The atmosphere during the New Year is always easy to cause some sad emotions, and then some chicken soup that seems gorgeous but has no meaning to describe this emotion. Therefore, no matter how sad the atmosphere is, it is inexplicably mixed with a rustic smell, just like vinegar mixed in aged wine.

Gu Qing originally planned to immerse himself in the sad mood and give his soul an annual baptism. As a result, guests kept coming to the house in the afternoon, and the group of guests were not seen. When he entered the house, he was shouting and yelling, and the meal was served. He sang and laughed. The atmosphere was so excited that they seemed to be in the 857 in his previous life.

What does sadness feel like? Forgot.

Gu Qing just felt that not being able to have fun with them would be unsociable, so he had to follow him to have fun.

The Tang Dynasty was open, and men, women, young and old always liked to express their emotions in the form of singing and dancing. Gu Qing did not have kabuki at home, so Li Shierniang and others simply sang and danced by themselves.

So in the second half of the banquet, there were gusts of demons in front of the hall and demons danced in the hall.

Except for the half-drunk Li Shierniang who was also good at dancing, everyone else was singing and dancing randomly. Zhang Jiuzhang danced quite reservedly because of his elders. He waved his hands and twisted his waist, and couldn't let go like an aunt who had walked into the square for the first time. Zhang Huaijin didn't dance. Her mouth was stuffed with food, clapping her hands and laughing, and spraying food debris, like a feces truck that had exploded cans.

The most terrible thing was Li Guangbi. I don’t know if he was drunk, but he danced like a turtle who was touching electricity. If Gu Qing hadn’t had his sharp eyes found that he could vaguely detect a certain rhythm while his whole body was shaking, Gu Qing almost rushed up to save the person.

A group of guests kept making trouble until late at night before leaving.

Without saying a word of stingy scene, they were like villains who came to their house to eat and drink, then patted their butts and left, leaving behind a mess and a half-drunk girl.

But after Gu Qing sent them away, a warm current surged in his heart.

He knew what Li Shierniang and the others meant that when everyone else was celebrating, it would be like a child with both parents who died at home alone. They might know better than Gu Qing.

Taking loneliness as a habitual life, gradually no longer noticed loneliness. Such people are the most pitiful. Li Shier Niang and the others did not want to see Gu Qing like that, so on this day of celebration, they came to accompany him, and used fine wine and laughter to protect him, and help him survive a heart disaster.

In fact, Gu Qing is not as fragile as they expected. When he is lonely, he will not be cold if he starts a bonfire.

After Li Shierniang and the others left, Zhang Huaijin was in trouble.

While everyone was singing, dancing and making fun, Zhang Huaijin had secretly drunk a lot of wine. After Zhang Jiuzhang left, the girl became a little drunk.

Gu Qing was a little drunk, Zhang Huaijin was a little drunk. It was late at night, and the man and the woman were alone...

This is the most troublesome situation.

Wine is a matchmaker, and many unconditional things between men and women are stimulated by alcohol. Gu Qing was a little panicked. He didn't know how Zhang Huaijin's wine tasted. If he was greedy for his body, he might not be able to beat her. If he was not greedy for his body, it would be a kind of harm to his charm. Life is really contradictory...

Fortunately, Zhang Huaijin was drunk and very well-behaved, neither quarrel nor quarrel, nor did he touch Gu Qing.

She sat cross-legged on the futon, half of her body lying on the corner of the table, her face was rosy, and her eyes seemed to be surrounded by two misty mists, forgetting the past and unable to see the future.

Gu Qingmao walked carefully to her, walked to her side, picked up a chopstick and poked her, like a beast in a cage.

The beast seemed to sleep but did not slept, and did not bite him.

"You... are you okay? Do you want to go back to the guest room to sleep?" Gu Qing whispered in her ear.

Zhang Huaijin waved his hand powerlessly: "No! I still want to drink,... another three hundred cups!"

Gu Qing curled his lips.

Men and women are both virtuous when drunk, and they have blind confidence in themselves. They are so generous when they clamor for alcohol. They can only vomit in two mouthfuls when they really drink.

"Okay, okay, I'll ask the maid to send you back to the guest room to drink, you can drink as much as you drink." Gu Qing coaxed her softly.

Zhang Huaijin was unmoved and lay on the table and said quietly: "Brother Gu, do you know that tonight was specially invited by Erzu Weng and Aunt Li. They were afraid that you will be lonely... I am afraid that you will be lonely, so I will follow you."

Gu Qing was silent for a moment and said, "I know."

"Brother Gu, I know the feeling of losing a relative, so I feel sorry for you very much. When Dazu Weng passed away, I was only six years old. My father told me that I will never see Dazu Weng again. I cried very sadly and couldn't eat for several days. Brother Gu, your parents are not around these years, so you must be sad every day, right?"

Gu Qing laughed: "How can you be sad every day? If your parents are not here, life will continue to live. A missing part of your life is also life. It is no different from other people's lives. The only regret is that a broken life will somewhat affect personality growth. Because without the support and teaching of your parents, many major and trivial matters in growth can only be explored and tried by yourself..."

His eyes gradually became darker and deeper, and Gu Qing whispered: "...If you make a mistake, you will pay a greater price than an ordinary child, because no one in the world can tolerate you making mistakes except your parents. There is no protection from your parents. No matter how young you are, you will have to bear the mistakes you have made. The beats you have been given by outsiders. Sometimes you will be beaten even if you don't make mistakes."

Gu Qing suddenly showed a look of pride on his face, as if he was showing off: "...I learned to protect my head with my arms when I was five years old. This is an amazing skill."

Listening to Gu Qing talking about the past with a calm expression, Zhang Huaijin's drunkenness suddenly woke up most of the time. She sat up straight and stared at him in a daze. Tears flowed down for some reason, flowing more and more.

"Tsk, why are you crying? Have a good chat, don't destroy the atmosphere, don't force sensationalism, I'm not that fragile..." Gu Qing said disgustedly: "The next one is a relatively pleasant plot. When I was ten years old, all the people who bullied me back were revenge by me, and it was doubled. No one dared to mess with me from now on."

Zhang Huaijin cried even more and more uncontrollably.

Through the hazy tearful eyes, she seemed to see a thin little child covered in scars. He curled up on the ground, protected his head with his arms, and endured the bullying and beating of the older children without saying a word. His body endured huge pain, but his eyes were still stubborn and unyielding. Without parents standing up in front of him, the only thing he could do was protect himself and try his best to reduce the damage...

Over the years, he has been beaten and hunger, and finally he has grown up step by step with difficulty.

What is rare is that God is so unfair to him, but he still lives as a kind and righteous person.

How strong is he who can resist the failure to go to the wrong path and hold on to the clear and clear spiritual platform. When he grows up, he can use all kinds of means to ask for what God owes him.

Gu Qing didn't say anything more.

What he said just now was actually the thing of his previous life, but he was not used to selling misery to others. No matter how tragic the past was, it often seemed pretentious after saying it. As he said when he comforted himself countless times, he was just the one who was unfortunately selected by God when he selected the unlucky person, that's all.

Because of his extraordinary growth experience, he has created himself today. He is very satisfied with his current self and will be satisfied for both lives.

Thanks to God's injustice, a young bud has the strength to break through the stone and break out of the ground, forcing himself to become stronger.

It was late at night, Gu Qing picked up a glass of wine on the table, greeted Zhang Huaijin, and smiled and said a blessing from his previous life: "Happy New Year!"

After drinking it all, the remaining wine entered the throat and a coolness came out of the abdomen. Outside the yard, the noise of the carnival crowd seemed to be even more boiling. Tonight, Chang'an is a city that never sleeps.

But Gu Qing was a little tired. He liked to embrace the lively and could only feel more clearly that he was truly alive in the bustling environment.

Only during the New Year, he hates any sound and just wants to go to bed early.

Putting down the wine glass, Gu Qing rubbed Zhang Huaijin's hair and smiled and said, "Go to bed early, you know where the guest room is. You are more familiar with me at my house, so I won't be with you."

Turning around and walking out, Zhang Huaijin behind him suddenly said, "Brother Gu... Gu Qing!"

Gu Qing stood still and did not look back.

Zhang Huaijin showed a very serious expression, stared at Gu Qing's back, and slowly said word by word: "I, Zhang Huaijin, Brother Gu, not only like me, but also like me."

"A lifetime of one person, one life, one person, this life is Gu Qing and Zhang Huaijin."

"I know you don't understand the tactful words. I understand enough, right?"

Gu Qing had not turned around and was silent for a long time. He just smiled with his back to her, but left the front hall without saying a word.

Zhang Huaijin seemed to have lost all her strength and sat on the cushion. She was stunned for a while and suddenly grinned and started crying loudly. She looked so ugly, like a child who was lost in the wilderness.

…………

If you don’t love, you don’t love. Zhang Huaijin in Gu Qing’s eyes is still a child.

Children are not sure of their character, they are fond of the old and old, and they want to give you life when they like it. If they don’t like it, they don’t even like it.

The so-called love that has not been through the storm is too fragile. Even if you are obsessed at that time, looking back at this life after growing up, you will not only feel lost, but also regret it.

Lying on the bed, listening to the noisy movements coming from the street, Gu Qing opened his eyes in the dark and sighed.

Tonight... I seem to miss Zhang Huaiyu even more. I want to sit on the roof with her and drink with her, and tell you the most unspeakable secret deep in my heart. He knew that Zhang Huaiyu would listen carefully and would stand on his side indiscriminately.

This woman is the one who truly fits her soul.

He tossed and turned until dawn did not fall asleep. Gu Qing slept until noon before getting up. He walked out of the bedroom and grabbed a maid and asked Zhang Huaijin. The maid reported that Miss Zhang left early this morning.

Gu Qing was stunned for a long time, then shook his head.

Last night, Zhang Huaijin confessed to him formally, but Gu Qing's rejection was not so direct. He said it was a bit like a scumbag. He was indeed afraid that he would hurt Zhang Huaijin's self-esteem, so he chose to leave without saying a word.

Of course, the Tang Dynasty is not a modern day a thousand years later, and Gu Qing would not be so innocent that he insisted on marrying only one woman. If the sisters didn’t mind marrying the same husband, Gu Qing wouldn’t mind even more, just because he was worried that his body wouldn’t be able to stand it.

There is no need to go to the Zuowei in the past few days. The court has rules. Around New Year's Day, court officials can take a rest for half a month, which is considered as an annual leave. Except for some officials who are on duty in the three provinces and six ministries, thousands of officials from the first to ninth ranks in Chang'an City can rest at home for half a month.

Gu Qing naturally would not be polite with reasonable and legal paid annual leave. Today's sunshine was good. After lunch, he ordered the maid to move a Hu bed in the yard. There was also a low table next to the Hu bed, various snacks and snacks on the low table, and a small pot of Resurrection wine. I drank a little too much last night, so I came here today.

He lazily poured himself on Hu's bed, and Gu Qing was still holding a book in his hand. It didn't matter which book, it was mainly used to cover his eyes during naps.

The ancient books were all vertical and were very tired to read. Gu Qing yawned after reading two lines, and tried hard to read another line, and successfully entered a half-sleep state.

After sleeping for a while, footsteps came from the yard. Gu Qing opened his eyes in a daze. Han Jie stood in front of him and hesitated for a while before holding his fists.

"If you have something to say," Gu Qing closed his eyes again and yawned a lengthy yawn.

"Mr. Marquis, I want to take a few days off, I don't know if..."

Gu Qing didn't look up and said, "But go, go home, be filial to your parents for a few days, and give you half a month off..."

Before he finished speaking, Han Jie suddenly said, "Marty, I am not going home. There is a man named Zheng Xiang in our guard. I wonder if the Marquis remembers it?"

Gu Qing finally opened his eyes and said, "I remember, he is a little short, a little dark skin, not very talkative, and is quite introverted, but he has a great alcohol tolerance. Once he drank with you, he almost sent me away. It is said that he had fought with Tubo when he was in the Anxi Protectorate Mansion... What happened to Zheng Xiang?"

Han Jie showed a look of worry and sighed: "There was something wrong with Zheng Xiang's family. After taking leave the day before yesterday, he left and refused to return. It was only today that the generals who heard his fellow villagers in the personal guard talk about this."

Gu Qing sat upright and asked, "What happened to his family?"

Han Jie hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Mo Jiang is not very clear. He has to go to his house to find out, so he specially asked the Marquis to have a leave. After all, Zheng Xiang is the brother of the robes who came out of the cavalry camp with Mo Jiang. Mo Jiang cannot ignore him."

Gu Qing nodded: "Go, if things are big, you are allowed to use my name, although no one will buy it... Also, before you leave, you said to Butler Xu, and said I had ordered, go to my account and pay one hundred taels of silver cakes and take it away..."

After a pause, Gu Qing explained: "90% of the troubles in the world can actually be solved with money. If Zheng Xiang's family affairs can be solved with these 100 taels of silver cakes, it would be easier. Go quickly, don't be polite to me, tell Zheng Xiang that I will wait for him to come back and drink together, and I will definitely drink him next time."
