in the sound of swallows

Chapter 15

Gu Chaobei was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "If you really kill me, don't you just plan to get married and become a widow?"

The horse had already run far away, and the people behind him were all thrown away, and it was too late to go back.Shen Guiyan sighed helplessly, and simply relaxed. Anyway, he would be punished if he went back, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

"I've always been curious, why did Fourth Young Master Gu come to Shen's house suddenly and want to marry me? I have never met him before. It seems that I may not be able to catch the fourth young master's attention with my beauty."

Shen Guiyan thought about this question for several days, and finally had the opportunity to ask it.

Gu Chaobei slowed down, and the horse was walking on the quiet street. He bowed his head and whispered in her ear: "Although I have never met, I have always heard the name of Miss San. Since I was five years old, I have been different from ordinary people. Miss San is rumored to be precocious and quick-witted."

There are also rumors in the market that the third lady of the Shen family is born with extraordinary talents and has phoenix jade in her mouth, so she might be the destiny of her mother.

Shen Guiyan pursed her lips. I don't know why some people believed these bluffs.She was betrothed by Prime Minister Gu at the age of eight, otherwise she might be scrambled by several princes in the palace.The queen's life, those people really think that if they marry her, they can become the emperor?
absurd.

"I just want to know why the dazzling third lady disappeared from everyone after the age of eight. So I went to Shen's residence to take a look." Gu Chaobei said leisurely: "After taking a look, I'm right You are very interested, like a piece of beautiful jade wrapped in soil, you want to take it home and break the soil little by little to see."

Shen Guiyan was taken aback.

"soil?"

"That's right." Gu Chaobei put his chin on her shoulder, and said with a teasing tone: "Complicated rules, always thinking about not making mistakes, being as cautious as ordinary people, isn't it just being deceived?" Is there any dirt?"

With a soft snort, Shen Guiyan said goodbye.

If it is not involuntary, who would like to obliterate everyone?
Gu Chaobei raised his whip, and the horse galloped up, heading all the way to West Street.When Shen Guiyan came back to her senses, there was already a half-closed door in front of her, with a plaque on it that said "Drunken Flower Yin".

Zuihuayin, the famous brothel in the capital, is also the place where Gu Chaobei became famous.

Shen Guiyan opened her mouth wide: "What did you bring me here for?" Aren't you going to Luoxia Mountain?
Gu Chaobei hugged her off the horse, put one hand on her shoulder and said, "I'll show you a lot, let's take a look inside? They're all acquaintances."

Shen Guiyan: "..."

They are all his acquaintances, how can there be half of her acquaintances!

"Oh, why is it time for Young Master Gu?" Mother Ying came out in surprise, glanced back and said, "The girls have just fallen asleep at this hour. This is..."

Shen Guiyan subconsciously wanted to back away, but Gu Chaobei grabbed his shoulder and couldn't move.

"This is Miss Shen San."

Ying's mother suddenly realized, she didn't show any panic, she just smiled and said: "It's not lively here in broad daylight, it's okay for the two of you to come in and have a sip of tea."

Shen Guiyan was a little surprised. It is said that Gu Chaobei knew all the girls here. After all, she was about to become his wife. Did this mother not shy away from her?

After walking in, I saw that Zuihuayin was different from other places.There are no extra gauze curtains, it looks more like an ordinary tavern.There were two girls who got up early, sitting down with unkempt hair and eating snacks, and when they saw someone coming in, they quickly cleaned up their faces.

"Master Gu?"

Gu Chaobei took Shen Guiyan to find a place to sit down at random, and Ying Mama brought tea and breakfast.

"Sisters are just eating, I just took her passing by." Gu Chaobei waved his hands at the two girls, and they smiled shyly, nodded at Shen Guiyan, and then continued to eat snacks.

Shen Guiyan looked around, always feeling that something was wrong.How can a brothel look like this?
"What do you imagine a brothel looks like?" Gu Chaobei asked her in a low voice.

Shen Guiyan stretched out her hand and gestured: "There should be a concubine-colored veil over there, brocade cloth on the table, colorful brocade on the stairs, and a naked girl..."

Gu Chaobei nodded: "From the book?"

Shen Guiyan coughed lightly, acquiescing.She reads all kinds of books, except for the Four Books and Five Classics, strange tales, including some brothel chronicles... But this can't be said.

"It's not easy to be a singer and dancer." Gu Chaobei said lightly: "I'm afraid that I'm afraid that the evening will go to the court, so I only have food for the past few years. If you can't save old food money, leave this place. You might starve to death."

Shen Guiyan was slightly taken aback, and looked at the two girls in front.She looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, without makeup, and looked a little pale.When not looking at people, there is no smile on the face.

She always thought that the brothel was a gold-selling cave, and the women in it were promiscuous and only loved money.It turns out that there is such an inside story.

Stretching out her hand to touch her body, the clothes she just changed, only two taels of silver in her purse, which was saved from last month's monthly money.Shen Guiyan was a little worried when she saw the money, but after thinking about it, she still put it on the table.

"What are you doing?" Gu Chaobei raised his eyebrows.

"Breakfast money." Shen Guiyan buried her head in the porridge, got up and said, "You can't eat others for nothing."

"It doesn't need to be so much." Gu Chaobei couldn't laugh or cry: "I don't need to pay money when I come here to eat."

Ying's mother also happened to come over with a snack, Shen Guiyan took a look, quickly grabbed Gu Chaobei's hand, and ran out desperately.

"Hello." Gu Chaobei was staggered by her pull, and ran out after him in a stumble.

Shen Guiyan was afraid that Yingmao would return the silver to her. Although two taels of silver was a lot, it was really not much in this kind of place. She didn't know why she was out of her mind and wanted to give the silver, but let's run first.

Going out, but unable to get on the horse, Shen Guiyan looked at Gu Chaobei anxiously: "Hold me up quickly."

hug?Don't avoid suspicion anymore?Gu Chaobei's eyes brightened slightly, and he stretched out his hand to hug her onto the horse.Shen Guiyan pulled the reins, and when Gu Chaobei sat down firmly, he followed his example: "Drive!"

The horse neighed and rushed out, Shen Guiyan suppressed a scream, got used to the speed and bumps of the horse, and found that riding a horse was quite interesting.

On the contrary, Gu Chaobei was frightened half to death by her, and quickly snatched the reins: "Isn't it just two taels of silver? I will give it if I give it. As for running so fast?"

Shen Guiyan's ears turned red, she pursed her lips and said nothing.

Gu Chaobei couldn't help chuckling, reached out and took the rein and said, "I wanted to wait for some sisters to get up and let you watch a dance, but since they all ran out, let's go directly to Luoxia Mountain."

It stands to reason that it is best to go to Luoxia Mountain in the evening, because the sunset is extremely beautiful.But the two of them obviously didn't have that time to stay until the evening, so they could only go to Luoxia Mountain to have a look before they were captured by the Shen family.

As for why he went to Luoxia Mountain, Gu Chaobei didn't say, and Shen Guiyan didn't ask either.

There are many tombs on Luoxia Mountain, and the old and new tombs are all over the top of the mountain.Gu Chaobei took Shen Guiyan to a new grave.

Aunt Qin is a member of the Shen family, if her background is better, she can enter the Shen family's ancestral grave.But she was born as a maid, and Madam Shen didn't want to see her, so the body was sent directly to Yizhuang and buried at will.

Shen Guiyan looked at the words engraved on the tombstone, her body stiffened and did not move for a long time.

In Shen Qin's tomb, the unfilial daughter returned to Yan Li.

It is the grave of Aunt Qin.

This land is considered to have good geomantic omen, Shen Guiyan raised her eyes and looked around, there would be no graves crowding Aunt Qin, and the landscape was just right.

Slowly knelt down in front of the grave and kowtowed a few times.Gu Chaobei took out the incense and fruit from the saddle bag again, which seemed to have been prepared long ago.

Shen Guiyan took a deep look at him, Gu Chaobei was still smiling foolishly, but when facing the tombstone, he put away his smile, knelt down with her, and kowtowed respectfully.

"I think, you probably won't have the chance to leave the mansion, and you won't be able to help your birth mother's grave." Gu Chaobei said softly: "Since I'm going to marry you, I have to do something good. So help me You did probably what you most wanted to do."

After speaking, he looked at her sideways: "How is it? Are you very touched, do you feel that you have no regrets in marrying me?"

When she saw the tombstone, Shen Guiyan was really moved, but hearing this man say these words, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching, and she really wanted to punch him.

Can't you just say a few words affectionately like those young masters?Do you have to state your purpose so directly?Shen Guiyan looked at the tombstone dumbfounded.

Mother, look, my daughter is going to marry such a ruffian.It's a ruffian, but it seems more reliable than Mr. Pianpian?
The wind blowing over the grave turned out to be somewhat warm.Shen Guiyan placed the fruit in front of the tombstone, lit the incense again, and knelt together with Gu Chaobei until the incense burned out.

When going down the mountain, Shen Guiyan felt a lot more relaxed, and it seemed to be more pleasing to the eye when looking at Gu Chaobei.

"Are you about to fall in love with me?" Gu Chaobei touched his chin, and threw a charming smile at her: "I also think that such a man should be loved too much!"

Shen Guiyan: "..."

Taking back what I just said, it is still not easy for this person to be pleasing to the eye!

The two got on their horses and returned to the mansion, the closer they got to the Shen mansion, the stiffer Shen Guiyan's expression became.

"Don't be too nervous." Gu Chaobei said with a smile: "Everyone knows that I tied you out, if you want to punish you, you will punish me, it's not your turn."

And in the Shen residence, how could it be possible to punish Gu Chaobei?This is something I've already thought about.

Shen Guiyan covered her face, thinking that it was no wonder that this person was so unruly, yet he could grow up safely in the Prime Minister's Mansion until now.What a disaster for thousands of years.

Mrs. Shen and her two aunts were already waiting in the main hall. Bao Shan knelt down and received several slaps on the face, but she didn't cry, she just gritted her teeth and lowered her head.

When Gu Chaobei brought Shen Guiyan in, he heard Mrs. Shen's sharp voice: "This is the first time I heard that they are almost married, and the groom came and ran away with the bride!"
