The small building of the shadow puppet show is private property, and I heard that the person who played the shadow puppet show used to be a courtier, but then somehow, the official Xie Chao was dismissed, and instead came here to play a shadow puppet show for children.

This small building was built when he was a courtier, and the emperor never mentioned this person again, and this person never talked about state affairs again, and every day it was porridge and light tea.

"Uncle Xun!" Gu Jinxi shouted as soon as he entered.

There were five or six children running inside, chasing a boy who looked twelve or thirteen years old in front of him, and the person who was called Uncle Xun was already a gray-haired old man, who was looking at this group of children with a smile, and when he looked up and saw Gu Jinxi coming, the smile on his face suddenly retracted.

The old man snorted, the white beard on his face moved, and the old man turned around and put his hands around his chest, "Why are you here?" ”

Bastard?

Ruan Cailing glanced at the old man in surprise, and came back to see Gu Jinxi.

But Gu Jinxi didn't seem to care about the old man's disrespect, and still accompanied the smiling face, "Uncle Xun is angry?" Xiao Xi has been a little busy lately, so I don't have time to come and see you! Isn't that just the time to come! ”

Gu Jinxi stood beside the old man, helping the old man's body to turn around, the old man's sulking appearance was quite cute, at least Ruan Cailing felt that the white-bearded old man had the meaning of an old naughty boy, the old man was helped by Gu Jinxi and turned around, and at a glance he saw Ruan Cailing who came in with Gu Jinxi, and his eyes lit up.

"Is this the girl you brought?" The old man asked Gu Jinxi.

He pointed at Ruan Cailing and looked up and down, Ruan Cailing was stunned for a moment and then curtsy and saluted, "Lingling has seen ......"

"It's good if you call Uncle Xun like me." Gu Jinxi said.

Ruan Cailing sighed and shouted with a smile, "Lingling."

I've seen Uncle Xun! ”

"Huh! Ok, good, good! Come on, girl, Uncle Xun take a look! The old man was not angry, but showed the smile he had just shown when he looked at the group of children below and stretched out his hand to Ruan Cailing, Ruan Cailing inexplicably handed his hand to the old man, and the old man grabbed Ruan Cailing's wrist and continued to look.

It took a long time before he nodded, and said solemnly to Gu Jinxi, "Okay! Can't do martial arts! She looks like a gentle and docile girl! What's your name, girl! ”

"Well, my name is Ruan Cailing."

The old man frowned again all of a sudden, Ruan Cailing felt that the old man's face changed very quickly, and his expression was also diverse. The old man glanced back at Gu Jinxi, who nodded at the old man.

"Who are you Ruan Qi?"

Ruan Cailing is even more inexplicable, it has been a long time since anyone dared to call her father's name in front of her, but looking at the old man's appearance, he should be even older than his father.

"It's my father! Dingguo Gong Ruan Qi is my father, Ruan Su is my mother, and my brother is Ruan Xuchen, the son of Dingguo Gongfu. ”

"Sure enough!" The old man's eyes suddenly widened, "I know that you are the daughter of that kid of Ruan Qi!" Look at your long! These eyes are almost carved out of the same mold as Ruan Qi! ”

was thrown away by Uncle Xun again, Ruan Cailing was so helpless! Why did Uncle Xun suddenly lose his temper so much! It's cloudy!

Gu Jinxi got down from the stage, walked to Ruan Cailing's side, took Ruan Cailing's hand, and took her to the old man's side, and suddenly knelt down on one knee.

Qingrui, Mu Bai and the others behind him didn't dare to stand.

In this room, apart from the old man, there was a group of children still standing.

"Uncle Xun, Xiao Xi brought Ruan Ruan to see you today, can't you really let go of the grievances from many years ago? If you hold a grudge, you won't open a shadow puppet show in this small building on Dongxiang Street for all these years! You see, there was no me and Ruan Ruan at that time, but at this moment, both of us can come to see you! Uncle Xun, my father and the Duke of Dingguo all need you! ”

Although Ruan Cailing was puzzled, she didn't speak, just looked up. If she was not mistaken, she really saw the tears in the eyes of the old man, the old man bent his waist, put his hands behind his back, raised his head and sighed, "Alas, when is the time for retribution, it is difficult to save both ways in the palace!" ”

He wiped his tears with his sleeve, and then looked at Ruan Cailing and Gu Jinxi's eyes became much softer, "You guys get up, a prince and a young lady, what are you talking like kneeling in front of my old man!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and entered a small room on the stage, Gu Jinxi pulled Ruan Cailing up and found a place to sit.

"Who is this?"

The old man was still here just now, and she couldn't ask, but now it's finally only Gu Jinxi alone.

Gu Jinxi glanced at Ruan Cailing and took the teacup from Qingrui's hand, "Have you heard from Ruan Xuchen or Lord Ruan, Zhu Yuanxun?" ”

Zhu Yuanxun?

In the past and present life, Ruan Cailing has no impression.

She shook her head.

Gu Jinxi took a sip of tea and said softly, "No wonder you don't know, Zhu Yuanxun is a veteran of the Kai Dynasty, I was not born at that time, let alone you." ”

“…… This, just this old man? Ruan Cailing glanced at the small room that Uncle Xun had entered just now.

Gu Jinxi nodded.

Zhu Yuanxun and the current Xuanding Guogong are the three elders of the founding dynasty, and these three people are also good brothers, but now one is the prince and the other is the Dingguo Gong, only he, far away from the court, lives in a quiet place in the capital.

Gu Jinxi also knew the reason, but it was inconvenient for Ruan Cailing to say too much, just let her know the relationship between Ruan Qi and Uncle Xun.

"But why did Daddy never mention this man?"

"If you leave the court and talk about it, it will be a disaster! Lord Nguyen is also for your safety. ”

Then Ruan Cailing didn't understand it even more, since her father and eldest brother didn't tell her for their own safety, why did Gu Jinxi still take herself and come directly to this person now?

What do you mean by that?

King Xuan and Daddy need him?

"The courtiers elected the Nine Emperor Princes, the emperor is also anxious now, although the way you told me can be solved, but it takes time to confirm, at present, we need a reassurance, we have to let the people in the court know that even if the emperor is old, the country will not be in turmoil, and someone needs to support my father and Lord Ruan!"

This person, only Zhu Yuanxun is the most suitable.

If those things hadn't happened back then, he would have said goodbye to the court angrily, and the current position of prime minister would be his! In the eyes of Zhu Yuanxun, the right prime minister Lin Yicheng is not even a straw!

In that case, why does Uncle Xun live here? Why don't you leave the capital?

"Where do you think all this news in your house came from? How did Ruan Xuchen know that someone was following him and wanted to kill him? If it weren't for Uncle Xun, your eldest brother would have died many times! ”

Ruan Cailing suddenly understood what Gu Jinxi meant.

"But Uncle Xun lives here, won't he be very ostentatious? He is still safe and sound, is Uncle Xun a master? ”

"Uncle Xun doesn't know martial arts." Gu Jinxi said, "But, look. ”

He pointed to all corners of this small building, "Look at those dark slots, there are as many as hundreds of mechanisms in this small building, not to mention the top killers, even if I suddenly break into here, I can't get out of the way!" ”

Ruan Cailing took a closer look, there were some organs that could still be found, but Ruan Cailing counted only a dozen places, Gu Jinxi said that there were hundreds, where are they?

Before Uncle Xun came out again, Ruan Cailing focused on finding the mechanism in the small building.

"Girl, Uncle Xun saw you for the first time, and he didn't have anything to give you, just this little thing, you can keep it." Uncle Xun sat opposite the two of them, the round table was full of melon seeds and peanut shells, he brushed a clean place with his sleeve, and a small rectangular box was placed on the table.

Ruan Cailing pointed at herself in surprise, "Send me?" ”

Uncle Xun nodded, "That's right! Open it and take a look! ”

Ruan Cailing subconsciously glanced at Gu Jinxi, the latter nodded and signaled that she could accept it, Ruan Cailing thanked her and reached out to find the switch of the box, and Uncle Xun took in Ruan Cailing's expression of asking Gu Jinxi.

Ruan Qi's daughter and Gu Yu's son!

The talented woman is good-looking, and it should be regarded as a good match, but the emperor and several of his princes are so suspicious, will the two of them be together as they wish?

That's it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, no wonder Ruan Qi and Gu Yu, the two bastards, are also willing to let their children come to him.

After Ruan Cailing opened the box, she saw that it was actually a delicate silver bracer, slightly finger long. Ruan Cailing tried it on, just enough to get stuck on her wrist, and the silver bracer had a carved lotus flower on it, which was very delicate.

But she didn't go to war, what did she do with her bracers?

"Thank you, Uncle Xun, it's beautiful, but ...... I don't know martial arts, I don't have bracers with me. Ruan Cailing looked at the lotus flower on the bracer and said to Uncle Xun.

"It's because you don't know martial arts that I want to give you this, this kind of thing doesn't work for Xiao Xi and Chen'er."

Dust?

Only people close to him will call him brother like this, does the eldest brother often come to see Uncle Xun?

"Uncle Xun, have you seen my eldest brother?" Ruan Cailing asked.

Uncle Xun raised his eyebrows and reached over to help Ruan Cailing adjust the position of the bracers, "No!" I've never seen any of your children! I even went when you were born, who do you think designed your Sihua Building? ”

Sihua Building was actually designed by Uncle Xun?

From the very beginning, Ruan Cailing only knew that Sihua Building was designed and built by a master who sent her father's drawings before she was born. But I didn't think that the master in the mouth of my father's eldest brother is Uncle Xun!

"Uncle Xun is proficient in the construction of weapons and mechanisms, don't tell me, you have lived in Sihua Building for fourteen years, and you don't know that there are mechanisms in your pavilion?" Gu Jinxi asked.

Ruan Cailing had a bitter face, she really didn't know!

Where's the mechanism?

Besides, she is not like her eldest brother, there are crises everywhere, and she has always been smooth sailing before she was reborn! Even the encounter with the assassin hiding in the room only happened after he was reborn!

Think about it this way.

No wonder the Assassin would catch her when she returned to her room, and look at her with a guarded look.
