The spring rain ruthlessly watered the flowers. After the rain stopped, people discovered that the spring rain that followed the thunderous thunder finally withered the delicate flowers, leaving only fallen flowers on the ground. Gu Ruosu moved a chair and sat down. In a small pavilion near Xie Ruqing's study, there were expensive silver filigree lights beside her, she was wearing a silver-white fox fur cloak, and she was holding the most famous script book in Kyoto in her hand, but Gu Ruosu's eyes were... He did not stay on the books, but kept staring at the closed study door, paying attention to the occasional conversations between the grandfather and grandson inside.
After the silver carbon furnace was filled with carbon twice, Gu Ruosu watched the closed study slowly open.
Xie Ruqing opened the door expressionlessly. Then, when she saw Gu Ruosu, she immediately put on a smiling face like a breeze and walked towards Gu Ruosu. Behind her, Xie Ruqing lowered her head and looked silently. Xie Changbai's expression was unclear.
"Why are you sitting here waiting? Didn't I ask you to wait in our room for me to go back? Although the silver charcoal is burned here, it is not exposed to the wind. I am worried about getting sick." Xie Ruqing walked to Gu Ruosu and looked at Gu Ruosu's " He couldn't help but worry, but he couldn't bear to blame him. He could only sigh and stretched out his hand to tuck Gu Ruosu's cloak again.
"I'm still young. It's not so easy to get sick at the first sign of illness. It's obvious that you are old and have reached the age of health care...making a fuss out of a molehill..." Gu Ruosu was dissatisfied with Xie Ruqing treating her like a child and immediately retorted, But in the end, I couldn't help but keep silent.
"Well, Gu Gu, I didn't hear what you just said clearly. Please say it again." Xie Ruqing's smile deepened.
"Hahaha... I said... I said... you are right. I am getting older and I should really take care of myself... Hahaha." Gu Ruosu looked at Xie Ruqing and smiled like a big-tailed wolf. , quickly gave in, and then immediately changed the topic and said:
"By the way, what did you and Changbai just say inside? You just came out after the rain stopped."
"You will always be eighteen when you are here with me. You are the most beautiful little lady." Xie Ruqing looked at Gu Ruosu who was fawning over her like a little fox. She couldn't help but reached out and touched Gu Ruosu's head, and then said:
"Changbai and I talked about a lot of things inside. You may not like to hear them all. Let Changbai pick up a few important things and talk to you first. The rest will be left to the two of us in the evening. I Talk to you again."
"Changbai, come forward and talk to your grandmother."
When his name was called, Xie Changbai quickly raised his head, walked to Gu Ruosu, saluted and said:
"Grandma, my grandson and my grandfather had a long talk in the study. Under my grandfather's earnest instruction, my grandson decided that tomorrow morning, my grandson would set off south, take the names of his grandfather and father to Huaizhou, and go to Huaizhou. I have studied hard under my father's teacher, Mr. He. In the future, I will be successful in my studies and I will return home."
"Huaizhou is thousands of miles away. If you want to find a great scholar, I'll talk to your grandfather and find one in the capital. Besides, I've heard that Mr. He is your father's master. But many years ago, your father opened his own school, which is contrary to the views held by Mr. He. Their master-disciple relationship can be said to be like fire and water. Now you are still asking for trouble with your father's name tag. Well?" When Gu Ruosu heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, fearing that Xie Changbai couldn't bear the blow of broken love for a while and got angry and made ridiculous actions, which would harm himself.
However, Gu Ruosu's earnest persuasion did not sway Xie Changbai's thoughts. Xie Changbai only shook his head and said: "Grandma, my grandson knows that you are worried about me, but my grandson has really grown up after this matter. I hope that no one will only blame himself for not working hard enough. This time my grandson has made up his mind to work hard, learn something, and do something in his career."
"My grandson, I understand that if I want to truly grow up this time, I must completely break away from the Xie family's dependence. However, I cannot let go of the blood and family ties with my grandson, and I don't want to let go of them. But my grandson wants to grow up again. , My grandson has thought about it, and only Mr. He, who is fair and honest, has a lot of knowledge, and is not afraid of the power of my Xie family, my grandson must go this time, and I hope my grandmother will make it happen."
After saying that, Xie Changbai bowed deeply again.
Gu Ruosu looked at Xie Changbai's appearance and understood that the child had made up his mind, so he stopped obstructing his advice, sighed and said:
"Then go, it's cold in Huaizhou, remember to bring more clothes."
"Thank you grandma, grandma. My grandson will definitely not be able to come back for many years. I hope grandma will take care of me. The grandson's time with grandma is not long, but it is better than the past ten years of my grandson's life. This is the first time for my grandson." When I know it’s cold, someone puts on extra clothes, when it’s hot, someone gives me fruit, when I’m sick, someone expresses condolences, when I’m in a bad mood, someone asks what life is like, grandma, in the past, my grandson did some stupid things, and I hope, grandma Forgive me, grandma. I wish you and your grandfather a long and healthy life in the future, and wait for your grandson to come back and be filial to you two." Xie Changbai has many unknown things hidden in his heart, and he has been carrying forward with a heavy burden. I just want to say my simple condolences today. Regardless of Ruosu, it was unexpected that the words "dress more when the weather is cold" suddenly cut through Xie Changbai's heart for a long time like a sharp blade. Perhaps, the family warmth he pursued in Hai Pingting was actually long gone. Before he knew it, he came to his side, but what he discovered was that it was too late...
At this moment, Xie Changbai knelt on the ground and spoke every word from the bottom of his heart without any false words. He really hoped that Gu Ruosu would be healthy and live a long life. He also hoped that Gu Ruosu would be able to understand what he had done after his grandfather knew what he had done. , forgive him.
"Oh, I understand, please stop being sensational, otherwise it will be like a separation between life and death. Isn't it just that you are going to study abroad...to study, it's not like you won't come back, okay, okay, your grandmother is better than your aunt. Be younger. I won't die when your aunt dies, so why do you have to do so?" Gu Ruosu couldn't help but feel helpless when looking at this attitude that only appeared in life and death. Isn't it just to study here? There's no need. Kneeling and expressing her heartfelt feelings, those who didn’t know thought she really didn’t have long to live...
When Xie Changbai heard this, he held back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes. It seemed that his grandmother was right, his aunt was still alive and well. Why, it seemed that, indeed, this kind of death was still happening. It's not his grandmother's turn.
"Okay, since what you said to your grandmother is almost the same, you can go back and pack your things first. I will tell you later to prepare your carriage and horses for tomorrow's trip. If you miss your grandmother, you can also write to her. Just Remember, you have chosen this path yourself, and you must never regret it easily. You must never return home unless you have achieved success in your studies." Xie Ruqing spoke up and brought the matter back to the point.
"Yes, grandson understands. Grandson bids farewell to his grandparents." After Xie Changbai finished speaking, he turned to leave, but in the end, Xie Ruqing seemed to have thought of something again and stopped Xie Changbai.
"You have always gone out to study as a descendant of my Xie family. We descendants of the Xie family, in your generation, have grown up and followed Mu. Your name is Cong Chang, but you are Congmu. If you study abroad in the future, you will inevitably Some people use this to attack you. Today, I will take the decision and give you a new name."
Just when Xie Ruqing said this, Xie Changbai turned around with an expression of disbelief, plopped, and knelt on the ground again. He was born in the Chu Hall of Qinlou, and only when he was old enough to remember did he really return to the Xie family. Although he has returned to the Xie family for many years, this name has always been a hidden pain in his heart. This name seems to have been reminding him and everyone of his origins and his unknown identity.
He originally thought that such humiliation would follow him throughout his life, but he never expected that today... he would be able to truly become a member of the Xie family... like all the brothers... grow up and grow up...
"Your real name is Changbai. If you directly add the character "木" to your "白", it will conflict with your brother Changbai's name.
Therefore, I thought about it and felt that I had completely eliminated the white character. I thought of it and took the word olive. There is a fruit in your grandmother's hometown called olive, also called green fruit and also called loyalty fruit. Grandpa, I hope you can grow it in the future. As a husband who is loyal to the king, patriotic, and loyal to the faith that you have followed throughout your life, I would like to name you Changyou. "
"My grandson is willing, and my grandson Xie Changli is willing. My grandson will take loyalty to the emperor and patriotism as his own responsibility in this life, and make it the goal he pursues throughout his life. My grandson will definitely live up to the high expectations of his grandparents!" Xie Changli immediately kowtowed. Nodding his head, he replied loudly to show his determination.
Xie Ruqing nodded and shouted. At this moment, Xie Ruqing, for some reason, seemed to see the shadow of his feared junior brother in his cowardly grandson...

Xie Ruqing did not deliberately suppress the news about what happened in the pavilion in Xie Ruqing's study. Instead, he helped those "little eyes" spread the news. No one knows how everyone in the Xie family reacted. , I only know that each yard more or less reimbursed a batch of porcelain to Haishi on the next day.
Before the rooster crows the next day, there are already two or three simple carriages at the door of Xie's house. While everyone is still sleeping, Xie Changliu quietly walks by wearing a long robe. Accompanied by his servants, he walked out of the gate of Duke Yan's mansion.
"I have met Young Master Changli. This is Zhui Feng who is beside Mr. Guo. Mr. Guo said that the old lady is still dreaming at this moment. He did not want to disturb the old lady Mengxiang, so he did not come to see her off, but specifically I have ordered my subordinates to escort you all the way south, and when you return from your studies, Master, it will also be the time for me to return."
"Brother Zhui Feng, please go south with me."
"I don't dare. This is the duty of my subordinates. Young Master, please get on the bus early. Huaizhou has high mountains and long roads. If we hurry up, we may be able to go to Huaizhou to look for Mr. He in the summer." Zhui Feng looked at Xie Changli stared at the empty door for a long time and couldn't help but say.
"Okay, let's go..." After Xie Changli heard this, he stared blankly at the empty door for a moment. Finally, accompanied by Zhui Feng, he withdrew his eyes, turned around, and got into the carriage. .
Zhui Feng turned out to be a member of the army, and was specially recruited by Xie Ruqing to protect Xie Changli. Therefore, he did things very neatly and drove the car very fast. He waited for Xie Changliu to sit firmly, then drove away, letting the man The beautiful figure that was chased out at the last moment was thrown into the air, and only the dust kicked up by Xie Changli's carriage was seen.
"Miss! Miss! Mr. Changbai has left... Let's go back. If others find out, all our plans these days will be in vain!"
"He left...Chun Yu, will he never come back..." At this point, the woman seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and threw herself on the maid's body and started crying.
"Miss..." Chunyu looked helplessly at Hai Pingting in her arms. She knew that her young lady was not taking full advantage of Xie Changbai, but showed her true feelings. However, she also understood that there was no turning back after starting work. The young lady actually chose such a path, so she shouldn't be acting out of emotion...
"Miss, let's go back. Don't cry. For your own sake and for the sake of your dead wife, you can't do this anymore. You are a lady. If your behavior today is known to Xuancheng Hou's family, Then Miss, all the hard work you and Madam have put in over the years have been in vain... Madam's only wish in this life is that you can marry a good son-in-law from a high family..."
"Yes... Chun Yu, you are right... You can't blame me for this, right... I was forced to do nothing... He only loves me, but he can't give me the best life, and he doesn't want to listen to me. If he has to choose between me and his grandmother, then there’s nothing wrong with me doing this... I just don’t want to live up to my mother’s expectations...” Hai Pingting kept saying these words. , seemingly seeking Chunyu’s approval.
When Chunyu heard this, she couldn't help but snorted in her heart. Although she hadn't read any books, she knew that filial piety comes first. For her own selfish desires, Hai Pingting agreed to that person to harm Gu Ruosu, the ancestor of this family. She still wants to use Xie Changbai's hand, regardless of Xie Changbai's position, but still insists on shaping her pure and innocent image. It is really disgusting, but she is just a servant, and Hai Pingting is her master. What could she say?
What's more, Hai Pingting's mother is a truly good person who saved her family's lives. All she can do is protect Hai Pingting for her dead mother.
"Yes, yes, you are right, girl. You are not thanking your family. People who do not care for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth. You are right to do this. Be good, my good girl, come back with me quickly..."
Chunyu was afraid that someone would discover her conversation with Hai Pingting, so she hurriedly tried to comfort her before pulling Hai Pingting back, but she didn't know that all her conversations with Hai Pingting had been collected by one person. fundus……
