in the sound of swallows

Chapter 27

Gu Chaobei raised his head after finishing his wine glass.

He just sent someone to stop her, but he was already in the east courtyard?What are you doing running there in the middle of the night?Haven't gone back yet?

Ye Wenwen on the opposite side raised his head and saw that Young Master Gu's face suddenly changed. He praised the wine just now, but now his expression is as if a cockroach has been drunk from the wine.

"What's the matter?" After all, he was a close friend, Ye Wenwen asked with a smile.

"It's okay, the thrush raised in the house is not familiar with the boundary, so it flew out." Gu Chaobei sighed: "I'm afraid I have to go back and have a look."

Ye Wenwen raised his eyebrows: "Why is this bird so amazing? Didn't you make an appointment with me to spend seven days outside here? Don't make excuses to prevaricate me?"

"How could that be?" Gu Chaobei chuckled, "It's really because of the rarity of the bird. I'll go back in the dark, and I'll be back in the morning. Just pretend I've never left."

Ye Wenwen clicked his tongue twice: "You only pay attention to these flowers and birds, and you have a pity for a big basket of daughter's heart. Okay, you go, I will help you deal with this."

"Thank you." Gu Chaobei got up and left the table slowly.

"Hey, it's said that after Mr. Gu married Miss Shen San, there might be some changes, but the result is still the same." Seeing him leaving the table, someone next to him couldn't help but say a few words: "I didn't know anything before , and now he is even more addicted to sex, it seems that what was circulated in the capital may not be true."

"What rumors have been circulated in the past?" Someone who had just entered the capital asked with a smile.

"You don't know, it is said that Miss Shen San is very lucky and the prime minister of Wangfu. In the past, the princes and princes of several families rushed to get engaged. The young master was ruined."

"What's the use of Wangfu's face? Look at this Mr. Gu, isn't he still not making any progress?"

Ye Wenwen sipped his wine, and chuckled lightly when he heard the words: "That's right, I didn't make any progress at all, and I wasted so many master's worries."

After getting out of Zuihuayin, Gu Chaobei got on his horse and ran towards the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhuiyun followed behind and said, "The Young Madam invited Madam over there, so there shouldn't be any major incidents."

Gu Chaobei snorted coldly: "It's the one she took away, so I'm going back. That woman is very unclean."

Zhuiyun was slightly surprised, the eldest young lady usually looks generous and decent, how could she be unclean?Many people in the mansion thought that she was good at housekeeping and virtuous, not at all like the savage rumors outside.

"You all have to be tighter with me in the future." Gu Chaobei rode his horse and said, "Don't take anything from the east courtyard to the madam's yard. As long as the young lady asks the madam for something, come and tell me." .”

"Yes." Zhuiyun decided to trust his master, sometimes what the eyes see may not be true.

Dust was flying all the way, the horse stopped by the courtyard wall of the prime minister's mansion, without going through the door, Gu Chaobei climbed over the wall and entered with ease, and Zhuiyun led the horse to the stable.

Looking at the quiet surroundings, Gu Chaobei still took off his fancy outer robe first, and sneaked all the way to the east courtyard with only the dark inner robe inside.

"The flower pots in the backyard were stacked up, as if they stepped on the wall." Yu Shu was frowning and reported: "I went out to look around, but I didn't see anyone, probably ran away a long time ago."

"Could it be possible for a comatose person to climb over the wall by himself?" Shen Guiya was a little angry: "This time I tore her face, and if I think about using this method to cure her next time, it will definitely not work again. It is foolproof Yes, how could she escape?"

Yushu shrank her neck: "Maybe it's her luck."

"Fate?" Shen Guiya snorted coldly: "What is there to believe in superstitions? I believe in horoscopes even more! Forget it, let's go to bed first, anyway, she has no evidence to sue me this time, and she can't do anything to me. "

"Yes." Yushu hurried up to change her clothes.

escaped?Gu Chaobei breathed a sigh of relief, not interested in watching the next scene, turned around and left the east courtyard.

She even escaped by herself, it can only be said that it was fate, Shen Guiyan seemed to be an honest person, only to be bullied.

Going back to the North Courtyard to have a look, the man was indeed resting.Gu Chaobei went in quietly, and found helplessly that she had slept soundly.

It doesn't look like being bullied at all.

Touching his nose, Gu Chaobei chuckled and heaved a sigh of relief.

In her sleep, Gui Yan felt a little itchy on her face and a little hot on her lips, so she couldn't help but turned over.Then I heard someone whispering, and then there was nothing.

When she woke up, it was already bright outside, Shen Guiyan got up quickly, and Jiang Shi had already prepared clothes and breakfast.

"Today Fu Xueshi will send a plaque to the mansion." Jiang Shi glanced at her: "Did Madam rest well?"

Shen Guiyan's complexion was a bit pale, and Shen Guiyan nodded: "I learned a lesson yesterday, so I didn't sleep well."

Shen Guiya was able to do such a thing, which really shocked her.Fortunately, there was Xu's help, otherwise she would not be able to escape this time.

What kind of blood relatives, I almost thought that the man had changed his gender.These blood-related people are probably more vicious than irrelevant people, but this time it gave her a better understanding.

"Fu Xueshi is an important minister of the imperial court, and the prime minister will definitely greet him later, and there will be a lot of excitement in the house again." Jiang sighed: "It's a pity that the master is not here, and the limelight must belong to the East Court."

Shen Guiyan raised her eyebrows: "Limelight?"

"Bachelor Fu is very talented. He likes to recite poems and fight against each other the most. He is also the chief judge of this scientific examination." Jiang Shi said: "I sent the plaque by the way, I am afraid that I came to get close to the young master. Who knows the young master It will definitely win the championship.”

To put it bluntly, it doesn't count if you have strength, you have to go through relationships.

Shen Guiyan wasn't as worried as Jiang Shi, Gu Chaodong was capable, so he just had to give him the limelight.Now that the two parties are fighting in the imperial court, and the East Palace is regent, the situation is chaotic, but she feels that it may be a good thing for Gu Chaobei to stay away from the imperial court.

The plaque presented by Fu Xueshi was the "Hundred Years of Love" inscribed by the emperor himself last time, and Gu's mansion began to prepare for the ceremony early in the morning.Shen Guiya wore an extremely gorgeous red-bottomed gown with hundreds of flowers and brocade embroidery, and a yellow embroidered silver-trimmed long skirt inside, with bright hair on her hair.Of course, there is no need to say that it looks good, but it is too ostentatious.

Shen Guiya didn't think there was anything wrong, and stood happily beside Mrs. Gu.

Both Gu Chaodong and Gu Chaonan were standing in the hall early, Prime Minister Gu was also waiting, and Shen Guiyan went late.Quietly went to stand behind.

"Fu Xueshi is a celebrity in front of the queen, so it's good to be appreciated by him." Mrs. Gu pulled Shen Guiya and said: "I don't want you to win glory for Dong'er, just don't make mistakes later. "

Shen Guiya's eyes were full of excitement, she nodded on the surface, but she was extremely happy in her heart.A bachelor, at most, it is some poems and songs, which are not available in the history of this dynasty. If she recites some Tang poems and Song poems at will, these people will surely be able to make these people regard them as gods.

Shen Guiyan listened from behind, her thoughts changed a few times.

Today's empress is powerful, has a weird temper, and is not easy to please.If Gu Chaodong becomes an official, he will probably serve his subordinates, and he doesn't know whether it is good or bad.

"Here we come." Someone outside announced in a low voice, and the Prime Minister stood up to greet him: "Master Fu."

Fu Xueshi was a shrewd little old man, he laughed as soon as he came in: "The prime minister is overjoyed."

Prime Minister Gu laughed along, looking at the plaque carried in behind him.It was bestowed by the emperor himself, and he had already taken it to the royal craftsman in the palace to carve it, but was stopped by the queen, and after it was carved, it was like a gift, and he was specially sent to Xueshi Fu to send it to him.

What I want to say is nothing more than one sentence: no matter how powerful the emperor's grace is, there will be a phoenix beside him.

"Master Laofu is here."

Fu Xueshi waved his hand, followed the seated person, and swept around the room: "What about the new couple?"

Shen Guiyan paused, and then walked out to salute: "Sister Shen, the lady of the household, please greet my lord."

Fu Xueshi looked at her, looked at her for a while and said with a smile: "Fourth young master is so lucky."

Shen Guiyan's back was inexplicably cold, and she always felt that Xueshi Fu's eyes were too sharp. Just as he was about to say something to divert his gaze, Prime Minister Gu turned his head and asked Mrs. Gu, "Where's Bei'er?"

Mrs. Gu glanced at Fu Xueshi, and said in a low voice, "I didn't come back from outside."

"Ridiculous!" Prime Minister Gu was furious: "Send someone to bring him back to me! How can there be such a reason, the queen is so kind, and he still hasn't come back to thank you?"

Fu Xueshi laughed when he heard this sentence: "The fourth son is free and easy by nature, why should Xiangye get angry?"

"Hey, it's because I have no way to teach my son." Prime Minister Gu sighed, "I hope the queen will not blame me."

"How come, Prime Minister Gu is a loyal and filial family, so the empress knows of course." Xueshi Fu sat down and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

All the people in the hall laughed together, saying something and nothing.

Mrs. Gu saw that the time was almost up, and said: "The banquet has been prepared, Mr. Fu, please move to the flower hall."

"Thank you for the hospitality." Fu Xueshi got up, looked at Shen Guiyan again, and walked out with the prime minister with a smile.

"Have you always been called a talented girl before?" Shen Guiya passed by her, suddenly turned around and asked with a smile.

Shen Guiyan looked ahead and followed the crowd, ignoring her.

Shen Guiya snorted lightly: "Look at your high spirit, later I will show you what a real talented woman is."

Before in the Shen residence, Shen Guiya was not well-known because Shen Guiyan was too sharp.Now is the time for her to turn around. No matter how talented Shen Guiyan is, can she compare to the famous ancient poets?

Walking to the front with confidence, Shen Guiya supported Mrs. Gu's hand and smiled obediently, Shen Guiyan followed behind without any disturbance on her face.

During the banquet, the dancers danced, but Fu Xueshi seemed not interested, and everyone was so sleepy that he couldn't speak.High official residences usually keep dancers to satisfy the distinguished guests, but the ones in the prime minister's residence are too old-fashioned, and the dancers are not good at dancing.

Seeing Mrs. Gu's sad face, Shen Guiya felt that her chance to show up had come.

"The banquet is boring, why don't we come and talk about poetry?" Shen Guiya said: "Yesterday, Ya'er came across a line of poetry by chance, and heard that Mr. Fu is a good hand, so I wanted to show it out for my lord to comment on."
