Back To My Husband’s Youth - Chapter 66

The next day.

Gu Wuji stopped at home and didn’t go to court.

Just after having breakfast, someone outside came to report, “Guo Duke, the acting king has brought Princess Changning here to plead.”

After listening, he didn’t say anything. He poured himself a cup of tea as usual, leaned on a chair, drank it slowly, turned his head and asked Chang Shan, “How is it?”

“I sent someone to ask in the morning. It didn’t matter, I just felt bored, and I kept wanting to go to the academy.” Chang Shan replied with a smile on the side, and then asked the young man outside, “Send Dai Wang and Changning County.” Lord, please go to the flower hall, and he said that Lord Guo has something to do, and wait for the tea to be delicious.”

After listening to Gu Wuji, he smiled and said, “You are now my master.”

Chang Shan smiled without talking.

The young man outside didn’t know what to do, but he waited until Gu Wuji said, “Okay, let’s just say that” before he left.

After they left, Gu Wuji still didn’t leave, drinking tea, chatting with others, and then asking about Gu Jiufei’s situation.

Chang Shan smiled and replied: “Young Master Nine has good muscles and bones, but it may be difficult for him to practice solidly at his age, so his subordinates plan to teach him boxing techniques to strengthen his body.”

Gu Wuji had no opinion on this.

His son has a calm temper, and he doesn’t look like him. He is a pitiful child when he is young. He usually has so many soldiers in his family, and he doesn’t go to war, and training martial arts is nothing more than a solid foundation.

“Li Censhen’s son is not bad.” Gu Wuji who was drinking tea suddenly mentioned such a sentence, and then smiled after speaking, “Better than the Fu family boy.”

“It’s all children. You always have a stubborn face. Which junior is not afraid of you?” Chang Shan laughed at him and refilled him with a cup of tea before he said again: “But this son of Wei Guogong is indeed a good man. .”

“There are so many children from aristocratic families in Beijing, and this Young Master Li Qi invited his master to learn martial arts when he could walk. He was still a man from the barracks. In the situation like that yesterday, if he hadn’t helped out, I’m afraid he might not be able to do so. How about subduing that crazy horse.”

“unfortunately–“

As soon as he changed his conversation, he seemed to sigh, “Since he beat his mother, this child has been out of shape.”

Gu Wuji felt that the child’s filial piety was commendable, and frowned and retorted: “Li Cen Shen’s boring gourd knows about fighting and fighting every day, and he doesn’t have a family all year round. It’s not easy for this child not to go wrong.”

Chang Shan rarely sees him complimenting a person so much. He is still a junior. He can’t help but wonder: “You really value him very much.”

Gu Wuji didn’t take it seriously, but when he looked at Li Qinyuan, he couldn’t help but think of his previous self, and reciting his yesterday’s merits. He opened his mouth and said: “If I can help in the future, I will help. Anyway, I still owe him. To him alone.”

“Yes.”

Chang Shan said amusedly: “If you want to like it, it’s better to hire a princess horse for our princess.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Wuji, who had always loved his daughter, sank his face and cursed angrily: “Your old thing is now more and more insecure!” It’s the same thing that he likes that kid from the Li family. , Recruiting Junma for his daughter is another matter.

Can this be the same?

Gee.

Chang Shan seems to have known such a result a long time ago, and didn’t say anything, just smiled: “You don’t always look down on these children, the princess will be sixteen after the new year, and he will marry someone. “

“Let me tell you, the kid from the Jing family is actually pretty good, with good temperament, and good at school.”

Gu Wuji frowned, still looking unhappy. It would be good if he only regarded them as juniors, but if he regarded these juniors as his future son-in-law, none of them would please him.

I couldn’t drink the tea in my hand, and said lightly, “I’ll talk about this later.”

The acting king Xiao Beiqin had been sitting in the flower hall for almost two quarters of an hour. The longer time passed, the more nervous he became. He was a timid and fearful. His surname was Xiao, but he didn’t even dare to ask for an official position.

Every day I am either teasing the birds at home, or drinking tea and painting, acting more carefully than anyone else.

In order to be afraid of the careless person on the Long Chair, for so many years, he didn’t even dare to ask for a son, and the daughter of Xiao Yi was also at home.

I originally thought that he would have no trouble living this way, but who would have thought that his sensible and obedient daughter would do such a thing? !

Assaulting people in the academy is still the daughter of Ding Guo Gong!

When he learned about it yesterday, he almost fainted on the spot. Originally, he wanted to bring someone over to apologize last night, but it was too late to recite the time, so it would be wrong to come home, so he had to stay up until this morning.

As soon as it broke today, he hurriedly brought Xiao Yi over to plead.

Unexpectedly, when he came, he would not see anyone. Like sitting on pins and needles, Xiao Beiqin really couldn’t sit down anymore. He wanted to ask the young man, but when he saw his eyebrows and eyes closed, he couldn’t spit out the words in his mouth. He was pacing, his eyes swept over Xiao Yi who was sitting on the side, and he was angry again, gritted his teeth and cursed: “You still have the mind to drink tea?!”

Xiao Yi’s gesture of drinking tea paused.

After a while, she didn’t say anything, and put the tea cup in her hand on the high table.

But Xiao Beiqin’s anger is obviously not over. He is like hiding a stomach of fire and nowhere to vent. He can only turn his anger at Xiao Yi and curse in his voice: “I will be pleased later, and Duke Dingguo will let you do it. Whatever you do! Even if you want you to kowtow to Princess Leping, you will take it well for me!”

More talk.

He became more angry, “How did I teach you before? You dare to do such a thing, do you think your life is too long? Or think that our family’s life is too good?!”

Xiao Yi didn’t speak, just clenched his hands flat on his knees involuntarily.

Her nails were originally long, but now they are almost embedded in the flesh, but she no longer feels pain…How can physical pain compare to psychological pain? From yesterday evening to now, everything around her seemed to be subverted.

The father who loved her since childhood complained about her, and the aunts who had respected her before were even more cynic and sarcasm. Even the servants in the family said privately that she was not. Want to laugh.

But the pain on her face made her unable to laugh.

Last night, her good father acted for the first time and gave her three slaps in front of the aunts and servants. This was the first time she was beaten.

She can even recall the emotions at that time, sad, disappointed, and can’t believe it.

She originally thought that even if something like this happened, the father who loved her since childhood would stand by her side. He might be disappointed, angry, and hate iron and steel, but he would take her to solve this problem together.

But no.

Her father just looked at her with an expression of disappointment and disgust, an expression she had never seen before.

At that time, Xiao Yi knew that the love between father and daughter in this world was not like Gu Wuyou and her father. Not everyone did something wrong, someone would help her deal with the aftermath.

She has never been alone.

Disappointed.

Now that Xiao Yi heard these words, she didn’t think there was anything anymore. She pursed her red lips and sat on the chair, using all her strength to maintain her only remaining decent.

“Are you deaf or dumb? Didn’t you hear me?” How much Xiao Beiqin loved this daughter before, and how much she hates her now. He wanted to say a few more words, but there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Looking back, before I saw anyone, I heard a group of small servants and maids calling for peace, “Master Guo.”

His heart was horrified, where was the resentment when facing Xiao Yi? Busily gathered emotions and greeted him.

Gu Wuji walked in outside wearing a normal house uniform with a solemn expression.

Xiao Beiqin was very afraid of the Dingguo Duke on weekdays, and now it is even more so that a prince actually bowed his hand to a prince of the country to greet him, and tremblingly shouted: “Brother Ruohua.”

To put it in the past, Gu Wuji would not accept this courtesy, disdain and bother to take care of it.

But today–

He seemed to take a slack on purpose, and then he frowned when he finished the salute: “My lord, what are you doing? Isn’t it a shameless minister?” He said that, but his face didn’t show any shame at all. the meaning of.

How could Xiao Beiqin know, but where would he dare to say anything?

She smiled shyly and said, “I came to the door to apologize today. This is a burden…” After finishing speaking, he turned his face to Xiao Yi and rebuked his voice, “You bastard, can’t you come?”

Gu Wuji did not speak.

When Xiao Yi got up and came to ask him for peace, Yu Guang frowned when he swept the palm prints on his face.

The princely mansion wanted to discuss the seriousness of the master and the two fathers and daughters in front of him. The palm prints on Xiao Yi’s face could only be attributed to Xiao Beiqin. Although he disliked what Xiao Yi did in his heart, he also looked down upon acting like his father.

“Get up.”

He retracted his gaze, dropped this sentence lightly, and then took his seat.

“Brother Ruohua.” Xiao Beiqin deliberately used a similar name, and said with a grin: “I brought this **** here today to make amends for you and Leping. I didn’t expect this unfilial girl to do such a thing!”

“What do you want to do with it, though, I will never be partial.”

As if worried about his bad attitude, Xiao Beiqin directly grabbed Xiao Yi and pressed the person to the ground, “Asshole thing, you have the face to stand after doing such a thing? Kob my head and apologize!”

Xiao Yi was dragged into a stagger, his knees almost directly smashed into the ground.

She was too painful, but she just clenched her teeth without revealing a cry of pain, and her back was straight, like a green bamboo without twists and turns.

Xiao Beiqin was so angry and hated to see her like this. He really didn’t understand how this obedient daughter from a young age had become so rebellious now? It’s all at this joint, so I still have to fight with him!

Just wanted to curse a few more words.

Gu Wuji frowned and said, “Okay.”

He was not a good temper, and he didn’t come here today to meet the father and daughter arguing. “The prince wants to teach his daughter, he should go home and teach.” Seeing Xiao Beiqin’s face was embarrassed, he looked at Xiao Yi again, his tone was very serious. Faint, his expression is also very pale, “Get up.”

“Thank you…” Xiao Yi opened her mouth. She hadn’t slept all night, and her voice had been dumb. When she noticed the eyes falling on her body, she showed a self-deprecating smile and changed her words: “Thank you Dingguo.”

She stood up with her hands on the ground, her knees still hurting.

But she didn’t shout, just looked at Gu Wuji and said, “I will go to the royal temple to cleanse for a year and redeem my own sins.”

This is a decision she made last night, and she has never told anyone about it.

Gu Wuji was obviously a little surprised, holding the hand of the tea cup, raised his eyes and glanced at the girl in front of him, and saw that her expression was flat and her self-reliant temperament was still there, but she looked much colder than before.

“Have you thought about it?”

Anyone who was sent to the imperial temple for repairs was guilty of serious crimes, such as those nobles in the palace, who could not be put to death, would be sent to the temple… Although it was only one year, it was almost nothing to the reputation of a woman. Mostly ruined.

“Yeah.” Xiao Yi nodded, his expression and voice still the same as before.

Gu Wuji didn’t look at her again, took a sip of tea, and said, “It’s as the princess wishes.”

Xiao Beiqin didn’t seem to expect Xiao Yi to do this. After a moment of shock, he heard Gu Wuji’s sentence and couldn’t help but interject: “Brother Ruohua, look at this, do you just…”

He hadn’t finished saying this. Xiao Yi seemed to be fed up with his face, and even though he was still talking, he opened his mouth and said, “Master Guo, I want to see Princess Leping.”

She still has something to say to Gu Wuyou.

Gu Wuji did not immediately agree, but after watching her for a long time, he invited a maid and said, “Take her.”

The maid responded.

Xiao Yi bowed to Gu Wuji again, and after ignoring her, her father followed the maid out of the house and walked far, and she could still hear her father whisper: “Brother Ruohua, my daughter If you are still dissatisfied, don’t hesitate to deal with it.”

“But I didn’t know what she did. Don’t get me wrong…”

Xiao Yi looked at the bright sky outside, the sun was shining, and suddenly felt very funny. From the time she was sensible, after knowing the situation of her father, she kept telling herself that she must strive for strength and work hard so that her father can stand up in the capital.

She did it too.

After so many years, who in the capital saw her and didn’t praise her?

But she lives in such a way that she has never dared to relax one day. What is it to usher in the end? Her father, for fear that she would injure him, leave her alone, and wish he could not have her as a daughter.

It’s really funny.

Xiao Yi’s eyes were sore, and her knees were still a little sore, but she insisted on walking forward with her back, as if she was afraid that others would look down on it. When she was about to turn into the path, she raised her hand to wipe away the crystal tears at the corner of her eyes.

What she didn’t want to cry was because the wind and sand were too big for her.

Gu Wuyou wasn’t surprised when he heard that Xiao Yi came over.

She leaned on the beauty couch with white fox fur, and the scented peony and green leaf smoker on the high table beside her was curling up with a few scents. It was a tribute to Persia. Her third brother sent him last night. Someone sent it to her.

Holding a free book in his hand, Gu Wuyou leaned on the pillow, did not get up, still sitting in a very relaxed posture.

Before she could speak, Hong Shuang couldn’t help it. She bit her silver teeth and cursed: “She still has a face?” After finishing speaking, the maid who directly rushed outside said: “Get out! Don’t let this screwdriver pick up the dirty people.” Coming broke the master’s mood.”

The maid looked at Gu Wuyou hesitantly.

Gu Wuyou turned a page of the book, and said without lifting his head: “Please come in.”

“Miss…” Hong Shuang curled her eyebrows, looking unhappy.

“It’s always going to be a meeting.” Gu Wuyou smiled, closed the book in his hand and put it aside, and then said to the girl who was calling her: “Go.”

The little girl hurriedly went out and led Xiao Yi in after a short time.

Seeing Xiao Yi coming in, Gu Wuyou didn’t leave. She was still sitting on the soft couch. She was at home today. She was dressed very casually, but she still couldn’t hide her beautiful face, but she was really suitable for heavy makeup.

“Go and pour the tea.” Gu Wuyou ordered.

Hong Shuang hated Xiao Yi to death in her heart, but she wouldn’t lose her master’s face in front of outsiders. No matter how unhappy she would still go to pour tea, Gu Wuyou pointed out another position, “Sit down.”

Xiao Yi didn’t speak, and sat down. When the maid had tea, she looked at Gu Wuyou and said, “I’m here today to tell you that I’m going to the temple for repairs.”

Gu Wuyou was picking up a candied fruit with a silver hairpin.

It seemed a bit surprised by Xiaoyi’s decision, but in the end he only gave a soft “Oh” and picked a good candied fruit in his mouth without expressing any other opinions.

Xiao Yi looked at her like this, and said, “I don’t like you.”

As soon as the voice fell, the two girls in the room frowned first. Gu Wuyou hadn’t changed much. He still leaned on the pillow and looked at her. He raised his proud face and gave a soft “um”. no.

Look at her like this.

Instead, Xiao Yi laughed first. She seemed to laugh so wanton for the first time. She laughed so that tears were about to come out, like a lunatic… She was really defeated.

People who hated her for so many years don’t care if she hates it or not.

Sneered.

She raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes, then straightened her back and looked at Gu Wuyou again, facing her with the same arrogant attitude, “I came here to tell you that I don’t like you, so I won’t be a child. like.”

“It used to be, it is now, and it will be in the future.”

“But I–” Xiao Yi paused for a while, and then his voice lowered, “I really didn’t want you to die.”

She hated Gu Wuyou no matter what, and didn’t want to kill her, but there was no need to say more about these words, it seemed to be justifying herself.

She seemed to be here for this, and got up after speaking, and did not say goodbye to anyone.

Princess Changning, who used to pay great attention to rules in everything and speech seems to have disappeared, but when the curtain was about to come out, Xiao Yi stopped thinking of something, suddenly stopped and looked back at Gu Wuyou, “The matter of retiring, you are Didn’t you know that I did it?”

Gu Wuyou was taken aback.

It’s been so long, she almost forgot, and didn’t hide it from her, nodded, “Yeah.”

Xiao Yi frowned, “Why didn’t you tell me?” She naturally didn’t think that Gu Wuyou was for her, and a thought flashed through her mind. Before she could speak, she saw Gu Yu come in from the outside with a curtain.

She was holding an oiled paper bag and a bunch of candied haws in her hand, followed by a maid behind her, holding a bunch of them.

It seemed that Xiao Yi was there, and Gu Yu stopped, and the look on his face became a little difficult to look.

The two people who had nothing to say before, now they are relatively silent when they meet each other.

Xiao Yi glanced at her and seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn’t say anything… She smiled, and before Gu Wuyou’s answer, she opened the curtain and went out.

Going far, you can still hear Gu Yu’s voice, “Is she here to apologize to you?”

“…Well, that’s it.”

“She… forget it.”

There was a burst of tears at the corner of her eyes, but Xiao Yi didn’t immediately wipe it this time. Instead, she closed her eyes under the clear sky. She didn’t know how long it took before she walked out of the yard.

“Princess Changning, this is not the way to Huating.” The maid could only remind her behind her as she could not walk as fast as her.

“I know.” Without turning his head, Xiao Yi continued to walk out of the courtyard and walked all the way to the outside of the Guogong Mansion. There was a carriage waiting there long ago, and her close maid Chunxi was waiting for her by the carriage. .

Seeing her come out and greeted her, “Princess, are you okay?”

Xiao Yi said, “Let’s go.”

Chunxi hesitated and said: “The princess, are you really not waiting for the prince? Maybe…” Xiao Yi shook his head with a firm attitude, “Let’s go.”

“Yes……”

Chunxi had no choice but to support people on the carriage, and when they were seated, the carriage drove all the way to the royal temple on the outskirts. She poured a cup of tea and said softly: “The slave saw Miss Gu Qi, you touched it. Is she here yet?”

Xiao Yi held the hand of the tea cup for a while before saying, “Yeah.”

“you……”

Before Chunxi could say anything, Xiao Yi closed her eyes. She leaned on the carriage, listening to the bell of the carriage outside, thinking about the days when she was in this carriage and chatted with Gu Yu.

She actually has something to say to Gu Yu.

She wants to say to her “I’m sorry, I let you down”, and also wants to say to her “Those words I said yesterday are not my heart, you are very good, in this life, the best person I have ever met is you… …”

“You never apologize to me, it’s me that I am sorry to you.”

But when she guessed the reason Gu Wuyou had concealed it that day, she suddenly couldn’t say these words. It turned out… it was her who was unbearable.

The wind blew the curtains of the car, blowing the hair in her ears.

She opened her eyes and looked at the scene outside. She hoped that when she came back in the future, she would have the courage to stand in front of Gu Yu and say “sorry” to her.

And on the official road at this time.

Another carriage drove towards Dingguo Gongfu. This was the carriage of the Fu family. In it were Li Qinyuan, Fu Xian, Jing Yubai and Qi Xu.

Jing Yu brewed the tea for nothing, and Qi Xu took a packet of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and ate slowly.

Fu Xian turned to look at Li Qinyuan who was teasing the squirrel. He hesitated and was a little unhappy. “Qilang, do you really like that little pepper?” It was all night, but he still didn’t want to believe it.

But there are some things that he doesn’t want to believe that doesn’t exist.

Qilang ran to his house specially last night, explaining that when the Tianshuyuan was on vacation, he went to see Xiaojiao together. He was so shocked that his eyes were almost staring out, and then when he was still asleep early in the morning, he saw the bedside. Stand alone.

Shichiro hugged a little squirrel and stood by his bed impatiently, and when he saw him waking up, he threw his clothes on him.

Let him get up quickly.

He was confused all the way, and followed Qi Lang to harass Da Bai and Xiao Xu. Now that a group of people are sitting on the carriage, he is finally sober.

Li Qinyuan hugged the little squirrel and was feeding it the peeled pine nuts. Hearing this, he said, “Hmm” without raising his head.

The little squirrel was probably still a little afraid of people. He shrank in his arms and didn’t dare to stretch out his paws when he saw his favorite pine nuts. He glanced at him secretly, then stretched out his paws, and looked at him again to make sure there was no danger. Then continue to stretch forward.

It wasn’t until I finally touched Li Qinyuan’s hand and saw that he still didn’t respond, so he quickly grabbed the handful of pine nuts, lowered his head, and ate a little bit.

Li Qinyuan couldn’t help laughing when he saw its delicate appearance.

It’s really like that little girl.

It was the same at the beginning, approaching him a little bit, and after a long time, I probably figured out what kind of person he was, and then I started to test his bottom line a little bit.

The more indulgent, the more delicate.

But he still likes her very much, and he is happy to indulge her.

This little squirrel was caught by the back mountain behind the college after school last night. In winter, there are few squirrels. He squatted for a long time to find such a little one. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to give it away. Give her something.

It seems that if the relationship is confirmed, something has to be given.

But gold and silver jewelry is too tacky.

The food doesn’t seem to be special.

After thinking about it, he thought about what he looked like when he ate meatloaf with the little girl before. The little girl had a bulging face, her eyes were round and bright, and she was very delicate, just like the one he had met before. It’s like a squirrel.

“It really looks like…”

Li Qinyuan stretched out his hand and carefully touched the squirrel’s fur, with a smile on his eyebrows and a brilliant smile on his face.

He was happy here, but Fu Xian was sad. He didn’t expect that he was defending against day and night. Qilang would still fall into the claws of Xiaojiao. This would make a bitter face and whispered: “How do you like that little Hot pepper?”

I opened my mouth to say something ill of Little Pepper, but after racking my brains, I couldn’t say a word.

Fine.

Now Xiao Jiao has a much better temper, and a much gentler person, and has helped Qirou several times…he really can’t say anything bad about her.

But he was still awkward.

Not only awkward, but also sour!

He has been brothers with Shichiro for more than ten years, and Shichiro is not as good to anyone!

Turning his head to see the little squirrel in Li Qinyuan’s arms. They were so delicate and naive. They were so cute. He liked these little animals the most, but Qilang didn’t touch him. The baby looked like something, Fu Xian couldn’t help it. Said sourly: “You haven’t given me anything, see Luluyou friends!”

Li Qinyuan, who saw her forgotten friend, planned to sit down and ignore him. While continuing to peel the pine nuts for his little squirrel, he said, “What name should I give you?”

This was given by him, but it can’t take those common names, it has to be special.

Jing Yubai was making tea. Hearing that, he smiled and said, “My eldest brother gave my sister-in-law a Persian cat a while ago.”

“Huh?” Li Qinyuan looked up at him, waiting for his later words.

Jing Yubai made four cups of tea with a smile, and then held a cup of tea. He watched Li Qinyuan slowly and said, “I saw that they were raising the cat directly as a son. They are usually ‘sons’, ‘ Cub’ and’Xiaobao’ cried.”

Li Qinyuan was taken aback for a moment, but when he reacted, his face blushed, and he rarely blushed in front of his group of brothers.

Little Young Master Li wanted to say, but couldn’t say anything. He didn’t care about being embarrassed when he heard the little squirrel in his arms squeak. The paw was begging him for food.

Looking at these Wuyou-like eyes, he suddenly muttered in a low voice, “It’s not impossible.”
