Like a dragonfly dotting water, Gu Yu passed through the doors and windows, crossed a locust forest, turned over and jumped over the pavilion with an octagonal cornice, and fell into a relatively hidden sheep intestine path.

Stopping to look back at the locust forest behind him, the ancestral hall of the Gu family has been hidden behind the dense and jagged jungle, and a few lights can be faintly seen floating, like fireflies in the dark night, flickering.

There's nothing going on.

Nowadays, the big families all have tribal tenants, that is, the so-called private armies, and the Gu family's tribal tenants also reach more than thousands of people, and naturally many tribal servants are arranged in the Gu mansion to keep vigil, and there are guards in the courtyards of the major masters.

Fortunately, her body after her rebirth was still light and cunning, otherwise, with her more than ten years of deep palace career in her previous life, if she didn't practice for a long time, the martial arts she had learned would inevitably be wasted. Of course, at this moment, what she should be most grateful for is the skills she learned under Huan Che's cruel training in her previous life, including knowing incense, making incense, and how to use incense.

From the moment she woke up, she had noticed that Chen Yu lit some strange incense in her bedroom, the first smell of nothing, after a long time, it will make people feel soft, mental emptiness and weakness, this incense in a large number of jasmine, sandalwood, ambergris, orange blossom, civet and angelica sand kernels mixed with another spice called "nutmeg", this spice is also called "cactus toxin", if you smell a little, it can make people feel happy and happy, but more can hallucinate and even make people faint.

She sprinkled a large amount of spice mixed with "nutmeg" in the butter lamp, and the aroma of this incense will become stronger and stronger when it burns, so she is not worried that the two old servants who are guarding outside the ancestral hall will chase them out.

And because she had already sipped a piece of ginger in her mouth, and deliberately held her breath when she sprinkled the spice, she was not paralyzed by the spice.

On the contrary, at this time, her spirit is still sober and invigorated.

It was the time when the masters of the mansion had all fallen asleep, and it was a good time for her to visit her biological mother, Shen, and she still had a lot of unclear truths to ask Shen.

Thinking like this, Gu Yu quickened his pace, pulled the mask on the ramen and walked along the winding path, under the night, the surrounding area was full of beautiful trees and strange flowers, after walking out of this sheep intestine path, there was a road up the mountain in front, and it was not difficult to see a corner of the eaves hidden between the col and tree branches.

Gu Yu continued to move forward, but saw that there seemed to be a silver belt shining under the moonlight, and when he looked closer, it was actually a clear stream pouring from the depths of the flowers and trees under the stone gap, and the road was getting wider and wider, and the house with a corner of the eaves exposed was getting closer and closer.

If Gu Yu is not mistaken, it should be the Mulan Courtyard where the Shen family is imprisoned, compared with the pavilions and pavilions and palaces of the lacquered tiles and golden bells and silver Yingcheng beams in the Gu Mansion, this house isolated on the mountain col really looks extremely desolate and lonely, as if it is just a belisk standing on top of the chaotic post.

Gu Yu thought of the Shen family in his memory, a blurred back in red clothes, unable to see his face clearly, but he could also feel the woman's flamboyance, but in an instant, he became a ragged and skinny waste, like a rag doll was rolled in a straw mat, originally it was nothing for a concubine who made a mistake to die in the family compound, but after Shen's death, Mrs. Gu unexpectedly held a funeral for her and sent the obituary, but unfortunately Wuxing Shen only sent a few concubines and concubines from side branches to worship in front of Shen's mourning hall. And Shen's only surviving brother, her own uncle never showed up.

However, when she later became the Empress Dowager Chu, she learned that it was at that time that her uncle went to the front line of Luoyang, and only used the 500 parts he recruited to fight to the death against the Xianbei god of war Murong Ke and Murong Chui, but in the end, he was captured by Murong Ke and martyred because of the exhaustion of food and no reinforcements.

While thinking about these in her mind, Gu Yu's footsteps had unconsciously reached the top of the mountain, but at this moment, a hand suddenly reached out in the darkness and pulled her into the sycamore forest on the side.

At the same time, a cry rang in her ears: "Who? "Torches were lit ahead, and a group of sturdy soldiers chased after them from where the torches were lit.

It turned out that the Shen family was not only locked up in the Mulan Courtyard, but also arranged so many subordinates to guard the Gu Mansion!

This had to surprise Gu Yu, the Shen family was just a concubine, was it necessary to arrange so many people to guard it?

As soon as she finished thinking in her heart, she heard a pleasant man's voice and said: "The Shen family is the daughter of the martial arts sect, and she has been learning martial arts with her father and brothers since she was a child. ”

Gu Yu reflexively turned around, and saw a long green shadow standing against a tree under the moonlight. The man wore a hat and his face was hidden behind him, and when the wind blew, she could only see a chin as beautiful as jade. He was wearing an extremely simple kudzu shirt covered with a green robe, with big sleeves fluttering in the wind, and on the surface he didn't look like a child of a rich family, but on closer inspection, Gu Yu found that there was something hanging around his waist that could glow with an extremely warm light in the moonlight.

It was a jade pendant, but it was by no means made of ordinary jade, Gu Yu knew that this was a beautiful jade from Lantian that could be used to make jade seals, and was known as the famous "He's Bi" in the Qin period.

"Who are you?" Gu Yu couldn't help but blurt out.

In the quiet of the night, the insect chirped, and the man seemed to be thinking about something, and hesitated for a moment before he replied unhurriedly: "A luthier!" ”

"The luthier?"

Gu Yu was slightly stunned, her tone showed doubt, she knew that with the current county prestige of the Gu family, it would not be difficult to invite a second-class scholar to teach the Gu family's Langjun sisters-in-law. But although this young man is dressed plainly, he wears Lantian jade with him, and judging from his calm and calm bearing, it can also be seen that his identity is not ordinary.

So she asked: "Dare to ask Lang Jun, where is the county?" ”

The man chuckled, as if looking up at the twinkling stars in the northeast corner of the night.

"I'm just a son of a poor family, and I don't dare to say that I want to be a county." He replied.

Gu Yu smiled, this reason may be reasonable if she deceived a sister-in-law who is not familiar with the world, but judging from her ability to recognize people in her previous life and her experience of dealing with the top people in many families, she would never believe that this man was just a child of a poor family?

This is not her prejudice against the world, but the extremely strict hierarchy of the family, which has created an unattainable momentum that the sons of those families have developed by nature, and even if the Hanmen Zi is talented, he has to be inferior because of his Shu background, so the Han Menzi has always looked up with a humble attitude in front of the children of the family, and he may not raise his head at all - this is the world's difference between the clouds and mud between the subordinates and the soldiers, and the gap that can never be crossed.

And this person not only does not have half a bit of humility, but inadvertently reveals a calm bearing and noble temperament that he seems to have from his body.

"Son of a poor family?" Gu Yu chuckled, her eyes lit up sharply, as if she was about to shoot directly into the man's face through the curtain, and immediately, she smiled again and said, "Okay, then dare to ask, since Lang Jun is a pianist in my Gu Mansion, why does he do such a ghostly thing?" ”

The man tilted his head slightly, as if he didn't expect her to ask so directly, and he also smiled, and actually asked: "Dare to ask the girl, as an unfavored concubine in the Gu Mansion, why did you stun the servants inside and outside the Gu family ancestral hall with incense in the middle of the night, and come here to do such a ghostly thing?" ”

After he finished speaking, Gu Yu's face changed greatly, his eyes lit up, and he stared at the blurred face hidden behind the veil again.

"You're stalking me?" Gu Yu said angrily.

The man laughed instead of being angry, and replied in an extremely low and pleasant voice: "You want to see your biological mother, maybe I can help you?" ”

"Who the hell are you?"

Speaking of this, Gu Yu already had some anger and bad feelings in her heart, in her previous life, she was used as a pawn, and everything she did was under the control of others, but in this life and this life, she swore that she would never be at any mercy again, and naturally she didn't want anyone to peep into her privacy.

But as soon as she finished asking, she heard a burst of messy footsteps and noise.

"There's a voice over there, go over there and take a look!"

Through the leafy woods, Gu Yu saw that it was the several subordinates who were guarding outside the wooden lan who were chasing this side with torches, and as soon as she moved, she was about to retreat to a more hidden place behind, at this moment, her wrist tightened, but it was the man wearing the hat who held her hand and whispered: "This is an opportunity for you, I will lead these parts away for you!" ”

Seeing that those torches were already approaching, Gu Yu didn't have time to think about it, so he nodded at the man, and with a dodge, he fell into the grass on one side, and at the same time, the man also walked forward quickly.

"Here, catch him!" One of the tribes shouted first, and in an instant, almost all the tribes patrolling outside the Mulan courtyard rushed in, and soon surrounded the man.

Although Gu Yu didn't have much affection for this man, seeing that this person was in trouble because of himself, he couldn't help but feel guilty again, and when he was thinking about whether to come forward to rescue, he saw the man turn his head sideways again, and the gaze under the hat seemed to shoot at her.

Gu Yu understood that this was signaling her to leave quickly, not to live up to his kindness, and immediately no longer hesitated, climbed a locust tree with both hands, and when she reached the top of the tree, she jumped up to the roof of the Mulan Courtyard with the help of the power of the branches, and slid down several times dexterously, and she fell into the main hall of the Mulan Courtyard.

There was a butter lamp lit in the main hall, and Gu Yu took advantage of the light of the lamp to look around, but saw that the house was as messy as ruins, scattered everywhere with dead branches and leaves and broken cotton cloth, and even some moldy leftover vegetable cakes attracted countless rats, insects and cockroaches, and the room was not only damp as if it had not seen sunlight for many years, but also exuded a very unpleasant rancid smell.

This is where her birth mother lives?

Gu Yu couldn't help but moisten her eyes, as if she couldn't believe it at all, and strode inside, a door was pushed open, she held a butter lamp in her hand, and shone it in a faint light, and saw a woman in red with a cloak of hair sitting on the edge of a cradle, her hand seemed to be gently pushing the cradle, humming an unknown song in her mouth.

This is the Shen family?

Is this her birth mother?

Gu Yu suddenly felt that his voice was a little hoarse, and he choked for a long time before he called softly: "A-Niang-"
