Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 166 Meeting Gu Mingxuan

After half a year of separation, Xu Chengyu finally saw his little disciple again. Although Xu Chengyu was not good at expressing, he was very happy in his heart.Leaving Gu Yunji and the others behind for dinner, he even took out his treasured Qiu Lubai during the banquet, and forced them to drink with him.

Qiu Lubai's mouth is sweet, but the stamina is extremely strong, Gu Yunji has already experienced it a few years ago.Right now, he doesn't seem to have a long memory. In order to make Xu Chengyu happy, he drank a lot with him, and finally he was overwhelmed with alcohol, and became the first person to fall asleep on the spot.

When he woke up again the next morning, he was already in the room of the Imperial Examination Hall.Gu Yunji drank a bit fragmentedly, originally he didn't remember what happened yesterday clearly, but Xudong recounted the process:
Seeing that Xu Chengyu had brought out Qiu Lubai, Xu Shuhua thoughtfully ordered someone to make a detoxification soup.It's just that Gu Yunji didn't expect Gu Yunji to get drunk so quickly. One second, his face was reddish, and he was chatting calmly, and the next second he fell down on the table with a bang, and fell asleep without warning. Didn't even have time to bring it up.

Over the past few years, not only has his drinking capacity not improved, but he has even regressed to this point, becoming so drunk in front of a large room of people.Listening to Xudong's vivid description, Gu Yunji could almost imagine how embarrassing the scene was at that time. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should regret that the reunion with the Xu family father and daughter was interrupted like this, or should he be thankful that his wine was good. After being drunk, he just fell asleep and did not have other aggressive behaviors.

Time passed quickly, snow fell in the capital one after another, and New Year's Eve came crackling with the sound of firecrackers.This is the fourth Spring Festival that Gu Yunji has passed since he traveled, and it is also the most deserted Spring Festival that he has lived. There is no reunion dinner, no new clothes, and no smiling faces and care from his family.

Even in the festive first month, the imperial examination hall was still as boring as ever. Only a few greeting letters with Gu Yuanhui and the occasional visits to Xu's family made him feel a little taste of the year.

The days passed by, and the snow on the road melted unconsciously into the warmth of spring. It was the end of February in a blink of an eye, and there were more than ten days until the imperial examination of this year.

In the evening of this day, Gu Yunji, who had been studying in the room for a whole day, was about to go out for a walk, when Xu Dong came to report: "Master, there is a young man looking for you outside, and he is waiting in the lobby on the first floor."

Gu Yunji subconsciously thought that it was Ren Yingze who came to him, so he asked, "Young master? But the one you met outside the restaurant when you first arrived in the capital?"

Xudong shook his head: "It's not him, this one looks like he's in his 20s, and he didn't give his name, he just said he was looking for you."

Gu Yunji was puzzled, and when he walked to the first floor, he saw a young man sitting in the lobby drinking tea. This man had a handsome face, and his clothes were modest but luxurious.Hearing the sound of going downstairs, he slightly raised his eyelids, and before Gu Yunji could speak, he asked first:

"You are the second genius of the Gu family in the past century - Gu Yunji?"

Centennial genius?What kind of arrogant and weird title is this?It's really inexplicable that this person didn't introduce himself when he came up, but instead threw out such an endless sentence.

Gu Yunji frowned slightly for a moment, his expression quickly returned to calm, and he slightly cupped his hands at him: "This is Gu Yunji, may I ask what your name is?"

The man didn't answer directly, but blew the tea foam in the cup on his own, and said in a casual tone, "If you don't deny the title of genius on the second day of a hundred years, then you admit it? I can't tell, you are a bit arrogant gas."

Raising his eyes casually, and seeing the hard-to-disguise exhaustion on Gu Yunji's face, he paused for a moment, and turned the subject off guard: "Although it's preparing for the imperial examination, you can't spend all day in the room studying, as it's easy to suffocate your body. Now that the exam is approaching, it is still necessary to take care of your body, step by step is the right way, and take proper rest to recharge your batteries for the big exam.”

Sometimes it was derogatory, and sometimes it was caring. Without introducing his identity and purpose of coming, this person preached to Gu Yunji like an elder, but he still looked leisurely and calm, and never looked at him directly from the beginning to the end. , really annoying.

Gu Yunji suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and his voice sank a bit: "I don't need to worry about your health. I have never met your Excellency before, and I thought I had nothing to do with each other. I don't know why you came here this time? If nothing happened , please come back."

"Hey, you're not short-tempered, so you're starting to drive people away?" Gu Yunji's tone was not very good, and the man raised his eyebrows slightly, but he was not annoyed, "Actually, you should have met me, but you At that time, I was young and I didn’t have any impression. Now that so many years have passed, my appearance and shape have changed a little, and it’s normal if you don’t recognize it.”

Ever seen it as a child?So you're an acquaintance?Could it be a distant relative of the Gu family?Gu Yunji's heart was uncertain, and he was about to ask, when he heard Gu Yunxiao's voice behind him:
"You are... cousin Mingxuan?"

The corners of Gu Mingxuan's lips curled slightly, and he turned his head to look at Gu Yunxiao who had just come down from the upstairs, and his tone was jokingly teasing: "It seems that someone still remembers me."

He is Gu Mingxuan?Gu Kaili's eldest son, Gu Mingxuan, the 17-year-old Zhongjue 20-year-old Jinshi, known as the most outstanding child of the Gu family for decades?

Unexpectedly, Gu Yunji asked incredulously, "You... are you really cousin Mingxuan?"

Gu Mingxuan raised his chin slightly: "What? It doesn't look like it? Or is it different from what you imagined?"

It's not the same.Gu Yunji narrowed his eyes and looked him up and down, his expression was a bit indescribable.

Since time travelling, Gu Yunji has been able to hear Gu Mingxuan's name from his father, brother and elders from time to time, and all descriptions of him are without exception full of praise.What kind of talent is outstanding and stunning, what kind of filial piety, obedience, understanding, thoughtfulness, and caring... made him subconsciously think that Gu Mingxuan was a modest and decent gentleman.

Looking at the man in front of him again, his body is leaning loosely on the chair, his legs are still crossed, his posture is calm and casual, and the frivolous meaning between his brows is obvious.

If it weren't for Gu Mingxuan's handsome appearance, which made his whole body a bit more upright, Gu Yunji would almost have thought that he was a flirtatious libertine.

Pulling back his thoughts, Gu Yunji realized that his previous attitude was a bit offensive, so he bowed upright and apologized: "Yunji was blind for a while, but he didn't recognize cousin Mingxuan. I hope cousin will forgive me for the impolite words. .”

Gu Mingxuan smiled lightly, but his tone was cool: "It's not a problem. After all, even the two of you brothers haven't visited me in the capital for more than two months, so I'm not angry, so why would you be angry because of such a trivial matter?"

After scraping off the tea foam in the cup, Gu Mingxuan took the time to raise his head, his eyes were dim: "You mean it, cousin Yunji?"
