After Mr. Wei and his book boy got tired of a bowl of soup and medicine for a long time, Gu Changli had almost finished eating the small plate of pastries.

When the master and servant turned around and Gu Changli, who was still holding a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, looked at each other, the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

Anyway, as far as Gu Changli was concerned, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him secretly poking and sweeping away the pastries that others put on the plate.Obviously he was the one who invited him to come up, but for the first half of the time, he just chatted non-stop with the boy and didn't pay any attention to him. The position in the eyes of the reader is even inferior to his servants.The other party doesn't treat him with the etiquette of hospitality, so why should he be pedantic and be a good guest.

"I don't know what this Mr. Wei invited me to do, but I hope to explain it clearly. Although the boy is only white, there are always things to be busy."

It may be that his dismounting did not achieve the goal he had imagined, that Mr. Wei was finally willing to condescend and set his eyes on him, Gu Changli was not hypocritical, and under the scrutinizing eyes of the other party After eating the pastry, he put it back on the plate, cupped his hands slightly, and said very politely.

The Mr. Wei, who has been pale and dying since he appeared, frowned slightly, as if thinking of something unpleasant, but he quickly stretched his brows, and stretched out a slender plain white With a slight wave of his hand, the little book boy quickly took out a very familiar package from the dark compartment of the wooden bed.

Gu Changli frowned, he was no stranger to this stuff, wasn't it the luggage of that unlucky boy Guan Yi?Only the rich family who said in his mouth that there is nothing left except money can raise a young master who carelessly holds a brocade embroidered with golden cloud patterns as a furoshiki, and does not know the sufferings of the world—— He deserved to be robbed when he met the kid.Just now when he came back, he didn’t see Guan Yi, and he wasn’t seen in the pile of luggage. He wondered if the boy couldn’t bear the humiliation, so he simply went to other places to settle down. Unexpectedly, he didn’t even have his luggage. They were all confiscated.Presumably, Guan Yi woke up from a rest and saw that he was no longer in the room, so he simply went out for a walk, but he didn't want to come back now.

"Do you know this package?"

Mr. Wei asked in a weak voice with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Yes, it belongs to a friend who happened to be traveling with me." Gu Changli replied.

Mr. Wei laughed lightly when he heard the words, but his face remained calm, "Do you know who the so-called friend you are talking about is exactly?"

"The two of us just met by chance. By chance, I saved his life. In addition, the journey was long and lonely, so I made a companion. He never harmed me along the way, and he did a lot of small favors (such as digging money), why should I get to the bottom of it, the scruples who talk to each other will not understand."

Facing the dark eyes of the person opposite, Gu Changli said these words very calmly.Originally, he didn't hold any ill intentions towards Guan Yi. With the boy's naive and stubborn temperament, if he hadn't met him, he might have caused much trouble.He has harmed many people along the way, but at least on this point, he has a clear conscience.

"Speak lightly and deeply? The young master's words are really incomparably transparent, but Huai'an was unreasonable before."

After hearing Gu Changli's words, Mr. Wei, who had been a bit superior and arrogant before, didn't know where he had made a mistake, and suddenly bowed deeply to him very politely, making a gesture of apology.

Gu Changli, who didn't know the situation, naturally didn't want to accept this unknown etiquette for no reason. The aristocratic family had a lot of twists and turns in their hearts. His tone was not as polite as before.

"If Mr. Wei only wanted to ask me this question, he has already fulfilled his wish. I will leave now."

This kind of communication where you ask a question and I take it apart, and you have to bury ten or eight traps in every sentence is really disgusting to Gu Changli who has been away from the upper class for some days. The heart of a politician who sees people talking about people and talking nonsense, for those who look down on him, he can just pretend to be a snake for a while, and he can't help the urge to do it any more.

"My lord, stay away—"

Seeing that Gu Changli really wanted to leave without hesitation, Mr. Wei didn't have the intention to be polite, so he immediately stated the purpose of his trip.

"The young man who walked with the young master is the son of my biological sister, that is, my nephew."

Hearing this news at first, Gu Zhangli felt a little puzzled.Guan Yi once told him about his background, but he was a family of merchants in a small city. He had never been an official in the court or had any great figures. Except for some spare money, he was not much different from ordinary people. When he said this, his eyes were clear and calm, and there was no sign of lying at all.But right now, this extraordinary Mr. Wei suddenly said that Guan Yi is his sister's son. If Guan Yi's acting skills were not comparable to the Oscar winner, there must be something secret in it.

The flash of astonishment in Gu Changli's eyes did not escape Mr. Wei's sight. His face was a little bitter, and he coughed again under the emotional involvement, which made the little book boy beside him sweat profusely.

"The twists and turns... I shouldn't be talking about it, after all, it's a big family scandal, but this matter is well known in Yiling, but it's not a secret, at least Many hostile families have used it to attack him many times——my sister, the eldest daughter of the Wei family, fled... with a merchant from another country on the eve of her wedding."

Gu Changli naturally knew that the so-called escape was just a slightly more beautified version of "elopement", so he naturally understood the embarrassment and dissatisfaction on Mr. Wei's expression at this time.After all, even in their era, it was considered too unruly for an engaged girl to run away with another man, let alone in this age where marriage mainly depends on parents. The Tianyuan Continent, where the ancient society was ordered by the matchmaker, also happened in the aristocratic family that valued fame and face above everything else. He could imagine the shocking farce scene at that time.

"This incident caused a lot of trouble in the city at the time. My mother fell ill in bed all of a sudden, and my father even raised a promise to remove my sister from the family tree, as if there would be no such daughter from now on."

In Mr. Wei's methodical narration, Gu Changli probably understood the past events back then, and had even guessed about Guan Yi's identity when he mentioned "merchant from another country".

Seeing the clear expression on Gu Changli's face, Mr. Wei let out a long sigh of relief, and continued, "Mr. Gu is such a smart person, he should understand what happened next. My sister followed the businessman When he came to live in Dayan, the businessman still had some conscience, he insisted on violating the rule of 'running away as a concubine' [a woman who elopes can only be a concubine], helped her to be a regular wife, and did not remarry. I don't know why Why, the husband and wife have been married for many years, but their population is not prosperous, they only have one child, which is my nephew, Guan Yi."

"They naturally take this only child very seriously, and they are afraid that they will stumble, but the child will naturally become wild when he grows up. Not long ago, he only left a letter saying that he was going to go out to find immortals, but he disappeared. The husband and wife were in a hurry. After searching to no avail, the elder sister could only find the main branch of the Wei family who had not communicated with him for more than ten years. The owner of every family, that is, my father, will not hesitate to pay any price to find out the whereabouts of the child for her."

"After all, he is a close relative whose blood is thicker than water. The anger of the past has passed, and the parents are still willing to criticize my sister. They are also very concerned about the whereabouts of their grandson. They have sent many people to search for them, but there are still not many. Harvest. Unexpectedly, I did not take on this task and traveled to Qingyan Town, but I saw what my sister said, the rucksack wrapped in the gold thread embroidered brocade specially made by their villa, which is very rare. It was a pleasant surprise. The previous disrespectful attitude towards the young master was only due to a misunderstanding that the young master was the culprit who abducted my nephew and ran away from home. Please bear with me if I behaved like Meng Lang."

Gu Zhang, who probably understood the cause and effect, still had doubts in his heart, "If this is the case, just meet Guan Yi, explain the matter clearly to him, and recognize this relative. Why do you have to meet me?"

Now that the words have reached this point, Mr. Wei doesn't care to make it clearer.

"The main reason is that my sister said that my little nephew was spoiled and grew up with a stubborn temper. If I talk to him condescendingly, I seldom listen to him. Now that he has entered Qingyan Town and has the opportunity to find immortals, I will not insist on tying him back, but I hope that a few words of lessons can make him understand a little bit. Mr. Gu and Guan Yi have traveled all the way, and they have become friends more or less. If you can help me say something together A few words may get twice the result with half the effort."

--------------

Until Gu Changli left, the elegantly decorated room became silent again.After a while, there was another intermittent coughing sound, which came from Mr. Wei who was staring at him in deep thought, as if he was thinking about something.

"Young master...you..."

"Snapped--"

The little book boy's concerned greeting and the crisp slap sounded almost at the same time, and the little boy with a large bruise on his right cheek knelt down with tears in his eyes, kowtowing uncontrollably.

"Siqi shouldn't disturb the young master when he is thinking, the crime deserves death, the young master forgives the son, the son forgives the sin..."

Yun Danfeng slapped the little book boy who had shown deep affection in front of Gu Changli before, Mr. Wei wiped his fingers carefully with a piece of fine white silk, and then He threw the white silk on the ground very casually, and said, "I will ask Yan Xianzhang for punishment after I go back."

The little book boy's face turned pale immediately, no less than the white paper. He raised his head in a panic and wanted to say something more, but he only felt a pain in the back of his neck, and he didn't know anything after the world spun.

"Drag him down."

Mr. Wei was not surprised that a silent figure suddenly appeared in the room that was originally empty except for their master and servant. He waved his hand in disgust, and the man in black took the little The book boy quickly disappeared.

Just a little bit of gentleness shows signs of arrogance. Such a stupid attendant doesn't know how he was selected in the first place.

Inadvertently flashed in his mind that he had stayed in this room for a while, and finally replied to his invitation lightly, "Small in stature and strength, it is difficult to be a big responsibility." Rejecting, a child who has a very clear mind at a young age, his eyes Time fades away.

"Gu... Changli, what a good name."

---------------

The other side rejected the request of the eccentric Mr. Wei, and politely declined Gu Changli who stayed in the Qingyan Inn again. He planned to go to the town to find a townsman who had a spare room to live with for a while. Don't jump up and down on his shoulders, just want to know what he talked about with that Mr. Wei.

Originally, Gu Changli was surprised when he saw Hu Liguo honestly guarding his luggage when he went out, thinking that this disobedient Qingqiu fox finally looked like a qualified partner, but seeing his current look The performance of a child no more than three years old at most gave him a sense of superiority in IQ.

Gu Changli was really troubled and couldn't help it, so he could only use his voice as thin as a mosquito to tell the whole bunch of shit that Mr. Wei told him and Hu Li about it again.

Probably knowing what Huli would want to ask him because of his temperament, Gu Changli quickly continued to explain why he rejected the invitation that seemed to be a simple effort on the surface.

"What Mr. Wei said seems to have no flaws at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, there are always flaws. For example, with the strict guards of an aristocratic family, how could an ordinary woman escape so easily, and since Knowing that the target of elopement is a merchant from another country, it should be very easy to stop them on the road, but they are indifferent to it. It seems that they have given up on the appearance of this daughter, but they can see each other for more than ten years without any emotional connection. For the sake of my daughter, I tried my best to find their nephew..."

"Although such a situation may happen, I think it is unlikely to happen in a family whose servants think they are superior, and emptied the entire floor for the so-called 'not living on the first floor with suspicious low-level people'. Such a family must be very concerned about their own glory and aura, and will they really care so much about a daughter who has lost face to the whole family, and can even be said to tie them to a pillar of shame?"

"There are too many doubts and the situation is unclear, why should I go to this muddy water?"

Thinking of that stupid young man who secretly followed him all the way and saved his life and kept calling himself "Master", Gu Changli sighed softly, "Probably all I can do is to remind Guan Yi when I see him." A few words, let's see his good fortune."

God knows what kind of invisible ideas that Mr. Wei, who looks weak and harmless but actually doesn't know what kind of face is behind his back, has any invisible ideas. Which one of these top family's secret activities has come to the fore.

Gu Changli, whose mind was heavy again, hadn't gone far from the inn when he saw a young man with bandages and arms dangling coming from the intersection in front of him. After a few glances, Gu Changli knocked on his hand

——Isn't this Ye Tian who was beaten away by the servants of the Wei family?
