Dingguo Gongfu, big room.
Gu Wuji looked at the young man in front of him, no... Now, perhaps it is more appropriate to describe him as a young man.
He didn't wear a high ponytail as he remembered, wearing a white shirt with sleeves, and looking like a teenager, but changed into a round-neck robe embroidered with gentleman bamboo in dark blue, and his hair was all tied up. black headband tied.
He appeared in front of him with a calm and introverted look different from his age.
Undeniable.
Compared with Li Qinyuan in the past, the young man in front of him now makes him satisfied.
But if he wanted to marry his daughter, he would have to look at him with some critical eyes in addition to his satisfaction. He looked at people for a long time, but he couldn't find any faults at all. Li Qinyuan.
It was Chang Shan who was kind. Seeing that he was silent for a long time, for fear that Li Qinyuan would feel embarrassed, he smiled and said to him, "Young Master Li, sit down first, or the tea will be cold."
Li Qinyuan nodded at him to thank him for his kindness, but instead of sitting down immediately, he glanced at Duke Dingguo first to ask what he meant.
Chang Shan's words are not only to help Li Qinyuan, but also to give Gu Wuji a step down. His daughter is determined to be with others. If he is a father, no matter how dissatisfied he is, is it possible that he can really keep his daughter from marrying? Holding the tea cup on the side and taking a sip, he said indifferently, "Sit down."
"Thank you uncle."
Li Qinyuan bowed his hands respectfully and bowed his hands to the person, and then sat down.
He didn't wait for Gu Wuji to speak, but directly presented the things he had prepared earlier. In addition to the two thick account books, there were dozens of contracts, and he asked Chang Shan to present them.
"what is this?"
Gu Wuji stopped drinking tea and frowned.
After taking the things that Chang Shan handed over and looking at it, the expression on his face finally changed.
"This… "
"Going back to my uncle, this is all I have now."
Li Qinyuan said with a smile, "Yesterday, I sent all of them to the yamen, and I asked the government to testify and change to the name of Manman." As if he was afraid of misunderstanding, he explained, "I know that for you, me Things are not worth mentioning, even in ten years or decades, maybe I won't be able to compare with you."
"But I will do everything I can to let Manman live a comfortable life and not let her suffer."
Gu Wuji's heart suddenly became a little mixed. He carefully looked at the things in his hand, and when he saw the familiar handwriting on the account book, he stopped again, looked at the person and said in astonishment: "In Lin'an, At that time, you let Manman manage the accounts for you?"
"Yes."
Li Qinyuan didn't hide it, "If I didn't have Manman, I wouldn't be who I am today. She has participated in all my experiences, whether good or bad, so she should have the right to know everything I have, no matter how much."
Gu Wuji pursed his thin lips slightly, and looked at Li Qinyuan for a long time without saying a word.
Li Qinyuan also let him see, the expression on his face did not change at all, he was still humble and gentle.
I don't know how long it took before Gu Wuji put down the things in his hand, and said in a slow voice, "You have a heart." Then he sincerely praised others, "You don't have to underestimate yourself, I was your age, but You can't do it."
Satisfied with Li Qinyuan's actions in his heart, his tone became much gentler, "I didn't want to embarrass you when I set such a rule, you know, I'm just such a daughter, spoiled by thousands of pets. Growing up, I couldn't bear to have her suffer a little bit."
"I see."
Li Qinyuan took the words and said in a gentle voice, "You don't want to scold me or embarrass me, you just want to test my ability to protect Barbarian."
Gu Wuji heaved a sigh of relief: "It's good if you understand." Then he talked about the business with others, "You take all these things back, as for how to deal with them in the future, it's a matter between you, I won't care... It doesn't matter if you want to join an official career or continue to be in business."
"Only one point. I'm just such a daughter. No matter where you go in the future, you have to let her come back from time to time."
In fact, he would prefer to recruit a child.
Then he can keep Manman under his wing, and he doesn't have to worry about her suffering outside.
But as long as there are promising men in this world, which one is willing to join the marriage? After all, this kid from the Li family is quite good, and he doesn't need to worry so much.
Li Qinyuan quickly got up and promised: "Don't worry, after marriage, I will often bring Man Man home to see you and the old lady."
Gu Wuji was satisfied and asked again, "When are you going to invite a matchmaker to your door?"
Regardless of whether he is satisfied or not, the matter of three media and six hires is indispensable, and he can't let his family suffer grievances.
"actually-"
Li Qinyuan glanced at the man, "I discussed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before that I would like to exchange the price of 30% of the horses for His Majesty's marriage offer." He wanted his savage beauty to marry him, and in this world, there is nothing like It is even more glorious that the Son of Heaven bestows marriage.
Gu Wuji glanced at him in surprise, "30% of the price, are you willing?"
Li Qinyuan smiled, "Actually, this is not just for the savage. As a citizen of Da Zhou, I have never done anything for Da Zhou. These horses are all used for soldiers, and this 30% is my contribution to the soldiers of Da Zhou. heart."
"it is good!"
Gu Wuji happily said: "This is what my big Zhou Erlang should look like!"
"There was an accident in Hankou before, and I heard that you have done a lot of hard work. You are... good." No matter what position you are in, as long as you have the will to live and build the people in your heart, it is worthy of praise. Until now, Gu Wuji Only then was he truly satisfied with Li Qinyuan.
"I wanted to keep you for dinner earlier, but it's never been a coincidence. Today is just right, you stay and drink with me."
There is no reason why Li Qinyuan should not, and he should "yes" when he got up.
When going to the dining hall, Gu Wuji hesitated for a while, but still said to Chang Shan, "Go and invite Miss."
Chang Shan also responded with a smile.
Knowing that Daddy invited her to come over, Gu Wuyou's uneasy heart finally fell all morning, Bai Lu followed, and she asked Chang Shan in a low voice, "Dad didn't embarrass him?"
Chang Shan has been in the mansion for decades, and he can be regarded as watching Gu Wuyou grow up. Although he is a guard, he is even more of an uncle. Hearing the words, he said softly and comfortingly, "Grandpa Guo is very satisfied, otherwise he would not have left anyone behind. Let's have dinner, please come over."
Gu Wuyou was relieved, but he didn't ask any more questions.
After entering the dining hall, before entering, I heard the two people inside talking, mostly Li Qinyuan talking, and what they said were all the experiences of the past year. It's about being young.
Looking at the situation inside through the screen, Gu Wuyou's face couldn't help but show some smiles.
In this life, the two people closest to her are now living well, eating and talking happily... Nothing makes her happier than this.
Without stopping, he turned around the screen and walked in.
The two who were talking raised their heads when they heard the sound, Gu Wuji smiled and said, "Manman is here, come and sit."
"Father." Gu Wuyou bowed to the person, and out of the corner of the eye glanced at Li Qinyuan, who was looking at her with a smile, but he didn't say anything, just blushed, nodded shyly to the person, and sat down obediently to Gu Wuji. beside.
After dinner.
Li Qinyuan didn't stay for a long time, he left after salute with Gu Wuji, and he left without making any other requests.
This made Gu Wuji very satisfied. He didn't ask Manman to send him off, but he also ordered Chang Shan to send him off. After he left, he looked at Li Qinyuan, who was still looking outside, and coughed lightly.
When Gu Wuyou heard the sound, he regained his senses, looked at Daddy's unsightly face, leaned over, held the man's sleeve, and said with a coquettish eyebrow, "Daddy."
"Humph."
Gu Wuji snorted angrily, "You still know how to call Daddy, but I thought your heart was drifting away with you." Seeing her daughter's pretty face, she was so shy that she didn't know what to say. He felt a little sour in his heart, but he didn't feel the way he used to, just a feeling that his daughter had really grown up.
Raising his hand and stroking her head, he sighed, "Manman has really grown up. I still remember how you learned to walk when you were a child. I didn't expect you to be married in a blink of an eye."
Hearing this, Gu Wuyou suddenly felt a bit sour in his heart, "No matter how old your daughter is, she is still father's child."
"Good boy."
Gu Wuji's eyes were slightly red, and he stroked her head, and then told her what Li Qinyuan had said to him before, looking at her slightly startled look, he sighed again: "This child is better than I thought. , there is responsibility and responsibility, the most important thing is that he has you in his heart, in the past... I was narrow-minded."
Gu Wuyou did not expect that Li Qinyuan would do so much silently.
this person...
She really arranged everything for her. Although she did not reveal her identity when she was in Lin'an, she was afraid that people below would think she was just a plaything, so they handed over all the ledgers to her, and in this way made those managers Respect her.
It took only one day to return to the capital, and it was time to go to the government office to change the title deed and the name on the house deed, and to negotiate with the prince's brother.
He had already worked so hard for Defeng's affairs, but he still allocated time to arrange this for her, for fear that she would suffer a little bit of grievance... Gu Wuyou's heart was a little sour, a little swollen, and a little sweet.
Gu Wuji looked at her expression, and only stroked her head, looking at the face that looked more and more like his deceased wife in front of him, there was a bit of emotion in his words, "Your mother has a spirit in heaven. , you can rest assured."
"After a while, let's go see your mother and tell her about it to make her happy."
"it is good."
Gu Wuyou nodded, his voice choked, "I'll go with you."
the next day.
Gu Wuyou hadn't waited for the decree of giving her marriage, but she had waited for her aunt's decree to let her enter the palace.
She didn't tell her aunt when she left earlier, but thinking about her aunt's ability, she probably already knew that this time she entered the palace to "rebuke" her. Thinking of this, she didn't Dare to delay, changed clothes, and took Bai Lu to the carriage sent by the palace.
The carriage went all the way to the palace, and there was no obstruction in the middle, and it stopped when it entered the inner palace.
Before she went to Langya, she lived in the palace for most of the time. Later, when she went to Langya, she had to live in the palace for a while every time she returned to Beijing. She was very familiar with this place. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Aunt Qingru, who was beside his aunt, on the palace road.
Seeing her getting off the carriage, he greeted her with a smile, bowed his head and asked her well, "The county master has worked hard all the way."
"Qingru Auntie."
Gu Wuyou also called out her name with a smile, "How have you been all these years?"
"Thanks to your blessing, the servants are all well." Qing Ru smiled and spoke softly, "It's windy here, the lady and the princess are waiting for you inside, the servants will help you in first."
Knowing that Changping was also there, Gu Wuyou's face turned into a smile again, she didn't say anything, just smiled.
Before entering the gate of Weiyang Palace, I saw a girl in pink who was looking forward to it. It was Changping. Compared with the last time I saw her, she also grew a lot, and when she saw her, she ran towards her with a smile. , and regardless of the persuasion of the people in the palace behind him.
"cousin!"
Gu Wuyou hurriedly gave her a hand, with a helpless tone, "I just thought that you have grown up a lot, but you are still so reckless, and you are not afraid of falling."
"Cousin why do you discipline me when you see me?" Changping pouted, but he wasn't angry. He held her arm in a friendly manner and walked in. As he walked, he knew how to lower his voice and say, "Cousin, how is it outside? Otherwise, don't go back today and tell me about the outside world."
Gu Wuyou glanced at her helplessly, and just as he was about to speak, he noticed a line of sight on him.
Her heart moved, and she looked up quickly. There was a woman in luxurious clothes sitting on a high chair. She wore a phoenix crown and a phoenix robe that belonged to the queen. She looked so graceful and luxurious, from head to toe, Even a single strand of hair has dignity.
This is her direct aunt, her mother's only sister in this world, the eldest daughter of the Langya family—
Wang Jinse.
It is also the mother of their Da Zhou.
"Auntie..." Gu Wuyou looked at this familiar face and became somewhat unfamiliar after so many years, her eyes suddenly reddened.
Seeing her like this, Queen Wang frowned, and her originally calm expression changed. Some were angry, and some were funny, "I haven't trained you yet, so you started crying?" Is it really distressing for this man who grew up watching him grow up? 's niece, sighed, and reached out to the person, "Come here."
Changping let go.
Gu Wuyou walked over, squatted beside the person, buried his face in her lap, and cried with red eyes.
"It makes you feel aggrieved." Queen Wang held a handkerchief to wipe her tears, her tone was not very good, but the movements of her hands were extraordinarily gentle, and her slightly drooping eyelids glowed softly, "I was wronged outside. Is it? Or is that kid from the Li family bullying you?"
"… No."
Gu Wuyou shook his head, and said angrily, "I didn't feel wronged, and no one bullied me. I, I just miss you."
"I know you miss me, but I don't know how to come to see me in the palace?" Queen Wang said angrily, "If I don't call you into the palace this time, I don't know when you will think of my aunt."
Gu Wuyou glanced at her secretly and whispered, "I'm afraid you will scold me..."
Hearing this, Queen Wang immediately raised her eyebrows, and just as she was about to reprimand, the other sleeve was also pulled, just like Gu Wuyou, Changping also squatted at her feet, coquettishly, "Empress mother, you Don't blame my cousin, you can see that my cousin is crying."
"You feel bad for her. I'm the only bad person in the co-authorship."
Even though she said that, looking at these two pretty faces, she couldn't bear to reprimand her any more, so she turned her head and said to Qingru, "If you don't pull these two girls down, they're at the age of marriage, and they're still in front of me. Be good, and don’t be afraid of being embarrassed.”
Qing Ru helped them up with a smile, and sneered at the woman on the throne, "Hey, you are used to being hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. At first, when the county master didn't come, you raised your neck and waited for a long time. Ken speak well."
Queen Wang glanced at her, her voice was neither cold nor cold, "Now you have come to reprimand me too?"
"Don't dare." Qing Ru led the two little ancestors down, and asked them to bring the tea they liked in the past, and Queen Wang said to Gu Wuyou in a leisurely manner: "Tell me, I have done it for half a year. What, where did you go, and how did the Li family treat you?"
When Chang Ping heard this, he put down his favorite pastry and looked at Gu Wuyou with wide eyes, waiting for her to speak.
Gu Wuyou naturally didn't hide them from them, so he started talking about the difficulties they encountered when they first arrived in Lin'an, then talked about Shaoxing and Jinling, and finally turned to Hankou... After the call, Changping's expression changed a lot, and he was shocked from time to time. Shout out.
The expression on Queen Wang's face did not change, but only after hearing her talk about what happened in Hankou, she opened her mouth, "His Majesty and I have already known about what happened in Hankou, and Shen Shao rushed to send the book, which is inside. Praise you a lot."
"You and the Li family did a good job this time."
Gu Wuyou didn't dare to invite this merit, and said quickly, "We didn't do anything, but Shen Yushi worked hard and made a lot of work." When she was talking, she caught a glimpse of Changping across from the corner of her eyes, and she was slightly startled when she saw her expression, and she didn't know what she was thinking. what.
"You deserve to be rewarded."
"Whether it's Yushi Shen or you guys, you've done a good job this time."
As soon as Queen Wang finished speaking, someone came to spread the word. It was Dean, the valet beside Xiao Dingyuan. After entering, he bowed to each of the three masters, and then smiled and said to Queen Wang, "Your Majesty, please ask Leping County. Lord, come over."
