"Not only is it very good, Qingbo's brother is seventeen or eighteen years older than him, Qingbo was raised by his brother, and he is also a father and brother, and the relationship is very deep."

may be because he remembered that he had no father and mother since he was a child, Gu Tailai was very emotional: "If it weren't for his brother being caught ten years ago, Qingbo would not have been sold into the house." In the past few years, his brother has been trying to ransom Qingbo out. It was Qingbo himself who wanted to stay with the fourth master, because he heard that the fourth master intended to carry Bibo, so he was not willing to go out. ”

"It's up to you to do this!" Gu Chongyang said: "It's just that after the matter is done, don't embarrass Qingbo and his brother, although it is not good, it has nothing to do with us in the end, as long as we can find out the news we want to know, we don't have to worry about anything else." ”

"Hmm." Gu Tailai said: "Everything else is easy to do, just to prevent Bi Bo from interfering inside, and the fourth master will help him." ”

"No, it won't." Gu Chongyang said firmly: "The fourth master hates people eating wine and gambling money, if it is okay for other things, the fourth master will not help Qingbo in this matter." Besides, Qingbo wants to compete with Bibo in front of the fourth master, and he will not tell the fourth master about the matter, let alone sù Bibo. Bibo's mother is sick all the year round, and he just has the heart to help Qingbo, and he doesn't have that ability. ”

"It turns out that the young lady has already expected it." Gu Tailai thought for a while and asked cautiously, "Miss, did I bring Qingbo directly to you?" ”

After a period of tracking, Gu Tailai also knew some secrets.

He was afraid that what Qingbo said would be related to his mother, and he was afraid that he would be embarrassed.

Gu Chongyang shook his head and said, "If I meet Qingbo, it will be too eye-catching, maybe Qingbo will see that it is a trap we dug." Let him tell you, and tell me when you get the news. ”

Mother is innocent, she is sure of that.

In June, the eldest lady of the long house, Gu Chongfang and Lu, got married in July.

Because Gu Chongyang had filial piety on his body, it was inconvenient to go to the ceremony on the day of his wedding, so he went to see him off on the afternoon three days before Gu Chongfang's wedding.

She gave Wang Mian's "Returning to the Pasture" as a makeup for Gu Chongfang.

After reading the words sent by Gu Chongyang, Gu Chongfang was happy and grateful: "Fourth sister, this is the best makeup gift I have ever received." ”

There is no shortage of money in the long house, and gold and silver jewelry are mediocre for Gu Chongfang, but Wang Mian's "Returning to the Pasture" is a treasure that is difficult to buy even if you have money.

The Cui family that Gu Chongfang married is a scholarly family for generations, and if there are one or two famous paintings as a dowry, Gu Chongfang's face will naturally shine.

"I've heard that Aunt Ying is buying famous calligraphy and paintings everywhere, so I guessed that it was probably for you. I wanted to send it a long time ago, but I thought that Aunt Ying would definitely not accept my things in vain, so I didn't send them. Gu Chongyang said with a smile: "I brought it as a makeup gift, I hope that the lobby sister and the cousin-in-law will be harmonious and beautiful, and they will grow old." ”

Gu Chongfang's face turned red when she heard this, but she didn't twist it, but thanked her generously: "Thank you, fourth sister, I have accepted your blessings, and I hope that my future life can be as harmonious and beautiful as you said." ”

Saying that, her voice lowered: "Seeing that you are so sensible, I am relieved." The fourth aunt is gone, you haven't gone out for the past few months because of filial piety, and I can't go out at will because I am waiting to get married, I was still worried about you. Fourth sister, no matter what happens in the future, you have to take care of yourself. ”

Gu Chongyang was surprised: "Sister Lobby, have you heard something?" ”

"Yes." Gu Chongfang said worriedly: "I heard my grandmother say that someone wants to say goodbye to the fourth uncle and renew the strings for him." ”

"Really?" Gu Chongyang's face darkened, and his heart sank, he didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

"Have you heard which girl it is?"

Gu Chongfang said: "It seems to be the concubine of the Lu'an Hou family." ”

"Fourth sister, the fourth uncle will continue to be in the future, you must stay away from the lady you marry. My grandmother said that there are no good things for my stepmother. ”

How could she be the concubine of the Lu'an Hou family, shouldn't it be Ge Bilian?

With such doubts, Gu Chongyang returned to Haitang Courtyard.

Coincidentally, Gu Tailai had already done the matter and found out the news from Qingbo's mouth.

Gu Chongyang put aside the matter of his father's renewal, and cheered up to listen to Gu Tailai.

"On that day, the fourth master did come back." Gu Tailai said: "The fourth master returned to Rongdong Courtyard, and it didn't take long for him to have a dispute with the fourth lady. Because he didn't go in, he only waited at the door, and when the two quarreled, the door was closed, and Qingbo said that he only heard a few words. ”

At first, the fourth lady cried to the fourth master, and the fourth master kept whispering to comfort the fourth lady, but I don't know what was going on, the fourth lady's love became very excited, and she asked loudly. The fourth master didn't speak at first, and then he couldn't help but argue with the fourth lady, and the two of them said one by one, arguing very loudly. ”

The fourth master was so angry that he slammed the door and left, and the fourth lady cried behind him, accusing the fourth master of how he could be like this, why he became a stranger she didn't know at all. The fourth master did not answer, but went to the study with a blue face. Half an hour later, Miss Lu Wu hurriedly ran to the study and said that the fourth lady had surrendered. ”

The fourth master was shocked, and trotted all the way into the main house of Rongdong Courtyard. After a while, he staggered out again and asked people to go to Tantuo Temple to report the news. ”

Listening to Gu Tai's words, Gu Chongyang's gaze became as cold as moonlight.

She has already sketched the scene at that time, her mother was framed and raped in bed, she is innocent, so she will definitely explain to her father. She felt that her father would believe her.

But she was wrong, and her father didn't believe her.

She overestimated the ability and sanity of men to endure such things.

The evidence is conclusive, and the stolen goods are both obtained, and the father must have been very disappointed, angry, and angry at that time, and when people are angry, they will speak unscrupulously, and even say some particularly hurtful words.

The mother suffered such a great change, her daughter was not around, and her dependent husband refused to believe her, and everything was lost.

That's why she asked her father why he seemed to be a different person, a complete stranger to her.

The husband of the person closest to her trusts doubts her chastity, not because he doubts, but because he believes that she has an affair with someone else. The mother was embarrassed and angry, and it was difficult to distinguish her mouth, and finally chose to commit suicide.

When her mother died, her father thought she had committed suicide in fear of sin. Although he blamed his mother for betraying him, he still chose to cover it up for his mother.

If she hadn't gone to Tantuo Temple at that time, she could have sued her father that Wu Dacheng was disabled, and she could prove her mother's innocence.

But there are no ifs in this world, what happened has happened, my mother is dead, and she will never come back.

She can't bring her mother back to life, but she can change her mother's impression in her father's heart.

If the father thinks of his mother, he is not complaining, not doubting, but guilty and nostalgic, I believe that the mother will definitely feel comfort in the spirit of heaven.

"Luwu, you let people guard the door, and when the fourth master comes back, he will come to sue me."

She wants to go to her father and explain the truth, she can't let her father continue to be kept in the dark and misunderstand her mother.

Lu Wu led Gu Tailai out, but Gu Chongyang heard someone outside calling her: "Cousin Chongyang, are you at home?" ”

It was actually Hao Shaoyang.

The last time they met was before the Dragon Boat Festival, he came to Gu Chongyang several times under the pretext of coming to see the thrush and parrots, and he also asked Gu Chongyang to make him a sachet for insect repellent.

Of course Gu Chongyang didn't agree, what she was most afraid of was to use a needle and knead the thread, and she couldn't even embroider a handkerchief for herself, how could she agree to Hao Shaoyang's rude request?

He couldn't ask for it, he was very unhappy, and he left in a hurry.

didn't come for two months, Gu Chongyang thought he would never come again, but he didn't expect to come today.

The capital in July is full of gold and stones. Even though it was evening, the earth became steaming after a day of baking.

The days of filial piety are very boring, and she doesn't have many friends, Hao Shaoyang can bring her a lot of fun every time she comes.

Gu Chongyang smiled: "What kind of wind blew our Linjiang Hou Shisun here, this is really rare." ”

Hao Shaoyang listened to it and knew that Gu Chongyang was teasing him for losing his temper last time and running away, his face was a little unbearable, but he said: "Where is there any Linjiang Hou Shisun, I only know that I am your cousin, and you are my cousin." ”

"Huh? How come I don't remember that we had a pro? Gu Chongyang said deliberately: "Did Hao Gongzi go to the wrong place and recognize the wrong person, the eldest lady Gu Chonghua who lives in Lanting Courtyard is your cousin, this is Begonia Courtyard, don't recognize your relatives indiscriminately." ”

"Cousin!" Hao Shaoyang walked up to Gu Chongyang with a shy face, and said in a low voice: "What happened last time was that I was wrong, and you adults don't have a lot of knowledge like me." ”

"I don't dare." Gu Chongyang straightened his face and said: "What kind of place am I, come when you are happy, and shake your face if you are not happy." You're willing, I'm not willing. ”

"Good, good, good." Hao Shaoyang said softly: "It's me who is wrong, I can't help it when my temper comes up." ”

"If you can't help it, don't bear it, anyway, when you go elsewhere, someone is holding you." Gu Chongyang said: "Why don't you come to me to find pleasure?" ”

"I don't know." Hao Shaoyang said sullenly: "I see those people smirking at me, I feel very tired of it, only you have one to say, two to say, you won't be false to me because I am the grandson of Linjiang Hou." ”

"Then you are not allowed to lose your temper again in the future, if you dictate to me again, and if you can't achieve your goal, you will be stumbled, and I will no longer welcome you here."

"Am I dictating to you?" Hao Shaoyang's eyes widened as if he had heard something particularly incredible: "What am I doing? ”

"yes." Gu Chongyang said with a face like this: "I'm not your maid, why should I help you make sachets, aren't you arrogant?" I didn't say yes, and you ran away in a huff, isn't it a stumbling man? ”

Thinking that he Hao Shaoyang has outstanding martial arts and dignified appearance, it is the first time that he has been described as "a stumbling man".

The corners of Hao Shaoyang's mouth twitched, but he didn't refute it, but said against his will: "Cousin, what you said is very right, I will change it in the future, but when you talk to me in the future, you should be gentle, don't always make me angry." ”

"Hmm." Gu Chongyang deliberately wanted to kill his temper, so he glanced at him and nodded nonchalantly: "I'll take care of it." If you're okay, go back, it'll be dark soon. ”

"What's the hurry, it's unknown to walk ten miles in winter, and it's not dark to walk ten miles in summer." Hao Shaoyang stood up and looked east and west, and suddenly said: "Hey, why are there only budgies and pigeons left, what about the pair of thrushes?" ”

"I asked someone to help me give it to my cousin in Nanjing."

Hao Shaoyang was very jealous when he heard this: "What did you ask your cousin to help bring it?" ”

"No, it's my uncle."

Hao Shaoyang was relieved: "That's a little more reliable." ”

"Alright, you can go back quickly." Gu Chongyang said: "One year is small, two years old, it's time to avoid suspicion." ”

"Okay, okay." Hao Shaoyang said helplessly: "I'll go back first, and I'll come back in a few days when your eldest lady of Changfang gets married, and when the time comes, I'll take you out to play." ”

"I keep filial piety, and I won't go that day."

"It doesn't matter, I can come to you." Hao Shaoyang said: "That's it." ”

With that, he strode out.

Lu Wu said: "Hao Gongzi really remembered that one play is one play." Miss, the old man has been back for a while, but the old lady asked him to go to Aneiin because there was news just now that something big had happened. ”

Gu Chongyang couldn't help but sit upright when he heard this: "What is the matter?" ”

"The Tatar soldiers attacked the north fort of Weizhen in Ningxia."

How strong the Tatar army was, Gu Chongyang had seen it in his previous life. At that time, the puppet emperor had seized power for two years, and he was in power, his government was clear, and his military strength was strong.

But the Tatar iron cavalry broke through one defense line after another, heading straight for the capital.

Although it is related to Wang Jiulang's command, I have to admit that the Tatar army is indeed terrifying. The puppet emperor failed to escape, and finally killed himself.

Wang Jiulang took the Zhengshun Emperor all the way south to Nanjing, where he worked hard, trained his troops and horses, and five years later waved his army to the north and drove the Tatars out of Daqi in one fell swoop.

The Tatars attacked one city after another in Daqi, and although Gu Chongyang did not see it in person, he saw countless refugees pouring into Gyeonggi, and the people were displaced and starved everywhere.

On the way south from the capital, she also saw a lot of cruel things that she had never seen in her life.

Every time I think about it, I always feel like it's a nightmare.

At this time in the last life, the Tatars did not attack Daqi at all, how could it change so much?

Even if she is reborn, she will change some things, but she can only be limited to the personnel around her, how can even the pattern of the court change?

But now is not the time to think about this, she hurriedly asked: "Has the Tatar cavalry already broken through the Ningxia Guard?" ”

Lu Wu shook his head: "I don't know." There is no further news yet. ”

Even if there is more news, not many people will know about it, and it is impossible for a maid like Luwu to find out the news.

Perhaps this time the Tatar attack will soon be resisted by the soldiers of Daqi, and it is insignificant at all, so he will not have an impression in his previous life.

Ningxia Wei is one of the nine guards of the frontier, because of the fear of Tatars, the imperial court has always sent heavy troops to guard.

Even if the Tatars want to go south, there can only be a small flow of people, and if they attack on a large scale, Zhenyuanguan, which borders the Tatars, will definitely send a message to Ningxia Wei when they get the news, so that they can prepare as soon as possible, and they will never let the Tatar army cross the border like the imperial court.

Since it is a small group of Tatar stragglers, there is nothing to fear.

But Gu Chongyang was wrong this time, and Tatar did not go south from Zhenyuan Pass, but crossed the three mountains of Qingyangling and went south from Suweikou.

On the sly.

Not to mention that Zhenyuan Pass didn't know, but the border guards of Zhenbei Fort thought they were dazzled when they saw the Tatar army.

In just one afternoon, the Tatars breached the fort of Zhenbei, followed by the capture of Fort Leifu two days later, and then the attack on Ningxiawei.

The Tatar army quietly crossed the defense line, and captured two border fortresses in succession, and the news reached the capital, and the whole was shocked and in an uproar.

Emperor Jianxing Long Yan was furious, and immediately issued an order to let Hao Zhenzhong, the Marquis of Linjiang, who was the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi and the commander of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, lead his troops to clear the border and drive out the captives to boost the national prestige of Qi.

Hao Zhenzhong received the order to transfer troops, and gathered all his men and horses that night to support Ningxia Wei in the starry night.

In order to get the news at any time, the emperor didn't even go to the other courtyard to escape the summer, and the courtiers naturally didn't dare to enjoy it

Throughout July, the money flowed like fire, and the capital was also in a dire situation because of the Tatar southward incident, from the emperor to the courtiers.

And as soon as Hao Shaoyang learned the news of Tatar's southward departure, he wanted to help his grandfather Hao Zhenzhong, kill the Tartar, avenge his father, and protect his family and country.

Only then did Gu Chongyang know that Hao Shaoyang's father died on the battlefield when he was at war with the Tatars.

The night before leaving, Hao Shaoyang came to Gu Chongyang to say goodbye, which scared Gu Chongyang.

"You really want to go to Ningxiawei, do you know how dangerous it is?" Gu Chongyang worried: "Why are you alone, Zhang San and Li Si, why didn't they follow you?" ”

"I had already broken them apart, and with the two of them here, I couldn't get out." Hao Shaoyang said: "Cousin Chongyang, I have to kill a few Tartars to solve the hatred in my heart, and the hatred of killing my father is not shared." ”

Gu Chongyang's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and while giving Lu Wu a look, he said: "That's the battlefield, it's a real war, it's not a game on weekdays, no one will let you, hand-to-hand combat, who knows what accidents will happen." Hao Shaoyang, you can't go! ”

"I can't help but go! My grandfather was waiting for me. Hao Shaoyang's feelings were very indignant: "Go into battle with my brothers, fight tiger father and son, my father is gone, my uncle is seriously ill and died, I will go on behalf of my father." This is my mission. ”

Gu Chongyang asked for a while: "Linjiang Hou, does he know that you are going?" ”

"What does it matter if you know it or not?" Hao Shaoyang pouted and said: "It's too late to send a letter to my grandfather now, and when I go, my grandfather will naturally know." Cousin Chongyang, don't worry, I am skilled in swords and horses, strong in martial arts, and I can draw a bow and carry a sword, which is more than enough to protect myself. Besides, it's not just me, but Yao Junyan is with me, it's the prince of Huining, the two of us together, this time we must make war merits and break out of the Ming Hall. ”

"No, no, I still don't agree." Gu Chongyang grabbed his arm and said, "Your father died on the battlefield, your uncle died of a serious illness, and your Hao family now has only one seedling." Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, your father is so experienced, and he is dead on the battlefield, how can you guarantee that you will be safe? In case you have three fields and two shorts, your Hao family's incense will be cut off, your grandfather first died two sons, if there is no longer you, the only grandson, how can you let the old man support him. You can't go! ”

"Swords and guns have no eyes, and the manly husband dies on the battlefield without regrets." Hao Shaoyang said arrogantly: "Eighteen years later, he is still a good man!" ”

"You're only a teenager now?" Gu Chongyang said angrily: "You are not eighteen yet!" It's just a half-grown hairy child, and he dares to say anything about a manly husband. Why are you so naïve! ”

"It is the duty of the husband to protect the family and defend the country!" Hao Shaoyang was also anxious, and stared at Gu Chongyang: "You are a woman in the house, how can you understand our man's ambitions?" ”

Gu Chongyang fell down angrily: "If you really go, don't come back, I'll cut ties with you!" ”

"You!" Hao Shaoyang was also anxious: "I came to you alone behind my back on others, I thought you would be different from them, but I didn't expect you to be like this, mother-in-law, cousin Chongyang, you really disappointed me." ”

Hao Shaoyang looked disappointed and sad: "Since that's the case, then I'd better go!" ”

"You can't go!" Gu Chongyang took three steps and two steps to block Hao Shaoyang's way.

Hao Shaoyang was helpless: "Cousin Chongyang, you can't stop me." ”

"Then you can give it a try!" Gu Chongyang stretched out his arm and stopped at the door.

"You ......" Hao Shaoyang stepped forward and gently pulled Gu Chongyang's arm, Gu Chongyang resisted hard, but he didn't let it.

Hao Shaoyang was forced to use some force, and Gu Chongyang took advantage of the situation to exaggerate and shouted: "It hurts, my arm is going to break." ”

Hao Shaoyang's face changed greatly, he quickly let go of his hand, and asked anxiously, "How is it?" Where does it hurt? I told you to get out of the way, you see, it hurts, right? Where it hurts, you say! ”

As soon as his words fell, the eldest lady came to the Begonia Courtyard with four strong and powerful family members.

Hao Shaoyang saw that the situation was not good, so he wanted to run on the spot, but it was too late. The family brought by the eldest lady is not an ordinary family ding, it is the secret guard of the Qingyang Hou Mansion, all of them have unique skills, and their kung fu is even more first-class, how can Hao Shaoyang run.

After three or four moves back and forth, Hao Shaoyang was restrained, and he was so angry that he shouted: "You dead minions, there is a kind of letting go of the master, four against one, what kind of hero." Hurry up and let go of the master, the master will fight you one-on-one. ”
