Chapter 9 Reluctance

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The young man was amazed at the guests who came to Bafang Inn to book an independent courtyard today. They were all very handsome and very eye-catching. At first glance, they were young ladies from a wealthy family. Their style and bearing were very extraordinary.<

/p>

After An Huajin gave the order, he immediately led someone to carry a large bucket of warm water and happily put it in the room.

An Huajin saw him chasing after him empty-handed, and Qing Mo was also empty-handed, so he ordered Qing Mo, "Go to a clothing store to buy a set of clothes for your young master. He loves to be clean and always changes into new clothes after bathing."

Qing Mo nodded and went immediately.

After walking out of the Bafang Inn, he felt relaxed all over. He thought about how he should evaluate Princess An Xiao. It was unexpectedly good. He lost his temper with the young master, but after leaving the capital, he still stayed here to wait.

Following the young master. He didn't dare to imagine that if she didn't wait for her and the young master chased her all the way, would he actually pursue her to Nanyang?

It’s really uncertain.

He quickly found the largest ready-made clothing store in Qingping Town, bought the best and most expensive clothes according to the sizes Gu Qingyan usually wore, and took them back to Bafang Inn.

After Gu Qingyan took a shower, she changed into the clothes Qing Mo had just bought and walked out of the room clean and fresh.

An Huajin was still sitting in the courtyard waiting for him. When he saw him coming out, he raised his eyes and saw that Mr. Gu had returned to his usual appearance, from head to toe, as smooth and gentle as jade.

She raised a smile and wondered why this person was so lovable that no matter how angry she was, she couldn't help but feel soft.

When Gu Qingyan saw the smile on her face, he smiled unconsciously, walked slowly to her, and sat down.

"Eat melon!" An Huajin handed him a piece of honeydew melon.

Gu Qingyan reached out to take it and ate it one bite at a time.

An Huajin looked at him with his chin in his hands and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Yeah."

An Huajin saw him finish a piece slowly and asked, "Do you want more?"

Gu Qingyan shook her head, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, looked up at her, "Why don't you leave?"

An Huajin blinked and smiled, "You want to keep me?"

"Yeah."

Seeing his serious expression, An Huajin really couldn't bear to part with her, but she still shook her head, "Besides you, it's very boring for me to be here every day in Beijing. And now that you have been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you will be very busy in the next three months.

In view of the official assessment that is held every three years this autumn, I have no time to pay attention to me every day. Why don't I go back to Nanyang and practice military training and do other things."

Gu Qingyan stopped laughing and said, "Besides training troops, what else do you have to do when you return to Nanyang?"

"There are so many things to do." An Huajin counted them one by one with his fingers. "Every time the seasons change in the military camp, the soldiers have to wear new clothes. They should be used according to their needs. They should be inspected every month. Every season

Zha Dazhuan. There are also military affairs. Since three years ago, my grandfather entrusted me with the matter of food, fodder and military pay. Seeing that I did a good job, two years ago, all military affairs were also entrusted to me. I went to Beijing.

At that time, I arrested Shen Yuanzhi to replace me. He likes to train soldiers and horses, but is very bored with official matters. Now that I have been in Beijing for a month and a half, he may be so upset that he can hardly stand it."

Gu Qingyan's eyes moved but she said nothing.

"If he is really upset, I'm afraid he should send someone a letter every day to urge me to go back. Now I don't have to wait for him to urge me, I just go back." An Huajin explained to Gu Qingyan, with a lot of reasons.

"You know that my grandpa is not in good health, and I don't worry about him. Besides, now that I'm back in Nanyang, Your Majesty doesn't have to keep an eye on you and me every day. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. He can't think of me, and he won't think about me all the time.

How can I make you and I cancel our engagement?"

Gu Qingyan was silent.

An Huajin waved his hand in front of his eyes and teased, "Gu Qingyan, heroes are short-tempered and children love each other long. You are not such a person. Are you really reluctant to let me go?"

Gu Qingyan pursed his lips, leaned back, and then remembered that the stool in the courtyard was a round stool without a backrest. He could only sit up straight, rubbed his brows, and said warmly, "

I really can’t bear to leave.”

If it had been before, he would never have thought that one day he would end up in this situation. He can still recall that eight years ago, his grandfather came back from the palace, called him to the study, and told him in a somewhat unspeakable way that he would book a book for him.

He had a fiancée, the little princess of Nanyang Palace. When he heard about it, he was very angry and ignored his grandfather for a month.

Three years ago, he met her for the first time. The little girl had a pretty face and a bit of energy, but she was too brave to be afraid of tigers like a newborn calf. She was very courageous. In a capital city where she was unfamiliar, she would dare to follow anyone.

He dares to break into any place, but when facing him, with the sword on his neck, without even using the word "fear", he still teases people.

At that time, he was cold and indifferent, knowing that she was his fiancée. He had no emotions and no fluctuations in his heart, so he fed her Baisha Powder and used her to stop Chu Chen.

Later, he finally recited the engagement between the two of them, left and returned, and looked at her secretly. Chu Chen was already lying on the ground at that time, unable to fight back. In such a situation, she still retained a trace of reason and did not want to kill anyone.

, he fought with himself with the swords of his left and right hands, until the last trace of the medicinal properties was used, and his heart was slightly disturbed.

It was probably because of that slight disturbance that he would read it carefully every time he received a letter from the old King of Nanyang.

Interest was accumulated little by little, and it took three years to accumulate, until she came to Beijing, and until today, when we get along with each other, a little has accumulated into a lot, and he is full of water. He clearly watched his willingness to fall step by step.

An Huajin saw that his face was calm, but the expression in his eyes changed. She smiled, "It's not like I won't come to Beijing?"

"Do you really want to go back?" Gu Qingyan just asked.

"Well, I really want to go back. Although it was impulsive at first, the moment I made the decision, I felt that it was time to go back." An Huajin nodded sincerely, "Gu Qingyan, you have your own world, and I have my own."

My world. Your performance is in the capital, in the court, and mine is in Nanyang, in the military camp. It is good to stay closest to you, but..."

Gu Qingyan stretched out his hand to cover her mouth, stopping her unspoken words, and her tone was filled with a trace of regret, "I understand. But even if I understand, I still can't let go, what should I do?"

The tips of his fingers were warm, and he put them together and pressed them on her lips. An Huajin's lips could detect the temperature of his fingertips, and it seemed that his lips were very hot. She inhaled gently, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.

How to answer a call.

"Huh? What should I do?" Gu Qingyan looked at her and asked in a low voice.

An Huajin paused for a while, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to grasp his finger and took it away from her lips. But he didn't let go. Instead, he held it so tightly that the temperature of his fingertips passed through the palm of his hand and spread into her heart.

It’s too hot.

She thought, why is this person always so confusing in every move he makes?

At this moment, she wanted to give her life to him.

She inhaled and exhaled gently, her face turned red and her ears warmed by his eyes. It took a long time before she spoke teasingly in a low voice, "Otherwise, I will kidnap you to Nanyang?"

"Very good."

An Huajin raised his eyebrows, "Seriously?"

Gu Qingyan nodded, "If you kidnap me, His Majesty will probably be angry, but he may not punish you, after all..."

An Huajin, like him, stretched out his hand to press his lips, stopped what he was saying, and said with a smile, "I dare to kidnap you. Your Majesty won't blame me for one thing, but Grandpa Gu is afraid that he will jump. A famous family cultivates a man

Being an heir is not easy, but you are not just playing around with me. You are now the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and you have a lot of things on your hands, but you can’t afford to torment with me, and I dare not let you torment yourself with me. "<

/p>

Gu Qingyan shut up.

An Huajin let go of his hand, curled his fingers, and put them into his sleeves, "I'll let you have a dinner today, rest for half the night, and then rush back. It's best not to miss tomorrow's morning meeting. It seems that tomorrow is the 15th

Are you going to have a grand meeting? Today is the 14th moon. No wonder it’s almost dark but it’s still so bright in the courtyard.”

Gu Qingyan withdrew her hand and his eyes fell on the fingers she retracted into her sleeves. She didn't know what she was thinking about and didn't answer.

An Huajin coughed, feeling suddenly uncomfortable. He loosened his two fingers, turned his hands behind his back, and rubbed them hard where he couldn't see them, as if he wanted to rub them off.

She feels hot.

Gu Qingyan's eyes flashed slightly.

At this time, there was movement outside the courtyard again, and the sound of messy footsteps came, as if they were running towards the courtyard.

Qing Mo jumped up to the roof, took a look outside, and immediately said, "Sir, the imperial guards are here."

Gu Qingyan sat upright again, the warmth in his brows and eyes dissipated, withdrew his hand, and fell silent for a moment.

"Young Master, can you see them? If not, my subordinates will go out and stop them." Qing Mo jumped off the roof and asked.

"No, please stop me." Gu Qingyan's voice returned to calmness, gentleness, and said, "If the purpose of the imperial guard is to come to convey His Majesty's decree for me to return to the capital, just tell me that I will go back early tomorrow morning and will not miss the imperial meeting."
"Yes."

Qing Mo walked out of the courtyard gate and stopped the Ouchi guard more than ten steps away from the door.

Two of the Ouchi guards came, and they rode hard all the way. They thought they would chase Gu Qingyan for hundreds of miles, but they didn't expect that they would catch up to Gu Qingyan after only chasing for a hundred miles. At this time, they came here.

Seeing Qing Mo, after greeting each other, the two of them said, "According to His Majesty's decree, the two of us are asking Mr. Gu to return to the capital."

Qing Mo conveyed Gu Qingyan's words, "Your Majesty sent two of you here. Even if your Majesty doesn't come, the young master will return as soon as possible. Please tell your majesty to rest assured. The young master will go back early tomorrow morning and will not delay the great court meeting."
The two looked at each other and said, "Master Gu, have you caught up with Princess An?"

"The little princess is homesick. Today I say goodbye to my young master and will set off back to Nanyang tomorrow."

The two of them nodded. His Majesty did not tell them too much. He only said that he was looking after Sir Gu, but did not say what happened to the little princess. The purpose was achieved. If Sir Gu did not see them, there was no need to see them. They believed that Sir Gu had kept his word and said that he would go back.

I will definitely go back, so I can safely return to Beijing to resume my life.
