Chapter 5: No Belligerent Intentions

Gu Qingxuan shook his head and said: "I am in charge of the treasury of Daqi, and I know every tax, grain, consumption, and expenditure of the imperial court well, and the disaster relief funds in Hexi have passed through my hands, I can be sure that there has been no mistake or omission, but something went wrong in this, if our new Lord Si Cheng wants to check the accounts, let him check it, he can find out how I "embezzled" this money, and it is best for me to solve my doubts!" he gritted his teeth and sarcastically said.

Shen Lanxi said worriedly: "Things are so strange, neither side can come up with evidence at present, and they can't move you yet, but Qingxuan, you should also come up with evidence to prove your innocence before they make this false accusation." ”

"Prove my innocence? Madame also knows that there is a saying, what is the danger of wanting to add to the crime? They deliberately framed it, how can I be allowed to prove my innocence? Now that the general trend of the court is controlled by Lu Yuanzhi, he wants to open the knife on us old men, and it is only a matter of time before I move me, if I act too hastily, it will attract his attention. He pondered.

Shen Lanxi pondered deeply and asked: "Since we can't resist it, can we temporarily avoid its edge? He is now powerful, and he is afraid that others will share the credit, so he suppresses the old party, so what if we don't fight?"

Her words happened to coincide with what Gu Qingxuan was thinking, the two glanced at each other, and said at the same time: "This "indisputable" is not the other "indisputable". ”

When a family of five didn't last long, they gathered together for dinner in the main hall, Shen Lanxi personally cooked for his children to cook his favorite dishes, Gu Qingxuan changed the depressed state a few days ago, did not talk about troubles, and talked as in the past, no more and no less, chatting with the eldest daughter about high-rise buildings, chatting with the eldest son about examination articles, instructing the young son not to be contaminated with the bad habits of the rivers and lakes even if he is outside, and telling his wife and daughter what to pay attention to on the way to Luoyang.

It's just that Gu Qinghuan's interest is not very high, although he tries his best to cover it up, he can't avoid the eyes of his mother Shen Lanxi and sister Gu Qingning, after dinner, the mother and daughter went to the backyard together to find Gu Qinghuan, who was leaning under the porch alone to study, and asked him the reason for his bad mood, Gu Qinghuan only said that he was inevitably worried because of the recent changes in his family, so he coaxed Shen Lanxi away.

Shen Lanxi ignored him for the time being, went to pack up the things she and Gu Qingning needed to prepare when they went to Luoyang, and only signaled Gu Qingning to enlighten Gu Qinghuan with her eyes. After his mother left, there were only two siblings left, Gu Qingning said frankly: "Qinghuan, don't try to hide it from me, you were worried about your father a few days ago, but tonight my father is business as usual, we can all see that he must have a way to deal with it, what are you worried about? So, you must have something else in your heart, let's talk about it, is it related to string songs?"

Seeing that his sister knew him so well, Gu Qinghuan couldn't find any more reasons to hide it, so he naturally vented his grievances to her: "Sister, I still can't hide it from you...... I just can't get angry......"

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Gu Qinghuan furrowed his brows, slammed the wooden pillar with his hand that was accustomed to holding the pen, and said: "Go to Jiangyue Tower today, Xian Ge strokes the qin for everyone in the Qin Pavilion, and then I enter the Qin Pavilion to see her, who wants to ...... Who would have thought that Lu Yuancheng would actually break into the Qin Pavilion!"

"Lu Yuancheng? He also went to Jiang Yuelou? It is really abrupt to trespass into the Qin Pavilion, but presumably she has seen a lot of such things as string songs, and with her temperament, she will definitely not provoke Lu Yuanzhi, not to mention that Uncle Jiang will not ignore it...... Or is it that Lu Yuancheng made trouble in Jiangyue Tower?" Gu Qingning guessed.

He threw away the book, shook his head indignantly, and said, "No, he didn't make trouble! Except for trespassing, he was even more polite than usual, and he was not too offended...... It's just that he's giving this to the string song!"

As he spoke, he took out a jade fracture fan from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Qingning, she could see at a glance: "This poem, this literary style, and this handwriting are obviously not from him, they were written by Qinghuan, right?"

He pursed his lips, glanced at the words on the fan, and said: "Indeed, this is what I wrote, and I ghostwrote the inscription on this fan for him, but at that time he just said that he was going to give it to a certain official lady and asked me to write a love poem for him, who thought that he was going to give it to Xiange! Not to mention that I have known him for so many years, he knows that I am ...... to Xiange"

The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and he expressed the resentment that he had been holding back for a long time: "He just deliberately humiliated me! He did this in front of me just to make Xian Ge look down on me!"

Gu Qingning looked at him and asked, "Xian Ge must be able to see at a glance who this poem is from, so what did she tell you?"

Gu Qinghuan said: "No...... How can I still have the face to speak in front of her, Lu Yuancheng was persuaded by Uncle Jiang to leave, I was so angry that I directly snatched the fan from the string singer and fled, I really have no dignity!"

Gu Qingning closed the fan, squeezed the cold jade bone tightly, stopped looking at him, was silent for a while, and then said: "Qinghuan, haven't you really thought about it? Although you have always been friendly with these sons of these families, how many of them really admire your talent? When your poems and articles can help them coax the girl to go through the scientific examination, they will naturally pretend to have the same interests and sincere feelings as you, but the times have changed, when the Gu family is in crisis, I am afraid they will not even be able to look down on your talents...... There is only jealousy and ridicule...... Or fall into the well......"

Her words were mean and true, Gu Qinghuan listened to it, his heart calmed down, he was speechless for a long time, and then closed his eyes and nodded: "Well, sister, I understand, it's no wonder that others, it's also my own fault, I have always wanted to make peace with them and integrate into their circle, who thinks that no matter what they do, it's just a joke in their eyes......"

Gu Qingning returned the fan to him, "No, Qinghuan, you must know that they don't allow you, not because you are bad, but because you are different." Qinghuan, it's time for us all to wake up, everything in the past was a cloud of smoke, and if you are wrong, you will be wrong. ”

Gu Qinghuan stretched out his hand to take the jade fan, and threw it into the ditch outside the corridor in an instant, and the jade smashed into the hard stone, which was broken after all, and the fragments of the fan were all gone with the flow and disappeared......

He didn't turn his head to look at her, but just stood side by side with her, staring at the trickling waves in the night, both of them were silent for a while, and then he said: "Sister, you also have to take care, I know that you are not a weak person, why do you need to spend two months to escape the world and soothe your heart? Therefore, I really hope that after you come back from Luoyang, I can listen to you say in person that everything is over." ”

On the eve of Gu Qingning and Shen Lanxi's departure, Hong Luotian asked his henchmen to rush to Luoyang to make arrangements in the starry night, and sent them his handwritten letter when they just left the city.

The mother and daughter of the Gu family traveled in simple clothes, and they didn't even bring a maid with them, so after they arrived in Luoyang, they naturally did not settle down in the mansion of Shen Lanxi's family, but settled in a nunnery outside Luoyang City.

In Chang'an City, when the spring is cold, it is the period when the wind and rain are coming.
