Chapter 19: The Mysterious Mr. Gao VI

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” the dividing line of the mysterious Mr. Gao VI

"If you want me to say, none of you brothers have Lian'er knows the books at home. The third child only knows how to move home, how many times will you be able to sit down and read your precious books? The eldest is also busy with mundane affairs, and the other children are diligent in practicing martial arts, and they don't pay much attention to studying. "Since they must meet this Miss Cousin, then let's meet, if you come, you will be safe, this is also a good temptation, know yourself and know the other, If the other party can't even tell the true identity of this Miss Cousin for a while, it is not enough to be a strong opponent, Chen Biyan's smile on her lips when she spoke, let Xinjie understand what Grandma meant." Speaking of Lian'er, why hasn't she come to dinner yet? This tone was obviously full of the old man's doting on this junior, and Mrs. Tang didn't think so.

"Sister Lian asked me to bring a message, I forgot," Xinyu hurriedly responded: "Sister Lian was busy at noon and didn't eat, and she didn't use it until late in the afternoon, so she said that she wouldn't eat at night, so she went to Zhufeng Pavilion to do something first, and said that she would come later to ask the old lady for peace." ”

"This lady is very busy, and we haven't had a chance to see her since we came. Seems to be a very capable sister.。 I wonder if Mo'er is destined to meet her sister? Gao Lingmo glanced at Xinjie with his eyes, and seeing his indifferent appearance, he added a little more certainty in his heart. Mr. Gao glanced at Gao Lingmo with a wary look, he intuitively felt that this Miss Table was not simple, but Gao Lingmo did not understand the meaning.

Call it sister, Xinyu muttered in her heart? Are you really going to follow the third brother? This Sister Lian hasn't passed the door yet, so she wants to block her? Xinyu was quite disdainful in her heart. Seeing that the third brother just smiled slightly, and didn't say much, he was suspicious in his heart, could it be that the third brother was really as attentive as rumored? Just thinking about it, I heard my mother say: "Where can this girl from a small family be worthy of Miss Gao, even the ladies in the palace are praised, and she is a famous talented girl in Beijing." ”

Gao Lingmo said this very ironingly. Because of Mr. Gao's relationship, all she has heard over the years is this kind of admiration. Mrs. Tang's next words made Gao Lingmo even more useful: "Miss Gao, this time I came, just stay a few more days, don't rush back, from now on, I will often come to the house to walk, I only have Xinyu, a girl in my family, who is still married, let her learn from you well, don't be like a wild girl all day long, I am grateful if I can learn from you." Moreover, in this rural place, it is rare to have a knowledgeable peer like you, and you also have a companion for each other, so that she will not learn badly from those who have no tutor and are ignorant and ignorant. ”

Although Tang Xinjie is not from Mrs. Tang, she is also a mother-in-law, and in her eyes, the cousin is not a member of the family, which makes Gao Lingmo look up to herself again.

Although Xinyu was dissatisfied with her mother's words, she couldn't save her mother's face in front of the guests. She also knew that her mother had always felt that she had married into the Tang Sect, and she felt wronged away from the prosperous life in the capital, and she felt that her aunt did not respect her as a sister-in-law and always helped the third brother, so she even hated her uncle's niece.

The old lady glanced at this daughter-in-law indifferently, she really didn't know how her mother-in-law picked her granddaughter-in-law, she had been married to the Tang Sect for so many years, and she had not grown at all. At this moment, Lian'er is busy with the 1.8 million taels of mistakes in the Luoyang Branch, which is also solving the problem for Xintian, as a future mother-in-law, she is demolishing her platform here. She felt very tired all these years, Mrs. Tang was too ignorant, so she didn't dare to let her interfere in all the affairs of Baicaotang, Xintian was not mature and stable enough, and there were too many things for her to worry about. But it's okay, it makes life more fun. At least now there is something for her to entertain, Looking at Gao Lingmo, the candidate for the crown princess that Yixiang once liked, pretending to be extremely emotional about her grandson at the moment, she felt that she should take the opportunity to embarrass this kid, anyway, this ancestor of the Gao family can't go anywhere.

"Xinjie, since Miss Gao also likes to read your books, why don't you accompany Miss Gao to Zhufeng Pavilion after dinner, and introduce your collection well."

Tang Lan glanced at her mother vigilantly, she didn't know what her mother was going to do, the marriage between this kid and that girl was what he was silently looking forward to, what did the old man want? And Mrs. Tang was a little remorseful, how could she help the third child marry a powerful daughter-in-law, don't add to the blockage of that little hoof, but let herself not be happy in the future, so Mrs. Tang's wind direction in this matter is like a June day, and suddenly changed again: "Why don't you go to see it another day, Today's distinguished guests come all the way from the city, and the road is also hard." Anyway, it's still a few days away, so it's better to rest early today. ”

Xinjie, who is one of the protagonists, didn't speak from beginning to end, and just wanted to echo Mrs. Tang's rare kind proposal, someone came in to report that Yue Huaxuan's high-flying manager was here, and wanted to see the third young master.

Goofy was found by him. After settling the Gao family's ancestors and grandchildren to the guest room at noon, Lian'er and he discussed the matter of Luoyang with his grandmother, the number is so large that it is definitely not something one or two people can do. Moreover, those who dare to move the Tang Sect are either stupid or must have big plans and backers. Seeing that the battle for the great position has begun, the Tang family is on the cusp of the storm, and at this time it is necessary to build a tight fence and not leave a gap for the opponent. It turned out to be a suspicion of Mrs. Tang, and he didn't want to take care of the affairs of Baicaotang, but at a special moment, since he took over, he naturally had to do it thoroughly. No matter what his status in the Tang family was, but he was always a member of the Tang family, and he decided to use his strength to clean up the Luoyang branch with outsiders.

Watching Xinjie leave gracefully, Gao Lingmo suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't recognize. He is not a royal family and has no noble status, but this man has a nobility that people can't ignore, and even in Yixiang, she has never had this feeling of looking up. And the calmness and atmosphere that are rare in men of his age are also not seen in men of her age. Since entering Tangzhuang, the changes in her granddaughter's eyes and expression in the face of Tang Xinjie have not escaped Mr. Gao's eyes. When Mr. Gao knew about the instructions given by Yixiang to Gao Lingmo, he felt extremely disappointed in his heart. Although he didn't want Gao Lingmo to become the crown princess and spend his life in the cannibalistic palace one day, Yixiang's original promise to Gao Lingmo was also a promise to him. Giving such an order now, no matter what status the promise is given to her after it succeeds, at least for the moment it is treating her as a pawn. He himself was already a pawn used by the first emperor to compete with the queen mother, in order to achieve the first emperor's naΓ―ve wishes, he had to give up the ideals of his youth and get involved in this dark battle for the throne, but this does not mean that he wants to sacrifice his children and grandchildren.

Gao Fei was not surprised that Xinjie asked him to help deal with the affairs of Baicaotang, but he was happy for his brother, and he was finally willing to help. Although Yuehuaxuan and Aokitang's careers are no worse than the Tang family's Baicaotang, he is a member of the Tang family, and after being ignored for so many years, he is finally recognized. To Gao Fei's surprise, Xinjie appeared with the white girl, not only did not shy away from her knowing the operation of Aoki Hall, but also let her participate in it, obviously there have been changes in the past few days that he doesn't know. Although there are many singers and dancers in Yuehuaken in various places, there are no women in Aokido. Aoki Hall is also the real hard work of Xinjie over the years, and the brothers in the hall are carefully selected and rigorously trained. Aokido is divided into five parts, commerce, letters, health, wind, and water. In addition to being skilled in martial arts, everyone must also have one or more skills. For example, the Ministry of Commerce is naturally related to business, and they are the economic pillars of the entire Aokido; The brothers of the Ministry of Information are responsible for the communication between the various branches of Aokido and the brothers who are in the field and within Aokido. They are the ones who train and mobilize the guards, and they are responsible for monitoring and protecting; The Wind Brothers specialize in intelligence gathering; The Mizube brothers are proficient in medical science, and Aokido has its own medical centers in various places, which are run by the Mizube brothers, and they can go to see a doctor on weekdays and be responsible for emergency care for their brothers. They are scattered all over the place, some on the bright side of Aokitang, and some scattered in industries that have nothing to do with the Tang family and Aokido.

In winter, the Wabao village seems to be very depressed, especially in the cold night, people go to bed early, the countryside seems unusually quiet, only the melodious sound of the piano floats out of Tangzhuang. Everyone in the village knows that the young master of the Tang family is good at music, but this time they don't know that the player of this guqin is not from the Tang family, but Gao Lingmo. After staying in Tangzhuang for two days, she finally met Tang Xinjie's fiancΓ©e, the cousin, who was a little more beautiful than she expected, and seemed to be very busy, and there were always various stewards of the Tang family to report to her during the day. It seems that she is very good at housework. In addition to speaking elegantly, Gao Lingmo didn't think she was special, although grandpa said that this woman was not simple. And in the backyard of the house, busy women are not necessarily favored. I saw her a few times in the Zhuangzi, and the dresses she wore were all of the best fabrics, although the cut was chic to set off her delicate curves, but there were no fashionable embroidery patterns and styles in the capital, except for rosewood or silver hairpins, and she was never seen wearing decent jewelry. I remember that it was rumored that she was an orphan girl who came to run, and there was no foil from her mother's family, so it was a last resort to be so simple. Thinking of her Gao family's illustrious family background, her sense of superiority arises spontaneously.

The only thing that made Gao Lingmo feel uncomfortable was that Tang Xinjie, a man who couldn't move him when he looked at anything, always had a touch of tenderness in his eyes when he looked at this orphan girl. And this tenderness never fell on her. This inspired Gao Lingmo's competitiveness, even if it wasn't for Brother Yixiang, she wanted to conquer this man, even if she didn't want him after he was moved, or if she carried out Brother Yixiang's orders, after approaching him, if she could convince him to work for Brother Yixiang, if not, she would ruin him. Either way, she told herself that approaching him to conquer him was carrying out the orders of Yixiang's brother.

Mr. Gao had already returned to Xianyang City the day before, leaving Gao Lingmo here to accompany Miss Xinyu of the Tang family for a few days. Before leaving, her grandfather told her to let her go and fight for Tang Xinjie. Although Gao Lingmo didn't understand why her grandfather's attitude had changed so much in the past few days, she was willing to comply.

In the past few days, she deliberately created five chance encounters with Xinjie, three times alone, and chased him to the study every day at dinner and after dinner. However, the warmth of this man's sun never shone on her, and the more she ignored it, the more it aroused her desire to conquer, and tonight she performed for the old lady, hoping to impress him with the sound of the piano. She is a high apprentice of Chu Ling, the first pianist in Jiangnan, and she is confident that no one can surpass her except for the master. She knew Xinjie's good music, but she didn't know the grand occasion of the Tang family on the old lady's birthday, when she was still on the way from Jiangnan to Xianyang with her grandfather. If she knew Mei Lian's true identity, she would not have taken this step rashly. Chu Ling should be Lian'er's nephew, a disciple who ranks in the middle of the division. If there was no tragedy that year, where would it be Chu Ling's turn to be the first pianist. After playing as hard as she could, she realized that she was just an accompanist, and the watch lady didn't know what she was thinking when she was looking at the night sky, while Xinjie kept looking at iQue's fiancΓ©e with a smile on her face. This lingering picture looked very hypocritical and contrived in Gao Lingmo's eyes, and he felt that the cousin was too good at pretending, pretending to be innocent and sleepwalking to confuse men. It's not that she's not good enough, it's that the woman has too many means.

Still, she strolled up to Xinjie and asked him softly what he thought of the music. Lian'er got up with a gentle smile and went to prepare a supper snack for her grandmother, leaving enough space for Gao Lingmo to play. In Gao Lingmo's opinion, this is the woman who is finally interested.

Xinjie felt irritable in his heart the moment Lian'er left, but he wouldn't show it, Gao Lingmo's noise was very boring, especially the self-righteous display in the piano music, which was even more ridiculous. In the end, he asked him to accompany him to Zhufeng Pavilion to get the piano score. And grandma has been having a good time these days, and she is trying her best to let Xinjie accompany her. He could ignore Gao Lingmo, but he couldn't ignore his grandmother, so he reluctantly took her to the Wenxin room where the music scores were collected in the Bamboo Wind Pavilion. This Wenxin room was built by my aunt and uncle together, and it collects all kinds of musical instruments, music scores, and repertoire created by my uncle and aunt on the market, and various notes. After Lian'er arrived, it was further sorted out. It's just that there are too many things collected here, and the space is limited, so the display shelves have to be placed close together. Fortunately, there are no obese people in the Tang Gate, and it is not a problem to walk sideways in the middle of the shelf.

When Xinjie went to look for Gao Lingmo's score, the woman also squeezed over, her body rubbed him intentionally or unintentionally, and rubbed her bright red rouge marks on his moon-white sleeves. He didn't understand what he didn't understand after so many years of wandering among the flowers, although tolerating her these days was to know what they wanted to do, but it didn't mean that he had to be passively provoked and played. Out of disgust with her, he was going to teach her a lesson, and deliberately tiptoed to get something on top of the shelf, causing her to lean forward so hard that he squeezed her against the shelf. One knee was raised as if to increase her height, but in fact it was to push her sensitive area. Although Gao Lingmo confessed herself to Yixiang a few years ago, and Yixiang just used her as a pawn to trap Mr. Gao, only occasionally, she didn't have any real experience, where did she understand the doorway of these masters among the flowers, and she lost her concentration in an instant. And he stretched out his hand and pretended to support her, and whispered in a low voice: "I'm sorry, it's narrow here, but it hurts you?" The man's voice was so penetrating that it penetrated her entire heart, and she shook her head shyly and leaned gently against his chest. As everyone knows, at this time, the master of internal strength had already injected true qi into some acupoints, making some of her special bloodlines gradually become extremely excited, eager to seek comfort from him.

But the man said, "It's too narrow here, let's go out." Before she could understand what she meant, he took her hand and took her to a couch room in the Bamboo Wind Pavilion, and just when she thought he would do something to her, he clicked on a few of her acupuncture points, which made her faint on the couch and complete the game by herself in her dream. And he stepped out of the room, called the two maidens on duty, and told them to stand guard at the door, and floated away by himself. I went to my grandmother to comment, and then hugged my little wife back to my courtyard. But Gao Lingmo drove the clouds with him in his dream, and the clouds came and went. Until dawn, I woke up and found myself alone on the couch of the Bamboo Wind Pavilion, with disheveled clothes and marks all over my body. asked the girl at the door, saying that the third young master had left last night, so did he have it with him? She was convinced that there was, that it felt too real.

After a morning of entanglement, she cried bitterly and went to find Miss Nabiao, saying that she was a Xinjie person last night, and hoped to be able to accompany Xinjie with her. Lian'er naturally knew that what she said was not true, although Xinjie didn't tell her anything, but this person left him there alone for Gao Lingmo last night in order to punish her, squeezing out the last bit of spirit in her. Looking at Lian'er's calm face, she couldn't hear an answer for a long time, and the anger in her heart began to rise.

In the next few days, Gao Lingmo covered up her self-esteem, and showed weakness to this woman in and out of her words, saying that as long as she could be with Xinjie, she didn't mind being sisters with this lowly woman from a small family, but this woman didn't know whether she was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, so she just didn't answer. Since she is so uninteresting, it is better to ruin her.

Anyway, Brother Xiang let himself win over Xinjie or ruined him, so ruining this eye-catching woman is helping Brother Xiang in any way. So the next morning, she excused herself from Tangzhuang and sent a letter to the people sent by Yixiang to help her, asking them to make sure that the woman had been brought to bear out in the next few days.

Just as the messenger set off for the Imperial Tomb, at Yixiang's residence near the Imperial Tomb, he was following the way taught by the red-clothed Guru and enjoying the three maidservants that the Guru had given him to practice collecting yin and replenishing yang. His gaze lingered on one of the maidservants for a long time, and then he sent the others away. This servant girl is too much like her, the woman who still appears in his dreams from time to time, the once popular female official Ning'er next to the old woman of the Queen Mother. For him, he once fought with his brothers, and was reprimanded by his father for this. Eventually, the woman died under his sword. Although there are many differences in the temperament of the servant girl in front of him, but the facial features are too similar, Yi Xiang doesn't want to think about it, at this moment, only relying on his own feelings and preferences, he dragged her over domineeringly, and soon began to eat her over and over again in the way he repeated thousands of times in his dreams.

In the side room, the red-clothed master of Gu Fan listened happily to Yixiang's movements, and the maidservant's painful voice was like beautiful music, making the laugh lines on his face deeper and deeper. Since Yixiang was deposed and sent to the imperial mausoleum, they have found the most suitable spokesperson in the Central Plains. Entrusted by King Gufan, the master traveled thousands of miles to the Central Plains to accompany Yixiang, not only to help him plan the reset, but also to help him practice martial arts to improve his internal strength, so as to gain his full trust. And the rewards they expected were also rich, and the twelve prefectures and counties of Daxingwei adjacent to Gufan were merged into the Gufan Kingdom after Yixiang's successful accession to the throne.

Looking at the painful expression of the servant girl under him, Yi Xiang felt very happy, as if he was enjoying and torturing that person. Over the years, every time he remembers that little * has put him in a love-hate relationship. That woman's indifference to him made it clear that the old lady did not approve of him. That old pious woman only has Yiyi in her heart, whether it is the people who are arranged around him or everything planned for him, she is so thoughtful. They were all her grandchildren, and he didn't know why he couldn't get into her eyes so much. And that little * has always had Yiyi without him in his eyes, no matter how he is courteous to her and irritates her, she is so plain when she faces him, as if she is air. And she is always so gentle and polite when facing Yiyi, and she thinks well for him in all aspects. People are so weird, how many women in the palace and outside the palace had to come to stick to him, but he just couldn't look down on it, only looking at that woman was pleasing to the eye, and she didn't have him in her eyes.

For so many years, he never understood why he was so impulsive, would draw his sword at the woman he liked, and kill her with a sword. The contempt in her eyes for him as she fell made his heart throb violently, and he felt the sweetness in his mouth. It wasn't the first time he had killed someone, he didn't remember how many enemies he had fallen under his sword, but this woman, after seeing her fall, he couldn't bear it anymore and ran away. By the time he went back to look for her, she had been thrown into a mass grave. Out of guilt, he wanted to bury her, and he sent people to search for her there for most of the day, but he couldn't find her body. And since then, she has always appeared in his dreams, sometimes shy, sometimes angry, no matter which one, he can't extricate himself from love. For three years, he pretended to deal with the surveillance of all parties during the day, often sleeping in the house, and meeting her in his dreams. At night, he infiltrated his secret training base through a secret passage and planned a plan with his subordinates.

When the people of the ancient kingdom approached him, as a child of the royal family, he was disgusted at first, after all, this was his country. However, after several entanglements and pains, he still accepted that compared with the three thousand miles of rivers and mountains, Daxing, a place that was so remote that he would never set foot in his life, was not worth mentioning at all. After he agreed to the other party's conditions, the other party really did not break his promise, and actively planned everything for him, even a woman who used it to practice.

The contact with the people of Gufanguo, he hid it from Master Gao. Gao Deqing, the old man, relying on the emperor's grandfather's appreciation of him, often did not look at him as a prince, often taught him, and always said that he was not right or wrong. If it weren't for the fact that he was still useful, he wouldn't have bothered to deal with him. Fortunately, he has a lot of hidden forces secretly left to him by his grandfather. One day, he wants to impress Lao Er. and that annoying Gao Lingmo, who always thought that he was the best choice for the crown princess. For a woman like her, if he was really in the big position, he would be able to give her the position of an ordinary palace concubine. Thinking about that woman, Gao Lingmo is far behind. He was a little discouraged, why did he think of that woman again?

He didn't tell the old man about Gu Fan, if he knew, something might happen. Old Man Gao controls all the forces left to him by the imperial grandfather, and he must dig them back little by little.

After the news was delivered, Gao Lingmo began to look forward to it, but unexpectedly it was the domestic servant sent by her grandfather to pick her up from Xianyang.

"You want to ruin Tang Xinjie's fiancΓ©e?"

Gao Lingmo heard her grandfather's inquiry, she was not surprised, her grandfather controlled most of Brother Xiang's power.

"Your old man knows, why did Brother Xiang let me get close to Tang Xinjie, that woman was too much of a way."

"You're trapped?"

"I didn't." But her heart began to wonder, she has been looking forward to being alone with him for the past few days, looking forward to touching his body again, does she no longer love Brother Xiang?

Mr. Gao looked at her for a long time: "You clean up now, go to Lingnan with Yongfu, never come back, and don't see Yixiang again." ”

Gao Lingmo looked at her grandfather in surprise, she knew that her grandfather had placed a place in Lingnan, saying that it was for their family to take refuge in a last resort.

"Don't ask about Yixiang again, no matter when, don't come back."

"What if Brother Xiang ascends the throne?"

"He," Mr. Gao took a deep breath, "he can't, he won't have a chance in his life." ”

"Brother Xiang has an accident?"

"Not yet. We're not up yet. ”

"Then why do you say that?"

"Whether we had an incident or not, he couldn't sit in that seat. He doesn't deserve it. No matter the time, place, and people, he can't get involved, the only thing he has is the paranoia of the first emperor. ”

"You give up Brother Xiang?"

"I'm not going to give up on him. The promise to the Emperor doomed me to do something for him, but not only was it a no-win thing, but even if he won the throne, I would not and could not help him keep that son, because he was not worthy. ”

Gao Lingmo was shocked: "What is the reason why your old man changed his original intention?" ”

"When he was the crown prince, although I felt that he had a lot of flaws, but he was straightforward by nature, not too bad, and since he lost that son, many of his bad qualities have been exposed. In the past two years, he has been secretly communicating with the people of the Gufan Kingdom without me, and has traded the cities and people of the Celestial Empire with the Gufan people. Such a despicable man is not worthy of kingship. ”
