In the prosperous part of the imperial capital, there are small bridges and flowing water, and the houses along the water are scattered and scattered.
This row of houses on Hefang Street, many of them are engaged in fengchen business, and you can smell the fragrance of powder from alleys.
In the far end of the alley, a two-story single-family building stands elegantly, and a blue lantern hangs on the terrace on the second floor, adding a misty and rainy green to the autumn colors.
The inner quiet room is very simple and elegant, with a low couch, a small coffee table and a set of purple sand tea sets above it.
Leaning against the window, Gu Jiuge sat sideways in front of the window, stretching his posture casually, and the jug in his hand exuded a clear fragrance.
Da da.
Like the drizzle of spring rain hitting the eaves, the woman's light and slow footsteps sounded on the stairs.
Yingyue walked up with a snack, dressed much brighter than usual, and her eyebrows were full of anger.
"Second Young Master comes over here at this juncture, are you afraid that Yingyue will cause trouble for the Second Young Master again, and will it tarnish your reputation?"
"Why, do you even have to evict me?"
Yingyue pursed her lips and said so, her hand movements were not at all ambiguous, she laid out a few delicate snacks one by one, and glanced at him again.
She used her actions to show how much she welcomes his arrival.
More than welcome.
Since the incident at West Lake, Yaoyue has not dared to look for him again, or even dared to pick up guests and perform art again, just sitting in this small building day after day.
Waiting for him, looking forward to him.
I don't want to really expect him.
"It's not a big deal. There are people in the DPRK who are jealous of my father's position. They are staring at our Hou Mansion these days. I have not done anything shameful when I came to you. Even if it is, I can't shake my father's position."
Yingyue has been with Gu Jiuge for a few years. Knowing his disposition, he seems to be free and unrestrained. In fact, he maintains the reputation of the Gu Hou Mansion, and has always been concerned about Gu Hou's words.
This time braving the limelight to come to her, she was drinking, so she must have encountered something unhappy.
"Since the second son came here specifically to invite Yue, won't he just let me watch you drink the bar? Drinking alone is boring, but drinking with two is interesting."
She walked to the window with the hip flask, and sat down like Gu Jiuge, with butterfly wings spread on the skirt.
"Come on, cheers!"
When the hip flasks touched each other, the sound was crisp and mellow, and the cold wind outside the window hit gusts, and there was a sense of freedom and ease that passed away with the wind.
Gu Jiuge likes to find Yingyue, not only because of her good pipa, but also because of her gentle and considerate disposition.
As long as he doesn't say anything, she won't ask. Such people are very comfortable to get along with.
After drinking for three rounds, he took advantage of the drunkenness to say what he said in his heart, "Do you know that people who are talking nonsense in front of you are half of them. Your Majesty mentioned me and my eldest brother at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. Fortunately, his father declined."
Yingyue had a meal in her hand, and the clear liquor in the jug came out of the corner of her lips, and she hurriedly wiped it off with her sleeves.
"Father said, let's choose the person we like as our wife. He has never considered the right person. But the eldest aunt is coming again. It is really annoying to want to say a kiss to my eldest brother!"
He didn't feel that Mrs. Su was annoying, but that the kiss itself made him feel annoying.
Yaoyue thought for a while, and said, "Because the second son has no one he likes, and he is afraid that Mrs. Su will force a lady who does not like it, such as... Miss Su, isn't it?"
Gu Jiuge raised his head, the arc was sharp, and the protruding Adam's apple rolled up and down.
"You have always understood my mind. I don't want to tell you, you know."
Yaoyue relaxed a little in her heart, showing a slight smile-he had no one he liked, so she was still a woman with a unique meaning around him.
This is enough.
"However, what you said is not quite right. I have a girl I like, but she doesn't seem to like me. No, no, it's not right!"
With the drunkenness, his speech was a little confused.
"She may not know what like is, the kind of love between men and women. She doesn't dislike me, she just likes others more."
I don’t understand the relationship between men and women, I like him, but I like others more...
Yaoyue suddenly understood something, and tentatively said: "Is the woman the second son likes Miss Yufu?"
Gu Jiuge was about to deliver the jug in his mouth, hung helplessly in the air, and finally put it down lonely.
After this release, he was dejected.
"You really are my soulmate."
Although he liked Yufu, at first he liked it like his brother liked his sister. It was not until the night that she fell into the water that she forced her feverish body to prevent Gu Huaijiang from punishing him, and he had a strange feeling in his heart.
Afterwards, he slowly got to know her, only to discover that she had not only the innocence and cuteness of a child, but also many things that ordinary women did not have.
She is generous, no matter who is flattered and flattered, she is not arrogant or arrogant.
She is gentle and kind, caring for the maids in her house, even a puppy.
The intelligence and tenderness of the girl, like a flower in spring, slowly blooming on her body.
He can already foresee, in the near future, why she will grow up waiting for the gorgeous flowers, attracting so many bees and butterflies to race around.
There is a strong competitor in front of us—
The one she likes, the one who keeps calling her elder brother.
Yingyue put the wine flask down, dropped her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly, which turned out to be a painful smile.
