Gu Chong knew that Hua Xun had a lot of ghost ideas since she was a child, and if this embarrassment could stump her, it would not be interesting to see Hua Xun or not. When Hua Xun came last year, although Gu Chong didn't have much contact with her, he could more or less feel that this female doll was different from other granddaughters and granddaughters, smart and sensible. It is to have a strong temperament and be stubborn in the bones. Huafu now only has Gongzi Yan here, as if the empty city has fallen into the hands of the enemy, Hua Xun also set off to Hedong lightly, I really don't know what to say. Gu Chong was dissatisfied with Hua Junhou for letting his daughter die in vain, so naturally he would not treat the person sent by Hua Junhou. But as soon as Hua Xun came like this, he felt that Hua Junhou was paving the way for his son again, and Gu Chong complained that Hua Xun did not stay in Hua Mansion, so he made such a good show.

Hua Xun slept in the inn, and when she woke up, she smelled the fragrance of Hua Du's body, and she sat for a while, very lost. Is it my own hallucination, Huadu doesn't know where to go, where can it appear in Hedong? Outside, the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums came from far and near, slowly leaning towards the inn, Hua Xun got up and opened the window, and Bai Qing could be seen riding a horse and beating gongs and drums with his entourage, shouting that the lord of Huai'an County was driving to the east of the river.

Hua Xun let out a sigh of relief, everyone in the city knew that she came to her grandfather's house, and the Gu Mansion had no reason to snub her, the county lord of Huai'an, who was personally crowned by His Majesty? With such a voice, Gu Chonggang was promoted, if there was news that he would not see his granddaughter and the lord of Huai'an County, the Son of Heaven would not have to ask a word. The old fox doesn't like to be in the limelight, so she can only let Gu Chong be in the limelight.

Sure enough, after a quarter of an hour, the eldest son of the head of the Gu Mansion was ordered to come to the inn to welcome Hua Xun to the Gu Mansion.

In the simple Gu family, Gu Chong sat on top of the main hall with a black face. The plaque on his head was pitch black, and his face was black. He never expected Hua Xun to be so swaggering through the market, listening to the crackling sound outside, he was so angry and funny, he couldn't help but blame the eldest lady with a straight face: "I like to be a little smart." ”

"What's wrong with Clever? Not with you? The eldest lady looked at Gu Chong, covered her mouth and smiled.

Gu Chong blew his beard and glared, and the eldest lady had no choice but to pretend to be strict and straighten out her clothes, and waited for the flower inquiry to come in with a cold face.

With a group of attendants carrying things into the door, Hua Xun was very well-behaved, and gave a salute to the whole house. In fact, there are not many people, the Gu family was separated early, except for the eldest son of the long house, who stayed to wait for the old man Gu, the other children all moved out to start a family. Gu Chong is her grandfather, she should have seen the salute first, although Gu Chong's face was not very good-looking, she could only pretend that she hadn't seen anything, and turned around to salute everyone.

"The county lord is really pompous, as soon as he enters Hedong, he makes a big fanfare, for fear that the whole world will not know the prestige of the county lord." Gu Chong snorted and sneered.

This grandfather Gu Chong is not like Hua Junhou who likes to hide everything, and now he is afraid that he can't hide the anger in his stomach if he ridicules her, so he wants to mention her. Hua Xun Yingying bowed, and said heavily: "The granddaughter did not intend to talk about this pomp, nor was she worried that people in the world would not know that Tang would come to Hedong, but she was afraid that her grandfather would not want to see Tang. ”

When Gu Chong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although the princely family was treacherous, but Hua Xun was a girl with a heart. He also knew the reason, but he didn't know if Hua Xun had a plan, or if he deliberately made such a move to make him look the other way. Gu Chong coughed and said, "After all, the county lord is from a princely family, so it doesn't hurt to have a bigger ceremonial pomp. It's not early today, the county lord will go with Shang Ru to rest first, and then let Shang Ru pick up the wind for the county lord in the evening. "Then get up and leave.

The eldest son of the long house hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes." ”

Hua Xun frowned eagerly and shouted to Gu Chong: "Ancestor! My granddaughter still has a gift to present......"

"No need." Gu Chong stopped, glanced at her, and said tepidly, "Shang Ru, you put the gift in the treasury." ”

The eldest son of the long house nodded, and ordered the two men to carry the gifts to be presented to the storeroom. The eldest lady glanced at Hua Xun, smiled gently, and followed Gu Chong away.

Hua Xun sighed in disappointment. It seems that Gu Chong minds her doing this, although she enters the mansion, but Gu Chong ignores her, she wants to gain Gu Chong's trust and persuade Gu Chong to support King Ning and the crown prince against each other, which is simply impossible to start. Hua Xun didn't know what to do.

was taken to the guest room to settle down, watching lily of the valley Zelan tidy up the room and tidy up things, Hua Xun was so nervous that he sighed five or six times after a cup of tea, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and Pei Lan stood beside her and waited, and she felt that she was going to lose her gray hair. She couldn't think of a way to make Gu Chong's attitude towards her not so indifferent, the so-called respect and inferiority are different, not to mention that she is just a granddaughter, how easy is it to win Gu Chong's trust and favor for her.

originally wanted to use the gift to dispel Gu Chong's cold reception towards her, but Gu Chong didn't even look at it, and didn't give her a chance to finish her words at all. Hua Xun was irritable, his face was calm, and he lowered his head and tried his best to think of countermeasures.

I stood up and walked a few steps, thought of a countermeasure, and felt that it was inappropriate, so I shook my head and gave up by myself, and thought again. After seven or eight trips back and forth, the maids who packed up their things were all dizzy, and they looked at each other a few times, and no one dared to disturb the flower inquiry. Hua Xun denied several methods in a row, but the more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became, and the more annoyed I became, the more angry I became.

"Master, do you want to have a cup of tea and think about it?" Lily of the valley made a cup of tea and handed it to Hua Xun.

Hua Xun still had a calm face, took the tea and put it on the table without saying a word, and didn't drink a sip.

Everyone knew that Hua Xun was in a very bad mood and didn't dare to disturb her.

"The county lord is here?" There was a knock on the door outside, followed by a warm man's voice through the wooden door.

Hua Xun stopped, tilted his head, and frowned. Zelan opened the door and saw the eldest son of the Gu family standing in the doorway.

"Shang Ru Gongzi." Zelan saluted, stepped out of the way, and led Gu Shangru into the door.

"County Lord." Gu Shangru walked in, first bowed to Hua Xun, and then got up and said with a smile, "Is there anything missing here from the county lord?" ”

Hua Xun shook his head, and said depressedly: "Everything is good here, thank you for taking care of it." ”

"That's good." Gu Shangru saw that Hua Xun's face was not very good-looking, and secretly thought that it should be because of Gu Chong's reasons, thinking that it would be better to take her to take her to relax while it was not too late, "The county lord has been to the Gu Mansion before and left in a hurry before he has visited the mansion, I see that it is not too late today, and the flowers in the garden are blooming well, I wonder if the county lord can give me a chance to let me lead the tour?" ”

Gu Shangru had a sincere expression on his face, and Hua Xun was not easy to refuse, so he nodded and said with a smile: "It's my honor that the eldest prince is willing to go shopping with me, an idler." ”

The two of them talked and laughed and went out of the door, crossed the verandah, and went to the garden.

Gu Shangru is very in line with his name, elegant and gentle, he has the bearing of a child of a family when he speaks, and his conversation is not like a reckless warrior, and he has a graceful demeanor, not frivolous Meng Lang, and he is not many generations better than Hua Yan. Not long after Hua Xun talked to him, he felt that this person had a good temperament and had a good impression of him, thinking that he invited her to play just now, I am afraid that he invited her because he saw that she was in a bad mood.

She is elegant, she can talk to her and have a common topic, and she is not surprised that she is a woman with rich knowledge, which Gu Shangru made Hua Xun sigh in her heart. In the environment she lives in, whether it is the patriarchal Hua Junhou, or the thin young Hua Yan, or the loyal and simple Du Zhong, or even the scheming Gu Chong, she has never felt relaxed and free. On the contrary, she had met Gu Shangru a few times and had not had much contact, which made her feel very easy to get along with.

"I know that the county lord likes to eat the egg yolk crisp in the house the most, and the last time I came, my aunt specially instructed the kitchen to make more for you, and I have already asked people to do it, let's go to the pavilion and sit for a while." Walking on the stone bridge built on the artificial lake, Gu Shangru pointed to the pavilion next to him and made a gesture.

"The eldest prince doesn't want the county lord to come to the county lord, just ask me to ask Tang. You and I are cousins, so why bother to see each other. Sitting on the stone bench with her skirt in her hand, Hua Xun looked at Gu Shangru pouring tea for her and smiled.

Gu Shangru handed over the tea, nodded and said: "Since the county lord said so, then the county lord should not call me any eldest son, I am obsessed with how old the county lord is, if the county lord does not give up, you can call me a cousin." The teacup slammed against the stone table with a slight clatter.

Hua Xun pinched the tea cup with her slender fingers, lowered her head and blew the hot tea, and when she heard Gu Shangru's words, she hooked the corners of her mouth and said: "Brother Shangru's stalwart is the county lord who speaks neatly, if Brother Shangru can't change his mouth, my cousin will punish you." ”

"It's rude, cousin." Gu Shangru chuckled when he heard this, raised his teacup and toasted Hua Xun.

"Brother Shangru called out to his cousin, but it reminded Wen Tang of a person." Hua Xun took a sip of tea and relaxed.

"Oh?" Gu Shangru smiled, "Who is it?" Lifting the teapot and giving Hua Xun a sip of tea.

Hua asked: "Cousin Hua'an, the flowers are endless." ”

"Sss The hot tea was shaken by Gu Shangru's hand, and it was shaken out of the cup, splashing everywhere.

Hua Xun was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew his hand, looked up and saw Gu Shangru's panicked face, that was a gentle and elegant face but nervous and frightened, he found that when the water splashed out, he hurriedly put the teapot on the table, and wanted to reach out to grab Hua Xun's hand to see if there was any burns, but Hua Xun shrank his hand and fell into the air, which reminded him of the difference between men and women, and embarrassedly stopped his hand and apologized: "I'm sorry, my cousin has never been injured." ”

"I'm fine, Brother Shangru's hand ......" Hua Xun was fine, but Gu Shangru's hand touched the teapot in a hurry, and she saw that her fair skin was flushed.

The maids who were waiting on the side hurriedly ran in to see Gu Shangru's hand, and Gu Shangru waved his hand: "You guys go out, it's okay." ”

The maids did not dare to force their way, so they had to retreat.

Hua Xunhu stared at Gu Shangru's panicked face suspiciously, secretly wondering where she said something wrong just now, what was there that made the elegant eldest son Gu Shangru scared like this.

Gu Shangru secretly glanced at Hua Xun, hugged his hands with a complicated expression, glanced left and right, and lowered his voice and said, "Cousin, be cautious." ”
