Chapter 165: Meet Gu Mingxuan
After being separated for more than half a year, he finally saw his little disciple again, although Xu Chengyu was not good at expressing it, his heart was full of joy. left Gu Yunji and the three of them for dinner, and took out his treasured autumn dew during the banquet, and dragged them to drink with him.
The autumn dew is white, but the stamina is very great, Gu Yunji has already learned it a few years ago. At the moment, it seems that he doesn't have a long memory, in order to make Xu Chengyu happy, he drank a lot of glasses with him, and finally he was overwhelmed by the wine, and gloriously became the first person to sleep on the spot.
When I woke up again the next morning, I was already in the room of the Imperial Examination Hall. Gu Yunji drank a little fragmented, and originally didn't remember yesterday's events very clearly, but Xu Dong retold the experience:
Seeing that Xu Chengyu took out the autumn dew white, Xu Shuhua intimately ordered someone to boil the wine soup. It's just that he didn't expect Gu Yunji to get drunk so quickly, he was only slightly red in the last second, chatting calmly, and the next second he fell on the table with a bang, and fell asleep without warning, and he didn't even have time to serve the hangover soup.
In the past few years, not only has the amount of alcohol not grown, but it has even regressed to this point, and he is drunk in front of a large room of people. Listening to Xu Dong's colorful description, Gu Yunji could almost imagine how embarrassing the scene was at that time, and for a while he didn't know whether to regret that the reunion with the Xu family's father and daughter was interrupted like this, or whether to be glad that his wine was acceptable, and he just fell asleep after getting drunk, and there was no other excesses.
Time flies, the snow in the capital falls one after another, and Chinese New Year's Eve crackles in the sound of firecrackers. This is the fourth Spring Festival that Gu Yunji has ever had since he crossed, and it is also the most lonely Spring Festival he has ever had, with no reunion dinner, no new clothes, and no smiling faces and care from his family.
Even in the festive New Year, the imperial examination hall is still as boring as ever, only a few greeting letters with Gu Yuanhui, and a few years of occasional visits to Xu's house, can make him feel a rare little New Year's flavor.
The days passed, the snow on the road unconsciously melted into the warmth of spring, and in a blink of an eye it was the end of February, and there were more than ten days before the examination of this imperial examination.
In the evening of this day, Gu Yunji, who had been reading in the room for a day, was about to go out for a walk, when he saw Xu Dong coming to report: "Young master, there is a young man looking for you outside, and he is waiting in the lobby on the first floor at the moment." ”
Gu Yunji subconsciously thought that Ren Yingze had come to the door, so he asked, "Young man?" But the one I met outside the restaurant when I first arrived in the capital? ”
Xu Dong shook his head: "It's not him, this one looks like he's in his twenties, and he didn't report his name, he just said that he was looking for you." ”
Gu Yunji was puzzled in his heart, and when he walked to the first floor, he saw a young man sitting in the lobby drinking tea, this person had a handsome face, and his clothes were low-key but not luxurious. Hearing the movement downstairs, he lifted his eyelids slightly, and before Gu Yunji could speak, he took the lead in asking:
"You are the second day of the Gu family in the past hundred years-Gu Yunji?"
A hundred years before the second day? What kind of arrogant and bizarre title is this? This person didn't introduce himself as soon as he came up, but threw out such a sentence without a beginning or an end, which is really inexplicable.
Gu Yunji's brows furrowed slightly, his expression quickly returned to peace, and he bowed his hand slightly towards him: "It's Gu Yunji below, dare to ask Your Excellency what to call him?" ”
The man did not answer directly, but blew the tea foam in the cup by himself, and his tone was careless: "If you don't deny the title of the second day of a hundred years, that is, you admit it?" I can't see that you're a little arrogant. ”
Raising his eyes casually, after catching a glimpse of the tiredness on Gu Yunji's face, his eyes paused, and his words turned unexpected: "Although it is to prepare for the imperial examination, you can't keep yourself in the room all day studying, it is easy to suffocate your body." Now that the test is coming, we still have to take care of our body, and it is the right way to take a step by step, and it is also good to rest properly to recharge our energy and prepare for the big exam. ”
One moment is demeaning, and the other is caring, this person preaches and instructs Gu Yunji like an elder without introducing his identity and intentions, but he still looks leisurely and calm, and he never looks at him a few times from beginning to end, which is really unpleasant.
Gu Yunji suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and his voice sank a little: "How is your body down, don't worry about Your Excellency." I have never met your excellency before, and I think I have nothing to do with each other, so I wonder why you are here this time? If it's all right, please go back. ”
"Yo, the temper is not small, and this is starting to drive people out?" Gu Yunji's tone was not very good, and the man raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, but he was not annoyed, "Actually, you should have seen me, but you were young at that time and had no impression." Now that so many years have passed, my appearance and body shape have changed a little, and it is normal that you don't recognize it. ”
Saw it as a child? So an acquaintance? Could it be a distant relative of the Gu family? Gu Yunji guessed in his heart, and was about to ask, when he heard Gu Yunxiao's voice behind him:
"Are you...... Cousin Mingxuan? ”
The corners of Gu Mingxuan's lips hooked slightly, and he turned his head to look at Gu Yunxiao, who had just walked down from the upper floor, and his tone was pleasantly teasing: "It seems that someone still remembers me." ”
Is he Gu Mingxuan? That Gu Kaili's eldest son, Gu Mingxuan, who was seventeen years old and twenty years old, was known as the most outstanding son of the Gu family in decades?
Gu Yunji was unexpected, and asked in disbelief: "You...... Is it really Mingxuan's cousin? ”
Gu Mingxuan's chin raised slightly: "What?" Not like? Or is it not quite what you imagined? ”
It's not quite the same, indeed. Gu Yunji retracted his gaze and looked him up and down, his expression a little indescribable.
Since the crossing, Gu Yunji has heard Gu Mingxuan's name from his father, brother and elders from time to time, and describing him is full of beautiful words without exception. What talent is outstanding, amazing, what filial piety, deference, sensibility and caring...... made him subconsciously think that Gu Mingxuan was a modest gentleman.
Looking at the person in front of him again, his body was leaning loosely on the chair, and he was still cross-legged, his posture was calm and casual, and the frivolity between his eyebrows was obvious, and he was not a calm and serious personality at first glance.
If it weren't for Gu Mingxuan's appearance to be quite handsome, and his temperament was a little more upright, Gu Yunji would almost think that he was a merry prodigal.
Thinking back, Gu Yunji reacted that his previous attitude was a little offended, so he bowed down and apologized dignifiedly: "Yunji was clumsy for a while, and he didn't recognize cousin Mingxuan, and I hope my cousin will forgive me for the rude words." ”
Gu Mingxuan smiled lightly, but his tone was cool: "It's not in the way." After all, you two brothers haven't visited me in the capital for more than two months, and I'm not angry, so how can I be angry because of this little thing. ”
After scraping the tea foam in the cup, Gu Mingxuan raised his head for a while, his eyes were gloomy: "You said yes, cousin Yunji?" ”
