Chapter 54: Chinese New Year

With the object of suspicion, the rest of the matter will be handed over to Wu Lie to investigate.

Li Congxin was worried about Gu Huanyi's safety, and personally sent Gu Huanyi back to the Song Mansion after the discussion.

He told her on the way: "People come and go during the New Year, and it is easiest to mix with idle people, etc., before finding Lin Youhai, you have to be extra careful." ”

Gu Huanyi said with relief: "I will listen to you and take Uncle Liu with me, besides, I am not a helpless person, in the past year, I have been exercising, and I have not lost my basic skills, and I can still cope with one or two." ”

Li Congxin teased: "Just your three-legged cat's kung fu......"

Gu Huanyi was underestimated by him, and muttered angrily: "You haven't studied with me, how do you know that I am a three-legged cat kung fu?" Let's give it a try, maybe it's not as good as you, but you still have the ability to disassemble a few tricks! ”

Li Congxin was happy and said, "Don't change Ming'er, just try it today." ”

The two sat in a carriage, which, although spacious, could not fight.

Li teased her from the heart, and the two only made a few moves back and forth, and Gu Huanyi was grabbed by him and held his hands in front of him.

Gu Huan didn't expect that the gap between the two was really so big, and he couldn't get over his face, so he said: "Don't count, you can't show it in the carriage, the most powerful thing in our Gu family is marksmanship and archery, let's compare it one day!" ”

Li Congxin pulled her to her and kissed her on her red face: "It's not a shame to lose to me, Brother Wu and I have to learn more, and we will lose more and win less." ”

Gu Huanyi was very surprised, although there were many relatives of the emperor who practiced martial arts, there were not many who had achieved something.

Wu Lie is the commander of the West Factory, and he is already a master of the inner house, Li Congxin is more powerful than him?

"You were wounded in the Donglin Army earlier...... I thought you couldn't do kung fu......"

Li Congxin became a man's competitive spirit for a while, and said: "It was inconvenient for me to expose my identity at that time, I couldn't use my family's kung fu, and I didn't take advantage of the sword, so I let people take advantage." ”

Hearing his strong tone, Gu Huanyi smiled: "Okay, good, I know that you are the best!" Let go of me, my hands are numb. ”

Li Congxin let go of her hand, but held her in his arms with his backhand, and sighed: "I hate to tie you to my side and watch you all the time." ”

The warm embrace and love made Gu Huanyi very useful, she stretched out her hand to hug him, and said: "I will try my best to take care of myself, if I can't even deal with Fang Yurong and Lin Youhai, how can I face more powerful enemies in the future?" ”

Gu Huanyi secretly decided in his heart that he must not become a shortcoming that hinders Li Congxin, and must be as powerful as him, so that he is worthy of standing with him.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year is approaching, the Song family's New Year is extremely lively, and there are many in-laws who need to move around, and Gu Huanyi is dazzled.

Mrs. Song's mother's Xu family came to visit her many younger generations, the Xu family is the richest man, although no one has entered the office, but it has a close relationship with the imperial court. The Xu family knew the news that the prince of Ming proposed to Gu Huanyi, and they also came to know her and walk around with her.

There is also Mrs. Song's youngest daughter, Gu Huanyi's aunt, who also brought her daughter back to save her relatives.

Aunt Song married a family of eunuchs surnamed Liu, and her husband's official position was not high, and she was a six-rank magistrate.

Her daughter Liu Qiongyu is married, Xinxu is a lifter, and now she is looking for a job in Beijing.

These relatives Gu Huanyi have seen them, and they also understand that they have something to ask for from themselves.

Mrs. Song was worried that she was thinking about things to the left, so she made a special trip to talk to her.

"The Song family, the Xu family, and the Liu family are all relatives of the Gu family, but you must understand that they are looking for you with selfish intentions, whether it is to do some business or to get an official position, they are all aimed at the relationship between you and the Ming Palace. But in the world, you can't be alone, you have no parents and brothers, you still have to find some reliable yourself among your relatives to have a dependence. In the past, you were young and in Liangzhou, and there was little movement with them, but in the future, it is still necessary to operate one or two of these relationships. ”

Gu Huanyi is willing to find orphans in the Gu family's army to cultivate manpower, and he is naturally willing to use his relatives, as long as he is no longer a wolf-hearted white-eyed wolf like Gu Hui.

Gu Huanyi said to Mrs. Song: "Grandmother and granddaughter understand these truths, and relatives should support and support each other. But my marriage with the prince has just begun, and I owe the prince a lot of kindness before, if I go to ask the prince to do things at this moment, I will end up in this marriage, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the Ming Wangfu in the future. ”

Mrs. Song heard that Gu Huanyi had broken off contact with the Gu family before, and she didn't often go to the Song family, so she thought she was a cold-hearted person, so she persuaded her, not to ask her to contribute to her relatives now.

She said: "It's good that you understand this truth, the current affairs, the Song family can do everything for them, and you don't have to let the prince bother." ”

The Song family's entertainment did not stop until the seventh day of the new year.

Gu Huanyi lived in the Song Mansion for half a month, and it was a little tiring for her to be cold and warm every day, so she thought about going back to her home.

After telling Mrs. Song about this, Mrs. Song did not force her to stay, and agreed to let her move back on the tenth day of the first month.

Song Xiangjun learned that she was leaving, so she hurriedly asked her out to play: "I heard that the church meeting of the Qilin Club during the Chinese New Year is very exciting, and it is full every day. The sisters of the Liu family and the Xu family haven't gone out to play yet, so let's go and have a look. ”

Gu Huanyi estimated that Song Xiangjun wanted to entertain guests on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to see Xiao Fenghua.

Gu Huanyi didn't plan to go out to play because he wanted to guard against Fang Yurong and Lin Youhai's calculations, shook his head and said to Song Xiangjun: "Don't go, it's a mess over there, take so many sisters there, what if something happens if you don't take care of it?" I'll regret taking you last time. ”

Song Xiangjun blushed and said, "No, just ask the fourth uncle to arrange some guards for us." ”

Song Zhengrui knew from Zheng Qing that Lin Youhai was going to seek revenge on Gu Huanyi when he returned to Beijing, so he added a lot of guards to the Song Mansion and patrolled day and night.

Song Xiangjun persuaded Gu Huanyi for a while, but Gu Huanyi refused to go to the Qilin Club with her, so she had to say angrily: "Then I will ask the sisters to go to the theater!" ”

said so, but until Gu Huanyi moved home on the tenth day of the first month, Song Xiangjun couldn't go out.

Her mother, Jiang, didn't like her to go to the Quyi Gym, and was very strict with her whereabouts, so she could only go out to play in the name of Gu Huanyi.

After Gu Huanyi returned to his house, the first thing he did was to set up a banquet to invite Wu Lie, Cui Jingxuan and Jin Ying to come to the house as guests.

After Qiao Jingyun accepted the invitation, she came to help two days in advance.

Gu Huanyi said embarrassedly: "It's the New Year, the Hou Mansion is busy, and I want you to be distracted to help me." ”

Qiao Jingyun said: "It's already busy, and the guests who should be sent have also been sent away." I have come today because I have something to tell you in advance. ”

Gu Huan saw that her expression was narrow, with a smile, and asked, "What's the interesting thing?" ”

Qiao Jingyun leaned into her ear and said, "The Jin family sent someone to the eldest princess of Xuyang to find out the news, and wanted to marry Sister He for Jin Ying." ”
