The rain of flowers sways, falling slowly from the cliff, people and scenery merge into one, like a beautiful picture drawn by famous people who spent their whole life.

Zhang Huaiyu stood in the rain of flowers, raised her head and closed her eyes, smiled at the corners of her mouth, feeling the coolness of the bright red petals falling on her face, and her snow-white clothes stained the petals, like a rainbow in the sky left a color on the earth.

Gu Qing stood quietly beside Zhang Huaiyu, looking at the petals on her head, a rare smile appeared on her face, laughing like a child. She was dressed in white and snow dancing in the rain of bright red petals, like an elf chanting in the mountain stream.

Perhaps, this moment should be the happiest moment in her life, right? Like herself, she has never been treated well by the world.

"Does it look good?" Gu Qing asked with a chuckling.

Zhang Huaiyu nodded happily, with a smile with a little excitement and a little reserve.

"You made it?"

"Well, this is called romance."

“What is 'romance'?”

"The barbarians say that they are arranged beautiful scenery to make women happy." Gu Qing's explanation has always been simple and crude.

Gradually, the rain of flowers became less and less, and finally stopped.

Zhang Huaiyu's expression was suddenly a little disappointed, and he looked up unwillingly at the top of the cliff and said, "Why did you stop?"

Gu Qing smiled awkwardly and said, "It's too hasty, and there are not many petals collected. At this time, there are only plum blossoms. The plum blossoms on the nearby mountains have almost been gleamed by the villagers, and there is only one bit..."

Zhang Huaiyu laughed: "So, are the villagers who just sprinkled petals down?"

"Don't you think God really put a petal rain on you, do you?"

Zhang Huaiyu gave him a blank look and said, "Tell me, it's the sunset again, and the petal rain again, why do you need to arrange these?"

"If you don't dislike me, don't know if you want to be buried in my Gu family..." Gu Qing said that he was usually emergency brake and immediately changed his words: "...It's like this. If you don't dislike me, don't know if you want to marry me?"

Zhang Huaiyu was stunned, and then her cheeks were gradually dyed with red glow, and she turned her face uncomfortably, and her hands that were wrapped in her sleeves trembled slightly.

"You...what are you talking? I can't understand." Zhang Huaiyuqiang said calmly.

Gu Qing was also stunned: "Aren't I talking about human words? I'm asking for a marriage, you marry me and be my wife. I didn't explain anything clearly just now. Tell me, I will help you translate and translate."

Zhang Huaiyu's cheeks were still blushing, but she rolled her eyes secretly.

"You... are so rude, how could you be so reckless about asking for marriage? If you don't have the right to behave properly, it's not right." Zhang Huaiyu blushed and tried to maintain his restrained expression, but his accelerated heartbeat was still uncontrollable.

Gu Qing was shocked: "It's the sunset again, and it's the petal rain again. I asked for a marriage after coaxing you into shaking. How could I be reckless? The atmosphere has clearly laid out its foundation."

Gu Qing said that the atmosphere was well prepared and his rational attitude was very reasonable, but Zhang Huaiyu suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little stiff for some reason.

How do you describe your inner feelings at this moment? The original scene that Gu Qing arranged such a beautiful and picturesque scene moved Zhang Huaiyu. The scene of the golden sunset and the falling petals rain may be deeply imprinted in her mind for the rest of her life and will never be forgotten until death.

But at this moment, Gu Qing suddenly told her the truth, like a Hu trafficker in Dongshi talked to her about how good and cheap his goods were sold. Zhang Huaiyu suddenly felt that she had gone from a dusty peerless pearl to a bundle of leeks sold by pounds on the roadside, and the psychological gap was very huge.

Where did this guy get his skills to destroy the good atmosphere in an instant.

Obviously, Zhang Huaiyu underestimated Gu Qing's ability to destroy the atmosphere.

It was not over yet. Seeing that Zhang Huaiyu was silent for a long time, Gu Qing seemed to suddenly think of something. He took out a bunch of fragments from his arms, including the dagger that Zhang Huaiyu gave him, some snacks such as dried fruit jerky, and a large piece of silver cake. Gu Qing frowned and picked it out for a moment, and gritted his teeth and handed her the silver cake of about ten taels to her.

Zhang Huaiyu was stunned and stood still.

"Hold it, the token of love." Gu Qing said frivolously.

"You call this thing a token of love?" Zhang Huaiyu's three views were shattered.

"It is the most valuable thing on me. I can't give you a piece of dried fruit, right? That would be too rude and easy to get moldy and spoil." Gu Qing looked serious.

For some reason, Gu Qing felt that his image was very grand at this moment. In the TV series in his previous life, the domineering president released a bank card with ease and handed it to his beloved woman heroically, asking her to do whatever she wanted. Although the plot was bloody, it was very pleasant to use it.

Today is too hasty, and next time I prepare more and fill a box of silver cakes to give to her. I am very excited to see Zhang Huaiyu looking at herself with admiration like a mentally retarded girl. That scene may be more shocking than the rain in the sky.

Therefore, romance is worse than waste.

Zhang Huaiyu was stunned for a while, holding her forehead and moaned: "I... the wound hurts a little, I need to go down the mountain to recuperate."

"Okay, I'll send you down. Slowly, accept the token of love first. When do you think the wedding date is appropriate? I'll listen to you."

Zhang Huaiyu hesitated for a long time, and his expression was hesitant.

她犹豫的不是要不要嫁给顾青,而是犹豫要不要揍他.

In fact, Gu Qing was already very moved when she arranged all this with great thoughts today.

Although Gu Qing's performance later collapsed, Zhang Huaiyu was always patient. The happy scene of Hua Petal Rain just now still made her feel deeply and could not extricate herself for a long time.

But Gu Qing's confident look was very annoying. She seemed to be sure that she had no choice but to marry him, especially when she treated the silver cake as a token of love, without any words from the matchmaker, and without permission from her parents, she urged her, the client to ask when she would get married. It was so rude that she was so rude.

So, should I beat it up?

Just now, the petal rain stopped and immediately ran down the mountain. It would be great not to listen to him say nonsense. At least in my memory, there were only bright red petals flying all over the sky. There was a handsome young man standing under the cherry blossom tree, looking at her with a gentle look... The picture was perfect without any flaws.

Now, there are too many flaws.

The more he recalled the Petal Rain just now, the more angry Zhang Huaiyu felt, and deeply hated Gu Qing for making everything and destroying everything.

After gritting his teeth, Zhang Huaiyu decided to endure it.

The most unforgettable scene in this life appears today. I believe today is the auspicious day of the zodiac. It is not advisable to have rash thoughts on the auspicious day of the zodiac.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Huaiyu said, "I, I... don't want to marry you."

Gu Qing was stunned and looked at her in disbelief: "Did you reject me?"

Zhang Huaiyu said with a straight face: "Yes."

“Why?”

Zhang Huaiyu said quietly: "Gu Qing, I know your intention, but I have not seen your intention."

Gu Qing blurted out: "I treat you..."

Zhang Huaiyu suddenly interrupted him and said, "Gu Qing, don't talk now."

“Why?”

“It’s not the time.”

“When is the time?”

Zhang Huaiyu stared at him with clear eyes and said slowly: "Gu Qing, if you are a mediocre and ordinary man, I will promise you today. But you are destined not to be ordinary, so I want you to marry me upright as a prince in the future."

"If you are my destined person, then just treat it as a way to do something for me. Become a marquis and generals, hold authority, and lay a flat and smooth road for the people. Such a great hero can make me Zhang Huaiyu willing to give birth to children and take care of his husband and children for his whole life."

"Gu Qing, I know you have ambitions. Since I met you, I have also had ambitions. My ambition is to help you realize your ambitions. If you can promise me, I am willing to wait for you. I will wait for many years until I die."

…………

Three days later, Gu Qing, Li Shierniang and others left Shiqiao Village and set out on the way back to Chang'an.

Feng Aweng led the villagers to see him off and sent him to Qingcheng County before he reluctantly returned.

As usual, Zhang Huaiyu did not send him away, and she didn't even leave the door.

When Gu Qing and others left the entrance of the village, Zhang Huaiyu was still sitting under the eaves, listening to the movement outside, playing with a ten-two silver cake in his hand in confusion.

Her eyes were red, and Zhang Huaiyu wanted to cry very much, and she wanted to rush out the door desperately, ask Gu Qing to take her away, and then tell him what the status of a prince and a glory of marriage is actually nothing important.

The so-called conditions are just an inspiration to urge the man to move forward. What she wants is not a prince’s wife, but a man’s long-term life.

Xiu'er hurriedly ran in and saw Zhang Huaiyu sitting under the eaves in a daze. Xiu'er stamped her feet in a hurry: "Brother Gu is leaving, why haven't you gone out to see him yet? You should go with him!"

Zhang Huaiyu came back to his senses and smiled sadly: "I can't see him."

“Why?”

"I am afraid that the love of my children will suck his will, and I am afraid that it will be his burden. I cannot help him in the officialdom, but he should be like a lonely wolf, fighting and biting with others without any worries, and realizing his ambition step by step. Therefore, when I go to Chang'an, I should not be by his side."

"Besides, I can't give up here either. Shiqiao Village is his only way out. I want to help him guard it."

…………

Gu Qing and Li Shierniang rode on the same carriage. The two of them had not healed yet, so they could only ride in the carriage.

The carriage was covered with thick mattresses to slow down the bumps and vibrations as much as possible. Gu Qing lay on the mattress, and Li Shierniang sat cross-legged.

Gu Qing was in a bad mood and was taciturn all the way. Li Shierniang ignored him. The two remained quiet all the way from Qingcheng County to Bazhou.

After finding an inn for a night of rest, Gu Qing continued to set off the next day, but he still said nothing.

Li Shierniang couldn't stand it anymore and sighed: "Huaiyu did not reject you. She was inspiring you. Can't you see it?"

Gu Qing said listlessly: "Of course I can see that, but her requirements are too high, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to meet it."

"Is the title of a prince very high? "Li Shierniang smiled in her eyes: "For you, I don't think it's high. You may be able to achieve it in one or two years."

Gu Qing looked at her in surprise: "Auntie Li, who gave you the confidence that you are so confident in me. Since Emperor Gaozong, it is so difficult to be a marquis in the Tang Dynasty. After Kaiyuan, the emperor has deliberately or unintentionally reduced many titles. Many descendants of founding dukes and marquis have decreased with generations of titles. After all, they have only official positions and no titles. The emperor has such strict titles, how could I do it?"

Li Shierniang said leisurely: "I still say the same thing. For you, it is not difficult to be a marquis. You are a person with great luck. What others cannot do does not mean you cannot do it."

Gu Qing sighed helplessly: "I will try my best. If I cannot be a marquis in this life, I will only live alone to die."

Li Shierniang looked at him with a funny look: "How long have you liked Huaiyu?"

Gu Qing thought for a while and said, "Soon after, I returned to Qingcheng County this time and found out that I liked her."

"I have known each other for so long, why did I fall in love with her this time when I came back?"
