"It's easy to say." Chu Yi said lightly, smiling lightly.

He picked up the jug again, filled his own and Gu Yanfei's glasses with wine, and changed the topic: "The Yu family has a villa in Peng County, Yuzhou, and a woman is buried in the back mountain of this village."

"This woman was sent to this villa sixteen years ago, and later gave birth to a daughter."

Chu Yi bites every word clearly, and his tone of voice is always moist and gentle.

Xia Houqing narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, and the jade cup spinning in her hand stopped suddenly, the wine in the cup swayed up and down, almost spilling over the rim of the cup.

Chu Yi drank slowly.

The pavilion became silent, except for the cats and peacocks outside the pavilion.

After a moment of silence, Chu Yi continued: "This villa is the escape route left by the Yu family for my family. It is recorded in the name of a loyal servant, and it is rarely known. Zhuangzi privately hid gold, silver and jewelry, land deeds , ancient books, and several bloodlines of Benzhi... are also the last property of the Yu family."

Xia Houqing still didn't speak, and slowly turned the jade cup half filled with wine in her hand.

Wisps of sunlight penetrate the jade cup as thin as cicada's wings, and the rippling liquor in the cup can also be glimpsed from the side, which is as crystal clear as amber and extremely beautiful.

"Jingshan." Xia Houqing called out suddenly, with a hint of hoarseness in her voice, and at the same time raised her hand to make a gesture.

The black-clothed boy named Jing Shan understood, brought a palm-sized box, and placed it in front of Xia Houqing.

Xia Houqing stretched out a finger and pushed the box towards Chu Yi, "This is a gift in return."

Chu Yi put down the empty wine glass, opened the box and saw that there was a piece of neatly folded tissue paper inside.

"This seat never takes advantage of others."

Xia Houqing spoke these words very slowly, and his voice was extremely melodious. These words were spoken by him, with a sharp ending, indescribably seductive and bewitching, like a fox charm in the mountains and forests entering the world.

While speaking, a slight smile slowly appeared on the corner of his lips.

His smile is always seductive and weird, which makes people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts, and makes people feel that they have bad intentions.

Chu Yi slowly unfolded the tissue paper and looked at it with half-closed eyes.

"Your Majesty, you really have the intention to return the gift." Chu Yi smiled lowly, and under the reflection of the wine in the cup, his black pupils seemed to be covered with a layer of clear light from the bright moon.

The two sit opposite each other, one is like a demon, the other is like a fairy, with a strange style of painting.

"Meow meow meow!"

The cat's excited voice became even more excited, and it successfully sat on the peacock's back again by beating around.

Gu Yanfei looked at the arrogant and cunning cat, and listened to the two's maneuvers, and muttered: "There are so many eyes."

This one and two have so many minds!

Two people with many eyes, you come and go, and when the two parties toast and drink, it is already the end of the moment.

Xia Houqing left after half an hour, and it was not until dusk that Chu Yi sent Gu Yanfei and the cat back to Gu's Mansion in the capital.

Half of the setting sun has set, the sky at dusk is getting darker and darker, and red clouds occupy half of the sky.

At the gate of Gu Mansion, Gu Yuan had been waiting in the courtyard behind the door for a long time, watching Gu Yanfei say goodbye to Chu Yi outside the mansion through the open corner door with a depressed face, and then slowly rode his horse into the mansion .

"Brother," Gu Yanfei rode his horse up to Gu Yuan, got off the horse, touched Hong Yu's slender and beautiful neck, and said with a smile, "You came back so early today."

This is the time of the year.

Before Gu Yanfei came back, Gu Yuan had a lot of things to say in his heart. When facing his sister at this moment, those thousands of words turned into a dry sentence: "I will take a rest today..."

The first prince gave him a day off temporarily this morning. He was very happy at first. On the way back to the palace this morning, he was thinking that he could take his sister out of the city for an outing today, but only after he came back did he find out that his sister had been abducted to play.

The eldest prince clearly didn't take him with him on purpose!

The corners of Gu Yuan's eyes twitched, thinking back to the way his younger sister and the eldest prince talked, laughing and laughing at Yan Yan just now, his mood became more complicated, and he felt quite sad that his sister was about to be snatched away.

Gu Yuan couldn't help but took two steps forward, and gently stroked Gu Yanfei's soft hair.

As soon as he got closer, he saw the three-haired cat hiding in the hood of Gu Yanfei's cloak and sleeping into a ball of fur. His heart softened, and a thought suddenly popped up: This cat is so clingy to my sister, I'm afraid He also wants to marry his sister as a dowry.

Dowry?

When these two words surfaced in his mind, Gu Yuan's expression changed slightly again, his thin lips tightened.

His stern face was a little fierce and a little cold, and the little servant Wutong next to him felt a little bit in his heart, worried that the young master was angry.

Gu Yuan didn't pay attention to Wutong at all, what was worrying about his sister's dowry.

He still remembered hearing a casual friend mention that his sister's dowry had been prepared for ten years, but his mother still didn't think it was good enough, and recently sent people all the way to Yue and the Western Regions to buy it.

He is ten years later than others, shouldn't he hurry up and save his sister's dowry?

Although the capital is prosperous, there are still many good things to buy from other places. The tea is good from Yangzhou, the silk is good from Yue, and the porcelain is good from Yuzhou... It takes time to go back and forth to these places!

The more Gu Yuan thought about it, the more anxious he said, "Sister, I'm going out for a while, and I'll be back soon."

"Wait!" Gu Yanfei walked over suddenly and patted Gu Yuan's shoulder lightly, "It's bad luck."

Gu Yanfei looked at Gu Yuan again, and smiled with satisfaction, "Okay!"

"Then I'm leaving." Gu Yuan didn't ask much, and hurriedly walked towards the east corner gate, but after taking a step, he remembered something, turned around, and headed towards the stable.

Gu Yanfei winked at Wutong with big eyes, meaning, what's wrong with big brother?

Indus: "..."

Wu Tong also couldn't see what his young master was thinking, and only vaguely guessed that the young master was not angry, as if there was something urgent.

"Second Miss, go and have a look." Wu Tong quickly followed Gu Yuan to the stable.

Only Gu Yanfei and Hong Yu were left looking at each other, and the red horse let out a heartless "Hui Hui" twice.

Gu Yuan was a vigorous and resolute person, he did what he said, and immediately went to the Fan Mansion a few blocks away, talked to his cronies and friends, and then left.

An hour later, the other party arrived at Lanshan Pavilion, one of the four most famous restaurants in the capital, and met Gu Yuan.

"Gu Yuan, this is the dowry list of my fifth younger sister." A young man in his twenties, wearing an apricot red straight gown, took out some randomly folded tissue paper from his arms and put them on the table.

The red gold flower crown on Fan Beiran's head was shining brightly, and his whole person was like a lantern in the dark.

"Am I loyal enough?" As soon as he sat down, he triumphantly begged Gu Yuan for a reward, "I copied this secretly behind my mother's back, and for this reason I even bribed my seventh brother to pester my mother." .”

Gu Yuan picked up the dowry list, a slight smile appeared on his stern face when facing his friend, and said, "I bought this wine today."

"That's not enough!" Fan Beiran drank the wine in the glass with his head up, put the empty wine glass heavily on the table, and said with a smile, "Recently, there have been a few players playing the pipa and singing ditty in this Lanshan Pavilion. It's like Huang Ying, and it's no worse than those Huadan and Tsing Yi in Tianyin Pavilion."

Without waiting for Gu Yuan to agree, Fan Beiran called his servants in, and said with a playful smile, "Go and call Mo Liu, Yue San, and Duan Wu, and tell them that Gu Yuan invited them to drink and listen to a ditty. "

His little servant happily ran away.

"You are a very busy person now, busy with errands all day long, and you don't even have time to ride horses with us." Fan Beiran curled his lips sourly, and then shrugged, "Today we must not stop getting drunk with us!"

Gu Yuan's response was to raise his head and drink up the wine in the glass, then called Xiaoer over, and ordered another ten jars of fine wine.

Fan Bei was overjoyed, he patted the table and said, "Gu Dayuan, if you can't finish the wine today, no one is allowed to leave!"

Ten jars of fine wine were moved into the private room one after another, and even the private room seemed a lot crowded. The younger brother smiled from ear to ear, and happily put down the last jar of wine.

"Two young masters, wait a moment, the singing girls will be here soon." Xiao Er came over to pour wine for the two of them, and when he arrived with a smile on his face, he heard a commotion from the street outside the window.

Both Gu Yuan and Fan Beiran looked down casually, and saw that Lanshan Pavilion was in the cloth shop opposite, a lot of people were crowded, coming and going, the shop assistants took rolls of cloth out of the shop, Loaded into a green covered carriage.

Some people on the street were also attracted by the bustle here, stopped curiously, and asked other passers-by, the door of the cloth village became more and more lively.

Xiao Er craned his neck and glanced at the street from the window, then gossiped with a smile: "I heard that it's from Kang Wang's Mansion who came to buy from the opposite side."

"Speaking of which, King Kang is going to get married soon, and the younger ones will definitely have to go to join in the fun, so that we can see how particular the weddings of the nobles are these days."

"I heard that when the time comes, Prince Kang's mansion will reward silver. Last time when Prince Rui's eldest son got married, he sprinkled several baskets of copper coins and silver coins. There were a few children in my cousin's family who snatched the money." Arrived at Yinkezi."

Xiaoer talked more and more vigorously, his eyes sparkled.

Fan Beiran and Gu Yuan grew up wearing a pair of trousers. Even if Gu Yuan didn't say it directly today, Fan Beiran could have guessed that Gu Yuan asked him to ask for this dowry list for Gu Yanfei.

He patted Gu Yuan on the shoulder and said, "If there is anything I can help, just say it, your sister is also my sister!"
