The dinner was very sumptuous, full of delicious food and delicious food.
But Gu Qingyan didn't seem to have much appetite. After coming out of the inner room, he sat in front of the table in the painting hall in the outer room, sitting upright, motionless, and his face didn't look good.
An Huajin picked up the chopsticks and put them into his hands, "Eat? Why are you sitting here?"
Gu Qingyan did not take the chopsticks, but instead hid for a moment.
An Huajin tilted his head and looked at him, "What's wrong?"
Gu Qingyan's eyes were calm, but there was a hint of grievance in his eyes, and he remained silent.
An Huajin: "..."
He looked at her accusingly, as if she had done something heinous, but in fact, she had just escaped from the back room.
This is indeed a bit heinous.
An Huajin was quiet for a moment, pretending to have forgotten what had just happened, forcefully thrust the chopsticks into his hand, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Gu, why are you so angry like a child? Do you want me to feed you?
?"
Gu Qingyan remained silent.
An Huajin picked up the chopsticks, took a chopstick of vegetables and put it to his mouth. The corners of his thin lips were slightly pursed, and the curvature was drawn down to form a line. How could this be imagined as a child getting angry? She looked at a
I couldn't hold it back and suddenly became happy. I passed my chopsticks forward and asked, "Would you like to eat?"
Gu Qingyan lowered his eyelashes, paused for a while, raised his eyes again, slowly opened his mouth, and ate the vegetables she handed to his mouth. The wild mushrooms were smooth and tender, and sweet in the mouth. They were very delicious and made him feel good.
A lot.
An Huajin opened his eyes and whispered, "I haven't coaxed anyone yet!"
Even if it was Shen Yuanzhi, she would only fight with him. Later, she could only do what he asked for, but she never coaxed him.
Gu Qingyan picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of food, brought it to An Huajin's mouth, and whispered, "It's delicious, try it."
"I have hands!" An Huajin raised his eyes.
Gu Qingyan looked at her, "I still have hands."
Can that be the same? If you have hands and don’t eat, you are in a mood. I have hands but I am not in a mood.
However, looking at Gu Qingyan's clear eyes, she still opened her mouth and swallowed the food he brought to her mouth. Well, the wild mushrooms fried in soy sauce are indeed delicious.
One person and one chopstick, you come and go, which kicks off the meal.
Until An Huajin was full, he looked at Gu Qingyan and put down his chopsticks, a little doubtful about life. How could she and Gu Qingyan finish a meal by feeding me a chopstick and I feed you a chopstick?
What did she just do? What did Gu Qingyan do again?
She was really taken into the ditch by him.
She couldn't describe her mood for a while. After drinking two sips of tea to calm down her shock, she stood up, took an umbrella, opened it, and said to him, "Let's go and beg for luck under the cucumber stand."
p>
Gu Qingyan nodded in a good mood, his earlier emotions had already been digested into this meal.
He had long discovered that she was very tolerant of him. As long as he didn't go too far, even if he bullied her silently, she would still coax him. The feeling of being coaxed was really overwhelming.
Great.
Outside, it was still raining lightly. The two walked along the bluestone road, left Fenghong Garden, and came to the garden behind.
There are several large ponds with cucumber stands, which look very spectacular. Next to the cucumber stands, Uncle Sun has already had incense tables and a variety of begging items set up.
An Huajin took a red rope from the table and tied it first to Gu Qingyan's wrist, and then to his own wrist. After that, he took him to the cucumber rack and squatted down, holding the two of them together.
The red rope on the wrist is deftly tied to the cucumber stand.
Gu Qingyan followed her movements silently, watching silently and curiously.
"Have you ever begged for luck before?" An Huajin asked in a low voice.
Gu Qingyan shook his head, "No."
"I have never begged for luck before." An Huajin muttered, "It is said that only unmarried adult men and women can squat under the cucumber stand and beg for luck together. I once saw my eldest brother and future sister-in-law begging for luck. They were like this.
..."
As she spoke, she suddenly paused and became silent.
Gu Qingyan knew that his eldest brother had a fiancée who had been engaged since childhood. She went to the battlefield before she got married. After the Battle of Yuxueling, the girl did not wait for him to propose marriage, but instead waited for the bad news. It is said that she cried to death.
I was going to follow him, but somehow I became a monk and became a sister-in-law.
Gu Qingyan gently held her hand to distract her from the discomfort of thinking about the past, "Are we just squatting like this?"
"Yes." An Huajin was not sure either.
Gu Qingyan: "..."
He squatted silently for a while and then said, "How long do we have to squat?"
"I don't know either."
Gu Qingyan coughed, "Don't you do something?"
An Huajin thought for a while and whispered, "I heard that on July 7th, unmarried men and women squatted together under the cucumber stand and begged for luck. You can hear the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl talking on the bank of the Tianhe River."
Gu Qingyan blinked.
An Huajin whispered again, "It is said that unmarried men and women who can hear the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl talk will definitely have a happy marriage."
Gu Qingyan looked up at the sky, but didn't see anything. He only saw the tall cucumber stand in front of his umbrella. It was the season when cucumbers were ripe, and a series of them were hung on the stand.
He was very doubtful whether this legend was true? Why did he feel that it was a bit unreliable?
After a while, An Huajin asked in a low voice, "Did you hear them talking?"
Gu Qingyan didn't hear it, but he didn't want not to hear it. He wanted a happy marriage, so he said seriously, "I heard it."
"Ah?" An Huajin was surprised, "Did you really hear it? What did they say?"
Gu Qingyan thought about the folk legend about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and racked his brains to think of a response. After a moment, he whispered, "They said they would never be separated again. The Weaver Girl asked the Cowherd to live with her in the sky and never come down to earth."
."
"Ah?" An Huajin was even more surprised.
Gu Qingyan's expression couldn't be more serious as he talked nonsense, "It turns out that Cowherd is not a Cowherd, he is also a god in the sky. He just made a mistake and was demoted to the mortal world. Now that his mortal life is over, he has returned to heaven.
."
"Ah?" An Huajin pulled the red rope and looked at Gu Qingyan with a very different look.
Gu Qingyan asked her back, "Didn't you hear?"
An Huajin wanted to shake her head, but when she saw Gu Qingyan's expression when she asked this question, it was like "Why are you so stupid? Can't you even do such a simple thing?" She scratched her head, her mind became hot and confused.
Said, "I... heard it."
Gu Qingyan lowered his head and laughed lowly, "Well, we have all heard it, so it means that we will definitely have a happy marriage."
"Yes." An Huajin stuttered.
"Let's go. Now that we heard it, can we stop squatting?" Gu Qingyan reached out to untie the red rope.
An Huajin was a little dizzy, "It should be OK."
Gu Qingyan quickly untied the red rope and put it into his pocket.
An Huajin looked at him, "What do you want to wear with this red rope?"
"This is our marriage thread, so of course we have to keep it. Next year on Chinese Valentine's Day, we will beg for luck together again and use this red rope." Gu Qingyan pulled An Huajin out of the cucumber stand and stood up.
An Huajin had nothing to say to refute, "That's fine, then keep it and don't lose it."
This is a red rope that can reach the Tianhe River and eavesdrop on the words of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. It is not a simple red rope.
The two of them walked out of the back garden holding umbrellas and walked back. They met Uncle Sun. Uncle Sun smiled and said, "Little Princess, Mr. Gu, although it is raining, the streets outside are very lively tonight. Lao Nupai
I went to ask around. Many young people are playing outside. Do you two want to go out to play too?"
Gu Qingyan looked at An Huajin, "Do you want to go out?"
"What about you?" An Huajin asked.
Gu Qingyan smiled slightly, "I can stay with you whether I go out or not, it's your decision."
This fiancé is so nice for a while, and when he is not in a mood, he is simply perfect and lovable.
An Huajin took a look at the sky. It was raining, and the rainy night was very cold. She shook her head, "Forget it, let's go back to the house and play chess. It's warm in the house, and there's food, drink, and fun. Why go out and suffer that?"
Sin."
"Okay."
The two discussed it and returned to Fenghongyuan. An Huajin took out the chessboard and set up the chess game. The two sat in the warm room and started playing chess.
Halfway through the chess game, Qing Mo called out, "Young Master."
"Huh?" Gu Qingyan looked towards the door.
Qingmo reported, "Eunuch Zhang has spread the news that Hua Xiyu is pregnant."
Gu Qingyan's hand paused.
An Huajin narrowed his eyes.
Qing Mo continued, "Half an hour ago, Hua Xiyu suddenly fainted. Your Majesty invited the imperial doctor from the Taiyuan Hospital to find Hua Xiyu's happy pulse. Since it was less than a month, Your Majesty suppressed the news for the time being.
You can’t say it openly.”
"I know." Gu Qingyan said calmly, "Go and let Chu Chen know."
"Yes!"
After Qing Mo retreated, An Huajin dropped the chess piece with a soft bang, and she sneered, "With this life-saving talisman, what can we do to her for the time being?"
