Back To My Husband’s Youth - Chapter 95
After setting off the fireworks with Li Qinyuan and talking for a while, it was Haishi (nine o’clock in the evening).
Bai Lu was a little anxious, afraid that someone would find it too late to go back, so she walked over and whispered: “Princess, it’s late at night, we should go back.”
As soon as Gu Wuyou heard this, the smile on her little face disappeared. She hadn’t waited enough yet, and wanted to stay a little longer… Looking sideways to see Li Qinyuan next to her, her face couldn’t be covered. Lost to live.
Although Li Qinyuan was reluctant, he did not force him to stay.
For him, it was enough to have an experience like this at night. He was also worried about going back too late. He raised his hand and touched her head, his eyes drooping slightly, and he said softly: “Go back, a few minutes later. I will find time to see you again.”
Gu Wuyou knew that he was probably comforting her. During the New Year’s Day, how could it be so good, but it was hard to say anything. He could only nod his head, looked at him eagerly, and whispered: “Then…I I’m leaving.”
“Ok.”
Li Qinyuan put on a hood for her, and when he hid the face tightly, he said: “I will send you out of the alley.” The roads are difficult at night, and the people living here are all three-in-class people. He is afraid that people will come across. What a mess.
“it is good.”
Gu Wuyou’s carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley.
Bai Lu was holding the lantern in front, and Li Qinyuan slowly walked behind with Gu Wuyou’s hand. The firework show at the East City Gate was coming to an end, but there were still a few golden lights on the horizon, and the fireworks exploded. At that time, it can split half of the night into day.
You can see it without carrying a light.
The snow on the ground hasn’t been cleaned yet, but the small road has people coming and going, and the snow has almost dispersed, a thin layer, and when the shoes are stepped on, they will make a sound of “squirting”.
They walked this way and it was not quiet. New Year’s Eve is a day for family reunion, and these Li people are also the same. When walking on the road, they can hear the closed doors of the people on both sides laughing joyously across the door. .
When coming.
Li Qinyuan felt lonely and deserted when he heard this.
But now holding Gu Wuyou’s hand, he felt so relieved that even the corners of his mouth could not help but gently twitched.
Thinking of what his grandmother said to him a few days ago, Li Qinyuan couldn’t help but want to tease Gu Wuyou, he gently hooked her palms, and then pressed his voice and said, “Do you know that we have seen it before? of.”
Gu Wuyou, who was still immersed in “Go back so early, can’t talk to the generals so much”, was stunned when she heard this, she raised her head blankly, the thick fox fur on the edge of the hood covered her. Most of his face can only see a pair of eyes that are as bright as stars.
“We met for the first time, isn’t it Jintai Temple?”
I thought it was the first time they met at the Academy, but the general had already said that he had seen her as early as the day at Jintai Temple, so she took this day as their first meeting.
Could it be that they have seen it before?
Li Qinyuan didn’t speak, but just looked at her and smiled.
Just as Gu Wuyou was about to ask, he heard Bai Lu’s voice from the front, “Princess, it’s almost at the entrance of the alley.”
“Go ahead.”
Li Qinyuan stopped and retracted her hand. Under her dazed gaze, he twisted his fingers and knocked on her forehead. He smiled and said, “Go back and think about it, tell me the next time.” He stopped talking.
Gu Wuyou least likes to say that half is hidden and half is hidden, and now he feels itchy in his heart as if he was gently scratched.
He blinked his eyes and looked at him, with some kindness, holding the sleeve of the man with his hand, and refused to let it go, “You remind me to go down, when and where?”
How else could she guess it?
And she really doesn’t remember that they met before.
Not to mention anything else, the face of the general, if she had seen it, she would definitely not forget it.
Li Qinyuan refused to say, but looked at her with a smile, “No, guess by yourself.”
“Brother~”
Gu Wuyou still wanted to act like a coquettish with others, and Bai Lu’s urging sound came from the front, “Princess, we should go.”
She pursed her lips unhappily. Seeing Li Qinyuan still refused to say, she had to withdraw her hand discouragedly and looked at him eagerly, “Then I will go now.”
“Well, I watched you go.”
Li Qinyuan nodded and just looked at her like this.
Gu Wuyou also knows that if he goes back late, the family must be worried. Even if she doesn’t give up, Bailu helped her into the carriage. After she sat down, she raised the driving curtain and glanced outside, Qing Lengyue. Under Huaxia, a young man dressed in a dark green cloak stood with his hands in the alley.
There are mottled alleys on both sides, and there is a willow tree with dead branches. Everywhere is desolate, with traces of time.
Only he is still that vivid.
Xu was aware that she was looking at him, and the young man, who had no expression just now, raised his eyes and smiled at her.
He seldom laughs, but looking at the way a person smiles like this is particularly intoxicating. Li Qinyuan always said that when she laughed, there seemed to be stars hidden in her eyes, but only she knew that when he laughed. , There seems to be a moon hidden in his eyes.
When the stars hold the moon, everything fades away.
“Go ahead.”
Far away, Gu Wuyou couldn’t hear what Li Qinyuan said, but he could still see what he said from the one-piece mouth, and his face was filled with a bright smile again.
Gu Wuyou didn’t speak any more, and waved at him.
When the carriage slowly drove towards the Guogong Mansion, and when Li Qinyuan behind her gradually turned into a small figure, she slowly disappeared, and then she withdrew her gaze.
But Li Qinyuan didn’t really stand still.
There were so many people on the street tonight. He was worried that Gu Wuyou might have something wrong. Although he could not go with her, he rented a horse nearby and followed them not far away. He planned to send her home safely and come back. .
And on the carriage at this time.
Gu Wuyou thought about what Li Qinyuan had said to her earlier, and couldn’t help asking: “Bai Lu, have I met Li Qinyuan before? Before returning to Beijing this time.”
Whenever she went out, she would almost always bring Bailu with her, even if she had forgotten, Bailu, as her personal maid, could not forget.
“Prince Li Qi?”
Bai Lu curled her eyebrows and thought for a while, “You used to rarely return to Beijing except for the Chinese New Year. Those princes and young ladies would even attend banquets even less, and I heard that this prince Li Qiqi dislikes these things the most. I never participated.”
“It stands to reason that you and him have never met.”
Gu Wuyou thought the same way. There was no general in her memory at all, but when he saw him just now, he felt that they had actually seen it before.
He never lied to her, no matter what it was.
“If you really want to see it, it may have happened before you were five years old. Then you are still in the capital, and the slave has not yet come to serve you.” Bai Lu reminded, “If you really want to know, it’s better to look back. Please come and ask Mother Meng. She has followed you since she was a child. She should know these things best.”
“Mum Meng, has she gone home?”
“Not yet.” Bai Lu smiled. “You gave her such a big decent. She said that she would kowtow to you tomorrow and leave after a new year.”
Gu Wuyou smiled helplessly when he heard the words, “Then when I got home, please come and ask Mother Meng.” Thinking of another thing, he asked, “Daddy’s almond tofu let anyone buy it?”
When Bai Lu nodded, she said nothing.
The carriage continued to drove slowly towards Dingguo Gong’s Mansion. Gu Wuyouan sat on a chair and turned a few pages. When approaching the Guo Gong’s mansion, she suddenly heard a “call” from the coachman outside, and followed closely. With the car swaying, even the tea on the tea table rolled over several times, as if it was about to be poured out.
Fortunately, Bai Lu held on in time.
She glanced at Gu Wuyou worriedly, “Princess, are you okay?”
Gu Wuyou shook her head. She just felt that the car body swayed. It was not a big problem, but Liu frowned and asked, “What happened?”
“Slave asks.”
Bai Lu put the tea cup in her hand, calmly, raised the curtain, and said angrily: “What’s the matter with you, I don’t know the princess is sitting in it?”
The coachman was also taken aback. He was holding the reins, turning his head and saying, “Bai, Miss Bailu, yes, someone stopped the car…”
“Who is so bold? Gu’s car dare to stop!”
Bai Lu was trained by Mrs. Wang and she has managed the yard for Gu Wuyou for so many years. She speaks very grandly and dignifiedly. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a figure walking out from the dark shadow in front of the carriage. The blue-and-white large cloak with embroidered bamboo leaves has a long body shape and a face like a crown jade.
It was a familiar face in the memory, but it seemed to be different from the past. She stared at the visitor blankly, her voice was a little hesitant, “Zhao Shizi, why are you?”
Gu Wuyou sitting inside frowned when she heard this claim. She didn’t speak or set off, only her fingers holding the booklet curled up involuntarily.
“I want to talk to Gu Wuyou.” Zhao Chengyou said this. He didn’t look at Bai Lu, but stared at the curtain on the other half of the car and spoke.
Bai Lu always feels that Zhao Shizi tonight is not the same as in the past, just like a beast with no open fangs dormant in the thick dark night, which makes people panic. Although she is afraid in her heart, she still has no deviation in her body. The person behind him said firmly: “Zhao Shizi, our county chief has returned home, please give me a favor.”
Zhao Chengyou raised his eyes lightly and glanced at Bai Lu, ignoring her, and then took a step towards the carriage.
With the light on in the carriage, he could see Gu Wuyou’s Ping Ting figure standing outside. He pursed his lips and said with a lower voice, “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
It’s not as gentle as it used to be, but it’s a very faint and heavy voice, but if you listen carefully, you can detect the forbearance of anger, “From Xushi to Haishi, for a whole hour, your concierge said you are out, and I have been Waiting for you here.”
“Gu Wuyou.”
Zhao Chengyou suppressed his voice, and his dark eyes seemed to be filled with two whirlpools. He looked at the figure behind the car curtain under the lights, as if he couldn’t hold back anymore. He took a step closer, and his voice was tainted with anger, “You are just like that. Like him? I like it to the point that I have to go out to accompany him even on this kind of day?!”
Bai Lu paled and shouted, “The son of the world should be careful!”
Although there is no one here, and the coachman is an honest man, he dare not say anything, but if he opens his mouth, it is not good for the reputation of the princess.
Zhao Chengyou only raised the corners of his lips when he heard the words, showing a sneer, but still did not look away. He came over after dinner today, happily when he came, holding the gift he carefully prepared for Gu Wuyou, thinking about her expression when she received it.
Too much happened during this period, but it just made him think clearly.
He was not very good to Gu Wuyou in the past. He blindly knew that he would accept what Gu Wuyou was good to him, but he never knew how to give, but now he is willing to treat her better, or more than some.
This gift was made by him himself, it is a ceramic doll.
It took him a long time, from kneading the mud to drawing the glaze and finally applying the glaze, all by himself. Even the last kiln was fired, he hired the master and stared at it himself.
For twelve hours, one day and one night, his eyes were red, and he didn’t get his ceramic doll until dinner.
After so long, he didn’t feel tired at all. For the first time in his life, he did something that was of no benefit, but he didn’t feel it wasted time. There was even some joy. The baby’s eyes were crooked and he laughed. The look is also very sweet, very similar to Gu Wuyou…
After eating.
He hurried over.
Thinking that Gu Wuyou would be very happy when he received it.
She has always been like this, a little thing can be satisfied.
But he didn’t expect that Gu Wuyou was not in the Guogong Mansion at all. The concierge said she was going to watch the fireworks, but he knew that she was looking for Li Qinyuan.
The joy he had in his first cherishment, with the passage of time, finally turned into a long backlog of anger. That’s why he walked over without saying anything before Gu Wuyou’s carriage appeared. He was even here. For a moment, it was a bit of a disguise that could not be maintained for many years.
No matter what others might think, he just wanted to question her.
A sharp sarcasm sounded again in the dark, “What can he give you? A dude who doesn’t train his parents, has been wandering around for so many years, and has not even inherited the title. What do you like for such a person!”
“It was obviously not like this before you…”
His voice suddenly weakened again, his eyes looking at the figure were complicated and indistinguishable, his voice was decadent and unwilling, and some grievances, “You used to, obviously liked me the most, you still said that you waited for your female celebrity to improve. I will make a pair of knee pads for me.”
“Gu Wuyou, you didn’t do it.”
Zhao Chengyou stood on the spot, holding the brocade box, with a low voice like a child who hadn’t gotten sugar.
It was the first time Bai Lu saw such Zhao Chengyou. She frowned. Just when she was about to speak, the curtain was lifted.
In the carriage, the exquisite girl is the same as before, but the face that always smiles on weekdays is extremely indifferent at this time. She sits on a chair, and the twelve pomegranate red horse-faced skirt is flat. And obediently adhere to the body.
Wall lights are hung on both sides of the carriage.
Against the backdrop of the shining candle, Gu Wuyou turned his head and lowered his eyes slightly. Some condescendingly looked at Zhao Chengyou. It seemed that after watching him for a while, he said indifferently, ignoring the rest of the story, and just answered the first words: “I I like him, no matter what kind of person he is, no matter what he does in the future, no matter whether he can inherit the title or not, I like him.”
Still not enough.
She pursed her lips, took a look at him, and then added, “Even if he is a trafficker and a low-ranking person, I like him.”
She didn’t seem to expect that she would admit it so calmly.
Zhao Chengyou’s breathing suddenly became rapid, and his eyes widened, as if he was afraid that the beast in his heart could not be suppressed. He clenched his fists, his upper and lower lips trembled slightly, and the emotion on his face disappeared. After all, he looked at her with anger and deep gaze.
“Bai Lu, let’s go.” After Gu Wuyou finished speaking, he didn’t look at him again, but indifferently told Bai Lu.
“Yes.” Bai Lu quickly put down the half of the car curtain after responding, and then did not look at Zhao Chengyou, but instead scolded the coachman who was still being bluffed, “Not leaving?!”
“Yes Yes Yes Yes……”
The coachman was holding the reins and wanted to drive the horse away, but Zhao Chengyou was standing there, his face was embarrassed, and Bai Lu frowned, “Zhao Shizi, there is the Guogong Mansion in front of him, and you don’t want to make a ugly mess in the end.”
Zhao Chengyou’s expression changed slightly, but he still did not move away.
There was a stalemate outside again. Gu Wuyou sitting in the carriage seemed to feel annoyed. She raised the curtain again and was about to scold him. But looking at Zhao Chengyou who was staring at her outside, she thought of Zhao Chengyou just now. In the past, I suddenly frowned, looked at him suspiciously, changed his words and asked: “Zhao Chengyou, you don’t really like me, do you?”
Zhao Chengyou’s face suddenly changed strangely.
If it is to coax Gu Wuyou on weekdays, he will naturally open his mouth to “Like, I like you the most”, but today, he somehow became very sensitive to this sentence, as if admitting it. A sentence of like will lose his face.
He thought, he didn’t like Gu Wuyou.
He just wanted to use her. Naturally, when using her, he was willing to give some of his kindness and treat her better.
But it’s just that.
Gu Wuyou watched his look change several times, but couldn’t say a word. She felt strange in her heart and he was relieved. She knew that Zhao Chengyou didn’t like her at this time.
In fact, even after Zhao Chengyou repeatedly said that she liked her, she didn’t believe it.
Zhao Chengyou’s love is more like a thing that has long belonged to him. One day he suddenly doesn’t belong to him, so he will be nervous, afraid, unwilling, and will do everything to take it back, but if it’s this Something will belong to him again. Will it really be cherished and cherished as he said?
But not necessarily.
This man will always only love himself.
This is a typical egoist. Even if he likes a little bit, he can ignore it in the face of interests.
Gu Wuyou understood it a long time ago, so what he said later became very common again, and it was not sad at all, “Get out of the way, I’m going home, don’t make it so ugly.”
“I can afford to lose this face, but what about you?”
“You don’t want the streets and alleys of the capital to talk about you about Zhao Shizi tomorrow.”
The firework show was over long ago. At the end of the night, the noisy city just now has become a little quieter. I don’t know how long it has been before Zhao Chengyou, who had been staring at Gu Wuyou, finally moved away.
Gu Wuyou didn’t look at him again, but lowered the curtain, and told the coachman: “Let’s go.”
“Yes!”
Fearing that Zhao Chengyou would stop him again, the coachman hurriedly raised his whip and rushed in the direction of the Guogong Mansion.
And what about Cho Seungwoo?
His slender hands are still holding the brocade box, and the eyes that usually don’t smile and are affectionate are now like two dead water. His thin lips are tight, and the look on his face is very gloomy. Looked at the direction Gu Wuyou left.
Suddenly noticing something, he turned and looked behind him.
It was not far behind him.
There was a young man with a dark green cloak sitting high on the horse. He didn’t know how long he had been here. He looked at the direction the carriage was leaving. Xu Ye found that Zhao Chengyou was watching him. Li Qinyuan lowered his eyes and looked at Zhao Chengyou faintly. .
I didn’t expect Li Qinyuan to be here.
It’s not even clear how long he stayed here, how long after listening, Zhao Chengyou’s face changed several times, and finally he gritted his teeth and said nothing, and walked towards his carriage.
Li Qinyuan glanced at him, not caring, but continued to look in the direction of the Guogong Mansion.
Gu Wuyou’s carriage had already been turned into the Guogong Mansion and was gone, but he did not leave immediately, but continued to sit on the horseback. He happened to see Zhao Chengyou being stopped in front of the carriage when he came just now.
Just about to pass.
But he didn’t want the horseshoe to hear Gu Wuyou’s words before he even approached.
-“I like him, no matter what kind of person he is, no matter what he does in the future, no matter whether he can inherit the title or not, I like him.”
-“Even if he is a trafficker, and the most inferior person, I like him.”
Li Qinyuan didn’t expect to hear such words from Gu Wuyou’s mouth. After being astonished, he felt as if there was a warm current in his heart. The happiest thing in this world is that no matter what you do, there are people who are looking forward to you.
The smile on his face seemed uncontrollable.
He was holding the rein in one hand and propping it on his chest with the other hand, where his heart beat like a drum, and his eyes were always looking in the direction of the Guogong Mansion.
I do not know how long it has been.
He just retracted his gaze and returned to the direction he was riding a horse.
“drive!”
In the harsh cold wind, the young man was dressed in a big cloak and a half-collared fox fur. The horse led him to run wild in the dark night, and the smile on his face seemed to illuminate the whole night.
