Gong Xiru didn't want to be the disciple of the overturned wall courtyard, but the difference between him and Ling Yi on the lightboat made him really unable to calm down in his heart.

He couldn't figure out Ling Yi's thoughts about him, it seemed to be different from others, but it didn't seem to be any different, and once he didn't think he was the one who was afraid of his children's affection.

But now, it is like there is an extra self in his heart, which is not controlled by his reason, and in the words of Gong Sheng's ridicule of him, that is, emotions dominate the body.

Gong Xiru originally planned to leave after taking a look, but if it was really as Gong Sheng said, he didn't want to leave when he came, even if he thought about leaving quickly countless times, but his feet couldn't move.

One more look, one more look. When he didn't know how many times he repeated such words in his heart, Lu Xiaotian, who rushed back to Ling Mansion from Xiaorentang, finally discovered the existence of these two people, and told Ling Yi without hesitation.

Ling Yi was a little surprised that Gong Xiru would climb over the wall, but thinking that this was not the first time, he was also relieved in his heart, after all, people can't look good, who knows what Gong Xiru, who looks cold on the outside, is like inside.

The weaving fan obeyed Ling Yi's instructions and ran out to invite someone.

"Master Hou, my young lady invites Master Hou to sit in the house."

Gong Xiru, who found Lu Xiaotian coming back, was about to leave, but the weaving fan ran over, stood under the corner and looked up at him, and invited him into the house with a smile.

Gong Xiru stumbled and almost fell off the wall, but fortunately Gong Sheng supported him and did not lose face.

But how good can this be, he is a marquis. But twice the master's family discovered his shameful deeds, and he was really embarrassed and thrown home.

But at this time, if you turn around and leave, it seems even more humiliating.

Gong Sheng tugged at Gong Xiru's sleeve and whispered, "Master Hou." You only think that you are not here to peep, but to visit in the open, and people say that only if you deceive yourself, you can deceive others. ”

Gong Xiru didn't even look at him, and jumped straight into the courtyard.

Weaving Fan was busy leading the way in front, taking Gong Xiru and Gong Sheng to the side hall.

At this time, Ling Yi had already arrived at the side hall.

It's past midnight. If a man still goes in and out of his daughter's boudoir, it really hurts customs, but it is different in the side hall.

The side hall is a hall for hospitality. The servants came and went, the guests and hosts were all neatly dressed, and the seats were clearly distinguished, so that even if people wanted to find fault, they couldn't say anything. After all, it's New Year's Eve. It's okay to stay up all night.

At that time, in Bihe Hall, Gong Chengyan and Gong Yunrui and the Peng family, as well as several other close relatives in the mansion and the four patriarchs with high moral integrity, sat in a room full of people, but next to Gong Chengyan, there was a gap missing.

"Could something happen to this kid Nagahiko, why didn't he come back as soon as he went out?" The one who spoke was the oldest in the Gong family. Ying Lao, who has the highest seniority, but he has always loved Gong Xiru the most. So there was no reproach in the tone, but full of concern and concern.

Gong Chengyan's face was a little bad, and he said lightly: "He didn't take the elders in his eyes at all, he knew that everyone was going to keep the New Year together tonight, but he still didn't return, not to mention my Bihetang, it is this palace, he hasn't stepped into it for more than half a month, it is estimated that in a few days, he will forget that he is a member of the palace family." ”

His words made Ying Lao very unhappy, and the old man stroked his long hanging silver beard and said: "What's wrong with young people being playful, tonight's lantern festival is already lively, if it weren't for my legs that can't walk, I have to go out to join in the fun, the child is still young, you will develop such an old-fashioned appearance, will you still be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future." ”

Gong Xiru arched his hand and apologized: "What Yude said made the old ancestor unhappy, and please forget what Yude said just now, let's wait." ”

Ji Lao is the second of the four patriarchs, but he is the most severe, and he can't help but be displeased when he hears the words: "It's okay when you don't have to do it at other times, but today it's still so wild, children know that they have to stay with their elders at home for the New Year, he is good, he goes out to play without a trace, and throws the elders into a room to wait for him, regardless of the young and the old." ”

Gong Yunrui sat next to Ji Lao and comforted the latter: "I'm afraid that the eldest brother has something to delay, and the second grandfather who has always been the most well-behaved is not unaware." ”

"It is precisely because I know his temperament that I have to say a few words about him, he does a very good job on weekdays, but today is special, but it is unruly, he really wants to move out of this palace."

Gong Yunrui lowered a few points and said: "Second grandfather, don't blame the eldest brother, the eldest brother has not returned to the palace once since he moved to the Hou Mansion, I once went to his mansion to take a look, but I saw other women in the mansion."

The eldest brother will be eighteen after the New Year, and it is time to say goodbye, presumably the eldest brother has also made waves in his heart for a certain girl's family. ”

When Ji Lao heard this, his face suddenly showed a little curiosity, and he asked, "Which girl did you see?" Chang Yan has never brought a girl to the house. ”

Gong Yunrui's hand unconsciously clenched a little, and said with a smile on his face: "I'm afraid it wasn't brought by the eldest brother, it's the girl's family who has something to find him, I heard that the eldest brother and Princess Haining are very close, and the emperor has issued a decree to choose the right person to marry Princess Haining after the year, I estimate that the possibility of touching the eldest brother is quite high, and the eldest brother will be the concubine of Ningguo at that time." ”

"Hmph, if Changyan delays tonight's New Year's Eve because of a woman, then the woman he likes is not suitable, men must not focus on women, once this balance is out of balance, the man must be pressed by the woman and can't get out.

You also remember that if the woman is too tough, then you can't marry, otherwise it will not be you who will be the master of the family in the future. ”

Gong Yunrui bowed his head slightly and muttered, "The eldest lady of the Ling family doesn't look like such a strong daughter, she should be gentle as water." ”

Ji Lao heard the meaning of his words, and asked again: "Chang Yan is the girl from Ling Mansion who has a crush on him?" ”

Gong Yunrui suddenly shut up and explained with a smile: "The eldest brother just admires Miss Ling more, and he also told me several times that Miss Ling is different from ordinary young ladies, and it is very interesting. ”

"There is no interesting woman in this world who is peaceful." The displeasure in Ji Lao's heart became stronger and stronger, and he was a little more dissatisfied with Ling Yi.

"I've heard of that Lingfu girl, she is a powerful character.

Smart, very smart, there have been countless rumors about her in the past year alone, and this is still so restless in the house, if she marries, wouldn't it be even more lawless.

No, if Changyan really values the girl of the Ling family, I won't agree to this family matter anyway. ”

Gong Yunrui's eyes flashed with joy, and he said: "Big brother and Miss Ling should just know each other, I think he and Princess Haining are close, if the Gong family can marry Princess Haining, it will be much more beneficial to our forces." ”

Ji Lao listened to this comfortably, and nodded slowly: "Yes, if the emperor can marry Princess Haining to Changyan, it would be great." (To be continued.) )
