Litchi spring warm Xijiang

There is a second person? "

"I dare not take it," Gu Zezhi said politely, and then said goodbye to him, "I still have some things to do today, so I'll take my leave first."

"Don't," Xue Yuqing stopped her, with a faint smile on his face, "Miss Gu, do you know what will happen at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet soon?"

Gu Zezhi's heart naturally understood, and his face suddenly turned cold: "What do you want to say?"

"I know that Ms. Gu is high-minded and doesn't like me," Xue Yuqing said with a smile, "but my elder brother is with a man, and now I'm the son of the Xue family. Tell me, what do I want? Why not?"

Gu Zezhi sneered, and said: "Even if Xue Shaoqing became a monk, the position of the son-in-law is not your turn! It is your turn, what can a nameless son-in-law of the Shangshufu do to me?"

"The Xue family has to worry about the position. With the position, fame will follow," Xue Yuqing said complacently, "This is exactly the phrase 'gold loses its color when it is transported away, but iron shines when it comes'."

"Mr. Xue didn't understand the meaning of my words," Gu Zezhi didn't bother to ridicule his boastful words, but continued his topic, "Even if you win the toad palace tomorrow and become the first in the gold list, I, Gu Zezhi, can't just do it casually." You can get married. In the end, this matter is also handled by the Eldest Princess herself. To put it bluntly, it depends on my own opinion, Gu Zezhi. "

"It's still the same sentence, 'The gold loses its color when it is transported away, but the iron also shines when it comes'. What happened in the future," Xue Yuqing gave her a meaningful look, "Which of us can know thoroughly?"

Gu Zezhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "It seems that Mr. Xue has confidence. Anyway, I am waiting to see Mr. Xue's good methods."

After saying that, Gu Zezhi took Wanliang's hand and walked forward.Wanliang listened to Xue Yuqing's words, although she couldn't know the details, she could always guess the meaning between the lines.In her heart, she just wanted to pull Gu Zezhi to explain the matter clearly from beginning to end, so she hurriedly said, "What on earth does he mean? Marriage is a big matter, and it can be done by force."

"Don't worry," Gu Zezhi patted Wanliang's shoulder, and said softly, "It's true that this person's stomach is full of bad things, but it's also true that his mind is full of muddleheadedness. I have my own way to deal with it."

"You lied to me again," Wan Liang said anxiously, "I see that he is bright-headed, he just doesn't do good things."

"It's enough not to do good things," Gu Zezhi nodded and said, "If you don't do good things, then the routine will always be two or three tricks. I'll just be more cautious."

Wan Liang was silent for a while, and then asked lightly again: "But no matter what, your marriage must be finalized at the Mid-Autumn Festival feast, right?"

"That's right," Gu Zezhi sighed, "Thousands of calculations have been made, and I'm doomed to make a mistake in this matter."

Wan Liang lowered her eyes and fell silent.

Gu Zezhi gave her a sideways glance, then moved his head closer to Wanliang, and said, "Wouldn't Wanliang miss me?"

Wan Liang glanced at her, but said nothing.

"I'm also reluctant to part with Wanliang," Gu Zezhi held her hand even tighter, "It's okay, even if I'm married, we can still see each other from time to time."

"Do you have to marry someone?" Wanliang looked at her steadfastly and asked, "I don't have anyone I like anyway, so why be so hasty?"

"Why not?" Gu Zezhi smiled nonchalantly, "Looking forward to love is futile. As soon as Concubine Ji enters the door, is the love still the same? At the beginning of love, the head is dizzy, and in the end it comes to a disastrous end. Why bother? It's better to marry with peace of mind, and just treat it as if you have a predestined relationship with Buddhism in this life."

Wan Liang sighed softly, pondered for a while, then raised her eyes to look at Gu Zezhi, and said, "You are married... Gu Zezhi, when you get married, we won't have a chance to meet each other. Seriously."

Gu Zezhi was silent for a moment, then Fang said shyly, "I will often visit you in Jiangcheng."

Wanliang smiled perfunctorily, then turned her eyes away.For a while, neither of them spoke again.

When you get married... Gu Zezhi, when you get married, we won't meet again.As you said, the word love is futile.No matter what there is no hope for, it will be embarrassing to look forward to it.Thinking about it, Wanliang always felt that she had lost something.

Gu Zezhi seemed to feel that the atmosphere was too gloomy, so he pretended to be happy and said to Wan Liang: "Wan Liang should invite me to eat at Zuixianlou, it's a pity not to eat the tea cakes there when I finally come to the capital La!"

"It's still early, why don't you go shopping first?"

Gu Zezhi turned his head and smiled at her, and said, "I'm afraid you'll be bored walking around."

Wan Liang shook her head, pulled her closer to a fortune-telling and divination booth, and said, "Isn't that counting as marriage?"

"What's the point of that thing?" Gu Zezhi smiled and patted her away, "You're here to make fun of me again."

Wan Liang smiled and shook her head.I'm not trying to make you happy, I'm just looking for sin and suffering.

The two laughed and wandered around, passing through the noisy crowd, from North Street to South Alley.As the sun faded to the west, the little gray sparrows on the cornices also returned to their nests wearily.

The old lantern seller hung up paper-folded and wood-carved lanterns one by one, and found a few beautiful spots.

"Wanliang, the beauties on that paper lantern are so vivid that they look a bit like yours." Gu Zezhi pointed at a goose-yellow paper lantern painted with figures.

Wan followed her with a sneer, looked around, and picked up a wooden fox lamp: "It looks like you."

"You will never say something good about me," Gu Zezhi said angrily, but reached out to take the fox lamp in her hand, compared her face to her face, and made a grimace, "the fox demon said, tonight Look for you."

The old man who sold the lamp smiled kindly, and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen such a pretty girl. The two of them stood under the lamp, and they looked like a pair of jade girls."

Wan Liang followed the old man's words and raised her eyes to look at Gu Zezhi.Skin white as snow, black as night, lips red as blood.

The last light in the sky disappeared, and the entire long street seemed to be ignited instantly.

Every home market is lit up, and music and music are everywhere.

Forget it, Wanliang thought, those who come are hard to chase, I just hope that those good days will never be forgotten.

Chapter Eighteen

After that night on the first day of August, Gu Zezhi was always tired of being in front of Wanliang all day long, laughing or having long talks, as if she would not get tired of such days after decades.

In those days, Wan Liang was almost grateful, if it weren't for the kindness of the years, perhaps even a moment of joy would be foolishness.

On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, the golden wind carried the laurel, and there were cheers from ten miles away.

As soon as Gu Zezhi opened his eyes, he wandered to Wanliang's room like sleepwalking, reached into the bed with one hand, and picked up Wanliang.

"Go bake mooncakes." Gu Zezhi said weakly.

Wanliang's mind was not clear yet, she stared blankly at her for a while, and then said, "What kind of madness are you doing?"

"Seriously, get up," Gu Zezhi stretched wearily, "Yesterday, I begged Mama Li for a long time before she allowed me to go to the kitchen to cook mooncakes before my father got up."

"So, you picked me up early in the morning just to eat mooncakes." Wan Liang paused, then continued, "You still fried them."

"Hey," Gu Zezhi was ridiculed by her, and suddenly regained his spirits, "Today is August [-]th, how can we distinguish the mooncakes for Mid-Autumn Festival from the mooncakes we ate a few days ago if we don't bake them ourselves?"

"Today..." Wanliang's voice gradually dropped, "It's August [-]th."

"Of course! How do you live these days?" Gu Zezhi laughed.

"Isn't it because you're so tired of me that you've messed up your days!" Wan Liang smiled perfunctorily, feeling at a loss in her heart.

"Blame me, blame me," Gu Zezhi took her hand, "I'll make mooncakes to compensate you. Don't dawdle any longer, this is a great opportunity!"

"Loss will never come again." Wan Liang murmured, and followed Gu Zezhi's strength to stand up.

Gu Zezhi randomly picked out a short cape from her closet, and handed it to her: "I'll change the beautiful clothes later, now I'm in a hurry, so wear whatever you want!"

Wan Liang nodded, put on her cloak, and followed Gu Zezhi out the door.

At the door of the small kitchen, Li Chef was waiting for Gu Zezhi with a slender face.As soon as she saw Gu Zezhi's figure, she let go of her breath and ran over in a hurry.

"Miss is here! This servant is afraid that you are late, and if you let the master watch, you must deduct all my half-year monthly payment!" Li Li frowned and blamed.

Gu Zezhi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Mama Li, don't panic, if your monthly bill is really deducted, I, Gu Zezhi, will pay you the full amount."

"Miss, hurry up and go in," Cook Li pushed Gu Zezhi lightly, "It's not a joke that the master found out."

Gu Zezhi stretched out his hand to hold Wanliang, ran into the kitchen obediently, and closed the door behind her.As soon as Wan Liang turned around, she saw that the kneaded dough and various fillings were neatly placed on the chopping board.

"This chestnut paste is really finely ground," Wan Liang said in admiration, scooping up a spoonful of chestnut paste.

"But it's less fun." Gu Zezhi was rather disappointed.

"It's not bad if you can wrap the stuffing in smoothly!" Wan Liang sneered, but the corners of her eyes were full of smiles.

"Don't bully people just because you know how to cook," Gu Zezhi laughed, "I'm still talented in eating!"

Wanliang didn't answer, but just cut the dough on her own, with a smile on her lips.

Seeing this, Gu Zezhi also started to mess around with his hands.The stuffing is covered anyway, and the mold is momentary, but it is not ugly.

"It still looks like a cake." Wanliang looked at the mooncake and commented.

Gu Zezhi grinned and smiled as if his eyes were about to fly out of starlight. It took a long time to calm down, and asked Wanliang, "How do you fry this?"

"I'll do this." Wan Liang said, and was about to shovel up the mooncake, but was blocked by Gu Zezhi.
