That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 570 Blowing up the youthful frivolity (2)

The sky was sprinkled with catkin-like heavy snow, which fell on the carriage and soon covered it with a thick layer. There were very few pedestrians on the street, and occasionally a few shallow footprints were quickly covered up. Among them, there are two long wheel marks extending far, far away.

Tang Lingxian looked out of the window through the gap and said: "Actually, before Lord Gu left the capital that year, on the night of the royal banquet, I traveled to Chang'an with Lord Gu. The reason why I found him was because He really looks like our uncle."

Tang Yun nodded and said: "Sister, don't tell me, when my uncle entered the palace in June last year, I was shocked when I saw him. Master Gu and his father and son are so alike, alas, it's a pity that I used to When I saw my uncle, I was still young, so I didn't have much impression, otherwise, maybe I could really recognize him in advance?"

Tang Lingxian smiled and said: "It's very difficult. In order to help the father, my uncle wiped away all the traces of him from the beginning. Didn't the seventh brother also investigate Master Gu? I already guessed that my aunt His identity is gone, isn’t it still not able to find out?”

Tang Yun pouted her lips and said, "That's right, father and uncle are too much, they even hid the matter of uncle's fraudulent death from even the queen mother, alas, seeing uncle appearing in the palace at that time, the mother was so surprised that she passed out !"

  The carriage drove slowly, and it didn't take long to arrive at the second world-famous scene of Baidi City, second only to the Ten Mile Taolin Yanyu Tower, which is the gate of Baidi City with divine soldiers hanging high.

  Ever since Gu Qingci planted the ten-mile peach grove in this Yanyu Building, it didn't take long for it to become a scene of Baidi City.

  The carriage entered the peach grove, and there was a vast expanse of whiteness, as if the white peach blossoms were in full bloom. Tang Yun sighed softly: "It's just a pity, it's a pity that I couldn't see the ten miles of peach blossoms in March."

   Tang Lingxian said with a smile: "There will always be a chance. Our cousin is really as 'playing with things and losing one's ambition' as rumored. No wonder women all over the world envy Qin Keqing?"

   "Sister, are you envious?"

   "I'm envious, of course I'm envious."

  Looking at the endless white peach forest, Tang Yun slowly closed her eyes.

  She is not envious,

   Added a bit of regret!

  ...

The carriage entered the depths of the peach forest, and the two princesses got out of the carriage slowly with the help of the maidservants. A bluestone path ran across a courtyard. It could be said that there was a family in the depths of the peach forest. Yet chic.

The snow on the bluestone slab has been cleared away, and the servants of the Yanyu Building are waiting respectfully, but the leader is Lei Ying, the inspector of the Xingtian Mansion. Seeing the two getting off the car, he cups his hands and salutes, saying: "Lei Ying of the Xing Tian Mansion , see the two princesses."

   Gu Qingci did not come to greet him, but it was reasonable.

  With Gu Qingci's current status, the only people in the royal family who are worthy of him going out to greet him are the emperor and empress. As for the others, they can't afford such a great gift.

  Tang Lingxian nodded slightly, and said, "Lord Lei has worked hard, I wonder if Master Hou is here?"

  Lei Ying said: "Yesterday, after receiving the princess' order, Lord Hou didn't go out and waited for the two princesses to drive."

   "Then please ask Mr. Lei to lead the way."

  ...

In the Yanyu building, in the middle door, there are stoves burning all around. In the middle is a brazier with tea burning on it. Gu Qingci, dressed in white, sits on a stool and slowly puts the tea leaves. The water in the teapot is boiled. Gotta boil.

   When it was almost time, he slowly took out a spoonful of tea from the teapot. It was bitter in the mouth, with a slight frown, and it was a little sweeter when it entered his throat.

  When Tang Yun and Tang Lingxian entered the middle gate, they saw Gu Qingci drinking tea.

I haven't seen him for many years, but today's Gu Qingci still has the same style as before, but there are a few traces of the years. Although he is still dressed in white, it is different from the light before, and it is not those silks and satins, but just ordinary plain clothes , there was a little less vigor between the eyebrows and eyes, and some beards grew on the corners of the mouth.

  Gu Qingci put down his teacup, got up slowly, walked towards the two princesses, cupped his hands and said: "Qingci has met the two princesses, but I haven't seen them for many years, and the two princesses still have the same demeanor."

  Both Tang Yun and Tang Lingxian owed their lives to perform the ceremony.

  Gu Qingci stretched out his hand and said: "The two princesses are exhausted from the journey, let's sit down and rest for a while, and then I will make a cup of calming tea for the two of you. This tea is very effective."

   "Then thank you, Lord Hou."

  ...

The fragrance of tea is overflowing in the room, just smelling it makes people feel relaxed and happy. Tang Ling quietly looked at Gu Qingci who was making tea, and the appearance of that young man in the capital appeared in his mind, and he felt a lot of emotion for a while. The young man is now soaked in time.

  Master Wushuang back then, now has more precipitation and more charm, but it seems that he has lost a lot of vigor.

   Tang Yun is also like Tang Lingxian, and he has been in contact with Gu Qingci earlier than Tang Lingxian, and has been in contact for a longer time. Seeing Gu Qingci with such a demeanor now, she feels more emotion.

  When they first met, she never expected that one day, that foul-mouthed scholar would become the person she is today.

   Slowly serving a cup of tea for the two princesses, Gu Qingci asked slowly: "The two princesses suddenly visited the Black Region, and I didn't receive the notice from His Majesty in advance. Did something happen in Chang'an?"

  Tang Lingxian held the teacup and said, "Master Hou doesn't have to be so unfamiliar. Speaking of which, did Master Hou know about your father entering the palace the year before last?"

Gu Qingci naturally knew what Tang Lingxian was talking about. At the time when the father and son met each other in Shennvya, on the way back, Gu Yihuan had already told Gu Qingci that his identity was the uncle of Chaoguo, the queen who is now the queen of Daxia's mother, She is Gu Qingci's biological aunt, and the emperor in the Jinluan Palace is, strictly speaking, Gu Qingci's uncle.

  Now, the two princesses in front of Gu Qingci are naturally Gu Qingci's cousin.

   It's just that Gu Qingci didn't feel much when he knew it. After all, at his current level, it was really hard for him to be moved by foreign things.

   "No," Gu Qingci said, "I'm used to getting along with my current identity. I'm not used to it if I change it rashly. I hope the two princesses will forgive me."

   Tang Lingxian and Tang Yun looked at each other and sighed.

  They all know that these things cannot be forced. If ordinary people climb up to the royal relatives, they will naturally be ecstatic. With the status of Gu Qingci, it is really dispensable to have more or less relationship with the royal family.

   Moreover, they also knew that for Gu Qingci, he didn't have much feeling for the royal family. What really made Gu Qingci willing to pay so much was not the royal family, but this country.

  Even if there is an additional layer of blood relatives now, Gu Qingci's attitude will not change.
