Value peace

Chapter 82
Cui Baoyi's slender figure landed on the ridge of the east wing like a butterfly, undulating a few times before disappearing into the vast night.

Only then did Gu Xiyan dare to take a big breath.

Duan Yingluo's expression was as usual, she got up from the bed with a calm smile, and gently stroked her messy temples.

Gu Xiyan also got up and sat up, pondered for a moment, and then asked Duan Yingluo about the conversation between Cui Baoyi and Huilan.

Duan Yingluo took the trouble to explain it to her in detail, but omitted Huilan's sarcasm that she was not as educated as Gu Chaorong.

Gu Xi's face was serene, her eyelids drooped as she listened, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

She felt that many strange things had faint answers.

For example, why did Cui Baoyi choose the Gu family as her place of residence, why she ended the business of Xiaoxiang Girls' School without any regrets and chose to enter the palace.

But what kind of book is that?
Gu Xiyan frowned slightly.

She thought of the jade pendant engraved with ancient Xia characters that Cui Baoyi gave her, and the bewildered look on her face when she talked about Gu Xia characters... It is said that the Gu family is a family of poets and books. Could the book Cui Baoyi is looking for be related to Gu Xia? Does Xia Wen have anything to do with it?It's a pity that I am a counterfeit, no matter whether it is the secrets of the Gu family or the deeds of the predecessors of the Gu family, I know less than Qi Maosheng... If Qi Maosheng was here, with his knowledge, he might be able to guess what kind of book Cui Baoyi was looking for. Woolen cloth?
Thinking of this, Gu Xiyan frowned even tighter.

Qi Maosheng, do you know if you have returned home safely?

Given his status and family situation, after returning to Yandi, he should get married and have children soon!After all, he has only one daughter under his knees.

The woman will also be a woman whose wealth, appearance and temperament are not inferior to Ye Zisu's!

Gu Xiyan's heart was empty.

Seeing Gu Xiyan's sad face, Duan Yingluo smiled and said, "Miss, are you worried about tomorrow's wedding? Should we change our plan and run away tonight?"

Ah, what are you thinking about now, I'm about to leave the Gu family anyway, Huilan is determined to seize this opportunity to change her own destiny, and Cui Baoyi has no intention of hurting anyone, so why should I meddle in my own business.No matter how precious that book is, keeping it in the hands of that scumbag Gu Baozhang would be better than giving it to Cui Baoyi!

But thinking of Qi Maosheng, she still smiled forcedly.

Duan Yingluo had a bad impression of Huilan at first, thinking that she was like those women in the inner courtyard who had nothing to do after eating, and she was so petty. He looked down on Whelan even more.

Seeing Gu Xi's sad face, she smiled heartily and comforted Gu Xiyan: "Young lady, why should you be as knowledgeable as these people? There is a world outside, and young lady goes out for a walk before she realizes that the sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap into." , the world is vast..."

Yes, since I have already decided to give up, let alone hold on tightly, and no one knows when I am sad... only myself is suffering.Life is like morning dew, so treat yourself better!

Gu Xiyan felt a little relieved, and smiled at Duan Yingluo: "Sister Duan is right. I will follow my sister from now on!"

Duan Yingluo laughed.

The next day, the wedding was held as scheduled, but there was a small error in the preparation.

According to the custom, the girl's dowry maids have to sit in the same car with the groom's nuns to go back to the man's house, but this time the Gu family sent eight girls in one go instead of the two girls according to the prior list. There was not enough money, and the people from the Zuo family hurried around, so the Gu family temporarily borrowed two carriages to Zuo's house, and then they sat down in different places.

When the newcomer arrived at the gate of Zuo Mansion, Zuo Xiaoyu, who was dressed in red as a groom, jumped off the horse amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers and opened the curtain of the sedan chair by herself. She was a little hasty in her actions, which angered the neighbors who were watching. There was a burst of laughter, and some of Zuo Xiaoyu's colleagues yelled: "Commander Zuo, you can't wait to enter the bridal chamber..."

It made everyone laugh again.

Zuo Xiaoyu had a rare flash of embarrassment, lowered her head slightly, glanced at the corner of her eyes, but saw a familiar figure jumping out of the carriage of the dowry girl beside her.

He looked over in disbelief.

She has a slender figure with exquisite curves, magnificent facial features, sweet and quiet, and delicate skin with icy muscles.

He couldn't help looking at the bride in red dress in front of him, and then at the figure walking towards the backyard following the welcome nun of Zuofu.

Seeing Zuo Xiaoyu standing there in a daze, the people next to him booed and swarmed up, pushing and shoving him towards Xitang.

The crown prince Yang Yu represented the emperor to attend his Xi Yan ceremony today, and he is still waiting for him to return to the palace after paying homage!

That person has entered the Zuo Mansion after all, let's talk about it after the wedding!

Zuo Xiaoyu made up her mind, suppressed her doubts and followed everyone's footsteps towards Xitang.

* * * * * *
Gu Xiyan and Duan Yingluo jumped out of the last carriage, followed a group of nuns and maids into the side courtyard and walked towards the inner courtyard. Suddenly, Duan Yingluo, who was holding a small wicker suitcase, supported Gu Xiyan and called out. Said: "Mommy, Xi'er has eaten up his stomach, where is there a hairy toilet?"

The nuns from Zuo Mansion came over with a smile on their faces, and were startled when they saw them.

The two dowry girls of the Gu family were really handsome.I'm afraid I knew the inner courtyard of the Zuo Mansion was complicated, so I chose the Tongfang girl on purpose.It seems that the inner courtyard is going to be lively again!

The thought flashed by, and she enthusiastically led them to a remote courtyard in the side yard. Duan Yingluo quickly thanked the nanny, and said with a smile, "Go, nanny, I will help her into the house when she gets better." It’s just the courtyard. Our girl will be famous later!”

The nanny hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile, "Then I won't be with the girl anymore!"

Duan Yingluo smiled and said, "Mommy, go quickly, I'm here."

Mammy said a few more words of advice, and quickly walked out of the side yard.

Gu Xiyan got out of the toilet and let out a long breath: "This toilet is really dirty!"

Duan Yingluo smiled indifferently: "It's too late for the girl to regret it now!"

Gu Xiyan snatched the wicker from Duan Yingluo's hand with a playful smile and turned around to enter the toilet. After a while, a little girl in plain clothes came out. She was hunched over with a yellow face, as if she had some serious illness. of.

Duan Yingluo smiled and said, "Well, that's what happened. It's still too beautiful."

Gu Xiyan cast a sideways glance at Duan Yingluo, her eyes were shining, charming and moving: "Go and change your clothes, lest someone find it."

Duan Yingluo also went into the toilet with a smile and changed into a plain attire.

The two walked out of the side courtyard calmly, when a person in charge saw them on the road and was about to say something, Duan Yingluo hurriedly followed by Gu Xiyan gave that person a blessing, and said with a smile: "We are the dowry of the Gu family. The rough envoy girl, the mother over there told us to find Li Guanshi, who sent us off, and said that the Gu family borrowed a carriage from your mansion, so don't go back in a hurry, the girl will give you a reward later. This master, Do you know where the carriage in our mansion is parked?"

"What about your mansion and our mansion? If the girl enters the Zuo mansion, she is from the Zuo mansion." The man laughed and teased a few words, then pointed to the front and said: "Girls go straight from here and turn around the corridor, which is the outer courtyard." Now, our Guanshi is there to accompany the people in the house to see off their relatives, you go over there and ask!"

The two thanked each other, and went to the outer courtyard according to what the man said.

The outer courtyard was decorated with lanterns and festoons, but there were not many guests around the wine table, and everyone went to the main hall to watch the worship hall.Even so, when they walked out of the Zuofu gate, the Tsing Yi steward stopped them and asked a few words, knowing that it was the Gu family's rough envoy who was assigned by the mother to find a car before letting them go.

The two left the Zuo Mansion, but they did not look for Gu's carriage. Instead, they turned a few corners under the leadership of Duan Yingluo and entered a dead end.They waited for a while, and a green curtain oil truck stopped at the entrance of the alley. An old man in his fifties was sitting on the shaft, with a medium build and white beard and hair. Duan Yingluo took Gu Xiyan's hand and got into the car. Unexpectedly, there was a woman in her forties sitting in the car, with a dignified appearance, gorgeous clothes, and a good temperament.The woman nodded to them as a greeting, and then said to the old man: "Mr. Yuan, thank you for your hard work."

The old man didn't make a sound, the whip cracked in the air, and the carriage began to move forward with a rumble.

Xizhao's wedding was at night, a quarter past seven was an auspicious time, and now it is around eight o'clock. In ancient times, people had limited evening entertainment and went to bed early. Except for some romantic places, there were no pedestrians on the road.

The car soon arrived at Chunming Gate, where the torches as thick as arms were shining brightly in front of the tall city gate. There were sergeants patrolling back and forth on the city wall from time to time. Several non-commissioned officers in armor stood.Seeing their carriage, everyone looked over. Mr. Yuan parked the carriage in front of the case of the young officials in Tsing Yi, and one of them came up to greet him: "Uncle Yuan, have you received your aunt?"

Mr. Yuan nodded, and took out a few pieces of silver from his arms and handed them to the little official: "Wu'er, I will go have a drink with the masters later."

The little official took the silver and thanked him, and the carriage swaggered out of Shengjing City.

Gu Xiyan was speechless.

The city gates of Shengjing are closed at seven o'clock, and no one can enter or leave without the order of the Jinwu army.So her original plan was to stay overnight in an unremarkable inn in Shengjing, and leave the city early tomorrow morning. She didn't expect to tell Duan Yingluo that she would arrange for her to go out of the city. Gu Xiyan considered her As for the background, she told her that she was going to Lingdao, Duan Yingluo smiled and said, please rest assured that she will be sent to Lingdao safely.

Gu Xiyan had only been planning on paper for a long time, and when Duan Yingluo said this, she was greatly relieved at that time.Looking at the way people leave the city today, Gu Xiyan decided to follow Duan Yingluo all the way, and wait until they reach Lingdao before trying to find a way to get rid of Duan Yingluo.

A few stars fell here and there in the sky, and the round moon shone brightly, tearing apart the thick blue clouds.

The carriage was speeding on the spacious post road, Gu Xiyan was knocked dizzy, and the condition of the woman was not much better than hers, but Duan Yingluo waited on the woman very affectionately, and The attitude is very sincere, it doesn't seem to be because of the relationship between superiority and inferiority, Gu Xiyan suspects that this woman is Duan Yingluo's elder family friend or something.
