Chapter 1214 Medusa
This time Cheng Xiaoyu paid attention to the confidentiality of his itinerary, no one knew in advance that he had come to the capital, but Xiao Yu informed Xu Qinning in advance, Miss Xu's goal in Huaxia was too big to pick up the airport. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Besides, Cheng Xiaoyu arrived late, and he didn't want Xu Qinning to go back in the middle of the night.
Before coming to the capital, Cheng Xiaoyu still agreed to go to the courtyard arranged for him by the Shanghai Municipal Government, he wanted to refuse, but the movement in the hotel was too big, so he obeyed Gu Xueren's arrangement.
When I arrived in the capital in the early morning, this ancient city was brightly lit and the traffic was turbulent and I had not yet fallen asleep, sitting on the business car, looking at the heart of this Chinese sunk in gray, Gu Xueren, who was sitting on the side, looked at the misty night outside the window and said: "Every time I go back to the capital, my mind will ring the song "ONE NIGHT IN BEIJING" that you wrote, this is the most suitable song for the capital that I have heard outside of growing up, modern and classical, pop and Peking opera....."
Cheng Xiaoyu's sense of the capital is not very good, and it is no wonder that the Su family has always been like a feather pressing on his heart, although it is not heavy, but it is uncomfortable to scratch, he followed Gu Xueren's words and said with some regret: "The capital should still be a sub-city back then, if the old capital is completely preserved, what a beautiful thing.....
The contact with Gu Xueren these days, it is difficult for Cheng Xiaoyu to hate this third-generation elite of Huaxiahong, he has never said Su Yuxi in front of Cheng Xiaoyu, and he only talks about business when he talks about business. In his spare time, he approached Cheng Xiaoyu just right, not too much, and not cold.
To tell the truth, no matter what he says, how he behaves, what his abilities are, ignoring the memories he has, Cheng Xiaoyu feels that he is really inferior to this proud son of the sky.
Occasionally, when he was alone, he imagined that one day Su Yuxi might marry a wife, but such thoughts only passed through his mind, and Cheng Xiaoyu didn't have the courage to think about it after all.
Even he had made up his mind countless times to be a good brother.
The capital at midnight is not congested, with spacious avenues, glorious gatehouse archways, and magnificent palaces, everything seems to tell a distant and long historical story.
The buildings of the capital are scattered, the contrast between the old Beijing in the near and the high-rise buildings in the distance, as if shuttling between the past and the future, everything is new, like a moment of light when the silkworm breaks through the cocoon.
Gu Xueren talked to Cheng Xiaoyu along the way about the history of the city, starting from the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period (770 BC - 476 BC), Jicheng, the capital of the Yan Kingdom, until 1260 AD, Genghis Khan's grandson Kublai Khan led a large army to the capital again, and saw that the central capital was already "filled with rubble and thorns into a forest", this eloquent Mongolian emperor resolutely decided to abandon the old city - to build a new capital.
Cheng Xiaoyu doesn't know much about the history of the capital, but the only thing that impresses him is Emperor Chongzhen, who hanged himself on the coal mountain, and the famous Ming ancestral motto: "No harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies."
When I arrived at the east of the Forbidden City, this well-located courtyard house on Beichizi Street, looking at the conspicuous yellow-brown wooden gate and gray wall outside, Gu Xueren got out of the car with a small bag and said with a smile: "Under normal circumstances, only officials and important foreign guests above the ministerial level are accepted here. ”
Cheng Xiaoyu got out of the car, and several beautiful waiters wearing black suits and bright silk scarves around their necks, like flight attendants, were already waiting at the door, and when they saw him, they immediately held their hands on their waists and bowed and shouted softly: "Welcome to Director Cheng." ”
Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the past, all of them were dignified and beautiful in appearance, and graceful and graceful flower letter girls, which made Cheng Xiaoyu sigh No wonder so many people are greedy for power.
The car drove directly to the exclusive underground garage, Cheng Xiaoyu and Gu Xueren entered the courtyard under the leadership of the staff, the towering courtyard wall needs to look up, the surrounding residential buildings are shorter than this courtyard, and the ancient lamps and lanterns inside emit a silent light.
Cheng Xiaoyu was arranged to sleep in the best second-floor room by the moat, this spacious room has a balcony, standing here, you can clearly see the vermilion walls of the Forbidden City, and the golden glazed tiles.
After Gu Xueren sent Cheng Xiaoyu up, he didn't waste much time, and said directly: "Director Cheng, when are we going tomorrow?" ”
Cheng Xiaoyu really hadn't participated in any high-level farewell ceremonies, and said with questions: "Is there anything important?" ”
Gu Xueren hesitated for a moment and said: "If you just send a wreath, you don't have to pay attention to it, I will prepare this for you, and how to write the couplet?" ”
Cheng Xiaoyu knew what Gu Xueren meant, he didn't enter the Su family tree, he couldn't count the Su family, sending a wreath was already benevolent and righteous, and he would never do it if he was asked to wear linen and filial piety, even if he didn't get today's achievements, he wouldn't stick it upside down in order to cling to the powerful.
He thought for a while and said frankly: "That's really troublesome for you, Team Leader Gu, to be honest, I don't know much about Old Man Su's life, or you can help think of one!" ”
Gu Xueren nodded, set to pass at ten o'clock in the morning, and said goodnight goodbye, he and Cheng Xiaoyu's bodyguards all slept on the first floor, although there was no problem for him to sleep in the suite on the second floor with higher specifications, but Gu Xueren never did anything to break the rules.
Cheng Xiaoyu and Gu Xueren, who had their own concerns, slept in the upper and lower rooms, and it was difficult to sleep.
Regarding the sense of alienation between Cheng Xiaoyu and the Su family, he already knew that the matter of the Su family had already been repeated in Sijiu City now, and at Su Dongshan's funeral tomorrow, no important people would appear, at most, he would send a secretary to send a wreath.
If it weren't for the opportunity of Cheng Xiaoyu to come, Gu Xueren was afraid that he would have to take a lot of risks to attend, and he had only heard about Su Weilan's matter recently, because he had never liked to listen to these gossips and gossip, so he only learned about it after watching the news.
Then he consulted his grandfather's secretary, only to know that the Su family was in big trouble, but Gu Xueren felt that this was an opportunity, and he thought that this was an opportunity for him to perform, maybe he could use this to impress Su Yuxi, how could the eldest prince Gu never think that all this was from Su Yuxi's hands.
He also knew that the Su family was involved in the espionage case and was basically helpless, and he insisted on marrying the granddaughter of the Su family at this time, which was to set up obstacles to his political future, but he was not burdened at all.
First, he has the confidence to solve problems; Second, power is only a means for him to realize his ideals, not his pursuit.
However, Gu Xueren also knew that at this time, the identity of his Gu family was no longer the help of marrying Su Yuxi, but the biggest obstacle, because the elders of his family would definitely not agree to him marrying a woman from a fallen family with a huge stain.
Although Cheng Xiaoyu's achievements are not small, Su Yuxi is a member of the Su family's political family after all.
At this time, Gu Xueren didn't know that "Xi Yu" was also Cheng Xiaoyu's, but it was useless to know it, because all the high-level Huaxia leaders who knew about it believed that "Xi Yu" was the Xu family's sphere of influence, and Cheng Xiaoyu would marry Xu Qinning in the future.
None of this has anything to do with Su Yuxi, Su Yuxi's identity belongs to the Su family, not Cheng Xiaoyu's sister who has been separated from the Su family.
Gu Xueren lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, remembering Cheng Xiaoyu's "Titanic", and laughed at himself in the dark, he didn't deliberately flatter Cheng Xiaoyu, but liked it in his heart, he also knew that he had a deeply hidden Shake M attribute, the more he loved him, the less he loved him, and the more he didn't hold him, the more he cared.
However, Cheng Xiaoyu and Su Yuxi, the two siblings, have the same attitude towards him, lukewarm, and do not deliberately pose as giants thousands of miles away, but always use actions and words to express the sense of distance.
Relatively speaking, Cheng Xiaoyu is better to get along with, so that people can see the hope of approaching, but it is Su Yuxi, every time Gu Xueren sees her, he always feels that she is the star in the sky, although her eyesight can reach her, but she is far away I don't know how many light years.
Cheng Xiaoyu, who was one floor away from Gu Xueren, was also tossing and turning, unable to sleep, he had imagined countless scenes of his reunion with Su Yuxi, but he never thought that it would be at a funeral.
At the end of March, the heating in the capital had stopped, and the night in the capital in April was still very cool, Cheng Xiaoyu opened the bright yellow folding wooden door of the balcony, and the sparkling waves of the moat shimmered in the cold wind with warm lights.
He was lying in the quilt, even with his eyes closed, he seemed to be able to feel the dazzling colors of the light flowing on the river, sleep was a lonely journey, like walking in a long tunnel of darkness and silence, Cheng Xiaoyu ushered in the morning of the capital in countless tangled hearts, half-asleep and half-awake.
Even though he didn't sleep well, Cheng Xiaoyu felt that he was full of energy, he looked in the mirror, except for a little dark circles under his eyes that were not too obvious, he still looked quite good.
looked at the time, but it was past six o'clock, Cheng Xiaoyu walked to the balcony, the sky was gloomy, and there was no sign of dawn, only the morning light disguised by neon and street lights, Cheng Xiaoyu looked towards the Forbidden City, and the woman in his heart should also get up at this time and plan to go for a run.
Cheng Xiaoyu was alone in the silence listening to the sound of the capital waking up, he did not wait for the bright sun, but the gray sky instead fell fine and dense raindrops, and the world was filled with the laughter of window lattices, tiles, walls, streets and leaves.
Cheng Xiaoyu can occasionally see through the gray rain curtain that the impatient migratory birds have begun to return north, and this year is almost summer in the blink of an eye.
Hearing the noise of people and cars, he went back to the house, washed his hair and washed it, bathed carefully, then dried his hair, and cleaned himself up finely, Cheng Xiaoyu had forgotten how long it had been since he cared so much about his appearance.
He put on a white shirt, a pure black Versace slim suit with horizontal stripes, and he stared at the Basilisen Medusa logo at the heart of the dressing mirror, as if this would help him resist the danger of being silently petrified....
