Chapter 68: Fengcheng Nanmo reminiscences

"Qingning ......" he looked at his daughter in disbelief, and his heart turned upside down. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Later, he lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Is that what you want?" Qingning, don't read anything else, just ask yourself, if the Lu family didn't break the contract, and I didn't regret it, if you really put on a wedding dress and marry Lu Yuanze, are you really willing?"

This question struck at her heartstrings and penetrated into the deepest part of her heart, and a person's voice inexplicably came up, as if in her ears-

"Whether my father believes me or not, I know that he always understands my ......"

It's the mother, it's Luoyang, it's in front of the Shen family......

She finally understood, it turned out that it would really be like this, even if she didn't even understand herself, there was always one person who knew her best, and who could understand her heart the most, was the father in front of her......

"You are my daughter, how can I not understand your temperament? Growing up with children is the lifelong business of all women in the world, but not you. As far as you are concerned, even if you marry a good man, you will not be happier than working in the Ministry of Industry, and the most luxurious wedding dress in the world will not look better than the official dress you are wearing at this time. Isn't it?"

He was so transparent, his eyes showed a calm majesty, and he looked at Gu Qingning's eyes, "Your surname is Gu, you are my bloodline, you are more like me than your younger brothers, you are also a natural careerist, a natural power seeker, you are like this, Qingning, you admit it." ”

That's how you are......

Yes, that's what she is, that's what she is!

She can never make excuses for herself, she can never pretend to herself that someone else is forcing her all this, she can never pretend to be aggrieved against her conscience.

Because that's what she is.

"That'...... Father, why do you always say that you want to find me a good husband? Don't you keep saying that you want me to find a home?" she asked.

Gu Qingxuan lowered his eyes, his eyes instantly became dim, and the whole person seemed to have lost his strength, and sat down casually, when he lowered his head, a few silver threads loomed in his black hair, and he sighed loudly, and his words fell into condensation.

"It's one thing to understand, it's another thing to expect...... Qingning, all fathers in this world, want their children to choose a simpler and more stable path, and I am no exception...... I know this...... It's too hard ......."

Gu Qingning was choked in an instant, his nose was sore, and his eyes were wet with tears: "But, father...... You'll never know what I've lost. ”

With that, she turned and walked to the door.

"You mean...... Luoyang's business?"

Gu Qingxuan's question made her stop suddenly, and in an instant, people and gods separated, she turned around, and her face turned pale: "What? Mother...... Mother told you?"

Gu Qingxuan raised his face and shook his head dejectedly: "No...... There has never been a secret between me and her, except Luoyang...... At the beginning of the year, she accompanied you to Luoyang, what was it for, she didn't tell me, and asked me never to ask you about it......"

Thinking of Shen Lanxi and Luoyang, Gu Qingning couldn't support it anymore, covered his face and mourned, burst into tears, looked at his father, and kept shaking his head.

Then she seemed to remember something, and took a few steps back.

"No secrets other than this?"

She didn't dare to think deeply, but she couldn't help but ask: "So, you have known about your mother's illness for a long time, father?

Just like a sharp blade, stabbed into his vicissitudes of life, the candle flame was shining, and under his lowered eyelashes, there were trembling tears.

He was silent for a long time, then nodded.

"I knew it, I knew she was leaving me...... But I can't keep her......"

……

Twenty-four years ago, it was the coldest day in Luoyang, but it was the warmest night of his life.

It wasn't she who chose him, it wasn't he who chose her, it was Heaven who chose them.

"After drinking this pot, Brother Gu, you have to take off your clothes to pay for the wine~" Which classmate and friend wantonly laughed at his young self, he had long forgotten.

He leaned back in the wooden chair, untied the wolf fur, and threw it aside, leaving only a thin cloth coat on his body, and poured it on the back of the chair at will, the slightly drunken smell of wine made him temperamental and presumptuous.

"Take this big directly, I just want to make this last altar of daughter red!"

The shopkeeper shouted, "Okay!" and ran over to get his big coat.

After all, the fox Qiu and the ermine Qiu have seen a lot, and this wolf Qiu is the first time he has seen it, and he can't wait to drape it on himself, showing off a few circles in front of everyone.

Gu Qingxuan raised his head and poured a bowl of wine, and glanced at the shopkeeper, "This is a wolf fur, how can a layman match it?"

The shopkeeper was unconvinced and said: "It's the same animal skin, it's just a cold for people, what's the difference? Why can't it be worthy?"

He said: "The wolf, the lonely, the never, the ruthless, the brave cannot surrender, the non-wise cannot control, the world dares to slaughter the flattering fox and shrink the head of the mink, how many people dare to fight with the wild wolf? Not to mention eating its flesh and its skin?"

"Then what do you mean to say who can be worthy of this wolf fur?"

He replied, "The wise, the brave, the wolf-slayer." ”

"Who?"

With a wave of his hand, the liquor entered his throat, and he looked up to the sky and smiled: "In the world, there is only one person." ”

The scholars laughed around the table, wandering in the most luxurious restaurant in Luoyang City, reckless and young, indulgent and uninhibited, and not afraid of the contempt of those dignitaries.

What I do not have today will be in the future, and he who looks down on me today will sooner or later surrender at my feet......

Or, the night rain in the rivers and lakes, poetry, wine, piano and chess, you have a lifetime of happiness, is it not necessary?

When I was young, there was always so much pride, and there was always so much pride.

However, when he saw Shen Lanxi for the first time, at that moment, he only had an inferiority complex in his heart that even spirits could not erase.

……

Before he finished speaking, in a blink of an eye, he saw the wolf fur held by the shopkeeper in someone else's hands.

A slender hand picked up the wolfskin, and the maid behind her naturally took it and draped it over her thin shoulders.

She turned around and stood in front of him with her arms upright, and at that moment, the world overturned.

She lowered her eyes slightly and admired the wolf fur on her body, raised her eyes and hooked her lips, and smiled lightly at him, "I look at this wolf fur, I wear it just right." Thank you Childe for cutting love. ”

Those eyes were so calm, with natural pride and self-control, but they shocked his soul more than the fierce wolf eyes.

A frivolous and superficial youth, like him, realized for the first time that it is not enough to praise a woman with beauty.

Because she in front of her is not stunning, but she has fallen into the country.

"I want it, let's settle the accounts with the shopkeeper. She fastened her neckband and smiled.

The shopkeeper was a little surprised, and nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, Miss upstairs, please." ”

She turned around and walked up the stairs in the crowd of maids, with dignified hair in a bun, delicate hairpin rings, a gray wolf fur on her body, and her back alone showed the grace of her whole body, but it was not domineering, but so shallow, so light, so gentle.

She turned around, her eyes casually swept over him, paused slightly, and said to the shopkeeper: "This son's wine is only invited by me, and he will be served to the bar." ”

The shopkeeper responded: "Little Er, quickly take out the daughter red that the son wants......"

"Nope. ”

She interrupted the shopkeeper's words, turned her eyes to look at Gu Qingxuan again, and the two met their gazes.

"On the best champion red. ”

She continued upstairs and entered the private room on the second floor.

"Miss Shen, oh my God, it's really her......" his companions chirped in his ears in amazement, but he was silent.

There were four people sitting at this table, and one of them was going to Chang'an to rush to next year's scientific expedition, so they had the luxury of setting up a banquet here for their classmates.

The scholar who was going to catch the exam was twenty-year-old Gu Qingxuan.

He finished drinking a jar of Zhuangyuan Hong, and in the evening of dusk, the north wind was howling outside, and the guests of the restaurant gradually dispersed, and he also said goodbye to his classmates, but did not leave, but looked up at the door on the second floor.

Later, someone came to him, it was the maid who was serving the young lady of the Shen family, and asked him, "Can the son play chess?"

He nodded, "Yes." ”

"My young lady is upstairs and invites her son to talk about it. ”
