Because of Gu Yun's words, Shen Li couldn't help but be a little more careful about Aunt Xu in his heart. She knew that this was wrong, but she still couldn't resist the blank trust in Gu Yun in her heart.

The sun was shining outside, and the two of them were sitting opposite each other on the porch drinking tea.

Next to it is a flower stand that Gu Yun specially asked people to build for Shen Li, using up all the skilled craftsmen and whimsical ideas, and now that it is a time when the flowers are bleak outside, the flower stand in this corner is still full of flowers and lush.

Aunt Xu took a sip of tea and looked at the scene in the courtyard with a smile. "The princess is so blessed, looking at this scene in your yard, you know how much the prince loves you."

The people who served in the courtyard, Shen Li asked the Wuqi and them to retreat early in the morning, and only Qingxing and Yinglan were left nearby. Aunt Xu's eyes slid over them, and finally stopped at the crystal clear cyan teacup in front of her.

Shen Li felt that it was not his own delusion, Aunt Xu's demeanor and expression today were really different from the last time she was in Plum Garden.

She didn't rush to speak, Gu Yun had the heart to contact the six princes from Concubine Hui, so she had to grasp a good degree in front of Aunt Xu. "Aunt Xu smiled." She unveiled a small steamer on the table, "Aunt Xu try this, it is a dim sum made by Yinglan Xinxue, and it is said that it is a recipe passed from Muzhou." ”

Her eyes looked at the plate of dim sum, but the corner of her eyes quickly swept over the look on Aunt Xu's face.

A flash of complexity flashed in Aunt Xu's eyes, but it quickly turned into astonishment. She stretched out her hand and pinched a piece of snack, held it to her mouth with a handkerchief and tasted it. After a while, Fang said: "The taste is really authentic, speaking of which, the slave maid has also eaten this before, and it was specially honored to the mother when His Royal Highness returned to Beijing." Niangniang is sympathetic to the people, and every time she gets it, she will always give some to the people below to try it. Unexpectedly, after many years of absence, I actually ate it again at the princess. ”

Shen Li smiled slightly, "I also heard the palace maid next to Niangniang mention in the palace before, although the sixth prince is away all the year round, he is a very filial person. Every ten days and a half months, I will always personally write a letter to my mother. Anyone who sees something new outside must collect a copy and send it back to the capital. ”

"yes." Aunt Xu spoke quickly, her voice was soft, and after speaking, her eyes looked at the plate in front of her again.

She probably thought that she was hiding it well, but Shen Li was a human being, so she could naturally see what kind of difference was hidden under the expression and voice that had no traces.

Shen Li suppressed the strangeness in his heart, "If my aunt likes it, I will ask Yinglan to tell the kitchen." Every now and then I will make you a little and send it to your yard. ”

"Then inherit the grace of the princess." Aunt Xu bowed to Shen Li and said softly.

"Auntie, don't be so polite, when I was in Beijing, I didn't make any jokes because of my mother's blessing. Now I don't dare to say that I want to repay my mother, but I always have to take care of my aunt for my mother. Shen Li smiled and said, "Your Majesty liked the Mid-Autumn Festival sent to Beijing by the prince before, so he rewarded a lot of things. The prince is about to hand over the fold of gratitude these days, and Aunt Xu has a letter to give to her mother. If so, I will ask the prince to send it with me. ”

Aunt Xu was stunned, and then smiled: "If it doesn't interfere with the prince's business, the slave really wants to write a letter to Niangniang." Not for anything else, it's just about the mother's body. Although there is no shortage of people to take care of in the palace, I have served my mother for decades, and I am always a little worried when I leave for a while. ”

"There's nothing in the way, it's just a convenient thing. The aunt went back today and sealed it after writing it, so that it could be sent before dinner. There will be a messenger early tomorrow morning, and they will be sent to the capital as soon as possible. ”

Aunt Xu hurriedly stood up and pleaded guilty: "In this case, the slave maid will retire first, and then send it to you in person after she finishes writing the letter." ”

Shen Li nodded, "Knowing that my aunt is in a hurry, I won't keep my aunt." As she spoke, she turned her head and instructed Yinglan, who was waiting next to her, "Pack the snacks in the steamer for my aunt and let my aunt take them back." ”

"Yes, princess." Yinglan quickly re-covered it with her hands and feet, and regardless of Aunt Xu's excuse, she just stuffed it into Aunt Xu's hands. "There are three of them, and my aunt should help me taste them. If you think it's delicious, I'll send more to my aunt when the time comes. ”

Aunt Xu had no choice but to take it, and owed to Yinglan again. "Thank you, Miss Yinglan, then I'm welcome."

In the courtyard, the golden sycamore leaves curled in the air, and the sycamore and Erxue were moving and jumping in the yard chasing the leaves that were about to land.

The corridor was quiet for a while, and Shen Li finally smiled and said, "It's really a royal thing, there is nothing simple." ”

Qingxing was stunned on the side, and Yinglan whispered worriedly: "Madame, do you think Aunt Xu is inappropriate?" ”

Shen Li didn't speak, she held her chin and tilted her head a little casually to look at the two frolicking in the yard, with a little casual casualness. Finally, the thumb of his left hand moved, and his wrist still hurt a little. The warm jade bracelet with a little green, warmly fitting her wrist, shimmered in the sun with a mesmerizing halo.

Daylight is so good, but it's a pity that I don't have the indulgence and casualness I had when I was a child. The elders always feel that the children are still young and need protection. But often the rings of the year pass, and the child becomes an adult in a few moments. The kind of melancholy that can't be resolved can probably be distinguished at a glance.

Shen Li carefully reflected on Aunt Xu's complicated expression that flashed over at that moment, and his index finger gently tapped on the table. I don't know why, it was obviously a very small expression, but she always felt that it was something very important. It's just that what it is, it is not yet known. It's just that this can only be understood and cannot be spoken, she just wants to find someone to talk to, and she doesn't know how to speak.

Ruyi Louli Chuanfeng Courtyard is the most serious courtyard in Ruyi Building;

In the words of the gentleman of the Southern Regions, it is that the boss of Ruyi Building has a sick head, and he has a good place in Fengyue, but he has a courtyard that has nothing to do with Fengyue.

In the past, this courtyard was basically full of doors and rarely opened, but today it is rare to welcome two well-dressed and luxurious guests;

The handsome Wei Hezhi sat on the side of the water-patterned glazed wall, and Gu Jin sat opposite him with a leisurely expression.

The maid made tea for them in a graceful manner, served it with both hands, and then gently moved back behind the curtain.

Wei Hezhi made a gesture of invitation to Gu Jin, "Drink and see, I don't know if it suits my cousin's taste." I'm not very particular about it, so I don't have any special preferences here. However, I heard that the sons and daughters here in Qingzhou only drink the one they like when they drink tea. It's just that we just met, and we didn't have much chance to get to know each other, so I had to grieve my cousin to settle today. ”

Gu Jin smiled slightly, brushed the silver cloud sleeves, and took a shallow sip of his cup of tea from the side. After a while, Fang smiled at Wei Hezhi and said: "This is not ordinary tea, if I am not mistaken, this tea should be the tribute tea sent by Tongzhou to Beijing." I only got three or four taels of TOEFL from the gifts given to the palace in Beijing a few years ago. If this tea can't be considered good, then half of the people in Qingzhou don't dare to say that the tea they drink is good. ”

Wei Hezhi laughed heartily a few times, "It's no wonder that the second uncle wants to praise his cousin to be incomparable, but now when I see it, I know that the second uncle really knows people well." This tea I got from a friend two years ago when I was travelling abroad. It's not much, but I'm not good at it, so I've kept it. Since my cousin likes it, then I simply borrow flowers and offer Buddha to give it to my cousin. ”

Gu Jin hurriedly waved his hand, "This tea only takes a few thousand pieces in three years, and it is the most precious." It's an honor to have a few cups today, how can you win love again. Don't mention it again, cousin, or I'll be embarrassed to sit down here. ”

"My cousin is false, 'the sword should be given to a celebrity, and a good flower should be given to a beautiful woman', in the eyes of people like me who are not good at tea ceremony, this tea is also 'cow chewing peony, so tasteless.'" But with my cousin, I can really understand its goodness and elegance, and it would be better to complement each other. Wei Hezhi smiled and quoted the words in front of him, and saw that Gu Jin was about to excuse himself, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and pressed the other party's arm. Could it be that my cousin dislikes me as a merchant and refuses to be close to me, so he is not willing to accept such a small gift. ”

Gu Jin smiled bitterly, and had no choice but to say: "That's not the case, it's just that my cousin came all the way to Qingzhou, and I should have been the hostess." I didn't expect that before a meal was completed, I was born to receive such a big gift from my cousin, which was really uneasy. ”

"I see, what's here." Wei Hezhi patted the other party's arm and said with a smile: "Between your own brothers, why should you be so clear." Besides, as our cousin's mother's family, we should have to take care of our cousin in many ways. It's just that he was limited by his identity before, so he didn't dare to associate with his cousin, for fear of hurting his cousin. My grandfather was still worried about his cousin before he died, and repeatedly told his uncles to take care of his cousin secretly. Don't say it's a tribute tea, it's something else, as long as the cousin likes it, the cousin naturally has to try his best to get it for the cousin. ”

Hearing these words in Gu Jin's ears, they were slightly familiar. He slowly recalled it in his mind, and couldn't help but suddenly laugh in his heart. Isn't what the cousin of the Wei family said about it exactly the same as what he said in front of his sister-in-law at noon?

It's just that although I was joking at the time, at least I had a sincere intention. Now I don't know if what this cousin of the Wei family said is a bit true or a little false.

Alas, he sighed inwardly. Usually he only likes to sit in a sparsely populated place when he comes out, but he is impatient to pretend to deal with people, but he doesn't want to repay him.

"My cousin laughed, I've had a good time all these years. It's just that I couldn't take care of my grandfather before he died, and I was a little sad. But fortunately, there are still uncles, aunts and cousins around. In the days to come, there will always be a time to talk about the family. Gu Jin owed, and said with a smile: "I heard from my second uncle earlier that everyone came to Qingzhou this time because they had something important to do. Although I don't have much real power in the palace, I can still say a few words. I don't know if there is a place where I need help, if there is, cousin, don't be polite, I will do my best to help if I can. ”

Wei Hezhi waved his hand indifferently, "Let those go first, our brothers will meet for the first time, so we should say something else." You grew up in Concubine Zhong's yard, has the Zhong family been good to you over the years? I heard outside that the old lady of the Zhong family likes you very much, and took care of you a lot in the past. It's a pity that we can't go back to a serious family now, otherwise we must come to the door with the two uncles to thank us. ”

came, Gu Jin turned the fingers of the jade pendant in his sleeve and paused slightly. The heart is cold, but there is still a gentle smile on the face. "Yes, I have indeed been taken care of by Mrs. Zhong a lot over the years. Speaking of which, I wonder what happened to the child born by Mrs. Feng? When I asked my uncle before, he was always a little vague. Cousin, can you tell me that although I was not raised by Mrs. Feng, I have been greatly favored by her in the end. The dove occupies the magpie's nest, and I have always been very reluctant to go. ”

When he negotiated with his eldest brother, he thought of this replaced cousin. Although Mrs. Feng doesn't look like a mother, her heart for Gu Jin is real. The grievances of the previous generation, they can no longer be held accountable, but a good prince of the palace has been replaced. Judging from the actions of the Wei family, I don't know if they will be well raised.

Wei Hezhi's eyes paused, and then he said with a sad face: "That little boy is also a poor man, and he is not enough in the womb when he comes down, although my uncle and they have invited a doctor with superb medical skills to treat him from the beginning, but it still hasn't dragged on for a few years. After spending 10,000 dollars, he could only raise him until he was ten years old. He was raised under the name of his third uncle, and after he fell ill, the third uncle was very sad. It was only after I returned to the Wei family and recorded it in the name of the third uncle that the third uncle got a little better. The look on his face was really sincere. When you meet the third uncle, you will understand. He is the youngest, but because of this incident, his temples are gray, and his spirit is not very good, but he does not look as young as his eldest uncle and second uncle. ”

Gu Jin's hand suddenly tightened, and an angry coldness appeared in his heart.

If that cousin is still alive, then at least it proves that the Wei family still has some affection. But that child died, Wei Hezhi said that he was alone in Qingzhou, who would pity the innocent child who was exchanged out?

He lost everything he should have, away from his father and mother and was exchanged for a strange place that didn't have half a heart for him.

Father, Gu Jin lowered his eyes a little compassionately, Father ...... It was impossible for his father not to know about this, but he also allowed the Wei family to do so. If one day, Mrs. Feng knows the truth, how should she deal with herself.

He is in the palace, what will happen?

For the past year, he has been immersed in his own thoughts, deliberately ignoring the pain caused by his father and mother to his mother and other people because of their true love;

He even knew the grievances suffered by his eldest brother in this mansion, but he still hated his eldest brother at some point.

But in this world, the word "hate" is actually the least qualified to mention it.

"I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me."

Gu Jin curled his fingers, and in the place where Wei Hezhi couldn't see, his eyes were as cold as ice and snow.
