The banquet was just a few pleasantries. Jun Li, www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, looked for an opportunity, and quietly asked Gu Xiaomeng about the stabbing thing.

"I know you're curious. Gu Xiaomeng said with a smile. "Thorn is naturally not my own daughter. ”

"That's adopted?"

"Also...... Can't say that. Gu Xiaomeng reached out and swept her hair. She ...... It's your brother-in-law's earlier child with someone else. ”

Jun Li didn't expect this answer, ah, I remember that my sister was only fifteen or sixteen at that time, and I don't know how many people came to ask for marriage, why did she finally marry someone as a stepmother?

Gu Xiaomeng's eyes followed the thorn not far away, and said slowly: "But you don't have to hug me, this child is likable, even if it is not my own, I am willing to take her." ”

Jun Li followed her gaze and looked at the thorn. The stinger was indeed likable, and the people around him, though not as stunned as he had seen her for the first time, seemed to be willing to say a few words to her. When she doesn't speak, she stands, and she is also quiet, but the silence is not dead, as if it is also a kind of breath that can be seen and touched, which is completely different from the deliberateness of the quiet and reserved girls next to her.

"How, Junli. Gu Xiaomeng seemed to see his gaze. "You like stabbing too, don't you?"

"Ah, I ......"

"Actually, stabbing this kid is what your brother-in-law and I have the least to worry about. Gu Xiaomeng continued. "Because she can take care of her everywhere, and there are people to help take care of her wherever she goes. Speaking of which, her brother has to bother. ”

"Thorn and brother?" Jun Li was taken aback again, thinking that since he was his brother, it seemed that he was also born to his brother-in-law and someone else.

"Well, she has two older brothers. Gu Xiaomeng said. "But there's only one in our house, and the other -- you see. ”

Gu Xiaomeng said, and tapped his chin at Cheng Ping, who was on the side of the thorn - "The other is Ping'er, who is one year older than the thorn." ”

"What...... What the?...... Cheng Zuo's son-in-law is ...... "Jun Li suspects that he will be wrong."

Gu Xiaomeng burst into a smile, "You probably can't figure out these mundane things, right?" Ping'er is the half-brother of the assassination, and the parents are gone, so Cheng Zuo let them adopt them. I think it was, about 12 years ago, when his mother died, and he sent his three children to your brother-in-law in a suicide note. Thorn and another brother were twins unintentionally, they were all your brother-in-law's own flesh and blood, so they were kept, but Ping'er was inconvenient to keep, and finally gave them to Cheng Zuo. ”

Jun Li finally understood that the mother who wanted to stab him had never married, but had given birth to twin siblings to his brother-in-law, and that Ping'er's father was someone else. Among them, love and hatred are naturally not easy to guess, but her sister looks so ordinary when she talks about these things, as if she doesn't care that her husband has had illegitimate children with others.

He knew that his sister had always been kind, and he thought that she must have accepted it when she saw that the child was pitiful and cared for her husband's affection. Looking at her appearance with the thorn, it is also intimate. Thinking about it, he said in a low voice: "Since it was twelve years ago, then they are not small, they should all know their backgrounds?"

"That's nature. I can't change the thorn since I was a child, and I have always called Ping'er 'big brother' and unintentional 'second brother'. But unintentionally, it's the eldest son of our family, and I'm always worried that others will hear that the boss is called 'second brother'. ”

"Cheng Gongzi is her own brother, no wonder they have always been so close. Jun Li looked a little like he was talking to himself.

Gu Xiaomeng laughed. "Yes, they are all in Qinglong Valley, and Ping'er likes to look for thorns together. Many girls were fascinated by him, and we stabbed him to kill him. He raised his voice and shouted, "Thorn, come here!"

Thorn sniffed the sound and walked over.

"Enough wild, why don't you come back and sit for a while?" Gu Xiaomeng glared at her.

The thorn was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to do.

Gu Xiaomeng stood up, knocked lightly on her head, and said, "Don't pretend to be stupid." You sit here with your uncle for a while, and I'm going to help your grandfather greet guests. ”

The thorn answered, and when Gu Xiaomeng was gone, he sat down obediently and called again: "Uncle!"

Jun Li was a little embarrassed, and said, "What is your uncle, just call me Jun Li." ”

"How can that be. The thorn tilted his head and laughed. "I didn't know before. ”

Looking at her so closely and smiling, I saw that her eyes seemed to be bent into crescent moons. The joy in that smile is real joy, and even the slightest vulgar hypocrisy cannot be seen.

Such a girl must have grown up under the best protection, right? Jun Li thought to herself, my sister said that someone would take care of her wherever she was left - no wonder, when I saw her like this, I would unconsciously give birth to a heart of care, and I couldn't bear to say even an inappropriate word.

I only heard the stab and said, "Uncle is coming back this time, how long are you going to stay?"

"Is this...... It's going to take some time. Jun Li replied ambiguously.

"Then why don't you even put that down?" the thorn pointed at his back box.

Jun Li was stunned for a moment. I just went to the room, but I didn't think to put it down, thinking that in my subconscious, I really didn't regard this place as a home.

"I'm used to it. He explained.

"Or- you go and put things away. Thorn said. "I'll take you to get to know Brother Ping, and Cousin Rufei. ”

"You really can't sit still. Jun Li smiled.

What he cared about in his heart was the stabbing and said, "Brother Ping". Gu Xiaomeng just said that the stab can't be changed until now, and calls Cheng Ping a "big brother" - but now I hear her obviously not say that. Could it be that her sister is too worried, in fact, in front of outsiders, this girl can be very clear.

I saw the thorn pouting deliberately, and said, "I can't sit still, it's not that I see that you are unhappy and want to find someone to talk to you." ”

"I'm not happy, can you see it?" Jun Li teased her.

"Of course! Grandpa was so happy to see you just now, but you just had a bitter face. There is an unhappy person within a radius of three zhang, and I am in a bad mood. ”

Jun Li couldn't argue. Obviously, he kept smiling in front of Gu Shizhong and the others, but he must have inadvertently still revealed some trouble, and he was stabbed in his eyes. Remembering that she had asked herself how long she was going to stay, she probably meant more than just words.

"I'm back, but only temporarily" -- he really had nothing to worry about without this incident. Gu Shizhong, Gu Xiaomeng, and Teng Ying should all know this fact, and even the stabbing seems to be aware. It's just that, except for her, no one mentioned it, only a tacit understanding of an infinite postponement.

"Actually...... Don't worry about me. Jun Li scratched his head, and couldn't think of anything else to say, so he could only choose to follow her kindness.

When the things were put away, the thorn was already waiting with Cheng Ping at the entrance of the hall.

"Uncle, this is Brother Ping. Thorn greeted him. "I just told him about you. ”

Cheng Ping had already saluted and said, "I've seen the Taoist." ”

Jun Li saw that this young man's face was as beautiful as jade, and his eyes were also firm and gentle, and he was about to return the salute, but suddenly caught a glimpse of his fist-clasped hand - his left hand, which seemed to be missing something. Out of politeness, he didn't look closely, and his eyes flashed away.

Cheng Ping naturally noticed it immediately. His left hand has been seen since he was a child, and he is not hiding it at the moment, so he simply straightened his palm and said, "The Taoist chief smiled." ”

Jun Li saw it accurately this time. People say that the perfect Cheng family is a handsome son, and there is no little finger on his left hand.

"This ...... It was my rudeness. Jun Li hurriedly apologized.

Cheng Ping didn't seem to care, so he led the way to a seat. "I'm glad to meet the Taoist, I'll give you a glass first. ”

"But I ......"

"Uncle doesn't drink. Thorn said.

Cheng Ping was stunned, "yes, I forgot." - It doesn't matter, I respect my elders and take care of myself. As he spoke, he poured himself the wine and drank it all.

"How many cups are you having today?" the thorn asked him quietly.

Cheng Ping smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's only the first cup." I'll keep it until I meet your dad when I get back, and I have no intention of drinking it again. ”

Jun Li drank tea in return, and looked at Cheng Ping's complexion, only to see that between his clear eyebrows and eyes, there was a faint hint of depression that was not so obvious, suppressing another feeling that should have been more lofty. If you look closely, his face is slightly red, I don't know if it's because of the heat or other reasons.

He doesn't look so well. Jun Li said in his heart. The breath between the eyebrows seems to be cold, but the complexion is faintly damp, and I don't know if there is a problem in the heart. The stabbing nervous about his drinking, most likely because of this.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Thorn remembered: "I also said that I wanted to take my uncle to meet my cousin." Then he turned back to look for Gu Rufei, but saw that he was not where he was standing.

"My cousin is gone. Thorn muttered. "Did you see that?"

As he was talking, he saw Gu Rufei just turn out of the side corridor. Thorn beckoned and shouted, "Cousin Rufei, come here!"

Gu Rufei just didn't hear it, and went to the crowd. Jun Li was about to catch up with her when he saw the thorn, and pulled her lightly and said, "Forget the thorn, there will be a chance later, now I think he and his father-in-law are busy." ”

Thorn turned around and said, "All right, then let's go around ourselves." ”

She probably didn't realize that Jun Li had lived here for more than half a year, and only told him all the places of the Gu family Zhuangzi one by one when he came for the first time. Cheng Ping seems to be familiar with this place, it turns out that the Cheng family and the Gu family were originally neighbors, but later because he joined the Qinglong Sect, Cheng Fangyu left the old man and moved to the Qinglong Valley. What surprised Jun Li the most was that Gu Shizhong turned out to be a member of the Qinglong Sect, but for some reason, he was expelled by the Qinglong Sect Master, and he was ordered that the whole family should not set foot in the Qinglong Valley again.

My sister still got married. Jun Li said in his heart. I don't know who she married, and who is in the Blue Dragon Sect?
