My vest is not human [comprehensive martial arts]

Young Master Gu didn't want to say more, no matter how hard Gu Anning tried, he wouldn't reveal a single word.

Gu Anning did not give up in his heart, but obediently stopped asking, and asked another topic, "Brother, you are 29 years old this year, when will you marry a sister-in-law?"

Young Master Gu was taken aback, and smiled, "What? You want to get married? Could it be that you ran outside a few days ago and met a girl you like?"

"Brother! Apart from Qiutang and Shangguan Feiyan, have I seen any other women outside?" Gu Anning said angrily. He poked Mr. Gu's arm, "I'm asking you."

"I have no intention of marrying a wife and having children for the time being." Mr. Gu said with a smile that faded.

"Is it because of that fiancée? If she stayed in Gujiazhuang six years ago, you should have seen her." Gu Anning's curiosity was overflowing, "What does she look like? How old is she? Tall ?"

Young Master Gu didn't want Gu Anning to be involved in the death of his parents, and he didn't care too much about his former fiancée.Since Gu Anning wants to know so much, it doesn't hurt to tell him.

"I'll just say it, don't worry." Mr. Gu said helplessly, "Her surname is Ye, and she is the daughter of Ye Lingfeng from the Wudang sect."

"It turned out to be a person from the Jianghu." Gu Anning was very surprised.

He didn't know much about the affairs of Jianghu, so he took it for granted that the Gu family was just a simple merchant family and had nothing to do with martial arts sects.

But today, Mr. Gu told him that the girl who almost became his sister-in-law turned out to be from the Wudang sect.

In ancient times, most of the marriage contract matters could not be decided by oneself. It was in accordance with etiquette that the parents of both parties met each other and then hired a matchmaker.The binding force of "rituals" in ancient times is stronger than that in modern times. Rituals are rules. If you do not follow the rules, you will not be recognized by others, that is, you will not be recognized by society.In modern times, it is like not having a marriage certificate.

Mr. Gu's marriage contract is naturally in accordance with the rules, that is to say, their parents have contacts with the Wudang faction, and even have a good relationship.

Young Master Gu nodded, "More than that. Ye Lingfeng is also the uncle of Ye Gucheng in Nanhai."

Hearing the words "Ye Gucheng", Gu Anning's heart skipped a beat.

He thought that after the mission, he would no longer have contact with Ye Gucheng.When doing the task of Li Gui, Gu Anning used his own face... Now that Mr. Gu told him that his former fiancée was Ye Gucheng's cousin, Gu Anning suddenly felt like he was on his back, and the matter of identity was finally resolved. , I didn't expect that something went wrong here again.

But fortunately, the engagement between Eldest Young Master Gu and the other party has been terminated. If there is no accident, Gu Anning will never have the chance to meet that mysterious fiancee.

He quickly settled his mood and asked, "Big Brother and her marriage contract, does it have anything to do with Ye Gucheng?"

Eldest Young Master Gu said calmly, "Naturally it has something to do with it. If there is no Ye Gucheng, no matter how low the family background of our Gu family is, we will not be able to get the turn of the Ye family."

This is the first time Gu Anning heard this kind of statement, he couldn't help asking curiously, "Is our family very powerful?"

"Yes." Young Master Gu patted his head, "So don't worry too much, as long as I want to do, there is nothing I can't do. You just need to take good care of your body, and when you are healthy, what do you want to do? I don't stop."

Young Master Gu has said this countless times, but this time, Gu Anning finally felt the arrogance that he couldn't experience before.

"You put it that way, I want to know even more..." Gu Anning looked at him resentfully, "Every time you only tell me a little bit, arouse my curiosity but don't say anything. Why are you so annoying. "

Young Master Gu just smiled and said nothing, "That's fine. I still have things to do, so I won't disturb your rest."

Gu Anning knew that once Eldest Young Master Gu made a decision, no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to change his mind.

Saying goodbye to his elder brother and watching him leave, Gu Anning closed his eyes and lay on the bed, silently connecting the things that Young Master Gu said.

Their family is a very powerful family, and their parents' status in the world should not be low, so they made a marriage contract with the Ye family.Although Ye Lingfeng is in Wudang and not in the South China Sea, he still has some contacts with Ye Gucheng.Therefore, the status of the Gu family should be comparable to that of Baiyun City, but it may be slightly lower.

Later, when the girl from the Ye family came to Gu's village, her parents died, and Gu Anning fell ill. After waking up, she lost part of her memory, and the marriage contract between the Ye family and the Gu family was also cancelled.

Is it because the Ye family felt that the Gu family had lost the person in power and would not last long before retiring?Or is there another reason?

Gu Anning felt that the Ye family should not have been involved in what happened six years ago.If they really did it, it is impossible for Mr. Gu not to know, and he would not let the murderer go unpunished.

After Eldest Young Master Gu left, Qiutang came in from the outside with a smile.

Gu Anning moved her nose and got up from the bed, "What kind of smell, it smells so good."

"Second Young Master has a really good nose." Qiu Tang said, "This servant learned some skills from the cook of Piaoxiang Building last month, tried many times in the kitchen, and finally managed to do it. It just so happens that Second Young Master woke up today, I can eat the first portion."

Gu Anning saw her take out a small white porcelain bowl from behind. It was covered with a lid, and the contents could not be seen.

Qiutang lifted the lid, took out a small spoon, and stirred it lightly, "It's tortoise jelly, made from high-quality tortoise shells, with sweet-scented osmanthus syrup poured on it, the second son will try it to see if it suits your mouth."

Gu Anning has always wanted to eat meat and sugar, but he drank too much medicine and his stomach is not as good as normal people.Mr. Gu was afraid that he would not be able to bear it, and he was also worried that these things would spoil the medicinal properties, so he strictly restricted Gu Anning's diet, and he was not allowed to eat many things.

Before, Qiutang felt that Mr. Gu was doing the right thing, because she really didn't want to see Gu Anning suffer when he got sick.But after seeing the malaria ghost at Hua's house that day, Qiutang felt even more uncomfortable.

If Gu Anning really has a limited lifespan, is it possible that he can't eat it once before he dies?Does he really like such a day?

Qiutang felt so guilty, so she thought of a way, picked out a few warming and nourishing foods, and planned to learn them slowly, cook them for Gu Anning to satisfy his cravings, and try her best to satisfy his little wish.

Gu Anning didn't think too much about it, he looked at Qiutang touched, and smiled softly, "I learned it specially for me, but unfortunately I have nothing to repay you, just say a few more words Thank you."

Qiu Tang said, "The duty of a servant is to serve the Second Young Master, why should the Second Young Master thank you?"

Under Qiu Tang's expectant gaze, Gu Anning took a bite of the black pastry in the bowl.

The taste is a bit strange, as if there is a little familiar smell of medicine, but it is not unacceptable.The sweet osmanthus syrup washed away the strange smell, but Gu Anning preferred syrup to Guiling jelly.

"It tastes good." Gu Anning couldn't say bad things about what Qiutang painstakingly made.

Even for that little sweet-scented osmanthus syrup, I have to praise it, so as to fight for my right to eat sweets.

"It's as long as the second son likes it. The servant intends to learn a few more sweets to satisfy the second son's craving." Qiutang said.

"Thank you." After eating a bowl, Gu Anning remembered what he had just discussed with Young Master Gu, and thought that Qiutang should know something about it.

Young Master Gu has only left for a short time, and he has not met Qiutang.Qiutang was unprepared, if she asked insincerely, she should be able to find out something.

"Qiu Tang, if I remember correctly, you only came to my side three years ago?" Gu An Ning showed nostalgic eyes, "Did you follow Big Brother before? I don't think I've ever seen you."

Qiutang smiled and said, "Second Young Master has never met the servant girl, but the servant girl has seen Second Young Master several times."

Gu Anning had no impression at all, her almond eyes widened slightly, "Huh? When did you meet me?"

Qiutang cleaned up the bowl, saw that Gu Anning wanted to chat, so she stood in front of the bed and chatted with him.

She said, "The servant girl was rescued by the eldest son at the age of 14. In the blink of an eye, it has been 11 years. During these 11 years, I have seen the second son quite a few times."

"Really?" Gu Anning was still at a loss, "I've never heard you mention the past. What did you do when you were with Big Brother? Are you doing the same to me?"

Qiu Tang said, "There are not a few people who serve the eldest son, so how can it be the servant's turn? The servant is just running errands and passing a message."

Gu Anning felt that Qiutang's description definitely did not match the reality.

Qiutang's martial arts is very high, although Gu Anning doesn't know martial arts, but Miss Liang came to the house that night, Qiutang's timely protection, and Miss Liang's reaction all showed that her martial arts are not low.Such a girl, and she is a very beautiful girl, how could she just run errands and deliver letters?

Gu Anning asked again, "Then do you know that elder brother had a fiancée before?"

"Why did Second Young Master suddenly want to ask this?" Qiu Tang still had a smile on her face, and Gu Anning knew that she was already vigilant.

Gu Anning said honestly: "Because I chatted with my elder brother for a while after waking up, and then we talked about the past. What's the name of that fiancee?"

Qiu Tang smiled, "If Second Young Master wants to know, just ask Eldest Young Master directly, why bother to embarrass slaves?"

As soon as Gu Anning heard this sentence, she knew that there was nothing she could ask.

He sighed, "If elder brother would tell me, I wouldn't ask you specifically. Qiutang, do you know why elder brother must keep it from me?"

"Slaves dare not speak nonsense." Qiutang said cautiously.

Gu Anning thought she wouldn't say anything more, but heard Qiutang whisper, "But I know that even though you and the eldest son are the masters of the house, the eldest son alone has the final say on the Gu Family Village. Every decision you make is related to the survival of the entire Zhuangzi. You are the most special existence in Gujiazhuang, the eldest son will not harm you, and there are some things that you are not allowed to know for your own good."

Gu Anning knew from Eldest Young Master Gu that the status of the Gu family was more detached than he imagined, and from Qiutang he also understood that his brother was under much more pressure than he imagined.

He would not understand what kind of life Eldest Young Master Gu lived, nor would he know the meaning behind every decision that Young Master Gu made.

Gu Anning previously felt that even though he had to rely on Mr. Gu to survive now, he should act like a man and shoulder the responsibility of being a son and younger brother.But now he feels powerless.

Now, what can he do even if he knows everything?It will never be better than Young Master Gu, he can't even help at all, he can only lie on the bed, waiting to fall asleep at any time.

Seeing Gu Anning's disappointment, Qiutang comforted her, "Young master is more powerful than you think, at least from the perspective of my servant, there is nothing he can't solve. You don't need to worry, as long as you listen to the young master, If there are fewer illnesses, the eldest son will be very satisfied."

"Okay." Gu Anning actually resigned to his fate a long time ago. He didn't expect to be free before he recovered from his illness, and he just waited to use the system to get more real energy.

Qiu Tang said, "In a few days, it will be your 19th birthday. The Eldest Young Master is already making arrangements for the future, and specially spared time to accompany you. If you have anything you want, maybe you can ask it on your birthday. Maybe the eldest son will satisfy you."

"19 years old? So fast?" Gu Anning didn't turn the corner for a moment.

After coming to this world, he has never even been to school, and he has long forgotten what he learned in his previous life. When counting his birthday, he can't wait to count them one by one with his fingers.

"Yeah, could it be that you've been so sleepy that you forgot your birthday?" Qiutang couldn't help laughing, "Today is July 22, and your birthday will be eighteen days later. It's almost mid-autumn."

Zhongqiu, the day of reunion.It's just that in Gu Anning's memory, after the parents passed away, there was no more excitement.

"Can I invite Lu Xiaofeng to come?" Gu Anning asked, "Lu Xiaofeng doesn't seem to have a family, and he is my first friend. It would be great if I could invite him."

Qiutang said, "But Lu Xiaofeng has no fixed place to live, so even if you want to write to him, you may not be able to find someone for him."

What Qiutang didn't say was that everyone in Jianghu knew that Lu Xiaofeng loved to make friends, from beggars on the street to women in brothels, he had friends everywhere.He has too many friends, and Gu Anning is just one of them.But Lu Xiaofeng is one of the few friends to Gu Anning.

Gu Anning didn't think about it that much, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You have to try it to know."

Qiutang felt as if she was lifting a rock to shoot herself in the foot.

As usual, she first comforted the innocent and innocent young master, and then worriedly went to the elder master to file a complaint, telling Gu Anning what she had asked about her fiancée today, as well as the idea of ​​inviting Lu Xiaofeng to the house as a guest. big son.

Young Master Gu didn't think it would be difficult to invite Lu Xiaofeng to his house, but he still felt worried.

Like Qiu Tang, Mr. Gu also felt that Gu An Ning was too simple.

He asked Qiu Tang, "What do you think? The last time I went to Hua's house was very dangerous. When An Ning fell ill, it would be more reassuring to stay at home."

The Hua family was also a psychological shadow for Qiutang. She seldom cried, but she cried countless times that day.

At that time Qiutang really felt that Gu Anning was going to die.

Qiutang said, "Is there any way to make Lu Xiaofeng and the Second Young Master communicate more?"

Young Master Gu understood what she meant.

Lu Xiaofeng's nature is not bad, and he has no malice towards An Ning.If Eldest Young Master Gu is willing to explain clearly to him, let Lu Xiaofeng devote more energy, be more proactive towards Gu Anning, and maintain the friendship between the two.Instead of Gu Anning's pitiful contribution alone.

Mr. Gu never expected that not long ago he had sternly warned Lu Xiaofeng to stay away from his younger brother, but now he is asking him to come forward.

No matter what, on the premise that Gu Anning's health is not threatened, he is willing to meet any request of Gu Anning.

Young Master Gu sent his servants to look for Lu Xiaofeng everywhere, and sent out news that he was invited to attend the younger brother's birthday banquet.

Gu Anning didn't know how much effort his casual mention had cost Mr. Gu.

When there is no task, he is very free every day, wakes up on time, eats and drinks medicine in the morning, reads, eats and drinks medicine at noon, basks in the sun, eats and drinks medicine in the evening, walks in the yard with Qiutang, and then goes to sleep. when.Sometimes he was so tired that he could sleep through the afternoon.If things go on like this, it won't be surprising if your body can get better.

In the past ten years or so, Gu Anning didn't have a system. At that time, his body was really weak, and he would have difficulty breathing when he felt uncomfortable. When he was sick before, Gu Anning even felt that he would die if he closed his eyes, and he couldn't wake up again.It was also when he was a child that his family held him in the palm of their hands, afraid of being knocked or touched, afraid of the cold or heat, and would not let him suffer even the slightest injury.More than ten years later, even if Gu An Ning wanted to run and jump, Qiu Tang would see the temporary discomfort on his body, and then push him to sit down and order him to rest.

But compared to before owning the system, he is already very satisfied.

Five days have passed since Gu An Ning was a wealthy, idle and sick child. During these five days, Mr. Gu was very busy. Gu An Ning didn't even see his face, let alone ask about the family's secrets.On the fifth day, Gu Anning fainted in the grass and started the next task.

【Task object: house ghost】

[Task Reward: True Yuan*30]

There is an empty house in Jin Guoda.

According to legend, when Emperor Huiqin and other princes and princesses were sold to the Kingdom of Jin as compensation for defeat, they lived there for a few days.

The former princes and nobles became captives of the empire and were treated as servants.Many people couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide in order to preserve their dignity.There are also some princes and princesses who were tortured to death, and those who survived, except for the two emperors Huiqin, were scolded for losing the integrity of the country.After leaving the Kingdom of Jin, the Song Dynasty no longer welcomed them, and even the emperor of the Song Dynasty sent people to assassinate them because he was unwilling to give up the throne.

In any case, that shameful event that cannot be recalled has passed.

The Song Dynasty and the Kingdom of Jin were defeated steadily, and moved from Bianliang to Lin'an.

Lin'an Lin'an, a place of temporary stability, did not expect that after coming to the south, they would never be able to take back the land.

The house that was once inhabited by the royal family of the Song Dynasty also became vacant after everyone left.

Because that house is haunted.

No one wants to live in a haunted house, or even live next to it.

The empty house was overgrown with weeds, and the untrimmed trees grew wildly, quickly covering most of the sky above the house.

A young man from the Kingdom of Jin dressed as an aristocrat led his servants to ride horses in the city. After he stopped, he found that he had come here at some point, and the servants who followed him disappeared at some point.

The boy obviously had not heard the rumors related to this house.

However, he didn't enter right away. Instead, he walked around the area first, but found no one. Then, driven by curiosity, he knocked on the door of the house.

After the slender white palm touched the hard wooden door, it was full of dust.

"What the hell?" The boy clapped his hands in disgust, and kicked the door open.

The door was unlocked and opened easily.

He led the maroon horse and walked in. The horse shook its head and refused to move. It kept kicking its limbs and screaming in terror.

The young man failed to comprehend the emotion in the cry of his beloved horse, nor did he pay attention to the too quiet atmosphere around him, and the cold aura gushing out from inside the moment he opened the door.He is not very old, and his parents and servants worry about everything. After a long time, he has a spoiled temper. He doesn't know the suffering in the world, and he doesn't know what fear is.

He turned back to the horse and said, "Since you don't want to go in, just wait outside, I'll go in and have a look."

He tied the horse to a tree, fastened the rope, and entered the house alone.

Unexpectedly, the inside of the house is not as dirty as the outside, and there are even traces of other people's lives.

The boy has lived in the capital for so long, and he has never seen such a strange place.

He was not afraid at all, but thought in his heart that there were few people here, and it was not too far from the palace. If he could sort out this place and not tell anyone, it might be his secret base.

The young man looked around the house with his eyes looking at the private property, and he was even more convinced that this place was inhabited.

He thought to himself, he didn't know where the master had gone.He has plenty of money, and it would be great to buy the yard if he gave the owner a sum of money.

The boy turned around again, and he called out, "Is anyone there?"

Then he caught a glimpse of the young man under the tree out of the corner of his eye.

The young man walked over, and said to the young man who looked down on his face, he was not polite, "Hey, how long have you been here? Isn't it interesting to see Xiao Wang wandering around the yard by himself?" He walked forward, I want to lift my leg and kick it.

After hearing his words, the young man slowly raised his head.

He was much taller than the young man, and his appearance was very handsome and elegant. There seemed to be a hint of sadness in his eyes, but his eyes were erratic, as if he had only heard his voice, and had never seen him so big.

The boy felt strange in his heart, his movements stagnated, and the kicking leg fell to the ground.

"Are you the master here?" the boy asked.

The youth's sluggish eyes suddenly lit up, he turned his head and looked at the young man slowly, his eyes gradually focused, and finally fell to the real point.

He whispered, "Are you the prince?"

The young man's expression was awkward for a moment, his ears turned red, "No, my father is the prince, and I am the little prince! My father has only one son, so I will inherit his title and become the prince."

The young man showed a faint smile, "That's great."

After some conversations, the boy couldn't keep his head high. He put away his arrogance, and showed a curious expression like an ordinary child, "Are you the only one here?"

The young man frowned, dug out his long memories, and answered his words, "It wasn't before, but now it's just me."

"Ah..." The boy suddenly felt that if he was alone, there was no need to buy the whole house.As long as you tell him, he can still come here when he wants to get rid of the guards behind him, or after being scolded by the princess, and there is another person who can talk with him.

Perhaps it was because the young man in front of him had such a good temperament that he couldn't feel the slightest bit of disgust.

"What's your name?" The boy suddenly smiled, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Zhao Jin." Gu Anning said softly.

"My name is Zhao Jin."
