Chapter 8

Big room.

In the warm spring day, a table has been set up for meals, including Sixi meatballs, sweet and sour tenderloin, Xihu vinegar fish, and sanjhen chicken soup, with all kinds of fresh seasonal vegetables. The whole table is full.

Gu Wuji, the Duke of Ding, is in his early 40s. He looks very elegant in a long shirt.

Even though his face has been marked by the years, the beauty of his youth can be seen from his eyebrows. He is a trusted member of the emperor and an important minister in the imperial court. He always looks like he is loved everywhere. Now he is walking anxiously in the room with his hands on his back.

Chang followed Changshan and grew up with him when he was young. He was Gu Wuji's milk brother.

Gu Wuji didn't look at ease at all. He was both funny and helpless. He said, "Mr. Guo, you've been away for almost a quarter of an hour. Aren't you tired?"

Gu Wuji shook his head, seemed to think of something, suddenly turned his head and asked, "how long have you been there?"

Changshan replied, "it's almost a quarter of an hour."

"You say it's rude, don't you refuse to come again?" When the man in his early 40s said this, he spoke carefully and looked down. After that, he looked at a table of dishes behind him, which were all things that Gu Wuyou liked.

He sighed softly, kept silent for a moment, and then said, "if she doesn't want to come, you... Let someone deliver all the dishes."

The house is brightly lit. Several long handled palace lanterns are standing on Gu Wuji's handsome and elegant face. You can see his long eyelashes falling down on his face, forming a sparse and dense projection. In this room where no one is talking, people can feel a bit lonely.

Seeing him like this, Changshan just wanted to forgive him.

There was a general report from the outside, "Mr. Guo, Miss Wu is here."

The voice just dropped.

The man who was still keeping his head down and silent suddenly raised his head. His face was not covered up with joy. He even walked out without waiting for Changshan to start. When he saw the girl who was supported by Bailu, his steps stood still.

At night.

Gu Wuyou is wearing a gorgeous scarlet cloak, which is embroidered with colorful peonies. Inside, he is wearing a moon white make-up short sleeve jacket, and underneath, he is wearing a delicate green gold skirt. It can be seen that he is wearing a pair of the most popular embroidered shoes in Langya, with a large pearl on the top.

She doesn't look like her biological mother, Wang Chengdai.

Wang Chengdai looks just like her name. "The mountains are like Dai, and the water is like smoke." she is the daughter of Wang's boudoir. She has learned the etiquette of poetry and calligraphy since she was a child. She has a gorgeous temperament of poetry and calligraphy, which is unforgettable.

What about worry free?

She looks very delicate and bright.

If Wang Chengdai is a splash ink Jiangnan landscape painting, then Gu Wuyou is the painter's most impressive painting. Even among thousands of people, she is still the most eye-catching one.

But every time Gu Wuji sees his daughter, he can't help but see Wang Chengdai in his mind.

He always remembers that when he first met Wang Chengdai, it seemed that it was the same weather. The girl, dressed in a cloak and holding a lamp in her hand, walked across the corridor and came towards him. When she saw him, she seemed to be stunned, turned to show a shallow smile, and then lowered her head.

Gu Wuji didn't like reading when he was young, but when he saw Wang Chengdai that day, he just had many words in his mind that he had heard praising beautiful women before.

There is a sentence about this——

"When she bowed her head, she was as gentle as the moon and the lotus was blowing with the wind."

It was the first time in Gu Wuji's life that he had a heart beating feeling. During his stay in the Wang family, he was like a fool. He tried his best to meet her by chance. He liked to see her smile most. When she smiles, her eyes will bend into crescent moon unconsciously.

The day when she laughed the most was when he secretly took her out of the house, rode her horse and picked wild flowers for her.

She was standing on the green hill. The wind was blowing her long hair and her lilac skirt was lifted by the wind. She looked up at him, bent her eyes and said softly, "brother Gu, this is the happiest day I've ever had since I was a child."

"My Lord."

Bailu's greeting made Gu Wuji recover from his old thoughts. He nodded, but his eyes always fell on Gu Wuyou. The girl lowered her head, pursed her red lips gently, and touched her toes on the ground. The Pearl on her head was more shining in the light.

Seems to be hesitating how to speak.

Gu Wuji's handsome and broad eyebrows and eyes were smiling. In fact, he wanted to reach out and touch her head, but he just wanted to think about it. He coughed gently. He spoke with Gu Wuyou in a very careful tone, "barbarian, let's go in for dinner."

Gu Wuyou nodded and agreed.

Gu Wuji wanted to get along with his daughter alone. Naturally, he didn't ask extra people to wait on him. Instead, he left Changshan and Bailu. He sat on the opposite side of Gu Wuyou and took the initiative to pick up dishes for others. He said, "it's the same cook before. Do you taste the same as before?"

Finish.

She looked at Gu Wuyou's meal eagerly. When she took a bite of sweet and sour ribs, she asked in a low voice, "how about it?"

After Gu Wuyou married Li Qinyuan, she didn't like sweet food so much. In fact, she forgot the taste in her memory. However, seeing the man opposite looking forward to her, she didn't want to touch his heart.

He nodded, "delicious."

Although he only said two words, Gu Wuji was very happy. This was the first time that manmanman lost his face. He was so happy! The chopsticks in my hand were like I couldn't stop. I piled every dish on my plate and it was almost a hill.

Gu Wuyou was not happy to see him like this.

In fact, she also wanted to talk to him well, to say "I miss you very much" to him, to make him not be so careful, but she didn't get along well with her father since childhood, and she didn't know how the normal relationship between father and daughter was.

If it's a general——

Gu Wuyou couldn't help thinking of what Li Qinyuan had said to her before.

-"Barbaric, family friendship is the strongest, but you should also learn to express, don't always let people guess what you are thinking, what you want to do, just say it yourself... Don't one day, when you want to say, the other party is no longer there."

A hand with chopsticks.

Gu Wuyou looks at the man opposite him and remembers that he was in bed in his previous life. Even if she learned to put it down in her last life, it's too late to get along with him.

And this life——

It seems that she hesitated for a long time, but she finally pursed her lips and gave Gu Wuji a chopstick. In his dull eyes, she said softly, "I don't know what you like to eat. This dish is not bad."

She lowered her head and took chopsticks to stir the dishes on the plate. Maybe it was because for the first time, she was a little at a loss, but she tried to finish her words, "you don't always give me food, you can eat it yourself."

That's it.

Not only Gu Wuji, but also Changshan and Bailu were surprised.

But after the shock is happy, especially Gu Wuji, this will be some red eyes, voice also become a bit choked up, "OK, OK, I eat, I eat now." As he spoke, he put the dish Gu Wuyou had given him into his mouth.

I don't know whether it's because of eating too fast or too excited. Gu Wuji coughed. He put his hand on the edge of the table, bent over and coughed red.

Changshan poured him a cup of tea.

Gu Wuyou also worried about putting down his chopsticks, frowning and looking at him all the time. After waiting for a cough, he asked, "are you... OK?"

Gu Wuji waved his hand and said with a smile, "it's OK. I'm just... So happy."

With that, he put another chopstick in his hand and said, "eat quickly." He turned to Changshan and said, "go and get my wine." He's happy today and wants to drink more.

Changshan is just about to persuade him.

Gu Wuyou has frowned and said, "drinking hurts your health. Don't drink all the time." My father's migraine was caused by drinking all the time, but he didn't cure it later.

Gu Wuji was stunned, but he laughed again. He turned to Gu Wuyou and looked at her pretty face under the light. Even her voice became genial. "OK, listen to you, don't drink."

Seeing this, Gu Wuyou lowered his head to eat again, but he thought about how to open his mouth and asked his father to allow her to go to Luming study.

*

In this chamber, father and daughter seldom eat in a harmonious atmosphere.

On the other side, the government of the state of Wei was very lonely. The second and third rooms of the Li family went to other places, leaving only Dafang in the capital. They usually eat together, but even so, they were just old lady Li, Li Censhen, Li Censhen's stepmother Yin Wan and her son Dong'Er.

Mrs. Li is five out of fifty this year.

She was dressed simply and wore a string of Buddhist beads on her wrist all the year round. She would look at a table and just frown and sigh, "I don't know what happened to Xiao Qi?"

Li Censhen, who was beside her, said in a deep voice: "if he doesn't live well, he will come back naturally."

Old man Li frowned as soon as she heard this. She was usually gentle, but every time she met Li Qinyuan, she could not help quarreling with her only son. Yin Wan worried that they would quarrel again. She put down her chopsticks and said gently, "don't worry, mother. I've sent someone to Jintai temple to deliver the letter. Your birthday is coming, and Qilang will surely come back."

I heard that.

Li Lao Fu's dissatisfaction was hidden. She plucked the Buddha's beads and said, "you should pay attention to Qilang's coming back this time. Don't always say those unpleasant words and let him go."

Li Censhen frowned. Just as he wanted to refute, his sleeve was pulled by Yin Wan. He was silent, but he didn't speak after all.

A few people in the room were eating unheated.

At the other end of the porter, a white figure turned over and dismounted. It was Li Qinyuan, who had not been home for a long time. On a cold day, he was still dressed as usual. He wore tight white clothes with sleeves, as if he was not afraid of cold.

The big red lantern was shaken by the wind.

Little Si sees some not quite clear, etc. approached, just dull way: "seven young masters?"

Li Qinyuan gave a faint "um" sound. He threw the whip in his hand to the boy. When he wanted to go in, he took a look at the plaque given by the late emperor, and a sneer appeared on his face.
