Li Can gathered his clothes, gently pushed his shoulders a few times and said, "Let's go, they have been scattered for a long time, and if you don't go back, Ah Min will think you have lost it." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info shouted out when the time came, Ah Tan should be worried. ”

He moved a few times, but the other party didn't react. He couldn't help but look down, and by the few rays of starlight remaining in the sky, he saw that her cheeks were as bright as peach and plum, her eyelids were covered, her lips were stupidly open, and the rich aroma of wine in her mouth sprayed outward with her exhalation, and her cheeks bulged out like goldfish in water. She slept soundly, her chin stuck on his shoulder, and her hands wrapped around his right arm, holding his arm in her arms like a pillow. Her sleeping posture is as straightforward and lovely as her temperament.

Li Can shook her head helplessly and smiled, pulled out the arm she was clenching tightly in her hand, her body lost its center of gravity, and plunged into his arms. A warm cheek blocked his heart, and an indescribable strange feeling hit his heart like a stream of air.

Like Shi Jiaheng and Gu Chaomin, he is also famous for not being close to women among the noble sons of Chang'an, and the other two are one who has a heart, and the other is that he hates women, and he is purely troublesome, in other words, he is lazy - too lazy to coax, too lazy to guess, too lazy to deal with it, and he is too lazy to even act hypocritically. Over time, a group of noble ladies who fell in love with him knew that he was difficult to approach, and they did not eat soft and hard, and gradually stayed away.

And Lin Yueyuan is different, in all fairness, getting along with her does have a sense of joy, his cold arrogance and loneliness, mean and bitter in front of her not only do not need to be concealed, but can be played more vividly. She is always straightforward, and she gets stronger and stronger when she is strong, unlike other women who are like vases, who can cry with a white eye, and who will look for death and life with a cold word, which makes him both disdainful and annoying. The verbal confrontation between the two of them sometimes made him angry, and sometimes made him excited. His stinginess has never been restrained because the other party is a woman, because he has never treated her as a woman, but when his arm passes through her waist and knee, he can really feel that the other party has a woman's softness and softness, which has nothing to do with temperament, has nothing to do with words, it is innate, and the beauty unique to women.

He stood straight on the roof, holding her in his arms, his face flushing uncontrollably, but he didn't seem to realize the change in his heart.

Li Can passed through the low woods and grass on the side of the road, cautiously avoiding the inner prison and the maids along the way. But when passing by the back door of Tanxiang Palace, he was still exposed to Li Tan's gaze.

Li Min is Lin Yueyuan's closest friend in this palace, and she naturally knows seven or eight points of her distress, she originally wanted to excuse herself from being sick at tonight's family banquet, but Li Min persuaded her to be sure to look at her brother's affection and play a good role. She had to reluctantly attend for Lin Risheng, although she never gave her brother a good face during the banquet, but Gu Mengying's knowledge of books and etiquette, gentle and amiable, was impeccable for a while, and the two looked at each other across the table as a couple. But Gu Guifei's domineering, Lin Chang's hypocrisy and autocracy, Lin Shufei's cowardice and flattery, and Lin Risheng's cowardice and restraint still made her feel extremely depressed.

Li Tan was ill, only saw relatives at home, said a few words, ate a few mouthfuls of food, and was sent back by Concubine Lin Shu after seeing the ceremony. Although he didn't meet Lin Yueyuan often, he also cared about his cousin's diet and mood changes through Li Min all the time, and when he learned that she was unhappy, he ordered Xingxing to secretly pay attention to and remind her, so that she would not be able to control it for a while and cause trouble. But he has always taken good care of Li Tan, but he was a little distracted at today's banquet and waited until Lin Yueyuan disappeared for a long time before he came to return.

At this time, Zhu Xing has been by his side for two years, she works hard, and her meticulous care of Li Tan makes her quickly promoted to a female official, and she is the head of the maids in Tanxiang Palace. But this time, Li Tan severely reprimanded her carelessness in front of many maids, she cried silently, and walked away angrily after receiving the punishment she had thought about behind closed doors. Li Tan had nothing to do with her, so he had to order the guards in Tanxiang Palace to look for her quietly, but coincidentally, Li Can didn't know where to go.

With Li Tan commanding the overall situation, the panicked Li Min was anxiously waiting in the Tanxiang Palace, and in a hurry, she also ordered someone to park the boat leading to Shuangyanxie and Shifeng Pavilion by the lake at the back gate of Tanxiang Palace.

Just as the two were waiting at the back door for the guards to bring someone back to the boat, Li Can appeared, still holding the drunk Lin Yueyuan in his arms, and Li Tan's face changed at that time.

He stared at Li Can's clothes that were scraped by branches and grass when he shuttled through the woods, as well as Lin Yueyuan, who was also messy at the hem of his clothes in his arms, and the suspicious flush on the faces of the two, and only squeezed out a sentence for a long time: "Ah Can, it turns out that you are together, we are easy to find." ”

This ambiguous semantics made Li Can's face blush even more, and he handed over the sleeping Lin Yueyuan to the maids, explaining: "She was drunk and fell on the side of the road, and I just happened to see her and brought her back." ”

"Oh." Li Can's abnormal performance aggravated Li Tan's suspicions, if he said that sentence calmly, it would still be a little credible, such a cowardly explanation, and his embarrassed expression made him vaguely have a bad prediction.

But looking back, if the two of them can become a couple, it is actually not a happy thing, his reason thinks so, but it is difficult to reach a consensus on emotions: he just can't be happy from the heart.

Li Can was also surprised by his behavior, the two of them were obviously innocent and upright, and they didn't do anything ulterior, they just drank and chatted, and they were originally straightforward and frank, but he was a little weak for no reason, especially when Li Tan looked at him with such eyes, he was even more panicked.

He later attributed his chaotic reaction to his own face, and the two people, who were originally incompatible, suddenly reconciled in front of everyone, turned enemies into friends, and it was difficult to ensure that he would not be laughed at, so he behaved abnormally in order to protect his face, and he accepted this reason very satisfactorily.

Fortunately, Lin Yueyuan, who drank a lot of meat and vegetables, woke up the next day and completely forgot what happened after he got drunk last night. When she went to return the folding fan that Li Can asked Chu Yunxi to draw, she was still lukewarm to him, of course, he continued to quarrel with her, and the relationship between the two seemed to have returned to the original point, but since then, he has shown his attention to her from time to time, but he has been seen by Li Tan, who is as careful as dust.

The bright red carpet on the road to Gufu seems to be the road to success that he paved for his son, but it is actually a selfish ladder he has created to realize his long-cherished wish for many years.

At the moment before putting on the wedding dress, Lin Risheng was still immersed in last night's dream, this strange dream had been appearing in his sleeping night for many days since he was announced that he was going to marry Gu Mengying.

In the dream, he stood behind a completely closed door, and it was pitch black and he couldn't see, and suddenly a light was projected in front of him, and a drop of water dripped from his eyes, and fell at his feet, and the drop of water was only the size of a grain of rice, but it did not dry up when it fell on the ground, but kept seeping out like a spring in the ground, and in an instant a wide and boundless lake surrounded him, and he struggled to fall into the lake, and his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were filled with salty water, and often when he was about to suffocate, he covered his neck and woke up. This nightmare that haunted him for a long time made him feel more and more in a trance, and this huge mental torture made him unbearable, and he even ran to the divination stall on the street to solve it, but the fortune teller told him that it was a good omen to meet water in a dream before marriage, and after marriage, the husband and wife got along like a fish in water, and the marriage would be happy and long. But it still couldn't dispel his sorrows.

Those tedious and complicated wedding etiquette just look at it and feel exhausted, let alone really put it into practice, until the dark night, the wedding is finally over. He and the bride sat side by side on the edge of the bed, the festive flame on the desk burned warmly on the dragon and phoenix candles, the red tent danced in the room, the crimson concentric knots coiled above the head, and the whole new room was rendered red as a rose.

After lifting the hijab and drinking the wine, the bride maids retreated, and the door was gently closed. The wedding room suddenly became empty and quiet, and this was the most intimate moment for the bride and groom, but at this time, Lin Risheng did not feel any excitement, he only felt extremely bored, and he couldn't wait to fall into bed and sleep in the dark. His stiff cheeks were sore, and his smile against his heart was so tired, but it was a pity that he would have to maintain such a hypocritical smile all year round in the future, and live with the people he hated.

He felt hopeless at the thought that he would live in such a hopeless environment in the future, and he stared blankly at the red date lotus seeds sealed under the big red happy characters on the table opposite, and sat weakly.

Gu Mengying sat with her head bowed with the heavy phoenix crown in a nervous, apprehensive and shy mood. She tugged at the hem of her clothes with both hands, quietly glancing at him with her peripheral vision, and then her cheeks blushed and her head drooped deeper.

After sitting for a long time, Gu Mengying finally couldn't help but look up, followed his dull eyes all the way, and found that his focus had been focused on the food on the opposite table, and she naturally thought that he was hungry after a tiring day. She smiled shyly, then sat up again, and asked softly, "Xianggong, are you hungry, do you want to ask the maid to bring some food?" ”

Lin Risheng came back to his senses in a daze, and then remembered that there was still his newly married bride sitting next to him. He replied a little inarticulate because of nervousness: "Oh, no, I'm not hungry, don't disturb others, those attendants have also worked hard all day, let them rest." ”

He easily exposed the pure essence of his heart with a few unintentional words, which surprised Gu Mengying very much, she secretly glanced at the side face of her newlywed husband: the high bridge of the nose lined his face like a ridge, the white skin was inlaid with ruddy lips like oleanders blooming in the spring mountains, his eyes were full of melancholy and melancholy, as if he was a poet who was worried about the country and the people, and the temperament made her infinitely intoxicated and infinitely happy.

Lin Risheng felt her sweet and gentle gaze lingering on his face, he looked at her slightly, although the two had met at the family banquet, but the shyness and reserve were in the middle, so that even if the two were close, they didn't even see their appearances clearly. Even though he was sitting together as husband and wife today, he still didn't dare to look at his wife too presumptuously, but only glanced at him a few times like a voyeur.

The willow eyebrows and apricot eyes are quiet and beautiful, and the cheeks are smiling and rippling. Gu Mengying has both Chu Yunxi's Duanli Lanxin and Chen Siyu's delicate and exquisite, especially the water-bathing pupils at first glance, which is quite a bit of Chu Yunxi's Yongxue.

It is undeniable that she is also a woman with unparalleled beauty.

Lin Risheng was not used to the two of them turning from strangers to close relatives, and they didn't know what to say for a while. Gu Mengying was full of anticipation and excitement, but she didn't dare to take too much initiative, so she could only sit with him like this. It wasn't that she felt dull, but her neck ached from the weight of her head full of jewels and gold ornaments, and she had been living under the pressure of the bride's teaching and supervision for several months before the wedding, and her hair had fallen out a lot more than usual, until yesterday's tense night of sleeplessness. And his husband has no experience in conjugal life at all, and lacks meticulous consideration for her. She did not resent, but was full of love for him. She gently thumped her waist to give him a hint, but he just sat with a frown, as if there was an important problem that had been haunting his mind.

She didn't want to disturb him thinking, but she couldn't support it, and said softly: "Xianggong, can you help me take off the phoenix crown?" ”

She called twice in a row, and Lin Risheng realized that she was snubbing the bride, hurriedly made up for it, and reached out to help her remove the heavy hair ornament on her head. She took advantage of the interval between tidying up her hair to have an idea, and followed this action to open the topic of their exchange: "I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to get married, Xianggong, do you have so many etiquettes for getting married in your hometown?" ”

This question touched Lin Risheng's heartstrings, he thought of the scene on the day his father took a concubine, and was silent for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem to be." ”

He fell silent again, his lips pursed tightly, and his overly serious appearance seemed to suppress his anger. His appearance made Gu Mengying slightly worried, she pressed her arm against him, and asked with concern, "Are you tired, why do you look sullen?" ”

He let out a long sigh listlessly, "yes, it's really tiring. ”

Gu Mengying looked at him with love and smiled: "I also feel tired, but sometimes I forget about tiredness because I am happy." Why are you upset? ”

He looked back at her blankly, and hesitantly replied, "I...... I guess I'm happy. ”

His tone was so uncertain, her joy was suddenly extinguished by the cold water in her pocket, and her voice lowered: "Is it because of my brother?" So you're angry? ”

Gu Chaomin's hostility towards him has deepened since the two met for the first time. And after listening to the tragic ending of Qing Ulva, his attitude towards him has developed from simple dislike to disgust now. His temperament has always been gentle and tolerant, and he rarely contradicts others, but Gu Chaomin's attitude of contemptuous of human life is precisely what he is most difficult to tolerate as a doctor, so the contradictions between the two have long developed in private to the point that it is difficult to reconcile, if it were not for the pressure of the marriage between the two families, the two must have drawn a clear line and stopped interacting. So he was sandwiched between the two families and had to take into account his wife's face and feelings and say something against his will: "Don't think too much, it's just a small misunderstanding between us." ”

But both of them are people who are not good at hiding their likes and dislikes of their feelings, how could the smart Gu Mengying not know the helplessness in his words. The two of them are now her closest people, and she has to try to close the distance between the two: "That time on the street, you were whipped by your eldest brother's horsewhip in order to save people, and I saw it all in the car sitting behind." It was my eldest brother who was wrong, although he had a violent temper, but he was very good to us younger siblings, he was a good person, but he was stubborn, and it was inevitable that he would not be likeable. ”

Lin Risheng said disapprerovingly: "Your eldest brother's temperament is indeed a little gloomy. He is your relative, and it is understandable for you to defend him, but it is difficult for me to comment on his character. ”

Gu Mengying paused, thought for a moment, and came out eloquently: "Actually, my brother wasn't like this before. I still remember that when my brother first came to the house, his honest face was tanned, and his physique was tall and strong, far more energetic than those children of the scholar clan who were pampered in Luoyang City. He was dressed in a neat and coarse cloth garment, and he followed his mother, shy and silent. Although he grew up in the countryside, he did not suffer from any vulgar habits. He has been learning martial arts from a martial artist in the countryside since he was a child, and after entering the house, he is also very diligent in following Mr. Xi's literacy, and learning and martial arts go hand in hand, and finally became one of the most promising descendants of the Gu family. I had tried to persuade him, but since my brother died, I knew that he would never be able to return to his former sunny country boy. ”

Lin Risheng listened very carefully, and Gu Mengying also spoke very emotionally. He heard many clues in her words, but he didn't expect that the Gu family, who was invincible and had no one in his eyes, also had such a bumpy experience. He curiously asked about the incomprehension in her words: "My brother is the eldest son of the Gu family, how can he grow up in the countryside since he was a child, and how can he be looked down upon and despised by others?" And why did the younger brother die and die violently? Act of God? Man-made disaster? What you mean is that he became what he is because of his own reasons, not his fault. If this is the case, could it be that there is really a misunderstanding in the middle? ”

His constant questioning finally gave her something to say, she smiled and persuaded him to listen patiently, and slowly began to meet: "This matter is a long story, if you want to hear me tell you slowly." This is also a secret of our Gu family, my brother is indeed the eldest son of the Gu family, but not a son-in-law, his mother is a country flower girl, born in a poor family, not rich or expensive, and then I taught her a few words in my spare time, she will write her maiden name Lijuan.

At that time, the emperor had just ascended the throne in Luoyang, because the administration was too strong and impatient, which provoked Cui, Han, and Wei The three major Luoyang scholars were against each other, and they privately united with the palace guards to force the palace, and learned from Cao Cao to coerce the prince who had just been born for 100 days to order the princes. At that time, the Gu family had already married the royal family, so they naturally could not be at the mercy of others, so they resolutely supported the holy drive, and the two sides fought fiercely on the outskirts of the city. My father was injured and missing, met my brother's biological mother Aunt Li, rescued by him, and later Aunt Li married him in order to protect his father from the blame of the men in the village, and had an elder brother the next year, but my father returned to Luoyang after his injuries healed, and continued to lead the Gu family to resist, after the emperor moved the capital to Chang'an, he married the daughter of the Qi family as the queen, and with the help of the Qi family, the three major families in Luoyang were suppressed. His father's achievements were high, and he became the head of the Gu clan in Luoyang.

My older brother lived with his mother in the countryside until he was seven years old. Because of Aunt Li's humble background, his father was reluctant to admit this son, but because his father worked hard all the year round and had no children under his knees, and his grandmother was seriously ill but he was always concerned about this time. My father was forced to borrow my brother to come back, which was one of the reasons why my father didn't like my brother. The father was strict with his brother to the point of being almost harsh, and did not allow the brother to make the slightest mistake, otherwise he would be punished with rattan whips, and when something unpleasant happened, nameless anger would be drawn to their mother and son. Aunt Li had a bad time in those years, and Shaohua passed away at an early age. The father's wife has never been born, so he recognized his brother as a parent, and the elder brother became the eldest son and grandson of the Gu family in the name of it. ”

After listening to Gu Mengying's detailed description, Lin Risheng actually felt a little sympathy for Gu Chaomin, and the two were actually connected by the same fate - both of them were equally disliked by their fathers, and the deaths of their mothers were also related to their fathers' affection, and their fathers were also equally domineering and domineering, and they rarely loved their wives and children. They have been chasing fame and fortune all their lives, ignoring family affection and love, advocating fame, and being unrighteous and unkind.

The elder brother refused to accept his fate, and worked hard religiously, hoping to get his father's approval one day. But it backfired, and another accident occurred, which completely deteriorated the relationship between the two. ”

"This matter has something to do with the death of your little brother?"

Gu Mengying nodded sadly, wiped her eyes, and choked up: "The year after my brother came home, my father really got a son, who is the younger brother. The younger brother has admired and feared his father since he was a child, and he is obedient to his father, and his character is not like his father, and his father loves him. The two brothers also have a very strong relationship, and with the persuasion of the younger brother, it is rare for the two to get along well in those years. But when the younger brother died in an accident when he was thirteen years old, his father insisted that it was the elder brother who killed the younger brother and almost killed the elder brother with his own hands. If it weren't for the persuasion of our relatives, my brother would have been gone. Since then, there has been no place for him at home in Luoyang, so he went to Chang'an in a fit of anger, and later relied on the prince to have today. And during the years when his brother was away, his father always ignored him. And now that my father has re-entered Chang'an, and the two of them want to live under the same roof like enemies, my brother is naturally uneasy, if one day his resentment is angry at you, you must be responsible, don't be angry. ”

Lin Risheng nodded, and his hatred for Gu Chaomin was reduced a lot. He looked at Gu Mengying's crimson eyes and peach-colored cheeks, and felt the warmth and affection reflected in her words and eyes. She is not only a noble lady with outstanding appearance, but also a beautiful girl with a kind heart, and she will surely become a virtuous wife and a kind mother in the future. He stared at the shy smile under his hot gaze, and couldn't help but hold her hands.

She couldn't help but tremble, and a warm stream of heat rose from her body. Their heads slowly approached, her hands clasped tightly behind his. As his lips were about to touch her cherry lips, he moved a little away, one last glance at her face, and slowly closed his eyes.
