Inside the tall and winding white walls are large courtyards, and rows of houses are divided into separate courtyards by whitewashed walls and tiles, and zigzag sandwich roads run through them.

Haitang Garden is located in the innermost part of Peach Blossom Lane, which is the largest and most famous courtyard of Shuiyue Building.

Zhong Sangongzi's birthday banquet has been set a long time ago, and since the middle of the day, the flow of people coming and going on the bluestone slab road in front of the courtyard has not stopped.

Outside there was a lot of people, laughter, and pink-clad maids shuttled between the seats with food plates.

The innermost room is cleaned clean, the windows in the house are clean, the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities are hung, and the white bamboo and green pines are placed, and there is no half-happy atmosphere.

A tall young man sat in the cloister, facing the middle of the courtyard. The flowers on the hibiscus trees are white and dense, and they are scattered all over the garden with the wind, and they look like falling snow from a distance.

The aqua-blue coat was spread on the ground, and the fingers held on the handle of the vine and snow-light fan were as white as cold jade, shining thinly and delicately in the sunlight.

Several people hooked their shoulders and pulled open the wooden door from behind, and they poured in together.

A man stepped forward and pressed the young man's shoulder and said with a smile: "You have taken root and grown flowers here, but let us wait there." ”

Another person next to him knocked his hand away with a fan and said with a smile: "Ah Jin doesn't like to be put on the shoulder, you don't remember to beat him again and again." As he spoke, he turned around and kicked a cushion casually to sit aside, "There is green pine wine in the hall today, but unfortunately all the hungry wolves on the table are gone." ”

Gu Jin turned around and looked at him with a smile: "It's so good, why didn't you grab a pot for me." ”

The man who had put his hand on his shoulder sat directly on the wooden verandah. "Tsk, don't listen to him. Zhong San ordered Erniang to leave it for you early in the morning, knowing that you were coming, Zhong San's mouth was grinning these days. If there is anything to eat and drink, it will definitely be the first to cling to you. If I didn't know that you weren't good at that, I'm afraid that the two sister flowers in this yard would also have to be given to you. ”

Gu Jin spun around a few of them, "What about Wei Xing?" ”

"It's a horse without a hitch, and it's hard to get here, how can you sit still." The person sitting smiled, holding a snow-white pear in his hand, and threw it in a casual manner. "Sister Qi is also here today, to be honest, you are eighteen years old, what kind of arrangement does the prince have for you. There is no serious hostess in your house now, so you can't really let your new sister-in-law plan it. ”

"What's wrong with that?" Gu Jin reached out to pick up his pear, "Don't you say that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother?" ”

The man smiled, just pointing a fan at him through the void. "You look at it upside down, how does your sister-in-law look? Don't they all say that the crown princess is alluring to the city and the country? ”

Gu Jin shook his fan and laughed: "You don't know the rules in my house, the eldest brother is too busy these days, it is difficult for us who are little uncles to break into people's new houses alone." ”

The person who spoke before looked at him strangely, but there were many people around him, and it was not good to talk further, so Xiaoxiao didn't ask any more.

But the person next to him was intrigued, "Eh, I've heard of it too." It's a pity that I can't enter Beijing, and I can't see my face. However, legends are legends after all, and it is not necessary to be over-glorified. It's not that you don't know that the people in the capital have eyes in the sky, and even the toilet paper in their thatched huts is more noble than our southern regions. ”

"You mouth, accumulate some virtue. Don't say anything, just let it out. You haven't seen it, can't it be that your eldest brother hasn't seen it? That's the person who can make Wei Ergongzi unforgettable. ”

"Alas, so is Eiji. On that side, he has been guarding like an ascetic for so many years. If you really have that heart, you should have opened your mouth back then, rubbing and grinding like this, what else can you accomplish except tossing yourself. "This is the fifth son of the third room of the Zhong family, called Zhong Xin. Unlike this group of people, he is the only one who was born in the main house, but he is not favored. Pingsu has always been close to Zhong San of Dafang and Gu Jin.

Lou Qiang on the other side is knocking on people's hands with a fan in front. He smiled and said: "How can the famous lady in the capital come out, it is the palace at the top of us, and he can only marry the fourth lady of the family." If you want me to say how this crown princess is, it's not convenient for me to judge, it's just that this Shen Mansion's style is really unsightly for some people. ”

"That is, speaking of the situation of the second miss of the Shen family, it is really a bit similar to our Zhong Wu. Although Zhong Wu's father doesn't love his mother, he has been raised by his side in the end. Unlike Miss Shen Er, who grew up outside, she has to be made up by her own family at the end of the day. ”

Zhong Wuxin has relatives, and he can't help but feel a little nostalgic. "This is also the girl's honesty, if we don't go up and don't poke a hole for them that can't be filled, it's not over."

Lou Qiang said with a smile: "This shows the charm of Miss Shen even more, and she still entered the prince's mansion in a beautiful way like this." ”

Gu Jin smiled slightly on the side, and did not participate. Although he and Gu Yun are not compatriots, they are both people who don't like to talk highly. But what makes him different from Gu Yun is that

Although he doesn't like to talk, he can always sit comfortably in the crowd, and people don't feel embarrassed.

"Miss Shen." He remembered the shocking glimpse of that day, with a pitiful panic and panic. There should be a gap in appearance compared to Miss Shen, at least there is only one who is rumored to be a city and a country. But the place where those eyebrows and eyes fall is really interesting.

A few people chatted for a while, but they didn't stay long, and turned to another thing.

The person at the beginning was Feng Ting, and his father and brother are now the town generals of Kezhou. "Have you heard? Hu Rong's side was restless again. ”

Zhong Wu rolled his eyes and said in a long voice: "I heard, so what." Anyway, when the sky falls, it has nothing to do with us. ”

However, Lou Qiang and Gu Jinban straightened their faces, "Is it a big fuss or a small fuss?" ”

"I heard that it's quite a big fuss, but they have to make trouble a few times every year before winter comes, but it's a little earlier this year." Feng Ting just said casually that the real news couldn't reach him.

Lou Qiang and Gu Jin glanced at each other, and the smile in their eyes dispersed slightly.

This was brought by the way, and no one else paid too much attention. Everyone chatted for a while, and then clamored: "Let's go to the front yard to have a look, today Yuezhu and Yunzhu are going to dance on the cloud platform." Usually this is hard to see, and we always push back. ”

Everyone beckoned to go out, knowing that Gu Jin was not going and did not call him. However, Lou Qiang deliberately lagged a few steps behind, and waited for someone to go out before saying, "Brother Jin, you have time, let's drink together." ”

Gu Jin nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, wait a few more days, I'll invite you." ”

"Okay." Lou Qiang put her mind at ease and said, "Zhong San won't be able to come this time, and we are also called by him to come and sit with you, for fear that you will be bored here alone." Brother Jin, if you plan to leave, go and say hello to him, and pity him for your heart. ”

Gu Jin raised his head and smiled: "It's a shame that there are no outsiders here, otherwise I don't know what it will look like when it spreads." Rest assured, I know how to do it. ”

"Well, then I'll go out first, Brother Jin, if you have anything, just call the maid waiting at the entrance of the house to order."

"Go on, go on, if you are so verbose, I suspect that you have changed your eldest brother's temperament." Gu Jin pushed the fan against Lou Qiang, with a teasing smile on his face.

Lou Qiang pushed the door and walked out, and reopened the door for him before leaving.

This group of people is the generation of the younger generation in the Southern Regions, which is designated as the fun circle. The elders don't need to be too good, but they can't be too bad either. In short, it is in such a square and round rule set by the elders that it has become what it is today.

But Gu Jin is special, King Zhennan doesn't seem to set any rules for him, and Gu Yun doesn't limit his steps, but he himself wanders outside the circle of power.

Zhong San couldn't understand this, he was just very clingy to Gu Jin. is closer to Gu Jin than to several brothers in the family, sticky from childhood to adulthood. But Lou Qiang saw it very clearly, he was different from many people in this circle. He is very capable and has a lot of means. If you really want to start scheming, the eldest brother in power in his family who is now in power really can't fight him. But he didn't fight, he seemed to be very willing to abide by the rules set by his elders and not interfere in politics.
