Gu Shi'an was surprised to meet the British Duke Zhang Changge here, the British Duke and the Duke of Qi are good friends, the Duke of Qi has taken him with him since he was a child, Gu Shi'an is naturally very familiar.

Gu Nian was because of the four princes behind the British duke, she thought that she would not have many chances to meet the four princes as a cabinet woman, but she didn't expect to meet again so soon.

Although the British Duke is an old man with gray hair, he is in good spirits, speaks and laughs freely, his eyebrows are straight, his eyebrows are long, and although the muscles of his face have been relaxed, the bridge of his nose and the bones of his face show the neatness of his master's youth.

Moreover, his eyes were bright and bright, and although the eyeballs were cloudy, the gaze was impossible to ignore.

Gu Nian suddenly remembered that he was Zhang Ying's grandfather, no wonder Gu Ci was so good with her, and the two families were world friends.

Gu Shi'an stepped forward to greet the British Duke and the Four Princes, and beckoned Gu Nian to come forward to meet the British Prince.

The British public said kindly to Gu Nian, "Ying'er has been spoiled by her family, if there is any rudeness, please bear with me." ”

Gu Nian hurriedly blessed his body, and said, "It's all a fight between girls, how can you take it to heart." ”

Britain smiled and nodded, and said a few more words to Gu Shi'an, and finally asked him to go around the house often, and it was best to bring Gu Nian.

Gu Nian listened quietly to the conversation between the two on the side, and the fourth prince stood not far away, standing there, although the distance was not close, Gu Nian could resolutely feel that his gaze was gloomy looking at him, squinting his eyes, and only bowed his head to Gu Shi'an from a distance, and did not come over.

The sun shone on the golden crown above his head, and the golden crown gave off a blinding light.

Gu Nian's cold hair stood on end, but she tried her best to stabilize her mind, and when Gu Shi'an finished talking with the British princess, she looked ahead, followed Gu Shi'an expressionlessly, and walked over.

After walking a long distance, she seemed to be able to feel the two gazes of the four princes, always falling on her back.

The fourth prince stared at the figure in front of him and disappeared around the corner, and his brows twisted slightly.

Previously, Gu Nian exposed the three liars on the street, and he saw it from beginning to end, but he didn't expect that the daughter of Commander Gu was not only beautiful in life, but also had a clear and orderly mind, and it seemed that the relationship between the father and daughter was also very good.

It would be great if you could really take it.

"You have already married a wife, Shi'an will not give your daughter as a concubine. Besides, the seniority is not right. The voice of the British Duke suddenly sounded behind him.

The fourth prince raised his eyebrows and was silent.

"Wait until the future, what kind of woman do you have, besides, he is very trusted by the emperor now, and there are many ways to win him over, so he doesn't have to be an in-law." The British Duke is still persuading.

The fourth prince showed a hint of a smile, "Thank you uncle for your advice, a few adults are waiting to see us in the wing room over there." ”

The British Duke nodded, and finally glanced at the direction in which Gu Shi'an disappeared, the smile on his lips gradually disappeared, and he sighed in his heart, "Lisheng, have you seen it?" In a blink of an eye, I have already had a child, and he also has a child. ”

After the four princes returned from Izumo Temple, they did not go back to the palace, but went to the palace, and as soon as they arrived at the palace gate, they met Xiao Yue and the five princes talking.

Xiao Yue had just finished discussing government affairs with Emperor Yongping, and when he left the palace, he saw a plate of unused snacks on Emperor Yongping's table, so he stretched out his hand and took it away.

Emperor Yongping is used to his behavior, from childhood to adulthood, this child's temper has not changed, it is crazy to go straight, and his face is thicker than the city wall, the emperor's things are good, and he will not suffer if he takes it.

Xiao Yue walked on the palace road with a plate of dim sum, and he didn't care about the strange glances coming and going, but when he twisted a piece of dim sum into his mouth, he suddenly lost his appetite, and today's dim sum was sweet.

He was about to throw it to the entourage behind him, but he didn't expect the fifth prince to come head-on.

The fifth prince and the fourth prince were both born to Concubine Cheng Guifei, and when she saw Xiao Yue, she smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said to Xiao Yue,

"Xiao Jiu grabbed food from his father again, I said, what is wrong with you? How many years have it not changed, and you like to rob people and things? If you really like it, it is better to let your father reward you with the cook. ”

Xiao Yue raised his chin, put his hands behind his back, and said slowly, "I like it very much, do you want to taste it?" ”

The undisguised mockery in Xiao Yue's eyes made the fifth prince dumb suddenly, accepting it or not, and he was slightly annoyed.

Xiao Yue sneered and said to the fifth prince,

"This is a reward from the imperial uncle, the fifth child, you won't refuse, right?" After saying that, he sent the plate forward.

The fifth prince took a deep breath, reached out and took a bite of a piece of snack, tasting the same wax, seeing Xiao Yue's appearance that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he was so aggrieved that he had nowhere to vent his anger.

The fourth prince walked up to the two of them and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

When the fifth prince saw the fourth prince coming, he laughed, and put the piece of pastry in his hand into the hands of the fourth prince.

"Xiao Jiu snatched a plate of dim sum from his father and said that he would share it with us, Brother Huang, you can eat and see."

Xiao Yue was not in the mood to be in a false relationship with the brothers, nodded and left, and the five princes behind him looked at his departing back with resentment in their eyes.

"Brother Huang, if you have a dog, but that dog is a vicious dog, wild and difficult to train, even the master dares to bite, what should I do?"

The fourth prince's eyes were deep, and he said half-loudly, "It depends on the time to beat the dog." ”

After Xiao Yue left, he threw the plate of dim sum into the hands of his entourage, and said with disgust, "Put it away, don't let people eat it." ”

"Don't let people eat it" means that it will be poured directly to the dog to eat, this is not something that people eat, it is clearly scolding the two princes as dogs, and what has been touched by a dog is naturally not edible.

When Xiao Yue returned to the Jin Palace, he saw Mama An beside the concubine Ji standing at the Hanging Flower Gate waiting for him.

When Mama An saw Xiao Yue, she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "The concubine ordered the old slave to wait for the prince here, and asked the prince to come back and go to the concubine to discuss something." ”

Xiao Yue's eyes suddenly felt a little impatient, and he was silent, but he still followed Mama An to Ji's place.

When I arrived at the concubine's courtyard, Mama An reported at the door, "Concubine, the prince is here." ”

"Ask him to come in."

As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Yue saw the group of boudoir women around Ji's side, all of them surrounded by pearls and jade, gorgeously dressed, and their every move was rich and graceful.

Ji was originally smiling, but when he saw Xiao Yue coming in, the smile on his face suddenly converged, and he said lightly,

"You're back."

Xiao Yue stepped forward and saluted, "Mother." ”

The habitual disgust welled up in Ji's heart, she secretly took a breath to calm down, and said lightly, "I called you over today to let you get to know your cousin, and take good care of her in the future." ”

Xiao Yue didn't look at those young women, and said, "Men and women don't sit at the same table at the age of seven, and my mother likes my cousin, so it's good to let my cousin accompany you more." ”

Ji sneered, "You know what I mean. ”

Xiao Yue lowered his eyes, and his voice became cold and hard, "I don't know what my mother meant, it's better for my mother to make it clear." ”

"Evil Barrier, is that how you talk to your mother?" Ji's family was a little embarrassed, this son didn't give her face at all, and let her lose such a big face in front of the juniors.

She called Xiao Yue over today, and she didn't think about setting such a big event, but Xiao Yue didn't think about it, so she refused, which made her angry.

It's really hard wings.

I knew that I should have drowned him in the toilet in the first place, and it was better than being angry with her half to death today.

"Xiao Yue, I know that you have an idea when you grow up, and you have the emperor's favor, it's one thing to disagree with my words, but you can't do it if you don't take me as a mother in your eyes."

"My son doesn't dare."

"Don't dare? What are you afraid of? Ji snorted coldly, "Since you don't want to, then I'll reward you with two maids, and I'll talk about this later." ”

Anyway, my niece lives in the house, and there is always a way for him to agree.

"Mother, you don't have to." Xiao Yue's voice suddenly became cold and hard, his eyes became deep, and he refused, "There are enough people waiting around me, you can keep it for yourself." ”

"Xiao Yue!" Ji screamed loudly.

Xiao Yue looked at her coldly, her thin lips curled, and she said with a smile, "Mother, there is a limit to my patience. ”

Over the years, Ji has thought of many ways to send the maid to Xiao Yue's yard, but it has never succeeded.

Those people were all thrown directly from the courtyard wall by Xiao Yue.

It was really thrown from the courtyard wall, those maids were delicate, and their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and some of them were broken bones, which was very pitiful.

At that time, the Ji family was also angry, so the Ji family stopped for a while, but he didn't expect it to sprout in a solid state now.

Ji's heart was blocked, she could barely breathe, she gritted her teeth, pressed the tumbling emotion, lowered her head to hide the disgust in her eyes,

"Okay, you go, that's the end of today's business, you go back and think about what I told you."

Out of the courtyard, Xiao Yue was momentarily dazed, and he showed a self-deprecating smile when he thought of Ji Shi locking him in a cage when he was a child.

He had tried to question him desperately many times, but in the end he suppressed the thought.

What about questioning?

It was impossible for him to swing his sword at his mother, Xiao Yue lowered his head, and the coldness hit, from the inside out, cold.

He wasn't in a good mood today, so he didn't want to make the other person happy.

He suddenly tapped his toes, and his entourage hurriedly said behind him, "Lord Wang, where are you going?" ”

He felt sorry for the prince, but he was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions and poke out the basket.

"Don't come along." Xiao Yue shouted loudly and jumped directly from the wall.

*

In Izumo Temple, after bidding farewell to the British princess, Gu Nian followed Gu Shi'an to the front hall, she pursed her lips and asked Gu Shi'an quietly, "Daddy, will the 'grandfather' that Mama Chen said last time be ......?"

Gu Shi settled down for a moment, shook his head and said, "Probably not, the British Duke and your grandfather have had a lifelong friendship, and he has always taken good care of me, if he really harbors evil intentions, it will be terrible." ”

Speaking of the relationship between the old Duke of Qi and the Duke of Britain, it goes back to many years ago, when the two were in the army together, once the Duke of Britain was injured and disappeared, and when he died frequently in the ice and snow, it was the Duke of Qi who found him and rescued him.

Since then, the Duke of Qi Laoguo has had a life-saving grace to the British Duke.

Later, King Rui rebelled, and the old Duke of Qi was involved, but it was the British Duke who spoke out desperately and saved the Duke of Qi.

The entanglement between the two became more and more, and the relationship became deeper.

However, Gu Nian had such a question, Gu Shi'an thought about it again, and still checked in the direction of the British duke.

In the end, the father and daughter did not listen to the Taoist priest and the monk's arguments, and the Taoist chief was said to have something to do and could not come, so the time for the discussion of the Dharma was postponed.

Although Gu Shi'an and Gu Nian regretted it, but the spring was good, and there were many things that could be done, the two simply ate a famous vegetarian meal at Izumo Temple, and then slowly went down the mountain and returned to the city.

I went out to get a good breath, and I was in a good mood all day, but when I went to bed at night, I saw the man who jumped in through the window, and she couldn't speak.

"You, you, you...... How did it come? "In the past, the Duke of Qi Mansion said that no one paid attention to her, so he could easily sneak in, but after separating it, his father still attached great importance to the safety of the mansion.

Why is he still coming in?

"What? Don't you welcome me? Xiao Yue looked at Gu Nian in an unkind tone, casually lifted the tent on one side, hung it on the copper hook, and then sat down on her bed.

Gu Nian was shocked, his feet moved out, his body slided, and he slipped under the bed in an instant.

It's just that one of her hands was tightly pulled by him, and she couldn't walk away, so she could only stand on the floor barefoot.

"Run, come here, don't stand on the ground, be careful of catching a cold." He spoke, there was no light in the room, hazy, and the man's low voice was indescribably sexy.

Before she could say anything, she was gently pulled hard by the hand that held her, and she was pulled to a stumbling back, and had to move forward, and her thighs suddenly pressed against his knees.

Xiao Yue stretched out his hand and hugged her whole, she reflexively raised her hand against his chest, and then he gently put her on the bed.

The midnight breeze blew the bed tent slightly, and the hair on his forehead fell down her face a little itchy because of leaning over.

After Xiao Yue put her down, he turned around and walked away, saying in his mouth, "Wait a while." ”

Gu Nian was completely shocked by him, he took a clean handkerchief from the changing rack, walked to the bed, and knelt down on one knee, she was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw the foot that was placed on the side of the bed, but he grabbed it in his hand one step faster.

"You stepped on the ground just now, and you can't let the maid in like this, so I can only wipe it for you."

Xiao Yue raised his head and said softly.

Gu Nianleng looked at him, not moved, but incredulous.

Who is he? He is Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue who the emperor regards as his own son, Xiao Yue who will kill people if he disagrees, and Xiao Yue who is high up.

Kneeling to the sky and kneeling to his parents, how can he ......

He held her feet in one hand and a handkerchief in the other, gently wiping the dust on her feet, with gentle and delicate movements, as if he was wiping a precious collection.

After he wiped it carefully, he put on the shoes that she had placed next to the bed and said, "I'm hungry." ”

Gu Nian, "......"

Should the painting style change so quickly, she glared at Xiao Yue, and suddenly said with a little collapse, "What does it matter to me that you are hungry?" ”

Is it because she is hungry that you come to climb her window?

He put the handkerchief in his hand back and said, "It's none of your business, it's because of you that you're angry." ”

Gu Nian looked at him inexplicably with his eyes open and talking nonsense, and really wanted to flatten him.

In the end, Gu Nian still opened the door, went to wake up the astragalus who was keeping vigil, and calmly ordered, "I'm hungry and want to eat supper, you go to the kitchen to see if there is anything you can eat." ”

Astragalus naturally knew about Xiao Yue's coming, and she was struggling in her heart, she was now the girl's maid, should she be loyal to the prince, or should she go in and drive the prince away immediately? Although she really can't beat the prince.

Seeing that Gu Nian said that she wanted to eat supper, she looked at her in a daze, and said stupidly, "Girl, didn't you say before you couldn't eat before you went to bed at night?" ”

Gu Nian was a little annoyed and angry, it wasn't that she wanted to eat, it was the killing god who had changed too quickly that her painting style was changing too quickly and wanted to eat, she said in shame, "Go quickly, what are you talking about." ”

The master has a life, and the cook has to get up to make supper even if she is asleep, and finally the astragalus brings a bowl of chicken noodle soup.

Even if Gu Nian knew that Astragalus was Xiao Yue's person, he didn't let her into the inner room, but went to get it in by himself, and then closed the door.

"You're going to have a bite to eat." Gu Nian said.

Xiao Yue picked up the chopsticks unceremoniously and nodded while eating, "It's really good, but I don't care." ”

Gu Nian just wanted to slap him to death!

"Lord Wang, next time, can you not climb into my room in the middle of the night without sleeping." Gu Nian gritted his teeth and said.

She is really afraid of being bumped into, and Gu Shi'an, if she is going to be discovered by her father, what is the matter?

Xiao Yue drank the last mouthful of soup, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then said, "If you feel at a loss, I can help you visit my house at night." ”

Who wants to go to his house, it's really shameless.

I saw him say again with a displeased face, "Don't you believe in my kung fu?" Those patrolling people in your house, I can solve them in three or two clicks. ”

Gu Nian almost wanted to kill him, but he couldn't make a loud noise, so he could only lower his voice, "You are the most invincible in the world, don't come again, it will be miserable to be discovered, if there is something, let someone send a message to Astragalus, we will see you during the day, okay?" ”

Xiao Yue felt that tonight was really worth the trip, so he said in a good mood, "Just listen to you, but I want to look for you, you can't help but come." ”

Gu Nian just wanted him to hurry up and chase flies, "Got it, got it." ”

"By the way, something came out of Mama Chen's mouth recently, and she said that the 'grandfather' who sent her to sneak into the Gu Mansion has six fingers on her left foot." Xiao Yue walked to the window and was about to jump out when he suddenly said.

Gu Nian stopped him in a lost voice, "You wait." ”

"Didn't you tell me to hurry up? I'm leaving, it's not good to tarnish your reputation. Xiao Yue said with a smile.

Gu Nian almost crooked his mouth in anger, he didn't smile, and said in a gentle voice, "Lord Wang, sit down and have a cup of tea?" ”

*

For her future life, how to live, Gu Nian thought a lot, she wanted to grow old safely, she didn't want to get married, but all this needed capital, she couldn't rely on her father and Xiao Yue for the rest of her life.

The father will be old, Xiao Yue will marry a wife, rely on the mountains and mountains, rely on everyone to run, and everything can only rely on himself.

On the second day, Gu Nian went to Gu Shi'an with a box.

"Daddy, I want to open a small tea shop in the capital, the shop doesn't need to be big, but there must be singing and storytelling. Can you give me a hand there? ”

Gu Shi'an smiled and said with a smile, "What, you still don't think your dowry is enough, do you want to save more?" ”

Gu Nian grinned at him and didn't answer.

Gu Shi'an thought that he had answered correctly, so he took the trouble to tell Gu Nian what he needed to do to open a shop in the capital.

Gu Nian naturally knew all about this, her previous days were not in vain, but Gu Shi'an was willing to teach her patiently, instead of blocking her, which made her feel at ease.

Gu Shi'an told Gu Nian what kind of tea in the tea shop needs to be bought by himself, and what kind of tea can be purchased in the tea house, what kind of people should be found for singing, and how should the guys be found, etc., and finally said that if the business of the tea shop is not good, it will need a lot of money to fill in.

Gu Nian didn't care about these, her mother's dowry, her father gave her a lot, the reason why she opened a tea shop, and it was not far from the yamen, was to come here to relax in the leisure time of those officials, and when they were idle, they inquired about the news in the court and understood the situation in the capital.

Of course, the officials do not sell vegetables in the vegetable market, and even if they drink tea and chat, they will not say anything.

What the tea shop can listen to is actually trivial things.

But what Gu Nian needs to know is these little things, there are Gu Shi'an and Xiao Yue in big things, and she mostly understands them.

She wants to live well in this life, and many times, a small thing can affect the process and even change the result.

In this life, she has a father who regards her as a pearl in the palm of her hand, and in the future, she wants to be able to live freely, even if she must get married, she will definitely find a husband who puts her on the tip of her heart, and she also has children around her knees, and children and grandchildren are full.

In fact, in her opinion, there is nothing wrong with a woman not marrying for the rest of her life, some women have a strong personality and do not need a man to dominate their lives, and they do not feel lonely when they live a lifetime alone.

However, in the current world, if you don't marry, you will be ridiculed by the world, you will be lonely for ten thousand years, no one will send you to the end of your old age, and no one will offer incense after death......

Actually, these are all farts, and cannibalistic etiquette is so harsh on women.

Therefore, she doesn't want to go on in the reincarnation of one life, she wants everything to end in this life.

If she gets married, she will ask her husband to take her to see the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the bright moon on the plug, she wants to live a good life, and when she dies, there will be a large group of filial sons and grandsons waiting to share her inheritance, instead of the ugly face of the enemy.

If she is not married, it doesn't matter, she has a lot of money, and she is unbridled and chic, and as for the person who inherits the incense for her and her father, she can always find it.

She wants to be happy, and she wants to make the people around her happy.

After the conversation between father and daughter, Gu Shi'an really gave Gu Nian an old and stable shopkeeper named Cui Yunshan.

She gave him the money and told him what she wanted, and she didn't care.

My father didn't say what he had done in those ten years, and she didn't ask.

If she needed to tell herself, she thought Gu Shi'an would definitely tell herself. Sometimes she doesn't have to get to the bottom of everything, and if her father can take care of everything, then she is happy and relaxed.

Since the last time Xiao Yue said that the 'grandfather' had six fingers on his left foot, he has not appeared, and she doesn't know how to investigate, after all, her feet are worn in shoes, and they don't look like hands, exposed outside.

Do you want her to open a bathhouse? But where would the nobles of the high-ranking families go to bathe in the bathhouse?

Gu Nian was really at a loss, she thought about it and told Gu Shi'an, after all, Jinyiwei supervised hundreds of officials, and they knew a lot of the officials' privacy.

Gu Shi'an looked at Gu Nian thoughtfully after hearing this, and said, "The prince told you that?" ”

Gu Nian blushed and nodded, vaguely feeling that he had been caught doing something bad.

"Tell me if there is anything in the future." Gu Shi'an touched Gu Nian's head, thinking about where there were loopholes in the security in the house.

The tea shop has been open for two months, and Cui Yunshan has been going to the house from time to time to convey useful news to Gu Nian.

On this day, Gu Nian was just about to go out to visit the eldest princess of the country, when a little girl came to tell her, saying that Cui Yunshan was here.

Cui Yunshan just came yesterday, why did he come again today? Gu Nian met Cui Yunshan in the flower hall.

"Girl, there's something ......"
