Gu Qinghuan's eyes changed a few times, and he glanced at the main book, in fact, he couldn't bother with these pretentious red tape etiquette.

He smiled and said: "Master Fang is so knowledgeable, you should understand that there is a difference between the upper and lower levels, you are the subordinate of the official, but you are the official and the family is pointing fingers, it seems a little inappropriate, right?

The master book failed to please him, and his expression immediately became embarrassed.

He didn't deliberately fiddle with the official authority, and then smiled at Tang Bo with his hand: "Uncle Tang, you don't know, this Fang master bookkeeper is called 'Fang Long Tongue', which means that he has long-term knowledge and is skillful like a spring, and you will have to be called Lord Long Tongue when you see him in the future, which is enough to respect and salute." ”

Uncle Tang almost laughed, tried to hold back, and solemnly saluted Master Fang: "The old slave has seen Lord Longtongue. ”

Master Fang's face turned blue and he was silent.

Gu Qinghuan said goodbye to him and entered the house with Uncle Tang, and later the documents were also sent to him.

After that, Gu Qingxuan heard about this matter, and only sighed that Gu Qinghuan was still young and vigorous, and he was easy to act rashly.

It doesn't make sense for him to have this thought, after all, the attitude of the officialdom should be different from that of ordinary people, Gu Qinghuan has not yet learned how to correctly apply official authority, and he doesn't know when he should make a choice.

If you are quick to speak for a while, it is very likely that you will have endless disasters.

It wasn't long before this was corroborated.

Entering the mansion gate, Gu Qinghuan looked different, a little self-satisfied, and happily ran towards the main hall, holding two gift boxes in his arms: "Qingfeng! Qingfeng!"

……

Gu Qingning and Gu Qingxuan also came back one after another.

The four of them sat down in the hall, Uncle Tang passed the dishes to the banquet, as in previous years, Gu Qingfeng was the happiest, accepted their double gifts, and did not complain that they were sloppy compared to previous years, and understood their busyness.

It's just that he still can't stand the cold war between the three guys.

They all laughed at him, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, but when they looked closely, they never talked to each other, but showed him in a very skillful and perfect way what it meant to be "happy".

asked and didn't tell him anything, he was helpless, and he began to sulk.

Uncle Tang led people in to pour wine and dishes, raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the scene in the lower hall, saw Sangu's face indifferent, and looked at Gu Qingfeng with a depressed face.

When Uncle Tang poured wine for Gu Qingxuan, he respectfully called him an adult, which was customary, even when he went to the official, he was called like this.

Later, when he came to Gu Qinghuan, he thought about all kinds of things, and he was still called an adult.

The same is naturally true for Gu Qingning.

His only three simple words, which sounded reasonable, were actually very harsh.

It was Gu Qingfeng's ear that was stabbed.

He was not happy, and his face drooped, "Heh! It's all adults, dare to love me as a villain?"

Of course, it was not aimed at Tang Bo, but deliberately lost his temper with Sangu.

Seeing that the "ignition" was successful, Tang Bo retired and silently moved to the side.

Gu Qingxuan coughed and said, "Qingfeng, don't mess around." ”

Gu Qingfeng slapped the table directly: "I'm messing around, it's obviously you who are making trouble!"

This was the first time he had confronted his father.

Gu Qinghuan spoke: "Qingfeng, you don't know what's going on at all, so why are you angry?"

Gu Qingfeng was even more annoyed, beating his chest and said, "That's because you never told me! What's wrong with you? Why don't you say anything? You still want me to pretend that you don't know anything?"

Gu Qinghuan said: "We don't let you know because we don't want you to disappoint......"

He glanced at Gu Qingxuan, closed his eyes and said, "I don't want you to be disappointed in your father......

At that moment, Gu Qingfeng felt a tingling pain in his heart, and turned his head to look at Gu Qingxuan in disbelief: "Father......"

At this moment, Gu Qingxuan also experienced extreme pain.

His gaze swept over Gu Qingning and Gu Qinghuan, and said slowly, "You guys also disappointed me. ”

"Father......" Gu Qingfeng was confused, he looked at his father and then at his brother and sister, and almost collapsed: "What's the matter? What happened so seriously that it can't be solved? How could it be so serious?"

They fell silent again.

Later, what broke this Tang stiffness and silence was a thunderclap from the sky.

There was a roar of thunder outside, and the white light broke through the clouds, broke through, and the sound sounded, and the majestic thunderstorm fell to the ground, besieging Chang'an City.

Gu Qingfeng's eyes suddenly burst into tears, he no longer stalemate with them, got up and ran out.

The raindrops smashed on the tiles of the Gu Mansion's house, and the pieces were washed, and none of them were spared, and the old dust that had been covered before was washed away by this rain.

They no longer looked at each other, no longer complained to each other, but they all stood up, and the three of them watched Gu Qingfeng go away together, listening to the sound of his footsteps under the corridor and the sound of the rain.

After a while, the footsteps were gone, but the rain was still there.

The three figures in front and behind stood in front of the door, looking at the wind and clouds in this courtyard, and they all knew that Chang'an City was full of wind and rain at this time.

Gu Qingxuan closed his eyes and said, "Do you know what I was thinking when that knife stabbed into my father's body?"

"I'm just relieved that there were only the three of you in the center of my mind at that moment, because I believe that even if I die like that, you will continue to follow our path......"

He turned back and looked at them: "I believe that my sons and my daughters will do great things! I believe that you have that ability, why don't you believe it? You are my sons and daughters, and I have no need to doubt you!"

"Okay, don't make trouble, I know that you have a lot of confusion and resentment against your father, Qinghuan you, and even think that your father didn't even care about your life in order to achieve his goal, but?"

"How so? Every step my father took was carefully calculated, and I was careful to make sure that I would win, even in the event of an accident. When my son was in prison, I thought about making sure you were safe before the project could go ahead. That's why Yin Shilang just happened to appear in prison that day, Qinghuan my son, you are safe and sound now. ”

"As for Qingning, your father has forgiven you, you may forgive your father?"

He seemed to use the utmost patience to say these words so that his children could see his true heart.

Gu Qingning choked up and lost his voice, "Father, it's not that you can't forgive, you have never hated, how can you talk about forgiveness?" It's just that I have so many puzzles, I can't agree with what you've done to chase power, father, or sacrifice yourself or sacrifice your chess pieces......"

She shook her head, almost tormenting herself: "No, no, I don't know, I don't know anything! I can't understand anything! Father...... Is it worth it?"

Gu Qingxuan walked up to her and pressed her trembling shoulder, "Qingning, when you get to your father's step, you will know if it's worth it." Now, don't think about it, you're going to get to this point, and you're going to be a chess player...... My father always believed it. ”

He looked at the eldest son and eldest daughter, his expression had eased, smiled at them, shook his head and sighed: "Okay, I have to coax my most distressed child......"

……

The thunderstorm did not subside until the second half of the night.

Gu Qingxuan walked through the corridor that blocked the raging wind and rain with the lamp, his clothes were not wet, his steps were steady, and he went to Gu Qingfeng's bedroom in the backyard, he knocked on the door, but no one answered, only the knocking sound and the sound of rain could be heard.

Walking further, he saw the small Buddha hall, the lights were bright at this time, Gu Qingxuan's heart moved, his expression was melancholy, so he walked over there, looked up at the lanterns hanging on both sides of the corridor, those brocade square lanterns were all made by Shen Lanxi himself, and they were hung with his own hands, and they would not be blown down by the wind, washed away by the rain, and would not fade due to the passage of time.

He specially instructed Tang Bo to put a special oilcloth cover on each lantern every time it rained, so even on this stormy night, there was still this bright light illuminated on the Manfu corridor, and the tenacious light points swayed and shone in the wind and rain, like stars and moons......

Before, there were not many people in the house, every time the rainstorm suddenly came, he and his children would personally come to put oilcloth on these lamps, they panicked, and did not dare to be sloppy at all, the whole family ran back and forth on this corridor together, jumping up and down, and took a long breath after being busy, which was also very interesting.

Of course, what he misses the most is when Shen Lanxi was there, walking hand in hand with him holding a candle lamp every quiet night, and looking at the three small bedrooms over there......

Qing Ning just learned to make woodcarving things, she was so fascinated that she couldn't do enough during the day and always secretly stayed up late at night to do it, they were not allowed, she had to go to her room to "catch" her a "current", in fact, every time Shen Lanxi would accompany her to finish it and coax her to fall asleep before returning to the main house;

Qinghuan has been obedient since he was a child, and he is the first to sleep, unless he is disturbed by the naughty and active breeze. When he was seven years old, he happened to read a book of strange bibliographies, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to sleep. Qingfeng also deliberately sneaked into his room at night to pretend to be a ghost to scare him, and the two brothers made a fuss, broke into their sister's room, and broke the little puppet made by Qingning, and they couldn't live in peace that night.

The three little guys cried and ran to the main house, he and Lan Xi had a clear division of labor, he pretended to be a murderer and taught the three of them a lesson, Shen Lanxi comforted them and coaxed them to sleep.

Who wants to blink an eye, Qinghuan "learned badly", and told those scary stories to Qingfeng Qingning, so that they were too scared to sleep, now it's okay, the three of them shrank in a room, Qingning also carved a "peach wood sword", Qinghuan painted a "talisman", Qingfeng wore a quilt and read "Urgent as a law" and jumped around with a wooden sword......

The Gu couple had no choice but to take them all to the main house to sleep, watching the three of them fall asleep peacefully, Shen Lanxi whispered in his ear-

"If only they never grew up......"

"Or God give me a little more time, I want to watch them grow up......"

- "Don't talk nonsense, Lan Xi, we have to watch Qingning get married together, watch Qinghuan get admitted to the top prize, watch Qingfeng become a big man, we will grow old together, and our children and grandchildren will be full of ......"

"Qingxuan, you know, I'm not afraid, this natural stubborn disease, I have long been prepared to die at any time, I am not afraid of death, people will eventually die...... However, I am afraid that God will take away your wife, and I am afraid that they will lose their mother......"

……

Heaven finally took her, took his wife, and took their mother.

He had never been prepared and had lost her forever.

Lan Xi, they grew up......

……

Gu Qingxuan walked outside the Buddha hall, pushed the door and didn't open it, knocked on the door, and said softly: "Qingfeng, open the door, let my father in, okay?"

In response to his stubborn and willful complaints: "I don't! I'm telling my mother about you, so I won't let you hear it!"

Gu Qingxuan smiled, but there was sourness in his heart, "Okay, your mother has died, how can you sue? ”

Gu Qingfeng Huo Ran pulled the door open at once, and deliberately said with a straight face: "I burned paper and told my mother, can't I?"

Gu Qingxuan was silent, patted him on the shoulder kindly, and looked at the Buddha hall, the golden Buddha was enshrined in Shen Lanxi's spiritual seat, the name on it, although he had seen it thousands of times, but every time his eyes touched it, there was still unbearable pain in his heart.

As soon as the door opened, the strong wind entered the house, blowing out the incense candle that Gu Qingfeng had lit before under the spirit card, he walked in, lit the incense candle again, looked back at Gu Qingfeng with a stubborn and angry face, and said, "Qingfeng, my father knows...... In fact, in the heart of the father, she has never left us......"

Gu Qingfeng's pretended anger disappeared in an instant, and his eyes were hurt, "Father......"

His expression froze slightly, and suddenly he turned positive, no longer juvenile and childish, and said: "Maybe it's true, doesn't it mean that people will exist in the form of souls after death? Maybe my mother has never left this home, and she can feel our every move, our joys and sorrows, and she will be sad for us and happy for us." After all, what my mother cares about most is our family, which is indispensable and inseparable, no matter ...... life or death."

Somewhat unaccustomed to Qingfeng's deep appearance, Gu Qingxuan asked, "When did you believe this soul?"

Gu Qingfeng said: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I think if this statement is true, then my mother's soul will definitely stay in the world, because she is reluctant and not at ease." ”

"What's she worried about?"

"We. Gu Qingfeng was solemn and quiet, and said: "The deceased is gone, and the living are restless, of course she will not be relieved." ”

"Restless?" he whispered, understood, this was the point that Gu Qingfeng wanted to say, and listened to him continue: "Mother is gone, the Gu family is still alive, but the hearts of the people are scattered, even if the family is there, the Gu family will not exist in the world." ”

It turned out that he had been seeing it so thoroughly, Gu Qingxuan was a little surprised, but also a little melancholy, and looked at this little son with a smile: "Qingfeng has really grown up." ”

As soon as he was a little relieved, Gu Qingfeng's face changed serious, his eyes turned blue, and he feigned anger: "What about talking about life, be serious, okay? Father, that's what I think anyway, think about it." ”

Seeing him pretending like this, Gu Qingxuan couldn't help but knock him on the head, "Stinky boy, how can you talk to your father?"

He dodged away, hid on the edge of the spirit table, and pretended to be pitiful with a drooping face, "Father, I want to burn paper to sue your mother! You actually beat me? My mother has never beaten me!"

Gu Qingxuan said helplessly: "Okay, my father won't beat you anymore, and I will make amends to you for my crimes, right?" ”

Gu Qingfeng said proudly: "Okay, it's good that my father knows his mistakes." ”

Thinking about it, Gu Qingxuan felt a little strange, obviously he wanted to enlighten him, who would have thought that he would be reprimanded by him instead, and this father would make amends for his son?

He sighed to himself, and he understood that Qingfeng was too bright, and he would bring up Shen Lanxi to talk about things, in a word, it was really superb.

Yes, their breeze has indeed grown up, and what about them?

After the father and son finished chattering, Gu Qingfeng was about to go to sleep, so he went out of the Buddhist hall first, and before closing the door, he turned around and said to Gu Qingxuan: "Father, the officialdom is sinister, the official career is troublesome, you, and my sister and brother, be careful, and work together." You are all the most precious people to my mother and me, and I think you are all well. ”

He smiled and nodded: "Okay, my father has been taught." ”

"Well, the ruin can be taught......" he blinked, mischievously.

Seeing that Gu Qingxuan was about to pick up the futon and smash it at him, he hurriedly closed the door and slipped away.
