Song and Tang Youyan

In the dream, I seemed to have experienced many things, such as drowning, family ruin, and the desperate man kneeling on the ground crying like me but not like me.

It was only after I shouted that I was brought back to reality. I barely opened my heavy eyelids, and my back was always aching. What caught my eye was Gu Yin's unadorned and clean look.

He looked anxious, "You, are you alright? Are you feeling better?" He looked as if he was caring for his wife who was recovering from a serious illness.

I said hoarsely, "I feel better, but why are you here? And how long have I been in a coma? Where's Zhang Xinqing?"

He lowered his eyes, "I'm afraid that your life is in danger, so naturally I don't dare to make further progress. You have been in a coma for two days."

I nodded knowingly, but found that it was not in my house, I asked aloud, "Where am I?"

He continued, "In my house, three imperial doctors were invited to treat you before you were rescued. Don't you know that you are weak? You dare to go into battle with bare hands."

I smiled, "Isn't this an emergency situation, and I have to do it out of desperation."

He shook his head, turned around and went out, leaving a sentence, "Just keep it here first, don't get wet, change the medicine on time, follow the doctor's advice, don't mess around, if you need anything, just tell the servants." Before answering anything, he disappeared.

I thought that my mother would have servants who would take good care of me at home, so I was relieved, I really had to eat and drink at his house for a while, except for the imperial doctor who would come to check on my condition in time during the day, No one disturbed me, and I never saw Gu Yin, except one day when I was walking in the back garden and ran into his old mother, his old mother asked me, "What do you remember when you were injured this time?" She was asking if I would remember his son Gu Yin's care for me, and I immediately replied with a sweet smile, "Of course I will remember brother Gu Yin's care for me, and I will definitely thank him when I have the opportunity in the future!" She After listening to my answer, he sighed and left.I stayed where I was, although I was very curious, but because Gu Yin was not at the house, I had no one to ask, so I had no choice but to give up.

It was estimated that after half a month, he finally came back. He entered the door with a tired look, rubbing his brows and sitting on the wooden chair. When he saw me, he just said without raising his head, "Since You have recovered from your illness, so go home early, lest your mother be worried."

I never thought that I would not see you for a long time, and the first thing I said when I saw me was to drive me home. Suddenly something flashed in my head, but I couldn’t remember anything. It's his time.

I turned around to pack my things, but I thought that all my food and clothing these days belonged to him, including the clothes I was wearing today.I arched my body and saluted, "Thank you Brother Gu for taking care of me these days, I will send a servant to return the clothes after washing, and I will leave."

"Wait, there's no need to send the clothes back. This is your size. It's useless for me to keep it. If you don't like it, just throw it away."

I darkened my eyes, "Okay."

Turned around and walked out without looking back.

After I left, his old mother walked into his room, sat down and sighed, "Oh, you said, what are you trying to do for him?"

"I did it, his body can no longer bear the second blow."

The old mother sighed again, "Okay... I can't control you anymore, since you like it, then go ahead and do it. I'm getting old, and I have to live a stable life for two days." After speaking, she stood up and stretched her waist , lifted his foot and walked out.

Walking to the threshold, the person on the chair whispered, "Thank you, mother." The footsteps on the threshold stopped, a smile appeared on the vicissitudes of life, and then he walked out.

I just got home, but the servant at home didn't say a word of greeting, as if he knew why I had disappeared for so many days, I grabbed a servant who was cleaning, and was about to ask if there was any major event happening in the house recently Suddenly, there was the sound of dishes breaking from the mother's room, and then a servant girl ran out in a hurry, yelling, "Madam is awake, Madam is awake!"

My mind buzzed, and my legs rushed into the room faster than my mind.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw my mother was really sitting on the bed, but she might have been in a coma for many days, her eyes were still blurred, her complexion was not very good, and she looked dry.

As soon as she saw me, she pounced on me with strength from nowhere, but her tone couldn't hide her panic, "Tang'er, who are these? Why haven't I seen them before? Where is my girl, Lian'er? Your father What about Qinger and them?"

I caught her, and replied in a gentle voice, "Father and elder brother have gone out to do business and haven't returned home yet, Lian'er has never heard of this name."

She looked at me with disbelief in her eyes, and pushed me away, "What are you talking about? Lian'er is the nurse who raised you up! How come you have no impression of her? You are not my son , who are you? Go away! My eldest son and my husband are both good officials in the court, and Tang'er is also very gentle and refined, and he speaks eloquently. How can you be like this!"

My brain hurt for a moment, but I still held my mother in my arms, "Mother, take a good look at me, I'm really Tang'er."

She turned her eyes stiffly, and looked at me intently, "Tang'er, you, how could you even remember your father and your elder brother wrongly? They are all good officials who benefit the people!"

In order to stabilize her mood, I can only say along the way, "I remembered, I remembered, just now you finally woke up, I was excited and made a mistake, why don't you take a rest first, after sleeping for so long, I Go ask the doctor to show you."

She just nodded and lay down quietly on the bed obediently.

I knew that someone must be hiding something from me.

When he went out, he grabbed a maid and asked casually, "Where's Lian'er? Why didn't Madam come over after she woke up? I'm afraid Madam treated her too well in the past and put on airs?"

The maid faltered and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Miss Lian'er went out to buy something, it's really a coincidence that the young master asked."

I pretended to be furious, "You are lying, there is no such person as Lian Er in this family, what are you guys hiding from me!"

With a plop, she knelt down and kowtowed to me, "Master, it's...it's not that we concealed it from you, we too...it's...someone paid to do this errand, and they didn't know about the concealment you said Ah, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me, lord."

"Tell me, who is the master who hired you?"

But she refused to speak, and just said, "Our master won't let us tell the truth, and just said that those things have violated the agreement, so please be merciful, sir, and let us live."

I put my hands behind my back and felt even more annoyed, "Okay, since you refuse to say, he must have hired you to take care of me, but if I die here today, I'm afraid you will be inseparable! Say it or not explain?"

When she heard this, she kowtowed even harder, "Young master, you must not force it. That lord is hiding it from you for your own good. It's better not to threaten with your life. It's difficult for others."

"You don't want to say yes no matter what, then, well, I will end my life here." After speaking, he made a gesture to hit the wall.

She jumped up and hugged my leg, "Master Gu, who hired us, as I said, don't be impulsive, my lord."

I asked uncertainly, "But Gu Yin and Gu Mengyan?"

She lay on the ground, not daring to raise her head, "Exactly."

My mind was even more confused, why were the people in my house hired by Gu Yin?What on earth is he trying to do?Intuitively, I feel that the answers to the questions I want can be found in him.

Immediately got on his horse and headed to Gu Mansion again.

When I arrived, I couldn't believe it. The Gu Mansion, which usually only had two faded lanterns outside the gate, was decorated with lights and banners, and it was very beautiful.

I walked in, and a young servant who looked familiar to me immediately came over, "Young Master, you are looking for Mr. Gu, he is in the study, you can just go in and look for him."

I grabbed his arm and asked, "Is there any happy event for this festooned lantern?"

He smiled and said, "Oh, this, but the royal marriage bestowed by the emperor himself, soon, Gu's mansion is about to welcome the mistress, so naturally we have to tidy it up, but Mrs. Gu hasn't been very good recently Looking happy, I have been staying in the study and haven't seen him come out."

Before he could finish speaking, I left him, went straight to his study, opened the door and entered.

He didn't expect it to be me, and he didn't raise his head, "I said I don't need the meal, so take it out."

"It's me." Hearing my voice, he raised his head abruptly, his eyes obviously showed joy and some deep affection that I couldn't understand, but it was only for a moment, then he lowered his head again, his tone was always cold, "How did you come."

I walked up to him in a few steps, and slapped the table with my palm, "Don't you have anything to tell me? The maid in my house has already said, what are you hiding from me?"

He was obviously taken aback, and the hand holding the brush stopped writing. The ink soaked through the rice paper in an instant, and smudged a large area around him.

He took away the broken piece of rice paper, laid it on a new one, pretended to be nonchalant, raised his pen and continued to write, while saying, "Of course I care about you, so I specially selected a few people who are diligent and efficient, The clever maids and servants can take good care of you."

I smiled, "Take care of me? Do you know? My mother woke up. Judging from her performance, it's definitely not as simple as you said."

He smiled wryly, "I've been hiding it for so long, I thought I could keep it like this forever, but now it seems that I can't hide it anymore." He stopped writing, looked up at me, half of his face was hidden in the darkness, but the affection in his eyes was not half "I told you it's okay, but you promise me, after you know it, don't be impulsive, let alone degenerate from now on."

I wholeheartedly pursued the truth, so naturally I agreed to any conditions, and said yes firmly.
