at night.
Madam Gu's main hall.
If there is anything in the family on weekdays, they come to Mrs. Gu's side to discuss it. It will be long past Xu Shi, but the masters of the Gu family are all sitting in the house.
The maids all retreated after drinking the tea. Gu Wuji had just returned from the court, without even changing his clothes, he took a sip of tea and waited for his throat to moisten before saying, "A great victory at the border, Ashina has already been strangled, and they still found it. The traces of the eldest prince of the Turks, and now the Turks have been taken over by the eldest prince again, and when the border affairs are finished, they will bring the eldest prince and Jiang Shu back to Beijing."
When everyone heard this, they finally let go of their hearts.
Gu Wuyou breathed a sigh of relief. She learned of the "Border Victory" from Bai Lu in the evening, but she didn't know what the specific situation was. She was all looking forward to her father's return, and she didn't even eat dinner. .
Now the big stone in my heart has finally fallen.
Gu Wuji knew that she was worried about Li Qinyuan, so he said again: "Qilang has done a good job this time, I see that all the papers sent by Fu Bei are full of praise for him, His Majesty is also very happy when he sees it. There will be a reward when he comes back."
Since agreeing to the marriage between the two, he has become more and more pleasing to the eyes of Li Qinyuan.
In my heart, I have long regarded him as half a son.
When he went to court today, he specially met the soldier who came from the border crossing. Haosheng asked about the past few months, knowing that in the past three months, the child never knew anything, and finally deployed to lead the war, and directly took over. Li Jiajun, let the army be convinced.
This son-in-law-
He is more and more satisfied now.
When Gu Wuyou heard this, her heart was not as happy as others, on the contrary, she was half sour. She was proud of the glory he had achieved so far, but she was also sad that he had to choose this path after all... Said so many times myself.
But really knowing that he took over Li Jiajun for Wei Guogong, she still felt bad.
Soft fingers twisted the handkerchief gently.
Afraid that others would see the strangeness on her face, she lowered her head.
"He is a blessing, and no matter how graceful His Majesty is, now the wedding is approaching, and the process that has fallen behind has to be picked up." Madam Gu told Fu Jiang, "We haven't had any weddings in our mansion for many years, you must Make it more lively, and if you don't have enough people, tell me."
Fu Jiang got up quickly, "Daughter-in-law knows, don't worry, daughter-in-law will definitely take care of the marriage."
She is proper.
Mrs. Gu didn't say anything, she turned around with the beads in her hand, and said to the people below: "It's late at night, since it's all right, you can all go back."
"Yes."
People went out.
Gu Wuji noticed that his daughter was in a bad mood, and after thinking about it, he said to someone, "Manman, come with me."
Gu Jiufei and Gu Yu were originally following Gu Wuyou's side, but stopped when they heard this.
The father and daughter walked away, and Gu Wuji asked, "Are you unhappy?"
Gu Wuyou was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that her father would find out. She didn't know what to say.
Can only vaguely say: "No."
"You, every time you are unhappy, you like to lower your head and twist your fingers." Gu Wuji said while looking at her twisted fingers, guessed for a while, and then asked, "Don't you want to? Qilang goes to the battlefield, afraid that he will follow in the footsteps of Li Censhen?"
Gu Wuyou looked at his twisted fingers, "... um."
"Actually, when I first heard His Majesty talk about this, that's what I thought..." Gu Wuji looked at the daughter who was much older than before, raised his hand to touch her head, then retracted it, and said softly: " I always feel that no matter what Shichiro does, as long as you are happy yourself."
He never cares whether it is glorious or not, as long as he is pretty happy.
"But then—" Gu Wuji paused, looked at the girl's raised eyes, and added, "I heard the soldier from the border talk about the past few months, and then I realized that some people in this world are born with It belongs to the battlefield."
Gu Wuyou asked hoarsely, "What happened in the past few months?"
Gu Wuji didn't hide it from her, and told her all the things he had inquired about, "Like his father, he was born with convincing ability, among the soldiers in the army, which officer is not higher than him, which experience is not higher than him. Not richer than him, but he has the ability to make others listen to him."
"It's not just because he is Li Censhen's son, but because he has this ability himself."
After Gu Wuyou heard her father's words, she didn't know what to say for a while. In fact, why should she ask? She has long known what kind of person he is... Her generals have always been admirable.
But she was really afraid that he would make the same mistake again.
She couldn't forget how she knew about his death in her previous life, and she couldn't forget to go home with his coffin and watch him lying there quietly.
"Pretty."
Gu Wuji said warmly, "Don't be afraid of things that haven't happened yet. I can see that the kid has always put you first, and even if it's for you, he won't let anything happen to him."
As if someone had gently plucked her heartstrings, Gu Wuyou's dazed eyes suddenly became much clearer at this moment. She raised her head to look at her father and the gentle smile on his face. A cloud of fog seemed to have finally been swept away.
yes.
Why worry about something that hasn't happened yet
In this life, many things have changed. She didn't marry Zhao Chengyou, she met the general early, and she is about to get married with the general. Wei Guogong is fine... Doesn't this mean that some things can be changed
She didn't believe that God told her to do it all over again just to make her repeat the mistakes of her previous life.
Even if there is really no way, she has really reached the step of her previous life, so didn't she also tell herself that she will not regret it until she dies.
The gloom that had been pressing in his heart for the past few days finally dissipated completely, and a bright smile rose on Gu Wuji's face again. Looking at Gu Wuji, he happily said, "Thank you, Daddy!"
She is really stupid. She always thinks about those bad things, but forgets that some things have long been different, just like her father in this life, isn't he living well
She was really trapped in a dead end by herself, anyway, she has come out now.
"Silly boy."
Gu Wuji still couldn't hold back and stroked her head, but the next thing was
It became a lot sadder, "When that kid comes back, you will really leave the cabinet, and you will be someone else's daughter-in-law in the future. Thinking of this, Daddy is really reluctant."
Gu Wuyou hugged his arm affectionately, "Even if I get married, I will often come to see Daddy."
Since that day, the border has sent a letter of great victory.
The capital city swept away the haze of the past months, and suddenly it became lively, and the most lively was the Dingguo Gongfu. Worry, these days are also smiling.
And in such a day after day of anticipation, the army is finally approaching the gate of the city.
Knowing that Li Qinyuan came back, Gu Wuyou woke up early in the morning, and as a gift from the Son of Heaven, he specially let the Crown Prince, King Jin and civil and military officials go out to greet her... She had been pestering her father for a long time, and she followed.
city gate.
Civil and military officials stood in two rows, led by the crown prince, the king of Jin, and important officials like Daddy.
And Gu Wuyou sat in the carriage, lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside.
Bai Lu is persuading in a low voice, "Master, the grandfather of the country has urged you not to be discovered. You should sit down first, and I will tell you when someone comes."
"Yeah." Gu Wuyou nodded, but he obviously didn't take it to heart. He still held a corner of the car curtain and looked outside, muttering, "Why haven't you come yet?"
Seeing her like this, Bai Lu shook her head helplessly and did not persuade her any further.
After a while, everyone suddenly felt a sudden movement, Gu Wuyou's heart moved, and he looked up quickly, and saw that there were thousands of soldiers coming here not far away, but when Li Qin went away, only one did not Even if some people know him, most of the unknown people in the official position are looking at General Fu and Wei Guogong's sake.
And now.
He was in the first row side by side with Duke Wei, General Fu, and others. He was still wearing the same silver armor that he was wearing. The closer he got, the more clear the handsome features hidden under the silver crown.
After several months of fighting, he was enveloped in a chilling aura that only belongs to the border, but Gu Wuyou suddenly burst into tears when he looked at this familiar face, and then—
"master?"
"Pretty?!"
After a few exclamations, everyone only saw a red figure jumping down from the carriage, her three thousand blue silk fluttering in the wind, and the pair of embroidered shoes on her feet stepped on the loess, crossing the crowd, filling the sky. Under the yellow sand, only the red on her body became the only bright color.
"This… "
Fu Bei looked at the person who came, and before he finished speaking, he realized that the people around him were moving.
When the man who was standing high on the horse just now saw the red figure, his face suddenly changed, and then he was stunned for a moment, and then the horse ran over.
The civil and military officials in the distance were still standing at the gate of the city, and the soldiers who came from the border behind them were still slowly driving towards the gate of the city.
And Li Qinyuan looked at Gu Wuyou who ran towards him without hesitation, his heart seemed to be pinched hard, when he got close, he pulled the reins, and before the horse stopped, he turned over and dismounted. Stepping forward, he stretched out his arms and hugged the person.
Fu Bei looked at the situation and said to Li Censhen, "This is the first time I've seen Qilang like this."
Yuan Tuo and others behind him were also shocked. In the past few months, the army has
Whoever saw Li Qinyuan in the camp did not call out "Little General Li", although Li Qinyuan had not been officially appointed, but they respected him from the bottom of his heart.
Who would have thought that General Li, who was more serious and indifferent than his father in the military camp, would still have such a time
Li Censhen looked at the young girl in the distance, but just pursed his lips and smiled, and said nothing.
Gu Wuyou's face was buried in Li Qinyuan's chest. Even through such a layer of soft armor, she could hear the thunderous heartbeat, which was louder than the battle drums on the battlefield. In fact, it was a little uncomfortable. Her arms were so hard that she could barely breathe.
But she was reluctant to let go, and even more reluctant to struggle.
At such a time, only a slight pain could convince her that he was really back.
Li Qinyuan seemed to know what she was thinking, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm back."
"… Um."
When Gu Wuyou heard this, he wanted to cry even more.
Li Qinyuan said again: "I sent myself to you safely."
In the past few months of marching and fighting, he hardly had a good rest. This urgency was also because he promised Gu Wuyou that he would rush back before the wedding... He promised to marry her home in a beautiful and beautiful way, how could he make her a perfect friend? The laughing stock of the city
Hearing this, Gu Wuyou couldn't hide his tears any longer, he sniffled, and choked, "You know how to make me cry."
Li Qinyuan has to say more, the sound of the hooves behind him has already arrived, Fu Bei sat on the horse, and said with a smile: "What can I say when I go back?"
The rest of the soldiers behind him who were close to Li Qinyuan also laughed.
Gu Wuyou was thin-skinned, he quickly struggled out of Li Qinyuan's arms, looked at Li Censhen and the others, and said hello softly, "Uncle Li, General Fu..."
Li Censhen said warmly, "Let's go back first."
Li Qinyuan nodded without riding a horse, holding the reins in one hand and Gu Wuyou's hand in the other, and led her directly to the gate of the city... When he got there, he first bowed to the prince and the king of Jin, and then looked at Gu Wuji, whose face was not very good-looking, respectfully gave a junior salute, "Uncle."
Gu Wuji, who had a good impression of Li Qinyuan at first, became sullen again. He pulled his daughter without saying a word, and then ordered Bai Lu in a deep voice, "Help the county lord get on the carriage."
this time.
Gu Wuyou didn't want his father to come down from the stage, he bowed to everyone, glanced at Li Qinyuan again, and walked obediently to the carriage.
When she was about to board the carriage, she noticed a line of sight and looked up, only to see a bunch of officials.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"It's okay." Gu Wuyou shook his head, not taking it to heart, "Let's go."
Seeing her get on the horse, Zhao Chengyou, who was hiding in the crowd, raised his face again. He looked at the carriage that had already dropped the curtain, and his expression was extremely complicated. The moment he saw the carriage that she jumped off, he had a momentary I want to walk over directly and hold her hand.
But…
Not yet.
If he goes out at this time, all his preparations and arrangements will be destroyed.
He took another look at the man standing not far away, dressed in dark clothes and soft armor, with a dignified appearance... Zhao Chengyou
Unexpectedly, in this life, Li Qinyuan still followed the old path of the previous life, the hand under his sleeve was tightly clenched, and there was a bit more sullenness between his eyebrows.
Today, Li Qinyuan and others are the protagonists.
Xiao Jingxing represented Emperor Qingxi. After condolences to them, he said in a warm voice, "My father has already set up a banquet in the palace, all generals, please enter the palace with me." Soon, a group of people went in the direction of the imperial city. .
Although the King of Jin Xiao Ke is also the grandson of the prince.
But obviously for Da Zhou and these soldiers, the Crown Prince Xiao Jingxing is the one they will support in the future.
He, who was also ordered by the emperor, was left at the end, he could only watch the crowd crowded around Xiao Jingxing and leave... He felt resentful, but he was already used to such a situation, and just as he was about to get on his horse and leave, I heard a familiar voice, "Your Highness."
"Chengyou?"
Xiao Ke looked at Zhao Chengyou, who was wearing civilian clothes, and said in surprise, "Why are you still here?"
Zhao Chengyou said in a warm voice, "I saw Your Highness alone, thinking that there is nothing to do with Weichen over there, so I stayed to accompany you for a walk."
When Xiao Ke heard this, the expression on his face became much better. He was not in a hurry to get on the horse, and patted his shoulder, "Chengyou, thank you very much."
Zhao Chengyou smiled and said nothing.
The two walked slowly towards the imperial city, and Xiao Ke couldn't help but say on the way, "This Li Qilang is really majestic now. I heard the father's intention and planned to make him General Huaiyuan. He is only eighteen this year. It can be ranked third-rank, and in the future... I don't know what will happen."
He was just indignant, suddenly thinking of the relationship between Zhao Chengyou and Li Qinyuan, and said quickly: "Chengyou, don't get me wrong."
"It's okay, what His Highness said is true, this young master Li Qi is indeed a very powerful person." Zhao Chengyou had a gentle face, and he was not angry at all because of his words. He just looked at Xiao Jingxing and the others leaving, which was plausible. Said one sentence, "The prince has the help of this young master Li Qi, so he will be able to be even more successful in the future."
Finished.
Yu Guang saw Xiao Ke frowning and said nothing, so he didn't say any more.
During the great victory at the border, the first prince Ba Ye signed a century-old treaty with Da Zhou. In a hundred years, the Turks surrendered to Da Zhou and became a vassal of Da Zhou. Li Qinyuan was also awarded the title of General Huaiyuan of the third rank, and he was the only one in the limelight for a while.
All of a sudden, even Gu Wuyou's reputation rose with the tide.
In the past, they felt that it was a great blessing for the two to have your Majesty's marriage, and they knew that Li Qinyuan treated her well, and they were even more envious, but now that Li Qinyuan was so envied by His Majesty, he became an important minister in the court at eighteen. It will take a few more years, I am afraid that the reputation is even more famous than Wei Guogong.
In addition to being envious, they also regretted each other.
Who would have thought that Li Qilang, who used to be reckless in the past, would become what he is now? If you had known earlier, I was afraid that the gate of Wei Guogong's mansion would be trampled.
Gu Wuyou didn't pay attention to these words outside, and occasionally heard a few maids talk about it and just laughed without saying a word.
It was a rare sunny day, Gu Wuyou stood in the gatehouse, looking at it with his neck raised. When he saw a row of carriages, his face suddenly showed joy.
