Speaking of the identity of the dumb aunt, Gu Ruixing can hide it from anyone, but he can't hide it from Zhou Boyan. Not to mention personal relationships, people are found when he is on an errand, and if he wants to take people away, he must always give the first one an explanation that it is not.

The dumb aunt's name is Shen Yuehua, and she is the granddaughter of Gu Ruixing's mother-in-law's second brother's family, that is, the granddaughter of Shen Wannian in the door.

Three years ago, fifteen-year-old Shen Yuehua was recognized as the first beauty in Beijing. At present, there are rumors that the Son of Heaven intends to accept him as a concubine. Some people also said that there were rumors in the palace that the Son of Heaven intended to point her to a certain prince as a concubine. At that time, only the eldest prince and the second prince reached the age of marriage. And the third prince is only a few months older than her, and it is unlikely that he will marry a concubine.

When this kind of unverifiable and plausible rumor spread more and more widely in the backyard of the ministers of the DPRK and China, suddenly one day, the Queen Mother summoned Shen Wannian's wife. The person in charge of delivering the message was the celebrity who was waiting around the Queen Mother, and this celebrity hinted that Shen Wannian's wife wanted to bring Shen Yuehua into the palace.

The Queen Mother saw Shen Yuehua, who entered the palace with Mrs. Shen, and praised Shen Yuehua for being virtuous, beautiful and dignified. Then, the Queen Mother changed the topic and mentioned one or two things about the eldest prince and the second prince openly and implicitly.

At the same time, the matter of establishing a prince was being discussed in the court.

For the courtiers who have been immersed in officialdom for many years, this is a signal. Some people believe that Shen Yuehua is undoubtedly the crown princess candidate approved by the royal family. Which prince Shen Yuehua gave marriage to, which prince will be the new crown prince is undoubted. Although the three princes were born to Empress Zhong, for various reasons, Empress Zhong was not favored by the saints, and the three princes were not favored. The other princes were still young, and their mothers had little power, so it was unlikely that they would be made crown princes. In fact, the candidate for the crown prince is two first, either the eldest prince or the second prince.

At such a sensitive time, Shen Yuehua had a serious illness. It took more than a month of recuperation before her condition improved and she was able to get out of bed and walk around.

At the same time, the matter of establishing the crown prince was not resolved, and no one mentioned it again. The rumors that Shen Yuehua might become the princess also faded.

Shen Yuehua recovered, and Mrs. Shen felt that this was the result of the blessing of the Buddha. So, Mrs. Shen led her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha. The accident happened during this trip to burn incense and worship the Buddha. Shen Yuehua disappeared, and her four maids and a mother-in-law were killed in the side room where the pilgrims were resting.

Shen Wannian Shen Shizhong was anxious and angry, although this matter was publicized and had a bad reputation for his granddaughter Shen Yuehua, but if he did not publicize it, he would miss the opportunity to save his granddaughter. On that day, the whole capital was full of officers and soldiers searching for people everywhere, looking for people, and there were also fast arresters looking for clues. Coupled with their own people sent by the Shen family, the soldiers of the Gu General's Mansion, etc., everyone looked for Shen Yuehua's whereabouts everywhere. To exaggerate a little, in order to find Shen Yuehua, the capital was almost turned upside down.

The strange thing is that after such a toss, I didn't get any relevant news, let alone find someone.

Things have changed, and now that three years have passed, the missing Shen Yuehua appeared without warning, appeared in such an inconspicuous small place as Kangxi Town, and was rescued by Gu Ruixing, who was on an errand. Gu Ruixing was pleasantly surprised to find Shen Yuehua, and at the same time extremely worried.

A lot can happen in three years, and he doesn't know what Shen Yuehua has experienced. But he knew that if Shen Yuehua could return to Beijing, he would definitely never be able to go back to his former life, and he would face endless rumors.

What Gu Ruixing said when he settled Shen Yuehua can be said to be half-true. The real part is that he will indeed repair a letter and return to Beijing to report safety to the Shen family. The fake part is that Shen Yuehua will not temporarily stay in the ancient mansion for a few days, but will live for a month or more. Because he wasn't sure if the Shen family would pick up this daughter.

In the big family, although he has never seen the trade-offs made after weighing the pros and cons, he has heard a lot. The Shen family is different from their ancient family. Their ancient family is a military general, there are not so many rules, there are relatively few taboos, domineering, protecting shortcomings and not putting reputation in the first place. And the Shen family is flourishing, and its children are either civil servants or literati, rules are heaven, reputation is heaven, there are too many exquisiteness, and there are many internal disputes.

So he was very worried, he wasn't sure if such a Shen family would accept Shen Yuehua at this moment. What if the Shen family abandoned Shen Yuehua? What if the Shen family sent Shen Yuehua to a Zhuangzi casually and left him to fend for himself?

There are many men in the Gu family, and his mother has always loved Shen Yuehua very much. Therefore, Shen Yuehua before his disappearance was a frequent visitor to their ancient mansion. In this way, although he is a cousin in terms of seniority, he has loved Shen Yuehua as his sister since he was a child. Because of this, he will worry about Shen Yuehua's future.

Zhou Boyan patted Gu Ruixing's shoulder, "It's you who are too worried." Don't talk about other people, just say that they are fathers and mothers, who doesn't feel sorry for their children! The children have suffered a catastrophe, and now they can come back alive, and the joy of being a father and mother will only protect their children wholeheartedly. ”

Gu Ruixing said with a sad face, "That's because you don't know the Shen family's style. Why don't you want to go back to your mother's house? It's not that I'm afraid of the Shen family's side of the rules and reputation regardless of flesh and blood. His mother often muttered that being able to marry his father was the luckiest thing in her life, and she was so lucky not to have to live by those rules.

Seeing that he was worried about this, Zhou Boyan thought for a while and asked, "The letter to report safety, are you going to write it to Shen Shizhong or ......?"

Gu Ruixing replied smoothly, "Naturally, I want to write to Shen Shizhong." "That is, his second uncle.

Hearing this, Zhou Boyan reminded him, "You have to write two more letters." One for your mother, and one for your mother to personally transfer to Shen Yuehua's father. "At least these three are really worried about Shen Yuehua. If they try their best, Shen Yuehua's future chances should not be too bad.

He knew it very well. In the big family, if the daughter loses her innocence, most of them cover it and hastily marry the daughter or send her to be a sister-in-law. What's more, he will quietly erase his daughter who has lost his innocence, just to save the face of the family. In terms of Shen Yuehua's appearance, he was captured for three years, and his innocence is difficult to guarantee. Even if she retains her innocence, people are terrible, people don't think about reality, they only believe what they believe.

Hearing this, Gu Ruixing's mouth suddenly opened, "Why didn't I think of it?" Why didn't I think of that? ”

Zhou Boyan didn't want to pour cold water on him, but there were some things that had to be said, "Find a time, talk to your cousin and niece, and listen to her thoughts." There is also something about the second master, what does she know, you have to ask. Private feelings must be taken care of, and official affairs cannot be left behind. ”

The two of them said a few more words, and Gu Ruixing went back to rest.

Zhou Boyan didn't rest, took out the two booklets he got tonight, and sat under the oil lamp and slowly flipped through them. Although Bai Yizhi's personality is a little weird, and his style of acting is a little weird, his extraordinary interrogation ability is unmatched. The words on the booklet are all confessions written by the "second master", that is, Zhong Li himself. Moreover, there is a bright red fingerprint on each page. In other words, Bai Yizhi asked Zhong Li to draw a charge on every page of the confession.

He finished reading one booklet, and then turned to a second booklet. The content is the same as the previous volume, very good. He would turn in one booklet, and the other he would keep in his hand for his use. That's why he asked for two confessions.

At dawn, Zhou Boyan, who had closed his eyes for less than an hour, got up. He looked in the direction of the capital from afar, and silently thought in his heart: Wait, this son will go back. My son will stir up the waters of you, and stir them up even more, and stir up the waves. In this way, let those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods surface, expose them to people, and make it difficult for them to set off any storms.

Gu Shishi yawned and brought the washing water, "Childe, it's time for you to wash." ”

Zhou Boyan simply freshened up and had breakfast with the officers and soldiers. For breakfast, it was bean paste buns, steamed buns, bud grain porridge, white rice porridge and pickles, which were bought from the flavor snack shop.

After breakfast, Zhou Boyan prepared to go back to the ancient mansion to catch up on sleep.

On the way, Gu Shishi had nothing to say in order to drive away the sleepy insects, "Childe, how did you meet Peach Blossom Boy?" He had been curious about this question for several years, but he had never been able to find an answer.

Zhou Boyan said expressionlessly, "You still dare to call him a peach blossom boy?" Beware of being heard by him and plucking out your tongue. ”

These words made Gu Shishi excited, and the sleepy insect immediately ran away. He looked to the left and right in fear, looking for someone suspicious. After making sure that the peach blossom boy did not appear, he was obviously relieved, "But the childe, the little one doesn't know who his surname is, only that he prefers peach blossoms, and he is dressed like that, what else can the little one shout except call him Peach Blossom Boy?" Otherwise, you can sue the small one. The next time you meet, what should you call the small one? ”

"For the sake of your little life, you still don't know who he is."

Gu Shishi immediately ran out of words. Indeed, the Peach Blossom Boy is very scary and weird, and the method of extorting a confession is called a bloodless pervert, and that is called a shock. After he saw it once, he had nightmares for two nights in a row, it was terrible. He can torture people to death without seeing blood, and before he met Peach Blossom Boy, he didn't believe that there would be such a thing in the world.

After entering the ancient mansion, Zhou Boyan first went to the small courtyard where Qingshu's sister and brother lived. He saw that Qingyang and them were doing well, and Hao's face was much better, and he was a lot more relieved. As long as these few are doing well, his Ashu will be doing well. He looked at Ah Shu, who was busy going in and out, and he didn't want to move the place.

Qing Shu seemed to be aware of it, and after processing the herbs sent by Dr. Zhou, he walked over and looked at him a few times, "Didn't you rest well last night?" ”

Zhou Boyan smiled, "Hmm." ”

She asked again, "Still going out?" ”

"No, it's okay today." Zhong Li's matter has been resolved, and it will be much more peaceful recently. Otherwise, how could he sit here in peace!

"Then go back and rest. It just so happens that Qingyang and they are going to the school, so you go with them. ”

"Okay." He agreed with kindness.

She glanced at him twice, turned her face and shouted to Qingyang, "Xiaoyang, don't hide the red fruit in your schoolbag." What if it is crushed and dirty? Okay, don't bother, you guys, hurry to the school. ”

Qingyang came out of the house with a bulging schoolbag on his back, walked up to Qingshu and broke open the opening of the schoolbag, "Sister, you see, I only brought one, and I want to give it to Brother Yan." The rest is all left to Hao, and he will be replenished. ”

"Just one? Okay, you can take it and eat it, as for your brother's share, my sister will send it later. Qing Shu's arrangements were made, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chen Qiaojiang who was secretly moving out of his schoolbag. She said angrily, "Qiao Jiang, come here." ”

Knowing that he had been discovered, Chen Qiaojiang grimaced, but he had to come over obediently.

Qing Shu rummaged through his bulging schoolbag and took out two red fruits, "One person can only bring one, go!" Don't be late. ”

Luo Xiaorong was more obedient, and took the initiative to break open the schoolbag and said that he did not steal red fruits.

Qing Shu praised him, and stuffed the one in his hand to him, "No, one for each person." Turning her face, she stuffed the other one she grabbed in her hand to Zhou Boyan, "Newly picked this morning, taste this year's red fruit." I'll make you soup at noon. ”

Zhou Boyan only had time to say hello, and was pulled away by Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong left and right.

Hao stood at the door and watched them.

Qing Shu walked over, "Don't worry. Dr. Zhou said that you will be able to go to the school the day after tomorrow. Let's go, my sister will teach you a fun one. ”

It's just that the fun game hasn't had time to teach Hao, and the word came ahead, and there were guests.

Qing Shu changed her clothes and only took Xiaojuan to meet the guests.

Step five, step flying, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and it's still the same. Naturally, he was wearing a crescent-colored outfit that he preferred. Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, angular facial features, long and thin figure, lacking the compelling momentum of a Bujia man as a martial artist, the whole person is handsome and elegant.

Qing Shu smiled in surprise, "It turned out to be the fifth brother." The messenger didn't make it clear, and I guessed who was here all the way. ”

Bu Wu smiled and glanced at Qing Shu a few times, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and my sister seems to have grown a little taller." ”

"Really? I like it most when people say I've grown taller, hehe......" Qingshu smiled unrestrainedly.

The two of them exchanged a few words of greeting and sat down separately.

"Fifth brother is here for the red fruit? Rest assured, the second batch of red fruits picked have been sent to Jinyang City yesterday. It is estimated that it will be delivered to the fifth brother's restaurant in the afternoon. ”

"My sister guessed wrong. The fifth brother came this time, not for the red fruit, but for the invitation. ”
