The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 670 Husband and wife meet

On the martial field on the hill behind the Han family, Han Shizi slashed down with a red-tasseled spear, knocking his opponent back several steps.

After the opponent stabilized his body, he bowed his hands to Shizi Han and said, "My son, I lost!"

Han Shizi was sweating profusely, panting slightly, he threw the red-tasseled spear in his hand to the guards beside him, and said, "Stand back, remember to heal your wounds."

"Yes!"

The Han family slain who confronted Han Shizi left the martial field with the help of two guards.

A long follower came forward holding a clean towel.

Han Shizi took the towel and wiped the sweat off his face, then turned to the middle-aged man who had been watching the battle and said, "Second Uncle, how are you?"

The man called the second uncle by Han Shizi is Han Yong, the second master of the Han family.

Han Yong walked over with his hands behind his back: "It's improved compared to last month."

Han Shizi quickly breathed smoothly, he was obviously not very satisfied with the result, and continued to ask: "How was Bi Xuanyuancheng back then?"

Xuanyuan Cheng, the eldest son of the Xuanyuan family, is a famous martial arts prodigy in the six countries, has won the true biography of Xuanyuan Li, and is known as the only one who can chase Xuanyuan God of War.

Han Yong once worked under Xuanyuan Sheng's command.

Han Yong pondered for a moment, then said: "You are still young, no matter how hard you practice martial arts, you may not be able to reach the height of Xuanyuan Cheng."

"That's why we still haven't been able to surpass him." Han Shizi stretched out his hand to the guard holding the red-tasseled gun.

The guard understood and handed him the red-tasseled gun.

Han Shizi practiced another round of marksmanship, and every move was murderous.

After the practice, he himself was a little dissatisfied, frowned, and said, "After all, it's not as good as Xuanyuan Li's magic weapon."

Han Yong smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, Xuanyuan Sheng may not be as powerful as you at your age. He went to the battlefield early and was killed among the dead. What you lack is also It’s just a chance to practice.”

Han Shizi threw the red-tasseled gun to his guard again.

The red-tasseled spear was too heavy, and the guard staggered a few steps, barely catching it.

Han Shizi said: "Has there been any new masters in Shengdu recently?"

Han Yongdao: "Are you talking about the underground martial arts field? Not yet, I will notify you when I have it, and let you go to the martial arts competition. Actually, the dead fighters of the Han family are also good, but unfortunately they have different paths, so they are not the most suitable opponents. "

No matter how high or low the dead warrior's martial arts are, they are not the most suitable opponents for sparring. Fighting with them only stimulates the instinct to kill.

It is not a benefit in martial arts.

Han Yong continued: "In Shengdu, you have already met a rare opponent, so you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. Ah, by the way, there is something I almost forgot to tell you."

Han Shizi said: "Second Uncle, please tell me."

Han Yongdao: "The monarch's birthday is approaching, and the imperial concubine sent a message from the palace to let you two brothers also enter the palace for the banquet."

Han Shizi paused, and said: "Che'er is so injured, I'm afraid I won't be able to go."

Han Yong smiled and said, "You can go."

Han Shizi didn't say whether he would go or not, but instead asked: "Isn't the monarch too old to pass his birthday? Why are you holding a birthday banquet all of a sudden?"

The birthdays of the monarch and the crown daughter are on the same day. Since the crown daughter colluded with the Xuanyuan family to rebel, the monarch's birthday has never been manipulated.

Han Yong smiled and shook his head: "Who knows? Our Majesty is the most moody and has weird thoughts. No one can guess what he is thinking."

"My son!"

While the two were talking, the two masters sent to watch came back, both of them were Han Shizi's personal bodyguards, one was Sun Feng and the other was Zheng Hai.

It was Sun Feng who had his purse stolen.

Both of them saluted Han Shizi together.

Seeing the disheveled faces of the two, Han Shizi asked lightly, "Why did you come back so early? Who is the person you asked to follow?"

The two looked at each other in dismay, and Sun Feng bit the bullet and cupped his hands in reply: "Follow, lost follow."

"Lost?" Han Shizi was slightly surprised, "You two can still lose someone?"

The two were ashamed.

They are Han Shizi's confidant guards, and they are not small. When they help Han Shizi back and forth, they rarely miss, today they are careless.

"Sun Feng's purse was also stolen." Zheng Hai said.

Sun Feng glared at Zheng Hai: "Didn't I tell you not to mention this?"

The dignified guard of the Han family actually let a thief follow his purse? Would it be embarrassing to say it out?

Sun Feng already understood that the purse was taken by the little girl.

But even so, he and Zheng Hai didn't associate her with the boy he wanted to follow, after all, one was a woman and the other was a man.

Han Shizi gave the two of them a cold look: "Go down and receive the punishment yourself."

"Yes!"

The two saluted and retreated.

Han Yong asked: "Who is so powerful that he dumped all your people?"

Han Shizi said lightly: "A student who came to the country has some abilities and defeated Che'er. I want to see if there is anyone behind him."

"Oh? It turns out that Che'er was injured by a man from the country." Han Yong was annoyed and funny, "Bullying the son of the Han family, isn't this breaking ground on Taisui's head? Few in Sheng have the courage to do this, not Mu The home is the Nangong family."

The Mu family has an old grudge, and the Nangong family is fighting for military power.

Han Shizi looked at the flowers in the garden, stared and said: "He is indeed Mu Qingchen's classmate, but Mu Qingchen will not do this. Mu Qingchen will only come to me if he has something to do, and will not attack Che'er."

Han Yong stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "Then only the Nangong family is left."

Han Shizi frowned slightly: "The Nangong family?"

Han Yong nodded, and said bluntly: "Yes, the Nangong family has always wanted our Black Wind Cavalry, and we have always been greedy for the military power of the Nangong family. It will be a matter of time."

Han Shizi pondered for a moment, and said, "Why do I think it's not the Nangong family?"

Han Yongdao: "Aside from the Nangong family, who else will come to deal with the Han family? The Wang family? The Wang family has no such intentions."

He said, seeing that his nephew was still in deep thought, he smiled lightly and said, "You don't think he has the courage to provoke the Han family, do you? Don't say that he is just a man from the country, he is from the upper class." The son of the Guoshi family has never been able to compete with the entire Han family on his own, as long as he is not crazy, he will not do so."

"Besides, don't you think it's a strange thing that a few students from Zhaoguo came here suddenly? Our academy in Yanguo has never had any students from Zhaoguo."

Han Shizi frowned: "You mean they were found by the Nangong family?"

Han Yong said again: "Do you remember that General Nangong was cut off by the bandits?"

Han Shizi said: "Remember."

Han Yong sneered: "General Nangong didn't go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors at all, but went to Zhaoguo secretly. His arm was not injured by bandits at all. I don't know exactly what happened, but he returned to Shengdu not long ago. These Zhao people came here, do you think it is a coincidence?"

...

After Gu Jiao returned to the house, she told her family about Gu Chengfeng's coming to Shengdu.

Everyone in the family was surprised.

"He didn't have a guide, how did he get here?" Nan Shiniang asked, "It can't be..."

Gu Jiao hummed: "I hit the slave mark."

Master Nan gasped.

The second child of the Gu family was too ruthless. In order to come to Shengdu, he did not hesitate to mark her as a slave. This mark will last her whole life.

"Then is he okay?" Mrs. Nan asked.

Gu Jiao said: "I found a suitable hiding place, and I'm fine for the time being."

"This child..." Mrs. Nan didn't know what to say. The Gu family's children are more stubborn than each other, and they will do whatever they decide to do at all costs. Gu Yan's Gu Jiao.

Now there is another Gu Chengfeng.

But this is not a bad thing for Gu Jiao and Gu Yan, they have no relatives in Shengdu, so it is always good to have more helpers.

Two days later, Gu Jiao went to Yan Shanjun's mansion, the little princess was still afraid of getting on the horse, and Gu Jiao still grabbed the horse unceremoniously, and finished the riding lesson this time amidst a burst of crying.

"The next few days...uh! You don't have to...uh!"

The little princess cried so hard that she hiccupped, and even stopped crying after dismounting, but the hiccups still didn't stop.

"Speak slowly." Gu Jiao said.

"I'm slowly...uh!" The little princess hiccupped again, thinking that it's better to make a long story short in his own state, "I can't go to class...uh! Uncle Jun of our country wants...uh! Birthday...uh! My father is not here...uh! I want to...uh! Go to the banquet for him...uh!"

In fact, there is still some time before His Majesty's uncle's birthday banquet, but she has to move into the palace ahead of time, so she can't go to class for the time being.

This is exactly what Gu Jiao wants, because Gu Jiao is about to prepare for the next shooting match, and there is a high probability that she will not have time to come and teach her.

"Then let's learn how to ride a horse after the little Princess is done."

"Pull the pocket."

The little princess immediately covered her mouth.

She is famous for being eloquent and eloquent, but she is still too young to speak some words very well.

Gu Jiao bent her lips, stretched out her fingers, and didn't mention her pronunciation.

The little princess also stretched out her little finger and hooked Gu Jiao.

The night before the shooting match, Master Wu took Gu Jiao and his party to stay in the same inn as usual.

When Mu Chuan entered the inn, he couldn't help muttering resentfully: "Didn't we win last time? Why are you still staying in such a dilapidated inn?"

Isn't this because of tight budget?

To be honest, the academy did allocate a little more money, but this year's shooting contest was extremely hot, which caused the price of the inn to rise again and again.

Master Wu patted his chest and said, "I promise you, as long as you win this match, I will pay for a better inn for you in the finals!"

Mu Chuan curled his lips, obviously not convinced.

Master Wu looked at the rest of the students, who also looked suspicious.

Master Wu Wanzun said: "What's wrong with this inn? There will be a lantern festival tonight! It's near here! I chose the inn specially! You are allowed to... go shopping for a lantern tonight! Come back before Haishi!"

This is the biggest concession Wu Fuzi can make.

Mu Chuan became interested all of a sudden, and went to Gu Jiao's side, and went upstairs together with Gu Jiao: "Hey, Liu Lang, you haven't visited the Lantern Festival in Shengdu yet, have you?"

"Yes." Gu Jiao stepped upstairs.

Mu Chuan smiled and said, "Go and see later?"

"Okay." Gu Jiao agreed.

Mu Chuan looked back at Mu Qingchen who was behind him: "Fourth brother, are you going? Forget it, you definitely won't go." His fourth brother is not interested in lanterns.

Several people came to the second floor, Mu Qingchen pushed open the door of her room, looked in Gu Jiao's direction: "See you at the door."

Mu Chuan was taken aback, what does fourth brother mean by going?

Long time no see, his fourth brother will also go to the Lantern Festival one day?

Zhao Wei and Yuan Xiao also had nothing to do, and gathered at the door together.

Master Wu even came.

Mu Chuan's smile froze: "Master Wu, what are you doing here?"

Wu Fuzi said seriously: "I thought about it, I'd better be with you, otherwise I don't feel at ease."

Mu Chuan: "..."

Master Wu didn't lie to them about the lantern, it was indeed near the inn, just walk a hundred steps forward and turn a corner.

A whole long street, the lantern market is like a rainbow, bright and colorful, with stalls hanging on both sides of the lanterns, hawkers shouting hard while making lanterns, pedestrians have already poured in, crowded, shoulder to shoulder.

But the streets are busy but not chaotic, noisy but not noisy, crowded but not crowded, orderly.

Not all the lanterns here are bought with silver, there are also lanterns for guessing lantern riddles or reciting poems as endowments.

Gu Jiao likes to be lively.

There is a very novel feeling, just like a child seeing a toy.

Although she is a very quiet person by nature.

"Young master, buy a lantern!"

On the side, an old woman said kindly to Gu Jiao passing by.

Gu Jiao stopped in her tracks, looked at the lantern handed over by the old lady, and blinked curiously.

nice.

Seeing that she liked it, the old lady picked up another one: "This is a new lotus lantern made by my wife. Buy it together. It's ten cents cheaper!"

The lotus lamp is also beautiful.

Gu Jiao's eyes swept away.

Well, there are also peach blossom lanterns, peach blossom lanterns are also beautiful!

Mu Qingchen gave her a strange look: "You don't want to buy a lamp, do you?"

What kind of lantern does a big man buy? Walking around is enough.

Buying is also a gift for a talented man to give a beautiful woman, where is there a man who keeps staring at it?

"Alas." Gu Jiao sighed and touched the peach blossom lantern in front of her. The character design cannot be collapsed, and the lanterns cannot be bought, especially the pink and tender ones.

She reluctantly put the lantern back.

Suddenly, a slender jade-like hand reached over, and the jade-like fingertips clamped a silver nude and placed it on the booth. Immediately, a clean and soft voice sounded from Gu Jiao's side: "This peach blossom lantern, I want it."

Gu Jiao turned her head abruptly.

The other party was wearing a silver mask, covering most of his face, only revealing his soft lips, delicate chin, and those deep eyes.

The night wind was blowing from his side, and the familiar aura on his body enveloped Gu Jiao faintly.

Gu Jiao was stunned for a moment.

Mu Qingchen had a panoramic view of Gu Jiao's reaction, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and he looked vigilantly at the young man who suddenly appeared.

The other party was tall and tall, dressed in a white shirt, and the breeze was better than the snow, and he had an aura of dignity.

Mu Qingchen frowned, he didn't remember that there was such a character among the sons of the aristocratic family in Shengdu.

He was about to tell Gu Jiao to leave, but at this moment, the old man who sold the lanterns hung up some newly made lanterns, but he couldn't stand still and he jumped on the stall, and the lanterns in his hand flew out.

Seeing that it was about to hit Gu Jiao, Mu Qingchen quickly reached out to block the lantern.

And almost at the same moment when he shot, the young man also raised his hand to block the lantern, the difference was that his other hand hugged Gu Jiao to protect him in his arms.

But Gu Jiao didn't resist, she threw herself into his arms obediently.

Whether it was an illusion or something else, her little head still rubbed against the other's chest.

"Are you okay?"

Mu Qingchen heard the other party ask softly.

"fine."

He heard Gu Jiao answer softly.

It wasn't the usual cold or unruly tone, but a feeling he couldn't describe.

Just a moment later, the two separated.

"Thank you, Young Master, for your help." Gu Jiao said politely.

Xiao Heng picked up the peach blossom lantern in his hand, and said in a gentle and elegant manner: "It's a little effort, my little brother and I hit it off right away, so I will give this lantern to my little brother."

"It's better to obey than to be respectful." Gu Jiao took the lantern, "I'll give you one too!"

Xiao Heng smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Gu Jiao bought a pink and tender lotus lantern, which is also her favorite: "Here!"

Mu Qingchen wouldn't want this kind of lantern that only women would like, and he didn't think the other party would either.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Heng accepted it without hesitation, and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you little brother for the lantern, since you and I hit it off and exchanged gifts, why don't we go together."

Mu Qingchen: No way.

"Okay!" Gu Jiao said cheerfully.

There were jugglers in front, and Mu Chuan and the others had already gone to watch the fun.

The three of Mu Qingchen walked unhurriedly on the long street.

Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng were holding a lantern each, and they looked quite right.

But they are all men, Mu Qingchen thought.

"Where is the clearance?" Gu Jiao asked Xiao Heng with her eyes.

Xiao Heng whispered: "I was called to make up lessons by my master."

Mu Qingchen said, "Your Excellency is from Shengdu?"

Xiao Heng's language talent is at the full level, and his accent in Shengdu is smoother than that of the locals.

"Yes." Xiao Heng said.

Mu Qingchen said again: "I don't know your honor and name."

Xiao Heng said: "Long Yi."

Mu Qingchen: What's the name?

Xiao Heng ignored Mu Qingchen's weirdness, and turned to Gu Jiao: "Are you hungry? The dumplings over there are very good."

"Hungry!" Gu Jiao said.

The three of them went to the bean curd stand, found an empty table and sat down, Mu Qingchen and Xiao Heng faced each other.

"I'm not hungry, you eat." Mu Qingchen said, the son of the Su family couldn't eat the food at the roadside stall.

Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng each ordered a bowl of dumplings filled with cabbage and meat.

Then strange things happened again.

Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng stretched out their hands to get the seasoning on the table at the same time, Gu Jiao took the vinegar, Xiao Heng took the chili oil, but Gu Jiao put the vinegar in front of Xiao Heng, Xiao Heng put the chili oil in Gu Jiao's hand.

Mu Qingchen: "..."
