Gu Fanghua leaned over and said in a low voice: "The first time I saw Master Juekong, I felt that there was a fate, and I still wanted to try it." ”

"Then call Juekong down the mountain and bring it to Mei's house, can't I recognize my son-in-law as an old woman? Do you have to let the Gu family recognize it? ”

Empress Dowager Zhong felt that this was too much, and she really felt sorry for Gu Fanghua, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Gu Fanghua leaned over, shook the arm of the Empress Dowager Zhong, and said coquettishly: "I know, my father is something you have seen since you were a child, but you haven't seen it for so many years, what if you lose your eyes?" Besides, my father is a member of the Gu family, so I can't say what birthmarks and the like the Gu family have, do you know? ”

Empress Dowager Zhong couldn't cry or laugh, so she could only go, all as if she was dreaming and wanting to have parents.

By the time the spring flowers bloomed, Gu Fanghua and Jiaojiao had already eaten puffer fish, and Gu Shinian was late, and it was already March 3 at that time.

"Second brother! What about the second sister-in-law? ”

Gu Fanghua ran out when she heard the news, only to see Gu Shinian alone, standing in front of Empress Dowager Zhong, and asked a little strangely.

Gu Shinian couldn't hide the smile on his face, and arched his hand: "Queen Mother, Mingzhu, Mrs. is pregnant, so settle down in Huangcheng first." After waiting for the tire to stabilize in March, he left for Jiangning to meet the Queen Mother. ”

"There will be little dolls so soon? Is the second sister-in-law okay? I shouldn't have let you come. ”

Gu Fanghua was shocked and remorseful, if there was anything wrong with the little nephew, it would be a sin, it should not be. After all, the second brother is not like Jiaojiao, and they have not prepared in advance.

Gu Shinian smiled, looked at Gu Fanghua, who had grown a little longer, and took out a box and handed it over.

"Mingzhu, you and Luli couldn't give you a gift in person, here I and your second sister-in-law will make up for you. See if you like it or not? ”

Gu Fanghua opened the box and saw that it was an eight-treasure hairpin with foreign style.

The dense wax, tourmaline, amber, agate, etc. are ground into discs of different sizes, and then inlaid on the gold hairpin, which looks very atmospheric and luxurious. Mainly, the shape is very unique.

"Thank you, second brother, second sister-in-law."

When Empress Dowager Zhong asked Gu Shinian a few more words, and asked him to go back to freshen up and rest first, Gu Fanghua couldn't wait to turn him to the side room.

"Mingzhu, what's the matter with you, wait for me to freshen up? Good no good? ”

Gu Fanghua's old face turned red, nodded and ordered: "Second brother, come to me as soon as you get it done, I have something very important to tell you." ”

"Mingzhu, what did you do wrong again? Jiaojiao and Changxin can't be even? ”

It's not that Gu Shinian is suspicious, it's really rare to see the shyness on Gu Fanghua's face. That kind of apprehension is a portrayal of finding someone to take the blame after getting into trouble.

Gu Fanghua was really annoyed and angry now, turned around and left: "The dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!" ”

"And what are you?"

"Of course I'm a puppy! Hurry up and freshen up, I have something very important to ask you. ”

Seeing that Gu Fanghua really looked like she was in a hurry, Gu Shinian didn't dare to delay. After finishing the washing quickly, he only used a handkerchief to winch his hair until the water did not drop, and he came out to see Gu Fanghua.

Gu Fanghua was still in the courtyard and didn't leave, and the creeper on the west wall was lively, so she stood under the gable and watched.

"Mingzhu, what are you looking at?"

"Oh, I'm watching this creeper grow so beautifully, but it only has one season and then it dies."

Gu Shinian walked over and stood next to her, also admiring the green creeper. smiled: "It's a flash in the pan, it's just a moment, it's good to bloom." ”

"Really? I've heard many people say that my parents were very loving and affectionate. That's why my mother grieved too much after my father left, and she died after giving birth to me. They love each other too much, thinking about life and death, but they forget me. ”

Gu Shinian heard that there was a faint resentment in Gu Fanghua's words.

Hurriedly comforted: "The sudden loss of a lover is indeed too hurtful, not to mention that when I was pregnant with you, everyone advised her not to be sad." That sorrow has been suppressed for a long time, it is inevitable that it is a relief, Mingzhu, the Queen Mother and grandfather, and we love you very much. ”

Gu Fanghua pulled a leaf casually, and then discarded it in the wind.

"I know, but I still blame my mother. Although I understand her hardship, I still want her to be stronger. ”

Gu Shinian sighed and recalled: "Back then, the uncle and the princess were famous fairy couples in the capital, maybe they were in love for a long time. ”

"Really? I heard that my father was both civil and military, how is it compared to Xiao Yao? ”

Gu Fanghua looked at Gu Shinian, who had a picturesque face and a handsome face, imagined his father's demeanor back then, and suddenly wanted to know everything about him.

Gu Shinian was stunned, recalled the appearance of the uncle, and secretly compared it in his heart.

"I heard my father say that compared with Xiao Yao, the uncle was not equal. may be in terms of kung fu, Xiao Yao is better, and in terms of literary talent, the uncle should press him. After all, Xiao Yao has a wealth of miscellaneous knowledge, but in terms of scripture and righteousness, he doesn't know the level. ”

Gu Fanghua thought about it again, and Juekong, whose entire face was basically ruined, flinched a little in his heart.

"Mingzhu, what's going on? You haven't told me yet? ”

Gu Shinian sensed that something was wrong and began to ask, but Gu Fanghua didn't know where to start, and hesitated a little for a while.

"Mingzhu, if you don't tell me, I have to bother the Queen Mother again."

Gu Fanghua didn't want to wait any longer, she stretched out her head and shrank her head. I have had a sweet dream for a few months, and even if I wake up, I have no regrets.

"Second brother, when my father had an accident, my grandfather came to Jiangnan to look for someone, but he never found his father's body?"

Gu Shinian was a little surprised, he never thought that Mingzhu would ask about such a past. It seems that it is related to her father, and she is so anxious.

"Yes, my grandfather personally came to Jiangnan and searched for a hundred miles of Bottle Mountain. It was a carpet search, and more than 20 corpses were dug up, but the uncle was never found. ”

Gu Fanghua bit her lip and said in a low voice: "Could it be that my father was rescued and is still alive?" ”

Gu Shinian was stunned, it turned out that Mingzhu was still dreaming. A little stammered: "Mingzhu, have you met a liar?" Impossible, right? ”

"How could it not be? I believe that my grandfather went with the idea that he wanted to see people in life and corpses in death. But the capital's is a well-dressed mound, right? ”

Gu Fanghua seemed to be cheering herself up, trying to find any reason to convince herself that her father was still there.

Gu Shinian understood Mingzhu's thoughts, and comforted with a wry smile: "When Uncle encountered heavy rain, the Bottle Mountain landslide destroyed the road. Then a flash flood burst the embankment, so the group did not survive. ”

"But fifteen years ago, there was a man near Bottle Mountain, less than two hundred miles, who saved an injured man."

Gu Fanghua said as she looked at Gu Shinian.

I thought he would be somewhat surprised, but I didn't expect his smile to be even more bitter.
