Chapter 16 Waiting for Leisure to Change But People's Hearts

"Big brother?" Gu Jin swallowed the snack in his mouth, took another sip of tea, and then said slowly: "It's different from what we think, he wants to support Zhong Yuan and abandon Zhong Yuan." ”

Concubine Zhong's hand moved, "Zhong Yuan? The child of unknown origin in the big house? ”

"Yes." Gu Jin put the teacup aside, "The tallest one among the short ones is about to be the only one left." ”

Concubine Zhong sneered, "That's right, except for this, everyone else is selfish and cold-blooded." Seeing that Gu Jin was going to get the snacks on the plate, he hurriedly reached out and patted it open. Why do you eat so much, just pad your stomach. Now that your eldest brother has an idea, let's leave it alone. But do you have any plans for your marriage? Now that your eldest brother has become a relative, your father's eight achievements will make people look at each other for you. ”

"Mother looks at it, it's hard for me to have any ideas of my own." There was no superfluous expression on Gu Jin's face, and he would always be casual when he mentioned this matter. "Anyway, you can't make your own decisions, so you can choose whichever side your mother looks like."

Concubine Zhong laughed angrily at him, "It's not me marrying a daughter-in-law, what do you want me to do with a pleasing look." Originally, I also accepted my fate, my arms couldn't reach my thighs, anyway, you won't inherit the title, and the Yanjing noblewoman will marry if she marries. Who knew that as soon as you turned over, you would fall off with your big brother. Now it's a problem, can't you talk to the girl your eldest brother about it again? If you don't pick those, everything else will be less meaningful. Speaking of this, Concubine Zhong couldn't help but sigh, and she was a little stunned for a while.

Gu Jin leaned over, grabbed Concubine Zhong's sleeve and shook it. "If you really feel that there is nothing suitable, just pick one from the Zhong family, the old lady has also taken care of us a lot over the years. The eldest brother of the Zhong family has an arrangement, and it is difficult for us to move, but my eldest brother will not interfere. ”

Concubine Zhong's eyes were red, and she hurriedly slapped his hand away and wiped her face with a handkerchief. "Don't talk nonsense, kindness is kindness, what does it have to do with your family. As for the Zhong family, those who can help can help, and those who can't help depend on their respective lives. The building will not be able to be supported by a single tree, and the old lady knows it in his own heart. ”

Seeing her like this, Gu Jin hurriedly said, "I know, I know, but I'm young, and my mother has to palm my eyes first." When my mother is ready, I'll pick it again. ”

Concubine Zhong was coaxed by him to cry and laugh, and saw that Xiao Ju had already led the little maid to wait at the door with a food box, so she had to push it and said, "Go eat your meal, finish it early and go to rest early." Look at the way you frown, you know how busy you are these days. ”

The night is quiet, and the closer you get to fifteen, the fuller the moon becomes.

Shen Li woke up in a cold sweat again, the people around her were breathing slowly, she slowly turned around to look at Gu Yun's face in her sleep, and a line of hot tears suddenly rolled down to the pillow.

She had a vague bad feeling, and it was clear that everything was going in a good direction now.

Gu Yun was still asleep, but he felt a little uneasy. He reached out to grab the people nearby, but he didn't want to touch a wet hand. The drowsiness suddenly turned into clarity, and he hurriedly opened his eyes to look at Shen Li, "What's the matter, you have nightmares again?" ”

Shen Li just looked at him in a daze, and only after a while did he squeeze out a smile and say, "I don't know, I can't remember what happened in my dream when I wake up." ”

Gu Yun took her into his arms, but he felt uneasy in his heart. He was used to seeing these eyes, and he could feel the slightest change. That glance just now was almost the same as Shen Li's heartbroken eyes in his previous life. A conjecture faintly surfaced in his heart, remembering that Shen Li started to have nightmares on the day he woke up from the dream of his previous life.

If you make a bold guess, maybe God doesn't love him alone, or he sent him back along with Ali in his previous life.

The night was as cold as water, and both of them were preoccupied, and they didn't know how much sweat and cold sweat came out. Fortunately, time always flies, and after a few struggles, the night's work passes. Shen Li fell asleep in a blur in the middle of the night, and his spirits were quite acceptable when he came together in the morning.

A goose-yellow shirt with a hairpin decorated with hosta flowers. Shen Li looked at the mirror and smiled, "When I was a child, I looked at the dresses of those ladies, and I always thought that when I became a relative in the future, I must dress up more magnificent than them, but I don't want to say that it is magnificent, and now I feel troublesome to even wear a few more beads." ”

Qingxing said with a smile on the side: "It's okay to be so plain on a normal day, but the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is coming soon, and it is inevitable that you will have to socialize at that time, and you can't avoid it when the time comes." ”

Thinking of the various entertainments that were about to come, Shen Li had a headache. Woohoo sighed mournfully, "Let's steal half a day of leisure first, where can I manage so much." ”

"What's so much?" The two of them were talking and laughing, and Gu Yun opened the curtain outside and walked in. He hadn't slept well last night, and he was thinking about things again. After taking care of a few important things in the study outside, he immediately turned back inside.

Chang'an is a strict mouth, so naturally he won't say much. On the contrary, it was He Yi, who came in with him, and looked at him several times very strangely.

"I'm joking with Qingxing." Shen Li replied with a smile, and hurriedly instructed a few maids to set the dishes and chopsticks.

Gu Yun grabbed her, "Don't be busy yet." Then he said to Yinglan, who was waiting on the side: "Now it's cold outside in the morning and evening, and I'll go get a coat and put it on for my wife." ”

"Yes, uncle." Yinglan pursed her lips and smiled.

After a while, he took out an off-white big-sleeved shirt, Gu Yun took it and put it on Shen Li personally, and straightened the sleeve collar for her, and then said: "There will be many occasions outside in a few days, and the people who follow you are not enough." I asked He Yi to pick a few people who are familiar with this side for you, and if you don't know anything at that time, you can also take care of it. ”

Only then did Shen Li know that he had brought He Yi Lai, and hurriedly pushed him away and said angrily: "Why didn't you say it earlier after bringing He Yi Lai." ”

The Heyi outside is still dressed in simple regular clothes, standing honestly on the side of the east room, staring at Wutong with wide eyes.

Erxue at his feet hung the hem of his clothes hard, trying to climb up.

"Heyi is here, go and sit over there, and you can eat right away." She knew that He Yi was equivalent to Gu Yun's companion who grew up together, and her affection was very good, so she was very polite every time she saw her.

"Oh." He Yi lowered his head and thought about it, and took out an oiled paper bag from his arms. "This is for you, I got up early this morning to buy it, Lepingfang's silver fat horn." After he finished speaking, he handed it to Shen Li, but his eyes were still a little reluctant.

Shen Li hurriedly took it, and when he saw his expression again, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I'll let Yinglan pour it into the plate and eat it together later." ”

"Good. You try it, and if you like me, buy more next time. He Yi quickly responded, leaned over and picked up Erxue and walked to the west of the flower hall. He didn't take two steps before Sycamore jumped onto his shoulder.

Several maids exclaimed in unison, and they all looked at Shen Li hesitantly.

Shen Li smiled and shook his head to indicate that it was okay, and sat down with Gu Yun, who also came out, and said to He Yi, who had already sat down there to wash his hands: "Your eldest brother didn't say you were coming before, and he didn't prepare. You see if there is anything you like on the table, if not, I will let them go to the kitchen to make it. ”

After washing his hands, He Yi went to see the dishes on the table. He had actually secretly looked at it just now, but he didn't see it with a lid on it. The lid was lifted, and his eyes swept over a thought, and his eyes lit up immediately. Hearing Shen Li ask him, he immediately pointed to the dish and said, "This is very good, I like it very much." And that chicken noodles, I want to be wide too. ”

He speaks straightforwardly, and if he is more elaborate, he may feel very rude. Shen Li didn't care, she was fed up with other people's words, and He Yi was right about her temperament.

Gu Yun glanced at Heyi, couldn't see anything on his face, just said: "You don't see anything at all, just order what your sister-in-law likes to eat." ”

He Yi was looked at by him like this, and he didn't care. Very confidently, he picked up the plate of silver fat horns he brought and put it to Shen Li: "You taste it, this is delicious." ”

Shen Li didn't save his face, stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a piece to eat. The look on his face was stunned for a moment, and then he said happily: "This is a boneless chicken claw?" "Eat soft and glutinous in the mouth with a little crispy, the taste is sour and spicy, she has been in the Southern Regions for so long, and it is the first time she has eaten such a refreshing snack.

"Yes." He Yi nodded, and then looked at Gu Yun.

Gu Yun smiled and gave Shen Li a pair of chopsticks Huaishan. "Don't eat too much of this in the morning, if you like it, let He Yi buy you some every few days."

Shen Li picked up the piece of Huaishan and ate it slowly, and said with a smile: "Don't be like this, it's just a bite to eat, you don't have to bother so much." Later, let Chang'an go and buy a pack for Yinglan and them back, and when they study it thoroughly, they will know how to eat it, why bother to get up early and run every day. ”

He Yi drank the porridge seriously on the side, and interjected: "This is not available today, are they very good at cooking food in Yinglan?" ”

"Yes, we are in Yunzhou, and if we encounter anything delicious, we will let them eat it a few times, and they can make it when they go back." Shen Li said with a smile.

"Then I'll go again tomorrow, write a list of what you want to eat later, and I'll buy more tomorrow."

"Okay."

After the meal, Gu Yun took He Yi to the study in the east wing, and Shen Li took Qingxing to meet the new maids.

"Did Yunzhou reply?" As soon as he entered the study, Gu Yun asked.

"Nope." He Yi shook his head, "Last night, Mrs. Feng of the West Courtyard went to invite the second son a few times, but the second son shirked it. ”

"Well, keep an eye on Mrs. Feng. If the second son asks you for anything, you will arrange it for him. Gu Yun sat down and said, "Let Mr. Xun go to Yunzhou, no matter what method he uses, in short, meet Master Rongzhuang." It would be better if you could stay in the village. ”

"Yes."

"Also, hand over the bottle of medicine that Li Zhou sent back a few days ago to Xun Lao. Don't cut off the communication between the two sides, and report any disturbances in time. ”

"Okay."
