She had the feeling of punching her fist on cotton.

Next, until Gu Ruoxi was sent to the gate of Haitang Garden, the two of them didn't talk much.

Liuli was guarding outside the courtyard, and she was relieved to see her own young lady Pingye come out without incident.

Gu Ruoxi gently bowed her head at Gu Yuetong, then walked to Liuli's side, and the two of them slowly returned to the way they came.

Gu Yuetong stood in place, and the forced smile on her face just now suddenly dispersed.

It turns out that the disguise is also so tired!

Gu Ruoxi returned to Luomei Curie, and Liuli and the others hurriedly asked her to go to the kang: "Miss." The kang is hot, come up and warm up! ”

Gu Ruoxi nodded, and was served by a few girls on the kang until her body was covered with a thick blanket. She felt a little warmer.

It's warm and cold for a while, and if she's not careful, I'm afraid she's really going to get sick. Gu Ruoxi didn't want to appreciate this taste, she immediately waved her hand and instructed Liuli: "Go to the kitchen and make a bowl of ginger soup for me!" ”

"Miss, do you still need to talk about this? I've been ready for a long time! Ruri immediately laughed.

Gu Ruoxi smiled, but for some reason, her brows suddenly wrinkled.

Xu Xian, is he really sick?

……

In the Begonia Garden, Gu Yuetong sent Gu Ruoxi away, and she frowned and thought about it for a long time in the house. I didn't understand what Gu Ruoxi was thinking about Xu Xian, she called Ruyi and ordered: "You go quickly, call the prince over!" If he's in the house! ”

"Miss, this early in the morning, the prince must be in the house, and the slave will call him." Ruri said, and immediately got up and walked outside.

Gu Yuetong looked at her leaving, but slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

She couldn't see anything, his brother could! Even if it can't be in the end, isn't there still a Prince Lian?

Thinking of Prince Lian, Gu Yuetong couldn't help but feel a trace of disgust in her heart, but she felt a burst of heart leaf inexplicably, and no one knew why she had such thoughts.

Gu Xiaoye was really at home, and after a while, Ruyi invited him.

As soon as Gu Xiaoye entered the door, he asked Gu Yuetong, "Tong'er, what's wrong?" What the hell are you in such a hurry to bring me here? ”

"Brother, you sit." Gu Yuetong stretched out her hand and pointed to the chair on the side of the kang, and said, "It's cold, I won't go down to ask you for leaves." ”

"Do you and I still need so much courtesy?" Gu Xiaoye heard this, smiled lightly, and sat down at the coffee table, there was a earth dragon burning in the room, and there was a charcoal basin, but it was not cold.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Gu Xiaoye raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Yuetong and said, "I heard that you brought your little sister here, but what did you find?" ”

Gu Yuetong shook her head and said a little decadently: "No! I tested her with words, wanting to see what she meant to Xu Gongzi, but I didn't see anything

Arrive. ”

"It's useless for you to do that." When Gu Xiaoye heard this, she immediately frowned and said, "Our little sister has been like a divine help recently, and everything she does is not leaky, haven't you noticed?" ”

When Gu Yuetong heard this, she frowned and said, "Brother, is she really as you said, she has changed so much?" ”

"You didn't find out what was right." Gu Xiaoye said lightly: "If you really find out something, then we can't believe it, maybe it was deliberately shown to us by her." ”

When Gu Yuetong heard this, she immediately nodded and said, "What the eldest brother said makes some sense. Originally, I wanted to find out what my little sister thought about Xu Gongzi first, if there was a drama, I would think of creating them to meet, maybe they would come and go, and they might look at each other, but now it seems that this method will not work. “

"It didn't work in the first place!" When Gu Xiaoye heard this, she glanced at Gu Yuetong lightly and said: "It is impossible to want them to make a promise to each other, and the only way to promote this family affair is to use extraordinary means!" ”

"By what means?" When Gu Yuetong heard this, her eyes lit up.

Gu Xiaoye smiled slightly, and suddenly leaned over and said a few words in front of Gu Yuetong.

Gu Yuetong's eyes were as bright as stars: "Brother! That's a good idea! ”

"This is an idea that Prince Lian came up with, don't thank me." Gu Xiaoye said: "I'm just a messenger. ”

Hearing that person's name again, the expression on Gu Yuetong's face suddenly changed! But this time, there was a little less disgust. She just nodded, and said calmly: "Then I really want to thank him for helping us so much!" ”

"However, he only said the general plan, but he didn't say how to operate it, so that it would be foolproof." Gu Yuetong suddenly frowned.

Gu Xiaoye glanced at her and said, "I'm sorry, Prince Lian only said this at the time, and then he left if there was an emergency, by the way, little sister, I want to ask you." ”

Gu Xiaoye said, his expression suddenly became solemn: "When you met him that day, did he do anything to you?" Or is it something out of the rules? This brother has to know! It's about whether we can work with him in the future. ”

When Gu Yuetong heard this, she unexpectedly remembered what Prince Lian Xuanyuan Shu said that day to seek the world for her, her face flushed a little, but she shook her head and said, "No!" Brother, you are too worried, when we met him that day, we didn't talk about anything other than talking about business, but ......"

"Just what?" Gu Xiaoye immediately asked.

Gu Yuetong raised her eyes and glanced at her brother, and replied: "It's just that when he heard that I didn't even eat breakfast, he refused to say it, and he had to let me eat dinner!" And said that if he doesn't, he won't be able to answer you ......"

"I see!" When Gu Xiaoye heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's nothing, he still is."

I like you, but he refrains. ”

When Gu Yuetong heard this, it was rare that she did not refute it.

Gu Xiaoye stood up and said, "Okay, I will find another opportunity to discuss with him, don't worry, I will solve the big things of my little sister's life before you get married." ”

"Thank you, brother!" A slight smile appeared on Gu Yuetong's face.

As the days passed, Mrs. Jinye Hou returned to take charge of the Hou Mansion, and all the good dishes and good things that Gu Ruoxi got every day because of Aunt Su were gone, but she didn't care about anything. There was calm in the Hou Mansion.

In the past few days, Jinye Hou has rarely gone to court, and there is an endless stream in front of the gate of Lihou Mansion every day, all of which are gifts, after all, the eldest lady of the ancient family is going to be the crown princess, and many people are aiming at this and stammering at Jinye Hou, and giving gifts is the best way.

Gu Ruoxi ignored this. Three days before Gu Yuetong got married, she ordered someone to send her the makeup gift she gave to Gu Yuetong, which was a large screen embroidered with mandarin ducks, whether it was material or embroidery, it was a superior work. In order to avoid getting into trouble, along with this screen, there was also a imperial doctor in the palace, and after inspecting it on the spot, he said to Mrs. Jinye Hou and Gu Yuetong: "Madam, eldest lady, there is nothing on this screen that should not appear, such as incense, such as poison, none of them!" Miss can be used by Ye Xin. ”

As soon as Mrs. Jinye Hou heard this, her face changed suddenly, and her face turned red: "Ruoxi, this girl is really, they are all their own sisters, can they still trust you?" Why do you want to invite Dr. Xu to come? Isn't this bothering people to make an extra trip? ”

"It's okay, it's okay." When Imperial Physician Xu heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Second Miss Gu is slightly ill, I originally came to check her pulse, so it's just a passing trip, it's nothing." ”

Gu Yuetong didn't expect Gu Ruoxi to act so well, and she didn't give her the slightest opportunity, and her face also changed, but in front of outsiders, she still maintained a dignified demeanor.

After Gu Ruoxi and Imperial Physician Xu left, Mrs. Jinye Hou coldly instructed Xuanyuan Mama and said, "Someone! Lift this screen down! It's an eyesore to look at! Take it down and let people chop firewood! ”

When Xuanyuan Mama heard this, her face changed suddenly, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Gu Yuetong.

"Mother! This is something sent by my sister personally, and it is also personally inspected by Imperial Physician Xu, in a few days, it will spread in the capital, and my mother ordered someone to burn it, and so on the day of the wedding, we can't take out this screen, how do you explain it to others? Gu Yuetong persuaded: "If there is that smart, you can see from this incident that our mother and daughter are not in harmony, mother, you can't lose a big one because of a small one!" ”

"But I can't swallow this breath!" Mrs. Jinye Hou said angrily: "Tong'er, it's true that she Gu Ruoxi sent the screen, but what is the reason why she ordered Imperial Doctor Xu to test it in public?" Isn't that a slap in the face?

？ ”

"That's where the little sister is smart." Gu Ruoxi glanced at Mrs. Jinye Hou, took her hand and said: "She did this, just not to give us any chance to frame her, no matter what happens to me in the future, I can't blame her, with Imperial Doctor Xu's words, no one can help her!" ”

"Humph! She's really calculating! When Mrs. Kazuba heard this, her brows furrowed.

Gu Yuetong smiled lightly and said, "Mother, don't be angry, she won't be able to stumble for a few days." ”

When Mrs. Jinye Hou saw her confident appearance, her heart perked up, and she said, "How are you all planning, tell my mother!" ”

"Mother, you'll know after tonight, why bother?" Gu Yuetong smiled lightly and said.

Mrs. Kazuba looked at her suspiciously, but did not speak.

Gu Yuetong suddenly muttered: "There are only three days left for me to get married, and the Xu family has a good relationship with our family, I wonder if they will give gifts?" That Xu Gongzi, I don't think I will miss such an opportunity to get close to my little sister, right? ”

"Tong'er, what are you muttering?" Mrs. Jinye Hou couldn't hear Gu Yuetong's words clearly, so she immediately asked.

Gu Yuetong smiled lightly and said, "Mother, don't ask, you'll know soon." ”

Mrs. Kashiba looked at her suspiciously, but did not speak.

On the second day, as Gu Yuetong expected, Xu Shilang came to the door with Xu Xian.

He was very surprised when Jinye waited to receive them, he thought that since the two families could not get married, the father and son of the Xu family would never come to the mountain gate again!

Unexpectedly, they came.

"Master Hou, in a few days it will be the day of Ling's daughter's wedding, our two families are on good terms, and the lower officials naturally want to prepare a gift. It's just that I don't know, will this move make Hou Ye unhappy? After a few people sat down in the study, Xu Shilang asked with a worried face.

Xu Xian on the side also stood up and asked Ye Dao: "Teacher!" ”

"Don't be polite!" Jinye Hou waved his hand again and again, and said, "Lord Xu, what are you talking about?" It's too late for me to be happy that you can come, so how can I not be unhappy? Come on, come on! All sit down! ”

"Master Xie!" When the father and son of the Xu family heard this, they immediately sat down on the chair.

At this moment, Xu Xian coughed lightly twice.

Jin Yehou immediately raised his eyes and glanced at him, and a trace of guilt welled up in his heart, only to see that the jade-faced young man sitting at the bottom of the head still had the slightest demeanor in the past? His face was yellow, his body was thin, and his appearance had changed greatly.

"Xu Xian, what's wrong with you? Sick? Why did you lose weight like this? Jin Ye Hou said with some distress.

"Teacher, it's not in the way, it's just some minor illnesses, just take care of it." When Xu Xian heard this, he immediately smiled reluctantly and said: "Although the marriage between our two families cannot be negotiated, Master Hou is my mentor, as the saying goes, one day is a teacher for life."

As a father, I don't know, is it possible for the apprentice to come to the door again to ask the teacher for lessons, and can he accompany the teacher to drink a few more cups? ”

Jinye Hou's heart ached, and he immediately responded: "Naturally, it's okay!" Although the marriage is not successful, you will always be my protégé, which can never be changed! ”

For Xu Xian, he really loves and loves his talent. I also like his bones.

It's just a pity that such an excellent person still has no chance with Xi'er after all.

Kazuba Hou thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.

At this moment, a tragic smile appeared on Xu Xian's face.

Xu Shilang was about to cry when he watched from the sidelines, this is his only son! Now he was hurt like this by a woman! But the other party is the Hou Ye who holds the military power, and he is just a small fourth-rank official, how can he get justice for his son? The only thing he can do is to comfort his son and let him come to such a sad place less!

"Master Hou, since the gift has been delivered, then we won't stay longer, so let's leave." Xu Shilang stepped forward and spoke.

Kazuba waited to listen. was about to answer, but at this moment, Xu Shilang on the side suddenly spoke: "Teacher! The apprentice wants to have a drink with his mentor today and congratulate him on the wedding of his daughter! ”

"Can your body resist?" At this moment, Kazuba turned his head sideways and asked with some confusion.

"Teacher, I'm fine! OK! Xu Xian immediately replied loudly: "After all, there are not many happy events like this, aren't they?" When the second lady gets married, the apprentice also wants to drink with the teacher! ”

Hearing this, Jinye Hou raised his eyes and looked at Xu Xian, clearly seeing the pain in the depths of the other party's eyes, he suddenly felt a trace of guilt in his heart, and responded without thinking too much about it: "Okay!" As a teacher, I will have a drink with you today! As for Ruoxi's marriage, it's still early, let's not talk about this first! ”

"Master Hou!" Xu Shilang became anxious when he heard this. He didn't want his son to stay in the Hou Mansion for a moment: "Master Hou, Xian'er, he's joking, you see that he is sick like this, where can he still drink?" The doctor won't let him drink either! This kid! I, I can't persuade you! Saying that, he was such a big man, he actually covered his face and cried.

When Jinye waited for it, he immediately got up and walked over, stretched out his hand and patted Xu Shilang's shoulder in fear, and said, "Lord Xu, don't be like this!" As he spoke, he turned his head, glanced at Xu Xian and said, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Why don't you help your dad go back? Do you really want to be angry with him? ”

Xu Xian stood there dumbfounded. There was no sadness on his face, and he said in a flat voice: "Dad, when are you going to pretend?" You've got pepper on your sleeve, don't you think I don't know? ”

As soon as the words fell. Jin Ye Hou obviously saw that Xu Shilang was stiff.

"This ......" Kazuba Hou was a little dumbfounded, what the hell is going on?

Xu Xian stepped forward and looked low

The head of his own father said slowly: "Dad, my son is just depressed, and he wants his teacher to accompany me to drink a few glasses of wine, and it's not a big deal, why do you have to do it like a catastrophe is coming?" What can I do here? ”

Xu Shilang was speechless, and it took a long time before he slowly raised his head, and there were no tears on his face: "But the doctor said that you are not allowed to drink......

"I'm not allowed to drink a lot. It's not that you can't drink it. Xu Xian said lightly: "Dad, do you think that I don't remember the doctor's words?" ”

Xu Shilang was speechless when asked, and finally sighed and said, "Okay!" If you have to stay here and drink, then my father will accompany you! ”

"Forget it." Xu Xian said lightly: "You can pour a cup, and then you must sleep for a day and a night, is it possible that our father and son are going to stay in the Hou Mansion today?" What are you drinking with the two of us? ”

When Xu Shilang heard this, his face flushed with shame: "You are talking nonsense!" When do I pour a cup? ”

When Jin Yehou heard this, he laughed out loud: "Xu Shilang, who in the whole capital doesn't know your reputation for pouring this cup?" Okay, okay, you don't pretend, let's go back first! I am waiting to accompany Linglang to have a few drinks, you can rest assured, I promise that he will not get drunk, and there will be no accidents, and I will personally send him back after drinking, how about it? ”

The words have come to this point, if you refuse again, you won't give Jinhou face. Xu Shilang couldn't, so he had to sigh and say, "Okay! Just let you drink here, it's better to drink you to death! As he spoke, he glared at his son hatefully, turned around and strode out.

His son could drink and gossip, but he couldn't! As an official of the imperial court, he has a lot to do.

……

In Haitang Garden, when Gu Yuetong heard that the Xu family's father and son had come to the door, her face showed an excited expression: "Great! That's great! After waiting all these days, they finally came to the door! As she spoke, she turned her head and asked Gu Xiaoye, "Brother, have Prince Lian's people arrived?" ”
