyuan's disgusting gaze, he moved his eyes to Gu Wuyou who was sitting upright, "Who is your daughter? Who is your name? Why do you keep wearing a hood and refuse to see anyone?"
If it wasn't for Li Qinyuan's presence, she would have to say, "Are you so ugly that you refuse to see people."
Her father had inquired about it, and Li Qinyuan had never engaged in a marriage.
What fiancée? I'm afraid it's Feng Yuenv, who shamelessly hooked up on the door. Thinking of the way the two were hugging each other just now, there was some ridicule on her face, and her voice was even more sneering, "You are a girl who hasn't left the cabinet and hugs someone. Don't be ashamed!"
Hearing this, Li Qinyuan's already gloomy face sank completely.
He clenched his hands into fists, stared straight at people with deep eyes, and the air pressure around his body became low. He was never afraid of rumors or reputation, and naturally he was not afraid of news of bullying women. The sharpness and coldness in his eyes were overwhelming. infiltrated in the direction of Zhuang Ru.
Seeing that his face was getting paler and paler, he was about to get up and drive him out.
But before he could leave, someone grabbed his sleeves from behind. Li Qinyuan froze and turned his head. The coldness on his face had not completely dissipated, but his voice was very gentle, "Sit down, I will drive people away. Just go."
His temper is getting better and better now, and he will condone such a person's words for so long.
Gu Wuyou did not let go, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll come."
Li Qinyuan frowned, obviously disapproving, but he knew her temper, pursed his lips and sat back, and let her go, he would not let her suffer any loss.
Zhuang Ru's face was even more ugly when she saw the two people's actions.
When had she seen such a talkative Li Qinyuan? Just as he was about to speak, the woman in the hood said, "Who are you?"
The voice was tender and soft, but it was not like Jiangnan's daughter's softness. Instead, it was full of innate pride. Zhuang Ru pursed her lips, hiding the unhappiness in her heart, and replied proudly, "My surname is Zhuang. , Zhuang Zixin of the Lin'an Chamber of Commerce is my father."
In terms of family background, she has never lost in Lin'an City.
Afraid that she was an outsider and didn't understand this, she added, "The best shops across from Defeng are all from my family."
I thought I could bluff this Fengyue Girl, but I didn't want her to make a "puchi" sound from the other side... This smile embarrassed her more than Li Qinyuan's indifference, Zhuang Ru said angrily: "You laugh. what!"
Gu Wuyou apologized with a good temper: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
She really didn't mean it.
It's the first time I've heard someone say such a thing, and it's... weird. She has been the princess since she was born, and there are the Gu family and the Wang family behind her. Even the masters in the palace are hurting her. They do whatever they want to do wherever they go, and no one ever runs away. Say something like "who is my father" in front of her.
Compared with her father, in this world, I am afraid that no one can compare to her except Changping.
"you-"
Hearing her apology, Zhuang Ru became even more angry, gritted her teeth, refused to show her temper in front of Li Qinyuan, and asked her, "You haven't answered me yet, whose daughter are you?"
She wants to see what kind of flowers this Fengyue Girl can make up!
"This..." Gu Wuyou half tilted his head and thought for a while, but he really couldn't make up any flowers, and said honestly, "Sorry, I can't tell you."
She really can't tell.
However, Zhuang Ru just thought she was teasing her, and became furious, "How about you play with me?"
He wanted to say more, but Li Qinyuan, who had not spoken for a while, said, "Enough, Miss Zhuang, please come back." Still thinking it was not enough, he held Gu Wuyou's hand, looked at the person and said lightly, "My wife has a temper. Good, but I have a bad temper, if you disturb us again and again, I don't mind having a good chat with Boss Zhuang."
When Zhuang Ru, who was about to lose his temper just now, heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, holding the handkerchief and wanting to cry, "Li Lang..."
Li Qinyuan ignored her, just as Xiao Er came to deliver the food, he turned his head and said to Gu Wuyou, "Let's pack it back to the store to eat." After being tossed like this, how could he still have the heart to enjoy the scenery
Gu Wuyou didn't care, he nodded obediently and agreed.
For her, it's the same wherever she eats, as long as Li Qinyuan is by her side.
It didn't take long for Xiao Er to bring the packaged food. Li Qinyuan held the things in one hand and Gu Wuyou's hand in the other. He completely ignored Zhuang Ru who was still in the room, and took Gu Wuyou out as if there was no one else around. Walk.
At this point, it happened to be meal time, and there were many people in the restaurant.
In addition, Zhuang Ru came over in a hurry just now, and even brought a group of people watching a good show with him. Seeing them go out, almost everyone's eyes turned to them.
The two of them have long been accustomed to the gaze of others, and even if they are looked at by so many people, they can't change their faces.
Everyone watched helplessly as the two walked downstairs until they walked outside, and saw Li Qinyuan carefully helping people onto the carriage. , brushing aside the two gauze curtains of Gu Wuyou, revealing half of her face.
Although there is only half of the face, although it is only a flash, it still makes those who see it take a breath of air.
surprised.
Shock.
Can't believe it.
Even Zhuang Ru, who just followed behind and felt that Gu Wuyou's appearance was like no salt, turned pale. She originally thought that she was wearing a hood because she was not good-looking, but this face... Even in Lin'an, she was known for her beauty. The Zhuang Ru is also no better than 10% of the people.
The carriage slowly left.
The onlookers here in the restaurant did not make a sound for a long time.
Since that day, Gu Wuyou has shown half of his face, and the words in the Lin'an Teahouse have become much more frequent. Every day, many people go to Defeng Store deliberately, just to see who this girl wearing a hat is. It's not really as the outside said, she looks like a fairy.
After Li Qinyuan found out, he almost burned all those words in the teahouse.
He was so angry that he thought that after leaving the capital, no one would covet his Manman. How could he have imagined that under such circumstances, there would still be a group of people who don't know whether to live or die running to the front every day.
Just a few days passed, and it was getting closer and closer to the delivery date of Shaoxing.
Although a batch of goods was lost before, and a lot of money was lost, it was always a near miss. Just a few days before delivery, all 500 pieces of woven cloud brocade were completed.
This list is not too big or small, and he didn't need to make a trip in person, but thinking about the follow-up cooperation, it would be inappropriate to hand it over to Xu Yong and Cong Yu. Li Qinyuan thought about it and decided to make a trip in person.
If this happened in the past, Li Qinyuan would naturally leave without saying a word, but now that there is Gu Wuyou next to him, he has to think about others.
When Gu Wuyou entered, what she saw was Li Qinyuan frowning. She didn't say anything, she walked lightly behind the person, raised her hand and gently rubbed her temples for him.
"You came."
Li Qinyuan came back to his senses and put his hand on the back of her hand.
"Um,"
Gu Wuyou replied softly and asked him, "Are you thinking about going to Shaoxing?"
Li Qinyuan nodded, and didn't hide it from her. He hugged the person on his lap, put his arms around her waist, and said, "I have to go to this business in person. Lin'an and Shaoxing are not far away, but they have to come and go. For ten days, I think Cong Yu will accompany you these few days."
"He has some kung fu, and ordinary people can't hurt you."
"No." The candles flickered in the room, Gu Wuyou put his hands around Li Qinyuan's neck and looked directly at his eyebrows, "I want to follow you."
“It’s quite…”
Li Qinyuan sighed, "We've been sleeping in the open all the way, I don't want you to endure hardship with me." After speaking, seeing her still stubborn, he sighed again and raised his hand to stroke her hair. In fact, she followed herself, originally Also suffered.
And if he really wanted to put her in Lin'an, he was not worried.
"Forget it," Li Qinyuan pursed his lips, and finally made up his mind, "Then you can go with me."
Hearing this, Gu Wuyou immediately raised her eyebrows and laughed. She buried her face in Li Qinyuan's neck and acted like a cat, "Li Qinyuan, you are so kind."
Li Qinyuan's heart was so soft that he put his hand on top of her head, rubbed it lightly, and didn't speak, but he never let go of the hand that held her.
On the official road a few days later.
Li Qinyuan and his party have been walking on the road for three days. These days, they have been eating and sleeping in the open air, and they dare not slow down their pace. Now they are not far away from Shaoxing. Ancestor hadn't had a good meal for several days, so he simply raised his voice and said, "Let's see if there is an inn in front of you. If there is, let's take a good rest today, make some repairs, and enter the city tomorrow."
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for them to enter the city in this state.
The accompanying guards immediately became happy when they heard this.
Li Qinyuan also laughed, and Lin Qing, who was following him, ordered, "Go ahead and take a look first."
"Yes!"
Lin Qing responded.
Li Qinyuan rode his horse to the side of the carriage, raised his hand and tapped lightly on the carriage.
After a while, the car curtain was lifted, Gu Wuyou rested his chin on the window lattice, raised a pair of clear Xing'er eyes, looked at him under the moonlight and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Are you tired?"
Li Qinyuan asked her.
Gu Wuyou shook his head, his voice was very good, "I'm not tired."
If her voice wasn't so hoarse and her face wasn't so pale, those words would be somewhat convincing. Li Qinyuan sighed inwardly, but he didn't say anything. He raised his hand and touched her head, and said softly to her: "We will rest at the inn tonight."
After speaking, he smiled again: "You can sleep well today."
Although Gu Wuyou said that she was not tired, but after a few days of riding in the carriage, her back still hurt, and her legs were swollen a lot. As soon as she heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, shining like a The stars in the sky... Seeing her like this, Li Qinyuan felt even more tender in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. It was Lin Qing who had returned.
"How's it going?" He pulled down the curtain and turned to ask.
Lin Qing cupped his hands and said: "Master, there is an inn not far in front, but..." He hesitated a little, glanced at the carriage before replying: "There is only one room left in that inn."
