already.

"I still remember, I just heard Xia Shen talking about you at that time." Gu Zezhi hugged her from behind, "It was said that Gu Yangling gave you many epiphyllums."

Wan Liang smiled faintly, and replied: "When I received it, I was also baffled."

"Then I thought, it's really stupid to use epiphyllum to describe beauty. Camellia is the best gift for a girl like Wan Liang." Gu Zezhi buried her face in the hollow of her shoulder and laughed softly.

"So you have successfully pursued it." After Wan Liang finished speaking, Gu Zezhi grinned.

From now on it will be a warm story.Smooth and steady, clear and light.Gu Zezhi thought so.

It's just that often when people think that life will continue like this, it doesn't.

Chapter 29

Gu Zezhi sat in front of the desk, staring at the familiar handwriting in front of him, silent for a long time.

The door was pushed lightly, Wan Liang came in with a cup of tea, and put it quietly in Gu Zezhi's hand.

"The one who delivered the letter is from the Meng Mansion?" Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing Gu Zezhi's thoughts.

"I don't know." Gu Zezhi answered simply, "But... the person who wrote this letter is definitely Meng Duan."

Wan Liang pursed her lips, and lightly pressed her hand on the letter paper.

"The emperor's abacus is really louder than that of a businessman like me! It's not enough to calculate me, and I want to win face for the Meng family and buy people's hearts." Gu Zezhi almost gritted his teeth.

"Then what is it..." Wanliang sighed, and slowly raised her eyes, "Save? Or not?"

Gu Zezhi's eyes swept to the letter paper again——

I can't see any flowers.It's nothing more than Gu Huairen's involvement in the private affairs case of Cao Cao, and he wants to exile his whole family to Danzhou.Thinking of the eldest princess's affection, so he extrajudicially merciful to himself.

The back of the letter paper is relatively interesting.Governor Meng put on the face of a savior, saying that if he lost all the property of the Gu family, including Gu Zezhi, Gu Huairen would be safe.

"Danzhou is extremely smoggy, they are counting on Mr. Gu's old illness..." Wan Liang said gloomily, her brows furrowed.

"When... exactly when?" Gu Zezhi felt almost at a loss, "He was actually involved in the water transportation case?"

"The so-called, it's a blessing in disguise." Wan Liang put her hand on Gu Zezhi's shoulder and squeezed it lightly.

"I'm sorry, Wanliang..." Gu Zezhi suddenly turned around, keeping Wanliang's waist, "Obviously I want you to have a good life..."

"What's so good, even if you have tens of thousands of dollars in wealth, I'm not the kind of person who spends time at home!" Wan Liang raised the corner of her mouth and smiled, and gently patted the top of Gu Zezhi's head.

"Oh, I figured it out," Gu Zezhi said in a muffled voice, "When I can get married, I'm the moon of the stars. When I lose the value of marriage, I'm not even as good as a weed. The most hateful thing is , not even letting go of the remaining value... Does he think I don’t know? What is Mr. Meng? It’s clearly the emperor—”

"Misfortune comes out of your mouth!" Wan Liang covered Gu Zezhi's lips, and then said softly, "Why do you have to reveal it so clearly? Let's deal with it in a muddle-headed way. Anyway, facing that person, we can only... that's it."

"Okay," Gu Zezhi let out a sneer, but his voice was a little sad, "Just treat it as if I paid back all the food and clothing I spent for so many years. That's okay, it's also pretty good..."

Wanliang hugged her again, this time it seemed to be even harder.

"After this time, Mr. Gu will understand, and he will feel ashamed back then."

"I never expected that much," Gu Zezhi shook his head, "Anyway, I tried my best to help him, so I don't owe him any more."

In the courtyard in late autumn, there are very few people.When winter is about to enter, everything seems to be depressed. Even Jiangnan, where migratory birds stop, cannot drive away the depression.

The voices and smiles of those people in childhood seem to reappear in my heart at this moment.

Gu Huairen... Gu Zezhi closed his eyes, then slightly turned his head.

After staying for only a day, the two of them embarked on the road back to Beijing.

Gu Zezhi looked at the familiar forest scenery on both sides of the road, and suddenly laughed: "Life is really too many unexpected things!"

Wanliang raised her head from the pile of house deeds and land deeds spread on her lap, looked at her and said, "Happiness and sorrow, cycle and cycle, have existed since ancient times."

"Fortunately, the members of the Gu family are still relatively weak, except for the father, who are all young, otherwise..."

"There is always luck in misfortune." Wan Liang turned her head, "Now that you have handed over all these family fortunes, what are you going to do?"

"Business requires capital," Gu Zezhi pouted, pressing her forehead on Wanliang's shoulder, "I can only go back to my old business first."

"Old karma?" Wan Liang looked at her suspiciously.

"I haven't told Wanliang about this yet," the corners of her mouth finally curled up slightly, "I used to be a jade carver."

"You know how to carve jade?" Wan Liang opened her mouth in surprise, "No wonder you have two thin calluses on your hands."

"Well, there were very few carvings when I was in the capital. There are still quite a few left in the mansions in Jiangcheng."

"It's really necessary to keep your skills close to you, otherwise you'll have to sleep on the street and drink the cold wind." Wan Liang teased.

"Won't Wanliang support me?" She pursed her lips, "I thought Wanliang wouldn't want me."

Wanliang pulled up the blanket covering her body and fell asleep with her head tilted.

After a tiring ride, Gu Zezhi rushed to Dali Temple without stopping.

Meng Duan stood at the door again, with his hands clasped behind his back, his chin slightly raised, in a rather condescending posture.Standing beside him was a dignified and beautiful woman.

"I thought Ms. Gu wouldn't want to meet me again." He said with a smile that was not a smile.

"You're right."

"Gu Zezhi, you are really amazing. How dare you talk like that when you are in this situation?" He just laughed again, "Does Miss Gu think she is the daughter of the Minister's House? You have to understand, from now on I will If the Meng family moves their fingers, it is enough for you to die ten thousand times."

"This is Dali Temple, right?" Gu Zezhi looked around pretending to be suspicious, "Here in Dali Temple, he said that he wanted to use private rights to kill people... After all, I am no better than Master Shaoqing."

"I'd like to see how long you can be stubborn? Back then you used your status to not allow me to take a concubine. Now, I'm afraid you're going to be reduced to a concubine?" He finished speaking and glanced at Wanliang. , then laughed and said, "Oh, I forgot. There have been rumors in the market these days that the eldest daughter of the Gu family is with a singing girl..."

"Have you laughed enough? Can I pick up my dad?"

"What if I don't allow this deal?" Meng Duan's tone was very slow, quite confident.

"If you don't allow it, don't allow it," Gu Zezhi chuckled, "But do you dare? Meng Duan, do you dare?"

Meng Duan's eyes were gloomy, but he didn't answer.

"Take me to see him! If I get upset after a while and regret it, your Meng family will have nothing to eat and will walk away."

Meng Duan gritted his teeth, turned his back, and led them to the inner courtyard.

Wan Liang ran up to hold Gu Zezhi's hand, and then followed her to slow down.She squeezed her hand lightly, then curled the corners of her mouth.

The breeze is coming slowly, and the sleeves of the clothes are fluttering.Although they know that once today is over, everything will be different, but for them, as long as they can see each other tomorrow, everything will be bright.

When Gu Zezhi entered, Gu Huairen was patting Gu Zelan's back to comfort him.He heard the creak of the door and slowly raised his head.

Speechless.

Gu Zezhi didn't talk nonsense, took the stack of house deeds and land deeds from Wan Liang, and handed them to Meng Duan: "Send it to him, I will take it away."

"Wait," Gu Huairen said suddenly, "If you want to go, Zelan has to go too!"

Gu Zezhi was silent for a moment, and then said: "The Gu family, the entire property including mine, can only be exchanged for you."

"Didn't your mother leave a few houses for you?" Gu Huairen looked very anxious, he turned to look at Meng Duan, "Meng Shaoqing, can you make it easier for me based on the friendship between the Gu and Meng families for many years?"

Meng Duan said yes without hesitation.The emperor meant that he could collect as much property as he could, and that one person would be happier if he returned several fields and houses.

"Don't even think about it!" Gu Zezhi clenched his fists tightly, "I lost everything to save you, isn't that enough? I also need to save her! What is she, so why should I, Gu Zezhi!"

"Gu Zezhi! That's your sister!" Gu Huairen stared at her fiercely.

"I can save all my belongings to save you, because I lived in Gu's residence, because I promised my mother not to anger you, even...even if I hate you to the bone. But Gu Zelan, I have nothing to do with her!" Gu Zezhi tried her best to calm down. Keeping his own tone, he slowly squeezed out his voice through his teeth, "Since my mother's farm house can save another one, then I will choose Gu Huaijin. He was soaked in cold when he was a child, so he can't bear the moisture."

"Gu Huaijin?" Gu Huairen frowned deeply, "It's just a picked up child, his life was given by the Gu family."

"Yes, but this is my mother's field house. I can save whoever I want." Gu Zezhi gave up reasoning with him, and his face was a little tired.

Wan Liang knew that she had no way to intervene, so she could only hold Gu Zezhi's hand even tighter: "You are right, don't worry."

Gu Zezhi looked down at her and nodded.

"Okay, okay!" He said three times in a row, as if he was in a hurry, "If you don't save her, I won't leave, let me see how ruthless you are!"

Gu Zezhi was so anxious that she almost convulsed, and at the same time, a deep sense of powerlessness almost overwhelmed her.

"Do you remember how my mother died? It was killed by your doting and loving Aunt Lan. You cover up, you let my mother die for no reason, and you also said that she was cruel and immoral, and she deserved her death! And Now, you want me to use her property to save Aunt Lan's daughter? Gu Huairen, you are a beast!"

"Is this
