If you ask who the most valuable bachelor in the Dashun Dynasty is, ninety-nine out of a hundred people will tell you that it is Lord Gu.

This Lord Gu is called Gu Fangsheng, the official is a Cabinet Counselor of Hallym University, a serious first-class member, and he is dignified and elegant, and he also has a sister who is a queen and governs with the emperor.

But he turned out to be a bachelor! He has not yet married a wife, and it is said that there is no concubine or anything like that in the family. If there is anything to be sent to the family, it is all troublesome for Mrs. Xiao Hou to help take care of it, oh, this Mrs. Xiao Hou is said to be the former sister-in-law of Lord Leng of Dali Temple, and she has a good relationship with Lord Gu, just like the eldest sister, and always takes care of her.

I'm afraid there is some hidden illness in this adult, right?

The people gossiped about this matter in private, and some people asked tentatively.

Nonsense, how is it possible, this adult is the twin brother of the queen's mother, do you know that they are dragon and phoenix fetuses? My sister is a phoenix, how can my brother be bad?

At that time, people were still very superstitious, believing that the birth date would have an impact on people's fate, this Lord Gu and the queen mother were born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, thinking that he was definitely a blessed person, but why did he not marry when he was over forty.

". I was really worried, and I told him how many times, but he looked at the girls' introductions and put them aside. ”

On this day, the former Leng Niang, and now Mrs. Xiao came to see Liansheng again, and when she talked about Fangsheng, she was more anxious than Liansheng, her own sister.

Back then, Leng Nan took out all his savings to give his sister-in-law a dowry, and Xiao Houyong married a widow from a poor family, which was once praised in the capital. No one thought of Marquis Xiao, who has always loved to mess around. After marrying a cold lady, it was like a different person, and he became a good husband. Soon his son Xiao Shu also came back, although he could no longer be an official, but the life of the Hou Mansion was quite comfortable, and Gu Lianyong left three more children behind him, all of which needed to be taken care of by Mrs. Leng . The former cold lady, after more than ten years of training, has grown into a capable housewife, and has put the Hou Mansion and Fangsheng's house in order. But when she thought that Fang Sheng had never planned to get married, her heart was not down. She wants the queen to come to court now. is busy with affairs, so she has to care more about these things, but in the past ten years, she has broken her mouth. Fang Sheng will always disagree. I can't figure out what he's thinking.

"Sister-in-law. I also asked Fang Sheng what he meant, and he said that he was a woman he didn't like. Liansheng sighed, "I'm also in a hurry, you see that even Shu'er is sixteen years old." We all counted to forty, so he wasn't in a hurry at all. ”

He said that there is a world in the book, I showed him that he couldn't look down on any of the famous women in the capital, and in recent years, there have been many new female officials who have taken a fancy to him, and they went to the house to block people in person, and he also avoided them. Mother, why is this? ”

"Maybe it's out of sight?"

Liansheng knew that his younger brother was arrogant on the one hand. On the one hand, it may also be because of Gu Shangshu's matter, he really doesn't have much hope for marriage and family, and now he is over forty, and his heart knot should be untied after so many years.

Before Liansheng could find Fang Sheng, he received good news that Li Shu had returned with the princess and envoys of England.

The group got off the boat from Guangzhou, and the news was sent all the way to the capital.

Li Shu has been gone for three years, this is the first time to go home to visit relatives, Yu Shizhao and Liansheng couldn't close their mouths happily, Yu Shizhao even had to go to meet his daughter immediately.

"You are the king of a country, how can you leave the capital easily, you don't have to work and lose money."

"My precious girl is back, and I can't sit still. Hey, Leng Nan and his family also came back. What about Zhen'er? ”

"Look, you jumped three feet high when you saw your daughter come back, did you forget, isn't Zhen'er going to France?"

Yu Shizhao walked around excitedly, and suddenly patted the back of his head: "Yes, ask Fangsheng to take Xiaoyan to greet you, and I will be relieved when they go." An English princess sent our most handsome and dashing Hanlin bachelor in Dashun to greet her, and she has a face! ”

Fang Sheng was also very happy to know that his niece was back, and took Xiaoyan to take the errand and embarked on the journey to meet him.

Leng Xiaoyan is one year older than the crown prince, he is twenty-two years old this year, he participated in the imperial examination when he was sixteen years old, and now he works in the Ministry of Rites.

Now women in the Dashun Dynasty can come out to be officials, and they can also go out to do things, the restrictions are much looser, and the status of women is gradually improving, and it is not a strange thing that they are not married in their twenties.

Leng Xiaoyan went out as an official of the Ministry of Rites, and she should have sat in the carriage obediently, but where could she sit, dressed in men's clothes, riding on a horse, and running happily.

"Master Gu, your horse is really slow."

She has lived by Liansheng's side since she was a child, and when she was a child, she called Uncle Fangsheng with the Li family brothers and sisters, but since she became an official, she only called Master Gu.

"Xiaoyan, this is a long way, you can't bear to run like this."

Fang Sheng gently persuaded: "Young girls love beauty, you better sit back in the carriage." Carefully tanned. Your father and mother are going to blame me. ”

"It turns out that adults don't really care about me, but they are just worried that my father and mother will complain."

Xiaoyan pouted.

Fang Sheng smiled: "As your uncle, of course, I really care about you." ”

"What if I don't recognize you as an uncle?" Xiaoyan's eyes flashed with something shiny, and Fang Sheng turned his face away and stopped talking.

Leng Xiaoyan saw that he ignored him, so he didn't make a fuss and rode a horse and followed the large army slowly.

After walking for a while, Leng Xiaoyan suddenly snorted, shook it, and reached out to press his forehead, looking very uncomfortable.

"What's wrong? Could it be heat stroke? ”

It's a June day, and I'm running all the way, and I'm very likely to get heat stroke.

Fang Sheng could only stop, pull the reins of Xiaoyan's horse, and help Xiaoyan dismount.

Leng Xiaoyan's whole body hung softly on Fang Sheng's body, and muttered in his mouth: "My head hurts, it's so uncomfortable." Maybe it's really heat stroke. ”

Saying that the whole person slid down, Fang Sheng was anxious, thinking that he was always her elder, so he directly picked her up sideways and walked to the carriage.

Putting Leng Xiaoyan into the carriage, Fang Sheng was just about to turn around and call her maid over, when she was suddenly hugged by a pair of arms.

"I don't want you to be my uncle."

Leng Xiaoyan wrapped his hands tightly around his waist, and his chin rested against his shoulder. The whole person was tightly attached to him, and his back could feel the undulating curves of her body.

Fang Sheng's body paused: "Let go." ”

"No, there will be no chance when you return to the capital, you will always avoid me, I instigated those female officials to go to your house to block you, and they were all driven away by you, what the hell are you ...... Is there me in my heart or not? ”

"I'm your uncle."

"What kind of uncle is it, he has no blood relationship with me, but my father and you have known each other for a long time."

"Xiaoyan, you are a child raised by my sister herself, there is no difference between her and Shu'er in her heart, we are promiscuous."

"Niangniang's mother is the world's people, and the subjects of the world are all Niangniang's people, is this the chaos in the world?"

Leng Xiaoyan was forceful, and hugged him tightly and didn't let go.

"My lord, how's that?"

At this moment, the voice of the waitress was heard outside the carriage.

"Nothing."

Leng Xiaoyan let go of Fang Sheng, and when she saw that the latter was about to get up and jump off, she hurriedly stopped in front of the carriage door, stretched out her hands, and didn't let it go at all.

"Xiaoyan!"

Fang Sheng didn't know what to say.

Leng Xiaoyan has been extremely bold since he was a child, so he simply threw himself forward, the landlord grabbed Fangsheng's neck, put his whole face on it, and said in his mouth: "I don't believe it, I don't believe that you have really been ruthless to me all these years." (To be continued.) )
