A smile squeezed out of the corner of Gu Dartmaster's mouth, and he picked up the wine glass in his hand and touched it lightly with me......

The wind swept over, and Aunt Dong in the other position finally couldn't help but sigh softly.

As soon as you enter the mouth, you know that the rice wine is a good wine, and it takes a lot of effort to make it.

Gu Dart's pale face gradually softened.

After a moment of silence, she faced me with three points of wine, and said slowly: "Xiaolin, although I know that you and your eldest brother must go to the capital of Sealand, but there are a few words, I pressed in my heart, and I decided to take advantage of tonight's opportunity to say it." ”

I picked up my glass and smiled softly at her, "Listen up." ”

Seeing this, Aunt Dong knew that we might have in-depth topics to discuss, so she had the intention to avoid it, so she smiled and said, "I'll go and bring some mutton soup to my nephew, he still has to read until midnight." ”

"It's cold, if you don't eat something, it's a sin to stay up late to study."

Putting aside the topic for the time being, I looked curiously at the side room with the lights on, turned my eyes to Aunt Dong and said, "Isn't Xilan's exam also limited to men and women?" ”

"Hey, that's to the point." Aunt Dong quickly retracted her raised foot, and actually changed her mind and sat down in front of me and said, "Xiaolin, I can be sure now, you must be the first to come back to Xilan." ”

"How so?" I raised my eyebrows and asked Auntie.

"Do you need to talk about it?" Seeing that I was interested in this topic, Gu Dart Master also cooperated to temporarily interrupt the topic just now.

The night was very long, and there was enough time to chat with me, and the topic of Aunt Dong in front of her seemed to give both of them room to play. "Aunt Dong saw that you didn't understand everything that everyone knew about Xilan, so she naturally deduced that you were the first to come back." "I see," I said, taking a sip from my glass, "both of you respect Sealand's system so much, and it must be true that both men and women can be elected to the court as officials in the examination." "That's right," Mrs. Dong's eyes showed pride, and her voice raised a few points. This decree was promulgated during the reign of the first emperor, so in the current Sealand country, both men and women can enter the court as official ......" "Compared with the country where men are in power, it can be said that Sealand is a big cut better than them. “

I groaned for a moment. Nod in agreement.

Thinking about it from another perspective, the previous ruler of Sealand was really an enlightened person.

"Actually, there's a story hidden in this."

"Oh," I was intrigued, and intrigued to know.

Aunt Dong looked at my expression and glanced at Gu Dart Master sitting next to me: "Let Gu Liu tell you, I will still send it to my nephew while the broth is hot." ”

"Okay." I nodded in agreement, and Master Gu watched the eldest lady enter the side room with me, and there was a low voice in the room, and I couldn't hear what she was saying. Gu Dartmaster's eyes had already turned back to my direction.

"Speaking of which, it was many years ago."

When Gu Dart Master spoke, there was a faint flush on his face, under the moonlight and lights, a good-looking novel:. The plain-looking cheerful and hard face adds a sense of beauty and charm.

Hearing the strings and singing and knowing the elegance, seeing that even her usual expression has changed, it means that this story is connected to the story of the first emperor of Sealand - how much will be related to love.

I guessed right!

When Emperor Sealand was in power, when she was very young, she once went out for a private visit to Weifu and met a man she liked. She fell in love with that son at first sight, and with her status, it was actually easy to get that son into the palace.

After all, at that time, being able to enter the Sealand Palace was a way out for the nobles of the people, and aside from their own factors, the benefits to the family alone were inexhaustible.

At that time, the emperor and queen family of the harem controlled the salt and silk trade in Sealand. One big family.

Compared with the emperor and queen set by his parents' orders, the first emperor was really emotional this time, so not only did he not want the harem to trap the son, but he even moved the idea of abdicating to make way for Xian, wanting to live and fly with the other party. Be an ordinary folk couple......

As a result, there were many twists and turns in the middle, and naturally in the end, the good wish was not realized, but because of the son, Sealand issued a series of new decrees, including the liberalization of the regulations for taking exams regardless of gender.

Gu Dartmaster's statement was intermittent, and he stopped to drink from time to time in the middle, but I understood the general content and sighed in my heart.

The wine has already passed the third round, and because the rice wine is homemade by Mrs. Dong, it doesn't matter how much it is, it is basically a state of wanting to drink, so I drank it with Gu Dartmaster, and it looks like it is about twice the amount of alcohol I usually drink.

Fortunately, I had been prepared for a long time, and it seemed that I drank frequently, but in fact, I never drank to the bottom of the glass every time.

It wasn't a party, and there was no one to confirm that I was drinking to the bottom of the glass, so I just took a chance to drink less.

I don't want to get drunk to the point of being unconscious on the way back, and besides, the Gu Dart Master sitting in front of me will drink too much in my expectation.

I've got to keep my hand and be prepared.

Don't make it over, there was no one to help her into the carriage

Aunt Dong, who delivered the mutton soup, came out of the side room, and the bowl in her hand was already empty.

She walked to the table and saw that Gu Dart Master was already lying on the table and drunk, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and when she turned her head to see me sitting well, her surprised expression deepened.

"Xiaolin, you have a good amount of alcohol." Aunt Dong sighed and said, "Few people can drink Gu Liu down." ”

"Wine is even more sorrowful, and you can't get rid of it by wine." I said in a low voice, watching the eldest lady go and return and get a coat to cover Gu Liu, who was lying on his stomach.

"Onlookers understand the truth, but when it comes to themselves, it's not so clear and clear." Aunt Dong pressed the corner of Gu Liu's clothes, raised her eyes and looked at me and said, "Xiaolin, do you say this is the truth." ”

"Yes." I smiled lowly and reached out to pour myself another glass of wine, "This wine is not strong at first, but it has a lot of stamina." ”

Aunt Dong smiled and said, "You're not the first person to say that, so I usually advise you to drink." ”

The corners of my mouth furrowed, and I pointed at Gu Liudao: "Then why didn't you persuade her tonight?" ”

"Naturally, it's because she can't be persuaded either, besides, her heart is too bitter, and there are many things entangled, and it's good to get drunk once."

"Xiaolin, don't feel strange, Gu Liu's actions." Aunt Dong explained for her softly, and her eyes looking at Gu Liu's lying figure were full of love.

"You had a handkerchief with her mother?" I asked about the message I just heard, a good novel:.

"Yes, many years of friendship, I watched Gu Liu's child grow up."

Aunt Dong said with a sigh: "Don't look at her now, she was a delicate and weak girl when she was a child, but the situation at home did not allow her to stay comfortably for the rest of her life, so she practiced martial arts and followed her mother, until she became the Gu Liu you see now." ”

"There's nothing wrong with that." I said in a low voice, then raised my head and looked at Aunt Dong with bright eyes, "No one stipulates what kind of model a lifetime must be. ”

"You're right, Xiaolin, you're young, and you really see things clearly?!"

Aunt Dong praised me again.

Transparent?! My eyes darkened, and I inadvertently remembered another person, like him, who could be worthy of these two words, and I didn't know if he was alone or with a large group of subordinates on such a night.

The longing suddenly spread like a tide, and my feelings were a little low, so I quickly suppressed the sadness in my heart, and raised my hand and poured a few sips of wine.

After a short silence in the courtyard, Aunt Dong started the topic and said, "Xiaolin, Gu Liuke told you something important just now. ”

"Something important?" I paused in my tone, and looked at Aunt Dong with puzzled eyes, "What do you mean?" ”

"The eldest lady fell in love with you, and she didn't bother to beat around the bush, so she made it clear and straightforward."

"Okay."

"I heard Gu Liu say that you and your eldest brother went to the capital of Sealand through Hengcheng, right?" Aunt Dong asked me.

"Yes, I am ready to leave tomorrow morning, I will leave today, but during the day because of some things delayed the purchase of the items needed on the carriage, you also know that this trip to the capital of Zealand, along the way there are many barren mountains and uninhabited places, if you are not prepared, the road will inevitably be embarrassed."

"I'm not so particular about myself, but my eldest brother is the one who stays in the Gu Family Dart Bureau and rests early, he is riddled with old illnesses, and he can't get better, this time I go back to Sealand, and we plan to visit a few famous doctors to see him sick."

"He's with me, and it's my job to take care of him."

I said earnestly: "Gu Dart Master is a warm-hearted person, the first day we came, I encountered a siege on Hengcheng Street, or she rode a horse to relieve the siege for me. ”

"When she heard that we were going to buy things, she asked my eldest brother to make a list, and she asked her subordinates to go out and buy them."

I put down the wine glass in my hand, explained the cause and effect to Aunt Dong in detail, and also told Gu Liu about the carriage on the mountain road falling into the quagmire.

Aunt Dong looked at me intently, listened very carefully, accompanied by frequent nods, and finally a subtle look flashed on her face, and she lowered her voice and said to me: "Xiaolin, since you are so frank, I might as well tell a few words of truth, Gu Liu didn't have time to say something." ”

"It's really inappropriate for you to go to the capital of Sealand at this time."

I sighed in my heart, frowned at Aunt Dong and said, "We just went to join our relatives, what's inappropriate?" ”

"You don't know much about Sealand, and your relative probably didn't bother to tell you in detail."

"It takes a lot of time to send a letter from Sealand to Huguo, and even if he knows something, he will definitely not have time to tell you."

I suppressed the doubts in my heart, and looked at Aunt Dong for a moment.

"Xiaolin," Aunt Dong said with a solemn expression, "There will be a war in Xilan soon, and the timing of your arrival is really inappropriate!" ”
