Extra Four After the Qingming Rain

Chang Geng claimed to the outside world that in order to avoid suspicion, even if he occasionally stayed overnight in the palace, he would never set foot in the harem. All matters in the harem were still under the control of the empress. Fortunately, Li Feng's harem was not very busy, and the empress could barely handle the sick seedlings. It is unheard of for an emperor to come to the palace all day to order Mao, and to hang a seal and leave the emperor. At the beginning, some people came out and said such and such unreasonable laws, and they were all scolded back-the emperor claimed that he was just a " Acting Emperor", now that Dai is conscientious and does not violate the rules at all, why is there always a flatterer who is afraid that the world will not be in chaos, trying to sway him to steal the country?

The Censor Desk, headed by Xu Ling, became the royal watering can, pinning the word "shattering the old and establishing the new" on the forehead. Every day, he was specially responsible for finding various theoretical basis for the various decrees of the imperial court, so as to make the quarrel more justifiable.

The emperor who did not live in the palace would sometimes pretend to return to the Yanwang Mansion, and then treat the Yanwang Mansion as a "living room" where he occasionally met courtiers in private, and turned around and headed for the Hou's mansion—there was no two-step way anyway.

This year's rain fell a lot earlier than in previous years. On the eve of Qingming, there was a continuous light rain.

Although Gu Yun, who has not been at home for many years, has not taken off his armor, he is finally able to live in the capital safely. The Marquis of Anding's mansion, where a ghost story is about to spread, has been tossing in and out for several days, and finally it looks like someone is living.

When repairing the garden and tidying up the house, he found a lot of old things, so every day, picking up old things behind Commander Huo has become a new hobby for the unconventional emperor to take a walk in the evening.

"Is this the old thing from the eldest princess?" Chang Geng asked, pointing to a square box - it was disrespectful, he didn't rashly act.

The rough old woman who was cleaning the house glanced at it and said with a smile, "Isn't it true, it's specially made for the little Marquis."

Saying that, she opened the box, and saw that there was actually a "feather duster" in the treasure box that looked like a bead box.

Chang Geng: "..."

The old woman said: "Little Marquis was very troublesome when he was a child, and he didn't forget to be careful when he reprimanded him. Guan Siguo would pick the lock and get out of the room by himself. He also knew that he would go to the kitchen to steal food. Uh, the old man is so violent again, and he has to go to the family law once and for all. The emperor of the family law knows it. On the way back to the army, I saw a village woman carrying a broom to train her son, so she came up with such a trick to deal with him."

Chang Geng "please" out the feather duster that had beaten Gu Dashuai with both hands, only to see that the inner support is a thin pole, too much force will break, and it won't kill anyone, and there is a thick circle on the outside. "Chicken feathers" are not really pheasant feathers, they are made of thin bamboo threads and the hard wool of an unknown animal.

He grew up in the Hou's Mansion, and he is more like the master than the real master. Although the old servant girl changed her name to "The Emperor", she didn't show any signs of it, and said cheerfully: "Our family's Hou Ye was really out of the circle when he was a child. Fang Jiewa, who does all kinds of evil, is afraid of this later, no matter what he does, as long as he mentions it, he will be able to be honest for a while."

In front of Chang Geng, Gu Yun has always looked like an elder with ease and ease. For Chang Geng, his childhood was completely blank, so he listened with great interest.

"It's fun when the princess mainly beats him. She runs around the yard, crying while running, and howling like a real thing."

Chang Geng asked curiously, "The real thing? Could it be a fake?"

"Of course it's a pretense," the old maid sighed as she walked, "When our little Marquis was young, he didn't write a few real papers, don't expect him to shed real tears, you can see him crying all over the yard, and it doesn't rain after thunderstorms. The words in it are a set of words, and at every turn, there is a pitiful sentence, "Mother, don't you like me? Don't you want me? Am I not the flesh that fell from your body?" Otherwise, "Mother wants to change." Is a younger brother better than me? I have changed, please don’t change my younger brother, I am just a mother, if I don’t love me, I will become a wild child no one wants’... , the princess can't bear to take care of him."

When Chang Geng thought about that scene, he couldn't breathe with laughter. Gu Yun was worthy of being a master of the art of war. He knew from a young age that "the truth is in harmony" and "attack the heart first".

A smile flashed across the wrinkles at the corner of the old servant woman's eyes, and then her voice suddenly changed: "After a trip to the frontier, everything changed when I came back."

The smile on Chang Geng's face faded away.

The old woman recalled to herself: "Every day I lock myself in the room, ignore people, don't cry, bring food in, how to put it in, how to push it out, no one to coax, and no one to step outside the door. He was a little monkey, but he became a little devil after he came back, and his whole person has changed. It took two or three months before the old marquis settled down on the north side and returned to the house... Well, he might as well not come back. I want to tell you "Old Marquis is really cruel to his own son, maybe something like that happened, I'm afraid he'll be so useless."

Chang Geng asked softly, "What?"

"The old man kicked the door of his room and pulled him out of the room. You think, his eyes were so badly injured, how could it not hurt when he saw the sky? He staggered and followed. Tears were shed, but this time they were real tears, but she didn't say a word." The old servant woman pointed out, "It's the small pond, the old marquis made a circle with the horse whip, wrapped it around the marquis' neck, and pressed his head. Forcing him to look into the water and yelling at his ear 'Look at what you are now, do you deserve the surname Gu'."

Chang Geng followed her fingers and saw that the pond that had been in the desert for many years had already dried up. It was only two days ago that it was refilled with water and a few new fish were raised, and they were waving their tails leisurely.

"Little Marquis got his throat stuck on the whip and shouted back and said 'I can't see'."

Following her words, Chang Geng seemed to have returned to a few years ago, and the hand holding the "feather duster" twitched slightly.

"The old marquis pressed his head into the water and said, 'I can't see you lying in the water and look good, or you stand up by yourself, or you find a beam to hang yourself, the Gu family would rather die than stay Trash!'" The old maid said here, shaking her head, "After so many years, this old lady of mine can't remember a word, it's really cruel."

There was no sound between the two for a while, and after an unknown amount of time, Chang Geng asked softly, "Old Marquis is willing?"

"Parents are naturally distressed, but what else can they do? The old marquis said that if the bone is broken, it can only be wedged with steel nails. Rely on, otherwise he will rely on it himself, and he will never be able to stand up for the rest of his life." The old servant woman said, "If the old man is unwilling, who could justifiably take action to clean up the scattered Xuantie camp ten years ago?"

Without Xuan Tieying, maybe Liang had been eaten by the whale step by step as early as the first rebellion in the Western Regions. I am afraid that they couldn't turn a bite by the Westerners. When will their old princes in the middle of them still be rich and wealthy?

"In the winter lunar month, the family was not allowed to wear a cold cotton coat for him, and the child was frozen to be green, and the bowls in the house could not be held. Hou Ye was watching, it seemed that even if he died, he would never blink ... After two or three years, the couple went, and Yuan and the emperor took Xiao Houye into the palace. "Old When the servant's words were talked, a sharp bird sound came from the corner. As soon as the two looked up, they were seeing Gu Yan who walked from there with a bird cage. I couldn't speak anymore, so I had to scream with my throat.

Since Gu Yanteng's shot, after time to repair the bird, he has never settled in the struggle between the man and the bird. After Chang Geng's hand, he narrowed his eyes first, and then his face suddenly turned dark.

Gu Yan walked over and snatched the "chicken hair": "What is broken and played out, but not slipping!"

If the shadow has been cured for many years, it is easy to have sequelae. For example, Gu Yan is unlikely to be completely clever in his life. For example, although Chang Geng got rid of the nightmare, he was slightly tired and thoughtful.

That night, I don't know if I still remember the "chicken hair" snatched by Gu Yan. Chang Geng had a strange dream. He dreamed that he entered Houfu, but he was not the stable Houfu he was familiar with At least not as depressed in his impression that people come and go, it seems more popular.

From a distance, Chang Geng heard a golden iron sound. He followed the sound and saw a group of murderous iron puppets besieged a little boy in the backyard. The little boy's eyes were covered with a layer of black cloth, covering half of his face, and dodging his left and right.

Suddenly, an iron puppet approached him from behind him. The long knife in his hand had been replaced with an iron rod and swept him, as if he felt the sound of bad winds, and the little boy wanted to avoid it subconsciously.

Slowly, can't hide like this!

Chang Geng had a moment ago, and someone told him many years ago: "You are panicked, and you will float under your feet. People are normal, but you will be difficult to consolidate the counterattack in a short time, but you will fall into the hands of the opponent in a hurry. "

Of course, the speed of a boy could not pass the iron puppet. After he hesitated, he was quickly caught up by the iron puppet, a loud noise, and the monster's iron rod hit it on the tender back. , Exposed the heart armor inside, people had already flew out.

Chang Geng rushed forward, hugged the little boy with half -body dust, and at the same time pulled out the sword on his waist with his backhand, nailing a few iron puppets who caught up with no indiscriminate.

He threw the sword down, and he wanted to unlock the cloth strip on the boy's face with a somewhat hand, but he heard footsteps from behind him. Essence The man was wearing a casual dress and a beautiful face, like a person who was a man with a man, but those eyes were full of breath. When he faced, his eyes seemed to have thousands of troops.

Chang Geng has never seen this person. Although Gu Yan did not look like him in adulthood, he recognized the person's identity in the face -the facial features are not like the face, but this father and son have something like a god -like thing. One pulse is inherited.

The man stood, and said to Chang Geng: "Even if you take him away, you can't raise him.

Chang Geng carefully hugs the boy's thin body: "He can rely on me."

Lao Da Hou shook his head, and Chang Geng suddenly heard the roar when the golden box was burning, and quickly hugged the boy to hide, and saw a group of iron puppets that he was nailed to him in an orderly manner. One was divided into two, but for a moment, it had become a iron -cast heavy armored army, staring at him staring at him, and there was a vague sound of Xunzi in the distance.

Chang Geng had to pick up Xiao Gu's rushing and ran away, running embarrassed, and the old man who wanted to rush into the indifferent watching shouted — can I clean up the old rivers and mountains in the wind and rain. Can't I protect a Gu Yan?

However, he couldn't make a sound in the dream. He stepped on the air in the rush fled, and Chang Geng's heart jumped, reaching out, grabbing one hand, he opened his eyes suddenly, and saw that the steam lamp in the house was turned on. The sky was not yet bright, and he was holding Gu Ying's hand tightly.

Gu Yan touched his head: "Why can't I wake up today? Is it uncomfortable?"

Chang Geng looked at him for a moment: "I had a dream."

Gu Yan was startled.

"It's not a nightmare, not a Ur bone." Chang Geng rolled over, hugged him with one hand, rolled his arms into his arms, his forehead rushed to Gu Yan's elbow gently, and whispered "Dreaming that I snatched you from the old man's hands, and your father sent a battalion iron puppet to kill me."

Gu Yan first stunned, and then laughed without heartlessly. He used a little effort to drag the emperor Lai from the quilt and pulled out his arm: "His Majesty, His Majesty, his old man has a hand in his hands. What about 100,000 Yin Soldiers -OK, the prestige is over, getting up, there is a big meeting today. Well, it is also clear, can he use the lack of paper there to use it there, please remind you? "

Chang Geng sat next to the bed and looked at him. He looked from head to toe by lighting. It wasn't until Gu Yan put on his clothes that he reluctantly looked back: "Your dad lacks paper money, why don't you find me?"

"Look at you so bullying." Gu Yan laughed, and then his smile gradually became a bit of taste. "I don't owe him, I guess he is embarrassed to see me."

On the day of Qingming, Chang Geng deliberately came out for a long time and accompanied Gu Yi's sacrifice to sweep the tomb of the ancestors.

Gu Yan lived in front of God to repair the closed meditation, and there was no half -sentence, but he just finished the paper and stood indifferently.

He has to do what he has done over the years, and he need not say that the two of them should have known.

However, Chang Geng was seriously fragrant, sacrificed the wine, and said in the presence of Gu Yi's face, so he meditated in my heart: "I will take care of him in the future. It's. "

"Go." Gu Yan pulled him gently.

Chang Geng came back and was about to go back with him, and saw Gu Yan turned to the princess's spiritual position indifferently: "Optimistic about your horses, let him treat him honestly, and to harass me."

Chang Geng: "..."

Holder, who was accompanied by hearing these big words, almost knelt down and died in front of Lao Houye.Gu Yan snorted and turned his head and pulled Chang Geng away.

Not to mention, he was very useful. Since then, Chang Geng never dreamed of Gu Laohou and his iron troops.
