The next morning, the Su family went to Guo's house as a guest.

Guo Shi today wore ten kinds of brocade makeup and flower gowns with red placket, red gold inlaid jasper hairpins on his head, and ruby pendant earrings in his ears.

"Deng Sanye hasn't arrived yet, but Wanzhu and his wife have arrived, chatting in the house, and it will be even more lively as soon as you come." Guo Shi waved his hand and instructed his subordinates: "Go and prepare hot tea, snacks and sweets, and add incense to the incense burner by the way." ”

The subordinates hurriedly received the order to do it.

Guo Shi immediately took Mrs. Xiao and Zhang Ying's hands and went to the living room.

Mrs. Xiao, who was pulled by her enthusiasm, felt a little embarrassed in her heart.

In her impression, Guo Shi had never been so warm and friendly to her, but now that she saw that her attitude was completely different from the past, she really couldn't adapt to it for a while.

However, she felt comforted when she saw that Guo was generous and talked and laughed, and the whole person slowly became natural.

Guo Wanzhu and Deng Shimao were already sitting in the living room, and when they saw them coming in, they hurriedly got up to greet each other.

Su Shanyun found that Guo Wanzhu's complexion was much better than before, and she was secretly happy for her.

A few people sat down and chatted.

After learning about the situation of Su Shanyun's fiancé's family, Deng Shimao said with a smile: "The people in your fiancé's family are really amazing!" ”

Su Shanyun hurriedly said modestly: "Where." ”

"I have a cousin who also serves in the palace, but we haven't been in touch for years." Deng Shimao said again.

"That's a coincidence. I wonder which department she works in the palace? Su Shanyun hurriedly asked.

"A few years ago, I heard that it was a royal Shangyi, but now I don't know."

"Oh." Su Shanyun nodded.

Suddenly, it occurred to me that since she was the person next to the emperor. So if I knew her, I might be able to learn some things about the emperor, so maybe it would also be able to help the Yan family avoid the disaster three years later, so Su Shanyun asked again: "What's her name?" ”

Deng Shimao replied very casually: "Her name is Deng Ailian, the same age as me, I guess that she should be transferred to other departments at the age of forty, but she should still be in the palace." ”

"Okay, I'll help you inquire after entering Beijing."

"Well, if you can meet her, let her write a letter to the family, her mother has been talking about wanting to see her for the past two years."

"Has she not been back in a long time?" Su Shanyun asked curiously.

"It's been almost a decade." Deng Shimao replied.

Su Shanyun was shocked, it stands to reason that the palace maid also has the opportunity to return to her hometown to visit relatives every year. How could she not come back for so long? However, Su Shanyun was embarrassed to ask more. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell you when I see her." ”

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a burst of talking outside, and everyone knew that it should be Su Shanhao's fiancé Deng Youguang who came, and they all hurriedly got up to greet each other.

This Deng Youguang is about twenty-four or five years old. The silhouette is somewhat similar to Deng Shimao's. But it's a little more prominent. He is tall and straight, and his words and deeds are also very gentle.

Guo's heart blossomed when he saw him coming, and he hurriedly smiled and stepped forward and said, "It's just a meal." Why did you bring so many things? ”

Although he said politely, his eyes had already swept to the people, and the people hurriedly stepped forward to take the gifts brought by Deng Youguang.

"It's not a valuable thing, I hope you don't dislike it." Deng Youguang said, and then went into the living room to salute everyone.

"You sit down and talk, I'll go to the kitchen and have a look." Guo said with a smile and walked out with his skirt in his hand.

And the people continued to gossip.

Deng Youguang rarely spoke, but Deng Shimao gushed endlessly as soon as he opened his mouth. Most of what he talks about is what happened to the little people in the market, and others may not like to listen to it, but Su Shanyun listens to it with relish. Deng Youguang saw that Su Shanyun liked to listen, so he said to her.

When talking about what happened in the streets and alleys, Deng Shimao's expression was not only calm, but also very proud, as if those were interesting things.

Guo Wanzhu didn't like to listen to these things very much before, but now she likes them more and more, so when he speaks, she listens with her ears pricked up and laughs at him from time to time.

Su Shanyun suddenly felt that she was very happy like them, and she was sincerely happy for them.

After a while, Guo Shi came in and said, "Lunch is ready, everyone come with me to the dining room." ”

At this point, everyone was hungry, and when they heard her say this, they immediately got up and followed her.

The lunch menu is very varied, and almost everyone's taste is catered for.

Everyone ate to their heart's content.

When parting, Deng Shimao said to Su Shanyun: "If you can really see my cousin, I hope to help me give her another word." ”

"You say."

"Let's just say that if she doesn't want to stay in the palace, she will come back, after all, there is still a mother and two younger brothers at home, so there will be no place to stay."

"Okay." Su Shanyun nodded solemnly.

"My cousin's thinking is also special, but when a woman reaches this age, she has to settle down where she belongs." Deng Shimao said again.

Su Shanyun understood what he meant, and nodded with a smile.

So everyone took their leave.

…………………

In the evening, Yan Jinxuan, who had finished a day's work, left the political hall and strode towards the gate of the palace.

Yan Shichong happened to lead a group of people in his direction at this time.

When the two got closer and closer, Yan Jinxuan saluted him.

Yan Shichong said with a cold face: "Lord Yan, we are really a narrow family!" ”

Yan Jinxuan hugged his fist at him, smiling without saying a word.

"I heard that you're about to get married, and the other party is the niece of Tobe Shangshu, right?" Yan Shichong asked.

Yan Jinxuan sighed in his heart, and immediately became vigilant, but his face was calm and said, "It's just a matter of the inner house." ”

Yan Shichong glanced at Yan Jinxuan meaningfully.

Yan Jinxuan looked back at him quietly.

Both of them had gunpowder smoke in their eyes.

"Lord Yan, let's see." Yan Shichong said, the voice was like squeezing out of his teeth.

"Okay, the juniors will accompany you to the end." Yan Jinxuan said, looking at him like a torch.

Yan Shichong couldn't stand his gaze a little, so he hurriedly looked away and walked past him with a sneer.

Yan Jinxuan also continued to walk.

After getting into the carriage, Yan Jinxuan said to Gu Song: "Go to Fengzi Chao there first." ”

Honka immediately obeyed.

"Zichao, help me recruit ten more martial arts masters." Seeing Fengzi facing back, Yan Jinxuan said.

"Okay." Toyoko replied busily.

"Strive to recruit me this month." Yan Jinxuan added.

"Good! By the way, why are you suddenly recruiting so many people again? Feng Zichao asked puzzled.

"Where I can be useful." Yan Jinxuan said.

Feng Zichao didn't dare to ask any more questions.

But when he saw that Yan Jinxuan seemed to have something on his mind, he couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, I will be able to recruit all of them before the end of the month." ”

Yan Jinxuan nodded, drank two cups of tea and got up to leave. (To be continued......)
