When I woke up again, it was already the afternoon of this day.

Maybe it was because he slept refreshed, or maybe he returned to a familiar place, Gu Yunqiu's spirit was better, and he was not so worried.

Looking around, the grandmothers who served him were not in the house, and the two little maids around him were also asleep sitting at the door, but on the low table next to the bed, there was an extra stack of oiled paper bags printed with the peach blossom emblem.

Peach blossom is the unique logo of Tao Ji, and the pastry shops in the capital are only Tao Mark prints.

Gu Yunqiu's eyes lit up instantly.

He reached out and took the stack of pastries, which was still warm to the touch - it seemed that the mother concubine did not give him a chance, and his father really went to Tao Ji to line up.

Gu Yunqiu happily tore open the twine tied on the paper package, and a whole osmanthus cake cut into four small pieces was wrapped in a piece of oiled paper, and the powder skin on the top of the cake was light yellow and crystalline, and it was sprinkled with sesame seeds.

The fragrance of osmanthus fluttered Gu Yunqiu's arms at the moment when the oil paper spread, like breaking into a golden osmanthus forest late at night in golden autumn, sparse shadows under the moon, dark fragrance floating, and every breeze brought just the right amount of sweetness.

Gu Yunqiu got up with the osmanthus cake in his hand, pulled a soft pillow and sat on the side of the bed.

While eating, he looked out the window at the blue sky and white clouds and thought about his rebirth-

Xu is God felt that he had died a confused and unjust death in his previous life, so he gave him a chance to do it all over again.

But, how is this going to ...... Do it all over again?

Gu Yunqiu held his cheek with one hand and stared at himself in a daze in the bronze mirror not far away.

——Start first and send someone to Shuzhong to be the only midwife who knows? Or take advantage of the current □□ to kill the eight-year-old true son Li Congzhou and replace him directly?

Just thinking about it like this, Gu Yunqiu frowned, closed his eyes and shook his head.

He couldn't do this thing, especially after seeing such a bloody and terrifying scene in his previous life.

Mama is not wrong, Li Congzhou is even more innocent.

What's more, King Ning and the princess treated him so well...... How could he bear to continue to impersonate under the premise of knowing, and he still wanted to occupy the magpie's nest again.

Moreover, Gu Yunqiu pouted: This thing of flesh and blood is really not adulterated at all.

Li Congzhou, the son of the real world, has indeed been different from him since he was a child-

People are proficient in ritual music and archery royal numbers, five virtues and four cultivation to understand Sanskrit, calligraphy and painting at a young age, when he was more than ten years old, people in Beijing begged him for a pair of words to ask for ten taels of silver.

He knows yin and yang, understands gossip, and observes all of them, such as Qimen Dunjia, astronomy and geography.

When it comes to martial arts, he has always had few opponents in Beijing.

The prince took him as a confidant, and the scholar was incompatible, and when Gu Yunqiu was still squatting on the ground fighting crickets, he could pick several foreign masters in a row and overturn the barbarian war elephant to the ground with skill.

Not to mention that he went to the northwest in the future, unyielding in a hundred battles, only led 500 cavalry to attack the Xirong military camp, and finally directly destroyed Xirong, who had harassed the border of the Jin Dynasty for decades.

……

Gu Yunqiu chewed the osmanthus cake in his mouth dryly:

The true son of the world who stands out like this is indeed not something that the son of a folk woman of unknown origin can kill casually.

If you don't do it well, you may be exposed in advance.

If you don't have to be seen as a joke, you may end up worse than in your previous life.

Moreover, Gu Yunqiu really couldn't figure it out:

- Why did Li Congzhou suddenly kill so many people indiscriminately.

Obviously, he has led his troops to kill the Jin Dynasty's henchman Xirong, and was recognized by King Ning to return to King Ning's mansion, obviously he has a great future as an upstart in the dynasty and is in power, but he suddenly wants to go crazy.

Even if he is crazy, he still goes crazy at the celebration of his own recognition of his ancestors.

The more Gu Yunqiu thought about it, the more he felt pain in the back of his neck.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and shook his head:

That's it.

He is a fake son, and he still cares less about the real son.

- If you don't get it right, your head will fall off again.

He finally relived his life, but he still spent more time on himself:

Since he can't be a true son, maybe he can use the next twelve years in this life to learn to be a good gentleman, and stop being a gentleman and adding obstacles to the prince and princess.

After thinking about it so much and tossing for a while, Gu Yunqiu felt a little tired again, and he didn't know if it was because he had just been reborn and his physical strength was weak, or because he ate four pieces of osmanthus cake and ate it alone......

In short, he was a little sleepy, lying on the table with his eyes open and closed, and in a hazy consciousness, he remembered one more important thing: yes, and the handyman.

The handyman who protected him with his life in his previous life.

I don't know, he is in the house now......

○○○

Gu Yunqiu was lying on the desk in a daze, and in a hazy consciousness, he heard a human voice again, his eyes opened a line, and he saw a man and a woman walking in one after another.

"Are you really going to leave again just after you come back?" It was the voice of the princess.

"Yes...... the man's voice was clear, but he was helpless, "Your Majesty is in a hurry to repair the Shangyuan Palace." ”

The voice......

Gu Yunqiu tried hard to hold his eyelids, his eyes were still foggy, and he vaguely saw the man coming over and chuckling, and then he was hugged all over.

The head rested on the man's shoulder, obviously leaning on the soft silk in his ear, but the tip of his nose smelled a strange smell of smoky peach blossoms.

- It's King Ning.

There is a barbecue shop next to the Tao Kee pastry shop, and everyone who goes to the queue will have this smell on their bodies.

King Ning carried Gu Yunqiu to the bed, and the princess followed, "Let Qiuqiu lie on her side, well, yes, add another cushion, don't press the fart." ”

King Ning acted as he said, and after putting down the curtain, he asked his wife in a low voice, "...... What about swelling? ”

"Isn't it? It's green, red and swollen, how can there be such a ruthless father as you? ”

King Ning looked remorseful, drooped his head for a while, and then pulled his daughter-in-law's sleeve, "I'm also angry......

The princess glanced at him.

"I bought cakes for Qiuqiu...... "King Ning's voice became smaller and smaller.

"Oh," the princess snorted softly, "isn't it natural for a father to buy good food for his son?" ”

King Ning scratched his head and didn't dare to fight with his wife.

The princess glanced at him, took the cloak and tied it for him, "The Spring Festival Gala is cold, and the horses run slower at night." ”

King Ning patted his wife's hand and smoothed her sideburns with a smile, "Let's go, you don't have to wait for me for dinner." ”

The princess nodded, stepped back and stepped out of the way, watching him disappear into the golden glow of the setting sun.

……

Not long after King Ning left, Gu Yunqiu woke up, and after dinner, he recruited a few small servants around him, the first one was named Brother Shun, the son of the second gate manager of the palace.

Brother Shun has convenient access to the palace on weekdays, and Gu Yunqiu took a fancy to this in his previous life, so he left him by his side to serve closely, and he was counted as a first-class servant of Ning Xintang.

"I want to ...... Find someone, Brother Shun, are you familiar with the miscellaneous servants in the palace? ”

"Who does Childe want to find, what is his surname, and what does he look like?" Brother Shun stepped forward with a smile, "I don't know if I don't say anything, but I can inquire." ”

Gu Yunqiu thought about it, he only remembered that the handyman was lame and stammering, he was one or two years older than him, and his accent sounded like he was from the northwest, and he didn't know anything else.

As for physiognomy......

At that time, he was in a panic all day long, and he didn't pay attention to the appearance of the handyman at all, and what he remembered later was only what he looked like more than ten years later.

"Just," Gu Yunqiu scratched his head, "Is there a ...... in our house?" Lame stammering? ”

"Still stammering...... lame?" Brother Shun shook his head and denied: "No, the government is carefully selected by the staff, even if it is a miscellaneous servant, it is not allowed to lack arms and legs." ”

"...... like this"

Seeing that he was depressed, Brother Shun added: "Maybe in Waizhuang?" Xu is recruited by the steward of the grange, and he will ask you if he is younger. ”

Only then did Gu Yunqiu remember that he had forgotten to tell Brother Shun that the miscellaneous servants might only be in their teens this year, and it was impossible for him to be put on the grange.

That Zhuangzi was fifty miles in the suburbs of Beijing, and every day he had to carry water to cultivate fields, chop firewood and herd cattle, and he did dirty work, not to mention the tiring work, and he was not allowed to come and go at will.

Gu Yunqiu hesitated for a moment and chose to put the matter on hold for the time being-

Brother Shun is right, the servants of the palace are very selective, and they don't need to be sick or disabled.

It may be okay to stutter when he speaks, but if the palace handyman can stay in Ning Xintang, his legs ......

Gu Yunqiu's face was slightly gloomy: Most of them were lame in the mansion.

King Ning and his wife did not have the habit of treating their subordinates harshly, but the servants of the palace were divided into three, six, nine and so on, and they would fight and calculate each other in private, and they had also injured people for the sake of small profits.

"That's it," Gu Yunqiu shook his head, "Maybe I'm mistaken." ”

A few little guys looked at each other, and they didn't know what the little master was going to do when they came in.

In the end, Brother Shun spoke first, "That son, let's go down first?" ”

Gu Yunqiu was a little disappointed in his heart when he couldn't find the handyman at the first time, but he ordered: "I have to get up early at three o'clock tomorrow, and you remember to call me." ”

Three moments?!

The little guys widened their eyes when they heard this, and Brother Shun couldn't hold back even more.

"I want to study hard," Gu Yunqiu added, "remember that you must wake me up no matter what!" ”

After saying this, Gu Yunqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and went to bed with peace of mind after washing.

……

The next day, it was not yet dawn.

Gu Yunqiu was stuck in the soft quilt, and Brother Shun called him three times, but he didn't think much of it.

He was really annoyed by the scream, and he pulled up the quilt to cover his head and tried to turn over, but as soon as he moved, he twisted his neck, making the back of his neck and a large part of his right shoulder dull pain.

Gu Yunqiu hissed, but he didn't want to open his eyes yet.

As a result, in the next moment, a pair of cold eyes appeared in his hazy consciousness.

“！！！”

Gu Yunqiu woke up in a flash.

Without waiting for Brother Shun to shout again, he neatly turned over and fell to the ground, kicked on his shoes and threw himself towards the bookcase-

He wants to read, he wants to write.

He wants to change his mind, he wants to be a good person!

In the early morning of spring, the mist was dark, Gu Yunqiu hurriedly grabbed the pen, spread out the paper and wrote.

He is twenty years old, why is it difficult to write a hundred big words?

As a result, after picking a pen on the pen holder, Gu Yunqiu found that other people's small hands were weak, and they couldn't write well on the paper at all:

Either the pen is crooked and the pen is too heavy, or the rice paper is pierced.

"Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate" is the beginning of "Thousand Character Text".

The word heaven and earth in his head directly asked him to write:

A big dirt also.

"......" Gu Yunqiu looked at the already bright sky outside and gritted his teeth:

Forget it, go and practice martial arts-

After breakfast, Gu Yunqiu rested for a while, then changed into light clothes and went to the courtyard to shoot arrows.

His bow was specially made, and the strings were not made of raw cow tendons and horsehair, but were replaced with softer ramie silk, which was to put it bluntly, a child's bow, made by the adults of the family for children to play with.

Gu Yunqiu took the arrow seriously, and silently recited the key to archery in his heart, "five flats and three reliance":

The hands and feet, elbows and shoulders are flat, the ears are listening to the strings, the arrows are by the mouth, and the strings are against the chest.

The posture looked very much like that, but the feather arrow flew out with a buzz, and before it hit the target, it heard a roar from a distance—

Gu Yunqiu was taken aback, and several other little guys hurriedly stepped forward, and after a while, they actually pulled out a Shun brother from the bushes behind the grass target.

And Brother Shun's fart, coincidentally, was pierced with a feather arrow.

"......" Gu Yunqiu was stupid.
