Chapter 318 Tacit Understanding

 After leaving Huafu, Mrs. Ping and Mrs. Wang returned to Wutong Lane first.

Gu Huayu took Lonicera to Qingren Pavilion, prepared medicine for Princess Jinglian, prepared precautions, and asked Qingyu to deliver it to the princess's residence.

"Princess, you wait here for me. I will deliver the medicine to the princess's house and come back to pick you up."

Gu Huayu said: "No, you sent the medicine and went directly back to Wutong Alley. This is not far from Wutong Alley. Lonicera and I walked back."

After Qingyu left, Gu Huayu played with Gu Zhizhe, Gu Zhijie and Gu Zhiyi for a while before leaving with Lonicera.

 Coming out of Qingrentang, Lingdong asked, "Princess, I want to visit the Silver Tower."

Gu Huayu turned to look at Lonicera, "Do you want to buy jewelry?"

 Landong nodded, "It's the princess' haircut ceremony soon. I want to choose a gift for the princess."

Gu Huayu felt warm in her heart and said, "No need to spend money, I don't need any gifts."

Ling Dong insisted: "I know that the princess is in need of nothing, but I just want to give the princess something. I hope the princess will fulfill this little thought."

"I have received your message. It is not easy for you to save some money, so you can keep it for yourself."

“I follow the princess, I have nothing to worry about about food and clothing, and I have no place to spend money. If I were not the princess, I would have been reincarnated for many years, so how could I enjoy the blessings I have now?”

Seeing her insistence, Gu Huayu couldn't resist her kindness. She thought about it and said, "Okay, let's make an agreement first and don't buy expensive ones."

"The princess does not need to save money for the slaves, the slaves have money."

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "How much money do you have? Keep your money and use it as a dowry in the future."

Ling Dong shook his head and said, "I don't want to get married. I will follow the princess all my life and serve the princess my whole life."

 Gu Huayu took Liandong's hand and walked forward, "You're talking nonsense again. You can follow me even if you get married. Why don't you get married?"

Lonicera said: "It's different."

Gu Huayu turned her head to look at Lonicera and asked, "What's the difference?"

“If you don’t marry, you only have the princess in your eyes and heart. If you marry someone, you will have children. If you have a man and a child, you will not be able to serve the princess wholeheartedly.

From the day the princess rescued the slave, the slave swore that she would be kind to the princess and only the princess. "

 While Gu Huayu was moved, she was thinking about how to persuade Lonicera.

Ling Dong seemed to have seen through Gu Huayu's thoughts, and then said: "Princess, you don't need to persuade me, I have already figured it out."

Gu Huayu looked at Lonicera japonica, feeling moved but also a little worried.

What should she do if she suddenly disappears from this world one day?

The people around her may be capable or have relatives, but Lonicera is the only one who followed her at a young age and has no skills. Apart from her, she has no relatives.

Gu Huayu slid her hand down and held Lonicera's hand, "Silly girl, she said silly things again. Some people like her more and more as they get more points.

 For example, your liking for me and your kindness to me. You are married and have children. Because of you, your children also like me and will be nice to me. The fact that you started a family has not reduced your kindness to me, but has doubled your kindness to me. "

Ling Dong thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, what if I find a man like my father who, besides drinking, beats his wife and children... If I don't marry, I will follow the princess."

Gu Huayu squeezed Lonicera's hand and said, "This is not Shangtai Village, and there is no man like Zhang Erwa around me."

 Landong looked up at Gu Huayu and asked, "Didn't the princess marry off her slave?"

Gu Huayu smiled: "There are a lot of bachelors in our family, and we can't solve it internally. How can the rich water flow to outsiders? What do you think of Qingyu? If I promise you to Qingyu, will you be willing?"

Thinking of Qingyu, Gu Hua was so blessed that she looked at Lonicera and asked.

Ling Dong blushed, lowered his head, and said sheepishly: "I haven't thought about it, I don't know."

Gu Huayu said with a smile: "Then start thinking about it from now on, and let me know when you think about it. Are you going to the Silver Building yet?"

 Lonicera nodded repeatedly, "Go!"

“Let’s go, there are two silver shops on Baizhang Road ahead, let’s go and take a look.”

The two were walking on Baizhang Road. Gu Huayu pulled Lonicera and walked to the right, "Go this way."

 “Gu Xiaoyu!”

Gu Huayu stopped when she heard the sound, turned around and looked over, and saw Li Tao chasing after her.

 “Why are you here?” Gu Huayu asked.

Li Tao caught up in a few steps, raised his hand and gave Gu Huayu a chestnut.

Gu Huayu didn't expect him to attack when he came up. She couldn't avoid being knocked on the head, "Li Er, are you looking for a beating?"

Gu Huayu touched her head in pain and bared her teeth at Li Tao.

"Stinky girl, how long have you been back in Beijing? Have you sent someone to tell me? You didn't tell me when you left, and you won't tell me when you come back. Tell me, do you still think of me as a friend?"

Gu Huayu stood back with a guilty conscience. In the past few days since she came back, things had been going up and down one after another. She really didn't think of Li Tao. Of course, you can't say this to Li Tao.

Gu Huayu stammered: "What, aren't you preparing for the Spring Festival? How can I dare to disturb you during this critical period?"

Li Tao stared at Gu Huayu and asked, "Damn girl, did you not think of me at all?"

 Gu Huayu did not dare to look at Li Tao and denied it: "How is it possible? Li Er, am I the kind of unkind and unjust person in your mind? I only care about you, but you dare to wrongly accuse me."

 Looking at Gu Huayu's aggrieved sample, Li Tao suddenly lost his confidence. He lowered his head and apologized: "Are you angry? I'm sorry, I wrongly blamed you."

Seeing that Li Tao was no longer concerned about the matter, Gu Huayu hurried down the **** and said, "I'm not angry. I'm not a stingy person. Why are you here?"

Li Tao said: "Come to look for you. I met Qing Yu on Jinshui Road. He said you were here, so I came to look for you. Where are you two going?"

Lingdong then interjected, bowed his knees and said, "Hello, Mr. Li. On the first day of the new year in the mansion, I will give you a hairpin ceremony for the county master. I want to give a gift to the princess, so I asked the princess to take me to the silver building to see it."

Li Tao raised his hand again. Gu Huayu stared at his hand and said, "What do you want to do? Put away your paws."

Li Tao asked: "Smelly girl, if I hadn't met you today, wouldn't you have even planned to tell me?"

"How could it be? I plan to ask someone to tell you tomorrow."

Li Tao stared at Gu Huayu, "Really?"

 “Really! More real than pearls!”

Li Tao said: "Okay, I'll trust you once! Let's go to the Silver House to pick out a gift for you."

Gu Huayu smiled and said: "One or two, they all want to give me gifts. I've made a lot of money today!"

 “You bastard, let’s go!”

 Li Tao walked forward. As he walked, he said: "Fulong Silver House or Baoqing Silver House, which one should I go to?"

Gu Huayu replied: "Whatever!"

With that said, Gu Huayu raised her head and looked forward, "Baoqing Silver Tower is closer. Let's go to Baoqing Silver Tower first."

Li Tao nodded and said, "Okay, let's go!"

 The three of them crossed to the opposite side of the street and headed towards Baoqing Silver Tower.

When the waiter saw a guest coming to the door, he greeted him with a smile, "Sir, please come to the room."

Li Tao took the lead into the store, turned to Gu Huayu and said, "Xiaoyu, what do you like?"

Gu Huayu said: "Anything is fine, it's just my heart. I like whatever you give me."

Li Tao looked back at her and said, "What you said is as if you didn't answer."

Li Tao didn't get an answer from Gu Huayu, so he turned to the waiter and asked, "Girl's haircut gift, what kind of gift would be more appropriate?"

The waiter blurted out: "Giving a hairpin to a girl's family is the most appropriate gift!"

When Gu Huayu heard this, she was so frightened that she hurriedly said: "Farewell, I have prepared the hairpin to say goodbye."

How can hairpins be given away casually? If King Qin's jealous king knew about it, she would have to spend all her time explaining it.

Li Tao didn't understand these common things. After listening to Gu Huayu's words, he asked the waiter: "What else is there? It needs to be expensive!"

 When the waiter heard that it was expensive, he immediately became energetic. He said: "Girls and queens with hairpins will inevitably be able to dress themselves up. The young master can give you a complete set of hair and facial hair, which is both elegant and practical."

Gu Huayu asked: "What's in the whole set of hair?"

The waiter leaned forward and said, "Miss, I have three hair combs, a pair of hairpins, and a pair of hairpins."

Li Tao asked: "Is there any ready-made one? Let's take a look."

"Hello! Sir, please come with me."

 The three of them followed the waiter to the second floor. "Sit over here, sir, Xiang'er, and serve tea."

The waiter asked the three of them to sit down, and then raised his voice and gave instructions to his colleagues.

 After a while, a child of twelve or thirteen years old came over with tea.

Li Tao first took a cup of tea from the tray and put it in front of Gu Huayu, then put a cup on the other side and said to Lonicera, "You can sit down too."

Gu Huayu said: "Lonicera come and sit down."

How could Lonicera dare to sit at the same table as Gu Huayu and Li Tao? He hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, I just need to stand."

 “You are a rich boss now, come on, come and sit down quickly.”

Li Tao picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and asked: "What gift are you going to give your master?"

 Landong looked at Gu Huayu and said, "How about I give the princess a bracelet?"

Li Tao took over the words, "A bracelet as a gift? Gold or jade? Gold and jade are not cheap."

 Landong looked at Li Tao nervously and asked, "Mr. Li, how much silver does a pair of fine jade bracelets cost?"

Li Tao stretched out his hand and said, "At least this is the number."

 Landong asked in a low voice: "Five thousand taels of silver?"

Li Tao shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. Five hundred taels will be spent."

After hearing what Li Tao said, Lonicera breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Okay!"

Li Tao opened his eyes wide and looked at Gu Huayu, "That's right. The little maid in your house is rich enough. She can earn five hundred taels of silver without blinking an eye."

Gu Huayu said: "This girl doesn't usually spend money. She has saved so much money for several years."

Li Tao looked at Lonicera, "You have saved up your capital for several years and bought all the gifts. Aren't you heartbroken?"

 Landong shook her head and said, "I will give you flowers to the princess, and I will be happy to do so."

Li Tao looked at Lonicera and nodded: "He is loyal, not bad!"

Gu Huayu said to Lonicera: "I don't like wearing bracelets, so there is no need to buy jade bracelets. Just buy me a jade hosta."

“Princess, you don’t have to save money for me.”

“Sir, please take a look.” The waiter came over with two boxes and put them on the table.

“This set of hair and noodles is the most fashionable style nowadays. The petals are made of red gold and the workmanship is extremely complicated. It took three masters half a year to make such a set of hair and noodles.”

Looking at the golden headband, Gu Huayu had to admire the craftsman's skill and the veins could be seen in every petal.

“How much does this pullover cost?” Gu Huayu asked.

The waiter replied: "Miss, this is the best noodle in our shop. It costs six thousand taels of silver."

 “Dongzi, my master is here, take his head and face.”

Dongzi stood up straight, turned around and replied: "Shopkeeper, the young one is waiting for the guests."

“Shopkeeper, go get the little one!”

The shopkeeper turned to the person behind him and said, "Miss Third, please go to the living room and wait for a moment while Xiang'er goes to fetch you a face."

Gu Huayu looked towards the stairs. When she saw Wang Peiyun appearing, she secretly sighed in her heart that she hadn't read the almanac since she went out today.

In the Shi Mansion, I met Princess Zeyuan, who disliked me. When I went out to go shopping, I also met Miss Wang San.

Li Tao whispered to Gu Huayu: "It's all my fault. I forgot to tell you that Baoqing Silver Tower is the dowry of Mrs. Shangguan."

Gu Huayu shook her head and said softly: "It doesn't matter."

Wang Peiyun also saw Gu Huayu and the other three walking over with half-smiling faces, bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Princess Yanran, and Mr. Li."

 Gu Huayu and Li Tao stood up and returned the courtesy.

 Landong quickly stood up and stood behind Gu Huayu.

Wang Peiyun came over, sat down directly at the table, looked at the dishes on the table, and asked with a smile: "Second Young Master Li is buying the noodles for the princess?"

Li Tao said: "Bring the princess here to have a look and see if there is anything she likes."

"The princess is so lucky to have met such a good man like Mr. Li Er, who treats the princess warmly, considerately, and generously."

Wang Peiyun’s double entendre can be understood by anyone.

Gu Huayu was amused. Seeing the rhythm of Wang Peiyun's words, she wanted to spread the scandal about her.

“After all, Miss Wang San has a good vision. She understands a man so well that she only needs to meet him once and take a quick glance at him to know whether the man is warm, considerate, generous and open-minded.

 How did Miss Wang San develop such a discerning eye? Is it the experience gained from seeing a lot and going through hundreds of battles?

Looking at our close relationship, can Ms. Wang San teach me a few tricks? "

Gu Huayu asked sincerely and with an open mind.

Wang Peiyun turned blue with anger, "You..."

Gu Huayu looked confused, turned to look at Li Tao, and asked, "What's wrong with me? Did I say something wrong? Miss Wang San seems a little angry."

Li Tao glanced at Wang Peiyun and said, "You are right, Miss Wang San is really discerning. When she meets me, she knows that I am very warm.

 I am indeed very warm, and I don’t even need a thick quilt when sleeping in winter.

 As for being considerate, I am indeed very considerate, especially if I want to be nice to her, I will use up all my tenderness.

I would also like to ask Miss Wang San, how did you figure it out? We must not be familiar with each other, right? "

 After speaking, Li Tao also looked at Wang Peiyun with curiosity, waiting for Wang Peiyun's reply.

 Gu Huayu is quite satisfied with the tacit understanding with Li Tao.

“Yes, Ms. Wang San will share with you, we are very curious.” Gu Huayu held her chin in her hands and stared at Wang Peiyun.

The shopkeeper saw that his boss was speechless by Gu Huayu and Li Tao singing and singing. He was thinking about how to help his boss out of the siege. He turned around and saw Xiang'er coming out with his head held high. He felt happy and said, "My boss , the head and noodles are here, please move over here."
