"You shouldn't be here."
Gu Jiuge was sitting in the painting boat. Everything in the cabin was familiar. The smell of Luo Daixiang was very similar to that of catkins.
This is Yue Yue used to use it, so that when people smell the catkins, they can't help but think of her.
"I know."
The Pipa in her arms suddenly seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms, and Yingyue subconsciously hugged her tightly, and her slender knuckles pressed hard on the wooden body of Pipa to become white.
Her tone seemed to be enlightened, but also ignorant.
"Second son, do you remember two years ago?"
She suddenly laughed. It was ridiculous to think of her embarrassed appearance when she first came to the imperial capital.
"At that time, I was about to get into the flames, and you were just a teenager. In a small band on the edge of the West Lake, the old bustard coaxed me to play the pipa, but secretly allowed someone to sell my innocence. Later, I played a song. After the performance, the man was torn and wanted to take me away. Fortunately, the unevenness of your road blocked it, otherwise I am now..."
She paused and smiled sadly, "Otherwise, at this moment, I'm afraid it won't be cleaner than the silt under the lotus."
Gu Jiuge's heart moved, and he laughed at the thought of his youthful spirits.
He felt that he was too young at the time, but he never regretted saving Yaoyue, because she had always been sensible and decent and never made herself embarrassed.
Except today.
"You are not silt now, but the lotus that comes out of silt and remains unstained. You don't seem to be such a restless person, what happened?"
Yingyue shook her head reproachfully, "I'm such a lethargic person, second son, you look too high at me. Even if I am not silt, I can't become a lotus because I have private thoughts in my heart."
Her private thoughts are nothing more than the long lovesickness.
Gu Jiuge has always understood her thoughts, "I understand. But at this moment, there are not only my father, brothers, younger brothers, and sisters, but also the eldest prince, the second prince, and the princess of Danyang, as well as the relatives of the imperial capital. You are at this time It shouldn't have appeared."
"It really shouldn't."
Yingyue took a deep breath, her thin shoulder blades were like the lute in her arms, so thin and pitiful.
"After I got here, I knew that I had done something that shouldn't be wrong, but I have no room to turn back. Someone came to me specially and told me that you are negotiating, and you might marry Princess Danyang. To that At that time, a woman of the wind and dust like me had difficulty even seeing you. So I panicked, and I forgot all the sense and sobriety that you taught me!"
She finally put down the Pipa in her arms, arched her body and covered her face, and wept in sorrow.
She just realized it too.
Even if Gu Jiuge married Princess Danyang, he still had a chance to see him again.
But when she came here today, it hurt his reputation. I really won't see him again in the future, right
Thinking of this, she couldn't cry.
Gu Jiuge has always been a flower cherished person. Seeing the beauty crying in front of her, she couldn't bear it, and finally put her hand on her back.
He patted twice, and what he touched in his palm was her abrupt butterfly bone, thin and pitiful.
"Okay, it's okay. My father was not angry, it was Yufu who resolved the embarrassment."
"Miss Yufu?"
Inviting Yuelei raised her head whirlingly, and looked at Gu Jiuge in a little astonishment, unable to hide her joy.
"I thought you came to blame me, to drive me away, to tell me that you never want to see me again..."
Gu Jiuge shook his head helplessly, and embraced her with one hand.
"Okay, don't cry first. Tell me first, who told you that I want to marry Princess Danyang?"
…
"You mean, someone deliberately told Yaoyue that you were getting married so that she would appear on the West Lake today?"
When returning to the mansion in the evening, Gu Jiuge told Gu Shubai what Yingyue had said, and the two brothers had a discussion.
"Yes, she said that the person who told her about this was a foreign merchant, who seemed to be either rich or expensive. To put it bluntly, she panicked and believed that it was true. She didn't even ask the merchant's name and name."
"Oh, it's a foreign merchant again."
Gu Shu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at him with a smile, "Don't you think this term sounds familiar?"
Looking back on the song of wine, they took Yu to help Jiang Shangcheng Painting Boat. The drunk who was provoking trouble was later arrested by them, and he was actually an outsider.
He came to the imperial capital to sell silk and knew that in the imperial capital, apart from the imperial family, the people in the Guhou Mansion were the least offended.
But when he first arrived, he didn't recognize Gu Jiuge and the others, and it made a noise, causing Yufu to fall into the water unexpectedly.
After the drunk woke up, he heard that the man who had offended him was the son of Guhou Mansion. He was so scared that he didn't look like a lie.
And this time the person who told the lunar lie, happened to be a foreign merchant.
If the two coincidences are added together, it is not a coincidence.
"Brother, do you mean that someone is using foreign merchants to deal with our Guhou Mansion? Those people who don't understand the personnel of the imperial capital, even if they are caught by us, they can't ask any clues. And the people behind the scenes just use this to benefit , I almost hurt Yufu last time. This time I made it clear that I wanted my father to be angry and made Guhou Mansion the laughing stock of everyone!"
Gu Jiuge thought about it, and felt more and more unfathomable.
"We don't have any evidence yet. Just know it in our hearts. Don't say anything. Invite the moon girl or any other girl, and you have to say hello to them, lest things like today happen again. Fortunately, Yufu is smart today. Otherwise you are in danger."
Gu Shubai patted him on the shoulder, in order to persuade him to do it for himself.
"Yufu saw Yaoyue last time, and she seemed to have a good impression of her. This little girl has a kind heart and never underestimates people of low status. I heard that the third brother was given a training last time, and the third brother was depressed. For several days."
Gu Shu raised his eyebrows, "When did it happen?"
"It was during the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, for an actor named Yuguan."
