On the night of the wedding, the guests in the Gu Mansion were full, laughing and laughing, and the crowd of people who came to congratulate came one after another, from the royal family and nobles to the common people, adding a lot of lively popularity to this newly purchased mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Today, the entire capital is talking about this unprecedented family affair, and the young master of the Gu family and Miss Cheng Jia, the golden boy and jade girl, have also been rumored to be good stories overnight.
"Xiao Gu, you are really fast enough, you have only been in the capital for a few months, and you have married the daughter of Master Cheng. I heard that it was the girl who offended the third brother last time, she lowered her head that day and I didn't see her appearance clearly, this time you have to let me take a good look. ”
King Gao Xun of Jin is still alive and fast-talking, which is in stark contrast to the calm and calm Gao Heng beside him.
"Young Master Gu, congratulations, you finally brought Sheng Ge to the front of the painting hall. ”
Gao Heng raised his wine glass seriously and drank it with Gu Hanqing, a rare smile appeared on his face.
"Third brother, don't keep congratulating others, when will you find me a sister-in-law? ”
"Really?"
Gao Heng calmly put down the wine glass, and suddenly grabbed Gao Xun's neck.
"Sixth brother, don't worry, I will enter the palace tomorrow to ask my father and the emperor for marriage, and marry the Anling county lord of the fourth emperor's uncle's family to you. ”
"Huh? do you mean that woman with big shoulders and round waist who wants to eat six bowls of rice for a meal? Don't, third brother, you spare me, this is going to kill you......"
Gao Xun's "miserable" cry echoed all the way through the crimson night, and was soon overwhelmed by the noisy crowd.
Because he drank a lot of wine, Gu Hanqing was already a little drunk. The guests outside were still bustling and noisy. He was worried about Cheng Jinzhi in his heart, so he found an excuse and left the banquet first.
Hibiscus warm tent, according to the wall flower candles, the word "Xi" on the windowsill is particularly bright and eye-catching.
Cheng Sujin sat nervously on the bed with a red hijab, his hands twisting the handkerchief. Although she had already been mentally prepared for this trick of "stealing beams and changing pillars", after all, this time she was telling a big lie and doing a bad thing about lack of morality, if she was not afraid at all, it was false.
At this moment, accompanied by a sound of soft footsteps, Gu Hanqing pushed the door and entered. Cheng Sujin was startled, and hurriedly stopped the movements in his hand to hold his breath and concentrate, it was obviously a cool summer and autumn night, but there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Jin Zhi, I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long. Gu Hanqing closed the door and slowly walked to Cheng Sujin's side, "After my father died, I haven't been so happy for a long time, so I drank a few more drinks tonight, but fortunately, I am still sober and can find my way here." ”
Under the hijab, Cheng Sujin bit his lower lip and wanted to answer, but he didn't know how to speak. Even though her body shape is similar to Cheng Jinzhi, she was lucky enough to hide from the world, but this voice can't be imitated no matter what.
"Jin Zhi, do you know why I am so anxious to marry you?" Gu Hanqing sat down beside Cheng Sujin, "Because I don't want you to stay in Cheng Mansion and suffer anymore, I want to take you out of that cage and let you live a new life." ”
Although these heartfelt words were touching, they pierced Cheng Sujin's heart like a barb, and she pressed her nails into her flesh, and couldn't help but tremble with anger.
"This Cheng Jinzhi, why is she?"
Gu Hanqing, who was beside him, saw that Cheng Sujin still didn't answer, thinking that the girl's family was shy, so he took her hand and put it in his palm to appease. At this moment, the indescribable weirdness of the previous came back to my heart.
The spiritual light in his brain flashed, and he looked at this smooth and delicate Qianqian jade hand, his brows frowned, and his face suddenly became a lot gloomy.
For many years, Cheng Jinzhi has done some rough work in Cheng's mansion, and even if her hands are not scarred, they will never be as delicate and smooth as the hands in front of her.
He looked at the woman in the wedding dress beside him in a daze, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "You are not a golden branch, who are you?"
Gu Hanqing's voice was cold to the bone, and he suddenly let go of Cheng Sujin's hand and reached out to lift the red hijab.
As the red cloth quietly landed, the moment his eyes came into contact with Cheng Sujin, he almost trembled and stood up.
"It's you, why you?!"
Cheng Sujin lowered her head in horror and was silent, although she had already expected this catastrophe, what she didn't expect was that Gu Hanqing, who had always been gentle and elegant, would be so abnormal after learning the truth.
"What about the Golden Branch, what did you do to the Golden Branch, and where is she now?"
Gu Hanqing rushed up and clasped Cheng Sujin's shoulders tightly, and there was a murderous intent in his originally warm eyes, which made people dare not look directly.
"I ask you, where is she, answer me!"
"I... I do not know. ”
"You don't know, how could you not know?" Gu Hanqing smiled coldly, stared at her and gritted his teeth, "Let me tell you, if the golden branch has any three longs and two shorts, don't blame me for not remembering the old love!"
As soon as the words fell, he angrily pushed Cheng Sujin away, broke out of the door without looking back, and disappeared into the night.
Looking at Gu Hanqing's resolute back, Cheng Sujin couldn't help but feel a little remorse in his heart. thought she was in control of everything, but now it seems that she underestimated Gu Hanqing's feelings for Cheng Jinzhi, and at the same time overestimated herself.
.................
The night was as cold as water, and a thunderclap exploded from the sky, carrying a downpour as promised. The surging rain poured down from the sky, but it could not wash away the sorrow and coldness of this world.
As if he heard the call of affection in the distance, at Liu Yuanwai's house, which was a few streets away from Gu's house, this thunder also made Cheng Jinzhi, who was in a coma, regain consciousness.
Feeling that his head was still aching, Cheng Jinzhi touched his sore neck and opened his eyes. It was also a flickering red candle, a bright red happy word, and in a hazy vision, a distorted face suddenly came into view without warning, so frightened that Cheng Jinzhi staggered up from the bed, and the whole person was much more sober.
"You... Who are you?!"
"Tiny... Watch out, you're awake!"
Although the man in front of him is tall and tall, he is not confused by his age, but his expression and movements are very abnormal, and he looks like a mentally incomplete person. Especially the pair of cross-eyed eyes of different sizes embedded in his face, it makes people feel uncomfortable looking at it for a second longer.
At this moment, he was pouting and making a kissing gesture towards Cheng Jinzhi, and the most terrifying thing was that this man was still wearing the wedding dress of worshipping the church.
"What's going on? Playing Beauty and the Beast......"
Cheng Jinzhi twitched the corners of his mouth a few times, and a short body came out from under the crook of his arm.
"Who is your little liver!Who are you? My brother Hanqing, where did you get him? You..."
Halfway through speaking, looking at the festive layout around her, Cheng Jinzhi's mind suddenly flashed a few clips before getting married, which made her quiet immediately.
Zhang and Qiuhua's pretended to be affectionate, the bowl of glutinous rice balls that caused people to fall unconscious, and the stupid man in front of them, everything seemed to be premeditated, and she was the chess piece that was lost in this plot.
"Liu Dong, the stupid son of Liu Yuanwai's family... I am also married today..."
Thinking of this, a cold chill ran down Cheng Jinzhi's spine, which made her feel creepy.
It turns out that up to now, she is the stupidest fool in the world!
"What to do, what should I do?"
The heart seemed to be hollowed out all at once, and even his legs began to lose strength, Cheng Jinzhi sat lonely on the ground and lost his mind, obviously wanting to cry out loud, but he wanted to laugh very much.
Laugh at yourself daydreaming, stupid. laughs at himself at the mercy of others, and is happy and sad.
And Liu Dong on the side looked at her sadly stupidly, moving his thick body while showing a lustful smile.
"No, I'm going to get out of here, and I can't let that old witch's tricks get their way!"
Cheng Jinzhi gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground, and was about to rush out of the door, but Liu Dong suddenly opened his arms and staggered towards her.
"Be careful of your liver, my mother said, to hold her grandson... Hold your grandson..."
Cheng Jinzhi was caught off guard, and was almost knocked to the ground by him, she glanced at it, took the candlestick on the table and yelled at him: "Hug you big-headed ghost! Don't come here, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!"
However, Liu Dong only had the mind of a seven-year-old child, and in the face of Cheng Jinzhi's actions, he thought he was playing with him, and he was happy in his heart, so he pounced even more unscrupulously.
"I didn't expect fools to be!"
Cheng Jinzhi stretched out his leg and kicked over the table in front of Liu Dong, but although Liu Dong's brain was useless, his strength was surprisingly great, and he stepped on the table leg and rushed over, and before Cheng Jinzhi could reach out to push the door, he had already stepped on the skirt and slipped to the ground.
"Be careful with your liver, hold your grandson!"
"Help, Gu Hanqing, where are you, save me!"
Seeing that Liu Dong's huge body was about to press against him, Cheng Jinzhi's eyes closed, and he desperately picked up the candlestick that fell at his hand and aimed it at him. With the sound of metal piercing the skin, Liu Dong's body trembled suddenly, and he pressed heavily on Cheng Jinzhi's body.
"Well... It hurts... It hurts..."
Liu Dong's eyes widened, and he struggled to hold back a few words from his chest, and suddenly his blood surged, and he vomited a mouthful of blood and splashed it on Cheng Jinzhi's bright face.
A strong smell of blood rushed straight to his mouth and nose, Cheng Jinzhi looked down at the candlestick in his hand with a dead face, but found that the spikes on it had penetrated deeply into Liu Dong's heart, and a large pool of blood was gushing out of her chest, staining her beautiful wedding dress red.
