"I heard that on the second day after you arrived in the capital, you went to Xu's house to visit Xu Chengyu, the head of Luxi Academy. If you know you're going to visit your teacher, why don't you know to visit us? ”

Gu Mingxuan's eyes stared at Gu Yunji fixedly, the question in his eyes was too obvious, and he looked like he was settling the account.

Gu Yunji was asked by him for a while, and said with a smile: "Uncle Cousin is the chief examiner of this year's exam, and my eldest brother and I are exam-takers, the reason why we didn't come to visit is to avoid suspicion, not to mention that we also have correspondence......

"What about me? I'm not an examiner who can take the exam, so I don't need to avoid suspicion, right? Before he could finish speaking, Gu Mingxuan interrupted, "There are a lot of people in our Songjiang Gu clan in the capital, although most of you are not familiar with each other, but I should know each other, right?" Since you came to the capital, you didn't come to see my cousin? ”

When going out, the first thing is to visit old friends, relatives and friends, and the two Gu Yunji brothers naturally understand this truth. But Gu Mingxuan has been an official outside for many years, Gu Yunji and Gu Yunxiao are not very familiar with him, plus Gu Yunxiao's family was not valued before Gu Yunxiao's promotion, and they had little contact with the Gu family in Fucheng, and the original body still saw Gu Mingxuan once or twice when he was a child, and the relationship was not very close.

The most important thing is that Gu Mingxuan is now the son-in-law of the county king of Pingyang, and lives in the county king's mansion with his wife Yonghe county lord. Without an elder like Gu Yuanhui to take the lead, Gu Yunji and the others really couldn't rush to the gate of the county palace, so they kept dragging it out and didn't go to see Gu Mingxuan, who knew that he actually found it by himself.

Although he thought like this in his heart, he couldn't say this in his face, and in the face of Gu Mingxuan's questioning, Gu Yunji was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to answer.

Gu Yunxiao stood up and explained: "When we first arrived in the capital, it was the New Year of Layue, and the king of Pingyang County had a great prestige among the clansmen, and there should be many guests visiting during that time, and the mansion must be very busy, so it is not good to disturb it." What's more, my cousin is busy with official business on weekdays, and it is rare to have leisure in the first month, and all our cousins in the capital have already arranged them, so I don't want to trouble you. ”

Gu Mingxuan didn't give up when he heard this, but let out a long sigh, his expression pretending to be sad: "In the final analysis, it is still the neglect of you all these years that makes you feel guilty, so I am worried about this and that." If you really treat me as your own family, you will go directly to the county palace, how can you care so much. ”

Gu Yunji's eyebrows jumped wildly when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "What did Cousin Mingxuan say, we are cousins, and we are all from the same clan in our own family, how can we treat you as an outsider?" This time, my eldest brother and I were negligent, and we were free another day, and we went to the door in person to apologize to my cousin. ”

Gu Yunxiao was afraid that Gu Mingxuan would really be sad, so he hurriedly added: "I don't need to change the day, why don't my cousins stay for a light meal today?" I'm going to book a banquet! ”

"Not really."

Gu Mingxuan sniffed, his sad expression was immediately cleaned, his face became as fast as turning a book, his expression instantly returned to calm, and he said seriously: "I made an appointment with my wife today to go to the river to enjoy the flowers, let's go to the river to enjoy the flowers another day." ”

He just pretended to be emotional? The sad look of relatives was almost deceived by him, and his acting skills are really good. Gu Yunji gritted his teeth, and his expression almost didn't stop.

Gu Mingxuan took a sip of the teacup, as if he had forgotten how sad and true his feelings were, and said casually: "There is no need to eat, and I will talk about it when you are free." Today, I have been entrusted by my cousin to come to see you on his behalf, and to tell you a few points about the main points of the test. ”

It turned out that Gu Mingxuan not only didn't take their negligent visit to heart, but even took the initiative to visit them out of his original intention, but just came on behalf of Gu Yuanhui. He was still a little guilty because of him, and felt that he had failed Gu Mingxuan's true intentions, but in fact, people didn't care at all, but he was self-inflicted.

Anyway, Gu Yuanhui's face still has to be given. Gu Yunji suppressed the speechlessness in his heart, but he maintained the kind smile on his face, and made a deferential appearance: "Cousin Mingxuan, please speak." ”

"Ahem, ahem." Gu Mingxuan put down the teacup and cleared his throat, and was about to speak, but looking at the two pairs of serious and focused eyes in front of him, he suddenly lost the desire to speak, so he picked up the teacup again:

"Forget it, it's a cliché anyway, why answer the questions carefully, don't stain the papers...... Presumably your ears can afford to hear calluses, so I won't waste my tongue, so pay more attention to yourselves. ”

waited with his ears pricked up for a long time, but only waited for such a sentence, Gu Yunji almost didn't hang up in one breath.

It's one thing for them to like to listen to it or not, but it's another thing for Gu Mingxuan to say it or not, how can anyone come all the way to say "pay more attention to yourself"? He's not too much trouble.

No wonder Xu Shujing had such a bad attitude when he first saw Gu Yunji, if he wanted to change his colleagues, there was such a person who was good at changing his face, speaking angrily and acting amazingly, he still had to be tortured and crazy, so he naturally caught whoever bit whom.

As if sensing that Gu Yunji was saying bad things about himself in his heart, Gu Mingxuan glanced at him with raised his eyes, and asked casually, "I heard that Cousin Yunji took the Xie Yuan exam last year?" ”

Gu Yunji smoothed his breath and smiled again: "Yes." ”

"It's really good to be able to pass the Xie Yuan exam at the age of seventeen." Gu Mingxuan nodded appreciatively, "If my cousin can win this test, it will be the first day of the Gu family's century." ”

The smile on the corner of Gu Yunji's mouth stiffened, lest his ears be misheard: "...... What, a hundred years...... The first day? ”

Gu Mingxuan's expression remained unchanged, and he explained seriously: "I am a seventeen-year-old junior high school scholar at the age of twenty, and I am known as the first day of the Gu family's hundred years, and my cousin is also a seventeen-year-old middle student, and I am currently temporarily listed for the second day. When you get into the Jinshi this time, your speed will surpass me, and you deserve it on the first day of the Gu family's hundred years. ”

Gu Yunji took a deep breath and looked at Gu Mingxuan with a little admiration in his eyes. How did Gu Mingxuan say such an exaggerated and shameful word as "the first day of a hundred years" calmly? Still speaking so calmly?

The name of genius has always been given by others, and no one will take the initiative to put it on their heads. What's more, although the twenty-year-old middle jinshi is rare, it is not rare in the world, even if it is placed within the Gu family, it can only be regarded as relatively outstanding in recent decades, and it is not enough to be the first day of a hundred years.

It seems that the gap between Gu Mingxuan and Gu Mingan is not as big as Gu Kaili imagined, at least in terms of face, the brothers are simply as thick as they are.

Before Gu Yunji could think about how to reply, he saw Gu Mingxuan look at the sky outside, suddenly stood up and said, "It's not early, I should go back to accompany my wife to enjoy the flowers." I wish the two cousins success in this meeting and farewell. With that, he turned around and left without waiting for the two of them to react.

Looking at Gu Mingxuan's distant back, Gu Yunji finally came back to his senses after a long while, and spoke with some difficulty: ...... Cousin Mingxuan's temperament is really unexpected......"

"Yes." Gu Yunxiao shook his head and smiled, and gave a very incisive word, "The personality is very rich." ”
