Chapter 43 1. Withdrawal
one,
Gu Siyuan opened his eyes, and what came into view was the barking greenness, which was the newly cultivated seedlings by the villagers.
At the entrance of the village in front, two gardenias were planted. It is the blooming season in May, and the tangy fragrance is irresistible.
Gu Siyuan touched his slightly sore shoulder from the shoulder straps of the book basket, and continued to walk forward. After walking along the village road about a few dozen steps away, he would see a green brick yard surrounded by half-low walls, which was the original body. s home.
He had long legs and strides, but after a short while, he reached the edge of the fence, and he could already clearly hear the voices coming from the yard, or it would be more appropriate to say the quarrel.
A shrill female voice shouted: "Xie's family, I'm afraid it won't work if you do this. You can change this person if you say so. Brother Changyue grew up in the uncle's house. We ordinary people can't take care of him." .”
Another gentle female voice: "Sister-in-law Gu, but Changyue is our Xie family's elder brother."
The sharp female voice said again: "I don't care if it belongs to your family, anyway, our family has decided to be Xiao Huan, and I only recognize Xiao Huan!"
The gentle female voice hesitated and said: "But Xiao Huan has already gone back to Suining Bo's Mansion, this marriage is for Changyue, it is also our Xiao Huan who said, Mrs. Gu, look..."
Listening to the quarrel, Gu Siyuan didn't intend to go in immediately, and looked towards the side corner of the wall.
There are a few rugged big stones, which are old and thick with moss.
At this time, there was a thin figure standing on tiptoes, with his hands lying on the wall, watching the situation in the yard intently.
Gu Siyuan's eyes were sharp and cool.
The thin figure quickly noticed it, turned his head and looked towards this side, and was successfully startled by his tall figure and cold eyes, the moss slipped under his feet, and his whole body fell down uncontrollably.
There are many sundries on the ground in the village, and there are gravels underneath. Even if the fall does not break a bone, I am afraid that there will be blood.
Gu Siyuan frowned, stretched out his long arms, and hugged him directly by the waist.
After Xie Changyue was frightened, she blushed against her warm but hard chest and was speechless for a long while.
He grew up in the Suiningbo Mansion with strict rules, and he had never been so close to a man.
At this moment, the quarrels in the yard seemed to have stopped, but instead there was the sound of the bolt shaking at the gate of the yard.
Only then did Xie Changyue push away the people behind her, and ran towards the village with her head buried in her feet.
Gu Siyuan looked at the person's back with a blank expression on his face.
The courtyard door opened, and three figures came out one by one.
An elderly woman and two middle-aged women.
The slightly shorter middle-aged woman's name was Liuzhi. She looked at the running figure and muttered in a low voice, "It looks like Changyue..."
But the oldest old woman was stunned for a while when she saw Gu Siyuan, and then said softly, "Why did Ayang come back from the academy at noon?"
The original full name was Gu Yang.
"Grandmother." Gu Siyuan bowed his hands to her, but his face was always indifferent: "The academy will start a field holiday tomorrow. In order to let the students from Lu Yuan not have to go home in the dark, the class ends a little earlier."
The old woman hurriedly said: "Well, you are so sunny, go back to the house and have a rest, your father is in the kitchen, ask him to pour you a cup of tea."
Gu Siyuan nodded, walked around them and entered the yard.
Gu Siyuan's grandfather was the head of Huangyang Village, so he had the first green brick house in the village.
The yard is not full of chicken droppings like other houses, it is kept clean, and there are even paths paved with cobblestones.
He probably heard him coming in. At this moment, a handsome middle-aged man emerged from the kitchen door. He should be a handsome middle-aged man. There are three kinds of people in this world.
The middle-aged brother smiled at him, and then made a few gestures. Gu Siyuan had learned some dumb words before, so he knew it was asking him if he was tired.
The middle-aged brother's name is Mu Xia, and he is the one who gave birth to the original body.
Gu Siyuan shook his head, walked to his side and asked softly: "The child is not tired, how is Daddy?"
Mu Xia nodded with a smile, stretched out her hand to push him into the house, and then went into the kitchen to boil hot water and make tea.
Gu Siyuan pushed open the wooden door of a wing room on the east side according to his memory.
The layout of the house is simple, the innermost place against the wall is a kang bed, a black wardrobe is placed at the end of the kang bed, and there is a long desk under the window.
This is not only where he sleeps, but also his study.
Gu Siyuan walked to the desk in two steps, put down the book basket on his shoulder, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from it and carefully placed it on the table.
Although the conditions of the Gu family are a little better than other families in Huangyang Village, things like pens, inks, papers and inkstones are still very precious, and everyone should be more careful.
Gu Siyuan took out a piece of yellow mulberry paper and put it on the table, picked up a pen and dipped it in ink, and began to write slowly.
In modern times, he does not often write calligraphy.
And here, even if he inherited the memory of the original body, the words of the original body can only be considered acceptable.
In the imperial examination, the quality of handwriting is very important, and it will greatly affect the ranking.
While writing, Gu Siyuan sorted out the information of this world in his mind.
To put it simply, this is a subtext.
His dynasty was named Da Zhou, and there were three genders, men, women and brothers.
Brother has the appearance of a man, but has the reproductive function of a woman, but his stature is slimmer than that of a man.
The protagonist of the story is Shen Changhuan, a brother who grew up in a family named Xie in Huangyang Village, Wuqing County, Tongzhou.
However, this is not his true identity.
Tongzhou is under the rule of Shuntian Mansion and is very close to the capital. Many rich and noble families in Beijing have built villages here, and they will also recruit people from nearby villages to work in the village.
The Shen family of Suining Bofu in the capital city has a hot spring village in Tongzhou, and Xie Er in Huangyang Village used to work as a long-term worker in the Shen family village when he was young.
16 years ago, His Majesty the First Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty only favored Concubine Chu, who was loved by thousands of people, and the Chu clan ascended to heaven.
Concubine Chu's niece Princess Chengjia fell in love with Shen Wenxuan, the second young master of the Suiningbo Mansion, and forced him to divorce his wife and remarry despite Shen Wenxuan already having a wife and son.
For the sake of his family and future, Shen Wenxuan had no choice but to follow.
But this is only on the surface, but actually hides his wife in his family's Zhuangzi in Tongzhou.
And there was a maid named He Hua who went to Zhuangzi with Mrs. Shen, who was loyal and trusted by the second lady.
Not long after coming to Zhuangzi, because of the hardships of life, the servant girl and the long-term worker Xie Er saw each other rightly.
For the sake of convenience, Mrs. Shen married the two of them.
One year after they got married, He Hua became pregnant.
Coincidentally, because of Shen Wenxuan's stealing from time to time, Mrs. Shen's second wife was also found to be pregnant recently.
Soon after, the situation in the court changed, and the first emperor became seriously ill. The courtiers executed the noble concubine Chu and the Chu family in the name of the Qing emperor.
The married Princess Chengjia was also deprived of her title, so Shen Wenxuan wanted to take this opportunity to divorce his wife.
However, Princess Chengjia is not easy to mess with. She already knew that Shen Wenxuan's wife was hidden in Tongzhou Zhuangzi, so she had already arranged for a killer to do the murder in advance.
On Tongzhou Zhuangzi, because of the guards of the servants, He Hua and a maid named Liu Zhi escaped by protecting Mrs. Shen Er and hid in the mountain forest.
However, Mrs. Shen and He Hua gave birth prematurely at the same time after being frightened, and both gave birth to a brother.
Because of her frailty, Mrs. Shen passed out after giving birth.
The group of killers did not give up their search, and slowly approached the location of the three of them.
In order to repay his wife's kindness, He Hua decided to change her child into the clothes of the wife's child, and rushed out holding her child to attract the killer's attention.
Then, let Liu Zhi hide with his wife's child.
In the end, He Hua was killed by the killer, and the child was snatched away just before he was about to be killed.
Shen Wenxuan arrived with his servants and snatched the child back from the killer. Looking at the child's dress and the killer's actions just now, he thought it was his own child.
After he found the unconscious wife from the cave, he took the child and left back to the uncle's mansion.
On the other side, when Liu Zhi was running with the child, he fell into the forest and passed out because of careless footsteps.
He was rescued by the villagers at the foot of the mountain, and it took several days before he woke up.
And when she woke up, there was blood in the back of her head, and she was in a daze. She couldn't remember many things. Looking at the child, she only remembered that a person named Lotus gave it to her.
One day, Liu Zhi ran into Xie Er on the way while holding the child.
She vaguely remembered that this person seemed to be He Hua's husband, so she directly gave the child to Xie Er, saying that it was He Hua's child.
In the end, Liu Zhi married the widowed Xie Er because she was reluctant to have children.
In this way, the lives of the two children were completely turned upside down.
Shen Wenxuan named the brother who was brought to Suiningbo's mansion Changyue, implying a noble and noble life.
As for the elder brother who stayed in Xie's family in Huangyang Village, Xie Er and Liu Zhi named him Xie Huan, wishing him a happy life.
Sixteen years later, both children are growing up.
Xie Huan, who stayed in Huangyang Village, rescued an injured young man by the river one day.
Xie Huan hid him in the cave, and the two young people got along day and night, sparking a spark of love.
And at this time, the young man's family members finally found them through the sign. Among them was a young man named Shen Changye, who seemed to know him very well, and joked that he should heal his injury early and go back to marry his troublesome younger brother. .
Xie Huan was heartbroken when he learned that the young man had a fiancee.
But the young man told him that it was just a marriage arranged by his parents, he didn't like that Shen Changyue at all, he was the only one in his heart, and he would only marry him.
At this time, the young man also told Xie Huan all about his identity.
His name is Xiao Jingchuan, he is the eldest son of the current Zhennan General, and he is also a general of the Jinwu Guard. This time he went to the south of the Yangtze River to perform official duties, but he was stabbed and injured on the eve of returning to Beijing with important evidence.
And his unmarried brother, Shen Changyue, is the direct brother of the second room of Suiningbo Mansion in the capital.
On this day, Shen Changye brought Shen Changyue to find him.
Afterwards, the killer also found Xiao Jingchuan's trail. In order to force Xiao Jingchuan to hand over the evidence, he tied Shen Changyue and Xie Huan to the cliff as a threat, and asked him to choose one of the two in a playful way.
Xie Huan's adoptive mother, Liuzhi, happened to go up the mountain to encounter this scene, and hit her head on a rock during the fight. Because of this collision, Liuzhi's vague memories of many years gradually became clear.
Therefore, when Shen Changye asked Xiao Jingchuan to save his younger brother first, Liu Zhi couldn't help telling the truth about the exchange, showing that Xie Huan was the real young master of Suiningbo Mansion, his own younger brother.
Afterwards, although neither Shen Changyue nor Xie Huan died because of the timely arrival of reinforcements, the truth of the year became clear from then on.
Xiao Jingchuan was even more ecstatic about the news. If Xie Huan was the real Shen Changyue, then their marriage contract could be inherited directly.
Therefore, under Xiao Jingchuan's active promotion, the Suiningbo Mansion soon learned of the news.
Shen Changyue has always been a proud person, so he voluntarily left the uncle's mansion and returned to Xie's house in Huangyang Village, changing his name to Xie Changyue at the same time.
Xie Huan, on the other hand, returned to the uncle's mansion, and changed his name to Shen Changhuan from the long character of their generation.
However, life in Huangyang Village was much more complicated than Xie Changyue imagined.
First of all, Xie Huan is already 16 years old. Unless you can't get married in the countryside, you are usually married at this age.
Although Xie Huan was not married, his family had already discussed a marriage for him, and it was just the last step.
The betrothed person's name is Gu Zhen, and he is the eldest grandson of Gu Shan, the village head of Huangyang Village, who is also Gu Yang's cousin. He is the most popular young man in the village.
The village chief's family background is naturally better than other families in the village. Gu Gu was sent to school since he was a child, and now he has passed the school entrance exam.
It is said that his homework is very good. If there is no college exam this year, Gu Zhen might even be selected as a scholar.
And Gu Zhen, who is also the affectionate second male in this story, has been deeply in love with the protagonist Shen Changhuan since he was a child.
After he learned that his marriage partner was going to be Xie Changyue, he planned to ask his family to reject the marriage.
But on the other hand, although the Suiningbo Mansion allowed Xie Changyue to return to the Xie family in Huangyang Village, after all, they had raised him for more than ten years, and they had some affection for him, and they were quite concerned about his life in the countryside.
And Shen Changhuan took the initiative to talk to Gu Gu in order to reassure Bofu completely.
In the end, for some reason, Gu Gu agreed to marry Xie Changyue after returning home.
Xie Changyue didn't object either. He knew that his identity was different from before. To be able to marry a scholar like Gu Gu was considered a very good marriage in this rural village.
Thus, Xie Changyue and Gu Zhen got married.
After getting married, Xie Changyue found that Gu Zhen was indeed a nice person, except that he never touched him.
Gu Gu studied very diligently, as if something was chasing him behind him, and he was awarded a Jinshi soon.
Xie Changyue also went back to Beijing with him, and met the people of Suining Bofu again.
After getting drunk once, Gu Zhen and Xie Changyue finally consummated their marriage.
When he woke up the next day, Gu Gu seemed remorseful and said that he would treat him well in the future.
The two began to live like a real couple, with red sleeves adding fragrance, harps and zithers singing in harmony, and agreed to stay together for a lifetime and grow old together.
Just when Xie Changyue thought that life would always be so good, Gu Gu suddenly became busier and couldn't find him most of the time.
On this day, the city was under martial law. It is said that King Wu forced the palace to rebel.
When everything subsided at night, Xie Changyue was worried about Gu Gu's safety, so he asked his servants to go out with a lantern to look for him.
However, when he walked near the palace, he saw the picture of his husband pushing Shen Changhuan away and blocking an arrow behind him.
He watched his husband die in order to save Shen Changhuan, and he also knew that he was busy during this time, and he was always busy helping Shen Changhuan.
Xie Changyue fainted on the spot.
After Xie Changyue woke up again, he was completely blackened.
He hated Shen Changhuan and began to take revenge on him by all means.
Why has he been given up all his life because of Shen Changhuan.
When he was just born, in order to save Shen Changhuan, he was abandoned by his biological mother and almost died.
Later, his stepmother Liuzhi abandoned him in order to save Shen Changhuan, and almost let him fall off the cliff.
Now, his husband chooses to save Shen Changhuan and die, giving up the vow they made.
However, even though Xie Changyue was astute, how could he compare to the halo of the protagonist.
In the end, Shen Changhuan and Xiao Jingchuan were promoted to nobles and lived happily together, while Xie Changyue died a miserable death because of all the tricks.
"This task: change the ending of Xie Changyue's character and make him happy.
Success Reward: One chance to draw a lottery.
Failure penalty: no rewards can be obtained. "
Mu Xia walked in with tea, and saw her son writing something with a brush in his hand, his serious and quiet back was very imposing.
Although everyone in the village exaggerated Fang Gu Gu, in his eyes, his own Gu Yang was the best, especially after returning from the academy this time, he felt that his son was a bit indescribable.
He didn't want to disturb his son, so he quietly put the tea on the table, and then walked out lightly.
However, Gu Siyuan still raised his head.
Because the voices in the yard became louder, his eldest aunt Li Xiangtao was discussing with his grandmother about retiring the marriage at Xie's house, so he couldn't help raising his voice when he got emotional.
