[Comprehensive] Happy to be a father

Time passed by so unhurriedly.

The three-year imperial examination also ended amidst a lot of excitement.A few days after the exam, the big and small gold lists were released. After Chuanlu called the names, the Minister of Rites presented the list to the middle gate of Taihe, and then hung it on the wall outside the palace gate.

Gu Xichao is on the list.

Ranked among the top three.Once famous, the world knows, although this is a bit exaggerated, but it is a very vivid description of the influence of the imperial examination on a person's life.

As Gu Xichao has been living in Su Mansion in recent years, it is also full of joyful atmosphere. Su Zhemu also specially recruited Gu Xichao and asked him how he planned to write the letter to announce the good news that he was going to send back to Gannan County.

"It's been a long time since we've been separated," Su Zhemu sat on the chair in the lobby, touched his beard under his chin with a smile, and said kindly: "It's time to go back and have a look, since you've already been able to go so well." You should also let your adoptive father celebrate with you, so as to live up to his intention of bringing you out in the first place."

"Unexpectedly, Uncle Su also knew about my affairs back then," Gu Xi said with a wry smile on his face, "It's a pity that I struggled with it for many years before, and I have been guessing whether this matter will be concealed..."

"Only the person concerned will toss and turn and brood over the personal matters," Su Zhemu taught carefully, "If I mentioned your life experience before today, I am afraid that no matter what, you will feel turmoil in your heart, and even more so." Before, you still haven't escaped from the shadow of the past, and talking about it will only aggravate your mind, and it will not help it."

It has to be said that although Su Ye did not help Gu Xichao in his growth process, this is also related to his personal personality. His temperament is not those who can be taught and taught, but he is For Gu Xichao, he chose Su Zhemu, an elder in the process of growing up, which is probably another luck for Gu Xichao after he was taken out of the Spring Wind Pavilion.

Gu Xichao solemnly saluted the old man, thanking him for his care and teaching over the years, and then he straightened up, with a smile on his face, and said, "Uncle Su, don't worry about writing letter……"

Su Zhemu stopped the hand that was stroking his beard, and he asked with a puzzled face, "But there is still something missing?"

"Xi Chao also got the news the day before yesterday," Gu Xi Chao said with joy, "Actually, foster father had already set off a long time ago, preparing to come to the capital, and when he arrives, we will You can also go to pay a visit in person, so that you can fulfill your responsibilities as an heir."

Speaking of this, Gu Xichao's young and handsome face appeared in Gu Xichao's memory, and the smile on his face also paused slightly, but soon he continued to smile.

"Oh, that's it." Su Zhemu became even happier, and he laughed loudly: "It should be so, it should be so!"

After all the hustle and bustle of the day was over, Gu Xichao declined all the invitations sent over, and he walked alone to the bank of the river at night, following the way the man in Tsing Yi narrated that day, he found a certain fixed place. Booths, leaving a way to meet.

"What do you want to do?" At midnight, someone stood by his bed and asked softly.

Gu Xichao collected his alarmed mind, he had not fallen asleep, he was waiting for the arrival of the person in the red building whom he had contacted, but the appearance of the visitor still made him who had been on guard all along. Surprised.

He collected himself, pretended to be calm and said: "I want to make two orders for the Red Chamber."

The visitor was silent for a moment, and Gu Xichao felt that his gaze on him was as cold as without temperature. He couldn't help but start to wonder what kind of people were in the red building, and what kind of people were in the red building? To what extent.

"I think you should know," the person who only showed a shadow said coldly, "This is the method of communication used by the people in the assessment."

"Yes," Gu Xichao replied, "but you didn't point me to another method of contacting you. I'm still not a member of the Red Chamber, so can't I come to trade with you as a customer? "

"...Then who do you want to kill?" Soi Ying didn't continue to entangle on this topic, he just asked very coldly and simply.

Gu Xichao lowered his brows, and he sighed softly: "Originally, I wanted to personally take care of their lives on the way back, but, since the adoptive father has already come out of that small county, then I actually want to take care of them." There is no need to go back."

His brows and eyes exposed under the moonlight were stained with a frost-like coolness. He raised his eyes lightly, and his smile was as clear and shallow as water: "Although my foster father once told me, don't worry about my previous depression." Tired, these words are of course reasonable, and I will definitely do what he said. But this point is not contradictory to what I am doing now, and I am not disturbed by the past, but it does not mean that I will let the past Everything is forgotten, and among them, there are always some people and some things, when I look back on the past, it is like a fish stalk in my throat, which is difficult to relax."

"...you just need to name the target." The shadow man said very coldly.

"...the old bustard in the Spring Breeze Pavilion," Gu Xichao withdrew his emotions, and also replied very coldly: "I don't know if she has retired from the pavilion, the flower name you are looking for should be called 'Que Ling'; there is another woman who used to be in that brothel, but later married the prefect son and went to Yongzhou, the name she used before should be 'Cuizhu'."

"Are they just two ordinary people?" Sombra said business-like: "You can use the lowest-ranked cheats in the rivers and lakes as bargaining chips, but it must be the part that we haven't collected before. You can also use a We will pay for cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings of other values, we will evaluate them according to their connotations, and after that, gold and silver will be the lowest.”

"I see." Gu Xichao replied.

……

"Where is this place?" In the darkness, someone entered this underground prison with a lamp. The man in white who came to meet him didn't come down once after that, but he still clearly remembered what he said to him.

That conversation was remembered over and over again in his chaotic mind, it was okay when he was awake, but whenever he went crazy, the meaning in it made him burst into anger every time he recalled it , more irritable than ever.

"Someone would think that I, Guan Qi, are not strong enough?!"

"He actually said that I'm not enough, not enough!! Come on, let's fight!" The sound of chains resounded through the ground, and the roar of fury shook the eardrums of the visitor, causing him to sigh again.

"Who is it?" Guan Qi suddenly said coldly, his sobriety and confusion were always showing no sign during this time.His eyes were as sharp as light, almost able to pierce the darkness.

The visitor took two steps forward.

"It's you." Guan Qi quickly lost interest in the other party, he has already recognized that the person who came was the one who came to besiege with Lei Shan the previous time, even though he had used it on him at that time. He was very curious about the hidden ability, but when he met the real granter, he immediately forgot his interest in the former.

"This is the Red Mansion," but Yu He didn't mind this. Holding the red lantern, he took a few steps forward again, exposing himself to Guan Qi's sight, "My lord let me come Visiting you, I don't know what kind of needs you have, Mr. Guan, please tell me."

"Let him come to see me." Guan Qi said.

"You know this is impossible," Yu He laughed: "When you have not reached the level required by an adult, you are completely useless to him."

"What a cruel speech," Guan Qi said with clear eyes, and he said sarcastically, "Or, do you think you will always be useful to him?"

Yu He laughed: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Guan is also well versed in the art of sowing discord. But I am different from you."

"Let me think about it," Yu He said, "How should I persuade you, so that you can do your best to become stronger as the adults hope..."

Guan Qi suddenly felt that his words were ridiculous, so he laughed, his laughter was like thunder rolling, shocking everything.

But Yu He still said to himself: "I don't know if Master Guan has ever thought about why those ordinary people would kneel in front of clay statues of gods and Buddhas, make up gods to believe in, and pray day and night?"

"Because of ignorance." Guan Qi said coldly.

"Indeed," Yu He agreed, "I thought so too at that time."

"It's just," he sighed again, as if expressing the arrogance he had a long time ago, he said humbly: "It was only later that I discovered that people have their own limits."

"Whether it's me or you, Guan Qi," he no longer called him Lord Guan, he stared into the other's dark eyes and said, "Everyone has their own limits, and these limits can be innate or Acquired. Like me, I have both restrictions, and if you are Guan Qi, then it is more innate, that is, the world, the world, the universe, the existence of many titles, the restrictions imposed on you , because that is also their own limitation.”

"What do you want to say?" Guan Qi said solemnly.

This is more like a random conversation between two lunatics, and among them, it seems that Yu He is even crazier.

"We are all just a small part of this world," Yu He said to himself, "but like the pinnacle of martial arts, the 'Tao' and 'the other side' described by Buddhism and Taoism, these The mysterious and mysterious existence of the unknown, even if I look up to the sky, I can't see a trace of their tails left behind, but when I think of this, I suddenly begin to understand those people who kneel in front of the statues of gods and Buddhas."

"Because I'm just as ignorant." He stated this conclusion very clearly.

"So what?" Guan Qi said coldly.

"That's why I want to follow behind the lord," Yu He said naturally: "Because I can't see the limits of the lord, so I want to attach his tail, want to follow behind, and see what he showed me. A higher level of light, this is the meaning of my future existence."

"You explain this to me," Guan Qi's complexion became even worse, and his tone became even colder: "Just to use your ridiculous thoughts to show me how much you love your lord Are you loyal?"

"Of course not," Yu He shook his head, and said with a kind face: "I just want to explain to you that no matter what the adults want you to do, it can't be that simple. If you can really do it, Then it is very likely that you can also see more other things, and among them, what you get will not necessarily be bad. What's more, Guan Qi, you can really refuse the direction of making yourself stronger faster Is it? Or, the reason why you are so angry is because of being persecuted..."

Yu He hesitated and said, "Suppress the bull's head so it doesn't drink water?"

Guan Qi's face was already blue, and he was angry, he shouted sharply: "Then let him come down!"

"Let him show it to me," Guan Qi said loudly, "See if what he can uncover is really more chaotic than what I know?!"

"Forget it, get out of the way." Another indifferent voice sounded in the darkness.

And at this moment, Guan Qi saw that Yu He was looking at him full of pity and admiration, he lowered his head, and slowly moved away from his figure, and behind him, it was Su Ye who was exposed. Wearing a white shirt.

"Although every sentence is sincere, the subordinate still failed to persuade," Yu He apologized: "It is Yu He's incompetence to disappoint the adults."

Even Guan Qi was inexplicably shocked. He opened his mouth, but he didn't say a few words until the end... But we all know that the question he wants to ask most will definitely be: "Where is your face?" !!!”

But he still didn't yell out, he just regained his seriousness and asked every word like a spike: "What are you going to use me for?"

"Is this the reason why you have been rejecting the martial arts resources I sent in all this time?" Su Ye said lightly.

"I'd rather fall into Lei Shan's hands," Guan Qi said in a cold tone, "It's better than fall into your hands."

It's not because of Su Ye's attitude, nor is it because of the treatment he has been imprisoned here. This place that will heal his wounds is already much better.

But he felt an unprecedented danger.

From the body of the Lord of the Red Mansion.

"I thought what you should be able to do," Su Ye said calmly, "is to accept all the things given to you, and then let yourself reach a limit, and wait for an opportunity to break free from this prison."

"No," Guan Qi said quietly, "I can't do this, don't forget, I'm a lunatic."

"Since I was injured in the head because of that time, and I became obsessed with practicing kung fu," Guan Qi said: "This period of time is the most time I have been awake. It is probably your existence that threatens me. I have no choice but to save myself because of my own survival.”
