First love, he disturbs me and destroys the country
Chapter 13 Your heart is beating too fast.
"Eat this, it's sweet." Gu Nian held up a bunch of round sugar cakes, and some fruit pieces were dotted on the surface of each sugar cake, which looked very cute.
Liao Jiang took the top one, pushed away the other bunch of small meat cubes sprinkled with hot pepper powder, and frowned: "Wait a minute."
Who knows why this idiot bought so many small skewers, filled his hands with them, the colorful ones are really pretty, and almost all the sweet, sour and salty skewers are ready.Standing in front of this small shop, and smelling the delicious snacks on the other side of the shop, I want to buy it for Liaojiang, eagerly thinking about it.
"Oh, you two handsome guys, where did you come from?" An old lady guarding a shop by the street, with a thick back, but a kind color, "Brother Jun, this little wreath is a flower. It took less than half an hour to make it, don’t look at me as a big bastard, but my handwork is fine, if you want it, I will put it on for you on the spot, it looks nice, it’s beautiful!”
Liaojiang didn't care, but Gu Nian seemed to like it, he couldn't stop staring at the white flower, Liaojiang said, "How about putting it on for you?"
Gu Nian shook her head: "You look good in it."
The old lady looked at the two with smiling eyes, and said in her mouth: "Both of them look good in clothes, and each of them wears a string. Come, I will put them on for the two handsome brothers!"
It just so happened that Liaojiang was stuffed by Gu Nian again, and she didn't have time to talk. The aunt walked out of the shop on her own initiative, and quickly put one on each wrist of the two, boasting: "One suits the color of the moon, and the other matches the color of the night." Shen Yueming."
Liaojiang didn't respond much, but Gu Nian understood and smiled slightly.Isn't it true that one person is dressed in moon white and the other in black?Like the moonlight in the dark night, and a pair of flowers complement each other, it has to be said that it is a perfect match.
Gu Nian was happy in her heart, and generously gave the old lady two taels of silver, one tael was for flowers, and the other tael was for happiness.
Liao Jiang raised his arms, revealing his thin wrists, the small garlands were not tightly wound, the small white flowers were strung together by a very finely twisted silk, and wrapped three times around the wrists, the petals were small, But it seems to be full of juice, plump and plump, with a light fragrance.
Gu Nian took a closer look: "It's so beautiful."
"Look at your own." Liao Jiang withdrew his hand, instead of eating the skewers in Gu Nian's hands, he ate the wraps in his own hands, and deliberately bypassed the shop where Gu Nian wanted to buy things.
Liao Jiang walked slowly ahead, and Gu Nian followed obliquely behind him, seeing him turn here, look there, and carefully distribute some of the small skewers in his hand to the passing children. Hearing them chatter away, he felt amused .
A long time ago, he followed this man in the same way, watching him struttingly and leaning on him when he was tired.But now, this person's figure has become regular and straight, walking like a cloud, and his mind is messed up, trying to return to the past immediately.
"What's the fuss?" Liao Jiang saw that Gu Nian was not in his right mind, and took a skewer from him.
Gu Nian raised a smile: "I just saw that the elder brother next to me carried the burden, and I don't know what is sold inside."
Liaojiang looked over, and saw that it was a hunched old man at the bridgehead who unloaded his burden, wiped his face with a sweat towel, and started selling Laojiao steamed buns.
Liao Jiang was puzzled: "I understand that steamed buns are eaten for breakfast, but it's almost noon, why are you selling these steamed buns?"
Gu Nian grabbed his lapel, and led him over with his warning eyes: "Brother, besides radish and pickles, how else can you eat this steamed bun?"
The old man spoke vigorously. The slices were fried to a crispy yellow, fragrant and crispy, and the small meat and side dishes were sandwiched with salty and delicious appetizers. Finally, he said: "If you want to eat this, of course it is still hot, sweet and soft, but today it is delicious. Get up late, come late, otherwise, oh, it would have been sold out."
The sackcloth was tightly covered, and the old man lifted it up to see that the steamed buns were white and big. Liaojiang had a keen sense of smell, and only felt the sweet smell, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Gu Nian said: "Why don't you buy a few more and take them home, and ask the shoppers to cut up and fry them."
Liao Jiang nodded, Gu Nian paid the money, took out one and handed it to him: "Eat it, and go back to the shop after shopping for a while."
The old man heard that the two of them had a shop in Qianzhuang Street, so he couldn't help but secretly looked at the two of them. The materials and stitches of the clothes were rich and noble, and he was afraid of offending these rich bosses, so his eyes were dodged, and he didn't dare to talk too much. The two left one after the other.
Gu Nian chased him to pick up some gadgets to buy, but with a shy face, he exchanged candied haws for the small windmill in the hand of the little boy, and forcefully stuffed it to Liao Jiang, who backhandedly stuffed the half-eaten steamed bun into his mouth Take a bet and ignore him again.
Qianzhuang Dadian is located in the middle of the street, and it is crowded with people from a distance, and two round and lovely big stone lions are hardly visible.When Liao Jiang approached and took a casual glance, he saw that naive look, which was completely different from the sharp characters of "Gu Fu Qian Zhuang" on the store plaque, and he felt that Gu Nian was a strange person.
Gu Nian pointed to the stone lion who was about to fall because of playing with a ball: "Is it cute?"
Liao Jiang raised the snoring windmill in his hand: "It's not so cute." The small windmill was only half the size of his palm, and he held it in his hand for a while, as if he was bullying it.
"Sir, you are here." A well-dressed servant standing at the door looked at this place, quickly descended the steps, and saluted.
"Take a few steamed buns here and slice them and bake them. Cut them thinner."
Although it was strange that the boss would eat steamed buns, the servant nodded and took it, clearing the way for the two of them, leading them through the crowded lobby to the dining room.
The shop is grandly decorated, with thick beams and fine rafters.The windows facing the gate are lined up, and at each entrance, there are people in the same clothes serving the guests in the first row, talking and trading with each other.There are well-dressed men patrolling everywhere, seeming to keep order.
Liaojiang looked carefully, and found that the Dashi people did not use silver as money, but more often used thin stone chips with engraved points as money for transactions.This kind of bank has only faintly appeared in the past two years in Qianguo's past.
The money bank acts as a bridge between property and bank notes, which is convenient for merchants to travel north and south. If the exchange channel of the bridge is controlled by a single bank, then once this bank makes trouble, the family and country will definitely be in turmoil.
And this is the situation in Qianguo now.
Liao Jiang looked at Gu Nian who was protecting him from being touched by others, wondering how this man suddenly rose up and took over the bank without leaving a drop to the Qianguo government.
When Gu Nian saw people looking over, his face was revealed, and a smile immediately hung on his face, which made Liaojiang turn his head to look elsewhere.
The two arrived at the dining room. They said it was the dining room, but in fact it is not an exaggeration to call it the study room. A wall of books occupies half of the country. There are countless scrolls, booklets, and neatly stacked calligraphy and paintings. Let Gu Nian quickly carry it to the bookshelf.
Gu Nian explained: "No one else is allowed to touch the things here. I was in a hurry to find you in the morning, and I didn't have time to sort them out."
At that time, I was busy tidying up, but I couldn't let go of the folds of books lying around, so I moved them around before stuffing them in, but I forgot the stack of books that I took out.
Liao Jiang nodded, Gu Nian asked him to sit on the square stool in front of the rectangular table, while he himself sat on the newly moved bench, waiting for the waiters in the shop to serve the food.
The dining room is separated from another room by a brocade tree. Liao Jiang was attracted by the candlestick that should have been placed on the table above. Gu Nian thought that he was just casually curious about that room, and enthusiastically introduced: " If you are late reading the booklet, just spend the night scribbling there."
"You also eat casually here on weekdays?" For some reason, Liao Jiang felt a little restless.
A picture of Gu Nian reading the booklet with a stubble all over his face appeared in his mind, and when he was hungry, he would ask someone to bring a simple meal to the desk, and continue to read the booklet after he used it casually.He didn't know why he thought this way, he just felt that this person must have a different appearance behind his back, full of troubles, and extremely depressed.
Gu Nian quickly denied it, his always flexible mind was stunned by Liao Jiang's gaze, but he couldn't think of a reason to prevaricate. Fortunately, the shop assistants led a few people to bring up pear wood trays and spread the food on the table.
Gu Nian hurriedly said: "Although I ate some stuffing just now, it doesn't hinder the present..."
Seeing that Liaojiang was staring at him relentlessly, but did not move, he had to lower his voice: "At that time, everything was not going well, so naturally he was very busy."
Liao Jiang sat on that square stool, as if he was sitting on the same stool as Gu Nian, who used to be troubled by everything, reading books with him.
But none of that happened.
Recalling what Gu Nian said on the night of the auction, saying "I remember everything, but I forgot him", after these few days of contact, now Liaojiang wants to know what he has forgotten, is it because of Gu Nian? The accompanying life is still the depth of emotion he showed.
It doesn't seem to be the case. I have always been cold-faced and cold-hearted, not the temperament he expected to face, who loves to eat, drink, have fun, love to act like a baby, and wants to be loved.
Although I couldn't help but want to eat what he brought, I couldn't help the drowsiness around him, and I was even more annoyed by the burning, warm and stable feeling that his breath gave me.
Liao Jiang sighed in his heart, picked up the topic thrown by Gu Nian, and suddenly found out that it was a clue to the incense workshop in the suburbs of the city.
"I'm going to buy the good land next to the incense workshop. A few days before the brothel auction, I was going to discuss it with Qian Shilei, but he seemed to ignore it on purpose. He avoided my people again a few days ago. Later, I just avoided seeing them, and there was no feedback at all. In the three years of Qianguo, I also had a lot of dealings with the court of Qianguo, and several close friends occasionally revealed to me some secrets of the court. Among them, women from the Dashi tribe made incense, I also know about seeking immortality."
Liaojiang listened intently, and slowly picked out vegetables to eat.The matter is becoming clearer and clearer.
"I also know some news about Linghuajuan. I thought about it out of concern for Linghuajuan, but those who are directly linked to Linghuajuan are those women from the Dashi ethnic group who are locked in the incense workshop and come from brothels. These strings can generally think of me. There is a larger incense-making field underground in the piece of ground that is going to be purchased, and the one on the surface is just a cover to cover up the entry and exit of personnel."
The steamed buns with golden sides on both sides were served on the table, and Liao Jiang picked it up and tasted it, it was crunchy and had a sweet fragrance.After a moment of silence, he said, "Yesterday you went to Changze Tower to tell me these things?"
Gu Nian nodded and looked at him with bright eyes, as if he wanted to be praised, but Liaojiang replied ruthlessly: "That's what I heard when I sneaked out of Changze Tower late at night."
Gu Nian slumped his shoulders, saw that Liao Jiang was still looking at him, thought for a while, and said: "There is another one, I must have never heard of it, the empty coffin of the emperor's tomb."
"Ok?"
"At the end of last winter, there was a disturbance in the imperial court. A coffin protruded from the ground in the imperial mausoleum. The emperor went to see that it was empty and there was no one there. So someone secretly put something in it, as the weight of that person's bones. Back to the ground."
"Is it Linghua roll?" Liaojiang asked proactively.
"Thirty to four out of ten, the Linghua roll is an extremely important thing in the eyes of the emperor, and it will not be placed in a fixed place where people can easily find it."
Liao Jiang pondered: "Seventy-eight out of ten are Dashi women, alive."
The two chatted while eating, chatting without saying a word, and when the food was cold, they ordered the waiter to come and take it away.
After lunch at noon, Liaojiang felt sleepy. He wanted to pick up some calligraphy and paintings on Gu Nianshu's wall to have a look, and add some sleepiness so that he could lie down and fall asleep. He didn't want to take out a scroll and unfold it. Before Gu Nian could stop him, he saw strange symbols all over the paper.
What are the characters that are not Dashi?
What is that text that says "Saji"?
What is the appearance of the messy little people mixed in the text?
Liao Jiang looked quietly at Gu Nian who was stunned in place, and asked: "I was seen by the Lord, are you embarrassed?"
Gu Nian groaned a few times, and now she was finally ashamed, with a thin blush on her face, and hurried over to take the scroll, but was blocked by Liaojiang, and the scroll was fully unfolded, with the inscription on the lower left corner saying: Unswerving, seek You are ten thousand years.
Liao Jiang glanced at the hands that he had given up and retracted: "...I am even more embarrassed now."
Gu Nian coughed lightly, stood there like a bullied chick, her heart was beating so hard that it was about to jump into her throat, she jumped so loudly that she said, "Your heart is beating too fast."
This... Annoyed, Gu Nian hugged him tightly, did nothing, took a few breaths, then reluctantly let go, and dragged him to the cubicle for a nap.
The smile on the corner of Liao Jiang's mouth could not go away, and Gu Nian lifted the quilt to cover him, and pressed him to sleep, and he was in a daze for a while.
It seems that the string that has been stretched for a long time has finally relaxed.
It seems that there is a piece of my heart that is finally not empty.
In fact, his heart beat a little faster just now, but Gu Nian didn't hear it.
☆、Fourteen are all your fault
The world in front of me was grotesque, with colorful light spots wandering around, coming and going, Liaojiang was in a daze, when someone raised his chin and touched his warm lips.
Liao Jiang couldn't avoid it, and couldn't see his face clearly, only a vague figure enveloped him, constantly lingering.
When they parted, the two gasped, and Liaojiang realized that he was in the middle of the street, and the vendors on the left and right were muttering and selling, filling his hearing like a paste.Among the crowd, only one person's figure became clearer and clearer. He wanted to catch up, but his feet seemed to be stuck in place, and he watched the person drift away and was submerged in the sea of people.
Uncomfortable, the falling feeling of being thrown, the suffocation of being submerged in deep water overwhelmed me, as if I was about to die.
Liao Jiang breathed heavily as if struggling to the death, opened his eyes quietly, and covered his eyelashes with one hand, blocking his sight.
"I'm having a nightmare." Gu Nian affirmed, took a while off, handed him a cup of tea, Liao Jiang sat up, drank half a cup lightly, and stared blankly at Gu Nian's slightly thick lips.
After a while, he said: "It's not a nightmare." It's just uncomfortable.
After saying that, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed, Gu Nian arranged the quilt casually, took Liao Jiang to the shop to relieve his mood, and then took him through the door to a shop next door.Gu Nian introduced: "That side is dedicated to exchange and deposits, and this side is used for mortgages. There are more objects, most of which are beautiful jade and gold stones. Be careful when bumping into them."
Liao Jiang nodded, avoiding the big porcelain vat held by one person, and stopped to wait for the person holding the jade ruyi to pass by, as if everything was a treasure.
Suddenly there was a commotion in the corner of the room, and a familiar voice shouted: "Please brother! Let us mortgage this, we haven't eaten all day!"
Isn't this the young man who cried so much last night?Liaojiang looked from a distance, and it was indeed Feng Xianghong, standing in front of the window holding a seal, with tears and snot all over his face.
The old man said: "It's really not good, it's too expensive! Young master, you should take care of it yourself."
The bearded man behind the young man couldn't bear to ask for help, and the bearded man trembled alone.
"It's just a seal, I'll change it back when I have money. Brother, please save someone's life and build a seven-level pagoda!"
The old man still refused, waved his hands, and was in a dilemma.
Liao Jiang thought, probably the bearded man made too much noise last night, and all the money in his hand was given to the girls in Changzelou, and he woke up today, penniless.
Thinking about meeting Feng Xianghong with another face yesterday, it is not easy to help him now, so let's be his big brother again.He looked at Gu Nian, hanging himself high like a normal person, not caring about what happened in his shop.
The old man was helpless, and said: "I will make an exception for you. The bank will prepare meals for you today, and treat it as a courtesy guest. Look at you coming from afar..."
Feng Xianghong interrupted him: "I want to eat the signature dishes of the No. [-] Restaurant, so I don't want the money to be spent by the bank. I want silver now. If you are kind, big brother, just give it to me."
Liaojiang looked at it for a while, and the two sides were at a stalemate, as if there was nothing interesting, so he was about to leave.
Gu Nian said with a smile: "I vaguely remember that he is the youngest son of the Pavilion Master of Qianjiang Pavilion. He often travels with people. It is very rare to see him once. I didn't expect to meet him here today."
Liao Jiang asked: "Since we know each other, why don't you help him once?"
Gu Nian replied: "He doesn't want to reveal his identity outside, and he doesn't like others to flatter and flatter him because of his identity, so just leave him alone. Besides, this matter can't be handled well, so what's the use of them?"
A person passed by in a hurry. It turned out that it was the clerk who called Defa. Defa was also taken aback when he saw the two people standing steadily. He saluted and hurried to talk to Feng Xianghong.
"Young master, you came here to borrow money. The seal is too expensive, and it is a token of your passing. How can you mortgage it at will?"
Feng Xianghong was surprised and said, "Can the bank still borrow money? That would be wonderful. Uncle, let's go borrow some. You made the deposit because of you."
The bearded man rubbed his hands in shame, and the two of them followed Defa to the Liaojiang side, and passed through the gate to another room.
Feng Xianghong accidentally saw Liao Jiang with an expressionless face, and felt faintly kind, as if he had seen him somewhere before, and smiled at him.Seeing Gu Nian with a happy face again, thinking of his usual stern posture, he couldn't help but flatten the corners of his mouth, put on the airs of a young master, and hastily saluted as a peer when passing by.
"Watch people order food." Gu Nian said, looking at Liaojiang, "Even if you have a cold face, people like you, and I like you the most."
Liaojiang Bai glanced at him, speechless.
Afterwards, the two walked around several large rooms, and Liao Jiangzai even let Liao Jiangzai take a closer look at the tortoise in the pool in the backyard.
There is a pond in the backyard, a yellow cat and a flower, and two cats are fishing for koi carp to play.
Seeing someone stepping into this quiet place, the two cats immediately jumped off the round platform and stuck to it. They all threw themselves on Liaojiang's skirt meowing and rolling, turning a blind eye to Gu Nian.
Gu Nian couldn't help laughing, and teased the cat with Liaojiang for a while.
The two wandered around until the evening, when the lights came on, each had its own excitement.Gu Nian took Liao Jiang away from several scattered arenas and bloody gambling places, and took him alone to the teahouse to listen to books, the library to pick up books, the flower shop to buy flowers, and sit on the bench by the small river , it was late at night in the blink of an eye.
Liao Jiang was carrying the peach blossom lantern that Gu Nian gave him. The slender handle was fragile and easy to break.
Hearing Gu Nian's parting words, he felt a little regretful.For many years, no one has been able to spend a day with him. When he lived in seclusion, he mostly went to the streets alone, and occasionally sneaked out when he was locked in a deep wall, and returned when the time came.
The long street was crowded with people, laughing and cursing, standing, running and jumping, nothing major happened, and it was extremely peaceful.These people are what the Dashi tribe wants to destroy.
Liao Jiang's thoughts wandered, he subconsciously avoided the approaching person, and bumped into Gu Nian who was beside him, and the two walked shoulder to shoulder, going to the clothing store to get back the changed clothes.
The passing lights are flickering and flickering, and the light is moving. In the darkness, the hand is touched lightly, and the next moment it is tightly wrapped, and the finger is firmly inserted|inserted|inserted into another person's finger.
With irresistible tenderness.
Liao Jiang glared at him, and with his other hand he had already taken out a small bag of medicine, ready to sprinkle it on Gu Nian's face.
Gu Nian pursed her lips, glanced at other places, deliberately pretending not to see Liaojiang's blade-like eyes, and exerted force on her hands, so that her crossed fingers fit together a little better.
When Jiang Jiang walked to the door of the clothing store, Gu Nian suddenly turned his head and rubbed against Liao Jiang's cheek. I can't get along without you! Shameless dog!"
Liao Jiang was in a hurry and went directly into the clothing store, ignoring Gu Nian who was hiding at the side with a fishy smile on his face, and asked someone to bring out the clothes and change them himself.
Gu Nian succeeded in stealing the chicken but lost the rice. When he went back to the carriage, Liao Jiang kicked him out of the carriage and received a pink pill.
"Since you like to make small moves so much, you can do enough tonight." After Liao Jiang disguised himself as a little girl, his voice became louder and full of ridicule.
Looking at the familiar pill, Gu Nian started to get a headache. He had accidentally taken it once before, which caused Liaojiang to stay up all night. Later, he got interested and searched for the pill at his place, forcing him to take it by himself. His face was blushing and begged bitterly, but he stayed up all night.
"Aren't you afraid? It's just a pill, not as deadly as the one I took today." Liao Jiang lifted the veil covering his face, fixed his eyes on the pill, and said, "Take it."
Gu Nian asked for trouble, and swallowed the pill procrastinatingly.
Liaojiang didn't check, just looked at him, but after a while, seeing that his breathing began to become short and disordered, he nodded in satisfaction and prepared to get back into the carriage.
Unexpectedly, Gu Nian grabbed hold of him, lifted his veil and put it next to his ear, exhaling a long hot breath: "It's all because of you."
After saying that, he took a light bite on the side of his neck, stepped back and left, and disappeared after a while.
Liao Jiang covered his wet neck and stood still for a long time before entering the carriage with his lips pursed. Defa and another driver drove back to Changze Building.
Liao Jiang took the top one, pushed away the other bunch of small meat cubes sprinkled with hot pepper powder, and frowned: "Wait a minute."
Who knows why this idiot bought so many small skewers, filled his hands with them, the colorful ones are really pretty, and almost all the sweet, sour and salty skewers are ready.Standing in front of this small shop, and smelling the delicious snacks on the other side of the shop, I want to buy it for Liaojiang, eagerly thinking about it.
"Oh, you two handsome guys, where did you come from?" An old lady guarding a shop by the street, with a thick back, but a kind color, "Brother Jun, this little wreath is a flower. It took less than half an hour to make it, don’t look at me as a big bastard, but my handwork is fine, if you want it, I will put it on for you on the spot, it looks nice, it’s beautiful!”
Liaojiang didn't care, but Gu Nian seemed to like it, he couldn't stop staring at the white flower, Liaojiang said, "How about putting it on for you?"
Gu Nian shook her head: "You look good in it."
The old lady looked at the two with smiling eyes, and said in her mouth: "Both of them look good in clothes, and each of them wears a string. Come, I will put them on for the two handsome brothers!"
It just so happened that Liaojiang was stuffed by Gu Nian again, and she didn't have time to talk. The aunt walked out of the shop on her own initiative, and quickly put one on each wrist of the two, boasting: "One suits the color of the moon, and the other matches the color of the night."

Gu Nian took a closer look: "It's so beautiful."
"Look at your own." Liao Jiang withdrew his hand, instead of eating the skewers in Gu Nian's hands, he ate the wraps in his own hands, and deliberately bypassed the shop where Gu Nian wanted to buy things.
Liao Jiang walked slowly ahead, and Gu Nian followed obliquely behind him, seeing him turn here, look there, and carefully distribute some of the small skewers in his hand to the passing children. Hearing them chatter away, he felt amused .

Gu Nian pointed to the stone lion who was about to fall because of playing with a ball: "Is it cute?"
Liao Jiang raised the snoring windmill in his hand: "It's not so cute." The small windmill was only half the size of his palm, and he held it in his hand for a while, as if he was bullying it.
"Sir, you are here." A well-dressed servant standing at the door looked at this place, quickly descended the steps, and saluted.
"Take a few steamed buns here and slice them and bake them. Cut them thinner."
Although it was strange that the boss would eat steamed buns, the servant nodded and took it, clearing the way for the two of them, leading them through the crowded lobby to the dining room.
The shop is grandly decorated, with thick beams and fine rafters.The windows facing the gate are lined up, and at each entrance, there are people in the same clothes serving the guests in the first row, talking and trading with each other.There are well-dressed men patrolling everywhere, seeming to keep order.
Liaojiang looked carefully, and found that the Dashi people did not use silver as money, but more often used thin stone chips with engraved points as money for transactions.This kind of bank has only faintly appeared in the past two years in Qianguo's past.

There are countless scrolls, booklets, and neatly stacked calligraphy and paintings. Let Gu Nian quickly carry it to the bookshelf.
Gu Nian explained: "No one else is allowed to touch the things here. I was in a hurry to find you in the morning, and I didn't have time to sort them out."

Gu Nian quickly denied it, his always flexible mind was stunned by Liao Jiang's gaze, but he couldn't think of a reason to prevaricate. Fortunately, the shop assistants led a few people to bring up pear wood trays and spread the food on the table.
Gu Nian hurriedly said: "Although I ate some stuffing just now, it doesn't hinder the present..."
Seeing that Liaojiang was staring at him relentlessly, but did not move, he had to lower his voice: "At that time, everything was not going well, so naturally he was very busy."
Liao Jiang sat on that square stool, as if he was sitting on the same stool as Gu Nian, who used to be troubled by everything, reading books with him.
But none of that happened.
Recalling what Gu Nian said on the night of the auction, saying "I remember everything, but I forgot him", after these few days of contact, now Liaojiang wants to know what he has forgotten, is it because of Gu Nian? The accompanying life is still the depth of emotion he showed.
It doesn't seem to be the case. I have always been cold-faced and cold-hearted, not the temperament he expected to face, who loves to eat, drink, have fun, love to act like a baby, and wants to be loved.
Although I couldn't help but want to eat what he brought, I couldn't help the drowsiness around him, and I was even more annoyed by the burning, warm and stable feeling that his breath gave me.
Liao Jiang sighed in his heart, picked up the topic thrown by Gu Nian, and suddenly found out that it was a clue to the incense workshop in the suburbs of the city.
"I'm going to buy the good land next to the incense workshop. A few days before the brothel auction, I was going to discuss it with Qian Shilei, but he seemed to ignore it on purpose. He avoided my people again a few days ago. Later, I just avoided seeing them, and there was no feedback at all. In the three years of Qianguo, I also had a lot of dealings with the court of Qianguo, and several close friends occasionally revealed to me some secrets of the court. Among them, women from the Dashi tribe made incense, I also know about seeking immortality."
Liaojiang listened intently, and slowly picked out vegetables to eat.The matter is becoming clearer and clearer.
"I also know some news about Linghuajuan. I thought about it out of concern for Linghuajuan, but those who are directly linked to Linghuajuan are those women from the Dashi ethnic group who are locked in the incense workshop and come from brothels. These strings can generally think of me. There is a larger incense-making field underground in the piece of ground that is going to be purchased, and the one on the surface is just a cover to cover up the entry and exit of personnel."
The steamed buns with golden sides on both sides were served on the table, and Liao Jiang picked it up and tasted it, it was crunchy and had a sweet fragrance.After a moment of silence, he said, "Yesterday you went to Changze Tower to tell me these things?"
Gu Nian nodded and looked at him with bright eyes, as if he wanted to be praised, but Liaojiang replied ruthlessly: "That's what I heard when I sneaked out of Changze Tower late at night."
Gu Nian slumped his shoulders, saw that Liao Jiang was still looking at him, thought for a while, and said: "There is another one, I must have never heard of it, the empty coffin of the emperor's tomb."
"Ok?"
"At the end of last winter, there was a disturbance in the imperial court. A coffin protruded from the ground in the imperial mausoleum. The emperor went to see that it was empty and there was no one there. So someone secretly put something in it, as the weight of that person's bones. Back to the ground."
"Is it Linghua roll?" Liaojiang asked proactively.
"Thirty to four out of ten, the Linghua roll is an extremely important thing in the eyes of the emperor, and it will not be placed in a fixed place where people can easily find it."
Liao Jiang pondered: "Seventy-eight out of ten are Dashi women, alive."
The two chatted while eating, chatting without saying a word, and when the food was cold, they ordered the waiter to come and take it away.
After lunch at noon, Liaojiang felt sleepy. He wanted to pick up some calligraphy and paintings on Gu Nianshu's wall to have a look, and add some sleepiness so that he could lie down and fall asleep. He didn't want to take out a scroll and unfold it. Before Gu Nian could stop him, he saw strange symbols all over the paper.
What are the characters that are not Dashi?
What is that text that says "Saji"?
What is the appearance of the messy little people mixed in the text?
Liao Jiang looked quietly at Gu Nian who was stunned in place, and asked: "I was seen by the Lord, are you embarrassed?"
Gu Nian groaned a few times, and now she was finally ashamed, with a thin blush on her face, and hurried over to take the scroll, but was blocked by Liaojiang, and the scroll was fully unfolded, with the inscription on the lower left corner saying: Unswerving, seek You are ten thousand years.
Liao Jiang glanced at the hands that he had given up and retracted: "...I am even more embarrassed now."
Gu Nian coughed lightly, stood there like a bullied chick, her heart was beating so hard that it was about to jump into her throat, she jumped so loudly that she said, "Your heart is beating too fast."
This... Annoyed, Gu Nian hugged him tightly, did nothing, took a few breaths, then reluctantly let go, and dragged him to the cubicle for a nap.
The smile on the corner of Liao Jiang's mouth could not go away, and Gu Nian lifted the quilt to cover him, and pressed him to sleep, and he was in a daze for a while.
It seems that the string that has been stretched for a long time has finally relaxed.
It seems that there is a piece of my heart that is finally not empty.
In fact, his heart beat a little faster just now, but Gu Nian didn't hear it.
☆、Fourteen are all your fault
The world in front of me was grotesque, with colorful light spots wandering around, coming and going, Liaojiang was in a daze, when someone raised his chin and touched his warm lips.
Liao Jiang couldn't avoid it, and couldn't see his face clearly, only a vague figure enveloped him, constantly lingering.
When they parted, the two gasped, and Liaojiang realized that he was in the middle of the street, and the vendors on the left and right were muttering and selling, filling his hearing like a paste.Among the crowd, only one person's figure became clearer and clearer. He wanted to catch up, but his feet seemed to be stuck in place, and he watched the person drift away and was submerged in the sea of people.
Uncomfortable, the falling feeling of being thrown, the suffocation of being submerged in deep water overwhelmed me, as if I was about to die.
Liao Jiang breathed heavily as if struggling to the death, opened his eyes quietly, and covered his eyelashes with one hand, blocking his sight.
"I'm having a nightmare." Gu Nian affirmed, took a while off, handed him a cup of tea, Liao Jiang sat up, drank half a cup lightly, and stared blankly at Gu Nian's slightly thick lips.
After a while, he said: "It's not a nightmare." It's just uncomfortable.
After saying that, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed, Gu Nian arranged the quilt casually, took Liao Jiang to the shop to relieve his mood, and then took him through the door to a shop next door.Gu Nian introduced: "That side is dedicated to exchange and deposits, and this side is used for mortgages. There are more objects, most of which are beautiful jade and gold stones. Be careful when bumping into them."
Liao Jiang nodded, avoiding the big porcelain vat held by one person, and stopped to wait for the person holding the jade ruyi to pass by, as if everything was a treasure.
Suddenly there was a commotion in the corner of the room, and a familiar voice shouted: "Please brother! Let us mortgage this, we haven't eaten all day!"
Isn't this the young man who cried so much last night?Liaojiang looked from a distance, and it was indeed Feng Xianghong, standing in front of the window holding a seal, with tears and snot all over his face.
The old man said: "It's really not good, it's too expensive! Young master, you should take care of it yourself."
The bearded man behind the young man couldn't bear to ask for help, and the bearded man trembled alone.
"It's just a seal, I'll change it back when I have money. Brother, please save someone's life and build a seven-level pagoda!"
The old man still refused, waved his hands, and was in a dilemma.
Liao Jiang thought, probably the bearded man made too much noise last night, and all the money in his hand was given to the girls in Changzelou, and he woke up today, penniless.
Thinking about meeting Feng Xianghong with another face yesterday, it is not easy to help him now, so let's be his big brother again.He looked at Gu Nian, hanging himself high like a normal person, not caring about what happened in his shop.
The old man was helpless, and said: "I will make an exception for you. The bank will prepare meals for you today, and treat it as a courtesy guest. Look at you coming from afar..."
Feng Xianghong interrupted him: "I want to eat the signature dishes of the No. [-] Restaurant, so I don't want the money to be spent by the bank. I want silver now. If you are kind, big brother, just give it to me."
Liaojiang looked at it for a while, and the two sides were at a stalemate, as if there was nothing interesting, so he was about to leave.
Gu Nian said with a smile: "I vaguely remember that he is the youngest son of the Pavilion Master of Qianjiang Pavilion. He often travels with people. It is very rare to see him once. I didn't expect to meet him here today."
Liao Jiang asked: "Since we know each other, why don't you help him once?"
Gu Nian replied: "He doesn't want to reveal his identity outside, and he doesn't like others to flatter and flatter him because of his identity, so just leave him alone. Besides, this matter can't be handled well, so what's the use of them?"
A person passed by in a hurry. It turned out that it was the clerk who called Defa. Defa was also taken aback when he saw the two people standing steadily. He saluted and hurried to talk to Feng Xianghong.
"Young master, you came here to borrow money. The seal is too expensive, and it is a token of your passing. How can you mortgage it at will?"
Feng Xianghong was surprised and said, "Can the bank still borrow money? That would be wonderful. Uncle, let's go borrow some. You made the deposit because of you."
The bearded man rubbed his hands in shame, and the two of them followed Defa to the Liaojiang side, and passed through the gate to another room.
Feng Xianghong accidentally saw Liao Jiang with an expressionless face, and felt faintly kind, as if he had seen him somewhere before, and smiled at him.Seeing Gu Nian with a happy face again, thinking of his usual stern posture, he couldn't help but flatten the corners of his mouth, put on the airs of a young master, and hastily saluted as a peer when passing by.
"Watch people order food." Gu Nian said, looking at Liaojiang, "Even if you have a cold face, people like you, and I like you the most."
Liaojiang Bai glanced at him, speechless.
Afterwards, the two walked around several large rooms, and Liao Jiangzai even let Liao Jiangzai take a closer look at the tortoise in the pool in the backyard.
There is a pond in the backyard, a yellow cat and a flower, and two cats are fishing for koi carp to play.
Seeing someone stepping into this quiet place, the two cats immediately jumped off the round platform and stuck to it. They all threw themselves on Liaojiang's skirt meowing and rolling, turning a blind eye to Gu Nian.
Gu Nian couldn't help laughing, and teased the cat with Liaojiang for a while.
The two wandered around until the evening, when the lights came on, each had its own excitement.Gu Nian took Liao Jiang away from several scattered arenas and bloody gambling places, and took him alone to the teahouse to listen to books, the library to pick up books, the flower shop to buy flowers, and sit on the bench by the small river , it was late at night in the blink of an eye.
Liao Jiang was carrying the peach blossom lantern that Gu Nian gave him. The slender handle was fragile and easy to break.
Hearing Gu Nian's parting words, he felt a little regretful.For many years, no one has been able to spend a day with him. When he lived in seclusion, he mostly went to the streets alone, and occasionally sneaked out when he was locked in a deep wall, and returned when the time came.
The long street was crowded with people, laughing and cursing, standing, running and jumping, nothing major happened, and it was extremely peaceful.These people are what the Dashi tribe wants to destroy.
Liao Jiang's thoughts wandered, he subconsciously avoided the approaching person, and bumped into Gu Nian who was beside him, and the two walked shoulder to shoulder, going to the clothing store to get back the changed clothes.
The passing lights are flickering and flickering, and the light is moving. In the darkness, the hand is touched lightly, and the next moment it is tightly wrapped, and the finger is firmly inserted|inserted|inserted into another person's finger.
With irresistible tenderness.
Liao Jiang glared at him, and with his other hand he had already taken out a small bag of medicine, ready to sprinkle it on Gu Nian's face.
Gu Nian pursed her lips, glanced at other places, deliberately pretending not to see Liaojiang's blade-like eyes, and exerted force on her hands, so that her crossed fingers fit together a little better.
When Jiang Jiang walked to the door of the clothing store, Gu Nian suddenly turned his head and rubbed against Liao Jiang's cheek. I can't get along without you! Shameless dog!"
Liao Jiang was in a hurry and went directly into the clothing store, ignoring Gu Nian who was hiding at the side with a fishy smile on his face, and asked someone to bring out the clothes and change them himself.
Gu Nian succeeded in stealing the chicken but lost the rice. When he went back to the carriage, Liao Jiang kicked him out of the carriage and received a pink pill.
"Since you like to make small moves so much, you can do enough tonight." After Liao Jiang disguised himself as a little girl, his voice became louder and full of ridicule.
Looking at the familiar pill, Gu Nian started to get a headache. He had accidentally taken it once before, which caused Liaojiang to stay up all night. Later, he got interested and searched for the pill at his place, forcing him to take it by himself. His face was blushing and begged bitterly, but he stayed up all night.
"Aren't you afraid? It's just a pill, not as deadly as the one I took today." Liao Jiang lifted the veil covering his face, fixed his eyes on the pill, and said, "Take it."
Gu Nian asked for trouble, and swallowed the pill procrastinatingly.
Liaojiang didn't check, just looked at him, but after a while, seeing that his breathing began to become short and disordered, he nodded in satisfaction and prepared to get back into the carriage.
Unexpectedly, Gu Nian grabbed hold of him, lifted his veil and put it next to his ear, exhaling a long hot breath: "It's all because of you."
After saying that, he took a light bite on the side of his neck, stepped back and left, and disappeared after a while.
Liao Jiang covered his wet neck and stood still for a long time before entering the carriage with his lips pursed. Defa and another driver drove back to Changze Building.
