Zhi Qing looked at it, the leader was slightly two years older than herself, looking forward to Shenfei, and her temperament was different from others, the girl she was holding in her hand was not enough, and she seemed to be the same age as Lin Juegui;

The brothers and sisters of the Lin family originally heard their mother mention that there are four young ladies in the Shenlong General's Mansion, and Dan Qi has already entered the palace as an alternative, and the ones who walk in front must be Lan Ruo, the eldest daughter of the eldest uncle, Mei Jun, the second uncle, and Fu Yao, the sister of Gu Feng, the prince of Zhenzhen.

After Mrs. Zhang introduced them one by one, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) smiled at Mrs. Gu and said, "The family will be more lively in the future!"

Old Mrs. Gu nodded, because she commanded again: "Pass on my words, Brother Gui'er and brother and sister are my grandsons, and everyone in the house needs to serve them as wholeheartedly as the master of the family, if you dare to rely on your brother and sister's good temperament, you dare to be slow, and the Gu family will not tolerate him!"

Mrs. Zhang got up and agreed: "Although the old lady can rest assured, the daughter-in-law must be worthy of her sister's entrustment." ”

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) then asked, "Which one is serving in front of Miss Lin?"

After a while, an old mother and two little maids came in and kowtowed.

Zhiqing took the initiative to introduce: "This is the nurse Wang Mama since childhood, the young Spring Rain beat the child to follow me, the slightly older one is called the red heron, and my brother bought it from the traffickers on the way here." ”

Old Mrs. Gu shook her head: "Old and young, how can this be done!"

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) saw a little cinnabar mole between the eyebrows of the red heron, quite the character of everyone's daughter, put down the fan and said with a smile: "Aunt entrusts her cousin and cousin to the old lady, naturally it is inconvenient to send more people to follow, the cousin is a boy and does not matter, and the sister still needs the old lady to be thoughtful, and we who serve below, you will reward her with a powerful maid ring in front of you, and it is good to suppress the slaves who do not obey, right?"

"The princess is thoughtful!" Mrs. Gu happily agreed, "Qiuhong, from now on, I will serve in front of Miss Lin." ”

Zhiqing was busy thanking the reward, and Qiuhong also recognized the master from scratch.

Sister Meijun and Zhiqing are of the same age, Gu Kui, Gu Xuan and Lin Juehong can also join the contract, Gu Lao Taijun is overjoyed: "It should be so close." ”

Lin Juegui reminded: "Old lady, my sister still needs to ask the two uncles for peace. ”

Mrs. Zhang asked Mrs. Gu: "The daughter-in-law can bring her niece and daughter over." ”

Old Mrs. Gu nodded with a smile: "You don't have to come over." ”

Gu Yin had already seen Lin Juegui, and he was quite happy that his nephew had inherited the family style, and when his niece asked for peace, he couldn't help but comfort her, telling her not to see the outside clouds in everything.

The main courtyard sat down slightly, Mrs. Zhang immediately ordered her to send her over to meet Gu Zheng, Zhiqing lifted the curtain to peek, and found that the small sedan chair went out of the corner gate of the Shenlong General's Mansion and entered the black oil gate next to it, and guessed in her heart that Gu Zheng's courtyard must be cut out of the old garden of the Shenlong General's Mansion, and got off the sedan chair to see the house, although it was not as magnificent as the main house, but it was also exquisite.

Huang Shifang and Lu Ying came back from Old Taijun Gu, and they were angry about what happened just now, and their daughter-in-law had a straight face: "I'm old and useless, aren't you old?" When I saw Miss Lin earlier, I took out the ring to support your face, you should think that there are still two brothers you haven't seen, why don't you send Su Yun back to prepare? Or is everyone beautiful, you only teach you to think carefully about your mother-in-law's things?"

Lu Ying was bitter and knelt on the ground along the edge of the kang: "It's the daughter-in-law who is careless." ”

Huang put the Buddha beads on the kang table: "I am not as blessed as the eldest wife, everything has my own daughter-in-law to think for her, and the gift given to the Lin family today must also be the private room of the Changbai daughter-in-law. ”

Lu Yingqiang endured and didn't shed tears: the eldest sister-in-law eats the emperor's grain, not counting Lu rice, there are more than 20,000 taels of silver a year, and the emperor and the saint also gave countless imperial farms, not to mention the one hundred and thirty dowries that shook the capital when she married into the Shenlong General's Mansion, where can she compare? The mother-in-law blindly favors the uncle, and Chen'er is afraid that she will bear the false name of the eldest son and grandson in vain, how can she not plan for the future? If she is entrusted with someone like her sister-in-law, who is willing to be so careful?

The Huang family is most unaccustomed to Lu Ying's crying face. was about to send her back to the room, only to hear the eldest girl Caixia talking outside: "Mrs., Miss Lin is here." ”

Huang hurriedly changed his face: "Hurry up and invite the eldest girl in." ”

Lu Ying hurriedly stood up and stood aside with her eyes down.

Huang asked Zhiqing to go to the east kang, and when Zhiqing saw that she was sitting down in the west, she expected that it must be Gu Zheng's position, because she sat on the chair next to the kang, Huang asked her to go to the kang again and again, and then she sat down next to Huang.

sent Lu Ying to take Gu Chen to Rongqing Hall, and Huang said: "Your uncle has just been invited by Master Lu of Hanlin, goodbye, there is only one sentence to tell you, the four sisters in the family are all excellent, and there are occasional jokes, but my evil root is the demon king of the family, and I have not come back when I go to the temple today, and you will know it when you see it later, don't pay attention to him in the future, and your sisters and sisters will not mess with him." ”

Zhiqing has heard her mother say that there is a nephew who was born with a jade, stubborn and abnormal, does not like to study, and likes to be mixed up in the inner curtain, and her grandmother is doting, almost no one dares to care, and now when I see what Huang said, I know that it is this cousin, and I laughed and said: "What my uncle said is the second cousin who was born with a jade? When I was at home, my mother often said that this brother is not a year older than me, and his nickname is Bufan, although he is stubborn, he treats his sisters very well.

Huang smiled: "You don't know why, he has the love of an old lady, and he is used to being pampered with his sisters, and his sisters ignore him and he is quiet, if you say a word more, you don't know how many things will happen if you don't have a day, and the sweet-talking Hugh will believe him!"

Zhiqing agreed one by one.

Suddenly, a maid said, "The old lady has passed dinner there." ”

Huang hurriedly took Zhiqing out of the house, and explained to her: "Changbai's daughter-in-law is the princess's mother, and the old lady doesn't look at her face well, and often asks the eldest lady to go over to wait. ”

Although Zhiqing is small, her heart is clear, because she said with a smile: "The second aunt must be considerate of the eldest aunt before she is willing to work hard." ”

As he spoke, he had already arrived in the front yard of Old Taijun Gu, and when he saw Huang coming in, he set up tables and chairs, Gu Bufan's wife Li held a cup, Sister Qing An Zhen, and Mrs. Huang entered the soup. Mrs. Gu sat alone on the couch in front of her, with six empty chairs on both sides.

Sister Qing hurriedly pulled Lin Juegui to sit down on the first chair on the left, and Lin Juegui didn't dare to sit down because of the big problems between men and women.

Mrs. Gu said with a smile: "Your aunt and sister-in-law are not eating here, it's late today, so I'll make do with it first, and tomorrow your uncle and brother will hold a banquet for you." ”

Lin Juegui was not easy to hold up, so he took a seat with sin.

Lin Juegui didn't have to go to the table when he was young, so Zhiqing sat down on the second chair on the left, and the four Mei Jun sisters came up, Mei Jun sat first on her right hand, Mei Jun sat second on her right hand, followed by Mei Jun and Fu Yao.

After the meal was over, Mrs. Gu said, "You guys, let us talk freely." ”

Huang then got up and said two more gossips, and Fang led Feng and Li to go.

Lin Juegui was cramped, and Yahuan came in to report: "Uncle is here." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lin Juegui saw a young man walking in from outside, although he was dressed normally, he was naturally born with a noble spirit, and he was more heroic than Pan Song.

Old Mrs. Gu smiled and introduced: "This is your eldest cousin!"

Gu Changbai (Mokun) Weizhen Huanyu, Lin Juegui has long admired his eldest cousin who has never met, and now he is naturally very excited to see the main master, and he plucked his clothes and bowed: "Big brother is fine." ”

Zhiqing and Lin Juegui also followed the eldest brother to make a big salute.

"Hurry up. Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) said with a smile, "It's all a family, why be polite." ”

Gu Lao Taijun took advantage of the situation and instructed: "If you have leisure, you can also guide Brother Gui'er to do learning." ”

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) responded with a smile: "The five generations of the Lin family are scholarly, and the family has a natural origin, I am afraid that it will be reluctant for me to be a gentleman for my cousin!"

Lin Juegui had heard his father mention that his eldest cousin was the first three-dimensional civil and military champion in thousands of years, otherwise he would not be worthy of Princess Chaoyun, the first talented woman in Daqing, who had both civil and military skills.

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) instructed Sister Meijun again: "Sister Lin has just arrived in Beijing, you need to take more care of the inconveniences, the old lady is too tired to work when she is old, and it is the same with your sister-in-law." ”

Sister Mei Jun agreed, and Mei Jun smiled: "Brother, don't worry, we have designated to make my sister as comfortable as in our own home." ”

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) teased her: "I'm happy to believe you!"

Mei Jun pursed her lips and chuckled, and Mei Jun sneered at her grandmother: "Old lady, if you look at my brother, you will bully me." ”

Mrs. Gu smiled for a while, hugged her granddaughter and said, "My Jin girl is the most sensible, and she will definitely be able to take care of her sister." ”

Gu Changbai (Mokun) asked Lin Juegui about his siblings' schoolwork, because he discussed with Gu Lao Taijun: "It's easy to invite Xibin to Cousin Tai or send him to the palace to study, Cousin Hong is young, and it won't delay him at home to enlighten him first." ”

Gu Lao Taijun hurriedly said: "It's better to go to the palace to study, and you can also take the opportunity to socialize with nobles, which will be of great benefit to you in the future." ”

"Listen to the old lady-" Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) naturally knew Gu Laojun's private thoughts, if he invited the great Confucian at home, Gu Zheng would inevitably let Bufan accompany him, if he couldn't bear the pain of the cold and annoyed Duanfang's second uncle, he might ask the little cousin who was not worried about the family law, and Gu Lao Taijun was distressed and went back to the south, which would inevitably be the result of restlessness.

Before he could say a word, he only heard a sound of footsteps outside, and the maid who opened the curtain at the door replied with a smile: "Bufan is here." ”

Although Lin Juegui is older, after all, he is a guest here, and he knows that his grandmother loves her grandson in her heart, and she also stands up with her younger siblings Mei Jun and Fu Yao.

Bufan had already heard that there was a fairy-like sister in the family, so he patiently asked his grandmother and brother to say goodbye and looked at Zhiqing.

Zhiqing only felt that the son in front of him was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he didn't care about the other party's rudeness.

Lin Juegui was a little displeased, and brought his younger brother forward to salute.

Bufan knew that it was Aunt Lin's cousin, so he hurriedly returned the courtesy.

After a closer look at Zhiqing, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I've seen this sister." ”

Old Mrs. Gu scolded with a smile: "But nonsense, how have you ever seen your cousin!"

Bufan smiled: "Although I haven't seen it, I look at the face of goodness, and my heart feels like I am far away from reunion." ”

Mrs. Gu smiled: "Okay! Okay! This makes us more harmonious." ”

Bufan walked over to Zhiqing and sat down, because he asked, "Has my sister ever studied?"

Zhiqing replied, "I just read the Four Books. ”

Bufan said again: "My sister's honorable name?"

Zhiqing said the name.

Bufan said again: "Table words?"

Zhiqing said: "No word." ”

Bufan smiled: "I'll send my sister a word-"

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) was talking to Gu Lao Taijun, and after hearing it from the side, he said lightly: "Don't be naughty, how can the girl's words be arbitrary?"

In addition to Gu Zheng, the first person to be afraid of Bufan is his cousin Gu Changbai (Mo Kun), who dare not say much.

Bufan timidly looked at Gu Changbai (Mo Kun), just as he saw his cold eyes cross, and a shudder leaned on Gu Lao Taijun.

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) asked Gu Lao Taijun: "It's time to study, what are the plans of the second uncle?"

Old Mrs. Gu hurriedly said: "This kid is weak inside, my idea is to let him relax for two years." ”

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) nodded: "Old lady, men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven, Bufan has reached the age, it's time to move out." ”

Old Mrs. Gu was unhappy: "He's still young!"

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) frowned slightly, and it was not easy to say much in front of the Lin family brothers and sisters, because he asked, "Where are my cousin and cousin staying?"

Chunhua replied: "Mrs. asked the second grandmother to clean up the west courtyard for the young master and Miss Cousin to rest, one is cheap for the young master to enter and exit, and the other is that Miss Cousin and the girls are not far away, and the old lady can also watch closely." ”

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) nodded, got up and knelt down to Old Taijun Gu: "It's not early, grandson will go back first, and you will rest early." ”

"Hmm. Gu Lao Taijun was also distressed and unrestrained, because he said with a smile, "You are a member of the imperial court, everything needs to be the first of the saints, I have your mother and your aunt here and they are filial, I don't need you to be distracted, I have to come over and talk to the mother and son, it's just too busy, the flesh and blood relatives don't pay attention to it, I am relieved to be a good errand, who outside does not envy me for having a generalissimo grandson?"

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) agreed with a smile: "I heard it, I have a cousin and cousin in me, and I have earned the dislike of the old lady." ”

Lin Juegui's brothers and sisters were feeling uneasy, but Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) said: "Since this is the case, you will always be happy under the old lady's knees in the future, and when you see you, it will be like your aunt in front of the old lady." ”

Lin Juegui Zhiqing responded in unison: "It is the duty of my younger brother (sister) to honor my grandmother. ”

After Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) left, Gu Bufan was coquettish to Gu Lao Taijun like a twisted candy, only saying that he didn't want to leave her and move to Gu Zheng's place, how could Gu Lao Taijun not listen? ”

Bufan rejoiced: "The ancestor is so good to me!"

When she went back to the East Compound to talk to her wife about it, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) smiled and said, "You have a lot of trouble, the second uncle doesn't care, you want to worry about it?"

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) smiled bitterly: "The second uncle wants to take care of it, but he can't stand the old lady in front of him." ”

"Don't meddle in unpopular things. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) said while giving her husband wide clothes, "Don't think you are enough to attract the hatred of the second wife?"

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) was stunned: "What does she hate me for?"

"What do you hate you for?" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) pulled herself to the edge of the bed by her husband and sat down, "If it weren't for you, the 'Gu Family Phoenix Horse' praised by the emperor, would the eldest brother Gu Jiong be able to throw away his life with his hard work?"

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) sneered: "The emperor praised me for winning the six-yuan double champion for me, Gu Jiong refused to go through the room with red sleeves and incense, although his qualifications are not bad, his body can't stand the two torments, and he lost his life when he didn't read the book, and the warblers and Yanyan in his house were not sold by the old lady?"

"The root is here. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) explained in detail, "Without you, Gu Jiong can't toss himself to death, he is still the eldest grandson of the Shenlong General's Mansion, with the old lady's partiality towards the second room, it may not be difficult to inherit the title of the mansion." Regardless of what I said, Gu Gujiong is gone, the second wife has to settle half of the account on you, this time no matter how good it is, it's strange that there is a bad pool that doesn't look for you to work hard!"

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) suddenly realized: "I didn't even think about it. ”

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) said with a smile: "I estimate that the second wife is still waiting for you to atonement for your crimes." ”

"Oh, I want to hear it!" Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) made a deaf gesture.

"Helping Dan Qi become the queen of the concubine and pulling Bufan to be the prime minister of the country's uncle, it would be more sincere to be able to give up the title to the second uncle. ”

"Then let her wait. Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) lay down with his wife in his arms, and said softly: "It's late at night, we ....."

"Can you slow down tonight, my waist ....."

"Can't!"

On the second day, Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) quickly got the opportunity to "redeem his merits".

After the early dynasty, the emperor left Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) in the south study.

After asking a few words about the recent defense of the Beijing camp, the emperor finally asked, "Muyuan, the imperial merchant of Jinling, is your relative?"

Gu Changbai (Mokun) was slightly stunned, got up and replied: "Yes, Mu Yuan's wife Huang is the sister of Lord Huang Zijie, the ruler of the nine provinces, and his younger brother Gu Lian is married to the eldest daughter of Lord Huang, and his uncle Gu Zheng and Mu Yuan are also brothers-in-law. ”

The emperor said coldly: "It seems to be true that the four families of Jinling have relatives and take care of each other. ”

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) frowned, and he didn't dare to answer the emperor's tone.

The emperor put down the teacup and snorted: "If not, I don't have the courage to cover the sky!"

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) knelt down and stubbornly accused: "It's because the ministers are not strict in governing the family, and the ministers will die!"

The emperor laughed: "Lack of strict governance of the family? This matter has nothing to do with you. ”

Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) slandered: "It's irrelevant, you can find trouble with me." ”

"Don't worry about it. "The emperor has finally played enough dumb riddles, "I might as well tell you bluntly, in addition to the imperial merchants, Mu Yuan is also my three-rank political envoy." ”

The envoy is subordinate to the internal guard, can supervise the local administration, has the right to secretly report to the emperor, and can be called the confidant of the Son of Heaven.
