My mother's guess is a bit out of thin air.

Gu Jinzhi didn't want to say it directly, so he said, "Mom, you didn't ask Brother Xuan either, how did you know he was annoyed by this? What if there was something else? Or I'll ask for you again?"

But my mother has many reasons.

She told Gu Jinzhi one by one: "...You went to Luzhou, Brother Xiu was in Songshan Academy, Brother Xuan had no friends in Beijing. When he met Li Huai, he was only ten years old. I

I didn't think of restraining him too much. Li Huai was the most clever and played in different ways. The Li family was not like ours and insisted on children working hard. The Li family had a future without causing trouble.

Brother Xuan envied Li Huai, and listened to Li Huai's words and compared everything to him.

Since Li Huai took a concubine last year, he has been unhappy.

Yesterday, he knew that you and the prince should be with him at home, but he went to the Li family to attend the banquet. The person next to him dared not say that he still had your sister in his eyes. He regarded the banquet of the Li family as more than you.

It's still heavy, wouldn't you want to support your face outside?

Friends outside all marry and take concubines. Our family is strictly controlled. He doesn't even have a room, so people will definitely be joking. Brother Xuan is like your father, with a thin face and cannot stand others' jokes. I thought,

His marriage is not too late, and it is necessary to settle it as soon as possible..."

Gu Jinzhi listened to his mother's analysis, and was well-founded, and knew that his mother believed it.

Although Gu Jinzhi felt that these things might be their mother's conjectures, they were not enough to explain Brother Xuan'er's problem.

Instead, Gu Jinzhi knew better why Brother Xuan ran out yesterday.

She did not point it out or refute her mother. She just said, "The mother is the one who decides the family affairs. You can do it. But I have to work hard again..."

"What's the hard work of marrying a wife?" Song Pan'er smiled.

She is very happy.

Gu Jinzhi didn't say anything anymore.

A guest came to visit my family in the morning.

My mother also has many relatives and friends who have not gone to the house.

Gu Jinzhi said, "You go and do your business. I also wanted to go and see Jiang Xin in the morning. If it was still early, I would also like to wish my eldest and second aunt a New Year..."

My mother has met many people in Beijing over the years.

The friendship is different, but every family has a banquet during the New Year, so it is time to go to pay New Year's greetings. Forget it on weekdays, it is impossible to reject the New Year.

"...I'll come back early in the afternoon, you all have meals here." My mother thought for a while, and told Gu Jinzhi a few words, but finally went out.

Gu Jinzhi said it was OK and personally sent his mother to the gate of Chuhua.

As soon as my mother left, Gu Jinzhi did not turn her body and went to the outer courtyard.

She found Brother Xuan in the small study in Brother Xuan'er's yard.

The maids came out and whispered: "Young Master Jiu is in the study..."

Gu Jinzhi waved his hand and told the maids not to follow him. She walked in quietly and Brother Xuan was writing.

Brother Xuan sat upright, writing elegantly, and writing in a sleek manner. His side face was light and very handsome. He grew from the young master of the past to the handsome young man now, as if in a moment.

When Brother Xuan was not interested in studying, he used calligraphy to spend his time. This was Gu Jinzhi's habit back then.

Gu Jinzhi let go slightly and regained his pace.

Brother Xuan didn't look back and said, "Don't change tea, go out." He just thought it was the maid who served.

The maids had to refill him every quarter of an hour.

Gu Jinzhi laughed out loud.

Brother Xuan heard that the laughter was wrong, so he turned his head to see it. Seeing that it was Gu Jinzhi. A word in his hand was broken. He quickly put down his pen and came forward and said, "Sister Qi, why are you here?"

"You hide from your sister, but you're thinking of your brother." Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "I can't see enough if I haven't seen you for many years. You ran away after using breakfast, and it's clear that you don't want to talk to me anymore.

I had to come with me..."

Brother Xuan hurriedly defended: "Sister Qi, this is wronged me. I just thought that the husband will come back after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I haven't finished my homework, so I'm not hiding from Sister Qi."

"...I'm in Beijing, I'm afraid I can't wait for the Lantern Festival." Gu Jinzhi interrupted him, "Don't you want to say a few more words to me? I don't know when I will go back to Beijing next time

And maybe another seven years..."

Brother Xuan felt ache in his heart and his eyes were filled with guilt. He missed Sister Qi very much. If he hadn't said the wrong thing yesterday and ran away embarrassedly, he wouldn't have made his sister feel neglected.

Brother Xuan was very sorry.

He fell silent and didn't know how to apologize.

The maids brought in tea and interrupted the silence in the room.

Gu Jinzhi smiled and took the tea and asked the maids' names.

Brother Xuan quickly introduced her one by one.

That embarrassment was resolved invisibly.

Then, the siblings sat on the Taishi chair in the study and drank tea.

Gu Jinzhi smelled the light fragrance of Longjing and placed the teacup on his lips and dipped it. Before he could drink half a drop of water, he put the teacup down again.

She didn't drink tea, she just acted.

Brother Xuan didn't notice her little moves and just drank tea.

Even if he noticed it, he probably didn't know the reason.

Gu Jinzhi accidentally put his hand on his lower abdomen, then picked up the teacup again, making a move, dipping the edge of the teacup on his lips.

"You ran away before you finished speaking yesterday afternoon." Gu Jinzhi put down the teacup and asked Brother Xuan with a smile, "Which girl do you like? Tell Sister Qi, Sister Qi will tell you for your mother."

Brother Xuan is most disgusted with communicating with his parents now.

Gu Jinzhi remembered that when Rongnan was so old, he was very silent and didn't say anything he asked. The two of them had a two- or three-year gap. At that time, the boy began to pretend to be a girl in his heart, and his behavior became abnormal.

stand up.

Everyone's performance is different.

Brother Xuan’er’s performance is very similar to Rongnan back then, and Gu Jinzhi knows his mood.

This is not cowardly or taciturn, it is just a stage of growth.

Not every boy has this stage.

It happened that there is Rongnan and Brother Xuan also has it.

"I don't want to make my mother angry..." Brother Xuan heard Gu Jinzhi's words and paused with his hands holding the teacup. After a while, he muttered, "Let's talk about it later."

My mother has been upset about Brother Xiu'er.

Brother Xiu'er's performance in the spring exam has not been determined, and her mother is in a bad mood, so Brother Xuan doesn't dare to say anything.

"After a while, it will be too late." Gu Jinzhi smiled, "Mom told me that after the first month, I will invite someone to go to the Zou family to protect the media."

Brother Xuan was shocked.

He stared at Gu Jinzhi blankly: "Why...why is it so fast?"

He had previously visited his mother's words. His mother wanted to get married to him when his starlings had a result in the spring exam.

Gu Jinzhi learned what his mother told her just now, word by word to Brother Xuan: "...Mom mistakenly thought you missed your wife, so she behaved abnormally. Both parents love you very much, for you

Fucked. They guessed that you wanted a wife, so they would have to arrange your business immediately. Should you tell your mother about your own affairs? Or do you want me to tell you for help?"

Brother Xuan was stunned.

He was confused by Gu Jinzhi's words.

But thinking about it, my mother has always been impatient and decisive.

Maybe my mother went out today and begged someone to be a matchmaker for herself.

Brother Xuan rationalized his panic and looked at Sister Qi sitting in front of him. He thought he had no way out, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Qi...you...you talk to me for help.

.....”

"Okay, I'll talk." Gu Jin said, "But you can't lie to me. If your statement is inconsistent with the truth, my mother will think that we will unite to lie to her in the future and will feel disheartened to me, and I will not be able to do so.

Tell me your affairs in full."

Brother Xuan nodded.

He touched his nose awkwardly and said with difficulty: "Sister Qi, he is the cousin of the third sister-in-law..."

Gu Jinzhi had the worst plan inexplicably.

When Brother Xuan talked about his third sister-in-law's cousin, Gu Jinzhi quickly passed on the affairs of his third sister-in-law's family in his heart.

She asked Brother Xuan: "What kind of cousin, aunt, aunt or uncle?"

The third sister-in-law Xia is the granddaughter of Xia Shoufu.

Sanju had an aunt who married into the Tan family.

Except for the Tan family, Gu Jinzhi can accept it.

She was afraid that Brother Xuan would say that he was the cousin of his third sister-in-law, and that cousin happened to be from the Tan family again.

Gu Jinzhi looked at Brother Xuan with an urgent look.

Brother Xuan was embarrassed by her and his voice was like a mosquito: "My cousin from my third sister-in-law's aunt."

Gu Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

The third sister-in-law did not marry into the Tan family without her aunt.

This is enough.

Her smile also encouraged Brother Xuan.

Brother Xuan gradually gained some confidence in his voice: "...I had seen her before my uncle moved. That was the third sister-in-law's second-year-old full moon gift, and she and her mother came. She had heard of you

I specifically asked me about it, Sister Qi, are you a miracle doctor? She said a lot to me, and I promised to give her some medicine books. Later, I grew up and I didn’t meet her every year. After two or three years, I can

I saw it once on my third brother’s side.”

Gu Jinzhi smiled.

My uncle moved in the tenth year of Shuntian.

At that time, Brother Xuan was only eleven or twelve years old, and his third sister-in-law's cousin was probably not ten years old.

The children are young and don’t know how to avoid the trouble when their families are busy.

Gu Jinzhi's third sister-in-law Xia gave birth to another baby boy in the tenth year of Shuntian.

Brother Xuan went into the inner house to see the child, and then met his favorite person.

"Have you given her a medicine book?" Gu Jinzhi asked.

"Give it." Xuan Ge'er said, "When she asked, my mother was also present. After returning home, my mother said that a man would be trusted. My grandfather's study had several medicine books, and my mother asked me to choose two.

She asked someone to send it to her house.”

Gu Jinzhi laughed again.

Medicine books are very precious.

"Sister-in-law's aunt?" Gu Jinzhi thought about it, but still had no impression, "Which family is it?"

"Their surname is Cai, and his grandfather is also a general of Fengguo, the third generation of hereditary generation. By the generation of her father, there was nothing left." Brother Xuan said. After saying that, he seemed to be afraid that Gu Jinzhi would dislike him.

He also said, "As far as to go, their family is also prestigious."

Gu Jinzhi smiled.

Most families in Beijing have more reputation than the Gu family.

In the eyes of the old nobles, the Gu family is an explosive household.

"What's her name?" Gu Jinzhi asked again.

"I'm called Cai Lian, my nickname is Su Jie'er." said Brother Xuan.
