Yuansheng is the word, that is, the champion Gu Taiyi in the early years of Changtai, Gu Taiyi was not angry with Xue Zi and came to the door to "ask for advice" when he was angry that there was no one to marry in the world, but in the end he was impressed by Xue Zi Yan's talent, at this time, Gu Taiyi was not married, and Xue Zi was not married, it was a man and a woman, many people in the imperial capital, including Xue Bai, were also happy to see it, there were originally a few gate valves who also wanted to recruit Gu Taiyi as a son-in-law, and they also put their minds down to see it.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the two became gentlemen's friends, Gu Taiyi married the daughter of a family of poets five years later, and the sea of eunuchs had several ups and downs, about a year before Su Ruhui entered the palace, he was released to become a local magistrate, and it was not long ago that he was still resigned, and it was common to bring some specialties to Xue Zi to visit secretly.

However, when it comes to Gu Taiyi, it is difficult not to remind Su Ruhui of Gu Liancheng, she knows that her master is like a forest, and she does not hide it, so she asked generously: "Speaking of Uncle Gu, master, senior brother is coincidental, and he has the same surname as uncle." ”

Gu Taiyi and Xue Zidian are friends, Su Ruhui is Xue Ziyan's registered disciple, this voice of the master is called, Xue Zidian listened, and really did not get angry, nodded and said: "It's nothing to tell you about this matter, this senior brother of yours was originally sent by your Gu Shibo, he was assassinated in the place, a loyal subordinate desperately rescued him, and entrusted his only son to your uncle before he died, which is Liancheng." ”

Su Ruhui didn't expect that she would ask such a secret when she was curious, and said strangely: "Oh? Then why didn't Uncle Gu keep him by his side, but asked to transfer it to the master? "Gu Taiyi was born in the Gu family of Hongzhou, and he can be regarded as a big family, he was the first in the middle of the young man, and his wife was born in a family of poets, he is very virtuous, plus Gu Liancheng's father has a life-saving grace for him, Gu Taiyi is not in distress and can't afford to support a Gu Liancheng, how can he transfer this life-saving benefactor to others to take care of?

"One is that Liancheng is talented and intelligent, although your Uncle Gu is not bad at writing, but as an official of the imperial court, he is busy with government affairs and has no time to give detailed instructions, but I have to be much more leisurely; The second is that you, the senior brother, have changed his surname. Xue Zi said lightly as if he had planned to tell her a long time ago, "What is his original surname, it has a lot to do with it, you don't have to ask more, even the master and me, in fact, I don't know." ”

How sensitive is Su Ruhua? Immediately realized Gu Liancheng's life experience, but he was afraid that it was not very simple, so he was immediately silenced, and he didn't wonder why he only heard that he had such a senior brother after entering the palace.

However, Xue Ziyan continued to talk about the topic: "Since you mentioned it, I would like to tell you a few words, you are the daughter of the Su family in Qingzhou, the royal wife in the future, not surprisingly, for most women in the world, it also has a great future." ”

"Master, please command!" Su Ruhui said solemnly.

"There is nothing to tell or not to command, I have been arbitrary all my life, and the ancestor of the Xue family is not to force everything, so it is also a reminder, if you are convenient, you can do it, even if it is inconvenient, you don't have to worry about it-I have no children and no daughters under my knees, only you and Liancheng two apprentices, although you are only a registered disciple, but my registered disciple is only you. So in the future, when you have difficulties with each other, you can help each other. Although Xue Zidian said that he was admonishing, his tone was light, and he was not very relieved.

However, Su Ruhui looked at her nose and her nose, and she responded seriously, and replied: "Master, here, I still want to ask about something." ”

"Oh?"

"When I first entered the palace, I was demoted to the Chunsheng Hall of Qiongtong Palace because of a mistake, and I heard a poem sung by a former concubine in the present, the lady named Yinghua, who seemed to have seen it here from the master." When Su Ruhui said this, she had already seen Xue Zi frowning: "What poem?" ”

Su Ruhui probably said the verses he had heard according to his memory, and Xue Zidian frowned as soon as he heard the sentence "Strings among the flowers", and said: "I already know, at the end of the sixteenth year of Changtai, there was indeed an edict in the palace, asking me to fill in the words for today's favorite concubine, but I have always been impatient with this kind of entertainment, so let Dongji deal with it in front, and I took my fair lady and my fair lady from the back door to the courtyard outside the city to live temporarily!" ”

"So those sentences weren't written by the master?" Su Ruhui was surprised and said, "Why is there a master here?" ”

"I still have to mention Yuansheng in this matter." Xue Zi frowned secretly and said, "Not long after Dongji sent the people in the palace away, he happened to come here, heard the news, and said to Dongji, I love Mrs. Yinghua today, and even the Queen Mother is helpless, I am afraid that I will be in trouble, so I borrowed my study to write a few rhetorical notes, and let Dongji send them to the palace in my name!" It's just that he knows my nature. Son, I didn't dare to use my private seal, so I didn't spread it! Hmph, if it is rumored that I wrote for a palace concubine who was favored because of sex, Yuansheng will never want to come to my door in the future! ”

Su Ruhui showed a strange expression: "Uncle Gu actually ...... How can you make such a gentle and tactful tune? ”

"Hongzhou is Jiangnan, Jiangnan is ......" Xue Zi smiled faintly, talented women of all dynasties, singing and graceful, but Xue Zi is dark, her poems and paintings have always been pleasant and quiet, with nature, into the world, but transcendent in the world.

This kind of open-mindedness without sorrow is rare even among men. This is only a family like the Xue family, which has been scholarly and clear for generations, and has been contaminated with enough forest atmosphere, to be able to raise such a daughter. Of course, Xue Bai is extremely fond of his only daughter, even if he is disappointed that the Xue family has ceased to exist since Xue Ziyan, he has never forced his daughter to marry, and the Xue family's reputation in Shilin, the scarcity of people, and the huge family property left by Xue Bai allow Xue Zidian to live her life without restraint and worries.

Therefore, Xue Ziyan was not very interested in Jiangnan, which was sung infinitely by literati.

Naturally, Gu Taiyi, who made sentences such as "The frost falls on the grass and trees in the south of the Yangtze River, and the west wind is steep" and then "It is said that sorrow can hurt people and make my heart grow old", still used Xue Zidian's name to make Xue Zidian somewhat unhappy. However, Xue Zidian has always been careless, although he felt that this matter was detrimental to his name, but he also knew that Gu Taiyi thought about it for himself, and he said it.

"Does the master know who Lady Sakura is? I was very curious in the palace, since this lady was so popular today, how could she say that she was crazy? Seeing that she had already asked here, Su Ruhui simply pulled the master's sleeve and continued to ask.

In fact, when she was at home, she also asked her parents about Mrs. Yinghua, and when this lady was lucky, Su Ruhui was not born yet, so naturally she didn't know anything. However, Su Wanhai and An didn't say anything, no matter how much this Yinghua lady was favored at the beginning, now that people have been crazy for so many years, what is there to inquire, it is a loss to accidentally damage the Su family's manpower.
