Chapter 1033 The Secret of the Pool (Repair)
It was roughly one ten years later that Gao Xu moved into his new house in Chunjiang District, Taicang City.
Before, he commissioned a decoration company to carry out simple repairs, line inspections and other work on the part, and also entrusted a housekeeping company to clean and disinfect the overall work. Because of the expensive labor, Gao Xu spent a lot of money. It is said that many wealthy families do these things themselves.
Everything was ready, Gao Xu brought Miaojin to his new home.
The house is located on the side of a not-so-spacious interior. It is a modern style with a light-colored tone. The main body is a two-story building with special tiles on the roof, and no traditional cultural style is visible. There is neither an oriental style characterized by a hanging mountain top or a hip mountain top, nor a Persian or European architectural feature. The whole community house is like this, probably planned.
Of course there is no lawn. There is only a very small yard next to the garage. There are several lunar green numbers planted in the narrow yard, but they are surrounded by low fences. Then there is the main entrance of the house.
The backyard behind the house is the real yard, and the fence really has isolation and protection functions. The backyard is centered on a swimming pool, with various leisure facilities, potted plants and other ornamental plants.
In addition, there is a general control robot in the house, which looks like a girl with a simple expression on the outside, but unfortunately there are wheels at the bottom. This robot can control all circuits, water gas switches, and some small intelligent robots, such as sweeping robots, water sprinkler robots, etc.; and can follow the owner's voice commands.
As soon as Miao Jin came, she was walking around everywhere, holding a notebook and remembering something, as if she wanted to redecorate the place. Her habit seemed to be like Gao Xu, and she liked to write on paper.
Gao Xu couldn't help asking: "Don't you go to class?"
Miao Jin turned around and smiled, "All my courses are excellent, and it's okay to skip classes occasionally."
Gao Xu asked casually again: "Will you go home tonight?"
Miao Jin shook her head and said, "I won't go back. I told my mother that I'm here with you today."
Gao Xu smiled and said, "It seems that the situation is different."
Miao Jin also smiled and said, "My father is almost praising you to God. My mother listens to him. He tells everyone, well... Xiao Liu has ancient style of words and deeds, knows kindness, and wins people with virtue, and says you are steady and reliable. Oh, there are so many things that I almost believe you."
Gao Xu said seriously: "Don't you believe it?"
Miao Jin glared at him: "My father is talking about a god, right?" She stopped her smile and pondered, "You are not bad in general, and you still have a bad side."
Gao Xu nodded and pondered: "Many people are like this."
Miao Jin suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, that letter is indeed fake. But the fake is not cheap either, and it is really real."
Gao Xu smiled, feeling that there was no need to say anything else.
He saw that the house was so good, and he didn't think he needed to do anything else. So he took a bottle of "Guerrilla General" brand sweet wine produced in the south of the West American area, and walked to the backyard and sat by the swimming pool to drink.
Half lying under the sun umbrella by the water, Gao Xu picked up his phone again and clicked on the connecting general control: "Xiaohe, open the top of the swimming pool."
The female voice inside said, "Received, Master."
A moment later, a "silk of electric current sound came from the top of the swimming pool, and the ceiling slowly folded, and the entire swimming pool was exposed under the sun, showing a brighter blue color.
Gao Xu held the glass with satisfaction and took a sip of wine.
After half a bottle of low-alcohol wine, Miaojin finally came out. She sat down on the chair next to her, looked at two glasses next to the bottle, and said, "You're like you're on vacation."
Gao Xu said calmly: "There was a social humanist named Zhang Dai in the last century. He said that the most satisfying state of human beings is that they can do nothing most of the time."
Miao Jin turned his head and said, "Gao Xu has indeed read a lot of books. Those who study history don't know this sentence... You wrote it for him, right?"
Gao Xu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Have you thought about how to arrange it?"
Miao Jin no longer confused about the topic just now and said, "I have some ideas, take my time." She continued, "It makes sense for men and women to form a family. You don't seem to care much about things like this, and you don't have any disputes."
Gao Xu looked at the lines of her body and said, "I have never thought of such a 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 in the car that day?"
Gao Xu was silent, and his expression gradually became solemn. After a while, he said, "Where should we start?"
Miao Jin asked back, "Do you have something to do today?"
Gao Xu turned his head to look at her and slowly spoke, "I was a civilian in my first life, but later I became a gambler."
Miaojin gently lowered the glass, stared at his face, and listened patiently.
Seeing this, Gao Xu continued, "People are not born as gamblers, but because of some opportunities, they are unable to balance their minds. They regret that they have made too few bets when they win, and they want to get back when they lose, but they cannot extricate themselves. Bystanders think it is very simple, but it is not so easy to get rid of them.
It’s a very simple feeling. If you can win or lose a day, you can earn 1,000 yuan, but you can only earn 100 yuan in hard work in a day. How many people have the will to work with peace of mind, and they can pay off huge gambling debts like picking up soil? What’s more, if you earn money to pay off your debts, you won’t get any psychological rewards, and there is no pleasant feedback mechanism at all, so it’s difficult for ordinary people to persist.”
Miao Jin said: "I haven't experienced it, but Gao Xu's words make sense. You seem to have reflected a lot."
Gao Xu nodded and said, "There was really no choice later. It dragged down the whole family several times and could not see any hope of getting ashore. I confessed more than once in front of my parents. I was sincere at that time, but I still walked on the old path again and again.
I had a great denial of myself and finally decided to kill myself to escape all sins and responsibilities that I cannot pay off. Because I was particularly ashamed, my wish was to completely disappear from this world and make everyone forget themselves."
Miao Jin silently stretched out his hand, holding his palm tightly, and a feeling of distress appeared in his eyes.
Gao Xu's tone was very calm, after all, it had been too long. He said, "So I thought it would be better to find a place where the body would not be found and be quiet. At that time, I carried food and water to the Huangshan Mountain area. I walked the path and found an abandoned ancient Taoist temple there. There was a natural stone cave at the foot of the mountain behind the Taoist temple. There was a weed outside, so I broke myself inside."
He paused and continued, "He became Zhu Gaoxu and became the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty after some struggle. You also know that the emperor like me who could live in the eighty years will be repaired before his death. The tomb near Xiaoling in the capital is a cover, and there are still a few suspected tombs everywhere. The real tombs of my concubines and I are right behind the abandoned Taoist temple in the Huangshan Mountains."
Gao Xu smiled and said, "I didn't think too much at that time. But when life was approaching the end, I suddenly felt that it was better to start. And I didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty could last for so long. After the dynasty changed, you would understand the experience of the imperial tomb. I didn't want the bodies of myself and my concubines to be brought out to the public, but I just wanted to return to the dust quietly. There was no gold, silver and jade in that real tomb, and it was completely sealed."
Miao Jin's expression also changed. Her tone was strange, and she whispered: "That cave is Xuanxu?"
Gao Xu shook his head and said, "I can't be sure. But I died twice and the body was there. This is a counter-inferior experience. In addition, Miao Jin has also come here again, which can probably prove this mystery. Perhaps it is not because I am a specific person, but other factors."
Miao Jin didn't say anything for a long time, frowning and thinking about something.
Gao Xu said: "Don't say it out."
"Ah?" Miao Jin suddenly trembled all over, "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 eight in total. I, the queen, the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine, the virtuous concubine, the Shu concubine, and the Depeng. Other concubines are all in the tombs of the capital, and several dukes are also allowed to be buried next to the imperial tombs of the capital. It is just a kind of honor. Your bodies are all carried into the real coffin by myself. There is another secret decree. The person who handled this matter after I died was Cao Fu, and the coffin was placed where I had broken it before. There were several fake coffins in total, and now it seems that Cao Fu is quite loyal."
Miao Jin looked at Gao Xu: "What about one more?"
Gao Xu said nothing.
Miao Jin was silent for a moment and asked, "Then there are still a few people, will they be in this world too?"
Gao Xu smiled bitterly and said, "Of course it is not certain, but it is possible. If it is true as you said, and the evidence is more sufficient, the tomb will be a bit difficult."
The two of them fell silent, and Miao Jin was distracted for most of the time.
Looking at her appearance, Gao Xu felt that her psychological tolerance was still much worse than that of herself. Gao Xu had been thinking about this before, but he was not as shocked as Miao Jin.
He spoke again: "I plan to make a series in the end."
"Ah?" Miao Jin turned his head and looked at him blankly.
Gao Xu said: "Photographed "The Daily Records of the King of Han", and rub some details that have no records in the classics. Let a few people who may exist come to contact us actively?"
Miao Jin said: "Only the details they know?"
Gao Xu nodded and said, "Yes. Otherwise, how can you find someone? You can't send a few advertisements, and you can't tell me the world to make a comeback. Come and see, the royal concubines who traveled four hundred years ago, contact numbers."
"Swish!" Miao Jin laughed out loud inattentively, immediately stopped it again, glared at him, "It's simply not serious."
Gao Xu said: "Because reality is absurd." He continued to ponder, "Maybe it's not absurdity, but lack of cognition. People from the fake courthouse said what the cosmic string is?"
Miao Jin shook her head.
The two of them looked at the water surface of the swimming pool together. In the breeze, the clear blue water surface was filled with graceful and irregular ripples.
