A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 73 Teenager's heartbeat, preference!
Since she didn't want to be too ostentatious when she went out this time, she dressed plainly.

In addition, the checkout is at the innermost counter, with the back facing the door...

Gu Zhan was surrounded by a group of people, and he was too busy to take care of himself, so he didn't notice her at first.

But he is a member of the military, and he is naturally more vigilant than others.

He had already noticed it almost the moment Qi Huan looked over.

Besides—

She also stared at him intently for a while.

Gu Zhan didn't expect to meet her twice in just a few hours, and the haste was inexplicable and a little cramped.

Then, among the group of people who followed him, someone also noticed it.

A group of carefree soldiers were not so sensitive to the rules, and several of them looked at Qi Huan's master and servant one after another.

Gu Zhan realized something was wrong, so he strode up to Qi Huan.

The position of the station is good enough to block the sight of a group of big bosses who are doing good things.

Although he knew that Qi Huan was not willing to communicate with him openly, and even avoided suspicion, deliberately keeping away from him, this time it was a last resort.

It's not that Qi Huan has to avoid him...

It's true that she doesn't want to get involved, but the people who met her several times are all helping her. At least so far, she hasn't cheated on her, but she doesn't know how to repay her kindness, and she doesn't know how to flatter her.

Now that they met, they immediately smiled.

Just to say hello...

Gu Zhan was the first to speak, and said, "After the gate of the Gongyuan is locked, you can't open it at will. It will be reopened after nine days. What are you doing here now?"

Qi Huan didn't expect him to say this.

I was taken aback for a moment.

Then she reacted——

Did this Gu Shizi mistakenly think that she didn't understand the rules, so he went and came back to see Yang Qingyun again?
And look at him frowning slightly, and the seriousness with which he deliberately lowered his voice when speaking...

Don't he be afraid that he will let her in because of his friendship with each other, or give Yang Qingyun an extra meal or something?

Qi Huan wanted to laugh for a moment.

Indeed, he didn't hold back, originally it was just a curve on the corner of his lips politely, but it really turned into a little smile overflowing from his brows and eyes.

She explained: "I know the rules of the Gongyuan. I didn't come here to find my cousin. I wanted to buy something on the spur of the moment. When I got out of the car, I found that the shop happened to be nearby."

If I had known earlier, I would have gone back an hour later in the morning, and came directly to ask.

It also saves an extra trip back and forth.

When she smiled, her whole face became vivid.

Gu Zhan entered the palace to live with his sister-in-law when he was young. The Fengming Palace of the empress is always very lively. The daughters of the family are often summoned for various reasons. After being constrained by his identity, he will pay special attention to his manners in speech and deeds——

Laughter is only three points, subtle and regular.

Words, even to the point, will not say a word.

But Gu Zhan has met Qi Huan several times, it's not that Qi Huan's manners are not good, or that he is not up to the rules of a famous daughter...

As far as her speech and actions are different from others, she is more free and easy, and her every move is extra real.

Gu Zhan admitted that his initial affection for Qi Huan came from that encounter when she saved his life with her wit and wit in that cold and rainy night.

Although I can't say it out loud, every time I think of the sly and bright light in the girl's eyes at night, such a lively appearance, I feel that everything in this world is brighter and more colorful.

And the bias of the human heart, whether it is good or bad...

Once formed, there is a natural filter when looking at this person again.

What is bad becomes prejudice.

OK……

It naturally became a preference!

Gu Zhan knows that it's not good to have such a biased mind, let alone...

It's also cryptic and a bit shady.

The brighter Qi Huan smiled, the more restrained and nervous he would be every time he saw her.

then--

He became one of those "daughters of gold" who were tightly bound by rules and status.

Every word you say, or even every change of expression, must be carefully considered and cautious.

Qi Huan didn't interpret the stern expression on Gu Shizi's face too much, he only thought that he was a rather introverted and well-behaved person.

So, seeing that he was silent, she didn't think much about it. She glanced at the people on the two tables behind him, and took the initiative to say goodbye: "I won't delay your meal, we will meet later."

She slapped the counted copper coins on the counter, turned around, took Xingluo and left.

However, Xing Luo was quite jealous of Gu Zhan's identity, so he politely gave another salute, and then trotted after her.

This place is not close to the Marquis of Changning. Although she only saw her master and servant, Gu Zhan guessed that she must have traveled in a carriage, and there must be a servant waiting nearby.

But seeing the two little girls walking into the street, he still felt a little uneasy, so he turned around and said in a hurry: "Eat first, I'll come when I go."

The young and noble son of the world took the initiative to go over to strike up a conversation with the little girl, and the two of them looked at each other for a while...

These people present are usually guarding a palace city endlessly on patrol, and their lives are extremely boring. At that moment, some sensible people made a fuss and said cheerfully: "My lord, you can go as busy as you want, and we can't do without you." Let's eat."

The others didn't dare to make fun of this royal relative who was not familiar with them, but when someone started, the atmosphere immediately eased up, and a group of people chatted and laughed again.

But the eldest son is the eldest son after all, this is the only direct brother of the empress empress, everyone is discussing life by the palace wall, knowing how to measure, just make up a sentence or two, and then change the topic, no one dares to talk too much about Gu Zhan's private affairs.

Qi Huan was not familiar with the neighborhood, so after going out, he still searched carefully along the road, looking for the facade of Caidiexuan.

Then--

Gu Zhan strode up from behind.

This time, it was Xing Luo who discovered him first.

There is no way, she is too conscientious as a servant girl, when she is away from home, she is afraid that Qi Huan will make a mistake, so she can't do it without watching all directions and listening to all directions.

She immediately tugged on Qi Huan's clothes and reminded: "Miss, Gu Shizi."

Qi Huan stopped and turned around.

Thinking that there was something wrong with Gu Zhan, he gave him a questioning look.

Her gaze is too open and direct...

Gu Zhan missed another one, and instinctively avoided it.

But at any rate, it was Gu Shizi who had seen the big scene. On the bright side, Qi Huan really didn't see him showing timidity. He saw him standing in front of him solemnly, and said slowly: "There are a lot of officers and soldiers nearby these days, so as not to collide. If you just Walk around, then I will accompany you."

Qi Huan didn't want to trouble him for such a trivial matter, so he asked instead: "Aren't you going to have lunch?"

After thinking about it, I felt something was wrong: "The gate of the Gongyuan is locked, so you can't come in and out at will?"

Gu Zhan was patient with her, and explained, "The gate is locked, but it's not impossible to enter and exit at all. It's just that the procedure will be more troublesome. But I don't want to be locked in, so I was outside from the beginning. Soldier There are three levels of guards, one inside, one outside the Gongyuan, and one around the entire block."

He wasn't afraid to reveal this to Qi Huan, because the guards in the Gongyuan after the exams had been in the same way over the years. The candidates with a little experience and even the people living nearby knew it, so it was not a secret.

The test takers in the Gongyuan are all coming to the Ph.D., and they usually don’t have other things. The main reason is to prevent them from cheating. There are three layers of guards inside and outside.

Qi Huan nodded to show that he was educated.

Gu Zhan urged her, "Let's go, which shop are you going to? I'll take you there."

"It's said to be nearby." Qi Huan looked around, but continued to decline politely, "I want to find a shop called Caidiexuan, where I can look for some rouge and gouache. That place is not suitable for men to come and go, so I won't bother you."

Households like the Marquis of Changning, the women in the family, whether it’s picking jewelry, making clothes, or buying rouge and gouache, they probably won’t go out to pick them out in person. Usually, there are long-term supply stores who personally bring samples to the door. , let them buy directly in the back house.

Of course, there are occasional female relatives who go out for a walk in order to have a head, and they will come out to pick in the shop in person.

but--

According to the personality of the big girl from the Qi family, she doesn't seem to be the kind who has nothing serious to do, and would go half a city to buy a box of rouge in person.

Gu Zhan took a deep look at her and raised his eyebrows in doubt.

Of course, Qi Huan would not explain the inside story to him, and only showed a polite smile that was clearly coping with things.

She thought that Gu Zhan would leave, but she didn't want Gu Zhan to continue walking forward: "Let's go."

Qi Huan: ...

I have to send it...

It's hard to be polite, it's really not good to change someone so ignorant of flattery.

Qi Huan thought about it anyway, she said what should be said, and persuaded what should be persuaded, but he just didn't listen...

Xing Luo was a little panicked and at a loss, and kept pulling at her sleeves.

However, she was calm and followed Gu Zhan's pace.

Gu Zhanren had tall legs and long legs and walked very fast, so he deliberately slowed down his pace.

Qi Huan didn't catch up to him and stood shoulder to shoulder with him. Looking at his long legs walking slowly, he thought to himself——

Her body is sixteen this year, has it completely stopped developing?She doesn't like her petite and thin body very much, and she doesn't know if she has a chance to grow taller...

Naturally, Gu Zhan didn't know that her thinking had gone astray.

Seven or eight shops ahead, I saw Caidie Xuan.

This is a time-honored store, obviously because of the good business, the store has just been enlarged and refurbished in recent years, and the gates have been expanded to twice the width of the neighborhood.

When he arrived at the place, seeing that Qi Huan hadn't followed him, he calmly went to that stop.

wait.

At noon, there were not many customers in the shop.

The guy is so smart. At first he saw a handsome young man stopped in front of his house, but he didn't realize it. Then he saw a slow and beautiful girl following a few steps behind him, and immediately rushed out to ask for business: "Young master, young lady Why don't you come in and choose rouge and gouache? Our shop is a long-established shop, and many women's family members of rich families buy at my house, especially a few new styles that have arrived recently, which are very fashionable."

This guy is also a fine person. If such a young man and woman go out together on the street, if they are not brothers and sisters, they must be lovers.

But if they are brothers and sisters, they are generally not so reserved, and they deliberately walk two steps away from each other, and they are "shy" and embarrassed to talk too much.

And Qi Huan is not combing women's hair in a bun, so it can be seen that they are not yet a formal couple...

This is about a pair of young lovers who are interested in love and concubines, and they are not as good as piercing the window paper?Or maybe they are engaged couples, but they don't get along much, and they are still a little embarrassed with each other.

But no matter what kind of relationship they have, what the guy sees is that although the two people are relatively low-key in their attire, the clothes and jewelry they use are all good things, and the woman is served by a maid. big patrons.

The guy smiled brightly and was extremely enthusiastic.

Gu Zhan is actually not used to it, and he also has a feeling——

This guy must be secretly speculating about his relationship with Qi Huan.

Although he had some unknown thoughts, but someone secretly speculated about Qi Huan, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

So his expression was actually not very kind, and his posture was straight, standing still.

The clerk was standing beside him attentively, seeing his expressionless handsome side face, but his heart tightened for no reason, and subconsciously stepped back half a step to the side, the smile on his face suddenly subsided a bit.

And when he was feeling uneasy, Qi Huan also came close.

She came prepared, so she went down the donkey naturally. When she walked over, she stopped and said with a smile: "Since the things are good, let's go in and pick out two."

"Please come inside, girl." Xiao Er immediately ignored the uneasiness that had just been overwhelmed by someone in her heart, and immediately led her into the shop with a smile on her face.

Qi Huan walked past Gu Zhan, and glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.

Looking at his appearance, one can more or less guess that he regrets meddling in his own business.

This era under the constraints of etiquette is not comparable to a harmonious modern society where women go shopping and men carry bags. The noble Gu Shizi is surrounded by people like this, and I am afraid that it will almost turn into a large-scale communal death scene.

"Okay, go ahead, I'll just go in and look around by myself." She gave a step at the right time.

but--

What he said was casual, but it was intentional, and he planned to make the best use of this Gu Shizi.

Sure enough, as soon as this remark came out, the clerk immediately understood, and boldly turned his head and glanced at Gu Zhan——

With this casual and natural way of talking, how could they not be a couple?
But the man didn't follow, did the woman bring enough money?

While greeting Qi Huan's master and servant warmly, the clerk was secretly thinking about it.

Qi Huan also thought that Gu Zhan would leave.

In no mood--

But after she passed by, he walked in with his heels as if it was a matter of course.

Only this time he took two wrong steps and fell behind her.

At that time, there were seven or eight other female relatives in the store who were also picking out rouge. Gu Zhan's appearance and figure were already very outstanding. As soon as he entered the store, the chattering chatter stopped instantly.

Then, when everyone realized that they had lost their composure, they deliberately lowered their voices when they re-pretended to choose something, and they still peeked here from time to time.

The shopkeeper, who was checking the shelves at the counter, heard something was wrong, turned around and looked, his eyes lit up: "Master, can you choose some rouge or gouache for this girl? We still have various spices... Let me show you too? "

Gu Zhan stood upright by the counter, with a dull and rigid expression.

Qi Huan could clearly see his reluctance and discomfort, but he still gave a good-natured "hmm", and Qi Huan, who had just typed up the draft and was ready to talk, couldn't fix it...

　The number of occasional encounters is too many, isn't this fate here?╭(╯^╰)╮I really am my mother-in-law!
