Li Baolu went to Gu's house to hand over the pilgrimage, and then went to He's house.

   Aunt Qin's father and brother are no longer there, but the mother and nephew and sister-in-law are still alive. Last time, in order to conceal their identity, they did not contact the He family, but this time they are going to visit.

   Then he went to the house of Huang Wei, a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy...

  Li Baolu ran around the inner city for a long time, and finally finished all the salutations on her hand. When he returned home, the concierge sent by Taisun was replying to Gu Jingyun, "...The master is serving illness in the palace, and everyone is watching when he goes in and out, so he can't meet with the son in the short term, but the master said that the son can do whatever he wants. If you want to do it, the noble people in the palace are thinking about their old friends on a daily basis, and even if he knows that you are back, he will not take anger."

  Gu Jingyun nodded thoughtfully, and said to Li Baolu who came in: "Prepare some souvenirs, we will go to see Mrs. He tomorrow."

Although the    pilgrimage was handed to the Gu family first, they all knew that the Gu family would never find them, and maybe they might not know that he had returned to Beijing until they walked around the capital.

The steward will first screen the posts that are passed in to the Gu family, and put the posts that are familiar with the Gu family on one side, the ones with a similar status to the Gu family on the other side, and those lower than the Gu family on the other side, and the posts like Li Baolu’s hand in. , The mansion did not write, only the name was listed as the lowest, but the nameless.

   He will say it up, the people inside will call someone if they want to see him, and he will give up if there is no reply to the post.

   The steward frowned and looked at Gu Jingyun's name, thinking it was a child of some side branch of the Gu family, so he threw it aside and decided to mention it when he replied to the master.

   At the same time, the steward of He Fu, who was also screening the posts, immediately ran to find the old lady after seeing Gu Jingyun's salutation post.

   "Old Madam, the young master from Qiongzhou has come to Beijing!"

  The old lady who was picking up the Buddha beans was shocked, and Mrs. He hurriedly supported her, "Mother, it's my sister who has faith."

   The old lady stretched out her hand tremblingly, and the steward hurriedly handed over the post. This post was different from the one for the Gu family. The place of origin was written in Qiongzhou.

   The He family knew that their aunt's husband's nephew was called Gu Jingyun.

  The old lady looked at the words on the back of the paper, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, ask someone to invite, hurry up!"

   The steward glanced at the sky outside and hurriedly looked at Mrs. He.

   Mrs. He nodded slightly, the steward hurriedly bowed and stepped back, and went out to the address left by Gu Jingyun to invite someone.

  Gu Jingyun was standing at the table practicing calligraphy. The news that Taisun handed him was very important. The emperor was ill and had already started to miss the old days. The situation became more and more favorable to him.

   There was light in his eyes, and he made a stroke.

   "Too sharp," Li Baolu shook her head and said, "I have to practice more."

   Gu Jingyun's eyes became calmer, and after thinking about it, he took out a large piece of paper to practice again. It was when his mood was up and down that he broke several pieces of paper in a row. The more he practiced, the calmer his mind became.

  Li Baolu was satisfied when she saw it, and when she heard a carriage parked outside the door, she quietly left to open the door.

   Director He opened the door with a squeak before knocking on it. He was slightly surprised, looked at Li Baolu who opened the door, bowed and said, "But Gu Gongzi's mansion from Qiongzhou?"

   "Yes, I don't know who you are?"

"The youngest is the steward of He's house. My old lady immediately sent the youngest to invite him when he heard that the young master came to Beijing," Steward He said enthusiastically: "Since the young master has returned to Beijing, there is no reason to live outside, it is because he is not good at taking care of the family. If you live, you should also live in where."

   Zhao Ning and Shunxin heard the movement and looked at He Guanshi in confusion, "Brother and sister, are you acquaintances again?"

   Director He looked at Zhao Ning suspiciously, hesitantly said, "This son is..." It seems that the age is not quite right, didn't he say that Young Master Biao is only fourteen years old, why does he look so big?

  Li Baolu introduced generously: "This is Mr. Zhao, my husband's friend of the same year. My husband is in the study. The steward will go to invite her in a while."

   Director He was speechless, this, this is the wife of the cousin?

   He still couldn't come back to his senses until he got into the carriage. He knew that early marriages were common among the people, but the Qin family was a scholarly family, and their aunts were even more enlightened. In a family like theirs, if their children were under 18, they would not get married. Twelve or thirteen years old...

Not only Mrs. He, but Mrs. He was also surprised to see Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu who came with her. Instead, Mrs. He was used to it, and excitedly recruited two children, looked at them up and down, and saw that their faces were ruddy, white and frost-free, and then again. As soon as he rubbed Gu Jingyun's hand and saw calluses between his fingers, he knew that he was doing well.

   If he is doing well, then her daughter must not be bad either.

   Mrs. He wept, took Gu Jingyun's hand and choked for a long time before asking, "Good boy, your aunt is her, how is she?"

   Gu Jingyun smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, old lady, aunt is fine." Gu Jingyun paused and smiled: "Old lady, don't you know, my aunt gave birth to a daughter safely last year, and now she is one year old."

   Mrs. He was stunned for a moment, feeling excited and remorseful. She didn't even know that her daughter gave birth.

   Gu Jingyun comforted her for a while, and then accompanied her to dinner. Seeing that it was getting late, he took Li Baolu and said goodbye.

   Mrs. He hurriedly kept her back, "Since you have already returned to Beijing, you should live in Beijing. What does it look like to live outside? I will ask someone to clean up the yard, so you and your wife can stay there."

   Mrs. He stood by and lowered her eyes without saying a word.

Gu Jingyun politely declined, "I have classmates and friends living with me, so it's not easy to stay overnight, and the Gu family hasn't come to visit, so I'm afraid that I'll get a word of mouth. Anyway, I've returned to Beijing, if the old lady wants me, just ask someone to call me. ."

   Mrs. He thought of Gu's family, and she was apprehensive. After thinking for a while, she slipped a pair of jade bracelets from her wrist and put them into Li Baolu's hands, "Good boy, this is a gift to you from the old lady."

  Li Baolu looked at Gu Jingyun, Gu Jingyun lowered her eyes slightly, Li Baolu bowed her knees and said, "Thank you, old lady."

   Mrs. He also hurriedly took off the bracelet from her hand and gave it to her, "This is given to you by my cousin, it's not a good thing, you are wearing it to play with."

  Li Baolu also accepted.

   Gu Jingyun received a set of four treasures of the study and a jade plaque.

When they got out of the He's house, the sky was getting dark. The driver of the He's family sent them back to the courtyard. Zhao Ning was sitting at the dining table waiting for them. Seeing the two of them entering the house with a cold air, he opened his mouth and opened his mouth again, what was he talking about? He didn't ask, but pointed to the meal and said, "This is made by the newly invited cook. You can taste it. If it tastes delicious, I will leave it."

  Gu Jingyun sat down and ate a chopstick, put it down and said, "I can barely eat it, so let's keep it. Baolu and I have already eaten it, you can use it."

  Zhao Ning twitched the corners of his mouth, knowing that he was sloppy, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks to eat by himself.

Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu just sat and watched him eat. No matter how good Zhao Ning was, his appetite would not be good, not to mention that he had a bad appetite at first, so he only took two bites of rice and put down the tableware, "I ate too much snacks this afternoon, I will Not too hungry."

   "Then let's chat," Li Baolu said, "Do you blame us for not fulfilling the friendship of landlords with your depressed look? Or do you blame us for hiding things from you?"

  Zhao Ning pouted and looked to the side with erratic eyes, "This is your business, how can I blame you? Besides, you are not from the capital, so you don't have to show me the friendship of the landlord."

  Gu Jingyun frowned.

  Li Baolu looked at him sincerely, "Zhao Ning, we treat you as a friend, we will tell you what we can tell you."

   She paused, glanced at Gu Jingyun and said, "We are from Qiongzhou, I think you know that, in fact, I was a sinner, and I improved my status after marrying Jingyun."

   Zhao Ning opened his mouth.

   "Jing Yun's biological father is the third master of Zhongyong Hou's mansion, and his biological mother is the younger sister of Qin Xinfang, a former cabinet minister. I think you must have heard of it?" Zhao Ning almost didn't mention the breath in his chest.

He didn't know    Zhongyong Hou's mansion, but just by the name he knew that it was the house of honor and honor. He knew that the former cabinet minister, Qin Xinfang, was still his idol.

  Gu Jingyun is the nephew of his idol, no wonder he is so smart, it turns out to be hereditary.

  Gu Jingyun's identity will no longer be a secret in a few days. Rather than keeping Zhao Ning in the dark, it is better for them to explain so that he won't be caught off guard.

Li Baolu briefly explained the grievances and grievances between the two families, and said, "The Gu family may not be willing to return Jingyun to Beijing, so there will be no shortage of open guns and dark arrows in the future, and you may be implicated if you live with us. If you are not familiar with it, you can live here first, and if you are familiar with it later, you can move out."

   Zhao Ning shook his head again and again, and said with the same hatred: "I live with you, and we can take care of each other in the future. If there is anything I can help, feel free to speak."

  Gu Jingyun got up and said, "Then stay at ease. Baolu and I will be very busy during this time. If you walk around by yourself, I won't take you."

   Zhao Ning nodded again and again, the depression in his heart was swept away, and he felt hungry again. He glanced at the dining table and said, "You must be tired after running around for a long time. Go and rest first."

   Gu Jingyun glanced at him, took Li Baolu and left.

   Zhao Ning picked up the bowl to eat again when he saw that he was gone.

  Shun Xin: "...Young Master, aren't you full?"

   "I'm hungry again!"

  Shunxin squatted beside him helplessly.

  Li Baolu put the gift she received into the box and asked, "Where shall we go tomorrow?"

   "Go to the house!"

   "But the Gu family didn't come to invite us, maybe I haven't seen the post yet, didn't you say you want to visit Lord Huang and the others first?"

"Mrs. He explained that Princess Richang is mainly holding a chrysanthemum banquet. I think everyone from the Gu family will attend it, as well as the Xungui's house on the same street." good day."

  Li Baolu's eyes lit up, she clenched her fists and said, "Then I will wear short clothes tomorrow?"

"No, wear the dress Li An prepared for you. You're going to see your father-in-law. Do you have to dress formally? Don't fight without my order." Gu Jingyun lightly tapped her forehead and said softly: "Tomorrow you just need to stand behind me, and everything has me."

  Li Baolu was slightly disappointed.
