On the second day after returning from Dongshan, Langya's students also arrived in the capital.
The academy specially sent a few outstanding students to pick up people, and there were people talking about this all over the academy. Although Gu Wuyou didn't pay attention to these matters, he heard a lot of discussions along the way.
Especially Pingshuozhai——
Several noble ladies sat around and talked about this matter, and Zhao Chengyou was the one who talked the most.
The first place of the Kongshan Academy, the prince of Yongan Hou, the first prince of Langya... These three names are enough to attract attention, not to mention that this Yongan Hou Shizi is a rare and beautiful man, just temperament, I heard Also extremely lenient.
Gu Wuyou came to school with Gu Yu today.
However, when they were halfway through, Gu Yu met someone from the Daiwangfu who came to talk to Xu Fu about Xiao Yi's withdrawal from school, and the two separated first. Gu Wuyou would walk towards Pingshuozhai by himself, and before that When I walked into the academy, I heard the people inside talking about Zhao Chengyou.
"Ashu, haven't you been to Langya before? Have you ever met this Prince of Yongan Hou?"
Qu Shu has a gentle temperament, and is older than the people in the school. Now that she heard this, she turned her head and said softly, "I went to Langya to visit relatives, and I rarely go out on weekdays, and I have never seen that. The Prince of Yongan Hou."
After she finished speaking, there were laments one after another in the room, and some people muttered softly: "I don't know how the Prince of Yong'an looks like? I see that the Langya group is about to blow him to the sky."
Qu Shu laughed: "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I have heard from a few cousins that the Prince of Yong'an is indeed a handsome man..." She seemed to be thinking about how to compare it better, she tilted her head and thought for a while before saying "In ancient times, when Pan An went out, there was a saying that he threw fruit in a cart, and this Prince of Yong'an was not bad."
"I heard them say that every time the prince of Yong'an went out, there would be a lot of noise in the streets. Those unmarried girls and young ladies either threw flowers or handkerchiefs at people. Once, the prince's carriage was blocked by the season. The flowers are so full, from a distance, it looks like a flowerbed is planted on the top of the carriage."
Seeing that she actually compared Pan An with Zhao Chengyou, the group of people who had been lamenting suddenly became excited again, and they chased Qu Shu with bright eyes and continued to ask.
When Gu Wuyou heard these words, he didn't really want to go in.
Although she is now in peace with the people in Heping Shuozhai, there is still a layer of things behind her. If she goes in at this time, I am afraid that they will not be able to chat so happily. After thinking about it...
Gu Wuyou still planned to go out for a walk, it was still too early to leave for class.
She turned around and walked outside, the discussions behind her were still there, but what Gu Wuyou could hear most clearly was the sentence, "But if this prince is really so good, why did the Princess Leping break off the marriage with him?"
These words reached Gu Wuyou's ears with the wind, causing her to stop every step of the way.
Why
Gu Wuyou raised her eyes to look at the glistening sky outside the corridor, her red lips pursed lightly, because the Zhao Chengyou in their eyes was not the real Zhao Chengyou at all.
Zhao Chengyou in the eyes of the world is gentle, kind, and respectful, and there is almost no flaw in him, but what about Zhao Chengyou in her eyes
Shady, gloomy, and domineering, he's a badass bastard.
Gu Wuyou sometimes looks back and thinks about the past, the days she lived with Zhao Chengyou. At that time, she probably really fell in love with Zhao Chengyou.
A proud person like her, from childhood to adulthood, she was unwilling to accept any grievances, and she lived a life of wanton publicity, relying entirely on her own mind, and always wanted to be happy for herself, regardless of what others thought.
But in front of Zhao Chengyou
She swallowed all her grievances, watched her self-esteem and pride being trampled under her feet, watched him lead the newcomers to the house, watched his gentleness and generosity on the surface, and pretended to be extremely kind. , but when there was no one in private, he grabbed her hand and shattered her strong support with harsh remarks and sneers, "Don't you like me? Don't you like me so much that you can do anything? Why, like this Not happy?"
She still remembers...
Gu Wuyou closed his eyes, listened to the weak voices of discussion carried by the wind behind him, remembered that the man stood in front of her later, raised her chin with his slender fingers, rubbed her face with the pads of his fingers, and lowered his eyes. He smiled at her slowly, "Gu Wuyou, why do you fall in love with a bastard like me?"
yes…
How did she fall in love with such a bastard in the first place
There was a sudden bump on the shoulder, Gu Wuyou's slender and thick eyelashes were like butterfly wings, fluttering violently a few times, and then slowly opened his eyes, it was Gu Yu.
She was looking at her worriedly, and when she saw her eyes opened, she frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you? I called you several times, but you didn't respond."
"fine… "
I don't know if it was because she was immersed in the unbearable memories of the past, which made her too painful. Gu Wuyou's voice was a little hoarse. When she noticed Gu Yu's frown in disbelief, she showed a smile again. When asking questions, he was the first to speak, "Let's go, it's time to go to class."
"… Um."
Gu Yu nodded and walked side by side with her. After thinking about it, she turned her head and hesitated, "Are you really okay?"
Gu Wuyou smiled and shook her head, her voice soft, "It's okay, I was thinking about something just now." She said very lightly in the second half of the sentence, without waiting for Gu Yu to ask, she asked again, "Where is the Daiwangfu? How to say?"
Speaking of this.
Gu Yu frowned, lowered her head, and her tone was also a little unhappy, "Now the concubine Zhou is in charge of the current palace, and the person who came here is unknown. It took me a long time to find out that Xiao Yi went to the royal palace that day. The temple brought Chunxi alone."
"Several concubines in her family don't like her very much, and now her father doesn't care about anything, and she doesn't know..." She sighed and lowered her voice, "How is Xiao Yi in the temple now?"
Hearing this.
Gu Wuyou did not speak. There was no such thing in the previous life. She remembered that Xiao Yi had always lived smoothly. When she returned to the capital later, Xiao Yi had already married and had children. She lived a worry-free life and had a smooth life. .
She didn't feel guilty because her arrival brought Xiao Yi into the current situation.
All the fruits are created by oneself and have nothing to do with others.
she just...
Turning her head to look at Gu Yu, seeing her slender brows slightly wrinkled and her red lips pursed lightly, she knew that she was not in a good mood at this time, Gu Wuyou thought about it, and asked softly, "Then what are you going to do?"
"I--"
Gu Yu couldn't really ignore Xiao Yi at all, but she thought that Xiao Yi had hurt Gu Wuyou again, and she had a terrible headache. After a few hesitations, she said: "I'm going to find someone to send her some money over there."
With money, she can live easier.
It's just, that's all she can do, no more.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Gu Wuyou didn't say anything.
There was no more talk about Zhao Chengyou in Pingshuo Zhai. A group of people greeted them with a smile when they saw them coming in. Gu Wuyou was attentive and had a keen eye on others. She could sense that their gazes on her had some Curious and doubtful, she is probably still thinking about why she broke off with Zhao Chengyou.
She didn't show anything, just smiled and responded to their greetings.
There were two classes in the morning, one was for Nvhong, and the other was for playing the piano. Gu Wuyou had just finished Nvhong, and there was a two-quarter-hour break in between. Before she could take a sip of tea, a waitress came to look for her. , said that someone was waiting for her at the moon gate.
Gu Wuyou felt amused when he heard this.
Recalling that when she was riding a horse yesterday, her general said to her with a look of grievance, "We haven't seen each other for several days," and she couldn't help raising the corners of her lips.
Reluctantly suppressing the smile on his lips, he said to the waitress, "Okay, I understand, you go down first."
"Yes."
Wait for the waitress to back off.
Gu Wuyou glanced at Gu Yu and saw that she was talking to the people around her. She seemed to be preparing for the afternoon riding and archery class. After saying "go out", he went out through the back door.
When she was leaving, she remembered taking a small handful of candy from her small satchel and stuffing it into her purse.
The general has been studying hard these days, so he must be rewarded!
With this kind of mood in mind, Gu Wuyou walked all the way to the Moon Gate. She had walked this road countless times, and even if she closed her eyes, she probably wouldn't go in the wrong direction. She was probably in a happy mood, and her footsteps were not the same. Very brisk.
When he walked to the Moon Gate, Gu Wuyou originally thought that Li Qinyuan must be waiting for her in the woods, but just as he was about to go there, he saw a back.
The man was standing under a towering tree. He was very tall. He was wearing a large blue-white cloak embroidered with flowers and bamboo leaves. .
Xu Shilin was very windy, and his black hair was being gently carried by the wind, and he could vaguely see a white jade-like outline.
Hear movement.
He turned and looked over.
Looking at that person's face, Gu Wuyou seemed to be stunned, the steps under her feet stopped in place, the purse that was swaying around her hand also stopped because of her dazedness, and the heavy purse stopped at the place. The fingers were a little heavy, but she didn't seem to notice it.
She just looked at the figure not far away.
While she was looking at the man, the man under the tree was also looking at her.
That person really had a very good appearance, with dark eyebrows, a handsome face, thin lips that pursed slightly, a pair of peach blossom eyes ruthless and three-point affection, and the temperament of the whole body is like hot spring water in winter. It is also like a white jade pendant without flaws.
He really can afford the words "The son is unparalleled, gentle as jade".
But Gu Wuyou looked at this familiar figure but just wanted to turn around and leave, but the steps under her feet seemed to be frozen on the soil, she couldn't take a step away.
And at this moment-
The man under the tree finally moved. He walked towards her step by step under the sunny sun, with towering trees and golden light behind him, but he walked calmly and smiled until he walked in front of her. Just stopped, lowered his eyes and opened his mouth, his voice was as clear as a clear spring.
He said, "Manman, I'm here to take you home."
