What should I do if my junior brother becomes a bad old man?

Gu Xunzhi looked out and saw Prince Jin standing at the door, smiling and facing Ren Sha.

Gu Xun was stunned: why is he here?

In all fairness, the most important reason why Gu Xunzhi didn't keep Ren Xun was because he was worried that the prince would come to Luozhao.He knew that his senior brother was not interested in dealing with people like the lord, and he would not want to get involved in his plan to catch the dragon, so he didn't mention the lord's affairs to his senior brother at all. He didn't expect the news of the lord to be so well-informed. After a while, he already knew.

Now that the hatchbacks were facing each other, Gu Xunzhi could no longer evade the prince, so he had to go forward to salute the prince, and then introduced the two of them:

"My lord, this is indeed my senior brother, Ren Xun."

"Brother, this is Prince Jin."

Ren Zhen didn't salute, but just nodded to King Jin as a compliment.The prince didn't think it was disobedient, and said with a smile:

"I've heard from Mr. Gu that he has a senior brother. Seeing him today, he is really extraordinary. I usually admire a capable person like you the most. You must stay here for a few more days."

Ren Zhen came here just to give the Nanming Pearl to his junior brother, and originally planned to leave after giving it away, so he was not interested in chatting with this person, so he just shook his head:

"Still not."

King Jin's temper is not very good, he is the brother of the current emperor, no one would dare to talk to him like that.If the situation were changed, King Jin would definitely get angry, but at this time he had something to ask for, and he couldn't easily get angry, so he put on a look of indifference, just smiled tolerantly, and said:

"If Mr. Ren has no important business, why not just stay for a few days? If you are afraid of being restrained in the palace, you can live in Mr. Gu's yard, and it will be convenient for you brothers and sisters to catch up with each other. My king often hears Mr. Gu say that he treats you But I miss it so much.”

The King of Jin always called Gu Xunzhi Mr. Ren Xun, but he called him "Young Master".On the one hand, because Ren Zhen was not an aide in his mansion, and on the other hand, although Ren Zhen was dressed plainly, he had a rare bearing in his gestures. King Jin guessed that he had an extraordinary background, and he looked young, so he called him this way.

Ren Sha was a little moved when he heard this, and turned to look at Gu Xunzhi.In fact, Gu Xunzhi never expressed his miss for his brother in front of King Jin, but what King Jin said was right, he couldn't deny it.What's more, King Jin was watching, so he couldn't show any objection, so he could only smile at Ren Zhen.

King Jin had never met Ren Zhen before, and he hadn't heard Mr. Gu mention a few times about his senior brother, but now he saw the string of rare pearls on Mr. Gu's hand, and he could more or less feel it. This Ren Sha was full of concern for his junior.At this moment, seeing that Ren Xun's attitude was slightly relaxed, he continued to add fuel and vinegar:

"However, Mr. Gu, since you have been here, you are leaving in a blink of an eye. Don't you want to make Mr. Gu feel sad?"

The speaker had no intention, but Gu Xunzhi was poked into his heart.He has been in the palace for a long time, and he has already cultivated an iron face. He is lucky enough to be able to hide his blushing, but he has shown some demeanor. Ren Sha Huiyan can find out.Seeing him like this, Ren Zhen finally changed his words:

"In this case, I have the right to stay for a few more days."

King Jin clapped his hands and said:

"That's very good. After a while, the king will ask someone to bring food and wine to the two of you to celebrate your reunion. We will hold a banquet in the mansion tomorrow to entertain the virtuous Kunzhong. Please appreciate it."

Ren Zhen was impatient with the courteousness of King Jin, so Gu Xun stepped forward with a smile on his face, saying that he must be sure, and then sent King Jin away.

After King Jin left, Gu Xunzhi immediately changed his expression, and sighed to Ren Zhen:

"The prince insists on keeping you, but he just wants you to do things for him. If you leave, he has nothing to say. Now if you stay, how can you shirk it?"

Ren Sha didn't care:

"You told me before that he wanted to tie the dragon on purpose? Although I don't like to meddle in such nosy things, but since I happened to meet him at this time, this matter should have something to do with me, so it's okay to go and see. But I look at the look on his face, and I'm afraid that the things he has planned in his heart will end up in vain."

Gu Xunzhi knew that his brother had always had the skill of matching people, and he might have seen something from King Jin's face, but this is not the place to say such words, so Gu Xunzhi quickly stepped forward to cover his mouth:

"Walls have ears, brother, don't say any more."

Seeing Gu Xunzhi's terrified appearance, Ren Xun felt a little disappointed.

What did his junior brother go through all these years to become such a cowardly appearance?Speaking of him, he was picked by his master to practice on the mountain when he was young. He had a bright future, but he sneaked out of the mountain by himself and never came back.Ren Zhennao couldn't understand what was going on in his head, so he could only sigh in his heart: After all, he was born as a mortal, and he couldn't get rid of the intrusion of the world of mortals.

He reached out to Ge Gu Xunzhi's hand, only to see Xiaocui just returning, and gave them a weird look.Only then did Gu Xunzhi realize that his action of covering Ren Sha's mouth was inappropriate, so he quickly let go.Clearing his throat twice, he asked her majesticly:

"Where did you play just now?"

"I didn't go anywhere, I just bought a bunch of candied haws at the door." Xiaocui said, showing him the half-eaten candied haws.

"Have you seen the prince?"

"See you!" Xiaocui nodded, "My lord asked me why I escaped and came out to eat snacks. I said that Gu Ye's senior brother arrived and didn't ask me to stay in the house, so I came out."

Gu Xunzhi smiled wryly, it turned out that the news was leaked like this.

This child Xiao Cui is not very clever, she was bought by the prince, and of course she knows everything when the prince asks her.Gu Xunzhi understood this and did not intend to blame her.It's getting late now, and it's not easy to send her away, so Gu Xunzhi had no choice but to say to her:

"My lord will send someone to bring wine and food in a while, you go to the gate of the courtyard to have a look."

Hearing what he said, Xiaocui knew that there would be something delicious to eat in the evening, so she happily took the candied haws to the door.Gu Xunzhi watched her go out, and then said to Ren Sha carefully:

"Senior brother is from a foreign country, so it's not uncommon to make troubles. This is the capital city, at the foot of the emperor, next door to the palace, there are always a lot of unspeakable things. I know that senior brother is naturally fearless, but if you really want to be caught What's the handle, it's still troublesome after all."

His voice was very soft, and he told the whole story carefully, as if he was afraid that he would be unhappy.Ren Xun was indeed a little impatient, but seeing Gu Xunzhi's earnest appearance, he knew that he cared about these things very much, so he impatiently stood and listened with a sullen face.

Suddenly they heard a scream from outside, and the two looked out together, it seemed that Xiaocui provoked the duck brought by Ren Sha, and was pinched by flat mouth.

Ren Sha frowned:

"Bai Lian Ju Shi, come in, don't mess around with that little girl."

The two ducks called twice and came back from the gate of the courtyard.Gu Xunzhi looked at it curiously, and Ren Zhen showed a bored look:

"The two of them swore at the beginning that they could transform into shapes, so I brought them with them. I didn't expect that they would only turn into ducks, which is very cumbersome. I might as well leave it here with you. If you think it's troublesome, you can kill it with one knife, or make two roast ducks."

The two ducks became impatient when they heard this, and flapped their wings vigorously, but they didn't dare to treat Ren Xiao like they did to Xiaocui, and could only quack around him.

Seeing this, Gu Xunzhi smiled and said:

"Brother is staying with me for the past two days, let Xiaocui take care of it for the time being, and when the brother is about to go back, wouldn't it be good to put the two of them in the cold pool in the back mountain?"

Ren Sha is not interested in this topic:

"Just do as you say."

The two ducks didn't dare to call again as if they were pardoned, and quietly hid in a place where Ren Sha could not see.

Gu Xunzhi laughed dryly again, and said nothing else.Ren Sha also kept her mouth shut and said nothing, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Speaking of which, the two senior brothers often miss each other when they don't meet each other, but when they do meet, they don't know what to say.The two hadn't seen each other for many years, and the last time they had a hasty and unpleasant conversation, they stood facing each other at this moment, unable to speak a word.Although Gu Xunzhi was full of words in his heart, he didn't even dare to write those thoughts in a letter, let alone talk to his senior brother face to face.

Ren Sha didn't feel anything, but Gu Xunzhi was too embarrassed.After searching all my brains, I couldn't think of a topic that the two brothers and sisters could talk about easily.

Fortunately, at this time, the person who delivered the wine and food arrived.

The person who delivered the food and wine was not someone from the palace, it seemed that the prince asked someone to order food in Xinghualou and asked them to deliver it.People from Xinghualou brought a four-layer square food box, which contained chicken and fish, two hot dishes, and four cold dishes with wine.It can be called rich.Although Ren Xun said that she usually doesn't eat mortal food, but now that she's in the secular world, she doesn't have any taboos.

So the two sat down at the table together, it was already dark at this time, Xiaocui lit the lamp, and helped them arrange the dishes.Gu Xunzhi said that there were too many dishes to eat, so he pulled half a chicken, picked up some more vegetables, and asked Xiaocui to go out and find some other little maid to eat together, leaving only the two brothers and sisters here.

Gu Xunzhi first poured wine for his senior brother, and then filled it up for himself. The two senior brothers raised their glasses and drank together.

The wine is good wine. Xinghualou's famous apricot blossom brew has a slightly sweet taste and a slightly floral fragrance, but it is so strong that people will get drunk without knowing it.After three rounds of drinking, Gu Xunzhi's face was slightly red, his muscles and bones were numb, and his mind was floating. He looked at Ren Sha with drunken eyes, but saw that Ren Sha's face did not change at all, and he sat firmly, steadfastly. move.The demeanor is so beautiful that it is enviable.

Senior brother is better than him in everything, even he can't match his drinking capacity.

Gu Xunzhi has always had no jealousy towards his senior brother, only admiration.At the beginning, he only thought that he would practice together with his senior brother forever in the mountains, not caring about worldly affairs, but later he had a strange thought in his heart, and he didn't dare to stay in front of his senior brother anymore, so he had to flee down the mountain like a thief.After going through all kinds of hardships, by chance, he became a staff member of the palace.The money he gets every month is not small, and he has a small courtyard by himself, and he often associates with high-ranking officials and nobles. From the eyes of ordinary people, he is already quite respectable, enough to be proud of.A few years ago, when Gu Xunzhi measured himself by the standards of the world, he occasionally felt satisfied.

But at this time, he was sitting in front of Ren Xun, although they still referred to each other as brothers and sisters, there was already a difference between them.At this moment, the word "decent" suddenly becomes funny.

Gu Xunzhi's heart was shaken, and he remembered what he hadn't said clearly back then.

Today's timing was just right, he was drunk, and he said it out of alcohol, it was considered as an end to his heart, and in the morning of the next day, what he said could be regarded as drunken words.Gu Xunzhi is so cautious. Before doing anything, he always thinks about seven or eight escape routes for himself. He pondered it several times with his brain soaked in wine, and he felt that nothing would go wrong, so he opened his mouth tremblingly. :

"Brother..."
