When Xue Yuan left the capital, he left Gu Yuanbai with a big problem.
The day he left, Gu Yuanbai opened his eyes an hour and a half later. The bed was neat and clean all around, with the fresh scent from the bath, so cozy that he squinted his eyes once again.
Xue Yuan, whether in the room or kissing, in fact, simple and rough, do not know what skills, only know that the straight and narrow. However, then straight to the action in the deliberately slowed down also seems to have become a good way to wear people, Gu Yuanbai do not know how he endured, only know that every time after finishing, the mattress seems to be soaked with water again, most of the XueYuan body left sweat.
Handsome and loyal, taking care of Gu Yuanbai is even more meticulous, and the feeling of opening one's eyes clean and dry after a night of fun is really too wonderful.
Gu Yuanbai savored for a while and leisurely got out of bed. Only after getting up did he realize that there were two wooden boxes placed next to the bed, one on the left and one on the right, and under the wooden box was pressed a letter paper, he opened it and saw that it was Xue Yuan's handwriting.
The letter said that one of the two boxes was Xue Yuan's salary since he had been on duty, and that he had given it to Gu Yuanbai to keep for use, and that he would come back when he ran out of money. The other box is a letter he wrote in advance for Gu Yuanbai to read, one letter a day, and please don't forget to read it.
After Gu Yuanbai read the letter, he couldn't help but feel his heart soften to sweetness.
He was in a happy mood as he had people lift up the two wooden boxes, intending to go out of the Xue Mansion in a low-profile manner. However, as soon as he left the house, he saw Old General Xue kneeling in front of the courtyard gate.
Elder General Xue's face stiffened as he raised his head toward the saint, abruptly containing hot tears in his eyes as he trembled, "Your Holiness--"
Old General Xue knelt here for a long time and thought a lot. Things that he had not noticed in the past flashed before his eyes one by one, and finally, he remembered a sentence that he had once asked Xue Yuan when he was in the Northern Frontier.
"Did you use force on the girl?"
Xue Yuan then snorted with laughter.
When Old General Xue thought about it now, he only felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into winter.
Old General Xue knew best what kind of person his own son was. When Xue Yuan stayed in the capital as a child, he dared to get involved in any kind of trouble. At a young age, he was able to scare people with a knife without changing his color, and among a group of children of civil and military officials, he was the one who really dared to let people see blood with his own hands. It was because of this that Old General Xue was alarmed by his cold-bloodedness and fury, and made the decision to bring him to his side to teach him, and on the battlefield, this cold-bloodedness of Xue Yuan gradually paralyzed into an obsession with killing the enemy.
It was as if he had nothing to fear, and entering the battlefield was like a dragon entering between the clouds and the sea.
If you don't know how to be afraid, you will get into big trouble. This is why Old General Xue treated him harshly time and time again, hoping to ring him with a layer of human flavor, so that he would know what it means to have ethical principles and the ways of the world, rather than the beastly desires of a red-blooded head.
This is not easy, Xue old generals military for a long time, only to let Xue Yuan experience the pain of the people on the border, let him because of the death of soldiers and anger. After Xue Yuan acted like a human being, Old General Xue had another headache of how he could be loyal to the king with his temperament.
How could such a thing be born in the house of a three-generation loyalist?
Ignorant of ethics, devoid of good and evil, as if I was a bad seed in my bones, and only when I grew up did I barely know how to pretend to be cold-blooded and not so scary.
Because of this, General Xue was overjoyed when he realized that Xue Yuan had developed a heart of loyalty to the king, thinking that the Xue family was saved and that there was no need to plagiarize the family. Afterwards, Xue Yuan was too attentive to the Emperor, but how could Xue Yuan's bad seed be like this to others? The more General Xue thought about it, the more worried he became, thinking that Xue Yuan was pretending, he was pretending to be loyal to the saint.
The better the saint treated Xue Yuan, the more apprehensive Old General Xue became. And now what does he know? His son was actually, actually thinking of the Holy Lord!
Elder General Xue cried snotty tears and was furious, "I deserve to die for my sins, I deserve to die for my sins."
If he had known this, he should have ruthlessly strangled Xue Yuan the day he was born.
If the ancestors of the Xue Mansion knew about this, they would be afraid that their ancestral graves would be filled with blood.
This must have nothing to do with His Holiness. If Xue Yuan is unwilling, the God of Heaven can not force him to do what he is not willing to do, it must be that he has risen to the heart of covetousness towards the saint, but also surprisingly really let this sinful son get his hands on it.
Old General Xue's heart was so cold that he almost didn't dare to think deeply about what Xue Yuan had done to His Holiness, just thinking about it made him faint in fear.
"It is I who did not teach my son well, it is my sin," Old General Xue choked, gray and ashamed side by side, "I would like to die to thank for my sins, and I shall not be allowed to live beyond this life even after I die."
It was all because of his momentary indulgence that His Holiness was subjected to such a crime and was confused by such a villain.
In a moment, Gu Yuanbai understood why Old General Xue looked like this.
He raised his eyebrows in some surprise and looked back and forth at Old General Xue several times, it couldn't be that Old General Xue hadn't understood the harshly worded hints he made the last time he came to the Xue Mansion?
"Xue Qing," his demeanor could be described as calm and gentle, "Get up."
At this time is still early, Xue old general's body is the morning dew thick, a look has been kneeling for a long time. Gu Yuanbai turned his head to look at Zhang Xu, and the head of the guards whispered, "I told the general to get up, but the general didn't listen and insisted on kneeling here. You haven't gotten up yet, and we don't dare to inform you."
Gu Yuanbai sighed.
If we are to seriously count, Old General Xue is still Daheng's "Abbot", he personally leaned down to help this loyal official up, and the emerald green jade trigger finger on his hand was reflected in Old General Xue's eyes.
Old General Xue shivered, remembering that when he was in the Northern Frontier, Xue Yuan had also carried such a jade trigger on his hand.
His knees, which had been about to rise, gave way and he fell heavily to the ground again.
Gu Yuanbai retreated back to Xue Yuan's courtyard with his men, the stone table was wet, and there were hidden drops of dew from the leaves.
The saint is not in a hurry, gentle attitude, said a lot of words, see Xue old general listened to the ears then let him go back. General Xue did not know how to go back to his bedroom, when he came back, Mrs. Xue was letting the maid comb her hair, and saw General Xue's muddled appearance, wondered, "What's wrong with this?"
Old General Xue's teeth knocked together, unable to say a word.
Mrs. Xue let the people retreat, walked over to her husband and sat down, and began to wipe up her tears, "Are you complaining about my son again?"
Elder General Xue didn't say anything this time.
"My son likes men then so be it, can you still beat him to death?" Mrs. Xue cried even harder, "Xue Ping, you give me a good explanation, my son in the end how you can be satisfied! As long as he doesn't harm people and doesn't force himself on them, isn't that all right?"
"Scourge, scourge," Old General Xue's fingers trembled, unable to hold back two lines of hot tears, "Madam, he ......"
Is that what you're doing?
That's a lot of work for a family.
Wiping his tears, Old General Xue's words changed, "He better be single-minded. If he dares to be double-minded, I'll be the first to chop him up!"
Mrs. Xue froze, "You're allowing this?"
Xue old general silence, Mrs. Xue but know that he is no longer count the meaning. She was overjoyed, stood up and could not help but walk around to express her joy, murmuring: "You and I are good to talk, but Mrs. Chu where it is not good to talk ah."
Old General Xue frowned, "What Mrs. Chu?"
Mrs. Xue couldn't help but laugh and sat down beside him again, saying in amusement, "You, you don't even know which man Yuan Ge'er's heart is pleased with. Yuan Ge'er's discerning eye, even if he likes a man, he won't like an ordinary person, Chu House's Chu Scholar, do you know?"
Xue old general heart born bad, sure enough, Mrs. Xue laughed: "people Chu Wei three yuan and the first, but also the saint in front of the eyes of the red man, is not my son like people?"
"Boom," he said, and his eyes went black.
Old General Xue's mouthful of old blood almost spewed out, sinful son, sinful son, he even dared to be duplicitous after confusing His Majesty!
The crime is simply punishable!
*
Xue Yuan does not yet realize that he has become a trifling prodigal son with his old father.
He traveled all the way to the capital, on the way to buy a lot of knick-knacks from all over the world, all intend to send to the saint to please. When he returned to the capital in a hurry, it was just a few days before the palace examination.
Now that spring is in full bloom, Xue Yuan's body is tired, but his spirit is extraordinarily high. He handed over his horse to the palace attendant and took the lead to go to the palace to see the Emperor.
He was very distraught.
Originally thought that the fastest January will be able to come back, the slowest can also be two months, Xue Yuan prepared the envelope is only two months, so far, I am afraid that the Holy Spirit has not seen a month he wrote those words of the heart.
I only hope that this month, His Holiness will be able to think of him from time to time even if he doesn't read the letter.
Xue Yuan sighed, his pace getting faster. The tumbling robes undulated like waves, Tian Fusheng had heard that Lord Xue had entered the palace a long time ago and hurriedly greeted him, "Lord Xue, you have finally returned."
Xue Yuan began by asking, "Where is His Majesty?"
Tian Fusheng said familiarly, "His Holiness is resting in his chambers, does Lord Xue want to go down and take a look now?"
Xue Yuan nodded of course, "I'll wash up and take a look around."
Those officials behind Xue Yuan were more surprised than surprised to hear one sentence and looked at each other.
A little later, Xue Yuan entered His Majesty's chambers all wet.
There was a person lying on the mattress, Xue Yuan quietly went up to see, and kept touching over the hair and hands and face of the saint, and I don't know how long it took before he sat down on the edge of the bed and interlocked his fingers with the sleeping Gu Yuanbai.
With a sweep of his remaining light, he swept a piece of letter paper by his pillow, and the familiar handwriting made Xue Yuan's heart flutter, and he took it over to see that it was really his own words.
Xue Yuan laughed silently and lowered his head to kiss the letter paper fiercely.
The heart was full and bulging with nowhere to vent this emotion.
One could only look at Gu Yuanbai, smoothing down his black hair one by one.
Gu Yuanbai frowned at this staring and slowly opened his eyes, and before his vision cleared, he saw a familiar figure leaning next to the bed.
All dressed in black and still smiling.
Gu Yuanbai lazily reached out his hand, and the figure bent down and skillfully hugged him to his body. His arms were weak from sleep, and Gu Yuanbai only thought he was dreaming, smelling the scent of Xue Yuan's neck and falling asleep again at ease.
Xue Yuan followed his spine, still wanting to say a few words to him on a personal level, but at this time, he could not help but kindly smile, "How can you sleep so well."
In a moment, I have to ask Tian Fusheng when His Holiness went to sleep last night. This is already an hour after the evening meal, but still so sleepy look.
It was only after a small half hour that Gu Yuanbai actually woke up.
He felt something was wrong when he opened his eyes and got up, wanting to get up, but Xue Yuan's palm was placed behind him to press him down. Gu Yuanbai carefully turned his head sideways, and Xue Yuan's eyes were closed, also asleep.
Surprisingly, it's back.
Gu Yuanbai blinked, "Xue Yuan?"
Xue Yuan slept soundly, hugging Gu Yuanbai and making faint snoring sounds.
Gu Yuanbai's voice increased a bit, "Xue Jiuyao."
Xue Yuan was still not awake, Gu Yuanbai looked around and everywhere was quiet. He was a little skeptical that he had slept and dreamed, that Xue Yuan hadn't actually come back, and that this person was now a fake.
He wanted to pinch himself to try, but was afraid that if it was not a dream it would hurt. Looked at Xue Yuan, the corner of his mouth slightly hooked, bad intentions, his hand along his pants touched in, heart is still quite spirited, around the side, violently plucked off a hair.
Xue Yuan swished his eyes open, pain "ow", the sound of the aftermath, completely shook Gu Yuanbai awake, "...... my ears."
Xue Yuan's expression was twisted and silkily pumped cold air, he had purposely organized himself before he came to see Gu Yuanbai, but now he could be said to have organized himself for nothing. He was in so much pain that he wanted to jump up, but with His Holiness sitting on top of him and his hand still in his pants, he could only coax, "Master Bai, hiss, let go of his hand, raise your hand high ah Master Bai."
Gu Yuanbai blinked, "It hurts?"
Xue Yuan huffed, "It hurts old man."
"Hush," Gu Yuanbai was a bit distracted, "Don't scream, Master will rub you."
Xue Yuan nodded in resignation.
It took a quarter of an hour of rubbing and several more words before the two came out of it.
The officials who went to Huainan with Xue Yuan were mainly from the Ministry of Revenue and the Hall of Political Affairs, and their faces were even more difficult to see, they looked exhausted, their eyes were lifeless when reporting, and their words were breathless. Gu Yuanbai directly let them go back to the house first to rest, but looked at Xue Yuan's spirited face, but still perceived the civil officials' frailty.
Often go out to do business officials, in addition to the Inspection Office of the officials, the other will have a variety of diseases occur. Most of them are not used to the soil or lack of wind and cold, such a body is really not good.
Gu Yuanbai thoughtfully pondered whether the timed exercise requirements and the National Games should begin to be formulated.
As far as Gu Yuanbai's physical fitness is concerned, he also knows that he cannot sit in front of his desk every day. The officials of the various government offices should be even more so, it is not easy to select out the talent, can not lose in the body.
