Xu Du was a Grand Scholar at the same time as Nie Cong.
After the matter in Jiang Suizhou was settled, he and Gu Changyun's family were set free. After he entered the imperial court, these two people could no longer stay by his side without any status.
When they were released, Jiang Suizhou also asked them what they wanted.
Xu Du naturally wanted to enter the imperial court as an official, so Jiang Suizhou changed his household registration. Gu Changyun didn't want anything else, so he simply took a large sum of money and went to live freely.
The year Xu Du entered the capital, Gu Changyun's restaurant was already very big.
There were very few authentic Lin 'an dishes in Ye City, especially since this restaurant always sent chefs to the imperial city to cook for the Emperor. In two to three years, the restaurant thrived and built a three-story building on the busiest street in Ye City.
Xu Du lived here.
Gu Changyun even had a wife now. His wife was very beautiful and spoke with a Sichuan accent. She was very sharp and shrewish.
Now, much of the restaurant's business was handled by his wife.
Xu Du became a Grand Scholar and his ranking was quite good. Gu Changyun specially set up a table of wine for him.
Xu Du saw that he had changed a lot.
In the past, they had worked together for a long time. Gu Changyun's personality was that of someone who wanted the world to be in chaos, so he always seemed flirtatious and didn't look serious.
But now, he had changed a lot. At least, he could speak more carefully.
— — It was all his wife's fault.
The celebration banquet was very lively. After eating and drinking, Gu Changyun's wife smiled and praised Xu Du for being young and promising.
"Unlike our parents, in the end, you're just material for doing business." She smiled. "You're so young, but you're going to be a high-ranking official!"
Gu Changyun sat on the chair next to her and played with a wine cup in his hand.
"What promising? Aren't you familiar with His Majesty?"
His wife heard this and turned to look at him in surprise.
"You are friends with His Majesty! How did they get to know each other? "
Gu Changyun looked at Xu Du with a smile. There was a deeper meaning in his smile.
"Ask him?" he said.
In addition to them, there were a few other people who were on the same roll as Xu Du. He glanced indifferently at Gu Changyun and saw him smiling smugly. It was obvious that his old habit of fanning the flames was acting up again.
Xu Du retracted his gaze and smiled politely at Mrs. Gu.
"Mrs. Gu didn't know?" he asked. "However, it can't be considered a friendship. It's just that when Your Majesty was still Prince Jing, I worked as Your Majesty's aide for a while."
"So it's that powerful!" Mrs. Gu exclaimed.
Xu Du glanced at Gu Changyun, his smile reserved and gentle.
"That's right. At that time, Changyun and I worked together," he said.
"So that's the case! Changyun didn't tell me even once! "Mrs. Gu exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Changyun, who was sitting crookedly in his chair, shuddered and immediately sat up straight.
He looked at Xu Du with a warning look.
Xu Du smiled faintly as if he didn't see it.
In the past, he knew that Gu Changyun couldn't change this habit of his, and that no one could control him. But now was different. No one could control him in the past, but it didn't mean that no one could control him now.
He looked at Mrs. Gu and smiled.
"That's right. Changyun has a good temper and is trusted by the Emperor. There were many interesting things at that time. Does Mrs. Gu want to hear them? "
"Naturally …"
Before Mrs. Gu could finish, Gu Changyun had already sat up straight and interrupted her.
"What's there to talk about? Have you drunk too much? "
Xu Du looked at Mrs. Gu with a faint smile.
Mrs. Gu's expression changed slightly. She turned around and was about to pinch Gu Changyun's ear.
"Why can't the two of you sit down? Is there something that can't be revealed? "She asked.
"No, no, what can there be!" Before she could exert any strength, Gu Changyun cried out in pain.
"Then why can't you talk about it!"
"It's confidential, it's all confidential! If you work for the Emperor, you must keep your mouth shut for the Emperor! If you talk about this behind his back, you'll be beheaded! "
The banquet became a mess of laughter. Xu Du sat at the side and smiled faintly. Bored to death, he poured himself another cup of wine.
Outside the window, a bright moon was hanging there.
The world was peaceful, and the seas were calm.
