It was about ten years later that Gao Xu moved into a new house in Chunjiang District, Taicang City.

In the previous time, he entrusted a decoration company to carry out simple repairs, line inspections and other work, and also entrusted a housekeeping company to clean and disinfect the whole. Because the labor is expensive, Gao Xu spent a lot of money. It is said that many wealthy families do these things themselves.

Everything was ready, and Gao Xu took Miaojin to his new home.

The house is located on the side of the asphalt road in the interior of the house, which is not very spacious. It belongs to the modern style, light color tone, the main body is a two-story small building, the roof is covered with special tiles, and you can't see any traditional cultural style. There is no Oriental style characterized by the overhanging or resting summits, nor is there any Persian or European architectural features. The houses in the whole neighborhood are like this, probably planned.

Of course, there is no lawn, the front door next to the garage, and only a relatively small yard. There were a few evergreens planted in the small yard, but they were fenced off with a low fence. Then there is the main entrance of the house.

The backyard behind the house is the real yard, and the fence really has the function of isolation and protection. The backyard is centered on a swimming pool with a variety of leisure facilities, potted plants and other ornamental plants.

In addition, there is a master control robot in the house, and the appearance is made into a girl image with a simple demeanor, but unfortunately the bottom is a wheel. This robot can control all circuits, water and gas switches, as well as some small intelligent robots, such as sweeping robots, sprinkler robots, etc.; and can follow the master's voice commands.

Miao Jin walked around as soon as she came, still holding a notebook and jotting down something, as if she was going to rearrange this place. Her habit seems to be the same as that of Gao Xu, who likes to write on paper.

Gao Xu couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to class?" ”

Miaojin turned his head and smiled: "All my courses are excellent, and it's okay to skip class occasionally." ”

Gao Xu asked casually, "Then do you want to go home tonight?" ”

Miaojin shook his head and said, "Don't go back, I told my mother, I'm here with you today." ”

Gao Xu smiled: "It seems that the situation is different. ”

Miaojin also said with a smile: "My father is about to praise you to the sky, my mother listens to him." He's going to say to people, well...... Xiao Liu's words and deeds have an ancient style, he knows how to repay his kindness, convinces people with virtue, and says that you are stable and reliable. Oh, there are so many that I almost believe it. ”

Gao Xu said: "Don't you believe it? ”

Miao Jin glared at him: "My father is talking about immortals, right?" She suppressed her smile and muttered, "You are not a bad person overall, but you still have an evil side. ”

Gao Xu nodded and muttered, "Many people are like this. ”

Miaojin suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, that painting is really fake." But fakes are not cheap either, they are too real. ”

Gao Xu smiled, feeling the need to say anything more.

He looked at the house, and it was so good, and he didn't think anything else needed to be done. So he took a bottle of "Guerrilla General" brand sweet wine and a slender glass from the south of the West American region, and went to the backyard to sit by the pool and drink.

Half-lying under the sun umbrella at the water's edge, Gao Xu picked up his mobile phone again and clicked on the general control: "Xiaohe, open the top of the swimming pool." ”

The female voice inside said, "Roger, master." ”

A moment later, there was a "silky" sound of electricity coming from the top of the pool, and the ceiling was slow

Slowly folded, the entire pool was exposed to the sun, showing a more vivid blue.

Gao Xu took the glass with satisfaction and took a sip of wine.

Half a bottle of low-alcohol wine was swallowed, and Miaojin finally came out. She sat down in a chair next to her, glanced at the two glasses next to the bottle, and said, "You're on vacation." ”

Gao Xu said indifferently: "In the last century, there was a social humanist named Zhang Dai. He has a saying that the most satisfying state of human beings is to be able to do nothing most of the time. ”

Miaojin turned his head and said: "Gao Xu has indeed read a lot of books, and I don't know this sentence when I study history...... You didn't write it for him, did you? ”

Gao Xu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Have you figured out how to arrange it?" ”

Miaojin no longer dwelled on the topic just now, and said, "I have some ideas, take my time." She continued, "It makes sense that men and women always form a family. You don't seem to care much about things like this, and there's no argument. ”

Gao Xu looked at the lines of her body and said, "I didn't think of this reason, your angle is a bit tricky." ”

Miao Jin also poured a glass of sweet wine, and suddenly asked, "What did you want to say when you were in the car that day?" ”

Gao Xu fell silent, his expression gradually became solemn, and after a while he said, "Where to start?" ”

Miao Jin asked rhetorically, "Do you still have something to do today?" ”

Gao Xu turned his head to look at her, and slowly spoke: "In my first life, I was a commoner, and later I became a gambler. ”

Miaojin gently lowered the glass, looked into his face, and listened patiently.

Seeing this, Gao Xu continued: "People are not born gamblers, but because some chances have fallen into it, and their psychology cannot be balanced. If you win, you regret why you bet too little, and you want to get it back if you lose, and you can't extricate yourself. What onlookers think is simple is not so easy to get rid of.

It's a very simple feeling, if you can win or lose a day, you can earn 100 yuan a day, but you can only earn 100 yuan by working hard, how many people have the perseverance to work with peace of mind, like picking dirt, to pay off huge gambling debts? What's more, after earning money to pay off debts, there is no psychological reward, there is no pleasant feedback mechanism at all, and it is difficult for mortals to persevere. ”

Miaojin said: "I haven't experienced it, but Gao Xu said it very reasonably, you seem to have reflected a lot." ”

Gao Xu nodded and said: "Later, there was really no way, I dragged down the whole family several times, and I couldn't see any hope of going ashore at all." I confessed to my parents more than once, and it was all sincere at the time, but I still walked the same path repeatedly.

I felt a great denial of myself, and finally decided to kill myself, to escape all my sins and responsibilities that I could not pay. Because I am very ashamed, I want to disappear from this world completely and make everyone forget about me. ”

Miao Jin silently stretched out her hand and held his palm tightly, with a distressed look in her eyes.

Gao Xu's tone was calm, after all, too much time had passed. "So at that time, I thought it would be better to find a place where the body is not found, and be quiet," he said. At that time, carrying food and water on his back, he went to the mountainous area of Huangshan. Walk the path and find an abandoned ancient Taoist temple there. There is a natural stone cave at the foot of the mountain behind the Taoist temple, and the outside is full of weeds, so I cut myself off inside. ”

He paused and continued: "After that, he became Zhu Gaoxu, and after some struggle, he became the Ming Emperor. You also know that an emperor like me, who can live for more than eighty years, will have his own mausoleum during his lifetime

Fix. The mausoleum near the Jingshi Filial Piety Mausoleum is a disguise, and there are several suspicious tombs in various places. The real mausoleum of me and a few imperial concubines is in the mountains of Huangshan, behind the abandoned Taoist temple. ”

Gao Xu smiled and said, "I didn't think too much about it at the time, but when my life was nearing the end, I suddenly felt that it was better to start with it." And I didn't expect the Ming Dynasty to last so long, after the change of dynasty, you understand what happened to the imperial tomb. I don't want the corpses of myself and my concubines to be brought out for public display, I just want to return to dust quietly. In that real tomb, there was no gold, silver and jade, and it was completely sealed. ”

Miaojin's expression also changed, her tone was strange, and she said in a low voice: "Xuanxu is in that cave?" ”

Gao Xu shook his head and said, "I can't be sure. But I died twice and the bodies were there, which is an empirical reversal. In addition, Miaojin has also come here again, which can roughly prove this mystery, maybe not because I am a specific person, but because of other factors. ”

Miao Jin was silent for a long time, frowning and thinking about something.

Gao Xu said: "Don't say it. ”

"Huh?" Miaojin suddenly shuddered, "Okay, of course." ”

Gao Xu asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Miao Jin said: "How many people are there in that mausoleum?" ”

Gao Xu said: "There are six in total. I, the queen, the imperial concubine, the noble concubine, the virtuous concubine, the lady concubine. The other concubines are all buried in the mausoleum of the Jingshi, and several princes are also allowed to be buried next to the Jingshi Emperor's Mausoleum, which is just an honor. I carried your corpses into the coffin with my own hands. There is another secret decree, the person who will handle this after my death is Cao Fu, and the coffin will be placed in the position where I was cut off before. There are a total of multiple pseudo-coffins, and now it seems that Cao Fu is still quite loyal. ”

Miaojin looked at Gao Xu: "Then there are four people, will they also be in this world?" ”

Gao Xu smiled bitterly: "Miaojin's angle of thinking about the problem is really a bit tricky...... Of course it is not certain, but it is possible. If, as you say, the evidence is more abundant, then the mausoleum is really not simple. ”

The two of them fell silent, and Miaojin was distracted most of the time.

Gao Xu looked at her appearance, only to feel that her psychological endurance was still much worse than herself. Gao Xu had been thinking about this before, but he was not as shocked as Miaojin.

He took the initiative again and said, "I plan to make a series eventually. ”

"Huh?" Miaojin turned her head and looked at him blankly.

Gao Xu said: "Filming "The Life of the Han King", I kneaded some details that have never been recorded in the classics into it. Let four people who may exist take the initiative to contact us? ”

Miao Jin said: "Details that only they know? ”

Gao Xu nodded and said, "Yes." Otherwise, how to find someone? I can't send a few advertisements, shouting all over the world, looking for notices, come and see, come and see, from the princesses who crossed four hundred years ago, the contact numbers are cloudy. ”

"Whew!" Miao Jin laughed out loud carelessly, and immediately stopped it again, glaring at him, "It's not serious." ”

Gao Xu said: "Because the reality is absurd. He then muttered, "Maybe it's not absurd, it's not a lack of knowledge." The people in the fake house said that cosmic string, what the hell is it? ”

Miaojin shook her head.

The two of them looked at the water in the pool together. In the breeze, the blue and clear water surface is filled with graceful and irregular ripples.
