"How could Senior Brother ask about the Fourth Highness?" A hint of surprise flashed across Su Ruhui's face.

Gu Liancheng inherited Xue Zi's secret court training, contaminated with the fragrance of books, even if he was anxious and full of dust, he was still angry, and said slowly: "Let me tell my junior sister about this matter later, okay?" ”

Su Ruhui had a good impression of this senior brother, and was unwilling to force him, so he said happily: "Don't hide it from Senior Brother, after the concubine Niangniang went, I have seen the Fourth Highness once, and the Fourth Highness is sad, but the spirit is acceptable, and there is no big problem." ”

Gu Liancheng breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "It's good that he's fine!" Otherwise, I'll ......"

He frowned, Su Ruhui didn't want to ask more, but when he heard him say this, his heart jumped for no reason, and an idea flashed into his mind like a spiritual light...... Unable to give up, she blurted out: "Senior brother...... Why did Uncle Gu accept you as a son? ”

Gu Liancheng was already planning to leave, but when he heard her ask, he stopped and explained: "My biological father saved my father-in-law's life, and my father-in-law originally planned to send me to the master's name, but you also know that the master has a free and easy temperament, is not informal, and is not interested in these, plus the father-in-law himself has no children under his knees, it was okay in the past, the family has been urging in the past two years, and it is also taking into account that Lian Li's sister is about to leave the cabinet, and it is better to have a brother to take care of it. ”

Su Ruhui said quietly: "Speaking of Lian Li, I haven't seen her for a long time, I don't know when she will be able to return the capital?" ”

"Lian Li didn't go back to Hongzhou!" Gu Liancheng was surprised, "The stepmother and Lian Li are in the imperial capital!" Originally, he was going to go back, so the date was set after the beginning of spring, or Shibo persuaded his father-in-law to set the date earlier, and said that after the beginning of spring, Lian Li would enter the palace to participate in the selection, this ......"

Gu Liancheng seemed to have thought of something, and smiled a little helplessly.

Su Ruhui thought about it for a while, and then understood that Gu Liancheng was extremely famous in the imperial capital because he studied under Xue Zidian, although many people knew that his relationship with Gu Taiyi was extraordinary, but it was another thing to be officially included in his name, and Gu Lianli was originally inconspicuous among the selected women, but with such a brother, he wanted to be outstanding.

"I see." Su Ruyi secretly thought that his father's words to persuade Gu Taiyi were only afraid that he would still have the intention of taking the opportunity to sell his favor, otherwise Gu Taiyi would not have acted so coincidentally, so he took Gu Liancheng to avoid the turmoil.

Su Ruhui asked Yunyan to take Gu Liancheng to the guest room, and she was freshened up and settled under the service of the little girl.

The second day is the first day of the thirty-third year of Changtai, which is the first time since entering the palace to celebrate the festival in his own home, although An's is still crooked in bed, Wudehou Mansion is extraordinarily spirited. Also because An's was bedridden, Su Ruhui followed her sister-in-law closely to help with the dots, and at the end of the day, both of them were extremely tired.

Su Ruhui dragged her pace back to Nanyuan, and was asking Yunyan to prepare fragrant soup, planning to soak it to relieve fatigue, but she didn't expect Su Rufeng to run over.

Su Ruhui was helpless, and after hearing the words, she had to hastily dry her body, put on her clothes and come out, and saw that Su Rufeng was sitting in a daze a little restlessly, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What's wrong?" ”

"You all go down." Su Rufeng solemnly instructed Yunyan and the others, and then approached his sister and said in a low voice, "Father Fang Cai discussed with the eldest uncle and the third uncle and decided on one thing!" ”

Su Ruhui hurriedly asked, "What is it?" ”

"The uncle and the Liu family agreed that in the coming year, the two families will ask His Majesty to marry the second brother...... refers to Miss Liu Jiajiu as the wife of the second brother! ”

Su Ruhua was taken aback: "Didn't my mother say it...... The second brother and your wife, can't their status be higher than that of the eldest sister-in-law? What's more, Liu Suguan is the daughter of the Liu family, how can she marry the second brother? If you want to marry, you are also married! ”

"You're right." Su Rufeng frowned and said, "So, there is a premise in this, that is, my father plans to pass the second brother out!" ”

"To whom?" Su Ruhui hurriedly asked.

"To the third uncle!" Su Rufeng sighed, "The third uncle is still unmarried, and my grandmother has been making a lot of trouble about this matter during this time, and even the eldest aunt has a headache!" The second brother succeeded his heir, and it is also a saying that it is better to avoid the grandmother from continuing to nag. inherited the heir of the third uncle, the second brother can naturally not be bound by his mother's words, and the third uncle is not married, Miss Liu Jiajiu has passed the door, there is no need to set rules in front of her mother-in-law, that is, she is the housewife, I just heard from the eldest brother, at least the fourth child of the Liu family, that is, the husband of the county lord of Huaizhen, is very satisfied with this matter. ”

Su Ruhui frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "This is not a bad thing, what are you doing so sad?" Do you want to go to the third uncle yourself? ”

"Not really." Su Rufeng sighed, "Actually, this is a good thing for the second brother, after all, the third uncle has the title of Marquis of Guanxiang, but after I saw that my father and uncle decided, the second brother was very unhappy, so I wanted to come over and ask you, what kind of person is Miss Liu Jiajiu?" The second brother can't have seen her and don't like it in his heart, right? ”

Su Ruhui asked strangely: "I heard that Miss Liu has also come here a few times in Suri, why haven't you met?" ”

Su Rufeng said: "Are you as fine as you now?" They are all messengers, and the young lady of the Liu family came in the daytime, except for my mother and sister-in-law, we were all outside, how did we meet? ”

"Miss Liu's name is Su Guan, I have only met once, she was born well, and her personality is also generous, but I look at it very much, of course, our family is the right person, she is also polite to me, I just don't know if she will care too much about her concubine." Su Ruhua said, "But since my mother had met the Gu family's sister in private, the second brother didn't object, and I thought it was a tacit acquiescence, these two people are not similar in temperament, and the Gu family's sister is innocent and lively. Son, Liu is very arrogant, but I don't know if the second brother is for this reason? ”

Su Rufeng was puzzled: "No, the one in the Gu family, my mother is just planning, after all, the selection will not be the second brother's turn until the royal selection is completed, and my mother has already told the second brother not to be very hopeful." Besides, the second brother just didn't object before, so I don't see any closeness to Miss Gu. ”

"That'...... I'm going to ask? Su Ruhui thought for a moment and got up.

Su Rufeng shook his head: "Don't go today, one is that you are tired, and the other is that the second brother drove me out just now, saying that I want to be alone and quiet, although he may not drive you away if you go, I am afraid that I will reluctantly let you in, and my heart is not happy." ”

Su Ruhui sighed, and was about to agree, when she suddenly remembered something: "Third brother, how is your relationship with Wei Yuqing?" ”
