After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

Chapter 240: Speaking of Heart (11)

When Gu Chang arrived outside the Lingsi Pavilion, it was already noon.

The sun was scorching in the afternoon, and even the wind was warm.

Even so, there are still many guests coming in and out of Lingsi Pavilion.

Gu Chang did not get off the carriage immediately. He just lifted the curtain and looked towards the gate of Lingsi Pavilion. Seeing that there were many guests coming and going in the pavilion, Gu Chang thought about coming back at dinner time, when there should be fewer people.

Gu Chang thought of Master Wuya from Guangyuan Temple whom Tu Weizhi had mentioned before, and felt that it would be a nice idea to meet this Master Wuya.

Just as Gu Chang was about to ask Mingtang to go to Guangyuan Temple first, he heard a familiar voice.

"Mr. Gu, you are here now, why are you leaving?" Qiao'er, wearing a water-green dress, walked out of Lingsi Pavilion with a smile on her face. She looked very different from the first time Gu Chang saw her.

"There are many guests here, so my young master won't go in." Mingtang was sitting outside the car door. He tilted his head slightly and said with a smile.

"So that's how it is. Mr. Gu, the shopkeeper of my family said that if he sees you coming to Lingsi Pavilion, he will definitely invite you." Qiao'er spoke eloquently, and there was a cleverness in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Looking at the completely different Qiao'er, Gu Chang couldn't help but ask her, "Do you know what kind of clothes are suitable for the Deer Hunting Festival?"

Qiao'er's eyes lit up. "Sir, are you going to participate in the Deer Hunting Festival? What a coincidence! Lingsi Pavilion has recently received many new styles of robes. You can come and try them out. I guarantee that you won't end up wearing the same clothes as other young masters."

"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Qiao'er." After saying this, Gu Chang lowered the curtain and got off the carriage.

"Master Gu, what are you talking about? This is what Qiao'er should do. Besides, Qiao'er has offended me before. I hope Master Gu can give Qiao'er another chance." After being severely reprimanded by Zhang Lingyan, Qiao'er finally realized that it was her own arrogance that led her to do the wrong thing.

Now Gu Chang came to Lingsi Pavilion again, and this time she was the one to receive him. Qiao Er secretly made up her mind to perform well this time.

"No problem." Gu Chang didn't care much about this matter. After all, there were many such things in his original world.

Mingtang followed Gu Chang with a smile on his face and entered the Lingsi Pavilion with Gu Chang.

This time, Qiao'er brought Gu Chang to the private room on the second floor, then turned around and went downstairs. When she went upstairs again, she was holding a round-necked robe in her hand. Behind her were several maids, each holding a plate with clothes on it.

Gu Chang picked out two men's items and asked Qiao'er to get the women's items.

Mingtang felt that he should buy more, so he said, "Sir, how about buying two more sets, in case of an emergency and you need to change clothes?"

Mingtang's words reminded Gu Chang. Gu Chang thought that if the heroine was also in the Qiongshan hunting ground, many accidents would happen. After all, the forest was so big, it would be easy to cause trouble.

"Then buy three more sets." Gu Chang waved his hand. After all, he now has the funds provided by Murong Heng, so it’s okay to borrow them first.

The system gritted its teeth secretly. It was clearly supposed to say these lines, but how come they were all snatched away by this Mingtang?

In the end, Gu Chang bought six robes, and Qiao'er also gave Gu Chang a new style men's robe as a gift.

You don’t need to take the things you bought away with you, Lingsi Pavilion has a special door-to-door delivery service.

Gu Chang was quite surprised that the goods were delivered to his door at this time.

However, seeing Mingtang's expression when he heard about door-to-door delivery, it was clear that he was used to it. Gu Chang didn't ask about it. If he did, wouldn't that reveal that he wasn't a local?

When Gu Chang and Mingtang were leaving Lingsi Pavilion, they happened to meet Nie Qingxue and Nie Huaili who were walking towards the gate of Lingsi Pavilion.

Both wore pale pink dresses with ruffled hems and had their hair styled in similar buns. The only difference was that Nie Huaili was half a head shorter than Nie Qingxue. Although they had similar temperaments, upon closer inspection, one could still tell the difference.

"Mr. Gu." Nie Qingxue spoke in surprise when she saw Gu Chang.

Nie Qingxue went shopping today when Aunt Chen told Nie Qianyuan in front of her that sisters should be close and inseparable. Nie Qianyuan was already annoyed by the fight between her and Nie Huaili. If she rejected Aunt Chen in front of him, Nie Qianyuan would definitely lose his temper, and the target of his anger would be Nie Qingxue.

She had always disliked Nie Huaili following her, and that morning, she'd walked around Yixin Lake several times, but Nie Huaili refused to leave. Nie Qingxue was so angry she skipped lunch, her mind filled with the thought of Nie Huaili leaving. Then, Nie Qingxue remembered the upcoming Deer Hunting Festival, where Nie Xuanyuan would take both her and Nie Huaili to the Qiongshan Hunting Grounds.

Nie Qingxue had already had her horseback riding gear prepared, something Nie Huaili didn't know about. So Nie Qingxue had originally planned to take Nie Huaili to the Lingsi Pavilion and quietly leave when she was lost in her shopping spree.

But Nie Qingxue changed her mind when she saw Gu Chang. She also thought of what Prince Duan Tu Weizhi had said to her, that he had invited Gu Guiyan, who had just arrived in Tiandu City, to participate in the Deer Hunting Festival.

Nie Qingxue also asked Tu Weizhi why he invited Gu Guiyan, and the answer she got was that she, Nie Qingxue, liked this type of man.

Tu Weizhi also said: He hopes Nie Qingxue can forgive him because he found a man for her.

Listen, is this what people say?

But Nie Qingxue had to admit that Tu Weizhi's action touched her heart.

When Nie Huaili saw Gu Chang, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The last person who amazed her was Prince Duan Tu Weizhi.

Nie Huaili pursed her lips, her eyes curving slightly downwards. If she frowned even slightly, she would look pitiful. "Sister, whose son is this? Li'er has never heard you mention this before."

Nie Qingxue tried hard to suppress the urge to roll her eyes and said calmly, "Mr. Gu, this is Xue'er's half-sister, Huaili." Nie Qingxue emphasized the word "half-sister" deliberately. Then she smiled slightly, turned her head to Nie Huaili and said, "Sister, this is Mr. Gu from Sangluo City."

"It's Mr. Gu. Li'er meets Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu just came out of Lingsi Pavilion. Did he buy anything?" Nie Huaili held Nie Qingxue's arm. She noticed that her arm became stiff, so she deepened the smile on her lips.

"It's just some clothes." Gu Changchang saw the tension between the two people in front of him becoming stronger, and he subconsciously didn't want to get involved.

Mingtang was standing behind Gu Chang. He lowered his head slightly, but was actually secretly observing the differences between the two young ladies of the Nie family.

"Let's talk for a moment, Mr. Gu. How about we go to Xiaoyao Teahouse?" Nie Qingxue suggested softly.

A voice softer and more charming than hers rang out, "Yes, Master Gu, the sun is scorching, and a cup of herbal tea is the best way to cool down. However, Xiaoyao Teahouse mostly serves hot tea, and I always like hot tea, especially with scholars and other scholars. Besides, hot tea isn't very suitable for drinking right now. Li'er does know of a restaurant that serves the best herbal tea."

Nie Qingxue, “…”

Gu Chang, “…”

System: I finally saw the real plot in the original story.
