Chapter 40: Who Is the Neighbor (6)
Wei Hezhi held a glass of wine and leaned in front of the window to look at the scenery downstairs.
The maids behind him replaced the old pots, and carefully cleaned the misty room just now, and when everything was cleaned up, they took the smoker and smoked the corners of the house one by one.
Feiguang passed the orderly maids, walked behind Wei Hezhi, and presented an invitation.
"Childe, Uncle Zhong has come over with a post and invites you to go to Juyuan to eat crabs in a few days."
"Hmph," Wei Hezhi glanced back and swept over the gorgeous post, "Let's put it aside, the Zhong family wants to play me like a monkey." The old ones don't come out, they want to stumble me with the small ones, and they don't see if Zhong Yuan is capable of this. ”
Feiguang didn't speak, what Gongzi said was right, the Zhong family is indeed holding both ends now. It's a pity that I don't want to think about it, whether it is the Gu family or his son-in-law, no one is a character who is watched as a dish.
"Find someone to keep an eye on Gu Jin, as well as the Yun family." Wei Hezhi's brows furrowed, "A group of things that are not enough to succeed and more than to lose, except for taking advantage of their mouths, they are useless. After so many years of tossing, even the foundation of the Yun family can't be cut. ”
Feiguang hesitated, "Why don't you let the second master and them use their strength to fight on the Yun family, let's get involved, in case the lady knows about it in the future, I'm afraid it will add to the suspicion." ”
Wei Hezhi's face instantly turned gloomy, the autumn wind on the river was fierce and fierce, and his clothes were hunting in the wind. I don't know how long it took, Wei Hezhi finally sighed helplessly. "Forget it, let's leave it alone. Let Jiangling speed up his actions, Lizhou is not a state capital, and nothing has been delayed until now. I supported him to take the position, not to listen to his grievances and solve the mess for him. ”
"Yes, Childe." Feiguang nodded and replied: "The subordinates immediately sent a message to Lizhou. ”
Wei Hezhi stopped talking, but still turned to look at the scenery outside.
After cleaning up the streamer of the house, he walked over and blessed him: "The slave has already cleaned the house, but let the kitchen prepare the heating pot now." ”
"No need, I don't have an appetite." Wei Hezhi put the wine glass back on the table, and his cold eyes stopped the streamer who was still trying to persuade him. He was about to open the curtain and go out, but stopped at the last moment. A flash of thought flashed in the phoenix's eyes, and the corners of the cold mouth suddenly hooked slightly. "I heard that the King of Zhennan is cooperating with the Zhong family on the mining of iron ore in Qizhou?"
Feiguang had already reported this matter before, and now that he saw Gongzi mention it again, he hurriedly said: "Yes, the king of Zhennan attaches great importance to this matter, and even the Mid-Autumn Festival with the eldest master of the Zhong family was spent in Qizhou." ”
Wei Hezhi smiled with interest, "Gu Shizi doesn't seem to have given Zhong Yuan a face in the Plum Garden this time, go and bring a message to the second master of the Zhong family, you can hug both ends if you want." But we can't let the Wei family be hot, and the Gu family will also have to make three points. Isn't that third lady of the Zhong family rumored to be the first beauty in the Southern Regions? I see that Gu Shizi has now obtained the canonization jade plate, and it should not be difficult to raise a lady in the mansion after the New Year. Anyway, the prince of Zhennan did the same thing back then, and the upward and downward effects were not considered to disgrace the reputation of the palace. ”
Feiguang rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Childe, Gu Shizi and that county lord have been married for less than three months, so it's not good for us to do this." Besides, that Gu Shizi doesn't look like a person who is greedy for women, otherwise he must have married the third lady of the Zhong family earlier, which round of marriage was given by the holy decree? Or ...... Let's ......"
He is the son of a family, and he grew up with Wei He since he was a child, and he is used to seeing how terrible it is for women to fight. The county lord was already pitiful, and was thrown out by the family to accept the marriage. If they still have a dislike for the son of the world because of the troublemakers behind their backs, how pitiful it is.
Wei Hezhi smacked Feiguang's forehead funny, "I can't see that you actually have a heart of pity and pity." Do as I tell you, don't worry, I won't harm the county lord of Luoyang. When he mentioned the county lord of Luoyang, his tone was unconsciously gentler, and there was a smile between his eyebrows.
Feiguang was about to say that he was pulled by the streamer who secretly looked at Wei Hezhi next to him.
"Yes, Childe, then let's go down and prepare first." The streamer dragged the still confused flying light and retreated together.
"Chrysanthemum crab fat autumn is thick", in the past, every year at this time, Yunzhuang always had to eat several meals of porcelain crab. But they are all raised by Zhuangzi, and no matter how big they are, they will not be so big.
When we arrived in the Southern Regions, we were close to the sea. Shen Li had only seen it for the first time, a sea crab the size of an adult man's face, and one could eat a full meal.
She has never been good at peeling crabs, and in the past, the people around her used to remove the crab meat for her, and she was only responsible for eating it.
Now that they have encountered such a big one, the group first got together and watched it lively.
Yinglan clapped her hands and smiled: "I used to see the book that said, 'Walking thousands of miles is like reading thousands of books.'" The slave and maid still couldn't figure it out, but now they realized that it really made sense. In the past, who could have thought that the shrimp and crabs in the river would be so big in the sea. ”
The black tree is using a tool to separate the meat from the crab shell and crab legs. Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh and said: "This is nothing, I used to hear the third master say that this kind of crab is not enough to put it in the sea and even stuff the teeth of the big fish, I heard that there is a fish that is bigger than our two or three yards together." ”
"There is a fish in Beiming, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. It has been recorded in ancient books for a long time, and it can be seen that the ancients were honest and did not deceive me. ”
Gu Yun just came out of the study and saw them sitting in the courtyard, waiting to eat the crabs that were busy in the hands of Wu Qi.
"Is the number of crabs enough, not enough to let the kitchen steam more."
The maids were busy giving him a salute, and Qingxing stood up and replied: "It's enough, it's enough, the slaves and maids haven't thanked the prince for his kindness." ”
"No need to be polite, you can use it for yourselves." Knowing that he is in the courtyard, everyone will definitely not be able to let go. Gu Yun helped Shen Li's shoulders and said softly to her, "I'll let the kitchen bring another drawer up, let's go into the house to eat." ”
Shen Li pursed her lips and smiled, the maids were still looking at them, she had to stand up according to his wishes. He also instructed Yinglan on the side, "Don't just eat crabs, remember to drink a few sips with rice wine." lest you eat too much, be careful that it is not good for your health. ”
"Yes, princess." Everyone bowed down.
Qingxing and Zi Mo followed them in, helping to set up the steamers, dishes, dipping sauces, and when they were about to peel crabs for them, Shen Li hurriedly stopped their movements, "Let's all go out and eat crabs with everyone, watch them, don't let you be greedy." ”
Qingxing hurriedly put down the tools and responded with a smile. "Then the slaves and maids went out first, and if the princess had something, she called the slaves and maids at the door."
"Well, go ahead."
When there was no one else in the house, Gu Yun cleaned his hands and began to dismantle crabs for Shen Li to eat. His fingers were slender and his joints were even, and his movements were much sharper than those of the black crooks.
Shen Li took a plate with a smile, dipped it in vinegar and fed it to Gu Yun with the first bite. "How's it going, how does it taste?"
"Very good." Gu Yun continued to dismantle the rest for her, and he didn't stop until he had dismantled a full plate. The crab is cold, even if there is rice wine warm, Shen Li's body can't eat much. Although he felt pity, he would never dare to joke with her body.
Shen Li lowered his head and ate seriously for a while, and when he saw that Gu Yun was just silently peeling crabs on the side, he couldn't help but be curious: "The prince has nothing to say to me?" You didn't really come out to peel crabs for me? ”
Gu Yun looked at her suspiciously, then at the crab in his hand, and then chuckled: "Otherwise, it's easy to think?" ”
Shen Li touched his nose and put the chopsticks aside. "I thought the prince had something to tell me?"
Gu Yun paused, took the handkerchief and wiped his hands clean, and then said, "He Yi told you?" ”
"Well, he doesn't have bad intentions, don't blame him." After Shen Li finished speaking, he added stupidly.
"No, I'm relieved that he thinks so much about you." Gu Yun shook his head, "Otherwise, I'm always worried that I won't be able to take care of anything, but it will make you misunderstood." ”
Shen Li was inexplicably blushing by these words, and he was afraid that Gu Yun would see something, so he had to say lightly: "What misunderstanding can I have, am I the kind of person who is so sour and jealous in the heart of the prince?" ”
Gu Yun smiled lightly and took another glass of rice wine for her. "No, it's that I want to be jealous of me."
Shen Li almost choked on a glass of wine, she coughed a few times, and an indescribable information appeared in her heart, but she still tried to hold it on her face: "I really should have asked the maids outside to come in and see what kind of articulate people their sons are." ”
Gu Yun saw that her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were shining, and she couldn't help but move slightly. He stretched out his hand to probe the other party's forehead, which was already a little hot, and couldn't help but say helplessly: "I saw you drink something else, but you can still hold a few glasses." Why is rice wine such a mild wine, but you are so easy to get on it. ”
Shen Li grabbed his outstretched hand, smiled and pointed to the outside of the courtyard. "I've just had a few drinks outside, and it's sweet and mellow, and it tastes much better than what I've drunk before."
Gu Yun let her hold it, but fortunately she had already wiped it with a handkerchief before. He pulled Shen Li's chair a little, leaned over directly and hugged the person. "I know that the amount of alcohol is shallow, and I am greedy for a glass."
Shen Li hugged his hand and smiled happily, she remembered that today He Yi told him seriously, Gu Yun directly rejected the Zhong family's marriage proposal, and couldn't help but say: "Don't marry Zhong Qi, I don't like other hostesses in the East Courtyard." ”
Gu Yun's body was stunned, and the person in his arms smiled like a flower, with a natural coquettishness. He remembered the other party's desire to speak in his previous life, and an infinite hidden pain suddenly surfaced in his heart. Did she also look forward to him like this in her previous life, but because she couldn't tell him, she finally became discouraged when he went against her expectations.
He lowered his head and rubbed it against the warm forehead of the other man. "Well, I promise you that I will never marry anyone more."
Gu Yun carefully put Shen Li on the bed, and took off her shoes and socks to cover the quilt. Finally, he sat sideways in front of the window, looking at the other party's face that fell asleep in an instant, and he didn't know how long it was, but he finally let out a long breath.
The Zhong family's sudden resumption of the matter made him suspicious. After all, according to the previous agreement, once the holy decree arrives, all the previous negotiations between the two families will naturally be nullified.
With the arrogance of the Zhong family, if no one is around. Gu Yun would never believe it, they would be willing to send Zhong Qi in as a concubine. After all, this move is really useless except to add blockage to his backyard.
Gu Yun put down the heavy curtains, walked to the courtyard and called Qingxing and them to watch the situation in the room, and walked to the west courtyard.
When he went to the Falling Flower Pavilion, Gu Jin was playing against himself. The chess game is lonely, and the white son has been forced by the black son to retreat.
Gu Yun walked in, Gu Jin didn't look up, he was still staring at the chess pieces on the chessboard, and he didn't know whether he was thinking of a way to break the game for white chess, or he was making a last move for black chess.
Gu Yun looked carefully for a moment, picked up a chess piece and took a step, and the white chess, which was already a dead game just now, suddenly came to a dead end, and even faintly forced the black chess.
Gu Jin looked at it for a moment, and then threw all the black and white chess pieces in his hand into the basket. He looked up, his face half discouraged. "Big brother, you're finally here!" His face was a little pale, but his eyes were bright. "I've been playing this game on and off for three days, and today is supposed to be the last day, and it's almost time for the endgame. Big brother, you're really just here. ”
Gu Yun didn't answer his words, just stood over and sorted out the chess pieces one by one and put them in the chess box, and when he finished cleaning up the table, he sat down opposite Gu Jin. "Really? If it's so hard to solve, why don't you go to me for help? When I was a child, didn't I have to run across several yards to ask a word I didn't know? ”
Gu Jin was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "Big brother is too busy, if I bother you with this little thing in the past, it will make the people around my eldest brother angry." ”
"Ah Jin!" Gu Yun frowned and was about to speak.
"Shh Gu Jin smiled slightly, "Don't say it, just save the last bit of decency for me." Big brother, don't worry, I won't ask for anything, and I won't interfere with anything. I know the wind is about to move, and since the mountain is going to come, I'll go over to the sea. In short, I will never cause any trouble to my eldest brother. ”
The young man's voice was soft and soft, but with a sense of calm and strength. Gu Yun was a little stunned, in his previous life, he didn't find any clues at this time, so naturally he didn't have any friendship with Gu Jin. In this life, he hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Gu Jin already knew his intention. He thought of Gu Jin in the pool of blood in his previous life, and strangely blended with Gu Jin who was still smiling at the moment, with the same smiling face and the same relief.
Gu Yun slipped through a wisp of panic in his heart for no reason, and quickly stretched out his hand to hold the other party's hand. A reassuring warmth spread along the hands of the two brothers to Gu Jin's side.
The other party raised his head in surprise and looked at his brother's hand in a trance.
"Did I tell you that as long as I am there for a day, no one will dare to bully you."
