The first male queen [crossing]

With Xiao Yuan's arrangement, Lu Qingxuan and Mrs. Zheng stayed in this remote courtyard, while Gu Junci and Zheng Yuzhi followed Xiao Yuan to Liang Guogong's mansion.

Late autumn transitions to early winter, and the night comes very early, with a chilly evening wind blowing towards our faces.

In the main hall of the Duke’s Mansion, Liang Guogong Xiao Boxu and Xiao Yan, who learned that Xiao Yuan and the others had come back, were discussing something at the moment. Knowing that the housekeeper came to report that the second son and Zheng Zhixian were here, the father and son separated and whispered, watching Xiao Yuan He and Zheng Yuzhi came from the courtyard.

And behind Xiao Yuan, besides Zheng Yuzhi, there was another person.

Xiao Yan was a little surprised, and after looking at Xiao Boxu, he immediately hid his emotions, watched Xiao Yuan and his group walk up to the main hall, and saluted Xiao Boxu and Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yuan said: "Father, the trip to Songzhu County this time was as agreed, and there were no mistakes, and even brought En Gong back."

Seeing Gu Junci, Xiao Boxu hurriedly got up and bowed slightly to Gu Junci: "I never thought that I could meet my benefactor in Lanling, it is really fate."

Xiao Yan said from the side: "Luoyang has issued a hunting call. Young master Gu, as the Thirteenth Taibao, has colluded with Fan Yang's rebellion and even helped Lu's rebels escape from Luoyang City. Now he dares to appear in Lanling and throw himself into the trap." ah."

Gu Junci raised his eyes to meet Xiao Yan's contemptuous smile, it wasn't until Xiao Boxu coughed lightly that Xiao Yan restrained his smile and bowed to Gu Junci.

Gu Junci ignored Xiao Yan, and just bowed respectfully to Xiao Boxu: "I'm bothering the Duke, I know who I am at the moment, I didn't want to cause trouble to the Duke, but after thinking about it, Your Excellency is the Lord of Lanling, how can you not pay a courtesy call when you come here this time, please Haihan."

Xiao Boxu supported his wrist and said: "Where is your benefactor, how can it be a nuisance? This old man knows that Mr. Gu has justice in his heart, and it is reasonable to choose to rescue Mr. Lu. He is a bloody man with love and righteousness. Now that he has arrived I, Lanling, will stay at the mansion, and let the old man treat me well, in order to thank my benefactor for saving my life back then."

Gu Junci hurriedly shied away, but he didn't want Xiao Yuan to say:

"Engong, let's stay here. A thousand thanks is better than taking good care of him. Is there any better place for you besides Lanling?"

Gu Junci looked at Xiao Boxu and Xiao Yuan's appearance, and did not delay any longer, and immediately agreed.

Afterwards, Xiao Boxu set up a banquet in the flower hall, Mrs. Xiao and other people in the house also came out to meet Gu Junci who fought side by side with Xiao Yuan and rescued Xiao Boxu on Zhishugang.

In addition to Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, there are two young masters in this house, because of their young age, Langya didn't go to attend school.

One is Xiao Jue, the third son born to the concubine's wife, who is about the same age as Xiao Shunhua, and the other is Xiao Yu, the fourth son born to the same mother as Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, who is only twelve or thirteen years old at the moment. He tilted his head innocently and looked at Gu Junci.

When they were seated at the table, Xiao Yuan sat beside Gu Junci, and the fourth son, Xiao Yu, also sat on the other side of Gu Junci, and kept looking at Gu Junci and laughing.

"Ayu, don't be rude." Seeing Xiao Yu's appearance, Xiao Boxu hurriedly stopped his behavior.

But Xiao Yu politely suppressed her smile, looked at Xiao Yuan with a tight mouth, then looked at Gu Junci and said, "Father, this brother is so beautiful, as if he came out of a painting."

Xiao Boxu's expression was slightly stern, Xiao Yu immediately lowered his head and stopped looking at Gu Junci while holding the chopsticks, but only looked at Xiao Yuan furtively, and said in a low voice:

"Second brother, second brother, this brother really seems to have stepped out of a painting."

Gu Junci was sitting between the two of them. Hearing Xiao Yu's voice, he couldn't help nodding. He really didn't know how to deal with this innocent child.

Xiao Yuan picked up food for him as if nothing had happened, and said seriously: "Grandfather, in the future, you can treat yourself as your own home in the mansion, don't be cautious, Ayu is still young, please bear with me."

Gu Junci nodded, looked at the food Xiao Yuan picked up, and quickly put it into his mouth.

However, Gu Junci always felt that there was a pair of eyes beside him, secretly staring at him all the time, without even thinking about it, he knew it was Xiao Yu,

Waiting for Gu Junci to look at him, he raised his smiling face and put some food on the plate for him: "Brother eats food, it's delicious."

Xiao Yuan said: "That's what you like to eat, benefactor may not like it."

Xiao Yu pouted and said, "Not necessarily, this dish is so delicious, Brother Engong will definitely like it."

"Ayu."

Xiao Boxu called again sternly, and Xiao Yu immediately sat upright, and then ate seriously.

Gu Junci was a bit hungry at first, and the dishes prepared by Xiao Boxu were also very exquisite, but because the two people sitting on the left and right made Gu Junci feel like sitting on pins and needles, they ate very carefully, and they were only half full.

After dinner, Xiao Boxu went to the study with Xiao Yuan and Zheng Yuzhi, as if they wanted to discuss something.And Gu Junci was left in the Duke's mansion, so he was naturally led by the steward to the courtyard where Xiao Yuan lived. However, when the steward introduced that this is the courtyard where the second son Xiao lived, Gu Junci had an expressionless expression on his face. Confuse:

"How can I live in the second son's courtyard, it will disturb him."

The housekeeper smiled and said, "This is arranged by the second son. He said that Gu Engong is his guest, so he naturally wants to live in the same place, so it is convenient to take care of him."

Gu Junci was a little surprised. Just as he was about to step into the courtyard, he heard Xiao Yu's voice. He ran over quickly and said to the housekeeper:

"Uncle housekeeper, go and have a rest, just leave it to me, I will greet the guests for the second brother."

The housekeeper couldn't help laughing, and immediately saluted them before leaving the courtyard where Xiao Yuan lived.

Xiao Yu hurriedly took Gu Junci's hand and stepped through the courtyard gate. The courtyard was lit with lights, making this quiet courtyard feel like being in a picture scroll, especially there was a pond in the courtyard. Under the candlelight, the water in the pond was blown by the wind. It blows sparkling waves, which is really wonderful.

Xiao Yu dragged Gu Junci to walk in the corridor near the pond, probably because of the beautiful scenery, so Gu Junci did not object.

Xiao Yu introduced with a smile: "In the yard of our house, only the yard where the second brother lives has a pond, and all the plants and trees in this yard are planted by the second brother himself, and also designed by the second brother himself. Bar."

Speaking of Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yu was very proud.

Gu Junci nodded: "Your second brother is indeed very capable."

Xiao Yu became more and more proud: "Actually, my father arranged for the pond in my second brother's yard. I heard from my mother that when she was pregnant with my second brother, she dreamed of a flying dragon in her arms, and later she gave birth to my second brother. Another fortune teller said that there must be water in the place where my second brother lives, in order to keep his life safe and smooth.”

Hearing Xiao Yu's proud tone, Gu Junci was very curious: "How can they tell you?"

Xiao Yu said: "When I was young, I refused to sleep and pestered my mother to tell me stories. She told me."

Gu Junci nodded in response, and then asked: "Fourth Young Master, why are you so affectionate to me? It seems that this is the first time I've seen you."

Xiao Yu thought for a while: "It's not the first time I've seen you. Didn't I tell you that you are the elder brother who walked out of the painting, and you are very beautiful."

Gu Junci nodded and smiled: "The fourth son just knows how to praise others, and even said that I walked out of a painting. You are so young, who taught you."

Xiao Yu took Gu Junci's hand and stopped in front of Xiao Yuan's main house, and then said seriously: "I mean it, I really saw you in the painting, in the second brother's study, only But then it disappeared."

Listening to Xiao Yu's paintings, Gu Junci felt a little curious in his heart.

Could it be that after Xiao Yuan came back from Hanyang Pass, he was afraid that he would forget what he looked like, so he specially drew his portrait, and Xiao Yu saw it?

Gu Junci nodded and smiled, and hurriedly said: "You may have misread it. I think it was someone else's portrait painted by your second brother. You misunderstood it."

Xiao Yu still wanted to defend himself, but he still couldn't remember where he had seen the painting, so he quickly changed the subject and dragged Gu Junci to the guest room that Xiao Yuan arranged for him. Xiao Yuan's bedroom was only separated by a wall, which really flattered Gu Junci.

The furnishings in the house range from tables, chairs and benches to small bonsai desks. Everything seems to be very suitable for Gu Junci, and I have an indescribable liking in my heart.

"Second brother also arranged this room himself, so it looks good." Xiao Yu proudly introduced.

Gu Junci nodded: "Your second brother is as careful as a hair, and you are indeed worthy of your pride."

"Why is Ayu here, why don't you go back to rest?"

Suddenly, Xiao Yuan's voice came from the door, causing the two people in the room to look back.

Xiao Yu hurriedly ran to his side, and said seriously: "Second Brother, I am introducing your yard to Brother Junci."

Gu Junci nodded again and again: "He also said that when Madam was pregnant with you, she dreamed of flying dragons in her arms, so you have a pond in your yard, and you are the only one."

Xiao Yuan coughed lightly, feeling a little uneasy on his face, and hurriedly coughed lightly: "Okay, Ayu, go back to sleep quickly, brother Junci is tired after driving for a few days, and he also needs to rest."

Xiao Yu looked at Gu Junci and smiled sweetly: "That's it, brother Junci should rest early, and I will come to play with you tomorrow."

Gu Junci nodded, watched Xiao Yu leave, saw Xiao Yuan walk into the house, and looked around:

"Do you still like it? You will live with me in the house in the future, so you can make changes if you think it is inappropriate."

Gu Junci shook his head: "No, I like them all, I am very satisfied."

Only then did Xiao Yuan respond, and at this moment Gu Junci seemed to be thinking of the painting that Xiao Yu mentioned just now, so Gu Junci couldn't help but joked:

"Second Young Master Xiao, why did you draw my portrait, and your younger brother saw it and said, are you plotting against me?"

Xiao Yuan raised his head to meet Gu Junci's eyes in surprise, but the surprise was fleeting. He turned his head immediately, took the teapot on the table and poured hot tea, trying to change the topic:

"Don't you want to know what we discussed with Zheng Yuzhi?"

Gu Junci shook his head: "I don't want to. Compared with what you discussed, I want to know why you have my portrait. Your brother saw it, and then you hid it again. It doesn't make sense."

Xiao Yuan put down the teacup in his hand and got up and said, "Brother Gu, rest well, I will call you again tomorrow morning."

"Hey, hey, second son, don't go so fast." Gu Junci hurriedly followed Xiao Yuan's footsteps, but saw the wind under Xiao Yuan's feet, and hurried back to his room and closed the door.

Gu Junci looked at the door that was closed at that moment, couldn't help laughing, and murmured: "It's so interesting when the Second Young Master Xiao is running away."
