When Xu Xiaole returned to the guest house, the street had already returned to peace. In the darkness of the lights, there was still a 26-slight shaking figure, which was a secret whistle arranged by the garrison army.

The Jinyiwei had already had dinner and returned to his posts to guard the guest house from front to back to prevent thieves from coming in.

The Gao family and his daughter have not eaten yet and have to wait for Xu Xiaole to come back.

Xu Xiaole met Gao Zhifu and Gao Ruonan and said, "Why do you wait for me? Just eat first." He said that, but looking at the dinner that just came out on the table, it was still very happy that someone would eat with him.

Gao Zhifu said: "I am imprisoned and I have long stopped paying attention to etiquette. I waited for you to eat because of multiple people. Alas, I'm about to go to Beijing, and there will be only one person to eat in the future."

Gao Ruonan served Xu Xiaole with rice, and tears could still be seen on his face.

Xu Xiaole knew that the pressure in Beijing was a little breathless. Once he entered the city, he would part ways. Gao Zhifu definitely had no Yangguan Road to go, and he didn't even look at the single-plank bridge. He was really going to the gate of hell.

Xu Xiaole said, "Actually, maybe when you arrive at the capital, the emperor will have forgotten about you long ago."

The Gao Zhifu drooped the corners of his mouth and said softly: "How could the Holy Emperor know that I am such a small official? Isn't it that the superiors want people to take the blame and vent their anger?"

Xu Xiaole thought to himself: This is probably even more miserable than the emperor killing him. If you die at the hands of the emperor, you can even be called a loyal minister. Maybe the next emperor will rehabilitate him and give him a nice posthumous title. If you die at the hands of the treacherous minister, you can only be called a loyal minister. The emperor will most likely express regrets.

This treatment is really a world of difference.

Seeing the solemn atmosphere on the table, Gao Zhifu raised his voice and laughed dryly, saying, "Maybe I, Gao Zhiyuan, have made a name for him in history books because of this!" He seemed to have the motivation of life again and said to Xu Xiaole: "I can scold the thief and die! Now Jingtai steals the throne and occupy the law. The Holy Emperor returns to the palace and does not return to power. This is actually an act of usurping the throne! I will scold them, these treacherous ministers, are not kings, and it is also easy to leave a reputation!"

Xu Xiaole's heart trembled: Your mind is turning very quickly, but this is really an opportunity to exchange your life for your reputation in history!

Gao Ruonan knew that his father would die if he really said this. Tears fell down and advised: "Father, if you confess your guilt, you can live a way out. Let's confess your guilt. I heard that officials will always have a chance to recover."

Gao Zhifu remained silent and was planning his hope of survival. He has been in trouble for a long time, and the outside world has been completely closed. I don’t know if his fellow villagers rescued him in the same year. If he could really be demoted, he would rather go to the border area to survive for a few years.

Xu Xiaole was relieved to see that his determination to be loyal to the Supreme Emperor was not very firm. He said, "That's right, even the ants are alive, let alone you Wenquxing, who have finally passed the Jinshi exam, must keep a useful body to be loyal to the Holy Lord. If the Supreme Emperor is restored in a few years, you die early, it will be unworthy."

Gao Zhifu said, "Xiaole, you have made sense. Even if I endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, I will try my best to keep the clouds clear and the moon bright."

Xu Xiaole laughed and said, "Okay, OK, today is not all a bad thing. At least I have made some money. Let's use our chopsticks now!"

Gao Ruonan was about to avoid it, but when he heard the Gao Magistrate say, "Ruonan, you can eat here too."

Gao Ruonan was dressed as a man outside and had dinner with other men at the same table, but was still very shy in front of his father, and his face turned red in an instant.

Gao Zhifu cleared his throat and said, "It's time to make it clear." He waited for his daughter to sit down and said, "Ruonan, you have already had an engagement."

Xu Xiaole raked in her heart, wanting to escape.

He didn't know how to face his engagement. He had never heard of it in 16 years, and suddenly he would have a wife. It was more like a frightened person than a surprise. He was especially afraid that after having a wife, his life would change beyond recognition, because his sister-in-law always said: I will do whatever I want when you have a wife.

The blush on Gao Ruonan's face had not yet subsided, and he looked at his father.

Gao Zhifu said bluntly: "It's Xiaole."

Gao Ruonan let out a light cry and almost fell off the stool.

Xu Xiaole smiled awkwardly, touched her nose, and said, "I know it's not long."

Seeing Xu Xiaole's appearance, Gao Zhifu sighed and said, "However, I said it today, not to want you to get married."

Xu Xiaole and Gao Ruonan both looked at the Gao Magistrate with strangeness.

Gao Zhifu said: "Xiaole, I actually had the idea of ​​remorse my marriage before. Don't blame me for being unrighteous. I also want my daughter to marry a Hanlin and live a good life as a noble lady."

Xu Xiaole had no grudges, but instead felt much more relaxed, saying, "It's understandable. If I had a daughter, I would definitely want her to marry a good family with a good family."

Gao Zhifu breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had removed his huge burden.

If he was such a snob, he would not have any entanglement. Just pretend that he had forgotten it, and it would be easy to find a way to send Xu Xiaole far away. It was because he still had friendship with Xu Rong in his heart and was still pedantic and pedantic, which tortured him all the way.

Seeing that Xu Xiaole had no idea of ​​getting married with her, although Gao Ruonan did not admire Xu Xiaole, he was also somewhat humiliated by others, and he lowered his head deeply. She said in her mind: It turned out that her father did not have an illegitimate child in Suzhou, but he had a marriage. But the other person still looked down on her. It was said that it was a lucky thing to not marry her.

The Gao Zhifu picked up a glass of wine on the table, drank it all, and said, "Now I am going to go to the imperial prison, which can be said to be a life-and-death death. Logically speaking, my daughter entrusted it to you, I should be very glad." The wine fell into my sorrow, and whether it was alcohol or sadness, the Gao Zhifu's eyes turned red in an instant. He said, "But Xiaole, I can only regret the marriage at this time."

Seeing the two young men's faces confusing, Gao Zhifu said: "Xiaole, you are the one who wants to go to the Imperial Hospital. Where is the Imperial Hospital? The peak of doctors in the world are all people who prescribe medicine for the royal treatment. How can such a place accommodate a person who is unclear or unfair?"

Xu Xiaole said in a daze: "My family is very innocent after five generations."

Gao Zhifu shook his head: "If you marry my daughter, you won't be innocent." He held back his tears and said to Gao Ruonan: "Daughter, Daddy has harmed you, from now on you will be the daughter of an official. Whoever you marry is 'resentful', and your career is unsatisfactory. Daddy can't stand it anyway, so I can only advise you: marry a farmer and take care of your husband and children. Maybe your children and grandchildren will be blessed in the future and you will be able to get a title."

Gao Ruonan felt his heart empty and cried out: "No daughter can marry anyone!"
