Chapter 10: Dongdu

“what?”

After Pei Ji’an’s words came out, everyone was shocked. Pei Chuyue’s eyes widened, and after reacting, she was both happy and surprised: “Brother, why do you suddenly think of gift marriage?”

Pei Chuyue and Guangning Princess Li Changle are accompanying students, and the Pei family has in-laws with the eldest grandson family. These children can be said to have played together since childhood. In the eyes of Pei Chuyue, the princess Li Changle is kind and beautiful, innocent and lovely, and her elder brother Pei Ji’an is handsome, civil and martial, and she is a first-class person.

Pei Ji’an has taken care of Li Changle since he was a child, and Li Changle is also willing to get close to Pei Ji’an. The two of them have always been the golden boys and girls in Pei Chuyue’s heart. Not only did Pei Chuyue think so, but the adults were also happy to see it. The saint queen acquiesced to the princess and Pei’s family. The elders of Pei’s family also opened one eye and closed one eye, just waiting for the little princess and Yan.

The two are of similar family background, talented and beautiful, childhood sweethearts, it seems that all the difficulties and obstacles in the world are detouring for them, they only need to follow the water and wait for the moment to come.

The two children can also feel the attitude of the people around him. Although Pei Ji’an has not shown his liking for Princess Guangning in the past, when he is teased by his elders and friends, he also adopts a default attitude. Pei Chuyue thought that the elder brother and the princess would go on like this until one day, the saint queen was happy and decreed to give them marriage. Since then, her relationship with the princess will be closer.

Unexpectedly, the elder brother would take the initiative to request marriage so suddenly.

Gu Pei also looked at Pei Ji’an in surprise. With the status of the Pei family, whether Princess Shang or marrying the prince, it is more than enough. But getting married with the royal family is not an easy job, especially Princess Shang. If the princess is knowledgeable and reasonable, it would be a toss if the princess is arrogant and unruly.

On the one hand, Gu Pei loves his nephew, but on the other hand, he also feels unpleasant. Pei Ji’an can say about marrying a princess at will, as if he can easily get the princess as long as he mentions it. Gu Pei recalled his family’s situation, feeling somewhat subtle in his heart.

Gu Mingke is about the same age as Pei Ji’an, and it’s time to talk about marriage, but Gu Mingke’s marriage is a big problem. Gu Pei, a small family, doesn’t like it, but a noble girl of the same rank is unwilling to marry a sick child. Princess princess is also a good choice. Gu Mingke is weak and quiet, and marrying a strong wife is good for both parties. However, there are several princes from Pei’s family in front, and Gu Mingke is not in his turn anyway.

Gu Pei disliked the failure of the Gu family and was depressed, but on the other hand, he couldn’t let go of the Gu family. The Gu family is the real scholarly family, and now the most prestigious families in the Eastern Capital are all upstarts in front of the Gu family. Gu Pei was so contradictory and unwilling to give in in any way. Therefore, Gu Mingke’s marriage was delayed year after year.

Gu Mingke is now eighteen and has not yet been engaged. This age is nothing to a man, but it is not too early compared to his peers. Gu Pei didn’t think of this incident. After hearing Pei Ji’an said that she wanted to ask for a marriage, she suddenly felt uneasy.

Gu Pei also said: “Yeah, Da Lang, why do you suddenly think of gifting marriage? You are only seventeen this year, and you are not in a hurry to get married.”

Pei Ji’an shook his head. He didn’t feel anxious in his previous life. He and Li Changle have been with each other for many years. In addition, the saint and the queen loved their daughter, and wanted to stay with the princess for a few more years, but the marriage was not granted for a long time.

Nobody in Luoyang didn’t know about this, everyone tacitly knew that Pei’s family didn’t say a kiss to Pei Ji’an, and the palace didn’t recruit the princess as a husband. Everyone quietly waited for the little princess to grow up, and as a result, a person who did not observe the tacit agreement was shot out.

Li Chaoge came back and fell in love with Pei Ji’an. Pei Ji’an didn’t take it seriously at first. Even if Princess Anding grew up among the people, she was still a princess. Men have absolute sovereignty over marriage. He doesn’t want it. Can the princess grab it?

Who thinks, it really does.

Pei Ji’an regained his senses from the memory of his previous life, and saw his aunt and sister looking at him strangely. Pei Ji’an hurriedly concealed his expression, and said if nothing happened: “Lately, it will change. Although my marriage to Guangning has been scheduled for many years, it is a verbal agreement after all, and there is no paperwork. Since the two families have intentionally contributed to this marriage, So sooner rather than later, make a decision as soon as possible.”

Gu Pei is an aunt after all. Seeing Pei Ji’an insisted, she couldn’t persuade her anymore. Pei Chuyue was originally the number one fan of the princess and her brother. When she heard that her brother was about to marry Princess Guangning, she almost jumped three feet tall: “Okay! Great, the father-in-law is my sister-in-law! I’m going to tell the mother-in-law. The good news!”

Pei Chuyue got up and down, stood up and ran out, moving too quickly and turning over the cushion. Gu Pei was full of miscellaneous feelings in her heart. She stood up holding the fan and said, “This girl is always busy. I will go to see Ayue, and your brothers will talk slowly.”

Pei Ji’an got up and sent Gu Pei out. He was standing at the door, the early spring sun shone on him, even the light was cold. Pei Ji’an was in a daze for a while, and thought, in his previous life, Li Chaoge Yonghui returned to Luoyang for twenty-four years. Now he has only been in Yonghui for twenty-two years, two years earlier than his previous life. In this life, Pei Ji’an married Li Changle early, and when Li Chaoge appeared, the two of them had even held the wedding. In this way, Li Chaoge can’t rob her sister’s husband anymore.

The tragedy of his life began when he was entangled by Li Chaoge. In this life, he will correct all mistakes from the source, and the two of them will no longer overlap.

Today, Pei Ji’an was distracted frequently. He stood there, retracted his trance, turned and walked back. When he turned his head, he saw Gu Mingke standing not far away, looking at him calmly.

Gu Mingke didn’t say a word, but Pei Ji’an felt nervous inexplicably. It seems that all the secrets and longing for Pei Ji’an are in the eyes of the other party.

Pei Ji’an was inexplicably flustered, he smiled reluctantly, and said: “Cousin, is there anything on my body, why do you look at me like this?”

Gu Mingke shook his head slowly. He glanced at Pei Ji’an lightly, and said: “Once the gift of marriage is proposed, you can’t look back. Have you figured it out clearly?”

Pei Ji’an dodged his eyes inexplicably. He remembered the tragedy of his previous life, clenched his fists, his eyes were firm and decisive when he raised his head: “This is nature. My childhood sweetheart and Princess Guangning are in love with each other. It is my life’s wish to marry her as a husband and wife as soon as possible. .”

Pei Ji’an didn’t know that Li Chaoge was also reborn, but Gu Mingke knew. Gu Mingke and Li Chaoge didn’t have much interaction, but with the few two sides in the past, Gu Mingke could probably guess her personality. With Li Chaoge’s temperament, when she came to Luoyang, she discovered that Pei Ji’an and Li Changle had been married, so she would not give up.

Gu Mingke thought about Li Chaoge’s temper, a headache. However, when he went to the world, he was meant to help Pei Ji’an survive the calamity. Smooth sailing is not called the calamity, only the big ups and downs, through the heat and cold, can really temper his xinxing. Gu Mingke wants to ensure that Pei Ji’an is safe, but he can’t let him live too smoothly. It is also a solution for Li Chaoge to add some adjustments to Pei Ji’an.

Gu Mingke had anticipated what will happen to Pei Ji’an in the future, but this would be good for completing the task, so Gu Mingke did not remind Pei Ji’an, tacitly saying: “Okay, you don’t regret it. Wish you get your wish.”

Pei Ji’an received the first blessing for his marriage with Li Changle, and he couldn’t ask for it in his previous life, but when he heard it, he didn’t seem to be as happy as he imagined. Pei Ji’an smiled lightly and said: “Thank cousin. I also wish cousin to find family members as soon as possible and stay with him for a lifetime.”

Gu Mingke looked at Pei Ji’an quietly and said, “You don’t have to thank me.”

He is not blessing Pei Ji’an. What is Pei Ji’an thanking him for? With this little effort, it is better to think about how to deal with Li Chaoge.

Calculating the time, Li Chaoge is about to arrive in Luoyang.

Pei Ji’an didn’t know Gu Mingke’s true thoughts. He looked at his cousin who was elegant and graceful and noble in front of him, and he was moved in his heart: “Cousin is polite. I will remember your kindness to me and Guangning for life. I have nothing to do with it. In return, I can only wait for my cousin and cousin to marry in the future, and I am willing to do what I can do.”

Gu Mingke smiled extremely faintly, and did not answer, Pei Ji’an didn’t care either. Although Pei Ji’an was talking about his cousin, he knew in his heart that Gu Mingke would not get married.

In the previous life, Gu Mingke died of illness early before he got married. Even if Pei Ji’an was reborn in this life, he would not change the person who was destined to die early. His cousin won’t show up anymore.

Pei Ji’an already knew the result, but these words were casually mentioned, and he didn’t really take it to heart. It didn’t take long before Pei Ji’an completely forgot about Gu Mingke’s affairs, and instead devoted himself to the next hunt.

Not surprisingly, this will be his engagement banquet with Guangning. Pei Ji’an has protected Li Changle for ten years, and it has become instinct to treat Li Changle well. In this life, he wants to give his little princess a perfect engagement banquet.

In early February, there was a snowfall a few days ago, and the weather that had just warmed up became cold again. However, the late and early spring cold couldn’t stop the people of Luoyang from their love of going out. At the first hour, Dingding Gate was crowded with people. Carts and horses filled the streets, vendors yelled, children cried, and the line out of the city moved slowly amidst the complex sounds.

Bai Qianhe pulled his horse and stopped in front of the city gate. He saw the pomp inside and said, “What’s the matter? Why are there so few teams entering the city, but the people out of the city are so crowded?”

Li Chaoge sat on a horse, looked up at the gate of Luoyang, and heard Bai Qianhe’s voice. She returned to her senses and said, “What’s so strange about this. Dongdu is different from other places. In ordinary cities, peasant vendors rushed along. There are more people entering the city to do business, so there are more people entering the city than leaving the city, but in Luoyang, livelihood is not the most important thing, fashion is the most important thing. Today, there may be any family who wants to go out of the city to have fun, and it attracts so many people. Follow suit.”

Bai Qianhe was still amazed. He grew up in a small place and didn’t understand the preferences of people in Beijing. He originally stopped in front of the city gate, but there were too many people leaving the city. Bai Qianhe was speechless, and said to Li Chaoge: “Sister, I spent the money, and I delivered it to Dongdu. Can you let me go? You see, Dongdu is close in front of you. The city is too congested, brother. So I won’t send my sister into the city. Let’s take a step ahead for my brother, and we’ll say goodbye.”

Bai Qianhe took a step back tentatively as he spoke. He saw that Li Chaoge had no response, and was about to drive away. He suddenly heard Li Chaoge say: “Do you know how to deal with escaped prisoners?”

Bai Qianhe paused, and Li Chaoge didn’t turn his head, and continued to say unhurriedly: “Dali Temple should be more elegant, most of which are shackles, and I don’t bother to give up that effort, usually directly interrupt my leg. If I still don’t obey. , Then cut off your hand and hamstring. Anyway, it entered my hand, and Ben couldn’t get out alive.”

Bai Qianhe stopped his movements abruptly. He held back for a while and couldn’t bear to say: “This girl, where did I provoke you? Why do you have to trouble me?”

“It’s not that I’m making trouble for you.” Li Chaoge stretched out his hand kindly and motioned him to look at the city gate, “It’s Dali Temple that is making trouble for you. In the next life, you are looking for revenge. Don’t look for the wrong place. Remember to find Dali Temple.”

Seeing the wanted warrant in front of the city gate, Bai Qianhe almost vomited blood with anger: “Just because this is a mere ten thousand dollars, you dragged me away for so long? Isn’t it ten thousand dollars, can I send you it?”

“No. Old man Zhou said that there is no reward for no merit.” Li Chaoge came over to buckle Bai Qianhe’s hand.

How dare Bai Qianhe be caught by her, and rolled over from the horse, running out like a loach. This woman is very evil, she can’t fight, can’t run, she can’t run, she will definitely send him to jail because of the strength that Li Chaoge’s six relatives don’t recognize. Bai Qianhe I’s fame, even if he died, he would die under the sword. What was it that he was beheaded by the government?

Bai Qianhe was good at light work, and he used his full strength, but Li Chaoge didn’t stop it for a while. Li Chaoge’s anger was also aroused, she threw down the horse and moved true to capture Bai Qianhe.

The two of them were fighting, and suddenly there was a loud gong at the gate of the city. The officers and soldiers wearing scarlet crotch robes pushed aside the people, and abruptly made a way out: “Get out, get out soon! The saint queen goes out, the idlers retreat.”
