The two servants threw Qingyu into the dense forest, turned around and ran to the official road, and caught up with the team returning north. As for whether Qingyu was alive or dead, how could two young men who killed the sun care about the life and death of a female slave of Fengtian?
Qingyu lay on the ground covered with fallen leaves. The trees in the dense forest were tall. When Qingyu looked up, she could only see the crisscrossing treetops, but not the sky. The fear of death made Qingyu burst into tears, and hatred once again attacked her heart. If she didn't die this time, Qingyu thought, as long as she didn't die this time, one day, she would trample all those who were high and mighty and regarded her as an ant under her feet, Yu Linglong, Gu Xinglang, Jing Mo, even if she turned into a ghost alive, she would avenge today!
Yu Xiaoxiao sneezed while sitting in the carriage. She felt a little panicked, but she didn't know why.
The carriage stopped in front of the Dawan Restaurant. Yu Xiaoxiao rubbed her nose and jumped out of the carriage. Two guards carefully lifted Gu Xinglang out of the carriage.
The owner of Dawan Restaurant ran out of his restaurant and knelt down to salute Yu Xiaoxiao from a distance.
Yu Xiaoxiao teleported to the boss and said, "No need to kneel, boss, I'm here to eat with you again."
The boss stood up and bowed to Yu Xiaoxiao. Not to mention that Her Royal Highness the Princess came again, the boss would be happy if she came every day.
Gu Xinglang was sitting in front of the Dawan Restaurant when he suddenly heard the sound of a copper bell. Gu Shao quickly turned his head in the direction of the sound and saw a peddler in his twenties carrying a load on his shoulder. The two containers in front and back were filled with wind chimes and bells of various sizes.
The peddler saw Gu Xinglang staring at his pole and thought that business was coming, so he hurriedly walked towards Gu Xinglang with his pole.
The two guards raised their hands to stop the peddler without getting any orders from Gu Xinglang.
Yu Xiaoxiao was sitting in the lobby of the Dawan Restaurant at this time, listening to the boss announcing the names of new dishes like singing an opera.
Gu Xinglang said to the two guards: "Let him come over."
The peddler came up to Gu Xinglang with his load and asked him, "Would you like to buy a bell?"
Gu Xinglang picked up a string of copper wind chimes and shook them. The wind chimes made a tinkling sound. Gu Xinglang was very confused when he heard the sound. He didn't find the sound of the wind chimes unbearable at this moment, so why did he feel it was so irritating the first two times he heard it?
Although the peddler didn't understand why a man like Gu Xinglang, who looked like a nobleman, would play with children's toys, he still looked at Gu Xinglang with expectation, hoping that Gu Xinglang could help him make a big deal.
Gu Xinglang stopped and stared at the wind chime in his hand, as if he could see a flower from it.
The vendor said, "Sir, these wind chimes are ten cents a string."
The two guards looked at the vendor. This guy was really bold. He actually asked for ten coins for a string of small wind chimes. This was enough for two meals for them!
Gu Xinglang still looked at the wind chime in his hand without saying anything.
The vendor automatically lowered the price and said, "If you really want it, eight cents."
Gu Xinglang raised his eyes to look at the young vendor who looked very honest, and signaled the guard beside him to give him money.
The guard stepped forward, gave the vendor five cents, and said, "Take the money and leave quickly."
The peddler looked at the tall and strong guard of the Gu Mansion and asked, "Only five cents? When did the rich man's brother become so stingy?"
"Why don't you leave?" The guard lifted his sleeves. He had heard yesterday that the second young master, who never cared about anything, was thinking of ways to make money. Even the second young master was worried about money. How poor must the Gu family be now? As a servant, he had to save some money for his master no matter what.
The peddler looked at Gu Xinglang again and found that the young master was still looking at the wind chime in his hand and had no intention of caring about money. The peddler had no choice but to pick up his load and move forward. In his heart, he despised Gu Xinglang for being stingy, but he dared not say a word.
"Xiao Gu, come up and eat," Yu Xiaoxiao shouted from the window of the private room on the second floor.
"Let's go up," Gu Xinglang put the small wind chime into his sleeve and ordered the two guards.
In the private room, a number of plates of snacks were placed in front of Yu Xiaoxiao. Her curved eyebrows made Gu Xinglang know at a glance that his wife was in a good mood at the moment.
"The boss has hired a new chef," Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Xinglang who was sitting next to her, "If he says the food is not tasty, he won't charge you. Xiao Gu, don't worry about whether it's tasty or not, let's all say it's not tasty."
Gu Xinglang...
Yu Xiaoxiao stuffed a piece of dessert into Gu Xinglang's mouth and ate two pieces herself.
Gu Xinglang took out the wind chime, handed it to Yu Xiaoxiao, and said, "This is for you."
Yu Xiaoxiao glanced at the wind chime.
Gu Xinglang said: "Do you like it?"
Yu Xiaoxiao is not really interested in things other than food, such as the butterfly hairpin that Gu Xinglang gave her some time ago. But when she looked up at her own little Gu's eyes, Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "I like it." She didn't feel interested, but she didn't hate it either. Yu Xiaoxiao felt that she should like it.
Gu Xinglang tied the wind chime to Yu Xiaoxiao's belt and fiddled with it with his fingers, and the wind chime made a tinkling sound.
Yu Xiao: "It sounds nice, there's a bell."
Gu Xinglang was still playing with the wind chimes with his fingers. In Gu Shao's opinion, his wife would look better with some ornaments on her body.
Yu Xiaoxiao's face darkened. She had been so busy eating snacks that she hadn't thought about it. But now she remembered, what kind of creature wears a bell on its body? Was her little Gu treating her like a dog?
"I want to buy you a few more jade pendants," Gu Xinglang looked up and said to Yu Xiao, "What kind do you like?"
Yu Xiao: "Yes, I have. Madam has several boxes."
Gu Xinglang said: "Then why don't you ever wear it?"
Yu Xiaoxiao shook her head and told the truth: "I don't like it."
"Then let's go see what you like," Gu Xinglang held Yu Xiaoxiao's hand in his own.
Yu Xiaoxiao...
Gu Xinglang said, "Let's go after dinner."
"My dad has a lot," Yu Xiaoxiao suggested, "Xiao Gu, if you like it, let's go to my dad and get some."
Gu Xinglang... went to ask his father-in-law for the jade pendant? Would his father-in-law want his life?
Xianzong really wanted to kill Gu Xinglang at this moment. "What did you say?" Xianzong sat in the imperial study and asked Xiao Wei, "Tell me again, who asked you to send that person here?"
Xiao Wei looked very respectful and said, "Your Majesty, it's the Prince Consort."
Xianzong slammed the table and said after a long while: "Princess, why did he send the person he beat to me?"
Xiao Wei couldn't help but speak up for Gu Xinglang at this time, so he said to Emperor Xianzong: "It seems that the Prince Consort has no other choice, so he wants you, Your Majesty, to make the decision."
Xianzong chuckled. Why on earth did he want to marry his daughter to a young man named Gu?
