When Cao Zhen heard this, his eyebrows suddenly lifted, and at this moment, the atmosphere in Gu's mansion seemed to have frozen.

He stared at Gu Shen for a long time before he looked away, looked at Gu Qingyan, and said, "No matter what, I am sincere to you Qingyan, no matter what others say, I will not give up easily." ”

After saying this, Cao Zhen turned around and left, and when those servants saw this, they put down their things one by one, and then followed closely behind Cao Zhen and left the Gu Mansion in turn.

Seeing Cao Zhen leaving, Gu Chengfeng's family of three was also relieved, Gu Chengfeng looked at the silk and satin and various jewelry, and said to Gu Shen: "Da Lang, what should I do with these things?" ”

Gu Shen smiled faintly and said, "Since people are willing to give it, then let's just accept it." ”

"This ......" Gu Chengfeng hesitated a little and said, "Isn't it a little bad?" ”

Gu Shen said: "It's okay, second uncle, these things are not worth mentioning to the Pingxi Hou Mansion, just a dime, take it, don't accept it." ”

Seeing that Gu Shen said so, Gu Chengfeng could only nod, "reluctantly" accepted the things, and ordered his subordinates to take these things down.

After coming to the study, Gu Chengfeng frowned sadly, and said to Gu Shen worriedly: "Da Lang, Cao Zhen didn't get what he wanted today, I'm afraid that he will secretly be unfavorable to Qingyan." ”

Gu Chengfeng is so old, and with such a precious daughter as Gu Qingyan, he doesn't want her to be hurt in any way.

Gu Shen soothed: "Don't worry, second uncle, in a short period of time, then Cao Zhen doesn't dare to do anything." ”

With Gu Shen here, he didn't worry about what means Cao Zhen used, no matter how bad it was, Gu Qingyan would follow him every time he went out.

But if he Jingtiansi had a mission and left Tiandu because of this, then no one could guarantee Gu Qingyan's safety, and Gu Shen was worried about this.

Although the few people standing behind Gu Shen are worthy of Cao Zhen's jealousy, if he is really anxious, maybe Cao Zhen will do something.

Gu Shenjian's eyebrows frowned slightly, but he didn't expect Cao Zhen to really become a big trouble.

……

On the evening of the second day, Gu Shen followed Chen Yu to the Liangguo Mansion in the inner city.

The Liangguo Mansion covers an area of hundreds of acres, with pavilions and pavilions, countless water pavilion courtyards, and the entire Guogong Mansion is prosperous and exquisite, only in the Huaiwang Mansion where Gu Shen went last time.

Today is the day of the 72nd birthday of Liangguo Highway Sheng, and many big people in Tiandu have come to attend the banquet in person, including some court officials and nobles from all walks of life.

The entire Liangguo Mansion was overcrowded and bustling, so lively.

After Chen Yu's carriage came to the gate of the Guogong Mansion, he took Gu Shen out of the carriage and handed the invitation card in his hand to the servant at the door, and after the servant at the door took the invitation, he shouted loudly: "Jingtiansi Chen Yu Chen commanded the envoy to arrive!" ”

Liangguo Highway Sheng is seventy this year, born in the army, when he was young, he led the army with first-class combat ability, he was a rare handsome talent in Daxia, and he also made great contributions to Daxia, after retiring from the army, Emperor Xia was grateful for his merits, and was hereby awarded the position of "Guogong".

Even Pingxi Hou, who is now very good at leading troops to fight in Great Xia, admires the Duke of Liangguo, because before him, it was the Duke of Liangguo who sat on the border and helped the Great Xia deter foreign barbarians, at that time, the current Xia Emperor had not yet ascended the throne.

Liang Guogong was a burly old man with a resolute face, with white hair and a beard, sitting there like an old lion, very powerful.

"I've seen Liang Guogong."

Chen Yu walked in with Gu Shen, and the two of them saluted Liang Guogong, who was sitting on the top.

"No need to be polite, please get up."

Liang Guogong said with a smile, when Chen Yu was still the envoy of the capital, he met Chen Yu by chance, and felt that Chen Yu's personality was very appetizing to him, and he also helped Chen Yu a lot during Chen Yu's growth.

The friendship between the two was also formed at that time.

In fact, Chen Yu himself was competitive enough, step by step, and in just a few years, he became the youngest commander in Great Xia.

Liang Guogong was born in the army, and he didn't deal with those civil officials and Confucian ministers very well, and in his heart, he preferred an unruly martial artist like Chen Yu, in his opinion, the eldest husband should be like this.

Of course, after all, he is in Tiandu, he has retreated from the border, and he will meet every morning, and the peace that should be there is still maintained on the surface, so there are many civil officials who come to his birthday banquet today, but they are mainly military generals.

The other nobles present and the ministers of Great Xia also knew that Liang Guogong was optimistic about Chen Yu, after all, he was the youngest commander of Jingtiansi, and he had a promising future, so they all stepped forward to greet Chen Yu.

In this hall, the lowest status is the fourth rank of the dynasty, as well as some nobles and generals, Gu Shen is a small envoy, it is really inconspicuous, and no one wants to ask.

Because of Chen Yu's relationship, at this time, Liang Guogong turned his eyes, looked at Gu Shen, and said, "Who is this?" ”

Chen Yu arched his hand and said loudly: "This is an envoy under my command, named Gu Shen, his talent is good, even more than I was back then, today is the birthday of the Duke of Liangguo, I want to bring him over to see the world." ”

"Oh?"

Hearing that Gu Shen's talent surpassed Chen Yu, Liang Guogong suddenly became interested, looked at Gu Shen carefully, nodded, and said: "The body is strong, the blood is full, it is indeed good, it is a good seedling to practice martial arts, no accident, and he is also a commander candidate." ”

Gu Shen clenched his fists and said respectfully: "Duke Liang Guo has a good reputation, and this achievement of the lower officials is really nothing compared to Lord Chen." ”

At this time, Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "Lord Guogong, where is Miss Xinlan?" ”

Liang Guogong said with a smile: "She is with those young people in the side hall, and she is not willing to be in the company of us who are old." ”

As he spoke, he laughed again and quipped, "I almost forgot, Master Chen, your age is not very old." ”

Chen Yu smiled slightly, didn't care, and said: "Gu Shen is also a young man, I think that Miss Xinlan is too, the two of them are together, they should have a lot to talk about." ”

When all the ministers and nobles present heard this, they immediately knew that Chen Yu was here with Gu Shen on a blind date.

Liang Guogong naturally heard the deep meaning of Chen Yu's words, he nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, young people really shouldn't be with us people, it will become too late, Ah Fu, call Xinlan over." ”

"Yes, sir."

An old man beside Liang Guogong answered, silently retreated, and soon, he walked in with a woman.

This woman's name is Lu Xinlan, she is the granddaughter of Liangguo Lusheng, she is loved by Liangguo Gong, and she has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child, but she has not developed that arrogant and domineering character.

"Grandpa."

Lu Xinlan gave a salute to Lu Sheng Yingying, she had bright eyebrows and bright teeth, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, a slightly pointed chin, and a head full of green silk tied up with a jade belt, without the slightest powder, but still beautiful.

"Xinlan has seen you." Immediately, Lu Xinlan saluted Chen Yu and the others again, and also saw Gu Shen standing beside Chen Yu.

"I haven't seen her for a while, but Miss Xinlan is really getting more and more pretty." Uncle Ding Yuan of Great Xia said with a smile.

"Uncle Liang is overrated." Lu Xinlan smiled lightly and said softly, her voice was soft, and it was as pleasant as a beating note in her ears.

"This is Gu Shen of Jingtiansi, brought by Lord Chen, you are both young people, there must be a lot of topics, so you can take him to visit our Liangguo Mansion." Liang Guogong said softly.

"Yes."

Lu Xinlan answered, walked in front of Gu Shen, and said softly: "Master Gu, let's go, Xinlan will take you around the Guogong Mansion." ”

"I'm sorry Miss Xinlan."

Gu Shen nodded, and after bowing to the many dignitaries in the main hall, he left with Lu Xinlan.

The occasion here is not suitable for him to participate, this group of bigwigs gather here, there must be something important to discuss, not something that Gu Shen can get involved.

Out of the main hall, the bright moonlight sprinkled from the sky, shining on Lu Xinlan, who was walking in front, and her whole person was glowing.

Not only is she very beautiful, but she also has a good figure, this is a woman who is not inferior to his sister Gu Qingyan in all aspects.

It's a pity that Gu Shen really didn't have this idea, so he could only waste Chen Yu's hard work.

"What is Master Gu thinking?" Lu Xinlan turned around and saw that Gu Shen was a little distracted, so she asked.

When Gu Shen heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something just now, Miss Xinlan doesn't have to call me Master Gu, just call me by my name as Miss Xinlan." ”

Lu Xinlan nodded, and didn't say much, after all, there was still a layer of estrangement between the two when they met for the first time.

She also understood what her grandfather meant, and made herself close to Gu Shen, mainly because she was seventeen years old this year, and she was also at the age when she should leave the cabinet.

But Lu Xinlan has her own ideas, the Liangguo Mansion has been influenced by Lu Sheng's own, and the martial arts are quite prosperous, and even Lu Xinlan herself has the cultivation of the Tongmai realm.

She herself has also thought about her own mate selection criteria, and in her opinion, her own martial arts talent is not bad, so she also wants to find a like-minded person.

However, before the martial arts had achieved a certain level, she really didn't have much thought about it.

But after all, it was Lu Sheng's order, and she didn't want to be too rude, so she took Gu Shen to browse the scenery of the Guogong Mansion, and the two also chatted with each other.

Gu Shen also saw it, the other party didn't seem to take a fancy to him, but he didn't care much, after all, he was still self-aware, although his skin was good in this life, it would not make others fall in love at first sight.

Walking and walking, the Guogong Mansion had already finished the tour, and at this time, Lu Xinlan said: "Gu Gongzi, there are still many young people gathering in the side hall on the side, let's go over too." ”

"Okay." Gu Shen nodded.

Subsequently, the two came to a side hall of the Guogong Mansion, where the scenery is very beautiful, there is a pond at the door, the pond water is bubbling and flowing, and some flowers and plants are planted around, which is pleasing to the eye.

The young people in this side hall are all the sons and daughters of the powerful people in the main hall, talking here.

As soon as Lu Xinlan came in, she attracted the attention of countless people, and immediately everyone looked over, and when Lu Xinlan walked into the door, they also saw Gu Shen who was following Lu Xinlan.

"Miss Xinlan, who is this person?" A tall, rugged-looking man asked.

He is the son of Liang Wei, Dingyuanbo, named Liang Xu, who has been in love with Lu Xinlan for a long time, and his pursuit of Lu Xinlan has also obtained the permission of his father Dingyuanbo.

At this time, Gu Shen found Cao Zhen, and it was obvious that Cao Zhen was obviously a little surprised when he saw Gu Shen.

Immediately, he held a wine glass, stepped forward, and introduced Liang Xu: "Brother Liang, I don't know, this Brother Gu Shen Gu is the most potential envoy of Tiandu's generation, and he is deeply valued by Chen Yu Chen's commander, and he is also famous in the rivers and lakes, ranking first in the star list. ”
