The three Gu took the car to Yin's house together, and met Yang Rongan and his wife and Yang Longxing's carriage on the road, they greeted each other, said a few words, and were about to move forward together, but Gu Qinghuan got out of the carriage, only saying that there was something to discuss with Yang Rongan alone, and let the carriage of the two families go first.

Yang Rongan got out of the car and just spoke: "Qinghuan, what's wrong...... a punch came up and smashed it in his face.

Gu Qinghuan didn't say anything, and when he was knocked down, he was beaten inexplicably, and Yang Rong'an had a blue nose and swollen face, and he couldn't resist.

Jiang Xiange felt that something was wrong, and when she looked back from the carriage, she saw that the two of them were fighting on the street, and hurriedly asked people to turn the carriage, and she rushed back to pull the fight to stop them from scuffling together.

"Qinghuan, Qinghuan, stop it! don't hit him!"

Gu Qinghuan pushed Yang Rong'an to death, kept punching Yang Rong'an's face, the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, and he was indignant, looking at Jiang Xiange who rushed over, his heart was even more angry, pointing at her and yelling at Yang Rongan: "Didn't you say that you were infatuated with her? Didn't you say that you love her? How dare you bear her?"

Yang Rongan had been beaten by him to vomit blood, Jiang Xiange was extremely panicked, and kept pushing Gu Qinghuan to the side to prevent him from committing violence again, but Gu Qinghuan just didn't give in. She couldn't, in a hurry, she pushed Gu Qinghuan violently, pushed him to the ground, and took advantage of the situation to cover Yang Rongan, "Qinghuan! You don't want this! I don't need you to help me get angry like this, I'm fine, I'm not wronged! Don't mess around, okay? Don't worry about my family's affairs anymore!"

The words she blurted out unconsciously were like a scoop of cold water pouring down from the top of Gu Qinghuan's head, making Gu Qinghuan feel cold in an instant, and he still had qi in his heart, but at this time, he didn't know where to go.

He sat on the ground, pressed his chest and gasped, stubbornly not looking away, not looking at Jiang Xiange's considerate care of Yang Rong'an.

Yes, she is his wife, so what is she? Why should she take care of other people's affairs?

Jiang Xiange was worried about Yang Rongan's injury, so he hurriedly picked him up from the ground with his entourage and took him to the doctor.

Later, the chaotic Yang family left, and before he knew it, there was only Gu Qinghuan left on the side of the street, he had been sitting on the side of the road with people coming and going, and he was busy with passers-by for nine long years......

He stood up on the ground, dusted off the soil on his body, his bright and solemn official uniform was torn crookedly during the fight, and his face was still a little bruised, not as serious as Yang Rong'an's injury, and he was also embarrassed, and the passers-by around him looked at him with strange eyes, his carriage had already gone away, and he couldn't continue to go to Yin's mansion like this......

He didn't think about it, he just hung his head and turned to walk back.

After walking ten steps, he was blocked by someone, and almost collided with the man, with his head down, he only saw a pair of embroidered shoes on the ground, and while walking to the side, he subconsciously said: "Sorry, I offended the girl......" The voice was weak.

As soon as he bypassed, a Qianqian arm raised and stopped him again: "It's quite offensive, but ...... I forgive you. ”

Hearing this familiar voice, he finally raised his head.

Only then did I find that it was He Luoke standing in front of him.

He looked to the side, there was a carriage parked, and He Shi'an was coming out of the canopy of the carriage. It seems that they also went to Yinfu to mourn.

I haven't seen him for a long time, and after experiencing the previous incident, he didn't know how to speak for a while.

It is normal that he can't speak, but the strange thing is that He Luoke is also at a loss and stunned.

After a while, she saw that his face was wrong, as if she was in pain, and then she found the words: "What's wrong with you?"

Gu Qinghuan pointed to his heart and said, "It hurts ...... here."

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, He Luoke deliberately joked: "Yo, who broke your heart?"

Gu Qinghuan shook his head, reached out and took out the small jade bottle from his neckline and shook it in front of her, "It's this." ”

He Luoke looked at this vial that he was familiar with, and he lost his mind for a while.

Gu Qinghuan continued: "It's just here, it hurts...... Sure enough, you can't wear ...... all the time."

He Luoke pouted, his face turned, and he pretended not to care: "Hmph, if you don't think about it, you just threw it away, why embarrass yourself to wear it?"

Gu Qinghuan was amused by her like this, and said, "It's not that I dislike it, it's just that my sister said that I should change the sachet to fill the medicine, or tie this small pot with tassels as an accessory......"

When He Luoke heard this, his face was not good again, and he stretched out his hand and pulled out a small saber out of nowhere, and the sharp blade flashed in front of Gu Qinghuan's eyes, making him break out in a cold sweat.

With the knife in her hand, she neatly cut the red rope around his neck and removed the small jade bottle, which had little pill left. She said with a cold face: "Since you don't need it anymore, I'll take it back." ”

Gu Qinghuan couldn't figure out where she got her anger, and was about to explain, she jumped into the carriage and urged He Shi'an to go straight.

He Shi'an couldn't take her, but he didn't leave in a hurry, but stepped forward politely, and saluted Gu Qinghuan with his hand: "I've seen the adult, is the adult okay?"

Their brother and sister Fang had seen Gu Qinghuan and Yang Rongan fight, and the reason why they got out of the car was to take care of Gu Qinghuan's situation, who thought that He Luoke had made an awkward scene before he could say anything, so he had to come and inquire.

Gu Qinghuan returned the salute, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I'm not injured." It's you...... Shi'an, since you still call me Lord, you should go back to the bureau to be my subordinate......"

Hearing him say this, He Shi'an was a little surprised, he thought that because of the previous request for medicine, they had offended the Gu family, and his official position was also ruined, but he never thought that Gu Qinghuan didn't mind: "Can I go back?"

Gu Qinghuan smiled casually: "Of course, you are still an official official of the imperial court, why can't you go back?" If you feel better, you should return to the office as soon as possible, the future should not be sloppy, and this is the time for the Ministry of Officials to employ people." ”

He Shixin had mixed feelings, and couldn't help but attach another salute to Gu Qinghuan, and said, "I understand my humble position, thank you for mentioning it." ”

Seeing him like this, Gu Qinghuan felt relieved, and his mood was a little brighter, nodding and smiling at him.

Thinking of the others, He Shi'an hesitated for a while, and said sincerely: "The matter of the county lord...... Our family is very sorry...... Later, we all figured out that it turned out that Ruodan really couldn't cure Ruodan's disease, and she told us like that she was just comforting us and not worrying about her condition...... In fact, she already knew...... Unable to return to heaven...... In fact, during this period of time, we all blamed ourselves, we shouldn't have stopped like that in the first place, and delayed the county lord, what a sin...... Luoke also felt very uncomfortable after accepting the facts, but you know her temperament, and I don't know how to talk to you about it......"

Gu Qinghuan patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Okay, it's all over, it doesn't matter who is right or wrong, Si Ren has passed away, this is also fate, you have lost your beloved wife and relatives, think of the young lady...... Eh, don't we feel sorry for you too? My father and I are looking down on that, but my sister is still hard to let go...... I think she'll put it down in the future. You tell Luoke, we don't blame you, let alone her, she doesn't have to be sad. ”

He Shi'an was a little relieved, nodded, and Gu Qinghuan turned around in unison, looking at He Luoke who was secretly looking at this side behind the curtain of the carriage, and laughed when she saw that she was weak and hurriedly lowered the curtain and retracted into the car.

"Okay, I'll tell her. With your words, this girl can finally live in peace, otherwise I really don't know how to meet you. He Shi'an couldn't help but make fun of his sister, retracted his gaze and looked at Gu Qinghuan, looked at his embarrassment, and sighed.

In exchange for him, he comforted Gu Qinghuan and said: "Since some things can't be forced, let's put them down as soon as possible, what is lost is lost after all, and what can't be kept can't be kept, each has a way, each has a fate, instead of suffering for the ruthless, it is better to pay attention to the sentient person...... Are you right? ”

The two looked at each other, tacit understanding was safe, Gu Qinghuan understood his intentions, thought about his words seriously, nodded seriously, and said with emotion: "Yes, what doesn't belong to you doesn't belong to you after all...... You have to look ahead, you have to go forward......"

……

Gu Qingxuan and Gu Qingning went to the Yin Mansion to mourn but were rejected by the Yin brothers, they didn't even want to give the Gu family a chance to act, so their father and daughter had to come back.

After they came back, they saw that Gu Qinghuan was injured, and then they knew about the fight between Gu Qinghuan and Yang Rongan, and asked him the reason, Gu Qinghuan was angry and didn't want to hurt Jiang Xiange's face, so he only said angrily that they would ask Jiang Xiange.

They knew that since they could provoke Gu Qinghuan to the extent of doing something, then this matter was not an ordinary contradiction, presumably Jiang Xiange must have suffered a lot of grievances, and they were all worried about Jiang Xiange, Gu Qingning almost went directly to the Yang Mansion to ask He Shi'an for the crime, but Gu Qingxuan stopped her.

He knew Jiang Xiange, and knew that Gu Qingning would not ask anything if he asked directly, Jiang Xiange would firstly worry about not causing trouble to them, and secondly, he also had the heart to protect Yang Rongan, so he could only figure out what was going on first, or wait for Gu Qinghuan to confess to them, and then they could take action.

Gu Qingxuan pondered and persuaded Gu Qingning to temporarily suppress his anger: "Qingning, don't worry about it first, Qing Huan refuses to say it, which proves that he has a hard time with the string song, and besides, Qing Huan already knows the situation, will he let the string song be wronged again?"

Gu Qingning was a little relieved, but Gu Qinghuan, who was bored on the side, said: "No, father, I won't care, I won't ask about her and Yang Rongan's affairs, and you don't care, after all, it's someone's own business, what do we have to do? We are angry for her, it's just nosy." ”

When he said this, he was obviously angry, Gu Qingning and Gu Qingxuan looked at him, looked at each other again, and smiled, because they would not believe a word of what Gu Qinghuan said.

In the evening, Gu Qingning was alone in the front garden, wandering under the locust tree, trying to sort out the intricate thoughts in his mind, and it was always difficult to let go of his worries about Jiang Xiange.

There was a knock on the door of the Gu family's mansion, and the door informed that a guest was coming, she didn't care, but after a while, but when she saw Uncle Tang leading a girl into the courtyard, Gu Qingning's face changed, and she was as cold as a black iron.

She walked up to them, stopped in front of them, and asked, "What are you doing at my house?"

When He Luoke saw her face, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he immediately became weak, and hesitated how to speak: "I...... I ......"

already had the intention of apologizing to the Gu family, so He Luoke also had the intention to show weakness at this time, and said carefully: "Don't be angry first, Sister Ning ......"

"Shut up!" Her salutation, like a silver needle stabbing Gu Qingning's heart, couldn't suppress her emotions even more, and yelled at her, He Luoke was frightened and didn't know what he said wrong.

"Don't call me that, I can't stand it, Miss He!" Gu Qingning was so angry that he pointed to the door and said, "The humble house is shabby, Miss He still don't come to the door again, please." ”

He Luoke didn't expect that she wouldn't even give herself a chance to speak, she was a little aggrieved, suppressed the anger in her heart, reluctantly showed softness, and nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll go...... But please leave this to Qinghuan......"

She shyly took out something and handed it to Gu Qingning, it was the small jade bottle with the medicine, "This is the medicine for him to replenish his body, I re-ground it for him, this vial, I put tassels on it, it can be used as an ornament, it will not be awkward...... You give it to him, let him take his medicine on time, and take it with him......"

Gu Qingning only glanced at it indifferently, as if he had reached the limit of patience, and when he raised his hand, instead of taking the bottle, it hit the back of her hand directly, causing the vial to fall to the ground, "No need, our family medicine can still afford it, don't bother with it." ”

"What are you doing!" He Luoke couldn't bear it any longer, and hurriedly bent over to pick up the vial, but was stopped by her again.

Gu Qingning stood in front of her and pushed her out the door: "Get out of here! Don't come to my house! I don't want to see you!"

Both of them were angry, pushing and shoving, He Luoke was in a hurry, couldn't control his strength, and pushed his hand so heavily that Gu Qingning fell to the ground by mistake.

Gu Qinghuan heard about the Qianyuan and was rushing here, as soon as he came over, he saw them making a move, and hurriedly came to persuade him, and saw that his sister had suffered a loss, so he hurriedly yelled at He Luoke: "Luoke! What are you doing!"

Gu Qinghuan ran over to help Gu Qingning up, blamed He Luoke and said, "You really don't have a light or heavy attack, can't you talk well? How can you come to my house and beat people?"

"It's obviously her ......" He Luoke was anxious and angry, watching him accuse himself of taking care of Gu Qingning, he was so angry that he just wanted to explain, and forced himself to swallow his words back.

He Luoke bit his lower lip, glared at Gu Qinghuan, didn't say anything, just bent over to pick up the small jade bottle, dragged Gu Qinghuan's hand, and stuffed the ornament into his hand, "Your medicine is full for you, take it on time...... Eat you!"

After speaking, she turned around and left, held her head high, and walked out of the Gu family's mansion proudly.

Gu Qinghuan held the jade bottle in his hand, was stunned for a moment, and said to Gu Qingning: "Sister, wait a minute......

So he ran and chased after him, shouting several times: "Luoke! Luoke!"

He Luoke was holding his breath, and didn't want to pay attention to him at all, but when he heard the sound of him running out of breath, thinking of his frailty, he gritted his teeth, but stopped, turned around and glared at him viciously, and shouted at him: "Is Luoke your name? Who asked you to call him so affectionate? Please call Miss He, thank you!"

Gu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief, looking at her angry appearance, he felt a special cuteness, laughed, and said, "Okay, eldest miss, thank you for coming to bring me medicine." ”

He Luoke stopped glaring at him, only pursed his mouth, opened his eyes wide, and looked at him aggrievedly.

Gu Qinghuan comforted her and said, "Don't be angry, I know you didn't mean it just now." ”

"And you're still yelling at me?"

"Alright, my bad. You pushed my sister down, I don't yell at you to tell her, can my sister relieve her anger? However, I didn't say you, you really have to pay attention in the future, don't keep your hands so heavy, it doesn't matter to me, but what about my sister? Seeing that you were injured one time at a time, it is impossible for me to make her treat you better, don't you say?"

"Why do I want her to be nice to me? She hates me to death, I know...... I originally wanted to apologize to her, but she didn't want to see me at all, if she didn't see me, she wouldn't see me, and I wouldn't be on the door of your Gu family in the future. He Luoke muttered indignantly.

Gu Qinghuan continued to be relieved: "Don't be angry with my sister, you know, she has always been a very strong person, and she is more reluctant to bow to people than you, but that day in your house, you knelt and kowtowed, and you beat her and scolded her, she suffered it, and finally ended up with that result, how could she be easily relieved? and...... Lord Chengshuo had a special status in her heart, but he died in front of her...... This kind of blow, no one can stand it, she just can't figure it out for a while, she can't get over this hurdle...... It would be nice if she looked down on her in the future......"

Listening to his patient persuasion, He Luoke felt a lot more comfortable, and she didn't lose her temper anymore, she lowered her head and frowned and thought about it, although she didn't accept Gu Qingning's attitude towards her, she also knew that she was partly responsible, and she was still uneasy in her heart, so she had to say, "Okay...... I see, then you can help me say something nice, I didn't expect it to be like that at the time...... I've lost my loved ones too......"

"Well, don't worry, my sister will figure it out, she's not a narrow-minded person. You go home first, Miss Ho. ”

He Luoke raised his head, looked at his scarred and gentle smiling face, felt sweet and astringent, indescribably complicated, pulled his sleeve, and said, "It's been a long time, I've been patronizing and angry, and I haven't been able to speak well, you ...... Just go for a walk with me......"

Gu Qinghuan patted her on the shoulder, pointed to the door of his house, and said helplessly: "There is another one there that I have to coax, I won't accompany you today, how about you go home early, and invite you to eat delicious food another day?"

He Luoke compromised, stepped back with his back, and winked at him: "It's almost ...... I'm leaving. ”

Gu Qinghuan nodded, then remembered something, and said to her: "By the way, go back and ask your brother when he will be able to return to the official office, and tell him that if he is ready, he is welcome to go back at any time." ”

He Luoke was even more pleased, and readily agreed: "Okay, I remember, Master Gu." ”

Gu Qinghuan watched her lively back go away, then turned around and walked back, looked at the small jade bottle in his hand with cherishment, and entered the mansion gate, seeing that the front garden was empty, and Gu Qingning was nowhere to be seen.

He walked to the workshop in the backyard, and sure enough, he found her, she was sitting at the desk drawing, surrounded by a pile of discarded manuscript paper, her expression was focused and calm, and she did not see Fang Cai's angry appearance at all.

He knew that these days, she had been used to numbing herself with busyness.

He stood in the doorway and knocked on the door frame, "Sister......"

Gu Qingning didn't even raise his head, "Go ahead, don't worry about me." ”

He walked in and flattered: "I'm not busy, I'll accompany you......"

She said, "But I'm too busy to pay attention to you." ”

Gu Qinghuan asked, "Sister, are you still angry?"

She didn't stop moving: "I'm not angry, I just want to be clear, he will never recruit people I don't want to see into the house......"

Gu Qinghuan wondered in his heart, and shook his head helplessly: "Okay, my fault, sister, don't be sad." ”

"You really don't want me to be sad?" she finally looked up at him.

"Of course. Gu Qinghuan saw that there was a turning point, and hurriedly responded.

She asked, "Then do you listen to what I say?"

"Of course, you know, I'm much more obedient than Qingfeng. He took the opportunity to lift himself up and behave in front of his sister.

Gu Qingning's gaze swept over the jade bottle of accessories on his waist, looked at him very solemnly, and asked, "Then I want you not to see He Luoke again in the future, can you agree?"

Gu Qinghuan chuckled in his heart, and the moment she said this request, he suddenly felt an indescribable heartache and sourness, which seemed familiar......

Or is it so familiar......

For so many years, because of the woman he cherished in his heart, this feeling often haunted his heart, painful and helpless, when she said that she didn't want to marry herself, when she said that she wanted to marry someone else, when she said that he shouldn't take care of her family affairs......

I never thought that I would feel like this because of another person at this moment......

He was stunned for a moment, dazed.

Gu Qingning saw his expression, and knew that he couldn't do it, and he was about to get angry again, but he nodded and said, "Okay, sister, I promise you." ”
