Section 406 Romance

Mother's guess is a bit out of thin air.

Gu Jinzhi couldn't say it directly, so he said: "Mother, you didn't ask Brother Xuan'er, how do you know that he is annoying this?" What if something else? Why don't I ask for you again? ”

Mother, however, had many reasons.

She told Gu Jinzhi one by one: "You went to Luzhou, Brother Xuan is in Songshan Academy, Brother Xuan doesn't have any friends in Beijing, and he was only a teenager when I met Li Huai, and I didn't want to restrain him too much." Li Huai is the most clever and plays in different ways. The Li family is not like our family, which has a shallow foundation, and it has to ask the children to work hard. The children of the Li family have a future if they don't cause trouble.

Brother Xuan envied Li Huai, and listened to Li Huai's words, and he had to compare him in everything.

Since Li Huai's concubine last year, he has been unhappy when he mentioned it.

Yesterday, he knew that you and the prince should accompany you at home when you and the prince returned to Beijing, but he still went to Li's house for a banquet. I don't dare to say it, he still has your sister in his eyes. He regards the Li family's banquet more seriously than you, doesn't he have to support his face outside?

Friends outside all marry wives and take concubines, and our family is strictly controlled, and he doesn't even have a room, so he must have been laughed at. Brother Xuan is like your father, thin-skinned, and he can't stand the ridicule of others. I thought that his marriage should be settled sooner rather than later."

Gu Jinzhi listened to his mother's analysis of such a lot, which was reasonable and well-founded, and knew that his mother believed it.

Although Gu Jinzhi felt that these things might be his mother's assumptions, they were not enough to explain Brother Xuan'er's problem.

Gu Jinzhi knew better why Brother Xuan ran out yesterday.

She didn't break it, and she didn't refute her mother. just said: "The family affairs are all in charge of the mother." You can do it. It's just hard work for you again."

"What's so hard about marrying a daughter-in-law?" Song Paner laughed.

She was happy.

Gu Jinzhi didn't say anything anymore.

In the morning, there was a visit from home.

My mother also had a number of relatives and friends who did not go.

Gu Jinzhi said, "You go and get busy with you." I also want to go to see Jiang Xin in the morning, and if it's still early, I also want to go to the eldest aunt and second aunt to pay a New Year's greeting."

My mother has been in Beijing all these years and has also met a lot of people.

The depth of friendship is different, but every family has a banquet during the New Year, and it is time to go to the New Year. Forget it on weekdays, but you can't push it off for the New Year.

"I'll be back early in the afternoon, and you'll all have dinner here." Mother thought about it and told Gu Jinzhi a few words. Eventually went out.

Gu Jinzhi said yes. personally sent my mother to the door of the weeping flowers.

As soon as his mother left, Gu Jinzhi did not turn around, and went to the outer courtyard by the way.

She found Brother Xuan in the small study in Brother Xuan'er's yard.

The maids came out. whispered: "The Ninth Young Master is in the study"

Gu Jinzhi waved his hand. Let the maids not follow. She walked in lightly by herself, and Brother Xuan was writing.

Brother Xuan sat upright, and the pen was elegant. Sprinkled with water, the side face has a faint gloss, very handsome. He has grown from a small Zhengtai back then to a handsome young man today, as if in an instant.

When Brother Xuan had no intention of studying, he used practicing calligraphy to play the glowing yin, which was still Gu Jinzhi's habit back then.

Gu Jinzhi relaxed his steps slightly.

Brother Xuan didn't look back, and said, "You don't need to change the tea, let's go out." "He was only a servant.

The maids had to refill him every quarter of an hour.

Gu Jinzhi laughed.

Brother Xuan heard that the laughter was wrong, and turned his head to look. Seeing that it was Gu Jinzhi, a word in his hand was broken. He hurriedly put down his pen and greeted him, "Seventh sister, why are you here?" ”

"You are hiding from your sister, but your sister is thinking of your brother." Gu Jinzhi smiled, "I can't see you enough for how many years." You ran away after breakfast, obviously because you didn't want to talk to me, so I had to come along."

Brother Xuan hurriedly defended: "Seventh sister, this is wrong to me. I just thought that my husband would come back after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and I didn't finish a lot of homework, so I wasn't hiding from the seventh sister. ”

"I'm in Beijing, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the Yuan Festival." Gu Jinzhi interrupted him, "You don't want to say a few more words to me?" I don't know when I'll go back to Beijing next time. Maybe another seven years"

Brother Xuan's heart hurt, and his eyes were full of guilt. He misses the seventh sister very much. If he hadn't said the wrong thing yesterday, he would have run away in embarrassment, and he wouldn't have made my sister feel cold.

Brother Xuan was very reluctant not to go.

He fell silent, not knowing how to apologize.

The maids came in with tea, interrupting the silence in the room.

Gu Jinzhi took the tea with a smile and asked the maids for their names.

Brother Xuan hurriedly introduced them to her one by one.

That bit of embarrassment was so invisibly resolved.

Then, the sister and brother sat on the Taishi chair in the study and drank tea.

Gu Jinzhi smelled the light Longjing incense, put the teacup to his lips and dipped it, and put the teacup down again without drinking half a drop of water.

She didn't drink tea, she just put on a show.

Brother Xuan didn't notice her little action, and only cared about drinking tea.

Even if he noticed, he probably didn't know why.

Gu Jinzhi inadvertently put his hand on his lower abdomen, and then picked up the teacup again, made a gesture again, and dipped the edge of the teacup on his lips.

"Yesterday afternoon, you ran away without saying anything." Gu Jinzhi put down the teacup and asked Brother Xuan with a smile, "Which girl do you like?" Sue sù Seventh Sister, Seventh Sister help you sue sù Niang. ”

Brother Xuan is now most disgusted with communicating with his parents.

Gu Jinzhi remembered that when Rong Nan was so old, he was also very silent, and he didn't say anything when he asked. There was a gap of two or three years between the two of them. At that time, boys began to pretend to be girls in their hearts, and their behavior became abnormal.

Everyone's table is different.

Brother Xuan'er's appearance is very similar to Rong Nan back then, Gu Jinzhi knows his mood.

This is not cowardice or silence, it is just a stage of growth.

Not every boy has this stage.

As it happens, Rongnan has. Brother Xuan also has it.

"I don't want to make my mother angry" Brother Xuan listened to Gu Jinzhi's words, held the teacup in his hand, and muttered after a while, "Let's talk about it later." ”

Mother has been worrying about Brother Xiu's affairs.

Brother Xuan's results in the spring are undecided, and her mother's mood is uncertain, and Brother Xuan dare not say anything.

"In a little while, it will be too late." Gu Jinzhi said with a smile, "My mother told me that after the first month, I will invite someone to go to the Zou family to protect the media." ”

Brother Xuan was stunned.

He looked at Gu Jinzhi in a daze: "Why is it so fast?" ”

He probed his mother's tone before, and his mother wanted to wait for the starling spring to have a result before marrying him.

Gu Jinzhi told Fang Cai's mother to tell her. Word by word, I learned it to Brother Xuan'er: "My mother mistakenly thinks that you miss your daughter-in-law." He behaved abnormally. Daddy and Mom love you very much, and they break their hearts for you. They guessed that you wanted a daughter-in-law, so they would give you Zhang Luo immediately. Your business is to tell your mother by yourself. Or do you want me to help you say it? ”

Brother Xuan was stunned.

He was taken by Gu Jinzhi's words. It's a mess.

Think about it though. Mother has always been an acute child, vigorous and resolute.

Maybe when my mother went out today, she begged someone to be a matchmaker for her.

Brother Xuan sorted out his panicked thoughts. Looking at the seventh sister sitting in front of her, she thought that there was no way out, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Seventh sister, you help me talk to my mother"

"Okay, I'll go tell you." Gu Jin said, "But you can't lie to me." If what you say is not in line with the truth, my mother will think that we will unite to deceive her, and I will be cold to me, and I will not follow it. Tell me what you are doing. ”

Brother Xuan nodded.

He touched his nose in embarrassment, and said with difficulty: "Seventh sister, it's the cousin of the third sister-in-law."

In Gu Jinzhi's heart, he inexplicably had the worst plan.

As soon as Brother Xuan talked about the third sister-in-law's cousin, Gu Jinzhi quickly went through the affairs of the third sister-in-law's mother's family in her heart.

She asked Brother Xuan, "What cousin, aunt cousin, aunt cousin or uncle cousin?" ”

The third sister-in-law, Xia, is the granddaughter of Xia Shoufu.

Sanshu has an aunt who married into the Tan family.

Except for the Tan family, the rest of Gu Jinzhi can accept it.

She was only afraid that Brother Xuan would say that she was the third sister-in-law's aunt and cousin, and that aunt and cousin happened to be from the Tan family.

Gu Jinzhi's eyes were urgent, and he looked at Brother Xuan.

Brother Xuan was embarrassed by her, and his voice was like a gnat: "The cousin of the third sister-in-law's aunt's family." ”

Gu Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

The third sister-in-law did not have an aunt to marry into the Tan family.

That's enough.

Her smile also encouraged Brother Xuan.

Brother Xuan'er's voice gradually became a little confident: "Before Uncle moved, I saw her. That time was the second full moon ceremony of the third sister-in-law, and she and her mother came. She had heard about you, and specifically asked me, Seventh Sister, if you are a miracle doctor. She talked to me a lot, and I promised to give her a few medicine books. Later, when I got older, I didn't meet every year, but after two or three years, I could see it once at the third brother's side. ”

Gu Jinzhi smiled.

Uncle moved in Shuntian for ten years.

At that time, Brother Xuan was only eleven or twelve years old, and the cousins of the third sister-in-law were probably not ten years old.

The children are young, and they don't know how to hide when the family is busy.

Gu Jinzhi's third sister-in-law, Xia, gave birth to another baby boy when she was ten years old in Shuntian.

Brother Xuan went into the inner house to see the child, and met the person he liked.

"Did you give her a medicine book?" Gu Jinzhi asked.

"Given." Brother Xuan said, "When she asked, my mother was also there. After returning home, my mother said that a man should be true to his word. My grandfather still had a few medicine books in his study, and my mother asked me to pick out two, and she asked someone to send them to her house. ”

Gu Jinzhi smiled again.

Medicine books are precious.

"The third sister-in-law's aunt?" Gu Jinzhi thought about it, but still had no impression, "Which one is it?" ”

Their family name is Cai, and his grandfather is also a Fengguo general, the third generation of hereditary lineage. By her father's generation, there was nothing. Brother Xuan said. After speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Gu Jinzhi would dislike others, and said, "Speaking of which, their family is also prestigious." ”

Gu Jinzhi smiled.

Most of the families in Beijing are more prestigious than the Gu family.

In the eyes of the old nobles, the Gu family is an explosive household.

"What's her name?" Gu Jinzhi asked again.

"It's called Cai Wei, and my nickname is Sister Su." Brother Xuan said.
