When Gu Wuyou and the others were eating.
Zhao Chengyou and others also ate at a restaurant next door.
They were newcomers to the capital. They didn't know that Baobin Building's business was so good. By the time the day passed, all the boxes had been booked, and they were all sons from famous families. How could they have the face to sit in the hall to eat? This was transferred to the restaurant next door called "Huibin Building".
Although it is not as good as Baobin Building, the environment is elegant and the dishes are also good.
During the meal, everyone had to talk about their grades again. All of them here treated Zhao Chengyou as a god, and now that the god in their hearts was second, they were naturally a little uncomfortable.
However, Jing Yubai's achievements are obvious to all, so I can't say much.
So after talking, the topic turned to Li Qinyuan, "Didn't that Li Qilang say that he is a stingy? A few years ago, he was at the bottom of every exam, but this time he climbed to sixth, which is really impressive. Surprised."
"Who said no? I heard that he is on good terms with Dean Xu..." Someone said in a low voice, "Could it be that he got the news from Dean Xu early on? Otherwise, how could he have done so well in the exam this time?"
"I also heard that his ranking is so high because he answered well on that policy theory, and that policy theory was written by Mr. Xu himself. Who knows if they did something in private."
It's getting more and more out of line.
Although Yin Xu didn't like Li Qinyuan and others, he still frowned when he heard this, put a glass of wine, and said coldly, "What are you talking about? President Xu was the champion of Yuanqing years. Now he is either a minister or in the cabinet, and his character is highly praised even by His Majesty today."
"Do you want others to think that we can't see them in the air? Or do you want them to think that we can't afford to lose?"
His family background is high, and he is used to being arrogant on weekdays. He never cares about whether others will lose face when he speaks. When he speaks, their face is not a face, and their nose is not a nose. The originally good scene is quiet again.
This should be changed to the past, and Zhao Chengyou must be the one who came out to smooth things out.
But today, he didn't know what he was looking at, he didn't say a word, holding a wine cup in his hand, but his eyes were looking at the street outside the window.
"Chengyou, what are you looking at?"
Seeing that there was no sound there, Yin Xu turned to ask Zhao Chengyou, seeing that he had been looking out the window, he followed his gaze and saw a carriage, "Hey, isn't this Gu Wuyou's carriage? Is she around too?"
Taking another look, he found that there were still carriages from the Qi family and the Jing family, so he frowned again, "When did she get along so well with Fu Xian and the others?"
Zhao Chengyou held the wine glass and didn't speak, but his hand on the edge of the glass tightened a little bit.
Yin Xu didn't like Gu Wuyou, and naturally didn't want to talk about her, so he asked Zhao Chengyou about the New Year's arrangement, "Chengyou, how are you going to spend the New Year this year? Your grandfather's family has no one, so if you feel bored, you can Come back to my brother-in-law's house with me."
"My eldest brother-in-law has been talking to me about you."
"talk later."
Zhao Chengyou said something casually, without waiting for Yin Xu to say anything, he suddenly put down the wine cup in his hand, got up and said, "I'll go out." After he said this, he turned around and walked out without any pause in his footsteps.
"Chengyou what happened?"
"I always think he's been weird lately..."
"I guess it's also for the ranking. Sigh, this is the first time Chengyou has won the second place."
Zhao Chengyou heard all these voices, but he didn't mean to stop. He went straight from the second floor to the downstairs, and then went to a hawker selling candied haws on the street and bought a bunch of candied haws.
He didn't know why he wanted to buy candied haws, but when he saw it just now, he couldn't help but think of what Li Qinyuan said to him that day, "Oh, she also likes to eat candied haws, she obviously thinks the candy outside is very sticky, but I still buy it every time.”
He remembered that Gu Wuyou had also told him a long time ago, that time when they were out shopping, she raised her head when she saw someone selling candied haws, blinked her bright Xing'er eyes, and said to him, "Brother Chengyou. , I want to eat candied gourd, you can buy it for me, okay?"
What did he get back then
He probably refused with a gentle smile, "The things outside are dirty, if you want to eat it, go back and let the cook at home do it."
Probably after that time, Gu Wuyou never mentioned this to him again.
if-
Would the situation be different if he treated her better from now on? The fingertips under the sleeve were gently grasped, and Zhao Chengyou's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
thump thump —
In such a heartbeat, he heard a familiar voice.
It was Gu Wuyou's voice.
With a smile on Zhao Chengyou's face, he turned his head abruptly, only to see the familiar red-clothed girl walking towards the carriage while smiling and talking to a group of people.
At this time, the evening will not fall, and the clouds on the horizon are half white and half red, just like this meandering from one side of the sky to the other, and all the remaining golden light hit the girl, she seemed to be shrouded in that In the golden light, there was a dazzling light from head to toe, which made people look at her involuntarily, and then they couldn't take their eyes away.
Gu Wuyou and Gu Yu got into the carriage hand in hand, unaware that Zhao Chengyou was looking at her opposite, only talking to Li Qinyuan outside the carriage.
After Li Qinyuan waited for them to sit down, he handed her a bag of things in his hand.
"what is this?"
Gu Wuyou was a little surprised, but still took it.
Li Qinyuan said, "Didn't you just say that you were a little tired of eating? I went to buy some sugar snowballs, you can eat them on the road." Sugar snowballs are another type of rock candied haws, but they have been cored and the ones outside are taken away. The syrup is replaced by icing sugar, which is not sticky and convenient to eat.
"When did you buy it?"
Gu Wuyou looked at the bag full of candy snowballs and was a little surprised. Didn't they all stay together just now
no, no...
Li Qinyuan saw that Fu Xian was drunk just now, so he told her to go out to pay the bill. When he came back, his face was a little red and his forehead was sweating, but she didn't think much about it, just handed a handkerchief over. This person actually ran out to buy something for her.
Gu Wuyou's heart softened, and her watery Xing'er eyes became clearer. If it weren't for the crowd now, she really wanted to kiss him.
"elder brother,"
She held the bag of sugar snowballs, her voice soft enough that only the two of them could hear, "Thank you, I like it very much."
This is their name in private. Now Li Qinyuan said it in public, and his ears were red. He didn't want to lose face in front of his brothers, so he coughed lightly, pretending to be indifferent, "Go back first."
Seeing someone obediently nodded and wanted to pull down the curtain, he stopped again, "Wait!"
"Um?"
Gu Wuyou blinked, his face a little puzzled.
"You..." Li Qinyuan looked at Gu Wuyou, and actually had a lot of things to say, such as if you were free on New Year's Eve, and wanted to ask her if she had nothing to say to her, but looking at Gu Wuyou's appearance .
He hesitated and said, "It's okay, be careful on the road."
Gu Wuyou looked at his tangled appearance, a sly light flashed in his eyes, but he still had that well-behaved look on his face.
Hearing that it was all right, she responded obediently and said sweetly, "Then you should pay attention to safety when you go back." After speaking, she waved to Jing Yubai and others, and then pulled down the curtain.
Li Qinyuan watched the carriage go further and further away, until he was among the crowd, then he took his eyes back, turned to look at Fu Xian, still drunk, he shook his head, "I don't know how to drink and drink so much, look back at Aunt Qin. It's time to scold again."
"Ah? Curse, curse for what?"
Fu Xian leaned his entire body on Qi Xu. Hearing the words, he opened his drunken eyes and asked in a daze.
Li Qinyuan: "..."
Too lazy to look at Fu Xian again, he said, "Send him back first." He asked Qi Xu again, "Xiao Xu, can you do it alone?"
"can."
Qi Xu found the servant and carried the man onto the carriage. Only then did he wipe the sweat from his forehead and said to the two of them, "Then let's go first and meet again in a few days."
Li Qinyuan nodded, "Go."
After they left, he turned to look at Jing Yubai, "Let's go too."
Jing Yubai didn't move, but looked at the opposite side.
"What's wrong?" Li Qinyuan followed his gaze and saw Zhao Chengyou. He was holding a string of candied haws and looking at the direction where the Gu family's carriage was leaving. He seemed to notice something and turned his head to look over.
When he saw Li Qinyuan, Zhao Chengyou's expression did not change, but his thin lips pursed slightly. He didn't say anything, just bowed his hands to the two of them, and then turned around and walked towards the Huibin Building.
"Qilang, you have to be careful of him." Jing Yubai looked at Zhao Chengyou's figure and opened his mouth, his handsome eyebrows wrinkled for the first time, and his voice was a little low, "This person is not simple."
"Um."
Li Qinyuan nodded, saw Jing Yubai's worried face, and patted his shoulder with a smile, "I know, let's go."
And the carriage at this time.
Gu Wuyou put the bag of sugar snowballs in his hand on the tea table, ate one by himself, thought about it, and handed one to Gu Yu.
"It's sweet and sour, that's why you like it." Gu Yu pouted, but she still took it over. It's all made by little hawthorn. It's not big, just one bite. Now she's less and less particular about those rules. Now, I will ask while chewing, "You really have no idea about Li Qinyuan's birthday?"
Gu Wuyou smiled and didn't hide it from her, "Of course there is."
She had been waiting for this day for a long time, and besides the general's birthday, how could she have left him alone.
Gu Yu said in her heart, "That's true." She raised her eyebrows and said, "Then you pretended to be serious just now. I think Li Qinyuan was quite disappointed when he left." After she finished speaking, she took another candy snowball. It doesn't look like much, but it tastes good.
"I just wanted to surprise him."
Gu Wuyou's right cheek was bulging, and she could see the traces of hawthorn. She was reluctant to eat it quickly, so she waited for the sugar coating on the outside to slowly dissolve, and then chewed it a little bit.
Gu Yu asked curiously, "What surprise?"
But Gu Wuyou refused to tell her, so she leaned over and whispered to her, "Go to Fu Xian tomorrow and ask Fu Xian for the key to Li Qinyuan's house outside." She knew the key to the general's house, Jing Yu They all have white.
"Also, tell Fu Xian not to tell others, especially Li Qinyuan."
"Why do you want me to go?" Gu Yu frowned, "Can you just go by yourself?"
Gu Wuyou didn't say anything, just held his chin and looked at Gu Yu with a full smile. It's not that he couldn't ask Fu Xianna himself, but... She felt that Fu Xian seemed to listen to A Yu's words.
Although she never said anything on weekdays, she actually saw it better than anyone else. Fu Xian's attitude was a little different when she came back from Dongshan on horseback that day.
The Fu family had many sons. Fu Xian had been fighting outside with the general in her last life, and she was not married before her death. As for Ayu... Gu Wuyou remembered Ayu in her previous life. She married into the Hou residence and gave birth to a pair of children.
Can't tell if it's good or not.
However, Gu Wuyou never saw such a wanton smile on her face.
If possible, she really hopes that the two of them can develop. After all, the Fu family is innocent, and Mrs. Fu is also a good-natured. If Ayu gets married, she will definitely not be wronged.
However, she couldn't say more about these things, she could only see what A Yu meant.
Gu Yu was defeated by her stare, so she could only say: "Okay, I'll get it for you, but can you go out on New Year's Eve?"
"Well, tell Daddy, it shouldn't be a problem to go out, I'll just come back sooner." Gu Wuyou finally finished eating the sugar snowball in his mouth. Bag, now there are a few left.
Seeing that Gu Yu was about to come to get it, she quickly hugged her and whispered, "How much have you eaten? You can't eat any more."
Gu Yu's face was also a little red, but when she thought that she had to run errands for others, she felt a little imposing: "Gu Wuyou, I have to go get you the keys, so you treat me like this?"
"Well."
Gu Wuyou hesitated for a while, looked at her, and then looked at the few sugar snowballs left, and he could only let go of his hands in pain, "Then, I can only eat one more."
Gu Yu didn't listen to her, she took two directly, stuffed them into her mouth, and then looked at Gu Wuyou with a provocative smile.
Gu Wuyou shouted angrily, "Gu Yu!"
The two sisters laughed and returned to the palace.
