Chapter 174: Coming to the door

Gu Huayu didn't expect that Li Tao still cared about etiquette. She originally wanted to tell him that the adults at home were not here, but then she thought that it would be boring at home, so she simply went out for a walk.

"Okay. Just wait a moment. I'll go change my clothes and come back."

Gu Huayu changed her clothes and came out to meet Gu Chengjuan.

Gu Chengjuan asked: "Xiaoyu, are you going out?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "Well, I have to go out."

Gu Chengjuan said hurriedly: "You promised me to visit the shop today. Also, you promised to make a new fragrance today. You can't fail to keep your promise."

Gu Huayu said as she walked: "I'll leave the business of the shop to Su Er. You can go with him. As for the new fragrance, I have already mixed it. The recipe is on the desk. You can follow the steps above." That’s it. If you don’t understand anything, ask me again when I come back.”

As soon as Gu Chengjuan heard that the recipe came out, she said happily: "I know, go ahead and have fun. Remember to bring me some delicious food when you come back."

Gu Huayu nodded in agreement, "I understand."

Gu Huayu went to the door and said to Li Tao, "Let's go."

Li Tao saw Gu Huayu coming out alone and asked, "Are you alone?"

Gu Huayu replied: "Otherwise? Are you going to bring a group of maids and women?"

Li Tao smiled and said: "What, whose lady doesn't have a few maids around her?"

"I'm used to going out alone and walking alone. Where are we going?" Gu Huayu replied and asked casually.

Li Tao handed the reins to Kuanzi and said: "Take the horse back, there is no need to follow."

Kuanzi took the reins and looked at Li Tao awkwardly, "Second Master!"

Li Tao frowned and said, "Don't you understand?"

Kuanzi bowed and said, "Young master, I understand." But he stood still, thinking about how to explain to the uncle when he went back. The uncle asked him to keep an eye on the second master at all times, and he was not allowed to cause trouble outside.

With a troubled expression, Gu Huayu said to Li Tao: "Let him follow. If anything happens, it would be good to have an errand boy."

Li Tao thought about it and said to Kuanzi, "Then follow."

Kuanzi let out a long breath of relief, bowed to Gu Huayu and thanked her, "Thank you, Miss Gu."

Gu Huayu nodded at Kuanzi and asked Li Tao, "Where are we going?"

Li Tao looked around, and then said: "How about we go to Fanlou? The peonies in his garden are in full bloom. Let's go and enjoy the flowers, and then have lunch at his house."

 Let me tell you, his Dangtou skill is absolutely amazing at making water mats. "

Li Tao spoke with great emotion and emotion, making it difficult to refuse.

Gu Huayu nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'm not familiar with the capital, so I'll let you arrange it. Is Fan Tower far from here?"

Li Tao walked up to Gu Huayu and said, "It's not far. Let's walk there in about two-quarters of an hour."

"Let's go then. Which way to go? You lead the way." Gu Huayu said.

Li Tao bowed slightly, smiled and said politely: "Miss Gu, please come this way."

Gu Huayu looked at Li Tao who was a little shy, smiled, and walked to the right.

Ruxuan looked at the three people leaving, turned to the carriage and said, "Sir, we seem to be late. Doctor Gu went out with Mr. Li."

 Lu Ziqin opened the curtain and looked at the two people talking and laughing in front of them. He cast his eyes on the blue back of the clear sky, and seemed to be in a daze.

 Four years without seeing each other, the little girl has grown taller...

 Ruxuan asked: "Sir, where should we go next?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Ruxuan wanted to give him a mouthful. In order to find the person in front of him, his father had traveled all over Daxing. Now that the person is right in front of me, I still ask where to go?

 Ruxuan immediately changed his words and said, "Sir, can I please stop Doctor Gu?"

Lu Ziqin came to his senses, put down the curtain, and said: "No, follow, stay away, don't let anyone find you."

 Ruxuan bowed and responded, "Okay, I understand."

 Gu Huayu walked for a short distance and felt someone following behind her. She stopped and turned around to look over.

-

Li Tao saw her stop and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Li Tao looked at the carriage and asked, "Gu Xiaoyu, who is this?"

Gu Huayu smiled and said nothing. When she saw Ruxuan, that face that was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away immediately came to mind. Inexplicably, she felt a little expectant and a little excited in her heart.

Seeing Gu Huayu stop, Ruxuan turned around and said, "Sir, Doctor Gu seems to have discovered us."

Lu Ziqin lifted the curtain and looked over, seeing the slim Gu Huayu standing in front, looking at him with a smile.

Lu Ziqin was in a trance for a while. This situation and scene seemed like he was in a dream, and he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.

 Ruxuan stopped the car and shouted in a low voice: "Master!"

Lu Ziqin came to his senses, got out of the car and walked towards Gu Huayu. The little girl had really grown much taller.

When Lu Ziqin got off the car, Li Tao recognized him immediately and shouted in surprise: "Lu Liu, aren't you in the capital? When did you come back? By the way, you two know each other?"

Gu Huayu looked at Lu Ziqin in surprise. He was not in the capital, and he had just returned to the capital?

Li Tao looked at Lu Ziqin and then at Gu Huayu.

Gu Huayu looked at Lu Ziqin. She hadn't seen him for several years. The childishness on his face had faded away, and he looked calmer, more steady, and cooler.

Lu Ziqin bowed his hands to Li Tao in greeting.

Li Tao quickly returned the gift. Then he asked again: "Sixth Master, when did you return to Beijing?"

 Lv Ziqin said: "A few days ago."

Li Tao looked at Lu Ziqin, then at Gu Huayu, and asked, "You two returned to Beijing together, right?"

Lu Ziqin did not reply, but asked: "Where are you going?"

Li Tao replied: "Go to the Fan Tower on Qinghui Bridge to see the peonies. Do you have time for Mr. Liu? Together?"

Li Tao only knew that Lu Ziqin was passing by. He asked politely and then waited for Lu Ziqin to refuse.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ziqin nodded and said, "Let's go together."

Li Tao looked at Lu Ziqin in surprise and asked, "Are you really going? No, I mean Mr. Lu Liu has free time?"

 Lv Ziqin nodded, "Yeah."

Li Tao secretly blames himself for talking too much. It's fine. Why do you ask him if he has too much time?

Gu Huayu took two steps forward, and when she saw that Li Tao hadn't followed, she turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Tao said: "Nothing, let's go."

Li Tao followed and walked between Gu Huayu and Lu Ziqin. Asked: "When did you two meet?"

Lu Ziqin didn’t reply and just walked forward silently.

Gu Huayu replied: "Many years?"

"Many years? It can't be earlier than we have known each other, right?" Li Tao asked.

Lu Ziqin walked to Gu Huayu's right side calmly.

“Yes, I got to know Brother Qingyan first, and I got to know you later.” Gu Huayu replied truthfully.

"What? We have known each other earlier than that? We have known each other for four years." Li Tao said in surprise, gesturing with his fingers as he spoke.

Gu Huayu turned her head to look at Lu Ziqin and asked tentatively: "Brother Qingyan, are you here to look for me?"

 Lv Ziqin nodded and responded: "Yes."

The inexplicable joy in Gu Huayu's heart became even stronger, and she then asked: "Did you know that I came to the capital?"

Lu Ziqin nodded again, "Yeah."

Gu Huayu asked: "What do you want from me?"

 Lv Ziqin said: "There is no hurry."

 “Oh.” Gu Huayu asked no more questions.

Seeing the two of them stop, Li Tao said: "Yesterday, my brother and Fourth Master Jiang were talking about Master Six, saying they didn't know where Master Six was? When did he return to Beijing? Master Six came back quietly, and everyone was Don’t you know?”

“I have sent a message to Brother Ling this morning. Let’s see when Brother Ling is free. Let’s get together then.”

Lu Ziqin stopped and looked forward with a slight frown.

Gu Huayu saw Lu Ziqin stop, and then stopped and followed Lu Ziqin's gaze.

 Across the street, a man in sky blue was running in front, looking behind him as he ran.

Behind him, a man in apricot and purple brocade clothes was holding a whip, chasing and cursing: "Wan Changrui, you'd better not let me catch you, otherwise, I will make you peel off your skin."

Gu Huayu asked: "Know?"

Lu Ziqin did not reply, but turned to look at Ruxuan.

 Ruxuan nodded knowingly and threw the reins in his hand to Kuanzi.

Kuanzi took the reins and said, "Here, the younger one is holding the horse..."

Before Kuanzi could finish speaking, Ruxuan said, "Just for a moment." As he said that, Ruxuan had already walked quickly to the young man in apricot and purple brocade clothes, raised his foot and tripped the brocade-clothed man to the ground.

The man in brocade clothes got up from the ground, held up the hair crown on his head, and cursed: "You **** thing, you don't have eyes."

Ruxuan stretched out his leg and hooked the whip beside the man in brocade clothes. The man in brocade clothes got his foot caught again. He staggered forward two steps, his center of gravity was unsteady and he fell again.

Li Tao saw Ruxuan dealing with Wan Changfan, turned around and asked, "Did Wan Changfan offend you?"

Lu Ziqin shook his head and replied: "No."

Li Tao turned to look at the embarrassed Wan Changfan, "Then why are you asking people to embarrass him?"

Lu Ziqin said calmly: "It's nothing, I don't like it, I just want to teach him a lesson."

“Yo! Mr. Lu Liu has returned from traveling for several years and has become very old-fashioned.” Li Tao mocked.

Gu Huayu looked at the man in azure clothes a few feet away and asked, "Who is that person?"

Li Tao followed Gu Huayu's gaze and said, "Wan Changrui, the third young master of Wan Mansion. The man who chased and beat him just now is his second brother."

 “His second brother?” Gu Huayu asked.

 Li Tao explained: “I’m not my second brother anymore.

 Wanjia’s affairs are complicated. Let's put it this way, Wan Changfan's grandfather Wan Yunshu had two wives, and his first wife was Wan Changrui's grandmother Mrs. Ping.

Mrs. Ping gave birth to a son and a daughter. Unfortunately, both sons and daughters died.

Wan Changfan's grandmother, Mrs. Shen, married into the Wan family as a common wife and gave birth to three sons and one daughter.

Wan Changfan is the second son of Mrs. Shen’s eldest son, Wan Hanjie.

Under the same roof, different grandmothers are like different mother -in -law, and the house fights in the backyard. "

Wan Changfan got up from the ground, still cursing, and when he saw the boy coming forward, he scolded him: "Are you guys dead? Seeing me being bullied, what are you doing to support a bunch of losers like you?" Won’t you call me back?”

One of the young men had the courage to remind: "Second Master, look over there."

"I asked you to hit someone, but you show me..." Wan Changfan turned his head and looked over, and saw Li Tao with his mouth open and unable to make a sound.

 “He seems to be very afraid of you!” Gu Huayu said.

 Lv Ziqin took over the words, "He is the devil incarnate!"

Li Tao looked at Lu Ziqin and said, "I'm obviously your person..."

Lu Ziqin didn’t wait for him to finish speaking, “Today I am raising the banner of Young Master Li.”

Li Tao lowered the corner of his mouth and said, "Well, who knows how famous I am? It's just these fools who treat me as a boss.

As he spoke, Wan Changfan had already walked up to him and bowed his head to greet Li Tao. "Second Master Li, I'm from Wanfu..."

Li Tao waved his hand to interrupt Wan Changfan's words, and said with a stern face: "I know you are from Wanfu, brothers and sisters, you, the elder brother, should act like an elder brother, chase your younger brother on the street "Hit, what's the word?"

Wan Changfan nodded repeatedly, "Second Master taught me a lesson, I'll write it down, and I'll try to reason with Third Brother in the future."

Lu Ziqin took the words and said, "Do you understand the truth? You can still be reasonable."

Li Tao looked at Lu Ziqin and saw that he was protecting Wan Changrui, so he said to Wan Changfan: "That's right, what do you know? Stay away from Wan Changrui in the future. If I know that you bully him, don't blame me. No mercy."

Wan Changfan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, please remember, stay away from that guy...stay away from Changfan."

Li Tao waved his hand and said, "Go. We have something else to do, let's go."

 “Well done, Second Master!” Wan Changfan bowed respectfully and said.

Gu Huayu walked forward for a while, turned around and looked at Wan Changfan, and saw that this man was still standing where he was. Seeing her looking over, he immediately lowered his head.

Gu Huayu asked: "Why is he so afraid of you?"

Li Tao looked back at Wan Changfan and said, "He has suffered losses in my hands."

 Gu Huayu became interested, "Tell me, what kind of disadvantage did he suffer? Judging from his appearance, he should be older than you. How did you deal with him?"

Li Tao glanced at Gu Huayu, raised his eyebrows, and said in appreciation: "Yes, I have good eyesight. Wan Changfan is the same age as my brother, three years older than me."

Gu Huayu turned around and walked backwards, raised her chin, and asked, "How did you deal with him?"

Li Tao secretly glanced at Lu Ziqin and saw that Lu Ziqin was not looking at him. He turned to look at Gu Huayu and said, "It all happened when I was a child, about seven or eight years ago.

Wanfu and Lifu are both in the south of the city, separated by three streets. Are you a boy? He's a bit naughty and likes to play outside.

 Wan Changfan is older than me, and he has many brothers. The Wan family brothers usually go out together and go in together. "

Li Tao explained, and then said: "We all play together. Wan Changfan makes people listen to him. If they don't listen to him, his brothers will beat them.

The children in that area are all afraid of the brothers from the Wan family, but I am a thorn in the side. If you want me to listen to you, yes, you have to convince me. If you don’t convince me, I won’t listen to you.

When the Wan family brothers saw that I didn't listen to them, they thought of ways to deal with me. "

Gu Huayu asked curiously: "How old were you at that time? Can you beat them?"

Li Tao shook his head, "Are you kidding? There are only five brothers from the Wan family, plus the concubines, there are more than ten brothers. How can we win?"

"Then how did you deal with them? Did you ask your followers to help you fight them?" Gu Huayu became more and more curious.

"Tch!" Li Tao snorted coldly, "Who doesn't have any followers? If you want others to obey you, you have to do it yourself."

　　"You're going to do it yourself? One person can take down a dozen of them?"

Li Tao looked at Gu Huayu and reminded: "Walk carefully, be careful not to fall."

"It's okay, I know, go on." Gu Huayu turned around and walked side by side with Li Tao and Lu Ziqin.
