At the Qionglin banquet, Gu Yu was out of the limelight, and there were countless praises.

The banquet dispersed, and when Gu Yu followed the hundred officials out, he met Gu Xiuwen, who had gone away with Gu Xiang for some reason.

Before Gu Yu appeared, Gu Xiuwen was the most outstanding person in the Gu family, and there were countless eyes on him.

But these toutings that once belonged only to him have now fallen on Gu Yu's body, and such a gap is difficult to balance in anyone's heart, and he will be more or less angry when facing Gu Yu.

But Gu Xiuwen didn't.

He first bowed respectfully to Gu Yu and called out gently, "Big brother." ”

Gu Yu talked about the length of his age, and his eldest brother was not abrupt.

Gu Yu didn't expect him to take the initiative to talk to him, and after a subtle pause, he smiled lightly: "Gu Sizheng doesn't have to be so polite. ”

Replacing one's official position with one is a common practice in officialdom.

There is nothing wrong with saying this, but the premise is that the person who is talking to is not a blood brother.

Gu Xiuwen heard Gu Yu's indifference and there was a little helplessness between his eyebrows, and said with a wry smile: "Big brother, are you annoyed that I didn't go to see you earlier?" ”

He didn't wait for Gu Yu to answer, so he said to himself: "Speaking of which, when the eldest brother returned to Beijing, I should have picked you up as soon as possible, but I have not been able to make time for my previous official duties, and I am very negligent as a younger brother, and I don't blame the eldest brother for annoying me." ”

"I haven't found a chance to talk to my eldest brother today, and I finally ran into it now, why don't we talk while walking?"

Gu Yu drank a lot of wine, and thought that Su Jin at home had no intention of delaying more, so he simply said: "I understand Gu Sizheng's kindness, but it's a pity that there are other things at home, I'm afraid it's not good to delay." ”

"If there's nothing too important, let's talk about it another day."

He refused clearly, even if Gu Xiuwen had many good words and sentences in his stomach, he couldn't find a chance to get out, and after being stunned for a moment, he could only say: "Since this is the case, it is better for me to say it directly." ”

"When is the eldest brother going to come home and see?"

Su Jin has entered the Gu family, but since Gu Yu came back, he has never set foot in the Gu family.

Everyone was waiting to see how he planned it, and Gu Xiuwen was no exception.

He wanted to know what Gu Yu's next plan was.

Seeing that Gu Yu was silent, he slowed down his tone and said: "Father's temper is like this, it's not that he deliberately snubbed or embarrassed, why should the eldest brother fight with his father?" ”

"Anyway, my father is a blood elder, even if there is negligence, then the child should be more considerate, since the eldest brother is back now, he always lives outside and it doesn't sound like a word, maybe it will make outsiders have a lot of unwarranted speculation for no reason."

"I don't mean anything else when I say this today, I just want to persuade the eldest brother, where is there any overnight feud between father and son? Why don't you move home earlier, sit down and talk openly and honestly about the misunderstanding with your father, and how good it would be for the family to live in harmony in the future, what do you say? ”

Gu Xiuwen's words were reasonable, and there sounded like there was nothing wrong with them.

He even said thoughtfully: "Don't worry, eldest brother, I will explain it to my father well when I go back, and the family's affairs will be clarified in a few words, why bother to this stalemate?" ”

Gu Yu listened to him and the family was amused, and curled her lips playfully and said, "Do you really want me to go back?" ”

Gu Xiuwen nodded without changing his face.

"That's nature."

Gu Yu smiled.

"That's good."

Capturing the flickering stagnation in Gu Xiuwen's eyes, Gu Yu casually dusted his fingertips and said leisurely: "Then there is Lao Gu Si who is talking about it, and when the misunderstanding is said to return to the Gu family, I will reward myself with a good wine." ”

"I don't want to worry about this matter, so I won't delay your time here, and I will take my leave."

Gu Xiuwen stood in place and watched Gu Yu walk away, his fingers curled up in his cuffs clenched silently.

Is this person joking, or does he really have the intention of looking back at home?

If he does go back, then ......

Gu Yu strode out, and Zhao Qiping, who came up, snorted meaningfully, leaned closer and whispered: "Don't be confused by a few big brother calls, Gu Xiuwen is not a good thing." ”

Zhao Qiping is the son of a serious family, and his father and brother are all serving in the court.

He grew up in the capital since he was a child and knows much more than Gu Yu.

He didn't care about Gu Yu's silence at all, and hooked Gu Yu's shoulder and whispered: "Before you came back, this person was Gu Xiang's heir, but when you came back, you were much more eye-catching than him, and it is difficult to say whether the candidate in Gu Xiang's heart is still so firm." ”

"This man is smiling like a tiger, very hypocritical, he can't take anything he says seriously, and he remembers how many more eyes."

Although Gu Yu seems to be the kind with a lot of eyes.

Gu Yu didn't expect that the person he met for the first time today would say such a thing to him, so he was dumbfounded for a moment and laughed: "Why did you think of telling me this?" ”

Zhao Qi spread his hands and smiled flatly: "Because I don't like Gu Xiuwen." ”

Moreover, the Zhao family and the Zuo family are intersecting for generations, Gu Yu's mother is still the goddaughter of the old lady of the Zhao family, if you want to talk about distant relatives, he should actually call Gu Yu a brother.

He was too lazy to say anything else, and patted Gu Yu's chest and said, "I will be a colleague in the future, you can play with me if you have nothing to do, remember to send me an invitation when you get married, I want to come to drink the wedding wine." ”

"Gone!"

Zhao Qiping waved his hand and left.

Gu Yu refused the carriage that took him home, avoided the constant noise behind him, and walked slowly in the direction of the Splendid Pavilion alone.

It was the first time he had walked on the streets of the capital late at night.

Different from the small county town he was familiar with, the streets of the capital were extremely wide, even late at night, the candles and lanterns on the streets were hung high, and the noise of fireworks came and went.

He walked step by step along the street, the indescribable impetuousness in his heart, and slowly fell into the invisible depths of his heart with every step he walked steadily.

After today, others will call him Master Gu.

It is not the young master of the Zuo family, nor is it the eldest young master of the Gu family who was found.

He has his own identity and his own name.

He's just himself.

His own glory does not need to be touched by anyone's light, but he can give everything he gets to the person on the top of his heart.

Qiuli, who was guarding the door, saw Gu Yu coming from a distance, and just wanted to catch up, but couldn't help laughing when she saw what Gu Yu was holding in her hand.

A delicate-looking lantern, a ridiculously large sugar man.

You can tell who these two things are for at a glance.

She smelled the smell of wine on Gu Yu's body, and subconsciously stretched out her hand and said, "The slave maid helps the master to hold things, you can go in first." ”

"The shopkeeper is waiting for you."

Gu Yu shook his head and didn't let go, pinching the things in his hand, and there was an indescribable nervousness in his heart that was not cramped when he was personally questioned by the emperor in the palace examination.

He looked down at his body and whispered, "The smell of alcohol on my body is smoky?" ”

Qiu Li smiled and shook her head: "It's okay." ”

"That's good."

Gu Yu exhaled and said, "You go and get busy, I'll go in and find Ah Jin." ”

"By the way, you go and help me talk to the teacher and Lu Lao, and say that I am back."

He hasn't come back yet, and the second elder must be waiting.

But now he wants to see Su Jin.

Qiu Li lowered her head and didn't say anything else, and only laughed a few times when she watched Gu Yu go in.

The second elder wanted to wait for Gu Yu to come back.

It's just that I'm so happy today, the two old men are so drunk that they have already gone into the house to rest.

Gu Yu quickly entered the inner room with the things he brought back for Su Jin, and as soon as the person walked to the door, Su Jin put down the things in his hand.

She looked at Gu Yu with a smile and said jokingly, "Oh, let's see whose handsome guy is here?" ”

"It turned out that our freshly baked champion Lang has returned."
