In any case, Shen Yi was the leader of a region. Only Gu Yun could get along with him casually. They had a deep friendship after exchanging a few words. Others couldn't treat him as an outsider and had to treat him as a guest. Since Gu Yun didn't care about the matter, Changgeng personally went to explain it to his family.
Shen Yi was tense from the moment he entered the Marquis fu's door. At this moment, he fidgeted for a moment and carefully glanced at Yan Wang's tall and slender back. He moved closer to Gu Yun and asked, "Did you make a move?"
"…" Gu Yun was at a loss for words. He hesitated for a moment and answered perfunctorily, "En."
Shen Yi's entire body felt unwell. He finally understood why Gu Yun had been so evasive on the way here. For a moment, he felt shocked, but for a moment, he felt helpless. "You, you, you …" For a long time, he was at a loss for words.
It was inconvenient for Gu Yun to say more. Like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, he sat at the side, opened the oiled paper bag, and pinched out the salted crispy fish to eat.
Shen Yi knew that he was a little simple-minded, but he didn't expect him to be so simple-minded. His meddlesome heart of a housekeeper surged up and down. He said bitterly and hatefully, "You … how can you … be happy for a moment? What will you do in the future, huh? Continue to mingle around like this? What's going on! You're so powerful that no one dares to interfere. What about Yan Wang? Will the Emperor agree? What if there's an unforeseen event in the future? How can we part on good terms? All these years of friendship are gone! You … What can I say to you, Gu Zi Xi? You're simply a beast! "
Gu Yun smacked the salt and pepper on the corner of his mouth. The word "beast" hit him on the head. He felt so wronged that he wanted to die. He could only sit at the side mysteriously and didn't explain.
Shen Yi's words were obvious nonsense. Gu Yun had naturally thought about it.
If it was just that he couldn't control himself, then it wasn't that he couldn't control himself. He could just restrain himself. The world was complicated. If he couldn't restrain others, why couldn't he restrain himself?
If the feelings were unforgettable and engraved in his heart, he could simply find a brick and knock it against his head, causing his sea of consciousness to crash. His grandfather, his mother, his ancestors, his own surname, anyone could be wiped clean, let alone his feelings?
However, that was not the case …
It just so happened that Changgeng had the Wu 'er's bone on him since he was young, so he couldn't let go of him no matter what. Who knew that this matter seemed to be a little self-defeating. Not only did he fail to appease Changgeng, but it also seemed to make things worse. To this day, Gu Yun didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to take that step.
It's just that there's no way to tell others about the dangers, entanglements, and melancholy.
Gu Yun's countenance was not surprised as she said, "In the future when I take back Jiangnan, I will take him with me. I don't care what other people say. As long as I'm alive, I will protect him. "
He said it so easily, but Shen Yi was so angry that he panted for a while on the side and rolled his eyes at Gu Yun. Gu Yun held a small crispy yellow croaker in her mouth. After thinking for a while, she broke off half of it and gave Shen Yi. She said to him, "In a while, hurry up and eat. After you're done, hurry up and leave. Don't you see that the Grand Council is so busy all day long? Grow some eyesight. "
Shen Yi almost choked to death on the fish, which made him so angry that he fell backwards. He lowered his voice and said angrily, "I came all the way here to worry about you, yet you treat me with this face of forgetting righteousness for the sake of sex. Zi Xi, you finally understand what it means to see a person's heart with time."
Gu Yun was speechless.
There were a bunch of hot-blooded men in the army. Some of them were from the Hanlin Academy and were able to enter the Emperor's Hall, while others were ordinary martial artists who didn't know a single word before they joined the army. They all had different tastes and joked with each other without restraint. In private, they often said some dirty things that couldn't be shown in public. Some of the originally normal things, when they were made up, could also lead to countless wretched associations.
Gu Yun said, "How can you be so vulgar?"
Shen Yi was stunned at first. He carefully recalled his last unintentional sentence and reacted. He was sure that Gu Yun was incurable and roared, "You're the vulgar one!"
Changgeng was originally talking to Uncle Wang at the door. When he heard the roar from inside, he inexplicably turned around to look at General Shen who was shouting again and instructed, "Do you still have the loquat cream that was sent from the palace last time? Bring a bowl for General Shen later. I'm afraid that he'll hurt his throat from shouting."
Gu Yun calmly crossed his legs and sat to the side. He pinched the small yellow croaker in the oiled paper bag and ate it. When Shen Yi's anger gradually subsided, he suddenly said, "Alright, Jiping, I know that you're annoyed. Although it's the order of the parents and a matchmaker's agreement, if you don't like her, you can choose not to marry her. Who cares whose daughter she is? No matter how complicated the Shen family's roots are, can they control the people of my Black Iron Battalion? "
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment and his expression became gloomy. "I'm not afraid, it's just that …"
Gu Yun nodded. They grew up together as young masters of aristocratic families. There was no need to speak about each other's difficulties. They were well aware of each other's difficulties.
"When I was very young, I heard my aunt and grandmother talking about my father. They said that he was a good-for-nothing. He was neither proficient in literature nor martial arts. All day long, he took idle jobs in the Imperial Astronomer and fooled around with a bunch of monks." Shen Yi sighed slightly, "There are three people in my father's generation. My eldest uncle's leg was crippled and his career was difficult. My father's temperament was unconventional and he didn't like to curry favor. Those years, we relied on my third uncle alone … That year, when I resigned from the Hanlin Academy and entered the Spiritual Pivot Academy, my grandfather almost fainted when he found out and wanted to expel me from the family. It was my father and third uncle who protected me with the crime of being unfilial. At that time, they even used the family discipline. My grandfather made a mistake and in order to protect me, Third Uncle was whipped. He usually had to deal with people and was already exhausted. My grandfather hit him on the spot and he spat out a mouthful of blood. From then on, his health deteriorated and he died before the age of 35. At that time, I resolutely left the capital and joined the army with you because of this."
For the sake of guilt, for the sake of not having to go home and look at others' faces … and also for the sake of making a name for himself to show off to his arrogant family.
In the eyes of outsiders, how many extravagant and luxurious meals were envied by others. Whoever was in the family would know the helplessness inside.
"Sometimes, I just feel that it's boring," Shen Yi said. "It's too boring. After several life-and-death struggles, you have to put on airs. When you go home and open the door curtain, what awaits you is still the same. Unless you cut off all your relatives and expel yourself from the family, you will always be at the mercy of those complicated relationships … Alas, I'm just complaining casually. Don't take it to heart. It's not a big deal. Compared to your family's matters, my family's matters are really trivial."
Gu Yun smiled and said, "It's all idle worries."
"Isn't it?" Shen Yi laughed self-deprecatingly. "Did you see the booklet in the General Chung? Other than military intelligence, it also details the desolation of the disaster victims in Jiangbei. It's still summer, but it's already autumn. If they can't settle down, I don't know how they will survive … Every day is precarious. Only people like us who are in positions without doing anything are still worrying about the matters in our own backyard. "
After he finished speaking, he faintly sighed. The two were silent for a moment. Gu Yun suddenly said, "Tomorrow, let me take a look at General Zhong's booklet. If the time is right, submit it during the morning court. I'm really tired of listening to their quarrel."
Shen Yi was stunned. The Marquis of Stability's attitude was fully representative of the military. For so many years, he hadn't expressed his stance on internal affairs. This time, he was going to stand behind the Grand Council … Prince Yan?
At this time, Changgeng, who had walked in at some point, interrupted, "No need, adoptive father. It's just a small matter. Why do you need to personally appear?"
When Shen Yi saw him coming, he hurriedly removed his posture and couldn't help but sit up straight and said, "Prince is exhausting himself for the sake of the common people. We, the prodigal Qiu Ba, who only know how to spend and not earn, also want to do our part."
Changgeng smiled and said, "General Shen, what are you saying? Only when the soldiers are bathed in blood will we have room to breathe. The matter of setting up a factory along the canal has many implications. If you get involved, it will be easy to create problems. I can still settle it. Don't worry, I guarantee that everything will be settled before the winter freezes over."
The current Prince Yan was no longer the ignorant youth of Yanhui Town. When the country was in danger, there must be someone to shoulder the burden. Although he was young, he was in charge of the Grand Council. He already had a steady and dignified aura around him. A few words that seemed like idle chatter, but when it came out of his mouth, it seemed to be powerful and resonant.
Shen Yi suddenly remembered that ever since Yan Wang took over the Grand Council, they got money and food whenever they wanted. Batch after batch of fire engines and steel armor were sent to the front line without hesitation. If they didn't come from the capital and know how the imperial court was riddled with holes, they would probably be puzzled. Why were their days more comfortable than before the war?
Shen Yi cupped his fist and said, "No matter what, I thank Prince on behalf of the tens of thousands of soldiers at the border."
Changgeng smiled and said, "General Shen, what are you saying? It's what I should do … Besides, adoptive father has already thanked me, right?"
Gu Yun, "…"
This little bastard!
Changgeng took the oiled paper bag from his hand and said softly, "It's enough to eat some snacks to satisfy your cravings. You should at least control yourself. There will be a main meal later."
Shen Yi, this old bachelor, was too embarrassed to sit here. This time, even without Gu Yun chasing him, he wanted to quickly leave after eating. The food at the Marquis of Anning's house was really unsightly.
In the evening, after sending away General Shen, who was both physically and mentally injured, Changgeng took away the wine cup that Gu Yun refused to put down.
Gu Yun smiled lazily and said, "There's no more wine. There's only one cup. Let me smell it."
Changgeng threw him a packet of Anshensan, "You like to smell this."
Gu Yun shook his head helplessly. He was indulgent, but as long as he wanted to control himself, he would not be careless. He did not touch a drop of wine for many days. When Shen Yi came, he only drank two or three cups. It was basically the amount that he touched his lips to moisten his throat. He knew that Changgeng wanted to control him, so he did not take the initiative to put down the cup.
Changgeng really loved to control him. He took care of everything and never let others do it. It was as if this could make him feel at ease.
These were all small matters. Gu Yun was also happy to quietly indulge him.
The two washed up and went back to the room. However, there was no romance. Gu Yun patted the bed and said to Changgeng, "Bring the silver needles over."
That day, Changgeng was shocked and sorrowful. He almost fell into an illusion. Then, his long-cherished wish came true. He was so happy that he went crazy. Gu Yun restrained himself and did not express anything. Two days later, Shen Yi and the others arrived at the capital. He went to look for Miss Chen.
Miss Chen came over to take a look. At that time, she stabbed Yan Wang, who had double pupils that appeared from time to time, into a hedgehog. She said meaningfully, "Since ancient times, extreme joy begets sorrow. It's not uncommon to lose one's mind due to extreme joy. Even ordinary people are like this. In Wangye's case, it's better to control yourself."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Gu Yun vaguely. The word 'beast' seemed to flash through her words. She pasted it on the Marquis of Stability's head from afar and imposed a ban on alcohol, spicy food, noise, and sex. She instructed Yan Wang to use silver needles to calm his mind and stabilize his heart before going to bed every day. If there were places he could not reach, he could only let Gu Yun do it for him. Gu Yun learned from Miss Chen for several days. Fortunately, he had practiced martial arts since he was young and could accurately find the acupuncture points.
Changgeng peacefully lay on the bed and untied Gu Yun's hair bun. He grabbed a strand of his loose hair and played with it. He left his back to Gu Yun's two knives. He was not afraid that Gu Yun would stab him wrongly.
No matter how mentally and physically exhausted he was every day, this moment was the most relaxed time in his heart. He hated that he could not stay like this until the end of time.
