Clam Pearl

Gu Zhao went home and slept soundly for three days. After waking up, he started to prepare. As for Gu Maobing, he might have been frightened these few days. When he came back that day, he was taken to the secret room by Gu Yan. I heard something, but the next day I had diarrhea. After I finished my diarrhea, I developed a high fever, and I haven't recovered yet.

Speaking of it, it is understandable that whoever hears such a secret is not afraid, the old Gu family is now making a fake of the emperor's family, a fake from heaven, such a thing, it is good not to be scared to death.

This morning, Gu Zhao changed into light clothes and took Xizai, Xinzai and Fu Ji to the market. He wanted to find some good dyes. The painter came to teach Fu Ji painting at home.

All of a sudden, Fu Ji's social status jumped up, and now everyone in his family called him Fu Shaoye, so Fu Ji was really terrified and dared not go out easily.

Mr. Ding Jiu, on the other hand, is liking him more and more. Who doesn't like a good apprentice who is clever and thorough, and draws inferences from one instance.

"Qiye, don't dare to bother about Fu Ji anymore. If this happens again, even if Fu Ji dies, he won't be able to repay Qiye's great kindness." With tears in his eyes, Fu Ji watched sitting there, bowl after bowl Gu Zhao, who looks at the color system.

Gu Zhao raised his head: "Well, not only you need to use it, but I also want to learn these things recently, and I'm too bored in my daily life, I always have to find something to pass the weather, don't think too much, how much you can use, you see, I bought a bunch of them."

Gu Zhao pointed at his feet, big jars, small boxes, all over the floor. In the end, he had too many choices, so he had to send Xizai and Fu Ji to send them back. Gu Zhao went to the teahouse opposite the dye shop by himself. son wait.

Just as Gu Zhaocai sat down, the shopkeeper offered him a cup without waiting for him to ask. He poured out one, blinked his eyes at him, and smacked his mouth at the table. Gu Zhao lowered his head and saw two water characters on the table.

"Go upstairs."

Looking around to see if there was no one there, Gu Zhao drank half of the glass with a look of satisfaction, then slowly stood up, went into the stairs behind the counter, and walked up the stairs.

Upstairs there was still a servant dressed as a shopkeeper, he didn't speak, just lowered his head and let him into a room inside the stairs and closed the door behind his back.

Gu Zhao entered the room and looked around. This room was originally a elegant room, with mats, a table, and a small charcoal fire. The water in the copper stove on the fire had been boiling for a long time, and it was boiling and bubbling up and down.Inside the house, there is a picture scroll of plum, orchid, chrysanthemum and bamboo hanging on the wall, and there are some people who are resting. After walking a few steps to the window, you can see the street below through the crack of the window.

Gu Zhao looked down, wondering in his heart, the door rang slowly behind him, someone came in, and then closed the door, Gu Zhao turned his head, like a lightning strike.

Ah Run was wearing a light blue long Confucian shirt, straw sandals, and a black tulle square scarf. He was looking at him solemnly. It had been a long time since I saw him. He had lost a lot of weight, but he was still so good-looking. He hesitated. With a thousand words, he wanted to say a lot, probably because he had never bowed his head to anyone in his life, so he stood there blankly, just looked at Gu Zhao foolishly, only excited, and didn't know what to do.

"It's you!" Gu Zhao smiled.

Ah Run nodded, walked up to Gu Zhao, stretched out his hand to hug him, but was afraid of rejecting him.

Gu Zhao felt that he would not refuse, but felt that Ah Run was thinking too much.

The two sat down together, Ah Run wanted to pour water for Gu Zhao, but spilled some water.

"Prince Yi took so much trouble to call me here and didn't speak, but why? Oh, I see, you have a ghost in your heart and dare not see me!" Gu Zhao picked up the teacup and smelled it. He didn't like it very much, so he took the tea Put it down.

"Azhao, are you angry?" Ah Run asked.

Gu Zhao took a long breath: "How can you not be angry? It's been so long, don't you know what I am? If you have something to do, just tell me directly, for fear that I will turn around and sell you? You fake How much is a monk worth? Who am I? You underestimated me, and you underestimated me."

Ah Run looked apologetic, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that if you find out, you will get farther and farther away from me." After finishing speaking, there was a trace of sarcasm on his face. So far away and never see you again?

Gu Zhao nodded resolutely: "Yes! If I knew it earlier, I would definitely not want to know you. What am I? The sand in my mouth, I can’t spit out the sand in my mouth, so I can only swallow it with a smile.”

Ah Run stretched out his hand to hold Gu Zhao's hand: "I always feel sorry for you, so don't be angry."

Gu Zhao sighed: "That's right, you are sorry for me. Now that I'm on the boat, I can't get off! But...you hurt me, but I can't hate you. This is the most uncomfortable thing. You are so cruel! Forced into such a field, they won’t give me the slightest retreat... I asked them, yes! It’s not easy for you, you have reasons, you have a thousand explanations! I can’t tell you what’s wrong with each of them, I I can only swallow it! I also know that the matter between you and your brother, to put it bluntly, isn’t it the chair?”

Ah Run shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "I was born in the royal family, I can't help myself, but... now I can't help it, but... I drag Ah Zhao in, I don't regret it, even if I die, I don't want to go alone."

Gu Zhao took his hand out and wanted to slap the table and say something harsh, but he didn't dare, for fear of alarming someone, so he had to bear it, bear it, calm down his tone, and then slowly raised his thumbs up and twisted hard. A ferocious smile sneered: "Okay, you are ruthless! Ah Run, you and your brother, I only know you. If I had to choose, I would rather he died. Anyway, he has never done anything in my house. Good thing. He is the smoothest at crossing rivers and demolishing bridges. He treats my brother badly, so I hate him.

If I were you, I would earn too. If you don't fight, you will die. I don't want Ah Run to die.However, if I fight, I will not drag the person I cherish the most into the water. This is the difference between me and you. "

Ah Run wanted to explain, but Gu Zhao stopped him.

"Arun, you have been told since you were a child that you are the sun, we all owe your family, it is a blessing to serve your family, it is an honor to die for your family, you are born to influence the fate of others, oh, son of heaven Well, descendants of the Son of Heaven, your family always speaks with the promise of heaven, what a big tone! We are just common people, life and death, wealth and honor are just the emperor's tricks your family is used to playing, your family is used to tricks, In the eyes of your family, everything in the world is just chess pieces?"

Ah Run was dumbfounded, looking at Gu Zhao, what he said seemed to be right, but also seemed wrong, shouldn't it be like this?He murmured, "Isn't it... like this?"

Gu Zhao was furious: "Of course not! Forget it, I won't explain it to you, and I can't explain it clearly. Anyway, you are crooked, and I have no ability to correct you. Therefore, what you want to do is up to you." You don’t need to think about this, you are such a person, until now you don’t feel that you are wrong, this is the biggest difference between you and me, I know you may feel a little bit guilty, even if you think about it, if one day you Sitting in that position, what must be done, why is it not right for me?"

Ah Run nodded very positively: "Yes, as long as I have, I can share with you, including... the world."

Gu Zhao looked up at the sky, speechless, and could only mutter and complain: "Ah, I knew it! Ah, should I lie on the ground and shout long live three times! It must be so, your piece Broken place, there are problems everywhere, a group of blind people on the left, a bunch of hooligans living in the mountains, a group of robbers squatting out of the city, I don’t know where there is a group of robbers, the emperor’s house has no food left, why do you want to come? Share with me, it’s good to say now , I am afraid that in the future, they will definitely use righteousness to suppress me, I believe you are to blame."

Ah Run's hand tightly grasped the cup: "He is a worthless person, and he has ruled my father's country with many holes. He is comfortable alone, but the poor people are the people of Liming in this world! Annoyed! Hateful!"

Ah Run was annoyed there, and Gu Zhao continued to complain: "Ah, but what can I do, I have thought of a thousand ways, but I can't solve these things. Well, since that's the case, you can do it if you want Yes, I found out after you did it. You are harmful. After I knew it, I was very panicked and scared. I was afraid that because I was alone, my brother’s house would be dragged out one by one. Unclear nephews and men and women, because my seventh grandpa was killed and sold, and I will not be pardoned for life. Yes, you may think that I should not hate you, but understand you the most if you give me so much in the future. Yes! You didn't feel sorry for me, you were sorry for the people behind me, my relatives, as for me..."

Gu Zhao looked at A Run, and A Run looked at him too. Gu Zhao's liver trembled, so he had to look up at the roof: "What can I do, A Run...I'm a fool, a fool likes A Run, I hope A Run can be at ease. The fool likes Ah Run, and hopes that Ah Run can be free, and go wherever he wants to go. The fool likes to see Ah Run laugh, and likes that Ah Run goes to see plum blossoms every winter behind his back.

What should a fool do?In the past, the idiot thought he was capable and believed that he could give Ah Run the best life, but now the idiot understands, the idiot wants to live a life where only the idiot and A Run are together, but you don't believe in the idiot, do you?Ah Run wants that chair, otherwise, Ah Run...will die, right? "

Ah Run opened his mouth and nodded: "Yes! That was originally mine! And... Azhao, don't be like this, I have never been so hesitant to anyone in my life. It has been a few months, and I miss you every day. I am afraid that you will never come back. I am not afraid of my brother. He is just a reckless man. There is nothing to be afraid of, because he is older than me and has the military power in his hands. If I was born a few years earlier, I will not be able to take that position. He, he is a crippled person..."

Gu Zhao sighed: "What's wrong with the disability? Ah, yes! The emperor cannot be disabled. If you say that, I still feel sorry for him. He is blind, so I will give him the position as a consolation prize."

Ah Run couldn't laugh or cry, Ah Zhao's thoughts were always so weird, so he had no choice but to say: "The emperor's body is not good enough, I am the biggest obstacle for the prince in this world, and the emperor will definitely help the prince before he dies." Except for me, his son would not be able to sit in that position at all. If it wasn't for the mother's hindrance, I'm afraid I wouldn't live long. In order to meet today, they have planned for a month before they have the opportunity to quietly send me down the mountain. At that time, Yi Hui also advised me that the overall situation is the most important thing, but if I don't make it clear to Ah Zhao, I feel... I will really feel sorry for you."

Gu Zhao smiled, forget it, who told me that I was older than him, who told me to keep trying to push him down, forget it, forget it... whoever said that the above is asking for cheap, there is no advantage at all, and you will suffer.

Forget it, forget it, your own people have to pamper you, otherwise you are still called a man?Figured it out, Gu Zhao stretched out his hand, gently touched Ah Run's callused fingers from years of copying scriptures, and sighed: "Ah, I knew that old guy was not a good monk. He doesn't talk because he knows too many secrets. Sure enough, I was right, what is a crow's mouth, this is what I have on my face! But... I am very happy that you came to see me."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and smiled: "Well, therefore, I also have something to say to you, even if you don't come, I will go. However, I am very happy that Ah Run is here, really, very happy. I think, I still hold a lot of weight in your heart, although it has always been... I like Ah Run, more than Ah Run likes me."

"It's not like that." Arun said.

Gu Zhao stopped him: "After I finish speaking, time is running out, and you can't leave for too long. Ah Run, go earn it, go grab it! Go get it! Go grab it! Take back what should be yours, what should be You are not allowed to give up anything that belongs to you! You have to take it back, and you have to fight with all your strength. Don’t be afraid of anything despicable and shameless. If you win, you are right. If you die, you will have nothing!"

This way of thinking of extreme jumps, poor His Royal Highness Yi Wang seriously cannot accept: "Huh?"

Gu Zhao ignored him, and continued on his own: "Ah Run, if I have to choose, I want you to live, and I want you to live well, how can you live so aggrieved, so, I like you to be comfortable Now live the life you want, although that kind of life is very tiring, if you want... then go grab it. Go your way! Tell those donkeys and horses to talk! If you are happy, I will be happy, this That's what I want to say. Now that we have started, there is no way out, so grab it!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Zhao took out the pouch under his neck, poured out a seal of the Mermaid and handed it to him: "This seal is worth 200 million coins. This is my coffin book. You can take it. If it succeeds, those Those who don’t support you throw money at them, those who don’t listen throw money at them, and those who don’t accept throw money at him, there is no door in this world that money can’t open!”

Ah Run was stunned, he didn't expect that Gu Zhao would say that and told him to grab it!to fight!

"Why? I thought you were going to persuade me..." Ah Run's throat was dry.

"Advise you? I'm stupid, I advise you, what can I do with a monk? Why? Because I finally fell in love with someone, and he is so troublesome that he can't die. Is it possible that he bothered me to go far away? I can't go anymore, I can only support you, I can only do this, you are dead, I don't want to go to your grave, burn paper, and feel uncomfortable when winter comes, and I don't want to see you eating vegetarian every day Chanting scriptures, it's too pitiful to have no meat!"

After Gu Zhao finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the door. If he remembered something, he stopped and turned back to A Run and said, "A Run, I still have to say something. I am angry! I am very angry! It will be difficult for everyone to meet in the future, you know Well, originally I liked you very much, much more than you liked me.

But you lost a point if you kept it from me.You lied to me and dropped another point.If you don't think about me, you will lose another point.You pull me into the water and lose one point.If you have a wife and children, you lose three points.Although I, Gu Zhao, attach great importance to love, I am willing to part with it. From then on, I will not like you so much. The remaining three points can be regarded as friendship, a friendship with utilization.In the future, if you sit in the world and treat my family better, you will give me back a lot of wealth, but now... it is not I who lost money, but you who lost money, do you understand?There will never be anyone who likes you as much as I do, so let's just say goodbye. "

Opening the door, Gu Zhao looked up at the sky, and said with his back behind his back: "Live on, don't ask me to go to your grave every year, I'm lazy, and I'm afraid of trouble!"

Ah Run took a few steps, grabbed him, and stuffed a cloth bag into his hand, then slowly let go of his hand and said, "Don't worry, Azhao, even if I die, I won't cry." You have an accident... I... have made arrangements... you have to trust me."

After hearing this, Gu Zhao just smiled.

Gu Zhao left, Ah Run stood in the tea room in a daze, and did not move for a long time, until the peddler walking back and forth on the street shouted loudly to wake him up, he sat down slowly, sighed with a bitter smile on his face : "It turns out that I suffered a great loss." After finishing speaking, he laughed and shook his head: "But I don't know, so you are so...so..."

Obviously, with his vocabulary, he can't form a reasonable adjective. Azhao is probably the only one in the world who is so weird, can come up with such a reason, and act like this!

Gu Zhao's depression dissipated in his heart, and his appetite suddenly whetted. He ate two full bowls at the noodle stall on the street, and returned half a bowl of noodle soup. I can't help but feel a little proud when I walk aside.

Well, as a modern person, how can you put your eggs in one basket? Write the book quickly. That is the most important guarantee for the Gu family. The others are just three insurances.

A-Run... As for A-Run... He will only be farther away from him if he succeeds, and even if he doesn't talk about it at that time, there will be his trajectory.

If he fails, he will find a way to save him, just play by ear.With that book as a guarantee, if he ran away by himself, the emperor would die soon, and the little emperor might not have the ability to investigate these things. Given time, it would be good to quietly erase those clues.

but……

Gu Zhao stopped, took out the cloth bag and opened it... There were many dried plum petals in the bag...

Gu Zhao was heartbroken, and stood on the side of the road cursing: "Bastard, what a fuck! What do you mean! It made me cry...Damn it, you're still alive, I'll give you a point." .”

Not to mention that Gu Zhao is sad here, but because Fu Ji and the others lost Gu Zhao, they searched along the street sweating profusely, but they said that something big happened in this capital.

There were three girls in Gao's natal family. One of them found a piece of cloth and hung himself in the family temple, and hanged himself to death.

When Gu Zhao heard the news, he was in a trance for three days. How could it be that Gao's matter involved her daughter?One dead and three?The deaths of these people had something to do with him. Gu Zhao was very unhappy for taking three lives for no reason.

"Brother, did you ask someone to prepare a sacrificial ceremony and go to worship?" Gu Zhao sat there, stayed there for a while, and then murmured.

Gu Yan sneered: "What's the matter with us? His family made their own crimes. Why do we go to the door and spit on others? His own girl is not well-bred and came to harm our family. Who should we ask for reason? Brother, don't want it. It’s uncomfortable, they’re all enemies anyway, so let’s not deal with each other from generation to generation, if his family has any tricks, and then, I’ve seen a lot of this kind of game now, these sour scholars will do this, and they will die when they die, it’s hard It must have been hung up by Grandpa."

Gu Zhao smiled wryly.

Lu Shi also lamented on the side, and persuaded Gu Zhao after sighing: "My brother, don't worry about this. No one in Beijing knows what your fourth sister-in-law did. You go to rescue your nephew and niece. That's right. He Lao Gao's daughter was divorced, could it be that our family forced it? His daughter couldn't get married, so we told people not to marry? His daughter was divorced, because we wrote a divorce letter? It's not as simple as one piece at a time, and the pieces are all provocative. I don't know why, just wait, the outside is just to watch the excitement. After the excitement is over, they will not talk about it when new ones come out. "

Gu Zhao nodded. He still tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep when he went home at night. This is human life. He has never endured this. Therefore, in the middle of the night, he got up, found a lot of yellow paper, sat there with scissors, and cut a lot of paper money. Early the next morning, I went to the stream outside Shangjing, burned the paper money and said silently:

"Good girls, you must know where I come from at this time. The girls there are very strong. Even if the whole world doesn't love me, they can love themselves. There is a Phoenix girl in our place who was scolded by a billion people. She If you still get a green card and go abroad to enjoy yourself, what is it to be scolded!

Our girls there, they all live for themselves.I never thought that because of one thing, I would cause you to go like this at a young age. I was always so stupid, thinking that I was right, so I did it. Now, I have finally learned my lesson, not only For you, and because of other things, it turns out that the rules of this world are like this... I understand these principles, but I have been foolishly turning a blind eye to them, and now I have received retribution.

Good girls, I, Gu Zhao, have never harmed anyone in my two lifetimes. Go now. Now, you have returned to ashes and ashes to ashes. Go and have a good pregnancy and be a modern girl. No one loves you, and you can find happiness and live on your own..."

A gust of wind blew gently, carrying paper ash all over the sky, and the paper ash spun upwards, flying higher and higher, until it flew to a place where it could not be seen...
