Chapter VI: Staff Officers (Second Watch)
Old Man Gu was shocked, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
The little girl of the An family suddenly returned to Nanyang? The first thing he thought about was what happened in Nanyang? What happened to the old Nanyang King? Or did Southern Qi and Southern Liang raise troops again? Border emergency? Otherwise, how could she have left without warning.
Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, and looked at his grandson again.
If it was because of something else, she couldn't say goodbye. As far as he knows, the two children have always gotten along very well and are very harmonious, except for more than ten days, his grandson is busy with his feet and has no time to go to the old house, so he will not see each other every day.
He sat down, looked at Gu Qingyan, and took a deep breath, "Tell grandpa, what's going on?" ”
Gu Qingyan pursed her lips and was silent.
Old Man Gu looked at him and said seriously, "For a long time, grandpa has never restrained you, nor has he made too many requirements, from childhood to adulthood, let go as much as possible to let you do what you want, as long as you support the Gu family, nothing else is ever asked of you, you know this best in your heart." ”
Gu Qingyan was silent.
Old Man Gu continued, "What you don't want to say to others, you can tell grandpa, grandpa is old after all, and he always eats more salt than you walk, you don't say anything, blindly hold back, you will only suffocate yourself, the smarter the person, the more terrible it is." The top priority is whether you believe in grandpa or not, and let grandpa help you with a counselor. ”
Gu Qingyan closed her eyes, and finally spoke, "Ten days ago, I found out that she didn't care about me, I was angry, and I lost my temper with her, it happened that Lao Shangshu was old, and I was promoted to the secretary of the ministry, one is busy, the other is to calm down, and then find an opportunity to talk to her, but after ten days, I haven't been able to calm down, it just so happens that today a colleague in the ministry has a birthday brief, invited to celebrate her birthday in Fumanlou, and she happened to be invited to Fumanlou for dinner by the little lord of Prince Shan's mansion......"
Gu Qingyan is not a person who is used to confiding in others, if it weren't for Qingmo's proposal to learn from Lao Shangshu ten days ago, and today's An Huajin suddenly left the capital and returned to Nanyang, so that he couldn't accept that she just threw him away without a sound, and Old Man Gu asked him with affection and reason, he wouldn't have said these things.
Old Man Gu didn't understand at first, and asked, "She doesn't care about you, you should coax her to be interested in you, why did you lose your temper with her?" How did you lose your temper? Also, today you sent her back to An's old house, and since she promised to let you send it, it is to forgive you, why did you anger her again? “
His grandson, who has always been gentle and courteous, has always been calm and cold to his sisters in the family, and has never lost his temper with anyone, and he still can't imagine that he lost his temper with a little girl in An Huajin.
"You talk to me in detail, don't talk so much." Old man Gu actually doesn't want to ask his grandson for details, the children are in love, he is an elder of the grandfather's generation, and it is not easy to inquire too carefully. But today's matter is really a bit big, and the little girl went back to Nanyang directly, which is not a trivial matter, and I have to pay attention to it.
Gu Qingyan bit her lip, her eyes were red, and she spoke in detail.
After listening to Old Man Gu: "......"
He finally understood, sighed deeply, sighed again, and looked at his grandson, who was torturing himself at the moment, and suddenly scolded angrily, "You are really smart but you are clever and mistaken, you should!" ”
Gu Qingyan lowered his head.
Old Man Gu stood up and paced two steps in the study, wanting to scold more heavily, but he was reluctant, from childhood to adulthood, other grandsons, he had more or less scolded, but this one, he had never scolded once, he never needed him to worry too much, but he didn't expect that now he would worry about it.
Since ancient times, what is the most difficult, only the love word is difficult.
He has always been worried that he has a weak temperament and cold temperament, and he is afraid that he will never know what it is like to like a person and what it is like to be liked by others for the rest of his life.
But now, he has changed, plunged into it, hit his head and bleed, but he still didn't understand the true meaning.
"Do you know what you did wrong now?" Old Man Gu stood in front of him and asked.
Gu Qingyan raised her head, her eyes were very confused.
Old Man Gu stretched out his hand and knocked him on the head, intending to wake him up, "You lost your temper with her, but only these two times?" How many times has she lost her temper with you? Have you counted it yourself? ”
Gu Qingyan whispered, "I have sent it to her a few times, she and I bit my hand once, and today." ”
"You see, you said it yourself, you have lost your temper with her a few times, and she doesn't lose her temper with you easily, only twice. But the first time, I bit your hand, making your hand bloody, and the second time, I didn't even want to bite you, and went back to Nanyang without saying a word. Old Man Gu looked at him, "It is said that the little girl has a bad temper, but she has been in Beijing for a month and a half, right?" For such a long time, when you lost your temper with her, she didn't send it back to you again and again, which shows that in front of you, she can be regarded as a good-tempered character. To whom would a woman endure her temper? Only those who like them, or those who are kind, even relatives and elders, can't endure their temper. ”
Gu Qingyan looked at Old Man Gu.
Old Man Gu Dun taught, "Are you kind to her?" Didn't you? Then she just likes you. ”
"However, I can't feel that she cares about me, I ......" Gu Qingyan wanted to say that he stayed in the An family's old house and shared a bed with her, but he couldn't feel what her daughter's house should look like, she was just using it to warm her body. But I was afraid that if I said this, I would ruin An Huajin's reputation, so I simply shut up.
What to say and what not to say, he hasn't lost his mind yet.
"In the face of love, a girl's mind is always much deeper than a man's mind. You can't feel it, and that doesn't prove that she doesn't. In my opinion, that little girl is very thoughtful. Otherwise, how dare she enter Beijing twice three years ago and now, and come alone? Old man Gu is very accurate in looking at people, "This little girl you like is not a thing in the pool, she doesn't drag mud and water, she is neat, just because she suddenly left the capital and returned to Nanyang without making a sound today, grandpa looks down on her." If you change someone else, who is willing to leave you behind? ”
In the whole world, there is only one An Huajin, who said to leave, he lost his temper, she waited for ten days, saw him again, and gave him a chance, but he didn't dare to spread it out, but she didn't give him a chance anymore and left.
It was because she walked too simply that he felt even more defeated.
"When did you procrastinate, hesitate, or hesitate? It's only like this when facing this little girl, and it's normal to be trapped by love. Old Man Gu stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, encouraging, "Yan'er, she has returned to Nanyang, and she has not gone to the edge of the sky, you still have a marriage contract, what are you afraid of?" Look at you, locked up like this, what you look like! ”
"I'm afraid that after she returns to Nanyang, she will let the old prince dissolve the marriage contract. If she said that she moved the old prince, and His Majesty had this intention, then, without a marriage contract, what else would I use to tie her? Gu Qingyan said softly.
It turned out that he was afraid of this.
Old Man Gu understood, "Why are you so unconfident?" That little girl may not have to break the marriage contract. She cares about you. ”
"She doesn't want to marry me, in fact, she doesn't want my heart, she just looks at my face."
Old Man Gu: "......"
He said bitterly, "Bastard! The more you think about it, the more you get to the point of the bull's horns, what about your cleverness? Used elsewhere, it's more than enough, how can you face this little girl, you are stupid? What are you saying to me? Even if you look at your face, it's your face that works better than someone else's. ”
Gu Qingyan was silent.
"Forget it, think about it yourself! If you can't think about it, just go to Your Majesty to resign, and then go to Nanyang to chase people. Old Man Gu dropped a sentence and turned around and walked out of the study.
Gu Qingyan's mind moved, resigned and went to Nanyang?
He stood up and followed Old Man Gu out two steps.
Old Man Gu stopped suddenly, and finally became angry, "I said so much, it turns out that you didn't listen to it, only listened to a resignation and chased to Nanyang?" Something that doesn't make a difference. You don't want to think about it, will Your Majesty allow you to resign? What do you dream about? You just sat in this position, and you are the chief examiner of the three-year assessment of the world's officials in the golden autumn. You can stay in the capital and deal with this matter! ”
Gu Qingyan stopped and sat back in his chair.
Old Man Gu closed the door of the study, and for the first time, he was angry with Gu Qingyan, and ordered Qingmo, "He doesn't leave the study, he is not allowed to bring him food, he is hungry." ”
Qingmo: "......"
It was the first time he saw the old man's beard curled up because of his son.
This is all from the little lord of Bai'an.
After Old Man Gu left, the study quieted down, Gu Qingyan sat quietly for a while, then stood up again, pushed open the door of the study, seemed to have made up his mind, and instructed Qingmo, "Prepare the horse." ”
Qingmo was suddenly shocked.
