Both prosperous and destructive, these words made Gu Yu, who raised his fist, slightly stunned.
"I actually want to get involved with you shit..." He suddenly laughed and put another fist mark on Gu Hai's face.
Gu Shiba Niang's porcelain bottle took the opportunity to hit him on the head.
Gu Yu groaned and fell off Gu Hai.
"Eighteenth Mother, stop fighting..." Gu Hai said.
"I'm sorry you can't beat the two of us..." Gu Shiba Niang looked at Gu Yu who was lying next to Gu Hai, hummed and dropped the porcelain bottle.
After the fight just now, both of them seemed to be tired. Neither of them got up from lying on the ground, nor did they continue to shake fists at each other.
The afterglow of the setting sun casts its light on the two of them through the begonia window lattice, carving out a pattern of shadows.
"It's really unreasonable, Mr. Zhuangyuan..." Gu Hai said with a bitter smile, touching his neck with his hand and letting out a hissing sound, "I don't blame you for not saving me, but you beat me up... "
This kid was really cruel. He turned around to look at Gu Yu and saw that he was actually seriously injured, with blood spreading from his shoulder.
"You piece of shit..." He muttered to himself, his narrow eyes closed slightly, a sneer appeared on his lips, and he suddenly stood up with his hands on the ground.
"You bullshits don't even think about trapping me..." He said with a puff of sleeves, laughed a few times, and strode away.
"….Sweep and burn. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. It’s clean…"
The laughter quickly disappeared outside the door
Gu Shiba Niang helped Gu Hai get up and looked at the door that was thrown open with a solemn expression.
"I see he doesn't just hate us..." she whispered.
The meaning of what he just said was that he clearly wanted to unite his family and perish. This idea was so bold and arrogant.
Lowly people can't do without the protection of their clan, while people with high power still can't do without the protection of their clan. The former is for survival, and the latter is for virtue, and virtue is also the basis of survival for these people. .
"He has already suffered a loss because of this, is it possible that he is still obsessed with it?" Gu Hai rubbed his burning face and frowned.
The brother and sister looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
"I still don't understand where his jealousy towards us comes from..." Gu Hai shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"He guessed..." Gu Shiba Niang said with a frown.
Gu Hai raised his hand and shook his head to interrupt her, "No, I don't think that's the case..."
As he spoke, he walked to the table and sat down. Gu Shiba Niang helped him untangle his messy hair and comb it again.
"...according to what you said outside my uncle's door that day, he was angry because he noticed that I had some weird skills that led to my achievements today. Shiba Niang, I am the master of enlightenment, and you have become a pharmacist. To outsiders, it seems like... Our life is indeed good, but for Gu Yu, is this worthy of envy and hatred?" Gu Hai continued, looking at the bronze mirror as Gu Shiba Niang tied up his hair.
Gu Shiba Niang took the cotton wool and wiped his wound carefully while nodding.
"With the support of his third grandma, he has jumped above the clan..." she said and couldn't help but smile, "...don't talk about anything else, just talking about money, even if my sister and I sell medicine for a few years, I can't compare with what he will get." assets…”
"Money is an external possession, how can this be compared?" Gu Hai said with a smile, because the medicinal wine stung, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
"Ask Mr. Peng to come and take a look?" Gu Shiba Niang asked worriedly.
"It's okay, it's just some skin trauma. Gu's thin arms and legs can't hurt me." Gu Hai shook his head and stood up, "Let's talk about it..."
At this point, he spread his hands and asked, "Do we still need to compare?"
One is the head of the state capital, and the other is the head of the country.
"What's more, he is self-taught, but I was enlightened by my father. I have been studying at the academy since I was a child..." Gu Hai reached out and took the new coat handed over by Gu Shiba Niang and said with a smile. "To be jealous, I should be jealous of him..."
Gu Shiba Niang nodded thoughtfully. As for Gu Yu's hostility towards them, she had always thought about rebirth and changing her destiny. Gu Hai had to understand Yuan. However, given all the performances, Gu Yu didn't know As for her rebirth, this hostility is somewhat inexplicable.
"I'm not afraid of him, it's just that this guy..." Gu Hai stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead, "It's really a headache..."
The place he went to this time was remote, and he didn't know when he would come back. He didn't say anything, but he really couldn't let go of his mother and himself.
Gu Shiba Niang understood what he was thinking, smiled slightly, and took his hand.
"Brother, how come you have become less courageous after being in prison in the Ministry of Punishment?" She laughed.
When he was in jail, his mother and sister suffered the most. He also knew that it was his sister who ran around begging for help from Prince Wen, and that finally turned the matter into a minor matter.
What Gu Shiba Niang meant was that she was not even afraid of such a big thing as him going to jail, but she would still be afraid of Gu Yu.
"Eighteen Mother, do you blame me?" He held his sister's hand with a trace of guilt on his face.
Gu Shiba Niang shook her head, "Brother did the right thing, how could I blame him..." she said with a smile, "I just feel sorry for my brother... I'm not afraid at all. I think if you can't save my brother, In fact, it’s nothing. My mother and I found a rope and hung ourselves to death, but our family is still happy..."
Gu Hai's eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Eighteen Niang..." He was about to say something but ended up choked with sobs. He just held his sister's hand tightly with his hand.
After a moment, he tried to resolve the somewhat heavy atmosphere, forced a smile and said, "Actually, I didn't suffer any punishment in prison..."
Gu Shiba Niang knew what her brother was thinking, so she asked with a smile, "Oh? It's not like the prison is like the Palace of Hell, with all kinds of punishments that no one can imagine..."
"Indeed, I actually saw it at that time..." Gu Hai said with a smile, looking at Gu Shiba Niang's obviously nervous expression, "But, unfortunately, I only got a slap in the face..."
He suddenly stopped here and frowned, as if he thought of something.
"What?" Gu Shiba Niang asked.
"I think maybe Prince Wen helped me a long time ago..." Gu Hai said after a moment of thought.
"How do you say that?" Gu Shiba Niang was also a little surprised.
"That time I got hit..." Gu Hai recalled, laughing at himself, "Actually, I really couldn't bear it..." He picked up the words and said, fearing that Gu Shiba Niang would feel uncomfortable, "...I was about to faint. , I vaguely saw a man rushing in and stopping the execution... Later, I was only scolded and reprimanded, but never beaten again... And several other classmates... Shiba Niang, you also saw it... "
Gu Shiba Niang was silent. On the day she took Gu Hai out of prison, Gu Hai walked out, but the other three Jinshi were all carried out. One of them was already full of energy and was less likely to come out. Looking at it, No more.
"...So, King Wen sent people to guard the prison, so my brother was spared from torture?" Gu Shiba Niang said, if this is the case, then she seems to have a petty heart to get into the prince's belly.
"I don't know, that person came again later..." Gu Hai recalled, "...but, I couldn't see his appearance clearly..."
"No matter what, we should go thank Prince Wen..." Gu Shiba Niang said.
Gu Hai nodded. He raised his head and looked outside the door. The afterglow of the setting sun was swallowed up by the night. Thinking of this incident, he felt mixed emotions in his heart. He thought of being hooked to the death penalty and drinking poisonous wine with the permission of the emperor for the sake of dignity. Li, the great scholar, could not help clenching his fists.
Could it be that God is blind and does not take away these thieves? Instead, he takes away good ministers. Where is the law of heaven? Where is the law of heaven...
A bright blue light suddenly flashed by, and Gu Hai thought he was dazzled. For a moment, he saw the door frame shaking.
Is this God telling him to talk nonsense
"The ground is moving!" Gu Shiba Niang screamed, pushed Gu Hai, and the brother and sister rushed out of the house.
At this moment, the entire capital city felt the earthquake.
Prince Wenjun sat in front of the desk, holding a pen in his hand. As the ground shook, ink spilled onto the snow-white paper.
There were screams and shouts outside the door, and the guards and eunuchs rushed in. At this moment, the ground stopped shaking, and except for the panicked people, everything seemed normal.
"County... Your Majesty..." The attendants knelt on the ground and asked him to go to a safe place immediately.
"Your Majesty... the earth is shaking..." The middle-aged man who is also a counselor and teacher looked even more excited. He grabbed Prince Wen's sleeve rudely for the first time, and his hands kept shaking.
"Yes." King Wenjun put down his pen and said calmly, the candlelight casting a shadow on his face.
"Then...then go and get away..." the middle-aged man whispered.
"What should I avoid..." King Wenjun seemed to smile and picked up the pen again, "Why don't you go see if that kid is dead? If he is not dead, what can I avoid? If he is dead, then I There is nothing to avoid….
At the end of May, an earthquake occurred in Shinshu, located in Anxi Province. Countless houses collapsed and nearly 10,000 people were killed and injured. For Zhou, who had just found a moment of peace, it was really a major event that damaged his vitality. Officials from North Korea and China canceled all vacations and devoted all their efforts to disaster relief. , and the date for Gu Hai's appointment has also been advanced.
Outside the city, Gu Hai was surrounded by countless people. They were talking and laughing and saying goodbye one by one. They drank countless glasses of wine and received countless farewell poems. It wasn't until everyone was tipsy and sat or lying on the spot that Gu Hai was able to talk to Gu Shiba Niang. .
The person who picked up Mr. Cao was still on the way, so he was destined not to see his son.
"When brother's place is settled, my mother and I will go there." Gu Shiniang knew that Gu Hai was feeling sad, so she comforted him with a smile.
Because the place where he was going to take the post was located on the perimeter of Dajin and Dajin, and life was not peaceful, Gu Hai rejected Gu Shiba Niang’s suggestion to take his mother with him to take the post. After repeated persuasion, he agreed that they would follow him after a while.
"Sister, please accept my respect on behalf of my mother." Gu Hai lifted his clothes and knelt down.
"My son is unfilial..."
"My son worries my mother..."
"My son makes my mother afraid..."
He kowtowed three times solemnly, raised his face, and burst into tears.
Gu Shiba Niang, who had already burst into tears, stretched out her hand to help Gu Hai, and the brother and sister wiped their tears and said goodbye.
In the other direction, a lonely carriage was driving slowly on the official road. The summer wind penetrated the thin gauze of the carriage and lifted the curtains on both sides, revealing Gu Yu's porcelain-white face inside.
There were a few bruises on his face, but they did not ruin the overall beauty. Instead, they made him less feminine and more heroic.
The laughter and laughter coming from the wind, as well as the farewell song sung by the singer, made it even more obvious that Gu Yu was alone and chatting alone.
Ever since the news of his being released as a county magistrate spread, the scene of all the stars applauding the moon has gone forever, and there is no news about the big banquets or small invitations. Instead, people can only watch the excitement with cynicism and gloating.
But for Gu Yu, this kind of worldly behavior has been a daily routine for him for more than ten years, and it doesn't bother him at all.
This is how the world is. If you are good, everyone will praise you and want to go out of their way to treat you. But if you are bad, they will want everyone to add insult to injury and trample you into mud. It seems that only in this way can they vent their praise for you. The suppressed envy when I look at you.
"Yu'er, as the saying goes, good fortune lies in the presence of misfortune, and misfortune lies in the presence of good fortune. What happened to Brother Hai illustrates this point. Now he has become a role model for Qingliu and has received countless praises. And you..." Gu Shen'an's words echoed. In his ears, that sigh carried a bit of helplessness and a bit of disappointment, "However, it is still the same sentence. It is a blessing that depends on it. You are young, and it is not a good thing to stand up too fast and too high. , now I just put it down and work hard on the ground, the future may not be certain..."
Yes, Gu Yu is not over here, everything has just begun, Gu Hai, just wait and see, these people... just wait and see.
Gu Yu raised the curtain of the carriage, raised the long whip in his hand, and hit the horse with a snap. The horse started to start with a startled sound. In the gentle summer wind, the dark green tulle carriage walked alone towards one side. The figure of the young man in the carriage was resolute and free.
Gu Hai's figure has been invisible for a long time, and the scholars and scholars who saw him off have also dispersed. Gu Shiba Niang is still standing under the willow tree, staring.
Several muffled thunders passed across the sky, and raindrops fell.
Lingbao stood beside her holding an umbrella, looking at the direction Gu Hai was going away with a look of sadness on his face.
"It's better for me to go with the young master..." she murmured.
Gu Shiba Niang came back to her senses, looked at her and smiled, "When we find Lingyuan, we will go together, everyone."
Lingbao knew how considerate she was and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Miss, can I find my brother?" she asked Gu Shiba Niang with a pious look on her face.
Gu Shiba Niang was a little confused by her expression, but she still nodded solemnly, "Yes, I can definitely do it."
Lingbao smiled like a blooming summer flower.
"Miss said it can be done," she said, as if she were putting down a huge boulder, with a relaxed look on her face.
Gu Shiba Niang burst into laughter, "Did I say it so bluntly..." When the words came to her lips, she hurriedly swallowed them for fear of spoiling Lingbao's mood.
Lingbao didn't care, and nodded firmly, "That's right, miss. Miss said Lingbao is lucky. Lingbao is indeed lucky, otherwise he wouldn't have met miss. Miss said the young master must be fine. Master Sure enough, everything turned out to be a good thing and everything went smoothly. Now the lady says that Lingbao will definitely be able to find his brother, which means he will definitely be able to..."
Gu Shiba Niang didn't know what to say, so she could only laugh and say nothing.
"Let's go back and buy a better house. When mother comes, we can pack it up and live in peace." She smiled and turned around while holding Lingbao's hand.
She has decided not to return to Jiankang. Firstly, she feels bad for her family. Secondly, she wants to repay Wang Yiyi for his help. Thirdly, she wants to see the world in the capital. It will be one year since she formally paid homage to Mr. Liu. Well, she can't always hide and not interact with the world. Wouldn't it be an insult to Liu Gong's reputation
"Okay." Lingbao was also very happy. She raised her head and saw the young lady's smile condensed on her face. Looking along the young lady's line of sight, she saw a carriage approaching in the rain and mist, and a middle-aged man was dancing. Come down.
"Ms. Gu, please take a step to speak." He strode over and said with a serious expression.
