The day General An returned to Yangzhou was almost unknown to everyone.

General An of Da Shen can almost be said to be known to everyone - compared to Shen Huai, the king of Xiao who is equally famous, the nature of the two is not necessarily the same. Xiao Wang Shen Huai is the younger brother of His Majesty today, young and handsome, quite admired by the official lady, but Xiao Wang Ye is stubborn and ruthless, and the cruel means of doing things are chilling, and everyone is more afraid of him than respect.

The General's Mansion has been loyal for generations, and General An is even more impressive and admirable. The general's mansion has two brothers, each with its own jurisdiction, who are honest and strict for officials, but they obey the rule of the people under their hands. In the event of injustice, the General's Mansion is even more willing to help, not to mention the good deeds of setting up a tent to give porridge in the event of a natural disaster.

The people of Yangzhou are grateful for the love and gratitude of the General's Mansion, and the people's hearts are also inclined to this. When General An moved to Jingzhou, he didn't publicize An's departure, and the people didn't understand the reason, but they just thought that the general's mansion needed to practice in Jingzhou, and they were disappointed for a while.

And the last time, there were also many onlookers in Baiyuan Temple, who saw the events of that day clearly, and naturally tended to General An and An Li's mother and daughter, after An Li and Gu Qingyuan reconciled, Gu Mingxiu and Gu Liyi stayed in the General's Mansion, and no one among the people talked about Gu Mingxiu and others, but they counted Gu Qingyuan's lack of virtue clearly. There are many folk rumors, and the people are watching them, which is also the reason why Gu Qingyuan does not dare to correct the identity of Gu Changge and Gu Xiaodie.

thought that without Gu Mingxiu and An Li, Gu Changge would be able to become the concubine of the Gu Mansion openly, and there was no difference between Gu Mingxiu and Gu Mingxiu in terms of identity, but Gu Mingxiu didn't let her get her wish. The General's Mansion also fought this idea, under their deliberate guidance, Gu Qingyuan's mistreatment of his concubine was inevitably looked down upon, and even Gu Changge was also implicated, and he didn't dare to mention it again if he wanted to think about the identity of his concubine.

The last time General An returned, there was no fanfare, and there was no news from the DPRK and China, so it was inevitable that no one would know about it. This time, it was the will of the court and the central government himself, and the people naturally learned the news, and they stayed at the city gate early in the morning and looked forward to it.

When they saw the carriage procession coming slowly, the people were also holding back, cheering around and cheering, and the excitement on their faces could not be concealed. They threw flowers in their hands towards the convoy, shouting, "Look! It's the General's Palace! ”

"General Ann is back! It's General Ann, they're back! ”

"The leader is the little general of the An family!"

"That can't be wrong! Sure enough, General An is back! ”

The crowd around made excited sounds, the environment was noisy and lively, and An Ting in the sect couldn't help but widen his eyes. She lifted the curtain and looked out, and looked surprised: "Huh? Why are there so many people today....... Is this—is this all waiting for us? ”

She lifted the curtain, and immediately a bouquet of flowers was thrown in her direction. An Ting quickly caught the bouquet that smashed into her face, and the people outside the sect moved neatly. Anting is still a girl's family in the end, and with so many enthusiastic eyes, it is inevitable that there will be some stage fright and scalp numbness.

Showing a smile at the person who threw the flowers, An Ting glanced at it a few times, and quickly put down the curtain and patted his chest: "What a big battle.... It really scared the hell out of me! ”

Ah Wei was held in Xu's arms, and straightened up with a smile to reach the flower in Anting's hand. An Ting hurriedly handed the flowers to her casually, stared at An Li, who was smiling and silent, with wide eyes, and said with a little excitement: "Auntie! I've always heard them say that my grandfather was so revered, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes! The last time I came back, I was also in a hurry and low-key, and I didn't see any movement, and I thought that the General's Mansion was no longer owned by the people-"

The curtain of the carriage on the opposite side was lifted by the wind, revealing An Zhikang, who was riding side by side with the carriage. The calm man glanced at her lightly, with no emotion on his face.

almost biting off his tongue, An Ting hurriedly changed the topic: "Auntie, you always followed your grandfather and them to the battlefield in the past, didn't you?" In the past, my grandfather was also so admired, was it so lively? ”

An Li smiled and looked at her excitedly, raised his hand and patted the back of An Ting's hand, and said softly: "Yes, in the past, when I was not married, your grandfather was so loved." At that time, I was young, but I refused to admit defeat, and every time I returned from a battle, I always had to ride a horse with my eldest brother and them on this Yangzhou Avenue, and on both sides were people throwing flowers at us, shouting your grandfather's name. At that time, the momentum was not inferior to today. ”

"Really!" An Ting looked at the curtain of the car that was lifted by the wind from time to time with some excitement, and his tone was a little lost, "It's a pity.... The little cousin and Xiu'er can't see it together. ”

"It's a pity."

On the tall building, the person who looked down through the bamboo curtain sighed slightly. She pursed her lips and took a small sip of the tea in the cup, her eyes were as gentle as spring water, and there was a little bit of light: "If my father sees it here at this moment, I don't know how much regret I will have in my heart." If he had been nicer to his fourth sister in the past, he would not be so despised now. ”

"It's a pity, Master Gu has never been a smart person." The man opposite her was kind and calm, his face was like a crown of jade, but his eyes were lined with a bit of indelible coldness, which made him a little arrogant. He laughed lightly, echoing the person opposite, he sighed, "It's just that you don't have to worry, even if your father doesn't come to see this grand scene today, someone will naturally be able to reach his ear emperor." After all, it's not easy to say that you don't know about such a big thing. ”

Gu Qingyue smiled slightly, not caring at all that the person opposite was discussing her father, nor did she care about the faint ridicule in the other party's tone. She smiled and said: "What His Royal Highness said is that my father really has no ability, but he has long known that General An will return to Yangzhou today, and I am afraid that he will not be able to make any trouble." ”

"Just because he doesn't want to make trouble doesn't mean others don't want to make trouble." The fifth prince smiled faintly, turned his head to look at the carriage and horses slowly passing downstairs, "Although General An can be regarded as a kind person, he is not a master to be messed with. Even though it's been a year now, he's afraid he still holds a grudge against your father. Even if Gu Qingyuan lowered his face and deliberately got close to him, General An was afraid that he would not give any face. ”

After pondering for a moment, Gu Qingyue bowed her head: "Yes." For the benefit of the second sister and the crown prince, the father will inevitably approach An Li and the fourth sister, but can he please him....." She put down the cup in her hand, lowered her eyes and smiled very lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "I'm afraid everyone can know the situation." The fourth sister has never been a soft-hearted person, and she will not recognize this father. ”

"Your father is stupid, sweeping An Li out of the house, completely ignoring the general's mansion behind her, and even his own daughter-in-law is ruthless. You are so intelligent, but he only superficially looks at you and ignores you, and lets you ignore it, without noticing anything unusual. The Fifth Prince carefully looked at Gu Qingyue's expression, and his tone contained a little bit of distress and regret, "It's ridiculous to treat an empty straw bag beauty like Gu Changge as a baby." ”

There were faint ripples in her heart, and Gu Qingyue didn't show any emotion on her face. She just lowered her head slightly, and said softly, "Your Highness Fifth is laughing." The second sister not only has a good look, but also a first-class talent. Didn't the Fifth Highness also see the performance of the Wenhui? My second sister is still very smart. ”

"I'm just clever." His Royal Highness sneered and looked at her gently, "You are good at forbearance, and you are very happy to teach me." ”

Gu Qingyue closed her eyes and smiled softly: "For the great cause of His Highness, everything is nothing." ”

On the day of listening to the literary meeting of Fengtai, it was still very lively. The news of General An's return was still spreading in Yangzhou City, and there was no trace of dissipation at all, and the news of Tingfengtai's Wenhui was also spread at this moment.

Gu Qingyue followed Gu Changge's sisters to the listening platform.

There were a lot of young ladies in the courtyard, and when they saw the three of them coming, they just smiled and surrounded Gu Changge, and joked coquettishly: "No matter how I invite you these days, you refuse to come out, it turns out that you are thinking about how to raise yourself into a beautiful woman?" ”

"That's it, I've invited Changge for several days, and you won't come once, that's the reason."

Gu Changge was surrounded by everyone, but she couldn't cry or laugh at the moment, the smile on her face was extremely gentle, and the corners of her eyes were a little charming, just pursed her lips and smiled lightly, and she couldn't help but look stunned: "You guys.... If you don't see me for a few days, you want to joke like this. A few days ago, I had a cold, not suitable to go out, I was afraid that you would be worried about it, so I pushed it away, and I was bored reading at home these days, and it was very boring.... Where is it that you joke like this? ”

"Being sick doesn't damage half of your beauty, I look at it and envy it, if one day I get sick, and then I lose a few points, just like you." The young lady who spoke wore a cloak that had not been removed, and her face was round and lovely, and people were happy when they saw it.

Gu Changge smiled: "What are these words?" Where can you still look at yourself sick. ”

"When Changge is sick, he is studying poetry at home, practicing the piano or writing, where is the same as you, I am afraid that if I am sick, I will have to change the way to eat." Dong Zhiyue walked over from behind Gu Changge, raised her hand and pinched the young lady's round cheeks, sneered and turned to look at Gu Changge, "Are you better?" ”

"It's great now." Gu Changge replied softly, "It's been a long time... Zhiyue. ”

"It's true that we haven't seen each other for a long time, so why don't I go and sit there." Dong Zhiyue looked at Gu Xiaodie, smiled slightly, and turned around and walked away.

Gu Changge raised his steps and was about to follow, looking back at Gu Qingyue who was left out with some apologies: "Third sister? ”

"Second sister, let's go, Qingyue will take a stroll here." Gu Qingyue replied in a low voice, although she was no longer cowardly between her eyebrows and eyes, her tone was gentle, as if she was afraid of frightening others.

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
