"Miss, what should we do now?" Yi Jin had never seen so many fierce people surrounding her with weapons, and she was a little nervous for a while and asked Gu Muyan what to do.

The soldiers surrounding Gu Muyan seemed to think that Yi Jin and her were not a threat, so they put away their weapons and looked at the two women in front of them suspiciously.

"Quick, go and tell the general, just say that the general's mansion has broken into the female flower thief!" The leading soldier said righteously.

These words made Gu Muyan's ears red, and while secretly scolding the soldier who spoke in his heart for being a donkey, he was thinking about how to explain this matter to Cheng Qi for a while.

As soon as the leading soldier spoke, the other soldiers around him even had to go along and tell Cheng Wei, which made Gu Muyan feel more and more speechless.

"Yi Jin! You don't even know where Big Brother Cheng is, will you bring me here? Gu Muyan gritted his teeth and asked Yi Jin in a low voice.

Yi Jin in front of him was guarding against the rudeness of the soldiers in the General's Mansion, and replied with some guilt: "I confused the map of the General's Mansion with the Prime Minister's Mansion, the general's courtyard should be next door, and they said that they would go back and pay their respects and should come soon." ”

"After you go back, I'll punish you for not having a snack for three days!" Gu Muyan stomped his feet shyly and hugged Yi Jin tightly.

At this time, Yi Jin was obviously anxious, staring at his eyes, and the whole person was stunned: "Don't, Miss!" I didn't mean to! ”

said that it was too late, and Yi Jin was just a lax, so the soldiers around him surrounded him and restrained Yi Jin.

Just when Gu Muyan was about to be exposed, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Gu Muyan and hugged her tightly in her arms.

"Stand down, it's all right." Cheng Qi put his arm around Gu Muyan with one hand, and waved his other hand and commanded.

"Huh? Be! Checkmate! ”

Those soldiers realized it later, and when they saw that the general had been holding Gu Muyan for a long time, they finally reacted, and hurriedly let go of Yi Jin and retreated.

"Ah Yan, they're all gone, it's okay." Cheng Qi patted Gu Muyan's back, and the faint fragrance of his hair wafted into his nose, just like when they first met.

The little man in his arms was soft and glutinous, which made Cheng Qi's hand tighten unconsciously.

"General, everyone is gone, why are you still holding my young lady?" Yi Jin asked suspiciously, frowning on the side, looking a little disgusted.

"Ahem!"

Gu Muyan and Cheng Qi coughed at the same time, and hurriedly let go of each other.

"Yi Jin, what nonsense are you talking about! It's not because of you, I didn't have a snack for five days back! Gu Muyan stomped his foot slightly, bit his lip and said.

"Why is it because of me, it's not that Miss You want to be a general." Yi Jin muttered aggrievedly.

Because the voice was too small, Gu Muyan didn't hear it at all, but Cheng Qi really heard it, and his eyes became softer and softer, and the whole person seemed to be about to fall in.

"Is there anything important that Ah Yan is so late?" Cheng Qi lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at Gu Muyan, the blush on his face was hidden well because of the night, and he was not seen by Gu Muyan.

"Brother Cheng, I, I actually want to go to a courtyard in the city." Gu Muyan took a breath of relief, things have come to this point, and they can only have a showdown with Cheng Qi.

"What are you doing in the other courtyard so late? Where's the other courtyard? Cheng Qi stepped forward slightly, looked at Gu Muyan worriedly and asked.

It just so happened that when Gu Muyan looked up, he saw Cheng Qi's worried eyes looking straight at him, and hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "Go see my father's younger brother, Gu Yuan, I have something to discuss with him." ”

"It turns out that this rumor is true, then I'll send you over to protect you." Cheng Qi nodded and asked Gu Muyan.

Seeing that Gu Muyan agreed, he asked Yi Jin to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first.

Then Cheng Qi took out two veils from his sleeves to hide his face, handed them to Gu Muyan and said, "You should not want to be discovered when you come out at night, bring this with you, so that no one will recognize it." ”

"Okay." Gu Muyan nodded and put the veil on.

Cheng Qi hesitated, swallowed a mouthful of saliva a little nervously, and said: "You can't ride a horse at night, I'll take you over, hold on to me." ”

"Okay, thank you, Big Brother Cheng." Gu Muyan was also a little shy, but in the next moment, he blamed all this on the fact that the two of them were in the same courtyard now, and there was no one else beside them.

When Cheng Qi hugged Gu Muyan and jumped in the direction Gu Muyan pointed out, Gu Muyan felt for the first time that his heartbeat could be so flustered.

"Is this the yard?" Cheng Qi asked softly.

But Gu Muyan didn't seem to hear it, he looked at Cheng Qi's face in the moonlight, and the moment he looked over at himself, it seemed that he could see the galaxy from his eyes.

"Ah Yan?" Cheng Qi looked at Gu Muyan and was a little stunned, so he shook his hand in front of her eyes.

"Huh? Well. Gu Muyan hurriedly glanced to the side and looked around at the courtyard, just like Gu Yuan said in his previous letter, there was a bamboo forest, there were wild chrysanthemums, and there were things that grandmother liked everywhere.

"Yuanheng?" Gu Muyan shouted at the dark courtyard.

As soon as the voice fell, the room next to him lit up, and a man opened the door with the light on his back, and walked out slowly.

"Miss Gu, is it?" Gu Yuan put his hands behind his back and asked Gu Muyan with a clear expression.

"Looks like an uncle." Gu Muyan heard the voice, let down his guard and approached Gu Yuandao.

But Gu Yuan still said without a tone: "You are my eldest brother's daughter-in-law?" Which letters did you send from? ”

"If it weren't for me, why would you be here?" Gu Muyan spread his hands and asked rhetorically, not falling behind at all.

It's just that Gu Yuan took a step back and asked coldly: "The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, what is your purpose, I don't believe that you are really just for my mother's good!" ”

"Uncle is really the same as what my grandmother said, there is nothing in the letter, but this person is also a little anxious! It's not too late to finish speaking, isn't it? Gu Muyan covered his mouth and chuckled.

Who knew that Gu Yuan would set his eyes on Cheng Qi the next moment, frowned and said unhappily: "If you don't have any other purpose, then why did you bring Gu Hao's people here?" ”

"Is my uncle talking about being a big brother?" Gu Muyan glanced at Cheng Qi beside him and asked, seeing that although Gu Yuan didn't speak again, he didn't deny it.

Gu Muyan wanted Cheng Qi to explain, but who expected Cheng Qi to shake the saber on his waist and said: "General Ben is loyal to this world, and the prime minister doesn't have such a big face. ”

"General?" When Gu Yuan heard that Cheng Qi claimed to be a general, his tone immediately changed.

"Uncle, let's talk about business, this is Cheng Qicheng, my grandfather's apprentice, it won't be anything, you can rest assured." Gu Muyan nodded heavily and explained.

"Oh, come in, please." Gu Yuan immediately stepped aside, gave up his position and invited Gu Muyan and Cheng Qi to enter.

After a few people sat down, Gu Muyan said, "This should be what my uncle prepared for my grandmother, right?" ”

"How do you know that I've never told anyone about it!" Gu Yuan asked suspiciously, even the people close to his family didn't know why they wanted to leave the best yard in every house to plant bamboo and wild chrysanthemums.

"Grandmother likes green bamboo and wild chrysanthemum, but ordinary people only take one of them and breed it in the yard, but my uncle's yard is to raise the two plants together, if it weren't for my grandmother, Yan'er can't think of any other reason." Gu Muyan smiled and said.

"It seems that my mother really likes you, tell me, what is the purpose of letting me say those words at the door today?" Gu Yuan didn't go around the bend, and asked directly.

Originally, Gu Muyan was about to say: "In order to let my grandmother know what kind of person Gu Hao is, so that I can give up, the Prime Minister's Mansion is too dangerous, I don't want my grandmother to continue to stay there, if I can, I hope my uncle will take good care of my grandmother, and I will often come to visit my grandmother." ”

"Mother, can mother agree?" Gu Yuan sat up straight, looked at Gu Muyan and asked cautiously.

Seeing Gu Yuan like this, Gu Muyan was also determined, Gu Yuan really took his grandmother to heart as in his previous life, so he nodded reassuringly: "Grandmother agreed, but you still have to plan carefully, otherwise you will inevitably fall into the mouth of the tongue in this capital." ”

"Yes, my niece is right!" At this time, Gu Yuan still had the appearance of being vigilant just now, and he clearly believed Gu Muyan completely.

Gu Muyan sighed softly with a smile on his face, and then asked, "If it's convenient for uncle, how did you cut off the relationship with my father in the first place, can you tell me?" ”

"It's a long story..."Gu Yuan's thoughts gradually drifted away with the words Gu Muyan asked.

At that time, Gu Hao was lucky to take the exam all the way, but he Gu Yuan was not so lucky, although he passed the township test, but he couldn't go up, fortunately, he was still interested in arithmetic and business, so the two brothers went to Beijing to catch the exam, and the other went out to work hard.

When Gu Yuan came back with some achievements, Gu Hao had already been admitted to the top prize, Gu Hao was not the prime minister of the dynasty at that time, but at that time, Gu Hao's ambition no longer allowed him to have a younger brother who was a businessman.

So Gu Hao exchanged the future of the family, and the exchange condition was that the clan would expel Gu Yuan from the family tree, so that he would not have a younger brother who was in business.

But the Gao family did not agree, and threatened with his name, if the Gao family was really forced to die at that time, it was difficult to guarantee that no one would join Gu Hao in the court, saying that he was not filial.

So in the end, I thought of a compromise method, that is, let the second uncle's family take Gu Yuan away, and the clan will erase this trace, so that as long as the people in the clan keep it secret, no one will know.
