Chapter 002: Memories of Elopement
---------------------------------------❀The following is the official opening of the memoirs❀-------------------------------------------
Abstract: More than half a year ago, I fought in the border between Liang and Beiling in the south, the two armies were deadlocked for more than two months, until I went to the border in person to the prince, personally attacked the enemy camp at night, captured the enemy marshal Shu Yun alive, as a hostage to threaten, only to get the temporary truce of the enemy country, Beiling was originally a nomadic people, arrogant by nature, governing the country with force, regardless of men and women, all advocating force, so the military is strong, the Southern Dynasty Liang is difficult to look at its back, now, the Marshal Beiling was captured, for a while the dragon has no leader, the Southern Dynasty Liang did not dare to be too aggressive, only brought Shuyun back to the capital as a hostagein exchange for a semblance of peace between the two sides.
On the outskirts of the city, the evening sunset is low, and the black clouds are even lowering the sky, it is the middle of winter of the year, and all that can be seen everywhere are broken and decayed dead branches, and occasionally a few babbling birds chirping, adding a bit of redundancy.
"Miss, go back."
The maid next to her kept looking around, and stepped forward to weave a warm mink cloak for the woman.
The woman is about sixteen or seventeen years old, her eyes are like a pool of the world's clear pool, at this time with a wisp of light smoke melancholy, her lips are pink and white, her skin is brighter than snow, and her cloud hair is plump, like paint and ink. This is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the first daughter of the family in the capital, Gu Yuyin.
A pair of slender jade hands clutched the ice bone feather fan given by the man, the sky was already dark, and there were a few branches of Jiangmei next to the wild bridge not far away, alone in the silver and white world, and at a glance only cared about the two masters and servants. She had persuaded the maid Yuzi to leave, but in the end, she was heartfelt and unwilling to leave, Gu Yuyin spoke again:
"Yuzi, you take this money."
"Miss!" The maid Yuzi was so anxious that her eyes were red, and her voice was a little hurried:
"Go back, miss, he won't come!"
The sky was cloudy, the sound of rustling came quickly and violently, the snowflakes fell on her shoulders one after another, and Yuzi opened the oil-paper umbrella and waited for a bright ending with her master. The snow was tight for a while, and Gu Yuyin only stared at the elephantless city, and his pace never wavered.
Yuzi looked at it now, anxious but there was nothing to do for a while.
Gu Yuyin, the daughter of the prime minister, the first lady of the family in Beijing, this first, not only the first in the world, if you talk about appearance and talent, they are all the best in Beijing, leading countless children of the family to bend their waists, and in this Beijing, no one knows, this Miss Gu is already the best candidate for the future princess, how can others be involved?
Speaking of this prince, it is a must, the queen's sister-in-law, handsome and chic, scholarly spirit, scolding Fang Xuan, Wen Neng court, Wu Neng frontier enemy fight, the current queen and the emperor are childhood sweethearts, over the years the couple have been in love, since the birth of the queen's son-in-law, less than three years old was established as the prince, all the way up, lived up to the expectations of the emperor, won the favor, and at the same time won the public opinion among the people. Won the support of the people.
Because his father is an important minister in the court, Gu Yuyin has studied in Taixue with the prince and princess in the palace since he was a child, Gu Yuyin's appearance since he was a child is very outstanding, and he is indispensable to laugh at some spoiled children of the family, and at this time, it is often the prince of the court who reprimands the ill-intentioned people, the little boy, the sword eyebrows and starry eyes, but only protects the cardamom girl who is ignorant with a pair of watery eyes, and even the prince's sister-in-law Princess Jianing, so the number of times she eats it is not small.
It's just that this prince has never exposed the matter between him and Gu Yuyin, and others only default to the fact that the two are a pair of people who are interested in Lang You's concubine.
In the past six months, Gu Yuyin has gradually distanced himself from the prince, and the prince went to the frontier to sit in the town again, and when Gu Yuyin went out alone, he was rescued by a man dressed in black after accidentally falling into the water, polite and undecent, and after that, Gu Yuyin said goodbye to him at the palace banquet only to know that he was actually the Marshal of Beiling, Shuyun. The prince respects and treats each other with the courtesy of a gentleman, except that he sends his henchmen to follow him closely and is not allowed to go out of the capital, in the capital, he has not stopped half of it, but he has left a back hand, with the world's top pharmacist, the prince's teacher Yuncang Pavilion old Dumen poison to make him take it, every three days must get the antidote, otherwise no one can cure it, in the past six months, Shu Yun has also been calm.
It would not be a secret that Shu Yun and Gu Yuyin wanted to come to the prince, although they repeatedly threw off the prince's attendants, but in the end, there were not a few times they were bumped into, Gu Yuyin only thought that the prince must have no intention of her, so he ignored it like this.
Three days ago, that person had taken advantage of the time when she and her young lady were out, and came to make an appointment with her young lady, Gu Yuyin knew that since she was close to her, she knew that this Nuo Danan Dynasty Liang could not accommodate this pair of lovers, she only thought about being with her beloved, and it was difficult to match any palace wealth.
It's just that the appointed hour has long passed, but there is no sound of a lover running to this silent mountain in all directions, only this sudden blizzard, wrapped in this strong wind, pouring down the city, splashing on this silver white ground, flying flowers and splashing mud, all quiet.
Bright as the moon, it is not fragrant.
The maid Yuzi put away the paper umbrella, only to realize that the snow had passed, and it was a little colder. The path was muddy, even though it was snowing, Gu Yuyin's skirt was also covered with splashing mud, and it seemed that she had lost all her strength and fell to the ground:
"How so, how could it be..."
The man was relieved to go to the appointment.
"Over there!"
I don't know how long it took, Gu Yuyin was pulled back by the sound of the crowd coming from afar, and she couldn't care about the unkempt face at the moment, so she hurriedly pulled the maid Yuzi and ran towards the opposite place.
"It's my lord! They're after it! ”
Yuzi's exclamation attracted the attention of the soldiers who came to find Gu Yuyin, and they chased after them.
"Don't talk, run!"
The matter has come to this, Gu Yuyin's mind can only escape, can only run, and the farther he runs, the better.
But the pampered young lady couldn't withstand the well-trained government soldiers, and she was soon surrounded by the government soldiers who caught up.
"Miss, go back."
The housekeeper is the one who watched Gu Yuyin grow up, or wants to persuade lightly.
“……”
Gu Yuyin's eyes were red and he didn't say a word.
"I can help you explain to the master, no one will know about today."
The housekeeper knew in his heart that the number of times the young lady left the house these days was becoming more and more frequent, and he was not ignorant of the rumors in the house, but in the end, he still didn't believe it, and he didn't believe that Gu Yuyin would do such an outrageous thing as eloping.
"What do you think?" Gu Yuyin finally raised his head and looked directly, his tone was innate with arrogance and stubbornness,
"Do you think I'll be able to go back?"
Looking up to the sky and smiling, everything withered, a tear finally fell, Gu Yuyin lost the bet, how could her father not tolerate her, the world is so big, and she doesn't know where to go home.
"Miss..."
Yuzi's submissive voice came from behind, but the latter sentence was different from the previous timidity, with full determination,
"Miss, I'm sorry."
With a knife in his hand, Gu Yuyin fainted in Yuzi's arms. The maid Yuzi was originally from a martial arts family, and she was Gu Yuyin's personal maid, originally to protect her safety, but now it has come in handy.
The maid who was guarding in front of the bed saw Gu Yuyin's eyes loosen slightly, her curled eyelashes fluttered, and the girl slowly opened her eyes.
"Wake up, Miss wake up!"
The maid Yuzi, who had grown up since childhood, saw Gu Yuyin wake up, and her tone was overjoyed.
Looking at the bed tent curtains decorated with intricate patterns, as well as the familiar ornaments in the house, and the ice bone feather fan that made her desperate, Gu Yuyin closed her eyes again, or ...... I can't escape
"Yin'er, finally wake up, my Yin'er." Gu Yuyin's biological mother, Jiang Zhiyi, was crying and crying on the side.
"Rebel girl!" Gu Yunqi, Gu Yuyin's father, was more angry at the moment than he felt sorry for his daughter, angry that his daughter who had been taught by the four books and five classics since she was a child did such a shameless thing.
Gu Yuyin is the prime minister of the dynasty, and Gu Yuyin's incident is not small, and even the prime minister's face is full of face.
knocked over the decoction that Yuzi was bringing in, Prime Minister Gu walked out angrily, and Mrs. Jiang hurriedly followed.
There was silence in the room for a moment.
Gu Yuyin half-sat on the bed and watched the backs of the two leaving, and caught a glimpse of a few plum blossoms that were about to wither by the bed, wild plums are wild plums after all, and they can't compare to the plum blossoms polished by craftsmen, but in the end they are also decaying, and they can't help but think about it and cry silently.
"Sister, sister doesn't cry."
The little voice of the immature child came, and a fleshy lotus-like hand was holding a handkerchief and wanted to help Gu Yuyin wipe away her tears, but she was still young, and her little arms and short legs crawled for a long time and she couldn't get to the edge of the bed.
"Minor repairs."
Gu Yuyin turned sideways and picked him up and sat on the edge of the bed, Gu Fuxiu's big eyes rolled for a long time, looking at everything around him, but he could only repeat in his mouth:
"Sister doesn't cry, doesn't cry."
Looking at the handkerchief that Gu Fuxiu had been handing, Gu Yuyin took it, wiped his cheeks, and gently pressed his head against Gu Fuxiu's little head:
"Okay, sister doesn't cry, Xiao Xiu is not in a hurry."
Just as Gu Fuxiu was grinning and sitting at the head of the bed and smirking, another voice came from outside the house:
"Sister."
Gu Yusong pushed open the door, still holding the bowl of decoction that had been knocked over and boiled again.
Seeing Gu Yusong, Gu Fuxiu hurriedly jumped off the bed, and before Gu Yuyin could react, watching him jump off the edge of the bed with his own height, fortunately, Gu Yuyin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Sister."
Gu Fuxiu didn't dare to get too close to Gu Yuyin, so he had to run far away and shout at Gu Yusong in the corner, "Sister." ”
Gu Yusong put the medicine on the table to cool, and only said lightly:
"It's the eldest sister and the second sister."
Walking towards Gu Fuxiu again, Gu Fuxiu's small body was close to the pillar behind him, and it was inevitable to avoid the people who came.
Although Gu Yusong's voice was calm, Gu Fuxiu still shrank up, and only heard one sentence:
"Sister, it's not you who can shout."
"Song of words."
Gu Yuyin didn't want Gu Yusong to scare Gu Fuxiu again, so she softly called her to her side, every time it was like this, Gu Fuxiu always saw Gu Yusong scared and then took the opportunity to slip away.
"You scared him." Although Gu Yuyin's tone was not half reproachful, Gu Yusong still saw a little dissatisfaction.
Shrugged his shoulders senselessly, Gu Yusong looked at the back of Xiao Gu Fuxiu's "deserted escape", the little short legs and the milk fat on his face that had not disappeared, and laughed out loud.
Seeing her like this, Gu Yuyin lightly tapped her eyebrows with her fingers, and said:
"You girl."
As everyone knows, the prime minister and his wife are a husband and wife in distress, Qin Se and Ming have been in harmony for many years, and there are no concubines in the house, although the lady only has two daughters, the prime minister is not half dissatisfied, and the two daughters have been pampered like pearls in the palm of their hands. Until two years ago, a woman came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to look for relatives while pregnant, and the person she was looking for was the Prime Minister of the Dynasty - Gu Cheng. At that time, the prime minister was in the court, and his wife was tolerant and brought the woman into the house as a guest, and after returning to the house, the confrontation realized that it was the prime minister's drunken affair half a year ago when he went out on official business that led to today's situation.
The room was silent, and finally Mrs. Song couldn't bear the pain and made a decision to include this woman in the prime minister's mansion as a concubine, although she was not favored by the prime minister, but a few months later, she gave birth to a son and became the only son of the prime minister's mansion - Gu Fuxiu, but unfortunately the long-term hard work in the early stage of pregnancy made the child insufficient in the womb, but in a few months, it was seen that it was a demented child, but unfortunately the red lips and white teeth were like the prime minister's good skin when he was young.
Song Zhiyi is generous and reasonable, fortunately, this woman is not a bad heart, after a few years of getting along, the two are like sisters, and they are extremely harmonious, but the second daughter Gu Yuyin always emphasizes the difference between the dignity and inferiority of Gu Fuxiu, so the stupid Gu Fuxiu has always been afraid of this second sister from childhood to adulthood, and prefers the gentle and beautiful eldest sister Gu Yuyin.
Seeing that Gu Fuxiu had already gone away, Gu Yusong stepped forward, and only slowly spoke until he watched Gu Yuyin drink the medicine:
"Sister..."
Gu Yuyin picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped it gently, although his expression looked a little better, but in the end he was still a person with a dead heart, and his voice was hoarse like the dry riverbed of the Zhanghe River in February:
"I was wrong."
Before he could ask, Gu Yusong heard a low sob, and he didn't dare to speak again, only persuading the eldest sister to take care of herself.
was about to leave, but Gu Yuyin grabbed her wrist and turned around, and the infatuated woman's heartbroken eyes fell into her eyes:
"You say, why didn't he come, why did he ......?"
Gu Yusong sighed: "Sister, in the final analysis, it is difficult to live long." ”
Gu Yusong looked at Gu Yuyin, who was no longer so proud, and stayed in the room to talk with him for a long time, until the lights turned on, and then closed the door and left, but in the end, there was always some obscure color in his eyes that others couldn't figure out for a while.
After retiring the redundant maid and leaving, although Gu Yuyin closed her eyes, she couldn't fall asleep.
