Epilogue (End)

Zhang Xuan glanced at Gao Hao fixedly, frowning slightly.
Not wanting him to recognize himself, Gao Hao lowered his head and avoided it. It wasn't until Zhang Xuan stepped away that he raised his head again.
In Jiankang City, Gao Hao only stayed for five or six days before leaving. The current Jiankang City, singing every night, exudes a kind of morbid luxury from the inside out, which is completely different from Sui Di, which makes everyone who is accustomed to seeing the world feel stuffy in their chests, and there is always a sense of sadness, so under their strong request, Gao Hao had to leave early.
When he came to the outside of Hangzhou, he saw a carriage on the official road from a distance.
Seeing the familiar sign of the carriage, Cheng Shi and the others let out a cheer, and the horses rushed away.
After a while, Gao Hao and his party rushed to the front.
At this moment, not far ahead, a carriage also galloped in this direction. But the carriage came to a halt after a hundred paces, and out of it came a beautiful girl dressed in a fiery red dress.
The girl stretched out her head, looked at the black-clothed man who was looking at Gao Hao and the others in the carriage in front of her, and then looked back with her eyes shining: "Sister Mei, it's really him!" β
As soon as the girl's voice fell, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who was delicately dressed and had elegant manners immediately stretched out her head.
Sister Mei, the delicate girl, glanced at the man in black fixedly, her eyes showed joy, and she said in a low voice: "This time, you can't miss it again." β
At this moment, Gao Hao and the others had already joined the man in black, seeing them giggling in a heap, and seeing an ordinary-looking teenager in the group calling "father" at the man in black, Sister Mei's eyes showed a touch of disdain. "I knew that his wife was nothing more than that," he whispered. β
This man in black is so unusually handsome, but his son is ordinary-looking, isn't it that the wife he married looks ordinary or what?
I saw Sister Mei staring at the handsome man in black with shining eyes. The girl in red couldn't help but remind: "But Sister Mei, he has a son." Even if he is willing to divorce his wife and marry you, you are also a stepfamily. β
Hear the words of the girl in the red dress. Sister Mei's eyes flashed with contempt, but in a blink of an eye, she hid this emotion. She looked at the black-robed man intently, and explained in a low voice: "You don't understand this, I'd rather be a powerful concubine than a commoner's wife." You see, every time the people who appear next to him are very brave and respectful to him. Besides, last time, he casually threw a hundred taels of gold to those village elders. If it weren't for the riches, how could it be? β
She sighed and said, "This world is not as good as day by day, maybe when the Sui people will call." When the war is in chaos, only this kind of rich and powerful people can enjoy peace. β
Speaking of this, Sister Mei whispered, "Don't say anything for a while, I'll arrange it." "Her partner, righteousness is righteousness, she is unabashed, she is stupid, she doesn't want to be ruined by her.
The red-robed girl didn't pay attention to Sister Mei's warning, and she said in a whisper, "But it's okay." Sister Mei, even if you are smart and know how to use medicine, I still feel that something is wrong. Look at his staring gaze, it's terrifying. He just looked at me, and my legs are still weak. β
Hearing that her companion spoke so frivolously, and actually said that she knew how to use drugs so much, Sister Mei's eyes couldn't help but flash a look of annoyance.
I think she is from an ordinary background. But isn't that Concubine Zhang just the daughter of a soldier? Besides, what she is asking for is not the emperor of a country, but just to find a capable magnate. If you are beautiful and intelligent, why can't you live the life of a man on earth?
As for being a concubine, hmph, she never thought about it. There is a so-called strange commodity to live in, she wants to approach this man quietly, and then become his indispensable person, find another opportunity to get rid of his wife, and then let him marry her!
Women, isn't the most valuable thing this body of flesh and skin? If you don't buy a good price and find a good one to rely on when you are young, do you still want to marry an ordinary husband and spend your whole life for money?
And what about calculating him? I just want to live a good life, is this also wrong?
Thinking of this, Sister Mei turned around and smiled softly at the girl behind her: "Yu'er, you go back first." β
"Why?"
Sister Mei bit her lip and said a little shyly: "I, I'll explain to you later, Yu'er, can you go back first?" Sister Mei's eyes were pleading, and her tone was extremely soft, although the red-robed girl was reluctant, she still said, "That, okay." β
watched as Yu'er got into the carriage and left her until she disappeared from her vision. Sister Mei hurriedly turned around.
At this time, Gao Hao and the others got into the carriage, and the team began to start.
Just as they were setting off, suddenly, a young girl's sharp cry came, "Brother! Is that you? Elder brother! β
In the joy mixed with a kind of mournful cry, everyone turned their heads to look, but saw that more than 20 meters ahead, Sister Mei was actually wearing long hair, and a handful of tears and snot rushed straight in.
She was so impulsive that she looked stupid and couldn't see anyone except the person in her eyes. At this time, Gao Changgong's carriage had already stepped forward, and Sister Mei was stupid, but she was stunned, and pounced on the high-headed horses.
She pounced very quickly, completely ignoring it, Rao is husband is really a master, and she was also taken aback. And at the time of this fright, Sister Mei had already rushed to the front of Gao Changgong's carriage, and her petite body completely fell under the frightened and standing horse's hooves!
"Not good!" Several of the guards were startled and rushed out at the same time. In the blink of an eye, Sister Mei was successfully fished out by a guard.
Rescued in danger, Sister Mei had a beautiful face, but in a blink of an eye, she struggled down from the guard, pounced on Gao Changgong in the carriage, and screamed in her mouth: "Brother, brother, I'm Mei'er, don't you know me?" Brotherβ"
The voice was poignant, revealing endless anticipation and joy.
Sister Mei threw herself on Gao Changgong's carriage Xuanyuan, only to see her hair scattered, raised her head and begged, looking at Gao Changgong intently.
This scene came too suddenly. It was only at this point that everyone reacted.
After a brief silence, a very sudden, high-pitched laughter came from behind Sister Mei. "This sister-in-law, your way of recognizing your relatives is outrageous."
His voice was full of banter, "Don't say anything else." My father's appearance is still hard to find in the world. Are you really sure he looks like that older brother of yours? β
Touching his bare chin, Gao Hao blinked his eyes, curiously stretched his face in front of Sister Mei's eyes, and asked seriously: "Are you sure you didn't want to rely on my father, so you deliberately called it that?" β
This, what is this word?
Sister Mei's face changed.
But in the blink of an eye. She remembered that her face was elegant and could give people a sense of culture and cultivation. As long as you grit your teeth and don't admit it, what can the young man in front of you do?
As soon as she thought so, she looked at Gao Gao's eyes that were so clear that they seemed to be able to see through the world. After shrinking involuntarily, Sister Mei saw Gao Hao smile when she saw it. Then, he got closer and closer to her, and after winking at Sister Mei, Gao Hao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, let me introduce you, this man you want to rely on, he is not stupid, and he has never seen a woman." So, this little trick of yours is completely useless to him. By the way, he's still a ruthless person, and even if you strip naked and try to hold him responsible, he'll only give you a sword to pierce your heart. By the way, I forgot to get to the point. He also has a wife, his wife's room, my mother, is a first-class beauty in the world, and he is incomparably matched, which is much more compatible than you. β
Speaking of this in one breath, Gao Hao touched his chin and said quite seriously: "I see that your eyes are firm, and you are an unwilling character, so it is better for you to marry me." β
Speaking of this, Gao Hao shook his head, "Marriage is a big deal, out of prudence, why don't we do it all over again?" You hit the carriage again and recognize your brother again, but the brother you recognize can't be my father. This is important, but you can't get it wrong! β
Gao Hao's words were ridiculous, but they were also mean. Under such an attack, I'm afraid that no one will be able to hold out, right?
Finally, Sister Mei also turned white.
Seeing her pale face and shrink back, Gao Hao didn't force her anymore, he grinned and walked to the side and turned over and got on the horse.
And as Gao Hao retreated, the carriage also started, and Sister Mei, who shrugged her head, let this powerful team leave her field of vision.
At this time, many passers-by noticed this scene and pointed at her.
However, the eyes of the world, Sister Mei never minded, she just lowered her head, thinking about her mistake just now: the young man just said right, he is not stupid, and he has never seen a woman, so her trick is useless to him. By the way, she also made one of the biggest mistakes this time, that is, she shouldn't have chosen to use a trick when so many people were ...... It's really no wonder to her, you know, the last time I saw him, it was half a year ago, she was afraid of missing this opportunity to meet, and the next time it will be half a year and a year!
Slowly raising her head, Sister Mei gritted her teeth and stared at the team that was going away, and secretly thought: It seems that my plan is set high, such a powerful person has been in the bush for a long time, and he knows very well about women and the tricks that women can make. Next time, I can't target such a powerful person.
When Sister Mei was thinking, she saw the red-clothed girl who Gao Changgong and others had passed, and hurriedly urged the carriage to come and pick her up.
Looking at the familiar carriage that gradually appeared in her field of vision, Sister Mei smiled and said: This stupid thing is not useless. In the blink of an eye, she lowered her head again, thinking, where to go to target a woman who has not experienced much, looks like a good family, has money, and is not bad? Also, such a smart, beautiful and resourceful woman like her, what a pity to be a stepmother? Wouldn't it be better to find a man who has never been married and be a man directly?
Gao Changgong and his entourage slowly drove into Hangzhou City.
As he walked, Gao Hao suddenly said, "Uncle Cheng, you still send someone to find that guy and tell him that there is no Liji in this world." Well, you just tell him that I sent a man to pretend to be a man in order to disgust him. β
Hey, why did my little Langjun change his mind again?
Facing Shang Chengshi's gaze, Gao Hao stretched his waist, sighed, and said, "Didn't I find out, the means are also high and low!" Look at the woman just now, that method is really tsk, so careless. Hey, that guy is also the number one person, how can he be buried by a vain woman with his ambitions? Anyway, I want to get him back on his feet. Then let's do it again, and it can be called a men's battle! β
This was said in an atmospheric manner, and Cheng Shi couldn't help but applaud loudly. Just as the two were talking and laughing, there was a cheer in front of them. Gao Hao looked up and saw that it was a few boys and girls from the Alu family, who had already run towards them with a shout. The sun shone on their smiling faces. It is as brilliant as a spring flower.
?##3
I remember that year I still lived in a group dormitory, and one of my roommates told us very generously: her boyfriend was forced to be responsible after she found an opportunity to drug him. She also said that he wants to get rid of me now, how can it be so cheap? His family background is so good. I will be stalked, even if I am haunted by him, and I will not let him go even if I die together. Three days later, she announced her pregnancy and got a license with her boyfriend. (Of course.) She was not pregnant at all. That has a pregnancy certificate, which is bought for money. οΌ
When I was young, when I heard my roommate's declaration, I kept thinking to myself, will she be happy? Can she be happy?
But the roommate said to be honest, short, dark and fat, really not very good-looking, it seems that his family background is ordinary, maybe follow the normal road. She couldn't find a husband like that anyway, could she?
In fact, there are many such examples, and when I work in Guangdong, I can almost often hear and encounter them.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm despised.
Many times, when I see those stories about juniors, I think. Is there any difference between this kind of woman who uses deception and means to steal marriage and thus become a wife? To be honest, I'm a little confused about that.
As mentioned earlier, Zheng Yu in my book is taken from the second conjecture that King Lanling has no children, that is, after King Lanling did not touch her. When I set up the character of Zheng Yu, I fantasized about this character according to these women.
For example, when she first chose this husband, she had the ingredients of a childhood sweetheart, and she also knew that he was loyal and did not have the elbows and armpits of her elders. Then, when she was willing to marry him, it was because he was officially named the king of Lanling (otherwise, with Zheng Yu's means, he could force his family to agree and make this marriage contract when he was not yet crowned king. In this book, Gao Changgong was in his twenties before getting married, which is several years later than normal people. In those years, Zhang Qi never appeared, so what was Zheng Yu doing? It's just waiting for the price to sell. οΌ
It can be said that from beginning to end, Zheng Yu wanted to marry the king of Lanling, not Gao Changgong. If he had never been valued by the emperor, if he had always been a little person who was bullied by all the clans at will, then Zheng Yu and his childhood oath would have been a joke a long time ago. It can be said that what Zheng Yu and Gao Changgong said when they were young was more of a constraint on Gao Changgong, at the beginning, she was unintentional, and later it was intentional, it was she who knew Gao Changgong's loyal nature, and used a joke to leave a spare tire for herself.
It can be said that in my setting, Zheng Yu chose Gao Changgong, and more than eighty percent of them contain utilitarian elements. The remaining twenty percent may have the friendship he left behind when he was a child, and maybe there are some childhood sweethearts for so many years, and the affection left behind.
Then, I think that as far as psychology is concerned, after a woman chooses that man, no matter what her purpose is at the beginning, in the future, as long as she still thinks about it, she will subconsciously tell herself that she likes him and cares about him. Just like Zheng Yu later* Yu He Shikai, in the face of all kinds of humiliation and trampling by He Shikai, she had hatred in her heart, because she knew that she was powerless to resist, let alone retaliate, so she subconsciously forced herself to accept him and forced herself to forget this hatred. Therefore, in the book, Zheng Yu's feelings for Gao Changgong are deeper than what I said above.
Having said all this, I just want to say that in this book, I have three things I want to express, one is a question I asked myself a long time ago, can a marriage obtained through deception and mental tricks be happy? I don't think I'll be happy. (As for fabricating the role of Zhang Qi, it is I myself who I want the Lanling King to imagine that he can finally get a loving marriage, not the tragic hero in history, a tragic hero who has never experienced the bitterness and sweetness of love, never enjoyed the satisfaction and joy of a happy marriage, and never got the happiness of children and grandchildren around his knees in his short thirty-two years.) Of course, the premise of all this is that the historical King of Lanling had no children with his wife, the Zheng family, because he had not touched his wife much. οΌ
The second thing I want to express is to take a step back and open the sky.
The third thing I want to express is that none of us are perfect, we are scarred and flawed everywhere, so we are not qualified to expect our partner to be perfect like the gong wire that God has specially made for us, just to jam our every button.
Now that the book is officially over, perhaps it has a lot to offer. But it's over, isn't it? It's over, and the love story about King Lanling and a stunner that I imagined for myself is completely over. Now, what I need to do is leave it behind me completely, and then, move on to the next part of my journey. Friends, the beautiful story of another woman and man is about to set off, let's catch up together. (To be continued)
