Gu Zhao stared at her back dumbfounded. When he reacted, he kicked the concierge angrily and cursed: "You stupid and brainless thing! Now you can let anyone in if you want to see me?"

He ignored the apologetic concierge and turned around angrily and returned to the hospital.

On the road, Gu Zhao, who was originally walking in a hurry, walked slower and slower. He thought of the strange look in the old man's eyes and felt something was wrong. After thinking about it, he still couldn't feel relieved, so he called his confidant and asked him to check on the man just now.

The harsh winter in the capital has passed, buds have sprouted on the roadsides in the inner city, and the moat has begun to gradually thaw.

Along with the arrival of early spring, there are also students who are going to Beijing to take the exam. They gather together in twos and threes, either outing in the suburbs and reciting poems, or in brothels, flirting with familiar singing girls, and then writing for them.

A few poems, lyrics and rhymes create a romantic story.

Lin Chonghan and Lin Shijing arrived at the largest pier in the capital, preparing to pick up their father's relatives. Although Lin Shijing was not leaving, his cousin Lin Ziqiu was leaving to participate in the examination.

They didn't wait long when the tall ship docked on the shore. People who had been wandering on the lake for a long time hurriedly got off the ship and came to the land. Amidst the bustle of people, Lin Shijing had difficulty identifying his cousin Lin Ziqiu.

The two hadn't seen each other for a while and were very surprised to see each other.

"Cousin," Lin Chonghan greeted him and then asked, "Where is Mei Niang?"

Lin Ziqiu was slightly startled, but quickly realized what he was doing. He turned sideways and let his sister step forward.

Lin Wushuang is wearing a bamboo hat, so it is difficult for others to see her true face, but her figure is elegant and thin, and she has the posture of a plum blossom that is loved by scholars.

Because she was born in winter, there happened to be a wintersweet blooming outside the window, so she got the nickname "Mei Niang".

Lin Chonghan and she were childhood playmates and had a close relationship. When they grew up, they often exchanged letters. She quickly went to hold her cousin's hand and said with a smile: "It's good to come, it's good to come."

Lin Wushuang's beautiful eyes were filled with tears: "I haven't seen my cousin for a long time. I wonder if my cousin is okay?"

The crowded pier was obviously not a good place to reminisce about old times, and everyone knew it, so after seeing each other, they got into the carriage together and drove staggeringly towards the Lin Mansion.

When the carriage arrived at the Lin Mansion, Lin Guangqing had been waiting for a long time. He had a rest today and was able to entertain his nephew.

After eating, Lin Chonghan asked someone to arrange the courtyard for Lin Ziqiu, and then took Lin Wushuang to his room. They always slept together when they were children, and they did so when they grew up.

Lin Wushuang walked in the front yard and felt disappointed, but she still said, "Cousin, aren't you at home?"

"Not here." Lin Chonghan knew that she was worried about Lin Yizhou. "My brother is still in the south and won't be able to come back during the Chinese New Year this year."

Lin Wushuang had liked Lin Yizhou since she was a child, and had always wanted to marry him when she grew up. Lin Guangqing was happy to see the marriage come to fruition, but Lin Yizhou had been unwilling, so the matter was delayed.

"I see."

Lin Wushuang's eyes were filled with sadness. She was seventeen this year. If Lin Yizhou didn't want to, she would have to marry someone else next year.

Seeing her cousin like this, Lin Chonghan felt uncomfortable, but she knew that love has no meaning. If Lin Yizhou didn't want to, even Lin Guangqing wouldn't be able to force her.

Lin Wushuang quietly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Don't talk about this. My cousin and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and we still have a lot to say."

"That's the truth," Lin Chonghan pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed and carefully wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, "Mei Niang, love is the most precious thing in the world, but you have to know that love is not everything in life.

"

She enlightened her: "Look at Lu You and Tang Wan, no matter how deep their love is, they have to part ways in the end; look at me, even if we are divorced now, we are still living well."

"What?!" Lin Wushuang was surprised, "Cousin, you actually divorced?!"

Damn it, Lin Chonghan suddenly remembered that that period was so chaotic that she even forgot to mention it to Lin Wushuang.

So she had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell Lin Wushuang her history of marriage again. The little girl was fascinated by what she heard. At one moment she was so angry that she scolded Gu Zhao for being "sightless", and at the next she cried that it was not easy for Lin Chonghan to be alone.

Later, when Gu Qingzhang came back, Lin Chonghan hid some things and didn't say anything.

"Cousin," Lin Wushuang looked at her seriously, as if he could see the most secret corner of her heart at a glance, "You are happy with Ning'an, right?"

Lin Chonghan's face turned red. She covered her mouth almost in embarrassment and whispered: "Girl, what are you talking about?"

Lin Wushuang smiled and rolled her eyes. Her eyes were so small that they shone like stars, making it difficult to look away: "But I'm right, you do admire him. You once told me when you were young that you have a sweetheart, and I

I guess it’s the Marquis of Ning’an.”

She was so sharp that it frightened Lin Chonghan.

"But he and I are destined not to be together."

"why?"

Lin Chonghan lay on the bed, depressed: "Because he is Gu Zhao's biological brother. Since I have married Gu Zhao, how can I marry him again."

Lin Wushuang fell down together with her, and the two turned to face each other. From such a short distance, Lin Chonghan could even see the tiny hairs on her face.

"But you are in love," she said seriously, "two people who love each other should be together. Just like Zhang Sheng and Yingying, they are together."

"You peeked at miscellaneous books!"

"If you didn't peek, how would you know about Zhang Sheng Yingying? It means you also peeked."

The two looked at each other for a moment and smiled in unison.

Lin Chonghan sighed: "It's true that the more I live, the more I go back. Now I am just like before I left the cabinet, talking about this with you."

"That's right," Lin Wushuang rested his arms on his head and looked up at the curtains on the bed, "You used to be old-fashioned and sophisticated, but it's so tiring to live like this. It would be nice to be more comfortable."

Lin Chonghan half stood up. She looked at her charming cousin tenderly and thought to herself: This is still a child.

Huang Si hurriedly walked through the corridor and came to Gu Zhao's courtyard. He was a son of the Gu family. His mother was lucky enough to nurse the second young master, and he became the young master's nanny brother and his confidant.

"Master."

Huang Si knocked on the door carefully. After getting Gu Zhao's consent, he opened the door and closed it carefully.

"Found it," he walked quickly to Gu Zhao and whispered, "I asked someone to dress up and talk to her. She said that she came to the capital this time to see her grandson."

Gu Zhao was drinking. He poured himself another glass. After hearing this, he said to himself: "Look at grandson, it seems that you have made a mistake?"

Huang Si looked hesitant. When Gu Zhao saw it, he said impatiently: "Just tell me if you have anything to say."

"I asked people to ask around. As soon as this old lady entered the capital, she went straight to our Gu family," he rolled his eyes uneasily, "and after going to the Gu family, she didn't go anywhere. She went straight to the city gate.

He should be leaving the city."
