Chapter 41: The Past
Waiting for Shen Enlai to drag his body back to Class 6, everyone had already started to eat. "Sister Shen, come quickly." Nan Huaiyun saw Shen Enlai waving his hand from afar, Shen Enlai smiled at her, Wen Xingxing saw Shen Enlai snorting in his nose, Nan Huaiyun found Wen Xingxing's strangeness, and knocked Wen Xingxing's head with the chopsticks in his hand. Wen Xingxing glared angrily, and saw that it was Nan Huaiyun who pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
Nan Huaiyun walked over and pulled Shen Enlai to sit down, Wen Xingxing's voice sounded: "Talent disdains to sit with us, Nuan Nuan, don't pull her, when the time comes, delay Miss Shen to do business." ”
"What's going on? It's weird to eat a meal. Zhao Feiyan took a big bite of rice and asked Chen Zhenmin, who was sitting beside him. Chen Zhenmin put a large piece of meat in his bowl and tried in vain to plug his mouth, didn't this ancestor see that the saber rattling was going on here, isn't it good to bow his head and eat his food?
Shen Enlai patted Nan Huaiyun's hand: "It's time to send food to Nan Huaijin, give it to me, I'll take it to him, and eat there by the way." ”
Nan Huaiyun still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Shen Enlai's eyes, so he could only run to repack the meal that he was going to send to his brother, and then put a big bowl of rice for Shen Enlai, and poured the whole plate of beef into the plate for Shen Enlai in front of everyone.
"That, Nuan Nuan, this plate can't fit—" As soon as Chen Zhenmin's words fell, Nan Huaiyun drove the last piece of beef into the plate. Chen Zhenmin could only swallow and saliva.
"Sister Shen, eat more." Nan Huaiyun handed the lunch box to Shen Enlai's hand, and Shen Enlai felt as if he was carrying a sandbag. She didn't seem to be able to eat so much, but seeing Nan Huaiyun's look like she had eaten this meal without a meal, Shen Enlai could only take it helplessly.
"Sister Shen, I'll steam another egg for you."
"Enough is enough." Shen En didn't look back, carrying the lunch box and running wildly. Nan Huaiyun turned around, Chen Zhenmin and Zhao Feiyan opened their arms, protecting the dishes in front of them, with a look of death. The rice is gone, there is not much food left, and if you take it again, you really have to drink water to fill your stomach.
"Knock-" Shen Enlai knocked lightly on the door. Nan Huaijin had woken up, but she was too weak, so she had to stay in bed and recuperate slowly.
Shen Enlai waited outside the door for a while before pushing the door in, Nan Huaijin had already sat up, his face was pale, and the whole person still looked weak. The moment he saw the person coming, a trace of suspicion flashed on Nan Huaijin's face, but he disappeared in a moment.
"Let's eat." Shen Enlai opened his mouth and walked towards Nan Huaijin, put the lunch box on the table, picked up the table board specially customized for him and placed it on the bed, and then took out the meals in the lunch box one by one.
"These, you and I will eat them?"
"Well, Nuan Nuan Sheng, you are recuperating, you eat more."
"Ahem—why did you deliver food?"
"As the head of the class, I would like to offer my condolences regularly."
"What's wrong?"
"I can't come if it's okay?"
"Miss Enlai, has Your Majesty summoned you today?"
"Don't you know, what else are you asking..."
"You should live for yourself." Nan Huaijin's sudden low words made Shen Enlai's hand shaking the vegetables. She raised her eyes to look at Nan Huaijin, "I have always lived for myself. ”
"Your brother's case is not your fault. After entering the secret bureau, many things are not as imagined. ”
"What did I do, you know again?"
"If you want to enter the secret situation, you must be outside of the party struggle, you have already made enemies with the three princes, and you must offend the prince again in order to gain His Majesty's trust. Almost everyone around us is princeling, and if you approve of the prince, but you have to act like this, it will only make you unhappy. ”
"I know what I'm doing, and since you guessed it, don't stop me, or I-"
"What are you—" Nan Huaijin laughed and interrupted Shen Enlai's vicious words. Shen Enlai's momentum was broken at once, and the warning behind him was naturally unspeakable, he glared at him, stuffed a large mouthful of beef into his mouth, and chewed hard.
"Why do you know who I am?" This is the question that Pan Geng has always had in Shen Enlai's heart. She didn't dare to investigate, and she had been deliberately avoiding it, but sooner or later this layer of window paper would be punctured.
Nan Huaijin looked at her, the little girl was still tempting, and didn't directly ask him if he knew the person behind him. "I once saw you in the Gu family's compound."
"Gu Family Compound..."Shen Enlai muttered, how long ago was that? Time seemed to drag her far and wide, but when she stopped and turned around, it was just yesterday.
"Yes, the Gu family compound. At that time, Nuan Nuan and I arrived in the capital. Penniless, I went around doing odd jobs to make ends meet. At that time, the Gu family needed manpower to run a birthday, and I was recruited at a young age with flexible hands and feet. At that time, I happened to meet you, and I was punished. ”
Birthday and punishment...... There seemed to be a thread strung together in Shen Enlai's memory.
Grandmother is blatantly favoritive, and Gu Enlai is also repeatedly provocative. Her brother is the son of the Gu family, even if he is disabled, he is also the smartest man in the world, and he is the person she Gu Enlai puts in her heart, and no one can be allowed to put his beak.
Gu Enlai's siblings, in addition to Gu Sheyu, naturally there are also the pair of sisters and brothers born to the Gu family's concubines: Gu Chao and Gu Yue. Gu's father relied on the wealth and fame of the ancestors of the Gu family to protect his children and grandchildren all the way, and his life was comfortable. If you don't count his three scientific expeditions, they all ended without a problem. It's just that Mrs. Gu understands that in Gu's father's generation, the Gu family and official position are hopeless, but fortunately, although Gu's father is talentless and unwise, he is full of filial piety, and enjoys the family fun of his children and grandchildren every day, and Mrs. Gu is also very satisfied. Hope is pinned on the grandchildren, Mrs. Gu has three children under her knees, two sons and one daughter, and the only daughter has married into a Xiucai mansion, although Xiucai is poor, but his virtue is good. Later, he rushed to Liangping County to serve as the county commander, and the only daughter also left. There are only Gu's father and Gu Erye left, but Gu Erye is an unfortunate master, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling everything. He died in the Qinglou at a young age.
When Mrs. Gu was hit by this, she was a little more severe, and she mainly punished her, in order to only seek harmony in the inner house and peace in the family. And Gu Enlai is not a worry-free person, he has many disputes with Gu Chao, and there are many injustices in Mrs. Gu's handling of this matter. Gu's father also turned a blind eye, he only wanted the old lady to be happy, and it was natural for Gu Enlai to suffer some grievances.
The snake hits seven inches, and the dragon has reverse scales. Gu Chao naturally knew where Gu Enlai's bottom line was. Even if he said that Gu Enlai was not as good as an ant on the soles of his feet, Gu Enlai would not throw him a look, only mentioning Gu Sheyu.
Mrs. Gu's birthday is approaching, and Gu Yue is already more than twelve, although it is still a little early to get married, but it is time to look for it. Mrs. Gu's birthday is an excellent opportunity. Although Gu Enlai's temperament is a little confused, Gu Chao knows that in terms of talent and appearance, his sister Gu Yue is afraid of it. Gu Enlai did not go to private school with his sisters, he was personally taught by Gu Sheyu since he was a child, Gu Chao saw Gu Sheyu's poems, and from that moment on, Gu Sheyu and Gu Enlai's brothers and sisters became enemies in his heart. Gu Sheyu is a cripple, but he doesn't have to care too much. But Gu Enlai is different, she is also the daughter of the Gu family in the end, she is the biggest obstacle on her sister's future road. Therefore, he must not let Gu Enlai appear on Mrs. Gu's birthday.
