Chapter 21: Essay Play II
Gu Yun came back late that day, and didn't return to the backyard until the lights were lit.
Shen Li went up to take the cloak he had untied and handed over a cup of hot tea. Seeing that his face was a little softer, he said, "There is still soup and jasper porridge on the stove, can Brother Yun use some?" ”
Gu Yun shook his head, pulled her to sit on the couch and said, "I'm not hungry yet, I came back after eating with Heyi outside." ”
Shen Li sat down with his hand and said with a smile: "That's good, warm up first." If you're hungry at the party, let them serve it again. ”
"Hmm." Gu Yun nodded simply, and asked with concern: "How can you look at today's spirits, but what is the difficulty?" ”
Shen Li smiled, and let the people waiting on the side go down first, and then smiled: "It's not a big deal, it's the next ritual." I didn't participate in these before, and Brother Yun also knew that I grew up in Yunzhou, and the contacts in Suri were very simple. The daughters of the big families are all taken by their elders to learn housekeeping since they were children. Now that I start this kind of big occasion, I am always a little worried that I will not be able to show my timidity when the time comes. ”
Gu Yun's eyes were also stained with a smile when he heard this, "It turned out to be for this." He tightened Shen Li's hand, "Don't worry, I have already asked the lady of Yunhai to come over tomorrow to talk to you." The twists and turns of the banquet, she will take you carefully. As for the elders, I also sent a letter to my uncle in the third room. Although the third aunt doesn't talk much, it is enough to mention a few words next to you. My aunt is a kind person, and if you don't want to talk too much, just stay by her side after seeing her. ”
Shen Li's heart was fixed, but he smiled bitterly again. Although she has not been on such occasions a few times, she is not an impenetrable person. "I'd like to avoid it, but I can. Where is the status of the palace and Brother Yun, if I avoid it in front of others, what will others think. ”
Gu Yun thought about it, although he could think of Ah Li in front of everything, but it was really not easy to meddle in the communication area, so he also smiled and said: "In short, Ah Li just looks at it, your identity is there, as long as the long-eyed ones will not come to you to find you unhappy." If there is that, Ali doesn't need to worry about my face. ”
Shen Li smiled and nodded, "I was about to discuss this with Brother Yun." As she spoke, she remembered that the third master of the Yun family that Wu Qian talked about during the day was a member of Gu Yun's foreign family. Since I said earlier that the Yun family was far away from Gu Yun because of the princess of Zhennan, why was he able to entrust himself to the wife of the third master very smoothly just now. I will soon have to deal with these people, and if I don't have a good grasp of proportion, won't I add to the chaos.
"Brother Yun said before that your grandfather has been indifferent to the palace over the years, why is he so close to this third master of Qingzhou between words?"
Gu Yun was stunned, and there was some tenderness in his eyes. "This three-room uncle, in terms of blood closeness, is actually far away from his mother. He was born from his maternal grandfather's cousin, and his biological mother was gone when he was born. That uncle has a lot of children under his knees, and although he is a concubine, he pays special attention to his concubine, so the third uncle has not been treated by him since he was a child. Fortunately, the ethnography is fair, and the people in charge are also clear. The third uncle studied hard for many years, all the way from Xiucai, lifting people to Jinshi, and finally got through. ”
Shen Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this, this uncle could still stand on his own, otherwise he didn't know what desolate fate he would fall into. Just thinking about it, there are so many such people in the big family, and if you don't look far, let's just say that the west courtyard of the palace is a huge place, but there is only one Gu Jin who stands out and makes people remember, and it can be seen.
"Now that he has been admitted to the Jinshi, why didn't this third uncle come out?"
"I was young at the time, and I didn't know the details. It probably has something to do with the third uncle's temperament, anyway, he has fame, and the Yun family is standing behind. As long as it is in the southern region, no one dares to ignore it. ”
Shen Li also nodded, and pushed Gu Yun with a little annoyance: "Speaking of which, since Brother Yun and Uncle Yun have a good relationship, why didn't you tell me earlier." I'll also hand over the prayer note and go to the door to meet the two elders. Now I haven't even come to visit the door, so I have to ask my aunt to help, isn't it too rude. ”
Gu Yun saw that she was coquettish and angry with herself, and she didn't know what to look like in her heart. "I've already told my uncle before, just wait for you to get used to it before you move around."
When he first got married, he naturally didn't think about it so much. Such an intimate relationship is somewhat inhumane to outsiders. Even if you have to confess to the newlyweds, it should be after the two get acquainted. When he got the memory of the two lives, as soon as he woke up, he immediately began to rearrange all kinds of important things, and he was reluctant to let Shen Li go outside alone, so he dragged it until this time. Fortunately, on the third aunt's side, he had already asked someone to deliver the letter, and he was not worried that these two elders would have a problem with Ali because of this.
Shen Li grabbed his hand and folded it together, and said with a smile: "Brother Yun has finished speaking, what else can I say." It's just that next time this kind of thing, Brother Yun will give me an answer first. Otherwise, if you are reckless, how good can you hurt the hearts of your elders. I heard Wu Qi say that the third uncle likes some cultural and antiquities the most, but I don't know if there are any additional preferences, so I can ask someone to prepare. ”
"I have already asked someone to send these gifts in your name, and you want to make up for it again, and I will send it over with the Mid-Autumn Festival gift in the next few days." Gu Yun squeezed Shen Li's hand, and said with a smile: "You don't have to go out of your private treasury, if you have anything you want, just pick it out of the warehouse." ”
Shen Li glanced at him with a smile, "That's natural, could it be that we haven't been married for three months." The dignified Zhennan Palace, does it have to rely on the dowry of the daughter-in-law? ”
The joke was told very smoothly and fluently, and neither of them was surprised. Young husband and wife, you and me, is the right reason. Shen Li thought about his previous caution, and then to the current state of mind, the depression was completely dispersed.
"There is also a reward in the festival, I asked Steward He to add an extra one on the basis of the previous one. Our subordinates here are all adding an extra new set of clothes, as well as a month of silver. As for the ones in the outer courtyard, I prepared a list and handed it to Steward He. If you have time, you can also help me take a look at it, this is the first time I have done this, and I am always worried. ”
Gu Yun was busy, so Shen Li naturally wouldn't really bother him with this. But to do this, she still habitually misses it in front of Gu Yun. This actually stems from some of her own little habits, as long as her mind is relaxed, she always likes to talk non-stop in front of people close to her. Rong Yin was annoyed before, and she was ridiculed by her senior brother for this I don't know how many times. Now that he is close to Gu Yun in his heart, the posture of this little child is unconsciously revealed.
Gu Yun didn't interrupt, for him, this side of Shen Li was unprecedented.
He was polite and polite in his last life, and Shen Li also replied with this. Although the two of them had a good time, it was still like a layer of fog.
Now that the two have finally removed the veil that covers their true temperament, and they are willing to give in and merge for each other, they are naturally like a fish in water, and their relationship is like a day.
