The night was dark. In the study, a light is like a bean. Gu Yan pressed the just-written policy with a paperweight, quietly waiting for the ink to dry.

Suddenly, he picked up the rice paper on the table and kneaded it vigorously, the corners of his lips slowly hooked, and a bitter smile overflowed.

"Cousin, I am obsessed with Ke and Vake, and I look at it as far away. Therefore, the gentleman rules people with people, and stops at changing. What is the meaning of this sentence? The girl's crisp, sweet voice rang out in the room.

Gu Yan put down the Zihao pen in his hand with a smile, his elegant and elegant eyebrows did not have the slightest displeasure to be disturbed, he smiled and explained: "This sentence is ......"

The voice as clear as water echoed in the study, and as soon as he said a few words, the owner of the voice stopped abruptly.

Gu Yan opened his eyes and looked at the empty study, his chaotic mind suddenly sobered up, and his deep eyes were only lonely.

"Da Lang, haven't you slept yet?" Outside the house, Mrs. Gu knocked on the door.

Gu Yan instantly came back to his senses and looked at a painting that had just been pressed under the strategy. He was silent, quickly rolling up the paper on the table. The smiling girl gradually disappeared from her eyes.

Gu Yan put the painting in the paper tube on the side, he got up and opened the door of the study.

Outside the house, Old Madam Gu was wearing homely clothes, her eyebrows were loving, she looked at Shaoxiu's unparalleled eldest grandson, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Da Lang, can grandmother go in and sit down?" ”

Old Madam Gu's late night visit was a very strange thing in itself. Gu Yan behaved as usual, as if he didn't notice anything wrong, he bent over and saluted: "Grandmother, please." ”

Old Madam Gu stepped up to follow. She looked around the layout in the study, nodded secretly, and found a Taishi chair to sit down.

"Da Lang, seeing that you are already weak, it is time for the marriage to look like you." Old Madam Gu looked at the eldest grandson in front of her, who was also her only grandson, and did not choose a relatively roundabout way of talking, but went straight to the point.

Gu Yan was not surprised by his grandmother's sudden topic, his eyebrows were still calm and secluded, like a quiet lake.

Gu Yan lowered his eyebrows and said calmly: "Grandmother, my grandson has not succeeded in his career, and he doesn't want to marry a wife for the time being." ”

"Da Lang, autumn is coming, and you need a wife to take care of your diet and daily life. Your mother and I are old, and we don't know how hot or cold as anyone around our bed. The grandson's refusal was expected by Mrs. Gu, and there was no displeasure in her expression that was brushed by the junior, but gentle and loving, as in the past.

Facing such a grandmother, Gu Yan felt a deep sense of exhaustion in his heart. He was enlightened at the age of three, and began to read the scriptures at the age of five, since he was sensible, the glory of the Gu family has been on his shoulders, but now, Gu Yan's heart is confused.

In and out of the phase, reshape the family's appearance, is this really what he wants? Clearly...... The woman with whom he could share the glory is gone.

"Da Lang, what are you thinking?" The sadness and blankness in Gu Yan's eyes did not escape Old Madam Gu's eyes, she quietly took the tea handed by the little maid and blew it gently.

"Grandmother, grandson now just want to concentrate on studying and gaining fame, and don't want to be distracted by other things." Gu Yan suppressed his incomparably chaotic thoughts, his eyebrows were calm, and his tone was even more unwavering.

Old Madam Gu's heart was full of pride. This is the grandson she raised carefully, obviously experiencing the pain of being cone to the bone, but the calm expression on his face at this moment makes people not see a hint, this kind of mind and city government are a hundred times better than her son.

The revival of the Gu family...... Hopefully!

Old Madam Gu looked at Gu Yan's eyes that could drip water gently, and she said softly: "Today, Mrs. Cui Taishou suddenly came to the door and invited me and your mother to participate in Miss Cui's ceremony. Da Lang, Mrs. Cui, this is a drunkard, not in wine. But the foundation of our Gu family is here, Master Cui is the Taishou and governs Jiangnan, and it is not easy for grandmother to refuse. ”

Hearing this, Gu Yan's eyebrows, which were as light as ink, flashed a hint of ridicule. He had to admit that his grandmother had always been a master of scheming, whether it was his cousin's granddaughter or his own grandson.

Fear...... My cousin is still very grateful to my grandmother.

Gu Yan's heart was desolate, and in addition to being cold, he even felt ridiculous. If there are only interests left between relatives, what is the difference between them and outsiders.

Gu Yan lowered his head and leaned over to plead guilty: "It's the grandson who embarrassed the grandmother." ”

"Hey, Dalang, what are you talking about?" Old Madam Gu got up and personally helped her grandson up, she sighed: "Although I am old and decrepit, since you are unwilling, I will try my best to offend Taishou and refuse this marriage." ”

Gu Yan lowered his eyes, and at an angle that Old Madam Gu couldn't see, his thin lips were slightly curved, outlining a hint of mockery. If it were usual, he would probably say: It is the grandson's unfilial piety that will make the grandmother embarrassed. It's the grandson who is ignorant, this kind of marriage...... Grandmother might as well respond.

But now, Gu Yan suddenly wondered how his grandmother would react if he didn't go on as his grandmother expected?

"It's all grandchildren's incompetence." Gu Yan said slowly.

Old Madam Gu's eyes were full of love and pity. She moved her lips, and before she could say anything about the manuscript she had prepared, she listened to her grandson continue: "Grandson, thank you grandmother for making it happen." ”

Fulfill? What is accomplished! Old Madam Gu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the different colors in her eyes flashed. She reacted quickly and shook her head, her kind voice full of pity and connivance: "Da Lang, you have been very sensible since you were a child. Now it's just willfulness, you can rest assured that Grandmother will not go against your will. ”

"Sensible since childhood...... But this time, Gu Yan almost cheered for his grandmother. With the word "filial piety" pressed, the righteousness pressed, and the nurturing grace pressed, what can you do? It's only this time.

Old Madam Gu was condescending, taking in Gu Yan's ever-changing expression. Although this grandson is not as pedantic as her husband and son, she is the most gentlemanly and square, and it is precisely because of this that she will be eaten to death by herself.

However, Old Madam Gu had no guilt in her heart. When this grandson Qianfan is over, he will know that everything he has done is for him and the Gu family. At that time, it was time for him to thank himself in return.

"Da Lang, you're right, wait for the title of your gold list, what kind of beautiful flowers can't be found." Old Madam Gu added another fire to it. She had to know how deep Da Lang's feelings for Yan and this cousin were.

Faced with another temptation from Old Madam Gu, Gu Yan was more tired and powerless than annoyed.

Although he was impulsive, he wanted to leave the study regardless of it, but reason told Gu Yan that he couldn't.

Gu Yan raised his eyes, a pair of eyes as clear as water looked directly at Mrs. Gu, and he said mechanically: "Marrying a wife should be a virtuous one, and grandchildren are not people who covet beauty." ”

When Old Madam Gu heard this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She knew that this well-nurtured grandson would never let her down.

"Your mother saw that you were buried in books all day long, afraid that you would come up stubbornly and never marry. I'll tell your mother tomorrow that she's worried. Old Madam Gu smiled lightly, one arm on her waist, and the other arm on the arm of the chair leisurely, revealing an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

Gu Yan smiled next, but this smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

What was your grandmother afraid of? Are you afraid that you will never marry? Obviously, she taught herself so well, and the responsibility of the family seemed to have been soaked in her blood and bones, how could she willfully let the Gu family break the inheritance.

Gu Yan had never hated his sanity and sobriety so much as he did at this moment!

"It's not too early, and grandmother won't bother you to work hard." Old Madam Gu's goal was achieved, and the fierceness and shrewdness hidden between her eyebrows disappeared without a trace in an instant, and she returned to her former kindness and peace, like a bodhisattva offered in the temple.

She said softly: "It's just that your body is equally important, don't burn yourself out." ”

Gu Yan sent his grandmother to the courtyard and said to the end: "Grandson obeys grandmother's teachings. ”

watched Old Madam Gu's figure disappear at the Moon Cave Gate. Gu Yan stood in the courtyard, looking at the bright moon in the sky, his eyes were desolate. The scenes of the past are like images that go back and forth in my mind like a marquee, as if every breath is torture.

Gu Yan's voice was full of bitterness:

"A few times the flowers sat down and the, and the silver man red wall looked into the distance.

It seems that this star is not last night, for whom the wind is exposed and the midnight is upset.

Lingering thoughts and pulling out the cocoon, like a sad heart peeling banana.

In March and May of three or five years, the poor glass of wine never went away. ”

The moonlight was cold, and Gu Yan's voice was even colder than the moonlight.

The little guy who followed Gu Yan was coarse and full of ink, and the poems recited by Gu Yan were so affectionate, where would the little guy not understand. Thinking of the peerless Miss Cousin, the little girl sighed in her heart: It's all about making people.

Looking at Gu Yan's figure like a sculpture, the little guy stood with him for a while until his clothes were cold.

Gu Yan's wind and cold were just right, and the little guy was afraid that his old illness would recur, so he persuaded him stubbornly: "Childe, it's late at night, go back." ”

Gu Yan coughed low and walked in the direction of the study. When passing by the weeping begonia in the flower garden, Gu Yan stopped, looked at it quietly for a while, and he ordered, "Pull it out." "The clear sound is inaudible.

After Gu Yan returned to the study, he quickly closed the door of the study, he was afraid that if he delayed for a moment, he would change his mind.

……

In the Luoxia Courtyard, Mrs. Gu changed into her bedclothes, and just after lying down for a while, she turned over and sat up again.

"Old lady, would you like to make you a bowl of soothing tea?" Mama Xia heard the movement in the inner room, walked to the bedside of Old Madam Gu, and casually hung up the curtains on the bed with jade Ruyi rings.

Mama Xia has accompanied Mrs. Gu for more than 40 years and is a first-class caring person by Mrs. Gu's side.

Hearing this, Old Madam Gu waved her hand and patted the position beside her: "Xia He, sit down, let's talk." ”

The entire Gu family, even Master Gu had to call Xia He "Mama Xia" when he saw him, and only Mrs. Gu had always called Xia He's name.

"Old lady, are you worried about the eldest prince?" Xia He was the one who knew Old Madam Gu the best, and he didn't need Old Madam Gu to say it, so he guessed the reason why Old Madam Gu couldn't sleep.

Old Madam Gu sighed: "Yan and that girl are even more outstanding than her mother. It's no wonder that Da Lang will never forget. ”

Old Madam Gu sighed with emotion, and without waiting for Mama Xia to reply, she said to herself: "Since Yan He arrived at the Gu family, the rewards in the palace have been continuous, and I have always felt strange. The eldest princess of Ping An refused to marry, but it only verified my guess from the other side. At first, I thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince regretted it and wanted to enjoy the blessings of all people, but I didn't expect it...... It's Your Majesty! ”

Old Madam Gu's eyes were a little thoughtful, she shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Actually, I should have guessed a long time ago. Sure enough, people are old and useless. If this is behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why would the tribute from Fu (Zhou) be sent directly to the Gu family without going through the palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not so bold. ”

When Mama Xia heard this, she said softly: "It's not that you're old, it's that you don't dare to think of this layer." ”

If it weren't for the holy decree of the canonization of the queen announced to the world, who would have guessed the secret!

can only hate the eldest princess of Ping'an, she knows everything, but she hides from the Gu family and uses the Gu family, which is really hateful!

The original Xie Guogong Xie Jin was ambushed, probably her retribution!
