At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 486 The Pear Is Ripe

There is a pear tree on the side of the road. The pears on the tree are ripe, yellow and clear, big in size, crunchy, sweet and juicy, making people salivate.

Cui Shirou and Shuer's master and servant stood under the tree reluctantly, looking at the pears on the tree eagerly. The only difference was that the former thought it was very beautiful, while the latter wanted to eat it very much. Look eager to try.

"Girl, there seems to be no one around, why not..." Shu Er swallowed her saliva and said in a low voice.

Cui Shirou rolled her eyes at the maidservant, and said in a low voice, "You little greedy cat, if you want to eat pears, just go back to the city and buy a basket."

Shu'er smiled and said: "The ones I bought are not fresh from the trees. Miss, look at that pear, tsk tsk, it's almost as big as a maidservant's face, it must be delicious." She licked her lips as she spoke.

Cui Shirou was angry and funny, but the pear was really big, round and yellow, and it was so attractive that it hung on the tree, even she couldn't help but want to take a bite.

At this time, Gao Bufan and Cui Hu walked over leading the horse, the former asked with a smile: "Does Rou'er want to eat pears?"

Cui Shirou's face turned red, and she wanted to say no, but in the end she nodded in a mysterious way, and then her face turned even redder, like a ripe apple, as attractive as the pear on the tree.

Little Lolita has grown taller again this year, her curves are becoming more and more obvious, she is slim, her eyes are bright and her teeth are bright, her eyebrows are picturesque, standing under the pear tree, the autumn wind blows her sleeves and bangs, she is indescribably beautiful, she really looks like a painting It came out average.

Gao Bufan glanced left and right, but he didn't see anyone guarding him, so he jumped up, picked the biggest pear from the tree, handed it to Cui Shirou, and said with a smile, "Here!"

"Thank you, Brother Gao." Cui Shirou subconsciously stretched out her hands to hold the pear, it was really big and heavy.

Gao Bufan picked another one and handed it to Shu'er, the servant girl immediately smiled, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Gao, the servant girl has been in the girl's favor today."

Gao Bufan smiled, and picked two more pears from the tree, handed one to Cui Hu, and wiped the remaining one on his clothes casually, then put it in his mouth and took a bite, his mouth was instantly sweet, There are no pesticides and fertilizers in this era, and they are all pure green organic food.

Cui Shirou hesitated to speak, Gao Bufan took out a string of five baht coins and hung them on the pear tree, and said with a smile: "I know the old farmer who grows pears, Rou'er can feel free to eat."

Cui Shirou felt relieved when she heard the words, her cheeks were rosy, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the pear in her hand, then she lowered her head and took a shallow bite, it was really sweet and juicy, crisp and soft, sweet to the bottom of her heart, she couldn't help but crave Eyes plainly said: "Brother Gao, it's so sweet!"

Shu'er burst out laughing, Cui Shirou immediately blushed again, and turned around embarrassedly.Shu'er hastily gnawed a few mouthfuls of pears, and added, "Well, it's really sweet and delicious."

The green parrot quickly flew up to her hand and pecked at it, then opened its throat and yelled, "It's so sweet, so sweet!"

Everyone couldn't help smiling, which relieved Cui Shirou's embarrassment, and everyone continued to walk forward.

"By the way, when is Changqing going to leave for Luoyang?" Cui Hu asked suddenly.

Gao Bufan took a bite of the pear and said: "It's just a few days, I have already asked the emperor for two months' leave in the memorial book to meet the bride on the eighth day of August."

Cui Shirou, who was walking in front of her, faltered for a moment. The bright autumn day in front of her seemed to suddenly darken. The pears were no longer sweet, and her mood was no longer happy. Is it just the taste of sadness?
Cui Hu glanced at his daughter who was walking forward indifferently, and asked, "If you need help, Changqing just ask."

Gao Bufan shook his head and said: "Mr. Du is ready, I just need to arrive in Luoyang before the fifth day of August."

"Well, Mr. Du is prudent and thorough in his work, so there should be no mistakes or omissions. Congratulations, Mr. Cui." Cui Hu laughed.

"Thank you, Brother Cui, remember to come and have a glass of wedding wine." Gao Bufan smiled.

Cui Hu nodded: "That's for sure, it's almost noon, let's go back to the city."

Ever since, everyone got on their horses and went back to the city.

Back home, Cui Shirou went back to the backyard without thinking, and sat beside the chrysanthemum garden in a daze silently. The golden daisies attracted a lot of bees and butterflies flying around.

Thinking that in a month or two, when the weather turns cold, the chrysanthemums will fall, and these lively little creatures will disappear, Cui Shirou feels even more sad, and has the urge to cry.

"Rou'er!" A kind voice sounded from behind, Cui Shirou hurriedly stood up, and found her father Cui Hu standing behind her, with a hint of worry mixed in her loving eyes.

"Father!" Cui Shirou lowered her head, embarrassed, like a child who has done something wrong.

"What's wrong with you?" Cui Hu asked softly.

Cui Shirou quickly shook her head and said, "Daughter is not feeling well!"

"That's good." After speaking, he sat down beside the flower garden, patted the side and smiled, "Rou'er sit here and chat with Weifu."

"Oh!" Cui Shirou obediently sat down next to her father, but she was a little nervous.

Cui Hu said: "Your Brother Gao is getting married."

Cui Shirou lowered her head and whispered: "Daughter knows, brother Gao wants to marry Miss Wugou from the eldest grandson's family, she must be a good woman."

Cui Hu smiled and said: "My Rou'er is also a good woman, no worse than my eldest grandson Wugou."

Cui Shirou said with a sore nose, "In the eyes of parents, their children must be the best."

"In the eyes of your brother Gao, Rou'er is also a good woman."

Cui Shirou's heart skipped a beat, and she blushed and said, "Father, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"If Dad wants to betroth you to Brother Gao, Rou'er, would you like it?" Cui Hu asked with a smile.

Cui Shirou was stunned for a moment, then her heart was pounding like a deer, her face was as red as fire, and she said in a good way: "Father...are you confused? Brother Gao is getting married."

Cui Hu said earnestly: "Father knows, but a man can only marry one wife. In ancient times, there was a good story about Ehuang and Nvying. Duke Ling also had three wives."

Cui Shirou's heart beat faster when she heard the words, she lowered her head and felt uneasy, both ashamed and happy, and a little confused.

"As long as Rou'er is willing, Dad will let Changqing marry you as his wife even if he puts on his old face." Cui Hu said firmly.

Cui Shirou was taken aback, and quickly said: "Father...don't!"

Cui Hu nodded disappointedly and said: "Well, since Rou'er is not happy, then forget it."

Cui Shirou couldn't help being dumbfounded, and while grabbing the corners of her clothes, she murmured, "Rou'er...just don't want father to be wronged for his daughter."

A smile appeared on the corner of Cui Hu's mouth!
…………

Gao Bufan returned to the Tongshou yamen, and as soon as he entered, the guards reported: "Master Tongshou, Mr. Du has returned from Luoyang, and is waiting for you in the inner hall."

Gao Bufan was surprised, didn't he agree to wait in Luoyang?Why did you suddenly come back again, could something have gone wrong?
Gao Bufan quickly walked into the inner hall, and sure enough, he saw Du Ruhui sitting there waiting, and Wei Zheng was sitting there with him, both of them had solemn expressions.

"Ruhui met Mr. Gao." When Du Ruhui saw Gao Bufan, he quickly stood up and greeted him.

Gao Bufan waved his hand and said: "Mr. Du, there is no need to be polite, sit down quickly, but what happened?"

Du Ruhui nodded: "There was indeed an accident." After speaking, he told the story of the Luoyang stele again.

After Gao Bufan heard this, he couldn't help frowning his sword eyebrows. He even used this trick. It seems that he is really hated by others recently, but he didn't care too much, because Yang Guang shouldn't be so good cheat.

As for who did such a sinister thing, Gao Bufan can't guess, and he doesn't want to guess. After all, with his current status and reputation, there are too many people who are envious and jealous, and the heroes all over the country are even more so. I just wish I could get rid of myself, and I was designed and dealt with by Li Mi, Dou Jiande and others not long ago.

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "This trick kills people without seeing blood. It can't be said that it is not insidious. My lord must not take it lightly."

Du Ruhui nodded and said: "Brother Xuan Cheng's words are very true. Although the emperor may not believe it, he still has a grudge in his heart. If there is any trouble in the future, he might use you as the knife. We have to guard against it!"

Gao Bufan's heart trembled a little when he heard the words, Yu Juluo was suspected by Yang Guang because of his unfamiliarity and double pupils, and although he was reused later, Yang Guang was still worried about him, and in the end he was dismissed because the teacher was tired and rested for a few months Asking to cut, it seems that I really have to pay attention to this matter.

"Do those two gentlemen have a good plan to resolve it?" Gao Bufan asked in a deep voice.

Du Ruhui immediately said respectfully: "Actually, Miss Wugou has already thought of a way to resolve this matter."

Gao Bufan was slightly stunned, and hurriedly asked: "What is the solution?"

"Miss Wugou offered to continue living in Luoyang after marrying your lord!"

Wei Zheng couldn't help but stroked his beard and praised: "I heard Miss Wugou's virtuous name a long time ago, and now it seems that it is indeed true. Miss Wugou's magnanimity makes men feel ashamed of her. My lord can get such a good wife, congratulations! "

Gao Bufan's heart suddenly sank. In order to eliminate Yang Guang's suspicion of him, Wugou was willing to stay in Luoyang as a hostage. This sacrifice was too great. With Yang Guang's suspicious temperament, if there was a little trouble, wouldn't it be Harm Wugou?
"No!" Gao Bufan shook his head decisively and said, "I can't agree!"

The reason why he was in a hurry to get married was because he was worried that his eldest grandson Wugou would not be safe in Luoyang, so he wanted to take her to Youzhou as soon as possible.

Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng looked at each other, and didn't say anything more. Obviously, they had expected this kind of result long ago. Mr. Gao is open-minded, approachable, and he values ​​love and righteousness. It was impossible to agree to keep Changsun Wugou in Luoyang as a hostage.

On the second day, Gao Bufan and Du Ruhui set off to Luoyang with only [-] soldiers. Things changed, so Gao Bufan felt that he had to go to Luoyang in advance to make some preparations to avoid accidents.
