After being picked up by the prince, Xiaojiaohua is wild and sassy

After a few days, as things at home gradually stabilized, the old lady urged Hua Yichao to go to Gu's house earlier to apologize. Unexpectedly, he had everything prepared, but before he left, the guard came to report , someone from the Gu family has already come to the door first.

When Hua Yichao arrived in a hurry, Gu Zhiyan was sitting at the stone table under the grape trellis in the yard.

It had just snowed, and every corner of the garden was still covered with a light layer of white. The dead branches of the grape vines climbed all over the pergola, and were also covered with a layer of white. Dots of stars were dotted on it, as if they were in full bloom. Pear blossoms also have a unique charm.

There was hot tea on the stone table and a brazier was lit next to it. Gu Zhiyan lowered his eyes to look at the flames swaying amidst the crackling sound. He didn't know what he was thinking. His light gray cloak was hanging loosely on his side, and he didn't care.

As if he heard a sound, he turned sideways and then stood up. The thick cloak slipped slightly from his shoulders, revealing the blue cotton robe wrapped around his slim figure. He seems to have lost some weight, and his facial features are more sharp and angular, showing a bit of coldness.

He casually picked up the hem of his clothes and looked up at Hua Yichao, who was rushing over, with a smile in his eyes, "Ah Chao."

Hua Yichao took a few steps and crossed over, "It's cold here, why don't you go to the hall and wait?"

Gu Zhiyan is a real scholar. Although his body and bones are not bad, he is not invulnerable to cold.

"It's not bad. I wanted to enjoy the scenery in the yard, so I asked the guide to go down first. This place is very good, but you don't have time to do it."

"You can't make do with a family." Hua Yichao answered casually and walked to the stone table, "Hurry up and sit down, I'll have someone warm the wine. You are warm. If you don't want to stay for a while, go to the hall. "

Gu Zhiyan lifted up his clothes and sat down, looking at him, "You're talking about me, but I'm looking at you, why are you wearing these clothes?"

Hua Yichao didn't wear much, just a dark red outfit covering her thin muscles, and her long hair was only tied up with a black hairband, making her look more casual and carefree.

"I came back from training outside and heard that you were coming. I was afraid that there was something urgent, so I came directly." Hua Yichao said.

"You need to wear more clothes when you're sweating..." Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiyan took off the outer cloak and put it on for him.

"When have you ever seen me suffer from cold sickness?" Hua Yichao raised her hand to block his movement. "Brother Gu, it's a coincidence that you came here today. I had originally planned to come tomorrow, so I asked you to get there first."

"Unfortunately," Gu Zhiyan shook his head, "I heard some rumors. That's why I came here today."

It is rare for the Hua family to go through the inner city of Jiaping when buying things. This kind of thing will be known after a little inquiry.

Hua Yichao just sat down and heard this sentence. She raised her head slightly and snorted softly from her throat, "Brother Gu, what do you say?"

Gu Zhiyan lowered his eyes, "Achao, I shouldn't mention these words, but you don't know how to say them, so it's appropriate for me to mention them."

Hua Yichao was silent for a while when she heard the words, as if she knew what the other party was going to say.

Gu Zhiyan paused and then said slowly, "I'll be honest, I came here today to discuss terminating the engagement with you."

After Hua Yichao looked around to make sure that Gu Zhiyan was not joking, she slowly said, "Brother Gu suddenly said this, is it because of me?"

When the two elders made an engagement, he did not break off the engagement because the Gu family was in decline at that time; but he has not gone through the process for a long time. First, he has been homeless these years and does not want to marry someone and stay at home as a widow. Second, there is room for both parties. There is a way out. If the engagement is not finalized for a day, both parties still have the right to choose. But actually delaying it for so many years has indeed delayed the girl's prime years.

Hua Yichao paused for a moment, then continued without waiting for the other party to speak, "This matter is my fault. Brother Gu can be forgiven even if he blames me."

"Don't worry too much, it's none of your business. My family understands your intentions," Gu Zhiyan shook his head and slowly explained, "Since my father became bedridden, our house has been hung with the false title of Duke. In fact, it is just a little more superficial than ordinary people. The ability to stay in Jiaping these years has nothing to do with you. "

Hua Yichao was noncommittal, "Brother Gu, do you think that I am an outsider? How can we discuss these things clearly when you come and talk to me? It seems that I am away from home all the time, and you have to run around for everything big or small at home. If Brother Gu discusses these things with me, , let’s talk about three days and three nights.”

"Every code is a code. If you want to find someone to help, where can't you find it? But the situation in my house these years has made other people want to stay away. I don't understand these reasons." He said , "Moreover, Ah Chao, I can clearly see from the outside that you and my little sister are tied together by force. Their temperaments and temperaments are not the same, and they are not compatible even if they are forced. I don't want you to be embarrassed because of our relationship. ”

Hua Yichao poured a glass of wine with her own hands and pushed it to the other party, "Brother Gu, although my parents decided on this marriage when they were ignorant, I have no objections. But if Brother Gu has a more suitable candidate, I will Give in naturally.”

Gu Zhiyan touched him and said, "We haven't seen each other yet. If you have someone suitable for you, tell me. It doesn't matter her family background. I don't want her to marry high, as long as she can live a stable life."

"You really don't treat me as an outsider..." Hua Yichao shook his head helplessly.

Gu Zhiyan lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said, "I'll have someone send back the original betrothal gift someday, so that's the end of it."

"Since you have made up your mind, I can't say much, just the bride price," Hua Yichao said with a smile, "If the Gu family marries you, then the bride price will still be the bride price. If the Gu family doesn't want to, just treat me as your brother." Add some makeup.”

"This is not proper etiquette. In the next two days, I will have someone follow the gift list..."

"I'll put my ugly words first, Gu Zhiyan, if you really deliver it, be careful not to even get through the door," Hua Yichao quickly interrupted him, not wanting him to refuse any more, and quickly changed the topic, " Okay, it’s not early now, let’s eat first.”

Hua Yichao let people into the Nuang Pavilion in the hall. The ground dragon in the Nuan Pavilion was burning extremely hot, and the heat was so intense that Gu Zhiyan couldn't help but take off his cloak and let him hang it on a wooden rafter nearby.

One after another, the maids carried exquisite food boxes, filled with steaming delicacies, fine wines and fine wines, and filled the room with fragrance.

Hua Yichao stood up and poured a glass of warm wine for each of them with her own hands, "Come on, you won't come back until you're drunk."

Gu Zhiyan shook his head and laughed at him, "I can't drink much with this amount, so don't try to persuade me."

Hua Yichao responded, "That's just right. If you drink too much, you'll stay here. I think you don't have anything else to do now."

Not that he was really busy anymore, Gu Zhiyan nodded, "That's true, now that the fighting has stopped, the overall situation has been decided, everything in the city is basically in place..." Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to come here.

"Brother Gu, have you made up your mind to follow this path?" Hua Yichao said, looking up.

He asked directly. After hearing this, Gu Zhiyan fell silent for a moment. (End of chapter)
