genuine stand-in

"I heard that the eldest son of the Gu family in Jiangnan is also here today?"

"That's right, it's really red and rainy! Mr. Gu hasn't asked about Jianghu affairs for seven years, right? I heard that he had a serious illness seven years ago and has withdrawn from the Jianghu since then?" The young maid in her hand is also carrying a delicate little flower basket, which contains fresh peach blossom petals picked just this morning. The third lady's orders must not be missed, otherwise the aunt will have to peel off a layer of skin. .

The voice of the little girl who started talking at first sounded again, but she lowered her voice obviously. She looked around and saw no one else, and then said mysteriously: "You don't know about it. If you have a strange disease, it's all Tell others."

"Oh? Sister, didn't you hear something secret?" The younger maid came to Fang's mansion last month, and she was full of curiosity. Hearing the obvious hint from her companion, she felt as if she had been caught by a mouse, and couldn't help it. Always ask my good sister.

In the entire mansion, except for the third young lady who will punish them villains, the other masters are very kind to the servants. Even the servants will secretly spread some anecdotes about the Jianghu for fun, and the older maids will not hide it. It is said that this is a side courtyard, and the nobles in the mansion will not come here, so they are not afraid of being listened to by interested people.

"Let me tell you, this Mr. Gu is amazing! Let's not say that he was born in a famous family, and he was born suave, but that he won the first place in the three-year competition in Yanyu Building when he was 20 years old. The loud noise, and the fact that the number one fairy in the world, Miss Feng, is so devoted to him, no one in this world would envy him! For a while, the young master Gu Zhen really had a bright future and a bright future. It's a pity..."

The little girl was listening to the story with gusto, but stopping at this critical moment really killed her. She looked at the storyteller eagerly with big eyes, "My dear sister, what happened next? Then what happened?"

The servant girl who was called good sister laughed and knocked on the little girl's forehead. When she heard the little girl cry out in pain, she bent her beautiful eyes.

"It's a pity that during the battle between righteousness and evil seven years ago, Mr. Gu fell in love with the young master of the Liyuan Pavilion at first sight, and said that he would not marry him. The old master Gu abolished his martial arts in a fit of anger. , and put him in the water prison of Gu's mansion. The old owner thought that Mr. Gu's martial arts had been abolished, and he would not be able to escape, so he relaxed the guards of the water prison. Unexpectedly, the young master of the Liyuan Pavilion that night They broke into Gu's dungeon and kidnapped him, and the two of them never appeared in the rivers and lakes again."

After she said such an understatement of the old event seven years ago that was enough to cause a sensation in the martial arts world, the maid couldn't help but sigh with righteous indignation, "Young Master Gu is really blind, Fairy Feng looks like a fairy. No, I just fell in love with a man, and the most hateful thing is that the man is actually a member of the Demon Sect! How about having a good martial arts, what about the talent, it is really disappointing!"

The little maid was carrying the basket and didn't dare to speak. Although she was still young and didn't understand the love stories between adults, she couldn't help but want to excuse Mr. Gu, "He just fell in love with someone he wanted to love." You are the one who never did anything outrageous, but you insisted on pinning your hopes on him, and they haven’t said that you are being sentimental!” But she didn’t dare to say these words even if she was killed, she only dared to slander her secretly.

It wasn't until the two gradually walked away that their voices could no longer be heard, and Han Yue, who was squatting behind the pile of abandoned tables and chairs in the courtyard, let out a soft breath, beat his numb legs, and supported the three-legged The pear wood chair stood up cautiously.

I couldn't help but smile wryly in my heart, really, this Song Mansion is too conniving towards its subordinates, few people dare to tell the secrets of the Jianghu in public, and those who dare to talk freely are not those in the Jianghu The "virtuous and respected" old immortals are some lunatics who are not afraid of revenge from the Jiangnan Gufu.

But unfortunately, Han Yue was not on either side.Now, he can only be thankful that he is the only 'lucky' listener in this remote courtyard who listened to a free affair of Mr. Gu's affair.

However, Han Yue forgot that God seemed to have forgotten to put the word "lucky" on his head from the day he was born, instead, all kinds of unlucky things especially liked to favor him.

So, before Han Yue really let go of his breath and was about to quietly leave the place of right and wrong, a drop of water happened to drip from the old sycamore tree on the right side of the three-legged chair, and hit Han Yue impartially. On the bridge of the nose.

Han Yue's nose is inherently more sensitive than others. People he knows affectionately call him Dog Nose. After sniffing, Han Yue smelled a faint scent of wine. Like Li Huabai, he had smelled it when pouring wine for his master, such a pure but not strong aroma of wine, for a person like him who is addicted to alcohol, he only needs to smell it once, and it will never be forgotten.

Han Yue raised his head in fear, and sure enough, he saw a pair of eyes staring at him that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Han Yue took a deep breath, and stayed where he was, his head exploded with a "buzz", he didn't have the guts to fly away, and the cowardly Han Yue was left with only one Thought: "This is a dead end!"

The handsome man on the tree, carrying a jug of premium wine with white pear blossoms and wearing bright red clothes, was the protagonist "Gu Zhen" that the maids spoke of.

Han Yue didn't expect that he would be so sad that he could meet the protagonist in the story by listening to a story casually, and he was caught straight.

Gu Zhen jumped down from the tree, shook the flagon in his hand, leaned against the tree in a casual posture, and looked at Han Yue, whose three souls were scared away by two souls, with a smile, "I've seen you, you It's that, that veteran disciple of Xiaoyaomen? What's his name?"

Different from Gu Zhen's flamboyant attire, his voice was extremely low, with an affectionate tenderness that seemed to be absent.Han Yue shuddered, his back straightened unconsciously, as if the lowest-level soldier was reporting the frontline military situation to the general, "Han Yue!"

Gu Zhen seemed to be amused by Han Yue's nervous appearance, and his eyes were bent. It was no longer the half-smile with malicious intentions, but the joyful feeling that really emanated from the bottom of his heart.

Gu Zhen was born in a famous family, even if he leaned against a tree without any image, he couldn't hide his imposing appearance, coupled with his suave appearance, his pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to have infinite charm. The tail was raised slightly, and Han Yue was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, his ears flushed with shame, no wonder Fairy Feng is still infatuated with him until now.

Gu Zhen seemed to be in a good mood, and didn't care about the slander from the maids just now. He glanced at the good wine in his hand, looked at the boy in front of him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How old is it?"

"24!"

Gu Zhen stood up slightly, with an incredulous look on her face, and couldn't help but look Han Yue up and down several times, "24? You only look seventeen or eighteen!"

Han Yue seemed a little embarrassed, unconsciously rubbed the clothes on his waist with his left hand, and said a little shyly: "I just look young, so master and senior brothers take good care of me."

Gu Zhen seemed to have no bones, and managed to straighten up a little bit. At this moment, she leaned lazily on the tree again, and threw the flagon in her hand with her right hand.

Han Yue stepped forward to catch it in a hurry, and looked at the flagon in his hand stupidly, not understanding what Gu Zhen meant.

Gu Zhen yawned lazily, waved his hands and said, "This wine also smells good, but unfortunately it's not strong enough. I'm not used to it, so I gave it to you. With your status, you probably won't be able to drink this wine." bar!"

Han Yue is just a disciple of Xiaoyao Pavilion. If it wasn't for the fact that the master took the junior brother out this time and needed to arrange some trivial matters personally, it would really not be Han Yue's turn to go out with him. This wine was brought by the leader of the Song Dynasty to entertain distinguished guests. Han Yue Not to mention taking a sip, just smelling it is a great fortune.

But Han Yue is also a man of backbone, even if the other party is the famous Gu Zhen, Han Yue is a little annoyed by this charitable tone, but when he looks up, he finds that Gu Zhen has already disappeared.

Han Yue was startled. Although his martial arts were mediocre, a first-class master in the Jianghu couldn't just disappear from his side quietly. How far has Gu Zhen's kung fu practiced?Also, didn't the little girl say that Gu Zhen's martial arts was not destroyed by the old master Gu?

Full of anger and doubt, Han Yue sneaked back to the living room of the Song Mansion.

Most of the guests in the hall have been arranged into the guest rooms in the backyard of the Song Mansion, except for the old and weak Taoist priests and old gods of Xiaoyaomen who are sitting on the chairs, no matter how the little maids of the Song Mansion persuade, the door master Brushing his beard, he pretended not to hear, and turned the little maid around anxiously, tears were about to fall.

As soon as Han Yue entered the door, he noticed the strange atmosphere, paused, walked in as if nothing had happened, and saluted the door owner.

When the old doorkeeper saw him, he stopped pretending to be deaf, jumped up from his chair with a 'teng', widened his bull's eyes, let out a "Huh!" from his nostrils, turned around and left.

The teary-eyed little maid hurriedly followed up and led the way, thankful in her heart that the arrogant Taoist priest was finally willing to remove his noble butt from the wooden chair.

Han Yue glanced at the junior for no reason, and the junior shrugged helplessly, saying that it was not good to talk about it in front of others, and asked Han Yue to go to him in private.

Han Yue wandered outside the door owner's house for a long time, but the old Taoist priest didn't open the door for him. Seeing the sky darken, Han Yue sighed and decided to go to the junior brother to find out the wind first.

The little junior leaned on the door frame and looked around, but found no suspicious person, then pulled Han Yue closer to his room, secretly lit a candle, then looked at Han Yue with complicated eyes, and sighed deeply.

Han Yue's scalp became numb from his strange gaze, he cleared his throat, and said, "Junior Brother, what did I do to make Master unhappy?"

The younger brother looked resentful, and said in a rather complaining tone: "Brother, Master has been kind to you like a mountain. When you were seriously injured and lay at the foot of Xiaoyaomen Mountain, it was Master who brought you back to Xiaoyaomen because of his soft heart. How could you be so ungrateful?" For such a person! Still, still...for such a person!"

There are some words, the little junior brother has a thin skin, and even blushed with anger, he couldn't say it.

Han Yue was confused and didn't know what happened, "Little brother, what's going on? You made it clear!"

"Hey! Brother, it's not shameful that you like men. It's not like there is no such precedent in Xiaoyaomen, and the brothers won't laugh at you, but whoever you like is not good, why do you just like Gu Zhen? Where's that prodigal?" The junior brother was still teaching the brother who had gone astray with earnestness and earnestness, feeling that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

It was as if a thunderbolt hit Han Yue's head directly, and his consciousness was blurred for a moment. Fortunately, he reflected in time, and Han Yue said in a daze, "Gu Zhen? I fell in love with him? What a mess, where did you hear that? rumors?"

Junior Brother looked at Han Yue's dazed and angry face, and it didn't seem like he was pretending. Could it be that Gu Zhen was talking nonsense?

"You were not at the banquet today, so Gu Zhen actually proposed marriage to the head of the sect in front of all the heroes in the martial arts, saying that he wanted to marry Han Yue of Xiaoyaomen. He also said that you two are in love and have already made a private decision for life, and that you are willing to leave Xiaoyaomen , please fulfill the sect master, and even took out your close-fitting jade pendant as a token!" Mentioning this matter, the little junior brother was furious, with a baby-fat face puffed up, as if a light poke would kill it. It exploded.

One after another, the Nine Heavens Menlei hit Han Yue's head, and he stretched his hand to his waist in a daze. Sure enough, the jade pendant was gone!

The junior brother didn't see the ungrateful face of the senior brother, and he was still babbling and admonishing the senior brother, with a tone of hatred for iron and steel, wishing to throw this ungrateful and careless senior brother out, and then wishing to throw that ungrateful and careless senior brother out. The culprit, Mr. Gu, pulled his skin and pulled his tendons, and then put it in the oil pan to roll it.

The restless senior brother Han Yue, who had already been hit by thunder after thunder, didn't listen to a word, and only had one thought in his mind: Isn't Gu Zhen not the young pavilion master of the Demon Sect who won't marry?

In the early morning of the second day, the head of the Xiaoyao Sect with two huge dark circles under his eyes ordered someone to pack up the treasures brought out and carry them into the room where Gu Zhen lived. It was considered Han Yue's "dowry". Han Yue waved his hand, the rivers and lakes are far away, everyone should take care of each other!

Just like that, Han Yue, who didn't know what happened, was sold by his dear teacher to the restless and kind-hearted Young Master Gu, and since then he has embarked on the road of 'dire straits'.
