Chapter 1.7

When Gu Jinglan woke up vaguely in the morning, he found that his left hand was being held by warm arms, and his palms were covered with sweat - at that moment, in fact, his mind was not completely awake, Gu Da Ying Emperor thought about which little goblin was so good at finally getting him to bed? When he opened his eyes to find out, he found that he was Lu Yuanshao's quiet sleeping face in his hand.

-- The child slept pitifully on the edge of his bed, wrapped in a thin layer of sheets, and curled up in a ball, as if afraid of noisy him, and did not dare to get too close to him, but secretly took him by one hand, and the whole person was less than a foot away from the edge of the bed, and could fall down as soon as he turned over.

Gu Jinglan felt the green tendons on his head jumping up and down—when did this kid come to his bed?!

The rising daylight outside the window spilled obliquely into the room through the clouds, Lu Yuanshao blinked his eyes, woke up, and Gu Jinglan immediately turned his head and pretended to be asleep.

He felt the bear child beside him get out of bed carefully, gently picked up his thin sheet, and walked out lightly.

Gu Jinglan's eyelids jumped, sat up and said, "Stop." ”

"Did you just slip out? Don't have anything to say to your uncle? Gu Jinglan said with a cold face.

Lu Yuanshao stood in place with a pale face, and the sheet he was holding in his hand had already been thrown to the ground by him.

"Little, uncle, yes, it's my fault!" Lu Yuanshao said bitterly: "In the future, never again......"

Gu Jinglan frowned and looked at him: the little face that had finally been raised by him with some flesh was now white, and the peach blossom eyes were flushed red, and the child's lips were tightly pursed, without blood.

…… A thought flashed quickly and inappropriately in Gu Jinglan's mind: Why did he think that this child's face looked a little familiar?

Shaking off this thought, Gu Jinglan got up from the bed, walked straight to Lu Yuanshao, and said in a calm voice: "You still have the face to call me uncle?" ”

"Stand up straight, keep your head up!" Gu Jinglan said coldly.

Lu Yuanshao was stabbed by these two sentences, and secretly said that he would not overdo it, he reluctantly removed his glued gaze from the person's smooth and jade-like feet, and raised his head stiffly.

Gu Jinglan half-knelt in front of him, and from Lu Yuanshao's point of view, as long as he glanced at his head, he could see the beautifully shaped collarbone under his slightly open collar.

"Uncle remembers telling you that if you want anything from Lanju here, you will come and tell me directly...... Yes and no? Gu Jinglan still spoke in a cold tone, never softening for half a point.

“…… Be. Lu Yuanshao nodded hesitantly.

Gu Jinglan took his hand, took the person to the bed, took off his cotton socks and carried the person to the bed. Lu Yuanshao slept inside, he slept outside, and after pressing the quilt, he said in a cold voice: "Then now, sleep." ”

"After waking up in the morning, Uncle will ask people to move your things to my house, and you can live with me for the time being." Gu Jinglan said with her eyes closed.

Lu Yuanshao froze in place, and closed his eyes after a while.

A small teardrop slipped from the corner of his eye with a real temperature and quietly fell onto the sheets.

After a long time, Gu Jinglan heard him say, "Uncle, I want to hold your hand." ”

"Pull it." Gu Jinglan said, the corners of his mouth curled up without even realizing it.

Immediately he felt his right hand surrounded by a pair of warm little hands.

- The hands are not soft and glutinous, the palms are covered with thin calluses, and you can vaguely feel the skeleton under the flesh, but they are warm and powerful, conveying the most real temperature and the firm strength of this child's heart.

******************************************************

Gu Jinglan honestly went to the imperial study to do the royal walk, he guessed his identity, so he had already expected the emperor's courtesy. To be honest, Gu Jinglan actually doesn't have any special feelings about Emperor Yinyuan, as an emperor, some things can be understood, but they are unforgivable.

Fortunately, the original owner is a cold character, in the imperial study, unless Emperor Yinyuan asks, he will never say lightly, but if he opens his mouth and can solve it in four words, he will never say five words.

Emperor Yinyuan had no choice but to tease him as much as possible: "Jia Lan, the official road of the Yuguan Repair Road leads to Lin'an County, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister does not know the beginning and the end, and he does not dare to speak falsely." Gu Jinglan was serious.

Gu Jinglan doesn't know? He absorbed the memories of the original owner for sixteen years, which is equivalent to living in this world for sixteen years...... He naturally has his own political opinions, but since he walks for the front of the emperor, some things are even more difficult to speak lightly.

"It's okay, just talk about it, it can get out of your mouth, into my ears, and no third person will know."

"In the opinion of the ministers, excellent." Gu Jinglan sorted out her language and said: "One can be a soldier, and the other is a business; If you enter the army, you can settle the army and store food, and if you retreat, you can defend the city; It can increase the national treasury and enrich people's livelihood. So it's excellent. ”

Emperor Yinyuan raised his head and glanced at him in surprise, there was obvious surprise in his eyes, and just wanted to ask him to talk carefully, he heard the attendant come in and report: "Your Majesty, Lan Zhaoyi asks to see you." ”

"What is she here for? Let her in. ”

"The concubine came to bring a bowl of Chitose soup to His Majesty, and let people cook it for a day and a night, and then it tasted good." Su Jinhui glanced at Gu Jinglan apologetically: "I didn't know that Lu Zhuangyuan was also here, it was the concubine who was negligent." ”

Gu Jinglan frowned, he was very sure that the woman looked at him with a hint of implication.

After Emperor Yinyuan drank the soup in a few sips, Su Jinhui put away the bowl and said, "The concubine will retire...... There's another bowl to be sent to the queen. ”

The words "Queen Mother" seem to be rolling and rolling on the tip of the tongue, hot and hot.

"Yes." Emperor Yin Yuan nodded, seemingly extremely satisfied with her general knowledge.

Gu Jinglan lowered her eyes and knew it in her heart.

…… It seems that the last unexpected encounter in the Imperial Garden, not only did he recognize the other party, but the other party also seemed to recognize him.

When it was time to go back, Gu Jinglan said to Emperor Yinyuan: "Please go to Fengyi Palace to visit the queen mother, and ask Your Majesty for permission." ”

Emperor Yinyuan sighed and said to him, "Go ahead." By the way, I will stay for dinner, and I will come over later. ”

"Thank you."

After Gu Jinglan came out of the imperial study, she went straight to Fengyi Palace. The inner prisoner, who was guarding the door, went inside, and he stood in place without even moving.

A cold and indifferent face, even if the eyebrows are stunning and the facial features are beautiful, it is inevitably intimidating and untouchable. The vermilion pillar beside him was painted with gold paint on the phoenix that soared up, and at this moment, the golden red light reflected on his face, and it reflected a bit of the solemn grandeur of the treasure, making people suddenly feel that he was really the god in the sky, as if he was about to fly away on the phoenix.

In Fengyi Palace, Su Jinhui heard that the inner supervisor came in and reported that Lu Zhuangyuan was coming, so she offered to say goodbye.

At the door of the inner hall, Su Jinhui went out with the food box here, and Gu Jinglan walked in unhurriedly, and the moment the two of them crossed hands, Su Jinhui's feet staggered, and the food box in her hand fell to the ground.

Gu Jinglan lowered her eyes, picked up the food box, and then returned it with both hands, and did not forget to say: "Be careful." ”

Su Jinhui smiled apologetically at him, bowed her head and said, "Thank you." He left without looking back.

Gu Jinglan squeezed the note in her hand and clenched her fists.

Raising his head, he saw Empress Lu looking at them in astonishment—the dazedness, surprise, bewilderment, and anger on her face at that moment didn't even have time to put it away.

He couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, was he discovered?

Lu didn't say anything, and immediately put away the expression on his face after coming back to his senses, and took out a dignified and virtuous smile of the mother of a country to greet Gu Jinglan, Gu Jinglan had no choice but to suppress his doubts in his heart, his face was still light and light, and only the slightly sweaty palm showed his uneasiness.

- No one knew what Queen Lu thought of at that moment, so that this woman who had been in the deep palace for a long time didn't even have time to hide her true expression.

Only Queen Lu Wanying herself, who woke up in the middle of the night countless times, the last scene in her mind was in front of the main hall, under the carved beams and jade pillars, her mother's little nephew, and the favorite concubine of Emperor Yinyuan's harem, the two of them have strikingly similar side faces.

************************************************************

Gu Jinglan didn't dare to take out the note in his hand until he returned to Tinglanju. The note was not handwritten, but very carefully pasted with the words cut out from the book: "On the eighth day of the seventh month, the stone forest on the outskirts of Beijing." ”

It's only early April, and there is still some time before the eighth day of July, so there is no rush for the time being.

I can't take care of this game on the eighth day of July, and I have to prepare carefully now...... Gu Jinglan looked at the invitation card in his hand, it was a drinking party of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Household on April 15.

In the memory of the original owner, Shen Han, the head of the household, was the person he admired the most, and there was no one.

The reason is, Shen Han, he is a brother.

It stands to reason that when my brother becomes an official in the court, he should be subject to a lot of difficulties, and there will be a lot of prejudice and gossip. But Shen Han just acted as a brother and became a member of the court, in charge of the country's money and taxes. In fact, when Shen Han first entered the court, he was young and vigorous, and he offended many people, and finally he was calculated to get married, and he woke up the next day after the night of candles in the cave room.

However, Shen Hanqiang is strong here, even if he is forced to marry, he also has the ability to invite a group of colleagues again, in front of many relatives and friends of the Manchu Dynasty, a bowl of sterilization pills to drink: "I swear that I will not marry or marry in this life, have no children and no daughters, or be an official or a businessman, only for the country, only for the people......"

“…… Although the matter has come to this point, it is not irreparable," Shen Han threw the bowl down, and was arrogant: "Please leave my husband!" ”
