118 Hou Mansion Reward Lotus (1)

Emperor Wen of Wei gently put down the thick memorial, looked up at the court officials standing below, and did not speak for a long time.

The court officials were not sure, so no one saw any memorials written on Gu An, but they felt a little chilling on their backs and a bad feeling of hesitation.

Sun Ying, who has been with Emperor Wen of Wei for many years, is naturally literate. He only glanced at him for a few seconds and knew that this matter would not be good today. When he looked at the emperor's face, he knew that the emperor was angry.

Sun Ying stood beside Emperor Wen with his eyes and his nose and his heart, holding his hands. No one looked at him, let alone wink at anyone. He knew that there would be a major change in the court after today, especially the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works, where the people from these two departments would suffer. Gu An, who did all this, was more valued by the emperor. He had a bright future in the future and his rise was unstoppable.

Emperor Wen of Wei didn't say anything for a quarter of an hour, but looked at the court officials below one by one. Each one looked carefully and finally looked at Gu An again.

"Does Gu Aiqing have evidence?"

In fact, Emperor Wen of Wei knew it very well, and what Gu An said was probably true.

It is almost everyone knows how much food and salary is allocated to the border every time. Not to mention the court, even the ladies in the back house know it.

The weapons sent to the border were not received by Gu An alone. So many soldiers saw more than one or two. Just grab two of them and you can tell that what Gu An said is not false.

There is also the robbery sent back to Beijing by Gu Zhehan and Gu Yan was robbed halfway. He knew about this, but after checking for several months, he still found nothing. Those people were missing, as if they had never appeared before, which made people have to think deeply.

As for the newly arrived spoils, I believe Gu An also got some news, otherwise he would not have to check the accounts.

Gu An bowed and said, "I will report to the emperor, and the ministers have all the evidence."

Gu An took out four accounts from his official robe and handed them to Sun Ying.

"Emperor, these are the account books recorded by the Wei Memorial when he was appointed as the border guard and the temporary General Zhongwu. The last twenty copies of the book were signed by the border generals, and they can be witnessed by the Wei Memorial. What I said is true. In addition, the third book contains the spoils shipped back to Beijing twice, and there are some things clearly recorded on it. Please read them."

After Gu An finished speaking, he respectfully bowed to Emperor Wen of Wei, took two steps back and returned to his position.

The court officials were frightened and understood from Gu An's few words about what Gu An wrote in the memorial to Emperor Wen of Wei.

It is not difficult to analyze from the content that someone in the court swallowed the spoils transported by Gu An from the barbarians. The meaning of the first two sentences is that Gu An recorded the accounts of the border, which proves that there are differences in the accounts of the border.

The border accounts are nothing more than food, wages and weapons. So what is recorded in this account book is not simple.

The court officials reacted and looked to the direction where the Minister of Revenue was. Seeing that his face was as white as paper, he felt cold sweat immediately.

Emperor Wen of Wei closed his eyes and stayed silent for a while, and when he opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with clear light.

"What a good minister, the parents of the people, who are the officials, who are the officials?"

After saying that, he threw all the memorials from the account book, including Gu An, on the head of the Minister of Revenue, pointing at the Minister of Revenue's nose, cursing.

"Good Minister of Revenue, Qin Aiqing, you are really a good family for me and a good family for the Great Wei! Come here! Take Qinshan to Dali Temple, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice, and appoint Dali Temple Minister Liu Mingyi as the imperial envoy, and lead the imperial guards and Yulong Guard to investigate and deal with the people listed on the list. All those who have embezzled and accepted bribes will be taken down and taken to the capital for trial. The Minister of Works suspended all his posts, went home and thought about his mistakes, and waited for the Ministry of Justice to verify before talking."

Qin Shan closed his eyes and knelt on the Golden Palace, tears flowing.

It's over, it's all over. Not only can he not save his life, but he may be implicated by him.

Emperor Wen of Wei was furious in the Golden Palace and dealt with Qin Shan, the Minister of Revenue of the Ministry of Revenue, and ordered the Minister of Works to go home. He urgently dispatched the imperial guards and the Dragon Guard to the six prefectures in the border town to verify according to the list given by Gu An.

Everyone in the court was in danger, because they were afraid of finding their heads, because they didn't know whose name Gu An wrote in the memorial, and everyone was terrified.

In less than an hour, everyone in the capital learned about the news. All the mansions of the aristocratic families held urgent meetings, hid all the shameful money and things in the family, and then sorted out the accounts to strive for the beautiful things.

All the officials in the capital were so angry that they hated Gu An, but they had to smile at him, for fear that he would hold a grudge, so they would give them a cruel thing.

No matter what they thought, Gu Ancai felt that he had a clear conscience about what he had done.

When he found out that the accounts at the border were incorrect, he could no longer find relevant evidence, so he had to put aside his previous affairs, so after taking over, Gu An took the lead and investigated every transaction of the money clearly. He only reported to Emperor Wen of Wei one day to seek justice for the soldiers of the border.

The old Qu clan set the rules that he would pay his respects twice a day. The morning is the hour of Chen and the hour of You must not be missing at night. Otherwise, the old Qu clan would think that you are disrespectful to her, and sarcasm is indispensable, and punishment for copying Buddhist scriptures is also indispensable. If you dare to talk back, you will be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. Therefore, the waiter gathers twice a day, and no one dares not come.

The second house and family were allowed to rest for a few days by the old Qu family. Tang was in poor health and didn't have to pay tribute, but Gu Yan couldn't. She just couldn't move her legs, but she was fine. Therefore, she had to pay tribute to the old Qu family every day after returning to Beijing five days.

The old Qu family's rule made Gu Yan miserable. He had to face the old Qu family's evil deeds and Gu Rui's resentful face every day, and he had to guess what Yu was saying and said, and he was not even in the mood to run and practice martial arts every morning.

Fortunately, Gu Yan has a good mentality and adapted after adjusting for half a month.

The matter in the court has not yet begun, but the lotus-reward banquet at Wu'an Hou Mansion is about to begin.

The Wu'an Hou Mansion, like the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, both started with military achievements. The first generation of Wu'an Hou and Dingyuan Hou were good friends. The two families were mostly moved, and it was not until Gu Shuyu's generation that he became a little distant.

On the third day of the eighth month, the hottest time of the year, the lotus-welfare banquet in Wu'an Hou Mansion was set up on the pond corridor of Hou Mansion. The light gauze curtains and golden cups and jade plates were extremely luxurious.

Early in the morning, Gu Yan was pressed by Mei Xiang and Ju Xiang to dress up. After washing, she applied her face and massaged her face. The two girls were having fun dressing up, but Gu Yan couldn't see a smile.

Mei Xiang and Ju Xiang had long been used to Gu Yan's cold face, and they didn't care. They just dressed up their little master as a lady. After a while, their head shape changed and greeted Gu Yan's head. In the end, they had to give up because they thought that Gu Yan hadn't even tried to wear a hairpin, and they could only have a double bun.

Gu Yan glanced at them slightly with a squinted look.

Mei Xiang and Ju Xiang knew it well, so they had to combed her in a single bun and wrapped it with a red ribbon on it.

"Fortunately, the newly made small animal made of gold was matched with the baby sent by the wife, otherwise I wouldn't be able to find a match for it."

Gu Yan looked at the newly made dogs on the back of her head, and her mouth twitched, wishing she could pull it away immediately.

Five cute little foxes stood, lying, raised their heads or laughing, lined up in a row, surrounded by a single bun and tied between Gu Yan's hair. They didn't look at Gu Yan, and the accessories on their heads were so cute that they made people touch them. But with Gu Yan's heroic appearance and cold face, they all changed, and they were inconsistent no matter how they looked.

Mei Xiang and Ju Xiang looked at Gu Yan and the five foxes on her head with a confused look on their faces. Finally, they had to admit that the wife's thoughts were in vain.

At this moment, Shuxiang walked in, glanced at the five foxes on Gu Yan's head, and stood aside without saying a word.

Juxiang's eyes lit up, and she immediately pulled Shuxiang behind Gu Yan, pointed at Gu Yan in the bronze mirror and asked, "How? Is the lady very beautiful?"

Shu Xiang glanced at him again, "Ugly."

Juxiang covered her eyes after hearing this, "I knew it would be like this. What kind of identity is there for you when you have nothing to do? OK, okay, okay, go quickly, don't get up here."

She really had no choice. The lady said there were four girls around her, but the two sisters were guards and they were good at fighting. But when it comes to serving people, it was better to take care of them by the lady.

It's still a few years before they have practiced a little, and at least they can do it by combing their hair and changing clothes. Don't think about anything else.

Of course, hair combing is limited to single buns, clothes are limited to men's clothing, women's clothing can be barely worn, and skirts are limited to. No matter how complicated it is, don't think about it.

Mei Xiang pulled Shuxiang with a confused face and whispered: "Sister Shuxiang, Sister Juxiang took a lot of effort to get it done."

Shuxiang was even more confused, "What's the difficulty of composing your hair every day?"

Juxiang's face suddenly became bad, and she stared at Shuxiang darkly.

Mei Xiang carefully glanced at Juxiang, then pulled Shuxiang away, and lowered her voice and said, "Sister Juxiang has changed seven or eight styles, and finally decided to comb this one."

Shuxiang looked confused, "You can comb other than double buns and single buns? Why don't I know?"

Where did the seven or eight hairstyles come from? I haven’t heard of them!

Mei Xiang twitched the corners of her mouth and turned her head to see Ju Xiang.

Juxiang's little face was about to twist into a trick, she glared at Shuxiang fiercely, and helped Gu Yan get into a wheelchair and leave Jingxin Pavilion.

Gu Yan has always been accompanied by her sisters Shuxiang and Moxiang. This time, Shuxiang pushed Gu Yan and Moxiang came out of the corner gate of Houfu with a bag.

Gu Yan hadn't arrived yet, and even Yu and Xiao Qu did not come. Only Gu Zhehan and Gu Wenhua and the Gu Mansion were waiting outside the door. When they saw Gu Yan coming out first, they smiled at her kindly.

Gu Yan glanced at Gu Zhehan, and Gu Zhehan blinked at her. Gu Yan smiled secretly, but there was no expression on the surface.

Gu Yan was helped into the last carriage and said that it was repurchased by Gu An, but in fact Gu An pulled it back from the secret house. The outside was not visible, but the inside was designed according to the original carriage Gu Yan and Tang.

Gu Yanshu leaned comfortably on the carriage, picked up a book and started reading it.

It didn't take long, and Gu Rui, Gu Yu, Gu Fei and Gu Ying were all here. Shuxiang picked up the curtain and took a look and put it down.

"Master, they all got on the car. One got on the prince's wife's carriage, and the other three sat together. Miss Gu Yin did not come, nor did the fourth wife."

Gu Yan said "um" casually, without even raising one of her head, let alone taking a look outside.

Several men from the Gu family escorted the female family to Wu'an Hou Mansion. Gu Wenhua and Gu Wenhao were guarding Yu's carriage on the left and right. Gu Wenhu, Gu Wenyuan and Gu Wenbin were born in vain. They were one step behind the two brothers in front and guarded Gu Yu's carriage. Only Gu Zhehan walked beside Gu Yan's carriage on a chair with a tall horse. However, judging from the temperament of the six Gu family brothers, although Gu Zhehan was at the end, he had the best temperament and the most attractive one.

Wu'an Hou Mansion is not far from Dingyuan Hou Mansion, but it arrived at the gate of Wu'an Hou Mansion in half an hour. Before the carriage could stop, a man in his forties who looked like a manager quickly walked up to him and bowed his hands.

"I dare to ask, but the lady from Dingyuan Hou Mansion has arrived?"

Gu Wenhua nodded proudly, "Yes, are you?"

The manager of the Hou Mansion in Wu'an didn't care about Gu Wenhua's attitude. He was a slave, no matter how handsome he was, he could not escape his identity as a slave. He was the prince of the Hou Mansion, and no matter how unsupported he was, he had a noble status and was normal to be arrogant.

"The villain's surname is Ma, and he is the dowry manager of the prince's wife of the Wu'an Houfu. The prince's wife ordered the villain to wait here. I asked me to take a few young masters to the front yard to rest for a while, and then go to the garden when the lotus feast officially begins."

Gu Wenhua nodded, "Okay, it's just my mother and sister..."

Manager Ma immediately said, "You don't have to worry, the prince. My wife said that the carriage from Dingyuan Hou Mansion can be directly entered and parked at the second gate. There is a special manager mother who will lead all the wives and ladies in there."

Gu Wenhua felt relieved when he heard this, got off the horse and walked to the Yu carriage and whispered a few words. Yu responded twice in a low voice, and the carriage moved again.

Before leaving, Gu Zhehan said "Be careful" next to Gu Yan's carriage, and then followed Gu Wenhua and the others into the Wu'an Hou Mansion.

Gu Yan sat in the carriage without saying a word, and she didn't even put down the book in her hand, and she still read her books with peace of mind. Even the sisters Shuxiang and Moxiang looked calm, as if they were not going to attend a banquet, but went to the street for a walk and then went home.

After entering the second gate, the carriage stopped, Yu's voice came from the front, and the fragrance of books finally realized it.

"Master, I heard that you need to perform your talents when attending such banquets. Are you ready?"

Gu Yan said calmly: "I'm not an actor."

Want her to perform a show? Who has such a big face? Who has such a big face to perform? After all, she is also a county lord. Even if all the ladies have to perform, as long as she doesn't want to, who can stand her?

Shuxiang felt relieved when she heard this, and jumped out of the carriage first, held the solid wood wheelchair Gu Yan was sitting on in one hand and put it on the ground, lifted the curtain of the car to wait for Gu Yan to get off the car.

Shuxiang didn't notice that she showed her skills and asked the many ladies and ladies who were waiting at the second gate to line up to see her, staring at her in shock, and when she looked at the carriage along her gaze, she was shocked and confused.

Who can tell them where these two maids were found? Can you even go on the street to perform with such strength?
