Chapter Seventy-Three: The Son of the Rivers and Lakes is Black and White
In the second year of Tianyou, the dynasty was opened after the Shangyuan Festival, and it was a different scene in the court, the special Xiangguo seat had been removed, and on the first day of the dynasty, Lu Yuanzhi did not go to the court. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The limelight in the hundred officials is gradually deviating, and some wall grasses can just take advantage of Lu Yuanzhi's invisibility to curry favor with Yin Jiheng.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, King Jin Xuan and Qiao Huai'an walked alone, looking at the crowd in front of him, he smiled and said: "The Yin family has a favorite concubine and has made a contribution to escort the family, why don't you go and stammer, Brother Qiao, don't you stammer with the number one celebrity in your Yushitai?"
Qiao Huai'an clasped his hands and smiled: "The position of power is easier, Jun's grace changes, who can predict it?
King Jin Xuan stroked his beard and smiled, turned to seem worried, frowned and nodded, and sighed in a low voice: "Yes...... Who can predict what will happen tomorrow? I really regret it, when you wrote three letters to persuade me not to marry the Lu family, I didn't listen...... Now that this situation is like this, I really pity my daughter......"
Qiao Huai'an's mind also became solemn, patted the back of his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The prince should take the little county lord back earlier...... The Lu family, I'm afraid it won't last long......"
……
Gu Qingning arrived at the work to deploy things, Gu Qinghuan went to set up a stall on the street to write, and only Gu Qingxuan and Gu Qingfeng, father and son, were left at home.
They sat opposite each other in the courtyard, Gu Qingxuan taught Gu Qingfeng to play chess according to the score, and during his explanation, Gu Qingfeng only supported his chin with both hands, and looked at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard in a daze.
Gu Qingxuan looked at him and said, "You have been active since you were a child, and you can't stay at home the most, why don't you go out and walk around when you go back to Chang'an this time?" Don't say that you want to honor your father at home, you don't believe it for your father." ”
"Father......" Gu Qingfeng pursed his lips, twisted his willow-like eyebrows, as if he had something on his mind, and only said after a long time: "Actually, before the festival, it wasn't that I couldn't come back because of delays...... Rather, I don't want to come back......"
Gu Qingxuan paused: "What?"
He continued to mutter: "Father, I told you, on the way back, we passed through the area of Shangluo, where the plague was plagued and there was famine everywhere, so the master decided to contribute money and efforts to relieve the disaster, and then we stopped in Shangluo, the matter is serious, there is not enough manpower at all, I want to stay and help them, but I miss you, I want to come back for the festival...... Originally, they all said that they would come back after the disaster, so I wrote a letter saying that I couldn't come back before the Shangyuan Festival, but the master didn't allow it, and he bombed me back......"
Gu Qingxuan continued to play chess, listening to his words, he didn't raise his head, and said deliberately: "Then you are sullen, just because the master forced you to go home for the holiday......?
"It's not. Father, how do you talk angry?" Gu Qingfeng said depressedly.
Gu Qingxuan raised his head, looked at his son, and smiled as if gratified: "Qingfeng, my son, can my father still not understand you? You have seen all the poverty in Shangluo, and when you return to Chang'an, you will see this prosperous city full of drunken gold fans, and you are sad, but you don't want to go out to have a look?"
When his father said that he was thinking, Gu Qingfeng immediately became clear, and he couldn't help nodding: "Yes, yes, father, you said, this is the border of the Great Qi Kingdom, why is the gap so big? Chang'an Luoyang magnates gather to sing songs every night, a peaceful and prosperous era, but what I see outside is not like this? Natural disasters and man-made disasters everywhere, the people are not happy, and the imperial court is ......."
The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he was excited to close the table, Gu Qingxuan hurriedly guarded the chess table, and while putting the chess pieces into the chess box, he said, "Clean up, let's go to Shangluo to see your master." ”
"We, father, are you going too?" Gu Qingfeng was stunned.
He nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going to ask him, I entrusted this little son to him to teach, what is the matter with him driving my son back?"
Gu Qingfeng knew that Gu Qingxuan's health was not yet very good, and he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the bumps in the road, so he hurriedly persuaded him, but how could he persuade him?
Gu Qingxuan asked Tang Bo to pack up on the same day, brought a game of chess, a few pills, a few pens and ink, and a few boxes of silver coins and medicinal materials, and prepared to rush to Shangluo the next day.
At night, Gu Qingning and Gu Qinghuan were surprised to learn of his decision, and his explanation was-
During this period of time, he could not stay in Chang'an.
Because the matter of the Lu family's assassins is still under review, Lu Yuanzhi will never be framed by others, and it is very likely that he will wrestle with the Yin family. He needed to stay away for a while so as not to be implicated by the Yin family.
Gu Qingxuan went to Jiang Yuelou before leaving, Jiang Hechuan was also worried that he was in good health, and he went to that bitter cold place, so he also dissuaded him, but he did not succeed, but was persuaded by him to invest a large sum of silver as disaster relief.
He took a thick stack of silver tickets from Jiang Hechuan and walked out of the private living room on the top floor of Jiang Yue Building, and heard the melodious music in the piano pavilion opposite, so he stopped and heard the song, and then walked slowly to that side.
The people downstairs listened to this song like a heavenly sound, and when the song ended, they all applauded, and the guests on several floors came out of the private room and stood in the corridor looking up at the Qin Pavilion, all admiring how beautifully Miss Jiang played a joyful and bright "Spring Banquet".
Jiang Xiange walked out of the Qin Pavilion and turned around and entered the tea room on the side, but saw Gu Qingxuan sitting alone inside, washing leaves and sencha, looking focused.
"I've seen my uncle. She bowed and sat down across from him.
Gu Qingxuan sighed in a low voice: "The song "Spring Banquet" is more sad than any number of sad songs......"
She froze for a moment and lowered her head: "Uncle...... The string song is obviously playing a happier tune, how can my uncle hear it sad?"
Gu Qingxuan put down the teapot and deliberately asked, "Oh, isn't it?
Jiang Xiange was speechless, so he could only confess and glanced at him: "I...... No...... Uncle is a true bosom friend......"
He said with concern: "Eh, you and the Qingning sisters are both very troubled children, especially you, a delicate heart, the most sentimental, and the most worrying uncle...... When the children are older, they all have things on their minds, and we old guys don't want to ask too much, Xian Ge, uncle, I just hope that you can see everything and relax...... Life and death are fate...... Let the past pass. ”
"Uncle ......"
It turns out that he understands everything.
Jiang Xiange was relieved in his heart, and thought for a while: "Yes, it may be that I have been too bored in Chang'an, and I have nowhere to distract from my worries, I heard that my uncle is going to Shangluo, but I would like to let Xian Ge go with me......?"
Gu Qingxuan hesitated, but still agreed: "It's okay, Xian Ge should just go and relax." However, if you go, you have to change into men's clothes. ”
Pretending to be a man has become a haze for her, she thinks that she will never be like that again, what Jiang Xian Jiang Gu, it is either to hurt her own heart or to hurt the heart of others, but ......
She nodded and smiled, "Okay, Xiaosheng will travel with his uncle tomorrow." ”
……
After the festival, the entire Ministry of Industry is dedicated to the construction of the Tianyi Altar, from top to bottom, such as the war, the site of two shifts day and night, day and night, Gu Qingning often go to the site in person, even if it is night, but also to personally supervise.
When she was busy, she often discussed the fortifications with Lu Yuanze for a long time after the dispersal, as if the two were really just superiors and subordinates, and the crazy things that night were covered up by their busyness and never happened.
But no matter how perfect the disguise is on the surface, she can never escape her own heart, every time she stays in the Shilang Court until the evening, Lu Yuanze accidentally touches her, which can make her heart tear violently.
No, it hurts so much, how can she be allowed to hurt like this alone?
When the two were silent, she couldn't help but look at Lu Yuanze's handsome side face as three-dimensional and clear as a jade carving, different from her childhood infatuation, she just wanted to tear this beautiful skin to pieces, insert the knife in her hand to cut paper and draw into his dark sandalwood official uniform, and twist his heart one by one, just like he did to himself......
At this time, the sky will be dark, in the rainy season of early spring, the rain falls under the eaves and the court is empty, Lu Yuanze went to Shangshuyuan to get literature, I don't know why the delay has not returned, she sat alone in the Shilang Court, the hand of cutting paper was stagnant for a long time, and she looked at the Shilang Gong case full of patterns in front of her in a distracted manner......
The sound of footsteps came from the empty corridor, a light and agile step, accompanied by a warm and pleasant voice: "Husband, husband, I have brought you an umbrella, when will you return home?"
