The first thousand and forty-two chapters white blind your face
After Kong Shuhuan stood firm, she said to Gu Chengyu, "Master Gu!"
As soon as Gu Chengyu heard the voice, he knew it was Zhu Pang's wife Kong Shuhuan. He had met Kong Shuhuan before and heard her voice. Naturally, he would not forget it, so he quickly returned the greeting, "Mrs. Sister-in-law!"
After the two greeted each other, Gu Chengyu smiled and said to Zhu Pang, "It's inconvenient to stand at the door. Let's reminisce upstairs!"
Zhu Pang's careful look while supporting Kong Shuhuan caught Gu Chengyu's eyes. Seeing that the other person acted more cautiously than ordinary people, he knew that the other person was pregnant.
He and Zhu Pang had not talked about old times for some time. The last time he came back from disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River, he had to get familiar with the official duties and responsibilities of Dali Temple because of his change of government offices. Therefore, he and Zhu Pang only met briefly once and did not talk in detail.
Furthermore, as a man, Zhu Pang would not talk to him about the fact that this woman was pregnant.
"Third Master! You guys chat, I'll take a rest in the elegant space aside."
Kong Shuhuan is a real lady of the world. Although she is married now, she still has to abide by the etiquette and cannot sit at the same table with her foreign men, even if her own husband is present.
Only then did Gu Chengyu realize that Kong Shuhuan was a woman, so naturally she couldn't be in the same room with him and Zhu Pang.
"That's fine! Just wait for me for a while, and I'll be here soon." Zhu Pang nodded, although he thought that Jin Yu was not an outsider, but since his wife said so, it was better to let her do what she wanted.
"I was negligent, Mingmo! Take Madam Zhu San to the elegant rest room next door."
"yes!"
Seeing that Kong Shuhuan had already entered the private room next door, Gu Chengyu wanted Zhu Pang to enter. As soon as he entered the private room, Zhu Pang asked the questions in his heart.
"Jin Yu! Why are you here? I heard that you were recently assigned by His Highness the Crown Prince to search for assassins. Are those assassins hiding around here?"
Zhu Pang was very confused. As soon as he sat down and didn't even take a sip of tea, he started asking about the assassin.
Gu Chengyu poured a cup of tea for Zhu Pang, and glanced at Zhu Pang during the process. He found that when the other person took the tea cup, his expression was natural and there was nothing unusual.
"There may be more people around here, so I'm here to sit down. What about you? It's a period of national mourning. Why are you taking your wife out with you?" Gu Chengyu picked up the tea bowl and asked with a smile.
"Huan'er is pregnant, and her appetite has been a bit off during this period. Because she is pregnant, her mood goes up and down. She said she wanted to go back to her father-in-law's house to stay for a few days, so I sent her back to her father-in-law's house today."
Zhu Pang said it in an understatement, but to Gu Chengyu's ears, this reason seemed a bit far-fetched.
Kong Jijiu and his wife should have gone to the palace to express their condolences. Even if Kong Shuhuan returned to the Confucius Mansion and her parents were not at home, what is the difference between this and staying at the Zhu Mansion? Why bother to return to the Confucius Mansion?
Besides, there is no need to pass through Nancheng from Zhu Mansion to Confucius Mansion.
"Congratulations to the Zhu family for having another baby! It's just that my wife is pregnant, so I should spend more time with her. How can I send her back to the Confucius family? I heard that when a woman is pregnant, what she needs is her husband's company.
."
Gu Chengyu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He was a man now, so it was inappropriate to say such things.
Sure enough, as soon as he put down the tea bowl, he saw Zhu Pang looking at him carefully across from him.
"Tsk, tsk! Jin Yu! I didn't expect you to read such miscellaneous books on weekdays?" Zhu Pang tutted, looking at Gu Chengyu with eyes full of disbelief.
Gu Chengyu looked a little embarrassed at him, but he just casually persuaded him. Zhu Pang is already the father of a child, isn't he better than him, a single man for two generations?
"However, the friendship between men and women cannot be explained clearly in a few words. If you only read books, how can you understand the mystery of it? Ahem! You are an unmarried person who is not close to women, how can you be better than me?
Do people who are married or fathers understand this?"
Zhu Pang glanced at Gu Chengyu with disdain, and Gu Chengyu suddenly choked. He was talking too much.
Can their topic not rise to such a high level? He was a little overwhelmed. Gu Chengyu quickly picked up the tea bowl to cover up his embarrassment.
"Jinyu! As your friend for so many years, I have something unclear."
Zhu Pang looked at Gu Chengyu with an indescribable strange feeling in his eyes, which made Gu Chengyu frown.
Seeing his expression, Gu Chengyu knew that he must have nothing serious to ask, so he wanted to change the subject.
Who would have thought that Zhu Pang didn't need Gu Chengyu to answer at all, he had already spoken on his own, "Jin Yu! We have known each other for many years. You are also sixteen years old this year. Why are you never having sex with me? It's outrageous how clean and self-sufficient you are.
."
Gu Chengyu's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he knew that this guy was going to be up to no good as soon as he opened his mouth.
"It's a waste of your face and body that you are such a handsome young man. Could it be that you look in the mirror every day and are used to seeing your own beauty, so all those women are ugly in your eyes?"
Zhu Pang picked up the plum blossom cake on the table and took a bite. He looked at Gu Chengyu's figure with his eyes and said with a teasing tone.
"A gentleman should keep himself clean. Furthermore, since I am an official of the imperial court, I should restrain my behavior and not indulge in female sex."
Good figure? What does this mean? Gu Chengyu wanted to roll his eyes, but his self-cultivation did not allow him to do so.
"Who are you trying to trick? Is there any man who doesn't love beauty? You probably don't look down on those ruined flowers, but I heard that some time ago, Miss Xiyan from Tianxiang Pavilion often participated in poetry gatherings held by various families.
Before getting married, it was quite frequent. I guess you are getting older and want to find a close person to marry, right?"
Gu Chengyu stroked his forehead, a little bit dumbfounded, "That's not how the old flowers and willows are used. You should read more books."
As for Miss Xiyan, he had only met her twice two years ago, and he had long forgotten about her. However, she had done him a favor, and he still owed her a favor.
"Aren't you moved? That girl Xiyan took off her veil last year. She is really as beautiful as a flower. Ordinary women can't catch your eye, but this girl Xiyan will definitely satisfy you."
Gu Chengyu was a little helpless, could you please stop talking about this topic? He now felt that Zhu Pang was like a pimp.
"Am I such a superficial person? How can I only look at my face? Besides, I already have a fiancée, so how can I do this? Okay, let's get back to the subject. The capital has been under martial law recently. Have you caught any of the assassins?
It is best to stay at home and not run around. Now that there is no monarch in the court, and the prince wants to ascend the throne, he probably has to wait for the vassal king to arrive in the capital. After the prince ascends the throne, the chaos in the capital will be calmed down."
When it came to business, Zhu Pang's face became serious and he quickly agreed.nn
