Rebirth Strategy: Please let me go

"Why are you sighing?"

An Jinshu didn't expect that the other party could hear such a shallow sigh, and said quickly: "I just let out a little breath. Since my brother is here, let's go. We can catch up with the most popular people on the street when we leave the house at this time." It’s busy, I’m sure I haven’t eaten yet, come on, I’ll treat you to something delicious.”

How could Gu Qingchen not see such an obvious desire to hide something, but he just smiled and said yes, not intending to go into details about why the other party sighed.

Since leaving the house at night was different from leaving the house during the day, An Jinshu brought more people with her to protect her safety. In addition to her red carp and green radish, she also specially found two big-bodied and round-waisted women to accompany her. She thought that if something happened The physiques of these two women can also intimidate each other.

But when she saw the personal soldiers brought by Gu Qingchen, she regretted her decision. How could she forget that Gu Qingchen came from her father? Her father must have known that she was leaving the house, and he must have ensured her safety. He would send personal soldiers to Gu Qingchen. Compared with them, her two wives would be a bit redundant.

So she sent the two women away and asked Hongli to give them some reward. After all, she felt a little guilty for looking for them and then sending them back.

An Jinshu was lying on the edge of the carriage window, watching many female relatives running towards the moat with peony lanterns. She stretched her head out of curiosity, and the red carp saw the scene by the moat through the gap, so she smiled and said: "Miss, tomorrow will be peonies." During the Flower Festival, these ladies are putting up lanterns to pray to the Peony Queen for her safety."

"Peony Flower Festival? What kind of festival is this?" How come she didn't know there was such a festival for all these years.

In fact, it's not surprising that she didn't know. After all, she rarely left the house in recent years, and this festival was not a big holiday, so it was reasonable that she didn't know.

"This is a small folk festival. Since Mengxia is the day when peonies are in full bloom, the people specially choose a day to celebrate."

An Jinshu became interested: "Then the Peony Festival is not tomorrow? Why is it so lively today?"

"In folk saying, tomorrow is a good day for Empress Peony. It is not good to disturb the empress with mundane things, so the day before is specially chosen to pray for good luck."

Hearing this statement, An Jinshu burst into laughter: "Empress Peony originally wanted to rest early tonight and celebrate the festival with a bright face tomorrow, but she never thought that she would have to stay up all night to deal with trivial matters. She will definitely be in a bad mood tomorrow. .”

As soon as these words came out, not only Hong Li laughed, but Lu Luo also laughed, and even Gu Qingchen, who had always been cold-faced, was slightly moved.

An Jinshu was a little unhappy when she saw that they actually laughed at her: "Am I wrong?"

Hong Li quickly suppressed a smile and nodded in agreement: "Miss, you are absolutely right."

Just then the carriage shook with a clang.

"Be careful."

Gu Qingchen's cold voice sounded, and then An Jinshu felt a soft thing behind her head, which prevented her head from having a close collision with the wooden board.

After the carriage stabilized, An Jinshu realized that her vision went dark, and the cold scent that hit her face told her that she was being protected in someone's arms, and that the soft thing behind her head was the other person's hand.

Her whole body was as stiff as a sculpture and she dared not move, her heart was like a drum, and her head was in a mess.

Gu Qingchen also acted subconsciously out of desperation. Since he was closest to An Jinshu in the situation just now, he stepped forward to protect her without much thought. At this moment, he also found that their actions were a bit inelegant and too excessive. close.

So he frowned and pulled away his hands, with a calm expression on his face, he retreated away, like someone who had nothing to do, he lifted the curtain and looked outside: "What's going on?"

As soon as he backed away from the red carp and green radish, he surrounded An Jinshu and pulled An Jinshu to look left and right to check if she had bumped into each other.

An Jinshu first raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Qingchen. When she saw that his face was as normal and he was questioning the coachman, she knew that the other party had just acted subconsciously, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said softly to the two Hong Lis: "It's okay, I'm here to protect you." Looking after me."

"Something is stuck in the carriage wheel and the wooden shaft is crushed. It may take a while to repair it. If I want to watch the fireworks, I have to walk."

After Gu Qingchen interrogated the coachman, he turned around and explained the situation to An Jinshu.

An Jinshu looked outside. The street was brightly lit and decorated with lanterns. It was not a bad walk, so she nodded and the group got off the carriage.

The sudden appearance of their group on the street seemed out of place with the surroundings. It was not that there were no children from aristocratic families around, but it was just a bit underwhelming in comparison.

The girl's brocade robe and skirt are full of brilliance, her almond eyes and dark eyebrows are as pretty as three spring peaches. The young man's brocade robe and gold satin look are extraordinary, and his cold eyebrows are heart-stopping.

In terms of appearance, they are all rare and stunning in the world. Looking at their clothes, they are either rich or noble. When everyone saw the soldiers behind them, they were even more horrified, and they roughly guessed their identities.

The only people in Yangzhou City who can use personal soldiers as bodyguards are the Duanhu Palace and Prince Duan Palace. However, Princess Anyang leads people to parade through the streets all day long. They all know her. This girl is obviously not Princess Anyang. Then there was only one possibility left, that the other party was from the Protectorate.

An Jinshu didn't pay attention to the looks from around her. She looked at the lanterns on a stall and walked over happily.

"Boss, I want this lantern, and I also want this and this." An Jinshu boldly pointed to several lanterns on it: "How much silver."

"No money." The stall owner said with a smile.

"No money?" An Jinshu was surprised: "Why not? Could it be that all the items in your stall can't be given away for free?"

"It's impossible to give it away for free. I'm just giving it to you for free, miss." After saying that, the little vendor limped out from behind the stall, and An Jinshu discovered that he had a disease in his leg.

The stall owner smiled sheepishly and rubbed his lame leg: "Seven years ago, I was a soldier under General An. When I went into battle to kill the enemy, I was stabbed in the calf by the enemy because of my timidity. It was General An who He immediately beheaded the man to save my life, and then allowed me to go home because I was too seriously injured."

He smiled bitterly and then looked at An Jinshu gratefully, as if he was looking through her at the person who saved his life during the fighting that year: "I have always been grateful to General An for his life-saving grace, but it is a pity that he is of low status and cannot think of it." Report, I just heard they said that the young lady is from the General’s Mansion. No matter what, I cannot accept the young lady’s money. I should completely express my gratitude to General An for his kindness, and I hope you will not dislike it.”

An Jinshu was greatly shocked. She didn't know how to answer for her father so that he could clear up all these years of gratitude. The war was merciless and the sword had no eyes. As a commander, her father should save his men from fire and water. This was a What a coach should do.

But I didn't expect that this random gift of life would be remembered for so many years.

But before An Jinshu could speak, the sound of loud shouting rang in his ears.

"You're so lame, your son stole other people's eggs again, you still don't care about it."

An angry shout came from the back shop, and a woman wearing linen clothes and a flower cloth on her head came out angrily with a big belly, cursing as she walked, obviously very angry.

Listening to the roar, the stall owner first flashed fear on his face, and then showed panic. He turned around and hurriedly handed the few lanterns An Jinshu selected just now to Hong Li's hand: "I have some family matters to deal with. I want you to watch the joke." Come on, noble man, please walk slowly, I’ll go take a look first.”

After that, he limped up the steps, and the woman stepped forward, pinched his ears, and slipped him into the house. The yelling and cursing quickly disappeared inside the shop.

An Jinshu looked at the lantern in Hong Li's hand, took out a piece of silver and placed it in a hidden part of his stall. After making sure that passers-by couldn't find it, he led everyone away.

If her father knew that the person he casually saved now has a son and a daughter, he would probably be happy for him.
