Chapter 46
Duan Qiongyu was so caught off guard that he spat out the blood angrily, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Gu Yuanwei turned around and said indifferently: "What do you mean? I still want to ask you what do you mean? Pull me here by force and humiliate me. What do you want to do?"
Duan Qiongyu frowned tightly, "You have desires for me. I thought you liked me."
"I'm just obsessed with broken sleeves. Any naked man in front of me will have desire."
Duan Qiongyu felt a disgusting feeling, "That's my misunderstanding, I will never offend you in the future."
"You say that having desire means liking, then you like me." Gu Yuanwei turned around, half disdainful, half teasing.
Duan Qiongyu didn't understand what he meant.He never thought that Gu Yuanwei would feel humiliated, he just thought it was a natural attraction and touch between two men who liked him.
"If you make me sick, how can I touch you?" He didn't want to answer Gu Yuanwei's words directly.Even Gu Yuanwei doesn't like him, how can he admit that he likes him, "But now, you've made me sick."
"you……"
Gu Yuanwei didn't know how to continue.If there is a woman in front of him, he has many ways to calm her down.But facing a man stronger than him, he didn't know how to resolve it.
His words just now are indeed heavier and more hurtful.Do you want to be like a woman, crying and making trouble?Forget it, that was his purpose in the first place, wasn't it?No emotion, better.
When Duan Qiongyu walked out of the woods, the uncomfortable feeling in his heart choked in his heart.His attitude towards Gu Yuanwei seemed to have changed, but he only found out when Gu Yuanwei hated him.
But Duan Qiongyu quickly adjusted his emotions.Emotions derived from physical attraction are inherently shallow.Since Gu Yuanwei didn't want to continue, he just gave up.
In this world, no matter who has something that cannot be obtained, why force it?
Soon after, Liu Zishi came with soldiers and Nuomi, and took away Zhan Xueming and the former head of the Miao tribe.Liu Zishi told Duan Qiongyu that Duan Qiongyan was safe and healthy, and they would help him take care of her so that he didn't have to worry.
Duan Qiongyu and Gu Yuanwei fell into an unprecedented embarrassment.When the two met, they seemed to be strangers to each other. Apart from business, they had no communication.
Gu Yuanwei didn't think Duan Qiongyu was stingy, so he ignored him with just one word.Duan Qiongyu felt that there was no need for him to be mean, to please Gu Yuanwei, lest others think he liked him again.
After the Miao people joined in the construction of the dam, the speed has also been greatly improved.While working together, the Miao people and the Han people also established a deep friendship.
After communicating with each other, everyone solved some misunderstandings and contradictions between each other.
More than a month later, the dam was built.The crowd cheered heartily on the embankment.Gu Yuanwei looked excitedly at the dam he designed and built.
A ditch has been built on the dam, and as long as the water floods, it can flow out from the gap in the dam, and the water is diverted by the ditch to a large reservoir.The reservoir is connected to a small ditch, which is connected to the previous ditch, and the ditch is connected to the farmland.In this way, it has been extended, and the next time there is a flood, there is no need to be afraid.
Duan Qiongyu was also very happy when he saw Gu Yuanwei's excited look.He stepped forward, ready to celebrate with him.Sensing someone behind him, Gu Yuanwei turned around and saw that it was Duan Qiongyu, his smile faded a little.
"The dam is built, and you have contributed a lot." Duan Qiongyu said with a smile.
Gu Yuanwei didn't expect Duan Qiongyu to take the initiative to extend an olive branch, and he felt happier, "Thank you, you also have a great contribution."
Looking at each other and smiling, just like the so-called meeting and smiling, the relationship between the two seems to have returned to before the day when they played in the spring water.
After the dam was built, they packed up their things and prepared to return to Beijing.On that day, tens of thousands of people stood on the shore to see them off.Originally, they planned to give some souvenirs, but Tan Shilang firmly refused.
Tan Siming was inexplicably moved, and wrote vigorously to record the grand scene and mood at that moment.Duan Qiongyu and the others stood on the deck and waved goodbye to the people.
Back in the capital, the Holy One specially held a celebration banquet for them.When Duan Qiongyu returned home, he had no time to greet his family, so he immediately took a bath and got ready.
After bathing, he knelt on the blanket and let Aqiang wipe his hair.Grandmother, parents and younger sister were already kneeling in the hall.At this point, they finally had time to talk.Everyone lamented that he had lost weight.
Duan Qiongyan didn't say a word.After they finished sighing, she looked at him with resentful eyes and asked, "Brother, do you know that you have become the hero of Changyang City now? But, I would rather you not be a hero."
One word from Duan Qiongyan made Duan Qiongyu feel guilty.He asked, "Didn't you say that I am an eagle?"
Duan Qiongyan sighed: "At that time, I couldn't dampen your ambition. But during your absence, I realized how much I hope you are safe."
Mrs. Hui Jun pinched the Buddhist beads and said: "Ma'am, what you said is right. In terms of wealth and glory, our Duan family may not say that it is the best in Changyang City, but the upper class is good. But you, it’s okay to go to disaster relief, but We have to fight against the Miao people."
Yang Muyu patted Mrs. Huijun's hand, and said: "Hey, mother, thanks to you praying to the Buddha every day, Dalang was able to come back safely. Fortunately, he came back and made meritorious deeds, mother, don't be angry."
Duan Hongsheng looked at Duan Qiongyu's thin face, "I told you not to fight with knives and guns before. Seeing your title on the gold list, I was very happy, and thought you had changed. But it's okay, you kill people directly I went. There is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people. If you kill someone today, maybe someone else will kill you tomorrow."
Duan Qiongyu knew that his family was doing it for his own good, and he was afraid of losing him, so he reprimanded him like this.So, he just listened and didn't say a word.
"A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, do you know the truth?" Duan Hongsheng asked.
"Because killing is too cruel and hinders benevolence." Duan Qiongyu replied.
"You understand very well, why do you continue to increase the number of murders?" Duan Hongsheng sighed, and continued, "My Duan family has a lot of murders, which requires a lot of merit from our descendants."
Duan Qiongyu couldn't keep silent, and said stubbornly: "Father, I was right. I killed people who deserved to be killed. For the sake of so many Han people, I killed some unfaithful and unrighteous people. This is a good deed."
"The executioners didn't kill the most heinous people? They also burned incense and prayed for blessings before execution, just to reduce the number of murders. You must realize your mistakes, so that our Duan family can last forever." Duan Hongsheng's sophistry , a little annoyed, and his tone was much harsher.
Mrs. Huijun stopped moving the rosary, looked at Duan Qiongyu and said, "Your father is right. Looking at the past dynasties, which meritorious families can continue? It's all because of murder."
Duan Qiongyu wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to refute.He closed his mouth and fought silently.
"You have been a vegetarian for a year, come and atone." Seeing Duan Qiongyu frowned, Madam Huijun closed her eyes and continued to wave the rosary, "I will also be a vegetarian with you."
Duan Qiongyu regretted it. If he hadn't defended himself and admitted his mistake honestly, he might not have been punished so severely.The mutton flew, the chicken legs flew, the rabbit flew, and the beef flew...all flew.He is going to be useless.
Amidst their nagging and reproaches, a short time passed with difficulty.As the old matriarch, Mrs. Huijun, if she doesn't speak, it's over. Once she speaks, it's a foregone conclusion.
From now on in the mansion, he will only be a vegetarian.He tried to go to the temple to pray for the deceased, but he failed.Because Mrs. Huijun thinks that he has to work and doesn't have much time.The matter of praying for blessings is left to their wives.
Basically, he didn't get much meat in Qianzhou. He thought that he would be able to enjoy the feast of gluttony when he returned to Changyang, but now it's all illusory.
Duan Qiongyu said to them: "I want to give Gong."
Everyone shut up.And that was just his excuse, he went straight to the stable and led Gale out the door.
Riding on Gale, Duan Qiongyu kept thinking whether he should obey his grandmother's orders or not.Along the way, he didn't notice the stream of adoring, adoring looks on the street until a handkerchief flew into his face.
He caught on conditionally.There was a booing sound from the side of the street immediately.Turning his head to look, he saw a young woman who glanced at him affectionately and shyly.
He knew that the article written by Tan Siming was to blame, and there were still many people who worshiped heroes.It is only a minority that his family thinks he is a bloody executioner.
He smiled slightly at the woman and continued to run towards the palace.He heard the exclamation of the crowd behind him, and this sound made him enjoy it.This was the first time in Changyang City that he received attention with his own ability.
When he got outside the palace gate, he handed over the horse to the eunuch on duty, and then followed the other eunuchs to the Taiye Lake.In order to avoid nagging, he left earlier and arrived earlier, so there were not many people there.
The eunuch led him to the front right seat.Duan Qiongyu immediately understood that he was arranged according to his status as the eldest son, because his official position was obviously not worthy of this position.
There are also many who arrived earlier, and of course they are all with low official positions.Some were obviously newcomers and very prim.Seeing Duan Qiongyu kneeling in front, some people immediately recognized him.
Some clever people immediately brought wine glasses, walked up to him, toasted him, praised his bravery, and sang his deeds.Duan Qiongyu knew that these people were different from the women on the side of the road, they just wanted to cling to the Duan family, so he tried his best to keep himself awake.
"All their praises are just means to climb up, they don't really worship you as a person." Duan Qiongyu reminded himself repeatedly in his heart.
Duan Qiongyu exchanged greetings with them calmly, without arrogance or arrogance, and tried his best to apply what Bai Xingkun gave him to practice.Bai Xingkun told him not to show his thoughts on his face when dealing with people, especially when dealing with people with big hearts.
"It's very dangerous for people to see your thoughts." Bai Xingkun told him like this.
His performance made everyone think highly of him.Later he heard someone say that Duan Dalang had changed and became a city man, not the reckless man they thought he was.
The rest of the Duan family came in an ox cart when the banquet was about to start.Of course, after he came, everyone glared at him again, but he didn't get angry in front of so many people.
After the sage arrived with the concubine De, the chief eunuch announced the official opening of the banquet.The sage sat on the dragon chair, the concubine De sat on his lower head, and further down were other concubines, all dressed up in fancy dress.
Duan Qiongyu didn't see Gu Yuanwei at the banquet, and he was relieved to think that he was a foreign official.The sage praised the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the families who donated generously for disaster relief.
Those families were sitting at the bottom, but they were very excited to hear their names.Duan Qiongyu thought, they should be a merchant family with money but no power.After this donation, they also came into the sight of the rich and powerful, which is of great benefit to their future development.
Duan Qiongyu raised his wine glass and paid tribute to them from afar, those people were very excited and humbled to do it first.Duan Qiongyu showed a faint smile.Whether they had a purpose or not, he was grateful for their funding.
On the central stage, ladies from rich and powerful families performed on stage.Although a woman is virtuous without talent, a lady from a wealthy family will learn one or two skills in order to be able to get along with her husband.
Duan Qiongyu also saw Lian Hua.She is still the same as in her previous life, with a plump figure, a melancholy face, and a jade hairpin coiled on her head, which is so simple that it is outrageous.Because the other ladies are all dressed up in a luxurious manner, but she is the only one who is not as good as a court lady.
There seemed to be endless sorrow on her face.She came to the stage and recited a poem - "Autumn Xu".The poem is well done, but the deep melancholy makes people not happy.
Duan Qiongyu saw a trace of displeasure on the saint's face.Originally, it was a celebration banquet, and everyone chose festive tunes, paintings, etc., and she was the only one who came up to read a poem full of sorrow.
Zhongshu Ling hurriedly stepped forward to confess the crime, and led his daughter off the stage in embarrassment.Everyone was familiar with her appearance, but they didn't expect her to be so ignorant of current affairs.
"Aye, I want to perform a song for you. I wish you a long life and wish the Dahui Dynasty prosperity." Li Zhilan walked to the middle with her pipa in her arms and saluted the saint.
The sage agreed very happily.
Li Zhilan came to the stage with her pipa in her arms.There are already other dancers on the stage, all holding a lute.Each dancer is shoeless and has bells on her ankles.The sound of bells, accompanied by the sound of pipa, forms a pleasant and cheerful tune.
Li Zhilan was wearing a gorgeous neon dress, and when she raised her hand, her snow-white wrist was revealed.In the happiest and most exciting section, she bounces the pipa, her fingers are like fluttering butterflies, which is too beautiful to behold.At this time, everyone's attention was instead focused on her fingers, and they all wanted to see if her fingers were blessed with divine power.
Li Zhilan practiced pipa since she was a child, she is a lady in the capital, and no one can match her.Everyone couldn't help being intoxicated by the beautiful music.The gorgeous dance is also eye-catching.
With her head raised, Li Zhilan raised one leg back, her gorgeous and light ribbon fluttered in the wind, and she played the last note.Standing against the wind, she looks like a fairy who has descended to the mortal world.
Li Zhilan's line of sight happened to be on Duan Qiongyu's side.Not knowing if it was an illusion, Li Zhilan blinked slightly at Duan Qiongyu, as if casting a wink, or as if she was just being blown by the wind.
Duan Qiongyu felt danger in that look, even though it was only for a moment.In the following banquet, Duan Qiongyu tried his best to ignore this feeling.Even though Li Zhilan was a princess, she was only a woman, so what danger could she have?
When he came out, Duan Qiongyu saw Li Zhilan who was full of laughter.The sense of danger that just came down immediately hit my heart again.He bit the bullet and knelt down to salute her.
Li Zhilan gently waved the round fan, "Excuse me. I am very happy to meet our hero. I admire you when I read in Changyang Daily that you independently resolved the crisis of the Miao rebellion."
Although Li Zhilan put on a big smile, Duan Qiongyu saw the hidden lies in it.
Duan Qiongyu also smiled and said: "As I said at the banquet, this is not due to me alone. There are also many soldiers who followed me through life and death. In addition, Bai Yuanwailang also made great efforts, without his mediation , it can’t be so smooth.”
"I know, but I only admire you. My hero, I want to play a song for you alone." Li Zhilan pointed to the maid holding the pipa next to her.
"Princess, how can I let you play for me, my little minister? Don't dare to be that!" Duan Qiongyu knelt on the ground, terrified.He couldn't figure out Li Zhilan's intentions, but it definitely wouldn't be a good thing.
Li Zhilan bent down, stretched out her thin and slippery hands like creamy fat, and pulled Duan Qiongyu up.Feeling her unquestionable insistence, Duan Qiongyu could only stand up along with her hand.
Li Zhilan patted his hand twice, pouted, and said dissatisfiedly: "Are you afraid of me? Am I so scary?"
Duan Qiongyu braced himself to deal with her.Trying to smile, he said in a friendly way: "How could that be, I'm flattered. The princess is willing to play the piano for him. I... I'm really... so excited."
Now that the mountain has come, he muster up his energy to deal with it, and there is nothing he can't climb.
A blush appeared on Li Zhilan's face, "Actually, you don't need to treat me as a princess. Everyone treats me as a princess, and I don't even have anyone who can talk to you. Now, treat me as Zhilan, okay?"
"But it's disrespectful."
A happy smile appeared on Li Zhilan's face.She brought Duan Qiongyu to a pavilion in the imperial garden.There is a pink gauze curtain hanging on the pavilion, and round and uniform pearls hang beside the gauze curtain, and the outside is a beautiful scene of blooming flowers.
After entering the pavilion, Li Zhilan's maid pulled down the gauze curtain.
Duan Qiongyu stopped him, "Princess, I have tightness in my chest, I'd better hang up the gauze curtain."
Li Zhilan glanced at him dissatisfied, "Didn't you say that you treat me as Zhilan? Why do you treat me like a princess again?"
Duan Qiongyu came out of the pavilion, picked a pink camellia, and gave it to Li Zhilan, "Princess, the gift is undeniable. I regard you as Zhilan in my heart, isn't that enough?"
After receiving the flowers from Duan Qiongyu, Li Zhilan was obviously very satisfied, and asked the maid to carefully pin the flowers on her head.Duan Qiongyu saw that she was taking a slow pace, obviously made up his mind to keep him.
Not knowing what conspiracy she has, Duan Qiongyu can only maintain a high level of vigilance.He didn't even touch the fine Longjing tea served by the court lady, and the exquisite and tempting pastries that looked like works of art.
"Duan Lang, don't these suit your taste?" Li Zhilan held her mouth and said sadly, "I asked the Imperial Dining Room to cook these for you, if you don't eat them, wouldn't it be a waste of my heart? "
Duan Qiongyu rubbed his stomach, and said with an embarrassed smile: "The princess is so kind, the servant really can only appreciate it. The princess also knows that the servant has just returned to the capital, and he is already hungry enough. As soon as he got home, he ate a big meal." He piled up food before entering the palace. When I saw those delicacies in the palace, I couldn’t stop my mouth, and I ate so much that I really couldn’t eat any more.”
Li Zhilan went to touch his stomach, but was avoided by Duan Qiongyu.
Li Zhilan withdrew her hand indifferently, "Isn't your stomach still flat? How much did you eat?"
"I'm really full." After speaking, Duan Qiongyu hiccupped, "Princess, I want to listen to the fairy song you played. I didn't hear enough just now."
Li Zhilan brushed her hair behind her ears, and took the pipa from the maid.A few chords have already reflected her excellent pipa skills, and everyone in the capital also knows that her level is very high.
But Duan Qiongyu asked her to play, not because he really wanted to appreciate her fairy songs, but because he wanted her to finish playing quickly so that he could get out of this ambush.
The unknown is the scariest thing, and her status is much higher than his. In this place where everyone belongs to her, he feels that every flower and grass is lurking in danger.
She played "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes Song".Duan Qiongyu propped his chin and listened intently, nodding along with the music from time to time.But in fact, he didn't listen at all, but he couldn't let them see it.
Although Duan Qiongyu doesn't understand music theory, she is also very familiar with "Song of Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes". She clearly repeated its climax three times.At this moment, he had already seen through her purpose of delaying time.
But what use would it be to him if she procrastinated?On the contrary, it was her who was alone with Duan Qiongyu, and it was easy to cause gossip.Those court ladies are all her court ladies, and they basically have no power to defend.
Could this be her purpose?Duan Qiongyu still couldn't help thinking about that.However, in the last life, she liked Gu Yuanwei, but in this life she still likes him, how could she find him?
Moreover, they are clearly in the two camps, is it really possible to be together?
Fortunately, no matter how much she procrastinates, the song will always finish playing.Hearing she played the last note, Duan Qiongyu immediately clapped his hands and praised: "The lingering sound lasts for three days. The princess's pipa, Changyang No.1, deserves it. But, princess, I have been out for a long time. Grandma and the others may Will be worried."
Li Zhilan's bright eyes seemed like a rainbow in the sky, lost its color, "Is that why you want to leave me?"
Duan Qiongyu was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer her words.If you think about it, isn't that looking down on the princess?If you don't want to, isn't that a bad intention for the princess?
Li Zhilan let out a "puchi" and laughed out loud, "I won't tease you anymore. You should go back soon."
Duan Qiongyu suppressed the idea of running immediately, knelt down respectfully and saluted, and left here at a leisurely pace.
After he left, the court lady complained to Li Zhilan: "He seems a little ignorant?"
Li Zhilan stroked the golden hairpin on her head, "Isn't it more fulfilling to conquer like this?"
Another court lady echoed: "Exactly, how could he escape from the palm of Her Highness the Princess?"
Out of their line of sight, Duan Qiongyu carefully identified the direction and went back to where he came and went.When he returned to the banquet, he realized that everyone had been looking for him for a while.
Duan Qiongyu was absent-minded all the time.But after such a toss, he was very hungry.Looking at the exquisite but unappetizing food on the table, he can also taste it.
When eating, he can think about nothing, and his sense of taste has reached the highest level. He can now appreciate the beauty of food that he was not used to eating before.
Immersed in the void, Duan Qiongyu completely forgot the order given to him before.He could hear the sound of leaves in the distance, but he didn't notice his family's gaze. It wasn't until Duan Qiongwang pulled his sleeve that he noticed his father's ugly face.
After being stunned for a moment, he remembered his grandmother's order to make him a vegetarian, and what was on his chopsticks was a piece of mutton.
The banquet lasted until dusk. After that, Duan Qiongyu completely ignored his father's gaze and continued to eat meat.He didn't want to comply anyway.The father wanted to wait for the female relatives, so he led the horse by himself and galloped through the wide streets of Changyang City.
Before he knew it, he arrived at Xishuncheng Street, and simply went to see Gu Yuanwei.Without him in today's celebration banquet, he must feel uncomfortable.Duan Qiongyu also didn't understand where Gu Yuanwei's unique psychology came from.
When we arrived in West Market, many shops were about to close.Duan Qiongyu bought a jar of Yicheng Jiuhong from a good wine shop, and knocked on the door of Gu's mansion with it.
Gu Yuanwei welcomed Duan Qiongyu into the room, and was very puzzled when he saw the wine jar he brought.
"Thank you for the wine. The workshop will be closed soon, you should go home soon."
Duan Qiongyu took Gu Yuanwei's hand, "I brought the wine, not for you, I came to drink with you. You can't participate in the celebration banquet in the palace today, so I will celebrate it for you. Today Tonight, I will stay here with you."
"But, but..." Gu Yuanwei said in embarrassment, "My place is too simple, you must not be used to it."
"How can I not get used to it? I have slept in all the shops in Qianzhou, and my adaptability is very good. You can't be worse than Qianzhou here. By the way, I have slept in caves, so ah, it is completely impossible. Question." Duan Qiongyu pulled Gu Yuanwei into the study.
Gu Yuanwei had no choice but to order the servants to prepare the dishes immediately.Duan Qiongyu came here once, and he found Gu Yuanwei's study without any trouble.
Slapping the mud seal open, a clear scent of wine wafted out.Duan Qiongyu handed the wine jar to a maid, and she poured the wine into the jug.She came up with a wine jug and a wine glass, and knelt beside the table, pouring wine for the two of them.
"Go down, you don't need to wait here." Duan Qiongyu waved.
But she just watched Gu Yuanwei, waiting for his order.This made Duan Qiongyu a little displeased, especially the way she looked at Gu Yuanwei, there was a sense of entanglement in it.
Duan Qiongyu finally found her memory from the dusty memory - she was Bai Ling, one of Gu Yuanwei's former women.It's just because she was born as a maid, and she is relatively low-key. The key is that he and Duan Qiongyan never put her in their eyes, so he didn't remember it for a while.
"Bailing, go down." Gu Yuanwei followed suit.
Seeing her pouting, Duan Qiongyu took the plate down with some dissatisfaction.
"You are too conniving to her. How dare a girl show her temper." Duan Qiongyu raised his glass, "Thank you for everything you have done to the people of Qianzhou. You have contributed to the flood control in Qianzhou. I will never forget it, and the people of Qianzhou will never forget it."
Gu Yuanwei also raised his wine glass, touched him lightly, and drank the wine, "Thank you for remembering. Bai Ling is a hardworking and kind girl. As servants, their backgrounds are pitiful enough. As masters, we should be more tolerant. of."
Duan Qiongyu glanced at him, but didn't continue to say anything.But he could feel Gu Yuanwei's eyes turning with Bai Ling.This made him feel a little unhappy.
"Don't watch it, you can watch it every day at home, why don't you want to take such a short time?"
Seeing Duan Qiongyu's face full of contempt, Gu Yuanwei seemed to say that he was not even a servant, so he immediately argued: "Everyone has a love for beauty, and I appreciate beauty."
Duan Qiongyu glanced at a mirror in front of him, he got up and picked it up, and put it in front of Gu Yuanwei, "Come here, let me hold it for you, you can enjoy it to your heart's content."
Gu Yuanwei snatched the bronze mirror from his hand, "Boring. What I like is your appearance, not mine."
"Then what are you looking at Bai Ling?"
"The beauty of women and men is different. A man should have a masculine beauty like you, just like the sun, full of courage and fearlessness, and dare to face any difficulties."
When saying these words, Gu Yuanwei's eyes inevitably fell on Duan Qiongyu's face.He was also inevitably attracted by his eyes with a faint smile and determination.
Duan Qiongyu was also attracted by Gu Yuanwei's bright and pure eyes.Between the two, at this moment, it seems that the two poles of a magnet are attracting each other.Duan Qiongyu moved his neck forward, his eyes gradually shifted to his red lips stained with wine, the sweet taste there also attracted his visit.
Sensing Duan Qiongyu's approach and his fiery gaze, Gu Yuanwei lowered his head in panic, and accidentally broke the wine glass with his hand.Duan Qiongyu could see his panic and fear from his eyes, although he didn't know what he was afraid of, but Duan Qiongyu also respected him and suppressed his desire.
He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wanted to help him wipe off the wine stains, but Gu Yuanwei refused.He took the handkerchief from Duan Qiongyu's hand, and wiped the small ball dry himself.
"I'm going to change clothes, you wait for a while." When Gu Yuanwei spoke, he avoided Duan Qiongyu's sight.
Gu Yuanwei returned to the wing room, closed the door, and couldn't help closing his eyes, not letting the fragile tears flow down, "Duan Qiongyu, are you affectionate or ruthless? How much is your affection worth?"
Gu Yuanwei bit his lip, and the pain revived his rationality, "What does it matter if he is affectionate or not? Anyway, in this era where the succession of the family is greater than the sky, they have no future. Besides, he still has a title to inherit, so it must be There is a child. It is impossible for my own parents to let him fool around with a man, even if he can get fame and fortune."
After changing his clothes, Gu Yuanwei went back to the study.Duan Qiongyu felt that something had changed in him.
He thought it was his offense just now, so he apologized: "Don't worry, if you don't want to, I won't do anything to offend you. This kind of thing is only interesting if you want me to."
The embarrassment Gu Yuanwei suppressed disappeared.Maybe Duan Qiongyu's liking for him is just a physical liking?So he always likes to say that he is beautiful.In his eyes, it doesn't matter whether he is a man or not.
Thinking of this, the pain in Gu Yuanwei's heart eased a lot.For a ruthless man, worrying about gains and losses, it has been a while for some reason, and it's time for me to come out.
In this world, without anyone, the sky will not fall.Some time ago, his parents also said that it was time for him to consider marriage. While he still had desires for women, he should forget about his absurdity.
"Have a drink. I've also been discussing marriage recently, so don't mention those things." Gu Yuanwei held up his glass and smiled.
Duan Qiongyu seemed to be hit hard by something in his heart, so that he bent down.His pride made him unwilling to show the slightest bit, especially in front of Gu Yuanwei.
He smiled and clinked glasses with Gu Yuanwei, "Congratulations then, I will definitely come to have a wedding wine when the time comes."
Seeing Duan Qiongyu's indifferent appearance, Gu Yuanwei still felt a little uncomfortable.Letting go is not an easy thing to do.
The smiles of the two looked very warm, but only they could feel the ruthlessness and coldness in each other.The two exchanged cups like real good brothers.But they both felt the bottomless rift between them.
At night, Duan Qiongyu slept in the guest room arranged by Duan's mother.The rooms are furnished in a simple and elegant manner, and it must have taken a lot of effort.There are gold, silver and jade objects inside, only stone statues, stone benches and tables.
The stool is relatively high, which is very different from the current one. Duan Qiongyu guessed that it was Gu Yuanwei's idea.Duan Qiongyu sat on the stone bench, felt the coldness of it, and felt his heart churn.
He didn't know when it started, but he actually had feelings for Gu Yuanwei—just like the feelings he had for Liu Wen in his previous life.Although it is not so heavy now, the feeling is right.
Do you want to become one of his harem?impossible!Duan Qiongyu felt sick just thinking about it.
How could he think that Gu Yuanwei was beautiful?If it wasn't for his interference and breaking up his rotten love, he wouldn't know how many women he has slept with now.
But when he thought of Duan Qiongyu, there was a feeling of admiration in his heart.Gu Yuanwei is indeed talented, caring about the common people, and good-looking...
Stop, can't think about it.Think about the fate of the woman who was fascinated by him in the previous life. Could it be that you are a majestic man, and you want to compete with women to be jealous?Or break his hands and feet and imprison him so that he can only smile at him alone?
However, if you get it like that, how can you have sincerity?
It was raining lightly outside the house, and Duan Qiongyu, who was upset, propped up the windows to enjoy the cool breeze outside the house.The cool breeze made Duan Qiongyu feel a little calmer.
The rain gradually became heavier, and the rain fell on the eaves, splashing water.Duan Qiongyu took off his clothes and walked into the rain, feeling the raindrops hitting his body, taking away his impetuousness.
He started punching in the rain, draining his energy so he wouldn't have so much to worry about.In the last life, he was trapped by love all his life, but in this life, he doesn't want to be trapped in it anymore.
In the rain, he seemed to see a person walking from the shadow of the trees in front.This made him couldn't help but put away his fist.
Gu Yuanwei turned around and said indifferently: "What do you mean? I still want to ask you what do you mean? Pull me here by force and humiliate me. What do you want to do?"
Duan Qiongyu frowned tightly, "You have desires for me. I thought you liked me."
"I'm just obsessed with broken sleeves. Any naked man in front of me will have desire."
Duan Qiongyu felt a disgusting feeling, "That's my misunderstanding, I will never offend you in the future."
"You say that having desire means liking, then you like me." Gu Yuanwei turned around, half disdainful, half teasing.
Duan Qiongyu didn't understand what he meant.He never thought that Gu Yuanwei would feel humiliated, he just thought it was a natural attraction and touch between two men who liked him.
"If you make me sick, how can I touch you?" He didn't want to answer Gu Yuanwei's words directly.Even Gu Yuanwei doesn't like him, how can he admit that he likes him, "But now, you've made me sick."
"you……"
Gu Yuanwei didn't know how to continue.If there is a woman in front of him, he has many ways to calm her down.But facing a man stronger than him, he didn't know how to resolve it.
His words just now are indeed heavier and more hurtful.Do you want to be like a woman, crying and making trouble?Forget it, that was his purpose in the first place, wasn't it?No emotion, better.
When Duan Qiongyu walked out of the woods, the uncomfortable feeling in his heart choked in his heart.His attitude towards Gu Yuanwei seemed to have changed, but he only found out when Gu Yuanwei hated him.
But Duan Qiongyu quickly adjusted his emotions.Emotions derived from physical attraction are inherently shallow.Since Gu Yuanwei didn't want to continue, he just gave up.
In this world, no matter who has something that cannot be obtained, why force it?
Soon after, Liu Zishi came with soldiers and Nuomi, and took away Zhan Xueming and the former head of the Miao tribe.Liu Zishi told Duan Qiongyu that Duan Qiongyan was safe and healthy, and they would help him take care of her so that he didn't have to worry.
Duan Qiongyu and Gu Yuanwei fell into an unprecedented embarrassment.When the two met, they seemed to be strangers to each other. Apart from business, they had no communication.
Gu Yuanwei didn't think Duan Qiongyu was stingy, so he ignored him with just one word.Duan Qiongyu felt that there was no need for him to be mean, to please Gu Yuanwei, lest others think he liked him again.
After the Miao people joined in the construction of the dam, the speed has also been greatly improved.While working together, the Miao people and the Han people also established a deep friendship.
After communicating with each other, everyone solved some misunderstandings and contradictions between each other.
More than a month later, the dam was built.The crowd cheered heartily on the embankment.Gu Yuanwei looked excitedly at the dam he designed and built.
A ditch has been built on the dam, and as long as the water floods, it can flow out from the gap in the dam, and the water is diverted by the ditch to a large reservoir.The reservoir is connected to a small ditch, which is connected to the previous ditch, and the ditch is connected to the farmland.In this way, it has been extended, and the next time there is a flood, there is no need to be afraid.
Duan Qiongyu was also very happy when he saw Gu Yuanwei's excited look.He stepped forward, ready to celebrate with him.Sensing someone behind him, Gu Yuanwei turned around and saw that it was Duan Qiongyu, his smile faded a little.
"The dam is built, and you have contributed a lot." Duan Qiongyu said with a smile.
Gu Yuanwei didn't expect Duan Qiongyu to take the initiative to extend an olive branch, and he felt happier, "Thank you, you also have a great contribution."
Looking at each other and smiling, just like the so-called meeting and smiling, the relationship between the two seems to have returned to before the day when they played in the spring water.
After the dam was built, they packed up their things and prepared to return to Beijing.On that day, tens of thousands of people stood on the shore to see them off.Originally, they planned to give some souvenirs, but Tan Shilang firmly refused.
Tan Siming was inexplicably moved, and wrote vigorously to record the grand scene and mood at that moment.Duan Qiongyu and the others stood on the deck and waved goodbye to the people.
Back in the capital, the Holy One specially held a celebration banquet for them.When Duan Qiongyu returned home, he had no time to greet his family, so he immediately took a bath and got ready.
After bathing, he knelt on the blanket and let Aqiang wipe his hair.Grandmother, parents and younger sister were already kneeling in the hall.At this point, they finally had time to talk.Everyone lamented that he had lost weight.
Duan Qiongyan didn't say a word.After they finished sighing, she looked at him with resentful eyes and asked, "Brother, do you know that you have become the hero of Changyang City now? But, I would rather you not be a hero."
One word from Duan Qiongyan made Duan Qiongyu feel guilty.He asked, "Didn't you say that I am an eagle?"
Duan Qiongyan sighed: "At that time, I couldn't dampen your ambition. But during your absence, I realized how much I hope you are safe."
Mrs. Hui Jun pinched the Buddhist beads and said: "Ma'am, what you said is right. In terms of wealth and glory, our Duan family may not say that it is the best in Changyang City, but the upper class is good. But you, it’s okay to go to disaster relief, but We have to fight against the Miao people."
Yang Muyu patted Mrs. Huijun's hand, and said: "Hey, mother, thanks to you praying to the Buddha every day, Dalang was able to come back safely. Fortunately, he came back and made meritorious deeds, mother, don't be angry."
Duan Hongsheng looked at Duan Qiongyu's thin face, "I told you not to fight with knives and guns before. Seeing your title on the gold list, I was very happy, and thought you had changed. But it's okay, you kill people directly I went. There is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people. If you kill someone today, maybe someone else will kill you tomorrow."
Duan Qiongyu knew that his family was doing it for his own good, and he was afraid of losing him, so he reprimanded him like this.So, he just listened and didn't say a word.
"A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, do you know the truth?" Duan Hongsheng asked.
"Because killing is too cruel and hinders benevolence." Duan Qiongyu replied.
"You understand very well, why do you continue to increase the number of murders?" Duan Hongsheng sighed, and continued, "My Duan family has a lot of murders, which requires a lot of merit from our descendants."
Duan Qiongyu couldn't keep silent, and said stubbornly: "Father, I was right. I killed people who deserved to be killed. For the sake of so many Han people, I killed some unfaithful and unrighteous people. This is a good deed."
"The executioners didn't kill the most heinous people? They also burned incense and prayed for blessings before execution, just to reduce the number of murders. You must realize your mistakes, so that our Duan family can last forever." Duan Hongsheng's sophistry , a little annoyed, and his tone was much harsher.
Mrs. Huijun stopped moving the rosary, looked at Duan Qiongyu and said, "Your father is right. Looking at the past dynasties, which meritorious families can continue? It's all because of murder."
Duan Qiongyu wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to refute.He closed his mouth and fought silently.
"You have been a vegetarian for a year, come and atone." Seeing Duan Qiongyu frowned, Madam Huijun closed her eyes and continued to wave the rosary, "I will also be a vegetarian with you."
Duan Qiongyu regretted it. If he hadn't defended himself and admitted his mistake honestly, he might not have been punished so severely.The mutton flew, the chicken legs flew, the rabbit flew, and the beef flew...all flew.He is going to be useless.
Amidst their nagging and reproaches, a short time passed with difficulty.As the old matriarch, Mrs. Huijun, if she doesn't speak, it's over. Once she speaks, it's a foregone conclusion.
From now on in the mansion, he will only be a vegetarian.He tried to go to the temple to pray for the deceased, but he failed.Because Mrs. Huijun thinks that he has to work and doesn't have much time.The matter of praying for blessings is left to their wives.
Basically, he didn't get much meat in Qianzhou. He thought that he would be able to enjoy the feast of gluttony when he returned to Changyang, but now it's all illusory.
Duan Qiongyu said to them: "I want to give Gong."
Everyone shut up.And that was just his excuse, he went straight to the stable and led Gale out the door.
Riding on Gale, Duan Qiongyu kept thinking whether he should obey his grandmother's orders or not.Along the way, he didn't notice the stream of adoring, adoring looks on the street until a handkerchief flew into his face.
He caught on conditionally.There was a booing sound from the side of the street immediately.Turning his head to look, he saw a young woman who glanced at him affectionately and shyly.
He knew that the article written by Tan Siming was to blame, and there were still many people who worshiped heroes.It is only a minority that his family thinks he is a bloody executioner.
He smiled slightly at the woman and continued to run towards the palace.He heard the exclamation of the crowd behind him, and this sound made him enjoy it.This was the first time in Changyang City that he received attention with his own ability.
When he got outside the palace gate, he handed over the horse to the eunuch on duty, and then followed the other eunuchs to the Taiye Lake.In order to avoid nagging, he left earlier and arrived earlier, so there were not many people there.
The eunuch led him to the front right seat.Duan Qiongyu immediately understood that he was arranged according to his status as the eldest son, because his official position was obviously not worthy of this position.
There are also many who arrived earlier, and of course they are all with low official positions.Some were obviously newcomers and very prim.Seeing Duan Qiongyu kneeling in front, some people immediately recognized him.
Some clever people immediately brought wine glasses, walked up to him, toasted him, praised his bravery, and sang his deeds.Duan Qiongyu knew that these people were different from the women on the side of the road, they just wanted to cling to the Duan family, so he tried his best to keep himself awake.
"All their praises are just means to climb up, they don't really worship you as a person." Duan Qiongyu reminded himself repeatedly in his heart.
Duan Qiongyu exchanged greetings with them calmly, without arrogance or arrogance, and tried his best to apply what Bai Xingkun gave him to practice.Bai Xingkun told him not to show his thoughts on his face when dealing with people, especially when dealing with people with big hearts.
"It's very dangerous for people to see your thoughts." Bai Xingkun told him like this.
His performance made everyone think highly of him.Later he heard someone say that Duan Dalang had changed and became a city man, not the reckless man they thought he was.
The rest of the Duan family came in an ox cart when the banquet was about to start.Of course, after he came, everyone glared at him again, but he didn't get angry in front of so many people.
After the sage arrived with the concubine De, the chief eunuch announced the official opening of the banquet.The sage sat on the dragon chair, the concubine De sat on his lower head, and further down were other concubines, all dressed up in fancy dress.
Duan Qiongyu didn't see Gu Yuanwei at the banquet, and he was relieved to think that he was a foreign official.The sage praised the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the families who donated generously for disaster relief.
Those families were sitting at the bottom, but they were very excited to hear their names.Duan Qiongyu thought, they should be a merchant family with money but no power.After this donation, they also came into the sight of the rich and powerful, which is of great benefit to their future development.
Duan Qiongyu raised his wine glass and paid tribute to them from afar, those people were very excited and humbled to do it first.Duan Qiongyu showed a faint smile.Whether they had a purpose or not, he was grateful for their funding.
On the central stage, ladies from rich and powerful families performed on stage.Although a woman is virtuous without talent, a lady from a wealthy family will learn one or two skills in order to be able to get along with her husband.
Duan Qiongyu also saw Lian Hua.She is still the same as in her previous life, with a plump figure, a melancholy face, and a jade hairpin coiled on her head, which is so simple that it is outrageous.Because the other ladies are all dressed up in a luxurious manner, but she is the only one who is not as good as a court lady.
There seemed to be endless sorrow on her face.She came to the stage and recited a poem - "Autumn Xu".The poem is well done, but the deep melancholy makes people not happy.
Duan Qiongyu saw a trace of displeasure on the saint's face.Originally, it was a celebration banquet, and everyone chose festive tunes, paintings, etc., and she was the only one who came up to read a poem full of sorrow.
Zhongshu Ling hurriedly stepped forward to confess the crime, and led his daughter off the stage in embarrassment.Everyone was familiar with her appearance, but they didn't expect her to be so ignorant of current affairs.
"Aye, I want to perform a song for you. I wish you a long life and wish the Dahui Dynasty prosperity." Li Zhilan walked to the middle with her pipa in her arms and saluted the saint.
The sage agreed very happily.
Li Zhilan came to the stage with her pipa in her arms.There are already other dancers on the stage, all holding a lute.Each dancer is shoeless and has bells on her ankles.The sound of bells, accompanied by the sound of pipa, forms a pleasant and cheerful tune.
Li Zhilan was wearing a gorgeous neon dress, and when she raised her hand, her snow-white wrist was revealed.In the happiest and most exciting section, she bounces the pipa, her fingers are like fluttering butterflies, which is too beautiful to behold.At this time, everyone's attention was instead focused on her fingers, and they all wanted to see if her fingers were blessed with divine power.
Li Zhilan practiced pipa since she was a child, she is a lady in the capital, and no one can match her.Everyone couldn't help being intoxicated by the beautiful music.The gorgeous dance is also eye-catching.
With her head raised, Li Zhilan raised one leg back, her gorgeous and light ribbon fluttered in the wind, and she played the last note.Standing against the wind, she looks like a fairy who has descended to the mortal world.
Li Zhilan's line of sight happened to be on Duan Qiongyu's side.Not knowing if it was an illusion, Li Zhilan blinked slightly at Duan Qiongyu, as if casting a wink, or as if she was just being blown by the wind.
Duan Qiongyu felt danger in that look, even though it was only for a moment.In the following banquet, Duan Qiongyu tried his best to ignore this feeling.Even though Li Zhilan was a princess, she was only a woman, so what danger could she have?
When he came out, Duan Qiongyu saw Li Zhilan who was full of laughter.The sense of danger that just came down immediately hit my heart again.He bit the bullet and knelt down to salute her.
Li Zhilan gently waved the round fan, "Excuse me. I am very happy to meet our hero. I admire you when I read in Changyang Daily that you independently resolved the crisis of the Miao rebellion."
Although Li Zhilan put on a big smile, Duan Qiongyu saw the hidden lies in it.
Duan Qiongyu also smiled and said: "As I said at the banquet, this is not due to me alone. There are also many soldiers who followed me through life and death. In addition, Bai Yuanwailang also made great efforts, without his mediation , it can’t be so smooth.”
"I know, but I only admire you. My hero, I want to play a song for you alone." Li Zhilan pointed to the maid holding the pipa next to her.
"Princess, how can I let you play for me, my little minister? Don't dare to be that!" Duan Qiongyu knelt on the ground, terrified.He couldn't figure out Li Zhilan's intentions, but it definitely wouldn't be a good thing.
Li Zhilan bent down, stretched out her thin and slippery hands like creamy fat, and pulled Duan Qiongyu up.Feeling her unquestionable insistence, Duan Qiongyu could only stand up along with her hand.
Li Zhilan patted his hand twice, pouted, and said dissatisfiedly: "Are you afraid of me? Am I so scary?"
Duan Qiongyu braced himself to deal with her.Trying to smile, he said in a friendly way: "How could that be, I'm flattered. The princess is willing to play the piano for him. I... I'm really... so excited."
Now that the mountain has come, he muster up his energy to deal with it, and there is nothing he can't climb.
A blush appeared on Li Zhilan's face, "Actually, you don't need to treat me as a princess. Everyone treats me as a princess, and I don't even have anyone who can talk to you. Now, treat me as Zhilan, okay?"
"But it's disrespectful."
A happy smile appeared on Li Zhilan's face.She brought Duan Qiongyu to a pavilion in the imperial garden.There is a pink gauze curtain hanging on the pavilion, and round and uniform pearls hang beside the gauze curtain, and the outside is a beautiful scene of blooming flowers.
After entering the pavilion, Li Zhilan's maid pulled down the gauze curtain.
Duan Qiongyu stopped him, "Princess, I have tightness in my chest, I'd better hang up the gauze curtain."
Li Zhilan glanced at him dissatisfied, "Didn't you say that you treat me as Zhilan? Why do you treat me like a princess again?"
Duan Qiongyu came out of the pavilion, picked a pink camellia, and gave it to Li Zhilan, "Princess, the gift is undeniable. I regard you as Zhilan in my heart, isn't that enough?"
After receiving the flowers from Duan Qiongyu, Li Zhilan was obviously very satisfied, and asked the maid to carefully pin the flowers on her head.Duan Qiongyu saw that she was taking a slow pace, obviously made up his mind to keep him.
Not knowing what conspiracy she has, Duan Qiongyu can only maintain a high level of vigilance.He didn't even touch the fine Longjing tea served by the court lady, and the exquisite and tempting pastries that looked like works of art.
"Duan Lang, don't these suit your taste?" Li Zhilan held her mouth and said sadly, "I asked the Imperial Dining Room to cook these for you, if you don't eat them, wouldn't it be a waste of my heart? "
Duan Qiongyu rubbed his stomach, and said with an embarrassed smile: "The princess is so kind, the servant really can only appreciate it. The princess also knows that the servant has just returned to the capital, and he is already hungry enough. As soon as he got home, he ate a big meal." He piled up food before entering the palace. When I saw those delicacies in the palace, I couldn’t stop my mouth, and I ate so much that I really couldn’t eat any more.”
Li Zhilan went to touch his stomach, but was avoided by Duan Qiongyu.
Li Zhilan withdrew her hand indifferently, "Isn't your stomach still flat? How much did you eat?"
"I'm really full." After speaking, Duan Qiongyu hiccupped, "Princess, I want to listen to the fairy song you played. I didn't hear enough just now."
Li Zhilan brushed her hair behind her ears, and took the pipa from the maid.A few chords have already reflected her excellent pipa skills, and everyone in the capital also knows that her level is very high.
But Duan Qiongyu asked her to play, not because he really wanted to appreciate her fairy songs, but because he wanted her to finish playing quickly so that he could get out of this ambush.
The unknown is the scariest thing, and her status is much higher than his. In this place where everyone belongs to her, he feels that every flower and grass is lurking in danger.
She played "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes Song".Duan Qiongyu propped his chin and listened intently, nodding along with the music from time to time.But in fact, he didn't listen at all, but he couldn't let them see it.
Although Duan Qiongyu doesn't understand music theory, she is also very familiar with "Song of Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes". She clearly repeated its climax three times.At this moment, he had already seen through her purpose of delaying time.
But what use would it be to him if she procrastinated?On the contrary, it was her who was alone with Duan Qiongyu, and it was easy to cause gossip.Those court ladies are all her court ladies, and they basically have no power to defend.
Could this be her purpose?Duan Qiongyu still couldn't help thinking about that.However, in the last life, she liked Gu Yuanwei, but in this life she still likes him, how could she find him?
Moreover, they are clearly in the two camps, is it really possible to be together?
Fortunately, no matter how much she procrastinates, the song will always finish playing.Hearing she played the last note, Duan Qiongyu immediately clapped his hands and praised: "The lingering sound lasts for three days. The princess's pipa, Changyang No.1, deserves it. But, princess, I have been out for a long time. Grandma and the others may Will be worried."
Li Zhilan's bright eyes seemed like a rainbow in the sky, lost its color, "Is that why you want to leave me?"
Duan Qiongyu was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer her words.If you think about it, isn't that looking down on the princess?If you don't want to, isn't that a bad intention for the princess?
Li Zhilan let out a "puchi" and laughed out loud, "I won't tease you anymore. You should go back soon."
Duan Qiongyu suppressed the idea of running immediately, knelt down respectfully and saluted, and left here at a leisurely pace.
After he left, the court lady complained to Li Zhilan: "He seems a little ignorant?"
Li Zhilan stroked the golden hairpin on her head, "Isn't it more fulfilling to conquer like this?"
Another court lady echoed: "Exactly, how could he escape from the palm of Her Highness the Princess?"
Out of their line of sight, Duan Qiongyu carefully identified the direction and went back to where he came and went.When he returned to the banquet, he realized that everyone had been looking for him for a while.
Duan Qiongyu was absent-minded all the time.But after such a toss, he was very hungry.Looking at the exquisite but unappetizing food on the table, he can also taste it.
When eating, he can think about nothing, and his sense of taste has reached the highest level. He can now appreciate the beauty of food that he was not used to eating before.
Immersed in the void, Duan Qiongyu completely forgot the order given to him before.He could hear the sound of leaves in the distance, but he didn't notice his family's gaze. It wasn't until Duan Qiongwang pulled his sleeve that he noticed his father's ugly face.
After being stunned for a moment, he remembered his grandmother's order to make him a vegetarian, and what was on his chopsticks was a piece of mutton.
The banquet lasted until dusk. After that, Duan Qiongyu completely ignored his father's gaze and continued to eat meat.He didn't want to comply anyway.The father wanted to wait for the female relatives, so he led the horse by himself and galloped through the wide streets of Changyang City.
Before he knew it, he arrived at Xishuncheng Street, and simply went to see Gu Yuanwei.Without him in today's celebration banquet, he must feel uncomfortable.Duan Qiongyu also didn't understand where Gu Yuanwei's unique psychology came from.
When we arrived in West Market, many shops were about to close.Duan Qiongyu bought a jar of Yicheng Jiuhong from a good wine shop, and knocked on the door of Gu's mansion with it.
Gu Yuanwei welcomed Duan Qiongyu into the room, and was very puzzled when he saw the wine jar he brought.
"Thank you for the wine. The workshop will be closed soon, you should go home soon."
Duan Qiongyu took Gu Yuanwei's hand, "I brought the wine, not for you, I came to drink with you. You can't participate in the celebration banquet in the palace today, so I will celebrate it for you. Today Tonight, I will stay here with you."
"But, but..." Gu Yuanwei said in embarrassment, "My place is too simple, you must not be used to it."
"How can I not get used to it? I have slept in all the shops in Qianzhou, and my adaptability is very good. You can't be worse than Qianzhou here. By the way, I have slept in caves, so ah, it is completely impossible. Question." Duan Qiongyu pulled Gu Yuanwei into the study.
Gu Yuanwei had no choice but to order the servants to prepare the dishes immediately.Duan Qiongyu came here once, and he found Gu Yuanwei's study without any trouble.
Slapping the mud seal open, a clear scent of wine wafted out.Duan Qiongyu handed the wine jar to a maid, and she poured the wine into the jug.She came up with a wine jug and a wine glass, and knelt beside the table, pouring wine for the two of them.
"Go down, you don't need to wait here." Duan Qiongyu waved.
But she just watched Gu Yuanwei, waiting for his order.This made Duan Qiongyu a little displeased, especially the way she looked at Gu Yuanwei, there was a sense of entanglement in it.
Duan Qiongyu finally found her memory from the dusty memory - she was Bai Ling, one of Gu Yuanwei's former women.It's just because she was born as a maid, and she is relatively low-key. The key is that he and Duan Qiongyan never put her in their eyes, so he didn't remember it for a while.
"Bailing, go down." Gu Yuanwei followed suit.
Seeing her pouting, Duan Qiongyu took the plate down with some dissatisfaction.
"You are too conniving to her. How dare a girl show her temper." Duan Qiongyu raised his glass, "Thank you for everything you have done to the people of Qianzhou. You have contributed to the flood control in Qianzhou. I will never forget it, and the people of Qianzhou will never forget it."
Gu Yuanwei also raised his wine glass, touched him lightly, and drank the wine, "Thank you for remembering. Bai Ling is a hardworking and kind girl. As servants, their backgrounds are pitiful enough. As masters, we should be more tolerant. of."
Duan Qiongyu glanced at him, but didn't continue to say anything.But he could feel Gu Yuanwei's eyes turning with Bai Ling.This made him feel a little unhappy.
"Don't watch it, you can watch it every day at home, why don't you want to take such a short time?"
Seeing Duan Qiongyu's face full of contempt, Gu Yuanwei seemed to say that he was not even a servant, so he immediately argued: "Everyone has a love for beauty, and I appreciate beauty."
Duan Qiongyu glanced at a mirror in front of him, he got up and picked it up, and put it in front of Gu Yuanwei, "Come here, let me hold it for you, you can enjoy it to your heart's content."
Gu Yuanwei snatched the bronze mirror from his hand, "Boring. What I like is your appearance, not mine."
"Then what are you looking at Bai Ling?"
"The beauty of women and men is different. A man should have a masculine beauty like you, just like the sun, full of courage and fearlessness, and dare to face any difficulties."
When saying these words, Gu Yuanwei's eyes inevitably fell on Duan Qiongyu's face.He was also inevitably attracted by his eyes with a faint smile and determination.
Duan Qiongyu was also attracted by Gu Yuanwei's bright and pure eyes.Between the two, at this moment, it seems that the two poles of a magnet are attracting each other.Duan Qiongyu moved his neck forward, his eyes gradually shifted to his red lips stained with wine, the sweet taste there also attracted his visit.
Sensing Duan Qiongyu's approach and his fiery gaze, Gu Yuanwei lowered his head in panic, and accidentally broke the wine glass with his hand.Duan Qiongyu could see his panic and fear from his eyes, although he didn't know what he was afraid of, but Duan Qiongyu also respected him and suppressed his desire.
He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wanted to help him wipe off the wine stains, but Gu Yuanwei refused.He took the handkerchief from Duan Qiongyu's hand, and wiped the small ball dry himself.
"I'm going to change clothes, you wait for a while." When Gu Yuanwei spoke, he avoided Duan Qiongyu's sight.
Gu Yuanwei returned to the wing room, closed the door, and couldn't help closing his eyes, not letting the fragile tears flow down, "Duan Qiongyu, are you affectionate or ruthless? How much is your affection worth?"
Gu Yuanwei bit his lip, and the pain revived his rationality, "What does it matter if he is affectionate or not? Anyway, in this era where the succession of the family is greater than the sky, they have no future. Besides, he still has a title to inherit, so it must be There is a child. It is impossible for my own parents to let him fool around with a man, even if he can get fame and fortune."
After changing his clothes, Gu Yuanwei went back to the study.Duan Qiongyu felt that something had changed in him.
He thought it was his offense just now, so he apologized: "Don't worry, if you don't want to, I won't do anything to offend you. This kind of thing is only interesting if you want me to."
The embarrassment Gu Yuanwei suppressed disappeared.Maybe Duan Qiongyu's liking for him is just a physical liking?So he always likes to say that he is beautiful.In his eyes, it doesn't matter whether he is a man or not.
Thinking of this, the pain in Gu Yuanwei's heart eased a lot.For a ruthless man, worrying about gains and losses, it has been a while for some reason, and it's time for me to come out.
In this world, without anyone, the sky will not fall.Some time ago, his parents also said that it was time for him to consider marriage. While he still had desires for women, he should forget about his absurdity.
"Have a drink. I've also been discussing marriage recently, so don't mention those things." Gu Yuanwei held up his glass and smiled.
Duan Qiongyu seemed to be hit hard by something in his heart, so that he bent down.His pride made him unwilling to show the slightest bit, especially in front of Gu Yuanwei.
He smiled and clinked glasses with Gu Yuanwei, "Congratulations then, I will definitely come to have a wedding wine when the time comes."
Seeing Duan Qiongyu's indifferent appearance, Gu Yuanwei still felt a little uncomfortable.Letting go is not an easy thing to do.
The smiles of the two looked very warm, but only they could feel the ruthlessness and coldness in each other.The two exchanged cups like real good brothers.But they both felt the bottomless rift between them.
At night, Duan Qiongyu slept in the guest room arranged by Duan's mother.The rooms are furnished in a simple and elegant manner, and it must have taken a lot of effort.There are gold, silver and jade objects inside, only stone statues, stone benches and tables.
The stool is relatively high, which is very different from the current one. Duan Qiongyu guessed that it was Gu Yuanwei's idea.Duan Qiongyu sat on the stone bench, felt the coldness of it, and felt his heart churn.
He didn't know when it started, but he actually had feelings for Gu Yuanwei—just like the feelings he had for Liu Wen in his previous life.Although it is not so heavy now, the feeling is right.
Do you want to become one of his harem?impossible!Duan Qiongyu felt sick just thinking about it.
How could he think that Gu Yuanwei was beautiful?If it wasn't for his interference and breaking up his rotten love, he wouldn't know how many women he has slept with now.
But when he thought of Duan Qiongyu, there was a feeling of admiration in his heart.Gu Yuanwei is indeed talented, caring about the common people, and good-looking...
Stop, can't think about it.Think about the fate of the woman who was fascinated by him in the previous life. Could it be that you are a majestic man, and you want to compete with women to be jealous?Or break his hands and feet and imprison him so that he can only smile at him alone?
However, if you get it like that, how can you have sincerity?
It was raining lightly outside the house, and Duan Qiongyu, who was upset, propped up the windows to enjoy the cool breeze outside the house.The cool breeze made Duan Qiongyu feel a little calmer.
The rain gradually became heavier, and the rain fell on the eaves, splashing water.Duan Qiongyu took off his clothes and walked into the rain, feeling the raindrops hitting his body, taking away his impetuousness.
He started punching in the rain, draining his energy so he wouldn't have so much to worry about.In the last life, he was trapped by love all his life, but in this life, he doesn't want to be trapped in it anymore.
In the rain, he seemed to see a person walking from the shadow of the trees in front.This made him couldn't help but put away his fist.
