Zhong Yuan was a very beautiful young man, and his appearance perfectly combined all the advantages of his mother and father. Judging from the facial features alone, in Li Yue's words, he can be regarded as the most beautiful man in the Southern Regions.

But he is still not very valued by the Southern Regions scholars, because when the world judges a man, family, ability, communication, etc., will be ranked in front of his appearance.

And because of his mother's relationship and his own silent personality, Zhong Yuan's positive popularity is not high in the circle of the younger generation in the Southern Regions;

Someone mentioned, at most, one sentence: Is it the son born to that barbarian woman? I heard that it looks like the Oiran in the Italian building is even more beautiful, but it's a little wooden, and it looks like a piece of wood.

With such a sneering and obscene humor, it is difficult to tolerate any son of a family, even if his background is not obvious.

But Zhong Yuan is an exception, he seems to be indifferent to all judgments from the outside world, whether good or bad.

In the previous life, Gu Yun almost never paid attention to Zhong Yuan's existence at this stage, and others never mentioned this young man in front of him, and occasionally talked about the generation of the Zhong family, at most, he sighed at the two brothers who couldn't help him. It wasn't until the three families were in trouble and the Zhong family was forced to retreat that Zhong Yuan suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

He took over the burden of the Zhong family, which was close to ruin, drastically cut all the unnecessary expenses of the Zhong family, cut off the people who should be in the dead place one by one, and did his best to turn a dilapidated family that was declining day by day into a profit.

To this day, Gu Yun still remembers the young man back then, standing in front of him with his eyebrows lowered but extremely firm, begging him to give the Zhong family another chance.

"Anyway, it's already at the bottom, even if the son of the world fails, he just continues to stay at the bottom. So why not break the kettle and gamble with the prince. ”

Zhong Yuan had been standing in the study for a while, and this was the second time he had seen Shizi. Before this, the son of the world was unmatched by him.

After all, in Zhongfu, as long as he is a subordinate with a good face, he can give him three points of face. If it weren't for the Lou family marrying his daughter to him, maybe his situation would be even more embarrassing today.

Gu Yun pointed to the stool below, "Feel free to sit." He stopped what he was doing and sat down across from Zhongyuan. I want you to come, I think you already know. ”

Zhong Yuan wanted to get up and arch his hand to answer, but Gu Yun raised his hand and pressed it. "You don't have to be so formal, just talk casually."

"Yes, Shizi." Zhong Yuan answered honestly, secretly glanced at Gu Yun again, and said in a low voice: "My mother said, let me obey the call of the son." ”

Gu Yun smiled, "What about yourself?" I want to hear your own thoughts, not the opinions of the elders behind you. You must know that it is not necessarily a good thing for you to give up Zhong Yuan and use you in Zhong Mansion. It may also cause bad consequences for you and your mother. ”

The current Zhong Yuan is not as calm as the future generations, although the eyebrows and eyes are always depressed, but also vaguely childish.

But Gu Yun has never been a person who judges people by his appearance, since Zhong Yuan can support the Zhong family in a disadvantage ten years later, he also wants to see what surprises this young man can give him if he supports him more ten years ago.

The situation in the Southern Regions is like an underground river, and what he lacks most in his two lives is auxiliary talents;

Zhong Yuan was visibly nervous, his hands tightly twisted together, but his back was still straight. "I ...... I'm also willing, I want to follow the son of the world and learn more. It doesn't matter in the house, they can just say if they want to, just ignore my mother and I. ”

"Aren't you afraid that others will stumble you because of jealousy?" How big the pattern of the Zhong family is, Gu Yun has gone through two lives, and he knows better than anyone else.

Zhong Yuan mustered up the courage to raise his head and said seriously: "Don't be afraid, Taigong said that as long as I do my own thing, the rest will be dispatched by his own old man." ”

Yes, the old lady of the Zhong family. Gu Yun precipitated his mind and remembered the white-haired old man.

"Shizi, I invite you here with a shy old face, I can't help it. The juniors in the family have no way to fulfill it, and I am powerless to restrain it, and I dare not hope that the son of the world will always raise his noble hand. I just implore the son of the world to see that our two families have been intersecting from our ancestors to the present; If the Zhong family makes any unforgivable mistake one day, the prince can forgive the innocent back of the Zhong family. ”

He knew that in a year and a half at most, the respected old lady of the Zhong family would pass away, and the Zhong family also began to collude with the Wei family after the old man passed away.

If it weren't for the limited pattern of the Zhong family and the excessive greed of the Wei family, maybe he would have been defeated under the conspiracy of these two families in his previous life, not necessarily.

Wei Hezhi, Gu Yun couldn't help but think of this person again. The other party stepped into Qingzhou more than ten years in advance, and the situation he planned was naturally very different from his previous life.

"Mrs. Wei is a very respectable elder." Gu Yun finally broke the silence and said warmly,

Zhong Yuan nodded: "Taigong is very good to me. He said and added, "Except for my mother, I am the best person in the family to me." ”

For this old lady of the Zhong family, Gu Yun gave enough respect, and the solemn expression just now couldn't help but become gentle again. Although the old lady can't educate people, she has a very good eye for recognizing people. In his previous life, before he died, he specially asked him to entrust the younger generation, and there was a little-known wish. Even, he made a special mention of the Wei family. Let him be extremely careful with the Wei family. It's a pity that although he listened at the time, he didn't pay much attention to it.

"In that case, then you will be by the side of the child in the future. Although he has a detached temperament, he is very disciplined in doing things, and he has a lot of dealings with the family. With him by your side, you can learn faster and better. I hope you will live up to the old lady's wishes and take on a big responsibility as soon as possible. ”

Zhong Yuan's eyes were red, and there was a glint in his dark eyes. "Yes, Zhong is willing to live up to the expectations of the world."

"Go ahead, Chang'an will teach you how to contact the child in the future."

The room was silent again, and I don't know how long it took, Gu Yun, who had closed his eyes and recuperated, was in the cold air of the room, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

Someone's skirt fluttered on the bluestone bricks, and a heavy fur-collared cloak was gently covered on his body.

The sleeves with the medicinal fragrance brushed past him, and when he was about to pull away, Gu Yun suddenly reached out and grabbed the other party's delicate wrist.

"Why don't you speak?" The inky black eyes opened, enveloping Shen Li, who couldn't dodge.

Shen Li struggled, but couldn't twitch out of his palm, so he had to lean forward with his strength. "I sent Sister Yue out of the house, and I just happened to see Chang'an. Knowing that Zhong Er Gongzi had left, he stopped by to see if you were still busy. ”

Gu Yun unveiled the cloak and pulled Shen Li over and sat on the chair next to him. The cloak that was stained with his temperature also covered Shen Li's body.

"There's no underfloor heating here, so you don't get cold."

Shen Li stomped his feet lightly and said with a smile: "Since you know it's cold here, why don't you burn the floor heating." Anyway, our consumption is limited, not worse than the charcoal fire in a few rooms in the yard here. ”

Gu Yun smiled, and didn't refute her, but said: "The entire Eastern Courtyard is under your jurisdiction, if you want to, you can ask someone to burn it." ”

Shen Li glanced at him and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly. "If I really let people burn it, will you dislike me for having nothing to do."

"How, you're my wife. Isn't it a legitimate thing for a wife to interfere in her husband's food, clothing, housing, and transportation? Gu Yun said with a straight face.

Shen Li withdrew his hand with a hot face, forcibly suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and said uncomfortably: "Then burn it, after all, you are not the only one here." If the weather is colder, if it is as old as Heyi, it is fine, if the elderly come here to talk to you, it will be easy to freeze out after staying for a long time. ”

"Okay, it's up to you." Gu Yun saw a layer of crimson on Shen Li's face, and hurriedly took the initiative to divert the topic and asked, "What did you talk about with Young Mrs. Lou, the look on your face is much better." ”

Only then did Shen Li think of the business of the past few days, she hesitated and secretly looked at Gu Yun, the question in her heart, struggling back and forth between saying and not talking.

Gu Yun sighed lightly, a gentle brilliance in his eyes. "It's easy, it's okay, tell me when you want to talk about it. I have another thing to say to you. ”

Shen Li temporarily pressed his thoughts, sat upright and said, "What is the matter?" ”

"Remember when I mentioned the Wei family to you before?"

"Remember, you said that the Wei family has a big plan." Shen Li's mind in the past few days has been all revolving around these four families, so as soon as Gu Yun mentioned the Wei family, she immediately responded.

"The Wei family has already been dispatched." Gu Yun's voice was already mellow, but there were few emotions mixed in it in the past, but now when he faced Shen Li, he always brought some tenderness.

Shen Li's heart was shocked, and she suddenly remembered the person she met in Kunyun Pavilion in the Bright Moon Flower Room that day. It seems that when the uncle of the Zhong family called him "Wei Hezhi", then he was one of the candidates for the Wei family's dispatch this time?

"In addition to the second and third masters who have always been in the diplomatic world, they also sent one of the most outstanding among the young generations, the fifth prince of Wei Hezhi."

It's him, Shen Li was stunned. If it is true that the Wei family has a great plan, and Wei Hezhi is the leader of the younger generation, then three years ago in Tongzhou, what did this Wei Wugongzi want?

She remembered the hearty debate and the dumbfounded Tongzhou scholars. Thinking that he had once formed an alliance with someone who was destined to become an enemy for the sake of a momentary mood, Shen Li couldn't help but laugh a little.
