Tan Hua Floating Dream
Chapter 5
Opening those clumsy eyelids for some reason, Tang Tan discovered that the ceiling was a picture he had been looking at for several months, and he was almost familiar with it. Dreaming in a trance, I always feel as if if I blink again, I will return to the time when he grew up.
But what if we go back there?Already... no one will gently wake him up and give him a good morning kiss, and it doesn't make any difference whether he goes back or not.
He comforted himself like this every time, to calm down the feeling of anxiety that he always felt in his dreams at midnight after he came here.
But...Tang Tan, who had to spend a lot of time waking up every day to wake himself up and realize that he is no longer in the reality of the 21st century, after a pause, felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, and then suddenly remembered something. Sitting up, he remembered that he didn't see Tang Xiu when he went home, and then went out to look for it, and then...then he seemed to...see a man with the same appearance as Meng Chaoyin?
Afterwards, he had no memory, and when he opened his eyes, he was in his own room...
Are you dreaming again?
Zhuang Zhou's Mengdie couldn't tell which was a dream and which was reality. Every time he opened his eyes, he had to think hard about where he was, just like the movie "The Matrix" or "Full Start", it seems like a dream but not a dream .Sometimes he would also think, could it be just a dream of him that he was reborn in this era through time travel?
Thinking day by day and dreaming at night, maybe it's just that he misses that person so much that such a daydream appears?Over the past six months or so, I have seen that person come back to me in my dreams countless times, but when I woke up, I found that everything was just my own delusion.
Tang Tan, oh Tang Tan, you really are hopeless.
He couldn't help shaking his head slightly, mocking himself inwardly.
When he pulled off the quilt covering his body and was about to get out of bed, he was slightly startled by the sound of footsteps outside, and frowned slightly.
In this huge house, he and Tang Xiu lived alone, and the sound of these strange footsteps was calm and soft, different from the gentle steps of Tang Xiu's daughter's house...
Immediately afterwards, there seemed to be someone's voice outside his door. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying at first glance, it was certain that the voice belonged to a male.
He couldn't help straining his body to listen carefully, wanting to hear who the voice was, and why there was a stranger's voice in his house.
"That, that... Young Master Gu, I'll do this kind of thing, I don't bother you to take care of my brother..." Tang Xiu said cautiously and somewhat uneasily.
...Master Gu?Who?
He doesn't know anyone with the surname Gu, no matter in the past or now, the only person who has heard of the surname Gu recently is the current general manager of the Longevity Medicine Store, Mr. Gu... But it should be impossible, right?He neither knew that old man nor had any relationship with him, so how could he suddenly appear at his house?
That kind of feeling is very absurd and unbelievable like a small employee of an ordinary office worker in a company who wakes up one day and suddenly finds that his boss has appeared in his home.
Thinking wrongly... Speaking of which, he admired himself for being able to travel to other places to think about things at any time in this era, so who is this ancient young master?
"Miss Tang has an injury on her foot and it is not suitable for walking. You should rest and recuperate more! I will take care of these trivial matters." The gentle and deep voice slipped into Tang Tan's ears like water, but it made him stiff as if struck by lightning Body, wide-open eyes showing disbelief.
This voice... this voice...isn't he hallucinating?
He thought that he could no longer remember the voice and tone of that person, at most he only remembered his face, so he desperately drew the portrait of that person, fearing that one day he would even forget his appearance.
It's just that when he heard the voice at that time, it still made him tremble all over his body, from the inside to the outside like an electric current, coming from the depths of his body.
Yin...
Unforgettable emotions are like thorns that are getting tighter and tighter, entangled and hurt his heart fiercely. The heart hurts, but it also makes him have a kind of masochistic pleasure. Even if it is just a similar voice, it can make him feel sad Feel happy and moved at the same time.
He wanted to take a look at the owner of that voice, the urgency and longing made him tremble all over, maybe others could not understand his reaction, but Tang Tan was very clear that it was a kind of despair that he had experienced countless times before, and when he saw some hope, Even if it is weak, I still want to seize that opportunity, even if I know that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
But he thought so, but he didn't move at all, his stiff body couldn't be controlled, and he couldn't even stand up.
While he was hesitating in a daze, the door creaked open, Tang Tan reflexively looked in that direction, but when he saw the backlit figure outside the door, tears burst out of control.
The man standing at the door is wearing a dark green robe. Although the style is simple, it can be seen that the material is quite high-quality. He is not wearing gold or silver, but the hair accessory hanging from his waist and even the head is just a hairband made of the same fabric. It was tied, but even if the clothes were simple, it couldn't hide the dazzling light from the inside to the outside of this man's body.
With his calm, introverted and sleek calm demeanor, coupled with his impeccable appearance, this man is like a top-quality black pearl, without dazzling light, but his existence cannot be ignored.
Healthy, intact, and alive... Tang Tan recalled that person's dry and emaciated figure in the last few months in Tang Tan's mind, and his heart ached again.
Ever since Meng Chaoyin's bones were cremated, he never thought that he could still see him alive, but he never thought that he would see this face again after nearly a thousand years.
The indescribable excitement and longing surged out like a flood, irresistible.
He knows that this person is not his lover, regardless of what Soul Zhi said, at least, he is not the man who has the memory of living with him, who has never loved and dated him, so he is not Meng Chaoyin, but Still let him see each other and couldn't help but want to cry.
"Yin..."
Holding the medicinal soup, Gu Zhongyan pushed the door into Tang Tan's room, raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw Tang Tan's reaction, although Tang Tan spoke very softly, almost in his mouth, but he still heard him say what.
He called a stranger's name to himself again instead of his own.
Could it be that there is really another man in this world who is born exactly like himself?
Gu Zhongyan couldn't tell how he felt inside.He didn't miss the strong nostalgia and sadness flashing in the other party's eyes, those eyes were like hands plucking strings, which made his heart tremble.
Unexplainable, unclear way, wrinkled a pool of spring water for no reason.
Originally, he was almost certain that the other party was the person he was looking for, but at this time he was a little shaken.
After that brief gaffe, the young man in front of him pursed his lips and closed his eyes to blink away the tears in his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, the excitement had calmed down, and he looked at Gu Zhong calmly with somewhat strange eyes. Yan, but Gu Zhongyan did not miss the reluctance flashing in his eyes.
"Who... are you? Why did you appear at my house?" Tang Tan asked quietly.
The man with a calm face showed a slightly surprised look, as if he was surprised that he would ask this question. After looking at him for a long time, it seemed that he finally realized a certain fact and frowned slightly.
The man looked at him for a while, then put the tray on the table, and walked towards him with the bowl of medicinal soup.
"Drink the medicine first!" Gu Zhongyan didn't answer his question, but just sat down by the bed.
Seeing his gestures as if he wanted to feed himself medicine, Tang Tan quickly said, "I... just do it myself."
Tang Tan was very unaccustomed to being served and drank medicine, especially in the few months before Meng Chaoyin left, he mostly fed him medicine by himself, and sometimes even Meng Chaoyin couldn't stand vomiting shortly after swallowing the medicine In the later stage, he could only take nutritional supplements, and he was so haggard that he couldn't help hiding in the toilet and crying secretly every day when Meng Chaoyin was asleep.
So when the person in front of him made this kind of action, he couldn't help crying secretly in his heart.
When I looked at this person so closely, I realized that the other person was exactly the same as Meng Chaoyin to the point that even he, who had been beside him for many years, was astonished.
He couldn't help lowering his eyes, and didn't dare to look any further, for he was afraid that he would have any strange reactions and actions.
It's just that although he wanted to drink the medicine by himself, the man refused to pass it to him and insisted on feeding him spoonful by spoonful. Tang Tan, who didn't want to have any conflict with the other party, had no choice but to let the man feed the medicine like a child. , although he felt that he was not sick or in pain at all, but fell into the water and passed out for a while...
After drinking the bowl of terribly bitter medicine, Tang Tan subconsciously clicked his tongue, trying to swallow the bitterness in his mouth, but the next second he was fooled by the sweet and sour fairy hawthorn ball that was suddenly stuffed into his mouth Dazed for a moment, he stared blankly at the man who stuffed candy into his mouth with a calm face, the lips seemed to still have the temperature from the other party touching him, which made him tremble slightly.
A being that is alive, not just a dream or fantasy.
"So, can this young master answer the question I just asked?" Tang Tan bit the fairy hawthorn into pieces, and after the sweetness spread in his mouth to get rid of the bitterness, he returned to the question just now.
Gu Zhongyan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him, and he also looked back inexplicably, but in the end he couldn't help but look away because the other's face was too much like a lover.
"Gu Zhongyan, my name."
The man's neutral tone made Tang Tan unable to react for a moment, but felt that the name sounded familiar... Wait, isn't this name the name of the old man that Senior Brother Wu said?Could it be that he is really that old man?
"...That, Lord Gu?" Tang Tan suddenly remembered the day when Gu Zhongyan first came to Hangzhou a few days ago, when he saw his back, he had a sense of familiarity and then remembered Meng Chaoyin, and suddenly realized.
It turned out that it wasn't because I thought too much, but because this person was born with the same appearance and voice as his lover.
Hearing that he called himself "Gu Ye" like everyone else, Gu Zhongyan frowned slightly, and there seemed to be some deep meaning that Tang Tan couldn't express in his eyes, as if he was saying that his reaction should not be like this, and he should not only In this way, there was a soft "hmm" sound.
... Really?However, why did this person appear here? He hasn't answered himself yet, has he?Although the other party's appearance made him unable to defend against him at all, he still hadn't forgotten that "Gu Zhongyan" was his current bread and butter.
"You fell into the water, I will rescue you from the river and send you back." Gu Zhongyan said in a flat tone, and solved Tang Tan's problem with a few simple words.
When he said this, Tang Tan vaguely remembered that he saw Gu Zhongyan standing at the other end before going up the bridge, lost his mind for a moment, and then was pushed and fell into the water, and saw that face seemed to call Meng Chaoyin's name in a daze.
"So that's how it is... so small, I thank Gu Ye for saving my life here." Tang Tan suddenly realized and nodded, unfamiliar and polite.
Although he didn't want to show such an attitude in his heart, he still told himself rationally that this person is not Meng Chaoyin. Even if it is possible that the soul is Meng Chaoyin, as long as there is no memory of his love with Meng Chaoyin, it is not completely counted. It is impossible to rashly make some extraordinary moves.
"You don't have to call yourself "little" like that, I'm not a big man, I'm just a helper. "Gu Zhongyan didn't seem very happy when he heard his self-proclaimed.
Tang Tan blinked in surprise at Gu Zhongyan's gentle and unassuming speech. Even the head manager of Xiangwang's mansion had a somewhat condescending attitude unconsciously. Those who hold more real power in the Hou's Mansion, but Director Bi De can see clearly.
"Ah, look at me, I'm so confused... After talking so much, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Tang Tan, Tang from Great Tang, short-lived Tan."
Tang Tan suddenly realized that he wanted someone to report his name, but Tang Tan seemed to have forgotten about it. He fell into the water... How did this man know where he lived and sent him back?It stands to reason that they should be strangers to each other, right?Did he already know who he was?
"I know." The man still didn't change his expression, he paused for a while, before even Tang Tan was surprised why he knew, he added another sentence. "Deputy Manager Shu has said something."
Deputy Manager Shu... Tang Tan blinked, thinking hard about who this person is, he doesn't seem to know this person.
"Deputy Manager Shu is the person you handed the elixir of immortality to him that day." Probably seeing Tang Tan's confusion, Gu Zhongyan added another sentence, which made the appearance of that young man quickly appear in Tang Tan's mind .
So that's the case...then he wasn't surprised at all that his message included his name and where he lived, and the other party would know it. It's probably because after he handed over the things, this ancient master asked someone to investigate with some inquiring mind. yourself?Even if the ancients were not as well-informed as the modern people, it should not be a problem to some extent.
Even if we can't find the information before "Tang Tan", at least we should know his current residence or something.What's more, he is still a boy in the pharmacy, maybe this man still observes him secretly, so as to make sure that he is not in the same gang as the thief.
"He also said that you didn't ask us for any conditions."
Hearing this, Tang Tan looked at him in surprise, but immediately understood why he would say this.
Although there has been a saying since ancient times that there is no shame in picking up money, but how many people can really do it without asking for any price at all?Who doesn't hope that the loser can give back with a bit of luck.
"I don't have anything to ask for... Besides... even if I want something, it doesn't mean that I can get it by asking, so why ask for it?" Tang Tan lowered his eyes and said calmly.
What he wanted most...God brought it to him in the dark, but he couldn't eat it.
This man is not something he can get when he says he wants it.
To the man at this time, he should be just a stranger, right?The most familiar stranger!
He spoke plainly and didn't care, but Gu Zhongyan could hear some loss and pain from his plainness, for some reason, it also made his chest feel unspeakably stuffy.
What can't you get?Gu Zhongyan found himself wanting to know.
"What do you want?" He couldn't help but ask.
When Tang Tan heard his question, he raised his eyes and looked at him for a few seconds before showing a slightly sentimental expression and shaking his head lightly to express that it was unnecessary.
"No need, since Gu Ye saved my life, don't we owe each other?" Tang Tan obviously wanted to let this matter go without mentioning it, but Gu Zhongyan frowned because of his words. Pursing her lips, she looked at him thoughtfully.
...Why on earth does this person always look at him with such strange eyes?He believed that the other party would never have the memory of Meng Chaoyin, otherwise he would not have looked at him with such eyes, but if the other party did not know him before this... Tang Tan paused and frowned slightly.
Could it be that this person is the dead Wen Qiufu...someone he knew?
It can't be such a coincidence, can it?
If Wen Qiufu really knew this person but was with that King Xiang...he would say, this Wen Qiufu's vision is really not very good, and he would abandon this beautiful man in front of him and choose a philandering prince. My own life is gone.
"Gu Ye?" Seeing the other party staring at him, Tang Tan asked uncomfortably. After all, he was being stared at by a man who looked exactly like his lover, and it was a lie to say that he didn't feel it.
"You...you look like the person I'm looking for." Gu Zhongyan's abrupt opening made Tang Tan startled.
Could it be such a coincidence?Tang Tan cast a look full of question marks, waiting for him to continue.
"The eldest son of Lord Hou, his whereabouts are unknown after he left the mansion seven years ago. We have been looking for the whereabouts of the young master for the past few years, but he seems to have evaporated, and there is no news of him." Gu Zhongyan no longer He dragged his feet, and simply said something, while carefully observing Tang Tan's reaction.
Lord Hou's eldest son?Tang Tan looked at him in surprise, from Gu Zhongyan's expression and eyes, he didn't seem to be lying or joking, and then he remembered what Brother Wu had said before, that the eldest son of Changsheng Hou disappeared many years ago.
Uh... it can't really be me... this body, right?
Seeing Tang Tan's obviously astonished and surprised expression, Gu Zhongyan seemed to really not know that this matter would have something to do with him, so he frowned and thought about what went wrong.
Tang Tan recalled the few things Tang Xiu told him about him when he was in the palace before, and only mentioned that he entered the palace in about five or six years, and no one seemed to know about the past before that. people mentioned.
Wen Qiufu's past is like a mystery, buried in the unknown, whether he is the eldest son of the Marquis of Changsheng, and why he concealed these things, no one knows all the reasons, and they all disappeared into the torrent of time with his disappearance.
"So Gu Ye thinks...I am the eldest son of Marquis Changsheng?" Tang Tan asked in an uncertain tone. After seeing Gu Zhongyan staring at him and nodding slowly, he suddenly felt a little headache, and asked again after thinking about it .
"Then, your young master...what's his name?"
"Tang Fu, the Tang who is as big as you, Du Fu's Fu."
Hearing this name, Tang Tan felt that Wen Qiufu was really the son of the Marquis of Changsheng ninety-nine out of ten. Even the pseudonym still kept a character from the original name, and the appearance was the same. It's really hard to believe that it doesn't matter.
If you look at it this way...
"...What's Mrs. Hou's last name?"
This abrupt question made Gu Zhongyan pause, as if a vague answer emerged in his mind, but if possible, he didn't want his conjecture to come true.
"The deceased wife's surname is Wen." When Gu Zhongyan said this answer, he saw Tang Tan's expression of surprise first, then a wry smile, and he was almost sure of the answer.
"Then... how did you determine that I'm your young master? Maybe I'm just a person who looks alike."
Although it was almost certain, Tang Tan still asked with a sense of luck. He only felt that the big cakes that fell from the sky were dry, hard and hard to chew.
This is not a piece of cake, the older and larger the family, the heavier the burden, even if it is supported by such a capable subordinate as Gu Ye.
He just wants to live a normal life in this strange age, and he doesn't want to touch the struggles in the mansion at all.
"When you were in a coma, I washed and changed your clothes. On the collarbone, there was a scar that was exactly the same as the young master. It was the injury you suffered when you climbed up the tree when you were young, and the hip bone also had the same mole as the young master. .”
Gu Zhongyan calmly stated the characteristics of Tang Tan one by one, but it made Tang Tan's heart roar like a galloping horse and wanted to scream.
Mud—horse—no matter how calm and calm he was, he couldn't accept this fact so easily.
When he was in a coma, this man helped him take a bath and wipe his body clean?And why would you, a housekeeper, know that your young master has moles in such a secret place?It took Tang Tan a lot of effort to resist using the legendary Roaring Body.
Should he be shy or should he be shy or should he be shy?Although it's okay to say that the bodies of big men are all looked at, and who hasn't seen others in the group bath when he was a soldier, but the point is still the face of this man!Shouldn't he be thankful that he passed out at the time, or else he might have reacted after being washed by the other party?
Tang Tan, who was leaning against the head of the bed, looked at him for a while before speaking with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"I think...before clarifying whether I am the eldest son of Marquis Changsheng, I have two things to make clear to you first." Tang Tan cleared his throat, his tone was calm but somewhat serious.
"……Please say."
"First, I have no memory of the past... At least, I don't know who I was before this early spring, so I don't know whether I am your young master or not."
Although it was the expected answer, Gu Zhongyan still frowned slightly. After all, amnesia is also a troublesome situation, especially for those guys who are eyeing the property of the Hou Mansion, this is definitely a way for them to sneak in. good chance.
"...This is not a big problem. There are many doctors in the Hou's mansion who are comparable to imperial doctors, and there will always be someone who can cure this disease." Gu Zhongyan replied calmly.
Tang Tan could only smile wryly in his heart, thinking that this "disease" might never be cured, after all, he is not Wen Qiufu at all, but a different person inside!
"Secondly... when I woke up, I was in Prince Xiang's Mansion. The maidservant and the steward in the mansion said that my name was "Wen Qiufu". , Later, because of this, he received the silver payment and left the palace. "
Tang Tan's tone was so indifferent that he seemed to be talking about other people's affairs, but in fact it was true.
If the previous message troubled Gu Zhongyan, then the latter one was a headache. He always had a calm expression before, but now he is staring at Tang Tan with a frown.
"Are you going to be that guy's male favourite?" Gu Zhongyan's voice was an octave lower, it sounded oppressive, and there was clearly visible dissatisfaction in his tone.
The majestic young master of the Changsheng Hou's mansion actually posted himself as King Xiang and was willing to be favored by others... What's so good about King Xiang?
"To be honest, I really don't know. I don't even know what that Prince Xiang looks like now. I haven't seen that prince from the time I woke up until I left the palace. Someone told me about my relationship with him. So I chose to leave the palace and change my name and surname to live."
Gu Zhongyan rubbed his brows with a headache expression, as if he couldn't digest this shocking news for a while, and he couldn't figure out why Tang Tan wanted to tell such a disgraceful past.
"If I am really your young master as you said, and I follow you back, there is a possibility that someone will find out about this matter one day. Instead of giving you a headache at that time, it is better to clarify the matter first, or maybe Don't ask me to go back, when the young master of the Tang family has died."
"Guye, your ability is obvious to all. It seems that you want to take down the Longevity Mansion and support that young master enough to rise to the top, or you..."
"No, that kind of thing is impossible. No matter what, you have to go back. The Marquis of Changsheng Mansion belongs to you. As for the past... I will deal with it." Gu Zhongyan couldn't understand Tang Tan's plan to shake off his hands , although there is a feeling of relief, but more of a headache.
Although I can understand Tang Tan's intentions in telling him this, it is really a big problem, and why are the young masters before or after amnesia so indifferent to the family business of the Marquis of Changsheng?
"...Well, actually, I really don't really want to restore the identity of this young master. No matter whether I have amnesia or not, I will not go back." Tang Tan said helplessly.
Although the relationship between this identity and Gu Zhongyan surprised him a bit, and allowed him to get a little closer to this man who had the same appearance as his lover, but when he thought of the various responsibilities and problems he would have to bear if he accepted that identity, he was disappointed. deterred.
Perhaps obtaining the status of the young master of the Tang family could allow him to get close to the other party, but on the other hand, there were also issues of heirs and major marriages that followed.But he is an out-and-out comrade, he has no feelings for women and it is impossible to have children, and the ancient people paid so much attention to the issue of bloodline continuation, maybe he will be forced to marry a wife once he returns to the Marquis Mansion... He doesn't want to harm others for a lifetime.
And he didn't even want to... see this person by his side, but marry a wife and have children.He would feel that it was like Meng Chaoyin betraying him, which he couldn't bear, and maybe he couldn't help but bend the other party.
But he knew that in this day and age, this man had to get married after all...
"Why?"
This person... can you not ask him why with a serious and serious expression, such a simple question... Tang Tan looked at him helplessly, did he immediately forget all about his last sentence?
"Gu Ye...Although I have lost my memory, I think there is one thing that will not change whether I have lost my memory or not, and that is... I like men, but I can't have feelings for women." Tang Tan Tilting his head and smiling, he looked gentle and soft, but his eyes were unwaveringly calm and firm.
Gu Zhongyan found himself unable to look away, obviously he had seen this face for nearly 20 years, but the young master after amnesia completely overturned everything in his impression.
There is no willfulness, arrogance or unreasonable trouble, and there is a light that seems to see through everything in the gentle and quiet eyes. If the face and body features were not exactly the same as his young master, he would not be able to believe that this person would be Tang Fu.
Because Tang Fu would not think too much about whether he did something, whether it would affect the consequences of other things, and would not think so carefully about whether the dangerous factors in him would affect the entire Marquis Mansion... If If you care, you wouldn't have left the Tang family hastily back then.
Master these past few years... What happened to him?Looking at the indifferent young man in front of him, Gu Zhongyan felt inexplicably distressed.
But what if we go back there?Already... no one will gently wake him up and give him a good morning kiss, and it doesn't make any difference whether he goes back or not.
He comforted himself like this every time, to calm down the feeling of anxiety that he always felt in his dreams at midnight after he came here.
But...Tang Tan, who had to spend a lot of time waking up every day to wake himself up and realize that he is no longer in the reality of the 21st century, after a pause, felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, and then suddenly remembered something. Sitting up, he remembered that he didn't see Tang Xiu when he went home, and then went out to look for it, and then...then he seemed to...see a man with the same appearance as Meng Chaoyin?
Afterwards, he had no memory, and when he opened his eyes, he was in his own room...
Are you dreaming again?
Zhuang Zhou's Mengdie couldn't tell which was a dream and which was reality. Every time he opened his eyes, he had to think hard about where he was, just like the movie "The Matrix" or "Full Start", it seems like a dream but not a dream .Sometimes he would also think, could it be just a dream of him that he was reborn in this era through time travel?
Thinking day by day and dreaming at night, maybe it's just that he misses that person so much that such a daydream appears?Over the past six months or so, I have seen that person come back to me in my dreams countless times, but when I woke up, I found that everything was just my own delusion.
Tang Tan, oh Tang Tan, you really are hopeless.
He couldn't help shaking his head slightly, mocking himself inwardly.
When he pulled off the quilt covering his body and was about to get out of bed, he was slightly startled by the sound of footsteps outside, and frowned slightly.
In this huge house, he and Tang Xiu lived alone, and the sound of these strange footsteps was calm and soft, different from the gentle steps of Tang Xiu's daughter's house...

"Miss Tang has an injury on her foot and it is not suitable for walking. You should rest and recuperate more! I will take care of these trivial matters." The gentle and deep voice slipped into Tang Tan's ears like water, but it made him stiff as if struck by lightning Body, wide-open eyes showing disbelief.
This voice... this voice...isn't he hallucinating?
He thought that he could no longer remember the voice and tone of that person, at most he only remembered his face, so he desperately drew the portrait of that person, fearing that one day he would even forget his appearance.
It's just that when he heard the voice at that time, it still made him tremble all over his body, from the inside to the outside like an electric current, coming from the depths of his body.

He wanted to take a look at the owner of that voice, the urgency and longing made him tremble all over, maybe others could not understand his reaction, but Tang Tan was very clear that it was a kind of despair that he had experienced countless times before, and when he saw some hope, Even if it is weak, I still want to seize that opportunity, even if I know that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
But he thought so, but he didn't move at all, his stiff body couldn't be controlled, and he couldn't even stand up.
While he was hesitating in a daze, the door creaked open, Tang Tan reflexively looked in that direction, but when he saw the backlit figure outside the door, tears burst out of control.
The man standing at the door is wearing a dark green robe. Although the style is simple, it can be seen that the material is quite high-quality. He is not wearing gold or silver, but the hair accessory hanging from his waist and even the head is just a hairband made of the same fabric. It was tied, but even if the clothes were simple, it couldn't hide the dazzling light from the inside to the outside of this man's body.
With his calm, introverted and sleek calm demeanor, coupled with his impeccable appearance, this man is like a top-quality black pearl, without dazzling light, but his existence cannot be ignored.

"Yin..."
Holding the medicinal soup, Gu Zhongyan pushed the door into Tang Tan's room, raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw Tang Tan's reaction, although Tang Tan spoke very softly, almost in his mouth, but he still heard him say what.
He called a stranger's name to himself again instead of his own.
Could it be that there is really another man in this world who is born exactly like himself?
Gu Zhongyan couldn't tell how he felt inside.He didn't miss the strong nostalgia and sadness flashing in the other party's eyes, those eyes were like hands plucking strings, which made his heart tremble.
Unexplainable, unclear way, wrinkled a pool of spring water for no reason.
Originally, he was almost certain that the other party was the person he was looking for, but at this time he was a little shaken.
After that brief gaffe, the young man in front of him pursed his lips and closed his eyes to blink away the tears in his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, the excitement had calmed down, and he looked at Gu Zhong calmly with somewhat strange eyes. Yan, but Gu Zhongyan did not miss the reluctance flashing in his eyes.
"Who... are you? Why did you appear at my house?" Tang Tan asked quietly.
The man with a calm face showed a slightly surprised look, as if he was surprised that he would ask this question. After looking at him for a long time, it seemed that he finally realized a certain fact and frowned slightly.
The man looked at him for a while, then put the tray on the table, and walked towards him with the bowl of medicinal soup.
"Drink the medicine first!" Gu Zhongyan didn't answer his question, but just sat down by the bed.
Seeing his gestures as if he wanted to feed himself medicine, Tang Tan quickly said, "I... just do it myself."
Tang Tan was very unaccustomed to being served and drank medicine, especially in the few months before Meng Chaoyin left, he mostly fed him medicine by himself, and sometimes even Meng Chaoyin couldn't stand vomiting shortly after swallowing the medicine In the later stage, he could only take nutritional supplements, and he was so haggard that he couldn't help hiding in the toilet and crying secretly every day when Meng Chaoyin was asleep.
So when the person in front of him made this kind of action, he couldn't help crying secretly in his heart.
When I looked at this person so closely, I realized that the other person was exactly the same as Meng Chaoyin to the point that even he, who had been beside him for many years, was astonished.
He couldn't help lowering his eyes, and didn't dare to look any further, for he was afraid that he would have any strange reactions and actions.
It's just that although he wanted to drink the medicine by himself, the man refused to pass it to him and insisted on feeding him spoonful by spoonful. Tang Tan, who didn't want to have any conflict with the other party, had no choice but to let the man feed the medicine like a child. , although he felt that he was not sick or in pain at all, but fell into the water and passed out for a while...
After drinking the bowl of terribly bitter medicine, Tang Tan subconsciously clicked his tongue, trying to swallow the bitterness in his mouth, but the next second he was fooled by the sweet and sour fairy hawthorn ball that was suddenly stuffed into his mouth Dazed for a moment, he stared blankly at the man who stuffed candy into his mouth with a calm face, the lips seemed to still have the temperature from the other party touching him, which made him tremble slightly.
A being that is alive, not just a dream or fantasy.
"So, can this young master answer the question I just asked?" Tang Tan bit the fairy hawthorn into pieces, and after the sweetness spread in his mouth to get rid of the bitterness, he returned to the question just now.
Gu Zhongyan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him, and he also looked back inexplicably, but in the end he couldn't help but look away because the other's face was too much like a lover.
"Gu Zhongyan, my name."
The man's neutral tone made Tang Tan unable to react for a moment, but felt that the name sounded familiar... Wait, isn't this name the name of the old man that Senior Brother Wu said?Could it be that he is really that old man?
"...That, Lord Gu?" Tang Tan suddenly remembered the day when Gu Zhongyan first came to Hangzhou a few days ago, when he saw his back, he had a sense of familiarity and then remembered Meng Chaoyin, and suddenly realized.
It turned out that it wasn't because I thought too much, but because this person was born with the same appearance and voice as his lover.
Hearing that he called himself "Gu Ye" like everyone else, Gu Zhongyan frowned slightly, and there seemed to be some deep meaning that Tang Tan couldn't express in his eyes, as if he was saying that his reaction should not be like this, and he should not only In this way, there was a soft "hmm" sound.
... Really?However, why did this person appear here? He hasn't answered himself yet, has he?Although the other party's appearance made him unable to defend against him at all, he still hadn't forgotten that "Gu Zhongyan" was his current bread and butter.
"You fell into the water, I will rescue you from the river and send you back." Gu Zhongyan said in a flat tone, and solved Tang Tan's problem with a few simple words.
When he said this, Tang Tan vaguely remembered that he saw Gu Zhongyan standing at the other end before going up the bridge, lost his mind for a moment, and then was pushed and fell into the water, and saw that face seemed to call Meng Chaoyin's name in a daze.
"So that's how it is... so small, I thank Gu Ye for saving my life here." Tang Tan suddenly realized and nodded, unfamiliar and polite.
Although he didn't want to show such an attitude in his heart, he still told himself rationally that this person is not Meng Chaoyin. Even if it is possible that the soul is Meng Chaoyin, as long as there is no memory of his love with Meng Chaoyin, it is not completely counted. It is impossible to rashly make some extraordinary moves.
"You don't have to call yourself "little" like that, I'm not a big man, I'm just a helper. "Gu Zhongyan didn't seem very happy when he heard his self-proclaimed.
Tang Tan blinked in surprise at Gu Zhongyan's gentle and unassuming speech. Even the head manager of Xiangwang's mansion had a somewhat condescending attitude unconsciously. Those who hold more real power in the Hou's Mansion, but Director Bi De can see clearly.
"Ah, look at me, I'm so confused... After talking so much, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Tang Tan, Tang from Great Tang, short-lived Tan."
Tang Tan suddenly realized that he wanted someone to report his name, but Tang Tan seemed to have forgotten about it. He fell into the water... How did this man know where he lived and sent him back?It stands to reason that they should be strangers to each other, right?Did he already know who he was?
"I know." The man still didn't change his expression, he paused for a while, before even Tang Tan was surprised why he knew, he added another sentence. "Deputy Manager Shu has said something."
Deputy Manager Shu... Tang Tan blinked, thinking hard about who this person is, he doesn't seem to know this person.
"Deputy Manager Shu is the person you handed the elixir of immortality to him that day." Probably seeing Tang Tan's confusion, Gu Zhongyan added another sentence, which made the appearance of that young man quickly appear in Tang Tan's mind .
So that's the case...then he wasn't surprised at all that his message included his name and where he lived, and the other party would know it. It's probably because after he handed over the things, this ancient master asked someone to investigate with some inquiring mind. yourself?Even if the ancients were not as well-informed as the modern people, it should not be a problem to some extent.
Even if we can't find the information before "Tang Tan", at least we should know his current residence or something.What's more, he is still a boy in the pharmacy, maybe this man still observes him secretly, so as to make sure that he is not in the same gang as the thief.
"He also said that you didn't ask us for any conditions."
Hearing this, Tang Tan looked at him in surprise, but immediately understood why he would say this.
Although there has been a saying since ancient times that there is no shame in picking up money, but how many people can really do it without asking for any price at all?Who doesn't hope that the loser can give back with a bit of luck.
"I don't have anything to ask for... Besides... even if I want something, it doesn't mean that I can get it by asking, so why ask for it?" Tang Tan lowered his eyes and said calmly.
What he wanted most...God brought it to him in the dark, but he couldn't eat it.
This man is not something he can get when he says he wants it.
To the man at this time, he should be just a stranger, right?The most familiar stranger!
He spoke plainly and didn't care, but Gu Zhongyan could hear some loss and pain from his plainness, for some reason, it also made his chest feel unspeakably stuffy.
What can't you get?Gu Zhongyan found himself wanting to know.
"What do you want?" He couldn't help but ask.
When Tang Tan heard his question, he raised his eyes and looked at him for a few seconds before showing a slightly sentimental expression and shaking his head lightly to express that it was unnecessary.
"No need, since Gu Ye saved my life, don't we owe each other?" Tang Tan obviously wanted to let this matter go without mentioning it, but Gu Zhongyan frowned because of his words. Pursing her lips, she looked at him thoughtfully.
...Why on earth does this person always look at him with such strange eyes?He believed that the other party would never have the memory of Meng Chaoyin, otherwise he would not have looked at him with such eyes, but if the other party did not know him before this... Tang Tan paused and frowned slightly.
Could it be that this person is the dead Wen Qiufu...someone he knew?
It can't be such a coincidence, can it?
If Wen Qiufu really knew this person but was with that King Xiang...he would say, this Wen Qiufu's vision is really not very good, and he would abandon this beautiful man in front of him and choose a philandering prince. My own life is gone.
"Gu Ye?" Seeing the other party staring at him, Tang Tan asked uncomfortably. After all, he was being stared at by a man who looked exactly like his lover, and it was a lie to say that he didn't feel it.
"You...you look like the person I'm looking for." Gu Zhongyan's abrupt opening made Tang Tan startled.
Could it be such a coincidence?Tang Tan cast a look full of question marks, waiting for him to continue.
"The eldest son of Lord Hou, his whereabouts are unknown after he left the mansion seven years ago. We have been looking for the whereabouts of the young master for the past few years, but he seems to have evaporated, and there is no news of him." Gu Zhongyan no longer He dragged his feet, and simply said something, while carefully observing Tang Tan's reaction.
Lord Hou's eldest son?Tang Tan looked at him in surprise, from Gu Zhongyan's expression and eyes, he didn't seem to be lying or joking, and then he remembered what Brother Wu had said before, that the eldest son of Changsheng Hou disappeared many years ago.
Uh... it can't really be me... this body, right?
Seeing Tang Tan's obviously astonished and surprised expression, Gu Zhongyan seemed to really not know that this matter would have something to do with him, so he frowned and thought about what went wrong.
Tang Tan recalled the few things Tang Xiu told him about him when he was in the palace before, and only mentioned that he entered the palace in about five or six years, and no one seemed to know about the past before that. people mentioned.
Wen Qiufu's past is like a mystery, buried in the unknown, whether he is the eldest son of the Marquis of Changsheng, and why he concealed these things, no one knows all the reasons, and they all disappeared into the torrent of time with his disappearance.
"So Gu Ye thinks...I am the eldest son of Marquis Changsheng?" Tang Tan asked in an uncertain tone. After seeing Gu Zhongyan staring at him and nodding slowly, he suddenly felt a little headache, and asked again after thinking about it .
"Then, your young master...what's his name?"
"Tang Fu, the Tang who is as big as you, Du Fu's Fu."
Hearing this name, Tang Tan felt that Wen Qiufu was really the son of the Marquis of Changsheng ninety-nine out of ten. Even the pseudonym still kept a character from the original name, and the appearance was the same. It's really hard to believe that it doesn't matter.
If you look at it this way...
"...What's Mrs. Hou's last name?"
This abrupt question made Gu Zhongyan pause, as if a vague answer emerged in his mind, but if possible, he didn't want his conjecture to come true.
"The deceased wife's surname is Wen." When Gu Zhongyan said this answer, he saw Tang Tan's expression of surprise first, then a wry smile, and he was almost sure of the answer.
"Then... how did you determine that I'm your young master? Maybe I'm just a person who looks alike."
Although it was almost certain, Tang Tan still asked with a sense of luck. He only felt that the big cakes that fell from the sky were dry, hard and hard to chew.
This is not a piece of cake, the older and larger the family, the heavier the burden, even if it is supported by such a capable subordinate as Gu Ye.
He just wants to live a normal life in this strange age, and he doesn't want to touch the struggles in the mansion at all.
"When you were in a coma, I washed and changed your clothes. On the collarbone, there was a scar that was exactly the same as the young master. It was the injury you suffered when you climbed up the tree when you were young, and the hip bone also had the same mole as the young master. .”
Gu Zhongyan calmly stated the characteristics of Tang Tan one by one, but it made Tang Tan's heart roar like a galloping horse and wanted to scream.
Mud—horse—no matter how calm and calm he was, he couldn't accept this fact so easily.
When he was in a coma, this man helped him take a bath and wipe his body clean?And why would you, a housekeeper, know that your young master has moles in such a secret place?It took Tang Tan a lot of effort to resist using the legendary Roaring Body.
Should he be shy or should he be shy or should he be shy?Although it's okay to say that the bodies of big men are all looked at, and who hasn't seen others in the group bath when he was a soldier, but the point is still the face of this man!Shouldn't he be thankful that he passed out at the time, or else he might have reacted after being washed by the other party?
Tang Tan, who was leaning against the head of the bed, looked at him for a while before speaking with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"I think...before clarifying whether I am the eldest son of Marquis Changsheng, I have two things to make clear to you first." Tang Tan cleared his throat, his tone was calm but somewhat serious.
"……Please say."
"First, I have no memory of the past... At least, I don't know who I was before this early spring, so I don't know whether I am your young master or not."
Although it was the expected answer, Gu Zhongyan still frowned slightly. After all, amnesia is also a troublesome situation, especially for those guys who are eyeing the property of the Hou Mansion, this is definitely a way for them to sneak in. good chance.
"...This is not a big problem. There are many doctors in the Hou's mansion who are comparable to imperial doctors, and there will always be someone who can cure this disease." Gu Zhongyan replied calmly.
Tang Tan could only smile wryly in his heart, thinking that this "disease" might never be cured, after all, he is not Wen Qiufu at all, but a different person inside!
"Secondly... when I woke up, I was in Prince Xiang's Mansion. The maidservant and the steward in the mansion said that my name was "Wen Qiufu". , Later, because of this, he received the silver payment and left the palace. "
Tang Tan's tone was so indifferent that he seemed to be talking about other people's affairs, but in fact it was true.
If the previous message troubled Gu Zhongyan, then the latter one was a headache. He always had a calm expression before, but now he is staring at Tang Tan with a frown.
"Are you going to be that guy's male favourite?" Gu Zhongyan's voice was an octave lower, it sounded oppressive, and there was clearly visible dissatisfaction in his tone.
The majestic young master of the Changsheng Hou's mansion actually posted himself as King Xiang and was willing to be favored by others... What's so good about King Xiang?
"To be honest, I really don't know. I don't even know what that Prince Xiang looks like now. I haven't seen that prince from the time I woke up until I left the palace. Someone told me about my relationship with him. So I chose to leave the palace and change my name and surname to live."
Gu Zhongyan rubbed his brows with a headache expression, as if he couldn't digest this shocking news for a while, and he couldn't figure out why Tang Tan wanted to tell such a disgraceful past.
"If I am really your young master as you said, and I follow you back, there is a possibility that someone will find out about this matter one day. Instead of giving you a headache at that time, it is better to clarify the matter first, or maybe Don't ask me to go back, when the young master of the Tang family has died."
"Guye, your ability is obvious to all. It seems that you want to take down the Longevity Mansion and support that young master enough to rise to the top, or you..."
"No, that kind of thing is impossible. No matter what, you have to go back. The Marquis of Changsheng Mansion belongs to you. As for the past... I will deal with it." Gu Zhongyan couldn't understand Tang Tan's plan to shake off his hands , although there is a feeling of relief, but more of a headache.
Although I can understand Tang Tan's intentions in telling him this, it is really a big problem, and why are the young masters before or after amnesia so indifferent to the family business of the Marquis of Changsheng?
"...Well, actually, I really don't really want to restore the identity of this young master. No matter whether I have amnesia or not, I will not go back." Tang Tan said helplessly.
Although the relationship between this identity and Gu Zhongyan surprised him a bit, and allowed him to get a little closer to this man who had the same appearance as his lover, but when he thought of the various responsibilities and problems he would have to bear if he accepted that identity, he was disappointed. deterred.
Perhaps obtaining the status of the young master of the Tang family could allow him to get close to the other party, but on the other hand, there were also issues of heirs and major marriages that followed.But he is an out-and-out comrade, he has no feelings for women and it is impossible to have children, and the ancient people paid so much attention to the issue of bloodline continuation, maybe he will be forced to marry a wife once he returns to the Marquis Mansion... He doesn't want to harm others for a lifetime.
And he didn't even want to... see this person by his side, but marry a wife and have children.He would feel that it was like Meng Chaoyin betraying him, which he couldn't bear, and maybe he couldn't help but bend the other party.
But he knew that in this day and age, this man had to get married after all...
"Why?"
This person... can you not ask him why with a serious and serious expression, such a simple question... Tang Tan looked at him helplessly, did he immediately forget all about his last sentence?
"Gu Ye...Although I have lost my memory, I think there is one thing that will not change whether I have lost my memory or not, and that is... I like men, but I can't have feelings for women." Tang Tan Tilting his head and smiling, he looked gentle and soft, but his eyes were unwaveringly calm and firm.
Gu Zhongyan found himself unable to look away, obviously he had seen this face for nearly 20 years, but the young master after amnesia completely overturned everything in his impression.
There is no willfulness, arrogance or unreasonable trouble, and there is a light that seems to see through everything in the gentle and quiet eyes. If the face and body features were not exactly the same as his young master, he would not be able to believe that this person would be Tang Fu.
Because Tang Fu would not think too much about whether he did something, whether it would affect the consequences of other things, and would not think so carefully about whether the dangerous factors in him would affect the entire Marquis Mansion... If If you care, you wouldn't have left the Tang family hastily back then.
Master these past few years... What happened to him?Looking at the indifferent young man in front of him, Gu Zhongyan felt inexplicably distressed.
