Princess and the General

Chapter 30: Night tour in Lin'an

Views:

The Dragon Boat Festival is over, and the imperial capital is much busier than usual.

Especially at night.

Dongling Kingdom is rich in products and fertile land, and the imperial capital Lin'an is built along the Yangtze River, which is a rich place.

At night, some people go boating on the river, drink some wine while blowing the river breeze, and look at the scenery on both sides of the river, which is really pleasant.

"Yufu, what's the matter, do you want to go with us? Second brother has booked a painting boat, and we will go boating on the river at night, not to mention how cool it will be!"

Gu Xiang and Gu Yi tried their best to lobby Yufu, wanting to take her out for fun.

Yu Fu was also very moved, biting his lip and looking at Gu Xiang and Gu Yi.

"I haven't visited the imperial capital since I came here, and I also want to go and see it. But the general said that Guhou's mansion is very popular in the imperial capital, and my status is not suitable for going out more."

"That was in the past!"

Gu Yi proudly said: "Brother said, the Dragon Boat Festival banquet was to officially introduce you to everyone. Now that everyone in Mandidu knows that you are the lady of Guhou's mansion, who else would dare to mess with you? Let alone you Follow us out, don't worry!"

"you?"

Yu Fu covered her mouth and snickered, "I'm not at ease when I go out with you! The general usually beats you with military sticks, and following you will only cause trouble, so I won't go!"

Gu Lian hurriedly took a step away, and separated himself from Gu Yi.

"It's him who is often beaten by his father with a military stick. It has nothing to do with me. I won't follow him to take the blame!"

Gu Yi glared at him, "Gu Xiang, you are too disrespectful! My father said before that our names are brothers, each of us has a word, and we are together! Now that you have a bad reputation, you just want to Let me carry it alone? Don’t even think about it!”

As he spoke, he jumped up and hooked Gu Xiang's neck, and the two brothers scuffled together.

If you break my hand, I will twist your arm, and no one will let anyone else.

The two of them are twins, but if you look closely, you can still tell the difference.

Gu Yi looks naughty, but in fact he is physically weaker and not as tall as Gu Xiang.

It is said that Mrs. Hou was exhausted after Mr. Gu was born. When Gu Yi was born, she almost failed to give birth. Granny Wen thought it was a stillborn baby when she held her in her hands, but she was lucky enough to save it later.

"Okay, okay, stop fighting, fifth brother and sixth brother, I'll just go with you. I just want to tell the general, he agrees and we go again."

When the two heard this, they dropped their hands tacitly, "Don't worry, with the second brother here, my father will definitely agree!"

Gu Xiang and Gu Yi's experience is that if they want to go out to play, they must invite one of the brothers, preferably the eldest brother Gu Shubai, followed by the second brother Gu Jiuge.

In the past two years, the third brother Gu Hanmo and the fourth brother Gu Wenqing have also grown up, so there is nothing to worry about when they go out to Gu Huaijiang.

Only Gu Xiang and Gu Yi were left, which made people worry.

Thinking about the night scene of Lin'an, Yu Fu also felt anticipation in his heart.

Gu Huaijiang and Gu Shubai went to the army tonight, and in the evening Yufu and Gu Xiang went outside the gate to wait for Gu Jiuge after dinner, but they saw an unusually gorgeous carriage parked outside the gate, in the light of night. Bright and dazzling.

The outer wall of the vermilion carriage, the treasure cover on the top is inlaid with a circle of rubies, and the four corners of the carriage hang down with bronze horses and tassels.

The finely carved car doors and windows were opened, revealing the rosin-colored interior decoration of the carriage, and the silk curtains hanging down, obviously it was a carriage for women.

Gu Xiang and Gu Yi couldn't help being surprised.

"Is this the carriage from our mansion?"

Gu Hou's mansion is full of men who practice martial arts, and everyone travels on horseback, and rarely uses a carriage.

Looking at this gorgeous and exquisite carriage, it doesn't belong to an outsider, or it was specially prepared for Yufu.

The driver waiting by the side of the car was about to answer when he suddenly saw a person behind him riding a bay red horse slowly approaching, his spirits flying high.

"I ordered someone to prepare it for Yufu, Yufu, do you still like it?"

Yu Fu turned her head and saw that Yao Lan who was following her was all staring at the carriage, looking eager to try.

She honestly replied: "I like it, thank you, second brother."

It is said that Gu Jiuge is the best at pleasing women, it is really not a lie.

No matter in terms of color matching, texture, carving or inlay, this carriage is very in line with women's aesthetics, which makes people have to like it.

But Yufu felt that there was still something wrong.

what is it

She couldn't tell either.

"As long as you like it, get in the car, and we'll set off."

Yao Lan helped Yu to get into the carriage, Gu Yi actually followed behind to get into the carriage, but was pulled off by Gu Xiang.

"Forget the last time you let Yufu live with us, did your father beat you with the ten army stick?"

Gu Yi still can't remember whether a man and a woman can kiss each other or not.

"Isn't it okay to ride in a carriage together? How can there be so many broken rules!"

Gu Yi murmured that he was still afraid of being punished by Gu Huaijiang when he came back, so he honestly followed Gu Xiang on the horse.

All the way from Guhou's mansion to the riverside, Yufu looked at the scenery outside the car excitedly, and was particularly interested in everything in the market.

Gu Jiuge was riding beside the cart, seeing Yufu's eyes light up when he saw the person selling candied haws, he stopped his horse and went to buy two bunches and came back.

One string is naturally for Yu Fu, and the other string is for Yao Lan.

He could see that Yufu treated Yaolan as close as sisters, and the two grew up together since they were young, so they were very close.

Yao Lan saw that she also had a share, and happily took the candied haws, "Thank you, Second Young Master!"

As he spoke, he put the two skewers in his hands and compared them, and handed the more granulated one to Yufu.

Yu Fu took the candied haws with a smile, and lightly opened his small mouth to bite.

"Well, it's so sweet!"

The red syrup is wrapped in the sweet and sour hawthorn, which is both crunchy and soft after a bite.

The crunchy ones were the crushed candies, and the soft ones were the hawthorns. The carriage was filled with crackling sounds, and the two of them ate very happily.

When Gu Jiuge heard the movement outside the carriage, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Two bunches of candied haws can buy happiness, Yufu is really too easy to be satisfied.

She doesn't seem to understand at all that she is now the young lady of Guhou's mansion, she is a favorite of thousands of people, and she can get whatever she wants.

What are two bunches of candied haws

I don't know if she will be so easy to be happy after she realizes this...

"arrive!"

Not long after, Gu Yi's cheers sounded outside the carriage, followed by a gust of river wind that brushed the curtain of the carriage onto Yufu's face.

So cool!

She hurriedly got out of the car, and she saw the vast river with the sound of waves.

On both sides of the river, willow branches dance, behind the trees are scattered high and low houses, and the lights are shining like brocades.

Yu Fu couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"It is said in the book that Lin'an, the capital of Emperor Dongling, is a bridge painted with smoke and willows, with wind and emerald curtains, and hundreds of thousands of homes. Seeing it now, it really lives up to its reputation."

Gu Xiang looked at her curiously, "Yu Fu, I didn't expect you to have studied at such a young age?"
