late night song

Chapter 110 A false alarm

On the official road from Huai'en to Qiongzhou, three or five carriages were driving non-stop, escorted by officers and soldiers.

It was midnight, it was dark outside the window, and Gu Yuchu was not sleepy. This trip to Qiongzhou was unexpected. If Sang'er's body could not support the ceremony, she would have to take great risks to meet Le Jia Huanyu. , I don’t know what he will think, whether he suspects that he is Beiling Xizuo or Dongqi’s secret dispatcher, but no matter what, he will not believe that he has no hostility towards He He.

If he is unlucky again and encounters Qi Yiyu who is overwhelmed by emotion, he will not be able to explain clearly even with ten mouths.

Yanfeng changed his sleeping position. The carriage was really no better than a bed, and his bones ached from sleeping.

"Aren't you asleep yet?" Yan Feng saw Gu Yuchu folding his arms and looking at the roof of the car with his eyes wide open, thinking about something. He rubbed his eyes, sat up, and yawned several times in succession.

"Yeah." Gu Yuchu responded in a low voice.

"Are you thinking about your brother?"

"Yes, I don't know where he is now."

"Relax, we might meet you when we go to Qiongzhou!"

Gu Yuchu smiled, which is why Yanfeng could be so optimistic.

"I don't know if Yu Bai and the others have followed." Gu Yuchu was a little worried and frowned slightly.

"It must be at the back. Didn't it just fall into the water or something? I will definitely recover after a night's sleep. If we don't have anything to do tomorrow, let's go eat all the delicious food in Qiongzhou!" Yanfeng moved his neck, which was stiff from sleep, and his eyes were filled with tears. expect.

"Okay, okay, take a rest quickly." She agreed with a smile.

"Well, you should go to bed earlier." After Yanfeng said that, he changed his position and fell asleep again.

The carriage was bumpy and bumpy, and although there were soldiers guarding it, Gu Yuchu was still worried that something might go wrong along the way and didn't dare to fall asleep easily. But luckily, she was too sensitive to everything.

After entering the city gate of Qiongzhou, their carriage stopped at the post station on the outskirts of Qiongzhou. The sisters-in-law who were responsible for dressing up were waiting there early to tidy up the three girls.

The sealed skirts and decorations were neatly stacked, and the floats patrolling the streets were also parked at the door.There are more than 100 flower baskets placed in the garden. A group of young ladies are quickly spreading the flowers, tearing off the petals and putting them into the baskets to use as tokens for patrolling the streets.

Looking at the fabrics of the dresses and the decorations of the floats, they are really luxurious and dazzling.

Gu Yuchu thought that He He, in such a situation of internal and external troubles, would go to such great lengths to hold an oiran competition. Isn't this a sign of national ruin? !

But then she thought about it, maybe this was Le Jia Huanyu's trick to numb the enemy's prying eyes and temptations, just like her own decision to abolish Princess Qin, who could tell whether it was true or false.

After a while, news came from Yubai that Sonner did not recover as Gu Yuchu expected.

In desperation, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and be tormented by this group of ladies. Gu Yuchu looked at Yanfeng helplessly, but she was gnawing on the fragrant pears and watching the excitement.

"Liu Guang, I've looked around, and your pearl fairy dress is the prettiest. The oiran's dress is a bit too luxurious, and the floral dress isn't grand enough. The stitching is obviously forced out." Yan Feng whispered. told her what he had discovered.

Gu Yuchu couldn't hold it back anymore and rolled her eyes. How long had it been? She didn't care about this anymore. If she really met someone she shouldn't have met, she didn't know how it would end.

But fortunately, these girls were very heavy-handed. After a while, my face was heavily smeared with makeup, with exaggerated willow-leaf eyebrows, butterfly-shaped lips, a face as pale as a hangover and a slapped red face. to the terrible cheeks.

Haha, with this look, even if Qi Jian walked by, he probably wouldn't recognize her, Gu Yuchu reluctantly comforted himself.

These days, she rarely thought about this person, but occasionally her thoughts flashed inadvertently, and her heart still hurt, and she didn't know if he was doing well now.

Yanfeng came back from strolling outside and couldn't help laughing when he saw Gu Yuchu like this.

"What are you worried about? My mother doesn't even recognize you!"

"Keep your voice down!" Gu Yuchu reminded her that Juan Niang was undoubtedly doing a disservice by asking Yan Feng to accompany her, as she was afraid that others would not recognize her and be betrayed by such an outspoken person.

"Invite the three girls to get on the float." The little ceremony official outside preached. Gu Yuchu quickly hung the white jade plaque on his waist. How could he forget this token in such a public appearance? If anyone looked at it, he would take the initiative to come. Looking for her would be twice the result with half the effort.

Then, with the support of the sisters-in-law, the three newly decorated flower houses boarded the specially-made float.

It is better to say that it is a float than a movable stage. It is divided into upper and lower floors. The lower floor is the drummer's seat. There are about twelve or three seats in a circle around the upper floor.

The upper floor is the main seat, covered with golden silk and satin. There is a sky-blue silk umbrella standing on the seat. The umbrella tip is a nine-layer pagoda carved in gold lacquer wood. The umbrella surface is embroidered with a hundred flowers blooming in red and gold threads. The embroidery technique makes the flowers come alive; there are eleven copper bells hanging from the end of the umbrella ribs, with jumping carps hanging inside the bells, and three pearls and colorful tassels tied to the tails of the carps.The float is moving, the bells are ringing, the tassels are swaying in the wind, the newly rising sun shines on the silk umbrellas, and the golden threads sparkle in the sunlight.

Gu Yuchu felt uncomfortable sitting on the most conspicuous upper level of the float. Yanfeng followed him and sat on the lower level. He kept muttering that his life was too hard and he had come all the way to work as a follower.

"Yanfeng, I heard that the oiran has to serve the monarch, so there's no need for others to wait, right?" Gu Yuchu asked nervously, raising his head.

"What do you think?" Yanfeng blinked and joked.

"Go, go, go." Gu Yuchu was no longer surprised by this dishonest girl and rolled his eyes at her.

"I heard that the king wanted all three of them to be included in the harem, but the Queen Mother did not agree."

"Why don't you agree?"

"I despise the fact that women in brothels are born low."

"Then what's the point of leaving an oiran?"

"The country of Hehe is small and weak, so it needs to keep sending princesses as bargaining chips to marry into big countries. Firstly, the daughter born to the oiran is beautiful, and secondly, the daughter born to the royal empress is reluctant to marry far away. Alas, after all, it is not easy to be an oiran. of."

Gu Yuchu stopped answering. What he said was reasonable. Beautiful women in the world can have a few days of peace and joy, but they are just struggling with power and men's desires, and they can't help themselves.

The convoy moved forward quickly and was about to reach the main street of Qiongzhou. Looking from a distance, both sides of the main street were already crowded with people watching.

As we got closer and closer, the noise became clearer and clearer. At this time, the drums sounded and the carriage slowed down. The oiran and Tanhua on the floats before and after Gu Yuchu couldn't sit still, and started dancing one after another at the moment when the girl threw petals to the sky with one hand. .

At this time, Gu Yuchu was completely confused.

what happened?Performing on the street?
No one warned her in advance!If she knew about this, I would kill her and refuse to come.Now it's okay, I'm going to lose all my shame.

"Hey, hey, hey, please move." Yan Feng stood up and reminded anxiously.

"I can't dance!" Gu Yuchu frowned, feeling very embarrassed.

Yanfeng was speechless, paused, then climbed up on the railing, poked the girl who was scattering flower petals next to the float, handed her a fine bead, and replaced it with the flower basket in her hand.

"Nuo, just pretend to scatter flowers." Yanfeng hurriedly handed the flower basket to Gu Yuchu.

Gu Yuchu gave her a thumbs up, and this was the only way she could think of.

"Wait, there's this!" Yan Feng pulled out a small package from under her seat, which was filled with colorful candies.

She poured all the candies into the flower basket in Gu Yuchu's hand and smiled.

"All the remaining food is here."

"That's interesting. I'll teach you some powerful moves when I go back!"

The sadness on Gu Yuchu's face disappeared. Now he didn't have to sit upright stupidly, nor did he have to show off his charm. He could also give some small favors without being criticized.

She happily threw flower petals and candies around the carriage, and passers-by cheered and competed for them. She had already surpassed the oiran in the limelight.

Mo Qian turned around and glared at Gu Yuchu. She was so frightened that she forgot to wear a veil on her face, and for a moment she had the urge to squat down with her head in her hands.

Fortunately, it was only a glance, and Mo Qian began to dance on the float with all her strength.She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, but Yan Feng next to her saw it clearly and cursed her for having no future.

Gu Yuchu raised his eyebrows, but at this moment, a familiar figure appeared in his eyes!Taking a closer look, it was Xiao Ling who had lost contact with him for a long time!

Xiao Ling stood in the crowd, looking at Gu Yuchu who was complacent on the float. Even though this woman was dressed so gaudy and wore a veil, he could still recognize her at a glance because he could never forget her. Cheng Liang Clear eyes, like the starry night sky.

Gu Yuchu couldn't get out of the car immediately to reminisce with him, so he had to grab a handful of candies and throw them at him. Xiao Ling took the candies with a bright smile and watched her go away.

She was surprised and full of questions. Where had he been since the city was sealed off? Why did Qiongzhou appear now?Look at his calm and leisurely look, as if he was waiting for you here specially?How could he possibly recognize him when his own father and mother couldn't recognize him?
Maybe he was really just a nymphomaniac. If he had such a unique taste, Gu Yuchu really had nothing to say.
