The princess's handkerchief tightened tightly.
Xiao Liulang settled the bill and left with Gu Jiao.
Don't look at her expressionless face at the moment, as if she is not at all drunk, but Xiao Liulang can see that she is really drunk.
Just... pretending to be serious.
Xiao Liulang took her soft but calloused little hand and stepped out of the restaurant.
The Crown Princess looked at the way the two went in and out, ignoring the gazes of the people around them, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Even though her reason told her that this was not A-Heng, but a lowly illegitimate child, she still couldn't help thinking, if A-Heng was still alive, would she have grown into such a charming man
It's not that Xiao Heng in the past was not handsome enough, but Xiao Heng at that time was still childish, and it was the beauty of a child. Although it can also amaze the time, it will not make people miss it.
Unlike today's Xiao Liulang, who has a unique temperament between a boy and a man, his appearance, his aura, and even his aloofness and alienation from thousands of miles away, all make women fascinated by him.
He seems to be taller than the prince, Xiao Heng was not even the prince's chin before his death.
"Linlang?" The prince called her.
The crown prince's eyelashes trembled slightly: "My handkerchief is dirty, I'll go to the carriage to get a new one."
She said and got up and walked out.
She didn't get into the carriage, but followed in the direction where Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao left.
The two turned into a small alley, Gu Jiao didn't leave, she crouched on the ground and drew circles.
Xiao Liulang looked at her funny: "Why don't you leave?"
Gu Sansui: "I can't walk anymore."
Xiao Liulang: "Then what should we do?"
Gu Sansui: "It takes a kiss to leave."
Xiao Liulang squatted down and looked at her deeply: "Are you sure?"
Gu Sansui nodded.
Xiao Liulang kissed her on the forehead.
Gu Sansui stood up, but still didn't leave.
One kiss is not enough.
When the princess followed to the entrance of the alley, what she saw was the ambiguous scene of the two in the alley.
In the dark alley, there were two slender figures, Xiao Liulang pushed her against the wall, wrapped one arm around her back, put his arms around her slender waist, and hugged her whole body into his arms, while the other hand buckled her. He settled on the back of her head and lowered his head towards her.
Across the thick night, the Crown Princess still felt the possession and tenderness of this man.
He clearly has a strong domineering aura, but he restrains it carefully.
How could he... how could he...
"Linlang, Linlang, Linlang!"
The prince shook the princess' shoulders.
The princess suddenly returned to her senses, she had already returned to the prince's side, but her mind was filled with the appearance of Xiao Liulang bowing his head and kissing Gu Jiao.
Far away, she didn't really see it, but that ambiguous aura filled her entire chest like flames...
She calmed down and smiled awkwardly: "Your Highness."
The prince looked at her puzzled and said, "The food is cold, why don't you eat it? I called you just now and you haven't heard it for a long time. What are you thinking about?"
"I..." The princess was at a loss for words, her mind was a little confused.
The prince frowned: "Is it that Xiao Liulang? You feel like you've lost your soul when you meet him. You remember A-Heng, right? You haven't forgotten A-Heng!"
The Crown Princess lowered her eyes and said, "Your Highness, calm down, I wasn't thinking about him, but about the girl beside him."
"That ugly woman with a birthmark on her face?" The prince was still suspicious.
In order to clear the suspicion that she was thinking about A-Heng, the Crown Princess had to bite the bullet and put the topic on Gu Jiao's body: "Your Highness, do you know who that woman is?"
"Who is it?" The prince asked casually.
The princess said, "She is with Xiao Xiuzhuan, isn't the prince curious about who she is?"
The prince said indifferently: "Zuo is either his wife or his concubine, or the flowers and plants outside. This kind of thing is often seen in isolation, and there is nothing to be surprised about. What I am curious about is that this Xiao Liulang is no matter what. She is also the champion of the new division, why did you find a woman with such an ugly appearance?"
"She is the daughter of the Marquis of Ding'an," said the Crown Princess.
The prince was startled: "Miss Gu? I've only seen Miss Gu before, she doesn't look like this!"
The Crown Princess said warmly, "The second Miss Gu family whom Your Highness saw, a country girl who had been in the wrong arms since childhood, just now this one is the straight daughter of the Hou's mansion."
"Oh." The prince suddenly realized, "I just remembered, I have indeed heard of such a thing."
No wonder the prince didn't take it to heart, but there are many people in the capital, big mansions, aristocratic families, more than this shitty thing.
The prince frowned: "Then she..."
The Crown Princess said, "She is Xiao Liulang's wife. The two met in the countryside and became a relative. Only after they got married did they realize that it was the wrong daughter."
The prince snorted: "So it seems that Xiao Liulang is lucky. A poor boy in the countryside who casually married a small village girl turned out to be married to the daughter of the Hou's mansion. Although it is a bit ugly, his identity is not bad in the end."
The Crown Princess paused for a while, and then said, "Kechen concubine heard that this Miss Gu has never returned to Gu's house."
"Why didn't you come back?" the prince asked suspiciously.
"I don't know." The Crown Princess shook her head.
The prince thought for a while: "Perhaps she is too unworthy of the stage, and the Ding'an Houfu can't afford to lose this person."
The princess shook her head slightly: "The prince knows the bellows..."
Halfway through the words, a hearty laughter came from the door of the courtyard: "Second brother!"
"Fourth!" The prince's eyes lit up, and he waved to him, "Why are you here? Hurry up and sit down!"
"Didn't I hear that their family opened a new store? I happened to be passing by here, and I never thought that the second brother was there." The fourth prince came to the table for two, and bowed his hands to the princess, "Second sister-in-law. "
The princess smiled and nodded.
The brothers had their own words, and the topic just now did not continue.
The princess silently drank the sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed in the cup.
On the other side, Xiao Liulang took someone home.
This time, the osmanthus brewed wine is too strong, it is not comparable to the wine Xiao Liulang brought back from the provincial capital and Gu Chengfeng's pear brewed wine, Gu Jiao will not be able to go home.
She slammed herself face down on the soft bed and fell asleep!
Gu Jiao slept too deeply, and when she woke up, several men in the family had already gone to work and went to school.
Yu Ya'er came in with a bowl of hangover soup: "Miss, are you awake? My uncle told me before leaving that you must have a bowl of hangover soup after you wake up."
Gu Jiao was all right, but since it was Xiang Gong's intention, she still drank it obediently.
She went to see Yao's, and Yao's was fine, but... the fetal movement was strange.
"I don't move all the time, I'm afraid it might be..." Yao shi didn't say anything about the inauspicious words.
Gu Jiao took out the stethoscope and listened to the little guy's fetal heartbeat: "It's normal, don't worry."
Yao Shi held back for a long time, and then said aggrievedly: "He (she) is so lazy."
Except when Lord Gu came here, the little guy moved so much that he wished he could kick it all over with his little feet, and he remained motionless for the rest of the time.
If her daughter hadn't had a way to hear the little guy's heartbeat, Yao shi would have thought that something was wrong with the little guy in his stomach.
"Isn't that the case with the first child?" Gu Jiao asked.
"You and Yan'er are so cute and noisy in the womb." Yao Shi couldn't sleep all night, she felt very hard at that time, the pregnancy was very comfortable, but she felt uneasy again.
Gu Jiao nodded: "Well, then, maybe it's really a lazy baby."
Yao Shi's stomach bulged.
Like a silent protest.
Gu Jiao went to the hospital, but unexpectedly, she saw Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong followed Gu Houye to build a mansion outside these days, and he may not have returned to the capital for a long time.
"Miss." Huang Zhong bowed respectfully.
"Is something wrong?" Gu Jiao asked.
"Ah, it's like this, Lord Hou asked me to bring some silver notes to the young lady." Huang Zhong said, and took out a golden box from his arms, "This is one thousand taels, please accept it, Miss."
"Oh." Gu Jiao accepted it.
Huang Zhong was stunned.
No, Miss, is your reaction not right
Why don't you ask Hou Ye why he suddenly sent you a silver note
The truth is that the old Hou Ye learned from nowhere that the Hou Ye cut off the little son's monthly money. Thunder was furious, and he repaired the Hou Ye Haosheng for a while, and then forced the Hou Ye to open his small vault and took a sum of money. The silver asked him to send it to the eldest lady.
Forget it, the eldest lady is so eccentric, even her own father would beat her when she said she would beat her. Do you still expect her to play cards according to ordinary people's routines
Huang Zhong gave up the treatment, only the things that should be explained must be explained clearly, he continued: "This thousand taels are for the eldest miss, thank the eldest lady for taking care of the young master, in addition, there are 10 taels of silver in it. The money is for the little son. From now on, the government will send two dozen taels of silver to the little son every month."
Gu Jiao snorted: "I see, I will hand it over to Ayan."
In the evening, Gu Jiao came home.
Gu Yan, who was shoveling chicken and cake, got the twelve months' money that Gu Hou Ye gave him, and he akimbo laughed three times!
"Little monk!"
He found a small clearance in the vegetable garden in the front yard, and proudly shoved a shovel and a small dustpan into his small hand: "Okay, from now on, you can shovel chicken cakes yourself!"
Xiao Jingkong frowned and looked at him: "Are you slack at work again?"
Gu Yan raised an eyebrow and smiled, bent down, took the two silver ingots in front of him, and said proudly, "Did you see it? What is this?"
Xiao Jingkong glanced at him sideways: "Are you stupid? Come and ask me about it!"
"Hey—" Gu Yan gasped in anger, he squatted down on one knee, looked at the little guy and said, "I mean, I have money, I can repay the money I owe you, and it will be in the future. No need to take part-time jobs to pay off your debts!”
"Really?" Xiao Jingkong stretched his tone and gave him a suspicious look.
Gu Yan said: "Of course it is! This is real money, if you don't believe me, go ask Jiaojiao!"
Generally four-year-old children do not recognize the specific specifications of silver, but the small renter began to collect rent more than half a year ago, and he is still very familiar with silver.
"It's twelve taels." Xiao Jingkong said.
"Yes, it's twelve!" Gu Yan nodded.
Xiao Jingkong snorted: "Do you know how much you owe me?"
These words stopped Gu Yan from asking.
Yes, how much did he owe the little guy
Xiao Jingkong put down the small shovel and dustpan, took out a small ledger from his arms, turned it over, and said to Gu Yan seriously: "You borrowed a total of fifty taels from me, which is one-third of the interest, which means that , the monthly interest is one or two and a half, and you are in debt for a total of nine months, and the total interest is thirteen two and a half."
Gu Yan was stunned: "But, but I've worked so long, what's the matter!"
Xiao Jingkong shook his head helplessly, and broke it up for him to calculate, using no abacus, so he directly calculated mentally: "You have four main sources of income - feeding the chickens once a day, five coins; walking the chickens once a day, five coins. ; Clean chicken cakes once a day, five coins; praise me once a day, 10 coins."
Gu Yan was confused: "Why are you praising you for so much money?" I didn't think there was anything in the past, but now I listen to it carefully, and it feels very pitiful!
Xiao Jingkong said solemnly: "It's not because I have too many advantages, it's easier for you to make money, I'm thinking of you!"
Gu Yan's face, I look so fooled
Xiao Jingkong: You are really good at fooling you in your studies!
Xiaojingkong cleared his throat, opened a page, looked at the data on the ledger, and continued: "But, you haven't praised me for eight months! You only praised me for one month, a total of three hundred copper coins; you Sweeping the chicken cakes one hundred times, five hundred coppers; slipping the chickens twenty times, one hundred coppers; feeding the chickens thirty-five times, one hundred and seventy-five coppers. A total of one tael of silver and seventy-five A copper plate, plus the ten taels of silver you have on hand, is eleven taels and seventy-five copper plates."
When he said this, he closed the small ledger, and the little adult sighed, "Your entire net worth is not enough to pay me interest."
Gu Yan was stunned: "This... this... "
Xiao Qingkong turned another page: "I haven't counted you feeding my chick, and I will deduct 100 coins. If you say I'm not cute, I will deduct 500 coins!"
Gu Yan frowned: "Why are you deducting so many!"
Xiao Jingkong said, "Little Eight steals chicken food three times, and the fraction will be removed for you, and two hundred copper coins will be deducted."
Gu Yan looked at the little stupid dog.
Hachi was lying on the ground, covering his eyes with the dog's paws.
Can't see it can't see it can't see it can't see it...
Gu Yan was so angry that you actually ate chicken food! Do you remember being a dog!
Gu Yan gritted his teeth: "I me me, how do I know if you memorized it casually?"
Xiao Jingkong said frankly and confidently: "I have Jiaojiao sign every time I make an account. Jiaojiao is the guarantor. If you have any questions, you can ask Jiaojiao directly."
Gu Baobao is aggrieved.
Gu Baobao does not say.
Xiao Jingkong took the small ledger back into his arms, bent over and picked up the small shovel and dustpan on the ground, put it in Hui Yan's hand, and patted Gu Yan's...
Originally wanted to pat on the shoulder, but unfortunately he was too young to pat Gu Yan's thigh, so he had to pat Gu Yan's thigh instead: "Okay, now you can go shoveling chicken cake, brother Yan, come on!"
Gu Baobao: Woo~
