Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 20 Bianjing
It was already freezing cold in December, and I didn't meet a single person along the way.

Walking together with Gu Qingyang, the journey has become neither rushed nor slow, even if he was a little rushed at first, now he has slowed down his pace.

When meeting in an inn or resting in a posthouse, Gu Qingyang would come to say hello to Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wang, being polite and thoughtful, and of course it was inevitable to tease Xiao Huaisu along the way.

Gu Qingyang's temperament is indeed pleasing, and his greatest advantage is that he can talk to anyone, this tact and sophistication makes Xiao Huaisu look up to him with admiration.

However, given that the eldest son took pleasure in teasing her, Xiao Huaisu's initial affection for him had plummeted, and even smiled a bit reluctantly after meeting him.

She is not a doll, nor is it Gu Qingyang's pet, she will be teased when she likes it, this son of a bitch has found the wrong object of entertainment.

But Gu Qingyang acted as if he didn't notice it, walked up to Xiao Huaisu, leaned close to her ear and whispered: "It snowed last night, I ordered someone to build a snowman in the yard, go and see if you like it?"

Xiao Huaisu pursed her lips, expressing her disdain, "I've stopped playing with snowmen a long time ago!"

"Oh?"

Gu Qingyang raised his eyebrows, but he became a little more interested, and looked at Xiao Huaisu up and down again, and then he propped his jaw with interest, and said distressedly: "Children at this age don't like to play with snowmen anymore, it really hurts." Brain!" Turning his head to Mrs. Du and the others, he said with a smile: "When I lived at my uncle's house, whenever it snowed, I would go crazy with my cousins, playing snowball fights, making snowmen, and playing with ice edges. There are five or six years old, but I haven't seen anyone who doesn't like it..."

Wang Shi smiled and came over to hold Xiao Huaisu, and let her lean into her arms, then explained to Gu Qingyang: "It's a boy's thing, girls don't like it much, and besides, it's so cold, I'm afraid it will freeze." Huai Su's body!"

Only then did Gu Qingyang clap his hands and stood up, looked at Xiao Huaisu meaningfully, and said with a smile: "No wonder grandma said that girls should be pampered, they really are different from us."

Xiao Huaisu snorted lightly, turned his head away slightly, obviously not paying attention.

It's just that the gourd jade pendant on her waist made her feel a little panicked, since she gradually lost her affection for Gu Qingyang, why did she still keep his things?

Pay it back, it seems to be hitting someone else in the face again!

Come on, I'll put it at the bottom of the box when I turn around, she will never wear such a thing again, I'm afraid that's the reason why I hate people when I see things.

Xiao Huaisu and Gu Qingyang can't say that they hate each other, but she doesn't want to have a deep friendship with such a person, let alone enter a boudoir in the future, and as they get older, the two of them will no longer have any intersections.

After entering the city gate, the two families had to part ways.

Gu Qingyang got off the horse and bid farewell to Mrs. Du's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, "Qingyang will bid farewell to this, and I will definitely visit the house some other day!" After saying that, he clasped fists with Du Boyan, got on the horse, and left without looking back.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes gradually going away, Xiao Huaisu heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that Gu Qingyang had really left.

Even if Gu Qingyang wanted to visit the Du family, he couldn't rush into the group of female relatives in the backyard, he wouldn't have a chance to tease her again, so why is this kid so nervous? !
Wang's eyes were deep, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Mrs. Du noticed Xiao Huaisu's reaction, she couldn't help pulling her to her, and asked softly, "Why, Huai Su doesn't like him?"

Xiao Huaisu straightened his face, and said seriously: "What is grandma talking about? Huai Su is still so young, what do you say whether you like it or not, it's just that Shi Zi's elder brother will entertain me when he is free, and only I will be bullied when I am with him. , so, so..." So I really don't like it!
Old Mrs. Du couldn't help laughing, and took Xiao Huaisu into her arms again, "Look at this little girl, she will answer ten sentences if I say one, she looks like a little adult, I can't say no to her!"

Wang came back to her senses, and echoed, "That's not true, this girl is a little devil." After finishing speaking, she said with emotion, "But this kind of temper is good, everything can be seen clearly, and she won't worry about it anywhere in the future." Will be bullied!"

Mrs. Du also fell silent for a while, collected her face, and nodded slowly.

Xiao Huaisu knew that Mrs. Du was thinking of her daughter Du Boshu, so she didn't say much, just slowly snuggled into her arms and remained still.

After all, entering Bianjing City is different from being outside the city. Although the city is large, it is in good order. Even if you pass by on horseback, you can only walk slowly, not to mention that you must get off your horse and lead you in a crowded street.

In this way, the whole team of the Du family slowed down, and Xiao Huaisu also had the opportunity to see the bustling scene in the city.

Bianjing is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains and on the shore of the Yellow River. It is the core city of the Central Plains Economic Zone. Fenglou, Yimen has the reputation of "Emperor State since ancient times" and "Bianjing is rich and beautiful in the world".

Xiao Huaisu had been yearning for this ancient capital for a long time, and today she was able to set foot here and feel the ancient customs and culture here, she just felt her heart agitated.

There are people coming and going on the street, the shops are row upon row, and the sound of yelling and selling is connected together.

Xiao Huaisu was a little surprised, turned his head and pulled Wang's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, Chinese New Year is only a few days away, don't these shops and vendors rest?"

Mrs. Wang smiled, "It is precisely because of the end of the year that there are many people buying and selling things. The vendors here may not close their business until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. Some even open their doors at noon on New Year's Eve. Let's go home tonight and have a group reunion!"

"That's a good thing." Xiao Huaisu squinted his eyes with a smile, and stroked his palm again: "I don't like the deserted streets. Nowadays, the more people are watching, the more lively it is!"

Mrs. Du patted Xiao Huaisu's hand pitifully, "I'm afraid it won't be so lively if you have kept filial piety for your mother these few years. When the filial piety period is over, grandma will definitely take you around. , see and eat all the fun places in Bianjing City, okay?"

It is a child's nature to love to play, Xiao Huaisu is only three years old now and has to wear mourning for her mother, this kind of life is not bitter for her, Mrs. Du feels sad when she thinks about it.

Xiao Huaisu was startled, but slowly shook his head, took Mrs. Du's hand and stroked his face, "Huaisu is not bitter, grandma and aunt are very kind to me, and Huaisu spent a good time with you." Have a good time!"

"What a good boy!"

Mrs. Du nodded, her eyes were slightly red.

Mrs. Wang also felt that her nose was sore. Xiao Huaisu was always so sensible that it made people feel distressed. He had a good temper and a well-behaved person. Who wouldn't love such a child?

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the gloomy atmosphere only lasted for a while. Wang turned to talk about the cultural scenery in Bianjing City, "Outside Donghua Gate, the market is the most prosperous, where all kinds of food, fresh flowers and fruits, fish and shrimp Turtles and crabs, preserved quail and rabbits, precious treasures of gold and jade, and clothing are nothing more than wonders in the world... There is also a "Wasi" in the storytelling entertainment venue, which can accommodate thousands of people. Many popular storytelling and historical stories are told here The wonderful performance of the artist has spread to thousands of households."
