Li An raised his head, the sky darkened for some time, and he saw that heavy rain was coming.

He clenched the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and slowly exhaled a cloudy breath.

He remembered a lot of things during this time, all about the past.

However, these memories are all fragments, and even he himself is unbelievable.

He remembered the fragments in his mind, and in his memory there was only a vague outline of the young man, and in the layers of darkness, he couldn't see his eyebrows clearly.

It's just the smile on his lips, very gentle.

When he was in Nissi, he thought that he should know Mo.

It's just that it's been too long, so long that he doesn't dare to think about the bastard things he said.

Past, Today...... He is no longer the Ang Lee he used to be.

As soon as Qiē left Nixi, it began to change.

Li An walked in front of the Gu family's house, and the little guy who followed him saw Li An's eyes, so he hurriedly went up and knocked on the door.

I only heard a 'squeak', and the vermilion door in front of me slowly opened.

The people inside the door took a look at Li An, and then hurriedly blessed themselves, "Li Gongzi, you are finally here, Miss Eight has been waiting for a long time." ”

Li An was slightly surprised, although he often went in and out of the Gu Mansion in the past, he never said more than half a word to Gu Xirou. But soon, Li An thought of Mo Yan's words again, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Instinct told him that Mo Yan would never harm him.

Although this realization, it is a bit ridiculous.

He entered the Gu Mansion and was led by his subordinates. Slowly walked towards Gu Xirou's small courtyard.

Gu Xirou is a well-known talented woman in the capital, and Gu Xirou has been loved by Song Yingruo since she was a child. Thinking of this Song Yingruo, Ang Lee felt a little headache.

Song Yingruo is the most beloved sister of General Song, but this young lady who was raised in the boudoir fell in love with his father at first sight. Moreover, even if his father married his mother and still had him, Song Yingruo's feelings for his father still did not change.

He had seen Song Yingruo, she was extremely beautiful and heroic. Such a woman, if she wants to find a good husband. It's a very simple thing.

But. Song Yingruo was no longer tempted by outsiders.

The topic of Song Yingruo in the capital has never stopped, and those words are extremely dirty. Moreover, after Ang Lee's father divorced his mother, he actually rejected Song Yingruo for a period of time. He went to inquire about Song Yingruo. In private, he couldn't accept Song Yingruo.

After all. Let him speak again and call Mrs. to another woman. He couldn't.

Even if Song Yingruo is really good, she is really suitable for her father.

Gu Xirou treats Song Yingruo like a mother. Li An felt that his head was getting more and more painful, but he had to come to Gu's house again.

The small courtyard where Gu Xirou lives is far away from the main courtyard of the Gu family, and there are many kapok trees planted around her yard. The kapok on the branches bloomed just right, and the flowers were as red as blood, more like a flame burning on the branches.

At this time, a cold wind blew, and the flowers on the kapok tree were blown and swayed.

The kapok on the branch slowly fell, and I saw that the flower hovered in the air for a while, and when it fell to the ground, it still remained in its original state, and it did not wilt for a minute.

Li An walked under the tree and picked up the kapok that had been blown down by the wind, the red kapok had not faded for half a minute, and was still as dazzling as on the branches.

"Li Gongzi, are you here?" At this time, a soft female voice interrupted Ang Lee's thoughts.

He held a red oil-paper umbrella, and when he turned around, he saw Gu Xirou standing far away.

Gu Xirou wore a thin dress, and the red cloak she wore on her body made her body look even more petite. She had a smile in her eyes and seemed to welcome him.

For a moment, Ang Lee felt as if the air around him had stagnated.

This feeling is familiar.

"Well, I'm here." Li An waited for a long time before answering Gu Xirou's words.

Li An's stunned look made Gu Xirou couldn't help laughing.

Gu Xirou walked to Ang Li's side, then looked at the words in Ang Li's hand, and said lightly, "This is kapok, my Aunt Song likes it very much." ”

Li An knew that the Aunt Song in Gu Xirou's mouth was Song Yingruo of the Song family. He didn't look disgusted as usual, but just raised his head to look at the kapok around him.

It was as red as fire, almost enveloping the entire courtyard.

"Isn't it different from other flowers?" Li An hesitated for a moment before he couldn't help but ask.

Gu Xirou smiled, pointed to the kapok in Li An's hand and said, "It's different...... At least not in my eyes. When the kapok withers, the flowers do not fade or wilt, and they are always this color. Nothing will change. ”

Li An raised the kapok in his hand a little higher, and then laughed as well, "It seems like this." ”

From the beginning to the end, never change.

Gu Xirou understands very well why her Aunt Song Yingruo likes such flowers, because kapok is a flower that never fades. When she was a child, she always heard Song Yingruo talk about Li Changfeng, how smart that person was, and how heroic that person was. Gu Xirou was a little skeptical of Song Yingruo's words at first, after all, Song Yingruo said that Li Changfeng was too perfect, and perfect was not like a character that should exist in the mortal world.

Many years later, Gu Xirou understood Song Yingruo's feelings.

Because he loves that person, all his shortcomings are covered by his light.

Moreover, Li Changfeng is indeed a peculiar person.

Li Changfeng has never taken a concubine, and he doesn't even have a room around him. His feelings for the Jiang family have always been the same. How many men in this world can do this? Moreover, Li Changfeng and Song Yingruo also met, at that time Li Changfeng and the Jiang family had separated, and he was alone.

Song Yingruo asked him, "Why don't you choose a new beginning?" ”

Li Changfeng shook his head with a smile: "These words are easy to say, but they are difficult to do. If I were an ordinary person, maybe I would start over, but I can't help myself in my current position. ”

"You have a choice, you have this right." Song Yingruo frowned slightly, "Shizi, you are a smart person, there are some things I don't need to say too clearly." ”

Li Changfeng took a step back, and the look in his eyes remained the same: "I believe that you are smarter than me, Miss, so you also understand my current situation." Miss, Li is not worthy of you like this, and will be destined to fail you. ”

Song Yingruo bit her lower lip, there was a faint mist in front of her eyes, and she turned her head: "In this life, how many seventeen years are there." I don't have many seventeen years, but I'm a man from the beginning. The son of the world has never failed me, but I myself am too persistent. ”

Li Changfeng sighed helplessly, but his words were still the same as before: "People who play with power have dirty hearts." I am not the former Li Changfeng, and you are still the former Song Yingruo. Right now, I can't separate too much of my heart from the affairs of the Li family, miss, there is no need to wait any longer. ”

After Li Changfeng finished speaking, he turned around and left Song Yingruo's sight.

When Gu Xirou heard these words from Song Yingruo's mouth, she was so angry that she almost came to Li Changfeng's theory.

But Song Yingruo took Gu Xirou's hand and said with a smile: "I have never blamed him, he is different from other men." From the very beginning, he didn't give me any hope, and he refused completely. It's because I'm too obsessed, always thinking that if I wait for him, he will be by my side. Xirou, he can't be blamed for this, the Li family's family is actually the same as other families, chaotic and complicated. He is the future Chengguo Gong, and there are too many things to worry about. ”

Gu Xirou frowned, a little puzzled by Song Yingruo's words: "Why?" ”

"The Song family has military power in its hands, and the Li family has a lot of civil officials in the court." Song Yingruo smiled desolately, "If one day this Great Qin can change to an emperor, maybe I still have a chance." ”

Song Yingruo said calmly, but she couldn't say anything that shocked Gu Xirou.

Emperor Jianguang is becoming more and more addicted to pills these days, and it is normal for him not to go to court for a few days. Despite this, Emperor Jianguang still did not neglect to guard against the Great Prince and the Sixth Prince in private. In the matter of Yecheng, the footsteps of the six princes were too anxious, and his ambition was soon discovered by Emperor Jianguang.

If you want to change the emperor......

Gu Xirou took a breath, and then didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

The eldest prince and the sixth prince are not favored by Emperor Jianguang, and Concubine An's prince is still young, so ...... The only one who stayed out of the matter was the four princes who were bedridden all year round.

Li An looked at Gu Xirou's confused expression, and then interrupted her train of thought, "Eighth Miss? ”

Gu Xirou raised her head and looked at Li An, just in time to meet his gaze.

Ang Lee's appearance is somewhat similar to Li Changfeng, but Ang Lee's temperament is too sharp and not as steady as Li Changfeng. She couldn't help but laugh when she thought of what Mo Yan had said to her, "If Gongzi Li is not busy, then would you like to go into the courtyard and have a cup of tea?" ”

Gu Xirou smiled very gently, which made Li An's a little stunned.

He originally planned to come and say a few words to Gu Xirou and leave the Gu Mansion earlier, but Gu Xirou's smile made him unable to say these words.

Li An nodded: "Okay." ”

Gu Xirou was petite, and she gathered the red cloak on her body.

At this time, it began to rain lightly.

Li An subconsciously propped up the red oil-paper umbrella in his hand on the top of Gu Xirou's head, and his movements made Gu Xirou stop.

Gu Xirou looked at the oil-paper umbrella above her head, and then said with a smile, "Red? ”

"Well, the red one." Li An didn't know why Gu Xirou asked this sentence, this umbrella was handed to him by Mo Yan, so he liked red very much today.

Mo Yan handed him the umbrella, and he took it.

Gu Xirou didn't look at Ang Lee's expression, but just said, "My Aunt Song likes to watch the White Snake very much." ”

Li An frowned and did not speak.

"Broken bridge, red oil-paper umbrella." Gu Xirou didn't say anything too badly, just continued to walk forward.

Li Ang didn't hear too clearly, so he didn't continue to ask.

In the White Snake Story, the White Lady and Xu Xian met on the broken bridge in the rain. And what made them bond was a red oil-paper umbrella. (To be continued......)
