Chapter 22: The Old Lady

Taifu's mansion was not far from the Gao family's ancestral house, they didn't take a carriage, and walked in the direction of the mansion, the weather was freezing and the sky was covered with snowflakes.

For Liu Yingxue, Lingyang in the west seems to be drier and colder, she has always been a person who is afraid of the cold, and her petite body is shrunk into a ball.

Gao Mingxuan frowned as he watched from the sidelines, letting her walk behind her, and her long figure shielded her from the oncoming wind and snow.

She smiled slightly, her subtle movements were in her eyes, and her heart was full of warmth, but she didn't say it. His kindness to her was all in his heart.

The mansion was close in front of her, and the dark brown wooden door exuded a hint of ancient vicissitudes, and it seemed that the house that the Taifu family had placed in Lingyang City was also many years old.

The attendant opened the door, welcomed them in, walked straight towards the study through the courtyard, she was a little nervous, it is rumored that this Taifu is a strict person, once assisted the current emperor, but later because of disagreement, Taifu took the initiative to resign from his official position and return to his hometown in Lingyang.

The door of the study opened, and she saw an old man with gray hair sitting on a mahogany chair, with a serious expression on his face, holding a brush in his hand, writing on the flat paper one by one.

Liu Yingxue sighed in her heart, worthy of being the Taifu of the Northern Li Kingdom, I heard that the prince once worshipped him as a teacher, and after the old lady resigned, the prince said goodbye to the Taifu.

"Nephew to see Elder Duan." Gao Mingxuan bowed respectfully to Taifu.

The old lady put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and glanced at Gao Mingxuan, his dark eyes revealed a bit of clarity, unlike other old men's cloudy eyes, his tone was calm, and he said slowly: "Mingxuan, you are here." ”

This tone sounded as if she had expected it a long time ago, there was no surprise, but it was a little peaceful, Liu Yingxue also bowed to the old lady when she saw this, and called respectfully: "Yingxue has seen the Taifu." ”

The old lady laughed, the wrinkles on his face also relaxed, and he looked at Liu Yingxue with a pleasant face; "You are the same as Ming Xuan, just call me Duan Lao, Taifu is just a former official position, and now I am a cloth cloth."

Gao Mingxuan bowed again, his face was silent, and he said in a heavy voice: "Elder Duan, I am here to tell Duan Ming today, he went to join the army, I couldn't stop him, and I ask Elder Duan for forgiveness." ”

The old lady stood up, her face did not show any grief or anger, but she wrote the words "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold" on the paper very calmly.

Then, the old lady stopped writing, handed the paper to the attendant beside him and ordered: "Hang up the words, wait for Duan Ming to come back, and then put the words away, the old man didn't hurt this little son in vain, he can be regarded as a contribution to Beili, young people should have their own revenge and ideals, how can I, a father, be an obstacle to him." ”

Liu Yingxue was dumbfounded when she watched from the side, she thought that the old lady would beat her chest, because she had heard Gao Mingxuan mention the matter of the Duan family, Duan Ming was the old lady's most beloved son, personally taught him calligraphy, and invited people with strong martial arts to teach him martial arts and swordsmanship.

"Duan Mingji people have their own natural appearance." Gao Mingxuan's brows furrowed, and he folded his hands together to make a prayer motion.
