Chapter 225 You are mine

Lu Ziqin turned his head to look at Gu Huayu and said, "How many true gentlemen are there in this world? It's always good to be on guard against one or two."

Gu Huayu thought of Wang Peiyun going to the shop to look for trouble, so she nodded and said, "What about you? If you offend them, they will look for trouble for you, right?"

Lu Ziqin hugged Gu Huayu into his arms again, shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of them. At worst, I won't enter the official career and live my life as I want. I just can't give Xiaoyu a dignified and decent life, I'm afraid I will wrong you."

Gu Huayu said with a smile: "It's okay. Now I am the princess. In the eyes of ordinary people, I am already very noble. If we are getting married, you will be the guest of honor, which is not bad, right?"

Lu Ziqin smiled, lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "How about the princess give me the status of guest of honor as soon as possible?"

Lu Ziqin's breath spread on Gu Hua Yuyu's neck, making her feel itchy.

Gu Huayu hunched her neck and hid while replying: "Easy to say, easy to say. When I avenge my family, I will take you in!"

Lu Ziqin sat up straight and said seriously: "Xiao Yu, I will ask my mother to come to propose marriage first, and we will get married after you have avenged your great revenge. Okay?"

Gu Huayu shook her head and refused without thinking, "No, what happened back then was not simple, and I don't want to involve you."

Lu Ziqin's face darkened in displeasure, "Xiaoyu, we are so close, are you still pushing me away?"

Seeing that Lu Ziqin was angry, Gu Huayu hurriedly explained: "Qingyan, please listen to my explanation, I am not pushing you away..."

Lu Ziqin asked: "Then why don't you let me come to propose marriage?"

Gu Huayu raised her hand and scratched Lu Ziqin's frown, and said gently: "Don't be anxious, just listen to what I have to say."

Lu Ziqin looked at Gu Huayu without saying anything, waiting for her to continue.

Gu Huayu said: "Qingyan, if we discuss marriage now, we will be tied together openly, and the Duke Chengguo's palace will be involved with you, so we will naturally be involved.

 You know what happened back then was not simple. Before finding out the other party's details, we need to think one more step.

 I don’t want to hurt our relatives and friends who care about us just for revenge. We must avenge ourselves, and we must protect those who love us. "

Lu Ziqin thought about it and said, "Okay, it's up to you. However, you have to let Mrs. Ping and the others know about our affairs."

“What? Are you afraid that grandma and the others will discuss marriage for me?”

Lu Ziqin took over the words, "I've learned from the past, you want to do it again?"

Gu Huayu raised her eyebrows, looked at Lu Ziqin with a smile on her face, and said jokingly: "You have already made up your mind with someone, wouldn't it be unfair if I don't discuss marriage with them?"

 Lu Ziqin hugged Gu Huayu close and said, "Little girl, you deserve a beating!"

Gu Huayu raised her chin and said arrogantly: "How dare you!"

Lu Ziqin kissed Gu Huayu's cheek and whispered, "It's not that I don't dare, it's that I'm reluctant to let go."

After finishing speaking, Lu Ziqin looked at Gu Huayu lovingly, and then said: "I know, Xiaoyu can't bear to make me sad."

Looking at each other, Gu Huayu was intoxicated by Lu Ziqin's gentle gaze.

 She wished that time could stand still and stop at this moment forever. They only have eyes for each other.

Lu Ziqin raised his hand and pinched Gu Huayu's chin, and said seriously: "Xiaoyu, promise me. No matter who comes to ask for marriage, you can't agree. You are mine!"

Gu Huayu saw worry in Lu Ziqin's eyes. She knew that this was the look of someone who was insecure.

Gu Huayu raised her hand and touched Lu Ziqin's extremely beautiful jawline, nodded in agreement, and replied domineeringly: "Remember what you said yourself, stay away from your mother when you go out, you are mine."

Lu Ziqin leaned his head against Gu Huayu's hand and rubbed it, like a coquettish cat.

Gu Huayu was petrified by Lu Ziqin's movements, and her heart felt like it had fallen into a pile of cotton, soft and warm...

Lu Ziqin smiled like a flower, looked at the dumbfounded Gu Huayu, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Gu Huayu raised her hands and put her arms around Lu Ziqin's neck, buried her head in his chest, and murmured: "Qingyan, your smile is so beautiful, I'm going to die. What should I do?"

Lu Ziqin lowered his head and whispered: "Then take your life..."

Before Lu Ziqin finished speaking, Gu Huayu straightened up and pulled Lu Ziqin towards the inner room, "Lonicera is coming, you go inside to take shelter."

Gu Huayu pulled Lu Ziqin into the back room, looked around, pushed Lu Ziqin to the bed, "Lie down."

Lu Ziqin obediently lay down on the bed. Gu Huayu pulled off the quilt and covered him, and warned: "Don't make any sound."

 Lv Ziqin responded: "Okay."

Gu Huayu settled down with Lu Ziqin, opened the door and went out.

After a while, Ling Dong led his servants in with midnight snacks and said, "Princess, you didn't eat much for dinner. My servant made some braised skewers for you. It was made according to the way the princess went to Islam, and there was also a bowl of white fungus porridge. , Princess, try it?"

Gu Huayu pointed to the table in front of her, "Okay, put it here, thank you."

Seeing that Gu Huayu was willing to eat, Liandong happily put the things over and said, "Thank you for what you are doing. Taking care of the princess is the responsibility of the servants. The princess will try it and see what she did wrong. I will pay attention to it next time."

Gu Huayu looked at the skewers in the pot and said, "I'll eat it later. You go down and rest first, and come back to clean it up tomorrow morning."

Lonicera bowed her knees and said, "My slave, I'll take my leave now. Good night, princess."

When Lonicera had gone away, Gu Huayu turned around and went into the back room, shouting to Lu Ziqin who was on the bed: "He's gone, get up, there's something delicious to eat."

 Lu Ziqin heard the conversation between Gu Huayu and Lonicera and sat up, "What are braised skewers? Do you like to eat them?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "Well, it tastes good. Come and try it."

The two returned to the living room. Lu Ziqin curiously looked at the small stove on the table and the pot on the small stove, and asked, "Isn't it hot to eat this on a hot day?"

“Hot! If you are by the river, eating skewers with the river breeze, it will feel very...comfortable.”

When the word "shuang" came to her lips, Gu Huayu paused and changed it to "comfortable".

Lu Ziqin sat down. Gu Huayu mixed the dipping sauce for him and asked, "Is it a little spicy?"

 Lv Ziqin nodded, "Okay, I can eat spicy food."

“For a late-night snack, just a little spicy is fine. Too spicy will make your stomach uncomfortable.” Gu Huayu said as she put the prepared dipping sauce in front of Lu Ziqin.

He then took a few skewers of meat and put them on the plate in front of Lu Ziqin, "Dip it in the sauce like this and try it. Does it suit your taste?"

Lu Ziqin followed Gu Huayu's example and ate it. When the meat entered his mouth, it was immediately filled with delicious aroma. His taste buds were immediately awakened. Lu Ziqin perked up and nodded to Gu Huayu and said, "It's delicious."

Seeing that he was eating in a hurry, Gu Huayu reminded him: "Slow down, be careful not to burn it."

Lu Ziqin slowed down and said while eating: "This pot is good, where did you buy it?"

  Gu Huayu asked Luo Haoran to make the pot. It is made of special food-grade steel, which cannot be made with the craftsmanship of this era.

Gu Huayu joked: "When I was in the south of the Yangtze River, I bought it from the caravan going out to sea. I also bought this furnace from them."

Nowadays, according to Gu Huayu's principle, anything that cannot be explained can be attributed to the caravan going out to sea.

 Since no one around me has ever been to the sea, there is no way to verify the truth of the matter.

As expected, Lu Ziqin didn’t ask any more questions.

 The two of them ate and talked until the end of Haimo, when they stopped.

 Lv Ziqin looked at his watch and said, "It's so late, I have to go back."

Gu Huayu stood up and said, "Okay, I'll see you off."

Gu Huayu sent Lu Ziqin to the wall. Lu Ziqin looked up at the tall tree and said worriedly: "What should I do? I can't climb trees."

Gu Huayu smiled and reached out to open the door on the side, "No need to climb the tree, come out from here."

Lu Ziqin's eyes widened in surprise, "Is there a door here? When did you pretend it was done? Why didn't I see it?"

As he said that, Lu Ziqin stepped forward and touched it. The door felt similar to the wall.

Gu Huayu explained: "It has been a while since I dyed the door the same color as the wall and then processed it. It can't be seen without looking carefully."

Lu Ziqin nodded with satisfaction, "This is good. You don't have to climb the wall when you come back."

When Lu Ziqin was about to go out, he whispered to Gu Huayu: "I'll be back tomorrow night, remember to leave the door open for me."

Gu Huayu smiled and nodded, "Okay, come here at Youmo."

Lu Ziqin raised his hand and rubbed Gu Huayu's head, "Go back, I'm leaving."

 “I’ll take you to the car.”

Lu Ziqin stopped him and said, "No, it's not good for others to see."

Gu Huayu nodded, "Okay, then I'll watch you get in the car."

Lu Ziqin returned to Chengguo Duke's Mansion. Ru Jin saw that Lu Ziqin's clothes were torn and asked, "Why are my clothes torn?"

Lu Ziqin looked back at Ru Jin, didn't answer, and continued walking forward.

 Ru Yan looked at Ru Xuan and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ruxuan reminded softly: "If you don't want to go to Longxi like Ru'an, just shut up and don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked. Understand?"

 Ru Yan nodded belatedly, "Oh! I understand."

In the following days, Lu Ziqin stayed at the Chengguo Palace to read during the day, went out at the beginning of the day every night, and returned to the Chengguo Palace at the end of the day.

 The Dechang Bank on Mahang Street opened on the eighth day of June. The affairs of the bank were managed by Hua Datong. Gu Huayu did not intervene.

On the tenth day of the sixth lunar month, it was time for Mrs. Ping Laoping to fold gauze over her eyes.

When she got up in the morning, Mrs. Wang walked around Mrs. Ping with anticipation and worry, and asked: "Yanran, can my mother's eyes really see?"

 “Should be able to.”

Gu Huayu asked someone to close the curtains, leaving only a crack.

Before Gu Huayu was about to fold the gauze cloth, she said to Mrs. Ping, "Grandma, close your eyes. I will ask you to open them later, and you can open them again."

Mrs. Ping nodded in agreement.

Gu Huayu folded off the gauze and said, "Grandma, slowly open your eyes."

Mrs. Ping slowly opened her eyes and saw the light. When she saw the person in front of her, she was so excited that she burst into tears. "I can see again. Yanran, let grandma take a good look at you."

Gu Huayu knelt down and wiped Mrs. Ping's tears while saying with a smile: "I'm here. Grandma, please take a good look. Grandma's eyes are just fine. Don't cry. Crying too much is bad for your eyes."

When Mrs. Wang heard that crying was not good for Mrs. Ping's eyes, she quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "Mom, listen to Yanran. Don't cry. It's a big joy, we want to be happy."

Gu Dechang and Wan agreed: "It's a big joy, we should be happy."

"Princess, Mrs. Ping of Shi Mansion, Princess Jinglian, the second wife, and the third young lady have come over." A servant came in to report.

After hearing this, Mrs. Ping stood up and said, "I'll go out to greet you."

Gu Huayu stopped her and said, "Grandma, we can't do it now. The sun outside is too dazzling. Your old eyes have just seen the light, so you can't go out yet."

Mrs. Wang said: "Yanran is staying in the house with my mother-in-law. We can just go and greet her."

Mrs. Wang took Wan and others out to greet the guests. Gu Huayu asked someone to open the curtains and asked, "What do you think, grandma? Is it dazzling?"

Mrs. Ping shook her head, "It's not dazzling."

 Gu Huayu lowered her head to check and said, "Grandma's eyes are fine. You should always keep this. If your eyes feel uncomfortable, put a drop into them."

Gu Huayu handed a bottle of eye drops to Mrs. Ping.

Mrs. Ping took it, looked at it carefully for a while, and then asked: "Yanran, do you want to put it in your eyes?"

"Yes, this is eye drops, just drop it like this." As she said that, Gu Huayu put a drop into her own eye to show Mrs. Ping how to do it.

Mrs. Ping thanked her and put away the eye drops.

Mrs. Ping entered the house, ran straight to Mrs. Ping, took Mrs. Ping's hand and asked excitedly: "Auntie, can you really see it?"

Mrs. Ping nodded, "Yes, I can see. Last time, Master Minghui said that I can enjoy blessings in my old age. I was still thinking, if I am blind, where will blessings come from?"

No, Yanran is back and my eyes are healed. I can really enjoy a few days of happiness! "

Mrs. Ping nodded repeatedly, "Master Minghui is an eminent monk, and his mouth is as if it has been enlightened. Master said you can enjoy blessings, and you will definitely enjoy blessings."

Mrs. Ping turned to look at Mrs. Wang and said, "I will burn incense at Ci'en Temple another day. I would like to thank the Bodhisattva for blessing Yanran well, and thank the master for his kind words."

“Okay, now that your eyesight has healed, it will be easier to go anywhere.”

When Mrs. Ping saw Princess Jinglian coming in, she stepped forward to greet Princess Jinglian. After a while of greetings, everyone took their seats.

Gu Huayu took advantage of everyone's family activities to pull Shi Yamei aside and asked in a low voice: "How are you and Mr. Ye doing?"

Shi Yamei’s face turned red as fast as the naked eye could see.

Seeing Shi Yamei's shy look, Gu Huayu smiled and bumped her with her shoulder, "Okay? Aren't you angry?"

Shi Yamei blushed and nodded, "Well, I'm not angry anymore."

Gu Huayu leaned over and asked, "When will Mr. Ye come to propose marriage?"

Shi Yamei's face turned redder, her head lowered, and she whispered: "I don't know, how can I ask him this? It's like I can't get married."

Gu Huayu asked in a low voice: "How many times have you seen each other recently?"

Shi Yamei blushed and looked at Gu Huayu, "Three times."

"What are you two muttering about? Third sister, my aunt is asking you something." Yang Jing reached out and patted Shi Yamei.

Shi Yamei looked up at Yang Jing and whispered for help: "What did aunt say?"

 Then she looked at Mrs. Wang's silly smile, and then pricked up her ears to listen to what Yang Jing told her about Mrs. Wang's question.

“My aunt said that her cousin’s son returned to Beijing from abroad this year and joined the Ministry of Household Affairs as a doctor. He has not yet discussed the marriage. Would you like to meet him?”

Mrs. Ping asked with interest: "Sister-in-law, is it the child from Shulan's family? Where did he get the second place in the last subject?"
