。

"Sir, sir, it's time for dinner."

The woman who knocked on the door outside the house was wrapped in a long embroidered skirt with juan yarn, her figure was delicate, and she spoke softly.

"Fifth lady, the old man just said that he was going out, this should not be in the room."

Lou Wang, who was following behind, hurriedly stepped forward when he saw this.

Out? Master, where did you go?

Zhao Lingyu paused, her beautiful eyes turned, and she still pushed the door open.

There was no one in the room, but the two letters on the round table stood out.

Lou Wang followed up with the room, and watched the fifth lady unhurriedly open one of the letters, looking at it seriously.

Zhao Lingyu's fine white fingertips gently pinched the piece of paper and looked at it for a long time, but her eyebrows were more and more wrinkled]

Isn't something big going on? Looking at this appearance, Lou Wang couldn't help but raise his heart, and asked softly:

"Five, fifth lady, what did the lord say in this letter?"

Zhao Lingyu raised her head, pursed her lips, and glared at him lightly:

"How do I know, I can't read."

When the words fell, she slowly put away the letter, held it in her hand, and walked out slowly.

Outside, the sun slowly set over the western mountains, leaving only a few rays of residual light, and there was still a faint light on the streets.

On Jiangzhou North Street, a carriage slowly stopped in front of a grass house. Gao Xun jumped out of the carriage and stepped forward a few steps to knock on the closed wooden door.

"You're you again?"

Tang Yu opened the door and saw the people outside the house clearly, and suddenly his face darkened.

Gao Xun smiled: "Tang Gongzi, would you like to enjoy your face and go down with you today?" ”

"Where are you going? Don't go! ”

As soon as Tang Yu's words fell, he was about to close the door, but a small figure suddenly squeezed into the room and poked his head out: "Big brother, are you the poor and sour talent in my eldest brother's mouth?" ”

Ye Ziliang, who came later, heard this, and his face froze.

Gao Xun was stunned for a moment, but smiled lightly at the snow-white little face: "Then your eldest brother really lifted me, I am a cloth cloth, but I am not even a showman." ”

"It doesn't matter if you're Xiucai or Buyi, go quickly, don't talk nonsense here, I won't do that."

Tang Yu waved his hand at her angrily, and as he spoke, he opened the door and stepped forward to grab his sister who was about to escape from the house.

The little girl he was pulling looked no more than eight or nine years old, wearing a dirty hemp skirt, but she looked innocent, and when she heard this, she turned around and winked at her brother: "Big brother, what's the matter?" ”

Gao Xun couldn't help but reach over and gently touch her little head, and then said: "This matter is not in a hurry, Brother Tang must not have eaten yet, I came here today to bring some pastries." ”

As she spoke, she took the wooden box from Ye Ziliang's hand behind her and handed it to the two of them.

"Wow, that's so good!"

As soon as the box was opened, the brother and sister looked at the dim sum inside.

Tang Yu swallowed his saliva and moved his throat with difficulty: "Go and go, it's not that I haven't eaten." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw my sister tearing her robe again, and raised her fingertips to the pastries in the box little by little: "Big brother, is the top one a rose snow cake, below, there is a chestnut sorbet below, I used to like to eat Aunt Feng's Ruyi cake the most, soft and cool, as well as hibiscus cake, begonia cake, kidney bean roll——"

Tang Yu couldn't help but swallow his saliva again, before he suddenly came back to his senses: "Stop!" Stop. ”

"You, don't think I don't know what you're up to! Just a few things to eat just want to buy me, do I Tang Yu seem to be the kind of person who will bend his waist for five buckets of rice?! ”

He was so angry that he jumped to his feet, stretched out his fingers and scolded Gao Xun.

Ye Ziliang's face was silent, but he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. If it had been in the past, even if His Highness hadn't called someone to come forward to teach him a lesson, I am afraid that he would have started to do it with him a long time ago.

And today, she only bent the corners of her lips and was silent.

In front of him, after Tang Yu said a good thing, he took his sister's little hand, couldn't help but look at the various pastries in the eye box again, lowered his voice slightly, and finally said: "However, but since you are here in person, it doesn't hurt for me to go." ”

"But I will never agree to that."

Gao Xun raised his eyes when he heard this, his eyes lit up suddenly, and his eyebrows were happy: "Naturally, Brother Tang has the final say." ”

The group quickly got into the carriage and drove all the way to West Street.

When he got out of the car again, Tang Yu stood at the door holding his sister's hand, raised his head and looked at the familiar plaque in front of him, and slowly sank his face.

Tang House.

"Big brother, are we going home?"

This house has not been back for a long time, and the white seal on the gate has not been scraped off, and even the two stone lions at the door seem to have accumulated a lot of dust.

Tang Yu lowered his head and smiled at his sister, but he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, Gao Xun took a few steps forward, took the lead in opening the door of the mansion, turned around and said, "Brother Tang, please." ”

Tang Mansion is a second-entrance mansion, and after a few people entered the door, Gao Xun seemed to have already been there, and led them all the way to the door of the room on the west side of the backyard.

As soon as the door opened, Tang Yu recognized at a glance the person who was tightly tied to the bed with his mouth gagged.

"Lou Shide?"

The kidnappers stared at them with wide eyes and horror, and said "woo" twice, but they were speechless.

Tang Yu stepped forward at this moment, raised his hand and punched him in the stomach:

"Good you Lou Shide, all the bad things have been done, today I finally let Tang Yu bump into me, see if I can beat you to death!"

When the words fell, he punched and kicked the person in front of him, and Lou Tingshi's hands and feet were tightly tied together, and he couldn't escape left and right, and he couldn't even scream when he was beaten by Tang Yu for a while.

His sister was still following closely, Gao Xun was afraid of hurting her, so he hurriedly let Ye Ziliang take the little girl out of the room first.

It wasn't until he saw Lou Shide's beaten nose and swollen face, and he couldn't open his eyes and was about to lose consciousness, that Gao Xun finally stepped forward to stop him:

"Brother Tang, Brother Tang, don't be in a hurry, if we want to get out of the way, we need to save his life first."

Tang Yu snorted lightly, and regained some reason when he heard the words. With a red face, he finally let go of his fist and followed her out first.

The two walked to the courtyard, and they were silent for a long time, before Gao Xun raised his eyes with a smile, looked at him and said, "Brother Tang is relieved?" ”

Tang Yu glanced at her angrily: "Hmph, don't think I don't know what good calculations you are secretly playing!" ”

Although he said this, Xu is return to his hometown, but his face looked much more relaxed, and when he saw that he seemed to have a spectrum, Gao Xun immediately pushed the boat down the river and said: "Then Brother Tang - what do you think?" ”

"How can I! Now that you've deadlifted me into the boat, can I still jump into the sea? After Tang Yu shouted a few times in dissatisfaction, he finally said in a deep voice: "Since our lives have been tied to a rope, what should we do next, you can talk to me about it." ”

Gao Xun was overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but hug him deeply: "Thank you, Brother Tang!" ”

Tang Yu looked around left and right and sighed deeply. This long-abandoned mansion should be cleaned up.

After that, Gao Xun and his party and the Tang family brothers and sisters temporarily lived in this mansion together.

The house has not been inhabited for a long time, Gao Xun intends to ask a few people to clean up, and it happened that there is a lady on the street with two daughters, I heard that it is wandering here elsewhere, and now there is nowhere to go. Gao Xun saw that the three of them looked honest, so he took them to the mansion and placed them in the side courtyard, so that they could cook and wash clothes for everyone on weekdays.

The assassin is nowhere to be seen, and the yamen is afraid that it has made a lot of trouble at this moment.

Early in the morning, Tang Yu carried the letter handed over to him by Gao Xun in his arms, and went outside.

Seeing that her brother was out of the door, Tang Shan was also clamoring to go with her, and Song Yuyan saw that Gao Xun was entangled by this little girl, so she said that it was better to take her to Xia Yue and Qiuying's place to sit by herself. After staying in the inn for a few days, Song Yuyan and the two of them became acquainted.

Gao Xun nodded, and handed Tang Shan over to Song Yuyan, she was naturally relieved, and the two of them had nothing to do in the house, so it was better to go out and take a look around.

"Third brother, you can go with us."

In the courtyard, Tang Shan pouted at Gao Xun, at this moment she was holding Song Yuyan tightly with one hand, and pulling Gao Xun's fingertips with the other hand, the three of them stood together, looking like a family in a blink of an eye.

Gao Xun glanced at Lu Baisang, who was standing in the corridor holding his younger brother, squatted down, curled the corners of his lips and said, "I won't go, the third brother still has something to do today, can I play with you next time?" ”

"Hmmm! Then you're good to say yes! ”

Gao Xun subconsciously raised his head and glanced into the distance, and clearly saw the clenched fist of the boy next to him. She smiled and nodded, only gently telling the two in front of her to be more careful.

After watching them leave the house, Gao Xun walked through the corridor and went straight to the two sisters and brothers who had been standing there for a long time.

Lu Cianming clenched his two small fists, obediently listened to Sister A's words, and couldn't help but talk nonsense.

Gao Xun squinted, she was busy with Lou Thorn Shi in the past few days, even if she was through a door at night, she didn't say a few words to the person in front of her. At this moment, the two looked at each other for a long time, but they were still silent to each other, Gao Xun stared at her, and her expressions of wanting to speak and stopping fell into her eyes. After a while, she also lost her patience, and couldn't help but become more and more cold, and finally spoke up first: "I'll go to the study, you are not allowed to come in outside." ”

After the words fell, she went into the study without looking back.

Inside the house, Ye Ziliang was standing by the window with his hands behind his back.

Gao Xun stepped forward and raised his eyes to take a look. The sky outside the window was gloomy, and since I arrived in Jiangzhou, there has been no clear sky in the past two days. After a while, I'm afraid it will rain again.

Gao Xun sank and returned to the table. Shaking his head and putting aside his thoughts, he spread out the paper and began to write.

I don't know how long it took, when she put down the pen again, Ye Ziliang was already standing beside her and watching together.

Gao Xun straightened his waist, touched the numb shoulder, put the paper into two envelopes, handed it to Ye Ziliang and said: "Master, after sending the letter, please go to the yamen to take care of it secretly, Tang Yuna, I'm afraid there won't be any accidents." ”

Ye Ziliang took the letter and nodded: "Your Highness, don't worry." ”

When she was the only one left in the room, she fell silent. Outside the window, it seemed to be gradually falling lightly, dripping from the air and slapping on the ground, splashing small splashes.

Gao Xun leaned back in his chair and half-squinted, listening to the sound of rain ticking outside. Suddenly, as if he suddenly remembered something, he immediately stood up and walked out of the room.

Outside, the inky clouds still squeezed the sky, so oppressive that the surroundings seemed to be silent.

Gao Xun walked around the front yard and saw less than half a figure. She clenched her fists, and her heart sank deeper and deeper like the sky outside.

She ran to the backyard with a gloomy face, kicked open the door on the west side, and Lou Shide in the room was still tied to the corner of the bed, he stared at a pair of eyes, and was frightened by Gao Xun's movements.

Fled?

An irrepressible anger rose in Gao Xun's heart.

Seeing that the face in front of him was becoming more and more unpleasant, he stepped forward and kicked him twice, turned around and went out of the door, returned to the house to get an umbrella, and rushed out of the house.

Or do you say nothing? I just ran away like that!

Gao Xun's fingertips holding the umbrella couldn't help but tremble with anger, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was already dark and pressing. The rain from the streets soaked her robe, and she suppressed the anger churning in her heart, but she still couldn't restrain her mind.

This huge Jiangzhou City, how to find it!

Like a headless fly, she ran all the way to the corner of North Street, but suddenly saw a familiar figure huddled with those homeless homeless people under the eaves of the street.

Gao Xun paused suddenly, eased his breath, and after taking a closer look, he took a few deep breaths, but still couldn't untie his tightly wrinkled brows.

She held an umbrella and walked over in a few steps: "Yu Yan, why are you here?" ”
