The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and every year in the Southern Regions, each family will take turns to hold some Mid-Autumn Festival banquets. This year, Gu Yun became a parent, and the king of Zhennan handed over the banquet from the palace to him and Shen Li to coordinate.

The list of such banquets is very particular, and often many wind directions can be seen from this. Whether or not to take you to play in the next year, or whether to play together again in the future, this list is a hint.

"Big brother, is this planning to give up the Zhong family?

"Why?" Gu Yun didn't answer the rhetorical question.

"The only thing the Zhong family has to use now is a Zhong Yuan, if the eldest brother is unwilling to go further, then the other families will definitely follow suit. The Zhong family has nothing to rely on in the future, but they are afraid of defeat in the past few years. Gu Jin sat on the chair at the bottom and said seriously.

"Didn't I invite Zhong Yuan here?" Gu Yun nodded at the table and said.

Gu Jin raised his body, thought about it, stood up and walked to the table and said, "Zhong Yuan and Zhong Yuan, others don't know, don't I know about the eldest brother and me." He sighed softly and said slowly: "This is the relationship between the eldest brother and me in the eyes of outsiders, the eldest brother suddenly pulled Zhong Yuan like this, not to mention whether Zhong Yuan is willing to accept this love, Zhong Yuan's hard work in front of him will be in vain." ”

"Little Kim." Gu Yun suddenly changed his name, with some tiredness between his eyebrows.

Gu Jin was stunned, this title of eldest brother had not been shouted for many years. This is the only secret of the two brothers, he didn't understand the meaning of the word back then, Jin and Jin, he felt that "gold" was more valuable, so he secretly ran to the main courtyard and said to Gu Yun, I will be called "Xiao Jin" in the future, and I want to be the most precious gold in my father's heart. He remembered that Gu Yun was so shocked by him that he even dropped the pen, although he was forced to accept it by him later, but he solemnly instructed him: This nickname can only be shouted by him, and he is not allowed to tell others.

"I did my best for Zhong Yuan's calculations before, and I never lied to Zhong Yi. But that doesn't seem to stop them from saying that I'm not helping enough. Gu Yun closed the official document he had reviewed, "I don't want to judge others with malice, but I am never afraid to meet the malice of others." We are close brothers, and we grew up together and had a different relationship with others. Ah Jin, in everything you do, I hope you remember this. ”

Gu Jin's expression froze, and then smiled slightly, "This is really embarrassing, my mother's yard will be blocked by people delivering letters these days." ”

"Then tell the door not to answer again." Gu Yun didn't pause much, and said directly.

"The Zhong family is a century-old family in the Southern Regions, even if it is not as good as before, the eldest brother should also figure it out slowly, why bother to take such a fierce medicine all at once." Seeing that Gu Yun was unmoved, Gu Jin had no choice but to say again: "Big brother, this is determined to support Zhong Yuan, but he is the son of a different race, even if he can stand out in the Zhong family in the future, he may not be the same as us." Although we don't need to give Yanjing much face, this country should always be the responsibility of the Zhennan Palace. ”

Gu Yun smiled and pushed the other notebook in Gu Jin's direction. "Look at it."

Gu Jin picked it up suspiciously, swept it quickly, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Nanban? But didn't that clan never show up in the Central Plains? ”

"I don't want to criticize the Zhong family in front of you, but you can see from this that the Zhong family has a big plan. The Wei family can't hold it back now, I can understand it, but I really don't know where the Zhong family relies on. Gu Yun stood up and opened the map on the shelf next to him. Xiao Jin, although the Gu family is a star arch guard, they are also lonely. The land of ten states can become a country, or it can become a bridge pedal. People's hearts are always insufficient, and our position is not easy to sit in, nor is it easy to walk. ”

Gu Jin put the notebook back, looked at Gu Yun back and forth carefully for a long time, and then smiled: "Can getting married really change a person?" I always feel that my eldest brother is very different today from before. ”

"Maybe." Gu Yun pointed at Qingzhou with his finger, "Xiaojin, can I ask you for a favor?" ”

Little by little, the sun was pouring until the last rays of light fell from the camphor trees outside. The cold wind outside blew one after another, Changping rubbed his hands, and turned Chang'an on the side with his elbow. "Brother, why do you say that our master can talk to the second son for so long? Even the two of us can't get close to the door of the study, we have to keep watch on this side of the courtyard. ”

Chang'an lowered his eyebrows and said: "It is estimated that it is the marriage of the second son, and now everyone is keeping an eye on it." The second son is only half a year old behind the eldest son, and it is time to discuss marriage. ”

"Does that need to be so secretive? It's not a big deal. Changping muttered,

"The master's arrangement, where is the turn of us to discuss. Just listen to whatever you say. Saying that, Chang An glanced at Changping again, "You have been talking a lot lately, I think you still don't talk with Changle and learn from his mouthy mistakes." ”

Changle made a bitter face, "Okay, Brother Changle also said today that he would go to West Street to eat a warm pot at night, brother, will you go?" ”

"No, you go." Chang'an paused, and said: "Remember to call Changfu, he is young, don't take him all the time." ”

"I know, that's my brother's most painful little brother." Changping grimaced, thought about it and said, "Then do you want to shout Brother Heyi, he is in the house now, although he doesn't go with us on weekdays, but this kind of food should not be refused." ”

"No, he doesn't eat what you like. If you really have a heart, go to him and bring back some duckbill crisp from Lepingfang. He has been so busy with the fire these days that he hasn't even had time to eat properly. ”

"Okay, custodian."

Autumn came late in the Southern Regions, and the leaves of the trees in the North began to turn yellow, but the South Regions were still lush and green.

Gu Jin, who had been with Gu Yun in the study for an afternoon, happened to see a green camphor leaf falling from the branch when he walked out of the door.

The fingers, white as mutton fat jade, caught the perfectly shaped leaf in the warm yellow light. "It's really autumn." There was a little sigh in the tone, and there was a little nostalgia.

He rolled up his sleeves and walked out quickly, smiling at Chang'an and Changping who were standing there as he passed by the gate of the courtyard.

The two of them saluted quickly, Gu Jin just smiled and waved his hand, and didn't say a few words of laughter to them as usual, and went straight to the west courtyard through the gate of the Yuedong Cave in the garden.

When he arrived at the West Courtyard, he didn't go back to his courtyard first, but went to Biwu Courtyard first. Concubine Zhong was sorting out the list under the lamp, and when she saw him come in, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Why have you been going for so long, have you eaten?" ”

"No, I came to eat here with you." Gu Jin threw himself on the couch to the side and sat down, took the teapot and poured several cups of water one after another to drink.

Concubine Zhong hurriedly asked the maid on the side to go out to prepare food for him, and said with a smile: "I still think that your eldest brother will keep you to eat, how can you look like this now, is it possible that your eldest brother didn't even give you a glass of water to drink?" ”

Gu Jin shook his head, "The eldest brother is now a close person, how can you use dinner with me." He pinched the snack on the table and took a bite, "I took a bunch of things again, and I really don't have the appetite to eat at my eldest brother's place anymore." ”

Concubine Zhong's expression paused, and she waved her hand at the other maids who were waiting on the side. "Go get some water for the second son, and then let Xiaoju add more dishes that the second son likes. Look at the oil, don't get too tired. ”

There were only the two of them left in the room in an instant, and Concubine Zhong took a handkerchief to wipe some crumbs for Gu Jin, "What did your eldest brother say?" ”
