Li Baolu went to Gu's house to deliver the invitation, and then went to He's house.

Aunt Qin's father and brother are no longer there, but her mother, nephew and sister-in-law are still alive. Last time, she did not contact the He family to cover up her identity, but this time she is going to visit.

Then he went to the Imperial Academy to serve as a lecturer at Huang Wei's home...

Li Baolu ran around the inner city for a long time, and finally finished casting all the invitations in her hand. When he returned home, the concierge sent by the grandson was replying to Gu Jingyun, "...the master is serving sick in the palace, and there are people watching when he goes in and out, so he can't meet with you for a short time, but the master has said, you can do whatever you want to do with confidence." Do what you want, the nobleman in the palace misses the old man every day, even if he knows that you are back, he will not be angry."

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

Although the invitation was handed to the Gu family first, they all knew that the Gu family would definitely not find them, and they might not know that he had returned to Beijing until they walked around the capital.

The stewards will first screen the posts submitted to the Gu family, and put the posts that are familiar with the Gu family on one side, those with similar status to the Gu family on the other side, and those that are lower than the Gu family, and put them in another place. , the mansion is not written, only the name is listed as the lowest, but the unknown generation.

He will speak up, and the people inside will call someone if they want to see him, and if there is no reply, they will leave the post.

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

At the same time, the steward of the He Mansion, who was also screening the posts, immediately praised Gu Jingyun's greeting post and ran to the old lady.

"Madam, the cousin from Qiongzhou has come to Beijing!"

The old lady who was picking Buddha beans was shocked, and Madam He hurriedly supported her, "Mother, it's my sister who has a letter."

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, and Qiongzhou was written in the hometown.

And the He family knew that their aunt's husband's nephew was named Gu Jingyun.

The old lady looked at the words on the letter of worship, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, ask someone to invite, go quickly!"

The steward glanced at the sky outside, then quickly looked at Mrs. He.

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

Gu Jingyun was standing in front of the table practicing calligraphy, the news that his grandson handed him was very important, the emperor was ill, and he was already nostalgic, the situation was getting more and more favorable for him.

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

"It's 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 a large piece of paper and practiced again. When his mood was fluctuating, he practiced several pieces of paper in a row. The more he practiced, the calmer his mind became, and his edge gradually faded.

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.

Manager He was about to knock on the door when it opened with a "squeak". He was slightly surprised, looked at Li Baolu who opened the door, bowed and said, "But Mr. Gu's residence from Qiongzhou?"

"Yes, I wonder if you are?"

"The younger one is the steward of the He Mansion. My old lady immediately sent the younger one to invite me when she heard that the young master has come to Beijing." Steward He said enthusiastically, "Since the young master has returned to Beijing, there is no reason to live outside. It is because the Gu family is not good. If you want to live, you should also live in He's house."

Zhao Ning and Shun Xin heard the movement and looked at Guan Shi He suspiciously, "Sisters and sisters, are you acquaintances again?"

He Guanshi looked at Zhao Ning suspiciously, and said hesitantly: "This son is..." It seems that the age is not right, isn't it that Mr. Biao is only fourteen years old, why does he look so old?

Li Baolu introduced generously: "This is Mr. Zhao, a friend of the same year as my husband's. My husband is in the study. After a while, I will invite my husband."

Manager He was speechless, this, this is Biao Gongzi's wife?

Until he got into the carriage, Guan Shi still couldn't recover. He knew that early marriages among the people were very common, but the Qin family was a scholarly family, and their aunts and grandmothers were even more open-minded. In a family like theirs, children under eighteen would not get married. The cousin is only fourteen. Twelve or thirteen years old...

Not only Manager He, Mrs. He was also surprised when she saw Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu who came with her. On the contrary, Mrs. He took it for granted, excitedly recruited the two children, looked them up and down, and saw that their complexions were ruddy, pale and frostless, As soon as he rubbed Gu Jingyun's hand, he knew that he was doing well when he saw only calluses between his fingers.

Since he is doing well, her daughter must be doing well too.

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

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

Mrs. He was taken aback for a moment, her heart was filled with excitement and guilt at the same time, she didn't even know that her daughter gave birth.

Gu Jingyun comforted her for a while, and then accompanied her to have dinner, seeing that it was getting late, he dragged Li Baolu to leave.

Mrs. He hurriedly asked to stay, "Since you have already returned to Beijing, you should live in Beijing. What does it mean to live outside? I will ask someone to tidy up the yard, so you and your wife can stay here."

Mrs. He stood aside and cast down her eyes in silence.

Gu Jingyun declined, "I have classmates and friends who live with me, so it's not easy to stay overnight, and the Gu family hasn't come to visit, so I'm afraid they will lose their tongue if I stay rashly. Anyway, I have returned to Beijing, if the old lady wants me, just ask someone to call me .”

When Madam He thought of the Gu family, she felt apprehensive. After thinking for a moment, she slid a pair of jade bracelets from her wrists and put them into Li Baolu's hands, "Good boy, this is a gift from the old lady."

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

Mrs. He also hurriedly took off the bracelet from her hand and gave it to her, "This is from your cousin, it's not a good thing, you wear it for fun."

Li Baolu also accepted it.

The meeting gift Gu Jingyun received was a set of the Four Treasures of the Study and a jade plaque.

When they got out of He's house, it was already dark. The coachman of He's family took them back to the small courtyard. Zhao Ning was sitting at the dining table waiting for them. He didn't even ask, but pointed to the food and said, "This is made by the newly hired cook. You guys have a taste, if it tastes good, I will keep it."

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

Zhao Ning twitched the corner of his mouth, knowing that he had a tricky mouth, picked up the bowl and chopsticks to eat by himself.

Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu sat and watched him eat. No matter how good Zhao Ning was, he didn't have a good appetite. He didn't have a good appetite. He only took two mouthfuls of rice before putting down the bowl and chopsticks. Not too hungry either."

"Then let's have a chat," Li Baolu said, "Is the depressed look on your face your fault for not fulfilling our friendship as a landlord? Or is it your fault for keeping things from you?"

Zhao Ning pouted, and looked away with erratic eyes, "This is your business, how can I blame you? And you are not considered to be from the capital, so you don't need to show me any landlord friendship."

Gu Jingyun frowned.

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

She paused, glanced at Gu Jingyun and said: "We are from Qiongzhou, and I think you know that I was originally a criminal, and I improved my nationality after marrying Jingyun."

Zhao Ning opened his mouth.

"Jing Yun's biological father is the third master of the Zhongyonghou Mansion, and his biological mother is the younger sister of the former cabinet veteran Qin Xinfang. I think you should have heard of it?" Zhao Ning almost didn't bring it up.

He didn't know Zhongyonghou's Mansion, but he knew it was the noble family's house just by hearing the name. He knew it was Qin Xinfang, the former cabinet minister, and it was still his idol.

Gu Jingyun is his idol's nephew, no wonder he is so smart, it turned out to be hereditary.

Gu Jingyun's identity will no longer be a secret in a few days, instead of keeping Zhao Ning in the dark, it is better for them to explain, so as not to catch him off guard.

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

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

Gu Jingyun got up and said: "Then stay here with peace of mind, Baolu and I will be very busy during this period, you go around by yourself, I won't take you with me."

Zhao Ning nodded again and again, the depression in his heart was swept away, he felt hungry again, he couldn't help but 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.

Seeing that he was gone, Zhao Ning picked up the bowl to eat again.

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

"I'm hungry again!"

Shun Xin helplessly squatted aside.

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

"Go to Gu's house!"

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

"Mrs. He said that Princess Richang will hold a chrysanthemum banquet. I think everyone in the Gu family will go to participate, and the honorable family on the same street as them will also go to participate." good day."

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

"No, wear the dress Li An prepared for you. You are going to meet your father-in-law, so you have to dress formally, you know? Don't fight with others without my order." Gu Jingyun tapped her forehead and said softly: "Tomorrow, you just need to stand behind me, and everything will be with me."

Li Baolu was slightly disappointed.
