Gongsun Yu took the teacup in his hand, looked at Qi'er and said, "Thinking of the story you told me about Lord Mengchang that day..."
Qi'er knew what Gongsun Yu was talking about, and said, "You can't blame the disciples of Jingyi Pavilion. When it was rumored that you rebelled, even though they all knew that you were wronged, how can there be no wronged souls when the country changes hands? The little emperor fell into the hands of Empress Dowager Lou again. There are heavy troops inside and outside the Gongsun Mansion. After all, they are ordinary people and have relatives at home. If they are suspected of rebellion, they will definitely not be able to bear it if one person destroys a whole family!"
Gongsun Yuzhi Qi'er comforted him and said, "I don't blame them, I didn't expect that the story you told me back then... would come true for me!" Gongsun Yu thought about the people in the Secret Palace and those retainers, and sighed. He took a sip of tea.
Qi'er asked again, "Did you hear that Luan Yue said that Yingzhou's troops had withdrawn?"
"Yes, there was no war in the first place. They just wanted to transfer me out of the capital... They also had intentions..." After saying that, he looked at Qi'er's thin face, stood up and said with physical and mental pain, "Caiwei and Agui also left the capital smoothly, and so did you. No need to travel hard and bumpy to Zhuangzi..."
"It's not hard for me to be with you every time..."
"I have asked Luan Yue to send someone to prepare a car and take you to Songlin Garden for fishing later."
"You don't know how to..."
"Then you won't go?" He said deliberately.
Qi'er said hurriedly, "Why don't you go? Didn't Luan Yue have someone prepare a car? How can we let them work in vain?"
Gongsun Yu likes the way Qi'er demands him, it's very cute.
Luan Yue drove, Gongsun Yu and Qi'er sat in the carriage, and arrived at Songlin Garden an hour later.
Gongsun Yu got out of the car, turned around and helped Qi'er get out of the car.
Qi'er smiled and said, "Oh! It's still more comfortable and faster to ride in the car!"
"Who just kept saying in the car why it's not here yet?"
"No matter how slow it is, it will be faster than when we returned to Beijing!"
Gongsun Yu thought about his failure to return to Beijing, and his cold face suddenly became even colder. Qi'er knew that he had said the wrong thing and asked quickly, "Where should we go fishing?"
Gongsun Yu knew that Qi'er was careless and said calmly, "There is a wild lake in front of you. There are many fish, shrimps and crabs in it. Even in this season, there are only fish."
"You can fish too...but...we don't know how to fish..." Qi'er said a little worriedly.
"Let's go!" Gongsun Yu and Luan Yue walked towards the lake with their fishing gear.
Along the way, the dead leaves on the trees withered, and there were many wild reeds by the lake, which had also withered, leaving the cattails on the reed poles swaying in the wind.
Qi'er thought about the last time she helped Caiwei and Agui, and said with emotion, "Time flies so fast. The last time I came to Songlin Garden, the green leaves were in a hurry. This time, it's so desolate, not even a person?"
Luan Yue said, "Young Master specially arranged for Master Zhuangzi to have a day off today. So you didn't see many people these two times you came here."
Only then did Qi'er realize that it was Gongsun Yu who had specially arranged it.
Gongsun Yu and Luan Yue put the fishing gear on, and Gongsun Yu sat on the bed, looking at the still lake without saying much.
"You need bait for fishing, have you taken it?" Qi'er asked.
"I was in a hurry and didn't prepare..." Luan Yue thought that Gongsun Yu came here not to fish but to relax, and she wasn't so well prepared.
"I'm going to find some earthworms!" Qi'er said, getting up and looking around with a hand stove.
Qi'er looked into many pits and found no earthworms. Gongsun Yu watched Qi'er dig holes one by one and said, "It's almost November, how can there be earthworms?"
Qi'er also felt that there might not be any anymore and said, "I think there might not be anymore... Hey! Are there grasshoppers? This is also a good thing..." Then he went to catch the grasshoppers.
Qi'er pounced and pounced many times and finally caught one. He happily grabbed the grasshopper and laughed and shouted, "I caught it, I caught it."
Gongsun Yu saw Qi'er catching a grasshopper and was as happy as a child. His bright smile also infected him, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
After catching them for a long time, Qi'er was so tired that her back hurt and said, "I'm so exhausted. I still want to fry the grasshoppers, but I only caught three grasshoppers? I haven't wasted a lot of oil."
“It’s not bad to catch them this season.”
Qi'er glanced at Gongsun Yu and said, "Are you trying to comfort me? Or is it because your back hurts when you stand and talk? I'm almost dead from exhaustion... Hey! Forget it, it's not enough to fill the gap between my teeth." After saying this, he let go of the grasshopper in disappointment.
Qi'er released the grasshoppers and sat on the grass at her feet to rest. When she saw dandelions around her, she excitedly picked a few white fluffy pom-poms and blew them hard, and the dandelion seeds floated in the wind and filled the air. Falling down leisurely.
Qi'er instantly became happy again. She picked a lot of dandelion pom-poms and pulled Gongsun Yu to ask, "Let's blow them together?"
Gongsun Yu was obviously not interested, but seeing Qi'er having a great time playing, he took the pompom and blew it gently, and the seeds on the pompom immediately floated in the air. Gongsun Yu blew a few pom-poms easily, as if he was taking a deep breath, and he felt less depressed.
Qi'er used her hands to catch the seeds falling from the pompon blown by Gongsun Yu. The thin layer falling on her palms looked like snowflakes. After blowing hard, the seeds fell down like petals. Qi'er smiled happily, her laughter was like copper. It was as loud as a bell, and he was obviously smiling happily.
Gongsun Yu looked at Qi'er smiling, thinking that she was so happy and contented just for a grasshopper and a handful of dandelion seeds. Qi'er's lively and agile personality was like a little sun, which warmed and healed his heartache and loss.
Gongsun Yu's eyes followed Qi'er running all over the mountain. Seeing Qi'er so happy, he felt much relieved...
Qi'er finally got tired and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hands. Gongsun Yu went over and handed her water, "Drink some water. I see you're sweating from running." He took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.
Qi'er took a big gulp of water and heard Gongsun Yu frowning and saying, "Qi'er, thank you!" At this moment, Gongsun Yu was in a much happier mood infected by Qi'er.
Qi'er looked at Gongsun Yu in confusion. He gave him water and wiped his sweat. How could he thank me? I don’t understand and ask, “You stayed with me, should I be the one thanking you?”
"Do you like Songlin Garden?" Gongsun Yu deliberately did not answer the question.
"I like it. The scenery here is very good, the air is good, and I heard it's fertile farmland..."
"As long as you like it!" Gongsun Yu was quite satisfied with Qi'er's words.
Qi'er felt that Gongsun Yu's words were strange and was about to ask questions when he heard Gongsun Yu say, "Go over and see if Luan Yue caught any fish?"
Qi'er was also tired and followed Gongsun Yu to the lake.
Luan Yue saw what Gongsun Yu and Qi'er were on the hillside just now. When she came back, she saw that Gongsun Yu's brows had relaxed a lot. She knew that he was in a much better mood, so she was naturally very happy.
Gongsun Yu was fishing on the bed, knowing that he would get cold if he sat down for a long time, so he added some silver charcoal to Qi'er's hand stove. He chatted with Qi'er, who was probably too tired and had a warm hand stove in his hand. , just about to fall asleep while chatting with Gongsun Yu.
Gongsun Yu wanted her to get some sleep. At this time, Gongsun Yu finally caught a big fish. Qi'er was so excited that she was no longer sleepy. She happily went over and took the fish off the hook.
Gongsun Yu caught several fish in succession before he went back with Qi'er and Luan Yue.
Gongsun Yu and Qi'er got on the bus. Qi'er saw an eagle-shaped kite in the carriage. He was surprised and disappointed and said, "Is there a kite? It's a pity that I don't have time to fly it today..."
"The sun is very good today but there is no wind, so I didn't take it out." After that, he joked, "Last time in Liangzhou, you saw the children flying kites. If they weren't children, would you have planned to take them out and fly them yourself?" ?”
"Where is it? I can compete with the kids to play with it..." After saying that, I thought about what if I wasn't allowed to play? Then he said, "This... kite is suitable for all ages..." After saying that, he grabbed the kite and didn't let go.
Gongsun Yu saw her greedy look and knew that she hadn't had enough fun.
Luan Yue drove and soon arrived at Gongsun Mansion, and the three of them got out of the car.
Luan Yue asked the boys at the door to take the horse away, and then ordered two boys to carry the fish to the kitchen.
Tan Weike had not seen Gongsun Yu for many times. Today, he heard from the family that he actually went out to play. It seemed that he was in a better mood. He was waiting for Gongsun Yu in the side room next to Boyunxuan.
It was getting late, and Tan Wei was worried that she couldn't wait for Gongsun Yu today. She was about to leave the side room when she saw Gongsun Yu and Qi'er walking from a distance. Qi'er was holding a kite in his hand and talking and laughing. Although Gongsun Yu didn't He said a lot, but he didn't blame him too much, just let Qi'er talk.
Gongsun Yu was not surprised to see Tan Weike, because he had heard for several days that she came to see him.
Tan Weike saw that Gongsun Yu was a little thin, and knew that she must have been deposed because of Gao Yin and Gao Yan ascended the throne. A few days ago, he heard that there was something going on in Zhuangzi, so she looked at him distressedly and said, "Brother Yu..."
"I just heard from Huilan that it took you a long time to come?"
"Yes... came early in the morning..." Tan Weike stared at Gongsun Yu closely.
Qi'er saw that Tan Weike cared about Gongsun Yu very much. Since they came in, Tan Weike had not taken his eyes off Gongsun Yu. He also heard that she had been waiting here all day... He felt a little uncomfortable and thought why should I be uncomfortable? Just childhood sweethearts?
Qi'er handed the kite to Luan Yue and said, "Hold it for me first. I'll go...go to the kitchen and make some delicious fish soup for you tonight..."
Qi'er gave Luan Yue the kite and was about to leave.
Gongsun Yu glanced at Qi'er lightly, unhappy, why is it for you, not you?
Tan Weike felt a little jealous when he saw the way Gongsun Yu looked at Qi'er. After speaking, he looked at Qi'er again. Those big bright eyes really made people jealous, and said deliberately, "Prince Changguang is also here to see Qi'er today." ··After sitting here for a long time, he also said that he has been here several times recently but has not seen Qi'er. I wonder what Prince Changguang is looking for Qi'er?"
Qi'er asked in surprise, "King Changguang is looking for me? We don't have any contact with each other. Why is he looking for me?" He looked at Tan Weike confused.
Tan Weike deliberately asked, "You just returned to Beijing and Prince Changguang came to the mansion to look for you? Is it because we haven't had any contact with him before?"
Qi'er heard that Tan Weike was looking weird, glanced at her and said, "It's his business to come to me, how do I know what he comes to me for?" After saying that, he thought that Tan Weike had also come to Gongsun Yu recently, and asked deliberately "Just like Miss Tan comes to see Mr. Yu, how does Mr. Yu know what you want to see him for?"
···
Tan Weike stared at Qi'er with a sullen expression.
Qi'er looked at Tan Weike again and deliberately said to Gongsun Yu, "Mr. Yu, Miss Tan has been waiting for you here all day. If you can't come back, just drive her away. I have to go into the house and ask you what I want to avoid." I’ll ask you when I get it, but you don’t know.”
Tan Weike was really angry and vomiting blood. A girl couldn't tell Gongsun Yu too clearly. Qi'er clearly knew that he was hurting her by asking questions. She couldn't just leave. After finally seeing Gongsun Yu, she had to say a few more words. talk.
Gongsun Yu and Tan Weike entered Boyunxuan. Tan Weike knew that Qi'er would not be back for a while, and his parents and children had to make tea for Gongsun Yu.
Luan Yue tried to grab the teapot several times but failed to take it, so she could only let Tan Weike pour tea for Gongsun Yu.
This was the first time for Tan Wei to serve Gongsun Yu so close, and Gongsun Yu didn't even hold the teacup.
Tan Weike also felt embarrassed, but she didn't mind, sitting aside and looking at Gongsun Yu quietly.
In fact, Gongsun Yu knew that Tan Weike had come to see him recently, and that Tan Weike was very popular with his mother. He was not interested in her, so he had to find a way to get his mother to recognize Qi'er, as well as his father and the clan elders of the family. …
Can mother accept Qi'er? Gongsun Yu sighed softly and deeply, thinking about Caiwei and Agui. He was not optimistic about them in every possible way. He felt that Qi'er was worrying about them in vain. As a result, they got married.
Qi'er brought fish soup and some side dishes, and Luan Yue helped set the table. Gongsun Yu and his son served him a bowl of fish soup. Tan Wei could consider herself a guest, so this bowl of fish soup must be for her. She waited happily.
Gongsun Yu gave it to Qi'er, and Tan Weike had been held in the palm of his hand since she was a child. She felt insulted and looked at Qi'er hatefully, but she was afraid that Gongsun Yu would see that she hated Qi'er, so she hurriedly gave her to Qi'er. Eyes turned aside.
Tan Weike has always regarded herself as the future young lady of the Gongsun Mansion... Recently, she heard from the servants of the Gongsun Mansion that Gongsun Yu often took Qi'er to Zhuangzi. She comforted herself that it was only natural for a man to marry a concubine... However, Gongsun Yu was jealous of Qi'er when she saw her kindness. She couldn't tolerate Qi'er, let alone Gongsun Yu turning a blind eye to her.
Tan Weike tried her best to hold back and wanted to leave a good impression on Gongsun Yu, but Gongsun Yu and Qi'er chatted and thought that she was redundant. She couldn't stand it anymore and left angrily.
