"I will not forgive you for life and life, night and day!"

Sad words, unforgettable pain, who is it? So strange and yet so familiar.

The sky was dark, the black clouds were pressing down on the city, the torch was so bright that it made people dizzy, and the silent surroundings were getting closer and closer. The road in front of her had long since turned into a winding river of blood, and a suffocating pain came over her......

Huo Ran opened his eyes, Gu Changge looked around blankly, the maid on the side of the bed was already awake, opened the curtain and said, "Miss, are you awake?" ”

Gu Changge took a deep breath, rubbed his head and said, "Well, let them come in and make up." ”

The little girl walked out lightly, and Gu Changge was the only one in the exquisite bedroom. She got up slowly, got out of bed, looked at the peach blossoms in the courtyard outside the window, sighed softly for a long time.

Jiangnan Governor Gu's Mansion, the inner hall of the main courtyard.

"Master, you say this is ......," Mrs. Gu, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, Guo Shi said to her husband who was sitting on the upper seat with the letter in her hand a little anxiously.

Gu Qingsong waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, she will definitely be selected." ”

"That's a good thing to say, but now the emperor's temperament, even the elder brother is a little incomprehensible, you say, if you send Changge in, will it be self-defeating." Guo Shi was still a little uneasy.

Master Gu snorted coldly: "In a woman's opinion, if I wasn't sure, I wouldn't do it." Besides, God treats me Gu Qingsong so kindly, how can I ignore the will of God? ”

Although Mrs. Gu was not at ease after hearing this, she did not dare to refute her husband again. And Changge on the other side walked to the main courtyard with his maid ring after putting it on.

Gu Changge's eyebrows and eyes are beautiful, there is a rare heroic spirit in the dignified atmosphere, and a cinnabar mole between the eyebrows is even more cold and delicate.

"Miss, you went to Baohua Temple yesterday to ask your cousin and husband for their wishes, and the slave maid has made Banxia ready." The big girl said as she walked.

When Changge heard this, there was a trace of regret in his tone: "I know, let's go to my mother's."

Speaking of this Gu Changge's life experience, it is also a bit bumpy, three years ago, Gu Changge was unconscious by a small river fifty miles away from Shangjing, and he was rescued by the Gu couple who came to Beijing to do business, and only then did he pick up a life. But after waking up, Gu Changge forgot all about his past, fortunately, the Gu family and his wife loved Changge very much, and their deceased eldest daughter was somewhat similar to her, so they regarded Changge as a righteous daughter, no different from their own daughter. Just last year, Master Gu finally found Changge's biological couple, but unfortunately, they passed away three years ago. Although Changge is sad, he is helpless.

And the original eldest lady of the Gu family has rarely seen people since she was a child, and even the news of her death has never been told to anyone, so outsiders think that Changge is the eldest lady of the Gu family who was originally ill for a long time. And in order to avoid suspicion, Changge's biological parents are called cousins and cousins.

As soon as she entered the main courtyard gate, Guo's bridal maid Huan Zhou Mama smiled and said, "Miss is fine, the lord and the lady were still chatting just now, but it happened that you came over." ”

Changge took off his cloak and asked with a smile, "Father and mother are here?" ”

"Yes, please come over."

"Mother, father, daughter have come to you." As soon as Changge entered the door, he smiled at the two of them.

Master Gu smiled and nodded, there was a bit of incomprehension and suspicion in his eyes, and after calling a "long song", there was some guilt in his tone; "Changge, in three days, you will go to Beijing for the draft, and my father will not be able to stand you."

"Father"

Master Gu waved his hand and said; "Although I have only been father and daughter with you for three years, you are the same as my own in my heart. In this royal election, if it weren't for the fact that the daughters of officials above the fifth rank must participate, my father would not want you to go to the place where people eat. ”

"Father doesn't need to say much," Changge bowed forward, "Father and mother are as kind to their daughter, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid my daughter wouldn't be alive today." Besides, how can we, as courtiers, resist and disobey the royal decree! The daughter does not want her father to be embarrassed. ”

Guo wiped his tears and asked Mama Zhou to help Changge up; "Don't cry Ge'er, be careful to cool off on the ground, get up quickly."

Master Gu sighed: "I thought that I would definitely find a good family for you in the future, so that you can live a safe life." Who knows that the world is unpredictable, and it has to be like this. Now the emperor has only been on the throne for three years, but this harem is not peaceful, and you have such a look, family background, you must have a lot of rights and wrongs in the future. My son, you must protect yourself, be careful. ”

Changge nodded and comforted with tears: "Father and mother don't have to worry too much, daughter knows and must be cautious." Besides, don't you always say that your daughter is smart and wise? Father is relieved though. ”

Although Master Gu nodded, he also said with a worried face: "Good boy, I named Changge for my father because I hope that you will be happy and never worry-free." Now that you are about to enter the palace draft, my father does not ask you to earn any glory and wealth for the Gu family, I only wish my son peace in this life. ”

Changge was grateful, and said in a deep voice: "The daughter understands her father's hard work, if she is really favored by the Son of Heaven to enter the palace, then the daughter must be careful and will not deliberately take away the holy favor." Just ask for peace and keep the Gu family. ”

Master Gu's face was full of love, and he sighed again: "Your uncle's family is a famous family in Beijing, and you must listen to his teachings when you arrive in the capital." ”

Guo Shi interjected when he heard this: "Don't worry, Ge'er, your uncle's family is a very amiable person, and your aunt also knows a lot about the affairs in Beijing, so you just have to listen to her when the time comes." ”

Changge listened, nodded with tears, and then Master Gu spoke again: "The journey is difficult, can I think about who I want to bring to Beijing?" ”

"I've already thought about it, Yidong and Banxia are loyal to me, and they are cautious and cautious, so I can't go without their company this time." Changge lowered his head and replied.

Master Gu thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "That's the only way, you are tired today, just go back and rest." Your mother and I will do the rest. ”

Changge bowed his head and said, "The daughter will retire first, and the father and mother should also rest assured." ”

Master Gu looked at her lovingly: "Go, I'll let the kitchen make you your favorite hibiscus jade crispy chicken for my father later." ”

When Changge heard this, he bowed to Master Gu again before turning around and going out.

Gu Qingsong watched Changge gradually leave, then put away his fatherly appearance, turned to Mrs. Gu and said, "You asked Mama Zhou to send her over, by the way, has the matter been arranged on my brother's side?" ”

Mrs. Gu then nodded and said, "Don't worry, master, everything is arranged, but looking at Changge, it doesn't seem to want to compete for favor, so ......"

"Hey" Gu Qingsong interrupted her: "The wall has ears, this can't help her, you have to die if you don't fight in this harem, and besides, her appearance can't allow her not to fight!" ”

On the way back, Changge bowed his head and was silent. Although the Gu couple has cared for her in recent years, they have been meticulous in their daily life, and even the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are the best masters to teach her. But she understands that this relationship is more about her own selfishness and interests, Gu Lao Ye is quite deep in the city, how can she be satisfied with the position of a governor of Jiangnan.

I still remember that Mrs. Gu once said that her appearance is unmatched in Jiangnan, and perhaps only Miss Lin, who was beheaded by the whole house before, can compete with her.

Changge's heart sank slightly, looking at the gradually darkening sky, and shook his head self-deprecatingly. The road to the palace may have been doomed the moment Master Gu adopted him.

Three days later, in the early morning, the luggage and personnel were all ready, and the Gu family and his wife gave a detailed explanation to Changge before shedding tears to say goodbye. At a moment, Changge followed Yahuan and a few grandmothers to get on the boat and slowly sailed away from Jiangnan.

The boatmen of the Gu family are all carefully selected people who have a reliable life, and although Changge was a little seasick along the way, it was much better than originally expected.

In late spring and early summer, Changge and his party finally arrived in Shangjing. The boats on the dock were a little crowded, and Changge estimated that about eight or nine out of ten of them were show girls who entered Beijing this time, and just thinking about it, he heard Banxia say a little excitedly: "Miss, you see, this Beijing is really prosperous, although it is not as good as our Jiangnan Lingxiu, but it has a different taste." ”

When Changge heard this, he pursed his lips and smiled: "This has just arrived, you are so excited, you will get lost in the city later, I don't care." ”

"Miss knows how to make fun of the slave maid......" Before she could finish speaking, a quarrel came from outside the cabin.

"Banxia, go out and see what's going on?" Changge put away his smile and said.

Seeing Banxia walk out, Changge also walked out after tidying up his clothes and makeup.

It turned out that another ship had deliberately stepped in and wanted to get ashore first.

"You can open your eyes and see clearly, this is the ship of Liu Zhixin, the daughter of Lord Liu, the governor of Dongzhou, you had better retreat, otherwise you will look good!" A shrewd-looking girl said loudly.

Yi Dong heard that he was a little angry in his heart, and just as he wanted to speak, he was stopped by Changge raising his hand and said, "Let them go, we will go ashore in a while." ”

"Miss, it's clear that they were unreasonable in the first place," Edong said angrily.

Changge smiled and whispered: "It's our first time in Beijing, it's best to have less right and wrong, today is just a boat, it's nothing, let's go first." ”
