Chapter 91: Sincerity (Two More)
Chapter 91 Sincerity (two more)
Mrs. Wei Guo couldn’t stand her husband’s perfunctory behavior anymore, so she took Fang Qing’s handkerchief again and helped him wipe off the remaining blood on his face.
When approached, Mrs. Wei Guogong suddenly felt something was wrong, the movement of her hand stopped, she looked down and said, “Your stomach…”
Being reminded by her like this, Duke Wei felt like he was in a daze, and finally figured out why he felt something was wrong when he was in Tianyin Pavilion.
It turned out that his general was missing… No, it should be said that his belly became flat.
The couple were face to face, eyes to eyes, nose to nose, and did not speak for a while.
Mrs. Wei Guogong couldn’t help moving her hand down and rubbed it on Duke Wei’s belly. Only then did she make sure that the old man’s big belly was really gone.
Thinking of the black and red blood on the ground in the private seat, Mrs. Wei Guogong suddenly realized: The old man vomited out the filth that has been accumulating in his stomach for more than 20 years!
“God!” Mrs. Wei Guogong sighed sincerely.
That sweaty BMW can only be regarded as an apology, and it is far from enough as a consultation fee.
Mrs. Wei Guogong thought for a while, then opened the small curtain in front of the carriage and called Chang Sui’s name: “A Fu.”
“Madam?” Chang Sui who was sitting on the carriage outside hurriedly turned around.
“Go and find out who the girl in Tianyin Pavilion is with the eldest prince.” Mrs. Wei Guogong ordered, and specially warned, “Don’t disturb others lightly.”
The long followed the orders again and again, respectfully.
It is not difficult for the Duke of Wei to inquire about a person, and Gu Yanfei did not deliberately hide her identity. She wore men’s clothes to go out not to avoid people’s eyes and eyes, but just for convenience.
In the evening, the long follower, Ah Fu, came to the Duke and his wife to report: “Master Guo, ma’am, the girl from Tianyin Pavilion is the second girl from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.”
Duke Wei leaned lazily on the couch, holding a large bowl with blue flowers on a white background, frowning at the steaming brown soup. This soup looks so bitter!
“Gu Family?” Mrs. Wei Guogong heard the words, and the tea cup in her hand stopped in mid-air in astonishment.
She had never seen such a girl in the Gu family, nor had she heard of it.
Among the girls of the Dingyuan Hou residence generation, she only knew one Gu Yunqiang.
Gu Yunmao is the daughter of Gu Ce, the Marquis of Xian Dingyuan. She has excellent luck. She competes with others and never falls behind. When she draws lots, she is always on top. There are countless people who have benefited from her… Few anecdotes and anecdotes about her good fortune, even her mother-in-law’s eldest sister-in-law praised Gu Yunchan in front of her as a person of great fortune.
Not only is she lucky, but Gu Yuncong also has some talent. She is outstanding in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and poetry. Such a girl’s family does have the capital of arrogance. Therefore, she was designated as Kang by Empress Dowager Yuan a few days ago. Princess, there is a feeling of emotion between the houses, and no one speaks sour words.
When Mrs. Wei Guogong was a guest in Beppu, she also glanced at Gu Yunchang from a distance.
Chang Sui nodded and continued to report, “It is said that it is the daughter of Gu’s family who was lost in the past. She was just found in October. Her name is Yan Fei.”
“Is this girl also the daughter of Gu Ce and Xie’s?” Mrs. Wei Guo said in surprise.
Mrs. Wei Guo vaguely remembered that Xie Shi had been dead for more than ten years, and the appearance of Xie Shi in her memory became a little vague. Now that I think about it carefully, it is indeed somewhat similar to that girl.
But if she remembered correctly, the Xie family had only one son and one daughter.
“It’s the daughter of the Marquis Xian Dingyuan and his wife.” Chang Sui explained again, “It is said that the girl Gu Yuncong is not a girl from Gu’s family room, and has now adopted the name of the second room.”
Mrs. Wei Guo frowned, what a mess! ?
do not understand.
In short, Gu Yanfei is the daughter of Gu Ce and the Xie family, that’s all right.
In her thoughts, she gave Duke Wei a light side glance.
Wei Guogong was so excited that he didn’t dare to write any more ink, he poured the soup down with a bitter face, and said vaguely: “Gu Ce is amazing, he is a rare general, but it’s a pity to defeat the enemy… ”
The Southern Yue Kingdom has always been ambitious. Eight years ago, the Yue Kingdom once again sent an army of 100,000 troops to raid the southern border of Dajing.
Xian Dingyuan Marquis Gu Ce guarded Yangzhou with 50,000 troops.
At that time, the late emperor and those noble family masters, Wei Guogong, Gu Ce and other nobles and nobles dominated the war, and those poor family officials were either fighting or reconciling, and they were uncertain.
The late emperor wanted to make peace with the Yue Kingdom, but he did not order reinforcements to Yangzhou for a long time. Gu Ce managed to hold on for three months. After all, he was forced to open the gate to the Yue Kingdom…
However, the Yue people were unconvinced and beheaded Gu Ce.
When the late emperor heard that Gu Ce had surrendered to the enemy, the thunder was furious, and he almost took the title of the Marquis of Dingyuan, but Gu Yunxiang, the daughter of Gu Ce, who was only six years old, saved King Kang during the rebellion in Yangzhou and made up for it.
The late emperor thought about it, and finally, bypassed Gu Ce’s eldest son, Gu Yuan, and passed the title of Marquis Dingyuan to Gu Jian of the second room.
Thinking of these past events, Duke Wei felt a little sigh in his heart, and sighed: “It shouldn’t be like this…”
If the late emperor sent troops to support Yangzhou in time, why would Gu Ce be forced into a corner and even surrender to the enemy!
All the wise and wise are ruined.
Although Duke Wei didn’t say anything about the late emperor, but Mrs. Wei could hear what her husband was saying, and sneered at the corner of her lower lips, “The late emperor was a fool!”
Emperor Taizu was a romantic figure, but unfortunately several sons were all mediocre, none of them had the style of their father.
Duke Wei stroked his beard and sighed, “Gu Ce’s son Gu Yuan…it’s not easy.”
He still remembered that in the autumn of the previous year, Gu Yuan accompanied the Imperial Army to the coast to clear up Japanese pirates, and made great contributions. He should have been able to rise to at least two levels, but in the end he did not receive a single reward from the late emperor. The reason is obvious.
Duke Wei’s status is noble, and it is a great honor for Gu Yuan to let Duke Wei remember his name.
Mrs. Wei Guo raised her heroic eyebrows and said with a smile: “It seems that just like that girl, she is also a good boy.”
Duke Wei pondered: “Gu Yuan seems to be in the Xishan camp now, he is…”
He didn’t remember very clearly, and was about to instruct the chief to inquire about it, when the door curtain was lifted at this moment, and a steward came in without squinting, blessed the two masters, and said: “Guo Gong Master, Madam, King Kang and Master Yuan heard that the grandfather of the country was ill, so they came to visit him specially, and they brought with them the Immortals of the Immortals.”
While speaking, the steward couldn’t help showing splendor.
Shangqing Zhenren is known as an immortal in the capital city, with excellent medical skills. On weekdays, there are many believers who come to Wuliang Temple to pay homage and seek medical treatment, but often they can’t even meet in person. It is to be posted half a month in advance.
The living gods like Shangqingren are not just invited.
Duke Wei and his wife looked at each other, and Mrs. Wei pulled the corners of her mouth with a half-smiling smile, and said meaningfully, “King Kang knows that the eldest prince is also in Tianyin Pavilion today.”
Duke Wei was the most impatient to deal with those pretentious noble families, and said angrily: “Let them go back, and say that this gentleman has rested.”
The steward took his life without saying a word.
After a while, Chu You and Yuan Zhe, who were waiting outside the gate of the Duke’s Mansion, received a message from the steward.
“Huh.” King Kang Chuyou in the carriage snorted slightly dissatisfiedly, “Let me tell you, these honorable people didn’t even wipe their mud legs, they just looked like a wealthy family.”
Three generations are wealthy families, and centuries are family.
The Duke of Wei has only been passed down to the second generation, and it is not even a wealthy family.
Yuan Zhe sat opposite Chu You and calmly said, “Don’t be impatient.”
He squinted at the plaque of Duke Wei’s mansion outside the window, and a trace of disapproval flashed across his deep eyes.
Yuan Zhe took a sip of his tea, and then said meaningfully: “The first prince is really hiding.”
In the carriage, it was quiet.
Chu You’s long and narrow eagle eyes squinted, shining with a cold light, and he couldn’t help thinking about the matter that led to his demotion.
After that day, he later received a letter from Chang’er, and only then did he know what happened in the Hou Mansion, and then thinking about the game in the Dongnuan Pavilion, he was finally convinced that he was being calculated.
Today, he specially brought Qingren here to see if Duke Wei is sick or not…
Chu You’s eyes became colder, and he asserted, “It must be Chu Yi doing something else.”
Duke Wei was watching a play in Tianyin Pavilion and vomited blood for no reason. He was seen by Chu Yi, who happened to be there, and there happened to be a “magic doctor” beside Chu Yi.
This is also a coincidence!
Chu You can’t believe that Chu Yi did not secretly use any tricks, such as: first harm people, then save them!
Yuan Zhe was noncommittal.
He opened one of the curtains and smiled apologetically at the silent Taoist priest in the other carriage, with a look of respect in his eyes, and said, “Today I have troubled Zhenren for nothing. Would you like to go to the humble house to rest?”
Shangqingzhen lifted his eyelids, his eyes were far-reaching and detached, he smiled lightly at Yuan Zhe, and said, “The good believer doesn’t have to worry, everything is fate. The poor Taoist still has to review the scriptures, so I won’t disturb the good believer today.”
Yuan Zhe didn’t force it any longer, and ordered the driver to send Shangqing Zhenren back to Wuliangguan, and then he left with Chu You.
Duke Wei was ranked as the fourth Duke, and every move of the Duke’s mansion was watched by many people in the court. Soon, everyone in the court knew that Duke Wei was seriously ill.
So, in the next few days, many noble ministers came to visit one after another.
Even Mrs. Gu Tai of Dingyuan Hou’s mansion had deliberately searched for some valuable medicinal materials, and planned to let Gu Jian and his wife go there in person.
However, the Duke of Wei’s mansion recently closed the door to thank guests, and Mrs. Gu Tai didn’t expect them to enter the door, she just wanted to express the meaning of friendship.
If you want to make friends with such nobles, the Houfu has to show sincerity.
“Xinwen, the herbs you’ve been looking for are a bit common. Why don’t you bring the 300-year-old ginseng in my warehouse with you.”
Mrs. Gu Tai was ruthless and decided to reluctantly cut her love.
Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Wang couldn’t help but be overjoyed. Just as she was about to thank Mrs. Tai, she was interrupted by the maid Bai Lu who had just entered the door: “Mrs. Tai, Miss Wei Jiu from Duke Wei’s Mansion is visiting.”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other in surprise.
Duke Wei’s status was detached, and even the late emperor dared to scold him back then, which shows his arrogance.
And this girl Wei Jiu is also the youngest daughter of the prince of the Duke of Wei, and is deeply favored by the Duke and his wife.
The Gu family has never had any contact with Duke Wei’s mansion, and they haven’t even come to visit. Why did this girl from Duke Wei’s mansion come in person? !
Bai Lu continued: “Miss Wei Jiu’s servant said that she came to see the second girl today.”
Bai Lu’s words were clear, but in Mrs. Gu Tai’s ears, “Second Girl” naturally referred to Gu Yunxuan.
