When Mrs. Lou mentioned Zhong Qi, Shen Li naturally remembered what Gu Yun had said when she had a heart-to-heart relationship with her that night. But now Mrs. Guanlou's expression is subtle, and she thinks that Gu Yun said it implicitly that day.

"I did hear the eldest prince mention this." She took a sip of the teacup and turned sideways to look at Mrs. Lou. "My sister specifically mentioned her, but do you still have something to explain?"

Mrs. Lou was silent for a while, her eyebrows tightened imperceptibly, but she quickly recovered her expression and said with a smile: "Childe must have already mentioned it briefly, and I mentioned this just to let Mrs. have a preparation." ”

This is obviously something to say, but it is bumpy because of what is concerned. can make a cool person so entangled, and if she doesn't say it, it may be in her way.

Thinking of this, Shen Li said with a smile: "Even if my sister has something to say, even if there is a difficulty, my sister only remembers it in her heart after hearing it, and no one else will know." ”

Mrs. Lou sighed, "If I don't listen to what I say, Mrs. will just listen to it." It's just that I was entrusted by someone, and Mrs. Yu really didn't have any big problems, but I couldn't push it down before I could accept it. Madame must also know about the situation in the Southern Regions. Your status is special, and there are many people who secretly want to take advantage of this. Zhong Qi has such a temperament, and he is the Zhong family. The bright ready-made guns will never let go of those who have a heart. With Madame's intelligence, she must have expected it. So I have to mention this sentence more, which is about Zhong Qi. Although she has a bad temperament, she has one thing: she is by no means the kind of person who secretly wields a knife. ”

Shen Li felt a touch of interest in his heart, and a broken shadow flashed in his eyes, but he was a little curious about the person who could talk about the young lady of the building. "Madame wants me to beware of someone borrowing a knife to kill people the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes." Mrs. Lou smiled bitterly, "Speaking of which, I won't hide it from Mrs. Lou." I've been in the Southern Regions for more than two years, but I don't have much contact with people when I go out. One is my identity, and the other is that I am stubborn and impatient to deal with people. Therefore, there are not many of these ladies in the Southern Regions who are close to me, and they can still go on a blind date with each other. It's just the only one that is limited, but it just happened to enter the door of the Zhong family. The palace is now getting farther and farther away from the Zhong family, and the prince has persuaded me a lot. But I'm used to it, when I was a child, and I can't change it when I'm older, and I hope my wife won't blame me for this. ”

The Zhong family? Shen Li remembered Gu Yun's evaluation of the Zhong family, and couldn't help but be curious: "I don't know which young lady of the Zhong family is it?" She said and added seriously: "My sister told me not to be surprised, but I want to say that I am also a person with the same temperament as my sister." If you don't say well at the banquet the day after tomorrow, you will have a few quarrels, and my sister will tell me in advance, so that I won't hurt my own people when the time comes. ”

Mrs. Lou propped up the table and laughed, and the Nanzhu hanging from her eyebrows swayed as if she was about to fall. "I really didn't see the wrong person, Madame is indeed worthy of my old reputation for a few years." She turned over and whispered to Shen Li: "My surname is Li, I am the heart of the Li family, and my name is Xinyue." However, here, only the last word 'Yue' is taken. If the lady does not abandon me, she can call me by her name. As for the one who asked me to intercede, she is the third grandmother of the Zhong family's room and the daughter-in-law of the third son. ”

Mrs. Lou reported her girlfriend's name, and Shen Li had the heart to make friends, so she naturally wanted to repay the favor. "Sister Yue kept saying that she would treat me as a confidant, but her words were still very polite. My name Sister Yue knows, and the words are a little strange. My elders gave me a smooth life, so I was called 'easy'. ”

This is more than surprising, it is simply unheard of. Li Yue's eyes widened in surprise, and after a long while, he said: "Although I haven't heard such a statement from anywhere else, I can see from it that my sister is an elder." In this case, I will call you 'Sister Rong' in private in the future." ”

"Of course."

Sister Rong, Shen Li involuntarily bent the corners of his mouth. unintentionally matched Uncle Rong's surname, which made that private dependence almost have a fair and honest reason.

However, when it comes to the Zhong family's room, although Shen Li doesn't remember anyone's name, she still carefully kept an ear for the Zhong family. The Zhong family is now supporting Zhong Yuan of the long house, but Wu Qian said that Gu Yun appreciates Zhong Yuan, the concubine of the long house, a little more.

Thinking of Gu Yun's attitude and Wu Qi's words in front of her, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Mrs. Lou, and said, "I understand what my sister said before, sister, put your heart back in your stomach, I have my own conclusion, and I will never teach my sister to be embarrassed when the time comes." ”

The two of them talked again, and waited until noon to eat the restaurant before the lady said goodbye and left.

At the beginning of the third day, Qingxing got up early to freshen up and divided into two groups. One went to the inner courtyard to serve the two masters to freshen up their clothes, and the other went to the hanging flower gate to check the carriages and horses.

Gu Yun had already gotten up in the house, and when they brought in the hot water, they went to the ear room to freshen up first. Shen Li had been busy preparing for various ceremonies in the house on the evening of the 15th yesterday, and he didn't even have time to drink saliva without touching the ground. I also rested late at night, and I was awakened for a long time and was a little dazed and couldn't wake up.

The water-red silk shirt was properly attached to the owner, and it shone softly under the lamp. The beauty star's eyes were half-open, as if she had not woken up, Gu Yun turned the screen and just saw Shen Li's appearance, he restrained the throbbing in his heart, and pasted the other party's forehead with his hand that was still steamy just now. "Hurry up, there's still a lot of trouble in the future. You have to eat something to cushion your stomach, otherwise your body won't be able to hold it. ”

Shen Li rubbed his hand in a daze, and when the coolness spread down her forehead to her mind, she suddenly woke up to what she had just done. Dignified and reserved, with a "boom", her face instantly became much redder than the red candle on the desk.

She quietly raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yun, who had already turned her back and walked towards the shelf. It's just that there is obviously a smile in his voice. "Get up first, I'll go and wring a handkerchief for you to clean your face."

Shen Li didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly got up with his embroidered shoes.

The grooming of the two of them, when Gu Yun is there, they never need to be served. Therefore, Qing Xing and the others only prepared the clothes they were going to wear over there and put them on the incense cage to smoke, and then took out Shen Li's makeup box and prepared the jewelry to be used later.

After a busy time, Dongfang was already a little pale.

Yinglan put the breakfast she ate in the morning one by one on the small round table from the food box, and set up the dishes and chopsticks lightly. "Newly made duck porridge with apricot cheese and bird's nest pigeon egg soup in the kitchen. There are just a few drops of oil juice in it, and the flavor is not greasy, so the master can rest assured that he can use more. ”

Shen Li personally served Gu Yun a bowl of soup, and joked with a smile: "Haven't you finished eating those ducks sent by Zhuangzi yet?" How can I look at the ingredients in the past few days revolving around this? ”

"It's already run out, and there is only one soup today. The seven or eight-year-old duck is stewed very deliciously. said that my uncle liked it, so I had to go to this for a few days at this time of year. Yinglan also laughed back on the side.

Gu Yun lowered his head and slowly drank a bowl of soup, and then said with a little smile: "It's all the hearts of a few old people in Zhuangzi, and it's like this every year." If you don't like this, ask them to bring something else. ”

"I'm fine, I'm not too picky. As long as it is cleaned up and does not have those fishy smells. Shen Li drank a small half bowl of porridge and a bowl of soup and put down his chopsticks, "This apricot cheese and duck porridge are chic, Brother Yun, you use it more." ”

After the two of them finished breakfast, they rinsed their mouths before they got up and let Qingxing serve and change their clothes.

Gu Yun was dressed in a robe embroidered with dark gold threads and unicorns, covered with a water-colored silver silk embroidered pleated shirt, and the middle coat inside only exposed a bright white silver silk collar. He is extremely tall, his complexion is also white, and his temperament is already dignified, plus a bundle of gold crowns and jade belts, which makes him even more imposing.

Shen Li gave him a trim on the side and handed over the collar of his middle coat, and then took the jade pendant and other pendants held by Qing Xing and tied them to him personally. "Later, I went to the banquet to drink less, you came back from drunk last time but you were uncomfortable for two days in a row."

"Hmm." Gu Yun nodded in response, and added after a while: "Okay." ”

The morning's work passed in just a few moments, and the carriage swayed along the way, and Shen Li almost fell asleep. Fortunately, I still remembered the importance of today's scene, and drank several cups of strong tea through Gu Yun's hand in one go, and I was in better spirits.

When I entered the second wall gate of the plum garden where the festival was held today, I could already see the people standing outside with their hands hanging down from the gap in the curtain.

Gu Yun leaned over, gathered the cloak for her, and twisted it on her hand, his eyes were gentle, "I'll go first, if something happens at the table, let them find someone to find me in the front yard." ”

Shen Li nodded, she didn't feel anything at first, but when Gu Yun turned around and was about to get off the carriage, she suddenly had a ray of panic, and before she could react, she had already stretched out her hand and grabbed the corner of Gu Yun's clothes.

Gu Yun turned around and saw the panic flashing on her face, and she couldn't help but soften in her heart. "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything." As he spoke, he suddenly felt a little relieved, thought about it and said to Chang'an, who was waiting outside through the curtain: "Go and see if the carriage from Yunfu has arrived?" ”

Outside, Chang'an hadn't replied, and there was already a hearty voice that said with a smile: "Mrs. Yun and I have arrived, just wait for the eldest prince to bring Sister Shen over." ”

As soon as Shen Li heard it, he knew that it was Li Yue's voice, and then heard that Mrs. Yun had also arrived. Instantly ignoring the previous panic, he hurriedly pushed Gu Yun, pointed outside, and said urgently: "Let's go out quickly, don't let the third aunt and Sister Yue wait for a long time." ”

The corners of Gu Yun's mouth curved, countless soft lights flashed in his inky black eyes, and he first lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage and personally helped Shen Li get out of the carriage.

The middle-aged woman standing next to Mrs. Lou was about forty years old, wearing a silver-red gauze shirt, a twinkle green gauze gown, a rose-red single gauze skirt, and blue high-soled flower shoes. The face is dignified and elegant, and there is a sense of peace when looking at people. Seeing Shen Li looking over, he nodded and smiled at her.

Li Yue stepped forward to hold Shen Li's hand first, and quipped: "Fortunately, I am smart and know that our eldest prince is reluctant to let Mrs. go in alone, so I have invited Mrs. Yun San to come over and wait early." ”

Gu Yun stepped forward to greet Mrs. Yunsan, and Shen Li also hurriedly met Mrs. Yunsan's gaze and walked over to straighten up and said, "Niece and daughter-in-law Shen have seen the third aunt. ”

Mrs. Yun San helped her up with one hand and pulled Gu Yun with the other. The two sides looked at it, and then said softly: "It's all a family, there is no need to be so polite." I heard Yunkai talk about Ah Li a long time ago, and when I saw it today, I knew that Yunkai was really blessed. As she spoke, she took a Nanmu brocade box that had been prepared long ago from the maid next to her and handed it to Shen Li. This is a little bit of heart to be an elder, and Ali must not dislike it. ”

Shen Li hurriedly took it respectfully with both hands, and thanked him again: "What my aunt rewarded must be the best." It's too late for the nephew and daughter-in-law to be grateful, how can they dislike it. ”

A pair of watery eyes under the curved eyebrows, and a soft smile on the dough face. The rhetoric should be neither humble nor arrogant, both dignified and generous, with the squeamishness of a child. Mrs. Yun San nodded in her heart, and glanced at Gu Yun with a sideways smile. "Ah Yun go to the front hall first, don't make the host and other distinguished guests wait for a long time."

Gu Yun respectfully agreed, and then arched his hand and said, "Then Yunkai will take the first step, and Ah Li will entrust it to his aunt and Mrs. Lou." ”

"Okay, you can go with confidence. Take care of your third uncle, and don't let him be poured a lot of wine again. ”

"Yes, aunt." The hour was indeed a little late, and Gu Yun didn't want to delay any longer, so he had to look at Shen Li again and take Chang'an to the front yard.

Mrs. Yun San waited for Gu Yun to leave, then she turned around and took Shen Li's hand and comforted: "It's okay, there will be an aunt later, don't worry." ”

Shen Li was a little embarrassed and lowered his head slightly. "Alley knows."

Li Yue was holding the hand of Mrs. Yun San on the other side, and when she saw this, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's just something, and it's not a matter if the eldest prince is here." Let's go in first, I saw Grandma Zhong over there leading someone to greet her. ”

Mrs. Yun San and Shen Li turned around, and sure enough, they saw a bunch of people coming from the corridor over there. She turned around and patted Shen Li's hand, and said softly, "Let's go." ”
