Views:

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and my nephew seems to be getting more and more outstanding." The head of the Sun family, that is, the elder brother of the second wife of the Sima family, Sun Hong, deliberately sat next to Gu Cunjing, regardless of the juniors around him, and followed Gu directly. Cun Jing chatted.

"Uncle has won the prize," Gu Cunjing put down his chopsticks, and bowed his hands to Sun Hong with a smile, "But uncle looks a lot younger recently."

"Alas," Sun Hong waved his hand, poured himself a glass of wine and raised his head, "don't mention it."

Seeing his bitter face, Gu Cunjing took up the jug with his own hands, filled Sun Hong's glass, and listened to Sun Hong's nonsense, which seemed to be a complaint, but was actually unimportant.

It is said that after the accidental death of the girl from the second house of the Sima family, the second wife, Mrs. Sun, was always in a bad mood. People from the Sun family went to the Sima family to persuade them several times, but it seems that the effect of persuasion was not very good.

The topic of complaining brought up the empress dowager and saint in the palace. Gu Cunjing knew in his heart what Sun Hong was thinking, so he just laughed without saying a word.

"In another two years, His Majesty will get married, and I don't know which girl has such a fate," Sun Hong said with regret, "Pity my niece, she is outstanding in appearance and talented, but she is jealous of her beauty..."

Sun Hong's tone suddenly fell, as if the second girl of the Sima family was gone, which gave him a great blow. But as far as he knew, there was a beautiful girl in the Sun family, who was not even comparable to the girls of the Sima family, so she was quite famous in Beijing.

"Please uncle's condolences," Gu Cunjing tried his best to make his face look low, "Today is a good day for Sima's third uncle's family, you should be happy." After saying this, he saw Sun Hong His expression was a little weird, but he quickly regained his composure.

"You're right, today is a good day." Sun Hong looked up at the third master Sima, who was entertaining guests, and squeezed out a dry smile.

Sun Hong was quiet for a while, and said casually: "My nephew is the sage's close dragon guard. I want to know the sage's hobby very well."

Gu Cunjing raised his eyebrows slightly, and his tone was a little helpless; "Although His Majesty is young, he is a rare and wise monarch. In addition to learning to deal with the affairs of the state every day, he has no special hobbies for anything, even the Queen Mother is worried about His Majesty. It's too hard, I often persuade him to rest more."

Sun Hong has a toothache, is the little emperor really such a temperament

What's it like to live on this day

In Ru Cunjing, there is really nothing to ask, so Sun Hongyan calmly stopped going up, but after the banquet ended, he deliberately found Gu Cunjing and said that we would drink together next time.

Ever since he became the Dragon Guard, Gu Cunjing has become accustomed to the fact that people often ask him about the emperor. It's not that he is lying, but that the little emperor really can't find fault with his actions, and others can't tell that he has any special preferences.

However, with this knowledge, after Brother Gu entered the palace the next day, he was slapped in the face by the little emperor himself.

"Cunjing, I heard that there is a restaurant in the capital, and they are best at doing whole fish feasts?" After finishing the day's homework, Jin Yang looked up and saw Gu Cunjing standing at the door, and beckoned him to come in, "Have you heard that Is this restaurant?"

He not only heard about it, but also went to eat it.

Seeing that Jin Yang seemed to be interested in this restaurant, Gu Cunjing hesitated: "We Chen has been to this restaurant, and the whole fish feast they made is also interesting. Your Majesty, you are..."

"It just happened that I didn't have homework this afternoon, so you accompany me for a walk." Every five days, Jin Yang has a half-day rest time, and today is the day he should rest.

"There are many people outside the palace, and the ministers are worried..." Gu Cunjing felt that he was too naive when he thought about his oath yesterday that the emperor had no personal hobbies.

"Don't worry, I have already reported this to my mother, and my mother has no objection." Jin Yang has never been out of the palace since he ascended the throne. Now that he has the opportunity to go out, he is as stable as him, and it is inevitable that he is looking forward to it.

Since the Empress Dowager had no opinion, Gu Cunjing, the Dragon Imperial Guard, naturally couldn't say much. After the entourage was arranged, Gu Cunjing changed into his uniform and accompanied Jin Yang out of the palace.

Most of the mansions closest to the palace were the residences of the royal family or noble families. Jin Yang looked at it from a distance and saw that all the people passing by here were all cautious and light-handed, as if heavier hands and feet would offend the people in the mansion. Noble people in general.

When passing by the entrance of the Li family's mansion, Jin Yang glanced at the pair of majestic stone lions. The stone lions were very clean, so clean that there was no dust at all.

"Where is your home?" Jin Yang walked for a while, but he couldn't help but ask the Gu family's mansion plaque.

"Young Master, this is where the royal family and first-class families live. The lower house is a little farther from here," Gu Cunjing pointed to the west of Li's house, "It's over there."

"Well," Jin Yang nodded, with a slight smile on his pale cheeks, and walked slowly in the direction Gu Cunjing pointed.

Gu Cunjing was suspicious, His Majesty wouldn't really want to see what his door looked like, would he

Gu Rujiu was in a bad mood. This morning, she went to the suburbs to enjoy flowers with a few little sisters, but she met a few other girls who didn't know her very well. Originally, everyone gathered together to chat to pass the time, and it was pretty good. Before leaving, the girls of the Wu family and the Sun family pinched again.

I don't know what's going on between the girls from these two families. They are tit-for-tat with each other.

When the Li family invited the party last year, the girls from the two families were also having a bad time.

The atmosphere was too embarrassing, and everyone was not interested in continuing to play, so they had to go home.

"Girl, we're home," Qiu Luo whispered outside the carriage, "Second Young Master is coming here with a few young Young Masters."

Second brother

Gu Rujiu opened the curtain and got out of the car, and saw Gu Cunjing walking towards the house with a few people. Of course, this is not the point, the point is... The person walking in front of him is very familiar.

I'm going, how did the second brother bring the little emperor out

She murmured in her heart, but she didn't stop at her feet. She stepped forward without any hassle, and bowed her knees to Jin Yang: "Master Jin, second brother, Hello everyone."

Of the guards who can accompany the emperor to travel, which one is not from a noble background

Several dragon guards who were wearing uniforms bowed in return. Anyone who looked at such a pink and lovely girl could not feel disgust, not to mention that she was a fellow sister of a colleague, so she had enough face.

"Junior sister," Jin Yang returned the salute to Gu Rujiu like an ordinary young son, and then smiled: "It's a coincidence, I was going to go to the Quanyu Banquet Restaurant we mentioned last time with Cunjing, since I met you , why don't we go together." After speaking, he turned to look at Gu Cunjing behind him, "Cunjing, what do you think?"

Gu Cunjing looked at his sister, hesitantly said, "Young Master, my sister is a woman..."

"What about a woman? You can't keep your junior sister at home all day," Jin Yang raised his eyebrows, "not to mention that you and your maid are present, no one will think much about it."

Don't you see that my junior sister just came back after going out to play, who locked her at home

Gu Cunjing pulled out a stiff smile: "Young master said yes."

"Junior sister, let's go," Jin Yang's beautiful peach eyes looked at Gu Rujiu with infinite brilliance. It's like two little children who were longing for something, and finally one of them got it, and can't wait to share the brilliance with their partners.

Gu Rujiu looked into his eyes and nodded with a smile, "Yeah."

No matter how mature and prudent the little emperor is, he is only half a teenager.

"The capital is much more prosperous than Jincheng," Jin Yang took a handful of candy figurines from Bai Xian, gave one to Gu Rujiu, took one for himself, and gave the rest to Gu Cunjing for them to share with the dragon guards. , "I'm glad I believed the teacher's words at the beginning."

Gu Rujiu looked down at the candy man in his hand, it was a cute little girl with a bun head, and the little emperor was a little boy with a spatula head. With a thud, she bit down on Sugar Man's hand, her bulging mouth making it too late for her to speak.

Seeing her bun face bulging and the corners of her mouth stained with candy shavings, Jin Yang couldn't help but stop and took out a handkerchief, lowered his head and wiped the corners of Gu Rujiu's mouth, showing a particularly soft smile, "Junior sister eats something. It looks so cute."

Gu Rujiu almost choked on the candy that Gu Rujiu hadn't had time to swallow, little boy, do you know that this kind of behavior is called molesting an underage girl

She raised her head and stared at Jin Yang, seeing his gentle smile and her bun face printed in her pupils, she suddenly felt that her thoughts were evil, obviously the other party was just an underage boy with "brother power".

So her anger turned into a smile, her eyes narrowed into a crescent moon: "Thank you, brother."

"You're welcome." Jin Yang's voice was so gentle that he almost squeezed out the water, and he didn't dislike the dirty handkerchief he wiped off the corner of Gu Rujiu's mouth, so he stuffed it back into his sleeve.

Gu Cunjing, who followed behind the two, held a handful of candy figurines quite innocently, with a faint sense of danger that his brother's identity was being robbed.

The Liyulou is also laughed at as the Siyulou. Since its opening, its business has been very good, but the price is slightly higher. If there is no major event, ordinary people will be reluctant to spend money in it.

Several dragon guards can be regarded as regular guests here, so when Jin Yang and his party appeared, the shopkeeper personally led them to the private room upstairs, and served them with good water and tea.

"How many distinguished guests, but still the old rules?" The shopkeeper asked diligently, "Today, there are fresh fish just brought up from the river, all of them are very fresh and tender, and you will not be disappointed by the distinguished guests."

"Master, what kind of flavor do you like?" Gu Cunjing did not answer the shopkeeper, but respectfully asked Jin Yang.

"What special dishes does your restaurant have?" Jin Yang raised his head and asked the shopkeeper, with a very serious attitude, as if he was not asking about food, but about national affairs.

The shopkeeper was secretly surprised that even these noble sons respectfully called this young man a son. It can be seen that this person has an unusual identity, so he did not take it too much trouble. He memorized all the special dishes clearly, and also cleverly compared the taste of these dishes. Flavor was introduced.

"What do you like about Junior Sister?" Jin Yang nodded after listening. He was very satisfied with the shopkeeper's introduction, so he turned to ask Gu Rujiu's opinion.
