A graceful figure was led in by a maidservant.

Nanyan sat at the table, a little solemn, and also looked at this Henan celebrity with a little curiosity, speaking of which, it was his uncle.

Actually, the two of them had never met.

This is the first time she has seen Gu Tingqiu, like his sister, his appearance is also excellent, although he is more than middle-aged, he has an elegant temperament and a handsome appearance, giving people a very shrewd feeling.

In particular, he is dressed in a simple long robe, which does not look luxurious, but reveals a faint elegance.

This is the style of Baume & Mercier.

He walked in and respectfully bowed to Nanyan: "Female officer." ”

Nanyan also hurriedly got up, but when he called it, he hesitated.

But she thought about it for a while, and still said softly: "Uncle is polite." ”

Hearing her say that, a little smile appeared on Gu Tingqiu's face.

Nanyan raised his hand to the stool on the other side: "Please take a seat." ”

Gu Tingqiu walked over and sat down.

The two of them faced each other, and they still didn't know what to say, because although they were relatives, they didn't understand it at all, and Gu Tingqiu was also the first time to see this niece who had been oppressed since childhood, and now in the palace, she was already the niece of a big celebrity in front of the emperor.

It seems that she is soft and weak, and she is not a very good person, but in those eyes, there is a lean ability that ordinary women do not have.

Compared with that niece, this Si Nanyan is really much stronger.

He said: "This time I came, it was a bit presumptuous. ”

Nanyan personally made him a cup of tea and sent it to the table, and said, "I don't know if my uncle came to see me, what's the matter?" ”

"It's nothing, I heard that my niece followed the emperor to guard Beiping this time, and went through a lot of hardships, I don't know if it's okay."

"Thank you uncle, I'm fine."

"Is it okay to walk along the way?"

"It's okay, it's just that it's more difficult to cross the Yellow River."

"This year's ice ...... early"

……

The two of them said something that didn't matter.

Nanyan didn't even need to look at Gu Tingqiu's words, just from the fact that he would come to see him, he knew that even if he had no purpose, he had a certain reason for meeting him this time.

Therefore, she was not in a hurry, and only chatted with Gu Tingqiu slowly.

After chatting for a while, Gu Tingqiu also seemed to feel that Si Nanyan was chatting along with his words, and didn't ask him why he was here.

It seems that this niece is very shrewd and patient.

He looked up at this gorgeous room and said with a smile: "This courtyard is a resting place built by the Duke of Chengguo for the emperor. ”

Nanyan nodded: "Yes." ”

"We have all heard that Cheng Guogong used a lot of manpower and material resources to build this annex, and he searched for these rare treasures everywhere."

"Really?"

"It's a pity that I may not be able to please the emperor."

Nanyan's eyebrows raised slightly: "Oh? How can my uncle see it? ”

Gu Tingqiu smiled and said: "The emperor has been in the army, and military life has always been very difficult, and I heard that the use in the palace is also very simple, so it can be seen that the emperor does not like a luxurious life." ”

“……”

"This courtyard, this house, I'm afraid the emperor doesn't like it."

“……”

Nanyan looked at Gu Tingqiu for a while, and said with a faint smile: "Uncle is wise." ”

"What a discernment, it's just that I have heard a lot of news."

"So, has my uncle heard anything interesting?"

Gu Tingqiu looked at her with a smile and said, "I heard that the female official is extremely favored by the emperor. ”

Nanyan smiled faintly: "It's just a rumor." ”

Gu Tingqiu glanced at her and said with a smile: "Whether it is a false rumor or not, the so-called single tree is difficult to make a forest, and the female official is by the emperor's side - when she is on an errand, she should also need some people to help and install some good things." ”

“……”

Nanyan looked at him.

Gu Tingqiu took out a small purse from his sleeve and put it on the table and pushed it in front of her.

Nanyan didn't pick it up, just glanced at it: "Uncle, what do you mean?" ”

Gu Tingqiu smiled and said: "Please don't misunderstand the female official, this is just some subsidies given to you by your family, you must always work up and down when you are a person and do things in the palace, and the female official cannot be penniless." ”

Nanyan said: "No merit is not punished." ”

Gu Tingqiu said: "This is what outsiders are saying. ”

“……”

"The merit of one's own family is only in the strength of one's own family."

“……”

Nanyan didn't speak again, just looked at him quietly for a while.

Then he said: "When I left Jinling before, I once received a silver ticket of one hundred taels from home, and now it seems that it should be a gift from my uncle." ”

Gu Tingqiu smiled and said, "I also know that I can't hide it from the female official." ”

“……”

"You don't have to tell who it is, though."

“……”

"The female official only thinks that it is a subsidy for her family."

“……”

Nanyan looked at him and smiled slightly.

Gu Tingqiu's words have been made very clear, he is indeed helping his family reconcile with her.

The so-called single tree is difficult to make a forest, she is alone in the palace, even if she is a concubine, in fact, the road is difficult to walk.

That's why Zhu Feng said that after she went back, she would install her family members as officials in the court.

Actually, it's the same thing.

Nanyan picked up the purse and felt that there were a lot of things in it, and she said with a smile: "Come for profit, is it family?" ”

Gu Tingqiu looked at her for a while, and said seriously: "Family, mutual benefit." ”

“……”

This sentence made Nanyan silent for a while.

Indeed, in this thought, it is too difficult for a person to survive in isolation from the world, and many large families and clans are all living together, in addition to the relationship of blood and kinship, a big reason is also because they can be mutually beneficial.

In the final analysis, if she is a concubine, if there is a trustworthy person in the court, it will also be beneficial for her to survive in the harem.

However, the premise is -

Trustworthy people.

Nanyan thought quietly for a long time, then smiled faintly and said, "This, I can accept it." ”

“……”

"However, whether it can be mutually beneficial depends on whether there is mutually beneficial capital."

“……”

"After all, the emperor has to use people to use them."

When Gu Tingqiu heard her words, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled and said, "It's natural. ”

The two of them gossiped a few more words, naturally they couldn't say too deeply, after all, this time, it was just a preliminary union, and soon, Gu Tingqiu took his leave.

When he left, Nanyan picked up the purse, opened it and looked at it, startled.

Five silver tickets, each for one thousand taels.

A whole five thousand taels of silver!

All of a sudden, from being penniless to having a huge sum of money, her whole person was a little fluttering.

Look up at the furnishings in the room.

How much can you smash!

This uncle is really generous!

At this moment, Zhu Feng came back, saw her holding a purse, and was so excited that her face turned red, and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”
