Hua Xun happily stepped out of the door, but he couldn't find his maid Bai Qi, and only a man dressed as a soldier came to deliver the letter. She glanced left and right, but still didn't see Bai Qi, the street outside Gu's mansion was empty, she frowned suspiciously, looked at the soldier and asked, "Did Zhong Ci send you here?" ”

The soldier looked at her like this, it should be the person he was looking for, and he immediately saluted: "I have seen the county lord of Huai'an." Back to the county lord, the villain was ordered by the county lord, and the county lord asked the little one to bring a message to the county lord. ”

When Hua Xun heard that it was Chu Yan's person, her eyebrows and eyes soothed, and she said to Gu Shangru who was standing beside her: "Bai Qian thought that he stayed at Zhongci's place to obey orders. She couldn't stop being proud and happy between her words, and she didn't care about being in front of the Gu Mansion, and asked directly, "What did the county lord ask you to bring me?" Say it quickly! ”

The soldier glanced at Hua Xun, fell to his knees suddenly, gritted his teeth and said: "The county lord said the word 'wait for leisure', the county lord is smart, but he will understand." ”

Lightly? Lightly......

Hua Xun was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't react, and didn't speak for a while. Finally relented, her face changed greatly, and she took two steps back in amazement, but Zeeland hurriedly stopped her and held her up. She repeated the word "waiting" over and over again in a trance, lost and shocked that she didn't know how to react for a while, her hands and feet were cold, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

Gu Shangru looked at the changes in Hua Xun worriedly, waved his hand to let the soldiers leave, and didn't know how to persuade him worriedly.

Hana stopped talking, turned around on her own, and stumbled into the room.

"Why...... Why ......" Along the way, she was taken back to the house by Zeeland in a daze.

A few maids saw that she was hit again when she went out, and they somewhat guessed what was happening. Lily of the valley rubbed her cold hands distressedly, and Peran Zelan was by her side, and everyone was sad. Gu Shangru let out a long sigh, it's normal for Hua Xun not to understand officialdom, the crown prince is the foundation of the country, who can act rashly? Chu Yan is willing to help her, but he can't resist the opinions of relatives and friends around him and King Ning. What's more, Chu Yan is a woman, he doesn't mean to look down on women, but women have suffered some losses in this dynasty after all, the country is in power, and weak women have no power and power, how can it be successful?

Hua Xun didn't have half a tear in his eyes, but he panicked, looked at Gu Shangru and said disappointedly: "Waiting for leisure, waiting for leisure to change, but the old people's hearts...... Did the deceased really have a heart, or did he ...... But if you have a heart, why ......?"

"Cousin......" Gu Shangru whispered to her distressedly, "Therefore, people's hearts can not be changed by leisure, but they are forced to ...... The county lord is the lucky fortune of King Ning's mansion, and her rash actions will inevitably lead to rivers of blood when the time comes. My cousin is so smart, you should know that she feels guilty about you, but she is not a lucky brocade lang, but she still feels sorry for you, she is really powerless. ”

"Heartless?" Hua Xun raised her eyebrows, sneered, and said with a sad face, "Yes, I know she has a heart." Brother Ke Shangru...... Huafu Wentang couldn't go back, and when he came to Gufu, he didn't expect his grandfather to be so decisive...... Oh, she refused, I naturally know the hardship, but I know, it's the same thing as acceptance......"

Gu Shangru saw her so sad, his lips shook, and his throat choked. He understands, he understands everything, he understands, probably no one doesn't understand, it's just that it's hard to accept such a result.

Hua Xun lowered his head, Gu Shangru couldn't see her expression clearly, so he had to say without pain: "Cousin, maybe things aren't that bad......" Seeing that she couldn't listen, he shook his head, picked up his robe and was about to go out, leaving her alone.

"Brother Shangru." Hua Xun suddenly raised his head and said in confusion, "Even if Zhong Ci wants to reject me, she will never let a pawn come to tell me how could someone as smart as her do such a dangerous thing...... If that pawn is caught doing something bad to her...... Besides, why didn't Bai Qi come back to sue me? ”

Gu Shangru suddenly turned his head, shocked.

"I didn't let my henchmen stay in Ning Wang's Mansion, but I sent an inconsequential pawn to tell me about such an important matter. I'm afraid that Zhong Ci has something to tell me, but he can't say it. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, Chu Yan would definitely not be such an unreliable person when doing things.

"You mean...... Did the county lord deliberately want to send a pawn to express another meaning? Gu Shangru followed Hua Xun's thoughts, "'Waiting for leisure', 'waiting for leisure'...... Wait--sage-? ”

Hua Xun thought of the key point, and suddenly his face softened, but he was still very dignified. She solemnly said to Gu Shangru: "Brother Shangru, early tomorrow morning, we will leave for Chang'an." Something must have happened to her to send the message like this. We're going to do our best! She stood firm.

Although Gu Shangru didn't know what the mystery was, he was also suspicious, and immediately said: "I immediately asked people to prepare, and we will leave for Chang'an early tomorrow morning!" ”

"Hmm!"

Early in the morning, a carriage and a team of guards slowly drove out of the gate of the Gu Mansion, the carriage was very ordinary, with cyan curtains and custom-made frames of the city's timber shops. The horse in front of him was not a tall and mighty military horse, but a southern pony, which was generally suitable for pulling heavy loads, did not have much speed, and ran very slowly. At the front of the car was a driver who had been driving for Gu Fu for many years, and there were two men and two women sitting in the narrow compartment. The man is as warm as jade, with the temperament of reading poetry and books, the female one looks out the window with a worried face, and the other is well-dressed, wearing a cloak and wearing a jade pendant of Huafu around his waist.

The people in this are Gu Shangru, the eldest son of the head of the Gu Mansion, the lord of Huai'an County, Hua Xun, and her maid Lily of the Valley. Gu Shangru sat opposite Hua Xun, watching Hua Xun hold the scroll and look seriously, his black eyelashes as thin as cicada wings were slightly curled, his fair face was vaguely sad, his thin lips were pursed tightly, although his eyes had been staring at the scroll, he was obviously absent-minded and distracted.

Gu Shangru knew that she must be thinking about Chang'an, she must have not slept well all night last night, and the thick tiredness in her eyes was carefully captured by him. The carriage staggered out of the city gate, and Gu Shangru couldn't help but speak: "Cousin, let's rest for a while, the carriage is very bumpy, and if you look at it for a long time, you will get dizzy." ”

"Master, Master Shang is right." Lily of the valley turned her head and looked at Hua and asked.

As soon as the carriage flickered, Hua Xun raised his head, sighed melancholy, shook his head lightly, and said, "But I don't know what I'm going to do if I don't read." I'm in a mess right now, my future uncertain, and I can't calm down. ”

"Master, give me the book, lean on the slave's shoulder and rest for a while, you haven't slept all night, and it will take a whole day to get to the place where you stay." Lily of the valley begged for the book in her hand and adjusted the angle so that she could lean on.

"It's a pity that the carriage is too shaky and crowded...... Gu Fu couldn't find a good carriage, so he could only grieve his cousin. Gu Shangru's face didn't look very happy, Gu Mansion was too frugal, unlike Huafu, a golden car and a jade horse, this carriage was not bad.

Hua Xun knew about the situation in the Gu Mansion and smiled: "How can you say that you are wronged?" My grandfather didn't let us walk to Chang'an, and Wen Tang was already grateful. ”

"Grandfather, he won't be angry with you." Hua Xun's words were half joking and half serious, and Gu Shangru couldn't help but want to say good things for Gu Chong.

Hua Xun smiled slightly, noncommittal.

"Cousin, I don't know what will happen when I go to Chang'an, you must take good care of your body, if you fall ill, there is no point in a qiē." Gu Shangru instructed Hua Xun softly.

"Brother Shangru is so good. My father only got me and Hua Yan, I was okay when I was a child, although my mother was busy fighting with that group of ladies for fear of losing my father's favor and status, my father still loved Wen Tang very much. often shush the cold and ask for warmth, just like Brother Shangru. It was a time when I was really carefree. Later, ...... "Thinking of the sad thing, Hua Xun couldn't help but look a little gloomy, "Everything has changed, Ah Zhi took away his father's favor and killed his mother......" She turned her face, bit her lip and endured not to look weak, cut off the topic, raised a smile and said: "I have always wanted a brother or sister, but I didn't expect Huafu to be unable to satisfy me, and my grandfather's family picked up Brother Shangru!" ”

"Silly girl," Gu Shangru smiled lightly and said softly: "Brother Shangru will take good care of you in the future, you don't need to envy Hua Yan anymore, you are better than him." At the end of his words, he sighed slightly, very lightly, with a slight distress.

Hua Xun lowered his head, a sad smile on the corner of his mouth, and soon regained his calm.

"Brother Shangru, you are a good person, ask Tang to hope that you will be safe and prosperous."

In the morning of King Ning's Mansion, there was already a little frost and white dew, and the flowers and trees looked colorful when they were sunburned, and the dew refracted the light, which was beautiful. The hoarfrost on the roof was soaked by the sun, and there was almost only a thin layer left, and there was no white to see. The grass was wet and smelled fresh. Soldiers in armor walked through the patrol corridor in groups with expressionless faces, their swords pressed into their palms, their ears standing vigilantly, their eyes observing their surroundings.

The door was opened, the maid came out of Chu Yan's room with water, and after a while, Chu Yan, who was neatly dressed, also walked out, stood at the door with his hands in his hand, glanced at the room on the left, stared for a moment and found that there was no movement, and turned to look at the room on the right in confusion, which was also quiet and there was no sound. Chu Yan was puzzled: "Why are they so quiet, haven't you gotten up yet?" I couldn't understand it, so I didn't entangle, and led the maid out of the courtyard. In autumn, the flowers and plants are carefully cultivated, but unfortunately they still can't resist the invasion of the season, the green grass is yellow, the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and the cold air also comes.

Chu Yan walked, remembering what Hua Du said at the dinner that night, and remembering the henchmen he sent who didn't know if he could bring the news to Hua Xun, and thought about it and asked the left and right entourage: "Can the white girl get up?" ”

"Back to the master, it was said that the white girl got up early, went out early, and didn't know where to go."

Chu Yan nodded, looked up and saw that the weather was good, there were no major events during the day, so it was better to go to the pavilion to sit for a while and bask in the sun to soothe his mood. Turning to the Huxin Pavilion, he said straightly: "You go down, I'll go and sit in the pavilion for a while, and tell the kitchen to make some pastries...... By the way, lift my piano out. ”

"Yes."

Stepping on the warm sun, go straight to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
