"Where is your brother and sister?"

Today's rest, it is rare for a family of four to be idle at home, and in the afternoon, I saw the children gathered in the backyard to chat, he just went out to drink a cup of tea with Yin Jiheng, and when he returned home, he saw that only Gu Qingfeng was left sitting alone under the porch and dozing off.

When Gu Qingfeng saw Gu Qingxuan, he immediately pouted and complained: "Sister, my sister took my brother to visit the Qinglou!"

"Qinglou?"

Gu Qingxuan suspected that he had misheard, or that Gu Qingfeng was so hot that he was talking nonsense.

Gu Qingfeng jumped up and nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, father, my brother and sister don't study well, so I secretly ran to Luo Hongge while you weren't at home." ”

Gu Qingxuan thought for a while, glanced at Gu Qingfeng's righteous and honest appearance, and asked, "Are you angry that they won't take you to play?"

Xiao Jiujiu, who was pierced by his father, scratched his head and smiled shyly: "Yes, father, why doesn't my sister take me there......?"

"Eccentric?" Gu Qingxuan heard this, and wondered: "Your sister is partial enough! Since you kid was born, your brother feels that he has lived in vain, are you embarrassed to say this?"

Gu Qingfeng was proud in his heart, and he had to pretend to be angry on his face: "Anyway, I'm just angry, and people want to go to the Qinglou to see it." ”

Gu Qingxuan had a little headache: "You are about to get married, you still want to do this, all the nonsense!"

Gu Qingfeng leaned on his father's shoulder and winked at him: "Father, don't you want to know what your brother and sister are doing in Luo Hongge?"

Gu Qingxuan's serious face showed a smile, and he looked at him, "Okay, let's go, my father will take you there." ”

"Great! Long live Father!"

……

Outside Luo Hongge, the carriage of the Gu Mansion stopped not far away, and Gu Qingning, who had changed into men's clothes, and Gu Qinghuan, who had just recovered from his illness, got out of the car.

Two handsome sons, wearing brocade clothes, face like a crown of jade, lips like a point of vermilion, holding a jade bone gold leaf fan, feet inlaid with jade and silver silk shoes, showing the chic and graceful appearance of Yuxuan.

The two of them stopped at the door of Luo Hongge, and immediately attracted countless bees and butterflies, and the enchanting fireworks woman surrounded them and welcomed them into the pavilion. In the fat pink pile, Gu Qinghuan was a little nervous, this was not the first time he had come to Luo Hongge, but it was because he was not the first to come......

The person who fooled him into this place by mistake before was Lu Yuancheng......

He looked at Gu Qingning, who was walking with him and had already begun to laugh with those girls, and felt that it was really indescribable, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, fortunately, his sister was not a man, otherwise all the girls in the world would suffer.

As if sensing the meaning in his eyes, Gu Qingning smiled, opened the fan to hide his face and leaned towards him, and said in a low voice: "Don't be so surprised, your sister also has a set of flirting with women, this is a woman's talent, if it is a string song, I'm afraid the scene will be more beautiful, and we have nothing to do......"

Gu Qinghuan's ears turned red, and he covered his mouth with his sleeve and coughed a few times: "This, you can't let Xian Ge know about this." ”

"I'm afraid that Xian Ge will know that you are visiting the kiln?" she joked, "Then I'm going to say it." ”

Gu Qinghuan gritted his teeth: "If you say it, I will say it, so I will complain to my father that sister, you take the lead and don't learn well, and you will bring me ......."

Gu Qingning smashed him with his elbow, "I don't have a heart or lungs, I knew I was here with Qingfeng." Eh, let's get down to business. ”

They entered the hall on the first floor of Luo Hongge, the hall was full of people, a song and swallow language, full of flowers and willows, this downstairs is nothing more than some ordinary guests, there are three religions and nine streams, and they are all ordinary girls.

Upstairs is different.

They pretended to look down on the girl who was flirtatious beside them, shook their fans and stepped up the stairs, and walked up to the second floor.

Gu Qingning lowered his voice and spoke: "I heard that the red ink girl in your pavilion is graceful and beautiful, so I came to see her, so let her come and accompany our brothers for recreation." ”

When the bustard mother heard this, she seemed to be a little embarrassed: "Eh, son, this red ink girl...... It's not a guest, I'm afraid I can't invite it, there are a lot of high-class girls in our pavilion, why don't you call them out and let the two sons pick and choose?"

Gu Qingning closed the fan and smiled, his eyes were bright and intimidating: "No, don't worry, you first set up a table of wine on the top floor for us, and go and tell the red ink girl that there is a son-in-law surnamed Gu who wants to see the beauty, whether she comes or not, she has her own opinion." ”

Mother Bustard was caught by her, and hurriedly smiled, and reacted, "But the top floor...... Eh, the prince is a person in the party, so he naturally knows the common practice of this green building, not to mention our Luo Hongge? This top floor is not entertaining ......."

She was embarrassed to make up a reason, Gu Qinghuan interrupted her and said, "You don't entertain ordinary people, right?

The bustard's mother's face changed, and she nodded again: "Eh, it turned out to be two adults, the slut is rude, hurry up, please upstairs! The wine and food will be sent immediately, and I will invite the red ink girl according to the adult's wishes! ”

The little servant eagerly led them upstairs, and walked all the way over, and they also saw many familiar faces between the doors of each floor.

After entering the box, they let the girls who were waiting for them go out, Gu Qingning deliberately picked a room in this direction, walked to the window, pushed the window and looked down, and the door of Luo Hongge was facing below, and you could see the situation of ushering in downstairs.

After a while, someone knocked on the door outside the door, and it was the bustard's mother who said, "The red ink girl has come to serve the two distinguished guests." ”

Gu Qingning went to open the door, his eyes swept over the smiling bustard mother, and looked at Qin Hongmo beside her, the two looked at each other, smiling twins, she made a heroic appearance, hooked Qin Hongmo's shoulder, pulled her into her arms, and acted boldly and wantonly.

The bustard's mother didn't dare to let Qin Hongmo be wronged, and when she saw the guests so presumptuous, she was a little uneasy, and persuaded: "Don't be anxious, don't you lose your manners in front of the beauties?"

Gu Qingning snorted and laughed, frivolous and arrogant, and said angrily: "Long-winded! This official is a dignified four-grade servant of the Ministry of Officials, what is there to do? Come to the Qinglou to listen to music? I'm very idle? Is it possible that you want this old woman to teach this servant how to play prostitution?"

She was angry, the bustard's mother was so frightened that she couldn't do it, listening to the name she reported, it was not good to directly contradict it, so she could only give Qin Hongmo a look and let her be temporarily wronged.

But this Qin Hongmo is also a woman with a strong temperament, and there is someone behind her to support her and naturally have a big temper, pushing her in Gu Qingning's arms, and said coquettishly: "Lord Shilang, don't worry, it's not that the little woman can't serve, it's just that it's really not good for adults to have fun...... Even if the little girl is willing, I'm afraid one of the little girl's benefactors will be unhappy...... Adults still hold on, don't offend people. ”

Gu Qingning looked angry and asked in a rough voice: "Which benefactor? I dare not offend?"

Qin Hongmo said: "Forgive the little girl, the adult is only the fourth grade, and that benefactor is the first grade of the dynasty, Lord Sicheng, can you still afford to offend?"

There seemed to be a moment of fear on her face, but it quickly turned into a tough face, hugged Qin Hongmo tighter, and said sharply: "Hmph! Lord Si Cheng? Lord Si Cheng, am I going to be afraid? What is he Yang Longxing? It's not been a few days to be confused! I can still play with his women!"

With a wave of her hand, she slammed the door slammed, and the bustard mother was stunned in place, listening to the sound of teasing and pushing in the house, and she was angry, so she wanted to teach this squire some lessons.

"There is a lot of offense below, please forgive the girl. ”

Hearing that there was no sound outside, Gu Qingning let go of Qin Hongmo, no longer acting lightly, and retreated and bowed.

Qin Hongmo was amused by her pretending to be serious, covered her mouth with a fan, and quipped: "Squire, Lord Gu has promoted himself?"

Gu Qingning spread his hands and smiled: "Why not, but thank the girl for such cooperation." ”

She walked inside, and her eyes fell on Gu Qinghuan. Gu Qinghuan saluted her, her coquettish gaze roamed on his face, ** at him, making Gu Qinghuan very embarrassed.

Qin Hongmo said: "Don't worry, I will sue Yang Sicheng, saying that I am very angry and wronged, and a certain official has insulted me too much, and I don't take him seriously......"

Gu Qingning was very satisfied: "The red ink girl is really smart, so I will thank the girl first." ”

"You're welcome, Master Gu. ”

It turned out that during this period of time, Gu Qingning had already begun to negotiate with the officials, but as she and Gu Qinghuan expected, the people in the officials were not easy to deal with at all, especially Fang Liang, the servant of the ministry.

He already had a personal grudge with the Gu family, and he was afraid that the Gu family would trouble him because of the old matter, so he took the first step to suppress the Gu family who was asking for him at this time. Therefore, even if he knew that Gu Qingning's article had been approved by Yang Longxing, he still had to deliberately make it difficult and set up a name for her to revise and adduce evidence.

There is another reason for this, that is, Gu Qingning's article Chen has hurt his interests. In previous years, he also participated in the admission of the counselor of the Ministry of Works, so he could also make a lot of money in it, and Gu Qingning's Tiao Chen would make him lose a lot of benefits, and he was unwilling.

Fang Liang was even more difficult to deal with than Yang Longxing, the oil and salt did not advance, and all kinds of prevarication made Gu Qingning's Tiao Chen stranded in the ministry, and it was difficult to move an inch.

Gu Qingning had been thinking about how to deal with him, and later found out that this person was very lustful, and she had a hot game with a top card in Qunfang Pavilion, so she thought of Yang Longxing, who was also greedy for beauty and bad character, so there was this scene today.

She sat down at the table and looked at Gu Qinghuan: "This should also be a Master Gu, right?"

Gu Qingning sat down: "Yes, this is my younger brother Qinghuan." ”

Her straightforward gaze kept seducing him, but her tone was open-minded and serious: "A talent, a rookie in officialdom, and a great future." ”

Gu Qinghuan just nodded, not daring to look at her in shame.

Her eyes turned sharply, she reached out and twisted Gu Qinghuan's cheek, forcing him to raise his head to look at him, Gu Qinghuan instantly blushed to the root of his ears, and she smiled continuously, her beautiful eyes were longing, and said: "This is not good, now that the officials in the court, how many people have never lingered in the land of fireworks? But you don't even dare to look at the beauties, how can you entertain officialdom in the future? You sisters and brothers, one is too unrestrained, the other is too restrained." ”

Gu Qinghuan didn't like her tone of a trainer, so he was indifferent, and said: "It's not that I don't dare to look at it directly, it's just that I've seen the world's stunning beauty, and other ordinary and glamorous faces are difficult to see." ”

Qin Hongmo frowned, slapped his hand with a fan, and feigned anger.

Gu Qingning looked at them and said with a smile, "Okay, Red Ink Girl, my younger brother already has a sweetheart, so naturally no one is in sight, don't be angry with him on this piece of wood." ”

She stopped teasing Gu Qinghuan, turned her face to look at Gu Qingning, leaning on the side of the desk weakly and bonelessly, with a clever smile on her face: "You came to me today, not just to pick a problem, right?"

Gu Qingning nodded: "Yes, the main thing is, I have some doubts about you, girl, and I want to ask for clarification." ”

"What's the doubt?"

She asked, "Who are you?"

Qin Hongmojiao laughed, half-stupid, and laughed like a bell: "Heh, Master Gu actually asked this? The little woman is the top brand of Luo Hongge, who else can she be?"

Gu Qingning smiled with her and looked at her deeply, and then the smile disappeared without warning, becoming serious and sharp: "I don't want to inquire about your details, I just want to know, can you cooperate with us?"

She didn't smile anymore, "What are you cooperating?

Gu Qingning was just about to open her lips, Gu Qinghuan on the other side shook his head at her, signaling her not to act rashly first, Qin Hongmo may not be credible, Gu Qingning also knew that this time was just a test of her, so he said: "I'll see in the future." ”

Qin Hongmo understood her distrust of herself, so she didn't say anything more, got up and staggered out of the door, turned back to their sisters and brothers at the door and said, "You only need to know a little bit, I am not Yang Longxing's person." ”

As soon as the door opened and closed, she walked away.

"It's a pity that she is Yang Longxing's person. Gu Qingning came to a conclusion.

Gu Qinghuan asked, "How can my sister see it?"

"The twins told me a long time ago...... Qin Hongmo is not only Yang Longxing's woman outside, but also his confidant. This Luo Hongge seems to be the master of the bustard's mother, Aunt Fang, but in fact, she is controlling it up and down, so I saw it just now, how much Aunt Fang values this girl, that's what it means. They said that Qin Hongmo specially trained young and beautiful prostitutes for Yang Longxing, and asked them to seduce court officials and inquire about news for him, which was counted as his eyes and ears......," Gu Qingning said.

Gu Qinghuan thought for a while: "Then today's matter, wouldn't it be leaked to Yang Longxing by her?"

She shook her head and said, "It's okay, just let her tell Yang Longxing that we have to deal with Fang Liang...... We told him about it ourselves. ”

"Sister means that Yang Longxing will be controlled by us?"

"No, he will be killed by us. ”

……

Someone knocked on the door outside the box, and Aunt Fang's voice came again, "Two adults, two more distinguished guests, said to be the companions of the adults, can you see them?"

The two were surprised, looked at each other, and then Gu Qingning calmed down and went to open the door.

I really can't figure out who it could be, could it be that their plan has been seen through?

As soon as the door opened, Gu Qingning was stunned for a moment, and he leaked his original voice, and called: "Father......"

Hearing this, Gu Qinghuan in the room also stood up with a rolling belt, ran to the door, and faced Gu Qingxuan, who was looking at them with a kind smile at this time.

In a blink of an eye, Gu Qingfeng also followed, but he was entangled by a group of girls, watching the girls downstairs dancing at the end of the corridor, staring around with novel eyes, the girls teased him, he also teased him back, coped with it easily, and pretended to be shy to laugh with people.

Gu Qingxuan glanced over there, Gu Qingfeng received his father's unkind gaze, and hurriedly squeezed out of the encirclement of the beautiful young lady and ran over here.

Fang Gu left, and the four of them gathered in the box on the top floor of Luo Hongge.

Gu Qinghuan said angrily: "Sister, what did I say before I went out?" Qingfeng is really unreliable, and he led his father here to arrest the two of us, so I can't trust ......him in the future."

The brothers and sisters were very resentful, and Gu Qingfeng was still smug: "I also want to come and see for a long time." ”

Gu Qingxuan had a cold face, coughed, knocked Gu Qingning and Gu Qinghuan's foreheads, and made a stern expression: "You are not small, you actually came to visit the Qinglou? ”

"Father ......" the two of them were speechless.

Gu Qingxuan looked around at this fragrant place, with an unsightly expression, and said, "Is the matter done?"

Gu Qingning was a little puzzled: "Father, you're here to urge us to go home?"

Gu Qingxuan glared at her: "Otherwise, I will accompany you to enjoy the flowers?"

The two of them laughed at the root of their ears, and they replied that they wanted to go back.

Gu Qingxuan looked at their appearance carefully, and saw that they didn't know anything else here, so he put his mind at ease.

Before they could go out, the door was pushed open directly, and one person walked in, accompanied by a hearty laugh: "Haha, how leisurely and comfortable do you Gu family have?
