Chapter 97: Mrs. Lou's letter provokes melancholy

The eldest son, Gao Cheng, walked in, his hair was tied very neatly, and he only had a plain hosta inserted. He was wearing a very ordinary black regular clothes, looking at ease and leisure. He still has a beautiful complexion, but between his eyebrows, he has gone to the impetuousness and added a sven atmosphere. If it weren't for the people who knew him well, they wouldn't be able to see it at this moment, and the eldest prince was also a general who was thirsty for killing, and he would see blood when his sword came out.

"Don't say it." Yuan Zhonghua's anxious and embarrassed voice came from inside through the curtain.

Ah Jiao smiled and looked at the low-hanging curtain, walked up and whispered a few words in Gao Cheng's ear, and then left.

Gao Cheng couldn't see any change in expression on his face. But he completely understood the meaning of his mother's letter.

As soon as Ah Jiao went out, the room was quiet inside and outside through the curtain. The mountain breeze passed, and only the pine waves outside the house were heard. Gao Cheng walked over slowly, opened the curtain and walked in without hesitation. At a glance, I saw the delicate pale crimson back. Yuan Zhonghua was standing in front of the window with his back to him, and when he heard the sound of his husband walking in, Yuan Zhonghua immediately turned around, looking at Gao Cheng with a frightened face and at a loss. Just as she turned around, a gold tassel inserted in her bun also crossed a beautiful arc, brushing on Yuan Zhonghua's sideburns, stunning Gao Cheng's eyes.

Yuan Zhonghua saw Gao Cheng's extremely beautiful dark green eyes looking at her unshyly, as if he had been burned, and quickly turned his head to look at the lilac chrysanthemums in a clay bottle in the corner of the house. Both of them knew what Mrs. Lou meant, but Yuan Zhonghua was in a hurry because he was surprised and didn't know how to face it; But Gao Cheng was ready to push the boat down the river and act as he pleased.

and the main lady Yuan Zhonghua round room, this must be a matter of time or time. Since his mother ordered so, and earnestly hoped that he could have a son-in-law, it was not impossible. Of course, Gao Cheng knew in his heart the importance of this sister-in-law. Since he has a bad reputation for expelling the Son of Heaven, there is no doubt that there is a rift with the Yuan Emperor. If Princess Feng Yi, who is an emperor, Yuan Zhonghua, gives birth to a concubine as the wife of the main family, the rift will inevitably be repaired. This sister-in-law has a nephew and uncle with the current Great Wei Emperor Yuan Shanjian, and he will definitely reconcile with the Yuan clan. And the weight of such a son-in-law must not be ignored in the heart of his father, Prime Minister Gao Huan. If you talk about the understanding of the great prime minister Gao Huan, of course, it is the concubine Mrs. Lou who knows him best.

A letter from Mrs. Lou, which in itself indicates her attitude. Madame Lou hopes that her eldest son will be restored to the throne, hoping that he will take over the authority of the Gao clan as his father's heir in the future and continue to push the Gao clan to a higher peak.

Yuan Zhonghua didn't know what Gao Cheng was thinking, but he felt that he was looking at her so intently, which made her panic.

Since leaving Luoyang, arriving in Jinyang, going to Tenglong Mountain, and living in Manyun Pavilion, in fact, they are rarely together. Gao Cheng was immersed in reading, and his study was not far from her apartment. It's just that they don't meet often. Most of the time, she's on her own.

Gao Cheng no longer hesitated, not to mention that Yuan Zhonghua's panic had already disturbed his heart, giving him an impulse that he hadn't had for a long time. He walked up to her, and suddenly snatched the silk silk she was still holding in her hand and threw it aside. Before Yuan Zhonghua could react, he was already hugged into his arms. His lips had fallen on hers. They hadn't been this close in a long, long time.

At this time, Gao Cheng's heart suddenly became arrogant. The mood that had been lost for a long time was instantly high at this moment. He seems to have found the self he used to be full of spirit and world-minded. At this time, the gloom in his heart was swept away, and he no longer doubted himself, nor was he burdened. It seems that he has grasped the best things and found the most perfect self, so he wants to keep it all the time. If there is no choice, if there is no way back, then he must persevere with high morale.

In his gradual indulgence, Yuan Zhonghua's ten fingers that nervously and stiffly grasped Gao Cheng's clothes on both shoulders gradually relaxed, and snuggled weakly into his arms.

"Lord Hao, Mr. Cui said that Cui Gong, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, came from Yecheng and asked to see Lord Lang." Outside the curtain, A's voice suddenly sounded, very low and soft, obviously afraid of disturbing the couple inside the curtain. It can be seen that she is also forced to do so. It's just that now the sun is shining, and the timing is not right for the people inside the curtain. Mr. Cui is an honorific title for Cui Xian, and it can be seen that the eldest prince Gao Cheng attaches great importance to Cui Xian. "Huangmen Squire Cui Gong" obviously refers to Cui Xian's uncle Cui Jishu, but he can't call his uncle by his name, and Ah Jiao's words are just according to his original words.

The man in the curtain must have heard it, but did not reply. Ah Jiao just stood quietly and didn't say anything more.

Gao Cheng was about to go further when he was interrupted at the critical moment, and he slowly calmed down first, only to find that Yuan Zhonghua in his arms was trembling violently, and even his heart was beating like a drum, his body was weak, and he was embarrassed, but he just fell on his shoulders and refused to raise his head. Gao Cheng hugged her waist, stroked Yuan Zhonghua's back, and whispered in her ear, "Wait for me...... The next official will go back when he goes. ”

At the moment when they were inseparably separated, the hair on Yuan Zhonghua's forehead brushed across Gao Cheng's cheeks. Gao Cheng had already made up his mind at this time, let go of Yuan Zhonghua, and walked out slowly without hurrying. glanced at Ah Jiao, but went out without saying anything.

Ah Jiao watched Lord Lang walk out of the house, walked to the edge of the platform and went down the stone steps, then turned around and came in with a curtain.

Princess Feng Yi, Yuan Zhonghua, actually crouched by the window and wept lowly, almost unable to cry, her cheeks wet.

Ah Jiao was greatly surprised, and hurriedly came over to help Madame sit down, and then dared to ask slowly, "What's wrong with Your Highness?" Is the eldest prince slow to treat His Highness? ”

Yuan Zhonghua shook his head, and it took a long time to gradually stop, his eyes were already red, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "It's better if you don't go out here for the rest of your life." ”

Yuan Zhonghua is a sensitive and thoughtful person, and he thinks about everything in his heart, and he must sort it out clearly and think about it before he stops. It is a good thing for Mrs. Lou to urge her children to write a letter, but I don't know how Yuan Zhonghua is sad about this. Ah Jiao didn't figure it out, so she could only slowly comfort, "Lord Lang is sincere to his wife, why is his wife so sad?" ”

This didn't sound right to Yuan Zhonghua, but she didn't say anything more.

In fact, Gao Cheng has been studying quietly in the past few days in Manyun Pavilion. And the eldest prince's study is not far from Mrs. Yuan Zhonghua's bed, Pillow Xia Pavilion. On a ridge that goes down the mountain not long from Chaolu Pavilion, the upper position on the east side of the Pillow Xia Pavilion, suddenly emerges a small house like a pavilion with a spire, the house is only as small as a pavilion, surrounded by windows on three sides, one side is the door, the title is "Tianyi Zhai".

From a distance, Tianyizhai is inconspicuous at all, only those long and warped cornices are extremely beautiful. In fact, the inside is even more inconspicuous, and the room is so small that it can hardly accommodate one person to sit and lie down. However, there is a big platform outside the house, like a pillow pavilion. Standing on the platform and looking at the railing, even I feel as if I am suspended in the air, like a person in the sky. Looking into the distance, there are always mountains and clouds, and people don't know where they are.

Gao Cheng, the son of Gao Cheng, who was clearly designated by his father as the successor since he was a child, was brave and invincible on the battlefield, and was arrogant in the court, but since he was abolished for a few months, he has been able to endure his temperament to study behind closed doors in this hut.

Cui Jishu and Cui Xian's uncle and nephew, who were waiting on the platform, saw it immediately the moment the eldest son ascended the stone steps to the platform, and the uncle and nephew stepped forward one after the other, and bowed down and called in unison, "Lord Lang." ”

Gao Cheng walked inside as if no one was around, and he didn't speak, as if he was going to enter the house.

"Lord Lang!" Cui Jishu followed up and called urgently.

Cui Xian followed behind his uncle, deliberately distancing himself and looking at the two who were also friends, kings and ministers, and master and servants. He knew that the relationship between Lord Lang and his uncle was extraordinary, and he consciously gave up space.

Gao Cheng stopped and stood still, and looked back at Cui Jishu without hurrying and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Cui Jishu looked at Tian Yizhai behind Gao Cheng in embarrassment, then retracted his gaze to look at Gao Cheng, and hesitated rather unspeakably, "Lord Lang...... You...... Your study is too small to accommodate so many people, I'm afraid I'll lose my manners. ”

"yes, that's right." Gao Cheng replied lightly, turned around and walked forward, obviously not hearing what Cui Jishu said.

Cui Jishu followed behind Gao Cheng, looking at his slightly thin figure, it seemed that there was a faint layer of depression, and his heart became even more uneasy.

Gao Cheng stopped at the door of the study, and suddenly turned around again and looked at Cui Jishu.

Cui Jishu also hurriedly stopped, and Cui Xian stopped farther away.

Cui Jishu looked up at Gao Cheng in confusion, only to find that he was already covered with dark clouds, looking at him gloomily.

"Lord Lang ......" Cui Jishu was even more puzzled.

"The study is too small, isn't it? It's too far from Yecheng to Jinyang, isn't it? Tenglong Mountain is too high, isn't it? So why are you here? Why do you want to recognize me as the master? Gao Cheng suddenly said angrily.

"Lord Lang!" Cui Jishu suddenly laughed, knelt down in front of Gao Cheng with a plop, and laughed, "Lord Lang, it's all Shuzheng's fault." Uncle Zheng can't help himself in Yecheng, he is controlled by others, and he can't be loyal to Lord Lang, so he asks Lord Lang to punish Uncle Zheng, and Uncle Zheng is willing to be punished. ”

"Get out!" Gao Cheng shouted angrily, and then raised his foot and kicked at Uncle Cui Ji.

Cui Jishu didn't dodge or dodge, and was kicked so crooked. There is no scene that is not idle or indifferent, and there is no standard expression that is not cloudy or sunny, this is really the son of the world in his heart who has come to life.

Cui Xian didn't speak, and he didn't move. Obviously, he also saw that the eldest prince was thundering and raining, but he released the sulk that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time by taking advantage of his willfulness with his uncle. And only when he was with his uncle, the pair of friends would have such a tacit understanding.

"Lord Lang, Uncle Zheng doesn't miss Lord Lang in his heart every day, but he ......" Cui Jishu suddenly felt sour in his heart and burst into tears. It's just that I can't help myself. If you can still have the protection of Lord Lang as before, it will naturally be convenient for Uncle Zheng, but now it is really different from before. ”

Gao Cheng only listened and didn't speak, but his heart suddenly sank. I have always had something that I am used to, and only when I lose it can I understand how rare it is. It's just that he didn't do it on the surface, but said angrily, "Only you are so clever to say things." As he spoke, he glanced at Cui Xian and said, "Fortunately, Ji Lun is not the same as you." ”

Cui Xian came up and replied respectfully, "Uncle is not here, but his heart is always here with Lord Lang." I'm just afraid that there will be more people who will be suspicious. ”

This last sentence is quite meaningful. Gao Cheng didn't speak, but glanced at him.

"Lord Lang." At this time, a very handsome little servant came up from the stone steps, walked close and replied, "There is a person named Yang Yu who does not know what official position he has, he came from Yecheng, and he is outside at this moment to ask to see Lord Lang. ”

Gao Cheng, Cui Jishu, and Cui Xian turned their heads to look at the little servant in unison. The servant lowered his head slightly, calmly waiting for the eldest prince's orders.

"Who are you talking about?" Gao Cheng asked in disbelief.

"Yang Su, from Yecheng." The servant replied.

"No, no. This is a quiet place to read, and there are no foreign ministers. Gao Cheng immediately commanded.

"Yes." The little servant received the order very calmly, but he did not leave, and said eloquently, "Yang Su said that if Lord Lang is gone, please return to him, he also studied in the hut of Tenglong Mountain in Jinyang when he was a teenager. This time I came back to pay my respects to the deceased, and I still live here. I look forward to learning from the eldest son, so that I can ask the eldest prince for advice. If the eldest prince is not seen today, he will not dare to ask for extravagance, but will only wait in the hut. ”

Gao Cheng waved his hand, and the servant went.

It seems that Yang Yu knew that Gao Cheng would not see him, so he was not obsessed with it.

Yang Su was born in the Hongnong Yang family, and he was also a family member of the Northern Dynasty. 's father accumulated to Sikong, but the Yang clan was wiped out by the Erzhu clan. The surviving Yang Su was deeply loved by the prime minister Gao Huan, and he was very well educated, so he was received by the prime minister in Yecheng after several twists and turns, and he had just been promoted to the history of Taiyuan as the governor of the public.

The key point is that Yang Yu and Gao Yang, the second son of Taiyuan Gong, who was in the limelight at this time, have been in close contact, and he is also Gao Yang's person, so why bother to come to Jinyang to see Gao Cheng?

"Yang Su, this person, the city is very deep, what does he mean when he came to Jinyang to see Lord Lang?" There are no outsiders, Cui Jishu speaks very openly. This question is a common question in the minds of the three people present. It's just that Cui Jishu's tone is obviously optimistic, and he is indeed such a person.

"No matter what he means, returning to his hometown to pay tribute to his old man, it's just that he is afraid that he will lose his manners if he doesn't enter the door, what does it have to do with me?" Gao Cheng left no trace behind.

"The eldest prince is a quiet place here, and it really shouldn't be contaminated by outsiders." Cui Xian also said lightly.

Cui Jishu didn't say anything more, in fact, he had already started thinking about other things in his heart. What is Lord Lang's mind now, he hasn't fully figured it out, but I'm afraid that he will sway left and right in the future, so it's better for him to be reborn now, try and temptation, and by the way, help Lord Lang make up his mind in one fell swoop.
