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

When Ren Xun went to the mirage palace, Gu Xunzhi still stayed in the residence next to the palace, staring at the new maid, Xiaocui.

Recently, the prince is busy with dragon affairs, so he is not needed.He didn't go to the prince's place to show his face. He just went to the study in the palace every day to inquire about the recent affairs inside and outside the palace with other staff members. That courtyard.For many years, his life has been like this.

However, he is used to being alone, now that there is one more person in the small courtyard, everything seems not as easy and free as before.Besides, when his colleagues heard that the prince sent him a beautiful maid, they all liked to make fun of him.The trouble made him not even want to go to the palace much.Really added a lot of inconvenience.

Just as he expected, Xiaocui is indeed not a child of the palace.From what she said, it seems that there is a shortage of rough envoys in the palace. The chief steward called Ren Yazi. When picking someone, the chief steward didn't choose her, but the prince happened to pass by, so he picked her because she was so tall. Well done, I paid an extra ten taels of silver.

She was abducted by kidnappers since she was a child, and it took several hands before she was sold to the palace.She is a lonely and helpless girl who doesn't even know where her family is, so being sold to the palace can even be called a kind of luck.

If she was originally from the palace, he could still tell the prince to transfer her back to the palace.But since she was bought by the prince on a whim, the prince's mansion might not have a suitable place to house her, and maybe someone will take her away and sell her.Gu Xunzhi felt that she was pitiful, and he couldn't bear to drive her away, so he thought he should deal with it like this.After a few years, if the palace is short of people again, he can tell the prince to transfer her into the palace.

Who knows that Xiaocui is not as honest as she was when they first met, probably she also understands her situation, and understands that if she can't stay, she might not be sold somewhere.Recently, she often went to and from the palace, and gradually became acquainted with the maids there. She saw that Gu Xunzhi didn't look very old, and he was very kind, so she started to show his kindness to him.

Fortunately, this Xiaocui had no knowledge, was timid, and didn't dare to do anything. She could only stand aside and wink at him while she was waiting for him to wash his face and eat.This kid has never learned this before, he is about the same size as the wild fox in Bikong Mountain whose tail has not been hidden, his two faces are painted red, his eyelids are about to cramp, and he is called "Mr. Gu" coquettishly.

Gu Xunzhi wanted to laugh, but he couldn't bear it.

He still remembered that he had seen the wild vixen and the wild kite in the mountains turned into people to seduce his senior brother, and they generally dressed up like this, but every time he was pulled by the tail and thrown out by the senior brother.At that time, he was young and didn't understand, so he foolishly asked his brother why they came here, and his brother always told him very seriously that they dressed up like this to steal his treasure.But they are not bad fairies, so don't hurt their lives if you encounter them, just throw them out.

At that time, he asked foolishly, where is the brother's treasure, and if he can show it to him.The senior brother thought for a while and said, in fact, it’s nothing special, everyone has it, it’s not as interesting as the new plums on the plum tree in the back mountain.As soon as he heard about Meizi, he was so greedy that he salivated, so he asked his senior brother to accompany him to find Meizi, forgetting about his senior brother's treasure.

Thinking about it now, what a shameful conversation.

He looked up at Xiao Cui.The senior brother said at the beginning that if you encounter such a fairy, you can just throw it out by the tail, but where is Xiaocui's tail?

Gu Xunzhi shook his head with a wry smile, took a piece of letterhead that his senior brother gave him, and started writing the letter.

He originally wanted to write about the plums in the back mountain and the treasures of his senior brother, and asked his senior brother if he still remembered, and he also wanted to ask his senior brother if there are any wild fox spirits and kite spirits disguised as women to come to the cave to look for him, and wanted to tell his senior brother that now he is by his side. Being forced into a wild kite spirit without a tail, I don't know what to do... Apart from these, the most important thing is to tell the brother that he really misses him now.

But the taste of the words changed when they fell on paper. During the past ten years in the palace, Gu Xunzhi has written thousands of letters to the prince. The solemn letters are all from his hand, and there is never any sincerity in them.As time passed, he didn't know how to write a sincere letter.

He can only write: He is doing well, everything is fine, brother don't need to worry about it.

He did it in one go, and he didn't realize it was wrong until he signed his name.He was hesitating whether to tear up the letter paper and write a new one, but the letter paper was quite spiritual, and if he didn't pay attention, the letter paper folded into a paper bird and flew out of the window.Gu Xunzhi was anxious, and quickly reached out to catch it, not wanting to slip and lose his waist.

At his current age, hurting his back is no joke.

Although the senior brother gave him a lot of medicines, they didn't specialize in treating back injuries. He also lay on the bed for several days, and Xiao Cui even asked Xiaocui to bring him food by the bedside.He really didn't know what to do if Xiaocui wasn't there at this moment.Good and bad depend on each other, Gu Xunzhi doesn't know how to evaluate it.But now that the letter has been sent, we can only wait for a reply.

However, the response he was expecting never came.

Gu Xunzhi lay on the bed, waiting eagerly.He has already calculated the speed of the paper bird and the distance between Bikong Mountain and the capital several times, and then counted the time when the senior brother was busy collecting medicine or making alchemy and couldn't answer the letter, thinking about how to write the letter, and being delayed by some visitor... …He thought about everything he could think of, and decided that no matter what, the reply should arrive.He looked out of the window every day, and specially reminded Xiaocui to be careful not to throw away the letter paper folded into a paper bird when sweeping the floor, but the reply letter he wanted still did not come, which made him feel extremely disappointed.

In fact, when Gu Xunzhi was upset, the paper bird that was folded from that letter hadn't actually reached the South China Sea yet.He made thousands of calculations, but he failed to calculate that his senior brother had already left Bikong Mountain.He can only look forward to it day after day.

His back injury is getting better gradually, and he can occasionally walk on the ground, but he still suffers from pain from time to time.Gu Xunzhi didn't think it was particularly bad. Occasionally a little pain could make him feel alive, reminding him that he was not just a walking dead.For a long time, he had always felt that he was actually dead long ago. He ate and slept every day, said some insincere words, and his heart gradually became cold.If he still had a trace of vitality, it was only when he was thinking about his senior brother. Every time he thought of his senior brother, he felt his chest burn.

When Gu Xunzhi was finally able to go to the Wangfu study by himself, it was already a month and a half later.His hair is a little whiter than before, and he has an extra stick in his hand. Although these changes are not very big, he looks old all of a sudden.Seeing this, the young colleagues secretly gathered together and laughed as they thought of the beautiful maid sent by the prince.He knew that no one would listen to his explanation, so he could only endure his shame and pretend that he didn't hear it.

The prince is very happy to see him, Qinglong has been in the mansion for half a month, and is being entertained by the prince every day.The current situation is that although there is Zui Mengxiang, the matter of binding the dragon still faces a technical problem-although the person the prince finds can block his nostrils and hold his breath, enter the room lit with Zui Mengxiang, and control himself not to sleep for a while However, no one can complete the task of locking the dragon with the dragon rope in this state.

Of course, the lord would not expect Mr. Gu, who seems powerless to tie a chicken, to tie a dragon, but his brother who kindly sponsored Zui Mengxiang, can he help out more?

Gu Xunzhi could only smile at the prince:

"I just contacted my brother a few days ago, but I haven't heard back yet. When I went back to the mountain, I heard that my brother said that I will go out soon, and I don't know when I will be back. If I can contact him, I will definitely invite him to help the prince. "

What Gu Xunzhi said was just a temporary excuse, but after he finished speaking, he also took it seriously, thinking that the senior brother might not reply to him in time because he was out of the house, he felt comforted in his heart.

It would be great if that was the case.

When the prince asked him, it seemed that he didn't have much expectation at first, and he didn't say anything else at this time, he just waved his hand:

"It's okay, I'll think of a way. But if Mr.'s brother comes back, he must be invited to sit in the palace."

Gu Xunzhi said "definitely", but he thought in his heart that his senior brother would definitely not come.

Fortunately, the prince didn't seem to have much hope for this, and he left in a hurry without saying anything else.Qinglong has been in the mansion recently, and the prince spends a lot of time with Qinglong every day to avoid more troubles.Now it seems that for a while, the situation can still be controlled.

Gu Xunzhi sent the prince away, and turned back to his small courtyard, but he did not expect that the reply letter from his senior brother would arrive as soon as he entered the house.

The author has something to say: Ahhh, I forgot to put the manuscript box, it’s a little late.
