CHAPTER XIV
This day is the first time I have gone out since the reporter blocked my home, the rainy autumn day is colder than usual, and there are traces of water on the bluestone road that have not yet dried, Gu Shaoqing carried me through the Confucius Temple, all the way to the suburbs.

"How did you convince my father that he wouldn't let me see you again after my sister's incident?" I said, with tenderness in my tone that I could perceive. Perhaps subconsciously, I have come to see him as my trusted lover, even though our future is still unknown.
"It's been boring for so long, and I'm still worried about this?" Gu Shaoqing raised his eyebrows sideways at me while driving.
I was told the center of the matter, and I hurriedly looked away from staring at the side of his face, but I saw the man in the rearview mirror with a gentle smile. Turns out he's making fun of me, this guy.
I blushed, and was about to say a few words, but I thought of another important thing, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, I saw the note you left, what's the matter with Mother Han?"
Gu Shaoqing paused for a long time, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and after a while, he sighed and slowly spoke: "Ah Zhao, is Mother Han very important to you?"
I was suspicious, I didn't know why he asked.
"I need to understand how much this hurt you before I decide if I want to tell you or not." Gu Shaoqing explained.
"No, I don't want to listen to the abridged version, brother, tell me everything you know."
There was a momentary stalemate in the car, I pursed my lips, my eyes stubborn and arrogant, for the first time in seventeen years I was confronting the darkest part of human nature, and I didn't want to hide anything, especially in the name of doing it for my good. I'm going to accept the whole truth like an adult, even if it's not bright.
Gu Shaoqing looked at me with a helpless expression.
When the car drove past Xuanwu Lake, Gu Shaoqing, who had been silent, finally spoke: "Get out of the car, the place has arrived."
"No, if you don't tell me, you won't go." I played a trick.
"Okay, don't know about Mother Han, I'll go alone."
Miscellaneous...... Is it? I reacted and quickly picked up my handbag and got out of the car and chased him.
"Senior brother, you wait......"
Xuanwu Lake is located on the west side of the Purple Mountain in Nanjing, and has always existed as a royal garden, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was named the "Yellow Book Library" by Emperor Hongwu and forbade others to enter. It was not until the 34th year of Guangxu that Lord Duanfang, who was then the governor of Liangjiang and the minister of Nanyang trade, was ordered to hold the Nanyang Industry Association, and the Xuanwu Lake, which had been isolated from the world for thousands of years, was opened to the outside world and turned into "Wuzhou Park". At that time, the west wind gradually moved eastward, and with the gradual increase in treaty ports, more and more foreign gadgets were accepted by the Chinese people and became fashionable. This is where the term "park" became popular.
Later, the project was not completed, Duanfang was transferred, and the following year, Zhang Renjun, who succeeded the governor, was responsible for completing all the projects.
I tried my best to keep up with Gu Shaoqing's footsteps, and cautiously ran behind him to make a dogleg shape. The man probably got angry because of my attitude just now, and just kept moving forward, but didn't pay attention to me.
"Senior brother, what are you bringing me here for?"
"Senior brother, are you angry?"
"Senior brother, are you tired? Slow down, right? "Actually, he didn't go fast, but I was careful and careful, and I really didn't know what to do.
"Gu Shaoqing!"
The man in front of me suddenly stopped, and I was caught off guard, and a stumble hit his back. Gu Shaoqing's eyes quickly grabbed me, and he couldn't avoid it: "I can't walk, and I still claim that I have the ability to go to heaven, just like you, how can I rest assured that I will tell you the truth of the matter."
I was hit and my nose hurt, and when he said this, I felt infinitely wronged, I didn't sleep well last night, and at this time my stubborn temper came up, and I shouted regardless of it: "Who had to bring me to such a ghost place, I would have been lying at home to recuperate......"
"Well, I was wrong. Does it hurt? Gu Shaoqing said, using his hand to help my hand to rub my nose.
"There is a government meeting here today, and people with heads and faces in Nanjing City will come, and people who want your family to make a fool of themselves will also come!" As he spoke, he grabbed my hand and walked on.
Xuanwu Lake is nearly five miles in circumference, and is composed of five continents, such as Huanzhou, Yingzhou, Lingzhou, Liangzhou, and Cuizhou. There are many scenic spots around the lake, such as Xuanwu Morning Dawn, Beihu Art Workshop, Xuanpu, Xuanwu Smoke Willow, Wumiao Ancient Gate, Mingcheng Exploration, etc. Today's venue is located on the Ryoshi Island in the center of the lake.
Gu Shaoqing pulled me through the flow of people, it was the time of the lunchtime reception, the music was melodious on the gramophone, and the politicians were holding their female companions, or standing at the table, or dancing together on the dance floor, chic and free, and very leisurely. If it weren't for the big red silk characters in the middle of the stage that clearly read "The Sixth Nanjing Cabinet Organizing Committee", I almost thought that I had entered the wrong venue and accidentally ran to someone else's private ball.
"Shaoqing, here."
Uncle He was wearing a well-made white suit, standing in front of the rectangular buffet table with a beautiful goblet in his hand, smiling enthusiastically. The red liquid in the cup shook slightly from the shout just now, making him more and more dissolute and dashing.
I didn't want to meet him here, and I was hesitating whether to step forward, Gu Shaoqing had already led me through the crowd and walked towards the dining table.
"Don't be afraid, Uncle Tong is helping me." As he spoke, he grabbed my hand tightly, and walked up to He Shutong without hesitation and greeted him.
"How's it going, what's new?"
"There's no clue yet, but you can't guess who's coming." Uncle He said, walked up to me, and stretched out his hand very politely, "Miss Liu, long time no see!" ”
I smiled awkwardly, and instead of shaking hands with him, I asked directly, "I wonder which person I know that Gongzi He just said?"
"Shaoqing, does this little sister of yours have to be like this?" As Uncle He spoke, he showed me a strong dissatisfaction: "This is the first time that I have been rejected for taking the initiative to be courteous, it seems that my charm is really not as good as yours, shame, shame."
Gu Shaoqing slapped him and said with a smile: "You deserve it, you deserve to be rejected for being courteous to our family A Zhao in front of me." After speaking, he turned his head and whispered to me: "Ah Zhao, you too, do I usually teach you like this?" We are begging others, how can we ignore He Dashao? ”
I listened to it, and when I thought about it, everyone was relieved, why did I still look like a small belly and chicken intestines, and it was too generous. simply grinned: "It's me who is wrong, Brother He, don't come unharmed." I haven't seen you for a few months, and I'm getting more and more handsome! ”
"Listen, I'm not satisfied, so I'm here to apologize."
"You're cheap, and you're good!" Gu Shaoqing ignored him.
"Look at it, and slander me."
I couldn't bear to listen to his jokes, so I simply picked up the pastry on the side and ate it.
Uncle He saw that I no longer paid attention to them, so he chatted with Gu Shaoqing seriously.
As I held the pastry and watched the crowd gather, I couldn't help but think of the academic conference with my teacher in Peking a few months ago. It was a completely different scene from today's meeting, with a rigorous academic style, humorous and witty language arts, and the handsome Gu Shaoqing who accompanied him.
Nowadays, the same people, different places, and moods have become very different in the midst of people's expectations and staggering during the banquet.
"You are really great, you can get the help of my brother and Brother Shaoqing at the same time." He Shujun came from the other end of the long table, and when I got closer, I saw that she was wearing a rose-red Western-style dance dress today, and her hair was coiled high.
