Chapter Twenty-Seven: It's Hard to Say Goodbye When We Meet

"Brother Huan, this is your fifth aunt and his son, this is your sixth aunt and uncle, and this is ......" Gao Han was busy introducing Gao Huan to his own relatives in the room at the banquet. Gao Huan looked confused, remembering that he didn't have so many relatives when he first crossed over. Why is the whole courtyard full of seven aunts and eight aunts now, and the tables of the flowing water seats are placed on the street outside the door, and the neighbors who are watching the excitement nearby are amazed.

In front of the gate of the mansion, two large stone lions are hung with red flower segments, and the plaque on the lintel is two dragons and phoenixes dancing in big golden characters: Gaofu. This is Gao Shu's masterpiece, and Gao Huan's cheap dad is still good at X kung fu.

"Brother Huan." Gao Lan came over to greet his brother with a shy face, after so long, looking at Gao Huan, who was a little tanned, Gao Lan felt distressed and relieved. His younger brother was born and died only for this stormy family, and now he has finally made great contributions and has been rewarded by the imperial court, and the family is also reunited.

At this time, Gao Lan's face was full of tears of happiness, and she dreamed that she was still serving hard labor in the official kiln two years ago, and now she has become a lady in fine clothes and food. This gratitude and pride made Gao Lan unable to calm down for a long time.

"Sister, don't cry, you have to laugh on such a happy day, you know? Have a good laugh. In the future, no one will dare to underestimate us, and no one will dare to bully us again. Your good days have just begun. Gao Huan was full of distress and wiped away the tears on Gao Lan's cheeks. Maybe because he was an only son in his previous life, he had never felt the love of his sister, and Gao Lan herself had suffered a lot for this family, so Gao Huan was very concerned about her: In the future, I must find a partner for my sister who really loves her for life, it is not easy.

"Big brother, it's been a long time since I've seen you." Gao Chen also stepped forward timidly, this kid has grown taller, and he has become more and more handsome and straight, but he is a little handsome...... How to say it, it's a bit of a mother.

"Haha, your kid has grown a lot taller, I'm not at home, do you take care of my father and sister for me?" Gao Huan jokingly patted Gao Chen's shoulder and laughed happily. Gao Chen avoided the pain again and again, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing.

"Uncle, this is my boy, and he is sixteen years old this year. I want him to follow Brother Huan on an errand in the army, we are a family. You're going to have to do me a favor. A daughter-in-law of a relative in her thirties and forties pulled a boy to Gao Shu and wanted to leave, and while talking, she also stuffed a silver ticket in her hand into Gao Shu's hand. Gao Shumi's eyes lit up first, and then after seeing the young woman's face clearly, both eyes glowed green, and he said vaguely: "Then there is no need to say, they are all your own family, so you will come to the backyard alone to find me later." As he spoke, he was still dazzled by the hand of the young woman who gave him the silver ticket, and kept stroking it.

On this day, Gao Huan drank a lot of wine with those relatives who had never met, he didn't blame them, the world was hot and cold, and the people were sophisticated, which he had already experienced when he followed his mother after his father died of cancer in his previous life, as the saying goes, no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains. So many times Gao Huan doesn't blame those snobbish relatives, but only blames himself for not working hard.

In the dead of night, the guests were gone, Gao Huan was alone in front of the window in the room in a daze, he missed his mother very much, in his memory his father died at the age of six or seven, his mother worked hard for more than ten or twenty years to pull himself up, and he had not fulfilled his filial piety, he inexplicably traveled to the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties era, and now he can't go back, and he doesn't know if his mother lives alone, and she is really alone when she is not there. Thinking about it, Gao Huan couldn't help but secretly shed tears, this is an almost never action, he has been taught by his mother since he was a child: men don't flick when they have tears; The boy had gold under his knees. So he never shed tears, and he never easily conceded defeat to outsiders.

After crying for a while, Gao Huan wanted to drink, so he went to the kitchen to get some wine and sat in the room to pour himself a drink, at this time he missed a person, a woman: Lou Mingchun. I miss everything about her, her voice and smile, her body and skin, especially her body. Men are so strange, family love and desire are always entangled.

The next day, Gao Huan took Gao Yue and Li Erhu to ride horses to Yamen on duty. (The ancient general's mansion could not be used as an office, so there was another government office to handle military affairs), suddenly a person on the side of the road blocked the way, Li Erhu was about to ask, only to hear Gao Huan shout in surprise: "Red jade?!" Why are you here? ”

The person who came was Lou Mingchun's personal maid Hongyu, and she said expressionlessly: "Son, my young lady invites you to get together in the teahouse over there." ”

Gathering in the teahouse again, Gao Huan thought about how Mingchun could be so emotional, and met in the teahouse every time. So he asked, "When did your young lady come to Yecheng?" Since you're here, why don't you go to my house for a get-together? ”

Hongyu silently led the way in front, and Gao Huan was a little embarrassed to follow behind.

Gao Huan asked Li Erhu and Gao Yue to drink tea downstairs, and he went upstairs with Hongyu to see Lou Mingchun, which was still a private room on the second floor. The old rule Gao Huan arrived at the door, hurriedly tidied up his clothes and hat, gathered his hair, and only then took a step and pushed the door in.

I saw Lou Mingchun wearing an emerald green tulle dress, a water-red mopping skirt, a pale bandeau with snow-white tender skin, a bend of autumn-like eyes with willow eyebrows, a small nose with a little red lips, and a long hair that looked full of charm after being coiled up. Gao Huan was stunned, this wonderful person who thinks about it day and night, and now standing in front of him, he can't say the endless lovesickness of love.

Gao Huan said happily: "Mingchun, it's really you." stepped forward to hug him, but Lou Mingchun got up and refused very implicitly: "Son, sit less, let the slave family make tea for you." ”

Looking at Lou Mingchun's indifference, Gao Huan was a little surprised, and he was a little uneasy, and hurriedly said: "I don't drink tea, you and I have been separated for almost a year, how much I have missed you this year...... "After that, I wanted to go up and hug Lou Mingchun."

"Mr. Gao, please respect yourself." Lou Mingchun got up and made a slight angry appearance, but in Gao Huan's eyes, this anger was also very cute and seductive, and he hurriedly said: "Mingchun, what's wrong with you?" Why are you so indifferent to me after not seeing you for so long? ”

"Master Gao, sit down, let me pour you a cup of tea, and tell you something slowly." Lou Mingchun's jade hands gently filled a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Gao Huan.

"You say, you say, I just listen." Gao Huan stared at Lou Mingchun intently, and the teacup he picked up was put to his mouth in a daze.

"Childe, after you and I parted that year, my father gave me a blind date and forced me to marry, I would rather die than obey, and then my father knew that I often helped your family in private, so he used this to threaten me, I would not have complied, but ...... But......" said that, Lou Mingchun looked at Gao Huan with an expression of wanting to cry without tears.

Gao Huan felt that there must be something behind, so he asked very calmly, "What happened later?" ”

"Later, I found out that I was pregnant, how could I afford such a lot of pressure from a girl who had not left the cabinet, so I had to agree to my father's request and want to find someone to marry casually. God also took pity on me, taught me to meet my current husband, he didn't care about me being pregnant, he said that he would love me for the rest of his life, and he would take care of this child for the rest of his life......"

"Whose is that kid? Where is it now? Gao Huan is no longer interested in the things that follow, and the loss and anger in his heart at this moment cannot be expressed in a sentence or two.

"Kid...... It's yours. You forgot that we were ...... when you left that year" The voice behind Lou Mingchun was too small to be heard, but Gao Huan only had children in his mind at this time, and it was okay if the woman betrayed herself, I had to come back, this is the seed of my old Gao family. He clenched his fists and said in a somewhat muffled voice, "Where is the child now?" ”

"Kid...... Before the child was full-term, I had a miscarriage, and the child was already ...... He's dead. Lou Mingchun was obviously a little wrong when he said this, and his eyes were also very flustered.

"So......" Gao Huan raised his head with a cold, heartbroken look in his eyes, and said slowly: "You came to me today to tell me that now the two of us have nothing to do with each other?" ”

"Well, I just want to see you again and make this clear to you face to face." Lou Mingchun's eyes were also slightly red, and he lowered his head and said softly.

"What is there to say now, since you have long been married to a wife, why should we meet again? It's a long way to go, so you just have to send Ruby over and tell me about it. I deserve to part ways with you. Gao Huan said with a trembling bow. When a woman changes her mind, it is useless how you keep it, and a woman's desperation is more thorough and decisive than a man's. Gao Huan is conscious of this.

"It's not that I came here on purpose, it's just that I went to Luoyang with my husband to take up a post, passing by Yecheng, and I heard that you were here, so I ......" Every truth Lou Mingchun says now is like a blade, ruthlessly cutting Gao Huan's heart again and again. It really hurts, it hurts so much that he can't breathe. The pain was accompanied by bursts of anger.

"Hehe, too, you are the daughter of Shangshu, and you should be matched with a big male owner. How can I marry a homeless man like me, isn't it wronged by you? Gao Huan's tone was full of cold ridicule, not only mocking Lou Mingchun's ruthless betrayal, but also ridiculous for his wishful thinking.

"Why did Childe say this, there is no grass at the end of the world, and I also hope that Childe can meet a good woman who really loves you and understands you for a lifetime in the future." Lou Mingchun raised his head and looked at Gao Huan with a serious face.

"Haha, you don't have to worry about this, I'd rather be alone from now on than be teased and deceived again!" Then he got up and raised his head and drank the tea on the table in one gulp, and said with a bow of his hand: "Farewell!" ”

"Gao Gongzi......" Lou Mingchun also got up immediately, and shouted a little reluctantly.

"Take care!" When Gao Huan turned his back to Lou Mingchun and finally said these two words, his mind was blank, physically and mentally exhausted, he didn't know how he got home, he only knew that he slept under the quilt for a day and a night.

Ruyi came back that afternoon, as soon as she returned to Gao Huan's side, she chattered to Gao Huan about what she had seen and heard when she returned to the palace these days, Gao Huan just looked at her stupidly, at first Ruyi just felt that Gao Huan was a little abnormal, but when Gao Huan was crazy about her at night, she faintly felt that something might have happened.

"Officer, what's wrong with you today? I always feel that you are weird," Ruyi asked softly in Gao Huan's arms. But Gao Huan's eyes were hollow, and he lay there in a daze, without saying a word.

Ruyi got up, looked at Gao Huan with a straight face and asked, "Official? What the hell is wrong with you? ”

This Ruyi is also a long flower and moon appearance, petite and exquisite, the two dimples look particularly cute with a smile, and the two smart and bright big eyes look playful with a bit of intelligence.

Gao Huan seemed to come back to his senses thoughtfully and replied: "Ruyi, stay by my side for the rest of your life, don't leave, okay?" ”

"Fool officer, how could I leave you? As long as you don't want me. Ruyi fell into Gao Huan's arms with a happy face. At this time, I am happy, at least at this time, I am the happiest, Ruyi secretly told herself in her heart.
