Chapter 176 New Year
"This is all a misunderstanding."
Wen Rong immediately laughed and said, "We are new here and don't know much about the local customs and practices of Guijing. We met this girl by chance, so we wanted to ask her to take us to Yongjing. That's all, that's all!
Right, Barlow?"
Barlow nodded stupidly: "Yes, yes, it's a misunderstanding!"
Wen Rong glanced at the Shengwu Army behind Gu Huaizhou and bowed politely, "Since the Fourth Prince has arrived, there's no need to trouble this young lady. I wonder if the Fourth Prince would be free to take us on a tour of Yongjing's scenery?"
Gu Huaizhou naturally knew that what the old man said were all excuses.
He glanced at Yan Qing.
In his previous life, he had conquered most of the territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty. After all, that man was Qingqing's biological father, so he let them go for now.
"If you want to experience the beauty of Great Yong, all you have to do is present a gift of documents to our emperor, and he will naturally send someone to show you around!"
Of course, Wen Rong didn't really want Gu Huaizhou to take them to appreciate the scenery of Yong Dynasty. He just wanted to test the attitude of the Fourth Prince. It seemed that he didn't really want to be an enemy of Western Zhou Dynasty.
Hearing Gu Huaizhou's words, Wen Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately gave Gu Huaizhou a half-Western Zhou Dynasty bow and said, "Thank you, Fourth Prince, for your reminder. I will return and deliver the document to the Dayong Palace."
"let's go!"
Wen Rong waved his hand, and the Western Zhou soldiers immediately returned to his side.
He turned and left with everyone.
Barlow looked at Yan Qing and said anxiously, "Master Wen, but...?"
"Shut up!"
Wen Rong glared at Barlow warningly and dragged him away.
After the Chu group had all left, Yan Qing suddenly looked at the man on horseback: "Gu Huaizhou, I want to go see my mother."
Gu Huaizhou reached out and picked her up from the ground.
Yan Qing sat in front of the man.
Gu Huaizhou drove forward.
The sound of horses' stampeding was very eye-catching in the quiet night.
Yan Qing looked at the endless white expanse ahead and subconsciously leaned her back against the man's arms. Her voice was light and ethereal: "Gu Huaizhou, do you think...will he save mother?"
"meeting."
Yan Qing turned back in surprise, only to see the man's perfect jawline. She asked curiously, "Why are you so sure?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Huaizhou lowered his head and met the woman's clear eyes.
Then blink at him.
He kissed Yan Qing's eyes passionately, then slowly said, "If he doesn't agree, I will make sure he can never return to Xi Zhou."
Use the gentlest tone to say the harshest words.
There is only Gu Huaizhou.
Yan Qing's worries were instantly gone. Yes, with Gu Huaizhou here, what was she worried about?
Yan Qing looked at Gu Huaizhou with a smile on her face: "Gu Huaizhou, thank you."
Gu Huaizhou stared at her lips, his eyes dark and gloomy: "How do you thank me?"
Yan Qing's cheeks felt slightly hot when he looked at her.
She tilted her head to look at the Shengwu Army behind her. All the soldiers were staring at the ground with their heads down, not daring to look around.
Yan Qing glared at the man, suddenly pecked Gu Huaizhou on the lips very quickly, and turned around quickly.
As if it wouldn't be so embarrassing if I didn't look at him.
Gu Huaizhou looked at the awkward expression of the person in his arms, curled up the corners of his lips, and with a cry of "Gee!", he let the horse gallop across the snow...
……
The next day, New Year's Eve.
On this day, all officials took a day off to celebrate the Spring Festival at home, and even the emperor did not attend court.
However, news still reached the Honglu Temple about the documents and gifts sent by the envoys of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
At this time, Yan Qing and Gu Huaizhou were both in the general's mansion.
Yan Qing helped her aunt cut paper-cuts.
Gu Huaizhou took the twins Yan Xun and Ming Xuanmingquan to hang lanterns together.
Even Ye Zuan, who was always busy, and Ye Zulong, who was often missing, were forced by their second aunt to make dumplings at the table.
General Ye supported Old Lady Ye as they inspected various places.
After Wu Mang's acupuncture treatment over the past few days, Old Lady Ye was able to stand up and walk. Now, looking at the whole family busying around and coming in and out, the usually strict old lady's face was rarely filled with kindness.
General Ye's expression was also gentle: "If Xier were here, our family would be reunited."
Old Madam Ye frowned immediately, worried: "Old man, you said Xier..."
"It'll be fine."
General Ye shook Mrs. Ye's hand. Seeing his wife showing such a rare look of worry, he comforted her, "I think the girl is good. Since she said she has a way to get the antidote, we should believe her. Besides, don't we still have that kid Gu Huaizhou?"
After hearing the last sentence, Old Lady Ye looked towards Gu Huaizhou in the yard.
The man is tall and slender, with an outstanding temperament. He is indeed a child of destiny.
But at this moment, he was squatting with a few teenagers and picking up lanterns like the big brother next door, without any sign of pampering.
Old Mrs. Ye glanced at her husband and said, "You really trust him."
General Ye laughed heartily: "Old lady, if you don't think highly of him, would you let this kid enter the general's mansion like he would enter the vegetable garden?"
Old Mrs. Ye pursed her lips and said nothing.
Soon, Yan Qing and Xue finished cutting the paper-cuts and took their maids to paste paper-cuts with auspicious meanings on doors and windows everywhere.
Gu Huaizhou led everyone to hang up the lanterns.
After the New Year's atmosphere was decorated, Second Madam Yang had already cooked a large pot of dumplings. The two boys, Mingxuan and Mingquan, threw firecrackers with crackling sounds, and the whole family celebrated the New Year in a lively manner.
