She always felt that something was going to happen, but she couldn't figure it out.
Xia Shi and Ouyang Ren's relationship became closer and closer. Although Xia Shi had never mentioned the matter between him and Ouyang Ren to Gu Juan, Gu Juan also knew that he had been calm for too long.
Something happens.
At this time, it was the height of summer, and the climate here was humid and hot, and Gu Juan was already very afraid of heat, so it was even hotter at this time. is just dressed in a light blue single clothes, in a waterfront Lan Xuan, holding an idle book in his hand to kill time.
If it is said that it is lively in this Ouyang Mansion, there are really a lot of people, but these two ladies are well managed, anyway, Gu Juan has never seen any intrigue on the bright side, if it weren't for Xia Shi's increasingly serious expression.
Gu Juan almost forgot that they came to this place with ulterior motives.
Xia Shi was rarely free today, so he accompanied Gu Juan to this shady place to enjoy the coolness.
In the past, Gu Juan would always find something to say when he had something to say, but today's Gu Juan was indeed extremely silent, which made Xia Shi a little strange, so he asked softly, "Madame, is it hot?"
Gu Juan snorted lightly, and said weakly: "When I was in a hurry before, I had encountered such weather, but I never thought it would be so hot. β
Xia Shi sighed and said: "Since the beginning of spring, it has never rained in Kunming, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will be a drought caused by medicine." β
Gu Juan never thought that there would be a drought in this southwestern place, but Xia Shi said with a wry smile: "Madame knows that when the Xundian Rebellion was in southern Yunnan, there was a once-in-a-century drought, and the tragic situation at that time is still vivid. β
Gu Juan naturally hadn't heard of it, and even for Xia Shi, the disaster that destroyed everything was just a simple sentence in the history book for Gu Juan.
"Thousands of miles of red land, Xundian Changning is full of hunger, and more than 30 people starved to death in an inferior county is already a few. β
The look of compassion on Xia Shi's face, Gu Juan was a little unbearable, she opened her mouth and said, "Maybe it will rain tomorrow, don't worry too much, sir." β
Xia Shi smiled and said, "Madam, this not raining is a great good thing for what we want to accomplish. β
Gu Juan was stunned for a moment, but he never thought that Xia Shi would say such a thing.
Xia Shi sighed slightly, his unfocused eyes looked into the distance, and he said like a dream: "This year, many innocent lives are destined to be lost. β
Gu Juan was silent, and after a while, she spoke: "When Liu Gaozu fled for his life, he kicked one of his sons and daughters out of the carriage three times, and it was only because of Xiahou Chun's protection that the death of these two children was avoided. But such a person is still an emperor, so most of the big people in this world must be ruthless if they want to do something. β
"Madame is right. β
"Is Mr. such a person?" Gu Juan asked, Xia Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly: "If I were such a person, I wouldn't have lost my family a long time ago." β
Gu Juan looked at Xia Shi and didn't know why he suddenly felt a burst of amusement.
"You're so stupid. β
Gu Juan didn't know what he would say this, so that when he recalled this person a long time ago, he would feel unable to let go.
Xia Shi suddenly wanted to play chess with Gu Juan, and Gu Juan naturally agreed.
As soon as he landed a piece, Xia Shi let go of the chess pieces in his hand and asked, "Madam, what kind of person is Brother Wang?"
Gu Juan was stunned, but she never thought that Xia Shi would ask such a question, she always thought that Xia Shi would not take the initiative to mention this person's name in the last days of her life.
But he did.
Gu Juan had to answer, she said: "To a certain extent, Wang Kai is very similar to you, you are both very idealistic and ambitious people, but you are also a little naΓ―ve, and then because of this literati, you seem to be naΓ―ve and lose a lot of things, and finally wake up to a certain extent. β
"Awakening to a certain extent?" Xia Shi's slender fingers tapped back and forth on the chessboard, as if he thought this metaphor was very interesting.
"Because it is to a certain extent, it has not changed completely, so it will definitely suffer more. β
Xia Shi let out a long sigh and said to Gu Juan: "This is a very bad character. β
Although this was a declarative sentence, Gu Juan still wanted to tell him.
"It's a good character. β
Xia Shi was suddenly stunned, and he said softly: "Then can I think so, if Madame hadn't met Wang Kai, maybe there would be a difference between us?"
Xia Shi looked at Gu Juan, those eyes were plain, but they were turbulent, Gu Juan really couldn't bear to say anything to hurt him, after all, Gu Juan could also see that Xia Shi was dying. Some time ago, Gu Juan even saw him coughing up blood.
What about her?
"Yes. β
Xia Shi excitedly took Gu Juan's hand, wanting to say something, but he couldn't say it, all he wanted was just hope.
Maybe in the next life, God will look at the misery of his lonely life, and let him meet Gu Juan in advance, although they can't stay together in this life, but everything in the world has a reincarnation, and they will definitely meet.
It's just that Gu Juan has never told Xia Shi that she Gu Juan has never believed in ghosts and gods in her life.
There are so many injustices in the world, and I have never seen the gods and demons appear in the heavens.
This meager lovesickness, but who will care.
In short, people die like lights out. All she could do was let him have his last moment.
Ouyang Ren found all kinds of rare medicinal materials, and he really wanted to praise Xia Shi for his strategy, this time in the battle between Ouyang Ren and Liu Anren, Ouyang Ren had the upper hand, and the Yang Ge elder in the capital was even ready to start working.
As we all know, this Liu Anren is very old, and he will be able to return to the imperial court in a few years, even if he is a scholar, but it is not an exaggeration, and this future Shangshu and Xia Yan are old.
Southern Yunnan all transferred Tongzhi because of dereliction of duty, and for some reason it was mentioned to the surface, this Tongzhi is Liu Anren's classmate, and he has a deep friendship.
Ouyang Ren strongly advocated the heavy sentence, and under this ruffle, Xia Shi really tried all his methods, and finally let Liu Anren not get a bargain.
Ouyang Ren was naturally very happy and rewarded Xia Shi with a lot of gold and silver treasures.
Among them, there are also some extremely valuable silk from the south of the Yangtze River, which naturally fell into the hands of Gu Juan, this batch of silk is a tribute, and even the second lady and Mrs. Wang have never gotten a horse, but Gu Juan got three horses at once.
It made the ladies of the back house curious.
