In the morning, the dew is slightly frosty...
A ray of sunshine just passed through the window of the Corner Palace, and the birds were chirping...
In the room, the fragrance of tea lingers...
Gong Shangjiao sat on one side of the tea table, and Gong Hongyu sat opposite him. The two of them were silent, and the atmosphere was a bit stagnant.
"So, Ayao did it on purpose?" Gong Hongyu finally spoke first.
"Yes, but I asked Zhi Ren about it, but Zhi Ren hasn't answered yet." Gong Shangjiao's voice was calm, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.
"Yes, but she has already chosen Gongmen. In so many years, she has not conveyed a message to Wufeng." Gong Hongyu sighed and finally admitted.
"Who is she?" Gong Shangjiao couldn't help but ask.
"Shang Jiao, I know you only care about Gongmen, but I can guarantee this. Wuming will never do anything to harm Gongmen. It's not that I don't trust you, but the less people know about this, the better." Hongyu's meaning is very clear, I'm sorry, I can't tell you.
"I understand, then please stop asking about Ayao's affairs. Everything she does has my instructions!" Gong Shangjiao naturally took up the responsibility.
"But Shang Jiao, twenty years ago, you were only seven or eight years old. Who told you this unknown thing?"
"The medicine man in the Moon Palace!" Gong Shangjiao took a sip of tea and replied calmly.
"If Wu Feng's plan is really what you said, then the palace will have to choose the bride in advance!" Gong Hongyu's way to deal with it is to choose the bride in advance and catch Wu Feng off guard.
"Not in advance!" Gong Yaozheng's voice came from outside the door. She yawned. It was terrible to get up early today!
Gong Hongyu and Gong Shangjiao looked at the door and saw Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Yuanzheng standing at the door. Since they were holding swords, they did not come in.
Gong Hongyu glanced at Gong Shangjiao, and when he faced Gong Yuanzheng, his square and majestic face showed kindness: "Ayao! What's the matter with you and Yuanzheng coming to Jiao Palace so early?"
"It's okay, come and return the cloak!" Gong Yaozheng motioned to Gong Shangjiao's cloak in her hand.
"What are you doing standing outside? Come in quickly!" Gong Hongyu then realized that they were still standing outside and asked them to come in.
Gong Yaozheng accepted it and walked in, handing the cloak to the servants of Jiao Palace.
"Sit!" Gong Hongyu motioned to the cushion beside him.
Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Yuanzheng thanked each other and sat down. Gong Shangjiao calmly poured two cups of tea for them.
"Just now you said, no need to advance, what do you mean?" Gong Hongyu asked
"Literally, Wu Feng cannot break through the defense line of the palace gate for the time being. If he had broken through after so many years, he would have broken through already. We can't make mistakes. The palace gate selection can only be postponed, not in advance!" Gong Yaozheng picked up the teacup, He took a sip gently, his eyes serious.
"It must not be postponed!" Gong Hongyu interrupted.
"The palace already has few heirs, and Shang Jiao and Huan Yu are about to establish themselves. If you don't get married, do you want the palace to be extinct?" Gong Hongyu said very seriously, which made Gong Yaozheng raise his eyebrows slightly, with a bleak look in his eyes. .
Isn't this just how parents arranged marriages in ancient times? He glanced at Gong Shangjiao and his younger brother Yuanzheng with distress, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, how pitiful!"
Gong Shangjiao was puzzled by this sight, and Gong Yuanzheng was amused by his sister. He was not yet an adult, so it was not his turn to choose a bride!
"Then just follow the original plan!" Gong Yaozheng said nonchalantly.
Gong Hongyu felt that Gong Yaozheng was in a wrong state today. He was usually polite and courteous, but what about today?
If Gong Yaozheng knew what Gong Hongyu was thinking, he would definitely tell him that he would get up angry if he didn't sleep well!
Gong Shangjiao saw something wrong with Gong Hongyu's expression and said to Gong Yaozheng, "Ayao, why are you talking to Zhibian?"
"Brother!" Gong Yuanzheng quickly protected his sister.
Gong Hongyu saw something was wrong and smiled: "Ayao is still young, Shang Jiao, don't blame her!"
Among the two ladies of the Gong family, compared to Gong Zishang, Gong Yaozheng is really more knowledgeable and courteous.
"Master Zhuibian, please don't blame me. Ayao just didn't wake up this morning. My tone was inappropriate. Please forgive me, Zhibian!" Gong Yaozheng got down the slope and bowed obediently.
"No wonder, no wonder!" Gong Hongyu said with a smile.
"Since it's not strange to hold a sword, what about choosing a bride?" Gong Yuanzheng smiled softly, but Gong Yuanzheng beside him had already felt his sister's irrefutable tone.
"Just listen to Ayao!" Gong Hongyu also figured out that even if he chooses a bride in advance, Wu Feng should arrange for the assassin to come in, or arrange for the assassin to come in. It is better to let the palace gate live in peace for a few more days.
When the time comes, Gongmen can take precautions in advance and catch the Wufeng assassin. Thinking about it carefully, Ayao is right, there is no need for Gongmen to mess up his position.
He once again looked at Gong Yaozheng with admiration. If this girl wasn't a woman, he would have wanted to pass on the position of holding the sword to her!
Gong Hongyu told Gong Shangjiao a few more words, saying that Ayao was a woman, so he must not be harsh to her and be more accommodating in everything, and then he was ready to leave.
Gong Yuanzheng winked at Gong Yuanzheng. Gong Yuanzheng gave Gong Yuanzheng a gesture that Gong Yuanzheng taught him. His thumb and index finger were slightly bent, with their fingertips touching each other, forming a circle. The other three fingers naturally moved Open.
Gong Yaozheng and Gong Shangjiao brought the sword to the door of Jiao Palace. Gong Hongyu asked them to stop, started using Qinggong and left.
Gong Yaozheng watched with envy as the sword disappeared from his eyes after a while.
Gong Shangjiao looked at Gong Yaozheng amusedly: "I asked you to practice with Yuanzheng, but you refused. Now you are envious?"
Gong Yuanzheng glanced at Gong Shangjiao. She was crazy to get up early in the morning and go to work with her brother Yuanzheng. She was tired enough after going to school and working in her previous life. She didn't want to stand even if she could lie down in this life.
Practicing? Anyone can practice Qigong, but it can never be her.
"Don't envy me, I still have Yuanzheng's younger brother! He can take me with him, whoosh!" Gong Yaozheng made a few flying gestures and smiled brightly.
Gong Shangjiao looked at Gong Yaozheng with a smile. He had always doted on this sister. Of course, Ayao deserves his love, and so does Yuanzheng! Speaking of the expedition against his younger brother, Gong Shangjiao then remembered, where is the expedition?
With a slightly cold look on his face, he left with his sword in hand. The expedition didn't even come out to see him off. Where did he learn the rules?
The two returned to the room and saw Gong Yuanzheng making tea. Gong Yuanzheng quickly sat down in Gong Shangjiao's original position, while Gong Yuanzheng was now sitting in the position where Gong Hongyu was sitting just now.
Gong Shangjiao shook his head helplessly and had to sit where Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Yuanzheng were sitting just now.
Gong Shangjiao didn't know what kind of medicine the siblings were selling, but he was happy to play with them.
It was already getting brighter now, and the mist in the Old Dust Valley seemed to have dispersed a lot.
The sun shines through the windows of the Corner Palace and onto the tea table, and the mist is like a dream under the refraction of the light.
Gong Yuanzheng looked at the tea that had been boiled: "This is Zhenggong's Ziyanluo. My sister said I would give it to my brother to try."
Gong Shangjiao's face remained expressionless as always, and only the slight movement of the corners of his mouth showed that he was in a very good mood.
Gong Yaozheng talked about another thing: "Second brother, can you take me with you when you go to Jiangnan this time?"
"cannot!"
Gong Yaozheng: How did your 37-degree mouth say such cold words?
"Sister, what are you doing out of the palace?" Gong Yuanzheng paused when he heard this.
Naturally, Gong Yaozheng didn't really want to go to Jiangnan, he just wanted to divert Gong Shangjiao's attention.
So Gong Yaozheng smiled and said: "I heard that there is Gusu City in the south of the Yangtze River. The scenery is very beautiful. I want to see it."
Gong Yaozheng winked at Gong Yuanzheng out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't know that Gong Shangjiao had already seen him with a smile in his eyes.
"I've been in Gusu for a while, and the scenery is not as good as the Old Chen Valley. It's okay not to go!" Gong Shangjiao said, his expression was very dull, as if Gusu really couldn't compare to the Old Chen Valley.
If Gong Yaozheng hadn't traveled to Suzhou in his previous life, seen the tranquility of Hanshan Temple, and admired the maple leaves of Tianping Mountain, she would have believed it!
A city in Suzhou, half of Jiangnan poetry. How can the beauty of Gusu be compared to that of Jiuchen Valley?
Although the scenery of the back mountain is also very beautiful! But you can’t just go there casually!
Gong Yaozheng felt that people from the front mountain could not go to the back mountain, and people from the back mountain could not go to the front mountain. This rule was not good at all! Jiuchen Valley was already such a big place, (although it was difficult for her to walk from Zheng Palace to Yu Palace on two legs) and it was divided into two halves!
The people in the back mountain cannot see the excitement of the front mountain, and the people in the front mountain cannot see the wonders of the back mountain. It is really a pity that the main theme is literature!
If there is a chance in the future, I must abolish this rule! must!
While Gong Yuanzheng was thinking, he looked at Gong Shangjiao with disbelief. Gong Shangjiao looked a little embarrassed. He took the teacup handed over by Gong Yuanzheng and took a sip of tea.
Gong Yuanzheng's eyes lit up and he looked at Gong Yuanzheng, who nodded towards her. Gong Yaozheng was happy and didn't mention going to Jiangnan: "I'll go back to Zheng Palace to catch up on my sleep. You two can chat."
With that said, he picked up his skirt and prepared to return to Zheng Palace. But then, she stopped, turned around, and walked towards a room in the Corner Palace. I almost forgot, she also has her own room in Corner Palace!
Gong Yaozheng buried his head in the quilt and fell asleep contentedly.
Gong Shangjiao saw Gong Yuanzheng floating away like a butterfly, and asked Gong Yuanzheng a little funny: "Why is Ayao so happy suddenly."
"Brother, after my sister used your cup last night, she was so angry that she didn't sleep all night. She had to let you use her cup this morning!" Gong Yuanzheng said with an innocent look.
Gong Shangjiao's hand holding the cup was a little unsteady. He looked at Gong Yuanzheng in disbelief and asked.
"So, this cup is?"
"No, my sister only thought about retaliating with tit, but she never thought that she is a woman and she is the one who suffers if we share the same cup! I am using a new cup." Gong Yuanzheng said with a smile. His sister has never known what shyness is. I really need to get some wax for my future brother-in-law!
But the future brother-in-law will also have to pass his own test. Anyone he doesn't recognize will never get even remotely close to his sister!
Gong Shangjiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Aren't you afraid that Ayao will find out and be angry with you?"
"Sister will not be angry with me!" Gong Yuanzheng said with a smile in his eyes. Ever since he was a child, even if his sister was angry, it would only be loud and clear. Once he softened a little, his sister felt extremely distressed.
"I will leave for Jiangnan in a few days. You must be careful in the palace gate. I have asked craftsmen to assemble the crystal swing that Ayao wants in the past few days. You can ask the servants of Zheng Palace to find it when the time comes. Put it on the tree." Gong Shangjiao was infected by Gong Yuanzheng's smile, and his words softened unconsciously.
"What about mine?" Gong Yuanzheng pouted unconsciously.
"How can we leave out the expedition brother?" Gong Shangjiao couldn't let go of his lips.
He glanced at Jin Fu, who went down. After a while, a box came over. I didn’t know what was in the box.
Gong Yuanzheng took it and opened it,
It's a suit of clothes!
He looked at Gong Shangjiao in confusion, these clothes?
"This is what I bought at an auction house last time I went to Jindu. The fur coat made of Luquan brocade is invulnerable to water, fire and weapons. I thought it would be a good match for my brother on the expedition, so I brought it back!" Gong Shang Jiao explained.
Gong Yuanzheng traced the clothes in the box with his hands, unable to take away the smile on his face, looking a little squeamish.
"I'm not a child anymore, and I still need my brother to buy me clothes!" His tone was arrogant, but the joy in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
"With me, you can always be a child!" Gong Shangjiao said seriously.
The green-brown clothes are covered with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered with silver thread, and the hem has the unique luster of Luquan brocade, shining in the sun.
The whole set of clothes, from the armor to the waistband, all reveal exquisiteness. The black cloak is embroidered with silver curling patterns, and a large piece is like a wing. Not to mention the embroidery work, the brocade used for this heavy-duty fur coat costs a thousand taels. A piece of gold.
Gong Yuanzheng closed the box and put it away.
"Do you have a sister?" Gong Yuanzheng asked.
"She doesn't need it."
It wasn't that Gong Shangjiao didn't want to buy her clothes, it was that Gong Yaozheng disliked the clothes Gong Shangjiao picked out and never wore them.
Gong Shangjiao doesn't understand, shouldn't every girl like pink, green, blue, cyan, goose yellow and other colors?
But Gong Yaozheng is different. She likes white, black, brown and other dark clothes.
As for Gong Yuanzheng, if she can wear it, she will definitely like it!
Gong Yaozheng usually wore a plain dress. Unlike the flamboyant Miss Zishang, as long as she kept calm and walked slowly over, no one noticed that someone was passing by.
Gong Yuanzheng thought to himself, it's okay. If my brother doesn't buy it for his sister, he will buy it for her himself!
Although my sister doesn’t lack clothes on weekdays...
However, spring is coming soon, do you want to make a jacket for your sister?
………
At noon,
Gong Yaozheng opened his eyes and looked at the dazzling sun outside the window. It was noon, and he had a good sleep this time!
She smelled the aroma of the food and went over, and saw Gong Shangjiao sitting at the dinner table.
"Where's my brother Yuanzheng?" Gong Yuanzheng looked around, but he didn't see Gong Yuanzheng.
"He came back to Zheng Palace to call you. Didn't you see him?" Gong Shangjiao didn't say the rest.
She did not see the expedition, but now she is in the Corner Palace, which means that she did not return to the expedition palace at all this morning!
"Sit down!" Gong Shangjiao had nothing to say. It was okay. Yuan Zheng found out that his sister was missing and would come to Jiao Gong to find him. He could just wait.
Gong Yaozheng sat down. The lunch in Jiao Gong still didn't have any meaty taste, but fortunately it was full of color, flavor and flavor.
"What did you say happened to the expedition?" Gong Yaozheng asked belatedly as he was a little confused.
"It's okay. Yuanzheng will be here soon. If you are hungry, eat first." Gong Shangjiao used serving chopsticks to pick up some vegetables for Gong Yuanzheng and put them in her bowl.
Gong Yaozheng looked at the celery in the bowl and suspected that Gong Shangjiao did it on purpose.
"Mr. Gong Er is really a noble man who forgets things. Do you still remember that your sister Zheng Gong doesn't like to eat celery?" Gong Yaozheng said angrily.
Gong Shangjiao: "..." He thought it was lettuce...
The atmosphere suddenly became subtle. Gong Shangjiao coughed twice. Counting the time, he should be back from the expedition soon.
really,
Gong Yuanzheng's urgent voice came from outside the door: "Brother, my sister is missing...sister?"
As soon as Gong Yuanzheng ran into the room, he paused and his voice stopped suddenly.
Gong Yaozheng didn't understand what was going on, but she was stupid. She quickly asked him to sit down: "Brother Yuanzheng is tired from running. Come, eat some celery!"
With that said, he pushed the untouched bowl to Gong Yuanzheng.
Gong Yuanzheng looked at the celery in the bowl. His sister would definitely not pick up the celery by herself, that is?
Gong Yuanzheng glanced at Gong Shangjiao, no way! How could his brother, who is such a careful person, forget that his sister cannot eat celery?
But then, he said with an aggrieved look: "Sister, where did you just go?"
"Well, Zheng Palace is too far away, so I fell asleep in Jiao Gong's room. Thank you for your hard work, brother. Can I give you a pat on the back?" He started to give Gong Yuan Zheng a pat on the back.
Gong Yuanzheng grabbed her and said, forget it, he can't afford his sister's skills.
…
After a while, a servant brought soup. Gong Yaozheng was a little surprised. The sun came out in the west?
Can Kakunomiya make chicken soup?
"Yuanzheng said that you didn't sleep last night. The chicken soup I made for you is all yours. Drink it up!" Seeing Gong Yuanzheng's surprised expression, Gong Shangjiao couldn't help but explain.
"I can't finish it, brother Yuanzheng, you drink first!" Gong Yuanzheng poured a bowl of chicken soup for Gong Yuanzheng smoothly, and also put a chicken drumstick in the bowl.
Gong Yuanzheng took the bowl: "Thank you, sister!"
Gong Shangjiao coughed lightly and gestured to his bowl.
Gong Yaozheng hesitated and asked, "You want it too?"
"Um!"
"Just say no!" After saying that, he picked up Gong Shangjiao's bowl and poured a bowl of soup. After hesitating for a moment, he put a chicken head in. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and covered it with a piece of chicken. He picked up the chicken head and handed it to Gong Shangjiao.
Gong Yuanzheng was eating chicken legs and looking at his sister's malicious smile, he thought for a moment that the bowl of chicken soup was poisoned.
Gong Yaozheng gave the other chicken drumstick to himself. No one could wrong him! We can't wrong our brother Yuanzheng, so we can only...
Anyway, Gong Yaozheng’s bowl of water is unfair!
Gong Shangjiao looked at his bowl of chicken soup with more meat and less soup. Before he could get excited, he saw the chicken head under the piece of chicken...
Gong Shangjiao: "..."
Gong Yuanzheng's shoulders were trembling, and he was holding on to Gong Yuanzheng beside him, struggling to hold back his laughter.
Gong Yuanzheng looked at Gong Shangjiao's expression as cold as October frost, and suppressed the raised corners of his lips.
He patted Gong Yaozheng, who was hiding his head behind him and laughing, saying that your smile was too obvious, so be restrained.
Gong Yaozheng raised his head and glanced at Gong Shangjiao. He couldn't blame her. It was really funny to see the cracks on his usually serious face!
A lunch spent in laughter and laughter...
Gong Shangjiao felt that the crystal swing suddenly no longer wanted to be sent to Zheng Palace, and it would be good to stay in Jiao Palace. There happened to be a giant tree in the courtyard of Jiao Palace.
After thinking about it, I said it!
When Gong Yaozheng heard this, he was reluctant and immediately relented: "Second brother, good second brother, I was wrong!" He blinked his eyes, with a sincere look on his face, and held Gong Shangjiao's sleeves tightly with his hands.
"What's wrong?"
"The mistake is, hahaha, I shouldn't...shouldn't give it to you...let me put chicken heads in the bowl...hahaha...hahaha, I can't do it anymore, I don't want the crystal swing anymore, I'm going to have a laugh first!" Gong Yao Zheng couldn't mention it, she wanted to laugh whenever she mentioned the chicken head.
It's not that her smile point is low, it's that she saw the comparison pictures on the Internet before and laughed so hard at that time. How can she hold it back now?
Under Gong Shangjiao's helpless expression, Gong Yaozheng retreated gracefully.
Gong Yuanzheng looked at Gong Shangjiao: "Brother, that swing?"
"Take it away!"
…
