Xuzhou, which had just been sunny for one day, pressed down the clouds again the next day, and the air was humid and rainy.

The carriage was parked at the corner of the street, and Yufu, dressed in civilian clothes, walked around the street absentmindedly, glancing at the signboard everywhere. After walking for a while, I finally saw that not far away, there was a plaque hanging on the eaves of the store, and there were three big characters on it: Yiqinghe.

She hesitated for a moment, looked back at the two hussar guards and Ah Jing who were following closely, and walked straight into the house at hand.

"What are you going to buy?" Ah Jing saw her casually flipping through the rouge gouache, and said timidly, "I have learned to dye my nails with impatiens before, if Madam likes it, I will help you try it when I go back." ”

"Okay, I really haven't dyed dancôme, it must look good." Yufu looked up and smiled, "You'll try it for me tomorrow." ”

Ah Jinghong's face showed joy, and he nodded vigorously.

After a roundabout walk through two or three shops, seeing that there was a teahouse opposite, Yu Fu considered and said to the two hussars: "Wait a minute, I'm going to see the fabric, it will take a while, do you want to go to the teahouse and wait first?" ”

"Madam, you see, it is the duty of the lady to protect the lady, and she does not dare to be idle." The taller guard immediately gave up.

Yu Fu thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "I want to see the close-fitting clothes, you follow, it's really a little ......"

"This!" The two guards looked at each other, and suddenly became uncomfortable, and one of them touched the reddened ear and whispered, "Or will we wait for you at the door?" ”

"What can happen in broad daylight, and Ah Jing. In short, you are here, and I always ......" Yu Fu pretended to be embarrassed.

The tall guard hurriedly lowered his head: "It's a humble, the two of my subordinates will wait on the other side, and we will come over after the lady finishes buying." ”

Sending away the two tails, Yu Fu took Ah Jing to look left and right, and took a step closer in the direction of Yiqinghe. When it was almost there, Yu Fu suddenly touched his body: "Ah Jing, the purse I was carrying seems to be missing, and it was obviously still there when I got out of the car." ”

"I just fell on the road!" Ah Jing was stunned for a moment, more anxious than Yufu, "What color?" Why don't you sit in the store, madam, and I'll go back and help you find it first. ”

"It's okay, then I'll be waiting for you in Yiqinghe, just take a look at the material and clothes first." In the middle of Yufu's heart, she nodded with a smile, "The purse is lotus, you don't have to worry, I'll take a look." ”

Ah Jing hurriedly turned around, and finally left Gu Yufu alone, she glanced at the signboard, and walked quickly towards Yiqinghe.

There weren't many customers in the shop, and when a few guys saw her come in, they all gathered around her attentively.

Yu Fu didn't see the old man around, and hurriedly asked: "Excuse me, I'm looking for someone, may I ask if there is a person named Gu Rugui or Gu Yufeng in your store." ”

"There are no two of them, only a new one has come to help the account, but his surname is Gu, are you looking for him?" When the guy saw that he was not a guest, the smile on his face turned cold, "It's not enough for one to come and two to escape, and we are not here to do charity." ”

"I'm his sister, please take me to him." Yufu said earnestly.

"Gu Da, Gu Da! Your sister is here, and she will entertain herself. The man shouted impatiently upstairs, "Hurry up, don't delay your work." ”

Yu Fu's heart was up and down, and after a while, she saw a familiar figure coming down from the second floor. He was thinner than he had been three months ago, his eyebrows were grim, and he saw a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and he did not see the joy of reunion after a long absence.

"Brother......" Yu Fu wrung her fingers and shouted worriedly.

"Yufu, how dare you!" Gu Rugui had a calm face, and walked down the stairs step by step, "Now you are not what you used to be, in the realm of the Ming Kingdom, do I have to kneel down now and kowtow to you first?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yu Fu hurriedly stepped forward and held his arm with both hands, "Where's Daddy?" Are they good? How's Daddy's leg! ”

"Dad heard that you ......" Gu Rugui glanced at the guys next to him, looked at him this way, and immediately lowered his voice, "Dad is crazy." This is not the place to talk, you come with me. ”

"Okay." Yu Fu nodded, thought for a while, and said, "But I have to explain it to the store, otherwise they will find it later, and I will be in a hurry if they can't find it." ”

"Who?" Gu Rugui asked.

"My guard......" Yufu said embarrassedly.

Gu Rugui's face changed, and with a sigh, Yu Fu had no choice but to say to his buddy: "Little brother, if someone looks for me later, please tell them not to worry, I will go to the back warehouse to look at the materials, and I will come back in a while." ”

"Where is there a warehouse, you liar!" The guy glanced at the golden hairpin on Yu Fu's head, and said angrily, "Dressed like a dog, the brother and sister didn't tell the truth." ”

Gu Rugui held his breath and walked to the back door of the shop, and Gu Yufu hurriedly followed.

"Brother, how did you know that I was here?" As soon as he went out, Yu Fu asked anxiously.

"Aren't we looking for you?" Gu Rugui didn't reply, "As soon as Anqing said goodbye, you will be gone, and after settling down, I began to ask around, until half a month ago, Cui Heng wrote a letter saying that you are in Xuzhou, let us take you back and marry him as soon as possible." ”

"Cui Heng? Half a month ago? Yu Fu didn't know why, she felt a little strange in her heart, but before she could figure out what was wrong, she listened to Gu Rugui and said: "But who would have thought that after so many years, you still followed Yang Shao." ”

Gu Rugui chattered, walked all the way along the alley at the back door, and soon took Yu Fu to a small courtyard.

The courtyard was quite dilapidated, with a pile of broken baskets and other miscellaneous items, low eaves crumbling, and a window, the size of a palm, with only a narrow door open in the middle.

"This is where I am staying for the time being." There was no one around, Gu Rugui pushed the door in, "Naturally, it can't compare to the Gaomen compound of your regent palace." ”

"Can you, stop sarcastically telling me like this!" Yu Fu followed into the house, the faint musty smell in the air made her suddenly a little sour, she covered her mouth and endured it for a moment before she restrained the urge to vomit.

"Can't stand it after a few sarcasm?" Gu Rugui's face turned pale, and he picked up the rattan from the desk, "Gu Yufu, you kneel down for me first!" ”

Yu Fu knew that this must be what her father meant, so she walked into the room in silence, and knelt upright without saying a word.

Gu Rugui closed the door first, and then walked to her side and said coldly: "Gu Yufu!" Dad asked me to ask him how he taught you in the past! ”

"Daddy's teachings, all the children and grandchildren of the Gu family, should learn from Lu Gong to serve the country with a hundred deaths, and take loyalty to the monarch as the primary criterion." Yu Fu closed his eyes, and immediately fell a hard blow on his back, Gu Rugui said angrily: "It turns out that you still know!" Dad asked me again, my father and mother raised you as an adult, and you eloped with someone for the love of men and women, did you start this family? ”

"My father and mother gave birth to me and raised me, I don't listen to them, it's... It was Yu Fu's disobedience and unfilial piety, and she was ashamed of her parents. The tip of Yufu's nose was sour, and tears were already in her eyes.

The rattan fell on his back a lot more lightly, and Gu Rugui's voice was choked: "Dad finally told me to take you home no matter what." If you refuse to leave, you will be beaten or scolded, and you will be kidnapped and taken away. ”

"Brother!" Yu Fu's heart hurt like a knife, but it was not just for her father's decision, "I can't go with you!" I promised Brother Shao that I would accompany him for the rest of my life. ”

"Brother Shao, Brother Shao! Yang Shao has poured you ecstasy soup! Gu Rugui was annoyed and ashamed, and rattan rained down on Gu Yufu's back, "Do you know that he is a sinner of the Dayong Dynasty!" If it weren't for him, how could Anqing break the city, and how could you be sold? The innocent daughter suffered this great shame, and you still have the face to follow him! He's also a strange person, so he still wants to marry you! ”

"Brother, you know, I've always liked him since I was a child, and after so many years, I haven't liked a second person!" Yufu began to whimper, tears flowing down uncontrollably, "He was covered in blood and hugged me, begging me not to go, he could have had better, he ...... Brother Shao really loves me! He's really been looking for me for ten years, he's been waiting for me, he..."

"Can you believe a man's nonsense!" Gu Rugui hated that iron could not become steel, and waved a rattan and scolded angrily, "What is he waiting for you!" He even dared to get involved in Shen Yanzong's harem, and he had a bad reputation for lewdness and debauchery, so he could be called waiting for you? ”

"That's all a rumor! Brother Shao has never had anyone else, and he and I are both reluctant to talk to others...... He doesn't want others to give him beauties, he just keeps being like that, stupidly waiting for me......" Yu Fu's tearful face gradually turned red, and she raised her head with a twist, just when she saw Gu Rugui dumbfounded.

"Really, no one else ......" Yu Fuergen was hot, and it took a long time to hear Gu Rugui sneer: "That's really two stinky fools, a pair of dementia." ”

"Brother, don't scold him, okay?" Yu Fu saw that his face was a little softened, and the corners of his mouth couldn't even hide a smile, and couldn't help but say for Yang Shao again, "Brother Shao is really good to me, and everything is for my sake." And you see, I am married to my father at home and my husband when I am married......"

"You call it elopement, not marriage." Gu Rugui hurriedly lowered his face again, "I should go and break Yang Shao's leg!" ”

Yu Fu retracted his head and said cautiously: "But I have been by his side these days, and through my own witnesses, I am very sure that Brother Shao is not an anti-minister and thief as my father thought, and he is the regent ......of the Ming Dynasty."

"What else can it be if it's not a thief!" When Gu Rugui heard this, he really gritted his teeth with hatred, "The one who is the king and the hegemon can only show that he is the biggest thief!" ”

"Brother! The war has been fought for almost ten years, and if it continues like this, Shenzhou will be devastated and devastated, and there is no one in the world who does not expect to end this war as soon as possible! Gu Yufu straightened her posture, she had thousands of heartfelt words in her heart, and the more she spoke, the more anxious she became, "The court is declining, it is really because the saint is stupid and incompetent, but Brother Shao is different, he is in adversity and his heart is bright, he can calm the four seas and return the world to a clear day!" The sage said that if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world ......"

Gu Rugui snapped off Yu Fu, and completely cooled her voice: "You're really dizzy...... Dayong blocked Yang Shao, how many people died! General Guan, General Yue, and the second prince were all captured by Yang Shao, you, Gu Yufu, for your own selfish feelings, how can you be worthy... Those Da Yong'er Lang who died in battle! ”

"Brother, I have already decided on the right and wrong, and now I have also taken on the responsibility of the regent princess, I want to work with Brother Shao to end this troubled world." Gu Yufu stood up and said categorically, "I have my father's teachings, and when the world is peaceful, I will go back to kowtow to his old man and admit his mistakes, but now, I can't go with you!" ”

"Gu Yufu, you! You're going to my brother to death! Gu Rugui was so anxious to grab her wrist, "You are not allowed to go, I can't let you make mistakes again and again!" ”

Yu Fu broke free and quickly ran towards the door, only to find that he couldn't push it open at all.

"Me!" Gu Rugui was also stunned, "I didn't lock the door." ”

"No, this door is locked from the outside." Gu Yufu looked through the crack in the door and immediately found that there was a heavy lock outside.

"It's... This! Gu Rugui's mouth opened into a circle, sniffed his nose and said, "Is it ...... Seems to smell of smoke? ”

"Not good!" Yufu's pupils dilated instantly.

Through the crack in the door, she saw three masked men standing outside, holding torches in their hands, lighting up sundries and igniting the small courtyard.
