Chapter 132 Extravagant (one more)

The eyes of the two brothers and sisters looked at each other silently, the room was suffocatingly quiet, only the sound of Pang Ma's nervous and heavy breathing echoed in the air.

Silence is like an invisible net slowly tightening.

Looking at Gu Yuan who was silent, Gu Yanfei's eyelashes drooped slightly, casting a shadow on her white cheeks.

She sighed in her heart, but she was not disappointed.

It was normal for Gu Yuan to have no doubts about what happened back then. Gu Yuan was only three years old at that time. What did a three-year-old child know, and what kind of disease he had, it was naturally what Mrs. Tai said.

Furthermore, most people probably can’t remember a lot of things when they were three or four years old.

Like her, after two hundred years, she also forgot a lot of people, a lot of things... Until recently, she slowly recalled some minor details that might be insignificant.

Gu Yanfei raised his hand and rubbed his brows, and a sense of tiredness could not be suppressed, and it was aggressive, but he heard Gu Yuan suddenly say: "By the way, Daddy seemed to have asked me back then..."

Mother Pang suddenly widened her eyes, her body trembled violently, and she didn't even notice that the handkerchief in her hand was taken off her hands.

Even Gu Yanfei was lost for a moment at this moment, his eyes opened slightly, and his heart trembled violently.

she asked in a low voice, "What happened later?"

Gu Yuan took a deep breath, trying to calm the dark tide in his heart, his chest seemed to be condensed, stuffy and heavy, and he continued: "Later, Dad took me and Gu Yunchang to Yangzhou together until …”

His voice became slower and lower, and finally stopped abruptly.

He didn't say any more, but everyone present understood his unfinished words——

Until Yangzhou fell!

Gu Yuan's eyes became extremely deep, and he pursed his lips. Eight years have passed, but the events of that year are still deeply engraved in his heart, leaving scars that can never be erased.

In that battle, he lost his father. Everyone said that his father had betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy. Even his grandmother felt humiliated by his father...

His world collapsed suddenly!

Gu Yuan's expression was still, and his whole person revealed a faint sadness.

Gu Yanfei stared blankly at Gu Yuan's stern profile, her eyes were a little dazed and a little cold, as if she was looking at the man she had only seen in two lifetimes through him.

Her father...

"boom!"

The door of the main room was suddenly kicked open from the outside rudely, making a "creaking" sound, and one of the door leaves was kicked and flew to the ground, breaking into two halves.

Outside the main room, three people can be seen standing under the eaves outside the gate.

Walking in the center was Xia Houqing in red, and standing around him were two personal attendants, an old man and a young man.

Xiahouqing's clothes were as bright as fire, still as spotless as before;

The other two were disgraced and embarrassed, as if they had rolled in a circle of dust and gravel.

Xia Houqing gave his follower a disgusting glance, and the **** of his right hand moved only slightly, and the silver-haired old man took a step back wisely, and then took a half step back.

"..." Huang Wei's family was left behind by Xia Houqing and the three of them, with embarrassed expressions, and felt that the guest who was staying the night was too rude. She just said that the girl has something to do with the eldest young master, but the other party still insists on breaking in!

Gu Yanfei's eyes turned on the brand-new red shirt on Xia Houqing's body, but he couldn't find any dust, and thought to himself: What a pity.

Xia Houqing didn't say a word, as if he was not uninvited, but the master here.

He stepped over the threshold and walked into the main room with a blank expression, walked straight ahead, then casually lifted his robes, and sat down on the upper teacher's chair with a flamboyant and arrogant posture.

"I live here today." Xiahouqing boldly declared that he planned to occupy the main courtyard against the guests.

The silver-haired old man did not enter the room immediately, but stood under the porch and gave a light high-five.

"Clap!"

The next moment, a row of men in black quickly walked into the main courtyard. No one was empty-handed. They brought in the screens, incense burners, whisks, chair cushions, red clay stoves, tea sets, and other items one by one. , arranged one by one.

A series of dark red curtains were pulled up from the beams of the house, and on the east side was a three dazzling red sandalwood side seat inlaid with jade and flower throne screen, the floor was covered with a dark red Persian wool carpet, and a new one was moved. Put the red sandalwood Taishi chair and put a big red embroidered gold thread unicorn pillow on it.

There is also a three-legged incense burner with a jade carved dragon button in the corner behind the screen...

Their movements are very skilled and well-trained, and it seems that they have done it countless times. In just a while, the surroundings of Xia Houqing were newly arranged.

These ornaments are all exquisite and gorgeous, and they are all invaluable, turning such an ordinary main room into a magnificent palace.

A thin green smoke rose from the incense burner and filled the air. The fragrance was unique, refreshing and mellow, with a hint of sweetness.

Gu Yanfei was dumbfounded, and murmured in his heart: When Xia Houqing goes out, do you have to take all the things in the house with you?

"Your Highness, drink tea." A man in black made a pot of tea for Xia Houqing on the spot.

An elegant and pure tea fragrance floated over, Gu Yanfei's nose moved, and his eyes lit up.

The aroma of this tea is high and clear, pure and sharp, and the aroma is thick and pure. It must be a top-quality tea.

In an instant, Gu Yanfei felt that the cup of plum tea in his hand had become dull and tasteless.

The silver-haired old man known as Lao Qi walked silently towards Gu Yanfei and the others, his posture was as straight as a pole, and he said in a cold tone, "Our esteemed lord likes quietness and does not like noise, a few of you please."

Of course he ordered the "Expulsion Order".

"..." Gu Yanfei regretted it, and felt that she should have painted another thunder and fire talisman on the paper crane just now, so that the whole house would collapse.

Chu Yi elegantly drank the plum tea in the cup, and his movements and postures were as pleasing to the eyes as usual, turning a blind eye to the actions of Xia Houqing and his party.

After tasting the tea carefully, Chu Yi said lightly, "Young Master Xiahou came to my grand scene on this trip, but for the "Taizu Handbook"?"

His soft voice sounded slowly, a faint smile appeared on his face, and his eyes were so bright that they seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, reflecting the whole room.

The words were behind, and the room was silent. Except for the sound of boiling water on the red clay stove, there was no other sound. The men in black brought by Xia Houqing seemed to be quiet as if they did not exist at all.

Xiahouqing was noncommittal, glanced at the dust on the table with disgust, took out a new handkerchief, wiped his hands slowly, and stroked his sleeves.

What is the Taizu Handwriting? It was the first time that Gu Yanfei had heard of Taizu's handwriting, so he raised his cheeks and looked at Chu Yi on his right.

Her black and white eyes seemed to be able to speak, and Chu Yi immediately understood what she meant.

"This is a handwritten note left by my great-grandfather during his lifetime." Chu Yi smiled at her, and his handsome face became softer and gentler with this smile, "Great-grandfather recorded many ideas on those handwritten notes that he could not realize during his lifetime. ."

"Great-grandfather wanted to improve looms, ships, gunpowder, and steelmaking... He also said that the wine here is too weak to be called wine at all. He has a way to make real wine."

Gu Yanfei listened attentively, listened and listened, his mind moved.

She always felt that some of the things Chu Yi described were familiar, and she seemed to have seen it somewhere.

Where is   ?

Gu Yanfei searched hard for his memories, from near to far.

She was reborn not long ago, so she was sure that it was not this life, but the previous life... When was the previous life?

Chu Yi said with a smile on his face: "My great-grandfather was an interesting madman, with a lot of wild ideas, saying that people can fly one day, and that a car can travel a thousand miles away in two days on the track. Besides, it is said that there is a kind of 'artillery' that can blow up people in a city at once..."

As he said that, he glanced at Xia Houqing, whose eyes were slightly raised, his eyes swaying faintly in the candlelight.

The screen blocked Xia Houqing's figure, leaving only a well-defined silhouette.

Xiahouqing behind the screen was pretending to drink tea, and a sneer appeared on his red lips behind the tea cup.

He didn't take Chu Yi's words seriously, this Young Master Yi was clearly testing himself!

Gu Yanfei thought seriously, thought hard, and tried to concentrate, but the harder she tried, the harder it was to concentrate...

The ground suddenly darkened before her eyes, and several ghost images swayed alternately, and her upper body also swayed, and she almost fell.

She quickly helped her forehead, only to hear Xia Houqing's sneer with a hint of mockery coming from the direction above.

She regretted it again.

If it wasn't for her lack of spiritual power, she would have drawn hundreds of more fire and thunder talismans and killed him.

Gu Yanfei's consciousness was a little erratic, and then she was in a trance again, and then she gave a sudden shock.

This night, she was drawing talismans, fortune-telling, and tit-for-tat. Whether it was mental or physical, she had reached the limit, especially since there was a lack of spiritual energy here. emptied.

"It's time for you to rest." Chu Yi's gentle voice was like a spring breeze.

really. Gu Yanfei never forced herself to stand up obediently.

But she was really tired, and as soon as she stood up, she felt a strong sense of tiredness sweeping over her, her eyelids were heavy, and her feet began to flutter again.

Chu Yi quickly held her up with his eyes and hands, with a gentle smile in his eyes and beautiful eyebrows.

That look seemed to say, he is there.

Gu Yanfei's eyes were a little dazed again, he raised his lips, and gave him a tired and weak smile.

Those heavy eyelids finally drooped down, and the endless darkness poured in...

Before the darkness completely drowned her consciousness, the last thought in her mind was—

She, where on earth did you see this manuscript?
