Gao Ziang really wanted to accompany Wan Ning, but he should return to Gao Mansion before Zi Shi. Because this is the family rule of the Gao family. For this house rule, he didn't think much about it at first, just obediently followed it. It was only later that he began to understand its significance.

Most of the large and small green buildings in the capital are closed at the time of the child, and at this time, those who should go go and those who should stay stay. If Zishi does not return to Gaofu, he may have to spend time in the Qinglou, which will inevitably violate the family rules and serve the family law.

The Gao family restricts the activities of their children and grandchildren through this family rule, and it is obvious that they are not allowed to wander in the Qinglou.

However, if Gao Ziang is willing to accompany Wanning, he will not care about any family law or not.

It's just that there is another important reason why he has to go back to Gaofu at this time, he doesn't want anyone to think that he is spending the night here in Wanning. This will damage her reputation and increase the amount of talk on the streets.

Wan Ning, who hadn't spoken for a long time, was a little lost in her tone: "Brother, you should leave again." ”

Gao Ziang was silent, and stayed quietly for a long time before getting up and tidying up his clothes.

"The clothes you were wearing earlier were soaked in the rain, so let's change to another one."

"Okay, listen to my sister."

When Wanning is idle, she will make some clothes for Gao Ziang by herself to facilitate his change.

"My sister's clothes fit so well." Gao Ziang praised.

Wan Ning listened to his praise with a slight smile on her face.

The man in front of him was heroic, facing the bright moonlight, and he stood there gracefully. Wan Ning gradually became melancholy, lying quietly on the bed, as if there were tears in her eyes.

Gao Ziang saw all this. He walked over and helped her up: "Sister Wan, what's wrong with you?" Reluctant? ”

Wan Ning hugged his waist tightly and snuggled up to him, making him unable to move, let alone leave. Gao Ziang is outstanding in riding and archery, and his arms and shoulders are particularly strong, which makes people feel very secure.

He felt sorry for Wanning, but he still had to whisper: "I also want to accompany you." But Sister Wan, it's nothing for me to receive some family law, the important thing is you, sister, if you want outsiders to know that I'm spending the night here-"

Wan Ning's jade fingers covered his lips: "I understand that my brother is completely thinking about me." ”

"It's enough that you're willing to stay with me, and I'll take care of the rest, huh? Sister, don't be afraid, there are all my subordinates outside, guarding the house all night. ”

"But no one can compare to you."

He kept hugging Wanning tightly until she calmed down, and then slowly let go: "You have a good rest, I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you tomorrow, I'll come over a little earlier." ”

Wan Ning nodded reluctantly: "Also, you have to promise to accompany me every day." ”

"Okay, I'll come every day." After speaking, an extremely gentle kiss was imprinted on her forehead comfortingly.

The glitz fades, and people are lonelier than the candle flame in front of them. Wan Ning didn't dare to look at his back as he left, and when she heard the door being carefully closed, she couldn't help but shed a few tears.

Wan Ning felt that she really loved him. Although being a concubine is really not what I want, I never thought of being my brother's concubine. If my father is here, I will definitely not let myself be a concubine. However, what can be done in the face of the powerful Gao family?

She thought, in fact, there is no need to be too pessimistic, the future is long, maybe you can have both love and dignity. As long as the period of filial piety expires, the Gao family can still marry themselves in a beautiful manner.

Get a good night's sleep, and tell your father about your decision tomorrow.

Gao Ziang knew that she would feel lonely at this time, and as soon as he walked out of the house, he called Xiao Feiyan over and talked to her. Xiao Feiyan entered the house and saw the master sleeping there quietly, with no expression on his face.

She added oil to the lamp, closed all the windows, laid out the futon on the couch next to Wanning's bed, and everything was cleaned up before she fell asleep.

She whispered, "Miss Wan, when the slave maid closed the window, she found that the orchid by the window had bloomed!" ”

Wan Ning looked at the window, and the orchid that she usually took care of was really blooming. You can smell the faint fragrance from such a distance, and its flowers are extraordinarily gorgeous and look so intense. A smile appeared on Wanning's face, which showed that she usually looked forward to the blooming of orchids.

Xiao Feiyan knew her very well, and saying this was still a thing that made her happy to draw Wanning's attention elsewhere.

"Miss, it's a good sign that the orchid is in full bloom! The meaning of the happy event. It's night again, and the sun isn't shining, and it's still blooming so brightly. It can be seen that the good deeds of the young lady are effortless. I know you miss the young master very much now, and he will be here soon tomorrow. Tonight you will stay with the slave and maid for one night. ”

Wan Ning knew her intentions: "Sister Yan, thank you." ”

When Gao Ziang walked into the courtyard, he could see a few of his subordinates sporadically, he stood up, and the others saw that the master seemed to have an order, and they all surrounded him. He commanded sharply: "All of you must protect the good lady!" ”

"Obey, young master!"

After that, he turned his head sideways and instructed Yi'er: "Yi'er, send more people to watch the night." ”

"Yes, young master, Yi'er will go."

The air that had just rained was exceptionally fresh. During the walk, the mood is very comfortable.

When Gao Ziang and Yi'er returned to Gaofu, the house was still brightly lit at night.

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he met a subordinate coming over: "Young master, you are finally back, the master has been waiting for you in the main hall, he called you over." He didn't expect his father to rest so late, and in surprise, he walked towards the main hall while pondering how to explain his late return.

When he came to the main hall, he stood in front of his father and shouted in a low voice, "Father." ”

Gao Junming saw his gaze wandering, and his expression was radiant. "My son is really getting more and more personable, and he must have attracted the love of many women."

"Father, you are laughing, how can your son be the prodigal son who sleeps in the willows! Because the heavy rain blocked the way, I waited outside for a while. ”

Gao Junming also knows that his son is not a person who lingers in Flower Street and Willow Lane to have fun, and he doesn't seem to be overindulgent at the moment. But he judged from experience that the suave son in front of him was indeed moved by his sincerity and befriended the woman. This person is most likely Wanning.

"If you really have a favorite woman, it is not impossible to marry back and be a concubine, and it is more immoral to do nonsense outside. Men stand up to the sky, and when they put their family and country first, their children's love will also be broken by their manliness all day long. Don't come back with a romantic debt and delay your future! ”

Gao Junming didn't ask if he was with Wanning, of course he understood that it was about a woman's name.

Wan Ning explained that she should not tell her father first, and it would damage her reputation if she talked about her at this time, so she simply replied: "Yes, my son obeys his father's teachings." It was the son's fault that the father was worried late at night. Father, you rest early, and my son is back in the room. ”

The son didn't mention Wanning at all, and his answer made Gao Junming even more sure that this person was Wanning, and he was protecting her.
