Rudonghai

Chapter 166 Marriage
After seeing off Xiao Xilin, Gu Yunxiao sat at the table with his chin in one hand in a daze.

Looking at her, Qiu Hong couldn't help feeling a little worried: "What's the matter, girl, but are you tired?"

Gu Yunxiao shook his head, suddenly remembered that Xiao Jiawei used to be in front of him, and couldn't help asking: "I just feel like I'm dreaming, and I'm going to marry Mrs. Taifu soon. Once upon a time, I thought that I could marry a For a well-to-do family, the husband doesn't have to be too ambitious, and he doesn't need to be a rich man, at least it's enough to respect each other as guests."

Who would have thought that one day, she would marry the aloof Taifu Xiao, a man who was like a banished immortal?

Qiuhong looked at Gu Yunxiao, with a bit of pity on her face: "What are you thinking about, girl? It is said that brides always think wildly before they get married. It turns out that it is true. Look at what the girl said. If adults hear it, I thought the girl was afraid to marry."

Gu Yunxiao was amused, shook his head and said, "If I really don't dare, won't I marry?"

"How is it possible, girl, stop joking." Qiu Hong was really afraid that she would go back on her word, even though Gu Yunxiao had never been favored in the Gu family, and was suppressed to death by a beautiful and talented sister, she felt that she was not good enough for her. Xiao Xilin's thoughts are also natural.

But Xiao Xilin never lets go of what Xiao Xilin likes.Gu Yunxiao is now so frightened that he wants to run away, and his son may have to arrest him and keep a close eye on him.

Qiu Hong smiled wryly, and persuaded: "Girl, don't scare the servant, if the adults find out, the servant will definitely be peeled off."

Gu Yunxiao smiled, and also felt that he was too hypocritical, and he was afraid that facing such a good man as Xiao Xilin, he felt a little uneasy.After all, her appearance is too ordinary, and she has no special strengths. Being able to marry Mrs. Xiao now is like a pie that fell from the sky, and she is a little dazed.

Looking at her expression, Qiu Hong cautiously reminded: "Girl, why don't you go for a walk outside the house to relax?"

With myself and Qiu Lu around, Gu Yunxiao's safety will definitely be protected, and it's not difficult to just walk around at will.

Gu Yunxiao also felt that he had stayed in the yard for a long time, and he was indeed a bit cranky, so he might as well go out for a walk.

"It just so happens that Baiyun Temple enshrines Yuelao. Miss, please go and fulfill your wish. Thank you at the other end of the red line for firmly enclosing your lord?"

Hearing Qiu Hong's teasing, Gu Yunxiao couldn't help laughing: "You girl, with one mouth, no one can refuse it."

Seeing that she agreed, Qiu Hong immediately went to do some packing and quickly prepared the carriage.

Mrs. Zhen Guohou also agreed, and felt that Gu Yunxiao was a little bored staying in Zhen Guohou's mansion all the time.

There are autumn reds and autumn greens in the carriage, the driver is Xiao Jiawei, and there are four following in the dark, it is really safe.

She glanced at the Xiao Mansion next door, and knew that these people were specially ordered by Xiao Xilin, and they were considered intentional.

As for the guards of the Hou Mansion, they are too conspicuous, so there is no need to follow them.

Gu Yunxiao didn't expect that when he went out, there were only two maids by his side, so he felt a lot more relaxed.

If there is a string of maids and guards behind, I am afraid that people will be surrounded like monkeys as soon as they go to the street.

"Miss, Baiyun Temple is not far away, and it will be there in less than half an hour. Just now, the lady only used two yuan of dim sum, do you want to use some more? Although these dim sum are not made by Fulai Restaurant, they are made by the cook of Hou's mansion." The taste is also excellent." Qiu Hong took out the snacks from the drawer in the corner, and Gu Yunxiao realized that the carriage looked ordinary on the outside, but inside it was full of heaven and earth.

Just this unremarkable small cabinet, with a small stove on the bottom floor, snacks on the penultimate floor, and tea leaves and dried fruits on the top.

The fire of the small stove is not high, so that the snacks are still warm just out of the oven, and the tea leaves and dried fruits on top will not get wet.

Qiu Hong saw that Gu Yunxiao was interested in the small cabinet, and said with a smile: "This is what the adults came up with. Going out in autumn and winter, after a long time, the food will be cold, and it is not good for the body."

Lighting a small stove not only keeps things from getting cold quickly, but also keeps the cabin warm without being stuffy.

Gu Yunxiao nodded, and couldn't help admiring: "This carriage is really nice, so it was used by Mrs. Xiao on a daily basis?"

Qiu Hong glanced at her, and said with a smile: "My lord doesn't go out many times, but I didn't want to wrong myself, so I drew the picture myself and asked someone to build such a carriage. Except for Mrs. Zhen Guohou who once sat in this carriage for two Come on, the girl is the only one."

Hearing this, Gu Yunxiao's cheeks were a little red, she nodded slightly, took the fragrant tea from Qiu Lu, lowered her head and sipped her mouth to hide her embarrassment.

Qiuhong also knew that she was thin-skinned, so she didn't make fun of it anymore, she just grabbed a few handfuls of snacks and dried fruits, and placed them in front of Gu Yunxiao, letting the girl eat as she wished.

The carriage was very stable, and I didn't feel much bumps while sitting.

Gu Yunxiao drank tea and ate warm snacks, feeling very comfortable all over, and didn't feel how far the journey was, as if he arrived in the blink of an eye.

When the carriage stopped, Qiu Hong handed over a wet handkerchief, Gu Yunxiao wiped her hands and the corners of her mouth, and then went down with Qiu Lu's hand.

She put on the gauze hat, and she could vaguely see that there were not many pilgrims outside, all of them were beautifully dressed girls.A faint fragrance wafted from their bodies, and each of them bowed down to the Moon Lao Hall in the center with expressions of anticipation and apprehension.

Qiu Hong stood beside Gu Yunxiao, and explained in a low voice: "It is said that this month's old age seems to be very effective, and many girls with sweethearts will come here to worship, in order to get their wish fulfilled."

But in her opinion, Gu Yunxiao's marriage to Xiao Xilin is probably the sweetheart of many girls present, and they are destined to return empty-handed.

Gu Yunxiao took the three sticks of incense from the autumn green spot, kowtowed respectfully to the old moon statue and inserted them, clasped his hands together, thinking that the heavens really treated him kindly.

In this world, there is probably no better husband than Xiao Xilin.

Suddenly her arm was bumped lightly, Qiu Hong hurried forward to support Gu Yunxiao with a cold face, while Qiu Lu stood in front and separated the little girl who bumped into her.

The girl was wearing a goose-yellow dress, she seemed to be frightened, with tears in her eyes, she apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I knelt for a long time just now, when I got up, my legs were weak, and I bumped into my sister inadvertently. "

"It's okay," Gu Yunxiao was not hurt, but was shocked all of a sudden.

Seeing that the little girl was about to cry out of fright, she couldn't bear it.

"My sister is kind, but my sister is not good at exposing it. It happens that there is a tea room in the backyard of Baiyun Temple. Please do me a favor and ask my sister to replace wine with tea and apologize to my sister?" After she finished speaking, she seemed worried about Gu Yun Xiao refused, and tearfully said: "By the way, sister, my sister's surname is Wen, and she just came to Beijing. It's also a fate to meet my sister."

Speaking of this, Gu Yunxiao had no choice but to refuse.It's rare to come out, and she also wants to see how the tea room of Baiyun Temple is, and whether the tea is the same as the old abbot of Huguo Temple.

Seeing Gu Yunxiao nodding, Qiuhong couldn't say anything, and she was on the side with Qiulu, separating the little girl.

She never believed that she could have a good conversation with a stranger if she met for no reason, and this girl was too enthusiastic, so she had to guard against it.

Qiu Lu also had a sullen face, and the girl timidly followed behind, like a wronged little daughter-in-law.

Gu Yunxiao was helpless, Qiuhongqiulu was very nervous, knowing that she was afraid that something might happen to her.Anyway, he is just a stranger, and he may never meet again in the future, so there is no need to be too warm.

"My sister's surname is Wen, don't you know your sister's last name?" The little girl sat down in the tea room, made tea with her own hands, filled it up, and handed it to Gu Yunxiao respectfully: "Sister, please drink, try my sister's tea." craft?"

Gu Yunxiao is not someone who is not vigilant, and the timing of this little girl's appearance is too coincidental. She took the teacup and did not drink it immediately, but greeted: "So it's Sister Wen, did you come here specially to pay homage to Lao Yue?"

She blushed and nodded: "My younger sister is from Luoshui in the south. I heard that Yuelao in Baiyun Temple is the most effective, so she rushed here with her maid. My mother said that my cousin is also in the capital, and I made a marriage promise before." , fingertips for marriage, this time my sister is here to find him."

Finger pulp for marriage?
Thinking of marrying a man she has never met before, and coming to Beijing alone to find someone, at this age she looks a little younger than herself, the little girl is very courageous.

Gu Yunxiao said with a faint smile: "Then let's first wish that sister Wen can get what she wants."

"Thank you, sister, Jiyan. My mother said that my cousin is a good person. My sister, I have been studying for more than ten years, and I have long wanted to come to Beijing to take a look. If it wasn't for the time, my mother would never let me come to Beijing alone. Seeing that Gu Yunxiao hadn't drunk tea, she drank two cups of tea without taking it seriously, without urging Gu Yunxiao to drink tea.

Soon, she got up and said goodbye: "I didn't expect to delay my sister for so long. I hope to meet again in the future."

Gu Yunxiao nodded slightly, and before leaving with Qiuhong Qiulu, he saw the little girl tugging her arm and whispering: "Sister, I forgot to say, my name is Wen Ruqi. Mother wants me to be like her sister, It’s just like my cousin’s mother. She has an outstanding appearance and is well-educated. After all, this aunt’s only name is Qi. Unfortunately, in the end, my appearance followed my father’s, not half of my mother’s. It is said that my aunt is much more beautiful than my mother. .”

Wen Ruqi said a few words before finally leaving.

Gu Yunxiao got into the carriage, shook his head and said, "This Miss Wen is a straight-hearted girl, she can say whatever she thinks."

Qiu Hong frowned: "My servant thinks it's not possible. Which family's girl will go to Beijing alone to find her husband? Not to mention that the road is very dangerous, and besides, she ran here without saying hello. It's not to catch her husband's family by surprise. It’s very disrespectful.”

What she didn't say was that Wen Ruqi kept declaring that she was married with her belly, but she didn't mention the marriage certificate. It was probably a verbal joke between the two families. She said it casually, but she didn't expect that this girl took it seriously.
