139 Gu Huai Cheng Jue (1)
The emperor did not like her and would not let her marry any prince, even the heir he recognized could not be. Because Gu An was a capable minister and could lead troops to fight. If she married a certain prince, she would face a situation where the power of the foreign relatives was too great in the future. He would worry that the Luo family's country would be usurped by the foreign relatives, or that his son would be controlled by the Gu family, which would be unfavorable to the Wei Dynasty.
So she would not enter the palace, at least the emperor is not that interested now, otherwise she would not have been appointed as the county magistrate to appease her father. Later, she was appointed as the princess because of the painting and her record.
"The emperor may also have a headache now. I don't know which prince it is better to pass it to. The emperor has four princes, all of whom are determined to compete for the title. Each of them wants to sit in that position. Unfortunately, there is only one seat. I'm afraid the battle for the throne will be extremely dangerous. Dad should be careful."
Gu An smiled, "Don't worry, being pulled over means that your father is capable and has the capital to win over. As long as I stick to my original intention and don't participate in it, they will have no choice. Now the best way for them to win over me is to have your two marriages, but the emperor will not let them succeed. I am afraid that your father will not be able to decide your marriage."
Gu Yan and Gu Zhehan looked at each other, frowned, and both of them lowered their heads and thought.
The current queen has no son and only one daughter by her side, which is the eldest princess Luo Wanqing. She knew that no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, she would respect her as the empress dowager. Therefore, the empress did not interfere in the dispute between several princes at all, and only took care of Emperor Wen of Wei's daily life and served the empress dowager today.
Emperor Wen of Wei was very fair to his four sons. The mothers of all the princes were no exception and were no longer named as the fourth concubine. They were not named as the imperial concubine. They were each named as the four concubines, including the virtuous, Liang, Shu and De. The four princes were all small families outside the family, and were small officials of the sixth and seventh ranks, so they were all young ladies from the fifth and sixth ranks of officials. Therefore, the princes could be said to have no background and were all bare commanders.
If they want to win the emperor, they must win over the ministers in the court, strive to improve their reputation in the court, and be able to win people with virtue. The other is to take women with family backgrounds as concubines to achieve their goals.
Tang looked at it for a while and saw that it was getting late, so he asked the two of them to go back.
As soon as Gu Yan returned to Jingxin Pavilion, Youming jumped off the roof and half-kneeled to report, "Master, the god of death is back."
Gu Yan nodded and let the god of death come in to see her.
Death God Yi (she) was covered in blood, wearing a silver ghost face, a soft sword wrapped around his waist, and a pair of red soft-soled boots under his feet fell lightly to the ground, and half-kneeled in front of Gu Yan like Youming, dared not look up, lowered his head and said, "Master, Death God is here to report."
Gu Yan glanced at him lightly, "How is the matter done?"
The god of death replied, "The shop has been found and the decoration has been completed, and the people have been recruited almost the same. Only the personnel training and the kitchen staff are not in place."
Gu Yan thought for a while, "Get up, death, snacks for restaurants. From now on, it will be a stronghold for blood killing in the capital. Don't be exposed. Based on my observation of the emperor, he is a wise monarch and a cruel monarch. The depth of his mind is beyond your imagination. Don't show his numb feet. If he catches him, we will all be finished."
"Master, don't worry, there is only one person in charge of contact in the restaurant who works as a mate inside, and the others are all recruited from outside. Even the shopkeeper is not ours, and no one knows that you are the master behind it."
"Well, it's all right to be careful. Let our people act carefully. Try not to enter the capital if they are killed by blood. The water in the capital is too deep and it has not been fully understood yet, so it should not be exposed."
"Yes, my subordinates must be careful, please don't worry, my master."
Gu Yan nodded, "If you have nothing to do, go back. Come here if you have something to do. If you have something to do, come and find me if you have something to do.
"Yes, my subordinates will leave now."
After the death, the god of death flashed and left Gu Yan's room. Gu Yan looked up at the closed door, lowered her head to look at the Netherworld.
"What did everyone you asked you to check a few days ago?"
"When I go back to my master, both scholars were poor. The scholar who played chess was named Wu, named Wu Tong. He was twenty-four years old this year. He was honest and honest. He often helped his neighbors. Several scientific exams were delayed by filial piety. Now his family is now in poverty and has not yet gotten married. Even the money for the competition could not be paid, and one of his classmates paid him for it. This time, he came to the competition to show his face in front of the emperor. Unexpectedly, he was not a match for the master.
Another scholar is Jiang Yan. This scholar is average, but he is very good at pairs. After a few days of observation, he is now in debt and his family is no longer in trouble. Moreover, his wife has also hooked up with a gangster on the street. If there is no accident, he may have to elope recently."
Gu Yan narrowed her eyes and lowered her head to think.
Wu Tong is the person she likes. She is young and has outstanding talent and can move forward bravely without fear of difficulties. She is a rare good seedling. If she is funded, she will soon soar. But she is not happy with his (sex xg) character. She is too stubborn and has to be tempered. Fortunately, time is too late. If she can take the scientific examination in two years, she will give him ten or eight years. Maybe she can become a great help to her father and brother in the court. Even if she can't help a lot, she can lay a nail among the civil servants and use it later.
She was not interested in Jiang Yan's affairs. She just wanted to look at him and find out whether he was a time traveler from his every move. Now it seems that his behavior is normal and should be far from what she wants.
"Wu Tong finds someone to support him, so that he can prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and then talk about it after passing the imperial examination. Please pay more attention to Jiang Yan, you don't have to do anything, just watch it carefully, organize all his usual actions and words into a book and leave it to me for review."
Youming was not confused and agreed, "Yes, I will let you do this."
Gu Yan nodded, "Let the brothers below be alert, even if they are lurking, they must be like a little bit. Get married when they should get married, and get married when they should get married. Don't delay your life. If you need my help, just squeak it. Those who can help you will definitely help."
"On behalf of all the brothers, I thank my master for his grace."
Youming looked at Gu Yan gratefully, knelt on his legs and kowtowed at Gu Yan three times, got up and left Jingxin Pavilion.
After Youming left, Gu Yan stayed for a while, and carefully recalled the past month's past, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out. She felt that she had done something too much and was too uncautionary. She must pay attention to her temper in the future and should not be so impulsive.
Gu Yan calmed down and exhaled a long sigh, got up (shēn) and walked out, walked around the row of rooms where she lived to a peach forest behind the house, pulled out the soft sword from her waist and danced gently.
Peach leaves flew, and lightly tapped their toes. After a few turns, Gu Yan's shadow was lost in the peach forest. A red shadow appeared and disappeared sometimes. With every appearance, a large number of leaves fell, but they flew up one after another, flying around her shadow.
Gu Yan was sweating freely in the peach forest. A large number of leaves rose and fell, led by the tip of her sword, formed a long dragon. As she moved in shape, the leaves scattered after Gu Yan had a strong force, and with one sword, hundreds of leaves flew towards the peaches on the tree. Peaches as big as babies fists fell under the tree as each leaf flew over, and at the same time, hundreds of leaves flew out, hitting the target again.
After using a set of the homemade plum blossom fallen leaves sword technique, the peaches fell on the peach woodland. Gu Yan picked up one and rubbed it on it, put it in her mouth and took a bite.
"Not bad, full of honey, rich peach fragrance, and book fragrance. Leave some peaches and send the rest to my mother tomorrow."
While standing still, Shu Xiang bowed (she) and said, "Yes, Master."
Gu Yan returned to the room after eating a peach. Juxiang and Meixiang had already prepared the medicinal bath and cows for her, and Liu's mother was waiting in the bathroom.
"Miss, please take a medicine bath first. After soaking, I will give you a massage and relax your muscles."
Gu Yan twisted her neck, "Okay, I'm tired."
It’s not that I’m tired of exercising, but that these (Japanese) people can’t get out of the Hou Mansion every day, and people are rusted, and they feel that something is wrong with their bodies, so they’re tired of staying.
Mother Liu smiled and took off Gu Yan's clothes and helped her into the bathtub.
"The skin on the lady (she) has been kept white and tender for many years. When you said it, I didn't believe it, but now I believe it. Now I don't envy you when I go out. Miss Six in the yard has red eyes with jealous eyes. Every time I see the lady, I feel like I have seen an enemy."
Mei Xiang was trimming Gu Yan's nails. After hearing Liu's mother's words, she curled her lips disdainfully, "Who cares about her? She always feels like she owes her 80,000 taels of silver. She doesn't have a good face when she sees the lady. I think she is not only jealous of the lady being better than her, but also jealous of the lady being better than her everywhere. Who is our lady? Miss? Is it the hero who defeated the young talent in Beijing? Is she able to compare with Miss? We can't be as knowledgeable as her, which has reduced your character, and, what are you talking about?"
Gu Yan closed her eyes and said casually, "style."
"Yes, that's it. Although I don't understand what style is, what the lady said must be right."
Gu Yan didn't know what to say about Mei Xiang's extremely trust and admiration. In fact, she wanted to say it, but she didn't say it if she didn't understand it.
Juxiang heard Meixiang's discussion behind her back, Miss Six was so angry that she reached out and slapped her. Meixiang made her "snar" and rubbed her back and looked at her with a resentful look.
"Sister Juxiang, it hurts very much. I broke me, who will serve the lady?"
Ju Xiang glared at her with a scent, "Master is also the sixth lady who you can discuss, no matter how bad the lady is, she is the lady of the Hou Mansion. If someone hears it, isn't it difficult for the lady to do it? A reputation for not being strict in the governance of the country is a burden. If you don't think about yourself, don't be afraid of the (she) blooming, you have to think about it. It's hard enough for the lady in this Hou Mansion. If you can't help, forget it, and cause trouble for her."
Mei Xiang pouted aggrievedly and said, "Okay, I know, Miss, I am wrong, I shouldn't cause trouble for you."
Gu Yan never opened her eyes. She knew that Mei Xiang was so loyal to her, but the Houfu was not suitable for her. Her straightforwardness and loyalty to her sometimes hurt her. Therefore, when Ju Xiang was teaching her, she did not object, but she did not want her to change her and become deeper.
"No defense, just be careful next time. Remember, be careful of the ears passing through the window at any time. Your inattention may bring endless disasters to you and those around you."
Mei Xiang knelt on the ground with red eyes, "Miss, I will remember, I will never talk much next time."
Gu Yan opened her eyes and looked at Mei Xiang, "Silly girl, you have been with me for so many years. I don't know what you are (sex xg) I don't know what I don't want you to change, but we can't let go of our vigilance here. Be careful. Mei Xiang, get up, remember, you have to be careful when you speak in this yard, just wait for us to go out."
Meixiang nodded, got up from the ground, gave Gu Yan a nail and never spoke again.
Gu Yan washed up and lay down to rest, leaving Juxiang to watch the night. The others cleaned up the bathroom and went back to the lower room to rest.
I ran and did boxing in the morning, learned rules in the morning to be a girl, practiced calligraphy, drawing and reading in the afternoon, and practiced swords in the evening. (Sun Ri) passed day by day, and it was less than ten days before Gu Shuyu asked Gu Huai Chengjue's will to come down.
On the day the order arrived at Hou Mansion, Gu Huaile's mouth tilted, his eyes narrowed into a slit. Seeing Gu An's eyes seemed to grow on the top of his head, Gu Shuyu, who looked disdainful, turned back to the former study room.
Old Qu was also disgusted by Gu Huai's mud and could not get on the wall, so he simply returned to Rong'antang and stayed in the door.
Gu Huai and Yu didn't care about that. After two days of joy, they decided to hold a banquet and invited families in Beijing to come to Dingyuan Hou Mansion to gather to add joy.
Yu arranged the banquet quickly and planned to be held in Dingyuan Hou Mansion on September 16th. He also specifically informed Tang that his family should stay in Hou Mansion that day and not go out.
Yu's show of pride made Tang feel so angry, but for the surface harmony of Hou's family, he had to deal with her and agreed to her request, but he did not say that he would definitely be there.
Tang smiled and sent Yu away, then sneered.
"My wife is not good enough to go, Yan'er can't show up, the second master trains soldiers in Beidaying, but has no time to participate in this matter. Zhe Ge'er is the emperor's imperial guard, and he is on duty in the palace every day. Without the emperor's will, he dare not leave the palace casually. This palace banquet, haha."
Tang rolled his eyes at Yu's back, and Zhao's mother smiled and pushed Tang into the house.
Yu left Baifang Garden with satisfaction, and then called the shopkeeper of the most famous Caiyi Pavilion in the capital, made new clothes for Gu Rui and three concubines, and put them on decorations. Only then did he send the person away with satisfaction.
