Chapter 247: The Gathering and Dispersion of the Haze
Chapter 247: The Gathering and Dispersion of the Haze
Gu Qingyun returned the salute and left the palace with everyone from the Dali Temple.
Everyone in the Dali Temple was silent for a moment, mainly because they didn't know where to start. Since this morning they felt that today was simply a confusing drama.
Gu Qingyun looked at everyone's expressions, and finally the depressed mood dissipated because of everyone's expressions.
He wasn't the only one suffering, finally.
Gu Qingyun walked back on his own. His brother must have already had lunch and started to drink afternoon tea. He had spent the whole day's rest eating.
Zhao Huaiqing opened his mouth several times but failed to ask his questions. In fact, he wanted to ask a lot of questions, but he didn't know where to start.
In fact, what everyone is most curious about is why those strong men in Guojiazhuang all became eunuchs serving the emperor.
But no matter how curious they were, everyone vaguely felt that this matter had a lot to do with Gu Qingyun. Out of respect for their superiors' privacy and fear that Gu Qingyuan was giving up, no one asked.
Since no one asked, Gu Qingyun naturally had no intention of saying anything.
Anyway, the case of Guojiazhuang can only end here. As for what will happen in the future, we can only talk about it in the future.
Everyone walked side by side in a strange silence, crossed half of Kyoto Prefecture, and arrived at the Kyoto restaurant.
Recently, some people were performing acrobatics on the stage. Miss An always invites a group of people to perform different kinds of art every once in a while.
The types are complex and varied, and there is no fixed form. You may see one today, but you may not see it again until a few months later.
Gu Qingyun looked towards the door and saw his brother as expected.
He walked to his brother's table and asked everyone to sit down.
"Oh, you're back. Just order whatever you want to eat. Miss An said that it will be charged to you." Gu Qingpei boasted.
Gu Qingyun said nastily, "You can accumulate stamps by spending money. If you don't have any, you can't even use the hidden money."
The others were eating steaks, and they thought Gu Qing Pei would be furious, but he said calmly, "I can't eat it, why can't I eat it? I ate it at noon today, and the young lady said that I used your seal."
Gu Qingyun wanted to piss off Gu Qingpei, but unexpectedly, he angered himself instead. He instantly felt like the top of his head was about to explode.
Just then, An Qiao brought up a pot of tea. "Mr. Gu, your white tea."
Gu Qingyun was annoyed, "An Qiao, what do you mean? You gave my seal to my brother. It's my seal."
"Hey, don't be so stingy. It's just a piece of paper. You have so many of them, so what's wrong with giving him one? He has never eaten steak, so he's very pitiful." An Qiao saw that Gu Qingyun was no longer as pale as he was a few days ago, so she didn't need to give in to him anymore.
Gu Qingyun didn't make a fuss even though he was mumbling. What he said did make some sense. He did have a lot of seals, but since he had them, he couldn't abuse them.
Seeing that he didn't fight back, An Qiao took out a glutinous rice cake from her apron and said, "I made it myself this morning. Eat it. Calm down now."
Then he called Qiufen over to order food. Since these people came to eat together, it was impossible for them not to order food.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before Qiufen had filled a whole page with writing.
When they started eating, Zhao Huaiqing took a mouthful of roast duck that was full of oil, and couldn't help asking, "How come those people in Guojiazhuang all became eunuchs?"
Seeing that the first person who lost his temper was Zhao Huaiqing, Gu Qingyun smiled contentedly and lowered his voice so low that only the people in front of him could hear it. "Guojiazhuang has countless medicinal herbs, and there are so-called barefoot doctors in Guojiazhuang. How many of the young princes and princesses in the dynasty are not weak?"
In fact, they were not stupid and could almost guess it, but they were still very uncertain. What if it wasn't the case? What if something else went wrong?
Wu Huan nodded, "So the case is closed here."
Gu Qingyun nodded, "There is no way to file a case at all."
There were uniform sighs at the dinner table. "Our Shaoqing is so angry that he wants to resign. This is really too bad."
Gu Qingyun buried his head in eating. He couldn't leave for the time being. He knew that he could only eat and drink in silence. He hoped that from today on, the cases would not be so difficult for him.
Soon, the whole table was covered with dishes.
"Oh, you guys are really good at eating." Gu Qing Pei said disdainfully while drinking tea, "Fortunately it's not my money you spent."
Gu Qingyun curled his lips, "You are so rich, why are you so stingy every day? You even use your brother's money to eat a meal. Be careful or I will tell grandma when I go back tonight."
"Since you were little you could only tell your grandmother what else you could do, you nasty little brat." Gu Qingpei was speechless. He wished he could pinch Gu Qingyun's ears and make him admit his mistake like he did when they were little.
Now that Gu Qingyun has grown older, it is difficult for him to do anything. He can only pinch Gu Qingyun's leg in hatred.
Several people buried their heads in eating, as if they wanted to eat away all the gloom of the past period of time.
In addition, An Qiao refused when they asked for wine, "My fellow guests, if any of you have adverse reactions to drinking, my suggestion is to take a break for a while and then come to me for wine."
Zhao Huaiqing and Wu Huan looked at each other, wondering who was having an adverse reaction to drinking?
Gu Qingyun didn't dare to show any change in expression at this moment, for fear that the others would look at him.
Then I heard Xin Hai's upright and sincere voice, "Miss An, don't worry. Today I am following Lord Shaoqing, and what happened that day will not happen again. And Lord Shaoqing was in a bad mood a few days ago, I hope Miss An doesn't mind."
At this moment, Gu Qingyun really wanted to sew Xinhai’s mouth shut. He clearly hadn’t intended to embarrass himself, but now, he had embarrassed himself so much that everyone at the tables in front of him knew about it.
Gu Qing Pei also laughed, and laughed extremely excessively, totally disregarding his image as a handsome gentleman, and laughed so hard that he fell backwards.
Gu Qingyun said in a muffled voice, "Xinhai, the young lady said that if we don't sell wine today, we won't drink it, so why are you talking so much today?"
Zhao Huaiqing and Wu Huan both realized that the one who lost his composure after drinking was probably their Shaoqing, but they did not dare to laugh openly. They could only laugh quietly, their faces flushed.
An Qiao felt a sense of pleasure of revenge. Gu Qingyun had been in a bad mood recently, which made everyone a little uneasy, especially her. She felt that she was a big victim.
I was so happy that my revenge was finally achieved.
"If drinking is not allowed, then what are the special dishes for today?" Gu Qingyun tried to save face.
"We are going to launch products related to locust flowers soon, such as tea made from locust flower honey, locust flower fried eggs, locust flower rice..." An Qiao was still laughing, and it was the Autumnal Equinox that was talking.
"When can we eat?" Gu Qingyun's face was now a little red, and he tried hard to change the subject.
"The young lady will only try the food tonight." Qiufen thought for a moment and then said, "By then, you guys will all be full."
The young lady is mischievous, and so are the girls in the shop.
Gu Qingyun thought, it is true, "If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked."
