Chapter 66: The Long Road (25)
This afternoon, Gu Yun chatted a lot with Mrs. Yun and Uncle Yun, although they still couldn't reach a consensus on many small things, but they had already finalized a common direction in the general direction.
Old Lady Yun finally decided to go with Gu Yun to meet Mrs. Zhong, after all, they were all old to a certain extent, maybe they would never have the opportunity to meet again if they left Qingzhou this time.
What's more, Mrs. Zhong's body is no longer good, although the Yun family has not had much friendship with the Zhong family over the years, but the friendship between their colleagues back then is still there, and the old lady feels that she should go on this trip. Changing places, he believed that Zhong Taigong would definitely do the same.
"How so." Shen Li hurriedly said, "It should be said that it is rude for the juniors." She couldn't drink alcohol, and she couldn't drink tea now, so she picked up the soup bowl next to her and got up and saluted Mrs. Yun with a smile: "Granddaughter-in-law can't drink, so let's use this soup to honor grandpa." ”
Old lady Yun was overjoyed, picked up the wine glass on the side and stood up directly and drank it all in one gulp. "Good boy, no wonder Xiaoyun likes you so much."
As soon as they met, Old Lady Yun and Uncle Yun had already given Shen Li an incomparably heavy gift. It didn't take long to sit down to eat, but after a little chat, Mrs. Yun's cracked smile didn't stop.
At the beginning, he and his sons felt that this granddaughter-in-law was from Yanjing, but he was afraid that he would not be able to become Xiaoyun's good wife. Looking at it this way now, it doesn't matter where people come from, but he is definitely a clear character. Looking at Xiaoyun and his daughter-in-law's appearance, isn't it just a pair of talented and beautiful couples.
"Sit down, Xiaoyun quickly help your daughter-in-law sit down. She's a month old now, so you have to be careful and careful, so you can't make any mistakes. Especially in the last few months, you stayed by her side. It's the first time to have a child, it's the ghost door......"
"Dad, what are you saying in front of the juniors!" Seeing that the old lady Yun was happy and jumped out of everything, the eldest uncle of the Yun family hurriedly stood up and sat back on the chair with his father and said, "It's the first time that other people's children see you, don't scare others." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Old lady Yun suddenly remembered that the two children opposite him were still the first time, and said with a smile: "It's okay, don't be afraid, grandpa just drank a little more wine." I heard that now Xun Lao's grandson personally guards the house and asks his granddaughter-in-law for peace every day? ”
Gu Yun nodded, took a chopstick of fresh fish for Shen Li, and said with a smile: "Old Xun has recently gone to other states, and I have a lot of things to do, and there is a person with good medical skills in the house to guard me, so I can feel at ease when I run outside." ”
"That's true." Old Lady Yun nodded, thinking of Gu Yun's mother, she couldn't help but feel gloomy in her heart. But after all, it was the first time he had seen Shen Li, so he naturally didn't want to connect with it, and in front of a granddaughter-in-law who had a double body, he said sentimental things. He took a big sip of his wine glass, then looked at Shen Li kindly, and then said, "Are you used to eating in the mansion?" Do you think everything is okay? ”
"I was a little uncomfortable when I first arrived, but now it's all right. The courtyard where we live has a small kitchen, and there are also good cooks among the people around us. My son and I now eat a mix of northern and southern foods, and the kitchen prepares the day's meals according to the dishes we ordered. ”
Shen Li didn't have to say it so carefully, but she knew that the old people definitely wanted to know more about their children, but they were not good at words and didn't like to talk, so she had to try to speak as vividly as possible, so that Old Lady Yun would know that her nephew was doing well.
The uncle of the Yun family also had a smile on his serious face, and he could hear the thoughtfulness of the children.
"That's good, Xiaoyun is bored, if he provokes you, you can teach him more granddaughter-in-law. You're all good boys, discuss everything. It is not easy for two people to come together, and they must cherish each other more. Especially Xiaoyun, you have to let your daughter-in-law more. She's come all the way here, and you have no one to rely on but you, and you can't bully her. ”
Gu Yun's gaze slid lightly over Shen Li, and he nodded to Old Lady Yun with a smile. "I will, Grandpa."
With my grandfather's words, my granddaughter-in-law was relieved. If the prince dares to bully me in the future, I will definitely write to you to complain. You must help me make the decision and teach him a lesson for me. Shen Li's heart softened, and he hurriedly followed the words of Old Lady Yun.
"Okay, as long as Xiaoyun dares to bully you, even if you send the letter to Lingzhou, your grandfather will definitely call the shots for you." Don't look at the old lady Yun's age, but the expression and momentum when she speaks are not worse than that of the Yun family's eldest uncle.
"Then it's easy to thank my grandfather here." Shen Li pushed Gu Yun's arm, "Please serve a spoonful of food to my grandfather for me, it is inconvenient for me to move around now, so as not to make my grandfather and uncle feel embarrassed." ”
Gu Yun still had that gentle smile on his face, but there was a layer of warmth in his ink-like eyes. The three people in this house are all relatives who are sincere to him in this life. Even though he lacks the love from his father, he still has a lot. Heaven has treated him very well, and he should be content.
A few people talked about the customs of Huilingzhou again, and when they had all eaten about the same, the uncle of the Yun family asked people to come in and withdraw from the table, and replaced them with new refreshments. A few people sat on the side, hugging the stove and continuing to gossip. It's just that there are a lot of ups and downs, but with a few words, everyone's topic has shifted to the affairs of the Zhong family.
The eldest uncle of the Yun family tried his best to make his face look softer. "It's easy to go to the next room to rest for a while, we have been talking for a long time, you are pregnant now, you need to rest more."
Although there is nothing to shy away from this nephew and daughter-in-law about the things they want to discuss, after all, the Zhong family has pressed a matter on Shen Li, and the eldest uncle of the Yun family really can't discuss these things in front of his nephew and daughter-in-law.
Shen Li heard the song and knew the elegance, got up with a smile and said, "Then I'll go to sleep for a while, and then call me when the prince is finished." ”
Gu Yun stretched out his hand and pinched her wrist, then got up and said, "It's easy to come here for the first time, grandpa and uncle will sit for a while, and I will send her back to the room and come back to talk to you immediately." ”
"That's how it should be, go ahead, go on." Old Lady Yun grinned and touched her beard and smiled, and said to Shen Li again: "If you want to eat something later, Grandpa will let you prepare it for you first." ”
"I'll arrange it, grandpa, I'll come back after sending it later, and let grandpa prepare by the way." Gu Yun was afraid that Shen Li would be embarrassed, so he stood up and said justice to Mrs. Yun.
"It's okay to be embarrassed by us." Mrs. Yun could see at a glance what her grandson was thinking, the little couple had a good relationship, and he had seen it in person, so he didn't know how happy he was. "Go ahead, let's go, remember to let people put a few more soup women first, so as not to cover it cold."
"Yes, Grandpa. You don't have to worry, grandpa does things, aren't you still at ease? ”
Shen Li waited until he got out of the door before gently pushing Gu Yun's arm, and complained in a low voice: "I'm not a child, why do you have to send me over." When I let my grandfather and uncle see me, I don't know how squeamish I usually am at home. ”
Gu Yun walked outside very naturally, facing the cold wind blowing in the yard for her. "No, the daughters of the Yun family are treated like this. Grandpa and Uncle will only take this for granted, and will not think that you are squeamish. ”
"Really?" Shen Li glanced at Gu Yun with some disbelief, and saw that the other party's expression was natural, not like a lie. "The Yun family's family style is not bad, and they will pity the jade."
Gu Yun touched her head, "Naughty, the covers in the house must have been replaced with new ones, Grandpa is very careful, and he has been prepared for a long time." ”
Shen Li glanced at him, "You know me and know what I care about." ”
Gu Yun swept around and laughed in a low voice: "It's all old husbands and wives, if you don't even know this, how dare you say that you have you in your heart." ”
This is a habit that Shen Li has cultivated since he was a child, no matter where he goes, the first thing must be to use his own things, and if he doesn't have them, he must use clean new ones. Otherwise, even if things are clean, she would rather not sleep than settle. For this, she has been ridiculed by Wei Xu since she was a child. Whenever she goes out, her things in her bag definitely account for more than half, and only a small part of the space is for Rong Yin and Wei Xu.
After she married in the Southern Regions in her previous life, there were very few places where these habits were revealed, and even if there were, they were usually covered up well by the people nearby, but they didn't know where Gu Yun noticed it.
Gu Yun sent her to the room, personally laid out the quilt for her, rolled the soup woman in the quilt one by one, and waited until Shen Li lay down, and then hung down the curtain and walked out of the house.
Qingxing had already gotten the news and was waiting outside. Seeing Gu Yun come out, he hurriedly saluted him.
"Leave two men to stand guard outside, and prepare a pot of tea on the stove. I'm right on the other side of the main house, and a man will call me for something. ”
"Yes, Shizi." Qingxing respectfully agreed, and when she saw that the weather was getting colder outside, she said again: "The prince has to wear a thicker cloak again, and I see that this day is getting colder and colder." ”
Gu Yun thought for a moment and nodded. "Then go get one and send it to the main house. If I feel cold, I'll put it on. ”
"Yes, Shizi, the slave will let the black shovel send it to you."
"Hmm." Gu Yun didn't delay any longer, and went to the hall to say a few words to Ah Gong, and then turned back and entered the main house.
As soon as Mrs. Yun saw him enter the room, she hurriedly beckoned, "Come, come and take a look at these things." ”
There was a brocade box spread out on the table, which contained various title deeds and letters, plus a black jade box. Gu Yun casually picked up a land deed and looked at it, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little complicated. He put the things back and was silent for a while before he spoke, "Old lady Zhong has looked for you and your uncle." ”
"Well, I sent you the wish you brought with you. The attitude is sincere, but we read about you and didn't reply to him on the spot. The world of Qingzhou is also for you young people. Xun Lian and his son committed a crime on your head, and grandpa wants to ask you what you plan to do. Old Lady Yun didn't pay too much attention to the things on the table, and he just opened it casually on the day Zhong Yuan sent it, and as soon as the people left, they still got back together.
"Xiao Jin also interceded with them before, and I didn't plan to kill them all. It's just a lesson for Zhong Yuan, and it's impossible for me to let go of the things ahead with my eyes closed. Gu Yun explained lightly.
Old Lady Yun nodded, "It's not easy for Brother Zhong, he and I can be regarded as having lived and died together with each other." It's a pity that the children and grandchildren are not angry, and they have to worry about them when they are old. ”
Gu Yun didn't speak, he stretched out his hand and flicked it from a pile of things, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he looked up at Old Lady Yun and said fairly: "Gong Zhong has expected it." ”
The eldest uncle of the Yun family raised his head and looked over, "What"
"The direction of the wind in Shangjing has changed, and Zhong Gong must be afraid that he will not be able to protect the Zhong family and then walk the back road. So he used these to exchange us for the Zhong family's chance to survive in this storm. ”
"Will it be troublesome?" Uncle Yun asked with concern,
"I didn't know where to start, but now I have the opportunity to give it a go. It's just that apart from Zhong Gong, the others of the Zhong family are not qualified to participate in this fight. Gu Yun thought of Zhong Yuan, and couldn't help but say with a slightly cold look in his eyes,
"Before, Zhong Gong asked the third lady of the Zhong family to warn Ah Jin, I admit his affection, and I don't care about the things that the Zhong family did behind their backs before. But Zhong Yuan had to stick in and not let him pay a price, he wouldn't know what to do. ”
"It's okay, but Ah Yun, can you tell your grandfather what you're going to do?" Old Lady Yun patted Gu Yun on the shoulder, "Grandpa and your uncles are always on your side, can Grandpa see that you have made a big decision, can you let Grandpa know what you have done?" ”
"I'm sorry, grandpa, I can't tell you yet. I can only say that if this matter is done, I will definitely be able to give you an explanation of what they inflicted on the Yun family in the past. ”
The faces of the old lady Yun and the eldest uncle of the Yun family changed, and the eldest uncle of the Yun family stepped forward and helped Gu Yun's shoulder and said, "You are confused, should you be thinking about ......?"
"Uncle, where do you want to go?" When Gu Yun saw their nervous looks, he immediately guessed where they were thinking, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "I don't have such lofty ambitions, but I also tell you frankly that the Southern Regions will definitely take sides in the battle for succession." Don't worry about the specifics of yourself and your grandfather, just treat them as if you don't know. Since Zhong Gong has sent these things, you will accept them. It just so happens that I have other uses, I can keep the Zhong family, and in the future, it's a big deal to push Zhong Yuan or Zhong Xin to the throne. I want to trouble my uncle and grandfather for another very important matter, this matter is related to the life and death of the Southern Regions, and even related to the inheritance of our Yungu in the next hundred years. Whether it can succeed or not depends on the strength of my grandfather and uncle. ”
"What's the matter?" Seeing that Gu Yun said so powerfully, the old lady of the Yun family and the eldest uncle of the Yun family invariably stood up. "You say, if we can do it, we will do it with all our might."
Gu Yun took out a scroll from his arms and spread it out, it was a map of the military defense of the states in the Southern Regions.
The candle flame in the room flickered and flickered, and with the flickering light, Old Lady Yun's face changed from serious to unbelievable to excited.
