"My surname is Guo, my name is Xintong, it just so happens that you came early, there is no one in the garden, I will take you around."

Hearing this, Shen Tianshu immediately knew the identity of the other party.

The host of today's banquet is the Guo family.

The Guo family was originally a side branch of the Guo family in Yingtianfu, and it has been nearly 100 years since they moved to Lingling County, Yongzhou Prefecture, and now they have developed into a big family with four halls and 37 rooms, and they are the richest people in Yongzhou.

It is rumored that the Guo family "cultivated 2,000 cattle and 800 slaves", known as Guo Bancheng.

Guo Ningxin, the old lady of the Guo family, is very old, and although he still occupies the position of the head of the family, all the affairs of the family have been handed over to the eldest son Guo Xiangming to take care of.

And this Guo Xintong is Guo Xiangming's old daughter, and she is the only daughter of the Guo family in this generation, with countless uncles and brothers in the family, which can be said to be a collection of thousands of favors.

It's just that Shen Tianshu has been searching in his mind for a long time, and he has no memory of his friendship with the daughter of the Guo family.

Although Guo Xintong looked very arrogant and dressed as a boy, he was very good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw a confused look flashing in Shen Tianshu's eyes, he immediately explained: "You and I have indeed never met before, but I have heard about Miss Shen's courage to save her younger sister, and I admire it very much, so I came here today." So just now I heard someone report that Miss Shen had arrived, so I hurried out. ”

As soon as she spoke, she was very crisp and showed her personality undoubtedly.

Shen Yunyao and Shen Yunhui were robbed, although Shen Zhonglei has worked hard to reduce the impact, it is impossible to hide it from the leakage, after all, there are really many people who know the news.

It's just that the vast majority of people, even if they know, will only pass it around behind their backs, and they will definitely not mention it in person.

"Then there is Young Master Lao Guo!" Shen Tianshu made a joke and bowed slightly.

Guo Xintong also returned a manly salute to Shen Tianshu, and also dragged the joke to read: "Miss Shen is polite!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Guo Xintong stroked his palm and said: "Miss Shen is really a wonderful person, I really regret that I used to hide far away as soon as I arrived at the banquet, otherwise we would have known each other a long time ago." ”

"I think it's just right." Shen Tianshu followed Guo Xintong to the garden and said, "For me, as long as it's a good thing, it's never too late, and when you meet it, it's the best time." ”

"That's a great thing to say!" Guo Xintong's eyes lit up when he heard this, "It's really in my heart, but it's a pity that I don't have much knowledge and can't say such things." ”

The two of them walked all the way to the garden, and Shen Tianshu really felt the financial resources of "Guo Bancheng".

Someone should have dug a hot spring from the mountain, so the Guo family simply bought the mountain and built such a garden.

According to Guo Xintong, it took three years from the excavation of the hot spring to the completion of the Zhuangzi.

When it's cold, hot spring water passes under each room to keep the room warm like spring. Each room also has its own pool for bathing.

In addition, by using the hot spring water to warm up the corridor of the room, you can enjoy flowers all year round, and many flowers that originally bloom only once in one season can bloom in summer and winter in one year.

Even the back garden is carved out of stone canals in inconspicuous places, allowing the hot spring water to pass through, making the inside of the Zhuangzi much warmer than the outside, no wonder Guo Xintong only wore a handsome man's clothes just now, and even came out without adding a cloak or a big hat.

In the garden, there was no cold feeling of the southern winter at all, and after the two of them only walked around for a while, Shen Tianshu was a little sweaty, so he also took off his cloak.

"How's it going, isn't it great here?" Guo Xintong said as if offering a treasure, "I will live here this winter, and you will come to play with me when you are free." ”

"Is that true? I'm really coming. ”

"Come on! When the time comes, only the two of us will be able to soak in the hot springs without disturbing us. ”

The two of them walked around the garden until their foreheads were sweating before returning to the flower hall where they received guests.

The flower hall also leads the hot spring water inside, warm as spring, and the fragrance of flowers is pungent when you open the door.

Shen Tianshu was about to enter, but Guo Xintong suddenly stopped and frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Guo Xintong was stunned for a moment, looked a little flustered and said: "It's okay, you go in first, I suddenly remembered that there is something to deal with, I have to deal with it first." ”

"Something isn't quite right with your face, are you really okay?" Shen Tianshu asked with concern, "Call two subordinates to accompany you!" ”

"Okay, you're having fun today." Guo Xintong said, as if he was being pushed by something behind, and left the flower hall quickly.

Shen Tianshu and Guo Xintong met for the first time today, although they had a good conversation just now, it was not easy to ask about other people's private matters.

But after most of the banquet, Guo Xintong still didn't see him.

When he was about to say goodbye, seeing that the guests were almost gone, Shen Tianshu couldn't help but ask Mrs. Guo: "I don't know why Xintong hasn't appeared today, but she is unwell?" ”

As soon as Mrs. Guo heard this, her eyes first subconsciously looked left and right, and when she saw that there was no one around, she whispered to Shen Tianshu with some embarrassment: "That child came to Kwai Shui today, so she can only go back to the room to rest, she didn't expect it to be suddenly advanced, and said that I will sue you for her, and I can only wait for the next year to invite you to come to Zhuangzi to play." ”

"Can I go see Xintong?" Shen Tianshu couldn't help but be a little embarrassed after speaking, "This request may be too abrupt, if it is inconvenient, I hope Mrs. Guo will not be surprised." ”

Guo Xintong grew up behind a group of uncles and brothers since he was a child, and he has always been a boy.

Mrs. Guo also had a headache about this before, but the old lady of the Guo family spoke and asked no one in the family to detain her, so she had to give up.

So now that Guo Xintong actually took the initiative to associate with Shen Tianshu, he still had a bit of a posture of being familiar at first sight, which really made Mrs. Guo happy, for fear that Shen Tianshu would feel that he was neglecting.

"I'm really sorry, Tong'er, this kid, every time I come to Kwai Shui, I feel very uncomfortable, but I'm afraid of bumping into Miss Shen." Guo said, "Otherwise, I'll send someone to take a look." ”

After a while, the servant came back and said, "Madam, the girl said to invite Miss Shen over." ”

When Mrs. Guo heard this, her expression was very surprised, and she personally took Shen Tianshu to the backyard.

The backyard is closed to guests, and the grass and trees inside are more delicate than the outside.

The room was hotter than the other rooms, and after entering the house, he passed through two thick curtains, and finally arrived at Guo Xintong's bedroom.

After only a few steps into the house, Shen Tianshu's forehead was already sweating.

I saw Guo Xintong leaning on the head of the bed, looking a little dazed.

When Guo Xintong saw Shen Tianshu, he smiled reluctantly, but he spoke upside down, and couldn't even speak: "What's wrong with you?" ”
