Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 251 The Real Showdown

As the eldest son of Gu Qingfan, Gu Qingfan has his own separate yard, but it seems that he hasn't come back for many years, weeds regenerated in the yard, and the bamboo that should have been planted for appreciation has grown densely, almost occupying the entire yard .

Later, it was Bai Shao who decided to chop off most of the bamboos, and surrounded the remaining half with stones. The rest of the place was also paved with a little firmer soil, and people stepped on it back and forth to make it firm. You can walk around when it is not raining, and walk along the bluestone road in the center when it is raining.

As for the room, except for the brand new bedding and bed curtains, the tables and chairs in the Duobao Pavilion were also wiped clean, and they were still in their original positions, but Bai Shao put pens, inks, papers and inkstones on them, and removed the packaged oil paper , as a whole, it seems that this house has always been inhabited, but the owner has left temporarily.

Now, the master is back.

Gu Qingfan untied his cloak and hung it on the screen, then looked in surprise at the cleaned tables and chairs, Duobao Pavilion, as well as the brand new bed curtains and bedding.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "You have a heart."

"Mother asked me to make it, and I don't know what color you like, so I chose stone blue." Bai Shao tilted her head and smiled, "It seems that you like it very much, so I can rest assured."

Gu Qingfan nodded, looked at Bai Shao suddenly, and said, "You are very smart, I have been to Izumo Town and saw you deal with a lot of things, I think you should know who I am to you. "

Use a calm narrative tone, not a questioning tone.

"It's...it's me...brother?" Bai Shao asked in surprise.

Gu Qingfan nodded calmly, "In fact, your surname should be Gu, but in order to hide your name, I had to hand you over to Wu Ma's family, and let them leave Yanjing far away, just to protect you. Back then, the Gu family army His Majesty was suspicious of some things, his father was framed by thieves, and he was forced to behead him, and even his uncle, uncle and uncle's two families were implicated, so it can be said that there are almost no survivors left in the Gu family."

"But you..." Bai Shao looked at Gu Qingfan hesitantly.

Gu Qingfan said clearly, "You probably want to ask, why am I still alive? You can only live in incognito, but I live openly and aboveboard. Did you take Dad's place?"

"En." Bai Shao nodded.

"Because our grandfather is the Duke of Zhen who is trusted by His Majesty the most today, His Majesty agreed to save my life based on his grandfather's protection. Later, Cang Zhou was about to move, and no one could command the Gu family's army, so His Majesty reused me. He ordered me to resist Cangzhou's army in Guangliang County. However, because of my father's affairs, he has always been very jealous of me. Even if I go back to Yanjing, I have to stay in the palace for one night. Behind this seemingly glorious, In fact, what is hidden are swords, spears and halberds." Gu Qingfan laughed at himself.

For a moment, Bai Shao suddenly felt sorry for him very much.

It is necessary to work desperately on the battlefield, but also to live cautiously because of His Majesty's taboo, especially since His Majesty is still his own genocide enemy.

This kind of suffering, this kind of difficulty, is not comparable to the simple matter of Bai Shao being bullied by Mrs. Liu.

After a long time, she asked cautiously, "Since you have been to Izumo Town, it means you know where I am. Why didn't you pick me up earlier? Although I am small and weak, I can help you as much as possible." .”

"Stupid child." Gu Qingfan couldn't help laughing dumbfounded when he heard her words, stretched out his hand to rub her little head, and sighed, "I originally thought that I wanted you to live with Mama Wu's family there safely. , I will pick you up after I have arranged everything. But later, I investigated your actions over the past few years and found that you have become more and more ambitious. I think, such a smart girl can't just let it go Buried there. And..."

Having said that, Gu Qingfan was silent for a moment, "Besides, Mom misses you so much."

mother……

Subconsciously, Bai Shao thought that the mother here was referring to Wu Shi, and after about three or five breaths, she realized that this mother meant her own mother.

She was a little dazed, and said in a trembling voice, "She...she..."

In Bai Shao's original thought, his mother was always dead.

Who would have thought that she was still alive?

For a moment, Bai Shao was shocked.

"She is in the Duke of Zhen's mansion. Because of her poor health, she seldom comes out, but in order to find you, she still goes to a place every year, lives there for a while, and then asks about you everywhere." Gu Qingfan said lightly. "At the beginning, Emperor Tianyu launched it too hastily. Mother didn't have time to ask where Mama Wu's house was. She only knew that it was in Anyang County. In the past ten years, she went out seven times. Three years ago, because of her poor health, she never went out. Get out. The reason why I went to Xieyang County was not only because I had something to do, but also because she happened to find it there, and I will help her find you."

"She...she has been to Xieyang County..." Bai Shao couldn't help throbbing, "I happen to live in Xieyang County...I live there...I might pass her by... ..."

"Her health is getting worse. She once told me that if it wasn't for looking for you, she would have left with her father." Gu Qingfan said, a mist appeared in his eyes, covering his sharp eyes. Light.

"I..." Bai Shao was so nervous that she didn't know what to say, "I... is she in the Zhen Guogong's mansion now? Can I go and see her? No, I'd better not go, in case she really The...really..."

Bai Shao was afraid, what if her mother fulfilled her wish after meeting her daughter and really left with her father.

"Don't be afraid, it won't happen for a while, I told her, and I can avenge my father soon." Gu Qingfan rubbed her head, then stood up from the chair, and said in a more relaxed tone, "Are you ready to be Miss Gu's family? You can get a lot of attention, be surrounded by many people, punish many people at will, and make many people dare not touch you. But you will also receive a lot of Ming You will even receive a lot of good and bad flattery. I want you to think carefully about this matter. If you still only want to be an ordinary girl from the Bai family, I will send you and Wu Ma's family back to Xieyang County, so that You live a quiet, ordinary life."

And if, once chosen to be the young lady of the Gu family, all kinds of exhausting things will follow.

This is a serious matter, Gu Qingfan does not intend to make a decision for Bai Shao.

And, he will respect her decision.

After a long time, when the air became stagnant because of Bai Shao's silence, she suddenly smiled and spread her hands, saying, "If you told me this before Du Xiaoyue, I might think it was Tian Fangye Tan. You know, I have been living in the small mountain village of Shilipu, living such an ordinary life, worrying about a few pennies, and being forced by my grandmother to not have enough to eat and wear warm clothes. Although the family earns a lot of money later I am getting richer, and my life is gradually getting richer, but in my heart, I have always been an ordinary person, a commoner without any status."

When Gu Qingfan heard this, although he didn't speak, his eyelids gradually drooped.

At this moment, Bai Shao laughed again, "But what Du Xiaoyue did shocked me a lot. This shock reminded me of that Zhao Yueqian back then. It made me realize that no matter where I am, I have no identity or status." Powerful people will be bullied wherever they go, and they will not be able to protect their families. To be honest, if no one protects me these two times, the money I have accumulated may have been destroyed long ago. So, rich people You may not have power, but those who have power must have money!"

"Who doesn't want to live an ordinary but prosperous life? I even know that as long as I say I want to go back to Xieyang County, brother, you will arrange for someone to take care of me for the rest of my life, so that I have no worries about food and clothing, and keep me from being bullied. But that's the same as What's the difference between a shrinking tortoise? Since I can work hard to make money and start a business in order to get rid of the Bai family, I can't abandon my brother and mother just to live a simple life. "

After talking eloquently for a long time, Bai Shao opened her eyes wide, stared at Gu Qingfan with sparkle, and finally said the most important sentence, "So brother, I choose to be Miss Gu's family, and it's time for me to protect you." You guys are here, okay?"

"Okay...ok..." Gu Qingfan nodded slightly with red eyes.

Afterwards, he hugged his younger sister into his arms, rubbed her little head lightly, and laughed twice while choking on his sobs.

Bai Shao didn't speak, just enjoying his brother's warm embrace quietly.

After about tea time, Bai Yunshi's low voice suddenly sounded outside Gu Qingfan's room door, "I have seen the fourth prince."

"Well, Yun Shi, seeing that you are guarding here, then your little general should be in the house, and I happened to have something to do with him." Yan Shu greeted Bai Yunshi with a smile, and wanted to go to the house Intrude.

"This... let me tell you." Bai Yunshi hesitated.

"No, no, I'll just go there by myself." Yan Shu waved his hands as he strode into the room, just in time to see Bai Shao lying in Gu Qingfan's arms and trying to stand up.

In an instant, Yan Shu's expression changed.

He stretched out his hand, pointed at Gu Qingfan tremblingly, and said without tears, "Let go, let go... let go..."

Gu Qingfan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, with a bit of understanding and evil in his eyes, "Why do you want to let go? Not only will I not let go, but I will hug him for a while."

"No!" Yan Shu's face darkened, he hung the folding fan on his waist, rolled up his sleeves and rushed over, "Well, Gu Qingfan, they say that brothers and wives should not be bullied, you are fine, what are you doing, I'm fighting with you, you dare to touch my little Shao'er, let go, let go quickly!"

As he said that, he was about to wrestle with Gu Qingfan.

Gu Qingfan let go of Bai Shao with some amusement, then skillfully removed the force from his hand, shook his head helplessly and said, "Can you see clearly before shouting?"

"See clearly? You just hugged my little Shao'er, you..." Yan Shu looked at Bai Shao with a sad face, "Little Shao'er, why did you let him hug you?"

Bai Shao lowered her head and ignored him.

Yan Shu didn't give up, and continued to question him.

I never thought that Bai Shao, who was still laughing at Gu Qingfan and saying Yan Yan just now, suddenly became stinky, not only did not respond to Yan Shu, but waved his hands and stood behind Bai Yunshi.
