Back To My Husband’s Youth - Chapter 97

“what?”

Gu Wuyou had just put on his shoes. Hearing the words, he raised his eyes in amazement, as if he hadn’t heard clearly, and asked, “Who did you say is here?”

Bai Lu smiled, “It’s Li Qiqiong, and the slave was also told by a few little maids when I went out just now.”

Gu Wuyou was still a little dumbfounded, and muttered: “Why did he suddenly come to find the third brother?” It stands to reason that the general has no personal contact with the third brother, so why would he come here at this time?

Although she can’t guess it, she thinks of the third brother’s evaluation of the general when she first returned to Beijing. Her eyelids jerked, for fear that the third brother would not wait to see him or insult him, Gu Wuyou couldn’t stand it anymore. I took the cloak on the shelf and walked outside: “Go, let’s go to the third brother.”

After thinking for a while, he said, “You take the box of Junshan silver needles sent by your grandmother.”

“Yes.”

Entering January.

Although it was still a bit cold on this day, the snow in the old days has long since melted, and today is a clear sky again. Gu Wuyou put on a cloak, and he didn’t take the hand pockets and the heater. … The third brother lives in the outer courtyard, which is some distance away from where she lives.

Because of the Chinese New Year’s sake.

There are not many people in the family, some of them have gone home to visit relatives, and the masters of the family are also… Ayu and aunt went to Liu’s house, Jiufei and Mrs. Fu went to Fu’s house, father and third uncle went to the Fu’s house for a while. The hunting is so busy all day long.

She walked this way, but she didn’t meet a few people.

Two quarters later.

Gu Wuyou stopped panting.

The yard in front of him is where the third brother lives. He is a leisurely and elegant person. His residence is called “Zhuzhuju”. The yard is also named after it, and it is very elegantly arranged. A cobblestone path stretches from the door to the yard, on both sides. I have planted a lot of bamboo, and even though it is still in the cold winter, the lush greenery is still a bit of color.

As the yard went in, Gu Wuyou dug a small pond on his right hand.

There are all kinds of koi carps, very fertile, and there are a few pieces of duckweed left over from last summer. The corners have turned yellow, but there is no depression at all, accompanied by shaking their heads and tails. Koi has a different feeling… There is also a deck chair and a fishing rod by the pond.

Sometimes the third brother would lie on the recliner and fish with a fishing rod when he was free.

I don’t eat it when I catch it, just make it interesting.

A little closer to the pond, there are pavilions and plum blossoms, white-faced walls, blue and black tiles, and a new strip of plum blossoms are drawn to extend outwards. It looks very artistic.

But the left hand side of the yard inside is completely different. If the right side is a fairyland, then the left side is too peasant. Earlier, the third brother didn’t know where to look at things. After he came back, he would be alone. I took a **** and turned the soil, and now there are a lot of vegetables grown there, such as peppers, greens, potatoes, and tomatoes.

Gu Wuyou was fortunate to have eaten it once, but the third brother himself did the cooking. The dishes are good, but the craftsmanship is really hard to swallow.

If she came during her free time before, Gu Wuyou would definitely have to fiddle with the fishing rod and squat in front of the garden for a while, but she was looking for someone today, and she was very anxious. How could she have such a leisurely and elegant attention to these? ?

As soon as she was about to walk in with Bailu, the third brother’s book boy waiter came over with tea.

Seeing Gu Wuyou, he was also a little stunned, but it was just a breath of effort, so he greeted him with a smile and greeted people, “The princess is here.”

Gu Wuyou nodded, glanced at the room, but didn’t hear any noise, “Where is the third brother?”

“Inside, Young Master Li Qi came here today, and the two are talking in the room.” The waiter asked again after finishing his sentence, “Is the younger one going to tell you?”

“No, I’ll go in by myself.” Gu Wuyou said quite calmly, glanced at the tray in the hand of the attendant, and asked Bai Lu to take the tea over, put it on top, and stretched out his hand to the person, “Give it to me. “

In the whole house.

Gu Wuyou’s relationship with Gu Rong is the best, so the waiter didn’t say anything, smiled and passed the tray in his hand, and then took the initiative to lift the curtain for her.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, some of the voices inside came out. It was the voice of the third brother, who was talking about business and local properties, and there was a male voice in between. It should be heard from time to time, or I don’t understand where I heard it. At the time, I asked the last sentence in a humble manner.

Sure enough, it was a general.

but–

How could the general come to discuss business matters with the third brother? Is it possible…

Before she could think of a reason, the voice on the other end suddenly stopped, followed by the voice of Gu Rong mixed with a smile, with some petting, “Why don’t you come in, stupid.” Standing there, what are you thinking about?”

Then another line of sight looked over.

Even if Gu Wuyou didn’t look up, he could perceive that the line of sight falling on him was warm, smiling and indulging.

Her cheeks were a little red, and she didn’t know that it was because her third brother said that she was stupid in front of her, and she was heard by others, or it might be because of other reasons. In short, she was embarrassed to raise her head, lowered her head, and whispered in a low voice: “I see you are talking lively. I’m afraid to disturb you.”

Finished.

She just walked over in small steps.

Put the tray on the table, and handed the box of tea from my grandmother to Gu Rong, “I know that the Junshan silver needles from my grandmother, I know the third brother likes it, so I brought you a box.”

“Oh?”

Gu Rong took it amusedly, “We Xiaowu also know that it hurts people? Last time I asked you for a sachet, why did you refuse.”

Li Qinyuan seemed to have noticed something, and couldn’t help asking: “What sachet?”

Gu Rong smiled and said to him: “The day my Xiaowu came back, I picked a lot of plum blossoms at Jintai Temple. I thought that she wanted to make a sachet and asked her to ask for it. Who would have thought that this little girl would just refuse. It broke my heart.” After he finished speaking, he bent his fingers and tapped Gu Wuyou’s head lightly, and then said with a smile: “You still have a conscience, the third brother didn’t hurt you in vain.”

The owner of the sachet——

A smile was drawn at the corner of Li Qinyuan’s mouth. His eyes looked at Gu Wuyou for an instant, but his slender fingertips involuntarily reached the purse at his waist.

My heart is warm and soft.

“…Brother.”

Gu Wuyou’s face turned red when she heard this, especially when she saw Li Qinyuan’s smiling eyes, her small face burned even hotter, for fear that the third brother would make her red face because of something else. She was really used to being with Li Qinyuan. After getting along, this will not ask Gu Rong, but Li Qinyuan: “Why did you come to find third brother?”

Li Qinyuan smiled and said, “I’m here to ask Gu Sange something.”

Gu Rong looked at the question and answer of the two, rather strange. The dialogue between the two seemed to be very familiar, or they had been together a few times in private, so they were able to be so familiar with each other…but he also Without thinking about it, he put the box of tea aside in his hand, and continued to add for Li Qinyuan: “Qi Lang intends to go into business and come to ask me about business matters. It happened that today I was free and invited someone over.”

After he finished speaking, he smiled and said to Li Qinyuan: “It just happened that you came by coincidence. The people below just sent a few fishes yesterday, and the vegetables in the vegetable garden are also very delicious. Since you are here, you will stay with me today.”

“I’ll cook.”

Gu Wuyou was still immersed in the general’s stunned business, but when he heard this, he wrinkled his nose and said with a look of disgust: “Brother, you still don’t want to cook, so you don’t have to look for a doctor when you look back.”

Gu Rong, who was always wise, didn’t react at this time. When he understood, he smiled angrily, “You girl—”

Besides, the voice of the book attendant came from outside, “Three young masters, supervisor Xu is here.”

Xu Song is his confidant. He is in charge of Beijing-China affairs for him on weekdays. He will come at this time. Naturally, he has something to report. Gu Rong said, “Let him go to the side hall, I will go right away.” Yes, Gu Rong didn’t wait much, stood up, and said to the two of them: “Sit down for a while, and I will go back.”

Li Qinyuan got up to see him off.

Gu Rong casually took a blue and white cloak and put it on him. When he was about to leave, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the two people behind him, and suddenly he stopped at his feet. The two behind him were about the same age. They were handsome and beautiful young girls, and they looked like when they were standing together. , Gave him a feeling that the two are newlyweds.

He shook his head and kicked the thought out of his mind.

He hesitated whether to call Xiaowu to go back first. Before he could speak, Gu Wuyou looked at him innocently, and said in doubt, “Brother, what’s the matter with you?”

Gu Rong: “…It’s okay.”

Maybe he thinks too much. Besides, Qilang had saved Xiao Wu at the beginning, and it is normal for the two to get acquainted with each other. If he mentioned asking Xiao Wu to leave at this time, it would make people think more…Thinking about this, he too He didn’t say anything, and walked out.

Waiting for someone to leave.

Gu Wuyou turned his head, and just about to talk to Li Qinyuan, he found that the young man was standing behind her, still looking at her with his eyes down.

The distance between the two of them was just one finger. She turned her head, and the hair draped on her shoulders could hit him. The scent of plum blossoms on his body could also be smelled by her…have not been a few days Seeing her, the sudden closeness made her face that had only been calmed before suddenly reddened again.

“Why don’t you speak?”

“Why do you suddenly want to start a business?”

The male voice and the female voice sounded in the room at the same time, because of this tacit understanding, the awkward atmosphere just eased a lot.

Li Qinyuan smiled and touched her head, then took her hand to lead people into the seat, poured another bottle of water for her, and then spoke, instead of answering Gu Wuyou’s words, but listening to it a few days ago. A paragraph here.

“You also like the traffickers, and it doesn’t matter if you are inferior?”

Perceiving Gu Wuyou’s dumb eyes, Li Qinyuan’s lips smiled thicker, and his final voice rose up, hooking people, “Little girl, do you really think so?”

“You, how do you know?” Gu Wuyou was really stunned. She didn’t expect that Li Qinyuan would hear what she said with Zhao Chengyou that day, but this is not something that needs to be concealed. She blushed for a while and said truthfully :”Yes.”

When she spoke, she kept looking at people, her eyes didn’t dodge, “I think so.”

Li Qinyuan originally wanted to tease her. Seeing that she promised to be so brisk, he froze first. After a while, he shook his head and laughed. He put his hand on her face, and brushed her eyebrows inch by inch with compassion. The voice is also exceptionally gentle: “Do you know that women get married, the glory of the natal family is not counted before, it all depends on the husband.”

That’s why there are so many women in this world who choose to marry high.

Gu Wuyou nodded, “I know.”

Li Qinyuan asked again, “Then you know, if I don’t take the title or participate in the imperial examination, I will be just an ordinary person. You may not be able to participate in those tea parties with celebrities in the capital in the future. When others mention you, they will think how you got married. Such a husband.”

“It is very possible that we will be bullied.”

Gu Wuyou pouted, “I didn’t like those banquets either.”

Seeing Li Qinyuan still looking at her for an instant, waiting for her answer, Gu Wuyou pursed his lips, put his hand on his arm, raised the pair of Xing’er eyes, and said to him seriously, ” Brother, what I told you, no matter what kind of person you are, I like it.”

“I like you, not because of what kind of identity you have and what kind of glory you can bring to me.”

“I like you just because you are Li Qinyuan.”

“Even if you can’t inherit the title, even if you can’t enter the court as an official, even if you are just an ordinary trafficker and **** in the future, it’s nothing…” Gu Wuyou’s eyes were crooked and he smiled, “Besides, you still have its me.”

“With me, no one can bully you.”

She is the lord of Leping, the little overlord in Beijing, who dares to bully her?

The little girl’s voice was gentle, she was a little whispered when she talked, but it passed into Li Qinyuan’s ears, but it seemed to be heavy, which made his heart feel a bit heavy and satisfied and happy.

He didn’t say anything, it’s just that the force in his hand became softer, and the gaze looking at her became softer.

This is the person he likes–

She has her own glory and pride, and she never needs to rely on others to get anything.

The reason she likes him is very simple, so simple that people can’t believe it, but it made him feel surging and excited, she couldn’t help but leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead as if she was treating a rare treasure and cherishing it. And gentle.

Still at home, I don’t know when the third brother will come.

Gu Wuyou was nervous and shy, but he was reluctant to hide, so he blushed, pulled his sleeve, and said angrily, “Still at home.”

It seems that as long as he is not at home, he can do whatever he wants.

Li Qinyuan is full of blood, how can he resist the little girl’s softness, if it is not for a little self-control, I am afraid that he will really become the prostitute and bully… I am afraid that if this continues, it will really catch fire.

He coughed slightly, let go of his hand, and returned to the chair.

He drank the cup of tea that had been cold for the most part on the table again, and then talked to her about business affairs in a dumb voice, “I didn’t want to do business all of a sudden.”

“During this period, I thought about it for a long time. I want to enter the court. Except for Yinfeng this road, I will participate in the scientific examination, but the official positions of Yinfeng are some idlers, and I don’t like it. “

“If it’s a scientific examination–“

He paused slightly, and did not hide it at all. Instead, he told the truth, “Although my results are good this time, I know very well that this time the argument of the policy argument is too novel, and this helped me get points. I asked Mr. Xu in private. My basic knowledge is much worse, and the article is too sloppy. The scholars in the officialdom may not like it.”

“and……”

Take the imperial examination and enter officialdom.

Either he went to Hanlin to go to the cabinet, or like his uncle, he went out for a few years, accumulated fame and experience, and then worshiped high-ranking officials.

But there is a simple one, that is, go to his father’s barracks, go to the battlefield, tired of feats… It’s just that he can’t be peacefully with his father now.

Didn’t say this.

Instead, I continued to talk about business affairs with others: “I have liked arithmetic since I was a child. When I was stubborn, I also ran with people a few times. In the past few days, I also ran a few places and asked Gu Sange’s opinion.”

“I……”

Even though the previous statement was full, but when he really discussed this with Gu Wuyou, he still hesitated. Looking at Gu Wuyou’s clear eyes, he was silent for a long time before whispering, “I want to try.”

When exporting, he was still a little uncertain.

Gu Wuyou didn’t think about it so much. After listening to him, she smiled and said, “Then try…” She didn’t think there was anything wrong with doing business. Besides, Tianjia is also focusing on business now. It even opened up a barrier for overseas trade to encourage everyone to do business.

The status of merchants is not lower than before, but now the status of merchants is much higher.

In a few years, businessmen like his third brother, even if they don’t have official positions, will be respected by many aristocratic families as guests of honor, and later they will even be knighted separately by the heavenly family.

She believed Li Qinyuan.

Her general will succeed no matter what she does.

but–

“You need a lot of money for business, do you still have money?” Gu Wuyou twisted Liu’s eyebrows, “I still have a lot. In addition to the dowry my mother gave me, I also have a small vault…” She never counted. Have passed these, but there should be quite a few.

“If you don’t have enough, take it from me first.”

“Otherwise, I will turn my head and let Bai Lu sort it out and bring it to you.”

Every time he contacts Gu Wuyou, Li Qinyuan will get to know her more, even if he knew that she didn’t care about his identity, but he really heard these words, his heart was still very hot, as if a volcano was hidden in his heart. In my heart, I couldn’t help but want to burst out.

As long as she is willing to believe him.

So no matter how difficult the front is, he will hesitate to hesitate and no longer hesitate and fear.

“No need to.”

He spoke, his voice a little dumb, but the smile on his face was very bright, even brighter than before, “I have money.”

His mother left him money when he went, and her dowry shops have been making money all these years… Seeing the little girl have to say something, Li Qinyuan raised his hand and stroked her head, his eyes were soft, and his voice was very gentle. , Like a stream of gurgling water, “If I am not enough, I will ask you to get it again.”

Gu Wuyou nodded when he heard this, and then looked at him worriedly, “Then you must tell me, don’t carry it alone.”

Li Qinyuan was too soft, “Okay.”

When Gu Rong came in, he happened to see them talking and laughing. He changed his clogs, raised his eyebrows and asked as he walked, “What are you talking about, so happy to talk?”

Li Qinyuan smiled, “It’s nothing.”

After that, he got up and crossed his hands again. “In the past few days, Brother Gu has taught me a lot. I don’t want to pay for it. If the third brother doesn’t mind, I will be the chef for today’s lunch.”

“can you cook?”

Gu Rong was a little surprised, but didn’t say anything. He nodded, “Everything is in the kitchen, I will take you there.” As soon as the voice fell, Gu Wuyou, who had been sitting obediently, took the initiative: “I will take him.”
