When he arrived at the gate of Gu's house, he dismounted, tied the horse to the hitching post at the gate, and knocked on the door.
Shi Hu poked his head out and saw a tall, handsome young man standing at the door. He asked in surprise, "Who are you looking for?"
Gu Xi smiled at him and said, "I'm looking for my uncle."
When Shi Hu learned that the uncle he was looking for was Gu Xueting, he was even more surprised. Aren't the prince's nephews all in the imperial capital? I haven't heard that any prince has come to the northern border.
He went in and reported something, and Gu Xueting knew that it was Gu Xi who came, "Let him in."
When Gu Xi came in, she saw Gu Xueting and Shen Yizi eating breakfast.
There was a large table full of porridge, noodles, dim sum, and side dishes, all of which were delicious and much better than what he had eaten.
Although he had just eaten, Gu Xi felt hungry again when he saw the food on the table in front of him.
So when Shen Yizhi asked him if he had eaten, and if so, to sit down and eat together, he sat down naturally.
He scooped a bowl of porridge, tasted it, and silently quickened his pace.
He knew yesterday that this young aunt was a good cook, but because they were eating hot pot, and the soup was made with the soup he had cooked earlier, the taste was limited.
But the taste of the porridge today amazed him, not only the taste, but also the spiritual energy that entered his stomach along with the food!
Every mouthful of porridge is full of spiritual energy!
This porridge is definitely made with spiritual rice, and the lean meat and vegetables in it are also made with spiritual rice, so it tastes so smooth and delicious.
Just this bowl of porridge was equivalent to half a month of meditation and practice.
After the meal, Gu Xi made up her mind to come here for meals more often.
He wiped his mouth and said, "Aunt, I didn't do anything strange after I got drunk yesterday, did I?"
Speaking of this, Shen Yizhi couldn't help but smile, but deliberately asked him: "What do you mean by strange thing?"
Gu Xi coughed lightly, "Aunt, please stop teasing me. What was that square palm-sized stone you were holding yesterday?"
He suspected that the stone was some kind of magical weapon that recorded his predicament of yesterday.
If that's really the case, is it too late for him to destroy the evidence now?
Shen Yizhi raised his eyebrows, "Do you really want to know? Then I'll tell you."
She took out the photo stone and said, "This is called a photo stone. It can record what people say and do."
Gu Xi's heart skipped a beat. What he was worried about came true. He just hoped that he didn't do anything too damaging to his image after getting drunk yesterday, otherwise this would be a black history for his whole life! "Do you want to see what you look like when you're drunk?" Shen Yizhi asked him with a smile.
Gu Xi wanted to refuse, but she was so curious that she moved closer.
A man appeared on the photo stone, twisting his hips and swaying his waist as he walked in a cat-like manner. He was wearing a bright red robe and posing with a silly smile on his face that he thought was charming.
A devilish laugh came from inside.
Needless to say, the laughter came from the little aunt next to him who was trying to hold back her laughter.
Gu Xi was so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
She reached out and tried to snatch the photo stone from Shen Yizhi, but she threw the photo stone to Gu Xueting.
Gu Xi didn't dare to snatch the things from Gu Xueting, so she could only sit back with a blank face.
Shen Yizhi comforted him insincerely: "Xiao Xixi, people usually release their nature after being drunk and do things that they want to do but cannot do normally. What you did is nothing. Don't worry, I won't spread this."
"Thank you so much, little aunt." Gu Xi was not comforted.
Shen Yizhi waved his hand: "You're welcome. You are Xue Ting's nephew, and also my nephew. We are all family."
Gu Xi's eyes turned, "If that's the case, then little aunt shouldn't mind having me at the table, right?"
"No problem, you're welcome to come and eat every day."
For her, cooking is a piece of cake as she has the Chang Ran Ding. Not to mention one more person, even if there are seven or eight more, she can still handle the job.
So from that day on, Gu Xi started a lifestyle of coming here for free meals every day, and her life became more interesting.
This day, he brought a piece of news.
The emperor was seriously ill in bed and unable to handle state affairs, so he ordered the crown prince to govern the country and the ministers to assist him.
In fact, Gu Xueting already knew about this matter in advance, because the whole thing was controlled by the National Master behind the scenes, and he was informed of it after it was done.
Gu Xi had been feeling uneasy since she got the news, but when she arrived at the Gu residence and saw that Gu Xueting still looked calm, the restlessness in her heart inexplicably subsided.
"Uncle, I have been waiting for this opportunity for many years. If I want to pull him down from the throne and eliminate the prince's party, will you stand on my side?" Gu Xi stared at Gu Xueting without blinking.
At this moment, Shen Yizhi, who was not far away, cried out in pain. Gu Xueting immediately ignored him and rushed over.
Just now, Shen Yizi took out the almost baked sweet potatoes from the furnace with tongs, and then broke them with his hands. The result can be imagined.
The sweet potatoes just out of the oven were so hot that even with her current heat resistance she couldn't handle it.
Seeing that her hands were burned red, Gu Xueting held her hands and blew on them.
Seeing Gu Xi looking over and looking at them with a rather indescribable look, Shen Yizhi felt a little embarrassed and pulled his hand back, "Okay, it's not hot anymore. Let's eat sweet potatoes, freshly baked soft sweet potatoes, so sweet that oil is dripping with sweetness."
"Leave this kind of thing to me." Gu Xueting took the sweet potato from her, broke it in half, handed half to Gu Xi, and wrapped the other half in oil paper before giving it to Shen Yizi.
Gu Xi sighed inwardly and took a bite of the sweet potato. Wow, it was so hot! But it was also so fragrant!
On the other side, Shen Yizhi was eating with a spoon. He first scooped a large spoonful and fed it to Gu Xueting, and then started eating himself.
Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, Gu Xueting couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Gu Xi silently looked away to avoid being filled with dog food.
Gu Xueting took out the roasted water chestnuts and began to peel them.
Fresh water chestnuts are sweet, tender and crispy, but roasted water chestnuts have a different flavor. They are just difficult to eat because the skin is not easy to peel.
Gu Xueting didn't mind the trouble. He used tweezers to peel off the outer layer of the fruit peel little by little. After peeling one fruit, he placed it on a plate beside him. Shen Yizi could take it whenever he wanted to eat it.
As he peeled the fruit, he slowly returned to the previous topic: "Now is not the best time to take action, so please be patient."
This sentence has already made his position clear.
Gu Xi's heart suddenly settled down.
