Gu Wuyou didn't know what happened next.
She was a little surprised when she saw Li Qinyuan who suddenly appeared, but she was also happy. When walking out along the palace road with him, she asked him with a pair of eyebrows, "Why are you here? Didn't you go to the prince's brother?"
Seeing her happy, Li Qinyuan also became happy, and said to her softly, "I'll just have a conversation with the crown prince. Knowing that you're still with the empress, I'll be waiting for you here."
"Then how long did you wait?" Gu Wuyou frowned, and he tiptoed to probe his face in distress. He found that his face was a little cold from the cold wind, and he couldn't help but frown and said. : "You don't know how to send a palace servant to talk to me?"
"You finally entered the palace. If I find someone to tell me, I'm afraid that the empress will blame me again." Li Qinyuan smiled, and without waiting for her to say, he said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the carriage. ."
"it is good."
Gu Wuyou nodded.
The carriage was not far away, but she remembered the strange look on Li Qinyuan's face when she was in the imperial palace just now, and she walked a little slowly.
Li Qinyuan noticed it, so he slowed down and laughed at her, "Why? I can't bear to walk so slowly?" He actually couldn't bear it himself. After looking at the front and back, no one was there, so he simply held it under the sleeves of the wide robe. Hold Gu Wuyou's hand.
The little girl's hands were soft and tender, and her skin was too good.
When he was in Lin'an, he liked to hold her hand when he had nothing to do. Sometimes he was in a bad mood, or when something could not be solved, he also liked to hold her hand... It was like this, his impetuous heart can relax.
Before, it was.
Now, too.
He was suddenly grabbed by someone's hand, and his delicate fingers touched his slightly rough fingers. Gu Wuyou was thinking about something, but now he was shocked, and he looked back quickly and saw that there was no one there. He breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone was also a little nervous, "You are not afraid of being seen."
"What are you afraid of?"
Li Qinyuan looked fearless, "You are now the daughter-in-law bestowed upon me by His Majesty. What's there to be afraid of when I hold my daughter-in-law's hand? And..." He tilted his head, bent his lips, and smiled again, "Just now In the imperial palace, I won't hold your hand anymore."
Think of the scene when the marriage was given.
Gu Wuyou's heart was still beating a little faster, and her cheeks also warmed up. She looked at the satisfaction on the handsome face in front of her, and her shyness disappeared. She also pursed her lips lightly. She was happy and didn't let go. His hand, but let him hold it.
"You just..."
"Huh?" Li Qinyuan looked at her.
Without any hesitation, Gu Wuyou asked him straightforwardly, "Are you in a bad mood when you were with my uncle?"
The smile on Li Qinyuan's face froze for a moment, and after a while, he looked at the person and said helplessly: "Gu Wuyou, are you the roundworm in my heart? How come you can see it no matter how well I hide it?" He seemed to She was a little frustrated and raised her hand to touch her head.
But today, because of entering the palace, Gu Wuyou wore a beautiful and complicated flying fairy bun, and he could only put his hand on her forehead and rub it lightly.
It didn't lie to her.
Holding her hand and continuing to walk along the palace road, he told her about the previous imperial palace, "I didn't hide it from you on purpose, I was just afraid that you would have to think about it when you saw it, but I didn't expect you to notice it... "
After a while, he pursed his thin lips slightly and said, "Your Majesty said that he has an old disease."
"Uncle Li?"
"Well," Li Qinyuan walked slowly and his voice was soft, "it was left over from the year my mother died when he was in the war. Because there was no timely cure, it has not yet recovered."
"I actually... never knew."
Hearing that there was some remorse in his words, Gu Wuyou shook his hand gently from under his sleeve, "When he comes back, we will honor him well."
Li Qinyuan looked down at her, saw the gentle look on her face, and the uncomfortable feeling in his heart dissipated a little, he didn't say anything, just gave a soft "um", "... Well, let's honor him together. ."
As he spoke, he was almost at the gate of the palace where the carriage was parked in front.
Although there was a will to grant marriage, but it has not been announced to the public, Li Qinyuan did not leave with her in consideration of her fame, but stood aside and watched her get on the carriage with his own eyes.
"It's cold, you should go back too."
After Gu Wuyou got into the carriage, he lifted the curtain and told him.
Li Qinyuan nodded at her with a smile, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, and answered "Okay", but still watched her carriage go away, and then slowly paced out of the palace.
the next day.
The will to give marriage came down.
De'an personally came to issue the decree. He is the valet of the emperor, and he has attracted much attention. Almost when he arrived at the Dingguo Gongfu, many people were already outside to inquire about the news. What's the matter, to actually be able to work this person to issue the decree in person, not long after he left, many people came to inquire, knowing that it was to issue the imperial decree for marriage, a group of people were even more surprised and asked who it was. .
This is a good thing.
Dingguo Gongfu did not hide it from anyone, and vaguely revealed an outline.
In just one morning, the entire capital, even the streets, knew that Leping County of Duke Dingguo's mansion was mainly married to Li Qilang of Duke Wei's mansion.
If you put it in the past, everyone must think this marriage is inappropriate.
Although the two families were of equal status, Li Qilang was a well-known stingy in the capital, otherwise he wouldn't have had such a family background, and at the age when he should get married, no one would inquire about the news.
But now, in this capital, there is no longer a question of whether they are worthy or not.
In just one year, the bastard who was ridiculed by everyone in the past has become the Li Qilang that everyone praises today, Boss Li, who manages the business at this age and has made great achievements, even with the Western Regions. Ma agreed on a long-term cooperation, and even the last incident in Hankou, I heard that he also helped.
Now everyone is praising the marriage.
When I participated in the hunt, I knew that they were related, and I felt that they were destined marriages.
…
And Dingguo Gongfu.
Liu Shi was also talking to Gu Yu about it. Their mother and daughter just came out of Mrs. Gu's side.
Gu Wuyou's wedding date is set for next April. It's not too short but not too long. There are a lot of things to deal with. At this time, Mrs. Gu is still telling Gu Wuyou and Fu Jiang some things to pay attention to. , Liu Shi led Gu Yu out first.
"Look at your fifth sister, how well you are married now."
"The Son of Heaven bestowed the marriage in person. I also heard that Li Qilang directly rewrote all the properties into your fifth sister's name." Liu Shi felt sour and angry, she couldn't help but stop and reached out to order Gu Yu's On the forehead, "When you were studying in an academy, in terms of time, you knew Li Qilang earlier than her, why didn't people like you?"
"mother!"
Gu Yu covered her forehead and was unhappy, "Why do you always compare me to me, and if I had taken a fancy to others, maybe you would have reprimanded me, I'm afraid you wouldn't even let me out." She always has something What to say, then he flattened his mouth and said, "I didn't know who kept telling me that Fifth Sister had no vision, and who was not good, she had to look at Li Qilang."
"You girl!"
Liu Shi was almost mad at her, "Then how did I know that Li Qilang would become what he is now."
If she had known earlier, she would have let the little girl Gu Wuyou take the lead.
Don't say she regrets, I'm afraid all the ladies in the capital are regretting it, but it's useless to regret this kind of thing, "But this Li Qilang doesn't have any official position, and your fifth sister's status is still a low marriage." Self-comfort After a few words, he looked at Gu Yu again, and said, "You are not too young. After a while, it will be time to hold a plum blossom banquet. At that time, I will take you to take a look outside."
"I'm not going!"
Gu Yu is the most impatient of these things. A bunch of people stand together and pretend, what kind of flowers can they see? When Yu Guang saw Gu Wuyou coming out, she immediately let go of Liu Shi's hand and ran over.
"Why are you still here?" Gu Wuyou looked at her in surprise, and then looked at Liu Shi's face not far away, knowing that it must be his third aunt who said something to make her unhappy, and smiled. Laughing, she took Gu Yu's arm and walked over, bowing to Liu Shi, "Auntie."
"Ai."
When Liu Shi saw her coming, it was not easy to say anything about Gu Yu, so she could only bow her face in response to the salute.
Gu Wuyou then said, "I'm going to ask Ayu to help me see some tricks, does my aunt want to come with me?"
"You girls are watching the tricks, what am I going to do?" Liu Shi smiled and finished talking to Gu Wuyou, and then looked at Gu Yu resentfully, and then was supported by her maid and left first.
After she left, Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Wuyou glanced at her with a smile, and didn't ask her outside, but went to his room, waited for Bai Lu to serve tea and made them all retreat, stroked Shi Shi's head, and asked her, "Okay, tell me Well, what did the third aunt say to make you unhappy?"
"It's not because of my marriage. She doesn't know what medicine she's taking for a while now. Every day she has to lift my ear and let me go out to see each other." Gu Yu gets angry when she talks about this, the pastries she likes to eat. He refused to eat, "I just can't figure it out, why do women have to marry and have children?"
"Could it be that the ultimate goal of our life is to be a daughter-in-law or a daughter-in-law to others?"
In this case, if people outside hear it, they might say she is crazy.
But Gu Wuyou has been through his whole life, and naturally he understands Gu Yu better than others, so he patted Fifteen's body, waited for it to run away to play by himself, and then softly said to Gu Yu: "I don't I know what other people think, but if you ask me—"
"I will tell you that getting married and having children is not absolute."
"If you get married just because you are old, that person's life is really aggrieved."
Seeing Gu Yu's gaze, Gu Wuyou smiled again, held her hand, and said softly, "But if you meet someone you like, there's no need to reject it."
Gu Yu looked at Gu Wuyou blankly.
She didn't expect Gu Wuyou to give her such an answer, whether it was her mother, or the maids around her, even those who played well in the past, felt that a girl should get married when she was old, even her... Don't look at her irritated face now.
But if that day comes.
She may also not have the courage and means to rebel against others.
She may be like everyone else, even if she doesn't like it, she will still obey her parents' arrangement, marry a husband who is in the right household, and then spend the rest of her life trapped in the house to take care of her husband and raise children...
But Gu Wuyou said to her, "People live a lifetime, not to make themselves wronged..."
Gu Yu pursed her lips, her voice was very soft, "What if I can't touch it?"
"Then love yourself well." Gu Wuyou caressed her head with gentle eyebrows, "We still have to live for decades. If you feel wronged and uncomfortable at the beginning, what will you do in the future?"
Gu Yu opened her mouth, she wanted to say that there are actually many people in this world who live together, just like their eldest sister, who looks like a pair of children, but her husband already has a woman he likes, and she looks like the people she knows. , Even her parents were not together because they liked it.
There are too many people in this world, all because of the right word.
Not everyone can be as lucky as her to meet someone who likes and suits you, and the other person deeply loves you.
But she felt that Gu Wuyou was right...
You shouldn't feel wronged for anyone, and you shouldn't choose a path that everyone chooses because you're at the age of marriage. In this life, it's not what others do, but what you should do.
You should have your own perseverance.
Gu Yu felt that she was suddenly enlightened, but she was not so clear, as if there was still a thin barrier in front of her. She stretched out her hand, but she couldn't reach it. She wanted to take a step forward, but she hesitated a lot.
Gu Wuyou looked at the hesitation and confusion on her face, and said nothing, just patted her hand.
What she said just now is to pick tricks, which is true.
Although she didn't need to embroider the wedding dress herself, she still had to embroider a few stitches for some Xipa and so on. Now she had a pattern book in front of her, and she just turned a few pages when she heard Gu Yu say, "Yes. Now, Fu Xian is back, and I said that we will get together in a few days."
"Huh?" Gu Wuyou stopped flipping through the booklet and looked up at the person, "What did Fu Xian tell you?"
"Um."
Gu Yu nodded, but she didn't hear her overtones. Peeling the oranges, he said calmly, "I ran into him when I went out a few days ago, and he told me about it." Probably aware of Gu Wuyou Looking at her the whole time, she frowned and looked sideways, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"fine."
Gu Wuyou smiled, "I haven't seen him for a long time."
