The empty steps are singing, the empty bamboo is dripping, and it is another year of spring and autumn. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The white begonias in the courtyard have already taken root, and the white petals have been crushed into the soft soil, leaving only the bare branches to shake in the wind, and the next year's late spring will make a comeback, stretching full of fragrance.

Gu Han stood quietly by the curved bridge, the shallow green water reflected his lonely figure, but it couldn't wash away the sadness in the corners of his eyes.

Since that day, he was shocked to learn that Gao Heng's marriage partner was Cheng Jinzhi, and this incident has become the most difficult thorn in his heart. He had tried countless times to stand calmly in front of the two, but in the end, he didn't even have the courage to step out of this door.

At first, he said goodbye without saying goodbye, but now what qualifications does he have to disturb people's dreams?

From childhood to adulthood, there are very few people and things in this world that he cherishes, Gao Heng is one, and Cheng Jinzhi is also one. He was afraid that he would be in a hurry and impulsive, and finally get the answer he was most afraid of, and he would lose the person he least wanted to lose. Just ignore it like this, but you can leave a memory.

Although he knew that one day, all the distractions he had escaped would come like a tidal wave, leaving him with nowhere to hide.

Maybe it's in the near future, maybe it's tomorrow.

"Young master, it's been a few days since you returned to the capital, why are you still closing the door to thank guests? His Royal Highness King Yan has sent people to ask several times. ”

His subordinate Chang Sheng stood behind him, saw him silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"And what did you say?"

Gu Hanqing glanced at him sideways, and then turned his gaze elsewhere.

"Naturally, according to the instructions of the young master, the subordinates said that you were out on business and had not yet returned, and nothing else was mentioned. ”

Seeing that Gu Hanqing didn't answer, Chang Sheng continued: "But young master, just relying on the connections of His Royal Highness King Yan, I think you will soon know that you have returned to the capital, and I am afraid that this strategy of delaying the army will not last long." ”

"Then let it be. Gu Hanqing's eyes condensed slightly, and he muttered for a moment before changing color, "By the way, the food and salaries we need to supervise the construction of military funds have already been submitted to the Ministry of Rites for approval?"

"The young master can rest assured, and they are all presented. It's just that Wei Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is the prince's person, and he knows that you have a great relationship with His Royal Highness King Yan, will you ......?"

Gu Hanqing frowned slightly and said: "I have never participated in the party struggle between princes, and I have no friendship with His Royal Highness in the past year. Whether he is embarrassed or not, give him some sweetness first, take people's money and eliminate disasters with people, he has been an official for so many years, and he won't even understand this truth. ”

Chang Sheng received the order, and Gu Han Qingfu asked again: "What is the news in the city recently?"

"On the surface, the wind is calm, and there is no clue. But there is something that is known to the whole city, and it has been talked about by the streets and alleys, and I don't know if my subordinates should talk about it or not. ”

Chang Sheng subconsciously glanced at Gu Hanqing, with a look of embarrassment.

"It sounds like a funny thing, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"It's about Princess Yan. ”

Gu Hanqing was stunned, listening to the words "Princess Yan", only to feel that his heart was suddenly pricked by a needle, and the stinging pain was unbearable. But in front of his subordinates, he still forced himself to calm down: "Jin Zhishe... What's wrong?"

Chang Sheng said slowly: "In the past few days, it has been rumored in the city that when Princess Yan went to Chengfu Guining the day before yesterday, she transported a lot of pheasants and wild boars as a return gift, which made Chengfu's chickens fly and dogs jump, and scared Cheng's wife into illness." ”

"Really? It's a lot like hers. ”

Gu Hanqing couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, recalling Cheng Jinzhi's voice and smile, and missing her even more in his heart.

"Young master, it seems that the lady is here. ”

Chang Sheng's sudden words pulled back Gu Hanqing's long thoughts. He raised his eyes and saw that Cheng Sujin was completely ignoring the obstruction of the two little guys, and was walking towards him with a fierce attitude.

"Young master, the little one has tried his best to stop it, but the lady still insists on coming ....."

"Got it, go down. ”

Gu Hanqing raised his hand and sent Chang Sheng and the others away, Cheng Sujin had already walked up to him full of grievances, and blurted out: "You have been back for so many days, why do you let those minions hide from me and prevent me from seeing you?"

"Don't you know why?"

Gu Hanqing's tone was cold, and he turned around without looking at her.

Gu Hanqing is not a person who holds grudges, but the deception has become an indelible shadow in his life. Not only because he lost his love, but also because it was the Cheng family who had always been regarded as his closest relatives who invited you to the urn.

He did not embarrass the Cheng family in person, embarrassed the Zhang family, did not have a letter of resignation to order the divorce of his wife, and let Cheng Sujin live in the Gu Mansion for her food and clothing. No matter how Cheng Sujin dedicates his affection and lowers his posture, in Gu Hanqing's view, he has a kind of hateful hypocrisy and artificiality, which is disgusting.

Looking at Gu Hanqing's indifferent back, Cheng Sujin sighed heavily, and said with red eyes: "From the time I married into the Gu family to the present, you have never looked at me with a straight eye. You've been gone for a whole year, leaving me alone in this empty home and being left out in the cold, and I've written so many letters to you, and every one of them has been lost. Now that you're back, you won't even see me, I'm the wife you're marrying, don't you even want to pity me?"

"Ming Media is marrying?" Gu Hanqing turned sideways and sneered, "You should know better than anyone else that my Ming Media is marrying Cheng Jinzhi, not you Cheng Sujin!"

"But she is now the woman of His Royal Highness King Yan, and she is the well-known Princess Yan of the world! This is the marriage that His Royal Highness King Yan personally asked His Majesty to give her, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have witnessed it. ”

Cheng Sujin shouted loudly, and the sharp voice was scattered in the wind, stirring the inner wall of Gu Hanqing's heart for a while.

He's all over the same sentence right now.

"This is the marriage that His Royal Highness King Yan personally asked His Majesty to give. ”

"I know you can't forget Cheng Jinzhi for a while, and I also admit that I did it wrong at the beginning. Cheng Sujin almost had a pleading tone. "We still have that long to live, and I will do my best to make you accept me slowly. Can you give me, and give yourself a chance?"

"You go, I want to be alone for a while. ”

It's a pity that Gu Hanqing turned a blind eye to her such a humble posture.

At this moment, Cheng Sujin only felt that someone poured a basin of cold snow water on her head, and the cold penetrated deep into her bone marrow, penetrating her heart, and freezing her body.

"For the sake of a woman who has already married a wife, how long do you have to torture yourself? Cheng Jinzhi now loves King Yan in her heart, not you, why can't you accept the reality? If she really still has you in her heart, why was she willing to agree to marry King Yan in the first place!"

"Enough!"

Gu Hanqing interrupted Cheng Sujin's words impatiently. He took a few steps closer and looked at Cheng Sujin's tearful eyes, every word was extremely clear.

"Even so, I won't love you, never. ”
