Gu Xunzhi turned pale with shock.

Although the letter he just received had clearly stated that the senior brother was coming, but in his prediction, the South China Sea was thousands of miles away, and it would take another month for the senior brother to come.Unexpectedly, he arrived with Xin.

But if you think about it a little bit, you can understand what's going on: the paper bird is weak and weak, even with the blessing of the brother's aura, it won't fly too fast.So although the brother left late, he arrived early.

Thinking of the senior brother waiting outside at this moment, Gu Xunzhi inevitably panicked, stood up and looked around, he didn't know where to put his hands, and took two more medicines in a bewilderment, and felt a little calm. explain:

"Invite him in!"

Xiaocui responded to the sound and wanted to go, but Gu Xunzhi stopped her again:

"No, I'll go myself."

Xiaocui had never seen Gu Xunzhi so flustered and nervous, and looked at him inexplicably.Just now, she looked at the man outside, who was much younger than Master Gu. How could he be Master Gu's senior brother?

She took a step back and watched Gu Xunzhi rush towards the door with rare agility. Before he reached the door, he turned around again, rushed to the mirror to wipe his hair, and straightened his collar.She also turned her head and asked Xiao Cui:

"How do I look?"

Xiaocui couldn't help laughing:

"You look in great spirits."

Gu Xunzhi frowned, not really believing Xiao Cui's words.He wasn't very satisfied with his appearance, but the aging that was revealed from the inside out couldn't be solved by simply smoothing his hair and tidying his collar. Besides, the senior brother had been waiting outside for a long time, so he shouldn't let him waited.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down again, then walked out of the room and looked up.

The gate of the courtyard was open, and Ren Xun was standing at the entrance of the courtyard. He still had the unrestrained and elegant appearance in Gu Xunzhi's impression. He clearly just came back from the South China Sea, but he didn't have any dusty aura on him. Behind him were two... …Duck?

Ordinarily, one should not notice any ducks at such a critical moment of meeting with seniors, but those two ducks, one white and the other hemp, followed closely behind Ren Xun, raised their heads and chests up and looked ahead, they really had a sense of presence , Gu Xunzhi couldn't help but pay attention.

Ren Zhen followed Gu Xunzhi's line of sight, glanced at the two ducks, and said:

"Oh, this is a little demon I just picked up in the South China Sea. It's a long story, so let's talk about it later."

The two ducks quacked a few times and looked up at Ren Sha.Gu Xunzhi looked at them carefully again, and then found a little bit of evil spirit from them.This matter seemed a bit weird, but Gu Xunzhi didn't say anything, just nodded and let Ren Xun into the room.Xiaocui had already boiled hot water, and when she saw the guests coming in, she quickly served tea.

Ren Zhen glanced at Xiaocui, then turned to Gu Xunzhi:

"Is this the beauty that the prince gave you?"

Ren Xun's tone was very calm, and she couldn't hear any anger, as if she was just asking casually.Gu Xunzhi thought of the letter he wrote to his senior brother before saying that the prince gave him a beauty, and he secretly screamed in his heart.

At that time, he felt uncomfortable, and writing this was actually more or less angry with his senior brother. Now that his senior brother saw Xiaocui, he must have misunderstood.But it was troublesome to explain this matter, the more he talked about it, the more chaotic it became, and it might expose his true thoughts, so Gu Xunzhi could only bite the bullet and straighten his back, nodding his head and saying:

"Yes, it's her."

Ren Zhen looked her up and down twice, showing a thoughtful expression.

Xiao Cui was standing by the side, she had been staring at Ren Xun with good eyes just now, she was a country girl, she had no experience, after arriving at the palace, it was even rarer to see any young man, except for seeing the prince once when she first came to the palace Other than that, what I usually see are servants, how can I compare with Ren Sha.Now when she saw Ren Sha look up at her, her expression visibly became tense, her cheeks were flushed, and something was going on in her mind.

At this moment, the three of them looked at each other, but no one spoke, and a subtle awkwardness filled the room.

Xiaocui is young and naive, she only cares about being shy, and doesn't notice anything else. Ren Xun doesn't deal with people all the year round, let alone the atmosphere, but Gu Xunzhi feels that he can't bear it anymore, so he raised his head and told Xiaocui:

"Xiao Cui, my senior brother and I have something to talk about, you go down first."

Xiaocui's mood was all written on her face. After hearing this, her eyebrows and the corners of her mouth drooped, and she answered slowly, but she refused to leave immediately. Bu even looked back reluctantly.Like her, it is estimated that she will not be able to leave the house in another half an hour. Seeing this, Gu Xunzhi could only sigh, and took out five coins from his bosom:

"Here, take it and spend it."

Xiaocui's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and she snatched the broken silver, as if afraid of Gu Xunzhi's repentance, she ran away in a hurry.

Gu Xunzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, came back and sat opposite Ren Zhen, and smiled wryly at Ren Zhen:

"Brother, I don't need to explain this situation to you, do I?"

Seeing what happened just now, Ren Xun raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.He gestured with his eyes, and the two ducks that were lying obediently by his feet just now also waddled out of the room, and there were only the two of them left here.

When Gu Xunzhi saw him smiling, he felt more at ease, and dared to look up into his eyes.

It was clear that the two had just met each other a few months ago, but this time they saw each other again as if they had been apart for a long time.Senior brother's appearance is still the same, even though he traveled a long distance, he is still radiant and spotless.Gu Xunzhi felt that the senior brother was really shining with golden light, which made his eyes sour, so he had to stretch out a hand to rub it.

While Gu Xunzhi was rubbing his eyes, Ren Zhen took his other hand.

Senior brother's palms are broad and powerful, with deep palm lines, but there are no calluses.

Gu Xunzhi froze.

From the age of eleven or twelve, the senior brother never held his hand again.Why now...

Although Gu Xunzhi was old, he thought too much, and his mouth became dry in an instant.

He was still wiping his eyes with the other hand, not knowing whether to put it down.

Ren Xun's movements were faster than Gu Xunzhi's. Before Gu Xunzhi could let go of his hand, he felt that his senior brother had put something on his wrist.

Um? .

Gu Xunzhi wiped his eyes again, and when he opened it, he saw that the senior brother had put a bracelet on his hand.

Gu Xunzhi's life in the palace is not short, whether it is the treasures bestowed by the emperor, or the rare treasures given by the servants to please the prince, he has seen many.It can be considered well-informed.But he had never seen the bracelet his senior brother put on him at this moment.

The brilliance on the bracelet was so bright that it almost lit up the whole room, making Gu Xunzhi's eyes hurt again. He took a closer look and saw that the bracelet was made of twelve smooth and round pearls. One of them is the largest like a longan, and there are two smaller ones on both sides of the big bead, and the other nine are even smaller, all of average size and excellent in color.Such a string of beads, even if it is just an ordinary pearl, can be used as a treasure for advancement, but Gu Xunzhi understands that his senior brother brought this string of beads specially because of its precious value.Reminiscing that the senior brother just came back from the South China Sea, could it be...

Gu Xunzhi had some guesses in his mind, but felt it was impossible.He was hesitating, but he saw his senior brother looking at his arm, frowning and saying:

"You lost weight again?"

After hearing what his senior brother said, Gu Xun subconsciously lowered his head and squeezed his wrist.

His wrists were skinny and skinny, if he had to say it, these days he took the tonic that his senior brother gave him as a meal, and it seemed that he had grown a little more flesh, and he looked less scary than before.Now that he put on that gorgeous bracelet, he felt that it didn't suit him, and his complexion was also dull, so he reached out and tried to take it off.

The senior brother quickly stopped:

"This is the Pearl of the Southern Sea. It is the best way to warm and nourish the meridians. It would be a pity if it was put away casually."

Gu Xunzhi's heart was shocked when he heard his senior brother say Nanming Pearl.

Although he had never seen Nanming Zhu before, he had read about it in books.Know that it is an extremely rare treasure.Just now he had also vaguely guessed whether this wrist bracelet was the Nanming Pearl, but because it was too precious after all, he always thought it was impossible, and unexpectedly, the senior brother got a bunch of twelve pieces in just a few months.

Gu Xunzhi looked up at his brother again. He looked fine and was not injured at all.He always knew that his senior brother was very powerful, but he didn't know that his senior brother was so powerful.Gu Xunzhi had studied Master's Taoism before and knew that it was quite unique, but in his opinion, even Master himself would not be able to travel back and forth to the South China Sea for several months and bring back such a precious orb.

He looked up at his senior brother again, wondering why:

"Brother, such a precious thing..."

Ren Sha shook her head:

"Whether it is expensive or not is not for sale."

Ren Xun's words made Gu Xunzhi's heart warm, but he knew very well that the senior brother was just used to taking care of him, and the senior brother's concern for him...has no other meaning.

Gu Xunzhi sighed a long time in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just smiled and nodded and said:

"If that's the case, I'll take it."

Ren Zhen looked at the bracelet, then at him, as if there was nothing else to do, he stood up, and said to Gu Xunzhi before leaving:

"Although Liang Yuan is good, it is not the home of long-term love. The glitz and glitz in the world turn to dust in a blink of an eye. It is not too late for you to follow me back to the mountain."

Gu Xunzhi pursed his lips, it seemed that only by doing so could he resist his urge to agree to the matter. After a while, he said:

"My lord is kind to me, I can't abandon him."

Something flashed across Ren Sha's face, it seemed to be disappointment.He was about to leave, but Gu Xunzhi stood by the table, staring blankly at his figure, unable to speak to persuade him to stay.At this moment, the two suddenly heard a young man's voice from outside the courtyard:

"Are you Mr. Gu's senior brother?"
