Early the next morning, Gu Wuyou went out.
Bai Lu and Hong Shuang are no strangers to her going out so early now, but Ding Guogong has sent people to inquire a few times in the past few days, but Gu Wuyou made excuses.
She was obviously in a hurry today, and she didn't have time to remind them to bask in plum blossoms when she went out.
After walking to the shadow wall and getting on the carriage, the driver who was anxious to get on fire said, "Go to the academy." After a pause, he changed his words: "Forget it, go to East Street first, you put me down at the old place."
Something like this happened.
Although there is no guarantee that the general will appear, she still wants to take a look.
perhaps…
He will appear.
After all, the general had never lied to her before.
The driver didn't know what was wrong with this delicate fifth young lady, but he nodded, and after he was seated, he raised his whip and drove the car in the direction of East Street.
The carriage moved forward steadily, and when it reached the old place, the driver tightened the reins and slowed down the speed. After the horse's hoofs lightly stepped on the ground a few times and the carriage stopped, he turned his head and said to the inside: "Fifth Miss, here we are. ."
"Um."
Gu Wuyou nodded, picked up the curtain and looked outside. There were not many people and carriages on the road, and she didn't have anyone to help her, so she stepped down on the footstool.
At the end of the year, the day is getting colder.
She didn't feel it when she was sitting in the carriage, but now she couldn't help sneezing when the cold wind blew in her face.
The driver on the side of Hou quickly asked with concern, "Miss Fifth, are you alright?"
"Well."
Gu Wuyou shook her head, "It's fine." She put on her hood and tightened the cloak on her body. When she felt that it was not so cold, she said to the driver, "Just wait for me here, if you feel cold. Just go to a nearby store and sit down."
Facing Gu Wuyou now, the coachman was not as nervous as before, and smiled with her, "Go ahead, it's alright, little one."
Seeing this, Gu Wuyou didn't talk to him anymore, and walked towards the small alley.
There were still no people in the narrow and cramped alley. It wasn't until she turned the corner that the loud and noisy voices slowly came towards her. Gu Wuyou didn't know what was wrong. Hearing these voices, it was still hanging just now. The heart that was holding it slowly calmed down like this.
It was as if it had finally found its place.
The originally hesitant steps slowly picked up. The closer the voice was, the faster she walked under her feet. When she reached Lao Zhang's breakfast shop, she didn't even feel how cold the wind was. He ran, sweat dripping on his forehead and nose.
The crowd surrounding them suddenly saw such a little girl running over, and they all stopped talking.
Even Lao Zhang, who was at Xia Wonton, saw Gu Wuyou wearing a hood and running like a gust of wind, but he didn't react immediately. He didn't respond immediately until he got closer and saw the face clearly. The thing inside, shouted: "You child, how can you run so fast?"
"Uncle Zhang."
Gu Wuyou was panting, but there was still a smile on his face, "He, is he here?"
"Ah?" Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment, before he realized it, he laughed: "I haven't come yet, or why don't you go to the meeting first? It's cold outside, you go to the meeting first, I have some wontons on hand. I'll do it for you when you're done."
Thinking of the time when the General came late, Gu Wuyou nodded, "Okay, I'll go ahead and wait for him."
After she entered, some of the people who were in front of Lao Zhang whispered, "Who is this girl? What is her relationship with Young Master Li? Let's get out of the alley together."
Thinking of what Li Qinyuan said, Lao Zhang quickly reprimanded with a cold face: "Based on their relationship, what does it have to do with you?"
Seeing that they were still gossiping on their faces, he put down the spoon again and said with a sullen face, "Whether it's Young Master Li or the girl inside, it's not something you can blame, just keep your mouth shut and don't say anything. ."
"Otherwise, you will suffer in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you."
He asked about it a few days ago.
Wasn't the Tanhua Lang three years ago the third son of Dingguo Gongfu's family? Although the little girl in it didn't know which young lady she was, it was not something they could offend.
The group of people who wanted to talk about gossip suddenly became silent when they heard this, all of them were pale, for fear that something would really happen.
Gu Wuyou didn't know what was being discussed outside, and he didn't bother to know.
She sat in a chair, staring at the blue curtain, waiting for the general to appear. But after waiting for a long time, the curtain didn't move, and the expectations and joy in my heart were also cleaned up a little bit because of the passage of time.
finally--
The curtain moved.
She stood up immediately, and a smile appeared on her face, but the smile that floated on her face fell again the moment she saw Lao Zhang appearing.
Not a general.
The general did not come.
"Uh..." Old Zhang is not blind, how could he not see the little girl's change from joy to despair, he coughed lightly, put breakfast in front of her, and said warmly: "I guess there is something delayed, you Eat and wait."
"… Um."
Gu Wuyou smiled reluctantly, "Thank you Uncle Zhang, you can go to work first." After she finished speaking, she sat down, took the spoon and dipped the wontons, lowered her head, and ate with the same taste.
Old Zhang originally wanted to talk to her, but he could only sigh when he saw her, "Then eat slowly, I'll go out first."
Gu Wuyou nodded.
She was actually very hungry and hadn't eaten much last night, but now that breakfast was in front of her, it was obviously delicious, but she just couldn't eat it, so she finally put down the spoon.
Holding his chin, Gu Wuyou stared at the curtain intently.
In fact, he already has the answer in his heart. The general has always kept his word, but he will definitely come if he promises. If he doesn't show up by this point, then he is ready to miss the appointment.
This was the first time that the general did not do it after he promised her.
Gu Wuyou's heart was empty, but he was not angry, but worried more... The relationship between the general and his family was not good. Usually, he would rather live in the academy so close to home.
Now that he is kicked out of the academy, he will definitely not go home.
Where will he go? Fu Xian and the others
No, he never liked to trouble others, and he definitely wouldn't bother them at this time.
So what kind of inn should it be? But there were so many inns in the capital, so she was like fishing for fish in a haystack... Gu Wuyou sighed softly, and sat for a while, but she still stood up with good spirits.
Don't waste any more time.
Go to the academy first, as long as the truth is found out, he will always appear, but she is still a little aggrieved. Looking at the empty room, and the empty opposite, she said softly, "Liar."
Wait until you find out the truth and then clean him up, big liar.
Hear movement behind him.
Old Zhang turned his head in surprise, saw Gu Wuyou coming out, and asked in confusion, "Why did you finish eating so quickly?"
Gu Wuyou forced a smile, took out a few coins from her purse and handed them to him, "I have something to do in the academy today, so I'll go first." Afraid that Zhang would ask again, she would go to the alley after giving the money. Mouth away.
"Hey--"
Lao Zhang shouted from behind, saw her without turning his head and shook his head again, put the copper plate in the drawer, went inside to pack up, and saw only one mouthful of wontons and one untouched bun, Sighed again.
When going out with something.
He saw a white figure that was very familiar to him, but when he took a closer look, the figure disappeared again.
Is he blindfolded
Otherwise, why do you think that figure looks like Little Li Gongzi? Lao Zhang shook his head and looked at the alley with a puzzled look on his face.
Gu Wuyou walked in the alley alone.
She was used to walking this alley together with two people, but now she suddenly became alone, she felt extraordinarily deserted, it was still early, and the few rays of light leaking from the clouds were not as dazzling as before.
She stepped on the broken light and walked towards the entrance of the alley, her bright little face was full of disappointment.
Gu Wuyou didn't notice that when she walked forward alone, there was actually someone behind her all the time. That person was dressed in white, hid in the dark, and followed her not far or near.
If she turned around, she would definitely see him.
But Gu Wuyou's heart is half lost now, and half wants to find out the truth in the academy soon, so naturally he won't notice that someone is following behind him.
The coachman was a little surprised when he saw her coming out from a distance. In the past, he had to wait for half an hour each time. Today, he came out in less than two quarters of an hour. He jumped out of the carriage and looked at Gu Wuyou's lost expression and didn't dare to be too much. Asked, can only say cautiously: "Miss, shall we go back to the academy now?"
"Um."
Gu Wuyou nodded, not very interested, "Go back to the academy."
"Yes." The coachman replied softly, and after everyone sat down, he raised his whip and headed towards the academy.
The carriage swayed, Gu Wuyou sat leaning on the carriage, the blue curtain flipped up due to the shaking of the carriage, just as she was about to raise her hand to press down the curtain, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a long street standing behind her. The white figure, breathing as if suffocating suddenly.
Looking at the figure, she didn't care that the carriage was still moving forward, she quickly opened the curtain and shouted anxiously, "Stop!"
