Taihe House is a tea house located on the innermost side of West Street. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info location is not particularly good, but it is better than the quiet environment, tea and water, there happen to be a few rouge gouache shops around, there are many female customers who like to come here to rest, eat tea.

In the afternoon, the sun seemed to be a little less powerful, and the heat was not as strong as it was at noon. The guy from Taihe Lou yawned and took a clean cotton towel to wipe the tables and chairs in the lobby on the first floor.

At this time, a 'hoo' sound sounded outside, and an unpretentious carriage slowly stopped at the door of Taihe Building.

The guy instantly came to his senses, put the cotton towel on his shoulder, and hurried out.

"A few guest officers, please inside!"

The man was very clever, and just by looking at the maids and guards who served around the carriage, he knew that the person sitting in the carriage must be a noble man.

He nodded and stepped forward to greet him warmly.

A young woman in her twenties came out of the carriage, dressed in a lake-green dress, the style was deceptively simple, and there was no complicated embroidery.

But the sharp-eyed man found that the nobleman's dress was not without embroidery, but with the same color embroidery thread embroidered with delicate folded branch patterns.

As people walked, the embroidery patterns on the clothes loomed, and under the reflection of light and shadow, they came to life, which was very exquisite.

A nobleman, a nobleman who is truly from a wealthy family!

The guy secretly gave a conclusion in his heart, and greeted more and more respectfully.

Gu Jialuo took Ziwei's hand and slowly walked into the lobby.

Ziwei interrupted the guy's courteous introduction and said directly: "We made an appointment with someone, she is in Luomei Xuan on the second floor." ”

When the guy heard this, he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, the little one will take a few guest officers upstairs." A few noble people, please pay attention to the stairs under your feet. ”

The man bowed in front to lead the way, and soon came to the private room on the second floor.

After entering the so-called 'Luomei Xuan', several guards first looked at the private room and made sure that there was no danger, then they retreated and stood guard at the door.

Ziwei waited for Gu Jialuo to come to the round table by the window.

There was already a man sitting at the round table, in his twenties, dressed in an aqua blue dress, with no jewelry but a few simple silver ornaments.

She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Jialuo, and smiled lightly, "You're here!" ”

"Big sister!"

Gu Jialuo nodded at her, and then sat down in the chair opposite her.

The woman, that is, Gu Lin, the eldest lady of the Gu family, took out a folded deed paper from her sleeve pocket, put it on the table, gently pressed her two fingers on it, and then pushed it towards Gu Jialuo.

Gu Jialuo didn't stretch out his hand, and looked at Gu Lin puzzled.

Gu Lin raised his hand and stroked the hair on his sideburns, "I wanted to give it to you a long time ago, but I never had a chance." Now it's time to return to its original owner. ”

Gu Jialuo's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something.

Gu Lin looked at the face that was similar to her own, but far more delicate than herself, and felt a slight sour feeling in her heart, but it quickly disappeared again.

She smiled self-deprecatingly, I don't know if she was talking to herself, or deliberately saying it to Gu Jialuo, "We were born in the same year, from childhood to adulthood, I don't know how many people compare the two of us." Parents, looks, temperament, and family affairs, in twenty years, I have not won you. ”

Gu Jialuo frowned.

Gu Lin continued, "Gu Jialuo, do you know, I have always hated you very much in the past. I have thought more than once that if it weren't for you, I would be a hundred times happier than I am now. But God doesn't fulfill people's wishes, the more I hate you, the better off you are. To this day, I—I don't even have the qualifications to compare with you! ”

Gu Lin's eyes flashed with water, seeing Gu Jialuo, whose appearance had barely changed, and then thinking back to his haggard and vicissitudes in the mirror, Gu Lin couldn't help but feel sad.

Especially thinking of her husband who died tragically, her heart was throbbing for a while!

Taking a deep breath, Gu Lin reluctantly suppressed the endless sadness and heartache.

"You were in Daoxiangyuan a few days ago, and you saw a harmonious family, were you very confused? Do you wonder why my father and mother no longer hold on to the position of the son? ”

Gu Lin's gaze fell on Gu Jialuo's face, and he suddenly asked.

Gu Jialuo was stunned, she didn't speak, just shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know.

Gu Lin smiled miserably, "The reason is very simple, I tried my best to persuade them to give up. The death of my husband has taught me a truth, in the case of my own lack of ability, I must not think about things that do not belong to you. I don't have a husband anymore, and I don't want to lose my parents again. ”

Gu Jialuo chuckled in his heart. What does Gu Lin mean by this?

What does it mean to 'not be able to lose one's parents'?

Could it be that Gu Ze will do whatever it takes to snatch the throne of the world, even if he violates the law and discipline and risks the world's condemnation? !

Gu Jialuo quickly remembered that Gu Zecheng had followed Gu Chong to the camp in Liaodong and stayed there for more than half a year.

There are soldiers in his hands, and next door is a tartar who is ready to move, if Gu Zecheng is carried away by desire/hope, and does an irreparable wrong thing on impulse, then, the Gu family will face a situation from which it will never recover?

Gu Lin had been paying attention to Gu Jialuo, and when she saw that her expression suddenly changed, she knew that she had guessed.

Hooking the corners of his lips, Gu Lin sighed, "You are really smart." That's right, my father went to Liaodong with my grandfather a few years ago, and when he was training in the big camp, he once received a secret letter from the capital——"

Gu Jialuo didn't listen to it, but he also knew what was written in the so-called 'secret letter'.

It is nothing more than using the position of the prince of Zhao as a bait to bewitch Gu Ze'an: either collude with the Tartars and create a rebellion against the Great Qi Dynasty; Or take the opportunity to take the Liaodong battalion, use these forces as capital, and seek a contribution to the 'new master'!

Gugaro didn't want to know what was written in the letter, but only one thing, "Who?" Who is that man? ”

Who wants to use the Gu family's hand to disrupt the situation and plot against him?

Gu Lin glanced around, leisurely picked up the tea bowl, blew the tea stalks on the water surface, and drank it in small sips.

Gu Jialuo understood and glanced at Ziwei.

Ziwei hurriedly curtsied and retreated with a few little maids.

After coming outside, Ziwei hurriedly whispered a few words to the leader of the guards.

The leader nodded a few times, and after Ziwei finished speaking, he took a few subordinates to wrap all the rooms on both sides of 'Luomei Xuan', and each private room was guarded by someone.

The leader himself stood in front of the door of 'Luomei Xuan', and firmly guarded the door with Ziwei on the left and right.

Seeing this, Gu Lin couldn't help but praise, "It is worthy of the Qi family, it is really safe and thoughtful." ”

She looked at Gu Jialuo's gaze and couldn't help but feel a little more envious.

Compared with the envy, jealousy and hatred in the past, Gu Lin has indeed changed a lot now, at least she has no inexplicable hatred for Gu Jialuo.

Maybe she still doesn't like this debt collector cousin, but she won't deliberately be embarrassed and calculated.

"Big sister?"

Gu Jialuo was anxious and couldn't help but urge.

Gu Lin looked at Gu Jialuo's anxious appearance with satisfaction, leaned forward, leaned into Gu Jialuo's ear, and whispered.

"He? How could it be him? ”

Gu Jialuo couldn't believe his ears and looked at Gu Lin in a daze.

Gu Jialuo was not familiar with the name Gu Lin said, but he had heard his story many times.

Born in the Xiao royal family, with a noble status, but not very talented, with 'eating, drinking, and enjoying' as his life goal, he is the most unlikely person to rebel!

Slowly, it was Gu Jialuo, and even Xiao Ye, who was the most suspicious, had never doubted 'him'.

In addition, whether it is Jinyiwei or Miaozhen's shadow guard, they are almost 360 degrees watching the capital, but no one has ever noticed the strangeness of 'him'.

For such a result, either 'he' really doesn't have anything suspicious, or 'he' is too powerful.

It's just a matter of hiding it from the Jinyi Guard, but he didn't even notice the shadow guard...... Gu Jialuo felt terrible when he thought about it.

Wait a minute~

Gu Jialuo's mind flashed, and he suddenly remembered an incident in the southwest that day.

Salt Works, yes, salt Works!

On the territory of the Qi family, there is a group of people who can quietly occupy the Qi family's property, which almost makes Qi Jinzhi suffer a big loss.

At that time, Qi Jinzhi and Gu Jialuo were horrified in their hearts, and secretly wrote down the so-called 'behind-the-scenes commander'.

After returning to Beijing, Qi Jinzhi and Qi Lingxian repeatedly studied, and Qi Lingxian listed the people who were most likely to be the 'behind-the-scenes envoys', and investigated them one by one according to the list.

Qi Jinzhi told Gu Jialuo about the contents of this list, so she knew very well that there was no 'his' name in the list!

Gu Jialuo looked at Gu Lin fixedly, and once again confirmed, "Eldest sister, 'he' is directly in contact with the second uncle?" ”

Probably not, 'he' can hide from the eyes and ears of the Jinyi Guard and the Shadow Guard, and he must be a cautious person.

Without full certainty, it is impossible for 'he' to show his true face.

Gu Lin pursed her lips, "How is it possible?" He's not stupid! ”

looked at Gu Jialuo's eyes with a little disdain, as if to say, you girl, how can you ask some stupid questions?

Gu Jialuo didn't care about this, and asked anxiously: "How did the second uncle know the identity of 'him'?" ”

Qi Ling couldn't find out first, but the second uncle, who has always been mediocre, could do it?

Gu Lin was unhappy, "What do you mean?" Look down on my dad? "Even if her father is really not very capable, but, but in the end, Gu Jialuo's elder, how can Gu Jialuo-

Gu Jialuo hurriedly apologized, "The eldest sister misunderstood, I didn't mean that." I—I'm just curious. This is not a trivial matter, and it must be checked clearly. ”

Gu Lin saw that Gu Jialuo's attitude was quite sincere, Fang generously forgave her, and said, "What is this?" In addition to arranging troops, my father likes to study antiques and treasures the most on weekdays. It just so happened that in the past two years, his old man fell in love with Gu Mo...... The letter that the man wrote to my father was written in the finest 'Li Mo', and my father followed this clue and finally found 'him'. ”

What is it called?

There is a specialization in the art industry!

Gu Jialuo was amazed, it turned out that there was no useless knowledge in the world, but it was not used in the right place! Who would have thought that Gu Ze'an's hobby of losing his family could play such a big role at a critical time.

It is estimated that 'he' never dreamed that 'he' had been mysteriously hidden for decades, but in the end it was leaked because of the ink ingots that wrote credit!

"Second Uncle is amazing!"

Gu Jialuo sighed sincerely.

Gu Lin raised her head proudly, "That's nature." ”

With that, she returned to the topic. He sighed faintly, "My father looks strong, but he is actually not very bold. When I read the letter, I was immediately frightened, especially after knowing what happened to my mother-in-law's family, I didn't dare to get involved in such a thing. He handed the letter directly to his grandfather, and thought that his grandfather had admitted his mistake and said that he would never think about anything that did not belong to him again. ”

People must be self-aware!

Gu Zecheng has complained for most of his life, and he suddenly woke up when he was middle-aged.

Since that day, the second room has really been put down, maybe there is still a little awkward in my heart, but I will not deliberately get along with the big room.

After Gu Lin thought about it, she decided to reconcile with Gu Jialuo.

So far, it seems that the rapprochement has worked very well.

Gu Jialuo got up, saluted Gu Lin, and said sincerely: "Thank you, big sister." ”

Gu Lin looked away embarrassedly, and waved her hand impatiently, "Okay, don't say these meaty words." I owe you back to you, and the secrets I should tell you have been said, and our sisters have cleared up! ”

With that, Gu Lin also stood up and made a gesture to leave.

Gu Jialuo hurriedly picked up the deed paper on the table and stuffed it directly to Gu Lin, "Eldest sister, you don't owe me, you better take this back." ”

Back then, Gu Lin took advantage of 'Gu Jialuo' to be trapped in the Iron Threshold Nunnery, cooperated with Dongqi's grandmother, and forcibly occupied several properties of 'Gu Jialuo'.

Gu Jialuo recovered some afterwards, but there were still two shops that were taken away by Gu Lin.

Of course, Gu Jialuo was not polite, and concocted Gu Lin in the same way.

There are comings and goings, and the two of them really owe no one anything.

Gu Lin wants to return those two shops today, no matter whether Gu Lin tells Gu Jialuo the secret or not, Gu Jialuo will not accept it.

"Speaking of which, it is actually the favor I owe to my big sister. Eldest sister-"

Gu Jialuo saw Gu Lin's resignation, and hurriedly said.

Gu Lin looked at Gu Jialuo fixedly, and after a long time, Fang accepted the deed paper, "It's okay." You and I are all at fault in the past, and from today onwards, none of us will mention it again, everything is over. However, since you know that you owe me a favor, then remember that in the future, I will take it back with interest. ”

She has no husband and a daughter to raise, so she will need help in the future.

Gu Jialuo couldn't help laughing when he heard her say rudely, "Yes, my little sister is provincial." ”

Gu Lin also smiled!

…… Years of grievances are over, and in the future, they will be close sisters, helping each other and supporting each other.

Seeing Gu Lin away, Gu Jialuo was in a good mood, and when he passed by the fat powder, Xipu and other shops, he suddenly became interested in shopping, stopped the carriage, and took Ziwei and a few maids to go shopping.

In the joy shop, Gu Jialuo fell in love with a set of twelve double-sided embroidered small screens.

The small screen is very delicate, the embroidery is exquisite, the materials are of high quality, and the content of the embroidery is also festive. Whether it's for a sister-in-law or a sister-in-law, it's a good wedding gift.

Gu Jialuo was about to ask the price, but a male voice that annoyed her sounded behind her, "Sister-in-law? Oh, what a coincidence that I met you here. ”

Gu Jialuo turned his head stiffly, just in time to see Xiao Gang's face that was not as beautiful as a mortal. (To be continued.) )
