Chapter 186: Sharing Worries
Chapter 186: Sharing Worries
In front of the Royal Street, because of the rain, there are few pedestrians, and the tea house business on the street seems to be a little scarce.
"Childe, do you want to refill the water?" No mistakes, no word skipping. The shopkeeper came to the front table with a kettle.
Because it was close to noon, the teahouse was getting more and more empty, and only one person was sitting here.
Seeing that this eighteen or nineteen-year-old son is dressed like a poor family, he has been sitting for a long time, but he only ordered a pot of tea and a dish of dried fruits, which is not enough money, and the shop guy can hardly hide his impatience.
"No need." Gu Hai stood up, picked up the umbrella at the corner of the table, and threw a copper coin to the shopkeeper.
The guy at the "Xie Gongzi Reward" store suddenly smiled and bowed his hand.
Gu Hai stood under the eaves of the teahouse, once again looked at the majestic palace not far away, sighed softly, and walked into the rain with an umbrella.
Six or seven days have passed, and Gu Bainiang and Peng Yizhen still have no news.
The crown prince successfully ascended the throne, all the ceremonies have ended, and the normal court affairs have begun, will those two people be like mud cows entering the sea, and there will be no news from them since?
Gu Hai's footsteps couldn't help stopping, the left hand hanging by his side clenched tightly, he wanted to rush into the East Palace to ask the man, but he understood that the consequences of doing this would only be worse.
He couldn't do it either, so he endured the torment.
"Look for death" The galloping carriage passed through the street, splashing water.
Gu Hai came back to his senses, looked down at the muddy clothes, and moved to the side and walked slowly.
"Yes." A carriage pulled up beside him, and someone lifted the curtain to greet him.
Gu Hai turned his head and saw Gu Yu smiling at him.
Gu Hai nodded as a greeting, and then walked forward.
"It's rare that I'm in a good mood today, we haven't seen each other for a long time, sit together?" Gu Yu's carriage slowly followed.
"That's unfortunate, I'm in a bad mood today," Gu Hai waved his hand and said lightly.
The carriage did not follow, and after a few steps, suddenly there was another person beside him.
Gu Yu's height is much taller than before the separation, wearing a purple robe and a wide cloak, his originally handsome eyebrows and eyes have also grown, a little less gloomy, a little more heroic, and he didn't hold an umbrella in his hand, so he walked in the rain.
"I heard that the list of officials to be transferred is about to come out." Gu Yu asked.
"Then congratulations to the champion Gong for rising step by step." Gu Hai replied, glancing at Gu Yu, "Do you want to be together?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.
He shook the umbrella in his hand.
"Umbrellas." Gu Yu looked up at the oilcloth umbrella in Gu Hai's hand, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, "If it were someone else, I might use it, yours..."
Gu Hai sneered, and simply raised the umbrella to the other side.
"Oh, don't worry, I'm not doing this to you alone, I'll treat you equally." Gu Yu nodded and said with a smile.
"Don't you want the umbrella of the entire Gu family?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Gu Hai turned his head to look at him and asked with a smile, "Where do you live now?" This dress isn't cheap, is it? There are many words without mistakes, and the same Qipin County Order, could it be that you are much better than my Nanzhang? β
Gu Yu just smiled, raised his head slightly, and let the rain and mist sprinkle on his face.
"This umbrella...."He showed his fine white teeth, which made his smile a little chilly, and suddenly reached out on tiptoe, grabbed the umbrella in Gu Hai's hand, and used both hands hard, only to hear a tearing sound, and it was suddenly broken into two pieces.
"You stinky boy" Gu Hai frowned and glared at him, "I said that you are proud of the spring breeze now, whether you want to go crazy, how you want, don't bother me, I told you that I am not in the mood"
"Are you in the mood?" Gu Yu stopped, his face had long since lost his smile, and his eyes swept over Gu Hai with a bit of coldness, "You are qualified to say that you are not in a good mood in front of me?" A person like you is qualified to say this in front of a person like me? Oh, is it because a righteous gentleman like you has been repeatedly unjust? Is it because the sun is clear and there are no eyes? Is it because there is nothing to serve the country? β
Seeing that he suddenly became a little irritable, Gu Hai was a little inexplicable.
"What do you say?" He glared at him.
Gu Yu definitely glanced at him, regained his previous elegance, smiled, and shook his head, "Also, there is really nothing to say about you..."
A carriage came from a distance, and when he saw the two people standing in the middle of the road, the coachman couldn't help but shout at the top of his voice.
"There's something wrong," said the carriage, which passed dangerously from the side of the street, and the coachman threw down the sentence angrily.
This time, the two of them were wet with rain and muddy water, and they looked a little embarrassed.
"Where's your sister?" Gu Yuhu raised his eyebrows and asked, reaching out and stroking his chin, "In comparison, I still think she is much more interesting than you..."
Hearing him mention Gu Ba Niang, Gu Hai was even more irritable.
"Gu Yu, you take your Yangguan Road, let's cross our single-plank bridge, you are what kind of person, others don't know, we know, so it's best for everyone to be safe, hello and we are good." He said with plastic surgery, stretched out his hand and shook off his shirt, took a deep look at Gu Yu, and strode away.
"This guy seems to be really in a bad mood." Gu Yu looked at his distant back, said thoughtfully, and then a thick ridicule appeared, "It's really a blessing, take advantage of the time to be happier now, after a while, there will really be no time to be in a good mood..."
The carriage that had been slowly following behind him stepped forward cautiously at this time.
"Young master, come up quickly, I've suffered the wind and cold carefully..."The little guy said cautiously.
Gu Yu stretched out his hand to wipe the rain on his face, shook his cloak and got into the car.
"The young master is back" Lingbao ran over from under the eaves with an umbrella, looking at Gu Hai's soaked appearance and couldn't help but be startled, she remembered that the young master took the umbrella and went out, but she was well-behaved and already knew whether to ask or not, "Why did you come back in the rain?" You should also avoid it...."
"Shhhh Gu Hai made a gesture and pointed in the direction where the Cao clan was.
"Madame is in the Buddha Hall." Lingbao smiled, and hurriedly called the little maid to prepare hot water.
Cao's stay in the Buddhist hall is getting longer and longer, Gu Hai can't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart, Gu Ba Niang left suddenly, under the pretext that there is a noble person to ask for medicine, Cao Shi didn't ask too much after listening to it, these days, he never mentioned Gu Ba Niang's name.
There are only two situations when you don't care about one thing, one is not caring, and the other is knowing it.
Obviously, Cao belongs to the second case. From time on, my mother began to stand silently behind them, letting them go and go, without asking or talking, burying her worries deep in her heart, just to make them less involved.
Not only the two brothers and sisters, but everyone, is changing, changing step by step.
"Young Master?" Lingbao turned his head and called, a little puzzled by his sudden stop, "Go quickly, when Mrs. comes out and sees it, you should be anxious and worried again." β
"Okay." Gu Hai hid his sadness, smiled at her, and quickly followed.
Withdrawing from the maid, Gu Hai soaked in the bath bucket, the heat enveloped him, leaning on the edge of the barrel, Gu Hai closed his eyes and took a nap, and his mind couldn't help but reappear in Gu Yu's conversation.
The more I thought about it, the more strange it felt.
"What the hell is this guy thinking about again..."He couldn't help muttering to himself, "Could it be that it really wants to be detrimental to the Gu family?" β
Immediately shook his head again, Gu Shen'an was a member of the Gu family, and there was a financial backdrop of the He family, he Gu Yu was the champion again, and the saint was favored, it was not easy to shake this big tree, not to mention, as a member of the Gu family, he was deeply respected and loved by the He family, and he could not blatantly disadvantage the clansmen....
Gu Hai reached out and pressed his forehead, smiling bitterly.
"Young master, young master....." Lingbao's voice suddenly sounded outside, with a little uneasiness and hesitation, gently patting the window lattice.
"Huh?" Gu Hai reached out and picked up the bath towel.
"Young master, I'll send new clothes in...."Lingbao said suddenly.
Gu Hai couldn't help but be stunned, this little girl he has always treated as a sister, and Lingbao has always been polite, how could he suddenly say such inappropriate words?
Of course, it's normal for ordinary people to be served and washed by girls, but it shouldn't be Lingbao...
Before Gu Hai could say anything, the door had already been pushed open.
Gu Hai's surface was slightly heavy, and the sound of footsteps sounded, and the person had already turned the screen.
"Outβ" he couldn't help but snort as he lowered his eyes.
"Young Master." But it was a male voice in my ears.
Gu Hai was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and saw that it was Ling Yuan.
"You? What are you doing here? Gu Hai asked in surprise.
"Young Master..."The sound of Lingbao kneeling on the ground came from outside the screen.
"It's me who made my own opinion, I have something urgent to see the young master, please don't blame the young master." Ling Yuan knelt down on one knee and said.
Gu Hai exhaled, glanced at him, and then looked at himself.
"You're not going to talk to me like that, are you? No mistakes," he said with a wry smile.
He didn't mean to drive himself away, Ling Yuan was happy in his heart, and hurriedly stood up, "Young Master forgive me." "Withdrew.
Gu Hai stepped out of the bathtub, dried it three times and twice, and walked out wearing only his underwear.
"Get up." looked at Lingbao, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said in a low voice.
Lingbao responded, stood up, took the coat on the side and put it on him personally.
Gu Hai stretched out his hand and did not refuse, with her, it was to cover the appearance of Lingyuan.
"Things?" Gu Hai looked at Ling Yuan and asked, frowning slightly, "You... Didn't listen to me? Still doing that? β
Lingyuan lowered his eyes.
"Young Master, they still want Lord Yang to die...."He said in a low voice, his voice carrying suppressed anger, "It's already on the fold...."
This was expected, Gu Hai sighed softly.
"What do you have to do with Lord Yang?" He asked instead, a little curious.
Ling Yuan's face paused slightly, and he lowered his head and said, "I... Escort Lord Yang into Beijing..."
"Oh?" Gu Hai was even more curious, looked at him and smiled, "That's really strange...."
It's really strange, even Lingyuan himself can't tell why he would do such a strange thing.
"Lord Yang is a good man...," he said with some stumbling.
Gu Hai smiled, "Good person? As soon as he smiled, "Lord Liu Yan is not a good person?" Lord Zhou Shilong is not a good person? Aren't those old and weak women and children outside the West City Gate good people? β
These people have all lost their lives, and none of these people have slandered Zhu Chunming with words, not only themselves, but even their families have not escaped a wildfire.
Ling Yuan's expression was gloomy, he knelt down on one knee and didn't say a word, as Zhu Chunming's righteous son and one of the thirteen powerful minions of Lord Zhu of the Criminal Department, he had participated in all these things.
Seeing his brother kneeling, Lingbao also knelt down, bowing his head and wiping his tears.
Gu Hai's chest was undulating, and it took a long time to press the churning emotion.
"Get up, you don't get involved in these things anymore, get out of here, go...."He said slowly, "Good deeds can't make up for evil results, you can do it yourself." β
"Young Master, this time, they want to do this, or for..."Ling Yuan raised his head, lowered his voice and spit out two words, "Prince..."
βοΌβ Gu Hai was taken aback and asked repeatedly.
Ling Yuan whispered again, "I vaguely heard from the mouths of those people that this was the case, as for the details, I don't want to ask more..."
"Prince?" Gu Hai read these two words in his mouth, and couldn't help but sigh, as a seven-rank official from a remote county, and happened to his sister to encounter a difficult incident, he didn't know much about the recent affairs in the court.
"I see, I'll inquire carefully." He thought about it for a moment and understood what Ling Yuan meant, everyone knew that he Gu Hai was the one who could talk to the prince, at least on the surface.
Ling Yuan stood up with relief.
"Lingyuan." Gu Hai looked at him again with plastic surgery.
I haven't seen him for a long time, and the young man who used to follow his sister quietly has already changed.
Countless thoughts churned in his heart, only his burning eyes hurt, and he couldn't help but take a step forward and reach out to pat Ling Yuan's shoulder.
"Live well....", a thousand words came to his lips, but in the end it was this sentence.
Ling Yuan only felt that a fire in his heart instantly spread to his predecessor, only to feel that his nose was sour, arched his hand, and turned to go out.
Lingbao hurriedly opened the door, first looked left and right, and then beckoned.
Ling Yuan walked quickly towards the wall on the side, stopped when he came to the wall, and turned back with a little hesitation.
"Brother" Lingbao waved at him, a little anxious.
"Miss...."Ling Yuan's eyes unconsciously looked at the courtyard next door, his lips moved slightly, and he really wanted to see her....
"Brother" Lingbao stomped his feet under the porch.
Ling Yuan finally turned around, and was just about to turn over the wall when he heard a commotion outside.
"Young master, young master, young lady is back," two or three little maids shouted and ran in.
Hearing this, Lingbao couldn't care about Lingyuan, and turned around violently.
βοΌ Miss is back? She rushed out with her feet, and then looked at the people of the sea like arrows.
Why does it seem that Miss hasn't been home for a long time? A trace of doubt flashed in Ling Yuan's heart, and he secretly calculated to himself, if he hadn't seen Gu Bainiang for a long time, could it be...
He finally couldn't help it, walked short and wanted to go to the outer yard, three times around, flew up the tree, and saw the front yard boiling, and couldn't help but be shocked at a glance.
A soft sedan chair was carried in by four people, and Peng Yizhen's face beside him was as heavy as the bottom of a pot, and he urged the sedan chair to fly over this way.
Cao was carried by a servant woman in the back, and his face was like gold paper, and he was about to be soft on the ground.
The sedan chair passed under the tree, and it could be clearly seen that the girl was covered with a soft fox fur, with a pale face and closed eyes.
Ling Yuan only felt that his hands and feet were cold, but he could only watch in a daze as everyone gathered in a soft sedan chair and walked towards Gu Ba Niang's bedroom.
At this time, Gu Yu had already finished washing, changed into new clothes and sat in the study, listening to what Gu Shen'an said when he returned from the next dynasty.
"So, many people want the prince to decide the life and death of Yang Taisheng?" Gu Yu turned the teacup and said.
Gu Shen'an nodded, "This is a hot potato..."He took a sip of tea lightly, rubbing his forehead, "This is the one..."He stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Zhu Chunming's mansion, "I'm going to force the prince to make a statement..."
Whether it is the Zhu Party or the anti-Zhu Party, this move is extremely menacing and vicious.
"The prince is worried..."Gu Shen'an leaned back in his chair and sighed softly.
Gu Yu looked down at the teacup, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
This is a well-known truth, and the staff of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince naturally also know that a group of people gathered together at once, scolded the Qing Party and the Zhu Party, and immediately came to the East Palace, but was blocked by the chamberlain and invited to sit in the side hall.
"The prince is tired, take a nap, please wait." Huang Neishou said with a smile.
After all, it was the beginning of recovering from a serious illness, and the staff who knew the inside story immediately understood, and a few words appeased other people who didn't know the inside story.
"Your Highness?" Huang Neishou gently walked into the dormitory, carefully called a few times, and did not answer, then crossed the layers of curtains and entered, there was no prince on the bed, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then thought, looking at the compartment on the side.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Princeβ" he called out a slight increase in his voice.
After a while, I heard a faint voice from the compartment.
"What?"
With the voice, the prince in plain brocade clothes walked out slowly.
"Your Highness, there is an adult surnamed Gu, please see you." Huang Neishou bowed down and whispered.
"Gu?" King Wenjun's slender eyes lit up slightly.
"Gu Yu Gu Cunzhi..."Huang Nei hurriedly corrected what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was thinking.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat down on the bed and did not speak.
"Something is wrong with him?" King Wenjun said slowly.
He said. Huang Neishou stepped forward in small steps, "He said that he can share the worries of His Highness." β
"Oh?" King Wenjun gently stroked the drooping brocade ribbon, and his expression did not move, "Worried about loneliness?" β¦ What's the worry about loneliness? β
Huang Neishou bowed down and didn't dare to make a sound.
It seemed that it was a long time before I heard the prince's light voice floating from his head.
"Xuan."
Huang Neishou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, hurriedly withdrew, walked out of the door, reached out and quietly pinched a large amount of silver ticket in his sleeve.
This kid is really lucky, not only rich, but also has a good surname.
"Grandpa." The small attendants standing on the side saluted respectfully in unison.
Huang Neishou straightened his clothes, raised his head and said a sigh of gratitude, and walked slowly towards the palace gate with a whisk in his hand, and saw a splendid boy in a gorgeous costume standing in a distance.
Seeing him approach, the Splendid Boy turned around and saluted Huang Nei.
"Master Gu, please." Huang Neishou said with a smile.
"Thank you, sir." Gu Yu raised his head and said with a slight smile.
Looking at the palace in front of him, although it was not as good as the palace, it was still shocking, Gu Yu took a deep breath and walked calmly.
