Gao Yanzong rushed straight to Baiyunxuan, and as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he shouted: "Fourth brother, fourth brother." ”

Gao Su is not in the main room. He had just finished bathing and was tying the belt of his middle coat, when he heard Gao Yanzong shout, he immediately hurriedly put on his coat, opened the door of the side room and came out, and said with a smile: "Fifth brother, you are here too?" ”

"yes." Gao Yanzong said with a smile. "I just went to see your baby."

"What baby?" Gao Su didn't understand, and asked casually as he walked towards the main room.

"Xiao Gu." Gao Yanzong looked at him with an ambiguous expression. "I heard that you went to the Red Sleeves Workshop to redeem a musician, I thought you had a crush on him, so I rushed to see what kind of wonderful person can make my fourth brother abnormal. As a result, I didn't see the musician, but I saw Xiao Gu. Fourth brother, he's your baby, right? ”

"You're so open-mouthed." Gao Su shook his head and sighed. "How sooner or later will your temper change? Last time, I was beaten by the emperor with two hundred lashes and almost died, and you don't have a long memory. ”

As soon as he talked about this, Gao Yanzong suddenly couldn't laugh.

Back then, their eldest brother Gao Xiaoyu was forced to death by Gao Zhan, who had just ascended the throne, Gao Yanzong cried bitterly, so he made a straw man who looked like Gao Zhan, and asked while whipping with a whip: "Why do you want to kill my brother?" When his slave denounced this, Gao Zhan made him lie on the ground and whipped him with a horsewhip of 200 lashes, almost killing him.

When Gao Su learned about it, he took him back to the mansion to recuperate from his injuries, and said with tears in his eyes: "Fifth brother, you must not do such reckless things in the future, the eldest brother has passed away, and the fourth brother does not want to lose another brother." ”

Gao Yanzong hugged him and cried loudly, and then he really didn't do such a thing anymore.

However, their third brother was killed by Gao Zhan not long after, and the two lost another brother, but they could only swallow tears in their stomachs, and they did not dare to have the slightest resentment on the surface.

Gao Yanzong put away his lazy appearance, sat down at the table with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, I heard that the musician you redeemed is Zheng Huaiying, who composed "The Song of the King of Lanling"? ”

"Yes." Gao Su nodded calmly. "I've never had a music class in my palace, and now I have a musician, it shouldn't be nothing, right?"

"If it's another musician Kabuki, it's a matter of how much you want to raise, but this musician is different." Gao Yanzong got up and walked outside the door, looked around, and saw that no one was on the side, so he came back and sat next to Gao Su, and said in a low voice. "I heard that Empress Hu likes this person very much, and has repeatedly summoned him into the palace to play the piano, and said to the people in the left and right palaces: 'The best thing is Zheng Dongyuan.'" However, this is still secondary, it is reported that Queen Hu has a great friendship with the monks, and even the emperor acquiesced, so Queen Hu did not take Zheng Huaiying too seriously. But this musician made "Lanling King's Entrance Song", which has now spread to the north and south of the river, the fourth brother is famous all over the world, and the people praise it, think about it, what will the emperor think of you? Now that you don't avoid suspicion, but redeem the musician who composed the music and enter the house to make offerings, doesn't that make it clear that you appreciate this piece very much? This is called arrogance and disregard for the king. Fourth brother, don't you say? ”

Gao Su was shocked and frowned: "Fifth brother, I didn't think about it that much. It's a lack of consideration, but I've done it, so what? ”

Gao Yanzong sighed: "Now I have to take one step at a time, in short, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover it." If the emperor summons you, if you have any instructions, you can only agree to it, and you must not refute it. ”

"Of course I understand." Gao Su had to sigh. "I really didn't expect that if I kill the enemy and serve the country, I will have to tremble and walk on thin ice."

Gao Yanzong had no choice but to smile bitterly.

The two were silent for a while, and Gao Su said, "Forget it, I don't want those troublesome things." Fifth brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's go to dinner together. ”

"Okay." Gao Yanzong stood up, returned to his rogue appearance, and said with a smile. "That Xiao Gu is very interesting, I like it."

Gao Su remained silent and said lightly: "Her father is Gu Xian, her father-in-law is Lord Duan of the Bingzhou Assassin, and she herself is the general of Zhengwupin." ”

Gao Yanzong was stunned: "Really? His stepfather is Lord Duan Shaoduan? ”

"yes." Gao Su nodded and smiled slightly. "Lord Duan only has a son, no daughter, and he loves this righteous daughter like a pearl in his palm. He led the army to aid Luoyang, and he also took her with him. Later, the imperial court transferred her to serve with me, and Lord Duan also wrote to me to ask me to take more care of her and not let her be wronged. She was too young, so I took her with me and didn't let her go to the barracks, so as not to be bullied by those veterans. ”

"Oh, that's good." Gao Yanzong was very happy. "Since there is such a relationship, this little Gu can be a talisman for the fourth brother. After all, Lord Duan's identity is different, and the emperors of all dynasties have trusted him and relied on him very much. If you can get his help at a critical juncture, you will definitely be able to save the day. ”

Gao Su pondered for a moment before he said softly, "I've never thought about it like that. Lord Duan is an elder I respect, and Huan'er is innocent and cute, kind-hearted, at a young age, brave and fearless in the face of strong enemies, which is very rare, and I like her very much. ”

Gao Yanzong's face showed an ambiguous smile again: "It turns out that you like men? ”

"Nope." Gao Su was a little surprised. "I only like women."

"Isn't that Gu Huan......" Gao Yanzong suddenly understood, and couldn't help but be surprised. Is she a woman? How is that possible? Isn't she General Dingyuan? ”

Gao Su smiled happily: "Yes, she is the first female general of this dynasty. However, she likes to wear men's clothes, and she usually doesn't like to say that she is a woman, probably because she is afraid of being looked down upon in the army. I never say anything outside, I always call her little brother. ”

"Interesting, interesting." Gao Yanzong laughed. "It's so much fun, I love this kid. Fourth brother, you are really blessed, there are such people around you, why can't I meet them. ”

Gao Su patted him on the shoulder affectionately: "Fifth brother, you will have it too." ”

The two walked slowly to the flower hall, where Gu Huan was already waiting.

She was hungry, and soon finished bathing, put on her clothes and ran over, but she didn't see Gao Su, and it was inconvenient to call someone, so she had to sit at the table and wait.

The doors and windows were wide open, the autumn breeze passed through the hall, cool and pleasant, and she was bored and lazy lying on the table, looking at the scenery outside.

Several tall ginkgo trees are all golden leaves, there are many laurel trees next to them are blooming, the elegant fragrance permeates the whole garden, there are a few chrysanthemums by the door, the varieties are different, the forms are different, all contain buds to be released, rendering full of vitality. A few red-billed emerald feathered birds hop around the yard and occasionally fly to the flowers, making the branches flutter gently and add more charm.

Just as she was looking energetic, Gao Su and Gao Yanzong walked in side by side.

A beautiful man, a handsome guy, is really eye-catching. Except for Gao Yang, there is no one in the Gao family who is not beautiful, which is really blessed.

Gu Huan comfortably admired in his heart, and suddenly remembered the record of Gao Cheng's branch in the Gao family's genealogy: "Wen Jingyuan Empress Hu gave birth to Wang Xiaowan in Hejian, Wang Xiaoyu in Henan was born in the Song family, Wang Xiaoheng in Guangning, Wang Changgong in Lanling had no mother's surname, Chen gave birth to Ande Wang Yanzong, and Yan gave birth to Yuyang Wang Shaoxin." "The two most courageous generals in the Gao family in front of him, one of his mother is someone else's prostitute, and he gave it to Gao Cheng as an object, and the other person's mother is nowhere to be found, and her life experience is fascinating, which makes people sigh when they think about it.

She was thinking about it, wandering out of the world, Gao Su had already walked in the door, looking at her misty eyes and listless appearance, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "What? Sleepy? ”

Gu Huan said lazily: "Sleepy and hungry." I wanted to sleep, but I was so hungry that I couldn't sleep. ”

"Ahh Gao Yanzong smiled and teased her. "Xiao Gu, it's better to go back with me, I promise that I won't be hungry."

Gu Huan glanced at him, suddenly sat upright, and said solemnly: "I am an official of the imperial court, and I must act in accordance with the decree, and I am not allowed to leave my post without permission, please forgive King Ande." ”

Gao Yanzong was amused by her, slapped the table and said, "Fourth brother, fourth brother, I envy you so much." ”

Gao Su looked at Gu Huan dotingly, and then instructed the steward who followed behind him: "Quick, serve the food." ”

Gu Huan was hungry, she was not embarrassed at all, and she didn't care about her posture, and when the next people brought the dishes up, she couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and look at Gao Su with a blank eye.

Gao Yanzong didn't know what to do, and looked at them curiously.

Gao Su knew that she had to take care of etiquette, and when he saw her salivating but self-reliant cuteness, he felt very happy, so he picked up the bowl, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and then said to them, "Eat." ”

Gu Huan immediately moved, gulping down the delicious food with a look of enjoyment.

Gao Yanzong came to his senses at this time, and immediately leaned back with a smile: "Xiao Gu, you eat so well, others are not hungry, and they have a big appetite." ”

"Really?" Gu Huan looked at him in surprise. "Won't it?"

"It's true." Gao Su said with a smile. "I feel that way, too."

"Oh." Gu Huan tilted his head playfully and said with a smile. "It turns out that I am an appetizer and a good medicine for the spleen."

Gao Yanzong and Gao Su laughed at the same time.

The meal was heartily eaten, and then the three of them moved to the waterside pavilion and chatted while eating fruit. Most of the time is Gao Su and Gao Yanzong gossiping, Gu Huan leaned on the soft fragrant Ruyi couch, lazily peeled the pomegranate, put it in his mouth one by one, and occasionally got up to look at the fish in the water, looking very leisurely.

The breeze was cool, the cinnamon was fragrant, and the three of them couldn't help but feel tired, so they simply closed their eyes on the couch.

It didn't take long for the steward of the palace to run over in a hurry and lean over to report: "Lord, two fathers-in-law have come to the palace, and they are waiting in the front hall, saying that the emperor summoned the prince to enter the palace immediately." ”

Gao Su opened his eyes violently and immediately woke up.

Gao Yanzong sat up: "Is it only my fourth brother who is called?" ”

The steward replied respectfully: "They only said that the emperor summoned the prince, and the villain immediately rushed to report it, and did not dare to ask anything else." ”

"Well, I'll go change clothes right away, you go to entertain the two fathers-in-law, don't be lazy." Gao Su stood up, looked at his younger brother and Gu Huan calmly, and said calmly. "It's okay, I'll come when I go. Fifth brother, go back, don't wait here, I'll look for you when I come back from the palace. Huan'er, you rest first, if you want to go out to play, remember to bring a few more people. ”

Gu Huan also got up and shook his head at him: "I'm not going anywhere, waiting for you to come back." ”

Gao Yanzong told with concern: "Fourth brother, as long as you don't say that you are rebelling, or if you have any ugly words, you can bear with it, don't argue." If the emperor has any assignment, no matter how difficult it is, you will take it, and you must not shirk it. When we get out of the palace, we will discuss it again, and we can always solve it. ”

"I understand, don't worry." Gao Su patted him lightly on the shoulder, then turned to leave.

Gao Yanzong watched his back disappear outside the courtyard gate, and then turned his head to Gu Huan and said, "Xiao Gu, most of my fourth brother is going to be angry in the palace today, and when he comes back, you can comfort him more." ”

"Okay." Gu Huan nodded hurriedly.

Gao Yanzong stared at her face, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Fortunately, my fourth brother has you by his side." ”

Gu Huan immediately said: "Being by his side is the happiest thing for me." ”

Gao Yanzong gradually showed a pleased smile, nodded admiringly at her, and left directly.

Gu Huan looked at the water surface that rippled slightly in the wind, and his heart was in turmoil for a while. After a long time, she lay back on the couch and let out a long sigh.
