Gu Cheng had been pretending to have something in his heart recently, and it was related to Shen Huan, and after thinking about it for two days, he decided to ask her what she meant first.
The general idea was said, Shen Huan was not ambiguous, and asked thoroughly, "Change my household registration, do you make up a single identity, or do you even have to change your name and surname?" ”
Gu Chengdao, "I thought about it, so let's change it all together, for the convenience of the future." I couldn't bear it, but I comforted her, "When you meet a good person in the future and can trust him, tell him slowly, and someone in this world will always know who you are." ”
There is indeed such a person, who knows who she is and doesn't care who she is, at this moment, is sitting across from her clearly.
Shen Huan smiled lightly, "I don't want to go so far, I'll listen to the life experience that the third brother made up for me." ”
Gu Cheng sighed slightly, "My mother's ancestral home is Luan County, so I said that you are a girl from her distant relative." It's just that you have to be wronged, and the illegitimate child can make excuses. After changing it, it will be her surname, as for the name, the word is too big, and the small family can't get it up, so it's better for you to think about it again. ”
Shen Huan ignored this stubble and asked, "Do you still have any money to deal with those beetles in the household department?" ”
Gu Cheng nodded, "You don't have to worry about this." After speaking, he couldn't help laughing again, "It is also the benefit of today's world, and there is nothing that cannot be done if you are willing to spend money." ”
Seeing that she didn't speak, Gu Cheng felt that she agreed, and when she got up to go, she suddenly smiled, "It's better to call it a ring, a ring with a grass ring." ”
His body froze again, staring at her, his eyes full of seriousness, "This word can be called, don't think about it, I'm not your benefactor, just your brother." ”
After speaking, he didn't stop, turned around and left, there was no clear and bright voice behind him, but there was a faint sigh, "I know, it's a big deal, I also want to be a person like you, who doesn't live up to his name." ”
Gu Cheng turned his back to her and smiled sincerely, there are too many people in this world who don't live up to their names, and they are not afraid of the two of them.
The matter happened by chance, it was the triennial Beijing Inspection, and the officials of all sizes held back their efforts to make the silver count, and no one would refuse additional income at this stall. What's more, Gu Chengben is a relative of the household servant, and the person who does the work receives the money and immediately accepts it.
It's just that in the end, Gu Cheng suddenly changed his mind, and didn't do what he had discussed with Shen Huan before.
The file registration of the household department still needs to be checked in the Shuntian Mansion. In order to show his sincerity, Gu Cheng personally came to the door and paid homage to Yin Linjian of Shuntianfu.
The five-entry house, the small bridge and flowing water, the winding path is secluded, and it has its own style and elegance. Under the corridor of the flower hall, there is a young man with stumbling sleeves, with girlish eyebrows and eyes. Seeing Gu Cheng from afar, he looked at it smartly, then turned around and swayed away.
Nowadays, the south wind prevails in officialdom, especially in Beijing, and I heard that it is still a habit brought out by the saints in the palace first. Gu Cheng remembered that when he took the palace exam four years ago, he had glimpsed the face of heaven on the throne, handsome and bright, but unfortunately he had a slightly sickly appearance. I don't know if the bones of the body are a little stronger under the south wind.
Yin Linjian of Shuntian Mansion, the official rank is too much higher than Gu Cheng, and the reason why he agrees with him is nothing more than the name of Beizhen Fusi and his surname Gu, these two reasons.
The two sides exchanged polite greetings for a while, and Gu Cheng explained his intentions, and mentioned by the way that the household department had changed his family name, implying that Shuntianfu only needed to be convenient.
Lin Jian had nothing to do, but stared at Gu Cheng, his shining eyes were a little shining, "It's a relative of Lingtang's side, who has lived in Luan County for so long, and has never had an identity, and the magistrates are too careless to teach your cousin to be wronged." Speaking of which, Gu Qianhu, a distant sister, is now placed in the house? ”
Gu Cheng didn't expect him to say so much, and said, "Yes, temporarily stay at home to take care of the lowly mother." ”
Lin Jian bowed his head and snorted, "It's not just to take care of Lingtang's matter?" I have the heart of a villain, Gu Qianhu should be interested in this cousin, something interesting? ”
begging someone to do something, Gu Cheng was still able to endure two cool words, but when he heard this, he straightened his complexion, "The adults laughed, the humble duty is entrusted by the family, and they just take care of their relatives, and they have no other ideas." ”
Lin Jian smiled, "It's me who said nonsense, Gu Qianhu is handsome, how can the daughters of small families match." I heard that Gu Qianhu has passed the weak crown and is still not married? ”
Gu Cheng nodded, and pulled the topic back again, "Master Lao asked, because Jiaci is not in good health and needs to be taken care of, he has never had this mind. Fortunately, my cousin helped me, and I also solved the worries of my humble position, so I didn't hesitate to run, and I also wanted to repay this favor, hoping that the adults could be sympathetic. ”
While speaking, while presenting the silver ticket, Lin Jian pushed it twice, and accepted it in half a push, but said with a smile, "What does Gu Qianhu mean by this, it's just a trivial matter, so polite." ”
said that it was late, and his right hand suddenly pressed Gu Cheng's hand holding the silver ticket, rubbed it one by one, and pinched his skeletal fingers by the way.
Gu Cheng had a good temper, and quietly shook off Lin Jian, his face sinking like water. Although Lin Jian was tempted, he could see that this gentle man was already displeased, since this kind of thing can't be asked by you, it is natural that he should laugh at it.
It's just that between Gu Chengqing's beautiful eyebrows and eyes, there is a unique and strong spirit, he stared at it for a moment, and suddenly realized that this is probably what people often say, no desire is rigid.
But he obviously has a request for himself. Lin Jian bowed his head and smiled, "That being the case, I am not polite to Gu Qianhu." You also know that nowadays you have to take care of everything you do, not only from above, but also from below...... Oh, by the way, I heard from your commander Li a while ago that the emperor is going to take the imperial envoy Peng in the near future, but it's a pity, his good collection in the room, nothing else, just a picture of Ni Zhan's fishing village in autumn, from now on unless you go to Wuying Palace, I'm afraid you will never see it again. ”
This cannot be answered, at least not immediately. Gu Cheng sighed silently in his heart, and still made a false appearance on his face. It wasn't until he left the Lin Mansion in a panic that he felt that his mood at this time was exactly the same as that day in the Liuxian Pavilion.
If there is no desire, it is rigid, and it is still too luxurious for people in the world, and it is unattainable.
In a hurry, when it comes to this, Gu Cheng still has to get things done. begged for Qian Zhi head-on, and his voice was much weaker.
Qian Zhi didn't say a word, and agreed. Gu Cheng had never seen the autumn picture of Yuzhuang, but he knew what it looked like, a person who had never seen the real work, described it to a person who had neither seen the real work nor heard the name of the painting, and finally really got the thing in his hand.
Lin Jian is like a treasure, it seems that he really likes it, a person who has the ultimate pursuit of beauty, supplemented by the ultimate greed, then he will most likely succeed and eventually seize the possession of beauty.
With the household registration rubbing, Gu Chenglai explained this matter to Shen Huan. Before he could take out something, Shen Huan asked with a smile, "It's done, can you talk about the cost?" ”
Gu Cheng didn't want to go into details, "After the matter is over, there is no need to ask again." Most of the time, the outcome is more important than the process. ”
Shen Huan smiled, "I want to know if the money you have spent on me so far is enough to make a golden man." ”
Gu Chengrao thought with interest and nodded, "You were originally a daughter. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Shen Huan asked, "Did you really give that name as I said?" ”
Gu Cheng took out the rubbing book and handed it to her, "You can read it yourself." ”
Shen Huan took it with a smile, glanced at it, Huo Ran raised his head, "What do you mean, this is not what we said before." ”
A page of paper was pressed on the table, and the name Gu Jin was written on it.
Shen Huan stared at Gu Cheng, Gu Chengyun was light, "It's more convenient this way, your surname is Gu, and you are the rightful young lady in this house." Otherwise, there are some melons and plums."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Huan's eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly explained patiently, "You know, there is a kind of person who specializes in staring at things in other people's doors."
"Are you afraid of being targeted and said that you have a loss of personal morality?" Shen Huan interrupted, his eyes cold, "Affect the promotion of the future career?" ”
Gu Cheng was not angry at all, and looked extremely patient, "Don't be afraid, I'm not that promising, and I won't do anything big in the future." ”
Shen Huan disagreed, "After finishing things, I saw the corruption of officialdom, and I began to be discouraged?" ”
Gu Cheng smiled, "You don't have to know to know that I really don't have big ambitions." ”
"And you're going to take the test?" Shen Huan smiled sarcastically.
Gu Cheng lowered his head and smiled, "I am the only boy in the family, my father still has hope, I can't disobey my elders." ”
"In this way, you can be regarded as filial piety, and this is to satisfy your wife's hopes?" Shen Huan's sarcasm was like a serial stab.
Gu Cheng's face was calm, "It's okay, one day I will quit my errand." I just don't know when, but of course I can't say it anymore. ”
It means that on the day of Xu's absence, Shen Huan could hear it, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, "Okay, then let's talk back to Fang Cai." I thank you in advance for the sake of my reputation. But there is something that must be said, because you have never asked me if I would like to be your sister. ”
This is already the case, it is too late to ask again, Gu Cheng thought about it, and replied to her, "First reluctantly do it for a few years, and when you are over fifteen, while I am still in office, it is somewhat cheap, and I will find you a good family businessman, preferably a serious businessman, with a family property and a talent."
Shen Huan couldn't listen to it, and absolutely cut off his words, "Why did you take me in, do you think that you can't live with me if you take my things, or do you pity me?" ”
Gu Cheng didn't hesitate, and responded to her affirmatively, "Not all, I pity you for the sudden family change, and I pity you for your talent and martial arts." ”
Shen Huan laughed and raised his eyebrows, "It turns out that you appreciate me, and because you appreciate me, you want to push me to others?" ”
Gu Cheng sighed lightly and shook his head, "It's not pushing, it's about finding a home for you." ”
Shen Huan smiled coldly, his neck was erect, like a swan, "There's no need, my fate should be up to me." ”
She was so powerful that he was silent. After a moment of silence, Shen Huan spoke, "Words are not speculative. Gu Cheng comprehended and stood up, "Then I'll go first." ”
He felt that she should still have something to say, probably angry or ridiculous words, and sure enough, after walking a few steps, he heard her ask lightly, "You took me in to do good deeds?" ”
He couldn't say it clearly, and sighed silently, "I don't know, I didn't think about it that much, I did it, I did it, and I didn't ask why." ”
Shen Huan didn't ask any more questions, Gu Cheng walked out of the door, stood in the sun, and quietly recalled her words.
Good deeds, he didn't know if they counted, he had explained all the reasons to her, word by word, all sincerely.
But if, as she says, it is a good deed, then it should be allowed to start and end, and it should not be changed for any reason.
