Late autumn in Nanyang City came very early. A few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves. It seemed that overnight, the entire Nanyang City felt desolate and cold. When I got up early in the morning, the tiles on the eaves were covered with cold.
Frost.
Gu Qingyan held An Huajin in her arms and stayed on the bed for a rare moment without thinking. An Huajin pushed him several times, but he couldn't hold him. An Huajin was angry and funny, "You get up early every day, what's wrong with you today?"
Sorry?"
He didn't even bother to get up to come.
"I will go back to Beijing tomorrow and I can't bear to leave you."
An Huajin: "..."
Ten days have passed by in a flash, and I feel like the days have gone by faster.
She also felt a little reluctant, "Aren't you going to have breakfast with grandpa today?"
"I don't want to go."
Anhua Jin smiled, "Then do you still want to have breakfast?"
"I don't want to eat it."
"Then you want to stay in bed all day?"
"Kind of thinking about it."
An Huajin: "..."
She looked at the roof and smiled, "Come on, you're not hungry, I'm still hungry."
Gu Qingyan sighed, hugged her tightly, and whispered, "I'm going back to Beijing this time. I don't know when we can see each other again. Nanyang is far away from the bustling and hustle and bustle of Beijing. After staying here for so many days, I don't want to leave."
No wonder Cui Zhuo strives to break away from the Cui family. After leaving the family, he is free from restraints and can do what he wants to do. He has ambitions and ambitions in his heart and can realize them without any scruples. On the contrary, the burden of the family weighs him down.
Without freedom on my shoulders, I have even forgotten whether I had any ambitions when I was young."
"The Cui family is different from the Gu family. At least, the Cui family is close to Nanyang, so the burden on the family is not that heavy. The Gu family has been entrenched in the capital for hundreds of years. The foundation is too deep, and the burden on the family is heavy." An Huajin reached out and patted the family.
He said angrily, "You are such a thoughtful person. You have to worry about everything in your mind. There are so many comparisons in this world. You are so smart. What are you trying to do? You have to let it go.
Should I wake you up if I scold you?"
Gu Qingyan chuckled, "I also like to hear you scold me."
An Huajin: "..."
Ouch, it’s amazing, I’m obsessed.
She also laughed and said, "Actually, you know it all in your heart, so you don't have to think about it. As my grandfather said, although His Majesty is angry so far, it is all directed at me. There is no one to remove you from office yet.
What about you? Well, there is an element of him not daring to touch the legitimate sons and grandsons of the Gu family, but it is also because of your talent that you have the ability to do court affairs that others cannot."
"That's not necessarily true." Gu Qingyan shook his head, "Your Majesty's thoughts may seem shallow, but they are actually very deep."
Anhua Jin smiled, "So what if it's not the case? How about His Majesty's shallow mind? What about his deep mind? Why does the Gu family have a reputation for generations? That's because most of the descendants of the Gu family are officials in the court, in the capital, in the localities, in the world.
Officials, 10 out of 10, are all members of the Gu family. Although the descendants of the Gu family are burdened by the family, they really abide by the lintel of the family and serve as upright officials. Although their aspirations may be slightly contrary to those set when they were young, they are not
If there is too much hindrance, in addition to not being able to have freedom, standing in the court hall and living high in the temple is for the people, and guarding the border and being far away in the mountains and rivers is also for the people."
Gu Qingyan sighed softly and hugged her, "Hey, An Huajin, can't you think of an excuse for me? I have a good family and a country, and I have to serve the people well. I didn't have such lofty ambitions before, as the old saying goes.
It is said that three-year-olds look young and seven-year-olds look old. When I was seven years old, my grandfather once shook his head and said, I am cold-hearted by nature, and I am afraid that I am not pretending to be anything. I always thought so until Yuxue eight years ago.
In the Battle of Ling, your father and brother both died in the battle. It was not until the eldest prince mourned and cried in front of me, and it was not until I met you three years ago that I discovered that I also have seven emotions and six desires, just like ordinary people."
An Huajin pursed his lips and smiled, "You already have seven emotions and six desires, so what else do you need? Now that you're up, let's change our appearance a little bit today and take Ning'er out for a walk. He has been staying in Nanyang City since he returned to Nanyang City.
I haven’t been out at home yet.”
Gu Qingyan sat up after hearing this, "Okay, I will leave tomorrow. It is time for the child to go out and see what Nanyang City is like on the Dachu defense line guarded by his father. Speaking of which, since the child left Lingquan Mountain, he has returned to
An Jia, I don’t see him being as naughty as he was on Lingquan Mountain. Knowing his identity, he is afraid of getting into trouble, and he is extremely well-behaved."
An Huajin nodded, "I don't want him to be too well-behaved. After you take him back to Beijing, teach him a lot and don't learn to be rigid and disciplined? I don't dare to let him after he enters the palace.
Going out casually is also based on the consideration that this is Nanyang City. Even if my eldest brother has been buried for eight years, the people will still remember his voice and appearance. Once the news that he looks too much is spread, it will be difficult to hide it. Wait for you to bring it.
When he returns to Beijing, there are no people who know my eldest brother well. He is seven or eight thousand miles away from Nanyang City. Even if he meets someone who is not very familiar with him and cannot easily remember him, there is no need to hold back."
"Yeah." Gu Qingyan nodded, "That's the truth."
The two of them got up, packed up, and went to the old Nanyang King's courtyard to have breakfast as usual.
When the old King of Nanyang saw the two coming, he ordered people to serve food, and then said, "I want to meet your Majesty's father-in-law today, so you can take Ning'er with you."
An Huajin nodded, "I discussed with Huai'an to disguise herself today and take Ning'er around Nanyang City."
The old prince nodded, "It's time to take a stroll, An family, how can you not even be familiar with the streets and alleys of Nanyang City."
An Yining opened her eyes wide and said happily, "Little aunt, can I go out for a walk?"
"Okay." An Huajin patiently explained to him the reason why he was not allowed to go out earlier, and assured, "You can play until dark today and then go back home."
An Yining laughed happily, "Thank you, little aunt."
An Huajin smiled and touched his head.
After breakfast, the old King of Nanyang sent a message to the father-in-law who was waiting for delicious food and drinks. An Huajin and Gu Qingyan took An Yining in disguise and left the Nanyang Prince's Mansion.
When he was in the capital, Gu Qingyan attracted attention every time he went out on the streets. Once or twice, he was not very willing to go out on the streets in front of people at a young age. Except when the children at home gathered together, he was also very interested.
He rarely appeared in the gatherings of the young men in the capital. After all, his appearance and talent were too attractive. The noble ladies in the capital were bolder than others. In order to avoid trouble, he did not show up in public. Most of the time, he sat in a carriage.
Inside, or in a secret place with fewer people to meet people.
Therefore, he can be regarded as someone who has never gone shopping, although he knows every place in the streets and alleys of the capital.
Three years ago, it was already late at night at Hongpin Lane on the Eighth Street, so he didn't hide it. Unexpectedly, he met his little fiancée, which caused a lot of trouble.
Looking back now, I laugh, sigh and feel helpless.
This year, An Huajin came to Beijing. Her reputation as a powerful person was well known to everyone, but she became his protective umbrella. After she taught Chu Siyan a lesson in the street, no one dared to stop him anymore. What's more, when she met him, They all stayed away and stayed away, but it solved his troubles for many years.
Today, An Huajin not only disguised An Yining, but also disguised him and Gu Qingyan. Together, the three of them quietly left the Nanyang Prince's Mansion as ordinary people.
It was novel for An Yining to visit Nanyang City, and it seemed novel for Gu Qingyan to visit Nanyang City. An Huajin looked at the two of them, and An Yining understood very well, because this child has been staying in Lingquan Mountain since he was born, and Gu Qingyan , An Huajin thought for a while and then suddenly understood.
This man was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was gifted with precocious wisdom after he was born. He was raised as the heir of the family as long as he can remember. When his mind was formed, he was already a teenager and began to show his talent. He was born with the ability to do things that ordinary people do. Being a bit different, I can't be like ordinary people, but I have indeed lost a lot of fun.
An Yining seemed to have found a companion, holding Gu Qingyan's hand, very happy. Gu Qingyan curled his lips and followed An Yining to look here and there, even a small thing worth a few cents. with relish.
It seems that Mr. Gu Qi's childishness was restored when he was twenty years old.
An Huajin looked on and felt funny that these were two children, one small and one big.
For her, Nanyang City was the place where she grew up. She had almost stepped on countless footprints in every place. When she was young, as soon as she came out of the army, she would wander around the city. Today she would push and pull the dung cart with Uncle Wang, and tomorrow She helps Aunt Li sell stinky tofu, and everyone in the city, from seventy to eighty years old to three-year-old children, all know her.
Nowadays, she is completely their companion. She is only responsible for following them and asking for money to pay the bill when they buy something. She is a real little follower for them.
However, she enjoyed watching the two of them having fun.
