Misty Rain of the Old Times

Chapter 123 Missy

Reunion after a long separation in this world is already heart-wrenching, let alone the reunion of flesh and blood relatives.

The scene of Mrs. Gao and her daughter Gao Jingyu hugging each other moved all the viewers. At this moment, many people felt as if there was sand in their eyes. They were happy for them but also a little sad.

Children are the apple of their parents’ eyes. It seems cruel to think that they have not been able to see each other for so many years.

At times like this, even the coldest-hearted person has to pretend. It would be too much to treat it as a joke.

Chen Xuan couldn't remain indifferent. He was happy for the mother-daughter reunion and felt quite emotional, but he wasn't so moved that he cried.

By the way, he also observed Miss Gao, whose name he had heard of for a long time. Chen Xuan was originally from the Gao family and was standing in one of the main positions, so it was not considered as peeking or infringing.

This Miss Gao looks 80% similar to Madam Gao. Even though she has been a wife for many years, she still looks young. People would believe her if she said she was only 20 years old. As a princess, she lives a life of luxury. She is not like an ordinary peasant woman who works hard for a few years and becomes old and ugly before she is 30.

She is definitely beautiful, otherwise the prince would not have kept her by his side just based on her strength. Putting aside her youth, her appearance is even better than Madam Gao's.

However, she was not like Mrs. Gao, who seemed to radiate gentleness and virtue from the inside out. Instead, she was very noble. Even when she was crying, she still looked dignified and elegant. Perhaps it was because of her martial arts training, but there was a heroic air between her eyebrows.

She was dressed in a gorgeous outfit, with gold and silver threads interwoven together, and many places embellished with exquisite gems of various colors. It looked a little dazzling in the sunlight, especially the red hairpins and jewelry on her head, at least more than ten pieces, estimated to weigh one or two kilograms, but she didn't feel tired at all.

This reminded Chen Xuan of the first time he met Mrs. Gao, whose head was also covered with jewelries. Maybe it was hereditary. Perhaps all women were the same, they liked exquisite ornaments and wanted to fill their heads with them. However, with her status, it was convenient for her to occasionally take off a piece of jewelry from her head to reward others when she was happy, which was better than carrying a large bag of silver and money with her.

Then, although she behaved like an ordinary woman meeting her relatives, Chen Xuan could still feel an incomparable aura of danger from her. It was not the oppression brought by her identity. To make an inappropriate analogy, it was like the instinctive fear of a mouse seeing a cat.

She is like a docile beast in front of Madam Gao. She will only show her obedience to special people on special occasions. If you dare to offend her and show her fangs, she will probably "eat you"!

He didn't stare at the person, that would be inappropriate. After a quick look at Chen Xuan, he looked away, and seemed to share the same sympathy as everyone else.

But I was thinking in my heart, this Miss Gao seems as weak as a little girl in front of Madam Gao, but in fact she is very reserved, like a deep pool without ripples. She must be a congenital master. What will happen if she takes action?

Chen Xuan also practices martial arts himself, so he is naturally curious about other people's methods, especially those at a higher level.

It's speechless to say that he has never had a chance to fight in the Gao family over the years, and he has not even seen the scene of real fighting. When he was bought by the housekeeper He and taken away from the street, he was fortunate enough to witness a dispute in the martial arts world. That should be considered a dispute in the martial arts world, right?

But after arriving at the Gao family, all the "wind and rain" seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier.

But it's a good thing after all, otherwise Chen Xuan would have grown up quietly until now.

In a blink of an eye, Chen Xuan saw another familiar face, the eunuch Li who had come to the Gao family to announce the good news. He was standing in front of the carriage frame in the distance with his head lowered, like a piece of wood standing there, as if he couldn't bear to look at the scene of the mother and daughter reuniting in front of him.

"Yu'er, be good. Don't be sad. You should be happy. Get up quickly. You are a mother now. Why are you crying?" Mrs. Gao helped Gao Jingyu up and comforted her, with tears streaming down her face.

Gao Jingyu didn't care about that, but still stood up and choked up and said: "In front of my mother, my daughter will always be a child"

"Well, you are my good child. Come here, let me take a good look at you. You are an adult now, not the little girl with a runny nose."

"Mom~~", these words made Gao Jingyu feel sad but also burst into tears and laughter.

The mother and daughter spent a few moments together, and their emotions finally calmed down a little.

Gao Jingming, who was extremely excited before, now seemed a little embarrassed. He missed his sister so much before they met, and after meeting, he probably recalled the scene of being suppressed by his sister when he was a child.

But he still couldn't help but walked over and said: "Sister"

Gao Jingyu turned around immediately upon hearing the voice. Reluctant to leave Madam Gao's side, she waved and said excitedly, "Little brother, you've grown so big now. Come here and let me take a look. I almost didn't recognize you."

It was definitely his biological sister. Gao Jingming immediately walked over with brisk steps, and the three of them were having a great time together as a family.

After all, in front of so many people, after the initial excitement, Mrs. Gao regained her composure. Looking at her two children with eyes full of satisfaction, she said, "Let's go home."

"Yes, let's go home," Gao Jingyu nodded heavily. Then the three of them boarded Madam Gao's carriage. At this moment, for Gao Jingyu, the people who came with her from the palace were not as important as her mother, so naturally they had to talk to each other from the bottom of their hearts.

A large group of people returned to the Gao family. Naturally, the housekeeper He would take care of those people in the palace, so Chen Xuan didn't need to worry about it.

Chen Xuan thought to himself that he had done nothing but joined in the fun, and also watched a scene of deep affection between mother and daughter, which made him feel a little bad. He should have known not to come, but he just thought about it and had no choice.

The way back to Gao's house was naturally the center of attention, but after returning home, Chen Xuan had nothing to do. As an outsider, he had no right to stand by when the family was reunited.

However, Gao Jingyu is the princess outside, but when she returns to the Gao family, she is the eldest daughter. Even the trip to the palace is arranged by her. She can be said to be enjoying the long-lost love of her parents again.

No one knew what they talked about, but Gao Jingming returned to the courtyard late at night with red eyes. He must have been crying. It was not appropriate for him to spend the night at Mrs. Gao's house at his age.

The next morning, Gao Jingming ran away again without Chen Xuan. He probably went to look for his sister. Chen Xuan was happy to be free and relaxed, drinking tea and reading books, so he didn't want to take the initiative to approach and be humble.

Chen Xuan paid a little attention last night. The entire Gao family was heavily guarded. Not only could flies not fly in, but any birds that approached would be shot down. He did not make any unnecessary moves. He just pretended to be invisible.

Chen Xuan's peaceful life was not broken until the third day after Gao Jingyu returned.

That morning, he was drinking tea and reading in the courtyard when he heard Gao Jingming say outside, "Ah Xuan, come out quickly. Look who's here."

Chen Xuan had already heard the sound of approaching footsteps. He stood up and looked, and saw Gao Jingyu and his sister coming to the courtyard, followed by Xiao Cai and Xiao Ye. However, there were no unfamiliar people from the palace.

After all, she is in the Gao family, and Gao Jingyu will not bring the royal family's style to her parents' home, otherwise she will have difficulty living here.

When I saw Gao Jingyu again two days later, she was no longer dressed up. Instead, she was wearing a white dress with no makeup on. Even her hair was styled like a girl, and there were no more tons of jewelry on her head.

At this moment, she had shed the grace and elegance of a princess and looked like an unmarried girl, but she gave Chen Xuan the feeling of a decisive female hero.

In fact, this is the real her. Before she married Prince Qing, Gao Jingyu was a man of the world, learning martial arts in a sect called Feiyu Sect. It is rumored that Feiyu Sect is one of the five major sects in the entire Jingguo martial arts world.

Feiyu Sect is mostly composed of women. Gao Jingyu was originally gifted in martial arts and was trained as the successor of the sect. Her fate changed when she met Prince Qing, which made many people in the martial arts world sigh. However, since it involved the royal family, it was not appropriate to discuss it too much. As time went by, Gao Jingyu gradually faded out of the martial arts world.

The information he had learned over the past few years flashed through his mind, and Chen Xuan immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Miss."

In the Gao family, they are in a superior-subordinate relationship, so "pay your respects" is more appropriate. If she is outside as a princess, she has to use the word "pay your respects". But no matter what, as long as it is not a special occasion, there is no need to perform grand ceremony. It is not customary to kneel down at every turn in Jing State, and Chen Xuan has made great achievements, so there is no need for that.

Gao Jingyu was obviously very satisfied with the title of Miss. Without putting on airs, she waved her hand and said, "No need to be polite. You must be Chen Xuan, right? I have often written to you and mentioned you over the years. I am a naughty boy, so I am sorry to bother you all these years."

"It's my job, not worth the trouble. Please take a seat, Miss," Chen Xuan said quickly.

Gao Jingyu withdrew his gaze and looked around, saying with some reminiscence: "Don't worry about me, I am also very familiar with this place. Although not much has changed after many years, things and people have changed."

Having said that, she felt a little speechless. This Chen Xuan was neither humble nor arrogant in front of her. You have to know that in the entire Gao family, except for her mother and brother, including her aunt, everyone was cautious when seeing her. Only Chen Xuan was special. Although his words and deeds were well-behaved, he seemed to have a sense of pride in his bones. When he saw her, his eyes were calm, which showed that he treated her as an equal. Where did he get the confidence from?
interesting.

But no matter what, Chen Xuan is her younger brother's servant. They have grown up together for many years, and their relationship is probably closer than that of her, a sister who has been away from her for many years. So no matter how much she finds him interesting, she will not show it. As long as he doesn't do anything to let down his family, what's the big deal if he has a bit of personality?

At this moment, Gao Jingming was winking at Chen Xuan, as if to say, "What do you think? My sister is very easy to talk to."

Chen Xuan nodded slightly in response, and the two smiled at each other, a tacit understanding developed over the years.

This eldest lady is really not arrogant at all. Everyone in the Gao family is easy to talk to. After all, they are a family.

After looking around the small courtyard for a while, which was only so big, Gao Jingyu finished his round in no time. He showed no intention of leaving and suddenly said, "Little brother, Chen Xuan, well, I'll call you Xuan too. I think you should know that Leng Bing was sent by me to protect my safety when traveling. You have been together so often over the years. Have you noticed anything unusual about her recently?"

Why are you asking this all of a sudden?
