A thousand years

Take care of your home.

Wu Ma sat on the stool and bent over to pick vegetables. Although she had worked in the Gu family for so many years and now that she was old, she didn't need to do many things by herself, but Wu Ma felt that after working hard all her life, if she didn't Do something, this old bone, I'm afraid it will be rusted and unable to move.

Xiao Li squatted in front of Mama Wu, helping her out. The little girl was still innocent after all, her face couldn't hide her thoughts, but within half an hour, she had already raised her head countless times, and stopped talking countless times.

Seeing it in her eyes, Wu Ma sighed deeply and put down the vegetable leaves in her hand.

"If you want to say something, just say it, there is no need to hesitate in front of me, an old woman."

Hearing this, Xiao Li couldn't help trembling all over, bit his lower lip, remained silent for a moment, and finally raised his head to look at Mama Wu.

"Wu Ma, you said that the young master and the young master... really have that kind of relationship?"

It has been nearly a month since Gu Huai and Gu Ruofan have not returned home.

Normally, as long as Gu Ruofan was at home, Gu Huai would always come back earlier, and in the eyes of these servants, Gu Ruofan was almost their savior.

Gu Huai was indifferent, rejecting people thousands of miles away.

As long as he is at home, even if he doesn't do anything, the servants will be trembling.

However, when Gu Ruofan was at home, everyone could tell that Gu Huai would look much softer.

Thinking back and forth, plus the big turmoil in the Gu family before, and the time when An Yarong sighed and couldn't see a smile... Xiao Li has been thinking about it for a long time.

"Who did you hear?"

Wu Ma frowned, stared at Xiao Li closely, and asked with some displeasure.

"The other servants are talking about it." She pouted and replied aggrievedly.

"Mother Wu, actually, I think it would be great if it was the young master..." Xiao Li lowered his head, tearing the moss in his hand, and said in a low voice, as if he was talking to himself.

"I used to think that the young master was too scary, and he would never show his expression... But the young master seems to be very powerful, as if he can solve everything, and he is handsome."

Xiao Li sighed and lowered his head, "I used to think that no one is worthy of the young master."

"But now think about it, the eldest young master is so indifferent to the young young master. When you see him, that feeling..." Xiao Li pulled his hair, trying to think of what adjectives to use to describe it.

The girl's eyes lit up suddenly.

"Gentleness! It's gentleness!"

The girl suddenly raised her voice, but Mama Wu stopped her abruptly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can you talk about these things?"

Seeing the expression on Xiao Li's face suddenly paused, and he closed his mouth awkwardly, Wu Ma sighed deeply again, and lowered her voice helplessly.

"You go out, I can do things here by myself."

When Xiao Li walked out, Mama Wu also stopped moving.

The young master is so indifferent, but he treats the young master...

What the girl said just now lingered in Mama Wu's mind.

sigh deeply.

After staying in the Gu family for so many years, almost all of Gu Huai and Gu Ruofan were brought up by her own eyes.

Gu Huai is unkind, outstanding and indifferent. Mama Wu used to be secretly worried, who would be able to walk into his heart with such a child in the future?

As for Gu Ruofan, he was gentle and well-behaved, smart and kind, and Gu Huai's personality was almost two completely opposite extremes.

However, Gu Huai has put such a child who has no blood relationship with him in the Gu family for so many years, keeping it in his heart, caring for him carefully, and not allowing him to slack off in the slightest.

men in love...

Wu Ma looked at the floor, and a wetness flashed in her old eyes.

Although she is old, she can't understand many things.How can two men love each other

But it is obviously not possible, why when I saw the young master being beaten while protecting the young master, and saw the young master standing in front of the Patriarch and saying that I want to be with my brother.

In her heart, would she feel so unbearable?

"Mother Wu, let's make a white jade soup today." An Yarong walked into the kitchen. The woman who used to be radiant in the past looked a little haggard at the moment, sighed, and her eyes were a little dazed.

In the past, Gu Ruofan always liked to pester himself.

"Mom, I want to eat the white jade soup made by Wu Ma, I want to die!"

And now...

An Yarong's voice reached her ears, and Wu Ma was taken aback for a moment, she quickly raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and said yes repeatedly.

"White jade soup... the young master likes to eat the white jade soup I made..."

The old man was talking to himself unconsciously, but An Yarong gave a sudden pause.

The woman turned her head and looked at Mama Wu.

"Mother Wu, Xiaofan hasn't come back for a long time, do you miss him?"

Mama Wu froze and turned around slowly.

"Ma'am, the young master is so good, I must miss him. How about you, do you miss him?"

An Yarong took a deep breath, a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes.

"I thought...how could I miss him?"

"Forget it, don't make white jade soup today, I don't have much appetite, I can't eat anything." Waving her hand, An Yarong was about to turn around and leave.

"Ma'am, the children and grandchildren have their own blessings, as long as they are happy, why must the children be forced to come to this point?"

Wu Ma's voice came from behind An Yarong, and the woman paused slightly, but she never answered.

When Gu Shengjie returned home, he walked around and did not see An Yarong.

"Where's Madam? Where did you go?"

"Madam said to go out for a walk and come back later."

Gu Shengjie nodded, loosened his tie, and went upstairs.

In the past few days, An Yarong's mood was almost on the verge of collapse, and she was moaning and sighing every day, and there were hardly any smiling faces.

If she is willing to go out and relax, Gu Shengjie is also happy to see her.

When An Yarong came back, the expression on the woman's face was not at all relaxed, and even seemed more gloomy than before she went out.

Take a deep breath and walk into the study.

"Sheng Jie, are you free now? I have something to tell you."

Gu Shengjie put down the documents in his hand, stood up and stared at his wife.

"Didn't you go out to relax? Why are you still moaning?"

Avoiding Gu Shengjie's outstretched hand, An Yarong walked straight to the sofa facing him and sat down.

"I went to the old Wu's house that you said last time." Taking a deep breath, An Yarong raised her head and looked at Gu Shengjie and said.

After realizing what his wife was about to say next, Gu Shengjie's face darkened, he looked at An Yarong and said in a deep voice:

"and then?"

Hearing Gu Shengjie's question, An Yarong suddenly paused for three seconds.

Taking a deep breath, the woman's eyes instantly turned red.

Looking at her husband, An Yarong spoke slowly with a trembling voice: "The son of their family who eloped with a man... committed suicide a few days ago..."

Saying this sentence, almost exhausted all the strength in An Yarong's body, the woman covered her face and burst into tears.

"Sheng Jie, I beg you...I beg you, I don't want to have a grandson anymore, I just want my son to be good...I beg you, can't you?"

The woman choked up, trembling, looked up at her husband, feeling like a knife was twisting her heart.

"Ah Huai would rather give up everything to be with Xiaofan. You don't know how heartbroken I am when I see him washing someone else's car."

"Although Xiaofan is not our own... But people's hearts are made of flesh. After so many years, Sheng Jie, don't you feel bad?"

Holding his wife's shoulders, Gu Shengjie's arms trembled uncontrollably.

How could he not feel distressed?

But he can't.

Can't feel bad.

"We take care of our family and absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen."

Closed his eyes slightly, and tightened his grip on his wife, Gu Shengjie clenched his fists and said, "Ah Huai, he is from the Gu family!"

With just such a sentence, the excited An Yarong collapsed instantly.

The woman stood up abruptly and pointed at Gu Shengjie.

"Gu family?"

"Is the honor of the family comparable to the happiness of two children?"

"Do you know, I'm going to Wu's house today..." An Yarong took a deep breath and calmed down, "I saw Lao Wu and his wife in a big empty house, only the two of them were sitting on the sofa, what? Without saying a word, just sitting face to face..."

"Sheng Jie, I don't want to become like this one day..."

"Ya Rong, you know, Ah Huai and the others will definitely not be like the children of Old Wu's family."

Gu Shengjie's voice was painful, but it carried a heavy, almost cruel calmness.

An Yarong suddenly raised her head and stared closely at her husband.

The heart in the chest was beating crazily, but the head was unexpectedly awake.

"I know they won't. Ah Huai is my child, I know him well, not only he can't, Xiaofan can't either."

"But I am more afraid that my son will experience the pain of not being blessed in his long life!"

An Yarong vented all the sadness, confusion, pain, and depression that had been suppressed in her heart for nearly a month.

After yelling these words, the woman fell down on the sofa as if all her strength had been taken away.

"In the past, we were always worried about what kind of girl would be worthy of a child like Ah Huai." An Yarong cried and laughed, with half struggle and half pain in her eyes, "But we never expected, never expected Thinking that the person he fell in love with was Xiaofan..."

"Sheng Jie...I hope my two sons have wives and children..."

"I've figured it out now, even if I don't have a wife or a child...I don't want to lose my son!"

"Are you crazy? If this matter gets out, our Gu family will be the biggest joke in City A tomorrow!" Gu Shengjie grabbed the wife who was going to find Mr. Gu, and shouted in a low voice.

"You are crazy!" Looking at her husband with red eyes, "The family's reputation, my son, I choose my son!"

s city

Looking at the young man who had already fallen asleep, Gu Huai lowered his head and kissed him lightly on the forehead, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Walking to the balcony, the man took out his mobile phone, pressed a few numbers, and put it to his ear.

The call was quickly connected.

"Have you done your job?"

When Li Xin received the call, she immediately straightened her back, her eyes froze, and she quickly replied: "I have already followed the boss's order."

After a slight pause, Gu Huai raised his head and looked at the dark blue sky outside the balcony.

"My mother...what's her reaction?"

"The Wu family said according to the young master's account. After Madam left, she seemed very sad. After she went back, she stayed in the study alone with Mr. Gu for a long time. When she came out again, she asked the driver to take her off. Went to the old house."

Gu Huai chuckled lightly, holding the phone, "Do you want to ask me why the Wu family lost a son, but they are still willing to follow my advice and play this play with my mother?"

Li Xin was silent.

"To be honest, I have no sympathy for their son who committed suicide..." Gu Huai shook his head slightly, with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes, "I have no sympathy at all."

"Weak and incompetent things can't even protect their own lives, so what qualifications do they have to protect the ones they love?"

"The reason why the Wu family will cooperate with me in performing this play in front of my mother," the man's face was shrouded in bright or dark light and shadow, he couldn't see clearly, but he could vaguely see that he was smiling, "It's nothing more than what I ordered. The price...is enough to attract them."

Li Xin's heart moved, "But I don't think the grief in their eyes seems to be staged."

"Of course it wasn't for a show."

"No matter what, my only son died, no matter what they do, they will... definitely be sad in their hearts."

Gu Huai sighed softly, "But Li Xin, you need to know one thing."

"Boss, what's the matter?"

"That's human nature."

"The Wu family is certainly saddened by Wu Peng's suicide, but the wealthy family has no family... Everyone is already dead. If it is because of him, it will add a stain to the family's reputation. Do you think it is worth it or not?"

"I can help them cover up this matter, and I can also support Wu's enterprise that is now crumbling. How can you say they would refuse?"

"It's just to play this play in front of my mother, and there is no loss. Besides... just like you said, their sadness is not because I gave them a bargaining chip, but they are really sad, aren't they?" ?”

"Boss, why are you..." After hesitating for a moment, Li Xin asked, "How do you know that Madam's attitude will be relaxed after going to Wu's house?"

Gu Huai shook his head.

"I'm not a god, how would I know?"

The man smiled wryly, "I'm just used to it, and I'm ready for everything."

"Xiaofan's biggest wish is to get the approval of his parents. And my mother's side... is always the easiest to do."

"By the way, as for my grandfather, let's put pressure on him too." Looking back at the young man lying soundly asleep on the bed in the room, Gu Huai's dark eyes suddenly became firm.

"I think... the ordinary life during this period is almost done. People, if you want to protect the people you cherish, you must have rights in your hands."

Recently, Gu Ruofan has often dreamed about things from his previous life.

He dreamed of the happiest and carefree time when he was with Gu Huai.

With eyes slightly closed, Gu Ruofan moved his stiff body a bit. Just as Gu Ruofan was about to reach for the book, he touched something warm and soft.

"Ruofan, are you awake?"

The young emperor grabbed Gu Ruofan's outstretched hand, propped up half of his body, leaned close to Gu Ruofan's side and looked at him, his black eyes were burning, shining with the gentleness and patience that would never appear in front of him.

Gu Ruofan was taken aback for a moment.

If he remembers correctly... Gu Huai stayed late at the Yizheng Hall last night, so he didn't even feel sleepy, thinking that there were still a few volumes to read, so he simply stayed up all night to finish reading it.

Why did you wake up and be in bed?

Understanding the doubt in Gu Ruofan's eyes, Gu Huai shook his head slightly, and knocked the man on the head with some displeasure.

"I came back last night and saw you fell asleep lying on the table. It's almost winter, and the stove in the temple hasn't been delivered yet, so just sleep on the table like this. If you catch a cold, you'll arrive Don't blame me for forcing you to drink medicine."

"What time is it now, Your Majesty doesn't have to go to the morning court?"

Gu Huai leaned very close, the unique smell from the man's body, and the warm breath from his breath spread to Gu Ruofan's nose, for some reason, he felt a little dry and hot.

He stepped back a little, looked at Gu Huai and asked, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid it will be late in the morning?"

Gu Huai smiled, and pulled the man into his arms.

"Don't call me Your Majesty, call me Ah Huai." With a punitive tap on Gu Ruofan's head, Gu Huai just smiled and said, "The morning morning is already over."

Fu forehead, sigh.Gu Ruofan secretly cursed in his heart, how long did he sleep for?

Gu Huai quietly watched Gu Ruofan's expression change, and saw that the man who was always gentle and polite, calm and restrained was defenseless at the moment, showing such a different childish expression in front of him, and his heart warmed slightly.

"Ruofan, don't tempt me early in the morning."

Leaning closer to Gu Ruofan, he pressed a kiss on the man's forehead. Seeing his instantly flushed face, Gu Huai's eyes became darker and more turbulent.

Gu Ruofan just felt that something was wrong all over his body, like he was on fire, and turned his head away from Gu Huai a little awkwardly.

"Where did I tempt you?"

All the rest of the words were swallowed by Gu Huai's kiss.

By the time the two of them got up after their tossing and arguing, it was already noon.

After ordering lunch, Gu Ruofan, who had been tormented by Gu Huai, was completely powerless and leaned halfway on the couch, glaring at the man who seemed to be indifferent.

"Ah Huai, if you are so ridiculous, I will never live with you in the same hall again."

At this moment, Gu Huai had no time to pay attention to Gu Ruofan's threats.

No one knew that in this sleeping hall where only the emperors of Southern Chu could live, their high-ranking emperors were doing the most meticulous things for the man they loved deeply in their hearts.

"Get up, I'll help you get dressed."

Looking at the few inches of skin exposed by Gu Ruofan's slightly opened underwear, and the red-purple imprint on it, Gu Huai's gaze became hot and turbulent again.

Realizing that something was wrong, Gu Ruofan backed away sensitively, pulled himself together and got dressed, only then did he stop Gu Huai from continuing to mess around.

After lunch, Gu Huai had nothing to do, so he ordered someone to bring his Nuanyu Go.

"Ruofan, come and play chess with me."

Gu Ruofan frowned, couldn't help but put down the scroll in his hand, and shook his head slightly.

"We have different styles of chess, so we can't play."

Gu Huai smiled, and said in a deep and coaxing voice, "If I lose, I won't do that ridiculous thing with you again in the daytime, that's great."

Gu Ruofan gritted his teeth, his face turned red again, he dropped the scroll, let's go!

However, he completely ignored the deep and narrow look that suddenly appeared in the eyes of the young emperor sitting across from him.

"What if Ruofan loses?"

"What do you think?"

"If you lose, then from tomorrow, accompany me to the martial arts field to learn riding and archery!"

Gu Ruofan pondered for a moment, then nodded and made the deal.

Gu Huai holds the black pieces first, while Gu Ruofan holds the white pieces, the two have completely different chess styles.

Gu Huai was full of murderous aura and moved very quickly, but Gu Ruofan was more than cautious and not offensive enough.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Huai gave birth to a son.

He looked up at Gu Ruofan and smiled.

"This is already the fourth game, Ruofan, I won again."

martial arts field.

Gu Ruofan, who was exhausted, only felt that his arms were completely numb due to drawing the bow and shooting arrows.

However, Gu Huai, who had always been tolerant of himself in every possible way, was extremely stern when he came here. There was no room for a speck of sand in his eyes. Any movement, as long as there was any flaw, would have to be repeated countless times.

Looking at the man in white sweating profusely, Gu Huai's eyes flashed a trace of unbearable, but he had to grit his teeth and continue.

"Ah Huai, I won't practice anymore!"

"No."

"why?"

"Your body is already weak, and practicing these riding and archery martial arts is just to help you strengthen your foundation."

"... "

When the arrow missed again, Gu Ruofan completely lost the strength to pick up the bow and arrow.

Gu Huai didn't force himself, picked up the man and walked into the bedroom.

"Ruofan, why don't we play another round, if you win, I won't force you anymore."

The voice of the young emperor came from a distance, and was a little indistinct by the wind.

"If you lose..." A narrow light flashed in Gu Huai's eyes, "How about we continue to finish what we haven't finished this morning?"

"Xiaofan, Xiaofan?"

Gu Huai raised his hand and patted Gu Ruofan's shoulder, looking at the boy who was sleeping on the bed laughing and crying, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Amidst Gu Huai's cry, Gu Ruofan slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at Gu Huai, it was obvious that he hadn't completely woken up.

"Ah Huai, you taught me how to play chess. I have learned it for a long time... Let's play a game of chess, shall we?"

Gu Ruofan took Gu Huai's hand, looked at the man, his eyes were burning, shining brightly.

Gu Huai frowned tightly.

The boy's eyes were too strange.

It was so strange that Gu Huai even felt that he seemed to be looking at others through himself.

However, Gu Ruofan didn't know what Gu Huai was thinking at the moment, all the young man's mind was immersed in the dream just now.

The dream was so real that even Gu Huai's body temperature that he reached out and touched was warm, and even his pulse was beating.

The young man raised his head and grabbed Gu Huai's hand.

"Ah Huai, I lost to you last time, this time I will never lose to you again."
