"Ayan?"

Seeing his younger brother suddenly, Chu Heng was also a little surprised.After he broke up with Zhong Pinghou on New Year's Eve, he never returned to the Hou's mansion. He and Ling Ye lived in Zhenbo Bieyuan for the past few days, and sent some things to Lishanluyuan to Chu Xinchu. Yan, but never saw them again.

I heard that Mu Xiyun picked up the two siblings to live in Luyuan early yesterday morning, and Chu Heng planned to let Ling Ye go back to the other garden later, so he could go and have a look by himself.

Chu Heng took a quick glance at Ling Ye, quickly let go of his wrist, cleared his throat and coughed, stepped forward half a step, looked at Chu Yan, and said with a smile, "Why did you come to Wangshiju? Ah Xin is also there inside?"

Chu Yan glanced past Ling Ye, looked at him calmly, then turned his face to answer Chu Heng's question, shook his head and said: "Sister and Mrs. Mu went to the clothes and jewelry store, I am alone Lu Yuan is free, so I just came here with Uncle Qi to have a look."

Chu Heng nodded, and said casually, "You saw Ye Shuli in Luyuan, right? Why aren't you with him?"

Chu Yan said: "Senior Brother Ye went to play polo with Young Master Yong'an Hou and Second Master Su this morning at Zhuangzi outside the city, and called me to join them, but I didn't like these things so much, so I didn't go with them."

"Yeah." The smile on Chu Heng's face faded by two points, he didn't ask any more questions, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "Let's go in, what are you doing at the door."

With a smile on Chu Yan's face, he happily grabbed Chu Heng's sleeve, turned his head to look at Ling Ye who was beside Chu Heng again, and asked, "Brother, who is this young master?"

"Ah..." Chu Heng's words flickered, and he looked sideways at Ling Ye, who seemed to be smiling but didn't answer, just waiting to see what he had to say.Chu Heng coughed, and had no choice but to turn around and say, "This is brother I met in the palace...well, friend, surname..."

Chu Yan has been in Zhongli's family all these years, and has never entered the palace, let alone meet Tianyan. It is not easy for Chu Heng to introduce him hastily now. He can't just say that this is His Majesty, that is not scary enough.

Chu Heng got stuck on the surname, Ling Ye suppressed a smile, glanced at him, and then said: "Your surname is Gu, and your brother and I work together in the Hall of Martial Heroes. Today is the Shunxing Festival, and His Majesty allows us to rest together." Mu, let's go out for a walk together."

The most famous "Gu" in Dayin Kyushu is naturally the emperor's mother family - the Gu family in the northern part of the Zhen Guogong Mansion. He saluted with both hands: "Brother Gu." Then he turned his head to look at Chu Heng, "I feel that my brother and Brother Gu have a very good relationship..."

Chu Heng unconsciously looked at Ling Ye when he heard the words, but smiled and said nothing.

Ling Ye was also noncommittal, and just said to Chu Yan: "If Su Lang is said to be polite, but Xiao Gaomin... Xiao Dashi doesn't even know how to pronounce these two words. Since he called you, that is Sincere invitation, just hang out with them. Han Chengmiao should be there too, right?"

Ling Ye glanced at Chu Heng, raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, and continued to say to Chu Yan: "He will be happy to walk with you, and you should get in touch with him a little bit more to see how this person is, it will be useful in the future of."

Chu Heng's expression froze and he did not refute.

"?" Chu Yan didn't quite understand the relationship between the son of the Han Dynasty and himself. He didn't understand the meaning of Ling Ye's last few words, but it didn't hinder others. He shook his head, slightly lowered his eyes and said in a little embarrassment: " I don't really like..."

Ling Ye interrupted him: "You are also a serious son of a family, you can always play polo. You are at the age when you like to play, so you don't need to say these words in the future. You come from Zhongli, and you will probably have to play polo often in the future. In the imperial capital, the circle of the Sixteenth Aristocratic family, sooner or later you have to get familiar with it and get involved. Xiao Gaomin invites you to play, your father will not have any objection."

Chu Yan's heart skipped a beat, he opened his mouth and made no sound.These few words of Ling Ye touched his heart. He knew that Zhong Pinghou would only be happy with this, but...

Ling Ye seemed to understand what he was worrying about, paused for a moment and then said calmly: "As for your aunt, don't worry too much about it in the future, it's hard to say anything else, but your father will take good care of her in this matter."

This time Chu Yan was really shocked. She raised her head and glanced at Ling Ye in a daze, then at Chu Heng. The latter didn't speak, as if acquiesced.

Chu Yan lowered his head, something happened at home in the past few days, what his aunt Ye said at the family banquet on New Year's Eve was heard in His Majesty's ears, and his father was left alone after the New Year's Day greetings.When he returned home, he said something to his aunt with a cold face, and later it was passed on to their sons and daughters, and they learned that the matter of his eldest son Chu Chen's entry into the court had been put on hold for the time being.

The atmosphere at home was dull, and they became more and more cautious in their daily activities, lest they make mistakes and offend their father and aunt.Even in Luyuan, he didn't dare to loosen his strings too much.This morning Ye Shuli asked him to go with him, and Xiao Gaomin also invited him. Of course he wanted to go, but he was afraid that it would spread to his aunt's ears and cause trouble again, so he finally refused.

"It's already noon, I don't want to look for other places, you go up and sit down first, I'll go find Master Qi to get some food to eat." Chu Heng said.

Chu Yan followed Ling Ye, and while walking upstairs, he quietly looked again.After being surprised, he recalled what he said just now, and felt something was wrong. "Brother Gu" seems to know too much about the situation in their Zhongpinghou's mansion, and Chu Yan noticed that he said "your father" and "your aunt". The head of the clan, and this "Brother Gu" in front of him not only has never used respectful speeches such as "father" and "lingtang", on the contrary, there is a faint sense of condescension in his words.

He said his surname was "Gu", but even Gu Yanshi, the eldest son of the Gu family in the northern border, had to pay attention to the etiquette of the younger generation when he mentioned Zhong Pinghou.

Chu Yan couldn't help feeling a little suspicious in his heart. He always felt that the identity of "Brother Gu" was not as simple as he said, and more importantly, he and his brother seemed to have a close relationship. Yes, when he entered the door just now, my brother seemed to be pulling his wrist.

The more Chu Yan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and when he looked at Ling Ye, he also began to feel awkward, and soon, his doubts were confirmed when he ate later.
