The bright skylight outside the window bypasses the densely entangled turquoise vines around the window, lightly sprinkles into the front of the hall, and is reflected on the pear wood floor in the hall. The color is hazy and very beautiful.The windows in the front and back rows of the house are all opened to let in the air in this midsummer. From time to time there is a draft blowing from outside the windows, which makes people feel refreshed and open their chests.

In the middle of the room there is a qin platform, on which is a large pear wood table, and on the table is a long qin with a green body and a phoenix-like tail.On the left side under the qin platform is another table made of pear blossom wood. On the table are several pots and plates, and there are several kinds of fresh fruits, all soaked in water and filled with ice cubes. So that the fruit is covered with cool air.There are two collection shelves on the right side below the piano platform, one is a bookcase, and the other is a display of some decorations. The furnishings are patchwork and look a bit elegant.

Right now, there is a man in a light green plain shirt sitting on the qin platform, with a slight smile on his face, his hands under the long sleeves are caressing the phoenix on the table, and he stretches out his hands to play the lingling qin. .The sound of the man's piano is crisp and smooth, and his fingertips keep moving, flowing down cheerfully like tinkling water, which is extraordinarily clear in this midsummer.

Tianguang, Wisteria, Changqin, Jiaren.

Gu Huaiyu sat on the table under the piano table, while listening to the sound of the piano, rolled up his sleeves, reached out and picked up a piece of honeydew melon soaked in ice with a stick, his long eyelashes turned slightly, and looked at the piano platform The man's eyes were full of doting light.

After a while, the sound of the piano came to an end, and the last sound slowly spread out in the room, falling crisply all over the floor.

Gu Huaiyu from the audience beckoned to the man slightly, with a gentle smile on his face: "Jia'er, come here, come here and I'll feed you melons."

Xue Jia smiled indulgently at Gu Huaiyu, walked directly off the piano platform, walked a few steps to Gu Huaiyu, knelt down slowly beside Gu Huaiyu, at this time Gu Huaiyu reached out to feed the piece of melon When it came to Xue Jia's lips, Xue Jia obediently opened her lips and bit down on the melon.

Gu Huaiyu looked at Xue Jia, stretched out his hand to put his shoulders in his arms, leaned over and kissed his lips, stuck his tongue in and licked them endlessly, and the smile in his eyes gradually became deeper.

five years.

It has been five full years since they were "buried" on the West Sea.

Five years ago, Gu Huaiyu was kidnapped by the pirates of the West Sea and taken to the Islands of the West Sea. Originally, he was anxious to find his husband, Xue Jia, who had disappeared at the time. Looking for someone, but I don't want to accidentally meet the person I want to find on the island.

After seeing Xue Jia, Gu Huaiyu's heart immediately fell into his chest, and naturally he was not in such a hurry to go back.It was the first time I saw Xue Jia on the island, Gu Huaiyu suddenly had a bold and aggressive idea.Now that he is on the West Sea, no one knows that he has actually been robbed to the West Sea Islands except for his dozen or so carefully selected personal attendants. Everything related to the fake identity, if he faked his death at sea, and then returned after the fake death, it would be equivalent to completely hiding his identity, which would be more convenient.The most important point is that if he did something that would harm the family, with this level of concealment, the young master Xiao would not be able to implicate him in the Gu family.

After that, he secretly concealed his identity and took Xue Jia back to Gu's house, explained the situation to Gu's father and Gu Huaiyuan, and spread rumors among the market, claiming that he had died in Xihai.So Father Gu feigned grief on the surface, and sent people to pretend to go to the West Sea to find people, but he cooperated with him in private, and transferred those people who belonged to him out of the family calmly.

But no one knew that there was no so-called third ship on the Xihai side to return the hostages.

In the following five years, the ups and downs of the world, the ups and downs of personnel, and the changes in personnel, seemed to disappear in a hurry like bright light and flowing water.

Although the Xue family was kind to Xue Jia in nurturing him, they used him to bully Xue Jia when he was young.

He had buried nails in Xue's house long ago, knowing that Xue Lu's narrow-mindedness will be rewarded, and that Xue Fu is greedy for drinking, gambling and spending too much, so he sent people to deliberately lure Xue Fu into and out of the gambling houses behind the secret door, and let people play tricks. Xue Fu won a few games and lured him in. Afterwards, Xue Fu lost more and more, his eyes were red from losing, and his mentality of a gambler caused trouble, so he borrowed money from the underground money houses behind the secret door to gamble, but in the end he became insolvent. He couldn't make up the hole by himself, and he was afraid that those thugs in the secret door would make trouble for him, so he told Mrs. Xue about the borrowing of money in private.Xue Fu owed a considerable amount of money, and Mrs. Xue was shocked when she heard this, so she had to dig out half of her dowry to cover the debt in private.

Unexpectedly, this matter was stabbed to Aunt Liu by someone he secretly buried. Aunt Liu thought she had Mrs. Xue's handle, and directly reported the matter to Xue Ren.Xue Ren's life is very different, one is rich, and the other is lustful. When he suddenly heard about this incident, he was really furious. Not only did he have a big attack on Xue Fu, but he also vented his anger on Mrs. Xue, which made her feel ashamed.

Mrs. Xue usually fights with Mrs. Liu in private, but Ms. Liu is also a person with a plan in mind. Over the years, she has been careful not to let Mrs. Xue take advantage of her. There will also be newcomers coming in, but the Liu family is still favored for many years, and Madam Xue has long been secretly hating her.After this incident broke out, Mrs. Xue hated Liu Shi even more, and even recruited Zheng Shi, who was Xue Ren's concubine, to try to deal with Liu Shi together.But before they could reach an important result, Xue Fu, after being locked up for a period of time, couldn't bear to lose his temper, and quietly went to the casino to gamble.Not only did Xue Fu not restrain himself this time, he gambled bigger and bigger, and finally lost more than half of the Xue family's property!

At this moment, something happened to Xue Lu again.Originally, Xue Ren donated a job to his son Xue Lu in Yuncheng. Xue Lu failed the exams repeatedly. Xue Ren wanted to find a future for him, but he didn't expect Xue Lu to offend the chief officer and was found by the chief officer. He was sent away for nothing, and the huge sum of money that Xue Ren spent on him was thrown away in vain.When this happened, Xue Ren was anxious and angry, but another son, Xue Fu, disappeared inexplicably.Xue Ren searched left and right and couldn't find anyone. When he was in a hurry, he was found by debt collectors. When Xue Ren heard the amount Xue Fu had lost, he fainted in a fit of anger.

What happened to Xue's family, Xue Ren couldn't sit still any longer. After thinking about it, he went to Gu's residence with a gift.Although Xue Jia, the married son of the Xue family, "has died", Xue Jia was not divorced from the Gu family before his "death", so he is still considered to be the Gu family, and the in-law relationship between the Gu and Xue families has not changed, so Xue Ren is cheeky Begging to come to the door to cry for poverty, I want to fight the autumn wind with the Gu family.Unexpectedly, Gu Zhongming didn't think about Xue Jia's face at all, he was friendly on the surface, but he never gave up in words, and he didn't give Master Xue the last copper coin.However, in Xue Ren's view, before Xue Jia "died", the Gu family would naturally show him some affection in the face of marrying his son, but now that they are gone, it is said that it was because Gu Er Shao went to sea on purpose. The search for talent made the two of them have such a hard time, it's good that the Gu family didn't kick him out directly.Xue Ren judged others by himself, but felt that this was normal.

It's just that most of the Xue family's in-laws are in the same family situation as the Xue family, and the Gu family is wealthy, even if they are unwilling to transfer money, let alone another family?Xue Ren knew the result without going to the door, so he simply didn't come to the door to lose face.It's just that the creditor was forcing him, and Xue Ren had no choice but to sell Mrs. Xue's dowry and most of the Xue family's property to pay off the debt.Originally, Xue Ren promised the Liu family that when he passed away, he would leave a good family property to the Liu family's son, but after this incident, the Xue family's family property shrunk greatly, and those who could distribute it to the Liu family's son were even more pitiful. .Liu's heart was full of hatred, and she whispered in Xue Ren's ear every opportunity, so as to stir up the little remaining husband and wife relationship between Xue Ren and Mrs. Xue.As a result, Xue Ren hated Mrs. Xue even more, and even hated Mrs. Zheng who was by Mrs. Xue's side.

Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Zheng fell out of favor one after another. Mrs. Xue's two sons were in constant trouble. One of them was missing and has not returned. Mrs. Xue's most beloved youngest daughter, Xue Yuelan, was still instigated by Mrs. Liu and did not follow Mrs. Xue's instructions. On the contrary, Xu Ren, who was optimistic, was given to a nouveau riche by Xue Renxu, asking for a large sum of dowry to redeem the land deeds of some shops Xue Ren had previously sold.With all these things piled up, Mrs. Xue could not wait to kill Liu Shi directly.

After Xue Yuelan got married, Mrs. Xue was at a standstill for a while. Just when Mrs. Liu was complacent and thought that she had finally gained the upper hand in the years of struggle, but she was fascinated by someone on the way to incense. Being caught by Mr. Xue having an affair with someone, he actually gave Mr. Xue a cuckold.Xue Ren was furious all of a sudden, and regardless of Liu's birth of a son, he directly sold Liu's house.

As a result, Liu's family was sold for less than two months, and the matter was revealed somehow.Some of Liu's former servants actually produced evidence, proving that Mrs. Xue bribed the staff and found a man to enter the temple to intentionally rape Liu in order to frame Liu.The Liu family has been in Xue's family for more than ten years, but only gave birth to one son to Xue Ren.The child was only ten years old at the time. When he found out about it, he knelt down in Xue Ren's study and kowtowed nine times to Xue Ren. He didn't say a word, but the meaning was obvious.

Xue Ren had already had a lot of dissatisfaction with Mrs. Xue before, and he was even more annoyed when he heard the truth, wishing to divorce Mrs. Xue directly.It's just that Mrs. Xue is his wife after all, and she has been in charge of the Xue family for more than [-] years. The concubine is involved in business. After all, Mrs. Liu is just an aunt. If it is sold, he can't really do anything to Mrs. Xue.In the end, he just reprimanded him and grounded him.

Xue Ren thought that the matter would end here, and no matter what, it couldn't be more chaotic.But he didn't expect that the youngest son Liu Shi gave birth to was separated from the family's servants in the crowd when he went out, and when he was found in the alley, he had already been beaten to the point of death.After Xue Ren spent a lot of money and finally rescued him, Xue Ren's youngest son told him that his second brother Xue Lu had bribed the gangsters on the street, deliberately got him into an alley and beat him severely. After a meal, it was to vent his anger on his mother.Although Xue Ren's youngest son was rescued after being beaten, he fell seriously ill after that, and his health was no longer as healthy as before.This incident severely touched Xue Ren's nerves.

At this moment, a young and beautiful concubine that Xue Ren had brought into the mansion in recent years suddenly found out the reason why she and many other concubines in the mansion were not pregnant—it turned out that Mrs. Xue secretly gave them these embarrassing things. All the aunts were drugged, and they all broke down, and they will never be able to conceive again.This is also the reason why Liu Shi has been favored for many years, but only gave birth to one son.

Xue Fu gambled and lost a large amount of family property, and then he fled to nowhere and disappeared; Xue Lu offended his boss and lost the donated officials, and even hired people to beat his younger brother; Someone put a green hat on him, and drugged his aunts to hinder his heirs!

Now Xue Ren didn't hesitate anymore, and directly wrote a letter to Madam Xue, asking Madam Xue to return to her natal family.

Just when Xue Ren was clamoring to divorce his wife, Xue Fu, who had not been hiding before, ran out and knelt down together with Xue Luji and Xue Yuelan who had heard about this and ran back to her natal home to beg Xue Ren. .But Xue Ren was determined this time, and he wanted to divorce his wife wholeheartedly. After leaving the divorce letter, he sent Mrs. Xue directly back to Tao Cheng's natal family.

In the few years that followed, Xue Fu and Xue Lu were even more reckless, wanting to spend all the money in the family, so that Master Xue would not leave all the money to his youngest son in the future.And Xue Yuelan who got married, although her husband's family status is not high, can't compare with a big family like Yuncheng Gu Yin, but Naihe is indeed rich, and she is married to the second son of the family, so there is no shortage of flowers in her hand He used to help the two brothers from time to time, which made Xue Fu and Xue Lu mess up the Xue family.Xue Ren was so angry that he almost had a headache, so he directly took tough measures to withhold the money of his two sons, and left them to fend for themselves. He only planned to raise the youngest son Liu left for him.

Afterwards, the life of the Xue family has always been chaotic. After all, Master Xue is also getting old, and it is impossible to save a large family business by working hard. He can only guard the few fixed shops in his hand and rent the land. , How can I not turn over.

Gu Huaiyu was very satisfied with the ending.

Since Mrs. Xue was divorced, he hasn't paid much attention to the news of Xue's family.Xue Jia seldom talked to him about the grievances she suffered in Xue's family when she was a child, but whenever she talked about it, she always had something to do with the struggle between the Xue family's wives and concubines, especially the time Xue Jia was insulted by Liu's brother, Obviously it was caused by Mrs. Xue and Liu's fight.Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Liu, one was divorced and the other was sold, and the final fate would never be so good, so Gu Huaiyu did not further get involved in these messy things of the Xue family.

As for the Gu Jiude family...

After Xue Jia's accident that year, Gu Zhongming drove their family out of the Gu residence.It's just that Gu Jiude had already started some business in Yuncheng, and after being kicked out of the Gu family, he simply bought a house outside and lived in it with his two daughters.

Gu Huaiyu sent people to spread rumors, saying that the youngest daughter of the Gu family branch from Fancheng, because she fell in love with the second young master of the Gu family, framed the husband of the second young master out of jealousy, and took over the husband of the Gu family by taking over the husband .Later, Gu Ershao managed to find his husband, but he didn't want to be buried at sea, so Master Gu took his anger out on this distant relative and drove their family out of Gu's residence.I didn't expect the matter to be here. It is said that the second girl Gu was thinking of looking for the second young master, and she was a little lost and crazy. She was afraid that she would never be able to marry in this life.

A girl's family, not only can be vicious enough to kill relatives because of jealousy, but also can't forget a dead married man. This is not infatuation for people who already have a bad impression of her, but they don't know Shame!However, the rumors in the market are spread with nose and eyes, and every one of them can be confirmed, so that those who are easy to criticize can't say anything suspicious.

For a daughter's family, ruining its reputation is equivalent to ruining half of it.Gu Huaiyu's move can be said to kill without blood.

Things after that were the same as in the previous life. Gu Jiude had no choice but to marry Gu Lianfang out in a hurry. He married a licensed merchant who was "carefully selected" by Gu Huaiyu. Afterwards, Gu Lianfang followed her husband's family to Jiangcheng. I never came back in my life.

As for Gu Huaiyu and Xue Jia, they have changed their names on the surface, one is Jing Xing and the other Wei Zelan.

The branch of the orchid, the leaf of the orchid.The high mountains stop, and the scenery stops.

The meaning of these two names together is...the orchid grass that grows on the high mountains, I always yearn for you.
