Chapter 50: Hospitality

Gu Yunhuan was excited and was about to speak, the little girl raised her voice to report, and Gu Xiao strode into the east chamber.

Seeing Gu Yunhuan, Gu Xiao was stunned,

"When I was leaving, didn't I hear you say that you were tired and wanted to go back and rest? How did you get here? ”

"Xiao Nuan's courtyard is quiet, and it is best for me to rest here"

Gu Yunhuan raised his chin and replied unhappily, at the end of winter, he brought tea in, Gu Xiao took a sip and drank it, sat sideways on the edge of the couch, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Did you send Cousin Ke and Brother Zhou to rest at the Suo Luo Pavilion?"

Gu Yunhuan turned the handkerchief with both hands, turned his head to look at Gu Xiao and asked, Gu Xiao nodded,

"That'...... Does Cousin Ke like the Suo Luo Pavilion? Is there anything wrong with it? ”

Gu Yunhuan bit his lip, and then asked, Li Xiaonuan looked at Gu Yunhuan who was going around and around asking questions funny, turned his head to look at Gu Xiao, and asked with a smile:

"I heard at the end of winter that this son of the Runan royal family is the most picky, and he is satisfied with the layout in the Suo Luo Pavilion?"

Gu Yunhuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, staring at Gu Xiao and waiting for his reply, Gu Xiao tilted his head and thought about it, spread his hands and said:

"I don't know which ones are our arrangements, and which ones were brought over by Cousin Ke and Brother Zhou, anyway, when I accompanied the two of them, the cars and things they brought over were all properly arranged."

Gu Yunhuan's face sank,

"The one surnamed Zhou also lives in the Suluo Pavilion? Didn't the ancestor say that he would clean up the yard for him? ”

"Didn't he just say no? It's not like you haven't heard that Cousin Ke must also live with him, anyway, the Suo Luo Pavilion is also spacious, not to mention living with one more person, even if you live two or three more, it won't be crowded. ”

Gu Xiao frowned and said, Gu Yunhuan "snorted" and sulked, Li Xiaonuan turned his head back and forth at the two of them suspiciously, and asked:

"Who is Brother Zhou?"

"Hmph, who knows where the nasty ghost came from, he ran to someone's house without even saying hello"

Gu Yunhuan said hatefully, Gu Xiao glanced at her, turned his head to look at Li Xiaonuan, and explained carefully:

"Cousin Ke said that Brother Zhou is a good friend who he grew up with, and he came to play with him, Brother Zhou is very good, he has been smiling, the ancestor likes him, praising him for being as gentle as jade and having the style of a gentleman."

Li Xiaonuan was stunned, twisted her eyebrows and thought about it, and asked with a smile:

"Which week? A thoughtful week? ”

"Hmm"

Gu Xiao nodded his head heavily, his eyes crooked and he said with a smile:

"I like Brother Zhou very much, Brother Zhou treats people kindly, much more amiable than Cousin Ke."

"Hmph, what do you like that irrelevant person for? It's really confusing, I see him gentle, with a twitty face, it's really annoying, and it's not worth lifting shoes for Cousin Ke."

Gu Xiao looked at Gu Yunhuan who suddenly became angry inexplicably, Li Xiaonuan raised her eyebrows, turned her head, looked at Gu Yunhuan who was in a hurry to change her anger with a smile, and quickly turned her brain to think, what is she going to give him about that purse? Did you put it in the Sara Pavilion?

Li Xiaonuan's eyes rolled slightly, slowly leaned back on the pillow, and looked at Gu Yunhuan without saying a word, Gu Yunhuan stared at Gu Xiao angrily, Gu Xiao scratched his head in confusion, simply ignored Gu Yunhuan, turned his head, and only talked to Li Xiaonuan,

"Cousin Ke and Brother Zhou said, I want to go to see a water corridor street in our Shangli Town at night, the ancestor has already asked people to prepare the boat, let me accompany Cousin Ke and Brother Zhou to the town at night, and dinner is booked in Yunshui, it is our family's wine shop, just now Mama Zhou has brought people over to prepare."

Li Xiaonuan listened to Gu Xiao with a smile, Gu Yunhuan also listened attentively, Li Xiaonuan glanced at Gu Yunhuan, and asked with a smile:

"And when are you going to get out?"

"Brother Zhou said that they were tired, and besides, I heard that the scenery of Langjie is the best in the evening, so don't be very early, it's too late to leave at the end of the year."

"And what are they doing in the Sara Pavilion now?"

"When I came back, Cousin Ke said that he wanted to take a bath, and Brother Zhou said that he wanted to sleep."

Li Xiaonuan looked at Gu Yunhuan out of the corner of his eyes, and changed the topic with a smile,

"Did you have a class today?"

"No, the ancestor asked me to take a break from class for half a month, so that I could accompany Cousin Ke and Brother Zhou these days, the ancestor also said that Brother Zhou is very knowledgeable, let me ask him for more advice, in fact, Cousin Ke is good at learning, Cousin Ke's enlightenment master is Mr. Tang Jiyuan Tang"

Gu Xiao said enviously, Li Xiaonuan was slightly stunned, she had mentioned this name on the copies of the mansion she looked at more than ten years ago, and at that time, this Tang Jiyuan was already famous all over the world.

Also, after all, Runan Wangfu is one of the most noble families in this Yuan Zheng Dynasty, that Cheng Ke is the prince of Runan, no matter what his qualifications are, as long as he is willing to worship Tang Jiyuan, I am afraid that Tang Jiyuan will not be able to ask for it

That Tang Jiyuan is a person who has entered the WTO, and reading his articles, I am afraid that his efforts in human feelings and sophistication are far better than his accumulation of knowledge in scripture and righteousness

Li Xiaonuan's eyes flashed with disapproval, and he gently pulled the corners of his mouth, Gu Xiao sighed,

"What the old ancestor said will definitely not be wrong, that big brother's knowledge is better than that of cousin Ke, and I don't know who the master is."

Gu Yunhuan sat on the couch, unconsciously holding the handkerchief with both hands, and was dazed, Li Xiaonuan turned his head to look at her, and exclaimed with a smile:

"Second Sister"

Gu Yunhuan woke up suddenly, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan looked at her with a smile and said:

"The second sister is tired, let's go back to sleep quickly, otherwise tomorrow my face will be bad and my eyes will be picked, but I will die ugly."

Gu Yunhuan's eyes widened, and he hurriedly raised his hand to stroke his cheek, nodded again and again and said:

"Xiao Nuan is right, I'm tired, okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I'll go back."

With that, Gu Yun jumped off the bed neatly, put on his shoes, and hurriedly went back out of Songfeng Courtyard.

Li Xiaonuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and motioned for Gu Xiao to sit on the couch, tilted his head to look at him and asked in a low voice:

"That Brother Zhou, how old is that?"

"It's about the same as Cousin Ke."

"What's your name?"

"I don't know, I'll ask him tomorrow."

Gu Xiao scratched his head and replied a little embarrassed, Li Xiaonuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then turned his head to look at Gu Xiao and asked with a smile:

"How do you sit when you eat?"

"During the meal, the ancestor, me, Cousin Ke and Brother Zhou sat together, of course the ancestor was the first, I was the last, Brother Zhou sat on the left hand side, and Cousin Ke sat on the right hand side."

Gu Xiao thought carefully and said, Li Xiaonuan looked at Gu Xiao, and then asked:

"Is the ancestor good to Brother Zhou?"

"Very hospitable"

"Then, has the old ancestor seen Brother Zhou before?"

Gu Xiao was stunned, scratched his head and thought for a long time,

"I don't know, but as soon as the ancestor met, he called him 'Zhou Gongzi', as if he knew each other."

Li Xiaonuan let out a soft "oh", looked at Gu Xiao helplessly, and didn't speak again, Gu Xiao looked at Li Xiaonuan strangely,

"Nuan Nuan, you don't want to ask Cousin Ke."

Li Xiaonuan was stunned,

"I asked him what he was doing? I don't know him."

Gu Xiao blinked, wanted to say something but swallowed it back, Li Xiaonuan turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile:

"You can go back and rest for a while, you have to go out tonight, and I don't know when I will be able to come back after playing, I have to take care of my spirits at this time, go back quickly, and come to talk to me early tomorrow."

Gu Xiao stood up a little reluctantly, rubbing his shoes, Li Xiaonuan seemed to remember something, and asked with a smile:

"I remember you said you had a few copies in your yard? Why don't you let the little girl send it over to me to see, the fly-headed little block on the Di copy is really good-looking."

Gu Xiao hurriedly nodded and agreed, Li Xiaonuan instructed the end of winter to send a little girl to follow Gu Xiao and go over to take the mansion and copy it.

Li Xiaonuan watched Gu Xiao out of the courtyard through the window, and then sat down on the couch silently and thought carefully.

That Brother Zhou is a person with quirks like Cheng Ke, who grew up in a small place, and is willing to let him come to Shangli Town with him, and live in a courtyard, he can still sit on the head of the prince of Runan, so he doesn't say hello, he comes suddenly, but the ancestor is very polite to him

In the entire Yuan Zheng Dynasty, which is more noble than the Cheng family of Runan Wang, and surnamed Zhou, there is only one that can make the Runan Wangfu and the ancestors close and polite, and there is only that one person

Li Xiaonuan squinted his eyes and smiled, with this person here, Cheng Ke's daily behavior had to be arranged with him, so there should be no harm to him.

For Gu Xiao and the Gu family, ...... only good? Who knows

Alas, don't think so much about it yet, let's talk about it after these five or six years, who knows next year, even if something will change tomorrow

On the first day of June, on Mrs. Zhou's birthday, Li Xiaonuan was still sick and could not be discharged from the hospital, but the night before, she asked Mama Wei to send a pair of shoes made by herself, and kowtowed a few times on her behalf, which was considered a birthday.

The house was lively for a day, and Li Xiaonuan carefully restrained the people in Songfeng Courtyard and did not allow them to go out to see the excitement, so as not to cause trouble to come in.

In the next few days, Gu Xiao accompanied Brother Zhou and Cousin Ke, went out early and returned late every day, and almost walked all over the places of interest around Shangli Town, and the entire ancient mansion also became vigorous, from the ancestor to the gatehouse, they all followed the spirit, and every day they dotted all kinds of matters related to the travel of the three of them.

Only Songfeng Yuan was cautiously quiet, and Li Xiaonuan listened carefully to the movement outside, restraining everyone, and only leaving early with that scourge.

The three of them went out early and returned late every day to play for a few days, and they were a little tired, so they didn't go out again that day.

Early in the morning, Gu Xiao went to Ruixuan Hall to ask for peace, and when he came back from breakfast, he went straight to Songfeng Temple.

Li Xiaonuan leaned on the couch, smiling and listening to Gu Xiao dancing and talking endlessly about the interesting things that had happened in the past few days, describing the shock brought to him by those beautiful scenery.

While the two were talking, Shiqin hurriedly came in, bent his knees to greet Li Xiaonuan, turned his head to look at Gu Xiao, and said helplessly:

"Young master, our girl invites you to come over, I have something urgent to discuss with you."
