On the shore of Qingshui Lake, after the heavy rain, the things seen are exceptionally delicate and moving, and even the handmaiden with a good appearance seems to have added an aura, which is very moving.

In Guo Zhaoyang's image, his father Guo Zhifeng is by no means as quiet and decadent as he is now, most of the time, he is very intense, although he is indifferent to the county king's mansion, but at least in the eyes of outsiders he is alive, busy with people who are messy and messy, busy wandering in the flower streets and willow alleys, busy with trivial things that ordinary people can't understand at all, by no means like now, calm and waveless, like a dying old man, lifeless.

"She's dead... Returning here again, Guo Zhaoyang's heart is like water.

Guo Zhifeng didn't have much reaction, hearing this, it was like hearing that there were some more strange fruits in the port, "I have already written the folds on the above table, remember to send them to the imperial palace as soon as possible." ”

"She's the woman you've protected all your life, and now she's dead, why don't you react at all?"

"She has a strong temperament, and she can't hold sand in her eyes, so she needs me to protect her. Go ahead, bury her, and repay her for raising you, and you don't owe each other. ”

Guo Zhaoyang sneered, "You can not care about her, you don't care about anyone, what about Ah Hui?" He really didn't want to hear anything extraneous from Bai Ku's mouth, but now he had to think about how Guo Zhaohui was sick! He's your son! Don't you ask him where he went? ”

Guo Zhifeng leaned sideways slightly, as if smiling, "When did I say that it was my son?" ”

A bolt from the blue! Guo Zhaoyang only felt that his eyes were dark, and the memories of his father and younger brother became blank in an instant.

He still remembered that winter, looking out of the carriage, his father caressed Wen Qing's belly with a doting face, as if they were a family, Guo Zhifeng said to him that his mother had given everything for this palace, and his younger brother was what she deserved.

But what do my father's words mean now? All the blows he has suffered these days combined, not as big as the impact of this sentence! His brother ... Guo Zhaohui... It's not a child of the county king's mansion!

"Sit down." Guo Zhifeng patted the low stool in front of him and closed his eyes.

Time passed, the father and son, who were completely strangers, didn't know what to talk about, Guo Zhifeng wanted to tell him about the past and present life of the Junwang Mansion, but it was difficult to speak, Guo Zhaoyang wanted to ask Chu Cailing and Wen Qing what was going on, but he felt powerless.

Between the two of them, there are tens of thousands of horizontal ditches that cannot be crossed, and there are thorns.

I don't know how long it took, the water on the small stove boiled over and over again, the sun rose to the sky, there was a crisp bird cry in the distance, the clear water lake after the rain, sparkling, and you can see a few koi jumping out of the water, splashing.

A girl walked slowly from a distance, whispered a few words in Guo Zhifeng's ear, and saw Guo Zhifeng smiling, for so many years, it was the first time for Guo Zhaoyang to see him smile so carelessly.

Guo Zhifeng got up, shook his robe vigorously, took a deep breath and said: "In the past, we didn't have the opportunity to accompany you and let you do whatever you wanted for so many years, but now that you have grown up, it's time to take care of yourself, for you, the road ahead may not be smooth, but as long as you keep to yourself, you won't let the county king's mansion come to an end." Ayang, I remember that at this time of year, go to the ginkgo forest in the back mountain, and when you have children, ask them to come and see your grandfather and grandmother. ”

"Father..." Guo Zhaoyang got up slowly, for some reason, in Guo Zhifeng's eyes, he suddenly sensed a kind of determination, it was not the reluctance to say goodbye when he traveled far away, but the generosity and heroism that he was about to leave. "Where are you going?"

"Are you scared?" Guo Zhifeng asked him.

The word fear did not appear much in Guo Zhaoyang's unusual days of more than ten years of illness, and more often, he was desperate and angry, but he was never afraid of it. "Afraid of what?"

That's right, I'm not even afraid of death, what's there to be afraid of? Guo Zhifeng smiled, his voice was unprecedentedly crisp, "Anyway, I'm not afraid, I'm very relieved to see that you can be safe and sound in this huge whirlpool." I'll tell you a secret.,From now on.,You don't have to feel ashamed of anyone anymore.,Ayang... Rose didn't jump into the well because of you. ”

"What did you say?" Guo Zhaoyang only felt that his heart was beating fast, if that girl didn't die because of herself, then why was everyone accusing him at the beginning, even his father, who believed it and locked him in the house for a month, so that he missed the assessment and never had a chance to study again! Ruined his life!

"So far for this ... Ah Yang... Until you ... Those favors are over... ”

"Is it all ... Is it all because we were born in the county king's mansion? Just because our surname is fruit! This title is not rightly named! Has it become a thorn in the side of several generations of emperors? Father... Tell me it's not true ... And Ah Hui... He's just too weak ... Not... ”

"Live well, Ayang, this county palace, from now on, it will depend on you."

Guo Zhaoyang only felt that a lot of noisy voices suddenly appeared in his ears, and the figures in front of him were crowded, and those unfamiliar faces were gradually moving away with weird smiles.

........

Passing through the small gate in the corner of the county king's mansion, you can walk on a sheep intestine path, go to the ginkgo forest in the back mountain, after the heavy rain, the ginkgo biloba leaves on the ground are washed clean, the kind of orange yellow, like the hot summer sun, make people can't open their eyes.

Feng Mi walked out from behind the tree, looked at the lifeless Guo Zhifeng in front of him, and said bluntly: "What did the Lan family give you to accept the girl of the Chu family?" ”

"Your Highness." Guo Zhifeng didn't expect Feng Mi to appear here, he thought they should have left a long time ago, and saluted slightly, such a high-spirited young man couldn't help but think of how hot and free he was when he was young, but the world is impermanent, and he can't help himself, and now he is just a waste who can take a breath, "Whether it's the Lan family or the county king's mansion, it's just a dog of the emperor, four legs were broken, and he won't run away for a long time, and then pursue the old things more than ten years ago, it's very boring, Your Highness... Don't be too attached to everything. ”

Feng Mi was disappointed, it seemed that Wu Laichun couldn't find out what he wanted, and it was impossible to know it from Guo Zhifeng's mouth.

"It's really fate to meet Your Highness here, why don't I give Your Highness a gift. I remember that year when I went to the imperial palace to worship, Ah Yang chose a small object and wanted to give it to His Royal Highness, but I lied to him and said that I would pass it on to you, and secretly hid it in the wisteria forest... ”
