Moonlight, flowing water, cloud colors, jade falling on the Tianhe, green mountains and snow.
Gu Qingyan was An Huajin's love at first sight. Even if she hated him to death, even if he gave her a chance to kill him, she still wouldn't do it to him.
An Huajin feels that he has little potential, so he is very self-aware.
She left Lanfang Pavilion and planned to return to the An family's old house.
We can't go to the eldest princess's mansion for the time being, lest the eldest princess catch her and try to persuade her to marry Gu Qingyan. At the same time, she feels that she is ungrateful, blind and even Gu Qingyan dares to look down on her.
p>
Why doesn't she like it? She likes it so much!
When she didn't know who he was, she saw his face. She was good at painting and didn't have any paintings. She sent his portrait to His Majesty's jade case and accused him of being involved in the eldest prince's private weapon-making case. After knowing who he was,
In the end, I was so filled with hatred that I didn’t even think about doing anything to him.
An Huajin pursed her lips, as if her body was contaminated by his cold plum fragrance. Just when she wanted to smell it carefully, a cool breeze blew in at night, blowing away the heat around her and blowing away the lingering scent of the cold plum fragrance.
Dispersed completely.
She frowned and stood in the cool breeze for a while, then shook her sleeves fiercely, got on her horse, and walked out of the Eighth Street Hongpin Alley.
After An Huajin left, Gu Qingyan sat there and didn't move for a long time.
Until someone came out from behind the screen and reminded softly, "Sir, it's late at night."
Gu Qingyan nodded, picked up the wine in front of him and drank it slowly before speaking warmly, "What did Prince Shan do after he brought Chu Chen back to his house?"
"Prince Shan imprisoned Chu Chen in the ancestral hall and asked him to meditate on his past."
Gu Qingyan laughed and said, "Prince Shan is also interesting. I have underestimated him. A prince who can stay in the capital and live as well as in Prince Shan's palace should be impressed by him." After saying this, he stood up and said,
"You must have heard what she just said! Tomorrow, someone will take the bill to Prince Shan's Mansion, and have Prince Shan fingerprint his fingerprints to settle today's account."
"Yes!"
"I really can't offend her." Gu Qingyan smiled again, but for a moment, the smile faded and he rubbed his brows, "If I had known her temper earlier, I would have just... let's go back home."
The dead of night does not apply to the Hongfenxiang of Eight Streets. This is a bustling place that never sleeps, and teahouses and restaurants are still bustling.
The drums are beating, and the capital has fallen into a deep sleep, not including the Eighth Street and Hongfenxiang, which are still brightly lit with music and music.
Gu Qingyan left Lanfang Pavilion and returned to the Gu family along the dark road.
The centuries-old ancient house of aristocratic families reveals a rich heritage. The ancient pines and cypresses cover the sky and the moon in the middle of the night. The deep courtyard of the house is quiet and deep everywhere.
Gu Qingyan walked along the bluestone road to his Luoxue Pavilion, opened the courtyard door, and saw Mr. Gu standing under the eaves. He stopped in his tracks and shouted, "Grandpa!"
Mr. Gu had gray hair on his temples, but he was very strong and energetic. He looked at Gu Qingyan with his hands behind his back and said in a kind tone, "Why are you back so late?"
Gu Qingyan saluted the old man and said warmly, "Some things have been delayed. Grandpa just needs to let me know if he has something to do. It's so late at night, why are you waiting here so late?"
"Today, the little girl from the An family came to Beijing. You and she met each other. I waited until you didn't come back. I couldn't sleep anyway, so I came to your yard for a walk." Mr. Gu looked at Gu Qingyan, "Today you and that little girl
Have you met the girl?"
"See you."
"How?"
Gu Qingyan smiled lightly, "Very good."
Mr. Gu looked at Gu Qingyan carefully, with surprise on his face, "So, you agree to this marriage?"
"Yeah."
Mr. Gu was speechless for a while, but after a moment he said, "That little girl grew up in a military camp. She can't be a lady and has a bad temper. Even Chu Chen dared to beat her until she couldn't get out of bed for three months. I thought you were
She won’t be happy to see her.”
Gu Qingyan's face was gentle, "The Gu family is too quiet, like a pool of stagnant water, so it wouldn't be a bad idea if she came in and made it lively."
Mr. Gu raised his eyebrows, "Is it that simple?"
Gu Qingyan smiled, her face was like jade under the moonlight, her brows were full of moonlight, "Grandpa, what do you want from me?"
Mr. Gu looked at him and suddenly laughed and scolded, "You bastard, you have grown up and become more sophisticated. You even want to fool me. Okay, it's easy as you say. Anyway, this marriage needs to be settled as soon as possible.
Since you agree, then do it as soon as possible and don’t delay.”
Gu Qingyan coughed and said, "Grandpa, don't worry."
Mr. Gu nodded. He was relieved about Gu Qingyan. This child had never been worried about since she was a child. "Tomorrow, I will invite the little princess to the house as a guest, and grandpa will also meet her."
Gu Qingyan shook his head, "I'm afraid I won't be able to do it tomorrow."
"Huh?"
"She has not yet entered the palace to meet His Majesty and the Queen, so it would not be appropriate to come home first."
"Yes, let's wait a few days." Mr. Gu saw that it was getting late and didn't wait any longer. "Since you like it, grandpa has nothing more to say, so go to bed early!"
Originally, if his grandson disagreed, he would have tried to persuade him or think of ways to help him, but now he felt relieved.
"Grandpa also rest early."
Mr. Gu turned around and took two steps, then suddenly stopped and asked him, "Why are you blushing suddenly just now?"
Gu Qingyan: "..."
Mr. Gu looked at him with a smile, "It seems that little girl likes you very much and lets you fill your head with romance, so I feel relieved."
Gu Qingyan: "..."
Late at night, the An family's old house is as deep and quiet as the Gu family's old house.
Anhua Jin rode up to the An family's old house. As soon as he knocked on the door, the old housekeeper came out with his people, his face full of excitement, "Little princess, are you back? I guessed that you would come back to the old house tonight.
, specially waiting to open the door for you."
An Huajin handed the horse's reins to the doorman and looked at the old housekeeper with a smile, "Uncle Sun, your guess is really accurate. You can set up a stall and tell fortunes."
The old housekeeper smiled lovingly, "Where can I set up a stall and tell fortunes, old slave? I asked someone about it and learned that you had left the eldest princess' peach garden, so I guessed that you would come back to the old house tonight."
An Huajin walked inside, "So you have tidied up my house?"

"Everything is packed. You can have a rest as soon as you enter the house." The old housekeeper smiled and said, "Are you going to drink again?"
An Huajin nodded, "The rouge drunkenness of Lanfang Pavilion has made people think about it for three years, and I drank it to the fullest today."
The old housekeeper smiled and said, "You like to drink rouge and get drunk. I will send someone to buy you more tomorrow and put it in the house."
"No! You still have to drink rouge drunk in Lanfang Pavilion to taste it." An Huajin waved his hand.
The old housekeeper chuckled and said, "I'll listen to you."
While the two were talking, the old housekeeper accompanied An Huajin into the old house and came to her Fenghongyuan.
In contrast to the empty space in the old house, there is a red maple tree planted in her Maple Garden. In early summer, the branches and leaves sway and rustle gently in the night wind.
An Huajin yawned and said sleepily, "I'm exhausted, so I'm going to rest now. You can go and rest too."
"Okay." The old housekeeper nodded. The little princess grew up in the army and did not like being served by others. He said no more and turned around to leave.
There were not many people in the old house, and it was especially quiet at night.
An Huajin entered the room, turned on the lamp, undressed and washed, a box fell out of her sleeve, she was stunned, and then she remembered what the boy from Lanfang Pavilion had given her.
She bent down and picked it up. The box was as big as her palm, very light, and didn't weigh much. If it didn't fall out, she would have forgotten about it.
The box was locked, and the boy didn't give her the key. She probably didn't have the key, but the lack of the key didn't bother her. She took off a hairpin from her head, fiddled with the lock for a while, and the lock opened with a snap.
.
There was something wrapped in a handkerchief inside the box. She opened the handkerchief and found a jade pendant. The jade pendant was crystal clear. It was an ancient jade with warm and smooth tentacles. One side was engraved with landscapes and auspicious clouds, and the other side was engraved with the word "Yan".<
/p>
The handkerchief is a blue silk brocade handkerchief with several bamboo leaves embroidered on it. It is exactly the same as the handkerchief she used in Zuihua Pavilion today.
There is no doubt that the person who gave her something was Gu Qingyan.
The veil is a bit old. If it is said to be three years old, it really looks like it.
Anger suddenly arose in her heart. What did he mean by giving her the jade pendant in a roundabout way three years ago?
She threw the jade pendant back into the box, and it hit the bottom of the box with a "ding" sound. She frowned, took out the jade pendant again, picked up the box, looked at the bottom for a while, and pulled out a piece of gold from the bottom layer.
leaves.
The gold leaf was very thin and about the size of a palm. She moved the lamp closer and took a closer look. She found that it was densely engraved with names of people with fine needles. Among them, she saw the name of the eldest prince Chu Xian and more than a dozen people she was familiar with.
The names of court officials, several Nanyang Army lieutenant generals, and dozens of names she didn't recognize.
To be on this list, it is obvious that these people are characters.
She took a breath of air as she looked at it. She didn't expect that so many people were involved in the eldest prince's private weapons-making case.
If this list were to be published, His Majesty would probably be very angry.
She looked at it silently for a long time, then threw the gold leaf away bitterly and cursed, "Gu Qingyan, you bastard!"
