In this midsummer autumn, the sky is exceptionally blue, the sun has just sprinkled the entire mansion, and the locust trees in the garden seem to reveal the never-ending breath of life, as if everything here is working hard in the direction of slowly getting better.

However, the old swing that once accompanied Gu Chen to grow up is now entangled by those weeds, and only the wisteria is the most conspicuous.

For a while, the whole swing was entangled into a huge butterfly-shaped flower stand, at this time it was past the flowering period of the vine, there was no crowd of people enjoying the flowers, there was no bee butterfly array, there was only the shining light of the tree, like a waterfall drooping blooming vine, the sun shines through the green leaves, and the leaves with a little silver light are sprinkled all over the place, which seems to bring people back to the place full of memories.

Gu Chen didn't let his subordinates clean up, because in his eyes, those were not only fallen leaves all over the ground, but also memories of his childhood.

Master Gu and the old lady are just such a son, and the second room that Master Gu married is a daughter, so Gu Chen has been favored at home since he was a child, and he has the best food and clothing, but Gu Chen, the child, does not put on the shelf of a young master at all, and treats his subordinates gently.

When he was 5 or 6 years old, he met the daughter of the current prince, Wan'er, but his memory began to have it when he was about 11 years old, and he only remembered that Wan'er went to the house every day to play with him, and sometimes he didn't want to go back at night.

They do their homework together, Wan'er accompanies him to practice archery and horseback riding, the two of them are often tired of being together, but in Gu Chen's heart, he only regards Wan'er as his best friend, because what he likes is the kind of girl who comes out of an ancient painting, he has read Dream of Red Mansions since he was a child, and he is deeply rooted in the image of Lin Daiyu in the book.

It can be said that there is no one else in Gu Chen's childhood playmates except Wan'er.

It's just that the relationship became delicate when I grew up.

At this moment, Gu Chen stood and stared, only to feel that this vine slowly flowed on the tip of his heart, Gu Chen was immersed in this flourishing brilliance, he seemed to feel that all this in the past no longer existed, more just inner peace and the joy of rebirth.

In fact, the real peace is not to stay away from the hustle and bustle of cars and horses, but to cultivate fences and plant chrysanthemums in one's heart.

This picture can't help but remind me of Mr. Tao Yuanming's "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan" The life of not arrogant and impatient, at that time, a person's floating world is happy, and a person's fine water is long...

"Young lady, young lady, the old lady ordered me to bring the wedding robe, you can take a look, if there is anything inappropriate, I will take it to you to modify." Xiaohuan said happily.

"Add a locust tree on the back of the robe, how to say that the locust tree in the backyard has been with me for nearly 12 years, but it has never bloomed, yesterday I saw a book about locust flowers, I also want to see what kind of flowers this locust tree blooms." Wan'er's eyes were full of yearning and said.

"Okay, young lady, I'll do it right away."

"Tell me to go down, ride a horse to welcome the new year, marry a sedan chair, suona gongs and drums, and fire cannons."

In fact, the old lady knew in her heart that the current matter must not be made public, if the prince knew that they had deceived him at the beginning, in fact, her daughter had not died back then, and had suffered for so many years, then the Gu Mansion would definitely suffer, and Wan'er would certainly know the powerful relationship between them.

Therefore, this "second" marriage can only be simplified, but this still can't erase the festive atmosphere inside and outside the Gu Mansion, and the windows and doors are also covered with the word "Xi", symbolizing the happiness of husband and wife.

According to the old custom, on the day of marriage, the woman's family will go to the man's house in advance and lay the house, bedding, dowry, etc., which is called a "warm house", but the current conditions do not allow this at all, and it is enough luxury for Wan'er to have a simple marriage room.

"Book of Changes" cloud: "ten years to repair the same boat, a hundred years to sleep together", it can be seen how important the wedding room is on the day of the newlyweds, the big red futon is sprinkled with some red dates, peanuts, lotus seeds, implying that the newlyweds respect and love each other, grow old together, give birth to a noble son and so on.

Everything is working in a good direction.

No one knows what will happen next, after all, there is still so much to come.

At this moment, Xiaohuan rushed to the hall and shouted loudly.

"Old lady, old lady, no, no, old madam!"

"What? Be bold to you, Xiaohuan, tonight is the young master's big day, you actually said such bastard words, if it weren't for your dedication to serving me all these years, I would never spare you today, and I would definitely drive you out of the house! The old lady said angrily.

Yes, Gu Chen is the old lady's only child, that is her lifeline, she has lived for such a long time, and it is the first time she has seen her child so sad for a woman, this time, of course, she will not stand idly by.

"Old lady, please calm your anger, I didn't mean to offend you, offended the young master, it's just, just, yes..."

"Tell me, what's it? You're going to spoil us," the old lady realized the importance of the problem, whether something was really wrong, and a bad premonition faintly arose.

"Please forgive the old lady, it's the young lady, it's the young lady and she's gone!"

"What, gone? What does it mean to be gone? Such a big living person, how can you say that if you don't see it, you will disappear, have you been looking for it? ”

"If you go back to the old lady, we have searched for the places that should be found before and after, but there is no trace of the young lady! That's when I came to tell you. ”

"Could it be, has someone been out of the house? Didn't I make you watch her all the time, what the hell is going on now? Where did the young lady go! Early in the morning, the old lady ordered, no one in the house can enter and leave the house at will without the nod of the old lady, and now there is such a thing.

"Old lady, that's the case, I went to dress up the young lady early in the morning, but found that the young lady was not in the room, I thought the young lady went out, so I searched the yard and looked around, but I couldn't find any trace of the young lady, I asked the guards at the door, they didn't see anyone go out."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, what are you doing in a daze, send someone to find it!" To tell the truth, the old lady is really like an ant on a hot pot now.

She clearly knows that once Wan'er escapes, the consequences will be so serious, none of them will be able to run away at that time, hundreds of people up and down the Gu Mansion are tied to her, as long as Wan'er still walks out alive, that is her biggest threat! The minions in the house searched for a whole night, but there was no trace of Wan'er.

This can make everyone in the Gu Mansion anxious.

So, after discussion, the old lady decided to go to the Taishi's Mansion to meet the prince the next day, and by the way, it was good to inquire about the truth and the truth, so as to know whether the young lady had returned to the prince's mansion.

Early the next morning, Gu Chen went to visit the prince with a generous gift, but he found nothing on this trip, and after learning that the young lady had not returned to the house, the old lady was relieved.

"Old lady, old lady, we have found the young lady! I've found the young lady! "There was a flustery...

It turned out that Ai Ziye ran in in a panic, and she rushed to report to the old lady as soon as she found the young lady, which shows how loyal she is to the old lady.

After hearing the news, everyone was stunned, and suddenly there was silence in the happy hall. The old lady only came to her senses to break the silence:

"What, you found the young lady? Where is she? How is she? Take us there. It was only then that the string that the old lady was tightening loosened.

"Back to the old lady, the young lady is in our house, in the back garden."

"What, back garden? What did she run to do there? Don't you have enough days to stay? ”

"Old lady, I can't explain it clearly, you better go and see for yourself!"

"Okay, then don't worry about it for now, you go and inform the young master first, and let him and us gather in the back garden."

After a while, everyone came to the back garden, and the old lady ordered people to wait downstairs, and only brought these trustworthy girls up with the young master.

Sure enough, the young lady was lying on the bed where Gu Chen had picked her up.

There was a wedding robe next to the bed, and everyone knew that the young lady was afraid that she would be more than lucky. Gu Chen ran to the side of the bed like crazy and shouted:

"Wan'er, Wan'er, Wan'er... Why are you, why did you come here to sleep, come, get up, husband put on a wedding robe for you, aren't we going to get married today? Let's be the most beautiful bride. ”

The air pressure in the house was extremely low, and I couldn't help crying in the middle of the night, so I had to hide out alone.

"Wan'er, Wan'er... How are you up? Get up! We haven't gotten married yet, we haven't gotten back to the church, we haven't put on the wedding robe to revisit the flowers and candles in the cave, I haven't accompanied you until the locust tree will bloom what kind of beautiful flowers, don't you want to see the locust flowers bloom the most? I haven't accompanied Wan'er to the swing I sat on together when I was a child, Wan'er, Wan'er, are you okay to get up? How are you up? Are you really going to sleep like this, leaving me alone? ”

"Didn't you say, I'm not coming, you won't leave!"

That's right, Wan'er went, and went to a place where there was no Gu Chen and no pain. In this place where she spent 12 years, where she had given her heroic dreams, she thought that if she guarded his childhood, she could guard him, and she could wait for him, but she didn't know this guard, so she only kept it for 12 years, and what she was rewarded with was a happy robe at the end of her life!

Yes, she loved him, although she was a woman, but she was unruly, she didn't want the mercy of almsgiving, she didn't want to! So she ends herself in this way, starting here and losing here, not cowardly, not cowardly, but for that last bit of self-esteem in her heart.
