Gu Chengye pulled up his horse and went to say goodbye to Concubine Rong. His Majesty granted her a pardon and there was no need to rush to the palace to see her.
However, where else can he go? My sister is already married to someone else...
"Hey! Gu Chengye! Go and say goodbye quickly! Lin Jiaojiao has booked a large private room in Ganlinzhou and is waiting for you!"
Chu Shou's words pulled him out of his thoughts. He asked with a smile on his face and nodded gently.
Fortunately, there are still old friends in Kyoto.
The two of them, a horse and a cart, turned into the street at the other end. Gu Chengye got into the carriage and took off his light armor. In the past few years, he had experienced in the frontier and was much more stable when walking, sitting and lying down. He was a kid from a rich family who was raised in fine clothes and fine food, and his temperament was rounded.
Even his body is much stronger.
He handed over his light armor and sent someone to the General's Mansion, which was a large house given to him by His Majesty. Although it was not as prosperous and luxurious as the place where he had lived since childhood, it was already the best place in Kyoto.
Seeing that he was planning something, Chu Shou couldn't help but tsked, "If Lin Jiaojiao sees you like this, she will definitely be unable to walk."
Gu Chengye frowned and said, "You are looking down on Jiaojiao too much. How can a big guy like me like a reckless man like me?"
Since Chu Shou returned to Beijing, except for the meeting at the gate of the General's Mansion that day, he rarely met Lin Yujiao, just because of... a secret.
Lin Jiaojiao has been obsessed with drama since he was a child, and is a bit more delicate than the average young man. He often complains that he was born in the wrong child, not complaining about being a man, but complaining about why he is the only son in the family.
However, in the end, drama addiction defeated reason, but once you put on that heavy makeup, who knows whom?
He simply went to the Yichunju Theater and sang for several years. He became the biggest actor in Kyoto. He had a clear figure and a beautiful voice. Everyone praised him. He only saw people on the stage, but not the people below. He was extremely mysterious.
Yes, it is said that the white crane in the mist is a magnanimous gentleman.
The two of them entered the private room. Lin Yujiao had already prepared a large table of wine and food waiting for him. When he saw his best friend for the first time, he was overwhelmed with joy and couldn't help but burst into tears. They toasted to each other and started talking happily.
After three rounds of drinking, all the words were said, and the room became quiet for a while. Melodic music came from the window, and cheers came one after another outside. I wonder what new tricks Gan Linzhou has come up with.
Lin Yujiao leaned back on the lounge chair, her cheeks slightly red, her fair and slender hands holding the wine glass and pointing at Chu Shou opposite:
"You're so good, Rukawa, why do you just bury your head in drinking? Aye became General Gu and returned in triumph, aren't you happy?"
When his name was called, Chu Shou immediately raised his head, thinking about how to retaliate. He curled his lips and saw Gu Chengye's interested eyes from the corner of his eye and said, "Happy! Of course I am happy. I have just returned to Beijing, so
I can only listen to you tell me some interesting things about Beijing."
Gu Chengye listened to the two of them talking to each other, lowered his eyes and smiled helplessly, and said loudly:
"I have one more thing to do when I return to Beijing this time."
The two stopped playing like children, and Lin Yujiao opened her eyes and asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
Gu Chengye breathed a sigh of relief and moved his eyes to Chu Shou aside, calm and gentle, "This time I return to the capital, I have to complete my engagement with Liu Chuan."
"engagement?"
Lin Yujiao was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized that the Chu family used the marriage contract as guarantee. Yes, there was indeed a marriage contract.
"Engagement! What a great engagement! What I thought didn't count... turned out to be true! It's great! It must be lively and lively! To avoid bad luck!"
Chu Shou was stunned there, speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
After another round of drinking, Lin Yujiao finally couldn't bear it any longer, opened the door and strode out, waving to the two of them, indicating that they should continue and asking him to take a breath first.
The door was closed with a bang, and the house became quiet again. Chu Shou rubbed the wine glass with his hot fingertips, smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, and asked softly: "Do you really want to marry me?"
Gu Chengye raised his lips and smiled, and said without hesitation: "You asked me to come back, didn't you just want me to marry you?"
Chu Shou smiled and said, "If you don't tell me... it has to be you, then - let me be willful again."
She raised her eyes and met Gu Chengye's passionate eyes. This time she didn't flinch at all. The two of them felt that they were evenly matched and their eyes met.
Gu Chengye gently raised the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. His throat was burning. After drinking a glass of warm wine, he responded: "Okay, it's not bad this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yujiao staggered and pushed the door open, then closed the door tightly and leaned against it, looking a little panicked.
Chu Shou didn't know, so he jokingly said, "Hey! Jiaojiao, don't drink too much at noon!"
Before she could finish her words, she saw Lin Yujiao's panicked expression and immediately pursed her lips with some doubts.
"Shh..."
Lin Yujiao put her index finger on her lips, signaling the two of them to be silent. Then, a dark figure appeared in front of the door, raised her hand, and there was a knock on the door.
"who?"
Gu Chengye was full of energy and asked loudly and effortlessly.
The outsider stopped knocking and replied: "Shen Yi Ke, the censor of the Imperial Procuratorate, is here... to convey a few words to the princess on behalf of my lord."
After listening, Lin Yujiao relaxed, stretched out his hand to support the table, collapsed, and knocked down the wine glass in his hand.
"Master Shen, it's okay to say so."
"Back to the princess, my lord, I would like to ask the princess to have a few drinks. You should wear that silver fox cloak when you go to the banquet in the evening. It will be cool in the night."
Before Chu Shou could speak, Gu Chengye sneered and said in a loud voice: "I won't bother you, Mr. Yushi. I heard that Mr. Liu Chuan and Mr. Liu went to Qingzhou earlier. I would like to thank you for taking care of me. I will visit you someday."
I must come and say thank you in person."
After that, he exchanged glances with Chu Shou. Chu Shou lowered his eyes to think, then raised his eyes to look at the dark figure at the door.
Shen Yi listened carefully to Gu Chengye's words, but said nothing in response.
Chu Shou replied: "Just follow General Gu's words and reply."
Shen Yi Yan obviously paused for a few seconds, then bowed and said respectfully: "Yes, I will take my leave."

In late autumn, the weather turns cold if you don't pay attention. The sky is often gray and foggy, and occasionally there are a few autumn rains. God's heart is cold, and even the few inches of warmth left in the world are withdrawn.
Departing from the General's Mansion, the carriage was wrapped in three thousand Ashui.
I heard that the young people of the right age in Kyoto are riding horses in the autumn, painting autumn on the flat shore, hunting in the forest, playing ball, and having poetry gatherings.
The riding attire is smart and unrestrained, and everyone is not afraid of the chill of autumn. Just looking at it makes people forget the season.
These are the scenery that can be seen every year in Kyoto. Chu Shou nestled in the warm carriage, but he felt a little annoyed. He was depressed in his heart and his brows did not relax for a long time.
Ah Shui was attentive, and when he saw this, he comforted him and said, "If the princess also wants to ride a horse, we will pull Taxue out some other day and go to the river embankment for a stroll."
Taxue was given to her by the emperor. Her coat is snow-white and shiny, making her a one-of-a-kind horse.
Chu Shou stood up slightly, looked at Sanqian Ah Shui with eyes full of expectation, sighed softly, leaned back, and said with emotion: "Yes, even Ta Xue has to suffer with me."
"You don't have any abnormality in your body now, and don't think too much about the worst. You haven't read several letters from Xiao Zhongshan King. Maybe... things will turn around again?"
"I know my own body well. As for Zhao Wuji...has he finished copying the scriptures Huiyuan gave him?"
"I've finished copying it. The boy sent it overnight yesterday. I saw that you were not interested, so I didn't dare to hand it over to you."
Chu Shou breathed a sigh of relief, clenched his fists, and said like iron, "Just finish copying, just finish copying."
Sanqian winked at Ah Shui, and Ah Shui continued to persuade: "Your Majesty is hosting a banquet for three parties tonight. I heard that the prince will also go. Miss, are you going to continue to be cold-faced later?"
Chu Shou snorted, "If he can finish copying the scriptures obediently, I will naturally not argue with him anymore."
The purpose of copying scriptures was simply to ask him to repent to the Buddha. Huiyuan did not want to pay attention to their grudges, so he naturally enjoyed the results.
Zhao Wuji's handwriting was quite beautiful, and he happened to have some rare copies of Buddhist scriptures, so he simply lied and claimed that they were some confessional scriptures and moved them all to Zhao Wuji's room. After all, the princess had already sent the message and there was no way he could finish copying it.
Get out!
Zhao Wuji used Song Yanqing's blood as medicine. After all, it was her who caused it. Chu Shou felt deeply that she should be the one who copied the scriptures.
However, the abbot of Fodu Temple did not want her to pray to the Buddha. After the empty copy, maybe the Buddha was not willing to pray to her.
So I decided to make another jade body for the Goddess Empress as soon as possible so that she would have something to rely on in her heart and not be as empty as she is now, with no mood to do anything.
The carriage swayed and swayed, and the road to the palace became extremely long.
