Chapter 185: Not to be taken lightly

Lu Ziqin rubbed Gu Huayu's head and said dotingly: "How can you live so transparently at such a young age?"

Gu Huayu smiled but said nothing.

Lu Ziqin suddenly remembered Gu Chengliang's apprenticeship, "I went to the residence of the great scholar Yang and personally gave Brother Liang's articles to the great scholar Yang."

 Gu Huayu sat up straight and asked in surprise: "Master Yang? Bachelor Yang who has been the husband of several princes? Then..."

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Yes, that's him. When my grandfather was still alive, he had a close personal relationship with Master Yang. Scholar Yang was a disciple of my grandmother's father, Bachelor Huang Xiaohuang. Therefore, I grew up with Master Yang. A lot of guidance, he is also my master.”

Gu Huayu nodded and asked, "Are your grandmother's parents still alive? Are they also in the capital?"

Lu Ziqin shook his head and said lonely: "My grandmother's ancestral home is Mingzhou. My grandmother died when my father was born, and my great-grandmother fell ill, so my great-grandfather took my great-grandmother back to Mingzhou.

 Last year I went to Mingzhou. My great-grandfather and great-grandmother passed away. I went to pay homage to them at their graves. "

“Your grandmother doesn’t have any other brothers or sisters?” Gu Huayu asked.

 Lv Ziqin shook his head, "No, they only have one daughter, the grandmother."

 Gu Huayu knew in her heart that this was not only heartbreaking for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person away, but the pain of losing an only child would linger for a lifetime, making people suffer from endless longing.

Gu Huayu said apologetically: "I'm sorry!"

Lu Ziqin shook his head, "Fool, it's not your fault. Why do you apologize?"

Gu Huayu asked: "Is there anyone else in the Huang family?"

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Yes, my grandmother has a cousin and a cousin, and both of them are living well now. After my great-grandfather and others returned to Mingzhou, they were the ones taking care of the two old people."

"Remember their kindness and help them as much as you can in the future!" Gu Huayu said softly.

Lu Ziqin shook Gu Huayu's hand, nodded and said, "I think so too."

 Gu Huayu brought the topic back, "Grandmaster Yang is a great figure. My brother..."

Lu Ziqin understood Gu Huayu's worries, patted Gu Huayu's hand gently and said, "Don't underestimate Brother Liang, I have read his articles. Although his writing skills are more immature, at his age, he can write It is not easy to publish such an article.

 It can be seen that Brother Liang is a hardworking person. Academician Yang likes hard-working students the most.

This morning, the boy next to Grand Scholar Yang sent me a message, asking me to take Brother Liang to the Yang Mansion another day. "

Gu Huayu's eyes shone with joy, "So, my brother is expected to become a disciple of Grand Scholar Yang?"

Lu Ziqin smiled and nodded, "Well, if nothing else happens, it should be fine."

Gu Huayu excitedly held Lu Ziqin's face and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you, Qingyan!"

Lu Ziqin was stunned at first, and then, before Gu Huayu retreated, he raised his hand and grabbed Gu Huayu's head, lowered his head...it took a long time to let go of Gu Huayu.

Lu Ziqin said hoarsely: "Thanks like this will make you appear sincere, right?"

Gu Huayu's face turned crimson and she beat Lu Ziqin with her fist angrily.

Lu Ziqin reached out and held Gu Huayu's hand, tilted his head and looked over, "What? Are you angry?"

Gu Huayu glanced at Lu Ziqin and couldn't help but laugh when she saw his nervous look.

 “Miss, we have arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi.”

Gu Huayu said: "Stop here."

 After speaking, Gu Huayu said to Lu Ziqin: "Qingyan, let's go in. Okay?"

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Okay!"

The two of them got out of the car, and Gu Huayu told Qing Yu, "You go in first, and I'll show Mr. Liu around."

Qingyu bowed and said, "Okay, I understand."

Lu Ziqin stood at the entrance of Zhuangzi, looking up at the powerful four words "Mingyue Villa".

 Lv Ziqin asked: "Is this written by Mr. Gu?"

Gu Huayu smiled and shook her head, "No."

Lu Ziqin said: "No, who wrote it? It's powerful, and the writing power is full of perseverance and courage. It's very well written!"

 Gu Huayu had a proud smile on her face.

After seeing it, Lu Ziqin asked: "Did you write it? Aren't you good at small regular script with hairpin flowers?"

Gu Huayu glanced at the four characters of Mingyue Villa and said: "The appearance and body are just fine. Come on, let's go in."

Lu Ziqin pointed to the words on the door, then looked at Gu Huayu, "Xiaoyu, is this still a makeshift?"

Gu Huayu nodded and said: "Compared with hairpin and small regular script, the Yan style can only be considered as a makeshift one."

 Lu Ziqin laughed.

Gu Huayu repeated: "Let's go in."

Lu Ziqin nodded and followed Gu Huayu into Zhuangzi.

 Everywhere Lu Ziqin looked, there were flowers.

Lu Ziqin stopped in surprise, then took two steps back to the outside of the gate, looked around, and then stepped into Zhuangzi again.

“Separated by a wall, it’s like two worlds. How long did it take for Xiaoyu to buy this village?”

Gu Huayu replied: "Zhuangzi came to me three years ago."

Lu Ziqin was stunned and asked, "Did you come to the capital three years ago?"

Gu Huayu did not answer Lu Ziqin's words, but only said: "Three years ago, I had dozens of Zhuangzi's land deeds. I was afraid that I would not remember them, so I named them Mingyue Villa, and the Zhuangzi's structure and layout were all the same. "

“Dozens of Zhuangzi? Bought at the same time? Where did you get so much money?” Lu Ziqin asked in surprise.

Gu Huayu pointed to the road on the right, "Qingyan, go this way."

Gu Huayu took Lu Ziqin through the rose garden and asked: "Does Qingyan know about the Dragon Mark Order?"

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Well, I've heard of it, the symbol of the Dragon Shadow Guard family leader. It is said that Hua Xu had been looking for the Dragon Mark Order back then."

Gu Huayu continued: "Then do you know that Hua Xu is already the commander of the Dragon Shadow Guard, why is he still looking for the Dragon Mark Order?"

Lu Ziqin shook his head and said truthfully: "I don't know!"

Gu Huayu looked around and said, "These Zhuangzi are all Longying Guards."

Lu Ziqin asked: "Does Zhuangzi know these things only if he has the dragon pattern order? So Hua Xu has been the commander for ten years, but he doesn't know these?"

Gu Huayu shook her head, "I don't know how much he knows, but I'm sure he knows a little."

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Let me tell you, he has already become the commander, so why has he been tracking down the whereabouts of the Dragon Mark Order?"

Gu Huayu nodded and said: "Hua Xu knew that the Dragon Mark Order appeared in Shicheng. He thought that the Dragon Mark Order was on Hua Bo and Su Er's hands.

Zhu Gongfang from the old house has been to Shicheng. The old priests from the old house only obey orders from the head of the family who holds the dragon pattern order.

 So, Hua Xu killed the old priest in the old house, and then framed Uncle Hua and Su Er. "

The situation found by Lu Ziqin is roughly the same. Asked: "Actually, the dragon pattern order is not in the hands of Hua Zhe and Su Jie, right?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "Yes, the dragon pattern order is in my hand. Before my mother died, she handed me and the dragon pattern order to my father and mother, and said that after I finished my hairpin, I would let my mother and father take care of it. Leave the dragon pattern order to me."

Lu Ziqin asked: "Hua Zhe and the others are in Shicheng to protect you?"

Gu Huayu shook her head: "No, at first, Uncle Hua and the others didn't know about my existence.

 When you went to Shicheng, it was also the first time I went to the county town with my father.

I met Uncle Hua in the county town. Uncle Hua saw that I looked very much like my father and began to doubt my identity.

 Later, my father-in-law and mother-in-law handed over the dragon pattern order to me in advance.

 Therefore, I got the inheritance left by my ancestors. These Zhuangzi are part of the ancestral heritage. "

Lu Ziqin looked at Gu Huayu and asked, "You look very much like Uncle Hua?"

Gu Huayu said: "Uncle Hua said that I am eight parts like my father and two parts like my mother."

Lu Ziqin thought for a while and said, "Xiaoyu, before you find out the truth, you should be more careful when you go out."

 Gu Huayu understood what Lu Ziqin meant and nodded, "Yeah, I've thought about this too. From now on, I'll put on makeup when I go out. Let's go to the top of the mountain to have a look."

Gu Huayu took Lu Ziqin to the top of the mountain, and the afterglow of the setting sun turned the sky orange.

 “Xiaoyu, it’s so beautiful here.”

“Well, there is no hustle and bustle in the city here. It is quiet and beautiful. I like it very much!”

Gu Huayu stood beside Lu Ziqin, looking into the distance and said.

Lu Ziqin turned his head to look at Gu Huayu. Gu Huayu was looking at him sideways, their eyes met. Gu Huayu said with a smile: "Qingyan, happy birthday!"

Lu Ziqin held Gu Huayu's hand and said softly: "Thank you! I am very happy today!"

 “I have a gift for you.” Gu Huayu smiled playfully at Lu Ziqin.

Lu Ziqin let go of Gu Huayu's hand and raised his eyebrows, "Really? What gift?"

Gu Huayu took out two exquisite brocade bags from her sleeve pockets and handed them to Lu Ziqin.

“What is this?” Lu Ziqin asked as he took the brocade bag.

“Open it and take a look.” Gu Huayu said with a smile.

Lu Ziqin weighed it in his hand, opened the small one first, and took out a bottle of perfume from it.

 Smiled and said: "Xianglu!"

Gu Huayu nodded, "This is specially prepared for you. There is only one bottle in the world. It has your taste."

 Lu Ziqin felt very happy after hearing Gu Huayu's words. He eagerly opened the lid and saw that it was different from Nuanyang's design. "How to use this?"

Gu Huayu took it and pressed the nozzle. With a "chi" sound, the scented dew floated in the air like mist, like a scented rain.

 “Like this, if you press it lightly, the fragrant dew will spurt out.”

 Lv Ziqin took it and took a closer look, "This is very special. How is it done?"

Gu Huayu replied: "It is designed using the principle of pressure. This is a nozzle. You can try it."

Lu Ziqin pressed it gently, and the fragrant dew spurted out immediately. Because the opening was facing the sleeve, all the fragrant dew sprayed onto Lu Ziqin's sleeve.

Gu Huayu reminded: "There is a small hole here, take a look and aim it when spraying."

Lu Ziqin sprayed it again and looked at it carefully.

Gu Huayu was worried that Lu Ziqin would delve deeper into the perfume bottle, so she changed the topic and said, "The name of this bottle of perfume is 'Beloved'!"

 “Beloved? What’s your name?” Lu Ziqin asked.

Gu Huayu raised her head and looked at Lu Ziqin, "What? Isn't it good?"

 Lv Ziqin shook his head, "Very good! I like it very much! Thank you Xiaoyu."

Gu Huayu looked at another brocade bag and said, "There is another one, open it and see if it suits your liking."

 Lv Ziqin put away the fragrant dew and opened another brocade bag.

Lu Ziqin looked at his watch and looked at Gu Huayu in confusion, "Xiaoyu, what is this?"

Gu Huayu took the watch over and put it on Lu Ziqin's hand, "This is a watch. When I was in Hangzhou, I met a friend who went to sea. He brought it back from overseas. The one you have is just the same as the one I have. Pair, also known as couple watch."

As she spoke, Gu Huayu rolled up her sleeves and let Lu Ziqin see the watch on her wrist.

Except for the different sizes, the dials were exactly the same. The corners of Lu Ziqin's mouth couldn't help but turn up, "What is this called? Couple's watch?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "There are only two in the world, one for you and one for me."

Lu Ziqin nodded and said, "This is good, what's the use of it?"

Gu Huayu explained: "Wear it, no matter where you are, you only need to look at it to know what time it is. This is more accurate than an hourglass."

Lu Ziqin looked at it carefully in surprise and said, "So magical?"

Gu Huayu nodded, looked at her watch, and said, "It's Shenmo now. Let's go back now. It will take about a quarter of an hour to get to the yard."

Lu Ziqin raised his hand to his ear, listened carefully, and asked, "Is this the sound of it moving?"

 Gu Huayu nodded, "Yes, this is the sound of gears turning. There are many gears here."

 Lv Ziqin asked: “Can you open it and take a look?”

 Gu Huayu shook her head, "This cannot be opened without professional tools. Moreover, this is a precision instrument. It will be difficult to assemble it back after it is forcibly opened."

 Lv Ziqin nodded, "Xiaoyu, thank you for your gift, I like it very much."

Gu Huayu said: "It's getting dark, let's go back, have dinner and return to the city."

Lu Ziqin nodded, and the two of them came down from the mountain and returned to the courtyard.

Gu Dechang led everyone to the door.

Lu Ziqin stepped forward and bowed his hands in greeting. After greetings, Gu Dechang let Lu Ziqin into the room.

 After dinner, they sat together and drank two cups of tea. During this period, Gu Huayu talked about Gu Chengliang's apprenticeship.

After hearing this, Gu Dechang and Wan Shi bowed to Lu Ziqin again to thank him.

Gu Huayu looked at the time and said, "Mom and dad, it's time for us to go back."

Lu Ziqin stood up and said goodbye.

 Gu Dechang and Wanshi sent them out.

Wanshi pulled Gu Huayu behind and asked, "Xiaoyu, what's going on between you and Mr. Lu Liu?"

Gu Huayu had no intention of hiding it and said truthfully: "We like each other."

 Gu Huayu saw that Wan had something to say, and roughly knew what she wanted to say, so she said first: "I want to avenge my parents first before I can think about marriage.

 Master Liu also knows that he will wait for me. Don't worry, Grandma, I know what I'm doing and I won't make any mistakes. "

Wan Shi nodded, "That's good. Once you avenge Mr. Hua and his wife, and recognize your ancestors and return to the clan, your status will be the same as Mr. Liu's."

Gu Huayu said with a smile: "Even if you don't recognize your ancestors and return to the clan, your daughter must be talented, good-looking, rich, well-behaved, and smart. My daughter herself belongs to a top wealthy family and should not be underestimated by anyone." ”

Gu Huayu talked nonsense and dissipated all the worries in Wan's heart.

"Yes, yes, yes, my Xiaoyu family is a top wealthy family and cannot be looked down upon in the slightest." Wanshi said with a smile.

 Farewell to Gu Dechang and Wan Shi, they got into the car and Qing Yu drove back to the city.

As the car reached the official road, Lu Ziqin reached out and held Gu Huayu in his arms, and said softly: "Xiaoyu, I must have done all the good things in my last life."
