Chapter 217 The happy event of the red hairpin
After the public election, Gu Yuchu became the leader of the new generation of Hehe. She handed over the results of the public election to Ling Buhuo, who sealed it together with Lejia Pengkang's surrender Chen Biao box, and set off to send it to Yunjing in person three days later. .

The war on the Dongqi border is still going on. Except for some local troops and horses in Beiling that continue to expand northward, they are not participating in the battle on the frontal battlefield. Therefore, He and his troops can rest and recuperate. At the same time, a happy event has also begun. is quietly brewing in the military.

Gu Yuchu completed the important matter of handing over people's obedience and had a good sleep. Early the next morning, Fan Yuan was waiting outside her door.

"Hey, you got up so early." She yawned, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and greeted with a smile.

"General, I..." Fan Yuan's cheeks were red, hesitating a little, and kept glancing towards the corner not far away.

"What's the matter? Why are you so embarrassed?" Gu Yuchu joked, looking at her gaze, he saw seven or eight red-haired female military cats peeking from a corner.

"General, I'm getting married!" Fan Yuan gritted her teeth and finally said it.

"Congratulations, is it with Qiu Ye?"

Fan Yuan nodded shyly, and Gu Yuchu saw the clouds on her face and the joy in her eyes. This must be the result of a good marriage that she had been looking forward to for a long time.

"Hahaha, that's great. When will the wedding be held?"

"The day after tomorrow."

"So urgent! But just in time, I can attend in time before I go to Yunjing." Seeing the happy event early in the morning, Gu Yuchu crossed his arms, covered with the luster of the morning sun, and was in a particularly good mood.

"It's not just me!" Fan Yuan had already said what was on his mind, so he stopped being coy and pretended to be silent with a wink.

"It's not just you? What do you mean?" Gu Yuchu was a little surprised and confused. Could it be possible for three people to get married together?
"Hahaha, there are eight other sisters. During the coalition battle, the Hongchai female army received a lot of care from the city garrison army, so..." Fan Yuan said this and felt a little embarrassed again.

"So we are secretly in love and have been in love for three lifetimes?" Gu Yuchu raised his eyebrows, unusually sophisticated, as if he was a seasoned expert in love.

"Oh, if you don't come out, I won't care about you!" Fan Yuan stamped her feet shyly, and when she talked about the love between her children, she lost any of the demeanor of a female general.

Then, the eight girls hiding in the corner started pushing and giggling.

"General." They cupped their hands and said hello, glanced at each other a few times, suppressed their laughter, and didn't say a word.

"What's the matter? Are you all here to send me wedding invitations?" Gu Yuchu said with a proud smile. When no one answered, she pretended to lose her patience, "If you don't say anything, I will go back and sleep again. I won't see you today or tomorrow." guest."

"No, no, no, no." The girls were anxious and pushed Fan Yuan out.

Fan Yuan rolled his eyes, shook his arms, and said, "We will discuss it and plan to hold a wedding together. We would like to ask the general to officiate the wedding for us."

"Officiating the wedding?! Me?" Gu Yuchu was a little surprised, pointing to his nose and asked, "Is it okay?"

"Why not? That's great! General, just agree!"

"Yes, yes, it would be great if the general can officiate our wedding."

"As long as the general supports us women, we won't be afraid of those old men!"

Everyone begged Gu Yuchu for permission.

"But I've never been a wedding officiant. What if I don't do well?"

Gu Yuchu had some hesitations. This officiating wedding was no better than going to war. The process was very complicated. She was really worried that she would not be able to do it. Although she had been a princess before, she had never attended her wedding in person. Although Lanye's ceremony was organized by herself, the royal family The rules are very different from those in the market, and she doesn't understand this customary process.

"Have you ever frowned when a general led troops in war? There is no need to worry about such trivial matters. We will keep everything simple when we get married, just to have fun. This is a rough etiquette, and the general will know it at a glance." Fan Yuan smiled and put the scroll into her hand. , "Also, we want to get married from the Hongchai Army Camp. I wonder if the general will allow it?"

"of course can!"

Gu Yuchu couldn't stand everyone's enthusiasm, so she only smiled and agreed. The girls happily gathered around her, infected by their joy, and she hugged everyone as if she was about to get married.

Time was tight, and the ceremony would begin the day after tomorrow, but as the leader and officiant, she had not even prepared a gift. She was very anxious, so she prepared to go out to the streets to buy some gifts that afternoon. Ling Buhuo didn't know when he would know. I insist on accompanying her on this matter.

After more than a year of restoration and repair, and protected by a strong army, Qiongzhou City has returned to its former bustling and noisy appearance, with merchants, peddlers, hawkers and raps making it very lively.

Gu Yuchu turned around and had no clue. She was the worst at dealing with such trivial matters, especially giving gifts.Now, having to pick nine copies in a row is even more daunting.

"Have you thought about what to give?" Ling Buhuo asked, seeing her confused look in front of the dazzling array of products.

"No, I still have to send Jiufen!" She looked at him sadly.

"Is it possible that you want to give each of you something different?"

"Otherwise? The same thing is too perfunctory." Gu Yuchu held his arms and thought deeply.

"You are just too serious. Don't you know what Fan Yueqing is paying attention to?"

"Of course I know that although he regards me as his leader, he is worried that I will overstep his confidants and use the Red Hairpin Women's Army, so he thought of marrying the Red Hairpin Women's Army to tie the Red Hairpin Women's Army with the city garrison. Anyway, so are the female soldiers. The person who wants to marry is a woman of your own free will, no one else can say anything, and I can't say anything."

"Even if you know, why bother with this."

"In any case, they are my comrades-in-arms. Now that they are getting married, I will naturally prepare a different kind of generous gift. If everyone is the same, it will appear that I am not sincere."

"It's troublesome if they're different, okay? Can you guarantee that the gifts are of equal value and everyone is satisfied? Or do you plan to treat them differently?" Ling Buhuo stopped and asked.

"of course not!"

"So, the same thing is the most appropriate. The gifts are all meaningful. They asked you to be the officiant. They are not coveting what kind of gifts you give them. Or you can just wrap nine red envelopes of the same size!"

"The red envelope is too insincere. But what you said makes sense. It would be better to unify and be impartial. But I don't know what to give. Do you have any ideas?"

"You are your own subordinate, you think for yourself!" Ling Buhuo flicked her head with one finger.

"Asking is in vain, so don't follow me and hinder my thinking."

After saying that, Gu Yuchu rubbed his forehead and pushed Ling Buhuo, feeling very dissatisfied.Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and seemed to have an idea.

"I know what to give! They are all warriors, so I will give each of them a dagger!"

"You must be sick. It's someone else's big day, but you give them a murder weapon!"

"I wish them well that their married life will be smooth, and any problems they encounter will be solved easily." She is a master of strong words, not to mention that she has to think of a good excuse for any gift she gives.

"That's nice to say. But it's better not to see any evil on your wedding day. Haven't you seen enough on the battlefield?"

Gu Yuchu thought about it and thought it was not appropriate, so he said to himself: "Then what should I give? Embroidered quilt or beads? But will they like it? I still think they will prefer daggers." "Do you think people would like it?" People are just like you, they don’t like red makeup and prefer to be armed, and they dress in a neither-masculine nor feminine manner all day long. I think hairpin rings and jewelry are very good.”

"Okay, okay, where can I buy it?" Gu Yuchu looked down at his outfit, waved his hands, and walked forward first.

Ling Buhuo shook his head, rushed forward, took her hand, and walked through the bustling market.The handsome man and the elegant and agile woman attracted the envious eyes of many people.

"You really don't want to lose face when you are flirting with a man who is neither a man nor a woman on the street?" He said that just now. Gu Yuchu was angry in his heart, but besides being angry, he was also very touched. He was so flamboyant and intimate with a man. It was my first time walking among the crowd.

Ling Buhuo just smiled slightly, but held his hands tighter until they reached the largest jewelry pavilion in Qiongzhou City.

Gu Yuchu stood in this unique shop, looking at the various exquisite jewelry and hairpin rings in a daze. The last time she selected the hairpin in the jewelry pavilion seemed to be a long time ago.

"What are you thinking about!" Ling Buhuo patted her on the shoulder, and she just came back to her senses.

"It's nothing."

At this time, the boss came up with a smile: "Two customers, if you want anything, feel free to choose. Our store is the largest jewelry store in Qiongzhou City, and the items on sale are all the best among the best."

"Boss, do you have a hairpin that means a happy marriage and many children and blessings?" Ling Buhuo spoke for her. Gu Yuchu glanced at him obsessively. With this man by her side, she really had very little use for it. brain.

"Of course, I'll treat you here." The boss looked them both up and down, and then took out several beautiful brocade boxes, which contained many gilt hairpins with themes of grapes, pomegranates, lilies, mandarin ducks, orioles, etc. Hairpin, at first glance, he is a person who is very good at doing business.

Gu Yuchu opened it and took a look. It was quite good. She fell in love with the lingering pattern of the two orioles on the grapevine.

"This is good. Give me nine of the same ones."

"Nine of the same ones?" The boss was a little surprised. This was the first time he had encountered such a customer after doing business for so long.

"Well, no?"

"Yes, yes, but I dare to ask the guest if he wants to send nine different people? If so, this would be somewhat lacking in sincerity."

"What's your proposal, boss?"

"What a coincidence. I have the same style but ten different forms of oriole vine gilt and silver hairpins here, but I have to sell all ten of them together."

"Boss, you are really good at business." Gu Yuchu smiled in admiration. Sure enough, with 260 lines, he was the top scorer. "That's okay, then give me ten and this pair of pearl emerald bamboo leaf earrings." I’ll wrap it up.”

Ling Buhuo took out his wallet and was about to throw it to his boss, but Gu Yuchu immediately intercepted it.

"No, no, no, no, I have money."

Ling Buhuo was a little unhappy, but the boss smiled and said respectfully: "The villain doesn't want money."

"You don't want money?" Gu Yuchu's eyes widened. There is no money to be made in this business. What kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd? "Then what do you want?"

"When the princess comes to the shop, the villain is not very happy. He dares to ask the princess to give one of the ten silver hairpins to display in the shop."

"Do you recognize me?" Gu Yuchu never expected that he would become a celebrity known to everyone.

"You're so good at planning. You found a living sign to help you attract business." Ling Buhuo squinted his eyes and said leisurely.

"Princess, the city wall defeated the female general Beiling. The battle shocked the whole city. No one knew about it. I was even more fortunate to witness it at that time. I am really lucky."

"Even so, I can't take advantage of you in vain. If you don't accept the money, I won't take it anymore." Gu Yuchu refused for no reward.

"They all say that a silver hairpin is worth a thousand pieces of gold. From now on, the store will have a steady stream of business, and he will not lose at all." Ling Buhuo pointed out to Gu Yuchu that the boss's wishful thinking had caused this business The man rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed.

Gu Yuchu thought about it for a long time, and it turned out to be the truth: "Well, I'll pay for the earrings separately, and the rest will be as you say, that's fine."

"Thank you, princess, for your kindness." The boss was very excited and hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed in greeting.

"Boss, you've suffered a big loss, why are you talking about a big favor? Wrap each one individually for me, thank you." Gu Yuchu was in a happy mood, so he randomly selected one and gave it to the boss, and quickly paid a certain amount of gold, not even being in a hurry to find change. He put on the pair of earrings and looked at the bronze mirror in the store for a long time.

On the second day, Gu Yuchu put on a new wisteria-colored dress that Fan Yuan had sent in advance, a honeysuckle hairpin, and pearls, emeralds, and bamboo leaf earrings. It was very bright and beautiful. She liked it very much, but she was not outstanding. Exquisite.

When I opened the door and went out, I saw red silk hanging high in my eyes, which was very festive and made the extremely solemn military camp suddenly lively.

Ling Buhuo waited outside her door early, and his eyes lit up when he saw her wearing new clothes.

He used to always hope that she would be like other girls, only thinking about wearing beautiful clothes and beautiful jewelry every day, living a relaxed life without worrying about other things, but because of his careful love, he did not want to put his own Ideas were forced upon her, made her unhappy, and forced her to dodge beyond her reach.

"Does it look good?" Gu Yuchu was a little embarrassed. After being with him for so long, except for the dress up when he was forced to participate in the Lejia Ancestral Temple ceremony and the red makeup for the snowy decisive battle in Tongcheng, it seemed that he had never dressed up seriously, let alone specially dressed for him. .

It's a bit strange to think about it. Qi Jian tried his best to get her to put down the blade and become a woman again, but Ling Buhuo didn't seem to care. No matter what she was wearing, she didn't say a word. But the more this happened, the more she had the urge to put on makeup. Show him off.

Especially when he underestimated her so much yesterday, she felt dissatisfied, so she seized this rare and unintentional opportunity to let him see that she was somewhat pretty.

"It looks good, I like it very much." Ling Buhuo laughed and did not hesitate to praise.

"It's a great day today, have you prepared any gifts?" She felt a little embarrassed, straightened her hair unconsciously, and changed the subject.

"It's not like you're getting married, so why should I prepare any gifts?"

Although it was a joke, Gu Yuchu's heart sank. She had never thought that she could still have a marriage, but his words completely distanced her from him, which made her unconsciously feel disappointed.

"If it were me, I wouldn't need you to send gifts." She lowered her head and smiled, and after a while, she slightly adjusted her tone, "But this is different. He He has already joined Beiling. In the name of the prince of Beiling, naturally, It’s better to show something.”

"If I get married, what gift will you give me?" Ling Buhuo saw the sadness in her eyes, so he didn't answer the question and talked about something else.

"I'll give you whatever you want." Gu Yuchu endured the pain in his heart and forced a smile.

"Seriously?" Ling Buhuo smiled with satisfaction, raised his hand and touched his chin, thinking thoughtfully.

"Yes." She lowered her head and promised, very firmly and sincerely.

"I remember your promise, and I will come to negotiate with you when the time comes." After saying that, Ling Buhuo gently scratched the bridge of her nose, turned around and left happily.

Gu Yuchu looked at his back stupidly, thinking about what he might want.
