Gu Qingyan, whom she saw three years ago, was really cold to the bone.

Old Man Gu said again, "He said to me at that time that what he didn't have in his heart didn't mean that he couldn't do it. I asked again, but he didn't say anything, after the battle of Yuxueling, none of the five hundred secret guards came back, and the news that your father and brother died on the battlefield came, and he locked himself in his room for three days. ”

An Huajin pursed his lips, and a picture scroll seemed to be spread out in front of him, which was made by the young Gu Qingyan for the An family.

At that time, the An family had no friendship with the Gu family, and Gu Qingyan was only eleven or twelve years old.

"Later, I also regretted a little, how could I not even be as good as my grandson, for the sake of the Gu family's way of life, but I didn't stop this from happening, this is the righteousness of the world, but I ignored it in vain. I knew the news earlier than him, if it was cut off when His Majesty and Zhang Zaifu were conspiring, there would be no such thing at all, he was young, it was too late to know the news at that time, and the only thing he could do was to send someone to Yuxueling to save people. Old Man Gu let out a long sigh, "But it's too late to say anything." ”

An Huajin was silent.

Old man Gu continued, "I thought that this matter was over like this, but then I didn't expect that the old prince came to Beijing to hand over the military power, and His Majesty wanted to make every effort to promote the marriage of An Gu, I didn't agree, but the old prince saw Huai'an's "Mountains and Rivers Map" in His Majesty's study, he agreed first, and I could only agree." ”

An Huajin has also seen the "Mountains and Rivers", and it is still hanging in His Majesty's south study.

"When I came back from the palace, I told him about it, and although he was angry and ignored me for a month, he had no idea of breaking the marriage." Old man Gu said, "Little girl, you know, if he doesn't want to do something, no one can press his head to make him agree, he can have a way to dissolve this marriage contract, so back then, he didn't resist, he just agreed to this marriage contract." ”

An Huajin nodded, "Thank you Grandpa Gu for telling me this." ”

Her words of thanks are sincere. Otherwise, Gu Qingyan would never have said these things to her for the rest of her life.

Old man Gu said, "Little girl, the two of you can play the piano and sing harmoniously, which is what grandpa is happy to see, it is said that before your grandfather died, he still thought of Huai'an as his grandson-in-law?" ”

"Hmm." An Huajin nodded, "Grandpa talks every day, in fact, he doesn't need to worry about it, I can't bear Huai'an at all." ”

Old Man Gu smiled, "I can't bear it." ”

He looked at An Huajin, "Perhaps, when the old prince went to Yuxueling to clean up the battlefield, he should have seen the secret guards sent by the Gu family." It's just that he never mentioned it, after all, those secret guards and bones were buried in Yuxueling together with the soldiers of the Nanyang Army. ”

An Huajin felt that what Old Man Gu said was right, when she was young, she saw the bones everywhere in Yuxueling, she only cared about grief, so she naturally couldn't pay attention to more, later, grandpa ordered someone to clean up the battlefield, she hurriedly went to Xu's house to stop Xu Qingling's martyrdom, and later never thought about exploring Yuxueling In addition to the death of countless soldiers of the Nanyang Army, what other people died.

But his grandfather is the commander of the Nanyang Army, and when he cleans the battlefield, the soldiers will report it, so he naturally knows it clearly.

It turns out -

Grandpa also hid it from her.

She suddenly laughed angrily, "My grandfather and Huai'an are like grandchildren, right?" The two of them, one can hide more than the other. Grandpa Gu, what do you say? Otherwise, I will be your own granddaughter? You kicked him to my house to be my grandfather's own grandson? ”

Old Man Gu laughed, "I think it's okay." ”

An Huajin also smiled.

The trace of deliberate ignorance in her heart, which was pressed into the depths, and let herself not want to be a problem for the sake of Gu Qingyan, suddenly drifted away quietly at this moment.

Old Man Gu smiled and sighed, "I also figured it out, the Gu family shouldn't be a shackle that trapped him, he is willing to go to Nanyang, I'll let him go!" Is there a family in this world that has been around for thousands of years? No. Why should the Gu family force it? ”

An Huajin said with a smile, "My grandfather said that Huai'an is suitable for living in the temple, and his talent, if he is not a minister in the world, and does not benefit the people of the world, it is a pity that he is mistaken by me." ”

Old Man Gu also smiled and said, "I always thought like this before, and I always felt that no one in the Gu family had his talent and ability, and without him, the Gu family would be finished." But now that I think about it, it's not fair to him. He does what he doesn't like to do, he won't be much happy after all, life is a lifetime, just a hundred years, like a white horse passing through the gap, how about it through the ages? What about being famous in the world and being praised by future generations? It's better to live the life you want. ”

"Grandpa Gu, is this enlightened?" An Huajin was very surprised, she didn't expect that she would be able to hear these words from Old Man Gu's mouth one day, she knew how much he cared about the Gu family, he cared about Gu Qingyan, his eyes were like beads, for fear that he would leave the Gu family behind.

"yes, I got it." Old Man Gu said, "It's only at a great age that I understand this truth." ”

An Huajin thought for a while and said, "Since Grandpa Gu is no longer tethered to him, let him make his own decisions!" In any case, as long as he wants to, I have no opinion and will support him. ”

Old Man Gu nodded, "Good boy." ”

The two of them didn't finish a game of chess, but they had already talked about what they should talk about and said what they should say, and it was half an hour in a blink of an eye.

Outside, the old housekeeper said, "Old man, the seventh prince is here." ”

Old Man Gu pushed the chessboard and waved his hand, "Go ahead, go ahead, if I don't let you go again, his temper should come in and drag you." ”

An Huajin got up with a smile and said goodbye to Old Man Gu's study in a kind manner.

Outside, the sky was covered with snowflakes again, a little bigger than the bits and pieces of yesterday and today, and the ground was not just wet, but a layer of snow white.

Gu Qingyan held an eighteen umbrella and walked from the snow, dancing in the turbid world with an outstanding demeanor.

An Huajin stood under the eaves of the porch at the door and looked at him, he was walking slowly, but when he saw her out of the study door, his steps became faster, and he came to her almost in a blink of an eye, frowning slightly, "Why didn't you wear a cloak?" The words fell, and he instructed the old butler, "Go inside and take out the cloak of the little county lord." ”

An Huajin then remembered that she forgot to tie her cloak when she went out.

The old housekeeper hurriedly entered the study, took out An Huajin's cloak, Gu Qingyan reached out to take it, tied it carefully for her, and then took her hand and pulled him to his yard, "Did you win the chess game?" ”

An Huajin blinked, "Win." ”

The corners of Gu Qingyan's mouth curled, and his smile spread, "It's good to win." ”

Compared with Nanyang, the winter in the capital is nothing at all, the snow looks heavy, but it is not so cold and frozen.

An Huajin was held by Gu Qingyan's hand, and walked slowly in the Gu family's old mansion, what lingered in her mind was the words of Old Man Gu, she thought, such a Gu family, raising such a Gu Qingyan, there was a moment when she really wanted to step on the Gu family. Now I think, how can it be done? It was she who was wrong.

The Gu family obviously also has a heavy etiquette and cuteness under strict rules. Whether it is Gu Qingyan or Gu Qingqi, there is a difference between being born in the Gu family and the Gu family.

"What did Grandpa tell you?" After Gu Qingyan took An Huajin for a while, he couldn't help but ask.

An Huajin didn't hide it, "Grandpa told me that after you learned about the conspiracy between Your Majesty and Zhang Zaifu, you sent all the secret guards around you to Yuxueling, and five hundred people were all folded in Yuxueling. ”

Gu Qingyan's footsteps slammed suddenly.

An Huajin looked at him, "Why are you hiding it from me?" ”

Gu Qingyan pursed the corners of her mouth and lowered her eyelashes, "There's nothing to say, after all, I didn't save anyone." ”

An Huajin stretched out his hand to straighten his face, let him look at her, and said seriously, "You should tell me, although you didn't save anyone, but you did something, your five hundred secret guards were really folded in Yuxueling, this is what you did when you had no relatives and no reason with the An family, and it can't be erased." ”

Gu Qingyan said sullenly, "It's me who underestimated Nanqi and Nanliang, they sent all the secret guards of the royal family to dispatch out, not only did I not save anyone, but all the secret guards around me collapsed in Yuxueling because of my underestimation, this kind of failure, I don't want to take credit for this, and I don't want to mention it." ”

An Huajin sighed, "You were only young at that time, why should you be so harsh on yourself?" ”

Gu Qingyan looked at her, and the little girl stood in front of her, her emotions seemed to be filled with this matter. He whispered, "If you don't like me, it's useless for me to tell me about it, with your temperament, right?" ”

An Huajin tilted his head and thought about it, and smiled dumbly, "Maybe, but there is no if, no if, I just like you." I can't put it down if I like it, I can't put it down anyway. ”

Gu Qingyan reached out and touched her cheek, the temperature of his fingertips warmed her cold cheeks, and he smiled lowly, "Tell you something quietly." ”

"Huh?" An Huajin looked at him.

Gu Qingyan rubbed her cheeks vigorously, "If you don't come to Beijing again, I can't help but go to Nanyang." ”

An Huajin laughed, "Really? ”

"Really, at most another seven or eight days, I won't be able to bear it anymore."
