After a while, the carriage stopped. Xiao Lan had already fallen asleep, Gu Zhiruo put her hands in her wide sleeved robe, sitting upright, she heard the voice of Xiao Lan's family outside the carriage: "Young Master, I have arrived home." ”

But now that Xiao Lan was asleep, only Gu Zhiyu and his personal maid heard the voice. She pondered for a few seconds what to do without being out of line or out of line. finally opened her mouth and said in her naturally soft and sweet voice: "Xiao Gongzi is asleep, please come in and help her." ”

Gu Zhiruo's father is a scholar, and his family has been a well-known scholar for several generations, and he can be regarded as worthy of the scholarly world. The education she received since she was a child made her a person who values courtesy, righteousness and shame very much.

She is a woman who has not yet left the cabinet, and it is inappropriate to send Xiao Lan back alone this time, where do you dare to get Xiao Lan. Gu Zhiruo took the maid to get out of the carriage first, and then the family went in and carefully helped Xiao Lan down.

In front of Xiao Lan's door, several families in gray cloth clothes stood guard in front of the door.

Xiao Mansion from the gate makes people understand a majestic meaning. The first thing to enter is the two stone lions, one on the left and one on the right, the lion's eyes are wide open, Gu Zhiruofu looked over, and was startled by this lion, and felt that there was a bit of a fierce momentum, as if he was glaring at others. Then there is a stone paved staircase, which is not long, only about a dozen steps away. Above the steps is the red gate, and under the eaves hangs a plaque with the word "Xiao Fu" written in a somewhat scribbled handwriting.

The family guarding the door naturally knew his son, and as soon as he saw someone, the two family members hurriedly glanced at each other, and then ran over to help, while cautiously asking the family who followed back: "Son, what's the matter?" The rest of the words didn't dare to say it, but the little guy who followed back with only half of the words could naturally understand.

This Ding shook his head, with a serious look on his face, and seemed unwilling to say more: "No." Inquire less about your son. He also warned at the end.

Gu Zhiruo followed behind a few people not far away, the family who came back with Xiao Lan was a sensible person, he handed Xiao Lan over to the other two family members, and then turned around and walked to Gu Zhiruo's side, leaned down slightly, and said to her respectfully: "Miss Gu, the main hall of the mansion is in front." ”

Gu Zhiruo nodded cautiously.

After a while, the group arrived at the main hall of the Xiao Mansion.

The sky had already sunk, and the main hall of Xiao's Mansion was lit with oil lamps, and it was still bright from the outside. There were also two maids standing at the door of the main hall of Xiao's mansion, and seeing that Xiao Lan was helped back by the family, one of the maids clasped her hands in front of her waist and said loudly inside: "The son is back." ”

A deep voice came from the main hall, with anger in it: "He still knows to come back!"

Gu Zhiruo was startled by this voice. Her face turned pale and she followed a few family members inside.

In the main hall of Xiao's mansion, the father of the mansion is sitting on the front of the house. Seeing that Xiao Lan was helped in by the family, his already ruthless expression became a little worse again. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said in a strong tone of hatred: "Where did he go to fool around today!" Still drunk like this! What a system!"

"Sir." The family trembled and shouted to Xiao's father.

Gu Zhiruo followed behind, and Father Xiao's eyes moved slightly, and he skimmed Gu Zhiruo who was wearing a blue shirt. Father Xiao's heart instantly excited, he had seen Gu Zhiruo before. At this time, I saw her head down, her cheeks crimson, and she could see that she was shy.

Father Xiao walked down, walked in front of Gu Zhiruo, his voice couldn't help but lower a little, and asked kindly, "This is Lord Shangshu's daughter, right?"

Gu Zhiruo made a big salute to Father Xiao and greeted politely: "Zhiruo has seen Uncle Xiao. ”

Xiao's father was happy now, he glanced at his son who was not angry, and asked, "Why did Xiao Lan come back like this?" Are you with him today?"

Gu Zhiruo felt that it should be counted as a temporary encounter, so he replied obediently: "Xiao Gongzi is with Wen Shizi today, and I only met him later." ”

"Good! Good!" Father Xiao said with a laugh.

After that, Gu Zhiruo talked to Father Xiao a few more words, and then took the maid back to Shangshu Mansion.

Xiao Lan was awakened by a blinding light on the second day.

He opened his eyes in a daze, his mind cleared a little, and then he realized that the window in his room was not closed. He was woken up by the sun early in the morning.

After washing, Xiao Lan went to the main hall to eat. As soon as he sat down, he was glanced at by Father Xiao.

"Father." Xiao Lan greeted sensibly.

However, Father Xiao only snorted lightly, and rarely did not scold him. Just when Xiao Lan was puzzled, Xiao's father spoke again: "You wait until you finish eating, and then go to Shangshu Mansion." ”

Xiao Lan's chopsticks stopped in the air, and only after half a sound did he let out an "oh" in resignation. Father Xiao explained: "Miss Gu sent you back when you were drunk yesterday. It makes sense that you should come to the door today to thank you. Besides, the marriage between the two of you is approaching, and the Shangshu Mansion will be your Yue's family in the future! I don't care what you used to be like outside, but in front of the Gu family, you have to have a good appearance!"

Xiao Lan naturally knew what else he could do except obey Xiao's father's words.

Outside the gate of Shangshu Mansion.

Xiao Lan had something in her hand, waiting to enter the little house in Tongchuan. He didn't know how long he had waited, he couldn't help but come to his senses when he stood still, he was fascinated, and a cold voice suddenly sounded behind him, "You are Xiao Lan?"

Xiao Lan turned his head, and a few steps away from him stood a famous man with a tall figure, with a wheat-colored complexion, thick eyebrows, black, and a pair of narrow eyes with disdain. He was wearing a moon-white round-necked robe, Xiao Lan knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary person, and she guessed his identity in her heart.

So Xiao Lan gave him a bow and said, "I've seen Gu Gongzi." At the behest of my father, I came to visit Miss Gu today. ”

This man is Gu Zhiruo's brother Gu Jing.

But Gu Jing didn't have a happy look, he only glanced at Xiao Lan coldly, and said resolutely: "No need, my sister is unwell today, and it is inconvenient to see guests." ”

Xiao Lan was forced by Gu Jing's eyes, he knew that Gu Jing just didn't want him to see Gu Zhiruo. But when he went out, Father Xiao let go, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Gu Gongzi, you see that I am not your brother-in-law, it is better to go and ......."

Gu Jing squinted, Xiao Lan thought he would let go, but who knew that it was still those words that came out, "No." Xiao Gongzi, please go back. With that, he shouted at the little guy next to the door: "Send Xiao Gongzi out." ”
