Hua Xun was puzzled: "Why is Brother Shangru so frightened? What happened to Cousin Boundless? ”

Gu Shangru nervously opened his mouth to say something, but after thinking about it, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth, shook his head and said, "Cousin, no matter how you know about Gu An, but you shouldn't mention this matter in the Gu Mansion, especially not in front of your grandfather." He looked terrified, as if some great secret had been touched, but he couldn't express the tension.

Hua Xun was confused and couldn't think of anything wrong, but in the Gu Mansion and not in the Hua Mansion, she could only be cautious in her words and deeds, and nodded her head to indicate that she would not mention it. happened to be brought by the maid egg yolk crisp, she skipped the topic with the egg yolk crisp, pinched a small piece of pastry with joy on her face, and said with a smile: "Brother Shangru is so good, I like to eat the egg yolk crisp in the house the most." ”

Gu Shangru breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, but his face was still a little pale: "If you like it, tell the kitchen what you want to eat, and let them make it for you." If you live in Hedong for a longer time, I can also take you to the restaurant to eat some authentic dishes, although Hedong and Chang'an are still far away, but often there are businessmen from Chang'an to open a restaurant here, if you want to eat delicious, there are also. ”

"Brother Shangru, I will go to Chang'an in a while." Hua Xun bit the egg yolk crisp, chewed slowly, ate elegantly, swallowed what was in his mouth, and said to Gu Shangru.

"Oh, yes." Gu Shangru nodded, "I heard that the county lord of Anhe in King Ning's mansion is like a brother and sister to his cousin, and the county lord of Anhe is about to marry the Liu family, is my cousin going to congratulate?" ”

"Hmm." Hua Xun said with emotion, "Zhong Ci is going to get married, and I am really reluctant to say it." ”

said that he was reluctant, but Hua Xun's eyes were cold, and he covered up the past by bowing his head and tasting the pastries.

"The county lord of Anhe must be very lively when he gets married, and my father doesn't know if he can come back in time, if he can't make it, I'm afraid that he will have to send someone to give gifts." Gu Shangru didn't answer the flower inquiry, this kind of thing is not good for him to talk to a foreign man.

Hua Xun raised his face and whispered: "Grandfather has only been seen for a while, why don't you treat me so much, I finally entered the door, and he ignored me." She sighed and complained, testing Gu Shangru with half-truths.

Gu Shangru turned his head to look at the scenery in the garden, and said with a sullen smile: "Grandfather is a little stricter, but he doesn't mean to snub you." I think the reason why my grandfather is like this is because he misses his aunt, and my cousin and aunt look too similar, and I am afraid that it is difficult to suppress the pity for my aunt when I see my cousin. My aunt was in her prime, and she was favored by her grandfather...... I can't bear to see people and think about people. ”

I can't bear it. Gu Shangru's words fell, Hua Xun had to look at him with admiration, but he didn't expect Gu Shangru's words to hit people's hearts like this. Brother Shangru said this, and Wen Tang was relieved. It makes me sad to think that my grandfather didn't want to see me like this. After my mother's death, my status in Huafu has changed so much, it is really unexpected, and I am at a loss to hope that I can rely on my grandfather, but ......" She grimaced, and the expression on her face was full of loss.

After a moment of silence, Gu Shangru said softly: "It's hard for my cousin to be alone in the Hou Mansion, if there is anything I can help with, even if my cousin says it, I will definitely do it for my cousin." ”

"Thank you, Brother Shangru." Hua Xun smiled innocently.

Night, Gu Mansion Song Jing Hall.

Gu Chong held a military book in his hand, squinting his eyes and looking at it carefully by the light, Gu Shangru waited on the side, grinding ink, and the surroundings were very quiet.

Although Gu Chong looked at the book, Yu Guang kept looking at Gu Shangru, seeing that Gu Shangru seemed to be thinking about the problem very quietly, he smiled silently, deliberately yawned loudly, put down the scroll and said, "Shangru, why can't you give up." In the afternoon, Gu Shangru and Hua Xun chatted happily in the pavilion, and someone had already reported it to him.

Gu Shangru's hand stopped, he let go of his hand, and saluted: "Back to grandfather, my grandson is thinking about a story that my cousin told my grandson." ”

"Oh?" Gu Chong sneered, picked up the scroll again and continued to read, but said, "What story did you tell?" ”

"It's said that there are two fish in the pond behind the flower house, one big and one small, originally Hua Junhou fed down, and both fish could eat fish food, but then the two fish grew up and became fat, but the prince only let the small one eat, if the big one eats, the prince will use a stick to push the big one away, I don't know what the reason is?"

The lights flickered, and the yellow-stained Gongzi's delicate face became more warm. Gu Shangru slowly told the story, it seemed that he just didn't understand the story.

Gu Chong looked at his contemplative face, snorted and said, "This is the matter of the prince, what do we have to do with it?" ”

"But this fish was sent by our Gu Mansion before." Gu Shangru wanted to speak, and looked at Gu Chong with flickering eyes.

"When the fish was sent over, Gu Fu didn't think about letting that fish occupy the entire fish pond."

"The fish is fat, it can be cooked!" Gu Shangru sighed, then stopped talking and continued to sharpen the ink.

Gu Chong leaned back in his chair, thinking about Gu Shangru's words.

After a while, Gu Shangru put aside the ink stone, took the white paper and spread it out, took two more paperweights, pressed the paper, bowed down and said, "The pen and paper are ready, grandfather, please use them." ”

Gu Chong stood up and walked to the front of the desk, chose a wolf hair, dipped it in ink, and began to write a letter.

Gu Shangru took a few steps back in front of him, retreated to the door before turning around, and was just about to step out of the door, when he heard a sentence from behind him: "Take Wentang out for a fun tomorrow, the Huafu fish pond is too small to accommodate her goldfish." ”

Looking back, Gu Chong lowered his head and wrote, but his face was soft.

"Yes." Gu Shangru breathed a sigh of relief and exited the room.

Closing the door and walking out under the eaves, Gu Shangru raised his head and found that the moonlight tonight was really beautiful. The silver light of the moon covered the lamp like a silk veil, the wind blew through the grass, the cicadas chirped and the frogs chirped, and some insects and frogs were ambushed in the small pond, and the breeze blew, and they shouted one after another, echoing each other. It's like the assassins passing on a message, waiting for the wind to calm down, finding the right moment to kill with one blow.

The ethereal fairy aura permeated the empty palace, and the moss on the steps also grew a small swaying flower, □□ yellow and tender. The breeze blows, the petals move lightly, the pear tree that is not far away is scattered here, the pear tree is full of corolla, all pink and yellow and white tender, like the white jade of a crown. The fog surrounds the front of the stage, and the flying veil outside the temple gate is covered, half covered and half hidden deep into the courtyard. Verdant green trees, red flowers and red doors, there are huge stone monuments, and the word "exquisite" is written.

Hua Xun was barefoot, stepping on the moss steps, and walked up the steps step by step. Looking at the crack of the palace door from afar, you can vaguely see the golden bed and jade couch in the hall, no one is silent here, and it is very quiet. There were no guards to guard, she couldn't help but recklessly push open the door of the temple and enter, the door squeaked open, a variety of sounds, and then the sound of the piano flowed out tactfully, like silk, and like mountains and flowing water, the silver bell wind blew, and the wonderful sound lingered around the beam.

She lifted the wind-blown gauze tent, relaxed her steps, and walked towards the shadowy sound of the piano.

Hua Du, who was dressed in a long white dress, sat behind the yaoqin, pressed the strings with her slender jade fingers, lowered her head and lowered her eyes to seriously hook the strings and play an unknown tune, but Hua Xun couldn't really see her figure, as if it was an illusory mirror flower, scattered and scattered. The sonorous sound of the piano is not murderous, nor is it a glamorous sound, it sounds very soft and elegant, which makes people relax.

Hua Xun listened to her playing, but when she got closer, she still felt that she was very loose, and after looking around left and right, she couldn't notice anything wrong. She walked to Huadu Qin and knelt down, looking up at Huadu's calm expression, the sound of the piano was interrupted by her movements, and the whole palace was very quiet for a while.

"Explanation......" Hua Xun felt that when she saw Huadu again, a sadness welled up in her heart from nowhere, she stroked Huadu's piano and looked at her with tears, "Why do I think you are leaving me?" ”

Hua Du turned his head and looked at her silently, his eyes were so calm that there was no trace of waves: "Ask Tang, I didn't leave." I'm always here with you. ”

The cold and clear words, the flat tone, but Hua Xun couldn't ignore the sigh at the end of her sentence. Light and heavy.

"Explanation, I know that I can't be too greedy, but I just can't control it. Are you really my dream? Is this qiē really just a dream? But I always feel like I've overlooked too much," she looked at Huadu's eyes, crystal tears rolling down the corners of her eyes, "Am I ......"

"It's not." Hua Du vetoed her idea, pinched the handkerchief, and gently wiped her tears.

"But what is it?" Hua Xun stood up and turned his back sadly, "What are the words you said that hurt me on the day of Huafu?" ”

Hua Du looked at her, frowned, and wondered, "Do you remember things outside of dreams?" ”

Hua Xun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "How do I remember?" It's just that I remembered that you seem to have said something very serious," suddenly her face changed, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, she suddenly turned to Huadu, looked directly into Huadu's eyes, and said in shock and anger, "What did you do to me?" I don't even remember anything other than dreams. And this palace," she looked up at the beams and pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes, and said in a panic, "Is this really a dream?" Will dreams be so clear and real? ”

She waved her long sleeves, stretched out her white palm to press the piano in front of Huadu, and flexed her fingers to hook the strings. She looked at Huadu in disbelief, felt the reality of her palm, and asked, "If this is a dream, why can I feel that it is difficult for me to be real?" For more than ten years, I have never doubted whether the dream I have had day and night is my dream! ”

"Ask Tang-" Hua Du pursed his lips, stared at her with a solemn expression, and said in a low voice, "This is your dream." It's a dream, and all of it is a dream. ”

Hua Xun eased his feelings, calmed down, and asked softly, "Really?" There were tears on her face, but dark clouds were brewing under her eyes, and the strings were deeply drawn into the hooked fingertips, and the thin strings left traces on her green and white jade fingers.

The corners of her mouth curled, with mockery, her fingertips were fiercely raised, the strings were broken, and there was a "pop-" sound, and then the fragile skin was cut, and the blood oozed out of the neat wound, quickly condensed into a drop, and smashed down on the ebony qin. It seems to have also fallen into Huadu's dark eyes.

"It turns out that there will be blood in the dream, and it will hurt so much."
