Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times - Chapter 61

“This is the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion.” After Fang Zhan introduced to Gu Yun in a low voice, he spread his folding fan and walked over with a smile, “I just got off the counter and happened to pass by your shop, so I stopped by to have a look. Look.”

“Look at it~ Just look at it~” The shopkeeper didn’t cool down because of Fang Zhan’s words, but smiled more enthusiastically.

She looked at Gu Yun who had been standing by the side and looked around, guessing which nobleman this was, “I wonder if this is…?”

“This is Commander Gu, and he stopped by with me to take a look.” Fang Zhan introduced Gu Yun’s identity in time, but he didn’t know whether Gu Yun would mind getting married, so he didn’t mention it. She is also the son-in-law of the Seventh Princess.

After introducing his identity, he raised his chin towards the shopkeeper, “How many good jade stones do you have here?”

As soon as the big shopkeeper rolled his eyes, she just said, this young master Fang brought someone to the Treasure Pavilion, why did he just come here for a casual look?

With a big business, she hurriedly greeted Fang Zhan and Gu Yun and walked upstairs to the box, “Yes, yes! There are all kinds, why don’t you move to the box, and I’ll let someone fetch it for you to appreciate? “

In this way, the two followed the big shopkeeper and went upstairs.

Not long after sitting down, hot tea and snacks were served.

Gu Yun just wanted to quickly pick out the jade that could be polished, and without looking at the snacks on the table, she said softly to the shopkeeper, “How long will it take for the jade to be delivered?”

Only then did the shopkeeper know that it was Mr. Gu who wanted to buy jade.

“Immediately, immediately!” Afraid that people would be in a hurry, she hurried out of the box to urge the person who brought the jade.

After a while, more than a dozen guys in the same costumes entered the box with trays, and then, under the signal of the shopkeeper, placed the trays on the table one by one.

Gu Yun looked up, and heard the introduction from the shopkeeper: “…this is Lantian jade, bright in color, light and elegant in quality.”

Gu Yun looked around casually, and focused his gaze on the other jade stones.

“This is Dushan Jade, which is fine in texture. It is a very popular kind of jade in Beijing.” The shopkeeper picked up the jade that Gu Yun saw and briefly introduced it.

Gu Yun looked at all the jade stones on display. She didn’t know much about them, so she asked directly, “Which kind of jade stone is easier to polish?”

Hearing this, Fang Zhan on the side let out a “huh”, hearing what the son-in-law meant, is she going to polish the jade herself and give it to the princess?

Then he thought that Princess Jianing’s birthday would be soon, could it be that the son-in-law was preparing for it?

“May I ask, are you planning to do it in early August?” He moved closer to Gu Yun and asked in a low voice.

The seventh princess’s birthday is known to everyone, so Gu Yun didn’t deliberately hide it, she nodded: “Madam’s birthday is coming soon, we have to make it before her birthday.”

Fang Zhan smiled knowingly, put away the folding fan, picked a piece of jade from the tray next to it, and put it in front of Gu Yun: “Then this is it, Hetian jade is nephrite, it is easier to polish, and it should be able to catch up with Mrs. Zun’s birthday.” Make it.”

Gu Yun took a look at it in his hand, the material seemed to be quite suitable, and it felt good to the touch.

It’s just that the color is not very good…

“Any other colors?”

Fang Zhan hurriedly asked: “Sheep fat jade is white and delicate, do you want to see it?”

White? That’s even better, it should look like a wedding ring when it’s done.

Seeing her expression, Fang Zhan knew what she was thinking, turned his head and said to the big shopkeeper: “Bring your treasure of the store.”

In this way, the shopkeeper’s eyes were bright, and he went to fetch the treasured jade in person.

A quarter of an hour later, the high-quality suet jade appeared in front of Gu Yun.

She looked at this piece of jade, which was neither big nor small, and pondered for a while.

It seems a bit wasteful to build a ring?

…then create individual jewellery?

Thinking of this, Gu Yun suddenly became enlightened, and without further words, he decided to buy it.

Fortunately, her small treasury is relatively abundant, and with the two hundred and fifty taels of silver note that Fang Zhan gave her just now, she finally got this piece of jade

down.

“Mr. Gu, do you want to make jewelry? If you don’t dislike the small shop, why don’t you let the small shop design and build it for you?” The big shopkeeper looked at the person who was about to leave after paying the money, and hurriedly followed.

Gu Yun didn’t turn her head, and waved her hand: “No need.” This was designed and made by her herself, how could she borrow someone else’s hand?

After getting on the horse, Fang Zhan led her forward, looking at her as if he knew her for the first time, “Do you want to do it yourself?”

Seeing that Gu Yun didn’t refute, he was even more shocked: “You still do these things?!”

He thought of Gu Yun’s identity in the past, why didn’t he hear that she could polish jade? Not to mention designing jewelry styles…

Thinking of this, his eyes flashed a little complicated: “Compared with you, I look rather useless.”

The corner of Gu Yun’s mouth curled slightly: “You don’t have a wife, so you don’t need to do these things.”

Fang Zhan: “…”

This is a bit heartbreaking!

He turned his head away, coughed lightly, shook the fan slowly and decided not to talk to Gu Yun, so as not to hurt his heart later.

It was getting dark.

When it was just getting dark, Fang Zhan led Gu Yun to a building that smelled of fragrance.

Gu Yun looked up, and the light pink long scarf reflected the dim candlelight, fluttering in the wind, like those graceful girls standing beside her were bright and moving.

…This looks like a place for Fengyue!

With a blank face, she turned her head slowly, and looked at Fang Zhan, who was smiling happily beside her: “Is the East City Commander hosting a banquet here?”

“Yeah!” Fang Zhan tugged at Gu Yun’s sleeves before he heard the gnashing of teeth in Gu Yun’s tone, “Let’s go in quickly, although Ma Yinlong is our subordinate, it’s not too late to be too late.” OK.”

Gu Yun’s forehead twitched, and he brushed away his hand holding his sleeve, “I’m a family man, how can I come to such a place?”

She could already smell the smoky smell outside, and she didn’t know what kind of messy smell she was going to get when she went in!

She can’t stand this.

Moreover, when socializing at the Fengyue place, I am afraid that there will be a Fengyue woman to accompany her. She has a wife and children, how can she let others get close? !

“This is a serious banquet, we don’t hold those who have nothing.” Fang Zhan saw Gu Yun’s repulsion, and quickly explained: “Many commanders have also married and have children, and they are already waiting inside. Don’t run away!”

“We are all decent people, just get together and get to know the newly appointed commander-in-chief, you can’t be doing yourself a favor, right?”

Having reached this point, Gu Yun also understood that this was the first time he showed his face in front of other subordinates.

That being said, it cannot be refused.

Gu Yun made up her mind that if those people want her to hug her left and right later, she will use her status as their immediate boss to refuse sternly.

Will not leave them any sympathy.

“Then let’s go in?” Seeing that Gu Yun no longer resisted, Fang Zhan bent down and invited her in.

Walking into Yinchunju, you will see the gorgeous colors of the water.

There are already many people sitting in the lobby downstairs, without exception, they are all hugging a… person in hazy clothes?

Gu Yun looked carefully, only to find that besides men hugging women, there were also men hugging men and women hugging women…

Isn’t it recorded in the book that people in ancient times were more traditional? ? ?

But Gu Yun was only surprised for a moment, then looked away.

Guided by Mr. Gui, the two of them walked up to the brightly lit box upstairs.

Some young women passing by looked at them and flicked their sleeves as thin as cicada’s wings one after another, and suddenly a faint fragrance rushed to the face, causing blood to spurt.

Gu Yun turned sideways, frowned and held her breath silently.

Finally, after being thrown by the sleeves several times, Gu Yun and Fang Zhan finally stepped into the box.

“Yo! The Commander-in-Chief is finally here! We have been waiting for a long time!” Ma Yinlong, the host, looked at the two people who were walking up, and in a blink of an eye, he turned his attention to the face-scarred Gu Yun body.

He has a rougher appearance and a thicker voice, and his roar almost didn’t deafen the people around him.

Gu Yun paused, then followed Ma Yinlong’s greeting without changing his face, and sat in the empty seat above.

“On the road, I was delayed for a while with Commander Fang.” The entertainment in the official arena was just the same thing, Gu Yun straightened his sleeves and dealt with it calmly.

Gu Yun’s reaction was somewhat unexpected in the eyes of everyone.

Originally, this group of people who were not familiar with her thought that she was a smug little boy with no power, and she became their leader only by relying on the name of the Seventh Princess’ son-in-law.

Seeing her calm and indifferent appearance now, these people put away some contempt in their hearts.

Ma Yinlong smiled heartily, picked up the jug on the table, and was about to pour wine for Gu Yun, “For the sake of us all waiting for a long time, you have to punish yourself with three glasses, right?”

The people sitting around also looked at the calm Gu Yun.

“I seldom drink, so I’m a little overwhelmed.” Gu Yun was not familiar with these people. Although Fang Zhan told her that this was a serious banquet, she dared not really let her guard down.

But before she finished speaking, the others began to be dissatisfied.

“Does your lord look down on us? Is it too late?”

“Yeah! Although we don’t have much ability, we will still be under your lord’s hands in the future, and we will be prosperous and hurt together with your lord. Why do you look down on us so much?”

“…”

Gu Yun’s eyes moved slightly, but the expression on his face remained unchanged.

But Fang Zhan couldn’t stand it anymore.

He shook the fan away, and said twice, “You guys! You’re so good at talking! Didn’t the last commander run away just because you told me to run away?!”

“Let me tell you, you are almost done. You have not been here for long, and you are not familiar with everything. You guys, it’s better not to put pressure on you!”

With the words of Fang Zhan, the deputy commander, the others stopped for a while.

However, Ma Yinlong shook the flesh on his face, and insisted on pouring the wine into the cup in front of Gu Yun, “Anyway, my lord is indeed late today, even if you don’t punish me with three cups, you should at least drink one cup.” ?”

“Otherwise, it really won’t give us face!”

Hearing this, Gu Yun laughed softly, and moved the glass filled with wine to the side, “I have given you enough face by coming here.”

As soon as these words came out, there was a complete silence in the box.

Even Fang Zhan stopped shaking his fan.

The originally lively atmosphere was slightly stagnant, and an inexplicable sense of anxiety began to surge around.

Fang Zhan was worried that Gu Yun would really offend this group of people, so he hurriedly stood up to smooth things over, “My lord is really not good at drinking, why don’t you change it?”

With that said, he picked up the hot tea, poured another cup and handed it to Gu Yun: “How about using tea instead of wine?”

With Fang Zhan’s support, although the others were still somewhat dissatisfied, they still didn’t want to say anything more. After all, Gu Yun is not only a small commander-in-chief, but also Princess Jianing’s son-in-law.

With this status, they can’t afford to offend them.

Ma Yinlong also took a step back, “Then replace wine with tea.”

All parties have agreed, and it depends on whether Gu Yun is willing to follow this step.

Under everyone’s gaze, Gu Yun tapped the table with his fingertips, and picked up the tea Fang Zhan handed over without haste.

For the first banquet, let’s be a little low-key.

If you don’t make trouble, try not to make trouble, so as not to make the princess bother to take care of her later.

So Gu Yun also raised his teacup, and after paying respects to everyone, he raised his head and drank the tea in the cup.

The tea stayed in his mouth for a while, and Gu Yun slowly swallowed it without finding anything wrong with his keen sense of taste.

In this way, the tense atmosphere just now became loose in an instant.

Later, under Fang Zhan’s long-sleeved and skillful dance, the excitement returned to this box again.

After a while, when everyone was excited, the door of the room was pushed open, and several women in cool clothes and exquisite makeup walked in slowly.

The eyes of the people around were bright, and they all waved to call the passing woman to their side.

Under Gu Yun’s dumb gaze, the others were already hugging left and right, laughing and joking.

There was another beautiful woman with elegant appearance standing in front of her, holding up the hem of her skirt, intending to lean towards her.

Gu Yun hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her: “Stop!”

The beauty’s eyes were soft, and she seemed a little puzzled by Gu Yun’s rejection.

“I don’t need you here.” Gu Yun’s tone became firm again.

The graceful beauty stood there, at a loss, which made Ma Yinlong’s heart ache. He put his arms around the beauty in his arms, pinched the beauty casually, and said carelessly to Gu Yun, “Why? Your Excellency is not satisfied with this one?”

Before Gu Yun could answer, he had already waved to Mr. Gui in the corner: “Go, let the bustard call some good-looking young men.”

Gu Yun: “???”

If she understands well, the young lady in ancient times was… a male prostitute, right? !

Looking at the situation, Ma Yinlong thought she didn’t like women, so he planned to call a few servants to serve her? ? ?

After a while, the door was pushed open again.

Under Gu Yun’s shocked eyes, three or four young men of various kinds walked in with their long sleeves swung.

Under Ma Yinlong’s signal, these people surrounded Gu Yun.

This caused the veins on Gu Yun’s forehead to pop up, and after avoiding the hand extended by a man, she stood up with a jerk.

“Let’s leave these people to everyone. I still have something to do in my house, so I won’t accompany you today.”

Before she finished speaking, she had already lifted her robe and walked out of the box very quickly.

joke!

If she doesn’t leave, she will be surrounded by those men and women later, she might not be able to leave!

Under the warm candlelight, she pressed her thin lips tightly, and quickly left the extravagant and prosperous Yinchun Residence.

As soon as he went out, smelling the fresh air outside, Gu Yun felt that the whole person was slowly coming back to life.

She was about to get on her horse and go home, but Fang Zhan’s anxious voice came from behind: “Hey! Wait for me!”

She grabbed the reins and looked back towards the gate.

“What? Don’t stay with them any longer?”

Fang Zhan exhaled heavily, and climbed onto the horse, “You’re not mad at me, are you?”

Gu Yun walked in a hurry just now, but he didn’t even react, and there was no one in front of his eyes.

Under the night, there were still many people on the street. Gu Yun drove the horse and walked slowly on the road.

“You know that I already have a wife, but you still lied to me that this is a serious banquet.”

Gu Yun’s voice was a little cold, which made Fang Zhan tremble a little, “Those people are not like this on weekdays. In the past, even when they invited people to get together at Yinchunju, they kept their duties. It’s not like today… Irregular.”

“So I really didn’t know they would do this. You were shocked when you didn’t see me? I even pushed away the woman who was leaning towards me…”

Gu Yun thought about it, and it seemed to be the same.

Fang Zhan seemed as shocked as she was.

After much deliberation, Gu Yun decided to trust him again for the time being.

“In the future, there is no need to invite me to come to such a banquet.”

Seeing that Gu Yun didn’t keep his cold face anymore, Fang Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, “I know, I know. I won’t come here anymore, and I can’t hug or touch. It’s not interesting.”

Hearing this, Gu Yun glanced at him silently.

Poor child, without a wife to hug and hug, even dare not go to the brothel…

…

The Seventh Princess’ Mansion and Chen Yanghou’s Mansion were not in the same direction. After saying goodbye, they parted ways.

The moonlight was as clear as water, and the dim lanterns lit up the surrounding roads.

When Gu Yun returned to the mansion, it was almost Haishi.

After handing the horse to the wooden boat and taking it back to the stable, she slowly returned to the

In the main courtyard.

The house was brightly lit, and two shadows were reflected on the closed windows.

Gu Yun saw the figure of Princess Seven at a glance.

She raised her hand and sniffed her sleeves. She felt that there was no smell, and she shouldn’t be smelling the seventh princess. After that, she walked to the door, pushed the door open and entered.

Hearing the movement, Jiang Libai raised his eyes to look at the door, and there was no emotion in his eyes.

“came back?”
